And behold, an angel of the Lord from heaven called to him, saying: Abraham, Abraham. And he answered: Here I am. Gen. 22:11
And he said to him: Lay not thy hand upon the boy, neither do thou any thing to him: now I know that thou fearest God, and hast not spared thy only begotten son for my sake. Gen. 22:12

He had not yet ended these words within himself, and behold Rebecca came out, the daughter of Bathuel, son of Melcha, wife to Nachor the brother of Abraham, having a pitcher on her shoulder: Gen. 24:15
And when he had drunk, she said: I will draw water for thy camels also, till they all drink. Gen. 24:19
But he musing, beheld her with silence, desirous to know whether the Lord had made his journey prosperous or not. Gen. 24:21

And bread was set before him. But he said: I will not eat, till I tell my message. He answered him: Speak. Gen. 24:33
And he said: I am the servant of Abraham: Gen. 24:34
And the Lord hath blessed my master wonderfully, and he is become great: and he hath given him sheep and oxen, silver and gold, men servants and women servants, camels and asses. Gen. 24:35
And Sara, my master's wife, hath borne my master a son in her old age, and he hath given him all that he had. Gen. 24:36
The Lord, said he, in whose sight I walk, will send his angel with thee, and will direct thy way: and thou shalt take a wife for my son of my own kindred, and of my father's house. Gen. 24:40
Which when Abraham's servant heard, falling down to the ground, he adored the Lord. Gen. 24:52
And bringing forth vessels of silver and gold, and garments, he gave them to Rebecca, for a present. He offered gifts also to her brothers, and to her mother. Gen. 24:53
Stay me not, said he, because the Lord hath prospered my way: send me away, that I may go to my master. Gen. 24:56
At the same time, Isaac was walking along the way to the well which is called Of the living and the seeing: for he dwelt in the south country: Gen. 24:62
And he was gone forth to meditate in the field, the day being now well spent: and when he had lifted up his eyes, he saw camels coming afar off. Gen. 24:63
And said to the servant: Who is that man who cometh towards us along the field? And he said to her: That man is my master. But she quickly took her cloak, and covered herself. Gen. 24:65
And the servant told Isaac all that he had done. Gen. 24:66
Who brought her into the tent of Sara his mother, and took her to wife: and he loved her so much, that it moderated the sorrow which was occasioned by his mother's death. Gen. 24:67
And to the children of the concubines he gave gifts, and separated them from Isaac his son, while he yet lived, to the east country. Gen. 25:6
And decaying he died in a good old age, and having lived a long time, and being full of days: and was gathered to his people. Gen. 25:8
Which he had bought of the children of Heth: there was he buried, and Sara his wife. Gen. 25:10
And the years of Ismael's life were a hundred and thirty-seven, and decaying he died, and was gathered unto his people. Gen. 25:17
And he dwelt from Hevila as far as Sur, which looketh towards Egypt, to them that go towards the Assyrians. He died in the presence of all his brethren. Gen. 25:18
Who when he was forty years old, took to wife Rebecca the daughter of Bathuel the Syrian of Mesopotamia, sister to Laban. Gen. 25:20
And Isaac besought the Lord for his wife, because she was barren: and he heard him, and made Rebecca to conceive. Gen. 25:21
And he answering, said: Two nations are in thy womb, and two peoples shall be divided out of thy womb, and one people shall overcome the other, and the elder shall serve the younger. Gen. 25:23
He that came forth first was red, and hairy like a skin: and his name was called Esau. Immediately the other coming forth, held his brother's foot in his hand: and therefore he was called Jacob. Gen. 25:25
Isaac loved Esau, because he ate of his hunting: and Rebecca loved Jacob. Gen. 25:28
He answered: Lo I die, what will the first birthright avail me? Gen. 25:32
And so taking bread and the pottage of lentils, he ate, and drank, and went his way; making little account of having sold his first birthright. Gen. 25:34
And when he was asked by the men of that place, concerning his wife, he answered: She is my sister: for he was afraid to confess that she was his wife, thinking lest perhaps they would kill him because of her beauty. Gen. 26:7
And when very many days were passed, and he abode there, Abimelech, king of the Palestines, looking out through a window, saw him playing with Rebecca, his wife. Gen. 26:8
And calling for him, he said: It is evident she is thy wife: why didst thou feign her to be thy sister? He answered: I feared lest I should die for her sake. Gen. 26:9
And Abimelech said: Why hast thou deceived us? Some man of the people might have lain with thy wife, and thou hadst brought upon us a great sin. And he commanded all the people, saying: Gen. 26:10
He that shall touch this man's wife, shall surely be put to death. Gen. 26:11
And Isaac sowed in that land, and he found that same year a hundredfold: and the Lord blessed him. Gen. 26:12
And the man was enriched, and he went on prospering and increasing, till he became exceeding great. Gen. 26:13
And he had possessions of sheep and of herds, and a very great family. Wherefore the Palestines envying him, Gen. 26:14
So he departed, and came to the torrent of Gerara, to dwell there: Gen. 26:17
And he digged again other wells, which the servants of his father, Abraham, had digged, and which, after his death, the Philistines had of old stopped up: and he called them by the same names, by which his father before had called them. Gen. 26:18
But there also the herdsmen of Gerara strove against the herdsmen of Isaac, saying: It is our water. Wherefore he called the name of the well, on occasion of that which had happened, Calumny. Gen. 26:20
And they digged also another; and for that they quarrelled likewise, and he called the name of it, Enmity. Gen. 26:21
Going forward from thence, he digged another well, for which they contended not; therefore he called the name thereof, Latitude, saying: Now hath the Lord given us room, and made us to increase upon the earth. Gen. 26:22
And he went up from that place to Bersabee, Gen. 26:23
And he built there an altar: and called upon the name of the Lord, and pitched his tent; and commanded his servants to dig a well. Gen. 26:25
And he made them a feast, and after they had eaten and drunk: Gen. 26:30
Whereupon he called it Abundance: and the name of the city was called Bersabee, even to this day. Gen. 26:33
¤ Now Isaac was old, and his eyes were dim, and he could not see: and he called Esau, his elder son, and said to him: My son? And he answered: Here I am. Gen. 27:1
And when Rebecca had heard this, and he was gone into the field to fulfil his father's commandment, Gen. 27:5
And go thy way to the flock, bring me two kids of the best, that I may make of them meat for thy father, such as he gladly eateth. Gen. 27:9
Which when thou hast brought in, and he hath eaten, he may bless thee before he die. Gen. 27:10
And he answered her: Thou knowest that Esau, my brother, is a hairy man, and I am smooth: Gen. 27:11
If my father should feel me, and perceive it, I fear lest he will think I would have mocked him, and I shall bring upon me a curse instead of a blessing. Gen. 27:12
He went, and brought, and gave them to his mother. She dressed meats, such as she knew his father liked. Gen. 27:14
Which when he had carried in, he said: My father? But he answered: I hear. Who art thou, my son? Gen. 27:18
And Isaac said to his son: How couldst thou find it so quickly, my son? He answered: It was the will of God, that what I sought came quickly in my way: Gen. 27:20
He came near to his father, and when he had felt him, Isaac said: The voice indeed is the voice of Jacob; but the hands, are the hands of Esau. Gen. 27:22
And he knew him not, because his hairy hands made him like to the elder. Then blessing him, Gen. 27:23
He said: Art thou my son Esau? He answered: I am. Gen. 27:24
Then he said: Bring me the meats of thy hunting, my son, that my soul may bless thee. And when they were brought, and he had eaten, he offered him wine also, which after he had drunk, Gen. 27:25
He said to him: Come near me, and give me a kiss, my son. Gen. 27:26
He came near, and kissed him. And immediately as he smelled the fragrant smell of his garments, blessing him, he said: Behold, the smell of my son is as the smell of a plentiful field, which the Lord hath blessed. Gen. 27:27
And let peoples serve thee, and tribes worship thee: be thou lord of thy brethren, and let thy mother's children bow down before thee. Cursed be he that curseth thee: and let him that blesseth thee be filled with blessings. Gen. 27:29
And brought in to his father meats, made of what he had taken in hunting, saying: Arise, my father, and eat of thy son's venison; that thy soul may bless me. Gen. 27:31
And Isaac said to him: Why! who art thou? He answered: I am thy firstborn son, Esau. Gen. 27:32
Isaac was struck with fear, and astonished exceedingly; and wondering beyond what can be believed, said: Who is he then that even now brought me venison that he had taken, and I ate of all before thou camest? and I have blessed him, and he shall be blessed. Gen. 27:33
And he said: Thy brother came deceitfully and got thy blessing. Gen. 27:35
But he said again: Rightly is his name called Jacob; for he hath supplanted me lo this second time: My birthright he took away before, and now this second time he hath stolen away my blessing. And again he said to his father: Hast thou not reserved me also a blessing? Gen. 27:36
And Esau said to him: Hast thou only one blessing, father? I beseech thee bless me also. And when he wept with a loud cry, Gen. 27:38
Esau therefore always hated Jacob, for the blessing wherewith his father had blessed him; and he said in his heart: The days will come of the mourning for my father, and I will kill my brother Jacob. Gen. 27:41
And his indignation cease, and he forget the things thou hast done to him: afterwards I will send, and bring thee from thence hither. Why shall I be deprived of both my sons in one day? Gen. 27:45
And give the blessings of Abraham to thee, and to thy seed after thee: that thou mayst possess the land of thy sojournment, which he promised to thy grandfather. Gen. 28:4
And when Isaac had sent him away, he took his journey and went to Mesopotamia of Syria, to Laban, the son of Bathuel, the Syrian, brother to Rebecca, his mother. Gen. 28:5
And Esau seeing that his father had blessed Jacob, and had sent him into Mesopotamia of Syria, to marry a wife thence; and that after the blessing he had charged him, saying: Thou shalt not take a wife of the daughters of Chanaan: Gen. 28:6
He went to Ismael, and took to wife, besides them he had before, Maheleth, the daughter of Ismael, Abraham's son, the sister of Nabajoth. Gen. 28:9
And when he was come to a certain place, and would rest in it after sunset, he took of the stones that lay there, and putting under his head, slept in the same place. Gen. 28:11
And he saw in his sleep a ladder standing upon the earth, and the top thereof touching heaven: the angels also of God ascending and descending by it. Gen. 28:12
And when Jacob awaked out of sleep, he said: Indeed the Lord is in this place, and I knew it not. Gen. 28:16
And trembling, he said: How terrible is this place? this is no other but the house of God, and the gate of heaven. Gen. 28:17
And Jacob arising in the morning, took the stone which he had laid under his head, and set it up for a title, pouring oil upon the top of it. Gen. 28:18
And he called the name of the city Bethel, which before was called Luza. Gen. 28:19
And he made a vow, saying: If God shall be with me, and shall keep me in the way, by which I walk, and shall give me bread to eat, and raiment to put on, Gen. 28:20
And he saw a well in the field, and three flocks of sheep lying by it: for the beasts were watered out of it, and the mouth thereof was closed with a great stone. Gen. 29:2
And he said to the shepherds: Brethren, whence are you? They answered: Of Haran. Gen. 29:4
And he asked them, saying: Know you Laban, the son of Nachor? They said: We know him. Gen. 29:5
He said: Is he in health? He is in health, say they: and behold, Rachel, his daughter, cometh with his flock. Gen. 29:6
And when Jacob saw her, and knew her to be his cousin german, and that they were the sheep of Laban, his uncle: he removed the stone wherewith the well was closed. Gen. 29:10
And having watered the flock, he kissed her: and lifting up his voice wept. Gen. 29:11
And he told her that he was her father's brother, and the son of Rebecca: but she went in haste and told her father. Gen. 29:12
Who, when he heard that Jacob his sister's son was come, ran forth to meet him: and embracing him, and heartily kissing him, brought him into his house. And when he had heard the causes of his journey, Gen. 29:13
He answered: Thou art my bone and my flesh. And after the days of one month were expired, Gen. 29:14
He said to him: Because thou art my brother, shalt thou serve me without wages? Tell me what wages thou wilt have. Gen. 29:15
Now he had two daughters, the name of the elder was Lia; and the younger was called Rachel. Gen. 29:16
And he said to Laban: Give me my wife; for now the time is fulfilled, that I may go in unto her. Gen. 29:21
And he, having invited a great number of his friends to the feast, made the marriage. Gen. 29:22
And at night he brought in Lia, his daughter, to him, Gen. 29:23
Giving his daughter a handmaid, named Zelpha. Now when Jacob had gone in to her according to custom, when morning was come he saw it was Lia. Gen. 29:24
And he said to his father-in-law: What is it that thou didst mean to do? did not I serve thee for Rachel? why hast thou deceived me? Gen. 29:25
He yielded to his pleasure: and after the week was past, he married Rachel: Gen. 29:28
And having at length obtained the marriage he wished for, he preferred the love of the latter before the former, and served with him other seven years. Gen. 29:30
And the Lord seeing that he despised Lia, opened her womb, but her sister remained barren. Gen. 29:31
And again she conceived and bore a son, and said: Because the Lord heard that I was despised, he hath given this also to me: and she called his name Simeon. Gen. 29:33
And Ruben going out in the time of the wheat harvest into the field, found mandrakes: which he brought to his mother Lia. And Rachel said: Give me part of thy son's mandrakes. Gen. 30:14
She answered: Dost thou think it a small matter, that thou hast taken my husband from me, unless thou take also my son's mandrakes? Rachel said: He shall sleep with thee this night, for thy son's mandrakes. Gen. 30:15
And when Jacob returned at even from the field, Lia went out to meet him, and said: Thou shalt come in unto me, because I have hired thee for my son's mandrakes. And he slept with her that night. Gen. 30:16
But he answered: Thou knowest how I have served thee, and how great thy possession hath been in my hands. Gen. 30:29
And Laban said: What shall I give thee? But he said: I require nothing; but if thou wilt do what I demand, I will feed and keep thy sheep again. Gen. 30:31
And he separated the same day the she-goats, and the sheep, and the he-goats, and the rams of divers colours, and spotted; and all the flock of one colour, that is, of white and black fleece, he delivered into the hands of his sons. Gen. 30:35
And he set the space of three days' journey betwixt himself and his son-in-law, who fed the rest of his flock. Gen. 30:36
And he put them in the troughs, where the water was poured out; that when the flocks should come to drink, they might have the rods before their eyes, and in the sight of them might conceive. Gen. 30:38
But when the later coming was, and the last conceiving, he did not put them. And those that were lateward, became Laban's; and they of the first time, Jacob's. Gen. 30:42
And the man was enriched exceedingly, and he had many flocks, maid-servants and men-servants, camels and asses. Gen. 30:43
¤ But after that he had heard the words of the sons of Laban, saying: Jacob hath taken away all that was our father's, and being enriched by his substance is become great. Gen. 31:1
He sent, and called Rachel and Lia into the field, where he fed the flocks, Gen. 31:4
If at any time, he said: The speckled shall be thy wages: all the sheep brought forth speckled: but when he said on the contrary: Thou shalt take all the white ones for thy wages: all the flocks brought forth white ones. Gen. 31:8
And he said: Lift up thy eyes, and see that all the males leaping upon the females, are of divers colours, spotted and speckled. For I have seen all that Laban hath done to thee. Gen. 31:12
Hath he not counted us as strangers, and sold us, and eaten up the price of us? Gen. 31:15
And he took all his substance, and flocks, and whatsoever he had gotten in Mesopotamia, and went forward to Isaac, his father, to the land of Chanaan. Gen. 31:18
And Jacob would not confess to his father-in-law that he was flying away. Gen. 31:20
And when he was gone, together with all that belonged to him, and having passed the river, was going on towards mount Galaad, Gen. 31:21
And he took his brethren with him, and pursued after him seven days; and overtook him in the mount of Galaad. Gen. 31:23
And he saw in a dream God, saying to him: Take heed thou speak not any thing harshly against Jacob. Gen. 31:24
Now Jacob had pitched his tent in the mountain: and when he, with his brethren, had overtaken him, he pitched his tent in the same mount of Galaad. Gen. 31:25
And he said to Jacob: Why hast thou done thus, to carry away, without my knowledge, my daughters as captives taken with the sword? Gen. 31:26
But, whereas, thou chargest me with theft: with whomsoever thou shalt find thy gods, let him be slain before our brethren. Search, and if thou find any of thy things with me, take them away. Now when he said this, he knew not that Rachel had stolen the idols. Gen. 31:32
So Laban went into the tent of Jacob, and of Lia, and of both the handmaids, and found them not. And when he was entered into Rachel's tent, Gen. 31:33
She, in haste, hid the idols under the camel's furniture, and sat upon them: and when he had searched all the tent, and found nothing, Gen. 31:34
And he said to his brethren: Bring hither stones. And they, gathering stones together, made a heap, and they ate upon it. Gen. 31:46
And he said again to Jacob: Behold this heap, and the stone which I have set up between me and thee, Gen. 31:51
And after he had offered sacrifices in the mountain, he called his brethren to eat bread. And when they had eaten, they lodged there: Gen. 31:54
¤ Jacob also went on the journey he had begun: and the angels of God met him. Gen. 32:1
And when he saw them, he said: These are the camps of God, and he called the name of that place Mahanaim, that is, Camps. Gen. 32:2
And he sent messengers before him to Esau, his brother, to the land of Seir, to the country of Edom: Gen. 32:3
And he commanded them, saying: Thus shall ye speak to my lord Esau: Thus saith thy brother Jacob: I have sojourned with Laban, and have been with him until this day: Gen. 32:4
And the messengers returned to Jacob, saying: We came to Esau, thy brother, and behold he cometh with speed to meet thee with four hundred men. Gen. 32:6
Deliver me from the hand of my brother Esau, for I am greatly afraid of him; lest perhaps he come, and kill the mother with the children. Gen. 32:11
And when he had slept there that night, he set apart, of the things which he had, presents for his brother Esau, Gen. 32:13
And he sent them by the hands of his servants, every drove by itself, and he said to his servants: Go before me, and let there be a space between drove and drove. Gen. 32:16
And he commanded the first, saying: If thou meet my brother Esau, and he ask thee: Whose art thou? or whither goest thou? or whose are these before thee? Gen. 32:17
Thou shalt answer: Thy servant Jacob's: he hath sent them as a present to my lord Esau; and he cometh after us. Gen. 32:18
In like manner he commanded the second, and the third, and all that followed the droves, saying: Speak ye the same words to Esau, when ye find him. Gen. 32:19
And ye shall add: Thy servant Jacob himself also followeth after us; for he said: I will appease him with the presents that go before, and afterwards I will see him, perhaps he will be gracious to me. Gen. 32:20
And rising early, he took his two wives and his two handmaids, with his eleven sons, and passed over the ford of Jaboc. Gen. 32:22
He remained alone; and behold, a man wrestled with him till morning. Gen. 32:24
And when he saw that he could not overcome him, he touched the sinew of his thigh, and forthwith it shrank. Gen. 32:25
And he said to him: Let me go, for it is break of day. He answered: I will not let thee go, except thou bless me. Gen. 32:26
And he said: What is thy name? He answered: Jacob. Gen. 32:27
But he said: Thy name shall not be called Jacob, but Israel; for if thou hast been strong against God, how much more shalt thou prevail against men? Gen. 32:28
Jacob asked him: Tell me by what name art thou called? He answered: Why dost thou ask my name? And he blessed him in the same place. Gen. 32:29
And immediately the sun rose upon him, after he was past Phanuel; but he halted on his foot. Gen. 32:31
Therefore the children of Israel, unto this day, eat not the sinew, that shrank in Jacob's thigh: because he touched the sinew of his thigh and it shrank. Gen. 32:32
¤ And Jacob lifting up his eyes, saw Esau coming, and with him four hundred men: and he divided the children of Lia and of Rachel, and of the two handmaids. Gen. 33:1
And he put both the handmaids and their children foremost: and Lia and her children in the second place: and Rachel and Joseph last. Gen. 33:2
And he went forward and bowed down with his face to the ground seven times, until his brother came near. Gen. 33:3
And lifting up his eyes, he saw the women and their children, and said: What mean these? And do they belong to thee? He answered: They are the children which God hath given to me, thy servant. Gen. 33:5
And Esau said: What are the droves that I met? He answered: That I might find favour before my lord. Gen. 33:8
But he said: I have plenty, my brother, keep what is thine for thyself. Gen. 33:9
And take the blessing which I have brought thee, and which God hath given me, who giveth all things. He took it with much ado at his brother's earnest pressing him, Gen. 33:11
Esau answered: I beseech thee, that some of the people, at least, who are with me, may stay to accompany thee in the way. And he said: There is no necessity: I want nothing else but only to find favour, my lord, in thy sight. Gen. 33:15
So Esau returned that day, the way that he came, to Seir. Gen. 33:16
And Jacob came to Socoth: where having built a house, and pitched tents, he called the name of the place Socoth, that is, Tents. Gen. 33:17
And he passed over to Salem, a city of the Sichemites, which is in the land of Chanaan, after he returned from Mesopotamia of Syria: and he dwelt by the town. Gen. 33:18
And he bought that part of the field, in which he pitched his tents, of the children of Hemor, the father of Sichem, for a hundred lambs. Gen. 33:19
And raising an altar there, he invoked upon it the most mighty God of Israel. Gen. 33:20
And when Sichem the son of Hemor the Hevite, the prince of that land, saw her, he was in love with her: and took her away, and lay with her, ravishing the virgin. Gen. 34:2
And his soul was fast knit unto her; and whereas she was sad, he comforted her with sweet words. Gen. 34:3
And going to Hemor his father, he said: Get me this damsel to wife. Gen. 34:4
But when Jacob had heard this, his sons being absent, and employed in feeding the cattle, he held his peace till they came back. Gen. 34:5
Behold his sons came from the field: and hearing what had passed, they were exceeding angry, because he had done a foul thing in Israel, and committed an unlawful act, in ravishing Jacob's daughter. Gen. 34:7
And the young man made no delay, but forthwith fulfilled what was required: for he loved the damsel exceedingly, and he was the greatest man in all his father's house. Gen. 34:19
So they gave him all the strange gods they had, and the earrings which were in their ears: and he buried them under the turpentine tree, that is behind the city of Sichem. Gen. 35:4
And Jacob came to Luza, which is in the land of Chanaan, surnamed Bethel: he and all the people that were with him. Gen. 35:6
And he built there an altar, and called the name of that place, The house of God: for there God appeared to him when he fled from his brother. Gen. 35:7
And God appeared again to Jacob, after he returned from Mesopotamia of Syria, and he blessed him, Gen. 35:9
Saying: Thou shalt not be called any more Jacob, but Israel shall be thy name. And he called him Israel. Gen. 35:10
And he departed from him. Gen. 35:13
But he set up a monument of stone, in the place where God had spoken to him: pouring drink-offerings upon it, and pouring oil thereon: Gen. 35:14
And going forth from thence, he came in the spring time to the land which leadeth to Ephrata: wherein when Rachel was in travail, Gen. 35:16
Departing thence, he pitched his tent beyond the Flock tower. Gen. 35:21
And when he dwelt in that country, Ruben went, and slept with Bala the concubine of his father: which he was not ignorant of. Now the sons of Jacob were twelve. Gen. 35:22
And he came to Isaac his father in Mambre, the city of Arbee, this is Hebron: wherein Abraham and Isaac sojourned. Gen. 35:27
And being spent with age he died, and was gathered to his people, being old and full of days: and his sons Esau and Jacob buried him. Gen. 35:29
And Esau took his wives, and his sons and daughters, and every soul of his house, and his substance, and cattle, and all that he was able to acquire in the land of Chanaan: and went into another country, and departed from his brother Jacob. Gen. 36:6
And Esau dwelt in mount Seir: he is Edom. Gen. 36:8
And these the sons of Sebeon: Aia and Ana. This is Ana that found the hot waters in the wilderness, when he fed the asses of Sebeon, his father: Gen. 36:24
And he had a son Dison, and a daughter Oolibama. Gen. 36:25
And he being dead, Saul, of the river Rohoboth, reigned in his stead. Gen. 36:37
And when he also was dead, Balanan, the son of Achobor, succeeded to the kingdom. Gen. 36:38
And these are his generations: Joseph, when he was sixteen years old, was feeding the flock with his brethren, being but a boy: and he was with the sons of Bala and of Zelpha his father's wives: and he accused his brethren to his father of a most wicked crime. Gen. 37:2
Now Israel loved Joseph above all his sons, because he had him in his old age: and he made him a coat of divers colours. Gen. 37:3
And his brethren seeing that he was loved by his father, more than all his sons, hated him, and could not speak peaceably to him. Gen. 37:4
Now it fell out also that he told his brethren a dream, that he had dreamed: which occasioned them to hate him the more. Gen. 37:5
And he said to them: Hear my dream which I dreamed. Gen. 37:6
He dreamed also another dream, which he told his brethren, saying: I saw in a dream, as it were the sun, and the moon, and eleven stars worshipping me. Gen. 37:9
And when he had told this to his father, and brethren, his father rebuked him and said: What meaneth this dream that thou hast dreamed? shall I and thy mother, and thy brethren worship thee upon the earth? Gen. 37:10
Israel said to him: Thy brethren feed the sheep in Sichem: come, I will send thee to them. And when he answered: Gen. 37:13
I am ready: he said to him: Go, and see if all things be well with thy brethren, and the cattle: and bring me word again what is doing. So being sent from the vale of Hebron, he came to Sichem: Gen. 37:14
And a man found him there wandering in the field, and asked what he sought. Gen. 37:15
But he answered: I seek my brethren, tell me where they feed the flocks. Gen. 37:16
And when they saw him afar off, before he came nigh them, they thought to kill him: Gen. 37:18
Do not take away his life, nor shed his blood: but cast him into this pit, that is in the wilderness, and keep your hands harmless: now he said this, being desirous to deliver him out of their hands and to restore him to his father. Gen. 37:22
And as soon as he came to his brethren, they forthwith stript him of his outside coat, that was of divers colours: Gen. 37:23
It is better that he be sold to the Ismaelites, and that our hands be not defiled: for he is our brother and our flesh. His brethren agreed to his words. Gen. 37:27
And rending his garments he went to his brethren, and said: The boy doth not appear, and whither shall I go? Gen. 37:30
And tearing his garments, he put on sackcloth, mourning for his son a long time. Gen. 37:34
And all his children being gathered together to comfort their father in his sorrow, he would not receive comfort, but said: I will go down to my son into hell, mourning. And whilst he continued weeping, Gen. 37:35
And he saw there the daughter of a man of Chanaan, called Sue: and taking her to wife, he went in unto her. Gen. 38:2
He knowing that the children should not be his, when he went in to his brother's wife, spilled his seed upon the ground, lest children should be born in his brother's name. Gen. 38:9
And therefore the Lord slew him, because he did a detestable thing: Gen. 38:10
Wherefore Juda said to Thamar his daughter-in-law: Remain a widow in thy father's house, till Sela my son grow up: for he was afraid lest he also might die, as his brethren did. She went her way, and dwelt in her father's house. Gen. 38:11
And after many days were past: the daughter of Sue the wife of Juda died: and when he had taken comfort after his mourning, he went up to Thamnas, to the shearers of his sheep, he and Hiras the Odollamite, the shepherd of his flock. Gen. 38:12
When Juda saw her, he thought she was a harlot: for she had covered her face, lest she should be known. Gen. 38:15
And going to her, he said: Suffer me to lie with thee: for he knew her not to be his daughter-in-law. And she answered: What wilt thou give me to enjoy my company? Gen. 38:16
He said: I will send thee a kid out of the flock. And when she said again: I will suffer what thou wilt, if thou give me a pledge, till thou send what thou promisest. Gen. 38:17
And Juda sent a kid by his shepherd, the Odollamite, that he might receive the pledge again, which he had given to the woman: but he, not finding her, Gen. 38:20
He returned to Juda, and said to him: I have not found her; moreover, the men of that place said to me, that there never sat a harlot there. Gen. 38:22
But he acknowledging the gifts, said: She is juster than I: because I did not give her to Sela, my son. However he knew her no more. Gen. 38:26
But he drawing back his hand, the other came forth: and the woman said: Why is the partition divided for thee? and therefore called his name Phares. Gen. 38:29
¤ And Joseph was brought into Egypt, and Putiphar, an eunuch of Pharao, chief captain of the army, an Egyptian, bought him of the Ismaelites, by whom he was brought. Gen. 39:1
And the Lord was with him, and he was a prosperous man in all things: and he dwelt in his master's house: Gen. 39:2
Who knew very well that the Lord was with him, and made all that he did to prosper in his hand. Gen. 39:3
And Joseph found favour in the sight of his master, and ministered to him: and being set over all by him, he governed the house committed to him, and all things that were delivered to him: Gen. 39:4
Neither knew he any other thing, but the bread which he ate. And Joseph was of a beautiful countenance, and comely to behold. Gen. 39:6
But he in no wise consenting to that wicked act said to her: Behold, my master hath delivered all things to me, and knoweth not what he hath in his own house: Gen. 39:8
Neither is there any thing which is not in my power, or that he hath not delivered to me, but thee, who art his wife; how then can I do this wicked thing, and sin against my God? Gen. 39:9
With such words as these day by day, both the woman was importunate with the young man, and he refused the adultery. Gen. 39:10
And she catching the skirt of his garment, said: Lie with me. But he leaving the garment in her hand, fled, and went out. Gen. 39:12
She called to her the men of her house, and said to them: See, he hath brought in a Hebrew, to abuse us: he came in to me, to lie with me; and when I cried out, Gen. 39:14
And he heard my voice, he left the garment that I held, and got him out. Gen. 39:15
For a proof therefore of her fidelity, she kept the garment, and shewed it to her husband when he returned home: Gen. 39:16
And when he heard me cry, he left the garment which I held, and fled out. Gen. 39:18
And cast Joseph into the prison, where the king's prisoners were kept, and he was there shut up. Gen. 39:20
Neither did he himself know any thing, having committed all things to him: for the Lord was with him, and made all that he did to prosper. Gen. 39:23
He sent them to the prison of the commander of the soldiers, in which Joseph also was prisoner. Gen. 40:3
But the keeper of the prison delivered them to Joseph, and he served them. Some little time passed, and they were kept in custody. Gen. 40:4
He asked them, saying: Why is your countenance sadder today than usual? Gen. 40:7
The chief baker seeing that he had wisely interpreted the dream, said: I also dreamed a dream, That I had three baskets of meal upon my head: Gen. 40:16
The third day after this was the birthday of Pharao: and he made a great feast for his servants, and at the banquet remembered the chief butler, and the chief baker. Gen. 40:20
And he restored the one to his place, to present him the cup: Gen. 40:21
The other he hanged on a gibbet, that the truth of the interpreter might be shewn. Gen. 40:22
¤ After two years Pharao had a dream. He thought he stood by the river, Gen. 41:1
He slept again, and dreamed another dream: Seven ears of corn came up upon one stalk full and fair: Gen. 41:5
And when morning was come, being struck with fear, he sent to all the interpreters of Egypt, and to all the wise men: and they being called for, he told them his dream, and there was not any one that could interpret it. Gen. 41:8
And we heard what afterwards the event of the thing proved to be so. For I was restored to my office: and he was hanged upon a gibbet. Gen. 41:13
And he said to him: I have dreamed dreams, and there is no one that can expound them: Now I have heard that thou art very wise at interpreting them: Gen. 41:15
So Pharao told what he had dreamed: Methought I stood upon the bank of the river, Gen. 41:17
Joseph answered: The king's dream is one: God hath shewn to Pharao what he is about to do. Gen. 41:25
That he may appoint overseers over all the countries: and gather into barns the fifth part of the fruits, during the seven fruitful years, Gen. 41:34
And he said to them: Can we find such another man, that is full of the spirit of God? Gen. 41:38
He said therefore to Joseph: Seeing God hath shewn thee all that thou hast said, can I find one wiser and one like unto thee? Gen. 41:39
And he took his ring from his own hand, and gave it into his hand: and he put upon him a robe of silk, and put a chain of gold about his neck. Gen. 41:42
And he made him go up into his second chariot, the crier proclaiming that all should bow their knee before him, and that they should know he was made governor over the whole land of Egypt. Gen. 41:43
And he turned his name, and called him in the Egyptian tongue the saviour of the world. And he gave him to wife Aseneth, the daughter of Putiphare, priest of Heliopolis. Then Joseph went out to the land of Egypt. Gen. 41:45
(Now he was thirty years old when he stood before king Pharao), and he went round all the countries of Egypt. Gen. 41:46
And he called the name of the firstborn Manasses, saying: God hath made me to forget all my labours, and my father's house. Gen. 41:51
And he named the second Ephraim, saying: God hath made me to grow in the land of my poverty. Gen. 41:52
And when there also they began to be famished, the people cried to Pharao, for food. And he said to them: Go to Joseph: and do all that he shall say to you. Gen. 41:55
Whilst Benjamin was kept at home by Jacob, who said to his brethren: Lest perhaps he take any harm in the journey. Gen. 42:4
And he knew them, he spoke as it were to strangers, somewhat roughly, asking them: Whence came you? They answered: From the land of Chanaan, to buy necessaries of life. Gen. 42:7
And though he knew his brethren, he was not known by them. Gen. 42:8
And remembering the dreams, which formerly he had dreamed, he said to them: You are spies. You are come to view the weaker parts of the land. Gen. 42:9
And he answered them: It is otherwise: you are come to consider the unfenced parts of this land. Gen. 42:12
He saith, This is it that I said: You are spies. Gen. 42:14
So he put them in prison three days. Gen. 42:17
And the third day he brought them out of prison, and said: Do as I have said, and you shall live: for I fear God. Gen. 42:18
And bring your youngest brother to me, that I may find your words to be true, and you may not die. They did as he had said. Gen. 42:20
And they talked one to another: We deserve to suffer these things, because we have sinned against our brother, seeing the anguish of his soul, when he besought us, and we would not hear: therefore is this affliction come upon us. Gen. 42:21
And they knew not that Joseph understood, because he spoke to them by an interpreter. Gen. 42:23
And he turned himself away a little while, and wept: and returning, he spoke to them. Gen. 42:24
And taking Simeon, and binding him in their presence, he commanded his servants to fill their sacks with wheat, and to put every man's money again in their sacks, and to give them besides provisions for the way: and they did so. Gen. 42:25
And he said to us: Hereby shall I know that you are peaceable men: Leave one of your brethren with me, and take ye necessary provision for your houses, and go your ways, Gen. 42:33
But he said: My son shall not go down with you: his brother is dead, and he is left alone: if any mischief befall him in the land to which you go, you will bring down my grey hairs with sorrow to hell. Gen. 42:38
But they answered: The man asked us in order concerning our kindred: if our father lived: if we had a brother: and we answered him regularly, according to what he demanded: could we know that he would say: Bring hither your brother with you? Gen. 43:7
And may my almighty God make him favourable to you: and send back with you your brother, whom he keepeth, and this Benjamin: and as for me I shall be desolate without children. Gen. 43:14
And when he had seen them, and Benjamin with them, he commanded the steward of his house, saying: Bring in the men into the house, and kill victims, and prepare a feast: because they shall eat with me at noon. Gen. 43:16
He did as he was commanded, and brought the men into the house. Gen. 43:17
And they being much afraid, said there one to another: Because of the money, which we carried back the first time in our sacks, we are brought in: that he may bring upon us a false accusation, and by violence make slaves of us and our asses. Gen. 43:18
But he answered: Peace be with you, fear not: your God, and the God of your father, hath given you treasure in your sacks. For the money, which you gave me, I have for good. And he brought Simeon out to them. Gen. 43:23
And having brought them into the house, he fetched water, and they washed their feet, and he gave provender to their asses. Gen. 43:24
But he courteously saluting them again, asked them, saying: Is the old man your father in health, of whom you told me? Is he yet living? Gen. 43:27
And they answered: Thy servant our father, is in health; he is yet living. And bowing themselves, they made obeisance to him. Gen. 43:28
And Joseph lifting up his eyes, saw Benjamin, his brother by the same mother, and said: Is this your young brother, of whom you told me? And he said: God be gracious to thee, my son. Gen. 43:29
And he made haste, because his heart was moved upon his brother, and tears gushed out: and going into his chamber, he wept. Gen. 43:30
And when he had washed his face, coming out again, he refrained himself, and said: Set bread on the table. Gen. 43:31
And in the mouth of the younger's sack put my silver cup, and the price which he gave for the wheat. And it was so done. Gen. 44:2
The cup which you have stolen, is that in which my lord drinketh, and in which he is wont to divine: you have done a very evil thing. Gen. 44:5
He did as he had commanded him. And having overtaken them, he spoke to them the same words. Gen. 44:6
And he said to them: Let it be according to your sentence: with whomsoever it shall be found, let him be my servant, and you shall be blameless. Gen. 44:10
Which when he had searched, beginning at the eldest, and ending at the youngest, he found the cup in Benjamin's sack. Gen. 44:12
And Juda at the head of his brethren went in to Joseph (for he was not yet gone out of the place) and they all together fell down before him on the ground. Gen. 44:14
And he said to them: Why would you do so? know you not that there is no one like me in the science of divining. Gen. 44:15
And Juda said to him: What shall we answer my lord? or what shall we say, or be able justly to allege? God hath found out the iniquity of thy servants: behold, we are all bondmen to my lord, both we, and he with whom the cup was found. Gen. 44:16
Joseph answered: God forbid that I should do so: he that stole the cup, he shall be my bondman: and go you away free to your father. Gen. 44:17
And we answered thee, my lord: We have a father an old man, and a young boy, that was born in his old age; whose brother by the mother is dead; and he alone is left of his mother, and his father loveth him tenderly. Gen. 44:20
We suggested to my lord: The boy cannot leave his father: for if he leave him, he will die. Gen. 44:22
Whereunto he answered: You know that my wife bore me two. Gen. 44:27
One went out, and you said: A beast devoured him; and hitherto he appeareth not. Gen. 44:28
And he shall see that he is not with us, he will die, and thy servants shall bring down his grey hairs with sorrow unto hell. Gen. 44:31
¤ Joseph could no longer refrain himself before many that stood by: whereupon he commanded that all should go out, and no stranger be present at their knowing one another. Gen. 45:1
And he lifted up his voice with weeping, which the Egyptians, and all the house of Pharao heard. Gen. 45:2
And he said to his brethren: I am Joseph: Is my father yet living? His brethren could not answer him, being struck with exceeding great fear. Gen. 45:3
And he said mildly to them: Come nearer to me. And when they were come near him, he said: I am Joseph, your brother, whom you sold into Egypt. Gen. 45:4
And falling upon the neck of his brother Benjamin, he embraced him and wept: and Benjamin in like manner wept also on his neck. Gen. 45:14
And he spoke to Joseph that he should give orders to his brethren, saying: Load your beasts, and go into the land of Chanaan, Gen. 45:17
He ordered also to be brought out for every one of them two robes: but to Benjamin he gave three hundred pieces of silver, with five robes of the best: Gen. 45:22
So he sent away his brethren, and at their departing said to them: Be not angry in the way. Gen. 45:24
And they told him, saying: Joseph, thy son, is living; and he is ruler in all the land of Egypt. Which when Jacob heard, he awaked as it were out of a deep sleep, yet did not believe them. Gen. 45:26
They, on the other side, told the whole order of the thing. And when he saw the wagons, and all that he had sent, his spirit revived, Gen. 45:27
And he said: It is enough for me if Joseph, my son, be yet living: I will go and see him before I die. Gen. 45:28
¤ And Israel taking his journey, with all that he had, came to the well of the oath, and killing victims there to the God of his father Isaac, Gen. 46:1
He heard him, by a vision in the night, calling him, and saying to him: Jacob, Jacob. And he answered him: Lo, here I am. Gen. 46:2
And all that he had in the land of Chanaan: and he came into Egypt with all his seed; Gen. 46:6
And these are the names of the children of Israel, that entered into Egypt, he and his children. His firstborn Ruben, Gen. 46:8
And he sent Juda before him to Joseph, to tell him; and that he should meet him in Gessen. Gen. 46:28
And when he was come thither, Joseph made ready his chariot, and went up to meet his father in the same place: and seeing him, he fell upon his neck, and embracing him, wept. Gen. 46:29
And when he shall call you, and shall say: What is your occupation? Gen. 46:33
Five men also, the last of his brethren, he presented before the king: Gen. 47:2
And he asked them: What is your occupation? They answered: We, thy servants, are shepherds, both we and our fathers. Gen. 47:3
After this Joseph brought in his father to the king, and presented him before him: and he blessed him. Gen. 47:7
He answered: The days of my pilgrimage are a hundred and thirty years, few, and evil, and they are not come up to the days of the pilgrimage of my fathers. Gen. 47:9
And blessing the king, he went out. Gen. 47:10
And he nourished them, and all his father's house, allowing food to every one. Gen. 47:12
Out of which he gathered up all the money for the corn which they bought, and brought it in to the king's treasure. Gen. 47:14
And he answered them: Bring your cattle, and for them I will give you food, if you have no money. Gen. 47:16
And when they had brought them, he gave them food in exchange for their horses, and sheep, and oxen, and asses: and he maintained them that year for the exchange of their cattle. Gen. 47:17
So Joseph bought all the land of Egypt, every man selling his possessions, because of the greatness of the famine. And he brought it into Pharao's hands: Gen. 47:20
And he lived in it seventeen years: and all the days of his life came to a hundred and forty-seven years. Gen. 47:28
And when he saw that the day of his death drew nigh, he called his son Joseph, and said to him: If I have found favour in thy sight, put thy hand under my thigh; and thou shalt shew me this kindness and truth, not to bury me in Egypt. Gen. 47:29
And he said: Swear then to me. And as he was swearing, Israel adored God, turning to the bed's head. Gen. 47:31
¤ After these things, it was told Joseph that his father was sick; and he set out to go to him, taking his two sons Manasses and Ephraim. Gen. 48:1
And it was told the old man: Behold thy son Joseph cometh to thee. And being strengthened, he sat on his bed. Gen. 48:2
And when Joseph was come in to him, he said: God almighty appeared to me at Luza, which is in the land of Chanaan, and he blessed me, Gen. 48:3
Then seeing his sons, he said to him: Who are these? Gen. 48:8
He answered: They are my sons, whom God hath given me in this place. And he said: Bring them to me, that I may bless them. Gen. 48:9
For Israel's eyes were dim by reason of his great age, and he could not see clearly. And when they were brought to him, he kissed and embraced them, Gen. 48:10
And when Joseph had taken them from his father's lap, he bowed down with his face to the ground. Gen. 48:12
And he set Ephraim on his right hand, that is, towards the left hand of Israel; but Manasses on his left hand, to wit, towards his father's right hand, and brought them near to him. Gen. 48:13
But he, stretching forth his right hand, put it upon the head of Ephraim, the younger brother; and the left upon the head of Manasses, who was the elder, changing his hands. Gen. 48:14
And Joseph seeing that his father had put his right hand upon the head of Ephraim, was much displeased: and taking his father's hand, he tried to lift it from Ephraim's head, and to remove it to the head of Manasses. Gen. 48:17
And he said to his father: It should not be so, my father; for this is the firstborn, put thy right hand upon his head. Gen. 48:18
But he refusing, said: I know, my son, I know: and this also shall become a people, and shall be multiplied; but his younger brother shall be greater than he; and his seed shall grow into nations. Gen. 48:19
And he blessed them at that time, saying: In thee shall Israel be blessed, and it shall be said: God do to thee as to Ephraim, and as to Manasses. And he set Ephraim before Manasses. Gen. 48:20
And he said to Joseph, his son: Behold I die, and God will be with you, and will bring you back into the land of your fathers. Gen. 48:21
The sceptre shall not be taken away from Juda, nor a ruler from his thigh, till he come that is to be sent, and he shall be the expectation of nations. Gen. 49:10
Tying his foal to the vineyard, and his ass, O my son, to the vine. He shall wash his robe in wine, and his garment in the blood of the grape. Gen. 49:11
He saw rest that it was good: and the land that it was excellent: and he bowed his shoulder to carry, and became a servant under tribute. Gen. 49:15
Gad, being girded, shall fight before him: and he himself shall be girded backward. Gen. 49:19
Aser, his bread shall be fat, and he shall yield dainties to kings. Gen. 49:20
His bow rested upon the strong, and the bands of his arms and his hands were loosed, by the hands of the mighty one of Jacob: thence he came forth a pastor, the stone of Israel. Gen. 49:24
All these are the twelve tribes of Israel: these things their father spoke to them, and he blessed every one with their proper blessings. Gen. 49:28
And he charged them, saying: I am now going to be gathered to my people: bury me with my fathers in the double cave, which is in the field of Ephron the Hethite, Gen. 49:29
And when he had ended the commandments, wherewith he instructed his sons, he drew up his feet upon the bed, and died: and he was gathered to his people. Gen. 49:33
¤ And when Joseph saw this, he fell upon his father's face, weeping and kissing him. Gen. 50:1
And he commanded his servants, the physicians, to embalm his father. Gen. 50:2
And Pharao said to him: Go up and bury thy father according as he made thee swear. Gen. 50:6
So he went up, and there went with him all the ancients of Pharao's house, and all the elders of the land of Egypt. Gen. 50:7
He had also in his train chariots and horsemen: and it was a great company. Gen. 50:9
So the sons of Jacob did as he had commanded them. Gen. 50:12
And Joseph returned into Egypt with his brethren, and all that were in his company, after he had buried his father. Gen. 50:14
Now he being dead, his brethren were afraid, and talked one with another: Lest perhaps he should remember the wrong he suffered, and requite us all the evil that we did to him. Gen. 50:15
And they sent a message to him, saying: Thy father commanded us before he died, Gen. 50:16
That we should say thus much to thee from him: I beseech thee to forget the wickedness of thy brethren, and the sin and malice they practised against thee: we also pray thee, to forgive the servants of the God of thy father this wickedness. And when Joseph heard this, he wept. Gen. 50:17
And he answered them: Fear not: can we resist the will of God? Gen. 50:19
You thought evil against me: but God turned it into good, that he might exalt me, as at present you see, and might save many people. Gen. 50:20
Fear not: I will feed you and your children. And he comforted them, and spoke gently and mildly. Gen. 50:21
And he dwelt in Egypt with all his father's house; and lived a hundred and ten years. Gen. 50:22
And he saw the children of Ephraim to the third generation. The children also of Machir, the son of Manasses, were born on Joseph's knees. Gen. 50:23
After which he told his brethren: God will visit you after my death, and will make you go up out of this land, to the land which he swore to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Gen. 50:24
And he made them swear to him, saying: God will visit you, carry my bones with you out of this place: Gen. 50:25
And he died, being a hundred and ten years old. And being embalmed, he was laid in a coffin in Egypt. Gen. 50:26
After he was dead, and all his brethren, and all that generation, Ex. 1:6
And he said to his people: Behold the people of the children of Israel are numerous and stronger than we. Ex. 1:9
Therefore he set over them masters of the works, to afflict them with burdens: and they built for Pharao cities of tabernacles, Phithom, and Ramesses. Ex. 1:11
And because the midwives feared God, he built them houses. Ex. 1:21
And Pharao's daughter said to her: Take this child, and nurse him for me: I will give thee thy wages. The woman took and nursed the child: and when he was grown up, she delivered him to Pharao's daughter. Ex. 2:9
In those days, after Moses was grown up, he went out to his brethren: and saw their affliction, and an Egyptian striking one of the Hebrews, his brethren. Ex. 2:11
And when he had looked about this way and that way, and saw no one there, he slew the Egyptian and hid him in the sand. Ex. 2:12
And going out the next day, he saw two Hebrews quarrelling: and he said to him that did the wrong: Why strikest thou thy neighbour? Ex. 2:13
But he answered: Who hath appointed thee prince and judge over us? wilt thou kill me, as thou didst yesterday kill the Egyptian? Moses feared, and said: How is this come to be known? Ex. 2:14
And Pharao heard of this word, and sought to kill Moses: but he fled from his sight, and abode in the land of Madian, and he sat down by a well. Ex. 2:15
And when they returned to Raguel their father, he said to them: Why are ye come sooner than usual? Ex. 2:18
They answered: A man of Egypt delivered us from the hands of the shepherds: and he drew water also with us, and gave the sheep to drink. Ex. 2:19
But he said: Where is he? why have you let the man go? call him that he may eat bread. Ex. 2:20
And Moses swore that he would dwell with him. And he took Sephora his daughter to wife: Ex. 2:21
And she bore him a son, whom he called Gersam, saying: I have been a stranger in a foreign country. And she bore another, whom he called Eliezer, saying: For the God of my father, my helper, hath delivered me out of the hand of Pharao. Ex. 2:22
And he heard their groaning, and remembered the covenant which he made with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Ex. 2:24
And the Lord looked upon the children of Israel, and he knew them. Ex. 2:25
¤ Now Moses fed the sheep of Jethro, his father in law, the priest of Madian: and he drove the flock to the inner parts of the desert, and came to the mountain of God, Horeb. Ex. 3:1
And the Lord appeared to him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush: and he saw that the bush was on fire, and was not burnt. Ex. 3:2
And when the Lord saw that he went forward to see, he called to him out of the midst of the bush, and said: Moses, Moses. And he answered: Here I am. Ex. 3:4
And he said: Come not nigh hither, put off the shoes from thy feet; for the place, whereon thou standest, is holy ground. Ex. 3:5
And he said: I am the God of thy father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. Moses hid his face: for he durst not look at God. Ex. 3:6
And he said to him: I will be with thee; and this thou shalt have for a sign that I have sent thee: When thou shalt have brought my people out of Egypt, thou shalt offer sacrifice to God upon this mountain. Ex. 3:12
God said to Moses: I AM WHO AM. He said: Thus shalt thou say to the children of Israel: HE WHO IS, hath sent me to you. Ex. 3:14
For I will stretch forth my hand, and will strike Egypt with all my wonders which I will do in the midst of them: after these he will let you go. Ex. 3:20
Then he said to him: What is that thou holdest in thy hand? He answered: A rod. Ex. 4:2
And the Lord said: Cast it down upon the ground. He cast it down, and it was turned into a serpent, so that Moses fled from it. Ex. 4:3
And the Lord said: Put out thy hand, and take it by the tail. He put forth his hand, and took hold of it, and it was turned into a rod. Ex. 4:4
That they may believe, saith he, that the Lord God of their fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath appeared to thee. Ex. 4:5
And the Lord said again: Put thy hand into thy bosom. And when he had put it into his bosom, he brought it forth leprous as snow. Ex. 4:6
And he said: Put back thy hand into thy bosom. He put it back, and brought it out again, and it was like the other flesh. Ex. 4:7
If they will not believe thee, saith he, nor hear the voice of the former sign, they will believe the word of the latter sign. Ex. 4:8

Then standing in the gate of the camp, he said: If any man be on the Lord's side, let him join with me. And all the sons of Levi gathered themselves together unto him: Ex. 32:26
And he said to them: Thus saith the Lord God of Israel: Put every man his sword upon his thigh: go, and return from gate to gate through the midst of the camp, and let every man kill his brother, and friend, and neighbour. Ex. 32:27
And returning to the Lord, he said: I beseech thee: this people hath sinned a heinous sin, and they have made to themselves gods of gold: either forgive them this trespass, Ex. 32:31
And the Lord answered him: He that hath sinned against me, him will I strike out of my book: Ex. 32:33
And when Moses went forth to the tabernacle, all the people rose up, and every one stood in the door of his pavilion, and they beheld the back of Moses, till he went into the tabernacle. Ex. 33:8
And when he was gone into the tabernacle of the covenant, the pillar of the cloud came down, and stood at the door, and he spoke with Moses. Ex. 33:9
And the Lord spoke to Moses face to face, as a man is wont to speak to his friend. And when he returned into the camp, his servant Josue, the son of Nun, a young man, departed not from the tabernacle. Ex. 33:11
And he said: Shew me thy glory. Ex. 33:18
He answered: I will shew thee all good, and I will proclaim in the name of the Lord before thee: and I will have mercy on whom I will, and I will be merciful to whom it shall please me. Ex. 33:19
And again he said: Thou canst not see my face: for man shall not see me, and live. Ex. 33:20
And again he said: Behold there is a place with me, and thou shalt stand upon the rock. Ex. 33:21
¤ And after this he said: Hew thee two tables of stone like unto the former, and I will write upon them the words, which were in the tables, which thou brokest. Ex. 34:1
Then he cut out two tables of stone, such as had been before; and rising very early he went up into the Mount Sinai, as the Lord had commanded him, carrying with him the tables. Ex. 34:4
And when he passed before him, he said: O the Lord, the Lord God, merciful and gracious, patient and of much compassion, and true, Ex. 34:6
Adore not any strange god. The Lord his name is jealous, he is a jealous God. Ex. 34:14
And he was there with the Lord forty days and forty nights: he neither ate bread nor drank water, and he wrote upon the tables the ten words of the covenant. Ex. 34:28
And when Moses came down from the Mount Sinai, he held the two tables of the testimony, and he knew not that his face was horned from the conversation of the Lord. Ex. 34:29
And being called by him, they returned, both Aaron and the rulers of the congregation. And after that he spoke to them, Ex. 34:31
And all the children of Israel came to him: and he gave them in commandment all that he had heard of the Lord in Mount Sinai. Ex. 34:32
And having done speaking, he put a veil upon his face. Ex. 34:33
But when he went in to the Lord, and spoke with him, he took it away until he came forth, and then he spoke to the children of Israel all things that had been commanded him. Ex. 34:34
And they saw that the face of Moses when he came out was horned, but he covered his face again, if at any time he spoke to them. Ex. 34:35
¤ And all the multitude of the children of Israel being gathered together, he said to them: These are the things which the Lord hath commanded to be done: Ex. 35:1
Six days you shall do work; the seventh day shall be holy unto you, the sabbath and the rest of the Lord: he that shall do any work on it, shall be put to death. Ex. 35:2
He hath given in his heart: Ooliab also, the son of Achisamech, of the tribe of Dan: Ex. 35:34
Both of them hath he instructed with wisdom, to do carpenters' work, and tapestry, and embroidery in blue and purple, and scarlet twice dyed, and fine linen, and to weave all things, and to invent all new things. Ex. 35:35
He delivered all the offerings of the children of Israel unto them. And while they were earnest about the work, the people daily in the morning offered their vows. Ex. 36:3
And he joined five curtains, one to another, and the other five he coupled one to another. Ex. 36:10
He made also loops of violet in the edge of one curtain on both sides, and in the edge of the other curtain in like manner, Ex. 36:11
Whereupon also he cast fifty rings of gold, that might catch the loops of the curtains, and they might be made one tabernacle. Ex. 36:13
He made also eleven curtains of goats' hair, to cover the roof of the tabernacle: Ex. 36:14
Five of which he joined apart, and the other six apart. Ex. 36:16
And he made fifty loops in the edge of one curtain, and fifty in the edge of another curtain, that they might be joined one to another. Ex. 36:17
He made also a cover for the tabernacle of rams' skins dyed red; and another cover over that of violet skins. Ex. 36:19
He made also the boards of the tabernacle of setim wood standing. Ex. 36:20
There were two mortises throughout every board, that one might be joined to the other. And in this manner he made for all the boards of the tabernacle. Ex. 36:22
At that side also of the tabernacle, that looketh toward the north, he made twenty boards, Ex. 36:25
But against the west, to wit, at that side of the tabernacle, which looketh to the sea, he made six boards, Ex. 36:27
Which were also joined from beneath unto the top, and went together into one joint. Thus he did on both sides at the corners: Ex. 36:29
He made also bars of setim wood, five to hold together the boards of one side of the tabernacle, Ex. 36:31
He made also another bar, that might come by the midst of the boards from corner to corner. Ex. 36:33
And the boards themselves he overlaid with gold casting for them sockets of silver. And their rings he made of gold, through which the bars might be drawn: and he covered the bars themselves with plates of gold. Ex. 36:34
He made also a veil of violet, and purple, scarlet and fine twisted linen, varied and distinguished with embroidery: Ex. 36:35

He made also a hanging in the entry of the tabernacle of violet, purple, scarlet, and fine twisted linen, with the work of an embroiderer. Ex. 36:37
And five pillars with their heads, which he covered with gold, and their sockets he cast of brass. Ex. 36:38
¤ And Beseleel made also, the ark of setim wood: it was two cubits and a half in length, and a cubit and a half in breadth, and the height was of one cubit and a half: and he overlaid it with the purest gold within and without. Ex. 37:1
And he made to it a crown of gold round about, Ex. 37:2
And he made bars of setim wood, which he overlaid with gold, Ex. 37:4

He made also the table of setim wood, in length two cubits, and in breadth one cubit, and in height it was a cubit and a half. Ex. 37:10
And he overlaid it with the finest gold, and he made to it a golden ledge round about, Ex. 37:11
And to the ledge itself he made a polished crown of gold, of four fingers breadth, and upon the same another golden crown. Ex. 37:12
And he cast four rings of gold, which he put in the four corners at each foot of the table, Ex. 37:13
Over against the crown: and he put the bars into them, that the table might be carried. Ex. 37:14
And the bars also themselves he made of setim wood, and overlaid them with gold. Ex. 37:15
He made also the candlestick of beaten work of the finest gold, from the shaft whereof its branches, its cups, and bowls, and lilies came out: Ex. 37:17
He made also the seven lamps with their snuffers, and the vessels where the snuffings were to be put out, of the purest gold. Ex. 37:23
He made also the altar of incense of setim wood, being a cubit on every side foursquare, and in height two cubits: from the corners of which went out horns. Ex. 37:25
And he overlaid it with the purest gold, with its grate, and the sides, and the horns. Ex. 37:26
And he made to it a crown of gold round about, and two golden rings under the crown at each side, that the bars might be put into them, and the altar be carried. Ex. 37:27
And the bars themselves he made also of setim wood, and overlaid them with plates of gold. Ex. 37:28
He compounded also the oil for the ointment of sanctification, and incense of the purest spices, according to the work of a perfumer. Ex. 37:29
¤ He made also the altar of holocaust of setim wood, five cubits square, and three in height: Ex. 38:1
The horns whereof went out from the corners, and he overlaid it with plates of brass. Ex. 38:2
And for the uses thereof, he prepared divers vessels of brass, cauldrons, tongs, fleshhooks, pothooks and firepans. Ex. 38:3
And he made the grate thereof of brass, in manner of a net, and under it in the midst of the altar a hearth, Ex. 38:4
And he made the bars of setim wood, and overlaid them with plates of brass: Ex. 38:6
And he drew them through the rings that stood out in the sides of the altar. And the altar itself was not solid, but hollow, of boards, and empty within. Ex. 38:7
He made also the laver of brass, with the foot thereof, of the mirrors of the women that watched at the door of the tabernacle. Ex. 38:8
He made also the court, in the south side whereof were hangings of fine twisted linen of a hundred cubits. Ex. 38:9
Moreover, towards the east he prepared hangings of fifty cubits: Ex. 38:13
And on the other side (for between the two he made the entry of the tabernacle) there were hangings equally of fifteen cubits, and three pillars, and as many sockets. Ex. 38:15
The sockets of the pillars were of brass, and their heads with all their gravings of silver: and he overlaid the pillars of the court also with silver. Ex. 38:17
And he made in the entry thereof an embroidered hanging of violet, purple, scarlet, and fine twisted linen, that was twenty cubits long, and five cubits high, according to the measure of all the hangings of the court. Ex. 38:18
The pins also of the tabernacle and of the court round about he made of brass. Ex. 38:20
And of the thousand seven hundred and seventy-five he made the heads of the pillars, which also he overlaid with silver. Ex. 38:28
¤ And he made, of violet and purple, scarlet and fine linen, the vestments for Aaron to wear when he ministered in the holy places, as the Lord commanded Moses. Ex. 39:1
So he made an ephod of gold, violet, and purple, and scarlet twice dyed, and fine twisted linen, Ex. 39:2
With embroidered work, and he cut thin plates of gold, and drew them small into threads, that they might be twisted with the woof of the foresaid colours, Ex. 39:3
He prepared also two onyx stones, fast set and closed in gold, and graven, by the art of a lapidary, with the names of the children of Israel: Ex. 39:6
And he set them in the sides of the ephod, for a memorial of the children of Israel, as the Lord had commanded Moses. Ex. 39:7
He made also a rational with embroidered work, according to the work of the ephod, of gold, violet, purple, and scarlet twice dyed, and fine twisted linen: Ex. 39:8
And he set four rows of precious stones in it. In the first row was a sardius, a topaz, an emerald. Ex. 39:10
To wit, a bell of gold, and a pomegranate, wherewith the high priest went adorned, when he discharged his ministry, as the Lord had commanded Moses. Ex. 39:24
And when Moses saw all things finished, he blessed them. Ex. 39:43
And he put the testimony in the ark, thrusting bars underneath, and the oracle above. Ex. 40:20
And when he had brought the ark into the tabernacle, he drew the veil before it to fulfil the commandment of the Lord. Ex. 40:21
And he set the table in the tabernacle of the testimony, at the north side, without the veil, Ex. 40:22
He set the candlestick also in the tabernacle of the testimony, over against the table on the south side, Ex. 40:24
He set also the altar of gold under the roof of the testimony, over against the veil, Ex. 40:26
And he put also the hanging in the entry of the tabernacle of the testimony, Ex. 40:28
And he set the laver between the tabernacle of the testimony and the altar, filling it with water. Ex. 40:30
He set up also the court round about the tabernacle and the altar, drawing the hanging in the entry thereof. After all things were perfected, Ex. 40:33
If his offering be a holocaust, and of the herd, he shall offer a male without blemish, at the door of the testimony, to make the Lord favourable to him. Lev. 1:3

And all the fat thereof he shall take off, and shall burn it upon the altar: Lev. 4:19
Doing so with this calf, as he did also with that before. And the priest praying for them, the Lord will be merciful unto them. Lev. 4:20
But the calf itself he shall carry forth without the camp, and shall burn it as he did the former calf: because it is for the sin of the multitude. Lev. 4:21
And afterwards shall come to know his sin: he shall offer a buck goat without blemish, a sacrifice to the Lord. Lev. 4:23
And he shall put his hand upon the head thereof: and when he hath immolated it in the place where the holocaust is wont to be slain before the Lord, because it is for sin, Lev. 4:24

Praying for him and making atonement. But the part that is left, he himself shall have for a gift. Lev. 5:13
If any one shall sin through mistake, transgressing the ceremonies in those things that are sacrificed to the Lord, he shall offer for his offence a ram without blemish out of the flocks, that may be bought for two sicles, according to the weight of the sanctuary. Lev. 5:15

He shall offer of the flocks a ram without blemish to the priest, according to the measure and estimation of the sin. And the priest shall pray for him, because he did it ignorantly: And it shall be forgiven him, Lev. 5:18

He offered the holocaust. Lev. 9:16
He immolated also the bullock and the ram, and peace offerings of the people: and his sons brought him the blood, which he poured upon the altar round about. Lev. 9:18
And stretching forth his hands to the people, he blessed them. And so the victims for sin, and the holocausts, and the peace offerings being finished, he came down. Lev. 9:22
And Moses said to Aaron: This is what the Lord hath spoken. I will be sanctified in them that approach to me: and I will be glorified in the sight of all the people. And when Aaron heard this, he held his peace. Lev. 10:3
While these things were a doing, when Moses sought for the buck goat, that had been offered for sin, he found it burnt. And being angry with Eleazar and Ithamar, the sons of Aaron that were left, he said: Lev. 10:16
Which when Moses had heard he was satisfied. Lev. 10:20
And if it be necessary that he carry any of these things when they are dead: he shall wash his clothes, and shall be unclean until the sun set. Lev. 11:25
Every beast that hath a hoof, but divideth it not, nor cheweth the cud shall be unclean: and he that toucheth it, shall be defiled. Lev. 11:26
That which walketh upon hands of all animals which go on all four, shall be unclean: he that shall touch their carcasses shall be defiled until evening. Lev. 11:27
And he that shall carry such carcasses, shall wash his clothes, and shall be unclean until evening: because all these things are unclean to you. Lev. 11:28
All these are unclean. He that toucheth their carcasses shall be unclean until the evening. Lev. 11:31
But fountains and cisterns, and all gatherings together of waters shall be clean. He that toucheth their carcasses shall be defiled. Lev. 11:36
If any beast die, of which it is lawful for you to eat, he that toucheth the carcass thereof, shall be unclean until the evening. Lev. 11:39
And he that eateth or carrieth any thing thereof, shall wash his clothes, and shall be unclean until the evening. Lev. 11:40
And if he see the leprosy in his skin, and the hair turned white and the place where the leprosy appears lower than the skin and the rest of the flesh: it is the stroke of the leprosy, and upon his judgment he shall be separated. Lev. 13:3
And the seventh day he shall look on him: and if the leprosy be grown no farther, and hath not spread itself in the skin, he shall shut him up again other seven days. Lev. 13:5
And on the seventh day, he shall look on him. If the leprosy be somewhat obscure, and not spread in the skin, he shall declare him clean, because it is but a scab: and the man shall wash his clothes, and shall be clean. Lev. 13:6
But, if the leprosy grow again, after he was seen by the priest and restored to cleanness, he shall be brought to him: Lev. 13:7
If the stroke of the leprosy be in a man, he shall be brought to the priest: Lev. 13:9
And he shall view him. And when there shall be a white colour in the skin, and it shall have changed the look of the hair, and the living flesh itself shall appear: Lev. 13:10
It shall be judged an inveterate leprosy, and grown into the skin. The priest therefore shall declare him unclean: and shall not shut him up, because he is evidently unclean. Lev. 13:11
The priest shall view him, and shall judge that the leprosy which he has is very clean: because it is all turned into whiteness, and therefore the man shall be clean. Lev. 13:13
Then by the judgment of the priest he shall be defiled, and shall be reckoned among the unclean. For live flesh, if it be spotted with leprosy, is unclean. Lev. 13:15
And when he shall see the place of the leprosy lower than the other flesh, and the hair turned white: he shall declare him unclean, for the plague of leprosy is broken out in the ulcer. Lev. 13:20
But if the hair be of the former colour, and the scar somewhat obscure, and be not lower than the flesh that is near it: he shall shut him up seven days. Lev. 13:21
And if it spread, he shall judge him to have the leprosy: Lev. 13:22
The priest shall view it, and if he see it turned white, and the place thereof is lower than the other skin: he shall declare him unclean, because the evil of leprosy is broken out in the scar. Lev. 13:25
But if the colour of the hair be not changed, nor the blemish lower than the other flesh, and the appearance of the leprosy be somewhat obscure: he shall shut him up seven days, Lev. 13:26
And on the seventh day he shall view him. If the leprosy be grown farther in the skin, he shall declare him unclean. Lev. 13:27
But if the whiteness stay in its place, and be not very clear, it is the sore of a burning: and therefore he shall be cleansed, because it is only the scar of a burning. Lev. 13:28
And if the place be lower than the other flesh, and the hair yellow, and thinner than usual: he shall declare them unclean, because it is the leprosy of the head and the beard; Lev. 13:30
But if he perceive the place of the spot is equal with the flesh that is near it, and the hair black: he shall shut him up seven days, Lev. 13:31
And on the seventh day he shall look upon it. If the spot be not grown, and the hair keep its colour, and the place of the blemish be even with the other flesh: Lev. 13:32
The man shall be shaven all but the place of the spot: and he shall be shut up other seven days. Lev. 13:33
If on the seventh day the evil seem to have stayed in its place, and not lower than the other flesh, he shall cleanse him: and his clothes being washed he shall be clean. Lev. 13:34
He shall seek no more whether the hair be turned yellow, because he is evidently unclean. Lev. 13:36
The priest shall view them. If he find that a darkish whiteness shineth in the skin, let him know that it is not the leprosy, but a white blemish, and that the man is clean. Lev. 13:39
The man whose hair falleth off from his head, he is bald and clean: Lev. 13:40
And if the hair fall from his forehead, he is bald before and clean. Lev. 13:41
And the priest perceive this, he shall condemn him undoubtedly of leprosy which is risen in the bald part. Lev. 13:43
Shall have his clothes hanging loose, his head bare, his mouth covered with a cloth: and he shall cry out that he is defiled and unclean. Lev. 13:45
All the time that he is a leper and unclean he shall dwell alone without the camp. Lev. 13:46
And he shall look upon it and shall shut it up seven days. Lev. 13:50
And on the seventh day when he looketh on it again, if he find that it is grown, it is a fixed leprosy. He shall judge the garment unclean, and every thing wherein it shall be found. Lev. 13:51
But if he see that it is not grown, Lev. 13:53
He shall give orders, and they shall wash that part wherein the leprosy is: and he shall shut it up other seven days. Lev. 13:54
And when he shall see that the former colour is not returned, nor yet the leprosy spread, he shall judge it unclean: and shall burn it with fire, for the leprosy has taken hold of the outside of the garment, or through the whole. Lev. 13:55
But if the place of the leprosy be somewhat dark, after the garment is washed, he shall tear it off, and divide it from that which is sound. Lev. 13:56
If it cease, he shall wash with water the parts that are pure, the second time: and they shall be clean. Lev. 13:58
This is the rite of a leper, when he is to be cleansed. He shall be brought to the priest: Lev. 14:2
Who going out of the camp, when he shall find that the leprosy is cleansed, Lev. 14:3
And he shall command one of the sparrows to be immolated in an earthen vessel over living waters. Lev. 14:5
But the other that is alive, he shall dip, with the cedar wood, and the scarlet and the hyssop, in the blood of the sparrow that is immolated: Lev. 14:6
Wherewith he shall sprinkle him that is to be cleansed seven times, that he may be rightly purified. And he shall let go the living sparrow, that it may fly into the field. Lev. 14:7
And when the man hath washed his clothes, he shall shave all the hair of his body, and shall be washed with water: and being purified he shall enter into the camp, yet so that he tarry without his own tent seven days. Lev. 14:8
And on the seventh day he shall shave the hair of his head, and his beard and his eyebrows, and the hair of all his body. And having washed again his clothes, and his body, Lev. 14:9
On the eighth day, he shall take two lambs without blemish, and an ewe of a year old without blemish, and three tenths of flour tempered with oil for a sacrifice, and a sextary of oil apart. Lev. 14:10
He shall take a lamb, and offer it for a trespass offering with the sextary of oil. And having offered all before the Lord, Lev. 14:12
He shall immolate the lamb, where the victim for sin is wont to be immolated, and the holocaust, that is, in the holy place. For as that which is for sin, so also the victim for a trespass offering pertaineth to the priest: it is holy of holies. Lev. 14:13
And he shall pour of the sextary of oil into his own left hand, Lev. 14:15
And the rest of the oil in his left hand, he shall pour upon the tip of the right ear of him that is cleansed, and upon the thumb of his right hand and the great toe of his right foot, and upon the blood that was shed for trespass: Lev. 14:17
And he shall pray for him before the Lord, and shall offer the sacrifice for sin. Then shall he immolate the holocaust. Lev. 14:19
But if he be poor, and his hand cannot find the things aforesaid: he shall take a lamb for an offering for trespass, that the priest may pray for him, and a tenth part of flour tempered with oil for a sacrifice, and a sextary of oil: Lev. 14:21
And he shall offer them on the eighth day of his purification to the priest, at the door of the tabernacle of the testimony before the Lord. Lev. 14:23
And the lamb being immolated, he shall put of the blood thereof upon the tip of the right ear of him that is cleansed, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and the great toe of his right foot. Lev. 14:25

And dipping the finger of his right hand in it, he shall sprinkle it seven times before the Lord. Lev. 14:27
And he shall touch the tip of the right ear of him that is cleansed, and the thumb of his right hand and the great toe of his right foot, in the place of the blood that was shed for trespass. Lev. 14:28
And the other part of the oil that is in his left hand, he shall pour upon the head of the purified person, that he may appease the Lord for him. Lev. 14:29
And he shall offer a turtle, or young pigeon: Lev. 14:30
He whose house it is, shall go and tell the priest, saying: It seemeth to me, that there is the plague of leprosy in my house, Lev. 14:35
And he shall command, that they carry forth all things out of the house, before he go into it, and see whether it have the leprosy, lest all things become unclean that are in the house. And afterwards he shall go in to view the leprosy of the house. Lev. 14:36
And if he see in the walls thereof as it were little dints, disfigured with paleness or redness, and lower than all the rest: Lev. 14:37
He shall go out of the door of the house, and forthwith shut it up seven days, Lev. 14:38
And returning on the seventh day, he shall look upon it. If he find that the leprosy is spread, Lev. 14:39
He shall command, that the stones wherein the leprosy is, be taken out, and cast without the city into an unclean place: Lev. 14:40
He that entereth into the house when it is shut, shall be unclean until evening, Lev. 14:46
And he that sleepeth in it, and eateth any thing, shall wash his clothes. Lev. 14:47
But if the priest going in perceive that the leprosy is not spread in the house, after it was plastered again, he shall purify it, it being cured. Lev. 14:48
And for the purification thereof he shall take two sparrows, and cedar wood, and scarlet, and hyssop. Lev. 14:49
He shall take the cedar wood, and the hyssop, and the scarlet, and the living sparrow, and shall dip all in the blood of the sparrow that is immolated, and in the living water: and he shall sprinkle the house seven times. Lev. 14:51
And when he hath let go the sparrow to fly freely away into the field, he shall pray for the house: and it shall be rightly cleansed. Lev. 14:53
And then shall he be judged subject to this evil, when a filthy humour, at every moment, cleaveth to his flesh, and gathereth there. Lev. 15:3

And he shall sell to thee according to the computation of the fruits. Lev. 25:15
The more years remain after the jubilee, the more shall the price increase: and the less time is counted, so much the less shall the purchase cost. For he shall sell to thee the time of the fruits. Lev. 25:16
If thy brother being impoverished sell his little possession, and his kinsman will: he may redeem what he had sold. Lev. 25:25
But if he have no kinsman, and he himself can find the price to redeem it: Lev. 25:26
The value of the fruits shall be counted from that time when he sold it. And the overplus he shall restore to the buyer, and so shall receive his possession again. Lev. 25:27

He that selleth a house within the walls of a city, shall have the liberty to redeem it, until one year be expired. Lev. 25:29

If thy brother be impoverished, and weak of hand, and thou receive him as a stranger and sojourner, and he live with thee: Lev. 25:35
But he shall be as a hireling, and a sojourner: he shall work with thee until the year of the jubilee. Lev. 25:40
And afterwards he shall go out with his children: and shall return to his kindred and to the possession of his fathers. Lev. 25:41
After the sale he may be redeemed. He that will of his brethren shall redeem him: Lev. 25:48
Either his uncle, or his uncle's son, or his kinsman, by blood, or by affinity. But if he himself be able also, he shall redeem himself: Lev. 25:49
Counting only the years from the time of his selling unto the year of the jubilee: and counting the money that he was sold for, according to the number of the years and the reckoning of a hired servant. Lev. 25:50
If there be many years that remain until the jubilee, according to them shall he also repay the price. Lev. 25:51
If few, he shall make the reckoning with him according to the number of the years: and shall repay to the buyer of what remaineth of the years. Lev. 25:52
His wages being allowed for which he served before: he shall not afflict him violently in thy sight. Lev. 25:53
And if by these means he cannot be redeemed, in the year of the jubilee he shall go out with his children. Lev. 25:54
If it be a man from twenty years old unto sixty years old, he shall give fifty sicles of silver, after the weight of the sanctuary: Lev. 27:3
If he be poor, and not able to pay the estimation, he shall stand before the priest: and as much as he shall value him at, and see him able to pay, so much shall he give. Lev. 27:8

And if he have no brethren, you shall give the inheritance to his father's brethren. Num. 27:10

That thou mayst write on them all the words of this law, when thou art passed over the Jordan: that thou mayst enter into the land which the Lord thy God will give thee, a land flowing with milk and honey, as he swore to thy fathers. Dt. 27:3
Cursed be he that honoureth not his father and mother: and all the people shall say: Amen. Dt. 27:16
Cursed be he that removeth his neighbour's landmarks: and all the people shall say: Amen. Dt. 27:17
Cursed be he that maketh the blind to wander out of his way: and all the people shall say: Amen. Dt. 27:18

Cursed be he that secretly killeth his neighbour: and all the people shall say: Amen. Dt. 27:24
Cursed be he that taketh gifts, to slay an innocent person: and all the people shall say: Amen. Dt. 27:25
Cursed be he that abideth not in the words of this law, and fulfilleth them not in work: and all the people shall say: Amen. Dt. 27:26

He shall lend to thee, and thou shalt not lend to him. He shall be as the head, and thou shalt be the tail. Dt. 28:44
And all these curses shall come upon thee, and shall pursue and overtake thee, till thou perish: because thou heardst not the voice of the Lord thy God, and didst not keep his commandments and ceremonies which he commanded thee. Dt. 28:45
Thou shalt serve thy enemy, whom the Lord will send upon thee, in hunger, and thirst, and nakedness, and in want of all things: and he shall put an iron yoke upon thy neck, till he consume thee. Dt. 28:48
And will devour the fruit of thy cattle, and the fruits of thy land: until thou be destroyed, and will leave thee no wheat, nor wine, nor oil, nor herds of oxen, nor flocks of sheep: until he destroy thee. Dt. 28:51
So that he will not give them of the flesh of his children, which he shall eat: because he hath nothing else in the siege and the want, wherewith thy enemies shall distress thee within all thy gates. Dt. 28:55
And he shall bring back on thee all the afflictions of Egypt, which thou wast afraid of, and they shall stick fast to thee. Dt. 28:60
Moreover the Lord will bring upon thee all the diseases, and plagues, that are not written in the volume of this law till he consume thee: Dt. 28:61
And as the Lord rejoiced upon you before doing good to you, and multiplying you: so he shall rejoice destroying and bringing you to nought, so that you shall be taken away from the land which thou shalt go in to possess. Dt. 28:63
The Lord shall bring thee again with ships into Egypt, by the way whereof he said to thee that thou shouldst see it no more. There shalt thou be set to sale to thy enemies for bondmen and bondwomen, and no man shall buy you. Dt. 28:68
¤ These are the words of the covenant which the Lord commanded Moses to make with the children of Israel in the land of Moab: beside that covenant which he made with them in Horeb. Dt. 29:1
He hath brought you forty years through the desert: your garments are not worn out, neither are the shoes of your feet consumed with age. Dt. 29:5
That he may raise thee up a people to himself, and he may be thy God as he hath spoken to thee, and as he swore to thy fathers Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Dt. 29:13
And when he shall hear the words of this oath, he should bless himself in his heart saying: I shall have peace, and will walk on in the naughtiness of my heart: and the drunken may consume the thirsty, Dt. 29:19
And they shall answer: Because they forsook the covenant of the Lord, which he made with their fathers, when he brought them out of the land of Egypt: Dt. 29:25
And he hath cast them out of their land, in anger and in wrath, and in very great indignation, and hath thrown them into a strange land, as it is seen this day. Dt. 29:28
The Lord thy God will bring back again thy captivity, and will have mercy on thee, and gather thee again out of all the nations, into which he scattered thee before. Dt. 30:3

And he will turn all these curses upon thy enemies, and upon them that hate and persecute thee. Dt. 30:7
And the Lord thy God will make thee abound in all the works of thy hands, in the fruit of thy womb, and in the fruit of thy cattle, in the fruitfulness of thy land, and in the plenty of all things. For the Lord will return to rejoice over thee in all good things, as he rejoiced in thy fathers: Dt. 30:9
That thou mayst love the Lord thy God, and walk in his ways, and keep his commandments and ceremonies and judgments, and thou mayst live, and he may multiply thee, and bless thee in the land, which thou shalt go in to possess. Dt. 30:16
And that thou mayst love the Lord thy God, and obey his voice, and adhere to him (for he is thy life, and the length of thy days,) that thou mayst dwell in the land, for which the Lord swore to thy fathers Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob that he would give it them. Dt. 30:20
And he said to them: I am this day a hundred and twenty years old, I can no longer go out and come in, especially as the Lord also hath said to me: Thou shalt not pass over this Jordan. Dt. 31:2
The Lord thy God then will pass over before thee: he will destroy all these nations in thy sight, and thou shalt possess them: and this Josue shall go over before thee, as the Lord hath spoken. Dt. 31:3
And the Lord shall do to them as he did to Sehon and Og the kings of the Amorrhites, and to their land, and shall destroy them. Dt. 31:4

And he commanded them, saying: After seven years, in the year of remission, in the feast of tabernacles, Dt. 31:10
He commanded the Levites, who carried the ark of the covenant of the Lord, saying: Dt. 31:25
The works of God are perfect, and all his ways are judgments: God is faithful and without any iniquity, he is just and right. Dt. 32:4
Is this the return thou makest to the Lord, O foolish and senseless people? Is not he thy father, that hath possessed thee, and made thee, and created thee? Dt. 32:6
Remember the days of old, think upon every generation: ask thy father, and he will declare to thee: thy elders and they will tell thee. Dt. 32:7
When the Most High divided the nations: when he separated the sons of Adam, he appointed the bounds of people according to the number of the children of Israel. Dt. 32:8
He found him in a desert land, in a place of horror, and of vast wilderness: he led him about, and taught him: and he kept him as the apple of his eye. Dt. 32:10
As the eagle enticing her young to fly, and hovering over them, he spread his wings, and hath taken him and carried him on his shoulders. Dt. 32:11
He set him upon high land: that he might eat the fruits of the fields, that he might suck honey out of the rock, and oil out of the hardest stone, Dt. 32:13
The beloved grew fat, and kicked: he grew fat, and thick and gross, he forsook God who made him, and departed from God his saviour. Dt. 32:15
And he said: I will hide my face from them, and will consider what their last end shall be: for it is a perverse generation, and unfaithful children. Dt. 32:20

