Acts 10 Cross References - ABU

¹ THERE was a certain man in Caesarea named Cornelius, a centurion of the band called the Italian band; ² devout, and one that feared God with all his house, giving many alms to the people, and praying to God always. ³ He saw in a vision, distinctly, about the ninth hour of the day, an angel of God coming in to him, and saying to him: Cornelius! ⁴ And fixing his eyes on him, he was afraid, and said: What is it, Lord? And he said to him: Thy prayers and thine alms are come up for a memorial before God. ⁵ And now send men to Joppa, and call for Simon, who is surnamed Peter. ⁶ He lodges with one Simon a tanner, whose house is by the seaside. ⁷ And when the angel who spoke to Cornelius was gone, he called two of his household servants, and a devout soldier of those who waited on him; ⁸ and having told them all these things, he sent them to Joppa. ⁹ On the morrow, as they were journeying, and drawing near to the city, Peter went up upon the house-top to pray, about the sixth hour. ¹⁰ And he became very hungry, and desired to eat. While they now were making ready, there fell upon him a trance; ¹¹ and he beholds heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending upon him, as a great sheet, bound by four corners, and let down upon the earth; ¹² wherein were all the fourfooted beasts and creeping things of the earth, and birds of the air. ¹³ And there came a voice to him: Arise, Peter; slay, and eat. ¹⁴ But Peter said: Not so, Lord; for I never ate anything common or unclean. ¹⁵ And a voice came to him again, the second time: What God cleansed, call not thou common. ¹⁶ This was done thrice; and the vessel was taken up again into heaven. ¹⁷ And while Peter was doubting in himself what the vision might be which he saw, behold, the men who were sent from Cornelius, having made inquiry for Simon's house, came and stood before the gate; ¹⁸ and calling they asked, whether Simon, who is surnamed Peter, lodges here. ¹⁹ While Peter was earnestly considering the vision, the Spirit said to him: Behold, men are seeking thee. ²⁰ But arise, and go down, and go with them, making no scruple; because I have sent them. ²¹ Peter went down to the men, and said: Behold, I am he whom ye seek. What is the cause for which ye are here? ²² And they said: Cornelius, a centurion, a just man, and one that fears God, and of good report among all the nation of the Jews, was warned from God by a holy angel to send for thee to his house; and to hear words from thee. ²³ He called them in, therefore, and lodged them. And on the morrow Peter went forth with them, and certain brethren from Joppa went with him. ²⁴ And on the morrow after, they entered into Caesarea. And Cornelius was expecting them, having called together his kinsmen and near friends. ²⁵ And as Peter was coming in, Cornelius met him, and fell down at his feet, and did reverence to him. ²⁶ But Peter raised him, saying: Stand up; I myself also am a man. ²⁷ And while talking with him, he went in, and found many that were come together. ²⁸ And he said to them: Ye know that it is unlawful for a Jew to keep company with, or come to, one of another nation; but God showed me that I should not call any man common or unclean. ²⁹ Wherefore I also came without delay, when sent for. I ask therefore for what reason did ye send for me? ³⁰ And Cornelius said: Four days ago I was fasting unto this hour, and at the ninth hour was praying in my house; and, behold, a man stood before me in bright clothing, ³¹ and said: Cornelius, thy prayer was heard, and thine alms were remembered before God. ³² Send therefore to Joppa, and call for Simon, who is surnamed Peter; he lodges in the house of Simon a tanner, by the sea-side; who, when he comes will speak to thee. ³³ Immediately therefore I sent to thee; and thou didst well in coming hither. Now therefore we are all present before God, to hear all things that are commanded thee from the Lord. ³⁴ And Peter opened his mouth, and said: Of a truth I perceive that God is not a respecter of persons; ³⁵ but in every nation he that fears him, and works righteousness, is acceptable to him. ³⁶ The word which he sent to the sons of Israel, publishing glad tidings of peace through Jesus Christ (he is Lord of all), ³⁷ ye know; the thing which was done throughout all Judaea, beginning from Galilee, after the immersion which John preached; Jesus of Nazareth, ³⁸ how God anointed him with the Holy Spirit and with power; who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed by the Devil; because God was with him. ³⁹ And we are witnesses of all things which he did both in the country of the Jews, and in Jerusalem; whom they slew, hanging him on a tree. ⁴⁰ Him God raised on the third day, and showed him openly; ⁴¹ not to all the people, but to witnesses before appointed by God, to us, who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead. ⁴² And he commanded us to preach to the people, and to testify that it is he who has been appointed by God to be Judge of the living and dead. ⁴³ To him all the prophets bear witness, that through his name every one who believes on him shall receive remission of sins. ⁴⁴ While Peter was yet speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell on all who heard the word. ⁴⁵ And those of the circumcision who believed, as many as came with Peter, were astonished, that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Spirit. ⁴⁶ For they heard them speaking with tongues, and magnifying God.

