- Now they that were sent, pursued after them, by the way that leadeth to the fords of the Jordan: and as soon as they were gone out, the gate was presently shut. Josu. 2:7
- They answered her: Be our lives for you unto death, only if thou betray us not. And when the Lord shall have delivered us the land, we will shew thee mercy and truth. Josu. 2:14
- And she said to them: Get ye up to the mountains, lest perhaps they meet you as they return: and there lie ye hid three days, till they come back, and so you shall go on your way. Josu. 2:16
- And they said to her: We shall be blameless of this oath, which thou hast made us swear, Josu. 2:17
- But they went and came to the mountains, and stayed there three days, till they that pursued them were returned. For having sought them through all the way, they found them not. Josu. 2:22
- And when they were gone back into the city, the spies returned, and came down from the mountain: and passing over the Jordan, they came to Josue, the son of Nun, and told him all that befel them, Josu. 2:23

Josu. 3:16
- ¤ And when they were passed over, the Lord said to Josue: Josu. 4:1
- The children of Israel therefore did as Josue commanded them, carrying out of the channel of the Jordan twelve stones, as the Lord had commanded him according to the number of the children of Israel unto the place wherein they camped, and there they set them. Josu. 4:8
- And Josue put other twelve stones in the midst of the channel of the Jordan, where the priests stood that carried the ark of the covenant: and they are there until this present day. Josu. 4:9

- And the twelve stones, which they had taken out of the channel of the Jordan, Josue pitched in Galgal, Josu. 4:20
- ¤ Now when all the kings of the Amorrhites, who dwelt beyond the Jordan, westward, and all the kings of Chanaan, who possessed the places near the great sea, had heard that the Lord had dried up the waters of the Jordan before the children of Israel, till they passed over, their heart failed them, and there remained no spirit in them, fearing the coming in of the children of Israel. Josu. 5:1
- During the forty years of the journey in the wide wilderness, were uncircumcised: till all they were consumed that had not heard the voice of the Lord, and to whom he had sworn before, that he would not shew them the land flowing with milk and honey. Josu. 5:6
- The children of these succeeded in the place of their fathers, and were circumcised by Josue: for they were uncircumcised even as they were born, and no one had circumcised them in the way. Josu. 5:7
- Now after they were all circumcised, they remained in the same place of the camp, until they were healed. Josu. 5:8
- And the children of Israel abode in Galgal, and they kept the phase, on the fourteenth day of the month at evening, in the plains of Jericho: Josu. 5:10
- And they ate on the next day unleavened bread of the corn of the land, and frumenty of the same year. Josu. 5:11
- And the manna ceased after they ate of the corn of the land, neither did the children of Israel use that food any more, but they ate of the corn of the present year of the land of Chanaan. Josu. 5:12
- And when the voice of the trumpet shall give a longer and broken tune, and shall sound in your ears, all the people shall shout together with a very great shout, and the walls of the city shall fall to the ground, and they shall enter in every one at the place against which they shall stand. Josu. 6:5
- And seven of them seven trumpets, which are used in the jubilee: and they went before the ark of the Lord, walking and sounding the trumpets: and the armed men went before them, and the rest of the common people followed the ark, and they blew the trumpets. Josu. 6:13
- And they went round about the city the second day once, and returned into the camp. So they did six days. Josu. 6:14
- But the seventh day, rising up early, they went about the city, as it was ordered, seven times. Josu. 6:15
- So all the people making a shout, and the trumpets sounding, when the voice and the sound thundered in the ears of the multitude, the walls forthwith fell down: and every man went up by the place that was over against him: and they took the city, Josu. 6:20
- And killed all that were in it, man and woman, young and old. The oxen also, and the sheep, and the asses, they slew with the edge of the sword. Josu. 6:21
- But they burned the city, and all things that were therein; except the gold and silver, and vessels of brass and iron, which they consecrated into the treasury of the Lord. Josu. 6:24
- But Josue saved Rahab the harlot, and her father's house, and all she had, and they dwelt in the midst of Israel until this present day: because she hid the messengers whom he had sent to spy out Jericho. At that time, Josue made an imprecation, saying: Josu. 6:25
- And when Josue sent men from Jericho against Hai, which is beside Bethaven, on the east side of the town of Bethel, he said to them: Go up, and view the country: and they fulfilled his command, and viewed Hai. Josu. 7:2
- And returning, they said to him: Let not all the people go up, but let two or three thousand men go, and destroy the city: why should all the people be troubled in vain, against enemies that are very few? Josu. 7:3
- And were defeated by the men of the city of Hai, and there fell of them six and thirty men: and the enemies pursued them from the gate as far as Sabarim, and they slew them as they fled by the descent: and the heart of the people was struck with fear, and melted like water. Josu. 7:5
- But Josue rent his garments, and fell flat on the ground, before the ark of the Lord, until the evening, both he and all the ancients of Israel: and they put dust upon their heads. Josu. 7:6
- Israel hath sinned, and transgressed my covenant: and they have taken of the anathema, and have stolen and lied, and have hid it among their goods. Josu. 7:11
- And taking them away out of the tent, they brought them to Josue, and to all the children of Israel, and threw them down before the Lord. Josu. 7:23
- And they gathered together upon him a great heap of stones, which remaineth until this present day And the wrath of the Lord was turned away from them. And the name of that place was called the Valley of Achor, until this day. Josu. 7:26
- But I, and the rest of the multitude which is with me, will approach on the contrary side against the city. And when they shall come out against us, we will flee, and turn our backs, as we did before: Josu. 8:5
- Till they pursuing us be drawn farther from the city: for they will think that we flee as before. Josu. 8:6
- And whilst we are fleeing, and they pursuing, you shall rise out of the ambush, and shall destroy the city: and the Lord your God will deliver it into your hands. Josu. 8:7
- And he sent them away, and they went on to the place of the ambush, and abode between Bethel and Hai, on the west side of the city of Hai. But Josue stayed that night in the midst of the people, Josu. 8:9
- And when they were come, and were gone up over against the city, they stood on the north side of the city, between which and them there was a valley in the midst. Josu. 8:11
- But Josue, and all Israel gave back, making as if they were afraid, and fleeing by the way of the wilderness. Josu. 8:15
- But they shouting together, and encouraging one another, pursued them. And when they were come from the city, Josu. 8:16
- And not one remained in the city of Hai and of Bethel, that did not pursue after Israel, leaving the towns open as they had rushed out, Josu. 8:17
- And the men of the city, that pursued after Josue, looking back, and seeing the smoke of the city rise up to heaven, had no more power to flee this way or that way: especially as they that had counterfeited flight, and were going toward the wilderness, turned back most valiantly against them that pursued. Josu. 8:20
- And they also that had taken and set the city on fire, issuing out of the city to meet their own men, began to cut off the enemies who were surrounded by them. So that the enemies being cut off on both sides, not one of so great a multitude was saved. Josu. 8:22
- And they took the king of the city of Hai alive and brought him to Josue. Josu. 8:23
- And he hung the king thereof on a gibbet, until the evening and the going down of the sun. Then Josue commanded, and they took down his carcass from the gibbet: and threw it in the very entrance of the city, heaping upon it a great heap of stones, which remaineth until this present day. Josu. 8:29
- ¤ Now when these things were heard of, all the kings beyond the Jordan, that dwelt in the mountains, and in the plains, in the places near the sea, and on the coasts of the great sea, they also that dwell by Libanus, the Hethite, and the Amorrhite, the Chanaanite, the Pherezite, and the Hevite, and the Jebusite, Josu. 9:1
- But they that dwelt in Gabaon, hearing all that Josue had done to Jericho and Hai: Josu. 9:3
- And very old shoes, which for a show of age were clouted with patches, and old garments upon them: the loaves also, which they carried for provisions by the way, were hard, and broken into pieces: Josu. 9:5
- And they went to Josue, who then abode in the camp at Galgal, and said to him, and to all Israel with him: We are come from a far country, desiring to make peace with you. And the children of Israel answered them, and said: Josu. 9:6
- But they said to Josue: We are thy servants. Josue said to them: Who are you? and whence came you? Josu. 9:8
- They answered: From a very far country thy servants are come in the name of the Lord thy God. For we have heard the fame of his power, all the things that he did in Egypt. Josu. 9:9
- Behold, these loaves we took hot, when we set out from our houses to come to you, now they are become dry, and broken in pieces by being exceeding old. Josu. 9:12
- These bottles of wine when we filled them were new, now they are rent and burst. These garments we have on, and the shoes we have on our feet, by reason of the very long journey, are worn out, and almost consumed. Josu. 9:13
- They took therefore of their victuals, and consulted not the mouth of the Lord. Josu. 9:14
- And Josue made peace with them, and entering into a league, promised that they should not be slain: the princes also of the multitude swore to them. Josu. 9:15
- Now three days after the league was made, they heard that they dwelt nigh, and they should be among them. Josu. 9:16
- And they slew them not, because the princes of the multitude had sworn in the name of the Lord, the God of Israel. Then all the common people murmured against the princes. Josu. 9:18
- And they answered them: We have sworn to them in the name of the Lord, the God of Israel, and therefore we may not touch them. Josu. 9:19
- But so let them live, as to serve the whole multitude in hewing wood, and bringing in water. As they were speaking these things, Josu. 9:21
- They answered: It was told us, thy servants, that the Lord thy God had promised his servant Moses, to give you all the land, and to destroy all the inhabitants thereof. Therefore we feared exceedingly and provided for our lives, compelled by the dread we had of you, and we took this counsel. Josu. 9:24
- So Josue did as he had said, and delivered them from the hand of the children of Israel, that they should not be slain. Josu. 9:26
- And he gave orders in that day, that they should be in the service of all the people, and of the altar of the Lord, hewing wood, and carrying water, until this present time, in the place which the Lord hath chosen. Josu. 9:27
- So the five kings of the Amorrhites being assembled together, went up: the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jerimoth, the king of Lachis, the king of Eglon, they and their armies, and camped about Gabaon, laying siege to it. Josu. 10:5
- And when they were fleeing from the children of Israel, and were in the descent of Bethoron, the Lord cast down upon them great stones from heaven, as far as Azeca: and many more were killed with the hailstones, than were slain by the swords of the children of Israel, Josu. 10:11
- And stay you not, but pursue after the enemies, and kill all the hindermost of them as they flee, and do not suffer them whom the Lord God hath delivered into your hands, to shelter themselves in their cities. Josu. 10:19
- So the enemies being slain with a great slaughter, and almost utterly consumed, they that were able to escape from Israel, entered into fenced cities. Josu. 10:20
- And the ministers did as they were commanded: and they brought out to him the five kings out of the cave: the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jerimoth, the king of Lachis, the king of Eglon. Josu. 10:23