And he shall say: Where are their gods, in whom they trusted? Dt. 32:37
Praise his people, ye nations, for he will revenge the blood of his servants: and will render vengeance to their enemies, and he will be merciful to the land of his people. Dt. 32:43
And he ended all these words, speaking to all Israel. Dt. 32:45
And he said to them: Set your hearts on all the words, which I testify to you this day: which you shall command your children to observe and to do, and to fulfil all that is written in this law: Dt. 32:46
And he said: The Lord came from Sinai, and from Seir he rose up to us: he hath appeared from mount Pharan, and with him thousands of saints. In his right hand a fiery law. Dt. 33:2
He hath loved the people, all the saints are in his hand: and they that approach to his feet, shall receive of his doctrine. Dt. 33:3
He shall be king with the most right, the princes of the people, being assembled with the tribes of Israel. Dt. 33:5
Let Ruben live, and not die, and be he small in number. Dt. 33:6
This is the blessing of Juda. Hear, O Lord, the voice of Juda, and bring him in unto his people: his hands shall fight for him, and he shall be his helper against his enemies. Dt. 33:7
To Levi also he said: Thy perfection, and thy doctrine be to thy holy man, whom thou hast proved in the temptation, and judged at the waters of contradiction: Dt. 33:8
And to Benjamin he said: The best beloved of the Lord shall dwell confidently in him: as in a bride chamber shall he abide all the day long, and between his shoulders shall be rest. Dt. 33:12
To Joseph also he said: Of the blessing of the Lord be his land, of the fruits of heaven, and of the dew, and of the deep that lieth beneath. Dt. 33:13
His beauty as of the firstling of a bullock, his horns as the horns of a rhinoceros: with them shall he push the nations even to the ends of the earth. These are the multitudes of Ephraim and these the thousands of Manasses. Dt. 33:17
And to Zabulon he said: Rejoice, O Zabulon, in thy going out; and Issachar in thy tabernacles. Dt. 33:18
And to Gad he said: Blessed be Gad in his breadth: he hath rested as a lion, and hath seized upon the arm and the top of the head. Dt. 33:20
And he saw his pre-eminence, that in his portion the teacher was laid up: who was with the princes of the people, and did the justices of the Lord, and his judgment with Israel. Dt. 33:21
To Dan also he said: Dan is a young lion, he shall flow plentifully from Basan. Dt. 33:22
And To Nephtali he said: Nephtali shall enjoy abundance, and shall be full of the blessings of the Lord: he shall possess the sea and the south. Dt. 33:23
To Aser also he said: Let Aser be blessed with children, let him be acceptable to his brethren, and let him dip his foot in oil. Dt. 33:24
There is no other god like the God of the rightest: he that is mounted upon the heaven is thy helper. By his magnificence the clouds run hither and thither. Dt. 33:26
His dwelling is above, and underneath are the everlasting arms: he shall cast out the enemy from before thee, and shall say: Be thou brought to nought. Dt. 33:27
And he buried him in the valley of the land of Moab over against Phogor: and no man hath known of his sepulchre until this present day. Dt. 34:6
Moses was a hundred and twenty years old when he died: his eye was not dim, neither were his teeth moved. Dt. 34:7
In all the signs and wonders, which he sent by him, to do in the land of Egypt to Pharao, and to all his servants, and to his whole land, Dt. 34:11
And he said to the Rubenites, and the Gadites, and the half tribe of Manasses: Josu. 1:12
Until the Lord give rest to your brethren, as he hath given you, and they also possess the land which the Lord your God will give them: and so you shall return into the land of your possession, and you shall dwell in it, which Moses the servant of the Lord gave you beyond the Jordan, toward the rising of the sun. Josu. 1:15
As we obeyed Moses in all things, so will we obey thee also: only be the Lord thy God with thee, as he was with Moses. Josu. 1:17
He that shall gainsay thy mouth, and not obey all thy words, that thou shalt command him, let him die: only take thou courage, and do manfully. Josu. 1:18
And hearing these things, we were affrighted, and our heart fainted away, neither did there remain any spirit in us, at your coming in: for the Lord your God he is God in heaven above, and in the earth beneath. Josu. 2:11
¤ And Josue rose before daylight, and removed the camp: and they departed from Setim, and came to the Jordan: he, and all the children of Israel, and they abode there for three days. Josu. 3:1
And he said to the priests: Take up the ark of the covenant, and go before the people. And they obeyed his commands, and took it up, and walked before them. Josu. 3:6
And again he said: By this you shall know, that the Lord, the living God, is in the midst of you, and that he shall destroy, before your sight, the Chanaanite and the Hethite, the Hevite and the Pherezite, the Gergesite also, and the Jebusite, and the Amorrhite. Josu. 3:10
And Josue called twelve men, whom he had chosen out of the children of Israel, one out of every tribe, Josu. 4:4
And he said to them: Go before the ark of the Lord your God to the midst of the Jordan, and carry from thence every man a stone on your shoulders, according to the number of the children of Israel, Josu. 4:5
In that day the Lord magnified Josue in the sight of all Israel, that they should fear him, as they had feared Moses, while he lived. Josu. 4:14
And he said to him: Josu. 4:15
And he commanded them, saying: Come ye up out of the Jordan. Josu. 4:17
The Lord your God drying up the waters thereof in your sight, until you passed over: As he had done before in the Red Sea, which he dried up till we passed through: Josu. 4:23
He did what the Lord had commanded, and he circumcised the children of Israel in the hill of the foreskins. Josu. 5:3
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
And when Josue was in the field of the city of Jericho, he lifted up his eyes, and saw a man standing over against him, holding a drawn sword, and he went to him, and said: Art thou one of ours, or of our adversaries? Josu. 5:13
And he answered: No: but I am prince of the host of the Lord, and now I am come. Josue fell on his face to the ground. And worshipping, said: What saith my lord to his servant? Josu. 5:14
Loose, saith he, thy shoes from off thy feet: for the place whereon thou standest is holy. And Josue did as was commanded him. Josu. 5:15
And he said to the people: Go, and compass the city, armed, marching before the ark of the Lord. Josu. 6:7
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
Cursed be the man before the Lord, that shall raise up and build the city of Jericho. In his firstborn may he lay the foundation thereof, and in the last of his children set up its gates. Josu. 6:26
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
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
Neither can Israel stand before his enemies, but he shall flee from them: because he is defiled with the anathema. I will be no more with you, till you destroy him that is guilty of this wickedness. Josu. 7:12
Arise, sanctify the people, and say to them: Be ye sanctified against tomorrow: for thus saith the Lord God of Israel: The curse is in the midst of thee, O Israel: thou canst not stand before thy enemies, till he be destroyed out of thee, that is defiled with this wickedness. Josu. 7:13
And whosoever he be that shall be found guilty of this fact, he shall be burnt with fire, with all his substance, because he hath transgressed the covenant of the Lord, and hath done wickedness in Israel. Josu. 7:15
Josue, therefore, when he rose in the morning, made Israel to come by their tribes, and the tribe of Juda was found. Josu. 7:16
Which being brought by in families, it was found to be the family of Zare. Bringing that also by the houses, he found it to be Zabdi: Josu. 7:17
And bringing his house man by man, he found Achan, the son of Charmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zare, of the tribe of Juda. Josu. 7:18
And Josue arose, and all the army of the fighting men with him, to go up against Hai: and he sent thirty thousand chosen valiant men in the night, Josu. 8:3
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 rising early in the morning, he mustered his soldiers, and went up with the ancients in the front of the army, environed with the aid of the fighting men. Josu. 8:10
And he had chosen five thousand men, and set them to lie in ambush between Bethel and Hai, on the west side of the same city: Josu. 8:12
And when the king of Hai saw this, he made haste in the morning, and went out with all the army of the city, and set it in battle array, toward the desert, not knowing that there lay an ambush behind his back. Josu. 8:14
And when he had lifted up his shield towards the city, the ambush, that lay hid, rose up immediately: and going to the city, took it, and set it on fire. Josu. 8:19
But Josue drew not back his hand, which he had stretched out on high, holding the shield, till all the inhabitants of Hai were slain. Josu. 8:26
And he burnt the city, and made it a heap forever: Josu. 8:28
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
As Moses, the servant of the Lord, had commanded the children of Israel, and it is written in the book of the law of Moses: an altar of unhewn stones, which iron had not touched: and he offered upon it holocausts to the Lord, and immolated victims of peace offerings. Josu. 8:31
And he wrote upon stones, the Deuteronomy of the law of Moses, which he had ordered before the children of Israel. Josu. 8:32
And all the people, and the ancients, and the princes, and judges, stood on both sides of the ark, before the priests that carried the ark of the covenant of the Lord, both the stranger and he that was born among them, half of them by Mount Garizim, and half by Mount Hebal, as Moses the servant of the Lord, had commanded. And first he blessed the people of Israel. Josu. 8:33
After this, he read all the words of the blessing and the cursing, and all things that were written in the book of the law. Josu. 8:34
He left out nothing of those things which Moses had commanded, but he repeated all before all the people of Israel, with the women and children, and strangers, that dwelt among them. Josu. 8:35
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
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
¤ When Adonisedec, king of Jerusalem, had heard these things, to wit, that Josue had taken Hai, and had destroyed it, (for as he had done to Jericho and the king thereof, so did he to Hai and its king) and that the Gabaonites were gone over to Israel, and were their confederates, Josu. 10:1
He was exceedingly afraid. For Gabaon was a great city, and one of the royal cities, and greater than the town of Hai, and all its fighting men were most valiant. Josu. 10:2
And the Lord troubled them, at the sight of Israel: and he slew them with a great slaughter, in Gabaon, and pursued them by the way of the ascent to Bethoron, and cut them off all the way to Azeca and Maceda. Josu. 10:10
Then Josue spoke to the Lord, in the day that he delivered the Amorrhite in the sight of the children of Israel, and he said before them: Move not, O sun, toward Gabaon, nor thou, O moon, toward the valley of Ajalon. Josu. 10:12
And he commanded them that were with him, saying: Roll great stones to the mouth of the cave, and set careful men to keep them shut up: Josu. 10:18
And when they were brought out to him, he called all the men of Israel, and said to the chiefs of the army that were with him: Go, and set your feet on the necks of these kings. And when they had gone, and put their feet upon the necks of them lying under them, Josu. 10:24
He said again to them: Fear not, neither be ye dismayed, take courage, and be strong: for so will the Lord do to all your enemies, against whom you fight. Josu. 10:25
And when the sun was down, he commanded the soldiers to take them down from the gibbets. And after they were taken down, they cast them into the cave, where they had lain hid, and put great stones at the mouth thereof, which remain until this day. Josu. 10:27
The same day Josue took Maceda, and destroyed it with the edge of the sword, and killed the king and all the inhabitants thereof: he left not in it the least remains. And he did to the king of Maceda, as he had done to the king of Jericho. Josu. 10:28
And he passed from Maceda with all Israel to Lebna, and fought against it: Josu. 10:29
From Lebna he passed unto Lachis, with all Israel: and investing it with his army, besieged it. Josu. 10:31
And the Lord delivered Lachis into the hands of Israel, and he took it the following day, and put it to the sword, and every soul that was in it, as he had done to Lebna. Josu. 10:32
And he passed from Lachis to Eglon, and surrounded it, Josu. 10:34
And took it the same day: and put to the sword all the souls that were in it, according to all that he had done to Lachis. Josu. 10:35
He went up also with all Israel from Eglon to Hebron, and fought against it: Josu. 10:36
Took it, and destroyed it with the edge of the sword: the king also thereof, and all the towns of that country, and all the souls that dwelt in it: he left not therein any remains: as he had done to Eglon, so did he also to Hebron, putting to the sword all that he found in it. Josu. 10:37
He took it, and destroyed it: the king also thereof, and all the towns round about, he destroyed with the edge of the sword: he left not in it any remains: as he had done to Hebron and Lebna, and to their kings, so did he to Dabir, and to the king thereof. Josu. 10:39
So Josue conquered all the country of the hills, and of the south, and of the plain, and of Asedoth, with their kings: he left not any remains therein, but slew all that breathed, as the Lord, the God of Israel, had commanded him. Josu. 10:40
And all their kings, and their lands he took and wasted at one onset: for the Lord the God of Israel fought for him. Josu. 10:42
And he returned with all Israel to the place of the camp in Galgal. Josu. 10:43
¤ And when Jabin king of Asor had heard these things, he sent to Jobab king of Madon, and to the king of Semeron, and to the king of Achsaph: Josu. 11:1
And the Lord delivered them into the hands of Israel. And they defeated them, and chased them as far as the great Sidon and the waters of Maserophot, and the field of Masphe, which is on the east thereof. He slew them all, so as to leave no remains of them: Josu. 11:8
And he did as the Lord had commanded him, he hamstringed their horses and burned their chariots. Josu. 11:9
And presently turning back he took Asor: and slew the king thereof with the sword. Now Asor of old was the head of all these kingdoms. Josu. 11:10
And he cut off all the souls that abode there: he left not in it any remains, but utterly destroyed all, and burned the city itself with fire. Josu. 11:11
And he took and put to the sword and destroyed all the cities round about, and their kings, as Moses the servant of God had commanded him. Josu. 11:12
Except the cities that were on hills and high places, the rest Israel burned: only Asor that was very strong he consumed with fire. Josu. 11:13
As the Lord had commanded Moses his servant, so did Moses command Josue, and he accomplished all: he left not one thing undone of all the commandments which the Lord had commanded Moses. Josu. 11:15
And part of the mountain that goeth up to Seir as far as Baalgad, by the plain of Libanus under mount Hermon: all their kings he took, smote and slew. Josu. 11:17
There was not a city that delivered itself to the children of Israel, except the Hevite, who dwelt in Gabaon: for he took all by fight. Josu. 11:19
He left not any of the stock of the Enacims, in the land of the children of Israel: except the cities of Gaza, and Geth, and Azotus, in which alone they were left. Josu. 11:22
Of all that dwell in the mountains from Libanus, to the waters of Maserephoth, and all the Sidonians. I am he that will cut them off from before the face of the children of Israel. So let their land come in as a part of the inheritance of Israel, as I have commanded thee. Josu. 13:6
All the kingdom of Og in Basan, who reigned in Astaroth and Edrai, he was of the remains of the Raphaims: and Moses overthrew and destroyed them. Josu. 13:12
But to the tribe of Levi he gave no possession: but the sacrifices and victims of the Lord God of Israel, are his inheritance, as he spoke to him. Josu. 13:14
He gave also to the half tribe of Manasses and his children possession according to their kindreds, Josu. 13:29
But to the tribe of Levi he gave no possession: because the Lord the God of Israel himself is their possession, as he spoke to them. Josu. 13:33
The Lord therefore hath granted me life, as he promised until this present day, It is forty and five years since the Lord spoke this word to Moses, when Israel journeyed through the wilderness: this day I am eighty-five years old, Josu. 14:10
Give me therefore this mountain, which the Lord promised, in thy hearing also, wherein are the Enacims, and cities great and strong: if so be the Lord will be with me, and I shall be able to destroy them, as he promised me. Josu. 14:12
And from that time Hebron belonged to Caleb the son of Jephone the Cenezite, until this present day: because he followed the Lord the God of Israel. Josu. 14:14
But to Caleb the son of Jephone he gave a portion in the midst of the children of Juda, as the Lord had commanded him: Cariath-Arbe the father of Enac, which is Hebron. Josu. 15:13
And going up from thence he came to the inhabitants of Dabir, which before was called Cariath-Sepher, that is to say, the city of letters. Josu. 15:15
And Caleb said: He that shall smite Cariath-Sepher, and take it, I will give him Axa my daughter to wife. Josu. 15:16
And Othoniel the son of Cenez, the younger brother of Caleb, took it: and he gave him Axa his daughter to wife. Josu. 15:17
¤ And this lot fell to the tribe of Manasses for he is the firstborn of Joseph to Machir the firstborn of Manasses the father of Galaad, who was a warlike man, and had for possession Galaad and Basan. Josu. 17:1
And they came in the presence of Eleazar the priest and of Josue the son of Nun, and of the princes, saying: The Lord commanded by the hand of Moses, that a possession should be given us in the midst of our brethren. And he gave them according to the commandment of the Lord a possession amongst the brethren of their father. Josu. 17:4
And he cast lots before the Lord in Silo, and divided the land to the children of Israel into seven parts. Josu. 18:10
And when he had made an end of dividing the land by lot to each one by their tribes, the children of Israel gave a possession to Josue the son of Nun in the midst of them, Josu. 19:49
According to the commandment of the Lord, the city which he asked for, Thamnath Saraa, in mount Ephraim: and he built up the city, and dwelt in it. Josu. 19:50
And when he shall flee to one of these cities: he shall stand before the gate of the city, and shall speak to the ancients of that city, such things as prove him innocent: and so shall they receive him, and give him a place to dwell in. Josu. 20:4
And when the avenger of blood shall pursue him, they shall not deliver him into his hands, because he slew his neighbour unawares, and is not proved to have been his enemy two or three days before, Josu. 20:5
And he shall dwell in that city, till he stand before judgment to give an account of his fact, and till the death of the high priest, who shall be at that time: then shall the manslayer return, and go into his own city and house from whence he fled. Josu. 20:6
These cities were appointed for all the children of Israel, and for the strangers, that dwelt among them, that whosoever had killed a person unawares might flee to them, and not die by the hand of the kinsman, coveting to revenge the blood that was shed, until he should stand before the people to lay open his cause. Josu. 20:9
But the fields and the villages thereof he had given to Caleb the son of Jephone for his possession. Josu. 21:12
He gave therefore to the children of Aaron the priest, Hebron a city of refuge, and the suburbs thereof, and Lebna with the suburbs thereof, Josu. 21:13
And the Lord God gave to Israel all the land that he had sworn to give to their fathers: and they possessed it, and dwelt in it. Josu. 21:43
And he gave them peace from all nations round about: and none of their enemies durst stand against them, but were brought under their dominion. Josu. 21:44
Not so much as one word, which he had promised to perform unto them, was made void, but all came to pass. Josu. 21:45
Therefore as the Lord your God hath given your brethren rest and peace, as he promised: return, and go to your dwellings, and to the land of your possession, which Moses the servant of the Lord gave you beyond the Jordan: Josu. 22:4
Now to half the tribe of Manasses, Moses had given a possession in Basan: and therefore to the half that remained, Josue gave a lot among the rest of their brethren beyond the Jordan to the west. And when he sent them away to their dwellings and had blessed them, Josu. 22:7
He said to them: With much substance and riches, you return to your settlements, with silver and gold, brass and iron, and variety of raiment: divide the prey of your enemies with your brethren. Josu. 22:8
Did not Achan the son of Zare transgress the commandment of the Lord, and his wrath lay upon all the people of Israel? And he was but one man, and would to God he alone had perished in his wickedness. Josu. 22:20
The Lord the most mighty God, the Lord the most mighty God, he knoweth, and Israel also shall understand: If with the design of transgression we have set up this altar, let him not save us, but punish us immediately: Josu. 22:22
And he returned with the princes from the children of Ruben and Gad, out of the land of Galaad, into the land of Chanaan, to the children of Israel, and brought them word again. Josu. 22:32
And you see all that the Lord your God hath done to all the nations round about, how he himself hath fought for you: Josu. 23:3
And now since he hath divided to you by lot all the land, from the east of the Jordan unto the great sea, and many nations yet remain: Josu. 23:4
The Lord your God will destroy them, and take them away from before your face, and you shall possess the land as he hath promised you. Josu. 23:5
One of you shall chase a thousand men of the enemies: because the Lord your God himself will fight for you, as he hath promised. Josu. 23:10
Know ye for a certainty that the Lord your God will not destroy them before your face, but they shall be a pit and a snare in your way, and a stumbling-block at your side, and stakes in your eyes, till he take you away and destroy you from off this excellent land, which he hath given you. Josu. 23:13
Therefore as he hath fulfilled in deed, what he promised, and all things prosperous have come: so will he bring upon you all the evils he hath threatened, till he take you away and destroy you from off this excellent land, which he hath given you, Josu. 23:15
When you shall have transgressed the covenant of the Lord your God, which he hath made with you, and shall have served strange gods, and adored them: then shall the indignation of the Lord rise up quickly and speedily against you, and you shall be taken away from this excellent land, which he hath delivered to you. Josu. 23:16
And he spoke thus to the people: Thus saith the Lord the God of Israel: Your fathers dwelt of old on the other side of the river, Thare the father of Abraham, and Nachor: and they served strange gods. Josu. 24:2
And the children of Israel cried to the Lord: and he put darkness between you and the Egyptians, and brought the sea upon them, and covered them. Your eyes saw all that I did in Egypt, and you dwelt in the wilderness a long time. Josu. 24:7
And Balac son of Sephor king of Moab arose and fought against Israel. And he sent and called for Balaam son of Beor, to curse you: Josu. 24:9
The Lord our God he brought us and our fathers out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage: and did very great signs in our sight, and preserved us in all the way by which we journeyed, and among all the people through whom we passed. Josu. 24:17
And he hath cast out all the nations, the Amorrhite the inhabitant of the land into which we are come. Therefore we will serve the Lord, for he is our God. Josu. 24:18
And Josue said to the people: You will not be able to serve the Lord: for he is a holy God, and mighty and jealous, and will not forgive your wickedness and sins. Josu. 24:19
If you leave the Lord, and serve strange gods, he will turn, and will afflict you, and will destroy you after all the good he hath done you. Josu. 24:20
Now therefore, said he, put away strange gods from among you, and incline your hearts to the Lord the God of Israel. Josu. 24:23
And he wrote all these things in the volume of the law of the Lord: and he took a great stone, and set it under the oak that was in the sanctuary of the Lord. Josu. 24:26
And he said to all the people: Behold this stone shall be a testimony unto you, that it hath heard all the words of the Lord, which he hath spoken to you: lest perhaps hereafter you will deny it, and lie to the Lord your God. Josu. 24:27
And he sent the people away every one to their own possession, Josu. 24:28
And Israel served the Lord all the days of Josue, and of the ancients that lived a long time after Josue, and that had known all the works of the Lord which he had done in Israel. Josu. 24:31
And Adonibezec said: Seventy kings, having their fingers and toes cut off, gathered up the leavings of the meat under my table: as I have done, so hath God requited me. And they brought him to Jerusalem, and he died there. Judg. 1:7
And departing from thence, he went to the inhabitants of Dabir, the ancient name of which was Cariath-Sepher, that is, the city of letters. Judg. 1:11
And Caleb said: He that shall take Cariath-Sepher, and lay it waste, to him will I give my daughter Axa to wife. Judg. 1:12
And Othoniel, the son of Cenez, the younger brother of Caleb, having taken it, he gave him Axa his daughter to wife. Judg. 1:13
And the Lord was with Juda, and he possessed the hill country: but was not able to destroy the inhabitants of the valley, because they had many chariots armed with scythes. Judg. 1:19
And when he had shewed them, they smote the city with the edge of the sword: but that man, and all his kindred, they let go: Judg. 1:25
But after Israel was grown strong, he made them tributaries, and would not destroy them. Judg. 1:28
And he dwelt in the midst of the Chanaanites, the inhabitants of that land, and did not slay them. Judg. 1:32
Nephthali also destroyed not the inhabitants of Bethsames, and of Bethanath: and he dwelt in the midst of the Chanaanites, the inhabitants of the land, and the Bethsamites and Bethanites were tributaries to him. Judg. 1:33
And he dwelt in the mountain Hares, that is, of potsherds, in Aialon and Salebim. And the hand of the house of Joseph was heavy upon him, and he became tributary to him. Judg. 1:35
And they served the Lord all his days, and the days of the ancients, that lived a long time after him, and who knew all the works of the Lord, which he had done for Israel. Judg. 2:7
And all that generation was gathered to their fathers: and there arose others that knew not the Lord and the works which he had done for Israel. Judg. 2:10
But whithersoever they meant to go, the hand of the Lord was upon them, as he had said, and as he had sworn to them: and they were greatly distressed. Judg. 2:15
And when the Lord raised them up judges, in their days, he was moved to mercy, and heard the groanings of the afflicted, and delivered them from the slaughter of the oppressors. Judg. 2:18
And the wrath of the Lord was kindled against Israel, and he said: Behold this nation hath made void my covenant, which I had made with their fathers, and hath despised to hearken to my voice: Judg. 2:20
I also will not destroy the nations which Josue left when he died: Judg. 2:21
The Lord therefore left all these nations, and would not quickly destroy them, neither did he deliver them into the hands of Josue. Judg. 2:23
¤ These are the nations which the Lord left, that by them he might instruct Israel, and all that had not known the wars of the Chanaanites: Judg. 3:1
And he left them, that he might try Israel by them, whether they would hear the commandments of the Lord, which he had commanded their fathers, by the hand of Moses, or not. Judg. 3:4
And the spirit of the Lord was in him, and he judged Israel. And he went out to fight, and the Lord delivered into his hands Chusan Rasathaim, king of Syria, and he overthrew him: Judg. 3:10
And he joined to him the children of Ammon, and Amalec: and he went and overthrew Israel, and possessed the city of palm trees. Judg. 3:13
And he made himself a two-edged sword, with a haft in the midst of the length of the palm of the hand, and was girded therewith, under his garment, on the right thigh. Judg. 3:16
And he presented the gifts to Eglon, king of Moab Now Eglon was exceeding fat. Judg. 3:17
And when he had presented the gifts unto him he followed his companions that came along with him. Judg. 3:18
Then returning from Galgal, where the idols were, he said to the king: I have a secret message to thee, O king. And he commanded silence: and all being gone out that were about him, Judg. 3:19
Aod went in to him: now he was sitting in a summer parlour alone, and he said: I have a word from God to thee. And he forthwith rose up from his throne. Judg. 3:20
With such force that the haft went in after the blade into the wound, and was closed up with the abundance of fat. So that he did not draw out the dagger, but left it in the body as he had struck it in: and forthwith, by the secret parts of nature, the excrements of the belly came out. Judg. 3:22
Went out by a postern door. And the king's servants going in, saw the doors of the parlour shut, and they said: Perhaps he is easing nature in his summer parlour. Judg. 3:24
But Aod, while they were in confusion, escaped, and passed by the place of the idols from whence he had returned. And he came to Seirath: Judg. 3:26
And forthwith he sounded the trumpet in Mount Ephraim: and the children of Israel went down with him, he himself going in the front. Judg. 3:27
And he said to them: Follow me: for the Lord hath delivered our enemies, the Moabites, into our hands. And they went down after him, and seized upon the fords of the Jordan, which are in the way to Moab: and they suffered no man to pass over: Judg. 3:28
After him was Samgar, the son of Anath, who slew of the Philistines six hundred men with a ploughshare: and he also defended Israel. Judg. 3:31
And the Lord delivered them up into the hands of Jabin, king of Chanaan, who reigned in Asor: and he had a general of his army named Sisara, and he dwelt in Haroseth of the Gentiles. Judg. 4:2
And the children of Israel cried to the Lord: for he had nine hundred chariots set with scythes and for twenty years had grievously oppressed them. Judg. 4:3
And he called unto him Zabulon and Nephthali, and went up with ten thousand fighting men, having Debbora in his company. Judg. 4:10
And he gathered together his nine hundred chariots armed with scythes, and all his army, from Haroseth of the Gentiles, to the torrent Cison. Judg. 4:13
And Debbora said to Barac: Arise, for this is the day wherein the Lord hath delivered Sisara into thy hands: behold, he is thy leader. And Barac went down from Mount Thabor, and ten thousand fighting men with him. Judg. 4:14
And Jahel went forth to meet Sisara, and said to him: Come in to me, my lord; come in, fear not. He went into her tent, and being covered by her with a cloak, Judg. 4:18
So Jahel, Haber's wife, took a nail of the tent, and taking also a hammer: and going in softly, and with silence, she put the nail upon the temples of his head, and striking it with the hammer, drove it through his brain fast into the ground: and so passing from deep sleep to death, he fainted away and died. Judg. 4:21
And behold, Barac came pursuing after Sisara: and Jahel went out to meet him, and said to him: Come, and I will shew thee the man whom thou seekest. And when he came into her tent, he saw Sisara lying dead, and the nail fastened in his temples. Judg. 4:22
The Lord chose new wars, and he himself overthrew the gates of the enemies: a shield and spear was not seen among forty thousand of Israel. Judg. 5:8
Out of Ephraim he destroyed them into Amalec, and after him out of Benjamin into thy people, O Amalec: Out of Machir there came down princes, and out of Zabulon they that led the army to fight. Judg. 5:14
He asked her water, and she gave him milk, and offered him butter in a dish fit for princes. Judg. 5:25
At her feet he fell: he fainted, and he died: he rolled before her feet, and there he lay lifeless and wretched. Judg. 5:27
Perhaps he is now dividing the spoils, and the fairest of the women is chosen out for him: garments of divers colours are given to Sisara for his prey, and furniture of different kinds is heaped together to adorn the necks. Judg. 5:30
¤ And the children of Israel again did evil in the sight of the Lord: and he delivered them into the hand of Madian seven years, Judg. 6:1
And he cried to the Lord, desiring help against the Madianites. Judg. 6:7
And he sent unto them a prophet, and he spoke: Thus saith the Lord, the God of Israel: I made you to come up out of Egypt, and brought you out of the house of bondage, Judg. 6:8
He answered, and said: I beseech thee, my lord wherewith shall I deliver Israel? Behold, my family is the meanest in Manasses, and I am the least in my father's house. Judg. 6:15
And he said: If I have found grace before thee, give me a sign that it is thou that speakest to me: Judg. 6:17
And depart not hence, till I return to thee, and bring a sacrifice, and offer it to thee. And he answered: I will wait thy coming. Judg. 6:18
So Gedeon went in, and boiled a kid, and made unleavened loaves of a measure of flour: and putting the flesh in a basket, and the broth of the flesh into a pot, he carried all under the oak, and presented to him. Judg. 6:19
And the angel of the Lord said to him: Take the flesh and the unleavened loaves, and lay them upon that rock, and pour out the broth thereon. And when he had done so, Judg. 6:20
The angel of the Lord put forth the tip of the rod, which he held in his hand, and touched the flesh and the unleavened loaves: and there arose a fire from the rock, and consumed the flesh and the unleavened loaves: and the angel of the Lord vanished out of his sight. Judg. 6:21
And Gedeon built there an altar to the Lord, and called it the Lord's peace, until this present day. And when he was yet in Ephra, which is of the family of Ezri, Judg. 6:24
Then Gedeon, taking ten men of his servants, did as the Lord had commanded him. But fearing his father's house, and the men of that city, he would not do it by day, but did all by night. Judg. 6:27
And they said to Joas: Bring out thy son hither, that he may die: because he hath destroyed the altar of Baal, and hath cut down his grove. Judg. 6:30
He answered them: Are you the avengers of Baal, that you fight for him? he that is his adversary, let him die before to morrow light appear: if he be a god, let him revenge himself on him that hath cast down his altar. Judg. 6:31
But the spirit of the Lord came upon Gedeon, and he sounded the trumpet, and called together the house of Abiezer, to follow him. Judg. 6:34
And he sent messengers into all Manasses, and they also followed him : and other messengers into Aser and Zabulon, and Nephthali, and they came to meet him. Judg. 6:35
And it was so. And rising before day, wringing the fleece, he filled a vessel with the dew. Judg. 6:38
And he said again to God: Let not thy wrath be kindled against me, if I try once more, seeking a sign in the fleece. I pray that the fleece only may be dry, and all the ground wet with dew. Judg. 6:39
And God did that night as he had requested: and it was dry on the fleece only, and there was dew on all the ground. Judg. 6:40
So taking victuals and trumpets according to their number, he ordered all the rest of the multitude to depart to their tents: and he with the three hundred gave himself to the battle. Now the camp of Madia was beneath him in the valley. Judg. 7:8
And when thou shalt hear what they are saying, then shall thy hands be strengthened, and thou shalt go down more secure to the enemies' camp. And he went down with Phara his servant, into part of the camp, where was the watch of men in arms. Judg. 7:11
And when Gedeon was come, one told his neighbour a dream: and in this manner related what he had seen: I dreamt a dream, and it seemed to me as if a hearth cake of barley bread rolled and came down into the camp of Madian: and when it was come to a tent, it struck it, and beat it down flat to the ground. Judg. 7:13
He to whom he spoke, answered: This is nothing else but the sword of Gedeon, the son of Joas, a man of Israel. For the Lord hath delivered Madian, and all their camp into his hand. Judg. 7:14
And when Gedeon had heard the dream, and the interpretation thereof, he adored: and returned to the camp of Israel, and said: Arise, for the Lord hath delivered the camp of Madian into our hands. Judg. 7:15
And he divided the three hundred men into three parts, and gave them trumpets in their hands, and empty pitchers, and lamps within the pitchers. Judg. 7:16
And he said to them: What you shall see me do, do you the same: I will go into one part of the camp, and do you as I shall do. Judg. 7:17
And he answered them: What could I have done like to that which you have done? Is not one bunch of grapes of Ephraim better than the vintages of Abiezer? Judg. 8:2
The Lord hath delivered into your hands the princes of Madian, Oreb and Zeb: what could I have done like to what you have done? And when he had said this, their spirit was appeased, with which they swelled against him. Judg. 8:3
And when Gedeon was come to the Jordan, he passed over it with the three hundred men that were with him: who were so weary that they could not pursue after them that fled. Judg. 8:4
And he said to the men of Soccoth: Give, I beseech you, bread to the people that is with me, for they are faint: that we may pursue Zebee, and Salmana, the kings of Madian. Judg. 8:5
And he said to them: When the Lord therefore shall have delivered Zebee and Salmana into my hands, I will thresh your flesh with the thorns and briers of the desert. Judg. 8:7
And going up from thence, he came to Phanuel: and he spoke the like things to the men of that place. And they also answered him, as the men of Soccoth had answered. Judg. 8:8
He said, therefore, to them also: When I shall return a conqueror in peace, I will destroy this tower. Judg. 8:9
He took a boy of the men of Soccoth: and he asked him the names of the princes and ancients of Soccoth, and he described unto him seventy-seven men. Judg. 8:14
And he came to Soccoth, and said to them: Behold Zebee, and Salmana, concerning whom you upbraided me, saying: Peradventure the hands of Zebee and Salmana are in thy hands, and therefore thou demandest that we should give bread to the men that are weary and faint. Judg. 8:15
So he took the ancients of the city, and thorns and briers of the desert, and tore them with the same, and cut in pieces the men of Soccoth. Judg. 8:16
And he demolished the tower of Phanuel, and slew the men of the city. Judg. 8:17
And he said to Zebee and Salmana: What manner of men were they, whom you slew in Thabor? They answered: They were like thee, and one of them as the son of a king. Judg. 8:18
He answered them: They were my brethren, the sons of my mother. As the Lord liveth, if you had saved them, I would not kill you. Judg. 8:19
And he said to Jether, his eldest son: Arise, and slay them. But he drew not his sword: for he was afraid, being but yet a boy. Judg. 8:20
And Zebee and Salmana said: Do thou rise and run upon us: because the strength of a man is according to his age: Gedeon rose up, and slew Zebee and Salmana: and he took the ornaments and bosses, with which the necks of the camels of kings are wont to be adorned. Judg. 8:21
And he said to them: I will not rule over you, neither shall my son rule over you, but the Lord shall rule over you. Judg. 8:23
And he said to them: I desire one request of you: Give me the earlets of your spoils. For the Ismaelites were accustomed to wear golden earlets. Judg. 8:24
And the weight of the earlets that he requested, was a thousand seven hundred sicles of gold, besides the ornaments, and jewels, and purple raiment, which the kings of Madian were wont to use, and besides the golden chains that were about the camels' necks. Judg. 8:26
And he had seventy sons, who came out of his thigh, for he had many wives. Judg. 8:30
And his concubine, that he had in Sichem, bore him a son, whose name was Abimelech. Judg. 8:31
But after Gedeon was dead, the children of Israel turned again, and committed fornication with Baalim. And they made a covenant with Baal, that he should be their god: Judg. 8:33
Neither did they shew mercy to the house of Jerobaal Gedeon, according to all the good things he had done to Israel. Judg. 8:35
And his mother's brethren spoke of him to all the men of Sichem, all these words, and they inclined their hearts after Abimelech, saying: He is our brother: Judg. 9:3
And they gave him seventy weight of silver out of the temple of Baalberith: wherewith he hired to himself men that were needy, and vagabonds, and they followed him. Judg. 9:4
And he came to his father's house in Ephra, and slew his brethren, the sons of Jerobaal, seventy men, upon one stone: and there remained only Joatham, the youngest son of Jerobaal, who was hidden. Judg. 9:5
This being told to Joatham, he went, and stood on the top of Mount Garizim: and lifting up his voice, he cried, and said: Hear me, ye men of Sichem, so may God hear you. Judg. 9:7
And you are now risen up against my father's house, and have killed his sons, seventy men, upon one stone, and have made Abimelech, the son of his handmaid, king over the inhabitants of Sichem, because he is your brother: Judg. 9:18
If therefore you have dealt well, and without fault, with Jerobaal and his house, rejoice ye, this day, in Abimelech, and may he rejoice in you. Judg. 9:19
And when he had said thus, he fled, and went into Bera: and dwelt there for fear of Abimelech, his brother. Judg. 9:21
And Gaal, the son of Obed, cried: Who is Abimelech, and what is Sichem, that we should serve him? Is he not the son of Jerobaal, and hath made Zebul, his servant, ruler over the men of Emor, the father of Sichem? Why then shall we serve him? Judg. 9:28
And betimes in the morning, at sun rising, set upon the city, and when he shall come out against thee, with his people, do to him what thou shalt be able. Judg. 9:33
And when Gaal saw the people, he said to Zebul: Behold, a multitude cometh down from the mountains. And he answered him: Thou seest the shadows of the mountains as if they were the heads of men, and this is thy mistake. Judg. 9:36
And he took his army, and divided it into three companies, and laid ambushes in the fields. And seeing that the people came out of the city, he arose, and set upon them, Judg. 9:43
And Abimelech assaulted the city all that day: and took it, and killed the inhabitants thereof, and demolished it, so that he sowed salt in it. Judg. 9:45
Went up into mount Selmon, he and all his people with him: and taking an axe, he cut down the bough of a tree, and laying it on his shoulder, and carrying it, he said to his companions: What you see me do, do ye out of hand. Judg. 9:48
So they cut down boughs from the trees, every man as fast as he could, and followed their leader. And surrounding the fort, they set it on fire: and so it came to pass, that with the smoke and with the fire a thousand persons were killed, men and women together, of the inhabitants of the tower of Sichem. Judg. 9:49
Then Abimelech, departing from thence, came to the town of Thebes, which he surrounded and besieged with his army. Judg. 9:50
And he called hastily to his armourbearer, and said to him: Draw thy sword, and kill me: lest it should be said that I was slain by a woman. He did as he was commanded, and slew him. Judg. 9:54
And when he was dead all the men of Israel that were with him, returned to their homes. Judg. 9:55
And he judged Israel three and twenty years, and he died, and was buried in Samir. Judg. 10:2
And saying these things, they cast away out of their coasts all the idols of strange gods, and served the Lord their God: and he was touched with their miseries. Judg. 10:16
And the princes of Galaad said one to another: Whosoever of us shall first begin to fight against the children of Ammon, he shall be the leader of the people of Galaad. Judg. 10:18
Now Galaad had a wife of whom he had sons: who, after they were grown up, thrust out Jephte, saying: Thou canst not inherit in the house of our father, because thou art born of another mother. Judg. 11:2
Then he fled and avoided them, and dwelt in the land of Tob: and there were gathered to him needy men and robbers, and they followed him as their prince. Judg. 11:3
And he answered them: Are not you the men that hated me, and cast me out of my father's house, and now you are come to me, constrained by necessity? Judg. 11:7
They answered him: The Lord, who heareth these things, he himself is mediator and witness that we will do as we have promised. Judg. 11:10
And he sent messengers to the king of the children of Ammon, to say in his name: What hast thou to do with me, that thou art come against me, to waste my land? Judg. 11:12
And he answered them: Because Israel took away my land, when he came up out of Egypt, from the confines of the Arnon unto the Jaboc and the Jordan: now, therefore, restore the same peaceably to me. Judg. 11:13
But when they came up out of Egypt, he walked through the desert to the Red Sea, and came into Cades. Judg. 11:16
And he sent messengers to the king of Edom, saying: Suffer me to pass through thy land. But he would not condescend to his request. He sent also to the king of Moab, who, likewise, refused to give him passage. He abode, therefore, in Cades, Judg. 11:17
And went round the land of Edom at the side, and the land of Moab: and came over against the east coast of the land of Moab, and camped on the other side of the Arnon: and he would not enter the bounds of Moab. Judg. 11:18
But he, also despising the words of Israel, suffered him not to pass through his borders: but gathering an infinite multitude, went out against him to Jasa, and made strong opposition. Judg. 11:20
And the Lord delivered him, with all his army, into the hands of Israel, and he slew him, and possessed all the land of the Amorrhite, the inhabitant of that country, Judg. 11:21
Unless, perhaps, thou art better than Balac, the son of Sephor, king of Moab: or canst shew that he strove against Israel, and fought against him, Judg. 11:25
Whereas he hath dwelt in Hesebon, and the villages thereof, and in Aroer, and its villages, and in all the cities near the Jordan, for three hundred years. Why have you for so long a time attempted nothing about this claim? Judg. 11:26
And the king of the children of Ammon would not hearken to the words of Jephte, which he sent him by the messengers. Judg. 11:28
He made a vow to the Lord, saying: If thou wilt deliver the children of Ammon into my hands, Judg. 11:30
And he smote them from Aroer till you come to Mennith, twenty cities, and as far as Abel, which is set with vineyards, with a very great slaughter: and the children of Ammon were humbled by the children of Israel. Judg. 11:33
And when Jephte returned into Maspha, to his house, his only daughter met him with timbrels and with dances: for he had no other children. Judg. 11:34
And when he saw her, he rent his garments, and said: Alas! my daughter, thou hast deceived me, and thou thyself art deceived: for I have opened my mouth to the Lord, and I can do no other thing. Judg. 11:35
And he answered her: Go. And he sent her away for two months. And when she was gone with her comrades and companions, she mourned her virginity in the mountains. Judg. 11:38
And the two months being expired, she returned to her father, and he did to her as he had vowed, and she knew no man. From thence came a fashion in Israel, and a custom has been kept: Judg. 11:39
And he answered them: I and my people were at great strife with the children of Ammon: and I called you to assist me, and you would not do it. Judg. 12:2
Then calling to him all the men of Galaad, he fought against Ephraim: and the men of Galaad defeated Ephraim, because he had said: Galaad is a fugitive of Ephraim, and dwelleth in the midst of Ephraim and Manasses. Judg. 12:4
And the Galaadites secured the fords of the Jordan, by which Ephraim was to return. And when any one of the number of Ephraim came thither in the flight, and said: I beseech you let me pass: the Galaadites said to him: Art thou not an Ephraimite? If he said: I am not: Judg. 12:5
They asked him: Say then, Scibboleth, which is interpreted, An ear of corn. But he answered, Sibboleth, not being able to express an ear of corn by the same letter. Then presently they took him and killed him in the very passage of the Jordan. And there fell at that time of Ephraim, two and forty thousand. Judg. 12:6
And Jephte, the Galaadite, judged Israel six years: and he died, and was buried in his city of Galaad. Judg. 12:7
He had thirty sons, and as many daughters, whom he sent abroad, and gave to husbands, and took wives for his sons, of the same number, bringing them into his house. And he judged Israel seven years: Judg. 12:9
And he died, and was buried in Bethlehem. Judg. 12:10
To him succeeded Ahialon, a Zabulonite: and he judged Israel ten years: Judg. 12:11
And he died, and was buried in Zabulon. Judg. 12:12
And he had forty sons, and of them thirty grandsons, mounted upon seventy ass colts, and he judged Israel eight years: Judg. 12:14
And he died, and was buried in Pharathon, in the land of Ephraim, in the mount of Amalech. Judg. 12:15
¤ And the children of Israel did evil again in the sight of the Lord: and he delivered them into the hands of the Philistines forty years. Judg. 13:1
Because thou shalt conceive, and bear a son, and no razor shall touch his head: for he shall be a Nazarite of God, from his infancy, and from his mother's womb, and he shall begin to deliver Israel from the hands of the Philistines. Judg. 13:5
And when she was come to her husband, she said to him: A man of God came to me, having the countenance of an angel, very awful. And when I asked him whence he came, and by what name he was called, he would not tell me: Judg. 13:6
But he answered thus: Behold thou shalt conceive and bear a son: beware thou drink no wine, nor strong drink, nor eat any unclean thing: for the child shall be a Nazarite of God from his infancy, from his mother's womb until the day of his death. Judg. 13:7
He rose up, and followed his wife: and coming to the man, said to him: Art thou he that spoke to the woman? And he answered: I am. Judg. 13:11
And Manue said to him: When thy word shall come to pass, what wilt thou that the child should do? or from what shall he keep himself? Judg. 13:12
And he said to him: What is thy name, that, if thy word shall come to pass, we may honour thee? Judg. 13:17
And he answered him: Why askest thou my name, which is wonderful? Judg. 13:18
Then Manue took a kid of the flocks, and the libations, and put them upon a rock, offering to the Lord, who doth wonderful things: and he and his wife looked on. Judg. 13:19
And he said to his wife: We shall certainly die, because we have seen God. Judg. 13:22
And his wife answered him: If the Lord had a mind to kill us, he would not have received a holocaust and libations at our hands; neither would he have shewed us all these things, nor have told us the things that are to come. Judg. 13:23
He came up, and told his father and his mother, saying: I saw a woman in Thamnatha of the daughters of the Philistines: I beseech you, take her for me to wife. Judg. 14:2
Now his parents knew not that the thing was done by the Lord, and that he sought an occasion against the Philistines: for at that time the Philistines had dominion over Israel. Judg. 14:4
And the Spirit of the Lord came upon Samson, and he tore the lion as he would have torn a kid in pieces, having nothing at all in his hand: and he would not tell this to his father and mother. Judg. 14:6
And he went down, and spoke to the woman that had pleased his eyes. Judg. 14:7
And after some days, returning to take her, he went aside to see the carcass of the lion, and behold there was a swarm of bees in the mouth of the lion, and a honey-comb. Judg. 14:8
And when he had taken it in his hands, he went on eating: and coming to his father and mother, he gave them of it, and they ate: but he would not tell them that he had taken the honey from the body of the lion. Judg. 14:9
And he said to them: Out of the eater came forth meat, and out of the strong came forth sweetness. And they could not in three days expound the riddle. Judg. 14:14
So she wept before Samson and complained, saying: Thou hatest me, and dost not love me: therefore thou wilt not expound to me the riddle, which thou hast proposed to the sons of my people. But he answered: I would not tell it to my father and mother: and how can I tell it to thee? Judg. 14:16
So she wept before him the seven days of the feast: and, at length, on the seventh day, as she was troublesome to him, he expounded it. And she immediately told her countrymen. Judg. 14:17
And they, on the seventh day before the sun went down, said to him: What is sweeter than honey? and what is stronger than a lion? And he said to them: If you had not ploughed with my heifer, you had not found out my riddle. Judg. 14:18
And the Spirit of the Lord came upon him, and he went down to Ascalon, and slew there thirty men whose garments he took away, and gave to them that had declared the riddle. And being exceeding angry, he went up to his father's house: Judg. 14:19
¤ And a while after, when the days of the wheat harvest were at hand, Samson came, meaning to visit his wife, and he brought her a kid of the flock. And when he would have gone into her chamber, as usual, her father would not suffer him, saying: Judg. 15:1
And he went and caught three hundred foxes, and coupled them tail to tail, and fastened torches between the tails: Judg. 15:4
And setting them on fire he let the foxes go, that they might run about hither and thither. And they presently went into the standing corn of the Philistines. Which being set on fire, both the corn that was already carried together, and that which was yet standing, was all burnt, insomuch that the flame consumed also the vineyards and the oliveyards. Judg. 15:5
Then the Philistines said: Who hath done this thing? And it was answered: Samson, the son in law of the Thamnathite, because he took away his wife, and gave her to another, hath done these things. And the Philistines went up and burnt both the woman and her father. Judg. 15:6
And he made a great slaughter of them, so that in astonishment they laid the calf of the leg upon the thigh. And going down he dwelt in a cavern of the rock Etam. Judg. 15:8
And the men of the tribe of Juda said to them: Why are you come up against us? They answered: We are come to bind Samson, and to pay him for what he hath done against us. Judg. 15:10
Wherefore three thousand men of Juda went down to the cave of the rock Etam, and said to Samson: Knowest thou not that the Philistines rule over us? Why wouldst thou do thus? And he said to them: As they did to me, so have I done to them. Judg. 15:11
Now when he was come to the place of the Jawbone, and the Philistines shouting went to meet him, the Spirit of the Lord came strongly upon him: and as flax is wont to be consumed at the approach of fire, so the bands with which he was bound were broken and loosed. Judg. 15:14
And finding a jawbone, even the jawbone of an ass, which lay there, catching it up, he slew therewith a thousand men. Judg. 15:15
And he said: With the jawbone of an ass, with the jaw of the colt of asses, I have destroyed them, and have slain a thousand men. Judg. 15:16
And when he had ended these words, singing, he threw the jawbone out of his hand, and called the name of that place Ramathlechi, which is interpreted the lifting up of the jawbone. Judg. 15:17
And being very thirsty, he cried to the Lord, and said: Thou hast given this very great deliverance and victory into the hand of thy servant: and behold I die for thirst, and shall fall into the hands of the uncircumcised. Judg. 15:18
Then the Lord opened a great tooth in the jaw of the ass and waters issued out of it. And when he had drunk them, he refreshed his spirit, and recovered his strength. Therefore the name of that place was called The Spring of him that invoked from the jawbone, until this present day. Judg. 15:19
And he judged Israel, in the days of the Philistines, twenty years. Judg. 15:20
¤ He went also into Gaza, and saw there a woman, a harlot, and went in unto her. Judg. 16:1
And when the Philistines had heard this, and it was noised about among them, that Samson was come into the city, they surrounded him, setting guards at the gate of the city, and watching there all the night in silence, that in the morning they might kill him as he went out. Judg. 16:2
But Samson slept till midnight, and then rising, he took both the doors of the gate, with the posts thereof and the bolt, and laying them on his shoulders, carried them up to the top of the hill, which looketh towards Hebron. Judg. 16:3
After this he loved a woman, who dwelt in the valley of Sorec, and she was called Dalila. Judg. 16:4
And the princes of the Philistines brought unto her seven cords, such as he spoke of, with which she bound him; Judg. 16:8
Men lying privately in wait with her, and in the chamber, expecting the event of the thing, and she cried out to him: The Philistines are upon thee, Samson. And he broke the bands, as a man would break a thread of tow twined with spittle, when it smelleth the fire: so it was not known wherein his strength lay. Judg. 16:9
And he answered her: If I shall be bound with new ropes, that were never in work, I shall be weak and like other men. Judg. 16:11
Dalila bound him again with these, and cried out: The Philistines are upon thee, Samson, there being an ambush prepared for him in the chamber. But he broke the bands like threads of webs. Judg. 16:12
And when Dalila had done this, she said to him: The Philistines are upon thee, Samson. And awaking out of his sleep, he drew out the nail with the hairs and the lace. Judg. 16:14
Then opening the truth of the thing, he said to her: The razor hath never come upon my head, for I am a Nazarite, that is to say, consecrated to God from my mother's womb: If my head be shaven, my strength shall depart from me, and I shall become weak, and shall be like other men. Judg. 16:17
Then seeing that he had discovered to her all his mind, she sent to the princes of the Philistines, saying: Come up this once more, for now he hath opened his heart to me. And they went up, taking with them the money which they had promised. Judg. 16:18
And she said: The Philistines are upon thee, Samson. And awaking from sleep, he said in his mind: I will go out as I did before, and shake myself, not knowing that the Lord was departed from him. Judg. 16:20
And rejoicing in their feasts, when they had now taken their good cheer, they commanded that Samson should be called, and should play before them. And being brought out of prison, he played before them; and they made him stand between two pillars. Judg. 16:25
And he said to the lad that guided his steps: Suffer me to touch the pillars which support the whole house, and let me lean upon them, and rest a little. Judg. 16:26
But he called upon the Lord, saying: O Lord God remember me, and restore to me now my former strength, O my God, that I may revenge myself on my enemies, and for the loss of my two eyes I may take one revenge. Judg. 16:28
He said: Let me die with the Philistines. And when he had strongly shook the pillars, the house fell upon all the princes, and the rest of the multitude, that was there: and he killed many more at his death, than he had killed before in his life. Judg. 16:30
And his brethren and all his kindred, going down took his body, and buried it between Saraa and Esthaol, in the buryingplace of his father Manue: and he judged Israel twenty years. Judg. 16:31
So he restored them to his mother, who said to him: I have consecrated and vowed this silver to the Lord, that my son may receive it at my hand, and make a graven and a molten god; so now I deliver it to thee. Judg. 17:3
And he restored them to his mother: and she took two hundred pieces of silver and gave them to the silversmith, to make of them a graven and a molten God, which was in the house of Michas. Judg. 17:4
And he separated also therein a little temple for the god, and made an ephod, and theraphim, that is to say, a priestly garment, and idols: and he filled the hand of one of his sons, and he became his priest. Judg. 17:5
There was also another young man of Bethlehem Juda, of the kindred thereof: and he was a Levite, and dwelt there. Judg. 17:7
Now he went out from the city of Bethlehem, and desired to sojourn wheresoever he should find it convenient for him. And when he was come to mount Ephraim, as he was on his journey, and had turned aside a little into the house of Michas, Judg. 17:8
He was asked by him whence he came. And he answered: I am a Levite of Bethlehem Juda, and I am going to dwell where I can, and where I shall find a place to my advantage. Judg. 17:9
He was content, and abode with the man, and was unto him as one of his sons. Judg. 17:11
He answered them: Michas hath done such and such things for me, and hath hired me to be his priest. Judg. 18:4
He answered them: Go in peace: the Lord looketh on your way, and the journey that you go. Judg. 18:6
When he heard this, he agreed to their words, and took the ephod, and the idols, and the graven god, and departed with them. Judg. 18:20
And he answered: You have taken away my gods which I have made me, and the priest, and all that I have, and do you say: What aileth thee? Judg. 18:24
And so they went on the journey they had begun. But Michas seeing that they were stronger than he, returned to his house. Judg. 18:26
And they set up to themselves the graven idol, and Jonathan the son of Gersam, the son of Moses, he and his sons were priests in the tribe of Dan, until the day of their captivity. Judg. 18:30
And her husband followed her, willing to be reconciled with her, and to speak kindly to her, and to bring her back with him, having with him a servant and two asses: and she received him, and brought him into her father's house. And when his father in law had heard this, and had seen him, he met him with joy, Judg. 19:3
But on the fourth day, arising early in the morning, he desired to depart. But his father in law kept him, and said to him: Taste first a little bread, and strengthen thy stomach, and so thou shalt depart. Judg. 19:5
But he rising up, began to be for departing. And nevertheless his father in law earnestly pressed him, and made him stay with him. Judg. 19:7
And behold they saw an old man, returning out of the field and from his work in the evening, and he also was of mount Ephraim, and dwelt as a stranger in Gabaa; but the men of that country were the children of Jemini. Judg. 19:16
He answered him: We came out from Bethlehem Juda, and we are going to our home, which is on the side of mount Ephraim, from whence we went to Bethlehem: and now we go to the house of God, and none will receive us under his roof: Judg. 19:18
And he brought him into his house, and gave provender to his asses: and after they had washed their feet, he entertained them with a feast. Judg. 19:21
And in the morning the man arose, and opened the door, that he might end the journey he had begun: and behold his concubine lay before the door with her hands spread on the threshold. Judg. 19:27
He thinking she was taking her rest, said to her: Arise, and let us be going. But as she made no answer, perceiving she was dead, he took her up, and laid her upon his ass, and returned to his house. Judg. 19:28
And when he was come home, he took a sword, and divided the dead body of his wife with her bones into twelve parts, and sent the pieces into all the borders of Israel. Judg. 19:29
Yet so that they first went up and wept before the Lord until night: and consulted him and said: Shall I go out any more to fight against the children of Benjamin my brethren or not? And he answered them: Go up against them, and join battle. Judg. 20:23
For as to our own daughters we cannot give them, being bound with an oath and a curse, whereby we said: Cursed be he that shall give Benjamin any of his daughters to wife. Judg. 21:18
He was named Elimelech, and his wife Noemi: and his two sons, the one Mahalon, and the other Chelion, Ephrathites of Bethlehem Juda. And entering into the country of Moab, they abode there. Ruth 1:2
May he grant you to find rest in the houses of the husbands whom you shall take. And she kissed them. And they lifted up their voice, and began to weep, Ruth 1:9
And behold, he came out of Bethlehem, and said to the reapers: The Lord be with you. And they answered him: The Lord bless thee. Ruth 2:4
And he answered him: This is the Moabitess, who came with Noemi, from the land of Moab, Ruth 2:6
And he answered her: All hath been told me, that thou hast done to thy mother in law after the death of thy husband: and how thou hast left thy parents, and the land wherein thou wast born, and art come to a people which thou knewest not heretofore. Ruth 2:11
And her mother in law said to her: Where hast thou gleaned today, and where hast thou wrought? blessed be he that hath had pity on thee. And she told her with whom she had wrought: and she told the man's name, that he was called Booz. Ruth 2:19
And Noemi answered her: Blessed be he of the Lord: because the same kindness which he shewed to the living, he hath kept also to the dead. And again she said: The man is our kinsman. Ruth 2:20
And Ruth said: He also charged me, that I should keep close to his reapers, till all the corn should be reaped. Ruth 2:21
This Booz, with whose maids thou wast joined in the field, is our near kinsman, and behold this night he winnoweth barley in the threshingfloor. Ruth 3:2
Wash thyself therefore and anoint thee, and put on thy best garments, and go down to the barnfloor: but let not the man see thee, till he shall have done eating and drinking. Ruth 3:3
And when he shall go to sleep, mark the place wherein he sleepeth: and thou shalt go in, and lift up the clothes wherewith he is covered towards his feet, and shalt lay thyself down there: and he will tell thee what thou must do. Ruth 3:4
And when Booz had eaten, and drunk, and was merry, he went to sleep by the heap of sheaves, and she came softly, and uncovering his feet, laid herself down. Ruth 3:7
And behold, when it was now midnight the man was afraid, and troubled: and he saw a woman lying at his feet, Ruth 3:8
And he said to her: Who art thou ? And she answered: I am Ruth, thy handmaid: spread thy coverlet over thy servant, for thou art a near kinsman. Ruth 3:9
And he said: Blessed art thou of the Lord, my daughter, and thy latter kindness has surpassed the former: because thou hast not followed young men either poor or rich. Ruth 3:10
Rest thou this night: and when morning is come, if he will take thee by the right of kindred, all is well: but if he will not, I will undoubtedly take thee, as the Lord liveth: sleep till the morning. Ruth 3:13
And again he said: Spread thy mantle, wherewith thou art covered, and hold it with both hands. And when she spread it and held it, he measured six measures of barley, and laid it upon her. And she carried it, and went into the city, Ruth 3:15
And she said: Behold he hath given me six measures of barley: for he said: I will not have thee return empty to thy mother in law. Ruth 3:17
And Noemi said: Wait, my daughter, till we see what end the thing will have. For the man will not rest until he have accomplished what he hath said. Ruth 3:18
¤ Then Booz went up to the gate, and sat there. And when he had seen the kinsman going by, of whom he had spoken before, he said to him, calling him by his name: Turn aside for a little while, and sit down here. He turned aside, and sat down. Ruth 4:1
They sat down, and he spoke to the kinsman: Noemi, who is returned from the country of Moab will sell a parcel of land that belonged to our brother Elimelech. Ruth 4:3
I would have thee to understand this, and would tell thee before all that sit here, and before the ancients of my people. If thou wilt take possession of it by the right of kindred: buy it, and possess it: but if it please thee not, tell me so, that I may know what I have to do. For there is no near kinsman besides thee, who art first, and me, who am second. But he answered: I will buy the field. Ruth 4:4
He answered: I yield up my right of next akin: for I must not cut off the posterity of my own family. Do thou make use of my privilege, which I profess I do willingly forego. Ruth 4:6
So Booz said to his kinsman: Put off thy shoe. And immediately he took it off from his foot. Ruth 4:8
And he said to the ancients, and to all the people: You are witnesses this day, that I have bought all that was Elimelech's, and Chelion's, and Mahalon's, of the hand of Noemi: Ruth 4:9
And thou shouldst have one to comfort thy soul, and cherish thy old age. For he is born of thy daughter in law: who loveth thee: and is much better to thee, than if thou hadst seven sons. Ruth 4:15
And the women, her neighbours, congratulating with her, and saying, There is a son born to Noemi, called his name Obed: he is the father of Isai, the father of David. Ruth 4:17
And he had two wives, the name of one was Anna, and the name of the other Phenenna. Phenenna had children: but Anna had no children. 1 Ki. 1:2
But to Anna he gave one portion with sorrow, because he loved Anna. And the Lord had shut up her womb. 1 Ki. 1:5
But Anna went not up: for she said to her husband: I will not go till the child be weaned, and till I may carry him, that he may appear before the Lord, and may abide always there. 1 Ki. 1:22
Therefore I also have lent him to the Lord all the days of his life, he shall be lent to the Lord. And they adored the Lord there. And Anna prayed, and said: 1 Ki. 1:28
The Lord killeth and maketh alive, he bringeth down to hell, and bringeth back again. 1 Ki. 2:6
The Lord maketh poor and maketh rich, he humbleth and he exalteth: 1 Ki. 2:7
He raiseth up the needy from the dust, and lifteth up the poor from the dunghill: that he may sit with princes, and hold the throne of glory. For the poles of the earth are the Lord's, and upon them he hath set the world. 1 Ki. 2:8
He will keep the feet of his saints, and the wicked shall be silent in darkness; because no man shall prevail by his own strength. 1 Ki. 2:9
The adversaries of the Lord shall fear him: and upon them shall he thunder in the heavens: The Lord shall judge the ends of the earth, and he shall give empire to his king, and shall exalt the horn of his Christ. 1 Ki. 2:10
And he that sacrificed said to him: Let the fat first be burnt to day, according to the custom, and then take to thee as much as thy soul desireth. But he answered, and said to him: Not so: but thou shalt give it me now, or else I will take it by force. 1 Ki. 2:16
And Heli blessed Elcana and his wife: and he said to him: The Lord give thee seed of this woman, for the loan thou hast lent to the Lord. And they went to their own home. 1 Ki. 2:20
Now Heli was very old, and he heard all that his sons did to all Israel: and how they lay with the women that waited at the door of the tabernacle: 1 Ki. 2:22
And he said to them: Why do ye these kinds of things, which I hear, very wicked things, from all the people? 1 Ki. 2:23
And I will raise me up a faithful priest, who shall do according to my heart, and my soul and I will build him a faithful house, and he shall walk all days before my anointed. 1 Ki. 2:35
And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall remain in thy house shall come that he may be prayed for, and shall offer a piece of silver, and a roll of bread, and shall say: Put me, I beseech thee, to somewhat of the priestly office, that I may eat a morsel of bread. 1 Ki. 2:36
And it came to pass one day when Heli lay in his place, and his eyes were grown dim, that he could not see: 1 Ki. 3:2
And the Lord called Samuel. And he answered: Here am I. 1 Ki. 3:4
And he ran to Heli, and said: Here am I: for thou didst call me. He said: I did not call: go back and sleep. And he went and slept. 1 Ki. 3:5
And the Lord called Samuel again. And Samuel arose and went to Heli, and said: Here am I: for thou calledst me. He answered: I did not call thee, my son: return and sleep. 1 Ki. 3:6
And the Lord called Samuel again the third time. And he arose up and went to Heli, 1 Ki. 3:8
And said: Here am I: for thou didst call me. Then Heli understood that the Lord called the child, and he said to Samuel: Go, and sleep: and if he shall call thee any more, thou shalt say: Speak, Lord, for thy servant heareth. So Samuel went, and slept in his place. 1 Ki. 3:9
And the Lord came, and stood, and he called, as he had called the other times, Samuel, Samuel. And Samuel said: Speak, Lord, for thy servant heareth. 1 Ki. 3:10
For I have foretold unto him, that I will judge his house for ever, for iniquity, because he knew that his sons did wickedly, and did not chastise them. 1 Ki. 3:13
Then Heli called Samuel, and said: Samuel, my son. And he answered: Here am I. 1 Ki. 3:16
And he asked him: What is the word that the Lord hath spoken to thee? I beseech thee hide it not from me. May God do so and so to thee, and add so and so, if thou hide from me one word of all that were said to thee. 1 Ki. 3:17
So Samuel told him all the words, and did not hide them from him. And he answered: It is the Lord: let him do what is good in his sight. 1 Ki. 3:18
And when he was come, Heli sat upon a stool over against the way, watching. For his heart was fearful for the ark of God. And when the man was come into the city, he told it: and all the city cried out. 1 Ki. 4:13
And Heli heard the noise of the cry, and he said: What meaneth the noise of this uproar? But he made haste, and came, and told Heli. 1 Ki. 4:14
Now Heli was ninety and eight years old, and his eyes were dim, and he could not see. 1 Ki. 4:15
And he said to Heli: I am he that came from the battle, and have fled out of the field this day. And he said to him: What is there done, my son? 1 Ki. 4:16
And he that brought the news answered, and said: Israel is fled before the Philistines, and there has been a great slaughter of the people: moreover thy two sons, Ophni and Phinees, are dead: and the ark of God is taken. 1 Ki. 4:17
And when he had named the ark of God, he fell from his stool backwards by the door, and broke his neck and died. For he was an old man, and far advanced in years: And he judged Israel forty years. 1 Ki. 4:18
And the hand of the Lord was heavy upon the Azotians, and he destroyed them, and afflicted Azotus and the coasts thereof with emerods. And in the villages and fields in the midst of that country, there came forth a multitude of mice, and there was the confusion of a great mortality in the city. 1 Ki. 5:6
And while they were carrying it about, the hand of the Lord came upon every city with an exceeding great slaughter: and he smote the men of every city, both small and great, and they had emerods in their secret parts. And the Gethites consulted together, and made themselves seats of skins. 1 Ki. 5:9
According to the number of the provinces of the Philistines you shall make five golden emerods, and five golden mice: for the same plague hath been upon you all, and upon your lords. And you shall make the likeness of your emerods, and the likeness of the mice, that have destroyed the land, and you shall give glory to the God of Israel: to see if he will take off his hand from you, and from your gods, and from your land. 1 Ki. 6:5
Why do you harden your hearts, as Egypt and Pharao hardened their hearts? did not he, after he was struck, then let them go, and they departed? 1 Ki. 6:6
And you shall look: and if it go up by the way of his own coasts, towards Bethsames, then he hath done us this great evil: but if not, we shall know that it is not his hand hath touched us, but it hath happened by chance. 1 Ki. 6:9
But he slew of the men of Bethsames, because they had seen the ark of the Lord, and he slew of the people seventy men, and fifty thousand of the common people. And the people lamented, because the Lord had smitten the people with a great slaughter. 1 Ki. 6:19
And the men of Bethsames said: Who shall be able to stand before the Lord this holy God? and to whom shall he go up from us? 1 Ki. 6:20
And Samuel spoke to all the house of Israel, saying: If you turn to the Lord with all your heart, put away the strange gods from among you, Baalim and Astaroth: and prepare your hearts unto the Lord, and serve him only, and he will deliver you out of the hand of the Philistines. 1 Ki. 7:3
And they said to Samuel: Cease not to cry to the Lord our God for us, that he may save us out of the hand of the Philistines. 1 Ki. 7:8
And Samuel took a stone, and laid it between Masphath and Sen: and he called the place The stone of help. And he said: Thus far the Lord hath helped us. 1 Ki. 7:12
And the cities which the Philistines had taken from Israel, were restored to Israel, from Accaron to Geth, and their borders: and he delivered Israel from the hand of the Philistines, and there was peace between Israel and the Amorrhites. 1 Ki. 7:14
And he went every year about to Bethel and to Galgal and to Masphath, and he judged Israel in the foresaid places. 1 Ki. 7:16
And he returned to Ramatha: for there was his house, and there he judged Israel: he built also there an altar to the Lord. 1 Ki. 7:17
¤ And it came to pass, when Samuel was old, that he appointed his sons to be judges over Israel. 1 Ki. 8:1
And said: This will be the right of the king that shall reign over you: He will take your sons, and put them in his chariots, and will make them his horsemen, and his running footmen, to run before his chariots, 1 Ki. 8:11
And he will appoint of them to be his tribunes, and his centurions, and to plough his fields, and to reap his corn, and to make him arms and chariots. 1 Ki. 8:12
Your daughters also he will take to make him ointments, and to be his cooks, and bakers. 1 Ki. 8:13
And he will take your fields, and your vineyards, and your best oliveyards, and give them to his servants. 1 Ki. 8:14
Moreover he will take the tenth of your corn, and of the revenues of your vineyards, to give to his eunuchs and servants. 1 Ki. 8:15
Your servants also, and handmaids, and your goodliest young men, and your asses, he will take away, and put them to his work. 1 Ki. 8:16
Your flocks also he will tithe, and you shall be his servants. 1 Ki. 8:17
And he had a son whose name was Saul, a choice and goodly man, and there was not among the children of Israel a goodlier person than he: from his shoulders and upward he appeared above all the people. 1 Ki. 9:2
And he said to him: Behold there is a man of God in this city, a famous man: all that he saith, cometh certainly to pass. Now, therefore, let us go thither, perhaps he may tell us of our way, for which we are come. 1 Ki. 9:6
The servant answered Saul again, and said: Behold there is found in my hand the fourth part of a sicle of silver, let us give it to the man of God, that he may tell us our way. 1 Ki. 9:8
Now in time past in Israel, when a man went to consult God, he spoke thus: Come, let us go to the seer. For he that is now called a prophet, in time past was called a seer. 1 Ki. 9:9
They answered and said to them: He is: behold he is before you, make haste now: for he came to day into the city, for there is a sacrifice of the people to day in the high place. 1 Ki. 9:12
As soon as you come into the city, you shall immediately find him, before he go up to the high place to eat: for the people will not eat till he come; because he blesseth the victim, and afterwards they eat that are invited. Now, therefore, go up, for to day you shall find him. 1 Ki. 9:13
To morrow about this same hour I will send thee a man of the land of Benjamin, and thou shalt anoint him to be ruler over my people Israel: and he shall save my people out of the hand of the Philistines: for I have looked down upon my people, because their cry is come to me. 1 Ki. 9:16
And they went down from the high place into the town, and he spoke with Saul upon the top of the house: and he prepared a bed for Saul on the top of the house and he slept. 1 Ki. 9:25
And when they were risen in the morning, and it began now to be light, Samuel called Saul on the top of the house, saying: Arise, that I may let thee go. And Saul arose: and they went out both of them: to wit, he and Samuel. 1 Ki. 9:26
So when he had turned his back to go from Samuel, God gave unto him another heart, and all these things came to pass that day. 1 Ki. 10:9
And they came to the foresaid hill, and behold a company of prophets met him: and the Spirit of the Lord came upon him, and he prophesied in the midst of them. 1 Ki. 10:10
And all that had known him yesterday and the day before, seeing that he was with the prophets, and prophesied, said to each other: What is this that hath happened to the son of Cis? is Saul also among the prophets? 1 Ki. 10:11
And when he had made an end of prophesying, he came to the high place. 1 Ki. 10:13
And Saul said to his uncle: He told us that the asses were found. But of the matter of the kingdom of which Samuel had spoken to him, he told him not. 1 Ki. 10:16
And he said to the children of Israel: Thus saith the Lord the God of Israel: I brought up Israel out of Egypt, and delivered you from the hand of the Egyptians, and from the hand of all the kings who afflicted you. 1 Ki. 10:18
And he brought the tribe of Benjamin and the kindreds thereof, and the lot fell upon the kindred of Metri, and it came to Saul, the son of Cis. They sought him therefore, and he was not found. 1 Ki. 10:21
And after this they consulted the Lord whether he would come thither. And the Lord answered: Behold he is hidden at home. 1 Ki. 10:22
And they ran and fetched him thence: and he stood in the midst of the people, and he was higher than any of the people from the shoulders and upward. 1 Ki. 10:23
But the children of Belial said: Shall this fellow be able to save us? And they despised him, and brought him no presents; but he dissembled as though he heard not. 1 Ki. 10:27
And behold Saul came, following oxen out of the field, and he said: What aileth the people that they weep? And they told him the words of the men of Jabes. 1 Ki. 11:5
And the Spirit of the Lord came upon Saul, when he had heard these words, and his anger was exceedingly kindled. 1 Ki. 11:6
And taking both the oxen, he cut them in pieces, and sent them into all the coasts of Israel, by messengers, saying: Whosoever shall not come forth, and follow Saul and Samuel, so shall it be done to his oxen. And the fear of the Lord fell upon the people, and they went out as one man. 1 Ki. 11:7
And he numbered them in Bezec: and there were of the children of Israel three hundred thousand: and of the men of Juda thirty thousand. 1 Ki. 11:8
And it came to pass, when the morrow was come, that Saul put the people in three companies: and he came into the midst of the camp in the morning watch, and he slew the Ammonites until the day grew hot, and the rest were scattered, so that two of them were not left together. 1 Ki. 11:11
And the people said to Samuel: Who is he that said: Shall Saul reign over us? Bring the men, and we will kill them. 1 Ki. 11:12
And he said to them: The Lord is witness against you, and his anointed is witness this day, that you have not found any thing in my hand. And they said: He is witness. 1 Ki. 12:5
Now, therefore, stand up, that I may plead in judgment against you before the Lord, concerning all the kindness of the Lord, which he hath shewn to you, and to your fathers: 1 Ki. 12:7
And they forgot the Lord their God, and he delivered them into the hands of Sisara, captain of the army of Hasor, and into the hands of the Philistines, and into the hand of the king of Moab, and they fought against them. 1 Ki. 12:9
Is it not wheat harvest to day? I will call upon the Lord, and he shall send thunder and rain: and you shall know, and see that you yourselves have done a great evil in the sight of the Lord, in desiring a king over you. 1 Ki. 12:17
Therefore fear the Lord, and serve him in truth, and with your whole heart, for you have seen the great works which he hath done among you. 1 Ki. 12:24
¤ Saul was a child of one year when he began to reign, and he reigned two years over Israel. 1 Ki. 13:1
And Saul chose him three thousand men of Israel: and two thousand were with Saul in Machmas, and in mount Bethel: and a thousand with Jonathan in Gabaa of Benjamin: and the rest of the people he sent back every man to their dwellings. 1 Ki. 13:2
And he waited seven days, according to the appointment of Samuel, and Samuel came not to Galgal, and the people slipt away from him. 1 Ki. 13:8
Then Saul said: Bring me the holocaust, and the peace offerings. And he offered the holocaust. 1 Ki. 13:9
And when he had made an end of offering the holocaust, behold Samuel came: and Saul went forth to meet him and salute him. 1 Ki. 13:10
And Samuel said to Saul: Thou hast done foolishly, and hast not kept the commandments of the Lord thy God, which he commanded thee. And if thou hadst not done thus, the Lord would now have established thy kingdom over Israel for ever: 1 Ki. 13:13
¤ Now it came to pass one day that Jonathan, the son of Saul, said to the young man that bore his armour: Come, and let us go over to the garrison of the Philistines, which is on the other side of yonder place. But he told not this to his father. 1 Ki. 14:1
And Jonathan went up creeping on his hands and feet, and his armourbearer after him. And some fell before Jonathan, others his armourbearer slew as he followed him. 1 Ki. 14:13
But Jonathan had not heard when his father adjured the people: and he put forth the end of the rod, which he had in his hand, and dipt it in a honeycomb: and he carried his hand to his mouth, and his eyes were enlightened. 1 Ki. 14:27
And they told Saul that the people had sinned against the Lord, eating with the blood. And he said: You have transgressed: roll here to me now a great stone. 1 Ki. 14:33
And Saul built an altar to the Lord: and he then first began to build an altar to the Lord. 1 Ki. 14:35
And Saul consulted the Lord: Shall I pursue after the Philistines? wilt thou deliver them into the hands of Israel? And he answered him not that day. 1 Ki. 14:37
As the Lord liveth, who is the Saviour of Israel, if it was done by Jonathan, my son, he shall surely die. In this none of the people gainsayed him. 1 Ki. 14:39
And he said to all Israel: Be you on one side and I, with Jonathan, my son, will be on the other side. And the people answered Saul: Do what seemeth good in thy eyes. 1 Ki. 14:40
And the people said to Saul: Shall Jonathan then die, who hath wrought this great salvation in Israel? this must not be: As the Lord liveth, there shall not one hair of his head fall to the ground, for he hath wrought with God this day. So the people delivered Jonathan, that he should not die. 1 Ki. 14:45
And Saul having his kingdom established over Israel, fought against all his enemies round about, against Moab, and against the children of Ammon, and Edom, and the kings of Soba, and the Philistines: and whithersoever he turned himself, he overcame. 1 Ki. 14:47
And gathering together an army, he defeated Amalec, and delivered Israel from the hand of them that spoiled them. 1 Ki. 14:48
And there was a great war against the Philistines all the days of Saul. For whomsoever Saul saw to be a valiant man, and fit for war, he took him to himself. 1 Ki. 14:52
Thus saith the Lord of hosts: I have reckoned up all that Amalec hath done to Israel: how he opposed them in the way when they came up out of Egypt. 1 Ki. 15:2
Now therefore go, and smite Amalec, and utterly destroy all that he hath: spare him not, nor covet anything that is his: but slay both man and woman, child and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass. 1 Ki. 15:3
And when Saul was come to the city of Amalec, he laid ambushes in the torrent. 1 Ki. 15:5
And he took Agag, the king of Amalec, alive: but all the common people he slew with the edge of the sword. 1 Ki. 15:8
It repenteth me that I have made Saul king: for he hath forsaken me, and hath not executed my commandments. And Samuel was grieved, and he cried unto the Lord all night. 1 Ki. 15:11
And when Samuel rose early, to go to Saul in the morning, it was told Samuel that Saul was come to Carmel, and had erected for himself a triumphant arch, and returning had passed on, and gone down to Galgal. And Samuel came to Saul, and Saul was offering a holocaust to the Lord, out of the choicest of the spoils, which he had brought from Amalec. 1 Ki. 15:12
And Samuel said to Saul: Suffer me, and I will tell thee what the Lord hath said to me this night. And he said to him: Speak. 1 Ki. 15:16
And Samuel turned about to go away: but he laid hold upon the skirt of his mantle, and it rent. 1 Ki. 15:27
But the triumpher in Israel will not spare, and will not be moved to repentance: for he is not a man that he should repent. 1 Ki. 15:29
Then he said: I have sinned: yet honour me now before the ancients of my people, and before Israel, and return with me, that I may adore the Lord thy God. 1 Ki. 15:30
And Samuel saw Saul no more till the day of his death: nevertheless, Samuel mourned for Saul, because the Lord repented that he had made him king over Israel. 1 Ki. 15:35
And Samuel said: How shall I go? for Saul will hear of it, and he will kill me. And the Lord said: Thou shalt take with thee a calf of the herd, and thou shalt say: I am come to sacrifice to the Lord. 1 Ki. 16:2
Then Samuel did as the Lord had said to him. And he came to Bethlehem, and the ancients of the city wondered, and meeting him, they said: Is thy coming hither peaceable? 1 Ki. 16:4
And he said: It is peaceable: I am come to offer sacrifice to the Lord, be ye sanctified, and come with me to the sacrifice. And he sanctified Isai and his sons, and called them to the sacrifice. 1 Ki. 16:5
And when they were come in, he saw Eliab, and said: Is the Lord's anointed before him? 1 Ki. 16:6
And Isai called Abinadab, and brought him before Samuel. And he said: Neither hath the Lord chosen this, 1 Ki. 16:8
And Isai brought Samma, and he said of him: Neither hath the Lord chosen this. 1 Ki. 16:9
And Samuel said to Isai: Are here all thy sons? He answered: There remaineth yet a young one, who keepeth the sheep. And Samuel said to Isai: Send, and fetch him: for we will not sit down till he come hither. 1 Ki. 16:11
He sent therefore and brought him. Now he was ruddy and beautiful to behold, and of a comely face. And the Lord said: Arise, and anoint him, for this is he. 1 Ki. 16:12
Let our lord give orders, and thy servants who are before thee, will seek out a man skilful in playing on the harp, that when the evil spirit from the Lord is upon thee, he may play with his hand, and thou mayst bear it more easily. 1 Ki. 16:16
And David came to Saul, and stood before him: and he loved him exceedingly, and made him his armourbearer. 1 Ki. 16:21
And Saul sent to Isai, saying: Let David stand before me: for he hath found favour in my sight. 1 Ki. 16:22
And he had a helmet of brass upon his head, and he was clothed with a coat of mail with scales, and the weight of his coat of mail was five thousand sicles of brass: 1 Ki. 17:5
And he had greaves of brass on his legs, and a buckler of brass covered his shoulders. 1 Ki. 17:6
And standing, he cried out to the bands of Israel, and said to them: Why are you come out prepared to fight? am not I a Philistine, and you the servants of Saul? Choose out a man of you, and let him come down and fight hand to hand. 1 Ki. 17:8
If he be able to fight with me, and kill me, we will be servants to you: but if I prevail against him, and kill him, you shall be servants, and shall serve us. 1 Ki. 17:9
David, therefore, arose in the morning, and gave the charge of the flock to the keeper: and went away loaded, as Isai had commanded him. And he came to the place of Magala, and to the army, which was going out to fight, and shouted for the battle. 1 Ki. 17:20
And David leaving the vessels which he had brought, under the care of the keeper of the baggage, ran to the place of the battle, and asked if all things went well with his brethren. 1 Ki. 17:22
And as he talked with them, that baseborn man, whose name was Goliath, the Philistine, of Geth, shewed himself coming up from the camp of the Philistines: and he spoke according to the same words, and David heard them, 1 Ki. 17:23
And some one of Israel said: Have you seen this man that is come up, for he is come up to defy Israel. And the man that shall slay him, the king will enrich with great riches, and will give him his daughter, and will make his father's house free from tribute in Israel. 1 Ki. 17:25
And David spoke to the men that stood by him, saying: What shall be given to the man that shall kill this Philistine, and shall take away the reproach from Israel? for who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should defy the armies of the living God? 1 Ki. 17:26
Now when Eliab his eldest brother heard this, when he was speaking with others, he was angry with David, and said: Why camest thou hither? and why didst thou leave those few sheep in the desert? I know thy pride, and the wickedness of thy heart: that thou art come down to see the battle. 1 Ki. 17:28
And he turned a little aside from him to another: and said the same word. And the people answered him as before. 1 Ki. 17:30
And when he was brought to Saul, he said to him. Let not any man's heart be dismayed in him: I thy servant will go, and will fight against the Philistine. 1 Ki. 17:32
And Saul said to David: Thou art not able to withstand this Philistine, nor to fight against him: for thou art but a boy, but he is a warrior from his youth. 1 Ki. 17:33
And David said: The Lord who delivered me out of the paw of the lion, and out of the paw of the bear, he will deliver me out of the hand of this Philistine. And Saul said to David: Go, and the Lord be with thee. 1 Ki. 17:37
And David having girded his sword upon his armour, began to try if he could walk in armour: for he was not accustomed to it. And David said to Saul: I cannot go thus, for I am not used to it. And he laid them off, 1 Ki. 17:39
And he took his staff, which he had always in his hands: and chose him five smooth stones out of the brook, and put them into the shepherd's scrip, which he had with him, and he took a sling in his hand, and went forth against the Philistine. 1 Ki. 17:40
And when the Philistine looked, and beheld David, he despised him. For he was a young man, ruddy, and of a comely countenance. 1 Ki. 17:42
And he said to David: Come to me, and I will give thy flesh to the birds of the air, and to the beasts of the earth. 1 Ki. 17:44
And all this assembly shall know that the Lord saveth not with sword and spear: for it is his battle, and he will deliver you into our hands. 1 Ki. 17:47
And he put his hand into his scrip, and took a stone, and cast it with the sling, and fetching it about, struck the Philistine in the forehead: and the stone was fixed in his forehead, and he fell on his face upon the earth. 1 Ki. 17:49
And David prevailed over the Philistine, with a sling and a stone, and he struck, and slew the Philistine. And as David had no sword in his hand, 1 Ki. 17:50
He ran, and stood over the Philistine, and took his sword, and drew it out of the sheath, and slew him, and cut off his head. And the Philistines seeing that their champion was dead, fled away. 1 Ki. 17:51
And David taking the head of the Philistine, brought it to Jerusalem: but his armour he put in his tent. 1 Ki. 17:54
Now at the time that Saul saw David going out against the Philistines, he said to Abner, the captain of the army: Of what family is this young man descended, Abner? And Abner said: As thy soul liveth, O king, I know not. 1 Ki. 17:55
¤ And it came to pass, when he had made an end of speaking to Saul, the soul of Jonathan was knit with the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul. 1 Ki. 18:1
And David and Jonathan made a covenant, for he loved him as his own soul. 1 Ki. 18:3
And Jonathan stripped himself of the coat with which he was clothed, and gave it to David, and the rest of his garments, even to his sword, and to his bow, and to his girdle. 1 Ki. 18:4
And David went out to whatsoever business Saul sent him, and he behaved himself prudently: and Saul set him over the soldiers, and he was acceptable in the eyes of all the people, and especially in the eyes of Saul's servants. 1 Ki. 18:5
Now when David returned, after he slew the Philistine, the women came out of all the cities of Israel, singing and dancing, to meet king Saul, with timbrels of joy, and cornets. 1 Ki. 18:6
And Saul was exceeding angry, and this word was displeasing in his eyes, and he said: They have given David ten thousands, and to me they have given but a thousand, what can he have more but the kingdom? 1 Ki. 18:8
And the day after, the evil spirit from God came upon Saul, and he prophesied in the midst of his house. And David played with his hand as at other times. And Saul held a spear in his hand, 1 Ki. 18:10
Therefore Saul removed him from him, and made him a captain over a thousand men, and he went out and came in before the people. 1 Ki. 18:13
And Saul saw that he was exceeding prudent, and began to beware of him. 1 Ki. 18:15
But all Israel and Juda loved David, for he came in and went out before them. 1 Ki. 18:16
And after a few days David rose up, and went with the men that were under him, and he slew of the Philistines two hundred men, and brought their foreskins and numbered them out to the king, that he might be his son in law. Saul therefore gave him Michol, his daughter, to wife. 1 Ki. 18:27
And Jonathan spoke good things of David to Saul, his father: and said to him: Sin not, O king, against thy servant, David, because he hath not sinned against thee, and his works are very good towards thee. 1 Ki. 19:4
And he put his life in his hand, and slew the Philistine, and the Lord wrought great salvation for all Israel. Thou sawest it and didst rejoice. Why therefore wilt thou sin against innocent blood, by killing David, who is without fault? 1 Ki. 19:5
And when Saul heard this, he was appeased with the words of Jonathan, and swore: As the Lord liveth, he shall not be slain. 1 Ki. 19:6
Then Jonathan called David, and told him all these words: and Jonathan brought in David to Saul, and he was before him, as he had been yesterday and the day before. 1 Ki. 19:7
And the evil spirit from the Lord came upon Saul; and he sat in his house, and held a spear in his hand: and David played with his hand. 1 Ki. 19:9
Saul therefore sent his guards to David's house to watch him, that he might be killed in the morning. And when Michol, David's wife, had told him this, saying: Unless thou save thyself this night, to morrow thou wilt die: 1 Ki. 19:11
She let him down through a window. And he went and fled away, and escaped. 1 Ki. 19:12
And Saul sent officers to seize David; and it was answered that he was sick. 1 Ki. 19:14
And again Saul sent to see David, saying: Bring him to me in the bed, that he may be slain. 1 Ki. 19:15
And Saul said to Michol: Why hast thou deceived me so, and let my enemy go and flee away? And Michol answered Saul: Because he said to me: Let me go, or else I will kill thee. 1 Ki. 19:17
But David fled and escaped, and came to Samuel in Ramatha, and told him all that Saul had done to him: and he and Samuel went and dwelt in Najoth. 1 Ki. 19:18
And when this was told Saul, he sent other messengers: but they also prophesied. And again Saul sent messengers the third time: and they prophesied also. And Saul being exceedingly angry, 1 Ki. 19:21
Went also himself to Ramatha, and came as far as the great cistern, which is in Socho, and he asked, and said: In what place are Samuel and David? And it was told him: Behold they are in Najoth, in Ramatha. 1 Ki. 19:22
And he went to Najoth, in Ramatha, and the Spirit of the Lord came upon him also, and he went on, and prophesied till he came to Najoth, in Ramatha. 1 Ki. 19:23
And he stripped himself also of his garments, and prophesied with the rest before Samuel, and lay down naked all that day and night. This gave occasion to a proverb: What! is Saul too among the prophets? 1 Ki. 19:24
¤ But David fled from Najoth, which is in Ramatha, and came and said to Jonathan: What have I done? what is my iniquity, and what is my sin against thy father, that he seeketh my life? 1 Ki. 20:1
And he said to him: (God forbid, thou shalt not die: for my father will do nothing, great or little, without first telling me: hath then my father hid this word only from me? no, this shall not be. 1 Ki. 20:2
And he swore again to David. And David said: Thy father certainly knoweth that I have found grace in thy sight, and he will say: Let not Jonathan know this, lest he be grieved. But truly as the Lord liveth, and thy soul liveth, there is but one step (as I may say) between me and death. 1 Ki. 20:3
If thy father look and inquire for me, thou shalt answer him: David asked me that he might run to Bethlehem, his own city: because there are solemn sacrifices there for all of his tribe. 1 Ki. 20:6
If he shall say: It is well: thy servant shall have peace: but if he be angry, know that his malice is come to its height. 1 Ki. 20:7
May the Lord do so and so to Jonathan, and add still more. But if my father shall continue in malice against thee, I will discover it to thy ear, and will send thee away, that thou mayst go in peace, and the Lord be with thee, as he hath been with my father. 1 Ki. 20:13
Thou shalt not take away thy kindness from my house for ever, when the Lord shall have rooted out the enemies of David, every one of them from the earth, may he take away Jonathan from his house, and may the Lord require it at the hands of David's enemies. 1 Ki. 20:15
And Jonathan swore again to David, because he loved him: for he loved him as his own soul. 1 Ki. 20:17
And Saul said nothing that day, for he thought it might have happened to him, that he was not clean, nor purified. 1 Ki. 20:26
And Jonathan answered Saul: He asked leave of me earnestly to go to Bethlehem. 1 Ki. 20:28
And he said: Let me go, for there is a solemn sacrifice in the city, one of my brethren hath sent for me: and now if I have found favour in thy eyes, I will go quickly, and see my brethren. For this cause he came not to the king's table. 1 Ki. 20:29
For as long as the son of Isai liveth upon earth, thou shalt not be established, nor thy kingdom. Therefore now presently send, and fetch him to me: for he is the son of death. 1 Ki. 20:31
And Jonathan answering Saul, his father, said: Why shall he die? What hath he done? 1 Ki. 20:32
So Jonathan rose from the table in great anger, and did not eat bread on the second day after the new moon. For he was grieved for David, because his father had put him to confusion. 1 Ki. 20:34
And he said to his boy: Go, and fetch me the arrows which I shoot. And when the boy ran, he shot another arrow beyond the boy. 1 Ki. 20:36
And he knew not at all what was doing: for only Jonathan and David knew the matter. 1 Ki. 20:39
¤ And David came to Nobe, to Achimelech, the priest and Achimelech was astonished at David's coming. And he said to him: Why art thou alone, and no man with thee? 1 Ki. 21:1
And he changed his countenance before them, and slipt down between their hands: and he stumbled against the doors of the gate, and his spittle ran down upon his beard. 1 Ki. 21:13
And all that were in distress, and oppressed with debt, and under affliction of mind, gathered themselves unto him: and he became their prince, and there were with him about four hundred men. 1 Ki. 22:2
And David departed from thence into Maspha of Moab: and he said to the king of Moab: Let my father and my mother tarry with you, I beseech thee, till I know what God will do for me. 1 Ki. 22:3
And he left them under the eyes of the king of Moab, and they abode with him all the days that David was in the hold. 1 Ki. 22:4
He said to his servants that stood about him: Hear me now, ye sons of Jemini: will the son of Isai give every one of you fields, and vineyards, and make you all tribunes, and centurions: 1 Ki. 22:7
And he consulted the Lord for him, and gave him victuals, and gave him the sword of Goliath, the Philistine. 1 Ki. 22:10
And Saul said to Achimelech: Hear, thou son of Achitob. He answered: Here I am, my lord. 1 Ki. 22:12
And Saul said to him: Why have you conspired against me, thou, and the son of Isai, and thou hast given him bread and a sword, and hast consulted the Lord for him, that he should rise up against me, continuing a traitor to this day. 1 Ki. 22:13
And the king said to the messengers that stood about him: Turn, and kill the priests of the Lord, for their hand is with David, because they knew that he was fled, and they told it not to me. And the king's servants would not put forth their hands against the priests of the Lord. 1 Ki. 22:17
And Nobe, the city of the priests, he smote with the edge of the sword, both men and women, children and sucklings, and ox, and ass, and sheep, with the edge of the sword. 1 Ki. 22:19
And David said to Abiathar: I knew that day when Doeg, the Edomite, was there, that without doubt he would tell Saul: I have been the occasion of the death of all the souls of thy father's house. 1 Ki. 22:22
Abide thou with me, fear not: for he that seeketh my life, seeketh thy life also, and with me thou shalt be saved. 1 Ki. 22:23
Therefore David consulted the Lord again. And he answered and said to him: Arise, and go to Ceila: for I will deliver the Philistines into thy hand. 1 Ki. 23:4
Now at that time, when Abiathar, the son of Achimelech, fled to David, to Ceila, he came down, having an ephod with him. 1 Ki. 23:6
And it was told Saul that David was come to Ceila: and Saul said: The Lord hath delivered him into my hands, and he is shut up, being come into a city that hath gates and bars. 1 Ki. 23:7
Now when David understood that Saul secretly prepared evil against him, he said to Abiathar, the priest: Bring hither the ephod. 1 Ki. 23:9
Will the men of Ceila deliver me into his hands? and will Saul come down, as thy servant hath heard? O Lord God of Israel, tell thy servant. And the Lord said: He will come down. 1 Ki. 23:11
Then David and his men, who were about six hundred, arose, and departing from Ceila, wandered up and down, uncertain where they should stay: and it was told Saul that David was fled from Ceila, and had escaped: wherefore he forbore to go out. 1 Ki. 23:13
But David abode in the desert in strong holds, and he remained in a mountain of the desert of Ziph, in a woody hill. And Saul sought him always: but the Lord delivered him not into his hands. 1 Ki. 23:14
And Jonathan, the son of Saul, arose, and went to David, into the wood, and strengthened his hands in God: and he said to him: 1 Ki. 23:16
Go, therefore, I pray you, and use all diligence, and curiously inquire, and consider the place where his foot is, and who hath seen him there: for he thinketh of me, that I lie craftily in wait for him. 1 Ki. 23:22
Consider, and see all his lurking holes, wherein he is hid, and return to me with the certainty of the thing, that I may go with you. And if he should even go down into the earth to hide himself, I will search him out in all the thousands of Juda. 1 Ki. 23:23
Then Saul and his men went to seek him: and it was told David, and forthwith he went down to the rock, and abode in the wilderness of Maon: and when Saul had heard of it, he pursued after David in the wilderness of Maon. 1 Ki. 23:25
And he came to the sheepcotes which were in his way. And there was a cave, into which Saul went, to ease nature: now David and his men lay hid in the inner part of the cave. 1 Ki. 24:3
After which David's heart struck him, because he had cut off the hem of Saul's robe. 1 Ki. 24:5
And he said to his men: The Lord be merciful unto me, that I may do no such thing to my master, the Lord's anointed, as to lay my hand upon him, because he is the Lord's anointed. 1 Ki. 24:6
Behold this day thy eyes have seen, that the Lord hath delivered thee into my hand, in the cave, and I had a thought to kill thee, but my eye hath spared thee. For I said: I will not put out my hand against my lord, because he is the Lord's anointed. 1 Ki. 24:10
And he said to David: Thou art more just than I: for thou hast done good to me, and I have rewarded thee with evil. 1 Ki. 24:17
For who when he hath found his enemy, will let him go well away? But the Lord reward thee for this good turn, for what thou hast done to me this day. 1 Ki. 24:19
Now there was a certain man in the wilderness of Maon, and his possessions were in Carmel, and the man was very great: and he had three thousand sheep, and a thousand goats: and it happened that he was shearing his sheep in Carmel. 1 Ki. 25:2
Now the name of the man was Nabal: and the name of his wife was Abigail. And she was a prudent and very comely woman: but her husband was churlish, and very bad and ill natured: and he was of the house of Caleb. 1 Ki. 25:3
He sent ten young men, and said to them: Go up to Carmel, and go to Nabal, and salute him in my name with peace. 1 Ki. 25:5
So the servants of David went back their way, and returning came and told him all the words that he said. 1 Ki. 25:12
But one of the servants told, Abigail, the wife of Nabal, saying: Behold, David sent messengers out of the wilderness, to salute our master: and he rejected them. 1 Ki. 25:14
Wherefore consider, and think what thou hast to do: for evil is determined against thy husband, and against thy house, and he is a son of Belial, so that no man can speak to him. 1 Ki. 25:17
And David said: Truly in vain have I kept all that belonged to this fellow in the wilderness, and nothing was lost of all that pertained unto him: and he hath returned me evil for good. 1 Ki. 25:21
Let not my lord the king, I pray thee, regard this naughty man, Nabal: for according to his name, he is a fool, and folly is with him: but I, thy handmaid, did not see thy servants, my lord, whom thou sentest. 1 Ki. 25:25
And when the Lord shall have done to thee, my lord, all the good that he hath spoken concerning thee, and shall have made thee prince over Israel, 1 Ki. 25:30
And Abigail came to Nabal: and behold he had a feast in his house, like the feast of a king: and Nabal's heart was merry, for he was very drunk: and she told him nothing less or more until morning. 1 Ki. 25:36
But early in the morning, when Nabal had digested his wine, his wife told him these words, and his heart died within him, and he became as a stone. 1 Ki. 25:37
And after ten days had passed, the Lord struck Nabal, and he died. 1 Ki. 25:38
And when David had heard that Nabal was dead, he said: Blessed be the Lord, who hath judged the cause of my reproach, at the hand of Nabal, and hath kept his servant from evil, and the Lord hath returned the wickedness of Nabal upon his head. Then David sent and treated with Abigail, that he might take her to himself for a wife. 1 Ki. 25:39
He sent spies, and learned that he was most certainly come thither. 1 Ki. 26:4
And David arose secretly, and came to the place where Saul was: and when he had beheld the place, wherein Saul slept, and Abner, the son of Ner, the captain of his army, and Saul sleeping in a tent, and the rest of the multitude round about him, 1 Ki. 26:5
And David said: As the Lord liveth, unless the Lord shall strike him, or his day shall come to die, or he shall go down to battle, and perish: 1 Ki. 26:10
And he said: Wherefore doth my lord persecute his servant? What have I done? or what evil is there in my hand? 1 Ki. 26:18
And David arose, and went away, both he and the six hundred men that were with him, to Achis, the son of Maoch, king of Geth. 1 Ki. 27:2
And David dwelt with Achis at Geth, he and his men; every man with his household, and David with his two wives, Achinoam, the Jezrahelitess, and Abigail, the wife of Nabal of Carmel. 1 Ki. 27:3
And it was told Saul that David was fled to Geth, and he sought no more after him. 1 Ki. 27:4
And David saved neither man nor woman, neither brought he any of them to Geth, saying: Lest they should speak against us. So did David, and such was his proceeding all the days that he dwelt in the country of the Philistines. 1 Ki. 27:11
And Achis believed David, saying: He hath done much harm to his people Israel: Therefore he shall be my servant for ever. 1 Ki. 27:12
And he consulted the Lord, and he answered him not, neither by dreams, nor by priests, nor by prophets. 1 Ki. 28:6
Then he disguised himself: and put on other clothes, and he went, and two men with him, and they came to the woman by night, and he said to her: Divine to me by thy divining spirit, and bring me up him whom I shall tell thee. 1 Ki. 28:8
And the woman said to him: Behold thou knowest all that Saul hath done, and how he hath rooted out the magicians and soothsayers from the land: why then dost thou lay a snare for my life, to cause me to be put to death? 1 Ki. 28:9
And the woman said to him: Whom shall I bring up to thee? And he said, Bring me up Samuel. 1 Ki. 28:11
And he said to her: What form is he of? And she said: An old man cometh up, and he is covered with a mantle. And Saul understood that it was Samuel, and he bowed himself with his face to the ground, and adored. 1 Ki. 28:14
For the Lord will do to thee as he spoke by me, and he will rend thy kingdom out of thy hand, and will give it to thy neighbour David: 1 Ki. 28:17
And forthwith Saul fell all along on the ground; for he was frightened with the words of Samuel, and there was no strength in him, for he had eaten no bread all that day. 1 Ki. 28:20
And the woman came to Saul, (for he was very much troubled) and said to him: Behold thy handmaid hath obeyed thy voice, and I have put my life in my hand: and I hearkened unto the words which thou spokest to me. 1 Ki. 28:21
But he refused, and said: I will not eat. But his servants and the woman forced him, and at length hearkening to their voice, he arose from the ground, and sat upon the bed. 1 Ki. 28:23
And the princes of the Philistines said to Achis: What mean these Hebrews? And Achis said to the princes of the Philistines: Do you not know David who was the servant of Saul, the king of Israel, and hath been with me many days, or years, and I have found no fault in him, since the day that he fled over to me until this day? 1 Ki. 29:3
But the princes of the Philistines were angry with him, and they said to him: Let this man return, and abide in his place, which thou hast appointed him, and let him not go down with us to battle, lest he be an adversary to us, when we shall begin to fight: for how can he otherwise appease his master, but with our heads? 1 Ki. 29:4
And Achis answering, said to David: I know that thou art good in my sight, as an angel of God: But the princes of the Philistines have said: He shall not go up with us to the battle. 1 Ki. 29:9
And he said to Abiathar, the priest, the son of Achimelech: Bring me hither the ephod. And Abiathar brought the ephod to David. 1 Ki. 30:7
So David went, he and the six hundred men that were with him, and they came to the torrent Besor: and some, being weary, stayed there. 1 Ki. 30:9
But David pursued, he and four hundred men: for two hundred stayed, who, being weary, could not go over the torrent Besor. 1 Ki. 30:10
As also a piece of a cake of figs, and two bunches of raisins. And when he had eaten them, his spirit returned, and he was refreshed: for he had not eaten bread, nor drunk water, three days and three nights. 1 Ki. 30:12
And David said to him: To whom dost thou belong; or whence dost thou come? and whither art thou going? He said: I am a young man of Egypt, the servant of an Amalecite: and my master left me, because I began to be sick three days ago. 1 Ki. 30:13
And David said to him: Canst thou bring me to this company? and he said: Swear to me by God, that thou wilt not kill me, nor deliver me into the hands of my master, and I will bring thee to this company. And David swore to him. 1 Ki. 30:15
And when he had brought him, behold they were lying spread abroad upon all the ground, eating and drinking, and as it were keeping a festival day, for all the prey and the spoils which they had taken out of the land of the Philistines, and out of the land of Juda. 1 Ki. 30:16
So David recovered all that the Amalecites had taken, and he rescued his two wives. 1 Ki. 30:18
And he took all the flocks and the herds, and made them go before him: and they said: This is the prey of David. 1 Ki. 30:20
And David came to the two hundred men, who, being weary, had stayed, and were not able to follow David, and he had ordered them to abide at the torrent Besor: and they came out to meet David, and the people that were with him. And David coming to the people, saluted them peaceably. 1 Ki. 30:21
And the whole weight of the battle was turned upon Saul: and the archers overtook him, and he was grievously wounded by the archers. 1 Ki. 31:3
Then Saul said to his armourbearer: Draw thy sword, and kill me: lest these uncircumcised come, and slay me, and mock at me. And his armourbearer would not: for he was struck with exceeding great fear. Then Saul took his sword, and fell upon it. 1 Ki. 31:4
And when his armourbearer saw this, to wit, that Saul was dead, he also fell upon his sword and died with him. 1 Ki. 31:5
And on the third day, there appeared a man who came out of Saul's camp, with his garments rent, and dust strewed on his head: and when he came to David, he fell upon his face, and adored. 2 Ki. 1:2
And David said to him: From whence comest thou? And he said to him: I am fled out of the camp of Israel. 2 Ki. 1:3
And David said unto him: What is the matter that is come to pass? tell me: He said: The people are fled from the battle, and many of the people are fallen and dead: moreover Saul and Jonathan his son are slain. 2 Ki. 1:4
And looking behind him, and seeing me, he called me. And I answered, Here am I. 2 Ki. 1:7
And he said to me: Who art thou? And I said to him: I am an Amalecite. 2 Ki. 1:8
And he said to me: Stand over me, and kill me: for anguish is come upon me, and as yet my whole life is in me. 2 Ki. 1:9
So standing over him, I killed him: for I knew that he could not live after the fall: and I took the diadem that was on his head, and the bracelet that was on his arm, and have brought them hither to thee, my lord. 2 Ki. 1:10
And David said to the young man that told him: Whence art thou? He answered: I am the son of a stranger of Amalec. 2 Ki. 1:13
And David calling one of his servants, said: Go near and fall upon him. And he struck him so that he died. 2 Ki. 1:15
(Also he commanded that they should teach the children of Juda the use of the bow, as it is written in the book of the just.) And he said: Consider, O Israel, for them that are dead, wounded on thy high places. 2 Ki. 1:18
Ye mountains of Gelboe, let neither dew, nor rain come upon you, neither be they fields of firstfruits: for there was cast away the shield of the valiant, the shield of Saul as though he had not been anointed with oil. 2 Ki. 1:21
¤ And after these things David consulted the Lord, saying: Shall I go up into one of the cities of Juda? And the Lord said to him: Go up. And David said: Whither shall I go up? And he answered him: Into Hebron. 2 Ki. 2:1
Isboseth the son of Saul was forty years old when he began to reign over Israel, and he reigned two years; and only the house of Juda followed David. 2 Ki. 2:10
And Abner looked behind him, and said: Art thou Asael? And he answered: I am. 2 Ki. 2:20
But he refused to hearken to him, and would not turn aside: wherefore Abner struck him with his spear with a back stroke in the groin, and thrust him through, and he died upon the spot: and all that came to the place where Asael fell down and died stood still. 2 Ki. 2:23
And Joab returning, after he had left Abner, assembled all the people: and there were wanting of David's servants nineteen men, beside Asael. 2 Ki. 2:30
Why didst thou go in to my father's concubine? And he was exceedingly angry for the words of Isboseth, and said: Am I a dog's head against Juda this day, who have shewn mercy to the house of Saul thy father, and to his brethren and friends, and have not delivered thee into the hands of David, and hast thou sought this day against me to charge me with a matter concerning a woman? 2 Ki. 3:8
And he could not answer him a word, because he feared him. 2 Ki. 3:11
And he said: Very well: I will make a league with thee: but one thing I require of thee, saying: Thou shalt not see my face before thou bring Michol the daughter of Saul: and so thou shalt come, and see me. 2 Ki. 3:13
And her husband followed her, weeping as far as Bahurim: and Abner said to him: Go and return. And he returned. 2 Ki. 3:16
Abner also spoke to the ancients of Israel, saying: Both yesterday and the day before you sought for David that he might reign over you. 2 Ki. 3:17
And Abner spoke also to Benjamin. And he went to speak to David in Hebron all that seemed good to Israel, and to all Benjamin. 2 Ki. 3:19
And he came to David in Hebron with twenty men: and David made a feast for Abner, and his men that came with him. 2 Ki. 3:20
And Abner said to David: I will rise, that I may gather all Israel unto thee my lord the king, and may enter into a league with thee, and that thou mayst reign over all as thy soul desireth. Now when David had brought Abner on his way, and he was gone in peace, 2 Ki. 3:21
Immediately, David's servants and Joab came, after having slain the robbers, with an exceeding great booty. And Abner was not with David in Hebron, for he had now sent him away, and he was gone in peace. 2 Ki. 3:22
And Joab and all the army that was with him, came afterwards: and it was told Joab, that Abner the son of Ner came to the king, and he hath sent him away, and he is gone in peace. 2 Ki. 3:23
And Joab went in to the king, and said: What hast thou done? Behold Abner came to thee: Why didst thou send him away, and he is gone and departed? 2 Ki. 3:24
Knowest thou not Abner the son of Ner, that to this end he came to thee, that he might deceive thee, and to know thy going out, and thy coming in, and to know all thou dost? 2 Ki. 3:25
And when Abner was returned to Hebron, Joab took him aside to the middle of the gate, to speak to him treacherously: and he stabbed him there in the groin, and he died, in revenge of the blood of Asael his brother. 2 Ki. 3:27
