- Pharaoh hath been wroth against his servants, and giveth me into charge in the house of the chief of the executioners, me and the chief of the bakers; Gen. 41:10
- and we dream a dream in one night, I and he, each according to the interpretation of his dream we have dreamed. Gen. 41:11

- and lo, seven other kine are coming up after them, thin, and of very bad form, and lean in flesh; I have not seen like these in all the land of Egypt for badness. Gen. 41:19
- `And the lean and the bad kine eat up the first seven fat kine, Gen. 41:20
- and they come in unto their midst, and it hath not been known that they have come in unto their midst, and their appearance is bad as at the commencement; and I awake. Gen. 41:21
- and the thin ears swallow the seven good ears; and I tell unto the scribes, and there is none declaring to me.' Gen. 41:24
- And Joseph saith unto Pharaoh, `The dream of Pharaoh is one: that which God is doing he hath declared to Pharaoh; Gen. 41:25
- the seven good kine are seven years, and the seven good ears are seven years, the dream is one; Gen. 41:26
- and the seven thin and bad kine which are coming up after them are seven years, and the seven empty ears, blasted with an east wind, are seven years of famine; Gen. 41:27
- this is the thing which I have spoken unto Pharaoh: That which God is doing, he hath shewn Pharaoh. Gen. 41:28
- `Lo, seven years are coming of great abundance in all the land of Egypt, Gen. 41:29
- and seven years of famine have arisen after them, and all the plenty is forgotten in the land of Egypt, and the famine hath finished the land, Gen. 41:30
- and the plenty is not known in the land because of that famine afterwards, for it is very grievous. Gen. 41:31
- `And because of the repeating of the dream unto Pharaoh twice, surely the thing is established by God, and God is hastening to do it. Gen. 41:32
- `And now, let Pharaoh provide a man, intelligent and wise, and set him over the land of Egypt; Gen. 41:33
- let Pharaoh make and appoint overseers over the land, and receive a fifth of the land of Egypt in the seven years of plenty, Gen. 41:34
- and they gather all the food of these good years that are coming, and heap up corn under the hand of Pharaoh -- food in the cities; and they have kept it, Gen. 41:35
- and the food hath been for a store for the land, for the seven years of famine which are in the land of Egypt; and the land is cut off by the famine.' Gen. 41:36
- And the thing is good in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of all his servants, Gen. 41:37
- and Pharaoh saith unto his servants, `Do we find like this, a man in whom the spirit of God is?' Gen. 41:38

- And Pharaoh saith unto Joseph, `I am Pharaoh, and without thee a man doth not lift up his hand and his foot in all the land of Egypt;' Gen. 41:44
- and Pharaoh calleth Joseph's name Zaphnath-Paaneah, and he giveth to him Asenath daughter of Poti-Pherah, priest of On, for a wife, and Joseph goeth out over the land of Egypt. Gen. 41:45
- And Joseph is a son of thirty years in his standing before Pharaoh king of Egypt, and Joseph goeth out from the presence of Pharaoh, and passeth over through all the land of Egypt; Gen. 41:46
- and the land maketh in the seven years of plenty by handfuls. Gen. 41:47
- And he gathereth all the food of the seven years which have been in the land of Egypt, and putteth food in the cities; the food of the field which is round about each city hath he put in its midst; Gen. 41:48
- and Joseph gathereth corn as sand of the sea, multiplying exceedingly, until that he hath ceased to number, for there is no number. Gen. 41:49
- And to Joseph were born two sons before the year of famine cometh, whom Asenath daughter of Poti-Pherah, priest of On, hath borne to him, Gen. 41:50
- and Joseph calleth the name of the first-born Manasseh: `for, God hath made me to forget all my labour, and all the house of my father;' Gen. 41:51
- and the name of the second he hath called Ephraim: `for, God hath caused me to be fruitful in the land of mine affliction.' Gen. 41:52
- And the seven years of plenty are completed which have been in the land of Egypt, Gen. 41:53
- and the seven years of famine begin to come, as Joseph said, and famine is in all the lands, but in all the land of Egypt hath been bread; Gen. 41:54
- and all the land of Egypt is famished, and the people crieth unto Pharaoh for bread, and Pharaoh saith to all the Egyptians, `Go unto Joseph; that which he saith to you -- do.' Gen. 41:55
- And the famine has been over all the face of the land, and Joseph openeth all places which have corn in them, and selleth to the Egyptians; and the famine is severe in the land of Egypt, Gen. 41:56

- and the ten brethren of Joseph go down to buy corn in Egypt, Gen. 42:3
- And the sons of Israel come to buy in the midst of those coming, for the famine hath been in the land of Canaan, Gen. 42:5

- And Joseph seeth his brethren, and discerneth them, and maketh himself strange unto them, and speaketh with them sharp things, and saith unto them, `From whence have ye come?' and they say, `From the land of Canaan -- to buy food.' Gen. 42:7
- and Joseph remembereth the dreams which he dreamed of them, and saith unto them, `Ye are spies; to see the nakedness of the land ye have come.' Gen. 42:9
- and he saith unto them, `No, but the nakedness of the land ye have come to see;' Gen. 42:12
- and they say, `Thy servants are twelve brethren; we are sons of one man in the land of Canaan, and lo, the young one is with our father to-day, and the one is not.' Gen. 42:13
- And Joseph saith unto them on the third day, `This do and live; God I fear! Gen. 42:18
- if ye are right men, let one of your brethren be bound in the house of your ward, and ye, go, carry in corn for the famine of your houses, Gen. 42:19
- And they say one unto another, `Verily we are guilty concerning our brother, because we saw the distress of his soul, in his making supplication unto us, and we did not hearken: therefore hath this distress come upon us.' Gen. 42:21
- And Reuben answereth them, saying, `Spake I not unto you, saying, Sin not against the lad? and ye hearkened not; and his blood also, lo, it is required.' Gen. 42:22
- And they have not known that Joseph understandeth, for the interpreter is between them; Gen. 42:23
- And Joseph commandeth, and they fill their vessels with corn, also to put back the money of each unto his sack, and to give to them provision for the way; and one doth to them so. Gen. 42:25
- and the one openeth his sack to give provender to his ass at a lodging-place, and he seeth his money, and lo, it is in the mouth of his bag, Gen. 42:27
- And they come in unto Jacob their father, to the land of Canaan, and they declare to him all the things meeting them, saying, Gen. 42:29

- we are twelve brethren, sons of our father, the one is not, and the young one is to-day with our father in the land of Canaan. Gen. 42:32
- `And the man, the lord of the land, saith unto us, By this I know that ye are right men -- one of your brethren leave with me, and for the famine of your houses take ye and go, Gen. 42:33
- and bring your young brother unto me, and I know that ye are not spies, but ye are right men; your brother I give to you, and ye trade with the land.' Gen. 42:34
- And it cometh to pass, they are emptying their sacks, and lo, the bundle of each man's silver is in his sack, and they see their bundles of silver, they and their father, and are afraid; Gen. 42:35
- and he saith, `My son doth not go down with you, for his brother is dead, and he by himself is left; when mischief hath met him in the way in which ye go, then ye have brought down my grey hairs in sorrow to sheol.' Gen. 42:38
- And the famine is severe in the land; Gen. 43:1
- and it cometh to pass, when they have finished eating the corn which they brought from Egypt, that their father saith unto them, `Turn back, buy for us a little food.' Gen. 43:2
- And Judah speaketh unto him, saying, `The man protesting protested to us, saying, Ye do not see my face without your brother being with you; Gen. 43:3
- and if thou art not sending -- we do not go down, for the man said unto us, Ye do not see my face without your brother being with you.' Gen. 43:5
- And Israel saith, `Why did ye evil to me, by declaring to the man that ye had yet a brother?' Gen. 43:6
- and they say, `The man asked diligently concerning us, and concerning our kindred, saying, Is your father yet alive? have ye a brother? and we declare to him according to the tenor of these things; do we certainly know that he will say, Bring down your brother?' Gen. 43:7

- And Israel their father saith unto them, `If so, now, this do: take of the praised thing of the land in your vessels, and take down to the man a present, a little balm, and a little honey, spices and myrrh, nuts and almonds; Gen. 43:11
- and double money take in your hand, even the money which is brought back in the mouth of your bags, ye take back in your hand, it may be it is an oversight. Gen. 43:12
- `And take your brother, and rise, turn back unto the man; Gen. 43:13
- and God Almighty give to you mercies before the man, so that he hath sent to you your other brother and Benjamin; and I, when I am bereaved -- I am bereaved.' Gen. 43:14
- And the men take this present, double money also they have taken in their hand, and Benjamin; and they rise, and go down to Egypt, and stand before Joseph; Gen. 43:15
- and Joseph seeth Benjamin with them, and saith to him who is over his house, `Bring the men into the house, and slaughter an animal, and make ready, for with me do the men eat at noon.' Gen. 43:16
- And the man doth as Joseph hath said, and the man bringeth in the men into the house of Joseph, Gen. 43:17
- and the men are afraid because they have been brought into the house of Joseph, and they say, `For the matter of the money which was put back in our bags at the commencement are we brought in -- to roll himself upon us, and to throw himself on us, and to take us for servants -- our asses also.' Gen. 43:18
- And they come nigh unto the man who is over the house of Joseph, and speak unto him at the opening of the house, Gen. 43:19
- and say, `O, my lord, we really come down at the commencement to buy food; Gen. 43:20
- and it cometh to pass, when we have come in unto the lodging-place, and open our bags, that lo, each one's money is in the mouth of his bag, our money in its weight, and we bring it back in our hand; Gen. 43:21
- And he saith, `Peace to you, fear not: your God and the God of your father hath given to you hidden treasure in your bags, your money came unto me;' and he bringeth out Simeon unto them. Gen. 43:23
- And the man bringeth in the men into Joseph's house, and giveth water, and they wash their feet; and he giveth provender for their asses, Gen. 43:24
- and they prepare the present until the coming of Joseph at noon, for they have heard that there they do eat bread. Gen. 43:25
- And Joseph cometh into the house, and they bring to him the present which is in their hand, into the house, and bow themselves to him, to the earth; Gen. 43:26

- And Joseph hasteth, for his bowels have been moved for his brother, and he seeketh to weep, and entereth the inner chamber, and weepeth there; Gen. 43:30
- And they place for him by himself, and for them by themselves, and for the Egyptians who are eating with him by themselves: for the Egyptians are unable to eat bread with the Hebrews, for it is an abomination to the Egyptians. Gen. 43:32
- And they sit before him, the first-born according to his birthright, and the young one according to his youth, and the men wonder one at another; Gen. 43:33
- and he lifteth up gifts from before him unto them, and the gift of Benjamin is five hands more than the gifts of all of them; and they drink, yea, they drink abundantly with him. Gen. 43:34
- And he commandeth him who is over his house, saying, `Fill the bags of the men with food, as they are able to bear, and put the money of each in the mouth of his bag; Gen. 44:1
- and my cup, the silver cup, thou dost put in the mouth of the bag of the young one, and his corn-money;' and he doth according to the word of Joseph which he hath spoken. Gen. 44:2
- The morning is bright, and the men have been sent away, they and their asses -- Gen. 44:3
- they have gone out of the city -- they have not gone far off -- and Joseph hath said to him who is over his house, `Rise, pursue after the men; and thou hast overtaken them, and thou hast said unto them, Why have ye recompensed evil for good? Gen. 44:4

- and I said, I uncover thine ear, saying, Buy before the inhabitants, and before the elders of my people; if thou dost redeem -- redeem, and if none doth redeem -- declare to me, and I know, for there is none save thee to redeem, and I after thee.' And he saith, I redeem it.' Ruth 4:4
- And Boaz saith, `In the day of thy buying the field from the hand of Naomi, then from Ruth the Moabitess, wife of the dead, thou hast bought it, to raise up the name of the dead over his inheritance.' Ruth 4:5
- And the redeemer saith, `I am not able to redeem it for myself, lest I destroy mine inheritance; redeem for thyself -- thou -- my right of redemption, for I am not able to redeem.' Ruth 4:6
- And this is formerly in Israel for redemption and for changing, to establish anything: a man hath drawn off his sandal, and given it to his neighbour, and this is the testimony in Israel. Ruth 4:7
- And the redeemer saith to Boaz, `Buy it for thyself,' and draweth off his sandal. Ruth 4:8
- And Boaz saith to the elders, and to all the people, `Witnesses are ye to-day that I have bought all that is to Elimelech, and all that is to Chilion and Mahlon, from the hand of Naomi; Ruth 4:9

- And all the people who are in the gate say -- also the elders -- `Witnesses! Jehovah make the woman who is coming in unto thy house as Rachel and as Leah, both of whom built the house of Israel; and do thou virtuously in Ephrathah, and proclaim the Name in Beth-Lehem; Ruth 4:11
- and let thy house be as the house of Pharez (whom Tamar bare to Judah), of the seed which Jehovah doth give to thee of this young woman.' Ruth 4:12
- And the women say unto Naomi, `Blessed is Jehovah who hath not let a redeemer cease to thee to-day, and his name is proclaimed in Israel, Ruth 4:14

- and the neighbouring women give to him a name, saying, `There hath been a son born to Naomi,' and they call his name Obed; he is father of Jesse, father of David. Ruth 4:17
- And there is a certain man of Ramathaim-Zophim, of the hill-country of Ephraim, and his name is Elkanah, son of Jeroham, son of Elihu, son of Tohu, son of Zuph, and Ephrathite, 1 Sam. 1:1
- and he hath two wives, the name of the one is Hannah, and the name of the second Peninnah, and Peninnah hath children, and Hannah hath no children. 1 Sam. 1:2
- And the day cometh, and Elkanah sacrificeth, and he hath given to Peninnah his wife, and to all her sons and her daughters, portions, 1 Sam. 1:4
- And so he doth year by year, from the time of her going up into the house of Jehovah, so it provoketh her, and she weepeth, and doth not eat. 1 Sam. 1:7
- And Hannah riseth after eating in Shiloh, and after drinking, and Eli the priest is sitting on the throne by the side-post of the temple of Jehovah. 1 Sam. 1:9
- and voweth a vow, and saith, `Jehovah of Hosts, if Thou dost certainly look on the affliction of Thy handmaid, and hast remembered me, and dost not forget Thy handmaid, and hast given to Thy handmaid seed of men -- then I have given him to Jehovah all days of his life, and a razor doth not go up upon his head.' 1 Sam. 1:11
- put not thy handmaid before a daughter of worthlessness, for from the abundance of my meditation, and of my provocation, I have spoken hitherto.' 1 Sam. 1:16
- And Eli answereth and saith, `Go in peace, and the God of Israel doth give thy petition which thou hast asked of Him.' 1 Sam. 1:17
- And she saith, `Let thy handmaid find grace in thine eyes;' and the woman goeth on her way, and eateth, and her countenance hath not been sad for it any more. 1 Sam. 1:18
- And they rise early in the morning, and bow themselves before Jehovah, and turn back, and come in unto their house in Ramah, and Elkanah knoweth Hannah his wife, and Jehovah remembereth her; 1 Sam. 1:19
- and it cometh to pass, at the revolution of the days, that Hannah conceiveth, and beareth a son, and calleth his name Samuel, `for, from Jehovah I have asked him.' 1 Sam. 1:20
- And the man Elkanah goeth up, and all his house, to sacrifice to Jehovah the sacrifice of the days, and his vow. 1 Sam. 1:21
- And Hannah hath not gone up, for she said to her husband, `Till the youth is weaned -- then I have brought him in, and he hath appeared before the face of Jehovah, and dwelt there -- unto the age.' 1 Sam. 1:22
- And Elkanah her husband saith to her, `Do that which is good in thine eyes; abide till thy weaning him; only, Jehovah establish His word;' and the woman abideth and suckleth her son till she hath weaned him, 1 Sam. 1:23
- and she causeth him to go up with her when she hath weaned him, with three bullocks, and one ephah of flour, and a bottle of wine, and she bringeth him into the house of Jehovah at Shiloh, and the youth is but a youth. 1 Sam. 1:24
- And they slaughter the bullock, and bring in the youth unto Eli, 1 Sam. 1:25
- and she saith, `O, my lord, thy soul liveth! my lord, I am the woman who stood with thee in this place, to pray unto Jehovah; 1 Sam. 1:26
- and also I have caused him to be asked for Jehovah, all the days that he hath lived -- he is asked for Jehovah;' and he boweth himself there before Jehovah. 1 Sam. 1:28
- Ye multiply not -- ye speak haughtily -- The old saying goeth out from your mouth, For a God of knowledge is Jehovah, And by Him actions are weighed. 1 Sam. 2:3
- Bows of the mighty are broken, And the stumbling have girded on strength. 1 Sam. 2:4
- The satiated for bread hired themselves, And the hungry have ceased. While the barren hath borne seven, And she abounding with sons hath languished. 1 Sam. 2:5
- He raiseth from the dust the poor, From a dunghill He lifteth up the needy, To cause them to sit with nobles, Yea, a throne of honour He doth cause them to inherit, For to Jehovah are the fixtures of earth, And He setteth on them the habitable world. 1 Sam. 2:8
- The feet of His saints He keepeth, And the wicked in darkness are silent, For not by power doth man become mighty. 1 Sam. 2:9
- Jehovah -- broken down are His adversaries, Against them in the heavens He thundereth: Jehovah judgeth the ends of earth, And giveth strength to His king, And exalteth the horn of His anointed.' 1 Sam. 2:10
- And Elkanah goeth to Ramath, unto his house, and the youth hath been serving Jehovah, in the presence of Eli the priest; 1 Sam. 2:11
- and the sons of Eli are sons of worthlessness, they have not known Jehovah. 1 Sam. 2:12
- And the custom of the priests with the people is: any man sacrificing a sacrifice -- then hath the servant of the priest come in when the flesh is boiling, and the hook of three teeth in his hand, 1 Sam. 2:13
- and hath struck it into the pan, or kettle, or caldron, or pot; all that the hook bringeth up doth the priest take for himself; thus they do to all Israel who are coming in, there, in Shiloh. 1 Sam. 2:14
- Also before they make perfume with the fat -- then hath the priest's servant come in, and said to the man who is sacrificing, `Give flesh to roast for the priest, and he doth not take of thee flesh boiled, but raw;' 1 Sam. 2:15
- and the man saith unto him, `Let them surely make a perfume (as to-day) with the fat, then take to thee as thy soul desireth;' and he hath said to him, `Surely now thou dost give; and if not -- I have taken by strength.' 1 Sam. 2:16
- And the sin of the young men is very great in the presence of Jehovah, for the men have despised the offering of Jehovah. 1 Sam. 2:17
- And Samuel is ministering in the presence of Jehovah, a youth girt with an ephod of linen; 1 Sam. 2:18
- and a small upper coat doth his mother make to him, and she hath brought it up to him from time to time, in her coming up with her husband to sacrifice the sacrifice of the time. 1 Sam. 2:19
- And Eli blessed Elkanah, and his wife, and said, `Jehovah doth appoint for thee seed of this woman, for the petition which she asked for Jehovah;' and they have gone to their place. 1 Sam. 2:20
- When Jehovah hath looked after Hannah, then she conceiveth and beareth three sons and two daughters; and the youth Samuel groweth up with Jehovah. 1 Sam. 2:21
- And Eli is very old, and hath heard all that his sons do to all Israel, and how that they lie with the women who are assembling at the opening of the tent of meeting, 1 Sam. 2:22
- and he saith to them, `Why do ye things like these? for I am hearing of your evil words from all the people -- these! 1 Sam. 2:23
- Nay, my sons; for the report which I am hearing is not good causing the people of Jehovah to transgress. -- 1 Sam. 2:24
- If a man sin against a man, then hath God judged him; but if against Jehovah a man sin, who doth pray for him?' and they hearken not to the voice of their father, though Jehovah hath delighted to put them to death. 1 Sam. 2:25
- And the youth Samuel is going on and growing up, and is good both with Jehovah, and also with men. 1 Sam. 2:26
- And there cometh a man of God unto Eli, and saith unto him, `Thus said Jehovah, Was I really revealed unto the house of thy father in their being in Egypt, before Pharaoh's house, 1 Sam. 2:27
- even to choose him out of all the tribes of Israel to Me for a priest, to go up on Mine altar, to make a perfume, to bear an ephod before Me, and I give to the house of thy father all the fire-offerings of the sons of Israel? 1 Sam. 2:28
- Why do ye kick at My sacrifice, and at Mine offering which I commanded in My habitation, and dost honour thy sons above Me, to make yourselves fat from the first part of every offering of Israel, of My people? 1 Sam. 2:29
- `Therefore -- the affirmation of Jehovah, God of Israel -- I certainly said, Thy house and the house of thy father, do walk up and down before Me to the age; and now -- the affirmation of Jehovah -- Far be it from Me! for he who is honouring Me, I honour, and those despising Me, are lightly esteemed. 1 Sam. 2:30
- `Lo, days are coming, and I have cut off thine arm, and the arm of the house of thy father, that an old man is not in thy house; 1 Sam. 2:31
- and thou hast beheld an adversary in My habitation, in all that He doth good with Israel, and there is not an old man in thy house all the days. 1 Sam. 2:32
- `And the man I cut not off of thine from Mine altar, is to consume thine eyes, and to grieve thy soul; and all the increase of thy house do die men; 1 Sam. 2:33
- and this is to thee the sign that cometh unto thy two sons, unto Hophni and Phinehas -- in one day they die both of them; 1 Sam. 2:34
- and I have raised up for Me a stedfast priest; as in My heart and in My soul he doth do; and I have built for him a stedfast house, and he hath walked up and down before Mine anointed all the days; 1 Sam. 2:35
- and it hath been, every one who is left in thy house doth come in to bow himself to him, for a wage of silver, and a cake of bread, and hath said, Admit me, I pray thee, unto one of the priest's offices, to eat a morsel of bread.' 1 Sam. 2:36
- And the youth Samuel is serving Jehovah before Eli, and the word of Jehovah hath been precious in those days -- there is no vision broken forth. 1 Sam. 3:1
- And the lamp of God is not yet extinguished, and Samuel is lying down in the temple of Jehovah, where the ark of God is, 1 Sam. 3:3
- And Samuel hath not yet known Jehovah, and the word of Jehovah is not yet revealed unto him. 1 Sam. 3:7
- And Jehovah addeth to call Samuel the third time, and he riseth and goeth unto Eli, and saith, `Here am I, for thou hast called for me;' and Eli understandeth that Jehovah is calling to the youth. 1 Sam. 3:8
- And Jehovah saith unto Samuel, `Lo, I am doing a thing in Israel, at which the two ears of every one hearing it do tingle. 1 Sam. 3:11
- and I have declared to him that I am judging his house -- to the age, for the iniquity which he hath known, for his sons are making themselves vile, and he hath not restrained them, 1 Sam. 3:13
- and therefore I have sworn to the house of Eli: the iniquity of the house of Eli is not atoned for, by sacrifice, and by offering -- unto the age.' 1 Sam. 3:14
- And Samuel lieth till the morning, and openeth the doors of the house of Jehovah, and Samuel is afraid of declaring the vision unto Eli. 1 Sam. 3:15
- And he saith, `What is the word which He hath spoken unto thee? I pray thee, hide it not from me; so doth God do to thee, and so doth He add, if thou hidest from me a word of all the words that He hath spoken unto thee.' 1 Sam. 3:17
- And Samuel declareth to him the whole of the words, and hath not hid from him; and he saith, `It is Jehovah; that which is good in His eyes He doth.' 1 Sam. 3:18
- And Samuel groweth up, and Jehovah hath been with him, and hath not let fall any of his words to the earth; 1 Sam. 3:19
- And Jehovah addeth to appear in Shiloh, for Jehovah hath been revealed unto Samuel, in Shiloh, by the word of Jehovah. 1 Sam. 3:21

- And the people cometh in unto the camp, and the elders of Israel say, `Why hath Jehovah smitten us to-day before the Philistines? we take unto us from Shiloh the ark of the covenant of Jehovah, and it cometh into our midst, and He doth save us out of the hand of our enemies.' 1 Sam. 4:3
- And the people sendeth to Shiloh, and they take up thence the ark of the covenant of Jehovah of Hosts, inhabiting the cherubs, and there are two sons of Eli, with the ark of the covenant of God, Hophni and Phinehas. 1 Sam. 4:4

- And the Philistines hear the noise of the shouting, and say, `What is the noise of this great shout in the camp of the Hebrews?' and they perceive that the ark of Jehovah hath come in unto the camp. 1 Sam. 4:6
- And the Philistines are afraid, for they said, `God hath come in unto the camp;' and they say, `Wo to us, for there hath not been like this heretofore. 1 Sam. 4:7
- Wo to us, who doth deliver us out of the hand of these honourable gods? these are the gods who are smiting the Egyptians with every plague in the wilderness. 1 Sam. 4:8
- And the Philistines fight, and Israel is smitten, and they flee each to his tents, and the blow is very great, and there fall of Israel thirty thousand footmen; 1 Sam. 4:10

- And the man saith unto Eli, `I am he who hath come out of the ranks, and I out of the ranks have fled to-day;' and he saith, `What hath been the matter, my son?' 1 Sam. 4:16
- And he who is bearing tidings answereth and saith, `Israel hath fled before the Philistines, and also a great slaughter hath been among the people, and also thy two sons have died -- Hophni and Phinehas -- and the ark of God hath been captured.' 1 Sam. 4:17
- And it cometh to pass, at his mentioning the ark of God, that he falleth from off the throne backward, by the side of the gate, and his neck is broken, and he dieth, for the man is old and heavy, and he hath judged Israel forty years. 1 Sam. 4:18
- And his daughter-in-law, wife of Phinehas, is pregnant, about to bear, and she heareth the report of the taking of the ark of God, that her father-in-law and her husband have died, and she boweth, and beareth, for her pains have turned upon her. 1 Sam. 4:19
- And at the time of her death, when the women who are standing by her say, `Fear not, for a son thou hast borne,' she hath not answered, nor set her heart to it; 1 Sam. 4:20

- And the ark of Jehovah is in the field of the Philistines seven months, 1 Sam. 6:1
- and the Philistines call for priests and for diviners, saying, `What do we do to the ark of Jehovah? let us know wherewith we send it to its place?' 1 Sam. 6:2
- And they say, `If ye are sending away the ark of the God of Israel, ye do not send it away empty; for ye do certainly send back to Him a guilt-offering; then ye are healed, and it hath been known to you why His hand doth not turn aside from you.' 1 Sam. 6:3
- And they say, `What is the guilt-offering which we send back to Him?' and they say, `The number of the princes of the Philistines -- five golden emerods, and five golden mice -- for one plague is to you all, and to your princes, 1 Sam. 6:4
- and ye have made images of your emerods, and images of your mice that are corrupting the land, and have given honour to the God of Israel; it may be He doth lighten His hand from off you, and from off your gods, and from off your land; 1 Sam. 6:5

- and ye have seen, if the way of its own border it goeth up to Beth-Shemesh -- He hath done to us this great evil; and if not, then we have known that His hand hath not come against us; an accident it hath been to us.' 1 Sam. 6:9
- And the men do so, and take two suckling kine, and bind them in the cart, and their young ones they have shut up in the house; 1 Sam. 6:10

- And He smiteth among the men of Beth-Shemesh, for they looked into the ark of Jehovah, yea, He smiteth among the people seventy men -- fifty chief men; and the people mourn, because Jehovah smote among the people -- a great smiting. 1 Sam. 6:19

- and your fields, and your vineyards, and your olive-yards -- the best -- he doth take, and hath given to his servants. 1 Sam. 8:14

- `Then Thou hast hearkened unto the supplication of Thy servant, and of Thy people Israel, which they pray towards this place; yea, Thou dost hearken in the place of Thy dwelling, in the heavens -- and Thou hast hearkened, and hast forgiven, 1 Ki. 8:30
- that which a man sinneth against his neighbour, and he hath lifted up upon him an oath to cause him to swear, and the oath hath come in before Thine altar in this house, 1 Ki. 8:31
- then Thou dost hear in the heavens, and hast done, and hast judged Thy servants, to declare wicked the wicked, to put his way on his head, and to declare righteous the righteous, to give him according to his righteousness. 1 Ki. 8:32
- then thou dost hear in the heavens, and hast forgiven the sin of Thy people Israel, and brought them back unto the ground that Thou gavest to their fathers. 1 Ki. 8:34
- `In the heavens being restrained, and there is no rain, because they sin against Thee, and they have prayed towards this place, and confessed Thy name, and from their sin turn back, for Thou dost afflict them, 1 Ki. 8:35
- then Thou dost hear in the heavens, and hast forgiven the sin of Thy servants, and of Thy people Israel, for Thou directest them the good way in which they go, and hast given rain on Thy land which Thou hast given to Thy people for inheritance. 1 Ki. 8:36
- `Famine -- when it is in the land; pestilence -- when it is; blasting, mildew, locust; caterpillar -- when it is; when its enemy hath distressed it in the land in its gates, any plague, any sickness, -- 1 Ki. 8:37
- any prayer, any supplication that is of any man of all Thy people Israel, who know each the plague of his own heart, and hath spread his hands towards this house, 1 Ki. 8:38
- then Thou dost hear in the heavens, the settled place of Thy dwelling, and hast forgiven, and hast done, and hast given to each according to all his ways, whose heart Thou knowest, (for Thou hast known -- Thyself alone -- the heart of all the sons of man), 1 Ki. 8:39
- so that they fear Thee all the days that they are living on the face of the ground that Thou hast given to our fathers. 1 Ki. 8:40
- `And also, unto the stranger who is not of Thy people Israel, and hath come from a land afar off for Thy name's sake -- 1 Ki. 8:41
- Thou dost hear in the heavens, the settled place of Thy dwelling, and hast done according to all that the stranger calleth unto Thee for, in order that all the peoples of the earth may know Thy name, to fear Thee like Thy people Israel, and to know that Thy name hath been called on this house which I have builded. 1 Ki. 8:43
- `When Thy people doth go out to battle against its enemy, in the way that Thou dost send them, and they have prayed unto Jehovah the way of the city which thou hast fixed on, and of the house which I have builded for Thy name; 1 Ki. 8:44
- then Thou hast heard in the heavens their prayer and their supplication, and hast maintained their cause. 1 Ki. 8:45
- `When they sin against Thee (for there is not a man who sinneth not), and Thou hast been angry with them, and hast given them up before an enemy, and they have taken captive their captivity unto the land of the enemy far off or near; 1 Ki. 8:46
- and they have turned it back unto their heart in the land whither they have been taken captive, and have turned back, and made supplication unto Thee, in the land of their captors, saying, We have sinned and done perversely -- we have done wickedly; 1 Ki. 8:47
- yea, they have turned back unto Thee, with all their heart, and with all their soul, in the land of their enemies who have taken them captive, and have prayed unto Thee the way of their land, which Thou gavest to their fathers, the city which Thou hast chosen, and the house which I have builded for Thy name: 1 Ki. 8:48
- `Then Thou hast heard in the heavens, the settled place of Thy dwelling, their prayer and their supplication, and hast maintained their cause, 1 Ki. 8:49
- (for Thy people and Thy inheritance are they, whom Thou didst bring out of Egypt, out of the midst of the furnace of iron) -- 1 Ki. 8:51
- for Thine eyes being open unto the supplication of Thy servant, and unto the supplication of Thy people Israel, to hearken unto them in all they call unto Thee for; 1 Ki. 8:52
- for Thou hast separated them to Thyself for an inheritance, out of all the peoples of the earth, as Thou didst speak by the hand of Moses Thy servant, in Thy bringing out our fathers from Egypt, O Lord Jehovah.' 1 Ki. 8:53
- And it cometh to pass, at Solomon's finishing to pray unto Jehovah all this prayer and supplication, he hath risen from before the altar of Jehovah, from bending on his knees, and his hands spread out to the heavens, 1 Ki. 8:54
- and he standeth and blesseth all the assembly of Israel with a loud voice, saying, 1 Ki. 8:55
- `Blessed is Jehovah who hath given rest to His people Israel, according to all that He hath spoken; there hath not fallen one word of all His good word, which He spake by the hand of Moses his servant. 1 Ki. 8:56
- and these my words with which I have made supplication before Jehovah, are near unto Jehovah our God by day and by night, to maintain the cause of His servant, and the cause of His people Israel, the matter of a day in its day; 1 Ki. 8:59
- for all the peoples of the earth knowing that Jehovah, He is God; there is none else; 1 Ki. 8:60
- And the king and all Israel with him are sacrificing a sacrifice before Jehovah; 1 Ki. 8:62

- And I proclaim there a fast, by the river Ahava, to afflict ourselves before our God, to seek from Him a right way for us, and for our infants, and for all our substance, Ezra 8:21
- for I was ashamed to ask from the king a force and horsemen to help us because of the enemy in the way, for we spake to the king, saying, `The hand of our God is upon all seeking Him for good, and His strength and His wrath is upon all forsaking Him.' Ezra 8:22
- And I separate from the heads of the priests, twelve, even Sherebiah, Hashabiah, and with them of their brethren ten, Ezra 8:24

- Those coming in of the captives -- sons of the removal -- have brought near burnt-offerings to the God of Israel, bullocks twelve, for all Israel, rams ninety and six, lambs seventy and seven, young he-goats for a sin-offering twelve -- the whole a burnt-offering to Jehovah; Ezra 8:35

- for they have taken of their daughters to them, and to their sons, and the holy seed have mingled themselves among the peoples of the lands, and the hand of the heads and of the seconds have been first in this trespass.' Ezra 9:2
- And at my hearing this word, I have rent my garment and my upper robe, and pluck out of the hair of my head, and of my beard, and sit astonished, Ezra 9:3
- and unto me are gathered every one trembling at the words of the God of Israel, because of the trespass of the removal, and I am sitting astonished till the present of the evening. Ezra 9:4
- And at the present of the evening I have risen from mine affliction, and at my rending my garment and my upper robe, then I bow down on my knees, and spread out my hands unto Jehovah my God, Ezra 9:5
- and say, `O my God, I have been ashamed, and have blushed to lift up, O my God, my face unto Thee, for our iniquities have increased over the head, and our guilt hath become great unto the heavens. Ezra 9:6
- `From the days of our fathers we are in great guilt unto this day, and in our iniquities we have been given -- we, our kings, our priests -- into the hand of the kings of the lands, with sword, with captivity, and with spoiling, and with shame of face, as at this day. Ezra 9:7
- for servants we are, and in our servitude our God hath not forsaken us, and stretcheth out unto us kindness before the kings of Persia, to give to us a quickening to lift up the house of our God, and to cause its wastes to cease, and to give to us a wall in Judah and in Jerusalem. Ezra 9:9
- that Thou hast commanded by the hands of thy servants the prophets, saying, The land into which ye are going to possess it, is a land of impurity, by the impurity of the people of the lands, by their abominations with which they have filled it -- from mouth unto mouth -- by their uncleanness; Ezra 9:11
- and now, your daughters ye do not give to their sons, and their daughters ye do not take to your sons, and ye do not seek their peace, and their good -- unto the age, so that ye are strong, and have eaten the good of the land, and given possession to your sons unto the age. Ezra 9:12
- `And after all that hath come upon us for our evil works, and for our great guilt (for Thou, O our God, hast kept back of the rod from our iniquities, and hast given to us an escape like this), Ezra 9:13
- do we turn back to break Thy commands, and to join ourselves in marriage with the people of these abominations? art not Thou angry against us -- even to consumption -- till there is no remnant and escaped part? Ezra 9:14
- And at Ezra's praying, and at his making confession, weeping and casting himself down before the house of God, there have been gathered unto him out of Israel an assembly very great -- men and women and children -- for the people have wept, multiplying weeping. Ezra 10:1
- And Shechaniah son of Jehiel, of the sons of Elam, answereth and saith to Ezra, `We -- we have trespassed against our God, and we settle strange women of the peoples of the land; and now there is hope for Israel concerning this, Ezra 10:2
- and now, let us make a covenant with our God, to cause all the women to go out, and that which is born of them, by the counsel of the Lord, and of those trembling at the command of our God, and according to law it is done; Ezra 10:3
- rise, for on thee is the matter, and we are with thee; be strong, and do.' Ezra 10:4
- And Ezra riseth, and causeth the heads of the priests, the Levites, and all Israel, to swear to do according to this word -- and they swear. Ezra 10:5
- And Ezra riseth from before the house of God, and goeth unto the chamber of Jehohanan son of Eliashib; yea, he goeth there, bread he hath not eaten, and water he hath not drunk, for he is mourning because of the trespass of the removal. Ezra 10:6
- And they cause a voice to pass over into Judah and Jerusalem, to all sons of the removal, to be gathered to Jerusalem, Ezra 10:7
- and every one who cometh not in by the third day, according to the counsel of the heads and of the elders, all his substance is devoted, and himself separated from the assembly of the removal. Ezra 10:8
- And gathered are all the men of Judah and Benjamin to Jerusalem by the third day, it is the ninth month, on the twentieth of the month, and all the people sit in the broad place of the house of God, trembling on account of the matter and of the showers. Ezra 10:9
- And Ezra the priest riseth, and saith unto them, `Ye -- ye have trespassed, and ye settle strange women, to add to the guilt of Israel; Ezra 10:10
- and, now, make confession to Jehovah, God of your fathers, and do His good pleasure, and be separated from the peoples of the land, and from the strange women.' Ezra 10:11
- And all the assembly answer and say with a great voice, `Right; according to thy word -- on us to do; Ezra 10:12
- but the people are many, and it is the time of showers, and there is no power to stand without, and the work is not for one day, nor for two, for we have multiplied to transgress in this thing. Ezra 10:13
- `Let, we pray thee, our heads of all the assembly stand, and all who are in our cities, who have settled strange wives, do come in at the times appointed, and with them the elders of city and city, and its judges, till the turning back of the fury of the wrath of our God from us, for this thing.' Ezra 10:14
- Only Jonathan son of Asahel, and Jahaziah son of Tikvah, stood against this, and Meshullam, and Shabbethai the Levite, helped them. Ezra 10:15
- And the sons of the removal do so, and Ezra the priest, and men, heads of the fathers, for the house of their fathers, are separated, even all of them by name, and they sit on the first day of the tenth month, to examine the matter; Ezra 10:16
- and they finish with all the men who have settled strange women unto the first day of the first month. Ezra 10:17
- And there are found of the sons of the priests that have settled strange women: of the sons of Jeshua son of Jozadak, and his brethren, Maaseiah, and Eliezer, and Jarib, and Gedaliah; Ezra 10:18

- and come in doth Hanani, one of my brethren, he and men of Judah, and I ask them concerning the Jews, the escaped part that have been left of the captivity, and concerning Jerusalem; Neh. 1:2
- and they say to me, `Those left, who have been left of the captivity there in the province, are in great evil, and in reproach, and the wall of Jerusalem is broken down, and its gates have been burnt with fire.' Neh. 1:3

- and ye have turned back unto Me, and kept My commands, and done them -- if your outcast is in the end of the heavens, thence I gather them, and have brought them in unto the place that I have chosen to cause My name to tabernacle there. Neh. 1:9
- `I beseech Thee, O Lord, let, I pray Thee, Thine ear be attentive unto the prayer of Thy servant, and unto the prayer of Thy servants, those delighting to fear Thy Name; and give prosperity, I pray Thee, to Thy servant to-day, and give him for mercies before this man;' and I have been butler to the king. Neh. 1:11

- and they sacrifice on that day great sacrifices and rejoice, for God hath made them rejoice with great joy, and also, the women and the children have rejoiced, and the joy of Jerusalem is heard -- unto a distance. Neh. 12:43
- And certain are appointed on that day over the chambers for treasures, for heave-offerings, for first-fruits, and for tithes, to gather into them out of the fields of the cities the portions of the law for priests, and for Levites, for the joy of Judah is over the priests, and over the Levites, who are standing up. Neh. 12:44
- And the singers and the gatekeepers keep the charge of their God, even the charge of the cleansing -- according to the command of David and Solomon his son, Neh. 12:45
- for in the days of David and Asaph of old were heads of the singers, and a song of praise and thanksgiving to God. Neh. 12:46
- And all Israel in the days of Zerubbabel, and in the days of Nehemiah, are giving the portions of the singers, and of the gatekeepers, the matter of a day in its day, and are sanctifying to the Levites, and the Levites are sanctifying to the sons of Aaron. Neh. 12:47
- On that day there was read in the book of Moses, in the ears of the people, and it hath been found written in it that an Ammonite and Moabite doth not come into the assembly of God -- unto the age, Neh. 13:1
- because they have not come before the sons of Israel with bread and with water, and hire against them Balaam to revile them, and our God turneth the reviling into a blessing. Neh. 13:2
- And it cometh to pass, at their hearing the law, that they separate all the mixed people from Israel. Neh. 13:3
- And before this Eliashib the priest, appointed over chambers of the house of our God, is a relation of Tobiah, Neh. 13:4
- and he maketh for him a great chamber, and there they were formerly putting the present, the frankincense, and the vessels, and the tithe of the corn, the new wine, and the oil -- the commanded thing of the Levites, and the singers, and the gatekeepers -- and the heave-offering of the priests. Neh. 13:5
- And during all this I was not in Jerusalem, for in the thirty and second year of Artaxerxes king of Babylon did I come unto the king, and at the end of days I have asked of the king, Neh. 13:6
- and I come in to Jerusalem, and understand concerning the evil that Eliashib hath done for Tobiah, to make to him a chamber in the courts of the house of God, Neh. 13:7
- and it is very displeasing to me, and I cast all the vessels of the house of Tobiah without, out of the chamber, Neh. 13:8
- and I speak, and they cleanse the chambers, and I bring back thither the vessels of the house of God with the present and the frankincense. Neh. 13:9
- And I know that the portions of the Levites have not been given, and they flee each to his field -- the Levites and the singers, doing the work. Neh. 13:10
- And I strive with the prefects, and say, `Wherefore hath the house of God been forsaken?' and I gather them, and set them on their station; Neh. 13:11
- and all Judah have brought in the tithe of the corn, and of the new wine, and of the oil, to the treasuries. Neh. 13:12
- And I appoint treasurers over the treasuries, Shelemiah the priest, and Zadok the scribe, and Pedaiah of the Levites; and by their hand is Hanan son of Zaccur, son of Mattaniah, for stedfast they have been reckoned, and on them it is to give a portion to their brethren. Neh. 13:13
- Be mindful of me, O my God, for this, and do not blot out my kind acts that I have done, for the house of my God, and for its charges. Neh. 13:14
- In those days I have seen in Judah those treading wine-vats on sabbath, and bringing in the sheaves, and lading on the asses, and also, wine, grapes, and figs, and every burden, yea, they are bringing in to Jerusalem on the sabbath-day, and I testify in the day of their selling provision. Neh. 13:15
- And the Tyrians have dwelt in it, bringing in fish, and every ware, and selling on sabbath to the sons of Judah and in Jerusalem. Neh. 13:16
- And I strive with the freemen of Judah, and say to them, `What is this evil thing that ye are doing, and polluting the sabbath-day? Neh. 13:17
- Thus did not your fathers do? and our God bringeth in on us all this evil, and on this city, and ye are adding fierceness on Israel, to pollute the sabbath.' Neh. 13:18
- And it cometh to pass, when the gates of Jerusalem have been dark before the sabbath, that I speak, and the doors are shut, and I say, that they do not open them till after the sabbath; and of my servants I have stationed at the gates; there doth not come in a burden on the sabbath-day. Neh. 13:19
- And they lodge -- the merchants and sellers of all ware -- at the outside of Jerusalem, once or twice, Neh. 13:20
- and I testify against them, and say unto them, `Wherefore are ye lodging over-against the wall? if ye repeat it, a hand I put forth upon you;' from that time they have not come in on the sabbath. Neh. 13:21
- And I say to the Levites, that they be cleansed, and, coming in, keeping the gates, to sanctify the sabbath-day. Also, this, remember for me, O my God, and have pity on me, according to the abundance of Thy kindness. Neh. 13:22
- Also, in those days, I have seen the Jews who have settled women of Ashdod, of Ammon, of Moab. Neh. 13:23
- And of their sons, half are speaking Ashdoditish -- and are not knowing to speak Jewish -- and according to the language of people and people. Neh. 13:24
- `By these did not Solomon king of Israel sin? and among the many nations there was no king like him, and beloved by his God he was, and God maketh him king over all Israel -- even him did the strange women cause to sin. Neh. 13:26
- And one of the sons of Joiada son of Eliashib the high priest, is son-in-law to Sanballat the Horonite, and I cause him to flee from off me. Neh. 13:28
- Be mindful of them, O my God, for the redeemed of the priesthood, and the covenant of the priesthood, and of the Levites. Neh. 13:29
- and for the wood-offering at appointed times, and for first-fruits. Be mindful of me, O my God, for good. Neh. 13:31
- And it cometh to pass, in the days of Ahasuerus -- he is Ahasuerus who is reigning from Hodu even unto Cush, seven and twenty and a hundred provinces -- Esther 1:1
- in those days, at the sitting of the king Ahasuerus on the throne of his kingdom, that is in Shushan the palace, Esther 1:2
- in the third year of his reign, he hath made a banquet to all his heads and his servants; of the force of Persia and Media, the chiefs and heads of the provinces are before him, Esther 1:3
- in his shewing the wealth of the honour of his kingdom, and the glory of the beauty of his greatness, many days -- eighty and a hundred days. Esther 1:4
- And at the fulness of these days hath the king made to all the people who are found in Shushan the palace, from great even unto small, a banquet, seven days, in the court of the garden of the house of the king -- Esther 1:5
- and the giving of drink in vessels of gold, and the vessels are divers vessels, and the royal wine is abundant, as a memorial of the king. Esther 1:7
- And the drinking is according to law, none is pressing, for so hath the king appointed for every chief one of his house, to do according to the pleasure of man and man. Esther 1:8
- Also Vashti the queen hath made a banquet for women, in the royal house that the king Ahasuerus hath. Esther 1:9
- On the seventh day, as the heart of the king is glad with wine, he hath said to Mehuman, Biztha, Harbona, Bigtha, and Abagtha, Zethar, and Carcas, the seven eunuchs who are ministering in the presence of the king Ahasuerus, Esther 1:10
- to bring in Vashti the queen before the king, with a royal crown, to shew the peoples and the heads her beauty, for she is of good appearance, Esther 1:11
- and the queen Vashti refuseth to come in at the word of the king that is by the hand of the eunuchs, and the king is very wroth, and his fury hath burned in him. Esther 1:12
- And the king saith to wise men, knowing the times -- for so is the word of the king before all knowing law and judgment, Esther 1:13
- and he who is near unto him is Carshena, Shethar, Admatha, Tarshish, Meres, Marsena, Memucan, seven heads of Persia and Media seeing the face of the king, who are sitting first in the kingdom -- Esther 1:14
- `According to law, what -- to do with queen Vashti, because that she hath not done the saying of the king Ahasuerus by the hand of the eunuchs?' Esther 1:15
- And Memucan saith before the king and the heads, `Not against the king by himself hath Vashti the queen done perversely, but against all the heads, and against all the peoples that are in all provinces of the king Ahasuerus; Esther 1:16
- for go forth doth the word of the queen unto all the women, to render their husbands contemptible in their eyes, in their saying, The king Ahasuerus said to bring in Vashti the queen before him, and she did not come; Esther 1:17
- yea, this day do princesses of Persia and Media, who have heard the word of the queen, say so to all heads of the king, even according to the sufficiency of contempt and wrath. Esther 1:18
- `If to the king it be good, there goeth forth a royal word from before him, and it is written with the laws of Persia and Media, and doth not pass away, that Vashti doth not come in before the king Ahasuerus, and her royalty doth the king give to her companion who is better than she; Esther 1:19
- and the sentence of the king that he maketh hath been heard in all his kingdom -- for it is great -- and all the wives give honour to their husbands, from great even unto small.' Esther 1:20
- And the thing is good in the eyes of the king, and of the princes, and the king doth according to the word of Memucan, Esther 1:21
- and sendeth letters unto all provinces of the king, unto province and province according to its writing, and unto people and people according to its tongue, for every man being head in his own house -- and speaking according to the language of his people. Esther 1:22
- After these things, at the ceasing of the fury of the king Ahasuerus, he hath remembered Vashti, and that which she did, and that which hath been decreed concerning her; Esther 2:1
- and servants of the king, his ministers, say, `Let them seek for the king young women, virgins, of good appearance, Esther 2:2
- and the king doth appoint inspectors in all provinces of his kingdom, and they gather every young woman -- virgin, of good appearance -- unto Shushan the palace, unto the house of the women, unto the hand of Hege eunuch of the king, keeper of the women, and to give their purifications, Esther 2:3
- and the young woman who is good in the eyes of the king doth reign instead of Vashti;' and the thing is good in the eyes of the king, and he doth so. Esther 2:4
- A man, a Jew, there hath been in Shushan the palace, and his name is Mordecai son of Jair, son of Shimei, son of Kish, a Benjamite -- Esther 2:5
- who had been removed from Jerusalem with the removal that was removed with Jeconiah king of Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon removed -- Esther 2:6
- and he is supporting Hadassah -- she is Esther -- daughter of his uncle, for she hath neither father nor mother, and the young woman is of fair form, and of good appearance, and at the death of her father and her mother hath Mordecai taken her to him for a daughter. Esther 2:7
- And it cometh to pass, in the word of the king, even his law, being heard, and in many young women being gathered unto Shushan the palace, unto the hand of Hegai, that Esther is taken unto the house of the king, unto the hand of Hegai, keeper of the women, Esther 2:8
- and the young woman is good in his eyes, and she receiveth kindness before him, and he hasteneth her purifications and her portions -- to give to her, and the seven young women who are provided -- to give to her, from the house of the king, and he changeth her and her young women to a good place in the house of the women. Esther 2:9
- and during every day Mordecai is walking up and down before the court of the house of the women to know the welfare of Esther, and what is done with her. Esther 2:11
- And in the drawing nigh of the turn of each young woman to come in unto the king Ahasuerus, at the end of there being to her -- according to the law of the women -- twelve months, for so they fulfil the days of their purifications; six months with oil of myrrh, and six months with spices, and with the purifications of women, Esther 2:12
- and with this the young woman hath come in unto the king, all that she saith is given to her, to go in with her, out of the house of the women, unto the house of the king; Esther 2:13
- in the evening she hath gone in, and in the morning she hath turned back unto the second house of the women, unto the hand of Shaashgaz eunuch of the king, keeper of the concubines; she cometh not in any more unto the king except the king hath delighted in her, and she hath been called by name. Esther 2:14
- And in the drawing nigh of the turn of Esther -- daughter of Abihail, uncle of Mordecai, whom he had taken to him for a daughter -- to come in unto the king, she hath not sought a thing except that which Hegai eunuch of the king, keeper of the women, saith, and Esther is receiving grace in the eyes of all seeing her. Esther 2:15
- And Esther is taken unto the king Ahasuerus, unto his royal house, in the tenth month -- it is the month of Tebeth -- in the seventh year of his reign, Esther 2:16
- and the king loveth Esther above all the women, and she receiveth grace and kindness before him above all the virgins, and he setteth a royal crown on her head, and causeth her to reign instead of Vashti, Esther 2:17
- and the king maketh a great banquet to all his heads and his servants -- the banquet of Esther -- and a release to the provinces hath made, and giveth gifts as a memorial of the king. Esther 2:18
- And in the virgins being gathered a second time, then Mordecai is sitting in the gate of the king; Esther 2:19
- Esther is not declaring her kindred and her people, as Mordecai hath laid a charge upon her, and the saying of Mordecai Esther is doing as when she was truly with him. Esther 2:20
- In those days, when Mordecai is sitting in the gate of the king, hath Bigthan been wroth, and Teresh, (two of the eunuchs of the king, the keepers of the threshold,) and they seek to put forth a hand on king Ahasuerus, Esther 2:21
- and the thing is known to Mordecai, and he declareth it to Esther the queen, and Esther speaketh to the king in the name of Mordecai, Esther 2:22
- and the thing is sought out, and found, and they are hanged both of them on a tree, and it is written in the book of the Chronicles before the king. Esther 2:23
- After these things hath the king Ahasuerus exalted Haman son of Hammedatha the Agagite, and lifteth him up, and setteth his throne above all the heads who are with him, Esther 3:1
- and all servants of the king, who are in the gate of the king, are bowing and doing obeisance to Haman, for so hath the king commanded for him; and Mordecai doth not bow nor do obeisance. Esther 3:2
- And the servants of the king, who are in the gate of the king, say to Mordecai, `Wherefore art thou transgressing the command of the king?' Esther 3:3
- And it cometh to pass, in their speaking unto him, day by day, and he hath not hearkened unto them, that they declare it to Haman, to see whether the words of Mordecai do stand, for he hath declared to them that he is a Jew. Esther 3:4
- and it is contemptible in his eyes to put forth a hand on Mordecai by himself, for they have declared to him the people of Mordecai, and Haman seeketh to destroy all the Jews who are in all the kingdom of Ahasuerus -- the people of Mordecai. Esther 3:6
- In the first month -- it is the month of Nisan -- in the twelfth year of the king Ahasuerus, hath one caused to fall Pur (that is the lot) before Haman, from day to day, and from month to month, to the twelfth, it is the month of Adar. Esther 3:7
- And Haman saith to the king Ahasuerus, `There is one people scattered and separated among the peoples, in all provinces of thy kingdom, and their laws are diverse from all people, and the laws of the king they are not doing, and for the king it is not profitable to suffer them; Esther 3:8
- if to the king it be good, let it be written to destroy them, and ten thousand talents of silver I weigh into the hands of those doing the work, to bring it in unto the treasuries of the king.' Esther 3:9
- And the king turneth aside his signet from off his hand, and giveth it to Haman son of Hammedatha the Agagite, adversary of the Jews; Esther 3:10
- and the king saith to Haman, `The silver is given to thee, and the people, to do with it as it is good in thine eyes.' Esther 3:11
- And scribes of the king are called, on the first month, on the thirteenth day of it, and it is written according to all that Haman hath commanded, unto lieutenants of the king, and unto the governors who are over province and province, and unto the heads of people and people, province and province, according to its writing, and people and people according to its tongue, in the name of the king Ahasuerus it hath been written and sealed with the signet of the king, Esther 3:12
- and letters to be sent by the hand of the runners unto all provinces of the king, to cut off, to slay, and to destroy all the Jews, from young even unto old, infant and women, on one day, on the thirteenth of the twelfth month -- it is the month of Adar -- and their spoil to seize, Esther 3:13
- a copy of the writing to be made law in every province and province is revealed to all the peoples, to be ready for this day. Esther 3:14
- The runners have gone forth, hastened by the word of the king, and the law hath been given in Shushan the palace, and the king and Haman have sat down to drink, and the city Shushan is perplexed. Esther 3:15
- And Mordecai hath known all that hath been done, and Mordecai rendeth his garments, and putteth on sackcloth and ashes, and goeth forth into the midst of the city and crieth -- a cry loud and bitter, Esther 4:1
- and he cometh in unto the front of the gate of the king, but none is to come in unto the gate of the king with a sackcloth-garment. Esther 4:2
- And in every province and province, the place where the word of the king, even his law, is coming, a great mourning have the Jews, and fasting, and weeping, and lamenting: sackcloth and ashes are spread for many. Esther 4:3
- And young women of Esther come in and her eunuchs, and declare it to her, and the queen is exceedingly pained, and sendeth garments to clothe Mordecai, and to turn aside his sackcloth from off him, and he hath not received them. Esther 4:4
- And Esther calleth to Hatach, of the eunuchs of the king, whom he hath stationed before her, and giveth him a charge for Mordecai, to know what this is, and wherefore this is. Esther 4:5
- And Hatach goeth out unto Mordecai, unto a broad place of the city, that is before the gate of the king, Esther 4:6
- and Mordecai declareth to him all that hath met him, and the explanation of the money that Haman said to weigh to the treasuries of the king for the Jews, to destroy them, Esther 4:7
- and the copy of the writing of the law that had been given in Shushan to destroy them he hath given to him, to shew Esther, and to declare it to her, and to lay a charge on her to go in unto the king, to make supplication to him, and to seek from before him, for her people. Esther 4:8
- And Hatach cometh in and declareth to Esther the words of Mordecai, Esther 4:9
- `All servants of the king, and people of the provinces of the king, do know that any man and woman, who cometh in unto the king, unto the inner court, who is not called -- one law of his is to put them to death, apart from him to whom the king holdeth out the golden sceptre, then he hath lived; and I -- I have not been called to come in unto the king these thirty days.' Esther 4:11
- And they declare to Mordecai the words of Esther, Esther 4:12
- and Mordecai speaketh to send back unto Esther: `Do not think in thy soul to be delivered in the house of the king, more than all the Jews, Esther 4:13
- but if thou keep entirely silent at this time, respite and deliverance remaineth to the Jews from another place, and thou and the house of thy fathers are destroyed; and who knoweth whether for a time like this thou hast come to the kingdom?' Esther 4:14
- `Go, gather all the Jews who are found in Shushan, and fast for me, and do not eat nor drink three days, by night and by day; also I and my young women do fast likewise, and so I go in unto the king, that is not according to law, and when I have perished -- I have perished.' Esther 4:16
- And it cometh to pass on the third day, that Esther putteth on royalty, and standeth in the inner-court of the house of the king over-against the house of the king, and the king is sitting on his royal throne, in the royal-house, over-against the opening of the house, Esther 5:1
- and it cometh to pass, at the king's seeing Esther the queen standing in the court, she hath received grace in his eyes, and the king holdeth out to Esther the golden sceptre that is in his hand, and Esther draweth near, and toucheth the top of the sceptre. Esther 5:2
- And the king saith to her, `What -- to thee Esther, O queen? and what thy request? unto the half of the kingdom -- and it is given to thee.' Esther 5:3
- And Esther saith, `If unto the king it be good, the king doth come in, and Haman, to-day, unto the banquet that I have made for him;' Esther 5:4
- and the king saith, `Haste ye Haman -- to do the word of Esther;' and the king cometh in, and Haman, unto the banquet that Esther hath made. Esther 5:5
- And the king saith to Esther, during the banquet of wine, `What is thy petition? and it is given to thee; and what thy request? unto the half of the kingdom -- and it is done.' Esther 5:6
- if I have found grace in the eyes of the king, and if unto the king it be good, to give my petition, and to perform my request, the king doth come, and Haman, unto the banquet that I make for them, and to-morrow I do according to the word of the king.' Esther 5:8
- And Haman goeth forth on that day rejoicing and glad in heart, and at Haman's seeing Mordecai in the gate of the king, and he hath not risen nor moved for him, then is Haman full of fury against Mordecai. Esther 5:9
- and Haman recounteth to them the glory of his wealth, and the abundance of his sons, and all that with which the king made him great, and with which he lifted him up above the heads and servants of the king. Esther 5:11
- And Haman saith, `Yea, Esther the queen brought none in with the king, unto the feast that she made, except myself, and also for to-morrow I am called to her, with the king, Esther 5:12
- and all this is not profitable to me, during all the time that I am seeing Mordecai the Jew sitting in the gate of the king.' Esther 5:13
- And Zeresh his wife saith to him, and all his friends, `Let them prepare a tree, in height fifty cubits, and in the morning speak to the king, and they hang Mordecai on it, and go thou in with the king unto the banquet rejoicing;' and the thing is good before Haman, and he prepareth the tree. Esther 5:14
- On that night hath the sleep of the king fled away, and he saith to bring in the book of memorials of the Chronicles, and they are read before the king, Esther 6:1
- and it is found written that Mordecai had declared concerning Bigthana and Teresh, two of the eunuchs of the king, of the keepers of the threshold, who sought to put forth a hand on king Ahasuerus. Esther 6:2
- And the king saith, `What honour and greatness hath been done to Mordecai for this?' And the servants of the king, his ministers, say, `Nothing hath been done with him.' Esther 6:3
- And the king saith, `Who is in the court?' -- and Haman hath come in to the outer court of the house of the king, to say to the king to hang Mordecai on the tree that he had prepared for him -- Esther 6:4
- and the servants of the king say unto him, `Lo, Haman is standing in the court;' and the king saith, `Let him come in.' Esther 6:5
- And Haman cometh in, and the king saith to him, `What -- to do with the man in whose honour the king hath delighted?' And Haman saith in his heart, `To whom doth the king delight to do honour more than myself?' Esther 6:6
- And Haman saith unto the king, `The man in whose honour the king hath delighted, Esther 6:7
- let them bring in royal clothing that the king hath put on himself, and a horse on which the king hath ridden, and that the royal crown be put on his head, Esther 6:8
- and to give the clothing and the horse into the hand of a man of the heads of the king, the chiefs, and they have clothed the man in whose honour the king hath delighted, and caused him to ride on the horse in a broad place of the city, and called before him: Thus it is done to the man in whose honour the king hath delighted.' Esther 6:9
- And the king saith to Haman, `Haste, take the clothing and the horse, as thou hast spoken, and do so to Mordecai the Jew, who is sitting in the gate of the king; there doth not fall a thing of all that thou hast spoken.' Esther 6:10
- And Haman taketh the clothing, and the horse, and clothed Mordecai, and causeth him to ride in a broad place of the city, and calleth before him, `Thus it is done to the man in whose honour the king hath delighted.' Esther 6:11
- And Mordecai turneth back unto the gate of the king, and Haman hath been hastened unto his house mourning, and with covered head, Esther 6:12
- and Haman recounteth to Zeresh his wife, and to all his friends, all that hath met him, and his wise men say to him, and Zeresh his wife, `If Mordecai is of the seed of the Jews, before whom thou hast begun to fall, thou art not able for him, but dost certainly fall before him.' Esther 6:13
- They are yet speaking with him, and eunuchs of the king have come, and haste to bring in Haman unto the banquet that Esther hath made. Esther 6:14
- And the king cometh in, and Haman, to drink with Esther the queen, Esther 7:1
- and the king saith to Esther also on the second day, during the banquet of wine, `What is thy petition, Esther, O queen? and it is given to thee; and what thy request? unto the half of the kingdom -- and it is done.' Esther 7:2
- And Esther the queen answereth and saith, `If I have found grace in thine eyes, O king, and if to the king it be good, let my life be given to me at my petition, and my people at my request; Esther 7:3
- for we have been sold, I and my people, to cut off, to slay, and to destroy; and if for men-servants and for maid-servants we had been sold I had kept silent -- but the adversity is not equal to the loss of the king.' Esther 7:4
- And the king Ahasuerus saith, yea, he saith to Esther the queen, `Who is he -- this one? and where is this one? -- he whose heart hath filled him to do so?' Esther 7:5
- And Esther saith, `The man -- adversary and enemy -- is this wicked Haman;' and Haman hath been afraid at the presence of the king and of the queen. Esther 7:6
- And the king hath risen, in his fury, from the banquet of wine, unto the garden of the house, and Haman hath remained to seek for his life from Esther the queen, for he hath seen that evil hath been determined against him by the king. Esther 7:7
- And the king hath turned back out of the garden of the house unto the house of the banquet of wine, and Haman is falling on the couch on which Esther is, and the king saith, `Also to subdue the queen with me in the house?' the word hath gone out from the mouth of the king, and the face of Haman they have covered. Esther 7:8
- And Harbonah, one of the eunuchs, saith before the king, `Also lo, the tree that Haman made for Mordecai, who spake good for the king, is standing in the house of Haman, in height fifty cubits;' and the king saith, `Hang him upon it.' Esther 7:9
- And they hang Haman upon the tree that he had prepared for Mordecai, and the fury of the king hath lain down. Esther 7:10
- On that day hath the king Ahasuerus given to Esther the queen the house of Haman, adversary of the Jews, and Mordecai hath come in before the king, for Esther hath declared what he is to her, Esther 8:1
- and the king turneth aside his signet, that he hath caused to pass away from Haman, and giveth it to Mordecai, and Esther setteth Mordecai over the house of Haman. Esther 8:2
- And Esther addeth, and speaketh before the king, and falleth before his feet, and weepeth, and maketh supplication to him, to cause the evil of Haman the Agagite to pass away, and his device that he had devised against the Jews; Esther 8:3
- and the king holdeth out to Esther the golden sceptre, and Esther riseth, and standeth before the king, Esther 8:4
- and saith, `If to the king it be good, and if I have found grace before him, and the thing hath been right before the king, and I be good in his eyes, let it be written to bring back the letters -- a device of Haman son of Hammedatha the Agagite -- that he wrote to destroy the Jews who are in all provinces of the king, Esther 8:5

- as days on which the Jews have rested from their enemies, and the month that hath been turned to them from sorrow to joy, and from mourning to a good day, to make them days of banquet and of joy, and of sending portions one to another, and gifts to the needy. Esther 9:22
- And the Jews have received that which they had begun to do, and that which Mordecai hath written unto them, Esther 9:23
- because Haman son of Hammedatha the Agagite, adversary of all the Jews, had devised concerning the Jews to destroy them, and had caused to fall Pur -- that is the lot -- to crush them and to destroy them; Esther 9:24
- and in her coming in before the king, he said with the letter, `Let his evil device that he devised against the Jews turn back upon his own head,' and they have hanged him and his sons on the tree, Esther 9:25
- therefore they have called these days Purim -- by the name of the lot -- therefore, because of all the words of this letter, and what they have seen concerning this, and what hath come unto them, Esther 9:26
- the Jews have established and received upon them, and upon their seed, and upon all those joined unto them, and it doth not pass away, to be keeping these two days according to their writing, and according to their season, in every year and year; Esther 9:27

- And the king Ahasuerus setteth a tribute on the land and the isles of the sea; Esther 10:1
- and all the work of his strength, and his might, and the explanation of the greatness of Mordecai with which the king made him great, are they not written on the book of the Chronicles of Media and Persia? Esther 10:2
- For Mordecai the Jew is second to king Ahasuerus, and a great man of the Jews, and accepted of the multitude of his brethren, seeking good for his people, and speaking peace to all his seed. Esther 10:3

- The door turneth round on its hinge, And the slothful on his bed. Pr. 26:14

- Laying hold on the ears of a dog, Is a passer-by making himself wrath for strife not his own. Pr. 26:17
- The words of a tale-bearer are as self-inflicted wounds, And they have gone down to the inner parts of the heart. Pr. 26:22
- Whoso is digging a pit falleth into it, And the roller of a stone, to him it turneth. Pr. 26:27
- A stone is heavy, and the sand is heavy, And the anger of a fool Is heavier than they both. Pr. 27:3

- The prudent hath seen the evil, he is hidden, The simple have passed on, they are punished. Pr. 27:12
- Whoso is saluting his friend with a loud voice, In the morning rising early, A light thing it is reckoned to him. Pr. 27:14

- For riches are not to the age, Nor a crown to generation and generation. Pr. 27:24

- Lambs are for thy clothing, And the price of the field are he-goats, Pr. 27:26
- The wicked have fled and there is no pursuer. And the righteous as a young lion is confident. Pr. 28:1
- By the transgression of a land many are its heads. And by an intelligent man, Who knoweth right -- it is prolonged. Pr. 28:2
- A man -- poor and oppressing the weak, Is a sweeping rain, and there is no bread. Pr. 28:3
- Those forsaking the law praise the wicked, Those keeping the law plead against them. Pr. 28:4

- Whoso is turning his ear from hearing the law, Even his prayer is an abomination. Pr. 28:9
- Whoso is causing the upright to err in an evil way, Into his own pit he doth fall, And the perfect do inherit good. Pr. 28:10
- A rich man is wise in his own eyes, And the intelligent poor searcheth him. Pr. 28:11
- In the exulting of the righteous the glory is abundant, And in the rising of the wicked man is apprehensive. Pr. 28:12
- O the happiness of a man fearing continually, And whoso is hardening his heart falleth into evil. Pr. 28:14
- A growling lion, and a ranging bear, Is the wicked ruler over a poor people. Pr. 28:15
- A man oppressed with the blood of a soul, Unto the pit fleeth, none taketh hold on him. Pr. 28:17
- Whoso is walking uprightly is saved, And the perverted of ways falleth at once. Pr. 28:18

- Words of a Gatherer, son of an obedient one, the declaration, an affirmation of the man: -- I have wearied myself for God, I have wearied myself for God, and am consumed. Pr. 30:1
- For I am more brutish than any one, And have not the understanding of a man. Pr. 30:2

- Who went up to heaven, and cometh down? Who hath gathered the wind in his fists? Who hath bound waters in a garment? Who established all ends of the earth? What is His name? and what His son's name? Surely thou knowest! Pr. 30:4
- Vanity and a lying word put far from me, Poverty or wealth give not to me, Cause me to eat the bread of my portion, Pr. 30:8
- Lest I become satiated, and have denied, And have said, `Who is Jehovah?' And lest I be poor, and have stolen, And have laid hold of the name of my God. Pr. 30:9

- To the leech are two daughters, `Give, give, Lo, three things are not satisfied, Four have not said `Sufficiency;' Pr. 30:15
- An eye that mocketh at a father, And despiseth to obey a mother, Dig it out do ravens of the valley, And eat it do young eagles. Pr. 30:17
- The way of the eagle in the heavens, The way of a serpent on a rock, The way of a ship in the heart of the sea, And the way of a man in youth. Pr. 30:19
- So -- the way of an adulterous woman, She hath eaten and hath wiped her mouth, And hath said, `I have not done iniquity.' Pr. 30:20

- The heart of her husband hath trusted in her, And spoil he lacketh not. Pr. 31:11
- She hath been as ships of the merchant, From afar she bringeth in her bread. Pr. 31:14
- She hath considered a field, and taketh it, From the fruit of her hands she hath planted a vineyard. Pr. 31:16
- She hath perceived when her merchandise is good, Her lamp is not extinguished in the night. Pr. 31:18
- Her hand she hath spread forth to the poor, Yea, her hands she sent forth to the needy. Pr. 31:20
- Known in the gates is her husband, In his sitting with elders of the land. Pr. 31:23
- Linen garments she hath made, and selleth, And a girdle she hath given to the merchant. Pr. 31:24
- Her mouth she hath opened in wisdom, And the law of kindness is on her tongue. Pr. 31:26
- She is watching the ways of her household, And bread of sloth she eateth not. Pr. 31:27
- `Many are the daughters who have done worthily, Thou hast gone up above them all.' Pr. 31:29
- The grace is false, and the beauty is vain, A woman fearing Jehovah, she may boast herself. Pr. 31:30
- Give ye to her of the fruit of her hands, And her works do praise her in the gates! Pr. 31:31
- Vanity of vanities, said the Preacher, Vanity of vanities: the whole is vanity. Eccl. 1:2
- What advantage is to man by all his labour that he laboureth at under the sun? Eccl. 1:3
- A generation is going, and a generation is coming, and the earth to the age is standing. Eccl. 1:4
- Also, the sun hath risen, and the sun hath gone in, and unto its place panting it is rising there. Eccl. 1:5
- Going unto the south, and turning round unto the north, turning round, turning round, the wind is going, and by its circuits the wind hath returned. Eccl. 1:6
- All the streams are going unto the sea, and the sea is not full; unto a place whither the streams are going, thither they are turning back to go. Eccl. 1:7
- All these things are wearying; a man is not able to speak, the eye is not satisfied by seeing, nor filled is the ear from hearing. Eccl. 1:8
- What is that which hath been? it is that which is, and what is that which hath been done? it is that which is done, and there is not an entirely new thing under the sun. Eccl. 1:9
- There is a thing of which one saith: `See this, it is new!' already it hath been in the ages that were before us! Eccl. 1:10
- There is not a remembrance of former generations; and also of the latter that are, there is no remembrance of them with those that are at the last. Eccl. 1:11
- And I have given my heart to seek and to search out by wisdom concerning all that hath been done under the heavens. It is a sad travail God hath given to the sons of man to be humbled by it. Eccl. 1:13
- I have seen all the works that have been done under the sun, and lo, the whole is vanity and vexation of spirit! Eccl. 1:14
- I have sought in my heart to draw out with wine my appetite, (and my heart leading in wisdom), and to take hold on folly till that I see where is this -- the good to the sons of man of that which they do under the heavens, the number of the days of their lives. Eccl. 2:3
- I got men-servants, and maid-servants, and sons of the house were to me; also, I had much substance -- herd and flock -- above all who had been before me in Jerusalem. Eccl. 2:7
- I gathered for me also silver and gold, and the peculiar treasure of kings and of the provinces. I prepared for me men-singers and women-singers, and the luxuries of the sons of man -- a wife and wives. Eccl. 2:8
- and I have looked on all my works that my hands have done, and on the labour that I have laboured to do, and lo, the whole is vanity and vexation of spirit, and there is no advantage under the sun! Eccl. 2:11
- And I turned to see wisdom, and madness, and folly, but what is the man who cometh after the king? that which is already -- they have done it! Eccl. 2:12
- And I saw that there is an advantage to wisdom above folly, like the advantage of the light above the darkness. Eccl. 2:13
- The wise! -- his eyes are in his head, and the fool in darkness is walking, and I also knew that one event happeneth with them all; Eccl. 2:14
- and I said in my heart, `As it happeneth with the fool, it happeneth also with me, and why am I then more wise?' And I spake in my heart, that also this is vanity: Eccl. 2:15
- That there is no remembrance to the wise -- with the fool -- to the age, for that which is already, in the days that are coming is all forgotten, and how dieth the wise? with the fool! Eccl. 2:16
- And I have hated life, for sad to me is the work that hath been done under the sun, for the whole is vanity and vexation of spirit. Eccl. 2:17
- And I have hated all my labour that I labour at under the sun, because I leave it to a man who is after me. Eccl. 2:18
- And who knoweth whether he is wise or foolish? yet he doth rule over all my labour that I have laboured at, and that I have done wisely under the sun! this also is vanity. Eccl. 2:19
- And I turned round to cause my heart to despair concerning all the labour that I laboured at under the sun. Eccl. 2:20
- For what hath been to a man by all his labour, and by the thought of his heart that he laboured at under the sun? Eccl. 2:22
- There is nothing good in a man who eateth, and hath drunk, and hath shewn his soul good in his labour. This also I have seen that it is from the hand of God. Eccl. 2:24
- For to a man who is good before Him, He hath given wisdom, and knowledge, and joy; and to a sinner He hath given travail, to gather and to heap up, to give to the good before God. Even this is vanity and vexation of spirit. Eccl. 2:26
- To everything -- a season, and a time to every delight under the heavens: Eccl. 3:1
- A time to bring forth, And a time to die. A time to plant, And a time to eradicate the planted. Eccl. 3:2
- What advantage hath the doer in that which he is labouring at? Eccl. 3:9
- I have seen the travail that God hath given to the sons of man to be humbled by it. Eccl. 3:10
- The whole He hath made beautiful in its season; also, that knowledge He hath put in their heart without which man findeth not out the work that God hath done from the beginning even unto the end. Eccl. 3:11
- I have known that all that God doth is to the age, to it nothing is to be added, and from it nothing is to be withdrawn; and God hath wrought that they do fear before Him. Eccl. 3:14
- And again, I have seen under the sun the place of judgment -- there is the wicked; and the place of righteousness -- there is the wicked. Eccl. 3:16
- I said in my heart, `The righteous and the wicked doth God judge, for a time is to every matter and for every work there.' Eccl. 3:17
- I said in my heart concerning the matter of the sons of man that God might cleanse them, so as to see that they themselves are beasts. Eccl. 3:18
- For an event is to the sons of man, and an event is to the beasts, even one event is to them; as the death of this, so is the death of that; and one spirit is to all, and the advantage of man above the beast is nothing, for the whole is vanity. Eccl. 3:19
- The whole are going unto one place, the whole have been from the dust, and the whole are turning back unto the dust. Eccl. 3:20
- Who knoweth the spirit of the sons of man that is going up on high, and the spirit of the beast that is going down below to the earth? Eccl. 3:21
- And I have turned, and I see all the oppressions that are done under the sun, and lo, the tear of the oppressed, and they have no comforter; and at the hand of their oppressors is power, and they have no comforter. Eccl. 4:1
- And I am praising the dead who have already died above the living who are yet alive. Eccl. 4:2
- And better than both of them is he who hath not yet been, in that he hath not seen the evil work that hath been done under the sun. Eccl. 4:3
- And I have seen all the labour, and all the benefit of the work, because for it a man is the envy of his neighbour. Even this is vanity and vexation of spirit. Eccl. 4:4
- The fool is clasping his hands, and eating his own flesh: Eccl. 4:5
- And I have turned, and I see a vain thing under the sun: Eccl. 4:7
- The two are better than the one, in that they have a good reward by their labour. Eccl. 4:9
- For if they fall, the one raiseth up his companion, but wo to the one who falleth and there is not a second to raise him up! Eccl. 4:10
- And if the one strengthen himself, the two stand against him; and the threefold cord is not hastily broken. Eccl. 4:12
- I have seen all the living, who are walking under the sun, with the second youth who doth stand in his place; Eccl. 4:15
- there is no end to all the people, to all who were before them; also, the latter rejoice not in him. Surely this also is vanity and vexation of spirit. Eccl. 4:16
- Keep thy feet when thou goest unto a house of God, and draw near to hear rather than to give of fools the sacrifice, for they do not know they do evil. Eccl. 5:1
- Cause not thy mouth to hasten, and let not thy heart hasten to bring out a word before God, for God is in the heavens, and thou on the earth, therefore let thy words be few. Eccl. 5:2
- For the dream hath come by abundance of business, and the voice of a fool by abundance of words. Eccl. 5:3
- Suffer not thy mouth to cause thy flesh to sin, nor say before the messenger, that `it is an error,' why is God wroth because of thy voice, and hath destroyed the work of thy hands? Eccl. 5:6
- For, in the abundance of dreams both vanities and words abound; but fear thou God. Eccl. 5:7
- If oppression of the poor, and violent taking away of judgment and righteousness thou seest in a province, do not marvel at the matter, for a higher than the high is observing, and high ones are over them. Eccl. 5:8
- And the abundance of a land is for all. A king for a field is served. Eccl. 5:9
- In the multiplying of good have its consumers been multiplied, and what benefit is to its possessor except the sight of his eyes? Eccl. 5:11
- Sweet is the sleep of the labourer whether he eat little or much; and the sufficiency of the wealthy is not suffering him to sleep. Eccl. 5:12
- There is a painful evil I have seen under the sun: wealth kept for its possessor, for his evil. Eccl. 5:13
- As he came out from the belly of his mother, naked he turneth back to go as he came, and he taketh not away anything of his labour, that doth go in his hand. Eccl. 5:15
- Lo, that which I have seen: It is good, because beautiful, to eat, and to drink, and to see good in all one's labour that he laboureth at under the sun, the number of the days of his life that God hath given to him, for it is his portion. Eccl. 5:18
- For he doth not much remember the days of his life, for God is answering through the joy of his heart. Eccl. 5:20
- There is an evil that I have seen under the sun, and it is great on man: Eccl. 6:1
- If a man doth beget a hundred, and live many years, and is great, because they are the days of his years, and his soul is not satisfied from the goodness, and also he hath not had a grave, I have said, `Better than he is the untimely birth.' Eccl. 6:3
- Even the sun he hath not seen nor known, more rest hath this than that. Eccl. 6:5
- And though he had lived a thousand years twice over, yet good he hath not seen; to the same place doth not every one go? Eccl. 6:6
- All the labour of man is for his mouth, and yet the soul is not filled. Eccl. 6:7
- For what advantage is to the wise above the fool? What to the poor who knoweth to walk before the living? Eccl. 6:8
- Better is the sight of the eyes than the going of the soul. This also is vanity and vexation of spirit. Eccl. 6:9
- For who knoweth what is good for a man in life, the number of the days of the life of his vanity, and he maketh them as a shadow? for who declareth to man what is after him under the sun? Eccl. 6:12
- Better is a name than good perfume, And the day of death than the day of birth. Eccl. 7:1
- Better to go unto a house of mourning, Than to go unto a house of banqueting, For that is the end of all men, And the living layeth it unto his heart. Eccl. 7:2
- Better is sorrow than laughter, For by the sadness of the face the heart becometh better. Eccl. 7:3
- The heart of the wise is in a house of mourning, And the heart of fools in a house of mirth. Eccl. 7:4
- For as the noise of thorns under the pot, So is the laughter of a fool, even this is vanity. Eccl. 7:6
- Surely oppression maketh the wise mad, And a gift destroyeth the heart. Eccl. 7:7
- Better is the latter end of a thing than its beginning, Better is the patient of spirit, than the haughty of spirit. Eccl. 7:8
- Be not hasty in thy spirit to be angry, For anger in the bosom of fools resteth. Eccl. 7:9
- Say not thou, `What was it, That the former days were better than these?' For thou hast not asked wisely of this. Eccl. 7:10
- Wisdom is good with an inheritance, And an advantage it is to those beholding the sun. Eccl. 7:11
- For wisdom is a defense, money is a defence, And the advantage of the knowledge of wisdom is, She reviveth her possessors. Eccl. 7:12
- See the work of God, For who is able to make straight that which He made crooked? Eccl. 7:13
- In a day of prosperity be in gladness, And in a day of evil consider. Also this over-against that hath God made, To the intent that man doth not find anything after him. Eccl. 7:14
- The whole I have considered in the days of my vanity. There is a righteous one perishing in his righteousness, and there is a wrong-doer prolonging himself in his wrong. Eccl. 7:15
- The wisdom giveth strength to a wise man, more than wealth the rulers who have been in a city. Eccl. 7:19
- Also to all the words that they speak give not thy heart, that thou hear not thy servant reviling thee. Eccl. 7:21
- I have turned round, also my heart, to know and to search, and to seek out wisdom, and reason, and to know the wrong of folly, and of foolishness the madness. Eccl. 7:25
- And I am finding more bitter than death, the woman whose heart is nets and snares, her hands are bands; the good before God escapeth from her, but the sinner is captured by her. Eccl. 7:26
- See, this I have found, said the Preacher, one to one, to find out the reason Eccl. 7:27
- Who is as the wise? and who knoweth the interpretation of a thing? The wisdom of man causeth his face to shine, and the hardness of his face is changed. Eccl. 8:1
- I pray thee, the commandment of a king keep, even for the sake of the oath of God. Eccl. 8:2
- Where the word of a king is power is, and who saith to him, `What dost thou?' Eccl. 8:4
- Whoso is keeping a command knoweth no evil thing, and time and judgment the heart of the wise knoweth. Eccl. 8:5
- For to every delight there is a time and a judgment, for the misfortune of man is great upon him. Eccl. 8:6
- There is no man ruling over the spirit to restrain the spirit, and there is no authority over the day of death, and there is no discharge in battle, and wickedness delivereth not its possessors. Eccl. 8:8
- All this I have seen so as to give my heart to every work that hath been done under the sun; a time that man hath ruled over man to his own evil. Eccl. 8:9
- And so I have seen the wicked buried, and they went in, even from the Holy Place they go, and they are forgotten in the city whether they had so done. This also is vanity. Eccl. 8:10
- Because sentence hath not been done on an evil work speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of man is full within them to do evil. Eccl. 8:11
- And good is not to the wicked, and he doth not prolong days as a shadow, because he is not fearing before God. Eccl. 8:13
- There is a vanity that hath been done upon the earth, that there are righteous ones unto whom it is coming according to the work of the wicked, and there are wicked ones unto whom it is coming according to the work of the righteous. I have said that this also is vanity. Eccl. 8:14
- And I have praised mirth because there is no good to man under the sun except to eat and to drink, and to rejoice, and it remaineth with him of his labour the days of his life that God hath given to him under the sun. Eccl. 8:15
- When I gave my heart to know wisdom and to see the business that hath been done on the earth, (for there is also a spectator in whose eyes sleep is not by day and by night), Eccl. 8:16
- then I considered all the work of God, that man is not able to find out the work that hath been done under the sun, because though man labour to seek, yet he doth not find; and even though the wise man speak of knowing he is not able to find. Eccl. 8:17
- But all this I have laid unto my heart, so as to clear up the whole of this, that the righteous and the wise, and their works, are in the hand of God, neither love nor hatred doth man know, the whole is before them. Eccl. 9:1
- The whole is as to the whole; one event is to the righteous and to the wicked, to the good, and to the clean, and to the unclean, and to him who is sacrificing, and to him who is not sacrificing; as is the good, so is the sinner, he who is swearing as he who is fearing an oath. Eccl. 9:2
- This is an evil among all that hath been done under the sun, that one event is to all, and also the heart of the sons of man is full of evil, and madness is in their heart during their life, and after it -- unto the dead. Eccl. 9:3
- But to him who is joined unto all the living there is confidence, for to a living dog it is better than to the dead lion. Eccl. 9:4
- For the living know that they die, and the dead know not anything, and there is no more to them a reward, for their remembrance hath been forgotten. Eccl. 9:5
- Their love also, their hatred also, their envy also, hath already perished, and they have no more a portion to the age in all that hath been done under the sun. Eccl. 9:6
- See life with the wife whom thou hast loved, all the days of the life of thy vanity, that He hath given to thee under the sun, all the days of thy vanity, for it is thy portion in life, even of thy labour that thou art labouring at under the sun. Eccl. 9:9
- I have turned so as to see under the sun, that not to the swift is the race, nor to the mighty the battle, nor even to the wise bread, nor even to the intelligent wealth, nor even to the skilful grace, for time and chance happen with them all. Eccl. 9:11
- For even man knoweth not his time; as fish that are taken hold of by an evil net, and as birds that are taken hold of by a snare, like these are the sons of man snared at an evil time, when it falleth upon them suddenly. Eccl. 9:12
- This also I have seen: wisdom under the sun, and it is great to me. Eccl. 9:13
- and there hath been found in it a poor wise man, and he hath delivered the city by his wisdom, and men have not remembered that poor man! Eccl. 9:15
- And I said, `Better is wisdom than might, and the wisdom of the poor is despised, and his words are not heard.' -- Eccl. 9:16
- The words of the wise in quiet are heard, More than the cry of a ruler over fools. Eccl. 9:17
- Dead flies cause a perfumer's perfume To send forth a stink; The precious by reason of wisdom -- By reason of honour -- a little folly! Eccl. 10:1
- The heart of the wise is at his right hand, And the heart of a fool at his left. Eccl. 10:2
- And also, when he that is a fool Is walking in the way, his heart is lacking, And he hath said to every one, `He is a fool.' Eccl. 10:3

- then broken small together have been the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold, and they have been as chaff from the summer threshing-floor, and carried them away hath the wind, and no place hath been found for them: and the stone that smote the image hath become a great mountain, and hath filled all the land. Dan. 2:35
- This is the dream, and its interpretation we do tell before the king. Dan. 2:36
- `Thou, O king, art a king of kings, for the God of the heavens a kingdom, strength, and might, and glory, hath given to thee; Dan. 2:37
- and whithersoever sons of men are dwelling, the beast of the field, and the fowl of the heavens, He hath given into thy hand, and hath caused thee to rule over them all; thou art this head of gold. Dan. 2:38
- And after thee doth rise up another kingdom lower than those, and another third kingdom of brass, that doth rule overall the earth. Dan. 2:39
- And the fourth kingdom is strong as iron, because that iron is breaking small, and making feeble, all things, even as iron that is breaking all these, it beateth small and breaketh. Dan. 2:40
- As to that which thou hast seen: the feet and toes, part of them potter's clay, and part of them iron, the kingdom is divided: and some of the standing of the iron is to be in it, because that thou hast seen the iron mixed with miry clay. Dan. 2:41
- As to the toes of the feet, part of them iron, and part of them clay: some part of the kingdom is strong, and some part of it is brittle. Dan. 2:42
- Because thou hast seen iron mixed with miry clay, they are mixing themselves with the seed of men: and they are not adhering one with another, even as iron is not mixed with clay. Dan. 2:43
- `And in the days of these kings raise up doth the God of the heavens a kingdom that is not destroyed -- to the age, and its kingdom to another people is not left: it beateth small and endeth all these kingdoms, and it standeth to the age. Dan. 2:44
- Because that thou hast seen that out of the mountain cut hath been a stone without hands, and it hath beaten small the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver, and the gold; the great God hath made known to the king that which is to be after this; and the dream is true, and its interpretation stedfast. Dan. 2:45
- The king hath answered Daniel and said, `Of a truth it is that your God is a God of gods, and a Lord of kings, and a revealer of secrets, since thou hast been able to reveal this secret.' Dan. 2:47
- Then the king hath made Daniel great, and many great gifts he hath given to him, and hath caused him to rule over all the province of Babylon, and chief of the perfects over all the wise men of Babylon. Dan. 2:48
- And Daniel hath sought from the king, and he hath appointed over the work of the province of Babylon, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, and Daniel is in the gate of the king. Dan. 2:49
- Nebuchadnezzar the king hath made an image of gold, its height sixty cubits, its breadth six cubits; he hath raised it up in the valley of Dura, in the province of Babylon; Dan. 3:1
- and Nebuchadnezzar the king hath sent to gather the satraps, the prefects, and the governors, the honourable judges, the treasurers, the counsellors, the sheriffs, and all the rulers of the province, to come to the dedication of the image that Nebuchadnezzar the king hath raised up. Dan. 3:2
- Then are gathered the satraps, the prefects, and the governors, the honourable judges, the treasurers, the counsellors, the sheriffs, and all the rulers of the province, to the dedication of the image that Nebuchadnezzar the king hath raised up: and they are standing before the image that Nebuchadnezzar hath raised up. Dan. 3:3
- at the time that ye hear the voice of the cornet, the flute, the harp, the sackbut, the psaltery, the symphony, and all kinds of music, ye fall down and do obeisance to the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king hath raised up: Dan. 3:5
- and whoso doth not fall down and do obeisance, in that hour he is cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace.' Dan. 3:6
- Therefore at that time, when all the peoples are hearing the voice of the cornet, the flute, the harp, the sackbut, the psaltery, and all kinds of music, falling down are all the peoples, nations and languages, doing obeisance to the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king hath raised up. Dan. 3:7
- Therefore at that time drawn near have certain Chaldeans, and accused the Jews; Dan. 3:8
- they have answered, yea, they are saying to Nebuchadnezzar the king, `O king, to the ages live! Dan. 3:9
- Thou, O king, hast made a decree that every man who doth hear the voice of the cornet, the flute, the harp, the sackbut, the psaltery, and the symphony, and all kinds of music, doth fall down and do obeisance to the golden image; Dan. 3:10
- and whoso doth not fall down and do obeisance, is cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace. Dan. 3:11
- There are certain Jews whom thou hast appointed over the work of the province of Babylon -- Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, these men have not made of thee, O king, any regard; thy gods they are not serving, and to the golden image thou hast raised up -- are not making obeisance.' Dan. 3:12
- Then Nebuchadnezzar, in anger and fury, hath said to bring in Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego. Then these men have been brought in before the king. Dan. 3:13
- Nebuchadnezzar hath answered and said to them, `Is it a laid plan, O Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego -- my gods ye are not serving, and to the golden image that I have raised up ye are not doing obeisance? Dan. 3:14
- Now, lo, ye are ready, so that at the time that ye hear the voice of the cornet, the flute, the harp, the sackbut, the psaltery, and the symphony, and all kinds of music, ye fall down and do obeisance to the image that I have made! -- and lo, ye do no obeisance -- in that hour ye are cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace; who is that God who doth deliver you out of my hands?' Dan. 3:15
- Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego have answered, yea, they are saying to the king Nebuchadnezzar, `We have no need concerning this matter to answer thee. Dan. 3:16
- And lo -- not! be it known to thee, O king, that thy gods we are not serving, and to the golden image thou hast raised up we do no obeisance.' Dan. 3:18
- Then Nebuchadnezzar hath been full of fury, and the expression of his face hath been changed concerning Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego; he answered and said to heat the furnace seven times above that which it is seen to be heated; Dan. 3:19
- and to certain mighty men who are in his force he hath said to bind Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, to cast into the burning fiery furnace. Dan. 3:20
- Then these men have been bound in their coats, their tunics, and their turbans, and their clothing, and have been cast into the midst of the burning fiery furnace. Dan. 3:21
- Therefore, because that the word of the king is urgent, and the furnace heated exceedingly, those men who have taken up Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego -- killed them hath the spark of the fire. Dan. 3:22
- And these three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, have fallen down in the midst of the burning fiery furnace -- bound. Dan. 3:23
- Then Nebuchadnezzar the king hath been astonished, and hath risen in haste; he hath answered and said to his counsellors, `Have we not cast three men into the midst of the fire -- bound?' They have answered and are saying to the king, `Certainly, O king.' Dan. 3:24
- He answered and hath said, `Lo, I am seeing four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they have no hurt; and the appearance of the fourth is like to a son of the gods.' Dan. 3:25
- Then Nebuchadnezzar hath drawn near to the gate of the burning fiery furnace; he hath answered and said, `Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, servants of God Most High come forth, yea, come;' then come forth do Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, from the midst of the fire; Dan. 3:26
- and gathered together, the satraps, the prefects, and the governors, and the counsellors of the king, are seeing these men, that the fire hath no power over their bodies, and the hair of their head hath not been singed, and their coats have not changed, and the smell of fire hath not passed on them. Dan. 3:27
- Nebuchadnezzar hath answered and hath said, `Blessed is the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, who hath sent His messenger, and hath delivered His servants who trusted on Him, and the word of the king changed, and gave up their bodies that they might not serve nor do obeisance to any god except to their own God. Dan. 3:28
- And by me a decree is made, that any people, nation, and language, that doth speak erroneously concerning the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, pieces he is made, and its house is made a dunghill, because that there is no other god who is able thus to deliver.' Dan. 3:29
- Then the king hath caused Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, to prosper in the province of Babylon. Dan. 3:30
- `Nebuchadnezzar the king to all peoples, nations, and languages, who are dwelling in all the earth: Your peace be great! Dan. 4:1
- The signs and wonders that God Most High hath done with me, it is good before me to shew. Dan. 4:2
- a dream I have seen, and it maketh me afraid, and the conceptions on my bed, and the visions of my head, do trouble me. Dan. 4:5
- And by me a decree is made, to cause all the wise men of Babylon to come up before me, that the interpretation of the dream they may cause me to know. Dan. 4:6
- Then coming up are the scribes, the enchanters, the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers, and the dream I have told before them, and its interpretation they are not making known to me. Dan. 4:7
- And at last come up before me hath Daniel, whose name is Belteshazzar -- according to the name of my god -- and in whom is the spirit of the holy gods, and the dream before him I have told: Dan. 4:8
- `O Belteshazzar, master of the scribes, as I have known that the spirit of the holy gods is in thee, and no secret doth press thee, the visions of my dream that I have seen, and its interpretation, tell. Dan. 4:9
- As to the visions of my head on my bed, I was looking, and lo, a tree in the midst of the earth, and its height is great: Dan. 4:10
- become great hath the tree, yea, strong, and its height doth reach to the heavens, and its vision to the end of the whole land; Dan. 4:11
- its leaves are fair, and its budding great, and food for all is in it: under it take shade doth the beast of the field, and in its boughs dwell do the birds of the heavens, and of it fed are all flesh. Dan. 4:12
- `I was looking, in the visions of my head on my bed, and lo, a sifter, even a holy one, from the heavens is coming down. Dan. 4:13
- He is calling mightily, and thus hath said, Cut down the tree, and cut off its branches, shake off its leaves, and scatter its budding, move away let the beast from under it, and the birds from off its branches; Dan. 4:14
- but the stump of its roots leave in the earth, even with a band of iron and brass, in the tender grass of the field, and with the dew of the heavens is it wet, and with the beasts is his portion in the herb of the earth; Dan. 4:15
- his heart from man's is changed, and the heart of a beast is given to him, and seven times pass over him; Dan. 4:16
- by the decree of the sifters is the sentence, and by the saying of the holy ones the requirement, to the intent that the living may know that the Most High is ruler in the kingdom of men, and to whom He willeth He giveth it, and the lowest of men He doth raise up over it. Dan. 4:17
- `This dream I have seen, I king Nebuchadnezzar; and thou, O Belteshazzar, the interpretation tell, because that all the wise men of my kingdom are not able to cause me to know the interpretation, and thou art able, for the spirit of the holy gods is in thee. Dan. 4:18
- `Then Daniel, whose name is Belteshazzar, hath been astonished about one hour, and his thoughts do trouble him; the king hath answered and said, O Belteshazzar, let not the dream and its interpretation trouble thee. Belteshazzar hath answered and said, My lord, the dream -- to those hating thee, and its interpretation -- to thine enemies! Dan. 4:19
- The tree that thou hast seen, that hath become great and strong, and its height doth reach to the heavens, and its vision to all the land, Dan. 4:20
- and its leaves are fair, and its budding great, and food for all is in it, under it dwell doth the beast of the field, and on its boughs sit do the birds of the heavens. Dan. 4:21
- `Thou it is, O king, for thou hast become great and mighty, and thy greatness hath become great, and hath reached to the heavens, and thy dominion to the end of the earth; Dan. 4:22
- and that which the king hath seen -- a sifter, even a holy one, coming down from the heavens, and he hath said, Cut down the tree, and destroy it; but the stump of its roots leave in the earth, even with a band of iron and brass, in the tender grass of the field, and with the dew of the heavens it is wet, and with the beast of the field is his portion, till that seven times pass over him. Dan. 4:23
- `This is the interpretation, O king, and the decree of the Most High it is that hath come against my lord the king: Dan. 4:24
- and they are driving thee away from men, and with the beast of the field is thy dwelling, and the herb as oxen they do cause thee to eat, and by the dew of the heavens they are wetting thee, and seven times do pass over thee, till that thou knowest that the Most High is ruler in the kingdom of men, and to whom He willeth He giveth it. Dan. 4:25
- And that which they said -- to leave the stump of the roots of the tree; thy kingdom for thee abideth, after that thou knowest that the heavens are ruling. Dan. 4:26
- `Therefore, O king, let my counsel be acceptable unto thee, and thy sins by righteousness break off, and thy perversity by pitying the poor, lo, it is a lengthening of thine ease. Dan. 4:27
- `All -- hath come on Nebuchadnezzar the king. Dan. 4:28
- `At the end of twelve months, on the palace of the kingdom of Babylon he hath been walking; Dan. 4:29
- the king hath answered and said, Is not this that great Babylon that I have built, for the house of the kingdom, in the might of my strength, and for the glory of mine honour? Dan. 4:30
- `While the word is in the king's mouth a voice from the heavens hath fallen: To thee they are saying: O Nebuchadnezzar the king, the kingdom hath passed from thee, Dan. 4:31
- and from men they are driving thee away, and with the beast of the field is thy dwelling, the herb as oxen they do cause thee to eat, and seven times do pass over thee, till that thou knowest that the Most High is ruler in the kingdom of men, and to whom He willeth He giveth it. Dan. 4:32
- `In that hour the thing hath been fulfilled on Nebuchadnezzar, and from men he is driven, and the herb as oxen he eateth, and by the dew of the heavens his body is wet, till that his hair as eagles' hath become great, and his nails as birds.' Dan. 4:33
- `And at the end of the days I, Nebuchadnezzar, mine eyes to the heavens have lifted up, and mine understanding unto me returneth, and the Most High I have blessed, and the Age-during Living One I have praised and honoured, whose dominion is a dominion age-during, and His kingdom with generation and generation; Dan. 4:34
- and all who are dwelling on the earth as nothing are reckoned, and according to his will He is doing among the forces of the heavens and those dwelling on the earth, and there is none that doth clap with his hand, and saith to Him, What hast Thou done? Dan. 4:35
- `At that time my understanding doth return unto me, and for the glory of my kingdom, my honour and my brightness doth return unto me, and to me my counsellors and my great men do seek, and over my kingdom I have been made right, and abundant greatness hath been added to me. Dan. 4:36
- `Now, I, Nebuchadnezzar, am praising and exalting and honouring the King of the heavens, for all His works are truth, and His paths judgment, and those walking in pride He is able to humble.' Dan. 4:37
- Belshazzar the king hath made a great feast to a thousand of his great men, and before the thousand he is drinking wine; Dan. 5:1
- Belshazzar hath said -- while tasting the wine -- to bring in the vessels of gold and of silver that Nebuchadnezzar his father had taken from the temple that is in Jerusalem, that drink with them may the king, and his great men, his wives, and his concubines. Dan. 5:2
- Then they have brought in the vessels of gold that had been taken out of the temple of the house of God that is in Jerusalem, and drunk with them have the king and his great men, his wives and his concubines; Dan. 5:3
- they have drunk wine, and have praised the gods of gold, and of silver, of brass, of iron, of wood, and of stone. Dan. 5:4
- In that hour come forth have fingers of a man's hand, and they are writing over-against the candlestick, on the plaster of the wall of the king's palace: and the king is seeing the extremity of the hand that is writing; Dan. 5:5
- then the king's countenance hath changed, and his thoughts do trouble him, and the joints of his loins are loosed, and his knees are smiting one against another. Dan. 5:6
- Call doth the king mightily, to bring up the enchanters, the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers. Answered hath the king, and said to the wise men of Babylon, that, `Any man who doth read this writing, and its interpretation doth shew me, purple he putteth on, and a bracelet of gold is on his neck, and third in the kingdom he doth rule.' Dan. 5:7
- Then coming up are all the wise men of the king, and they are not able to read the writing, and the interpretation to make known to the king; Dan. 5:8
- then the king Belshazzar is greatly troubled, and his countenance is changing in him, and his great men are perplexed. Dan. 5:9
- The queen, on account of the words of the king and his great men, to the banquet-house hath come up. Answered hath the queen, and said, `O king, to the ages live; let not thy thoughts trouble thee, nor thy countenance be changed: Dan. 5:10
- there is a man in thy kingdom in whom is the spirit of the holy gods: and, in the days of thy father, light, and understanding, and wisdom -- as the wisdom of the gods -- was found in him; and king Nebuchadnezzar thy father, chief of the scribes, enchanters, Chaldeans, soothsayers, established him -- thy father, O king -- Dan. 5:11
- because that an excellent spirit, and knowledge, and understanding, interpreting of dreams, and showing of enigmas, and loosing of knots was found in him, in Daniel, whose name the king made Belteshazzar: now let Daniel be called, and the interpretation he doth show.' Dan. 5:12
- Then Daniel hath been caused to come up before the king; answered hath the king, and said to Daniel, `Thou art that Daniel who art of the sons of the Removed of Judah, whom the king my father brought in out of Judah? Dan. 5:13
- And I have heard of thee, that the spirit of the gods is in thee, and light, and understanding, and excellent wisdom have been found in thee. Dan. 5:14
- `And now, caused to come up before me have been the wise men, the enchanters, that this writing they may read, and its interpretation to cause me to know: and they are not able to shew the interpretation of the thing: Dan. 5:15
- and I -- I have heard of thee, that thou art able to give interpretations, and to loose knots: now, lo -- thou art able to read the writing, and its interpretation to cause me to know -- purple thou dost put on, and a bracelet of gold is on thy neck, and third in the kingdom thou dost rule.' Dan. 5:16
- Then hath Daniel answered and said before the king, `Thy gifts be to thyself, and thy fee to another give; nevertheless, the writing I do read to the king, and the interpretation I cause him to know; Dan. 5:17
- and because of the greatness that He gave to him, all peoples, nations, and languages were trembling and fearing before him: whom he willed he was slaying, and whom he willed he was keeping alive, and whom he willed he was raising up, and whom he willed he was making low; Dan. 5:19
- and when his heart was high, and his spirit was strong to act proudly, he hath been caused to come down from the throne of his kingdom, and his glory they have caused to pass away from him, Dan. 5:20
- and from the sons of men he is driven, and his heart with the beasts hath been like, and with the wild asses is his dwelling; the herb like oxen they cause him to eat, and by the dew of the heavens is his body wet, till that he hath known that God Most High is ruler in the kingdom of men, and whom He willeth He raiseth up over it. Dan. 5:21
- and against the Lord of the heavens thou hast lifted up thyself; and the vessels of His house they have brought in before thee, and thou, and thy great men, thy wives, and thy concubines, are drinking wine with them, and gods of silver, and of gold, of brass, of iron, of wood, and of stone, that are not seeing, nor hearing, nor knowing, thou hast praised: and the God in whose hand is thy breath, and all thy ways, Him thou hast not honoured. Dan. 5:23
- `Then from before Him sent is the extremity of the hand, and the writing is noted down; Dan. 5:24
- and this is the writing that is noted down: Numbered, Numbered, Weighed, and Divided. Dan. 5:25
- This is the interpretation of the thing: Numbered -- God hath numbered thy kingdom, and hath finished it. Dan. 5:26
- Weighed -- Thou art weighed in the balances, and hast been found lacking. Dan. 5:27
- Divided -- Divided is thy kingdom, and it hath been given to the Medes and Persians.' Dan. 5:28
- Then hath Belshazzar said, and they have clothed Daniel with purple, and a bracelet of gold is on his neck, and they have proclaimed concerning him that he is the third ruler in the kingdom. Dan. 5:29
- In that night Belshazzar king of the Chaldeans is slain, Dan. 5:30
- and Darius the Mede hath received the kingdom, when a son of sixty and two years. Dan. 5:31
- It hath been good before Darius, and he hath established over the kingdom satraps -- a hundred and twenty -- that they may be throughout the whole kingdom, Dan. 6:1
- and higher than they three presidents, of whom Daniel is first, that these satraps may give to them an account, and the king have no loss. Dan. 6:2
- Then this Daniel hath been overseer over the presidents and satraps, because that an excellent spirit is in him, and the king hath thought to establish him over the whole kingdom. Dan. 6:3
- Then the presidents and satraps have been seeking to find a cause of complaint against Daniel concerning the kingdom, and any cause of complaint and corruption they are not able to find, because that he is faithful, and any error and corruption have not been found in him. Dan. 6:4
- Then these men are saying, `We do not find against this Daniel any cause of complaint, except we have found it against him in the law of his God.' Dan. 6:5
- Then these presidents and satraps have assembled near the king, and thus they are saying to him: `O king Darius, to the ages live! Dan. 6:6
- Taken counsel have all the presidents of the kingdom, the prefects, and the satraps, the counsellors, and the governors, to establish a royal statute, and to strengthen an interdict, that any who seeketh a petition from any god and man until thirty days, save of thee, O king, is cast into a den of lions. Dan. 6:7
- Now, O king, thou dost establish the interdict, and sign the writing, that it is not to be changed, as a law of Media and Persia, that doth not pass away.' Dan. 6:8
- Therefore king Darius hath signed the writing and interdict. Dan. 6:9
- And Daniel, when he hath known that the writing is signed, hath gone up to his house, and the window being opened for him, in his upper chamber, over-against Jerusalem, three times in a day he is kneeling on his knees, and praying, and confessing before his God, because that he was doing it before this. Dan. 6:10
- then they have come near, yea, they are saying before the king concerning the king's interdict: `Hast thou not signed an interdict, that any man who seeketh from any god and man until thirty days, save of thee, O king, is cast into a den of lions?' Answered hath the king, and said, `The thing is certain as a law of Media and Persia, that doth not pass away.' Dan. 6:12
- Then they have answered, yea, they are saying before the king, that, `Daniel, who is of the sons of the Removed of Judah, hath not placed on thee, O king, any regard, nor on the interdict that thou hast signed, and three times in a day he is seeking his petition.' Dan. 6:13
- Then the king, when he hath heard the matter, is greatly displeased at himself, and on Daniel he hath set the heart to deliver him, and till the going up of the sun he was arranging to deliver him. Dan. 6:14
- Then these men have assembled near the king, and are saying to the king, `know, O king, that the law of Media and Persia is: That any interdict and statute that the king doth establish is not to be changed.' Dan. 6:15
- Then the king hath said, and they have brought Daniel, and have cast him into a den of lions. The king hath answered and said to Daniel, `Thy God, whom thou art serving continually, Himself doth deliver thee.' Dan. 6:16
- And a stone hath been brought and placed at the mouth of the den, and the king hath sealed it with his signet, and with the signet of his great men, that the purpose be not changed concerning Daniel. Dan. 6:17
- Then hath the king gone to his palace, and he hath passed the night fasting, and dahavan have not been brought up before him, and his sleep hath fled from off him. Dan. 6:18
- Then doth the king rise in the early morning, at the light, and in haste to the den of lions he hath gone; Dan. 6:19
- and at his coming near to the den, to Daniel, with a grieved voice, he crieth. The king hath answered and said to Daniel, O Daniel, servant of the living God, thy God, whom thou art serving continually, is He able to deliver thee from the lions?' Dan. 6:20
- Then Daniel hath spoken with the king: `O king, to the ages live: Dan. 6:21
- my God hath sent His messenger, and hath shut the lions' mouths, and they have not injured me: because that before Him purity hath been found in me; and also before thee, O king, injury I have not done.' Dan. 6:22
- Then was the king very glad for him, and he hath commanded Daniel to be taken up out of the den, and Daniel hath been taken up out of the den, and no injury hath been found in him, because he hath believed in his God. Dan. 6:23
- And the king hath said, and they have brought those men who had accused Daniel, and to the den of lions they have cast them, they, their sons, and their wives; and they have not come to the lower part of the den till that the lions have power over them, and all their bones they have broken small. Dan. 6:24
- Then Darius the king hath written to all the peoples, nations, and languages, who are dwelling in all the land: `Your peace be great! Dan. 6:25
- From before me is made a decree, that in every dominion of my kingdom they are trembling and fearing before the God of Daniel, for He is the living God, and abiding to the ages, and His kingdom that which is not destroyed, and His dominion is unto the end. Dan. 6:26
- A deliverer, and rescuer, and doer of signs and wonders in the heavens and in earth is He who hath delivered Daniel from the paw of the lions.' Dan. 6:27
- And this Daniel hath prospered in the reign of Darius, and in the reign of Cyrus the Persian. Dan. 6:28
- In the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon, Daniel hath seen a dream, and the visions of his head on his bed, then the dream he hath written, the chief of the things he hath said. Dan. 7:1
- Answered hath Daniel and said, `I was seeing in my vision by night, and lo, the four winds of the heavens are coming forth to the great sea; Dan. 7:2
- and four great beasts are coming up from the sea, diverse one from another. Dan. 7:3
- The first is like a lion, and it hath an eagle's wings. I was seeing till that its wings have been plucked, and it hath been lifted up from the earth, and on feet as a man it hath been caused to stand, and a heart of man is given to it. Dan. 7:4
- And lo, another beast, a second, like to a bear, and to the same authority it hath been raised, and three ribs are in its mouth, between its teeth, and thus they are saying to it, Rise, consume much flesh. Dan. 7:5
- `After this I was seeing, and lo, another like a leopard, and it hath four wings of a fowl on its back, and four heads hath the beast, and dominion is given to it. Dan. 7:6
- `After this I was seeing in the visions of the night, and lo, a fourth beast, terrible and fearful, and exceedingly strong; and it hath iron teeth very great, it hath consumed, yea, it doth break small, and the remnant with its feet it hath trampled; and it is diverse from all the beasts that are before it; and it hath ten horns. Dan. 7:7
- `I was considering about the horns, and lo, another horn, a little one, hath come up between them, and three of the first horns have been eradicated from before it, and lo, eyes as the eyes of man are in this horn, and a mouth speaking great things. Dan. 7:8

