¹³ 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;

³ 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, ⁴ having known, brethren beloved, by God, your election,

¹⁸ But say may some one, Thou hast faith, and I have works, shew me thy faith out of thy works, and I will shew thee out of my works my faith: ¹⁹ thou—thou dost believe that God is one; thou dost well, and the demons believe, and they shudder! ²⁰ And dost thou wish to know, O vain man, that the faith apart from the works is dead? ²¹ Abraham our father—was not he declared righteous out of works, having brought up Isaac his son upon the altar? ²² dost thou see that the faith was working with his works, and out of the works the faith was perfected?

³³ 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.'

³⁶ 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?

²⁰ and this having said, he shewed them his hands and side; the disciples, therefore, rejoiced, having seen the Lord. ²¹ Jesus, therefore, said to them again, `Peace to you; according as the Father hath sent me, I also send you;' <sup>22</sup> and this having said, he breathed on them, and saith to them, `Receive the Holy Spirit; ²³ if of any ye may loose the sins, they are loosed to them; if of any ye may retain, they have been retained.'

¹⁷ `And I have known, my God, that Thou art trying the heart, and uprightness dost desire; I, in the uprightness of my heart, have willingly offered all these: and now, Thy people who are found here I have seen with joy to offer willingly to Thee.

² Thou—Thou hast known my sitting down, And my rising up, Thou hast attended to my thoughts from afar.

²⁶ An abomination to Jehovah are thoughts of wickedness, And pure are sayings of pleasantness.

⁹ The thought of folly is sin, And an abomination to man is a scorner.

⁷ Forsake doth the wicked his way, And the man of iniquity his thoughts, And he returneth to Jehovah, and He pitieth him, And unto our God for He multiplieth to pardon.

¹⁰ Thus said the Lord Jehovah: And it hath come to pass in that day, Come up do things on thy heart, And thou hast thought an evil thought,

⁴ And Jesus, having known their thoughts, said, `Why think ye evil in your hearts?

²¹ for from within, out of the heart of men, the evil reasonings do come forth, adulteries, whoredoms, murders,

²² And Jesus having known their reasonings, answering, said unto them, `What reason ye in your hearts?

⁸ 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.

³⁹ 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.' <sup>40</sup> And Jesus answering said unto him, `Simon, I have something to say to thee;' and he saith, `Teacher, say on.'

³⁸ And he said to them, `Why are ye troubled? and wherefore do reasonings come up in your hearts?

²⁴ and Jesus himself was not trusting himself to them, because of his knowing all men, ²⁵ and because he had no need that any should testify concerning man, for he himself was knowing what was in man.

⁶⁴ 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,

¹⁷ 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;

³ 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?

²² reform, therefore, from this thy wickedness, and beseech God, if then the purpose of thy heart may be forgiven thee,

¹³ and there is not a created thing not manifest before Him, but all things are naked and open to His eyes—with whom is our reckoning.

²³ 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.

⁵ for which is easier? to say, The sins have been forgiven to thee; or to say, Rise, and walk?

²² And Jesus having known their reasonings, answering, said unto them, `What reason ye in your hearts? <sup>23</sup> which is easier—to say, Thy sins have been forgiven thee? or to say, Arise, and walk? <sup>24</sup> `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.' ²⁵ And presently having risen before them, having taken up that on which he was lying, he went away to his house, glorifying God,

¹³ `I was seeing in the visions of the night, and lo, with the clouds of the heavens as a son of man was one coming, and unto the Ancient of Days he hath come, and before Him they have brought him near. ¹⁴ And to him is given dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, and all peoples, nations, and languages do serve him, his dominion is a dominion age-during, that passeth not away, and his kingdom that which is not destroyed.

¹³ And Jesus, having come to the parts of Caesarea Philippi, was asking his disciples, saying, `Who do men say me to be—the Son of Man?'

²⁰ 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. ²¹ `For, as the Father doth raise the dead, and doth make alive, so also the Son doth make alive whom he willeth; <sup>22</sup> for neither doth the Father judge any one, but all the judgment He hath given to the Son, <sup>23</sup> 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. <sup>24</sup> `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. ²⁵ `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; ²⁶ for, as the Father hath life in himself, so He gave also to the Son to have life in himself, ²⁷ and authority He gave him also to do judgment, because he is Son of Man.