And when David heard of it, after the thing was now done, he said: I, and my kingdom are innocent before the Lord for ever of the blood of Abner the son of Ner: 2 Ki. 3:28
So Joab and Abisai his brother slew Abner, because he had killed their brother Asael at Gabaon in the battle. 2 Ki. 3:30
And Jonathan the son of Saul had a son that was lame of his feet: for he was five years old when the tidings came of Saul and Jonathan from Jezrahel. And his nurse took him up and fled: and as she made haste to flee, he fell and became lame: and his name was Miphiboseth. 2 Ki. 4:4
And the sons of Remmon the Berothite, Rechab and Baana coming, went into the house of Isboseth in the heat of the day: and he was sleeping upon his bed at noon. And the doorkeeper of the house, who was cleansing wheat, was fallen asleep. 2 Ki. 4:5
For when they came into the house, he was sleeping upon his bed in a parlour, and they struck him and killed him and taking away his head they went off by the way of the wilderness, walking all night. 2 Ki. 4:7
The man that told me, and said: Saul is dead, who thought he brought good tidings, I apprehended, and slew him in Siceleg, who should have been rewarded for his news. 2 Ki. 4:10
Moreover yesterday also and the day before, when Saul was king over us, thou wast he that did lead out and bring in Israel: and the Lord said to thee: Thou shalt feed my people Israel, and thou shalt be prince over Israel. 2 Ki. 5:2
David was thirty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned forty years. 2 Ki. 5:4
In Hebron he reigned over Juda seven years and six months: and in Jerusalem he reigned three and thirty years over all Israel and Juda. 2 Ki. 5:5
And he went on prospering and growing up, and the Lord God of hosts was with him. 2 Ki. 5:10
And David knew that the Lord had confirmed him king over Israel, and that he had exalted his kingdom over his people Israel. 2 Ki. 5:12
And David took more concubines and wives of Jerusalem, after he was come from Hebron: and there were born to David other sons also and daughters: 2 Ki. 5:13
And the Philistines heard that they had anointed David to be king over Israel: and they all came to seek David: and when David heard of it, he went down to a strong hold. 2 Ki. 5:17
And David came to Baal Pharisim: and defeated them there, and he said, The Lord hath divided my enemies before me, as waters are divided. Therefore the name of the place was called Baal Pharisim. 2 Ki. 5:20
And David consulted the Lord: Shall I go up against the Philistines, and wilt thou deliver them into my hands? He answered: Go not up against them but fetch a compass behind them, and thou shalt come upon them over against the pear trees. 2 Ki. 5:23
And David did as the Lord had commanded him, and he smote the Philistines from Gabaa until thou come to Gezer. 2 Ki. 5:25
And the indignation of the Lord was enkindled against Oza, and he struck him for his rashness: and he died there before the ark of God. 2 Ki. 6:7
And he would not have the ark of the Lord brought in to himself into the city of David: but he caused it to be carried into the house of Obededom the Gethite. 2 Ki. 6:10
And it was told king David, that the Lord had blessed Obededom, and all that he had, because of the ark of God. So David went, and brought away the ark of God out of the house of Obededom into the city of David with joy. And there were with David seven choirs, and calves for victims. 2 Ki. 6:12
And when they that carried the ark of the Lord had gone six paces, he sacrificed an ox and a ram: 2 Ki. 6:13
And when he had made an end of offering holocausts and peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the Lord of hosts. 2 Ki. 6:18
And he distributed to all the multitude of Israel, both men and women, to every one, a cake of bread, and a piece of roasted beef, and fine flour fried with oil: and all the people departed every one to his house. 2 Ki. 6:19
He said to Nathan the prophet: Dost thou see that I dwell in a house of cedar, and the ark of God is lodged within skins? 2 Ki. 7:2
He shall build a house to my name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom for ever. 2 Ki. 7:13
I will be to him a father, and he shall be to me a son: and if he commit any iniquity, I will correct him with the rod of men, and with the stripes of the children of men. 2 Ki. 7:14
And he defeated Moab, and measured them with a line, casting them down to the earth: and he measured with two lines, one to put to death, and one to save alive: and Moab was made to serve David under tribute. 2 Ki. 8:2
David defeated also Adarezer the son of Rohob king of Soba, when he went to extend his dominion over the river Euphrates. 2 Ki. 8:3
And David put garrisons in Syria of Damascus: and Syria served David under tribute, and the Lord preserved David in all his enterprises, whithersoever he went. 2 Ki. 8:6
And Thou sent Joram his son to king David, to salute him, and to congratulate with him, and to return him thanks: because he had fought against Adarezer, and had defeated him. For Thou was an enemy to Adarezer, and in his hand were vessels of gold, and vessels of silver, and vessels of brass: 2 Ki. 8:10
And king David dedicated them to the Lord, together with the silver and gold that he had dedicated of all the nations, which he had subdued: 2 Ki. 8:11
David also made himself a name, when he returned after taking Syria in the valley of the saltpits, killing eighteen thousand: 2 Ki. 8:13
And he put guards in Edom, and placed there a garrison: and all Edom was made to serve David: and the Lord preserved David in all enterprises he went about. 2 Ki. 8:14
Now there was of the house of Saul, a servant named Siba: and when the king had called him to him, he said to him: Art thou Siba? And he answered: I am Siba thy servant. 2 Ki. 9:2
Where is he? said he. And Siba said to the king: Behold he is in the house of Machir the son of Ammiel in Lodabar. 2 Ki. 9:4
And when Miphiboseth the son of Jonathan the son of Saul was come to David, he fell on his face and worshipped. And David said: Miphiboseth? And he answered: Behold thy servant. 2 Ki. 9:6
He bowed down to him, and said: Who am I thy servant, that thou shouldst look upon such a dead dog as I am? 2 Ki. 9:8
Thou therefore and thy sons and thy servants shall till the land for him: and thou shalt bring in food for thy master's son, that he may be maintained: and Miphiboseth the son of thy master shall always eat bread at my table. And Siba had fifteen sons and twenty servants. 2 Ki. 9:10
But Miphiboseth dwelt in Jerusalem: because he ate always of the king's table: and he was lame of both feet. 2 Ki. 9:13
When this was told David, he sent to meet them: for the men were sadly put to confusion, and David commanded them, saying: Stay at Jericho, till your beards be grown, and then return. 2 Ki. 10:5
And when David heard this, he sent Joab and the whole army of warriors. 2 Ki. 10:7
And the rest of the people he delivered to Abisai his brother, who set them in array against the children of Ammon. 2 Ki. 10:10
And when this was told David, he gathered all Israel together, and passed over the Jordan, and came to Helam: and the Syrians set themselves in array against David, and fought against him. 2 Ki. 10:17
In the mean time it happened that David arose from his bed after noon, and walked upon the roof of the king's house: And he saw from the roof of his house a woman washing herself, over against him: and the woman was very beautiful. 2 Ki. 11:2
And David sent messengers, and took her, and she came in to him, and he slept with her: and presently she was purified from her uncleanness: 2 Ki. 11:4
And David called him to eat and to drink before him, and he made him drunk: and he went out in the evening, and slept on his couch with the servants of his lord, and went not down into his house. 2 Ki. 11:13
Writing in the letter: Set ye Urias in the front of the battle, where the fight is strongest: and leave ye him, that he may be wounded and die. 2 Ki. 11:15
Wherefore as Joab was besieging the city, he put Urias in the place where he knew the bravest men were. 2 Ki. 11:16
And he charged the messenger, saying: When thou hast told all the words of the battle to the king, 2 Ki. 11:19
If thou see him to be angry, and he shall say: Why did you approach so near to the wall to fight? knew you not that many darts are thrown from above off the wall? 2 Ki. 11:20
¤ And the Lord sent Nathan to David: and when he was come to him, he said to him: There were two men in one city, the one rich, and the other poor. 2 Ki. 12:1
But the poor man had nothing at all but one little ewe lamb, which he had bought and nourished up, and which had grown up in his house together with his children, eating of his bread, and drinking of his cup, and sleeping in his bosom: and it was unto him as a daughter. 2 Ki. 12:3
And when a certain stranger was come to the rich man, he spared to take of his own sheep and oxen, to make a feast for that stranger, who was come to him, but took the poor man's ewe, and dressed it for the man that was come to him. 2 Ki. 12:4
And David's anger being exceedingly kindled against that man, he said to Nathan: As the Lord liveth, the man that hath done this is a child of death. 2 Ki. 12:5
He shall restore the ewe fourfold, because he did this thing, and had no pity. 2 Ki. 12:6
Thus saith the Lord: Behold, I will raise up evil against thee out of thy own house, and I will take thy wives before thy eyes and give them to thy neighbour, and he shall lie with thy wives in the sight of this sun. 2 Ki. 12:11
And the ancients of his house came, to make him rise from the ground: but he would not, neither did he eat meat with them. 2 Ki. 12:17
And it came to pass on the seventh day that the child died: and the servants of David feared to tell him, that the child was dead. For they said: Behold when the child was yet alive, we spoke to him, and he would not hearken to our voice: how much more will he afflict himself if we tell him that the child is dead? 2 Ki. 12:18
But when David saw his servants whispering, he understood that the child was dead: and he said to his servants: Is the child dead? They answered him He is dead. 2 Ki. 12:19
Then David arose from the ground, and washed and anointed himself: and when he had changed his apparel, he went into the house of the Lord: and worshipped, and then he came into his own house, and he called for bread, and ate. 2 Ki. 12:20
And he said: While the child was yet alive, I fasted and wept for him: for I said: Who knoweth whether the Lord may not give him to me, and the child may live? 2 Ki. 12:22
But now that he is dead, why should I fast? Shall I be able to bring him back any more? I shall go to him rather: but he shall not return to me. 2 Ki. 12:23
And David comforted Bethsabee his wife, and went in unto her, and slept with her: and she bore a son, and he called his name Solomon, and the Lord loved him. 2 Ki. 12:24
And he sent by the hand of Nathan the prophet, and called his name, Amiable to the Lord, because the Lord loved him. 2 Ki. 12:25
Then David gathered all the people together, and went out against Rabbath: and after fighting, he took it. 2 Ki. 12:29
And he took the crown of their king from his head, the weight of which was a talent of gold, set with most precious stones, and it was put upon David's head, and the spoils of the city which were very great he carried away. 2 Ki. 12:30
And bringing forth the people thereof he sawed them, and drove over them chariots armed with iron: and divided them with knives, and made them pass through brickkilns: so did he to all the cities of the children of Ammon: and David returned, with all the army to Jerusalem. 2 Ki. 12:31
And he was exceedingly fond of her, so that he fell sick for the love of her: for as she was a virgin, he thought it hard to do any thing dishonestly with her. 2 Ki. 13:2
And he said to him: Why dost thou grow so lean from day to day, O son of the king? why dost thou not tell me the reason of it? And Ammon said to him: I am in love with Thamar the sister of my brother Absalom. 2 Ki. 13:4
So Ammon lay down, and made as if he were sick: and when the king came to visit him, Ammon said to the king: I pray thee let my sister Thamar come, and make in my sight two little messes, that I may eat at her hand. 2 Ki. 13:6
And Thamar came to the house of Ammon her brother: but he was laid down: and she took meal and tempered it: and dissolving it in his sight she made little messes. 2 Ki. 13:8
And taking what she had boiled, she poured it out, and set it before him, but he would not eat: and Ammon said: Put out all persons from me. And when they had put all persons out, 2 Ki. 13:9
And when she had presented him the meat, he took hold of her, and said: Come lie with me, my sister. 2 Ki. 13:11
For I shall not be able to bear my shame, and thou shalt be as one of the fools in Israel: but rather speak to the king, and he will not deny me to thee. 2 Ki. 13:13
But he would not hearken to her prayers, but being stronger overpowered her and lay with her. 2 Ki. 13:14
Then Ammon hated her with an exceeding great hatred: so that the hatred wherewith he hated her was greater than the love with which he had loved her before. And Ammon said to her: Arise, and get thee gone. 2 Ki. 13:15
She answered him: This evil which now thou dost against me, in driving me away, is greater than that which thou didst before. And he would not hearken to her: 2 Ki. 13:16
But calling the servants that ministered to him, he said: Thrust this woman out from me: and shut the door after her. 2 Ki. 13:17
And Absalom her brother said to her: Hath thy brother Ammon lain with thee? but now, sister, hold thy peace, he is thy brother: and afflict not thy heart for this thing. So Thamar remained pining away in the house of Absalom her brother. 2 Ki. 13:20
And when king David heard of these things he was exceedingly grieved: and he would not afflict the spirit of his son Ammon, for he loved him, because he was his firstborn. 2 Ki. 13:21
But Absalom spoke not to Ammon neither good nor evil: for Absalom hated Ammon because he had ravished his sister Thamar. 2 Ki. 13:22
And he came to the king, and said to him: Behold thy servant's sheep are shorn. Let the king, I pray, with his servants come to his servant. 2 Ki. 13:24
And the king said to Absalom: Nay, my son, do not ask that we should all come, and be chargeable to thee. And when he pressed him, and he would not go, he blessed him. 2 Ki. 13:25
And Absalom said: If thou wilt not come, at least let my brother Ammon, I beseech thee, come with us. And the king said to him: It is not necessary that he should go with thee. 2 Ki. 13:26
But Absalom pressed him, so that he let Ammon and all the king's sons go with him. And Absalom made a feast as it were the feast of a king. 2 Ki. 13:27
But Jonadab the son of Semmaa David's brother answering, said: Let not my lord the king think that all the king's sons are slain: Ammon only is dead, for he was appointed by the mouth of Absalom from the day that he ravished his sister Thamar. 2 Ki. 13:32
And when he made an end of speaking, the king's sons also appeared: and coming in they lifted up their voice, and wept: and the king also and all his servants wept very much. 2 Ki. 13:36
And Absalom after he was fled, and come into Gessur, was there three years. 2 Ki. 13:38
And king David ceased to pursue after Absalom, because he was comforted concerning the death of Ammon. 2 Ki. 13:39
And behold the whole kindred rising against thy handmaid, saith: Deliver him that hath slain his brother, that we may kill him for the life of his brother, whom he slew, and that we may destroy the heir: and they seek to quench my spark which is left, and will leave my husband no name, nor remainder upon the earth. 2 Ki. 14:7
And the king said: If any one shall say ought against thee, bring him to me, and he shall not touch thee any more. 2 Ki. 14:10
And she said: Let the king remember the Lord his God, that the next of kin be not multiplied to take revenge, and that they may not kill my son. And he said: As the Lord liveth, there shall not one hair of thy son fall to the earth. 2 Ki. 14:11
Then the woman said: Let thy hand maid speak one word to my lord the king. And he said: Speak. 2 Ki. 14:12
We all die, and like waters that return no more, we fall down into the earth: neither will God have a soul to perish, but recalleth, meaning that he that is cast off should not altogether perish. 2 Ki. 14:14
Then let thy handmaid say, that the word of the Lord the king be made as a sacrifice. For even as an angel of God, so is my lord the king, that he is neither moved with blessing nor cursing: wherefore the Lord thy God is also with thee. 2 Ki. 14:17
And the king said: Is not the hand of Joab with thee in all this? The woman answered, and said: By the health of thy soul, my lord, O king, it is neither on the left hand, nor on the right, in all these things which my lord the king hath spoken: for thy servant Joab, he commanded me, and he put all these words into the mouth of thy handmaid. 2 Ki. 14:19
And when he polled his hair (now he was polled once a year, because his hair was burdensome to him) he weighed the hair of his head at two hundred sicles, according to the common weight. 2 Ki. 14:26
He sent therefore to Joab, to send him to the king: but he would not come to him. And when he had sent the second time, and he would not come to him, 2 Ki. 14:29
He said to his servants: You know the field of Joab near my field, that hath a crop of barley: go now and set it on fire. So the servants of Absalom set the corn on fire. And Joab's servants coming with their garments rent, said: The servants of Absalom have set part of the field on fire. 2 Ki. 14:30
And Absalom answered Joab: I sent to thee beseeching thee to come to me, that I might send thee to the king, to say to him: Wherefore am I come from Gessur? it had been better for me to be there: I beseech thee therefore that I may see the face of the king: and if he be mindful of my iniquity, let him kill me. 2 Ki. 14:32
So Joab going in to the king, told him all: and Absalom was called for, and, he went in to the king: and prostrated himself on the ground before him: and the king kissed Absalom. 2 Ki. 14:33
And Absalom rising up early stood by the entrance of the gate, and when any man had business to come to the king's judgment, Absalom called him to him, and said: Of what city art thou? He answered, and said: Thy servant is of such a tribe of Israel. 2 Ki. 15:2
Moreover when any man came to him to salute him, he put forth his hand, and took him, and kissed him. 2 Ki. 15:5
And this he did to all Israel that came for judgment, to be heard by the king, and he enticed the hearts of the men of Israel. 2 Ki. 15:6
For thy servant made a vow, when he was in Gessur of Syria, saying: If the Lord shall bring me again into Jerusalem, I will offer sacrifice to the Lord. 2 Ki. 15:8
And king David said to him: Go in peace. And he arose, and went to Hebron. 2 Ki. 15:9
Absalom also sent for Achitophel the Gilonite, David's counsellor, from his city Gilo. And while he was offering sacrifices, there was a strong conspiracy, and the people running together increased with Absalom. 2 Ki. 15:12
And David said to his servants, that were with him in Jerusalem: Arise and let us flee: for we shall not escape else from the face of Absalom: make haste to go out, lest he come and overtake us, and bring ruin upon us, and smite the city with the edge of the sword. 2 Ki. 15:14
And the king said to Sadoc: Carry back the ark of God into the city: if I shall find grace in the sight of the Lord, he will bring me again, and he will shew me it, and his tabernacle. 2 Ki. 15:25
But if he shall say to me: Thou pleasest me not: I am ready, let him do that which is good before him. 2 Ki. 15:26
And when David was come to the top of the mountain, where he was about to adore the Lord, behold Chusai the Arachite, came to meet him with his garment rent and his head covered with earth. 2 Ki. 15:32
And the king said: Where is thy master's son? And Siba answered the king: He remained in Jerusalem, saying: To day, will the house of Israel restore me the kingdom of my father. 2 Ki. 16:3
And king David came as far as Bahurim: and behold there came out from thence a man of the kindred of the house of Saul named Semei, the son of Gera, and coming out he cursed as he went on, 2 Ki. 16:5
And he threw stones at David, and at all the servants of king David: and all the people, and all the warriors walked on the right, and on the left side of the king. 2 Ki. 16:6
And thus said Semei when he cursed the king: Come out, come out, thou man of blood, and thou man of Belial. 2 Ki. 16:7
And the king said: What have I to do with you, ye sons of Sarvia? Let him alone and let him curse: for the Lord hath bid him curse David: and who is he that shall dare say, why hath he done so? 2 Ki. 16:10
And the king said to Abisai, and to all his servants: Behold my son, who came forth from my bowels, seeketh my life: how much more now a son of Jemini? let him alone that he may curse as the Lord hath bidden him. 2 Ki. 16:11
And when Chusai the Arachite, David's friend, was come to Absalom, he said to him: God save thee, O king, God save thee, O king. 2 Ki. 16:16
And Achitophel said to Absalom: Go in to the concubines of thy father, whom he hath left to keep the house: that when all Israel shall hear that thou hast disgraced thy father, their hands may be strengthened with thee. 2 Ki. 16:21
So they spread a tent for Absalom on the top of the house, and he went in to his father's concubines before all Israel. 2 Ki. 16:22
Now the counsel of Achitophel, which he gave in those days, was as if a man should consult God: so was all the counsel of Achitophel, both when he was with David, and when he was with Absalom. 2 Ki. 16:23
And coming upon him (for he is now weary, and weak handed) I will defeat him: and when all the people is put to flight that is with him, I will kill the king who will be left alone. 2 Ki. 17:2
But Absalom said: Call Chusai the Arachite, and let us hear what he also saith. 2 Ki. 17:5
Perhaps he now lieth hid in pits, or in some other place where he liest: and when any one shall fall at the first, every one that heareth it shall say: There is a slaughter among the people that followed Absalom. 2 Ki. 17:9
And we shall come upon him in what place soever he shall be found: and we shall cover him, as the dew falleth upon the ground, and we shall not leave of the men that are with him, not so much as one. 2 Ki. 17:12
And if he shall enter into any city, all Israel shall cast ropes round about that city, and we will draw it into the river, so that there shall not be found so much as one small stone thereof. 2 Ki. 17:13
But David came to the camp, and Absalom passed over the Jordan, he and all the men of Israel with him. 2 Ki. 17:24
And it happened that Absalom met the servants of David, riding on a mule: and as the mule went under a thick and large oak, his head stuck in the oak: and while he hung between the heaven and the earth, the mule on which he rode passed on. 2 Ki. 18:9
And he said to Joab: If thou wouldst have paid down in my hands a thousand pieces of silver, I would not lay my hands upon the king's son for in our hearing the king charged thee, and Abisai, and Ethai, saying: Save me the boy Absalom. 2 Ki. 18:12
And Joab said: Not as thou wilt, but I will set upon him in thy sight. So he took three lances in his hand, and thrust them into the heart of Absalom: and whilst he yet panted for life, sticking on the oak, 2 Ki. 18:14
Now Absalom had reared up for himself, in his lifetime, a pillar, which is in the king's valley: for he said: I have no son, and this shall be the monument of my name. And he called the pillar by his own name, and it is called the hand of Absalom, to this day. 2 Ki. 18:18
He answered: But what if I run? And he said to him: Run. Then Achimaas running by a nearer way passed Chusai. 2 Ki. 18:23
And crying out he told the king: and the king said: If he be alone, there are good tidings in his mouth. And as he was coming apace, and drawing nearer, 2 Ki. 18:25
The watchman saw another man running, and crying aloud from above, he said: I see another man running alone. And the king said: He also is a good messenger. 2 Ki. 18:26
And the watchman said: The running of the foremost seemeth to me like the running of Achimaas the son of Sadoc. And the king said: He is a good man: and cometh with good news. 2 Ki. 18:27
And Achimaas crying out, said to the king: God save thee, O king. And falling down before the king with his face to the ground, he said: Blessed be the Lord thy God, who hath shut up the men that have lifted up their hands against the lord my king. 2 Ki. 18:28
And when he had passed, and stood still, Chusai appeared and coming up he said: I bring good tidings, my lord, the king, for the Lord hath judged for thee this day from the hand of all that have risen up against thee. 2 Ki. 18:31
The king therefore being much moved, went up to the high chamber over the gate, and wept. And as he went he spoke in this manner: My son Absalom, Absalom my son: would to God that I might die for thee, Absalom my son, my son Absalom. 2 Ki. 18:33
And all the people were at strife in all the tribes of Israel, saying: The king delivered us out of the hand of our enemies, and he saved us out of the hand of the Philistines: and now he is fled out of the land for Absalom. 2 Ki. 19:9
And he inclined the heart of all the men of Juda, as it were of one man: and they sent to the king, saying: Return thou, and all thy servants. 2 Ki. 19:14
They passed the fords before the king, that they might help over the king's household, and do according to his commandment. And Semei the son of Gera falling down before the king, when he was come over the Jordan, 2 Ki. 19:18
But Abisai the son of Sarvia answering, said: Shall Semei for these words not be put to death, because he cursed the Lord's anointed? 2 Ki. 19:21
And the king said to Semei: Thou shalt not die. And he swore unto him. 2 Ki. 19:23
And Miphiboseth the son of Saul came down to meet the king, and he had neither washed his feet, nor trimmed his beard: nor washed his garments from the day that the king went out, until the day of his return in peace. 2 Ki. 19:24
And when he met the king at Jerusalem, the king said to him: Why camest thou not with me, Miphiboseth? 2 Ki. 19:25
And he answering, said: My lord, O king, my servant despised me: for I thy servant spoke to him to saddle me an ass, that I might get on and go with the king: for I thy servant am lame. 2 Ki. 19:26
Moreover he hath also accused me thy servant to thee, my lord the king: but thou my lord the king art as an angel of God, do what pleaseth thee. 2 Ki. 19:27
Now Berzellai the Galaadite was of a great age, that is to say, fourscore years old, and he provided the king with sustenance when he abode in the camp: for he was a man exceeding rich. 2 Ki. 19:32
And when all the people and the king had passed over the Jordan, the king kissed Berzellai, and blessed him: and he returned to his own place. 2 Ki. 19:39
¤ And there happened to be there a man of Belial, whose name was Seba, the son of Bochri, a man of Jemini: and he sounded the trumpet, and said: We have no part in David, nor inheritance in the son of Isai: return to thy dwellings, O Israel. 2 Ki. 20:1
And when the king was come into his house at Jerusalem, he took the ten women his concubines, whom he had left to keep the house, and put them inward, allowing them provisions: and he went not in unto them, but they were shut up unto the day of their death living in widowhood. 2 Ki. 20:3
So Amasa went to assemble the men of Juda, but he tarried beyond the set time which the king had appointed him. 2 Ki. 20:5
And David said to Abisai: Now will Seba the son of Bochri do us more harm than did Absalom: take thou therefore the servants of thy lord, and pursue after him, lest he find fenced cities, and escape us. 2 Ki. 20:6
And Joab said to Amasa: God save thee, my brother. And he took Amasa by the chin with his right hand to kiss him. 2 Ki. 20:9
But Amasa did not take notice of the sword, which Joab had, and he struck him in the side, and shed out his bowels to the ground, and gave him not a second wound, and he died. And Joab, and Abisai his brother pursued after Seba the son of Bochri. 2 Ki. 20:10
In the mean time some men of Joab's company stopping at the dead body of Amasa, said: Behold he that would have been in Joab's stead the companion of David. 2 Ki. 20:11
And Amasa imbrued with blood, lay in the midst of the way. A certain man saw this that all the people stood still to look upon him, so he removed Amasa out of the highway into the field, and covered him with a garment, that they who passed might, not stop on his account. 2 Ki. 20:12
And when he was removed out of the way, all the people went on following Joab to pursue after Seba the son of Bochri. 2 Ki. 20:13
Now he had passed through all the tribes of Israel unto Abela and Bethmaacha: and all the chosen men were gathered together unto him. 2 Ki. 20:14
And when he was come near to her, she said to him: Art thou Joab? And he answered: I am. And she spoke thus to him: Hear the words of thy handmaid. He answered: I do hear. 2 Ki. 20:17
So she went to all the people, and spoke to them wisely: and they cut off the head of Seba the son of Bochri, and cast it out to Joab. And he sounded the trumpet, and they departed from the city, every one to their home: and Joab returned to Jerusalem to the king. 2 Ki. 20:22
¤ And there was a famine in the days of David for three years successively: and David consulted the oracle of the Lord. And the Lord said: It is for Saul, and his bloody house, because he slew the Gabaonites. 2 Ki. 21:1
And he brought from thence the bones of Saul, and the bones of Jonathan his son, and they gathered up the bones of them that were crucified, 2 Ki. 21:13
A fourth battle was in Geth: where there was a man of great stature, that had six fingers on each hand, and six toes on each foot, four and twenty in all, and he was of the race of Arapha. 2 Ki. 21:20
And he reproached Israel: and Jonathan the son of Samae the brother of David slew him. 2 Ki. 21:21
And he said: The Lord is my rock, and my strength, and my saviour. 2 Ki. 22:2
God is my strong one, in him will I trust: my shield, and the horn of my salvation: he lifteth me up, and is my refuge: my saviour, thou wilt deliver me from iniquity. 2 Ki. 22:3
In my distress I will call upon the Lord, and I will cry to my God: and he will hear my voice out of his temple, and my cry shall come to his ears. 2 Ki. 22:7
The earth shook and trembled, the foundations of the mountains were moved, and shaken, because he was angry with them. 2 Ki. 22:8
He bowed the heavens, and came down: and darkness was under his feet. 2 Ki. 22:10
And he rode upon the cherubims, and flew: and slid upon the wings of the wind. 2 Ki. 22:11
He made darkness a covering round about him: dropping waters out of the clouds of the heavens. 2 Ki. 22:12
He shot arrows and scattered them: lightning, and consumed them. 2 Ki. 22:15
He sent from on high, and took me, and drew me out of many waters. 2 Ki. 22:17
He delivered me from my most mighty enemy, and from them that hated me: for they were too strong for me. 2 Ki. 22:18
He prevented me in the day of my affliction, and the Lord became my stay. 2 Ki. 22:19
And he brought me forth into a large place, he delivered me, because I pleased him. 2 Ki. 22:20
The Lord will reward me according to my justice: and according to the cleanness of my hands he will render to me. 2 Ki. 22:21
God, his way is immaculate, the word of the Lord is tried by fire: he is the shield of all that trust in him. 2 Ki. 22:31
He teacheth my hands to war: and maketh my arms like a bow of brass. 2 Ki. 22:35
They shall cry, and there shall be none to save: to the Lord, and he shall not hear them. 2 Ki. 22:42
Neither is my house so great with God, that he should make with me an eternal covenant, firm in all things and assured. For he is all my salvation, and all my will: neither is there ought thereof that springeth not up. 2 Ki. 23:5
And if a man will touch them, he must be armed with iron and with the staff of a lance: but they shall be set on fire and burnt to nothing. 2 Ki. 23:7
These are the names of the valiant men of David: Jesbaham sitting in the chair was the wisest chief among the three, he was like the most tender little worm of the wood, who killed eight hundred men at one onset. 2 Ki. 23:8
And when the men of Israel were gone away, he stood and smote the Philistines till his hand was weary, and grew stiff with the sword: and the Lord wrought a great victory that day: and the people that were fled away, returned to take spoils of them that were slain. 2 Ki. 23:10
He stood in the midst of the field, and defended it, and defeated the Philistines: and the Lord gave a great victory. 2 Ki. 23:12
And the three valiant men broke through the camp of the Philistines, and drew water out of the cistern of Bethlehem, that was by the gate, and brought it to David: but he would not drink, but offered it to the Lord, 2 Ki. 23:16
Saying: The Lord be merciful to me, that I may not do this: shall I drink the blood of these men that went, and the peril of their lives? therefore he would not drink. These things did these three mighty men. 2 Ki. 23:17
Abisai also the brother of Joab, the son of Sarvia, was chief among three: and he lifted up his spear against three hundred whom he slew, and he was renowned among the three, 2 Ki. 23:18
And the noblest of three, and was their chief, but to the three first he attained not. 2 Ki. 23:19
And Banaias the son of Joiada a most valiant man, of great deeds, of Cabseel: he slew the two lions of Moab, and he went down, and slew a lion in the midst of a pit, in the time of snow. 2 Ki. 23:20
He also slew an Egyptian, a man worthy to be a sight, having a spear in his hand: but he went down to him with a rod, and forced the spear out of the hand of the Egyptian, and slew him with his own spear. 2 Ki. 23:21
And he was renowned among the three valiant men, who were the most honourable among the thirty: but he attained not to the first three: and David made him of his privy council. 2 Ki. 23:23
And when Gad was come to David, he told him, saying: Either seven years of famine shall come to thee in thy land: or thou shalt flee three months before thy adversaries, and they shall pursue thee: or for three days there shall be a pestilence in thy land. Now therefore deliberate, and see what answer I shall return to him that sent me. 2 Ki. 24:13
And David said to the Lord, when he saw the angel striking the people: It is I; I am he that have sinned, I have done wickedly: these that are the sheep, what have they done? let thy hand, I beseech thee, be turned against me, and against my father's house. 2 Ki. 24:17
And going out he worshipped the king, bowing with his face to the earth, and said: Wherefore is my lord the king come to his servant? And David said to him: To buy the thrashingfloor of thee, and build an altar to the Lord, that the plague, which rageth among the people, may cease. 2 Ki. 24:21
‡ ¤ Now king David was old, and advanced in years: and when he was covered with clothes he was not warm. 3 Ki. 1:1
And Adonias, the son of Haggith, exalted himself, saying: I will be king. And he made himself chariots and horsemen, and fifty men to run before him. 3 Ki. 1:5
Neither did his father rebuke him at any time, saying: Why hast thou done this? And he also was very beautiful, the next in birth after Absalom. 3 Ki. 1:6
And he conferred with Joab, the son of Sarvia, and with Abiathar, the priest, who furthered Adonias's side. 3 Ki. 1:7
But Nathan, the prophet, and Banaias, and all the valiant men, and Solomon, his brother, he invited not. 3 Ki. 1:10
Go, and get thee in to king David, and say to him: Didst not thou, my lord, O king, swear to me, thy handmaid, saying: Solomon, thy son, shall reign after me, and he shall sit on my throne? why then doth Adonias reign? 3 Ki. 1:13
She answered, and said: My lord, thou didst swear to thy handmaid, by the Lord thy God, saying: Solomon, thy son, shall reign after me, and he shall sit on my throne. 3 Ki. 1:17
He hath killed oxen, and all fat cattle, and many rams, and invited all the king's sons, and Abiathar, the priest, and Joab, the general of the army: but Solomon, thy servant, he invited not. 3 Ki. 1:19
And they told the king, saying: Nathan, the prophet, is here. And when he was come in before the king, and had worshipped, bowing down to the ground, 3 Ki. 1:23
Because he is gone down to day, and hath killed oxen, and fatlings, and many rams, and invited all the king's sons, and the captains of the army, and Abiathar the priest: and they are eating and drinking before him, and saying: God save king Adonias: 3 Ki. 1:25
But me, thy servant, and Sadoc, the priest, and Banaias, the son of Joiada, and Solomon, thy servant, he hath not invited. 3 Ki. 1:26
Even as I swore to thee, by the Lord, the God of Israel, saying: Solomon thy son, shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne in my stead, so will I do this day. 3 Ki. 1:30
He said to them: Take with you the servants of your lord, and set my son Solomon upon my mule: and bring him to Gihon: 3 Ki. 1:33
And you shall come up after him, and he shall come, and shall sit upon my throne, and he shall reign in my stead: and I will appoint him to be ruler over Israel, and over Juda. 3 Ki. 1:35
As the Lord hath been with my lord the king, so be he with Solomon, and make his throne higher than the throne of my lord king David. 3 Ki. 1:37
While he yet spoke, Jonathan, the son of Abiathar, the priest, came: and Adonias said to him: Come in, because thou art a valiant man, and bringest good news. 3 Ki. 1:42
And he said: Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel, who hath given this day one to sit on my throne, my eyes seeing it. 3 Ki. 1:48
And they told Solomon, saying: Behold Adonias fearing king Solomon, hath taken hold of the horn of the altar, saying: Let king Solomon swear to me this day, that he will not kill his servant with the sword. 3 Ki. 1:51
And Solomon said: If he be a good man, there shall not so much as one hair of his head fall to the ground: but if evil be found in him, he shall die. 3 Ki. 1:52
Then king Solomon sent, and brought him out from the altar: and going in, he worshipped king Solomon: and Solomon said to him: Go to thy house. 3 Ki. 1:53
¤ And the days of David drew nigh that he should die, and he charged his son Solomon, saying: 3 Ki. 2:1
That the Lord may confirm his words, which he hath spoken of me, saying: If thy children shall take heed to their ways, and shall walk before me in truth, with all their heart, and with all their soul, there shall not be taken away from thee a man on the throne of Israel. 3 Ki. 2:4
Thou knowest also what Joab, the son of Sarvia, hath done to me, what he did to the two captains of the army of Israel, to Abner, the son of Ner, and to Amasa, the son of Jether: whom he slew, and shed the blood of war in peace, and put the blood of war on his girdle that was about his loins, and in his shoes that were on his feet. 3 Ki. 2:5
Thou hast also with thee Semei, the son of Gera, the son of Jemini, of Bahurim, who cursed me with a grievous curse, when I went to the camp: but because he came down to meet me when I passed over the Jordan, and I swore to him by the Lord, saying: I will not kill thee with the sword: 3 Ki. 2:8
And the days that David reigned in Israel, were forty years: in Hebron he reigned seven years, in Jerusalem thirty-three. 3 Ki. 2:11
And Adonias, the son of Haggith, came to Bethsabee the mother of Solomon. And she said to him: Is thy coming peaceable? He answered: It is peaceable. 3 Ki. 2:13
And he added: I have a word to speak with thee. She said to him: Speak. And he said: 3 Ki. 2:14
And he said I pray thee speak to king Solomon (for he cannot deny thee any thing) to give me Abisag, the Sunamitess, to wife. 3 Ki. 2:17
And king Solomon answered, and said to his mother: Why dost thou ask Abisag, the Sunamitess, for Adonias? ask for him also the kingdom; for he is my elder brother, and hath Abiathar, the priest, and Joab, the son of Sarvia. 3 Ki. 2:22
And now, as the Lord liveth, who hath established me, and placed me upon the throne of David, my father, and who hath made me a house, as he promised, Adonias shall be put to death this day. 3 Ki. 2:24
And king Solomon sent by the hand of Banaias, the son of Joiada, who slew him, and he died. 3 Ki. 2:25
So Solomon cast out Abiathar from being the priest of the Lord, that the word of the Lord might be fulfilled, which he spoke concerning the house of Heli in Silo. 3 Ki. 2:27
And Banaias came to the tabernacle of the Lord, and said to him: Thus saith the king: Come forth. And he said: I will not come forth, but here I will die. Banaias brought word back to the king, saying: Thus saith Joab, and thus he answered me. 3 Ki. 2:30
And the king said to him: Do as he hath said; and kill him, and bury him, and thou shalt remove the innocent blood which hath been shed by Joab, from me, and from the house of my father: 3 Ki. 2:31
And the Lord shall return his blood upon his own head; because he murdered two men, just and better than himself: and slew them with the sword, my father, David, not knowing it; Abner, the son of Ner, general of the army of Israel, and Amasa, the son of Jether general of the army of Juda; 3 Ki. 2:32
So Banaias, the son of Joiada, went up, and setting upon him slew him, and he was buried in his house in the desert. 3 Ki. 2:34
And the king appointed Banaias, the son of Joiada in his room over the army; and Sadoc, the priest, he put in the place of Abiathar. 3 Ki. 2:35
And Semei arose, and saddled his ass, and went to Achis, to Geth, to seek his servants, and he brought them out of Geth. 3 Ki. 2:40
And sending he called for him, and said to him: Did I not protest to thee by the Lord, and tell thee before: On what day soever thou shalt go out and walk abroad any where, know that thou shalt die? And thou answeredst me: The word that I have heard is good. 3 Ki. 2:42
So the king commanded Banaias, the son of Joiada: and he went out and struck him; and he died. 3 Ki. 2:46
¤ And the kingdom was established in the hand of Solomon, and he made affinity with Pharao, the king of Egypt: for he took his daughter, and brought her into the city of David: until he had made an end of building his own house, and the house of the Lord, and the wall of Jerusalem round about. 3 Ki. 3:1
And Solomon loved the Lord, walking in the precepts of David, his father; only he sacrificed in the high places, and burnt incense. 3 Ki. 3:3
He went therefore to Gabaon, to sacrifice there: for that was the great high place: a thousand victims for holocausts, did Solomon offer upon that altar, in Gabaon. 3 Ki. 3:4
And Solomon said: Thou hast shewed great mercy to thy servant David, my father, even as he walked before thee in truth, and justice, and an upright heart with thee: and thou hast kept thy great mercy for him, and hast given him a son to sit on his throne, as it is this day. 3 Ki. 3:6
And Solomon awaked, and perceived that it was a dream: and when he was come to Jerusalem, he stood before the ark of the covenant of the Lord, and offered holocausts, and sacrificed victims of peace offerings, and made a great feast for all his servants. 3 Ki. 3:15
Divide, said he, the living child in two, and give half to the one and half to the other. 3 Ki. 3:25
And these were the princes which he had: Azarias, the son of Sadoc, the priest: 3 Ki. 4:2
Benabinadab, to whom belonged all Nephath-Dor: he had Tapheth, the daughter of Solomon, to wife. 3 Ki. 4:11
Bengaber, in Ramoth Galaad: he had the towns of Jair, the son of Manasses, in Galaad: he was chief in all the country of Argob, which is in Basan, threescore great cities with walls, and brazen bolts. 3 Ki. 4:13
Achimaas, in Nephthali: he also had Basemath, the daughter of Solomon, to wife. 3 Ki. 4:15
For he had all the country which was beyond the river, from Thaphsa to Gazan, and all the kings of those countries: and he had peace on every side round about. 3 Ki. 4:24
And he was wiser than all men: wiser than Ethan, the Ezrahite, and Heman, and Chalcol, and Dorda, the sons of Mahol, and he was renowned in all nations round about. 3 Ki. 4:31
And he treated about trees, from the cedar that is in Libanus, unto the hyssop that cometh out of the wall: and he discoursed of beasts, and of fowls, and of creeping things, and of fishes. 3 Ki. 4:33
¤ And Hiram, king of Tyre, sent his servants to Solomon: for he heard that they had anointed him king in the room of his father: for Hiram had always been David's friend. 3 Ki. 5:1
Thou knowest the will of David, my father, and that he could not build a house to the name of the Lord his God, because of the wars that were round about him, until the Lord put them under the soles of his feet. 3 Ki. 5:3
Wherefore I purpose to build a temple to the name of the Lord my God, as the Lord spoke to David my father, saying: Thy son, whom I will set upon the throne, in thy place, he shall build a house to my name. 3 Ki. 5:5
Now when Hiram had heard the words of Solomon, he rejoiced exceedingly, and said: Blessed be the Lord God this day, who hath given to David a very wise son over this numerous people. 3 Ki. 5:7
And the Lord gave wisdom to Solomon, as he promised him: and there was peace between Hiram and Solomon, and they two made a league together. 3 Ki. 5:12
And he sent them to Libanus, ten thousand every month, by turns, so that two months they were at home: and Adoniram was over this levy. 3 Ki. 5:14
¤ And it came to pass in the four hundred and eightieth year after the children of Israel came out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year of the reign of Solomon over Israel, in the month Zio, (the same is the second month) he began to build a house to the Lord. 3 Ki. 6:1
And he made in the temple oblique windows. 3 Ki. 6:4
And upon the wall of the temple, he built floors round about, in the walls of the house, round about the temple and the oracle, and he made chambers in the sides round about. 3 Ki. 6:5
The floor that was underneath was five cubits in breadth, and the middle floor was six cubits in breadth, and the third floor was seven cubits in breadth. And he put beams in the house round about on the outside, that they might not be fastened in the walls of the temple. 3 Ki. 6:6
So he built the house, and finished it: and he covered the house with roofs of cedar. 3 Ki. 6:9
And he built a floor over all the house, five cubits in height, and he covered the house with timber of cedar. 3 Ki. 6:10
And he built the walls of the house on the inside, with boards of cedar, from the floor of the house to the top of the walls, and to the roofs, he covered it with boards of cedar on the inside: and he covered the floor of the house with planks of fir. 3 Ki. 6:15
And he built up twenty cubits with boards of cedar at the hinder part of the temple, from the floor to the top: and made the inner house of the oracle to be the holy of holies. 3 Ki. 6:16
And he made the oracle in the midst of the house, in the inner part, to set there the ark of the covenant of the Lord. 3 Ki. 6:19
Now the oracle was twenty cubits in length, and twenty cubits in breadth, and twenty cubits in height. And he covered it, and overlaid it with most pure gold. And the altar also he covered with cedar. 3 Ki. 6:20
And the house before the oracle he overlaid with most pure gold, and fastened on the plates with nails of gold. 3 Ki. 6:21
And there was nothing in the temple that was not covered with gold: the whole altar of the oracle he covered also with gold. 3 Ki. 6:22
And he made in the oracle two cherubims of olive tree, of ten cubits in height. 3 Ki. 6:23
And he set the cherubims in the midst of the inner temple: and the cherubims stretched forth their wings, and the wing of the one touched one wall, and the wing of the other cherub touched the other wall: and the other wings in the midst of the temple touched one another. 3 Ki. 6:27
And he overlaid the cherubims with gold. 3 Ki. 6:28
And all the walls of the temple round about he carved with divers figures and carvings: and he made in them cherubims and palm trees, and divers representations, as it were standing out, and coming forth from the wall. 3 Ki. 6:29
And the floor of the house he also overlaid with gold within and without. 3 Ki. 6:30
And in the entrance of the oracle, he made little doors of olive tree, and posts of five corners, 3 Ki. 6:31
And two doors of olive tree: and he carved upon them figures of cherubims, and figures of palm trees, and carvings very much projecting; and he overlaid them with gold: and he covered both the cherubims and the palm trees, and the other things, with gold. 3 Ki. 6:32
And he made in the entrance of the temple posts of olive tree foursquare: 3 Ki. 6:33
And he carved cherubims, and palm trees, and carved work standing very much out: and he overlaid all with golden plates in square work by rule. 3 Ki. 6:35
And he built the inner court with three rows of polished stones, and one row of beams of cedar. 3 Ki. 6:36
And in the eleventh year, in the month Bul. (which is the eighth month) the house was finished in all the works thereof, and in all the appurtenances thereof: and he was seven years in building it. 3 Ki. 6:38
He built also the house of the forest of Libanus; the length of it was a hundred cubits, and the breadth fifty cubits, and the height thirty cubits: and four galleries between pillars of cedar: for he had cut cedar trees into pillars. 3 Ki. 7:2
And he covered the whole vault with boards of cedar, and it was held up with five and forty pillars. And one row had fifteen pillars, 3 Ki. 7:3
And he made a porch of pillars of fifty cubits in length, and thirty cubits in breadth: and another porch before the greater porch, and pillars, and chapiters upon the pillars. 3 Ki. 7:6
He made also the porch of the throne wherein is the seat of judgment; and covered it with cedar wood from the floor to the top. 3 Ki. 7:7
And in the midst of the porch, was a small house, where he sat in judgment of the like work. He made also a house for the daughter of Pharao (whom Solomon had taken to wife) of the same work, as this porch; 3 Ki. 7:8
The son of a widow woman, of the tribe of Nephthali, whose father was a Tyrian, an artificer in brass, and full of wisdom, and understanding, and skill to work all work in brass. And when he was come to king Solomon, he wrought all his work. 3 Ki. 7:14
And he cast two pillars in brass, each pillar was eighteen cubits high: and a line of twelve cubits compassed both the pillars. 3 Ki. 7:15
He made also two chapiters of molten brass, to be set upon the tops of the pillars: the height of one chapiter was five cubits, and the height of the other chapiter was five cubits: 3 Ki. 7:16
And he made the pillars, and two rows round about each network to cover the chapiters, that were upon the top, with pomegranates: and in like manner did he to the other chapiter. 3 Ki. 7:18
And he set up the two pillars in the porch of the temple: and when he had set up the pillar on the right hand, he called the name thereof Jachin: in like manner he set up the second pillar, and called the name thereof Booz. 3 Ki. 7:21
And upon the tops of the pillars he made lily work: so the work of the pillars was finished. 3 Ki. 7:22
He made also a molten sea, of ten cubits, from brim to brim, round all about; the height of it was five cubits, and a line of thirty cubits compassed it round about. 3 Ki. 7:23
And he made ten bases of brass, every base was four cubits in length, and four cubits in breadth, and three cubits high. 3 Ki. 7:27
He engraved also in those plates, which were of brass, and in the corners, cherubims, and lions, and palm trees, in likeness of a man standing, so that they seemed not to be engraven, but added round about. 3 Ki. 7:36
After this manner, he made ten bases, of one casting and measure, and the like graving. 3 Ki. 7:37
He made also ten lavers of brass: one laver contained four bases, and was of four cubits: and upon every base, in all ten, he put as many lavers. 3 Ki. 7:38
And he set the ten bases, five on the right side of the temple, and five on the left: and the sea he put on the right side of the temple, over against the east southward. 3 Ki. 7:39
And Solomon finished all the work that he made in the house of the Lord, and brought in the things that David, his father, had dedicated, the silver and the gold, and the vessels, and laid them up in the treasures of the house of the Lord. 3 Ki. 7:51
Then Solomon said: The Lord said that he would dwell in a cloud. 3 Ki. 8:12
Nevertheless, thou shalt not build me a house, but thy son, that shall come forth out of thy loins, he shall build a house to my name. 3 Ki. 8:19
The Lord hath performed his word which he spoke. And I stand in the room of David, my father, and sit upon the throne of Israel, as the Lord promised: and have built a house to the name of the Lord, the God of Israel. 3 Ki. 8:20
And I have set there a place for the ark, wherein is the covenant of the Lord, which he made with our fathers, when they came out of the land of Egypt. 3 Ki. 8:21
If any man trespass against his neighbour, and have an oath upon him, wherewith he is bound, and come, because of the oath, before thy altar, to thy house, 3 Ki. 8:31
Moreover also the stranger, who is not of thy people Israel, when he shall come out of a far country for thy name's sake, (for they shall hear every where of thy great name, and thy mighty hand, 3 Ki. 8:41
And thy stretched out arm) so when he shall come, and shall pray in this place, 3 Ki. 8:42
And it came to pass, when Solomon had made an end of praying all this prayer and supplication to the Lord, that he rose from before the altar of the Lord: for he had fixed both knees on the ground, and had spread his hands towards heaven. 3 Ki. 8:54
And he stood, and blessed all the assembly of Israel with a loud voice, saying: 3 Ki. 8:55
Blessed be the Lord, who hath given rest to his people Israel, according to all that he promised: there hath not failed so much as one word of all the good things that he promised by his servant Moses. 3 Ki. 8:56
The Lord our God be with us, as he was with our fathers, and not leave us, nor cast us off: 3 Ki. 8:57
But may he incline our hearts to himself, that we may walk in all his ways, and keep his commandments, and his ceremonies, and all his judgments, which he commanded our fathers. 3 Ki. 8:58
And let these my words, wherewith I have prayed before the Lord, be nigh unto the Lord our God day and night, that he may do judgment for his servant, and for his people Israel, day by day: 3 Ki. 8:59
That all the people of the earth may know, that the Lord he is God, and there is no other besides him. 3 Ki. 8:60
And Solomon slew victims of peace offerings, which he sacrificed to the Lord, two and twenty thousand oxen, and a hundred and twenty thousand sheep so the king, and all the children of Israel, dedicated the temple of the Lord. 3 Ki. 8:63
In that day the king sanctified the middle of the court, that was before the house of the Lord for there he offered the holocaust, and sacrifice, and the fat of the peace offerings: because the brazen altar that was before the Lord, was too little to receive the holocaust, and sacrifice, and the fat of the peace offerings. 3 Ki. 8:64
And on the eighth day, he sent away the people: and they blessed the king, and went to their dwellings, rejoicing, and glad in heart, for all the good things that the Lord had done for David, his servant, and for Israel, his people. 3 Ki. 8:66
¤ And it came to pass when Solomon had finished the building of the house of the Lord, and the king's house, and all that he desired and was pleased to do, 3 Ki. 9:1
That the Lord appeared to him the second time, as he had appeared to him in Gabaon. 3 Ki. 9:2
(Hiram, the king of Tyre, furnishing Solomon with cedar trees, and fir trees, and gold, according to all he had need of) then Solomon gave Hiram twenty cities in the land of Galilee. 3 Ki. 9:11
And he said: Are these the cities which thou hast given me, brother? And he called them the land of Chabul, unto this day. 3 Ki. 9:13
And all the towns that belonged to himself, and were not walled, he fortified; the cities also of the chariots, and the cities of the horsemen, and whatsoever he had a mind to build in Jerusalem, and in Libanus, and in all the land of his dominion. 3 Ki. 9:19
And the daughter of Pharao came up out of the city of David to her house, which Solomon had built for her: then did he build Mello. 3 Ki. 9:24
Solomon also offered three times every year holocausts, and victims of peace offerings, upon the altar which he had built to the Lord, and he burnt incense before the Lord: and the temple was finished. 3 Ki. 9:25
And Solomon informed her of all the things she proposed to him: there was not any word the king was ignorant of, and which he could not answer her. 3 Ki. 10:3
And when the queen of Saba saw all the wisdom of Solomon, and the house which he had built, 3 Ki. 10:4
And the meat of his table, and the apartments of his servants, and the order of his ministers, and their apparel, and the cupbearers, and the holocausts, which he offered in the house of the Lord, she had no longer any spirit in her; 3 Ki. 10:5
And king Solomon gave the queen of Saba all that she desired, and asked of him: besides what he offered her of himself of his royal bounty. And she returned, and went to her own country, with her servants. 3 Ki. 10:13
And Solomon made two hundred shields of the purest gold: he allowed six hundred sicles of gold for the plates of one shield. 3 Ki. 10:16
And Solomon gathered together chariots and horsemen, and he had a thousand four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen: and he bestowed them in fenced cities, and with the king in Jerusalem. 3 Ki. 10:26
And he made silver to be as plentiful in Jerusalem as stones: and cedars to be as common as sycamores which grow in the plains. 3 Ki. 10:27
And he had seven hundred wives as queens, and three hundred concubines: and the women turned away his heart. 3 Ki. 11:3
And when he was now old, his heart was turned away by women to follow strange gods: and his heart was not perfect with the Lord his God, as was the heart of David, his father. 3 Ki. 11:4
And he did in this manner for all his wives that were strangers, who burnt incense, and offered sacrifice to their gods. 3 Ki. 11:8
And had commanded him concerning this thing, that he should not follow strange gods: but he kept not the things which the Lord commanded him. 3 Ki. 11:10
(For Joab remained there six months with all Israel, till he had slain every male in Edom,) 3 Ki. 11:16
Then Adad fled, he and certain Edomites of his father's servants, with him, to go into Egypt: and Adad was then a little boy. 3 Ki. 11:17
And Adad found great favour before Pharao, insomuch that he gave him to wife the own sister of his wife, Taphnes, the queen. 3 Ki. 11:19
And when Adad heard in Egypt that David slept with his fathers, and that Joab, the general of the army, was dead, he said to Pharao: Let me depart, that I may go to my own country. 3 Ki. 11:21
And Pharao said to him: Why, what is wanting to thee with me, that thou seekest to go to thy own country? But he answered: Nothing; yet I beseech thee to let me go. 3 Ki. 11:22
And he gathered men against him, and he became a captain of robbers, when David slew them of Soba: and they went to Damascus, and dwelt there, and they made him king in Damascus. 3 Ki. 11:24
And he was an adversary to Israel all the days of Solomon: and this is the evil of Adad, and his hatred against Israel; and he reigned in Syria. 3 Ki. 11:25
And Ahias taking his new garment, wherewith he was clad, divided it into twelve parts: 3 Ki. 11:30
And he said to Jeroboam: Take to thee ten pieces: for thus saith the Lord, the God of Israel: Behold, I will rend the kingdom out of the hand of Solomon, and will give thee ten tribes. 3 Ki. 11:31
Because he hath forsaken me, and hath adored Astarthe, the goddess of the Sidonians, and Chamos, the god of Moab, and Moloch, the god of the children of Ammon: and hath not walked in my ways, to do justice before me, and to keep my precepts, and judgments, as did David, his father. 3 Ki. 11:33
Solomon, therefore, sought to kill Jeroboam: but he arose, and fled into Egypt, to Sesac, the king of Egypt, and was in Egypt till the death of Solomon. 3 Ki. 11:40
And the rest of the words of Solomon, and all that he did and his wisdom: behold they are all written in the book of the words of the days of Solomon. 3 Ki. 11:41
Thy father laid a grievous yoke upon us: now, therefore, do thou take off a little of the grievous service of thy father, and of his most heavy yoke, which he put upon us, and we will serve thee. 3 Ki. 12:4
And he said to them: Go till the third day, and come to me again. And when the people was gone, 3 Ki. 12:5
King Roboam took counsel with the old men, that stood before Solomon, his father, while he yet lived, and he said: What counsel do you give me, that I may answer this people? 3 Ki. 12:6
But he left the counsel of the old men, which they had given him, and consulted with the young men that had been brought up with him, and stood before him. 3 Ki. 12:8
And he said to them: What counsel do you give me, that I may answer this people, who have said to me: Make the yoke, which thy father put upon us, lighter? 3 Ki. 12:9
And he spoke to them according to the counsel of the young men, saying: My father made your yoke heavy, but I will add to your yoke: My father beat you with whips, but I will beat you with scorpions. 3 Ki. 12:14
And the king condescended not to the people: for the Lord was turned away from him, to make good his word, which he had spoken in the hand of Ahias, the Silonite, to Jeroboam, the son of Nabat. 3 Ki. 12:15
Then king Roboam sent Aduram, who was over the tribute: and all Israel stoned him, and he died. Wherefore king Roboam made haste to get him up into his chariot, and he fled to Jerusalem: 3 Ki. 12:18
And Jeroboam built Sichem in mount Ephraim, and dwelt there, and going out from thence, he built Phanuel. 3 Ki. 12:25
And finding out a device, he made two golden calves, and said to them: Go ye up no more to Jerusalem: Behold thy gods, O Israel, who brought thee out of the land of Egypt. 3 Ki. 12:28
And he set the one in Bethel, and the other in Dan: 3 Ki. 12:29
And he made temples in the high places, and priests of the lowest of the people, who were not of the sons of Levi. 3 Ki. 12:31
And he appointed a feast in the eighth month, on the fifteenth day of the month, after the manner of the feast that was celebrated in Juda. And going up to the altar, he did in like manner in Bethel, to sacrifice to the calves, which he had made: and he placed in Bethel priests of the high places, which he had made. 3 Ki. 12:32
And he went up to the altar, which he had built in Bethel, on the fifteenth day of the eighth month, which he had devised of his own heart: and he ordained a feast to the children of Israel, and went up on the altar to burn incense. 3 Ki. 12:33
And he cried out against the altar in the word of the Lord, and said: O altar, altar, thus saith the Lord: Behold a child shall be born to the house of David, Josias by name, and he shall immolate upon thee the priests of the high places, who now burn incense upon thee, and he shall burn men's bones upon thee. 3 Ki. 13:2
And he gave a sign the same day, saying: This shall be the sign, that the Lord hath spoken: Behold the altar shall be rent, and the ashes that are upon it, shall be poured out. 3 Ki. 13:3
And when the king had heard the word of the man of God, which he had cried out against the altar in Bethel, he stretched forth his hand from the altar, saying: Lay hold on him. And his hand which he stretched forth against him, withered: and he was not able to draw it back again to him. 3 Ki. 13:4
So he departed by another way, and returned not by the way that he came into Bethel. 3 Ki. 13:10
Now a certain old prophet dwelt in Bethel, and his sons came to him, and told him all the works that the man of God had done that day in Bethel: and they told their father the words which he had spoken to the king. 3 Ki. 13:11
And their father said to them: What way went he? His sons shewed him the way by which the man of God went, who came out of Juda. 3 Ki. 13:12
And he said to his sons: Saddle me the ass. And when they had saddled it, he got up, 3 Ki. 13:13
And went after the man of God, and found him sitting under a turpentine tree: and he said to him: Art thou the man of God that camest from Juda? He answered: I am. 3 Ki. 13:14
And he said to him: Come home with me to eat bread. 3 Ki. 13:15
But he said: I must not return, nor go with thee, neither will I eat bread, nor drink water in this place: 3 Ki. 13:16
He said to him: I also am a prophet like unto thee: and an angel spoke to me, in the word of the Lord, saying: Bring him back with thee into thy house, that he may eat bread, and drink water. He deceived him, 3 Ki. 13:18
And brought him back with him: so he ate bread, and drank water in his house. 3 Ki. 13:19
And he cried out to the man of God who came out of Juda, saying: Thus saith the Lord: Because thou hast not been obedient to the Lord, and hast not kept the commandment which the Lord thy God commanded thee, 3 Ki. 13:21
And hast returned, and eaten bread, and drunk water in the place wherein he commanded thee that thou shouldst not eat bread, nor drink water, thy dead body shall not be brought into the sepulchre of thy fathers. 3 Ki. 13:22
And when he had eaten and drunk, he saddled his ass for the prophet, whom he had brought back. 3 Ki. 13:23
And when he was gone, a lion found him in the way, and killed him, and his body was cast in the way: and the ass stood by him, and the lion stood by the dead body. 3 Ki. 13:24
And when that prophet, who had brought him back out of the way, heard of it, he said: It is the man of God, that was disobedient to the mouth of the Lord, and the Lord hath delivered him to the lion, and he hath torn him, and killed him, according to the word of the Lord, which he spoke to him. 3 Ki. 13:26
And he said to his sons: Saddle me an ass. And when they had saddled it, 3 Ki. 13:27
And he was gone, he found the dead body cast in the way, and the ass and the lion standing by the carcass: the lion had not eaten of the dead body, nor hurt the ass. 3 Ki. 13:28
And he laid his dead body in his own sepulchre: and they mourned over him, saying: Alas! alas, my brother. 3 Ki. 13:30
And when they had mourned over him, he said to his sons: When I am dead, bury me in the sepulchre wherein the man of God is buried: lay my bones beside his bones. 3 Ki. 13:31
For assuredly the word shall come to pass which he hath foretold in the word of the Lord, against the altar that is in Bethel: and against all the temples of the high places, that are in the cities of Samaria. 3 Ki. 13:32
After these words, Jeroboam came not back from his wicked way: but on the contrary, he made of the meanest of the people priests of the high places: whosoever would, he filled his hand, and he was made a priest of the high places. 3 Ki. 13:33
Take also with thee ten loaves, and cracknels, and a pot of honey, and go to him: for he will tell thee what shall become of this child. 3 Ki. 14:3
Jeroboam's wife did as he told her: and rising up, went to Silo, and came to the house of Ahias; but he could not see, for his eyes were dim by reason of his age. 3 Ki. 14:4
And all Israel shall mourn for him, and shall bury him: for he only of Jeroboam shall be laid in a sepulchre, because in his regard there is found a good word from the Lord, the God of Israel, in the house of Jeroboam. 3 Ki. 14:13
And the Lord God shall strike Israel as a reed is shaken in the water: and he shall root up Israel out of this good land, which he gave to their fathers, and shall scatter them beyond the river: because they have made to themselves groves, to provoke the Lord. 3 Ki. 14:15
And they buried him. And all Israel mourned for him, according to the word of the Lord, which he spoke by the hand of his servant Ahias, the prophet. 3 Ki. 14:18
And the rest of the acts of Jeroboam, how he fought, and how he reigned, behold they are written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel. 3 Ki. 14:19
And the days that Jeroboam reigned, were two and twenty years: and he slept with his fathers: and Nadab, his son, reigned in his stead. 3 Ki. 14:20
And Roboam, the son of Solomon, reigned in Juda: Roboam was one and forty years old when he began to reign: and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which the Lord chose out of all the tribes of Israel to put his name there. And his mother's name was Naama, an Ammonitess. 3 Ki. 14:21
And he took away the treasures of the house of the Lord, and the king's treasures, and carried all off: as also the shields of gold which Solomon had made: 3 Ki. 14:26
Now the rest of the acts of Roboam, and all that he did, behold they are written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Juda. 3 Ki. 14:29
He reigned three years in Jerusalem: the name of his mother was Maacha, the daughter of Abessalom. 3 Ki. 15:2
And he walked in all the sins of his father, which he had done before him: and his heart was not perfect with the Lord his God, as was the heart of David, his father. 3 Ki. 15:3
Because David had done that which was right in the eyes of the Lord, and had not turned aside from any thing that he commanded him, all the days of his life, except the matter of Urias, the Hethite. 3 Ki. 15:5
And the rest of the words of Abiam, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Juda? And there was war between Abiam and Jeroboam. 3 Ki. 15:7
And he reigned one and forty years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Maacha, the daughter of Abessalom. 3 Ki. 15:10
And he took away the effeminate out of the land, and removed all the filth of the idols, which his fathers had made. 3 Ki. 15:12
Moreover, he also removed his mother, Maacha, from being the princess in the sacrifices of Priapus, and in the grove which she had consecrated to him: and he destroyed her den, and broke in pieces the filthy idol, and burnt it by the torrent Cedron: 3 Ki. 15:13
But the high places he did not take away. Nevertheless, the heart of Asa was perfect with the Lord all his days: 3 Ki. 15:14
And he brought in the things which his father had dedicated, and he had vowed, into the house of the Lord, silver and gold, and vessels. 3 Ki. 15:15
There is a league between me and thee, and between my father and thy father: therefore I have sent thee presents of silver and gold: and I desire thee to come, and break thy league with Baasa, king of Israel, that he may depart from me. 3 Ki. 15:19
And when Baasa had heard this, he left off building Rama, and returned into Thersa. 3 Ki. 15:21
But the rest of all the acts of Asa, and all his strength, and all that he did, and the cities that he built, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Juda? But in the time of his old age he was diseased in his feet. 3 Ki. 15:23
And he slept with his fathers, and was buried with them in the city of David, his father. And Josaphat, his son, reigned in his place. 3 Ki. 15:24
But Nadab, the son of Jeroboam, reigned over Israel the second year of Asa, king of Juda: and he reigned over Israel two years. 3 Ki. 15:25
And he did evil in the sight of the Lord, and walked in the ways of his father, and in his sins, wherewith he made Israel to sin. 3 Ki. 15:26
And when he was king, he cut off all the house of Jeroboam: he left not so much as one soul of his seed, till he had utterly destroyed him, according to the word of the Lord, which he had spoken in the hand of Ahias, the Silonite: 3 Ki. 15:29
Because of the sin of Jeroboam, which he had sinned, and wherewith he had made Israel to sin, and for the offence wherewith he provoked the Lord, the God of Israel. 3 Ki. 15:30
But the rest of the acts of Nadab, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel? 3 Ki. 15:31
And he did evil before the Lord, and walked in the ways of Jeroboam, and in his sins, wherewith he made Israel to sin. 3 Ki. 15:34
But the rest of the acts of Baasa, and all that he did, and his battles, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel? 3 Ki. 16:5
And when the word of the Lord came in the hand of Jehu, the son of Hanani, the prophet, against Baasa, and against his house, and against all the evil that he had done before the Lord, to provoke him to anger by the works of his hands, to become as the house of Jeroboam: for this cause he slew him; that is to say, Jehu, the son of Hanani, the prophet. 3 Ki. 16:7
And Zambri rushing in, struck him, and slew him, in the seven and twentieth year of Asa, king of Juda and he reigned in his stead. 3 Ki. 16:10
And when he was king, and sat upon his throne, he slew all the house of Baasa, and he left not one thereof to piss against a wall and all his kinsfolks and friends. 3 Ki. 16:11
And Zambri destroyed all the house of Baasa, according to the word of the Lord, that he had spoken to Baasa, in the hand of Jehu, the prophet, 3 Ki. 16:12
But the rest of the acts of Ela, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel? 3 Ki. 16:14
And Zambri, seeing that the city was about to be taken, went into the palace, and burnt himself with the king's house: and he died 3 Ki. 16:18
In his sins, which he had sinned, doing evil before the Lord, and walking in the way of Jeroboam, and in his sin, wherewith he made Israel to sin. 3 Ki. 16:19
In the one and thirtieth year of Asa, king of Juda, Amri reigned over Israel twelve years: in Thersa he reigned six years. 3 Ki. 16:23
And he bought the hill of Samaria of Semer, for two talents of silver: and he built upon it, and he called the city which he built Samaria, after the name of Semer, the owner of the hill. 3 Ki. 16:24
And he walked in all the way of Jeroboam, the son of Nabat, and in his sins, wherewith he made Israel to sin: to provoke the Lord, the God of Israel, to anger with their vanities. 3 Ki. 16:26
Now the rest of the acts of Amri, and the battles he fought, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel? 3 Ki. 16:27
Nor was it enough for him to walk in the sins of Jeroboam, the son of Nabat: but he also took to wife Jezabel, daughter of Ethbaal, king of the Sidonians. And he went, and served Baal, and adored him. 3 Ki. 16:31
And he set up an altar for Baal, in the temple of Baal, which he had built in Samaria; 3 Ki. 16:32
And he planted a grove: and Achab did more to provoke the Lord, the God of Israel, than all the kings of Israel that were before him. 3 Ki. 16:33
In his days Hiel, of Bethel, built Jericho: in Abiram, his firstborn, he laid its foundations: and in his youngest son, Segub, he set up the gates thereof: according to the word of the Lord, which he spoke in the hand of Josue, the son of Nun. 3 Ki. 16:34
So he went, and did according to the word of the Lord: and going, he dwelt by the torrent Carith, which is over against the Jordan. 3 Ki. 17:5
And the ravens brought him bread and flesh in the morning, and bread and flesh in the evening; and he drank of the torrent. 3 Ki. 17:6
He arose, and went to Sarephta. And when he was come to the gate of the city, he saw the widow woman gathering sticks, and he called her, and said to her: Give me a little water in a vessel, that I may drink. 3 Ki. 17:10
And when she was going to fetch it, he called after her, saying: Bring me also, I beseech thee, a morsel of bread in thy hand. 3 Ki. 17:11
She went, and did according to the word of Elias: and he ate, and she, and her house: and from that day 3 Ki. 17:15
The pot of meal wasted not, and the cruise of oil was not diminished according to the word of the Lord, which he spoke in the hand of Elias. 3 Ki. 17:16
And Elias said to her: Give me thy son. And he took him out of her bosom, and carried him into the upper chamber where he abode, and laid him upon his own bed. 3 Ki. 17:19
And he cried to the Lord, and said: O Lord, my God, hast thou afflicted also the widow, with whom I am after a sort maintained, so as to kill her son? 3 Ki. 17:20
And he stretched, and measured himself upon the child three times, and cried to the Lord, and said: O Lord, my God, let the soul of this child, I beseech thee, return into his body. 3 Ki. 17:21
And the Lord heard the voice of Elias: and the soul of the child returned into him, and he revived. 3 Ki. 17:22
For when Jezabel killed the prophets of the Lord, he took a hundred prophets, and hid them by fifty and fifty in caves, and fed them with bread and water. 3 Ki. 18:4
And as Abdias was in the way, Elias met him: and he knew him, and fell on his face, and said: Art thou my lord Elias? 3 Ki. 18:7
And he answered: I am. Go, and tell thy master: Elias is here. 3 Ki. 18:8
And he said: What have I sinned, that thou wouldst deliver me, thy servant, into the hand of Achab, that he should kill me? 3 Ki. 18:9
As the Lord thy God liveth, there is no nation or kingdom, whither my lord hath not sent to seek thee: and when all answered: He is not here: he took an oath of every kingdom and nation, because thou wast not found. 3 Ki. 18:10
And when I am gone from thee, the Spirit of the Lord will carry thee into a place that I know not: and I shall go in and tell Achab; and he, not finding thee, will kill me: but thy servant feareth the Lord from his infancy. 3 Ki. 18:12
And now thou sayest: Go and tell thy master: Elias is here: that he may kill me. 3 Ki. 18:14
And when he had seen him, he said: Art thou he that troublest Israel? 3 Ki. 18:17
And he said: I have not troubled Israel, but thou and thy father's house, who have forsaken the commandments of the Lord, and have followed Baalim. 3 Ki. 18:18
And they took the bullock, which he gave them, and dressed it: and they called on the name of Baal from morning even until noon, saying: O Baal, hear us. But there was no voice, nor any that answered: and they leaped over the altar that they had made. 3 Ki. 18:26
And when it was now noon, Elias jested at them, saying: Cry with a louder voice: for he is a god; and perhaps he is talking, or is in an inn, or on a journey; or perhaps he is asleep, and must be awaked. 3 Ki. 18:27
Elias said to all the people: Come ye unto me. And the people coming near unto him, he repaired the altar of the Lord, that was broken down: 3 Ki. 18:30
And he took twelve stones, according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Jacob to whom the word of the Lord came, saying: Israel shall be thy name. 3 Ki. 18:31
And he built with the stones an altar to the name of the Lord: and he made a trench for water, of the breadth of two furrows, round about the altar. 3 Ki. 18:32
And he laid the wood in order, and cut the bullock in pieces, and laid it upon the wood. 3 Ki. 18:33
And he said: Fill four buckets with water, and pour it upon the burnt offering, and upon the wood. And again he said: Do the same the second time. And when they had done it the second time, he said: Do the same also the third time. And they did so the third time. 3 Ki. 18:34
And when all the people saw this, they fell on their faces, and they said: The Lord, he is God; the Lord, he is God. 3 Ki. 18:39
And he said to his servant: Go up, and look towards the sea. And he went up, and looked, and said: There is nothing. And again he said to him: Return seven times. 3 Ki. 18:43
And at the seventh time: Behold a little cloud arose out of the sea like a man's foot. And he said: Go up, and say to Achab: Prepare thy chariot, and go down, lest the rain prevent thee. 3 Ki. 18:44
And while he turned himself this way and that way, behold the heavens grew dark, with clouds and wind, and there fell a great rain. And Achab getting up, went away to Jezrahel: 3 Ki. 18:45
And the hand of the Lord was upon Elias, and he girded up his loins, and ran before Achab, till he came to Jezrahel. 3 Ki. 18:46
¤ And Achab told Jezabel all that Elias had done, and how he had slain all the prophets with the sword. 3 Ki. 19:1
Then Elias was afraid, and rising up, he went whithersoever he had a mind: and he came to Bersabee of Juda, and left his servant there, 3 Ki. 19:3
And he went forward, one day's journey into the desert. And when he was there, and sat under a juniper tree, he requested for his soul that he might die, and said: It is enough for me, Lord; take away my soul: for I am no better than my fathers. 3 Ki. 19:4
And he cast himself down, and slept in the shadow of the juniper tree: and behold an angel of the Lord touched him, and said to him: Arise and eat. 3 Ki. 19:5
He looked, and behold there was at his head a hearth cake, and a vessel of water: and he ate and drank, and he fell asleep again. 3 Ki. 19:6
And he arose, and ate and drank, and walked in the strength of that food forty days and forty nights, unto the mount of God, Horeb. 3 Ki. 19:8
And when he was come thither, he abode in a cave, and behold the word of the Lord came unto him, and he said to him: What dost thou here, Elias? 3 Ki. 19:9
And he answered: With zeal have I been zealous for the Lord God of hosts: for the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant: they have thrown down thy altars, they have slain thy prophets with the sword, and I alone am left, and they seek my life to take it away. 3 Ki. 19:10
And he said to him: Go forth, and stand upon the mount before the Lord: and behold the Lord passeth, and a great and strong wind before the Lord, overthrowing the mountains, and breaking the rocks in pieces: but the Lord is not in the wind. And after the wind, an earthquake: but the Lord is not in the earthquake. 3 Ki. 19:11
And when Elias heard it, he covered his face with his mantle, and coming forth, stood in the entering in of the cave, and behold a voice unto him, saying: What dost thou here, Elias? And he answered: 3 Ki. 19:13
And Elias departing from thence, found Eliseus, the son of Saphat, ploughing with twelve yoke of oxen: and he was one of them that were ploughing with, twelve yoke of oxen: and when Elias came up to him, he cast his mantle upon him. 3 Ki. 19:19
And he forthwith left the oxen, and ran after Elias, and said: Let me, I pray thee, kiss my father and my mother, and then I will follow thee. And he said to him: Go, and return back: for that which was my part, I have done to thee. 3 Ki. 19:20
And returning back from him, he took a yoke of oxen, and killed them, and boiled the flesh with the plough of the oxen, and gave to the people, and they ate: and rising up, he went away, and followed Elias, and ministered to him. 3 Ki. 19:21
¤ And Benadad, king of Syria, gathered together all his host, and there were two and thirty kings with him, and horses, and chariots: and going up, he fought against Samaria, and besieged it. 3 Ki. 20:1
He said: Thus saith Benadad: Thy silver and thy gold is mine: and thy wives and thy goodliest children are mine. 3 Ki. 20:3
And the king of Israel called all the ancients of the land, and said: Mark, and see that he layeth snares for us. For he sent to me for my wives, and for my children, and for my silver and gold: and I said not nay. 3 Ki. 20:7
Wherefore he answered the messengers of Benadad: Tell my lord, the king: All that thou didst send for to me, thy servant at first, I will do: but this thing I cannot do. 3 Ki. 20:9
And the messengers returning brought him word. And he sent again, and said: Such and such things may the gods do to me, and more may they add, if the dust of Samaria shall suffice for handfuls for all the people that follow me. 3 Ki. 20:10
And it came to pass, when Benadad heard this word, that he and the kings were drinking in pavilions, and he said to his servants: Beset the city. And they beset it. 3 Ki. 20:12
And Achab said: By whom? And he said to him: Thus saith the Lord: By the servants of the princes of the provinces. And he said: Who shall begin to fight? And he said: Thou. 3 Ki. 20:14
So he mustered the servants of the princes of the provinces, and he found the number of two hundred and thirty-two: and he mustered after them the people, all the children of Israel, seven thousand: 3 Ki. 20:15
And he said: Whether they come for peace, take them alive: or whether they come to fight, take them alive. 3 Ki. 20:18
And make up the number of soldiers that have been slain of thine, and horses, according to the former horses, and chariots, according to the chariots which thou hadst before: and we will fight against them in the plains, and thou shalt see that we shall overcome them. He believed their counsel, and did so. 3 Ki. 20:25
And his servants said to him: Behold, we have heard that the kings of the house of Israel are merciful; so let us put sackcloth on our loins, and ropes on our heads, and go out to the king of Israel: perhaps he will save our lives. 3 Ki. 20:31
So they girded sackcloth on their loins, and put ropes on their heads, and came to the king of Israel, and said to him: Thy servant, Benadad, saith: I beseech thee let me have my life. And he said: If he be yet alive, he is my brother. 3 Ki. 20:32
The men took this for a sign: and in haste caught the word out of his mouth, and said: Thy brother Benadad. And he said to them: Go, and bring him to me. Then Benadad came out to him, and he lifted him up into his chariot. 3 Ki. 20:33
And he said to him: The cities which my father took from thy father, I will restore: and do thou make thee streets in Damascus, as my father made in Samaria and having made a league, I will depart from thee. So he made a league with him, and let him go. 3 Ki. 20:34
Then a certain man of the sons of the prophets, said to his companion, in the word of the Lord: Strike me. But he would not strike. 3 Ki. 20:35
Then he said to him: Because thou wouldst not hearken to the word of the Lord, behold thou shalt depart from me, and a lion shall slay thee. And when he was gone a little from him, a lion found him, and slew him. 3 Ki. 20:36
Then he found another man, and said to him: Strike me. And he struck him and wounded him. 3 Ki. 20:37
And as the king passed by, he cried to the king, and said: Thy servant went out to fight hand to hand: and when a certain man was run away, one brought him to me, and said: Keep this man: and if he shall slip away, thy life shall be for his life, or thou shalt pay a talent of silver. 3 Ki. 20:39
And whilst I, in a hurry, turned this way and that, on a sudden he was not to be seen. And the king of Israel said to him: This is thy judgment, which thyself hast decreed. 3 Ki. 20:40
But he forthwith wiped off the dust from his face, and the king of Israel knew him, that he was one of the prophets. 3 Ki. 20:41
And he said to him: Thus saith the Lord. Because thou hast let go out of thy hand a man worthy of death, thy life shall be for his life, and thy people for his people. 3 Ki. 20:42
And Achab came into his house angry and fretting, because of the word that Naboth, the Jezrahelite, had spoken to him, saying: I will not give thee the inheritance of my fathers. And casting himself upon his bed, he turned away his face to the wall, and would eat no bread. 3 Ki. 21:4
And he answered her: I spoke to Naboth, the Jezrahelite, and said to him: Give me thy vineyard, and take money for it: or if it please thee, I will give thee a better vineyard for it. And he said: I will not give thee my vineyard. 3 Ki. 21:6
And suborn two men, sons of Belial, against him, and let them bear false witness; that he hath blasphemed God and the king: and then carry him out, and stone him, and so let him die. 3 Ki. 21:10
And when Achab heard this, to wit, that Naboth was dead, he arose, and went down to the vineyard of Naboth, the Jezrahelite, to take possession of it. 3 Ki. 21:16
Arise, and go down to meet Achab, king of Israel, who is in Samaria: behold he is going down to the vineyard of Naboth, to take possession of it: 3 Ki. 21:18
And Achab said to Elias: Hast thou found me thy enemy? He said: I have found thee because thou art sold, to do evil in the sight of the Lord. 3 Ki. 21:20
If Achab die in the city, the dogs shall eat him: but if he die in the field, the birds of the air shall eat him. 3 Ki. 21:24
And he became abominable, insomuch that he followed the idols which the Amorrhites had made, whom the Lord destroyed before the face of the children of Israel. 3 Ki. 21:26
And when Achab had heard these words, he rent his garments, and put haircloth upon his flesh, and fasted, and slept in sackcloth, and walked with his head cast down. 3 Ki. 21:27
Hast thou not seen Achab humbled before me? therefore, because he hath humbled himself, for my sake, I will not bring the evil in his days, but in his son's days will I bring the evil upon his house. 3 Ki. 21:29
And he said to Josaphat: Wilt thou come with me to battle to Ramoth Galaad? 3 Ki. 22:4
Then the king of Israel assembled the prophets, about four hundred men, and he said to them: Shall I go to Ramoth Galaad to fight, or shall I forbear? They answered: Go up, and the Lord will deliver it into the hand of the king. 3 Ki. 22:6
And the king of Israel said to Josaphat. There is one man left, by whom we may inquire of the Lord; Micheas, the son of Jemla: but I hate him, for he doth not prophesy good to me, but evil. And Josaphat said: Speak not so, O king. 3 Ki. 22:8
So he came to the king, and the king said to him: Micheas, shall we go to Ramoth Galaad to battle, or shall we forbear? He answered him: Go up, and prosper, and the Lord shall deliver it into the king's hands. 3 Ki. 22:15
And he said: I saw all Israel scattered upon the hills, like sheep that have no shepherd; and the Lord said: These have no master: let every man of them return to his house in peace. 3 Ki. 22:17
(Then the king of Israel said to Josaphat: Did I not tell thee, that he prophesieth no good to me, but always evil?) 3 Ki. 22:18
And he added and said: Hear thou, therefore, the word of the Lord: I saw the Lord sitting on his throne, and all the army of heaven standing by him on the right hand and on the left: 3 Ki. 22:19
And the Lord said: Who shall deceive Achab, king of Israel, that he may go up, and fall at Ramoth Galaad? And one spoke words of this manner, and another otherwise. 3 Ki. 22:20
And he said: I will go forth, and be a lying spirit, in the mouth of all his prophets. And the Lord said: Thou shalt deceive him, and shalt prevail: go forth, and do so. 3 Ki. 22:22
And Micheas said: If thou return in peace, the Lord hath not spoken by me. And he said: Hear, all ye people. 3 Ki. 22:28
So when the captains of the chariots saw Josaphat, they suspected that he was the king of Israel, and making a violent assault, they fought against him: and Josaphat cried out. 3 Ki. 22:32
And the captains of the chariots perceived that he was not the king of Israel, and they turned away from him. 3 Ki. 22:33
And a certain man bent his bow, shooting at a venture, and chanced to strike the king of Israel, between the lungs and the stomach. But he said to the driver of his chariot: Turn thy hand, and carry me out of the army, for I am grievously wounded. 3 Ki. 22:34
And the battle was fought that day, and the king of Israel stood in his chariot against the Syrians, and he died in the evening: and the blood ran out of the wound into the midst of the chariot. 3 Ki. 22:35
And they washed his chariot in the pool of Samaria and the dogs licked up his blood, and they washed the reins according to the word of the Lord which he had spoken. 3 Ki. 22:38
But the rest of the acts of Achab, and all that he did, and the house of ivory that he made, and all the cities that he built, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel? 3 Ki. 22:39
He was five and thirty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned five and twenty years in Jerusalem: the name of his mother was Azuba, the daughter of Salai. 3 Ki. 22:42
And he walked in all the way of Asa, his father, and he declined not from it: and he did that which was right in the sight of the Lord. Nevertheless, he took not away the high places for as yet the people offered sacrifice, and burnt incense in the high places. 3 Ki. 22:43
But the rest of the acts of Josaphat, and his works which he did, and his battles, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Juda? 3 Ki. 22:45
And the remnant also of the effeminate, who remained in the days of Asa, his father, he took out of the land. 3 Ki. 22:46
And Ochozias, the son of Achab, began to reign over Israel, in Samaria, in the seventeenth year of Josaphat, king of Juda, and he reigned over Israel two years. 3 Ki. 22:51
And he did evil in the sight of the Lord, and walked in the way of his father and his mother, and in the way of Jeroboam, the son of Nabat, who made Israel to sin. 3 Ki. 22:52
He served also Baal, and worshipped him, and provoked the Lord, the God of Israel, according to all that his father had done. 3 Ki. 22:53
And Ochozias fell through the lattices of his upper chamber, which he had in Samaria, and was sick: and he sent messengers, saying to them: Go, consult Beelzebub, the god of Accaron, whether I shall recover of this my illness. 4 Ki. 1:2
And the messengers turned back to Ochozias. And he said to them: Why are you come back? 4 Ki. 1:5
And he said to them: What manner of man was he who met you, and spoke these words? 4 Ki. 1:7
But they said: A hairy man, with a girdle of leather about his loins. And he said: It is Elias, the Thesbite. 4 Ki. 1:8
And he sent to him a captain of fifty, and the fifty men that were under him. And he went up to him, and as he was sitting on the top of a hill, he said to him: Man of God, the king hath commanded that thou come down. 4 Ki. 1:9
And again he sent to him another captain of fifty men, and his fifty with him. And he said to him: Man of God: Thus saith the king: Make haste and come down. 4 Ki. 1:11
Again he sent a third captain of fifty men, and the fifty that were with him. And when he was come, he fell upon his knees before Elias, and besought him, and said: Man of God, despise not my life, and the lives of thy servants that are with me. 4 Ki. 1:13
And the angel of the Lord spoke to Elias, saying: Go down with him, fear not. He arose therefore, and went down with him to the king, 4 Ki. 1:15
So he died, according to the word of the Lord, which Elias spoke; and Joram, his brother, reigned in his stead, in the second year of Joram, the son of Josaphat, king of Juda, because he had no son. 4 Ki. 1:17
But the rest of the acts of Ochozias, which he did, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel? 4 Ki. 1:18
The sons of the prophets, that were at Bethel, came forth to Eliseus, and said to him: Dost thou know that, this day, the Lord will take away thy master from thee? And he answered: I also know it: hold your peace. 4 Ki. 2:3
And Elias said to Eliseus: Stay here, because the Lord hath sent me to Jericho. And he said: As the Lord liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. And when they were come to Jericho, 4 Ki. 2:4
The sons of the prophets, that were at Jericho, came to Eliseus, and said to him: Dost thou know that, this day, the Lord will take away thy master from thee? And he said: I also know it: hold your peace. 4 Ki. 2:5
And Elias said to him: Stay here, because the Lord hath sent me as far as the Jordan. And he said: as the Lord liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. And they two went on together. 4 Ki. 2:6
And he answered: Thou hast asked a hard thing; nevertheless, if thou see me when I am taken from thee, thou shalt have what thou hast asked: but if thou see me not, thou shalt not have it. 4 Ki. 2:10
And Eliseus saw him, and cried: My father, my father, the chariot of Israel, and the driver thereof. And he saw him no more: and he took hold of his own garments, and rent them in two pieces. 4 Ki. 2:12
And he took up the mantle of Elias, that fell from him: and going back, he stood on the bank of the Jordan; 4 Ki. 2:13
And he struck the waters with the mantle of Elias, that had fallen from him, and they were not divided. And he said: Where is now the God of Elias? And he struck the waters, and they were divided hither and thither, and Eliseus passed over. 4 Ki. 2:14
And they said to him: Behold, there are with thy servants, fifty strong men, that can go, and seek thy master, lest, perhaps, the spirit of the Lord, hath taken him up and cast him upon some mountain, or into some valley. And he said: Do not send. 4 Ki. 2:16
But they pressed him, till he consented, and said: Send. And they sent fifty men: and they sought three days, but found him not. 4 Ki. 2:17
And they came back to him: for he abode at Jericho, and he said to them: Did I not say to you? Do not send. 4 Ki. 2:18
And he said: Bring me a new vessel, and put salt into it. And when they had brought it, 4 Ki. 2:20
He went out to the spring of the waters, and cast the salt into it, and said: Thus saith the Lord: I have healed these waters, and there shall be no more in them death or barrenness. 4 Ki. 2:21
And the waters were healed unto this day, according to the word of Eliseus, which he spoke. 4 Ki. 2:22
And he went up from thence to Bethel: and as he was going up by the way, little boys came out of the city and mocked him, saying: Go up, thou bald head, go up, thou bald head. 4 Ki. 2:23
And looking back, he saw them, and cursed them in the name of the Lord: and there came forth two bears out of the forest, and tore of them, two and forty boys. 4 Ki. 2:24
And from thence he went to mount Carmel, and from thence he returned to Samaria. 4 Ki. 2:25
¤ And Joram the son of Achab, reigned over Israel, in Samaria, in the eighteenth year of Josaphat, king of Juda. And he reigned twelve years. 4 Ki. 3:1
And he did evil before the Lord, but not like his father and his mother: for he took away the statues of Baal, which his father had made. 4 Ki. 3:2
Nevertheless, he stuck to the sins of Jeroboam, the son of Nabat, who made Israel to sin, nor did he depart from them. 4 Ki. 3:3
Now Mesa, king of Moab, nourished many sheep, and he paid to the king of Israel a hundred thousand lambs, and a hundred thousand rams, with their fleeces. 4 Ki. 3:4
And when Achab was dead, he broke the league which he had made with the king of Israel. 4 Ki. 3:5
And he sent to Josaphat; king of Juda, saying: The king of Moab is revolted from me: come with me against him to battle. And he answered: I will come up: he that is mine, is thine: my people are thy people: and my horses, thy horses. 4 Ki. 3:7
And he said: Which way shall we go up? But he answered: By the desert of Edom. 4 Ki. 3:8
But now bring me hither a minstrel. And when the minstrel played, the hand of the Lord came upon him, and he said: 4 Ki. 3:15
And this is a small thing in the sight of the Lord: moreover, he will deliver, also, Moab into your hands. 4 Ki. 3:18
And when the king of Moab saw this, to wit, that the enemies had prevailed, he took with him seven hundred men that drew the sword, to break in upon the king of Edom: but they could not. 4 Ki. 3:26
Then he took his eldest son, that should have reigned in his stead, and offered him for a burnt offering upon the wall: and there was great indignation in Israel, and presently they departed from him, and returned into their own country. 4 Ki. 3:27
And he said to her: Go, borrow of all thy neighbours empty vessels, not a few. 4 Ki. 4:3
And when the vessels were full, she said to her son: Bring me yet a vessel. And he answered: I have no more. And the oil stood. 4 Ki. 4:6
And she came, and told the man of God. And he said: Go, sell the oil, and pay thy creditor: and thou and thy sons live of the rest. 4 Ki. 4:7
And there was a day when Eliseus passed by Sunam: now there was a great woman there, who detained him to eat bread: and as he passed often that way, he turned into her house to eat bread. 4 Ki. 4:8
Let us, therefore, make him a little chamber, and put a little bed in it for him, and a table, and a stool, and a candlestick, that when he cometh to us he may abide there. 4 Ki. 4:10
Now, there was a certain day, when he came, and turned into the chamber, and rested there. 4 Ki. 4:11
And he said to Giezi, his servant: Call this Sunamitess. And when he had called her, and she stood before him, 4 Ki. 4:12
He said to his servant: Say to her: Behold, thou hast diligently served us in all things; what wilt thou have me to do for thee? Hast thou any business, and wilt thou, that I speak to the king, or to the general of the army? And she answered: I dwell in the midst of my own people. 4 Ki. 4:13
And he said: What will she then that I do for her? And Giezi said: Do not ask, for she hath no son, and her husband is old. 4 Ki. 4:14
Then he bid him call her. And when she was called, and stood before the door, 4 Ki. 4:15
He said to her: At this time, and this same hour, if life be in company, thou shalt have a son in thy womb. But she answered: Do not, I beseech thee, my lord, thou man of God, do not lie to thy handmaid. 4 Ki. 4:16
And the child grew. And on a certain day, when he went out to his father to the reapers, 4 Ki. 4:18
He said to his father: My head acheth, my head acheth. But he said to his servant. Take him, and carry him to his mother. 4 Ki. 4:19
And when he had taken him, and brought him to his mother, she sat him on her knees, until noon, and then he died. 4 Ki. 4:20
And he said to her: Why dost thou go to him? to day is neither new moon nor sabbath. She answered: I will go. 4 Ki. 4:23
So she went forward, and came to the man of God, to mount Carmel: and when the man of God saw her coming towards, he said to Giezi, his servant: Behold that Sunamitess. 4 Ki. 4:25
Then he said to Giezi: Gird up thy loins, and take my staff in thy hand, and go. If any man meet thee, salute him not: and if any man salute thee, answer him not: and lay my staff upon the face of the child. 4 Ki. 4:29
But the mother of the child said: As the Lord liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. He arose, therefore, and followed her. 4 Ki. 4:30
But Giezi was gone before them, and laid the staff upon the face of the child, and there was no voice nor sense: and he returned to meet him, and told him, saying: The child is not risen. 4 Ki. 4:31
And going in, he shut the door upon him, and upon the child, and prayed to the Lord. 4 Ki. 4:33
And he went up, and lay upon the child: and put his mouth upon his mouth, and his eyes upon his eyes, and his hands upon his hands: and he bowed himself upon him, and the child's flesh grew warm. 4 Ki. 4:34
Then he returned and walked in the house, once to and fro: and he went up, and lay upon him: and the child gaped seven times, and opened his eyes. 4 Ki. 4:35
And he called Giezi, and said to him: Call this Sunamitess. And she being called, went in to him: and he said: Take up thy son. 4 Ki. 4:36
And Eliseus returned to Galgal, and there was a famine in the land, and the sons of the prophets dwelt before him: And he said to one of his servants: Set on the great pot, and boil pottage for the sons of the prophets. 4 Ki. 4:38
And one went out into the field to gather wild herbs: and he found something like a wild vine, and gathered of it wild gourds of the field, and filled his mantle, and coming back, he shred them into the pot of pottage; for he knew not what it was. 4 Ki. 4:39
But he said: Bring some meal. And when they had brought it, he cast it into the pot, and said: Pour out for the people, that they may eat. And there was now no bitterness in the pot. 4 Ki. 4:41
And a certain man came from Baalsalisa, bringing to the man of God, bread of the firstfruits, twenty loaves of barley, and new corn in his scrip. And he said: Give to the people, that they may eat. 4 Ki. 4:42
And his servant answered him: How much is this, that I should set it before a hundred men? He said again: Give to the people, that they may eat: for thus saith the Lord: They shall eat, and there shall be left. 4 Ki. 4:43
So he set it before them: and they ate, and there was left, according to the word of the Lord. 4 Ki. 4:44
¤ Naaman, general of the army, of the king of Syria, was a great man with his master, and honourable: for by him the Lord gave deliverance to Syria: and he was a valiant man, and rich, but a leper. 4 Ki. 5:1
And she said to her mistress: I wish my master had been with the prophet that is in Samaria: he would certainly have healed him of the leprosy which he hath. 4 Ki. 5:3
And the king of Syria said to him: Go; and I will send a letter to the king of Israel. And he departed, and took with him ten talents of silver, and six thousand pieces of gold, and ten changes of raiment; 4 Ki. 5:5
And when the king of Israel had read the letter, he rent his garments, and said: Am I God, to be able to kill and give life, that this man hath sent to me to heal a man of his leprosy? mark, and see how he seeketh occasions against me. 4 Ki. 5:7
And when Eliseus, the man of God, had heard this, to wit, that the king of Israel had rent his garments, he sent to him, saying: Why hast thou rent thy garments? let him come to me, and let him know that there is a prophet in Israel. 4 Ki. 5:8
Naaman was angry, and went away, saying: I thought he would have come out to me, and standing, would have invoked the name of the Lord his God, and touched with his hand the place of the leprosy, and healed me. 4 Ki. 5:11
Are not the Abana, and the Pharphar, rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel, that I may wash in them, and be made clean? So as he turned, and was going away with indignation, 4 Ki. 5:12
His servants came to him, and said to him: Father, if the prophet had bid thee do some great thing, surely thou shouldst have done it: how much rather what he now hath said to thee: Wash, and thou shalt be clean? 4 Ki. 5:13
Then he went down, and washed in the Jordan seven times, according to the word of the man of God; and his flesh was restored, like the flesh of a little child: and he was made clean. 4 Ki. 5:14
And returning to the man of God, with all his train, he came, and stood before him, and said: In truth, I know there is no other God, in all the earth, but only in Israel: I beseech thee, therefore, take a blessing of thy servant. 4 Ki. 5:15
But he answered: As the Lord liveth, before whom I stand, I will receive none. And when he pressed him, he still refused. 4 Ki. 5:16
But there is only this, for which thou shalt entreat the Lord for thy servant; when my master goeth into the temple of Remmon, to worship there, and he leaneth on my hand: if I bow down in the temple of Remmon, when he boweth down in the same place, that the Lord pardon me, thy servant, for this thing. 4 Ki. 5:18
And he said to him: Go in peace. So he departed from him, in the spring time of the earth. 4 Ki. 5:19
But Giezi, the servant of the man of God, said: My master hath spared Naaman this Syrian, in not receiving of him that which he brought: as the Lord liveth, I will run after him, and take something of him. 4 Ki. 5:20
And Giezi followed after Naaman: and when he saw him running after him, he leapt down from his chariot to meet him, and said: Is all well? 4 Ki. 5:21
And he said: Well: my master hath sent me to thee, saying: Just now there are come to me from mount Ephraim, two young men of the sons of the prophets: give them a talent of silver, and two changes of garments. 4 Ki. 5:22
And Naaman said: It is better that thou take two talents. And he forced him, and bound two talents of silver in two bags, and two changes of garments, and laid them upon two of his servants, and they carried them before him. 4 Ki. 5:23
And when he was come, and now it was the evening, he took them from their hands, and laid them up in the house, and sent the men away, and they departed. 4 Ki. 5:24
But he went in, and stood before his master. And Eliseus said: Whence comest thou, Giezi? He answered: Thy servant went no whither. 4 Ki. 5:25
But he said: Was not my heart present, when the man turned back, from his chariot, to meet thee? So now thou hast received money, and received garments, to buy oliveyards and vineyards, and sheep, and oxen, and men-servants, and maid-servants. 4 Ki. 5:26
But the leprosy of Naaman, shall also stick to thee, and to thy seed for ever. And he went out from him a leper, as white as snow. 4 Ki. 5:27
Let us go as far as the Jordan, and take out of the wood every man a piece of timber, that we may build us there a place to dwell in. And he said: Go. 4 Ki. 6:2
And one of them said: But come thou also with thy servants. He answered: I will come. 4 Ki. 6:3
So he went with them. And when they were come to the Jordan, they cut down wood. 4 Ki. 6:4
And it happened, as one was felling some timber, that the head of the axe fell into the water: and he cried out, and said: Alas, alas, alas, my lord, for this same was borrowed. 4 Ki. 6:5
And the man of God said: Where did it fall? and he shewed him the place: Then he cut off a piece of wood, and cast it in thither: and the iron swam. 4 Ki. 6:6
And he said: Take it up. And he put out his hand, and took it. 4 Ki. 6:7
And the heart of the king of Syria, was troubled for this thing. And calling together his servants, he said: Why do you not tell me who it is that betrays me to the king of Israel? 4 Ki. 6:11
And he said to them: Go, and see where he is: that I may send and take him. And they told him: saying: Behold he is in Dothan. 4 Ki. 6:13
Therefore, he sent thither horses, and chariots, and the strength of an army: and they came by night, and beset the city. 4 Ki. 6:14
And the servant of the man of God, rising early went out, and saw an army round about the city, and horses and chariots: and he told him, saying: Alas, alas, alas, my lord, what shall we do? 4 Ki. 6:15
But he answered: Fear not: for there are more with us than with them. 4 Ki. 6:16
And Eliseus prayed, and said: Lord, open his eyes, that he may see. And the Lord opened the eyes of the servant, and he saw: and behold, the mountain was full of horses, and chariots of fire round about Eliseus. 4 Ki. 6:17
And Eliseus said to them: This is not the way, neither is this the city: follow me, and I will shew you the man whom you seek. So he led them into Samaria. 4 Ki. 6:19
And the king of Israel said to Eliseus, when he saw them: My father, shall I kill them? 4 Ki. 6:21
And he said: Thou shalt not kill them: for thou didst not take them with thy sword, or thy bow, that thou mayst kill them: but set bread and water before them, that they may eat and drink, and go to their master. 4 Ki. 6:22
And a great provision of meats was set before them, and they ate and drank; and he let them go: and they went away to their master: and the robbers of Syria came no more into the land of Israel. 4 Ki. 6:23
And he said: If the Lord doth not save thee, how can I save thee? out of the barnfloor, or out of the winepress? And the king said to her: What aileth thee? And she answered: 4 Ki. 6:27
When the king heard this, he rent his garments, and passed by upon the wall. And all the people saw the haircloth which he wore within next to his flesh. 4 Ki. 6:30
And the king said: May God do so and so to me, and may he add more, if the head of Eliseus, the son of Saphat, shall stand on him this day. 4 Ki. 6:31
But Eliseus sat in his house, and the ancients sat with him. So he sent a man before: and before that messenger came, he said to the ancients: Do you know that this son of a murderer hath sent to cut off my head? Look then when the messenger shall come, shut the door, and suffer him not to come in: for behold the sound of his master's feet is behind him. 4 Ki. 6:32
While he was yet speaking to them, the messenger appeared, who was coming to him. And he said: Behold, so great an evil is from the Lord: what shall I look for more from the Lord? 4 Ki. 6:33
Then one of the lords, upon whose hand the king leaned, answering the man of God, said: If the Lord should make flood-gates in heaven, can that possibly be which thou sayest? And he said: Thou shalt see it with thy eyes, but shalt not eat thereof. 4 Ki. 7:2
And he arose in the night, and said to his servants: I tell you what the Syrians have done to us: They know that we suffer great famine, and therefore they are gone out of the camp, and lie hid in the fields, saying: When they come out of the city, we shall take them alive, and then we may get into the city. 4 Ki. 7:12
And the king appointed that lord on whose hand he leaned, to stand at the gate: and the people trod upon him in the entrance of the gate; and he died, as the man of God had said, when the king came down to him. 4 Ki. 7:17
And it came to pass, according to the word of the man of God, which he spoke to the king, when he said: Two bushels of barley shall be for a stater, and a bushel of fine flour for a stater, at this very time tomorrow, in the gate of Samaria. 4 Ki. 7:18
When that lord answered the man of God, and said: Although the Lord should make flood-gates in heaven, could this come to pass which thou sayest? And he said to him: Thou shalt see it with thy eyes, and shalt not eat thereof. 4 Ki. 7:19
And so it fell out to him, as it was foretold, and the people trod upon him in the gate, and he died. 4 Ki. 7:20
¤ And Eliseus spoke to the woman, whose son he had restored to life, saying: Arise, and go thou, and thy household, and sojourn wheresoever thou canst find: for the Lord hath called a famine, and it shall come upon the land seven years. 4 Ki. 8:1
And when he was telling the king how he had raised one dead to life, the woman appeared, whose son he had restored to life, crying to the king for her house, and her lands. And Giezi said: My lord, O king, this is the woman, and this is her son, whom Eliseus raised to life. 4 Ki. 8:5
And Hazael went to meet him, taking with him presents, and all the good things of Damascus, the burdens of forty camels. And when he stood before him, he said: Thy son, Benadad, the king of Syria, hath sent me to thee, saying: Can I recover of this my illness? 4 Ki. 8:9
And Eliseus said to him: Go tell him: Thou shalt recover: but the Lord hath shewed me that he shall surely die. 4 Ki. 8:10
And he stood with him, and was troubled so far as to blush: and the man of God wept. 4 Ki. 8:11
And Hazael said to him: Why doth my lord weep? And he said: Because I know the evil that thou wilt do to the children of Israel. Their strong cities thou wilt burn with fire, and their young men thou wilt kill with the sword, and thou wilt dash their children, and rip up their pregnant women. 4 Ki. 8:12
And when he was departed from Eliseus he came to his master, who said to him: What said Eliseus to thee? And he answered: He told me: Thou shalt recover. 4 Ki. 8:14
And on the next day, he took a blanket, and poured water on it, and spread it upon his face: and he died, and Hazael reigned in his stead. 4 Ki. 8:15
He was two and thirty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem. 4 Ki. 8:17
And he walked in the ways of the kings of Israel, as the house of Achab had walked: for the daughter of Achab was his wife: and he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord. 4 Ki. 8:18
But the Lord would not destroy Juda, for David his servant's sake, as he had promised him, to give him a light, and to his children always. 4 Ki. 8:19
And Joram came to Seira, and all the chariots with him: and he arose in the night, and defeated the Edomites that had surrounded him, and the captains of the chariots, but the people fled into their tents. 4 Ki. 8:21
But the rest of the acts of Joram, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Juda? 4 Ki. 8:23
Ochozias was two and twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned one year in Jerusalem: the name of his mother was Athalia the daughter of Amri king of Israel. 4 Ki. 8:26
And he walked in the ways of the house of Achab: and he did evil before the Lord, as did the house of Achab: for he was the son in law of the house of Achab. 4 Ki. 8:27
He went also with Joram, son of Achab, to fight against Hazael, king of Syria, in Ramoth Galaad, and the Syrians wounded Joram: 4 Ki. 8:28
And he went back to be healed, in Jezrahel: because the Syrians had wounded him in Ramoth, when he fought against Hazael, king of Syria And Ochozias, the son of Joram, king of Juda, went down to visit Joram, the son of Achab, in Jezrahel, because he was sick there. 4 Ki. 8:29
And went in thither: and behold, the captains of the army were sitting, and he said: I have a word to thee, O prince. And Jehu said: Unto whom of us all? And he said: To thee, O prince. 4 Ki. 9:5
And he arose, and went into the chamber: and he poured the oil upon his head, and said: Thus saith the Lord God of Israel: I have anointed thee king over Israel, the people of the Lord. 4 Ki. 9:6
And the dogs shall eat Jezabel, in the field of Jezrahel, and there shall be no one to bury her. And he opened the door and fled. 4 Ki. 9:10
Then Jehu went forth to the servants of his Lord: and they said to him: Are all things well? why came this madman to thee? And he said to them: You know the man, and what he said. 4 Ki. 9:11
But they answered: It is false; but rather do thou tell us. And he said to them: Thus and thus did he speak to me: and he said: Thus saith the Lord: I have anointed thee king over Israel. 4 Ki. 9:12
So Jehu, the son of Josaphat, the son of Namsi, conspired against Joram. Now Joram had besieged Ramoth Galaad, he, and all Israel, fighting with Hazael, king of Syria: 4 Ki. 9:14
And was returned to be healed in Jezrahel of his wounds; for the Syrians had wounded him, when he fought with Hazael, king of Syria. And Jehu said: If it please you, let no man go forth or flee out of the city, lest he go, and tell in Jezrahel. 4 Ki. 9:15
And he got up, and went into Jezrahel for Joram was sick there, and Ochozias king of Juda, was come down to visit Joram. 4 Ki. 9:16
So there went one in a chariot to meet him, and said: Thus saith the king: Are all things peaceable? And Jehu said: What hast thou to do with peace? go behind and follow me. And the watchman told, saying: The messenger came to them, but he returneth not. 4 Ki. 9:18
And he sent a second chariot of horses: and he came to them, and said: Thus saith the king: Is there peace? And Jehu said: What hast thou to do with peace? pass, and follow me. 4 Ki. 9:19
And the watchman told, saying: He came even to them, but returneth not: and the driving is like the driving of Jehu, the son of Namsi; for he drives furiously. 4 Ki. 9:20
And when Joram saw Jehu, he said: Is there peace, Jehu? And he answered: What peace? so long as the fornications of Jezabel, thy mother, and her many sorceries, are in their vigour. 4 Ki. 9:22
But Jehu bent his bow with his hand, and shot Joram between the shoulders: and the arrow went out through his heart, and immediately he fell in his chariot. 4 Ki. 9:24
But Ochozias, king of Juda, seeing this, fled by the way of the garden house: and Jehu pursued him, and said: Strike him also in his chariot. And they struck him in the going up to Gaver, which is by Jeblaam: and he fled into Mageddo, and died there. 4 Ki. 9:27
And he said to them: Throw her down headlong; And they threw her down, and the wall was sprinkled with her blood, and the hoofs of the horses trod upon her. 4 Ki. 9:33
And when he was come in to eat, and to drink, he said: Go, and see after that cursed woman, and bury her; because she is a king's daughter. 4 Ki. 9:34
And coming back they told him. And Jehu said: It is the word of the Lord, which he spoke by his servant Elias, the Thesbite, saying: In the field of Jezrahel the dogs shall eat the flesh of Jezabel. 4 Ki. 9:36
And he wrote letters the second time to them, saying: If you be mine, and will obey me, take the heads of the sons of your master, and come to me to Jezrahel by tomorrow at this time. Now the king's sons, being seventy men, were brought up with the chief men of the city. 4 Ki. 10:6
And a messenger came, and told him, saying: They have brought the heads of the king's sons. And he said: Lay ye them in two heaps by the entering in of the gate until the morning. 4 Ki. 10:8
And when it was light, he went out, and standing, said to all the people: You are just: if I conspired against my master, and slew him; who hath slain all these? 4 Ki. 10:9
See therefore now that there hath not fallen to the ground any of the words of the Lord, which the Lord spoke concerning the house of Achab, and the Lord hath done that which he spoke in the hand of his servant Elias. 4 Ki. 10:10
And he arose, and went to Samaria: and when he was come to the shepherds' cabin in the way, 4 Ki. 10:12
He met with the brethren of Ochozias, king of Juda, and he said to them: Who are you? And they answered: We are the brethren of Ochozias, and are come down to salute the sons of the king, and the sons of the queen. 4 Ki. 10:13
And he said: Take them alive. And they took them alive, and killed them at the pit by the cabin, two and forty men, and he left not any of them. 4 Ki. 10:14
And when he was departed thence, he found Jonadab, the son of Rechab, coming to meet him, and he blessed him. And he said to him: Is thy heart right as my heart is with thy heart? And Jonadab said: It is. If it be, said he, give me thy hand. He gave him his hand. And he lifted him up to him into the chariot, 4 Ki. 10:15
And he said to him: Come with me, and see my zeal for the Lord. So he made him ride in his chariot, 4 Ki. 10:16
And brought him into Samaria. And he slew all that were left of Achab, in Samaria, to a man, according to the word of the Lord which he spoke by Elias. 4 Ki. 10:17
Now therefore call to me all the prophets of Baal, and all his servants, and all his priests: let none be wanting, for I have a great sacrifice to offer to Baal: whosoever shall be wanting, shall not live. Now Jehu did this craftily, that he might destroy the worshippers of Baal. 4 Ki. 10:19
And he said: Proclaim a festival for Baal. And he called, 4 Ki. 10:20
And he sent into all the borders of Israel; and all the servants of Baal came: there was not one left that did not come. And they went into the temple of Baal: and the house of Baal was filled, from one end to the other. 4 Ki. 10:21
And he said to them that were over the wardrobe: Bring forth garments for all the servants of Baal. And they brought them forth garments. 4 Ki. 10:22
And they went in to offer sacrifices and burnt offerings: but Jehu had prepared him fourscore men without, and said to them: If any of the men escape, whom I have brought into your hands, he that letteth him go, shall answer life for life. 4 Ki. 10:24
But yet he departed not from the sins of Jeroboam, the son of Nabat, who made Israel to sin, nor did he forsake the golden calves that were in Bethel, and Dan. 4 Ki. 10:29
But Jehu took no heed to walk in the law of the Lord, the God of Israel, with all his heart: for he departed not from the sins of Jeroboam, who had made Israel to sin. 4 Ki. 10:31
But the rest of the acts of Jehu, and all that he did, and his strength, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel? 4 Ki. 10:34
But Josaba the daughter of king Joram, sister of Ochozias, took Joas, the son of Ochozias, and stole him from among the king's sons that were slain, out of the bedchamber with his nurse: and hid him from the face of Athalia; so that he was not slain. 4 Ki. 11:2
And he was with her six years, hid in the house of the Lord. And Athalia reigned over the land. 4 Ki. 11:3
And he commanded them, saying: This is the thing that you must do. 4 Ki. 11:5
And he gave them the spears, and the arms of king David, which were in the house of the Lord. 4 Ki. 11:10