- For the lips of a priest preserve knowledge, And law they do seek from his mouth, For a messenger of Jehovah of Hosts he is. Mal. 2:7
- And ye, ye have turned from the way, Ye have caused many to stumble in the law, Ye have corrupted the covenant of Levi, Said Jehovah of Hosts. Mal. 2:8
- And I also, I have made you despised and low before all the people, Because ye are not keeping My ways, And are accepting persons in the law. Mal. 2:9
- Have we not all one father? Hath not our God prepared us? Wherefore do we deal treacherously, Each against his brother, To pollute the covenant of our fathers? Mal. 2:10
- Dealt treacherously hath Judah, And abomination hath been done in Israel, and in Jerusalem, For polluted hath Judah the holy thing of Jehovah, That He hath loved, and hath married the daughter of a strange god. Mal. 2:11
- Cut off doth Jehovah the man who doth it, Tempter and tempted -- from the tents of Jacob, Even he who is bringing nigh a present to Jehovah of Hosts. Mal. 2:12
- And this a second time ye do, Covering with tears the altar of Jehovah, With weeping and groaning, Because there is no more turning unto the present, Or receiving of a pleasing thing from your hand. Mal. 2:13
- And ye have said, `Wherefore?' Because Jehovah hath testified between thee And the wife of thy youth, That thou hast dealt treacherously against her, And she thy companion, and thy covenant-wife. Mal. 2:14
- And He did not make one only, And He hath the remnant of the Spirit. And what is the one alone! He is seeking a godly seed. And ye have been watchful over your spirit, And with the wife of thy youth, None doth deal treacherously. Mal. 2:15
- Ye have wearied Jehovah with your words, And ye have said: `In what have we wearied Him?' In your saying: `Every evil-doer is good in the eyes of Jehovah, And in them He is delighting,' Or, `Where is the God of judgment?' Mal. 2:17
- Lo, I am sending My messenger, And he hath prepared a way before Me, And suddenly come in unto his temple Doth the Lord whom ye are seeking, Even the messenger of the covenant, Whom ye are desiring, Lo, he is coming, said Jehovah of Hosts. Mal. 3:1
- And who is bearing the day of his coming? And who is standing in his appearing? For he is as fire of a refiner, And as soap of a fuller. Mal. 3:2
- And he hath sat, a refiner and purifier of silver, And he hath purified the sons of Levi, And hath refined them as gold and as silver, And they have been to Jehovah bringing nigh a present in righteousness. Mal. 3:3
- And sweet to Jehovah hath been the present of Judah and Jerusalem, As in days of old, and as in former years. Mal. 3:4
- And I have drawn near to you for judgment, And I have been a witness, Making haste against sorcerers, And against adulterers, And against swearers to a falsehood, And against oppressors of the hire of an hireling, Of a widow, and of a fatherless one, And those turning aside a sojourner, And who fear Me not, said Jehovah of Hosts. Mal. 3:5
- For I am Jehovah, I have not changed, And ye, the sons of Jacob, Ye have not been consumed. Mal. 3:6
- Even from the days of your fathers Ye have turned aside from My statutes, And ye have not taken heed. Turn back unto Me, and I turn back to you, Said Jehovah of Hosts. And ye have said, `In what do we turn back?' Mal. 3:7
- Doth man deceive God? but ye are deceiving Me, And ye have said: `In what have we deceived Thee?' The tithe and the heave-offering! Mal. 3:8
- Bring in all the tithe unto the treasure-house, And there is food in My house; When ye have tried Me, now, with this, Said Jehovah of Hosts, Do not I open to you the windows of heaven? Yea, I have emptied on you a blessing till there is no space. Mal. 3:10

- And they have been to Me, said Jehovah of Hosts, In the day that I am appointing -- a peculiar treasure, And I have had pity on them, As one hath pity on his son who is serving him. Mal. 3:17
- And ye have turned back and considered, Between the righteous and the wicked, Between the servant of God and him who is not His servant. Mal. 3:18
- For, lo, the day hath come, burning as a furnace, And all the proud, and every wicked doer, have been stubble, And burnt them hath the day that came, Said Jehovah of Hosts, That there is not left to them root or branch, Mal. 4:1
- And risen to you, ye who fear My name, Hath the sun of righteousness -- and healing in its wings, And ye have gone forth, and have increased as calves of a stall. Mal. 4:2

- A roll of the birth of Jesus Christ, son of David, son of Abraham. Mt. 1:1
- and Jesse begat David the king. And David the king begat Solomon, of her who had been Uriah's, Mt. 1:6
- and Josiah begat Jeconiah and his brethren, at the Babylonian removal. Mt. 1:11
- And after the Babylonian removal, Jeconiah begat Shealtiel, and Shealtiel begat Zerubbabel, Mt. 1:12
- and Jacob begat Joseph, the husband of Mary, of whom was begotten Jesus, who is named Christ. Mt. 1:16
- All the generations, therefore, from Abraham unto David are fourteen generations, and from David unto the Babylonian removal fourteen generations, and from the Babylonian removal unto the Christ, fourteen generations. Mt. 1:17
- And of Jesus Christ, the birth was thus: For his mother Mary having been betrothed to Joseph, before their coming together she was found to have conceived from the Holy Spirit, Mt. 1:18
- And on his thinking of these things, lo, a messenger of the Lord in a dream appeared to him, saying, `Joseph, son of David, thou mayest not fear to receive Mary thy wife, for that which in her was begotten is of the Holy Spirit, Mt. 1:20
- And all this hath come to pass, that it may be fulfilled that was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying, Mt. 1:22
- `Lo, the virgin shall conceive, and she shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel,' which is, being interpreted `With us he is God.' Mt. 1:23
- And Joseph, having risen from the sleep, did as the messenger of the Lord directed him, and received his wife, Mt. 1:24
- and did not know her till she brought forth her son -- the first-born, and he called his name Jesus. Mt. 1:25
- And Jesus having been born in Beth-Lehem of Judea, in the days of Herod the king, lo, mages from the east came to Jerusalem, Mt. 2:1
- saying, `Where is he who was born king of the Jews? for we saw his star in the east, and we came to bow to him.' Mt. 2:2
- And Herod the king having heard, was stirred, and all Jerusalem with him, Mt. 2:3
- and having gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he was inquiring from them where the Christ is born. Mt. 2:4
- And they said to him, `In Beth-Lehem of Judea, for thus it hath been written through the prophet, Mt. 2:5
- And thou, Beth-Lehem, the land of Judah, thou art by no means the least among the leaders of Judah, for out of thee shall come one leading, who shall feed My people Israel.' Mt. 2:6
- Then Herod, privately having called the mages, did inquire exactly from them the time of the appearing star, Mt. 2:7
- and having sent them to Beth-Lehem, he said, `Having gone -- inquire ye exactly for the child, and whenever ye may have found, bring me back word, that I also having come may bow to him.' Mt. 2:8
- And they, having heard the king, departed, and lo, the star, that they did see in the east, did go before them, till, having come, it stood over where the child was. Mt. 2:9
- And having seen the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy, Mt. 2:10
- and having come to the house, they found the child with Mary his mother, and having fallen down they bowed to him, and having opened their treasures, they presented to him gifts, gold, and frankincense, and myrrh, Mt. 2:11
- And on their having withdrawn, lo, a messenger of the Lord doth appear in a dream to Joseph, saying, `Having risen, take the child and his mother, and flee to Egypt, and be thou there till I may speak to thee, for Herod is about to seek the child to destroy him.' Mt. 2:13
- And he, having risen, took the child and his mother by night, and withdrew to Egypt, Mt. 2:14
- and he was there till the death of Herod, that it might be fulfilled that was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying, `Out of Egypt I did call My Son.' Mt. 2:15
- Then Herod, having seen that he was deceived by the mages, was very wroth, and having sent forth, he slew all the male children in Beth-Lehem, and in all its borders, from two years and under, according to the time that he inquired exactly from the mages. Mt. 2:16
- Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet, saying, Mt. 2:17
- And Herod having died, lo, a messenger of the Lord in a dream doth appear to Joseph in Egypt, Mt. 2:19
- saying, `Having risen, take the child and his mother, and be going to the land of Israel, for they have died -- those seeking the life of the child.' Mt. 2:20
- And he, having risen, took the child and his mother, and came to the land of Israel, Mt. 2:21
- and having heard that Archelaus doth reign over Judea instead of Herod his father, he was afraid to go thither, and having been divinely warned in a dream, he withdrew to the parts of Galilee, Mt. 2:22
- and coming, he dwelt in a city named Nazareth, that it might be fulfilled that was spoken through the prophets, that `A Nazarene he shall be called.' Mt. 2:23
- And in those days cometh John the Baptist, proclaiming in the wilderness of Judea, Mt. 3:1
- and saying, `Reform, for come nigh hath the reign of the heavens,' Mt. 3:2
- for this is he who was spoken of by Isaiah the prophet, saying, `A voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, straight make ye His paths.' Mt. 3:3
- And this John had his clothing of camel's hair, and a girdle of skin round his loins, and his nourishment was locusts and honey of the field. Mt. 3:4
- Then were going forth unto him Jerusalem, and all Judea, and all the region round about the Jordan, Mt. 3:5
- and they were baptized in the Jordan by him, confessing their sins. Mt. 3:6
- And having seen many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming about his baptism, he said to them, `Brood of vipers! who did shew you to flee from the coming wrath? Mt. 3:7
- bear, therefore, fruits worthy of the reformation, Mt. 3:8
- and now also, the axe unto the root of the trees is laid, every tree therefore not bearing good fruit is hewn down, and to fire is cast. Mt. 3:10
- `I indeed do baptize you with water to reformation, but he who after me is coming is mightier than I, of whom I am not worthy to bear the sandals, he shall baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire, Mt. 3:11
- whose fan is in his hand, and he will thoroughly cleanse his floor, and will gather his wheat to the storehouse, but the chaff he will burn with fire unquenchable.' Mt. 3:12
- Then cometh Jesus from Galilee upon the Jordan, unto John to be baptized by him, Mt. 3:13
- And having been baptized, Jesus went up immediately from the water, and lo, opened to him were the heavens, and he saw the Spirit of God descending as a dove, and coming upon him, Mt. 3:16
- and lo, a voice out of the heavens, saying, `This is My Son -- the Beloved, in whom I did delight.' Mt. 3:17
- Then Jesus was led up to the wilderness by the Spirit, to be tempted by the Devil, Mt. 4:1
- And the Tempter having come to him said, `If Son thou art of God -- speak that these stones may become loaves.' Mt. 4:3
- But he answering said, `It hath been written, Not upon bread alone doth man live, but upon every word coming forth from the mouth of God.' Mt. 4:4
- Then doth the Devil take him to the holy city, and doth set him on the pinnacle of the temple, Mt. 4:5
- Jesus said to him again, `It hath been written, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.' Mt. 4:7
- Again doth the Devil take him to a very high mount, and doth shew to him all the kingdoms of the world and the glory of them, Mt. 4:8
- Then saith Jesus to him, `Go -- Adversary, for it hath been written, The Lord thy God thou shalt bow to, and Him only thou shalt serve.' Mt. 4:10
- Then doth the Devil leave him, and lo, messengers came and were ministering to him. Mt. 4:11
- and having left Nazareth, having come, he dwelt at Capernaum that is by the sea, in the borders of Zebulun and Naphtalim, Mt. 4:13
- that it might be fulfilled that was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying, Mt. 4:14
- `Land of Zebulun and land of Naphtali, way of the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the nations! -- Mt. 4:15
- the people that is sitting in darkness saw a great light, and to those sitting in a region and shadow of death -- light arose to them.' Mt. 4:16
- From that time began Jesus to proclaim and to say, `Reform ye, for come nigh hath the reign of the heavens.' Mt. 4:17
- And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brothers, Simon named Peter and Andrew his brother, casting a drag into the sea -- for they were fishers -- Mt. 4:18
- and they, immediately, having left the nets, did follow him. Mt. 4:20
- And having advanced thence, he saw other two brothers, James of Zebedee, and John his brother, in the boat with Zebedee their father, refitting their nets, and he called them, Mt. 4:21
- and they, immediately, having left the boat and their father, did follow him. Mt. 4:22
- And Jesus was going about all Galilee teaching in their synagogues, and proclaiming the good news of the reign, and healing every disease, and every malady among the people, Mt. 4:23
- And there followed him many multitudes from Galilee, and Decapolis, and Jerusalem, and Judea, and beyond the Jordan. Mt. 4:25
- And having seen the multitudes, he went up to the mount, and he having sat down, his disciples came to him, Mt. 5:1
- `Happy the poor in spirit -- because theirs is the reign of the heavens. Mt. 5:3
- `Happy the mourning -- because they shall be comforted. Mt. 5:4
- `Happy the meek -- because they shall inherit the land. Mt. 5:5
- `Happy the kind -- because they shall find kindness. Mt. 5:7
- `Happy the clean in heart -- because they shall see God. Mt. 5:8
- `Happy the peacemakers -- because they shall be called Sons of God. Mt. 5:9
- `Happy those persecuted for righteousness' sake -- because theirs is the reign of the heavens. Mt. 5:10
- rejoice ye and be glad, because your reward is great in the heavens, for thus did they persecute the prophets who were before you. Mt. 5:12
- `Ye are the salt of the land, but if the salt may lose savour, in what shall it be salted? for nothing is it good henceforth, except to be cast without, and to be trodden down by men. Mt. 5:13
- `Ye are the light of the world, a city set upon a mount is not able to be hid; Mt. 5:14
- nor do they light a lamp, and put it under the measure, but on the lamp-stand, and it shineth to all those in the house; Mt. 5:15
- so let your light shine before men, that they may see your good works, and may glorify your Father who is in the heavens. Mt. 5:16
- `Do not suppose that I came to throw down the law or the prophets -- I did not come to throw down, but to fulfill; Mt. 5:17
- for, verily I say to you, till that the heaven and the earth may pass away, one iota or one tittle may not pass away from the law, till that all may come to pass. Mt. 5:18
- `Whoever therefore may loose one of these commands -- the least -- and may teach men so, least he shall be called in the reign of the heavens, but whoever may do and may teach them, he shall be called great in the reign of the heavens. Mt. 5:19
- `For I say to you, that if your righteousness may not abound above that of the scribes and Pharisees, ye may not enter to the reign of the heavens. Mt. 5:20
- `Ye heard that it was said to the ancients: Thou shalt not kill, and whoever may kill shall be in danger of the judgment; Mt. 5:21
- but I -- I say to you, that every one who is angry at his brother without cause, shall be in danger of the judgment, and whoever may say to his brother, Empty fellow! shall be in danger of the sanhedrim, and whoever may say, Rebel! shall be in danger of the gehenna of the fire. Mt. 5:22
- `If, therefore, thou mayest bring thy gift to the altar, and there mayest remember that thy brother hath anything against thee, Mt. 5:23
- leave there thy gift before the altar, and go -- first be reconciled to thy brother, and then having come bring thy gift. Mt. 5:24
- `Be agreeing with thy opponent quickly, while thou art in the way with him, that the opponent may not deliver thee to the judge, and the judge may deliver thee to the officer, and to prison thou mayest be cast, Mt. 5:25
- verily I say to thee, thou mayest not come forth thence till that thou mayest pay the last farthing. Mt. 5:26
- `Ye heard that it was said to the ancients: Thou shalt not commit adultery; Mt. 5:27
- but I -- I say to you, that whoever may put away his wife, save for the matter of whoredom, doth make her to commit adultery; and whoever may marry her who hath been put away doth commit adultery. Mt. 5:32
- `Again, ye heard that it was said to the ancients: Thou shalt not swear falsely, but thou shalt pay to the Lord thine oaths; Mt. 5:33
- but I -- I say to you, not to swear at all; neither by the heaven, because it is the throne of God, Mt. 5:34
- nor by the earth, because it is His footstool, nor by Jerusalem, because it is a city of a great king, Mt. 5:35
- but let your word be, Yes, Yes, No, No, and that which is more than these is of the evil. Mt. 5:37
- but I -- I say to you, not to resist the evil, but whoever shall slap thee on thy right cheek, turn to him also the other; Mt. 5:39
- and whoever is willing to take thee to law, and thy coat to take -- suffer to him also the cloak. Mt. 5:40
- that ye may be sons of your Father in the heavens, because His sun He doth cause to rise on evil and good, and He doth send rain on righteous and unrighteous. Mt. 5:45
- `For, if ye may love those loving you, what reward have ye? do not also the tax-gatherers the same? Mt. 5:46
- and if ye may salute your brethren only, what do ye abundant? do not also the tax-gatherers so? Mt. 5:47
- ye shall therefore be perfect, as your Father who is in the heavens is perfect. Mt. 5:48
- `Take heed your kindness not to do before men, to be seen by them, and if not -- reward ye have not from your Father who is in the heavens; Mt. 6:1
- whenever, therefore, thou mayest do kindness, thou mayest not sound a trumpet before thee as the hypocrites do, in the synagogues, and in the streets, that they may have glory from men; verily I say to you -- they have their reward! Mt. 6:2
- `And when thou mayest pray, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites, because they love in the synagogues, and in the corners of the broad places -- standing -- to pray, that they may be seen of men; verily I say to you, that they have their reward. Mt. 6:5
- `And -- praying -- ye may not use vain repetitions like the nations, for they think that in their much speaking they shall be heard, Mt. 6:7
- thus therefore pray ye: `Our Father who art in the heavens! hallowed be Thy name. Mt. 6:9
- `Thy reign come: Thy will come to pass, as in heaven also on the earth. Mt. 6:10
- `And mayest Thou not lead us to temptation, but deliver us from the evil, because Thine is the reign, and the power, and the glory -- to the ages. Amen. Mt. 6:13
- `For, if ye may forgive men their trespasses He also will forgive you -- your Father who is in the heavens; Mt. 6:14
- `And when ye may fast, be ye not as the hypocrites, of sour countenances, for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear to men fasting; verily I say to you, that they have their reward. Mt. 6:16
- `Treasure not up to yourselves treasures on the earth, where moth and rust disfigure, and where thieves break through and steal, Mt. 6:19
- `The lamp of the body is the eye, if, therefore, thine eye may be perfect, all thy body shall be enlightened, Mt. 6:22
- but if thine eye may be evil, all thy body shall be dark; if, therefore, the light that is in thee is darkness -- the darkness, how great! Mt. 6:23
- `None is able to serve two lords, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will hold to the one, and despise the other; ye are not able to serve God and Mammon. Mt. 6:24
- `Because of this I say to you, be not anxious for your life, what ye may eat, and what ye may drink, nor for your body, what ye may put on. Is not the life more than the nourishment, and the body than the clothing? Mt. 6:25
- look to the fowls of the heaven, for they do not sow, nor reap, nor gather into storehouses, and your heavenly Father doth nourish them; are not ye much better than they? Mt. 6:26
- and about clothing why are ye anxious? consider well the lilies of the field; how do they grow? they do not labour, nor do they spin; Mt. 6:28
- `And if the herb of the field, that to-day is, and to-morrow is cast to the furnace, God doth so clothe -- not much more you, O ye of little faith? Mt. 6:30
- for all these do the nations seek for, for your heavenly Father doth know that ye have need of all these; Mt. 6:32
- but seek ye first the reign of God and His righteousness, and all these shall be added to you. Mt. 6:33
- Be not therefore anxious for the morrow, for the morrow shall be anxious for its own things; sufficient for the day is the evil of it. Mt. 6:34
- `And why dost thou behold the mote that is in thy brother's eye, and the beam that is in thine own eye dost not consider? Mt. 7:3
- or, how wilt thou say to thy brother, Suffer I may cast out the mote from thine eye, and lo, the beam is in thine own eye? Mt. 7:4
- Hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of thine own eye, and then thou shalt see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye. Mt. 7:5
- `Ye may not give that which is holy to the dogs, nor cast your pearls before the swine, that they may not trample them among their feet, and having turned -- may rend you. Mt. 7:6
- if, therefore, ye being evil, have known good gifts to give to your children, how much more shall your Father who is in the heavens give good things to those asking him? Mt. 7:11
- `All things, therefore, whatever ye may will that men may be doing to you, so also do to them, for this is the law and the prophets. Mt. 7:12
- `Go ye in through the strait gate, because wide is the gate, and broad the way that is leading to the destruction, and many are those going in through it; Mt. 7:13
- how strait is the gate, and compressed the way that is leading to the life, and few are those finding it! Mt. 7:14
- `But, take heed of the false prophets, who come unto you in sheep's clothing, and inwardly are ravening wolves. Mt. 7:15
- so every good tree doth yield good fruits, but the bad tree doth yield evil fruits. Mt. 7:17
- `Not every one who is saying to me Lord, lord, shall come into the reign of the heavens; but he who is doing the will of my Father who is in the heavens. Mt. 7:21
- `Therefore, every one who doth hear of me these words, and doth do them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house upon the rock; Mt. 7:24
- and the rain did descend, and the streams came, and the winds blew, and they beat on that house, and it fell not, for it had been founded on the rock. Mt. 7:25
- `And every one who is hearing of me these words, and is not doing them, shall be likened to a foolish man who built his house upon the sand; Mt. 7:26
- and the rain did descend, and the streams came, and the winds blew, and they beat on that house, and it fell, and its fall was great.' Mt. 7:27
- And it came to pass, when Jesus ended these words, the multitudes were astonished at his teaching, Mt. 7:28
- for he was teaching them as having authority, and not as the scribes. Mt. 7:29
- And when he came down from the mount, great multitudes did follow him, Mt. 8:1
- and having stretched forth the hand, Jesus touched him, saying, `I will, be thou cleansed,' and immediately his leprosy was cleansed. Mt. 8:3
- And Jesus saith to him, `See, thou mayest tell no one, but go, thyself shew to the priest, and bring the gift that Moses commanded for a testimony to them.' Mt. 8:4
- and saying, `Sir, my young man hath been laid in the house a paralytic, fearfully afflicted,' Mt. 8:6
- And the centurion answering said, `Sir, I am not worthy that thou mayest enter under my roof, but only say a word, and my servant shall be healed; Mt. 8:8
- and I say to you, that many from east and west shall come and recline (at meat) with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the reign of the heavens, Mt. 8:11
- but the sons of the reign shall be cast forth to the outer darkness -- there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of the teeth.' Mt. 8:12
- And Jesus said to the centurion, `Go, and as thou didst believe let it be to thee;' and his young man was healed in that hour. Mt. 8:13
- And Jesus having come into the house of Peter, saw his mother-in-law laid, and fevered, Mt. 8:14
- and he touched her hand, and the fever left her, and she arose, and was ministering to them. Mt. 8:15
- And evening having come, they brought to him many demoniacs, and he did cast out the spirits with a word, and did heal all who were ill, Mt. 8:16
- that it might be fulfilled that was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying, `Himself took our infirmities, and the sicknesses he did bear.' Mt. 8:17
- And Jesus having seen great multitudes about him, did command to depart to the other side; Mt. 8:18
- and Jesus saith to him, `The foxes have holes, and the birds of the heaven places of rest, but the Son of Man hath not where he may lay the head.' Mt. 8:20
- and Jesus said to him, `Follow me, and suffer the dead to bury their own dead.' Mt. 8:22
- And when he entered into the boat his disciples did follow him, Mt. 8:23
- and lo, a great tempest arose in the sea, so that the boat was being covered by the waves, but he was sleeping, Mt. 8:24
- And he saith to them, `Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith?' Then having risen, he rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was a great calm; Mt. 8:26
- and the men wondered, saying, `What kind -- is this, that even the wind and the sea do obey him?' Mt. 8:27
- And he having come to the other side, to the region of the Gergesenes, there met him two demoniacs, coming forth out of the tombs, very fierce, so that no one was able to pass over by that way, Mt. 8:28
- and lo, they cried out, saying, `What -- to us and to thee, Jesus, Son of God? didst thou come hither, before the time, to afflict us?' Mt. 8:29
- and the demons were calling on him, saying, `If thou dost cast us forth, permit us to go away to the herd of the swine;' Mt. 8:31
- and he saith to them, `Go.' And having come forth, they went to the herd of the swine, and lo, the whole herd of the swine rushed down the steep, to the sea, and died in the waters, Mt. 8:32
- and those feeding did flee, and, having gone to the city, they declared all, and the matter of the demoniacs. Mt. 8:33
- And lo, all the city came forth to meet Jesus, and having seen him, they called on him that he might depart from their borders. Mt. 8:34
- And having gone to the boat, he passed over, and came to his own city, Mt. 9:1
- and lo, they were bringing to him a paralytic, laid upon a couch, and Jesus having seen their faith, said to the paralytic, `Be of good courage, child, thy sins have been forgiven thee.' Mt. 9:2
- And lo, certain of the scribes said within themselves, `This one doth speak evil.' Mt. 9:3
- for which is easier? to say, The sins have been forgiven to thee; or to say, Rise, and walk? Mt. 9:5
- `But, that ye may know that the Son of Man hath power upon the earth to forgive sins -- (then saith he to the paralytic) -- having risen, take up thy couch, and go to thy house.' Mt. 9:6
- and the multitudes having seen, wondered, and glorified God, who did give such power to men. Mt. 9:8
- And Jesus passing by thence, saw a man sitting at the tax-office, named Matthew, and saith to him, `Be following me,' and he, having risen, did follow him. Mt. 9:9
- And it came to pass, he reclining (at meat) in the house, that lo, many tax-gatherers and sinners having come, were lying (at meat) with Jesus and his disciples, Mt. 9:10
- and the Pharisees having seen, said to his disciples, `Wherefore with the tax-gatherers and sinners doth your teacher eat?' Mt. 9:11

- And Jesus having come to the house of the ruler, and having seen the minstrels and the multitude making tumult, Mt. 9:23
- he saith to them, `Withdraw, for the damsel did not die, but doth sleep,' and they were deriding him; Mt. 9:24
- but, when the multitude was put forth, having gone in, he took hold of her hand, and the damsel arose, Mt. 9:25
- and the fame of this went forth to all the land. Mt. 9:26
- And he having come to the house, the blind men came to him, and Jesus saith to them, `Believe ye that I am able to do this?' They say to him, `Yes, sir.' Mt. 9:28
- and the demon having been cast out, the dumb spake, and the multitude did wonder, saying that `It was never so seen in Israel:' Mt. 9:33

- beseech ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he may put forth workmen to His harvest.' Mt. 9:38
- And of the twelve apostles the names are these: first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James of Zebedee, and John his brother; Mt. 10:2
- Philip, and Bartholomew; Thomas, and Matthew the tax-gatherer; James of Alpheus, and Lebbeus who was surnamed Thaddeus; Mt. 10:3

- These twelve did Jesus send forth, having given command to them, saying, `To the way of the nations go not away, and into a city of the Samaritans go not in, Mt. 10:5
- and be going rather unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel. Mt. 10:6
- `And, going on, proclaim saying that, the reign of the heavens hath come nigh; Mt. 10:7
- nor scrip for the way, nor two coats, nor sandals, nor staff -- for the workman is worthy of his nourishment. Mt. 10:10
- And coming to the house salute it, Mt. 10:12
- and if indeed the house be worthy, let your peace come upon it; and if it be not worthy, let your peace turn back to you. Mt. 10:13

- `A disciple is not above the teacher, nor a servant above his lord; Mt. 10:24
- sufficient to the disciple that he may be as his teacher, and the servant as his lord; if the master of the house they did call Beelzeboul, how much more those of his household? Mt. 10:25
- that which I tell you in the darkness, speak in the light, and that which you hear at the ear, proclaim on the house-tops. Mt. 10:27