- ¤ And when all the army heard that Holofernes was beheaded, courage and counsel fled from them, and being seized with trembling and fear they thought only to save themselves by flight. Jud. 15:1
- So that no one spoke to his neighbour, but hanging down the head, leaving all things behind, they made haste to escape from the Hebrews, who, as they heard, were coming armed upon them, and fled by the ways of the fields, and the paths of the hills. Jud. 15:2

- And on the fourteenth day of the month Adar the Jews gathered themselves together, and they killed in Susan three hundred men: but they took not their substance. Esther 9:15
- Now the thirteenth day of the month Adar was the first day with them all of the slaughter, and on the fourteenth day they left off. Which they ordained to be kept holy day, so that all times hereafter they should celebrate it with feasting, joy, and banquets. Esther 9:17
- But they that were killing in the city of Susan, were employed in the slaughter on the thirteenth and fourteenth day of the same month: and on the fifteenth day they rested. And therefore they appointed that day to be a holy day of feasting and gladness. Esther 9:18

- ¤ For they have said, reasoning with themselves, but not right: The time of our life is short and tedious, and in the end of a man there is no remedy, and no man hath been known to have returned from hell: Wis. 2:1
- Let us crown ourselves with roses, before they be withered: let no meadow escape our riot. Wis. 2:8
- These things they thought, and were deceived: for their own malice blinded them. Wis. 2:21

- For they shall see the end of the wise man, and shall not understand what God hath designed for him, and why the Lord hath set him in safety. Wis. 4:17
- They shall see him, and shall despise him: but the Lord shall laugh them to scorn. Wis. 4:18
- And they shall fall after this without honour, and be a reproach among the dead for ever: for he shall burst them puffed up and speechless, and shall shake them from the foundations, and they shall be utterly laid waste: they shall be in sorrow, and their memory shall perish. Wis. 4:19
- They shall come with fear at the thought of their sins, and their iniquities shall stand against them to convict them. Wis. 4:20
- Saying within themselves, repenting, and groaning for anguish of spirit: These are they, whom we had sometime in derision, and for a parable of reproach. Wis. 5:3
- Behold, how they are numbered among the children of God, and their lot is among the saints. Wis. 5:5

- Then shafts of lightning shall go directly from the clouds, as from a bow well bent, they shall be shot out, and shall fly to the mark. Wis. 5:22

- They shall wait for me when I hold my peace, and they shall look upon me when I speak; and if I talk much, they shall lay their hands on their mouth. Wis. 8:12
- For by wisdom they were healed, whosoever have pleased thee, O Lord, from the beginning. Wis. 9:19
- For regarding not wisdom, they did not only slip in this, that they were ignorant of good things; but they left also unto men a memorial of their folly, so that in the things in which they sinned, they could not so much as lie hid. Wis. 10:8
- And they sung to thy holy name, O Lord, and they praised with one accord thy victorious hand. Wis. 10:20
- They went through wildernesses that were not inhabited, and in desert places they pitched their tents. Wis. 11:2
- They stood against their enemies, and revenged themselves of their adversaries. Wis. 11:3
- They were thirsty, and they called upon thee, and water was given them out of the high rock, and a refreshment of their thirst out of the hard stone. Wis. 11:4
- By the same things they in their need were benefited. Wis. 11:6
- And whilst they were diminished for a manifest reproof of their murdering the infants, thou gavest to thine abundant water unlooked for: Wis. 11:8
- For when they were tried, and chastised with mercy, they knew how the wicked were judged with wrath, and tormented. Wis. 11:10
- For whether absent or present, they were tormented alike. Wis. 11:12
- For when they heard that by their punishments the others were benefited, they remembered the Lord, wondering at the end of what was come to pass. Wis. 11:14
- For whom they scorned before, when he was thrown out at the time of his being wickedly exposed to perish, him they admired in the end, when they saw the event: their thirsting being unlike to that of the just. Wis. 11:15
- That they might know that by what things a man sinneth, by the same also he is tormented. Wis. 11:17
- Yea, and without these, they might have been slain with one blast, persecuted by their own deeds, and scattered by the breath of thy power: but thou hast ordered all things in measure, and number, and weight. Wis. 11:21
- But thou sparest all: because they are thine, O Lord, who lovest souls. Wis. 11:27
- And therefore thou chastisest them that err, by little and little: and admonishest them, and speakest to them, concerning the things wherein they offend: that leaving their wickedness, they may believe in thee, O Lord. Wis. 12:2
- Because they did works hateful to thee by their sorceries, and wicked sacrifices, Wis. 12:4
- But executing thy judgments by degrees, thou gavest them place of repentance, not being ignorant that they were a wicked generation, and their malice natural, and that their thought could never be changed. Wis. 12:10
- But thou hast taught thy people by such works, that they must be just and humane, and hast made thy children to be of a good hope: because in judging, thou givest place for repentance for sins. Wis. 12:19
- For if thou didst punish the enemies of thy servants, and that deserved to die, with so great deliberation, giving them time and place whereby they might be changed from their wickedness: Wis. 12:20
- Wherefore thou hast also greatly tormented them, who, in their life, have lived foolishly and unjustly, by the same things which they worshipped. Wis. 12:23
- For they went astray for a long time in the ways of error, holding those things for gods which are the most worthless among beasts, living after the manner of children without understanding. Wis. 12:24
- But they that were not amended by mockeries and reprehensions, experienced the worthy judgment of God. Wis. 12:26
- For seeing, with indignation, that they suffered by those very things which they took for gods, when they were destroyed by the same, they acknowledged him the true God, whom in time past they denied that they knew: for which cause the end also of their condemnation came upon them. Wis. 12:27
- With whose beauty, if they, being delighted, took them to be gods: let them know how much the Lord of them is more beautiful than they: for the first author of beauty made all those things. Wis. 13:3
- Or if they admired their power, and their effects, let them understand by them, that he that made them, is mightier than they: Wis. 13:4
- But yet as to these they are less to be blamed. For they perhaps err, seeking God, and desirous to find him. Wis. 13:6
- For being conversant among his works, they search: and they are persuaded that the things are good which are seen. Wis. 13:7
- But then again they are not to be pardoned. Wis. 13:8
- For if they were able to know so much as to make a judgment of the world: how did they not more easily find out the Lord thereof? Wis. 13:9
- But unhappy are they, and their hope is among the dead, who have called gods the works of the hand of men, gold and silver, the inventions of art, and the resemblances of beasts, or an unprofitable stone the work of an ancient hand. Wis. 13:10
- For neither were they from the beginning, neither shall they be for ever. Wis. 14:13
- For by the vanity of men they came into the world: and therefore they shall be found to come shortly to an end. Wis. 14:14
- And those whom men could not honour in presence, because they dwelt far off, they brought their resemblance from afar, and made an express image of the king, whom they had a mind to honour: that by this their diligence, they might honour as present, him that was absent. Wis. 14:17
- And it was not enough for them to err about the knowledge of God, but whereas they lived in a great war of ignorance, they call so many and so great evils peace. Wis. 14:22
- For either they sacrifice their own children, or use hidden sacrifices, or keep watches full of madness, Wis. 14:23
- So that now they neither keep life, nor marriage undefiled, but one killeth another through envy, or grieveth him by adultery: Wis. 14:24
- For either they are mad when they are merry: or they prophesy lies, or they live unjustly, or easily forswear themselves. Wis. 14:28
- For whilst they trust in idols, which are without life, though they swear amiss, they look not to be hurt. Wis. 14:29
- But for both these things they shall be justly punished, because they have thought not well of God, giving heed to idols, and have sworn unjustly, in guile despising justice. Wis. 14:30
- For it is not the power of them, by whom they swear, but the just vengeance of sinners always punisheth the transgression of the unjust. Wis. 14:31
- The lovers of evil things deserve to have no better things to trust in, both they that make them, and they that love them, and they that worship them. Wis. 15:6
- Yea, and they have counted our life a pastime and the business of life to be gain, and that we must be getting every way, even out of evil. Wis. 15:12
- For they have esteemed all the idols of the heathens for gods, which neither have the use of eyes to see, nor noses to draw breath, nor ears to hear, nor fingers of hands to handle, and as for their feet, they are slow to walk. Wis. 15:15
- For being mortal himself, he formeth a dead thing with his wicked hands. For he is better than they whom he worshippeth, because he indeed hath lived, though he were mortal, but they never. Wis. 15:17
- Moreover, they worship also the vilest creatures: but things without sense, compared to these, are worse than they. Wis. 15:18
- Yea, neither by sight can any man see good of these beasts. But they have fled from the praise of God, and from his blessing. Wis. 15:19
- ¤ For these things, and by the like things to these, they were worthily punished, and were destroyed by a multitude of beasts. Wis. 16:1
- To the end, that they indeed desiring food, by means of those things that were shewn and sent among them, might loath even that which was necessary to satisfy their desire. But these, after suffering want for a short time, tasted a new meat. Wis. 16:3
- For when the fierce rage of beasts came upon these, they were destroyed by the bitings of crooked serpents. Wis. 16:5
- But thy wrath endured not for ever, but they were troubled for a short time for their correction, having a sign of salvation, to put them in remembrance of the commandment of thy law. Wis. 16:6
- For the bitings of locusts, and of flies, killed them, and there was found no remedy for their life: because they were worthy to be destroyed by such things. Wis. 16:9
- For they were examined for the remembrance of thy words, and were quickly healed, lest falling into deep forgetfulness, they might not be able to use thy help. Wis. 16:11
- For at one time the fire was mitigated, that the beasts which were sent against the wicked might not be burnt, but that they might see, and perceive that they were persecuted by the judgment of God. Wis. 16:18
- But snow and ice endured the force of fire, and melted not: that they might know that the fire, burning in the hail, and flashing in the rain, destroyed the fruits of the enemies. Wis. 16:22
- For while the wicked thought to be able to have dominion over the holy nation, they themselves being fettered with the bonds of darkness, and a long night, shut up in their houses, lay there exiled from the eternal providence. Wis. 17:2
- And while they thought to lie hid in their obscure sins, they were scattered under a dark veil of forgetfullness, being horribly afraid, and troubled with exceeding great astonishment. Wis. 17:3
- But there appeared to them a sudden fire, very dreadful: and being struck with the fear of that face, which was not seen, they thought the things which they saw to be worse: Wis. 17:6
- For they who promised to drive away fears and troubles from a sick soul, were sick themselves of a fear worthy to be laughed at. Wis. 17:8
- For though no terrible thing disturbed them: yet being scared with the passing by of beasts, and hissing of serpents, they died for fear and denying that they saw the air, which could by no means be avoided. Wis. 17:9
- But they that during that night, in which nothing could be done, and which came upon them from the lowest and deepest hell, slept the same sleep, Wis. 17:13
- For they were all bound together with one chain of darkness. Whether it were a whistling wind, or the melodious voice of birds, among the spreading branches of trees, or a fall of water running down with violence, Wis. 17:17
- But over them only was spread a heavy night, an image of that darkness which was to come upon them. But they were to themselves more grievous than the darkness. Wis. 17:20
- ¤ But thy saints had a very great light, and they heard their voice indeed, but did not see their shape. And because they also did not suffer the same things, they glorified thee: Wis. 18:1
- And they that before had been wronged, gave thanks, because they were not hurt now: and asked this gift, that there might be a difference. Wis. 18:2
- Therefore they received a burning pillar of fire for a guide of the way which they knew not, and thou gavest them a harmless sun of a good entertainment. Wis. 18:3
- And whereas they thought to kill the babes of the just: one child being cast forth, and saved to reprove them, thou tookest away a multitude of their children, and destroyedst them altogether in a mighty water. Wis. 18:5
- For that night was known before by our fathers, that assuredly knowing what oaths they had trusted to, they might be of better courage. Wis. 18:6
- For the just children of good men were offering sacrifice secretly, and they unanimously ordered a law of justice: that the just should receive both good and evil alike, singing now the praises of the fathers. Wis. 18:9
- For whereas they would not believe any thing before by reason of the enchantments, then first upon the destruction of the firstborn, they acknowledged the people to be of God. Wis. 18:13
- For the visions that troubled them foreshewed these things, lest they should perish, and not know why they suffered these evils. Wis. 18:19
- For when they were now fallen down dead by heaps one upon another, he stood between and stayed the assault, and cut off the way to the living. Wis. 18:23
- ¤ But as to the wicked, even to the end there came upon them wrath without mercy. For he knew before also what they would do: Wis. 19:1
- For when they had given them leave to depart and had sent them away with great care, they repented and pursued after them. Wis. 19:2
- For whilst they were yet mourning, and lamenting at the graves of the dead, they took up another foolish device: and pursued them as fugitives whom they had pressed to be gone: Wis. 19:3
- For a necessity, of which they were worthy, brought them to this end: and they lost the remembrance of those things which had happened, that their punishment might fill up what was wanting to their torments: Wis. 19:4
- And that thy people might wonderfully pass through, but they might find a new death. Wis. 19:5
- For they fed on their food like horses, and they skipped like lambs, praising thee, O Lord, who hadst delivered them. Wis. 19:9
- For they were yet mindful of those things which had been done in the time of their sojourning, how the ground brought forth flies instead of cattle, and how the river cast up a multitude of frogs instead of fishes. Wis. 19:10
- And at length they saw a new generation of birds, when being led by their appetite, they asked for delicate meats. Wis. 19:11
- For to satisfy their desire, the quail came up to them from the sea: and punishments came upon the sinners, not without foregoing signs by the force of thunders: for they suffered justly according to their own wickedness. Wis. 19:12
- For they exercised a more detestable inhospitality than any: others indeed received not strangers unknown to them, but these brought their guests into bondage that had deserved well of them. Wis. 19:13
- And not only so, but in another respect also they were worse: for the others against their will received the strangers. Wis. 19:14
- But these grievously afflicted them whom they had received with joy, and who lived under the same laws. Wis. 19:15
- But they were struck with blindness: as those others were at the doors of the just man, when they were covered with sudden darkness, and every one sought the passage of his own door. Wis. 19:16
- On the other side, the flames wasted not the flesh of corruptible animals walking therein, neither did they melt that good food, which was apt to melt as ice. For in all things thou didst magnify thy people, O Lord, and didst honour them, and didst not despise them, but didst assist them at all times, and in every place. Wis. 19:20
- And they to whom she shall shew herself love her by the sight, and by the knowledge of her great works. Sir. 1:15
- Woe to them that are fainthearted, who believe not God: and therefore they shall not be protected by him. Sir. 2:15
- And what will they do, when the Lord shall begin to examine? Sir. 2:17
- They that fear the Lord, will not be incredulous to his word: and they that love him, will keep his way. Sir. 2:18