And he took the centurions, and the bands of the Cerethi, and the Phelethi, and all the people of the land, and they brought the king from the house of the Lord: and they came by the way of the gate of the shieldbearers into the palace, and he sat on the throne of the kings. 4 Ki. 11:19
Now Joas was seven years old when he began to reign. 4 Ki. 11:21
¤ In the seventh year of Jehu, Joas began to reign: and he reigned forty years in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Sebia, of Bersabee. 4 Ki. 12:1
But yet he took not away the high places: for the people still sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places. 4 Ki. 12:3
Wherefore Joas, king of Juda, took all the sanctified things, which Josaphat, and Joram, and Ochozias, his fathers, the kings of Juda, had dedicated to holy uses, and which he himself had offered: and all the silver that could be found in the treasures of the temple of the Lord, and in the king's palace: and sent it to Hazael, king of Syria, and he went off from Jerusalem. 4 Ki. 12:18
And the rest of the acts of Joas, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Juda? 4 Ki. 12:19
For Josachar the son of Semaath, and Jozabad the son of Somer his servant, struck him, and he died: and they buried him with his fathers in the city of David; and Amasias, his son, reigned in his stead. 4 Ki. 12:21

And he did that which is evil in the sight of the Lord: he departed not from all the sins of Jeroboam, the son of Nabat, who made Israel to sin; but he walked in them. 4 Ki. 13:11
But the rest of the acts of Joas, and all that he did, and his valour wherewith he fought against Amasias, king of Juda, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel? 4 Ki. 13:12

And Eliseus said to him: Bring a bow and arrows. And when he had brought him a bow and arrows, 4 Ki. 13:15
He said to the king of Israel: Put thy hand upon the bow. And when he had put his hand, Eliseus put his hands over the king's hands, 4 Ki. 13:16
And said: Open the window to the east. And when he had opened it, Eliseus said: Shoot an arrow. And he shot. And Eliseus said: The arrow of the Lord's deliverance, and the arrow of the deliverance from Syria: and thou shalt strike the Syrians in Aphec, till thou consume them. 4 Ki. 13:17
And he said: Take the arrows. And when he had taken them, he said to him: Strike with an arrow upon the ground. And he struck three times, and stood still. 4 Ki. 13:18
And the Lord had mercy on them, and returned to them, because of his covenant, which he had made with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob: and he would not destroy them, nor utterly cast them away, unto this present time. 4 Ki. 13:23
Now Joas the son of Joachaz, took the cities out of the hand of Benadad, the son of Hazael, which he had taken out of the hand of Joachaz, his father, by war; three times did Joas beat him, and he restored the cities to Israel. 4 Ki. 13:25
He was five and twenty years old when he began to reign; and nine and twenty years he reigned in Jerusalem; the name of his mother was Joadan, of Jerusalem. 4 Ki. 14:2
And he did that which was right before the Lord, but yet not like David his father. He did according to all things that Joas his father, did: 4 Ki. 14:3
But this only, that he took not away the high places; for yet the people sacrificed, and burnt incense in the high places: 4 Ki. 14:4
And when he had possession of the kingdom, he put his servants to death that had slain the king, his father. 4 Ki. 14:5
But the children of the murderers he did not put to death, according to that which is written in the book of the law of Moses, wherein the Lord commanded, saying: The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, neither shall the children be put to death for the fathers: but every man shall die for his own sin. 4 Ki. 14:6
He slew of Edom in the valley of the Saltpits, ten thousand men, and took the rock by war, and called the name thereof Jectehel, unto this day. 4 Ki. 14:7

And he did that which was pleasing before the Lord, according to all that his father, Amasias, had done. 4 Ki. 15:3
But the high places he did not destroy, for the people sacrificed, and burnt incense in the high places. 4 Ki. 15:4

And the rest of the acts of Azarias, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Juda? 4 Ki. 15:6