- And John having heard in the prison the works of the Christ, having sent two of his disciples, Mt. 11:2
- And Jesus answering said to them, `Having gone, declare to John the things that ye hear and see, Mt. 11:4
- And as they are going, Jesus began to say to the multitudes concerning John, `What went ye out to the wilderness to view? -- a reed shaken by the wind? Mt. 11:7
- `But what went ye out to see? -- a man clothed in soft garments? lo, those wearing the soft things are in the kings' houses. Mt. 11:8
- Verily I say to you, there hath not risen, among those born of women, a greater than John the Baptist, but he who is least in the reign of the heavens is greater than he. Mt. 11:11
- `And, from the days of John the Baptist till now, the reign of the heavens doth suffer violence, and violent men do take it by force, Mt. 11:12
- for all the prophets and the law till John did prophesy, Mt. 11:13
- and saying, We piped unto you, and ye did not dance, we lamented to you, and ye did not smite the breast. Mt. 11:17
- the Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, Lo, a man, a glutton, and a wine-drinker, a friend of tax-gatherers and sinners, and wisdom was justified of her children.' Mt. 11:19
- Then began he to reproach the cities in which were done most of his mighty works, because they did not reform. Mt. 11:20
- `Wo to thee, Chorazin! wo to thee, Bethsaida! because, if in Tyre and Sidon had been done the mighty works that were done in you, long ago in sackcloth and ashes they had reformed; Mt. 11:21
- `And thou, Capernaum, which unto the heaven wast exalted, unto hades shalt be brought down, because if in Sodom had been done the mighty works that were done in thee, it had remained unto this day; Mt. 11:23
- but I say to you, to the land of Sodom it shall be more tolerable in a day of judgment than to thee.' Mt. 11:24
- At that time Jesus answering said, `I do confess to Thee, Father, Lord of the heavens and of the earth, that thou didst hide these things from wise and understanding ones, and didst reveal them to babes. Mt. 11:25
- `All things were delivered to me by my Father, and none doth know the Son, except the Father, nor doth any know the Father, except the Son, and he to whom the Son may wish to reveal Him. Mt. 11:27
- At that time did Jesus go on the sabbaths through the corn, and his disciples were hungry, and they began to pluck ears, and to eat, Mt. 12:1
- and the Pharisees having seen, said to him, `Lo, thy disciples do that which it is not lawful to do on a sabbath.' Mt. 12:2
- how he went into the house of God, and the loaves of the presentation did eat, which it is not lawful to him to eat, nor to those with him, except to the priests alone? Mt. 12:4
- `Or did ye not read in the Law, that on the sabbaths the priests in the temple do profane the sabbath, and are blameless? Mt. 12:5
- and I say to you, that a greater than the temple is here; Mt. 12:6
- and if ye had known what is: Kindness I will, and not sacrifice -- ye had not condemned the blameless, Mt. 12:7
- for the son of man is lord even of the sabbath.' Mt. 12:8
- and lo, there was a man having the hand withered, and they questioned him, saying, `Is it lawful to heal on the sabbaths?' that they might accuse him. Mt. 12:10
- And he said to them, `What man shall be of you, who shall have one sheep, and if this may fall on the sabbaths into a ditch, will not lay hold on it and raise it? Mt. 12:11
- How much better, therefore, is a man than a sheep? -- so that it is lawful on the sabbaths to do good.' Mt. 12:12
- Then saith he to the man, `Stretch forth thy hand,' and he stretched it forth, and it was restored whole as the other. Mt. 12:13
- And the Pharisees having gone forth, held a consultation against him, how they might destroy him, Mt. 12:14
- that it might be fulfilled that was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying, Mt. 12:17
- `Lo, My servant, whom I did choose, My beloved, in whom My soul did delight, I will put My Spirit upon him, and judgment to the nations he shall declare, Mt. 12:18
- he shall not strive nor cry, nor shall any hear in the broad places his voice, Mt. 12:19
- Then was brought to him a demoniac, blind and dumb, and he healed him, so that the blind and dumb both spake and saw. Mt. 12:22
- And all the multitudes were amazed, and said, `Is this the Son of David?' Mt. 12:23
- but the Pharisees having heard, said, `This one doth not cast out demons, except by Beelzeboul, ruler of the demons.' Mt. 12:24
- and if the Adversary doth cast out the Adversary, against himself he was divided, how then doth his kingdom stand? Mt. 12:26
- `And if I, by Beelzeboul, do cast out the demons, your sons -- by whom do they cast out? because of this they -- they shall be your judges. Mt. 12:27
- `But if I, by the Spirit of God, do cast out the demons, then come already unto you did the reign of God. Mt. 12:28
- `Or how is one able to go into the house of the strong man, and to plunder his goods, if first he may not bind the strong man? and then his house he will plunder. Mt. 12:29
- Because of this I say to you, all sin and evil speaking shall be forgiven to men, but the evil speaking of the Spirit shall not be forgiven to men. Mt. 12:31
- And whoever may speak a word against the Son of Man it shall be forgiven to him, but whoever may speak against the Holy Spirit, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this age, nor in that which is coming. Mt. 12:32
- `Either make the tree good, and its fruit good, or make the tree bad, and its fruit bad, for from the fruit is the tree known. Mt. 12:33
- `Brood of vipers! how are ye able to speak good things -- being evil? for out of the abundance of the heart doth the mouth speak. Mt. 12:34
- The good man out of the good treasure of the heart doth put forth the good things, and the evil man out of the evil treasure doth put forth evil things. Mt. 12:35
- Then answered certain of the scribes and Pharisees, saying, `Teacher, we will to see a sign from thee.' Mt. 12:38
- And he answering said to them, `A generation, evil and adulterous, doth seek a sign, and a sign shall not be given to it, except the sign of Jonah the prophet; Mt. 12:39
- for, as Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights, so shall the Son of Man be in the heart of the earth three days and three nights. Mt. 12:40
- `Men of Nineveh shall stand up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it, for they reformed at the proclamation of Jonah, and lo, a greater than Jonah here! Mt. 12:41
- `A queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it, for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and lo, a greater than Solomon here! Mt. 12:42
- `And, when the unclean spirit may go forth from the man, it doth walk through dry places seeking rest, and doth not find; Mt. 12:43
- then doth it go, and take with itself seven other spirits more evil than itself, and having gone in they dwell there, and the last of that man doth become worse than the first; so shall it be also to this evil generation.' Mt. 12:45
- And while he was yet speaking to the multitudes, lo, his mother and brethren had stood without, seeking to speak to him, Mt. 12:46
- for whoever may do the will of my Father who is in the heavens, he is my brother, and sister, and mother.' Mt. 12:50
- And in that day Jesus, having gone forth from the house, was sitting by the sea, Mt. 13:1
- and gathered together unto him were many multitudes, so that he having gone into the boat did sit down, and all the multitude on the beach did stand, Mt. 13:2
- and he spake to them many things in similes, saying: `Lo, the sower went forth to sow, Mt. 13:3
- and in his sowing, some indeed fell by the way, and the fowls did come and devour them, Mt. 13:4
- and others fell upon the rocky places, where they had not much earth, and immediately they sprang forth, through not having depth of earth, Mt. 13:5
- and the sun having risen they were scorched, and through not having root, they withered, Mt. 13:6
- and others fell upon the thorns, and the thorns did come up and choke them, Mt. 13:7
- and others fell upon the good ground, and were giving fruit, some indeed a hundredfold, and some sixty, and some thirty. Mt. 13:8
- And the disciples having come near, said to him, `Wherefore in similes dost thou speak to them?' Mt. 13:10
- And he answering said to them that -- `To you it hath been given to know the secrets of the reign of the heavens, and to these it hath not been given, Mt. 13:11
- and fulfilled on them is the prophecy of Isaiah, that saith, With hearing ye shall hear, and ye shall not understand, and seeing ye shall see, and ye shall not perceive, Mt. 13:14
- for made gross was the heart of this people, and with the ears they heard heavily, and their eyes they did close, lest they might see with the eyes, and with the ears might hear, and with the heart understand, and turn back, and I might heal them. Mt. 13:15
- `Ye, therefore, hear ye the simile of the sower: Mt. 13:18
- Every one hearing the word of the reign, and not understanding -- the evil one doth come, and doth catch that which hath been sown in his heart; this is that sown by the way. Mt. 13:19
- `And that sown on the rocky places, this is he who is hearing the word, and immediately with joy is receiving it, Mt. 13:20
- and he hath not root in himself, but is temporary, and persecution or tribulation having happened because of the word, immediately he is stumbled. Mt. 13:21
- `And that sown toward the thorns, this is he who is hearing the word, and the anxiety of this age, and the deceitfulness of the riches, do choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful. Mt. 13:22
- `And that sown on the good ground: this is he who is hearing the word, and is understanding, who indeed doth bear fruit, and doth make, some indeed a hundredfold, and some sixty, and some thirty.' Mt. 13:23
- Another simile he set before them, saying: `The reign of the heavens was likened to a man sowing good seed in his field, Mt. 13:24
- and, while men are sleeping, his enemy came and sowed darnel in the midst of the wheat, and went away, Mt. 13:25
- and when the herb sprang up, and yielded fruit, then appeared also the darnel. Mt. 13:26
- `And the servants of the householder, having come near, said to him, Sir, good seed didst thou not sow in thy field? whence then hath it the darnel? Mt. 13:27
- And he saith to them, A man, an enemy, did this; and the servants said to him, Wilt thou, then, that having gone away we may gather it up? Mt. 13:28
- `And he said, No, lest -- gathering up the darnel -- ye root up with it the wheat, Mt. 13:29
- suffer both to grow together till the harvest, and in the time of the harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather up first the darnel, and bind it in bundles, to burn it, and the wheat gather up into my storehouse.' Mt. 13:30
- Another simile he set before them, saying: `The reign of the heavens is like to a grain of mustard, which a man having taken, did sow in his field, Mt. 13:31
- which less, indeed, is than all the seeds, but when it may be grown, is greatest of the herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the heaven do come and rest in its branches.' Mt. 13:32
- Another simile spake he to them: `The reign of the heavens is like to leaven, which a woman having taken, hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.' Mt. 13:33
- All these things spake Jesus in similes to the multitudes, and without a simile he was not speaking to them, Mt. 13:34
- that it might be fulfilled that was spoken through the prophet, saying, `I will open in similes my mouth, I will utter things having been hidden from the foundation of the world.' Mt. 13:35
- Then having let away the multitudes, Jesus came to the house, and his disciples came near to him, saying, `Explain to us the simile of the darnel of the field.' Mt. 13:36
- And he answering said to them, `He who is sowing the good seed is the Son of Man, Mt. 13:37
- and the field is the world, and the good seed, these are the sons of the reign, and the darnel are the sons of the evil one, Mt. 13:38
- and the enemy who sowed them is the devil, and the harvest is a full end of the age, and the reapers are messengers. Mt. 13:39
- `As, then, the darnel is gathered up, and is burned with fire, so shall it be in the full end of this age, Mt. 13:40
- the Son of Man shall send forth his messengers, and they shall gather up out of his kingdom all the stumbling-blocks, and those doing the unlawlessness, Mt. 13:41
- and shall cast them to the furnace of the fire; there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of the teeth. Mt. 13:42
- `Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the reign of their Father. He who is having ears to hear -- let him hear. Mt. 13:43
- `Again, the reign of the heavens is like to treasure hid in the field, which a man having found did hide, and from his joy goeth, and all, as much as he hath, he selleth, and buyeth that field. Mt. 13:44
- `Again, the reign of the heavens is like to a man, a merchant, seeking goodly pearls, Mt. 13:45
- `Again, the reign of the heavens is like to a net that was cast into the sea, and did gather together of every kind, Mt. 13:47
- which, when it was filled, having drawn up again upon the beach, and having sat down, they gathered the good into vessels, and the bad they did cast out, Mt. 13:48
- so shall it be in the full end of the age, the messengers shall come forth and separate the evil out of the midst of the righteous, Mt. 13:49
- and shall cast them to the furnace of the fire, there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of the teeth.' Mt. 13:50
- And he said to them, `Because of this every scribe having been discipled in regard to the reign of the heavens, is like to a man, a householder, who doth bring forth out of his treasure things new and old.' Mt. 13:52
- and having come to his own country, he was teaching them in their synagogue, so that they were astonished, and were saying, `Whence to this one this wisdom and the mighty works? Mt. 13:54
- is not this the carpenter's son? is not his mother called Mary, and his brethren James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas? Mt. 13:55
- At that time did Herod the tetrarch hear the fame of Jesus, Mt. 14:1
- and said to his servants, `This is John the Baptist, he did rise from the dead, and because of this the mighty energies are working in him.' Mt. 14:2
- and, willing to kill him, he feared the multitude, because as a prophet they were holding him. Mt. 14:5
- But the birthday of Herod being kept, the daughter of Herodias danced in the midst, and did please Herod, Mt. 14:6
- And she having been instigated by her mother -- `Give me (says she) here upon a plate the head of John the Baptist; Mt. 14:8
- and the king was grieved, but because of the oaths and of those reclining with him, he commanded it to be given; Mt. 14:9
- and having sent, he beheaded John in the prison, Mt. 14:10
- and his head was brought upon a plate, and was given to the damsel, and she brought it nigh to her mother. Mt. 14:11
- And his disciples having come, took up the body, and buried it, and having come, they told Jesus, Mt. 14:12
- and Jesus having heard, withdrew thence in a boat to a desolate place by himself, and the multitudes having heard did follow him on land from the cities. Mt. 14:13
- and evening having come, his disciples came to him, saying, `The place is desolate, and the hour hath now past, let away the multitudes that, having gone to the villages, they may buy to themselves food.' Mt. 14:15
- And having commanded the multitudes to recline upon the grass, and having taken the five loaves and the two fishes, having looked up to the heaven, he did bless, and having broken, he gave the loaves to the disciples, and the disciples to the multitudes, Mt. 14:19
- and they did all eat, and were filled, and they took up what was over of the broken pieces twelve hand-baskets full; Mt. 14:20
- And immediately Jesus constrained his disciples to go into the boat, and to go before him to the other side, till he might let away the multitudes; Mt. 14:22
- and having let away the multitudes, he went up to the mountain by himself to pray, and evening having come, he was there alone, Mt. 14:23
- and the boat was now in the midst of the sea, distressed by the waves, for the wind was contrary. Mt. 14:24
- And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went away to them, walking upon the sea, Mt. 14:25
- and the disciples having seen him walking upon the sea, were troubled saying -- `It is an apparition,' and from the fear they cried out; Mt. 14:26
- And Peter answering him said, `Sir, if it is thou, bid me come to thee upon the waters;' Mt. 14:28
- and he said, `Come;' and having gone down from the boat, Peter walked upon the waters to come unto Jesus, Mt. 14:29
- but seeing the wind vehement, he was afraid, and having begun to sink, he cried out, saying, `Sir, save me.' Mt. 14:30
- And immediately Jesus, having stretched forth the hand, laid hold of him, and saith to him, `Little faith! for what didst thou waver?' Mt. 14:31
- and they having gone to the boat the wind lulled, Mt. 14:32
- and those in the boat having come, did bow to him, saying, `Truly -- God's Son art thou.' Mt. 14:33
- And having passed over, they came to the land of Gennesaret, Mt. 14:34
- and having recognized him, the men of that place sent forth to all that region round about, and they brought to him all who were ill, Mt. 14:35
- and were calling on him that they might only touch the fringe of his garment, and as many as did touch were saved. Mt. 14:36
- `Wherefore do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? for they do not wash their hands when they may eat bread.' Mt. 15:2
- And he answering said to them, `Wherefore also do ye transgress the command of God because of your tradition? Mt. 15:3
- for God did command, saying, Honour thy father and mother; and, He who is speaking evil of father or mother -- let him die the death; Mt. 15:4
- and he may not honour his father or his mother, and ye did set aside the command of God because of your tradition. Mt. 15:6
- This people doth draw nigh to Me with their mouth, and with the lips it doth honour Me, but their heart is far off from Me; Mt. 15:8
- And having called near the multitude, he said to them, `Hear and understand: Mt. 15:10
- not that which is coming into the mouth doth defile the man, but that which is coming forth from the mouth, this defileth the man.' Mt. 15:11
- Then his disciples having come near, said to him, `Hast thou known that the Pharisees, having heard the word, were stumbled?' Mt. 15:12
- do ye not understand that all that is going into the mouth doth pass into the belly, and into the drain is cast forth? Mt. 15:17
- but the things coming forth from the mouth from the heart do come forth, and these defile the man; Mt. 15:18
- for out of the heart come forth evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, whoredoms, thefts, false witnessings, evil speakings: Mt. 15:19
- these are the things defiling the man; but to eat with unwashen hands doth not defile the man.' Mt. 15:20
- And Jesus having come forth thence, withdrew to the parts of Tyre and Sidon, Mt. 15:21
- and he answering said, `I was not sent except to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.' Mt. 15:24
- and he answering said, `It is not good to take the children's bread, and to cast to the little dogs.' Mt. 15:26
- And she said, `Yes, sir, for even the little dogs do eat of the crumbs that are falling from their lords' table;' Mt. 15:27
- And Jesus having passed thence, came nigh unto the sea of Galilee, and having gone up to the mountain, he was sitting there, Mt. 15:29
- and there came to him great multitudes, having with them lame, blind, dumb, maimed, and many others, and they did cast them at the feet of Jesus, and he healed them, Mt. 15:30
- so that the multitudes did wonder, seeing dumb ones speaking, maimed whole, lame walking, and blind seeing; and they glorified the God of Israel. Mt. 15:31
- And Jesus having called near his disciples, said, `I have compassion upon the multitude, because now three days they continue with me, and they have not what they may eat; and to let them away fasting I will not, lest they faint in the way.' Mt. 15:32
- And he commanded the multitudes to sit down upon the ground, Mt. 15:35
- and having taken the seven loaves and the fishes, having given thanks, he did break, and gave to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude. Mt. 15:36
- And they did all eat, and were filled, and they took up what was over of the broken pieces seven baskets full, Mt. 15:37
- And having let away the multitudes, he went into the boat, and did come to the borders of Magdala. Mt. 15:39
- And the Pharisees and Sadducees having come, tempting, did question him, to shew to them a sign from the heaven, Mt. 16:1
- and he answering said to them, `Evening having come, ye say, Fair weather, for the heaven is red, Mt. 16:2
- and at morning, Foul weather to-day, for the heaven is red -- gloomy; hypocrites, the face of the heavens indeed ye do know to discern, but the signs of the times ye are not able! Mt. 16:3
- `A generation evil and adulterous doth seek a sign, and a sign shall not be given to it, except the sign of Jonah the prophet;' and having left them he went away. Mt. 16:4
- And his disciples having come to the other side, forgot to take loaves, Mt. 16:5
- and Jesus said to them, `Beware, and take heed of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees;' Mt. 16:6
- do ye not yet understand, nor remember the five loaves of the five thousand, and how many hand-baskets ye took up? Mt. 16:9
- nor the seven loaves of the four thousand, and how many baskets ye took up? Mt. 16:10
- how do ye not understand that I did not speak to you of bread -- to take heed of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees?' Mt. 16:11
- Then they understood that he did not say to take heed of the leaven of the bread, but of the teaching, of the Pharisees and Sadducees. Mt. 16:12
- And Jesus, having come to the parts of Cesarea Philippi, was asking his disciples, saying, `Who do men say me to be -- the Son of Man?' Mt. 16:13
- and they said, `Some, John the Baptist, and others, Elijah, and others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets.' Mt. 16:14
- and Simon Peter answering said, `Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.' Mt. 16:16
- And Jesus answering said to him, `Happy art thou, Simon Bar-Jona, because flesh and blood did not reveal it to thee, but my Father who is in the heavens. Mt. 16:17
- and I will give to thee the keys of the reign of the heavens, and whatever thou mayest bind upon the earth shall be having been bound in the heavens, and whatever thou mayest loose upon the earth shall be having been loosed in the heavens.' Mt. 16:19
- Then did he charge his disciples that they may say to no one that he is Jesus the Christ. Mt. 16:20
- From that time began Jesus to shew to his disciples that it is necessary for him to go away to Jerusalem, and to suffer many things from the elders, and chief priests, and scribes, and to be put to death, and the third day to rise. Mt. 16:21
- and he having turned, said to Peter, `Get thee behind me, adversary! thou art a stumbling-block to me, for thou dost not mind the things of God, but the things of men.' Mt. 16:23
- for what is a man profited if he may gain the whole world, but of his life suffer loss? or what shall a man give as an exchange for his life? Mt. 16:26
- `For, the Son of Man is about to come in the glory of his Father, with his messengers, and then he will reward each, according to his work. Mt. 16:27
- Verily I say to you, there are certain of those standing here who shall not taste of death till they may see the Son of Man coming in his reign.' Mt. 16:28
- and he was transfigured before them, and his face shone as the sun, and his garments did become white as the light, Mt. 17:2
- While he is yet speaking, lo, a bright cloud overshadowed them, and lo, a voice out of the cloud, saying, `This is My Son, -- the Beloved, in whom I did delight; hear him.' Mt. 17:5
- And the disciples having heard, did fall upon their face, and were exceedingly afraid, Mt. 17:6
- And as they are coming down from the mount, Jesus charged them, saying, `Say to no one the vision, till the Son of Man out of the dead may rise.' Mt. 17:9
- And his disciples questioned him, saying, `Why then do the scribes say that Elijah it behoveth to come first?' Mt. 17:10
- and I say to you -- Elijah did already come, and they did not know him, but did with him whatever they would, so also the Son of Man is about to suffer by them.' Mt. 17:12
- Then understood the disciples that concerning John the Baptist he spake to them. Mt. 17:13
- And when they came unto the multitude, there came to him a man, kneeling down to him, and saying, Mt. 17:14
- `Sir, deal kindly with my son, for he is lunatic, and doth suffer miserably, for often he doth fall into the fire, and often into the water, Mt. 17:15
- and Jesus rebuked him, and the demon went out of him, and the lad was healed from that hour. Mt. 17:18
- Then the disciples having come to Jesus by himself, said, `Wherefore were we not able to cast him out?' Mt. 17:19
- And while they are living in Galilee, Jesus said to them, `The Son of Man is about to be delivered up to the hands of men, Mt. 17:22
- and they shall kill him, and the third day he shall rise,' and they were exceeding sorry. Mt. 17:23
- And they having come to Capernaum, those receiving the didrachms came near to Peter, and said, `Your teacher -- doth he not pay the didrachms?' Mt. 17:24
- He saith, `Yes.' And when he came into the house, Jesus anticipated him, saying, `What thinkest thou, Simon? the kings of the earth -- from whom do they receive custom or poll-tax? from their sons or from the strangers?' Mt. 17:25
- Peter saith to him, `From the strangers.' Jesus said to him, `Then are the sons free; Mt. 17:26
- but, that we may not cause them to stumble, having gone to the sea, cast a hook, and the fish that hath come up first take thou up, and having opened its mouth, thou shalt find a stater, that having taken, give to them for me and thee.' Mt. 17:27
- At that hour came the disciples near to Jesus, saying, `Who, now, is greater in the reign of the heavens?' Mt. 18:1
- And Jesus having called near a child, did set him in the midst of them, Mt. 18:2
- and said, `Verily I say to you, if ye may not be turned and become as the children, ye may not enter into the reign of the heavens; Mt. 18:3
- whoever then may humble himself as this child, he is the greater in the reign of the heavens. Mt. 18:4
- and whoever may cause to stumble one of those little ones who are believing in me, it is better for him that a weighty millstone may be hanged upon his neck, and he may be sunk in the depth of the sea. Mt. 18:6
- `Wo to the world from the stumbling-blocks! for there is a necessity for the stumbling-blocks to come, but wo to that man through whom the stumbling-block doth come! Mt. 18:7
- `And if thy hand or thy foot doth cause thee to stumble, cut them off and cast from thee; it is good for thee to enter into the life lame or maimed, rather than having two hands or two feet, to be cast to the fire the age-during. Mt. 18:8
- `And if thine eye doth cause thee to stumble, pluck it out and cast from thee; it is good for thee one-eyed to enter into the life, rather than having two eyes to be cast to the gehenna of the fire. Mt. 18:9
- `Beware! -- ye may not despise one of these little ones, for I say to you, that their messengers in the heavens do always behold the face of my Father who is in the heavens, Mt. 18:10
- for the Son of Man did come to save the lost. Mt. 18:11
- `What think ye? if a man may have an hundred sheep, and there may go astray one of them, doth he not -- having left the ninety-nine, having gone on the mountains -- seek that which is gone astray? Mt. 18:12
- and if it may come to pass that he doth find it, verily I say to you, that he doth rejoice over it more than over the ninety-nine that have not gone astray; Mt. 18:13
- so it is not will in presence of your Father who is in the heavens, that one of these little ones may perish. Mt. 18:14
- and if he may not hear, take with thee yet one or two, that by the mouth of two witnesses or three every word may stand. Mt. 18:16
- `And if he may not hear them, say it to the assembly, and if also the assembly he may not hear, let him be to thee as the heathen man and the tax-gatherer. Mt. 18:17
- `Verily I say to you, Whatever things ye may bind upon the earth shall be having been bound in the heavens, and whatever things ye may loose on the earth shall be having been loosed in the heavens. Mt. 18:18
- `Again, I say to you, that, if two of you may agree on the earth concerning anything, whatever they may ask -- it shall be done to them from my Father who is in the heavens, Mt. 18:19
- for where there are two or three gathered together -- to my name, there am I in the midst of them.' Mt. 18:20
- `Because of this was the reign of the heavens likened to a man, a king, who did will to take reckoning with his servants, Mt. 18:23
- and he having nothing to pay, his lord did command him to be sold, and his wife, and the children, and all, whatever he had, and payment to be made. Mt. 18:25
- The servant then, having fallen down, was bowing to him, saying, Sir, have patience with me, and I will pay thee all; Mt. 18:26
- and the lord of that servant having been moved with compassion did release him, and the debt he forgave him. Mt. 18:27
- `And, that servant having come forth, found one of his fellow-servants who was owing him an hundred denaries, and having laid hold, he took him by the throat, saying, Pay me that which thou owest. Mt. 18:28
- `And his fellow-servants having seen the things that were done, were grieved exceedingly, and having come, shewed fully to their lord all the things that were done; Mt. 18:31
- `And having been wroth, his lord delivered him to the inquisitors, till he might pay all that was owing to him; Mt. 18:34
- And it came to pass, when Jesus finished these words, he removed from Galilee, and did come to the borders of Judea, beyond the Jordan, Mt. 19:1
- And the Pharisees came near to him, tempting him, and saying to him, `Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause?' Mt. 19:3
- And he answering said to them, `Did ye not read, that He who made them, from the beginning a male and a female made them, Mt. 19:4
- and said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and cleave to his wife, and they shall be -- the two -- for one flesh? Mt. 19:5
- He saith to them -- `Moses for your stiffness of heart did suffer you to put away your wives, but from the beginning it hath not been so. Mt. 19:8
- His disciples say to him, `If the case of the man with the woman is so, it is not good to marry.' Mt. 19:10
- for there are eunuchs who from the mother's womb were so born; and there are eunuchs who were made eunuchs by men; and there are eunuchs who kept themselves eunuchs because of the reign of the heavens: he who is able to receive it -- let him receive.' Mt. 19:12
- Then were brought near to him children that he might put hands on them and pray, and the disciples rebuked them. Mt. 19:13
- But Jesus said, `Suffer the children, and forbid them not, to come unto me, for of such is the reign of the heavens;' Mt. 19:14
- And he said to him, `Why me dost thou call good? no one is good except One -- God; but if thou dost will to enter into the life, keep the commands.' Mt. 19:17
- The young man saith to him, `All these did I keep from my youth; what yet do I lack?' Mt. 19:20
- Jesus said to him, `If thou dost will to be perfect, go away, sell what thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven, and come, follow me.' Mt. 19:21
- And the young man, having heard the word, went away sorrowful, for he had many possessions; Mt. 19:22
- and Jesus said to his disciples, `Verily I say to you, that hardly shall a rich man enter into the reign of the heavens; Mt. 19:23
- and again I say to you, it is easier for a camel through the eye of a needle to go, than for a rich man to enter into the reign of God.' Mt. 19:24
- And Jesus said to them, `Verily I say to you, that ye who did follow me, in the regeneration, when the Son of Man may sit upon a throne of his glory, shall sit -- ye also -- upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel; Mt. 19:28
- `For the reign of the heavens is like to a man, a householder, who went forth with the morning to hire workmen for his vineyard, Mt. 20:1
- and having agreed with the workmen for a denary a day, he sent them into his vineyard. Mt. 20:2
- `And having gone forth about the third hour, he saw others standing in the market-place idle, Mt. 20:3
- and to these he said, Go ye -- also ye -- to the vineyard, and whatever may be righteous I will give you; Mt. 20:4
- and they went away. `Again, having gone forth about the sixth and the ninth hour, he did in like manner. Mt. 20:5
- And about the eleventh hour, having gone forth, he found others standing idle, and saith to them, Why here have ye stood all the day idle? Mt. 20:6
- they say to him, Because no one did hire us; he saith to them, Go ye -- ye also -- to the vineyard, and whatever may be righteous ye shall receive. Mt. 20:7
- `And evening having come, the lord of the vineyard saith to his steward, Call the workmen, and pay them the reward, having begun from the last -- unto the first. Mt. 20:8
- And they of about the eleventh hour having come, did receive each a denary. Mt. 20:9
- `And the first having come, did suppose that they shall receive more, and they received, they also, each a denary, Mt. 20:10
- and having received it, they were murmuring against the householder, Mt. 20:11
- saying, that These, the last, wrought one hour, and thou didst make them equal to us, who were bearing the burden of the day -- and the heat. Mt. 20:12
- take that which is thine, and go; and I will to give to this, the last, also as to thee; Mt. 20:14
- So the last shall be first, and the first last, for many are called, and few chosen.' Mt. 20:16
- And Jesus going up to Jerusalem, took the twelve disciples by themselves in the way, and said to them, Mt. 20:17
- `Lo, we go up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man shall be delivered to the chief priests and scribes, Mt. 20:18
- and they shall condemn him to death, and shall deliver him to the nations to mock, and to scourge, and to crucify, and the third day he will rise again.' Mt. 20:19
- Then came near to him the mother of the sons of Zebedee, with her sons, bowing and asking something from him, Mt. 20:20
- and he said to her, `What wilt thou?' She saith to him, `Say, that they may sit -- these my two sons -- one on thy right hand, and one on the left, in thy reign.' Mt. 20:21
- And Jesus answering said, `Ye have not known what ye ask for yourselves; are ye able to drink of the cup that I am about to drink? and with the baptism that I am baptized with, to be baptized?' They say to him, `We are able.' Mt. 20:22
- And he saith to them, `Of my cup indeed ye shall drink, and with the baptism that I am baptized with ye shall be baptized; but to sit on my right hand and on my left is not mine to give, but -- to those for whom it hath been prepared by my father.' Mt. 20:23
- And the ten having heard, were much displeased with the two brothers, Mt. 20:24
- and Jesus having called them near, said, `Ye have known that the rulers of the nations do exercise lordship over them, and those great do exercise authority over them, Mt. 20:25
- even as the Son of Man did not come to be ministered to, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.' Mt. 20:28
- and lo, two blind men sitting by the way, having heard that Jesus doth pass by, cried, saying, `Deal kindly with us, sir -- Son of David.' Mt. 20:30
- And the multitude charged them that they might be silent, and they cried out the more, saying, `Deal kindly with us sir -- Son of David.' Mt. 20:31
- And when they came nigh to Jerusalem, and came to Bethphage, unto the mount of the Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples, Mt. 21:1
- saying to them, `Go on to the village over-against you, and immediately ye shall find an ass bound, and a colt with her -- having loosed, bring ye to me; Mt. 21:2
- and if any one may say anything to you, ye shall say, that the lord hath need of them, and immediately he will send them.' Mt. 21:3
- And all this came to pass, that it might be fulfilled that was spoken through the prophet, saying, Mt. 21:4
- `Tell ye the daughter of Zion, Lo, thy king doth come to thee, meek, and mounted on an ass, and a colt, a foal of a beast of burden.' Mt. 21:5
- And the disciples having gone and having done as Jesus commanded them, Mt. 21:6
- brought the ass and the colt, and did put on them their garments, and set him upon them; Mt. 21:7
- and the very great multitude spread their own garments in the way, and others were cutting branches from the trees, and were strewing in the way, Mt. 21:8
- and the multitudes who were going before, and who were following, were crying, saying, `Hosanna to the Son of David, blessed is he who is coming in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest.' Mt. 21:9
- And he having entered into Jerusalem, all the city was moved, saying, `Who is this?' Mt. 21:10
- And the multitudes said, `This is Jesus the prophet, who is from Nazareth of Galilee.' Mt. 21:11
- And Jesus entered into the temple of God, and did cast forth all those selling and buying in the temple, and the tables of the money-changers he overturned, and the seats of those selling the doves, Mt. 21:12
- And there came to him blind and lame men in the temple, and he healed them, Mt. 21:14
- and the chief priests and the scribes having seen the wonderful things that he did, and the children crying in the temple, and saying, `Hosanna to the Son of David,' were much displeased; Mt. 21:15
- and they said to him, `Hearest thou what these say?' And Jesus saith to them, `Yes, did ye never read, that, Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings Thou didst prepare praise?' Mt. 21:16
- And having left them, he went forth out of the city to Bethany, and did lodge there, Mt. 21:17
- and in the morning turning back to the city, he hungered, Mt. 21:18
- and having seen a certain fig-tree on the way, he came to it, and found nothing in it except leaves only, and he saith to it, `No more from thee may fruit be -- to the age;' and forthwith the fig-tree withered. Mt. 21:19
- And the disciples having seen, did wonder, saying, `How did the fig-tree forthwith wither?' Mt. 21:20
- And Jesus answering said to them, `Verily I say to you, If ye may have faith, and may not doubt, not only this of the fig-tree shall ye do, but even if to this mount ye may say, Be lifted up and be cast into the sea, it shall come to pass; Mt. 21:21
- and all -- as much as ye may ask in the prayer, believing, ye shall receive.' Mt. 21:22
- And he having come to the temple, there came to him when teaching the chief priests and the elders of the people, saying, `By what authority dost thou do these things? and who gave thee this authority?' Mt. 21:23
- the baptism of John, whence was it? -- from heaven, or from men?' And they were reasoning with themselves, saying, `If we should say, From heaven; he will say to us, Wherefore, then, did ye not believe him? Mt. 21:25
- and if we should say, From men, we fear the multitude, for all hold John as a prophet.' Mt. 21:26
- `And what think ye? A man had two children, and having come to the first, he said, Child, go, to-day be working in my vineyard.' Mt. 21:28
- `And having come to the second, he said in the same manner, and he answering said, I go, sir, and went not; Mt. 21:30
- which of the two did the will of the father?' They say to him, `The first.' Jesus saith to them, `Verily I say to you, that the tax-gatherers and the harlots do go before you into the reign of God, Mt. 21:31
- for John came unto you in the way of righteousness, and ye did not believe him, and the tax-gatherers and the harlots did believe him, and ye, having seen, repented not at last -- to believe him. Mt. 21:32
- `And when the season of the fruits came nigh, he sent his servants unto the husbandmen, to receive the fruits of it, Mt. 21:34
- and the husbandmen having taken his servants, one they scourged, and one they killed, and one they stoned. Mt. 21:35
- `Again he sent other servants more than the first, and they did to them in the same manner. Mt. 21:36
- and the husbandmen having seen the son, said among themselves, This is the heir, come, we may kill him, and may possess his inheritance; Mt. 21:38
- and having taken him, they cast him out of the vineyard, and killed him; Mt. 21:39
- whenever therefore the lord of the vineyard may come, what will he do to these husbandmen?' Mt. 21:40
- They say to him, `Evil men -- he will evilly destroy them, and the vineyard will give out to other husbandmen, who will give back to him the fruits in their seasons.' Mt. 21:41
- Jesus saith to them, `Did ye never read in the Writings, A stone that the builders disallowed, it became head of a corner; from the Lord hath this come to pass, and it is wonderful in our eyes. Mt. 21:42
- `Because of this I say to you, that the reign of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth its fruit; Mt. 21:43
- And the chief priests and the Pharisees having heard his similes, knew that of them he speaketh, Mt. 21:45
- and seeking to lay hold on him, they feared the multitudes, seeing they were holding him as a prophet. Mt. 21:46
- `The reign of the heavens was likened to a man, a king, who made marriage-feasts for his son, Mt. 22:2
- and he sent forth his servants to call those having been called to the marriage-feasts, and they were not willing to come. Mt. 22:3
- `Again he sent forth other servants, saying, Say to those who have been called: Lo, my dinner I prepared, my oxen and the fatlings have been killed, and all things are ready, come ye to the marriage-feasts; Mt. 22:4
- and they, having disregarded it, went away, the one to his own field, and the other to his merchandise; Mt. 22:5
- and the rest, having laid hold on his servants, did insult and slay them. Mt. 22:6
- `And the king having heard, was wroth, and having sent forth his soldiers, he destroyed those murderers, and their city he set on fire; Mt. 22:7
- then saith he to his servants, The marriage-feast indeed is ready, and those called were not worthy, Mt. 22:8
- be going, then, on to the cross-ways, and as many as ye may find, call ye to the marriage-feasts. Mt. 22:9
- `And those servants, having gone forth to the ways, did gather all, as many as they found, both bad and good, and the marriage-feast apartment was filled with those reclining. Mt. 22:10
- `And the king having come in to view those reclining, saw there a man not clothed with clothing of the marriage-feast, Mt. 22:11
- and he saith to him, Comrade, how didst thou come in hither, not having clothing of the marriage-feast? and he was speechless. Mt. 22:12
- `Then said the king to the ministrants, Having bound his feet and hands, take him up and cast forth to the outer darkness, there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of the teeth; Mt. 22:13
- Then the Pharisees having gone, took counsel how they might ensnare him in words, Mt. 22:15
- and they send to him their disciples with the Herodians, saying, `Teacher, we have known that thou art true, and the way of God in truth thou dost teach, and thou art not caring for any one, for thou dost not look to the face of men; Mt. 22:16
- show me the tribute-coin?' and they brought to him a denary; Mt. 22:19
- and he saith to them, `Whose is this image and the inscription?' Mt. 22:20
- they say to him, `Caesar's;' then saith he to them, `Render therefore the things of Caesar to Caesar, and the things of God to God;' Mt. 22:21
- `And there were with us seven brothers, and the first having married did die, and not having seed, he left his wife to his brother; Mt. 22:25
- in like manner also the second, and the third, unto the seventh, Mt. 22:26
- and last of all died also the woman; Mt. 22:27
- therefore in the rising again, of which of the seven shall she be wife -- for all had her?' Mt. 22:28
- And Jesus answering said to them, `Ye go astray, not knowing the Writings, nor the power of God; Mt. 22:29
- for in the rising again they do not marry, nor are they given in marriage, but are as messengers of God in heaven. Mt. 22:30
- `And concerning the rising again of the dead, did ye not read that which was spoken to you by God, saying, Mt. 22:31
- I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not a God of dead men, but of living.' Mt. 22:32
- And having heard, the multitudes were astonished at his teaching; Mt. 22:33
- and the Pharisees, having heard that he did silence the Sadducees, were gathered together unto him; Mt. 22:34
- `Teacher, which is the great command in the Law?' Mt. 22:36
- And Jesus said to him, `Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thine understanding -- Mt. 22:37
- and the second is like to it, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself; Mt. 22:39
- on these -- the two commands -- all the law and the prophets do hang.' Mt. 22:40
- And the Pharisees having been gathered together, Jesus did question them, Mt. 22:41
- saying, `What do ye think concerning the Christ? of whom is he son?' They say to him, `Of David.' Mt. 22:42
- He saith to them, `How then doth David in the Spirit call him lord, saying, Mt. 22:43
- The Lord said to my lord, Sit at my right hand, till I may make thine enemies thy footstool? Mt. 22:44
- Then Jesus spake to the multitudes, and to his disciples, Mt. 23:1
- saying, `On the seat of Moses sat down the scribes and the Pharisees; Mt. 23:2
- for they bind together burdens heavy and grievous to be borne, and lay upon the shoulders of men, but with their finger they will not move them. Mt. 23:4
- `And all their works they do to be seen by men, and they make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the fringes of their garments, Mt. 23:5
- they love also the chief couches in the supper, and the chief seats in the synagogues, Mt. 23:6
- and the salutations in the market-places, and to be called by men, Rabbi, Rabbi. Mt. 23:7
- `And ye -- ye may not be called Rabbi, for one is your director -- the Christ, and all ye are brethren; Mt. 23:8
- and ye may not call any your father on the earth, for one is your Father, who is in the heavens, Mt. 23:9
- nor may ye be called directors, for one is your director -- the Christ. Mt. 23:10
- And the greater of you shall be your ministrant, Mt. 23:11
- `Wo to you, Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye shut up the reign of the heavens before men, for ye do not go in, nor those going in do ye suffer to enter. Mt. 23:13
- `Wo to you, Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye eat up the houses of the widows, and for a pretence make long prayers, because of this ye shall receive more abundant judgment. Mt. 23:14
- `Wo to you, Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye go round the sea and the dry land to make one proselyte, and whenever it may happen -- ye make him a son of gehenna twofold more than yourselves. Mt. 23:15
- `Wo to you, blind guides, who are saying, Whoever may swear by the sanctuary, it is nothing, but whoever may swear by the gold of the sanctuary -- is debtor! Mt. 23:16
- Fools and blind! for which is greater, the gold, or the sanctuary that is sanctifying the gold? Mt. 23:17
- `And, whoever may swear by the altar, it is nothing; but whoever may swear by the gift that is upon it -- is debtor! Mt. 23:18
- Fools and blind! for which is greater, the gift, or the altar that is sanctifying the gift? Mt. 23:19
- `He therefore who did swear by the altar, doth swear by it, and by all things on it; Mt. 23:20
- and he who did swear by the sanctuary, doth swear by it, and by Him who is dwelling in it; Mt. 23:21
- and he who did swear by the heaven, doth swear by the throne of God, and by Him who is sitting upon it. Mt. 23:22
- `Wo to you, Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye give tithe of the mint, and the dill, and the cumin, and did neglect the weightier things of the Law -- the judgment, and the kindness, and the faith; these it behoved you to do, and those not to neglect. Mt. 23:23
- `Blind guides! who are straining out the gnat, and the camel are swallowing. Mt. 23:24
- `Wo to you, Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye make clean the outside of the cup and the plate, and within they are full of rapine and incontinence. Mt. 23:25
- `Blind Pharisee! cleanse first the inside of the cup and the plate, that the outside of them also may become clean. Mt. 23:26
- `Wo to you, Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye build the sepulchres of the prophets, and adorn the tombs of the righteous, Mt. 23:29
- and say, If we had been in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets. Mt. 23:30
- So that ye testify to yourselves, that ye are sons of them who did murder the prophets; Mt. 23:31
- and ye -- ye fill up the measure of your fathers. Mt. 23:32
- `Serpents! brood of vipers! how may ye escape from the judgment of the gehenna? Mt. 23:33
- that on you may come all the righteous blood being poured out on the earth from the blood of Abel the righteous, unto the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the sanctuary and the altar: Mt. 23:35
- `Jerusalem, Jerusalem, that art killing the prophets, and stoning those sent unto thee, how often did I will to gather thy children together, as a hen doth gather her own chickens under the wings, and ye did not will. Mt. 23:37
- for I say to you, ye may not see me henceforth, till ye may say, Blessed is he who is coming in the name of the Lord.' Mt. 23:39
- And having gone forth, Jesus departed from the temple, and his disciples came near to show him the buildings of the temple, Mt. 24:1
- And when he is sitting on the mount of the Olives, the disciples came near to him by himself, saying, `Tell us, when shall these be? and what is the sign of thy presence, and of the full end of the age?' Mt. 24:3
- for many shall come in my name, saying, I am the Christ, and they shall lead many astray, Mt. 24:5
- and ye shall begin to hear of wars, and reports of wars; see, be not troubled, for it behoveth all these to come to pass, but the end is not yet. Mt. 24:6
- and all these are the beginning of sorrows; Mt. 24:8
- then they shall deliver you up to tribulation, and shall kill you, and ye shall be hated by all the nations because of my name; Mt. 24:9
- and because of the abounding of the lawlessness, the love of the many shall become cold; Mt. 24:12
- but he who did endure to the end, he shall be saved; Mt. 24:13
- and this good news of the reign shall be proclaimed in all the world, for a testimony to all the nations; and then shall the end arrive. Mt. 24:14
- `Whenever, therefore, ye may see the abomination of the desolation, that was spoken of through Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place (whoever is reading let him observe) Mt. 24:15
- then those in Judea -- let them flee to the mounts; Mt. 24:16
- he on the house-top -- let him not come down to take up any thing out of his house; Mt. 24:17
- and he in the field -- let him not turn back to take his garments. Mt. 24:18
- for there shall be then great tribulation, such as was not from the beginning of the world till now, no, nor may be. Mt. 24:21
- And if those days were not shortened, no flesh would have been saved; but because of the chosen, shall those days be shortened. Mt. 24:22
- `Then if any one may say to you, Lo, here is the Christ! or here! ye may not believe; Mt. 24:23
- for there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and they shall give great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, also the chosen. Mt. 24:24
- `If therefore they may say to you, Lo, in the wilderness he is, ye may not go forth; lo, in the inner chambers, ye may not believe; Mt. 24:26
- for as the lightning doth come forth from the east, and doth appear unto the west, so shall be also the presence of the Son of Man; Mt. 24:27
- for wherever the carcase may be, there shall the eagles be gathered together. Mt. 24:28
- `And immediately after the tribulation of those days, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from the heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken; Mt. 24:29
- and then shall appear the sign of the Son of Man in the heaven; and then shall all the tribes of the earth smite the breast, and they shall see the Son of Man coming upon the clouds of the heaven, with power and much glory; Mt. 24:30
- and he shall send his messengers with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his chosen from the four winds, from the ends of the heavens unto the ends thereof. Mt. 24:31
- `And from the fig-tree learn ye the simile: When already its branch may have become tender, and the leaves it may put forth, ye know that summer is nigh, Mt. 24:32
- so also ye, when ye may see all these, ye know that it is nigh -- at the doors. Mt. 24:33
- The heaven and the earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away. Mt. 24:35
- `And concerning that day and the hour no one hath known -- not even the messengers of the heavens -- except my Father only; Mt. 24:36
- and as the days of Noah -- so shall be also the presence of the Son of Man; Mt. 24:37
- for as they were, in the days before the flood, eating, and drinking, marrying, and giving in marriage, till the day Noah entered into the ark, Mt. 24:38
- and they did not know till the flood came and took all away; so shall be also the presence of the Son of Man. Mt. 24:39
- Then two men shall be in the field, the one is received, and the one is left; Mt. 24:40
- two women shall be grinding in the mill, one is received, and one is left. Mt. 24:41
- and this know, that if the master of the house had known in what watch the thief doth come, he had watched, and not suffered his house to be broken through; Mt. 24:43
- because of this also ye, become ye ready, because in what hour ye do not think, the Son of Man doth come. Mt. 24:44
- `Who, then, is the servant, faithful and wise, whom his lord did set over his household, to give them the nourishment in season? Mt. 24:45
- and may begin to beat the fellow-servants, and to eat and to drink with the drunken, Mt. 24:49
- the lord of that servant will arrive in a day when he doth not expect, and in an hour of which he doth not know, Mt. 24:50
- and will cut him off, and his portion with the hypocrites will appoint; there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of the teeth. Mt. 24:51
- `Then shall the reign of the heavens be likened to ten virgins, who, having taken their lamps, went forth to meet the bridegroom; Mt. 25:1
- and the prudent took oil in their vessels, with their lamps. Mt. 25:4
- `And the bridegroom tarrying, they all nodded and were sleeping, Mt. 25:5
- and in the middle of the night a cry was made, Lo, the bridegroom doth come; go ye forth to meet him. Mt. 25:6
- and the foolish said to the prudent, Give us of your oil, because our lamps are going out; Mt. 25:8
- and the prudent answered, saying -- Lest there may not be sufficient for us and you, go ye rather unto those selling, and buy for yourselves. Mt. 25:9
- `And while they are going away to buy, the bridegroom came, and those ready went in with him to the marriage-feasts, and the door was shut; Mt. 25:10
- and afterwards come also do the rest of the virgins, saying, Sir, sir, open to us; Mt. 25:11
- `Watch therefore, for ye have not known the day nor the hour in which the Son of Man doth come. Mt. 25:13
- `And he who did receive the five talents, having gone, wrought with them, and made other five talents; Mt. 25:16
- in like manner also he who received the two, he gained, also he, other two; Mt. 25:17
- and he who did receive the one, having gone away, digged in the earth, and hid his lord's money. Mt. 25:18
- `And after a long time cometh the lord of those servants, and taketh reckoning with them; Mt. 25:19
- and he who did receive the five talents having come, brought other five talents, saying, `Sir, five talents thou didst deliver to me; lo, other five talents did I gain besides them. Mt. 25:20
- `And his lord said to him, Well done, servant, good and faithful, over a few things thou wast faithful, over many things I will set thee; enter into the joy of thy lord. Mt. 25:21
- `And he who also did receive the two talents having come, said, Sir, two talents thou didst deliver to me; lo, other two talents I did gain besides them. Mt. 25:22
- `His lord said to him, Well done, servant, good and faithful, over a few things thou wast faithful, over many things I will set thee; enter into the joy of thy lord. Mt. 25:23
- `And he also who hath received the one talent having come, said, Sir, I knew thee, that thou art a hard man, reaping where thou didst not sow, and gathering from whence thou didst not scatter; Mt. 25:24
- and having been afraid, having gone away, I hid thy talent in the earth; lo, thou hast thine own! Mt. 25:25
- it behoved thee then to put my money to the money-lenders, and having come I had received mine own with increase. Mt. 25:27
- `Take therefore from him the talent, and give to him having the ten talents, Mt. 25:28
- and the unprofitable servant cast ye forth to the outer darkness; there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of the teeth. Mt. 25:30
- `And whenever the Son of Man may come in his glory, and all the holy messengers with him, then he shall sit upon a throne of his glory; Mt. 25:31
- and gathered together before him shall be all the nations, and he shall separate them from one another, as the shepherd doth separate the sheep from the goats, Mt. 25:32
- and he shall set the sheep indeed on his right hand, and the goats on the left. Mt. 25:33
- `Then shall the king say to those on his right hand, Come ye, the blessed of my Father, inherit the reign that hath been prepared for you from the foundation of the world; Mt. 25:34
- `Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when did we see thee hungering, and we nourished? or thirsting, and we gave to drink? Mt. 25:37
- `And the king answering, shall say to them, Verily I say to you, Inasmuch as ye did it to one of these my brethren -- the least -- to me ye did it. Mt. 25:40
- Then shall he say also to those on the left hand, Go ye from me, the cursed, to the fire, the age-during, that hath been prepared for the Devil and his messengers; Mt. 25:41
- `Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say to you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of these, the least, ye did it not to me. Mt. 25:45
- And these shall go away to punishment age-during, but the righteous to life age-during.' Mt. 25:46
- `Ye have known that after two days the passover cometh, and the Son of Man is delivered up to be crucified.' Mt. 26:2
- Then were gathered together the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders of the people, to the court of the chief priest who was called Caiaphas; Mt. 26:3
- and they said, `Not in the feast, that there may not be a tumult among the people.' Mt. 26:5
- And Jesus having been in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper, Mt. 26:6
- for this ointment could have been sold for much, and given to the poor.' Mt. 26:9
- And Jesus having known, said to them, `Why do ye give trouble to the woman? for a good work she wrought for me; Mt. 26:10
- for the poor always ye have with you, and me ye have not always; Mt. 26:11
- Verily I say to you, Wherever this good news may be proclaimed in the whole world, what this one did shall also be spoken of -- for a memorial of her.' Mt. 26:13
- Then one of the twelve, who is called Judas Iscariot, having gone unto the chief priests, Mt. 26:14
- And on the first day of the unleavened food came the disciples near to Jesus, saying to him, `Where wilt thou that we may prepare for thee to eat the passover?' Mt. 26:17
- and he said, `Go away to the city, unto such a one, and say to him, The Teacher saith, My time is nigh; near thee I keep the passover, with my disciples;' Mt. 26:18
- and the disciples did as Jesus appointed them, and prepared the passover. Mt. 26:19
- And evening having come, he was reclining (at meat) with the twelve, Mt. 26:20
- And he answering said, `He who did dip with me the hand in the dish, he will deliver me up; Mt. 26:23
- the Son of Man doth indeed go, as it hath been written concerning him, but wo to that man through whom the Son of Man is delivered up! good it were for him if that man had not been born.' Mt. 26:24
- And while they were eating, Jesus having taken the bread, and having blessed, did brake, and was giving to the disciples, and said, `Take, eat, this is my body;' Mt. 26:26
- and having taken the cup, and having given thanks, he gave to them, saying, `Drink ye of it -- all; Mt. 26:27
- for this is my blood of the new covenant, that for many is being poured out -- to remission of sins; Mt. 26:28
- and I say to you, that I may not drink henceforth on this produce of the vine, till that day when I may drink it with you new in the reign of my Father.' Mt. 26:29
- And having sung a hymn, they went forth to the mount of the Olives; Mt. 26:30
- then saith Jesus to them, `All ye shall be stumbled at me this night; for it hath been written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered abroad; Mt. 26:31
- Peter saith to him, `Even if it may be necessary for me to die with thee, I will not deny thee;' in like manner also said all the disciples. Mt. 26:35
- Then come with them doth Jesus to a place called Gethsemane, and he saith to the disciples, `Sit ye here, till having gone away, I shall pray yonder.' Mt. 26:36
- And having taken Peter, and the two sons of Zebedee, he began to be sorrowful, and to be very heavy; Mt. 26:37
- And he cometh unto the disciples, and findeth them sleeping, and he saith to Peter, `So! ye were not able one hour to watch with me! Mt. 26:40
- watch, and pray, that ye may not enter into temptation: the spirit indeed is forward, but the flesh weak.' Mt. 26:41
- And having left them, having gone away again, he prayed a third time, saying the same word; Mt. 26:44
- then cometh he unto his disciples, and saith to them, `Sleep on henceforth, and rest! lo, the hour hath come nigh, and the Son of Man is delivered up to the hands of sinners. Mt. 26:45
- And while he is yet speaking, lo, Judas, one of the twelve did come, and with him a great multitude, with swords and sticks, from the chief priests and elders of the people. Mt. 26:47
- And lo, one of those with Jesus, having stretched forth the hand, drew his sword, and having struck the servant of the chief priest, he took off his ear. Mt. 26:51
- Then saith Jesus to him, `Turn back thy sword to its place; for all who did take the sword, by the sword shall perish; Mt. 26:52
- how then may the Writings be fulfilled, that thus it behoveth to happen?' Mt. 26:54
- In that hour said Jesus to the multitudes, `As against a robber ye did come forth, with swords and sticks, to take me! daily with you I was sitting teaching in the temple, and ye did not lay hold on me; Mt. 26:55
- but all this hath come to pass, that the Writings of the prophets may be fulfilled;' then all the disciples, having left him, fled. Mt. 26:56
- And those laying hold on Jesus led him away unto Caiaphas the chief priest, where the scribes and the elders were gathered together, Mt. 26:57
- and Peter was following him afar off, unto the court of the chief priest, and having gone in within, he was sitting with the officers, to see the end. Mt. 26:58
- And the chief priests, and the elders, and all the council, were seeking false witness against Jesus, that they might put him to death, Mt. 26:59
- said, `This one said, I am able to throw down the sanctuary of God, and after three days to build it.' Mt. 26:61
- And the chief priest having stood up, said to him, `Nothing thou dost answer! what do these witness against thee? Mt. 26:62
- and Jesus was silent. And the chief priest answering said to him, `I adjure thee, by the living God, that thou mayest say to us, if thou art the Christ -- the Son of God.' Mt. 26:63
- Jesus saith to him, `Thou hast said; nevertheless I say to you, hereafter ye shall see the Son of Man sitting on the right hand of the power, and coming upon the clouds, of the heaven.' Mt. 26:64
- Then the chief priest rent his garments, saying, -- `He hath spoken evil; what need have we yet of witnesses? lo, now ye heard his evil speaking; Mt. 26:65
- And Peter without was sitting in the court, and there came near to him a certain maid, saying, `And thou wast with Jesus of Galilee!' Mt. 26:69
- And he having gone forth to the porch, another female saw him, and saith to those there, `And this one was with Jesus of Nazareth;' Mt. 26:71
- and again did he deny with an oath -- `I have not known the man.' Mt. 26:72
- Then began he to anathematise, and to swear -- `I have not known the man;' and immediately did a cock crow, Mt. 26:74
- and Peter remembered the saying of Jesus, he having said to him -- `Before cock-crowing, thrice thou wilt deny me;' and having gone without, he did weep bitterly. Mt. 26:75
- And morning having come, all the chief priests and the elders of the people took counsel against Jesus, so as to put him to death; Mt. 27:1
- and having bound him, they did lead away, and delivered him up to Pontius Pilate, the governor. Mt. 27:2
- Then Judas -- he who delivered him up -- having seen that he was condemned, having repented, brought back the thirty silverlings to the chief priests, and to the elders, saying, Mt. 27:3
- and having cast down the silverlings in the sanctuary, he departed, and having gone away, he did strangle himself. Mt. 27:5
- And the chief priests having taken the silverlings, said, `It is not lawful to put them to the treasury, seeing it is the price of blood;' Mt. 27:6
- and having taken counsel, they bought with them the field of the potter, for the burial of strangers; Mt. 27:7
- Then was fulfilled that spoken through Jeremiah the prophet, saying, `And I took the thirty silverlings, the price of him who hath been priced, whom they of the sons of Israel did price, Mt. 27:9
- and gave them for the field of the potter, as the Lord did appoint to me.' Mt. 27:10
- And Jesus stood before the governor, and the governor did question him, saying, `Art thou the king of the Jews!' And Jesus said to him, `Thou sayest.' Mt. 27:11
- And in his being accused by the chief priests and the elders, he did not answer any thing, Mt. 27:12
- And he did not answer him, not even to one word, so that the governor did wonder greatly. Mt. 27:14
- And at the feast the governor had been accustomed to release one to the multitude, a prisoner, whom they willed, Mt. 27:15
- And as he is sitting on the tribunal, his wife sent unto him, saying, `Nothing -- to thee and to that righteous one, for many things did I suffer to-day in a dream because of him.' Mt. 27:19
- And the chief priests and the elders did persuade the multitudes that they might ask for themselves Barabbas, and might destroy Jesus; Mt. 27:20
- and the governor answering said to them, `Which of the two will ye that I shall release to you?' And they said, `Barabbas.' Mt. 27:21
- And the governor said, `Why, what evil did he?' and they were crying out the more, saying, `Let be crucified.' Mt. 27:23
- And Pilate having seen that it profiteth nothing, but rather a tumult is made, having taken water, he did wash the hands before the multitude, saying, `I am innocent from the blood of this righteous one; ye -- ye shall see;' Mt. 27:24
- and all the people answering said, `His blood is upon us, and upon our children!' Mt. 27:25
- then the soldiers of the governor having taken Jesus to the Praetorium, did gather to him all the band; Mt. 27:27
- and having plaited him a crown out of thorns they put it on his head, and a reed in his right hand, and having kneeled before him, they were mocking him, saying, `Hail, the king of the Jews.' Mt. 27:29
- And having spit on him, they took the reed, and were smiting on his head; Mt. 27:30
- and when they had mocked him, they took off from him the cloak, and put on him his own garments, and led him away to crucify him. Mt. 27:31
- And having crucified him, they divided his garments, casting a lot, that it might be fulfilled that was spoken by the prophet, `They divided my garments to themselves, and over my vesture they cast a lot;' Mt. 27:35
- and they put up over his head, his accusation written, `This is Jesus, the king of the Jews.' Mt. 27:37
- Then crucified with him are two robbers, one on the right hand, and one on the left, Mt. 27:38
- and saying, `Thou that art throwing down the sanctuary, and in three days building it, save thyself; if Son thou art of God, come down from the cross.' Mt. 27:40
- And in like manner also the chief priests mocking, with the scribes and elders, said, Mt. 27:41
- `Others he saved; himself he is not able to save! If he be King of Israel, let him come down now from the cross, and we will believe him; Mt. 27:42
- with the same also the robbers, who were crucified with him, were reproaching him. Mt. 27:44
- And from the sixth hour darkness came over all the land unto the ninth hour, Mt. 27:45
- and about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a great voice, saying, `Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?' that is, `My God, my God, why didst Thou forsake me?' Mt. 27:46
- but the rest said, `Let alone, let us see if Elijah doth come -- about to save him.' Mt. 27:49
- And Jesus having again cried with a great voice, yielded the spirit; Mt. 27:50
- and lo, the vail of the sanctuary was rent in two from top unto bottom, and the earth did quake, and the rocks were rent, Mt. 27:51
- and the tombs were opened, and many bodies of the saints who have fallen asleep, arose, Mt. 27:52
- and having come forth out of the tombs after his rising, they went into the holy city, and appeared to many. Mt. 27:53
- And the centurion, and those with him watching Jesus, having seen the earthquake, and the things that were done, were exceedingly afraid, saying, `Truly this was God's Son.' Mt. 27:54
- among whom was Mary the Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and of Joses, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee. Mt. 27:56
- he having gone near to Pilate, asked for himself the body of Jesus; then Pilate commanded the body to be given back. Mt. 27:58
- And having taken the body, Joseph wrapped it in clean linen, Mt. 27:59
- and laid it in his new tomb, that he hewed in the rock, and having rolled a great stone to the door of the tomb, he went away; Mt. 27:60
- and there were there Mary the Magdalene, and the other Mary, sitting over-against the sepulchre. Mt. 27:61
- And on the morrow that is after the preparation, were gathered together the chief priests, and the Pharisees, unto Pilate, Mt. 27:62
- command, then, the sepulchre to be made secure till the third day, lest his disciples, having come by night, may steal him away, and may say to the people, He rose from the dead, and the last deceit shall be worse than the first.' Mt. 27:64
- and they, having gone, did make the sepulchre secure, having sealed the stone, together with the watch. Mt. 27:66
- And on the eve of the sabbaths, at the dawn, toward the first of the sabbaths, came Mary the Magdalene, and the other Mary, to see the sepulchre, Mt. 28:1
- and lo, there came a great earthquake, for a messenger of the Lord, having come down out of heaven, having come, did roll away the stone from the door, and was sitting upon it, Mt. 28:2
- and from the fear of him did the keepers shake, and they became as dead men. Mt. 28:4
- And the messenger answering said to the women, `Fear not ye, for I have known that Jesus, who hath been crucified, ye seek; Mt. 28:5
- he is not here, for he rose, as he said; come, see the place where the Lord was lying; Mt. 28:6
- and having gone quickly, say ye to his disciples, that he rose from the dead; and lo, he doth go before you to Galilee, there ye shall see him; lo, I have told you.' Mt. 28:7
- And having gone forth quickly from the tomb, with fear and great joy, they ran to tell to his disciples; Mt. 28:8
- And while they are going on, lo, certain of the watch having come to the city, told to the chief priests all the things that happened, Mt. 28:11
- and having been gathered together with the elders, counsel also having taken, they gave much money to the soldiers, Mt. 28:12
- and if this be heard by the governor, we will persuade him, and you keep free from anxiety.' Mt. 28:14
- And they, having received the money, did as they were taught, and this account was spread abroad among Jews till this day. Mt. 28:15
- And the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mount where Jesus appointed them, Mt. 28:16
- having gone, then, disciple all the nations, (baptizing them -- to the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, Mt. 28:19
- teaching them to observe all, whatever I did command you,) and lo, I am with you all the days -- till the full end of the age.' Mt. 28:20
- A beginning of the good news of Jesus Christ, Son of God. Mk. 1:1
- As it hath been written in the prophets, `Lo, I send My messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee,' -- Mk. 1:2
- `A voice of one calling in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, straight make ye his paths,' -- Mk. 1:3
- John came baptizing in the wilderness, and proclaiming a baptism of reformation -- to remission of sins, Mk. 1:4
- and there were going forth to him all the region of Judea, and they of Jerusalem, and they were all baptized by him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins. Mk. 1:5
- And John was clothed with camel's hair, and a girdle of skin around his loins, and eating locusts and honey of the field, Mk. 1:6
- and he proclaimed, saying, `He doth come -- who is mightier than I -- after me, of whom I am not worthy -- having stooped down -- to loose the latchet of his sandals; Mk. 1:7
- I indeed did baptize you with water, but he shall baptize you with the Holy Spirit.' Mk. 1:8
- And it came to pass in those days, Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized by John at the Jordan; Mk. 1:9
- and immediately coming up from the water, he saw the heavens dividing, and the Spirit as a dove coming down upon him; Mk. 1:10
- and a voice came out of the heavens, `Thou art My Son -- the Beloved, in whom I did delight.' Mk. 1:11
- And immediately doth the Spirit put him forth to the wilderness, Mk. 1:12
- and he was there in the wilderness forty days, being tempted by the Adversary, and he was with the beasts, and the messengers were ministering to him. Mk. 1:13
- And after the delivering up of John, Jesus came to Galilee, proclaiming the good news of the reign of God, Mk. 1:14
- and saying -- `Fulfilled hath been the time, and the reign of God hath come nigh, reform ye, and believe in the good news.' Mk. 1:15
- And, walking by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon, and Andrew his brother, casting a drag into the sea, for they were fishers, Mk. 1:16
- And having gone on thence a little, he saw James of Zebedee, and John his brother, and they were in the boat refitting the nets, Mk. 1:19
- and immediately he called them, and, having left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired servants, they went away after him. Mk. 1:20
- And they go on to Capernaum, and immediately, on the sabbaths, having gone into the synagogue, he was teaching, Mk. 1:21
- and they were astonished at his teaching, for he was teaching them as having authority, and not as the scribes. Mk. 1:22
- saying, `Away! what -- to us and to thee, Jesus the Nazarene? thou didst come to destroy us; I have known thee who thou art -- the Holy One of God.' Mk. 1:24
- and the unclean spirit having torn him, and having cried with a great voice, came forth out of him, Mk. 1:26
- and they were all amazed, so as to reason among themselves, saying, `What is this? what new teaching is this? that with authority also the unclean spirits he commandeth, and they obey him!' Mk. 1:27
- And the fame of him went forth immediately to all the region, round about, of Galilee. Mk. 1:28
- And immediately, having come forth out of the synagogue, they went to the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John, Mk. 1:29
- and the mother-in-law of Simon was lying fevered, and immediately they tell him about her, Mk. 1:30
- and having come near, he raised her up, having laid hold of her hand, and the fever left her immediately, and she was ministering to them. Mk. 1:31
- And evening having come, when the sun did set, they brought unto him all who were ill, and who were demoniacs, Mk. 1:32
- and the whole city was gathered together near the door, Mk. 1:33
- and he healed many who were ill of manifold diseases, and many demons he cast forth, and was not suffering the demons to speak, because they knew him. Mk. 1:34
- and he saith to them, `We may go to the next towns, that there also I may preach, for for this I came forth.' Mk. 1:38
- And he was preaching in their synagogues, in all Galilee, and is casting out the demons, Mk. 1:39
- And Jesus having been moved with compassion, having stretched forth the hand, touched him, and saith to him, `I will; be thou cleansed;' Mk. 1:41
- and he having spoken, immediately the leprosy went away from him, and he was cleansed. Mk. 1:42
- and saith to him, `See thou mayest say nothing to any one, but go away, thyself shew to the priest, and bring near for thy cleansing the things Moses directed, for a testimony to them.' Mk. 1:44
- And he, having gone forth, began to proclaim much, and to spread abroad the thing, so that no more he was able openly to enter into the city, but he was without in desert places, and they were coming unto him from every quarter. Mk. 1:45
- And again he entered into Capernaum, after some days, and it was heard that he is in the house, Mk. 2:1
- and immediately many were gathered together, so that there was no more room, not even at the door, and he was speaking to them the word. Mk. 2:2
- and not being able to come near to him because of the multitude, they uncovered the roof where he was, and, having broken it up, they let down the couch on which the paralytic was lying, Mk. 2:4
- and Jesus having seen their faith, saith to the paralytic, `Child, thy sins have been forgiven thee.' Mk. 2:5
- And there were certain of the scribes there sitting, and reasoning in their hearts, Mk. 2:6
- which is easier, to say to the paralytic, The sins have been forgiven to thee? or to say, Rise, and take up thy couch, and walk? Mk. 2:9
- `And, that ye may know that the Son of Man hath authority on the earth to forgive sins -- (he saith to the paralytic) -- Mk. 2:10
- and he rose immediately, and having taken up the couch, he went forth before all, so that all were astonished, and do glorify God, saying -- `Never thus did we see.' Mk. 2:12
- And he went forth again by the sea, and all the multitude was coming unto him, and he was teaching them, Mk. 2:13
- and passing by, he saw Levi of Alpheus sitting at the tax-office, and saith to him, `Be following me,' and he, having risen, did follow him. Mk. 2:14
- And the scribes and the Pharisees, having seen him eating with the tax-gatherers and sinners, said to his disciples, `Why -- that with the tax-gatherers and sinners he doth eat and drink?' Mk. 2:16
- And the disciples of John and those of the Pharisees were fasting, and they come and say to him, `Wherefore do the disciples of John and those of the Pharisees fast, and thy disciples do not fast?' Mk. 2:18
- And Jesus said to them, `Are the sons of the bride-chamber able, while the bridegroom is with them, to fast? so long time as they have the bridegroom with them they are not able to fast; Mk. 2:19
- but days shall come when the bridegroom may be taken from them, and then they shall fast -- in those days. Mk. 2:20
- `And no one a patch of undressed cloth doth sew on an old garment, and if not -- the new filling it up doth take from the old and the rent doth become worse; Mk. 2:21
- and no one doth put new wine into old skins, and if not -- the new wine doth burst the skins, and the wine is poured out, and the skins will be destroyed; but new wine into new skins is to be put.' Mk. 2:22
- And it came to pass -- he is going along on the sabbaths through the corn-fields -- and his disciples began to make a way, plucking the ears, Mk. 2:23
- and the Pharisees said to him, `Lo, why do they on the sabbaths that which is not lawful?' Mk. 2:24
- how he went into the house of God, (at `Abiathar the chief priest,') and the loaves of the presentation did eat, which it is not lawful to eat, except to the priests, and he gave also to those who were with him?' Mk. 2:26
- And he said to them, `The sabbath for man was made, not man for the sabbath, Mk. 2:27
- so that the son of man is lord also of the sabbath.' Mk. 2:28
- And he entered again into the synagogue, and there was there a man having the hand withered, Mk. 3:1
- and they were watching him, whether on the sabbaths he will heal him, that they might accuse him. Mk. 3:2
- And he saith to the man having the hand withered, `Rise up in the midst.' Mk. 3:3
- And he saith to them, `Is it lawful on the sabbaths to do good, or to do evil? life to save, or to kill?' but they were silent. Mk. 3:4
- And having looked round upon them with anger, being grieved for the hardness of their heart, he saith to the man, `Stretch forth thy hand;' and he stretched forth, and his hand was restored whole as the other; Mk. 3:5
- and the Pharisees having gone forth, immediately, with the Herodians, were taking counsel against him how they might destroy him. Mk. 3:6
- And Jesus withdrew with his disciples unto the sea, and a great multitude from Galilee followed him, and from Judea, Mk. 3:7
- and from Jerusalem, and from Idumea and beyond the Jordan; and they about Tyre and Sidon -- a great multitude -- having heard how great things he was doing, came unto him. Mk. 3:8
- And he said to his disciples that a little boat may wait on him, because of the multitude, that they may not press upon him, Mk. 3:9
- and the unclean spirits, when they were seeing him, were falling down before him, and were crying, saying -- `Thou art the Son of God;' Mk. 3:11
- And he goeth up to the mountain, and doth call near whom he willed, and they went away to him; Mk. 3:13
- and to have power to heal the sicknesses, and to cast out the demons. Mk. 3:15
- And he put on Simon the name Peter; Mk. 3:16
- and James of Zebedee, and John the brother of James, and he put on them names -- Boanerges, that is, `Sons of thunder;' Mk. 3:17
- and Andrew, and Philip, and Bartholomew, and Matthew, and Thomas, and James of Alpheus, and Thaddeus, and Simon the Cananite, Mk. 3:18
- and the scribes who are from Jerusalem having come down, said -- `He hath Beelzeboul,' and -- `By the ruler of the demons he doth cast out the demons.' Mk. 3:22
- And, having called them near, in similes he said to them, `How is the Adversary able to cast out the Adversary? Mk. 3:23
- and if the Adversary did rise against himself, and hath been divided, he cannot be made to stand, but hath an end. Mk. 3:26
- `No one is able the vessels of the strong man -- having entered into his house -- to spoil, if first he may not bind the strong man, and then his house he will spoil. Mk. 3:27
- `Verily I say to you, that all the sins shall be forgiven to the sons of men, and evil speakings with which they might speak evil, Mk. 3:28
- but whoever may speak evil in regard to the Holy Spirit hath not forgiveness -- to the age, but is in danger of age-during judgment;' Mk. 3:29
- for whoever may 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, and there was gathered unto him a great multitude, so that he, having gone into the boat, sat in the sea, and all the multitude was near the sea, on the land, Mk. 4:1
- `Hearken, lo, the sower went forth to sow; Mk. 4:3
- and it came to pass, in the sowing, some fell by the way, and the fowls of the heaven did come and devour it; Mk. 4:4
- and other fell upon the rocky ground, where it had not much earth, and immediately it sprang forth, because of not having depth of earth, Mk. 4:5
- and the sun having risen, it was scorched, and because of not having root it did wither; Mk. 4:6
- and other fell toward the thorns, and the thorns did come up, and choke it, and fruit it gave not; Mk. 4:7
- and other fell to the good ground, and was giving fruit, coming up and increasing, and it bare, one thirty-fold, and one sixty, and one an hundred.' Mk. 4:8
- And when he was alone, those about him, with the twelve, did ask him of the simile, Mk. 4:10
- and he said to them, `To you it hath been given to know the secret of the reign of God, but to those who are without, in similes are all the things done; Mk. 4:11
- that seeing they may see and not perceive, and hearing they may hear and not understand, lest they may turn, and the sins may be forgiven them.' Mk. 4:12
- And he saith to them, `Have ye not known this simile? and how shall ye know all the similes? Mk. 4:13
- He who is sowing doth sow the word; Mk. 4:14
- and these are they by the way where the word is sown: and whenever they may hear, immediately cometh the Adversary, and he taketh away the word that hath been sown in their hearts. Mk. 4:15
- `And these are they, in like manner, who on the rocky ground are sown: who, whenever they may hear the word, immediately with joy do receive it, Mk. 4:16
- and have not root in themselves, but are temporary; afterward tribulation or persecution having come because of the word, immediately they are stumbled. Mk. 4:17
- `And these are they who toward the thorns are sown: these are they who are hearing the word, Mk. 4:18
- and the anxieties of this age, and the deceitfulness of the riches, and the desires concerning the other things, entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful. Mk. 4:19
- `And these are they who on the good ground have been sown: who do hear the word, and receive, and do bear fruit, one thirty-fold, and one sixty, and one an hundred.' Mk. 4:20
- And he said to them, `Doth the lamp come that under the measure it may be put, or under the couch -- not that it may be put on the lamp-stand? Mk. 4:21
- And he said, `Thus is the reign of God: as if a man may cast the seed on the earth, Mk. 4:26
- and may sleep, and may rise night and day, and the seed spring up and grow, he hath not known how; Mk. 4:27
- for of itself doth the earth bear fruit, first a blade, afterwards an ear, afterwards full corn in the ear; Mk. 4:28
- and whenever the fruit may yield itself, immediately he doth send forth the sickle, because the harvest hath come.' Mk. 4:29
- And he said, `To what may we liken the reign of God, or in what simile may we compare it? Mk. 4:30
- As a grain of mustard, which, whenever it may be sown on the earth, is less than any of the seeds that are on the earth; Mk. 4:31
- and whenever it may be sown, it cometh up, and doth become greater than any of the herbs, and doth make great branches, so that under its shade the fowls of the heaven are able to rest.' Mk. 4:32
- And with many such similes he was speaking to them the word, as they were able to hear, Mk. 4:33
- And he saith to them on that day, evening having come, `We may pass over to the other side;' Mk. 4:35
- and having let away the multitude, they take him up as he was in the boat, and other little boats also were with him. Mk. 4:36
- And there cometh a great storm of wind, and the waves were beating on the boat, so that it is now being filled, Mk. 4:37
- and he himself was upon the stern, upon the pillow sleeping, and they wake him up, and say to him, `Teacher, art thou not caring that we perish?' Mk. 4:38
- And having waked up, he rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, `Peace, be stilled;' and the wind did lull, and there was a great calm: Mk. 4:39
- and they feared a great fear, and said one to another, `Who, then, is this, that even the wind and the sea do obey him?' Mk. 4:41
- And they came to the other side of the sea, to the region of the Gadarenes, Mk. 5:1
- and he having come forth out of the boat, immediately there met him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit, Mk. 5:2
- who had his dwelling in the tombs, and not even with chains was any one able to bind him, Mk. 5:3
- because that he many times with fetters and chains had been bound, and pulled in pieces by him had been the chains, and the fetters broken in pieces, and none was able to tame him, Mk. 5:4
- and always, night and day, in the mountains, and in the tombs he was, crying and cutting himself with stones. Mk. 5:5
- and having called with a loud voice, he said, `What -- to me and to thee, Jesus, Son of God the Most High? I adjure thee by God, mayest thou not afflict me!' Mk. 5:7
- (for he said to him, `Come forth, spirit unclean, out of the man,') Mk. 5:8
- and he was calling on him much, that he may not send them out of the region. Mk. 5:10
- And there was there, near the mountains, a great herd of swine feeding, Mk. 5:11
- and all the demons did call upon him, saying, `Send us to the swine, that into them we may enter;' Mk. 5:12
- and immediately Jesus gave them leave, and having come forth, the unclean spirits did enter into the swine, and the herd did rush down the steep place to the sea -- and they were about two thousand -- and they were choked in the sea. Mk. 5:13
- And those feeding the swine did flee, and told in the city, and in the fields, and they came forth to see what it is that hath been done; Mk. 5:14
- and they come unto Jesus, and see the demoniac, sitting, and clothed, and right-minded -- him having had the legion -- and they were afraid; Mk. 5:15
- and those having seen it, declared to them how it had come to pass to the demoniac, and about the swine; Mk. 5:16
- And he having gone into the boat, the demoniac was calling on him that he may be with him, Mk. 5:18
- and Jesus did not suffer him, but saith to him, `Go away to thy house, unto thine own friends, and tell them how great things the Lord did to thee, and dealt kindly with thee; Mk. 5:19
- and he went away, and began to proclaim in the Decapolis how great things Jesus did to him, and all were wondering. Mk. 5:20
- And Jesus having passed over in the boat again to the other side, there was gathered a great multitude to him, and he was near the sea, Mk. 5:21
- and lo, there doth come one of the chiefs of the synagogue, by name Jairus, and having seen him, he doth fall at his feet, Mk. 5:22
- and he was calling upon him much, saying -- `My little daughter is at the last extremity -- that having come, thou mayest lay on her thy hands, so that she may be saved, and she shall live;' Mk. 5:23
- and many things having suffered under many physicians, and having spent all that she had, and having profited nothing, but rather having come to the worse, Mk. 5:26
- having heard about Jesus, having come in the multitude behind, she touched his garment, Mk. 5:27
- and immediately was the fountain of her blood dried up, and she knew in the body that she hath been healed of the plague. Mk. 5:29
- And immediately Jesus having known in himself that out of him power had gone forth, having turned about in the multitude, said, `Who did touch my garments?' Mk. 5:30
- and his disciples said to him, `Thou seest the multitude thronging thee, and thou sayest, `Who did touch me!' Mk. 5:31
- and the woman, having been afraid, and trembling, knowing what was done on her, came, and fell down before him, and told him all the truth, Mk. 5:33
- As he is yet speaking, there come from the chief of the synagogue's house, certain, saying -- `Thy daughter did die, why still dost thou harass the Teacher?' Mk. 5:35
- And Jesus immediately, having heard the word that is spoken, saith to the chief of the synagogue, `Be not afraid, only believe.' Mk. 5:36
- And he did not suffer any one to follow with him, except Peter, and James, and John the brother of James; Mk. 5:37
- and he cometh to the house of the chief of the synagogue, and seeth a tumult, much weeping and wailing; Mk. 5:38
- and having gone in he saith to them, `Why do ye make a tumult, and weep? the child did not die, but doth sleep; Mk. 5:39
- and they were laughing at him. And he, having put all forth, doth take the father of the child, and the mother, and those with him, and goeth in where the child is lying, Mk. 5:40
- and, having taken the hand of the child, he saith to her, `Talitha cumi;' which is, being interpreted, `Damsel (I say to thee), arise.' Mk. 5:41
- And immediately the damsel arose, and was walking, for she was twelve years old; and they were amazed with a great amazement, Mk. 5:42
- and sabbath having come, he began in the synagogue to teach, and many hearing were astonished, saying, `Whence hath this one these things? and what the wisdom that was given to him, that also such mighty works through his hands are done? Mk. 6:2
- Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, and brother of James, and Joses, and Judas, and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us?' -- and they were being stumbled at him. Mk. 6:3
- and he wondered because of their unbelief. And he was going round the villages, in a circle, teaching, Mk. 6:6
- and he doth call near the twelve, and he began to send them forth two by two, and he was giving them power over the unclean spirits, Mk. 6:7
- and he commanded them that they may take nothing for the way, except a staff only -- no scrip, no bread, no brass in the girdle, Mk. 6:8
- and as many as may not receive you, nor hear you, going out thence, shake off the dust that is under your feet for a testimony to them; verily I say to you, It shall be more tolerable for Sodom or Gomorrah in a day of judgment than for that city.' Mk. 6:11
- And the king Herod heard, (for his name became public,) and he said -- `John the Baptist out of the dead was raised, and because of this the mighty powers are working in him.' Mk. 6:14
- Others said -- `It is Elijah,' and others said -- `It is a prophet, or as one of the prophets.' Mk. 6:15
- And Herod having heard, said -- `He whom I did behead -- John -- this is he; he was raised out of the dead.' Mk. 6:16
- For Herod himself, having sent forth, did lay hold on John, and bound him in the prison, because of Herodias the wife of Philip his brother, because he married her, Mk. 6:17
- for John said to Herod -- `It is not lawful to thee to have the wife of thy brother;' Mk. 6:18
- And a seasonable day having come, when Herod on his birthday was making a supper to his great men, and to the chiefs of thousands, and to the first men of Galilee, Mk. 6:21
- and the daughter of that Herodias having come in, and having danced, and having pleased Herod and those reclining (at meat) with him, the king said to the damsel, `Ask of me whatever thou wilt, and I will give to thee,' Mk. 6:22
- and he sware to her -- `Whatever thou mayest ask me, I will give to thee -- unto the half of my kingdom.' Mk. 6:23
- And she, having gone forth, said to her mother, `What shall I ask for myself?' and she said, `The head of John the Baptist;' Mk. 6:24
- and having come in immediately with haste unto the king, she asked, saying, `I will that thou mayest give me presently, upon a plate, the head of John the Baptist.' Mk. 6:25
- And the king -- made very sorrowful -- because of the oaths and of those reclining (at meat) with him, would not put her away, Mk. 6:26
- and immediately the king having sent a guardsman, did command his head to be brought, and he having gone, beheaded him in the prison, Mk. 6:27
- and brought his head upon a plate, and did give it to the damsel, and the damsel did give it to her mother; Mk. 6:28
- and having heard, his disciples came and took up his corpse, and laid it in the tomb. Mk. 6:29
- And the apostles are gathered together unto Jesus, and they told him all, and how many things they did, and how many things they taught, Mk. 6:30
- and they went away to a desert place, in the boat, by themselves. Mk. 6:32
- And the multitudes saw them going away, and many recognised him, and by land from all the cities they ran thither, and went before them, and came together to him, Mk. 6:33
- And now the hour being advanced, his disciples having come near to him, say, -- `The place is desolate, and the hour is now advanced, Mk. 6:35
- let them away, that, having gone away to the surrounding fields and villages, they may buy to themselves loaves, for what they may eat they have not.' Mk. 6:36
- And he commanded them to make all recline in companies upon the green grass, Mk. 6:39
- And having taken the five loaves and the two fishes, having looked up to the heaven, he blessed, and brake the loaves, and was giving to his disciples, that they may set before them, and the two fishes divided he to all, Mk. 6:41
- and they took up of broken pieces twelve hand-baskets full, and of the fishes, Mk. 6:43
- and those eating of the loaves were about five thousand men. Mk. 6:44
- And immediately he constrained his disciples to go into the boat, and to go before to the other side, unto Bethsaida, till he may let the multitude away, Mk. 6:45
- and having taken leave of them, he went away to the mountain to pray. Mk. 6:46
- And evening having come, the boat was in the midst of the sea, and he alone upon the land; Mk. 6:47
- and he saw them harassed in the rowing, for the wind was against them, and about the fourth watch of the night he doth come to them walking on the sea, and wished to pass by them. Mk. 6:48
- And they having seen him walking on the sea, thought it to be an apparition, and cried out, Mk. 6:49
- And he went up unto them to the boat, and the wind lulled, and greatly out of measure were they amazed in themselves, and were wondering, Mk. 6:51
- for they understood not concerning the loaves, for their heart hath been hard. Mk. 6:52
- And having passed over, they came upon the land of Gennesaret, and drew to the shore, Mk. 6:53
- and they having come forth out of the boat, immediately having recognised him, Mk. 6:54
- having run about through all that region round about, they began upon the couches to carry about those ill, where they were hearing that he is, Mk. 6:55
- and wherever he was going, to villages, or cities, or fields, in the market-places they were laying the infirm, and were calling upon him, that they may touch if it were but the fringe of his garment, and as many as were touching him were saved. Mk. 6:56
- And gathered together unto him are the Pharisees, and certain of the scribes, having come from Jerusalem, Mk. 7:1
- for the Pharisees, and all the Jews, if they do not wash the hands to the wrist, do not eat, holding the tradition of the elders, Mk. 7:3
- and, coming from the market-place, if they do not baptize themselves, they do not eat; and many other things there are that they received to hold, baptisms of cups, and pots, and brazen vessels, and couches. Mk. 7:4
- Then question him do the Pharisees and the scribes, `Wherefore do thy disciples not walk according to the tradition of the elders, but with unwashed hands do eat the bread?' Mk. 7:5
- and he answering said to them -- `Well did Isaiah prophesy concerning you, hypocrites, as it hath been written, This people with the lips doth honor Me, and their heart is far from Me; Mk. 7:6
- for, having put away the command of God, ye hold the tradition of men, baptisms of pots and cups; and many other such like things ye do.' Mk. 7:8
- And he said to them, `Well do ye put away the command of God that your tradition ye may keep; Mk. 7:9
- for Moses said, Honour thy father and thy mother; and, He who is speaking evil of father or mother -- let him die the death; Mk. 7:10
- setting aside the word of God for your tradition that ye delivered; and many such like things ye do.' Mk. 7:13
- And having called near all the multitude, he said to them, `Hearken to me, ye all, and understand; Mk. 7:14
- there is nothing from without the man entering into him that is able to defile him, but the things coming out from him, those are the things defiling the man. Mk. 7:15
- And when he entered into a house from the multitude, his disciples were questioning him about the simile, Mk. 7:17
- and he saith to them, `So also ye are without understanding! Do ye not perceive that nothing from without entering into the man is able to defile him? Mk. 7:18
- because it doth not enter into his heart, but into the belly, and into the drain it doth go out, purifying all the meats.' Mk. 7:19
- And he said -- `That which is coming out from the man, that doth defile the man; Mk. 7:20
- for from within, out of the heart of men, the evil reasonings do come forth, adulteries, whoredoms, murders, Mk. 7:21
- all these evils do come forth from within, and they defile the man.' Mk. 7:23
- And from thence having risen, he went away to the borders of Tyre and Sidon, and having entered into the house, he wished none to know, and he was not able to be hid, Mk. 7:24
- and the woman was a Greek, a Syro-Phenician by nation -- and was asking him, that the demon he may cast forth out of her daughter. Mk. 7:26
- And Jesus said to her, `Suffer first the children to be filled, for it is not good to take the children's bread, and to cast it to the little dogs.' Mk. 7:27
- And she answered and saith to him, `Yes, sir; for the little dogs also under the table do eat of the children's crumbs.' Mk. 7:28
- And he said to her, `Because of this word go; the demon hath gone forth out of thy daughter;' Mk. 7:29
- and having come away to her house, she found the demon gone forth, and the daughter laid upon the couch. Mk. 7:30
- And again, having gone forth from the coasts of Tyre and Sidon, he came unto the sea of Galilee, through the midst of the coasts of Decapolis, Mk. 7:31
- and they bring to him a deaf, stuttering man, and they call on him that he may put the hand on him. Mk. 7:32
- And having taken him away from the multitude by himself, he put his fingers to his ears, and having spit, he touched his tongue, Mk. 7:33
- and having looked to the heaven, he sighed, and saith to him, `Ephphatha,' that is, `Be thou opened;' Mk. 7:34
- and immediately were his ears opened, and the string of his tongue was loosed, and he was speaking plain. Mk. 7:35
- And he charged them that they may tell no one, but the more he was charging them, the more abundantly they were proclaiming it, Mk. 7:36
- and they were being beyond measure astonished, saying, `Well hath he done all things; both the deaf he doth make to hear, and the dumb to speak.' Mk. 7:37
- In those days the multitude being very great, and not having what they may eat, Jesus having called near his disciples, saith to them, Mk. 8:1
- `I have compassion upon the multitude, because now three days they do continue with me, and they have not what they may eat; Mk. 8:2
- and if I shall let them away fasting to their home, they will faint in the way, for certain of them are come from far.' Mk. 8:3
- And he commanded the multitude to sit down upon the ground, and having taken the seven loaves, having given thanks, he brake, and was giving to his disciples that they may set before them; and they did set before the multitude. Mk. 8:6
- and immediately having entered into the boat with his disciples, he came to the parts of Dalmanutha, Mk. 8:10
- and the Pharisees came forth, and began to dispute with him, seeking from him a sign from the heaven, tempting him; Mk. 8:11
- And having left them, having entered again into the boat, he went away to the other side; Mk. 8:13
- and they forgot to take loaves, and except one loaf they had nothing with them in the boat, Mk. 8:14
- and he was charging them, saying, `Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and of the leaven of Herod,' Mk. 8:15
- When the five loaves I did brake to the five thousand, how many hand-baskets full of broken pieces took ye up?' they say to him, `Twelve.' Mk. 8:19
- `And when the seven to the four thousand, how many hand-baskets full of broken pieces took ye up?' and they said, `Seven.' Mk. 8:20
- and having taken the hand of the blind man, he led him forth without the village, and having spit on his eyes, having put his hands on him, he was questioning him if he doth behold anything: Mk. 8:23
- and he sent him away to his house, saying, `Neither to the village mayest thou go, nor tell it to any in the village.' Mk. 8:26
- And Jesus went forth, and his disciples, to the villages of Cesarea Philippi, and in the way he was questioning his disciples, saying to them, `Who do men say me to be?' Mk. 8:27
- And they answered, `John the Baptist, and others Elijah, but others one of the prophets.' Mk. 8:28
- And he saith to them, `And ye -- who do ye say me to be?' and Peter answering saith to him, `Thou art the Christ.' Mk. 8:29
- and began to teach them, that it behoveth the Son of Man to suffer many things, and to be rejected by the elders, and chief priests, and scribes, and to be killed, and after three days to rise again; Mk. 8:31
- and openly he was speaking the word. And Peter having taken him aside, began to rebuke him, Mk. 8:32
- and he, having turned, and having looked on his disciples, rebuked Peter, saying, `Get behind me, Adversary, because thou dost not mind the things of God, but the things of men.' Mk. 8:33
- And having called near the multitude, with his disciples, he said to them, `Whoever doth will to come after me -- let him disown himself, and take up his cross, and follow me; Mk. 8:34
- for whoever may will to save his life shall lose it; and whoever may lose his life for my sake and for the good news' sake, he shall save it; Mk. 8:35
- for what shall it profit a man, if he may gain the whole world, and forfeit his life? Mk. 8:36
- for whoever may be ashamed of me, and of my words, in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man also shall be ashamed of him, when he may come in the glory of his Father, with the holy messengers.' Mk. 8:38
- And he said to them, `Verily I say to you, That there are certain of those standing here, who may not taste of death till they see the reign of God having come in power.' Mk. 9:1
- and his garments became glittering, white exceedingly, as snow, so as a fuller upon the earth is not able to whiten them. Mk. 9:3
- And there came a cloud overshadowing them, and there came a voice out of the cloud, saying, `This is My Son -- the Beloved, hear ye him;' Mk. 9:7
- And as they are coming down from the mount, he charged them that they may declare to no one the things that they saw, except when the Son of Man may rise out of the dead; Mk. 9:9
- and the thing they kept to themselves, questioning together what the rising out of the dead is. Mk. 9:10
- And they were questioning him, saying, that the scribes say that Elijah it behoveth to come first. Mk. 9:11
- And he answering said to them, `Elijah indeed, having come first, doth restore all things; and how hath it been written concerning the Son of Man, that many things he may suffer, and be set at nought? Mk. 9:12
- And having come unto the disciples, he saw a great multitude about them, and scribes questioning with them, Mk. 9:14
- and immediately, all the multitude having seen him, were amazed, and running near, were saluting him. Mk. 9:15
- And he questioned the scribes, `What dispute ye with them?' Mk. 9:16
- and one out of the multitude answering said, `Teacher, I brought my son unto thee, having a dumb spirit; Mk. 9:17
- and they brought him unto him, and he having seen him, immediately the spirit tare him, and he, having fallen upon the earth, was wallowing -- foaming. Mk. 9:20
- And Jesus said to him, `If thou art able to believe! all things are possible to the one that is believing;' Mk. 9:23
- and immediately the father of the child, having cried out, with tears said, `I believe, sir; be helping mine unbelief.' Mk. 9:24
- Jesus having seen that a multitude doth run together, rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it, `Spirit -- dumb and deaf -- I charge thee, come forth out of him, and no more thou mayest enter into him;' Mk. 9:25
- but Jesus, having taken him by the hand, lifted him up, and he arose. Mk. 9:27
- And he having come into the house, his disciples were questioning him by himself -- `Why were we not able to cast it forth?' Mk. 9:28
- for he was teaching his disciples, and he said to them, `The Son of Man is being delivered to the hands of men, and they shall kill him, and having been killed the third day he shall rise,' Mk. 9:31
- but they were not understanding the saying, and they were afraid to question him. Mk. 9:32
- And he came to Capernaum, and being in the house, he was questioning them, `What were ye reasoning in the way among yourselves?' Mk. 9:33
- and they were silent, for with one another they did reason in the way who is greater; Mk. 9:34
- and having sat down he called the twelve, and he saith to them, `If any doth will to be first, he shall be last of all, and minister of all.' Mk. 9:35
- And having taken a child, he set him in the midst of them, and having taken him in his arms, said to them, Mk. 9:36
- and whoever may cause to stumble one of the little ones believing in me, better is it for him if a millstone is hanged about his neck, and he hath been cast into the sea. Mk. 9:42
- `And if thy hand may cause thee to stumble, cut it off; it is better for thee maimed to enter into the life, than having the two hands, to go away to the gehenna, to the fire -- the unquenchable -- Mk. 9:43
- where there worm is not dying, and the fire is not being quenched. Mk. 9:44
- `And if thy foot may cause thee to stumble, cut it off; it is better for thee to enter into the life lame, than having the two feet to be cast to the gehenna, to the fire -- the unquenchable -- Mk. 9:45
- where there worm is not dying, and the fire is not being quenched. Mk. 9:46
- And if thine eye may cause thee to stumble, cast it out; it is better for thee one-eyed to enter into the reign of God, than having two eyes, to be cast to the gehenna of the fire -- Mk. 9:47
- where their worm is not dying, and the fire is not being quenched; Mk. 9:48
- The salt is good, but if the salt may become saltless, in what will ye season it? Have in yourselves salt, and have peace in one another.' Mk. 9:50
- And having risen thence, he doth come to the coasts of Judea, through the other side of the Jordan, and again do multitudes come together unto him, and, as he had been accustomed, again he was teaching them. Mk. 10:1
- And the Pharisees, having come near, questioned him, if it is lawful for a husband to put away a wife, tempting him, Mk. 10:2
- And Jesus answering said to them, `For the stiffness of your heart he wrote you this command, Mk. 10:5
- but from the beginning of the creation, a male and a female God did make them; Mk. 10:6
- and they shall be -- the two -- for one flesh; so that they are no more two, but one flesh; Mk. 10:8
- And in the house again his disciples of the same thing questioned him, Mk. 10:10
- And they were bringing to him children, that he might touch them, and the disciples were rebuking those bringing them, Mk. 10:13
- and Jesus having seen, was much displeased, and he said to them, `Suffer the children to come unto me, and forbid them not, for of such is the reign of God; Mk. 10:14
- verily I say to you, whoever may not receive the reign of God, as a child -- he may not enter into it;' Mk. 10:15
- And as he is going forth into the way, one having run and having kneeled to him, was questioning him, `Good teacher, what may I do, that life age-during I may inherit?' Mk. 10:17
- the commands thou hast known: Thou mayest not commit adultery, Thou mayest do no murder, Thou mayest not steal, Thou mayest not bear false witness, Thou mayest not defraud, Honour thy father and mother.' Mk. 10:19
- And Jesus having looked upon him, did love him, and said to him, `One thing thou dost lack; go away, whatever thou hast -- sell, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven, and come, be following me, having taken up the cross.' Mk. 10:21
- And he -- gloomy at the word -- went away sorrowing, for he was having many possessions. Mk. 10:22
- And Jesus having looked round, saith to his disciples, `How hardly shall they who have riches enter into the reign of God!' Mk. 10:23
- And the disciples were astonished at his words, and Jesus again answering saith to them, `Children, how hard is it to those trusting on the riches to enter into the reign of God! Mk. 10:24
- It is easier for a camel through the eye of the needle to enter, than for a rich man to enter into the reign of God.' Mk. 10:25
- And Jesus answering said, `Verily I say to you, there is no one who left house, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or fields, for my sake, and for the good news', Mk. 10:29
- who may not receive an hundredfold now in this time, houses, and brothers, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and fields, with persecutions, and in the age that is coming, life age-during; Mk. 10:30
- and many first shall be last, and the last first.' Mk. 10:31
- And they were in the way going up to Jerusalem, and Jesus was going before them, and they were amazed, and following they were afraid. And having again taken the twelve, he began to tell them the things about to happen to him, Mk. 10:32
- -- `Lo, we go up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man shall be delivered to the chief priests, and to the scribes, and they shall condemn him to death, and shall deliver him to the nations, Mk. 10:33
- and they shall mock him, and scourge him, and spit on him, and kill him, and the third day he shall rise again.' Mk. 10:34
- And there come near to him James and John, the sons of Zebedee, saying, `Teacher, we wish that whatever we may ask for ourselves, thou mayest do for us;' Mk. 10:35
- and Jesus said to them, `Ye have not known what ye ask; are ye able to drink of the cup that I drink of, and with the baptism that I am baptized with -- to be baptized?' Mk. 10:38
- And they said to him, `We are able;' and Jesus said to them, `Of the cup indeed that I drink of, ye shall drink, and with the baptism that I am baptized with, ye shall be baptized; Mk. 10:39
- And the ten having heard, began to be much displeased at James and John, Mk. 10:41
- but Jesus having called them near, saith to them, `Ye have known that they who are considered to rule the nations do exercise lordship over them, and their great ones do exercise authority upon them; Mk. 10:42
- for even the Son of Man came not to be ministered to, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.' Mk. 10:45
- And they come to Jericho, and as he is going forth from Jericho, with his disciples and a great multitude, a son of Timaeus -- Bartimaeus the blind -- was sitting beside the way begging, Mk. 10:46
- and having heard that it is Jesus the Nazarene, he began to cry out, and to say, `The Son of David -- Jesus! deal kindly with me;' Mk. 10:47
- and many were rebuking him, that he might keep silent, but the more abundantly he cried out, `Son of David, deal kindly with me.' Mk. 10:48
- And Jesus having stood, he commanded him to be called, and they call the blind man, saying to him, `Take courage, rise, he doth call thee;' Mk. 10:49
- And answering, Jesus saith to him, `What wilt thou I may do to thee?' and the blind man said to him, `Rabboni, that I may see again;' Mk. 10:51
- and Jesus said to him, `Go, thy faith hath saved thee:' and immediately he saw again, and was following Jesus in the way. Mk. 10:52
- And when they come nigh to Jerusalem, to Bethphage, and Bethany, unto the mount of the Olives, he sendeth forth two of his disciples, Mk. 11:1
- and saith to them, `Go away to the village that is over-against you, and immediately, entering into it, ye shall find a colt tied, on which no one of men hath sat, having loosed it, bring it: Mk. 11:2
- and if any one may say to you, Why do ye this? say ye that the lord hath need of it, and immediately he will send it hither.' Mk. 11:3
- And they went away, and found the colt tied at the door without, by the two ways, and they loose it, Mk. 11:4
- and certain of those standing there said to them, `What do ye -- loosing the colt?' Mk. 11:5
- And they brought the colt unto Jesus, and did cast upon it their garments, and he sat upon it, Mk. 11:7
- and many did spread their garments in the way, and others were cutting down branches from the trees, and were strewing in the way. Mk. 11:8
- And those going before and those following were crying out, saying, `Hosanna! blessed is he who is coming in the name of the Lord; Mk. 11:9
- blessed is the coming reign, in the name of the Lord, of our father David; Hosanna in the highest.' Mk. 11:10
- And Jesus entered into Jerusalem, and into the temple, and having looked round on all things, it being now evening, he went forth to Bethany with the twelve. Mk. 11:11
- And on the morrow, they having come forth from Bethany, he hungered, Mk. 11:12
- and Jesus answering said to it, `No more from thee -- to the age -- may any eat fruit;' and his disciples were hearing. Mk. 11:14
- And they come to Jerusalem, and Jesus having gone into the temple, began to cast forth those selling and buying in the temple, and the tables of the money-changers and the seats of those selling the doves, he overthrew, Mk. 11:15
- and he did not suffer that any might bear a vessel through the temple, Mk. 11:16
- and he was teaching, saying to them, `Hath it not been written -- My house a house of prayer shall be called for all the nations, and ye did make it a den of robbers?' Mk. 11:17
- And the scribes and the chief priests heard, and they were seeking how they shall destroy him, for they were afraid of him, because all the multitude was astonished at his teaching; Mk. 11:18
- and when evening came, he was going forth without the city. Mk. 11:19
- And in the morning, passing by, they saw the fig-tree having been dried up from the roots, Mk. 11:20
- and Peter having remembered saith to him, `Rabbi, lo, the fig-tree that thou didst curse is dried up.' Mk. 11:21
- for verily I say to you, that whoever may say to this mount, Be taken up, and be cast into the sea, and may not doubt in his heart, but may believe that the things that he saith do come to pass, it shall be to him whatever he may say. Mk. 11:23
- `And whenever ye may stand praying, forgive, if ye have anything against any one, that your Father also who is in the heavens may forgive you your trespasses; Mk. 11:25
- and, if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father who is in the heavens forgive your trespasses.' Mk. 11:26
- And they come again to Jerusalem, and in the temple, as he is walking, there come unto him the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders, Mk. 11:27
- the baptism of John -- from heaven was it? or from men? answer me.' Mk. 11:30
- But if we may say, From men,' -- they were fearing the people, for all were holding John that he was indeed a prophet; Mk. 11:32
- and he sent unto the husbandmen at the due time a servant, that from the husbandmen he may receive from the fruit of the vineyard, Mk. 12:2
- `And again he sent unto them another servant, and at that one having cast stones, they wounded him in the head, and sent away -- dishonoured. Mk. 12:4
- and those husbandmen said among themselves -- This is the heir, come, we may kill him, and ours shall be the inheritance; Mk. 12:7
- and having taken him, they did kill, and cast him forth without the vineyard. Mk. 12:8
- `What therefore shall the lord of the vineyard do? he will come and destroy the husbandmen, and will give the vineyard to others. Mk. 12:9
- And this Writing did ye not read: A stone that the builders rejected, it did become the head of a corner: Mk. 12:10
- from the Lord was this, and it is wonderful in our eyes.' Mk. 12:11
- And they were seeking to lay hold on him, and they feared the multitude, for they knew that against them he spake the simile, and having left him, they went away; Mk. 12:12
- and they send unto him certain of the Pharisees and of the Herodians, that they may ensnare him in discourse, Mk. 12:13
- and they having come, say to him, `Teacher, we have known that thou art true, and thou art not caring for any one, for thou dost not look to the face of men, but in truth the way of God dost teach; is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar or not? Mk. 12:14
- and they brought, and he saith to them, `Whose is this image, and the inscription?' and they said to him, `Caesar's;' Mk. 12:16
- and Jesus answering said to them, `Give back the things of Caesar to Caesar, and the things of God to God;' and they did wonder at him. Mk. 12:17
- And the Sadducees come unto him, who say there is not a rising again, and they questioned him, saying, Mk. 12:18
- `There were then seven brothers, and the first took a wife, and dying, he left no seed; Mk. 12:20
- and the second took her, and died, neither left he seed, and the third in like manner, Mk. 12:21
- and the seven took her, and left no seed, last of all died also the woman; Mk. 12:22
- in the rising again, then, whenever they may rise, of which of them shall she be wife -- for the seven had her as wife?' Mk. 12:23
- And Jesus answering said to them, `Do ye not because of this go astray, not knowing the Writings, nor the power of God? Mk. 12:24
- for when they may rise out of the dead, they neither marry nor are they given in marriage, but are as messengers who are in the heavens. Mk. 12:25
- `And concerning the dead, that they rise: have ye not read in the Book of Moses (at The Bush), how God spake to him, saying, I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob; Mk. 12:26
- he is not the God of dead men, but a God of living men; ye then go greatly astray.' Mk. 12:27
- And one of the scribes having come near, having heard them disputing, knowing that he answered them well, questioned him, `Which is the first command of all?' Mk. 12:28
- and Jesus answered him -- `The first of all the commands is, Hear, O Israel, the Lord is our God, the Lord is one; Mk. 12:29
- and thou shalt love the Lord thy God out of all thy heart, and out of thy soul, and out of all thine understanding, and out of all thy strength -- this is the first command; Mk. 12:30
- and the second is like it, this, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself; -- greater than these there is no other command.' Mk. 12:31
- And the scribe said to him, `Well, Teacher, in truth thou hast spoken that there is one God, and there is none other but He; Mk. 12:32
- and to love Him out of all the heart, and out of all the understanding, and out of all the soul, and out of all the strength, and to love one's neighbor as one's self, is more than all the whole burnt-offerings and the sacrifices.' Mk. 12:33
- And Jesus, having seen him that he answered with understanding, said to him, `Thou art not far from the reign of God;' and no one any more durst question him. Mk. 12:34
- And Jesus answering said, teaching in the temple, `How say the scribes that the Christ is son of David? Mk. 12:35
- for David himself said in the Holy Spirit, The Lord said to my lord, Sit thou on My right hand, till I place thine enemies -- thy footstool; Mk. 12:36
- therefore David himself saith of him Lord, and whence is he his son?' And the great multitude were hearing him gladly, Mk. 12:37
- and he was saying to them in his teaching, `Beware of the scribes, who will in long robes to walk, and love salutations in the market-places, Mk. 12:38
- and first seats in the synagogues, and first couches in suppers, Mk. 12:39
- who are devouring the widows' houses, and for a pretense are making long prayers; these shall receive more abundant judgment.' Mk. 12:40
- And Jesus having sat down over-against the treasury, was beholding how the multitude do put brass into the treasury, and many rich were putting in much, Mk. 12:41
- And having called near his disciples, he saith to them, `Verily I say to you, that this poor widow hath put in more than all those putting into the treasury; Mk. 12:43
- And as he is going forth out of the temple, one of his disciples saith to him, `Teacher, see! what stones! and what buildings!' Mk. 13:1
- And as he is sitting at the mount of the Olives, over-against the temple, Peter, and James, and John, and Andrew, were questioning him by himself, Mk. 13:3
- `Tell us when these things shall be? and what is the sign when all these may be about to be fulfilled?' Mk. 13:4
- and when ye may hear of wars and reports of wars, be not troubled, for these behove to be, but the end is not yet; Mk. 13:7
- and to all the nations it behoveth first that the good news be proclaimed. Mk. 13:10
- `And when they may lead you, delivering up, be not anxious beforehand what ye may speak, nor premeditate, but whatever may be given to you in that hour, that speak ye, for it is not ye who are speaking, but the Holy Spirit. Mk. 13:11
- and ye shall be hated by all because of my name, but he who hath endured to the end -- he shall be saved. Mk. 13:13
- `And when ye may see the abomination of the desolation, that was spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, (whoever is reading let him understand), then those in Judea, let them flee to the mountains; Mk. 13:14
- and he upon the house-top, let him not come down to the house, nor come in to take anything out of his house; Mk. 13:15
- and he who is in the field, let him not turn to the things behind, to take up his garment. Mk. 13:16
- for those days shall be tribulation, such as hath not been from the beginning of the creation that God created, till now, and may not be; Mk. 13:19
- and if the Lord did not shorten the days, no flesh had been saved; but because of the chosen, whom He did choose to Himself, He did shorten the days. Mk. 13:20
- `And then, if any may say to you, Lo, here is the Christ, or, Lo, there, ye may not believe; Mk. 13:21
- for there shall rise false Christs and false prophets, and they shall give signs and wonders, to seduce, if possible, also the chosen; Mk. 13:22
- `But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, Mk. 13:24
- and the stars of the heaven shall be falling, and the powers that are in the heavens shall be shaken. Mk. 13:25
- `And then they shall see the Son of Man coming in clouds with much power and glory, Mk. 13:26
- and then he shall send his messengers, and gather together his chosen from the four winds, from the end of the earth unto the end of heaven. Mk. 13:27
- `And from the fig-tree learn ye the simile: when the branch may already become tender, and may put forth the leaves, ye know that nigh is the summer; Mk. 13:28
- so ye, also, when these ye may see coming to pass, ye know that it is nigh, at the doors. Mk. 13:29
- the heaven and the earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away. Mk. 13:31
- `And concerning that day and the hour no one hath known -- not even the messengers who are in the heaven, not even the Son -- except the Father. Mk. 13:32
- Take heed, watch and pray, for ye have not known when the time is; Mk. 13:33
- as a man who is gone abroad, having left his house, and given to his servants the authority, and to each one his work, did command also the porter that he may watch; Mk. 13:34
- watch ye, therefore, for ye have not known when the lord of the house doth come, at even, or at midnight, or at cock-crowing, or at the morning; Mk. 13:35
- And the passover and the unleavened food were after two days, and the chief priests and the scribes were seeking how, by guile, having taken hold of him, they might kill him; Mk. 14:1
- and they said, `Not in the feast, lest there shall be a tumult of the people.' Mk. 14:2
- And he, being in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper, at his reclining (at meat), there came a woman having an alabaster box of ointment, of spikenard, very precious, and having broken the alabaster box, did pour on his head; Mk. 14:3
- and there were certain much displeased within themselves, and saying, `For what hath this waste of the ointment been made? Mk. 14:4
- for this could have been sold for more than three hundred denaries, and given to the poor;' and they were murmuring at her. Mk. 14:5
- for the poor always ye have with you, and whenever ye may will ye are able to do them good, but me ye have not always; Mk. 14:7
- what she could she did, she anticipated to anoint my body for the embalming. Mk. 14:8
- Verily I say to you, wherever this good news may be proclaimed in the whole world, what also this woman did shall be spoken of -- for a memorial of her.' Mk. 14:9
- And Judas the Iscariot, one of the twelve, went away unto the chief priests that he might deliver him up to them, Mk. 14:10
- And the first day of the unleavened food, when they were killing the passover, his disciples say to him, `Where wilt thou, that, having gone, we may prepare, that thou mayest eat the passover?' Mk. 14:12
- And he sendeth forth two of his disciples, and saith to them, `Go ye away to the city, and there shall meet you a man bearing a pitcher of water, follow him; Mk. 14:13
- and wherever he may go in, say ye to the master of the house -- The Teacher saith, Where is the guest-chamber, where the passover, with my disciples, I may eat? Mk. 14:14
- And his disciples went forth, and came to the city, and found as he said to them, and they made ready the passover. Mk. 14:16
- And evening having come, he cometh with the twelve, Mk. 14:17
- And he answering said to them, `One of the twelve who is dipping with me in the dish; Mk. 14:20
- the Son of Man doth indeed go, as it hath been written concerning him, but wo to that man through whom the Son of Man is delivered up; good were it to him if that man had not been born.' Mk. 14:21
- And having taken the cup, having given thanks, he gave to them, and they drank of it -- all; Mk. 14:23
- and he said to them, `This is my blood of the new covenant, which for many is being poured out; Mk. 14:24
- verily I say to you, that no more may I drink of the produce of the vine till that day when I may drink it new in the reign of God.' Mk. 14:25
- And having sung an hymn, they went forth to the mount of the Olives, Mk. 14:26
- and Jesus saith to them -- `All ye shall be stumbled at me this night, because it hath been written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered abroad, Mk. 14:27
- And he spake the more vehemently, `If it may be necessary for me to die with thee -- I will in nowise deny thee;' and in like manner also said they all. Mk. 14:31
- And they come to a spot, the name of which is Gethsemane, and he saith to his disciples, `Sit ye here till I may pray;' Mk. 14:32
- And having gone forward a little, he fell upon the earth, and was praying, that, if it be possible the hour may pass from him, Mk. 14:35
- Watch ye and pray, that ye may not enter into temptation; the spirit indeed is forward, but the flesh weak.' Mk. 14:38
- And again having gone away, he prayed, the same word saying; Mk. 14:39
- And he cometh the third time, and saith to them, `Sleep on henceforth, and rest -- it is over; the hour did come; lo, the Son of Man is delivered up to the hands of the sinful; Mk. 14:41
- And immediately -- while he is yet speaking -- cometh near Judas, one of the twelve, and with him a great multitude, with swords and sticks, from the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders; Mk. 14:43
- and a certain one of those standing by, having drawn the sword, struck the servant of the chief priest, and took off his ear. Mk. 14:47
- daily I was with you in the temple teaching, and ye did not lay hold on me -- but that the Writings may be fulfilled.' Mk. 14:49
- and a certain young man was following him, having put a linen cloth about his naked body, and the young men lay hold on him, Mk. 14:51
- and he, having left the linen cloth, did flee from them naked. Mk. 14:52
- And they led away Jesus unto the chief priest, and come together to him do all the chief priests, and the elders, and the scribes; Mk. 14:53
- and Peter afar off did follow him, to the inside of the hall of the chief priest, and he was sitting with the officers, and warming himself near the fire. Mk. 14:54
- And the chief priests and all the sanhedrim were seeking against Jesus testimony -- to put him to death, and they were not finding, Mk. 14:55
- And the chief priest, having risen up in the midst, questioned Jesus, saying, `Thou dost not answer anything! what do these testify against thee?' Mk. 14:60
- and he was keeping silent, and did not answer anything. Again the chief priest was questioning him, and saith to him, `Art thou the Christ -- the Son of the Blessed?' Mk. 14:61
- and Jesus said, `I am; and ye shall see the Son of Man sitting on the right hand of the power, and coming with the clouds, of the heaven.' Mk. 14:62
- And the chief priest, having rent his garments, saith, `What need have we yet of witnesses? Mk. 14:63
- Ye heard the evil speaking, what appeareth to you?' and they all condemned him to be worthy of death, Mk. 14:64
- and certain began to spit on him, and to cover his face, and to buffet him, and to say to him, `Prophesy;' and the officers were striking him with their palms. Mk. 14:65
- And Peter being in the hall beneath, there doth come one of the maids of the chief priest, Mk. 14:66
- and he denied, saying, `I have not known him, neither do I understand what thou sayest;' and he went forth without to the porch, and a cock crew. Mk. 14:68
- And the maid having seen him again, began to say to those standing near -- `This is of them;' Mk. 14:69
- and a second time a cock crew, and Peter remembered the saying that Jesus said to him -- `Before a cock crow twice, thou mayest deny me thrice;' and having thought thereon -- he was weeping. Mk. 14:72
- And immediately, in the morning, the chief priests having made a consultation, with the elders, and scribes, and the whole sanhedrim, having bound Jesus, did lead away, and delivered him to Pilate; Mk. 15:1
- and Pilate questioned him, `Art thou the king of the Jews?' and he answering said to him, `Thou dost say it.' Mk. 15:2
- And the chief priests were accusing him of many things, but he answered nothing. Mk. 15:3
- and there was one named Barabbas, bound with those making insurrection with him, who had in the insurrection committed murder. Mk. 15:7
- And the multitude having cried out, began to ask for themselves as he was always doing to them, Mk. 15:8
- and Pilate answered them, saying, `Will ye that I shall release to you the king of the Jews?' Mk. 15:9
- for he knew that because of envy the chief priests had delivered him up; Mk. 15:10
- and the chief priests did move the multitude, that he might rather release Barabbas to them. Mk. 15:11
- And Pilate answering, again said to them, `What, then, will ye that I shall do to him whom ye call king of the Jews?' Mk. 15:12
- And Pilate said to them, `Why -- what evil did he?' and they cried out the more vehemently, `Crucify him;' Mk. 15:14
- and Pilate, wishing to content the multitude, released to them Barabbas, and delivered up Jesus -- having scourged him -- that he might be crucified. Mk. 15:15
- And the soldiers led him away into the hall, which is Praetorium, and call together the whole band, Mk. 15:16
- and began to salute him, `Hail, King of the Jews.' Mk. 15:18
- And they were smiting him on the head with a reed, and were spitting on him, and having bent the knee, were bowing to him, Mk. 15:19
- and when they had mocked him, they took the purple from off him, and clothed him in his own garments, and they led him forth, that they may crucify him. Mk. 15:20
- And they impress a certain one passing by -- Simon, a Cyrenian, coming from the field, the father of Alexander and Rufus -- that he may bear his cross, Mk. 15:21
- and they bring him to the place Golgotha, which is, being interpreted, `Place of a skull;' Mk. 15:22
- and it was the third hour, and they crucified him; Mk. 15:25
- and the inscription of his accusation was written above -- `The King of the Jews.' Mk. 15:26
- And with him they crucify two robbers, one on the right hand, and one on his left, Mk. 15:27
- and the Writing was fulfilled that is saying, `And with lawless ones he was numbered.' Mk. 15:28
- And those passing by were speaking evil of him, shaking their heads, and saying, `Ah, the thrower down of the sanctuary, and in three days the builder! Mk. 15:29
- save thyself, and come down from the cross!' Mk. 15:30
- And in like manner also the chief priests, mocking with one another, with the scribes, said, `Others he saved; himself he is not able to save. Mk. 15:31
- The Christ! the king of Israel -- let him come down now from the cross, that we may see and believe;' and those crucified with him were reproaching him. Mk. 15:32
- And the sixth hour having come, darkness came over the whole land till the ninth hour, Mk. 15:33
- and at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a great voice, saying, `Eloi, Eloi, lamma sabachthani?' which is, being interpreted, `My God, my God, why didst Thou forsake me?' Mk. 15:34
- And Jesus having uttered a loud cry, yielded the spirit, Mk. 15:37
- and the veil of the sanctuary was rent in two, from top to bottom, Mk. 15:38
- and the centurion who was standing over-against him, having seen that, having so cried out, he yielded the spirit, said, `Truly this man was Son of God.' Mk. 15:39
- And there were also women afar off beholding, among whom was also Mary the Magdalene, and Mary of James the less, and of Joses, and Salome, Mk. 15:40
- And now evening having come, seeing it was the preparation, that is, the fore-sabbath, Mk. 15:42
- Joseph of Arimathea, an honourable counsellor, who also himself was waiting for the reign of God, came, boldly entered in unto Pilate, and asked the body of Jesus. Mk. 15:43
- And Pilate wondered if he were already dead, and having called near the centurion, did question him if he were long dead, Mk. 15:44
- and having known it from the centurion, he granted the body to Joseph. Mk. 15:45
- And he, having brought fine linen, and having taken him down, wrapped him in the linen, and laid him in a sepulchre that had been hewn out of a rock, and he rolled a stone unto the door of the sepulchre, Mk. 15:46
- and Mary the Magdalene, and Mary of Joses, were beholding where he is laid. Mk. 15:47
- And the sabbath having past, Mary the Magdalene, and Mary of James, and Salome, bought spices, that having come, they may anoint him, Mk. 16:1
- and early in the morning of the first of the sabbaths, they come unto the sepulchre, at the rising of the sun, Mk. 16:2
- and they said among themselves, `Who shall roll away for us the stone out of the door of the sepulchre?' Mk. 16:3
- And having looked, they see that the stone hath been rolled away -- for it was very great, Mk. 16:4
- and having entered into the sepulchre, they saw a young man sitting on the right hand, arrayed in a long white robe, and they were amazed. Mk. 16:5
- And he saith to them, `Be not amazed, ye seek Jesus the Nazarene, the crucified: he did rise -- he is not here; lo, the place where they laid him! Mk. 16:6
- And, having come forth quickly, they fled from the sepulchre, and trembling and amazement had seized them, and to no one said they anything, for they were afraid. Mk. 16:8
- And he, having risen in the morning of the first of the sabbaths, did appear first to Mary the Magdalene, out of whom he had cast seven demons; Mk. 16:9
- and they having gone, told to the rest; not even them did they believe. Mk. 16:13
- Afterwards, as they are reclining (at meat), he was manifested to the eleven, and did reproach their unbelief and stiffness of heart, because they believed not those having seen him being raised; Mk. 16:14
- and he said to them, `Having gone to all the world, proclaim the good news to all the creation; Mk. 16:15
- serpents they shall take up; and if any deadly thing they may drink, it shall not hurt them; on the ailing they shall lay hands, and they shall be well.' Mk. 16:18
- The Lord, then, indeed, after speaking to them, was received up to the heaven, and sat on the right hand of God; Mk. 16:19
- and they, having gone forth, did preach everywhere, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word, through the signs following. Amen. Mk. 16:20
- Seeing that many did take in hand to set in order a narration of the matters that have been fully assured among us, Lk. 1:1
- as they did deliver to us, who from the beginning became eye-witnesses, and officers of the Word, -- Lk. 1:2
- it seemed good also to me, having followed from the first after all things exactly, to write to thee in order, most noble Theophilus, Lk. 1:3
- that thou mayest know the certainty of the things wherein thou wast instructed. Lk. 1:4
- There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judea, a certain priest, by name Zacharias, of the course of Abijah, and his wife of the daughters of Aaron, and her name Elisabeth; Lk. 1:5
- and they were both righteous before God, going on in all the commands and righteousnesses of the Lord blameless, Lk. 1:6
- And it came to pass, in his acting as priest, in the order of his course before God, Lk. 1:8
- according to the custom of the priesthood, his lot was to make perfume, having gone into the sanctuary of the Lord, Lk. 1:9
- and all the multitude of the people were praying without, at the hour of the perfume. Lk. 1:10
- And there appeared to him a messenger of the Lord standing on the right side of the altar of the perfume, Lk. 1:11
- and the messenger said unto him, `Fear not, Zacharias, for thy supplication was heard, and thy wife Elisabeth shall bear a son to thee, and thou shalt call his name John, Lk. 1:13
- for he shall be great before the Lord, and wine and strong drink he may not drink, and of the Holy Spirit he shall be full, even from his mother's womb; Lk. 1:15
- and many of the sons of Israel he shall turn to the Lord their God, Lk. 1:16
- and he shall go before Him, in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn hearts of fathers unto children, and disobedient ones to the wisdom of righteous ones, to make ready for the Lord, a people prepared.' Lk. 1:17
- And Zacharias said unto the messenger, `Whereby shall I know this? for I am aged, and my wife is advanced in her days?' Lk. 1:18
- And the messenger answering said to him, `I am Gabriel, who have been standing near before God, and I was sent to speak unto thee, and to proclaim these good news to thee, Lk. 1:19
- and lo, thou shalt be silent, and not able to speak, till the day that these things shall come to pass, because thou didst not believe my words, that shall be fulfilled in their season.' Lk. 1:20
- And the people were waiting for Zacharias, and wondering at his tarrying in the sanctuary, Lk. 1:21
- and having come out, he was not able to speak to them, and they perceived that a vision he had seen in the sanctuary, and he was beckoning to them, and did remain dumb. Lk. 1:22
- And it came to pass, when the days of his service were fulfilled, he went away to his house, Lk. 1:23
- `Thus hath the Lord done to me, in days in which He looked upon me, to take away my reproach among men.' Lk. 1:25
- And in the sixth month was the messenger Gabriel sent by God, to a city of Galilee, the name of which is Nazareth, Lk. 1:26
- to a virgin, betrothed to a man, whose name is Joseph, of the house of David, and the name of the virgin is Mary. Lk. 1:27
- And the messenger having come in unto her, said, `Hail, favoured one, the Lord is with thee; blessed art thou among women;' Lk. 1:28
- And the messenger said to her, `Fear not, Mary, for thou hast found favour with God; Lk. 1:30
- and lo, thou shalt conceive in the womb, and shalt bring forth a son, and call his name Jesus; Lk. 1:31
- he shall be great, and Son of the Highest he shall be called, and the Lord God shall give him the throne of David his father, Lk. 1:32
- and he shall reign over the house of Jacob to the ages; and of his reign there shall be no end.' Lk. 1:33
- And Mary said unto the messenger, `How shall this be, seeing a husband I do not know?' Lk. 1:34
- And the messenger answering said to her, `The Holy Spirit shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee, therefore also the holy-begotten thing shall be called Son of God; Lk. 1:35
- and lo, Elisabeth, thy kinswoman, she also hath conceived a son in her old age, and this is the sixth month to her who was called barren; Lk. 1:36
- And Mary said, `Lo, the maid-servant of the Lord; let it be to me according to thy saying,' and the messenger went away from her. Lk. 1:38
- And Mary having arisen in those days, went to the hill-country, with haste, to a city of Judea, Lk. 1:39
- and entered into the house of Zacharias, and saluted Elisabeth. Lk. 1:40
- And it came to pass, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe did leap in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit, Lk. 1:41
- and spake out with a loud voice, and said, `Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb; Lk. 1:42
- and whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord might come unto me? Lk. 1:43
- for, lo, when the voice of thy salutation came to my ears, leap in gladness did the babe in my womb; Lk. 1:44
- and happy is she who did believe, for there shall be a completion to the things spoken to her from the Lord.' Lk. 1:45
- And Mary said, `My soul doth magnify the Lord, Lk. 1:46
- Because He looked on the lowliness of His maid-servant, For, lo, henceforth call me happy shall all the generations, Lk. 1:48
- He did powerfully with His arm, He scattered abroad the proud in the thought of their heart, Lk. 1:51
- He brought down the mighty from thrones, And He exalted the lowly, Lk. 1:52
- The hungry He did fill with good, And the rich He sent away empty, Lk. 1:53
- As He spake unto our fathers, To Abraham and to his seed -- to the age.' Lk. 1:55
- And to Elisabeth was the time fulfilled for her bringing forth, and she bare a son, Lk. 1:57
- and the neighbours and her kindred heard that the Lord was making His kindness great with her, and they were rejoicing with her. Lk. 1:58
- And it came to pass, on the eighth day, they came to circumcise the child, and they were calling him by the name of his father, Zacharias, Lk. 1:59
- And fear came upon all those dwelling around them, and in all the hill-country of Judea were all these sayings spoken of, Lk. 1:65
- and all who heard did lay them up in their hearts, saying, `What then shall this child be?' and the hand of the Lord was with him. Lk. 1:66
- And Zacharias his father was filled with the Holy Spirit, and did prophesy, saying, Lk. 1:67
- `Blessed is the Lord, the God of Israel, Because He did look upon, And wrought redemption for His people, Lk. 1:68
- And did raise an horn of salvation to us, In the house of David His servant, Lk. 1:69
- As He spake by the mouth of His holy prophets, Which have been from the age; Lk. 1:70
- Salvation from our enemies, And out of the hand of all hating us, Lk. 1:71
- To give to us, without fear, Out of the hand of our enemies having been delivered, To serve Him, Lk. 1:74
- in holiness and righteousness Before Him, all the days of our life. Lk. 1:75
- And thou, child, Prophet of the Highest Shalt thou be called; For thou shalt go before the face of the Lord, To prepare His ways. Lk. 1:76
- Through the tender mercies of our God, In which the rising from on high did look upon us, Lk. 1:78
- And the child grew, and was strengthened in spirit, and he was in the deserts till the day of his shewing unto Israel. Lk. 1:80
- And it came to pass in those days, there went forth a decree from Caesar Augustus, that all the world be enrolled -- Lk. 2:1
- and Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, to Judea, to the city of David, that is called Bethlehem, because of his being of the house and family of David, Lk. 2:4
- And it came to pass, in their being there, the days were fulfilled for her bringing forth, Lk. 2:6
- and she brought forth her son -- the first-born, and wrapped him up, and laid him down in the manger, because there was not for them a place in the guest-chamber. Lk. 2:7
- And there were shepherds in the same region, lodging in the field, and keeping the night-watches over their flock, Lk. 2:8
- and lo, a messenger of the Lord stood over them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they feared a great fear. Lk. 2:9
- And the messenger said to them, `Fear not, for lo, I bring you good news of great joy, that shall be to all the people -- Lk. 2:10
- because there was born to you to-day a Saviour -- who is Christ the Lord -- in the city of David, Lk. 2:11
- and this is to you the sign: Ye shall find a babe wrapped up, lying in the manger.' Lk. 2:12
- And suddenly there came with the messenger a multitude of the heavenly host, praising God, and saying, Lk. 2:13
- `Glory in the highest to God, and upon earth peace, among men -- good will.' Lk. 2:14
- And it came to pass, when the messengers were gone away from them to the heavens, that the men, the shepherds, said unto one another, `We may go over indeed unto Bethlehem, and see this thing that hath come to pass, that the Lord did make known to us.' Lk. 2:15
- And they came, having hasted, and found both Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in the manger, Lk. 2:16
- and having seen, they made known abroad concerning the saying spoken to them concerning the child. Lk. 2:17
- And all who heard, did wonder concerning the things spoken by the shepherds unto them; Lk. 2:18
- and the shepherds turned back, glorifying and praising God, for all those things they heard and saw, as it was spoken unto them. Lk. 2:20
- And when eight days were fulfilled to circumcise the child, then was his name called Jesus, having been so called by the messenger before his being conceived in the womb. Lk. 2:21
- And when the days of their purification were fulfilled, according to the law of Moses, they brought him up to Jerusalem, to present to the Lord, Lk. 2:22
- as it hath been written in the Law of the Lord, -- `Every male opening a womb shall be called holy to the Lord,' Lk. 2:23
- and to give a sacrifice, according to that said in the Law of the Lord, `A pair of turtle-doves, or two young pigeons.' Lk. 2:24
- And lo, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name is Simeon, and this man is righteous and devout, looking for the comforting of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him, Lk. 2:25
- and it hath been divinely told him by the Holy Spirit -- not to see death before he may see the Christ of the Lord. Lk. 2:26
- And he came in the Spirit to the temple, and in the parents bringing in the child Jesus, for their doing according to the custom of the law regarding him, Lk. 2:27
- which Thou didst prepare before the face of all the peoples, Lk. 2:31
- a light to the uncovering of nations, and the glory of Thy people Israel.' Lk. 2:32
- And Joseph and his mother were wondering at the things spoken concerning him, Lk. 2:33
- and Simeon blessed them, and said unto Mary his mother, `Lo, this one is set for the falling and rising again of many in Israel, and for a sign spoken against -- Lk. 2:34
- (and also thine own soul shall a sword pass through) -- that the reasonings of many hearts may be revealed.' Lk. 2:35
- And there was Anna, a prophetess, daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher, she was much advanced in days, having lived with an husband seven years from her virginity, Lk. 2:36
- and she is a widow of about eighty-four years, who did depart not from the temple, with fasts and supplications serving, night and day, Lk. 2:37
- and she, at that hour, having come in, was confessing, likewise, to the Lord, and was speaking concerning him, to all those looking for redemption in Jerusalem. Lk. 2:38
- And when they finished all things, according to the Law of the Lord, they turned back to Galilee, to their city Nazareth; Lk. 2:39
- and the child grew and was strengthened in spirit, being filled with wisdom, and the grace of God was upon him. Lk. 2:40
- And his parents were going yearly to Jerusalem, at the feast of the passover, Lk. 2:41
- and when he became twelve years old, they having gone up to Jerusalem, according to the custom of the feast, Lk. 2:42
- and having finished the days, in their returning the child Jesus remained behind in Jerusalem, and Joseph and his mother did not know, Lk. 2:43
- and, having supposed him to be in the company, they went a day's journey, and were seeking him among the kindred and among the acquaintances, Lk. 2:44
- And it came to pass, after three days, they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the teachers, both hearing them and questioning them, Lk. 2:46
- And he said unto them, `Why is it that ye were seeking me? did ye not know that in the things of my Father it behoveth me to be?' Lk. 2:49
- and they did not understand the saying that he spake to them, Lk. 2:50
- And in the fifteenth year of the government of Tiberius Caesar -- Pontius Pilate being governor of Judea, and Herod tetrarch of Galilee, and Philip his brother, tetrarch of Ituraea and of the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilene -- Lk. 3:1
- Annas and Caiaphas being chief priests -- there came a word of God unto John the son of Zacharias, in the wilderness, Lk. 3:2
- and he came to all the region round the Jordan, proclaiming a baptism of reformation -- to remission of sins, Lk. 3:3
- as it hath been written in the scroll of the words of Isaiah the prophet, saying, `A voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, straight make ye His paths; Lk. 3:4
- every valley shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be made low, and the crooked shall become straightness, and the rough become smooth ways; Lk. 3:5
- and all flesh shall see the salvation of God.' Lk. 3:6
- Then said he to the multitudes coming forth to be baptised by him, `Brood of vipers! who did prompt you to flee from the coming wrath? Lk. 3:7
- make, therefore, fruits worthy of the reformation, and begin not to say within yourselves, We have a father -- Abraham; for I say to you, that God is able out of these stones to raise children to Abraham; Lk. 3:8
- and already also the axe unto the root of the trees is laid, every tree, therefore, not making good fruit is cut down, and to fire it is cast.' Lk. 3:9
- And the multitudes were questioning him, saying, `What, then, shall we do?' Lk. 3:10
- And the people are looking forward, and all are reasoning in their hearts concerning John, whether or not he may be the Christ; Lk. 3:15
- John answered, saying to all, `I indeed with water do baptise you, but he cometh who is mightier than I, of whom I am not worthy to loose the latchet of his sandals -- he shall baptise you with the Holy Spirit and with fire; Lk. 3:16
- whose winnowing shovel is in his hand, and he will thoroughly cleanse his floor, and will gather the wheat to his storehouse, and the chaff he will burn with fire unquenchable.' Lk. 3:17
- And, therefore, indeed with many other things, exhorting, he was proclaiming good news to the people, Lk. 3:18
- and Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him concerning Herodias the wife of Philip his brother, and concerning all the evils that Herod did, Lk. 3:19
- added also this to all, that he shut up John in the prison. Lk. 3:20
- And it came to pass, in all the people being baptised, Jesus also being baptised, and praying, the heaven was opened, Lk. 3:21
- and the Holy Spirit came down in a bodily appearance, as if a dove, upon him, and a voice came out of heaven, saying, `Thou art My Son -- the Beloved, in thee I did delight.' Lk. 3:22
- And Jesus himself was beginning to be about thirty years of age, being, as was supposed, son of Joseph, the son of Eli, Lk. 3:23