¹³ who before was speaking evil, and persecuting, and insulting, but I found kindness, because, being ignorant, I did it in unbelief, ¹⁴ and exceedingly abound did the grace of our Lord, with faith and love that is in Christ Jesus: ¹⁵ stedfast is the word, and of all acceptation worthy, that Christ Jesus came to the world to save sinners—first of whom I am; ¹⁶ but because of this I found kindness, that in me first Jesus Christ might shew forth all long-suffering, for a pattern of those about to believe on him to life age-during:

⁴¹ And Jesus having been moved with compassion, having stretched forth the hand, touched him, and saith to him, `I will; be thou cleansed;'

⁸ Jesus saith to him, `Rise, take up thy couch, and be walking;' <sup>9</sup> and immediately the man became whole, and he took up his couch, and was walking, and it was a sabbath on that day, <sup>10</sup> 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.'

⁶³ 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;

⁸ and the multitudes having seen, wondered, and glorified God, who did give such power to men.

³³ and the demon having been cast out, the dumb spake, and the multitude did wonder, saying that `It was never so seen in Israel:'

²³ And all the multitudes were amazed, and said, `Is this the Son of David?'

³¹ so that the multitudes did wonder, seeing dumb ones speaking, maimed whole, lame walking, and blind seeing; and they glorified the God of Israel.

²⁷ 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!'

²⁶ and astonishment took all, and they were glorifying God, and were filled with fear, saying—`We saw strange things to-day.'

¹⁶ and fear took hold of all, and they were glorifying God, saying—`A great prophet hath risen among us,' and—`God did look upon His people.'

¹³ and he laid on her his hands, and presently she was set upright, and was glorifying God.

¹⁵ and one of them having seen that he was healed did turn back, with a loud voice glorifying God,

³¹ 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?'

³² from the age it was not heard, that any one did open eyes of one who hath been born blind;

²¹ 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,

²⁰ Wisdom in an out-place crieth aloud, In broad places she giveth forth her voice, ²¹ At the head of the multitudes she calleth, In the openings of the gates, In the city her sayings she saith: ²² `Till when, ye simple, do ye love simplicity? And have scorners their scorning desired? And do fools hate knowledge?

⁹ 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.

¹ And in that day Jesus, having gone forth from the house, was sitting by the sea,

² 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.

⁷ And Jesus withdrew with his disciples unto the sea, and a great multitude from Galilee followed him, and from Judea, ⁸ 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.

²⁰ And come together again doth a multitude, so that they are not able even to eat bread; ²¹ and his friends having heard, went forth to lay hold on him, for they said that he was beside himself,

¹ 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,

⁴⁸ and they were not finding what they shall do, for all the people were hanging on him, hearing him.

³⁸ and all the people were coming early unto him in the temple to hear him.

¹⁹ and he saith to them, `Come ye after me, and I will make you fishers of men,' ²⁰ and they, immediately, having left the nets, did follow him. ²¹ 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, ²² and they, immediately, having left the boat and their father, did follow him.

⁹ 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. <sup>10</sup> 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, <sup>11</sup> and the Pharisees having seen, said to his disciples, `Wherefore with the tax-gatherers and sinners doth your teacher eat?' ¹² And Jesus having heard, said to them, `They who are whole have no need of a physician, but they who are ill; ¹³ but having gone, learn ye what is, Kindness I will, and not sacrifice, for I did not come to call righteous men, but sinners, to reformation.'

¹⁷ and Jesus said to them, `Come ye after me, and I shall make you to become fishers of men;' ¹⁸ and immediately, having left their nets, they followed him. ¹⁹ 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, ²⁰ and immediately he called them, and, having left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired servants, they went away after him.

¹⁸ and Andrew, and Philip, and Bartholomew, and Matthew, and Thomas, and James of Alpheus, and Thaddeus, and Simon the Cananite,

²⁷ 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;' <sup>28</sup> and he, having left all, having arisen, did follow him. <sup>29</sup> And Levi made a great entertainment to him in his house, and there was a great multitude of tax-gatherers and others who were with them reclining (at meat), <sup>30</sup> 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?' ³¹ And Jesus answering said unto them, `They who are well have no need of a physician, but they that are ill: ³² I came not to call righteous men, but sinners, to reformation.'