- They that serve her, shall be servants to the holy one: and God loveth them that love her. Sir. 4:15
- Be not anxious for goods unjustly gotten: for they shall not profit thee in the day of calamity and revenge. Sir. 5:10
- A faithful friend is the medicine of life and immortality: and they that fear the Lord, shall find him. Sir. 6:16
- She shall be to them as a mighty stone of trial, and they will cast her from them before it be long. Sir. 6:22
- Hast thou cattle? have an eye to them: and if they be for thy profit, keep them with thee. Sir. 7:24
- Remember that thou hadst not been born but through them: and make a return to them as they have done for thee. Sir. 7:30
- Let not the discourse of the ancients escape thee, for they have learned of their fathers: Sir. 8:11
- Advise not with fools, for they cannot love but such things as please them. Sir. 8:20
- As the judge of the people is himself, so also are his ministers: and what manner of man the ruler of a city is, such also are they that dwell therein. Sir. 10:2
- In the midst of brethren their chief is honourable: so shall they that fear the Lord, be in his eyes. Sir. 10:24
- They that are free shall serve a servant that is wise: and a man that is prudent and well instructed will not murmur when he is reproved; and he that is ignorant, shall not be honoured. Sir. 10:28
- Error and darkness are created with sinners: and they that glory in evil things, grow old in evil. Sir. 11:16
- What agreement shall the earthen pot have with the kettle? for if they knock one against the other, it shall be broken. Sir. 13:3
- When a rich man hath been deceived, he hath many helpers: he hath spoken proud things, and they have justified him. Sir. 13:26
- The rich man spoke, and all held their peace, and what he said they extol even to the clouds. Sir. 13:28
- The poor man spoke, and they say: Who is this? and if he stumble, they will overthrow him. Sir. 13:29
- Lying men shall not be mindful of her: but men that speak truth shall be found with her, and shall advance, even till they come to the sight of God. Sir. 15:8
- The Lord hateth all abomination of error, and they that fear him shall not love it. Sir. 15:13
- If thou wilt keep the commandments and perform acceptable fidelity for ever, they shall preserve thee. Sir. 15:16
- ¤ Rejoice not in ungodly children, if they be multiplied: neither be delighted in them, if the fear of God be not with them. Sir. 16:1

- And they roar and cry before their gods, as men do at the feast when one is dead. Bar. 6:31
- And whether it be evil that one doth unto them, or good, they are not able to recompense it: neither can they set up a king, nor put him down: Bar. 6:33

- But all things that are done about them, are false: how is it then to be thought, or to be said, that they are gods? Bar. 6:44
- And they are made by workmen, and by goldsmiths. They shall be nothing else but what the priests will have them to be. Bar. 6:45
- But they have left false things and reproach to them that come after. Bar. 6:47
- For when war cometh upon them , or evils: the priests consult with themselves, where they may hide themselves with them. Bar. 6:48
- How then can they be thought to be gods, that can neither deliver themselves from war, nor save themselves from evils? Bar. 6:49
- For seeing they are but of wood, and laid over with gold, and with silver, it shall be known hereafter that they are false things, by all nations, and kings: and it shall be manifest that they are no gods, but the work of men's hands, and that there is no work of God in them. Bar. 6:50
- Whence, therefore, is it known that they are not gods, but the work of men's hands, and no work of God is in them? Bar. 6:51
- They cannot set up a king over the land, nor give rain to men. Bar. 6:52
- They determine no causes, nor deliver countries from oppression: because they can do nothing, and are as daws between heaven and earth. Bar. 6:53