- the son of Jacob, the son of Isaac, the son of Abraham, the son of Terah, the son of Nahor, Lk. 3:34
- the son of Serug, the son of Reu, the son of Peleg, the son of Eber, the son of Salah, Lk. 3:35
- the son of Cainan, the son of Arphaxad, the son of Shem, the son of Noah, the son of Lamech, Lk. 3:36
- the son of Methuselah, the son of Enoch, the son of Jared, the son of Mahalaleel, the son of Cainan, Lk. 3:37
- the son of Enos, the son of Seth, the son of Adam, the son of God. Lk. 3:38
- And Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, turned back from the Jordan, and was brought in the Spirit to the wilderness, Lk. 4:1
- forty days being tempted by the Devil, and he did not eat anything in those days, and they having been ended, he afterward hungered, Lk. 4:2
- and the Devil said to him, `If Son thou art of God, speak to this stone that it may become bread.' Lk. 4:3
- And the Devil having brought him up to an high mountain, shewed to him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time, Lk. 4:5
- and the Devil said to him, `To thee I will give all this authority, and their glory, because to me it hath been delivered, and to whomsoever I will, I do give it; Lk. 4:6
- And Jesus answering him said, `Get thee behind me, Adversary, for it hath been written, Thou shalt bow before the Lord thy God, and Him only thou shalt serve.' Lk. 4:8
- And he brought him to Jerusalem, and set him on the pinnacle of the temple, and said to him, `If the Son thou art of God, cast thyself down hence, Lk. 4:9
- And Jesus answering said to him -- `It hath been said, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.' Lk. 4:12
- And having ended all temptation, the Devil departed from him till a convenient season. Lk. 4:13
- And Jesus turned back in the power of the Spirit to Galilee, and a fame went forth through all the region round about concerning him, Lk. 4:14
- And he came to Nazareth, where he hath been brought up, and he went in, according to his custom, on the sabbath-day, to the synagogue, and stood up to read; Lk. 4:16
- and there was given over to him a roll of Isaiah the prophet, and having unfolded the roll, he found the place where it hath been written: Lk. 4:17
- `The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, Because He did anoint me; To proclaim good news to the poor, Sent me to heal the broken of heart, To proclaim to captives deliverance, And to blind receiving of sight, To send away the bruised with deliverance, Lk. 4:18
- To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord.' Lk. 4:19
- And having folded the roll, having given it back to the officer, he sat down, and the eyes of all in the synagogue were gazing on him. Lk. 4:20
- and all were bearing testimony to him, and were wondering at the gracious words that are coming forth out of his mouth, and they said, `Is not this the son of Joseph?' Lk. 4:22
- and of a truth I say to you, Many widows were in the days of Elijah, in Israel, when the heaven was shut for three years and six months, when great famine came on all the land, Lk. 4:25
- and many lepers were in the time of Elisha the prophet, in Israel, and none of them was cleansed, but -- Naaman the Syrian.' Lk. 4:27
- And all in the synagogue were filled with wrath, hearing these things, Lk. 4:28
- and having risen, they put him forth without the city, and brought him unto the brow of the hill on which their city had been built -- to cast him down headlong, Lk. 4:29
- and he, having gone through the midst of them, went away. Lk. 4:30
- And he came down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee, and was teaching them on the sabbaths, Lk. 4:31
- And in the synagogue was a man, having a spirit of an unclean demon, and he cried out with a great voice, Lk. 4:33
- saying, `Away, what -- to us and to thee, Jesus, O Nazarene? thou didst come to destroy us; I have known thee who thou art -- the Holy One of God.' Lk. 4:34
- And Jesus did rebuke him, saying, `Be silenced, and come forth out of him;' and the demon having cast him into the midst, came forth from him, having hurt him nought; Lk. 4:35
- and amazement came upon all, and they were speaking together, with one another, saying, `What is this word, that with authority and power he doth command the unclean spirits, and they come forth?' Lk. 4:36
- and there was going forth a fame concerning him to every place of the region round about. Lk. 4:37
- And having risen out of the synagogue, he entered into the house of Simon, and the mother-in-law of Simon was pressed with a great fever, and they did ask him about her, Lk. 4:38
- and having stood over her, he rebuked the fever, and it left her, and presently, having risen, she was ministering to them. Lk. 4:39
- And at the setting of the sun, all, as many as had any ailing with manifold sicknesses, brought them unto him, and he on each one of them his hands having put, did heal them. Lk. 4:40
- And demons also were coming forth from many, crying out and saying -- `Thou art the Christ, the Son of God;' and rebuking, he did not suffer them to speak, because they knew him to be the Christ. Lk. 4:41
- And day having come, having gone forth, he went on to a desert place, and the multitudes were seeking him, and they came unto him, and were staying him -- not to go on from them, Lk. 4:42
- and he said unto them -- `Also to the other cities it behoveth me to proclaim good news of the reign of God, because for this I have been sent;' Lk. 4:43
- and he was preaching in the synagogues of Galilee. Lk. 4:44
- And it came to pass, in the multitude pressing on him to hear the word of God, that he was standing beside the lake of Gennesaret, Lk. 5:1
- and he saw two boats standing beside the lake, and the fishers, having gone away from them, were washing the nets, Lk. 5:2
- and having entered into one of the boats, that was Simon's, he asked him to put back a little from the land, and having sat down, was teaching the multitudes out of the boat. Lk. 5:3
- And when he left off speaking, he said unto Simon, `Put back to the deep, and let down your nets for a draught;' Lk. 5:4
- and Simon answering said to him, `Master, through the whole night, having laboured, we have taken nothing, but at thy saying I will let down the net.' Lk. 5:5
- and they beckoned to the partners, who are in the other boat, having come, to help them; and they came, and filled both the boats, so that they were sinking. Lk. 5:7
- And Simon Peter having seen, fell down at the knees of Jesus, saying, `Depart from me, because I am a sinful man, O lord;' Lk. 5:8
- for astonishment seized him, and all those with him, at the draught of the fishes that they took, Lk. 5:9
- and they, having brought the boats upon the land, having left all, did follow him. Lk. 5:11
- And it came to pass, in his being in one of the cities, that lo, a man full of leprosy, and having seen Jesus, having fallen on his face, he besought him, saying, `Sir, if thou mayest will, thou art able to cleanse me;' Lk. 5:12
- and having stretched forth his hand, he touched him, having said, `I will; be thou cleansed;' and immediately the leprosy went away from him. Lk. 5:13
- And he charged him to tell no one, `But, having gone away, shew thyself to the priest, and bring near for thy cleansing according as Moses directed, for a testimony to them;' Lk. 5:14
- but the more was the report going abroad concerning him, and great multitudes were coming together to hear, and to be healed by him of their infirmities, Lk. 5:15
- and he was withdrawing himself in the desert places and was praying. Lk. 5:16
- And it came to pass, on one of the days, that he was teaching, and there were sitting by Pharisees and teachers of the Law, who were come out of every village of Galilee, and Judea, and Jerusalem, and the power of the Lord was -- to heal them. Lk. 5:17
- and not having found by what way they may bring him in because of the multitude, having gone up on the house-top, through the tiles they let him down, with the little couch, into the midst before Jesus, Lk. 5:19
- And the scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, `Who is this that doth speak evil words? who is able to forgive sins, except God only?' Lk. 5:21
- `And that ye may know that the Son of Man hath authority upon the earth to forgive sins -- (he said to the one struck with palsy) -- I say to thee, Arise, and having taken up thy little couch, be going on to thy house.' Lk. 5:24
- And after these things he went forth, and beheld a tax-gatherer, by name Levi, sitting at the tax-office, and said to him, `Be following me;' Lk. 5:27
- and the scribes and the Pharisees among them were murmuring at his disciples, saying, `Wherefore with tax-gatherers and sinners do ye eat and drink?' Lk. 5:30
- And they said unto him, `Wherefore do the disciples of John fast often, and make supplications -- in like manner also those of the Pharisees -- but thine do eat and drink?' Lk. 5:33
- And he said unto them, `Are ye able to make the sons of the bride-chamber -- in the bridegroom being with them -- to fast? Lk. 5:34
- but days will come, and, when the bridegroom may be taken away from them, then they shall fast in those days.' Lk. 5:35
- And he spake also a simile unto them -- `No one a patch of new clothing doth put on old clothing, and if otherwise, the new also doth make a rent, and with the old the patch doth not agree, that is from the new. Lk. 5:36
- `And no one doth put new wine into old skins, and if otherwise, the new wine will burst the skins, and itself will be poured out, and the skins will be destroyed; Lk. 5:37
- and no one having drunk old wine, doth immediately wish new, for he saith, The old is better.' Lk. 5:39
- And it came to pass, on the second-first sabbath, as he is going through the corn fields, that his disciples were plucking the ears, and were eating, rubbing with the hands, Lk. 6:1
- and certain of the Pharisees said to them, `Why do ye that which is not lawful to do on the sabbaths?' Lk. 6:2
- how he went into the house of God, and the loaves of the presentation did take, and did eat, and gave also to those with him, which it is not lawful to eat, except only to 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 goeth into the synagogue, and teacheth, and there was there a man, and his right hand was withered, Lk. 6:6
- and the scribes and the Pharisees were watching him, if on the sabbath he will heal, that they might find an accusation against him. Lk. 6:7
- And he himself had known their reasonings, and said to the man having the withered hand, `Rise, and stand in the midst;' and he having risen, stood. Lk. 6:8
- Then said Jesus unto them, `I will question you something: Is it lawful on the sabbaths to do good, or to do evil? life to save or to kill?' Lk. 6:9
- And having looked round on them all, he said to the man, `Stretch forth thy hand;' and he did so, and his hand was restored whole as the other; Lk. 6:10
- And it came to pass in those days, he went forth to the mountain to pray, and was passing the night in the prayer of God, Lk. 6:12
- and having come down with them, he stood upon a level spot, and a crowd of his disciples, and a great multitude of the people from all Judea, and Jerusalem, and the maritime Tyre and Sidon, who came to hear him, and to be healed of their sicknesses, Lk. 6:17
- and all the multitude were seeking to touch him, because power from him was going forth, and he was healing all. Lk. 6:19
- And he, having lifted up his eyes to his disciples, said: `Happy the poor -- because yours is the reign of God. Lk. 6:20
- `Happy are ye when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you, and shall reproach, and shall cast forth your name as evil, for the Son of Man's sake -- Lk. 6:22
- rejoice in that day, and leap, for lo, your reward is great in the heaven, for according to these things were their fathers doing to the prophets. Lk. 6:23
- `But wo to you -- the rich, because ye have got your comfort. Lk. 6:24
- and to him smiting thee upon the cheek, give also the other, and from him taking away from thee the mantle, also the coat thou mayest not keep back. Lk. 6:29
- and -- if ye love those loving you, what grace have ye? for also the sinful love those loving them; Lk. 6:32
- and if ye do good to those doing good to you, what grace have ye? for also the sinful do the same; Lk. 6:33
- and if ye lend to those of whom ye hope to receive back, what grace have ye? for also the sinful lend to sinners -- that they may receive again as much. Lk. 6:34
- `But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again, and your reward will be great, and ye shall be sons of the Highest, because He is kind unto the ungracious and evil; Lk. 6:35
- `And why dost thou behold the mote that is in thy brother's eye, and the beam that is in thine own eye dost not consider? Lk. 6:41
- or how art thou able to say to thy brother, Brother, suffer, I may take out the mote that is in thine eye -- thyself the beam in thine own eye not beholding? Hypocrite, take first the beam out of thine own eye, and then thou shalt see clearly to take out the mote that is in thy brother's eye. Lk. 6:42
- `The good man out of the good treasure of his heart doth bring forth that which is good; and the evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart doth bring forth that which is evil; for out of the abounding of the heart doth his mouth speak. Lk. 6:45
- he is like to a man building a house, who did dig, and deepen, and laid a foundation upon the rock, and a flood having come, the stream broke forth on that house, and was not able to shake it, for it had been founded upon the rock. Lk. 6:48
- `And he who heard and did not, is like to a man having builded a house upon the earth, without a foundation, against which the stream brake forth, and immediately it fell, and the ruin of that house became great.' Lk. 6:49
- And when he completed all his sayings in the ears of the people, he went into Capernaum; Lk. 7:1
- and having heard about Jesus, he sent unto him elders of the Jews, beseeching him, that having come he might thoroughly save his servant. Lk. 7:3
- for he doth love our nation, and the synagogue he did build to us.' Lk. 7:5
- And Jesus was going on with them, and now when he is not far distant from the house the centurion sent unto him friends, saying to him, `Sir, be not troubled, for I am not worthy that under my roof thou mayest enter; Lk. 7:6
- And having heard these things Jesus wondered at him, and having turned to the multitude following him, he said, `I say to you, not even in Israel so much faith did I find;' Lk. 7:9
- and those sent, having turned back to the house, found the ailing servant in health. Lk. 7:10
- And it came to pass, on the morrow, he was going on to a city called Nain, and there were going with him many of his disciples, and a great multitude, Lk. 7:11
- and as he came nigh to the gate of the city, then, lo, one dead was being carried forth, an only son of his mother, and she a widow, and a great multitude of the city was with her. Lk. 7:12
- And the Lord having seen her, was moved with compassion towards her, and said to her, `Be not weeping;' Lk. 7:13
- and having come near, he touched the bier, and those bearing it stood still, and he said, `Young man, to thee I say, Arise;' Lk. 7:14
- and the dead sat up, and began to speak, and he gave him to his mother; Lk. 7:15
- And the account of this went forth in all Judea about him, and in all the region around. Lk. 7:17
- And the disciples of John told him about all these things, Lk. 7:18
- And having come near to him, the men said, `John the Baptist sent us unto thee, saying, Art thou he who is coming, or for another do we look?' Lk. 7:20
- And the messengers of John having gone away, he began to say unto the multitudes concerning John: `What have ye gone forth to the wilderness to look on? a reed by the wind shaken? Lk. 7:24
- but what have ye gone forth to see? a man in soft garments clothed? lo, they in splendid apparellings, and living in luxury, are in the houses of kings! Lk. 7:25
- for I say to you, a greater prophet, among those born of women, than John the Baptist there is not; but the least in the reign of God is greater than he.' Lk. 7:28
- And all the people having heard, and the tax-gatherers, declared God righteous, having been baptized with the baptism of John, Lk. 7:29
- but the Pharisees, and the lawyers, the counsel of God did put away for themselves, not having been baptized by him. Lk. 7:30
- And the Lord said, `To what, then, shall I liken the men of this generation? and to what are they like? Lk. 7:31
- `For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and ye say, He hath a demon; Lk. 7:33
- the Son of Man came eating and drinking, and ye say, Lo, a man, a glutton, and a wine drinker, a friend of tax-gatherers and sinners; Lk. 7:34
- and the wisdom was justified from all her children.' Lk. 7:35
- And a certain one of the Pharisees was asking him that he might eat with him, and having gone into the house of the Pharisee he reclined (at meat), Lk. 7:36
- and lo, a woman in the city, who was a sinner, having known that he reclineth (at meat) in the house of the Pharisee, having provided an alabaster box of ointment, Lk. 7:37
- and having stood behind, beside his feet, weeping, she began to wet his feet with the tears, and with the hairs of her head she was wiping, and was kissing his feet, and was anointing with the ointment. Lk. 7:38
- And the Pharisee who did call him, having seen, spake within himself, saying, `This one, if he were a prophet, would have known who and of what kind is the woman who doth touch him, that she is a sinner.' Lk. 7:39
- `Two debtors were to a certain creditor; the one was owing five hundred denaries, and the other fifty; Lk. 7:41
- And Simon answering said, `I suppose that to whom he forgave the more;' and he said to him, `Rightly thou didst judge.' Lk. 7:43
- And having turned unto the woman, he said to Simon, `Seest thou this woman? I entered into thy house; water for my feet thou didst not give, but this woman with tears did wet my feet, and with the hairs of her head did wipe; Lk. 7:44
- and he said unto the woman, `Thy faith have saved thee, be going on to peace.' Lk. 7:50
- And it came to pass thereafter, that he was going through every city and village, preaching and proclaiming good news of the reign of God, and the twelve are with him, Lk. 8:1
- `The sower went forth to sow his seed, and in his sowing some indeed fell beside the way, and it was trodden down, and the fowls of the heaven did devour it. Lk. 8:5
- `And other fell upon the rock, and having sprung up, it did wither, through not having moisture. Lk. 8:6
- `And other fell amidst the thorns, and the thorns having sprung up with it, did choke it. Lk. 8:7
- `And other fell upon the good ground, and having sprung up, it made fruit an hundred fold.' These things saying, he was calling, `He having ears to hear -- let him hear.' Lk. 8:8
- And he said, `To you it hath been given to know the secrets of the reign of God, and to the rest in similes; that seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand. Lk. 8:10
- `And this is the simile: The seed is the word of God, Lk. 8:11
- and those beside the way are those hearing, then cometh the Devil, and taketh up the word from their heart, lest having believed, they may be saved. Lk. 8:12
- `And those upon the rock: They who, when they may hear, with joy do receive the word, and these have no root, who for a time believe, and in time of temptation fall away. Lk. 8:13
- `And that which fell to the thorns: These are they who have heard, and going forth, through anxieties, and riches, and pleasures of life, are choked, and bear not to completion. Lk. 8:14
- `And that in the good ground: These are they, who in an upright and good heart, having heard the word, do retain it, and bear fruit in continuance. Lk. 8:15
- `And no one having lighted a lamp doth cover it with a vessel, or under a couch doth put it; but upon a lamp-stand he doth put it, that those coming in may see the light, Lk. 8:16
- And there came unto him his mother and brethren, and they were not able to get to him because of the multitude, Lk. 8:19
- and he answering said unto them, `My mother and my brethren! they are those who the word of God are hearing, and doing.' Lk. 8:21
- And it came to pass, on one of the days, that he himself went into a boat with his disciples, and he said unto them, `We may go over to the other side of the lake;' and they set forth, Lk. 8:22
- and as they are sailing he fell deeply asleep, and there came down a storm of wind to the lake, and they were filling, and were in peril. Lk. 8:23
- And having come near, they awoke him, saying, `Master, master, we perish;' and he, having arisen, rebuked the wind and the raging of the water, and they ceased, and there came a calm, Lk. 8:24
- and he said to them, `Where is your faith?' and they being afraid did wonder, saying unto one another, `Who, then, is this, that even the winds he doth command, and the water, and they obey him?' Lk. 8:25
- And they sailed down to the region of the Gadarenes, that is over-against Galilee, Lk. 8:26
- and he having gone forth upon the land, there met him a certain man, out of the city, who had demons for a long time, and with a garment was not clothed, and in a house was not abiding, but in the tombs, Lk. 8:27
- For he commanded the unclean spirit to come forth from the man, for many times it had caught him, and he was being bound with chains and fetters -- guarded, and breaking asunder the bonds he was driven by the demons to the deserts. Lk. 8:29
- and he was calling on him, that he may not command them to go away to the abyss, Lk. 8:31
- and there was there a herd of many swine feeding in the mountain, and they were calling on him, that he might suffer them to enter into these, and he suffered them, Lk. 8:32
- and the demons having gone forth from the man, did enter into the swine, and the herd rushed down the steep to the lake, and were choked. Lk. 8:33
- And those feeding them, having seen what was come to pass, fled, and having gone, told it to the city, and to the fields; Lk. 8:34
- and they came forth to see what was come to pass, and they came unto Jesus, and found the man sitting, out of whom the demons had gone forth, clothed, and right-minded, at the feet of Jesus, and they were afraid; Lk. 8:35
- and those also having seen it, told them how the demoniac was saved. Lk. 8:36
- And the whole multitude of the region of the Gadarenes round about asked him to go away from them, because with great fear they were pressed, and he having entered into the boat, did turn back. Lk. 8:37
- And the man from whom the demons had gone forth was beseeching of him to be with him, and Jesus sent him away, saying, Lk. 8:38
- `Turn back to thy house, and tell how great things God did to thee;' and he went away through all the city proclaiming how great things Jesus did to him. Lk. 8:39
- And it came to pass, in the turning back of Jesus, the multitude received him, for they were all looking for him, Lk. 8:40
- and lo, there came a man, whose name is Jairus, and he was a chief of the synagogue, and having fallen at the feet of Jesus, was calling on him to come to his house; Lk. 8:41
- because he had an only daughter about twelve years old, and she was dying. And in his going away, the multitudes were thronging him, Lk. 8:42
- having come near behind, touched the fringe of his garment, and presently the issue of her blood stood. Lk. 8:44
- And Jesus said, `Who is it that touched me?' and all denying, Peter and those with him said, `Master, the multitudes press thee, and throng thee, and thou dost say, Who is it that touched me!' Lk. 8:45
- And the woman, having seen that she was not hid, trembling, came, and having fallen before him, for what cause she touched him declared to him before all the people, and how she was healed presently; Lk. 8:47
- While he is yet speaking, there doth come a certain one from the chief of the synagogue's house, saying to him -- `Thy daughter hath died, harass not the Teacher;' Lk. 8:49
- And having come to the house, he suffered no one to go in, except Peter, and James, and John, and the father of the child, and the mother; Lk. 8:51
- And having called together his twelve disciples, he gave them power and authority over all the demons, and to cure sicknesses, Lk. 9:1
- and he sent them to proclaim the reign of God, and to heal the ailing. Lk. 9:2
- And he said unto them, `Take nothing for the way, neither staff, nor scrip, nor bread, nor money; neither have two coats each; Lk. 9:3
- and as many as may not receive you, going forth from that city, even the dust from your feet shake off, for a testimony against them.' Lk. 9:5
- And going forth they were going through the several villages, proclaiming good news, and healing everywhere. Lk. 9:6
- And Herod the tetrarch heard of all the things being done by him, and was perplexed, because it was said by certain, that John hath been raised out of the dead; Lk. 9:7
- and by certain, that Elijah did appear, and by others, that a prophet, one of the ancients, was risen; Lk. 9:8
- And the apostles having turned back, declared to him how great things they did, and having taken them, he withdrew by himself to a desert place of a city called Bethsaida, Lk. 9:10
- and the multitudes having known did follow him, and having received them, he was speaking to them concerning the reign of God, and those having need of service he cured. Lk. 9:11
- And the day began to decline, and the twelve having come near, said to him, `Let away the multitude, that having gone to the villages and the fields round about, they may lodge and may find provision, because here we are in a desert place.' Lk. 9:12
- and having taken the five loaves, and the two fishes, having looked up to the heaven, he blessed them, and brake, and was giving to the disciples to set before the multitude; Lk. 9:16
- And it came to pass, as he is praying alone, the disciples were with him, and he questioned them, saying, `Who do the multitudes say me to be?' Lk. 9:18
- And they answering said, `John the Baptist; and others, Elijah; and others, that a prophet, one of the ancients, was risen;' Lk. 9:19
- and he said to them, `And ye -- who do ye say me to be?' and Peter answering said, `The Christ of God.' Lk. 9:20
- saying -- `It behoveth the Son of Man to suffer many things, and to be rejected by the elders, and chief priests, and scribes, and to be killed, and the third day to be raised.' Lk. 9:22
- for what is a man profited, having gained the whole world, and having lost or having forfeited himself? Lk. 9:25
- `For whoever may be ashamed of me, and of my words, of this one shall the Son of Man be ashamed, when he may come in his glory, and the Father's, and the holy messengers'; Lk. 9:26
- and I say to you, truly, there are certain of those here standing, who shall not taste of death till they may see the reign of God.' Lk. 9:27
- And it came to pass, after these words, as it were eight days, that having taken Peter, and John, and James, he went up to the mountain to pray, Lk. 9:28
- and it came to pass, in his praying, the appearance of his face became altered, and his garment white -- sparkling. Lk. 9:29
- but Peter and those with him were heavy with sleep, and having waked, they saw his glory, and the two men standing with him. Lk. 9:32
- and as he was speaking these things, there came a cloud, and overshadowed them, and they feared in their entering into the cloud, Lk. 9:34
- and a voice came out of the cloud saying, `This is My Son -- the Beloved; hear ye him;' Lk. 9:35
- and when the voice was past, Jesus was found alone; and they were silent, and declared to no one in those days anything of what they have seen. Lk. 9:36
- And it came to pass on the next day, they having come down from the mount, there met him a great multitude, Lk. 9:37
- and lo, a man from the multitude cried out, saying, `Teacher, I beseech thee, look upon my son, because he is my only begotten; Lk. 9:38
- and as he is yet coming near, the demon rent him, and tore him sore, and Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the youth, and gave him back to his father. Lk. 9:42
- And they were all amazed at the greatness of God, and while all are wondering at all things that Jesus did, he said unto his disciples, Lk. 9:43
- `Lay ye to your ears these words, for the Son of Man is about to be delivered up to the hands of men.' Lk. 9:44
- and Jesus having seen the reasoning of their heart, having taken hold of a child, set him beside himself, Lk. 9:47
- And John answering said, `Master, we saw a certain one in thy name casting forth the demons, and we forbade him, because he doth not follow with us;' Lk. 9:49
- And it came to pass, in the completing of the days of his being taken up, that he fixed his face to go on to Jerusalem, Lk. 9:51
- And his disciples James and John having seen, said, `Sir, wilt thou that we may command fire to come down from the heaven, and to consume them, as also Elijah did?' Lk. 9:54
- for the Son of Man did not come to destroy men's lives, but to save;' and they went on to another village. Lk. 9:56
- And it came to pass, as they are going on in the way, a certain one said unto him, `I will follow thee wherever thou mayest go, sir;' Lk. 9:57
- and Jesus said to him, `The foxes have holes, and the fowls of the heaven places of rest, but the Son of Man hath not where he may recline the head.' Lk. 9:58
- and Jesus said to him, `Suffer the dead to bury their own dead, and thou, having gone away, publish the reign of God.' Lk. 9:60
- and Jesus said unto him, `No one having put his hand on a plough, and looking back, is fit for the reign of God.' Lk. 9:62
- And after these things, the Lord did appoint also other seventy, and sent them by twos before his face, to every city and place whither he himself was about to come, Lk. 10:1
- then said he unto them, `The harvest indeed is abundant, but the workmen few; beseech ye then the Lord of the harvest, that He may put forth workmen to His harvest. Lk. 10:2
- `Go away; lo, I send you forth as lambs in the midst of wolves; Lk. 10:3
- carry no bag, no scrip, nor sandals; and salute no one on the way; Lk. 10:4
- and if indeed there may be there the son of peace, rest on it shall your peace; and if not so, upon you it shall turn back. Lk. 10:6
- `And in that house remain, eating and drinking the things they have, for worthy is the workman of his hire; go not from house to house, Lk. 10:7
- and into whatever city ye enter, and they may receive you, eat the things set before you, Lk. 10:8
- and heal the ailing in it, and say to them, The reign of God hath come nigh to you. Lk. 10:9
- And the dust that hath cleaved to us, from your city, we do wipe off against you, but this know ye, that the reign of God hath come nigh to you; Lk. 10:11
- `Wo to thee, Chorazin; wo to thee, Bethsaida; for if in Tyre and Sidon had been done the mighty works that were done in you, long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes, they had reformed; Lk. 10:13
- but for Tyre and Sidon it shall be more tolerable in the judgment than for you. Lk. 10:14
- `And thou, Capernaum, which unto the heaven wast exalted, unto hades thou shalt be brought down. Lk. 10:15
- And the seventy turned back with joy, saying, `Sir, and the demons are being subjected to us in thy name;' Lk. 10:17
- and he said to them, `I was beholding the Adversary, as lightning from the heaven having fallen; Lk. 10:18
- lo, I give to you the authority to tread upon serpents and scorpions, and on all the power of the enemy, and nothing by any means shall hurt you; Lk. 10:19
- but, in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subjected to you, but rejoice rather that your names were written in the heavens.' Lk. 10:20
- In that hour was Jesus glad in the Spirit, and said, `I do confess to thee, Father, Lord of the heaven and of the earth, that Thou didst hide these things from wise men and understanding, and didst reveal them to babes; yes, Father, because so it became good pleasure before Thee. Lk. 10:21
- `All things were delivered up to me by my Father, and no one doth know who the Son is, except the Father, and who the Father is, except the Son, and he to whom the Son may wish to reveal Him.' Lk. 10:22
- And having turned unto the disciples, he said, by themselves, `Happy the eyes that are perceiving what ye perceive; Lk. 10:23
- And he said unto him, `In the law what hath been written? how dost thou read?' Lk. 10:26
- And he answering said, `Thou shalt love the Lord thy God out of all thy heart, and out of all thy soul, and out of all thy strength, and out of all thy understanding, and thy neighbour as thyself.' Lk. 10:27
- and Jesus having taken up the word, said, `A certain man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among robbers, and having stripped him and inflicted blows, they went away, leaving him half dead. Lk. 10:30
- `And by a coincidence a certain priest was going down in that way, and having seen him, he passed over on the opposite side; Lk. 10:31
- and in like manner also, a Levite, having been about the place, having come and seen, passed over on the opposite side. Lk. 10:32
- and on the morrow, going forth, taking out two denaries, he gave to the innkeeper, and said to him, Be careful of him, and whatever thou mayest spend more, I, in my coming again, will give back to thee. Lk. 10:35
- `Who, then, of these three, seemeth to thee to have become neighbour of him who fell among the robbers?' Lk. 10:36
- and he said, `He who did the kindness with him,' then Jesus said to him, `Be going on, and thou be doing in like manner.' Lk. 10:37
- and she had also a sister, called Mary, who also, having seated herself beside the feet of Jesus, was hearing the word, Lk. 10:39
- but of one thing there is need, and Mary the good part did choose, that shall not be taken away from her.' Lk. 10:42
- And he said to them, `When ye may pray, say ye: Our Father who art in the heavens; hallowed be Thy name: Thy reign come; Thy will come to pass, as in heaven also on earth; Lk. 11:2
- and forgive us our sins, for also we ourselves forgive every one indebted to us; and mayest Thou not bring us into temptation; but do Thou deliver us from the evil.' Lk. 11:4
- seeing a friend of mine came out of the way unto me, and I have not what I shall set before him, Lk. 11:6
- and he from within answering may say, Do not give me trouble, already the door hath been shut, and my children with me are in the bed, I am not able, having risen, to give to thee. Lk. 11:7
- `And of which of you -- the father -- if the son shall ask a loaf, a stone will he present to him? and if a fish, will he instead of a fish, a serpent present to him? Lk. 11:11
- If, then, ye, being evil, have known good gifts to be giving to your children, how much more shall the Father who is from heaven give the Holy Spirit to those asking Him!' Lk. 11:13
- And he was casting forth a demon, and it was dumb, and it came to pass, the demon having gone forth, the dumb man spake, and the multitudes wondered, Lk. 11:14
- and certain of them said, `By Beelzeboul, ruler of the demons, he doth cast forth the demons;' Lk. 11:15
- and if also the Adversary against himself was divided, how shall his kingdom be made to stand? for ye say, by Beelzeboul is my casting forth the demons. Lk. 11:18
- `But if I by Beelzeboul cast forth the demons -- your sons, by whom do they cast forth? because of this your judges they shall be; Lk. 11:19
- but if by the finger of God I cast forth the demons, then come unawares upon you did the reign of God. Lk. 11:20
- `When the strong man armed may keep his hall, in peace are his goods; Lk. 11:21
- but when the stronger than he, having come upon him, may overcome him, his whole-armour he doth take away in which he had trusted, and his spoils he distributeth; Lk. 11:22
- `When the unclean spirit may go forth from the man it walketh through waterless places seeking rest, and not finding, it saith, I will turn back to my house whence I came forth; Lk. 11:24
- then doth it go, and take to it seven other spirits more evil than itself, and having entered, they dwell there, and the last of that man becometh worst than the first.' Lk. 11:26
- And it came to pass, in his saying these things, a certain woman having lifted up the voice out of the multitude, said to him, `Happy the womb that carried thee, and the paps that thou didst suck!' Lk. 11:27
- And he said, `Yea, rather, happy those hearing the word of God, and keeping it!' Lk. 11:28
- And the multitudes crowding together upon him, he began to say, `This generation is evil, a sign it doth seek after, and a sign shall not be given to it, except the sign of Jonah the prophet, Lk. 11:29
- for as Jonah became a sign to the Ninevites, so also shall the Son of Man be to this generation. Lk. 11:30
- `A queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with the men of this generation, and shall condemn them, because she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and lo, greater than Solomon here! Lk. 11:31
- `Men of Nineveh shall stand up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it, because they reformed at the proclamation of Jonah; and lo, greater than Jonah here! Lk. 11:32
- `And no one having lighted a lamp, doth put it in a secret place, nor under the measure, but on the lamp-stand, that those coming in may behold the light. Lk. 11:33
- `The lamp of the body is the eye, when then thine eye may be simple, thy whole body also is lightened; and when it may be evil, thy body also is darkened; Lk. 11:34
- take heed, then, lest the light that is in thee be darkness; Lk. 11:35
- if then thy whole body is lightened, not having any part darkened, the whole shall be lightened, as when the lamp by the brightness may give thee light.' Lk. 11:36
- and the Pharisee having seen, did wonder that he did not first baptize himself before the dinner. Lk. 11:38
- And the Lord said unto him, `Now do ye, the Pharisees, the outside of the cup and of the plate make clean, but your inward part is full of rapine and wickedness; Lk. 11:39
- unthinking! did not He who made the outside also the inside make? Lk. 11:40
- `But wo to you, the Pharisees, because ye tithe the mint, and the rue, and every herb, and ye pass by the judgment, and the love of God; these things it behoveth to do, and those not to be neglecting. Lk. 11:42
- `Wo to you, the Pharisees, because ye love the first seats in the synagogues, and the salutations in the market-places. Lk. 11:43
- `Wo to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, because ye are as the unseen tombs, and the men walking above have not known.' Lk. 11:44
- And one of the lawyers answering, saith to him, `Teacher, these things saying, us also thou dost insult;' Lk. 11:45
- and he said, `And to you, the lawyers, wo! because ye burden men with burdens grievous to be borne, and ye yourselves with one of your fingers do not touch the burdens. Lk. 11:46
- `Wo to you, because ye build the tombs of the prophets, and your fathers killed them. Lk. 11:47
- Then do ye testify, and are well pleased with the works of your fathers, because they indeed killed them, and ye do build their tombs; Lk. 11:48
- because of this also the wisdom of God said: I will send to them prophets, and apostles, and some of them they shall kill and persecute, Lk. 11:49
- that the blood of all the prophets, that is being poured forth from the foundation of the world, may be required from this generation; Lk. 11:50
- from the blood of Abel unto the blood of Zacharias, who perished between the altar and the house; yes, I say to you, It shall be required from this generation. Lk. 11:51
- `Wo to you, the lawyers, because ye took away the key of the knowledge; yourselves ye did not enter; and those coming in, ye did hinder.' Lk. 11:52
- And in his speaking these things unto them, the scribes and the Pharisees began fearfully to urge and to press him to speak about many things, Lk. 11:53
- At which time the myriads of the multitude having been gathered together, so as to tread upon one another, he began to say unto his disciples, first, `Take heed to yourselves of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy; Lk. 12:1
- because whatever in the darkness ye said, in the light shall be heard: and what to the ear ye spake in the inner-chambers, shall be proclaimed upon the house-tops. Lk. 12:3
- `And I say to you, my friends, be not afraid of those killing the body, and after these things are not having anything over to do; Lk. 12:4
- but I will show to you, whom ye may fear; Fear him who, after the killing, is having authority to cast to the gehenna; yes, I say to you, Fear ye Him. Lk. 12:5
- but even the hairs of your head have been all numbered; therefore fear ye not, than many sparrows ye are of more value. Lk. 12:7
- `And I say to you, Every one -- whoever may confess with me before men, the Son of Man also shall confess with him before the messengers of God, Lk. 12:8
- and he who hath denied me before men, shall be denied before the messengers of God, Lk. 12:9
- and every one whoever shall say a word to the Son of Man, it shall be forgiven to him, but to him who to the Holy Spirit did speak evil, it shall not be forgiven. Lk. 12:10
- `And when they bring you before the synagogues, and the rulers, and the authorities, be not anxious how or what ye may reply, or what ye may say, Lk. 12:11
- for the Holy Spirit shall teach you in that hour what it behoveth you to say.' Lk. 12:12
- And a certain one said to him, out of the multitude, `Teacher, say to my brother to divide with me the inheritance.' Lk. 12:13
- And he said unto them, `Observe, and beware of the covetousness, because not in the abundance of one's goods is his life.' Lk. 12:15
- And he spake a simile unto them, saying, `Of a certain rich man the field brought forth well; Lk. 12:16
- And he said unto his disciples, `Because of this, to you I say, Be not anxious for your life, what ye may eat; nor for the body, what ye may put on; Lk. 12:22
- the life is more than the nourishment, and the body than the clothing. Lk. 12:23
- `Consider the ravens, that they sow not, nor reap, to which there is no barn nor storehouse, and God doth nourish them; how much better are ye than the fowls? Lk. 12:24
- If, then, ye are not able for the least -- why for the rest are ye anxious? Lk. 12:26
- `Consider the lilies, how do they grow? they labour not, nor do they spin, and I say to you, not even Solomon in all his glory was arrayed as one of these; Lk. 12:27
- and if the herbage in the field, that to-day is, and to-morrow into an oven is cast, God doth so clothe, how much more you -- ye of little faith? Lk. 12:28
- for all these things do the nations of the world seek after, and your Father hath known that ye have need of these things; Lk. 12:30
- but, seek ye the reign of God, and all these things shall be added to you. Lk. 12:31
- `Fear not, little flock, because your Father did delight to give you the reign; Lk. 12:32
- sell your goods, and give alms, make to yourselves bags that become not old, a treasure unfailing in the heavens, where thief doth not come near, nor moth destroy; Lk. 12:33
- `Let your loins be girded, and the lamps burning, Lk. 12:35
- and ye like to men waiting for their lord, when he shall return out of the wedding feasts, that he having come and knocked, immediately they may open to him. Lk. 12:36
- `Happy those servants, whom the lord, having come, shall find watching; verily I say to you, that he will gird himself, and will cause them to recline (at meat), and having come near, will minister to them; Lk. 12:37
- and if he may come in the second watch, and in the third watch he may come, and may find it so, happy are those servants. Lk. 12:38
- `And this know, that if the master of the house had known what hour the thief doth come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken through; Lk. 12:39
- and ye, then, become ye ready, because at the hour ye think not, the Son of Man doth come.' Lk. 12:40
- And the Lord said, `Who, then, is the faithful and prudent steward whom the lord shall set over his household, to give in season the wheat measure? Lk. 12:42
- `And if that servant may say in his heart, My lord doth delay to come, and may begin to beat the men-servants and the maid-servants, to eat also, and to drink, and to be drunken; Lk. 12:45
- the lord of that servant will come in a day in which he doth not look for him, and in an hour that he doth not know, and will cut him off, and his portion with the unfaithful he will appoint. Lk. 12:46
- `Fire I came to cast to the earth, and what will I if already it was kindled? Lk. 12:49
- `Think ye that peace I came to give in the earth? no, I say to you, but rather division; Lk. 12:51
- And he said also to the multitudes, `When ye may see the cloud rising from the west, immediately ye say, A shower doth come, and it is so; Lk. 12:54
- hypocrites! the face of the earth and of the heaven ye have known to make proof of, but this time -- how do ye not make proof of it? Lk. 12:56
- for, as thou art going away with thy opponent to the ruler, in the way give diligence to be released from him, lest he may drag thee unto the judge, and the judge may deliver thee to the officer, and the officer may cast thee into prison; Lk. 12:58
- I say to thee, thou mayest not come forth thence till even the last mite thou mayest give back.' Lk. 12:59
- And there were present certain at that time, telling him about the Galileans, whose blood Pilate did mingle with their sacrifices; Lk. 13:1
- and Jesus answering said to them, `Think ye that these Galileans became sinners beyond all the Galileans, because they have suffered such things? Lk. 13:2
- `Or those eighteen, on whom the tower in Siloam fell, and killed them; think ye that these became debtors beyond all men who are dwelling in Jerusalem? Lk. 13:4
- and he said unto the vine-dresser, Lo, three years I come seeking fruit in this fig-tree, and do not find, cut it off, why also the ground doth it render useless? Lk. 13:7
- And he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the sabbath, Lk. 13:10
- And the chief of the synagogue answering -- much displeased that on the sabbath Jesus healed -- said to the multitude, `Six days there are in which it behoveth us to be working; in these, then, coming, be healed, and not on the sabbath-day.' Lk. 13:14
- Then the Lord answered him and said, `Hypocrite, doth not each of you on the sabbath loose his ox or ass from the stall, and having led away, doth water it? Lk. 13:15
- and this one, being a daughter of Abraham, whom the Adversary bound, lo, eighteen years, did it not behove to be loosed from this bond on the sabbath-day?' Lk. 13:16
- And he saying these things, all who were opposed to him were being ashamed, and all the multitude were rejoicing over all the glorious things that are being done by him. Lk. 13:17
- And he said, `To what is the reign of God like? and to what shall I liken it? Lk. 13:18
- It is like to a grain of mustard, which a man having taken, did cast into his garden, and it increased, and came to a great tree, and the fowls of the heavens did rest in its branches.' Lk. 13:19
- And again he said, `To what shall I liken the reign of God? Lk. 13:20
- `Be striving to go in through the straight gate, because many, I say to you, will seek to go in, and shall not be able; Lk. 13:24
- from the time the master of the house may have risen up, and may have shut the door, and ye may begin without to stand, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, lord, open to us, and he answering shall say to you, I have not known you whence ye are, Lk. 13:25
- and he shall say, I say to you, I have not known you whence ye are; depart from me, all ye workers of the unrighteousness. Lk. 13:27
- `There shall be there the weeping and the gnashing of the teeth, when ye may see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the reign of God, and yourselves being cast out without; Lk. 13:28
- and they shall come from east and west, and from north and south, and shall recline in the reign of God, Lk. 13:29
- and he said to them, `Having gone, say to this fox, Lo, I cast forth demons, and perfect cures to-day and to-morrow, and the third day I am being perfected; Lk. 13:32
- but it behoveth me to-day, and to-morrow, and the day following, to go on, because it is not possible for a prophet to perish out of Jerusalem. Lk. 13:33
- `Jerusalem, Jerusalem, that is killing the prophets, and stoning those sent unto her, how often did I will to gather together thy children, as a hen her brood under the wings, and ye did not will. Lk. 13:34
- `Lo, your house is being left to you desolate, and verily I say to you -- ye may not see me, till it may come, when ye may say, Blessed is he who is coming in the name of the Lord.' Lk. 13:35
- And it came to pass, on his going into the house of a certain one of the chiefs of the Pharisees, on a sabbath, to eat bread, that they were watching him, Lk. 14:1
- and Jesus answering spake to the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, `Is it lawful on the sabbath-day to heal?' Lk. 14:3
- and answering them he said, `Of which of you shall an ass or ox fall into a pit, and he will not immediately draw it up on the sabbath-day?' Lk. 14:5
- And he spake a simile unto those called, marking how they were choosing out the first couches, saying unto them, Lk. 14:7
- `When thou mayest be called by any one to marriage-feasts, thou mayest not recline on the first couch, lest a more honourable than thou may have been called by him, Lk. 14:8
- and he who did call thee and him having come shall say to thee, Give to this one place, and then thou mayest begin with shame to occupy the last place. Lk. 14:9
- `But, when thou mayest be called, having gone on, recline in the last place, that when he who called thee may come, he may say to thee, Friend, come up higher; then thou shalt have glory before those reclining with thee; Lk. 14:10
- and happy thou shalt be, because they have not to recompense thee, for it shall be recompensed to thee in the rising again of the righteous.' Lk. 14:14
- And one of those reclining with him, having heard these things, said to him, `Happy is he who shall eat bread in the reign of God;' Lk. 14:15
- and he sent his servant at the hour of the supper to say to those having been called, Be coming, because now are all things ready. Lk. 14:17
- `And they began with one consent all to excuse themselves: The first said to him, A field I bought, and I have need to go forth and see it; I beg of thee, have me excused. Lk. 14:18
- `And that servant having come, told to his lord these things, then the master of the house, having been angry, said to his servant, Go forth quickly to the broad places and lanes of the city, and the poor, and maimed, and lame, and blind, bring in hither. Lk. 14:21
- `And the servant said, Sir, it hath been done as thou didst command, and still there is room. Lk. 14:22
- `And the lord said unto the servant, Go forth to the ways and hedges, and constrain to come in, that my house may be filled; Lk. 14:23
- `For who of you, willing to build a tower, doth not first, having sat down, count the expense, whether he have the things for completing? Lk. 14:28
- and if not so -- he being yet a long way off -- having sent an embassy, he doth ask the things for peace. Lk. 14:32
- `The salt is good, but if the salt doth become tasteless, with what shall it be seasoned? Lk. 14:34
- And all the tax-gatherers and the sinners were coming nigh to him, to hear him, Lk. 15:1
- and the Pharisees and the scribes were murmuring, saying -- This one doth receive sinners, and doth eat with them.' Lk. 15:2
- `What man of you having a hundred sheep, and having lost one out of them, doth not leave behind the ninety-nine in the wilderness, and go on after the lost one, till he may find it? Lk. 15:4
- and having come to the house, he doth call together the friends and the neighbours, saying to them, Rejoice with me, because I found my sheep -- the lost one. Lk. 15:6
- `I say to you, that so joy shall be in the heaven over one sinner reforming, rather than over ninety-nine righteous men, who have no need of reformation. Lk. 15:7
- `Or what woman having ten drachms, if she may lose one drachm, doth not light a lamp, and sweep the house, and seek carefully till that she may find? Lk. 15:8
- and having found, she doth call together the female friends and the neighbours, saying, Rejoice with me, for I found the drachm that I lost. Lk. 15:9
- `So I say to you, joy doth come before the messengers of God over one sinner reforming.' Lk. 15:10
- and the younger of them said to the father, Father, give me the portion of the substance falling to me, and he divided to them the living. Lk. 15:12
- `And not many days after, having gathered all together, the younger son went abroad to a far country, and there he scattered his substance, living riotously; Lk. 15:13
- and having gone on, he joined himself to one of the citizens of that country, and he sent him to the fields to feed swine, Lk. 15:15
- and he was desirous to fill his belly from the husks that the swine were eating, and no one was giving to him. Lk. 15:16
- having risen, I will go on unto my father, and will say to him, Father, I did sin -- to the heaven, and before thee, Lk. 15:18
- and the son said to him, Father, I did sin -- to the heaven, and before thee, and no more am I worthy to be called thy son. Lk. 15:21
- `And the father said unto his servants, Bring forth the first robe, and clothe him, and give a ring for his hand, and sandals for the feet; Lk. 15:22
- and having brought the fatted calf, kill it, and having eaten, we may be merry, Lk. 15:23
- `And his elder son was in a field, and as, coming, he drew nigh to the house, he heard music and dancing, Lk. 15:25
- and having called near one of the young men, he was inquiring what these things might be, Lk. 15:26
- and he said to him -- Thy brother is arrived, and thy father did kill the fatted calf, because in health he did receive him back. Lk. 15:27
- and he answering said to the father, Lo, so many years I do serve thee, and never thy command did I transgress, and to me thou didst never give a kid, that with my friends I might make merry; Lk. 15:29
- but when thy son -- this one who did devour thy living with harlots -- came, thou didst kill to him the fatted calf. Lk. 15:30
- and having called him, he said to him, What is this I hear about thee? render the account of thy stewardship, for thou mayest not any longer be steward. Lk. 16:2
- `And the steward said in himself, What shall I do, because my lord doth take away the stewardship from me? to dig I am not able, to beg I am ashamed: -- Lk. 16:3
- I have known what I shall do, that, when I may be removed from the stewardship, they may receive me to their houses. Lk. 16:4
- `And having called near each one of his lord's debtors, he said to the first, How much dost thou owe to my lord? Lk. 16:5
- `And the lord commended the unrighteous steward that he did prudently, because the sons of this age are more prudent than the sons of the light, in respect to their generation. Lk. 16:8
- and I say to you, Make to yourselves friends out of the mammon of unrighteousness, that when ye may fail, they may receive you to the age-during tabernacles. Lk. 16:9
- `He who is faithful in the least, is also faithful in much; and he who in the least is unrighteous, is also unrighteous in much; Lk. 16:10
- if, then, in the unrighteous mammon ye became not faithful -- the true who will entrust to you? Lk. 16:11
- and if in the other's ye became not faithful -- your own, who shall give to you? Lk. 16:12
- `No domestic is able to serve two lords, for either the one he will hate, and the other he will love; or one he will hold to, and of the other he will be heedless; ye are not able to serve God and mammon.' Lk. 16:13
- And also the Pharisees, being lovers of money, were hearing all these things, and were deriding him, Lk. 16:14
- the law and the prophets are till John; since then the reign of God is proclaimed good news, and every one doth press into it; Lk. 16:16
- and it is easier to the heaven and the earth to pass away, than of the law one tittle to fall. Lk. 16:17
- and desiring to be filled from the crumbs that are falling from the table of the rich man; yea, also the dogs, coming, were licking his sores. Lk. 16:21
- `And it came to pass, that the poor man died, and that he was carried away by the messengers to the bosom of Abraham -- and the rich man also died, and was buried; Lk. 16:22
- and in the hades having lifted up his eyes, being in torments, he doth see Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom, Lk. 16:23
- and having cried, he said, Father Abraham, deal kindly with me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and may cool my tongue, because I am distressed in this flame. Lk. 16:24
- `And Abraham said, Child, remember that thou did receive -- thou -- thy good things in thy life, and Lazarus in like manner the evil things, and now he is comforted, and thou art distressed; Lk. 16:25
- `And he said, I pray thee, then, father, that thou mayest send him to the house of my father, Lk. 16:27
- `Abraham saith to him, They have Moses and the prophets, let them hear them; Lk. 16:29
- and he said, No, father Abraham, but if any one from the dead may go unto them, they will reform. Lk. 16:30
- And he said to him, If Moses and the prophets they do not hear, neither if one may rise out of the dead will they be persuaded.' Lk. 16:31
- And he said unto the disciples, `It is impossible for the stumbling blocks not to come, but wo to him through whom they come; Lk. 17:1
- it is more profitable to him if a weighty millstone is put round about his neck, and he hath been cast into the sea, than that he may cause one of these little ones to stumble. Lk. 17:2
- and if seven times in the day he may sin against thee, and seven times in the day may turn back to thee, saying, I reform; thou shalt forgive him.' Lk. 17:4
- And the apostles said to the Lord, `Add to us faith;' Lk. 17:5
- and the Lord said, `If ye had faith as a grain of mustard, ye would have said to this sycamine, Be uprooted, and be planted in the sea, and it would have obeyed you. Lk. 17:6
- `But, who is he of you -- having a servant ploughing or feeding -- who, to him having come in out of the field, will say, Having come near, recline at meat? Lk. 17:7
- Hath he favour to that servant because he did the things directed? I think not. Lk. 17:9
- `So also ye, when ye may have done all the things directed you, say -- We are unprofitable servants, because that which we owed to do -- we have done.' Lk. 17:10
- And it came to pass, in his going on to Jerusalem, that he passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee, Lk. 17:11
- and they lifted up the voice, saying, `Jesus, master, deal kindly with us;' Lk. 17:13
- and having seen them, he said to them, `Having gone on, shew yourselves to the priests;' and it came to pass, in their going, they were cleansed, Lk. 17:14
- And Jesus answering said, `Were not the ten cleansed, and the nine -- where? Lk. 17:17
- And having been questioned by the Pharisees, when the reign of God doth come, he answered them, and said, `The reign of God doth not come with observation; Lk. 17:20
- nor shall they say, Lo, here; or lo, there; for lo, the reign of God is within you.' Lk. 17:21
- And he said unto his disciples, `Days will come, when ye shall desire to see one of the days of the Son of Man, and ye shall not behold it; Lk. 17:22
- for as the lightning that is lightening out of the one part under heaven, to the other part under heaven doth shine, so shall be also the Son of Man in his day; Lk. 17:24
- `And, as it came to pass in the days of Noah, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of Man; Lk. 17:26
- they were eating, they were drinking, they were marrying, they were given in marriage, till the day that Noah entered into the ark, and the deluge came, and destroyed all; Lk. 17:27
- in like manner also, as it came to pass in the days of Lot; they were eating, they were drinking, they were buying, they were selling, they were planting, they were building; Lk. 17:28
- and on the day Lot went forth from Sodom, He rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed all. Lk. 17:29
- `According to these things it shall be, in the day the Son of Man is revealed; Lk. 17:30
- in that day, he who shall be on the house top, and his vessels in the house, let him not come down to take them away; and he in the field, in like manner, let him not turn backward; Lk. 17:31
- remember the wife of Lot. Lk. 17:32
- `I say to you, In that night, there shall be two men on one couch, the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left; Lk. 17:34
- two women shall be grinding at the same place together, the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left; Lk. 17:35
- two men shall be in the field, the one shall be taken, and the other left.' Lk. 17:36
- And they answering say to him, `Where, sir?' and he said to them, `Where the body is, there will the eagles be gathered together.' Lk. 17:37
- And the Lord said, `Hear ye what the unrighteous judge saith: Lk. 18:6
- and shall not God execute the justice to His choice ones, who are crying unto Him day and night -- bearing long in regard to them? Lk. 18:7
- I say to you, that He will execute the justice to them quickly; but the Son of Man having come, shall he find the faith upon the earth?' Lk. 18:8
- And he spake also unto certain who have been trusting in themselves that they were righteous, and have been despising the rest, this simile: Lk. 18:9
- `Two men went up to the temple to pray, the one a Pharisee, and the other a tax-gatherer; Lk. 18:10
- the Pharisee having stood by himself, thus prayed: God, I thank Thee that I am not as the rest of men, rapacious, unrighteous, adulterers, or even as this tax-gatherer; Lk. 18:11
- I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all things -- as many as I possess. Lk. 18:12
- `And the tax-gatherer, having stood afar off, would not even the eyes lift up to the heaven, but was smiting on his breast, saying, God be propitious to me -- the sinner! Lk. 18:13
- And they were bringing near also the babes, that he may touch them, and the disciples having seen did rebuke them, Lk. 18:15
- and Jesus having called them near, said, `Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not, for of such is the reign of God; Lk. 18:16
- verily I say to you, Whoever may not receive the reign of God as a little child, may not enter into it.' Lk. 18:17
- the commands thou hast known: Thou mayest not commit adultery, Thou mayest do no murder, Thou mayest not steal, Thou mayest not bear false witness, Honour thy father and thy mother.' Lk. 18:20
- and having heard these things, Jesus said to him, `Yet one thing to thee is lacking; all things -- as many as thou hast -- sell, and distribute to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven, and come, be following me;' Lk. 18:22
- And Jesus having seen him become very sorrowful, said, `How hardly shall those having riches enter into the reign of God! Lk. 18:24
- for it is easier for a camel through the eye of a needle to enter, than for a rich man into the reign of God to enter.' Lk. 18:25
- and he said, `The things impossible with men are possible with God.' Lk. 18:27
- and he said to them, `Verily I say to you, that there is not one who left house, or parents, or brothers, or wife, or children, for the sake of the reign of God, Lk. 18:29
- who may not receive back manifold more in this time, and in the coming age, life age-during.' Lk. 18:30
- And having taken the twelve aside, he said unto them, `Lo, we go up to Jerusalem, and all things shall be completed -- that have been written through the prophets -- to the Son of Man, Lk. 18:31
- for he shall be delivered up to the nations, and shall be mocked, and insulted, and spit upon, Lk. 18:32
- and having scourged they shall put him to death, and on the third day he shall rise again.' Lk. 18:33
- And they none of these things understood, and this saying was hid from them, and they were not knowing the things said. Lk. 18:34
- And it came to pass, in his coming nigh to Jericho, a certain blind man was sitting beside the way begging, Lk. 18:35
- and they brought him word that Jesus the Nazarene doth pass by, Lk. 18:37
- and presently he did receive sight, and was following him, glorifying God; and all the people, having seen, did give praise to God. Lk. 18:43
- and he was seeking to see Jesus, who he is, and was not able for the multitude, because in stature he was small, Lk. 19:3
- And as Jesus came up to the place, having looked up, he saw him, and said unto him, `Zaccheus, having hastened, come down, for to-day in thy house it behoveth me to remain;' Lk. 19:5
- And Zaccheus having stood, said unto the Lord, `Lo, the half of my goods, sir, I give to the poor, and if of any one anything I did take by false accusation, I give back fourfold.' Lk. 19:8
- for the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.' Lk. 19:10
- And while they are hearing these things, having added he spake a simile, because of his being nigh to Jerusalem, and of their thinking that the reign of God is about presently to be made manifest. Lk. 19:11
- `And it came to pass, on his coming back, having taken the kingdom, that he commanded these servants to be called to him, to whom he gave the money, that he might know what any one had done in business. Lk. 19:15
- `And the first came near, saying, Sir, thy pound did gain ten pounds; Lk. 19:16
- `And the second came, saying, Sir, thy pound made five pounds; Lk. 19:18
- and wherefore didst thou not give my money to the bank, and I, having come, with interest might have received it? Lk. 19:23
- `And to those standing by he said, Take from him the pound, and give to him having the ten pounds -- Lk. 19:24
- And it came to pass, as he came nigh to Bethphage and Bethany, unto the mount called of the Olives, he sent two of his disciples, Lk. 19:29
- having said, `Go away to the village over-against, in which, entering into, ye shall find a colt bound, on which no one of men did ever sit, having loosed it, bring it; Lk. 19:30
- and if any one doth question you, Wherefore do ye loose it? thus ye shall say to him -- The Lord hath need of it.' Lk. 19:31
- and while they are loosing the colt, its owners said unto them, `Why loose ye the colt?' Lk. 19:33
- and they said, `The Lord hath need of it;' Lk. 19:34
- and they brought it unto Jesus, and having cast their garments upon the colt, they did set Jesus upon it. Lk. 19:35
- And as he is going, they were spreading their garments in the way, Lk. 19:36
- and as he is coming nigh now, at the descent of the mount of the Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began rejoicing to praise God with a great voice for all the mighty works they had seen, Lk. 19:37
- saying, `blessed is he who is coming, a king in the name of the Lord; peace in heaven, and glory in the highest.' Lk. 19:38
- And certain of the Pharisees from the multitude said unto him, `Teacher, rebuke thy disciples;' Lk. 19:39
- and he answering said to them, `I say to you, that, if these shall be silent, the stones will cry out!' Lk. 19:40
- And when he came nigh, having seen the city, he wept over it, Lk. 19:41
- saying -- `If thou didst know, even thou, at least in this thy day, the things for thy peace; but now they were hid from thine eyes. Lk. 19:42
- and lay thee low, and thy children within thee, and they shall not leave in thee a stone upon a stone, because thou didst not know the time of thy inspection.' Lk. 19:44
- And having entered into the temple, he began to cast forth those selling in it, and those buying, Lk. 19:45
- And he was teaching daily in the temple, but the chief priests and the scribes were seeking to destroy him -- also the chiefs of the people -- Lk. 19:47
- and they were not finding what they shall do, for all the people were hanging on him, hearing him. Lk. 19:48
- And it came to pass, on one of those days, as he is teaching the people in the temple, and proclaiming good news, the chief priests and the scribes, with the elders, came upon him, Lk. 20:1
- the baptism of John, from heaven was it, or from men?' Lk. 20:4
- and if we may say, From men, all the people will stone us, for they are having been persuaded John to be a prophet.' Lk. 20:6
- And he began to speak unto the people this simile: `A certain man planted a vineyard, and gave it out to husbandmen, and went abroad for a long time, Lk. 20:9
- and at the season he sent unto the husbandmen a servant, that from the fruit of the vineyard they may give to him, but the husbandmen having beat him, did send him away empty. Lk. 20:10
- `And the owner of the vineyard said, What shall I do? I will send my son -- the beloved, perhaps having seen this one, they will do reverence; Lk. 20:13
- and having seen him, the husbandmen reasoned among themselves, saying, This is the heir; come, we may kill him, that the inheritance may become ours; Lk. 20:14
- and having cast him outside of the vineyard, they killed him; what, then, shall the owner of the vineyard do to them? Lk. 20:15
- He will come, and destroy these husbandmen, and will give the vineyard to others.' And having heard, they said, `Let it not be!' Lk. 20:16
- and he, having looked upon them, said, `What, then, is this that hath been written: A stone that the builders rejected -- this became head of a corner? Lk. 20:17
- And the chief priests and the scribes sought to lay hands on him in that hour, and they feared the people, for they knew that against them he spake this simile. Lk. 20:19
- And, having watched him, they sent forth liers in wait, feigning themselves to be righteous, that they might take hold of his word, to deliver him up to the rule and to the authority of the governor, Lk. 20:20
- and they questioned him, saying, `Teacher, we have known that thou dost say and teach rightly, and dost not accept a person, but in truth the way of God dost teach; Lk. 20:21
- and he said to them, `Give back, therefore, the things of Caesar to Caesar, and the things of God to God;' Lk. 20:25
- and they were not able to take hold on his saying before the people, and having wondered at his answer, they were silent. Lk. 20:26
- And certain of the Sadducees, who are denying that there is a rising again, having come near, questioned him, Lk. 20:27
- saying, `Teacher, Moses wrote to us, If any one's brother may die, having a wife, and he may die childless -- that his brother may take the wife, and may raise up seed to his brother. Lk. 20:28
- `There were, then, seven brothers, and the first having taken a wife, died childless, Lk. 20:29
- and the second took the wife, and he died childless, Lk. 20:30
- and the third took her, and in like manner also the seven -- they left not children, and they died; Lk. 20:31
- and last of all died also the woman: Lk. 20:32
- in the rising again, then, of which of them doth she become wife? -- for the seven had her as wife.' Lk. 20:33
- And Jesus answering said to them, `The sons of this age do marry and are given in marriage, Lk. 20:34
- but those accounted worthy to obtain that age, and the rising again that is out of the dead, neither marry, nor are they given in marriage; Lk. 20:35
- for neither are they able to die any more -- for they are like messengers -- and they are sons of God, being sons of the rising again. Lk. 20:36
- `And that the dead are raised, even Moses shewed at the Bush, since he doth call the Lord, the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob; Lk. 20:37
- And certain of the scribes answering said, `Teacher, thou didst say well;' Lk. 20:39
- And he said unto them, `How do they say the Christ to be son of David, Lk. 20:41
- and David himself saith in the Book of Psalms, The Lord said to my lord, Sit thou on my right hand, Lk. 20:42
- And, all the people hearing, he said to his disciples, Lk. 20:45
- `Take heed of the scribes, who are wishing to walk in long robes, and are loving salutations in the markets, and first seats in the synagogues, and first couches in the suppers, Lk. 20:46
- who devour the houses of the widows, and for a pretence make long prayers, these shall receive more abundant judgment.' Lk. 20:47
- And having looked up, he saw those who did cast their gifts to the treasury -- rich men, Lk. 21:1
- for all these out of their superabundance did cast into the gifts to God, but this one out of her want, all the living that she had, did cast in.' Lk. 21:4
- And certain saying about the temple, that with goodly stones and devoted things it hath been adorned, he said, Lk. 21:5
- And they questioned him, saying, `Teacher, when, then, shall these things be? and what is the sign when these things may be about to happen?' Lk. 21:7
- And he said, `See -- ye may not be led astray, for many shall come in my name, saying -- I am he, and the time hath come nigh; go not on then after them; Lk. 21:8
- and when ye may hear of wars and uprisings, be not terrified, for it behoveth these things to happen first, but the end is not immediately.' Lk. 21:9
- then those in Judea, let them flee to the mountains; and those in her midst, let them depart out; and those in the countries, let them not come in to her; Lk. 21:21
- `And wo to those with child, and to those giving suck, in those days; for there shall be great distress on the land, and wrath on this people; Lk. 21:23
- and they shall fall by the mouth of the sword, and shall be led captive to all the nations, and Jerusalem shall be trodden down by nations, till the times of nations be fulfilled. Lk. 21:24
- `And there shall be signs in sun, and moon, and stars, and on the land is distress of nations with perplexity, sea and billow roaring; Lk. 21:25
- men fainting at heart from fear, and expectation of the things coming on the world, for the powers of the heavens shall be shaken. Lk. 21:26
- `And then they shall see the Son of Man, coming in a cloud, with power and much glory; Lk. 21:27
- And he spake a simile to them: `See the fig-tree, and all the trees, Lk. 21:29
- when they may now cast forth, having seen, of yourselves ye know that now is the summer nigh; Lk. 21:30
- so also ye, when ye may see these things happening, ye know that near is the reign of God; Lk. 21:31
- the heaven and the earth shall pass away, but my words may not pass away. Lk. 21:33
- for as a snare it shall come on all those dwelling on the face of all the land, Lk. 21:35
- watch ye, then, in every season, praying that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that are about to come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man.' Lk. 21:36
- And he was during the days in the temple teaching, and during the nights, going forth, he was lodging at the mount called of Olives; Lk. 21:37
- and all the people were coming early unto him in the temple to hear him. Lk. 21:38
- And the feast of the unleavened food was coming nigh, that is called Passover, Lk. 22:1
- and the chief priests and the scribes were seeking how they may take him up, for they were afraid of the people. Lk. 22:2
- And the Adversary entered into Judas, who is surnamed Iscariot, being of the number of the twelve, Lk. 22:3
- and he, having gone away, spake with the chief priests and the magistrates, how he might deliver him up to them, Lk. 22:4
- And the day of the unleavened food came, in which it was behoving the passover to be sacrificed, Lk. 22:7
- and he sent Peter and John, saying, `Having gone on, prepare to us the passover, that we may eat;' Lk. 22:8
- And he said to them, `Lo, in your entering into the city, there shall meet you a man, bearing a pitcher of water, follow him to the house where he doth go in, Lk. 22:10
- and ye shall say to the master of the house, The Teacher saith to thee, Where is the guest-chamber where the passover with my disciples I may eat? Lk. 22:11
- and they, having gone away, found as he hath said to them, and they made ready the passover. Lk. 22:13
- And when the hour come, he reclined (at meat), and the twelve apostles with him, Lk. 22:14
- for I say to you, that no more may I eat of it till it may be fulfilled in the reign of God.' Lk. 22:16
- for I say to you that I may not drink of the produce of the vine till the reign of God may come.' Lk. 22:18
- In like manner, also, the cup after the supping, saying, `This cup is the new covenant in my blood, that for you is being poured forth. Lk. 22:20
- `But, lo, the hand of him delivering me up is with me on the table, Lk. 22:21
- and indeed the Son of Man doth go according to what hath been determined; but wo to that man through whom he is being delivered up.' Lk. 22:22
- And he said to them, `The kings of the nations do exercise lordship over them, and those exercising authority upon them are called benefactors; Lk. 22:25
- but ye are not so, but he who is greater among you -- let him be as the younger; and he who is leading, as he who is ministering; Lk. 22:26
- that ye may eat and may drink at my table, in my kingdom, and may sit on thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.' Lk. 22:30
- And the Lord said, `Simon, Simon, lo, the Adversary did ask you for himself to sift as the wheat, Lk. 22:31
- for I say to you, that yet this that hath been written it behoveth to be fulfilled in me: And with lawless ones he was reckoned, for also the things concerning me have an end.' Lk. 22:37
- And having gone forth, he went on, according to custom, to the mount of the Olives, and his disciples also followed him, Lk. 22:39
- and having come to the place, he said to them, `Pray ye not to enter into temptation.' Lk. 22:40
- And he was withdrawn from them, as it were a stone's cast, and having fallen on the knees he was praying, Lk. 22:41
- and having been in agony, he was more earnestly praying, and his sweat became, as it were, great drops of blood falling upon the ground. Lk. 22:44
- And having risen up from the prayer, having come unto the disciples, he found them sleeping from the sorrow, Lk. 22:45
- And while he is speaking, lo, a multitude, and he who is called Judas, one of the twelve, was coming before them, and he came nigh to Jesus to kiss him, Lk. 22:47
- and Jesus said to him, `Judas, with a kiss the Son of Man dost thou deliver up?' Lk. 22:48
- And a certain one of them smote the servant of the chief priest, and took off his right ear, Lk. 22:50
- And Jesus said to those having come upon him -- chief priests, and magistrates of the temple, and elders -- `As upon a robber have ye come forth, with swords and sticks? Lk. 22:52
- while daily I was with you in the temple, ye did stretch forth no hands against me; but this is your hour and the power of the darkness.' Lk. 22:53
- And having taken him, they led and brought him to the house of the chief priest. And Peter was following afar off, Lk. 22:54
- and they having kindled a fire in the midst of the court, and having sat down together, Peter was sitting in the midst of them, Lk. 22:55
- and a certain maid having seen him sitting at the light, and having earnestly looked at him, she said, `And this one was with him!' Lk. 22:56
- And the Lord having turned did look on Peter, and Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how he said to him -- `Before a cock shall crow, thou mayest disown me thrice;' Lk. 22:61
- And the men who were holding Jesus were mocking him, beating him; Lk. 22:63
- and having blindfolded him, they were striking him on the face, and were questioning him, saying, `Prophesy who he is who smote thee?' Lk. 22:64
- And when it became day there was gathered together the eldership of the people, chief priests also, and scribes, and they led him up to their own sanhedrim, Lk. 22:66
- saying, `If thou be the Christ, tell us.' And he said to them, `If I may tell you, ye will not believe; Lk. 22:67
- henceforth, there shall be the Son of Man sitting on the right hand of the power of God.' Lk. 22:69
- And they all said, `Thou, then, art the Son of God?' and he said unto them, `Ye say it, because I am;' Lk. 22:70
- And having risen, the whole multitude of them did lead him to Pilate, Lk. 23:1
- and began to accuse him, saying, `This one we found perverting the nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Caesar, saying himself to be Christ a king.' Lk. 23:2
- And Pilate questioned him, saying, `Thou art the king of the Jews?' and he answering him, said, `Thou dost say it.' Lk. 23:3
- And Pilate said unto the chief priests, and the multitude, `I find no fault in this man;' Lk. 23:4
- and they were the more urgent, saying -- `He doth stir up the people, teaching throughout the whole of Judea -- having begun from Galilee -- unto this place.' Lk. 23:5
- And Pilate having heard of Galilee, questioned if the man is a Galilean, Lk. 23:6
- and having known that he is from the jurisdiction of Herod, he sent him back unto Herod, he being also in Jerusalem in those days. Lk. 23:7
- And the chief priests and the scribes stood vehemently accusing him, Lk. 23:10
- And Pilate having called together the chief priests, and the rulers, and the people, Lk. 23:13
- said unto them, `Ye brought to me this man as perverting the people, and lo, I before you having examined, found in this man no fault in those things ye bring forward against him; Lk. 23:14
- and they cried out -- the whole multitude -- saying, `Away with this one, and release to us Barabbas,' Lk. 23:18
- who had been, because of a certain sedition made in the city, and murder, cast into prison. Lk. 23:19
- And they were pressing with loud voices asking him to be crucified, and their voices, and those of the chief priests, were prevailing, Lk. 23:23
- and he released him who because of sedition and murder hath been cast into the prison, whom they were asking, and Jesus he gave up to their will. Lk. 23:25
- And as they led him away, having taken hold on Simon, a certain Cyrenian, coming from the field, they put on him the cross, to bear it behind Jesus. Lk. 23:26
- And there was following him a great multitude of the people, and of women, who also were beating themselves and lamenting him, Lk. 23:27
- for, lo, days do come, in which they shall say, Happy the barren, and wombs that did not bare, and paps that did not give suck; Lk. 23:29
- then they shall begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us, and to the hills, Cover us; -- Lk. 23:30
- for, if in the green tree they do these things -- in the dry what may happen?' Lk. 23:31
- and when they came to the place that is called Skull, there they crucified him and the evil-doers, one on the right hand and one on the left. Lk. 23:33
- And the people were standing, looking on, and the rulers also were sneering with them, saying, `Others he saved, let him save himself, if this be the Christ, the choice one of God.' Lk. 23:35
- And mocking him also were the soldiers, coming near and offering vinegar to him, Lk. 23:36
- and saying, `If thou be the king of the Jews, save thyself.' Lk. 23:37
- And there was also a superscription written over him, in letters of Greek, and Roman, and Hebrew, `This is the King of the Jews.' Lk. 23:38
- And one of the evil-doers who were hanged, was speaking evil of him, saying, `If thou be the Christ, save thyself and us.' Lk. 23:39
- And the other answering, was rebuking him, saying, `Dost thou not even fear God, that thou art in the same judgment? Lk. 23:40
- and Jesus said to him, `Verily I say to thee, To-day with me thou shalt be in the paradise.' Lk. 23:43
- And it was, as it were, the sixth hour, and darkness came over all the land till the ninth hour, Lk. 23:44
- and the sun was darkened, and the vail of the sanctuary was rent in the midst, Lk. 23:45
- and having cried with a loud voice, Jesus said, `Father, to Thy hands I commit my spirit;' and these things having said, he breathed forth the spirit. Lk. 23:46
- And the centurion having seen what was done, did glorify God, saying, `Really this man was righteous;' Lk. 23:47
- and all the multitudes who were come together to this sight, beholding the things that came to pass, smiting their breasts did turn back; Lk. 23:48
- -- he was not consenting to their counsel and deed -- from Arimathea, a city of the Jews, who also himself was expecting the reign of God, Lk. 23:51
- he, having gone near to Pilate, asked the body of Jesus, Lk. 23:52
- And the day was a preparation, and sabbath was approaching, Lk. 23:54
- and the women also who have come with him out of Galilee having followed after, beheld the tomb, and how his body was placed, Lk. 23:55
- and having turned back, they made ready spices and ointments, and on the sabbath, indeed, they rested, according to the command. Lk. 23:56
- And on the first of the sabbaths, at early dawn, they came to the tomb, bearing the spices they made ready, and certain others with them, Lk. 24:1
- and they found the stone having been rolled away from the tomb, Lk. 24:2
- and having gone in, they found not the body of the Lord Jesus. Lk. 24:3
- and on their having become afraid, and having inclined the face to the earth, they said to them, `Why do ye seek the living with the dead? Lk. 24:5
- saying -- It behoveth the Son of Man to be delivered up to the hands of sinful men, and to be crucified, and the third day to rise again.' Lk. 24:7
- and having turned back from the tomb told all these things to the eleven, and to all the rest. Lk. 24:9
- And it was the Magdalene Mary, and Joanna, and Mary of James, and the other women with them, who told unto the apostles these things, Lk. 24:10
- And Peter having risen, did run to the tomb, and having stooped down he seeth the linen clothes lying alone, and he went away to his own home, wondering at that which was come to pass. Lk. 24:12
- And, lo, two of them were going on during that day to a village, distant sixty furlongs from Jerusalem, the name of which is Emmaus, Lk. 24:13
- And the one, whose name was Cleopas, answering, said unto him, `Art thou alone such a stranger in Jerusalem, that thou hast not known the things that came to pass in it in these days?' Lk. 24:18
- And he said to them, `What things?' And they said to him, `The things about Jesus of Nazareth, who became a man -- a prophet -- powerful in deed and word, before God and all the people, Lk. 24:19
- how also the chief priests and our rulers did deliver him up to a judgment of death, and crucified him; Lk. 24:20
- `And certain women of ours also astonished us, coming early to the tomb, Lk. 24:22
- and certain of those with us went away unto the tomb, and found as even the women said, and him they saw not.' Lk. 24:24
- And he said unto them, `O inconsiderate and slow in heart, to believe on all that the prophets spake! Lk. 24:25
- Was it not behoving the Christ these things to suffer, and to enter into his glory?' Lk. 24:26
- and having begun from Moses, and from all the prophets, he was expounding to them in all the Writings the things about himself. Lk. 24:27
- And they came nigh to the village whither they were going, and he made an appearance of going on further, Lk. 24:28
- and they constrained him, saying, `Remain with us, for it is toward evening,' and the day did decline, and he went in to remain with them. Lk. 24:29
- And it came to pass, in his reclining (at meat) with them, having taken the bread, he blessed, and having broken, he was giving to them, Lk. 24:30
- And they said one to another, `Was not our heart burning within us, as he was speaking to us in the way, and as he was opening up to us the Writings?' Lk. 24:32
- And they, having risen up the same hour, turned back to Jerusalem, and found gathered together the eleven, and those with them, Lk. 24:33
- saying -- `The Lord was raised indeed, and was seen by Simon;' Lk. 24:34
- and they were telling the things in the way, and how he was made known to them in the breaking of the bread, Lk. 24:35
- and as they are speaking these things, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and saith to them, `Peace -- to you;' Lk. 24:36
- And having said this, he shewed to them the hands and the feet, Lk. 24:40
- and while they are not believing from the joy, and wondering, he said to them, `Have ye anything here to eat?' Lk. 24:41
- and he said to them, `These are the words that I spake unto you, being yet with you, that it behoveth to be fulfilled all the things that are written in the Law of Moses, and the Prophets, and the Psalms, about me.' Lk. 24:44
- Then opened he up their understanding to understand the Writings, Lk. 24:45
- and he said to them -- `Thus it hath been written, and thus it was behoving the Christ to suffer, and to rise out of the dead the third day, Lk. 24:46
- and reformation and remission of sins to be proclaimed in his name to all the nations, beginning from Jerusalem: Lk. 24:47
- `And, lo, I do send the promise of my Father upon you, but ye -- abide ye in the city of Jerusalem till ye be clothed with power from on high.' Lk. 24:49
- and it came to pass, in his blessing them, he was parted from them, and was borne up to the heaven; Lk. 24:51
- and were continually in the temple, praising and blessing God. Amen. Lk. 24:53
- In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God; Jn. 1:1
- this one was in the beginning with God; Jn. 1:2
- In him was life, and the life was the light of men, Jn. 1:4
- and the light in the darkness did shine, and the darkness did not perceive it. Jn. 1:5
- this one came for testimony, that he might testify about the Light, that all might believe through him; Jn. 1:7
- that one was not the Light, but -- that he might testify about the Light. Jn. 1:8
- He was the true Light, which doth enlighten every man, coming to the world; Jn. 1:9
- in the world he was, and the world through him was made, and the world did not know him: Jn. 1:10
- And the Word became flesh, and did tabernacle among us, and we beheld his glory, glory as of an only begotten of a father, full of grace and truth. Jn. 1:14
- for the law through Moses was given, the grace and the truth through Jesus Christ did come; Jn. 1:17
- God no one hath ever seen; the only begotten Son, who is on the bosom of the Father -- he did declare. Jn. 1:18
- And this is the testimony of John, when the Jews sent out of Jerusalem priests and Levites, that they might question him, `Who art thou?' Jn. 1:19
- and he confessed and did not deny, and confessed -- `I am not the Christ.' Jn. 1:20
- And they questioned him, `What then? Elijah art thou?' and he saith, `I am not.' -- `The prophet art thou?' and he answered, `No.' Jn. 1:21
- He said, `I am a voice of one crying in the wilderness: Make straight the way of the Lord, as said Isaiah the prophet.' Jn. 1:23
- And those sent were of the Pharisees, Jn. 1:24
- and they questioned him and said to him, `Why, then, dost thou baptize, if thou art not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the prophet?' Jn. 1:25
- of whom I am not worthy that I may loose the cord of his sandal.' Jn. 1:27
- These things came to pass in Bethabara, beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing, Jn. 1:28
- on the morrow John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, `Lo, the Lamb of God, who is taking away the sin of the world; Jn. 1:29
- and I knew him not, but, that he might be manifested to Israel, because of this I came with the water baptizing. Jn. 1:31
- And John testified, saying -- `I have seen the Spirit coming down, as a dove, out of heaven, and it remained on him; Jn. 1:32
- and I did not know him, but he who sent me to baptize with water, He said to me, On whomsoever thou mayst see the Spirit coming down, and remaining on him, this is he who is baptizing with the Holy Spirit; Jn. 1:33
- and I have seen, and have testified, that this is the Son of God.' Jn. 1:34
- On the morrow, again, John was standing, and two of his disciples, Jn. 1:35
- and having looked on Jesus walking, he saith, `Lo, the Lamb of God;' Jn. 1:36
- and the two disciples heard him speaking, and they followed Jesus. Jn. 1:37
- He saith to them, `Come and see;' they came, and saw where he doth remain, and with him they remained that day and the hour was about the tenth. Jn. 1:39
- Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, was one of the two who heard from John, and followed him; Jn. 1:40
- this one doth first find his own brother Simon, and saith to him, `We have found the Messiah,' (which is, being interpreted, The Anointed,) Jn. 1:41
- and he brought him unto Jesus: and having looked upon him, Jesus saith, `Thou art Simon, the son of Jonas, thou shalt be called Cephas,' (which is interpreted, A rock.) Jn. 1:42
- On the morrow, he willed to go forth to Galilee, and he findeth Philip, and saith to him, `Be following me.' Jn. 1:43
- And Philip was from Bethsaida, of the city of Andrew and Peter; Jn. 1:44
- Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith to him, `Him of whom Moses wrote in the Law, and the prophets, we have found, Jesus the son of Joseph, who is from Nazareth;' Jn. 1:45
- Nathanael saith to him, `Whence me dost thou know?' Jesus answered and said to him, `Before Philip's calling thee -- thou being under the fig-tree -- I saw thee.' Jn. 1:48
- Nathanael answered and saith to him, `Rabbi, thou art the Son of God, thou art the king of Israel.' Jn. 1:49
- Jesus answered and said to him, `Because I said to thee, I saw thee under the fig-tree, thou dost believe; greater things than these thou shalt see;' Jn. 1:50
- and he saith to him, `Verily, verily, I say to you, henceforth ye shall see the heaven opened, and the messengers of God going up and coming down upon the Son of Man.' Jn. 1:51
- And the third day a marriage happened in Cana of Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there, Jn. 2:1
- and also Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the marriage; Jn. 2:2
- and wine having failed, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, `Wine they have not;' Jn. 2:3
- His mother saith to the ministrants, `Whatever he may say to you -- do.' Jn. 2:5
- And there were there six water-jugs of stone, placed according to the purifying of the Jews, holding each two or three measures. Jn. 2:6
- Jesus saith to them, `Fill the water-jugs with water;' and they filled them -- unto the brim; Jn. 2:7
- and he saith to them, `Draw out, now, and bear to the director of the apartment;' and they bare. Jn. 2:8
- And as the director of the apartment tasted the water become wine, and knew not whence it is, (but the ministrants knew, who have drawn the water,) the director of the feast doth call the bridegroom, Jn. 2:9
- and saith to him, `Every man, at first, the good wine doth set forth; and when they may have drunk freely, then the inferior; thou didst keep the good wine till now.' Jn. 2:10
- This beginning of the signs did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested his glory, and his disciples believed in him; Jn. 2:11
- And the passover of the Jews was nigh, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem, Jn. 2:13
- and he found in the temple those selling oxen, and sheep, and doves, and the money-changers sitting, Jn. 2:14
- and having made a whip of small cords, he put all forth out of the temple, also the sheep, and the oxen; and of the money-changers he poured out the coins, and the tables he overthrew, Jn. 2:15
- and to those selling the doves he said, `Take these things hence; make not the house of my Father a house of merchandise.' Jn. 2:16
- And his disciples remembered that it is written, `The zeal of Thy house did eat me up;' Jn. 2:17
- the Jews then answered and said to him, `What sign dost thou shew to us -- that thou dost these things?' Jn. 2:18
- The Jews, therefore, said, `Forty and six years was this sanctuary building, and wilt thou in three days raise it up?' Jn. 2:20
- but he spake concerning the sanctuary of his body; Jn. 2:21
- when, then, he was raised out of the dead, his disciples remembered that he said this to them, and they believed the Writing, and the word that Jesus said. Jn. 2:22
- And as he was in Jerusalem, in the passover, in the feast, many believed in his name, beholding his signs that he was doing; Jn. 2:23
- And there was a man of the Pharisees, Nicodemus his name, a ruler of the Jews, Jn. 3:1
- Jesus answered and said to him, `Verily, verily, I say to thee, If any one may not be born from above, he is not able to see the reign of God;' Jn. 3:3
- Nicodemus saith unto him, `How is a man able to be born, being old? is he able into the womb of his mother a second time to enter, and to be born?' Jn. 3:4
- Jesus answered, `Verily, verily, I say to thee, If any one may not be born of water, and the Spirit, he is not able to enter into the reign of God; Jn. 3:5
- that which hath been born of the flesh is flesh, and that which hath been born of the Spirit is spirit. Jn. 3:6
- the Spirit where he willeth doth blow, and his voice thou dost hear, but thou hast not known whence he cometh, and whither he goeth; thus is every one who hath been born of the Spirit.' Jn. 3:8
- Jesus answered and said to him, `Thou art the teacher of Israel -- and these things thou dost not know! Jn. 3:10
- if the earthly things I said to you, and ye do not believe, how, if I shall say to you the heavenly things, will ye believe? Jn. 3:12
- and no one hath gone up to the heaven, except he who out of the heaven came down -- the Son of Man who is in the heaven. Jn. 3:13
- `And as Moses did lift up the serpent in the wilderness, so it behoveth the Son of Man to be lifted up, Jn. 3:14
- for God did so love the world, that His Son -- the only begotten -- He gave, that every one who is believing in him may not perish, but may have life age-during. Jn. 3:16
- For God did not send His Son to the world that he may judge the world, but that the world may be saved through him; Jn. 3:17
- he who is believing in him is not judged, but he who is not believing hath been judged already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. Jn. 3:18
- `And this is the judgment, that the light hath come to the world, and men did love the darkness rather than the light, for their works were evil; Jn. 3:19
- for every one who is doing wicked things hateth the light, and doth not come unto the light, that his works may not be detected; Jn. 3:20
- but he who is doing the truth doth come to the light, that his works may be manifested, that in God they are having been wrought.' Jn. 3:21
- After these things came Jesus and his disciples to the land of Judea, and there he did tarry with them, and was baptizing; Jn. 3:22
- for John was not yet cast into the prison -- Jn. 3:24
- there arose then a question from the disciples of John with some Jews about purifying, Jn. 3:25
- and they came unto John, and said to him, `Rabbi, he who was with thee beyond the Jordan, to whom thou didst testify, lo, this one is baptizing, and all are coming unto him.' Jn. 3:26
- John answered and said, `A man is not able to receive anything, if it may not have been given him from the heaven; Jn. 3:27
- ye yourselves do testify to me that I said, I am not the Christ, but, that I am having been sent before him; Jn. 3:28
- he who is having the bride is bridegroom, and the friend of the bridegroom, who is standing and hearing him, with joy doth rejoice because of the voice of the bridegroom; this, then, my joy hath been fulfilled. Jn. 3:29
- he who from above is coming is above all; he who is from the earth, from the earth he is, and from the earth he speaketh; he who from the heaven is coming is above all. Jn. 3:31
- for he whom God sent, the sayings of God he speaketh; for not by measure doth God give the Spirit; Jn. 3:34
- the Father doth love the Son, and all things hath given into his hand; Jn. 3:35
- he who is believing in the Son, hath life age-during; and he who is not believing the Son, shall not see life, but the wrath of God doth remain upon him.' Jn. 3:36
- When therefore the Lord knew that the Pharisees heard that Jesus more disciples doth make and baptize than John, Jn. 4:1
- He cometh, therefore, to a city of Samaria, called Sychar, near to the place that Jacob gave to Joseph his son; Jn. 4:5
- and there was there a well of Jacob. Jesus therefore having been weary from the journeying, was sitting thus on the well; it was as it were the sixth hour; Jn. 4:6
- for his disciples were gone away to the city, that they may buy victuals; Jn. 4:8
- the Samaritan woman therefore saith to him, `How dost thou, being a Jew, ask drink from me, being a Samaritan woman?' for Jews have no dealing with Samaritans. Jn. 4:9
- Jesus answered and said to her, `If thou hadst known the gift of God, and who it is who is saying to thee, Give me to drink, thou wouldest have asked him, and he would have given thee living water.' Jn. 4:10
- The woman saith to him, `Sir, thou hast not even a vessel to draw with, and the well is deep; whence, then, hast thou the living water? Jn. 4:11
- Art thou greater than our father Jacob, who did give us the well, and himself out of it did drink, and his sons, and his cattle?' Jn. 4:12
- but whoever may drink of the water that I will give him, may not thirst -- to the age; and the water that I will give him shall become in him a well of water, springing up to life age-during.' Jn. 4:14
- The woman saith unto him, `Sir, give me this water, that I may not thirst, nor come hither to draw.' Jn. 4:15
- the woman answered and said, `I have not a husband.' Jesus saith to her, `Well didst thou say -- A husband I have not; Jn. 4:17
- The woman saith to him, `Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet; Jn. 4:19
- our fathers in this mountain did worship, and ye -- ye say that in Jerusalem is the place where it behoveth to worship.' Jn. 4:20
- Jesus saith to her, `Woman, believe me, that there doth come an hour, when neither in this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, shall ye worship the Father; Jn. 4:21
- ye worship what ye have not known; we worship what we have known, because the salvation is of the Jews; Jn. 4:22
- but, there cometh an hour, and it now is, when the true worshippers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father also doth seek such to worship him; Jn. 4:23
- The woman saith to him, `I have known that Messiah doth come, who is called Christ, when that one may come, he will tell us all things;' Jn. 4:25
- The woman then left her water-jug, and went away to the city, and saith to the men, Jn. 4:28
- `Come, see a man, who told me all things -- as many as I did; is this the Christ?' Jn. 4:29
- They went forth therefore out of the city, and were coming unto him. Jn. 4:30
- And in the meanwhile his disciples were asking him, saying, `Rabbi, eat;' Jn. 4:31
- The disciples then said one to another, `Did any one bring him anything to eat?' Jn. 4:33
- Jesus saith to them, `My food is, that I may do the will of Him who sent me, and may finish His work; Jn. 4:34
- do not say that it is yet four months, and the harvest cometh; lo, I say to you, Lift up your eyes, and see the fields, that they are white unto harvest already. Jn. 4:35
- for in this the saying is the true one, that one is the sower and another the reaper. Jn. 4:37
- And from that city many believed in him, of the Samaritans, because of the word of the woman testifying, -- `He told me all things -- as many as I did.' Jn. 4:39
- When, then, the Samaritans came unto him, they were asking him to remain with them, and he remained there two days; Jn. 4:40
- and said to the woman -- `No more because of thy speaking do we believe; for we ourselves have heard and known that this is truly the Saviour of the world -- the Christ.' Jn. 4:42
- And after the two days he went forth thence, and went away to Galilee, Jn. 4:43
- when then, he came to Galilee, the Galileans received him, having seen all things that he did in Jerusalem in the feast -- for they also went to the feast. Jn. 4:45
- Jesus came, therefore, again to Cana of Galilee, where he made the water wine, and there was a certain courtier, whose son was ailing in Capernaum, Jn. 4:46
- The courtier saith unto him, `Sir, come down before my child die;' Jn. 4:49
- Jesus saith to him, `Be going on; thy son doth live.' And the man believed the word that Jesus said to him, and was going on, Jn. 4:50
- he inquired then of them the hour in which he became better, and they said to him -- `Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him;' Jn. 4:52
- then the father knew that it was in that hour in which Jesus said to him -- `Thy son doth live,' and he himself believed, and his whole house; Jn. 4:53
- After these things there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem, Jn. 5:1
- and there is in Jerusalem by the sheep-gate a pool that is called in Hebrew Bethesda, having five porches, Jn. 5:2
- in these were lying a great multitude of the ailing, blind, lame, withered, waiting for the moving of the water, Jn. 5:3
- for a messenger at a set time was going down in the pool, and was troubling the water, the first then having gone in after the troubling of the water, became whole of whatever sickness he was held. Jn. 5:4
- The ailing man answered him, `Sir, I have no man, that, when the water may be troubled, he may put me into the pool, and while I am coming, another doth go down before me.' Jn. 5:7
- and immediately the man became whole, and he took up his couch, and was walking, and it was a sabbath on that day, Jn. 5:9
- the Jews then said to him that hath been healed, `It is a sabbath; it is not lawful to thee to take up the couch.' Jn. 5:10
- they questioned him, then, `Who is the man who is saying to thee, Take up thy couch and be walking?' Jn. 5:12
- But he that was healed had not known who he is, for Jesus did move away, a multitude being in the place. Jn. 5:13
- After these things, Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said to him, `Lo, thou hast become whole; sin no more, lest something worse may happen to thee.' Jn. 5:14
- The man went away, and told the Jews that it is Jesus who made him whole, Jn. 5:15
- and because of this were the Jews persecuting Jesus, and seeking to kill him, because these things he was doing on a sabbath. Jn. 5:16
- because of this, then, were the Jews seeking the more to kill him, because not only was he breaking the sabbath, but he also called God his own Father, making himself equal to God. Jn. 5:18
- Jesus therefore responded and said to them, `Verily, verily, I say to you, The Son is not able to do anything of himself, if he may not see the Father doing anything; for whatever things He may do, these also the Son in like manner doth; Jn. 5:19
- for the Father doth love the Son, and doth shew to him all things that He himself doth; and greater works than these He will shew him, that ye may wonder. Jn. 5:20
- `For, as the Father doth raise the dead, and doth make alive, so also the Son doth make alive whom he willeth; Jn. 5:21
- for neither doth the Father judge any one, but all the judgment He hath given to the Son, Jn. 5:22
- that all may honour the Son according as they honour the Father; he who is not honouring the Son, doth not honour the Father who sent him. Jn. 5:23
- `Verily, verily, I say to you -- He who is hearing my word, and is believing Him who sent me, hath life age-during, and to judgment he doth not come, but hath passed out of the death to the life. Jn. 5:24
- `Verily, verily, I say to you -- There cometh an hour, and it now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God, and those having heard shall live; Jn. 5:25
- for, as the Father hath life in himself, so He gave also to the Son to have life in himself, Jn. 5:26
- `Wonder not at this, because there doth come an hour in which all those in the tombs shall hear his voice, Jn. 5:28
- and they shall come forth; those who did the good things to a rising again of life, and those who practised the evil things to a rising again of judgment. Jn. 5:29
- `I am not able of myself to do anything; according as I hear I judge, and my judgment is righteous, because I seek not my own will, but the will of the Father who sent me. Jn. 5:30
- another there is who is testifying concerning me, and I have known that the testimony that he doth testify concerning me is true; Jn. 5:32
- ye have sent unto John, and he hath testified to the truth. Jn. 5:33
- he was the burning and shining lamp, and ye did will to be glad, for an hour, in his light. Jn. 5:35
- `But I have the testimony greater than John's, for the works that the Father gave me, that I might finish them, the works themselves that I do, they testify concerning me, that the Father hath sent me. Jn. 5:36
- `And the Father who sent me Himself hath testified concerning me; ye have neither heard His voice at any time, nor His appearance have ye seen; Jn. 5:37
- `Ye search the Writings, because ye think in them to have life age-during, and these are they that are testifying concerning me; Jn. 5:39
- but I have known you, that the love of God ye have not in yourselves. Jn. 5:42
- `I have come in the name of my Father, and ye do not receive me; if another may come in his own name, him ye will receive; Jn. 5:43
- how are ye able -- ye -- to believe, glory from one another receiving, and the glory that is from God alone ye seek not? Jn. 5:44
- `Do not think that I will accuse you unto the Father; there is who is accusing you, Moses -- in whom ye have hoped; Jn. 5:45
- After these things Jesus went away beyond the sea of Galilee (of Tiberias), Jn. 6:1
- and there was following him a great multitude, because they were seeing his signs that he was doing on the ailing; Jn. 6:2
- and Jesus went up to the mount, and he was there sitting with his disciples, Jn. 6:3
- and the passover was nigh, the feast of the Jews. Jn. 6:4
- one of his disciples -- Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter -- saith to him, Jn. 6:8
- And Jesus said, `Make the men to sit down;' and there was much grass in the place, the men then sat down, in number, as it were, five thousand, Jn. 6:10
- and Jesus took the loaves, and having given thanks he distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to those reclining, in like manner, also of the little fishes as much as they wished. Jn. 6:11
- And when they were filled, he saith to his disciples, `Gather together the broken pieces that are over, that nothing may be lost;' Jn. 6:12
- they gathered together, therefore, and filled twelve hand-baskets with broken pieces, from the five barley loaves that were over to those having eaten. Jn. 6:13
- The men, then, having seen the sign that Jesus did, said -- `This is truly the Prophet, who is coming to the world;' Jn. 6:14
- Jesus, therefore, having known that they are about to come, and to take him by force that they may make him king, retired again to the mountain himself alone. Jn. 6:15
- And when evening came, his disciples went down to the sea, Jn. 6:16
- and having entered into the boat, they were going over the sea to Capernaum, and darkness had already come, and Jesus had not come unto them, Jn. 6:17
- the sea also -- a great wind blowing -- was being raised, Jn. 6:18
- having pushed onwards, therefore, about twenty-five or thirty furlongs, they behold Jesus walking on the sea, and coming nigh to the boat, and they were afraid; Jn. 6:19
- they were willing then to receive him into the boat, and immediately the boat came unto the land to which they were going. Jn. 6:21
- On the morrow, the multitude that was standing on the other side of the sea, having seen that there was no other little boat there except one -- that into which his disciples entered -- and that Jesus went not in with his disciples into the little boat, but his disciples went away alone, Jn. 6:22
- (and other little boats came from Tiberias, nigh the place where they did eat the bread, the Lord having given thanks), Jn. 6:23
- when therefore the multitude saw that Jesus is not there, nor his disciples, they also themselves did enter into the boats, and came to Capernaum seeking Jesus; Jn. 6:24
- and having found him on the other side of the sea, they said to him, `Rabbi, when hast thou come hither?' Jn. 6:25
- Jesus answered them and said, `Verily, verily, I say to you, Ye seek me, not because ye saw signs, but because ye did eat of the loaves, and were satisfied; Jn. 6:26
- work not for the food that is perishing, but for the food that is remaining to life age-during, which the Son of Man will give to you, for him did the Father seal -- even God.' Jn. 6:27
- They said therefore unto him, `What may we do that we may work the works of God?' Jn. 6:28
- Jesus answered and said to them, `This is the work of God, that ye may believe in him whom He did send.' Jn. 6:29
- our fathers the manna did eat in the wilderness, according as it is having been written, Bread out of the heaven He gave them to eat.' Jn. 6:31
- Jesus, therefore, said to them, `Verily, verily, I say to you, Moses did not give you the bread out of the heaven; but my Father doth give you the true bread out of the heaven; Jn. 6:32
- for the bread of God is that which is coming down out of the heaven, and giving life to the world.' Jn. 6:33
- And Jesus said to them, `I am the bread of the life; he who is coming unto me may not hunger, and he who is believing in me may not thirst -- at any time; Jn. 6:35
- all that the Father doth give to me will come unto me; and him who is coming unto me, I may in no wise cast without, Jn. 6:37
- because I have come down out of the heaven, not that I may do my will, but the will of Him who sent me. Jn. 6:38
- `And this is the will of the Father who sent me, that all that He hath given to me I may not lose of it, but may raise it up in the last day; Jn. 6:39
- and this is the will of Him who sent me, that every one who is beholding the Son, and is believing in him, may have life age-during, and I will raise him up in the last day.' Jn. 6:40
- The Jews, therefore, were murmuring at him, because he said, `I am the bread that came down out of the heaven;' Jn. 6:41
- and they said, `Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we have known? how then saith this one -- Out of the heaven I have come down?' Jn. 6:42
- no one is able to come unto me, if the Father who sent me may not draw him, and I will raise him up in the last day; Jn. 6:44
- it is having been written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God; every one therefore who heard from the Father, and learned, cometh to me; Jn. 6:45
- not that any one hath seen the Father, except he who is from God, he hath seen the Father. Jn. 6:46
- I am the bread of the life; Jn. 6:48
- your fathers did eat the manna in the wilderness, and they died; Jn. 6:49
- this is the bread that out of the heaven is coming down, that any one may eat of it, and not die. Jn. 6:50
- `I am the living bread that came down out of the heaven; if any one may eat of this bread he shall live -- to the age; and the bread also that I will give is my flesh, that I will give for the life of the world.' Jn. 6:51
- The Jews, therefore, were striving with one another, saying, `How is this one able to give us his flesh to eat?' Jn. 6:52
- Jesus, therefore, said to them, `Verily, verily, I say to you, If ye may not eat the flesh of the Son of Man, and may not drink his blood, ye have no life in yourselves; Jn. 6:53
- he who is eating my flesh, and is drinking my blood, hath life age-during, and I will raise him up in the last day; Jn. 6:54
- `According as the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, he also who is eating me, even that one shall live because of me; Jn. 6:57
- this is the bread that came down out of the heaven; not as your fathers did eat the manna, and died; he who is eating this bread shall live -- to the age.' Jn. 6:58
- if then ye may behold the Son of Man going up where he was before? Jn. 6:62
- the spirit it is that is giving life; the flesh doth not profit anything; the sayings that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life; Jn. 6:63
- but there are certain of you who do not believe;' for Jesus had known from the beginning who they are who are not believing, and who is he who will deliver him up, Jn. 6:64
- Jesus, therefore, said to the twelve, `Do ye also wish to go away?' Jn. 6:67
- and we have believed, and we have known, that thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.' Jn. 6:69
- Jesus answered them, `Did not I choose you -- the twelve? and of you -- one is a devil. Jn. 6:70
- And he spake of Judas, Simon's son, Iscariot, for he was about to deliver him up, being one of the twelve. Jn. 6:71
- And Jesus was walking after these things in Galilee, for he did not wish to walk in Judea, because the Jews were seeking to kill him, Jn. 7:1
- and the feast of the Jews was nigh -- that of tabernacles -- Jn. 7:2
- for no one in secret doth anything, and himself seeketh to be in public; if thou dost these things -- manifest thyself to the world;' Jn. 7:4
- the world is not able to hate you, but me it doth hate, because I testify concerning it that its works are evil. Jn. 7:7
- And when his brethren went up, then also he himself went up to the feast, not manifestly, but as in secret; Jn. 7:10
- the Jews, therefore, were seeking him, in the feast, and said, `Where is that one?' Jn. 7:11
- and there was much murmuring about him among the multitudes, some indeed said -- `He is good;' and others said, `No, but he leadeth astray the multitude;' Jn. 7:12
- no one, however, was speaking freely about him, through fear of the Jews. Jn. 7:13
- And it being now the middle of the feast, Jesus went up to the temple, and he was teaching, Jn. 7:14
- and the Jews were wondering, saying, `How hath this one known letters -- not having learned?' Jn. 7:15
- if any one may will to do His will, he shall know concerning the teaching, whether it is of God, or -- I do speak from myself. Jn. 7:17
- `He who is speaking from himself his own glory doth seek, but he who is seeking the glory of him who sent him, this one is true, and unrighteousness is not in him; Jn. 7:18
- hath not Moses given you the law? and none of you doth the law; why me do ye seek to kill?' Jn. 7:19
- The multitude answered and said, `Thou hast a demon, who doth seek to kill thee?' Jn. 7:20
- because of this, Moses hath given you the circumcision -- not that it is of Moses, but of the fathers -- and on a sabbath ye circumcise a man; Jn. 7:22
- if a man doth receive circumcision on a sabbath that the law of Moses may not be broken, are ye wroth with me that I made a man all whole on a sabbath? Jn. 7:23
- judge not according to appearance, but the righteous judgment judge.' Jn. 7:24
- Certain, therefore, of the Jerusalemites said, `Is not this he whom they are seeking to kill? Jn. 7:25
- and, lo, he doth speak freely, and they say nothing to him; did the rulers at all know truly that this is truly the Christ? Jn. 7:26
- but this one -- we have known whence he is; and the Christ, when he doth come, no one doth know whence he is.' Jn. 7:27
- Jesus cried, therefore, in the temple, teaching and saying, `Ye have both known me, and ye have known whence I am; and I have not come of myself, but He who sent me is true, whom ye have not known; Jn. 7:28
- They were seeking, therefore, to seize him, and no one laid the hand on him, because his hour had not yet come, Jn. 7:30
- and many out of the multitude did believe in him, and said -- `The Christ -- when he may come -- will he do more signs than these that this one did?' Jn. 7:31
- The Pharisees heard the multitude murmuring these things concerning him, and the Pharisees and the chief priests sent officers that they may take him; Jn. 7:32
- The Jews, therefore, said among themselves, `Whither is this one about to go that we shall not find him? -- to the dispersion of the Greeks is he about to go? and to teach the Greeks; Jn. 7:35
- And in the last, the great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, `If any one doth thirst, let him come unto me and drink; Jn. 7:37
- he who is believing in me, according as the Writing said, Rivers out of his belly shall flow of living water;' Jn. 7:38
- and this he said of the Spirit, which those believing in him were about to receive; for not yet was the Holy Spirit, because Jesus was not yet glorified. Jn. 7:39
- Many, therefore out of the multitude, having heard the word, said, `This is truly the Prophet;' Jn. 7:40
- others said, `This is the Christ;' and others said, `Why, out of Galilee doth the Christ come? Jn. 7:41
- Did not the Writing say, that out of the seed of David, and from Bethlehem -- the village where David was -- the Christ doth come?' Jn. 7:42
- A division, therefore, arose among the multitude because of him. Jn. 7:43
- the officers came, therefore, unto the chief priests and Pharisees, and they said to them, `Wherefore did ye not bring him?' Jn. 7:45
- The officers answered, `Never so spake man -- as this man.' Jn. 7:46
- The Pharisees, therefore, answered them, `Have ye also been led astray? Jn. 7:47
- did any one out of the rulers believe in him? or out of the Pharisees? Jn. 7:48
- but this multitude, that is not knowing the law, is accursed.' Jn. 7:49
- `Doth our law judge the man, if it may not hear from him first, and know what he doth?' Jn. 7:51
- but Jesus went on to the mount of the Olives. Jn. 8:1
- And at dawn he came again to the temple, and all the people were coming unto him, and having sat down, he was teaching them; Jn. 8:2
- and the scribes and the Pharisees bring unto him a woman having been taken in adultery, and having set her in the midst, Jn. 8:3
- they say to him, `Teacher, this woman was taken in the very crime -- committing adultery, Jn. 8:4
- and in the law, Moses did command us that such be stoned; thou, therefore, what dost thou say?' Jn. 8:5
- and this they said, trying him, that they might have to accuse him. And Jesus, having stooped down, with the finger he was writing on the ground, Jn. 8:6
- and when they continued asking him, having bent himself back, he said unto them, `The sinless of you -- let him first cast the stone at her;' Jn. 8:7
- and again having stooped down, he was writing on the ground, Jn. 8:8
- and they having heard, and by the conscience being convicted, were going forth one by one, having begun from the elders -- unto the last; and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst. Jn. 8:9
- And Jesus having bent himself back, and having seen no one but the woman, said to her, `Woman, where are those -- thine accusers? did no one pass sentence upon thee?' Jn. 8:10
- Again, therefore, Jesus spake to them, saying, `I am the light of the world; he who is following me shall not walk in the darkness, but he shall have the light of the life.' Jn. 8:12
- The Pharisees, therefore, said to him, `Thou of thyself dost testify, thy testimony is not true;' Jn. 8:13
- `Ye according to the flesh do judge; I do not judge any one, Jn. 8:15
- and even if I do judge my judgment is true, because I am not alone, but I and the Father who sent me; Jn. 8:16
- and also in your law it hath been written, that the testimony of two men are true; Jn. 8:17
- I am one who is testifying of myself, and the Father who sent me doth testify of me.' Jn. 8:18
- These sayings spake Jesus in the treasury, teaching in the temple, and no one seized him, because his hour had not yet come; Jn. 8:20
- The Jews, therefore, said, `Will he kill himself, because he saith, Whither I go away, ye are not able to come?' Jn. 8:22
- They said, therefore, to him, `Thou -- who art thou?' and Jesus said to them, `Even what I did speak of to you at the beginning; Jn. 8:25
- many things I have to speak concerning you and to judge, but He who sent me is true, and I -- what things I heard from Him -- these I say to the world.' Jn. 8:26
- They knew not that of the Father he spake to them; Jn. 8:27
- Jesus, therefore, said to them, `When ye may lift up the Son of Man then ye will know that I am he; and of myself I do nothing, but according as my Father did teach me, these things I speak; Jn. 8:28
- and He who sent me is with me; the Father did not leave me alone, because I, the things pleasing to Him, do always.' Jn. 8:29
- Jesus, therefore, said unto the Jews who believed in him, `If ye may remain in my word, truly my disciples ye are, Jn. 8:31
- and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.' Jn. 8:32
- Jesus answered them, `Verily, verily, I say to you -- Every one who is committing sin, is a servant of the sin, Jn. 8:34
- and the servant doth not remain in the house -- to the age, the son doth remain -- to the age; Jn. 8:35
- if then the son may make you free, in reality ye shall be free. Jn. 8:36
- They answered and said to him, `Our father is Abraham;' Jesus saith to them, `If children of Abraham ye were, the works of Abraham ye were doing; Jn. 8:39
- and now, ye seek to kill me -- a man who hath spoken to you the truth I heard from God; this Abraham did not; Jn. 8:40
- ye do the works of your father.' They said, therefore, to him, `We of whoredom have not been born; one Father we have -- God;' Jn. 8:41
- `Ye are of a father -- the devil, and the desires of your father ye will to do; he was a man-slayer from the beginning, and in the truth he hath not stood, because there is no truth in him; when one may speak the falsehood, of his own he speaketh, because he is a liar -- also his father. Jn. 8:44
- `And because I say the truth, ye do not believe me. Jn. 8:45
- he who is of God, the sayings of God he doth hear; because of this ye do not hear, because of God ye are not.' Jn. 8:47
- The Jews, therefore, answered and said to him, `Do we not say well, that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a demon?' Jn. 8:48
- verily, verily, I say to you, If any one may keep my word, death he may not see -- to the age.' Jn. 8:51
- The Jews, therefore, said to him, `Now we have known that thou hast a demon; Abraham did die, and the prophets, and thou dost say, If any one may keep my word, he shall not taste of death -- to the age! Jn. 8:52
- Art thou greater than our father Abraham, who died? and the prophets died; whom dost thou make thyself?' Jn. 8:53
- The Jews, therefore, said unto him, `Thou art not yet fifty years old, and Abraham hast thou seen?' Jn. 8:57
- they took up, therefore, stones that they may cast at him, but Jesus hid himself, and went forth out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by. Jn. 8:59
- Jesus answered, `Neither did this one sin nor his parents, but that the works of God may be manifested in him; Jn. 9:3
- it behoveth me to be working the works of Him who sent me while it is day; night doth come, when no one is able to work: -- Jn. 9:4
- when I am in the world, I am a light of the world.' Jn. 9:5
- These things saying, he spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and rubbed the clay on the eyes of the blind man, and said to him, Jn. 9:6
- `Go away, wash at the pool of Siloam,' which is, interpreted, Sent. He went away, therefore, and did wash, and came seeing; Jn. 9:7
- the neighbours, therefore, and those seeing him before, that he was blind, said, `Is not this he who is sitting and begging?' Jn. 9:8
- he answered and said, `A man called Jesus made clay, and rubbed my eyes, and said to me, Go away to the pool of Siloam, and wash; and having gone away and having washed, I received sight;' Jn. 9:11
- They bring him to the Pharisees who once was blind, Jn. 9:13
- and it was a sabbath when Jesus made the clay, and opened his eyes. Jn. 9:14
- Again, therefore, the Pharisees also were asking him how he received sight, and he said to them, `Clay he did put upon my eyes, and I did wash -- and I see.' Jn. 9:15
- Of the Pharisees, therefore, certain said, `This man is not from God, because the sabbath he doth not keep;' others said, `How is a man -- a sinful one -- able to do such signs?' and there was a division among them. Jn. 9:16
- They said to the blind man again, `Thou -- what dost thou say of him -- that he opened thine eyes?' and he said -- `He is a prophet.' Jn. 9:17
- The Jews, therefore, did not believe concerning him that he was blind and did receive sight, till that they called the parents of him who received sight, Jn. 9:18
- These things said his parents, because they were afraid of the Jews, for already had the Jews agreed together, that if any one may confess him -- Christ, he may be put out of the synagogue; Jn. 9:22
- They called, therefore, a second time the man who was blind, and they said to him, `Give glory to God, we have known that this man is a sinner;' Jn. 9:24
- The man answered and said to them, `Why, in this is a wonderful thing, that ye have not known whence he is, and he opened my eyes! Jn. 9:30
- from the age it was not heard, that any one did open eyes of one who hath been born blind; Jn. 9:32
- Jesus heard that they cast him forth without, and having found him, he said to him, `Dost thou believe in the Son of God?' Jn. 9:35
- And those of the Pharisees who were with him heard these things, and they said to him, `Are we also blind?' Jn. 9:40
- `Verily, verily, I say to you, He who is not entering through the door to the fold of the sheep, but is going up from another side, that one is a thief and a robber; Jn. 10:1
- and he who is entering through the door is shepherd of the sheep; Jn. 10:2
- to this one the doorkeeper doth open, and the sheep hear his voice, and his own sheep he doth call by name, and doth lead them forth; Jn. 10:3
- and when his own sheep he may put forth, before them he goeth on, and the sheep follow him, because they have known his voice; Jn. 10:4
- and a stranger they will not follow, but will flee from him, because they have not known the voice of strangers.' Jn. 10:5
- This similitude spake Jesus to them, and they knew not what the things were that he was speaking to them; Jn. 10:6
- Jesus said therefore again to them, `Verily, verily, I say to you -- I am the door of the sheep; Jn. 10:7
- all, as many as came before me, are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not hear them; Jn. 10:8
- I am the door, through me if any one may come in, he shall be saved, and he shall come in, and go out, and find pasture. Jn. 10:9
- `The thief doth not come, except that he may steal, and kill, and destroy; I came that they may have life, and may have it abundantly. Jn. 10:10
- `I am the good shepherd; the good shepherd his life layeth down for the sheep; Jn. 10:11
- and the hireling, and not being a shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, doth behold the wolf coming, and doth leave the sheep, and doth flee; and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep; Jn. 10:12
- and the hireling doth flee because he is an hireling, and is not caring for the sheep. Jn. 10:13
- `I am the good shepherd, and I know my sheep, and am known by mine, Jn. 10:14
- according as the Father doth know me, and I know the Father, and my life I lay down for the sheep, Jn. 10:15
- `Because of this doth the Father love me, because I lay down my life, that again I may take it; Jn. 10:17
- Therefore, again, there came a division among the Jews, because of these words, Jn. 10:19
- And the dedication in Jerusalem came, and it was winter, Jn. 10:22
- and Jesus was walking in the temple, in the porch of Solomon, Jn. 10:23
- the Jews, therefore, came round about him, and said to him, `Till when our soul dost thou hold in suspense? if thou art the Christ, tell us freely.' Jn. 10:24
- Jesus answered them, `I told you, and ye do not believe; the works that I do in the name of my Father, these testify concerning me; Jn. 10:25
- and life age-during I give to them, and they shall not perish -- to the age, and no one shall pluck them out of my hand; Jn. 10:28
- my Father, who hath given to me, is greater than all, and no one is able to pluck out of the hand of my Father; Jn. 10:29
- I and the Father are one.' Jn. 10:30
- Therefore, again, did the Jews take up stones that they may stone him; Jn. 10:31
- The Jews answered him, saying, `For a good work we do not stone thee, but for evil speaking, and because thou, being a man, dost make thyself God.' Jn. 10:33
- if them he did call gods unto whom the word of God came, (and the Writing is not able to be broken,) Jn. 10:35
- of him whom the Father did sanctify, and send to the world, do ye say -- Thou speakest evil, because I said, Son of God I am? Jn. 10:36
- if I do not the works of my Father, do not believe me; Jn. 10:37
- and if I do, even if me ye may not believe, the works believe, that ye may know and may believe that in me is the Father, and I in Him.' Jn. 10:38
- and went away again to the other side of the Jordan, to the place where John was at first baptizing, and remained there, Jn. 10:40
- And there was a certain one ailing, Lazarus, from Bethany, of the village of Mary and Martha her sister -- Jn. 11:1
- and it was Mary who did anoint the Lord with ointment, and did wipe his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was ailing -- Jn. 11:2
- therefore sent the sisters unto him, saying, `Sir, lo, he whom thou dost love is ailing;' Jn. 11:3
- and Jesus having heard, said, `This ailment is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God may be glorified through it.' Jn. 11:4
- when, therefore, he heard that he is ailing, then indeed he remained in the place in which he was two days, Jn. 11:6
- then after this, he saith to the disciples, `We may go to Judea again;' Jn. 11:7
- the disciples say to him, `Rabbi, now were the Jews seeking to stone thee, and again thou dost go thither!' Jn. 11:8
- Jesus answered, `Are there not twelve hours in the day? if any one may walk in the day, he doth not stumble, because the light of this world he doth see; Jn. 11:9
- and if any one may walk in the night, he stumbleth, because the light is not in him.' Jn. 11:10
- but Jesus had spoken about his death, but they thought that about the repose of sleep he speaketh. Jn. 11:13
- therefore said Thomas, who is called Didymus, to the fellow-disciples, `We may go -- we also, that we may die with him,' Jn. 11:16
- Jesus, therefore, having come, found him having been four days already in the tomb. Jn. 11:17
- and many of the Jews had come unto Martha and Mary, that they might comfort them concerning their brother; Jn. 11:19
- Martha, therefore, when she heard that Jesus doth come, met him, and Mary kept sitting in the house. Jn. 11:20
- Martha saith to him, `I have known that he will rise again, in the rising again in the last day;' Jn. 11:24
- Jesus said to her, `I am the rising again, and the life; he who is believing in me, even if he may die, shall live; Jn. 11:25
- and every one who is living and believing in me shall not die -- to the age; believest thou this?' Jn. 11:26
- she saith to him, `Yes, sir, I have believed that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, who is coming to the world.' Jn. 11:27
- And these things having said, she went away, and called Mary her sister privately, saying, `The Teacher is present, and doth call thee;' Jn. 11:28
- and Jesus had not yet come to the village, but was in the place where Martha met him; Jn. 11:30
- the Jews, therefore, who were with her in the house, and were comforting her, having seen Mary that she rose up quickly and went forth, followed her, saying -- `She doth go away to the tomb, that she may weep there.' Jn. 11:31
- Jesus, therefore, when he saw her weeping, and the Jews who came with her weeping, did groan in the spirit, and troubled himself, Jn. 11:33
- The Jews, therefore, said, `Lo, how he was loving him!' Jn. 11:36
- and certain of them said, `Was not this one, who did open the eyes of the blind man, able to cause that also this one might not have died?' Jn. 11:37
- Jesus, therefore, again groaning in himself, cometh to the tomb, and it was a cave, and a stone was lying upon it, Jn. 11:38
- Jesus saith, `Take ye away the stone;' the sister of him who hath died -- Martha -- saith to him, `Sir, already he stinketh, for he is four days dead;' Jn. 11:39
- Jesus saith to her, `Said I not to thee, that if thou mayest believe, thou shalt see the glory of God?' Jn. 11:40
- They took away, therefore, the stone where the dead was laid, and Jesus lifted his eyes upwards, and said, `Father, I thank Thee, that Thou didst hear me; Jn. 11:41
- and I knew that Thou always dost hear me, but, because of the multitude that is standing by, I said it, that they may believe that Thou didst send me.' Jn. 11:42
- Many, therefore, of the Jews who came unto Mary, and beheld what Jesus did, believed in him; Jn. 11:45
- but certain of them went away unto the Pharisees, and told them what Jesus did; Jn. 11:46
- the chief priests, therefore, and the Pharisees, gathered together a sanhedrim, and said, `What may we do? because this man doth many signs? Jn. 11:47
- if we may let him alone thus, all will believe in him; and the Romans will come, and will take away both our place and nation.' Jn. 11:48
- nor reason that it is good for us that one man may die for the people, and not the whole nation perish.' Jn. 11:50
- And this he said not of himself, but being chief priest of that year, he did prophesy that Jesus was about to die for the nation, Jn. 11:51
- and not for the nation only, but that also the children of God, who have been scattered abroad, he may gather together into one. Jn. 11:52
- Jesus, therefore, was no more freely walking among the Jews, but went away thence to the region nigh the wilderness, to a city called Ephraim, and there he tarried with his disciples. Jn. 11:54
- And the passover of the Jews was nigh, and many went up to Jerusalem out of the country before the passover, that they might purify themselves; Jn. 11:55
- they were seeking, therefore, Jesus, and said one with another, standing in the temple, `What doth appear to you -- that he may not come to the feast?' Jn. 11:56
- and both the chief priests and the Pharisees had given a command, that if any one may know where he is, he may shew it, so that they may seize him. Jn. 11:57
- Jesus, therefore, six days before the passover, came to Bethany, where was Lazarus, who had died, whom he raised out of the dead; Jn. 12:1
- Mary, therefore, having taken a pound of ointment of spikenard, of great price, anointed the feet of Jesus and did wipe with her hair his feet, and the house was filled from the fragrance of the ointment. Jn. 12:3
- `Wherefore was not this ointment sold for three hundred denaries, and given to the poor?' Jn. 12:5
- and he said this, not because he was caring for the poor, but because he was a thief, and had the bag, and what things were put in he was carrying. Jn. 12:6
- Jesus, therefore, said, `Suffer her; for the day of my embalming she hath kept it, Jn. 12:7
- for the poor ye have always with yourselves, and me ye have not always.' Jn. 12:8
- A great multitude, therefore, of the Jews knew that he is there, and they came, not because of Jesus only, but that Lazarus also they may see, whom he raised out of the dead; Jn. 12:9
- and the chief priests took counsel, that also Lazarus they may kill, Jn. 12:10
- because on account of him many of the Jews were going away, and were believing in Jesus. Jn. 12:11
- On the morrow, a great multitude that came to the feast, having heard that Jesus doth come to Jerusalem, Jn. 12:12
- took the branches of the palms, and went forth to meet him, and were crying, `Hosanna, blessed is he who is coming in the name of the Lord -- the king of Israel;' Jn. 12:13
- And these things his disciples did not know at the first, but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were having been written about him, and these things they did to him. Jn. 12:16
- The multitude, therefore, who are with him, were testifying that he called Lazarus out of the tomb, and did raise him out of the dead; Jn. 12:17
- because of this also did the multitude meet him, because they heard of his having done this sign, Jn. 12:18
- the Pharisees, therefore, said among themselves, `Ye see that ye do not gain anything, lo, the world did go after him.' Jn. 12:19
- And there were certain Greeks out of those coming up that they may worship in the feast, Jn. 12:20
- And Jesus responded to them, saying, `The hour hath come that the Son of Man may be glorified; Jn. 12:23
- verily, verily, I say to you, if the grain of the wheat, having fallen to the earth, may not die, itself remaineth alone; and if it may die, it doth bear much fruit; Jn. 12:24
- if any one may minister to me, let him follow me, and where I am, there also my ministrant shall be; and if any one may minister to me -- honour him will the Father. Jn. 12:26
- Father, glorify Thy name.' There came, therefore, a voice out of the heaven, `I both glorified, and again I will glorify it;' Jn. 12:28
- the multitude, therefore, having stood and heard, were saying that there hath been thunder; others said, `A messenger hath spoken to him.' Jn. 12:29
- now is a judgment of this world, now shall the ruler of this world be cast forth; Jn. 12:31
- and I, if I may be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto myself.' Jn. 12:32
- the multitude answered him, `We heard out of the law that the Christ doth remain -- to the age; and how dost thou say, That it behoveth the Son of Man to be lifted up? who is this -- the Son of Man?' Jn. 12:34
- Jesus, therefore, said to them, `Yet a little time is the light with you; walk while ye have the light, that darkness may not overtake you; and he who is walking in the darkness hath not known where he goeth; Jn. 12:35
- while ye have the light, believe in the light, that sons of light ye may become.' These things spake Jesus, and having gone away, he was hid from them, Jn. 12:36
- that the word of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he said, `Lord, who gave credence to our report? and the arm of the Lord -- to whom was it revealed?' Jn. 12:38
- `He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart, that they might not see with the eyes, and understand with the heart, and turn back, and I might heal them;' Jn. 12:40
- Still, however, also out of the rulers did many believe in him, but because of the Pharisees they were not confessing, that they might not be put out of the synagogue, Jn. 12:42
- for they loved the glory of men more than the glory of God. Jn. 12:43
- I a light to the world have come, that every one who is believing in me -- in the darkness may not remain; Jn. 12:46
- and if any one may hear my sayings, and not believe, I -- I do not judge him, for I came not that I might judge the world, but that I might save the world. Jn. 12:47
- `He who is rejecting me, and not receiving my sayings, hath one who is judging him, the word that I spake, that will judge him in the last day, Jn. 12:48
- because I spake not from myself, but the Father who sent me, He did give me a command, what I may say, and what I may speak, Jn. 12:49
- and I have known that His command is life age-during; what, therefore, I speak, according as the Father hath said to me, so I speak.' Jn. 12:50
- And before the feast of the passover, Jesus knowing that his hour hath come, that he may remove out of this world unto the Father, having loved his own who are in the world -- to the end he loved them. Jn. 13:1
- And supper being come, the devil already having put it into the heart of Judas of Simon, Iscariot, that he may deliver him up, Jn. 13:2
- Jesus knowing that all things the Father hath given to him -- into his hands, and that from God he came forth, and unto God he goeth, Jn. 13:3
- doth rise from the supper, and doth lay down his garments, and having taken a towel, he girded himself; Jn. 13:4
- afterward he putteth water into the basin, and began to wash the feet of his disciples, and to wipe with the towel with which he was being girded. Jn. 13:5
- Peter saith to him, `Thou mayest not wash my feet -- to the age.' Jesus answered him, `If I may not wash thee, thou hast no part with me;' Jn. 13:8
- Simon Peter saith to him, `Sir, not my feet only, but also the hands and the head.' Jn. 13:9
- ye call me, The Teacher and The Lord, and ye say well, for I am; Jn. 13:13
- if then I did wash your feet -- the Lord and the Teacher -- ye also ought to wash one another's feet. Jn. 13:14
- not concerning you all do I speak; I have known whom I chose for myself; but that the Writing may be fulfilled: He who is eating the bread with me, did lift up against me his heel. Jn. 13:18
- These things having said, Jesus was troubled in the spirit, and did testify, and said, `Verily, verily, I say to you, that one of you will deliver me up;' Jn. 13:21
- the disciples were looking, therefore, one at another, doubting concerning whom he speaketh. Jn. 13:22
- And there was one of his disciples reclining (at meat) in the bosom of Jesus, whom Jesus was loving; Jn. 13:23
- and that one having leant back on the breast of Jesus, respondeth to him, `Sir, who is it?' Jn. 13:25
- Jesus answereth, `That one it is to whom I, having dipped the morsel, shall give it;' and having dipped the morsel, he giveth it to Judas of Simon, Iscariot. Jn. 13:26
- And after the morsel, then the Adversary entered into that one, Jesus, therefore, saith to him, `What thou dost -- do quickly;' Jn. 13:27
- for certain were thinking, since Judas had the bag, that Jesus saith to him, `Buy what we have need of for the feast;' or that he may give something to the poor; Jn. 13:29
- having received, therefore, the morsel, that one immediately went forth, and it was night. Jn. 13:30
- When, therefore, he went forth, Jesus saith, `Now was the Son of Man glorified, and God was glorified in him; Jn. 13:31
- `Little children, yet a little am I with you; ye will seek me, and, according as I said to the Jews -- Whither I go away, ye are not able to come, to you also I do say it now. Jn. 13:33
- in the house of my Father are many mansions; and if not, I would have told you; I go on to prepare a place for you; Jn. 14:2
- and whither I go away ye have known, and the way ye have known.' Jn. 14:4
- Thomas saith to him, `Sir, we have not known whither thou goest away, and how are we able to know the way?' Jn. 14:5
- Jesus saith to him, `I am the way, and the truth, and the life, no one doth come unto the Father, if not through me; Jn. 14:6
- Philip saith to him, `Sir, shew to us the Father, and it is enough for us;' Jn. 14:8
- Jesus saith to him, `So long time am I with you, and thou hast not known me, Philip? he who hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how dost thou say, Shew to us the Father? Jn. 14:9
- Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father is in me? the sayings that I speak to you, from myself I speak not, and the Father who is abiding in me, Himself doth the works; Jn. 14:10
- believe me, that I am in the Father, and the Father in me; and if not, because of the works themselves, believe me. Jn. 14:11
- `Verily, verily, I say to you, he who is believing in me, the works that I do -- that one also shall do, and greater than these he shall do, because I go on to my Father; Jn. 14:12
- and whatever ye may ask in my name, I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son; Jn. 14:13
- and I will ask the Father, and another Comforter He will give to you, that he may remain with you -- to the age; Jn. 14:16
- the Spirit of truth, whom the world is not able to receive, because it doth not behold him, nor know him, and ye know him, because he doth remain with you, and shall be in you. Jn. 14:17
- yet a little, and the world doth no more behold me, and ye behold me, because I live, and ye shall live; Jn. 14:19
- Judas saith to him, (not the Iscariot), `Sir, what hath come to pass, that to us thou are about to manifest thyself, and not to the world?' Jn. 14:22
- he who is not loving me, my words doth not keep; and the word that ye hear is not mine, but the Father's who sent me. Jn. 14:24
- and the Comforter, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things, and remind you of all things that I said to you. Jn. 14:26
- `Peace I leave to you; my peace I give to you, not according as the world doth give do I give to you; let not your heart be troubled, nor let it be afraid; Jn. 14:27
- ye heard that I said to you -- I go away, and I come unto you; if ye did love me, ye would have rejoiced that I said -- I go on to the Father, because my Father is greater than I. Jn. 14:28
- I will no more talk much with you, for the ruler of this world doth come, and in me he hath nothing; Jn. 14:30
- but that the world may know that I love the Father, and according as the Father gave me command so I do; arise, we may go hence. Jn. 14:31
- `I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman; Jn. 15:1
- already ye are clean, because of the word that I have spoken to you; Jn. 15:3
- remain in me, and I in you, as the branch is not able to bear fruit of itself, if it may not remain in the vine, so neither ye, if ye may not remain in me. Jn. 15:4
- `I am the vine, ye the branches; he who is remaining in me, and I in him, this one doth bear much fruit, because apart from me ye are not able to do anything; Jn. 15:5
- if any one may not remain in me, he was cast forth without as the branch, and was withered, and they gather them, and cast to fire, and they are burned; Jn. 15:6
- According as the Father did love me, I also loved you, remain in my love; Jn. 15:9
- if my commandments ye may keep, ye shall remain in my love, according as I the commands of my Father have kept, and do remain in His love; Jn. 15:10
- no more do I call you servants, because the servant hath not known what his lord doth, and you I have called friends, because all things that I heard from my Father, I did make known to you. Jn. 15:15
- `Ye did not choose out me, but I chose out you, and did appoint you, that ye might go away, and might bear fruit, and your fruit might remain, that whatever ye may ask of the Father in my name, He may give you. Jn. 15:16
- if the world doth hate you, ye know that it hath hated me before you; Jn. 15:18
- if of the world ye were, the world its own would have been loving, and because of the world ye are not -- but I chose out of the world -- because of this the world hateth you. Jn. 15:19
- `Remember the word that I said to you, A servant is not greater than his lord; if me they did persecute, you also they will persecute; if my word they did keep, yours also they will keep; Jn. 15:20
- if I did not do among them the works that no other hath done, they were not having sin, and now they have both seen and hated both me and my Father; Jn. 15:24
- but -- that the word may be fulfilled that was written in their law -- They hated me without a cause. Jn. 15:25
- `And when the Comforter may come, whom I will send to you from the Father -- the Spirit of truth, who from the Father doth come forth, he will testify of me; Jn. 15:26
- and ye also do testify, because from the beginning ye are with me. Jn. 15:27
- out of the synagogues they will put you; but an hour doth come, that every one who hath killed you, may think to offer service unto God; Jn. 16:2
- and these things they will do to you, because they did not know the Father, nor me. Jn. 16:3
- `But these things I have spoken to you, that when the hour may come, ye may remember them, that I said them to you, and these things to you from the beginning I did not say, because I was with you; Jn. 16:4
- but because these things I have said to you, the sorrow hath filled your heart. Jn. 16:6
- `But I tell you the truth; it is better for you that I go away, for if I may not go away, the Comforter will not come unto you, and if I go on, I will send Him unto you; Jn. 16:7
- and having come, He will convict the world concerning sin, and concerning righteousness, and concerning judgment; Jn. 16:8
- and concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world hath been judged. Jn. 16:11
- and when He may come -- the Spirit of truth -- He will guide you to all the truth, for He will not speak from Himself, but as many things as He will hear He will speak, and the coming things He will tell you; Jn. 16:13
- `All things, as many as the Father hath, are mine; because of this I said, That of mine He will take, and will tell to you; Jn. 16:15
- a little while, and ye do not behold me, and again a little while, and ye shall see me, because I go away unto the Father.' Jn. 16:16
- Therefore said some of his disciples one to another, `What is this that he saith to us, A little while, and ye do not behold me, and again a little while, and ye shall see me, and, Because I go away unto the Father?' Jn. 16:17
- they said then, `What is this he saith -- the little while? we have not known what he saith.' Jn. 16:18
- verily, verily, I say to you, that ye shall weep and lament, and the world will rejoice; and ye shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow joy will become. Jn. 16:20
- `The woman, when she may bear, hath sorrow, because her hour did come, and when she may bear the child, no more doth she remember the anguish, because of the joy that a man was born to the world. Jn. 16:21
- and in that day ye will question me nothing; verily, verily, I say to you, as many things as ye may ask of the Father in my name, He will give you; Jn. 16:23
- `These things in similitudes I have spoken to you, but there cometh an hour when no more in similitudes will I speak to you, but freely of the Father, will tell you. Jn. 16:25
- `In that day, in my name ye will make request, and I do not say to you that I will ask the Father for you, Jn. 16:26
- for the Father himself doth love you, because me ye have loved, and ye have believed that I from God came forth; Jn. 16:27
- I came forth from the Father, and have come to the world; again I leave the world, and go on unto the Father.' Jn. 16:28
- and now it hath come, that ye may be scattered, each to his own things, and me ye may leave alone, and I am not alone, because the Father is with me; Jn. 16:32
- these things I have spoken to you, that in me ye may have peace, in the world ye shall have tribulation, but take courage -- I have overcome the world.' Jn. 16:33
- These things spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to the heaven, and said -- `Father, the hour hath come, glorify Thy Son, that Thy Son also may glorify Thee, Jn. 17:1
- and this is the life age-during, that they may know Thee, the only true God, and him whom Thou didst send -- Jesus Christ; Jn. 17:3
- I did glorify Thee on the earth, the work I did finish that Thou hast given me, that I may do it. Jn. 17:4
- `And now, glorify me, Thou Father, with Thyself, with the glory that I had before the world was, with Thee; Jn. 17:5
- I did manifest Thy name to the men whom Thou hast given to me out of the world; Thine they were, and to me Thou hast given them, and Thy word they have kept; Jn. 17:6
- because the sayings that Thou hast given to me, I have given to them, and they themselves received, and have known truly, that from Thee I came forth, and they did believe that Thou didst send me. Jn. 17:8
- `I ask in regard to them; not in regard to the world do I ask, but in regard to those whom Thou hast given to me, because Thine they are, Jn. 17:9
- and no more am I in the world, and these are in the world, and I come unto Thee. Holy Father, keep them in Thy name, whom Thou hast given to me, that they may be one as we; Jn. 17:11
- when I was with them in the world, I was keeping them in Thy name; those whom Thou hast given to me I did guard, and none of them was destroyed, except the son of the destruction, that the Writing may be fulfilled. Jn. 17:12
- `And now unto Thee I come, and these things I speak in the world, that they may have my joy fulfilled in themselves; Jn. 17:13
- I have given to them Thy word, and the world did hate them, because they are not of the world, as I am not of the world; Jn. 17:14
- I do not ask that Thou mayest take them out of the world, but that Thou mayest keep them out of the evil. Jn. 17:15
- `Of the world they are not, as I of the world am not; Jn. 17:16
- as Thou didst send me to the world, I also did send them to the world; Jn. 17:18
- that they all may be one, as Thou Father art in me, and I in Thee; that they also in us may be one, that the world may believe that Thou didst send me. Jn. 17:21
- `And I, the glory that thou hast given to me, have given to them, that they may be one as we are one; Jn. 17:22
- I in them, and Thou in me, that they may be perfected into one, and that the world may know that Thou didst send me, and didst love them as Thou didst love me. Jn. 17:23
- `Father, those whom Thou hast given to me, I will that where I am they also may be with me, that they may behold my glory that Thou didst give to me, because Thou didst love me before the foundation of the world. Jn. 17:24
- `Righteous Father, also the world did not know Thee, and I knew Thee, and these have known that Thou didst send me, Jn. 17:25
- and I made known to them Thy name, and will make known, that the love with which Thou lovedst me in them may be, and I in them.' Jn. 17:26
- These things having said, Jesus went forth with his disciples beyond the brook of Kedron, where was a garden, into which he entered, himself and his disciples, Jn. 18:1
- and Judas also, who delivered him up, had known the place, because many times did Jesus assemble there with his disciples. Jn. 18:2
- Judas, therefore, having taken the band and officers out of the chief priests and Pharisees, doth come thither with torches and lamps, and weapons; Jn. 18:3
- they answered him, `Jesus the Nazarene;' Jesus saith to them, `I am he;' -- and Judas who delivered him up was standing with them; -- Jn. 18:5
- when, therefore, he said to them -- `I am he,' they went away backward, and fell to the ground. Jn. 18:6
- Again, therefore, he questioned them, `Whom do ye seek?' and they said, `Jesus the Nazarene;' Jn. 18:7
- that the word might be fulfilled that he said -- `Those whom Thou hast given to me, I did not lose of them even one.' Jn. 18:9
- Simon Peter, therefore, having a sword, drew it, and struck the chief priest's servant, and cut off his right ear -- and the name of the servant was Malchus -- Jn. 18:10
- Jesus, therefore, said to Peter, `Put the sword into the sheath; the cup that the Father hath given to me, may I not drink it?' Jn. 18:11
- The band, therefore, and the captain, and the officers of the Jews, took hold on Jesus, and bound him, Jn. 18:12
- and Caiaphas was he who gave counsel to the Jews, that it is good for one man to perish for the people. Jn. 18:14
- And following Jesus was Simon Peter, and the other disciple, and that disciple was known to the chief priest, and he entered with Jesus to the hall of the chief priest, Jn. 18:15
- and Peter was standing at the door without, therefore went forth the other disciple who was known to the chief priest, and he spake to the female keeping the door, and he brought in Peter. Jn. 18:16
- Then said the maid keeping the door to Peter, `Art thou also of the disciples of this man?' he saith, `I am not;' Jn. 18:17
- and the servants and the officers were standing, having made a fire of coals, because it was cold, and they were warming themselves, and Peter was standing with them, and warming himself. Jn. 18:18
- The chief priests, therefore, questioned Jesus concerning his disciples, and concerning his teaching; Jn. 18:19
- Jesus answered him, `I spake freely to the world, I did always teach in a synagogue, and in the temple, where the Jews do always come together; and in secret I spake nothing; Jn. 18:20
- And he having said these things, one of the officers standing by did give Jesus a slap, saying, `Thus dost thou answer the chief priest?' Jn. 18:22
- Jesus answered him, `If I spake ill, testify concerning the ill; and if well, why me dost thou smite?' Jn. 18:23
- Annas then sent him bound to Caiaphas the chief priest. Jn. 18:24
- One of the servants of the chief priest, being kinsman of him whose ear Peter cut off, saith, `Did not I see thee in the garden with him?' Jn. 18:26
- They led, therefore, Jesus from Caiaphas to the praetorium, and it was early, and they themselves did not enter into the praetorium, that they might not be defiled, but that they might eat the passover; Jn. 18:28
- Pilate, therefore, said to them, `Take ye him -- ye -- and according to your law judge him;' the Jews, therefore, said to him, `It is not lawful to us to put any one to death;' Jn. 18:31
- that the word of Jesus might be fulfilled which he said, signifying by what death he was about to die. Jn. 18:32
- Pilate, therefore, entered into the praetorium again, and called Jesus, and said to him, `Thou art the King of the Jews?' Jn. 18:33
- Pilate answered, `Am I a Jew? thy nation, and the chief priests did deliver thee up to me; what didst thou?' Jn. 18:35
- Pilate, therefore, said to him, `Art thou then a king?' Jesus answered, `Thou dost say it; because a king I am, I for this have been born, and for this I have come to the world, that I may testify to the truth; every one who is of the truth, doth hear my voice.' Jn. 18:37
- Pilate saith to him, `What is truth?' and this having said, again he went forth unto the Jews, and saith to them, `I do find no fault in him; Jn. 18:38
- and ye have a custom that I shall release to you one in the passover; will ye, therefore, that I shall release to you the king of the Jews?' Jn. 18:39
- and the soldiers having plaited a crown of thorns, did place it on his head, and a purple garment they put around him, Jn. 19:2
- and said, `Hail! the king of the Jews;' and they were giving him slaps. Jn. 19:3
- Jesus, therefore, came forth without, bearing the thorny crown and the purple garment; and he saith to them, `Lo, the man!' Jn. 19:5
- When, therefore, the chief priests and the officers did see him, they cried out, saying, `Crucify, crucify;' Pilate saith to them, `Take ye him -- ye, and crucify; for I find no fault in him;' Jn. 19:6
- the Jews answered him, `We have a law, and according to our law he ought to die, for he made himself Son of God.' Jn. 19:7
- When, therefore, Pilate heard this word, he was the more afraid, Jn. 19:8
- and entered again to the praetorium, and saith to Jesus, `Whence art thou?' and Jesus gave him no answer. Jn. 19:9
- From this time was Pilate seeking to release him, and the Jews were crying out, saying, `If this one thou mayest release, thou art not a friend of Caesar; every one making himself a king, doth speak against Caesar.' Jn. 19:12
- Pilate, therefore, having heard this word, brought Jesus without -- and he sat down upon the tribunal -- to a place called, `Pavement,' and in Hebrew, Gabbatha; Jn. 19:13
- and it was the preparation of the passover, and as it were the sixth hour, and he saith to the Jews, `Lo, your king!' Jn. 19:14
- and they cried out, `Take away, take away, crucify him;' Pilate saith to them, `Your king shall I crucify?' the chief priests answered, `We have no king except Caesar.' Jn. 19:15
- and bearing his cross, he went forth to the place called Place of a Skull, which is called in Hebrew Golgotha; Jn. 19:17
- where they crucified him, and with him two others, on this side, and on that side, and Jesus in the midst. Jn. 19:18
- And Pilate also wrote a title, and put it on the cross, and it was written, `Jesus the Nazarene, the king of the Jews;' Jn. 19:19
- this title, therefore, read many of the Jews, because the place was nigh to the city where Jesus was crucified, and it was having been written in Hebrew, in Greek, in Roman. Jn. 19:20
- The chief priests of the Jews said, therefore, to Pilate, `Write not -- The king of the Jews, but that one said, I am king of the Jews;' Jn. 19:21
- The soldiers, therefore, when they did crucify Jesus, took his garments, and made four parts, to each soldier a part, also the coat, and the coat was seamless, from the top woven throughout, Jn. 19:23
- they said, therefore, to one another, `We may not rend it, but cast a lot for it, whose it shall be;' that the Writing might be fulfilled, that is saying, `They divided my garments to themselves, and upon my raiment they did cast a lot;' the soldiers, therefore, indeed, did these things. Jn. 19:24
- And there stood by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary of Cleopas, and Mary the Magdalene; Jn. 19:25
- Jesus, therefore, having seen his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he was loving, he saith to his mother, `Woman, lo, thy son;' Jn. 19:26
- afterward he saith to the disciple, `Lo, thy mother;' and from that hour the disciple took her to his own home. Jn. 19:27
- After this, Jesus knowing that all things now have been finished, that the Writing may be fulfilled, saith, `I thirst;' Jn. 19:28
- when, therefore, Jesus received the vinegar, he said, `It hath been finished;' and having bowed the head, gave up the spirit. Jn. 19:30
- The Jews, therefore, that the bodies might not remain on the cross on the sabbath, since it was the preparation, (for that sabbath day was a great one,) asked of Pilate that their legs may be broken, and they taken away. Jn. 19:31
- The soldiers, therefore, came, and of the first indeed they did break the legs, and of the other who was crucified with him, Jn. 19:32
- but one of the soldiers with a spear did pierce his side, and immediately there came forth blood and water; Jn. 19:34
- For these things came to pass, that the Writing may be fulfilled, `A bone of him shall not be broken;' Jn. 19:36
- And after these things did Joseph of Arimathea -- being a disciple of Jesus, but concealed, through the fear of the Jews -- ask of Pilate, that he may take away the body of Jesus, and Pilate gave leave; he came, therefore, and took away the body of Jesus, Jn. 19:38
- and Nicodemus also came -- who came unto Jesus by night at the first -- bearing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, as it were, a hundred pounds. Jn. 19:39
- They took, therefore, the body of Jesus, and bound it with linen clothes with the spices, according as it was the custom of the Jews to prepare for burial; Jn. 19:40
- and there was in the place where he was crucified a garden, and in the garden a new tomb, in which no one was yet laid; Jn. 19:41
- there, therefore, because of the preparation of the Jews, because the tomb was nigh, they laid Jesus. Jn. 19:42
- And on the first of the sabbaths, Mary the Magdalene doth come early (there being yet darkness) to the tomb, and she seeth the stone having been taken away out of the tomb, Jn. 20:1
- she runneth, therefore, and cometh unto Simon Peter, and unto the other disciple whom Jesus was loving, and saith to them, `They took away the Lord out of the tomb, and we have not known where they laid him.' Jn. 20:2
- Peter, therefore, went forth, and the other disciple, and they were coming to the tomb, Jn. 20:3
- and the two were running together, and the other disciple did run forward more quickly than Peter, and came first to the tomb, Jn. 20:4
- and having stooped down, seeth the linen clothes lying, yet, indeed, he entered not. Jn. 20:5
- Simon Peter, therefore, cometh, following him, and he entered into the tomb, and beholdeth the linen clothes lying, Jn. 20:6
- and the napkin that was upon his head, not lying with the linen clothes, but apart, having been folded up, in one place; Jn. 20:7
- then, therefore, entered also the other disciple who came first unto the tomb, and he saw, and did believe; Jn. 20:8
- for not yet did they know the Writing, that it behoveth him out of the dead to rise again. Jn. 20:9
- The disciples therefore went away again unto their own friends, Jn. 20:10
- and Mary was standing near the tomb, weeping without; as she was weeping, then, she stooped down to the tomb, Jn. 20:11
- and beholdeth two messengers in white, sitting, one at the head, and one at the feet, where the body of Jesus had been laid. Jn. 20:12
- Jesus saith to her, `Woman, why dost thou weep? whom dost thou seek;' she, supposing that he is the gardener, saith to him, `Sir, if thou didst carry him away, tell me where thou didst lay him, and I will take him away;' Jn. 20:15
- Mary the Magdalene cometh, telling to the disciples that she hath seen the Lord, and that these things he said to her. Jn. 20:18
- It being, therefore, evening, on that day, the first of the sabbaths, and the doors having been shut where the disciples were assembled, through fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst, and saith to them, `Peace to you;' Jn. 20:19
- and this having said, he shewed them his hands and side; the disciples, therefore, rejoiced, having seen the Lord. Jn. 20:20
- Jesus, therefore, said to them again, `Peace to you; according as the Father hath sent me, I also send you;' Jn. 20:21
- and this having said, he breathed on them, and saith to them, `Receive the Holy Spirit; Jn. 20:22
- if of any ye may loose the sins, they are loosed to them; if of any ye may retain, they have been retained.' Jn. 20:23
- And Thomas, one of the twelve, who is called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came; Jn. 20:24
- the other disciples, therefore, said to him, `We have seen the Lord;' and he said to them, `If I may not see in his hands the mark of the nails, and may put my finger to the mark of the nails, and may put my hand to his side, I will not believe.' Jn. 20:25
- And after eight days, again were his disciples within, and Thomas with them; Jesus cometh, the doors having been shut, and he stood in the midst, and said, `Peace to you!' Jn. 20:26
- and these have been written that ye may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing ye may have life in his name.' Jn. 20:31
- After these things did Jesus manifest himself again to the disciples on the sea of Tiberias, and he did manifest himself thus: Jn. 21:1
- There were together Simon Peter, and Thomas who is called Didymus, and Nathanael from Cana of Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and two others of his disciples. Jn. 21:2
- Simon Peter saith to them, `I go away to fish;' they say to him, `We go -- we also -- with thee;' they went forth and entered into the boat immediately, and on that night they caught nothing. Jn. 21:3
- And morning being now come, Jesus stood at the shore, yet indeed the disciples did not know that it is Jesus; Jn. 21:4
- and he said to them, `Cast the net at the right side of the boat, and ye shall find;' they cast, therefore, and no longer were they able to draw it, from the multitude of the fishes. Jn. 21:6
- That disciple, therefore, whom Jesus was loving saith to Peter, `The Lord it is!' Simon Peter, therefore, having heard that it is the Lord, did gird on the outer coat, (for he was naked,) and did cast himself into the sea; Jn. 21:7
- and the other disciples came by the little boat, for they were not far from the land, but as it were about two hundred cubits off, dragging the net of the fishes; Jn. 21:8
- when, therefore, they came to the land, they behold a fire of coals lying, and a fish lying on it, and bread. Jn. 21:9
- Jesus saith to them, `Bring ye from the fishes that ye caught now;' Jn. 21:10
- Simon Peter went up, and drew the net up on the land, full of great fishes, an hundred fifty and three, and though they were so many, the net was not rent. Jn. 21:11
- Jesus saith to them, `Come ye, dine;' and none of the disciples was venturing to inquire of him, `Who art thou?' knowing that it is the Lord; Jn. 21:12
- Jesus, therefore, doth come and take the bread and give to them, and the fish in like manner; Jn. 21:13
- this is now a third time Jesus was manifested to his disciples, having been raised from the dead. Jn. 21:14
- He saith to him the third time, `Simon, son of Jonas, dost thou dearly love me?' Peter was grieved that he said to him the third time, `Dost thou dearly love me?' and he said to him, `Lord, thou hast known all things; thou dost know that I dearly love thee.' Jesus saith to him, `Feed my sheep; Jn. 21:17
- And Peter having turned about doth see the disciple whom Jesus was loving following, (who also reclined in the supper on his breast, and said, `Sir, who is he who is delivering thee up?') Jn. 21:20
- This word, therefore, went forth to the brethren that that disciple doth not die, yet Jesus did not say to him, that he doth not die, but, `If him I will to remain till I come, what -- to thee?' Jn. 21:23
- this is the disciple who is testifying concerning these things, and he wrote these things, and we have known that his testimony is true. Jn. 21:24
- And there are also many other things -- as many as Jesus did -- which, if they may be written one by one, not even the world itself I think to have place for the books written. Amen. Jn. 21:25
- The former account, indeed, I made concerning all things, O Theophilus, that Jesus began both to do and to teach, Acts 1:1
- till the day in which, having given command, through the Holy Spirit, to the apostles whom he did choose out, he was taken up, Acts 1:2
- to whom also he did present himself alive after his suffering, in many certain proofs, through forty days being seen by them, and speaking the things concerning the reign of God. Acts 1:3
- And being assembled together with them, he commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the promise of the Father, which, saith he, `Ye did hear of me; Acts 1:4
- because John, indeed, baptized with water, and ye shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit -- after not many days.' Acts 1:5
- They, therefore, indeed, having come together, were questioning him, saying, `Lord, dost thou at this time restore the reign to Israel?' Acts 1:6
- and he said unto them, `It is not yours to know times or seasons that the Father did appoint in His own authority; Acts 1:7
- but ye shall receive power at the coming of the Holy Spirit upon you, and ye shall be witnesses to me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and Samaria, and unto the end of the earth.' Acts 1:8
- and as they were looking stedfastly to the heaven in his going on, then, lo, two men stood by them in white apparel, Acts 1:10
- who also said, `Men, Galileans, why do ye stand gazing into the heaven? this Jesus who was received up from you into the heaven, shall so come in what manner ye saw him going on to the heaven.' Acts 1:11
- Then did they return to Jerusalem from the mount that is called of Olives, that is near Jerusalem, a sabbath's journey; Acts 1:12
- and when they came in, they went up to the upper room, where were abiding both Peter, and James, and John, and Andrew, Philip, and Thomas, Bartholomew, and Matthew, James, of Alphaeus, and Simon the Zelotes, and Judas, of James; Acts 1:13
- these all were continuing with one accord in prayer and supplication, with women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren. Acts 1:14
- And in these days, Peter having risen up in the midst of the disciples, said, (the multitude also of the names at the same place was, as it were, an hundred and twenty,) Acts 1:15
- `Men, brethren, it behoved this Writing that it be fulfilled that beforehand the Holy Spirit spake through the mouth of David, concerning Judas, who became guide to those who took Jesus, Acts 1:16
- because he was numbered among us, and did receive the share in this ministration, Acts 1:17
- this one, indeed, then, purchased a field out of the reward of unrighteousness, and falling headlong, burst asunder in the midst, and all his bowels gushed forth, Acts 1:18
- for it hath been written in the book of Psalms: Let his lodging-place become desolate, and let no one be dwelling in it, and his oversight let another take. Acts 1:20
- `It behoveth, therefore, of the men who did go with us during all the time in which the Lord Jesus went in and went out among us, Acts 1:21
- beginning from the baptism of John, unto the day in which he was received up from us, one of these to become with us a witness of his rising again.' Acts 1:22
- and having prayed, they said, `Thou, Lord, who art knowing the heart of all, shew which one thou didst choose of these two Acts 1:24
- to receive the share of this ministration and apostleship, from which Judas, by transgression, did fall, to go on to his proper place;' Acts 1:25
- and they gave their lots, and the lot fell upon Matthias, and he was numbered with the eleven apostles. Acts 1:26
- And in the day of the Pentecost being fulfilled, they were all with one accord at the same place, Acts 2:1
- and there came suddenly out of the heaven a sound as of a bearing violent breath, and it filled all the house where they were sitting, Acts 2:2
- and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and began to speak with other tongues, according as the Spirit was giving them to declare. Acts 2:4
- And there were dwelling in Jerusalem Jews, devout men from every nation of those under the heaven, Acts 2:5
- and the rumour of this having come, the multitude came together, and was confounded, because they were each one hearing them speaking in his proper dialect, Acts 2:6
- Phrygia also, and Pamphylia, Egypt, and the parts of Libya, that are along Cyrene, and the strangers of Rome, both Jews and proselytes, Acts 2:10
- Cretes and Arabians, we did hear them speaking in our tongues the great things of God.' Acts 2:11
- and Peter having stood up with the eleven, lifted up his voice and declared to them, `Men, Jews! and all those dwelling in Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and harken to my sayings, Acts 2:14
- for these are not drunken, as ye take it up, for it is the third hour of the day. Acts 2:15
- `But this is that which hath been spoken through the prophet Joel: Acts 2:16
- And it shall be in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of My Spirit upon all flesh, and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams; Acts 2:17
- and I will give wonders in the heaven above, and signs upon the earth beneath -- blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke, Acts 2:19
- the sun shall be turned to darkness, and the moon to blood, before the coming of the day of the Lord -- the great and illustrious; Acts 2:20
- and it shall be, every one -- whoever shall call upon the name of the Lord, he shall be saved. Acts 2:21
- `Men, Israelites! hear these words, Jesus the Nazarene, a man approved of God among you by mighty works, and wonders, and signs, that God did through him in the midst of you, according as also ye yourselves have known; Acts 2:22
- this one, by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, being given out, having taken by lawless hands, having crucified -- ye did slay; Acts 2:23
- whom God did raise up, having loosed the pains of the death, because it was not possible for him to be held by it, Acts 2:24
- for David saith in regard to him: I foresaw the Lord always before me -- because He is on my right hand -- that I may not be moved; Acts 2:25
- `Men, brethren! it is permitted to speak with freedom unto you concerning the patriarch David, that he both died and was buried, and his tomb is among us unto this day; Acts 2:29
- a prophet, therefore, being, and knowing that with an oath God did swear to him, out of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, to raise up the Christ, to sit upon his throne, Acts 2:30
- having foreseen, he did speak concerning the rising again of the Christ, that his soul was not left to hades, nor did his flesh see corruption. Acts 2:31
- at the right hand then of God having been exalted -- also the promise of the Holy Spirit having received from the Father -- he was shedding forth this, which now ye see and hear; Acts 2:33
- for David did not go up to the heavens, and he saith himself: The Lord saith to my lord, Sit thou at my right hand, Acts 2:34
- assuredly, therefore, let all the house of Israel know, that both Lord and Christ did God make him -- this Jesus whom ye did crucify.' Acts 2:36
- And having heard, they were pricked to the heart; they say also to Peter, and to the rest of the apostles, `What shall we do, men, brethren?' Acts 2:37
- and Peter said unto them, `Reform, and be baptized each of you on the name of Jesus Christ, to remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit, Acts 2:38
- for to you is the promise, and to your children, and to all those afar off, as many as the Lord our God shall call.' Acts 2:39
- and they were continuing stedfastly in the teaching of the apostles, and the fellowship, and the breaking of the bread, and the prayers. Acts 2:42
- And fear came on every soul, many wonders also and signs were being done through the apostles, Acts 2:43
- and all those believing were at the same place, and had all things common, Acts 2:44
- and the possessions and the goods they were selling, and were parting them to all, according as any one had need. Acts 2:45
- Daily also continuing with one accord in the temple, breaking also at every house bread, they were partaking of food in gladness and simplicity of heart, Acts 2:46
- praising God, and having favour with all the people, and the Lord was adding those being saved every day to the assembly. Acts 2:47
- And Peter and John were going up at the same time to the temple, at the hour of the prayer, the ninth hour, Acts 3:1
- and a certain man, being lame from the womb of his mother, was being carried, whom they were laying every day at the gate of the temple, called Beautiful, to ask a kindness from those entering into the temple, Acts 3:2
- who, having seen Peter and John about to go into the temple, was begging to receive a kindness. Acts 3:3
- and Peter said, `Silver and gold I have none, but what I have, that I give to thee; in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and be walking.' Acts 3:6
- And having seized him by the right hand, he raised him up, and presently his feet and ankles were strengthened, Acts 3:7
- and springing up, he stood, and was walking, and did enter with them into the temple, walking and springing, and praising God; Acts 3:8
- and all the people saw him walking and praising God, Acts 3:9
- they were knowing him also that this it was who for a kindness was sitting at the Beautiful gate of the temple, and they were filled with wonder and amazement at what hath happened to him. Acts 3:10
- And at the lame man who was healed holding Peter and John, all the people ran together unto them in the porch called Solomon's -- greatly amazed, Acts 3:11
- and Peter having seen, answered unto the people, `Men, Israelites! why wonder ye at this? or on us why look ye so earnestly, as if by our own power or piety we have made him to walk? Acts 3:12
- `The God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob, the God of our fathers, did glorify His child Jesus, whom ye delivered up, and denied him in the presence of Pilate, he having given judgment to release him, Acts 3:13
- and ye the Holy and Righteous One did deny, and desired a man -- a murderer -- to be granted to you, Acts 3:14
- and the Prince of the life ye did kill, whom God did raise out of the dead, of which we are witnesses; Acts 3:15
- and on the faith of his name, this one whom ye see and have known, his name made strong, even the faith that is through him did give to him this perfect soundness before you all. Acts 3:16
- and God, what things before He had declared through the mouth of all His prophets, that the Christ should suffer, He did thus fulfil; Acts 3:18
- reform ye, therefore, and turn back, for your sins being blotted out, that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord, Acts 3:19
- whom it behoveth heaven, indeed, to receive till times of a restitution of all things, of which God spake through the mouth of all His holy prophets from the age. Acts 3:21
- `For Moses, indeed, unto the fathers said -- A prophet to you shall the Lord your God raise up out of your brethren, like to me; him shall ye hear in all things, as many as he may speak unto you; Acts 3:22
- and it shall be, every soul that may not hear that prophet shall be utterly destroyed out of the people; Acts 3:23
- and also all the prophets from Samuel and those following in order, as many as spake, did also foretell of these days. Acts 3:24
- `Ye are sons of the prophets, and of the covenant that God made unto our fathers, saying unto Abraham: And in thy seed shall be blessed all the families of the earth; Acts 3:25
- to you first, God, having raised up His child Jesus, did send him, blessing you, in the turning away of each one from your evil ways.' Acts 3:26
- And as they are speaking unto the people, there came to them the priests, and the magistrate of the temple, and the Sadducees -- Acts 4:1
- being grieved because of their teaching the people, and preaching in Jesus the rising again out of the dead -- Acts 4:2
- and they laid hands upon them, and did put them in custody unto the morrow, for it was evening already; Acts 4:3
- and many of those hearing the word did believe, and the number of the men became, as it were, five thousand. Acts 4:4
- And it came to pass upon the morrow, there were gathered together of them the rulers, and elders, and scribes, to Jerusalem, Acts 4:5
- and Annas the chief priest, and Caiaphas, and John, and Alexander, and as many as were of the kindred of the chief priest, Acts 4:6
- and having set them in the midst, they were inquiring, `In what power, or in what name did ye do this?' Acts 4:7
- Then Peter, having been filled with the Holy Spirit, said unto them: `Rulers of the people, and elders of Israel, Acts 4:8
- if we to-day are examined concerning the good deed to the ailing man, by whom he hath been saved, Acts 4:9
- be it known to all of you, and to all the people of Israel, that in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye did crucify, whom God did raise out of the dead, in him hath this one stood by before you whole. Acts 4:10
- `This is the stone that was set at nought by you -- the builders, that became head of a corner; Acts 4:11
- and there is not salvation in any other, for there is no other name under the heaven that hath been given among men, in which it behoveth us to be saved.' Acts 4:12
- And beholding the openness of Peter and John, and having perceived that they are men unlettered and plebeian, they were wondering -- they were taking knowledge also of them that with Jesus they had been -- Acts 4:13
- and seeing the man standing with them who hath been healed, they had nothing to say against it, Acts 4:14
- and having commanded them to go away out of the sanhedrim, they took counsel with one another, Acts 4:15
- but that it may spread no further toward the people, let us strictly threaten them no more to speak in this name to any man.' Acts 4:17
- And having called them, they charged them not to speak at all, nor to teach, in the name of Jesus, Acts 4:18
- And they having further threatened them, let them go, finding nothing how they may punish them, because of the people, because all were glorifying God for that which hath been done, Acts 4:21
- for above forty years of age was the man upon whom had been done this sign of the healing. Acts 4:22
- And being let go, they went unto their own friends, and declared whatever the chief priests and the elders said unto them, Acts 4:23
- and they having heard, with one accord did lift up the voice unto God, and said, `Lord, thou art God, who didst make the heaven, and the earth, and the sea, and all that are in them, Acts 4:24
- who, through the mouth of David thy servant, did say, Why did nations rage, and peoples meditate vain things? Acts 4:25
- the kings of the earth stood up, and the rulers were gathered together against the Lord and against His Christ; Acts 4:26
- in the stretching forth of Thy hand, for healing, and signs, and wonders, to come to pass through the name of Thy holy child Jesus.' Acts 4:30
- And they having prayed, the place was shaken in which they were gathered together, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and were speaking the word of God with freedom, Acts 4:31
- and of the multitude of those who did believe the heart and the soul was one, and not one was saying that anything of the things he had was his own, but all things were to them in common. Acts 4:32
- And with great power were the apostles giving the testimony to the rising again of the Lord Jesus, great grace also was on them all, Acts 4:33
- for there was not any one among them who did lack, for as many as were possessors of fields, or houses, selling them, were bringing the prices of the thing sold, Acts 4:34
- and were laying them at the feet of the apostles, and distribution was being made to each according as any one had need. Acts 4:35
- And Joses, who was surnamed by the apostles Barnabas -- which is, having been interpreted, Son of Comfort -- a Levite, of Cyprus by birth, Acts 4:36
- a field being his, having sold it, brought the money and laid it at the feet of the apostles. Acts 4:37
- and did keep back of the price -- his wife also knowing -- and having brought a certain part, at the feet of the apostles he laid it. Acts 5:2
- And Peter said, `Ananias, wherefore did the Adversary fill thy heart, for thee to lie to the Holy Spirit, and to keep back of the price of the place? Acts 5:3
- and having risen, the younger men wound him up, and having carried forth, they buried him. Acts 5:6
- and Peter answered her, `Tell me if for so much ye sold the place;' and she said, `Yes, for so much.' Acts 5:8
- And Peter said unto her, `How was it agreed by you, to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? lo, the feet of those who did bury thy husband are at the door, and they shall carry thee forth;' Acts 5:9
- and she fell down presently at his feet, and expired, and the young men having come in, found her dead, and having carried forth, they buried her by her husband; Acts 5:10
- and great fear came upon all the assembly, and upon all who heard these things. Acts 5:11
- And through the hands of the apostles came many signs and wonders among the people, and they were with one accord all in the porch of Solomon; Acts 5:12
- and of the rest no one was daring to join himself to them, but the people were magnifying them, Acts 5:13
- (and the more were believers added to the Lord, multitudes both of men and women,) Acts 5:14
- so as into the broad places to bring forth the ailing, and to lay them upon couches and mats, that at the coming of Peter, even his shadow might overshadow some one of them; Acts 5:15
- and there were coming together also the people of the cities round about to Jerusalem, bearing ailing persons, and those harassed by unclean spirits -- who were all healed. Acts 5:16
- And having risen, the chief priest, and all those with him -- being the sect of the Sadducees -- were filled with zeal, Acts 5:17
- and laid their hands upon the apostles, and did put them in a public prison; Acts 5:18
- and a messenger of the Lord through the night opened the doors of the prison, having also brought them forth, he said, Acts 5:19
- `Go on, and standing, speak in the temple to the people all the sayings of this life;' Acts 5:20
- and having heard, they did enter at the dawn into the temple, and were teaching. And the chief priest having come, and those with him, they called together the sanhedrim and all the senate of the sons of Israel, and they sent to the prison to have them brought, Acts 5:21
- and the officers having come, did not find them in the prison, and having turned back, they told, Acts 5:22
- saying -- `The prison indeed we found shut in all safety, and the keepers standing without before the doors, and having opened -- within we found no one.' Acts 5:23
- And as the priest, and the magistrate of the temple, and the chief priests, heard these words, they were doubting concerning them to what this would come; Acts 5:24
- and coming near, a certain one told them, saying -- `Lo, the men whom ye did put in the prison are in the temple standing and teaching the people;' Acts 5:25
- then the magistrate having gone away with officers, brought them without violence, for they were fearing the people, lest they should be stoned; Acts 5:26
- and having brought them, they set them in the sanhedrim, and the chief priest questioned them, Acts 5:27
- saying, `Did not we strictly command you not to teach in this name? and lo, ye have filled Jerusalem with your teaching, and ye intend to bring upon us the blood of this man.' Acts 5:28
- And Peter and the apostles answering, said, `To obey God it behoveth, rather than men; Acts 5:29
- and the God of our fathers did raise up Jesus, whom ye slew, having hanged upon a tree; Acts 5:30
- and we are His witnesses of these sayings, and the Holy Spirit also, whom God gave to those obeying him.' Acts 5:32
- And they having heard, were cut to the heart, and were taking counsel to slay them, Acts 5:33
- but a certain one, having risen up in the sanhedrim -- a Pharisee, by name Gamaliel, a teacher of law honoured by all the people -- commanded to put the apostles forth a little, Acts 5:34
- `After this one rose up, Judas the Galilean, in the days of the enrollment, and drew away much people after him, and that one perished, and all, as many as were obeying him, were scattered; Acts 5:37
- And to him they agreed, and having called near the apostles, having beaten them, they commanded them not to speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go; Acts 5:40
- they, indeed, then, departed from the presence of the sanhedrim, rejoicing that for his name they were counted worthy to suffer dishonour, Acts 5:41
- every day also in the temple, and in every house, they were not ceasing teaching and proclaiming good news -- Jesus the Christ. Acts 5:42
- And in these days, the disciples multiplying, there came a murmuring of the Hellenists at the Hebrews, because their widows were being overlooked in the daily ministration, Acts 6:1
- and the twelve, having called near the multitude of the disciples, said, `It is not pleasing that we, having left the word of God, do minister at tables; Acts 6:2
- look out, therefore, brethren, seven men of you who are well testified of, full of the Holy Spirit and wisdom, whom we may set over this necessity, Acts 6:3
- and we to prayer, and to the ministration of the word, will give ourselves continually.' Acts 6:4
- And the thing was pleasing before all the multitude, and they did choose Stephen, a man full of faith and the Holy Spirit, and Philip, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolaus, a proselyte of Antioch, Acts 6:5
- whom they did set before the apostles, and they, having prayed, laid on them their hands. Acts 6:6
- And the word of God did increase, and the number of the disciples did multiply in Jerusalem exceedingly; a great multitude also of the priests were obedient to the faith. Acts 6:7
- And Stephen, full of faith and power, was doing great wonders and signs among the people, Acts 6:8
- and there arose certain of those of the synagogue, called of the Libertines, and Cyrenians, and Alexandrians, and of those from Cilicia, and Asia, disputing with Stephen, Acts 6:9
- and they were not able to resist the wisdom and the spirit with which he was speaking; Acts 6:10
- They did stir up also the people, and the elders, and the scribes, and having come upon him, they caught him, and brought him to the sanhedrim; Acts 6:12
- they set up also false witnesses, saying, `This one doth not cease to speak evil sayings against this holy place and the law, Acts 6:13
- for we have heard him saying, That this Jesus the Nazarean shall overthrow this place, and shall change the customs that Moses delivered to us;' Acts 6:14
- and gazing at him, all those sitting in the sanhedrim saw his face as it were the face of a messenger. Acts 6:15
- And the chief priest said, `Are then these things so?' Acts 7:1
- and he said, `Men, brethren, and fathers, hearken: The God of the glory did appear to our father Abraham, being in Mesopotamia, before his dwelling in Haran, Acts 7:2
- `Then having come forth out of the land of the Chaldeans, he dwelt in Haran, and from thence, after the death of his father, He did remove him to this land wherein ye now dwell, Acts 7:4
- and the nation whom they shall serve I will judge, said God; and after these things they shall come forth and shall do Me service in this place. Acts 7:7
- `And He gave to him a covenant of circumcision, and so he begat Isaac, and did circumcise him on the eighth day, and Isaac begat Jacob, and Jacob -- the twelve patriarchs; Acts 7:8
- and the patriarchs, having been moved with jealousy, sold Joseph to Egypt, and God was with him, Acts 7:9
- `And there came a dearth upon all the land of Egypt and Canaan, and great tribulation, and our fathers were not finding sustenance, Acts 7:11
- and at the second time was Joseph made known to his brethren, and Joseph's kindred became manifest to Pharaoh, Acts 7:13
- and they were carried over into Sychem, and were laid in the tomb that Abraham bought for a price in money from the sons of Emmor, of Sychem. Acts 7:16
- `And according as the time of the promise was drawing nigh, which God did swear to Abraham, the people increased and multiplied in Egypt, Acts 7:17
- in which time Moses was born, and he was fair to God, and he was brought up three months in the house of his father; Acts 7:20
- and he having been exposed, the daughter of Pharaoh took him up, and did rear him to herself for a son; Acts 7:21
- and Moses was taught in all wisdom of the Egyptians, and he was powerful in words and in works. Acts 7:22
- `And when forty years were fulfilled to him, it came upon his heart to look after his brethren, the sons of Israel; Acts 7:23
- and having seen a certain one suffering injustice, he did defend, and did justice to the oppressed, having smitten the Egyptian; Acts 7:24
- `On the succeeding day, also, he shewed himself to them as they are striving, and urged them to peace, saying, Men, brethren are ye, wherefore do ye injustice to one another? Acts 7:26
- and he who is doing injustice to the neighbour, did thrust him away, saying, Who set thee a ruler and a judge over us? Acts 7:27
- to kill me dost thou wish, as thou didst kill yesterday the Egyptian? Acts 7:28
- `And Moses fled at this word, and became a sojourner in the land of Midian, where he begat two sons, Acts 7:29
- and forty years having been fulfilled, there appeared to him in the wilderness of mount Sinai a messenger of the Lord, in a flame of fire of a bush, Acts 7:30
- and Moses having seen did wonder at the sight; and he drawing near to behold, there came a voice of the Lord unto him, Acts 7:31
- I am the God of thy fathers; the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. `And Moses having become terrified, durst not behold, Acts 7:32
- and the Lord said to him, Loose the sandal of thy feet, for the place in which thou hast stood is holy ground; Acts 7:33
- seeing I have seen the affliction of My people that is in Egypt, and their groaning I did hear, and came down to deliver them; and now come, I will send thee to Egypt. Acts 7:34
- `This Moses, whom they did refuse, saying, Who did set thee a ruler and a judge? this one God a ruler and a redeemer did send, in the hand of a messenger who appeared to him in the bush; Acts 7:35
- this one did bring them forth, having done wonders and signs in the land of Egypt, and in the Red Sea, and in the wilderness forty years; Acts 7:36
- this is the Moses who did say to the sons of Israel: A prophet to you shall the Lord your God raise up out of your brethren, like to me, him shall ye hear. Acts 7:37
- `This is he who was in the assembly in the wilderness, with the messenger who is speaking to him in the mount Sinai, and with our fathers who did receive the living oracles to give to us; Acts 7:38
- saying to Aaron, Make to us gods who shall go on before us, for this Moses, who brought us forth out of the land of Egypt, we have not known what hath happened to him. Acts 7:40
- `And they made a calf in those days, and brought a sacrifice to the idol, and were rejoicing in the works of their hands, Acts 7:41
- and God did turn, and did give them up to do service to the host of the heaven, according as it hath been written in the scroll of the prophets: Slain beasts and sacrifices did ye offer to Me forty years in the wilderness, O house of Israel? Acts 7:42
- and ye took up the tabernacle of Moloch, and the star of your god Remphan -- the figures that ye made to bow before them, and I will remove your dwelling beyond Babylon. Acts 7:43
- `The tabernacle of the testimony was among our fathers in the wilderness, according as He did direct, who is speaking to Moses, to make it according to the figure that he had seen; Acts 7:44
- which also our fathers having in succession received, did bring in with Joshua, into the possession of the nations whom God did drive out from the presence of our fathers, till the days of David, Acts 7:45
- who found favour before God, and requested to find a tabernacle for the God of Jacob; Acts 7:46
- `But the Most High in sanctuaries made with hands doth not dwell, according as the prophet saith: Acts 7:48
- The heaven is My throne, and the earth My footstool; what house will ye build to Me? saith the Lord, or what is the place of My rest? Acts 7:49
- `Ye stiff-necked and uncircumcised in heart and in ears! ye do always the Holy Spirit resist; as your fathers -- also ye; Acts 7:51
- which of the prophets did not your fathers persecute? and they killed those who declared before about the coming of the Righteous One, of whom now ye betrayers and murderers have become, Acts 7:52
- who received the law by arrangement of messengers, and did not keep it.' Acts 7:53
- And hearing these things, they were cut to the hearts, and did gnash the teeth at him; Acts 7:54
- and being full of the Holy Spirit, having looked stedfastly to the heaven, he saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God, Acts 7:55
- and he said, `Lo, I see the heavens having been opened, and the Son of Man standing on the right hand of God.' Acts 7:56
- and having cast him forth outside of the city, they were stoning him -- and the witnesses did put down their garments at the feet of a young man called Saul -- Acts 7:58
- and having bowed the knees, he cried with a loud voice, `Lord, mayest thou not lay to them this sin;' and this having said, he fell asleep. Acts 7:60
- And Saul was assenting to his death, and there came in that day a great persecution upon the assembly in Jerusalem, all also were scattered abroad in the regions of Judea and Samaria, except the apostles; Acts 8:1
- and Saul was making havoc of the assembly, into every house entering, and haling men and women, was giving them up to prison; Acts 8:3
- they then indeed, having been scattered, went abroad proclaiming good news -- the word. Acts 8:4
- And Philip having gone down to a city of Samaria, was preaching to them the Christ, Acts 8:5
- the multitudes also were giving heed to the things spoken by Philip, with one accord, in their hearing and seeing the signs that he was doing, Acts 8:6
- And a certain man, by name Simon, was before in the city using magic, and amazing the nation of Samaria, saying himself to be a certain great one, Acts 8:9
- to whom they were all giving heed, from small unto great, saying, `This one is the great power of God;' Acts 8:10
- And when they believed Philip, proclaiming good news, the things concerning the reign of God and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized both men and women; Acts 8:12
- And the apostles in Jerusalem having heard that Samaria hath received the word of God, did send unto them Peter and John, Acts 8:14
- who having come down did pray concerning them, that they may receive the Holy Spirit, -- Acts 8:15
- for as yet he was fallen upon none of them, and only they have been baptized -- to the name of the Lord Jesus; Acts 8:16
- then were they laying hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit. Acts 8:17
- And Simon, having beheld that through the laying on of the hands of the apostles, the Holy Spirit is given, brought before them money, Acts 8:18
- saying, `Give also to me this authority, that on whomsoever I may lay the hands, he may receive the Holy Spirit.' Acts 8:19
- And Peter said unto him, `Thy silver with thee -- may it be to destruction! because the gift of God thou didst think to possess through money; Acts 8:20
- reform, therefore, from this thy wickedness, and beseech God, if then the purpose of thy heart may be forgiven thee, Acts 8:22
- for in the gall of bitterness, and bond of unrighteousness, I perceive thee being.' Acts 8:23
- And Simon answering, said, `Beseech ye for me unto the Lord, that nothing may come upon me of the things ye have spoken.' Acts 8:24
- They indeed, therefore, having testified fully, and spoken the word of the Lord, did turn back to Jerusalem; in many villages also of the Samaritans they did proclaim good news. Acts 8:25
- And a messenger of the Lord spake unto Philip, saying, `Arise, and go on toward the south, on the way that is going down from Jerusalem to Gaza,' -- this is desert. Acts 8:26
- And having arisen, he went on, and lo, a man of Ethiopia, a eunuch, a man of rank, of Candace the queen of the Ethiopians, who was over all her treasure, who had come to worship to Jerusalem; Acts 8:27
- he was also returning, and is sitting on his chariot, and he was reading the prophet Isaiah. Acts 8:28
- And the Spirit said to Philip, `Go near, and be joined to this chariot;' Acts 8:29
- and Philip having run near, heard him reading the prophet Isaiah, and said, `Dost thou then know what thou dost read?' Acts 8:30
- And the contents of the Writing that he was reading was this: `As a sheep unto slaughter he was led, and as a lamb before his shearer dumb, so he doth not open his mouth; Acts 8:32
- in his humiliation his judgment was taken away, and his generation -- who shall declare? because taken from the earth is his life.' Acts 8:33
- And the eunuch answering Philip said, `I pray thee, about whom doth the prophet say this? about himself, or about some other one?' Acts 8:34
- And as they were going on the way, they came upon a certain water, and the eunuch said, `Lo, water; what doth hinder me to be baptized?' Acts 8:36
- And Philip said, `If thou dost believe out of all the heart, it is lawful;' and he answering said, `I believe Jesus Christ to be the Son of God;' Acts 8:37
- and he commanded the chariot to stand still, and they both went down to the water, both Philip and the eunuch, and he baptized him; Acts 8:38
- and when they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, and the eunuch saw him no more, for he was going on his way rejoicing; Acts 8:39
- and Philip was found at Azotus, and passing through, he was proclaiming good news to all the cities, till his coming to Cesarea. Acts 8:40
- And Saul, yet breathing of threatening and slaughter to the disciples of the Lord, having gone to the chief priest, Acts 9:1
- did ask from him letters to Damascus, unto the synagogues, that if he may find any being of the way, both men and women, he may bring them bound to Jerusalem. Acts 9:2
- And in the going, he came nigh to Damascus, and suddenly there shone round about him a light from the heaven, Acts 9:3
- and having fallen upon the earth, he heard a voice saying to him, `Saul, Saul, why me dost thou persecute?' Acts 9:4
- And he said, `Who art thou, Lord?' and the Lord said, `I am Jesus whom thou dost persecute; hard for thee at the pricks to kick;' Acts 9:5
- trembling also, and astonished, he said, `Lord, what dost thou wish me to do?' and the Lord said unto him, `Arise, and enter into the city, and it shall be told thee what it behoveth thee to do.' Acts 9:6
- And the men who are journeying with him stood speechless, hearing indeed the voice but seeing no one, Acts 9:7
- and Saul arose from the earth, and his eyes having been opened, he beheld no one, and leading him by the hand they brought him to Damascus, Acts 9:8
- And there was a certain disciple in Damascus, by name Ananias, and the Lord said unto him in a vision, `Ananias;' and he said, `Behold me, Lord;' Acts 9:10
- and the Lord saith unto him, `Having risen, go on unto the street that is called Straight, and seek in the house of Judas, one by name Saul of Tarsus, for, lo, he doth pray, Acts 9:11
- and here he hath authority from the chief priests, to bind all those calling on Thy name.' Acts 9:14
- And the Lord said unto him, `Be going on, because a choice vessel to Me is this one, to bear My name before nations and kings -- the sons also of Israel; Acts 9:15
- And Ananias went away, and did enter into the house, and having put upon him his hands, said, `Saul, brother, the Lord hath sent me -- Jesus who did appear to thee in the way in which thou wast coming -- that thou mayest see again, and mayest be filled with the Holy Spirit.' Acts 9:17
- and having received nourishment, was strengthened, and Saul was with the disciples in Damascus certain days, Acts 9:19
- and immediately in the synagogues he was preaching the Christ, that he is the Son of God. Acts 9:20
- And all those hearing were amazed, and said, `Is not this he who laid waist in Jerusalem those calling on this name, and hither to this intent had come, that he might bring them bound to the chief priests?' Acts 9:21
- And Saul was still more strengthened, and he was confounding the Jews dwelling in Damascus, proving that this is the Christ. Acts 9:22
- And when many days were fulfilled, the Jews took counsel together to kill him, Acts 9:23
- and their counsel against him was known to Saul; they were also watching the gates both day and night, that they may kill him, Acts 9:24
- and the disciples having taken him, by night did let him down by the wall, letting down in a basket. Acts 9:25
- And Saul, having come to Jerusalem, did try to join himself to the disciples, and they were all afraid of him, not believing that he is a disciple, Acts 9:26
- and Barnabas having taken him, brought him unto the apostles, and did declare to them how in the way he saw the Lord, and that he spake to him, and how in Damascus he was speaking boldly in the name of Jesus. Acts 9:27
- and speaking boldly in the name of the Lord Jesus, he was both speaking and disputing with the Hellenists, and they were taking in hand to kill him, Acts 9:29
- and the brethren having known, brought him down to Cesarea, and sent him forth to Tarsus. Acts 9:30
- Then, indeed, the assemblies throughout all Judea, and Galilee, and Samaria, had peace, being built up, and, going on in the fear of the Lord, and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit, they were multiplied. Acts 9:31
- And it came to pass that Peter passing throughout all quarters, came down also unto the saints who were dwelling at Lydda, Acts 9:32
- and Peter said to him, `Aeneas, heal thee doth Jesus the Christ; arise and spread for thyself;' and immediately he rose, Acts 9:34
- and all those dwelling at Lydda, and Saron saw him, and did turn to the Lord. Acts 9:35
- and Lydda being nigh to Joppa, the disciples having heard that Peter is in that place, sent two men unto him, calling on him not to delay to come through unto them. Acts 9:38
- And Peter having risen, went with them, whom having come, they brought into the upper chamber, and all the widows stood by him weeping, and shewing coats and garments, as many as Dorcas was making while she was with them. Acts 9:39
- And Peter having put them all forth without, having bowed the knees, did pray, and having turned unto the body said, `Tabitha, arise;' and she opened her eyes, and having seen Peter, she sat up, Acts 9:40
- and having given her his hand, he lifted her up, and having called the saints and the widows, he presented her alive, Acts 9:41
- and it became known throughout all Joppa, and many believed on the Lord; Acts 9:42
- pious, and fearing God with all his house, doing also many kind acts to the people, and beseeching God always, Acts 10:2
- he saw in a vision manifestly, as it were the ninth hour of the day, a messenger of God coming in unto him, and saying to him, `Cornelius;' Acts 10:3
- this one doth lodge with a certain Simon a tanner, whose house is by the sea; this one shall speak to thee what it behoveth thee to do.' Acts 10:6
- And when the messenger who is speaking to Cornelius went away, having called two of his domestics, and a pious soldier of those waiting on him continually, Acts 10:7
- And on the morrow, as these are proceeding on the way, and are drawing nigh to the city, Peter went up upon the house-top to pray, about the sixth hour, Acts 10:9
- and he doth behold the heaven opened, and descending unto him a certain vessel, as a great sheet, bound at the four corners, and let down upon the earth, Acts 10:11
- in which were all the four-footed beasts of the earth, and the wild beasts, and the creeping things, and the fowls of the heaven, Acts 10:12
- and this was done thrice, and again was the vessel received up to the heaven. Acts 10:16
- And as Peter was perplexed in himself what the vision that he saw might be, then, lo, the men who have been sent from Cornelius, having made inquiry for the house of Simon, stood at the gate, Acts 10:17
- And Peter thinking about the vision, the Spirit said to him, `Lo, three men do seek thee; Acts 10:19
- and Peter having come down unto the men who have been sent from Cornelius unto him, said, `Lo, I am he whom ye seek, what is the cause for which ye are present?' Acts 10:21
- And they said, `Cornelius, a centurion, a man righteous and fearing God, well testified to, also, by all the nation of the Jews, was divinely warned by a holy messenger to send for thee, to his house, and to hear sayings from thee.' Acts 10:22
- Having called them in, therefore, he lodged them, and on the morrow Peter went forth with them, and certain of the brethren from Joppa went with him, Acts 10:23
- and on the morrow they did enter into Cesarea; and Cornelius was waiting for them, having called together his kindred and near friends, Acts 10:24
- And Cornelius said, `Four days ago till this hour, I was fasting, and at the ninth hour praying in my house, and, lo, a man stood before me in bright clothing, Acts 10:30
- send, therefore, to Joppa, and call for Simon, who is surnamed Peter; this one doth lodge in the house of Simon a tanner, by the sea, who having come, shall speak to thee; Acts 10:32
- the word that he sent to the sons of Israel, proclaiming good news -- peace through Jesus Christ (this one is Lord of all,) Acts 10:36
- ye -- ye have known; -- the word that came throughout all Judea, having begun from Galilee, after the baptism that John preached; Acts 10:37
- Jesus who is from Nazareth -- how God did anoint him with the Holy Spirit and power; who went through, doing good, and healing all those oppressed by the devil, because God was with him; Acts 10:38
- and we -- we are witnesses of all things that he did, both in the country of the Jews, and in Jerusalem, -- whom they did slay, having hanged upon a tree. Acts 10:39
- `This one God did raise up the third day, and gave him to become manifest, Acts 10:40
- not to all the people, but to witnesses, to those having been chosen before by God -- to us who did eat with him, and did drink with him, after his rising out of the dead; Acts 10:41
- and he commanded us to preach to the people, and to testify fully that it is he who hath been ordained by God judge of living and dead -- Acts 10:42
- to this one do all the prophets testify, that through his name every one that is believing in him doth receive remission of sins.' Acts 10:43
- While Peter is yet speaking these sayings, the Holy spirit fell upon all those hearing the word, Acts 10:44
- and those of the circumcision believing were astonished -- as many as came with Peter -- because also upon the nations the gift of the Holy Spirit hath been poured out, Acts 10:45
- `The water is any one able to forbid, that these may not be baptized, who the Holy Spirit did receive -- even as also we?' Acts 10:47
- he commanded them also to be baptized in the name of the Lord; then they besought him to remain certain days. Acts 10:48
- And the apostles and the brethren who are in Judea heard that also the nations did receive the word of God, Acts 11:1
- and when Peter came up to Jerusalem, those of the circumcision were contending with him, Acts 11:2
- `I was in the city of Joppa praying, and I saw in a trance a vision, a certain vessel coming down, as a great sheet by four corners being let down out of the heaven, and it came unto me; Acts 11:5
- at which having looked stedfastly, I was considering, and I saw the four-footed beasts of the earth, and the wild beasts, and the creeping things, and the fowls of heaven; Acts 11:6
- and a voice did answer me a second time out of the heaven, What God did cleanse, thou -- declare not thou common. Acts 11:9
- `And this happened thrice, and again was all drawn up to the heaven, Acts 11:10
- and, lo, immediately, three men stood at the house in which I was, having been sent from Cesarea unto me, Acts 11:11
- and the Spirit said to me to go with them, nothing doubting, and these six brethren also went with me, and we did enter into the house of the man, Acts 11:12
- he declared also to us how he saw the messenger in his house standing, and saying to him, Send men to Joppa, and call for Simon, who is surnamed Peter, Acts 11:13
- `And in my beginning to speak, the Holy Spirit did fall upon them, even as also upon us in the beginning, Acts 11:15
- and I remembered the saying of the Lord, how he said, John indeed did baptize with water, and ye shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit; Acts 11:16
- if then the equal gift God did give to them as also to us, having believed upon the Lord Jesus Christ, I -- how was I able to withstand God?' Acts 11:17
- And they, having heard these things, were silent, and were glorifying God, saying, `Then, indeed, also to the nations did God give the reformation to life.' Acts 11:18
- Those, indeed, therefore, having been scattered abroad, from the tribulation that came after Stephen, went through unto Phenice, and Cyprus, and Antioch, speaking the word to none except to Jews only; Acts 11:19
- and there were certain of them men of Cyprus and Cyrene, who having entered into Antioch, were speaking unto the Hellenists, proclaiming good news -- the Lord Jesus, Acts 11:20
- and the hand of the Lord was with them, a great number also, having believed, did turn unto the Lord. Acts 11:21
- And the account was heard in the ears of the assembly that is in Jerusalem concerning them, and they sent forth Barnabas to go through unto Antioch, Acts 11:22
- who, having come, and having seen the grace of God, was glad, and was exhorting all with purpose of heart to cleave to the Lord, Acts 11:23
- because he was a good man, and full of the Holy Spirit, and of faith, and a great multitude was added to the Lord. Acts 11:24
- and having found him, he brought him to Antioch, and it came to pass that they a whole year did assemble together in the assembly, and taught a great multitude, the disciples also were divinely called first in Antioch Christians. Acts 11:26
- and one of them, by name Agabus, having stood up, did signify through the Spirit a great dearth is about to be throughout all the world -- which also came to pass in the time of Claudius Caesar -- Acts 11:28
- and the disciples, according as any one was prospering, determined each of them to send for ministration to the brethren dwelling in Judea, Acts 11:29
- which also they did, having sent unto the elders by the hand of Barnabas and Saul. Acts 11:30
- And about that time, Herod the king put forth his hands, to do evil to certain of those of the assembly, Acts 12:1
- and he killed James, the brother of John, with the sword, Acts 12:2
- and having seen that it is pleasing to the Jews, he added to lay hold of Peter also -- and they were the days of the unleavened food -- Acts 12:3
- whom also having seized, he did put in prison, having delivered him to four quaternions of soldiers to guard him, intending after the passover to bring him forth to the people. Acts 12:4
- Peter, therefore, indeed, was kept in the prison, and fervent prayer was being made by the assembly unto God for him, Acts 12:5
- and when Herod was about to bring him forth, the same night was Peter sleeping between two soldiers, having been bound with two chains, guards also before the door were keeping the prison, Acts 12:6
- and lo, a messenger of the Lord stood by, and a light shone in the buildings, and having smitten Peter on the side, he raised him up, saying, `Rise in haste,' and his chains fell from off his hands. Acts 12:7
- The messenger also said to him, `Gird thyself, and bind on thy sandals;' and he did so; and he saith to him, `Put thy garment round and be following me;' Acts 12:8
- and having gone forth, he was following him, and he knew not that it is true that which is done through the messenger, and was thinking he saw a vision, Acts 12:9
- and having passed through a first ward, and a second, they came unto the iron gate that is leading to the city, which of its own accord did open to them, and having gone forth, they went on through one street, and immediately the messenger departed from him. Acts 12:10
- And Peter having come to himself, said, `Now I have known of a truth that the Lord did sent forth His messenger, and did deliver me out of the hand of Herod, and all the expectation of the people of the Jews;' Acts 12:11
- also, having considered, he came unto the house of Mary, the mother of John, who is surnamed Mark, where there were many thronged together and praying. Acts 12:12
- And Peter having knocked at the door of the porch, there came a damsel to hearken, by name Rhoda, Acts 12:13
- and having known the voice of Peter, from the joy she did not open the porch, but having run in, told of the standing of Peter before the porch, Acts 12:14
- and having beckoned to them with the hand to be silent, he declared to them how the Lord brought him out of the prison, and he said, `Declare to James and to the brethren these things;' and having gone forth, he went on to another place. Acts 12:17
- And day having come, there was not a little stir among the soldiers what then was become of Peter, Acts 12:18
- and Herod having sought for him, and not having found, having examined the guards, did command them to be led away to punishment, and having gone down from Judea to Cesarea, he was abiding there. Acts 12:19
- And Herod was highly displeased with the Tyrians and Sidonians, and with one accord they came unto him, and having made a friend of Blastus, who is over the bed-chambers of the king, they were asking peace, because of their country being nourished from the king's; Acts 12:20
- and on a set day, Herod having arrayed himself in kingly apparel, and having sat down upon the tribunal, was making an oration unto them, Acts 12:21
- and the populace were shouting, `The voice of a god, and not of a man;' Acts 12:22
- and presently there smote him a messenger of the Lord, because he did not give the glory to God, and having been eaten of worms, he expired. Acts 12:23
- And the word of God did grow and did multiply, Acts 12:24
- and Barnabas and Saul did turn back out of Jerusalem, having fulfilled the ministration, having taken also with them John, who was surnamed Mark. Acts 12:25
- And there were certain in Antioch, in the assembly there, prophets and teachers; both Barnabas, and Simeon who is called Niger, and Lucius the Cyrenian, Manaen also -- Herod the tetrarch's foster-brother -- and Saul; Acts 13:1
- and in their ministering to the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, `Separate ye to me both Barnabas and Saul to the work to which I have called them,' Acts 13:2
- then having fasted, and having prayed, and having laid the hands on them, they sent them away. Acts 13:3
- These, indeed, then, having been sent forth by the Holy Spirit, went down to Seleucia, thence also they sailed to Cyprus, Acts 13:4
- and having come unto Salamis, they declared the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews, and they had also John as a ministrant; Acts 13:5
- and having gone through the island unto Paphos, they found a certain magian, a false prophet, a Jew, whose name is Bar-Jesus; Acts 13:6
- who was with the proconsul Sergius Paulus, an intelligent man; this one having called for Barnabas and Saul, did desire to hear the word of God, Acts 13:7
- and there withstood them Elymas the magian -- for so is his name interpreted -- seeking to pervert the proconsul from the faith. Acts 13:8
- And Saul -- who also is Paul -- having been filled with the Holy Spirit, and having looked stedfastly on him, Acts 13:9
- said, `O full of all guile, and all profligacy, son of a devil, enemy of all righteousness, wilt thou not cease perverting the right ways of the Lord? Acts 13:10
- and now, lo, a hand of the Lord is upon thee, and thou shalt be blind, not seeing the sun for a season;' and presently there fell upon him a mist and darkness, and he, going about, was seeking some to lead him by the hand; Acts 13:11
- then the proconsul having seen what hath come to pass, did believe, being astonished at the teaching of the Lord. Acts 13:12
- and they having gone through from Perga, came to Antioch of Pisidia, and having gone into the synagogue on the sabbath-day, they sat down, Acts 13:14
- and after the reading of the law and of the prophets, the chief men of the synagogue sent unto them, saying, `Men, brethren, if there be a word in you of exhortation unto the people -- say on.' Acts 13:15
- And Paul having risen, and having beckoned with the hand, said, `Men, Israelites, and those fearing God, hearken: Acts 13:16
- the God of this people Israel did choose our fathers, and the people He did exalt in their sojourning in the land of Egypt, and with an high arm did He bring them out of it; Acts 13:17
- and about a period of forty years He did suffer their manners in the wilderness, Acts 13:18
- and having destroyed seven nations in the land of Canaan, He did divide by lot to them their land. Acts 13:19
- `And after these things, about four hundred and fifty years, He gave judges -- till Samuel the prophet; Acts 13:20
- and thereafter they asked for a king, and God did give to them Saul, son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, for forty years; Acts 13:21
- and having removed him, He did raise up to them David for king, to whom also having testified, he said, I found David, the son of Jesse, a man according to My heart, who shall do all My will. Acts 13:22
- John having first preached, before his coming, a baptism of reformation to all the people of Israel; Acts 13:24
- and as John was fulfilling the course, he said, Whom me do ye suppose to be? I am not he, but, lo, he doth come after me, of whom I am not worthy to loose the sandal of his feet. Acts 13:25
- `Men, brethren, sons of the race of Abraham, and those among you fearing God, to you was the word of this salvation sent, Acts 13:26
- for those dwelling in Jerusalem, and their chiefs, this one not having known, also the voices of the prophets, which every sabbath are being read -- having judged him -- did fulfill, Acts 13:27
- and when they did complete all the things written about him, having taken him down from the tree, they laid him in a tomb; Acts 13:29
- and God did raise him out of the dead, Acts 13:30
- and he was seen for many days of those who did come up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are his witnesses unto the people. Acts 13:31
- `And we to you do proclaim good news -- that the promise made unto the fathers, Acts 13:32
- God hath in full completed this to us their children, having raised up Jesus, as also in the second Psalm it hath been written, My Son thou art -- I to-day have begotten thee. Acts 13:33
- `And that He did raise him up out of the dead, no more to return to corruption, he hath said thus -- I will give to you the faithful kindnesses of David; Acts 13:34
- for David, indeed, his own generation having served by the will of God, did fall asleep, and was added unto his fathers, and saw corruption, Acts 13:36
- `Let it therefore be known to you, men, brethren, that through this one to you is the forgiveness of sins declared, Acts 13:38
- and from all things from which ye were not able in the law of Moses to be declared righteous, in this one every one who is believing is declared righteous; Acts 13:39
- see, therefore, it may not come upon you that hath been spoken in the prophets: Acts 13:40
- And having gone forth out of the synagogue of the Jews, the nations were calling upon them that on the next sabbath these sayings may be spoken to them, Acts 13:42
- and the synagogue having been dismissed, many of the Jews and of the devout proselytes did follow Paul and Barnabas, who, speaking to them, were persuading them to remain in the grace of God. Acts 13:43
- And on the coming sabbath, almost all the city was gathered together to hear the word of God, Acts 13:44
- and the Jews having seen the multitudes, were filled with zeal, and did contradict the things spoken by Paul -- contradicting and speaking evil. Acts 13:45
- And speaking boldly, Paul and Barnabas said, `To you it was necessary that first the word of God be spoken, and seeing ye do thrust it away, and do not judge yourselves worthy of the life age-during, lo, we do turn to the nations; Acts 13:46
- for so hath the Lord commanded us: I have set thee for a light of nations -- for thy being for salvation unto the end of the earth.' Acts 13:47
- And the nations hearing were glad, and were glorifying the word of the Lord, and did believe -- as many as were appointed to life age-during; Acts 13:48
- and the word of the Lord was spread abroad through all the region. Acts 13:49
- And the Jews stirred up the devout and honourable women, and the first men of the city, and did raise persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and did put them out from their borders; Acts 13:50
- and they having shaken off the dust of their feet against them, came to Iconium, Acts 13:51
- and the disciples were filled with joy and the Holy Spirit. Acts 13:52
- And it came to pass in Iconium, that they did enter together into the synagogue of the Jews, and spake, so that there believed both of Jews and Greeks a great multitude; Acts 14:1
- and the unbelieving Jews did stir up and made evil the souls of the nations against the brethren; Acts 14:2
- long time, indeed, therefore, did they abide speaking boldly in the Lord, who is testifying to the word of His grace, and granting signs and wonders to come to pass through their hands. Acts 14:3
- And the multitude of the city was divided, and some were with the Jews, and some with the apostles, Acts 14:4
- and when there was a purpose both of the nations and of the Jews with their rulers to use them despitefully, and to stone them, Acts 14:5
- they having become aware, did flee to the cities of Lycaonia, Lystra, and Derbe, and to the region round about, Acts 14:6
- And a certain man in Lystra, impotent in the feet, was sitting, being lame from the womb of his mother -- who never had walked, Acts 14:8
- and the multitudes having seen what Paul did, did lift up their voice, in the speech of Lycaonia, saying, `The gods, having become like men, did come down unto us;' Acts 14:11
- they were calling also Barnabas Zeus, and Paul Hermes, since he was the leader in speaking. Acts 14:12
- And the priest of the Zeus that is before their city, oxen and garlands unto the porches having brought, with the multitudes did wish to sacrifice, Acts 14:13
- and having heard, the apostles Barnabas and Paul, having rent their garments, did spring into the multitude, crying Acts 14:14
- and saying, `Men, why these things do ye? and we are men like-affected with you, proclaiming good news to you, from these vanities to turn unto the living God, who made the heaven, and the earth, and the sea, and all the things in them; Acts 14:15
- who in the past generations did suffer all the nations to go on in their ways, Acts 14:16
- and these things saying, scarcely did they restrain the multitudes from sacrificing to them. Acts 14:18
- And there came thither, from Antioch and Iconium, Jews, and they having persuaded the multitudes, and having stoned Paul, drew him outside of the city, having supposed him to be dead; Acts 14:19
- and the disciples having surrounded him, having risen he entered into the city, and on the morrow he went forth with Barnabas to Derbe. Acts 14:20
- confirming the souls of the disciples, exhorting to remain in the faith, and that through many tribulations it behoveth us to enter into the reign of God, Acts 14:22
- and having appointed to them by vote elders in every assembly, having prayed with fastings, they commended them to the Lord in whom they had believed. Acts 14:23
- and having spoken in Perga the word, they went down to Attalia, Acts 14:25
- and thence did sail to Antioch, whence they had been given by the grace of God for the work that they fulfilled; Acts 14:26
- and having come and gathered together the assembly, they declared as many things as God did with them, and that He did open to the nations a door of faith; Acts 14:27
- and they abode there not a little time with the disciples. Acts 14:28
- And certain having come down from Judea, were teaching the brethren -- `If ye be not circumcised after the custom of Moses, ye are not able to be saved;' Acts 15:1
- there having been, therefore, not a little dissension and disputation to Paul and Barnabas with them, they arranged for Paul and Barnabas, and certain others of them, to go up unto the apostles and elders to Jerusalem about this question, Acts 15:2
- they indeed, then, having been sent forward by the assembly, were passing through Phenice and Samaria, declaring the conversion of the nations, and they were causing great joy to all the brethren. Acts 15:3
- And having come to Jerusalem, they were received by the assembly, and the apostles, and the elders, they declared also as many things as God did with them; Acts 15:4
- and there rose up certain of those of the sect of the Pharisees who believed, saying -- `It behoveth to circumcise them, to command them also to keep the law of Moses.' Acts 15:5
- And there were gathered together the apostles and the elders, to see about this matter, Acts 15:6
- and there having been much disputing, Peter having risen up said unto them, `Men, brethren, ye know that from former days, God among us did make choice, through my mouth, for the nations to hear the word of the good news, and to believe; Acts 15:7
- and the heart-knowing God did bare them testimony, having given to them the Holy Spirit, even as also to us, Acts 15:8
- and did put no difference also between us and them, by the faith having purified their hearts; Acts 15:9
- now, therefore, why do ye tempt God, to put a yoke upon the neck of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear? Acts 15:10
- but, through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, we believe to be saved, even as also they.' Acts 15:11
- And all the multitude did keep silence, and were hearkening to Barnabas and Paul, declaring as many signs and wonders as God did among the nations through them; Acts 15:12
- Simeon did declare how at first God did look after to take out of the nations a people for His name, Acts 15:14
- and to this agree the words of the prophets, as it hath been written: Acts 15:15
- After these things I will turn back, and I will build again the tabernacle of David, that is fallen down, and its ruins I will build again, and will set it upright -- Acts 15:16
- that the residue of men may seek after the Lord, and all the nations, upon whom My name hath been called, saith the Lord, who is doing all these things. Acts 15:17
- `Known from the ages to God are all His works; Acts 15:18
- wherefore I judge: not to trouble those who from the nations do turn back to God, Acts 15:19
- but to write to them to abstain from the pollutions of the idols, and the whoredom, and the strangled thing; and the blood; Acts 15:20
- for Moses from former generations in every city hath those preaching him -- in the synagogues every sabbath being read.' Acts 15:21
- Then it seemed good to the apostles and the elders, with the whole assembly, chosen men out of themselves to send to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas -- Judas surnamed Barsabas, and Silas, leading men among the brethren -- Acts 15:22
- having written through their hand thus: `The apostles, and the elders, and the brethren, to those in Antioch, and Syria, and Cilicia, brethren, who are of the nations, greeting; Acts 15:23
- seeing we have heard that certain having gone forth from us did trouble you with words, subverting your souls, saying to be circumcised and to keep the law, to whom we did give no charge, Acts 15:24
- men who have given up their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ -- Acts 15:26
- we have sent, therefore, Judas and Silas, and they by word are telling the same things. Acts 15:27
- `For it seemed good to the Holy Spirit, and to us, no more burden to lay upon you, except these necessary things: Acts 15:28
- They then, indeed, having been let go, went to Antioch, and having brought the multitude together, did deliver the epistle, Acts 15:30
- and they having read, did rejoice for the consolation; Acts 15:31
- Judas also and Silas, being themselves also prophets, through much discourse did exhort the brethren, and confirm, Acts 15:32
- and having passed some time, they were let go with peace from the brethren unto the apostles; Acts 15:33
- And Paul and Barnabas continued in Antioch, teaching and proclaiming good news -- with many others also -- the word of the Lord; Acts 15:35
- and after certain days, Paul said unto Barnabas, `Having turned back again, we may look after our brethren, in every city in which we have preached the word of the Lord -- how they are.' Acts 15:36
- and Paul was not thinking it good to take him with them who withdrew from them from Pamphylia, and did not go with them to the work; Acts 15:38
- and Paul having chosen Silas, went forth, having been given up to the grace of God by the brethren; Acts 15:40
- and he went through Syria and Cilicia, confirming the assemblies. Acts 15:41
- who was well testified to by the brethren in Lystra and Iconium; Acts 16:2
- this one did Paul wish to go forth with him, and having taken him, he circumcised him, because of the Jews who are in those places, for they all knew his father -- that he was a Greek. Acts 16:3
- And as they were going on through the cities, they were delivering to them the decrees to keep, that have been judged by the apostles and the elders who are in Jerusalem, Acts 16:4
- then, indeed, were the assemblies established in the faith, and were abounding in number every day; Acts 16:5
- and having gone through Phrygia and the region of Galatia, having been forbidden by the Holy Spirit to speak the word in Asia, Acts 16:6
- having gone toward Mysia, they were trying to go on toward Bithynia, and the Spirit did not suffer them, Acts 16:7
- And a vision through the night appeared to Paul -- a certain man of Macedonia was standing, calling upon him, and saying, `Having passed through to Macedonia, help us;' -- Acts 16:9
- and when he saw the vision, immediately we endeavoured to go forth to Macedonia, assuredly gathering that the Lord hath called us to preach good news to them, Acts 16:10
- having set sail, therefore, from Troas, we came with a straight course to Samothracia, on the morrow also to Neapolis, Acts 16:11
- thence also to Philippi, which is a principal city of the part of Macedonia -- a colony. And we were in this city abiding certain days, Acts 16:12
- on the sabbath-day also we went forth outside of the city, by a river, where there used to be prayer, and having sat down, we were speaking to the women who came together, Acts 16:13
- and a certain woman, by name Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, worshipping God, was hearing, whose heart the Lord did open to attend to the things spoken by Paul; Acts 16:14
- and when she was baptized, and her household, she did call upon us, saying, `If ye have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, having entered into my house, remain;' and she constrained us. Acts 16:15
- she having followed Paul and us, was crying, saying, `These men are servants of the Most High God, who declare to us a way of salvation;' Acts 16:17
- and this she was doing for many days, but Paul having been grieved, and having turned, said to the spirit, `I command thee, in the name of Jesus Christ, to come forth from her;' and it came forth the same hour. Acts 16:18
- And her masters having seen that the hope of their employment was gone, having caught Paul and Silas, drew them to the market-place, unto the rulers, Acts 16:19
- and having brought them to the magistrates, they said, `These men do exceedingly trouble our city, being Jews; Acts 16:20
- And the multitude rose up together against them, and the magistrates having torn their garments from them, were commanding to beat them with rods, Acts 16:22
- many blows also having laid upon them, they cast them to prison, having given charge to the jailor to keep them safely, Acts 16:23
- who such a charge having received, did put them to the inner prison, and their feet made fast in the stocks. Acts 16:24
- And at midnight Paul and Silas praying, were singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were hearing them, Acts 16:25
- and suddenly a great earthquake came, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken, opened also presently were all the doors, and of all -- the bands were loosed; Acts 16:26
- and the jailor having come out of sleep, and having seen the doors of the prison open, having drawn a sword, was about to kill himself, supposing the prisoners to be fled, Acts 16:27
- and they said, `Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved -- thou and thy house;' Acts 16:31
- and they spake to him the word of the Lord, and to all those in his household; Acts 16:32
- and having taken them, in that hour of the night, he did bathe them from the blows, and was baptized, himself and all his presently, Acts 16:33
- having brought them also into his house, he set food before them, and was glad with all the household, he having believed in God. Acts 16:34
- And day having come, the magistrates sent the rod-bearers, saying, `Let those men go;' Acts 16:35
- and the jailor told these words unto Paul -- `The magistrates have sent, that ye may be let go; now, therefore, having gone forth go on in peace;' Acts 16:36
- And the rod-bearers told to the magistrates these sayings, and they were afraid, having heard that they are Romans, Acts 16:38
- and having come, they besought them, and having brought them forth, they were asking them to go forth from the city; Acts 16:39
- and they, having gone forth out of the prison, entered into the house of Lydia, and having seen the brethren, they comforted them, and went forth. Acts 16:40
- And having passed through Amphipolis, and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where was the synagogue of the Jews, Acts 17:1
- and according to the custom of Paul, he went in unto them, and for three sabbaths he was reasoning with them from the Writings, Acts 17:2
- opening and alleging, `That the Christ it behoved to suffer, and to rise again out of the dead, and that this is the Christ -- Jesus whom I proclaim to you.' Acts 17:3
- And certain of them did believe, and attached themselves to Paul and to Silas, also of the worshipping Greeks a great multitude, of the principal women also not a few. Acts 17:4
- And the unbelieving Jews, having been moved with envy, and having taken to them of the loungers certain evil men, and having made a crowd, were setting the city in an uproar; having assailed also the house of Jason, they were seeking them to bring them to the populace, Acts 17:5
- and not having found them, they drew Jason and certain brethren unto the city rulers, calling aloud -- `These, having put the world in commotion, are also here present, Acts 17:6
- whom Jason hath received; and these all do contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying another to be king -- Jesus.' Acts 17:7
- And they troubled the multitude and the city rulers, hearing these things, Acts 17:8
- and having taking security from Jason and the rest, they let them go. Acts 17:9
- And the brethren immediately, through the night, sent forth both Paul and Silas to Berea, who having come, went to the synagogue of the Jews; Acts 17:10
- and these were more noble than those in Thessalonica, they received the word with all readiness of mind, every day examining the Writings whether those things were so; Acts 17:11
- many, indeed, therefore, of them did believe, and of the honourable Greek women and men not a few. Acts 17:12
- And when the Jews from Thessalonica knew that also in Berea was the word of God declared by Paul, they came thither also, agitating the multitudes; Acts 17:13
- and then immediately the brethren sent forth Paul, to go on as it were to the sea, but both Silas and Timothy were remaining there. Acts 17:14
- and Paul waiting for them in Athens, his spirit was stirred in him, beholding the city wholly given to idolatry, Acts 17:16
- therefore, indeed, he was reasoning in the synagogue with the Jews, and with the worshipping persons, and in the market-place every day with those who met with him. Acts 17:17
- And certain of the Epicurean and of the Stoic philosophers, were meeting together to see him, and some were saying, `What would this seed picker wish to say?' and others, `Of strange demons he doth seem to be an announcer;' because Jesus and the rising again he did proclaim to them as good news, Acts 17:18
- having also taken him, unto the Areopagus they brought him, saying, `Are we able to know what is this new teaching that is spoken by thee, Acts 17:19
- and all Athenians, and the strangers sojourning, for nothing else were at leisure but to say something, and to hear some newer thing. Acts 17:21
- And Paul, having stood in the midst of the Areopagus, said, `Men, Athenians, in all things I perceive you as over-religious; Acts 17:22
- `God, who did make the world, and all things in it, this One, of heaven and of earth being Lord, in temples made with hands doth not dwell, Acts 17:24
- neither by the hands of men is He served -- needing anything, He giving to all life, and breath, and all things; Acts 17:25
- He made also of one blood every nation of men, to dwell upon all the face of the earth -- having ordained times before appointed, and the bounds of their dwellings -- Acts 17:26
- to seek the Lord, if perhaps they did feel after Him and find, -- though, indeed, He is not far from each one of us, Acts 17:27
- `Being, therefore, offspring of God, we ought not to think the Godhead to be like to gold, or silver, or stone, graving of art and device of man; Acts 17:29
- the times, indeed, therefore, of the ignorance God having overlooked, doth now command all men everywhere to reform, Acts 17:30
- because He did set a day in which He is about to judge the world in righteousness, by a man whom He did ordain, having given assurance to all, having raised him out of the dead.' Acts 17:31
- And having heard of a rising again of the dead, some, indeed, were mocking, but others said, `We will hear thee again concerning this;' Acts 17:32
- and so Paul went forth from the midst of them, Acts 17:33
- and certain men having cleaved to him, did believe, among whom is also Dionysius the Areopagite, and a woman, by name Damaris, and others with them. Acts 17:34
- and having found a certain Jew, by name Aquilas, of Pontus by birth, lately come from Italy, and Priscilla his wife -- because of Claudius having directed all the Jews to depart out of Rome -- he came to them, Acts 18:2
- and because of being of the same craft, he did remain with them, and was working, for they were tent-makers as to craft; Acts 18:3
- and he was reasoning in the synagogue every sabbath, persuading both Jews and Greeks. Acts 18:4
- And when both Silas and Timotheus came down from Macedonia, Paul was pressed in the Spirit, testifying fully to the Jews Jesus the Christ; Acts 18:5
- and on their resisting and speaking evil, having shaken his garments, he said unto them, `Your blood is upon your head -- I am clean; henceforth to the nations I will go on.' Acts 18:6
- And having departed thence, he went to the house of a certain one, by name Justus, a worshipper of God, whose house was adjoining the synagogue, Acts 18:7
- and Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue did believe in the Lord with all his house, and many of the Corinthians hearing were believing, and they were being baptized. Acts 18:8
- And the Lord said through a vision in the night to Paul, `Be not afraid, but be speaking and thou mayest be not silent; Acts 18:9
- and he continued a year and six months, teaching among them the word of God. Acts 18:11
- And Gallio being proconsul of Achaia, the Jews made a rush with one accord upon Paul, and brought him unto the tribunal, Acts 18:12
- saying -- `Against the law this one doth persuade men to worship God;' Acts 18:13
- and Paul being about to open his mouth, Gallio said unto the Jews, `If, indeed, then, it was anything unrighteous, or an act of wicked profligacy, O Jews, according to reason I had borne with you, Acts 18:14
- and he drave them from the tribunal; Acts 18:16
- and all the Greeks having taken Sosthenes, the chief man of the synagogue, were beating him before the tribunal, and not even for these things was Gallio caring. Acts 18:17
- And Paul having remained yet a good many days, having taken leave of the brethren, was sailing to Syria -- and with him are Priscilla and Aquilas -- having shorn his head in Cenchera, for he had a vow; Acts 18:18
- and he came down to Ephesus, and did leave them there, and he himself having entered into the synagogue did reason with the Jews: Acts 18:19
- but took leave of them, saying, `It behoveth me by all means the coming feast to keep at Jerusalem, and again I will return unto you -- God willing.' And he sailed from Ephesus, Acts 18:21
- and having come down to Cesarea, having gone up, and having saluted the assembly, he went down to Antioch. Acts 18:22
- And having made some stay he went forth, going through in order the region of Galatia and Phrygia, strengthening all the disciples. Acts 18:23
- And a certain Jew, Apollos by name, an Alexandrian by birth, a man of eloquence, being mighty in the Writings, came to Ephesus, Acts 18:24
- this one was instructed in the way of the Lord, and being fervent in the Spirit, was speaking and teaching exactly the things about the Lord, knowing only the baptism of John; Acts 18:25
- this one also began to speak boldly in the synagogue, and Aquilas and Priscilla having heard of him, took him to them, and did more exactly expound to him the way of God, Acts 18:26
- and he being minded to go through into Achaia, the brethren wrote to the disciples, having exhorted them to receive him, who having come, did help them much who have believed through the grace, Acts 18:27
- for powerfully the Jews he was refuting publicly, shewing through the Writings Jesus to be the Christ. Acts 18:28
- And it came to pass, in Apollos' being in Corinth, Paul having gone through the upper parts, came to Ephesus, and having found certain disciples, Acts 19:1
- he said unto them, `The Holy Spirit did ye receive -- having believed?' and they said unto him, `But we did not even hear whether there is any Holy Spirit;' Acts 19:2
- And Paul said, `John, indeed, did baptize with a baptism of reformation, saying to the people that in him who is coming after him they should believe -- that is, in the Christ -- Jesus;' Acts 19:4
- and they, having heard, were baptized -- to the name of the Lord Jesus, Acts 19:5
- and Paul having laid on them his hands, the Holy Spirit came upon them, they were speaking also with tongues, and prophesying, Acts 19:6
- and all the men were, as it were, twelve. Acts 19:7
- And having gone into the synagogue, he was speaking boldly for three months, reasoning and persuading the things concerning the reign of God, Acts 19:8
- and when certain were hardened and were disbelieving, speaking evil of the way before the multitude, having departed from them, he did separate the disciples, every day reasoning in the school of a certain Tyrannus. Acts 19:9
- And this happened for two years so that all those dwelling in Asia did hear the word of the Lord Jesus, both Jews and Greeks, Acts 19:10
- mighty works also -- not common -- was God working through the hands of Paul, Acts 19:11
- so that even unto the ailing were brought from his body handkerchiefs or aprons, and the sicknesses departed from them; the evil spirits also went forth from them. Acts 19:12
- And certain of the wandering exorcist Jews, took upon them to name over those having the evil spirits the name of the Lord Jesus, saying, `We adjure you by Jesus, whom Paul doth preach;' Acts 19:13
- and the evil spirit, answering, said, `Jesus I know, and Paul I am acquainted with; and ye -- who are ye?' Acts 19:15
- And the man, in whom was the evil spirit, leaping upon them, and having overcome them, prevailed against them, so that naked and wounded they did flee out of that house, Acts 19:16
- and this became known to all, both Jews and Greeks, who are dwelling at Ephesus, and fear fell upon them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was being magnified, Acts 19:17
- and many of those who had practised the curious arts, having brought the books together, were burning them before all; and they reckoned together the prices of them, and found it five myriads of silverlings; Acts 19:19
- so powerfully was the word of God increasing and prevailing. Acts 19:20
- And when these things were fulfilled, Paul purposed in the Spirit, having gone through Macedonia and Achaia, to go on to Jerusalem, saying -- `After my being there, it behoveth me also to see Rome;' Acts 19:21
- And there came, at that time, not a little stir about the way, Acts 19:23
- for a certain one, Demetrius by name, a worker in silver, making silver sanctuaries of Artemis, was bringing to the artificers gain not a little, Acts 19:24
- and not only is this department in danger for us of coming into disregard, but also, that of the great goddess Artemis the temple is to be reckoned for nothing, and also her greatness is about to be brought down, whom all Asia and the world doth worship.' Acts 19:27
- And they having heard, and having become full of wrath, were crying out, saying, `Great is the Artemis of the Ephesians!' Acts 19:28
- and the whole city was filled with confusion, they rushed also with one accord into the theatre, having caught Gaius and Aristarchus, Macedonians, Paul's fellow-travellers. Acts 19:29
- And on Paul's purposing to enter in unto the populace, the disciples were not suffering him, Acts 19:30
- and certain also of the chief men of Asia, being his friends, having sent unto him, were entreating him not to venture himself into the theatre. Acts 19:31
- Some indeed, therefore, were calling out one thing, and some another, for the assembly was confused, and the greater part did not know for what they were come together; Acts 19:32
- and out of the multitude they put forward Alexander -- the Jews thrusting him forward -- and Alexander having beckoned with the hand, wished to make defence to the populace, Acts 19:33
- and having known that he is a Jew, one voice came out of all, for about two hours, crying, `Great is the Artemis of the Ephesians!' Acts 19:34
- And the public clerk having quieted the multitude, saith, `Men, Ephesians, why, who is the man that doth not know that the city of the Ephesians is a devotee of the great goddess Artemis, and of that which fell down from Zeus? Acts 19:35
- if indeed, therefore, Demetrius and the artificers with him with any one have a matter, court days are held, and there are proconsuls; let them accuse one another. Acts 19:38
- `And if ye seek after anything concerning other matters, in the legal assembly it shall be determined; Acts 19:39
- and these things having said, he dismissed the assembly. Acts 19:41
- And after the ceasing of the tumult, Paul having called near the disciples, and having embraced them, went forth to go on to Macedonia; Acts 20:1
- having made also three months' stay -- a counsel of the Jews having been against him -- being about to set forth to Syria, there came to him a resolution of returning through Macedonia. Acts 20:3
- and we sailed, after the days of the unleavened food, from Philippi, and came unto them to Troas in five days, where we abode seven days. Acts 20:6
- And on the first of the week, the disciples having been gathered together to break bread, Paul was discoursing to them, about to depart on the morrow, he was also continuing the discourse till midnight, Acts 20:7
- and there were many lamps in the upper chamber where they were gathered together, Acts 20:8
- and there was sitting a certain youth, by name Eutychus, upon the window -- being borne down by a deep sleep, Paul discoursing long -- he having sunk down from the sleep, fell down from the third story, and was lifted up dead. Acts 20:9
- and they brought up the lad alive, and were comforted in no ordinary measure. Acts 20:12
- And we having gone before unto the ship, did sail to Assos, thence intending to take in Paul, for so he had arranged, intending himself to go on foot; Acts 20:13
- and thence having sailed, on the morrow we came over-against Chios, and the next day we arrived at Samos, and having remained in Trogyllium, on the following day we came to Miletus, Acts 20:15
- for Paul decided to sail past Ephesus, that there may not be to him a loss of time in Asia, for he hasted, if it were possible for him, on the day of the Pentecost to be at Jerusalem. Acts 20:16
- And from Miletus, having sent to Ephesus, he called for the elders of the assembly, Acts 20:17
- and when they were come unto him, he said to them, `Ye -- ye know from the first day in which I came to Asia, how, with you at all times I was; Acts 20:18
- serving the Lord with all humility, and many tears, and temptations, that befell me in the counsels of the Jews against me; Acts 20:19
- `And now, lo, I -- bound in the Spirit -- go on to Jerusalem, the things that shall befall me in it not knowing, Acts 20:22
- save that the Holy Spirit in every city doth testify fully, saying, that for me bonds and tribulations remain; Acts 20:23
- but I make account of none of these, neither do I count my life precious to myself, so that I finish my course with joy, and the ministration that I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify fully the good news of the grace of God. Acts 20:24
- `And now, lo, I have known that no more shall ye see my face, -- ye all among whom I did go preaching the reign of God; Acts 20:25
- wherefore I take you to witness this day, that I am clear from the blood of all, Acts 20:26
- for I did not keep back from declaring to you all the counsel of God. Acts 20:27
- `Take heed, therefore, to yourselves, and to all the flock, among which the Holy Spirit made you overseers, to feed the assembly of God that He acquired through His own blood, Acts 20:28
- for I have known this, that there shall enter in, after my departing, grievous wolves unto you, not sparing the flock, Acts 20:29
- and of your own selves there shall arise men, speaking perverse things, to draw away the disciples after them. Acts 20:30
- and now, I commend you, brethren, to God, and to the word of His grace, that is able to build up, and to give you an inheritance among all those sanctified. Acts 20:32
- `The silver or gold or garments of no one did I covet; Acts 20:33
- all things I did shew you, that, thus labouring, it behoveth us to partake with the ailing, to be mindful also of the words of the Lord Jesus, that he himself said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.' Acts 20:35
- and there came a great weeping to all, and having fallen upon the neck of Paul, they were kissing him, Acts 20:37
- sorrowing most of all for the word that he had said -- that they are about no more to see his face; and they were accompanying him to the ship. Acts 20:38
- And it came to pass, at our sailing, having been parted from them, having run direct, we came to Coos, and the succeeding day to Rhodes, and thence to Patara, Acts 21:1
- and having discovered Cyprus, and having left it on the left, we were sailing to Syria, and did land at Tyre, for there was the ship discharging the lading. Acts 21:3
- And having found out the disciples, we tarried there seven days, and they said to Paul, through the Spirit, not to go up to Jerusalem; Acts 21:4
- but when it came that we completed the days, having gone forth, we went on, all bringing us on the way, with women and children, unto the outside of the city, and having bowed the knees upon the shore, we prayed, Acts 21:5
- and having embraced one another, we embarked in the ship, and they returned to their own friends. Acts 21:6
- And we, having finished the course, from Tyre came down to Ptolemais, and having saluted the brethren, we remained one day with them; Acts 21:7
- and on the morrow Paul and his company having gone forth, we came to Cesarea, and having entered into the house of Philip the evangelist -- who is of the seven -- we remained with him, Acts 21:8
- and he having come unto us, and having taken up the girdle of Paul, having bound also his own hands and feet, said, `Thus saith the Holy Spirit, The man whose is this girdle -- so shall the Jews in Jerusalem bind, and they shall deliver him up to the hands of nations.' Acts 21:11
- and Paul answered, `What do ye -- weeping, and crushing mine heart? for I, not only to be bound, but also to die at Jerusalem, am ready, for the name of the Lord Jesus;' Acts 21:13
- and he not being persuaded, we were silent, saying, `The will of the Lord be done.' Acts 21:14
- and there went also of the disciples from Cesarea with us, bringing with them him with whom we may lodge, a certain Mnason of Cyprus, an aged disciple. Acts 21:16
- And we having come to Jerusalem, the brethren did gladly receive us, Acts 21:17
- and on the morrow Paul was going in with us unto James, all the elders also came, Acts 21:18
- and having saluted them, he was declaring, one by one, each of the things God did among the nations through his ministration, Acts 21:19
- and they having heard, were glorifying the Lord. They said also to him, `Thou seest, brother, how many myriads there are of Jews who have believed, and all are zealous of the law, Acts 21:20
- and they are instructed concerning thee, that apostacy from Moses thou dost teach to all Jews among the nations, saying -- Not to circumcise the children, nor after the customs to walk; Acts 21:21
- what then is it? certainly the multitude it behoveth to come together, for they will hear that thou hast come. Acts 21:22
- these having taken, be purified with them, and be at expence with them, that they may shave the head, and all may know that the things of which they have been instructed concerning thee are nothing, but thou dost walk -- thyself also -- the law keeping. Acts 21:24
- `And concerning those of the nations who have believed, we have written, having given judgment, that they observe no such thing, except to keep themselves both from idol-sacrifices, and blood, and a strangled thing, and whoredom.' Acts 21:25
- Then Paul, having taken the men, on the following day, with them having purified himself, was entering into the temple, announcing the fulfilment of the days of the purification, till the offering was offered for each one of them. Acts 21:26
- And, as the seven days were about to be fully ended, the Jews from Asia having beheld him in the temple, were stirring up all the multitude, and they laid hands upon him, Acts 21:27
- crying out, `Men, Israelites, help! this is the man who, against the people, and the law, and this place, all everywhere is teaching; and further, also, Greeks he brought into the temple, and hath defiled this holy place;' Acts 21:28
- for they had seen before Trophimus, the Ephesian, in the city with him, whom they were supposing that Paul brought into the temple. Acts 21:29
- All the city also was moved and there was a running together of the people, and having laid hold on Paul, they were drawing him out of the temple, and immediately were the doors shut, Acts 21:30
- and they seeking to kill him, a rumour came to the chief captain of the band that all Jerusalem hath been thrown into confusion, Acts 21:31
- who, at once, having taken soldiers and centurions, ran down upon them, and they having seen the chief captain and the soldiers, did leave off beating Paul. Acts 21:32
- Then the chief captain, having come nigh, took him, and commanded him to be bound with two chains, and was inquiring who he may be, and what it is he hath been doing, Acts 21:33
- and some were crying out one thing, and some another, among the multitude, and not being able to know the certainty because of the tumult, he commanded him to be carried to the castle, Acts 21:34
- and when he came upon the steps, it happened he was borne by the soldiers, because of the violence of the multitude, Acts 21:35
- for the crowd of the people was following after, crying, `Away with him.' Acts 21:36
- And Paul being about to be led into the castle, saith to the chief captain, `Is it permitted to me to say anything unto thee?' and he said, `Greek dost thou know? Acts 21:37
- art not thou, then, the Egyptian who before these days made an uprising, and did lead into the desert the four thousand men of the assassins?' Acts 21:38
- And Paul said, `I, indeed, am a man, a Jew, of Tarsus of Cilicia, of no mean city a citizen; and I beseech thee, suffer me to speak unto the people.' Acts 21:39
- And he having given him leave, Paul having stood upon the stairs, did beckon with the hand to the people, and there having been a great silence, he spake unto them in the Hebrew dialect, saying: Acts 21:40
- and they having heard that in the Hebrew dialect he was speaking to them, gave the more silence, and he saith, -- Acts 22:2
- `I, indeed, am a man, a Jew, having been born in Tarsus of Cilicia, and brought up in this city at the feet of Gamaliel, having been taught according to the exactitude of a law of the fathers, being zealous of God, as all ye are to-day. Acts 22:3
- as also the chief priest doth testify to me, and all the eldership; from whom also having received letters unto the brethren, to Damascus, I was going on, to bring also those there bound to Jerusalem that they might be punished, Acts 22:5
- and it came to pass, in my going on and coming nigh to Damascus, about noon, suddenly out of the heaven there shone a great light round about me, Acts 22:6
- I fell also to the ground, and I heard a voice saying to me, Saul, Saul, why me dost thou persecute? Acts 22:7
- `And I answered, Who art thou, Lord? and he said unto me, I am Jesus the Nazarene whom thou dost persecute -- Acts 22:8
- and they who are with me the light did see, and became afraid, and the voice they heard not of him who is speaking to me -- Acts 22:9
- and I said, What shall I do, Lord? and the Lord said unto me, Having risen, go on to Damascus, and there it shall be told thee concerning all things that have been appointed for thee to do. Acts 22:10
- `And when I did not see from the glory of that light, being led by the hand by those who are with me, I came to Damascus, Acts 22:11
- and a certain one, Ananias, a pious man according to the law, being testified to by all the Jews dwelling there, Acts 22:12
- having come unto me and stood by me, said to me, Saul, brother, look up; and I the same hour did look up to him; Acts 22:13
- and he said, The God of our fathers did choose thee beforehand to know His will, and to see the Righteous One, and to hear a voice out of his mouth, Acts 22:14
- and now, why tarriest thou? having risen, baptize thyself, and wash away thy sins, calling upon the name of the Lord. Acts 22:16
- `And it came to pass when I returned to Jerusalem, and while I was praying in the temple, I came into a trance, Acts 22:17
- and when the blood of thy witness Stephen was being poured forth, I also was standing by and assenting to his death, and keeping the garments of those putting him to death; Acts 22:20
- And they were hearing him unto this word, and they lifted up their voice, saying, `Away from the earth with such an one; for it is not fit for him to live.' Acts 22:22
- And they crying out and casting up their garments, and throwing dust into the air, Acts 22:23
- the chief captain commanded him to be brought into the castle, saying, `By scourges let him be examined;' that he might know for what cause they were crying so against him. Acts 22:24
- And as he was stretching him with the thongs, Paul said unto the centurion who was standing by, `A man, a Roman, uncondemned -- is it lawful to you to scourge;' Acts 22:25
- and the centurion having heard, having gone near to the chief captain, told, saying, `Take heed what thou art about to do, for this man is a Roman;' Acts 22:26
- and the chief captain having come near, said to him, `Tell me, art thou a Roman?' and he said, `Yes;' Acts 22:27
- and the chief captain answered, `I, with a great sum, did obtain this citizenship;' but Paul said, `But I have been even born so.' Acts 22:28
- Immediately, therefore, they departed from him who are about to examine him, and the chief captain also was afraid, having learned that he is a Roman, and because he had bound him, Acts 22:29
- and on the morrow, intending to know the certainty wherefore he is accused by the Jews, he did loose him from the bonds, and commanded the chief priests and all their sanhedrim to come, and having brought down Paul, he set him before them. Acts 22:30
- And Paul having earnestly beheld the sanhedrim, said, `Men, brethren, I in all good conscience have lived to God unto this day;' Acts 23:1
- and the chief priest Ananias commanded those standing by him to smite him on the mouth, Acts 23:2
- then Paul said unto him, `God is about to smite thee, thou whitewashed wall, and thou -- thou dost sit judging me according to the law, and, violating law, dost order me to be smitten!' Acts 23:3
- And those who stood by said, `The chief priest of God dost thou revile?' Acts 23:4
- and Paul said, `I did not know, brethren, that he is chief priest: for it hath been written, Of the ruler of thy people thou shalt not speak evil;' Acts 23:5
- and Paul having known that the one part are Sadducees, and the other Pharisees, cried out in the sanhedrim, `Men, brethren, I am a Pharisee -- son of a Pharisee -- concerning hope and rising again of dead men I am judged.' Acts 23:6
- And he having spoken this, there came a dissension of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees, and the crowd was divided, Acts 23:7
- And there came a great cry, and the scribes of the Pharisees' part having arisen, were striving, saying, `No evil do we find in this man; and if a spirit spake to him, or a messenger, we may not fight against God;' Acts 23:9
- and a great dissension having come, the chief captain having been afraid lest Paul may be pulled to pieces by them, commanded the soldiery, having gone down, to take him by force out of the midst of them, and to bring him to the castle. Acts 23:10
- And on the following night, the Lord having stood by him, said, `Take courage, Paul, for as thou didst fully testify the things concerning me at Jerusalem, so it behoveth thee also at Rome to testify.' Acts 23:11
- And day having come, certain of the Jews having made a concourse, did anathematize themselves, saying neither to eat nor to drink till they may kill Paul; Acts 23:12
- who having come near to the chief priests and to the elders said, `With an anathema we did anathematize ourselves -- to taste nothing till we have killed Paul; Acts 23:14
- now, therefore, ye, signify ye to the chief captain, with the sanhedrim, that to-morrow he may bring him down unto you, as being about to know more exactly the things concerning him; and we, before his coming nigh, are ready to put him to death.' Acts 23:15
- And the son of Paul's sister having heard of the lying in wait, having gone and entered into the castle, told Paul, Acts 23:16
- and Paul having called near one of the centurions, said, `This young man lead unto the chief captain, for he hath something to tell him.' Acts 23:17
- He indeed, then, having taken him, brought him unto the chief captain, and saith, `The prisoner Paul, having called me near, asked me this young man to bring unto thee, having something to say to thee.' Acts 23:18
- And the chief captain having taken him by the hand, and having withdrawn by themselves, inquired, `What is that which thou hast to tell me?' Acts 23:19
- and he said -- `The Jews agreed to request thee, that to-morrow to the sanhedrim thou mayest bring down Paul, as being about to enquire something more exactly concerning him; Acts 23:20
- thou, therefore, mayest thou not yield to them, for there lie in wait for him of them more than forty men, who did anathematize themselves -- not to eat nor to drink till they kill him, and now they are ready, waiting for the promise from thee.' Acts 23:21
- The chief captain, then, indeed, let the young man go, having charged him to tell no one, `that these things thou didst shew unto me;' Acts 23:22
- and having called near a certain two of the centurions, he said, `Make ready soldiers two hundred, that they may go on unto Caesarea, and horsemen seventy, and spearmen two hundred, from the third hour of the night; Acts 23:23
- beasts also provide, that, having set Paul on, they may bring him safe unto Felix the governor;' Acts 23:24
- `Claudius Lysias, to the most noble governor Felix, hail: Acts 23:26
- This man having been taken by the Jews, and being about to be killed by them -- having come with the soldiery, I rescued him, having learned that he is a Roman; Acts 23:27
- and, intending to know the cause for which they were accusing him, I brought him down to their sanhedrim, Acts 23:28
- and a plot having been intimated to me against this man -- about to be of the Jews -- at once I sent unto thee, having given command also to the accusers to say the things against him before thee; be strong.' Acts 23:30
- Then, indeed, the soldiers according to that directed them, having taken up Paul, brought him through the night to Antipatris, Acts 23:31
- and on the morrow, having suffered the horsemen to go on with him, they returned to the castle; Acts 23:32
- those having entered into Caesarea, and delivered the letter to the governor, did present also Paul to him. Acts 23:33
- And the governor having read it, and inquired of what province he is, and understood that he is from Cilicia; Acts 23:34
- `I will hear thee -- said he -- when thine accusers also may have come;' he also commanded him to be kept in the praetorium of Herod. Acts 23:35
- And after five days came down the chief priest Ananias, with the elders, and a certain orator -- Tertullus, and they made manifest to the governor the things against Paul; Acts 24:1
- for having found this man a pestilence, and moving a dissension to all the Jews through the world -- a ringleader also of the sect of the Nazarenes -- Acts 24:5
- who also the temple did try to profane, whom also we took, and according to our law did wish to judge, Acts 24:6
- and Lysias the chief captain having come near, with much violence, out of our hands did take away, Acts 24:7
- and the Jews also agreed, professing these things to be so. Acts 24:9
- And Paul answered -- the governor having beckoned to him to speak -- `Knowing that for many years thou hast been a judge to this nation, the more cheerfully the things concerning myself I do answer; Acts 24:10
- and neither in the temple did they find me reasoning with any one, or making a dissension of the multitude, nor in the synagogues, nor in the city; Acts 24:12
- nor are they able to prove against me the things concerning which they now accuse me. Acts 24:13
- `And I confess this to thee, that, according to the way that they call a sect, so serve I the God of the fathers, believing all things that in the law and the prophets have been written, Acts 24:14
- having hope toward God, which they themselves also wait for, that there is about to be a rising again of the dead, both of righteous and unrighteous; Acts 24:15
- in which certain Jews from Asia did find me purified in the temple, not with multitude, nor with tumult, Acts 24:18
- or let these same say if they found any unrighteousness in me in my standing before the sanhedrim, Acts 24:20
- except concerning this one voice, in which I cried, standing among them -- Concerning a rising again of the dead I am judged to-day by you.' Acts 24:21
- And having heard these things, Felix delayed them -- having known more exactly of the things concerning the way -- saying, `When Lysias the chief captain may come down, I will know fully the things concerning you;' Acts 24:22
- having given also a direction to the centurion to keep Paul, to let him also have liberty, and to forbid none of his own friends to minister or to come near to him. Acts 24:23
- And after certain days, Felix having come with Drusilla his wife, being a Jewess, he sent for Paul, and heard him concerning the faith toward Christ, Acts 24:24
- and he reasoning concerning righteousness, and temperance, and the judgment that is about to be, Felix, having become afraid, answered, `For the present be going, and having got time, I will call for thee;' Acts 24:25
- and at the same time also hoping that money shall be given to him by Paul, that he may release him, therefore, also sending for him the oftener, he was conversing with him; Acts 24:26
- and two years having been fulfilled, Felix received a successor, Porcius Festus; Felix also willing to lay a favour on the Jews, left Paul bound. Acts 24:27
- Festus, therefore, having come into the province, after three days went up to Jerusalem from Caesarea, Acts 25:1
- and the chief priest and the principal men of the Jews made manifest to him the things against Paul, and were calling on him, Acts 25:2
- asking favour against him, that he may send for him to Jerusalem, making an ambush to put him to death in the way. Acts 25:3
- and having tarried among them more than ten days, having gone down to Caesarea, on the morrow having sat upon the tribunal, he commanded Paul to be brought; Acts 25:6
- and he having come, there stood round about the Jews who have come down from Jerusalem -- many and weighty charges they are bringing against Paul, which they were not able to prove, Acts 25:7
- he making defence -- `Neither in regard to the law of the Jews, nor in regard to the temple, nor in regard to Caesar -- did I commit any sin.' Acts 25:8
- And Festus willing to lay on the Jews a favour, answering Paul, said, `Art thou willing, to Jerusalem having gone up, there concerning these things to be judged before me?' Acts 25:9
- and Paul said, `At the tribunal of Caesar I am standing, where it behoveth me to be judged; to Jews I did no unrighteousness, as thou dost also very well know; Acts 25:10
- for if indeed I am unrighteous, and anything worthy of death have done, I deprecate not to die; and if there is none of the things of which these accuse me, no one is able to make a favour of me to them; to Caesar I appeal!' Acts 25:11
- then Festus, having communed with the council, answered, `To Caesar thou hast appealed; to Caesar thou shalt go.' Acts 25:12
- And certain days having passed, Agrippa the king, and Bernice, came down to Caesarea saluting Festus, Acts 25:13
- and as they were continuing there more days, Festus submitted to the king the things concerning Paul, saying, `There is a certain man, left by Felix, a prisoner, Acts 25:14
- about whom, in my being at Jerusalem, the chief priests and the elders of the Jews laid information, asking a decision against him, Acts 25:15
- unto whom I answered, that it is not a custom of Romans to make a favour of any man to die, before that he who is accused may have the accusers face to face, and may receive place of defence in regard to the charge laid against him. Acts 25:16
- `They, therefore, having come together -- I, making no delay, on the succeeding day having sat upon the tribunal, did command the man to be brought, Acts 25:17
- concerning whom the accusers, having stood up, were bringing against him no accusation of the things I was thinking of, Acts 25:18
- and I, doubting in regard to the question concerning this, said, If he would wish to go on to Jerusalem, and there to be judged concerning these things -- Acts 25:20
- but Paul having appealed to be kept to the hearing of Sebastus, I did command him to be kept till I might send him unto Caesar.' Acts 25:21
- And Agrippa said unto Festus, `I was wishing also myself to hear the man;' and he said, `To-morrow thou shalt hear him;' Acts 25:22
- on the morrow, therefore -- on the coming of Agrippa and Bernice with much display, and they having entered into the audience chamber, with the chief captains also, and the principal men of the city, and Festus having ordered -- Paul was brought forth. Acts 25:23
- And Festus said, `King Agrippa, and all men who are present with us, ye see this one, about whom all the multitude of the Jews did deal with me, both in Jerusalem and here, crying out, He ought not to live any longer; Acts 25:24
- concerning whom I have no certain thing to write to my lord, wherefore I brought him forth before you, and specially before thee, king Agrippa, that the examination having been made, I may have something to write; Acts 25:26
- for it doth seem to me irrational, sending a prisoner, not also to signify the charges against him.' Acts 25:27
- And Agrippa said unto Paul, `It is permitted to thee to speak for thyself;' then Paul having stretched forth the hand, was making a defence: Acts 26:1
- `The manner of my life then, indeed, from youth -- which from the beginning was among my nation, in Jerusalem -- know do all the Jews, Acts 26:4
- knowing me before from the first, (if they may be willing to testify,) that after the most exact sect of our worship, I lived a Pharisee; Acts 26:5
- and now for the hope of the promise made to the fathers by God, I have stood judged, Acts 26:6
- to which our twelve tribes, intently night and day serving, do hope to come, concerning which hope I am accused, king Agrippa, by the Jews; Acts 26:7
- why is it judged incredible with you, if God doth raise the dead? Acts 26:8
- `I, indeed, therefore, thought with myself, that against the name of Jesus of Nazareth it behoved me many things to do, Acts 26:9
- which also I did in Jerusalem, and many of the saints I in prison did shut up, from the chief priests having received the authority; they also being put to death, I gave my vote against them, Acts 26:10
- `In which things, also, going on to Damascus -- with authority and commission from the chief priests -- Acts 26:12
- at mid-day, I saw in the way, O king, out of heaven, above the brightness of the sun, shining round about me a light -- and those going on with me; Acts 26:13
- and we all having fallen to the earth, I heard a voice speaking unto me, and saying in the Hebrew dialect, Saul, Saul, why me dost thou persecute? hard for thee against pricks to kick! Acts 26:14
- but rise, and stand upon thy feet, for for this I appeared to thee, to appoint thee an officer and a witness both of the things thou didst see, and of the things in which I will appear to thee, Acts 26:16
- delivering thee from the people, and the nations, to whom now I send thee, Acts 26:17
- to open their eyes, to turn them from darkness to light, and from the authority of the Adversary unto God, for their receiving forgiveness of sins, and a lot among those having been sanctified, by faith that is toward me. Acts 26:18
- `Whereupon, king Agrippa, I was not disobedient to the heavenly vision, Acts 26:19
- but to those in Damascus first, and to those in Jerusalem, to all the region also of Judea, and to the nations, I was preaching to reform, and to turn back unto God, doing works worthy of reformation; Acts 26:20
- because of these things the Jews -- having caught me in the temple -- were endeavouring to kill me. Acts 26:21
- `Having obtained, therefore, help from God, till this day, I have stood witnessing both to small and to great, saying nothing besides the things that both the prophets and Moses spake of as about to come, Acts 26:22
- that the Christ is to suffer, whether first by a rising from the dead, he is about to proclaim light to the people and to the nations.' Acts 26:23
- and he saith, `I am not mad, most noble Festus, but of truth and soberness the sayings I speak forth; Acts 26:25
- for the king doth know concerning these things, before whom also I speak boldly, for none of these things, I am persuaded, are hidden from him; for this thing hath not been done in a corner; Acts 26:26
- thou dost believe, king Agrippa, the prophets? I have known that thou dost believe!' Acts 26:27
- And, he having spoken these things, the king rose up, and the governor, Bernice also, and those sitting with them, Acts 26:30