But the rest of the acts of Joatham, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Juda? 4 Ki. 15:36
Achaz was twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem: he did not that which was pleasing in the sight of the Lord, his God, as David, his father. 4 Ki. 16:2
But he walked in the way of the kings of Israel: moreover, he consecrated also his son, making him pass through the fire, according to the idols of the nations which the Lord destroyed before the children of Israel. 4 Ki. 16:3
He sacrificed also, and burnt incense in the high places, and on the hills, and under every green tree. 4 Ki. 16:4
And when he had gathered together the silver and gold that could be found in the house of the Lord, and in the king's treasures, he sent it for a present to the king of the Assyrians. 4 Ki. 16:8
And he agreed to his desire: for the king of the Assyrians went up against Damascus, and laid it waste: and he carried away the inhabitants thereof to Cyrene; but Rasin he slew. 4 Ki. 16:9
And king Achaz went to Damascus to meet Theglathphalasar, king of the Assyrians, and when he had seen the altar of Damascus, king Achaz sent to Urias, the priest, a pattern of it, and its likeness, according to all the work thereof. 4 Ki. 16:10
And when the king was come from Damascus, he saw the altar and worshipped it: and went up and offered holocausts, and his own sacrifice; 4 Ki. 16:12
And he offered libations, and poured the blood of the peace offerings, which he had offered, upon the altar. 4 Ki. 16:13

And he did evil before the Lord: but not as the kings of Israel that had been before him. 4 Ki. 17:2
And when the king of the Assyrians found that Osee, endeavouring to rebel, had sent messengers to Sua, the king of Egypt, that he might not pay tribute to the king of the Assyrians, as he had done every year, he besieged him, bound him, and cast him into prison. 4 Ki. 17:4
And he went through all the land: and going up to Samaria, he besieged it three years. 4 Ki. 17:5
And in the ninth year of Osee, the king of the Assyrians took Samaria, and carried Israel away to Assyria: and he placed them in Hala, and Habor, by the river of Gozan, in the cities of the Medes. 4 Ki. 17:6
And they rejected his ordinances, and the covenant that he made with their fathers, and the testimonies which he testified against them: and they followed vanities, and acted vainly: and they followed the nations that were round about them, concerning which the Lord had commanded them that they should not do as they did. 4 Ki. 17:15
And the Lord cast off all the seed of Israel, and afflicted them, and delivered them into the hand of spoilers, till he cast them away from his face: 4 Ki. 17:20
And the children of Israel walked in all the sins of Jeroboam, which he had done: and they departed not from them, 4 Ki. 17:22
Till the Lord removed Israel from his face, as he had spoken in the hand of all his servants, the prophets: and Israel was carried away out of their land to Assyria, unto this day. 4 Ki. 17:23
Unto this day they follow the old manner: they fear not the Lord, neither do they keep his ceremonies, and judgments, and law, and the commandment, which the Lord commanded the children of Jacob, whom he surnamed Israel: 4 Ki. 17:34
With whom he made a covenant, and charged them, saying: You shall not fear strange gods, nor shall you adore them, nor worship them, nor sacrifice to them. 4 Ki. 17:35
And the ceremonies, and judgments, and law, and the commandment, which he wrote for you, you shall observe to do them always: and you shall not fear strange gods. 4 Ki. 17:37

He trusted in the Lord, the God of Israel: so that after him there was none like him among all the kings of Juda, nor any of them that were before him: 4 Ki. 18:5
And he stuck to the Lord, and departed not from his steps, but kept his commandments, which the Lord commanded Moses. 4 Ki. 18:6
Wherefore the Lord also was with him, and in all things, to which he went forth, he behaved himself wisely. And he rebelled against the king of the Assyrians, and served him not. 4 Ki. 18:7
He smote the Philistines as far as Gaza, and all their borders, from the tower of the watchmen to the fenced city. 4 Ki. 18:8
At that time Ezechias broke the doors of the temple of the Lord, and the plates of gold which he had fastened on them, and gave them to the king of the Assyrians. 4 Ki. 18:16
But if you say to me: We trust in the Lord, our God: is it not he, whose high places and altars Ezechias hath taken away: and hath commanded Juda and Jerusalem: You shall worship before this altar in Jerusalem? 4 Ki. 18:22
Thus saith the king: Let not Ezechias deceive you: for he shall not be able to deliver you out of my hand. 4 Ki. 18:29
¤ And when king Ezechias heard these words, he rent his garments, and covered himself with sackcloth, and went into the house of the Lord. 4 Ki. 19:1
And he sent Eliacim, who was over the house, and Sobna, the scribe, and the ancients of the priests, covered with sackcloths, to Isaias, the prophet, the son of Amos. 4 Ki. 19:2

And when Ezechias had received the letter of the hand of the messengers, and had read it, he went up to the house of the Lord, and spread it before the Lord, 4 Ki. 19:14
And he prayed in his sight, saying: O Lord God of Israel, who sittest upon the cherubims, thou alone art the God of all the kings of the earth: thou madest heaven and earth: 4 Ki. 19:15
Wherefore thus saith the Lord concerning the king of the Assyrians: He shall not come into this city, nor shoot an arrow into it, nor come before it with shield, nor cast a trench about it. 4 Ki. 19:32

And he turned his face to the wall, and prayed to the Lord, saying: 4 Ki. 20:2
And Isaias said: Bring me a lump of figs. And when they had brought it, and laid it upon his boil, he was healed. 4 Ki. 20:7
And Isaias said to him: This shall be the sign from the Lord, that the Lord will do the word which he hath spoken: Wilt thou that the shadow go forward ten lines, or that it go back so many degrees? 4 Ki. 20:9
And Isaias, the prophet, called upon the Lord, and he brought the shadow ten degrees backwards by the lines, by which it had already gone down in the dial of Achaz. 4 Ki. 20:11
At that time Berodach Baladan, the son of Baladan, king of the Babylonians, sent letters and presents to Ezechias: for he had heard that Ezechias had been sick. 4 Ki. 20:12
And Ezechias rejoiced at their coming, and he shewed them the house of his aromatical spices, and the gold, and the silver, and divers precious odours, and ointments, and the house of his vessels, and all that he had in his treasures. There was nothing in his house, nor in all his dominions, that Ezechias shewed them not. 4 Ki. 20:13
And he said: What did they see in thy house? Ezechias said: They saw all the things that are in my house: There is nothing among my treasures that I have not shewed them. 4 Ki. 20:15
And the rest of the acts of Ezechias, and all his might, and how he made a pool, and a conduit, and brought waters into the city, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Juda? 4 Ki. 20:20

And he did evil in the sight of the Lord, according to the idols of the nations, which the Lord destroyed from before the face of the children of Israel. 4 Ki. 21:2
And he turned, and built up the high places, which Ezechias, his father, had destroyed: and he set up altars to Baal, and made groves, as Achab, the king of Israel, had done: and he adored all the host of heaven, and served them. 4 Ki. 21:3
And he built altars in the house of the Lord, of which the Lord said: In Jerusalem I will put my name. 4 Ki. 21:4
And he built altars for all the host of heaven, in the two courts of the temple of the Lord. 4 Ki. 21:5
And he made his son pass through fire: and he used divinations, and observed omens, and appointed pythons, and multiplied soothsayers, to do evil before the Lord, and to provoke him. 4 Ki. 21:6
He set also an idol of the grove, which he had made, in the temple of the Lord: concerning which the Lord said to David, and to Solomon his son: In this temple, and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, I will put my name for ever. 4 Ki. 21:7
Moreover, Manasses shed also very much innocent blood, till he filled Jerusalem up to the mouth: besides his sins, wherewith he made Juda to sin, to do evil before the Lord. 4 Ki. 21:16

And David took the crown of Melchom from his head, and found in it a talent weight of gold, and most precious stones, and he made himself a diadem of it: he took also the spoils of the city which were very great. 1 Par. 20:2
And the people that were therein he brought out: and made harrows, and sleds, and chariots of iron to go over them, so that they were cut and bruised to pieces: in this manner David dealt with all the cities of the children of Ammon: and he returned with all his people to Jerusalem. 1 Par. 20:3
He reviled Israel: but Jonathan the son of Samaa the brother of David slew him. 1 Par. 20:7
And he gave David the number of them, whom he had surveyed: and all the number of Israel was found to be eleven hundred thousand men that drew the sword: and of Juda four hundred and seventy thousand fighting men. 1 Par. 21:5
But Levi and Benjamin he did not number: for Joab unwillingly executed the king's orders. 1 Par. 21:6
And God was displeased with this thing that was commanded: and he struck Israel. 1 Par. 21:7
And when Gad was come to David, he said to him: Thus saith the Lord: choose which thou wilt: 1 Par. 21:11
And he sent an angel to Jerusalem, to strike it: and as he was striking it, the Lord beheld, and took pity for the greatness of the evil: and said to the angel that destroyed: It is enough, now stop thy hand. And the angel of the Lord stood by the thrashingfloor of Ornan the Jebusite. 1 Par. 21:15
And David lifting up his eyes, saw the angel of the Lord standing between heaven and earth, with a drawn sword in his hand, turned against Jerusalem: and both he and the ancients clothed in haircloth, fell down flat on the ground. 1 Par. 21:16
And David said to God: Am not I he that commanded the people to be numbered? It is I that have sinned: it is I that have done the evil: but as for this flock, what hath it deserved? O Lord my God, let thy hand be turned, I beseech thee, upon me, and upon my father's house: and let not thy people be destroyed. 1 Par. 21:17
And David went up, according to the word of Gad, which he spoke to him in the name of the Lord. 1 Par. 21:19
Now when Ornan looked up, and saw the angel, he and his four sons hid themselves: for at that time he was thrashing wheat in the floor. 1 Par. 21:20
And he built there an altar to the Lord: and he offered holocausts, and peace offerings, and he called upon the Lord, and he heard him by sending fire from heaven upon the altar of the holocaust. 1 Par. 21:26
And the Lord commanded the angel: and he put up his sword again into the sheath. 1 Par. 21:27
And David could not go to the altar there to pray to God: for he was seized with an exceeding great fear, seeing the sword of the angel of the Lord. 1 Par. 21:30
And he commanded to gather together all the proselytes of the land of Israel, and out of them he appointed stonecutters to hew stones and polish them, to build the house of God. 1 Par. 22:2
And David said: Solomon my son is very young and tender, and the house which I would have to be built to the Lord, must be such as to be renowned in all countries: therefore I will prepare him necessaries. And therefore before his death he prepared all the charges. 1 Par. 22:5
And he called for Solomon his son: and commanded him to build a house to the Lord the God of Israel. 1 Par. 22:6
The son, that shall be born to thee, shall be a most quiet man: for I will make him rest from all his enemies round about: and therefore he shall be called Peaceable: and I will give peace and quietness to Israel all his days. 1 Par. 22:9
He shall build a house to my name, and he shall be a son to me, and I will be a father to him: and I will establish the throne of his kingdom over Israel for ever. 1 Par. 22:10
Now then, my son, the Lord be with thee, and do thou prosper, and build the house to the Lord thy God, as he hath spoken of thee. 1 Par. 22:11
And he gathered together all the princes of Israel, and the priests and Levites. 1 Par. 23:2
Moreover four thousand were porters: and as many singers singing to the Lord with the instruments, which he had made to sing with. 1 Par. 23:5
The sons of Amram, Aaron, and Moses. And Aaron was separated to minister in the holy of holies, he and his sons for ever, and to burn incense before the Lord, according to his ceremonies, and to bless his name for ever. 1 Par. 23:13
And there were found many more of the sons of Eleazar among the principal men, than of the sons of Ithamar. And he divided them so, that there were of the sons of Eleazar, sixteen chief men by their families: and of the sons of Ithamar eight by their families and houses. 1 Par. 24:4
And he divided both the families one with the other by lot: for there were princes of the sanctuary, and princes of God, both of the sons of Eleazar, and of the sons of Ithamar. 1 Par. 24:5
And of Hosa, that is, of the sons of Merari: Semri the chief, (for he had not a firstborn, and therefore his father made him chief.) 1 Par. 26:10
But David would not number them from twenty years old and under: because the lord had said that he would multiply Israel like the stars of heaven. 1 Par. 27:23
Joab the son of Sarvia began to number, but he finished not: because upon this there fell wrath upon Israel: and therefore the number of them that were numbered, was not registered in the chronicles of king David. 1 Par. 27:24
And Jonathan David's uncle, a counsellor, a wise and learned man: he and Jahiel the son of Hachamoni were with the king's sons. 1 Par. 27:32
But the Lord God of Israel chose me of all the house of my father, to be king over Israel for ever: for of Juda he chose the princes: and of the house of Juda, my father's house: and among the sons of my father, it pleased him to choose me king over all Israel. 1 Par. 28:4
And among my sons (for the Lord hath given me many sons) he hath chosen Solomon my son, to sit upon the throne of the kingdom of the Lord over Israel. 1 Par. 28:5
And he said to me: Solomon thy son shall build my house, and my courts: for I have chosen him to be my son, and I will be a father to him. 1 Par. 28:6
And I will establish his kingdom for ever, if he continue to keep my commandments, and my judgments, as at this day. 1 Par. 28:7
And thou my son Solomon, know the God of thy father, and serve him with a perfect heart, and a willing mind: for the Lord searcheth all hearts, and understandeth all the thoughts of minds. If thou seek him, thou shalt find him: but if thou forsake him, he will cast thee off for ever. 1 Par. 28:9
As also of all the courts, which he had in his thought, and of the chambers round about, for the treasures of the house of the Lord, and for the treasures of the consecrated things, 1 Par. 28:12
He gave also gold for the golden candlesticks, and their lamps, according to the dimensions of every candlestick, and the lamps thereof. In like manner also he gave silver by weight for the silver candlesticks, and for their lamps according to the diversity of the dimensions of them. 1 Par. 28:15
He gave also gold for the tables of proposition, according to the diversity of the tables: in like manner also silver for other tables of silver. 1 Par. 28:16
For fleshhooks also, and bowls, and censors of fine gold, and for little lions of gold, according to the measure he gave by weight, for every lion. In like manner also for lions of silver he set aside a different weight of silver. 1 Par. 28:17
And for the altar of incense, he gave the purest gold: and to make the likeness of the chariot of the cherubims spreading their wings, and covering the ark of the covenant of the Lord. 1 Par. 28:18
All these things, said he, came to me written by the hand of the Lord that I might understand all the works of the pattern. 1 Par. 28:19
And gold for wheresoever there is need of gold: and silver for wheresoever there is need of silver, for the works to be made by the hands of the artificers: now if any man is willing to offer, let him fill his hand to day, and offer what he pleaseth to the Lord. 1 Par. 29:5
And he blessed the Lord before all the multitude, and he said: Blessed art thou, O Lord the God of Israel, our father from eternity to eternity. 1 Par. 29:10
And give to Solomon my son a perfect heart, that he may keep thy commandments, thy testimonies, and thy ceremonies, and do all things: and build the house, for which I have provided the charges. 1 Par. 29:19
And Solomon sat on the throne of the Lord as king instead of David his father, and he pleased all: and all Israel obeyed him. 1 Par. 29:23
And the days that he reigned over Israel, were forty years: in Hebron he reigned seven years, and in Jerusalem three and thirty years. 1 Par. 29:27
And he died in a good age, full of days, and riches, and glory. And Solomon his son reigned in his stead. 1 Par. 29:28
And he went with all the multitude to the high place of Gabaon, where was the tabernacle of the covenant of the Lord, which Moses the servant of God made, in the wilderness. 2 Par. 1:3
For David had brought the ark of God from Cariathiarim to the place, which he had prepared for it, and where he had pitched a tabernacle for it, that is, in Jerusalem. 2 Par. 1:4
And he gathered to himself chariots and horsemen, and he had a thousand four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen: and he placed them in the cities of the chariots, and with the king in Jerusalem. 2 Par. 1:14
And he numbered out seventy thousand men to bear burdens, and eighty thousand to hew stones in the mountains, and three thousand six hundred to oversee them. 2 Par. 2:2
He sent also to Hiram king of Tyre, saying: As thou didst with David my father, and didst send him cedars, to build him a house, in which he dwelt: 2 Par. 2:3
And Hiram king of Tyre sent a letter to Solomon, saying: Because the Lord hath loved his people, therefore he hath made thee king over them. 2 Par. 2:11
And he added, saying: Blessed be the Lord the God of Israel, who made heaven and earth, who hath given to king David a wise and knowing son, endued with understanding and prudence, to build a house to the Lord, and a palace for himself. 2 Par. 2:12
And he set seventy thousand of them to carry burdens on their shoulders, and eighty thousand to hew stones in the mountains: and three thousand and six hundred to be overseers of the work of the people. 2 Par. 2:18
And he began to build in the second month, in the fourth year of his reign. 2 Par. 3:2
And the porch in the front, which was extended in length according to the measure of the breadth of the house, twenty cubits: and the height was a hundred and twenty cubits: and he overlaid it within with pure gold. 2 Par. 3:4
And the greater house he ceiled with deal boards, and overlaid them with plates of fine gold throughout: and he graved in them palm trees, and like little chains interlaced with one another. 2 Par. 3:5
He paved also the floor of the temple with most precious marble, of great beauty. 2 Par. 3:6
And the gold of the plates with which he overlaid the house, and the beams thereof, and the posts, and the walls, and the doors was of the finest: and he graved cherubims on the walls. 2 Par. 3:7
He made also the house of the holy of holies: the length of it according to the breadth of the temple, twenty cubits, and the breadth of it in like manner twenty cubits: and he overlaid it with plates of gold, amounting to about six hundred talents. 2 Par. 3:8
He made also nails of gold, and the weight of every nail was fifty sicles: the upper chambers also he overlaid with gold. 2 Par. 3:9
He made also in the house of the holy of holies two cherubims of image work: and he overlaid them with gold. 2 Par. 3:10
He made also a veil of violet, purple, scarlet, and silk: and wrought in it cherubims. 2 Par. 3:14
He made also before the doors of the temple two pillars, which were five and thirty cubits high: and their chapiters were five cubits. 2 Par. 3:15
He made also as it were little chains in the oracle, and he put them on the heads of the pillars: and a hundred pomegranates, which he put between the little chains. 2 Par. 3:16
These pillars he put at the entrance of the temple, one on the right hand, and the other on the left: that which was on the right hand, he called Jachin: and that on the left hand, Booz. 2 Par. 3:17
¤ He made also an altar of brass twenty cubits long, and twenty cubits broad, and ten cubits high. 2 Par. 4:1
He made also ten lavers: and he set five on the right hand, and five on the left, to wash in them all such things as they were to offer for holocausts: but the sea was for the priests to wash in. 2 Par. 4:6
And he made ten golden candlesticks, according to the form which they were commanded to be made by: and he set them in the temple, five on the right hand, and five on the left. 2 Par. 4:7
Moreover also ten tables: and he set them in the temple, five on the right side, and five on the left. Also a hundred bowls of gold. 2 Par. 4:8
He made also the court of the priests, and a great hall, and doors in the hall, which he covered with brass. 2 Par. 4:9
And he set the sea on the right side over against the east toward the south. 2 Par. 4:10
He made also bases, and lavers, which he set upon the bases: 2 Par. 4:14
The vessels also for the perfumes, and the censers, and the bowls, and the mortars, of pure gold. And he graved the doors of the inner temple, that is, for the holy of holies: and the doors of the temple without were of gold. And thus all the work was finished which Solomon made in the house of the Lord. 2 Par. 4:22
¤ Then Solomon brought in all the things that David his father had vowed, the silver, and the gold, and all the vessels he put among the treasures of the house of God. 2 Par. 5:1
And after this he gathered together the ancients of Israel and all the princes of the tribes, and the heads of the families, of the children of Israel to Jerusalem, to bring the ark of the covenant of the Lord out of the city of David, which is Sion. 2 Par. 5:2
Now the ends of the staves wherewith the ark was carried, because they were some thing longer, were seen before the oracle: but if a man were a little outward, he could not see them. So the ark has been there unto this day. 2 Par. 5:9
So when they all sounded together, both with trumpets, and voice, and cymbals, and organs, and with divers kind of musical instruments, and lifted up their voice on high: the sound was heard afar off, so that when they began to praise the Lord, and to say: Give glory to the Lord for he is good, for his mercy endureth for ever: the house of God was filled with a cloud. 2 Par. 5:13
¤ Then Solomon said: The Lord promised that he would dwell in a cloud. 2 Par. 6:1
But I have built a house to his name, that he might dwell there for ever. 2 Par. 6:2
And the king turned his face, and blessed all the multitude of Israel for all the multitude stood attentive and he said: 2 Par. 6:3
Blessed be the Lord the God of Israel, who hath accomplished in deed that which he spoke to David my father, saying: 2 Par. 6:4
But thou shalt not build the house, but thy son, who shall come out of thy loins, he shall build a house to my name. 2 Par. 6:9
The Lord therefore hath accomplished his word which he spoke: and I am risen up in the place of David my father, and sit upon the throne of Israel, as the Lord promised: and have built a house to the name of the Lord God of Israel. 2 Par. 6:10
And I have put in it the ark, wherein is the covenant of the Lord, which he made with the children of Israel. 2 Par. 6:11
And he stood before the altar of the Lord, in presence of all the multitude of Israel, and stretched forth his hands. 2 Par. 6:12
For Solomon had made a brazen scaffold, and had set it in the midst of the temple, which was five cubits long, and five cubits broad, and three cubits high: and he stood upon it: then kneeling down in the presence of all the multitude of Israel, and lifting up his hands towards heaven, 2 Par. 6:13
He said: O Lord God of Israel, there is no God like thee in heaven nor in earth: who keepest covenant and mercy with thy servants, that walk before thee with all their hearts: 2 Par. 6:14
Moreover all the children of Israel saw the fire coming down, and the glory of the Lord upon the house: and falling down with their faces to the ground, upon the stone pavement, they adored and praised the Lord: because he is good, because his mercy endureth for ever. 2 Par. 7:3
Solomon also sanctified the middle of the court before the temple of the Lord: for he offered there the holocausts, and the fat of the peace offerings: because the brazen altar, which he had made, could not hold the holocausts and the sacrifices and the fat: 2 Par. 7:7
And he made on the eighth day a solemn assembly, because he had kept the dedication of the altar seven days, and had celebrated the solemnity seven days. 2 Par. 7:9
So on the three and twentieth day of the seventh month he sent away the people to their dwellings, joyful and glad for the good that the Lord had done to David, and to Solomon, and to all Israel his people. 2 Par. 7:10
And Solomon finished the house of the Lord, and the king's house, and all that he had designed in his heart to do, in the house of the Lord, and in his own house, and he prospered. 2 Par. 7:11
He built the cities which Hiram had given to Solomon, and caused the children of Israel to dwell there. 2 Par. 8:2
He went also into Emath Suba, and possessed it. 2 Par. 8:3
And he built Palmira in the desert, and he built other strong cities in Emath. 2 Par. 8:4
And he built Beth-horon the upper, and Beth-horon the nether, walled cities with gates and bars and locks. 2 Par. 8:5
Balaath also and all the strong cities that were Solomon's, and all the cities of the chariots, and the cities of the horsemen. All that Solomon had a mind, and designed, he built in Jerusalem and in Libanus, and in all the land of his dominion. 2 Par. 8:6
But of the children of Israel he set none to serve in the king's works: for they were men of war, and chief captains, and rulers of his chariots and horsemen. 2 Par. 8:9
And he removed the daughter of Pharao from the city of David, to the house which he had built for her. For the king said: My wife shall not dwell in the house of David king of Israel, for it is sanctified: because the ark of the Lord came into it. 2 Par. 8:11
Then Solomon offered holocausts to the Lord upon the altar of the Lord which he had built before the porch, 2 Par. 8:12
And he appointed according to the order of David his father the offices of the priests in their ministries: and the Levites in their order to give praise, and minister before the priests according to the duty of every day: and the porters in their divisions by gate and gate: for so David the man of God had commanded. 2 Par. 8:14
And the priests and Levites departed not from the king's commandments, as to any thing that he had commanded, and as to the keeping of the treasures. 2 Par. 8:15
Solomon had all charges prepared, from the day that he founded the house of the Lord, until the day wherein he finished it. 2 Par. 8:16
And Solomon explained to her all that she proposed: and there was not any thing that he did not make clear unto her. 2 Par. 9:2
And when she had seen these things, to wit, the wisdom of Solomon, and the house which he had built, 2 Par. 9:3
And the meats of his table, and the dwelling places of his servants, and the attendance of his officers, and their apparel, his cupbearers also, and their garments, and the victims which he offered in the house of the Lord: there was no more spirit in her, she was so astonished. 2 Par. 9:4
Blessed be the Lord thy God, who hath been pleased to set thee on his throne, king of the Lord thy God. Because God loveth Israel, and will preserve them forever: therefore hath he made thee king over them, to do judgment and justice. 2 Par. 9:8
And Solomon had forty thousand horses in the stables, and twelve thousand chariots, and horsemen, and he placed them in the cities of the chariots and where the king was in Jerusalem. 2 Par. 9:25
And he exercised authority over all the kings from the river Euphrates to the land of the Philistines, and to the borders of Egypt. 2 Par. 9:26
And he made silver as plentiful in Jerusalem as stones: and cedars as common as the sycamores, which grow in the plains. 2 Par. 9:27
And he slept with his fathers: and they buried him in the city of David: and Roboam his son reigned in his stead. 2 Par. 9:31
And when Jeroboam the son of Nabat, who was in Egypt, (for he was fled thither from Solomon,) heard it, forthwith he returned. 2 Par. 10:2
And they sent for him, and he came with all Israel, and they spoke to Roboam, saying: 2 Par. 10:3
And he said to them: Come to me again after three days. And when the people were gone, 2 Par. 10:5
He took counsel with the ancients, who had stood before his father Solomon, while he yet lived, saying: What counsel give you to me, that I may answer the people? 2 Par. 10:6
But he forsook the counsel of the ancients, and began to treat with the young men, that had been brought up with him, and were in his train. 2 Par. 10:8
And he said to them: What seemeth good to you? or what shall I answer this people, who have said to me: Ease the yoke which thy father laid upon us? 2 Par. 10:9
So Jeroboam, and all the people came to Roboam the third day, as he commanded them. 2 Par. 10:12
And he spoke according to the advice of the young men: My father laid upon you a heavy yoke, which I will make heavier: my father beat you with scourges, but I will beat you with scorpions. 2 Par. 10:14
And he condescended not to the people's requests: for it was the will of God, that his word might be fulfilled which he had spoken by the hand of Ahias the Silonite to Jeroboam the son of Nabat. 2 Par. 10:15
And king Roboam sent Aduram, who was over the tributes, and the children of Israel stoned him, and he died: and king Roboam made haste to get up into his chariot, and fled into Jerusalem. 2 Par. 10:18
And he built Bethlehem, and Etam, and Thecue, 2 Par. 11:6
And when he had enclosed them with walls, he put in them governors and storehouses of provisions, that is, of oil and of wine. 2 Par. 11:11
Moreover in every city he made an armoury of shields and spears, and he fortified them with great diligence, and he reigned over Juda, and Benjamin, 2 Par. 11:12
And he made to himself priests for the high places, and for the devils, and for the calves which he had made. 2 Par. 11:15
And after her he married Maacha the daughter of Absalom, who bore him Abia, and Ethai, and Ziza, and Salomith. 2 Par. 11:20
And Roboam loved Maacha the daughter of Absalom above all his wives and concubines: for he had married eighteen wives, and threescore concubines: and he begot eight and twenty sons, and threescore daughters. 2 Par. 11:21
But he put at the head of them Abia the son of Maacha to be the chief ruler over all his brethren: for he meant to make him king, 2 Par. 11:22
Because he was wiser and mightier than all his sons, and in all the countries of Juda, and of Benjamin, and in all the walled cities: and he gave them provisions in abundance, and he sought many wives. 2 Par. 11:23
¤ And when the kingdom of Roboam was strengthened and fortified, he forsook the law of the Lord, and all Israel with him. 2 Par. 12:1
And he took the strongest cities in Juda, and came to Jerusalem. 2 Par. 12:4
And Semeias the prophet came to Roboam, and to the princes of Juda, that were gathered together in Jerusalem, fleeing from Sesac, and he said to them: Thus saith the Lord: You have left me, and I have left you in the hand of Sesac. 2 Par. 12:5
So Sesac king of Egypt departed from Jerusalem, taking away the treasures of the house of the Lord, and of the king's house, and he took all with him, and the golden shields that Solomon had made, 2 Par. 12:9
King Roboam therefore was strengthened in Jerusalem, and reigned: he was one and forty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which the Lord chose out of all the tribes of Israel, to establish his name there: and the name of his mother was Naama an Ammonitess. 2 Par. 12:13
But he did evil, and did not prepare his heart to seek the Lord. 2 Par. 12:14
Three years he reigned in Jerusalem, and his mother's name was Michaia, the daughter of Uriel of Gabaa: and there was war between Abia and Jeroboam. 2 Par. 13:2
And now you say that you are able to withstand the kingdom of the Lord, which he possesseth by the sons of David, and you have a great multitude of people, and golden calves, which Jeroboam hath made you for gods. 2 Par. 13:8
While he spoke these things, Jeroboam caused an ambushment to come about behind him. And while he stood facing the enemies, he encompassed Juda, who perceived it not, with his army. 2 Par. 13:13
And Jeroboam was not able to resist any more, in the days of Abia: and the Lord struck him, and he died. 2 Par. 13:20
And Asa did that which was good and pleasing in the sight of his God, and he destroyed the altars of foreign worship, and the high places. 2 Par. 14:2
And he commanded Juda to seek the Lord the God of their fathers, and to do the law, and all the commandments. 2 Par. 14:4
And he took away out of all the cities of Juda the altars, and temples, and reigned in peace. 2 Par. 14:5
He built also strong cities in Juda, for he was quiet, and there had no wars risen in his time, the Lord giving peace. 2 Par. 14:6
And he said to Juda: Let us build these cities, and compass them with walls, and fortify them with towers, and gates, and bars, while all is quiet from wars, because we have sought the Lord the God of our fathers, and he hath given us peace round about. So they built, and there was no hinderance in building. 2 Par. 14:7
And Zara the Ethiopian came out against them with his army of ten hundred thousand men, and with three hundred chariots: and he came as far as Maresa. 2 Par. 14:9
And he called upon the Lord God, and said: Lord, there is no difference with thee, whether thou help with few, or with many: help us, O Lord our God: for with confidence in thee, and in thy name we are come against this multitude. O Lord thou art our God, let not man prevail against thee. 2 Par. 14:11
And he went out to meet Asa, and said to him: Hear ye me, Asa, and all Juda and Benjamin: The Lord is with you, because you have been with him. If you seek him, you shall find: but if you forsake him, he will forsake you. 2 Par. 15:2
And when Asa had heard the words, and the prophecy of Azarias the son of Oded the prophet, he took courage, and took away the idols out of all the land of Juda, and out of Benjamin, and out of the cities of mount Ephraim, which he had taken, and he dedicated the altar of the Lord, which was before the porch of the Lord. 2 Par. 15:8
And he gathered together all Juda and Benjamin, and the strangers with them of Ephraim, and Manasses, and Simeon: for many were come over to him out of Israel, seeing that the Lord his God was with him. 2 Par. 15:9
And he went in to confirm as usual the covenant, that they should seek the Lord the God of their fathers with all their heart, and with all their soul. 2 Par. 15:12
And if any one, said he, seek not the Lord the God of Israel, let him die, whether little or great, man or woman. 2 Par. 15:13
Moreover Maacha the mother of king Asa he deposed from the royal authority, because she had made in a grove an idol of Priapus: and he entirely destroyed it, and breaking it into pieces, burnt it at the torrent Cedron. 2 Par. 15:16
And the things which his father had vowed, and he himself had vowed, he brought into the house of the Lord, gold and silver, and vessels of divers uses. 2 Par. 15:18
And when Benadad heard this, he sent the captains of his armies against the cities of Israel: and they took Ahion, and Dan, and Abelmaim, and all the walled cities of Nephtali. 2 Par. 16:4
And when Baasa heard of it, he left off the building of Rama, and interrupted his work. 2 Par. 16:5
Then king Asa took all Juda, and they carried away from Rama the stones, and the timber that Baasa had prepared for the building: and he built with them Gabaa, and Maspha. 2 Par. 16:6
Were not the Ethiopians, and the Libyans much more numerous in chariots, and horsemen, and an exceeding great multitude: yet because thou trustedst in the Lord, he delivered them into thy hand? 2 Par. 16:8
And Asa was angry with the seer, and commanded him to be put in prison: for he was greatly enraged because of this thing: and he put to death many of the people at that time. 2 Par. 16:10
And Asa fell sick in the nine and thirtieth year of his reign, of a most violent pain in his feet, and yet in his illness he did not seek the Lord, but rather trusted in the skill of physicians. 2 Par. 16:12
And he slept with his fathers: and he died in the one and fortieth year of his reign. 2 Par. 16:13
And they buried him in his own sepulchre, which he had made for himself in the city of David: and they laid him on his bed full of spices and odoriferous ointments, which were made by the art of the perfumers, and they burnt them over him with very great pomp. 2 Par. 16:14

And he prepared many works in the cities of Juda: and he had warriors, and valiant men in Jerusalem. 2 Par. 17:13

So the king of Israel gathered together of the prophets four hundred men, and he said to them: Shall we go to Ramoth Galaad to fight, or shall we forbear? But they said: Go up, and God will deliver it into the king's hand. 2 Par. 18:5
And the king of Israel said to Josaphat: There is one man, of whom we may ask the will of the Lord: but I hate him, for he never prophesieth good to me, but always evil: and it is Micheas the son of Jemla. And Josaphat said: Speak not thus, O king. 2 Par. 18:7
So he came to the king: and the king said to him: Micheas, shall we go to Ramoth Galaad to fight, or forbear? And he answered him: Go up, for all shall succeed prosperously, and the enemies shall be delivered into your hands. 2 Par. 18:14

And Micheas said: If thou return in peace, the Lord hath not spoken by me. And he said: Hear, all ye people. 2 Par. 18:27
So when the captains of the cavalry saw Josaphat, they said: This is the king of Israel. And they surrounded him to attack him: but he cried to the Lord, and he helped him, and turned them away from him. 2 Par. 18:31
For when the captains of the cavalry saw, that he was not the king of Israel, they left him. 2 Par. 18:32

And he charged them, saying, Thus shall you do in the fear of the Lord faithfully, and with a perfect heart. 2 Par. 19:9

And their father gave them great gifts of silver, and of gold, and pensions, with strong cities in Juda: but the kingdom he gave to Joram, because he was the eldest. 2 Par. 21:3
So Joram rose up over the kingdom of his father: and when he had established himself, he slew all his brethren with the sword, and some of the princes of Israel. 2 Par. 21:4
Joram was two and thirty years old when he began to reign: and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem. 2 Par. 21:5
And he walked in the ways of the kings of Israel, as the house of Achab had done: for his wife was a daughter of Achab, and he did evil in the sight of the Lord. 2 Par. 21:6
But the Lord would not destroy the house of David: because of the covenant which he had made with him: and because he had promised to give a lamp to him, and to his sons for ever. 2 Par. 21:7

He also walked in the ways of the house of Achab: for his mother pushed him on to do wickedly. 2 Par. 22:3
So he did evil in the sight of the Lord, as the house of Achab did: for they were his counsellors after the death of his father, to his destruction. 2 Par. 22:4
And he walked after their counsels. And he went with Joram the son of Achab king of Israel, to fight against Hazael king of Syria, at Ramoth Galaad: and the Syrians wounded Joram. 2 Par. 22:5
And he returned to be healed in Jezrahel: for he received many wounds in the foresaid battle. And Ochozias the son of Joram king of Juda, went down to visit Joram the son of Achab in Jezrahel where he lay sick. 2 Par. 22:6
For it was the will of God against Ochozias that he should come to Joram: and when he was come should go out also against Jehu the son of Namsi, whom the Lord had anointed to destroy the house of Achab. 2 Par. 22:7
So when Jehu was rooting out the house of Achab, he found the princes of Juda, and the sons of the brethren of Ochozias, who served him, and he slew them. 2 Par. 22:8
And he sought for Ochozias himself, and took him lying hid in Samaria: and when he was brought to him, he killed him, and they buried him: because he was the son of Josaphat, who had sought the Lord with all his heart. And there was no more hope that any one should reign of the race of Ochozias. 2 Par. 22:9

And he took the captains of hundreds, and the most valiant men, and the chiefs of the people, and all the people of the land, and they brought down the king from the house of the Lord, and brought him through the upper gate into the king's house, and set him on the royal throne. 2 Par. 23:20
¤ Joas was seven years old when he began to reign: and he reigned forty years in Jerusalem: the name of his mother was Sebia of Bersabee. 2 Par. 24:1

And Joiada took for him two wives, by whom he had sons and daughters. 2 Par. 24:3
And he assembled the priests, and the Levites, and said to them: Go out to the cities of Juda, and gather of all Israel money to repair the temple of your God, from year to year: and do this with speed: but the Levites were negligent. 2 Par. 24:5
And when it was time to bring the chest before the king by the hands of the Levites, (for they saw there was much money,) the king's scribe, and he whom the high priest had appointed went in: and they poured out the money that was in the chest: and they carried back the chest to its place: and thus they did from day to day, and there was gathered an immense sum of money. 2 Par. 24:11
But Joiada grew old and was full of days, and died when he was a hundred and thirty years old. 2 Par. 24:15
And they buried him in the city of David among the kings, because he had done good to Israel, and to his house. 2 Par. 24:16
And after the death of Joiada, the princes of Juda went in, and worshipped the king: and he was soothed by their services and hearkened to them. 2 Par. 24:17
And he sent prophets to them to bring them back to the Lord, and they would not give ear when they testified against them. 2 Par. 24:19
The spirit of God then came upon Zacharias the son of Joiada the priest, and he stood in the sight of the people, and said to them: Thus saith the Lord God: Why transgress you the commandment of the Lord which will not be for your good, and have forsaken the Lord, to make him forsake you? 2 Par. 24:20
And king Joas did not remember the kindness that Joiada his father had done to him, but killed his son. And when he died, he said: The Lord see, and require it. 2 Par. 24:22
And departing they left him in great diseases: and his servants rose up against him, for revenge of the blood of the son of Joiada the priest, and they slew him in his bed, and he died: and they buried him in the city of David, but not in the sepulchres of the kings. 2 Par. 24:25

And he did what was good in the sight of the Lord: but yet not with a perfect heart. 2 Par. 25:2
And when he saw himself strengthened in his kingdom, he put to death the servants that had slain the king his father. 2 Par. 25:3
But he slew not their children, as it is written in the book of the law of Moses, where the Lord commanded, saying: The fathers shall not be slain for the children, nor the children for their fathers, but every man shall die for his own sin. 2 Par. 25:4
Amasias therefore gathered Juda together, and appointed them by families, and captains of thousands and of hundreds in all Juda, and Benjamin: and he numbered them from twenty years old and upwards, and found three hundred thousand young men that could go out to battle, and could hold the spear and shield. 2 Par. 25:5
He hired also of Israel a hundred thousand valiant men, for a hundred talents of silver. 2 Par. 25:6
But Amasias after he had slain the Edomites, set up the gods of the children of Seir, which he had brought thence, to be his gods, and adored them, and burnt incense to them. 2 Par. 25:14
And when he spoke these things, he answered him: Art thou the king's counsellor? be quiet, lest I kill thee. And the prophet departing, said: I know that God is minded to kill thee, because thou hast done this evil, and moreover hast not hearkened to my counsel. 2 Par. 25:16
But he sent back the messengers, saying: The thistle that is in Libanus, sent to the cedar in Libanus, saying: Give thy daughter to my son to wife: and behold the beasts that were in the wood of Libanus passed by and trod down the thistle. 2 Par. 25:18
Amasias would not hearken to him, because it was the Lord's will that he should be delivered into the hands of enemies, because of the gods of Edom. 2 Par. 25:20
And he took all the gold, and silver, and all the vessels, that he found in the house of God, and with Obededom, and in the treasures of the king's house, moreover also the sons of the hostages, he brought back to Samaria. 2 Par. 25:24

And he built towers in the wilderness, and dug many cisterns, for he had much cattle both in the plains, and in the waste of the desert: he had also vineyards and dressers of vines in the mountains, and in Carmel: for he was a man that loved husbandry. 2 Par. 26:10
And he made in Jerusalem engines of diverse kinds, which he placed in the towers, and in the corners of the walls, to shoot arrows, and great stones: and his name went forth far abroad, for the Lord helped him, and had strengthened him. 2 Par. 26:15
But when he was made strong, his heart was lifted up to his destruction, and he neglected the Lord his God: and going into the temple of the Lord, he had a mind to burn incense upon the altar of incense. 2 Par. 26:16
And Azarias the high priest, and all the rest of the priests looked upon him, and saw the leprosy in his forehead, and they made haste to thrust him out. Yea himself also being frightened, hasted to go out, because he had quickly felt the stroke of the Lord. 2 Par. 26:20
And Ozias the king was a leper unto the day of his death, and he dwelt in a house apart being full of the leprosy, for which he had been cast out of the house of the Lord. And Joatham his son governed the king's house, and judged the people of the land. 2 Par. 26:21

Moreover he built cities in the mountains of Juda, and castles and towers in the forests. 2 Par. 27:4
He fought against the king of the children of Ammon, and overcame them, and the children of Ammon gave him at that time a hundred talents of silver, and ten thousand measures of wheat, and as many measures of barley: so much did the children of Ammon give him in the second and third year. 2 Par. 27:5

He was five and twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. 2 Par. 27:8
¤ Achaz was twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem: he did not that which was right in the sight of the Lord as David his father had done, 2 Par. 28:1
But walked in the ways of the kings of Israel; moreover also he cast statues for Baalim. 2 Par. 28:2
It was he that burnt incense in the valley of Benennom, and consecrated his sons in the fire according to the manner of the nations, which the Lord slew at the coming of the children of Israel. 2 Par. 28:3
He sacrificed also, and burnt incense in the high places, and on the hills, and under every green tree. 2 Par. 28:4
And the Lord his God delivered him into the hands of the king of Syria, who defeated him, and took a great booty out of his kingdom, and carried it to Damascus: he was also delivered into the hands of the king of Israel, who overthrew him with a great slaughter. 2 Par. 28:5
At that time there was a prophet of the Lord there, whose name was Oded: and he went out to meet the army that came to Samaria, and said to them: Behold the Lord the God of your fathers being angry with Juda, hath delivered them into your hands, and you have butchered them cruelly, so that your cruelty hath reached up to heaven. 2 Par. 28:9
For the Lord had humbled Juda because of Achaz the king of Juda, for he had stripped it of help, and had contemned the Lord. 2 Par. 28:19
And he brought against him Thelgathphalnasar king of the Assyrians, who also afflicted him, and plundered him without any resistance. 2 Par. 28:20
Moreover also in the time of his distress he increased contempt against the Lord: king Achaz himself by himself, 2 Par. 28:22
Sacrificed victims to the gods of Damascus that struck him, and he said: The gods of the kings of Syria help them, and I will appease them with victims, and they will help me; whereas on the contrary they were the ruin of him, and of all Israel. 2 Par. 28:23
And in all the cities of Juda he built altars to burn frankincense, and he provoked the Lord the God of his fathers to wrath. 2 Par. 28:25

Therefore the wrath of the Lord hath been stirred up against Juda and Jerusalem, and he hath delivered them to trouble, and to destruction, and to be hissed at, as you see with your eyes. 2 Par. 29:8
Now therefore I have a mind that we make a covenant with the Lord the God of Israel, and he will turn away the wrath of his indignation from us. 2 Par. 29:10
And they offered together seven bullocks, and seven rams, and seven lambs, and seven he goats for sin, for the kingdom, for the sanctuary, for Juda: and he spoke to the priests the sons of Aaron, to offer them upon the altar of the Lord. 2 Par. 29:21

And he set the Levites in the house of the Lord with cymbals, and psalteries, and harps according to the regulation of David the king, and of Gad the seer, and of Nathan the prophet: for it was the commandment of the Lord by the hand of his prophets. 2 Par. 29:25

Be not like your fathers, and brethren, who departed from the Lord the God of their fathers, and he hath given them up to destruction, as you see. 2 Par. 30:7

He commanded also the people that dwelt in Jerusalem, to give to the priests, and the Levites their portion, that they might attend to the law of the Lord. 2 Par. 31:4
In all the service of the house of the Lord according to the law and the ceremonies, desiring to seek his God with all his heart, and he did it and prospered. 2 Par. 31:21
He took counsel with the princes, and the most valiant men, to stop up the heads of the springs, that were without the city: and as they were all of this mind, 2 Par. 32:3
He gathered together a very great multitude, and they stopped up all the springs, and the brook, that ran through the midst of the land, saying: Lest the kings of the Assyrians should come, and find abundance of water. 2 Par. 32:4
He built up also with great diligence all the wall that had been broken down, and built towers upon it, and another wall without: and he repaired Mello in the city of David, and made all sorts of arms and shields: 2 Par. 32:5
And he appointed captains of the soldiers of the army: and he called them all together in the street of the gate of the city, and spoke to their heart, saying: 2 Par. 32:6
After this, Sennacherib king of the Assyrians sent his servants to Jerusalem, (for he with all his army was besieging Lachis,) to Ezechias king of Juda, and to all the people that were in the city, saying: 2 Par. 32:9
He wrote also letters full of blasphemy against the Lord the God of Israel, and he spoke against him: As the gods of other nations could not deliver their people out of my hand, so neither can the God of Ezechias deliver his people out of this hand. 2 Par. 32:17
Moreover he cried out with a loud voice, in the Jews' tongue, to the people that sat on the walls of Jerusalem, that he might frighten them, and take the city. 2 Par. 32:18
And he spoke against the God of Jerusalem, as against the gods of the people of the earth, the works of the hands of men. 2 Par. 32:19
And the Lord sent an angel, who cut off all the stout men and the warriors, and the captains of the army of the king of the Assyrians: and he returned with disgrace into his own country. And when he was come into the house of his god, his sons that came out of his bowels, slew him with the sword. 2 Par. 32:21
Many also brought victims, and sacrifices to the Lord to Jerusalem, and presents to Ezechias king of Juda: and he was magnified thenceforth in the sight of all nations. 2 Par. 32:23
In those days Ezechias was sick even to death, and he prayed to the Lord: and he heard him, and gave him a sign. 2 Par. 32:24
But he did not render again according to the benefits which he had received, for his heart was lifted up: and wrath was enkindled against him, and against Juda and Jerusalem. 2 Par. 32:25
And he humbled himself afterwards, because his heart had been lifted up, both he and the inhabitants of Jerusalem: and therefore the wrath of the Lord came not upon them in the days of Ezechias. 2 Par. 32:26
And Ezechias was rich, and very glorious, and he gathered himself great treasures of silver and of gold, and of precious stones, of spices, and of arms, of all kinds, and of vessels of great price. 2 Par. 32:27

¤ Manasses was twelve years old when he began to reign, and he reigned fifty-five years in Jerusalem. 2 Par. 33:1

And he turned, and built again the high places which Ezechias his father had destroyed: and he built altars to Baalim, and made groves, and he adored all the host of heaven, and worshipped them. 2 Par. 33:3
He built also altars in the house of the Lord, whereof the Lord had said: In Jerusalem shall my name be for ever. 2 Par. 33:4
And he built them for all the host of heaven in the two courts of the house of the Lord. 2 Par. 33:5
And he made his sons to pass through the fire in the valley of Benennom: he observed dreams, followed divinations, gave himself up to magic arts, had with him magicians, and enchanters: and he wrought many evils before the Lord, to provoke him to anger. 2 Par. 33:6
He set also a graven, and a molten statue in the house of God, of which God had said to David, and to Solomon his son: In this house, and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, will I put my name for ever. 2 Par. 33:7
Therefore he brought upon them the captains of the army of the king of the Assyrians: and they took Manasses, and carried him bound with chains and fetters to Babylon. 2 Par. 33:11

And he entreated him, and besought him earnestly: and he heard his prayer, and brought him again to Jerusalem into his kingdom, and Manasses knew that the Lord was God. 2 Par. 33:13
After this he built a wall without the city of David, on the west side of Gihon in the valley, from the entering in of the fish gate round about to Ophel, and raised it up to a great height: and he appointed captains of the army in all the fenced cities of Juda: 2 Par. 33:14
And he took away the strange gods, and the idol out of the house of the Lord: the altars also which he had made in the mount of the house of the Lord, and in Jerusalem, and he cast them all out of the city. 2 Par. 33:15

Did not Solomon king of Israel sin in this kind of thing: and surely among many nations, there was not a king like him, and he was beloved of his God, and God made him king over all Israel: and yet women of other countries brought even him to sin. 2 Esd. 13:26
When he was made captive in the days of Salmanasar king of the Assyrians, even in his captivity, forsook not the way of truth, Tob. 1:2

But when he was a man, he took to wife Anna of his own tribe, and had a son by her, whom he called after his own name, Tob. 1:9
And from his infancy he taught him to fear God, and to abstain from all sin. Tob. 1:10
And when by the captivity he with his wife and his son and all his tribe was come to the city of Ninive, Tob. 1:11
(When all ate of the meats of the Gentiles) he kept his soul and never was defiled with their meats. Tob. 1:12
And because he was mindful of the Lord with all his heart, God gave him favour in the sight of Salmanasar the king. Tob. 1:13
And he gave him leave to go whithersoever he would, with liberty to do whatever he had a mind. Tob. 1:14
He therefore went to all that were in captivity, and gave them wholesome admonitions. Tob. 1:15
And when he was come to Rages a city of the Medes, and had ten talents of silver of that with which he had been honoured by the king: Tob. 1:16
And when amongst a great multitude of his kindred, he saw Gabelus in want, who was one of his tribe, taking a note of his hand he gave him the aforesaid sum of money. Tob. 1:17
Tobias daily went among all his kindred and comforted them, and distributed to every one as he was able, out of his goods: Tob. 1:19
He fed the hungry, and gave clothes to the naked, and was careful to bury the dead, and they that were slain. Tob. 1:20
But when it was told the king, he commanded him to be slain, and took away all his substance. Tob. 1:22
He said to his son: Go, and bring some of our tribe that fear God, to feast with us. Tob. 2:2
And when he had gone, returning he told him, that one of the children of Israel lay slain in the street. And he forthwith leaped up from his place at the table, and left his dinner, and came fasting to the body. Tob. 2:3
And taking it up carried it privately to his house, that after the sun was down, he might bury him cautiously. Tob. 2:4
And when he had hid the body, he ate bread with mourning and fear, Tob. 2:5
So when the sun was down, he went and buried him. Tob. 2:7
Now it happened one day that being wearied with burying, he came to his house, and cast himself down by the wall and slept, Tob. 2:10
And as he was sleeping, hot dung out of a swallow's nest fell upon his eyes, and he was made blind. Tob. 2:11
For whereas he had always feared God from his infancy, and kept his commandments, he repined not against God because the evil of blindness had befallen him, Tob. 2:13
And when her husband heard it bleating, he said: Take heed, lest perhaps it be stolen: restore ye it to its owners, for it is not lawful for us either to eat or to touch any thing that cometh by theft. Tob. 2:21
But continuing in prayer with tears besought God, that he would deliver her from this reproach. Tob. 3:11
¤ Therefore when Tobias thought that his prayer was heard that he might die, he called to him Tobias his son, Tob. 4:1
But how I shall get this money, I cannot tell; he knoweth not me, and I know not him: what token shall I give him? nor did I ever know the way which leadeth thither. Tob. 5:2
Then his father answered him, and said: I have a note of his hand with me, which when thou shalt shew him, he will presently pay it. Tob. 5:3
And not knowing that he was an angel of God, he saluted him, and said: From whence art thou, good young man? Tob. 5:6
But he answered: Of the children of Israel. And Tobias said to him: Knowest thou the way that leadeth to the country of the Medes? Tob. 5:7
And he answered: I know it: and I have often walked through all the ways thereof, and I have abode with Gabelus our brother, who dwelleth at Rages a city of the Medes, which is situate in the mount of Ecbatana. Tob. 5:8
Then Tobias going in told all these things to his father. Upon which his father being in admiration, desired that he would come in unto him. Tob. 5:10
So going in he saluted him, and said: Joy be to thee always. Tob. 5:11
For I believe that the good angel of God doth accompany him, and doth order all things well that are done about him, so that he shall return to us with joy. Tob. 5:27
¤ And Tobias went forward, and the dog followed him, and he lodged the first night by the river of Tigris. Tob. 6:1
And he went out to wash his feet, and behold a monstrous fish came up to devour him. Tob. 6:2
And Tobias being afraid of him, cried out with a loud voice, saying: Sir, he cometh upon me. Tob. 6:3
And the angel said to him: Take him by the gill, and draw him to thee. And when he had done so, he drew him out upon the land, and he began to pant before his feet. Tob. 6:4
And when he had done so, he roasted the flesh thereof, and they took it with them in the way: the rest they salted as much as might serve them, till they came to Rages the city of the Medes. Tob. 6:6
And the angel answering, said: Here is one whose name is Raguel, a near kinsman of thy tribe, and he hath a daughter named Sara, but he hath no son nor any other daughter beside her. Tob. 6:11
Ask her therefore of her father, and he will give her thee to wife. Tob. 6:13
And when he had spoken these words, he said: Whence are ye young men our brethren? Tob. 7:3
And when he was speaking many good things of him, the angel said to Raguel: Tobias concerning whom thou inquirest is this young man's father. Tob. 7:6
And after they had spoken, Raguel commanded a sheep to be killed, and a feast to be prepared. And when he desired them to sit down to dinner, Tob. 7:9
Now when Raguel heard this he was afraid, knowing what had happened to those seven husbands, that went in unto her: and he began to fear lest it might happen to him also in like manner: and as he was in suspense, and gave no answer to his petition, Tob. 7:11
And I believe he hath therefore made you come to me, that this maid might be married to one of her own kindred, according to the law of Moses: and now doubt not but I will give her to thee. Tob. 7:14
And taking the right hand of his daughter, he gave it into the right hand of Tobias, saying: The God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob be with you, and may he join you together, and fulfil his blessing in you. Tob. 7:15
For he said: Lest perhaps it may have happened to him, in like manner as it did to the other seven husbands, that went in unto her. Tob. 8:12
Send one of thy maids, and let her see if he be dead, that I may bury him before it be day. Tob. 8:14
And he spoke to his wife to make ready a feast, and prepare all kind of provisions that are necessary for such as go a journey. Tob. 8:21
He caused also two fat kine, and four wethers to be killed, and a banquet to be prepared for all his neighbours, and all his friends, Tob. 8:22
And of all things which Raguel possessed, he gave one half to Tobias, and made a writing, that the half that remained should after their decease come also to Tobias. Tob. 8:24
¤ Then Tobias called the angel to him, whom he took to be a man, and said to him: Brother Azarias, I pray thee hearken to my words: Tob. 9:1
And he told him concerning Tobias the son of Tobias, all that had been done: and made him come with him to the wedding. Tob. 9:7
And when he was come into Raguel's house he found Tobias sitting at the table: and he leaped up, and they kissed each other: and Gabelus wept, and blessed God, Tob. 9:8
¤ But as Tobias made longer stay upon occasion of the marriage, Tobias his father was solicitous, saying: Why thinkest thou doth my son tarry, or why is he detained there? Tob. 10:1
And he began to be exceeding sad, both he and Anna his wife with him: and they began both to weep together, because their son did not return to them on the day appointed. Tob. 10:3
But she could by no means be comforted, but daily running out looked round about, and went into all the ways by which there seemed any hope he might return, that she might if possible see him coming afar off. Tob. 10:7
And when Raguel had pressed Tobias with many words, and he by no means would hearken to him, he delivered Sara unto him, and half of all his substance in menservants, and womenservants, in cattle, in camels, and in kine, and in much money, and sent him away safe and joyful from him, Tob. 10:10
Then the dog, which had been with them in the way, ran before, and coming as if he had brought the news, shewed his joy by his fawning and wagging his tail. Tob. 11:9
And he stayed about half an hour: and a white skin began to come out of his eyes, like the skin of an egg. Tob. 11:14
And Tobias took hold of it, and drew it from his eyes, and immediately he recovered his sight. Tob. 11:15
And they glorified God, both he and his wife and all that knew him. Tob. 11:16
And after seven days Sara his son's wife and all the family arrived safe, and the cattle, and the camels, and an abundance of money of his wife's: and that money also which he had received of Gabelus, Tob. 11:18
And he told his parents all the benefits of God, which he had done to him by the man that conducted him. Tob. 11:19
He conducted me and brought me safe again, he received the money of Gabelus, he caused me to have my wife, and he chased from her the evil spirit, he gave joy to her parents, myself he delivered from being devoured by the fish, thee also he hath made to see the light of heaven, and we are filled with all good things through him. What can we give him sufficient for these things? Tob. 12:3
But I beseech thee, my father, to desire him, that he would vouchsafe to accept of one half of all things that have been brought. Tob. 12:4
So the father and the son calling him, took him aside: and began to desire him that he would vouchsafe to accept of half of all things that they had brought, Tob. 12:5
Then he said to them secretly, Bless ye the God of heaven, give glory to him in the sight of all that live, because he hath shewn his mercy to you. Tob. 12:6
And when he had said these things, he was taken from their sight, and they could see him no more. Tob. 12:21
Because he hath therefore scattered you among the Gentiles, who know not him, that you may declare his wonderful works, and make them know that there is no other almighty God besides him. Tob. 13:4
He hath chastised us for our iniquities: and he will save us for his own mercy. Tob. 13:5
See then what he hath done with us, and with fear and trembling give ye glory to him: and extol the eternal King of worlds in your works. Tob. 13:6
As for me, I will praise him in the land of my captivity: because he hath shewn his majesty toward a sinful nation, Tob. 13:7
Be converted therefore, ye sinners, and do justice before God, believing that he will shew his mercy to you. Tob. 13:8
Give glory to the Lord for thy good things, and bless the God eternal that he may rebuild his tabernacle in thee, and may call back all the captives to thee, and thou mayst rejoice for ever and ever. Tob. 13:12
Blessed be the Lord, who hath exalted it, and may he reign over it for ever and ever, Amen. Tob. 13:23
¤ And the words of Tobias were ended. And after Tobias was restored to his sight, he lived two and forty years, and saw the children of his grandchildren. Tob. 14:1
And after he had lived a hundred and two years, he was buried honourably in Ninive. Tob. 14:2
For he was six and fifty years old when he lost the sight of his eyes, and sixty when he recovered it again. Tob. 14:3
And the rest of his life was in joy, and with great increase of the fear of God he departed in peace. Tob. 14:4
And at the hour of his death he called unto him his son Tobias and his children, seven young men, his grandsons, and said to them: Tob. 14:5
And he found them in health in a good old age: and he took care of them, and he closed their eyes: and all the inheritance of Raguel's house came to him: and he saw his children's children to the fifth generation. Tob. 14:15
And after he had lived ninety-nine years in the fear of the Lord, with joy they buried him. Tob. 14:16
‡ ¤ Now Arphaxad king of the Medes had brought many nations under his dominions, and he built a very strong city, which he called Ecbatana, Jud. 1:1
Of stones squared and hewed: he made the walls thereof seventy cubits broad, and thirty cubits high, and the towers thereof he made a hundred cubits high. But on the square of them, each side was extended the space of twenty feet. Jud. 1:2
And he made the gates thereof according to the height of the towers: Jud. 1:3
And he gloried as a mighty one in the force of his army and in the glory of his chariots. Jud. 1:4
Then was the kingdom of Nabuchodonosor exalted, and his heart was elevated: and he sent to all that dwelt in Cilicia and Damascus, and Libanus, Jud. 1:7
Then king Nabuchodonosor being angry against all that land, swore by his throne and kingdom that he would revenge himself of all those countries. Jud. 1:12
¤ In the thirteenth year of the reign of Nabuchodonosor, the two and twentieth day of the first month, the word was given out in the house of Nabuchodonosor king of the Assyrians, that he would revenge himself. Jud. 2:1
And he called all the ancients, and all the governors, and his officers of war, and communicated to them the secret of his counsel: Jud. 2:2
And he said that his thoughts were to bring all the earth under his empire. Jud. 2:3
Then Holofernes called the captains, and officers of the power of the Assyrians: and he mustered men for the expedition, and the king commanded him, a hundred and twenty thousand fighting men on foot, and twelve thousand archers, horsemen. Jud. 2:7
And he made all his warlike preparations to go before with a multitude of innumerable camels, with all provisions sufficient for the armies in abundance, and herds of oxen, and flocks of sheep, without number. Jud. 2:8
He appointed corn to be prepared out of all Syria in his passage. Jud. 2:9
But gold and silver he took out of the king's house in great abundance. Jud. 2:10
And he went forth he and all the army, with the chariots, and horsemen, and archers, who covered the face of the earth, like locusts. Jud. 2:11
And when he had passed through the borders of the Assyrians, he came to the great mountains of Ange, which are on the left of Cilicia: and he went up to all their castles, and took all the strong places. Jud. 2:12
And he took by assault the renowned city of Melothus, and pillaged all the children of Tharsis, and the children of Ismahel, who were over against the face of the desert, and on the south of the land of Cellon. Jud. 2:13
And he passed over the Euphrates and came into Mesopotamia: and he forced all the stately cities that were there, from the torrent of Mambre, till one comes to the sea: Jud. 2:14
And he took the borders thereof, from Cilicia to the coasts of Japheth, which are towards the south. Jud. 2:15
And he carried away all the children of Madian, and stripped them of all their riches, and all that resisted him he slew with the edge of the sword. Jud. 2:16
And after these things he went down into the plains of Damascus in the days of the harvest, and he set all the corn on fire, and he caused all the trees and vineyards to be cut down. Jud. 2:17
Then he came down from the mountains with horsemen, in great power, and made himself master of every city, and all the inhabitants of the land. Jud. 3:7
And from all the cities he took auxiliaries valiant men, and chosen for war, Jud. 3:8
For he both destroyed their cities, and cut down their groves. Jud. 3:12
For Nabuchodonosor the king had commanded him to destroy all the gods of the earth, that he only might be called God by those nations which could be brought under him by the power of Holofernes. Jud. 3:13
And when he had passed through all Syria Sobal, and all Apamea, and all Mesopotamia, he came to the Idumeans into the land of Gabaa, Jud. 3:14
And he took possession of their cities, and stayed there for thirty days, in which days he commanded all the troops of his army to be united. Jud. 3:15
Dread and horror seized upon their minds, lest he should do the same to Jerusalem and to the temple of the Lord, that he had done to other cities and their temples. Jud. 4:2
And they all begged of God with all their heart, that he would visit his people Israel. Jud. 4:16
And he was transported with exceeding great fury and indignation, and he called all the princes of Moab and the leaders of Ammon. Jud. 5:2
And he said to them: Tell me what is this people that besetteth the mountains: or what are their cities, and of what sort, and how great: also what is their power, or what is their multitude: or who is the king over their warfare: Jud. 5:3
And when the king of Egypt oppressed them, and made slaves of them to labour in clay and brick, in the building of his cities, they cried to their Lord, and he struck the whole land of Egypt with divers plagues. Jud. 5:10
That Achior therefore may know that he deceiveth us, let us go up into the mountains: and when the bravest of them shall be taken, then shall he with them be stabbed with the sword, Jud. 5:28
And Achior related in the midst of the ancients, and in the presence of all the people, all that he had said being asked by Holofernes: and how the people of Holofernes would have killed him for this word, Jud. 6:12
And how Holofernes himself being angry had commanded him to be delivered for this cause to the Israelites: that when he should overcome the children of Israel, then he might command Achior also himself to be put to death by diverse torments, for having said: The God of heaven is their defender. Jud. 6:13
Now Holofernes, in going round about, found that the fountain which supplied them with water, ran through an aqueduct without the city on the south side: and he commanded their aqueduct to be cut off. Jud. 7:6
And these words pleased Holofernes, and his officers, and he placed all round about a hundred men at every spring. Jud. 7:10
For perhaps he will put a stop to his indignation, and will give glory to his own name. Jud. 7:24
For he was standing over them that bound sheaves in the field; and the heat came upon his head, and he died in Bethulia his own city, and was buried there with his fathers. Jud. 8:3
When therefore she had heard that Ozias had promised that he would deliver up the city after the fifth day, she sent to the ancients Chabri and Charmi. Jud. 8:9
Let us ask the Lord with tears, that according to his will so he would shew his mercy to us: that as our heart is troubled by their pride, so also we may glorify in our humility. Jud. 8:17
Let us humbly wait for his consolation, and the Lord our God will require our blood of the afflictions of our enemies, and he will humble all the nations that shall rise up against us, and bring them to disgrace. Jud. 8:20
For this will be a glorious monument for thy name, when he shall fall by the hand of a woman. Jud. 9:15
But they asked her no question, only they let her pass, saying: The God of our fathers give thee grace, and may he strengthen all the counsel of thy heart with his power, that Jerusalem may glory in thee, and thy name may be in the number of the holy and just. Jud. 10:8
For this reason I thought with myself, saying: I will go to the presence of the prince Holofernes, that I may tell him their secrets, and shew him by what way he may take them, without the loss of one man of his army. Jud. 10:13
And be assured of this, that when thou shalt stand before him, he will treat thee well, and thou wilt be most acceptable to his heart. And they brought her to the tent of Holofernes, telling him of her. Jud. 10:16
For it is certain that our God is so offended with sins, that he hath sent word by his prophets to the people, that he will deliver them up for their sins. Jud. 11:8
And he will tell me when he will repay them for their sins, and I will come and tell thee, so that I may bring thee through the midst of Jerusalem, and thou shalt have all the people of Israel, as sheep that have no shepherd, and there shall not so much as one dog bark against thee: Jud. 11:15
And because thy promise is good, if thy God shall do this for me, he shall also be my God, and thou shalt be great in the house of Nabuchodonosor, and thy name shall be renowned through all the earth. Jud. 11:21
¤ Then he ordered that she should go in where his treasures were laid up, and bade her tarry there, and he appointed what should be given her from his own table. Jud. 12:1
And Judith said: As thy soul liveth, my lord, thy handmaid shall not spend all these things till God do by my hand that which I have purposed. And his servants brought her into the tent which he had commanded. Jud. 12:4
And he commanded his chamberlains, that she might go out and in, to adore her God as she pleased, for three days. Jud. 12:6
And as she came up, she prayed to the Lord the God of Israel, that he would direct her way to the deliverance of his people. Jud. 12:8
And the heart of Holofernes was smitten, for he was burning with the desire of her. Jud. 12:16
And Holofernes was made merry on her occasion, and drank exceeding much wine, so much as he had never drunk in his life. Jud. 12:20
And by me his handmaid he hath fulfilled his mercy, which he promised to the house of Israel: and he hath killed the enemy of his people by my hand this night. Jud. 13:18
Then she brought forth the head of Holofernes out of the wallet, and shewed it them, saying: Behold the head of Holofernes the general of the army of the Assyrians, and behold his canopy, wherein he lay in his drunkenness, where the Lord our God slew him by the hand of a woman. Jud. 13:19
Give all of you glory to him, because he is good, because his mercy endureth for ever. Jud. 13:21
And they all adored the Lord, and said to her: The Lord hath blessed thee by his power, because by thee he hath brought our enemies to nought. Jud. 13:22
Because he hath so magnified thy name this day, that thy praise shall not depart out of the mouth of men who shall be mindful of the power of the Lord for ever, for that thou hast not spared thy life, by reason of the distress and tribulation of thy people, but hast prevented our ruin in the presence of our God. Jud. 13:25
And Achior being called for came, and Judith said to him: The God of Israel, to whom thou gavest testimony, that he revengeth himself of his enemies, he hath cut off the head of all the unbelievers this night by my hand. Jud. 13:27
Then Achior seeing the head of Holofernes, being seized with a great fear he fell on his face upon the earth, and his soul swooned away. Jud. 13:29
But after he had recovered his spirits he fell down at her feet, and reverenced her, and said: Jud. 13:30
Then Achior seeing the power that the God of Israel had wrought, leaving the religion of the Gentiles, he believed God, and circumcised the flesh of his foreskin, and was joined to the people of Israel, with all the succession of his kindred until this present day. Jud. 14:6
Then Vagao going into his chamber, stood before the curtain, and made a clapping with his hands: for he thought that he was sleeping with Judith. Jud. 14:13
But when with hearkening, he perceived no motion of one lying, he came near to the curtain, and lifting it up, and seeing the body of Holofernes, lying upon the ground, without the head, weltering in his blood, he cried out with a loud voice, with weeping, and rent his garments. Jud. 14:14
And he went into the tent of Judith, and not finding her, he ran out to the people, Jud. 14:15
He hath set his camp in the midst of his people, to deliver us from the hand of all our enemies. Jud. 16:4
He bragged that he would set my borders on fire, and kill my young men with the sword, to make my infants a prey, and my virgins captives. Jud. 16:6
Woe be to the nation that riseth up against my people: for the Lord almighty will take revenge on them, in the day of judgment he will visit them. Jud. 16:20
For he will give fire, and worms into their flesh, that they may burn, and may feel for ever. Jud. 16:21
Now he was of the number of the captives, whom Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon had carried away from Jerusalem with Jechonias king of Juda: Esther 11:4
And when Mardochai had seen this, and arose out of his bed, he was thinking what God would do: and he kept it fixed in his mind, desirous to know what the dream should signify. Esther 11:12
¤ And he abode at that time in the king's court with Bagatha and Thara the king's eunuchs, who were porters of the palace. Esther 12:1
And when he understood their designs, and had diligently searched into their projects, he learned that they went about to lay violent hands on king Artaxerxes, and he told the king thereof. Esther 12:2
When he sat on the throne of his kingdom, the city Susan was the capital of his kingdom. Esther 1:2
Now in the third year of his reign he made a great feast for all the princes, and for his servants, for the most mighty of the Persians, and the nobles of the Medes, and the governors of the provinces in his sight, Esther 1:3
That he might shew the riches of the glory of his kingdom, and the greatness, and boasting of his power, for a long time, to wit, for a hundred and fourscore days. Esther 1:4
And when the days of the feast were expired, he invited all the people that were found in Susan, from the greatest to the least: and commanded a feast to be made seven days in the court of the garden, and of the wood, which was planted by the care and the hand of the king. Esther 1:5
Neither was there any one to compel them to drink that were not willing, but as the king had appointed, who set over every table one of his nobles, that every man might take what he would. Esther 1:8
Now on the seventh day, when the king was merry, and after very much drinking was well warmed with wine, he commanded Mauman, and Bazatha, and Harbona, and Bagatha, and Abgatha, and Zethar, and Charcas, the seven eunuchs that served in his presence, Esther 1:10
But she refused, and would not come at the king's commandment, which he had signified to her by the eunuchs. Whereupon the king, being angry, and inflamed with a very great fury, Esther 1:12
Asked the wise men, who according to the custom of the kings, were always near his person, and all he did was by their counsel, who knew the laws, and judgments of their forefathers: Esther 1:13
What sentence ought to pass upon Vasthi the queen, who had refused to obey the commandment of king Assuerus, which he had sent to her by the eunuchs? Esther 1:15
And he sent letters to all the provinces of his kingdom, as every nation could hear and read, in divers languages and characters, that the husbands should be rulers and masters in their houses: and that this should be published to every people. Esther 1:22
¤ After this, when the wrath of king Assuerus was appeased, he remembered Vasthi, and what she had done and what she had suffered: Esther 2:1
And whosoever among them all shall please the king's eyes, let her be queen instead of Vasthi. The word pleased the king: and he commanded it should be done as they had suggested. Esther 2:4
And he had brought up his brother's daughter Edissa, who by another name was called Esther: now she had lost both her parents: and was exceeding fair and beautiful. And her father and mother being dead, Mardochai adopted her for his daughter. Esther 2:7
And she pleased him, and found favour in his sight. And he commanded the eunuch to hasten the women's ornaments, and to deliver to her her part, and seven of the most beautiful maidens of the king's house, and to adorn and deck out both her and her waiting maids. Esther 2:9
And he walked every day before the court of the house, in which the chosen virgins were kept, having a care for Esther's welfare, and desiring to know what would befall her. Esther 2:11
And as the time came orderly about, the day was at hand, when Esther, the daughter of Abihail the brother of Mardochai, whom he had adopted for his daughter, was to go in to the king. But she sought not women's ornaments, but whatsoever Egeus the eunuch the keeper of the virgins had a mind, he gave her to adorn her. For she was exceeding fair, and her incredible beauty made her appear agreeable and amiable in the eyes of all. Esther 2:15
And the king loved her more than all the women, and she had favour and kindness before him above all the women, and he set the royal crown on her head, and made her queen instead of Vasthi. Esther 2:17
And he commanded a magnificent feast to be prepared for all the princes, and for his servants, for the marriage and wedding of Esther, And he gave rest to all the provinces, and bestowed gifts according to princely magnificence. Esther 2:18
Neither had Esther as yet declared her country and people, according to his commandment. For whatsoever he commanded, Esther observed: and she did all things in the same manner as she was wont at that time when he brought her up a little one. Esther 2:20
And Mardochai had notice of it, and immediately he told it to queen Esther: and she to the king in Mardochai's name, who had reported the thing unto her. Esther 2:22
¤ After these things, king Assuerus advanced Aman, the son of Amadathi, who was of the race of Agag: and he set his throne above all the princes that were with him. Esther 3:1
And when they were saying this often, and he would not hearken to them, they told Aman, desirous to know whether he would continue in his resolution: for he had told them that he was a Jew. Esther 3:4
Now when Aman had heard this, and had proved by experience that Mardochai did not bend his knee to him, nor worship him, he was exceeding angry. Esther 3:5
And he counted it nothing to lay his hands upon Mardochai alone: for he had heard that he was of the nation of the Jews, and he chose rather to destroy all the nation of the Jews that were in the kingdom of Assuerus. Esther 3:6
And the king took the ring that he used, from his own hand, and gave it to Aman, the son of Amadathi of the race of Agag, the enemy of the Jews, Esther 3:10
And he said to him: As to the money which thou promisest, keep it for thyself: and as to the people, do with them as seemeth good to thee. Esther 3:11
¤ Now when Mardochai had heard these things, he rent his garments, and put on sackcloth, strewing ashes on his head and he cried with a loud voice in the street in the midst of the city, shewing the anguish of his mind. Esther 4:1
And he came lamenting in this manner even to the gate of the palace: for no one clothed with sackcloth might enter the king's court. Esther 4:2
Then Esther's maids and her eunuchs went in, and told her. And when she heard it she was in a consternation and she sent a garment, to clothe him, and to take away the sackcloth: but he would not receive it. Esther 4:4
And she called for Athach the eunuch, whom the king had appointed to attend upon her, and she commanded him to go to Mardochai, and learn of him why he did this. Esther 4:5
He gave him also a copy of the edict which was hanging up in Susan, that he should shew it to the queen, and admonish her to go in to the king, and to entreat him for her people. Esther 4:8
¤ And he commanded her (no doubt but he was Mardochai) to go to the king, and petition for her people, and for her country. Esther 15:1
Remember, (said he,) the days of thy low estate, how thou wast brought up by my hand, because Aman the second after the king hath spoken against us unto death. Esther 15:2
All the king's servants, and all the provinces that are under his dominion, know, that whosoever, whether man or woman, cometh into the king's inner court, who is not called for, is immediately to be put to death without any delay: except the king shall hold out the golden sceptre to him, in token of clemency, that so he may live. How then can I go in to the king, who for these thirty days now have not been called unto him? Esther 4:11
He sent word to Esther again, saying: Think not that thou mayst save thy life only, because thou art in the king's house, more than all the Jews: Esther 4:13
Give me a well ordered speech in my mouth in the presence of the lion, and turn his heart to the hatred of our enemy, that both he himself may perish, and the rest that consent to him. Esther 14:13
So going in she passed through all the doors in order, and stood before the king, where he sat upon his royal throne, clothed with his royal robes, and glittering with gold, and precious stones, and he was terrible to behold. Esther 15:9
And when he had lifted up his countenance, and with burning eyes had shewn the wrath of his heart, the queen sunk down, and her colour turned pale, and she rested her weary head upon her handmaid. Esther 15:10
And God changed the king's spirit into mildness, and all in haste and in fear he leaped from his throne, and holding her up in his arms, till she came to herself, caressed her with these words: Esther 15:11
And as she held her peace, he took the golden sceptre, and laid it upon her neck, and kissed her, and said: Why dost thou not speak to me? Esther 15:15
¤ And on the third day Esther put on her royal apparel, and stood in the inner court of the king's house, over against the king's hall: now he sat upon his throne in the hall of the palace, over against the door of the house. Esther 5:1
And when he saw Esther the queen standing, she pleased his eyes, and he held out toward her the golden sceptre, which he held in his hand and she drew near, and kissed the top of his sceptre. Esther 5:2
And the king said forthwith: Call ye Aman quickly, that he may obey Esther's will. So the king and Aman came to the banquet which the queen had prepared for them. Esther 5:5
And the king said to her, after he had drunk wine plentifully: What dost thou desire should be given thee? and for what thing askest thou? although thou shouldst ask the half of my kingdom, thou shalt have it. Esther 5:6
So Aman went out that day joyful and merry. And when he saw Mardochai sitting before the gate of the palace, and that he not only did not rise up to honour him, but did not so much as move from the place where he sat, he was exceedingly angry: Esther 5:9
But dissembling his anger, and returning into his house, he called together to him his friends, and Zares his wife: Esther 5:10
And he declared to them the greatness of his riches, and the multitude of his children, and with how great glory the king had advanced him above all his princes and servants. Esther 5:11
And after this he said: Queen Esther also hath invited no other to the banquet with the king, but me: and with her I am also to dine to morrow with the king: Esther 5:12
Then Zares his wife, and the rest of his friends answered him: Order a great beam to be prepared, fifty cubits high, and in the morning speak to the king, that Mardochai may be hanged upon it, and so thou shalt go full of joy with the king to the banquet. The counsel pleased him, and he commanded a high gibbet to be prepared. Esther 5:14
¤ That night the king passed without sleep, and he commanded the histories and chronicles of former times to be brought him. And when they were reading them before him, Esther 6:1
And when the king heard this, he said: What honour and reward hath Mardochai received for this fidelity? His servants and ministers said to him: He hath received no reward at all. Esther 6:3
And the king said immediately: Who is in the court? for Aman was coming in to the inner court of the king's house, to speak to the king, that he might order Mardochai to be hanged upon the gibbet, which was prepared for him. Esther 6:4
And when he was come in, he said to him: What ought to be done to the man whom the king is desirous to honour? But Aman thinking in his heart, and supposing that the king would honour no other but himself, Esther 6:6
And let the first of the king's princes and nobles hold his horse, and going through the street of the city, proclaim before him and say: Thus shall he be honoured, whom the king hath a mind to honour. Esther 6:9
So Aman took the robe and the horse, and arraying Mardochai in the street of the city, and setting him on the horse, went before him, and proclaimed: This honour is he worthy of, whom the king hath a mind to honour. Esther 6:11
And he told Zares his wife, and his friends, all that had befallen him. And the wise men whom he had in counsel, and his wife answered him: If Mardochai be of the seed of the Jews, before whom thou hast begun to fall, thou canst not resist him, but thou shalt fall in his sight. Esther 6:13
And the king said to her again the second day, after he was warm with wine: What is thy petition, Esther, that it may be granted thee? and what wilt thou have done: although thou ask the half of my kingdom, thou shalt have it. Esther 7:2
And king Assuerus answered and said: Who is this, and of what power, that he should do these things? Esther 7:5
But the king being angry rose up, and went from the place of the banquet into the garden set with trees. Aman also rose up to entreat Esther the queen for his life, for he understood that evil was prepared for him by the king. Esther 7:7
And when the king came back out of the garden set with trees, and entered into the place of the banquet, he found Aman was fallen upon the bed on which Esther lay, and he said: He will force the queen also in my presence, in my own house. The word was not yet gone out of the king's mouth, and immediately they covered his face. Esther 7:8
And Harbona, one of the eunuchs that stood waiting on the king, said: Behold the gibbet which he hath prepared for Mardochai, who spoke for the king, standeth in Aman's house, being fifty cubits high. And the king said to him: Hang him upon it. Esther 7:9
So Aman was hanged on the gibbet, which he had prepared for Mardochai: and the king's wrath ceased. Esther 7:10
¤ On that day king Assuerus gave the house of Aman, the Jews' enemy, to queen Esther, and Mardochai came in before the king. For Esther had confessed to him that he was her uncle. Esther 8:1
And the king took the ring which he had commanded to be taken again from Aman, and gave it to Mardochai. And Esther set Mardochai over her house. Esther 8:2
And not content with these things, she fell down at the king's feet and wept, and speaking to him besought him, that he would give orders that the malice of Aman the Agagite, and his most wicked devices which he had invented against the Jews, should be of no effect. Esther 8:3
But he, as the manner was, held out the golden sceptre with his hand, which was the sign of clemency: and she arose up and stood before him, Esther 8:4
And said: If it please the king, and if I have found favour in his sight, and my request be not disagreeable to him, I beseech thee, that the former letters of Aman the traitor and enemy of the Jews, by which he commanded that they should be destroyed in all the king's provinces, may be reversed by new letters. Esther 8:5
And king Assuerus answered Esther the queen, and Mardochai the Jew: I have given Aman's house to Esther, and I have commanded him to be hanged on a gibbet, because he durst lay hands on the Jews. Esther 8:7
And found our humanity so great towards him, that he was called our father, and was worshipped by all as the next man after the king: Esther 16:11
But he was so far puffed up with arrogancy, as to go about to deprive us of our kingdom and life. Esther 16:12
For with certain new and unheard of devices he hath sought the destruction of Mardochai, by whose fidelity and good services our life was saved, and of Esther the partner of our kingdom with all their nation: Esther 16:13
Thinking that after they were slain, he might work treason against us left alone without friends, and might transfer the kingdom of the Persians to the Macedonians. Esther 16:14
Wherefore know ye that those letters which he sent in our name, are void and of no effect. Esther 16:17
For which crime both he himself that devised it, and all his kindred hang on gibbets, before the gates of this city Susan: not we, but God repaying him as he deserved. Esther 16:18
And he said to the queen: The Jews have killed five hundred men in the city of Susan, besides the ten sons of Aman: how many dost thou think they have slain in all the provinces? What askest thou more, and what wilt thou have me to command to be done? Esther 9:12
And afterwards Esther went in to the king, beseeching him that his endeavours might be made void by the king's letters: and the evil that he had intended against the Jews, might return upon his own head. And so both he and his sons were hanged upon gibbets. Esther 9:25
And his strength and his empire, and the dignity and greatness wherewith he exalted Mardochai, are written in the books of the Medes, and of the Persians: Esther 10:2
And my nation is Israel, who cried to the Lord, and the Lord saved his people: and he delivered us from all evils, and hath wrought great signs and wonders among the nations: Esther 10:9
And he commanded that there should be two lots, one of the people of God, and the other of all the nations. Esther 10:10
¤ In the fourth year of the reign of Ptolemy and Cleopatra, Dositheus, who said he was a priest, and of the Levitical race, and Ptolemy his son brought this epistle of Phurim, which they said Lysimachus the son of Ptolemy had interpreted in Jerusalem. Esther 11:1
And when the days of their feasting were gone about, Job sent to them, and sanctified them: and rising up early, offered holocausts for every one of them. For he said: Lest perhaps my sons have sinned, and have blessed God in their hearts. So did Job all days. Job 1:5
And the Lord said to him: Whence comest thou? And he answered and said: I have gone round about the earth, and walked through it. Job 1:7
But stretch forth thy hand a little, and touch all that he hath, and see if he bless thee to thy face. Job 1:11
Then the Lord said to Satan: Behold, all that he hath is in thy hand: only put not forth thy hand upon his person. And Satan went forth from the presence of the Lord. Job 1:12

The sound of dread is always in his ears: and when there is peace, he always suspecteth treason. Job 15:21
He believeth not that he may return from darkness to light, looking round about for the sword on every side. Job 15:22
When he moveth himself to seek bread, he knoweth that the day of darkness is ready at his hand. Job 15:23
For he hath stretched out his hand against God, and hath strengthened himself against the Almighty. Job 15:25
He hath run against him with his neck raised up, and is armed with a fat neck. Job 15:26
He hath dwelt in desolate cities, and in desert houses that are reduced into heaps. Job 15:28

In the end he shall be destroyed like a dunghill, and they that had seen him, shall say: Where is he? Job 20:7
As a dream that fleeth away he shall not be found, he shall pass as a vision of the night: Job 20:8
For when evil shall be sweet in his mouth, he will hide it under his tongue. Job 20:12
He will spare it, and not leave it, and will hide it in his throat. Job 20:13
The riches which he hath swallowed, he shall vomit up, and God shall draw them out of his belly. Job 20:15
He shall suck the head of asps, and the viper's tongue shall kill him. Job 20:16
He shall be punished for all that he did, and yet shall not be consumed: according to the multitude of his devices so also shall he suffer. Job 20:18
Because he broke in and stripped the poor: he hath violently taken away a house which he did not build. Job 20:19
And yet his belly was not filled: and when he hath the things he coveted, he shall not be able to possess them. Job 20:20
When he shall be filled, he shall be straitened, he shall burn, and every sorrow shall fall upon him. Job 20:22
He shall flee from weapons of iron, and shall fall upon a bow of brass. Job 20:24
All darkness is hid in his secret places: a fire that is not kindled shall devour him, he shall be afflicted when left in his tabernacle. Job 20:26
The offspring of his house shall be exposed, he shall be pulled down in the day of God's wrath. Job 20:28

God shall lay up the sorrow of the father for his children: and when he shall repay, then shall he know. Job 21:19
His eyes shall see his own destruction, and he shall drink of the wrath of the Almighty. Job 21:20
Ask any one of them that go by the way, and you shall perceive that he knoweth these same things. Job 21:29
Because the wicked man is reserved to the day of destruction, and he shall be brought to the day of wrath. Job 21:30

But if I go to the east, he appeareth not; if to the west, I shall not understand him. Job 23:8
But he knoweth my way, and has tried me as gold that passeth through the fire: Job 23:10
For he is alone, and no man can turn away his thought: and whatsoever his soul hath desired, that hath he done. Job 23:13
And when he shall have fulfilled his will in me, many other like things are also at hand with him. Job 23:14

He stretched out the north over the empty space, and hangeth the earth upon nothing. Job 26:7
He bindeth up the waters in his clouds, so that they break not out and fall down together. Job 26:8
He withholdeth the face of his throne, and spreadeth his cloud over it. Job 26:9
He hath set bounds about the waters, till light and darkness come to an end. Job 26:10
For what is the hope of the hypocrite if through covetousness he take by violence, and God deliver not his soul? Job 27:8
Or can he delight himself in the Almighty, and call upon God at all times? Job 27:10
If he shall heap together silver as earth, and prepare raiment as clay, Job 27:16
He shall prepare indeed, but the just man shall be clothed with it: and the innocent shall divide the silver. Job 27:17
He hath built his house as a moth, and as a keeper he hath made a booth. Job 27:18
The rich man when he shall sleep shall take away nothing with him: he shall open his eyes and find nothing. Job 27:19

He shall clasp his hands upon him, and shall hiss at him, beholding his place. Job 27:23
He hath set a time for darkness, and the end of all things he considereth, the stone also that is in the dark and the shadow of death. Job 28:3
He hath stretched forth his hand to the flint, he hath overturned mountains from the roots. Job 28:9
In the rocks he hath cut out rivers, and his eye hath seen every precious thing. Job 28:10
The depths also of rivers he hath searched, and hidden things he hath brought forth to light. Job 28:11
God understandeth the way of it, and he knoweth the place thereof. Job 28:23
For he beholdeth the ends of the world: and looketh on all things that are under heaven. Job 28:24
When he gave a law for the rain, and a way for the sounding storms. Job 28:26
Then he saw it, and declared, and prepared, and searched it. Job 28:27
And he said to man: Behold the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom: and to depart from evil, is understanding. Job 28:28
For he hath opened his quiver, and hath afflicted me, and hath put a bridle into my mouth. Job 30:11
Doth not he consider my ways, and number all my steps? Job 31:4
For what shall I do when God shall rise to judge? and when he shall examine, what shall I answer him? Job 31:14
Did not he that made me in the womb make him also: and did not one and the same form me in the womb? Job 31:15
If his sides have not blessed me, and if he were not warmed with the fleece of my sheep: Job 31:20
Who would grant me a hearing, that the Almighty may hear my desire: and that he himself that judgeth would write a book, Job 31:35
¤ So these three men ceased to answer Job, because he seemed just to himself. Job 32:1
And Eliu the son of Barachel the Buzite of the kindred of Ram, was angry and was moved to indignation: now he was angry against Job, because he said he was just before God. Job 32:2
And he was angry with his friends, because they had not found a reasonable answer, but only had condemned Job. Job 32:3
But when he saw that the three were not able to answer, he was exceedingly angry. Job 32:5
He hath spoken nothing to me, and I will not answer him according to your words. Job 32:14
Because he hath found complaints against me, therefore he hath counted me for his enemy. Job 33:10
He hath put my feet in the stocks, he hath observed all my paths. Job 33:11
Dost thou strive against him, because he hath not answered thee to all words? Job 33:13
Then he openeth the ears of men, and teaching instructeth them in what they are to learn. Job 33:16
That he may withdraw a man from the things he is doing, and may deliver him from pride. Job 33:17
He rebuketh also by sorrow in the bed, and he maketh all his bones to wither. Job 33:19
Bread becometh abominable to him in his life, and to his soul the meat which before he desired. Job 33:20
He shall have mercy on him, and shall say: Deliver him, that he may not go down to corruption: I have found wherein I may be merciful to him. Job 33:24
He shall pray to God, and he will be gracious to him: and he shall see his face with joy, and he will render to man his justice. Job 33:26
He shall look upon men, and shall say: I have sinned, and indeed I have offended, and I have not received what I have deserved. Job 33:27
He hath delivered his soul from going into destruction, that it may live and see the light. Job 33:28
That he may withdraw their souls from corruption, and enlighten them with the light of the living. Job 33:30
For he hath said: Man shall not please God, although he run with him. Job 34:9
For he will render to a man his work, and according to the ways of every one he will reward them. Job 34:11
What other hath he appointed over the earth? or whom hath he set over the world which he made? Job 34:13
If he turn his heart to him, he shall draw his spirit and breath unto himself. Job 34:14
Can he be healed that loveth not judgment? and how dost thou so far condemn him that is just? Job 34:17
Who accepteth not the persons of princes: nor hath regarded the tyrant, when he contended against the poor man: for all are the work of his hands. Job 34:19
For his eyes are upon the ways of men, and he considereth all their steps. Job 34:21
He shall break in pieces many and innumerable, and shall make others to stand in their stead. Job 34:24
For he knoweth their works: and therefore he shall bring night on them, and they shall be destroyed. Job 34:25
He hath struck them, as being wicked, in open sight. Job 34:26
So that they caused the cry of the needy to come to him, and he heard the voice of the poor. Job 34:28
For when he granteth peace, who is there that can condemn? When he hideth his countenance, who is there that can behold him, whether it regard nations, or all men? Job 34:29
Because he addeth blasphemy upon his sins, let him be tied fast in the mean time amongst us: and then let him provoke God to judgment with his speeches. Job 34:37
And if thou do justly, what shalt thou give him, or what shall he receive of thy hand? Job 35:7
And he hath not said: Where is God, who made me, who hath given songs in the night? Job 35:10
There shall they cry, and he will not hear, because of the pride of evil men. Job 35:12
Yea, when thou shalt say: He considereth not: be judged before him, and expect him. Job 35:14
For he doth not now bring on his fury, neither doth he revenge wickedness exceedingly. Job 35:15
God doth not cast away the mighty, whereas he himself also is mighty. Job 36:5
But he saveth not the wicked, and he giveth judgment to the poor. Job 36:6
He will not take away his eyes from the just, and he placeth kings on the throne for ever, and they are exalted. Job 36:7
He shall shew them their works, and their wicked deeds, because they have been violent. Job 36:9
He also shall open their ear, to correct them: and shall speak, that they may return from iniquity. Job 36:10
He shall deliver the poor out of his distress, and shall open his ear in affliction. Job 36:15
Therefore he shall set thee at large out of the narrow mouth, and which hath no foundation under it: and the rest of thy table shall be full of fatness. Job 36:16
He lifteth up the drops of rain, and poureth out showers like floods: Job 36:27
If he will spread out clouds as his tent, Job 36:29
And lighten with his light from above, he shall cover also the ends of the sea. Job 36:30
For by these he judgeth people, and giveth food to many mortals. Job 36:31
In his hands he hideth the light, and commandeth it to come again. Job 36:32
He sheweth his friend concerning it, that it is his possession, and that he may come up to it. Job 36:33
He beholdeth under all the heavens, and his light is upon the ends of the earth. Job 37:3
After it a noise shall roar, he shall thunder with the voice of his majesty, and shall not be found out, when his voice shall be heard. Job 37:4
God shall thunder wonderfully with his voice, he that doth great and unsearchable things. Job 37:5
He commandeth the snow to go down upon the earth, and the winter rain, and the shower of his strength. Job 37:6
He sealeth up the hand of all men, that every one may know his works. Job 37:7
Which go round about, whithersoever the will of him that governeth them shall lead them, to whatsoever he shall command them upon the face of the whole earth: Job 37:12
Whether in one tribe, or in his own land, or in what place soever of his mercy he shall command them to be found. Job 37:13
Who shall tell him the things I speak? even if a man shall speak, he shall be swallowed up. Job 37:20
We cannot find him worthily: he is great in strength, and in judgment, and in justice, and he is ineffable. Job 37:23
He scorneth the multitude of the city, he heareth not the cry of the driver. Job 39:7
He looketh round about the mountains of his pasture, and seeketh for every green thing, Job 39:8
Shall the rhinoceros be willing to serve thee, or will he stay at thy crib? Job 39:9
Canst thou bind the rhinoceros with thy thong to plough, or will he break the clods of the valleys after thee? Job 39:10
Wilt thou trust him that he will render thee the seed, and gather it into thy barnfloor? Job 39:12
For God hath deprived her of wisdom, neither hath he given her understanding. Job 39:17
He breaketh up the earth with his hoof, he pranceth boldly, he goeth forward to meet armed men. Job 39:21
He despiseth fear, he turneth not his back to the sword. Job 39:22
Chasing and raging he swalloweth the ground, neither doth he make account when the noise of the trumpet soundeth. Job 39:24
When he heareth the trumpet he saith: Ha, ha: he smelleth the battle afar off, the encouraging of the captains, and the shouting of the army. Job 39:25
Shall he that contendeth with God be so easily silenced? surely he that reproveth God, ought to answer him. Job 40:2
Behold behemoth whom I made with thee, he eateth grass like an ox. Job 40:15
He setteth up his tail like a cedar, the sinews of his testicles are wrapped together. Job 40:17
He is the beginning of the ways of God, who made him, he will apply his sword. Job 40:19
He sleepeth under the shadow, in the covert of the reed, and in moist places. Job 40:21
Behold, he will drink up a river, and not wonder: and he trusteth that the Jordan may run into his mouth. Job 40:23
In his eyes as with a hook he shall take him, and bore through his nostrils with stakes. Job 40:24
Will he make many supplications to thee, or speak soft words to thee? Job 41:3
Will he make a covenant with thee, and wilt thou take him to be a servant for ever, Job 41:4
Behold his hope shall fail him, and in the sight of all he shall be cast down. Job 41:9
The members of his flesh cleave one to another: he shall send lightnings against him, and they shall not be carried to another place. Job 41:23
When he shall raise him up, the angels shall fear, and being affrighted shall purify themselves. Job 41:25
For he shall esteem iron as straw, and brass as rotten wood. Job 41:27
As stubble will he esteem the hammer, and he will laugh him to scorn who shaketh the spear. Job 41:29
The beams of the sun shall be under him, and he shall strew gold under him like mire. Job 41:30
He shall make the deep sea to boil like a pot, and shall make it as when ointments boil. Job 41:31

A man to whom God hath given riches, and substance, and honour, and his soul wanteth nothing of all that he desireth: yet God doth not give him power to eat thereof, but a stranger shall eat it up. This is vanity and a great misery. Eccl. 6:2
If a man beget a hundred children, and live many years, and attain to a great age, and his soul make no use of the goods of his substance, and he be without burial: of this man I pronounce, that the untimely born is better than he. Eccl. 6:3

Consider the works of God, that no man can correct whom he hath despised. Eccl. 7:13

But all things are kept uncertain for the time to come, because all things equally happen to the just and to the wicked, to the good and to the evil, to the clean and to the unclean, to him that offereth victims, and to him that despiseth sacrifices. As the good is, so also is the sinner: as the perjured, so he also that sweareth truth. Eccl. 9:2

And whereas Ecclesiastes was very wise, he taught the people, and declared the things that he had done: and seeking out, he set forth many parables. Eccl. 12:9

A bundle of myrrh is my beloved to me, he shall abide between my breasts. Cant. 1:13
He brought me into the cellar of wine, he set in order charity in me. Cant. 2:4
The voice of my beloved, behold he cometh leaping upon the mountains, skipping over the hills. Cant. 2:8