- And they cannot withstand a king and war. How then can it be supposed, or admitted, that they are gods? Bar. 6:55
- Neither are these gods of wood, and of stone, and laid over with gold, and with silver, able to deliver themselves from thieves or robbers: they that are stronger than them, Bar. 6:56
- Shall take from them the gold, and silver, and the raiment wherewith they are clothed, and shall go their way, neither shall they help themselves. Bar. 6:57
- Wherefore it is neither to be thought, nor to be said, that they are gods: since they are neither able to judge causes, nor to do any good to men. Bar. 6:63
- Knowing, therefore, that they are not gods, fear them not. Bar. 6:64
- For neither can they curse kings, nor bless them. Bar. 6:65
- Neither do they shew signs in the heaven to the nations, nor shine as the sun, nor give light as the moon. Bar. 6:66
- Beasts are better than they, which can fly under a covert, and help themselves. Bar. 6:67
- Therefore there is no manner of appearance that they are gods: so fear them not. Bar. 6:68
- They are no better than a white thorn in a garden, upon which every bird sitteth. In like manner also their gods of wood, and laid over with gold, and with silver, are like to a dead body cast forth in the dark. Bar. 6:70
- By the purple also and the scarlet which are motheaten upon them, you shall know that they are not gods. And they themselves at last are consumed, and shall be a reproach in the country. Bar. 6:71

- When they went, they went by their four parts: and they turned not when they went. Ezec. 1:17
- And I heard the noise of their wings, like the noise of many waters, as it were the voice of the most high God: when they walked, it was like the voice of a multitude, like the noise of an army, and when they stood, their wings were let down. Ezec. 1:24
- For when a voice came from above the firmament, that was over their heads, they stood, and let down their wings. Ezec. 1:25
- And saying: Son of man, I send thee to the children of Israel, to a rebellious people, that hath revolted from me, they, and their fathers, have transgressed my covenant even unto this day. Ezec. 2:3

- If so be they at least will hear, and if so be they will forbear, for they are a provoking house: and they shall know that there hath been a prophet in the midst of them. Ezec. 2:5
- And thou, O son of man, fear not, neither be thou afraid of their words: for thou art among unbelievers and destroyers, and thou dwellest with scorpions. Fear not their words, neither be thou dismayed at their looks: for they are a provoking house. Ezec. 2:6
- And thou shalt speak my words to them, if perhaps they will hear, and forbear: for they provoke me to anger. Ezec. 2:7
- Nor to many nations of a strange speech, and of an unknown tongue, whose words thou canst not understand: and if thou wert sent to them, they would hearken to thee. Ezec. 3:6
- But the house of Israel will not hearken to thee: because they will not hearken to me: for all the house of Israel are of a hard forehead and an obstinate heart. Ezec. 3:7
- I have made thy face like an adamant and like flint: fear them not, neither be thou dismayed at their presence: for they are a provoking house. Ezec. 3:9

- And I came to them of the captivity, to the heap of new corn, to them that dwelt by the river Chobar, and I sat where they sat: and I remained there seven days mourning in the midst of them. Ezec. 3:15
- And thou, O son of man, behold they shall put bands upon thee, and they shall bind thee with them: and thou shalt not go forth from the midst of them. Ezec. 3:25
- And I will make thy tongue stick fast to the roof of thy mouth, and thou shalt be dumb, and not as a man that reproveth: because they are a provoking house. Ezec. 3:26
- But when I shall speak to thee, I will open thy mouth, and thou shalt say to them: Thus saith the Lord God: He that heareth, let him hear: and he that forbeareth, let him forbear: for they are a provoking house. Ezec. 3:27
- And he said to me: Son of man: Behold, I will break in pieces the staff of bread in Jerusalem: and they shall eat bread by weight, and with care: and they shall drink water by measure, and in distress. Ezec. 4:16

- And I will bring the worst of the nations, and they shall possess their houses: and I will make the pride of the mighty to cease, and they shall possess their sanctuary. Ezec. 7:24
- When distress cometh upon them, they will seek for peace and there shall be none. Ezec. 7:25

Ezec. 13:9
- Because they have deceived my people, saying: Peace, and there is no peace: and the people built up a wall, and they daubed it with dirt without straw. Ezec. 13:10

- And if these three men, Noe, Daniel, and Job, shall be in it: they shall deliver their own souls by their justice, saith the Lord of hosts. Ezec. 14:14
- If these three men shall be in it, as I live, saith the Lord, they shall deliver neither sons nor daughters: but they only shall be delivered, and the land shall be made desolate. Ezec. 14:16
- And these three men be in the midst thereof: as I live, saith the Lord God, they shall deliver neither sons nor daughters, but they themselves alone shall be delivered. Ezec. 14:18
- And Noe, and Daniel, and Job be in the midst thereof: as I live, saith the Lord God, they shall deliver neither son nor daughter: but they shall only deliver their own souls by their justice. Ezec. 14:20
- Yet there shall be left in it some that shall be saved, who shall bring away their sons and daughters: behold they shall come among you, and you shall see their way, and their doings: and you shall be comforted concerning the evil that I have brought upon Jerusalem, in all things that I have brought upon it.

- And he passed over to them first, and all the people after him, and all the heathens were discomfited before them, and they threw away their weapons, and fled to the temple that was in Carnaim. 1 Ma. 5:43
- And they came as far as Ephron: now this was a great city, situate in the way, strongly fortified, and there was no means to turn from it on the right hand or on the left, but the way was through the midst of it. 1 Ma. 5:46
- And they that were in the city shut themselves in, and stopped up the gates with stones: and Judas sent to them with peaceable words, 1 Ma. 5:47
- Saying: Let us pass through your land, to go into our own country, and no man shall hurt you; we will only pass through on foot. But they would not open to them. 1 Ma. 5:48

- And whosoever shall flee into the temple that is in Jerusalem, and in all the borders thereof, being indebted to the king for any matter, let them be set at liberty, and all that they have in my kingdom, let them have it free. 1 Ma. 10:43
- Now when Jonathan and the people heard these words, they gave no credit to them, nor received them because they remembered the great evil that he had done in Israel, for he had afflicted them exceedingly. 1 Ma. 10:46
- And their inclinations were towards Alexander, because he had been the chief promoter of peace in their regard, and him they always helped. 1 Ma. 10:47
- And he commanded that Jonathan's garments should be taken off, and that he should be clothed with purple: and they did so. And the king made him sit by himself. 1 Ma. 10:62
- So when his accusers saw his glory proclaimed, and him clothed with purple, they all fled away. 1 Ma. 10:64
- And they pitched their tents near Joppe, but they shut him out of the city: because a garrison of Apollonius was in Joppe, and he laid siege to it. 1 Ma. 10:75
- And they that were in the city being affrighted, opened the gates to him: so Jonathan took Joppe. 1 Ma. 10:76
- And he went to Azotus, as one that was making a journey, and immediately he went forth into the plain: because he had a great number of horsemen, and he trusted in them. And Jonathan followed after him to Azotus, and they joined battle. 1 Ma. 10:78
- And Jonathan knew that there was an ambush behind him, and they surrounded his army, and cast darts at the people from morning till evening. 1 Ma. 10:80
- Then Simon drew forth his army, and attacked the legion: for the horsemen were wearied: and they were discomfited by him, and fled. 1 Ma. 10:82
- And they that were scattered about the plain fled into Azotus, and went into Bethdagon, their idol's temple, there to save themselves. 1 Ma. 10:83