- And when our sailing to Italy was determined, they were delivering up both Paul and certain others, prisoners, to a centurion, by name Julius, of the band of Sebastus, Acts 27:1
- and having embarked in a ship of Adramyttium, we, being about to sail by the coasts of Asia, did set sail, there being with us Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica, Acts 27:2
- on the next day also we touched at Sidon, and Julius, courteously treating Paul, did permit him, having gone on unto friends, to receive their care. Acts 27:3
- And thence, having set sail, we sailed under Cyprus, because of the winds being contrary, Acts 27:4
- and having sailed over the sea over-against Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myria of Lycia, Acts 27:5
- and there the centurion having found a ship of Alexandria, sailing to Italy, did put us into it, Acts 27:6
- and having sailed slowly many days, and with difficulty coming over-against Cnidus, the wind not suffering us, we sailed under Crete, over-against Salmone, Acts 27:7
- and hardly passing it, we came to a certain place called `Fair Havens,' nigh to which was the city of Lasaea. Acts 27:8
- And much time being spent, and the sailing being now dangerous -- because of the fast also being already past -- Paul was admonishing, Acts 27:9
- saying to them, `Men, I perceive that with hurt, and much damage, not only of the lading and of the ship, but also of our lives -- the voyage is about to be;' Acts 27:10
- but the centurion to the pilot and to the shipowner gave credence more than to the things spoken by Paul; Acts 27:11
- and the haven being incommodious to winter in, the more part gave counsel to sail thence also, if by any means they might be able, having attained to Phenice, there to winter, which is a haven of Crete, looking to the south-west and north-west, Acts 27:12
- and the ship being caught, and not being able to bear up against the wind, having given her up, we were borne on, Acts 27:15
- and having run under a certain little isle, called Clauda, we were hardly able to become masters of the boat, Acts 27:16
- which having taken up, they were using helps, undergirding the ship, and fearing lest they may fall on the quicksand, having let down the mast -- so were borne on. Acts 27:17
- And we, being exceedingly tempest-tossed, the succeeding day they were making a clearing, Acts 27:18
- and on the third day with our own hands the tackling of the ship we cast out, Acts 27:19
- And there having been long fasting, then Paul having stood in the midst of them, said, `It behoved you, indeed, O men -- having hearkened to me -- not to set sail from Crete, and to save this hurt and damage; Acts 27:21
- and now I exhort you to be of good cheer, for there shall be no loss of life among you -- but of the ship; Acts 27:22
- And when the fourteenth night came -- we being borne up and down in the Adria -- toward the middle of the night the sailors were supposing that some country drew nigh to them; Acts 27:27
- and fearing lest on rough places we may fall, out of the stern having cast four anchors, they were wishing day to come. Acts 27:29
- And the sailors seeking to flee out of the ship, and having let down the boat to the sea, in pretence as if out of the foreship they are about to cast anchors, Acts 27:30
- Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, `If these do not remain in the ship -- ye are not able to be saved;' Acts 27:31
- then the soldiers did cut off the ropes of the boat, and suffered it to fall off. Acts 27:32
- And till the day was about to be, Paul was calling upon all to partake of nourishment, saying, `Fourteen days to-day, waiting, ye continue fasting, having taken nothing, Acts 27:33
- wherefore I call upon you to take nourishment, for this is for your safety, for of not one of you shall a hair from the head fall;' Acts 27:34
- (and we were -- all the souls in the ship -- two hundred, seventy and six), Acts 27:37
- and having eaten sufficient nourishment, they were lightening the ship, casting forth the wheat into the sea. Acts 27:38
- And when the day came, they were not discerning the land, but a certain creek were perceiving having a beach, into which they took counsel, if possible, to thrust forward the ship, Acts 27:39
- and the anchors having taken up, they were committing it to the sea, at the same time -- having loosed the bands of the rudders, and having hoisted up the mainsail to the wind -- they were making for the shore, Acts 27:40
- and having fallen into a place of two seas, they ran the ship aground, and the fore-part, indeed, having stuck fast, did remain immoveable, but the hinder-part was broken by the violence of the waves. Acts 27:41
- And the soldiers' counsel was that they should kill the prisoners, lest any one having swam out should escape, Acts 27:42
- but the centurion, wishing to save Paul, hindered them from the counsel, and did command those able to swim, having cast themselves out first -- to get unto the land, Acts 27:43
- and the rest, some indeed upon boards, and some upon certain things of the ship; and thus it came to pass that all came safe unto the land. Acts 27:44
- And having been saved, then they knew that the island is called Melita, Acts 28:1
- and the foreigners were shewing us no ordinary kindness, for having kindled a fire, they received us all, because of the pressing rain, and because of the cold; Acts 28:2
- but Paul having gathered together a quantity of sticks, and having laid them upon the fire, a viper -- out of the heat having come -- did fasten on his hand. Acts 28:3
- And when the foreigners saw the beast hanging from his hand, they said unto one another, `Certainly this man is a murderer, whom, having been saved out of the sea, the justice did not suffer to live;' Acts 28:4
- he then, indeed, having shaken off the beast into the fire, suffered no evil, Acts 28:5
- And in the neighbourhood of that place were lands of the principal man of the island, by name Publius, who, having received us, three days did courteously lodge us; Acts 28:7
- and it came to pass, the father of Publius with feverish heats and dysentery pressed, was laid, unto whom Paul having entered, and having prayed, having laid his hands on him, healed him; Acts 28:8
- this, therefore, being done, the others also in the island having infirmities were coming and were healed; Acts 28:9
- who also with many honours did honour us, and we setting sail -- they were lading us with the things that were necessary. Acts 28:10
- And after three months, we set sail in a ship (that had wintered in the isle) of Alexandria, with the sign Dioscuri, Acts 28:11
- thence having gone round, we came to Rhegium, and after one day, a south wind having sprung up, the second day we came to Puteoli; Acts 28:13
- and thence, the brethren having heard the things concerning us, came forth to meet us, unto Appii Forum, and Three Taverns -- whom Paul having seen, having given thanks to God, took courage. Acts 28:15
- And when we came to Rome, the centurion delivered up the prisoners to the captain of the barrack, but Paul was suffered to remain by himself, with the soldier guarding him. Acts 28:16
- And it came to pass after three days, Paul called together those who are the principal men of the Jews, and they having come together, he said unto them: `Men, brethren, I -- having done nothing contrary to the people, or to the customs of the fathers -- a prisoner from Jerusalem, was delivered up to the hands of the Romans; Acts 28:17
- and the Jews having spoken against it, I was constrained to appeal unto Caesar -- not as having anything to accuse my nation of; Acts 28:19
- for this cause, therefore, I called for you to see and to speak with you, for because of the hope of Israel with this chain I am bound.' Acts 28:20
- And they said unto him, `We did neither receive letters concerning thee from Judea, nor did any one who came of the brethren declare or speak any evil concerning thee, Acts 28:21
- and having appointed him a day, they came, more of them unto him, to the lodging, to whom he was expounding, testifying fully the reign of God, persuading them also of the things concerning Jesus, both from the law of Moses, and the prophets, from morning till evening, Acts 28:23
- and, some, indeed, were believing the things spoken, and some were not believing. Acts 28:24
- And not being agreed with one another, they were going away, Paul having spoken one word -- `Well did the Holy Spirit speak through Isaiah the prophet unto our fathers, Acts 28:25
- for made gross was the heart of this people, and with the ears they heard heavily, and their eyes they did close, lest they may see with the eyes, and with the heart may understand, and be turned back, and I may heal them. Acts 28:27
- `Be it known, therefore, to you, that to the nations was sent the salvation of God, these also will hear it;' Acts 28:28
- and he having said these things, the Jews went away, having much disputation among themselves; Acts 28:29
- preaching the reign of God, and teaching the things concerning the Lord Jesus Christ with all boldness -- unforbidden. Acts 28:31
- Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, a called apostle, having been separated to the good news of God -- Rom. 1:1
- concerning His Son, (who is come of the seed of David according to the flesh, Rom. 1:3
- who is marked out Son of God in power, according to the Spirit of sanctification, by the rising again from the dead,) Jesus Christ our Lord; Rom. 1:4
- through whom we did receive grace and apostleship, for obedience of faith among all the nations, in behalf of his name; Rom. 1:5
- among whom are also ye, the called of Jesus Christ; Rom. 1:6
- to all who are in Rome, beloved of God, called saints; Grace to you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ! Rom. 1:7
- first, indeed, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is proclaimed in the whole world; Rom. 1:8
- for God is my witness, whom I serve in my spirit in the good news of His Son, how unceasingly I make mention of you, Rom. 1:9
- always in my prayers beseeching, if by any means now at length I shall have a prosperous journey, by the will of God, to come unto you, Rom. 1:10
- and that is, that I may be comforted together among you, through the faith in one another, both yours and mine. Rom. 1:12
- And I do not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, that many times I did purpose to come unto you -- and was hindered till the present time -- that some fruit I might have also among you, even as also among the other nations. Rom. 1:13
- for I am not ashamed of the good news of the Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation to every one who is believing, both to Jew first, and to Greek. Rom. 1:16
- For the righteousness of God in it is revealed from faith to faith, according as it hath been written, `And the righteous one by faith shall live,' Rom. 1:17
- for revealed is the wrath of God from heaven upon all impiety and unrighteousness of men, holding down the truth in unrighteousness. Rom. 1:18
- for the invisible things of Him from the creation of the world, by the things made being understood, are plainly seen, both His eternal power and Godhead -- to their being inexcusable; Rom. 1:20
- and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into the likeness of an image of corruptible man, and of fowls, and of quadrupeds, and of reptiles. Rom. 1:23
- Wherefore also God did give them up, in the desires of their hearts, to uncleanness, to dishonour their bodies among themselves; Rom. 1:24
- who did change the truth of God into a falsehood, and did honour and serve the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed to the ages. Amen. Rom. 1:25
- Because of this did God give them up to dishonourable affections, for even their females did change the natural use into that against nature; Rom. 1:26
- and in like manner also the males having left the natural use of the female, did burn in their longing toward one another; males with males working shame, and the recompense of their error that was fit, in themselves receiving. Rom. 1:27
- And, according as they did not approve of having God in knowledge, God gave them up to a disapproved mind, to do the things not seemly; Rom. 1:28
- who the righteous judgment of God having known -- that those practising such things are worthy of death -- not only do them, but also have delight with those practising them. Rom. 1:32
- Therefore, thou art inexcusable, O man -- every one who is judging -- for in that in which thou dost judge the other, thyself thou dost condemn, for the same things thou dost practise who art judging, Rom. 2:1
- and we have known that the judgment of God is according to truth, upon those practising such things. Rom. 2:2
- And dost thou think this, O man, who art judging those who such things are practising, and art doing them, that thou shalt escape the judgment of God? Rom. 2:3
- or the riches of His goodness, and forbearance, and long-suffering, dost thou despise? -- not knowing that the goodness of God doth lead thee to reformation! Rom. 2:4
- but, according to thy hardness and impenitent heart, thou dost treasure up to thyself wrath, in a day of wrath and of the revelation of the righteous judgment of God, Rom. 2:5
- and to those contentious, and disobedient, indeed, to the truth, and obeying the unrighteousness -- indignation and wrath, Rom. 2:8
- tribulation and distress, upon every soul of man that is working the evil, both of Jew first, and of Greek; Rom. 2:9
- and glory, and honour, and peace, to every one who is working the good, both to Jew first, and to Greek. Rom. 2:10
- for not the hearers of the law are righteous before God, but the doers of the law shall be declared righteous: -- Rom. 2:13
- For, when nations that have not a law, by nature may do the things of the law, these not having a law -- to themselves are a law; Rom. 2:14
- who do shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also witnessing with them, and between one another the thoughts accusing or else defending, Rom. 2:15
- in the day when God shall judge the secrets of men, according to my good news, through Jesus Christ. Rom. 2:16
- Lo, thou art named a Jew, and dost rest upon the law, and dost boast in God, Rom. 2:17
- and dost know the will, and dost approve the distinctions, being instructed out of the law, Rom. 2:18
- an instructor of foolish ones, a teacher of babes, having the form of the knowledge and of the truth in the law. Rom. 2:20
- thou who art preaching not to steal, dost thou steal? thou who art saying not to commit adultery, dost thou commit adultery? thou who art abhorring the idols, dost thou rob temples? Rom. 2:22
- thou who in the law dost boast, through the transgression of the law God dost thou dishonour? Rom. 2:23
- for the name of God because of you is evil spoken of among the nations, according as it hath been written. Rom. 2:24
- If, therefore the uncircumcision the righteousness of the law may keep, shall not his uncircumcision for circumcision be reckoned? Rom. 2:26
- and the uncircumcision, by nature, fulfilling the law, shall judge thee who, through letter and circumcision, art a transgressor of law. Rom. 2:27
- but a Jew is he who is so inwardly, and circumcision is of the heart, in spirit, not in letter, of which the praise is not of men, but of God. Rom. 2:29
- What, then, is the superiority of the Jew? or what the profit of the circumcision? Rom. 3:1
- much in every way; for first, indeed, that they were intrusted with the oracles of God; Rom. 3:2
- for what, if certain were faithless? shall their faithlessness the faithfulness of god make useless? Rom. 3:3
- And, if our unrighteousness God's righteousness doth establish, what shall we say? is God unrighteous who is inflicting the wrath? (after the manner of a man I speak) Rom. 3:5
- let it not be! since how shall God judge the world? Rom. 3:6
- for if the truth of God in my falsehood did more abound to His glory, why yet am I also as a sinner judged? Rom. 3:7
- and not, as we are evil spoken of, and as certain affirm us to say -- `We may do the evil things, that the good ones may come?' whose judgment is righteous. Rom. 3:8
- All did go out of the way, together they became unprofitable, there is none doing good, there is not even one. Rom. 3:12
- And we have known that as many things as the law saith, to those in the law it doth speak, that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may come under judgment to God; Rom. 3:19
- And now apart from law hath the righteousness of God been manifested, testified to by the law and the prophets, Rom. 3:21
- and the righteousness of God is through the faith of Jesus Christ to all, and upon all those believing, -- for there is no difference, Rom. 3:22
- for all did sin, and are come short of the glory of God -- Rom. 3:23
- being declared righteous freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, Rom. 3:24
- whom God did set forth a mercy seat, through the faith in his blood, for the shewing forth of His righteousness, because of the passing over of the bygone sins in the forbearance of God -- Rom. 3:25
- for the shewing forth of His righteousness in the present time, for His being righteous, and declaring him righteous who is of the faith of Jesus. Rom. 3:26
- Where then is the boasting? it was excluded; by what law? of works? no, but by a law of faith: Rom. 3:27
- The God of Jews only is He, and not also of nations? Rom. 3:29
- yes, also of nations; since one is God who shall declare righteous the circumcision by faith, and the uncircumcision through the faith. Rom. 3:30
- Law then do we make useless through the faith? let it not be! yea, we do establish law. Rom. 3:31
- for what doth the writing say? `And Abraham did believe God, and it was reckoned to him -- to righteousness;' Rom. 4:3
- and to him who is working, the reward is not reckoned of grace, but of debt; Rom. 4:4
- and to him who is not working, and is believing upon Him who is declaring righteous the impious, his faith is reckoned -- to righteousness: Rom. 4:5
- even as David also doth speak of the happiness of the man to whom God doth reckon righteousness apart from works: Rom. 4:6
- happy the man to whom the Lord may not reckon sin.' Rom. 4:8
- Is this happiness, then, upon the circumcision, or also upon the uncircumcision -- for we say that the faith was reckoned to Abraham -- to righteousness? Rom. 4:9
- and a sign he did receive of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith in the uncircumcision, for his being father of all those believing through uncircumcision, for the righteousness also being reckoned to them, Rom. 4:11
- and father of circumcision to those not of circumcision only, but who also walk in the steps of the faith, that is in the uncircumcision of our father Abraham. Rom. 4:12
- For not through law is the promise to Abraham, or to his seed, of his being heir of the world, but through the righteousness of faith; Rom. 4:13
- for if they who are of law are heirs, the faith hath been made void, and the promise hath been made useless; Rom. 4:14
- for the law doth work wrath; for where law is not, neither is transgression. Rom. 4:15
- Because of this it is of faith, that it may be according to grace, for the promise being sure to all the seed, not to that which is of the law only, but also to that which is of the faith of Abraham, Rom. 4:16
- who is father of us all (according as it hath been written -- `A father of many nations I have set thee,') before Him whom he did believe -- God, who is quickening the dead, and is calling the things that be not as being. Rom. 4:17
- and not having been weak in the faith, he did not consider his own body, already become dead, (being about a hundred years old,) and the deadness of Sarah's womb, Rom. 4:19
- and at the promise of God did not stagger in unbelief, but was strengthened in faith, having given glory to God, Rom. 4:20
- but also on ours, to whom it is about to be reckoned -- to us believing on Him who did raise up Jesus our Lord out of the dead, Rom. 4:24
- through whom also we have the access by the faith into this grace in which we have stood, and we boast on the hope of the glory of God. Rom. 5:2
- And not only so, but we also boast in the tribulations, knowing that the tribulation doth work endurance; Rom. 5:3
- and the endurance, experience; and the experience, hope; Rom. 5:4
- and the hope doth not make ashamed, because the love of God hath been poured forth in our hearts through the Holy Spirit that hath been given to us. Rom. 5:5
- For in our being still ailing, Christ in due time did die for the impious; Rom. 5:6
- for scarcely for a righteous man will any one die, for for the good man perhaps some one also doth dare to die; Rom. 5:7
- much more, then, having been declared righteous now in his blood, we shall be saved through him from the wrath; Rom. 5:9
- for if, being enemies, we have been reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved in his life. Rom. 5:10
- And not only so, but we are also boasting in God, through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom now we did receive the reconciliation; Rom. 5:11
- because of this, even as through one man the sin did enter into the world, and through the sin the death; and thus to all men the death did pass through, for that all did sin; Rom. 5:12
- for till law sin was in the world: and sin is not reckoned when there is not law; Rom. 5:13
- but the death did reign from Adam till Moses, even upon those not having sinned in the likeness of Adam's transgression, who is a type of him who is coming. Rom. 5:14
- But, not as the offence so also is the free gift; for if by the offence of the one the many did die, much more did the grace of God, and the free gift in grace of the one man Jesus Christ, abound to the many; Rom. 5:15
- and not as through one who did sin is the free gift, for the judgment indeed is of one to condemnation, but the gift is of many offences to a declaration of `Righteous,' Rom. 5:16
- for if by the offence of the one the death did reign through the one, much more those, who the abundance of the grace and of the free gift of the righteousness are receiving, in life shall reign through the one -- Jesus Christ. Rom. 5:17
- for as through the disobedience of the one man, the many were constituted sinners: so also through the obedience of the one, shall the many be constituted righteous. Rom. 5:19
- And law came in, that the offence might abound, and where the sin did abound, the grace did overabound, Rom. 5:20
- that even as the sin did reign in the death, so also the grace may reign, through righteousness, to life age-during, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Rom. 5:21
- What, then, shall we say? shall we continue in the sin that the grace may abound? Rom. 6:1
- let it not be! we who died to the sin -- how shall we still live in it? Rom. 6:2
- we were buried together, then, with him through the baptism to the death, that even as Christ was raised up out of the dead through the glory of the Father, so also we in newness of life might walk. Rom. 6:4
- For, if we have become planted together to the likeness of his death, so also we shall be of the rising again; Rom. 6:5
- this knowing, that our old man was crucified with him, that the body of the sin may be made useless, for our no longer serving the sin; Rom. 6:6
- for he who hath died hath been set free from the sin. Rom. 6:7
- knowing that Christ, having been raised up out of the dead, doth no more die, death over him hath no more lordship; Rom. 6:9
- for in that he died, to the sin he died once, and in that he liveth, he liveth to God; Rom. 6:10
- so also ye, reckon yourselves to be dead indeed to the sin, and living to God in Jesus Christ our Lord. Rom. 6:11
- Let not then the sin reign in your mortal body, to obey it in its desires; Rom. 6:12
- neither present ye your members instruments of unrighteousness to the sin, but present yourselves to God as living out of the dead, and your members instruments of righteousness to God; Rom. 6:13
- and thanks to God, that ye were servants of the sin, and -- were obedient from the heart to the form of teaching to which ye were delivered up; Rom. 6:17
- and having been freed from the sin, ye became servants to the righteousness. Rom. 6:18
- In the manner of men I speak, because of the weakness of your flesh, for even as ye did present your members servants to the uncleanness and to the lawlessness -- to the lawlessness, so now present your members servants to the righteousness -- to sanctification, Rom. 6:19
- for when ye were servants of the sin, ye were free from the righteousness, Rom. 6:20
- what fruit, therefore, were ye having then, in the things of which ye are now ashamed? for the end of those is death. Rom. 6:21
- And now, having been freed from the sin, and having become servants to God, ye have your fruit -- to sanctification, and the end life age-during; Rom. 6:22
- for the wages of the sin is death, and the gift of God is life age-during in Christ Jesus our Lord. Rom. 6:23
- Are ye ignorant, brethren -- for to those knowing law I speak -- that the law hath lordship over the man as long as he liveth? Rom. 7:1
- for the married woman to the living husband hath been bound by law, and if the husband may die, she hath been free from the law of the husband; Rom. 7:2
- so, then, the husband being alive, an adulteress she shall be called if she may become another man's; and if the husband may die, she is free from the law, so as not to be an adulteress, having become another man's. Rom. 7:3
- So that, my brethren, ye also were made dead to the law through the body of the Christ, for your becoming another's, who out of the dead was raised up, that we might bear fruit to God; Rom. 7:4
- for when we were in the flesh, the passions of the sins, that are through the law, were working in our members, to bear fruit to the death; Rom. 7:5
- and now we have ceased from the law, that being dead in which we were held, so that we may serve in newness of spirit, and not in oldness of letter. Rom. 7:6
- What, then, shall we say? the law is sin? let it not be! but the sin I did not know except through law, for also the covetousness I had not known if the law had not said: `Thou shalt not covet;' Rom. 7:7
- and the sin having received an opportunity, through the command, did work in me all covetousness -- for apart from law sin is dead. Rom. 7:8
- And I was alive apart from law once, and the command having come, the sin revived, and I died; Rom. 7:9
- and the command that is for life, this was found by me for death; Rom. 7:10
- for the sin, having received an opportunity, through the command, did deceive me, and through it did slay me; Rom. 7:11
- so that the law, indeed, is holy, and the command holy, and righteous, and good. Rom. 7:12
- That which is good then, to me hath it become death? let it not be! but the sin, that it might appear sin, through the good, working death to me, that the sin might become exceeding sinful through the command, Rom. 7:13
- for we have known that the law is spiritual, and I am fleshly, sold by the sin; Rom. 7:14
- And if what I do not will, this I do, I consent to the law that it is good, Rom. 7:16
- and now it is no longer I that work it, but the sin dwelling in me, Rom. 7:17
- for the good that I will, I do not; but the evil that I do not will, this I practise. Rom. 7:19
- And if what I do not will, this I do, it is no longer I that work it, but the sin that is dwelling in me. Rom. 7:20
- I find, then, the law, that when I desire to do what is right, with me the evil is present, Rom. 7:21
- for I delight in the law of God according to the inward man, Rom. 7:22
- and I behold another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of the sin that is in my members. Rom. 7:23
- A wretched man I am! who shall deliver me out of the body of this death? Rom. 7:24
- I thank God -- through Jesus Christ our Lord; so then, I myself indeed with the mind do serve the law of God, and with the flesh, the law of sin. Rom. 7:25
- There is, then, now no condemnation to those in Christ Jesus, who walk not according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit; Rom. 8:1
- for the law of the Spirit of the life in Christ Jesus did set me free from the law of the sin and of the death; Rom. 8:2
- for what the law was not able to do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God, His own Son having sent in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, did condemn the sin in the flesh, Rom. 8:3
- that the righteousness of the law may be fulfilled in us, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. Rom. 8:4
- For those who are according to the flesh, the things of the flesh do mind; and those according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit; Rom. 8:5
- for the mind of the flesh is death, and the mind of the Spirit -- life and peace; Rom. 8:6
- because the mind of the flesh is enmity to God, for to the law of God it doth not subject itself, Rom. 8:7
- for neither is it able; and those who are in the flesh are not able to please God. Rom. 8:8
- And ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God doth dwell in you; and if any one hath not the Spirit of Christ -- this one is not His; Rom. 8:9
- and if Christ is in you, the body, indeed, is dead because of sin, and the Spirit is life because of righteousness, Rom. 8:10
- and if the Spirit of Him who did raise up Jesus out of the dead doth dwell in you, He who did raise up the Christ out of the dead shall quicken also your dying bodies, through His Spirit dwelling in you. Rom. 8:11
- So, then, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh; Rom. 8:12
- for if according to the flesh ye do live, ye are about to die; and if, by the Spirit, the deeds of the body ye put to death, ye shall live; Rom. 8:13
- for as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are the sons of God; Rom. 8:14
- The Spirit himself doth testify with our spirit, that we are children of God; Rom. 8:16
- For I reckon that the sufferings of the present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory about to be revealed in us; Rom. 8:18
- for the earnest looking out of the creation doth expect the revelation of the sons of God; Rom. 8:19
- for to vanity was the creation made subject -- not of its will, but because of Him who did subject it -- in hope, Rom. 8:20
- that also the creation itself shall be set free from the servitude of the corruption to the liberty of the glory of the children of God; Rom. 8:21
- for we have known that all the creation doth groan together, and doth travail in pain together till now. Rom. 8:22
- And not only so, but also we ourselves, having the first-fruit of the Spirit, we also ourselves in ourselves do groan, adoption expecting -- the redemption of our body; Rom. 8:23
- And, in like manner also, the Spirit doth help our weaknesses; for, what we may pray for, as it behoveth us, we have not known, but the Spirit himself doth make intercession for us with groanings unutterable, Rom. 8:26
- and He who is searching the hearts hath known what is the mind of the Spirit, because according to God he doth intercede for saints. Rom. 8:27
- because whom He did foreknow, He also did fore-appoint, conformed to the image of His Son, that he might be first-born among many brethren; Rom. 8:29
- He who indeed His own Son did not spare, but for us all did deliver him up, how shall He not also with him the all things grant to us? Rom. 8:32
- Who shall lay a charge against the choice ones of God? God is He that is declaring righteous, Rom. 8:33
- who is he that is condemning? Christ is He that died, yea, rather also, was raised up; who is also on the right hand of God -- who also doth intercede for us. Rom. 8:34
- Who shall separate us from the love of the Christ? tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? Rom. 8:35
- (according as it hath been written -- `For Thy sake we are put to death all the day long, we were reckoned as sheep of slaughter,') Rom. 8:36
- nor things about to be, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of god, that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Rom. 8:39
- Truth I say in Christ, I lie not, my conscience bearing testimony with me in the Holy Spirit, Rom. 9:1
- for I was wishing, I myself, to be anathema from the Christ -- for my brethren, my kindred, according to the flesh, Rom. 9:3
- who are Israelites, whose is the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the lawgiving, and the service, and the promises, Rom. 9:4
- whose are the fathers, and of whom is the Christ, according to the flesh, who is over all, God blessed to the ages. Amen. Rom. 9:5
- And it is not possible that the word of God hath failed; for not all who are of Israel are these Israel; Rom. 9:6
- that is, the children of the flesh -- these are not children of God; but the children of the promise are reckoned for seed; Rom. 9:8
- for the word of promise is this; `According to this time I will come, and there shall be to Sarah a son.' Rom. 9:9
- (for they being not yet born, neither having done anything good or evil, that the purpose of God, according to choice, might remain; not of works, but of Him who is calling,) Rom. 9:11
- it was said to her -- `The greater shall serve the less;' Rom. 9:12
- for the Writing saith to Pharaoh -- `For this very thing I did raise thee up, that I might shew in thee My power, and that My name might be declared in all the land;' Rom. 9:17
- nay, but, O man, who art thou that art answering again to God? shall the thing formed say to Him who did form it, Why me didst thou make thus? Rom. 9:20
- hath not the potter authority over the clay, out of the same lump to make the one vessel to honour, and the one to dishonour? Rom. 9:21
- And if God, willing to shew the wrath and to make known His power, did endure, in much long suffering, vessels of wrath fitted for destruction, Rom. 9:22
- and that He might make known the riches of His glory on vessels of kindness, that He before prepared for glory, whom also He did call -- us -- Rom. 9:23
- and it shall be -- in the place where it was said to them, Ye are not My people; there they shall be called sons of the living God.' Rom. 9:26
- And Isaiah doth cry concerning Israel, `If the number of the sons of Israel may be as the sand of the sea, the remnant shall be saved; Rom. 9:27
- for a matter He is finishing, and is cutting short in righteousness, because a matter cut short will the Lord do upon the land. Rom. 9:28
- and according as Isaiah saith before, `Except the Lord of Sabaoth did leave to us a seed, as Sodom we had become, and as Gomorrah we had been made like.' Rom. 9:29
- wherefore? because -- not by faith, but as by works of law; for they did stumble at the stone of stumbling, Rom. 9:32
- Brethren, the pleasure indeed of my heart, and my supplication that is to God for Israel, is -- for salvation; Rom. 10:1
- for not knowing the righteousness of God, and their own righteousness seeking to establish, to the righteousness of God they did not submit. Rom. 10:3
- for Moses doth describe the righteousness that is of the law, that, `The man who did them shall live in them,' Rom. 10:5
- and the righteousness of faith doth thus speak: `Thou mayest not say in thine heart, Who shall go up to the heaven,' that is, Christ to bring down? Rom. 10:6
- or, `Who shall go down to the abyss,' that is, Christ out of the dead to bring up. Rom. 10:7
- But what doth it say? `Nigh thee is the saying -- in thy mouth, and in thy heart:' that is, the saying of the faith, that we preach; Rom. 10:8
- that if thou mayest confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and mayest believe in thy heart that God did raise him out of the dead, thou shalt be saved, Rom. 10:9
- for with the heart doth one believe to righteousness, and with the mouth is confession made to salvation; Rom. 10:10
- for the Writing saith, `Every one who is believing on him shall not be ashamed,' Rom. 10:11
- for there is no difference between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord of all is rich to all those calling upon Him, Rom. 10:12
- for every one -- whoever shall call upon the name of the Lord, he shall be saved.' Rom. 10:13
- and how shall they preach, if they may not be sent? according as it hath been written, `How beautiful the feet of those proclaiming good tidings of peace, of those proclaiming good tidings of the good things!' Rom. 10:15
- But they were not all obedient to the good tidings, for Isaiah saith, `Lord, who did give credence to our report?' Rom. 10:16
- so then the faith is by a report, and the report through a saying of God, Rom. 10:17
- but I say, Did they not hear? yes, indeed -- `to all the earth their voice went forth, and to the ends of the habitable world their sayings.' Rom. 10:18
- and unto Israel He saith, `All the day I did stretch out My hands unto a people unbelieving and gainsaying.' Rom. 10:21
- I say, then, Did God cast away His people? let it not be! for I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin: Rom. 11:1
- God did not cast away His people whom He knew before; have ye not known -- in Elijah -- what the Writing saith? how he doth plead with God concerning Israel, saying, Rom. 11:2
- but what saith the divine answer to him? `I left to Myself seven thousand men, who did not bow a knee to Baal.' Rom. 11:4
- So then also in the present time a remnant according to the choice of grace there hath been; Rom. 11:5
- and if by grace, no more of works, otherwise the grace becometh no more grace; and if of works, it is no more grace, otherwise the work is no more work. Rom. 11:6
- What then? What Israel doth seek after, this it did not obtain, and the chosen did obtain, and the rest were hardened, Rom. 11:7
- I say, then, Did they stumble that they might fall? let it not be! but by their fall the salvation is to the nations, to arouse them to jealousy; Rom. 11:11
- and if the fall of them is the riches of a world, and the diminution of them the riches of nations, how much more the fulness of them? Rom. 11:12
- For to you I speak -- to the nations -- inasmuch as I am indeed an apostle of nations, my ministration I do glorify; Rom. 11:13
- for if the casting away of them is a reconciliation of the world, what the reception -- if not life out of the dead? Rom. 11:15
- and if the first-fruit is holy, the lump also; and if the root is holy, the branches also. Rom. 11:16
- And if certain of the branches were broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wast graffed in among them, and a fellow-partaker of the root and of the fatness of the olive tree didst become -- Rom. 11:17
- do not boast against the branches; and if thou dost boast, thou dost not bear the root, but the root thee! Rom. 11:18
- Thou wilt say, then, `The branches were broken off, that I might be graffed in;' right! Rom. 11:19
- for if God the natural branches did not spare -- lest perhaps He also shall not spare thee. Rom. 11:21
- Lo, then, goodness and severity of God -- upon those indeed who fell, severity; and upon thee, goodness, if thou mayest remain in the goodness, otherwise, thou also shalt be cut off. Rom. 11:22
- for if thou, out of the olive tree, wild by nature, wast cut out, and, contrary to nature, wast graffed into a good olive tree, how much rather shall they, who are according to nature, be graffed into their own olive tree? Rom. 11:24
- For I do not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, of this secret -- that ye may not be wise in your own conceits -- that hardness in part to Israel hath happened till the fulness of the nations may come in; Rom. 11:25
- and this to them is the covenant from Me, when I may take away their sins.' Rom. 11:27
- As regards, indeed, the good tidings, they are enemies on your account; and as regards the choice -- beloved on account of the fathers; Rom. 11:28
- for unrepented of are the gifts and the calling of God; Rom. 11:29
- for as ye also once did not believe in God, and now did find kindness by the unbelief of these: Rom. 11:30
- for God did shut up together the whole to unbelief, that to the whole He might do kindness. Rom. 11:32
- for who did know the mind of the Lord? or who did become His counsellor? Rom. 11:34
- because of Him, and through Him, and to Him are the all things; to Him is the glory -- to the ages. Amen. Rom. 11:36
- I call upon you, therefore, brethren, through the compassions of God, to present your bodies a sacrifice -- living, sanctified, acceptable to God -- your intelligent service; Rom. 12:1
- and be not conformed to this age, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, for your proving what is the will of God -- the good, and acceptable, and perfect. Rom. 12:2
- For I say, through the grace that was given to me, to every one who is among you, not to think above what it behoveth to think; but to think so as to think wisely, as to each God did deal a measure of faith, Rom. 12:3
- for as in one body we have many members, and all the members have not the same office, Rom. 12:4
- so we, the many, one body are in Christ, and members each one of one another. Rom. 12:5
- And having gifts, different according to the grace that was given to us; whether prophecy -- `According to the proportion of faith!' Rom. 12:6
- or ministration -- `In the ministration!' or he who is teaching -- `In the teaching!' Rom. 12:7
- or he who is exhorting -- `In the exhortation!' he who is sharing -- `In simplicity!' he who is leading -- `In diligence?' he who is doing kindness -- `In cheerfulness.' Rom. 12:8
- The love unfeigned: abhorring the evil; cleaving to the good; Rom. 12:9
- in the love of brethren, to one another kindly affectioned: in the honour going before one another; Rom. 12:10
- in the diligence not slothful; in the spirit fervent; the Lord serving; Rom. 12:11
- in the hope rejoicing; in the tribulation enduring; in the prayer persevering; Rom. 12:12
- to the necessities of the saints communicating; the hospitality pursuing. Rom. 12:13
- to rejoice with the rejoicing, and to weep with the weeping, Rom. 12:15
- of the same mind one toward another, not minding the high things, but with the lowly going along; become not wise in your own conceit; Rom. 12:16
- not avenging yourselves, beloved, but give place to the wrath, for it hath been written, `Vengeance is Mine, Rom. 12:19
- I will recompense again, saith the Lord;' if, then, thine enemy doth hunger, feed him; if he doth thirst, give him drink; for this doing, coals of fire thou shalt heap upon his head; Rom. 12:20
- Be not overcome by the evil, but overcome, in the good, the evil. Rom. 12:21
- Let every soul to the higher authorities be subject, for there is no authority except from God, and the authorities existing are appointed by God, Rom. 13:1
- so that he who is setting himself against the authority, against God's ordinance hath resisted; and those resisting, to themselves shall receive judgment. Rom. 13:2
- For those ruling are not a terror to the good works, but to the evil; and dost thou wish not to be afraid of the authority? that which is good be doing, and thou shalt have praise from it, Rom. 13:3
- for of God it is a ministrant to thee for good; and if that which is evil thou mayest do, be fearing, for not in vain doth it bear the sword; for of God it is a ministrant, an avenger for wrath to him who is doing that which is evil. Rom. 13:4
- Wherefore it is necessary to be subject, not only because of the wrath, but also because of the conscience, Rom. 13:5
- render, therefore, to all their dues; to whom tribute, the tribute; to whom custom, the custom; to whom fear, the fear; to whom honour, the honour. Rom. 13:7
- To no one owe anything, except to love one another; for he who is loving the other -- law he hath fulfilled, Rom. 13:8
- the love to the neighbor doth work no ill; the love, therefore, is the fulness of law. Rom. 13:10
- And this, knowing the time, that for us, the hour already is to be aroused out of sleep, for now nearer is our salvation than when we did believe; Rom. 13:11
- the night did advance, and the day came nigh; let us lay aside, therefore, the works of the darkness, and let us put on the armour of the light; Rom. 13:12
- but put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and for the flesh take no forethought -- for desires. Rom. 13:14
- And him who is weak in the faith receive ye -- not to determinations of reasonings; Rom. 14:1
- He who is regarding the day, to the Lord he doth regard it, and he who is not regarding the day, to the Lord he doth not regard it. He who is eating, to the Lord he doth eat, for he doth give thanks to God; and he who is not eating, to the Lord he doth not eat, and doth give thanks to God. Rom. 14:6
- for both, if we may live, to the Lord we live; if also we may die, to the Lord we die; both then if we may live, also if we may die, we are the Lord's; Rom. 14:8
- And thou, why dost thou judge thy brother? or again, thou, why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand at the tribunal of the Christ; Rom. 14:10
- for it hath been written, `I live! saith the Lord -- to Me bow shall every knee, and every tongue shall confess to God;' Rom. 14:11
- no longer, therefore, may we judge one another, but this judge ye rather, not to put a stumbling-stone before the brother, or an offence. Rom. 14:13
- I have known, and am persuaded, in the Lord Jesus, that nothing is unclean of itself, except to him who is reckoning anything to be unclean -- to that one it is unclean; Rom. 14:14
- for the reign of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit; Rom. 14:17
- for he who in these things is serving the Christ, is acceptable to God and approved of men. Rom. 14:18
- So, then, the things of peace may we pursue, and the things of building up one another; Rom. 14:19
- for the sake of victuals cast not down the work of God; all things, indeed, are pure, but evil is to the man who is eating through stumbling. Rom. 14:20
- And we ought -- we who are strong -- to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves; Rom. 15:1
- for let each one of us please the neighbor for good, unto edification, Rom. 15:2
- for even the Christ did not please himself, but, according as it hath been written, `The reproaches of those reproaching Thee fell upon me;' Rom. 15:3
- for, as many things as were written before, for our instruction were written before, that through the endurance, and the exhortation of the Writings, we might have the hope. Rom. 15:4
- And may the God of the endurance, and of the exhortation, give to you to have the same mind toward one another, according to Christ Jesus; Rom. 15:5
- that with one accord -- with one mouth -- ye may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ; Rom. 15:6
- wherefore receive ye one another, according as also the Christ did receive us, to the glory of God. Rom. 15:7
- And I say Jesus Christ to have become a ministrant of circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the promises to the fathers, Rom. 15:8
- and the nations for kindness to glorify God, according as it hath been written, `Because of this I will confess to Thee among nations, and to Thy name I will sing praise,' Rom. 15:9
- and again, `Praise the Lord, all ye nations; and laud Him, all ye peoples;' Rom. 15:11
- and again, Isaiah saith, `There shall be the root of Jesse, and he who is rising to rule nations -- upon him shall nations hope;' Rom. 15:12
- and the God of the hope shall fill you with all joy and peace in the believing, for your abounding in the hope in power of the Holy Spirit. Rom. 15:13
- and the more boldly I did write to you, brethren, in part, as putting you in mind, because of the grace that is given to me by God, Rom. 15:15
- for my being a servant of Jesus Christ to the nations, acting as priest in the good news of God, that the offering up of the nations may become acceptable, sanctified by the Holy Spirit. Rom. 15:16
- I have, then, a boasting in Christ Jesus, in the things pertaining to God, Rom. 15:17
- for I will not dare to speak anything of the things that Christ did not work through me, to obedience of nations, by word and deed, Rom. 15:18
- in power of signs and wonders, in power of the Spirit of God; so that I, from Jerusalem, and in a circle as far as Illyricum, have fully preached the good news of the Christ; Rom. 15:19
- And, now, I go on to Jerusalem, ministering to the saints; Rom. 15:25
- for it pleased Macedonia and Achaia well to make a certain contribution for the poor of the saints who are in Jerusalem; Rom. 15:26
- for it pleased well, and their debtors they are, for if in their spiritual things the nations did participate, they ought also, in the fleshly things, to minister to them. Rom. 15:27
- and I have known that coming unto you -- in the fulness of the blessing of the good news of Christ I shall come. Rom. 15:29
- And I call upon you, brethren, through our Lord Jesus Christ, and through the love of the Spirit, to strive together with me in the prayers for me unto God, Rom. 15:30
- that I may be delivered from those not believing in Judea, and that my ministration, that is for Jerusalem, may become acceptable to the saints; Rom. 15:31
- that in joy I may come unto you, through the will of God, and may be refreshed with you, Rom. 15:32
- and the God of the peace be with you all. Amen. Rom. 15:33
- And I commend you to Phebe our sister -- being a ministrant of the assembly that is in Cenchrea -- Rom. 16:1
- that ye may receive her in the Lord, as doth become saints, and may assist her in whatever matter she may have need of you -- for she also became a leader of many, and of myself. Rom. 16:2
- who for my life their own neck did lay down, to whom not only I give thanks, but also all the assemblies of the nations -- Rom. 16:4
- and the assembly at their house; salute Epaenetus, my beloved, who is first-fruit of Achaia to Christ. Rom. 16:5
- salute Andronicus and Junias, my kindred, and my fellow-captives, who are of note among the apostles, who also have been in Christ before me. Rom. 16:7
- Salute Amplias, my beloved in the Lord; Rom. 16:8
- salute Apelles, the approved in Christ; salute those of the household of Aristobulus; Rom. 16:10
- salute Herodion, my kinsman; salute those of the household of Narcissus, who are in the Lord; Rom. 16:11
- salute Tryphaena, and Tryphosa, who are labouring in the Lord; salute Persis, the beloved, who did labour much in the Lord. Rom. 16:12
- Salute Rufus, the choice one in the Lord, and his mother and mine, Rom. 16:13
- salute Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hermas, Patrobas, Hermes, and the brethren with them; Rom. 16:14
- salute Philologus, and Julias, Nereus, and his sister, and Olympas, and all the saints with them; Rom. 16:15
- salute one another in a holy kiss; the assemblies of Christ do salute you. Rom. 16:16
- And I call upon you, brethren, to mark those who the divisions and the stumbling-blocks, contrary to the teaching that ye did learn, are causing, and turn ye away from them; Rom. 16:17
- for such our Lord Jesus Christ do not serve, but their own belly; and through the good word and fair speech they deceive the hearts of the harmless, Rom. 16:18
- for your obedience did reach to all; I rejoice, therefore, as regards you, and I wish you to be wise, indeed, as to the good, and harmless as to the evil; Rom. 16:19
- and the God of the peace shall bruise the Adversary under your feet quickly; the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen! Rom. 16:20
- I Tertius salute you (who wrote the letter) in the Lord; Rom. 16:22
- salute you doth Gaius, my host, and of the whole assembly; salute you doth Erastus, the steward of the city, and Quartus the brother, Rom. 16:23
- the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen. Rom. 16:24
- And to Him who is able to establish you, according to my good news, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the secret, in the times of the ages having been kept silent, Rom. 16:25
- and now having been made manifest, also, through prophetic writings, according to a command of the age-during God, having been made known to all the nations for obedience of faith -- Rom. 16:26
- to the only wise God, through Jesus Christ, to him be glory to the ages. Amen. Rom. 16:27
- Paul, a called apostle of Jesus Christ, through the will of God, and Sosthenes the brother, 1 Cor. 1:1
- to the assembly of God that is in Corinth, to those sanctified in Christ Jesus, called saints, with all those calling upon the name of our Lord Jesus Christ in every place -- both theirs and ours: 1 Cor. 1:2
- Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ! 1 Cor. 1:3
- I give thanks to my God always concerning you for the grace of God that was given to you in Christ Jesus, 1 Cor. 1:4
- according as the testimony of the Christ was confirmed in you, 1 Cor. 1:6
- so that ye are not behind in any gift, waiting for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ, 1 Cor. 1:7
- who also shall confirm you unto the end -- unblamable in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ; 1 Cor. 1:8
- faithful is God, through whom ye were called to the fellowship of His Son Jesus Christ our Lord. 1 Cor. 1:9
- And I call upon you, brethren, through the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that the same thing ye may all say, and there may not be divisions among you, and ye may be perfected in the same mind, and in the same judgment, 1 Cor. 1:10
- Hath the Christ been divided? was Paul crucified for you? or to the name of Paul were ye baptized; 1 Cor. 1:13
- For Christ did not send me to baptize, but -- to proclaim good news; not in wisdom of discourse, that the cross of the Christ may not be made of none effect; 1 Cor. 1:17
- for the word of the cross to those indeed perishing is foolishness, and to us -- those being saved -- it is the power of God, 1 Cor. 1:18
- for it hath been written, `I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the intelligence of the intelligent I will bring to nought;' 1 Cor. 1:19
- where is the wise? where the scribe? where a disputer of this age? did not God make foolish the wisdom of this world? 1 Cor. 1:20
- for, seeing in the wisdom of God the world through the wisdom knew not God, it did please God through the foolishness of the preaching to save those believing. 1 Cor. 1:21
- and to those called -- both Jews and Greeks -- Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God, 1 Cor. 1:24
- because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men; 1 Cor. 1:25
- for see your calling, brethren, that not many are wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble; 1 Cor. 1:26
- but the foolish things of the world did God choose, that the wise He may put to shame; and the weak things of the world did God choose that He may put to shame the strong; 1 Cor. 1:27
- and the base things of the world, and the things despised did God choose, and the things that are not, that the things that are He may make useless -- 1 Cor. 1:28
- that, according as it hath been written, `He who is glorying -- in the Lord let him glory.' 1 Cor. 1:31
- And I, having come unto you, brethren, came -- not in superiority of discourse or wisdom -- declaring to you the testimony of God, 1 Cor. 2:1
- and my word and my preaching was not in persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power -- 1 Cor. 2:4
- that your faith may not be in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God. 1 Cor. 2:5
- And wisdom we speak among the perfect, and wisdom not of this age, nor of the rulers of this age -- of those becoming useless, 1 Cor. 2:6
- but we speak the hidden wisdom of God in a secret, that God foreordained before the ages to our glory, 1 Cor. 2:7
- which no one of the rulers of this age did know, for if they had known, the Lord of the glory they would not have crucified; 1 Cor. 2:8
- but, according as it hath been written, `What eye did not see, and ear did not hear, and upon the heart of man came not up, what God did prepare for those loving Him --' 1 Cor. 2:9
- but to us did God reveal them through His Spirit, for the Spirit all things doth search, even the depths of God, 1 Cor. 2:10
- for who of men hath known the things of the man, except the spirit of the man that is in him? so also the things of God no one hath known, except the Spirit of God. 1 Cor. 2:11
- And we the spirit of the world did not receive, but the Spirit that is of God, that we may know the things conferred by God on us, 1 Cor. 2:12
- which things also we speak, not in words taught by human wisdom, but in those taught by the Holy Spirit, with spiritual things spiritual things comparing, 1 Cor. 2:13
- and the natural man doth not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for to him they are foolishness, and he is not able to know them, because spiritually they are discerned; 1 Cor. 2:14
- for who did know the mind of the Lord that he shall instruct Him? and we -- we have the mind of Christ. 1 Cor. 2:16
- for yet ye are fleshly, for where there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not fleshly, and in the manner of men do walk? 1 Cor. 3:3
- Who, then, is Paul, and who Apollos, but ministrants through whom ye did believe, and to each as the Lord gave? 1 Cor. 3:5
- According to the grace of God that was given to me, as a wise master-builder, a foundation I have laid, and another doth build on it, 1 Cor. 3:10
- for other foundation no one is able to lay except that which is laid, which is Jesus the Christ; 1 Cor. 3:11
- of each the work shall become manifest, for the day shall declare it, because in fire it is revealed, and the work of each, what kind it is, the fire shall prove; 1 Cor. 3:13
- if of any one the work doth remain that he built on it, a wage he shall receive; 1 Cor. 3:14
- if of any the work is burned up, he shall suffer loss; and himself shall be saved, but so as through fire. 1 Cor. 3:15
- have ye not known that ye are a sanctuary of God, and the Spirit of God doth dwell in you? 1 Cor. 3:16
- if any one the sanctuary of God doth waste, him shall God waste; for the sanctuary of God is holy, the which ye are. 1 Cor. 3:17
- for the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God, for it hath been written, `Who is taking the wise in their craftiness;' 1 Cor. 3:19
- and again, `The Lord doth know the reasonings of the wise, that they are vain.' 1 Cor. 3:20
- whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things about to be -- all are yours, 1 Cor. 3:22
- Let a man so reckon us as officers of Christ, and stewards of the secrets of God, 1 Cor. 4:1
- and as to the rest, it is required in the stewards that one may be found faithful, 1 Cor. 4:2
- for of nothing to myself have I been conscious, but not in this have I been declared right -- and he who is discerning me is the Lord: 1 Cor. 4:4
- so, then, nothing before the time judge ye, till the Lord may come, who will both bring to light the hidden things of the darkness, and will manifest the counsels of the hearts, and then the praise shall come to each from God. 1 Cor. 4:5
- And these things, brethren, I did transfer to myself and to Apollos because of you, that in us ye may learn not to think above that which hath been written, that ye may not be puffed up one for one against the other, 1 Cor. 4:6
- for I think that God did set forth us the apostles last -- as appointed to death, because a spectacle we became to the world, and messengers, and men; 1 Cor. 4:9
- unto the present hour we both hunger, and thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted, and wander about, 1 Cor. 4:11
- being spoken evil of, we entreat; as filth of the world we did become -- of all things an offscouring -- till now. 1 Cor. 4:13
- for if a myriad of child-conductors ye may have in Christ, yet not many fathers; for in Christ Jesus, through the good news, I -- I did beget you; 1 Cor. 4:15
- because of this I sent to you Timotheus, who is my child, beloved and faithful in the Lord, who shall remind you of my ways in Christ, according as everywhere in every assembly I teach. 1 Cor. 4:17
- but I will come quickly unto you, if the Lord may will, and I will know not the word of those puffed up, but the power; 1 Cor. 4:19
- for not in word is the reign of God, but in power? 1 Cor. 4:20
- Whoredom is actually heard of among you, and such whoredom as is not even named among the nations -- as that one hath the wife of the father! -- 1 Cor. 5:1
- and ye are having been puffed up, and did not rather mourn, that he may be removed out of the midst of you who did this work, 1 Cor. 5:2
- for I indeed, as being absent as to the body, and present as to the spirit, have already judged, as being present, him who so wrought this thing: 1 Cor. 5:3
- in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ -- ye being gathered together, also my spirit -- with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ, 1 Cor. 5:4
- to deliver up such a one to the Adversary for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus. 1 Cor. 5:5
- Not good is your glorying; have ye not known that a little leaven the whole lump doth leaven? 1 Cor. 5:6
- cleanse out, therefore, the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, according as ye are unleavened, for also our passover for us was sacrificed -- Christ, 1 Cor. 5:7
- so that we may keep the feast, not with old leaven, nor with the leaven of evil and wickedness, but with unleavened food of sincerity and truth. 1 Cor. 5:8
- I did write to you in the epistle, not to keep company with whoremongers -- 1 Cor. 5:9
- and not certainly with the whoremongers of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or idolaters, seeing ye ought then to go forth out of the world -- 1 Cor. 5:10
- and those without God doth judge; and put ye away the evil from among yourselves. 1 Cor. 5:13
- Dare any one of you, having a matter with the other, go to be judged before the unrighteous, and not before the saints? 1 Cor. 6:1
- have ye not known that the saints shall judge the world? and if by you the world is judged, are ye unworthy of the smaller judgments? 1 Cor. 6:2
- have ye not known that we shall judge messengers? why not then the things of life? 1 Cor. 6:3
- of the things of life, indeed, then, if ye may have judgment, those despised in the assembly -- these cause ye to sit; 1 Cor. 6:4
- unto your shame I speak: so there is not among you one wise man, not even one, who shall be able to discern in the midst of his brethren! 1 Cor. 6:5
- have ye not known that the unrighteous the reign of God shall not inherit? be not led astray; neither whoremongers, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor sodomites, 1 Cor. 6:9
- nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, the reign of God shall inherit. 1 Cor. 6:10
- And certain of you were these! but ye were washed, but ye were sanctified, but ye were declared righteous, in the name of the Lord Jesus, and in the Spirit of our God. 1 Cor. 6:11
- the meats are for the belly, and the belly for the meats. And God both this and these shall make useless; and the body is not for whoredom, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body; 1 Cor. 6:13
- and God both the Lord did raise, and us will raise up through His power. 1 Cor. 6:14
- Have ye not known that your bodies are members of Christ? having taken, then, the members of the Christ, shall I make them members of an harlot? let it be not! 1 Cor. 6:15
- have ye not known that he who is joined to the harlot is one body? `for they shall be -- saith He -- the two for one flesh.' 1 Cor. 6:16
- And he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit; 1 Cor. 6:17
- flee the whoredom; every sin -- whatever a man may commit -- is without the body, and he who is committing whoredom, against his own body doth sin. 1 Cor. 6:18
- Have ye not known that your body is a sanctuary of the Holy Spirit in you, which ye have from God? and ye are not your own, 1 Cor. 6:19
- And concerning the things of which ye wrote to me: good it is for a man not to touch a woman, 1 Cor. 7:1
- and because of the whoredom let each man have his own wife, and let each woman have her proper husband; 1 Cor. 7:2
- to the wife let the husband the due benevolence render, and in like manner also the wife to the husband; 1 Cor. 7:3
- the wife over her own body hath not authority, but the husband; and, in like manner also, the husband over his own body hath not authority, but the wife. 1 Cor. 7:4
- Defraud not one another, except by consent for a time, that ye may be free for fasting and prayer, and again may come together, that the Adversary may not tempt you because of your incontinence; 1 Cor. 7:5
- And I say to the unmarried and to the widows: it is good for them if they may remain even as I am; 1 Cor. 7:8
- and to the married I announce -- not I, but the Lord -- let not a wife separate from a husband: 1 Cor. 7:10
- but and if she may separate, let her remain unmarried, or to the husband let her be reconciled, and let not a husband send away a wife. 1 Cor. 7:11
- And to the rest I speak -- not the Lord -- if any brother hath a wife unbelieving, and she is pleased to dwell with him, let him not send her away; 1 Cor. 7:12
- for the unbelieving husband hath been sanctified in the wife, and the unbelieving wife hath been sanctified in the husband; otherwise your children are unclean, but now they are holy. 1 Cor. 7:14
- And, if the unbelieving doth separate himself -- let him separate himself: the brother or the sister is not under servitude in such cases, and in peace hath God called us; 1 Cor. 7:15
- for what, hast thou known, O wife, whether the husband thou shalt save? or what, hast thou known, O husband, whether the wife thou shalt save? 1 Cor. 7:16
- if not, as God did distribute to each, as the Lord hath called each -- so let him walk; and thus in all the assemblies do I direct: 1 Cor. 7:17
- the circumcision is nothing, and the uncircumcision is nothing -- but a keeping of the commands of God. 1 Cor. 7:19
- Each in the calling in which he was called -- in this let him remain; 1 Cor. 7:20
- for he who is in the Lord -- having been called a servant -- is the Lord's freedman: in like manner also he the freeman, having been called, is servant of Christ: 1 Cor. 7:22
- And concerning the virgins, a command of the Lord I have not; and I give judgment as having obtained kindness from the Lord to be faithful: 1 Cor. 7:25
- I suppose, therefore, this to be good because of the present necessity, that it is good for a man that the matter be thus: -- 1 Cor. 7:26
- But and if thou mayest marry, thou didst not sin; and if the virgin may marry, she did not sin; and such shall have tribulation in the flesh: and I spare you. 1 Cor. 7:28
- And this I say, brethren, the time henceforth is having been shortened -- that both those having wives may be as not having; 1 Cor. 7:29
- and those using this world, as not using it up; for passing away is the fashion of this world. 1 Cor. 7:31
- And I wish you to be without anxiety; the unmarried is anxious for the things of the Lord, how he shall please the Lord; 1 Cor. 7:32
- and the married is anxious for the things of the world, how he shall please the wife. 1 Cor. 7:33
- The wife and the virgin have been distinguished: the unmarried is anxious for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit, and the married is anxious for the things of the world, how she shall please the husband. 1 Cor. 7:34
- And this for your own profit I say: not that I may cast a noose upon you, but for the seemliness and devotedness to the Lord, undistractedly, 1 Cor. 7:35
- and if any one doth think it to be unseemly to his virgin, if she may be beyond the bloom of age, and it ought so to be, what he willeth let him do; he doth not sin -- let him marry. 1 Cor. 7:36
- And he who hath stood stedfast in the heart -- not having necessity -- and hath authority over his own will, and this he hath determined in his heart -- to keep his own virgin -- doth well; 1 Cor. 7:37
- A wife hath been bound by law as long time as her husband may live, and if her husband may sleep, she is free to be married to whom she will -- only in the Lord; 1 Cor. 7:39
- and she is happier if she may so remain -- according to my judgment; and I think I also have the Spirit of God. 1 Cor. 7:40
- And concerning the things sacrificed to idols, we have known that we all have knowledge: knowledge puffeth up, but love buildeth up; 1 Cor. 8:1
- Concerning the eating then of the things sacrificed to idols, we have known that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is no other God except one; 1 Cor. 8:4
- yet to us is one God, the Father, of whom are the all things, and we to Him; and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are the all things, and we through Him; 1 Cor. 8:6
- but not in all men is the knowledge, and certain with conscience of the idol, till now, as a thing sacrificed to an idol do eat it, and their conscience, being weak, is defiled. 1 Cor. 8:7
- but see, lest this privilege of yours may become a stumbling-block to the infirm, 1 Cor. 8:9
- for if any one may see thee that hast knowledge in an idol's temple reclining at meat -- shall not his conscience -- he being infirm -- be emboldened to eat the things sacrificed to idols, 1 Cor. 8:10
- and the brother who is infirm shall perish by thy knowledge, because of whom Christ died? 1 Cor. 8:11
- and thus sinning in regard to the brethren, and smiting their weak conscience -- in regard to Christ ye sin; 1 Cor. 8:12
- wherefore, if victuals cause my brother to stumble, I may eat no flesh -- to the age -- that my brother I may not cause to stumble. 1 Cor. 8:13
- Am not I an apostle? am not I free? Jesus Christ our Lord have I not seen? my work are not ye in the Lord? 1 Cor. 9:1
- if to others I am not an apostle -- yet doubtless to you I am; for the seal of my apostleship are ye in the Lord. 1 Cor. 9:2
- have we not authority a sister -- a wife -- to lead about, as also the other apostles, and the brethren of the Lord, and Cephas? 1 Cor. 9:5
- who doth serve as a soldier at his own charges at any time? who doth plant a vineyard, and of its fruit doth not eat? or who doth feed a flock, and of the milk of the flock doth not eat? 1 Cor. 9:7
- According to man do I speak these things? or doth not also the law say these things? 1 Cor. 9:8
- for in the law of Moses it hath been written, `thou shalt not muzzle an ox treading out corn;' for the oxen doth God care? 1 Cor. 9:9
- or because of us by all means doth He say it? yes, because of us it was written, because in hope ought the plower to plow, and he who is treading ought of his hope to partake in hope. 1 Cor. 9:10
- If we to you the spiritual things did sow -- great is it if we your fleshly things do reap? 1 Cor. 9:11
- if others do partake of the authority over you -- not we more? but we did not use this authority, but all things we bear, that we may give no hindrance to the good news of the Christ. 1 Cor. 9:12
- Have ye not known that those working about the things of the temple -- of the temple do eat, and those waiting at the altar -- with the altar are partakers? 1 Cor. 9:13
- so also did the Lord direct to those proclaiming the good news: of the good news to live. 1 Cor. 9:14
- What, then, is my reward? -- that proclaiming good news, without charge I shall make the good news of the Christ, not to abuse my authority in the good news; 1 Cor. 9:18
- for being free from all men, to all men I made myself servant, that the more I might gain; 1 Cor. 9:19
- and I became to the Jews as a Jew, that Jews I might gain; to those under law as under law, that those under law I might gain; 1 Cor. 9:20
- I became to the infirm as infirm, that the infirm I might gain; to all men I have become all things, that by all means I may save some. 1 Cor. 9:22
- And this I do because of the good news, that a fellow-partaker of it I may become; 1 Cor. 9:23
- have ye not known that those running in a race -- all indeed run, but one doth receive the prize? so run ye, that ye may obtain; 1 Cor. 9:24
- And I do not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea, 1 Cor. 10:1
- and all to Moses were baptized in the cloud, and in the sea; 1 Cor. 10:2
- and all the same spiritual food did eat, 1 Cor. 10:3
- and all the same spiritual drink did drink, for they were drinking of a spiritual rock following them, and the rock was the Christ; 1 Cor. 10:4
- but in the most of them God was not well pleased, for they were strewn in the wilderness, 1 Cor. 10:5
- Neither become ye idolaters, as certain of them, as it hath been written, `The people sat down to eat and to drink, and stood up to play;' 1 Cor. 10:7
- neither may we tempt the Christ, as also certain of them did tempt, and by the serpents did perish; 1 Cor. 10:9
- neither murmur ye, as also some of them did murmur, and did perish by the destroyer. 1 Cor. 10:10
- And all these things as types did happen to those persons, and they were written for our admonition, to whom the end of the ages did come, 1 Cor. 10:11
- No temptation hath taken you -- except human; and God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above what ye are able, but He will make, with the temptation, also the outlet, for your being able to bear it. 1 Cor. 10:13
- Wherefore, my beloved, flee from the idolatry; 1 Cor. 10:14
- The cup of the blessing that we bless -- is it not the fellowship of the blood of the Christ? the bread that we break -- is it not the fellowship of the body of the Christ? 1 Cor. 10:16
- because one bread, one body, are we the many -- for we all of the one bread do partake. 1 Cor. 10:17
- See Israel according to the flesh! are not those eating the sacrifices in the fellowship of the altar? 1 Cor. 10:18
- no, but that the things that the nations sacrifice -- they sacrifice to demons and not to God; and I do not wish you to come into the fellowship of the demons. 1 Cor. 10:20
- Ye are not able the cup of the Lord to drink, and the cup of demons; ye are not able of the table of the Lord to partake, and of the table of demons; 1 Cor. 10:21
- do we arouse the Lord to jealousy? are we stronger than He? 1 Cor. 10:22
- Whatever in the meat-market is sold eat ye, not inquiring, because of the conscience, 1 Cor. 10:25
- for the Lord's is the earth, and its fulness; 1 Cor. 10:26
- and if any one of the unbelieving do call you, and ye wish to go, all that is set before you eat, nothing inquiring, because of the conscience; 1 Cor. 10:27
- and if any one may say to you, `This is a thing sacrificed to an idol,' -- do not eat, because of that one who shewed it, and of the conscience, for the Lord's is the earth and its fulness: 1 Cor. 10:28
- and conscience, I say, not of thyself, but of the other, for why is it that my liberty is judged by another's conscience? 1 Cor. 10:29
- Whether, then, ye eat, or drink, or do anything, do all to the glory of God; 1 Cor. 10:31
- become offenceless, both to Jews and Greeks, and to the assembly of God; 1 Cor. 10:32
- And I praise you, brethren, that in all things ye remember me, and according as I did deliver to you, the deliverances ye keep, 1 Cor. 11:2
- and I wish you to know that of every man the head is the Christ, and the head of a woman is the husband, and the head of Christ is God. 1 Cor. 11:3
- Every man praying or prophesying, having the head covered, doth dishonour his head, 1 Cor. 11:4
- and every woman praying or prophesying with the head uncovered, doth dishonour her own head, for it is one and the same thing with her being shaven, 1 Cor. 11:5
- for a man, indeed, ought not to cover the head, being the image and glory of God, and a woman is the glory of a man, 1 Cor. 11:7
- for a man also was not created because of the woman, but a woman because of the man; 1 Cor. 11:9
- because of this the woman ought to have a token of authority upon the head, because of the messengers; 1 Cor. 11:10
- but neither is a man apart from a woman, nor a woman apart from a man, in the Lord, 1 Cor. 11:11
- for as the woman is of the man, so also the man is through the woman, and the all things are of God. 1 Cor. 11:12
- and a woman, if she have long hair, a glory it is to her, because the hair instead of a covering hath been given to her; 1 Cor. 11:15
- and if any one doth think to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither the assemblies of God. 1 Cor. 11:16
- And this declaring, I give no praise, because not for the better, but for the worse ye come together; 1 Cor. 11:17
- ye, then, coming together at the same place -- it is not to eat the Lord's supper; 1 Cor. 11:20
- for each his own supper doth take before in the eating, and one is hungry, and another is drunk; 1 Cor. 11:21
- why, have ye not houses to eat and to drink in? or the assembly of God do ye despise, and shame those not having? what may I say to you? shall I praise you in this? I do not praise! 1 Cor. 11:22
- For I -- I received from the Lord that which also I did deliver to you, that the Lord Jesus in the night in which he was delivered up, took bread, 1 Cor. 11:23
- and having given thanks, he brake, and said, `Take ye, eat ye, this is my body, that for you is being broken; this do ye -- to the remembrance of me.' 1 Cor. 11:24
- In like manner also the cup after the supping, saying, `This cup is the new covenant in my blood; this do ye, as often as ye may drink it -- to the remembrance of me;' 1 Cor. 11:25
- for as often as ye may eat this bread, and this cup may drink, the death of the Lord ye do shew forth -- till he may come; 1 Cor. 11:26
- so that whoever may eat this bread or may drink the cup of the Lord unworthily, guilty he shall be of the body and blood of the Lord: 1 Cor. 11:27
- and let a man be proving himself, and so of the bread let him eat, and of the cup let him drink; 1 Cor. 11:28
- for he who is eating and drinking unworthily, judgment to himself he doth eat and drink -- not discerning the body of the Lord. 1 Cor. 11:29
- and being judged by the Lord, we are chastened, that with the world we may not be condemned; 1 Cor. 11:32
- and if any one is hungry, at home let him eat, that to judgment ye may not come together; and the rest, whenever I may come, I shall arrange. 1 Cor. 11:34
- And concerning the spiritual things, brethren, I do not wish you to be ignorant; 1 Cor. 12:1
- ye have known that ye were nations, unto the dumb idols -- as ye were led -- being carried away; 1 Cor. 12:2
- wherefore, I give you to understand that no one, in the Spirit of God speaking, saith Jesus is anathema, and no one is able to say Jesus is Lord, except in the Holy Spirit. 1 Cor. 12:3
- And there are diversities of gifts, and the same Spirit; 1 Cor. 12:4
- and there are diversities of ministrations, and the same Lord; 1 Cor. 12:5
- and there are diversities of workings, and it is the same God -- who is working the all in all. 1 Cor. 12:6
- And to each hath been given the manifestation of the Spirit for profit; 1 Cor. 12:7
- for to one through the Spirit hath been given a word of wisdom, and to another a word of knowledge, according to the same Spirit; 1 Cor. 12:8
- and to another faith in the same Spirit, and to another gifts of healings in the same Spirit; 1 Cor. 12:9
- and all these doth work the one and the same Spirit, dividing to each severally as he intendeth. 1 Cor. 12:11
- For, even as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of the one body, being many, are one body, so also is the Christ, 1 Cor. 12:12
- for also the body is not one member, but many; 1 Cor. 12:14
- if the foot may say, `Because I am not a hand, I am not of the body;' it is not, because of this, not of the body; 1 Cor. 12:15
- and if the ear may say, `Because I am not an eye, I am not of the body;' it is not, because of this, not of the body? 1 Cor. 12:16
- If the whole body were an eye, where the hearing? if the whole hearing, where the smelling? 1 Cor. 12:17
- and now, God did set the members each one of them in the body, according as He willed, 1 Cor. 12:18
- and if all were one member, where the body? 1 Cor. 12:19
- and an eye is not able to say to the hand, `I have no need of thee;' nor again the head to the feet, `I have no need of you.' 1 Cor. 12:21
- But much more the members of the body which seem to be more infirm are necessary, 1 Cor. 12:22
- and those that we think to be less honourable of the body, around these we put more abundant honour, and our unseemly things have seemliness more abundant, 1 Cor. 12:23
- and our seemly things have no need; but God did temper the body together, to the lacking part having given more abundant honour, 1 Cor. 12:24
- that there may be no division in the body, but that the members may have the same anxiety for one another, 1 Cor. 12:25
- and whether one member doth suffer, suffer with it do all the members, or one member is glorified, rejoice with it do all the members; 1 Cor. 12:26
- and ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular. 1 Cor. 12:27
- And some, indeed, did God set in the assembly, first apostles, secondly prophets, thirdly teachers, afterwards powers, afterwards gifts of healings, helpings, governings, divers kinds of tongues; 1 Cor. 12:28
- and desire earnestly the better gifts; and yet a far excelling way do I shew to you: 1 Cor. 12:31
- If with the tongues of men and of messengers I speak, and have not love, I have become brass sounding, or a cymbal tinkling; 1 Cor. 13:1
- and if I have prophecy, and know all the secrets, and all the knowledge, and if I have all the faith, so as to remove mountains, and have not love, I am nothing; 1 Cor. 13:2
- The love is long-suffering, it is kind, the love doth not envy, the love doth not vaunt itself, is not puffed up, 1 Cor. 13:4
- rejoiceth not over the unrighteousness, and rejoiceth with the truth; 1 Cor. 13:6
- The love doth never fail; and whether there be prophecies, they shall become useless; whether tongues, they shall cease; whether knowledge, it shall become useless; 1 Cor. 13:8
- When I was a babe, as a babe I was speaking, as a babe I was thinking, as a babe I was reasoning, and when I have become a man, I have made useless the things of the babe; 1 Cor. 13:11
- and now there doth remain faith, hope, love -- these three; and the greatest of these is love. 1 Cor. 13:13
- Pursue the love, and seek earnestly the spiritual things, and rather that ye may prophecy, 1 Cor. 14:1
- and I wish you all to speak with tongues, and more that ye may prophecy, for greater is he who is prophesying than he who is speaking with tongues, except one may interpret, that the assembly may receive edification. 1 Cor. 14:5
- yet the things without life giving sound -- whether pipe or harp -- if a difference in the sounds they may not give, how shall be known that which is piped or that which is harped? 1 Cor. 14:7
- so also ye, if through the tongue, speech easily understood ye may not give -- how shall that which is spoken be known? for ye shall be speaking to air. 1 Cor. 14:9
- There are, it may be, so many kinds of voices in the world, and none of them is unmeaning, 1 Cor. 14:10
- if, then, I do not know the power of the voice, I shall be to him who is speaking a foreigner, and he who is speaking, is to me a foreigner; 1 Cor. 14:11
- so also ye, since ye are earnestly desirous of spiritual gifts, for the building up of the assembly seek that ye may abound; 1 Cor. 14:12
- What then is it? I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray also with the understanding; I will sing psalms with the spirit, and I will sing psalms also with the understanding; 1 Cor. 14:15
- since, if thou mayest bless with the spirit, he who is filling the place of the unlearned, how shall he say the Amen at thy giving of thanks, since what thou dost say he hath not known? 1 Cor. 14:16
- for thou, indeed, dost give thanks well, but the other is not built up! 1 Cor. 14:17
- Brethren, become not children in the understanding, but in the evil be ye babes, and in the understanding become ye perfect; 1 Cor. 14:20
- in the law it hath been written, that, `With other tongues and with other lips I will speak to this people, and not even so will they hear Me, saith the Lord;' 1 Cor. 14:21
- so that the tongues are for a sign, not to the believing, but to the unbelieving; and the prophesy is not for the unbelieving, but for the believing, 1 Cor. 14:22
- If, therefore, the whole assembly may come together, to the same place, and all may speak with tongues, and there may come in unlearned or unbelievers, will they not say that ye are mad? 1 Cor. 14:23
- and so the secrets of his heart become manifest, and so having fallen upon his face, he will bow before God, declaring that God really is among you. 1 Cor. 14:25
- if an unknown tongue any one do speak, by two, or at the most, by three, and in turn, and let one interpret; 1 Cor. 14:27
- And prophets -- let two or three speak, and let the others discern, 1 Cor. 14:29
- and if to another sitting anything may be revealed, let the first be silent; 1 Cor. 14:30
- and the spiritual gift of prophets to prophets are subject, 1 Cor. 14:32
- for God is not a God of tumult, but of peace, as in all the assemblies of the saints. 1 Cor. 14:33
- Your women in the assemblies let them be silent, for it hath not been permitted to them to speak, but to be subject, as also the law saith; 1 Cor. 14:34
- From you did the word of God come forth? or to you alone did it come? 1 Cor. 14:36
- if any one doth think to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him acknowledge the things that I write to you -- that of the Lord they are commands; 1 Cor. 14:37
- And I make known to you, brethren, the good news that I proclaimed to you, which also ye did receive, in which also ye have stood, 1 Cor. 15:1
- for I delivered to you first, what also I did receive, that Christ died for our sins, according to the Writings, 1 Cor. 15:3
- and that he was buried, and that he hath risen on the third day, according to the Writings, 1 Cor. 15:4
- and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve, 1 Cor. 15:5
- afterwards he appeared to above five hundred brethren at once, of whom the greater part remain till now, and certain also did fall asleep; 1 Cor. 15:6
- afterwards he appeared to James, then to all the apostles. 1 Cor. 15:7
- And last of all -- as to the untimely birth -- he appeared also to me, 1 Cor. 15:8
- for I am the least of the apostles, who am not worthy to be called an apostle, because I did persecute the assembly of God, 1 Cor. 15:9
- and by the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace that is towards me came not in vain, but more abundantly than they all did I labour, yet not I, but the grace of God that is with me; 1 Cor. 15:10
- And if Christ is preached, that out of the dead he hath risen, how say certain among you, that there is no rising again of dead persons? 1 Cor. 15:12
- and we also are found false witnesses of God, because we did testify of God that He raised up the Christ, whom He did not raise if then dead persons do not rise; 1 Cor. 15:15
- And now, Christ hath risen out of the dead -- the first-fruits of those sleeping he became, 1 Cor. 15:20
- for since through man is the death, also through man is a rising again of the dead, 1 Cor. 15:21
- for even as in Adam all die, so also in the Christ all shall be made alive, 1 Cor. 15:22
- and each in his proper order, a first-fruit Christ, afterwards those who are the Christ's, in his presence, 1 Cor. 15:23
- then -- the end, when he may deliver up the reign to God, even the Father, when he may have made useless all rule, and all authority and power -- 1 Cor. 15:24
- for it behoveth him to reign till he may have put all the enemies under his feet -- 1 Cor. 15:25
- the last enemy is done away -- death; 1 Cor. 15:26
- for all things He did put under his feet, and, when one may say that all things have been subjected, it is evident that He is excepted who did subject the all things to him, 1 Cor. 15:27
- and when the all things may be subjected to him, then the Son also himself shall be subject to Him, who did subject to him the all things, that God may be the all in all. 1 Cor. 15:28
- Seeing what shall they do who are baptized for the dead, if the dead do not rise at all? why also are they baptized for the dead? 1 Cor. 15:29
- Every day do I die, by the glorying of you that I have in Christ Jesus our Lord: 1 Cor. 15:31
- if after the manner of a man with wild beasts I fought in Ephesus, what the advantage to me if the dead do not rise? let us eat and drink, for to-morrow we die! 1 Cor. 15:32
- But some one will say, `How do the dead rise? 1 Cor. 15:35
- and that which thou dost sow, not the body that shall be dost thou sow, but bare grain, it may be of wheat, or of some one of the others, 1 Cor. 15:37
- and God doth give to it a body according as He willed, and to each of the seeds its proper body. 1 Cor. 15:38
- All flesh is not the same flesh, but there is one flesh of men, and another flesh of beasts, and another of fishes, and another of birds; 1 Cor. 15:39
- and there are heavenly bodies, and earthly bodies; but one is the glory of the heavenly, and another that of the earthly; 1 Cor. 15:40
- So also is the rising again of the dead: it is sown in corruption, it is raised in incorruption; 1 Cor. 15:42
- so also it hath been written, `The first man Adam became a living creature,' the last Adam is for a life-giving spirit, 1 Cor. 15:45
- The first man is out of the earth, earthy; the second man is the Lord out of heaven; 1 Cor. 15:47
- as is the earthy, such are also the earthy; and as is the heavenly, such are also the heavenly; 1 Cor. 15:48
- and, according as we did bear the image of the earthy, we shall bear also the image of the heavenly. 1 Cor. 15:49
- And this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood the reign of God is not able to inherit, nor doth the corruption inherit the incorruption; 1 Cor. 15:50
- in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, in the last trumpet, for it shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we -- we shall be changed: 1 Cor. 15:52
- and when this corruptible may have put on incorruption, and this mortal may have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the word that hath been written, `The Death was swallowed up -- to victory; 1 Cor. 15:54
- and the sting of the death is the sin, and the power of the sin the law; 1 Cor. 15:56
- and to God -- thanks, to Him who is giving us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ; 1 Cor. 15:57
- so that, my brethren beloved, become ye stedfast, unmovable, abounding in the work of the Lord at all times, knowing that your labour is not vain in the Lord. 1 Cor. 15:58
- And concerning the collection that is for the saints, as I directed to the assemblies of Galatia, so also ye -- do ye; 1 Cor. 16:1
- on every first day of the week, let each one of you lay by him, treasuring up whatever he may have prospered, that when I may come then collections may not be made; 1 Cor. 16:2
- for I do not wish to see you now in the passing, but I hope to remain a certain time with you, if the Lord may permit; 1 Cor. 16:7
- and I will remain in Ephesus till the Pentecost, 1 Cor. 16:8
- And if Timotheus may come, see that he may become without fear with you, for the work of the Lord he doth work, even as I, 1 Cor. 16:10
- no one, then, may despise him; and send ye him forward in peace, that he may come to me, for I expect him with the brethren; 1 Cor. 16:11
- and concerning Apollos our brother, much I did entreat him that he may come unto you with the brethren, and it was not at all his will that he may come now, and he will come when he may find convenient. 1 Cor. 16:12
- Watch ye, stand in the faith; be men, be strong; 1 Cor. 16:13
- And I entreat you, brethren, ye have known the household of Stephanas, that it is the first-fruit of Achaia, and to the ministration to the saints they did set themselves -- 1 Cor. 16:15
- and I rejoice over the presence of Stephanas, and Fortunatus, and Achaicus, because the lack of you did these fill up; 1 Cor. 16:17
- Salute you do the assemblies of Asia; salute you much in the Lord do Aquilas and Priscilla, with the assembly in their house; 1 Cor. 16:19
- salute you do all the brethren; salute ye one another in an holy kiss. 1 Cor. 16:20
- The salutation of me Paul with my hand; 1 Cor. 16:21
- if any one doth not love the Lord Jesus Christ -- let him be anathema! The Lord hath come! 1 Cor. 16:22
- The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ is with you; 1 Cor. 16:23
- Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ, through the will of God, and Timotheus the brother, to the assembly of God that is in Corinth, with all the saints who are in all Achaia: 2 Cor. 1:1
- Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ! 2 Cor. 1:2
- Blessed is God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of the mercies, and God of all comfort, 2 Cor. 1:3
- who is comforting us in all our tribulation, for our being able to comfort those in any tribulation through the comfort with which we are comforted ourselves by God; 2 Cor. 1:4
- because, as the sufferings of the Christ do abound to us, so through the Christ doth abound also our comfort; 2 Cor. 1:5
- and whether we be in tribulation, it is for your comfort and salvation, that is wrought in the enduring of the same sufferings that we also suffer; whether we are comforted, it is for your comfort and salvation; 2 Cor. 1:6
- and our hope is stedfast for you, knowing that even as ye are partakers of the sufferings -- so also of the comfort. 2 Cor. 1:7
- but we ourselves in ourselves the sentence of the death have had, that we may not be trusting on ourselves, but on God, who is raising the dead, 2 Cor. 1:9
- ye working together also for us by your supplication, that the gift through many persons to us, through many may be thankfully acknowledged for us. 2 Cor. 1:11
- For our glorying is this: the testimony of our conscience, that in simplicity and sincerity of God, not in fleshly wisdom, but in the grace of God, we did conduct ourselves in the world, and more abundantly toward you; 2 Cor. 1:12
- for no other things do we write to you, but what ye either do read or also acknowledge, and I hope that also unto the end ye shall acknowledge, 2 Cor. 1:13
- according as also ye did acknowledge us in part, that your glory we are, even as also ye are ours, in the day of the Lord Jesus; 2 Cor. 1:14
- This, therefore, counselling, did I then use the lightness; or the things that I counsel, according to the flesh do I counsel, that it may be with me Yes, yes, and No, no? 2 Cor. 1:17
- for the Son of God, Jesus Christ, among you through us having been preached -- through me and Silvanus and Timotheus -- did not become Yes and No, but in him it hath become Yes; 2 Cor. 1:19
- for as many as are promises of God, in him are the Yes, and in him the Amen, for glory to God through us; 2 Cor. 1:20
- who also sealed us, and gave the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts. 2 Cor. 1:22
- not that we are lords over your faith, but we are workers together with your joy, for by the faith ye stand. 2 Cor. 1:24
- for out of much tribulation and pressure of heart I wrote to you through many tears, not that ye might be made sorry, but that ye might know the love that I have more abundantly toward you. 2 Cor. 2:4
- sufficient to such a one is this punishment, that is by the more part, 2 Cor. 2:6
- so that, on the contrary, it is rather for you to forgive and to comfort, lest by over abundant sorrow such a one may be swallowed up; 2 Cor. 2:7
- for, for this also did I write, that I might know the proof of you, whether in regard to all things ye are obedient. 2 Cor. 2:9
- And to whom ye forgive anything -- I also; for I also, if I have forgiven anything, to whom I have forgiven it, because of you -- in the person of Christ -- I forgive it, 2 Cor. 2:10
- that we may not be over-reached by the Adversary, for of his devices we are not ignorant. 2 Cor. 2:11
- And having come to Troas for the good news of the Christ, and a door to me having been opened in the Lord, 2 Cor. 2:12
- and to God are thanks, who at all times is leading us in triumph in the Christ, and the fragrance of His knowledge He is manifesting through us in every place, 2 Cor. 2:14
- to the one, indeed, a fragrance of death to death, and to the other, a fragrance of life to life; and for these things who is sufficient? 2 Cor. 2:16
- for we are not as the many, adulterating the word of God, but as of sincerity -- but as of God; in the presence of God, in Christ we do speak. 2 Cor. 2:17
- manifested that ye are a letter of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God, not in the tablets of stone, but in fleshy tablets of the heart, 2 Cor. 3:3
- and such trust we have through the Christ toward God, 2 Cor. 3:4
- who also made us sufficient to be ministrants of a new covenant, not of letter, but of spirit; for the letter doth kill, and the spirit doth make alive. 2 Cor. 3:6
- and if the ministration of the death, in letters, engraved in stones, came in glory, so that the sons of Israel were not able to look stedfastly to the face of Moses, because of the glory of his face -- which was being made useless, 2 Cor. 3:7
- how shall the ministration of the Spirit not be more in glory? 2 Cor. 3:8
- for if the ministration of the condemnation is glory, much more doth the ministration of the righteousness abound in glory; 2 Cor. 3:9
- for also even that which hath been glorious, hath not been glorious -- in this respect, because of the superior glory; 2 Cor. 3:10
- and are not as Moses, who was putting a vail upon his own face, for the sons of Israel not stedfastly to look to the end of that which is being made useless, 2 Cor. 3:13
- but their minds were hardened, for unto this day the same vail at the reading of the Old Covenant doth remain unwithdrawn -- which in Christ is being made useless -- 2 Cor. 3:14
- and whenever they may turn unto the Lord, the vail is taken away. 2 Cor. 3:16
- And the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty; 2 Cor. 3:17
- and we all, with unvailed face, the glory of the Lord beholding in a mirror, to the same image are being transformed, from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord. 2 Cor. 3:18
- but did renounce for ourselves the hidden things of shame, not walking in craftiness, nor deceitfully using the word of God, but by the manifestation of the truth recommending ourselves unto every conscience of men, before God; 2 Cor. 4:2
- in whom the god of this age did blind the minds of the unbelieving, that there doth not shine forth to them the enlightening of the good news of the glory of the Christ, who is the image of God; 2 Cor. 4:4
- because it is God who said, Out of darkness light is to shine, who did shine in our hearts, for the enlightening of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. 2 Cor. 4:6
- And we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us; 2 Cor. 4:7
- at all times the dying of the Lord Jesus bearing about in the body, that the life also of Jesus in our body may be manifested, 2 Cor. 4:10
- for always are we who are living delivered up to death because of Jesus, that the life also of Jesus may be manifested in our dying flesh, 2 Cor. 4:11
- so that, the death indeed in us doth work, and the life in you. 2 Cor. 4:12
- And having the same spirit of the faith, according to that which hath been written, `I believed, therefore I did speak;' we also do believe, therefore also do we speak; 2 Cor. 4:13
- knowing that He who did raise up the Lord Jesus, us also through Jesus shall raise up, and shall present with you, 2 Cor. 4:14
- for the all things are because of you, that the grace having been multiplied, because of the thanksgiving of the more, may abound to the glory of God; 2 Cor. 4:15
- wherefore, we faint not, but if also our outward man doth decay, yet the inward is renewed day by day; 2 Cor. 4:16
- for the momentary light matter of our tribulation, more and more exceedingly an age-during weight of glory doth work out for us -- 2 Cor. 4:17
- we not looking to the things seen, but to the things not seen; for the things seen are temporary, but the things not seen are age-during. 2 Cor. 4:18
- For we have known that if our earthly house of the tabernacle may be thrown down, a building from God we have, an house not made with hands -- age-during -- in the heavens, 2 Cor. 5:1
- for we also who are in the tabernacle do groan, being burdened, seeing we wish not to unclothe ourselves, but to clothe ourselves, that the mortal may be swallowed up of the life. 2 Cor. 5:4
- And He who did work us to this self-same thing is God, who also did give to us the earnest of the Spirit; 2 Cor. 5:5
- having courage, then, at all times, and knowing that being at home in the body, we are away from home from the Lord, -- 2 Cor. 5:6
- we have courage, and are well pleased rather to be away from the home of the body, and to be at home with the Lord. 2 Cor. 5:8
- for all of us it behoveth to be manifested before the tribunal of the Christ, that each one may receive the things done through the body, in reference to the things that he did, whether good or evil; 2 Cor. 5:10
- having known, therefore, the fear of the Lord, we persuade men, and to God we are manifested, and I hope also in your consciences to have been manifested; 2 Cor. 5:11
- for the love of the Christ doth constrain us, having judged thus: that if one for all died, then the whole died, 2 Cor. 5:14
- So that we henceforth have known no one according to the flesh, and even if we have known Christ according to the flesh, yet now we know him no more; 2 Cor. 5:16
- so that if any one is in Christ -- he is a new creature; the old things did pass away, lo, become new have the all things. 2 Cor. 5:17
- And the all things are of God, who reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and did give to us the ministration of the reconciliation, 2 Cor. 5:18
- how that God was in Christ -- a world reconciling to Himself, not reckoning to them their trespasses; and having put in us the word of the reconciliation, 2 Cor. 5:19
- for him who did not know sin, in our behalf He did make sin, that we may become the righteousness of God in him. 2 Cor. 5:21
- And working together also we call upon you that ye receive not in vain the grace of God -- 2 Cor. 6:1
- in nothing giving any cause of offence, that the ministration may be not blamed, 2 Cor. 6:3
- in pureness, in knowledge, in long-suffering, in kindness, in the Holy Spirit, in love unfeigned, 2 Cor. 6:6
- in the word of truth, in the power of God, through the armour of the righteousness, on the right and on the left, 2 Cor. 6:7
- and as a recompense of the same kind, (as to children I say it,) be ye enlarged -- also ye! 2 Cor. 6:13
- and what agreement to the sanctuary of God with idols? for ye are a sanctuary of the living God, according as God said -- `I will dwell in them, and will walk among them, and I will be their God, and they shall be My people, 2 Cor. 6:16
- wherefore, come ye forth out of the midst of them, and be separated, saith the Lord, and an unclean thing do not touch, and I -- I will receive you, 2 Cor. 6:17
- and I will be to you for a Father, and ye -- ye shall be to Me for sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.' 2 Cor. 6:18
- Having, then, these promises, beloved, may we cleanse ourselves from every pollution of flesh and spirit, perfecting sanctification in the fear of God; 2 Cor. 7:1
- great is my freedom of speech unto you, great my glory on your behalf; I have been filled with the comfort, I overabound with the joy on all our tribulation, 2 Cor. 7:4
- but He who is comforting the cast-down -- God -- He did comfort us in the presence of Titus; 2 Cor. 7:6
- and not only in his presence, but also in the comfort with which he was comforted over you, declaring to us your longing desire, your lamentation, your zeal for me, so that the more I did rejoice, 2 Cor. 7:7
- because even if I made you sorry in the letter, I do not repent -- if even I did repent -- for I perceive that the letter, even if for an hour, did make you sorry. 2 Cor. 7:8
- for the sorrow toward God reformation to salvation not to be repented of doth work, and the sorrow of the world doth work death, 2 Cor. 7:10
- for, lo, this same thing -- your being made sorry toward God -- how much diligence it doth work in you! but defence, but displeasure, but fear, but longing desire, but zeal, but revenge; in every thing ye did approve yourselves to be pure in the matter. 2 Cor. 7:11
- because of this we have been comforted in your comfort, and more abundantly the more did we rejoice in the joy of Titus, that his spirit hath been refreshed from you all; 2 Cor. 7:13
- and his tender affection is more abundantly toward you, remembering the obedience of you all, how with fear and trembling ye did receive him; 2 Cor. 7:15
- And we make known to you, brethren, the grace of God, that hath been given in the assemblies of Macedonia, 2 Cor. 8:1
- because in much trial of tribulation the abundance of their joy, and their deep poverty, did abound to the riches of their liberality; 2 Cor. 8:2
- with much entreaty calling on us to receive the favour and the fellowship of the ministration to the saints, 2 Cor. 8:4
- and not according as we expected, but themselves they did give first to the Lord, and to us, through the will of God, 2 Cor. 8:5
- not according to command do I speak, but because of the diligence of others, and of your love proving the genuineness, 2 Cor. 8:8
- for ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that because of you he became poor -- being rich, that ye by that poverty may become rich. 2 Cor. 8:9
- and now also finish doing it, that even as there is the readiness of the will, so also the finishing, out of that which ye have, 2 Cor. 8:11
- for if the willing mind is present, according to that which any one may have it is well-accepted, not according to that which he hath not; 2 Cor. 8:12
- but by equality, at the present time your abundance -- for their want, that also their abundance may be for your want, that there may be equality, 2 Cor. 8:14
- And thanks to God, who is putting the same diligence for you in the heart of Titus, 2 Cor. 8:16
- because indeed the exhortation he accepted, and being more diligent, of his own accord he went forth unto you, 2 Cor. 8:17
- and we sent with him the brother, whose praise in the good news is through all the assemblies, 2 Cor. 8:18
- and not only so, but who was also appointed by vote by the assemblies, our fellow-traveller, with this favour that is ministered by us, unto the glory of the same Lord, and your willing mind; 2 Cor. 8:19
- providing right things, not only before the Lord, but also before men; 2 Cor. 8:21
- and we sent with them our brother, whom we proved in many things many times being diligent, and now much more diligent, by the great confidence that is toward you, 2 Cor. 8:22
- the shewing therefore of your love, and of our boasting on your behalf, to them shew ye, even in the face of the assemblies. 2 Cor. 8:24
- For, indeed, concerning the ministration that is for the saints, it is superfluous for me to write to you, 2 Cor. 9:1
- for I have known your readiness of mind, which in your behalf I boast of to Macedonians, that Achaia hath been prepared a year ago, and the zeal of you did stir up the more part, 2 Cor. 9:2
- and I sent the brethren, that our boasting on your behalf may not be made vain in this respect; that, according as I said, ye may be ready, 2 Cor. 9:3
- Necessary, therefore, I thought it to exhort the brethren, that they may go before to you, and may make up before your formerly announced blessing, that this be ready, as a blessing, and not as covetousness. 2 Cor. 9:5
- (according as it hath been written, `He dispersed abroad, he gave to the poor, his righteousness doth remain to the age,') 2 Cor. 9:9
- and may He who is supplying seed to the sower, and bread for food, supply and multiply your seed sown, and increase the fruits of your righteousness, 2 Cor. 9:10
- because the ministration of this service not only is supplying the wants of the saints, but is also abounding through many thanksgivings to God, 2 Cor. 9:12
- through the proof of this ministration glorifying God for the subjection of your confession to the good news of the Christ, and for the liberality of the fellowship to them and to all, 2 Cor. 9:13
- and by their supplication in your behalf, longing after you because of the exceeding grace of God upon you; 2 Cor. 9:14
- And I, Paul, myself, do call upon you -- through the meekness and gentleness of the Christ -- who in presence, indeed am humble among you, and being absent, have courage toward you, 2 Cor. 10:1
- and I beseech you, that, being present, I may not have courage, with the confidence with which I reckon to be bold against certain reckoning us as walking according to the flesh; 2 Cor. 10:2
- for walking in the flesh, not according to the flesh do we war, 2 Cor. 10:3
- for the weapons of our warfare are not fleshly, but powerful to God for bringing down of strongholds, 2 Cor. 10:4
- reasonings bringing down, and every high thing lifted up against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of the Christ, 2 Cor. 10:5
- The things in presence do ye see? if any one hath trusted in himself to be Christ's, this let him reckon again from himself, that according as he is Christ's, so also we are Christ's; 2 Cor. 10:7
- for even if also anything more abundantly I shall boast concerning our authority, that the Lord gave us for building up, and not for casting you down, I shall not be ashamed; 2 Cor. 10:8
- that I may not seem as if I would terrify you through the letters, 2 Cor. 10:9
- `because the letters indeed -- saith one -- are weighty and strong, and the bodily presence weak, and the speech despicable.' 2 Cor. 10:10
- and we in regard to the unmeasured things will not boast ourselves, but after the measure of the line that the God of measure did appoint to us -- to reach even unto you; 2 Cor. 10:13
- for not as not reaching to you do we stretch ourselves overmuch, for even unto you did we come in the good news of the Christ, 2 Cor. 10:14
- not boasting of the things not measured, in other men's labours, and having hope -- your faith increasing -- in you to be enlarged, according to our line -- into abundance, 2 Cor. 10:15
- in the places beyond you to proclaim good news, not in another's line in regard to the things made ready, to boast; 2 Cor. 10:16
- and he who is boasting -- in the Lord let him boast; 2 Cor. 10:17
- for not he who is commending himself is approved, but he whom the Lord doth commend. 2 Cor. 10:18
- O that ye were bearing with me a little of the folly, but ye also do bear with me: 2 Cor. 11:1
- and I fear, lest, as the serpent did beguile Eve in his subtilty, so your minds may be corrupted from the simplicity that is in the Christ; 2 Cor. 11:3
- for I reckon that I have been nothing behind the very chiefest apostles, 2 Cor. 11:5
- The sin did I do -- myself humbling that ye might be exalted, because freely the good news of God I did proclaim to you? 2 Cor. 11:7
- and being present with you, and having been in want, I was chargeable to no one, for my lack did the brethren supply -- having come from Macedonia -- and in everything burdenless to you I did keep myself, and will keep. 2 Cor. 11:9
- The truth of Christ is in me, because this boasting shall not be stopped in regard to me in the regions of Achaia; 2 Cor. 11:10
- and what I do, I also will do, that I may cut off the occasion of those wishing an occasion, that in that which they boast they may be found according as we also; 2 Cor. 11:12
- and no wonder -- for even the Adversary doth transform himself into a messenger of light; 2 Cor. 11:14
- That which I speak, I speak not according to the Lord, but as in foolishness, in this the confidence of boasting; 2 Cor. 11:17
- since many boast according to the flesh, I also will boast: 2 Cor. 11:18
- for gladly do ye bear with the fools -- being wise, 2 Cor. 11:19
- for ye bear, if any one is bringing you under bondage, if any one doth devour, if any one doth take away, if any one doth exalt himself, if any one on the face doth smite you; 2 Cor. 11:20
- thrice was I beaten with rods, once was I stoned, thrice was I shipwrecked, a night and a day in the deep I have passed; 2 Cor. 11:25
- apart from the things without -- the crowding upon me that is daily -- the care of all the assemblies. 2 Cor. 11:28
- if to boast it behoveth me, of the things of my infirmity I will boast; 2 Cor. 11:30
- the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ -- who is blessed to the ages -- hath known that I do not lie! -- 2 Cor. 11:31
- In Damascus the ethnarch of Aretas the king was watching the city of the Damascenes, wishing to seize me, 2 Cor. 11:32
- and through a window in a rope basket I was let down, through the wall, and fled out of his hands. 2 Cor. 11:33
- To boast, really, is not profitable for me, for I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord. 2 Cor. 12:1
- I have known a man in Christ, fourteen years ago -- whether in the body I have not known, whether out of the body I have not known, God hath known -- such an one being caught away unto the third heaven; 2 Cor. 12:2
- and I have known such a man -- whether in the body, whether out of the body, I have not known, God hath known, -- 2 Cor. 12:3
- that he was caught away to the paradise, and heard unutterable sayings, that it is not possible for man to speak. 2 Cor. 12:4
- and that by the exceeding greatness of the revelations I might not be exalted overmuch, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, a messenger of the Adversary, that he might buffet me, that I might not be exalted overmuch. 2 Cor. 12:7
- Concerning this thing thrice the Lord did I call upon, that it might depart from me, 2 Cor. 12:8
- and He said to me, `Sufficient for thee is My grace, for My power in infirmity is perfected;' most gladly, therefore, will I rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of the Christ may rest on me: 2 Cor. 12:9
- I have become a fool -- boasting; ye -- ye did compel me; for I ought by you to have been commended, for in nothing was I behind the very chiefest apostles -- even if I am nothing. 2 Cor. 12:11
- The signs, indeed, of the apostle were wrought among you in all patience, in signs, and wonders, and mighty deeds, 2 Cor. 12:12
- for what is there in which ye were inferior to the rest of the assemblies, except that I myself was not a burden to you? forgive me this injustice! 2 Cor. 12:13
- Lo, a third time I am ready to come unto you, and I will not be a burden to you, for I seek not yours, but you, for the children ought not for the parents to lay up, but the parents for the children, 2 Cor. 12:14
- I entreated Titus, and did send with him the brother; did Titus take advantage of you? in the same spirit did we not walk? -- did we not in the same steps? 2 Cor. 12:18
- Again, think ye that to you we are making defence? before God in Christ do we speak; and the all things, beloved, are for your up-building, 2 Cor. 12:19
- lest again having come, my God may humble me in regard to you, and I may bewail many of those having sinned before, and not having reformed concerning the uncleanness, and whoredom, and lasciviousness, that they did practise. 2 Cor. 12:21
- This third time do I come unto you; on the mouth of two witnesses or three shall every saying be established; 2 Cor. 13:1
- I have said before, and I say it before, as being present, the second time, and being absent, now, do I write to those having sinned before, and to all the rest, that if I come again, I will not spare, 2 Cor. 13:2
- since a proof ye seek of the Christ speaking in me, who to you is not infirm, but is powerful in you, 2 Cor. 13:3
- for even if he was crucified from infirmity, yet he doth live from the power of God; for we also are weak in him, but we shall live with him from the power of God toward you. 2 Cor. 13:4
- Your ownselves try ye, if ye are in the faith; your ownselves prove ye; do ye not know your ownselves, that Jesus Christ is in you, if ye be not in some respect disapproved of? 2 Cor. 13:5
- for we are not able to do anything against the truth, but for the truth; 2 Cor. 13:8
- because of this, these things -- being absent -- I write, that being present, I may not treat any sharply, according to the authority that the Lord did give me for building up, and not for casting down. 2 Cor. 13:10
- Henceforth, brethren, rejoice; be made perfect, be comforted, be of the same mind, be at peace, and the God of the love and peace shall be with you; 2 Cor. 13:11
- salute you do all the saints; 2 Cor. 13:13
- the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, is with you all! Amen. 2 Cor. 13:14
- Paul, an apostle -- not from men, nor through man, but through Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who did raise him out of the dead -- Gal. 1:1
- and all the brethren with me, to the assemblies of Galatia: Gal. 1:2
- Grace to you, and peace from God the Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ, Gal. 1:3
- who did give himself for our sins, that he might deliver us out of the present evil age, according to the will of God even our Father, Gal. 1:4
- to whom is the glory to the ages of the ages. Amen. Gal. 1:5
- I wonder that ye are so quickly removed from Him who did call you in the grace of Christ to another good news; Gal. 1:6
- that is not another, except there be certain who are troubling you, and wishing to pervert the good news of the Christ; Gal. 1:7
- And I make known to you, brethren, the good news that were proclaimed by me, that it is not according to man, Gal. 1:11
- for ye did hear of my behaviour once in Judaism, that exceedingly I was persecuting the assembly of God, and wasting it, Gal. 1:13
- and when God was well pleased -- having separated me from the womb of my mother, and having called me through His grace -- Gal. 1:15
- to reveal His Son in me, that I might proclaim him good news among the nations, immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood, Gal. 1:16
- and other of the apostles I did not see, except James, the brother of the Lord. Gal. 1:19
- And the things that I write to you, lo, before God -- I lie not; Gal. 1:20
- then I came to the regions of Syria and of Cilicia, Gal. 1:21
- and was unknown by face to the assemblies of Judea, that are in Christ, Gal. 1:22
- and only they were hearing, that `he who is persecuting us then, doth now proclaim good news -- the faith that then he was wasting;' Gal. 1:23
- and I went up by revelation, and did submit to them the good news that I preach among the nations, and privately to those esteemed, lest in vain I might run or did run; Gal. 2:2
- and that because of the false brethren brought in unawares, who did come in privily to spy out our liberty that we have in Christ Jesus, that us they might bring under bondage, Gal. 2:4
- to whom not even for an hour we gave place by subjection, that the truth of the good news might remain to you. Gal. 2:5
- And from those who were esteemed to be something -- whatever they were then, it maketh no difference to me -- the face of man God accepteth not, for -- to me those esteemed did add nothing, Gal. 2:6
- but, on the contrary, having seen that I have been entrusted with the good news of the uncircumcision, as Peter with that of the circumcision, Gal. 2:7
- for He who did work with Peter to the apostleship of the circumcision, did work also in me in regard to the nations, Gal. 2:8
- and having known the grace that was given to me, James, and Cephas, and John, who were esteemed to be pillars, a right hand of fellowship they did give to me, and to Barnabas, that we to the nations, and they to the circumcision may go, Gal. 2:9
- only, of the poor that we should be mindful, which also I was diligent -- this very thing -- to do. Gal. 2:10
- And when Peter came to Antioch, to the face I stood up against him, because he was blameworthy, Gal. 2:11
- for before the coming of certain from James, with the nations he was eating, and when they came, he was withdrawing and separating himself, fearing those of the circumcision, Gal. 2:12
- and dissemble with him also did the other Jews, so that also Barnabas was carried away by their dissimulation. Gal. 2:13
- But when I saw that they are not walking uprightly to the truth of the good news, I said to Peter before all, `If thou, being a Jew, in the manner of the nations dost live, and not in the manner of the Jews, how the nations dost thou compel to Judaize? Gal. 2:14
- we by nature Jews, and not sinners of the nations, Gal. 2:15
- having known also that a man is not declared righteous by works of law, if not through the faith of Jesus Christ, also we in Christ Jesus did believe, that we might be declared righteous by the faith of Christ, and not by works of law, wherefore declared righteous by works of law shall be no flesh.' Gal. 2:16
- for if the things I threw down, these again I build up, a transgressor I set myself forth; Gal. 2:18
- with Christ I have been crucified, and live no more do I, and Christ doth live in me; and that which I now live in the flesh -- in the faith I live of the Son of God, who did love me and did give himself for me; Gal. 2:20
- I do not make void the grace of God, for if righteousness be through law -- then Christ died in vain. Gal. 2:21
- O thoughtless Galatians, who did bewitch you, not to obey the truth -- before whose eyes Jesus Christ was described before among you crucified? Gal. 3:1
- this only do I wish to learn from you -- by works of law the Spirit did ye receive, or by the hearing of faith? Gal. 3:2
- so thoughtless are ye! having begun in the Spirit, now in the flesh do ye end? Gal. 3:3
- He, therefore, who is supplying to you the Spirit, and working mighty acts among you -- by works of law or by the hearing of faith is it? Gal. 3:5
- and the Writing having foreseen that by faith God doth declare righteous the nations did proclaim before the good news to Abraham -- `Blessed in thee shall be all the nations;' Gal. 3:8
- so that those of faith are blessed with the faithful Abraham, Gal. 3:9
- for as many as are of works of law are under a curse, for it hath been written, `Cursed is every one who is not remaining in all things that have been written in the Book of the Law -- to do them,' Gal. 3:10
- and that in law no one is declared righteous with God, is evident, because `The righteous by faith shall live;' Gal. 3:11
- and the law is not by faith, but -- `The man who did them shall live in them.' Gal. 3:12
- Christ did redeem us from the curse of the law, having become for us a curse, for it hath been written, `Cursed is every one who is hanging on a tree,' Gal. 3:13
- that to the nations the blessing of Abraham may come in Christ Jesus, that the promise of the Spirit we may receive through the faith. Gal. 3:14
- and to Abraham were the promises spoken, and to his seed; He doth not say, `And to seeds,' as of many, but as of one, `And to thy seed,' which is Christ; Gal. 3:16
- and this I say, A covenant confirmed before by God to Christ, the law, that came four hundred and thirty years after, doth not set aside, to make void the promise, Gal. 3:17
- for if by law be the inheritance, it is no more by promise, but to Abraham through promise did God grant it. Gal. 3:18
- Why, then, the law? on account of the transgressions it was added, till the seed might come to which the promise hath been made, having been set in order through messengers in the hand of a mediator -- Gal. 3:19
- and the mediator is not of one, and God is one -- Gal. 3:20
- the law, then, is against the promises of God? -- let it not be! for if a law was given that was able to make alive, truly by law there would have been the righteousness, Gal. 3:21
- but the Writing did shut up the whole under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ may be given to those believing. Gal. 3:22
- And before the coming of the faith, under law we were being kept, shut up to the faith about to be revealed, Gal. 3:23
- so that the law became our child-conductor -- to Christ, that by faith we may be declared righteous, Gal. 3:24
- and the faith having come, no more under a child-conductor are we, Gal. 3:25
- for ye are all sons of God through the faith in Christ Jesus, Gal. 3:26
- And I say, so long time as the heir is a babe, he differeth nothing from a servant -- being lord of all, Gal. 4:1
- but is under tutors and stewards till the time appointed of the father, Gal. 4:2
- so also we, when we were babes, under the elements of the world were in servitude, Gal. 4:3
- and when the fulness of time did come, God sent forth His Son, come of a woman, come under law, Gal. 4:4
- that those under law he may redeem, that the adoption of sons we may receive; Gal. 4:5
- and because ye are sons, God did send forth the spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying, `Abba, Father!' Gal. 4:6
- and now, having known God -- and rather being known by God -- how turn ye again unto the weak and poor elements to which anew ye desire to be in servitude? Gal. 4:9
- and ye have known that through infirmity of the flesh I did proclaim good news to you at the first, Gal. 4:13
- Tell me, ye who are willing to be under law, the law do ye not hear? Gal. 4:21
- for it hath been written, that Abraham had two sons, one by the maid-servant, and one by the free-woman, Gal. 4:22
- but he who is of the maid-servant, according to flesh hath been, and he who is of the free-woman, through the promise; Gal. 4:23
- which things are allegorized, for these are the two covenants: one, indeed, from mount Sinai, to servitude bringing forth, which is Hagar; Gal. 4:24
- for this Hagar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and doth correspond to the Jerusalem that now is, and is in servitude with her children, Gal. 4:25
- and the Jerusalem above is the free-woman, which is mother of us all, Gal. 4:26
- for it hath been written, `Rejoice, O barren, who art not bearing; break forth and cry, thou who art not travailing, because many are the children of the desolate -- more than of her having the husband.' Gal. 4:27
- but as then he who was born according to the flesh did persecute him according to the spirit, so also now; Gal. 4:29
- but what saith the Writing? `Cast forth the maid-servant and her son, for the son of the maid-servant may not be heir with the son of the free-woman;' Gal. 4:30
- then, brethren, we are not a maid-servant's children, but the free-woman's. Gal. 4:31
- In the freedom, then, with which Christ did make you free -- stand ye, and be not held fast again by a yoke of servitude; Gal. 5:1
- and I testify again to every man circumcised, that he is a debtor to do the whole law; Gal. 5:3
- ye were freed from the Christ, ye who in law are declared righteous; from the grace ye fell away; Gal. 5:4
- for we by the Spirit, by faith, a hope of righteousness do wait for, Gal. 5:5
- Ye were running well; who did hinder you -- not to obey the truth? Gal. 5:7
- the obedience is not of him who is calling you! Gal. 5:8
- a little leaven the whole lump doth leaven; Gal. 5:9
- I have confidence in regard to you in the Lord, that ye will be none otherwise minded; and he who is troubling you shall bear the judgment, whoever he may be. Gal. 5:10
- And I, brethren, if uncircumcision I yet preach, why yet am I persecuted? then hath the stumbling-block of the cross been done away; Gal. 5:11
- For ye -- to freedom ye were called, brethren, only not the freedom for an occasion to the flesh, but through the love serve ye one another, Gal. 5:13
- for all the law in one word is fulfilled -- in this: `Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself;' Gal. 5:14
- And I say: In the Spirit walk ye, and the desire of the flesh ye may not complete; Gal. 5:16
- for the flesh doth desire contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit contrary to the flesh, and these are opposed one to another, that the things that ye may will -- these ye may not do; Gal. 5:17
- and if by the Spirit ye are led, ye are not under law. Gal. 5:18
- And manifest also are the works of the flesh, which are: Adultery, whoredom, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Gal. 5:19
- envyings, murders, drunkennesses, revellings, and such like, of which I tell you before, as I also said before, that those doing such things the reign of God shall not inherit. Gal. 5:21
- And the fruit of the Spirit is: Love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, faith, Gal. 5:22
- and those who are Christ's, the flesh did crucify with the affections, and the desires; Gal. 5:24
- if we may live in the Spirit, in the Spirit also we may walk; Gal. 5:25
- of one another the burdens bear ye, and so fill up the law of the Christ, Gal. 6:2
- and his own work let each one prove, and then in regard to himself alone the glorying he shall have, and not in regard to the other, Gal. 6:4
- And let him who is instructed in the word share with him who is instructing -- in all good things. Gal. 6:6
- because he who is sowing to his own flesh, of the flesh shall reap corruption; and he who is sowing to the Spirit, of the Spirit shall reap life age-during; Gal. 6:8
- and in the doing good we may not be faint-hearted, for at the proper time we shall reap -- not desponding; Gal. 6:9
- therefore, then, as we have opportunity, may we work the good to all, and especially unto those of the household of the faith. Gal. 6:10
- as many as are willing to make a good appearance in the flesh, these constrain you to be circumcised -- only that for the cross of the Christ they may not be persecuted, Gal. 6:12
- for neither do those circumcised themselves keep the law, but they wish you to be circumcised, that in your flesh they may glory. Gal. 6:13
- And for me, let it not be -- to glory, except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which to me the world hath been crucified, and I to the world; Gal. 6:14
- and as many as by this rule do walk -- peace upon them, and kindness, and on the Israel of God! Gal. 6:16
- Henceforth, let no one give me trouble, for I the scars of the Lord Jesus in my body do bear. Gal. 6:17
- The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ is with your spirit, brethren! Amen. Gal. 6:18
- Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, to the saints who are in Ephesus, and to the faithful in Christ Jesus: Eph. 1:1
- Grace to you, and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ! Eph. 1:2
- Blessed is the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who did bless us in every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ, Eph. 1:3
- according as He did choose us in him before the foundation of the world, for our being holy and unblemished before Him, in love, Eph. 1:4
- having foreordained us to the adoption of sons through Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will, Eph. 1:5
- to the praise of the glory of His grace, in which He did make us accepted in the beloved, Eph. 1:6
- in whom we have the redemption through his blood, the remission of the trespasses, according to the riches of His grace, Eph. 1:7
- having made known to us the secret of His will, according to His good pleasure, that He purposed in Himself, Eph. 1:9
- in regard to the dispensation of the fulness of the times, to bring into one the whole in the Christ, both the things in the heavens, and the things upon the earth -- in him; Eph. 1:10
- in whom also we did obtain an inheritance, being foreordained according to the purpose of Him who the all things is working according to the counsel of His will, Eph. 1:11
- for our being to the praise of His glory, even those who did first hope in the Christ, Eph. 1:12
- in whom ye also, having heard the word of the truth -- the good news of your salvation -- in whom also having believed, ye were sealed with the Holy Spirit of the promise, Eph. 1:13
- which is an earnest of our inheritance, to the redemption of the acquired possession, to the praise of His glory. Eph. 1:14
- Because of this I also, having heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and the love to all the saints, Eph. 1:15
- that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of the glory, may give to you a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the recognition of him, Eph. 1:17
- the eyes of your understanding being enlightened, for your knowing what is the hope of His calling, and what the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, Eph. 1:18
- and what the exceeding greatness of His power to us who are believing, according to the working of the power of His might, Eph. 1:19
- which He wrought in the Christ, having raised him out of the dead, and did set him at His right hand in the heavenly places, Eph. 1:20
- far above all principality, and authority, and might, and lordship, and every name named, not only in this age, but also in the coming one; Eph. 1:21
- and all things He did put under his feet, and did give him -- head over all things to the assembly, Eph. 1:22
- which is his body, the fulness of Him who is filling the all in all, Eph. 1:23
- Also you -- being dead in the trespasses and the sins, Eph. 2:1
- in which once ye did walk according to the age of this world, according to the ruler of the authority of the air, of the spirit that is now working in the sons of disobedience, Eph. 2:2
- among whom also we all did walk once in the desires of our flesh, doing the wishes of the flesh and of the thoughts, and were by nature children of wrath -- as also the others, Eph. 2:3
- even being dead in the trespasses, did make us to live together with the Christ, (by grace ye are having been saved,) Eph. 2:5
- and did raise us up together, and did seat us together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, Eph. 2:6
- that He might show, in the ages that are coming, the exceeding riches of His grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus, Eph. 2:7
- for by grace ye are having been saved, through faith, and this not of you -- of God the gift, Eph. 2:8
- Wherefore, remember, that ye were once the nations in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that called Circumcision in the flesh made by hands, Eph. 2:11
- that ye were at that time apart from Christ, having been alienated from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers to the covenants of the promise, having no hope, and without God, in the world; Eph. 2:12
- and now, in Christ Jesus, ye being once afar off became nigh in the blood of the Christ, Eph. 2:13
- for he is our peace, who did make both one, and the middle wall of the enclosure did break down, Eph. 2:14
- the enmity in his flesh, the law of the commands in ordinances having done away, that the two he might create in himself into one new man, making peace, Eph. 2:15
- and might reconcile both in one body to God through the cross, having slain the enmity in it, Eph. 2:16
- and having come, he did proclaim good news -- peace to you -- the far-off and the nigh, Eph. 2:17
- because through him we have the access -- we both -- in one Spirit unto the Father. Eph. 2:18
- Then, therefore, ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellow-citizens of the saints, and of the household of God, Eph. 2:19
- being built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being chief corner-stone, Eph. 2:20
- in whom all the building fitly framed together doth increase to an holy sanctuary in the Lord, Eph. 2:21
- in whom also ye are builded together, for a habitation of God in the Spirit. Eph. 2:22
- For this cause, I Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus for you the nations, Eph. 3:1
- if, indeed, ye did hear of the dispensation of the grace of God that was given to me in regard to you, Eph. 3:2
- that by revelation He made known to me the secret, according as I wrote before in few words -- Eph. 3:3
- in regard to which ye are able, reading it, to understand my knowledge in the secret of the Christ, Eph. 3:4
- which in other generations was not made known to the sons of men, as it was now revealed to His holy apostles and prophets in the Spirit -- Eph. 3:5
- that the nations be fellow-heirs, and of the same body, and partakers of His promise in the Christ, through the good news, Eph. 3:6
- of which I became a ministrant, according to the gift of the grace of God that was given to me, according to the working of His power; Eph. 3:7
- to me -- the less than the least of all the saints -- was given this grace, among the nations to proclaim good news -- the untraceable riches of the Christ, Eph. 3:8
- and to cause all to see what is the fellowship of the secret that hath been hid from the ages in God, who the all things did create by Jesus Christ, Eph. 3:9
- that there might be made known now to the principalities and the authorities in the heavenly places, through the assembly, the manifold wisdom of God, Eph. 3:10
- according to a purpose of the ages, which He made in Christ Jesus our Lord, Eph. 3:11
- in whom we have the freedom and the access in confidence through the faith of him, Eph. 3:12
- For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, Eph. 3:14
- of whom the whole family in the heavens and on earth is named, Eph. 3:15
- that He may give to you, according to the riches of His glory, with might to be strengthened through His Spirit, in regard to the inner man, Eph. 3:16
- that the Christ may dwell through the faith in your hearts, in love having been rooted and founded, Eph. 3:17
- that ye may be in strength to comprehend, with all the saints, what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height, Eph. 3:18
- to know also the love of the Christ that is exceeding the knowledge, that ye may be filled -- to all the fulness of God; Eph. 3:19
- and to Him who is able above all things to do exceeding abundantly what we ask or think, according to the power that is working in us, Eph. 3:20
- to Him is the glory in the assembly in Christ Jesus, to all the generations of the age of the ages. Amen. Eph. 3:21
- Call upon you, then, do I -- the prisoner of the Lord -- to walk worthily of the calling with which ye were called, Eph. 4:1
- being diligent to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of the peace; Eph. 4:3
- and to each one of you was given the grace, according to the measure of the gift of Christ, Eph. 4:7
- and that, he went up, what is it except that he also went down first to the lower parts of the earth? Eph. 4:9
- he who went down is the same also who went up far above all the heavens, that He may fill all things -- Eph. 4:10
- unto the perfecting of the saints, for a work of ministration, for a building up of the body of the Christ, Eph. 4:12
- till we may all come to the unity of the faith and of the recognition of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to a measure of stature of the fulness of the Christ, Eph. 4:13
- that we may no more be babes, tossed and borne about by every wind of the teaching, in the sleight of men, in craftiness, unto the artifice of leading astray, Eph. 4:14
- and, being true in love, we may increase to Him in all things, who is the head -- the Christ; Eph. 4:15
- from whom the whole body, being fitly joined together and united, through the supply of every joint, according to the working in the measure of each single part, the increase of the body doth make for the building up of itself in love. Eph. 4:16
- This, then, I say, and I testify in the Lord; ye are no more to walk, as also the other nations walk, in the vanity of their mind, Eph. 4:17
- being darkened in the understanding, being alienated from the life of God, because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the hardness of their heart, Eph. 4:18
- who, having ceased to feel, themselves did give up to the lasciviousness, for the working of all uncleanness in greediness; Eph. 4:19
- and ye did not so learn the Christ, Eph. 4:20
- ye are to put off concerning the former behaviour the old man, that is corrupt according to the desires of the deceit, Eph. 4:22
- and to be renewed in the spirit of your mind, Eph. 4:23
- and to put on the new man, which, according to God, was created in righteousness and kindness of the truth. Eph. 4:24
- Wherefore, putting away the lying, speak truth each with his neighbour, because we are members one of another; Eph. 4:25
- be angry and do not sin; let not the sun go down upon your wrath, Eph. 4:26
- neither give place to the devil; Eph. 4:27
- whoso is stealing let him no more steal, but rather let him labour, working the thing that is good with the hands, that he may have to impart to him having need. Eph. 4:28
- Let no corrupt word out of your mouth go forth, but what is good unto the needful building up, that it may give grace to the hearers; Eph. 4:29
- and make not sorrowful the Holy Spirit of God, in which ye were sealed to a day of redemption. Eph. 4:30
- and walk in love, as also the Christ did love us, and did give himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for an odour of a sweet smell, Eph. 5:2
- also filthiness, and foolish talking, or jesting, -- the things not fit -- but rather thanksgiving; Eph. 5:4
- for this ye know, that every whoremonger, or unclean, or covetous person, who is an idolater, hath no inheritance in the reign of the Christ and God. Eph. 5:5
- Let no one deceive you with vain words, for because of these things cometh the anger of God upon the sons of the disobedience, Eph. 5:6
- for ye were once darkness, and now light in the Lord; as children of light walk ye, Eph. 5:8
- for the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness, and righteousness, and truth, Eph. 5:9
- proving what is well-pleasing to the Lord, Eph. 5:10
- and have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of the darkness and rather even convict, Eph. 5:11
- for the things in secret done by them it is a shame even to speak of, Eph. 5:12
- and all the things reproved by the light are manifested, for everything that is manifested is light; Eph. 5:13
- wherefore he saith, `Arouse thyself, thou who art sleeping, and arise out of the dead, and the Christ shall shine upon thee.' Eph. 5:14
- redeeming the time, because the days are evil; Eph. 5:16
- because of this become not fools, but -- understanding what is the will of the Lord, Eph. 5:17
- and be not drunk with wine, in which is dissoluteness, but be filled in the Spirit, Eph. 5:18
- speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord, Eph. 5:19
- giving thanks always for all things, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to the God and Father; Eph. 5:20
- subjecting yourselves to one another in the fear of God. Eph. 5:21
- The wives! to your own husbands subject yourselves, as to the Lord, Eph. 5:22
- because the husband is head of the wife, as also the Christ is head of the assembly, and he is saviour of the body, Eph. 5:23
- but even as the assembly is subject to Christ, so also are the wives to their own husbands in everything. Eph. 5:24
- The husbands! love your own wives, as also the Christ did love the assembly, and did give himself for it, Eph. 5:25
- that he might sanctify it, having cleansed it with the bathing of the water in the saying, Eph. 5:26
- that he might present it to himself the assembly in glory, not having spot or wrinkle, or any of such things, but that it may be holy and unblemished; Eph. 5:27
- so ought the husbands to love their own wives as their own bodies: he who is loving his own wife -- himself he doth love; Eph. 5:28
- for no one ever his own flesh did hate, but doth nourish and cherish it, as also the Lord -- the assembly, Eph. 5:29
- `for this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined to his wife, and they shall be -- the two -- for one flesh;' Eph. 5:31
- this secret is great, and I speak in regard to Christ and to the assembly; Eph. 5:32
- but ye also, every one in particular -- let each his own wife so love as himself, and the wife -- that she may reverence the husband. Eph. 5:33
- The children! obey your parents in the Lord, for this is righteous; Eph. 6:1
- honour thy father and mother, which is the first command with a promise, Eph. 6:2
- `That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live a long time upon the land.' Eph. 6:3
- And the fathers! provoke not your children, but nourish them in the instruction and admonition of the Lord. Eph. 6:4
- The servants! obey the masters according to the flesh with fear and trembling, in the simplicity of your heart, as to the Christ; Eph. 6:5
- not with eye-service as men-pleasers, but as servants of the Christ, doing the will of God out of soul, Eph. 6:6
- with good-will serving, as to the Lord, and not to men, Eph. 6:7
- having known that whatever good thing each one may do, this he shall receive from the Lord, whether servant or freeman. Eph. 6:8
- And the masters! the same things do ye unto them, letting threatening alone, having known that also your Master is in the heavens, and acceptance of persons is not with him. Eph. 6:9
- As to the rest, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might; Eph. 6:10
- put on the whole armour of God, for your being able to stand against the wiles of the devil, Eph. 6:11
- because we have not the wrestling with blood and flesh, but with the principalities, with the authorities, with the world-rulers of the darkness of this age, with the spiritual things of the evil in the heavenly places; Eph. 6:12
- because of this take ye up the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to resist in the day of the evil, and all things having done -- to stand. Eph. 6:13
- Stand, therefore, having your loins girt about in truth, and having put on the breastplate of the righteousness, Eph. 6:14
- and having the feet shod in the preparation of the good-news of the peace; Eph. 6:15
- above all, having taken up the shield of the faith, in which ye shall be able all the fiery darts of the evil one to quench, Eph. 6:16
- and the helmet of the salvation receive, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the saying of God, Eph. 6:17
- through all prayer and supplication praying at all times in the Spirit, and in regard to this same, watching in all perseverance and supplication for all the saints -- Eph. 6:18
- and in behalf of me, that to me may be given a word in the opening of my mouth, in freedom, to make known the secret of the good news, Eph. 6:19
- And that ye may know -- ye also -- the things concerning me -- what I do, all things make known to you shall Tychicus, the beloved brother and faithful ministrant in the Lord, Eph. 6:21
- whom I did send unto you for this very thing, that ye might know the things concerning us, and that he might comfort your hearts. Eph. 6:22
- Peace to the brethren, and love, with faith, from God the Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ! Eph. 6:23
- The grace with all those loving our Lord Jesus Christ -- undecayingly! Amen. Eph. 6:24
- Paul and Timotheus, servants of Jesus Christ, to all the saints in Christ Jesus who are in Philippi, with overseers and ministrants; Phil. 1:1
- Grace to you, and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ. Phil. 1:2
- I give thanks to my God upon all the remembrance of you, Phil. 1:3
- always, in every supplication of mine for you all, with joy making the supplication, Phil. 1:4
- for your contribution to the good news from the first day till now, Phil. 1:5
- according as it is righteous for me to think this in behalf of you all, because of my having you in the heart, both in my bonds, and in the defence and confirmation of the good news, all of you being fellow-partakers with me of grace. Phil. 1:7
- For God is my witness, how I long for you all in the bowels of Jesus Christ, Phil. 1:8
- for your proving the things that differ, that ye may be pure and offenceless -- to a day of Christ, Phil. 1:10
- being filled with the fruit of righteousness, that is through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God. Phil. 1:11
- And I wish you to know, brethren, that the things concerning me, rather to an advancement of the good news have come, Phil. 1:12
- so that my bonds have become manifest in Christ in the whole praetorium, and to the other places -- all, Phil. 1:13
- and the greater part of the brethren in the Lord, having confidence by my bonds, are more abundantly bold -- fearlessly to speak the word. Phil. 1:14
- Certain, indeed, even through envy and contention, and certain also through good-will, do preach the Christ; Phil. 1:15
- the one, indeed, of rivalry the Christ do proclaim, not purely, supposing to add affliction to my bonds, Phil. 1:16
- and the other out of love, having known that for defence of the good news I am set: Phil. 1:17
- For I have known that this shall fall out to me for salvation, through your supplication, and the supply of the Spirit of Christ Jesus, Phil. 1:19
- And if to live in the flesh is to me a fruit of work, then what shall I choose? I know not; Phil. 1:22
- for I am pressed by the two, having the desire to depart, and to be with Christ, for it is far better, Phil. 1:23
- and to remain in the flesh is more necessary on your account, Phil. 1:24
- and of this being persuaded, I have known that I shall remain and continue with you all, to your advancement and joy of the faith, Phil. 1:25
- Only worthily of the good news of the Christ conduct ye yourselves, that, whether having come and seen you, whether being absent I may hear of the things concerning you, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one soul, striving together for the faith of the good news, Phil. 1:27
- the same conflict having, such as ye saw in me, and now hear of in me. Phil. 1:30
- fulfil ye my joy, that ye may mind the same thing -- having the same love -- of one soul -- minding the one thing, Phil. 2:2
- each not to your own look ye, but each also to the things of others. Phil. 2:4
- who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal to God, Phil. 2:6
- but did empty himself, the form of a servant having taken, in the likeness of men having been made, Phil. 2:7
- that in the name of Jesus every knee may bow -- of heavenlies, and earthlies, and what are under the earth -- Phil. 2:10
- and every tongue may confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. Phil. 2:11
- that ye may become blameless and harmless, children of God, unblemished in the midst of a generation crooked and perverse, among whom ye do appear as luminaries in the world, Phil. 2:15
- the word of life holding forth, for rejoicing to me in regard to a day of Christ, that not in vain did I run, nor in vain did I labour; Phil. 2:16
- but if also I am poured forth upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I rejoice and joy with you all, Phil. 2:17
- And I hope, in the Lord Jesus, Timotheus to send quickly to you, that I also may be of good spirit, having known the things concerning you, Phil. 2:19
- for I have no one like-minded, who sincerely for the things concerning you will care, Phil. 2:20
- for the whole seek their own things, not the things of the Christ Jesus, Phil. 2:21
- and the proof of him ye know, that as a child serveth a father, with me he did serve in regard to the good news; Phil. 2:22
- him, indeed, therefore, I hope to send, when I may see through the things concerning me -- immediately; Phil. 2:23
- and I trust in the Lord that I myself also shall quickly come. Phil. 2:24
- The more eagerly, therefore, I did send him, that having seen him again ye may rejoice, and I may be the less sorrowful; Phil. 2:28
- receive him, therefore, in the Lord, with all joy, and hold such in honour, Phil. 2:29
- because on account of the work of the Christ he drew near to death, having hazarded the life that he might fill up your deficiency of service unto me. Phil. 2:30
- As to the rest, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord; the same things to write to you to me indeed is not tiresome, and for you is sure; Phil. 3:1
- look to the dogs, look to the evil-workers, look to the concision; Phil. 3:2
- for we are the circumcision, who by the Spirit are serving God, and glorying in Christ Jesus, and in flesh having no trust, Phil. 3:3
- circumcision on the eighth day! of the race of Israel! of the tribe of Benjamin! a Hebrew of Hebrews! according to law a Pharisee! Phil. 3:5
- according to zeal persecuting the assembly! according to righteousness that is in law becoming blameless! Phil. 3:6
- But what things were to me gains, these I have counted, because of the Christ, loss; Phil. 3:7
- yes, indeed, and I count all things to be loss, because of the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, because of whom of the all things I suffered loss, and do count them to be refuse, that Christ I may gain, Phil. 3:8
- and be found in him, not having my righteousness, which is of law, but that which is through faith of Christ -- the righteousness that is of God by the faith, Phil. 3:9
- to know him, and the power of his rising again, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being conformed to his death, Phil. 3:10
- if anyhow I may attain to the rising again of the dead. Phil. 3:11
- Not that I did already obtain, or have been already perfected; but I pursue, if also I may lay hold of that for which also I was laid hold of by the Christ Jesus; Phil. 3:12
- brethren, I do not reckon myself to have laid hold; and one thing -- the things behind indeed forgetting, and to the things before stretching forth -- Phil. 3:13
- to the mark I pursue for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. Phil. 3:14
- but to what we have come -- by the same rule walk, the same thing think; Phil. 3:16
- for many walk of whom many times I told you -- and now also weeping tell -- the enemies of the cross of the Christ! Phil. 3:18
- whose end is destruction, whose god is the belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who the things on earth are minding. Phil. 3:19
- For our citizenship is in the heavens, whence also a Saviour we await -- the Lord Jesus Christ -- Phil. 3:20
- who shall transform the body of our humiliation to its becoming conformed to the body of his glory, according to the working of his power, even to subject to himself the all things. Phil. 3:21
- So then, my brethren, beloved and longed for, my joy and crown, so stand ye in the Lord, beloved. Phil. 4:1
- Euodia I exhort, and Syntyche I exhort, to be of the same mind in the Lord; Phil. 4:2
- and I ask also thee, genuine yoke-fellow, be assisting those women who in the good news did strive along with me, with Clement also, and the others, my fellow-workers, whose names are in the book of life. Phil. 4:3
- Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice; Phil. 4:4
- let your forbearance be known to all men; the Lord is near; Phil. 4:5
- and the peace of God, that is surpassing all understanding, shall guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus. Phil. 4:7
- As to the rest, brethren, as many things as are true, as many as are grave, as many as are righteous, as many as are pure, as many as are lovely, as many as are of good report, if any worthiness, and if any praise, these things think upon; Phil. 4:8
- the things that also ye did learn, and receive, and hear, and saw in me, those do, and the God of the peace shall be with you. Phil. 4:9
- And I rejoiced in the Lord greatly, that now at length ye flourished again in caring for me, for which also ye were caring, and lacked opportunity; Phil. 4:10
- not that in respect of want I say it, for I did learn in the things in which I am -- to be content; Phil. 4:11
- and ye have known, even ye Philippians, that in the beginning of the good news when I went forth from Macedonia, no assembly did communicate with me in regard to giving and receiving except ye only; Phil. 4:15
- not that I seek after the gift, but I seek after the fruit that is overflowing to your account; Phil. 4:17
- and I have all things, and abound; I am filled, having received from Epaphroditus the things from you -- an odour of a sweet smell -- a sacrifice acceptable, well-pleasing to God: Phil. 4:18
- and to God, even our Father, is the glory -- to the ages of the ages. Amen. Phil. 4:20
- Salute ye every saint in Christ Jesus; there salute you the brethren with me; Phil. 4:21
- there salute you all the saints, and specially those of Caesar's house; Phil. 4:22
- the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ is with you all. Amen. Phil. 4:23
- Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and Timotheus the brother, Col. 1:1
- to the saints in Colossae, and to the faithful brethren in Christ: Grace to you, and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ! Col. 1:2
- We give thanks to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, always praying for you, Col. 1:3
- having heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and of the love that is to all the saints, Col. 1:4
- because of the hope that is laid up for you in the heavens, which ye heard of before in the word of the truth of the good news, Col. 1:5
- which is present to you, as also in all the world, and is bearing fruit, as also in you, from the day in which ye heard, and knew the grace of God in truth; Col. 1:6
- as ye also learned from Epaphras, our beloved fellow-servant, who is for you a faithful ministrant of the Christ, Col. 1:7
- who also did declare to us your love in the Spirit. Col. 1:8
- Because of this, we also, from the day in which we heard, do not cease praying for you, and asking that ye may be filled with the full knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding, Col. 1:9
- to your walking worthily of the Lord to all pleasing, in every good work being fruitful, and increasing to the knowledge of God, Col. 1:10
- in all might being made mighty according to the power of His glory, to all endurance and long-suffering with joy. Col. 1:11
- Giving thanks to the Father who did make us meet for the participation of the inheritance of the saints in the light, Col. 1:12
- who did rescue us out of the authority of the darkness, and did translate us into the reign of the Son of His love, Col. 1:13
- in whom we have the redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of the sins, Col. 1:14
- who is the image of the invisible God, first-born of all creation, Col. 1:15
- because in him were the all things created, those in the heavens, and those upon the earth, those visible, and those invisible, whether thrones, whether lordships, whether principalities, whether authorities; all things through him, and for him, have been created, Col. 1:16
- and himself is before all, and the all things in him have consisted. Col. 1:17
- And himself is the head of the body -- the assembly -- who is a beginning, a first-born out of the dead, that he might become in all things -- himself -- first, Col. 1:18
- because in him it did please all the fulness to tabernacle, Col. 1:19
- and through him to reconcile the all things to himself -- having made peace through the blood of his cross -- through him, whether the things upon the earth, whether the things in the heavens. Col. 1:20
- And you -- once being alienated, and enemies in the mind, in the evil works, yet now did he reconcile, Col. 1:21
- in the body of his flesh through the death, to present you holy, and unblemished, and unblameable before himself, Col. 1:22
- if also ye remain in the faith, being founded and settled, and not moved away from the hope of the good news, which ye heard, which was preached in all the creation that is under the heaven, of which I became -- I Paul -- a ministrant. Col. 1:23
- I now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and do fill up the things lacking of the tribulations of the Christ in my flesh for his body, which is the assembly, Col. 1:24
- of which I -- I did become a ministrant according to the dispensation of God, that was given to me for you, to fulfil the word of God, Col. 1:25
- the secret that hath been hid from the ages and from the generations, but now was manifested to his saints, Col. 1:26
- to whom God did will to make known what is the riches of the glory of this secret among the nations -- which is Christ in you, the hope of the glory, Col. 1:27
- For I wish you to know how great a conflict I have for you and those in Laodicea, and as many as have not seen my face in the flesh, Col. 2:1
- that their hearts may be comforted, being united in love, and to all riches of the full assurance of the understanding, to the full knowledge of the secret of the God and Father, and of the Christ, Col. 2:2
- in whom are all the treasures of the wisdom and the knowledge hid, Col. 2:3
- for if even in the flesh I am absent -- yet in the spirit I am with you, joying and beholding your order, and the stedfastness of your faith in regard to Christ; Col. 2:5
- as, then, ye did receive Christ Jesus the Lord, in him walk ye, Col. 2:6
- being rooted and built up in him, and confirmed in the faith, as ye were taught -- abounding in it in thanksgiving. Col. 2:7
- See that no one shall be carrying you away as spoil through the philosophy and vain deceit, according to the deliverance of men, according to the rudiments of the world, and not according to Christ, Col. 2:8
- because in him doth tabernacle all the fulness of the Godhead bodily, Col. 2:9
- and ye are in him made full, who is the head of all principality and authority, Col. 2:10
- in whom also ye were circumcised with a circumcision not made with hands, in the putting off of the body of the sins of the flesh in the circumcision of the Christ, Col. 2:11
- being buried with him in the baptism, in which also ye rose with him through the faith of the working of God, who did raise him out of the dead. Col. 2:12
- And you -- being dead in the trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh -- He made alive together with him, having forgiven you all the trespasses, Col. 2:13
- having blotted out the handwriting in the ordinances that is against us, that was contrary to us, and he hath taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross; Col. 2:14
- having stripped the principalities and the authorities, he made a shew of them openly -- having triumphed over them in it. Col. 2:15
- which are a shadow of the coming things, and the body is of the Christ; Col. 2:17
- let no one beguile you of your prize, delighting in humble-mindedness and in worship of the messengers, intruding into the things he hath not seen, being vainly puffed up by the mind of his flesh, Col. 2:18
- and not holding the head, from which all the body -- through the joints and bands gathering supply, and being knit together -- may increase with the increase of God. Col. 2:19
- If, then, ye did die with the Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as living in the world, are ye subject to ordinances? Col. 2:20
- which are all for destruction with the using, after the commands and teachings of men, Col. 2:22
- which are, indeed, having a matter of wisdom in will-worship, and humble-mindedness, and neglecting of body -- not in any honour, unto a satisfying of the flesh. Col. 2:23
- If, then, ye were raised with the Christ, the things above seek ye, where the Christ is, on the right hand of God seated, Col. 3:1
- the things above mind ye, not the things upon the earth, Col. 3:2
- for ye did die, and your life hath been hid with the Christ in God; Col. 3:3
- when the Christ -- our life -- may be manifested, then also we with him shall be manifested in glory. Col. 3:4
- Put to death, then, your members that are upon the earth -- whoredom, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and the covetousness, which is idolatry -- Col. 3:5
- because of which things cometh the anger of God upon the sons of the disobedience, Col. 3:6
- but now put off, even ye, the whole -- anger, wrath, malice, evil-speaking, filthy talking -- out of your mouth. Col. 3:8
- Lie not one to another, having put off the old man with his practices, Col. 3:9
- and having put on the new, which is renewed in regard to knowledge, after the image of Him who did create him; Col. 3:10
- where there is not Greek and Jew, circumcision and uncircumcision, foreigner, Scythian, servant, freeman -- but the all and in all -- Christ. Col. 3:11
- forbearing one another, and forgiving each other, if any one with any one may have a quarrel, as also the Christ did forgive you -- so also ye; Col. 3:13
- and above all these things, have love, which is a bond of the perfection, Col. 3:14
- and let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also ye were called in one body, and become thankful. Col. 3:15
- Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing each other, in psalms, and hymns, and spiritual songs, in grace singing in your hearts to the Lord; Col. 3:16
- and all, whatever ye may do in word or in work, do all things in the name of the Lord Jesus -- giving thanks to the God and Father, through him. Col. 3:17
- The wives! be subject to your own husbands, as is fit in the Lord; Col. 3:18
- the husbands! love your wives, and be not bitter with them; Col. 3:19
- the children! obey the parents in all things, for this is well-pleasing to the Lord; Col. 3:20
- the fathers! vex not your children, lest they be discouraged. Col. 3:21
- The servants! obey in all things those who are masters according to the flesh, not in eye-service as men-pleasers, but in simplicity of heart, fearing God; Col. 3:22
- and all, whatever ye may do -- out of soul work -- as to the Lord, and not to men, Col. 3:23
- having known that from the Lord ye shall receive the recompense of the inheritance -- for the Lord Christ ye serve; Col. 3:24
- The masters! that which is righteous and equal to the servants give ye, having known that ye also have a Master in the heavens. Col. 4:1
- In the prayer continue ye, watching in it in thanksgiving; Col. 4:2
- praying at the same time also for us, that God may open to us a door for the word, to speak the secret of the Christ, because of which also I have been bound, Col. 4:3
- in wisdom walk ye toward those without, the time forestalling; Col. 4:5
- All the things concerning me make known to you shall Tychicus -- the beloved brother, and faithful ministrant, and fellow-servant in the Lord -- Col. 4:7
- whom I did send unto you for this very thing, that he might know the things concerning you, and might comfort your hearts, Col. 4:8
- with Onesimus the faithful and beloved brother, who is of you; all things to you shall they make known that are here. Col. 4:9
- Salute you doth Aristarchus, my fellow-captive, and Marcus, the nephew of Barnabas, (concerning whom ye did receive commands -- if he may come unto you receive him,) Col. 4:10
- and Jesus who is called Justus, who are of the circumcision: these only are fellow-workers for the reign of God who did become a comfort to me. Col. 4:11
- Salute you doth Epaphras, who is of you, a servant of Christ, always striving for you in the prayers, that ye may stand perfect and made full in all the will of God, Col. 4:12
- Salute you doth Lukas, the beloved physician, and Demas; Col. 4:14
- salute ye those in Laodicea -- brethren, and Nymphas, and the assembly in his house; Col. 4:15
- and when the epistle may be read with you, cause that also in the assembly of the Laodiceans it may be read, and the epistle from Laodicea that ye also may read; Col. 4:16
- and say to Archippus, `See to the ministration that thou didst receive in the Lord, that thou mayest fulfil it.' Col. 4:17
- The salutation by the hand of me, Paul; remember my bonds; the grace is with you. Amen. Col. 4:18
- Paul, and Silvanus, and Timotheus, to the assembly of Thessalonians in God the Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ: Grace to you, and peace, from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ! 1 Th. 1:1
- unceasingly remembering of you the work of the faith, and the labour of the love, and the endurance of the hope, of our Lord Jesus Christ, in the presence of our God and Father, 1 Th. 1:3
- because our good news did not come to you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Spirit, and in much assurance, even as ye have known of what sort we became among you because of you, 1 Th. 1:5
- and ye -- ye did become imitators of us, and of the Lord, having received the word in much tribulation, with joy of the Holy Spirit, 1 Th. 1:6
- for from you hath sounded forth the word of the Lord, not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but also in every place your faith toward God did go forth, so that we have no need to say anything, 1 Th. 1:8
- for they themselves concerning us do declare what entrance we had unto you, and how ye did turn unto God from the idols, to serve a living and true God, 1 Th. 1:9
- and to wait for His Son from the heavens, whom He did raise out of the dead -- Jesus, who is rescuing us from the anger that is coming. 1 Th. 1:10
- but having both suffered before, and having been injuriously treated (as ye have known) in Philippi, we were bold in our God to speak unto you the good news of God in much conflict, 1 Th. 2:2
- but as we have been approved by God to be entrusted with the good news, so we speak, not as pleasing men, but God, who is proving our hearts, 1 Th. 2:4
- so being desirous of you, we are well-pleased to impart to you not only the good news of God, but also our own souls, because beloved ye have become to us, 1 Th. 2:8
- for ye remember, brethren, our labour and travail, for, night and day working not to be a burden upon any of you, we did preach to you the good news of God; 1 Th. 2:9
- Because of this also, we -- we do give thanks to God continually, that, having received the word of hearing from us of God, ye accepted, not the word of man, but as it is truly, the word of God, who also doth work in you who believe; 1 Th. 2:13
- for ye became imitators, brethren, of the assemblies of God that are in Judea in Christ Jesus, because such things ye suffered, even ye, from your own countrymen, as also they from the Jews, 1 Th. 2:14
- who did both put to death the Lord Jesus and their own prophets, and did persecute us, and God they are not pleasing, and to all men are contrary, 1 Th. 2:15
- forbidding us to speak to the nations that they might be saved, to fill up their sins always, but the anger did come upon them -- to the end! 1 Th. 2:16
- And we, brethren, having been taken from you for the space of an hour -- in presence, not in heart -- did hasten the more abundantly to see your face in much desire, 1 Th. 2:17
- wherefore we wished to come unto you, (I indeed Paul,) both once and again, and the Adversary did hinder us; 1 Th. 2:18
- and did send Timotheus -- our brother, and a ministrant of God, and our fellow-workman in the good news of the Christ -- to establish you, and to comfort you concerning your faith, 1 Th. 3:2
- because now we live, if ye may stand fast in the Lord; 1 Th. 3:8
- for what thanks are we able to recompense to God for you, for all the joy with which we do joy because of you in the presence of our God? 1 Th. 3:9
- night and day exceedingly beseeching, that we might see your face, and perfect the things lacking in your faith. 1 Th. 3:10
- and you the Lord cause to increase and to abound in the love to one another, and to all, even as we also to you, 1 Th. 3:12
- to the establishing your hearts blameless in sanctification before our God and Father, in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ with all His saints. 1 Th. 3:13
- As to the rest, then, brethren, we request you, and call upon you in the Lord Jesus, as ye did receive from us how it behoveth you to walk and to please God, that ye may abound the more, 1 Th. 4:1
- for ye have known what commands we gave you through the Lord Jesus, 1 Th. 4:2
- for this is the will of God -- your sanctification; that ye abstain from the whoredom, 1 Th. 4:3
- not in the affection of desire, as also the nations that were not knowing God, 1 Th. 4:5
- that no one go beyond and defraud in the matter his brother, because an avenger is the Lord of all these, as also we spake before to you and testified, 1 Th. 4:6
- And concerning the brotherly love, ye have no need of my writing to you, for ye yourselves are God-taught to love one another, 1 Th. 4:9
- for ye do it also to all the brethren who are in all Macedonia; and we call upon you, brethren, to abound still more, 1 Th. 4:10
- And I do not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning those who have fallen asleep, that ye may not sorrow, as also the rest who have not hope, 1 Th. 4:13
- for this to you we say in the word of the Lord, that we who are living -- who do remain over to the presence of the Lord -- may not precede those asleep, 1 Th. 4:15
- because the Lord himself, in a shout, in the voice of a chief-messenger, and in the trump of God, shall come down from heaven, and the dead in Christ shall rise first, 1 Th. 4:16
- then we who are living, who are remaining over, together with them shall be caught away in clouds to meet the Lord in air, and so always with the Lord we shall be; 1 Th. 4:17
- And concerning the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need of my writing to you, 1 Th. 5:1
- for yourselves have known thoroughly that the day of the Lord as a thief in the night doth so come, 1 Th. 5:2
- for when they may say, Peace and surety, then sudden destruction doth stand by them, as the travail doth her who is with child, and they shall not escape; 1 Th. 5:3
- and ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that the day may catch you as a thief; 1 Th. 5:4
- so, then, we may not sleep as also the others, but watch and be sober, 1 Th. 5:6
- and we, being of the day -- let us be sober, putting on a breastplate of faith and love, and an helmet -- a hope of salvation, 1 Th. 5:8
- because God did not appoint us to anger, but to the acquiring of salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, 1 Th. 5:9
- wherefore, comfort ye one another, and build ye up, one the one, as also ye do. 1 Th. 5:11
- And we ask you, brethren, to know those labouring among you, and leading you in the Lord, and admonishing you, 1 Th. 5:12
- and we exhort you, brethren, admonish the disorderly, comfort the feeble-minded, support the infirm, be patient unto all; 1 Th. 5:14
- in every thing give thanks, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus in regard to you. 1 Th. 5:18
- The Spirit quench not; 1 Th. 5:19
- and the God of the peace Himself sanctify you wholly, and may your whole spirit, and soul, and body, be preserved unblameably in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ; 1 Th. 5:23
- salute all the brethren in an holy kiss; 1 Th. 5:26
- I charge you by the Lord, that the letter be read to all the holy brethren; 1 Th. 5:27
- the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ is with you! Amen. 1 Th. 5:28
- Paul, and Silvanus, and Timotheus, to the assembly of Thessalonians in God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ: 2 Th. 1:1
- Grace to you, and peace, from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ! 2 Th. 1:2
- We ought to give thanks to God always for you, brethren, as it is meet, because increase greatly doth your faith, and abound doth the love of each one of you all, to one another; 2 Th. 1:3
- so that we ourselves do glory in you in the assemblies of God, for your endurance and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations that ye bear; 2 Th. 1:4
- a token of the righteous judgment of God, for your being counted worthy of the reign of God, for which also ye suffer, 2 Th. 1:5
- and to you who are troubled -- rest with us in the revelation of the Lord Jesus from heaven, with messengers of his power, 2 Th. 1:7
- in flaming fire, giving vengeance to those not knowing God, and to those not obeying the good news of our Lord Jesus Christ; 2 Th. 1:8
- who shall suffer justice -- destruction age-during -- from the face of the Lord, and from the glory of his strength, 2 Th. 1:9
- for which also we do pray always for you, that our God may count you worthy of the calling, and may fulfil all the good pleasure of goodness, and the work of the faith in power, 2 Th. 1:11
- that the name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified in you, and ye in him, according to the grace of our God and Lord Jesus Christ. 2 Th. 1:12
- And we ask you, brethren, in regard to the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ, and of our gathering together unto him, 2 Th. 2:1
- that ye be not quickly shaken in mind, nor be troubled, neither through spirit, neither through word, neither through letters as through us, as that the day of Christ hath arrived; 2 Th. 2:2
- let not any one deceive you in any manner, because -- if the falling away may not come first, and the man of sin be revealed -- the son of the destruction, 2 Th. 2:3
- who is opposing and is raising himself up above all called God or worshipped, so that he in the sanctuary of God as God hath sat down, shewing himself off that he is God -- the day doth not come. 2 Th. 2:4
- for the secret of the lawlessness doth already work, only he who is keeping down now will hinder -- till he may be out of the way, 2 Th. 2:7
- and then shall be revealed the Lawless One, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the manifestation of his presence, 2 Th. 2:8
- him, whose presence is according to the working of the Adversary, in all power, and signs, and lying wonders, 2 Th. 2:9
- and in all deceitfulness of the unrighteousness in those perishing, because the love of the truth they did not receive for their being saved, 2 Th. 2:10
- and because of this shall God send to them a working of delusion, for their believing the lie, 2 Th. 2:11
- that they may be judged -- all who did not believe the truth, but were well pleased in the unrighteousness. 2 Th. 2:12
- And we -- we ought to give thanks to God always for you, brethren, beloved by the Lord, that God did choose you from the beginning to salvation, in sanctification of the Spirit, and belief of the truth, 2 Th. 2:13
- to which He did call you through our good news, to the acquiring of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ; 2 Th. 2:14
- so, then, brethren, stand ye fast, and hold the deliverances that ye were taught, whether through word, whether through our letter; 2 Th. 2:15
- As to the rest, pray ye, brethren, concerning us, that the word of the Lord may run and may be glorified, as also with you, 2 Th. 3:1
- and that we may be delivered from the unreasonable and evil men, for the faith is not of all; 2 Th. 3:2
- and stedfast is the Lord, who shall establish you, and shall guard you from the evil; 2 Th. 3:3
- and we have confidence in the Lord touching you, that the things that we command you ye both do and will do; 2 Th. 3:4
- and the Lord direct your hearts to the love of God, and to the endurance of the Christ. 2 Th. 3:5
- And we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to withdraw yourselves from every brother disorderly walking, and not after the deliverance that ye received from us, 2 Th. 3:6
- and if any one do not obey our word through the letter, this one note ye, and have no company with him, that he may be ashamed, 2 Th. 3:14
- and may the Lord of the peace Himself give to you the peace always in every way; the Lord is with you all! 2 Th. 3:16
- The salutation by the hand of me, Paul, which is a sign in every letter; thus I write; 2 Th. 3:17
- the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ is with you all! Amen. 2 Th. 3:18
- Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to a command of God our Saviour, and of the Lord Jesus Christ our hope, 1 Tim. 1:1
- nor to give heed to fables and endless genealogies, that cause questions rather than the building up of God that is in faith: -- 1 Tim. 1:4
- And the end of the charge is love out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of faith unfeigned, 1 Tim. 1:5
- willing to be teachers of law, not understanding either the things they say, nor concerning what they asseverate, 1 Tim. 1:7
- and we have known that the law is good, if any one may use it lawfully; 1 Tim. 1:8
- according to the good news of the glory of the blessed God, with which I was entrusted. 1 Tim. 1:11
- And I give thanks to him who enabled me -- Christ Jesus our Lord -- that he did reckon me stedfast, having put me to the ministration, 1 Tim. 1:12
- and exceedingly abound did the grace of our Lord, with faith and love that is in Christ Jesus: 1 Tim. 1:14
- stedfast is the word, and of all acceptation worthy, that Christ Jesus came to the world to save sinners -- first of whom I am; 1 Tim. 1:15
- and to the King of the ages, the incorruptible, invisible, only wise God, is honour and glory -- to the ages of the ages! Amen. 1 Tim. 1:17
- This charge I commit to thee, child Timotheus, according to the prophesies that went before upon thee, that thou mayest war in them the good warfare, 1 Tim. 1:18
- having faith and a good conscience, which certain having thrust away, concerning the faith did make shipwreck, 1 Tim. 1:19
- of whom are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I did deliver to the Adversary, that they might be instructed not to speak evil. 1 Tim. 1:20
- who doth will all men to be saved, and to come to the full knowledge of the truth; 1 Tim. 2:4
- for one is God, one also is mediator of God and of men, the man Christ Jesus, 1 Tim. 2:5
- who did give himself a ransom for all -- the testimony in its own times -- 1 Tim. 2:6
- in like manner also the women, in becoming apparel, with modesty and sobriety to adorn themselves, not in braided hair, or gold, or pearls, or garments of great price, 1 Tim. 2:9
- and Adam was not deceived, but the woman, having been deceived, into transgression came, 1 Tim. 2:14
- and she shall be saved through the child-bearing, if they remain in faith, and love, and sanctification, with sobriety. 1 Tim. 2:15
- Stedfast is the word: If any one the oversight doth long for, a right work he desireth; 1 Tim. 3:1
- it behoveth, therefore, the overseer to be blameless, of one wife a husband, vigilant, sober, decent, a friend of strangers, apt to teach, 1 Tim. 3:2
- not a new convert, lest having been puffed up he may fall to a judgment of the devil; 1 Tim. 3:6
- and it behoveth him also to have a good testimony from those without, that he may not fall into reproach and a snare of the devil. 1 Tim. 3:7
- having the secret of the faith in a pure conscience, 1 Tim. 3:9
- Ministrants -- let them be of one wife husbands; the children leading well, and their own houses, 1 Tim. 3:12
- and if I delay, that thou mayest know how it behoveth thee to conduct thyself in the house of God, which is an assembly of the living God -- a pillar and foundation of the truth, 1 Tim. 3:15
- and, confessedly, great is the secret of piety -- God was manifested in flesh, declared righteous in spirit, seen by messengers, preached among nations, believed on in the world, taken up in glory! 1 Tim. 3:16
- And the Spirit expressly speaketh, that in latter times shall certain fall away from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits and teachings of demons, 1 Tim. 4:1
- forbidding to marry -- to abstain from meats that God created to be received with thanksgiving by those believing and acknowledging the truth, 1 Tim. 4:3
- for it is sanctified through the word of God and intercession. 1 Tim. 4:5
- These things placing before the brethren, thou shalt be a good ministrant of Jesus Christ, being nourished by the words of the faith, and of the good teaching, which thou didst follow after, 1 Tim. 4:6
- and the profane and old women's fables reject thou, and exercise thyself unto piety, 1 Tim. 4:7
- for the bodily exercise is unto little profit, and the piety is to all things profitable, a promise having of the life that now is, and of that which is coming; 1 Tim. 4:8
- stedfast is the word, and of all acceptation worthy; 1 Tim. 4:9
- for for this we both labour and are reproached, because we hope on the living God, who is Saviour of all men -- especially of those believing. 1 Tim. 4:10
- till I come, give heed to the reading, to the exhortation, to the teaching; 1 Tim. 4:13
- be not careless of the gift in thee, that was given thee through prophecy, with laying on of the hands of the eldership; 1 Tim. 4:14
- take heed to thyself, and to the teaching; remain in them, for this thing doing, both thyself thou shalt save, and those hearing thee. 1 Tim. 4:16
- and if any widow have children or grandchildren, let them learn first to their own house to show piety, and to give back a recompense to the parents, for this is right and acceptable before God. 1 Tim. 5:4
- And she who is really a widow and desolate, hath hoped upon God, and doth remain in the supplications and in the prayers night and day, 1 Tim. 5:5
- and if any one for his own -- and especially for those of the household -- doth not provide, the faith he hath denied, and than an unbeliever he is worse. 1 Tim. 5:8
- and younger widows be refusing, for when they may revel against the Christ, they wish to marry, 1 Tim. 5:11
- having judgment, because the first faith they did cast away, 1 Tim. 5:12
- and at the same time also, they learn to be idle, going about the houses; and not only idle, but also tattlers and busybodies, speaking the things they ought not; 1 Tim. 5:13
- I wish, therefore, younger ones to marry, to bear children, to be mistress of the house, to give no occasion to the opposer to reviling; 1 Tim. 5:14
- for already certain did turn aside after the Adversary. 1 Tim. 5:15
- If any believing man or believing woman have widows, let them relieve them, and let not the assembly be burdened, that those really widows it may relieve. 1 Tim. 5:16
- The well-leading elders of double honour let them be counted worthy, especially those labouring in word and teaching, 1 Tim. 5:17
- for the Writing saith, `An ox treading out thou shalt not muzzle,' and `Worthy is the workman of his reward.' 1 Tim. 5:18
- Those sinning, reprove before all, that the others also may have fear; 1 Tim. 5:20
- I testify fully, before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, and the choice messengers, that these things thou mayest keep, without forejudging, doing nothing by partiality. 1 Tim. 5:21
- of certain men the sins are manifest beforehand, leading before to judgment, and certain also they follow after; 1 Tim. 5:24
- in like manner also the right works are manifest beforehand, and those that are otherwise are not able to be hid. 1 Tim. 5:25
- As many as are servants under a yoke, their own masters worthy of all honour let them reckon, that the name of God and the teaching may not be evil spoken of; 1 Tim. 6:1
- and those having believing masters, let them not slight them, because they are brethren, but rather let them serve, because they are stedfast and beloved, who of the benefit are partaking. These things be teaching and exhorting; 1 Tim. 6:2
- if any one be teaching otherwise, and do not consent to sound words -- those of our Lord Jesus Christ -- and to the teaching according to piety, 1 Tim. 6:3
- wranglings of men wholly corrupted in mind, and destitute of the truth, supposing the piety to be gain; depart from such; 1 Tim. 6:5
- but it is great gain -- the piety with contentment; 1 Tim. 6:6
- for nothing did we bring into the world -- it is manifest that we are able to carry nothing out; 1 Tim. 6:7
- for a root of all the evils is the love of money, which certain longing for did go astray from the faith, and themselves did pierce through with many sorrows; 1 Tim. 6:10
- be striving the good strife of the faith, be laying hold on the life age-during, to which also thou wast called, and didst profess the right profession before many witnesses. 1 Tim. 6:12
- I charge thee, before God, who is making all things alive, and of Christ Jesus, who did testify before Pontius Pilate the right profession, 1 Tim. 6:13
- that thou keep the command unspotted, unblameable, till the manifestation of our Lord Jesus Christ, 1 Tim. 6:14
- which in His own times He shall shew -- the blessed and only potentate, the King of the kings and Lord of the lords, 1 Tim. 6:15
- Those rich in the present age charge thou not to be high-minded, nor to hope in the uncertainty of riches, but in the living God, who is giving to us all things richly for enjoyment; -- 1 Tim. 6:17
- treasuring up to themselves a right foundation for the time to come, that they may lay hold on the life age-during. 1 Tim. 6:19
- O Timotheus, the thing entrusted guard thou, avoiding the profane vain-words and opposition of the falsely-named knowledge, 1 Tim. 6:20
- which certain professing -- concerning the faith did swerve; the grace is with you. Amen. 1 Tim. 6:21
- Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ, through the will of God, according to a promise of life that is in Christ Jesus, 2 Tim. 1:1
- to Timotheus, beloved child: Grace, kindness, peace, from God the Father, and Christ Jesus our Lord! 2 Tim. 1:2
- taking remembrance of the unfeigned faith that is in thee, that dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and thy mother Eunice, and I am persuaded that also in thee. 2 Tim. 1:5
- For which cause I remind thee to stir up the gift of God that is in thee through the putting on of my hands, 2 Tim. 1:6
- therefore thou mayest not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner, but do thou suffer evil along with the good news according to the power of God, 2 Tim. 1:8
- who did save us, and did call with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace, that was given to us in Christ Jesus, before the times of the ages, 2 Tim. 1:9
- and was made manifest now through the manifestation of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who indeed did abolish death, and did enlighten life and immortality through the good news, 2 Tim. 1:10
- The pattern hold thou of sound words, which from me thou didst hear, in faith and love that is in Christ Jesus; 2 Tim. 1:13
- the good thing committed guard thou through the Holy Spirit that is dwelling in us; 2 Tim. 1:14
- may the Lord give kindness to the house of Onesiphorus, because many times he did refresh me, and of my chain was not ashamed, 2 Tim. 1:16
- may the Lord give to him to find kindness from the Lord in that day; and how many things in Ephesus he did minister thou dost very well know. 2 Tim. 1:18
- Thou, therefore, my child, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus, 2 Tim. 2:1
- and the things that thou didst hear from me through many witnesses, these things be committing to stedfast men, who shall be sufficient also others to teach; 2 Tim. 2:2
- no one serving as a soldier did entangle himself with the affairs of life, that him who did enlist him he may please; 2 Tim. 2:4
- the labouring husbandman it behoveth first of the fruits to partake; 2 Tim. 2:6
- be considering what things I say, for the Lord give to thee understanding in all things. 2 Tim. 2:7
- Remember Jesus Christ, raised out of the dead, of the seed of David, according to my good news, 2 Tim. 2:8
- in which I suffer evil -- unto bonds, as an evil-doer, but the word of God hath not been bound; 2 Tim. 2:9
- because of this all things do I endure, because of the choice ones, that they also salvation may obtain that is in Christ Jesus, with glory age-during. 2 Tim. 2:10
- Stedfast is the word: For if we died together -- we also shall live together; 2 Tim. 2:11
- These things remind them of, testifying fully before the Lord -- not to strive about words to nothing profitable, but to the subversion of those hearing; 2 Tim. 2:14
- be diligent to present thyself approved to God -- a workman irreproachable, rightly dividing the word of the truth; 2 Tim. 2:15
- and the profane vain talkings stand aloof from, for to more impiety they will advance, 2 Tim. 2:16
- who concerning the truth did swerve, saying the rising again to have already been, and do overthrow the faith of some; 2 Tim. 2:18
- sure, nevertheless, hath the foundation of God stood, having this seal, `The Lord hath known those who are His,' and `Let him depart from unrighteousness -- every one who is naming the name of Christ.' 2 Tim. 2:19
- if, then, any one may cleanse himself from these, he shall be a vessel to honour, sanctified and profitable to the master -- to every good work having been prepared, 2 Tim. 2:21
- and the youthful lusts flee thou, and pursue righteousness, faith, love, peace, with those calling upon the Lord out of a pure heart; 2 Tim. 2:22
- and the foolish and uninstructed questions be avoiding, having known that they beget strife, 2 Tim. 2:23
- and a servant of the Lord it behoveth not to strive, but to be gentle unto all, apt to teach, patient under evil, 2 Tim. 2:24
- in meekness instructing those opposing -- if perhaps God may give to them repentance to an acknowledging of the truth, 2 Tim. 2:25
- and they may awake out of the devil's snare, having been caught by him at his will. 2 Tim. 2:26
- And this know thou, that in the last days there shall come perilous times, 2 Tim. 3:1
- for of these there are those coming into the houses and leading captive the silly women, laden with sins, led away with desires manifold, 2 Tim. 3:6
- and, even as Jannes and Jambres stood against Moses, so also these do stand against the truth, men corrupted in mind, disapproved concerning the faith; 2 Tim. 3:8
- the persecutions, the afflictions, that befel me in Antioch, in Iconium, in Lystra; what persecutions I endured, and out of all the Lord did deliver me, 2 Tim. 3:11
- and evil men and impostors shall advance to the worse, leading astray and being led astray. 2 Tim. 3:13
- And thou -- be remaining in the things which thou didst learn and wast entrusted with, having known from whom thou didst learn, 2 Tim. 3:14
- and because from a babe the Holy Writings thou hast known, which are able to make thee wise -- to salvation, through faith that is in Christ Jesus; 2 Tim. 3:15
- that the man of God may be fitted -- for every good work having been completed. 2 Tim. 3:17
- I do fully testify, then, before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who is about to judge living and dead at his manifestation and his reign -- 2 Tim. 4:1
- preach the word; be earnest in season, out of season, convict, rebuke, exhort, in all long-suffering and teaching, 2 Tim. 4:2
- for there shall be a season when the sound teaching they will not suffer, but according to their own desires to themselves they shall heap up teachers -- itching in the hearing, 2 Tim. 4:3
- and indeed, from the truth the hearing they shall turn away, and to the fables they shall be turned aside. 2 Tim. 4:4
- And thou -- watch in all things; suffer evil; do the work of one proclaiming good news; of thy ministration make full assurance, 2 Tim. 4:5
- for I am already being poured out, and the time of my release hath arrived; 2 Tim. 4:6
- the good strife I have striven, the course I have finished, the faith I have kept, 2 Tim. 4:7
- henceforth there is laid up for me the crown of the righteousness that the Lord -- the Righteous Judge -- shall give to me in that day, and not only to me, but also to all those loving his manifestation. 2 Tim. 4:8
- for Demas forsook me, having loved the present age, and went on to Thessalonica, Crescens to Galatia, Titus to Dalmatia, 2 Tim. 4:10
- the cloak that I left in Troas with Carpus, coming, bring thou and the books -- especially the parchments. 2 Tim. 4:13
- Alexander the coppersmith did me much evil; may the Lord repay to him according to his works, 2 Tim. 4:14
- and the Lord stood by me, and did strengthen me, that through me the preaching might be fully assured, and all the nations might hear, and I was freed out of the mouth of a lion, 2 Tim. 4:17
- and the Lord shall free me from every evil work, and shall save me -- to his heavenly kingdom; to whom is the glory to the ages of the ages! Amen. 2 Tim. 4:18
- be diligent to come before winter. Salute thee doth Eubulus, and Pudens, and Linus, and Claudia, and all the brethren. 2 Tim. 4:21
- The Lord Jesus Christ is with thy spirit; the grace is with you! Amen. 2 Tim. 4:22
- Paul, a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of the choice ones of God, and an acknowledging of truth that is according to piety, Tit. 1:1
- to Titus -- true child according to a common faith: Grace, kindness, peace, from God the Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ our Saviour! Tit. 1:4
- For this cause left I thee in Crete, that the things lacking thou mayest arrange, and mayest set down in every city elders, as I did appoint to thee; Tit. 1:5
- for it behoveth the overseer to be blameless, as God's steward, not self-pleased, nor irascible, not given to wine, not a striker, not given to filthy lucre; Tit. 1:7
- holding -- according to the teaching -- to the stedfast word, that he may be able also to exhort in the sound teaching, and the gainsayers to convict; Tit. 1:9
- for there are many both insubordinate, vain-talkers, and mind-deceivers -- especially they of the circumcision -- Tit. 1:10
- this testimony is true; for which cause convict them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith, Tit. 1:13
- not giving heed to Jewish fables and commands of men, turning themselves away from the truth; Tit. 1:14
- all things, indeed, are pure to the pure, and to the defiled and unstedfast is nothing pure, but of them defiled are even the mind and the conscience; Tit. 1:15
- God they profess to know, and in the works they deny Him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work disapproved. Tit. 1:16
- And thou -- be speaking what doth become the sound teaching; Tit. 2:1
- aged men to be temperate, grave, sober, sound in the faith, in the love, in the endurance; Tit. 2:2
- that they may make the young women sober-minded, to be lovers of their husbands, lovers of their children, Tit. 2:4
- sober, pure, keepers of their own houses, good, subject to their own husbands, that the word of God may not be evil spoken of. Tit. 2:5
- The younger men, in like manner, be exhorting to be sober-minded; Tit. 2:6
- concerning all things thyself showing a pattern of good works; in the teaching uncorruptedness, gravity, incorruptibility, Tit. 2:7
- discourse sound, irreprehensible, that he who is of the contrary part may be ashamed, having nothing evil to say concerning you. Tit. 2:8
- not purloining, but showing all good stedfastness, that the teaching of God our Saviour they may adorn in all things. Tit. 2:10
- For the saving grace of God was manifested to all men, Tit. 2:11
- teaching us, that denying the impiety and the worldly desires, soberly and righteously and piously we may live in the present age, Tit. 2:12
- waiting for the blessed hope and manifestation of the glory of our great God and Saviour Jesus Christ, Tit. 2:13
- and when the kindness and the love to men of God our Saviour did appear Tit. 3:4
- (not by works that are in righteousness that we did but according to His kindness,) He did save us, through a bathing of regeneration, and a renewing of the Holy Spirit, Tit. 3:5
- that having been declared righteous by His grace, heirs we may become according to the hope of life age-during. Tit. 3:7
- Stedfast is the word; and concerning these things I counsel thee to affirm fully, that they may be thoughtful, to be leading in good works -- who have believed God; these are the good and profitable things to men, Tit. 3:8
- Zenas the lawyer and Apollos bring diligently on their way, that nothing to them may be lacking, Tit. 3:13
- and let them learn -- ours also -- to be leading in good works to the necessary uses, that they may not be unfruitful. Tit. 3:14
- Salute thee do all those with me; salute those loving us in faith; the grace is with you all! Tit. 3:15
- Paul, a prisoner of Christ Jesus, and Timotheus the brother, to Philemon our beloved and fellow-worker, Ph'm 1:1
- and Apphia the beloved, and Archippus our fellow-soldier, and the assembly in thy house: Ph'm 1:2
- Grace to you, and peace, from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ! Ph'm 1:3
- hearing of thy love and faith that thou hast unto the Lord Jesus and toward all the saints, Ph'm 1:5
- that the fellowship of thy faith may become working in the full knowledge of every good thing that is in you toward Christ Jesus; Ph'm 1:6
- for we have much joy and comfort in thy love, because the bowels of the saints have been refreshed through thee, brother. Ph'm 1:7
- because of the love I rather entreat, being such an one as Paul the aged, and now also a prisoner of Jesus Christ; Ph'm 1:9
- whom I did wish to retain to myself, that in thy behalf he might minister to me in the bonds of the good news, Ph'm 1:13
- no more as a servant, but above a servant -- a brother beloved, especially to me, and how much more to thee, both in the flesh and in the Lord! Ph'm 1:16
- Yes, brother, may I have profit of thee in the Lord; refresh my bowels in the Lord; Ph'm 1:20
- and at the same time also prepare for me a lodging, for I hope that through your prayers I shall be granted to you. Ph'm 1:22
- The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ is with your spirit! Amen. Ph'm 1:25
- In many parts, and many ways, God of old having spoken to the fathers in the prophets, Heb. 1:1
- in these last days did speak to us in a Son, whom He appointed heir of all things, through whom also He did make the ages; Heb. 1:2
- who being the brightness of the glory, and the impress of His subsistence, bearing up also the all things by the saying of his might -- through himself having made a cleansing of our sins, sat down at the right hand of the greatness in the highest, Heb. 1:3
- having become so much better than the messengers, as he did inherit a more excellent name than they. Heb. 1:4
- For to which of the messengers said He ever, `My Son thou art -- I to-day have begotten thee?' and again, `I will be to him for a father, and he shall be to Me for a son?' Heb. 1:5
- and when again He may bring in the first-born to the world, He saith, `And let them bow before him -- all messengers of God;' Heb. 1:6
- and unto the messengers, indeed, He saith, `Who is making His messengers spirits, and His ministers a flame of fire;' Heb. 1:7
- and unto the Son: `Thy throne, O God, is to the age of the age; a scepter of righteousness is the scepter of thy reign; Heb. 1:8
- and, `Thou, at the beginning, Lord, the earth didst found, and a work of thy hands are the heavens; Heb. 1:10
- and as a mantle Thou shall roll them together, and they shall be changed, and Thou art the same, and Thy years shall not fail.' Heb. 1:12
- And unto which of the messengers said He ever, `Sit at My right hand, till I may make thine enemies thy footstool?' Heb. 1:13
- Because of this it behoveth us more abundantly to take heed to the things heard, lest we may glide aside, Heb. 2:1
- for if the word being spoken through messengers did become stedfast, and every transgression and disobedience did receive a just recompense, Heb. 2:2
- how shall we escape, having neglected so great salvation? which a beginning receiving -- to be spoken through the Lord -- by those having heard was confirmed to us, Heb. 2:3
- God also bearing joint-witness both with signs and wonders, and manifold powers, and distributions of the Holy Spirit, according to His will. Heb. 2:4
- For not to messengers did He subject the coming world, concerning which we speak, Heb. 2:5
- Thou didst make him some little less than messengers, with glory and honour Thou didst crown him, and didst set him over the works of Thy hands, Heb. 2:7
- all things Thou didst put in subjection under his feet,' for in the subjecting to him the all things, nothing did He leave to him unsubjected, and now not yet do we see the all things subjected to him, Heb. 2:8
- and him who was made some little less than messengers we see -- Jesus -- because of the suffering of the death, with glory and honour having been crowned, that by the grace of God for every one he might taste of death. Heb. 2:9
- For it was becoming to Him, because of whom are the all things, and through whom are the all things, many sons to glory bringing, the author of their salvation through sufferings to make perfect, Heb. 2:10
- saying, `I will declare Thy name to my brethren, in the midst of an assembly I will sing praise to Thee;' Heb. 2:12
- and again, `I will be trusting on Him;' and again, `Behold I and the children that God did give to me.' Heb. 2:13
- Seeing, then, the children have partaken of flesh and blood, he himself also in like manner did take part of the same, that through death he might destroy him having the power of death -- that is, the devil -- Heb. 2:14
- wherefore it did behove him in all things to be made like to the brethren, that he might become a kind and stedfast chief-priest in the things with God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people, Heb. 2:17
- Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of a heavenly calling, consider the apostle and chief priest of our profession, Christ Jesus, Heb. 3:1
- for of more glory than Moses hath this one been counted worthy, inasmuch as more honour than the house hath he who doth build it, Heb. 3:3
- for every house is builded by some one, and He who the all things did build is God, Heb. 3:4
- and Christ, as a Son over his house, whose house are we, if the boldness and the rejoicing of the hope unto the end we hold fast. Heb. 3:6
- Wherefore, (as the Holy Spirit saith, `To-day, if His voice ye may hear -- Heb. 3:7
- ye may not harden your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of the temptation in the wilderness, Heb. 3:8
- See, brethren, lest there shall be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief in the falling away from the living God, Heb. 3:12
- but exhort ye one another every day, while the To-day is called, that none of you may be hardened by the deceitfulness of the sin, Heb. 3:13
- for partakers we have become of the Christ, if the beginning of the confidence unto the end we may hold fast, Heb. 3:14
- in its being said, `To-day, if His voice ye may hear, ye may not harden your hearts, as in the provocation,' Heb. 3:15
- but with whom was He grieved forty years? was it not with those who did sin, whose carcasses fell in the wilderness? Heb. 3:17
- for we also are having good news proclaimed, even as they, but the word heard did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in those who heard, Heb. 4:2
- for we do enter into the rest -- we who did believe, as He said, `So I sware in My anger, If they shall enter into My rest -- ;' and yet the works were done from the foundation of the world, Heb. 4:3
- for He spake in a certain place concerning the seventh day thus: `And God did rest in the seventh day from all His works;' Heb. 4:4
- there doth remain, then, a sabbatic rest to the people of God, Heb. 4:9
- May we be diligent, then, to enter into that rest, that no one in the same example of the unbelief may fall, Heb. 4:11
- for the reckoning of God is living, and working, and sharp above every two-edged sword, and piercing unto the dividing asunder both of soul and spirit, of joints also and marrow, and a discerner of thoughts and intents of the heart; Heb. 4:12
- Having, then, a great chief priest passed through the heavens -- Jesus the Son of God -- may we hold fast the profession, Heb. 4:14
- we may come near, then, with freedom, to the throne of the grace, that we may receive kindness, and find grace -- for seasonable help. Heb. 4:16
- and because of this infirmity he ought, as for the people, so also for himself to offer for sins; Heb. 5:3
- and no one to himself doth take the honour, but he who is called by God, as also Aaron: Heb. 5:4
- so also the Christ did not glorify himself to become chief priest, but He who spake unto him: `My Son thou art, I to-day have begotten thee;' Heb. 5:5
- as also in another place He saith, `Thou art a priest -- to the age, according to the order of Melchisedek;' Heb. 5:6
- who in the days of his flesh both prayers and supplications unto Him who was able to save him from death -- with strong crying and tears -- having offered up, and having been heard in respect to that which he feared, Heb. 5:7
- through being a Son, did learn by the things which he suffered -- the obedience, Heb. 5:8
- having been addressed by God a chief priest, according to the order of Melchisedek, Heb. 5:10
- for even owing to be teachers, because of the time, again ye have need that one teach you what are the elements of the beginning of the oracles of God, and ye have become having need of milk, and not of strong food, Heb. 5:12
- for every one who is partaking of milk is unskilled in the word of righteousness -- for he is an infant, Heb. 5:13
- and of perfect men is the strong food, who because of the use are having the senses exercised, unto the discernment both of good and of evil. Heb. 5:14
- Wherefore, having left the word of the beginning of the Christ, unto the perfection we may advance, not again a foundation laying of reformation from dead works, and of faith on God, Heb. 6:1
- of the teaching of baptisms, of laying on also of hands, of rising again also of the dead, and of judgment age-during, Heb. 6:2
- for it is impossible for those once enlightened, having tasted also of the heavenly gift, and partakers having became of the Holy Spirit, Heb. 6:4
- and did taste the good saying of God, the powers also of the coming age, Heb. 6:5
- and having fallen away, again to renew them to reformation, having crucified again to themselves the Son of God, and exposed to public shame. Heb. 6:6
- For earth, that is drinking in the rain many times coming upon it, and is bringing forth herbs fit for those because of whom also it is dressed, doth partake of blessing from God, Heb. 6:7
- and we are persuaded, concerning you, beloved, the things that are better, and accompanying salvation, though even thus we speak, Heb. 6:9
- for God is not unrighteous to forget your work, and the labour of the love, that ye shewed to His name, having ministered to the saints and ministering; Heb. 6:10
- and we desire each one of you the same diligence to shew, unto the full assurance of the hope unto the end, Heb. 6:11
- that ye may not become slothful, but followers of those who through faith and patient endurance are inheriting the promises. Heb. 6:12
- and so, having patiently endured, he did obtain the promise; Heb. 6:15
- for men indeed do swear by the greater, and an end of all controversy to them for confirmation is the oath, Heb. 6:16
- in which God, more abundantly willing to shew to the heirs of the promise the immutability of his counsel, did interpose by an oath, Heb. 6:17
- that through two immutable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, a strong comfort we may have who did flee for refuge to lay hold on the hope set before us, Heb. 6:18
- which we have, as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast, and entering into that within the vail, Heb. 6:19
- whither a forerunner for us did enter -- Jesus, after the order of Melchisedek chief priest having become -- to the age. Heb. 6:20
- For this Melchisedek, king of Salem, priest of God Most High, who did meet Abraham turning back from the smiting of the kings, and did bless him, Heb. 7:1
- without father, without mother, without genealogy, having neither beginning of days nor end of life, and being made like to the Son of God, doth remain a priest continually. Heb. 7:3
- And see how great this one is, to whom also a tenth Abraham the patriarch did give out of the best of the spoils, Heb. 7:4
- and those, indeed, out of the sons of Levi receiving the priesthood, a command have to take tithes from the people according to the law, that is, their brethren, even though they came forth out of the loins of Abraham; Heb. 7:5
- and he who was not reckoned by genealogy of them, received tithes from Abraham, and him having the promises he hath blessed, Heb. 7:6
- and apart from all controversy, the less by the better is blessed -- Heb. 7:7
- for he was yet in the loins of the father when Melchisedek met him. Heb. 7:10
- If indeed, then, perfection were through the Levitical priesthood -- for the people under it had received law -- what further need, according to the order of Melchisedek, for another priest to arise, and not to be called according to the order of Aaron? Heb. 7:11
- for the priesthood being changed, of necessity also, of the law a change doth come, Heb. 7:12
- for he of whom these things are said in another tribe hath had part, of whom no one gave attendance at the altar, Heb. 7:13
- And it is yet more abundantly most evident, if according to the similitude of Melchisedek there doth arise another priest, Heb. 7:15
- who came not according to the law of a fleshly command, but according to the power of an endless life, Heb. 7:16
- for He doth testify -- `Thou art a priest -- to the age, according to the order of Melchisedek;' Heb. 7:17
- for a disannulling indeed doth come of the command going before because of its weakness, and unprofitableness, Heb. 7:18
- (for nothing did the law perfect) and the bringing in of a better hope, through which we draw nigh to God. Heb. 7:19
- and he with an oath through Him who is saying unto him, `The Lord sware, and will not repent, Thou art a priest -- to the age, according to the order of Melchisedek;') Heb. 7:21
- and he, because of his remaining -- to the age, hath the priesthood not transient, Heb. 7:24
- whence also he is able to save to the very end, those coming through him unto God -- ever living to make intercession for them. Heb. 7:25
- For such a chief priest did become us -- kind, harmless, undefiled, separate from the sinners, and become higher than the heavens, Heb. 7:26
- who hath no necessity daily, as the chief priests, first for his own sins to offer up sacrifice, then for those of the people; for this he did once, having offered up himself; Heb. 7:27
- for the law doth appoint men chief priests, having infirmity, but the word of the oath that is after the law appointeth the Son -- to the age having been perfected. Heb. 7:28
- And the sum concerning the things spoken of is: we have such a chief priest, who did sit down at the right hand of the throne of the greatness in the heavens, Heb. 8:1
- of the holy places a servant, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord did set up, and not man, Heb. 8:2
- for if, indeed, he were upon earth, he would not be a priest -- (there being the priests who are offering according to the law, the gifts, Heb. 8:4
- who unto an example and shadow do serve of the heavenly things, as Moses hath been divinely warned, being about to construct the tabernacle, for `See (saith He) thou mayest make all things according to the pattern that was shewn to thee in the mount;') -- Heb. 8:5
- For finding fault, He saith to them, `Lo, days come, saith the Lord, and I will complete with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah, a new covenant, Heb. 8:8
- not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers, in the day of My taking them by their hand, to bring them out of the land of Egypt -- because they did not remain in My covenant, and I did not regard them, saith the Lord, -- Heb. 8:9
- because this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel, after those days, saith the Lord, giving My laws into their mind, and upon their hearts I will write them, and I will be to them for a God, and they shall be to Me for a people; Heb. 8:10
- and they shall not teach each his neighbour, and each his brother, saying, Know thou the Lord, because they shall all know Me from the small one of them unto the great one of them, Heb. 8:11
- in the saying `new,' He hath made the first old, and what doth become obsolete and is old is nigh disappearing. Heb. 8:13
- It had, indeed, then (even the first tabernacle) ordinances of service, also a worldly sanctuary, Heb. 9:1
- for a tabernacle was prepared, the first, in which was both the lamp-stand, and the table, and the bread of the presence -- which is called `Holy;' Heb. 9:2
- and after the second vail a tabernacle that is called `Holy of holies,' Heb. 9:3
- having a golden censer, and the ark of the covenant overlaid all round about with gold, in which is the golden pot having the manna, and the rod of Aaron that budded, and the tables of the covenant, Heb. 9:4
- and over it cherubim of the glory, overshadowing the mercy-seat, concerning which we are not now to speak particularly. Heb. 9:5
- And these things having been thus prepared, into the first tabernacle, indeed, at all times the priests do go in, performing the services, Heb. 9:6
- and into the second, once in the year, only the chief priest, not apart from blood, which he doth offer for himself and the errors of the people, Heb. 9:7
- the Holy Spirit this evidencing that not yet hath been manifested the way of the holy places, the first tabernacle having yet a standing; Heb. 9:8
- which is a simile in regard to the present time, in which both gifts and sacrifices are offered, which are not able, in regard to conscience, to make perfect him who is serving, Heb. 9:9
- only in victuals, and drinks, and different baptisms, and fleshly ordinances -- till the time of reformation imposed upon them. Heb. 9:10
- And Christ being come, chief priest of the coming good things, through the greater and more perfect tabernacle not made with hands -- that is, not of this creation -- Heb. 9:11
- neither through blood of goats and calves, but through his own blood, did enter in once into the holy places, age-during redemption having obtained; Heb. 9:12
- for if the blood of bulls, and goats, and ashes of an heifer, sprinkling those defiled, doth sanctify to the purifying of the flesh, Heb. 9:13
- how much more shall the blood of the Christ (who through the age-during Spirit did offer himself unblemished to God) purify your conscience from dead works to serve the living God? Heb. 9:14
- And because of this, of a new covenant he is mediator, that, death having come, for redemption of the transgressions under the first covenant, those called may receive the promise of the age-during inheritance, Heb. 9:15
- for where a covenant is, the death of the covenant-victim to come in is necessary, Heb. 9:16
- for a covenant over dead victims is stedfast, since it is no force at all when the covenant-victim liveth, Heb. 9:17
- whence not even the first apart from blood hath been initiated, Heb. 9:18
- for every command having been spoken, according to law, by Moses, to all the people, having taken the blood of the calves and goats, with water, and scarlet wool, and hyssop, he both the book itself and all the people did sprinkle, Heb. 9:19
- saying, `This is the blood of the covenant that God enjoined unto you,' Heb. 9:20
- and both the tabernacle and all the vessels of the service with blood in like manner he did sprinkle, Heb. 9:21
- and with blood almost all things are purified according to the law, and apart from blood-shedding forgiveness doth not come. Heb. 9:22
- It is necessary, therefore, the pattern indeed of the things in the heavens to be purified with these, and the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these; Heb. 9:23
- for not into holy places made with hands did the Christ enter -- figures of the true -- but into the heaven itself, now to be manifested in the presence of God for us; Heb. 9:24
- nor that he may many times offer himself, even as the chief priest doth enter into the holy places every year with blood of others; Heb. 9:25
- since it had behoved him many times to suffer from the foundation of the world, but now once, at the full end of the ages, for putting away of sin through his sacrifice, he hath been manifested; Heb. 9:26
- so also the Christ, once having been offered to bear the sins of many, a second time, apart from a sin-offering, shall appear, to those waiting for him -- to salvation! Heb. 9:28
- For the law having a shadow of the coming good things -- not the very image of the matters, every year, by the same sacrifices that they offer continually, is never able to make perfect those coming near, Heb. 10:1
- Wherefore, coming into the world, he saith, `Sacrifice and offering Thou didst not will, and a body Thou didst prepare for me, Heb. 10:5
- then I said, Lo, I come, (in a volume of the book it hath been written concerning me,) to do, O God, Thy will;' Heb. 10:7
- saying above -- `Sacrifice, and offering, and burnt-offerings, and concerning sin-offering Thou didst not will, nor delight in,' -- which according to the law are offered -- Heb. 10:8
- then he said, `Lo, I come to do, O God, Thy will;' he doth take away the first that the second he may establish; Heb. 10:9
- in the which will we are having been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once, Heb. 10:10
- and every priest, indeed, hath stood daily serving, and the same sacrifices many times offering, that are never able to take away sins. Heb. 10:11
- And He, for sin one sacrifice having offered -- to the end, did sit down on the right hand of God, -- Heb. 10:12
- as to the rest, expecting till He may place his enemies as his footstool, Heb. 10:13
- for by one offering he hath perfected to the end those sanctified; Heb. 10:14
- and testify to us also doth the Holy Spirit, for after that He hath said before, Heb. 10:15
- `This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, giving My laws on their hearts, and upon their minds I will write them,' Heb. 10:16
- Having, therefore, brethren, boldness for the entrance into the holy places, in the blood of Jesus, Heb. 10:19
- which way he did initiate for us -- new and living, through the vail, that is, his flesh -- Heb. 10:20
- and a high priest over the house of God, Heb. 10:21
- may we draw near with a true heart, in full assurance of faith, having the hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and having the body bathed with pure water; Heb. 10:22
- may we hold fast the unwavering profession of the hope, (for faithful is He who did promise), Heb. 10:23
- not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as a custom of certain is, but exhorting, and so much the more as ye see the day coming nigh. Heb. 10:25
- For we -- willfully sinning after the receiving the full knowledge of the truth -- no more for sins doth there remain a sacrifice, Heb. 10:26
- but a certain fearful looking for of judgment, and fiery zeal, about to devour the opposers; Heb. 10:27
- of how much sorer punishment shall he be counted worthy who the Son of God did trample on, and the blood of the covenant did count a common thing, in which he was sanctified, and to the Spirit of the grace did despite? Heb. 10:29
- for we have known Him who is saying, `Vengeance is Mine, I will recompense, saith the Lord;' and again, `The Lord shall judge His people;' -- Heb. 10:30
- fearful is the falling into the hands of a living God. Heb. 10:31
- And call to your remembrance the former days, in which, having been enlightened, ye did endure much conflict of sufferings, Heb. 10:32
- for also with my bonds ye sympathised, and the robbery of your goods with joy ye did receive, knowing that ye have in yourselves a better substance in the heavens, and an enduring one. Heb. 10:34
- for of patience ye have need, that the will of God having done, ye may receive the promise, Heb. 10:36
- and `the righteous by faith shall live,' and `if he may draw back, My soul hath no pleasure in him,' Heb. 10:38
- for in this were the elders testified of; Heb. 11:2
- by faith we understand the ages to have been prepared by a saying of God, in regard to the things seen not having come out of things appearing; Heb. 11:3
- By faith Noah, having been divinely warned concerning the things not yet seen, having feared, did prepare an ark to the salvation of his house, through which he did condemn the world, and of the righteousness according to faith he became heir. Heb. 11:7
- By faith Abraham, being called, did obey, to go forth to the place that he was about to receive for an inheritance, and he went forth, not knowing whither he doth go; Heb. 11:8
- by faith he did sojourn in the land of the promise as a strange country, in tabernacles having dwelt with Isaac and Jacob, fellow-heirs of the same promise, Heb. 11:9
- for he was looking for the city having the foundations, whose artificer and constructor is God. Heb. 11:10
- By faith also Sarah herself did receive power to conceive seed, and she bare after the time of life, seeing she did judge Him faithful who did promise; Heb. 11:11
- wherefore, also from one were begotten -- and that of one who had become dead -- as the stars of the heaven in multitude, and as sand that is by the sea-shore -- the innumerable. Heb. 11:12
- In faith died all these, not having received the promises, but from afar having seen them, and having been persuaded, and having saluted them, and having confessed that strangers and sojourners they are upon the earth, Heb. 11:13
- By faith Abraham hath offered up Isaac, being tried, and the only begotten he did offer up who did receive the promises, Heb. 11:17
- reckoning that even out of the dead God is able to raise up, whence also in a figure he did receive him. Heb. 11:19
- by faith Jacob dying -- each of the sons of Joseph did bless, and did bow down upon the top of his staff; Heb. 11:21
- by faith, Joseph dying, concerning the outgoing of the sons of Israel did make mention, and concerning his bones did give command. Heb. 11:22
- By faith Moses, having been born, was hid three months by his parents, because they saw the child comely, and were not afraid of the decree of the king; Heb. 11:23
- by faith Moses, having become great, did refuse to be called a son of the daughter of Pharaoh, Heb. 11:24
- having chosen rather to be afflicted with the people of God, than to have sin's pleasure for a season, Heb. 11:25
- greater wealth having reckoned the reproach of the Christ than the treasures in Egypt, for he did look to the recompense of reward; Heb. 11:26
- by faith he left Egypt behind, not having been afraid of the wrath of the king, for, as seeing the Invisible One -- he endured; Heb. 11:27
- by faith he kept the passover, and the sprinkling of the blood, that He who is destroying the first-born might not touch them. Heb. 11:28
- By faith they did pass through the Red Sea as through dry land, which the Egyptians having received a trial of, were swallowed up; Heb. 11:29
- by faith the walls of Jericho did fall, having been surrounded for seven days; Heb. 11:30
- by faith Rahab the harlot did not perish with those who disbelieved, having received the spies with peace. Heb. 11:31
- And what shall I yet say? for the time will fail me recounting about Gideon, Barak also, and Samson, and Jephthah, David also, and Samuel, and the prophets, Heb. 11:32
- quenched the power of fire, escaped the mouth of the sword, were made powerful out of infirmities, became strong in battle, caused to give way camps of the aliens. Heb. 11:34
- Women received by a rising again their dead, and others were tortured, not accepting the redemption, that a better rising again they might receive, Heb. 11:35
- they were stoned, they were sawn asunder, they were tried; in the killing of the sword they died; they went about in sheepskins, in goatskins -- being destitute, afflicted, injuriously treated, Heb. 11:37
- of whom the world was not worthy; in deserts wandering, and in mountains, and in caves, and in the holes of the earth; Heb. 11:38
- and these all, having been testified to through the faith, did not receive the promise, Heb. 11:39
- Therefore, we also having so great a cloud of witnesses set around us, every weight having put off, and the closely besetting sin, through endurance may we run the contest that is set before us, Heb. 12:1
- looking to the author and perfecter of faith -- Jesus, who, over-against the joy set before him -- did endure a cross, shame having despised, on the right hand also of the throne of God did sit down; Heb. 12:2
- for consider again him who endured such gainsaying from the sinners to himself, that ye may not be wearied in your souls -- being faint. Heb. 12:3
- Not yet unto blood did ye resist -- with the sin striving; Heb. 12:4
- and ye have forgotten the exhortation that doth speak fully with you as with sons, `My son, be not despising chastening of the Lord, nor be faint, being reproved by Him, Heb. 12:5
- for whom the Lord doth love He doth chasten, and He scourgeth every son whom He receiveth;' Heb. 12:6
- Then, indeed, fathers of our flesh we have had, chastising us, and we were reverencing them; shall we not much rather be subject to the Father of the spirits, and live? Heb. 12:9
- and all chastening for the present, indeed, doth not seem to be of joy, but of sorrow, yet afterward the peaceable fruit of righteousness to those exercised through it -- it doth yield. Heb. 12:11
- Wherefore, the hanging-down hands and the loosened knees set ye up; Heb. 12:12
- peace pursue with all, and the separation, apart from which no one shall see the Lord, Heb. 12:14
- looking diligently over lest any one be failing of the grace of God, lest any root of bitterness springing up may give trouble, and through this many may be defiled; Heb. 12:15
- for ye know that also afterwards, wishing to inherit the blessing, he was disapproved of, for a place of reformation he found not, though with tears having sought it. Heb. 12:17
- For ye came not near to the mount touched and scorched with fire, and to blackness, and darkness, and tempest, Heb. 12:18
- for they were not bearing that which is commanded, `And if a beast may touch the mountain, it shall be stoned, or with an arrow shot through,' Heb. 12:20
- and, (so terrible was the sight,) Moses said, `I am fearful exceedingly, and trembling.' Heb. 12:21
- But, ye came to Mount Zion, and to a city of the living God, to the heavenly Jerusalem, and to myriads of messengers, Heb. 12:22
- to the company and assembly of the first-born in heaven enrolled, and to God the judge of all, and to spirits of righteous men made perfect, Heb. 12:23
- whose voice the earth shook then, and now hath he promised, saying, `Yet once -- I shake not only the earth, but also the heaven;' Heb. 12:26
- and this -- `Yet once' -- doth make evident the removal of the things shaken, as of things having been made, that the things not shaken may remain; Heb. 12:27
- of the hospitality be not forgetful, for through this unawares certain did entertain messengers; Heb. 13:2
- be mindful of those in bonds, as having been bound with them, of those maltreated, as also yourselves being in the body; Heb. 13:3
- honourable is the marriage in all, and the bed undefiled, and whoremongers and adulterers God shall judge. Heb. 13:4
- Without covetousness the behaviour, being content with the things present, for He hath said, `No, I will not leave, no, nor forsake thee,' Heb. 13:5
- so that we do boldly say, `The Lord is to me a helper, and I will not fear what man shall do to me.' Heb. 13:6
- Be mindful of those leading you, who did speak to you the word of God, whose faith -- considering the issue of the behaviour -- be imitating, Heb. 13:7
- Jesus Christ yesterday and to-day the same, and to the ages; Heb. 13:8
- with teachings manifold and strange be not carried about, for it is good that by grace the heart be confirmed, not with meats, in which they who were occupied were not profited; Heb. 13:9
- we have an altar, of which to eat they have no authority who the tabernacle are serving, Heb. 13:10
- for of those beasts whose blood is brought for sin into the holy places through the chief priest -- of these the bodies are burned without the camp. Heb. 13:11
- Wherefore, also Jesus -- that he might sanctify through his own blood the people -- without the gate did suffer; Heb. 13:12
- now, then, may we go forth unto him without the camp, his reproach bearing; Heb. 13:13
- for we have not here an abiding city, but the coming one we seek; Heb. 13:14
- through him, then, we may offer up a sacrifice of praise always to God, that is, the fruit of lips, giving thanks to His name; Heb. 13:15
- And the God of the peace, who did bring up out of the dead the great shepherd of the sheep -- in the blood of an age-during covenant -- our Lord Jesus, Heb. 13:20
- make you perfect in every good work to do His will, doing in you that which is well-pleasing before Him, through Jesus Christ, to whom is the glory -- to the ages of the ages! Amen. Heb. 13:21
- And I entreat you, brethren, suffer the word of the exhortation, for also through few words I have written to you. Heb. 13:22
- Know ye that the brother Timotheus is released, with whom, if he may come more shortly, I will see you. Heb. 13:23
- Salute all those leading you, and all the saints; salute you doth those from Italy: Heb. 13:24
- the grace is with you all! Amen. Heb. 13:25
- James, of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ a servant, to the Twelve Tribes who are in the dispersion: Hail! Jas. 1:1
- knowing that the proof of your faith doth work endurance, Jas. 1:3
- and let the endurance have a perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire -- in nothing lacking; Jas. 1:4
- and let him ask in faith, nothing doubting, for he who is doubting hath been like a wave of the sea, driven by wind and tossed, Jas. 1:6
- for let not that man suppose that he shall receive anything from the Lord -- Jas. 1:7
- And let the brother who is low rejoice in his exaltation, Jas. 1:9
- and the rich in his becoming low, because as a flower of grass he shall pass away; Jas. 1:10
- for the sun did rise with the burning heat, and did wither the grass, and the flower of it fell, and the grace of its appearance did perish, so also the rich in his way shall fade away! Jas. 1:11
- Happy the man who doth endure temptation, because, becoming approved, he shall receive the crown of the life, which the Lord did promise to those loving Him. Jas. 1:12
- afterward the desire having conceived, doth give birth to sin, and the sin having been perfected, doth bring forth death. Jas. 1:15
- every good giving, and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the lights, with whom is no variation, or shadow of turning; Jas. 1:17
- for the wrath of a man the righteousness of God doth not work; Jas. 1:20
- wherefore having put aside all filthiness and superabundance of evil, in meekness be receiving the engrafted word, that is able to save your souls; Jas. 1:21
- and become ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves, Jas. 1:22
- because, if any one is a hearer of the word and not a doer, this one hath been like to a man viewing his natural face in a mirror, Jas. 1:23
- and he who did look into the perfect law -- that of liberty, and did continue there, this one -- not a forgetful hearer becoming, but a doer of work -- this one shall be happy in his doing. Jas. 1:25
- If any one doth think to be religious among you, not bridling his tongue, but deceiving his heart, of this one vain is the religion; Jas. 1:26
- religion pure and undefiled with the God and Father is this, to look after orphans and widows in their tribulation -- unspotted to keep himself from the world. Jas. 1:27
- My brethren, hold not, in respect of persons, the faith of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ, Jas. 2:1
- and ye may look upon him bearing the gay raiment, and may say to him, `Thou -- sit thou here well,' and to the poor man may say, `Thou -- stand thou there, or, Sit thou here under my footstool,' -- Jas. 2:3
- Hearken, my brethren beloved, did not God choose the poor of this world, rich in faith, and heirs of the reign that He promised to those loving Him? Jas. 2:5
- and ye did dishonour the poor one; do not the rich oppress you and themselves draw you to judgment-seats; Jas. 2:6
- do they not themselves speak evil of the good name that was called upon you? Jas. 2:7
- If, indeed, royal law ye complete, according to the Writing, `Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself,' -- ye do well; Jas. 2:8
- and if ye accept persons, sin ye do work, being convicted by the law as transgressors; Jas. 2:9
- for whoever the whole law shall keep, and shall stumble in one point, he hath become guilty of all; Jas. 2:10
- for the judgment without kindness is to him not having done kindness, and exult doth kindness over judgment. Jas. 2:13
- What is the profit, my brethren, if faith, any one may speak of having, and works he may not have? is that faith able to save him? Jas. 2:14
- and if a brother or sister may be naked, and may be destitute of the daily food, Jas. 2:15
- and any one of you may say to them, `Depart ye in peace, be warmed, and be filled,' and may not give to them the things needful for the body, what is the profit? Jas. 2:16
- so also the faith, if it may not have works, is dead by itself. Jas. 2:17
- thou -- thou dost believe that God is one; thou dost well, and the demons believe, and they shudder! Jas. 2:19
- And dost thou wish to know, O vain man, that the faith apart from the works is dead? Jas. 2:20
- Abraham our father -- was not he declared righteous out of works, having brought up Isaac his son upon the altar? Jas. 2:21
- dost thou see that the faith was working with his works, and out of the works the faith was perfected? Jas. 2:22
- and fulfilled was the Writing that is saying, `And Abraham did believe God, and it was reckoned to him -- to righteousness;' and, `Friend of God' he was called. Jas. 2:23
- and in like manner also Rahab the harlot -- was she not out of works declared righteous, having received the messengers, and by another way having sent forth? Jas. 2:25
- for as the body apart from the spirit is dead, so also the faith apart from the works is dead. Jas. 2:26
- for we all make many stumbles; if any one in word doth not stumble, this one is a perfect man, able to bridle also the whole body; Jas. 3:2
- lo, the bits we put into the mouths of the horses for their obeying us, and their whole body we turn about; Jas. 3:3
- lo, also the ships, being so great, and by fierce winds being driven, are led about by a very small helm, whithersoever the impulse of the helmsman doth counsel, Jas. 3:4
- so also the tongue is a little member, and doth boast greatly; lo, a little fire how much wood it doth kindle! Jas. 3:5
- and the tongue is a fire, the world of the unrighteousness, so the tongue is set in our members, which is spotting our whole body, and is setting on fire the course of nature, and is set on fire by the gehenna. Jas. 3:6
- For every nature, both of beasts and of fowls, both of creeping things and things of the sea, is subdued, and hath been subdued, by the human nature, Jas. 3:7
- and the tongue no one of men is able to subdue, it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison, Jas. 3:8
- with it we do bless the God and Father, and with it we do curse the men made according to the similitude of God; Jas. 3:9
- out of the same mouth doth come forth blessing and cursing; it doth not need, my brethren, these things so to happen; Jas. 3:10
- doth the fountain out of the same opening pour forth the sweet and the bitter? Jas. 3:11
- Who is wise and intelligent among you? let him shew out of the good behaviour his works in meekness of wisdom, Jas. 3:13
- and if bitter zeal ye have, and rivalry in your heart, glory not, nor lie against the truth; Jas. 3:14
- and the wisdom from above, first, indeed, is pure, then peaceable, gentle, easily entreated, full of kindness and good fruits, uncontentious, and unhypocritical: -- Jas. 3:17
- and the fruit of the righteousness in peace is sown to those making peace. Jas. 3:18
- Adulterers and adulteresses! have ye not known that friendship of the world is enmity with God? whoever, then, may counsel to be a friend of the world, an enemy of God he is set. Jas. 4:4
- Do ye think that emptily the Writing saith, `To envy earnestly desireth the spirit that did dwell in us,' Jas. 4:5
- be subject, then, to God; stand up against the devil, and he will flee from you; Jas. 4:7
- be exceeding afflicted, and mourn, and weep, let your laughter to mourning be turned, and the joy to heaviness; Jas. 4:9
- be made low before the Lord, and He shall exalt you. Jas. 4:10
- one is the lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy; thou -- who art thou that dost judge the other? Jas. 4:12
- who do not know the thing of the morrow; for what is your life? for it is a vapour that is appearing for a little, and then is vanishing; Jas. 4:14
- instead of your saying, `If the Lord may will, we shall live, and do this or that;' Jas. 4:15
- your gold and silver have rotted, and the rust of them for a testimony shall be to you, and shall eat your flesh as fire. Ye made treasure in the last days! Jas. 5:3
- lo, the reward of the workmen, of those who in-gathered your fields, which hath been fraudulently kept back by you -- doth cry out, and the exclamations of those who did reap into the ears of the Lord of Sabaoth have entered; Jas. 5:4
- ye did live in luxury upon the earth, and were wanton; ye did nourish your hearts, as in a day of slaughter; Jas. 5:5
- ye did condemn -- ye did murder the righteous one, he doth not resist you. Jas. 5:6
- Be patient, then, brethren, till the presence of the Lord; lo, the husbandman doth expect the precious fruit of the earth, being patient for it, till he may receive rain -- early and latter; Jas. 5:7
- be patient, ye also; establish your hearts, because the presence of the Lord hath drawn nigh; Jas. 5:8
- murmur not against one another, brethren, that ye may not be condemned; lo, the Judge before the door hath stood. Jas. 5:9
- An example take ye of the suffering of evil, my brethren, and of the patience, the prophets who did speak in the name of the Lord; Jas. 5:10
- lo, we call happy those who are enduring; the endurance of Job ye heard of, and the end of the Lord ye have seen, that very compassionate is the Lord, and pitying. Jas. 5:11
- And before all things, my brethren, do not swear, neither by the heaven, neither by the earth, neither by any other oath, and let your Yes be Yes, and the No, No; that under judgment ye may not fall. Jas. 5:12
- is any infirm among you? let him call for the elders of the assembly, and let them pray over him, having anointed him with oil, in the name of the Lord, Jas. 5:14
- and the prayer of the faith shall save the distressed one, and the Lord shall raise him up, and if sins he may have committed, they shall be forgiven to him. Jas. 5:15
- Be confessing to one another the trespasses, and be praying for one another, that ye may be healed; very strong is a working supplication of a righteous man; Jas. 5:16
- Elijah was a man like affected as we, and with prayer he did pray -- not to rain, and it did not rain upon the land three years and six months; Jas. 5:17
- and again he did pray, and the heaven did give rain, and the land did bring forth her fruit. Jas. 5:18
- Brethren, if any among you may go astray from the truth, and any one may turn him back, Jas. 5:19
- let him know that he who did turn back a sinner from the straying of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall cover a multitude of sins. Jas. 5:20
- Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the choice sojourners of the dispersion of Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia, 1 Pet. 1:1
- according to a foreknowledge of God the Father, in sanctification of the Spirit, to obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace to you and peace be multiplied! 1 Pet. 1:2
- Blessed is the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who, according to the abundance of His kindness did beget us again to a living hope, through the rising again of Jesus Christ out of the dead, 1 Pet. 1:3
- to an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and unfading, reserved in the heavens for you, 1 Pet. 1:4
- who, in the power of God are being guarded, through faith, unto salvation, ready to be revealed in the last time, 1 Pet. 1:5
- that the proof of your faith -- much more precious than of gold that is perishing, and through fire being approved -- may be found to praise, and honour, and glory, in the revelation of Jesus Christ, 1 Pet. 1:7
- receiving the end of your faith -- salvation of souls; 1 Pet. 1:9
- concerning which salvation seek out and search out did prophets who concerning the grace toward you did prophecy, 1 Pet. 1:10
- searching in regard to what or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ that was in them was manifesting, testifying beforehand the sufferings of Christ and the glory after these, 1 Pet. 1:11
- to whom it was revealed, that not to themselves, but to us they were ministering these, which now were told to you (through those who did proclaim good news to you,) in the Holy Spirit sent from heaven, to which things messengers do desire to bend looking. 1 Pet. 1:12
- Wherefore having girded up the loins of your mind, being sober, hope perfectly upon the grace that is being brought to you in the revelation of Jesus Christ, 1 Pet. 1:13
- as obedient children, not fashioning yourselves to the former desires in your ignorance, 1 Pet. 1:14
- and if on the Father ye do call, who without acceptance of persons is judging according to the work of each, in fear the time of your sojourn pass ye, 1 Pet. 1:17
- foreknown, indeed, before the foundation of the world, and manifested in the last times because of you, 1 Pet. 1:20
- who through him do believe in God, who did raise out of the dead, and glory to him did give, so that your faith and hope may be in God. 1 Pet. 1:21
- Your souls having purified in the obedience of the truth through the Spirit to brotherly love unfeigned, out of a pure heart one another love ye earnestly, 1 Pet. 1:22
- being begotten again, not out of seed corruptible, but incorruptible, through a word of God -- living and remaining -- to the age; 1 Pet. 1:23
- because all flesh is as grass, and all glory of man as flower of grass; wither did the grass, and the flower of it fell away, 1 Pet. 1:24
- and the saying of the Lord doth remain -- to the age; and this is the saying that was proclaimed good news to you. 1 Pet. 1:25
- as new-born babes the word's pure milk desire ye, that in it ye may grow, 1 Pet. 2:2
- if so be ye did taste that the Lord is gracious, 1 Pet. 2:3
- Wherefore, also, it is contained in the Writing: `Lo, I lay in Zion a chief corner-stone, choice, precious, and he who is believing on him may not be put to shame;' 1 Pet. 2:6
- to you, then, who are believing is the preciousness; and to the unbelieving, a stone that the builders disapproved of, this one did become for the head of a corner, 1 Pet. 2:7
- and a stone of stumbling and a rock of offence -- who are stumbling at the word, being unbelieving, -- to which also they were set; 1 Pet. 2:8
- and ye are a choice race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people acquired, that the excellences ye may shew forth of Him who out of darkness did call you to His wondrous light; 1 Pet. 2:9
- who were once not a people, and are now the people of God; who had not found kindness, and now have found kindness. 1 Pet. 2:10
- Beloved, I call upon you, as strangers and sojourners, to keep from the fleshly desires, that war against the soul, 1 Pet. 2:11
- having your behaviour among the nations right, that in that which they speak against you as evil-doers, of the good works having beheld, they may glorify God in a day of inspection. 1 Pet. 2:12
- Be subject, then, to every human creation, because of the Lord, whether to a king, as the highest, 1 Pet. 2:13
- because, so is the will of God, doing good, to put to silence the ignorance of the foolish men; 1 Pet. 2:15
- as free, and not having the freedom as the cloak of the evil, but as servants of God; 1 Pet. 2:16
- to all give ye honour; the brotherhood love ye; God fear ye; the king honour ye. 1 Pet. 2:17
- The domestics! be subjecting yourselves in all fear to the masters, not only to the good and gentle, but also to the cross; 1 Pet. 2:18
- who our sins himself did bear in his body, upon the tree, that to the sins having died, to the righteousness we may live; by whose stripes ye were healed, 1 Pet. 2:24
- for ye were as sheep going astray, but ye turned back now to the shepherd and overseer of your souls. 1 Pet. 2:25
- In like manner, the wives, be ye subject to your own husbands, that even if certain are disobedient to the word, through the conversation of the wives, without the word, they may be won, 1 Pet. 3:1
- but -- the hidden man of the heart, in the incorruptible thing of the meek and quiet spirit, which is, before God, of great price, 1 Pet. 3:4
- for thus once also the holy women who did hope on God, were adorning themselves, being subject to their own husbands, 1 Pet. 3:5
- The husbands, in like manner, dwelling with them, according to knowledge, as to a weaker vessel -- to the wife -- imparting honour, as also being heirs together of the grace of life, that your prayers be not hindered. 1 Pet. 3:7
- not giving back evil for evil, or railing for railing, and on the contrary, blessing, having known that to this ye were called, that a blessing ye may inherit; 1 Pet. 3:9
- because the eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous, and His ears -- to their supplication, and the face of the Lord is upon those doing evil;' 1 Pet. 3:12
- and the Lord God sanctify in your hearts. And be ready always for defence to every one who is asking of you an account concerning the hope that is in you, with meekness and fear; 1 Pet. 3:15
- for it is better doing good, if the will of God will it, to suffer, than doing evil; 1 Pet. 3:17
- because also Christ once for sin did suffer -- righteous for unrighteous -- that he might lead us to God, having been put to death indeed, in the flesh, and having been made alive in the spirit, 1 Pet. 3:18
- in which also to the spirits in prison having gone he did preach, 1 Pet. 3:19
- who sometime disbelieved, when once the long-suffering of God did wait, in days of Noah -- an ark being preparing -- in which few, that is, eight souls, were saved through water; 1 Pet. 3:20
- also to which an antitype doth now save us -- baptism, (not a putting away of the filth of flesh, but the question of a good conscience in regard to God,) through the rising again of Jesus Christ, 1 Pet. 3:21
- who is at the right hand of God, having gone on to heaven -- messengers, and authorities, and powers, having been subjected to him. 1 Pet. 3:22
- Christ, then, having suffered for us in the flesh, ye also with the same mind arm yourselves, because he who did suffer in the flesh hath done with sin, 1 Pet. 4:1
- no more in the desires of men, but in the will of God, to live the rest of the time in the flesh; 1 Pet. 4:2
- for sufficient to us is the past time of life the will of the nations to have wrought, having walked in lasciviousnesses, desires, excesses of wines, revelings, drinking-bouts, and unlawful idolatries, 1 Pet. 4:3
- in which they think it strange -- your not running with them to the same excess of dissoluteness, speaking evil, 1 Pet. 4:4
- for for this also to dead men was good news proclaimed, that they may be judged, indeed, according to men in the flesh, and may live according to God in the spirit. 1 Pet. 4:6
- And of all things the end hath come nigh; be sober-minded, then, and watch unto the prayers, 1 Pet. 4:7
- and, before all things, to one another having the earnest love, because the love shall cover a multitude of sins; 1 Pet. 4:8
- each, according as he received a gift, to one another ministering it, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God; 1 Pet. 4:10
- if any one doth speak -- `as oracles of God;' if any one doth minister -- `as of the ability which God doth supply;' that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom is the glory and the power -- to the ages of the ages. Amen. 1 Pet. 4:11
- Beloved, think it not strange at the fiery suffering among you that is coming to try you, as if a strange thing were happening to you, 1 Pet. 4:12
- but, according as ye have fellowship with the sufferings of the Christ, rejoice ye, that also in the revelation of his glory ye may rejoice -- exulting; 1 Pet. 4:13
- if ye be reproached in the name of Christ -- happy are ye, because the Spirit of glory and of God upon you doth rest; in regard, indeed, to them, he is evil-spoken of, and in regard to you, he is glorified; 1 Pet. 4:14
- because it is the time of the beginning of the judgment from the house of God, and if first from us, what the end of those disobedient to the good news of God? 1 Pet. 4:17
- And if the righteous man is scarcely saved, the ungodly and sinner -- where shall he appear? 1 Pet. 4:18
- so that also those suffering according to the will of god, as to a stedfast Creator, let them commit their own souls in good doing. 1 Pet. 4:19
- Elders who are among you, I exhort, who am a fellow-elder, and a witness of the sufferings of the Christ, and of the glory about to be revealed a partaker, 1 Pet. 5:1
- feed the flock of God that is among you, overseeing not constrainedly, but willingly, neither for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind, 1 Pet. 5:2
- neither as exercising lordship over the heritages, but patterns becoming of the flock, 1 Pet. 5:3
- and at the manifestation of the chief Shepherd, ye shall receive the unfading crown of glory. 1 Pet. 5:4
- In like manner, ye younger, be subject to elders, and all to one another subjecting yourselves; with humble-mindedness clothe yourselves, because God the proud doth resist, but to the humble He doth give grace; 1 Pet. 5:5
- be humbled, then, under the powerful hand of God, that you He may exalt in good time, 1 Pet. 5:6
- Be sober, vigilant, because your opponent the devil, as a roaring lion, doth walk about, seeking whom he may swallow up, 1 Pet. 5:8
- whom resist, stedfast in the faith, having known the same sufferings to your brotherhood in the world to be accomplished. 1 Pet. 5:9
- And the God of all grace, who did call you to His age-during glory in Christ Jesus, having suffered a little, Himself make you perfect, establish, strengthen, settle you; 1 Pet. 5:10
- to Him is the glory, and the power -- to the ages and the ages! Amen. 1 Pet. 5:11
- Through Silvanus, to you the faithful brother, as I reckon, through few words I did write, exhorting and testifying this to be the true grace of God in which ye have stood. 1 Pet. 5:12
- Salute you doth the assembly in Babylon jointly elected, and Markus my son. 1 Pet. 5:13
- Simeon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who did obtain a like precious faith with us in the righteousness of our God and Saviour Jesus Christ: 2 Pet. 1:1
- Grace to you, and peace be multiplied in the acknowledgement of God and of Jesus our Lord! 2 Pet. 1:2
- As all things to us His divine power (the things pertaining unto life and piety) hath given, through the acknowledgement of him who did call us through glory and worthiness, 2 Pet. 1:3
- through which to us the most great and precious promises have been given, that through these ye may become partakers of a divine nature, having escaped from the corruption in the world in desires. 2 Pet. 1:4
- And this same also -- all diligence having brought in besides, superadd in your faith the worthiness, and in the worthiness the knowledge, 2 Pet. 1:5
- and in the knowledge the temperance, and in the temperance the endurance, and in the endurance the piety, 2 Pet. 1:6
- and in the piety the brotherly kindness, and in the brotherly kindness the love; 2 Pet. 1:7
- for these things being to you and abounding, do make you neither inert nor unfruitful in regard to the acknowledging of our Lord Jesus Christ, 2 Pet. 1:8
- for he with whom these things are not present is blind, dim-sighted, having become forgetful of the cleansing of his old sins; 2 Pet. 1:9
- wherefore, the rather, brethren, be diligent to make stedfast your calling and choice, for these things doing, ye may never stumble, 2 Pet. 1:10
- for so, richly shall be superadded to you the entrance into the age-during reign of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. 2 Pet. 1:11
- Wherefore, I will not be careless always to remind you concerning these things, though, having known them, and having been established in the present truth, 2 Pet. 1:12
- having known that soon is the laying aside of my tabernacle, even as also our Lord Jesus Christ did shew to me, 2 Pet. 1:14
- and I will be diligent that also at every time ye have, after my outgoing, power to make to yourselves the remembrance of these things. 2 Pet. 1:15
- For, skilfully devised fables not having followed out, we did make known to you the power and presence of our Lord Jesus Christ, but eye-witnesses having become of his majesty -- 2 Pet. 1:16
- for having received from God the Father honour and glory, such a voice being borne to him by the excellent glory: `This is My Son -- the beloved, in whom I was well pleased;' 2 Pet. 1:17
- and this voice we -- we did hear, out of heaven borne, being with him in the holy mount. 2 Pet. 1:18
- And we have more firm the prophetic word, to which we do well giving heed, as to a lamp shining in a dark place, till day may dawn, and a morning star may arise -- in your hearts; 2 Pet. 1:19
- this first knowing, that no prophecy of the Writing doth come of private exposition, 2 Pet. 1:20
- for not by will of man did ever prophecy come, but by the Holy Spirit borne on holy men of God spake. 2 Pet. 1:21
- And there did come also false prophets among the people, as also among you there shall be false teachers, who shall bring in besides destructive sects, and the Master who bought them denying, bringing to themselves quick destruction, 2 Pet. 2:1
- and many shall follow out their destructive ways, because of whom the way of the truth shall be evil spoken of, 2 Pet. 2:2
- and the old world did not spare, but the eighth person, Noah, of righteousness a preacher, did keep, a flood on the world of the impious having brought, 2 Pet. 2:5
- and the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah having turned to ashes, with an overthrow did condemn, an example to those about to be impious having set them; 2 Pet. 2:6
- and righteous Lot, worn down by the conduct in lasciviousness of the impious, He did rescue, 2 Pet. 2:7
- for in seeing and hearing, the righteous man, dwelling among them, day by day the righteous soul with unlawful works was harassing. 2 Pet. 2:8
- The Lord hath known to rescue pious ones out of temptation, and unrighteous ones to a day of judgment, being punished, to keep, 2 Pet. 2:9
- and chiefly those going behind the flesh in desire of uncleanness, and lordship despising; presumptuous, self-complacent, dignities they are not afraid to speak evil of, 2 Pet. 2:10
- whereas messengers, in strength and power being greater, do not bear against them before the Lord an evil speaking judgment; 2 Pet. 2:11
- about to receive a reward of unrighteousness, pleasures counting the luxury in the day, spots and blemishes, luxuriating in their deceits, feasting with you, 2 Pet. 2:13
- having forsaken a right way, they did go astray, having followed in the way of Balaam the son of Bosor, who a reward of unrighteousness did love, 2 Pet. 2:15
- and had a rebuke of his own iniquity -- a dumb ass, in man's voice having spoken, did forbid the madness of the prophet. 2 Pet. 2:16
- These are wells without water, and clouds by a tempest driven, to whom the thick gloom of the darkness to the age hath been kept; 2 Pet. 2:17
- for overswellings of vanity speaking, they do entice in desires of the flesh -- lasciviousnesses, those who had truly escaped from those conducting themselves in error, 2 Pet. 2:18
- liberty to them promising, themselves being servants of the corruption, for by whom any one hath been overcome, to this one also he hath been brought to servitude, 2 Pet. 2:19
- for, if having escaped from the pollutions of the world, in the acknowledging of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, and by these again being entangled, they have been overcome, become to them hath the last things worse than the first, 2 Pet. 2:20
- for it were better to them not to have acknowledged the way of the righteousness, than having acknowledged it, to turn back from the holy command delivered to them, 2 Pet. 2:21
- and happened to them hath that of the true similitude; `A dog did turn back upon his own vomit,' and, `A sow having bathed herself -- to rolling in mire.' 2 Pet. 2:22
- to be mindful of the sayings said before by the holy prophets, and of the command of us the apostles of the Lord and Saviour, 2 Pet. 3:2
- this first knowing, that there shall come in the latter end of the days scoffers, according to their own desires going on, 2 Pet. 3:3
- and saying, `Where is the promise of his presence? for since the fathers did fall asleep, all things so remain from the beginning of the creation;' 2 Pet. 3:4
- for this is unobserved by them willingly, that the heavens were of old, and the earth out of water and through water standing together by the word of God, 2 Pet. 3:5
- through which the then world, by water having been deluged, was destroyed; 2 Pet. 3:6
- and the present heavens and the earth, by the same word are treasured, for fire being kept to a day of judgment and destruction of the impious men. 2 Pet. 3:7
- And this one thing let not be unobserved by you, beloved, that one day with the Lord is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day; 2 Pet. 3:8
- the Lord is not slow in regard to the promise, as certain count slowness, but is long-suffering to us, not counselling any to be lost but all to pass on to reformation, 2 Pet. 3:9
- and it will come -- the day of the Lord -- as a thief in the night, in which the heavens with a rushing noise will pass away, and the elements with burning heat be dissolved, and earth and the works in it shall be burnt up. 2 Pet. 3:10
- waiting for and hasting to the presence of the day of God, by which the heavens, being on fire, shall be dissolved, and the elements with burning heat shall melt; 2 Pet. 3:12
- and the long-suffering of our Lord count ye salvation, according as also our beloved brother Paul -- according to the wisdom given to him -- did write to you, 2 Pet. 3:15
- as also in all the epistles, speaking in them concerning these things, among which things are certain hard to be understood, which the untaught and unstable do wrest, as also the other Writings, unto their own destruction. 2 Pet. 3:16
- Ye, then, beloved, knowing before, take heed, lest, together with the error of the impious being led away, ye may fall from your own stedfastness, 2 Pet. 3:17
- and increase ye in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ; to him is the glory both now, and to the day of the age! Amen. 2 Pet. 3:18
- That which was from the beginning, that which we have heard, that which we have seen with our eyes, that which we did behold, and our hands did handle, concerning the Word of the Life -- 1 Jn. 1:1
- and the Life was manifested, and we have seen, and do testify, and declare to you the Life, the age-during, which was with the Father, and was manifested to us -- 1 Jn. 1:2
- that which we have seen and heard declare we to you, that ye also may have fellowship with us, and our fellowship is with the Father, and with His Son Jesus Christ; 1 Jn. 1:3
- And this is the message that we have heard from Him, and announce to you, that God is light, and darkness in Him is not at all; 1 Jn. 1:5
- if we may say -- `we have fellowship with Him,' and in the darkness may walk -- we lie, and do not the truth; 1 Jn. 1:6
- and if in the light we may walk, as He is in the light -- we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son doth cleanse us from every sin; 1 Jn. 1:7
- if we may say -- `we have not sin,' ourselves we lead astray, and the truth is not in us; 1 Jn. 1:8
- if we may confess our sins, stedfast He is and righteous that He may forgive us the sins, and may cleanse us from every unrighteousness; 1 Jn. 1:9
- My little children, these things I write to you, that ye may not sin: and if any one may sin, an advocate we have with the Father, Jesus Christ, a righteous one, 1 Jn. 2:1
- and he -- he is a propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only, but also for the whole world, 1 Jn. 2:2
- he who is saying, `I have known him,' and his command is not keeping, a liar he is, and in him the truth is not; 1 Jn. 2:4
- and whoever may keep his word, truly in him the love of God hath been perfected; in this we know that in him we are. 1 Jn. 2:5
- Brethren, a new command I write not to you, but an old command, that ye had from the beginning -- the old command is the word that ye heard from the beginning; 1 Jn. 2:7
- again, a new command I write to you, which thing is true in him and in you, because the darkness doth pass away, and the true light doth now shine; 1 Jn. 2:8
- he who is saying, in the light he is, and his brother is hating, in the darkness he is till now; 1 Jn. 2:9
- he who is loving his brother, in the light he doth remain, and a stumbling-block in him there is not; 1 Jn. 2:10
- and he who is hating his brother, in the darkness he is, and in the darkness he doth walk, and he hath not known whither he doth go, because the darkness did blind his eyes. 1 Jn. 2:11
- I write to you, little children, because the sins have been forgiven you through his name; 1 Jn. 2:12
- I write to you, fathers, because ye have known him who is from the beginning; I write to you, young men, because ye have overcome the evil. I write to you, little youths, because ye have known the Father: 1 Jn. 2:13
- I did write to you, fathers, because ye have known him who is from the beginning; I did write to you, young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God in you doth remain, and ye have overcome the evil. 1 Jn. 2:14
- Love not ye the world, nor the things in the world; if any one doth love the world, the love of the Father is not in him, 1 Jn. 2:15
- because all that is in the world -- the desire of the flesh, and the desire of the eyes, and the ostentation of the life -- is not of the Father, but of the world, 1 Jn. 2:16
- and the world doth pass away, and the desire of it, and he who is doing the will of God, he doth remain -- to the age. 1 Jn. 2:17
- Little youths, it is the last hour; and even as ye heard that the antichrist doth come, even now antichrists have become many -- whence we know that it is the last hour; 1 Jn. 2:18
- And ye have an anointing from the Holy One, and have known all things; 1 Jn. 2:20
- I did not write to you because ye have not known the truth, but because ye have known it, and because no lie is of the truth. 1 Jn. 2:21
- Who is the liar, except he who is denying that Jesus is the Christ? this one is the antichrist who is denying the Father and the Son; 1 Jn. 2:22
- every one who is denying the Son, neither hath he the Father, he who is confessing the Son hath the Father also. 1 Jn. 2:23
- Ye, then, that which ye heard from the beginning, in you let it remain; if in you may remain that which from the beginning ye did hear, ye also in the Son and in the Father shall remain, 1 Jn. 2:24
- and this is the promise that He did promise us -- the life the age-during. 1 Jn. 2:25
- and you, the anointing that ye did receive from him, in you it doth remain, and ye have no need that any one may teach you, but as the same anointing doth teach you concerning all, and is true, and is not a lie, and even as was taught you, ye shall remain in him. 1 Jn. 2:27
- if ye know that he is righteous, know ye that every one doing the righteousness, of him hath been begotten. 1 Jn. 2:29
- See ye what love the Father hath given to us, that children of God we may be called; because of this the world doth not know us, because it did not know Him; 1 Jn. 3:1
- Every one who is doing the sin, the lawlessness also he doth do, and the sin is the lawlessness, 1 Jn. 3:4
- Little children, let no one lead you astray; he who is doing the righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous, 1 Jn. 3:7
- he who is doing the sin, of the devil he is, because from the beginning the devil doth sin; for this was the Son of God manifested, that he may break up the works of the devil; 1 Jn. 3:8
- In this manifest are the children of God, and the children of the devil; every one who is not doing righteousness, is not of God, and he who is not loving his brother, 1 Jn. 3:10
- because this is the message that ye did hear from the beginning, that we may love one another, 1 Jn. 3:11
- not as Cain -- of the evil one he was, and he did slay his brother, and wherefore did he slay him? because his works were evil, and those of his brother righteous. 1 Jn. 3:12
- Do not wonder, my brethren, if the world doth hate you; 1 Jn. 3:13
- we -- we have known that we have passed out of the death to the life, because we love the brethren; he who is not loving the brother doth remain in the death. 1 Jn. 3:14
- in this we have known the love, because he for us his life did lay down, and we ought for the brethren the lives to lay down; 1 Jn. 3:16
- and whoever may have the goods of the world, and may view his brother having need, and may shut up his bowels from him -- how doth the love of God remain in him? 1 Jn. 3:17
- and in this we know that of the truth we are, and before Him we shall assure our hearts, 1 Jn. 3:19
- and whatever we may ask, we receive from Him, because His commands we keep, and the things pleasing before Him we do, 1 Jn. 3:22
- and this is His command, that we may believe in the name of His Son Jesus Christ, and may love one another, even as He did give command to us, 1 Jn. 3:23
- and he who is keeping His commands, in Him he doth remain, and He in him; and in this we know that He doth remain in us, from the Spirit that He gave us. 1 Jn. 3:24
- Beloved, every spirit believe not, but prove the spirits, if of God they are, because many false prophets have gone forth to the world; 1 Jn. 4:1
- in this know ye the Spirit of God; every spirit that doth confess Jesus Christ in the flesh having come, of God it is, 1 Jn. 4:2
- and every spirit that doth not confess Jesus Christ in the flesh having come, of God it is not; and this is that of the antichrist, which ye heard that it doth come, and now in the world it is already. 1 Jn. 4:3
- Ye -- of God ye are, little children, and ye have overcome them; because greater is He who is in you, than he who is in the world. 1 Jn. 4:4
- They -- of the world they are; because of this from the world they speak, and the world doth hear them; 1 Jn. 4:5
- we -- of God we are; he who is knowing God doth hear us; he who is not of God, doth not hear us; from this we know the spirit of the truth, and the spirit of the error. 1 Jn. 4:6
- Beloved, may we love one another, because the love is of God, and every one who is loving, of God he hath been begotten, and doth know God; 1 Jn. 4:7
- In this was manifested the love of God in us, because His Son -- the only begotten -- hath God sent to the world, that we may live through him; 1 Jn. 4:9
- in this is the love, not that we loved God, but that He did love us, and did send His Son a propitiation for our sins. 1 Jn. 4:10
- And we -- we have seen and do testify, that the Father hath sent the Son -- Saviour of the world; 1 Jn. 4:14
- whoever may confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God in him doth remain, and he in God; 1 Jn. 4:15
- and we -- we have known and believed the love, that God hath in us; God is love, and he who is remaining in the love, in God he doth remain, and God in him. 1 Jn. 4:16
- In this made perfect hath been the love with us, that boldness we may have in the day of the judgment, because even as He is, we -- we also are in this world; 1 Jn. 4:17
- fear is not in the love, but the perfect love doth cast out the fear, because the fear hath punishment, and he who is fearing hath not been made perfect in the love; 1 Jn. 4:18
- and this is the command we have from Him, that he who is loving God, may also love his brother. 1 Jn. 4:21
- Every one who is believing that Jesus is the Christ, of God he hath been begotten, and every one who is loving Him who did beget, doth love also him who is begotten of Him: 1 Jn. 5:1
- in this we know that we love the children of God, when we may love God, and His commands may keep; 1 Jn. 5:2
- for this is the love of God, that His commands we may keep, and His commands are not burdensome; 1 Jn. 5:3
- because every one who is begotten of God doth overcome the world, and this is the victory that did overcome the world -- our faith; 1 Jn. 5:4
- who is he who is overcoming the world, if not he who is believing that Jesus is the Son of God? 1 Jn. 5:5
- This one is he who did come through water and blood -- Jesus the Christ, not in the water only, but in the water and the blood; and the Spirit it is that is testifying, because the Spirit is the truth, 1 Jn. 5:6
- because three are who are testifying in the heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit, and these -- the three -- are one; 1 Jn. 5:7
- and three are who are testifying in the earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood, and the three are into the one. 1 Jn. 5:8
- If the testimony of men we receive, the testimony of God is greater, because this is the testimony of God that He hath testified concerning His Son. 1 Jn. 5:9
- He who is believing in the Son of God, hath the testimony in himself; he who is not believing God, a liar hath made Him, because he hath not believed in the testimony that God hath testified concerning His Son; 1 Jn. 5:10
- and this is the testimony, that life age-during did God give to us, and this -- the life -- is in His Son; 1 Jn. 5:11
- he who is having the Son, hath the life; he who is not having the Son of God -- the life he hath not. 1 Jn. 5:12
- These things I did write to you who are believing in the name of the Son of God, that ye may know that life ye have age-during, and that ye may believe in the name of the Son of God. 1 Jn. 5:13
- And this is the boldness that we have toward Him, that if anything we may ask according to his will, He doth hear us, 1 Jn. 5:14
- and if we have known that He doth hear us, whatever we may ask, we have known that we have the requests that we have requested from Him. 1 Jn. 5:15
- We have known that every one who hath been begotten of God doth not sin, but he who was begotten of God doth keep himself, and the evil one doth not touch him; 1 Jn. 5:18
- we have known that of God we are, and the whole world in the evil doth lie; 1 Jn. 5:19
- and we have known that the Son of God is come, and hath given us a mind, that we may know Him who is true, and we are in Him who is true, in His Son Jesus Christ; this one is the true God and the life age-during! 1 Jn. 5:20
- Little children, guard yourselves from the idols! Amen. 1 Jn. 5:21
- The Elder to the choice Kyria, and to her children, whom I love in truth, and not I only, but also all those having known the truth, 2 Jn. 1:1
- because of the truth that is remaining in us, and with us shall be to the age, 2 Jn. 1:2
- there shall be with you grace, kindness, peace, from God the Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love. 2 Jn. 1:3
- I rejoiced exceedingly that I have found of thy children walking in truth, even as a command we did receive from the Father; 2 Jn. 1:4
- and now I beseech thee, Kyria, not as writing to thee a new command, but which we had from the beginning, that we may love one another, 2 Jn. 1:5
- and this is the love, that we may walk according to His commands; this is the command, even as ye did hear from the beginning, that in it ye may walk, 2 Jn. 1:6
- because many leading astray did enter into the world, who are not confessing Jesus Christ coming in flesh; this one is he who is leading astray, and the antichrist. 2 Jn. 1:7
- See to yourselves that ye may not lose the things that we wrought, but a full reward may receive; 2 Jn. 1:8
- every one who is transgressing, and is not remaining in the teaching of the Christ, hath not God; he who is remaining in the teaching of the Christ, this one hath both the Father and the Son; 2 Jn. 1:9
- if any one doth come unto you, and this teaching doth not bear, receive him not into the house, and say not to him, `Hail!' 2 Jn. 1:10
- salute thee do the children of thy choice sister. Amen. 2 Jn. 1:13
- The Elder to Gaius the beloved, whom I love in truth! 3 Jn. 1:1
- for I rejoiced exceedingly, brethren coming and testifying of the truth in thee, even as thou in truth dost walk; 3 Jn. 1:3
- Beloved, faithfully dost thou do whatever thou mayest work to the brethren and to the strangers, 3 Jn. 1:5
- because for His name they went forth, nothing receiving from the nations; 3 Jn. 1:7
- we, then, ought to receive such, that fellow-workers we may become to the truth. 3 Jn. 1:8
- I did write to the assembly, but he who is loving the first place among them -- Diotrephes -- doth not receive us; 3 Jn. 1:9
- because of this, if I may come, I will cause him to remember his works that he doth, with evil words prating against us; and not content with these, neither doth he himself receive the brethren, and those intending he doth forbid, and out of the assembly he doth cast. 3 Jn. 1:10
- to Demetrius testimony hath been given by all, and by the truth itself, and we also -- we do testify, and ye have known that our testimony is true. 3 Jn. 1:12
- and I hope straightway to see thee, and mouth to mouth we shall speak. Peace to thee! salute thee do the friends; be saluting the friends by name. 3 Jn. 1:14
- Judas, of Jesus Christ a servant, and brother of James, to those sanctified in God the Father, and in Jesus Christ kept -- called, Jude 1:1
- Beloved, all diligence using to write to you concerning the common salvation, I had necessity to write to you, exhorting to agonize for the faith once delivered to the saints, Jude 1:3
- for there did come in unobserved certain men, long ago having been written beforehand to this judgment, impious, the grace of our God perverting to lasciviousness, and our only Master, God, and Lord -- Jesus Christ -- denying, Jude 1:4
- and to remind you I intend, you knowing once this, that the Lord, a people out of the land of Egypt having saved, again those who did not believe did destroy; Jude 1:5
- as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities around them, in like manner to these, having given themselves to whoredom, and gone after other flesh, have been set before -- an example, of fire age-during, justice suffering. Jude 1:7
- In like manner, nevertheless, those dreaming also the flesh indeed do defile, and lordship they put away, and dignities they speak evil of, Jude 1:8
- yet Michael, the chief messenger, when, with the devil contending, he was disputing about the body of Moses, did not dare to bring up an evil-speaking judgment, but said, `The Lord rebuke thee!' Jude 1:9
- and these, as many things indeed as they have not known, they speak evil of; and as many things as naturally (as the irrational beasts) they understand, in these they are corrupted; Jude 1:10
- wo to them! because in the way of Cain they did go on, and to the deceit of Balaam for reward they did rush, and in the gainsaying of Korah they did perish. Jude 1:11
- wild waves of a sea, foaming out their own shames; stars going astray, to whom the gloom of the darkness to the age hath been kept. Jude 1:13
- And prophesy also to these did the seventh from Adam -- Enoch -- saying, `Lo, the Lord did come in His saintly myriads, Jude 1:14
- to do judgment against all, and to convict all their impious ones, concerning all their works of impiety that they did impiously, and concerning all the stiff things that speak against Him did impious sinners.' Jude 1:15
- These are murmurers, repiners; according to their desires walking, and their mouth doth speak great swellings, giving admiration to persons for the sake of profit; Jude 1:16
- and ye, beloved, remember ye the sayings spoken before by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ: Jude 1:17
- that they said to you, that in the last time there shall be scoffers, after their own desires of impieties going on, Jude 1:18
- these are those setting themselves apart, natural men, the Spirit not having. Jude 1:19
- And ye, beloved, on your most holy faith building yourselves up, in the Holy Spirit praying, Jude 1:20
- yourselves in the love of God keep ye, waiting for the kindness of our Lord Jesus Christ -- to life age-during; Jude 1:21
- and some in fear save ye, out of the fire snatching, hating even the coat from the flesh spotted. Jude 1:23
- And to Him who is able to guard you not stumbling, and to set you in the presence of His glory unblemished, in gladness, Jude 1:24
- to the only wise God our Saviour, is glory and greatness, power and authority, both now and to all the ages! Amen. Jude 1:25
- who did testify the word of God, and the testimony of Jesus Christ, as many things also as he did see. Rev. 1:2
- Happy is he who is reading, and those hearing, the words of the prophecy, and keeping the things written in it -- for the time is nigh! Rev. 1:3
- John to the seven assemblies that are in Asia: Grace to you, and peace, from Him who is, and who was, and who is coming, and from the Seven Spirits that are before His throne, Rev. 1:4
- and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the first-born out of the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth; to him who did love us, and did bathe us from our sins in his blood, Rev. 1:5
- and did make us kings and priests to his God and Father, to him is the glory and the power to the ages of the ages! Amen. Rev. 1:6
- Lo, he doth come with the clouds, and see him shall every eye, even those who did pierce him, and wail because of him shall all the tribes of the land. Yes! Amen! Rev. 1:7
- `I am the Alpha and the Omega, beginning and end, saith the Lord, who is, and who was, and who is coming -- the Almighty.' Rev. 1:8
- I, John, who also am your brother, and fellow-partner in the tribulation, and in the reign and endurance, of Jesus Christ, was in the isle that is called Patmos, because of the word of God, and because of the testimony of Jesus Christ; Rev. 1:9
- I was in the Spirit on the Lord's-day, and I heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet, saying, Rev. 1:10
- `I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last;' and, `What thou dost see, write in a scroll, and send to the seven assemblies that are in Asia; to Ephesus, and to Smyrna, and to Pergamos, and to Thyatira, and to Sardis, and to Philadelphia, and to Laodicea.' Rev. 1:11
- And I did turn to see the voice that did speak with me, and having turned, I saw seven golden lamp-stands, Rev. 1:12
- and in the midst of the seven lamp-stands, one like to a son of man, clothed to the foot, and girt round at the breast with a golden girdle, Rev. 1:13
- and having in his right hand seven stars, and out of his mouth a sharp two-edged sword is proceeding, and his countenance is as the sun shining in its might. Rev. 1:16
- And when I saw him, I did fall at his feet as dead, and he placed his right hand upon me, saying to me, `Be not afraid; I am the First and the Last, Rev. 1:17
- and he who is living, and I did become dead, and, lo, I am living to the ages of the ages. Amen! and I have the keys of the hades and of the death. Rev. 1:18
- `Write the things that thou hast seen, and the things that are, and the things that are about to come after these things; Rev. 1:19
- the secret of the seven stars that thou hast seen upon my right hand, and the seven golden lamp-stands: the seven stars are messengers of the seven assemblies, and the seven lamp-stands that thou hast seen are seven assemblies. Rev. 1:20
- `To the messenger of the Ephesian assembly write: These things saith he who is holding the seven stars in his right hand, who is walking in the midst of the seven lamp-stands -- the golden: Rev. 2:1
- remember, then, whence thou hast fallen, and reform, and the first works do; and if not, I come to thee quickly, and will remove thy lamp-stand from its place -- if thou mayest not reform; Rev. 2:5
- but this thou hast, that thou dost hate the works of the Nicolaitans, that I also hate. Rev. 2:6
- He who is having an ear -- let him hear what the Spirit saith to the assemblies: To him who is overcoming -- I will give to him to eat of the tree of life that is in the midst of the paradise of God. Rev. 2:7
- `And to the messenger of the assembly of the Smyrneans write: These things saith the First and the Last, who did become dead and did live; Rev. 2:8
- I have known thy works, and tribulation, and poverty -- yet thou art rich -- and the evil-speaking of those saying themselves to be Jews, and are not, but are a synagogue of the Adversary. Rev. 2:9
- `Be not afraid of the things that thou art about to suffer; lo, the devil is about to cast of you to prison, that ye may be tried, and ye shall have tribulation ten days; become thou faithful unto death, and I will give to thee the crown of the life. Rev. 2:10
- He who is having an ear -- let him hear what the Spirit saith to the assemblies: He who is overcoming may not be injured of the second death. Rev. 2:11