While they now were making ready, there fell upon him a trance; ¹¹ and he beholds heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending upon him, as a great sheet, bound by four corners, and let down upon the earth; ¹² wherein were all the fourfooted beasts and creeping things of the earth, and birds of the air. ¹³ And there came a voice to him: Arise, Peter; slay, and eat. ¹⁴ But Peter said: Not so, Lord; for I never ate anything common or unclean. ¹⁵ And a voice came to him again, the second time: What God cleansed, call not thou common. ¹⁶ This was done thrice; and the vessel was taken up again into heaven. ¹⁷ And while Peter was doubting in himself what the vision might be which he saw, behold, the men who were sent from Cornelius, having made inquiry for Simon's house, came and stood before the gate; ¹⁸ and calling they asked, whether Simon, who is surnamed Peter, lodges here. ¹⁹ While Peter was earnestly considering the vision, the Spirit said to him: Behold, men are seeking thee. ²⁰ But arise, and go down, and go with them, making no scruple; because I have sent them. ²¹ Peter went down to the men, and said: Behold, I am he whom ye seek. What is the cause for which ye are here? ²² And they said: Cornelius, a centurion, a just man, and one that fears God, and of good report among all the nation of the Jews, was warned from God by a holy angel to send for thee to his house; and to hear words from thee. ²³ He called them in, therefore, and lodged them. And on the morrow Peter went forth with them, and certain brethren from Joppa went with him. ²⁴ And on the morrow after, they entered into Caesarea. And Cornelius was expecting them, having called together his kinsmen and near friends. ²⁵ And as Peter was coming in, Cornelius met him, and fell down at his feet, and did reverence to him. ²⁶ But Peter raised him, saying: Stand up; I myself also am a man. ²⁷ And while talking with him, he went in, and found many that were come together. ²⁸ And he said to them: Ye know that it is unlawful for a Jew to keep company with, or come to, one of another nation; but God showed me that I should not call any man common or unclean. ²⁹ Wherefore I also came without delay, when sent for. I ask therefore for what reason did ye send for me? ³⁰ And Cornelius said: Four days ago I was fasting unto this hour, and at the ninth hour was praying in my house; and, behold, a man stood before me in bright clothing, ³¹ and said: Cornelius, thy prayer was heard, and thine alms were remembered before God. ³² Send therefore to Joppa, and call for Simon, who is surnamed Peter; he lodges in the house of Simon a tanner, by the sea-side; who, when he comes will speak to thee.

⁵ I was in the city of Joppa praying; and in a trance I saw a vision, a certain vessel descending, as a great sheet, let down out of heaven by four corners; and it came even to me. ⁶ On which fixing my eyes, I considered, and saw fourfooted beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and birds of the air. ⁷ And I heard a voice saying to me: Arise, Peter; slay and eat. ⁸ But I said: Not so, Lord; for nothing common or unclean ever entered into my mouth. ⁹ But a voice answered me a second time out of heaven: What God cleansed, regard not thou as common. ¹⁰ And this was done three times; and all were drawn up again into heaven. ¹¹ And, behold, immediately there stood three men at the house where I was, having been sent to me from Caesarea. ¹² And the Spirit bade me go with them, making no scruple. And these six brethren also went with me, and we entered into the man's house.

¹⁸ praying at every fitting season in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints;

⁸ I desire, therefore, that the men pray in every place, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and disputing;

² And having fasted forty days and forty nights, he afterwards hungered.

¹ AT that time Jesus went on the sabbath through the grain-fields; and his disciples were hungry, and began to pluck ears of grain, and to eat. ² And the Pharisees seeing it said to him: Behold, thy disciples are doing that which it is not lawful to do on the sabbath. ³ And he said to them: Have ye not read what David did, when he hungered, himself and those with him;

¹⁸ And in the morning, as he was returning into the city, he hungered.