For God made not death, neither hath he pleasure in the destruction of the living. Wis. 1:13
For he created all things that they might be: and he made the nations of the earth for health: and there is no poison of destruction in them, nor kingdom of hell upon the earth. Wis. 1:14
Let us, therefore, lie in wait for the just, because he is not for our turn, and he is contrary to our doings, and upbraideth us with transgressions of the law, and divulgeth against us the sins of our way of life. Wis. 2:12
He boasteth that he hath the knowledge of God, and calleth himself the son of God. Wis. 2:13
He is become a censurer of our thoughts. Wis. 2:14
He is grievous unto us, even to behold: for his life is not like other men's, and his ways are very different. Wis. 2:15
We are esteemed by him as triflers, and he abstaineth from our ways as from filthiness, and he preferreth the latter end of the just, and glorieth that he hath God for his father. Wis. 2:16
For if he be the true son of God, he will defend him, and will deliver him from the hands of his enemies. Wis. 2:18
For God created man incorruptible, and to the image of his own likeness he made him. Wis. 2:23
As gold in the furnace, he hath proved them, and as a victim of a holocaust, he hath received them, and in time there shall be respect had to them. Wis. 3:6
For he that rejecteth wisdom, and discipline, is unhappy: and their hope is vain, and their labours without fruit, and their works unprofitable. Wis. 3:11
But the just man, if he be prevented with death, shall be in rest. Wis. 4:7
He pleased God, and was beloved, and living among sinners, he was translated. Wis. 4:10
He was taken away, lest wickedness should alter his understanding, or deceit beguile his soul. Wis. 4:11
Being made perfect in a short space, he fulfilled a long time. Wis. 4:13
For his soul pleased God: therefore he hastened to bring him out of the midst of iniquities: but the people see this, and understand not, nor lay up such things in their hearts: Wis. 4:14
That the grace of God, and his mercy is with his saints, and that he hath respect to his chosen. Wis. 4:15
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
Therefore shall they receive a kingdom of glory, and a crown of beauty at the hand of the Lord: for with his right hand he will cover them, and with his holy arm he will defend them. Wis. 5:17
And his zeal will take armour, and he will arm the creature for the revenge of his enemies. Wis. 5:18
He will put on justice as a breastplate, and will take true judgment instead of a helmet: Wis. 5:19
He will take equity for an invincible shield: Wis. 5:20
And he will sharpen his severe wrath for a spear, and the whole world shall fight with him against the unwise. Wis. 5:21
Horribly and speedily will he appear to you: for a most severe judgment shall be for them that bear rule. Wis. 6:6
For God will not except any man's person, neither will he stand in awe of any man's greatness: for he made the little and the great, and he hath equally care of all. Wis. 6:8
He that awaketh early to seek her, shall not labour: for he shall find her sitting at his door. Wis. 6:15
To think, therefore, upon her, is perfect understanding: and he that watcheth for her, shall quickly be secure. Wis. 6:16
And God hath given to me to speak as I would, and to conceive thoughts worthy of those things that are given me: because he is the guide of wisdom, and the director of the wise: Wis. 7:15
For he hath given me the true knowledge of the things that are: to know the disposition of the whole world, and the virtues of the elements, Wis. 7:17
And by thy wisdom hast appointed man, that he should have dominion over the creature that was made by thee, Wis. 9:2
That he should order the world according to equity and justice, and execute justice with an upright heart: Wis. 9:3
For if one be perfect among the children of men, yet if thy wisdom be not with him, he shall be nothing regarded. Wis. 9:6
For who among men is he that can know the counsel of God? or who can think what the will of God is? Wis. 9:13
¤ She preserved him, that was first formed by God, the father of the world, when he was created alone, Wis. 10:1
But when the unjust went away from her in his anger, he perished by the fury wherewith he murdered his brother. Wis. 10:3
She conducted the just, when he fled from his brother's wrath, through the right ways, and shewed him the kingdom of God, and gave him the knowledge of the holy things, made him honourable in his labours, and accomplished his labours. Wis. 10:10
She kept him safe from his enemies, and she defended him from seducers, and gave him a strong conflict, that he might overcome, and know that wisdom is mightier than all. Wis. 10:12
She forsook not the just when he was sold, but delivered him from sinners: she went down with him into the pit. Wis. 10:13
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
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
And taking what was left thereof, which is good for nothing, being a crooked piece of wood, and full of knots, carveth it diligently when he hath nothing else to do, and by the skill of his art fashioneth it, and maketh it like the image of a man: Wis. 13:13
And then maketh prayer to it, inquiring concerning his substance, and his children, or his marriage. And he is not ashamed to speak to that which hath no life: Wis. 13:17
And for health he maketh supplication to the weak, and for life prayeth to that which is dead, and for help calleth upon that which is unprofitable: Wis. 13:18
And for a good journey he petitioneth him that cannot walk: and for getting, and for working, and for the event of all things he asketh him that is unable to do any thing. Wis. 13:19
But the idol that is made by hands, is cursed, as well it, as he that made it: he because he made it; and it because being frail it is called a god. Wis. 14:8
For a father being afflicted with bitter grief, made to himself the image of his son, who was quickly taken away: and him who then had died as a man, he began now to worship as a god, and appointed him rites and sacrifices among his servants. Wis. 14:15
For he being willing to please him that employed him, laboured with all his art to make the resemblance in the best manner. Wis. 14:19
The sight whereof enticeth the fool to lust after it, and he loveth the lifeless figure of a dead image. Wis. 15:5
The potter also tempering soft earth, with labour fashioneth every vessel for our service, and of the same clay he maketh both vessels that are for clean uses, and likewise such as serve to the contrary: but what is the use of these vessels, the potter is the judge. Wis. 15:7
And of the same clay by a vain labour he maketh a god: he who a little before was made of earth himself, and a little after returneth to the same out of which he was taken, when his life, which was lent him, shall be called for again. Wis. 15:8
But his care is, not that he shall labour, nor that his life is short, but he striveth with the goldsmiths and silversmiths: and he endeavoureth to do like the workers in brass, and counteth it a glory to make vain things. Wis. 15:9
Forasmuch as he knew not his maker, and him that inspired into him the soul that worketh, and that breathed into him a living spirit. Wis. 15:11
For that man knoweth that he offendeth above all others, who of earthly matter maketh brittle vessels, and graven gods. Wis. 15:13
For man made them: and he that borroweth his own breath, fashioned them. For no man can make a god like to himself. Wis. 15:16
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
For he that turned to it, was not healed by that which he saw, but by thee, the Saviour of all. Wis. 16:7
And in this thou didst shew to our enemies, that thou art he who deliverest from all evil. Wis. 16:8
A man indeed killeth through malice, and when the spirit is gone forth, it shall not return, neither shall he call back the soul that is received: Wis. 16:14
Moreover, if any of them had fallen down, he was kept shut up in prison without irons. Wis. 17:15
For if any one were a husbandman, or a shepherd, or a labourer in the field, and was suddenly overtaken, he endured a necessity from which he could not fly. Wis. 17:16
With a sharp sword carrying thy unfeigned commandment, and he stood and filled all things with death, and standing on the earth, reached even to heaven. Wis. 18:16
For a blameless man made haste to pray for the people, bringing forth the shield of his ministry, prayer, and by incense making supplication, withstood the wrath, and put an end to the calamity, shewing that he was thy servant. Wis. 18:21
And he overcame the disturbance, not by strength of body nor with force of arms, but with a word he subdued him that punished them, alleging the oath and covenant made with the fathers. Wis. 18:22
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
For in the priestly robe which he wore, was the whole world: and in the four rows of the stones, the glory of the fathers was graven, and thy majesty was written upon the diadem of his head. Wis. 18:24
¤ 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
He created her in the Holy Ghost, and saw her, and numbered her, and measured her. Sir. 1:9
And he poured her out upon all his works, and upon all flesh according to his gift, and hath given her to them that love him. Sir. 1:10
With him that feareth the Lord, it shall go well in the latter end, and in the day of his death he shall be blessed. Sir. 1:13
It shall go well with him that feareth the Lord, and in the days of his end he shall be blessed. Sir. 1:19
For he that is without fear, cannot be justified: for the wrath of his high spirits is his ruin. Sir. 1:28
Is faith, and meekness: and he will fill up his treasures. Sir. 1:35
Believe God, and he will recover thee: and direct thy way, and trust in him. Keep his fear, and grow old therein. Sir. 2:6
For who hath continued in his commandment, and hath been forsaken? or who hath called upon him, and he despised him? Sir. 2:12
For God is compassionate and merciful, and will forgive sins in the day of tribulation: and he is a protector to all that seek him in truth. Sir. 2:13
He that loveth God, shall obtain pardon for his sins by prayer, and shall refrain himself from them, and shall be heard in the prayer of days. Sir. 3:4
And he that honoureth his mother is as one that layeth up a treasure. Sir. 3:5
He that honoureth his father shall have joy in his own children, and in the day of his prayer he shall be heard. Sir. 3:6
He that honoureth his father shall enjoy a long life: and he that obeyeth the father, shall be a comfort to his mother. Sir. 3:7
He that feareth the Lord, honoureth his parents, and will serve them as his masters that brought him into the world. Sir. 3:8
Of what an evil fame is he that forsaketh his father: and he is cursed of God that angereth his mother. Sir. 3:18
For great is the power of God alone, and he is honoured by the humble. Sir. 3:21
A hard heart shall fear evil at the last: and he that loveth danger shall perish in it. Sir. 3:27
And God provideth for him that sheweth favour: he remembereth him afterwards, and in the time of his fall he shall find a sure stay. Sir. 3:34
For the prayer of him that curseth thee in the bitterness of his soul, shall be heard, for he that made him will hear him. Sir. 4:6
And thou shalt be as the obedient son of the most High, and he will have mercy on thee more than a mother. Sir. 4:11
And he that loveth her, loveth life: and they that watch for her, shall embrace her sweetness. Sir. 4:13
He that hearkeneth to her, shall judge nations: and he that looketh upon her, shall remain secure. Sir. 4:16
If he trust to her, he shall inherit her, and his generation shall be in assurance. Sir. 4:17
But if he go astray, she will forsake him, and deliver him into the hands of his enemy. Sir. 4:22
And say not: The mercy of the Lord is great, he will have mercy on the multitude of my sins. Sir. 5:6
For his wrath shall come on a sudden, and in the time of vengeance he will destroy thee. Sir. 5:9
For there is a friend for his own occasion, and he will not abide in the day of thy trouble. Sir. 6:8
And there is a friend a companion at the table, and he will not abide in the day of distress. Sir. 6:10
A friend if he continue steadfast, shall be to thee as thyself, and shall act with confidence among them of thy household. Sir. 6:11
If he humble himself before thee, and hide himself from thy face, thou shalt have unanimous friendship for good. Sir. 6:12
A faithful friend is a strong defence: and he that hath found him, hath found a treasure. Sir. 6:14
He that feareth God, shall likewise have good friendship: because according to him shall his friend be. Sir. 6:17
Let thy thoughts be upon the precepts of God, and meditate continually on his commandments: and he will give thee a heart, and the desire of wisdom shall be given to thee. Sir. 6:37
Justify not thyself before God, for he knoweth the heart: and desire not to appear wise before the king. Sir. 7:5
Say not: God will have respect to the multitude of my gifts, and when I offer to the most high God, he will accept my offerings. Sir. 7:11
Contend not with a rich man, lest he bring an action against thee. Sir. 8:2
Communicate not with an ignorant man, lest he speak ill of thy family. Sir. 8:5
Stand not against the face of an injurious person, lest he sit as a spy to entrap thee in thy words. Sir. 8:14
Judge not against a judge: for he judgeth according to that which is just. Sir. 8:17
Go not on the way with a bold man, lest he burden thee with his evils: for he goeth according to his own will, and thou shalt perish together with his folly. Sir. 8:18
Quarrel not with a passionate man, and go not into the desert with a bold man: for blood is as nothing in his sight, and where there is no help he will overthrow thee. Sir. 8:19
Before a stranger do no matter of counsel: for thou knowest not what he will bring forth. Sir. 8:21
Open not thy heart to every man: lest he repay thee with an evil turn, and speak reproachfully to thee. Sir. 8:22
And if thou come to him, commit no fault, lest he take away thy life. Sir. 9:19
A man full of tongue is terrible in his city, and he that is rash in his word shall be hateful. Sir. 9:25
The power of the earth is in the hand of God, and in his time he will raise up a profitable ruler over it. Sir. 10:4
The prosperity of man is in the hand of God, and upon the person of the scribe he shall lay his honour. Sir. 10:5
There is not a more wicked thing than to love money: for such a one setteth even his own soul to sale: because while he liveth he hath cast away his bowels. Sir. 10:10
The physician cutteth off a short sickness: so also a king is to day, and to morrow he shall die. Sir. 10:12
For when a man shall die, he shall inherit serpents, and beasts, and worms. Sir. 10:13
Because his heart is departed from him that made him: for pride is the beginning of all sin: he that holdeth it, shall be filled with maledictions, and it shall ruin him in the end. Sir. 10:15
He hath made some of them to wither away, and hath destroyed them, and hath made the memory of them to cease from the earth. Sir. 10:20
The great man, and the judge, and the mighty is in honour: and there is none greater than he that feareth God. Sir. 10:27
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
Better is he that laboureth, and aboundeth in all things, than he that boasteth himself and wanteth bread. Sir. 10:30
But he that is glorified in poverty, how much more in wealth? and he that is glorified in wealth, let him fear poverty. Sir. 10:34
Many tyrants have sat on the throne, and he whom no man would think on, hath worn the crown. Sir. 11:5
In that he saith: I have found me rest, and now I will eat of my goods alone: Sir. 11:19
And he knoweth not what time shall pass, and that death approacheth, and that he must leave all to others, and shall die. Sir. 11:20
For he lieth in wait and turneth good into evil, and on the elect he will lay a blot. Sir. 11:33
Take heed to thyself of a mischievous man, for he worketh evils: lest he bring upon thee reproach for ever. Sir. 11:35
Receive a stranger in, and he shall overthrow thee with a whirlwind, and shall turn thee out of thy own. Sir. 11:36
Do good to the humble, and give not to the ungodly: hold back thy bread, and give it not to him, lest thereby he overmaster thee. Sir. 12:6
Though he humble himself and go crouching, yet take good heed and beware of him. Sir. 12:11
Set him not by thee, neither let him sit on thy right hand, lest he turn into thy place, and seek to take thy seat and at the last thou acknowledge my words, and be pricked with my sayings. Sir. 12:12
For an hour he will abide with thee: but if thou begin to decline, he will not endure it. Sir. 12:14
An enemy speaketh sweetly with his lips, but in his heart he lieth in wait, to throw thee into a pit. Sir. 12:15
An enemy weepeth with his eyes: but if he find an opportunity he will not be satisfied with blood: Sir. 12:16
An enemy hath tears in his eyes, and while he pretendeth to help thee, will undermine thy feet. Sir. 12:18
He will shake his head, and clap his hands, and whisper much, and change his countenance. Sir. 12:19
¤ He that toucheth pitch, shall be defiled with it: and he that hath fellowship with the proud, shall put on pride. Sir. 13:1
He shall take a burden upon him that hath fellowship with one more honourable than himself. And have no fellowship with one that is richer than thyself. Sir. 13:2
The rich man hath done wrong, and yet he will fume: but the poor is wronged and must hold his peace. Sir. 13:4
If thou give, he will make use of thee: and if thou have nothing, he will forsake thee. Sir. 13:5
If thou have any thing, he will live with thee, and will make thee bare, and he will not be sorry for thee. Sir. 13:6
If he have need of thee he will deceive thee, and smiling upon thee will put thee in hope; he will speak thee fair, and will say: What wantest thou? Sir. 13:7
And he will shame thee by his meats, till he have drawn thee dry twice or thrice, and at last he will laugh at thee: and afterward when he seeth thee, he will forsake thee, and shake his head at thee. Sir. 13:8
If thou be invited by one that is mightier, withdraw thyself: for so he will invite thee the more. Sir. 13:12
Affect not to speak with him as an equal, and believe not his many words: for by much talk he will sift thee, and smiling will examine thee concerning thy secrets. Sir. 13:14
His cruel mind will lay up thy words: and he will not spare to do thee hurt, and to cast thee into prison. Sir. 13:15
When a rich man is shaken, he is kept up by his friends: but when a poor man is fallen down, he is thrust away even by his acquaintance. Sir. 13:25
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 poor man was deceived, and he is rebuked also: he hath spoken wisely, and could have no place. Sir. 13:27
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
Happy is he that hath had no sadness of his mind, and who is not fallen from his hope. Sir. 14:2
He that gathereth together by wronging his own soul, gathereth for others, and another will squander away his goods in rioting. Sir. 14:4
He that is evil to himself, to whom will he be good? and he shall not take pleasure in his goods. Sir. 14:5
There is none worse than he that envieth himself, and this is the reward of his wickedness: Sir. 14:6
And if he do good, he doth it ignorantly, and unwillingly: and at the last he discovereth his wickedness. Sir. 14:7
The eye of the envious is wicked: and he turneth away his face, and despiseth his own soul. Sir. 14:8
The eye of the covetous man is insatiable in his portion of iniquity: he will not be satisfied till he consume his own soul, drying it up. Sir. 14:9
An evil eye is towards evil things: and he shall not have his fill of bread, but shall be needy and pensive at his own table. Sir. 14:10
He that considereth her ways in his heart, and hath understanding in her secrets, who goeth after her as one that traceth, and stayeth in her ways. Sir. 14:23
He who looketh in at her windows, and hearkeneth at her door. Sir. 14:24
He that lodgeth near her house, and fastening a pin in her walls shall set up his tent nigh unto her, where good things shall rest in his lodging for ever. Sir. 14:25
He shall set his children under her shelter, and shall lodge under her branches: Sir. 14:26
He shall be protected under her covering from the heat, and shall rest in her glory. Sir. 14:27
¤ He that feareth God, will do good: and he that possesseth justice, shall lay hold on her, Sir. 15:1
With the bread of life and understanding, she shall feed him, and give him the water of wholesome wisdom to drink: and she shall be made strong in him, and he shall not be moved. Sir. 15:3
And she shall hold him fast, and he shall not be confounded: and she shall exalt him among his neighbours. Sir. 15:4
Say not: It is through God, that she is not with me: for do not thou the things that he hateth. Sir. 15:11
Say not: He hath caused me to err: for he hath no need of wicked men. Sir. 15:12
He added his commandments and precepts. Sir. 15:15
He hath set water and fire before thee: stretch forth thy hand to which thou wilt. Sir. 15:17
Before man is life and death, good and evil, that which he shall choose shall be given him: Sir. 15:18
For the wisdom of God is great, and he is strong in power, seeing all men without ceasing. Sir. 15:19
The eyes of the Lord are towards them that fear him, and he knoweth all the work of man. Sir. 15:20
He hath commanded no man to do wickedly, and he hath given no man license to sin; Sir. 15:21
For he desireth not a multitude of faithless and unprofitable children. Sir. 15:22
And he spared not the place where Lot sojourned, but abhorred them for the pride of their word. Sir. 16:9
He had not pity on them, destroying the whole nation that extolled themselves in their sins. Sir. 16:10
So did he with the six hundred thousand footmen, who were gathered together in the hardness of their heart: and if one had been stiffnecked, it is a wonder if he had escaped unpunished: Sir. 16:11
For mercy and wrath are with him. He is mighty to forgive, and to pour out indignation: Sir. 16:12
He that wanteth understanding thinketh vain things, and the foolish, and erring man, thinketh foolish things. Sir. 16:23
The works of God are done in judgment from the beginning, and from the making of them he distinguished their parts, and their beginnings in their generations. Sir. 16:26
He beautified their works for ever, they have neither hungered, nor laboured, and they have not ceased from their works. Sir. 16:27
And he turned him into it again, and clothed him with strength according to himself. Sir. 17:2
He gave him the number of his days and time, and gave him power over all things that are upon the earth. Sir. 17:3
He put the fear of him upon all flesh, and he had dominion over beasts and fowls. Sir. 17:4
He created of him a helpmate like to himself, he gave them counsel, and a tongue, and eyes, and ears, and a heart to devise: and he filled them with the knowledge of understanding. Sir. 17:5
He created in them the science of the spirit, he filled their heart with wisdom, and shewed them both good and evil. Sir. 17:6
He set his eye upon their hearts to shew them the greatness of his works: Sir. 17:7
That they might praise the name which he hath sanctified: and glory in his wondrous acts that they might declare the glorious things of his works. Sir. 17:8
Moreover he gave them instructions, and the law of life for an inheritance. Sir. 17:9
He made an everlasting covenant with them, and he shewed them his justice and judgments. Sir. 17:10
And their eye saw the majesty of his glory, and their ears heard his glorious voice, and he said to them: Beware of all iniquity. Sir. 17:11
And he gave to every one of them commandment concerning his neighbour. Sir. 17:12
Over every nation he set a ruler. Sir. 17:14
And afterward he shall rise up, and shall render them their reward, to every one upon their own head, and shall turn them down into the bowels of the earth. Sir. 17:19
But to the penitent he hath given the way of justice, and he hath strengthened them that were fainting in patience, and hath appointed to them the lot of truth. Sir. 17:20
He beholdeth the power of the height of heaven: and all men are earth and ashes. Sir. 17:31
¤ He that liveth for ever created all things together. God only shall be justified, and he remaineth an invincible king for ever. Sir. 18:1
When a man hath done, then shall he begin: and when he leaveth off, he shall be at a loss. Sir. 18:6
He hath seen the presumption of their heart that it is wicked, and hath known their end that it is evil. Sir. 18:10
Therefore hath he filled up his mercy in their favour, and hath shewn them the way of justice. Sir. 18:11
He hath mercy, and teacheth, and correcteth, as a shepherd doth his flock. Sir. 18:13
He hath mercy on him that receiveth the discipline of mercy, and that maketh haste in his judgments. Sir. 18:14
Remember the wrath that shall be at the last day, and the time of repaying when he shall turn away his face. Sir. 18:24
¤ A workman that is a drunkard shall not be rich: and he that contemneth small things, shall fall by little and little. Sir. 19:1
And he that joineth himself to harlots, will be wicked. Rottenness and worms shall inherit him, and he shall be lifted up for a greater example, and his soul shall be taken away out of the number. Sir. 19:3
He that is hasty to give credit, is light of heart, and shall be lessened: and he that sinneth against his own soul, shall be despised. Sir. 19:4
He that rejoiceth in iniquity, shall be censured, and he that hateth chastisement, shall have less life: and he that hateth babbling, extinguisheth evil. Sir. 19:5
He that sinneth against his own soul, shall repent: and he that is delighted with wickedness, shall be condemned. Sir. 19:6
For he will hearken to thee, and will watch thee, and as it were defending thy sin he will hate thee, and so will he be with thee always. Sir. 19:9
Reprove a friend, lest he may not have understood, and say: I did it not: or if he did it, that he may do it no more. Sir. 19:13
Reprove thy neighbour, for it may be he hath not said it: and if he hath said it, that he may not say it again. Sir. 19:14
Better is a man that hath less wisdom, and wanteth understanding, with the fear of God, than he that aboundeth in understanding, and transgresseth the law of the most High. Sir. 19:21
And there is one that submitteth himself exceedingly with a great lowliness: and there is one that casteth down his countenance, and maketh as if he did not see that which is unknown: Sir. 19:24
And if he be hindered from sinning for want of power, if he shall find opportunity to do evil, he will do it. Sir. 19:25
The attire of the body, and the laughter of the teeth, and the gait of the man, shew what he is. Sir. 19:27
There is a lying rebuke in the anger of an injurious man: and there is a judgment that is not allowed to be good: and there is one that holdeth his peace, he is wise. Sir. 19:28
So is he that by violence executeth of the unwise. Sir. 20:3
There is one that holdeth his peace, because he knoweth not what to say: and there is another that holdeth his peace, knowing the proper time. Sir. 20:6
A wise man will hold his peace till he see opportunity: but a babbler, and a fool, will regard no time. Sir. 20:7
He that useth many words shall hurt his own soul: and he that taketh authority to himself unjustly shall be hated. Sir. 20:8
He will give a few things, and upbraid much: and the opening of his mouth is the kindling of a fire. Sir. 20:15
To day a man lendeth, and to morrow he asketh it again: such a man as this is hateful. Sir. 20:16
For he doth not distribute with right understanding that which was to be had: in like manner also that which was not to be had. Sir. 20:19
A parable coming out of a fool's mouth shall be rejected: for he doth not speak it in due season. Sir. 20:22
There is that is hindered from sinning through want, and in his rest he shall be pricked. Sir. 20:23
There is that will destroy his own soul through shamefacedness, and by occasion of an unwise person he will destroy it: and by respect of person he will destroy himself. Sir. 20:24
He that tilleth his land shall make a high heap of corn: and he that worketh justice shall be exalted: and he that pleaseth great men shall escape iniquity. Sir. 20:30
Better is he that hideth his folly, than the man that hideth his wisdom. Sir. 20:33
He that hateth to be reproved walketh in the trace of a sinner: and he that feareth God will turn to his own heart. Sir. 21:7
He that is mighty by a bold tongue is known afar off, but a wise man knoweth to slip by him. Sir. 21:8
He that buildeth his house at other men's charges, is as he that gathereth himself stones to build in the winter. Sir. 21:9
He that keepeth justice shall get the understanding thereof. Sir. 21:12
He that is not wise in good, will not be taught. Sir. 21:14
A man of sense will praise every wise word he shall hear, and will apply it to himself: the luxurious man hath heard it, and it shall displease him, and he will cast it behind his back. Sir. 21:18
A fool will peep through the window into the house: but he that is well taught will stand without. Sir. 21:26
While the ungodly curseth the devil, he curseth his own soul. Sir. 21:30
The talebearer shall defile his own soul, and shall be hated by all: and he that shall abide with him shall be hateful: the silent and wise man shall be honoured. Sir. 21:31
He that teacheth a fool, is like one that glueth a potsherd together. Sir. 22:7
He that telleth a word to him that heareth not, is like one that waketh a man out of a deep sleep. Sir. 22:8
He speaketh with one that is asleep, who uttereth wisdom to a fool: and in the end of the discourse he saith: Who is this? Sir. 22:9
Weep but a little for the dead, for he is at rest. Sir. 22:11
What is heavier than lead? and what other name hath he but fool? Sir. 22:17
As a fearful heart in the thought of a fool at all times will not fear, so neither shall he that continueth always in the commandments of God. Sir. 22:23
He that pricketh the eye, bringeth out tears: and he that pricketh the heart, bringeth forth resentment. Sir. 22:24
He that flingeth a stone at birds, shall drive them away: so he that upbraideth his friend, breaketh friendship. Sir. 22:25
Hear, O ye children, the discipline of the mouth, and he that will keep it shall not perish by his lips, nor be brought to fall into most wicked works. Sir. 23:7
And if he make it void, his sin shall be upon him, and if he dissemble it, he offendeth double: Sir. 23:13
And if he swear in vain, he shall not be justified: for his house shall be filled with his punishment. Sir. 23:14
And a man that is wicked in the mouth of his flesh, will not leave off till he hath kindled a fire. Sir. 23:23
To a man that is a fornicator all bread is sweet, he will not be weary of sinning unto the end. Sir. 23:24
And he understandeth not that his eye seeth all things, for such a man's fear driveth from him the fear of God, and the eyes of men fearing him: Sir. 23:27
And he knoweth not that the eyes of the Lord are far brighter than the sun, beholding round about all the ways of men, and the bottom of the deep, and looking into the hearts of men, into the most hidden parts. Sir. 23:28
For all things were known to the Lord God, before they were created: so also after they were perfected he beholdeth all things. Sir. 23:29
This man shall be punished in the streets of the city, and he shall be chased as a colt: and where he suspected not, he shall be taken. Sir. 23:30
And he shall be in disgrace with all men, because he understood not the fear of the Lord. Sir. 23:31
Then the creator of all things commanded, and said to me: and he that made me, rested in my tabernacle, Sir. 24:12
And he said to me: Let thy dwelling be in Jacob, and thy inheritance in Israel, and take root in my elect. Sir. 24:13
He that hearkeneth to me, shall not be confounded: and they that work by me, shall not sin. Sir. 24:30
He appointed to David his servant to raise up of him a most mighty king, and sitting on the throne of glory for ever. Sir. 24:34
A man that hath joy of his children: and he that liveth and seeth the fall of his enemies. Sir. 25:10
Blessed is he that dwelleth with a wise woman, and that hath not slipped with his tongue, and that hath not served such as are unworthy of him. Sir. 25:11
Blessed is he that findeth a true friend, and that declareth justice to an ear that heareth. Sir. 25:12
How great is he that findeth wisdom and knowledge! but there is none above him that feareth the Lord. Sir. 25:13
Blessed is the man, to whom it is given to have the fear of God: he that holdeth it, to whom shall he be likened? Sir. 25:15
Her husband groaned, and hearing he sighed a little. Sir. 25:25
As a yoke of oxen that is moved to and fro, so also is a wicked woman: he that hath hold of her, is as he that taketh hold of a scorpion. Sir. 26:10
And he that passeth over from justice to sin, God hath prepared such an one for the sword. Sir. 26:27
¤ Through poverty many have sinned: and he that seeketh to be enriched, turneth away his eye. Sir. 27:1
Praise not a man before he speaketh, for this is the trial of men. Sir. 27:8
He that discloseth the secret of a friend loseth his credit, and shall never find a friend to his mind. Sir. 27:17
For as a man that destroyeth his friend, so also is he that destroyeth the friendship of his neighbour. Sir. 27:20
Follow after him no more, for he is gone afar off, he is fled, as a roe escaped out of the snare because his soul is wounded. Sir. 27:22
He that winketh with the eye forgeth wicked things, and no man will cast him off: Sir. 27:25
In the sight of thy eyes he will sweeten his mouth, and will admire thy words: but at the last he will writhe his mouth, and on thy words he will lay a stumblingblock. Sir. 27:26
He that diggeth a pit, shall fall into it: and he that setteth a stone for his neighbour, shall stumble upon it: and he that layeth a snare for another, shall perish in it. Sir. 27:29
A mischievous counsel shall be rolled back upon the author, and he shall not know from whence it cometh to him. Sir. 27:30
¤ He that seeketh to revenge himself, shall find vengeance from the Lord, and he will surely keep his sins in remembrance. Sir. 28:1
Forgive thy neighbour if he hath hurt thee: and then shall thy sins be forgiven to thee when thou prayest. Sir. 28:2
Man to man reserveth anger, and doth he seek remedy of God? Sir. 28:3
He hath no mercy on a man like himself, and doth he entreat for his own sins? Sir. 28:4
He that is but flesh, nourisheth anger, and doth he ask forgiveness of God? who shall obtain pardon for his sins? Sir. 28:5
For as the wood of the forest is, so the fire burneth, and as a man's strength is, so shall his anger be, and according to his riches he shall increase his anger. Sir. 28:12
The whisperer and the double tongued is accursed: for he hath troubled many that were at peace. Sir. 28:15
He that hearkeneth to it, shall never have rest, neither shall he have a friend in whom he may repose. Sir. 28:20
Blessed is he that is defended from a wicked tongue, that hath not passed into the wrath thereof, and that hath not drawn the yoke thereof, and hath not been bound in its bands. Sir. 28:23
¤ He that sheweth mercy, lendeth to his neighbour: and he that is stronger in hand, keepeth the commandments. Sir. 29:1
And if he be able to pay, he will stand off, he will scarce pay one half, and will count it as if he had found it: Sir. 29:7
But if not, he will defraud him of his money, and he shall get him for an enemy without cause. Sir. 29:8
And he will pay him with reproaches and curses, and instead of honour and good turn will repay him injuries. Sir. 29:9
A good man is surety for his neighbour: and he that hath lost shame, will leave him to himself. Sir. 29:18
Forget not the kindness of thy surety: for he hath given his life for thee. Sir. 29:19
A sinner attributeth to himself the goods of his surety: and he that is of an unthankful mind will leave him that delivered him. Sir. 29:21
A man is surety for his neighbour: and when he hath lost all shame, he shall forsake him. Sir. 29:22
A sinner that transgresseth the commandment of the Lord, shall fall into an evil suretyship: and he that undertaketh many things, shall fall into judgment. Sir. 29:25
It is a miserable life to go as a guest from house to house: for where a man is a stranger, he shall not deal confidently, nor open his mouth. Sir. 29:30
He shall entertain and feed, and give drink to the unthankful, and moreover he shall hear bitter words. Sir. 29:31
¤ He that loveth his son, frequently chastiseth him, that he may rejoice in his latter end, and not grope after the doors of his neighbours. Sir. 30:1
He that instructeth his son shall be praised in him, and shall glory in him in the midst of them of his household. Sir. 30:2
He that teacheth his son, maketh his enemy jealous, and in the midst of his friends he shall glory in him. Sir. 30:3
His father is dead, and he is as if he were not dead: for he hath left one behind him that is like himself. Sir. 30:4
While he lived he saw and rejoiced in him: and when he died he was not sorrowful, neither was he confounded before his enemies. Sir. 30:5
For he left behind him a defender of his house against his enemies, and one that will requite kindness to his friends. Sir. 30:6
For the souls of his sons he shall bind up his wounds, and at every cry his bowels shall be troubled. Sir. 30:7
Give thy son his way, and he shall make thee afraid: play with him, and he shall make thee sorrowful. Sir. 30:9
Bow down his neck while he is young, and beat his sides while he is a child, lest he grow stubborn, and regard thee not, and so be a sorrow of heart to thee. Sir. 30:12
So is he that is persecuted by the Lord, bearing the reward of his iniquity: Sir. 30:20
He seeth with his eyes, and groaneth, as an eunuch embracing a virgin, and sighing. Sir. 30:21
The rich man hath laboured in gathering riches together, and when he resteth he shall be filled with his goods. Sir. 31:3
The poor man hath laboured in his low way of life, and in the end he is still poor. Sir. 31:4
He that loveth gold, shall not be justified: and he that followeth after corruption, shall be filled with it. Sir. 31:5
Who is he, and we will praise him? for he hath done wonderful things in his life. Sir. 31:9
Who hath been tried thereby, and made perfect, he shall have glory everlasting. He that could have transgressed, and hath not transgressed: and could do evil things, and hath not done them: Sir. 31:10
Sound and wholesome sleep with a moderate man: he shall sleep till morning, and his soul shall be delighted with him. Sir. 31:24
He that feareth the Lord, will receive his discipline: and they that will seek him early, shall find a blessing. Sir. 32:18
He that seeketh the law, shall be filled with it: and he that dealeth deceitfully, shall meet with a stumblingblock therein. Sir. 32:19
Even after he hath done with fear without counsel, he shall be controlled by the things of his own seeking. Sir. 32:23
He that believeth God, taketh heed to the commandments: and he that trusteth in him, shall fare never the worse. Sir. 32:28
A wise man hateth not the commandments and justices, and he shall not be dashed in pieces as a ship in a storm. Sir. 33:2
He that cleareth up a question, shall prepare what to say, and so having prayed he shall be heard, and shall keep discipline, and then he shall answer. Sir. 33:4
A friend that is a mocker, is like a stallion horse: he neigheth under every one that sitteth upon him. Sir. 33:6
And he ordered the seasons, and holidays of them, and in them they celebrated festivals at an hour. Sir. 33:9
Some of them God made high and great days, and some of them he put in the number of ordinary days. And all men are from the ground, and out of the earth, from whence Adam was created. Sir. 33:10
Some of them hath he blessed, and exalted: and some of them hath he sanctified, and set near himself: and some of them hath he cursed and brought low, and turned them from their station. Sir. 33:12
All his ways are according to his ordering: so man is in the hand of him that made him, and he will render to him according to his judgment. Sir. 33:14
He worketh under correction, and seeketh to rest: let his hands be idle, and he seeketh liberty. Sir. 33:26
Torture and fetters are for a malicious slave: send him to work, that he be not idle: Sir. 33:28
Set him to work: for so it is fit for him. And if he be not obedient, bring him down with fetters, but be not excessive towards any one, and do no grievous thing without judgment. Sir. 33:30
If thou hurt him unjustly, he will run away: Sir. 33:32
And if he rise up and depart, thou knowest not whom to ask, and in what way to seek him. Sir. 33:33
What doth he know, that hath not been tried? A man that hath much experience, shall think of many things: and he that hath learned many things, shall shew forth understanding. Sir. 34:9
He that hath no experience, knoweth little: and he that hath been experienced in many things, multiplieth prudence. Sir. 34:10
He that hath not been tried, what manner of things doth he know? he that hath been surprised, shall abound with subtlety. Sir. 34:11
He that feareth the Lord shall tremble at nothing, and shall not be afraid: for he is his hope. Sir. 34:16
To whom doth he look, and who is his strength? Sir. 34:18
The eyes of the Lord are upon them that fear him, he is their powerful protector, and strong stay, a defence from the heat, and a cover from the sun at noon, Sir. 34:19
A preservation from stumbling, and a help from falling: he raiseth up the soul, and enlighteneth the eyes, and giveth health, and life, and blessing. Sir. 34:20
The most High approveth not the gifts of the wicked: neither hath he respect to the oblations of the unjust, nor will he be pacified for sins by the multitude of their sacrifices. Sir. 34:23
He that offereth sacrifice of the goods of the poor, is as one that sacrificeth the son in the presence of his father. Sir. 34:24
The bread of the needy, is the life of the poor: he that defraudeth them thereof, is a man of blood. Sir. 34:25
He that taketh away the bread gotten by sweat, is like him that killeth his neighbour. Sir. 34:26
He that sheddeth blood, and he that defraudeth the laborer of his hire, are brothers. Sir. 34:27
He that washeth himself after touching the dead, if he toucheth him again, what doth his washing avail? Sir. 34:30
¤ He that keepeth the law, multiplieth offerings. Sir. 35:1
He shall return thanks, that offereth fine flour: and he that doth mercy, offereth sacrifice. Sir. 35:4
Give to the most High according to what he hath given to thee, and with a good eye do according to the ability of thy hands: Sir. 35:12
Do not offer wicked gifts, for such he will not receive. Sir. 35:14
The Lord will not accept any person against a poor man, and he will hear the prayer of him that is wronged. Sir. 35:16
He will not despise the prayers of the fatherless: nor the widow, when she poureth out her complaint. Sir. 35:17
He that adoreth God with joy, shall be accepted, and his prayer shall approach even to the clouds. Sir. 35:20
The prayer of him that humbleth himself, shall pierce the clouds: and till it come nigh he will not be comforted: and he will not depart till the most High behold. Sir. 35:21
And the Lord will not be slack, but will judge for the just, and will do judgment: and the Almighty will not have patience with them, that he may crush their back: Sir. 35:22
And he will repay vengeance to the Gentiles, till he have taken away the multitude of the proud, and broken the sceptres of the unjust, Sir. 35:23
Till he have rendered to men according to their deeds: and according to the works of Adam, and according to his presumption, Sir. 35:24
Till he have judged the cause of his people, and he shall delight the just with his mercy. Sir. 35:25
He that possesseth a good wife, beginneth a possession: she is a help like to himself, and a pillar of rest. Sir. 36:26
Where there is no hedge, the possession shall be spoiled: and where there is no wife, he mourneth that is in want. Sir. 36:27
There is a companion who rejoiceth with his friend in his joys, but in the time of trouble, he will be against him. Sir. 37:4
There is a companion who condoleth with his friend for his belly's sake, and he will take up a shield against the enemy. Sir. 37:5
Beware of a counsellor. And know before what need he hath: for he will devise to his own mind: Sir. 37:9
Lest he thrust a stake into the ground, and say to thee: Sir. 37:10
But above all these things pray to the most High, that he may direct thy way in truth. Sir. 37:19
He that speaketh sophistically, is hateful: he shall be destitute of every thing. Sir. 37:23
Grace is not given him from the Lord: for he is deprived of all wisdom. Sir. 37:24
By surfeiting many have perished, but he that is temperate, shall prolong life. Sir. 37:34
For all healing is from God, and he shall receive gifts of the king. Sir. 38:2
The skill of the physician shall lift up his head, and in the sight of great men he shall be praised. Sir. 38:3
The virtue of these things is come to the knowledge of men, and the most High hath given knowledge to men, that he may be honoured in his wonders. Sir. 38:6
By these he shall cure and shall allay their pains, and of these the apothecary shall make sweet confections, and shall make up ointments of health, and of his works there shall be no end. Sir. 38:7
My son, in thy sickness neglect not thyself, but pray to the Lord, and he shall heal thee. Sir. 38:9
And they shall beseech the Lord, that he would prosper what they give for ease and remedy, for their conversation. Sir. 38:14
He that sinneth in the sight of his Maker, shall fall into the hands of the physician. Sir. 38:15
The wisdom of a scribe cometh by his time of leisure: and he that is less in action, shall receive wisdom. Sir. 38:25
With what wisdom shall he be furnished that holdeth the plough, and that glorieth in the goad, that driveth the oxen therewith, and is occupied in their labours, and his whole talk is about the offspring of bulls? Sir. 38:26
He shall give his mind to turn up furrows, and his care is to give the kine fodder. Sir. 38:27
So every craftsman and workmaster that laboureth night and day, he who maketh graven seals, and by his continual diligence varieth the figure: he shall give his mind to the resemblance of the picture, and by his watching shall finish the work. Sir. 38:28
So doth the smith sitting by the anvil and considering the iron work. The vapour of the fire wasteth his flesh, and he fighteth with the heat of the furnace. Sir. 38:29
The noise of the hammer is always in his ears, and his eye is upon the pattern of the vessel he maketh. Sir. 38:30
He setteth his mind to finish his work, and his watching to polish them to perfection. Sir. 38:31
He fashioneth the clay with his arm, and boweth down his strength before his feet: Sir. 38:33
He shall give his mind to finish the glazing, and his watching to make clean the furnace. Sir. 38:34
He will keep the sayings of renowned men, and will enter withal into the subtilties of parables. Sir. 39:2
He will search out the hidden meanings of proverbs, and will be conversant in the secrets of parables. Sir. 39:3
He shall serve among great men, and appear before the governor. Sir. 39:4
He shall pass into strange countries: for he shall try good and evil among men. Sir. 39:5
He will give his heart to resort early to the Lord that made him, and he will pray in the sight of the most High. Sir. 39:6
He will open his mouth in prayer, and will make supplication for his sins. Sir. 39:7
For if it shall please the great Lord, he will fill him with the spirit of understanding: Sir. 39:8
And he will pour forth the words of his wisdom as showers, and in his prayer he will confess to the Lord. Sir. 39:9
And he shall direct his counsel, and his knowledge, and in his secrets shall he meditate. Sir. 39:10
He shall shew forth the discipline he hath learned, and shall glory in the law of the covenant of the Lord. Sir. 39:11
If he continue, he shall leave a name above a thousand: and if he rest, it shall be to his advantage. Sir. 39:15
By a voice he saith: Hear me, ye divine offspring, and bud forth as the rose planted by the brooks of waters. Sir. 39:17
He seeth from eternity to eternity, and there is nothing wonderful before him. Sir. 39:25
Even as he turned the waters into a dry land, and the earth was made dry: and his ways were made plain for their journey: so to sinners they are stumblingblocks in his wrath. Sir. 39:29
All the works of the Lord are good, and he will furnish every work in due time. Sir. 39:39
He is troubled in the vision of his heart, as if he had escaped in the day of battle. In the time of his safety he rose up, and wondereth that there is no fear. Sir. 40:7
While he openeth his hands he shall rejoice: but transgressors shall pine away in the end. Sir. 40:14
The life of a laborer that is content with what he hath, shall be sweet, and in it thou shalt find a treasure. Sir. 40:18
The life of him that looketh toward another man's table is not to be counted a life: for he feedeth his soul with another man's meat. Sir. 40:30
He hath searched out the deep, and the heart of men: and considered their crafty devices. Sir. 42:18
For the Lord knoweth all knowledge, and hath beheld the signs of the world, he declareth the things that are past, and the things that are to come, and revealeth the traces of hidden things. Sir. 42:19
He hath beautified the glorious works of his wisdom: and he is from eternity to eternity, and to him nothing may be added, Sir. 42:21
Nor can he be diminished, and he hath no need of any counsellor. Sir. 42:22
All things are double, one against another, and he hath made nothing defective. Sir. 42:25
He hath established the good things of every one. And who shall be filled with beholding his glory? Sir. 42:26
The sun when he appeareth shewing forth at his rising, an admirable instrument, the work of the most High. Sir. 43:2
At noon he burneth the earth, and who can abide his burning heat? As one keeping a furnace in the works of heat: Sir. 43:3
The sun three times as much, burneth the mountains, breathing out fiery vapours, and shining with his beams, he blindeth the eyes. Sir. 43:4
Great is the Lord that made him, and at his words he hath hastened his course. Sir. 43:5
By his commandment he maketh the snow to fall apace, and sendeth forth swiftly the lightnings of his judgment. Sir. 43:14
By his greatness he hath fixed the clouds, and the hailstones are broken. Sir. 43:16
And as the birds lighting upon the earth, he scattereth snow, and the falling thereof, is as the coming down of locusts. Sir. 43:19
He shall pour frost as salt upon the earth: and when it freezeth, it shall become like the tops of thistles. Sir. 43:21
At his word the wind is still, and with his thought he appeaseth the deep, and the Lord hath planted islands therein. Sir. 43:25
We shall say much, and yet shall want words: but the sum of our words is, He is all. Sir. 43:29
Glorify the Lord as much as ever you can, for he will yet far exceed, and his magnificence is wonderful. Sir. 43:32
Blessing the Lord, exalt him as much as you can; for he is above all praise. Sir. 43:33
Who shall see him, and declare him? and who shall magnify him as he is from the beginning? Sir. 43:35
But the Lord hath made all things, and to the godly he hath given wisdom. Sir. 43:37
Henoch pleased God, and was translated into paradise, that he may give repentance to the nations. Sir. 44:16
Noe was found perfect, just, and in the time of wrath he was made a reconciliation. Sir. 44:17
In his flesh he established the covenant, and in temptation he was found faithful. Sir. 44:21
Therefore by an oath he gave him glory in his posterity, that he should increase as the dust of the earth, Sir. 44:22
And that he would exalt his seed as the stars, and they should inherit from sea to sea, and from the river to the ends of the earth. Sir. 44:23
And he did in like manner with Isaac for the sake of Abraham his father. Sir. 44:24
He acknowledged him in his blessings, and gave him an inheritance, and divided him his portion in twelve tribes. Sir. 44:26
And he preserved for him men of mercy, that found grace in the eyes of all flesh. Sir. 44:27
He made him like the saints in glory, and magnified him in the fear of his enemies, and with his words he made prodigies to cease. Sir. 45:2
He glorified him in the sight of kings, and gave him commandments in the sight of his people, and shewed him his glory. Sir. 45:3
He sanctified him in his faith, and meekness, and chose him out of all flesh. Sir. 45:4
For he heard him, and his voice, and brought him into a cloud. Sir. 45:5
And he gave him commandments before his face, and a law of life and instruction, that he might teach Jacob his covenant, and Israel his judgments. Sir. 45:6
He exalted Aaron his brother, and like to himself of the tribe of Levi: Sir. 45:7
He made an everlasting covenant with him, and gave him the priesthood of the nation, and made him blessed in glory, Sir. 45:8
And he girded him about with a glorious girdle, and clothed him with a robe of glory, and crowned him with majestic attire. Sir. 45:9
He put upon him a garment to the feet, and breeches, and an ephod, and he compassed him with many little bells of gold all round about, Sir. 45:10
That as he went there might be a sound, and a noise made that might be heard in the temple, for a memorial to the children of his people. Sir. 45:11
He gave him a holy robe of gold, and blue, and purple, a woven work of a wise man, endued with judgment and truth: Sir. 45:12
He chose him out of all men living, to offer sacrifice to God, incense, and a good savour, for a memorial to make reconciliation for his people: Sir. 45:20
And he gave him power in his commandments, in the covenants of his judgments, that he should teach Jacob his testimonies, and give light to Israel in his law. Sir. 45:21
He wrought wonders upon them, and consumed them with a flame of fire. Sir. 45:24
And he added glory to Aaron, and gave him an inheritance, and divided unto him the firstfruits of the increase of the earth. Sir. 45:25
He prepared them bread in the first place unto fulness: for the sacrifices also of the Lord they shall eat, which he gave to him, and to his seed. Sir. 45:26
But he shall not inherit among the people in the land, and he hath no portion among the people: for he himself is his portion and inheritance. Sir. 45:27
And he stood up in the shameful fall of the people: in the goodness and readiness of his soul he appeased God for Israel. Sir. 45:29
Therefore he made to him a covenant of peace, to be the prince of the sanctuary, and of his people, that the dignity of priesthood should be to him and to his seed for ever. Sir. 45:30
And a covenant to David the king, the son of Jesse of the tribe of Juda, an inheritance to him and to his seed, that he might give wisdom into our heart to judge his people in justice, that their good things might not be abolished, and he made their glory in their nation everlasting. Sir. 45:31
Very great for the saving the elect of God, to overthrow the enemies that rose up against them, that he might get the inheritance for Israel. Sir. 46:2
How great glory did he gain when he lifted up his hands, and stretched out swords against the cities? Sir. 46:3
He called upon the most high Sovereign when the enemies assaulted him on every side, and the great and holy God heard him by hailstones of exceeding great force. Sir. 46:6
He made a violent assault against the nation of his enemies, and in the descent he destroyed the adversaries. Sir. 46:7
That the nations might know his power, that it is not easy to fight against God. And he followed the mighty one: Sir. 46:8

Did Ezechias king of Juda, and all Juda, condemn him to death? did they not fear the Lord, and beseech the face of the Lord: and the Lord repented of the evil that he had spoken against them? therefore we are doing a great evil against our souls. Jer. 26:19
There was also a man that prophesied in the name of the Lord, Urias the son of Semei of Cariathiarim: and he prophesied against this city, and against this land, according to all the words of Jeremias. Jer. 26:20

For Sedecias king of Juda had shut him up, saying: Why dost thou prophesy, saying: Thus saith the Lord: Behold I will give this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall take it? Jer. 32:3
And Sedecias king of Juda shall not escape out of the hand of the Chaldeans: but he shall be delivered into the hands of the king of Babylon: and he shall speak to him mouth to mouth, and his eyes shall see his eyes. Jer. 32:4
And he shall lead Sedecias to Babylon: and he shall be there till I visit him, saith the Lord. But if you will fight against the Chaldeans, you shall have no success. Jer. 32:5

At the end of seven years, let ye go every man his brother being a Hebrew, who hath been sold to thee, so he shall serve thee six years: and thou shalt let him go free from thee: and your fathers did not hearken to me, nor did they incline their ear. Jer. 34:14
Therefore we have obeyed the voice of Jonadab the son of Rechab, our father, in all things that he commanded us: so as to drink no wine all our days: neither we, nor our wives, nor our sons, nor our daughters: Jer. 35:8
The words of Jonadab the son of Rechab, by which he commanded his sons not to drink wine, have prevailed: and they have drunk none to this day, because they have obeyed the commandment of their father: but I have spoken to you, rising early and speaking, and you have not obeyed me. Jer. 35:14
So the sons of Jonadab the son of Rechab have constantly kept the commandment of their father, which he commanded them: but this people hath not obeyed me. Jer. 35:16

But yet Elnathan, and Dalaias, and Gamarias spoke to the king, not to burn the book: and he heard them not. Jer. 36:25
Therefore thus saith the Lord against Joakim the king of Juda: He shall have none to sit upon the throne of David: and his dead body shall be cast out to the heat by day, and to the frost by night. Jer. 36:30

And when he was come to the gate of Benjamin, the captain of the gate, who was there in his turn, was one named Jerias, the son of Selemias, the son of Hananias: and he took hold of Jeremias the prophet, saying: Thou art fleeing to the Chaldeans. Jer. 37:13

Thus saith the Lord: This city shall surely be delivered into the hand of the army of the king of Babylon, and he shall take it. Jer. 38:3
And the princes said to the king. We beseech thee that this man may be put to death: for on purpose he weakeneth the hands of the men of war, that remain in this city, and the hands of the people, speaking to them according to these words: for this man seeketh not peace to this people, but evil.

He also put out the eyes of Sedecias: and bound him with fetters, to be carried to Babylon. Jer. 39:7
But Nabuzardan the general left some of the poor people that had nothing at all, in the land of Juda, and he gave them vineyards, and cisterns at that time. Jer. 39:10
Take him, and set thy eyes upon him, and do him no harm: but as he hath a mind, so do with him. Jer. 39:12

And the pit into which Ismahel cast all the dead bodies of the men whom he slew because of Godolias, is the same that king Asa made, for fear of Baasa the king of Israel: the same did Ismahel the son of Nathanias fill with them that were slain. Jer. 41:9
Then Ismahel carried away captive all the remnant of the people that were in Masphath: the king's daughters, and all the people that remained in Masphath: whom Nabuzardan the general of the army had committed to Godolias the son of Ahicam.

Phe. The face of the Lord hath divided them, he will no more regard them: they respected not the persons of the priests, neither had they pity on the ancient. Lam. 4:16

At the time when he received the vessels of the temple of the Lord, which had been taken away out of the temple, to return them into the land of Juda the tenth day of the month Sivan, the silver vessels, which Sedecias the son of Josias king of Juda had made, Bar. 1:8
And we were not obedient to him, and we have not hearkened to the voice of the Lord our God, to walk in his commandments which he hath given us. Bar. 1:18
From the day that he brought our fathers out of the land of Egypt, even to this day, we were disobedient to the Lord our God: and going astray we turned away from hearing his voice. Bar. 1:19
And we have not hearkened to the voice of the Lord our God according to all the words of the prophets whom he sent to us: Bar. 1:21
¤ Wherefore the Lord our God hath made good his word, that he spoke to us, and to our judges that have judged Israel, and to our kings, and to our princes, and to all Israel and Juda: Bar. 2:1

And the Lord hath watched over us for evil, and hath brought it upon us: for the Lord is just in all his works which he hath commanded us: Bar. 2:9
And we have not hearkened to his voice to walk in the commandments of the Lord which he hath set before us. Bar. 2:10
But he that knoweth all things, knoweth her, and hath found her out with his understanding: he that prepared the earth for evermore, and filled it with cattle and fourfooted beasts: Bar. 3:32
He that sendeth forth the light, and it goeth: and hath called it, and it obeyeth him with trembling. Bar. 3:33
He found out all the way of knowledge, and gave it to Jacob his servant, and to Israel his beloved. Bar. 3:37
Afterwards he was seen upon earth, and conversed with men. Bar. 3:38
For he hath brought a nation upon them from afar, a wicked nation, and of a strange tongue: Bar. 4:15
But he that hath brought the evils upon you, he will deliver you out of the hands of your enemies. Bar. 4:18
Be of good comfort, my children, cry to the Lord, and he will deliver you out of the hand of the princes your enemies. Bar. 4:21

Be of good heart, O Jerusalem: for he exhorteth thee, that named thee. Bar. 4:30
Even the Chaldeans themselves dishonor them: who when they hear of one dumb that cannot speak, they present him to Bel, entreating him, that he may speak. Bar. 6:40
Better, therefore, is the just man that hath no idols: for he shall be far from reproach. Bar. 6:72
¤ This was the vision of the likeness of the glory of the Lord, and I saw, and I fell upon my face, and I heard the voice of one that spoke, and he said to me: Son of man, stand upon thy feet, and I will speak to thee. Ezec. 2:1
And the spirit entered into me after that he spoke to me, and he set me upon my feet: and I heard him speaking to me, Ezec. 2:2
and he spread it before me, and it was written within and without: and there were written in it lamentations, and canticles, and woe. Ezec. 2:10
¤ And he said to me: Son of man, eat all that thou shalt find: eat this book, and go speak to the children of Israel. Ezec. 3:1
And I opened my mouth, and he caused me to eat that book: Ezec. 3:2

If, when I say to the wicked, Thou shalt surely die: thou declare it not to him, nor speak to him, that he may be converted from his wicked way, and live: the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity, but I will require his blood at thy hand. Ezec. 3:18
But if thou give warning to the wicked, and he be not converted from his wickedness, and from his evil way: he indeed shall die in his iniquity, but thou hast delivered thy soul. Ezec. 3:19
Moreover if the just man shall turn away from his justice, and shall commit iniquity: I will lay a stumblingblock before him, he shall die, because thou hast not given him warning: he shall die in his sin, and his justices which he hath done, shall not be remembered: but I will require his blood at thy hand. Ezec. 3:20
But if thou warn the just man, that the just may not sin, and he doth not sin: living he shall live, because thou hast warned him, and thou hast delivered thy soul. Ezec. 3:21
And the hand of the Lord was upon me, and he said to me: Rise and go forth into the plain, and there I will speak to thee. Ezec. 3:22

And he said to me: Behold I have given thee neat's dung for man's dung, and thou shalt make thy bread therewith. Ezec. 4:15
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
He that is far off shall die of the pestilence: and he that is near, shall fall by the sword: and he that remaineth, and is besieged, shall die by the famine: and I will accomplish my indignation upon them. Ezec. 6:12

The sword without: and the pestilence, and the famine within: he that is in the field shall die by the sword: and they that are in the city, shall be devoured by the pestilence, and the famine. Ezec. 7:15
And he said to me: Son of man, lift up thy eyes towards the way of the north, and I lifted up my eyes towards the way of the north: and behold on the north side of the gate of the altar the idol of jealousy in the very entry. Ezec. 8:5
And he said to me: Son of man, dost thou see, thinkest thou, what these are doing, the great abominations that the house of Israel committeth here, that I should depart far off from my sanctuary? and turn thee yet again and thou shalt see greater abominations. Ezec. 8:6
And he brought me in to the door of the court: and I saw, and behold a hole in the wall. Ezec. 8:7
And he said to me: Son of man, dig in the wall, and when I had digged in the wall, behold a door. Ezec. 8:8
And he said to me: Go in, and see the wicked abominations which they commit here. Ezec. 8:9
And he said to me: Surely thou seest, O son of man, what the ancients of the house of Israel do in the dark, every one in private in his chamber: for they say: The Lord seeth us not, the Lord hath forsaken the earth. Ezec. 8:12
And he said to me: If thou turn thee again, thou shalt see greater abominations which these commit. Ezec. 8:13
And he brought me in by the door of the gate of the Lord's house, which looked to the north: and behold women sat there mourning for Adonis. Ezec. 8:14
And he said to me: Surely thou hast seen, O son of man: but turn thee again, thou shalt see greater abominations than these. Ezec. 8:15
And he brought me into the inner court of the house of the Lord: and behold at the door of the temple of the Lord, between the porch and the altar, were about five and twenty men having their backs towards the temple of the Lord, and their faces to the east: and they adored towards the rising of the sun. Ezec. 8:16
And he said to me: Surely thou hast seen, O son of man: is this a light thing to the house of Juda, that they should commit these abominations which they have committed here: because they have filled the land with iniquity, and have turned to provoke me to anger? and behold they put a branch to their nose. Ezec. 8:17
¤ And he cried in my ears with a loud voice, saying: The visitations of the city are at hand, and every one hath a destroying weapon in his hand. Ezec. 9:1
And the glory of the Lord of Israel went up from the cherub, upon which he was, to the threshold of the house: and he called to the man that was clothed with linen, and had a writer's inkhorn at his loins. Ezec. 9:3
And to the others he said in my hearing: Go ye after him through the city, and strike: let not your eyes spare, nor be ye moved with pity. Ezec. 9:5
And he said to them: Defile the house, and fill the courts with the slain: go ye forth. And they went forth, and slew them that were in the city. Ezec. 9:7
And he said to me: The iniquity of the house of Israel, and of Juda, is exceeding great, and the land is filled with blood, and the city is filled with perverseness: for they have said: The Lord hath forsaken the earth, and the Lord seeth not. Ezec. 9:9
And he spoke to the man, that was clothed with linen, and said: Go in between the wheels that are under the cherubims and fill thy hand with the coals of fire that are between the cherubims, and pour them out upon the city. And he went in, in my sight: Ezec. 10:2
And when he had commanded the man that was clothed with linen, saying: Take fire from the midst of the wheels that are between the cherubims: he went in and stood beside the wheel. Ezec. 10:6
And one cherub stretched out his arm from the midst of the cherubims to the fire that was between the cherubims: and he took, and put it into the hands of him that was clothed with linen: who took it and went forth. Ezec. 10:7
And these wheels he called voluble, in my hearing. Ezec. 10:13
And he said to me: Son of man, these are the men that study iniquity, and frame a wicked counsel in this city, Ezec. 11:2
And I spoke to them of the captivity all the words of the Lord, which he had shewn me. Ezec. 11:25
I did therefore as he had commanded me: I brought forth my goods by day, as the goods of one that removeth: and in the evening I digged through the wall with my hand, and I went forth in the dark, and was carried on men's shoulders in their sight. Ezec. 12:7
And the prince that is in the midst of them, shall be carried on shoulders, he shall go forth in the dark: they shall dig through the wall to bring him out: his face shall be covered, that he may not see the ground with his eyes. Ezec. 12:12
And I will spread my net over him, and he shall be taken in my net: and I will bring him into Babylon, into the land of the Chaldeans, and he shall not see it, and there he shall die. Ezec. 12:13
Because with lies you have made the heart of the just to mourn, whom I have not made sorrowful: and have strengthened the hands of the wicked, that he should not return from his evil way, and live. Ezec. 13:22
For every man of the house of Israel, and every stranger among the proselytes in Israel, if he separate himself from me, and place his idols in his heart, and set the stumblingblock of his iniquity before his face, and come to the prophet to inquire of me by him: I the Lord will answer him by myself. Ezec. 14:7
He cropped off the top of the twigs thereof: and carried it away into the land of Chanaan, and he set it in a city of merchants. Ezec. 17:4
And he took of the seed of the land, and put it in the ground for seed, that it might take a firm root over many waters: he planted it on the surface of the earth. Ezec. 17:5
And there was another large eagle, with great wings, and many feathers: and behold this vine, bending as it were her roots towards him, stretched forth her branches to him, that he might water it by the furrows of her plantation. Ezec. 17:7
Say thou: Thus saith the Lord God: Shall it prosper then? shall he not pull up the roots thereof, and strip off its fruit, and dry up all the branches it hath shot forth, and make it wither: and this without a strong arm, or many people to pluck it up by the root? Ezec. 17:9
Say to the provoking house: Know you not what these things mean? Tell them: Behold the king of Babylon cometh to Jerusalem: and he shall take away the king and the princes thereof and carry them with him to Babylon. Ezec. 17:12
And he shall take one of the king's seed, and make a covenant with him, and take an oath of him. Yea, and he shall take away the mighty men of the land, Ezec. 17:13
But he hath revolted from him and sent ambassadors to Egypt, that it might give him horses, and much people. And shall he that hath done thus prosper, or be saved? and shall he escape that hath broken the covenant? Ezec. 17:15
As I live, saith the Lord God: In the place where the king dwelleth that made him king, whose oath he hath made void, and whose covenant he broke, even in the midst of Babylon shall he die. Ezec. 17:16
And not with a great army, nor with much people shall Pharao fight against him: when he shall cast up mounts, and build forts, to cut off many souls. Ezec. 17:17
For he had despised the oath, breaking his covenant, and behold he hath given his hand: and having done all these things, he shall not escape. Ezec. 17:18
Therefore thus saith the Lord God: As I live, I will lay upon his head the oath he hath despised, and the covenant he hath broken. Ezec. 17:19
And I will spread my net over him, and he shall be taken in my net: and I will bring him into Babylon, and will judge him there for the transgression by which he hath despised me. Ezec. 17:20
Hath walked in my commandments, and kept my judgments, to do truth: he is just, he shall surely live, saith the Lord God. Ezec. 18:9
And if he beget a son that is a robber, a shedder of blood, and that hath done some one of these things: Ezec. 18:10
Though he doth not all these things, but that eateth upon the mountains, and that defileth his neighbour's wife: Ezec. 18:11
That giveth upon usury, and that taketh an increase: shall such a one live? he shall not live. Seeing he hath done all these detestable things, he shall surely die, his blood shall be upon him. Ezec. 18:13
But if he beget a son, who, seeing all his father's sins, which he hath done, is afraid, and shall not do the like to them: Ezec. 18:14
That hath turned away his hand from injuring the poor, hath not taken usury and increase, but hath executed my judgments, and hath walked in my commandments: this man shall not die for the iniquity of his father, but living he shall live. Ezec. 18:17
As for his father, because he oppressed and offered violence to his brother, and wrought evil in the midst of his people, behold he is dead in his own iniquity. Ezec. 18:18
And you say: Why hath not the son borne the iniquity of his father? Verily, because the son hath wrought judgment and justice, hath kept all my commandments, and done them, living, he shall live. Ezec. 18:19
But if the wicked do penance for all his sins which he hath committed, and keep all my commandments, and do judgment, and justice, living he shall live, and shall not die. Ezec. 18:21
I will not remember all his iniquities that he hath done: in his justice which he hath wrought, he shall live. Ezec. 18:22
Is it my will that a sinner should die, saith the Lord God, and not that he should be converted from his ways, and live? Ezec. 18:23
But if the just man turn himself away from his justice, and do iniquity according to all the abominations which the wicked man useth to work, shall he live? all his justices which he hath done, shall not be remembered: in the prevarication, by which he hath prevaricated, and in his sin, which he hath committed, in them he shall die. Ezec. 18:24
For when the just turneth himself away from his justice, and committeth iniquity, he shall die therein: in the injustice that he hath wrought he shall die. Ezec. 18:26
And when the wicked turneth himself away from his wickedness, which he hath wrought, and doeth judgment, and justice: he shall save his soul alive. Ezec. 18:27
Because he considereth and turneth away himself from all his iniquities which he hath wrought, he shall surely live, and not die. Ezec. 18:28
And she brought out one of her whelps, and he became a lion: and he learned to catch the prey, and to devour men. Ezec. 19:3
And he went up and down among the lions, and became a lion: and he learned to catch the prey, and to devour men. Ezec. 19:6
He learned to make widows, and to lay waste their cities: and the land became desolate, and the fulness thereof by the noise of his roaring. Ezec. 19:7
And the nations came together against him on every side out of the provinces, and they spread their net over him, in their wounds he was taken. Ezec. 19:8
And I gave them my statutes, and I shewed them my judgments, which if a man do, he shall live in them. Ezec. 20:11
But the house of Israel provoked me in the desert: they walked not in my statutes, and they cast away my judgments, which if a man do he shall live in them: and they grievously violated my sabbaths. I said therefore that I would pour out my indignation upon them in the desert, and would consume them. Ezec. 20:13
But their children provoked me, they walked not in my commandments, nor observed my judgments to do them: which if a man do, he shall live in them: and they violated my sabbaths: and I threatened to pour out my indignation upon them, and to accomplish my wrath in them in the desert. Ezec. 20:21
And thou son of man, set thee two ways, for the sword of the king of Babylon to come: both shall come forth out of one land: and with his hand he shall draw lots, he shall consult at the head of the way of the city. Ezec. 21:19
For the king of Babylon stood in the highway, at the head of two ways, seeking divination, shuffling arrows: he inquired of the idols, and consulted entrails. Ezec. 21:21
And he shall be in their eyes as one consulting the oracle in vain, and imitating the leisure of sabbaths: but he will call to remembrance the iniquity that they may be taken. Ezec. 21:23
I will shew it to be iniquity, iniquity, iniquity: but this was not done till he came to whom judgment belongeth, and I will give it him. Ezec. 21:27
So I spoke to the people in the morning, and my wife died in the evening: and I did in the morning as he had commanded me. Ezec. 24:18
And Ezechiel shall be unto you for a sign of things to come: according to all that he hath done, so shall you do, when this shall come to pass: and you shall know that I am the Lord God. Ezec. 24:24
In that day when he that escapeth shall come to thee, to tell thee: Ezec. 24:26
Thy daughters that are in the field, he shall kill with the sword: and he shall compass thee with forts, and shall cast up a mount round about: and he shall lift up the buckler against thee. Ezec. 26:8
And he shall set engines of war and battering rams against thy walls, and shall destroy thy towers with his arms. Ezec. 26:9
With the hoofs of his horses he shall tread down all thy streets, thy people he shall kill with the sword, and thy famous statues shall fall to the ground. Ezec. 26:11
Son of man, Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon hath made his army to undergo hard service against Tyre: every head was made bald, and every shoulder was peeled and there hath been no reward given him, nor his army for Tyre, for the service that he rendered me against it. Ezec. 29:18
Therefore thus saith the Lord God: Behold, I will set Nabuchodonosor the king of Babylon in the land of Egypt: and he shall take her multitude, and take the booty thereof for a prey, and rifle the spoils thereof: and it shall be wages for his army. Ezec. 29:19
And for the service that he hath done me against it: I have given him the land of Egypt, because he hath laboured for me, saith the Lord God. Ezec. 29:20
He and his people with him, the strongest of nations, shall be brought to destroy the land: and they shall draw their swords upon Egypt: and shall fill the land with the slain. Ezec. 30:11
And I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, and the arms of Pharao shall fall: and they shall know that I am the Lord, when I shall have given my sword into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall have stretched it forth upon the land of Egypt. Ezec. 30:25
And when he had spread forth his shadow, all the fowls of the air made their nests in his boughs, and all the beasts of the forest brought forth their young under his branches, and the assembly of many nations dwelt under his shadow. Ezec. 31:6
And he was most beautiful for his greatness, and for the spreading of his branches: for his root was near great waters. Ezec. 31:7
The cedars in the paradise of God were not higher than he, the fir trees did not equal his top, neither were the plane trees to be compared with him for branches: no tree in the paradise of God was like him in his beauty. Ezec. 31:8
Therefore thus saith the Lord God: Because he was exalted in height, and shot up his top green and thick, and his heart was lifted up in his height: Ezec. 31:10
I have delivered him into the hands of the mighty one of the nations, he shall deal with him: I have cast him out according to his wickedness. Ezec. 31:11
Thus saith the Lord God: In the day when he went down to hell, I brought in mourning, I covered him with the deep: and I withheld its rivers, and restrained the many waters: Libanus grieved for him, and all the trees of the field trembled. Ezec. 31:15
Pharao saw them, and he was comforted concerning all his multitude, which was slain by the sword: Pharao, and all his army, saith the Lord God: Ezec. 32:31
Because I have spread my terror in the land of the living, and he hath slept in the midst of the uncircumcised with them that are slain by the sword: Pharao and all his multitude, saith the Lord God. Ezec. 32:32
And he sees the sword coming upon the land, and sound the trumpet, and tell the people: Ezec. 33:3
Then he that heareth the sound of the trumpet, whosoever he be, and doth not look to himself, if the sword come, and cut him off: his blood shall be upon his own head. Ezec. 33:4
He heard the sound of the trumpet, and did not look to himself, his blood shall be upon him: but if he look to himself, he shall save his life. Ezec. 33:5
And if the watchman see the sword coming, and sound not the trumpet: and the people look not to themselves, and the sword come, and cut off a soul from among them: he indeed is taken away in his iniquity, but I will require his blood at the hand of the watchman. Ezec. 33:6
But if thou tell the wicked man, that he may be converted from his ways, and he be not converted from his way he shall die in his iniquity: but thou hast delivered thy soul. Ezec. 33:9
Thou therefore, O son of man, say to the children of thy people: The justice of the just shall not deliver him, in what day soever he shall sin: and the wickedness of the wicked shall not hurt him, in what day soever he shall turn from his wickedness: and the just shall not be able to live in his justice, in what day soever he shall sin. Ezec. 33:12
Yea, if I shall say to the just that he shall surely live, and he, trusting in his justice, commit iniquity: all his justices shall be forgotten, and his iniquity, which he hath committed, in the same shall he die. Ezec. 33:13
And if I shall say to the wicked: Thou shalt surely die: and he do penance for his sin, and do judgment and justice, Ezec. 33:14
And if that wicked man restore the pledge, and render what he had robbed, and walk in the commandments of life, and do no unjust thing: he shall surely live, and shall not die. Ezec. 33:15
None of his sins, which he hath committed, shall be imputed to him: he hath done judgment and justice, he shall surely live. Ezec. 33:16
For when the just shall depart from his justice, and commit iniquities, he shall die in them. Ezec. 33:18
And when the wicked shall depart from his wickedness, and shall do judgments, and justice, he shall live in them. Ezec. 33:19
And the hand of the Lord had been upon me in the evening, before he that was fled came: and he opened my mouth till he came to me in the morning, and my mouth being opened, I was silent no more. Ezec. 33:22
Son of man, they that dwell in these ruinous places in the land of Israel, speak, saying: Abraham was one, and he inherited the land, but we are many, the land is given us in possession. Ezec. 33:24
Say thou thus to them: Thus saith the Lord God: As I live, they that dwell in the ruinous places, shall fall by the sword: and he that is in the field, shall be given to the beasts to be devoured: and they that are in holds, and caves, shall die of the pestilence. Ezec. 33:27
As the shepherd visiteth his flock in the day when he shall be in the midst of his sheep that were scattered, so will I visit my sheep, and will deliver them out of all the places where they have been scattered in the cloudy and dark day. Ezec. 34:12
And as for you, O my flocks, thus saith the Lord God: Behold I judge between cattle and cattle, of rams and of he goats. Ezec. 34:17
And I WILL SET UP ONE SHEPHERD OVER THEM, and he shall feed them, even my servant David: he shall feed them, and he shall be their shepherd. Ezec. 34:23
And he led me about through them on every side: now they were very many upon the face of the plain, and they were exceeding dry. Ezec. 37:2
And he said to me: Son of man, dost thou think these bones shall live and I answered: O Lord God, thou knowest. Ezec. 37:3
And he said to me: Prophesy concerning these bones; and say to them: Ye dry bones, hear the word of the Lord. Ezec. 37:4
And I prophesied as he had commanded me: and as I prophesied there was a noise, and behold a commotion: and the bones came together, each one, to its joint. Ezec. 37:7
And he said to me: Prophesy to the spirit, prophesy, O son of man, and say to the spirit: Thus saith the Lord God: Come, spirit, from the four winds, and blow upon these slain, and let them live again. Ezec. 37:9
And I prophesied as he had commanded me: and the spirit came into them, and they lived: and they stood up upon their feet, an exceeding great army. Ezec. 37:10
And he said to me: Son of man: All these bones are the house of Israel: they say: Our bones are dried up, and our hope is lost, and we are cut off. Ezec. 37:11
Thus saith the Lord God: Thou then art he, of whom I have spoken in the days of old, by my servants the prophets of Israel, who prophesied in the days of those times that I would bring thee upon them. Ezec. 38:17
You shall eat the flesh of the mighty, and you shall drink the blood of the princes of the earth, of rams, and of lambs, and of he goats, and bullocks, and of all that are well fed and fat. Ezec. 39:18
¤ In the five and twentieth year of our captivity, in the beginning of the year, the tenth day of the month, the fourteenth year after the city was destroyed: in the selfsame day the hand of the Lord was upon me, and he brought me thither. Ezec. 40:1
In the visions of God he brought me into the land of Israel, and set me upon a very high mountain: upon which there was as the building of a city, bending towards the south. Ezec. 40:2
And he brought me in thither, and behold a man, whose appearance was like the appearance of brass, with a line of flax in his hand, and a measuring reed in his hand, and he stood in the gate. Ezec. 40:3
And behold there was a wall on the outside of the house round about, and in the man's hand a measuring reed of six cubits and a handbreadth: and he measured the breadth of the building one reed, and the height one reed. Ezec. 40:5
And he came to the gate that looked toward the east, and he went up the steps thereof: and he measured the breadth of the threshold of the gate one reed, that is, one threshold was one reed broad; Ezec. 40:6
And he measured the porch of the gate eight cubits, and the front thereof two cubits: and the porch of the gate was inward. Ezec. 40:9
And he measured the breadth of the threshold of the gate ten cubits: and the length of the gate thirteen cubits: Ezec. 40:11
And he measured the gate from the roof of one little chamber to the roof of another, in breadth five and twenty cubits: door against door. Ezec. 40:13
He made also fronts of sixty cubits: and to the front the court of the gate on every side round about. Ezec. 40:14
And he brought me into the outward court, and behold there were chambers, and a pavement of stone in the court round about: thirty chambers encompassed the pavement. Ezec. 40:17
And he measured the breadth from the face of the lower gate to the front of the inner court without, a hundred cubits to the east, and to the north. Ezec. 40:19
He measured also both the length and the breadth of the gate of the outward court, which looked northward. Ezec. 40:20
And the gate of the inner court was over against the gate of the north, and that of the east: and he measured from gate to gate a hundred cubits. Ezec. 40:23
And he brought me out to the way of the south, and behold the gate that looked to the south: and he measured the front thereof, and the porch thereof according to the former measures. Ezec. 40:24
And there was a gate of the inner court towards the south: and he measured from gate to gate towards the south, a hundred cubits. Ezec. 40:27
And he brought me into the inner court at the south gate: and he measured the gate according to the former measures. Ezec. 40:28
And he brought me into the inner court by the way of the east: and he measured the gate according to the former measures. Ezec. 40:32
And he brought me into the gate that looked to the north: and he measured according to the former measures. Ezec. 40:35
And he said to me: This chamber, which looketh toward the south shall be for the priests that watch in the wards of the temple. Ezec. 40:45
And he measured the court a hundred cubits long, and a hundred cubits broad foursquare: and the altar that was before the face of the temple. Ezec. 40:47
And he brought me into the porch of the temple: and he measured the porch five cubits on this side, and five cubits on that side: and the breadth of the gate three cubits on this side, and three cubits on that side. Ezec. 40:48
¤ And he brought me into the temple, and he measured the fronts six cubits broad on this side, and six cubits on that side, the breadth of the tabernacle. Ezec. 41:1
And the breadth of the gate was ten cubits: and the sides of the gate five cubits on this side, and five cubits on that side: and he measured the length thereof forty cubits, and the breadth twenty cubits. Ezec. 41:2
Then going inward he measured the front of the gate two cubits: and the gate six cubits, and the breadth of the gate seven cubits. Ezec. 41:3
And he measured the length thereof twenty cubits, and the breadth twenty cubits, before the face of the temple: and he said to me: This is the holy of holies. Ezec. 41:4
And he measured the wall of the house six cubits: and the breadth of every side chamber four cubits round about the house on every side. Ezec. 41:5
And he measured the length of the house, a hundred cubits: and the separate building, and the walls thereof, a hundred cubits in length. Ezec. 41:13
And he measured the length of the building over against it, which was separated at the back of it: and the galleries on both sides a hundred cubits: and the inner temple, and the porches of the court. Ezec. 41:15
The altar of wood was three cubits high: and the length thereof was two cubits: and the corners thereof, and the length thereof, and the walls thereof, were of wood. And he said to me: This is the table before the Lord. Ezec. 41:22
¤ And he brought me forth into the outward court by the way that leadeth to the north, and he brought me into the chamber that was over against the separate building, and over against the house toward the north. Ezec. 42:1
And he said to me: The chambers of the north, and the chambers of the south, which are before the separate building: they are holy chambers, in which the priests shall eat, that approach to the Lord into the holy of holies: there they shall lay the most holy things, and the offering for sin, and for trespass: for it is a holy place. Ezec. 42:13
Now when he had made an end of measuring the inner house, he brought me out by the way of the gate that looked toward the east: and he measured it on every side round about. Ezec. 42:15
And he measured toward the east with the measuring reed, five hundred reeds with the measuring reed round about. Ezec. 42:16
And he measured toward the north five hundred reeds with the measuring reed round about. Ezec. 42:17
And towards the south he measured five hundred reeds with the measuring reed round about. Ezec. 42:18
And toward the west he measured five hundred reeds, with the measuring reed. Ezec. 42:19
By the four winds he measured the wall thereof on every side round about, five hundred cubits long and five hundred cubits broad, making a separation between the sanctuary and the place of the people. Ezec. 42:20
¤ And he brought me to the gate that looked towards the east. Ezec. 43:1
And I saw the vision according to the appearance which I had seen when he came to destroy the city: and the appearance was according to the vision which I had seen by the river Chobar: and I fell upon my face. Ezec. 43:3
And he said to me: Son of man, thus saith the Lord God: These are the ceremonies of the altar, in what day soever it shall be made: that holocausts may be offered upon it, and blood poured out. Ezec. 43:18
And in the second day thou shalt offer a he goat without blemish for sin: and they shall expiate the altar, as they expiated it with the calf. Ezec. 43:22
Seven days shalt thou offer a he goat for sin daily: they shall offer also a calf of the herd, and a ram of the flock without blemish. Ezec. 43:25
¤ And he brought me back to the way of the gate of the outward sanctuary, which looked towards the east: and it was shut. Ezec. 44:1
For the prince. The prince himself shall sit in it, to eat bread before the Lord: he shall enter in by the way of the porch of the gate, and shall go out by the same way. Ezec. 44:3
And he brought me by the way of the north gate, in the sight of the house: and I saw, and behold the glory of the Lord filled the house of the Lord: and I fell on my face. Ezec. 44:4
And no priest shall drink wine when he is to go into the inner court. Ezec. 44:21
And in the day that he goeth into the sanctuary, to the inner court, to minister unto me in the sanctuary, he shall offer for his sin, saith the Lord God. Ezec. 44:27
And the firstfruits of all the firstborn, and all the libations of all things that are offered, shall be the priest's: and you shall give the firstfruits of your meats to the priest, that he may return a blessing upon thy house. Ezec. 44:30
He shall have a portion of the land in Israel: and the princes shall no more rob my people: but they shall give the land to the house of Israel according to their tribes: Ezec. 45:8
And the prince shall give the holocaust, and the sacrifice, and the libations on the feasts, and on the new moons, and on the sabbaths, and on all the solemnities of the house of Israel: he shall offer the sacrifice for sin, and the holocaust, and the peace offerings to make expiation for the house of Israel. Ezec. 45:17
And the priest shall take of the blood of the sin offering: and he shall put it on the posts of the house, and on the four corners of the brim of the altar, and on the posts of the gate of the inner court. Ezec. 45:19
And in the solemnity of the seven days he shall offer for a holocaust to the Lord, seven calves, and seven rams without blemish daily for seven days: and for sin a he goat daily. Ezec. 45:23
And he shall offer the sacrifice of an ephi for every calf, and an ephi for every ram: and a hin of oil for every ephi. Ezec. 45:24
In the seventh month, in the fifteenth day of the month, in the solemn feast, he shall do the like for the seven days: as well in regard to the sin offering, as to the holocaust, and the sacrifice, and the oil. Ezec. 45:25
And the prince shall enter by the way of the porch of the gate from without, and he shall stand at the threshold of the gate: and the priests shall offer his holocaust, and his peace offerings: and he shall adore upon the threshold of the gate, and shall go out: but the gate shall not be shut till the evening. Ezec. 46:2
And he shall offer in sacrifice an ephi for a calf, an ephi also for a ram: but for the lambs, as his hand shall find: and a hin of oil for every ephi. Ezec. 46:7
But when the people of the land shall go in before the Lord in the solemn feasts, he that goeth in by the north gate to adore, shall go out by the way of the south gate; and he that goeth in by the way of the south gate, shall go out by the way of the north gate: he shall not return by the way of the gate whereby he came in, but shall go out at that over against it. Ezec. 46:9
But when the prince shall offer a voluntary holocaust, or voluntary peace offerings to the Lord: the gate that looketh towards the east shall be opened to him, and he shall offer his holocaust, and his peace offerings, as it is wont to be done on the sabbath day: and he shall go out, and the gate shall be shut after he is gone forth. Ezec. 46:12
And he shall offer every day for a holocaust to the Lord, a lamb of the same year without blemish: he shall offer it always in the morning. Ezec. 46:13
And he shall offer the sacrifice for it morning by morning, the sixth part of an ephi: and the third part of a hin of oil to be mingled with the fine flour: a sacrifice to the Lord by ordinance continual and everlasting. Ezec. 46:14
He shall offer the lamb, and the sacrifice, and the oil morning by morning: an everlasting holocaust. Ezec. 46:15
But if he give a legacy out of his inheritance to one of his servants, it shall be his until the year of release, and it shall return to the prince: but his inheritance shall go to his sons. Ezec. 46:17
And the prince shall not take of the people's inheritance by violence, nor of their possession: but out of his own possession he shall give an inheritance to his sons: that my people be not dispersed every man from his possession. Ezec. 46:18
And he brought me in by the entry that was at the side of the gate, into the chambers of the sanctuary that were for the priests, which looked toward the north. And there was a place bending to the west. Ezec. 46:19
And he said to me: This is the place where the priests shall boil the sin offering, and the trespass offering: where they shall dress the sacrifice, that they may not bring it out into the outward court, and the people be sanctified. Ezec. 46:20
And he brought me into the outward court, and he led me about by the four corners of the court: and behold there was a little court in the corner of the court, to every corner of the court there was a little court. Ezec. 46:21
And he said to me: This is the house of the kitchens wherein the ministers of the house of the Lord shall boil the victims of the people. Ezec. 46:24
¤ And he brought me again to the gate of the house, and behold waters issued out from under the threshold of the house toward the east: for the forefront of the house looked toward the east: but the waters came down to the right side of the temple to the south part of the altar. Ezec. 47:1
And he led me out by the way of the north gate, and he caused me to turn to the way without the outward gate to the way that looked toward the east: and behold there ran out waters on the right side. Ezec. 47:2
And when the man that had the line in his hand went out towards the east, he measured a thousand cubits: and he brought me through the water up to the ankles. Ezec. 47:3
And again he measured a thousand, and he brought me through the water up to the knees. Ezec. 47:4
And he measured a thousand, and he brought me through the water up to the loins. And he measured a thousand, and it was a torrent, which I could not pass over: for the waters were risen so as to make a deep torrent, which could not be passed over. Ezec. 47:5
And he said to me: Surely thou hast seen, O son of man. And he brought me out, and he caused me to turn to the bank of the torrent. Ezec. 47:6
And he said to me: These waters that issue forth toward the hillocks of sand to the east, and go down to the plains of the desert, shall go into the sea, and shall go out, and the waters shall be healed. Ezec. 47:8
And the Lord delivered into his hands Joakim, the king of Juda, and part of the vessels of the house of God: and he carried them away into the land of Sennaar, to the house of his god, and the vessels he brought into the treasure house of his god. Dan. 1:2
And the king spoke to Asphenez, the master of the eunuchs, that he should bring in some of the children of Israel, and of the king's seed, and of the princes, Dan. 1:3
Children in whom there was no blemish, well favoured, and skilful in all wisdom, acute in knowledge, and instructed in science, and such as might stand in the king's palace, that he might teach them the learning, and the tongue of the Chaldeans. Dan. 1:4
And the king appointed them a daily provision, of his own meat, and of the wine of which he drank himself, that being nourished three years, afterwards they might stand before the king. Dan. 1:5
But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not be defiled with the king's table, nor with the wine which he drank: and he requested the master of the eunuchs that he might not be defiled. Dan. 1:8
And the prince of the eunuchs said to Daniel: I fear my lord, the king, who hath appointed you meat and drink: who if he should see your faces leaner than those of the other youths, your equals, you shall endanger my head to the king. Dan. 1:10
And when he had heard these words, he tried them for ten days. Dan. 1:14
So Malasar took their portions, and the wine that they should drink: and he gave them pulse. Dan. 1:16
And in all matters of wisdom and understanding, that the king inquired of them, he found them ten times better than all the diviners, and wise men, that were in all his kingdom. Dan. 1:20
And he asked him that had received the orders of the king, why so cruel a sentence was gone forth from the face of the king. And when Arioch had told the matter to Daniel, Dan. 2:15
Daniel went in, and desired of the king, that he would give him time to resolve the question, and declare it to the king. Dan. 2:16
And he went into his house, and told the matter to Ananias, and Misael, and Azarias, his companions: Dan. 2:17
And speaking, he said: Blessed be the name of the Lord from eternity and for evermore: for wisdom and fortitude are his. Dan. 2:20
And he changeth times and ages: taketh away kingdoms, and establisheth them: giveth wisdom to the wise, and knowledge to them that have understanding: Dan. 2:21
He revealeth deep and hidden things, and knoweth what is in darkness: and light is with him. Dan. 2:22
After this Daniel went in to Arioch, to whom the king had given orders to destroy the wise men of Babylon, and he spoke thus to him: Destroy not the wise men of Babylon: bring me in before the king, and I will tell the solution to the king. Dan. 2:24
Thou, O king, didst begin to think in thy bed, what should come to pass hereafter: and he that revealeth mysteries shewed thee what shall come to pass. Dan. 2:29
And all places wherein the children of men, and the beasts of the field do dwell: he hath also given the birds of the air into thy hand, and hath put all things under thy power: thou, therefore, art the head of gold. Dan. 2:38
Then the king advanced Daniel to a high station, and gave him many and great gifts: and he made him governor over all the provinces of Babylon: and chief of the magistrates over all the wise men of Babylon. Dan. 2:48
And Daniel requested of the king, and he appointed Sidrach, Misach, and Abdenago, over the works of the province of Babylon: but Daniel himself was in the king's palace. Dan. 2:49
And he took a wife, whose name was Susanna, the daughter of Helcias, a very beautiful woman, and one that feared God. Dan. 13:2
Now Joakim was very rich, and had an orchard near his house: and the Jews resorted to him, because he was the most honourable of them all. Dan. 13:4
And him indeed we could not take, because he was stronger than us, and opening the doors, he leaped out: Dan. 13:39
And he cried out with a loud voice: I am clear from the blood of this woman. Dan. 13:46
But he standing in the midst of them, said: Are ye so foolish, ye children of Israel, that without examination or knowledge of the truth, you have condemned a daughter of Israel? Dan. 13:48
So when they were put asunder one from the other, he called one of them, and said to him: O thou that art grown old in evil days, now are thy sins come out, which thou hast committed before: Dan. 13:52
Now then if thou sawest her, tell me under what tree thou sawest them conversing together: He said: Under a mastic tree. Dan. 13:54
And having put him aside, he commanded that the other should come, and he said to him: O thou seed of Chanaan, and not of Juda, beauty hath deceived thee, and lust hath perverted thy heart: Dan. 13:56
Now, therefore, tell me, under what tree didst thou take them conversing together. And he answered: Under a holm tree. Dan. 13:58
¤ King Nabuchodonosor made a statue of gold, of sixty cubits high, and six cubits broad, and he set it up in the plain of Dura, of the province of Babylon. Dan. 3:1
But if any man shall not fall down and adore, he shall the same hour be cast into a furnace of burning fire. Dan. 3:6
And that if any man shall not fall down and adore, he should be cast into a furnace of burning fire. Dan. 3:11
But if he will not, be it known to thee, O king, that we will not worship thy gods, nor adore the golden statue which thou hast set up. Dan. 3:18
Then was Nabuchodonosor filled with fury: and the countenance of his face was changed against Sidrach, Misach, and Abdenago, and he commanded that the furnace should be heated seven times more than it had been accustomed to be heated. Dan. 3:19
And he commanded the strongest men that were in his army, to bind the feet of Sidrach, Misach, and Abdenago, and to cast them into the furnace of burning fire. Dan. 3:20
Then Azarias standing up, prayed in this manner, and opening his mouth in the midst of the fire, he said: Dan. A:2
But the angel of the Lord went down with Azarias and his companions into the furnace: and he drove the flame of the fire out of the furnace, Dan. A:26
O Ananias, Azarias, and Misael, bless ye the Lord: praise and exalt him above all for ever. For he hath delivered us from hell, and saved us out of the hand of death, and delivered us out of the midst of the burning flame, and saved us out of the midst of the fire. Dan. A:65
O give thanks to the Lord, because he is good: because his mercy endureth for ever and ever. Dan. A:66
He answered, and said: Behold, I see four men loose, and walking in the midst of the fire, and there is no hurt in them, and the form of the fourth is like the son of God. Dan. 3:25
He cried aloud, and said thus: Cut down the tree, and chop off the branches thereof: shake off its leaves, and scatter its fruits: let the beasts fly away that are under it, and the birds from its branches. Dan. 4:14
This is the decree by the sentence of the watchers, and the word and demand of the holy ones: till the living know, that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men: and he will give it to whomsoever it shall please him, and he will appoint the basest man over it. Dan. 4:17
They shall cast thee out from among men, and thy dwelling shall be with cattle, and with wild beasts, and thou shalt eat grass, as an ox, and shalt be wet with the dew of heaven: and seven times shall pass over thee, till thou know that the most High ruleth over the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will. Dan. 4:25
But whereas he commanded, that the stump of the roots thereof, that is, of the tree, should be left: thy kingdom shall remain to thee, after thou shalt have known that power is from heaven. Dan. 4:26
Wherefore, O king, let my counsel be acceptable to thee, and redeem thou thy sins with alms, and thy iniquities with works of mercy to the poor: perhaps he will forgive thy offences. Dan. 4:27
At the end of twelve months he was walking in the palace of Babylon. Dan. 4:29
And they shall cast thee out from among men, and thy dwelling shall be with cattle and wild beasts: thou shalt eat grass like an ox, and seven times shall pass over thee, till thou know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will. Dan. 4:32
The same hour the word was fulfilled upon Nabuchodonosor, and he was driven away from among men, and did eat grass, like an ox, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven: till his hairs grew like the feathers of eagles, and his nails like birds' claws. Dan. 4:33
And all the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing before him: for he doth according to his will, as well with the powers of heaven, as among the inhabitants of the earth: and there is none that can resist his hand, and say to him: Why hast thou done it? Dan. 4:35
Therefore I, Nabuchodonosor, do now praise, and magnify, and glorify the King of heaven: because all his works are true, and his ways judgments, and them that walk in pride he is able to abase. Dan. 4:37
And being now drunk, he commanded that they should bring the vessels of gold and silver, which Nabuchodonosor, his father, had brought away out of the temple, that was in Jerusalem, that the king and his nobles, and his wives, and his concubines, might drink in them. Dan. 5:2
Then were the golden and silver vessels brought, which he had brought away out of the temple that was in Jerusalem: and the king and his nobles, his wives, and his concubines, drank in them. Dan. 5:3
Because a greater spirit, and knowledge, and understanding, and interpretation of dreams, and shewing of secrets, and resolving of difficult things, were found in him, that is, in Daniel: whom the king named Baltassar. Now, therefore, let Daniel be called for, and he will tell the interpretation. Dan. 5:12
And for the greatness that he gave to him, all people, tribes, and languages trembled, and were afraid of him: whom he would, he slew: and whom he would, he destroyed: and whom he would, he set up: and whom he would, he brought down. Dan. 5:19
But when his heart was lifted up, and his spirit hardened unto pride, he was put down from the throne of his kingdom, and his glory was taken away. Dan. 5:20
And he was driven out from the sons of men, and his heart was made like the beasts, and his dwelling was with the wild asses, and he did eat grass like an ox, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven: till he knew that the most High ruled in the kingdom of men, and that he will set over it whomsoever it shall please him. Dan. 5:21
Wherefore, he hath sent the part of the hand which hath written this that is set down. Dan. 5:24
Then by the king's command, Daniel was clothed with purple, and a chain of gold was put about his neck: and it was proclaimed of him that he had power as the third man in the kingdom. Dan. 5:29
¤ It seemed good to Darius, and he appointed over the kingdom a hundred and twenty governors, to be over his whole kingdom. Dan. 6:1
And the king thought to set him over all the kingdom; whereupon the princes, and the governors, sought to find occasion against Daniel, with regard to the king: and they could find no cause, nor suspicion, because he was faithful, and no fault, nor suspicion was found in him. Dan. 6:4
Now, when Daniel knew this, that is to say, that the law was made, he went into his house: and opening the windows in his upper chamber towards Jerusalem, he knelt down three times a day, and adored and gave thanks before his God, as he had been accustomed to do before. Dan. 6:10
Then they answered, and said before the king: Daniel, who is of the children of the captivity of Juda, hath not regarded thy law, nor the decree that thou hast made: but three times a day he maketh his prayer. Dan. 6:13
Now when the king had heard these words, he was very much grieved, and in behalf of Daniel he set his heart to deliver him, and even till sunset he laboured to save him. Dan. 6:14
Then the king commanded, and they brought Daniel, and cast him into the den of the lions. And the king said to Daniel: Thy God, whom thou always servest, he will deliver thee. Dan. 6:16
Then was the king exceeding glad for him, and he commanded that Daniel should be taken out of the den: and Daniel was taken out of the den, and no hurt was found in him, because he believed in his God. Dan. 6:23
It is decreed by me, that in all my empire and my kingdom, all men dread and fear the God of Daniel. For he is the living and eternal God for ever: and his kingdom shall not be destroyed, and his power shall be for ever. Dan. 6:26
He is the deliverer, and saviour, doing signs and wonders in heaven, and in earth: who hath delivered Daniel out of the lions' den. Dan. 6:27
And he answered, and said to him: Because I do not worship idols made with hands, but the living God, that created heaven and earth, and hath power over all flesh. Dan. 14:4
And the king said to him: Doth not Bel seem to thee to be a living god? Seest thou not how much he eateth and drinketh every day? Dan. 14:5
Then Daniel smiled, and said: O king, be not deceived: for this is but clay within, and brass without, neither hath he eaten at any time. Dan. 14:6
But if you can shew that Bel eateth these things, Daniel shall die, because he hath blasphemed against Bel. And Daniel said to the king: Be it done according to thy word. Dan. 14:8
So it came to pass after they were gone out, the king set the meats before Bel: and Daniel commanded his servants, and they brought ashes, and he sifted them all over the temple before the king: and going forth, they shut the door, and having sealed it with the king's ring, they departed. Dan. 14:13
And the king said: Are the seals whole, Daniel? And he answered: They are whole, O king. Dan. 14:16
And as soon as he had opened the door, the king looked upon the table, and cried out with a loud voice: Great art thou, O Bel, and there is not any deceit with thee. Dan. 14:17
And Daniel laughed: and he held the king, that he should not go in: and he said: Behold the pavement, mark whose footsteps these are. Dan. 14:18
Then he took the priests, and their wives, and their children: and they shewed him the private doors by which they came in, and consumed the things that were on the table. Dan. 14:20
And Daniel said: I adore the Lord, my God: for he is the living God: but that is no living god. Dan. 14:24
Then Daniel took pitch, and fat, and hair, and boiled them together: and he made lumps, and put them into the dragon's mouth, and the dragon burst asunder. And he said: Behold him whom you worshipped. Dan. 14:26
And when the Babylonians had heard this, they took great indignation: and being gathered together against the king, they said: The king is become a Jew. He hath destroyed Bel, he hath killed the dragon, and he hath put the priests to death. Dan. 14:27
And the king saw that they pressed upon him violently: and being constrained by necessity: he delivered Daniel to them. Dan. 14:29
And they cast him into the den of lions, and he was there six days. Dan. 14:30
Now there was in Judea a prophet called Habacuc, and he had boiled pottage, and had broken bread in a bowl: and was going into the field, to carry it to the reapers. Dan. 14:32
And upon the seventh day the king came to bewail Daniel: and he came to the den, and looked in, and behold Daniel was sitting in the midst of the lions. Dan. 14:39
And the king cried out with a loud voice, saying: Great art thou, O Lord, the God of Daniel. And he drew him out of the lions' den. Dan. 14:40
But those that had been the cause of his destruction, he cast into the den, and they were devoured in a moment before him. Dan. 14:41
Then the king said: Let all the inhabitants of the whole earth fear the God of Daniel: for he is the Saviour, working signs, and wonders in the earth: who hath delivered Daniel out of the lions' den. Dan. 14:42
¤ In the first year of Baltasar, king of Babylon, Daniel saw a dream: and the vision of his head was upon his bed: and writing the dream, he comprehended it in a few words: and relating the sum of it in short, he said: Dan. 7:1
I beheld, therefore, in the vision of the night, and lo, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and he came even to the ancient of days: and they presented him before him. Dan. 7:13
And he gave him power, and glory, and a kingdom: and all peoples, tribes, and tongues shall serve him: his power is an everlasting power that shall not be taken away: and his kingdom that shall not be destroyed. Dan. 7:14
I went near to one of them that stood by, and asked the truth of him concerning all these things, and he told me the interpretation of the words, and instructed me: Dan. 7:16
After this I would diligently learn concerning the fourth beast, which was very different from all, and exceeding terrible: his teeth and claws were of iron: he devoured and broke in pieces, and the rest he stamped upon with his feet: Dan. 7:19
And concerning the ten horns that he had on his head: and concerning the other that came up, before which three horns fell: and of that horn that had eyes, and a mouth speaking great things, and was greater than the rest. Dan. 7:20
And thus he said: The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be greater than all the kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces. Dan. 7:23
And the ten horns of the same kingdom, shall be ten kings: and another shall rise up after them, and he shall be mightier than the former, and he shall bring down three kings. Dan. 7:24
And he shall speak words against the High One, and shall crush the saints of the most High: and he shall think himself able to change times and laws, and they shall be delivered into his hand until a time, and times, and half a time. Dan. 7:25