- `But I have against thee a few things: That thou hast there those holding the teaching of Balaam, who did teach Balak to cast a stumbling-block before the sons of Israel, to eat idol-sacrifices, and to commit whoredom; Rev. 2:14
- so hast thou, even thou, those holding the teaching of the Nicolaitans -- which thing I hate. Rev. 2:15
- `Reform! and if not, I come to thee quickly, and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth. Rev. 2:16
- He who is having an ear -- let him hear what the Spirit saith to the assemblies: To him who is overcoming, I will give to him to eat from the hidden manna, and will give to him a white stone, and upon the stone a new name written, that no one knew except him who is receiving it. Rev. 2:17
- `And to the messenger of the assembly of Thyatira write: These things saith the Son of God, who is having his eyes as a flame of fire, and his feet like to fine brass; Rev. 2:18

- `But I have against thee a few things: That thou dost suffer the woman Jezebel, who is calling herself a prophetess, to teach, and to lead astray, my servants to commit whoredom, and idol-sacrifices to eat; Rev. 2:20
- and her children I will kill in death, and know shall all the assemblies that I am he who is searching reins and hearts; and I will give to you -- to each -- according to your works. Rev. 2:23
- `And to you I say, and to the rest who are in Thyatira, as many as have not this teaching, and who did not know the depths of the Adversary, as they say; I will not put upon you other burden; Rev. 2:24
- and he who is overcoming, and who is keeping unto the end my works, I will give to him authority over the nations, Rev. 2:26