- And he went out into Syria with peaceable words and they opened to him the cities, and met him: for king Alexander had ordered them to go forth to meet him, because he was his father in law. 1 Ma. 11:2
- And when he came near to Azotus, they shewed him the temple of Dagon that was burnt with fire, and Azotus, and the suburbs thereof, that were destroyed, and the bodies that were cast abroad, and the graves of them that were slain in the battle, which they had made near the way. 1 Ma. 11:4
- And they told the king that Jonathan had done these things, to make him odious: but the king held his peace. 1 Ma. 11:5
- And Jonathan came to meet the king at Joppe with glory, and they saluted one another, and they lodged there. 1 Ma. 11:6
- Now king Alexander was in Cilicia at that time: because they that were in those places had rebelled. 1 Ma. 11:14
- And king Ptolemee died the third day after: and they that were in the strong holds were destroyed by them that were within the camp. 1 Ma. 11:18
- In those days Jonathan gathered together them that were in Judea, to take the castle that was in Jerusalem: and they made many engines of war against it. 1 Ma. 11:20
- We have determined to do good to the nation of the Jews, who are our friends, and keep the things that are just with us, for their good will which they bear towards us. 1 Ma. 11:33
- And Jonathan sent to king Demetrius, desiring that he would cast out them that were in the castle in Jerusalem, and those that were in the strong holds: because they fought against Israel. 1 Ma. 11:41
- And Jonathan sent him three thousand valiant men to Antioch: and they came to the king, and the king was very glad of their coming. 1 Ma. 11:44
- And they that were of the city assembled themselves together, to the number of a hundred and twenty thousand men, and would have killed the king. 1 Ma. 11:45
- And the king fled into the palace: and they of the city kept the passages of the city, and began to fight. 1 Ma. 11:46
- And the king called the Jews to his assistance: and they came to him all at once, and they all dispersed themselves through the city. 1 Ma. 11:47
- And they slew in that day a hundred thousand men, and they set fire to the city, and got many spoils that day, and delivered the king. 1 Ma. 11:48
- And they that were of the city saw that the Jews had got the city as they would: and they were discouraged in their minds, and cried to the king, making supplication, and saying 1 Ma. 11:49
- And they threw down their arms, and made peace, and the Jews were glorified in the sight of the king, and in the sight of all that were in his realm, and were renowned throughout the kingdom, and returned to Jerusalem with many spoils. 1 Ma. 11:51
- And there assembled unto him all the hands which Demetrius had sent away, and they fought against Demetrius who turned his back and fled. 1 Ma. 11:55
- Then Jonathan went forth, and passed through the cities beyond the river, and all the forces of Syria gathered themselves to him to help him, and he came to Ascalon, and they met him honourably out of the city. 1 Ma. 11:60
- And he went from thence to Gaza: and they that were in Gaza shut him out: and he besieged it, and burnt all the suburbs round about, and took the spoils. 1 Ma. 11:61
- And they desired him to make peace, and he granted it them: and he cast them out from thence, and took the city, and placed a garrison in it. 1 Ma. 11:66
- And Jonathan and his army encamped by the water of Genesar, and before it was light they were ready in the plain of Asor. 1 Ma. 11:67
- And behold the army of the strangers met him in the plain, and they laid an ambush for him in the mountains: but he went out against them. 1 Ma. 11:68
- And they that lay in ambush rose out of their places, and joined battle. 1 Ma. 11:69
- And Jonathan turned again to them to battle, and he put them to flight, and they fought. 1 Ma. 11:72
- And they of his part that fled saw this, and they turned again to him, and they all with him pursued the enemies, even to Cades, to their own camp, and they came even thither. 1 Ma. 11:73
- And they went to Rome, and entered into the senate house, and said: Jonathan, the high priest, and the nation of the Jews, have sent us to renew the amity, and alliance, as it was before. 1 Ma. 12:3
- And they gave them letters to their governors in every place, to conduct them into the land of Juda with peace. 1 Ma. 12:4
- It is found in writing concerning the Spartans, and the Jews, that they are brethren, and that they are of the stock of Abraham. 1 Ma. 12:21
- And he sent spies into their camp, and they came back, and brought him word that they designed to come upon them in the night. 1 Ma. 12:26
- And the enemies heard that Jonathan and his men were ready for battle: and they were struck with fear and dread in their heart: and they kindled fires in their camp. 1 Ma. 12:28
- But Jonathan, and they that were with him, knew it not till the morning: for they saw the lights burning. 1 Ma. 12:29
- And Jonathan pursued after them, but overtook them not: for they had passed the river Eleutherus. 1 Ma. 12:30
- (For he heard that they designed to deliver the hold to them that took part with Demetrius) and he put a garrison there to keep it. 1 Ma. 12:34
- And to build up walls in Jerusalem, and raise a mount between the castle and the city, to separate it from the city, that so it might have no communication, and that they might neither buy nor sell. 1 Ma. 12:36
- And they came together to build up the city: for the wall that was upon the brook, towards the east, was broken down, and he repaired that which is called Caphetetha: 1 Ma. 12:37
- And Jonathan believed him, and did as he said: and sent away his army, and they departed into the land of Juda: 1 Ma. 12:46
- Now as soon as Jonathan entered into Ptolemais, they of Ptolemais shut the gates of the city, and took him: and all them that came in with him they slew with the sword. 1 Ma. 12:48
- But they, when they understood that Jonathan, and all that were with him, were taken and slain, encouraged one another, and went out ready for battle. 1 Ma. 12:50
- Then they that had come after them, seeing that they stood for their lives, returned back. 1 Ma. 12:51
- Whereupon they all came peaceably into the land of Juda and they bewailed Jonathan, and them that had been with him, exceedingly: and Israel mourned with great lamentation. 1 Ma. 12:52
- Then all the heathens that were round about them, sought to destroy them. For they said: 1 Ma. 12:53
- They have no prince, nor any to help them: now therefore, let us make war upon them, and take away the memory of them from amongst men. 1 Ma. 12:54
- And the spirit of the people was enkindled as soon as they heard these words: 1 Ma. 13:7
- And they answered with a loud voice, saying: Thou art our leader in the place of Judas, and Jonathan, thy brother: 1 Ma. 13:8
- And after this, Tryphon entered within the country, to destroy it: and they went about by the way that leadeth to Ador: and Simon and his army marched to every place whithersoever they went. 1 Ma. 13:20
- And they that were in the castle, sent messengers to Tryphon, that he should make haste to come through the desert, and send them victuals. 1 Ma. 13:21
- And all Israel bewailed him with great lamentation: and they mourned for him many days. 1 Ma. 13:26
- And they that were within the engine leapt into the city: and there was a great uproar in the city. 1 Ma. 13:44
- And they that were in the city went up, with their wives and children, upon the wall, with their garments rent, and they cried with a loud voice, beseeching Simon to grant them peace. 1 Ma. 13:45
- And they said: Deal not with us according to our evil deeds, but according to thy mercy. 1 Ma. 13:46
- But they that were in the castle of Jerusalem were hindered from going out and coming into the country, and from buying and selling: and they were straitened with hunger, and many of them perished through famine. 1 Ma. 13:49
- And they cried to Simon for peace, and he granted it to them: and he cast them out from thence and cleansed the castle from uncleannesses. 1 Ma. 13:50
- And they entered into it the three and twentieth day of the second month, in the year one hundred and seventy-one, with thanksgiving, and branches of palm trees, and harps, and cymbals, and psalteries, and hymns, and canticles, because the great enemy was destroyed out of Israel. 1 Ma. 13:51
- And he fortified the mountain of the temple that was near the castle, and he dwelt there himself, and they that were with him. 1 Ma. 13:53
- And he provided victuals for the cities, and he appointed that they should be furnished with ammunition, so that the fame of his glory was renowned even to the end of the earth. 1 Ma. 14:10
- And it was heard at Rome, and as far as Sparta, that Jonathan was dead: and they were very sorry. 1 Ma. 14:16
- But when they heard that Simon, his brother, was made high priest in his place, and was possessed of all the country, and the cities therein: 1 Ma. 14:17
- They wrote to him in tables of brass, to renew the friendship and alliance which they had made with Judas and with Jonathan, his brethren. 1 Ma. 14:18
- And they were read before the assembly in Jerusalem. And this is the copy of the letters that the Spartans sent. 1 Ma. 14:19
- These words, they said: What thanks shall we give to Simon, and his sons: 1 Ma. 14:25

- And they wrote a copy thereof to Simon, the high priest, and to the people of the Jews. 1 Ma. 15:24
- And as to thy complaints concerning Joppe and Gazara, they did great harm to the people, and to our country: yet for these we will give a hundred talents. And Athenobius answered him not a word. 1 Ma. 15:35

- But when many years had passed, and it pleased God that Nehemias should be sent by the king of Persia, he sent some of the posterity of those priests that had hid it, to seek for the fire: and as they told us, they found no fire, but thick water. 2 Ma. 1:20