¹⁵ Matthew and Thomas, James of Alphaeus, and Simon called Zelotes,

¹³ 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;

¹⁰ 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, ¹¹ and the Pharisees having seen, said to his disciples, `Wherefore with the tax-gatherers and sinners doth your teacher eat?'

³¹ 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, ³² 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.

²⁹ And Levi made a great entertainment to him in his house, and there was a great multitude of tax-gatherers and others who were with them reclining (at meat), ³⁰ 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?'

¹⁷ 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,

¹ And all the tax-gatherers and the sinners were coming nigh to him, to hear him,

⁵ Who are saying, `Keep to thyself, come not nigh to me, For I have declared thee unholy.' These are a smoke in Mine anger, A fire burning all the day.

¹¹ and the Pharisees having seen, said to his disciples, `Wherefore with the tax-gatherers and sinners doth your teacher eat?'

¹⁷ `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.

⁷ `Why doth this one thus speak evil words? who is able to forgive sins except one—God?'

² and the Pharisees and the scribes were murmuring, saying—This one doth receive sinners, and doth eat with them.' ³ And he spake unto them this simile, saying, ⁴ `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? <sup>5</sup> and having found, he doth lay it on his shoulders rejoicing, <sup>6</sup> 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. <sup>7</sup> `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.

¹¹ 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;

⁷ and having seen it, they were all murmuring, saying—`With a sinful man he went in to lodge!'

¹⁰ for the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.'

⁹ 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;'

¹⁵ and he who is spiritual, doth discern indeed all things, and he himself is by no one discerned;

³ for consider again him who endured such gainsaying from the sinners to himself, that ye may not be wearied in your souls—being faint.

¹⁸ Come, I pray you, and we reason, saith Jehovah, If your sins are as scarlet, as snow they shall be white, If they are red as crimson, as wool they shall be!

¹⁰ `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,

⁷ `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.

¹⁰ `So I say to you, joy doth come before the messengers of God over one sinner reforming.'

²⁹ 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;

¹⁵ and he said to them, `Ye are those declaring yourselves righteous before men, but God doth know your hearts; because that which among men is high, is abomination before God;

³⁴ They answered and said to him, `In sins thou wast born altogether, and thou dost teach us!' and they cast him forth without.

⁴⁰ And those of the Pharisees who were with him heard these things, and they said to him, `Are we also blind?'

²¹ testifying fully both to Jews and Greeks, toward God reformation, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.

²⁰ 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;

⁶ For in our being still ailing, Christ in due time did die for the impious; ⁷ for scarcely for a righteous man will any one die, for for the good man perhaps some one also doth dare to die; ⁸ and God doth commend His own love to us, that, in our being still sinners, Christ did die for us;

²⁰ And law came in, that the offence might abound, and where the sin did abound, the grace did overabound, ²¹ 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.

⁹ 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, ¹⁰ nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, the reign of God shall inherit. ¹¹ 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.

¹⁴ who did give himself for us, that he might ransom us from all lawlessness, and might purify to himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works;

³ for we were once—also we—thoughtless, disobedient, led astray, serving desires and pleasures manifold, in malice and envy living, odious—hating one another; ⁴ and when the kindness and the love to men of God our Saviour did appear ⁵ (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, ⁶ which He poured upon us richly, through Jesus Christ our Saviour, ⁷ that having been declared righteous by His grace, heirs we may become according to the hope of life age-during.

¹⁶ `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.

¹⁸ that thou mayest not appear to men fasting, but to thy Father who is in secret, and thy Father, who is seeing in secret, shall reward thee manifestly.

¹⁴ Then come to him do the disciples of John, saying, `Wherefore do we and the Pharisees fast much, and thy disciples fast not?' <sup>15</sup> And Jesus said to them, `Can the sons of the bride-chamber mourn, so long as the bridegroom is with them? but days shall come when the bridegroom may be taken from them, and then they shall fast. ¹⁶ `And no one doth put a patch of undressed cloth on an old garment, for its filling up doth take from the garment, and a worse rent is made. <sup>17</sup> `Nor do they put new wine into old skins, and if not—the skins burst, and the wine doth run out, and the skins are destroyed, but they put new wine into new skins, and both are preserved together.'