¹⁷ And it came to pass, when I had returned to Jerusalem, and as I was praying in the temple, that I was in a trance,

² I know a man in Christ, above fourteen years ago (whether in the body I know not, or whether out of the body I know not, God knows) such a one caught up even to the third heaven. ³ And I know such a man (whether in the body or without the body I know not, God knows), ⁴ that he was caught up into paradise, and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter.

¹⁰ I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day; and I heard behind me a loud voice, as of a trumpet,

² Immediately I was in the Spirit; and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne. ³ And he who sat was like in appearance to a jasper and sardine stone; and there was a rainbow round the throne, like in appearance to an emerald;

¹¹ And I say to you, that many will come from the east and west, and will recline at table, with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven;

⁴⁷ Again, the kingdom of heaven is like to a net, cast into the sea, and gathering together of every kind. ⁴⁸ Which, when it was filled, they drew up upon the beach, and sat down and gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad away.

²¹ Now it came to pass, when all the people had been immersed, that as Jesus, having also been immersed, was praying, the heaven was opened,

⁵¹ And he says to him: Verily, verily, I say to you, henceforth ye shall see heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man.

⁵² and not for the nation only, but that also he should gather together into one the children of God that were scattered abroad.

³² And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men to me.

⁵⁶ Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing on the right hand of God.

¹⁶ For I am not ashamed of the gospel; for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believes, to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

²⁹ Is he not also of Gentiles? Yes, of Gentiles also; ³⁰ seeing that God is one, who will justify the circumcision by faith, and the uncircumcision through the faith. ³¹ Do we then make void law through the faith? Far be it! Yea, we establish law.

⁴ who are Israelites; whose is the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service, and the promises;

⁹ and that the Gentiles should glorify God for his mercy; as it is written: For this cause I will give thee praise among Gentiles. And to thy name will sing. ¹⁰ And again he says: Rejoice, ye Gentiles, with his people. ¹¹ And again: Praise the Lord, all ye Gentiles; And extol him, all ye peoples. ¹² And again, Isaiah says: There shall be the root of Jesse, And he who rises up to rule the Gentiles; On him will Gentiles hope.

²⁵ Now to him who is able to establish you, according to my gospel and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery kept in silence during eternal ages ²⁶ but now made manifest, and through the scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the eternal God, made known to all nations for obedience to the faith,

¹⁵ We are Jews by nature, and not sinners from among the Gentiles;

²⁸ There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is no male and female; for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.

¹⁰ in reference to the dispensation of the fullness of times, to gather for himself into one all things in the Christ, the things which are in the heavens, and the things on the earth;

⁶ that the Gentiles are fellow-heirs, and of the same body, and partakers with us of the promise, in Christ Jesus, through the gospel;

¹¹ where there is no Greek and Jew, circumcision and uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bondman, freeman; but Christ is all, and in all.

¹ AFTER these things I saw, and, behold, a door set open in heaven, and that first voice (which I heard as of a trumpet speaking with me) saying: Come up hither, and I will show thee what things must take place after these.

¹⁹ And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and the ark of his covenant was seen in his temple; and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunders, and an earthquake, and a great hail.

¹¹ And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse, and he who sat upon him, called Faithful and True; and in righteousness he judges, and makes war.

³⁷ In the last day, the great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying: If any one thirst, let him come to me and drink.

⁹ Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor the effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, ¹⁰ nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. ¹¹ And such were some of you; but ye were washed, but ye were sanctified, but ye were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.

³¹ In the mean while the disciples prayed him, saying: Master, eat. ³² But he said to them: I have food to eat that ye know not of. ³³ Therefore said the disciples one to another: Has any one brought him aught to eat? ³⁴ Jesus says to them: My food is to do the will of him who sent me, and to finish his work.

¹⁰ And he became very hungry, and desired to eat. While they now were making ready, there fell upon him a trance;

²² And Peter taking him aside began to rebuke him, saying: Be it far from thee, Lord; this shall not be to thee.

⁹ But the wise answered, saying: Not so; there will not be enough for us and you. Go rather to those who sell, and buy for yourselves.

⁶⁰ And his mother answered and said: Nay; but he shall be called John.

⁵ And he said: Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said: I am Jesus, whom thou persecutest.