- With these words they were greatly encouraged and disposed even to die for the laws and their country. 2 Ma. 8:21
- And the Almighty being their helper, they slew above nine thousand men: and having wounded and disabled the greater part of Nicanor's army, they obliged them to fly. 2 Ma. 8:24
- And they took the money of them that came to buy them, and they pursued them on every side. 2 Ma. 8:25
- But they came back for want of time: for it was the day before the sabbath: and therefore they did not continue the pursuit. 2 Ma. 8:26
- But when they had gathered together their arms and their spoils, they kept the sabbath: blessing the Lord who had delivered them that day, distilling the beginning of mercy upon them. 2 Ma. 8:27
- Then after the sabbath they divided the spoils to the feeble and the orphans, and the widows, and the rest they took for themselves and their servants. 2 Ma. 8:28
- When this was done, and they had all made a common supplication, they besought the merciful Lord, to be reconciled to his servants unto the end. 2 Ma. 8:29
- Moreover, they slew above twenty thousand of them that were with Timotheus and Bacchides, who fought against them, and they made themselves masters of the high strong holds: and they divided amongst them many spoils, giving equal portions to the feeble, the fatherless, and the widows; yea, and the aged also 2 Ma. 8:30
- And when they had carefully gathered together their arms, they laid them all up in convenient places, and the residue of their spoils they carried to Jerusalem: 2 Ma. 8:31
- They slew also Philarches, who was with Timotheus, a wicked man, who had many ways afflicted the Jews. 2 Ma. 8:32
- And when they kept the feast of the victory at Jerusalem, they burnt Callisthenes, that had set fire to the holy gates, who had taken refuge in a certain house, rendering to him a worthy reward for his impieties: 2 Ma. 8:33
- And he that had promised to levy the tribute for the Romans, by the means of the captives of Jerusalem, now professed that the Jews had God for their protector, and therefore they could not be hurt, because they followed the laws appointed by him. 2 Ma. 8:36
- To the end that if any thing contrary to expectation should fall out, or any bad tidings should be brought, they that were in the countries, knowing to whom the whole government was left, might not be troubled. 2 Ma. 9:24
- ¤ But Machabeus, and they that were with him, by the protection of the Lord, recovered the temple and the city again. 2 Ma. 10:1
- And having purified the temple, they made another altar: and taking fire out of the fiery stones, they offered sacrifices after two years, and set forth incense, and lamps, and the loaves of proposition. 2 Ma. 10:3
- And when they had done these things, they besought the Lord, lying prostrate on the ground, that they might no more fall into such evils; but if they should at any time sin, that they might be chastised by him more gently, and not be delivered up to barbarians and blasphemous men. 2 Ma. 10:4
- And they kept eight days with joy, after the manner of the feast of the tabernacles, remembering that not long before they had kept the feast of the tabernacles when they were in the mountains, and in dens like wild beasts. 2 Ma. 10:6
- Therefore they now carried boughs and green branches and palms, for him that had given them good success in cleansing his place. 2 Ma. 10:7
- And they ordained by a common statute, and decree, that all the nation of the Jews should keep those days every year. 2 Ma. 10:8
- Then they that were with Machabeus, beseeching the Lord by prayers to be their helper, made a strong attack upon the strong holds of the Idumeans: 2 Ma. 10:16
- Now they that were with Simon, being led with covetousness, were persuaded for the sake of money by some that were in the towers: and taking seventy thousand didrachmas, let some of them escape. 2 Ma. 10:20
- But when it was told Machabeus what was done, he assembled the rulers of the people, and accused those men that they had sold their brethren for money, having let their adversaries escape. 2 Ma. 10:21
- But Machabeus, and they that were with him, when he drew near, prayed to the Lord, sprinkling earth upon their heads, and girding their loins with haircloth, 2 Ma. 10:25
- And so after prayer taking their arms, they went forth further from the city, and when they were come very near the enemies they rested. 2 Ma. 10:27
- But when they were in the heat of the engagement, there appeared to the enemies from heaven five men upon horses, comely, with golden bridles, conducting the Jews: 2 Ma. 10:29
- Two of them took Machabeus between them, and covered him on every side with their arms, and kept him safe; but cast darts and fireballs against the enemy, so that they fell down, being both confounded with blindness, and filled with trouble. 2 Ma. 10:30
- Then Machabeus, and they that were with him cheerfully laid siege to the fortress four days. 2 Ma. 10:33
- But they that were within, trusting to the strength of the place, blasphemed exceedingly, and cast forth abominable words. 2 Ma. 10:34
- And having for two days together pillaged and sacked the fortress, they killed Timotheus, who was found hid in a certain place: they slew also his brother Chereas, and Apollophanes. 2 Ma. 10:37
- And when this was done, they blessed the Lord with hymns and thanksgiving, who had done great things in Israel, and given them the victory. 2 Ma. 10:38
- But when Machabeus, and they that were with him, understood that the strong holds were besieged, they and all the people besought the Lord with lamentations and tears, that he would send a good angel to save Israel. 2 Ma. 11:6
- And when they were going forth together with a willing mind, there appeared at Jerusalem a horseman going before them in white clothing, with golden armour, shaking a spear. 2 Ma. 11:8
- Then they all together blessed the merciful Lord, and took great courage: being ready to break through not only men, but also the fiercest beasts, and walls of iron. 2 Ma. 11:9
- So they went on courageously, having a helper from heaven, and the Lord, who shewed mercy to them. 2 Ma. 11:10
- And rushing violently upon the enemy, like lions, they slew of them eleven thousand footmen, and one thousand six hundred horsemen: 2 Ma. 11:11
- And as he was a man of understanding, considering with himself the loss he had suffered, and perceiving that the Hebrews could not be overcome, because they relied upon the help of the Almighty God, he sent to them: 2 Ma. 11:13
- Our father being translated amongst the gods we are desirous that they that are in our realm should live quietly, and apply themselves diligently to their own concerns. 2 Ma. 11:23
- And we have heard that the Jews would not consent to my father to turn to the rites of the Greeks but that they would keep to their own manner of living and therefore that they request us to allow them to live after their own laws. 2 Ma. 11:24
- Wherefore being desirous that this nation also should be at rest, we have ordained and decreed, that the temple should be restored to them, and that they may live according to the custom of their ancestors. 2 Ma. 11:25
- Thou shalt do well, therefore, to send to them, and grant them peace, that our pleasure being known, they may be of good comfort, and look to their own affairs. 2 Ma. 11:26
- But they that were behind, namely Timotheus, and Apollonius, the son of Genneus, also Hieronymus, and Demophon, and besides them Nicanor, the governor of Cyprus, would not suffer them to live in peace, and to be quiet. 2 Ma. 12:2
- The men of Joppe also were guilty of this kind of wickedness: they desired the Jews, who dwelt among them, to go with their wives and children into the boats, which they had prepared, as though they had no enmity to them. 2 Ma. 12:3
- Which when they had consented to, according to the common decree of the city, suspecting nothing, because of the peace: when they were gone forth into the deep, they drowned no fewer than two hundred of them. 2 Ma. 12:4
- And when they were now gone from thence nine furlongs, and were marching towards Timotheus, five thousand footmen, and five hundred horsemen of the Arabians, set upon them. 2 Ma. 12:10
- And after a hard fight, in which, by the help of God, they got the victory, the rest of the Arabians being overcome, besought Judas for peace, promising to give him pastures, and to assist him in other things. 2 Ma. 12:11
- And Judas thinking that they might be profitable indeed in many things, promised them peace, and after having joined hands, they departed to their tents. 2 Ma. 12:12
- But they that were within it, trusting in the strength of the walls, and the provision of victuals, behaved in a more negligent manner, and provoked Judas with railing and blaspheming, and uttering such words as were not to be spoken. 2 Ma. 12:14
- From thence they departed seven hundred and fifty furlongs, and came to Characa, to the Jews that are called Tubianites. 2 Ma. 12:17
- But as for Timotheus, they found him not in those places, for before he had dispatched any thing he went back, having left a very strong garrison in a certain hold: 2 Ma. 12:18
- But when the first band of Judas came in sight, the enemies were struck with fear, by the presence of God, who seeth all things, and they were put to flight one from another, so that they were often thrown down by their own companions, and wounded with the strokes of their own swords. 2 Ma. 12:22
- And when he had given his faith that he would restore them according to the agreement, they let him go without hurt, for the saving of their brethren. 2 Ma. 12:25
- But when they had invocated the Almighty, who with his power breaketh the strength of the enemies, they took the city: and slew five and twenty thousand of them that were within. 2 Ma. 12:28
- From thence they departed to Scythopolis, which lieth six hundred furlongs from Jerusalem. 2 Ma. 12:29
- But the Jews that were among the Scythopolitans testifying that they were used kindly by them, and that even in the times of their adversity they had treated them with humanity: 2 Ma. 12:30
- They gave them thanks, exhorting them to be still friendly to their nation, and so they came to Jerusalem, the feast of the weeks being at hand. 2 Ma. 12:31
- And after Pentecost they marched against Gorgias, the governor of Idumea. 2 Ma. 12:32
- And when they had joined battle, it happened that a few of the Jews were slain. 2 Ma. 12:34
- But when they that were with Esdrin had fought long, and were weary, Judas called upon the Lord to be their helper, and leader of the battle: 2 Ma. 12:36
- So Judas having gathered together his army, came into the city Odollam: and when the seventh day came, they purified themselves according to the custom, and kept the sabbath in the same place. 2 Ma. 12:38
- And they found under the coats of the slain, some of the donaries of the idols of Jamnia, which the law forbiddeth to the Jews: so that all plainly saw, that for this cause they were slain. 2 Ma. 12:40
- Then they all blessed the just judgment of the Lord, who had discovered the things that were hidden. 2 Ma. 12:41
- And so betaking themselves to prayers, they besought him, that the sin which had been committed might be forgotten. But the most valiant Judas exhorted the people to keep themselves from sin, forasmuch as they saw before their eyes what had happened, because of the sins of those that were slain. 2 Ma. 12:42
- (For if he had not hoped that they that were slain should rise again, it would have seemed superfluous and vain to pray for the dead,) 2 Ma. 12:44
- And because he considered that they who had fallen asleep with godliness, had great grace laid up for them. 2 Ma. 12:45
- It is therefore a holy and wholesome thought to pray for the dead, that they may be loosed from sins. 2 Ma. 12:46
- Because they were afraid to be deprived of the law, and of their country, and of the holy temple: and that he would not suffer the people, that had of late taken breath for a little while, to be again in subjection to blasphemous nations. 2 Ma. 13:11
- So when they had all done this together, and had craved mercy of the Lord with weeping and fasting, lying prostrate on the ground for three days continually, Judas exhorted them to make themselves ready. 2 Ma. 13:12
- And having filled the camp of the enemies with exceeding great fear and tumult, they went off with good success. 2 Ma. 13:16
- But when he was come to Ptolemais, the men of that city were much displeased with the conditions of the peace, being angry for fear they should break the covenant. 2 Ma. 13:25
- ¤ But after the space of three years Judas, and they that were with him, understood that Demetrius, the son of Seleucus, was come up with a great power, and a navy by the haven of Tripolis, to places proper for his purpose, 2 Ma. 14:1
- He answered thereunto: They among the Jews that are called Assideans, of whom Judas Machabeus is captain, nourish wars, and raise seditions, and will not suffer the realm to be in peace. 2 Ma. 14:6
- Now when the Jews heard of Nicanor's coming, and that the nations were assembled against them, they cast earth upon their heads, and made supplication to him who chose his people to keep them for ever, and who protected his portion by evident signs. 2 Ma. 14:15
- Then at the commandment of their captain, they forthwith removed from the place where they were, and went to the town of Dessau, to meet them. 2 Ma. 14:16
- Nevertheless Nicanor hearing of the valour of Judas' companions, and the greatness of courage, with which they fought for their country, was afraid to try the matter by the sword. 2 Ma. 14:18
- And when there had been a consultation thereupon, and the captain had acquainted the multitude with it, they were all of one mind to consent to covenants. 2 Ma. 14:20
- So they appointed a day upon which they might commune together by themselves: and seats were brought out, and set for each one. 2 Ma. 14:21
- But Judas ordered armed men to be ready in convenient places, lest some mischief might be suddenly practised by the enemies: so they made an agreeable conference. 2 Ma. 14:22
- And he desired him to marry a wife, and to have children. So he married: he lived quietly, and they lived in common. 2 Ma. 14:25
- But Alcimus seeing the love they had one to another, and the covenants, came to Demetrius, and told him that Nicanor had assented to the foreign interest, for that he meant to make Judas, who was a traitor to the kingdom, his successor. 2 Ma. 14:26
- But when Machabeus perceived that Nicanor was more stern to him, and that when they met together as usual he behaved himself in a rough manner; and was sensible that this rough behaviour came not of good, he gathered together a few of his men, and hid himself from Nicanor. 2 Ma. 14:30
- And when they swore unto him, that they knew not where the man was whom he sought, he stretched out his hand to the temple, 2 Ma. 14:32
- But they quickly making room for his fall, he came upon the midst of the neck. 2 Ma. 14:44
- And when they answered: There is the living Lord himself in heaven, the mighty One, that commanded the seventh day to be kept. 2 Ma. 15:4
- And he exhorted his people not to fear the coming of the nations, but to remember the help they had before received from heaven, and now to hope for victory from the Almighty. 2 Ma. 15:8
- And speaking to them out of the law, and the prophets, and withal putting them in mind of the battles they had fought before, he made them more cheerful: 2 Ma. 15:9
- Thus being exhorted with the words of Judas, which were very good, and proper to stir up the courage, and strengthen the hearts of the young men, they resolved to fight, and to set upon them manfully: that valour might decide the matter, because the holy city, and the temple were in danger. 2 Ma. 15:17
- And they also that were in the city, had no little concern for them that were to be engaged in battle. 2 Ma. 15:19
- That they may be afraid, who come with blasphemy against thy holy people. And thus he concluded his prayer. 2 Ma. 15:24
- But Nicanor, and they that were with him came forward, with trumpets and songs. 2 Ma. 15:25
- But Judas, and they that were with him, encountered them, calling upon God by prayers: 2 Ma. 15:26
- So fighting with their hands, but praying to the Lord with their hearts, they slew no less than five and thirty thousand, being greatly cheered with the presence of God. 2 Ma. 15:27
- And when the battle was over, and they were returning with joy, they understood that Nicanor was slain in his armour. 2 Ma. 15:28
- Then making a shout, and a great noise, they blessed the Almighty Lord in their own language. 2 Ma. 15:29
- And they all ordained by a common decree, by no means to let this day pass without solemnity: 2 Ma. 15:36
- Now the generation of Christ was in this wise. When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child, of the Holy Ghost. Mt. 1:18
- Behold a virgin shall be with child, and bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us. Mt. 1:23