- I counsel thee to buy from me gold fired by fire, that thou mayest be rich, and white garments that thou mayest be arrayed, and the shame of thy nakedness may not be manifest, and with eye-salve anoint thine eyes, that thou mayest see. Rev. 3:18
- lo, I have stood at the door, and I knock; if any one may hear my voice, and may open the door, I will come in unto him, and will sup with him, and he with me. Rev. 3:20
- He who is having an ear -- let him hear what the Spirit saith to the assemblies.' Rev. 3:22
- After these things I saw, and lo, a door opened in the heaven, and the first voice that I heard is as of a trumpet speaking with me, saying, `Come up hither, and I will shew thee what it behoveth to come to pass after these things;' Rev. 4:1
- and immediately I was in the Spirit, and lo, a throne was set in the heaven, and upon the throne is one sitting, Rev. 4:2
- and He who is sitting was in sight like a stone, jasper and sardine: and a rainbow was round the throne in sight like an emerald. Rev. 4:3
- And around the throne are thrones twenty and four, and upon the thrones I saw the twenty and four elders sitting, clothed in white garments, and they had upon their heads crowns of gold; Rev. 4:4
- and out of the throne proceed do lightnings, and thunders, and voices; and seven lamps of fire are burning before the throne, which are the Seven Spirits of God, Rev. 4:5
- and before the throne is a sea of glass like to crystal, and in the midst of the throne, and round the throne, are four living creatures, full of eyes before and behind; Rev. 4:6
- and the first living creature is like a lion, and the second living creature is like a calf, and the third living creature hath the face as a man, and the fourth living creature is like an eagle flying. Rev. 4:7
- And the four living creatures, each by itself severally, had six wings, around and within are full of eyes, and rest they have not day and night, saying, `Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, who was, and who is, and who is coming;' Rev. 4:8
- and when the living creatures do give glory, and honour, and thanks, to Him who is sitting upon the throne, who is living to the ages of the ages, Rev. 4:9
- fall down do the twenty and four elders before Him who is sitting upon the throne, and bow before Him who is living to the ages of the ages, and they cast their crowns before the throne, saying, Rev. 4:10
- `Worthy art Thou, O Lord, to receive the glory, and the honour, and the power, because Thou -- Thou didst create the all things, and because of Thy will are they, and they were created.' Rev. 4:11
- And I saw upon the right hand of Him who is sitting upon the throne a scroll, written within and on the back, sealed with seven seals; Rev. 5:1
- and I saw a strong messenger crying with a great voice, `Who is worthy to open the scroll and to loose the seals of it?' Rev. 5:2
- and no one was able in the heaven, nor upon the earth, nor under the earth, to open the scroll, nor to behold it. Rev. 5:3
- And I was weeping much, because no one was found worthy to open and to read the scroll, nor to behold it, Rev. 5:4
- and one of the elders saith to me, `Weep not; lo, overcome did the Lion, who is of the tribe of Judah, the root of David, to open the scroll, and to loose the seven seals of it; Rev. 5:5
- and I saw, and lo, in the midst of the throne, and of the four living creatures, and in the midst of the elders, a Lamb hath stood as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the Seven Spirits of God, which are sent to all the earth, Rev. 5:6
- and he came and took the scroll out of the right hand of Him who is sitting upon the throne. Rev. 5:7
- And when he took the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell before the Lamb, having each one harps and golden vials full of perfumes, which are the prayers of the saints, Rev. 5:8
- and they sing a new song, saying, `Worthy art thou to take the scroll, and to open the seals of it, because thou wast slain, and didst redeem us to God in thy blood, out of every tribe, and tongue, and people, and nation, Rev. 5:9
- and didst make us to our God kings and priests, and we shall reign upon the earth.' Rev. 5:10
- And I saw, and I heard the voice of many messengers round the throne, and the living creatures, and the elders -- and the number of them was myriads of myriads, and thousands of thousands -- Rev. 5:11
- saying with a great voice, `Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive the power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing!' Rev. 5:12
- and every creature that is in the heaven, and in the earth, and under the earth, and the things that are upon the sea, and the all things in them, heard I saying, `To Him who is sitting upon the throne, and to the Lamb, is the blessing, and the honour, and the glory, and the might -- to the ages of the ages!' Rev. 5:13
- and the four living creatures said, `Amen!' and the twenty-four elders fell down and they bow before Him who is living to the ages of the ages. Rev. 5:14
- And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard one of the four living creatures saying, as it were a voice of thunder, `Come and behold!' Rev. 6:1
- And when he opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature saying, `Come and behold!' Rev. 6:3
- and there went forth another horse -- red, and to him who is sitting upon it, there was given to him to take the peace from the land, and that one another they may slay, and there was given to him a great sword. Rev. 6:4
- And when he opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature saying, `Come and behold!' and I saw, and lo, a black horse, and he who is sitting upon it is having a balance in his hand, Rev. 6:5
- and I heard a voice in the midst of the four living creatures saying, `A measure of wheat for a denary, and three measures of barley for a denary,' and `The oil and the wine thou mayest not injure.' Rev. 6:6
- And when he opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature saying, `Come and behold!' Rev. 6:7
- and I saw, and lo, a pale horse, and he who is sitting upon him -- his name is Death, and Hades doth follow with him, and there was given to them authority to kill, (over the fourth part of the land,) with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and by the beasts of the land. Rev. 6:8
- And when he opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those slain because of the word of God, and because of the testimony that they held, Rev. 6:9
- and they were crying with a great voice, saying, `Till when, O Master, the Holy and the True, dost Thou not judge and take vengeance of our blood from those dwelling upon the land?' Rev. 6:10
- And I saw when he opened the sixth seal, and lo, a great earthquake came, and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood, Rev. 6:12
- and the stars of the heaven fell to the earth -- as a fig-tree doth cast her winter figs, by a great wind being shaken -- Rev. 6:13
- and the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich, and the chiefs of thousands, and the mighty, and every servant, and every freeman, hid themselves in the dens, and in the rocks of the mountains, Rev. 6:15
- and they say to the mountains and to the rocks, `Fall upon us, and hide us from the face of Him who is sitting upon the throne, and from the anger of the Lamb,' Rev. 6:16
- because come did the great day of His anger, and who is able to stand? Rev. 6:17
- And after these things I saw four messengers, standing upon the four corners of the land, holding the four winds of the land, that the wind may not blow upon the land, nor upon the sea, nor upon any tree; Rev. 7:1
- and I saw another messenger going up from the rising of the sun, having a seal of the living God, and he did cry with a great voice to the four messengers, to whom it was given to injure the land and the sea, saying, Rev. 7:2
- `Do not injure the land, nor the sea, nor the trees, till we may seal the servants of our God upon their foreheads.' Rev. 7:3
- And I heard the number of those sealed, (144 thousands were sealed out of all the tribes of the sons of Israel): Rev. 7:4
- of the tribe of Judah 12 thousand were sealed; of the tribe of Reuben 12 thousand were sealed; of the tribe of Gad 12 thousand were sealed; Rev. 7:5
- of the tribe of Asher 12 thousand were sealed; of the tribe of Naphtali 12 thousand were sealed; of the tribe of Manasseh 12 thousand were sealed; Rev. 7:6