²⁸ And he said to them: Ye know that it is unlawful for a Jew to keep company with, or come to, one of another nation; but God showed me that I should not call any man common or unclean.

¹¹ Not that which enters into the mouth defiles the man; but that which comes out of the mouth, this defiles the man.

¹⁹ Because it enters not into his heart, but into the belly, and goes out into the drain, cleansing all food.

⁹ But a voice answered me a second time out of heaven: What God cleansed, regard not thou as common.

⁹ and made no difference between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith.

²⁰ but that we write to them, that they abstain from pollutions of idols, and from fornication, and from what is strangled, and from blood.

²⁹ that ye abstain from things offered to idols, and from blood, and from what is strangled, and from fornication; from which if ye keep yourselves, ye will do well. Farewell.

¹⁴ I know, and am persuaded in the Lord Jesus, that nothing is unclean of itself; but to him that accounts anything to be unclean, to him it is unclean.

²⁰ For the sake of food destroy not the work of God. All things indeed are pure; but it is evil for that man who eats with offense.

²⁵ Whatever is sold in the market eat, asking no question for conscience sake';

¹² For before certain ones came from James, he ate with the Gentiles; but when they came, he withdrew and separated himself, fearing those who were of the circumcision. ¹³ And the other Jews also dissembled with him, so that Barnabas also was carried away with their dissimulation.

³ forbidding to marry, commanding to abstain from food, which God created to be received with thanksgiving, for those who believe and know the truth. ⁴ For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving; ⁵ for it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.

¹⁵ To the pure all things are pure; but to the defiled and unbelieving nothing is pure; but both their mind and conscience are defiled.

⁹ which is a figure for the time present, under which are offered both gifts and sacrifices, unable as to the conscience to perfect the worshiper; ¹⁰ only with meats and drinks, and divers immersions, ordinances of the flesh, imposed until the time of reformation.

¹⁴ And I saw, and behold a white cloud, and upon the cloud one sitting like to the Son of man, having on his head a golden crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle. ¹⁵ And another angel came forth out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to him who sat on the cloud: Put forth thy sickle, and reap; because the time to reap is come; because the harvest of the earth is ripe. ¹⁶ And he who sat on the cloud thrust in his sickle upon the earth; and the earth was reaped. ¹⁷ And another angel came forth out of the temple which is in heaven, he also having a sharp sickle.

²⁰ And the wine-press was trodden without the city, and blood came forth out of the wine-press, even to the bits of the horses, as far as a thousand and six hundred furlongs.

¹⁷ He says to him the third time: Simon, son of Jonah, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he said to him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said to him: Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus says to him: Feed my sheep.

¹ THIS third time I am coming to you. In the mouth of two witnesses, and of three, shall every word be established.

¹² When therefore he had washed their feet, he took his garments, and reclining again at table, said to them: Know ye what I have done to you?

¹² And all were amazed, and were in doubt, saying one to another: What may this mean?

²⁴ And when the priest and the captain of the temple and the chief priests heard these things, they were at a loss concerning them, to what this might grow.

³ He saw in a vision, distinctly, about the ninth hour of the day, an angel of God coming in to him, and saying to him: Cornelius!

⁷ And when the angel who spoke to Cornelius was gone, he called two of his household servants, and a devout soldier of those who waited on him; ⁸ and having told them all these things, he sent them to Joppa. ⁹ On the morrow, as they were journeying, and drawing near to the city, Peter went up upon the house-top to pray, about the sixth hour. ¹⁰ And he became very hungry, and desired to eat. While they now were making ready, there fell upon him a trance; ¹¹ and he beholds heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending upon him, as a great sheet, bound by four corners, and let down upon the earth; ¹² wherein were all the fourfooted beasts and creeping things of the earth, and birds of the air. ¹³ And there came a voice to him: Arise, Peter; slay, and eat. ¹⁴ But Peter said: Not so, Lord; for I never ate anything common or unclean. ¹⁵ And a voice came to him again, the second time: What God cleansed, call not thou common. ¹⁶ This was done thrice; and the vessel was taken up again into heaven. ¹⁷ And while Peter was doubting in himself what the vision might be which he saw, behold, the men who were sent from Cornelius, having made inquiry for Simon's house, came and stood before the gate; ¹⁸ and calling they asked, whether Simon, who is surnamed Peter, lodges here. ¹⁹ While Peter was earnestly considering the vision, the Spirit said to him: Behold, men are seeking thee.