And he went through even to the ends of the earth: and took the spoils of many nations: and the earth was quiet before him. 1 Ma. 1:3
And he gathered a power, and a very strong army: and his heart was exalted and lifted up: 1 Ma. 1:4
And he subdued countries of nations, and princes; and they became tributaries to him. 1 Ma. 1:5
And after these things, he fell down upon his bed, and knew that he should die. 1 Ma. 1:6
And he called his servants, the nobles that were brought up with him from his youth: and he divided his kingdom among them, while he was yet alive. 1 Ma. 1:7
And Alexander reigned twelve years, and he died. 1 Ma. 1:8
And there came out of them a wicked root, Antiochus the Illustrious, the son of king Antiochus, who had been a hostage at Rome: and he reigned in the hundred and thirty-seventh year of the kingdom of the Greeks. 1 Ma. 1:11
And some of the people determined to do this, and went to the king: and he gave them license to do after the ordinances of the heathens. 1 Ma. 1:14
And the kingdom was established before Antiochus, and he had a mind to reign over the land of Egypt, that he might reign over two kingdoms. 1 Ma. 1:17
And he entered into Egypt with a great multitude, with chariots, and elephants, and horsemen, and a great number of ships: 1 Ma. 1:18
And he made war against Ptolemee king of Egypt; but Ptolemee was afraid at his presence and fled, and many were wounded unto death. 1 Ma. 1:19
And he took the strong cities in the land of Egypt: and he took the spoils of the land of Egypt. 1 Ma. 1:20
And after Antiochus had ravaged Egypt, in the hundred and forty-third year, he returned and went up against Israel. 1 Ma. 1:21
And he went up to Jerusalem, with a great multitude. 1 Ma. 1:22
And he proudly entered into the sanctuary, and took away the golden altar, and the candlestick of light, and all the vessels thereof, and the table of proposition, and the pouring vessels, and the vials, and the little mortars of gold, and the veil, and the crowns, and the golden ornament that was before the temple: and he broke them all in pieces. 1 Ma. 1:23
And he took the silver and gold, and the precious vessels: and he took the hidden treasures, which he found: and when he had taken all away, he departed into his own country. 1 Ma. 1:24
And he made a great slaughter of men, and spoke very proudly. 1 Ma. 1:25
And after two full years, the king sent the chief collector of his tributes to the cities of Juda, and he came to Jerusalem with a great multitude. 1 Ma. 1:30
And he spoke to them peaceable words in deceit; and they believed him. 1 Ma. 1:31
And he fell upon the city suddenly, and struck it with a great slaughter, and destroyed much people in Israel. 1 Ma. 1:32
And he took the spoils of the city, and burnt it with fire, and threw down the houses thereof, and the walls thereof round about: 1 Ma. 1:33
And he commanded the holy places to be profaned, and the holy people of Israel. 1 Ma. 1:49
And he commanded altars to be built, and temples, and idols, and swine's flesh to be immolated, and unclean beasts, 1 Ma. 1:50
According to all these words he wrote to his whole kingdom: and he appointed rulers over the people that should force them to do these things. 1 Ma. 1:53
¤ In those days arose Mathathias, the son of John, the son of Simeon, a priest of the sons of Joarib, from Jerusalem, and he abode in the mountain of Modin: 1 Ma. 2:1
And he had five sons: John, who was surnamed Gaddis: 1 Ma. 2:2
Now as he left off speaking these words, there came a certain Jew in the sight of all to sacrifice to the idols upon the altar in the city of Modin, according to the king's commandment. 1 Ma. 2:23
And Mathathias saw, and was grieved, and his reins trembled, and his wrath was kindled according to the judgment of the law, and running upon him he slew him upon the altar: 1 Ma. 2:24
Moreover the man whom king Antiochus had sent, who compelled them to sacrifice, he slew at the same time, and pulled down the altar, 1 Ma. 2:25
So he and his sons fled into the mountains, and left all that they had in the city. 1 Ma. 2:28
Now the days drew near that Mathathias should die, and he said to his sons: Now hath pride and chastisement gotten strength, and the time of destruction, and the wrath of indignation: 1 Ma. 2:49
Joseph, in the time of his distress, kept the commandment, and he was made lord of Egypt. 1 Ma. 2:53
Jesus, whilst he fulfilled the word, was made ruler in Israel. 1 Ma. 2:55
Elias, while he was full of zeal for the law, was taken up into heaven. 1 Ma. 2:58
Today he is lifted up, and tomorrow he shall not be found, because he is returned into his earth and his thought is come to nothing. 1 Ma. 2:63
And behold, I know that your brother Simon is a man of counsel: give ear to him always, and he shall be a father to you. 1 Ma. 2:65
And Judas Machabeus, who is valiant and strong from his youth up, let him be the leader of your army, and he shall manage the war of the people. 1 Ma. 2:66
And he blessed them, and was joined to his fathers. 1 Ma. 2:69
And he died in the hundred and forty-sixth year: and he was buried by his sons in the sepulchres of his fathers, in Modin, and all Israel mourned for him with great mourning. 1 Ma. 2:70
And he got his people great honour, and put on a breastplate as a giant, and girt his warlike armour about him in battles, and protected the camp with his sword. 1 Ma. 3:3
In his acts he was like a lion, and like a lion's whelp roaring for his prey. 1 Ma. 3:4
And he pursued the wicked and sought them out, and them that troubled his people he burnt with fire: 1 Ma. 3:5
And he grieved many kings, and made Jacob glad with his works, and his memory is blessed for ever. 1 Ma. 3:7
And he went through the cities of Juda, and destroyed the wicked out of them, and turned away wrath from Israel. 1 Ma. 3:8
And he was renowned even to the utmost part of the earth, and he gathered them that were perishing. 1 Ma. 3:9
And Judas understood it, and went forth to meet him: and he overthrew him, and killed him: and many fell down slain, and the rest fled away. 1 Ma. 3:11
And he took their spoils, and Judas took the sword of Apollonius, and fought with it all his lifetime. 1 Ma. 3:12
And he said I will get me a name, and will be glorified in the kingdom, and will overthrow Judas, and those that are with him, that have despised the edict of the king. 1 Ma. 3:14
And he made himself ready; and the host of the wicked went up with him, strong succours, to be revenged of the children of Israel. 1 Ma. 3:15
And as soon as he had made an end of speaking, he rushed suddenly upon them: and Seron, and his host were overthrown before him: 1 Ma. 3:23
And he pursued him by the descent of Bethoron, even to the plain, and there fell of them eight hundred men, and the rest fled into the land of the Philistines. 1 Ma. 3:24
Now when king Antiochus heard these words, he was angry in his mind: and he sent, and gathered the forces of all his kingdom, an exceeding strong army. 1 Ma. 3:27
And he opened his treasury, and gave out pay to the army for a year: and he commanded them, that they should be ready for all things. 1 Ma. 3:28
And he perceived that the money of his treasures failed, and that the tributes of the country were small, because of the dissension, and the evil that he had brought upon the land, that he might take away the laws of old times: 1 Ma. 3:29
And he feared that he should not have as formerly enough for charges and gifts, which he had given before with a liberal hand: for he had abounded more than the kings that had been before him. 1 Ma. 3:30
And he was greatly perplexed in mind, and purposed to go into Persia, and to take tributes of the countries, and to gather much money. 1 Ma. 3:31
And he left Lysias, a nobleman of the blood royal to oversee the affairs of the kingdom from the river Euphrates even to the river of Egypt: 1 Ma. 3:32
And to bring up his son, Antiochus, till he came again. 1 Ma. 3:33
And he delivered to him half the army, and the elephants: and he gave him charge concerning all that he would have done, and concerning the inhabitants of Judea, and Jerusalem. 1 Ma. 3:34
And that he should send an army against them to destroy and root out the strength of Israel, and the remnant of Jerusalem, and to take away the memory of them from that place. 1 Ma. 3:35
And that he should settle strangers, to dwell in all their coasts, and divide their land by lot. 1 Ma. 3:36
So the king took the half of the army that remained, and went forth from Antioch, the chief city of his kingdom, in the hundred and forty-seventh year: and he passed over the river Euphrates, and went through the higher countries. 1 Ma. 3:37
And he sent with them forty thousand men, and seven thousand horsemen: to go into the land of Juda, and to destroy it, according to the king's orders. 1 Ma. 3:39
And he said to them that were building houses, or had betrothed wives, or were planting vineyards, or were fearful, that they should return every man to his house, according to the law. 1 Ma. 3:56
And Judas heard of it, and rose up, he and the valiant men, to attack the king's forces that were in Emmaus. 1 Ma. 4:3
And Gorgias came by night into the camp of Judas, and found no man; and he sought them in the mountains: for he said: These men flee from us. 1 Ma. 4:5
And he said to the people: Be not greedy of the spoils; for there is war before us: 1 Ma. 4:17
And returning home, they sung a hymn, and blessed God in heaven, because he is good, because his mercy endureth for ever. 1 Ma. 4:24
And when he heard these things, he was amazed and discouraged: because things had not succeeded in Israel according to his mind, and as the king had commanded. 1 Ma. 4:27
So the year following, Lysias gathered together threescore thousand chosen men, and five thousand horsemen, that he might subdue them. 1 Ma. 4:28
And they saw that the army was strong, and he prayed and said: Blessed art thou, O Saviour of Israel, who didst break the violence of the mighty by the hand of thy servant David, and didst deliver up the camp of the strangers into the hands of Jonathan the son of Saul, and of his armour bearer. 1 Ma. 4:30
And when Lysias saw that his men were put to flight, and how bold the Jews were, and that they were ready either to live, or to die manfully, he went to Antioch, and chose soldiers, that they might come again into Judea with greater numbers. 1 Ma. 4:35
And he chose priests without blemish, whose will was set upon the law of God. 1 Ma. 4:42
And he considered about the altar of holocausts that had been profaned, what he should do with it. 1 Ma. 4:44
And he placed a garrison there, to keep it, and he fortified it, to secure Bethsura, that the people might have a defence against Idumea. 1 Ma. 4:61
Then Judas fought against the children of Esau in Idumea, and them that were in Acrabathane: because they beset the Israelites round about, and he made a great slaughter of them. 1 Ma. 5:3
And he remembered the malice of the children of Bean: who were a snare and a stumblingblock to the people, by lying in wait for them in the way. 1 Ma. 5:4
And they were shut up by him in towers, and he set upon them, and devoted them to utter destruction, and burnt their towers with fire, and all that were in them. 1 Ma. 5:5
Then he passed over to the children of Ammon, where he found a mighty power, and much people, and Timotheus was their captain: 1 Ma. 5:6
And he fought many battles with them, and they were discomfited in their sight, and he smote them: 1 Ma. 5:7
And he took the city of Gazer and her towns, and returned into Judea. 1 Ma. 5:8
And he left Joseph, the son of Zacharias, and Azarias, captains of the people, with the remnant of the army in Judea, to keep it: 1 Ma. 5:18
And he commanded them, saying: Take ye the charge of this people; but make no war against the heathens, till we return. 1 Ma. 5:19
And Simon went into Galilee, and fought many battles with the heathens: and the heathens were discomfited before his face, and he pursued them even to the gate of Ptolemais. 1 Ma. 5:21
And there fell of the heathens almost three thousand men, and he took the spoils of them. 1 Ma. 5:22
And he took with him those that were in Galilee and in Arbatis, with their wives, and children, and all that they had, and he brought them into Judea with great joy. 1 Ma. 5:23
Then Judas and his army suddenly turned their march into the desert, to Bosor, and took the city: and he slew every male by the edge of the sword, and took all their spoils, and burnt it with fire. 1 Ma. 5:28
And he said to his host: Fight ye today for your brethren. 1 Ma. 5:32
And he came with three companies behind them, and they sounded their trumpets, and cried out in prayer. 1 Ma. 5:33
And Judas turned aside to Maspha, and assaulted, and took it, and he slew every male thereof, and took the spoils thereof, and burnt it with fire. 1 Ma. 5:35
From thence he marched, and took Casbon, and Mageth, and Bosor, and the rest of the cities of Galaad. 1 Ma. 5:36
And Timotheus said to the captains of his army: When Judas and his army come near the torrent of water, if he pass over unto us first, we shall not be able to withstand him: for he will certainly prevail over us. 1 Ma. 5:40
But if he be afraid to pass over, and camp on the other side of the river, we will pass over to them, and shall prevail against him. 1 Ma. 5:41
Now when Judas came near the torrent of water, he set the scribes of the people by the torrent, and commanded them, saying: Suffer no man to stay behind: but let all come to the battle. 1 Ma. 5:42
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 he took that city, and the temple he burnt with fire, with all things that were therein: and Carnaim was subdued, and could not stand against the face of Judas. 1 Ma. 5:44
Then Judas commanded proclamation to be made in the camp, that they should make an assault, every man in the place where he was. 1 Ma. 5:49
And the men of the army drew near, and he assaulted that city all the day, and all the night; and the city was delivered into his hands: 1 Ma. 5:50
And they slew every male with the edge of the sword, and he razed the city, and took the spoils thereof, and passed through all the city over them that were slain. 1 Ma. 5:51
And Judas gathered together the hindmost, and he exhorted the people, all the way through, till they came into the land of Juda. 1 Ma. 5:53
And he said: Let us also get us a name, and let us go fight against the Gentiles that are round about us. 1 Ma. 5:57
And he gave charge to them that were in his army, and they went towards Jamnia. 1 Ma. 5:58
Then Judas and his brethren went forth and attacked the children of Esau, in the land towards the south, and he took Chebron and her towns: and he burnt the walls thereof, and the towers all round it. 1 Ma. 5:65
And he removed his camp to go into the land of the aliens, and he went through Samaria. 1 Ma. 5:66
And Judas turned to Azotus, into the land of the strangers, and he threw down their altars, and he burnt the statues of their gods with fire: and he took the spoils of the cities, and returned into the land of Juda. 1 Ma. 5:68
¤ Now king Antiochus was going through the higher countries, and he heard that the city of Elymais in Persia, was greatly renowned, and abounding in silver and gold, 1 Ma. 6:1
So he came, and sought to take the city and to pillage it; but he was not able, because the design was known to them that were in the city. 1 Ma. 6:3
And they rose up against him in battle, and he fled away from thence, and departed with great sadness, and returned towards Babylonia. 1 Ma. 6:4
And whilst he was in Persia there came one that told him how the armies that were in the land of Juda were put to flight: 1 Ma. 6:5
And that they had thrown down the abomination which he had set up upon the altar in Jerusalem, and that they had compassed about the sanctuary with high walls as before, and Bethsura also, his city. 1 Ma. 6:7
And it came to pass, when the king heard these words, that he was struck with fear, and exceedingly moved: and he laid himself down upon his bed, and fell sick for grief, because it had not fallen out to him as he imagined. 1 Ma. 6:8
And he remained there many days: for great grief came more and more upon him, and he made account that he should die. 1 Ma. 6:9
And he called for all his friends, and said to them: Sleep is gone from my eyes, and I am fallen away, and my heart is cast down for anxiety: 1 Ma. 6:10
Then he called Philip, one of his friends, and he made him regent over all his kingdom. 1 Ma. 6:14
And he gave him the crown, and his robe, and his ring, that he should go to Antiochus, his son, and should bring him up for the kingdom. 1 Ma. 6:15
And Lysias understood that the king was dead, and he set up Antiochus, his son, to reign, whom he had brought up young: and he called his name Eupator. 1 Ma. 6:17
And Judas purposed to destroy them: and he called together all the people, to besiege them. 1 Ma. 6:19
Now when the king heard this, he was angry: and he called together all his friends, and the captains of his army, and them that were over the horsemen. 1 Ma. 6:28
And the rest of the horsemen he placed on this side and on that side, at the two wings, with trumpets to stir up the army, and to hasten them forward that stood thick together in the legions thereof. 1 Ma. 6:38
And he exposed himself to deliver his people, and to get himself an everlasting name. 1 Ma. 6:44
And he ran up to it boldly in the midst of the legion, killing on the right hand, and on the left, and they fell by him on this side and that side. 1 Ma. 6:45
And he went between the feet of the elephant, and put himself under it: and slew it, and it fell to the ground upon him, and he died there. 1 Ma. 6:46
And he made peace with them that were in Bethsura: and they came forth out of the city, because they had no victuals, being shut up there, for it was the year of rest to the land. 1 Ma. 6:49
And the king took Bethsura: and he placed there a garrison to keep it. 1 Ma. 6:50
And he turned his army against the sanctuary for many days: and he set up there battering slings, and engines, and instruments to cast fire, and engines to cast stones and javelins, and pieces to shoot arrows, and slings. 1 Ma. 6:51
Now Lysias heard that Philip; whom king Antiochus while he lived had appointed to bring up his son, Antiochus, and to reign, 1 Ma. 6:55
Was returned from Persia, and Media, with the army that went with him and that he sought to take upon him the affairs of the kingdom: 1 Ma. 6:56
Wherefore he made haste to go, and say to the king and to the captains of the army: We decay daily, and our provision of victuals is small, and the place that we lay siege to is strong, and it lieth upon us to take order for the affairs of the kingdom. 1 Ma. 6:57
And the proposal was acceptable in the sight of the king, and of the princes: and he sent to them to make peace: and they accepted of it. 1 Ma. 6:60
Then the king entered into Mount Sion, and saw the strength of the place: and he quickly broke the oath that he had taken, and gave commandment to throw down the wall round about. 1 Ma. 6:62
And he departed in haste and returned to Antioch, where he found Philip master of the city: and he fought against him, and took the city. 1 Ma. 6:63
And it came to pass as he entered into the house of the kingdom of his fathers, that the army seized upon Antiochus, and Lysias, to bring them unto him. 1 Ma. 7:2
And when he knew it, he said: Let me not see their face. 1 Ma. 7:3
And they accused the people to the king, saying: Judas and his brethren have destroyed all thy friends, and he hath driven us out of our land. 1 Ma. 7:6
Now, therefore, send some men whom thou trustest, and let him go, and see all the havoc he hath made amongst us, and in the king's lands: and let him punish all his friends and their helpers. 1 Ma. 7:7
Then the king chose Bacchides, one of his friends, that ruled beyond the great river in the kingdom, and was faithful to the king: and he sent him, 1 Ma. 7:8
To see the havoc that Judas had made: and the wicked Alcimus he made high priest, and commanded him to take revenge upon the children of Israel. 1 Ma. 7:9
For they said: One that is a priest of the seed of Aaron is come, he will not deceive us. 1 Ma. 7:14
And he spoke to them peaceably: and he swore to them, saying: We will do you no harm, nor your friends. 1 Ma. 7:15
And they believed him. And he took threescore of them, and slew them in one day, according to the word that is written: 1 Ma. 7:16
And Bacchides removed the camp from Jerusalem, and pitched in Bethzecha: and he sent, and took many of them that were fled away from him, and some of the people he killed, and threw them into a great pit. 1 Ma. 7:19
Then he committed the country to Alcimus, and left with him troops to help him. So Bacchides went away to the king. 1 Ma. 7:20
But Alcimus did what he could to maintain his chief priesthood. 1 Ma. 7:21
And he went out into all the coasts of Juda round about, and took vengeance upon the men that had revolted, and they ceased to go forth any more into the country. 1 Ma. 7:24
And Alcimus saw that Judas and they that were with him, prevailed: and he knew that he could not stand against them, and he went back to the king, and accused them of many crimes. 1 Ma. 7:25
And the king sent Nicanor, one of his principal lords, who was a great enemy to Israel: and he commanded him to destroy the people. 1 Ma. 7:26
And Nicanor came to Jerusalem with a great army, and he sent to Judas and to his brethren deceitfully, with friendly words, 1 Ma. 7:27
And he came to Judas, and they saluted one another peaceably: and the enemies were prepared to take away Judas by force. 1 Ma. 7:29
And the thing was known to Judas that he was come to him with deceit: and he was much afraid of him, and would not see his face any more. 1 Ma. 7:30
And Nicanor knew that his counsel was discovered: and he went out to fight against Judas, near Capharsalama. 1 Ma. 7:31
But he mocked and despised them, and abused them: and he spoke proudly, 1 Ma. 7:34
And swore in anger, saying: Unless Judas and his army be delivered into my hands, as soon as ever I return in peace, I will burn this house. And he went out in a great rage. 1 Ma. 7:35
Even so destroy this army in our sight today and let the rest know that he hath spoken ill against thy sanctuary: and judge thou him according to his wickedness. 1 Ma. 7:42
And the armies joined battle on the thirteenth day of the month, Adar: and the army of Nicanor was defeated, and he himself was first slain in the battle. 1 Ma. 7:43
And they took the spoils of them for a booty, and they cut off Nicanor's head, and his right hand, which he had proudly stretched out, and they brought it, and hung it up over against Jerusalem. 1 Ma. 7:47
And he ordained that this day should be kept every year, being the thirteenth of the month of Adar 1 Ma. 7:49
And how they took him alive, and appointed to him, that both he and they that should reign after him, should pay a great tribute, and that he should give hostages, and that which was agreed upon, 1 Ma. 8:7
So Judas chose Eupolemus, the son of John, the son of Jacob, and Jason, the son of Eleazar, and he sent them to Rome to make a league of amity and confederacy with them: 1 Ma. 8:17
¤ In the mean time, when Demetrius heard that Nicanor and his army were fallen in battle, he sent again Bacchides and Alcimus into Judea; and the right wing of his army with them. 1 Ma. 9:1
And Judas saw that his army slipped away, and the battle pressed upon him, and his heart was cast down: because he had not time to gather them together, and he was discouraged. 1 Ma. 9:7
Then he said to them that remained: Let us arise, and go against our enemies, if we may be able to fight against them. 1 Ma. 9:8
And the right wing was discomfited by them, and he pursued them even to the mount Azotus. 1 Ma. 9:15
But the rest of the words of the wars of Judas, and of the noble acts that he did, and of his greatness, are not written: for they were very many. 1 Ma. 9:22
And they sought out, and made diligent search after the friends of Judas, and brought them to Bacchides, and he took vengeance of them, and abused them. 1 Ma. 9:26
And Bacchides understood it, and he came himself, with all his army, over the Jordan, on the sabbath day. 1 Ma. 9:34
And the children of Jambri came forth out of Madaba, and took John, and all that he had, and went away with them. 1 Ma. 9:36
And Bacchides heard it, and he came on the sabbath day even to the bank of the Jordan, with a great power. 1 Ma. 9:43
And Jonathan stretched forth his hand to strike Bacchides, but he turned away from him backwards. 1 Ma. 9:47
And he placed garrisons in them, that they might wage war against Israel: 1 Ma. 9:51
And he fortified the city of Bethsura, and Gazara, and the castle, and set garrisons in them, and provisions of victuals: 1 Ma. 9:52
And he took the sons of the chief men of the country for hostages, and put them in the castle in Jerusalem in custody. 1 Ma. 9:53
Now in the year one hundred and fifty-three, the second month, Alcimus commanded the walls of the inner court of the sanctuary to be thrown down, and the works of the prophets to be destroyed: and he began to destroy. 1 Ma. 9:54
At that time Alcimus was struck: and his works were hindered, and his mouth was stopped, and he was taken with a palsy, so that he could no more speak a word, nor give order concerning his house. 1 Ma. 9:55
And Bacchides saw that Alcimus was dead: and he returned to the king, and the land was quiet for two years. 1 Ma. 9:57
And all the wicked held a council, saying: Behold Jonathan, and they that are with him, dwell at ease and without fear: now, therefore, let us bring Bacchides hither, and he shall take them all in one night. 1 Ma. 9:58
And he arose to come with a great army: and he sent secretly letters to his adherents that were in Judea to seize upon Jonathan, and them that were with him: but they could not, for their design was known to them. 1 Ma. 9:60
And he apprehended of the men of the country, that were the principal authors of the mischief, fifty men, and he slew them. 1 Ma. 9:61
And Jonathan, and Simon, and they that were with him, retired into Bethbessen, which is in the desert: and he repaired the breaches thereof, and they fortified it. 1 Ma. 9:62
And when Bacchides knew it, he gathered together all his multitude: and sent word to them that were of Judea. 1 Ma. 9:63
And he came, and camped above Bethbessen, and fought against it many days, and made engines. 1 Ma. 9:64
And struck Odares, and his brethren, and the children of Phaseron, in their tents, and he began to slay, and to increase in forces. 1 Ma. 9:66
And they fought against Bacchides, and he was discomfited by them: and they afflicted him exceedingly, for his counsel, and his enterprise was in vain. 1 Ma. 9:68
And he was angry with the wicked men that had given him counsel to come into their country, and he slew many of them: and he purposed to return with the rest into their country. 1 Ma. 9:69
And Jonathan had knowledge of it, and he sent ambassadors to him to make peace with him, and to restore to him the prisoners. 1 Ma. 9:70
And he accepted it willingly, and did according to his words, and swore that he would do him no harm all the days of his life. 1 Ma. 9:71
And he restored to him the prisoners which he before had taken out of the land of Juda: and he returned, and went away into his own country, and he came no more into their borders. 1 Ma. 9:72
So the sword ceased from Israel: and Jonathan dwelt in Machmas, and Jonathan began there to judge the people, and he destroyed the wicked out of Israel. 1 Ma. 9:73
¤ Now in the hundred and sixtieth year, Alexander, the son of Antiochus, surnamed the Illustrious, came up and took Ptolemais, and they received him, and he reigned there. 1 Ma. 10:1
For he said: Let us first make a peace with him, before he make one with Alexander against us. 1 Ma. 10:4
For he will remember all the evils that we have done against him, and against his brother, and against his nation. 1 Ma. 10:5
And he gave him authority to gather together an army, and to make arms, and that he should be his confederate: and the hostages that were in the castle, he commanded to be delivered to him. 1 Ma. 10:6
And the hostages were delivered to Jonathan, and he restored them to their parents. 1 Ma. 10:9
And he ordered workmen to build the walls, and mount Sion round about with square stones for fortification: and so they did. 1 Ma. 10:11
And king Alexander heard of the promises that Demetrius had made Jonathan: and they told him of the battles, and the worthy acts that he and his brethren had done, and the labours that they had endured. 1 Ma. 10:15
And he said: Shall we find such another man? now, therefore, we will make him our friend and our confederate. 1 Ma. 10:16
So he wrote a letter, and sent it to him according to these words, saying: 1 Ma. 10:17
Now therefore, we make thee this day high priest of thy nation, and that thou be called the king's friend, (and he sent him a purple robe, and a crown of gold) and that thou be of one mind with us in our affairs, and keep friendship with us. 1 Ma. 10:20
Then Jonathan put on the holy vestment in the seventh month, in the year one hundred and threescore, at the feast day of the tabernacles: and he gathered together an army, and made a great number of arms. 1 Ma. 10:21
And he wrote to them in these words: King Demetrius to the nation of the Jews, greeting. 1 Ma. 10:25
I yield up also the power of the castle that is in Jerusalem, and I give it to the high priest, to place therein such men as he shall choose, to keep it. 1 Ma. 10:32
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 have joined battle with him, and both he and his army have been destroyed by us, and we are placed in the throne of his kingdom: 1 Ma. 10:53
So Ptolemee went out of Egypt, with Cleopatra his daughter, and he came to Ptolemais, in the hundred and sixty-second year. 1 Ma. 10:57
And king Alexander met him, and he gave him his daughter, Cleopatra: and he celebrated her marriage at Ptolemais with great glory, after the manner of kings. 1 Ma. 10:58
And king Alexander wrote to Jonathan, that he should come and meet him. 1 Ma. 10:59
And he went honourably to Ptolemais, and he met there the two kings, and he gave them much silver, and gold, and presents: and he found favour in their sight. 1 Ma. 10:60
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
And he said to his princes: Go out with him into the midst of the city, and make proclamation, that no man complain against him of any matter, and that no man trouble him for any manner of cause. 1 Ma. 10:63
And king Demetrius made Apollonius his general, who was governor of Celesyria: and he gathered together a great army, and came to Jamnia: and he sent to Jonathan, the high priest, 1 Ma. 10:69
Now when Jonathan heard the words of Apollonius, he was moved in his mind: and he chose ten thousand men, and went out of Jerusalem, and Simon, his brother, met him to help him. 1 Ma. 10:74
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 Apollonius heard of it, and he took three thousand horsemen, and a great army. 1 Ma. 10:77
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
But Jonathan set fire to Azotus, and the cities that were round about it, and took the spoils of them and the temple of Dagon: and all them that were fled into it, he burnt with fire. 1 Ma. 10:84
And it came to pass, when Alexander, the king heard these words, that he honoured Jonathan yet more. 1 Ma. 10:88
And he sent him a buckle of gold, as the custom is, to be given to such as are of the royal blood. And he gave him Accaron, and all the borders thereof, in possession. 1 Ma. 10:89
¤ And the king of Egypt gathered together an army, like the sand that lieth upon the sea shore, and many ships: and he sought to get the kingdom of Alexander by deceit, and join it to his own kingdom. 1 Ma. 11:1
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
Now when Ptolemee entered into the cities, he put garrisons of soldiers in every city. 1 Ma. 11:3
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 Jonathan went with the king as far as the river, called Eleutherus: and he returned into Jerusalem. 1 Ma. 11:7
And king Ptolemee got the dominion of the cities by the sea side, even to Seleucia, and he devised evil designs against Alexander. 1 Ma. 11:8
And he sent ambassadors to Demetrius, saying: Come, let us make a league between us, and I will give thee my daughter whom Alexander hath, and thou shalt reign in the kingdom of thy father. 1 Ma. 11:9
For I repent that I have given him my daughter: for he hath sought to kill me. 1 Ma. 11:10
And he slandered him, because he coveted his kingdom, 1 Ma. 11:11
And he took away his daughter, and gave her to Demetrius, and alienated himself from Alexander, and his enmities were made manifest. 1 Ma. 11:12
And when Alexander heard of it, he came to give him battle: and king Ptolemee brought forth his army, and met him with a strong power, and put him to flight. 1 Ma. 11:15
And when he heard it, he was angry: and forthwith he came to Ptolemais, and wrote to Jonathan that he should not besiege the castle, but should come to him in haste, and speak to him. 1 Ma. 11:22
But when Jonathan heard this, he bade them besiege it still: and he chose some of the ancients of Israel, and of the priests, and put himself in danger 1 Ma. 11:23
And he took gold, and silver, and raiment, and many other presents, and went to the king to Ptolemais and he found favour in his sight. 1 Ma. 11:24
And the king treated him as his predecessors had done before: and he exalted him in the sight of all his friends. 1 Ma. 11:26
And he confirmed him in the high priesthood and all the honours he had before, and he made him the chief of his friends. 1 Ma. 11:27
And Jonathan requested of the king that he would make Judea free from tribute, and the three governments, and Samaria, and the confines thereof: and he promised him three hundred talents. 1 Ma. 11:28
And the king consented: and he wrote letters to Jonathan of all these things, to this effect. 1 Ma. 11:29
And king Demetrius, seeing that the land was quiet before him, and nothing resisted him, sent away all his forces, every man to his own place, except the foreign army, which he had drawn together from the islands of the nations: so all the troops of his fathers hated him. 1 Ma. 11:38
And he pressed him much to deliver him to him, that he might be king in his father's place: and he told him all that Demetrius had done, and how his soldiers hated him. And he remained there many days. 1 Ma. 11:40
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 he falsified all whatsoever he had said, and alienated himself from Jonathan, and did not reward him according to the benefits he had received from him, but gave him great trouble. 1 Ma. 11:53
And he sent him vessels of gold for his service, and he gave him leave to drink in gold, and to be clothed in purple, and to wear a golden buckle: 1 Ma. 11:58
And he made his brother, Simon, governor, from the borders of Tyre even to the confines of Egypt. 1 Ma. 11:59
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 the men of Gaza made supplication to Jonathan, and he gave them the right hand: and he took their sons for hostages, and sent them to Jerusalem: and he went through the country, as far as Damascus. 1 Ma. 11:62
And he went against them: but left his brother, Simon, in the country. 1 Ma. 11:64
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 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 Jonathan turned again to them to battle, and he put them to flight, and they fought. 1 Ma. 11:72
¤ And Jonathan saw that the time served him, and he chose certain men, and sent them to Rome, to confirm and to renew the amity with them: 1 Ma. 12:1
And he sent letters to the Spartans, and to other places, according to the same form. 1 Ma. 12:2
And this is the copy of the letter which he had sent to Onias: 1 Ma. 12:19
So he went out from Jerusalem, and met them in the land of Amath: for he gave them no time to enter into his country. 1 Ma. 12:25
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 when the sun was set, Jonathan commanded his men to watch, and to be in arms all night long ready to fight, and he set sentinels round about the camp. 1 Ma. 12:27
And Jonathan turned upon the Arabians, that are called Zabadeans: and he defeated them, and took the spoils of them. 1 Ma. 12:31
And he went forward, and came to Damascus, and passed through all that country. 1 Ma. 12:32
Simon also went forth, and came as far as Ascalon, and the neighbouring fortresses, and he turned aside to Joppe, and took possession of it, 1 Ma. 12:33
(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 Jonathan came back, and called together the ancients of the people; and he took a resolution with them to build fortresses in Judea, 1 Ma. 12:35
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
Fearing lest Jonathan would not suffer him, but would fight against him: he sought to seize upon him, and to kill him. So he rose up and came to Bethsan. 1 Ma. 12:40
Now when Tryphon saw that Jonathan came with a great army, he durst not stretch forth his hand against him. 1 Ma. 12:42
But received him with honour, and commended him to all his friends, and gave him presents: and he commanded his troops to obey him, as himself. 1 Ma. 12:43
And he said to Jonathan: Why hast thou troubled all the people, whereas we have no war? 1 Ma. 12:44
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
But he kept with him three thousand men: of whom he sent two thousand into Galilee, and one thousand went with him. 1 Ma. 12:47
And seeing that the people was in dread and in fear, he went up to Jerusalem, and assembled the people, 1 Ma. 13:2
So gathering together all the men of war, he made haste to finish all the walls of Jerusalem, and he fortified it round about. 1 Ma. 13:10
And he sent Jonathan, the son of Absalom, and with him a new army, into Joppe, and he cast out them that were in it, and himself remained there. 1 Ma. 13:11
And when Tryphon understood that Simon was risen up in the place of his brother, Jonathan, and that he meant to join battle with him, he sent messengers to him, 1 Ma. 13:14
Saying: We have detained thy brother, Jonathan, for the money that he owed in the king's account, by reason of the affairs which he had the management of. 1 Ma. 13:15
But now send a hundred talents of silver, and his two sons for hostages, that when he is set at liberty he may not revolt from us, and we will release him. 1 Ma. 13:16
Now Simon knew that he spoke deceitfully to him; nevertheless, he ordered the money and the children to be sent, lest he should bring upon himself a great hatred of the people of Israel, who might have said: 1 Ma. 13:17
Because he sent not the money and the children therefore is he lost. 1 Ma. 13:18
So he sent the children and the hundred talents and he lied, and did not let Jonathan go. 1 Ma. 13:19
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 Tryphon made ready all his horsemen to come that night; but there fell a very great snow, and he came not into the country of Galaad. 1 Ma. 13:22
And when he approached to Bascama, he slew Jonathan and his sons there. 1 Ma. 13:23
And he set up seven pyramids, one against another, for his father, and his mother, and his four brethren: 1 Ma. 13:28
And round about these he set great pillars; and upon the pillars, arms, for a perpetual memory; and by the arms, ships carved, which might be seen by all that sailed on the sea. 1 Ma. 13:29
This is the sepulchre that he made in Modin, even unto this day. 1 Ma. 13:30
But Tryphon, when he was upon a journey with the young king, Antiochus, treacherously slew him. 1 Ma. 13:31
And he reigned in his place, and put on the crown of Asia: and brought great evils upon the land. 1 Ma. 13:32
And Simon built up the strong holds of Judea, fortifying them with high towers, and great walls, and gates and bars: and he stored up victuals in the fortresses. 1 Ma. 13:33
And Simon chose men, and sent to king Demetrius, to the end that he should grant an immunity to the land; for all that Tryphon did, was to spoil. 1 Ma. 13:34
In those days Simon besieged Gaza, and camped round about it, and he made engines, and set them to the city, and he struck one tower, and took it. 1 Ma. 13:43
And Simon being moved, did not destroy them but yet he cast them out of the city, and cleansed the houses wherein there had been idols, and then he entered into it with hymns, blessing the Lord: 1 Ma. 13:47
And having cast out of it all uncleanness, he placed in it men that should observe the law: and he fortified it, and made it his habitation. 1 Ma. 13:48
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 he ordained that these days should be kept every year with gladness. 1 Ma. 13:52
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 Simon saw that John, his son, was a valiant man for war: and he made him captain of all the forces: and he dwelt in Gazara. 1 Ma. 13:54
And Arsaces, the king of Persia and Media, heard that Demetrius was entered within his borders, and he sent one of his princes to take him alive, and bring him to him. 1 Ma. 14:2
And he went, and defeated the army of Demetrius: and took him, and brought him to Arsaces, and he put him into custody. 1 Ma. 14:3
And all the land of Juda was at rest all the days of Simon, and he sought the good of his nation: and his power, and his glory pleased them well all his days. 1 Ma. 14:4
And with all his glory he took Joppe for a haven, and made an entrance to the isles of the sea. 1 Ma. 14:5
And he enlarged the bounds of his nation, and made himself master of the country. 1 Ma. 14:6
And he gathered together a great number of captives, and had the dominion of Gazara, and of Bethsura, and of the castle: and took away all uncleanness out of it, and there was none that resisted him. 1 Ma. 14:7
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
He made peace in the land, and Israel rejoiced with great joy. 1 Ma. 14:11
And he strengthened all those of his people that were brought low, and he sought the law, and took away every unjust and wicked man. 1 Ma. 14:14
He glorified the sanctuary, and multiplied the vessels of the holy places. 1 Ma. 14:15
For he hath restored his brethren, and hath driven away in fight the enemies of Israel from them: and they decreed him liberty, and registered it in tables of brass, and set it upon pillars in mount Sion. 1 Ma. 14:26
And Jonathan gathered together his nation, and was made their high priest, and he was laid to his people. 1 Ma. 14:30
And he fortified the cities of Judea and Bethsura that lieth in the borders of Judea, where the armour of the enemies was before: and he placed there a garrison of Jews. 1 Ma. 14:33
And he fortified Joppe, which lieth by the sea: and Gazara, which bordereth upon Azotus, wherein the enemies dwelt before, and he placed Jews here: and furnished them with all things convenient for their reparation. 1 Ma. 14:34
And the people seeing the acts of Simon, and to what glory he meant to bring his nation, made him their prince and high priest, because he had done all these things, and for the justice and faith which he kept to his nation, and for that he sought by all means to advance his people. 1 Ma. 14:35
And he placed therein Jews for the defence of the country, and of the city, and he raised up the walls of Jerusalem. 1 Ma. 14:37
According to these things he made him his friend, and glorified him with great glory. 1 Ma. 14:39
For he had heard that the Romans had called the Jews their friends, and confederates, and brethren, and that they had received Simon's ambassadors with honour: 1 Ma. 14:40
And that the Jews, and their priests, had consented that he should be their prince and high priest for ever, till there should arise a faithful prophet: 1 Ma. 14:41
And that he should be chief over them, and that he should have the charge of the sanctuary, and that he should appoint rulers over their works, and over the country, and over the armour, and over the strong holds; 1 Ma. 14:42
And that he should have care of the holy places; and that he should be obeyed by all, and that all the writings in the country should be made in his name; and that he should be clothed with purple and gold: 1 Ma. 14:43
And king Antiochus pursued after him, and he fled along by the sea coast and came to Dora. 1 Ma. 15:11
For he perceived that evils were gathered together upon him, and his troops had forsaken him. 1 Ma. 15:12
And he invested the city, and the ships drew near by sea: and they annoyed the city by land, and by sea, and suffered none to come in, or to go out. 1 Ma. 15:14
If, therefore, any pestilent men are fled out of their country to you, deliver them to Simon, the high priest, that he may punish them according to their law. 1 Ma. 15:21
But king Antiochus moved his camp to Dora the second time, assaulting it continually, and making engines: and he shut up Tryphon, that he could not go out. 1 Ma. 15:25
And he would not receive them, but broke all the covenant that he had made with him before, and alienated himself from him. 1 Ma. 15:27
And he sent to him Athenobius, one of his friends, to treat with him, saying: You hold Joppe and Gazara, and the castle that is in Jerusalem, which are cities of my kingdom: 1 Ma. 15:28
So Athenobius, the king's friend came to Jerusalem, and saw the glory of Simon and his magnificence in gold, and silver, and his great equipage, and he was astonished, and told him the king's words. 1 Ma. 15:32
But returning in a rage to the king, made report to him of these words, and of the glory of Simon, and of all that he had seen, and the king was exceeding angry. 1 Ma. 15:36
And he commanded him to march with his army towards Judea: and he commanded him to build up Gedor, and to fortify the gates of the city, and to war against the people. But the king himself pursued after Tryphon. 1 Ma. 15:39
And he placed there horsemen, and an army: that they might issue forth, and make incursions upon the ways of Judea, as the king had commanded him. 1 Ma. 15:41
Then he chose out of the country twenty thousand fighting men, and horsemen, and they went forth against Cendebeus: and they rested in Modin. 1 Ma. 16:4
And he and his people pitched their camp over against them, and he saw that the people were afraid to go over the river, so he went over first: then the men seeing him, passed over after him. 1 Ma. 16:6
And he divided the people, and set the horsemen in the midst of the footmen: but the horsemen of the enemies were very numerous. 1 Ma. 16:7
At that time, Judas, John's brother, was wounded: but John pursued after them, till he came to Cedron, which he had built: 1 Ma. 16:9
And they fled even to the towers that were in the fields of Azotus, and he burnt them with fire. And there fell of them two thousand men, and he returned into Judea in peace. 1 Ma. 16:10
Now Ptolemee, the son of Abobus, was appointed captain in the plain of Jericho, and he had abundance of silver and gold. 1 Ma. 16:11
For he was son in law of the high priest. 1 Ma. 16:12
And his heart was lifted up, and he designed to make himself master of the country, and he purposed treachery against Simon and his sons, to destroy them. 1 Ma. 16:13
Now Simon, as he was going through the cities that were in the country of Judea, and taking care for the good ordering of them, went down to Jericho, he and Mathathias and Judas, his sons, in the year one hundred and seventy-seven, the eleventh month: the same is the month Sabath. 1 Ma. 16:14
And the son of Abobus received them deceitfully into a little fortress, that is called Doch, which he had built: and he made them a great feast, and hid men there. 1 Ma. 16:15
And he committed a great treachery in Israel, and rendered evil for good. 1 Ma. 16:17
And Ptolemee wrote these things, and sent to the king that he should send him an army to aid him, and he would deliver him the country, and their cities, and tributes. 1 Ma. 16:18
And he sent others to Gazara to kill John: and to the tribunes he sent letters to come to him, and that he would give them silver, and gold, and gifts. 1 Ma. 16:19
And he sent others to take Jerusalem, and the mountain of the temple. 1 Ma. 16:20
Now one running before, told John in Gazara, that his father and his brethren were slain, and that he hath sent men to kill thee also. 1 Ma. 16:21
But when he heard it, he was exceedingly afraid: and he apprehended the men that came to kill him, and he put them to death: for he knew that they sought to make him away. 1 Ma. 16:22
And as concerning the rest of the acts of John, and his wars, and the worthy deeds, which he bravely achieved, and the building of the walls, which he made, and the things that he did: 1 Ma. 16:23
Behold, these are written in the book of the days of his priesthood, from the time that he was made high priest after his father. 1 Ma. 16:24
May God be gracious to you, and remember his covenant that he made with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, his faithful servants: 2 Ma. 1:2
May he open your heart in his law, and in his commandments, and send you peace. 2 Ma. 1:4
May he hear your prayers, and be reconciled unto you, and never forsake you in the evil time. 2 Ma. 1:5
For he made numbers of men swarm out of Persia, that have fought against us, and the holy city. 2 Ma. 1:12
For when the leader himself was in Persia, and with him a very great army, he fell in the temple of Nanea, being deceived by the counsel of the priests of Nanea. 2 Ma. 1:13
For Antiochus, with his friends, came to the place as though he would marry her, and that he might receive great sums of money under the title of a dowry. 2 Ma. 1:14
And when the priests of Nanea had set it forth, and he with a small company had entered into the compass of the temple, they shut the temple, 2 Ma. 1:15
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
Then he bade them draw it up, and bring it to him: and the priest, Nehemias, commanded the sacrifices that were laid on, to be sprinkled with the same water, both the wood, and the things that were laid upon it. 2 Ma. 1:21
And the king considering, and diligently examining the matter, made a temple for it, that he might prove what had happened. 2 Ma. 1:34
And when he had proved it, he gave the priests many goods, and divers presents, and he took and distributed them to them with his own hand. 2 Ma. 1:35
¤ Now it is found in the descriptions of Jeremias, the prophet, that he commanded them that went into captivity, to take the fire, as it hath been signified, and how he gave charge to them that were carried away into captivity. 2 Ma. 2:1
And how he gave them the law, that they should not forget the commandments of the Lord, and that they should not err in their minds, seeing the idols of gold, and silver, and the ornaments of them. 2 Ma. 2:2
And with other such like speeches, he exhorted them that they would not remove the law from their heart. 2 Ma. 2:3
It was also contained in the same writing, how the prophet, being warned by God, commanded that the tabernacle and the ark should accompany him, till he came forth to the mountain where Moses went up, and saw the inheritance of God. 2 Ma. 2:4
And when Jeremias came thither he found a hollow cave: and he carried in thither the tabernacle, and the ark, and the altar of incense, and so stopped the door. 2 Ma. 2:5
And when Jeremias perceived it, he blamed them, saying: The place shall be unknown, till God gather together the congregation of the people, and receive them to mercy. 2 Ma. 2:7
And then the Lord will shew these things, and the majesty of the Lord shall appear, and there shall be a cloud as it was also shewed to Moses, and he shewed it when Solomon prayed that the place might be sanctified to the great God. 2 Ma. 2:8
For he treated wisdom in a magnificent manner: and like a wise man, he offered the sacrifice of the dedication, and of the finishing of the temple. 2 Ma. 2:9
And these same things were set down in the memoirs, and commentaries of Nehemias: and how he made a library, and gathered together out of the countries, the books both of the prophets, and of David, and the epistles of the kings, and concerning the holy gifts. 2 Ma. 2:13
As he promised in the law, will shortly have mercy upon us, and will gather us together from every land under heaven into the holy place. 2 Ma. 2:18
For he hath delivered us out of great perils, and hath cleansed the place. 2 Ma. 2:19
For as the master builder of a new house must have care of the whole building: but he that taketh care to paint it, must seek out fit things for the adorning of it: so must it be judged of us. 2 Ma. 2:30
And when he could not overcome Onias, he went to Apollonius, the son of Tharseas, who at that time was governor of Celesyria, and Phenicia: 2 Ma. 3:5
Now when Apollonius had given the king notice concerning the money that he was told of, he called for Heliodorus, who had the charge over his affairs, and sent him with commission to bring him the foresaid money. 2 Ma. 3:7
And when he was come to Jerusalem, and had been courteously received in the city by the high priest, he told him what information had been given concerning the money: and declared the cause for which he was come: and asked if these things were so indeed. 2 Ma. 3:9
But he, by reason of the orders he had received from the king, said, that by all means the money must be carried to the king. 2 Ma. 3:13
So on the day he had appointed, Heliodorus entered in to order this matter. But there was no small terror throughout the whole city. 2 Ma. 3:14
And the priests prostrated themselves before the altar in their priests' vestments, and called upon him from heaven, who made the law concerning things given to be kept, that he would preserve them safe, for them that had deposited them. 2 Ma. 3:15
For the man was so compassed with sadness and horror of the body, that it was manifest to them that beheld him, what sorrow he had in his heart. 2 Ma. 3:17
But Heliodorus executed that which he had resolved on, himself being present in the same place with his guard about the treasury. 2 Ma. 3:23
For there appeared to them a horse, with a terrible rider upon him, adorned with a very rich covering: and he ran fiercely and struck Heliodorus with his fore feet, and he that sat upon him seemed to have armour of gold. 2 Ma. 3:25
So he that came with many servants, and all his guard, into the aforesaid treasury, was carried out, no one being able to help him, the manifest power of God being known. 2 Ma. 3:28
And he indeed, by the power of God, lay speechless, and without all hope of recovery. 2 Ma. 3:29
But they praised the Lord, because he had glorified his place: and the temple, that a little before was full of fear and trouble, when the Almighty Lord appeared, was filled with joy and gladness. 2 Ma. 3:30
Then some of the friends of Heliodorus forthwith begged of Onias, that he would call upon the Most High to grant him his life, who was ready to give up the ghost. 2 Ma. 3:31
So Heliodorus, after he had offered a sacrifice to God, and made great vows to him, that had granted him life, and given thanks to Onias, taking his troops with him, returned to the king. 2 Ma. 3:35
And he testified to all men the works of the great God, which he had seen with his own eyes. 2 Ma. 3:36
And when the king asked Heliodorus, who might be a fit man to be sent yet once more to Jerusalem, he said: 2 Ma. 3:37
If thou hast any enemy, or traitor to thy king dom, send him thither, and thou shalt receive him again scourged, if so be he escape: for there is undoubtedly in that place a certain power of God. 2 Ma. 3:38
For he that hath his dwelling in the heavens, is the visitor and protector of that place, and he striketh and destroyeth them that come to do evil to it. 2 Ma. 3:39
¤ But Simon, of whom we spoke before, who was the betrayer of the money, and of his country, spoke ill of Onias, as though he had incited Heliodorus to do these things, and had been the promoter of evils: 2 Ma. 4:1
And he presumed to call him a traitor to the kingdom, who provided for the city, and defended his nation, and was zealous for the law of God. 2 Ma. 4:2
For he saw that, except the king took care, it was impossible that matters should be settled in peace, or that Simon would cease from his folly. 2 Ma. 4:6
Besides this he promised also a hundred and fifty more, if he might have license to set him up a place for exercise, and a place for youth, and to entitle them that were at Jerusalem, Antiochians. 2 Ma. 4:9
Which when the king had granted, and he had gotten the rule into his hands, forthwith he began to bring over his countrymen to the fashion of the heathens. 2 Ma. 4:10
And abolishing those things, which had been decreed of special favour by the kings in behalf of the Jews, by the means of John, the father of that Eupolemus, who went ambassador to Rome to make amity and alliance, he disannulled the lawful ordinances of the citizens, and brought in fashions that were perverse. 2 Ma. 4:11
For he had the boldness to set up, under the very castle, a place of exercise, and to put all the choicest youths in brothel houses. 2 Ma. 4:12
Now when Apollonius, the son of Mnestheus was sent into Egypt to treat with the nobles of king Philometor, and Antiochus understood that he was wholly excluded from the affairs of the kingdom, consulting his own interest, he departed thence and came to Joppe, and from thence to Jerusalem. 2 Ma. 4:21
Where he was received in a magnificent manner by Jason, and the city, and came in with torch lights, and with praises, and from thence he returned with his army into Phenicia. 2 Ma. 4:22
But he being recommended to the king, when he had magnified the appearance of his power, got the high priesthood for himself, by offering more than Jason by three hundred talents of silver. 2 Ma. 4:24
So having received the king's mandate, he returned, bringing nothing worthy of the high priesthood: but having the mind of a cruel tyrant, and the rage of a savage beast. 2 Ma. 4:25
So Menelaus got the principality: but as for the money he had promised to the king, he took no care, when Sostratus, the governor of the castle, called for it. 2 Ma. 4:27
Then Menelaus supposing that he had found a convenient time, having stolen certain vessels of gold out of the temple, gave them to Andronicus, and others he had sold at Tyre, and in the neighbouring cities: 2 Ma. 4:32
Which when Onias understood most certainly, he reproved him, keeping himself in a safe place at Antioch, beside Daphne. 2 Ma. 4:33
Whereupon Menelaus coming to Andronicus, desired him to kill Onias. And he went to Onias, and gave him his right hand with an oath, and (though he were suspected by him) persuaded him to come forth out of the sanctuary, and immediately slew him, without any regard to justice. 2 Ma. 4:34
And being inflamed to anger, he commanded Andronicus to be stripped of his purple, and to be led about through all the city: and that in the same place wherein he had committed the impiety against Onias, the sacrilegious wretch should be put to death, the Lord repaying him his deserved punishment. 2 Ma. 4:38
So Ptolemee went to the king in a certain court where he was, as it were to cool himself, and brought him to be of another mind: 2 Ma. 4:46
But Jason slew his countrymen without mercy, not considering that prosperity against one's own kindred is a very great evil, thinking they had been enemies, and not citizens, whom he conquered. 2 Ma. 5:6
Yet he did not get the principality, but received confusion at the end, for the reward of his treachery, and fled again into the country of the Ammonites. 2 Ma. 5:7
At the last, having been shut up by Aretas, the king of the Arabians, in order for his destruction, flying from city to city, hated by all men, as a forsaker of the laws and execrable, as an enemy of his country and countrymen, he was thrust out into Egypt: 2 Ma. 5:8
And he that had driven many out of their country perished in a strange land, going to Lacedemon, as if for kindred sake he should have refuge there: 2 Ma. 5:9
But he that had cast out many unburied, was himself cast forth both unlamented and unburied, neither having foreign burial, nor being partaker of the sepulchre of his fathers. 2 Ma. 5:10
Now when these things were done, the king suspected that the Jews would forsake the alliance: whereupon departing out of Egypt with a furious mind, he took the city by force of arms, 2 Ma. 5:11
But this was not enough, he presumed also to enter into the temple, the most holy in all the world Menelaus, that traitor to the laws, and to his country, being his guide. 2 Ma. 5:15
And taking in his wicked hands the holy vessels, which were given by other kings and cities, for the ornament and the glory of the place, he unworthily handled and profaned them. 2 Ma. 5:16
Otherwise had they not been involved in many sins, as Heliodorus, who was sent by king Seleucus to rob the treasury, so this man also, as soon as he had come, had been forthwith scourged, and put back from his presumption. 2 Ma. 5:18
So when Antiochus had taken away out of the temple a thousand and eight hundred talents, he went back in all haste to Antioch, thinking through pride that he might now make the land navigable, and the sea passable on foot: such was the haughtiness of his mind. 2 Ma. 5:21
He left also governors to afflict the people: at Jerusalem, Philip, a Phrygian by birth, but in manners more barbarous than he that set him there: 2 Ma. 5:22
And whereas he was set against the Jews, he sent that hateful prince, Apollonius, with an army of two and twenty thousand men, commanding him to kill all that were of perfect age, and to sell the women and the younger sort. 2 Ma. 5:24
Who, when he was come to Jerusalem, pretending peace, rested till the holy day of the sabbath: and then the Jews keeping holiday, he commanded his men to take arms. 2 Ma. 5:25
And he slew all that were come forth to flee: and running through the city with armed men, he destroyed a very great multitude. 2 Ma. 5:26
For, not as with other nations, (whom the Lord patiently expecteth, that when the day of judgment shall come, he may punish them in the fulness of their sins:) 2 Ma. 6:14
Doth he also deal with us, so as to suffer our sins to come to their height, and then take vengeance on us. 2 Ma. 6:15
And therefore he never withdraweth his mercy from us: but though he chastise his people with adversity he forsaketh them not. 2 Ma. 6:16
But he, choosing rather a most glorious death than a hateful life, went forward voluntarily to the torment. 2 Ma. 6:19
And considering in what manner he was to come to it, patiently bearing, he determined not to do any unlawful things for the love of life. 2 Ma. 6:20
But they that stood by, being moved with wicked pity, for the old friendship they had with the man, taking him aside, desired that flesh might be brought which it was lawful for him to eat, that he might make as if he had eaten, as the king had commanded, of the flesh of the sacrifice: 2 Ma. 6:21
That by so doing he might be delivered from death; and for the sake of their old friendship with the man, they did him this courtesy. 2 Ma. 6:22
But he began to consider the dignity of his age, and his ancient years, and the inbred honour of his grey head, and his good life and conversation from a child; and he answered without delay, according to the ordinances of the holy law made by God, saying, that he would rather be sent into the other world. 2 Ma. 6:23
For it doth not become our age, said he, to dissemble: whereby many young persons might think that Eleazar, at the age of fourscore and ten years, was gone over to the life of the heathens: 2 Ma. 6:24
And I shall leave an example of fortitude to young men, if with a ready mind and constancy I suffer an honourable death, for the most venerable and most holy laws. And having spoken thus, he was forthwith carried to execution. 2 Ma. 6:28
And they that led him, and had been a little before more mild, were changed to wrath for the words he had spoken, which they thought were uttered out of arrogancy. 2 Ma. 6:29
But when he was now ready to die with the stripes, he groaned: and said: O Lord, who hast the holy knowledge, thou knowest manifestly that whereas I might be delivered from death, I suffer grievous pains in body: but in soul am well content to suffer these things, because I fear thee. 2 Ma. 6:30
He commanded to cut out the tongue of him that had spoken first: and the skin of his head being drawn off, to chop off also the extremities of his hands and feet, the rest of his brethren and his mother looking on. 2 Ma. 7:4
And when he was now maimed in all parts, he commanded him, being yet alive, to be brought to the fire, and to be fried in the fryingpan: and while he was suffering therein long torments, the rest, together with the mother, exhorted one another to die manfully, 2 Ma. 7:5
Saying: The Lord God will look upon the truth, and will take pleasure in us, as Moses declared in the profession of the canticle; And in his servants he will take pleasure. 2 Ma. 7:6
So when the first was dead after this manner, they brought the next to make him a mocking stock: and when they had pulled off the skin of his head with the hair, they asked him if he would eat, before he were punished throughout the whole body in every limb. 2 Ma. 7:7
But he answered in his own language, and said: I will not do it. Wherefore he also, in the next place, received the torments of the first: 2 Ma. 7:8
And when he was at the last gasp, he said thus: Thou indeed, O most wicked man, destroyest us out of this present life: but the King of the world will raise us up, who die for his laws, in the resurrection of eternal life. 2 Ma. 7:9
After him the third was made a mocking-stock, and when he was required, he quickly put forth his tongue, and courageously stretched out his hands: 2 Ma. 7:10
So that the king, and they that were with him, wondered at the young man's courage, because he esteemed the torments as nothing. 2 Ma. 7:12
And after he was thus dead, they tormented the fourth in the like manner. 2 Ma. 7:13
And when he was now ready to die, he spoke thus: It is better, being put to death by men, to look for hope from God, to be raised up again by him; for, as to thee, thou shalt have no resurrection unto life. 2 Ma. 7:14
And when they had brought the fifth, they tormented him. But he, looking upon the king, 2 Ma. 7:15
But stay patiently a while, and thou shalt see his great power, in what manner he will torment thee and thy seed. 2 Ma. 7:17
After him they brought the sixth, and he being ready to die, spoke thus: Be not deceived without cause: for we suffer these things for ourselves, having sinned against our God, and things worthy of admiration are done to us: 2 Ma. 7:18
But the Creator of the world, that formed the nativity of man, and that found out the origin of all, he will restore to you again, in his mercy, both breath and life, as now you despise yourselves for the sake of his laws. 2 Ma. 7:23
Now Antiochus, thinking himself despised, and withal despising the voice of the upbraider, when the youngest was yet alive, did not only exhort him by words, but also assured him with an oath, that he would make him a rich and a happy man, and, if he would turn from the laws of his fathers, would take him for a friend, and furnish him with things necessary. 2 Ma. 7:24
And when he had exhorted her with many words she promised that she would counsel her son. 2 Ma. 7:26
And though the Lord, our God, is angry with us a little while, for our chastisement and correction, yet he will be reconciled again to his servants. 2 Ma. 7:33
But I, like my brethren, offer up my life and my body for the laws of our fathers: calling upon God to be speedily merciful to our nation, and that thou by torments and stripes mayst confess that he alone is God. 2 Ma. 7:37
Then the king being incensed with anger, raged against him more cruelly than all the rest, taking it grievously that he was mocked. 2 Ma. 7:39
And they called upon the Lord, that he would look upon his people that was trodden down by all and would have pity on the temple, that was defiled by the wicked: 2 Ma. 8:2
That he would have pity also upon the city that was destroyed, that was ready to be made even with the ground, and would hear the voice of the blood that cried to him: 2 Ma. 8:3
That he would remember also the most unjust deaths of innocent children, and the blasphemies offered to his name, and would shew his indignation on this occasion. 2 Ma. 8:4
Now when Machabeus had gathered a multitude, he could not be withstood by the heathens: for the wrath of the Lord was turned into mercy. 2 Ma. 8:5
So coming unawares upon the towns and cities, he set them on fire, and taking possession of the most commodious places, he made no small slaughter of the enemies: 2 Ma. 8:6
And especially in the nights he went upon these expeditions, and the fame of his valour was spread abroad every where. 2 Ma. 8:7
And he with all speed sent Nicanor, the son of Patroclus, one of his special friends, giving him no fewer than twenty thousand armed men of different nations, to root out the whole race of the Jews, joining also with him Gorgias, a good soldier, and of great experience in matters of war. 2 Ma. 8:9
Wherefore he sent immediately to the cities upon the sea coast, to invite men together to buy up the Jewish slaves, promising that they should have ninety slaves for one talent, not reflecting on the vengeance which was to follow him from the Almighty. 2 Ma. 8:11
Now when Judas found that Nicanor was coming, he imparted to the Jews that were with him, that the enemy was at hand. 2 Ma. 8:12
Others sold all that they had left, and withal besought the Lord, that he would deliver them from the wicked Nicanor, who had sold them before he came near them: 2 Ma. 8:14
And if not for their sakes, yet for the covenant that he had made with their fathers, and for the sake of his holy and glorious name that was invoked upon them. 2 Ma. 8:15
For, said he, they trust in their weapons, and in their boldness: but we trust in the Almighty Lord, who at a beck can utterly destroy both them that come against us, and the whole world. 2 Ma. 8:18
Moreover, he put them in mind also of the helps their fathers had received from God: and how, under Sennacherib, a hundred and eighty-five thousand had been destroyed. 2 Ma. 8:19
So he appointed his brethren captains over each division of his army; Simon, and Joseph, and Jonathan, giving to each one fifteen hundred men. 2 Ma. 8:22
And after the holy book had been read to them by Esdras, and he had given them for a watchword, The help of God: himself leading the first band, he joined battle with Nicanor: 2 Ma. 8:23
Being, through the help of the Lord, brought down by them, of whom he had made no account, laying aside his garment of glory, fleeing through the midland country, he came alone to Antioch, being rendered very unhappy by the destruction of his army. 2 Ma. 8:35
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
For he had entered into the city called Persepolis, and attempted to rob the temple, and to oppress the city, but the multitude running together to arms, put them to flight: and so it fell out that Antiochus being put to flight, returned with disgrace. 2 Ma. 9:2
Now when he was come about Ecbatana, he received the news of what had happened to Nicanor and Timotheus. 2 Ma. 9:3
And swelling with anger, he thought to revenge upon the Jews the injury done by them that had put him to flight. And therefore he commanded his chariot to be driven, without stopping in his journey, the judgment of heaven urging him forward, because he had spoken so proudly, that he would come to Jerusalem, and make it a common burying place of the Jews. 2 Ma. 9:4
But the Lord, the God of Israel, that seeth all things, struck him with an incurable and an invisible plague. For as soon as he had ended these words, a dreadful pain in his bowels came upon him, and bitter torments of the inner parts. 2 Ma. 9:5
And indeed very justly, seeing he had tormented the bowels of others with many and new torments, albeit he by no means ceased from his malice. 2 Ma. 9:6
Moreover, being filled with pride, breathing out fire in his rage against the Jews, and commanding the matter to be hastened, it happened as he was going with violence, that he fell from the chariot, so that his limbs were much pained by a grievous bruising of the body. 2 Ma. 9:7
Thus he that seemed to himself to command even the waves of the sea, being proud above the condition of man, and to weigh the heights of the mountains in a balance, now being cast down to the ground, was carried in a litter, bearing witness to the manifest power of God in himself: 2 Ma. 9:8
So that worms swarmed out of the body of this man, and whilst he lived in sorrow and pain, his flesh fell off, and the filthiness of his smell was noisome to the army. 2 Ma. 9:9
And the man that thought a little before he could reach to the stars of heaven, no man could endure to carry, for the intolerable stench. 2 Ma. 9:10
And by this means, being brought from his great pride, he began to come to the knowledge of himself, being admonished by the scourge of God, his pains increasing every moment. 2 Ma. 9:11
And when he himself could not now abide his own stench, he spoke thus: It is just to be subject to God, and that a mortal man should not equal himself to God. 2 Ma. 9:12
Then this wicked man prayed to the Lord, of whom he was not like to obtain mercy. 2 Ma. 9:13
And the city, to which he was going in haste to lay it even with the ground, and to make it a common burying place, he now desireth to make free: 2 Ma. 9:14
And the Jews, whom he said he would not account worthy to be so much as buried, but would give them up to be devoured by the birds and wild beasts, and would utterly destroy them with their children, he now promiseth to make equal with the Athenians. 2 Ma. 9:15
The holy temple also, which before he had spoiled, he promised to adorn with goodly gifts, and to multiply the holy vessels, and to allow out of his revenues the charges pertaining to the sacrifices. 2 Ma. 9:16
Yea also, that he would become a Jew himself, and would go through every place of the earth, and declare the power of God. 2 Ma. 9:17
But his pains not ceasing, (for the just judgment of God was come upon him) despairing of life, he wrote to the Jews, in the manner of a supplication, a letter in these words: 2 Ma. 9:18
But considering that my father also, at what time he led an army into the higher countries, appointed who should reign after him: 2 Ma. 9:23
For I trust that he will behave with moderation and humanity, and following my intentions, will be gracious unto you. 2 Ma. 9:27
But he threw down the altars which the heathens had set up in the streets, as also the temples of the idols. 2 Ma. 10:2
For when he was come to the crown, he appointed over the affairs of his realm one Lysias, general of the army of Phenicia and Syria. 2 Ma. 10:11
But being accused for this to Eupator by his friends, and being oftentimes called traitor, because he had left Cyprus, which Philometor had committed to him, and coming over to Antiochus the Illustrious, had revolted also from him, he put an end to his life by poison. 2 Ma. 10:13
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
So he put these traitors to death, and forthwith took the two towers. 2 Ma. 10:22
And having good success in arms, and in all things he took in hand, he slew more than twenty thousand in the two holds. 2 Ma. 10:23
But Timotheus, who before had been overcome by the Jews, having called together a multitude of foreign troops, and assembled horsemen out of Asia, came as though he would take Judea by force of arms. 2 Ma. 10:24
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
So he came into Judea, and approaching to Bethsura, which was in a narrow place, the space of five furlongs from Jerusalem, he laid siege to that fortress. 2 Ma. 11:5
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 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
And promised that he would agree to all things that are just, and that he would persuade the king to be their friend. 2 Ma. 11:14
Therefore whatsoever things could be reported to the king, I have represented to him: and he hath granted as much as the matter permitted. 2 Ma. 11:18
But touching such things as he thought should be referred to the king, after you have diligently conferred among yourselves, send some one forthwith, that we may decree as it is convenient for you: for we are going to Antioch. 2 Ma. 11:36
But as soon as Judas heard of this cruelty done to his countrymen, he commanded the men that were with him: and after having called upon God, the just judge, 2 Ma. 12:5
He came against those murderers of his brethren, and set the haven on fire in the night, burnt the boats, and slew with the sword them that escaped from the fire. 2 Ma. 12:6
And when he had done these things in this manner, he departed as if he would return again, and root out all the Joppites. 2 Ma. 12:7
But when he understood that the men of Jamnia also designed to do in like manner to the Jews that dwelt among them, 2 Ma. 12:8
He came upon the Jamnites also by night, and set the haven on fire, with the ships, so that the light of the fire was seen at Jerusalem, two hundred and forty furlongs off. 2 Ma. 12:9
He also laid siege to a certain strong city, encompassed with bridges and walls, and inhabited by multitudes of different nations, the name of which is Casphin. 2 Ma. 12:13
And having taken the city by the will of the Lord, he made an unspeakable slaughter, so that a pool adjoining, of two furlongs broad, seemed to run with the blood of the slain. 2 Ma. 12:16
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
Now when Timotheus had knowledge of the coming of Judas, he sent the women and children, and the other baggage, before him into a fortress, called Carnion: for it was impregnable, and hard to come at, by reason of the straitness of the places. 2 Ma. 12:21
But Judas pursued them close, punishing the profane, of whom he slew thirty thousand men. 2 Ma. 12:23
And Timotheus himself fell into the hands of the band of Dositheus and Sosipater, and with many prayers he besought them to let him go with his life, because he had the parents and brethren of many of the Jews, who, by his death, might happen to be deceived. 2 Ma. 12:24
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
Then Judas went away to Carnion, where he slew five and twenty thousand persons. 2 Ma. 12:26
And after he had put to flight and destroyed these, he removed his army to Ephron, a strong city, wherein there dwelt a multitude of divers nations: and stout young men standing upon the walls, made a vigorous resistance: and in this place there were many engines of war, and a provision of darts. 2 Ma. 12:27
And he came out with three thousand footmen and four hundred horsemen. 2 Ma. 12:33
But Dositheus, a horseman, one of Bacenor's band, a valiant man, took hold of Gorgias: and when he would have taken him alive, a certain horseman of the Thracians came upon him, and cut off his shoulder: and so Gorgias escaped to Maresa. 2 Ma. 12:35
Then beginning in his own language, and singing hymns with a loud voice, he put Gorgias' soldiers to flight. 2 Ma. 12:37
And making a gathering, he sent twelve thousand drachms of silver to Jerusalem for sacrifice to be offered for the sins of the dead, thinking well and religiously concerning the resurrection. 2 Ma. 12:43
(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
Menelaus also joined himself with them: and with great deceitfulness besought Antiochus, not for the welfare of his country, but in hopes that he should be appointed chief ruler. 2 Ma. 13:3
But the King of kings stirred up the mind of Antiochus against the sinner, and upon Lysias suggesting that he was the cause of all the evils, he commanded (as the custom is with them) that he should be apprehended and put to death in the same place. 2 Ma. 13:4
From thence he commanded the sacrilegious wretch to be thrown down into the ashes, all men thrusting him forward unto death. 2 Ma. 13:6
And indeed very justly, for insomuch as he had committed many sins against the altar of God, the fire and ashes of which were holy: he was condemned to die in ashes. 2 Ma. 13:8
Which when Judas understood, he commanded the people to call upon the Lord day and night, that as he had always done, so now also he would help them: 2 Ma. 13:10
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
But he, with the ancients, determined before the king should bring his army into Judea, and make himself master of the city, to go out, and to commit the event of the thing to the judgment of the Lord. 2 Ma. 13:13
So committing all to God, the Creator of the world, and having exhorted his people to fight manfully, and to stand up even to death for the laws, the temple, the city, their country, and citizens: he placed his army about Modin. 2 Ma. 13:14
And having given his company for a watchword, The victory of God, with most valiant chosen young men, he set upon the king's quarter by night, and slew four thousand men in the camp, and the greatest of the elephants, with them that had been upon him, 2 Ma. 13:15
And he marched with his army to Bethsura, which was a strong hold of the Jews: but he was repulsed, he failed, he lost his men. 2 Ma. 13:19
But Rhodocus, one of the Jews' army, disclosed the secrets to the enemies, so he was sought out, and taken up, and put in prison. 2 Ma. 13:21
He fought with Judas: and was overcome. And when he understood that Philip, who had been left over the affairs, had rebelled at Antioch, he was in a consternation of mind, and entreating the Jews, and yielding to them, he swore to all things that seemed reasonable, and, being reconciled, offered sacrifice, honoured the temple, and left gifts. 2 Ma. 13:23
He embraced Machabeus, and made him governor and prince from Ptolemais unto the Gerrenians. 2 Ma. 13:24
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
Came to king Demetrius in the year one hundred and fifty, presenting unto him a crown of gold, and a palm, and besides these, some boughs that seemed to belong to the temple. And that day indeed he held his peace. 2 Ma. 14:4
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
And forthwith he sent Nicanor, the commander over the elephants, governor into Judea: 2 Ma. 14:12
Wherefore he sent Posidonius, and Theodotius and Matthias before to present and receive the right hands. 2 Ma. 14:19
And Judas was always dear to him from the heart, and he was well affected to the man. 2 Ma. 14:24
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
Then the king, being in a rage, and provoked with this man's wicked accusation, wrote to Nicanor, signifying that he was greatly displeased with the covenant of friendship: and that he commanded him nevertheless to send Machabeus prisoner in all haste to Antioch. 2 Ma. 14:27
When this was known, Nicanor was in a consternation, and took it grievously that he should make void the articles that were agreed upon, having received no injury from the man. 2 Ma. 14:28
But because he could not oppose the king, he watched an opportunity to comply with the orders 2 Ma. 14:29
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
But he finding himself notably prevented by the man, came to the great and holy temple: and commanded the priests that were offering the accustomed sacrifices, to deliver him the man. 2 Ma. 14:31
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
And when he had spoken thus, he departed. But the priests stretching forth their hands to heaven, called upon him that was ever the defender of their nation, saying in this manner: 2 Ma. 14:34
This man, for a long time, had held fast his purpose of keeping himself pure in the Jews' religion, and was ready to expose his body and life, that he might persevere therein. 2 Ma. 14:38
So Nicanor being willing to declare the hatred that he bore the Jews, sent five hundred soldiers to take him. 2 Ma. 14:39
For he thought by ensnaring him to hurt the Jews very much. 2 Ma. 14:40
Now as the multitude sought to rush into his house, and to break open the door, and to set fire to it, when he was ready to be taken, he struck himself with his sword: 2 Ma. 14:41
But whereas through haste he missed of giving himself a sure wound, and the crowd was breaking into the doors, he ran boldly to the wall, and manfully threw himself down to the crowd: 2 Ma. 14:43
But they quickly making room for his fall, he came upon the midst of the neck. 2 Ma. 14:44
And as he had yet breath in him, being inflamed in mind, he arose: and while his blood ran down with a great stream, and he was grievously wounded, he ran through the crowd: 2 Ma. 14:45
And standing upon a steep rock, when he was now almost without blood, grasping his bowels, with both hands he cast them upon the throng, calling upon the Lord of life and spirit, to restore these to him again: and so he departed this life. 2 Ma. 14:46
¤ But when Nicanor understood that Judas was in the places of Samaria, he purposed to set upon him with all violence, on the sabbath day. 2 Ma. 15:1
Then he said: And I am mighty upon the earth, and I command to take arms, and to do the king's business. Nevertheless he prevailed not to accomplish his design. 2 Ma. 15:5
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
Then after he had encouraged them, he shewed withal the falsehood of the Gentiles, and their breach of oaths. 2 Ma. 15:10
So he armed every one of them, not with defence of shield and spear, but with very good speeches, and exhortations, and told them a dream worthy to be believed, whereby he rejoiced them all. 2 Ma. 15:11
Then Onias answering, said: This is a lover of his brethren, and of the people of Israel: this is he that prayeth much for the people, and for all the holy city, Jeremias, the prophet of God. 2 Ma. 15:14
And in his prayer he said after this manner: Thou, O Lord, who didst send thy angel in the time of Ezechias, king of Juda, and didst kill a hundred and eighty-five thousand of the army of Sennacherib: 2 Ma. 15:22
That they may be afraid, who come with blasphemy against thy holy people. And thus he concluded his prayer. 2 Ma. 15:24
And when he was come thither, having called together his countrymen, and the priests to the altar, he sent also for them that were in the castle, 2 Ma. 15:31
And shewing them the head of Nicanor, and the wicked hand, which he had stretched out, with proud boasts, against the holy house of the Almighty God, 2 Ma. 15:32
He commanded also, that the tongue of the wicked Nicanor should be cut out, and given by pieces to birds, and the hand of the furious man to be hanged up over against the temple. 2 Ma. 15:33
Then all blessed the Lord of heaven, saying: Blessed be he that hath kept his own place undefiled. 2 Ma. 15:34
And he hung up Nicanor's head in the top of the castle, that it might be an evident and manifest sign of the help of God. 2 Ma. 15:35
But while he thought on these things, behold the Angel of the Lord appeared to him in his sleep, saying: Joseph, son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife, for that which is conceived in her, is of the Holy Ghost. Mt. 1:20
And she shall bring forth a son: and thou shalt call his name Jesus. For he shall save his people from their sins. Mt. 1:21
And he knew her not till she brought forth her first born son: and he called his name Jesus. Mt. 1:25
Saying: Where is he that is born king of the Jews? For we have seen his star in the East, and are come to adore him. Mt. 2:2
And assembling together all the chief priests and the scribes of the people, he inquired of them where Christ should be born. Mt. 2:4
And he was there until the death of Herod: that it might be fulfilled which the Lord spoke by the prophet, saying: Out of Egypt have I called my son. Mt. 2:15
Then Herod perceiving that he was deluded by the wise men, was exceeding angry: and sending killed all the menchildren that were in Bethlehem, and in all the borders thereof, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had diligently inquired of the wise men. Mt. 2:16
But hearing that Archelaus reigned in Judea in the room of Herod his father, he was afraid to go thither: and being warned in sleep retired into the quarters of Galilee. Mt. 2:22
And coming he dwelt in a city called Nazareth: that it might be fulfilled which was said by the prophets: That he shall be called a Nazarene. Mt. 2:23
For this is he that was spoken of by Isaias the prophet, saying: A voice of one crying in the desert, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make straight his paths. Mt. 3:3
And seeing many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to his baptism, he said to them: Ye brood of vipers, who hath shewed you to flee from the wrath to come? Mt. 3:7
I indeed baptize you in water unto penance, but he that shall come after me, is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you in the Holy Ghost and fire. Mt. 3:11
Whose fan is in his hand, and he will thoroughly cleanse his floor and gather his wheat into the barn; but the chaff he will burn with unquenchable fire. Mt. 3:12
And Jesus answering, said to him: Suffer it to be so now. For so it becometh us to fulfil all justice. Then he suffered him. Mt. 3:15
And Jesus being baptized, forthwith came out of the water: and lo, the heavens were opened to him: and he saw the Spirit of God descending as a dove, and coming upon him. Mt. 3:16
And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, afterwards he was hungry. Mt. 4:2
And said to him: If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down, for it is written: That he hath given his angels charge over thee, and in their hands shall they bear thee up, lest perhaps thou dash thy foot against a stone. Mt. 4:6
And when Jesus had heard that John was delivered up, he retired into Galilee: Mt. 4:12
And leaving the city Nazareth, he came and dwelt in Capharnaum on the sea coast, in the borders of Zabulon and of Nephthalim; Mt. 4:13
And he saith to them: Come ye after me, and I will make you to be fishers of men. Mt. 4:19
And going on from thence, he saw other two brethren, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in a ship with Zebedee their father, mending their nets: and he called them. Mt. 4:21
And his fame went throughout all Syria, and they presented to him all sick people that were taken with divers diseases and torments, and such as were possessed by devils, and lunatics, and those that had the palsy, and he cured them: Mt. 4:24
¤ And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain, and when he was set down, his disciples came unto him. Mt. 5:1
And opening his mouth he taught them, saying: Mt. 5:2
He therefore that shall break one of these least commandments, and shall so teach men shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven. But he that shall do and teach, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. Mt. 5:19
But I say to you, that whosoever shall put away his wife, excepting for the cause of fornication, maketh her to commit adultery: and he that shall marry her that is put away, committeth adultery. Mt. 5:32
No man can serve two masters. For either he will hate the one, and love the other: or he will sustain the one, and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon. Mt. 6:24
For every one that asketh, receiveth: and he that seeketh, findeth: and to him that knocketh, it shall be opened. Mt. 7:8
Or what man is there among you, of whom if his son shall ask bread, will he reach him a stone? Mt. 7:9
Or if he shall ask him a fish, will he reach him a serpent? Mt. 7:10
Not every one that saith to me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven: but he that doth the will of my Father who is in heaven, he shall enter into the kingdom of heaven. Mt. 7:21
For he was teaching them as one having power, and not as the scribes and Pharisees. Mt. 7:29
¤ And when he was come down from the mountain, great multitudes followed him: Mt. 8:1
And when he had entered into Capharnaum, there came to him a centurion, beseeching him, Mt. 8:5
For I also am a man subject to authority, having under me soldiers; and I say to this, Go, and he goeth, and to another Come, and he cometh, and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it. Mt. 8:9
And when Jesus was come into Peter's house, he saw his wife's mother lying, and sick of a fever; Mt. 8:14
And he touched her hand, and the fever left her, and she arose and ministered to them. Mt. 8:15
And when evening was come, they brought to him many that were possessed with devils: and he cast out the spirits with his word: and all that were sick he healed: Mt. 8:16
That it might be fulfilled, which was spoken by the prophet Isaias, saying: He took our infirmities, and bore our diseases. Mt. 8:17
And when he entered into the boat, his disciples followed him: Mt. 8:23
And behold a great tempest arose in the sea, so that the boat was covered with waves, but he was asleep. Mt. 8:24
And Jesus saith to them: Why are you fearful, O ye of little faith? Then rising up, he commanded the winds, and the sea, and there came a great calm. Mt. 8:26
And when he was come on the other side of the water, into the country of the Gerasens, there met him two that were possessed with devils, coming out of the sepulchres, exceeding fierce, so that none could pass by that way. Mt. 8:28
And he said to them: Go. But they going out went into the swine, and behold the whole herd ran violently down a steep place into the sea: and they perished in the waters. Mt. 8:32
And behold the whole city went out to meet Jesus, and when they saw him, they besought him that he would depart from their coasts. Mt. 8:34
¤ And entering into a boat, he passed over the water and came into his own city. Mt. 9:1
And behold some of the scribes said within themselves: He blasphemeth. Mt. 9:3
But that you may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (then said he to the man sick of the palsy,) Arise, take up thy bed, and go into thy house. Mt. 9:6
And he arose, and went into his house. Mt. 9:7
And when Jesus passed on from thence, he saw a man sitting in the custom house, named Matthew; and he saith to him: Follow me. And he arose up and followed him. Mt. 9:9
And it came to pass as he was sitting at meat in the house, behold many publicans and sinners came, and sat down with Jesus and his disciples. Mt. 9:10
As he was speaking these things unto them, behold a certain ruler came up, and adored him, saying: Lord, my daughter is even now dead; but come, lay thy hand upon her, and she shall live. Mt. 9:18
He said: Give place, for the girl is not dead, but sleepeth. And they laughed him to scorn. Mt. 9:24
And when the multitude was put forth, he went in, and took her by the hand. And the maid arose. Mt. 9:25
And when he was come to the house, the blind men came to him. And Jesus saith to them, Do you believe, that I can do this unto you? They say to him, Yea, Lord. Mt. 9:28
Then he touched their eyes, saying, According to your faith, be it done unto you. Mt. 9:29
But the Pharisees said, By the prince of devils he casteth out devils. Mt. 9:34
And seeing the multitudes, he had compassion on them: because they were distressed, and lying like sheep that have no shepherd. Mt. 9:36
Then he saith to his disciples, The harvest indeed is great, but the labourers are few. Mt. 9:37
Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he send forth labourers into his harvest. Mt. 9:38
¤ And having called his twelve disciples together, he gave them power over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of diseases, and all manner of infirmities. Mt. 10:1
And you shall be hated by all men for my name's sake: but he that shall persevere unto the end, he shall be saved. Mt. 10:22
It is enough for the disciple that he be as his master, and the servant as his lord. If they have called the good man of the house Beelzebub, how much more them of his household? Mt. 10:25
But he that shall deny me before men, I will also deny him before my Father who is in heaven. Mt. 10:33
He that loveth father or mother more than me, is not worthy of me; and he that loveth son or daughter more than me, is not worthy of me. Mt. 10:37
And he that taketh not up his cross, and followeth me, is not worthy of me. Mt. 10:38
He that findeth his life, shall lose it: and he that shall lose his life for me, shall find it. Mt. 10:39
He that receiveth you, receiveth me: and he that receiveth me, receiveth him that sent me. Mt. 10:40
He that receiveth a prophet in the name of a prophet, shall receive the reward of a prophet: and he that receiveth a just man in the name of a just man, shall receive the reward of a just man. Mt. 10:41
And whosoever shall give to drink to one of these little ones a cup of cold water only in the name of a disciple, amen I say to you he shall not lose his reward. Mt. 10:42
¤ And it came to pass, when Jesus had made an end of commanding his twelve disciples, he passed from thence, to teach and to preach in their cities. Mt. 11:1
Now when John had heard in prison the works of Christ: sending two of his disciples he said to him: Mt. 11:2
Art thou he that art to come, or look we for another? Mt. 11:3
And blessed is he that shall not be scandalized in me. Mt. 11:6
For this is he of whom it is written: Behold I send my angel before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee. Mt. 11:10
Amen I say to you, there hath not risen among them that are born of women a greater than John the Baptist: yet he that is the lesser in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he. Mt. 11:11
And if you will receive it, he is Elias that is to come. Mt. 11:14
He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. Mt. 11:15
For John came neither eating nor drinking; and they say: He hath a devil. Mt. 11:18
Then began he to upbraid the cities wherein were done the most of his miracles, for that they had not done penance. Mt. 11:20
All things are delivered to me by my Father. And no one knoweth the Son but the Father: neither doth any one know the Father, but the Son, and he to whom it shall please the Son to reveal him. Mt. 11:27
But he said to them: Have you not read what David did when he was hungry, and they that were with him: Mt. 12:3
How he entered into the house of God, and did eat the loaves of proposition, which it was not lawful for him to eat, nor for them that were with him, but for the priests only? Mt. 12:4
And when he had passed from thence, he came into their synagogues. Mt. 12:9
But he said to them: What man shall there be among you, that hath one sheep: and if the same fall into a pit on the sabbath day, will he not take hold on it and lift it up? Mt. 12:11
Then he saith to the man: Stretch forth thy hand; and he stretched it forth, and it was restored to health even as the other. Mt. 12:13
But Jesus knowing it, retired from thence: and many followed him, and he healed them all. Mt. 12:15
And he charged them that they should not make him known. Mt. 12:16
Behold my servant whom I have chosen, my beloved in whom my soul hath been well pleased. I will put my spirit upon him, and he shall shew judgment to the Gentiles. Mt. 12:18
He shall not contend, nor cry out, neither shall any man hear his voice in the streets. Mt. 12:19
The bruised reed he shall not break: and smoking flax he shall not extinguish: till he send forth judgment unto victory. Mt. 12:20
Then was offered to him one possessed with a devil, blind and dumb: and he healed him, so that he spoke and saw. Mt. 12:22
And if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself: how then shall his kingdom stand? Mt. 12:26
Or how can any one enter into the house of the strong, and rifle his goods, unless he first bind the strong? and then he will rifle his house. Mt. 12:29
He that is not with me, is against me: and he that gathereth not with me, scattereth. Mt. 12:30
And whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but he that shall speak against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him neither in this world, nor in the world to come. Mt. 12:32
And when an unclean spirit is gone out of a man he walketh through dry places seeking rest, and findeth none. Mt. 12:43
Then he saith: I will return into my house from whence I came out. And coming he findeth it empty, swept, and garnished. Mt. 12:44
Then he goeth, and taketh with him seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man is made worse than the first. So shall it be also to this wicked generation. Mt. 12:45
As he was yet speaking to the multitudes, behold his mother and his brethren stood without, seeking to speak to him. Mt. 12:46
But he answering him that told him, said: Who is my mother, and who are my brethren? Mt. 12:48
And stretching forth his hand towards his disciples, he said: Behold my mother and my brethren. Mt. 12:49
For whosoever shall do the will of my Father, that is in heaven, he is my brother, and sister, and mother. Mt. 12:50
And great multitudes were gathered together unto him, so that he went up into a boat and sat: and all the multitude stood on the shore. Mt. 13:2
And he spoke to them many things in parables, saying: Behold the sower went forth to sow. Mt. 13:3
And whilst he soweth some fell by the way side, and the birds of the air came and ate them up. Mt. 13:4
He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. Mt. 13:9
For he that hath, to him shall be given, and he shall abound: but he that hath not, from him shall be taken away that also which he hath. Mt. 13:12
When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, there cometh the wicked one, and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart: this is he that received the seed by the way side. Mt. 13:19
And he that received the seed upon stony ground, is he that heareth the word, and immediately receiveth it with joy. Mt. 13:20
Yet hath he not root in himself, but is only for a time: and when there ariseth tribulation and persecution because of the word, he is presently scandalized. Mt. 13:21
And he that received the seed among thorns, is he that heareth the word, and the care of this world and the deceitfulness of riches choketh up the word, and he becometh fruitless. Mt. 13:22
But he that received the seed upon good ground, is he that heareth the word, and understandeth, and beareth fruit, and yieldeth the one an hundredfold, and another sixty, and another thirty. Mt. 13:23
Another parable he proposed to them, saying: The kingdom of heaven is likened to a man that sowed good seed in his field. Mt. 13:24
And he said to them: An enemy hath done this. And the servants said to him: Wilt thou that we go and gather it up? Mt. 13:28
And he said: No, lest perhaps gathering up the cockle, you root up the wheat also together with it. Mt. 13:29
Another parable he proposed unto them, saying: The kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took and sowed in his field. Mt. 13:31
Another parable he spoke to them: The kingdom of heaven is like to leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal, until the whole was leavened. Mt. 13:33
All these things Jesus spoke in parables to the multitudes: and without parables he did not speak to them. Mt. 13:34
Then having sent away the multitudes, he came into the house, and his disciples came to him, saying: Expound to us the parable of the cockle of the field. Mt. 13:36
Who made answer and said to them: He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man. Mt. 13:37
Then shall the just shine as the sun, in the kingdom of their Father. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. Mt. 13:43
The kingdom of heaven is like unto a treasure hidden in a field. Which a man having found, hid it, and for joy thereof goeth, and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field. Mt. 13:44
Who when he had found one pearl of great price, went his way, and sold all that he had, and bought it. Mt. 13:46
He said unto them: Therefore every scribe instructed in the kingdom of heaven, is like to a man that is a householder, who bringeth forth out of his treasure new things and old. Mt. 13:52
And it came to pass: when Jesus had finished these parables, he passed from thence. Mt. 13:53
And coming into his own country, he taught them in their synagogues, so that they wondered and said: How came this man by this wisdom and miracles? Mt. 13:54
And his sisters, are they not all with us? Whence therefore hath he all these things? Mt. 13:56
And he wrought not many miracles there, because of their unbelief. Mt. 13:58
And he said to his servants: This is John the Baptist: he is risen from the dead, and therefore mighty works shew forth themselves in him. Mt. 14:2
And having a mind to put him to death, he feared the people: because they esteemed him as a prophet. Mt. 14:5
Whereupon he promised with an oath, to give her whatsoever she would ask of him. Mt. 14:7
And the king was struck sad: yet because of his oath, and for them that sat with him at table, he commanded it to be given. Mt. 14:9
And he sent, and beheaded John in the prison. Mt. 14:10
Which when Jesus had heard, he retired from thence by boat, into a desert place apart, and the multitudes having heard of it, followed him on foot out of the cities. Mt. 14:13
And he coming forth saw a great multitude, and had compassion on them, and healed their sick. Mt. 14:14
He said to them: Bring them hither to me. Mt. 14:18
And when he had commanded the multitude to sit down upon the grass, he took the five loaves and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed, and brake, and gave the loaves to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitudes. Mt. 14:19
And forthwith Jesus obliged his disciples to go up into the boat, and to go before him over the water, till he dismissed the people. Mt. 14:22
And having dismissed the multitude, he went into a mountain alone to pray. And when it was evening, he was there alone. Mt. 14:23
And in the fourth watch of the night, he came to them walking upon the sea. Mt. 14:25
And he said: Come. And Peter going down out of the boat walked upon the water to come to Jesus. Mt. 14:29
But seeing the wind strong, he was afraid: and when he began to sink, he cried out, saying: Lord, save me. Mt. 14:30
But he answering, said to them: Why do you also transgress the commandment of God for your tradition? Mt. 15:3
For God said: Honour thy father and mother: And: He that shall curse father or mother, let him die the death. Mt. 15:4
And he shall not honour his father or his mother: and you have made void the commandment of God for your tradition. Mt. 15:6
And having called together the multitudes unto him, he said to them: Hear ye and understand. Mt. 15:10
But he answering, said: Every plant which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up. Mt. 15:13
But he said: Are you also yet without understanding? Mt. 15:16
And he answering, said: I was not sent but to the sheep, that are lost of the house of Israel. Mt. 15:24
And when Jesus had passed away from thence, he came nigh the sea of Galilee: and going up into a mountain, he sat there. Mt. 15:29
And there came to him great multitudes, having with them the dumb, the blind, the lame, the maimed, and many others: and they cast them down at his feet, and he healed them: Mt. 15:30
And he commanded the multitude to sit down upon the ground. Mt. 15:35
And taking the seven loaves and the fishes, and giving thanks, he brake, and gave to his disciples, and the disciples to the people. Mt. 15:36
And having dismissed the multitude, he went up into a boat, and came into the coasts of Magedan. Mt. 15:39
But he answered and said to them: When it is evening, you say, It will be fair weather, for the sky is red. Mt. 16:2
A wicked and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign: and a sign shall not be given it, but the sign of Jonas the prophet. And he left them, and went away. Mt. 16:4
Then they understood that he said not that they should beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and Sadducees. Mt. 16:12
And Jesus came into the quarters of Cesarea Philippi: and he asked his disciples, saying: Whom do men say that the Son of man is? Mt. 16:13
Then he commanded his disciples, that they should tell no one that he was Jesus the Christ. Mt. 16:20
From that time Jesus began to shew to his disciples, that he must go to Jerusalem, and suffer many things from the ancients and scribes and chief priests, and be put to death, and the third day rise again. Mt. 16:21
For he that will save his life, shall lose it: and he that shall lose his life for my sake, shall find it. Mt. 16:25
For what doth it profit a man, if he gain the whole world and suffer the loss of his own soul? Or what exchange shall a man give for his soul? Mt. 16:26
For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels: and then will he render to every man according to his works. Mt. 16:27
And he was transfigured before them. And his face did shine as the sun: and his garments became white as snow. Mt. 17:2
And as he was yet speaking, behold a bright cloud overshadowed them. And lo a voice out of the cloud, saying: This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased: hear ye him. Mt. 17:5
But he answering, said to them: Elias indeed shall come, and restore all things. Mt. 17:11
Then the disciples understood, that he had spoken to them of John the Baptist. Mt. 17:13
And when he was come to the multitude, there came to him a man falling down on his knees before him saying: Mt. 17:14
Lord, have pity on my son, for he is a lunatic, and suffereth much: for he falleth often into the fire, and often into the water. Mt. 17:15
And they shall kill him, and the third day he shall rise again. And they were troubled exceedingly. Mt. 17:23
He said: Yes. And when he was come into the house, Jesus prevented him, saying: What is thy opinion, Simon? The kings of the earth, of whom do they receive tribute or custom, of their own children, or of strangers? Mt. 17:25
And he said: Of strangers. Jesus said to him: Then the children are free. Mt. 17:26
Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, he is the greater in the kingdom of heaven. Mt. 18:4
And he that shall receive one such little child in my name, receiveth me. Mt. 18:5
But he that shall scandalize one of these little ones that believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone should be hanged about his neck, and that he should be drowned in the depth of the sea. Mt. 18:6
What think you? If a man have an hundred sheep, and one of them should go astray: doth he not leave the ninety-nine in the mountains, and goeth to seek that which is gone astray? Mt. 18:12
And if it so be that he find it: Amen I say to you, he rejoiceth more for that, than for the ninety-nine that went not astray. Mt. 18:13
But if thy brother shall offend against thee, go, and rebuke him between thee and him alone. If he shall hear thee, thou shalt gain thy brother. Mt. 18:15
And if he will not hear thee, take with thee one or two more: that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may stand. Mt. 18:16
And if he will not hear them: tell the church. And if he will not hear the church, let him be to thee as the heathen and publican. Mt. 18:17
And when he had begun to take the account, one was brought to him, that owed him ten thousand talents. Mt. 18:24
And as he had not wherewith to pay it, his lord commanded that he should be sold, and his wife and children, and all that he had, and payment to be made. Mt. 18:25
But when that servant was gone out, he found one of his fellow-servants that owed him an hundred pence: and laying hold of him, he throttled him, saying: Pay what thou owest. Mt. 18:28
And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he paid the debt. Mt. 18:30
And his lord being angry, delivered him to the torturers until he paid all the debt. Mt. 18:34
¤ And it came to pass when Jesus had ended these words, he departed from Galilee and came into the coasts of Judea, beyond Jordan. Mt. 19:1
And great multitudes followed him: and he healed them there. Mt. 19:2
Who answering, said to them: Have ye not read, that he who made man from the beginning, made them male and female? Mt. 19:4
And he said: For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife, and they two shall be in one flesh. Mt. 19:5
He saith to them: Because Moses by reason of the hardness of your heart permitted you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so. Mt. 19:8
And I say to you, that whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and he that shall marry her that is put away, committeth adultery. Mt. 19:9
For there are eunuchs, who were born so from their mother's womb: and there are eunuchs, who were made so by men: and there are eunuchs, who have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven. He that can take, let him take it. Mt. 19:12
Then were little children presented to him, that he should impose hands upon them and pray. And the disciples rebuked them. Mt. 19:13
And when he had imposed hands upon them, he departed from thence. Mt. 19:15
He said to him: Which? And Jesus said: Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness. Mt. 19:18
And when the young man had heard this word, he went away sad: for he had great possessions. Mt. 19:22
And having agreed with the labourers for a penny a day, he sent them into his vineyard. Mt. 20:2
And going out about the third hour, he saw others standing in the marketplace idle. Mt. 20:3
And he said to them: Go you also into my vineyard, and I will give you what shall be just. And they went their way. Mt. 20:4
And again he went out about the sixth and the ninth hour, and did in like manner. Mt. 20:5
But about the eleventh hour he went out and found others standing, and he saith to them: Why stand you here all the day idle? Mt. 20:6
They say to him: Because no man hath hired us. He saith to them: Go ye also into my vineyard. Mt. 20:7
But he answering said to one of them: friend, I do thee no wrong: didst thou not agree with me for a penny? Mt. 20:13
And shall deliver him to the Gentiles to be mocked and scourged and crucified: and the third day he shall rise again. Mt. 20:19
He saith to them: My chalice indeed you shall drink; but to sit on my right or left hand is not mine to give to you, but to them for whom it is prepared by my Father. Mt. 20:23
And he that will be first among you shall be your servant. Mt. 20:27
And if any man shall say anything to you, say ye that the Lord hath need of them. And forthwith he will let them go. Mt. 21:3
And the multitudes that went before and that followed cried, saying: Hosanna to the son of David: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord: Hosanna in the highest. Mt. 21:9
And when he was come into Jerusalem, the whole city was moved, saying: Who is this? Mt. 21:10
And he saith to them: It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but you have made it a den of thieves. Mt. 21:13
And there came to him the blind and the lame in the temple: and he healed them. Mt. 21:14
And the chief priests and scribes, seeing the wonderful things that he did and the children crying in the temple and saying: Hosanna to the son of David, were moved with indignation, Mt. 21:15
And leaving them, he went out of the city into Bethania and remained there. Mt. 21:17
And in the morning, returning into the city, he was hungry. Mt. 21:18
And seeing a certain fig tree by the way side, he came to it and found nothing on it but leaves only. And he saith to it: May no fruit grow on thee henceforward for ever. And immediately the fig tree withered away. Mt. 21:19
And when he was come into the temple, there came to him, as he was teaching, the chief priests and ancients of the people, saying: By what authority dost thou these things? And who hath given thee this authority? Mt. 21:23
The baptism of John, whence was it? From heaven or from men? But they thought within themselves, saying: If we shall say, from heaven, he will say to us: Why then did you not believe him? Mt. 21:25
And answering Jesus, they said: We know not. He also said to them: Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things. Mt. 21:27
But what think you? A certain man had two sons: and coming to the first, he said: Son, go work to day in my vineyard. Mt. 21:28
And he answering, said: I will not. But afterwards, being moved with repentance, he went. Mt. 21:29
And coming to the other, he said in like manner. And he answering said: I go, Sir. And he went not. Mt. 21:30
And when the time of the fruits drew nigh, he sent his servants to the husbandmen that they might receive the fruits thereof. Mt. 21:34
Again he sent other servants, more than the former; and they did to them in like manner. Mt. 21:36
And last of all he sent to them his son, saying: They will reverence my son. Mt. 21:37
When therefore the lord of the vineyard shall come, what will he do to those husbandmen? Mt. 21:40
They say to him: He will bring those evil men to an evil end and will let out his vineyard to other husbandmen that shall render him the fruit in due season. Mt. 21:41
And when the chief priests and Pharisees had heard his parables, they knew that he spoke of them. Mt. 21:45
And he sent his servants to call them that were invited to the marriage: and they would not come. Mt. 22:3
Again he sent other servants, saying: Tell them that were invited, Behold, I have prepared my dinner: my beeves and fatlings are killed, and all things are ready. Come ye to the marriage. Mt. 22:4
But when the king had heard of it, he was angry: and sending his armies, he destroyed those murderers and burnt their city. Mt. 22:7
Then he saith to his servants: The marriage indeed is ready; but they that were invited were not worthy. Mt. 22:8
And the king went in to see the guests: and he saw there a man who had not on a wedding garment. Mt. 22:11
And he saith to him: Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment? But he was silent. Mt. 22:12
They say to him: Caesar's. Then he saith to them: Render therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar's; and to God, the things that are God's. Mt. 22:21
I am the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob? He is not the God of the dead but of the living. Mt. 22:32
But the Pharisees, hearing that he had silenced the Sadducees, came together. Mt. 22:34
Saying: What think you of Christ? Whose son is he? They say to him: David's. Mt. 22:42
He saith to them: How then doth David in spirit call him Lord, saying: Mt. 22:43
If David then call him Lord, how is he his son? Mt. 22:45
He that is the greatest among you shall be your servant. Mt. 23:11
And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be humbled: and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted. Mt. 23:12
Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, because you go round about the sea and the land to make one proselyte. And when he is made, you make him the child of hell twofold more than yourselves. Mt. 23:15
Woe to you, blind guides, that say, Whosoever shall swear by the temple, it is nothing; but he that shall swear by the gold of the temple is a debtor. Mt. 23:16
He therefore that sweareth by the altar sweareth by it and by all things that are upon it. Mt. 23:20
And he that sweareth by heaven sweareth by the throne of God and by him that sitteth thereon. Mt. 23:22
For I say to you, you shall not see me henceforth till you say: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord. Mt. 23:39
And he answering, said to them: Do you see all these things? Amen I say to you, there shall not be left here a stone upon a stone that shall not be destroyed. Mt. 24:2
And when he was sitting on mount Olivet, the disciples came to him privately, saying: Tell us when shall these things be? And what shall be the sign of thy coming and of the consummation of the world? Mt. 24:3
But he that shall persevere to the end, he shall be saved. Mt. 24:13
When therefore you shall see the abomination of desolation, which was spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place: he that readeth let him understand. Mt. 24:15
And he that is on the housetop, let him not come down to take any thing out of his house: Mt. 24:17
And he that is in the field, let him not go back to take his coat. Mt. 24:18
If therefore they shall say to you, Behold he is in the desert: go ye not out. Behold he is in the closets: believe it not. Mt. 24:26
And he shall send his angels with a trumpet and a great voice: and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from the farthest parts of the heavens to the utmost bounds of them. Mt. 24:31
But know this ye, that, if the goodman of the house knew at what hour the thief would come, he would certainly watch and would not suffer his house to be broken open. Mt. 24:43
Blessed is that servant, whom when his lord shall come he shall find so doing. Mt. 24:46
Amen I say to you: he shall place him over all his goods. Mt. 24:47
The lord of that servant shall come in a day that he hopeth not and at an hour that he knoweth not: Mt. 24:50
But he answering said: Amen I say to you, I know you not. Mt. 25:12
And to one he gave five talents, and to another two, and to another one, to every one according to his proper ability: and immediately he took his journey. Mt. 25:15
And he that had received the five talents went his way and traded with the same and gained other five. Mt. 25:16
And in like manner he that had received the two gained other two. Mt. 25:17
But he that had received the one, going his way, digged into the earth and hid his lord's money. Mt. 25:18
And he that had received the five talents coming, brought other five talents, saying: Lord, thou didst deliver to me five talents. Behold I have gained other five over and above. Mt. 25:20
And he also that had received the two talents came and said: Lord, thou deliveredst two talents to me. Behold I have gained other two. Mt. 25:22
But he that had received the one talent, came and said: Lord, I know that thou art a hard man; thou reapest where thou hast not sown and gatherest where thou hast not strewed. Mt. 25:24
For to every one that hath shall be given, and he shall abound: but from him that hath not, that also which he seemeth to have shall be taken away. Mt. 25:29
And when the Son of man shall come in his majesty, and all the angels with him, then shall he sit upon the seat of his majesty. Mt. 25:31
And all nations shall be gathered together before him: and he shall separate them one from another, as the shepherd separateth the sheep from the goats: Mt. 25:32
And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on his left. Mt. 25:33
Then he shall say to them also that shall be on his left hand: Depart from me, you cursed, into everlasting fire, which was prepared for the devil and his angels. Mt. 25:41
Then he shall answer them, saying: Amen: I say to you, as long as you did it not to one of these least, neither did you do it to me. Mt. 25:45
¤ And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended all these words, he said to his disciples: Mt. 26:1
There came to him a woman having an alabaster box of precious ointment and poured it on his head as he was at table. Mt. 26:7
And from thenceforth he sought opportunity to betray him. Mt. 26:16
But when it was evening, he sat down with his twelve disciples. Mt. 26:20
And whilst they were eating, he said: Amen I say to you that one of you is about to betray me. Mt. 26:21
But he answering said: He that dippeth his hand with me in the dish, he shall betray me. Mt. 26:23
And Judas that betrayed him answering, said: Is it I, Rabbi? He saith to him: Thou hast said it. Mt. 26:25
And taking the chalice, he gave thanks and gave to them, saying: Drink ye all of this. Mt. 26:27
Then Jesus came with them into a country place which is called Gethsemani. And he said to his disciples: Sit you here, till I go yonder and pray. Mt. 26:36
And taking with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, he began to grow sorrowful and to be sad. Mt. 26:37
Then he saith to them: My soul is sorrowful even unto death. Stay you here and watch with me. Mt. 26:38
And going a little further, he fell upon his face, praying and saying: My Father, if it be possible, let this chalice pass from me. Nevertheless, not as I will but as thou wilt. Mt. 26:39
And he cometh to his disciples and findeth them asleep. And he saith to Peter: What? Could you not watch one hour with me? Mt. 26:40
Again the second time, he went and prayed, saying: My Father, if this chalice may not pass away, but I must drink it, thy will be done. Mt. 26:42
And he cometh again and findeth them sleeping: for their eyes were heavy. Mt. 26:43
And leaving them, he went again: and he prayed the third time, saying the selfsame word. Mt. 26:44
Then he cometh to his disciples and saith to them: Sleep ye now and take your rest. Behold the hour is at hand: and the Son of man shall be betrayed into the hands of sinners. Mt. 26:45
Rise: let us go. Behold he is at hand that will betray me. Mt. 26:46
As he yet spoke, behold Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a great multitude with swords and clubs, sent from the chief priests and the ancients of the people. Mt. 26:47
And he that betrayed him gave them a sign, saying: Whomsoever I shall kiss, that is he. Hold him fast. Mt. 26:48
And forthwith coming to Jesus, he said: Hail, Rabbi. And he kissed him. Mt. 26:49
Thinkest thou that I cannot ask my Father, and he will give me presently more than twelve legions of angels? Mt. 26:53
And Peter followed him afar off, even to the court of the high priest, And going in, he sat with the servants, that he might see the end. Mt. 26:58
Then the high priest rent his garments, saying: He hath blasphemed: What further need have we of witnesses? Behold, now you have heard the blasphemy. Mt. 26:65
What think you? But they answering, said: He is guilty of death. Mt. 26:66
Saying: Prophesy unto us, O Christ. Who is he that struck thee? Mt. 26:68
But he denied before them all, saying: I know not what thou sayest. Mt. 26:70
And as he went out of the gate, another maid saw him; and she saith to them that were there: This man also was with Jesus of Nazareth. Mt. 26:71
And again he denied with an oath: I know not the man. Mt. 26:72
Then he began to curse and to swear that he knew not the man. And immediately the cock crew. Mt. 26:74
And Peter remembered the word of Jesus which he had said: Before the cock crow, thou wilt deny me thrice. And going forth, he wept bitterly. Mt. 26:75
Then Judas, who betrayed him, seeing that he was condemned, repenting himself, brought back the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and ancients, Mt. 27:3
And casting down the pieces of silver in the temple, he departed and went and hanged himself with an halter. Mt. 27:5
And when he was accused by the chief priests and ancients, he answered nothing. Mt. 27:12
And he answered him to never a word, so that the governor wondered exceedingly. Mt. 27:14
And he had then a notorious prisoner that was called Barabbas. Mt. 27:16
For he knew that for envy they had delivered him. Mt. 27:18
And as he was sitting in the place of judgment, his wife sent to him, saying: Have thou nothing to do with that just man; for I have suffered many things this day in a dream because of him. Mt. 27:19
The governor said to them: Why, what evil hath he done? But they cried out the more, saying: Let him be crucified. Mt. 27:23
And Pilate seeing that he prevailed nothing, but that rather a tumult was made, taking water washed his hands before the people, saying: I am innocent of the blood of this just man. Look you to it. Mt. 27:24
Then he released to them Barabbas: and having scourged Jesus, delivered him unto them to be crucified. Mt. 27:26
And they gave him wine to drink mingled with gall. And when he had tasted, he would not drink. Mt. 27:34
He saved others: himself he cannot save. If he be the king of Israel, let him now come down from the cross: and we will believe him. Mt. 27:42
He trusted in God: let him now deliver him if he will have him. For he said: I am the Son of God. Mt. 27:43
He went to Pilate and asked the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded that the body should be delivered. Mt. 27:58
And laid it in his own new monument, which he had hewed out in a rock. And he rolled a great stone to the door of the monument and went his way. Mt. 27:60
Saying: Sir, we have remembered, that that seducer said, while he was yet alive: After three days I will rise again. Mt. 27:63
Command therefore the sepulchre to be guarded until the third day: lest perhaps his disciples come and steal him away and say to the people: He is risen from the dead. And the last error shall be worse than the first. Mt. 27:64
He is not here. For he is risen, as he said. Come, and see the place where the Lord was laid. Mt. 28:6
And going quickly, tell ye his disciples that he is risen. And behold he will go before you into Galilee. There you shall see him. Lo, I have foretold it to you. Mt. 28:7
And John was clothed with camel's hair, and a leathern girdle about his loins: and he ate locusts and wild honey. Mk. 1:6
And he preached, saying: There cometh after me one mightier than I, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to stoop down and loose. Mk. 1:7
I have baptized you with water: but he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost. Mk. 1:8
And forthwith coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens opened and the Spirit as a dove descending and remaining on him. Mk. 1:10
And he was in the desert forty days and forty nights, and was tempted by Satan. And he was with beasts: and the angels ministered to him. Mk. 1:13
And passing by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew his brother, casting nets into the sea for they were fishermen. Mk. 1:16
And going on from thence a little farther, he saw James the son of Zebedee and John his brother, who also were mending their nets in the ship: Mk. 1:19
And forthwith he called them. And leaving their father Zebedee in the ship with his hired men, they followed him. Mk. 1:20
And they entered into Capharnaum: and forthwith upon the sabbath days going into the synagogue, he taught them. Mk. 1:21
And they were astonished at his doctrine. For he was teaching them as one having power, and not as the scribes. Mk. 1:22
And there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit; and he cried out, Mk. 1:23
And they were all amazed insomuch that they questioned among themselves, saying: What thing is this? What is this new doctrine? For with power he commandeth even the unclean spirits: and they obey him. Mk. 1:27
And coming to her, he lifted her up, taking her by the hand; and immediately the fever left her, and she ministered unto them. Mk. 1:31
And he healed many that were troubled with divers diseases. And he cast out many devils: and he suffered them not to speak, because they knew him. Mk. 1:34
And rising very early, going out, he went into a desert place: and there he prayed. Mk. 1:35
And he saith to them: Let us go into the neighbouring towns and cities, that I may preach there also; for to this purpose am I come. Mk. 1:38
And he was preaching in their synagogues and in all Galilee and casting out devils. Mk. 1:39
And when he had spoken, immediately the leprosy departed from him: and he was made clean. Mk. 1:42
And he strictly charged him and forthwith sent him away. Mk. 1:43
And he saith to him: See thou tell no one; but go, shew thyself to the high priest and offer for thy cleansing the things that Moses commanded, for a testimony to them. Mk. 1:44
But he being gone out, began to publish and to blaze abroad the word: so that he could not openly go into the city, but was without in desert places. And they flocked to him from all sides. Mk. 1:45
¤ And again he entered into Capharnaum after some days. And it was heard that he was in the house. Mk. 2:1
And many came together, so that there was no room: no, not even at the door. And he spoke to them the word. Mk. 2:2
And when they could not offer him unto him for the multitude, they uncovered the roof where he was: and opening it, they let down the bed wherein the man sick of the palsy lay. Mk. 2:4
And when Jesus had seen their faith, he saith to the sick of the palsy: Son, thy sins are forgiven thee. Mk. 2:5
Why doth this man speak thus? He blasphemeth. Who can forgive sins, but God only? Mk. 2:7
But that you may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins (he saith to the sick of the palsy): Mk. 2:10
And immediately he arose and, taking up his bed, went his way in the sight of all: so that all wondered and glorified God, saying: We never saw the like. Mk. 2:12
And he went forth again to the sea side: and all the multitude came to him. And he taught them. Mk. 2:13
And when he was passing by, he saw Levi, the son of Alpheus, sitting at the receipt of custom; and he saith to him: Follow me. And rising up, he followed him. Mk. 2:14
And it came to pass that as he sat at meat in his house, many Publicans and sinners sat down together with Jesus and his disciples. For they were many, who also followed him. Mk. 2:15
And the scribes and the Pharisees, seeing that he ate with publicans and sinners, said to his disciples: Why doth your master eat and drink with publicans and sinners? Mk. 2:16
And he said to them: Have you never read what David did when he had need and was hungry, himself and they that were with him? Mk. 2:25
How he went into the house of God, under Abiathar the high priest, and did eat the loaves of proposition, which was not lawful to eat but for the priests, and gave to them who were with him? Mk. 2:26
And he said to them: The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath. Mk. 2:27
¤ And he entered again into the synagogue: and there was a man there who had a withered hand. Mk. 3:1
And they watched him whether he would heal on the sabbath days, that they might accuse him. Mk. 3:2
And he said to the man who had the withered hand: Stand up in the midst. Mk. 3:3
And he saith to them: Is it lawful to do good on the sabbath days, or to do evil? To save life, or to destroy? But they held their peace. Mk. 3:4
And looking round about on them with anger, being grieved for the blindness of their hearts, he saith to the man: Stretch forth thy hand. And he stretched it forth: and his hand was restored unto him. Mk. 3:5
And from Jerusalem, and from Idumea and from beyond the Jordan. And they about Tyre and Sidon, a great multitude, hearing the things which he did, came to him. Mk. 3:8
And he spoke to his disciples that a small ship should wait on him, because of the multitude, lest they should throng him. Mk. 3:9
For he healed many, so that they pressed upon him for to touch him, as many as had evils. Mk. 3:10
And he strictly charged them that they should not make him known. Mk. 3:12
And going up into a mountain, he called unto him whom he would himself: and they came to him. Mk. 3:13
And he made that twelve should be with him, and that he might send them to preach. Mk. 3:14
And he gave them power to heal sicknesses, and to cast out devils. Mk. 3:15
And to Simon he gave the name Peter: Mk. 3:16
And James the son of Zebedee, and John the brother of James; and he named them Boanerges, which is, The sons of thunder. Mk. 3:17
And when his friends had heard of it, they went out to lay hold on him. For they said: He is become mad. Mk. 3:21
And the scribes who were come down from Jerusalem, said: He hath Beelzebub, and by the prince of devils he casteth out devils. Mk. 3:22
And after he had called them together, he said to them in parables: How can Satan cast out Satan? Mk. 3:23
And if Satan be risen up against himself, he is divided, and cannot stand, but hath an end. Mk. 3:26
No man can enter into the house of a strong man and rob him of his goods, unless he first bind the strong man, and then shall he plunder his house. Mk. 3:27
But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost, shall never have forgiveness, but shall be guilty of an everlasting sin. Mk. 3:29
Because they said: He hath an unclean spirit. Mk. 3:30
And answering them, he said: Who is my mother and my brethren? Mk. 3:33
And looking round about on them who sat about him, he saith: Behold my mother and my brethren. Mk. 3:34
For whosoever shall do the will of God, he is my brother, and my sister, and mother. Mk. 3:35
¤ And again he began to teach by the sea side; and a great multitude was gathered together unto him, so that he went up into a ship and sat in the sea: and all the multitude was upon the land by the sea side. Mk. 4:1
And he taught them many things in parables, and said unto them in his doctrine: Mk. 4:2
And whilst he sowed, some fell by the way side, and the birds of the air came and ate it up. Mk. 4:4
And he said: He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. Mk. 4:9
And when he was alone, the twelve that were with him asked him the parable. Mk. 4:10
And he said to them: To you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but to them that are without, all things are done in parables: Mk. 4:11
And he saith to them: Are you ignorant of this, parable? and how shall you know all parables? Mk. 4:13
He that soweth, soweth the word. Mk. 4:14
And he said to them: Doth a candle come in to be put under a bushel, or under a bed? and not to be set on a candlestick? Mk. 4:21
And he said to them: Take heed what you hear. In what measure you shall mete, it shall be measured to you again, and more shall be given to you. Mk. 4:24
For he that hath, to him shall be given: and he that hath not, that also which he hath shall be taken away from him. Mk. 4:25
And he said: So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the earth, Mk. 4:26
And should sleep, and rise, night and day, and the seed should spring, and grow up whilst he knoweth not. Mk. 4:27
And when the fruit is brought forth, immediately he putteth in the sickle, because the harvest is come. Mk. 4:29
And he said: To what shall we liken the kingdom of God? or to what parable shall we compare it? Mk. 4:30
And with many such parables, he spoke to them the word, according as they were able to hear. Mk. 4:33
And without parable he did not speak unto them; but apart, he explained all things to his disciples. Mk. 4:34
And he saith to them that day, when evening was come: Let us pass over to the other side. Mk. 4:35
And sending away the multitude, they take him even as he was in the ship: and there were other ships with him. Mk. 4:36
And he was in the hinder part of the ship, sleeping upon a pillow; and they awake him, and say to him: Master, doth, it not concern thee that we perish? Mk. 4:38
And rising up, he rebuked the wind, and said to the sea: Peace, be still. And the wind ceased: and there was made a great calm. Mk. 4:39
And he said to them: Why are you fearful? have you not faith yet? Mk. 4:40
And as he went out of the ship, immediately there met him out of the monuments a man with an unclean spirit, Mk. 5:2
For having been often bound with fetters and chains, he had burst the chains, and broken the fetters in pieces, and no one could tame him. Mk. 5:4
And he was always day and night in the monuments and in the mountains, crying and cutting himself with stones. Mk. 5:5
And seeing Jesus afar off, he ran and adored him. Mk. 5:6
And crying with a loud voice, he said: What have I to do with thee, Jesus the Son of the most high God? I adjure thee by God that thou torment me not. Mk. 5:7
For he said unto him: Go out of the man, thou unclean spirit. Mk. 5:8
And he asked him: What is thy name? And he saith to him: My name is Legion, for we are many. Mk. 5:9
And he besought him much, that he would not drive him away out of the country. Mk. 5:10
And they that had seen it, told them, in what manner he had been dealt with who had the devil; and concerning the swine. Mk. 5:16
And they began to pray him that he would depart from their coasts. Mk. 5:17
And when he went up into the ship, he that had been troubled with the devil, began to beseech him that he might be with him. Mk. 5:18
And he admitted him not, but saith to him: Go into thy house to thy friends, and tell them how great things the Lord hath done for thee, and hath had mercy on thee. Mk. 5:19
And he went his way, and began to publish in Decapolis how great things Jesus had done for him: and all men wondered. Mk. 5:20
And when Jesus had passed again in the ship over the strait, a great multitude assembled together unto him, and he was nigh unto the sea. Mk. 5:21
And he besought him much, saying: My daughter is at the point of death, come, lay thy hand upon her, that she may be safe, and may live. Mk. 5:23
And he went with him, and a great multitude followed him, and they thronged him. Mk. 5:24
And he looked about to see her who had done this. Mk. 5:32
And he said to her: Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole: go in peace, and be thou whole of thy disease. Mk. 5:34
While he was yet speaking, some come from the ruler of the synagogue's house, saying: Thy daughter is dead: why dost thou trouble the master any further? Mk. 5:35
And he admitted not any man to follow him, but Peter, and James, and John the brother of James. Mk. 5:37
And they come to the house of the ruler of the synagogue; and he seeth a tumult, and people weeping and wailing much. Mk. 5:38
And going in, he saith to them: Why make you this ado, and weep? the damsel is not dead, but sleepeth. Mk. 5:39
And they laughed him to scorn. But he having put them all out, taketh the father and the mother of the damsel, and them that were with him, and entereth in where the damsel was lying. Mk. 5:40
And taking the damsel by the hand, he saith to her: Talitha cumi, which is, being interpreted: Damsel (I say to thee) arise. Mk. 5:41
And he charged them strictly that no man should know it: and commanded that something should be given her to eat. Mk. 5:43
¤ And going out from thence, he went into his own country; and his disciples followed him. Mk. 6:1
And when the Sabbath was come, he began to teach in the synagogue: and many hearing him were in admiration at his doctrine, saying: How came this man by all these things? and what wisdom is this that is given to him, and such mighty works as are wrought by his hands? Mk. 6:2
And he could not do any miracles there, only that he cured a few that were sick, laying his hands upon them. Mk. 6:5
And he wondered because of their unbelief, and he went through the villages round about teaching. Mk. 6:6
And he called the twelve; and began to send them two and two, and gave them power over unclean spirits. Mk. 6:7
And he commanded them that they should take nothing for the way, but a staff only; no scrip, no bread, nor money in their purse, Mk. 6:8
And he said to them: Wheresoever you shall enter into an house, there abide till you depart from that place. Mk. 6:10
And king Herod heard, (for his name was made manifest,) and he said: John the Baptist is risen again from the dead, and therefore mighty works shew forth themselves in him. Mk. 6:14
Which Herod hearing, said: John whom I beheaded, he is risen again from the dead. Mk. 6:16
For Herod himself had sent and apprehended John, and bound him in prison for the sake of Herodias the wife of Philip his brother, because he had married her. Mk. 6:17
For Herod feared John, knowing him to be a just and holy man: and kept him, and when he heard him, did many things: and he heard him willingly. Mk. 6:20
And he swore to her: Whatsoever thou shalt ask I will give thee, though it be the half of my kingdom. Mk. 6:23
And the king was struck sad. Yet because of his oath, and because of them that were with him at table, he would not displease her: Mk. 6:26
But sending an executioner, he commanded that his head should be brought in a dish. And he beheaded him in the prison, Mk. 6:27
And he said to them: Come apart into a desert place, and rest a little. For there were many coming and going: and they had not so much as time to eat. Mk. 6:31
And Jesus going out saw a great multitude: and he had compassion on them, because they were as sheep not having a shepherd, and he began to teach them many things. Mk. 6:34
And he answering said to them: Give you them to eat. And they said to him: Let us go and buy bread for two hundred pence, and we will give them to eat. Mk. 6:37
And he saith to them: How many loaves have you? go and see. And when they knew, they say: Five, and two fishes. Mk. 6:38
And he commanded them that they should make them all sit down by companies upon the green grass. Mk. 6:39
And when he had taken the five loaves, and the two fishes: looking up to heaven, he blessed, and broke the loaves, and gave to his disciples to set before them: and the two fishes he divided among them all. Mk. 6:41
And immediately he obliged his disciples to go up into the ship, that they might go before him over the water to Bethsaida, whilst he dismissed the people. Mk. 6:45
And when he had dismissed them, he went up to the mountain to pray, Mk. 6:46
And seeing them labouring in rowing, (for the wind was against them,) and about the fourth watch of the night, he cometh to them walking upon the sea, and he would have passed by them. Mk. 6:48
For they all saw him, and were troubled. And immediately he spoke with them, and said to them: Have a good heart, it is I, fear ye not. Mk. 6:50
And he went up to them into the ship, and the wind ceased: and they were far more astonished within themselves: Mk. 6:51
And running through that whole country, they began to carry about in beds those that were sick, where they heard he was. Mk. 6:55
And whithersoever he entered, into towns or into villages or cities, they laid the sick in the streets, and besought him that they might touch but the hem of his garment: and as many as touched him were made whole. Mk. 6:56
But he answering, said to them: Well did Isaias prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written: This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me. Mk. 7:6
And he said to them: Well do you make void the commandment of God, that you may keep your own tradition. Mk. 7:9
For Moses said: Honour thy father and thy mother. And He that shall curse father or mother, dying let him die. Mk. 7:10
And calling again the multitude unto him, he said to them: Hear ye me all and understand. Mk. 7:14
And when he was come into the house from the multitude, his disciples asked him the parable. Mk. 7:17
And he saith to them: So are you also without knowledge? Understand you not that every thing from without entering into a man cannot defile him: Mk. 7:18
But he said that: The things which come out from a man, they defile a man. Mk. 7:20
And rising from thence he went into the coasts of Tyre and Sidon: and entering into a house, he would that no man should know it. And he could not be hid. Mk. 7:24
For the woman was a Gentile, a Syrophenician born. And she besought him that he would cast forth the devil out of her daughter. Mk. 7:26
And he said to her: For this saying, go thy way. The devil is gone out of thy daughter. Mk. 7:29
And again going out of the coasts of Tyre, he came by Sidon to the sea of Galilee, through the midst of the coasts of Decapolis. Mk. 7:31
And they bring to him one deaf and dumb: and they besought him that he would lay his hand upon him. Mk. 7:32
And taking him from the multitude apart, he put his fingers into his ears: and spitting, he touched his tongue. Mk. 7:33
And looking up to heaven, he groaned and said to him: Ephpheta, which is, Be thou opened. Mk. 7:34
And immediately his ears were opened and the string of his tongue was loosed and he spoke right. Mk. 7:35
And he charged them that they should tell no man. But the more he charged them, so much the more a great deal did they publish it. Mk. 7:36
And so much the more did they wonder, saying: He hath done all things well. He hath made both the deaf to hear and the dumb to speak. Mk. 7:37
¤ In those days again, when there was a great multitude and they had nothing to eat; calling his disciples together, he saith to them: Mk. 8:1
And he asked them: How many loaves have ye? Who said: Seven. Mk. 8:5
And he commanded the people to sit down on the ground. And taking the seven loaves, giving thanks, he broke and gave to his disciples for to set before them. And they set them before the people. Mk. 8:6
And they had a few little fishes: and he blessed them and commanded them to be set before them. Mk. 8:7
And they that had eaten were about four thousand. And he sent them away. Mk. 8:9
And immediately going up into a ship with his disciples, he came into the parts of Dalmanutha. Mk. 8:10
And sighing deeply in spirit, he saith: Why doth this generation seek a sign? Amen, I say to you, a sign shall not be given to this generation. Mk. 8:12
And leaving them, he went up again into the ship and passed to the other side of the water. Mk. 8:13
And he charged them saying: Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the leaven of Herod. Mk. 8:15
And he said to them: How do you not yet understand? Mk. 8:21
And they came to Bethsaida: and they bring to him a blind man. And they besought him that he would touch him. Mk. 8:22
And taking the blind man by the hand, he led him out of the town. And spitting upon his eyes, laying his hands on him, he asked him if he saw any thing. Mk. 8:23
And looking up, he said: I see men, as it were trees, walking. Mk. 8:24
After that again he laid his hands upon his eyes: and he began to see and was restored, so that he saw all things clearly. Mk. 8:25
And he sent him into his house, saying: Go into thy house, and if thou enter into the town, tell nobody. Mk. 8:26
And Jesus went out, and his disciples into the towns of Caesarea Philippi. And in the way, he asked his disciples, saying to them: Whom do men say that I am? Mk. 8:27
Then he saith to them: But whom do you say that I am? Peter answering said to him: Thou art the Christ. Mk. 8:29
And he strictly charged them that they should not tell any man of him. Mk. 8:30
And he began to teach them that the Son of man must suffer many things and be rejected by the ancients and by the high priests and the scribes: and be killed and after three days rise again. Mk. 8:31
And he spoke the word openly. And Peter taking him began to rebuke him. Mk. 8:32
And calling the multitude together with his disciples, he said to them: If any man will follow me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. Mk. 8:34
For what shall it profit a man, if he gain the whole world and suffer the loss of his soul? Mk. 8:36
For he that shall be ashamed of me and of my words, in this adulterous and sinful generation: the Son of man also will be ashamed of him, when he shall come in the glory of his Father with the holy angels. Mk. 8:38
¤ And he said to them: Amen I say to you that there are some of them that stand here who shall not taste death till they see the kingdom of God coming in power. Mk. 9:1
For he knew not what he said: for they were struck with fear. Mk. 9:6
And as they came down from the mountain, he charged them not to tell any man what things they had seen, till the Son of man shall be risen again from the dead. Mk. 9:9
And they kept the word to themselves; questioning together what that should mean, when he shall be risen from the dead. Mk. 9:10
Who answering, said to them: Elias, when he shall come first, shall restore all things; and as it is written of the Son of man that he must suffer many things and be despised. Mk. 9:12
And coming to his disciples he saw a great multitude about them and the scribes disputing with them. Mk. 9:14
And he asked them: What do you question about among you? Mk. 9:16
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 he asked his father: How long time is it since this hath happened unto him? But he said: From his infancy. Mk. 9:21
And oftentimes hath he cast him into the fire and into the waters to destroy him. But if thou canst do any thing, help us, having compassion on us. Mk. 9:22
And when Jesus saw the multitude running together, he threatened the unclean spirit, saying to him: Deaf and dumb spirit, I command thee, go out of him and enter not any more into him. Mk. 9:25
And crying out and greatly tearing him, he went out of him. And he became as dead, so that many said: He is dead. Mk. 9:26
But Jesus taking him by the hand, lifted him up. And he arose. Mk. 9:27
And when he was come into the house, his disciples secretly asked him: Why could not we cast him out? Mk. 9:28
And he said to them: This kind can go out by nothing, but by prayer and fasting. Mk. 9:29
And departing from thence, they passed through Galilee: and he would not that any man should know it. Mk. 9:30
And he taught his disciples and said to them: The Son of man shall be betrayed into the hands of men, and they shall kill him; and after that he is killed, he shall rise again the third day. Mk. 9:31
And they came to Capharnaum. And when they were in the house, he asked them: What did you treat of in the way? Mk. 9:33
And sitting down, he called the twelve and saith to them: If any man desire to be first, he shall be the last of all and be minister of all. Mk. 9:35
And taking a child, he set him in the midst of them. Whom when he had embraced, he saith to them: Mk. 9:36
For he that is not against you is for you. Mk. 9:40
For whosoever shall give you to drink a cup of water in my name, because you belong to Christ: amen I say to you, he shall not lose his reward. Mk. 9:41
And whosoever shall scandalize one of these little ones that believe in me: it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck and he were cast into the sea. Mk. 9:42
¤ And rising up from thence, he cometh into the coast of Judea beyond the Jordan: and the multitude flocked to him again. And as he was accustomed, he taught them again. Mk. 10:1
But he answering, saith to them: What did Moses command you? Mk. 10:3
To whom Jesus answering, said: Because of the hardness of your heart, he wrote you that precept. Mk. 10:5
And he saith to them: Whosoever shall put away his wife and marry another committeth adultery against her. Mk. 10:11
And they brought to him young children, that he might touch them. And the disciples rebuked them that brought them. Mk. 10:13
Whom when Jesus saw, he was much displeased and saith to them: Suffer the little children to come unto me and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God. Mk. 10:14
And embracing them and laying his hands upon them, he blessed them. Mk. 10:16
And when he was gone forth into the way, a certain man, running up and kneeling before him, asked him: Good Master, what shall I do that I may receive life everlasting? Mk. 10:17
But he answering, said to him: Master, all these things I have observed from my youth. Mk. 10:20
Who being struck sad at that saying, went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions. Mk. 10:22
And they were in the way going up to Jerusalem: and Jesus went before them. And they were astonished and following were afraid. And taking again the twelve, he began to tell them the things that should befall him. Mk. 10:32
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
But he said to them: What would you that I should do for you? Mk. 10:36
And they came to Jericho. And as he went out of Jericho with his disciples and a very great multitude, Bartimeus the blind man, the son of Timeus, sat by the way side begging. Mk. 10:46
Who when he had heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, began to cry out and to say: Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me. Mk. 10:47
And many rebuked him, that he might hold his peace; but he cried a great deal the more: Son of David, have mercy on me. Mk. 10:48
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 Jesus saith to him: Go thy way. Thy faith hath made thee whole. And immediately he saw and followed him in the way. Mk. 10:52
¤ 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 if any man shall say to you: What are you doing? Say ye that the Lord hath need of him. And immediately he will let him come hither. Mk. 11:3
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 he entered into Jerusalem, into the temple: and having viewed all things round about, when now the eventide was come, he went out to Bethania with the twelve. Mk. 11:11
And the next day when they came out from Bethania, he was hungry. Mk. 11:12
And when he had seen afar off a fig tree having leaves, he came, if perhaps he might find any thing on it. And when he was come to it, he found nothing but leaves. For it was not the time for figs. Mk. 11:13
And answering he said to it: May no man hereafter eat fruit of thee any more for ever! And his disciples heard it. Mk. 11:14
And they came to Jerusalem. And when he was entered into the temple, he began to cast out them that sold and bought in the temple: and over threw the tables of the moneychangers and the chairs of them that sold doves. Mk. 11:15
And he suffered not that any man should carry a vessel through the temple. Mk. 11:16
And he taught, saying to them: Is it not written: My house shall be called the house of prayer to all nations, but you have made it a den of thieves. Mk. 11:17
And when evening was come, he went forth out of the city. Mk. 11:19
Amen I say to you that whosoever shall say to this mountain, Be thou removed and be cast into the sea, and shall not stagger in his heart, but believe that whatsoever he saith shall be done; it shall be done unto him. Mk. 11:23
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
But they thought with themselves, saying: If we say, From heaven; he will say, Why then did you not believe him? Mk. 11:31
If we say, From men, we fear the people. For all men counted John that he was a prophet indeed. Mk. 11:32
¤ And he began to speak to them in parables: A certain man planted a vineyard and made a hedge about it and dug a place for the winefat and built a tower and let it to husbandmen: and went into a far country. Mk. 12:1
And at the season he sent to the husbandmen a servant to receive of the husbandmen of the fruit of the vineyard. Mk. 12:2
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
What therefore will the lord of the vineyard do? He will come and destroy those husbandmen and will give the vineyard to others. Mk. 12:9
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 brought it him. And he saith to them: Whose is this image and inscription? They say to him, Caesar's. Mk. 12:16
And the second took her and died: and neither did he leave any issue. And the third in like manner. Mk. 12:21
He is not the God of the dead, but of the living. You therefore do greatly err. Mk. 12:27
And there came one of the scribes that had heard them reasoning together, and seeing that he had answered them well, asked him which was the first commandment of all. Mk. 12:28
And that he should be loved with the whole heart and with the whole understanding and with the whole soul and with the whole strength. And to love one's neighbour as one's self is a greater thing than all holocausts and sacrifices. Mk. 12:33
And Jesus seeing that he had answered wisely, said to him: Thou art not far from the kingdom of God. And no man after that durst ask him any question. Mk. 12:34
David therefore himself calleth him Lord. And whence is he then his son? And a great multitude heard him gladly. Mk. 12:37
And he said to them in his doctrine: Beware of the scribes, who love to walk in long robes and to be saluted in the marketplace, Mk. 12:38
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
¤ And as he was going out of the temple, one of his disciples said to him: Master, behold what manner of stones and what buildings are here. Mk. 13:1
And as he sat on the mount of Olivet over against the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him apart: Mk. 13:3
For many shall come in my name saying, I am he: and they shall deceive many. Mk. 13:6
And you shall be hated by all men for my name's sake. But he that shall endure unto the end, he shall be saved. Mk. 13:13
And when you shall see the abomination of desolation, standing where it ought not (he that readeth let him understand): then let them that are in Judea flee unto the mountains. Mk. 13:14
And unless the Lord had shortened the days, no flesh should be saved: but, for the sake of the elect which he hath chosen, he hath shortened the days. Mk. 13:20
And then if any man shall say to you: Lo, here is Christ. Lo, he is here: do not believe. Mk. 13:21
And then shall he send his angels and shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from the uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost part of heaven. Mk. 13:27
Lest coming on a sudden, he find you sleeping. Mk. 13:36
And when he was in Bethania, in the house of Simon the leper, and was at meat, there came a woman having an alabaster box of ointment of precious spikenard. And breaking the alabaster box, she poured it out upon his head. Mk. 14:3
Who hearing it were glad: and they promised him they would give him money. And he sought how he might conveniently betray him. Mk. 14:11
And he sendeth two of his disciples and saith to them: Go ye into the city; and there shall meet you a man carrying a pitcher of water. Follow him. Mk. 14:13
And whithersoever he shall go in, say to the master of the house, The master saith, Where is my refectory, where I may eat the pasch with my disciples? Mk. 14:14
And he will shew you a large dining room furnished. And there prepare ye for us. Mk. 14:15
And his disciples went their way and came into the city. And they found as he had told them: and they prepared the pasch. Mk. 14:16
And when evening was come, he cometh with the twelve. Mk. 14:17
And having taken the chalice, giving thanks, he gave it to them. And they all drank of it. Mk. 14:23
And he said to them: This is my blood of the new testament, which shall be shed for many. Mk. 14:24
But he spoke the more vehemently: Although I should die together with thee, I will not deny thee. And in like manner also said they all. Mk. 14:31
And they came to a farm called Gethsemani. And he saith to his disciples: Sit you here, while I pray. Mk. 14:32
And he taketh Peter and James and John with him: and he began to fear and to be heavy. Mk. 14:33
And he saith to them: My soul is sorrowful even unto death. Stay you here and watch. Mk. 14:34
And when he was gone forward a little, he fell flat on the ground: and he prayed that, if it might be, the hour might pass from him. Mk. 14:35
And he saith: Abba, Father, all things are possible to thee: remove this chalice from me; but not what I will, but what thou wilt. Mk. 14:36
And he cometh and findeth them sleeping. And he saith to Peter: Simon, sleepest thou? Couldst thou not watch one hour? Mk. 14:37
And going away again, he prayed, saying the same words. Mk. 14:39
And when he returned, he found them again asleep (for their eyes were heavy): and they knew not what to answer him. Mk. 14:40
And he cometh the third time and saith to them: Sleep ye now and take your rest. It is enough. The hour is come: behold the Son of man shall be betrayed into the hands of sinners. Mk. 14:41
Rise up: let us go. Behold, he that will betray me is at hand. Mk. 14:42
And while he was yet speaking, cometh Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve: and with him a great multitude with swords and staves, from the chief priests and the scribes and the ancients. Mk. 14:43
And he that betrayed him had given them a sign, saying: Whomsoever I shall kiss, that is he. Lay hold on him: and lead him away carefully. Mk. 14:44
And when he was come, immediately going up to him he saith: Hail, Rabbi! And he kissed him. Mk. 14:45
But he, casting off the linen cloth, fled from them naked. Mk. 14:52
And Peter followed him afar off, even into the court of the high priest. And he sat with the servants at the fire and warmed himself. Mk. 14:54
But he held his peace and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked him and said to him: Art thou the Christ, the Son of the Blessed God? Mk. 14:61
But he denied, saying: I neither know nor understand what thou sayest. And he went forth before the court; and the cock crew. Mk. 14:68
But he denied again. And after a, while they that stood by said again to Peter: Surely thou art one of them; for thou art also a Galilean. Mk. 14:70
But he began to curse and to swear, saying: I know not this man of whom you speak. Mk. 14:71
And immediately the cock crew again. And Peter remembered the word that Jesus had said unto him: Before the cock crow twice, thou shalt thrice deny me. And he began to weep, Mk. 14:72
And Pilate asked him: Art thou the king of the Jews? But he answering, saith to him: Thou sayest it. Mk. 15:2
Now on the festival day he was wont to release unto them one of the prisoners, whomsoever they demanded. Mk. 15:6
And when the multitude was come up, they began to desire that he would do as he had ever done unto them. Mk. 15:8
For he knew that the chief priests had delivered him up out of envy. Mk. 15:10
But the chief priests moved the people, that he should rather release Barabbas to them. Mk. 15:11
And Pilate saith to them: Why, what evil hath he done? But they cried out the more: Crucify him. Mk. 15:14
And so Pilate being willing to satisfy the people, released to them Barabbas: and delivered up Jesus, when he had scourged him, to be crucified. Mk. 15:15
And they gave him to drink wine mingled with myrrh. But he took it not. Mk. 15:23
And the scripture was fulfilled, which saith: And with the wicked he was reputed. Mk. 15:28
In like manner also the chief priests, mocking, said with the scribes one to another: He saved others; himself he cannot save. Mk. 15:31
And some of the standers by hearing, said: Behold he calleth Elias. Mk. 15:35
And the centurion who stood over against him, seeing that crying out in this manner he had given up the ghost, said: Indeed this man was the son of God. Mk. 15:39
Who also when he was in Galilee followed him and ministered to him, and many other women that came up with him to Jerusalem. Mk. 15:41
But Pilate wondered that he should be already dead. And sending for the centurion, he asked him if he were already dead. Mk. 15:44
And when he had understood it by the centurion, he gave the body to Joseph. Mk. 15:45
And Joseph, buying fine linen and taking him down, wrapped him up in the fine linen and laid him in a sepulchre which was hewed out of a rock. And he rolled a stone to the door of the sepulchre. Mk. 15:46
And Mary Magdalen and Mary the mother of Joseph, beheld where he was laid. Mk. 15:47
Who saith to them: Be not affrighted, you seek Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He is risen: he is not here. Behold the place where they laid him. Mk. 16:6
But go, tell his disciples and Peter that he goeth before you into Galilee. There you shall see him, as he told you. Mk. 16:7
But he rising early the first day of the week, appeared first to Mary Magdalen; out of whom he had cast seven devils. Mk. 16:9
And they hearing that he was alive and had been seen by her, did not believe. Mk. 16:11
And after that he appeared in another shape to two of them walking, as they were going into the country. Mk. 16:12
At length he appeared to the eleven as they were at table: and he upbraided them with their incredulity and hardness of heart, because they did not believe them who had seen him after he was risen again. Mk. 16:14
And he said to them: Go ye into the whole world and preach the gospel to every creature. Mk. 16:15
He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved: but he that believeth not shall be condemned. Mk. 16:16
And the Lord Jesus, after he had spoken to them, was taken up into heaven and sitteth on the right hand of God. Mk. 16:19
And it came to pass, when he executed the priestly function in the order of his course before God, Lk. 1:8
For he shall be great before the Lord and shall drink no wine nor strong drink: and he shall be filled with the Holy Ghost, even from his mother's womb. Lk. 1:15
And he shall convert many of the children of Israel to the Lord their God. Lk. 1:16
And he shall go before him in the spirit and power of Elias: that he may turn the hearts of the fathers unto the children and the incredulous to the wisdom of the just, to prepare unto the Lord a perfect people. Lk. 1:17
And the people were waiting for Zachary: and they wondered that he tarried so long in the temple. Lk. 1:21
And when he came out, he could not speak to them: and they understood that he had seen a vision in the temple. And he made signs to them and remained dumb. Lk. 1:22
And it came to pass, after the days of his office were accomplished, he departed to his own house. Lk. 1:23
Thus hath the Lord dealt with me in the days wherein he hath had regard to take away my reproach among men. Lk. 1:25
He shall be great and shall be called the Son of the Most High. And the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of David his father: and he shall reign in the house of Jacob for ever. Lk. 1:32
Because he hath regarded the humility of his handmaid: for behold from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed. Lk. 1:48
Because he that is mighty hath done great things to me: and holy is his name. Lk. 1:49
He hath shewed might in his arm: he hath scattered the proud in the conceit of their heart. Lk. 1:51
He hath put down the mighty from their seat and hath exalted the humble. Lk. 1:52
He hath filled the hungry with good things: and the rich he hath sent empty away. Lk. 1:53
He hath received Israel his servant, being mindful of his mercy. Lk. 1:54
As he spoke to our fathers: to Abraham and to his seed for ever. Lk. 1:55
And his mother answering, said: Not so. But he shall be called John. Lk. 1:60
And they made signs to his father, how he would have him called. Lk. 1:62
And demanding a writing table, he wrote, saying: John is his name. And they all wondered. Lk. 1:63
And immediately his mouth was opened and his tongue loosed: and he spoke, blessing God. Lk. 1:64
And Zachary his father was filled with the Holy Ghost. And he prophesied, saying: Lk. 1:67
Blessed be the Lord God of Israel: because he hath visited and wrought the redemption of his people. Lk. 1:68
As he spoke by the mouth of his holy prophets, who are from the beginning. Lk. 1:70
The oath, which he swore to Abraham our father, Lk. 1:73
That he would grant to us. That being delivered from the hand of our enemies, we may serve him without fear: Lk. 1:74
And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem: because he was of the house and family of David. Lk. 2:4
And after eight days were accomplished, that the child should be circumcised, his name was called JESUS, which was called by the angel before he was conceived in the womb. Lk. 2:21
And he had received an answer from the Holy Ghost, that he should not see death before he had seen the Christ of the Lord. Lk. 2:26
And he came by the Spirit into the temple. And when his parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for him according to the custom of the law, Lk. 2:27
He also took him into his arms and blessed God and said Lk. 2:28
And when he was twelve years old, they going up into Jerusalem, according to the custom of the feast, Lk. 2:42
And thinking that he was in the company, they came a day's journey and sought him among their kinsfolks and acquaintance. Lk. 2:44
And he said to them: How is it that you sought me? Did you not know that I must be about my father's business? Lk. 2:49
And they understood not the word that he spoke unto them. Lk. 2:50
And he went down with them and came to Nazareth and was subject to them. And his mother kept all these words in her heart. Lk. 2:51
And he came into all the country about the Jordan, preaching the baptism of penance for the remission of sins. Lk. 3:3
He said therefore to the multitudes that went forth to be baptized by him: Ye offspring of vipers, who hath shewed you to flee from the wrath to come? Lk. 3:7
And he answering, said to them: He that hath two coats, let him give to him that hath none; and he that hath meat, let him do in like manner. Lk. 3:11
But he said to them: Do nothing more than that which is appointed you. Lk. 3:13
And the soldiers also asked him, saying: And what shall we do? And he said to them: Do violence to no man, neither calumniate any man; and be content with your pay. Lk. 3:14
And as the people were of opinion, and all were thinking in their hearts of John, that perhaps he might be the Christ: Lk. 3:15
John answered, saying unto all: I indeed baptize you with water: but there shall come one mightier than I, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to loose. He shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with fire; Lk. 3:16
Whose fan is in his hand: and he will purge his floor and will gather the wheat into his barn: but the chaff he will burn with unquenchable fire. Lk. 3:17
And many other things exhorting did he preach to the people. Lk. 3:18
But Herod the tetrarch, when he was reproved by him for Herodias, his brother's wife, and for all the evils which Herod had done: Lk. 3:19
He added this also above all and shut up John in prison. Lk. 3:20
For the space of forty days, and was tempted by the devil. And he ate nothing in those days. And when they were ended, he was hungry. Lk. 4:2
And he said to him: To thee will I give all this power and the glory of them. For to me they are delivered: and to whom I will, I give them. Lk. 4:6
And he brought him to Jerusalem and set him on a pinnacle of the temple and said to him: If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself from hence. Lk. 4:9
For it is written that He hath given his angels charge over thee that they keep thee. Lk. 4:10
And he taught in their synagogues and was magnified by all. Lk. 4:15
And he came to Nazareth, where he was brought up: and he went into the synagogue, according to his custom, on the sabbath day: and he rose up to read. Lk. 4:16
And the book of Isaias the prophet was delivered unto him. And as he unfolded the book, he found the place where it was written: Lk. 4:17
The spirit of the Lord is upon me. Wherefore he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor, he hath sent me to heal the contrite of heart, to preach deliverance to the captives and sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, Lk. 4:18
And when he had folded the book, he restored it to the minister and sat down. And the eyes of all in the synagogue were fixed on him. Lk. 4:20
And he began to say to them: This day is fulfilled this scripture in your ears. Lk. 4:21
And he said to them: Doubtless you will say to me this similitude: Physician, heal thyself. As great things as we have heard done in Capharnaum, do also here in thy own country. Lk. 4:23
And he said: Amen I say to you that no prophet is accepted in his own country. Lk. 4:24
But he passing through the midst of them, went his way. Lk. 4:30
And he went down into Capharnaum, a city of Galilee: and there he taught them on the sabbath days. Lk. 4:31
And in the synagogue there was a man who had an unclean devil: and he cried out with a loud voice, Lk. 4:33
And Jesus rebuked him, saying: Hold thy peace and go out of him. And when the devil had thrown him into the midst, he went out of him and hurt him not at all. Lk. 4:35
And there came fear upon all; and they talked among themselves, saying: What word is this, for with authority and power he commandeth the unclean spirits, and they go out? Lk. 4:36
And standing over her, he commanded the fever: and it left her. And immediately rising, she ministered to them. Lk. 4:39
And when the sun was down, all they that had any sick with divers diseases brought them to him. But he, laying his hands on every one of them, healed them. Lk. 4:40
And devils went out from many, crying out and saying: Thou art the son of God. And rebuking them he suffered them not to speak; for they knew that he was Christ. Lk. 4:41
And when it was day, going out he went into a desert place: and the multitudes sought him, and came unto him. And they stayed him that he should not depart from them. Lk. 4:42
To whom he said: To other cities also I must preach the kingdom of God: for therefore am I sent. Lk. 4:43
And he was preaching in the synagogues of Galilee. Lk. 4:44
¤ And it came to pass, that when the multitudes pressed upon him to hear the word of God, he stood by the lake of Genesareth, Lk. 5:1
And going into one of the ships that was Simon's, he desired him to draw back a little from the land. And sitting, he taught the multitudes out of the ship. Lk. 5:3
Now when he had ceased to speak, he said to Simon: Launch out into the deep and let down your nets for a draught. Lk. 5:4
Which when Simon Peter saw, he fell down at Jesus' knees, saying: Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, O Lord. Lk. 5:8
For he was wholly astonished, and all that were with him, at the draught of the fishes which they had taken. Lk. 5:9
And it came to pass, when he was in a certain city, behold a man full of leprosy who, seeing Jesus and falling on his face, besought him saying: Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean. Lk. 5:12
And stretching forth his hand, he touched him, saying: I will. Be thou cleansed. And immediately the leprosy departed from him. Lk. 5:13
And he charged him that he should tell no man, but: Go, shew thyself to the priest and offer for thy cleansing according as Moses commanded, for a testimony to them. Lk. 5:14
And he retired into the desert; and prayed. Lk. 5:16
And it came to pass on a certain day, as he sat teaching, that there were also Pharisees and doctors of the law sitting by, that were come out of every town of Galilee and Judea and Jerusalem: and the power of the Lord was to heal them. Lk. 5:17
Whose faith when he saw, he said: Man, thy sins are forgiven thee. Lk. 5:20
And when Jesus knew their thoughts, answering he said to them: What is it you think in your hearts? Lk. 5:22
But that you may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins (he saith to the sick of the palsy), I say to thee: Arise, take up thy bed and go into thy house. Lk. 5:24
And immediately rising up before them, he took up the bed on which he lay: and he went away to his own house, glorifying God. Lk. 5:25
And after these things, he went forth and saw a publican named Levi, sitting at the receipt of custom: and he said to him: Follow me. Lk. 5:27
And leaving all things, he rose up and followed him. Lk. 5:28
To whom he said: Can you make the children of the bridegroom fast whilst the bridegroom is with them? Lk. 5:34
And he spoke also a similitude to them: That no man putteth a piece from a new garment upon an old garment: otherwise he both rendeth the new, and the piece taken from the new agreeth not with the old. Lk. 5:36
And no man drinking old hath presently a mind to new: for he saith: The old is better. Lk. 5:39
¤ And it came to pass on the second first sabbath that, as he went through the corn fields, his disciples plucked the ears and did eat, rubbing them in their hands. Lk. 6:1
How he went into the house of God and took and ate the bread of proposition and gave to them that were with him, which is not lawful to eat but only for the priests? Lk. 6:4
And he said to them: The Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath. Lk. 6:5
And it came to pass also, on another sabbath, that he entered into the synagogue and taught. And there was a man whose right hand was withered. Lk. 6:6
And the scribes and Pharisees watched if he would heal on the sabbath: that they might find an accusation against him. Lk. 6:7
But he knew their thoughts and said to the man who had the withered hand: Arise and stand forth in the midst. And rising he stood forth. Lk. 6:8
And looking round about on them all, he said to the man: Stretch forth thy hand. And he stretched it forth. And his hand was restored. Lk. 6:10
And it came to pass in those days, that he went out into a mountain to pray: and he passed the whole night in the prayer of God. Lk. 6:12
And when day was come, he called unto him his disciples: and he chose twelve of them (whom also he named apostles): Lk. 6:13
Simon, whom he surnamed Peter, and Andrew his brother, James and John, Philip and Bartholomew, Lk. 6:14
And coming down with them, he stood in a plain place: and the company of his disciples and a very great multitude of people from all Judea and Jerusalem and the sea coast, both of Tyre and Sidon, who were come to hear him and to be healed of their diseases. Lk. 6:17
And he, lifting up his eyes on his disciples, said: Blessed are ye poor: for yours is the kingdom of God. Lk. 6:20
But love ye your enemies: do good, and lend, hoping for nothing thereby: and your reward shall be great, and you shall be the sons of the Highest. For he is kind to the unthankful and to the evil. Lk. 6:35
And he spoke also to them a similitude: Can the blind lead the blind? Do they not both fall into the ditch? Lk. 6:39
The disciple is not above his master: but every one shall be perfect, if he be as his master. Lk. 6:40
Every one that cometh to me and heareth my words and doth them, I will shew you to whom he is like. Lk. 6:47
He is like to a man building a house, who digged deep and laid the foundation upon a rock. And when a flood came, the stream beat vehemently upon that house: and it could not shake it: for it was founded on a rock. Lk. 6:48
But he that heareth and doth not is like to a man building his house upon the earth without a foundation: against which the stream beat vehemently. And immediately it fell: and the ruin of that house was great. Lk. 6:49
¤ And when he had finished all his words in the hearing of the people, he entered into Capharnaum. Lk. 7:1
And when he had heard of Jesus, he sent unto him the ancients of the Jews, desiring him to come and heal his servant. Lk. 7:3
And when they came to Jesus, they besought him earnestly, saying to him: He is worthy that thou shouldest do this for him. Lk. 7:4
For he loveth our nation: and he hath built us a synagogue. Lk. 7:5
And Jesus went with them. And when he was now not far from the house, the centurion sent his friends to him, saying: Lord, trouble not thyself; for I am not worthy that thou shouldst enter under my roof. Lk. 7:6
For I also am a man subject to authority, having under me soldiers: and I say to one, Go, and he goeth: and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doth it. Lk. 7:8
Which Jesus hearing, marvelled: and turning about to the multitude that followed him, he said: Amen I say to you, I have not found so great faith, not even in Israel. Lk. 7:9
And it came to pass afterwards that he went into a city that is called Naim: and there went with him his disciples and a great multitude. Lk. 7:11
And when he came nigh to the gate of the city, behold a dead man was carried out, the only son of his mother: and she was a widow. And a great multitude of the city was with her. Lk. 7:12
Whom when the Lord had seen, being moved with mercy towards her, he said to her: Weep not. Lk. 7:13
And he came near and touched the bier. And they that carried it stood still. And he said: Young man, I say to thee, arise. Lk. 7:14
And he that was dead sat up and began to speak. And he gave him to his mother. Lk. 7:15
And John called to him two of his disciples and sent them to Jesus, saying: Art thou he that art to come? Or look we for another? Lk. 7:19
And when the men were come unto him, they said: John the Baptist hath sent us to thee, saying: Art thou he that art to come? Or look we for another? Lk. 7:20
(And in that same hour, he cured many of their diseases and hurts and evil spirits: and to many that were blind he gave sight.) Lk. 7:21
And answering, he said to them: Go and relate to John what you have heard and seen: the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are made clean, the deaf hear, the dead rise again, to the poor the gospel is preached. Lk. 7:22
And blessed is he whosoever shall not be scandalized in me. Lk. 7:23
And when the messengers of John were departed, he began to speak to the multitudes concerning John. What went ye out into the desert to see? A reed shaken with the wind? Lk. 7:24
This is he of whom it is written: Behold I send my angel before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee. Lk. 7:27
For I say to you: Amongst those that are born of women, there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist. But he that is the lesser in the kingdom of God is greater than he. Lk. 7:28
For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine. And you say: He hath a devil. Lk. 7:33
And one of the Pharisees desired him to eat with him. And he went into the house of the Pharisee and sat down to meat. Lk. 7:36
And behold a woman that was in the city, a sinner, when she knew that he sat at meat in the Pharisee's house, brought an alabaster box of ointment. Lk. 7:37
And the Pharisee, who had invited him, seeing it, spoke within himself, saying: This man, if he were a prophet, would know surely who and what manner of woman this is that toucheth him, that she is a sinner. Lk. 7:39
And Jesus answering, said to him: Simon, I have somewhat to say to thee. But he said: Master, say it. Lk. 7:40
And whereas they had not wherewith to pay, he forgave them both. Which therefore of the two loveth him most? Lk. 7:42
Simon answering, said: I suppose that he to whom he forgave most. And he said to him: Thou hast judged rightly. Lk. 7:43
And turning to the woman, he said unto Simon: Dost thou see this woman? I entered into thy house: thou gavest me no water for my feet. But she with tears hath washed my feet; and with her hairs hath wiped them. Lk. 7:44
Wherefore, I say to thee: Many sins are forgiven her, because she hath loved much. But to whom less is forgiven, he loveth less. Lk. 7:47
And he said to her: Thy sins are forgiven thee. Lk. 7:48
And he said to the woman: Thy faith hath made thee safe. Go in peace. Lk. 7:50
¤ And it came to pass afterwards that he travelled through the cities and towns, preaching and evangelizing the kingdom of God: and the twelve with him: Lk. 8:1
And when a very great multitude was gathered together and hastened out of the cities, unto him, he spoke by a similitude. Lk. 8:4
The sower went out to sow his seed. And as he sowed, some fell by the way side. And it was trodden down: and the fowls of the air devoured it. Lk. 8:5
And other some fell upon good ground and, being sprung up, yielded fruit a hundredfold. Saying these things, he cried out: He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. Lk. 8:8