⁵ `And all their works they do to be seen by men, and they make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the fringes of their garments,

³³ 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?' <sup>34</sup> And he said unto them, `Are ye able to make the sons of the bride-chamber—in the bridegroom being with them—to fast? ³⁵ but days will come, and, when the bridegroom may be taken away from them, then they shall fast in those days.' ³⁶ 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. <sup>37</sup> `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; ³⁸ but new wine into new skins is to be put, and both are preserved together; ³⁹ and no one having drunk old wine, doth immediately wish new, for he saith, The old is better.'

¹² I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all things—as many as I possess.

³ for not knowing the righteousness of God, and their own righteousness seeking to establish, to the righteousness of God they did not submit.

²² and Laban gathereth all the men of the place, and maketh a banquet.

¹⁰ And his father goeth down unto the woman, and Samson maketh there a banquet, for so the young men do; ¹¹ and it cometh to pass when they see him, that they take thirty companions, and they are with him.

¹⁴ In divers colours she is brought to the king, Virgins—after her—her companions, Are brought to thee.

⁸ Sixty are queens, and eighty concubines, And virgins without number.

¹ `Then shall the reign of the heavens be likened to ten virgins, who, having taken their lamps, went forth to meet the bridegroom; <sup>2</sup> and five of them were prudent, and five foolish; <sup>3</sup> they who were foolish having taken their lamps, did not take with themselves oil; <sup>4</sup> and the prudent took oil in their vessels, with their lamps. <sup>5</sup> `And the bridegroom tarrying, they all nodded and were sleeping, ⁶ and in the middle of the night a cry was made, Lo, the bridegroom doth come; go ye forth to meet him. ⁷ `Then rose all those virgins, and trimmed their lamps, <sup>8</sup> and the foolish said to the prudent, Give us of your oil, because our lamps are going out; <sup>9</sup> 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. <sup>10</sup> `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;

¹¹ And the king doth desire thy beauty, Because he is thy lord—bow thyself to him,

¹¹ Go forth, and look, ye daughters of Zion, On king Solomon, with the crown, With which his mother crowned him, In the day of his espousals, And in the day of the joy of his heart!

⁵ For thy Maker is thy husband, Jehovah of Hosts is His name, And thy Redeemer is the Holy One of Israel, `God of all the earth,' He is called.

⁵ For a young man doth marry a virgin, Thy Builders do marry thee, With the joy of a bridegroom over a bride, Rejoice over thee doth thy God.

⁷ Sword, awake against My shepherd, And against a hero—My fellow, An affirmation of Jehovah of Hosts. Smite the shepherd, and scattered is the flock, And I have put back My hand on the little ones.

³¹ 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;

²² 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;

²⁹ 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.

³³ Jesus, therefore, said to them, `Yet a little time I am with you, and I go away unto Him who sent me; ³⁴ ye will seek me, and ye shall not find; and where I am, ye are not able to come.'

⁸ for the poor ye have always with yourselves, and me ye have not always.'

³³ `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.

⁷ `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;

²⁸ I came forth from the Father, and have come to the world; again I leave the world, and go on unto the Father.'

¹¹ 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;

¹³ `And now unto Thee I come, and these things I speak in the world, that they may have my joy fulfilled in themselves;

⁹ And these things having said—they beholding—he was taken up, and a cloud did receive him up from their sight;

²¹ 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.

² 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,' ³ then having fasted, and having prayed, and having laid the hands on them, they sent them away.

²³ 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.

⁵ 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;

⁵ in stripes, in imprisonments, in insurrections, in labours, in watchings, in fastings,

² for I am zealous for you with zeal of God, for I did betroth you to one husband, a pure virgin, to present to Christ,

²⁷ in labouriousness and painfulness, in watchings many times, in hunger and thirst, in fastings many times, in cold and nakedness;

⁷ 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;

⁹ 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,'

¹³ As a father hath mercy on sons, Jehovah hath mercy on those fearing Him. ¹⁴ For He hath known our frame, Remembering that we are dust. ¹⁵ Mortal man! as grass are his days, As a flower of the field so he flourisheth;

¹⁶ For, not to the age do I strive, nor for ever am I wroth, For the spirit from before Me is feeble, And the souls I have made.