- of the tribe of Zebulun 12 thousand were sealed; of the tribe of Joseph 12 thousand were sealed; of the tribe of Benjamin 12 thousand were sealed. Rev. 7:8
- After these things I saw, and lo, a great multitude, which to number no one was able, out of all nations, and tribes, and peoples, and tongues, standing before the throne, and before the Lamb, arrayed in white robes, and palms in their hands, Rev. 7:9
- and crying with a great voice, saying, `The salvation is to Him who is sitting upon the throne -- to our God, and to the Lamb!' Rev. 7:10
- And all the messengers stood around the throne, and the elders and the four living creatures, and they fell upon their face, and bowed before God, Rev. 7:11
- saying, `Amen! the blessing, and the glory, and the wisdom, and the thanksgiving, and the honour, and the power, and the strength, are to our God -- to the ages of the ages! Amen!' Rev. 7:12
- And answer did one of the elders, saying to me, `These, who have been arrayed with the white robes -- who are they, and whence came they?' Rev. 7:13
- and I have said to him, `Sir, thou hast known;' and he said to me, `These are those who are coming out of the great tribulation, and they did wash their robes, and they made their robes white in the blood of the Lamb; Rev. 7:14
- because of this are they before the throne of God, and they do service to Him day and night in His sanctuary, and He who is sitting upon the throne shall tabernacle over them; Rev. 7:15
- they shall not hunger any more, nor may the sun fall upon them, nor any heat, Rev. 7:16
- because the Lamb that is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters, and wipe away shall God every tear from their eyes.' Rev. 7:17
- And when he openeth the seventh seal, there came silence in the heaven about half-an-hour, Rev. 8:1
- and I saw the seven messengers who before God have stood, and there were given to them seven trumpets, Rev. 8:2
- and another messenger did come, and he stood at the altar, having a golden censer, and there was given to him much perfume, that he may give it to the prayers of all the saints upon the golden altar that is before the throne, Rev. 8:3
- and go up did the smoke of the perfumes to the prayers of the saints out of the hand of the messenger, before God; Rev. 8:4
- and the messenger took the censer, and did fill it out of the fire of the altar, and did cast it to the earth, and there came voices, and thunders, and lightnings, and an earthquake. Rev. 8:5
- And the seven messengers who are having the seven trumpets did prepare themselves that they may sound; Rev. 8:6
- and the first messenger did sound, and there came hail and fire, mingled with blood, and it was cast to the land, and the third of the trees was burnt up, and all the green grass was burnt up. Rev. 8:7
- And the second messenger did sound, and as it were a great mountain with fire burning was cast into the sea, and the third of the sea became blood, Rev. 8:8
- and die did the third of the creatures that are in the sea, those having life, and the third of the ships were destroyed. Rev. 8:9
- And the third messenger did sound, and there fell out of the heaven a great star, burning as a lamp, and it did fall upon the third of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters, Rev. 8:10
- and the name of the star is called Wormwood, and the third of the waters doth become wormwood, and many of the men did die of the waters, because they were made bitter. Rev. 8:11
- And the fourth messenger did sound, and smitten was the third of the sun, and the third of the moon, and the third of the stars, that darkened may be the third of them, and that the day may not shine -- the third of it, and the night in like manner. Rev. 8:12
- And I saw, and I heard one messenger, flying in the mid-heaven, saying with a great voice, `Wo, wo, wo, to those dwelling upon the land from the rest of the voices of the trumpet of the three messengers who are about to sound.' Rev. 8:13
- And the fifth messenger did sound, and I saw a star out of the heaven having fallen to the earth, and there was given to it the key of the pit of the abyss, Rev. 9:1
- and he did open the pit of the abyss, and there came up a smoke out of the pit as smoke of a great furnace, and darkened was the sun and the air, from the smoke of the pit. Rev. 9:2
- And out of the smoke came forth locusts to the earth, and there was given to them authority, as scorpions of the earth have authority, Rev. 9:3
- and it was said to them that they may not injure the grass of the earth, nor any green thing, nor any tree, but -- the men only who have not the seal of God upon their foreheads, Rev. 9:4
- and it was given to them that they may not kill them, but that they may be tormented five months, and their torment is as the torment of a scorpion, when it may strike a man; Rev. 9:5
- and in those days shall men seek the death, and they shall not find it, and they shall desire to die, and the death shall flee from them. Rev. 9:6
- And the likenesses of the locusts are like to horses made ready to battle, and upon their heads as crowns like gold, and their faces as faces of men, Rev. 9:7
- and they had breastplates as breastplates of iron, and the noise of their wings is as the noise of chariots of many horses running to battle; Rev. 9:9
- and they have over them a king -- the messenger of the abyss -- a name is to him in Hebrew, Abaddon, and in the Greek he hath a name, Apollyon. Rev. 9:11
- The first wo did go forth, lo, there come yet two woes after these things. Rev. 9:12
- And the sixth messenger did sound, and I heard a voice out of the four horns of the altar of gold that is before God, Rev. 9:13
- saying to the sixth messenger who had the trumpet, `Loose the four messengers who are bound at the great river Euphrates;' Rev. 9:14
- and loosed were the four messengers, who have been made ready for the hour, and day, and month, and year, that they may kill the third of men; Rev. 9:15
- and the number of the forces of the horsemen is two myriads of myriads, and I heard the number of them. Rev. 9:16
- And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and those sitting upon them, having breastplates of fire, and jacinth, and brimstone; and the heads of the horses are as heads of lions, and out of their mouths proceedeth fire, and smoke, and brimstone; Rev. 9:17
- by these three were the third of men killed, from the fire, and from the smoke, and from the brimstone, that is proceeding out of their mouth, Rev. 9:18
- and the rest of men, who were not killed in these plagues, neither did reform from the works of their hands, that they may not bow before the demons, and idols, those of gold, and those of silver, and those of brass, and those of stone, and those of wood, that are neither able to see, nor to hear, nor to walk, Rev. 9:20
- And I saw another strong messenger coming down out of the heaven, arrayed with a cloud, and a rainbow upon the head, and his face as the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire, Rev. 10:1
- and he had in his hand a little scroll opened, and he did place his right foot upon the sea, and the left upon the land, Rev. 10:2
- and he cried with a great voice, as a lion doth roar, and when he cried, speak out did the seven thunders their voices; Rev. 10:3
- and when the seven thunders spake their voices, I was about to write, and I heard a voice out of the heaven saying to me, `Seal the things that the seven thunders spake,' and, `Thou mayest not write these things.' Rev. 10:4
- And the messenger whom I saw standing upon the sea, and upon the land, did lift up his hand to the heaven, Rev. 10:5
- and did swear in Him who doth live to the ages of the ages, who did create the heaven and the things in it, and the land and the things in it, and the sea and the things in it -- that time shall not be yet, Rev. 10:6
- but in the days of the voice of the seventh messenger, when he may be about to sound, and the secret of God may be finished, as He did declare to His own servants, to the prophets. Rev. 10:7
- And the voice that I heard out of the heaven is again speaking with me, and saying, `Go, take the little scroll that is open in the hand of the messenger who hath been standing upon the sea, and upon the land:' Rev. 10:8
- and I went away unto the messenger, saying to him, `Give me the little scroll;' and he saith to me, `Take, and eat it up, and it shall make thy belly bitter, but in thy mouth it shall be sweet -- as honey.' Rev. 10:9
- And I took the little scroll out of the hand of the messenger, and did eat it up, and it was in my mouth as honey -- sweet, and when I did eat it -- my belly was made bitter; Rev. 10:10
- And there was given to me a reed like to a rod, and the messenger stood, saying, `Rise, and measure the sanctuary of God, and the altar, and those worshipping in it; Rev. 11:1
- and the court that is without the sanctuary leave out, and thou mayest not measure it, because it was given to the nations, and the holy city they shall tread down forty-two months; Rev. 11:2
- these are the two olive trees, and the two lamp-stands that before the God of the earth do stand; Rev. 11:4
- These have authority to shut the heaven, that it may not rain rain in the days of their prophecy, and authority they have over the waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the land with every plague, as often as they may will. Rev. 11:6
- `And when they may finish their testimony, the beast that is coming up out of the abyss shall make war with them, and overcome them, and kill them, Rev. 11:7
- and their dead bodies are upon the broad-place of the great city (that is called spiritually Sodom, and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified,) Rev. 11:8
- and they shall behold -- they of the peoples, and tribes, and tongues, and nations -- their dead bodies three days and a half, and their dead bodies they shall not suffer to be put into tombs, Rev. 11:9
- and those dwelling upon the land shall rejoice over them, and shall make merry, and gifts they shall send to one another, because these -- the two prophets -- did torment those dwelling upon the land.' Rev. 11:10
- And after the three days and a half, a spirit of life from God did enter into them, and they stood upon their feet, and great fear fell upon those beholding them, Rev. 11:11
- and they heard a great voice out of the heaven saying to them, `Come up hither;' and they went up to the heaven in the cloud, and their enemies beheld them; Rev. 11:12
- and in that hour came a great earthquake, and the tenth of the city did fall, and killed in the earthquake were names of men -- seven thousands, and the rest became affrighted, and they gave glory to the God of the heaven. Rev. 11:13
- The second wo did go forth, lo, the third wo doth come quickly. Rev. 11:14
- And the seventh messenger did sound, and there came great voices in the heaven, saying, `The kingdoms of the world did become those of our Lord and of His Christ, and he shall reign to the ages of the ages!' Rev. 11:15
- and the twenty and four elders, who before God are sitting upon their thrones, did fall upon their faces, and did bow before God, Rev. 11:16
- saying, `We give thanks to Thee, O Lord God, the Almighty, who art, and who wast, and who art coming, because Thou hast taken Thy great power and didst reign; Rev. 11:17
- and the nations were angry, and Thine anger did come, and the time of the dead, to be judged, and to give the reward to Thy servants, to the prophets, and to the saints, and to those fearing Thy name, to the small and to the great, and to destroy those who are destroying the land.' Rev. 11:18
- And opened was the sanctuary of God in the heaven, and there was seen the ark of His covenant in His sanctuary, and there did come lightnings, and voices, and thunders, and an earthquake, and great hail. Rev. 11:19
- And a great sign was seen in the heaven, a woman arrayed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars, Rev. 12:1
- And there was seen another sign in the heaven, and, lo, a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his head seven diadems, Rev. 12:3
- and his tail doth draw the third of the stars of the heaven, and he did cast them to the earth; and the dragon did stand before the woman who is about to bring forth, that when she may bring forth, her child he may devour; Rev. 12:4
- and she brought forth a male child, who is about to rule all the nations with a rod of iron, and caught away was her child unto God and His throne, Rev. 12:5
- and the woman did flee to the wilderness, where she hath a place made ready from God, that there they may nourish her -- days a thousand, two hundred, sixty. Rev. 12:6
- And there came war in the heaven; Michael and his messengers did war against the dragon, and the dragon did war, and his messengers, Rev. 12:7
- and they did not prevail, nor was their place found any more in the heaven; Rev. 12:8
- and the great dragon was cast forth -- the old serpent, who is called `Devil,' and `the Adversary,' who is leading astray the whole world -- he was cast forth to the earth, and his messengers were cast forth with him. Rev. 12:9
- And I heard a great voice saying in the heaven, `Now did come the salvation, and the power, and the reign, of our God, and the authority of His Christ, because cast down was the accuser of our brethren, who is accusing them before our God day and night; Rev. 12:10
- and they did overcome him because of the blood of the Lamb, and because of the word of their testimony, and they did not love their life -- unto death; Rev. 12:11
- because of this be glad, ye heavens, and those in them who do tabernacle; wo to those inhabiting the land and the sea, because the Devil did go down unto you, having great wrath, having known that he hath little time.' Rev. 12:12
- And when the dragon saw that he was cast forth to the earth, he pursued the woman who did bring forth the male, Rev. 12:13
- and there were given to the woman two wings of the great eagle, that she may fly to the wilderness, to her place, where she is nourished a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent; Rev. 12:14
- and the serpent did cast forth after the woman, out of his mouth, water as a river, that he may cause her to be carried away by the river, Rev. 12:15
- and the land did help the woman, and the land did open its mouth and did swallow up the river, that the dragon did cast forth out of his mouth; Rev. 12:16
- and the dragon was angry against the woman, and went away to make war with the rest of her seed, those keeping the commands of God, and having the testimony of Jesus Christ. Rev. 12:17
- And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and I saw out of the sea a beast coming up, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon its horns ten diadems, and upon its heads a name of evil speaking, Rev. 13:1
- and the beast that I saw was like to a leopard, and its feet as of a bear, and its mouth as the mouth of a lion, and the dragon did give to it his power, and his throne, and great authority. Rev. 13:2
- And I saw one of its heads as slain to death, and its deadly stroke was healed, and all the earth did wonder after the beast, Rev. 13:3
- and they did bow before the dragon who did give authority to the beast, and they did bow before the beast, saying, `Who is like to the beast? who is able to war with it?' Rev. 13:4
- and it did open its mouth for evil-speaking toward God, to speak evil of His name, and of His tabernacle, and of those who in the heaven tabernacle, Rev. 13:6
- and there was given to it to make war with the saints, and to overcome them, and there was given to it authority over every tribe, and tongue, and nation. Rev. 13:7
- And bow before it shall all who are dwelling upon the land, whose names have not been written in the scroll of the life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world; Rev. 13:8
- if any one a captivity doth gather, into captivity he doth go away; if any one by sword doth kill, it behoveth him by sword to be killed; here is the endurance and the faith of the saints. Rev. 13:10
- And I saw another beast coming up out of the land, and it had two horns, like a lamb, and it was speaking as a dragon, Rev. 13:11
- and all the authority of the first beast doth it do before it, and it maketh the land and those dwelling in it that they shall bow before the first beast, whose deadly stroke was healed, Rev. 13:12
- and it doth great signs, that fire also it may make to come down from the heaven to the earth before men, Rev. 13:13
- and it leadeth astray those dwelling on the land, because of the signs that were given it to do before the beast, saying to those dwelling upon the land to make an image to the beast that hath the stroke of the sword and did live, Rev. 13:14
- and there was given to it to give a spirit to the image of the beast, that also the image of the beast may speak, and that it may cause as many as shall not bow before the image of the beast, that they may be killed. Rev. 13:15
- And it maketh all, the small, and the great, and the rich, and the poor, and the freemen, and the servants, that it may give to them a mark upon their right hand or upon their foreheads, Rev. 13:16
- and that no one may be able to buy, or to sell, except he who is having the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Rev. 13:17
- Here is the wisdom! He who is having the understanding, let him count the number of the beast, for the number of a man it is, and its number is 666. Rev. 13:18
- And I saw, and lo, a Lamb having stood upon the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty-four thousands, having the name of his Father written upon their foreheads; Rev. 14:1
- and I heard a voice out of the heaven, as a voice of many waters, and as a voice of great thunder, and a voice I heard of harpers harping with their harps, Rev. 14:2
- and they sing, as it were, a new song before the throne, and before the four living creatures, and the elders, and no one was able to learn the song except the hundred forty-four thousands, who have been bought from the earth; Rev. 14:3
- these are they who with women were not defiled, for they are virgin; these are they who are following the Lamb whithersoever he may go; these were bought from among men -- a first-fruit to God and to the Lamb -- Rev. 14:4
- and in their mouth there was not found guile, for unblemished are they before the throne of God. Rev. 14:5
- And I saw another messenger flying in mid-heaven, having good news age-during to proclaim to those dwelling upon the earth, and to every nation, and tribe, and tongue, and people, Rev. 14:6
- saying in a great voice, `Fear ye God, and give to Him glory, because come did the hour of His judgment, and bow ye before Him who did make the heaven, and the land, and sea, and fountains of waters.' Rev. 14:7
- And another messenger did follow, saying, `Fall, fall, did Babylon, the great city, because of the wine of the wrath of her whoredom she hath given to all nations to drink.' Rev. 14:8
- And a third messenger did follow them, saying in a great voice, `If any one the beast doth bow before, and his image, and doth receive a mark upon his forehead, or upon his hand, Rev. 14:9
- he also shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, that hath been mingled unmixed in the cup of His anger, and he shall be tormented in fire and brimstone before the holy messengers, and before the Lamb, Rev. 14:10
- and the smoke of their torment doth go up to ages of ages; and they have no rest day and night, who are bowing before the beast and his image, also if any doth receive the mark of his name. Rev. 14:11
- Here is endurance of the saints: here are those keeping the commands of God, and the faith of Jesus.' Rev. 14:12
- And I heard a voice out of the heaven saying to me, `Write: Happy are the dead who in the Lord are dying from this time!' `Yes, (saith the Spirit,) That they may rest from their labours -- and their works do follow them!' Rev. 14:13
- And I saw, and lo, a white cloud, and upon the cloud one sitting like to a son of man, having upon his head a golden crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle; Rev. 14:14
- and another messenger did come forth out of the sanctuary crying in a great voice to him who is sitting upon the cloud, `Send forth thy sickle and reap, because come to thee hath the hour of reaping, because ripe hath been the harvest of the earth;' Rev. 14:15
- and he who is sitting upon the cloud did put forth his sickle upon the earth, and the earth was reaped. Rev. 14:16
- And another messenger did come forth out of the sanctuary that is in the heaven, having -- he also -- a sharp sickle, Rev. 14:17
- and another messenger did come forth out from the altar, having authority over the fire, and he called with a great cry to him having the sharp sickle, saying, `Send forth thy sharp sickle, and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth, because come to perfection have her grapes;' Rev. 14:18
- and the messenger did put forth his sickle to the earth, and did gather the vine of the earth, and did cast it to the great wine-press of the wrath of God; Rev. 14:19
- and trodden was the wine-press outside of the city, and blood did come forth out of the wine-press -- unto the bridles of the horses, a thousand, six hundred furlongs. Rev. 14:20
- And I saw another sign in the heaven, great and wonderful, seven messengers having the seven last plagues, because in these was completed the wrath of God, Rev. 15:1
- and I saw as a sea of glass mingled with fire, and those who do gain the victory over the beast, and his image, and his mark, and the number of his name, standing by the sea of the glass, having harps of God, Rev. 15:2
- and they sing the song of Moses, servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, `Great and wonderful are Thy works, O Lord God, the Almighty, righteous and true are Thy ways, O King of saints, Rev. 15:3
- who may not fear Thee, O Lord, and glorify Thy name? because Thou alone art kind, because all the nations shall come and bow before Thee, because Thy righteous acts were manifested.' Rev. 15:4
- And after these things I saw, and lo, opened was the sanctuary of the tabernacle of the testimony in the heaven; Rev. 15:5
- and come forth did the seven messengers having the seven plagues, out of the sanctuary, clothed in linen, pure and shining, and girded round the breasts with golden girdles: Rev. 15:6
- and one of the four living creatures did give to the seven messengers seven golden vials, full of the wrath of God, who is living to the ages of the ages; Rev. 15:7
- and filled was the sanctuary with smoke from the glory of God, and from His power, and no one was able to enter into the sanctuary till the seven plagues of the seven messengers may be finished. Rev. 15:8
- And I heard a great voice out of the sanctuary saying to the seven messengers, `Go away, and pour out the vials of the wrath of God to the earth;' Rev. 16:1
- and the first did go away, and did pour out his vial upon the land, and there came a sore -- bad and grievous -- to men, those having the mark of the beast, and those bowing to his image. Rev. 16:2
- And the second messenger did pour out his vial to the sea, and there came blood as of one dead, and every living soul died in the sea. Rev. 16:3
- And the third messenger did pour out his vial to the rivers, and to the fountains of the waters, and there came blood, Rev. 16:4
- and I heard the messenger of the waters, saying, `righteous, O Lord, art Thou, who art, and who wast, and who shalt be, because these things Thou didst judge, Rev. 16:5
- and I heard another out of the altar, saying, `Yes, Lord God, the Almighty, true and righteous are Thy judgments.' Rev. 16:7
- And the fourth messenger did pour out his vial upon the sun, and there was given to him to scorch men with fire, Rev. 16:8
- and men were scorched with great heat, and they did speak evil of the name of God, who hath authority over these plagues, and they did not reform -- to give to Him glory. Rev. 16:9
- And the fifth messenger did pour out his vial upon the throne of the beast, and his kingdom did become darkened, and they were gnawing their tongues from the pain, Rev. 16:10
- and they did speak evil of the God of the heaven, from their pains, and from their sores, and they did not reform from their works. Rev. 16:11
- And the sixth messenger did pour out his vial upon the great river, the Euphrates, and dried up was its water, that the way of the kings who are from the rising of the sun may be made ready; Rev. 16:12
- and I saw come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet, three unclean spirits like frogs -- Rev. 16:13
- for they are spirits of demons, doing signs -- which go forth unto the kings of the earth, and of the whole world, to bring them together to the battle of that great day of God the Almighty; -- Rev. 16:14
- and they did bring them together to the place that is called in Hebrew Armageddon. Rev. 16:16
- And the seventh messenger did pour out his vial to the air, and there came forth a great voice from the sanctuary of the heaven, from the throne, saying, `It hath come!' Rev. 16:17
- and there came voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and a great earthquake came, such as came not since men came upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake -- so great! Rev. 16:18
- And it came -- the great city -- into three parts, and the cities of the nations did fall, and Babylon the great was remembered before God, to give to her the cup of the wine of the wrath of His anger, Rev. 16:19
- and great hail (as of talent weight) doth come down out of the heaven upon men, and men did speak evil of God because of the plague of the hail, because its plague is very great. Rev. 16:21
- And there came one of the seven messengers, who were having the seven vials, and he spake with me, saying to me, `Come, I will shew to thee the judgment of the great whore, who is sitting upon the many waters, Rev. 17:1
- with whom the kings of the earth did commit whoredom; and made drunk from the wine of her whoredom were those inhabiting the earth;' Rev. 17:2
- and he carried me away to a wilderness in the Spirit, and I saw a woman sitting upon a scarlet-coloured beast, full of names of evil-speaking, having seven heads and ten horns, Rev. 17:3
- and the woman was arrayed with purple and scarlet-colour, and gilded with gold, and precious stone, and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and uncleanness of her whoredom, Rev. 17:4
- and upon her forehead was a name written: `Secret, Babylon the Great, the Mother of the Whores, and the Abominations of the earth.' Rev. 17:5
- And I saw the woman drunken from the blood of the saints, and from the blood of the witnesses of Jesus, and I did wonder -- having seen her -- with great wonder; Rev. 17:6
- and the messenger said to me, `Wherefore didst thou wonder? I -- I will tell thee the secret of the woman and of the beast that is carrying her, which hath the seven heads and the ten horns. Rev. 17:7
- `The beast that thou didst see: it was, and it is not; and it is about to come up out of the abyss, and to go away to destruction, and wonder shall those dwelling upon the earth, whose names have not been written upon the scroll of the life from the foundation of the world, beholding the beast that was, and is not, although it is. Rev. 17:8
- `Here is the mind that is having wisdom; the seven heads are seven mountains, upon which the woman doth sit, Rev. 17:9
- and there are seven kings, the five did fall, and the one is, the other did not yet come, and when he may come, it behoveth him to remain a little time; Rev. 17:10
- and the beast that was, and is not, he also is eighth, and out of the seven he is, and to destruction he doth go away. Rev. 17:11
- `And the ten horns that thou sawest, are ten kings, who a kingdom did not yet receive, but authority as kings the same hour do receive with the beast, Rev. 17:12
- these have one mind, and their own power and authority to the beast they shall give over; Rev. 17:13
- these with the Lamb shall make war, and the Lamb shall overcome them, because Lord of lords he is, and King of kings, and those with him are called, and choice, and stedfast.' Rev. 17:14
- And he saith to me, `The waters that thou didst see, where the whore doth sit, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues;' Rev. 17:15
- and the ten horns that thou didst see upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and shall burn her in fire, Rev. 17:16
- for God did give into their hearts to do its mind, and to make one mind, and to give their kingdom to the beast till the sayings of God may be complete, Rev. 17:17
- and the woman that thou didst see is the great city that is having reign over the kings of the land.' Rev. 17:18
- And after these things I saw another messenger coming down out of the heaven, having great authority, and the earth was lightened from his glory, Rev. 18:1
- and he did cry in might -- a great voice, saying, `Fall, fall did Babylon the great, and she became a habitation of demons, and a hold of every unclean spirit, and a hold of every unclean and hateful bird, Rev. 18:2
- because of the wine of the wrath of her whoredom have all the nations drunk, and the kings of the earth with her did commit whoredom, and merchants of the earth from the power of her revel were made rich. Rev. 18:3
- And I heard another voice out of the heaven, saying, `Come forth out of her, My people, that ye may not partake with her sins, and that ye may not receive of her plagues, Rev. 18:4
- because her sins did follow -- unto the heaven, and God did remember her unrighteousness. Rev. 18:5
- Render to her as also she did render to you, and double to her doubles according to her works; in the cup that she did mingle mingle to her double. Rev. 18:6
- because of this, in one day, shall come her plagues, death, and sorrow, and famine; and in fire she shall be utterly burned, because strong is the Lord God who is judging her; Rev. 18:8
- and weep over her, and smite themselves for her, shall the kings of the earth, who with her did commit whoredom and did revel, when they may see the smoke of her burning, Rev. 18:9
- from afar having stood because of the fear of her torment, saying, Wo, wo, the great city! Babylon, the strong city! because in one hour did come thy judgment. Rev. 18:10
- `And the merchants of the earth shall weep and sorrow over her, because their lading no one doth buy any more; Rev. 18:11
- `And the fruits of the desire of thy soul did go away from thee, and all things -- the dainty and the bright -- did go away from thee, and no more at all mayest thou find them. Rev. 18:14
- The merchants of these things, who were made rich by her, far off shall stand because of the fear of her torment, weeping, and sorrowing, Rev. 18:15
- and saying, Wo, wo, the great city, that was arrayed with fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and gilded in gold, and precious stone, and pearls -- Rev. 18:16
- because in one hour so much riches were made waste!`And every shipmaster, and all the company upon the ships, and sailors, and as many as work the sea, far off stood, Rev. 18:17
- and were crying, seeing the smoke of her burning, saying, What city is like to the great city? Rev. 18:18
- and they did cast dust upon their heads, and were crying out, weeping and sorrowing, saying, Wo, wo, the great city! in which were made rich all having ships in the sea, out of her costliness -- for in one hour was she made waste. Rev. 18:19
- And one strong messenger did take up a stone as a great millstone, and did cast it to the sea, saying, `Thus with violence shall Babylon be cast, the great city, and may not be found any more at all; Rev. 18:21
- and light of a lamp may not shine at all in thee any more; and voice of bridegroom and of bride may not be heard at all in thee any more; because thy merchants were the great ones of the earth, because in thy sorcery were all the nations led astray, Rev. 18:23
- and in her blood of prophets and of saints was found, and of all those who have been slain on the earth.' Rev. 18:24
- And after these things I heard a great voice of a great multitude in the heaven, saying, `Alleluia! the salvation, and the glory, and the honour, and the power, is to the Lord our God; Rev. 19:1
- because true and righteous are His judgments, because He did judge the great whore who did corrupt the earth in her whoredom, and He did avenge the blood of His servants at her hand;' Rev. 19:2
- and a second time they said, `Alleluia;' and her smoke doth come up -- to the ages of the ages! Rev. 19:3
- And fall down did the elders -- the twenty and four -- and the four living creatures, and they did bow before God who is sitting upon the throne, saying, `Amen, Alleluia.' Rev. 19:4
- And a voice out of the throne did come forth, saying, `Praise our God, all ye His servants, and those fearing Him, both the small and the great;' Rev. 19:5
- and I heard as the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, `Alleluia! because reign did the Lord God -- the Almighty! Rev. 19:6
- may we rejoice and exult, and give the glory to Him, because come did the marriage of the Lamb, and his wife did make herself ready; Rev. 19:7
- and there was given to her that she may be arrayed with fine linen, pure and shining, for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints.' Rev. 19:8
- And he saith to me, `Write: Happy are they who to the supper of the marriage of the Lamb have been called;' and he saith to me, `These are the true words of God;' Rev. 19:9
- and I fell before his feet, to bow before him, and he saith to me, `See -- not! fellow servant of thee am I, and of thy brethren, those having the testimony of Jesus; bow before God, for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of the prophecy.' Rev. 19:10
- And I saw the heaven having been opened, and lo, a white horse, and he who is sitting upon it is called Faithful and True, and in righteousness doth he judge and war, Rev. 19:11
- and he is arrayed with a garment covered with blood, and his name is called, The Word of God. Rev. 19:13
- And the armies in the heaven were following him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen -- white and pure; Rev. 19:14
- and out of his mouth doth proceed a sharp sword, that with it he may smite the nations, and he shall rule them with a rod of iron, and he doth tread the press of the wine of the wrath and the anger of God the Almighty, Rev. 19:15
- and he hath upon the garment and upon his thigh the name written, `King of kings, and Lord of lords.' Rev. 19:16
- And I saw one messenger standing in the sun, and he cried, a great voice, saying to all the birds that are flying in mid-heaven, `Come and be gathered together to the supper of the great God, Rev. 19:17
- that ye may eat flesh of kings, and flesh of chiefs of thousands, and flesh of strong men, and flesh of horses, and of those sitting on them, and the flesh of all -- freemen and servants -- both small and great.' Rev. 19:18
- And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, having been gathered together to make war with him who is sitting upon the horse, and with his army; Rev. 19:19
- and the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet who did the signs before him, in which he led astray those who did receive the mark of the beast, and those who did bow before his image; living they were cast -- the two -- to the lake of the fire, that is burning with brimstone; Rev. 19:20
- and the rest were killed with the sword of him who is sitting on the horse, which sword is proceeding out of his mouth, and all the birds were filled out of their flesh. Rev. 19:21
- And I saw a messenger coming down out of the heaven, having the key of the abyss, and a great chain over his hand, Rev. 20:1
- and he laid hold on the dragon, the old serpent, who is Devil and Adversary, and did bind him a thousand years, Rev. 20:2
- and he cast him to the abyss, and did shut him up, and put a seal upon him, that he may not lead astray the nations any more, till the thousand years may be finished; and after these it behoveth him to be loosed a little time. Rev. 20:3
- And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given to them, and the souls of those who have been beheaded because of the testimony of Jesus, and because of the word of God, and who did not bow before the beast, nor his image, and did not receive the mark upon their forehead and upon their hand, and they did live and reign with Christ the thousand years; Rev. 20:4
- and the rest of the dead did not live again till the thousand years may be finished; this is the first rising again. Rev. 20:5
- Happy and holy is he who is having part in the first rising again; over these the second death hath not authority, but they shall be priests of God and of the Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years. Rev. 20:6
- And when the thousand years may be finished, the Adversary shall be loosed out of his prison, Rev. 20:7
- and he shall go forth to lead the nations astray, that are in the four corners of the earth -- Gog and Magog -- to gather them together to war, of whom the number is as the sand of the sea; Rev. 20:8
- and they did go up over the breadth of the land, and did surround the camp of the saints, and the beloved city, and there came down fire from God out of the heaven, and devoured them; Rev. 20:9
- and the Devil, who is leading them astray, was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where are the beast and the false prophet, and they shall be tormented day and night -- to the ages of the ages. Rev. 20:10
- And I saw a great white throne, and Him who is sitting upon it, from whose face the earth and the heaven did flee away, and place was not found for them; Rev. 20:11
- and I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God, and scrolls were opened, and another scroll was opened, which is that of the life, and the dead were judged out of the things written in the scrolls -- according to their works; Rev. 20:12
- and the sea did give up those dead in it, and the death and the hades did give up the dead in them, and they were judged, each one according to their works; Rev. 20:13
- and the death and the hades were cast to the lake of the fire -- this is the second death; Rev. 20:14
- and if any one was not found written in the scroll of the life, he was cast to the lake of the fire. Rev. 20:15
- And I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth did pass away, and the sea is not any more; Rev. 21:1
- and I, John, saw the holy city -- new Jerusalem -- coming down from God out of the heaven, made ready as a bride adorned for her husband; Rev. 21:2
- and I heard a great voice out of the heaven, saying, `Lo, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will tabernacle with them, and they shall be His peoples, and God Himself shall be with them -- their God, Rev. 21:3
- and God shall wipe away every tear from their eyes, and the death shall not be any more, nor sorrow, nor crying, nor shall there be any more pain, because the first things did go away.' Rev. 21:4
- And He who is sitting upon the throne said, `Lo, new I make all things; and He saith to me, `Write, because these words are true and stedfast;' Rev. 21:5
- and He said to me, `It hath been done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End; I, to him who is thirsting, will give of the fountain of the water of the life freely; Rev. 21:6
- he who is overcoming shall inherit all things, and I will be to him -- a God, and he shall be to me -- the son, Rev. 21:7
- and to fearful, and unstedfast, and abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all the liars, their part is in the lake that is burning with fire and brimstone, which is a second death.' Rev. 21:8
- And there came unto me one of the seven messengers, who have the seven vials that are full of the seven last plagues, and he spake with me, saying, `Come, I will shew thee the bride of the Lamb -- the wife,' Rev. 21:9
- and he carried me away in the Spirit to a mountain great and high, and did shew to me the great city, the holy Jerusalem, coming down out of the heaven from God, Rev. 21:10
- having the glory of God, and her light is like a stone most precious, as a jasper stone clear as crystal, Rev. 21:11
- having also a wall great and high, having twelve gates, and at the gates twelve messengers, and names written thereon, which are those of the twelve tribes of the sons of Israel, Rev. 21:12
- at the east three gates, at the north three gates, at the south three gates, at the west three gates; Rev. 21:13
- and the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in them names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb. Rev. 21:14
- And he who is speaking with me had a golden reed, that he may measure the city, and its gates, and its wall; Rev. 21:15
- and the city lieth square, and the length of it is as great as the breadth; and he did measure the city with the reed -- furlongs twelve thousand; the length, and the breadth, and the height, of it are equal; Rev. 21:16
- and he measured its wall, an hundred forty-four cubits, the measure of a man, that is, of the messenger; Rev. 21:17
- and the building of its wall was jasper, and the city is pure gold -- like to pure glass; Rev. 21:18
- and the foundations of the wall of the city with every precious stone have been adorned; the first foundation jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, chalcedony; the fourth, emerald; Rev. 21:19
- the fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolite; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, topaz; the tenth, chrysoprasus; the eleventh, jacinth; the twelfth, amethyst. Rev. 21:20
- And the twelve gates are twelve pearls, each several one of the gates was of one pearl; and the broad-place of the city is pure gold -- as transparent glass. Rev. 21:21
- And a sanctuary I did not see in it, for the Lord God, the Almighty, is its sanctuary, and the Lamb, Rev. 21:22
- and the city hath no need of the sun, nor of the moon, that they may shine in it; for the glory of God did lighten it, and the lamp of it is the Lamb; Rev. 21:23
- and the nations of the saved in its light shall walk, and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honour into it, Rev. 21:24
- and they shall bring the glory and the honour of the nations into it; Rev. 21:26
- and there may not at all enter into it any thing defiling and doing abomination, and a lie, but -- those written in the scroll of the life of the Lamb. Rev. 21:27
- And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, bright as crystal, going forth out of the throne of God and of the Lamb: Rev. 22:1
- in the midst of its broad place, and of the river on this side and on that, is a tree of life, yielding twelve fruits, in each several month rendering its fruits, and the leaves of the tree are for the service of the nations; Rev. 22:2
- and any curse there shall not be any more, and the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it, and His servants shall serve Him, Rev. 22:3
- and night shall not be there, and they have no need of a lamp and light of a sun, because the Lord God doth give them light, and they shall reign -- to the ages of the ages. Rev. 22:5
- And he said to me, `These words are stedfast and true, and the Lord God of the holy prophets did send His messenger to shew to His servants the things that it behoveth to come quickly: Rev. 22:6
- Lo, I come quickly; happy is he who is keeping the words of the prophecy of this scroll.' Rev. 22:7
- And I, John, am he who is seeing these things and hearing, and when I heard and beheld, I fell down to bow before the feet of the messenger who is shewing me these things; Rev. 22:8

- And he saith to me, `Thou mayest not seal the words of the prophecy of this scroll, because the time is nigh; Rev. 22:10

- `Happy are those doing His commands that the authority shall be theirs unto the tree of the life, and by the gates they may enter into the city; Rev. 22:14
- and without are the dogs, and the sorcerers, and the whoremongers, and the murderers, and the idolaters, and every one who is loving and is doing a lie. Rev. 22:15
- `I, Jesus did send my messenger to testify to you these things concerning the assemblies; I am the root and the offspring of David, the bright and morning star! Rev. 22:16
- And the Spirit and the Bride say, Come; and he who is hearing -- let him say, Come; and he who is thirsting -- let him come; and he who is willing -- let him take the water of life freely. Rev. 22:17
- `For I testify to every one hearing the words of the prophecy of this scroll, if any one may add unto these, God shall add to him the plagues that have been written in this scroll, Rev. 22:18
- and if any one may take away from the words of the scroll of this prophecy, God shall take away his part from the scroll of the life, and out of the holy city, and the things that have been written in this scroll;' Rev. 22:19
- The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ is with you all. Amen. Rev. 22:21