- And they asked him, saying: Why then do the Pharisees and scribes say that Elias must come first? Mk. 9:11

- And presently all the people, seeing Jesus, were astonished and struck with fear: and running to him, they saluted him. Mk. 9:15
- Who, wheresoever he taketh him, dasheth him: and he foameth and gnasheth with the teeth and pineth away. And I spoke to thy disciples to cast him out: and they could not. Mk. 9:18
- And they brought him. And when he had seen him, immediately the spirit troubled him and being thrown down upon the ground, he rolled about foaming. Mk. 9:20

- And they shall mock him and spit on him and scourge him and kill him: and the third day he shall rise again. Mk. 10:34
- And they said: Grant to us that we may sit, one on thy right hand and the other on thy left hand, in thy glory. Mk. 10:37
- But they said to him: We can. And Jesus saith to them: You shall indeed drink of the chalice that I drink of; and with the baptism wherewith I am baptized you shall be baptized. Mk. 10:39
- But Jesus calling them, saith to them: You know that they who seem to rule over the Gentiles lord it over them: and their princes have power over them. Mk. 10:42

- And Jesus, standing still, commanded him to be called. And they call the blind man, saying to him: Be of better comfort. Arise, he calleth thee. Mk. 10:49
- ¤ And when they were drawing near to Jerusalem and to Bethania, at the mount of Olives, he sendeth two of his disciples, Mk. 11:1
- And going their way, they found the colt tied before the gate without, in the meeting of two ways. And they loose him. Mk. 11:4
- Who said to them as Jesus had commanded them. And they let him go with them. Mk. 11:6
- And they brought the colt to Jesus. And they lay their garments on him: and he sat upon him. Mk. 11:7
- And they that went before and they that followed cried, saying: Hosanna: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord. Mk. 11:9

- And when they passed by in the morning they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots. Mk. 11:20
- Therefore I say unto you, all things, whatsoever you ask when ye pray, believe that you shall receive: and they shall come unto you. Mk. 11:24
- And they come again to Jerusalem. And when he was walking in the temple, there come to him the chief priests and the scribes and the ancients. Mk. 11:27
- And they say to him: By what authority dost thou these things? And who hath given thee this authority that thou shouldst do these things? Mk. 11:28
- But they thought with themselves, saying: If we say, From heaven; he will say, Why then did you not believe him? Mk. 11:31
- And they answering, say to Jesus: We know not. And Jesus answering, saith to them: Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things. Mk. 11:33
- And again he sent to them another servant: and him they wounded in the head and used him reproachfully. Mk. 12:4
- And again he sent another, and him they killed: and many others, of whom some they beat, and others they killed. Mk. 12:5
- Therefore, having yet one son, most dear to him, he also sent him unto them last of all, saying: They will reverence my son. Mk. 12:6
- And laying hold on him, they killed him and cast him out of the vineyard. Mk. 12:8
- And they sought to lay hands on him: but they feared the people. For they knew that he spoke this parable to them. And leaving him, they went their way. Mk. 12:12
- And they sent to him some of the Pharisees and of the Herodians: that they should catch him in his words. Mk. 12:13
- And they brought it him. And he saith to them: Whose is this image and inscription? They say to him, Caesar's. Mk. 12:16
- And Jesus answering, said to them: Render therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar's and to God the things that are God's. And they marvelled at him. Mk. 12:17
- And there came to him the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection. And they asked him, saying: Mk. 12:18
- In the resurrection therefore, when they shall rise again, whose wife shall she be of them? For the seven had her to wife. Mk. 12:23
- For when they shall rise again from the dead, they shall neither marry, nor be married, but are as the angels in heaven. Mk. 12:25

- And calling his disciples together, he saith to them: Amen I say to you, this poor widow hath cast in more than all they who have cast into the treasury. Mk. 12:43
- For all they did cast in of their abundance; but she of her want cast in all she had, even her whole living. Mk. 12:44
- For many shall come in my name saying, I am he: and they shall deceive many. Mk. 13:6
- But look to yourselves. For they shall deliver you Up to councils: and in the synagogues you shall be beaten: and you shall stand before governors and kings for my sake, for a testimony unto them. Mk. 13:9
- And when they shall lead you and deliver you up, be not thoughtful beforehand what you shall speak: but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour, that speak ye. For it is not you that speak, but the Holy Ghost. Mk. 13:11
- For there will rise up false Christs and false prophets: and they shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce (if it were possible) even the elect. Mk. 13:22
- And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds, with great power and glory. Mk. 13:26
- ¤ Now the feast of the pasch and of the Azymes was after two days: and the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might by some wile lay hold on him and kill him. Mk. 14:1
- But they said: Not on the festival day, lest there should be a tumult among the people. Mk. 14:2
- For this ointment might have been sold for more than three hundred pence and given to the poor. And they murmured against her. Mk. 14:5

- And when they were at table and eating, Jesus saith: Amen I say to you, one of you that eateth with me shall betray me. Mk. 14:18

- And as he was going down, his servants met him: and they brought word, saying, that his son lived. Jn. 4:51
- He asked therefore of them the hour wherein he grew better. And they said to him: Yesterday at the seventh hour, the fever left him. Jn. 4:52
- They asked him therefore: Who is that man who said to thee: Take up thy bed and walk? Jn. 5:12
- That all men may honour the Son, as they honour the Father. He who honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father who hath sent him. Jn. 5:23

- And they that have done good things shall come forth unto the resurrection of life: but they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of judgment. Jn. 5:29
- Search the scriptures: for you think in them to have life everlasting. And the same are they that give testimony of me. Jn. 5:39

- And when they were filled, he said to his disciples: Gather up the fragments that remain, lest they be lost. Jn. 6:12

- Some therefore of Jerusalem said: Is not this he whom they seek to kill? Jn. 7:25
- And behold, he speaketh openly: and they say nothing to him. Have the rulers known for a truth that this is the Christ? Jn. 7:26
- They sought therefore to apprehend him: and no man laid hands on him, because his hour was not yet come. Jn. 7:30