¹⁶ `And no one doth put a patch of undressed cloth on an old garment, for its filling up doth take from the garment, and a worse rent is made.

¹³ 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 .

⁴ and they work, even they, with subtilty, and go, and feign to be ambassadors, and take old sacks for their asses, and wine-bottles, old, and rent, and bound up,

¹³ and these are the wine-bottles which we filled, new, and lo, they have rent; and these, our garments and our sandals, have become old, from the exceeding greatness of the way.'

¹⁹ Lo, my breast is as wine not opened, Like new bottles it is broken up.

⁸⁰ My heart is perfect in Thy statutes, So that I am not ashamed.

⁸³ For I have been as a bottle in smoke, Thy statutes I have not forgotten.

¹⁷ `Nor do they put new wine into old skins, and if not—the skins burst, and the wine doth run out, and the skins are destroyed, but they put new wine into new skins, and both are preserved together.'

³⁷ `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; ³⁸ but new wine into new skins is to be put, and both are preserved together;

²⁴ `When thou comest in unto the vineyard of thy neighbour, then thou hast eaten grapes, according to thy desire, thy sufficiency; but into thy vessel thou dost not put any . ²⁵ When thou comest in among the standing-corn of thy neighbour, then thou hast plucked the ears with thy hand, but a sickle thou dost not wave over the standing-corn of thy neighbour.

¹ 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, ² and the Pharisees having seen, said to him, `Lo, thy disciples do that which it is not lawful to do on a sabbath.' <sup>3</sup> And he said to them, `Did ye not read what David did, when he was hungry, himself and those with him— ⁴ 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? ⁵ `Or did ye not read in the Law, that on the sabbaths the priests in the temple do profane the sabbath, and are blameless? ⁶ and I say to you, that a greater than the temple is here; ⁷ and if ye had known what is: Kindness I will, and not sacrifice—ye had not condemned the blameless, ⁸ for the son of man is lord even of the sabbath.'

¹ 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, ² and certain of the Pharisees said to them, `Why do ye that which is not lawful to do on the sabbaths?' <sup>3</sup> And Jesus answering said unto them, `Did ye not read even this that David did, when he hungered, himself and those who are with him, ⁴ 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?' ⁵ and he said to them, —`The Son of Man is lord also of the sabbath.'

¹⁰ and the seventh day is a Sabbath to Jehovah thy God; thou dost not do any work, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, thy man-servant, and thy handmaid, and thy cattle, and thy sojourner who is within thy gates, —

¹⁵ `Six days is work done, and in the seventh day is a sabbath of holy rest to Jehovah; any who doeth work in the sabbath-day is certainly put to death,

² Six days is work done, and on the seventh day there is to you a holy day, a sabbath of rest to Jehovah; any who doeth work in it is put to death; ³ ye do not burn a fire in any of your dwellings on the sabbath-day.'

³² And the sons of Israel are in the wilderness, and they find a man gathering wood on the sabbath-day, ³³ and those finding him gathering wood bring him near unto Moses, and unto Aaron, and unto all the company, ³⁴ and they place him in ward, for it is not explained what is to be done to him. ³⁵ And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `The man is certainly put to death, all the company stoning him with stones, at the outside of the camp.' ³⁶ And all the company bring him out unto the outside of the camp, and stone him with stones, and he dieth, as Jehovah hath commanded Moses.

¹⁵ 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. ¹⁶ 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. ¹⁷ 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? <sup>18</sup> 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.' <sup>19</sup> 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. <sup>20</sup> And they lodge—the merchants and sellers of all ware—at the outside of Jerusalem, once or twice, <sup>21</sup> 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. ²² 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.

² O the happiness of a man who doth this, And of a son of man who keepeth hold on it, Keeping the sabbath from polluting it, And keeping his hand from doing any evil.

⁴ For thus said Jehovah of the eunuchs, Who do keep My sabbaths, And have fixed on that which I desired, And are keeping hold on My covenant:

⁶ And sons of the stranger, who are joined to Jehovah, To serve Him, and to love the name of Jehovah, To be to Him for servants, Every keeper of the sabbath from polluting it, And those keeping hold on My covenant.