To whom he said: To you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God; but to the rest in parables, that seeing they may not see and hearing may not understand. Lk. 8:10
Take heed therefore how you hear. For whosoever hath, to him shall be given: and whosoever hath not, that also which he thinketh he hath shall be taken away from him. Lk. 8:18
And it came to pass on a certain day that he went into a little ship with his disciples. And he said to them: Let us go over to the other side of the lake. And they launched forth. Lk. 8:22
And when they were sailing, he slept. And there came down a storm of wind upon the lake: and they were filled and were in danger. Lk. 8:23
And they came and awaked him, saying: Master, we perish. But he arising, rebuked the wind and the rage of the water. And it ceased: and there was a calm. Lk. 8:24
And he said to them: Where is your faith? Who being afraid, wondered, saying one to another: Who is this (think you), that he commandeth both the winds and the sea: and they obey him? Lk. 8:25
And when he was come forth to the land, there met him a certain man who had a devil now a very long time. And he wore no clothes: neither did he abide in a house, but in the sepulchres. Lk. 8:27
And when he saw Jesus, he fell down before him. And crying out with a loud voice, he said: What have I to do with thee, Jesus, Son of the most high God? I beseech thee, do not torment me. Lk. 8:28
For he commanded the unclean spirit to go out of the man. For many times it seized him: and he was bound with chains and kept in fetters: and breaking the bonds, he was driven by the devil into the deserts. Lk. 8:29
And Jesus asked him, saying: What is thy name? But he said: Legion. Because many devils were entered into him. Lk. 8:30
And they besought him that he would not command them to go into the abyss. Lk. 8:31
And there was there a herd of many swine feeding on the mountain: and they besought him that he would suffer them to enter into them. And he suffered them. Lk. 8:32
And they also that had seen told them how he had been healed from the legion. Lk. 8:36
And all the multitude of the country of the Gerasens besought him to depart from them: for they were taken with great fear. And he, going up into the ship, returned back again. Lk. 8:37
Now the man out of whom the devils were departed besought him that he might be with him. But Jesus sent him away, saying: Lk. 8:38
Return to thy house and tell how great things God hath done to thee. And he went through the whole city, publishing how great things Jesus had done to him. Lk. 8:39
And behold there came a man whose name was Jairus: and he was a ruler of the synagogue. And he fell down at the feet of Jesus, beseeching him that he would come into his house: Lk. 8:41
For he had an only daughter, almost twelve years old, and she was dying. And it happened as he went that he was thronged by the multitudes. Lk. 8:42
But he said to her: Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole. Go thy way in peace. Lk. 8:48
As he was yet speaking, there cometh one to the ruler of the synagogue, saying to him: Thy daughter is dead: trouble him not. Lk. 8:49
And when he was come to the house, he suffered not any man to go in with him, but Peter and James and John, and the father and mother of the maiden. Lk. 8:51
And all wept and mourned for her. But he said: Weep not. The maid is not dead, but sleepeth. Lk. 8:52
But he taking her by the hand, cried out, saying: Maid, arise. Lk. 8:54
And her spirit returned: and she arose immediately. And he bid them give her to eat. Lk. 8:55
And her parents were astonished, whom he charged to tell no man what was done. Lk. 8:56
¤ Then calling together the twelve apostles, he gave them power and authority over all devils and to cure diseases. Lk. 9:1
And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God and to heal the sick. Lk. 9:2
And he said to them: Take nothing for your journey, neither staff, nor scrip, nor bread, nor money; neither have two coats. Lk. 9:3
Now Herod, the tetrarch, heard of all things that were done by him. And he was in a doubt, because it was said by some that John was risen from the dead: Lk. 9:7
And Herod said: John I have beheaded. But who is this of whom I hear such things? And he sought to see him. Lk. 9:9
And the apostles, when they were returned, told him all they had done. And taking them, he went aside into a desert place, apart, which belongeth to Bethsaida. Lk. 9:10
Which when the people knew, they followed him: and he received them and spoke to them of the kingdom of God and healed them who had need of healing. Lk. 9:11
But he said to them: Give you them to eat. And they said: We have no more than five loaves and two fishes; unless perhaps, we should go and buy food for all this multitude. Lk. 9:13
Now there were about five thousand men. And he said to his disciples: Make them sit down by fifties in a company. Lk. 9:14
And taking the five loaves and the two fishes, he looked up to heaven and blessed them: and he broke and distributed to his disciples, to set before the multitude. Lk. 9:16
And it came to pass, as he was alone praying, his disciples also were with him: and he asked them, saying: Whom do the people say that I am? Lk. 9:18
And he said to them: But whom do you say that I am? Simon Peter answering, said: The Christ of God. Lk. 9:20
But he strictly charging them, commanded they should tell this to no man. Lk. 9:21
And he said to all: If any man will come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me. Lk. 9:23
For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: for he that shall lose his life for my sake shall save it. Lk. 9:24
For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world and lose himself and cast away himself? Lk. 9:25
For he that shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him the Son of man shall be ashamed, when he shall come in his majesty and that of his Father and of the holy angels. Lk. 9:26
And it came to pass, about eight days after these words, that he took Peter and James and John and went up into a mountain to pray. Lk. 9:28
And whilst he prayed, the shape of his countenance was altered and his raiment became white and glittering. Lk. 9:29
Appearing in majesty. And they spoke of his decease that he should accomplish in Jerusalem. Lk. 9:31
And it came to pass that, as they were departing from him, Peter saith to Jesus: Master, it is good for us to be here: and let us make three tabernacles, one for thee, and one for Moses; and one for Elias: not knowing what he said. Lk. 9:33
And as he spoke these things, there came a cloud and overshadowed them. And they were afraid when they entered into the cloud. Lk. 9:34
And behold a man among the crowd cried out, saying: Master, I beseech thee, look upon my son, because he is my only one. Lk. 9:38
And lo, a spirit seizeth him, and he suddenly crieth out, and he throweth him down and teareth him, so that he foameth; and bruising him, he hardly departeth from him. Lk. 9:39
And as he was coming to him, the devil threw him down and tore him. And Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit and cured the boy and restored him to his father. Lk. 9:42
And all were astonished at the mighty power of God. But while all wondered at all the things he did, he said to his disciples: Lk. 9:43
And said to them: Whosoever shall receive this child in my name receiveth me; and whosoever shall receive me receiveth him that sent me. For he that is the lesser among you all, he is the greater. Lk. 9:48
And John, answering, said: Master, we saw a certain man casting out devils in thy name: and we forbade him, because he followeth not with us. Lk. 9:49
And Jesus said to him: Forbid him not: for he that is not against you is for you. Lk. 9:50
And it came to pass, when the days of his assumption were accomplishing, that he steadfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem. Lk. 9:51
And he sent messengers before his face: and going, they entered into a city of the Samaritans, to prepare for him. Lk. 9:52
And turning, he rebuked them, saying: You know not of what spirit you are. Lk. 9:55
But he said to another: Follow me. And he said: Lord, suffer me first to go and to bury my father. Lk. 9:59
¤ And after these things, the Lord appointed also other seventy-two. And he sent them two and two before his face into every city and place whither he himself was to come. Lk. 10:1
And he said to them: The harvest indeed is great, but the labourers are few. Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest that he send labourers into his harvest. Lk. 10:2
He that heareth you heareth me: and he that despiseth you despiseth me: and he that despiseth me despiseth him that sent me. Lk. 10:16
And he said to them: I saw Satan like lightning falling from heaven. Lk. 10:18
In that same hour, he rejoiced in the Holy Ghost and said: I confess to thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hidden these things from the wise and prudent and hast revealed them to little ones. Yea, Father, for so it hath seemed good in thy sight. Lk. 10:21
And turning to his disciples, he said: Blessed are the eyes that see the things which you see. Lk. 10:23
But he said to him: What is written in the law? How readest thou? Lk. 10:26
He answering, said: Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with thy whole heart and with thy whole soul and with all thy strength and with all thy mind: and thy neighbour as thyself. Lk. 10:27
And he said to him: Thou hast answered right. This do: and thou shalt live. Lk. 10:28
But he willing to justify himself, said to Jesus: And who is my neighbour? Lk. 10:29
In like manner also a Levite, when he was near the place and saw him, passed by. Lk. 10:32
And the next day he took out two pence and gave to the host and said: Take care of him; and whatsoever thou shalt spend over and above, I, at my return, will repay thee. Lk. 10:35
But he said: He that shewed mercy to him. And Jesus said to him: Go, and do thou in like manner. Lk. 10:37
Now it came to pass, as they went, that he entered into a certain town: and a certain woman named Martha received him into her house. Lk. 10:38
¤ And it came to pass that as he was in a certain place praying, when he ceased, one of his disciples said to him: Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples. Lk. 11:1
And he said to them: When you pray, say: Father, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Lk. 11:2
And he said to them: Which of you shall have a friend and shall go to him at midnight and shall say to him: Friend, lend me three loaves, Lk. 11:5
And he from within should answer and say: Trouble me not; the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed. I cannot rise and give thee. Lk. 11:7
Yet if he shall continue knocking, I say to you, although he will not rise and give him because he is his friend; yet, because of his importunity, he will rise and give him as many as he needeth. Lk. 11:8
For every one that asketh receiveth: and he that seeketh findeth: and to him that knocketh it shall be opened: Lk. 11:10
And which of you, if he ask his father bread, will he give him a stone? Or a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent? Lk. 11:11
Or if he shall ask an egg, will he reach him a scorpion? Lk. 11:12
And he was casting out a devil: and the same was dumb. And when he had cast out the devil, the dumb spoke: and the multitudes, were in admiration at it. Lk. 11:14
But some of them said: He casteth out devils by Beelzebub, the prince of devils. Lk. 11:15
But he seeing their thoughts, said to them: Every kingdom divided against itself shall be brought to desolation; and house upon house shall fall. Lk. 11:17
When a strong man armed keepeth his court, those things are in peace which he possesseth. Lk. 11:21
But if a stronger than he come upon him and overcome him, he will take away all his armour wherein he trusted and will distribute his spoils. Lk. 11:22
He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth. Lk. 11:23
When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through places without water, seeking rest: and not finding, he saith: I will return into my house whence I came out. Lk. 11:24
And when he is come, he findeth it swept and garnished. Lk. 11:25
Then he goeth and taketh with him seven other spirits more wicked than himself: and entering in they dwell there. And the last state of that man becomes worse than the first. Lk. 11:26
And it came to pass, as he spoke these things, a certain woman from the crowd, lifting up her voice, said to him: Blessed is the womb that bore thee and the paps that gave thee suck. Lk. 11:27
But he said: Yea rather, blessed are they who hear the word of God and keep it. Lk. 11:28
And the multitudes running together, he began to say: This generation is a wicked generation. It asketh a sign: and a sign shall not be given it, but the sign of Jonas the prophet. Lk. 11:29
And as he was speaking, a certain Pharisee prayed him that he would dine with him. And he going in, sat down to eat. Lk. 11:37
And the Pharisee began to say, thinking within himself, why he was not washed before dinner. Lk. 11:38
Ye fools, did not he that made that which is without make also that which is within? Lk. 11:40
But he said: Woe to you lawyers also, because you load men with burdens which they cannot bear and you yourselves touch not the packs with one of your fingers. Lk. 11:46
And as he was saying these things to them, the Pharisees and the lawyers began violently to urge him and to oppress his mouth about many things, Lk. 11:53
¤ And when great multitudes stood about him, so that they trod one upon another, he began to say to his disciples: Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy. Lk. 12:1
But I will shew you whom you shall fear: Fear ye him who, after he hath killed, hath power to cast into hell. Yea, I say to you: Fear him. Lk. 12:5
But he that shall deny me before men shall be denied before the angels of God. Lk. 12:9
And one of the multitude said to him: Master, speak to my brother that he divide the inheritance with me. Lk. 12:13
But he said to him: Man, who hath appointed me judge or divider over you? Lk. 12:14
And he said to them: Take heed and beware of all covetousness: for a man's life doth not consist in the abundance of things which he possesseth. Lk. 12:15
And he spoke a similitude to them, saying: The land of a certain rich man brought forth plenty of fruits. Lk. 12:16
And he thought within himself, saying: What shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my fruits? Lk. 12:17
And he said: This will I do: I will pull down my barns and will build greater: and into them will I gather all things that are grown to me and my goods. Lk. 12:18
So is he that layeth up treasure for himself and is not rich towards God. Lk. 12:21
And he said to his disciples: Therefore I say to you: Be not solicitous for your life, what you shall eat, nor for your body, what you shall put on. Lk. 12:22
And you yourselves like to men who wait for their lord, when he shall return from the wedding; that when he cometh and knocketh, they may open to him immediately. Lk. 12:36
Blessed are those servants whom the Lord, when he cometh, shall find watching. Amen I say to you that he will gird himself and make them sit down to meat and passing will minister unto them. Lk. 12:37
And if he shall come in the second watch or come in the third watch and find them so, blessed are those servants. Lk. 12:38
But this know ye, that if the householder did know at what hour the thief would come, he would surely watch and would not suffer his house to be broken open. Lk. 12:39
Blessed is that servant whom, when his lord shall come, he shall find so doing. Lk. 12:43
Verily I say to you, he will set him over all that he possesseth. Lk. 12:44
The lord of that servant will come in the day that he hopeth not, and at the hour that he knoweth not: and shall separate him and shall appoint him his portion with unbelievers. Lk. 12:46
But he that knew not and did things worthy of stripes shall be beaten with few stripes. And unto whomsoever much is given, of him much shall be required: and to whom they have committed much, of him they will demand the more. Lk. 12:48
And he said also to the multitudes: When you see a cloud rising from the west, presently you say: A shower is coming. And so it happeneth. Lk. 12:54
And when thou goest with thy adversary to the prince, whilst thou art in the way, endeavour to be delivered from him: lest perhaps he draw thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the exacter, and the exacter cast thee into prison. Lk. 12:58
And he answering, said to them: Think you that these Galileans were sinners above all the men of Galilee, because they suffered such things? Lk. 13:2
He spoke also this parable: A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard: and he came seeking fruit on it and found none. Lk. 13:6
And he said to the dresser of the vineyard: Behold, for these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree and I find none. Cut it down therefore. Why cumbereth it the ground? Lk. 13:7
But he answering, said to him: Lord, let it alone this year also, until I dig about it and dung it. Lk. 13:8
And he was teaching in their synagogue on their sabbath. Lk. 13:10
Whom when Jesus saw, he called her unto him and said to her: Woman, thou art delivered from thy infirmity. Lk. 13:12
And he laid his hands upon her: and immediately she was made straight and glorified God. Lk. 13:13
And when he said these things, all his adversaries were ashamed: and all the people rejoiced for all the things that were gloriously done by him. Lk. 13:17
He said therefore: To what is the kingdom of God like, and whereunto shall I resemble it? Lk. 13:18
And again he said: Whereunto shall I esteem the kingdom of God to be like? Lk. 13:20
And he went through the cities and towns teaching and making his journey to Jerusalem. Lk. 13:22
And a certain man said to him: Lord, are they few that are saved? But he said to them: Lk. 13:23
But when the master of the house shall be gone in and shall shut the door, you shall begin to stand without; and knock at the door, saying: Lord, open to us. And he answering, shall say to you: I know you not, whence you are. Lk. 13:25
And he shall say to you: I know you not, whence you are. Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity. Lk. 13:27
And he said to them: Go and tell that fox: Behold, I cast out devils and do cures, to-day and to-morrow, and the third day I am consummated. Lk. 13:32
Behold your house shall be left to you desolate. And I say to you that you shall not see me till the time come when you shall say: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord. Lk. 13:35
But they held their peace. But he taking him, healed him and sent him away. Lk. 14:4
And answering them, he said: Which of you shall have an ass or an ox fall into a pit and will not immediately draw him out, on the sabbath day? Lk. 14:5
And he spoke a parable also to them that were invited, marking how they chose the first seats at the table, saying to them: Lk. 14:7
And he that invited thee and him, come and say to thee: Give this man place. And then thou begin with shame to take the lowest place. Lk. 14:9
But when thou art invited, go, sit down in the lowest place; that when he who invited thee cometh, he may say to thee: Friend, go up higher. Then shalt thou have glory before them that sit at table with thee. Lk. 14:10
Because every one that exalteth himself shall be humbled: and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted. Lk. 14:11
And he said to him also that had invited him: When thou makest a dinner or a supper, call not thy friends nor thy brethren nor thy kinsmen nor thy neighbours who are rich; lest perhaps they also invite thee again, and a recompense be made to thee. Lk. 14:12
When one of them that sat at table with him had heard these things, he said to him: Blessed is he that shall eat bread in the kingdom of God. Lk. 14:15
But he said to him: A certain man made a great supper and invited many. Lk. 14:16
And he sent his servant at the hour of supper to say to them that were invited, that they should come: for now all things are ready. Lk. 14:17
And there went great multitudes with him. And turning, he said to them: Lk. 14:25
If any man come to me, and hate not his father and mother and wife and children and brethren and sisters, yea and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple. Lk. 14:26
For which of you, having a mind to build a tower, doth not first sit down and reckon the charges that are necessary, whether he have wherewithal to finish it: Lk. 14:28
Lest, after he hath laid the foundation and is not able to finish it, all that see it begin to mock him, Lk. 14:29
Or, what king, about to go to make war against another king, doth not first sit down and think whether he be able, with ten thousand, to meet him that, with twenty thousand, cometh against him? Lk. 14:31
Or else, while the other is yet afar off, sending an embassy, he desireth conditions of peace. Lk. 14:32
So likewise every one of you that doth not renounce all that he possesseth cannot be my disciple. Lk. 14:33
It is neither profitable for the land nor for the dunghill: but shall be cast out. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. Lk. 14:35
And he spoke to them this parable, saying: Lk. 15:3
What man of you that hath an hundred sheep, and if he shall lose one of them, doth he not leave the ninety-nine in the desert and go after that which was lost, until he find it? Lk. 15:4
And when he hath found it, lay it upon his shoulders, rejoicing? Lk. 15:5
And he said: A certain man had two sons. Lk. 15:11
And the younger of them said to his father: Father, give me the portion of substance that falleth to me. And he divided unto them his substance. Lk. 15:12
And after he had spent all, there came a mighty famine in that country: and he began to be in want. Lk. 15:14
And he went and cleaved to one of the citizens of that country. And he sent him into his farm to feed swine. Lk. 15:15
And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks the swine did eat: and no man gave unto him. Lk. 15:16
And returning to himself, he said: How many hired servants in my father's house abound with bread, and I here perish with hunger! Lk. 15:17
And rising up, he came to his father. And when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him and was moved with compassion and running to him fell upon his neck and kissed him. Lk. 15:20
Now his elder son was in the field and when he came and drew nigh to the house, he heard music and dancing. Lk. 15:25
And he called one of the servants, and asked what these things meant. Lk. 15:26
And he said to him: Thy brother is come and thy father hath killed the fatted calf, because he hath received him safe. Lk. 15:27
And he was angry and would not go in. His father therefore coming out began to entreat him. Lk. 15:28
And he answering, said to his father: Behold, for so many years do I serve thee and I have never transgressed thy commandment: and yet thou hast never given me a kid to make merry with my friends. Lk. 15:29
But he said to him: Son, thou art always with me; and all I have is thine. Lk. 15:31
But it was fit that we should make merry and be glad: for this thy brother was dead and is come to life again; he was lost, and is found. Lk. 15:32
¤ And he said also to his disciples: There was a certain rich man who had a steward: and the same was accused unto him, that he had wasted his goods. Lk. 16:1
And he called him and said to him: How is it that I hear this of thee? Give an account of thy stewardship: for now thou canst be steward no longer. Lk. 16:2
Therefore, calling together every one of his lord's debtors, he said to the first: How much dost thou owe my lord? Lk. 16:5
But he said: An hundred barrels of oil. And he said to him: Take thy bill and sit down quickly and write fifty. Lk. 16:6
Then he said to another: And how much dost thou owe? Who said: An hundred quarters of wheat. He said to him: Take thy bill and write eighty. Lk. 16:7
And the lord commended the unjust steward, forasmuch as he had done wisely: for the children of this world are wiser in their generation than the children of light. Lk. 16:8
He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in that which is greater: and he that is unjust in that which is little is unjust also in that which is greater. Lk. 16:10
No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one and love the other: or he will hold to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon. Lk. 16:13
And he said to them: You are they who justify yourselves before men, but God knoweth your hearts. For that which is high to men is an abomination before God. Lk. 16:15
Every one that putteth away his wife and marrieth another committeth adultery: and he that marrieth her that is put away from her husband committeth adultery. Lk. 16:18
And it came to pass that the beggar died and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom. And the rich man also died: and he was buried in hell. Lk. 16:22
And lifting up his eyes when he was in torments, he saw Abraham afar off and Lazarus in his bosom: Lk. 16:23
And he cried and said: Father Abraham, have mercy on me and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water to cool my tongue: for I am tormented in this flame. Lk. 16:24
And Abraham said to him: Son, remember that thou didst receive good things in thy lifetime, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted and thou art tormented. Lk. 16:25
And he said: Then, father, I beseech thee that thou wouldst send him to my father's house, Lk. 16:27
For I have five brethren, that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torments. Lk. 16:28
But he said: No, father Abraham: but if one went to them from the dead, they will do penance. Lk. 16:30
And he said to him: If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they believe, if one rise again from the dead. Lk. 16:31
¤ And he said to his disciples: It is impossible that scandals should not come. But woe to him through whom they come! Lk. 17:1
It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck and he cast into the sea, than that he should scandalize one of these little ones. Lk. 17:2
Take heed to yourselves. If thy brother sin against thee, reprove him: and if he do penance, forgive him. Lk. 17:3
And if he sin against thee seven times in a day, and seven times in a day be converted unto thee, saying: I repent: forgive him. Lk. 17:4
But which of you, having a servant ploughing or feeding cattle, will say to him, when he is come from the field: Immediately go. Sit down to meat. Lk. 17:7
Doth he thank that servant for doing the things which he commanded him? I think not. Lk. 17:9
And it came to pass, as he was going to Jerusalem, he passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee. Lk. 17:11
And as he entered into a certain town, there met him ten men that were lepers, who stood afar off. Lk. 17:12
Whom when he saw, he said: Go, shew yourselves to the priests. And it came to pass, as they went, they were made clean. Lk. 17:14
And one of them, when he saw that he was made clean, went back, with a loud voice glorifying God. Lk. 17:15
And he fell on his face before his feet, giving thanks. And this was a Samaritan. Lk. 17:16
And he said to him: Arise, go thy way; for thy faith hath made thee whole. Lk. 17:19
And being asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said: The kingdom of God cometh not with observation. Lk. 17:20
And he said to his disciples: The days will come when you shall desire to see one day of the Son of man. And you shall not see it. Lk. 17:22
But first he must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation. Lk. 17:25
In that hour, he that shall be on the housetop, and his goods in the house, let him not go down to take them away: and he that shall be in the field, in like manner, let him not return back. Lk. 17:31
¤ And he spoke also a parable to them, that we ought always to pray and not to faint, Lk. 18:1
And he would not for a long time. But afterwards he said within himself: Although I fear not God nor regard man, Lk. 18:4
And will not God revenge his elect who cry to him day and night? And will he have patience in their regard? Lk. 18:7
I say to you that he will quickly revenge them. But yet the Son of man, when he cometh, shall he find, think you, faith on earth? Lk. 18:8
And to some who trusted in themselves as just and despised others, he spoke also this parable: Lk. 18:9
I say to you, this man went down into his house justified rather than the other: because every one that exalteth himself shall be humbled: and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted. Lk. 18:14
And they brought unto him also infants, that he might touch them. Which when the disciples saw, they rebuked them. Lk. 18:15
Which when Jesus had heard, he said to him: Yet one thing is wanting to thee. Sell all whatever thou hast and give to the poor: and thou shalt have treasure in heaven. And come, follow me. Lk. 18:22
He having heard these things, became sorrowful: for he was very rich. Lk. 18:23
He said to them: The things that are impossible with men are possible with God. Lk. 18:27
For he shall be delivered to the Gentiles and shall be mocked and scourged and spit upon. Lk. 18:32
And after they have scourged him, they will put him to death. And the third day he shall rise again. Lk. 18:33
Now it came to pass, when he drew nigh to Jericho, that a certain blind man sat by the way side, begging. Lk. 18:35
And when he heard the multitude passing by, he asked what this meant. Lk. 18:36
And he cried out, saying: Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me. Lk. 18:38
And they that went before rebuked him, that he should hold his peace: but he cried out much more: Son of David, have mercy on me. Lk. 18:39
And Jesus standing, commanded him to be brought unto him. And when he was come near, he asked him, Lk. 18:40
Saying; What wilt thou that I do to thee? But he said: Lord, that I may see. Lk. 18:41
And immediately he saw and followed him, glorifying God. And all the people, when they saw it, gave praise to God. Lk. 18:43
¤ And entering he walked through Jericho. Lk. 19:1
And behold, there was a man named Zacheus, who was the chief of the publicans: and he was rich. Lk. 19:2
And he sought to see Jesus who he was: and he could not for the crowd, because he was low of stature. Lk. 19:3
And running before, he climbed up into a sycamore tree, that he might see him: for he was to pass that way. Lk. 19:4
And when Jesus was come to the place, looking up, he saw him and said to him: Zacheus, make haste and come down: for this day I must abide in thy house. Lk. 19:5
And he made haste and came down and received him with joy. Lk. 19:6
And when all saw it, they murmured, saying, that he was gone to be a guest with a man that was a sinner. Lk. 19:7
Jesus said to him: This day is salvation come to this house, because he also is a son of Abraham. Lk. 19:9
As they were hearing these things, he added and spoke a parable, because he was nigh to Jerusalem and because they thought that the kingdom of God should immediately be manifested. Lk. 19:11
He said therefore: A certain nobleman went into a far country, to receive for himself a kingdom and to return. Lk. 19:12
And calling his ten servants, he gave them ten pounds and said to them: Trade till I come. Lk. 19:13
And it came to pass that he returned, having received the kingdom: and he commanded his servants to be called, to whom he had given the money, that he might know how much every man had gained by trading, Lk. 19:15
And he said to him: Well done, thou good servant, because thou hast been faithful in a little, thou shalt have power over ten cities. Lk. 19:17
And he said to him: Be thou also over five cities. Lk. 19:19
He saith to him: Out of thy own mouth I judge thee, thou wicked servant. Thou knewest that I was an austere man, taking up what I laid not down and reaping that which I did not sow. Lk. 19:22
And he said to them that stood by: Take the pound away from him and give it to him that hath ten pounds. Lk. 19:24
And they said to him: Lord, he hath ten pounds. Lk. 19:25
But I say to you that to every one that hath shall be given, and he shall abound: and from him that hath not, even that which he hath shall be taken from him. Lk. 19:26
And having said these things, he went before, going up to Jerusalem. Lk. 19:28
And it came to pass, when he was come nigh to Bethphage and Bethania, unto the mount called Olivet, he sent two of his disciples, Lk. 19:29
And they that were sent went their way and found the colt standing, as he had said unto them. Lk. 19:32
And as he went, they spread their clothes underneath in the way. Lk. 19:36
And when he was now coming near the descent of Mount Olivet, the whole multitude of his disciples began with joy to praise God with a loud voice, for all the mighty works they had seen, Lk. 19:37
To whom he said: I say to you that if these shall hold their peace, the stones will cry out. Lk. 19:40
And when he drew near, seeing the city, he wept over it, Lk. 19:41
And entering into the temple, he began to cast out them that sold therein and them that bought. Lk. 19:45
And he was teaching daily in the temple. And the chief priests and the scribes and the rulers of the people sought to destroy him. Lk. 19:47
¤ And it came to pass that on one of the days, as he was teaching the people in the temple and preaching the gospel, the chief priests and the scribes, with the ancients, met together, Lk. 20:1
And spoke to him, saying: Tell us, by what authority dost thou these things? Or, who is he that hath given thee this authority? Lk. 20:2
But they thought within themselves, saying: If we shall say, From heaven: he will say: Why then did you not believe him? Lk. 20:5
And he began to speak to the people this parable: A certain man planted a vineyard and let it out to husbandmen: and he was abroad for a long time. Lk. 20:9
And at the season he sent a servant to the husbandmen, that they should give him of the fruit of the vineyard. Who, beating him, sent him away empty. Lk. 20:10
And again he sent another servant. But they beat him also and, treating him reproachfully, sent him away empty. Lk. 20:11
And again he sent the third: and they wounded him also and cast him out. Lk. 20:12
He will come and will destroy these husbandmen and will give the vineyard to others. Which they hearing, said to him: God forbid. Lk. 20:16
But he looking on them, said: What is this then that is written, The stone, which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner? Lk. 20:17
And the chief priests and the scribes sought to lay hands on him the same hour: but they feared the people, for they knew that he spoke this parable to them. Lk. 20:19
But he, considering their guile, said to them: Why tempt you me? Lk. 20:23
And he said to them: Render therefore to Caesar the things, that are Caesar's: and to God the things that are God's. Lk. 20:25
Saying: Master, Moses wrote unto us: If any man's brother die, having a wife, and he leave no children, that his brother should take her to wife and raise up seed unto his brother. Lk. 20:28
And the next took her to wife: and he also died childless. Lk. 20:30
Now that the dead rise again, Moses also shewed at the bush, when he called the Lord: The God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob. Lk. 20:37
For he is not the God of the dead, but of the living: for all live to him. Lk. 20:38
But he said to them: How say they that Christ is the son of David? Lk. 20:41
David then calleth him Lord. And how is he his son? Lk. 20:44
And in the hearing of all the people, he said to his disciples: Lk. 20:45
¤ And looking on, he saw the rich men cast their gifts into the treasury. Lk. 21:1
And he saw also a certain poor widow casting in two brass mites. Lk. 21:2
And he said: Verily, I say to you that this poor widow hath cast in more than they all. Lk. 21:3
And some saying of the temple that it was adorned with goodly stones and gifts, he said: Lk. 21:5
Who said: Take heed you be not seduced: for many will come in my name, saying: I am he and the time is at hand. Go ye not therefore after them. Lk. 21:8
Then he said to them: Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. Lk. 21:10
And he spoke to them a similitude. See the fig tree and all the trees: Lk. 21:29
And in the daytime, he was teaching in the temple: but at night going out, he abode in the mount that is called Olivet. Lk. 21:37
And he went and discoursed with the chief priests and the magistrates, how he might betray him to them. Lk. 22:4
And he promised. And he sought opportunity to betray him in the absence of the multitude. Lk. 22:6
And he sent Peter and John, saying: Go, and prepare for us the pasch, that we may eat. Lk. 22:8
And he said to them: Behold, as you go into the city, there shall meet you a man carrying a pitcher of water: follow him into the house where he entereth in. Lk. 22:10
And he will shew you a large dining room, furnished. And there prepare. Lk. 22:12
And they going, found as he had said to them and made ready the pasch. Lk. 22:13
And when the hour was come, he sat down: and the twelve apostles with him. Lk. 22:14
And he said to them: With desire I have desired to eat this pasch with you, before I suffer. Lk. 22:15
And having taken the chalice, he gave thanks and said: Take and divide it among you. Lk. 22:17
And taking bread, he gave thanks and brake and gave to them, saying: This is my body, which is given for you. Do this for a commemoration of me. Lk. 22:19
In like manner, the chalice also, after he had supped, saying: This is the chalice, the new testament in my blood, which shall be shed for you. Lk. 22:20
And the Son of man indeed goeth, according to that which is determined: but yet, woe to that man by whom he shall be betrayed. Lk. 22:22
And he said to them: The kings of the Gentiles lord it over them; and they that have power over them are called beneficent. Lk. 22:25
But you not so: but he that is the greater among you, let him become as the younger: and he that is the leader, as he that serveth. Lk. 22:26
For which is greater, he that sitteth at table or he that serveth? Is not he that sitteth at table? But I am in the midst of you, as he that serveth. Lk. 22:27
And the Lord said: Simon, Simon, behold Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat. Lk. 22:31
And he said: I say to thee, Peter, the cock shall not crow this day, till thou thrice deniest that thou knowest me. Lk. 22:34
And he said to them: When I sent you without purse and scrip and shoes, did you want anything? But they said: Nothing. Lk. 22:35
Then said he unto them: But now he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise a scrip: and he that hath not, let him sell his coat and buy a sword. Lk. 22:36
For I say to you that this that is written must yet be fulfilled in me. And with the wicked was he reckoned. For the things concerning me have an end. Lk. 22:37
But they said: Lord, behold, here are two swords. And he said to them: It is enough. Lk. 22:38
And going out, he went, according to his custom, to the Mount of Olives. And his disciples also followed him. Lk. 22:39
And when he was come to the place, he said to them: Pray, lest ye enter into temptation. Lk. 22:40
And he was withdrawn away from them a stone's cast. And kneeling down, he prayed. Lk. 22:41
And being in an agony, he prayed the longer. And his sweat became as drops of blood, trickling down upon the ground. Lk. 22:44
And when he rose up from prayer and was come to his disciples, he found them sleeping for sorrow. Lk. 22:45
And he said to them: Why sleep you? Arise: pray: lest you enter into temptation. Lk. 22:46
As he was yet speaking, behold a multitude; and he that was called Judas, one of the twelve, went before them and drew near to Jesus, for to kiss him. Lk. 22:47
But Jesus answering, said: Suffer ye thus far. And when he had touched his ear, he healed him. Lk. 22:51
But he denied him, saying: Woman, I know him not. Lk. 22:57
And after the space, as it were of one hour, another certain man affirmed, saying: Of a truth, this man was also with him: for he is also a Galilean. Lk. 22:59
And Peter said: Man, I know not what thou sayest. And immediately, as he was yet speaking, the cock crew. Lk. 22:60
And the Lord turning looked on Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, as he had said: Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice. Lk. 22:61
If thou be the Christ, tell us. And he saith to them: If I shall tell you, you will not believe me. Lk. 22:67
And they began to accuse him, saying: We have found this man perverting our nation and forbidding to give tribute to Caesar and saying that he is Christ the king. Lk. 23:2
And Pilate asked him, saying: Art thou the king of the Jews? But he answering, said: Thou sayest it. Lk. 23:3
But they were more earnest, saying: He stirreth up the people, teaching throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee to this place. Lk. 23:5
And when he understood that he was of Herod's jurisdiction, he sent him away to Herod, who was also himself at Jerusalem in those days. Lk. 23:7
And Herod seeing Jesus, was very glad: for he was desirous of a long time to see him, because he had heard many things of him; and he hoped to see some sign wrought by him. Lk. 23:8
And he questioned him in many words. But he answered him nothing. Lk. 23:9
Now of necessity he was to release unto them one upon the feast day. Lk. 23:17
And he said to them the third time: Why, what evil hath this man done? I find no cause of death in him. I will chastise him therefore and let him go. Lk. 23:22
But they were instant with loud voices, requiring that he might be crucified. And their voices prevailed. Lk. 23:23
And he released unto them him who for murder and sedition had been cast into prison, whom they had desired. But Jesus he delivered up to their will. Lk. 23:25
And the people stood beholding. And the rulers with them derided him, saying: He saved others: let him save himself, if he be Christ, the elect of God. Lk. 23:35
And he said to Jesus: Lord, remember me when thou shalt come into thy kingdom. Lk. 23:42
And Jesus crying with a loud voice, said: Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit. And saying this, he gave up the ghost. Lk. 23:46
And taking him down, he wrapped him in fine linen and laid him in a sepulchre that was hewed in stone, wherein never yet any man had been laid. Lk. 23:53
He is not here, but is risen. Remember how he spoke unto you, when he was yet in Galilee, Lk. 24:6
But Peter rising up, ran to the sepulchre and, stooping down, he saw the linen cloths laid by themselves: and went away wondering in himself at that which was come to pass. Lk. 24:12
And he said to them: What are these discourses that you hold one with another as you walk and are sad? Lk. 24:17
To whom he said: What things? And they said: Concerning Jesus of Nazareth, who was a prophet, mighty in work and word before God and all the people. Lk. 24:19
But we hoped that it was he that should have redeemed Israel. And now besides all this, to-day is the third day since these things were done. Lk. 24:21
And not finding his body, came, saying that they had also seen a vision of angels, who say that he is alive. Lk. 24:23
Then he said to them: O foolish and slow of heart to believe in all things, Which the prophets have spoken. Lk. 24:25
And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded to them in all the scriptures the things that were concerning him. Lk. 24:27
And they drew nigh to the town whither they were going: and he made as though he would go farther. Lk. 24:28
But they constrained him, saying: Stay with us, because it is towards evening and the day is now far spent. And he went in with them. Lk. 24:29
And it came to pass, whilst he was at table with them, he took bread and blessed and brake and gave to them. Lk. 24:30
And their eyes were opened: and they knew him. And he vanished out of their sight. Lk. 24:31
And they said one to the other: Was not our heart burning within us, whilst he spoke in the way and opened to us the scriptures? Lk. 24:32
And he said to them: Why are you troubled, and why do thoughts arise in your hearts? Lk. 24:38
And when he had said this, he shewed them his hands and feet. Lk. 24:40
But while they yet believed not and wondered for joy, he said: Have you here any thing to eat? Lk. 24:41
And when he had eaten before them, taking the remains, he gave to them. Lk. 24:43
And he said to them: These are the words which I spoke to you while I was yet with you, that all things must needs be fulfilled which are written in the law of Moses and in the prophets and in the psalms, concerning me. Lk. 24:44
Then he opened their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures. Lk. 24:45
And he said to them: Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer and to rise again from the dead, the third day: Lk. 24:46
And he led them out as far as Bethania: and lifting up his hands, he blessed them. Lk. 24:50
And it came to pass, whilst he blessed them, he departed from them and was carried up to heaven. Lk. 24:51
He was not the light, but was to give testimony of the light. Jn. 1:8
He was in the world: and the world was made by him: and the world knew him not. Jn. 1:10
He came unto his own: and his own received him not. Jn. 1:11
But as many as received him, he gave them power to be made the sons of God, to them that believe in his name. Jn. 1:12
John beareth witness of him and crieth out, saying: This was he of whom I spoke: He that shall come after me is preferred before me: because he was before me. Jn. 1:15
No man hath seen God at any time: the only begotten Son who is in the Bosom of the Father, he hath declared him. Jn. 1:18
And he confessed and did not deny: and he confessed: I am not the Christ. Jn. 1:20
And they asked him: What then? Art thou Elias? And he said: I am not. Art thou the prophet? And he answered: No. Jn. 1:21
He said: I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, make straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Isaias. Jn. 1:23
The same is he that shall come after me, who is preferred before me: the latchet of whose shoe I am not worthy to loose. Jn. 1:27
The next day, John saw Jesus coming to him; and he saith: Behold the Lamb of God. Behold him who taketh away the sin of the world. Jn. 1:29
This is he of whom I said: After me there cometh a man, who is preferred before me: because he was before me. Jn. 1:30
And I knew him not: but that he may be made manifest in Israel, therefore am I come baptizing with water. Jn. 1:31
And John gave testimony, saying: I saw the Spirit coming down, as a dove from heaven; and he remained upon him. Jn. 1:32
And I knew him not: but he who sent me to baptize with water said to me: He upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending and remaining upon him, he it is that baptizeth with the Holy Ghost. Jn. 1:33
And beholding Jesus walking, he saith: Behold the Lamb of God. Jn. 1:36
He saith to them: Come and see. They came and saw where he abode: and they stayed with him that day. Now it was about the tenth hour. Jn. 1:39
He findeth first his brother Simon and saith to him: We have found the Messias, which is, being interpreted, the Christ. Jn. 1:41
And he brought him to Jesus. And Jesus looking upon him, said: Thou art Simon the son of Jona. Thou shalt be called Cephas, which is interpreted Peter. Jn. 1:42
On the following day, he would go forth into Galilee: and he findeth Philip, And Jesus saith to him: Follow me. Jn. 1:43
Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him and he saith of him: Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom there is no guile. Jn. 1:47
And he saith to him: Amen, amen, I say to you, you shall see the heaven opened and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man. Jn. 1:51
His mother saith to the waiters: Whatsoever he shall say to you, do ye. Jn. 2:5
After this, he went down to Capharnaum, he and his mother and his brethren and his disciples: and they remained there not many days. Jn. 2:12
And he found in the temple them that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of money sitting. Jn. 2:14
And when he had made, as it were, a scourge of little cords, he drove them all out of the temple, the sheep also and the oxen: and the money of the changers he poured out, and the tables he overthrew. Jn. 2:15
And to them that sold doves he said: Take these things hence, and make not the house of my Father a house of traffic. Jn. 2:16
But he spoke of the temple of his body. Jn. 2:21
When therefore he was risen again from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this: and they believed the scripture and the word that Jesus had said. Jn. 2:22
Now when he was at Jerusalem, at the pasch, upon the festival day, many believed in his name, seeing his signs which he did. Jn. 2:23
But Jesus did not trust himself unto them: for that he knew all men, Jn. 2:24
And because he needed not that any should give testimony of man: for he knew what was in man. Jn. 2:25
Jesus answered and said to him: Amen, amen, I say to thee, unless a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. Jn. 3:3
Nicodemus saith to him: How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother's womb and be born again? Jn. 3:4
Jesus answered: Amen, amen, I say to thee, unless a man be born again of water and the Holy Ghost, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. Jn. 3:5
The Spirit breatheth where he will and thou hearest his voice: but thou knowest not whence he cometh and whither he goeth. So is every one that is born of the Spirit. Jn. 3:8
And no man hath ascended into heaven, but he that descended from heaven, the Son of man who is in heaven. Jn. 3:13
He that believeth in him is not judged. But he that doth not believe is already judged: because he believeth not in the name of the only begotten Son of God. Jn. 3:18
But he that doth truth cometh to the light, that his works may be made manifest: because they are done in God. Jn. 3:21
After these things, Jesus and his disciples came into the land of Judea: and there he abode with them and baptized. Jn. 3:22
And they came to John and said to him: Rabbi, he that was with thee beyond the Jordan, to whom thou gavest testimony: behold, he baptizeth and all men come to him. Jn. 3:26
He that hath the bride is the bridegroom: but the friend of the bridegroom, who standeth and heareth Him, rejoiceth with joy because of the bridegroom's voice. This my joy therefore is fulfilled. Jn. 3:29
He must increase: but I must decrease. Jn. 3:30
He that cometh from above is above all. He that is of the earth, of the earth he is, and of the earth he speaketh. He that cometh from heaven is above all. Jn. 3:31
And what he hath seen and heard, that he testifieth: and no man receiveth his testimony. Jn. 3:32
He that hath received his testimony hath set to his seal that God is true. Jn. 3:33
For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God doth not give the Spirit by measure. Jn. 3:34
The Father loveth the Son: and he hath given all things into his hand. Jn. 3:35
He that believeth in the Son hath life everlasting: but he that believeth not the Son shall not see life: but the wrath of God abideth on him. Jn. 3:36
He left Judea and went again into Galilee. Jn. 4:3
And he was of necessity to pass through Samaria. Jn. 4:4
He cometh therefore to a city of Samaria, which is called Sichar, near the land which Jacob gave to his son Joseph. Jn. 4:5
Jesus answered and said to her: If thou didst know the gift of God and who he is that saith to thee: Give me to drink; thou perhaps wouldst have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water. Jn. 4:10
But he that shall drink of the water that I will give him shall not thirst for ever. But the water that I will give him shall become in him a fountain of water, springing up into life everlasting. Jn. 4:14
For thou hast had five husbands: and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband. This, thou hast said truly. Jn. 4:18
The woman saith to him: I know that the Messias cometh (who is called Christ): therefore, when he is come, he will tell us all things. Jn. 4:25
Jesus saith to her: I am he, who am speaking with thee. Jn. 4:26
And immediately his disciples came. And they wondered that he talked with the woman. Yet no man said: What seekest thou? Or: Why talkest thou with her? Jn. 4:27
Come, and see a man who has told me all things whatsoever I have done. Is not he the Christ? Jn. 4:29
But he said to them: I have meat to eat which you know not. Jn. 4:32
And he that reapeth receiveth wages and gathereth fruit unto life everlasting: that both he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together. Jn. 4:36
Now of that city many of the Samaritans believed in him, for the word of the woman giving testimony: He told me all things whatsoever I have done. Jn. 4:39
So when the Samaritans were come to him, they desired that he would tarry there. And he abode there two days. Jn. 4:40
Now after two days, he departed thence and went into Galilee. Jn. 4:43
And when he was come into Galilee, the Galileans received him, having seen all the things he had done at Jerusalem on the festival day: for they also went to the festival day. Jn. 4:45
He came again therefore into Cana of Galilee, where he made the water wine. And there was a certain ruler, whose son was sick at Capharnaum. Jn. 4:46
He having heard that Jesus was come from Judea into Galilee, went to him and prayed him to come down and heal his son: for he was at the point of death. Jn. 4:47
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
This is again the second miracle that Jesus did, when he was come out of Judea, into Galilee. Jn. 4:54
And an angel of the Lord descended at certain times into the pond and the water was moved. And he that went down first into the pond after the motion of the water was made whole of whatsoever infirmity he lay under. Jn. 5:4
Him when Jesus had seen lying, and knew that he had been now a long time, he saith to him: Wilt thou be made whole? Jn. 5:6
And immediately the man was made whole: and he took up his bed and walked. And it was the sabbath that day. Jn. 5:9
He answered them: He that made me whole, he said to me: Take up thy bed and walk. Jn. 5:11
But he who was healed knew not who it was: for Jesus went aside from the multitude standing in the place. Jn. 5:13
Therefore did the Jews persecute Jesus, because he did these things on the sabbath. Jn. 5:16
Hereupon therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he did not only break the sabbath but also said God was his Father, making himself equal to God. Jn. 5:18
Then Jesus answered and said to them: Amen, amen, I say unto you, the Son cannot do any thing of himself, but what he seeth the Father doing: for what things soever he doth, these the Son also doth in like manner. Jn. 5:19
For the Father loveth the Son and sheweth him all things which himself doth: and greater works than these will he shew him, that you may wonder. Jn. 5:20
For as the Father raiseth up the dead and giveth life: so the Son also giveth life to whom he will. Jn. 5:21
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
Amen, amen, I say unto you that he who heareth my word and believeth him that sent me hath life everlasting: and cometh not into judgment, but is passed from death to life. Jn. 5:24
For as the Father hath life in himself, so he hath given to the Son also to have life in himself. Jn. 5:26
And he hath given him power to do judgment, because he is the Son of man. Jn. 5:27
There is another that beareth witness of me: and I know that the witness which he witnesseth of me is true. Jn. 5:32
You sent to John: and he gave testimony to the truth. Jn. 5:33
He was a burning and a shining light: and you were willing for a time to rejoice in his light. Jn. 5:35
And you have not his word abiding in you: for whom he hath sent, him you believe not. Jn. 5:38
For if you did believe Moses, you would perhaps believe me also: for he wrote of me. Jn. 5:46
And a great multitude followed him, because they saw the miracles which he did on them that were diseased. Jn. 6:2
Jesus therefore went up into a mountain: and there he sat with his disciples. Jn. 6:3
When Jesus therefore had lifted up his eyes and seen that a very great multitude cometh to him, he said to Philip: Whence shall we buy bread, that these may eat? Jn. 6:5
And this he said to try him: for he himself knew what he would do. Jn. 6:6
And Jesus took the loaves: and when he had given thanks, he distributed to them that were set down. In like manner also of the fishes, as much as they would. Jn. 6:11
And when they were filled, he said to his disciples: Gather up the fragments that remain, lest they be lost. Jn. 6:12
Jesus therefore, when he knew that they would come to take him by force and make him king, fled again into the mountains, himself alone. Jn. 6:15
But he saith to them: It is I. Be not afraid. Jn. 6:20
Jesus answered and said to them: This is the work of God, that you believe in him whom he hath sent. Jn. 6:29
Our fathers did eat manna in the desert, as it is written: He gave them bread from heaven to eat. Jn. 6:31
And Jesus said to them: I am the bread of life. He that cometh to me shall not hunger: and he that believeth in me shall never thirst. Jn. 6:35
Now this is the will of the Father who sent me: that of all that he hath given me, I should lose nothing; but should raise it up again in the last day. Jn. 6:39
The Jews therefore murmured at him, because he had said: I am the living bread which came down from heaven. Jn. 6:41
And they said: Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How then saith he: I came down from heaven? Jn. 6:42
Not that any man hath seen the Father: but he who is of God, he hath seen the Father. Jn. 6:46
Amen, amen, I say unto you: He that believeth in me hath everlasting life. Jn. 6:47
This is the bread which cometh down from heaven: that if any man eat of it, he may not die. Jn. 6:50
I am the living bread which came down from heaven. If any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, for the life of the world. Jn. 6:51
He that eateth my flesh and drinketh my blood hath everlasting life: and I will raise him up in the last day. Jn. 6:54
He that eateth my flesh and drinketh my blood abideth in me: and I in him. Jn. 6:56
As the living Father hath sent me and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, the same also shall live by me. Jn. 6:57
This is the bread that came down from heaven. Not as your fathers did eat manna and are dead. He that eateth this bread shall live for ever. Jn. 6:58
These things he said, teaching in the synagogue, in Capharnaum. Jn. 6:59
If then you shall see the Son of man ascend up where he was before? Jn. 6:62
But there are some of you that believe not. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that did not believe and who he was that would betray him. Jn. 6:64
And he said: Therefore did I say to you that no man can come to me, unless it be given him by my Father. Jn. 6:65
Now he meant Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon: for this same was about to betray him, whereas he was one of the twelve. Jn. 6:71
¤ After these things, Jesus walked in Galilee: for he would not walk in Judea, because the Jews sought to kill him. Jn. 7:1
For there is no man that doth any thing in secret, and he himself seeketh to be known openly. If thou do these things, manifest thyself to the world. Jn. 7:4
When he had said these things, he himself stayed in Galilee. Jn. 7:9
But after his brethren were gone up, then he also went up to the feast, not openly, but, as it were, in secret. Jn. 7:10
The Jews therefore sought him on the festival day and said: Where is he? Jn. 7:11
And there was much murmuring among the multitude concerning him. For some said: He is a good man. And others said: No, but he seduceth the people. Jn. 7:12
If any man will do the will of him, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself. Jn. 7:17
He that speaketh of himself seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh the glory of him that sent him, he is true and there is no injustice in him. Jn. 7:18
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
But we know this man, whence he is: but when the Christ cometh, no man knoweth, whence he is. Jn. 7:27
Jesus therefore cried out in the temple, teaching and saying: You both know me, and you know whence I am. And I am not come of myself: but he that sent me is true, whom you know not. Jn. 7:28
I know him, because I am from him: and he hath sent me. Jn. 7:29
But of the people many believed in him and said: When the Christ cometh, shall he do more miracles than these which this man doth? Jn. 7:31
The Jews therefore said among themselves: Whither will he go, that we shall not find him? Will he go unto the dispersed among the Gentiles and teach the Gentiles? Jn. 7:35
What is this saying that he hath said: You shall seek me and shall not find me? And: Where I am, you cannot come? Jn. 7:36
He that believeth in me, as the scripture saith: Out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. Jn. 7:38
Now this he said of the Spirit which they should receive who believed in him: for as yet the Spirit was not given, because Jesus was not yet glorified. Jn. 7:39
Nicodemus said to them (he that came to him by night, who was one of them): Jn. 7:50
Doth our law judge any man, unless it first hear him and know what he doth? Jn. 7:51
And early in the morning he came again into the temple: and all the people came to him. And sitting down he taught them. Jn. 8:2
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
And again stooping down, he wrote on the ground. Jn. 8:8
Again therefore, Jesus spoke to: them, saying: I am the light of the world. He that followeth me walketh not in darkness, but shall have the light of life. Jn. 8:12
The Jews therefore said: Will he kill himself, because he said: Whither I go you cannot come? Jn. 8:22
And he said to them: You are from beneath: I am from above. You are of this world: I am not of this world. Jn. 8:23
Therefore I said to you that you shall die in your sins. For if you believe not that I am he, you shall die in your sin. Jn. 8:24
Many things I have to speak and to judge of you. But he that sent me, is true: and the things I have heard of him, these same I speak in the world. Jn. 8:26
And they understood not that he called God his Father. Jn. 8:27
Jesus therefore said to them: When you shall have lifted up, the Son of man, then shall you know that I am he and that I do nothing of myself. But as the Father hath taught me, these things I speak. Jn. 8:28
And he that sent me is with me: and he hath not left me alone. For I do always the things that please him. Jn. 8:29
When he spoke these things, many believed in him. Jn. 8:30
Jesus therefore said to them: If God were your Father, you would indeed love me. For from God I proceeded and came. For I came not of myself: but he sent me. Jn. 8:42
You are of your father the devil: and the desires of your father you will do. He was a murderer from the beginning: and he stood not in the truth, because truth is not in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father thereof. Jn. 8:44
He that is of God heareth the words of God. Therefore you hear them not, because you are not of God. Jn. 8:47
Amen, amen, I say to you: If any man keep my word, he shall not see death for ever. Jn. 8:51
The Jews therefore said: Now we know that thou hast a devil. Abraham is dead, and the prophets: and thou sayest: If any man keep my word, he shall not taste death for ever. Jn. 8:52
Jesus answered: If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing. It is my Father that glorifieth me, of whom you say that he is your God. Jn. 8:54
Abraham your father rejoiced that he might see my day: he saw it and was glad. Jn. 8:56
And his disciples asked him: Rabbi, who hath sinned, this man or his parents, that he should be born blind? Jn. 9:2
When he had said these things, he spat on the ground and made clay of the spittle and spread the clay upon his eyes, Jn. 9:6
And said to him: Go, wash in the pool of Siloe, which is interpreted, Sent. He went therefore and washed: and he came seeing. Jn. 9:7
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
Some said: This is he. But others said: No, but he is like him. But he said: I am he. Jn. 9:9
He answered: That man that is called Jesus made clay and anointed my eyes and said to me: Go to the pool of Siloe and wash. And I went: I washed: and I see. Jn. 9:11
And they said to him: Where is he? He saith: I know not. Jn. 9:12
Again therefore the Pharisees asked him how he had received his sight. But he said to them: He put clay upon my eyes: and I washed: and I see. Jn. 9:15
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
And asked them, saying: Is this your son, who you say was born blind? How then doth he now see? Jn. 9:19
His parents answered them and said: We know that this is our son and that he was born blind: Jn. 9:20
But how he now seeth, we know not: or who hath opened his eyes, we know not. Ask himself: he is of age: Let him speak for himself. Jn. 9:21
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
Therefore did his parents say: He is of age. Ask himself. Jn. 9:23
He said therefore to them: If he be a sinner, I know not. One thing I know, that whereas I was blind, now I see. Jn. 9:25
They said then to him: What did he to thee? How did he open thy eyes? Jn. 9:26
He answered them: I have told you already, and you have heard. Why would you hear it again? Will you also become his disciples? Jn. 9:27
We know that God spoke to Moses: but as to this man, we know not from whence he is. Jn. 9:29
The man answered and said to them: why, herein is a wonderful thing, that you know not from whence he is, and he hath opened my eyes. Jn. 9:30
Now we know that God doth not hear sinners: but if a man be a server of God and doth his, will, him he heareth. Jn. 9:31
Unless this man were of God, he could not do anything. Jn. 9:33
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
He answered, and said: Who is he, Lord, that I may believe in him? Jn. 9:36
And Jesus said to him: Thou hast both seen him; and it is he that talketh with thee. Jn. 9:37
And he said: I believe, Lord. And falling down, he adored him. Jn. 9:38
¤ Amen, amen, I say to you: He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold but climbeth up another way, the same is a thief and a robber. Jn. 10:1
But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. Jn. 10:2
To him the porter openeth: and the sheep hear his voice. And he calleth his own sheep by name and leadeth them out. Jn. 10:3
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
This proverb Jesus spoke to them. But they understood not what he spoke to them. Jn. 10:6
I am the door. By me, if any man enter in, he shall be saved: and he shall go in and go out, and shall find pastures. Jn. 10:9
But the hireling and he that is not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming and leaveth the sheep and flieth: and the wolf catcheth and scattereth the sheep, Jn. 10:12
And the hireling flieth, because he is a hireling: and he hath no care for the sheep. Jn. 10:13
And many of them said: He hath a devil and is mad. Why hear you him? Jn. 10:20
If he called them gods to whom the word of God was spoken; and the scripture cannot be broken: Jn. 10:35
They sought therefore to take him: and he escaped out of their hands. Jn. 10:39
And he went again beyond the Jordan, into that place where John was baptizing first. And there he abode. Jn. 10:40
His sisters therefore sent to him, saying: Lord, behold, he whom thou lovest is sick. Jn. 11:3
When he had heard therefore that he was sick, he still remained in the same place two days. Jn. 11:6
Then after that, he said to his disciples: Let us go into Judea again. Jn. 11:7
Jesus answered: Are there not twelve hours of the day? If a man walk in the day he stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this world: Jn. 11:9
But if he walk in the night, he stumbleth, because the light is not in him. Jn. 11:10
These things he said; and after that he said to them: Lazarus our friend sleepeth: but I go that I may awake him out of sleep. Jn. 11:11
His disciples therefore said: Lord, if he sleep, he shall do well. Jn. 11:12
But Jesus spoke of his death: and they thought that he spoke of the repose of sleep. Jn. 11:13
Jesus therefore came: and found that he had been four days already in the grave. Jn. 11:17
Martha saith to him: I know that he shall rise again, in the resurrection at the last day. Jn. 11:24
Jesus said to her: I am the resurrection and the life: he that believeth in me, although he be dead, shall live: Jn. 11:25
For Jesus was not yet come into the town: but he was still in that place where Martha had met him. Jn. 11:30
Jesus, therefore, when he saw her weeping, and the Jews that were come with her weeping, groaned in the spirit and troubled himself, Jn. 11:33
The Jews therefore said: Behold how he loved him. Jn. 11:36
But some of them said: Could not he that opened the eyes of the man born blind have caused that this man should not die? Jn. 11:37
Jesus saith: Take away the stone. Martha, the sister of him that was dead, saith to him: Lord, by this time he stinketh, for he is now of four days. Jn. 11:39
When he had said these things, he cried with a loud voice: Lazarus, come forth. Jn. 11:43
And presently he that had been dead came forth, bound feet and hands with winding bands. And his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus said to them: Loose him and let him go. Jn. 11:44
And this he spoke not of himself: but being the high priest of that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for the nation. Jn. 11:51
Wherefore Jesus walked no more openly among the Jews: but he went into a country near the desert, unto a city that is called Ephrem. And there he abode with his disciples. Jn. 11:54
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
Then one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, he that was about to betray him, said: Jn. 12:4
Now he said this not because he cared for the poor; but because he was a thief and, having the purse, carried the things that were put therein. Jn. 12:6
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
Took branches of palm trees and went forth to meet him and cried Hosanna. Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord, the king of Israel. Jn. 12:13
The multitude therefore gave testimony, which was with him, when he called Lazarus out of the grave and raised him from the dead. Jn. 12:17
For which reason also the people came to meet him, because they heard that he had done this miracle. Jn. 12:18
He that loveth his life shall lose it and he that hateth his life in this world keepeth it unto life eternal. Jn. 12:25
(Now this he said, signifying what death he should die.) Jn. 12:33
Jesus therefore said to them: Yet a little while, the light is among you. Walk whilst you have the light, that the darkness overtake you not. And he that walketh in darkness knoweth not whither he goeth. Jn. 12:35
Whilst you have the light, believe in the light, that you may be the children of light. These things Jesus spoke: and he went away and hid himself from them. Jn. 12:36
And whereas he had done so many miracles before them, they believed not in him: Jn. 12:37
That the saying of Isaias the prophet might be fulfilled, which he said: Lord, who hath believed our hearing? And to whom hath the arm of the Lord been revealed? Jn. 12:38
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
These things said Isaias, when he saw his glory, and spoke of him. Jn. 12:41
But Jesus cried and said: He that believeth in me doth not believe in me, but in him that sent me. Jn. 12:44
And he that seeth me, seeth him that sent me. Jn. 12:45
He that despiseth me and receiveth not my words hath one that judgeth him. The word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day. Jn. 12:48
For I have not spoken of myself: but the Father who sent me, he gave me commandment what I should say and what I should speak. Jn. 12:49
¤ Before the festival day of the pasch, Jesus knowing that his hour was come, that he should pass out of this world to the Father: having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them unto the end. Jn. 13:1
Knowing that the Father had given him all things into his hands and that he came from God and goeth to God, Jn. 13:3
He riseth from supper and layeth aside his garments and, having taken a towel, girded himself. Jn. 13:4
After that, he putteth water into a basin and began to wash the feet of the disciples and to wipe them with the towel wherewith he was girded. Jn. 13:5
He cometh therefore to Simon Peter. And Peter saith to him: Lord, dost thou wash my feet? Jn. 13:6
Jesus saith to him: He that is washed needeth not but to wash his feet, but is clean wholly. And you are clean, but not all. Jn. 13:10
For he knew who he was that would betray him; therefore he said: You are not all clean. Jn. 13:11
Then after he had washed their feet and taken his garments, being set down again, he said to them: Know you what I have done to you? Jn. 13:12
Amen, amen, I say to you: The servant is not greater than his lord: neither is the apostle greater than he that sent him. Jn. 13:16
I speak not of you all: I know whom I have chosen. But that the scripture may be fulfilled: He that eateth bread with me shall lift up his heel against me, Jn. 13:18
At present I tell you, before it come to pass: that when it shall come to pass, you may believe that I am he. Jn. 13:19
Amen, amen, I say to you, he that receiveth whomsoever I send receiveth me: and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me. Jn. 13:20
When Jesus had said these things, he was troubled in spirit; and he testified, and said: Amen, amen, I say to you, one of you shall betray me. Jn. 13:21
The disciples therefore looked one upon another, doubting of whom he spoke. Jn. 13:22
Simon Peter therefore beckoned to him and said to him: Who is it of whom he speaketh? Jn. 13:24
He therefore, leaning on the breast of Jesus, saith to him: Lord, who is it? Jn. 13:25
Jesus answered: He it is to whom I shall reach bread dipped. And when he had dipped the bread, he gave it to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon. Jn. 13:26
Now no man at the table knew to what purpose he said this unto him. Jn. 13:28
For some thought, because Judas had the purse, that Jesus had said to him: Buy those things which we have need of for the festival day: or that he should give something to the poor. Jn. 13:29
He therefore, having received the morsel, went out immediately. And it was night. Jn. 13:30
When he therefore was gone out, Jesus said: Now is the Son of man glorified; and God is glorified in him. Jn. 13:31
If God be glorified in him, God also will glorify him in himself: and immediately will he glorify him. Jn. 13:32
Jesus saith to him: Have I been so long a time with you and have you not known me? Philip, he that seeth me seeth the Father also. How sayest thou: Shew us the Father? Jn. 14:9
Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father in me? The words that I speak to you, I speak not of myself. But the Father who abideth in me, he doth the works. Jn. 14:10
Amen, amen, I say to you, he that believeth in me, the works that I do, he also shall do: and greater than these shall he do. Because I go to the Father: Jn. 14:12
And I will ask the Father: and he shall give you another Paraclete, that he may abide with you for ever: Jn. 14:16
The spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, nor knoweth him. But you shall know him; because he shall abide with you and shall be in you. Jn. 14:17
He that hath my commandments and keepeth them; he it is that loveth me. And he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father: and I will love him and will manifest myself to him. Jn. 14:21
Jesus answered and said to him: If any one love me, he will keep my word. And my Father will love him and we will come to him and will make our abode with him. Jn. 14:23
He that loveth me not keepeth not my words. And the word which you have heard is not mine; but the Father's who sent me. Jn. 14:24
But the Paraclete, the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things and bring all things to your mind, whatsoever I shall have said to you. Jn. 14:26
I will not now speak many things with you. For the prince of this world: cometh: and in me he hath not any thing. Jn. 14:30
Every branch in me that beareth not fruit, he will take away: and every one that beareth fruit, he will purge it, that it may bring forth more fruit. Jn. 15:2
I am the vine: you the branches. He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same beareth much fruit: for without me you can do nothing. Jn. 15:5
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
You have not chosen me: but I have chosen you; and have appointed you, that you should go and should bring forth fruit; and your fruit should remain: that whatsoever you shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you. Jn. 15:16
He that hateth me hateth my Father also. Jn. 15:23
But when the Paraclete cometh, whom I will send you from the Father, the Spirit of truth, who proceedeth from the Father, he shall give testimony of me. Jn. 15:26
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 when he is come, he will convince the world of sin and of justice and of judgment. Jn. 16:8
But when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will teach you all truth. For he shall not speak of himself: but what things soever he shall hear, he shall speak. And the things that are to come, he shall shew you. Jn. 16:13
He shall glorify me: because he shall receive of mine and shall shew it to you. Jn. 16:14
All things whatsoever the Father hath are mine. Therefore I said that he shall receive of mine and shew it to you. Jn. 16:15
Then some of his disciples said one to another: What is this that he saith to us: A little while, and you shall not see me: and again a little while, and you shall see me, and, Because I go to the Father? Jn. 16:17
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
And in that day you shall not ask me any thing. Amen, amen, I say to you: if you ask the Father any thing in my name, he will give it you. Jn. 16:23
¤ These things Jesus spoke: and lifting up his eyes to heaven, he said: Father, the hour is come. Glorify thy Son, that thy Son may glorify thee. Jn. 17:1
As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he may give eternal life to all whom thou hast given him. Jn. 17:2
¤ When Jesus had said these things, he went forth with his disciples over the brook Cedron, where there was a garden, into which he entered with his disciples. Jn. 18:1
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
Jesus answered: I have told you that I am he. If therefore you seek me, let these go their way, Jn. 18:8
That the word might be fulfilled which he said: Of them whom thou hast given me, I have not lost any one. Jn. 18:9
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
Now Caiphas was he who had given the counsel to the Jews: That it was expedient that one man should die for the people. Jn. 18:14
The maid therefore that was portress saith to Peter: Art not thou also one of this man's disciples? He saith I am not. Jn. 18:17
And when he had said these things, one of the servants standing by gave Jesus a blow, saying: Answerest thou the high priest so? Jn. 18:22
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
They answered and said to him: If he were not a malefactor, we would not have delivered him up to thee. Jn. 18:30
That the word of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he said, signifying what death he should die. Jn. 18:32
Pilate saith to him: What is truth? And when he said this, he went out again to the Jews and saith to them: I find no cause in him. Jn. 18:38
(Jesus therefore came forth, bearing the crown of thorns and the purple garment.) And he saith to them: Behold the Man. Jn. 19:5
The Jews answered him: We have a law; and according to the law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God. Jn. 19:7
When Pilate therefore had heard this saying, he feared the more. Jn. 19:8
And he entered into the hall again; and he said to Jesus: Whence art thou? But Jesus gave him no answer. Jn. 19:9
Jesus answered: Thou shouldst not have any power against me, unless it were given thee from above. Therefore, he that hath delivered me to thee hath the greater sin. Jn. 19:11
Now when Pilate had heard these words, he brought Jesus forth and sat down in the judgment seat, in the place that is called Lithostrotos, and in Hebrew Gabbatha. Jn. 19:13
And it was the parasceve of the pasch, about the sixth hour: and he saith to the Jews: Behold your king. Jn. 19:14
Then therefore he delivered him to them to be crucified. And they took Jesus and led him forth. Jn. 19:16
And bearing his own cross, he went forth to the place which is called Calvary, but in Hebrew Golgotha. Jn. 19:17
And Pilate wrote a title also: and he put it upon the cross. And the writing was: JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS. Jn. 19:19
Then the chief priests of the Jews said to Pilate: Write not: The King of the Jews. But that he said: I am the King of the Jews. Jn. 19:21
When Jesus therefore had seen his mother and the disciple standing whom he loved, he saith to his mother: Woman, behold thy son. Jn. 19:26
After that, he saith to the disciple: Behold thy mother. And from that hour, the disciple took her to his own. Jn. 19:27
Jesus therefore, when he had taken the vinegar, said: It is consummated. And bowing his head, he gave up the ghost. Jn. 19:30
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 he that saw it hath given testimony: and his testimony is true. And he knoweth that he saith true: that you also may believe. Jn. 19:35
And after these things, Joseph of Arimathea (because he was a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews), besought Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus. And Pilate gave leave. He came therefore and took the body of Jesus. Jn. 19:38
And Nicodemus also came (he who at the first came to Jesus by night), bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about an hundred pound weight. Jn. 19:39
Now there was in the place where he was crucified a garden: and in the garden a new sepulchre, wherein no man yet had been laid. Jn. 19:41
And when he stooped down, he saw the linen cloths lying: but yet he went not in. Jn. 20:5
Then that other disciple also went in, who came first to the sepulchre: and he saw and believed. Jn. 20:8
For as yet they knew not the scripture, that he must rise again from the dead. Jn. 20:9
Mary Magdalen cometh and telleth the disciples: I have seen the Lord; and these things he said to me. Jn. 20:18
And when he had said this, he shewed them his hands and his side. The disciples therefore were glad, when they saw the Lord. Jn. 20:20
He said therefore to them again: Peace be to you. As the Father hath sent me, I also send you. Jn. 20:21
When he had said this, he breathed on them; and he said to them: Receive ye the Holy Ghost. Jn. 20:22
The other disciples therefore said to him: We have seen the Lord. But he said to them: Except I shall see in his hands the print of the nails and put my finger into the place of the nails and put my hand into his side, I will not believe. Jn. 20:25
Then he saith to Thomas: Put in thy finger hither and see my hands. And bring hither thy hand and put it into my side. And be not faithless, but believing. Jn. 20:27
¤ After this, Jesus shewed himself again to the disciples at the sea of Tiberias. And he shewed himself after this manner. Jn. 21:1
He saith to them: Cast the net on the right side of the ship; and you shall find. They cast therefore: and now they were not able to draw it, for the multitude of fishes. Jn. 21:6
That disciple therefore whom Jesus loved said to Peter: It is the Lord. Simon Peter, when he heard that it was the Lord, girt his coat about him (for he was naked) and cast himself into the sea. Jn. 21:7
This is now the third time that Jesus was manifested to his disciples, after he was risen from the dead. Jn. 21:14
When therefore they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter: Simon, son of John, lovest thou me more than these? He saith to him: Yea, Lord, thou knowest that I love thee. He saith to him: Feed my lambs. Jn. 21:15
He saith to him again: Simon, son of John, lovest thou me? He saith to him: yea, Lord, thou knowest that I love thee. He saith to him: Feed my lambs. Jn. 21:16
He said to him the third time: Simon, son of John, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he had said to him the third time: Lovest thou me? And he said to him: Lord, thou knowest all things: thou knowest that I love thee. He said to him: Feed my sheep. Jn. 21:17
And this he said, signifying by what death he should glorify God. And when he had said this, he saith to him: Follow me. Jn. 21:19
Peter turning about, saw that disciple whom Jesus loved following, who also leaned on his breast at supper and said: Lord, who is he that shall betray thee? Jn. 21:20
Him therefore when Peter had seen, he saith to Jesus: Lord, and what shall this man do? Jn. 21:21
This saying therefore went abroad among the brethren, that that disciple should not die. And Jesus did not say to him: He should not die; but: So I will have him to remain till I come, what is it to thee? Jn. 21:23
Until the day on which, giving commandments by the Holy Ghost to the apostles whom he had chosen, he was taken up. Acts 1:2
To whom also he shewed himself alive after his passion, by many proofs, for forty days appearing to them, and speaking of the kingdom of God. Acts 1:3
And eating together with them, he commanded them, that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but should wait for the promise of the Father, which you have heard (saith he) by my mouth. Acts 1:4
But he said to them: It is not for you to know the times or moments, which the Father hath put in his own power: Acts 1:7
And when he had said these things, while they looked on, he was raised up: and a cloud received him out of their sight. Acts 1:9
And he indeed hath possessed a field of the reward of iniquity, and being hanged, burst asunder in the midst: and all his bowels gushed out. Acts 1:18
Beginning from the baptism of John, until the day wherein he was taken up from us, one of these must be made a witness with us of his resurrection. Acts 1:22
To take the place of this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas hath by transgression fallen, that he might go to his own place. Acts 1:25
And they gave them lots, and the lot fell upon Matthias, and he was numbered with the eleven apostles. Acts 1:26
Whom God hath raised up, having loosed the sorrows of hell, as it was impossible that he should be holden by it. Acts 2:24
For David saith concerning him: I foresaw the Lord before my face: because he is at my right hand, that I may not be moved. Acts 2:25
Ye men, brethren, let me freely speak to you of the patriarch David: that he died and was buried; and his sepulchre is with us to this present day. Acts 2:29
Whereas therefore he was a prophet and knew that God hath sworn to him with an oath, that of the fruit of his loins one should sit upon his throne. Acts 2:30
Foreseeing this, he spoke of the resurrection of Christ. For neither was he left in hell: neither did his flesh see corruption. Acts 2:31
Being exalted therefore by the right hand of God and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he hath poured forth this which you see and hear. Acts 2:33
For David ascended not into heaven; but he himself said: The Lord said to my Lord: Sit thou on my right hand, Acts 2:34
And with very many other words did he testify and exhort them, saying: Save yourselves from this perverse generation. Acts 2:40
And a certain man who was lame from his mother's womb was carried: whom they laid every day at the gate of the temple, which is called Beautiful, that he might ask alms of them that went into the temple. Acts 3:2
He, when he had seen Peter and John, about to go into the temple, asked to receive an alms. Acts 3:3
But he looked earnestly upon them, hoping that he should receive something of them. Acts 3:5
And taking him by the right hand, he lifted him up: and forthwith his feet and soles received strength. Acts 3:7
And he leaping up, stood and walked and went in with them into the temple, walking and leaping and praising God. Acts 3:8
And they knew him, that it was he who sat begging alms at the Beautiful gate of the temple: and they were filled with wonder and amazement at that which had happened to him. Acts 3:10
And as he held Peter and John, all the people ran to them, to the porch which is called Solomon's, greatly wondering. Acts 3:11
The God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob, the God of our fathers, hath glorified his Son Jesus, whom you indeed delivered up and denied before the face of Pilate, when he judged he should be released. Acts 3:13
But those things which God before had shewed by the mouth of all the prophets, that his Christ should suffer, he hath so fulfilled. Acts 3:18
And he shall send him who hath been preached unto you, Jesus Christ. Acts 3:20
For Moses said: A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me: him you shall hear according to all things whatsoever he shall speak to you. Acts 3:22
If we this day are examined concerning the good deed done to the infirm man, by what means he hath been made whole: Acts 4:9
Who having heard it, with one accord lifted up their voice to God and said: Lord, thou art he that didst make heaven and earth, the sea and all things that are in them. Acts 4:24
And the multitude of believers had but one heart and one soul. Neither did any one say that aught of the things which he possessed was his own: but all things were common unto them. Acts 4:32
And laid it down before the feet of the apostles. And distribution was made to every one, according as he had need. Acts 4:35
And he said to them: Ye men of Israel, take heed to yourselves what you intend to do, as touching these men. Acts 5:35
After this man, rose up Judas of Galilee, in the days of the enrolling, and drew away the people after him. He also perished: and all, even as many as consented to him, were dispersed. Acts 5:37
Who said: Ye men, brethren and fathers, hear. The God of glory appeared to our father Abraham, when he was in Mesopotamia, before he dwelt in Charan. Acts 7:2
Then he went out of the land of the Chaldeans and dwelt in Charan. And from thence, after his father was dead, he removed him into this land, wherein you now dwell. Acts 7:4
And he gave him no inheritance in it: no, not the pace of a foot. But he promised to give it him in possession, and to his seed after him, when as yet he had no child. Acts 7:5
And he gave him the covenant of circumcision. And so he begot Isaac and circumcised him the eighth day: and Isaac begot Jacob: and Jacob, the twelve patriarchs. Acts 7:8
And delivered him out of all his tribulations: and he gave him favour and wisdom in the sight of Pharao, the king of Egypt. And he appointed him governor over Egypt and over all his house. Acts 7:10
But when Jacob had heard that there was corn in Egypt, he sent our fathers first. Acts 7:12
So Jacob went down into Egypt. And he died, and our fathers. Acts 7:15
At the same time was Moses born: and he was acceptable to God. Who was nourished three months in his father's house. Acts 7:20
And when he was exposed, Pharao's daughter took him up and nourished him for her own son. Acts 7:21
And Moses was instructed in all the wisdom of the Egyptians: and he was mighty in his words and in his deeds. Acts 7:22
And when he was full forty years old, it came into his heart to visit his brethren, the children of Israel. Acts 7:23
And when he had seen one of them suffer wrong, he defended him: and striking the Egyptian, he avenged him who suffered the injury. Acts 7:24
And he thought that his brethren understood that God by his hand would save them. But they understood it not. Acts 7:25
And the day following, he shewed himself to them when they were at strife and would have reconciled them in peace, saying: Men, ye are brethren. Why hurt you one another? Acts 7:26
But he that did the injury to his neighbour thrust him away, saying: Who hath appointed thee prince and judge over us: Acts 7:27
And Moses fled upon this word: and was a stranger in the land of Madian, where he begot two sons. Acts 7:29
And Moses seeing it wondered at the sight. And as he drew near to view it, the voice of the Lord came unto him, saying: Acts 7:31
He brought them out, doing wonders and signs in the land of Egypt and in the Red Sea and in the desert, forty years. Acts 7:36
This is he that was in the church in the wilderness, with the angel who spoke to him on Mount Sina and with our fathers. Who received the words of life to give unto us. Acts 7:38
The tabernacle of the testimony was with our fathers in the desert, as God ordained for them, speaking to Moses, that he should make it according to the form which he had seen. Acts 7:44
But he, being full of the Holy Ghost, looking up steadfastly to heaven, saw the glory of God and Jesus standing on the right hand of God. Acts 7:55
And he said: Behold, I see the heavens opened and the Son of man standing on the right hand of God. Acts 7:56
And falling on his knees, he cried with a loud voice, saying: Lord, lay not this sin to their charge: And when he had said this, he fell asleep in the Lord. Acts 7:60
And the people with one accord were attentive to those things which were said by Philip, hearing, and seeing the miracles which he did. Acts 8:6
Now there was a certain man named Simon who before had been a magician in that city, seducing the people of Samaria, giving out that he was some great one: Acts 8:9
And they were attentive to him, because, for a long time, he had bewitched them with his magical practices. Acts 8:11
Then Simon himself believed also and, being baptized, he adhered to Philip. And being astonished, wondered to see the signs and exceeding great miracles which were done. Acts 8:13
For he was not as yet come upon any of them: but they were only baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. Acts 8:16
And when Simon saw that, by the imposition of the hands of the apostles, the Holy Ghost was given, he offered them money, Acts 8:18
Saying: Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I shall lay my hands, he may receive the Holy Ghost. Acts 8:19
And rising up, he went. And behold, a man of Ethiopia, an eunuch, of great authority under Candace the queen of the Ethiopians, who had charge over all her treasures, had come to Jerusalem to adore. Acts 8:27
And he was returning, sitting in his chariot and reading Isaias the prophet. Acts 8:28
And Philip running thither, heard him reading the prophet Isaias. And he said: Thinkest thou that thou understandest what thou readest? Acts 8:30
Who said: And how can I, unless some man shew me? And he desired Philip that he would come up and sit with him. Acts 8:31
And the place of the scripture which he was reading was this: He was led as a sheep to the slaughter: and like a lamb without voice before his shearer, so openeth he not his mouth. Acts 8:32
And Philip said: If thou believest with all thy heart, thou mayest. And he answering, said: I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. Acts 8:37
And he commanded the chariot to stand still. And they went down into the water, both Philip and the eunuch. And he baptized him. Acts 8:38
And when they were come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord took away Philip: and the eunuch saw him no more. And he went on his way rejoicing. Acts 8:39
But Philip was found in Azotus: and passing through, he preached the gospel to all the cities, till he came to Caesarea. Acts 8:40
And asked of him letters to Damascus, to the synagogues: that if he found any men and women of this way, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem. Acts 9:2
And as he went on his journey, it came to pass that he drew nigh to Damascus. And suddenly a light from heaven shined round about him. Acts 9:3
And falling on the ground, he heard a voice saying to him: Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? Acts 9:4
Who said: Who art thou, Lord? And he: I am Jesus whom thou persecutest. It is hard for thee to kick against the goad. Acts 9:5
And he, trembling and astonished, said: Lord, what wilt thou have me to do? And the Lord said to him: Arise and go into the city; and there it shall be told thee what thou must do. Acts 9:6
And Saul arose from the ground: and when his eyes were opened, he saw nothing. But they, leading him by the hands, brought him to Damascus. Acts 9:8
And he was there three days without sight: and he did neither eat nor drink. Acts 9:9
Now there was a certain disciple at Damascus, named Ananias. And the Lord said to him in a vision: Ananias. And he said: Behold I am here, Lord. Acts 9:10
And the Lord said to him: Arise and go into the street that is called Strait and seek in the house of Judas, one named Saul of Tarsus. For behold he prayeth. Acts 9:11
(And he saw a man named Ananias coming in and putting his hands upon him, that he might receive his sight.) Acts 9:12
But Ananias answered: Lord, I have heard by many of this man, how much evil he hath done to thy saints in Jerusalem. Acts 9:13
And here he hath authority from the chief priests to bind all that invoke thy name. Acts 9:14
For I will shew him how great things he must suffer for my name's sake. Acts 9:16
And Ananias went his way and entered into the house. And laying his hands upon him, he said: Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus hath sent me, he that appeared to thee in the way as thou camest, that thou mayest receive thy sight and be filled with the Holy Ghost. Acts 9:17
And immediately there fell from his eyes as it were scales: and he received his sight. And rising up, he was baptized. Acts 9:18
And when he had taken meat, he was strengthened. And he was with the disciples that were at Damascus, for some days. Acts 9:19
And immediately he preached Jesus in the synagogues, that he is the son of God. Acts 9:20
And all that heard him were astonished and said: Is not this he who persecuted in Jerusalem those that called upon this name and came hither for that intent, that he might carry them bound to the chief priests? Acts 9:21
And when he was come into Jerusalem, he essayed to join himself to the disciples: and they all were afraid of him, not believing that he was a disciple. Acts 9:26
But Barnabas took him and brought him to the apostles and told them how he had seen the Lord, and that he had spoken to him: and how in Damascus he had dealt confidently in the name of Jesus. Acts 9:27
And he was with them, coming in and going out in Jerusalem Acts 9:28
And dealing confidently in the name of the Lord. He spoke also to the Gentiles and disputed with the Greeks. But they sought to kill him. Acts 9:29
And it came to pass that Peter, as he passed through, visiting all, came to the saints who dwelt at Lydda. Acts 9:32
And he found there a certain man named Eneas, who had kept his bed for eight years, who was ill of the palsy. Acts 9:33
And Peter said to him: Eneas, the Lord Jesus Christ healeth thee. Arise and make thy bed. And immediately he arose. Acts 9:34
And forasmuch as Lydda was nigh to Joppe, the disciples, hearing that Peter was there, sent unto him two men, desiring him that he would not be slack to come unto them. Acts 9:38
And Peter rising up went with them. And when he was come, they brought him into the upper chamber. And all the widows stood about him, weeping and shewing him the coats and garments which Dorcas made them. Acts 9:39
And they all being put forth, Peter, kneeling down, prayed. And turning to the body, he said: Tabitha, arise. And she opened her eyes and, seeing Peter, she sat up. Acts 9:40
And giving her his hand, he lifted her up. And when he had called the saints and the widows, he presented her alive. Acts 9:41
And it came to pass that he abode many days in Joppe, with one Simon a tanner. Acts 9:43
And he, beholding him, being seized with fear, said: What is it, Lord? And he said to him: Thy prayers and thy alms are ascended for a memorial in the sight of God. Acts 10:4
He lodgeth with one Simon a tanner, whose house is by the sea side. He will tell thee what thou must do. Acts 10:6
And when the angel who spoke to him was departed, he called two of his household servants and a soldier who feared the Lord, of them that were under him. Acts 10:7
To whom when he had related all, he sent them to Joppe. Acts 10:8
And being hungry, he was desirous to taste somewhat. And as they were preparing, there came upon him an ecstasy of mind. Acts 10:10
And he saw the heaven opened and a certain vessel descending, as it were a great linen sheet let down by the four corners from heaven to the earth: Acts 10:11
Now, whilst Peter was doubting within himself what the vision that he had seen should mean, behold the men who were sent from Cornelius, inquiring for Simon's house, stood at the gate. Acts 10:17
Then Peter, going down to the men, said: Behold, I am he whom you seek. What is the cause for which you are come? Acts 10:21
Then bringing them in, he lodged them. And the day following, he arose and went with them: and some of the brethren from Joppe accompanied him. Acts 10:23
And the morrow after, he entered into Caesarea. And Cornelius waited for them, having called together his kinsmen and special friends. Acts 10:24
And talking with him, he went in and found many that were come together. Acts 10:27
And he said to them: you know how abominable it is for a man that is a Jew to keep company or to come unto one of another nation: but God hath shewed to me, to call no man common or unclean. Acts 10:28
Send therefore to Joppe: and call hither Simon, who is surnamed Peter. He lodgeth in the house of Simon a tanner, by the sea side. Acts 10:32
But in every nation, he that feareth him and worketh justice is acceptable to him. Acts 10:35
God sent the word to the children of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ (He is Lord of all). Acts 10:36
And we are witnesses of all things that he did in the land of the Jews and in Jerusalem: whom they killed, hanging him upon a tree. Acts 10:39
Not to all the people, but to witnesses preordained by God, even to us, who did eat and drink with him, after he arose again from the dead. Acts 10:41
And he commanded us to preach to the people and to testify that it is he who was appointed by God to be judge of the living and of the dead. Acts 10:42
And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Then they desired him to tarry with them some days. Acts 10:48
And he told us how he had seen an angel in his house, standing and saying to him: Send to Joppe and call hither Simon, who is surnamed Peter, Acts 11:13
And I remembered the word of the Lord, how that he said: John indeed baptized with water but you shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost. Acts 11:16
Who, when he was come and had seen the grace of God, rejoiced. And he exhorted them all with purpose of heart to continue in the Lord. Acts 11:23
For he was a good man and full of the Holy Ghost and of faith. And a great multitude was added to the Lord. Acts 11:24
Whom, when he had found, he brought to Antioch. And they conversed there in the church a whole year: and they taught a great multitude, so that at Antioch the disciples were first named Christians. Acts 11:26
And he killed James, the brother of John, With the sword. Acts 12:2
And seeing that it pleased the Jews, he proceeded to take up Peter also. Now it was in the days of the Azymes. Acts 12:3
And when he had apprehended him, he cast him into prison, delivering him to four files of soldiers, to be kept, intending, after the pasch, to bring him forth to the people. Acts 12:4
And behold an angel of the Lord stood by him and a light shined in the room. And he, striking Peter on the side, raised him up, saying: Arise quickly. And the chains fell off from his hands. Acts 12:7
And the angel said to him: Gird thyself and put on thy sandals. And he did so. And he said to him: Cast thy garment about thee and follow me, Acts 12:8
And going out, he followed him. And he knew not that it was true which was done by the angel: but thought he saw a vision. Acts 12:9
And considering, he came to the house of Mary the mother of John, who was surnamed Mark, where many were gathered together and praying. Acts 12:12
And when he knocked at the door of the gate, a damsel came to hearken, whose name was Rhode. Acts 12:13
But he, beckoning to them with his hand to hold their peace, told how the Lord had brought him out of prison. And he said: Tell these things to James and to the brethren. And going out, he went into another place. Acts 12:17
And when Herod had sought for him and found him not, having examined the keepers, he commanded they should be put to death. And going down from Judea to Caesarea, he abode there. Acts 12:19
And he was angry with the Tyrians and the Sidonians. But they with one accord came to him: and, having gained Blastus who was the king's chamberlain, they desired peace, because their countries were nourished by him. Acts 12:20
And forthwith an angel of the Lord struck him, because he had not given the honour to God: and, being eaten up by worms, he gave up the ghost. Acts 12:23
Who was with the proconsul Sergius Paulus, a prudent man. He, sending for Barnabas and Saul, desired to hear the word of God. Acts 13:7
And now behold, the hand of the Lord is upon thee: and thou shalt be blind, not seeing the sun for a time. And immediately there fell a mist and darkness upon him: and going about, he sought some one to lead him by the hand. Acts 13:11
Then the proconsul, when he had seen what was done, believed, admiring at the doctrine of the Lord. Acts 13:12
As it were, after four hundred and fifty years. And after these things, he gave unto them judges, until Samuel the prophet. Acts 13:20
And when he had removed him, he raised them up David to be king: to whom giving testimony, he said: I have found David, the son of Jesse, a man according to my own heart, who shall do all my wills. Acts 13:22
And when John was fulfilling his course, he said: I am not he whom you think me to be. But behold, there cometh one after me, whose shoes of his feet I am not worthy to loose. Acts 13:25
And to shew that he raised him up from the dead, not to return now any more to corruption, he said thus: I will give you the holy things of David, faithful. Acts 13:34
And therefore, in another place also, he saith: Thou shalt not suffer thy holy one to see corruption. Acts 13:35
For David, when he had served in his generation, according to the will of God, slept: and was laid unto his fathers and saw corruption. Acts 13:36
But he whom God hath raised from the dead saw no corruption. Acts 13:37
This same heard Paul speaking. Who looking upon him and seeing that he had faith to be healed, Acts 14:9
Said with a loud voice: Stand upright on thy feet. And he leaped up and walked. Acts 14:10
And they called Barnabas, Jupiter: but Paul, Mercury: because he was chief speaker. Acts 14:12
Nevertheless he left not himself without testimony, doing good from heaven, giving rains and fruitful Seasons, filling our hearts with food and gladness. Acts 14:17
But as the disciples stood round about him, he rose up and entered into the city: and the next day he departed with Barnabas to Derbe. Acts 14:20
And when they were come and had assembled the church, they related what great things God had done with them and how he had opened the door of faith to the Gentiles. Acts 14:27
For Moses of old time hath in every city them that preach him in the synagogues, where he is read every sabbath. Acts 15:21
But Paul desired that he (as having departed from them out of Pamphylia and not gone with them to the work) might not be received. Acts 15:38
And he went through Syria and Cilicia, confirming the churches, commanding them to keep the precepts of the apostles and the ancients. Acts 15:41
¤ And he came to Derbe and Lystra. And behold, there was a certain disciple there named Timothy, the son of a Jewish woman that believed: but his father was a Gentile. Acts 16:1
Him Paul would have to go along with him: and taking him, he circumcised him, because of the Jews who were in those places. For they all knew that his father was a Gentile. Acts 16:3
And as soon as he had seen the vision, immediately we sought to go into Macedonia: being assured that God had called us to preach the gospel to them. Acts 16:10
And this she did many days. But Paul being grieved, turned and said to the spirit: I command thee, in the name of Jesus Christ, to go out from her. And he went out the same hour. Acts 16:18
Then calling for a light, he went in: and trembling, fell down at the feet of Paul and Silas. Acts 16:29
And bringing them out, he said: Masters, what must I do, that I may be saved? Acts 16:30
And he, taking them the same hour of the night, washed their stripes: and himself was baptized, and all his house immediately. Acts 16:33
And when he had brought them into his own house, he laid the table for them: and rejoiced with all his house, believing God. Acts 16:34
And Paul, according to his custom, went in unto them. And for three sabbath days he reasoned with them out of the scriptures: Acts 17:2
He disputed, therefore, in the synagogue with the Jews and with them that served God: and in the market place, every day, with them that were there. Acts 17:17
And certain philosophers of the Epicureans and of the Stoics disputed with him. And some said: What is it that this word sower would say? But others: He seemeth to be a setter forth of new gods. Because he preached to them Jesus and the resurrection. Acts 17:18
God, who made the world and all things therein, he being Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands. Acts 17:24
Neither is he served with men's hands, as though he needed any thing: seeing it is he who giveth to all life and breath and all things: Acts 17:25
That they should seek God, if haply they may feel after him or find him, although he be not far from every one of us. Acts 17:27
Because he hath appointed a day wherein he will judge the world in equity, by the man whom he hath appointed: giving faith to all, by raising him up from the dead. Acts 17:31
¤ After these things, departing from Athens, he came to Corinth. Acts 18:1
And finding a certain Jew, named Aquila, born in Pontus, lately come from Italy, with Priscilla his wife (because that Claudius had commanded all Jews to depart from Rome), he came to them. Acts 18:2
And because he was of the same trade, he remained with them and wrought. (Now they were tentmakers by trade.) Acts 18:3
And he reasoned in the synagogue every sabbath, bringing in the name of the Lord Jesus. And he persuaded the Jews and the Greeks. Acts 18:4
But they gainsaying and blaspheming, he shook his garments and said to them: Your blood be upon your own heads: I am clean. From henceforth I will go unto the Gentiles. Acts 18:6
And departing thence, he entered into the house of a certain man, named Titus Justus, one that worshipped God, whose house was adjoining to the synagogue. Acts 18:7
And he stayed there a year and six months, teaching among them the word of God. Acts 18:11
And he drove them from the judgment seat. Acts 18:16
But Paul, when he had stayed yet many days, taking his leave of the brethren, sailed thence into Syria (and with him Priscilla and Aquila), having shorn his head in Cenchrae. For he had a vow. Acts 18:18
And he came to Ephesus and left them there. But he himself, entering into the synagogue, disputed with the Jews. Acts 18:19
And when they desired him that he would tarry a longer time, he consented not: Acts 18:20
But taking his leave and saying: I will return to you again, God willing, he departed from Ephesus. Acts 18:21
And going down to Caesarea, he went up to Jerusalem and saluted the church: and so came down to Antioch. Acts 18:22
And after he had spent some time there, he departed and went through the country of Galatia and Phrygia, in order, confirming all the disciples. Acts 18:23
And whereas he was desirous to go to Achaia, the brethren exhorting wrote to the disciples to receive him. Who, when he was come, helped them much who had believed. Acts 18:27
For with much vigour he convinced the Jews openly, shewing by the scriptures that Jesus is the Christ. Acts 18:28
And he said to them: Have you received the Holy Ghost since ye believed? But they said to him: We have not so much as heard whether there be a Holy Ghost. Acts 19:2
And he said: In what then were you baptized? Who said: In John's baptism. Acts 19:3
And entering into the synagogue, he spoke boldly for the space of three months, disputing and exhorting concerning the kingdom of God. Acts 19:8
But when some were hardened and believed not, speaking evil of the way of the Lord before the multitude, departing from them, he separated the disciples, disputing daily in the school of one Tyrannus. Acts 19:9
And when these things were ended, Paul purposed in the spirit, when he had passed through Macedonia and Achaia, to go to Jerusalem, saying: After I have been there, I must see Rome also. Acts 19:21
And sending into Macedonia two of them that ministered to him, Timothy and Erastus, he himself remained for a time in Asia. Acts 19:22
Whom he calling together with the workmen of like occupation, said: Sirs, you know that our gain is by this trade. Acts 19:25
And some also of the rulers of Asia, who were his friends, sent unto him, desiring that he would not venture himself into the theatre. Acts 19:31
And when the town clerk had appeased the multitudes, he said: Ye men of Ephesus, what man is there that knoweth not that the city of the Ephesians is a worshipper of the great Diana and of Jupiter's offspring? Acts 19:35
And when he had said these things, he dismissed the assembly. Acts 19:41
And when he had gone over those parts and had exhorted them with many words, he came into Greece: Acts 20:2
Where, when he had spent three months, the Jews laid wait for him, as he was about to sail into Syria. So he took a resolution to return through Macedonia. Acts 20:3
And on the first day of the week, when we were assembled to break bread, Paul discoursed with them, being to depart on the morrow. And he continued his speech until midnight. Acts 20:7
To whom, when Paul had gone down, he laid himself upon him and, embracing him, said: Be not troubled, for his soul is in him. Acts 20:10
Then going up and breaking bread and tasting and having talked a long time to them, until daylight, so he departed. Acts 20:11
But we going aboard the ship, sailed to Assos, being there to take in Paul. For so he had appointed, himself purposing to travel by land. Acts 20:13
And when he had met with us at Assos, we took him in and came to Mitylene. Acts 20:14
For Paul had determined to sail by Ephesus, lest he should be stayed any time in Asia. For he hasted, if it were possible for him, to keep the day of Pentecost at Jerusalem. Acts 20:16
And sending from Miletus to Ephesus, he called the ancients of the church. Acts 20:17
And when they were come to him and were together, he said to them: You know from the first day that I came into Asia, in what manner I have been with you, for all the time. Acts 20:18
Take heed to yourselves and to the whole flock, wherein the Holy Ghost hath placed you bishops, to rule the Church of God which he hath purchased with his own blood. Acts 20:28
I have shewed you all things, how that so labouring you ought to support the weak and to remember the word of the Lord Jesus, how he said: It is a more blessed thing to give, rather than to receive. Acts 20:35
And when he had said these things, kneeling down, he prayed with them all. Acts 20:36
Being grieved most of all for the word which he had said, that they should see his face no more. And they brought him on his way to the ship. Acts 20:38
And finding disciples, we tarried there seven days: who said to Paul, through the Spirit, that he should not go up to Jerusalem. Acts 21:4
And he had four daughters, virgins, who did prophesy. Acts 21:9
Who, when he was come to us, took Paul's girdle: and binding his own feet and hands, he said: Thus saith the Holy Ghost: The man whose girdle this is, the Jews shall bind in this manner in Jerusalem and shall deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles. Acts 21:11
Which when we had heard, both we and they that were of that place desired him that he would not go up to Jerusalem. Acts 21:12
Whom when he had saluted, he related particularly what things God had wrought among the Gentiles by his ministry. Acts 21:19
Then the tribune, coming near, took him and commanded him to be bound with two chains: and demanded who he was and what he had done. Acts 21:33
And some cried one thing, some another, among the multitude. And when he could not know the certainty for the tumult, he commanded him to be carried into the castle. Acts 21:34
And when he was come to the stairs, it fell out that he was carried by the soldiers, because of the violence of the people. Acts 21:35
And as Paul was about to be brought into the castle, he saith to the tribune: May I speak something to thee? Who said: Canst thou speak Greek? Acts 21:37
And when he had given him leave, Paul standing on the stairs, beckoned with his hand to the people. And a great silence being made, he spoke unto them in the Hebrew tongue, saying: Acts 21:40
(And when they heard that he spoke to them in the Hebrew tongue, they kept the more silence.) Acts 22:2
And he saith: I am a Jew, born at Tarsus in Cilicia, but brought up in this city, at the feet of Gamaliel, taught according to the truth of the law of the fathers, zealous for the law, as also all you are this day: Acts 22:3
And I answered: Who art thou, Lord? And he said to me: I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom thou persecutest. Acts 22:8
But he said: The God of our fathers hath preordained thee that thou shouldst know his will and see the Just One and shouldst hear the voice from his mouth. Acts 22:14
And he said to me: Go, for unto the Gentiles afar off will I send thee. Acts 22:21
And they heard him until this word and then lifted up their voice, saying: Away with such an one from the earth. For it is not fit that he should live. Acts 22:22
The tribune commanded him to be brought into the castle, and that he should be scourged and tortured: to know for what cause they did so cry out against him. Acts 22:24
And the tribune coming, said to him: Tell me. Art thou a Roman? But he said: Yea. Acts 22:27
Immediately therefore they departed from him that were about to torture him. The tribune also was afraid after he understood that he was a Roman citizen and because he had bound him. Acts 22:29
But on the next day, meaning to know more diligently for what cause he was accused by the Jews, he loosed him and commanded the priests to come together and all the council: and, bringing forth Paul, he set him before them. Acts 22:30
And Paul said: I knew not, brethren, that he is the high priest. For it is written: Thou shalt not speak evil of the prince of thy people. Acts 23:5
And when he had so said, there arose a dissension between the Pharisees and the Sadducees. And the multitude was divided. Acts 23:7
Now therefore do you with the council signify to the tribune, that he bring him forth to you, as if you meant to know something more certain touching him. And we, before he come near, are ready to kill him. Acts 23:15
Which when Paul's sister's son had heard, of their lying in wait, he came and entered into the castle and told Paul. Acts 23:16
And Paul, calling to him one of the centurions, said: Bring this young man to the tribune: for he hath some thing to tell him. Acts 23:17
And he, taking him, brought him to the tribune and said: Paul, the prisoner, desired me to bring this young man unto thee, who hath some thing to say to thee. Acts 23:18
And he said: The Jews have agreed to desire thee that thou wouldst bring forth Paul to-morrow into the council, as if they meant to inquire some thing more certain touching him. Acts 23:20
The tribune therefore dismissed the young man, charging him that he should tell no man that he had made known these things unto him. Acts 23:22
Then having called two centurions, he said to them: Make ready two hundred soldiers to go as far as Caesarea: and seventy horsemen and two hundred spearmen, for the third hour of the night. Acts 23:23
(For he feared lest perhaps the Jews might take him away by force and kill him: and he should afterwards be slandered, as if he was to take money.) And he wrote a letter after this manner: Acts 23:25
This man, being taken by the Jews and ready to be killed by them, I rescued, coming in with an army, understanding that he is a Roman. Acts 23:27
And when he had read it and had asked of what province he was and understood that he was of Cilicia: Acts 23:34
I will hear thee, said he, when thy accusers come. And he commanded him to be kept in Herod's judgment hall. Acts 23:35
And he commanded a centurion to keep him: and that he should be easy and that he should not prohibit any of his friends to minister unto him. Acts 24:23
And as he treated of justice and chastity and of the judgment to come, Felix, being terrified, answered: For this time, go thy way: but when I have a convenient time, I will send for thee. Acts 24:25
Hoping also withal that money should be given him by Paul: for which cause also oftentimes sending for him, he spoke with him. Acts 24:26
¤ Now when Festus was come into the province, after three days, he went up to Jerusalem from Caesarea. Acts 25:1
Requesting favour against him, that he would command him to be brought to Jerusalem, laying wait to kill him in the way. Acts 25:3
But Festus answered: That Paul was kept in Caesarea: and that he himself would very shortly depart thither. Acts 25:4
Let them, therefore, saith he, among you that are able, go down with me and accuse him, if there be any crime in the man. Acts 25:5
And having tarried among them no more than eight or ten days, he went down to Caesarea. And the next day, he sat in the judgment seat and commanded Paul to be brought. Acts 25:6
To whom I answered: it is not the custom of the Romans to condemn any man, before that he who is accused have his accusers present and have liberty to make his answer, to clear himself of the things laid to his charge. Acts 25:16
I therefore being in a doubt of this manner of question, asked him whether he would go to Jerusalem and there be judged of these things. Acts 25:20
And Agrippa said to Festus: I would also hear the man, myself. To-morrow, said he, thou shalt hear him. Acts 25:22
And Festus saith: King Agrippa and all ye men who are here present with us, you see this man, about whom all the multitude of the Jews dealt with me at Jerusalem, requesting and crying out that he ought not to live any longer. Acts 25:24
Yet have I found nothing that he hath committed worthy of death. But forasmuch as he himself hath appealed to Augustus, I have determined to send him. Acts 25:25
That Christ should suffer and that he should be the first that should rise from the dead and should shew light to the people and to the Gentiles. Acts 26:23
As he spoke these things and made his answer, Festus said with a loud voice: Paul, thou art beside thyself: much learning doth make thee mad. Acts 26:24
And Agrippa said to Festus: This man might have been set at liberty, if he had not appealed to Caesar. Acts 26:32
¤ And when it was determined that he should sail into Italy and that Paul, with the other prisoners, should be delivered to a centurion, named Julius, of the band Augusta, Acts 27:1
And when he had said these things, taking bread, he gave thanks to God in the sight of them all. And when he had broken it, he began to eat. Acts 27:35
But the centurion, willing to save Paul, forbade it to be done. And he commanded that they who could swim should cast themselves first into the sea and save themselves and get to land. Acts 27:43
And when the barbarians saw the beast hanging on his hand, they said one to another: Undoubtedly this man is a murderer, who, though he hath escaped the sea, yet vengeance doth not suffer him to live. Acts 28:4
And he indeed, shaking off the beast into the fire, suffered no harm. Acts 28:5
But they supposed that he would begin to swell up and that he would suddenly fall down and die. But expecting long and seeing that there came no harm to him, changing their minds, they said that he was a god. Acts 28:6
And it happened that the father of Publius lay sick of a fever and of a bloody flux. To whom Paul entered in. And when he had prayed and laid his hands on him, he healed him. Acts 28:8
And from thence, when the brethren had heard of us, they came to meet us as far as Appii Forum and the Three Taverns. Whom when Paul saw, he gave thanks to God and took courage. Acts 28:15
And after the third day, he called together the chief of the Jews. And when they were assembled, he said to them: Men, brethren, I, having done nothing against the people or the custom of our fathers, was delivered prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans. Acts 28:17
And when they had appointed him a day, there came very many to him unto his lodgings. To whom he expounded, testifying the kingdom of God and persuading them concerning Jesus, out of the law of Moses and the prophets, from morning until evening. Acts 28:23
And when he had said these things, the Jews went out from him, having much reasoning among themselves. Acts 28:29
And he remained two whole years in his own hired lodging: and he received all that came in to him, Acts 28:30
Which he had promised before, by his prophets, in the holy scriptures, Rom. 1:2
For it is not he is a Jew, who is so outwardly: nor is that circumcision which is outwardly in the flesh. Rom. 2:28
But he is a Jew that is one inwardly and the circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit not in the letter: whose praise is not of men, but of God. Rom. 2:29
For the shewing of his justice in this time: that he himself may be just and the justifier of him who is of the faith of Jesus Christ Rom. 3:26
Is he the God of the Jews only? Is he not also of the Gentiles? yes, of the Gentiles also. Rom. 3:29
For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath whereof to glory, but not before God. Rom. 4:2
How then was it reputed? When he was in circumcision or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision. Rom. 4:10
And he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the justice of the faith which he had, being uncircumcised: that he might be the father of all them that believe, being uncircumcised: that unto them also it may be reputed to justice: Rom. 4:11
And he might be the father of circumcision; not to them only that are of the circumcision, but to them also that follow the steps of the faith that is in the uncircumcision of our father Abraham. Rom. 4:12
For not through the law was the promise to Abraham or to his seed, that he should be heir of the world: but through the justice of faith. Rom. 4:13
(As it is written: I have made thee a father of many nations), before God, whom he believed: who quickeneth the dead and calleth those things that are not, as those that are. Rom. 4:17
Who against hope believed in hope; that he might be made the father of many nations, according to that which was said to him: So shall thy seed be. Rom. 4:18
And he was not weak in faith. Neither did he consider his own body, now dead (whereas he was almost an hundred years old), nor the dead womb of Sara. Rom. 4:19
In the promise also of God he staggered not by distrust: but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God: Rom. 4:20
Most fully knowing that whatsoever he has promised, he is able also to perform. Rom. 4:21
For he that is dead is justified from sin. Rom. 6:7
For in that he died to sin, he died once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God. Rom. 6:10
But you are not in the flesh, but in the spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. Rom. 8:9
And if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you; he that raised up Jesus Christ, from the dead shall quicken also your mortal bodies, because of his Spirit that dwelleth in you. Rom. 8:11
For we are saved by hope. But hope that is seen is not hope. For what a man seeth, why doth he hope for? Rom. 8:24
And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what the Spirit desireth: because he asketh for the saints according to God. Rom. 8:27
For whom he foreknew, he also predestinated to be made conformable to the image of his Son: that he might be the Firstborn amongst many brethren. Rom. 8:29
And whom he predestinated, them he also called. And whom he called, them he also justified. And whom he justified, them he also glorified. Rom. 8:30
He that spared not even his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how hath he not also, with him, given us all things? Rom. 8:32
Who shall accuse against the elect of God? God is he that justifieth: Rom. 8:33
Who is he that shall condemn? Christ Jesus that died: yea that is risen also again, who is at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us. Rom. 8:34
For he saith to Moses: I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy. And I will shew mercy to whom I will shew mercy. Rom. 9:15
Therefore he hath mercy on whom he will. And whom he will, he hardeneth. Rom. 9:18
Thou wilt say therefore to me: Why doth he then find fault? For who resisteth his will? Rom. 9:19
That he might shew the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy which he hath prepared unto glory? Rom. 9:23
Even us, whom also he hath called, not only of the Jews but also of the Gentiles. Rom. 9:24
As in Osee he saith: I will call that which was not my people, my people; and her that was not beloved, beloved; and her that had not obtained mercy; one that hath obtained mercy. Rom. 9:25
For he shall finish his word and cut it short in justice: because a short word shall the Lord make upon the earth. Rom. 9:28
But to Israel he saith: All the day long have I spread my hands to a people that believeth not and contradicteth me. Rom. 10:21
God hath not cast away his people which he foreknew. Know you not what the scripture saith of Elias, how he calleth on God against Israel? Rom. 11:2
What then? That which Israel sought, he hath not obtained: but the election hath obtained it. And the rest have been blinded. Rom. 11:7
For if God hath not spared the natural branches, fear lest perhaps he also spare not thee. Rom. 11:21
And so all Israel should be saved, as it is written: There shall come out of Sion, he that shall deliver and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob. Rom. 11:26
For God hath concluded all in unbelief, that he may have mercy on all. Rom. 11:32
Or ministry, in ministering; or he that teacheth, in doctrine; Rom. 12:7
He that exhorteth, in exhorting; he that giveth, with simplicity; he that ruleth, with carefulness; he that sheweth mercy, with cheerfulness. Rom. 12:8
But if thy enemy be hungry, give him to eat; if he thirst, give him to drink. For, doing this, thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head. Rom. 12:20
Therefore, he that resisteth the power resisteth the ordinance of God. And they that resist purchase to themselves damnation. Rom. 13:2
For he is God's minister to thee, for good. But if thou do that which is evil, fear: for he beareth not the sword in vain. For he is God's minister: an avenger to execute wrath upon him that doth evil. Rom. 13:4
Owe no man any thing, but to love one another. For he that loveth his neighbour hath fulfilled the law. Rom. 13:8
For one believeth that he may eat all things: but he that is weak, let him eat herbs. Rom. 14:2
Let not him that eateth despise him that eateth not: and he that eateth not, let him not judge him that eateth. For God hath taken him to him. Rom. 14:3
Who art thou that judgest another man's servant? To his own lord he standeth or falleth. And he shall stand: for God is able to make him stand. Rom. 14:4
He that regardeth the day regardeth it unto the Lord. And he that eateth eateth to the Lord: for he giveth thanks to God. And he that eateth not, to the Lord he eateth not and giveth thanks to God. Rom. 14:6
For to this end Christ died and rose again: that he might be Lord both of the dead and of the living. Rom. 14:9
For he that in this serveth Christ pleaseth God and is approved of men. Rom. 14:18
Hast thou faith? Have it to thyself before God. Blessed is he that condemneth not himself in that which he alloweth. Rom. 14:22
But he that discerneth, if he eat, is condemned; because not of faith. For all that is not of faith is sin. Rom. 14:23
And again he saith: rejoice ye Gentiles, with his people. Rom. 15:10
And again, Isaias saith: There shall be a root of Jesse; and he that shall rise up to rule the Gentiles, in him the Gentiles shall hope. Rom. 15:12
But as it is written: They to whom he was not spoken of shall see: and they that have not heard shall understand. Rom. 15:21
But the foolish things of the world hath God chosen, that he may confound the wise: and the weak things of the world hath God chosen, that he may confound the strong. 1 Cor. 1:27
And the base things of the world and the things that are contemptible, hath God chosen: and things that are not, that he might bring to nought things that are: 1 Cor. 1:28
That, as it is written: He that glorieth may glory in the Lord. 1 Cor. 1:31
But the sensual man perceiveth not these things that are of the Spirit of God. For it is foolishness to him: and he cannot understand, because it is spiritually examined. 1 Cor. 2:14
But the spiritual man judgeth all things: and he himself is judged of no man. 1 Cor. 2:15
For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ. 1 Cor. 2:16
Therefore, neither he that planteth is any thing, nor he that watereth: but God that giveth the increase. 1 Cor. 3:7
Now he that planteth and he that watereth, are one. And every man shall receive his own reward, according to his own labour. 1 Cor. 3:8
According to the grace of God that is given to me, as a wise architect, I have laid the foundation: and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon. 1 Cor. 3:10
If any man's work abide, which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. 1 Cor. 3:14
If any man's work burn, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved, yet so as by fire. 1 Cor. 3:15
Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seem to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise. 1 Cor. 3:18
For I am not conscious to myself of anything. Yet am I not hereby justified: but he that judgeth me is the Lord. 1 Cor. 4:4
And you are puffed up and have not rather mourned: that he might be taken away from among you that hath done this deed. 1 Cor. 5:2
Or know you not that he who is joined to a harlot is made one body? For they shall be, saith he, two in one flesh. 1 Cor. 6:16
But he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit. 1 Cor. 6:17
Fly fornication. Every sin that a man doth is without the body: but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body. 1 Cor. 6:18
And if any woman hath a husband that believeth not and he consent to dwell with her: let her not put away her husband. 1 Cor. 7:13
Let every man abide in the same calling in which he was called. 1 Cor. 7:20
For he that is called in the Lord, being a bondman, is the freeman of the Lord. Likewise he that is called, being free, is the bondman of Christ. 1 Cor. 7:22
Brethren, let every man, wherein he was called, therein abide with God. 1 Cor. 7:24
But I would have you to be without solicitude. He that is without a wife is solicitous for the things that belong to the Lord: how he may please God. 1 Cor. 7:32
But he that is with a wife is solicitous for the things of the world: how he may please his wife. And he is divided. 1 Cor. 7:33
But if any man think that he seemeth dishonoured with regard to his virgin, for that she is above the age, and it must so be: let him do what he will. He sinneth not if she marry. 1 Cor. 7:36
For he that hath determined, being steadfast in his heart, having no necessity, but having power of his own will: and hath judged this in his heart, to keep his virgin, doth well. 1 Cor. 7:37
Therefore both he that giveth his virgin in marriage doth well: and he that giveth her not doth better. 1 Cor. 7:38
And if any man think that he knoweth any thing, he hath not yet known as he ought to know. 1 Cor. 8:2
Or doth he say this indeed for our sakes? For these things are written for our sakes: that he that plougheth, should plough in hope and he that thrasheth, in hope to receive fruit. 1 Cor. 9:10
Wherefore, he that thinketh himself to stand, let him take heed lest he fall. 1 Cor. 10:12
Do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? Are we stronger than he? 1 Cor. 10:22
The man indeed ought not to cover his head: because he is the image and glory of God. But the woman is the glory of the man. 1 Cor. 11:7
Doth not even nature itself teach you that a man indeed, if he nourish his hair, it is a shame unto him? 1 Cor. 11:14
For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, that the Lord Jesus, the same night in which he was betrayed, took bread, 1 Cor. 11:23
In like manner also the chalice, after he had supped, saying: This chalice is the new testament in my blood. This do ye, as often as you shall drink, for the commemoration of me. 1 Cor. 11:25
For as often as you shall eat this bread and drink the chalice, you shall shew the death of the Lord, until he come. 1 Cor. 11:26
For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily eateth and drinketh judgment to himself, not discerning the body of the Lord. 1 Cor. 11:29
But all these things, one and the same Spirit worketh, dividing to every one according as he will. 1 Cor. 12:11
For he that speaketh in a tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man heareth. Yet by the Spirit he speaketh mysteries. 1 Cor. 14:2
But he that prophesieth speaketh to men unto edification and exhortation and comfort. 1 Cor. 14:3
He that speaketh in a tongue edifieth himself: but he that prophesieth, edifieth the church. 1 Cor. 14:4
And I would have you all to speak with tongues, but rather to prophesy. For greater is he that prophesieth than he that speaketh with tongues: unless perhaps he interpret, that the church may receive edification. 1 Cor. 14:5
If then I know not the power of the voice, I shall be to him to whom I speak a barbarian: and he that speaketh a barbarian to me. 1 Cor. 14:11
And therefore he that speaketh by a tongue, let him pray that he may interpret. 1 Cor. 14:13
Else, if thou shalt bless with the spirit, how shall he that holdeth the place of the unlearned say, Amen, to thy blessing? Because he knoweth not what thou sayest. 1 Cor. 14:16
But if all prophesy, and there come in one that believeth not or an unlearned person, he is convinced of all: he is judged of all. 1 Cor. 14:24
The secrets of his heart are made manifest. And so, falling down on his face, he will adore God, affirming that God is among you indeed. 1 Cor. 14:25
But if any man know not, he shall not be known. 1 Cor. 14:38
And that he was buried: and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: 1 Cor. 15:4
And that he was seen by Cephas, and after that by the eleven. 1 Cor. 15:5
Then he was seen by more than five hundred brethren at once: of whom many remain until this present, and some are fallen asleep. 1 Cor. 15:6
After that, he was seen by James: then by all the apostles. 1 Cor. 15:7
And last of all, he was seen also by me, as by one born out of due time. 1 Cor. 15:8
Now if Christ be preached, that he arose again from the dead, how do some among you say that there is no resurrection of the dead? 1 Cor. 15:12
Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God: because we have given testimony against God, that he hath raised up Christ, whom he hath not raised up, if the dead rise not again. 1 Cor. 15:15
Afterwards the end: when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God and the Father: when he shall have brought to nought all principality and power and virtue. 1 Cor. 15:24
For he must reign, until he hath put all his enemies under his feet. 1 Cor. 15:25
For he hath put all things under his feet. And whereas he saith: All things are put under him; undoubtedly, he is excepted, who put all things under him. 1 Cor. 15:27
But God giveth it a body as he will: and to every seed its proper body. 1 Cor. 15:38
Now if Timothy come, see that he be with you without fear: for he worketh the work of the Lord, as I also do. 1 Cor. 16:10
Let no man therefore despise him: but conduct ye him on his way in peace, that he may come to me. For I look for him with the brethren. 1 Cor. 16:11
And touching our brother Apollo, I give you to understand that I much entreated him to come unto you with the brethren: and indeed it was not his will at all to come at this time. But he will come when he shall have leisure. 1 Cor. 16:12
Who hath delivered and doth deliver us out of so great dangers: in whom we trust that he will yet also deliver us, 2 Cor. 1:10
Now he that confirmeth us with you in Christ and that hath anointed us, is God: 2 Cor. 1:21
For if I make you sorrowful, who is he then that can make me glad, but the same who is made sorrowful by me? 2 Cor. 2:2
And if any one have caused grief, he hath not grieved me: but in part, that I may not burden you all. 2 Cor. 2:5
Knowing that he who raised up Jesus will raise us up also with Jesus and place us with you. 2 Cor. 4:14
Now he that maketh us for this very thing is God, who hath given us the pledge of the Spirit, 2 Cor. 5:5
For we must all be manifested before the judgment seat of Christ, that every one may receive the proper things of the body, according as he hath done, whether it be good or evil. 2 Cor. 5:10
For God indeed was in Christ, reconciling the world to himself, not imputing to them their sins. And he hath placed in us the word of reconciliation. 2 Cor. 5:19
Him, who knew no sin, he hath made sin for us: that we might be made the justice of God in him. 2 Cor. 5:21
For he saith: In an accepted time have I heard thee and in the day of salvation have I helped thee. Behold, now is the acceptable time: behold, now is the day of salvation. 2 Cor. 6:2
And not by his coming only, but also by the consolation wherewith he was comforted in you, relating to us your desire, your mourning, your zeal for me: so that I rejoiced the more. 2 Cor. 7:7
Insomuch, that we desired Titus, that, as he had begun, so also he would finish among you this same grace. 2 Cor. 8:6
For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that being rich he became poor for your sakes: that through his poverty you might be rich. 2 Cor. 8:9
For if the will be forward, it is accepted according to that which a man hath: not according to that which he hath not. 2 Cor. 8:12
As it is written: He that had much had nothing over; and he that had little had no want. 2 Cor. 8:15
For indeed he accepted the exhortation: but, being more careful, of his own will he went unto you. 2 Cor. 8:17
And not that only: but he was also ordained by the churches companion of our travels, for this grace, which is administered by us, to the glory of the Lord and our determined will: 2 Cor. 8:19
Now this I say: He who soweth sparingly shall also reap sparingly: and he who soweth in blessings shall also reap blessings. 2 Cor. 9:6
Every one as he hath determined in his heart, not with sadness or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver. 2 Cor. 9:7
As it is written: He hath dispersed abroad, he hath given to the poor: his justice remaineth for ever. 2 Cor. 9:9
And he that ministereth seed to the sower will both give you bread to eat and will multiply your seed and increase the growth of the fruits of your justice: 2 Cor. 9:10
See the things that are according to outward appearance. If any man trust to himself, that he is Christ's let him think this again with himself, that as he is Christ's, so are we also. 2 Cor. 10:7
But he that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord. 2 Cor. 10:17
For not he who commendeth himself is approved: but he, whom God commendeth. 2 Cor. 10:18
For if he that cometh preacheth another Christ, whom we have not preached; or if you receive another Spirit, whom you have not received; or another gospel, which you have not received: you might well bear with him. 2 Cor. 11:4
That he was caught up into paradise and heard secret words which it is not granted to man to utter. 2 Cor. 12:4
For though I should have a mind to glory, I shall not be foolish: for I will say the truth. But I forbear, lest any man should think of me above that which he seeth in me, or any thing he heareth from me. 2 Cor. 12:6
And he said to me: My grace is sufficient for thee: for power is made perfect in infirmity. Gladly therefore will I glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may dwell in me. 2 Cor. 12:9
For although he was crucified through weakness, yet he liveth by the power of God. For we also are weak in him: but we shall live with him by the power of God towards you. 2 Cor. 13:4
Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present wicked world, according to the will of God and our Father: Gal. 1:4
But they had heard only: He, who persecuted us in times past doth now preach the faith which once he impugned. Gal. 1:23
(For he who wrought in Peter to the apostleship of the circumcision wrought in me also among the Gentiles.) Gal. 2:8
But when Cephas was come to Antioch, I withstood him to the face, because he was to be blamed. Gal. 2:11
For before that some came from James, he did eat with the Gentiles: but when they were come, he withdrew and separated himself, fearing them who were of the circumcision. Gal. 2:12
He therefore who giveth to you the Spirit and worketh miracles among you: doth he do it by the works of the law or by the hearing of the faith? Gal. 3:5
But the law is not of faith: but he that doth those things shall live in them. Gal. 3:12
To Abraham were the promises made and to his seed. He saith not: And to his seeds as of many. But as of one: And to thy seed, which is Christ. Gal. 3:16
Why then was the law? It was set because of transgressions, until the seed should come to whom he made the promise, being ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator. Gal. 3:19
¤ Now I say, as long as the heir is a child, he differeth nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all, Gal. 4:1
That he might redeem them who were under the law: that we might receive the adoption of sons. Gal. 4:5
Therefore, now he is not a servant, but a son. And if a son, an heir also through God. Gal. 4:7
But he who was of the bondwoman was born according to the flesh: but he of the free woman was by promise. Gal. 4:23
But as then he that was born according to the flesh persecuted him that was after the spirit: so also it is now. Gal. 4:29
And I testify again to every man circumcising himself that he is a debtor to do the whole law. Gal. 5:3
I have confidence in you in the Lord that you will not be of another mind: but he that troubleth you shall bear the judgment, whosoever he be. Gal. 5:10
For if any man think himself to be some thing, whereas he is nothing, he deceiveth himself. Gal. 6:3
But let every one prove his own work: and so he shall have glory in himself only and not in another. Gal. 6:4
Be not deceived: God is not mocked. For what things a man shall sow, those also shall he reap. Gal. 6:7
For he that soweth in his flesh of the flesh also shall reap corruption. But he that soweth in the spirit of the spirit shall reap life everlasting. Gal. 6:8
As he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and unspotted in his sight in charity. Eph. 1:4
Unto the praise of the glory of his grace, in which he hath graced us, in his beloved son. Eph. 1:6
That he might make known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure, which he hath purposed in him, Eph. 1:9
Which he wrought in Christ, raising him up from the dead and setting him on his right hand in the heavenly places. Eph. 1:20
And he hath subjected all things under his feet and hath made him head over all the church, Eph. 1:22
But God (who is rich in mercy) for his exceeding charity wherewith he loved us Eph. 2:4
That he might shew in the ages to come the abundant riches of his grace, in his bounty towards us in Christ Jesus. Eph. 2:7
For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and breaking down the middle wall of partition, the enmities in his flesh: Eph. 2:14
Making void the law of commandments contained in decrees: that he might make the two in himself into one new man, making peace Eph. 2:15
And coming, he preached peace to you that were afar off: and peace to them that were nigh. Eph. 2:17
According to the eternal purpose which he made in Christ Jesus our Lord: Eph. 3:11
That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened by his Spirit with might unto the inward man: Eph. 3:16
Wherefore he saith: Ascending on high, he led captivity captive: he gave gifts to men. Eph. 4:8
Now that he ascended, what is it, but because he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth? Eph. 4:9
He that descended is the same also that ascended above all the heavens: that he might fill all things. Eph. 4:10
And he gave some apostles, and some prophets, and other some evangelists, and other some pastors and doctors: Eph. 4:11
He that stole, let him now steal no more: but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have something to give to him that suffereth need. Eph. 4:28
Wherefore he saith: Rise, thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead: and Christ shall enlighten thee. Eph. 5:14
Because the husband is the head of the wife, as Christ is the head of the church. He is the saviour of his body. Eph. 5:23
That he might sanctify it, cleansing it by the laver of water in the word of life: Eph. 5:26
That he might present it to himself, a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. Eph. 5:27
So also ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself. Eph. 5:28
Knowing that whatsoever good thing any man shall do, the same shall he receive from the Lord, whether he be bond or free. Eph. 6:8
Whom I have sent to you for this same purpose: that you may know the things concerning us, and that he may comfort your hearts. Eph. 6:22
Being confident of this very thing: that he who hath begun a good work in you will perfect it unto the day of Christ Jesus. Phil. 1:6
And in habit found as a man. He humbled himself, becoming obedient unto death, even to the death of the cross. Phil. 2:8
Now know ye the proof of him: that as a son with the father, so hath he served with me in the gospel. Phil. 2:22
But I have thought it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother and fellow labourer and fellow soldier, but your apostle: and he that hath ministered to my wants. Phil. 2:25
For indeed he longed after you all: and was sad, for that you had heard that he was sick. Phil. 2:26
For indeed he was sick, nigh unto death: but God had mercy on him. And not only on him, but on me also, lest I should have sorrow upon sorrow. Phil. 2:27
Receive him therefore with all joy in the Lord: and treat with honour such as he is. Phil. 2:29
Because for the work of Christ he came to the point of death: delivering his life, that he might fulfil that which on your part was wanting towards my service. Phil. 2:30
Though I might also have confidence in the flesh. If any other thinketh he may have confidence in the flesh, I more: Phil. 3:4
Who will reform the body of our lowness, made like to the body of his glory, according to the operation whereby also he is able to subdue all things unto himself. Phil. 3:21
And he is before all: and by him all things consist. Col. 1:17
And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things he may hold the primacy: Col. 1:18
And you, whereas you were some time alienated and enemies in mind in evil works: Yet now he hath reconciled Col. 1:21
Wherein also I labour, striving according to his working which he worketh in me in power. Col. 1:29
And you, when you were dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, he hath quickened together with him, forgiving you all offences: Col. 2:13
Blotting out the handwriting of the decree that was against us, which was contrary to us. And he hath taken the same out of the way, fastening it to the cross. Col. 2:14
And despoiling the principalities and powers, he hath exposed them confidently in open shew, triumphing over them in himself. Col. 2:15
Let no man seduce you, willing in humility and religion of angels, walking in the things which he hath not seen, in vain puffed up by the sense of his flesh: Col. 2:18
For he that doth wrong shall receive for that which he hath done wrongfully. And there is no respect of persons with God. Col. 3:25
Whom I have sent to you for this same purpose, that he may know the things that concern you and comfort your hearts: Col. 4:8
Aristarchus, my fellow prisoner, saluteth you: and Mark, the cousin german of Barnabas, touching whom you have received commandments. If he come unto you, receive him. Col. 4:10
For I bear him testimony that he hath much labour for you and for them that are at Laodicea and them at Hierapolis. Col. 4:13
And to wait for his Son from heaven (whom he raised up from the dead), Jesus, who hath delivered us from the wrath to come. 1 Th. 1:10
For this cause also, I, forbearing no longer, sent to know your faith: lest perhaps he that tempteth should have tempted you: and our labour should be made vain. 1 Th. 3:5
Therefore, he that despiseth these things, despiseth not man, but God, who also hath given his holy Spirit in us. 1 Th. 4:8
He is faithful who hath called you, who also will do it. 1 Th. 5:24
When he shall come to be glorified in his saints and to be made wonderful in all them who have believed; because our testimony was believed upon you in that day. 2 Th. 1:10
Who opposeth and is lifted up above all that is called God or that is worshipped, so that he sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself as if he were God. 2 Th. 2:4
And now you know what withholdeth, that he may be revealed in his time. 2 Th. 2:6
For the mystery of iniquity already worketh: only that he who now holdeth do hold, until he be taken out of the way. 2 Th. 2:7
Whereunto also he hath called you by our gospel, unto the purchasing of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. 2 Th. 2:14
And if any man obey not our word by this epistle, note that man and do not keep company with him, that he may be ashamed. 2 Th. 3:14
I give him thanks who hath strengthened me, even to Christ Jesus our Lord, for that he hath counted me faithful, putting me in the ministry: 1 Tim. 1:12
¤ A faithful saying: If a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work. 1 Tim. 3:1
But if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God? 1 Tim. 3:5
Not a neophyte: lest, being puffed up with pride, he fall into the judgment of the devil. 1 Tim. 3:6
Moreover, he must have a good testimony of them who are without: lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil. 1 Tim. 3:7
But if any man have not care of his own and especially of those of his house, he hath denied the faith and is worse than an infidel. 1 Tim. 5:8
He is proud, knowing nothing, but sick about questions and strifes of words; from which arise envies, contentions, blasphemies, evil suspicions, 1 Tim. 6:4
Which in his times he shall shew, who is the Blessed and only Mighty, the King of kings and Lord of lords: 1 Tim. 6:15
For which cause, I also suffer these things: but I am not ashamed. For I know whom I have believed and I am certain that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him, against that day. 2 Tim. 1:12
The Lord give mercy to the house of Onesiphorus: because he hath often refreshed me and hath not been ashamed of my chain: 2 Tim. 1:16
But when he was come to Rome, he carefully sought me and found me. 2 Tim. 1:17
The Lord grant unto him to find mercy of the Lord in that day. And in how many things he ministered unto me at Ephesus, thou very well knowest. 2 Tim. 1:18
No man, being a soldier to God, entangleth himself with secular businesses: that he may please him to whom he hath engaged himself. 2 Tim. 2:4
For he also that striveth for the mastery is not crowned, except he strive lawfully. 2 Tim. 2:5
If we suffer, we shall also reign with him. If we deny him, he will also deny us. 2 Tim. 2:12
If we believe not, he continueth faithful, he cannot deny himself. 2 Tim. 2:13
If any man therefore shall cleanse himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified and profitable to the Lord, prepared unto every good work. 2 Tim. 2:21
Only Luke is with me. Take Mark and bring him with thee: for he is profitable to me for the ministry. 2 Tim. 4:11
Whom do thou also avoid: for he hath greatly withstood our words. 2 Tim. 4:15
Embracing that faithful word which is according to doctrine, that he may be able to exhort in sound doctrine and to convince the gainsayers. Tit. 1:9
The sound word that can not be blamed: that he who is on the contrary part may be afraid, having no evil to say of us. Tit. 2:8
Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity and might cleanse to himself a people acceptable, a pursuer of good works. Tit. 2:14
Not by the works of justice which we have done, but according to his mercy, he saved us, by the laver of regeneration and renovation of the Holy Ghost. Tit. 3:5
Whom he hath poured forth upon us abundantly, through Jesus Christ our Saviour: Tit. 3:6
Knowing that he that is such an one is subverted and sinneth, being condemned by his own judgment. Tit. 3:11
Whom I would have retained with me, that in thy stead he might have ministered to me in the bands of the gospel. Ph'm 1:13
For perhaps he therefore departed for a season from thee that thou mightest receive him again for ever: Ph'm 1:15
And if he hath wronged thee in any thing or is in thy debt, put that to my account. Ph'm 1:18
In these days, hath spoken to us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the world. Heb. 1:2
Being made so much better than the angels as he hath inherited a more excellent name than they. Heb. 1:4
For to which of the angels hath he said at any time: Thou art my Son, to-day have I begotten thee? And again: I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son? Heb. 1:5
And again, when he bringeth in the first begotten into the world, he saith: And let all the angels of God adore him. Heb. 1:6
And to the angels indeed he saith: He that maketh his angels spirits and his ministers a flame of fire. Heb. 1:7
But to which of the angels said he at any time: Sit on my right hand, until I make thy enemies thy footstool? Heb. 1:13
Thou hast subjected all things under his feet. For in that he hath subjected all things to him he left nothing not subject to him. But now we see not as yet all things subject to him. Heb. 2:8
But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels, for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour: that, through the grace of God he might taste death for all. Heb. 2:9
For both he that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all of one. For which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren, saying: Heb. 2:11
Therefore because the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself in like manner hath been partaker of the same: that, through death, he might destroy him who had the empire of death, that is to say, the devil: Heb. 2:14
For nowhere doth he take hold of the angels: but of the seed of Abraham he taketh hold. Heb. 2:16
Wherefore, it behoved him in all things to be made like unto his brethren, that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest before God, that he might be a propitiation for the sins of the people. Heb. 2:17
For in that wherein he himself hath suffered and been tempted he is able to succour them also that are tempted. Heb. 2:18
For this man was counted worthy of greater glory than Moses, by so much as he that hath built the house hath greater honour than the house. Heb. 3:3
For every house is built by some man: but he that created all things is God. Heb. 3:4
And with whom was he offended forty years? Was it not with them that sinned, whose carcasses were overthrown in the desert? Heb. 3:17
And to whom did he swear, that they should not enter into his rest: but to them that were incredulous? Heb. 3:18
For we, who have believed, shall enter into rest; as he said: As I have sworn in my wrath: If they shall enter into my rest; and this indeed when the works from the foundation of the world were finished. Heb. 4:3
For in a certain place he spoke of the seventh day thus: And God rested the seventh day from all his works. Heb. 4:4
Again he limiteth a certain day, saying in David; To day, after so long a time as it is above said: To day if you shall hear his voice, harden not your hearts. Heb. 4:7
For if Jesus had given them rest he would never have afterwards spoken of another day. Heb. 4:8
For he that is entered into his rest, the same also hath rested from his works, as God did from his. Heb. 4:10
¤ For every high priest taken from among men is ordained for men in the things that appertain to God, that he may offer up gifts and sacrifices for sins: Heb. 5:1
Who can have compassion on them that are ignorant and that err: because he himself also is compassed with infirmity. Heb. 5:2
And therefore he ought, as for the people, so also for himself, to offer for sins. Heb. 5:3
Neither doth any man take the honour to himself, but he that is called by God, as Aaron was. Heb. 5:4
So Christ also did not glorify himself, that he might be made a high priest: but he that said unto him: Thou art my Son: this day have I begotten thee. Heb. 5:5
As he saith also in another place: Thou art a priest for ever, according to the order of Melchisedech. Heb. 5:6
And whereas indeed he was the Son of God, he learned obedience by the things which he suffered. Heb. 5:8
And being consummated, he became, to all that obey him, the cause of eternal salvation: Heb. 5:9
For every one that is a partaker of milk is unskilful in the word of justice: for he is a little child. Heb. 5:13
For God is not unjust, that he should forget your work and the love which you have shewn in his name, you who have ministered and do minister to the saints. Heb. 6:10
For God making promise to Abraham, because he had no one greater by whom he might swear, swore by himself, Heb. 6:13
And so patiently enduring he obtained the promise. Heb. 6:15
But he, whose pedigree is not numbered among them, received tithes of Abraham and blessed him that had the promises. Heb. 7:6
And here indeed, men that die receive tithes: but there, he hath witness that he liveth. Heb. 7:8
For he was yet in the loins of his father when Melchisedech met him. Heb. 7:10
For he of whom these things are spoken is of another tribe, of which no one attended on the altar. Heb. 7:13
For he testifieth: Thou art a priest for ever according to the order of Melchisedech. Heb. 7:17
(For the others indeed were made priests without an oath: But this with an oath, by him that said unto him: The Lord hath sworn and he will not repent: Thou art a priest for ever). Heb. 7:21
But this, for that he continueth for ever, hath an everlasting priesthood: Heb. 7:24
Whereby he is able also to save for ever them that come to God by him; always living to make intercession for us. Heb. 7:25
Who needeth not daily (as the other priests) to offer sacrifices, first for his own sins, and then for the people's: for this he did once, in offering himself. Heb. 7:27
For every high priest is appointed to offer gifts and sacrifices: wherefore it is necessary that he also should have some thing to offer. Heb. 8:3
If then he were on earth, he would not be a priest: seeing that there would be others to offer gifts according to the law. Heb. 8:4
Who serve unto the example and shadow of heavenly things. As it was answered to Moses, when he was to finish the tabernacle: See (saith he) that thou make all things according to the pattern which was shewn thee on the mount. Heb. 8:5
But now he hath obtained a better ministry, by how much also he is a mediator of a better testament which is established on better promises. Heb. 8:6
For, finding fault with them, he saith: Behold the days shall come, saith the Lord: and I will perfect, unto the house of Israel and unto the house of Juda, a new testament: Heb. 8:8
Now in saying a new, he hath made the former old. And that which decayeth and groweth old is near its end. Heb. 8:13
But into the second, the high priest alone, once a year: not without blood, which he offereth for his own and the people's ignorance: Heb. 9:7
And therefore he is the mediator of the new testament: that by means of his death for the redemption of those transgressions which were under the former testament, they that are called may receive the promise of eternal inheritance. Heb. 9:15
For when every commandment of the law had been read by Moses to all the people, he took the blood of calves and goats, with water, and scarlet wool and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book itself and all the people. Heb. 9:19
The tabernacle also and all the vessels of the ministry, in like manner, he sprinkled with blood. Heb. 9:21
For Jesus is not entered into the Holies made with hands, the patterns of the true: but into Heaven itself, that he may appear now in the presence of God for us. Heb. 9:24
Nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest entereth into the Holies every year with the blood of others: Heb. 9:25
For then he ought to have suffered often from the beginning of the world. But now once, at the end of ages, he hath appeared for the destruction of sin by the sacrifice of himself. Heb. 9:26
So also Christ was offered once to exhaust the sins of many. The second time he shall appear without sin to them that expect him unto salvation. Heb. 9:28
Wherefore, when he cometh into the world he saith: Sacrifice and oblation thou wouldest not: but a body thou hast fitted to me. Heb. 10:5
Then said I: Behold, I come to do thy will, O God: He taketh away the first, that he may establish that which followeth. Heb. 10:9
For by one oblation he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified. Heb. 10:14
And the Holy Ghost also doth testify this to us. For after that he said: Heb. 10:15
A new and living way which he hath dedicated for us through the veil, that is to say, his flesh: Heb. 10:20
Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering (for he is faithful that hath promised): Heb. 10:23
How much more, do you think he deserveth worse punishments, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God and hath esteemed the blood of the testament unclean, by which he was sanctified, and hath offered an affront to the Spirit of grace? Heb. 10:29
For yet a little and a very little while, and he that is to come will come and will not delay. Heb. 10:37
But my just man liveth by faith: but if he withdraw himself, he shall not please my soul. Heb. 10:38
By faith Abel offered to God a sacrifice exceeding that of Cain, by which he obtained a testimony that he was just, God giving testimony to his gifts. And by it he being dead yet speaketh. Heb. 11:4
By faith Henoch was translated that he should not see death: and he was not found because God had translated him. For before his translation he had testimony that he pleased God. Heb. 11:5
But without faith it is impossible to please God. For he that cometh to God must believe that he is: and is a rewarder to them that seek him. Heb. 11:6
By faith Noe, having received an answer concerning those things which as yet were not seen, moved with fear, framed the ark for the saving of his house: by the which he condemned the world and was instituted heir of the justice which is by faith. Heb. 11:7
By faith he that is called Abraham obeyed to go out into a place which he was to receive for an inheritance. And he went out, not knowing whither he went. Heb. 11:8
By faith he abode in the land of promise, as in a strange country, dwelling in cottages, with Isaac and Jacob, the co-heirs of the same promise. Heb. 11:9
For he looked for a city that hath foundations: whose builder and maker is God. Heb. 11:10
By faith also Sara herself, being barren, received strength to conceive seed, even past the time of age: because she believed that he was faithful who had promised, Heb. 11:11
But now they desire a better, that is to say, a heavenly country. Therefore, God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city. Heb. 11:16
By faith Abraham, when he was tried, offered Isaac: and he that had received the promises offered up his only begotten son, Heb. 11:17
Accounting that God is able to raise up even from the dead. Whereupon also he received him for a parable. Heb. 11:19
By faith Joseph, when he was dying, made mention of the going out of the children of Israel and gave commandment concerning his bones. Heb. 11:22
By faith Moses, when he was born, was hid three months by his parents: because they saw he was a comely babe, and they feared not the king's edict. Heb. 11:23
By faith Moses, when he was grown up, denied himself to be the son of Pharao's daughter: Heb. 11:24
Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasure of the Egyptians. For he looked unto the reward. Heb. 11:26
By faith he left Egypt, not fearing the fierceness of the king: for he endured, as seeing him that is invisible. Heb. 11:27
By faith he celebrated the pasch and the shedding of the blood: that he who destroyed the firstborn might not touch them. Heb. 11:28
For whom the Lord loveth he chastiseth: and he scourgeth every son whom he receiveth. Heb. 12:6
And they indeed for a few days, according to their own pleasure, instructed us: but he, for our profit, that we might receive his sanctification. Heb. 12:10
For know ye that afterwards, when he desired to inherit the benediction, he was rejected. For he found no place of repentance, although with tears he had sought it. Heb. 12:17
Whose voice then moved the earth; but now he promiseth, saying: Yet once more: and I will move, not only the earth, but heaven also. Heb. 12:26
And in that he saith: Yet once more, he signifieth the translation of the moveable things as made, that those things may remain which are immoveable. Heb. 12:27
Let your manners be without covetousness, contented with such things as you have. For he hath said: I will not leave thee: neither will I forsake thee. Heb. 13:5
Wherefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people by his own blood, suffered without the gate. Heb. 13:12
Know ye that our brother Timothy is set at liberty: with whom (if he come shortly) I will see you. Heb. 13:23
But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea, which is moved and carried about by the wind. Jas. 1:6
Therefore let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord. Jas. 1:7
And the rich, in his being low: because as the flower of the grass shall he pass away. Jas. 1:10
Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for, when he hath been proved, he shall receive the crown of life which God hath promised to them that love him. Jas. 1:12
Let no man, when he is tempted, say that he is tempted by God. For God is not a tempter of evils: and he tempteth no man. Jas. 1:13
For of his own will hath he begotten us by the word of truth, that we might be some beginning of his creatures. Jas. 1:18
For if a man be a hearer of the word and not a doer, he shall be compared to a man beholding his own countenance in a glass. Jas. 1:23
For he beheld himself and went his way and presently forgot what manner of man he was. Jas. 1:24
But he that hath looked into the perfect law of liberty and hath continued therein, not becoming a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work: this man shall be blessed in his deed. Jas. 1:25
For he that said: Thou shalt not commit adultery, said also: Thou shalt not kill. Now if thou do not commit adultery, but shalt kill, thou art become a transgressor of the law. Jas. 2:11
What shall it profit, my brethren, if a man say he hath faith, but hath not works? Shall faith be able to save him? Jas. 2:14
And the scripture was fulfilled, saying: Abraham believed God, and it was reputed to him to justice, and he was called the friend of God. Jas. 2:23
For in many things we all offend. If any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man. He is able also with a bridle to lead about the whole body. Jas. 3:2
But he giveth greater grace. Wherefore he saith: God resisteth the proud and giveth grace to the humble. Jas. 4:6
Be subject therefore to God. But resist the devil: and he will fly from you. Jas. 4:7
Draw nigh to God: and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners, and purify your hearts, ye double minded. Jas. 4:8
Be humbled in the sight of the Lord: and he will exalt you. Jas. 4:10
Detract not one another, my brethren. He that detracteth his brother, or he that judgeth his brother, detracteth the law and judgeth the law. But if thou judge the law, thou art not a doer of the law, but a judge. Jas. 4:11
You have condemned and put to death the Just One: and he resisted you not. Jas. 5:6
Be patient therefore, brethren, until the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth: patiently bearing till he receive the early and latter rain. Jas. 5:7
Is any of you sad? Let him pray: Is he cheerful in mind? Let him sing. Jas. 5:13
And the prayer of faith shall save the sick man. And the Lord shall raise him up: and if he be in sins, they shall be forgiven him. Jas. 5:15
Elias was a man passible like unto us: and with prayer he prayed that it might not rain upon the earth. And it rained not for three years and six months. Jas. 5:17
And he prayed again. And the heaven gave rain: and the earth brought forth her fruit. Jas. 5:18
He must know that he who causeth a sinner to be converted from the error of his way shall save his soul from death and shall cover a multitude of sins. Jas. 5:20
Wherefore it is said in the scripture: Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious. And he that shall believe in him shall not be confounded. 1 Pet. 2:6
To you therefore that believe, he is honour: but to them that believe not, the stone which the builders rejected, the same is made the head of the corner: 1 Pet. 2:7
Who, when he was reviled, did not revile: when he suffered, he threatened not, but delivered himself to him that judged him unjustly. 1 Pet. 2:23
For he that will love life and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile. 1 Pet. 3:10
And who is he that can hurt you, if you be zealous of good? 1 Pet. 3:13
Because Christ also died once for our sins, the just for the unjust: that he might offer us to God, being put to death indeed in the flesh, but enlivened in the spirit, 1 Pet. 3:18
In which also coming he preached to those spirits that were in prison: 1 Pet. 3:19
¤ Christ therefore having suffered in the flesh, be you also armed with the same thought: for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sins: 1 Pet. 4:1
That now he may live the rest of his time in the flesh, not after the desires of men but according to the will of God. 1 Pet. 4:2
In like manner, ye young men, be subject to the ancients. And do you all insinuate humility one to another: for God resisteth the proud, but to the humble he giveth grace. 1 Pet. 5:5
Be you humbled therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in the time of visitation: 1 Pet. 5:6
Casting all your care upon him, for he hath care of you. 1 Pet. 5:7
Be sober and watch: because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, goeth about seeking whom he may devour. 1 Pet. 5:8
By whom he hath given us most great and precious promises: that by these you may be made partakers of the divine nature: flying the corruption of that concupiscence which is in the world. 2 Pet. 1:4
For he that hath not these things with him is blind and groping, having forgotten that he was purged from his old sins. 2 Pet. 1:9
For he received from God the Father honour and glory, this voice coming down to him from the excellent glory: This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Hear ye him. 2 Pet. 1:17
For in sight and hearing he was just, dwelling among them who from day to day vexed the just soul with unjust works. 2 Pet. 2:8
Promising them liberty, whereas they themselves are the slaves of corruption. For by whom a man is overcome, of the same also he is the slave. 2 Pet. 2:19
But if we walk in the light, as he also is in the light, we have fellowship one with another: And the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. 1 Jn. 1:7
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just, to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all iniquity. 1 Jn. 1:9
And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for those of the whole world. 1 Jn. 2:2
He who saith that he knoweth him and keepeth not his commandments is a liar: and the truth is not in him. 1 Jn. 2:4
But he that keepeth his word, in him in very deed the charity of God is perfected. And by this we know that we are in him. 1 Jn. 2:5
He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also to walk even as he walked. 1 Jn. 2:6
He that saith he is in the light and hateth his brother is in darkness even until now. 1 Jn. 2:9
He that loveth his brother abideth in the light: and there is no scandal in him. 1 Jn. 2:10
But he that hateth his brother is in darkness and walketh in darkness and knoweth not whither he goeth: because the darkness hath blinded his eyes. 1 Jn. 2:11
And the world passeth away and the concupiscence thereof: but he that doth the will of God abideth for ever. 1 Jn. 2:17
Who is a liar, but he who denieth that Jesus is the Christ? This is Antichrist, who denieth the Father and the Son. 1 Jn. 2:22
Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father. He that confesseth the Son hath the Father also. 1 Jn. 2:23
And this is the promise which he hath promised us, life everlasting. 1 Jn. 2:25
And now, little children, abide in him, that when he shall appear we may have confidence and not be confounded by him at his coming. 1 Jn. 2:28
If you know that he is just, know ye, that every one also who doth justice is born of him. 1 Jn. 2:29
Dearly beloved, we are now the sons of God: and it hath not yet appeared what we shall be. We know that when he shall appear we shall be like to him: because we shall see him as he is. 1 Jn. 3:2
And every one that hath this hope in him sanctifieth himself, as he also is holy. 1 Jn. 3:3
And you know that he appeared to take away our sins: and in him there is no sin. 1 Jn. 3:5
Little children, let no man deceive you. He that doth justice is just, even as he is just. 1 Jn. 3:7
He that committeth sin is of the devil: for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God appeared, that he might destroy the works of the devil. 1 Jn. 3:8
Whosoever is born of God committeth not sin: for his seed abideth in him. And he cannot sin, because he is born of God. 1 Jn. 3:9
In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil. Whosoever is not just is not of God, nor he that loveth not his brother. 1 Jn. 3:10
Not as Cain, who was of the wicked one and killed his brother. And wherefore did he kill him? Because his own works were wicked: and his brother's just. 1 Jn. 3:12
We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not abideth in death. 1 Jn. 3:14
In this we have known the charity of God, because he hath laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. 1 Jn. 3:16
He that hath the substance of this world and shall see his brother in need and shall shut up his bowels from him: how doth the charity of God abide in him? 1 Jn. 3:17
And this is his commandment: That we should believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ and love one another, as he hath given commandment unto us. 1 Jn. 3:23
And he that keepeth his commandments abideth in him, and he in him. And in this we know that he abideth in us by the Spirit which he hath given us. 1 Jn. 3:24
And every spirit that dissolveth Jesus is not of God. And this is Antichrist, of whom you have heard that he cometh: and he is now already in the world. 1 Jn. 4:3
You are of God, little children, and have overcome him. Because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world. 1 Jn. 4:4
We are of God. He that knoweth God heareth us. He that is not of God heareth us not. By this we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error. 1 Jn. 4:6
He that loveth not knoweth not God: for God is charity. 1 Jn. 4:8
In this is charity: not as though we had loved God, but because he hath first loved us, and sent his Son to be a propitiation for our sins. 1 Jn. 4:10
In this we know that we abide in him, and he in us: because he hath given us of his spirit. 1 Jn. 4:13
Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God abideth in him, and he in God. 1 Jn. 4:15
And we have known and have believed the charity which God hath to us. God is charity: and he that abideth in charity abideth in God, and God in him. 1 Jn. 4:16
In this is the charity of God perfected with us, that we may have confidence in the day of judgment: because as he is, we also are in this world. 1 Jn. 4:17
Fear is not in charity: but perfect charity casteth out fear, because fear hath pain. And he that feareth is not perfected in charity. 1 Jn. 4:18
If any man say: I love God, and hateth his brother; he is a liar. For he that loveth not his brother whom he seeth, how can he love God whom he seeth not? 1 Jn. 4:20
And this commandment we have from God, that he who loveth God love also his brother. 1 Jn. 4:21
Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God? 1 Jn. 5:5
This is he that came by water and blood, Jesus Christ: not by water only but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit which testifieth that Christ is the truth. 1 Jn. 5:6
If we receive the testimony of men, the testimony of God is greater. For this is the testimony of God, which is greater, because he hath testified of his Son. 1 Jn. 5:9
He that believeth in the Son of God hath the testimony of God in himself. He that believeth not the Son maketh him a liar: because he believeth not in the testimony which God hath testified of his Son. 1 Jn. 5:10
He that hath the Son hath life. He that hath not the Son hath not life. 1 Jn. 5:12
And this is the confidence which we have towards him: That, whatsoever we shall ask according to his will, he heareth us. 1 Jn. 5:14
And we know that he heareth us whatsoever we ask: we know that we have the petitions which we request of him. 1 Jn. 5:15
He that knoweth his brother to sin a sin which is not to death, let him ask: and life shall be given to him who sinneth not to death. There is a sin unto death. For that I say not that any man ask. 1 Jn. 5:16
And we know that the Son of God is come. And he hath given us understanding that we may know the true God and may be in his true Son. This is the true God and life eternal. 1 Jn. 5:20
Whosoever revolteth and continueth not in the doctrine of Christ hath not God. He that continueth in the doctrine, the same hath both the Father and the Son. 2 Jn. 1:9
For he that saith unto him: God speed you, communicateth with his wicked works. 2 Jn. 1:11
For this cause, if I come, I will advertise his works which he doth, with malicious words prating against us. And as if these things were not enough for him, neither doth he himself receive the brethren, and them that do receive them he forbiddeth, and casteth out of the church. 3 Jn. 1:10
Dearly beloved, follow not that which is evil: but that which is good. He that doth good is of God: he that doth evil hath not seen God. 3 Jn. 1:11
And the angels who kept not their principality but forsook their own habitation, he hath reserved under darkness in everlasting chains, unto the judgment of the great day. Jude 1:6
When Michael the archangel, disputing with the devil, contended about the body of Moses, he durst not bring against him the judgment of railing speech, but said: The Lord command thee. Jude 1:9
Who hath given testimony to the word of God and the testimony of Jesus Christ, what things soever he hath seen. Apoc. 1:2
Blessed is he that readeth and heareth the words of this prophecy: and keepeth those things which are written in it. For the time is at hand. Apoc. 1:3

And I will kill her children with death: and all the churches shall know that I am he that searcheth the reins and hearts. And I will give to every one of you according to your works. But to you I say Apoc. 2:23
And he that shall overcome and keep my words unto the end, I will give him power over the nations. Apoc. 2:26
And he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and as the vessel of a potter they shall be broken: As I also have received of my Father. Apoc. 2:27
He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches. Apoc. 2:29

He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches. Apoc. 3:6
And to the angel of the church of Philadelphia write: These things saith the Holy One and the true one, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth and no man shutteth, shutteth and no man openeth: Apoc. 3:7
He that shall overcome, I will make him a pillar in the temple of my God: and he shall go out no more. And I will write upon him the name of my God and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God, and my new name. Apoc. 3:12

And he that sat was to the sight like the jasper and the sardine stone. And there was a rainbow round about the throne, in sight like unto an emerald. Apoc. 4:3
And he came and took the book out of the right hand of him that sat on the throne. Apoc. 5:7
And when he had opened the book, the four living creatures and the four and twenty ancients fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints. Apoc. 5:8