²⁰ And I, being perplexed in regard to the dispute about these things, asked whether he would go to Jerusalem, and there be judged concerning them.

¹¹ searching as to what or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them signified, when it testified beforehand the sufferings destined for Christ, and the glories that should follow;

⁵ And now send men to Joppa, and call for Simon, who is surnamed Peter. ⁶ He lodges with one Simon a tanner, whose house is by the seaside.

¹¹ And, behold, immediately there stood three men at the house where I was, having been sent to me from Caesarea.

¹³ But when he, the Spirit of truth is come, he will guide you into all the truth; for he will not speak from himself, but whatever he shall hear, that will he speak, and he will tell you the things to come.

²⁹ And the Spirit said to Philip: Go near, and join thyself to this chariot.

¹² And the Spirit bade me go with them, making no scruple. And these six brethren also went with me, and we entered into the man's house.

² And while they were ministering to the Lord, and fasting, the Holy Spirit said: Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul, unto the work to which I have called them.

⁶ And having gone through the region of Phrygia and Galatia, and being forbidden by the Holy Spirit to speak the word in Asia, ⁷ they came to Mysia, and attempted to go into Bithynia; but the Spirit of Jesus did not permit them.

⁴ And having found out the disciples, we remained there seven days; who said to Paul through the Spirit, that he should not go up to Jerusalem.

¹¹ But all these works the one and self-same Spirit, dividing to each one severally as he will.

¹ NOW the Spirit says expressly, that in after-times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and teachings of demons;

¹⁵ And he said to them: Go into all the world, and preach the good news to every creature.

²⁶ But an angel of the Lord spoke to Philip, saying: Arise, and go down to the south, to the way that goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza. This is desert.

¹⁵ But the Lord said to him: Go; for he is to me a chosen vessel, to bear my name before Gentiles, and kings, and the sons of Israel;

¹⁷ And Ananias went, and entered into the house; and putting his hands on him, he said: Brother Saul, the Lord has sent me, Jesus who appeared to thee in the way thou camest, that thou mayest receive sight, and be filled with the Holy Spirit.

⁴ They therefore, being sent forth by the Holy Spirit, came down to Seleucia; and from thence they sailed away to Cyprus.

⁷ And when there had been much discussion, Peter arose, and said to them: Men, brethren, ye know that a long time ago God made choice among us, that by my mouth the Gentiles should hear the word of the glad tidings and believe. ⁸ And God who knows the heart bore them witness, giving to them the Holy Spirit, as also to us; ⁹ and made no difference between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith.

⁵¹ And Jesus answering said to him: What wilt thou that I should do to thee? The blind man said to him: Lord, that I may receive sight.

³⁸ And Jesus turning, and beholding them following, says to them: What seek ye? They said to him: Rabbi (which interpreted means, Teacher), where dost thou abide? ³⁹ He says to them: Come, and ye shall see. They came and saw where he abode; and they abode with him that day. It was about the tenth hour.

⁴ Jesus therefore, knowing all the things that were coming upon him, went forth and said to them: Whom do ye seek? ⁵ They answered him: Jesus the Nazarene. Jesus says to them: I am he. And Judas also, his betrayer, was standing with them. ⁶ When therefore he said to them, I am he, they went backward, and fell to the ground. ⁷ Again therefore he asked them: Whom do ye seek? And they said: Jesus the Nazarene. ⁸ Jesus answered: I told you that I am he; if therefore ye seek me, let these go their way;

²⁹ Wherefore I also came without delay, when sent for. I ask therefore for what reason did ye send for me?

¹⁹ And Joseph her husband, being just, and not willing to expose her openly, desired to put her away privately.

²⁰ for Herod feared John, knowing that he was a just and holy man; and he observed him, and hearing him did many things, and heard him gladly.

³⁸ For whoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him will also the Son of man be ashamed, when he comes in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.

⁵⁰ And, behold, a man named Joseph, a counselor, a good and just man,

²⁴ Verily, verily, I say to you, he that hears my word, and believes him who sent me, has everlasting life, and comes not into judgment, but has passed out of death into life.

⁶³ It is the spirit that makes alive, the flesh profits nothing; the words which I have spoken to you are spirit, and are life.

⁶⁸ Simon Peter answered him: Lord, to whom shall we go? Thou hast words of eternal life.