¹³ If thou dost turn from the sabbath thy foot, Doing thine own pleasure on My holy day, And hast cried to the sabbath, `A delight,' To the holy of Jehovah, `Honoured,' And hast honoured it, without doing thine own ways, Without finding thine own pleasure, And speaking a word.

²⁰ and thou hast said unto them: Hear a word of Jehovah, ye kings of Judah, and all Judah, and all inhabitants of Jerusalem, who are coming in by these gates, ²¹ Thus said Jehovah, Take ye heed to yourselves, And ye bear not a burden on the day of rest, Nor have ye brought it in by the gates of Jerusalem. ²² Nor do ye take out a burden from your houses on the day of rest, Yea, any work ye do not do, And ye have sanctified the day of rest, As I have commanded your fathers. ²³ And they have not hearkened nor inclined their ear, And they stiffen their neck not to hear, And not to receive instruction. ²⁴ And it hath been, if ye certainly hearken unto Me, An affirmation of Jehovah, So as not to bring in a burden By the gates of this city on the day of rest, And to sanctify the day of rest, So as not to do in it any work— ²⁵ Then entered by the gates of this city have kings and princes, Sitting on the throne of David, Riding in a chariot, and on horses, They, and their princes, the man of Judah, And inhabitants of Jerusalem, And this city hath remained to the age. ²⁶ And they have come in from cities of Judah, And from suburbs of Jerusalem, And from the land of Benjamin, And from the low country, And from the hill-country, and from the south, Bringing in burnt-offering, and sacrifice, And present, and frankincense, And bringing praise to the house of Jehovah. ²⁷ And if ye do not hearken unto me to sanctify the day of rest, And so as not to bear a burden, And to come in at the gates of Jerusalem on the day of rest, Then I have kindled a fire in its gates, And it hath consumed the high places of Jerusalem, And it is not quenched!'

³ `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? ⁴ 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? ⁵ 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.

² and the Pharisees having seen, said to him, `Lo, thy disciples do that which it is not lawful to do on a sabbath.'

² `Wherefore do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? for they do not wash their hands when they may eat bread.' <sup>3</sup> And he answering said to them, `Wherefore also do ye transgress the command of God because of your tradition?

²³ `Woe 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. <sup>24</sup> `Blind guides! who are straining out the gnat, and the camel are swallowing.

¹⁶ 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?'

³ and now, what is there under thy hand? five loaves give into my hand, or that which is found.' ⁴ And the priest answereth David, and saith, `There is no common bread under my hand, but there is holy bread; if the youths have been kept only from women.' <sup>5</sup> And David answereth the priest, and saith to him, `Surely, if women have been restrained from us as heretofore in my going out, then the vessels of the young men are holy, and it is a common way: and also, surely to-day it is sanctified in the vessel.' ⁶ And the priest giveth to him the holy thing, for there was no bread there except the bread of the Presence which is turned aside from the presence of Jehovah to put hot bread in the day of its being taken away.

⁴ 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,

¹⁶ 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?'

⁴² 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.

³¹ `And concerning the rising again of the dead, did ye not read that which was spoken to you by God, saying,

²⁰ `There were then seven brothers, and the first took a wife, and dying, he left no seed;

²⁶ `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;

²⁶ And he said unto him, `In the law what hath been written? how dost thou read?'

³² and Aaron hath eaten—his sons also—the flesh of the ram, and the bread which is in the basket, at the opening of the tent of meeting; ³³ and they have eaten those things by which there is atonement to consecrate their hand, to sanctify them; and a stranger doth not eat—for they are holy;

⁵ `And thou hast taken flour, and hast baked twelve cakes with it, two tenth deals are in the one cake, <sup>6</sup> and thou hast set them two ranks (six in the rank) on the pure table before Jehovah, <sup>7</sup> and thou hast put on the rank pure frankincense, and it hath been to the bread for a memorial, a fire-offering to Jehovah. <sup>8</sup> `On each sabbath-day he arrangeth it before Jehovah continually, from the sons of Israel—a covenant age-during; ⁹ and it hath been to Aaron, and to his sons, and they have eaten it in the holy place, for it is most holy to him, from the fire-offerings of Jehovah—a statute age-during.'