- Of that multitude therefore, when they had heard these words of his, some said: This is the prophet indeed. Jn. 7:40
- The ministers therefore came to the chief priests and the Pharisees. And they said to them: Why have you not brought him? Jn. 7:45
- They answered and said to him: Art thou also a Galilean? Search the scriptures, and see that out of Galilee a prophet riseth not. Jn. 7:52
- And the scribes and Pharisees bring unto him a woman taken in adultery: and they set her in the midst, Jn. 8:3
- And this they said tempting him, that they might accuse him. But Jesus bowing himself down, wrote with his finger on the ground. Jn. 8:6
- When therefore they continued asking him, he lifted up himself and said to them: He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her. Jn. 8:7
- But they hearing this, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest. And Jesus alone remained, and the woman standing in the midst. Jn. 8:9
- Then Jesus lifting up himself, said to her: Woman, where are they that accused thee? Hath no man condemned thee? Jn. 8:10
- They said therefore to him: Where is thy Father? Jesus answered: Neither me do you know, nor my Father. If you did know me, perhaps you would know my Father also. Jn. 8:19
- They said therefore to him: Who art thou? Jesus said to them: The beginning, who also speak unto you. Jn. 8:25
- And they understood not that he called God his Father. Jn. 8:27
- They answered him: We are the seed of Abraham: and we have never been slaves to any man. How sayest thou: You shall be free? Jn. 8:33
- They answered and said to him: Abraham is our father. Jesus saith to them: If you be the children of Abraham, do the works of Abraham. Jn. 8:39
- You do the works of your father. They said therefore to him: We are not born of fornication: we have one Father, even God. Jn. 8:41
- They took up stones therefore to cast at him. But Jesus hid himself and went out of the temple. Jn. 8:59
- The neighbours, therefore, and they who had seen him before that he was a beggar, said: Is not this he that sat and begged? Jn. 9:8
- They said therefore to him: How were thy eyes opened? Jn. 9:10
- And they said to him: Where is he? He saith: I know not. Jn. 9:12
- They bring him that had been blind to the Pharisees. Jn. 9:13
- They say therefore to the blind man again: What sayest thou of him that hath opened thy eyes? And he said: He is a prophet. Jn. 9:17
- The Jews then did not believe concerning him, that he had been blind and had received his sight, until they called the parents of him that had received his sight, Jn. 9:18
- These things his parents said, because they feared the Jews: for the Jews had already agreed among themselves that if any man should confess him to be Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue. Jn. 9:22
- They therefore called the man again that had been blind and said to him: Give glory to God. We know that this man is a sinner. Jn. 9:24
- They said then to him: What did he to thee? How did he open thy eyes? Jn. 9:26
- They reviled him therefore and said: Be thou his disciple; but we are the disciples of Moses. Jn. 9:28
- They answered and said to him: Thou wast wholly born in sins; and dost thou teach us? And they cast him out. Jn. 9:34
- Jesus heard that they had cast him out. And when he had found him, he said to him: Dost thou believe in the Son of God? Jn. 9:35
- And Jesus said: For judgment I am come into this world: that they who see not may see; and they who see may become blind. Jn. 9:39
- And some of the Pharisees, who were with him, heard: and they said unto him: Are we also blind? Jn. 9:40
- And when he hath let out his own sheep, he goeth before them: and the sheep follow him, because they know his voice. Jn. 10:4
- But a stranger they follow not, but fly from him, because they know not the voice of strangers. Jn. 10:5
- This proverb Jesus spoke to them. But they understood not what he spoke to them. Jn. 10:6
- The thief cometh not, but for to steal and to kill and to destroy. I am come that they may have life and may have it more abundantly. Jn. 10:10
- And other sheep I have that are not of this fold: them also I must bring. And they shall hear my voice: And there shall be one fold and one shepherd. Jn. 10:16
- Jesus answered them: I speak to you, and you believe not: the works that I do in the name of my Father, they give testimony of me. Jn. 10:25
- My sheep hear my voice. And I know them: and they follow me. Jn. 10:27
- And I give them life everlasting: and they shall not perish for ever. And no man shall pluck them out of my hand. Jn. 10:28
- They sought therefore to take him: and he escaped out of their hands. Jn. 10:39
- And many resorted to him: and they said: John indeed did no sign. But all things whatsoever John said of this man were true. Jn. 10:41
- But Jesus spoke of his death: and they thought that he spoke of the repose of sleep. Jn. 11:13
- The Jews therefore, who were with her in the house and comforted her, when they saw Mary, that she rose up speedily and went out, followed her, saying: She goeth to the grave to weep there. Jn. 11:31
- And said: Where have you laid him? They say to him: Lord, come and see. Jn. 11:34
- They took therefore the stone away. And Jesus lifting up his eyes, said: Father, I give thee thanks that thou hast heard me. Jn. 11:41
- And I knew that thou hearest me always: but because of the people who stand about have I said it, that they may believe that thou hast sent me. Jn. 11:42
- From that day therefore they devised to put him to death. Jn. 11:53
- They sought therefore for Jesus; and they discoursed one with another, standing in the temple: What think you that he is not come to the festival day? Jn. 11:56
- And the chief priests and Pharisees had given a commandment that, if any man knew where he was, he should tell, that they might apprehend him. Jn. 11:57
- And they made him a supper there: and Martha served. But Lazarus was one of them that were at table with him. Jn. 12:2
- A great multitude therefore of the Jews knew that he was there; and they came, not for Jesus' sake only, but that they might see Lazarus, whom he had raised from the dead. Jn. 12:9
- And on the next day, a great multitude that was come to the festival day, when they had heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem, Jn. 12:12
- These things his disciples did not know at the first: but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were written of him and that they had done these things to him. Jn. 12:16
- For which reason also the people came to meet him, because they heard that he had done this miracle. Jn. 12:18
- And whereas he had done so many miracles before them, they believed not in him: Jn. 12:37
- Therefore they could not believe, because Isaias said again: Jn. 12:39
- He hath blinded their eyes and hardened their heart, that they should not see with their eyes, nor understand with their heart and be converted: and I should heal them. Jn. 12:40
- However, many of the chief men also believed in him: but because of the Pharisees they did not confess him, that they might not be cast out of the synagogue. Jn. 12:42
- For they loved the glory of men more than the glory of God. Jn. 12:43
- If any one abide not in me, he shall be cast forth as a branch and shall wither: and they shall gather him up and cast him into the fire: and he burneth. Jn. 15:6
- Remember my word that I said to you: The servant is not greater than his master. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you. If they have kept my word, they will keep yours also. Jn. 15:20
- But all these things they will do to you for my name's sake: because they know not him that sent me. Jn. 15:21
- If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not have sin: but now they have no excuse for their sin. Jn. 15:22
- If I had not done among them the works that no other man hath done, they would not have sin: but now they have both seen and hated both me and my Father. Jn. 15:24
- But that the word may be fulfilled which is written in their law: they hated me without cause. Jn. 15:25
- They will put you out of the synagogues: yea, the hour cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doth a service to God. Jn. 16:2
- And these things will they do to you; because they have not known the Father nor me. Jn. 16:3
- Of sin: because they believed not in me. Jn. 16:9
- They said therefore: What is this that he saith, A little while? We know not what he speaketh. Jn. 16:18
- And Jesus knew that they had a mind to ask him. And he said to them: Of this do you inquire among yourselves, because I said: A little while, and you shall not see me; and again a little while, and you shall see me? Jn. 16:19
- Now this is eternal life: That they may know thee, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent. Jn. 17:3
- I have manifested thy name to the men whom thou hast given me out of the world. Thine they were: and to me thou gavest them. And they have kept thy word. Jn. 17:6
- Now they have known that all things which thou hast given me are from thee: Jn. 17:7
- Because the words which thou gavest me, I have given to them. And they have received them and have known in very deed that I came out from thee: and they have believed that thou didst send me. Jn. 17:8
- I pray for them. I pray not for the world, but for them whom thou hast given me: because they are thine. Jn. 17:9
- And now I am not in the world, and these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep them in thy name whom thou hast given me: that they may be one, as we also are. Jn. 17:11
- And now I come to thee: and these things I speak in the world, that they may have my joy filled in themselves. Jn. 17:13
- I have given them thy word, and the world hath hated them: because they are not of the world, as I also am not of the world. Jn. 17:14
- They are not of the world, as I also am not of the world. Jn. 17:16
- And for them do I sanctify myself, that they also may be sanctified in truth. Jn. 17:19
- That they all may be one, as thou, Father, in me, and I in thee; that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. Jn. 17:21
- And the glory which thou hast given me, I have given to them: that, they may be one, as we also are one. Jn. 17:22
- I in them, and thou in me: that they may be made perfect in one: and the world may know that thou hast sent me and hast loved them, as thou hast also loved me. Jn. 17:23
- Father, I will that where I am, they also whom thou hast given me may be with me: that they may see my glory which thou hast given me, because thou hast loved me before the creation of the world. Jn. 17:24
- They answered him: Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus saith to them: I am he. And Judas also, who betrayed him, stood with them. Jn. 18:5
- As soon therefore as he had said to them: I am he; they went backward and fell to the ground. Jn. 18:6
- Again therefore he asked them: Whom seek ye? And they said: Jesus of Nazareth. Jn. 18:7
- And they led him away to Annas first, for he was father-in-law to Caiphas, who was the high priest of that year. Jn. 18:13
- Why askest thou me? Ask them who have heard what I have spoken unto them. Behold they know what things I have said. Jn. 18:21
- And Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. They said therefore to him: Art not thou also one of his disciples? He denied it and said: I am not. Jn. 18:25
- Then they led Jesus from Caiphas to the governor's hall. And it was morning: and they went not into the hall, that they might not be defiled, but that they might eat the pasch. Jn. 18:28
- They answered and said to him: If he were not a malefactor, we would not have delivered him up to thee. Jn. 18:30
- Then cried they all again, saying: Not this man, but Barabbas. Now Barabbas was a robber. Jn. 18:40
- And the soldiers platting a crown of thorns, put it upon his head: and they put on him a purple garment. Jn. 19:2
- And they came to him and said: Hail, king of the Jews. And they gave him blows. Jn. 19:3
- When the chief priests, therefore, and the servants had seen him, they cried out, saying: Crucify him, Crucify him. Pilate saith to them: Take him you, and crucify him: for I find no cause in him. Jn. 19:6
- But they cried out: Away with him: Away with him: Crucify him. Pilate saith to them: shall I crucify your king? The chief priests answered: We have no king but Caesar. Jn. 19:15
- Then therefore he delivered him to them to be crucified. And they took Jesus and led him forth. Jn. 19:16
- Where they crucified him, and with him two others, one on each side, and Jesus in the midst. Jn. 19:18
- The soldiers therefore, when they had crucified him, took his garments, (and they made four parts, to every soldier a part) and also his coat. Now the coat was without seam, woven from the top throughout. Jn. 19:23
- They said then one to another: Let us not cut it but let us cast lots for it, whose it shall be; that the scripture might be fulfilled, saying: They have parted my garments among them, and upon my vesture they have cast lots. And the soldiers indeed did these things. Jn. 19:24
- Now there was a vessel set there, full of vinegar. And they, putting a sponge full of vinegar and hyssop, put it to his mouth. Jn. 19:29
- Then the Jews (because it was the parasceve), that the bodies might not remain upon the cross on the sabbath day (for that was a great sabbath day), besought Pilate that their legs might be broken: and that they might be taken away. Jn. 19:31
- The soldiers therefore came: and they broke the legs of the first, and of the other that was crucified with him. Jn. 19:32
- But after they were come to Jesus, when they saw that he was already dead, they did not break his legs. Jn. 19:33
- And again another scripture saith: They shall look on him whom they pierced. Jn. 19:37
- They took therefore the body of Jesus and bound it in linen cloths, with the spices, as the manner of the Jews is to bury. Jn. 19:40

- And they that weep, as though they wept not: and they that rejoice, as if they rejoiced not: and they that buy as if they possessed not: 1 Cor. 7:30