¹ And David cometh in to Nob, unto Ahimelech the priest, and Ahimelech trembleth at meeting David, and saith to him, `Wherefore art thou thyself alone, and no man with thee?'

²⁰ And there escapeth one son of Ahimelech, son of Ahitub, and his name is Abiathar, and he fleeth after David, ²¹ and Abiathar declareth to David that Saul hath slain the priests of Jehovah. ²² And David saith to Abiathar, `I have known on that day when Doeg the Edomite is there, that he doth certainly declare it to Saul; I have brought it round to every person of the house of thy father;

⁶ And it cometh to pass, in the fleeing of Abiathar son of Ahimelech unto David, to Keilah, an ephod came down in his hand.

⁹ And David knoweth that against him Saul is devising the evil, and saith unto Abiathar the priest, `Bring nigh the ephod.'

¹⁷ and Zadok son of Ahitub, and Ahimelech son of Abiathar, are priests, and Seraiah is scribe,

²⁴ and lo, also Zadok, and all the Levites with him, bearing the ark of the covenant of God, and they make the ark of God firm, and Abiathar goeth up, till the completion of all the people to pass over out of the city.

²⁹ And Zadok taketh back—and Abiathar—the ark of God to Jerusalem, and they abide there.

³⁵ and are there not with thee there Zadok and Abiathar the priests? and it hath been, the whole of the matter that thou hearest from the house of the king thou dost declare to Zadok and to Abiathar the priests.

²⁵ and Sheva is scribe, and Zadok and Abiathar are priests,

⁷ And his words are with Joab son of Zeruiah, and with Abiathar the priest, and they help after Adonijah;

²² And king Solomon answereth and saith to his mother, `And why art thou asking Abishag the Shunammite for Adonijah? also ask for him the kingdom—for he is mine elder brother—even for him, and for Abiathar the priest, and for Joab son of Zeruiah.'

²⁶ And to Abiathar the priest said the king, `To Anathoth go, unto thy fields; for a man of death thou art, but in this day I do not put thee to death, because thou hast borne the ark of the Lord Jehovah before David my father, and because thou wast afflicted in all that my father was afflicted in.' ²⁷ And Solomon casteth out Abiathar from being priest to Jehovah, to fulfil the word of Jehovah which He spake concerning the house of Eli in Shiloh.

⁴ and Benaiah son of Jehoiada is over the host; and Zadok and Abiathar are priests;

⁶ And Shemaiah son of Nethaneel the scribe, of the Levites, writeth them before the king and the princes, and Zadok the priest, and Ahimelech son of Abiathar, and heads of the fathers, for priests and for Levites: one house of a father being taken possession of for Eleazar, and one being taken possession of for Ithamar.

¹² `Six days thou dost do thy work, and on the seventh day thou dost rest, so that thine ox and thine ass doth rest, and the son of thine handmaid and the sojourner is refreshed;

¹⁴ and the seventh day is a sabbath to Jehovah thy God; thou dost not do any work, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy man-servant, and thy handmaid, and thine ox, and thine ass, and all thy cattle, and thy sojourner who is within thy gates; so that thy man-servant, and thy handmaid doth rest like thyself;

¹³ `And on mount Sinai Thou hast come down, even to speak with them from the heavens, and Thou dost give to them right judgments, and true laws, good statutes and commands. ¹⁴ And Thy holy sabbath Thou hast made known to them, and commands, and statutes, and law, Thou hast commanded for them, by the hand of Moses Thy servant;

¹² And also My sabbaths I have given to them, To be for a sign between Me and them, To know that I am Jehovah their sanctifier.

²⁰ And My sabbaths sanctify, And they have been for a sign between Me and you, To know that I, Jehovah, am your God.

⁹ 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?'

²³ 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?

²¹ So then, let no one glory in men, for all things are yours, ²² whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things about to be—all are yours,

¹⁵ 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;

¹⁶ Let no one, then, judge you in eating or in drinking, or in respect of a feast, or of a new moon, or of sabbaths,

⁸ for the son of man is lord even of the sabbath.'