²⁰ Verily, verily, I say to you, he that receives whomsoever I send receives me; and he that receives me receives him who sent me.

⁸ because the words which thou gayest me I have given to them, and they received them, and knew in truth that I came forth from thee, and believed that thou didst send me.

²⁰ And I pray not for these only, but also for those who believe on me through their word;

³ Therefore, brethren, look ye out among you seven men of good repute, full of the Holy Spirit and of wisdom, whom we will appoint over this business.

² devout, and one that feared God with all his house, giving many alms to the people, and praying to God always.

⁶ He lodges with one Simon a tanner, whose house is by the seaside.

¹⁴ who will speak to thee words, whereby thou shalt be saved, and all thy house.

¹⁵ having a hope toward God, which these themselves also look for, that there will be a resurrection both of the just and unjust.

¹⁷ For therein is revealed a righteousness of God, from faith to faith; as it is written: The just shall live by faith.

¹⁷ So then faith comes of hearing, and hearing by the word of God. ¹⁸ But I say, did they not hear? Yes verily; Their sound went forth into all the earth, And their words unto the ends of the world.

¹⁸ And all things are of God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ, and gave to us the ministry of reconciliation;

⁷ But he must also have a good testimony from those without, lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the Devil.

³⁸ Now, the just shall live by faith; but if he draw back, my soul has no pleasure in him.

² For in this the elders obtained a good report.

²³ to the general assembly and church of the first-born, who are enrolled in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just ones made perfect;

² that ye may be mindful of the words spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of the Lord and Savior by your apostles;

¹² To Demetrius, testimony has been borne by all, and by the truth itself; yea, we also bear witness, and thou knowest that our witness is true.

⁴² And it became known throughout all Joppa; and many believed on the Lord.

⁴⁵ And those of the circumcision who believed, as many as came with Peter, were astonished, that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Spirit.

²¹ for we provide for what is honorable, not only in the sight of the Lord, but also in the sight of men.

² Be not forgetful to entertain strangers; for thereby some entertained angels unawares.

⁹ hospitable to one another, without grudging;

⁹ And Jesus, passing on from thence, saw a man named Matthew, sitting at the place of receiving custom; and he says to him: Follow me. And he rose up and followed him. ¹⁰ And it came to pass that, as he reclined at table in the house, behold, many publicans and sinners came and reclined at table with Jesus and his disciples.

¹⁹ And he suffered him not; but says to him: Go into thy house, to thy friends, and announce to them how great things the Lord has done for thee, and had compassion on thee. ²⁰ And he departed, and began to publish in the Decapolis how great things Jesus did for him; and all wondered.

²⁹ And Levi made him a great feast in his own house; and there was a great company of publicans and of others who reclined at the table with them.

¹ IN the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. ² The same was in the beginning with God. ³ All things were made by him; and without him was nothing made that has been made.

⁴¹ He first finds his brother Simon, and says to him: We have found the Messiah, which is interpreted, Christ. ⁴² And he brought him to Jesus. Jesus, beholding him, said: Thou art Simon the son of Jonah; thou shalt be called Cephas, which is interpreted, Peter. ⁴³ On the morrow he would go forth into Galilee. And he finds Philip; and Jesus says to him: Follow me. ⁴⁴ Now Philip was from Bethsaida, of the city of Andrew and Peter. ⁴⁵ Philip finds Nathanael, and says to him: We have found him of whom Moses, in the law, and the prophets wrote, Jesus the son of Joseph, who is from Nazareth. ⁴⁶ And Nathanael said to him: Can any good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip says to him: Come and see. ⁴⁷ Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and says of him: Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile! ⁴⁸ Nathanael says to him: Whence knowest thou me? Jesus answered and said to him: Before Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig-tree, I saw thee. ⁴⁹ Nathanael answered: Rabbi; thou art the Son of God, thou art the King of Israel.

²⁸ The woman then left her water-pot, and went away into the city; and she says to the men: ²⁹ Come, see a man who told me all things that ever I did. Is this the Christ?

² And, behold, there came a leper and bowed down to him, saying: Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst cleanse me.

³³ And those in the ship came and worshiped him, saying: Of a truth, thou art the Son of God.

¹¹ And the multitudes, seeing what Paul did, lifted up their voices, saying in the speech of Lycaonia: The gods are come down to us in the likeness of men. ¹² And they called Barnabas, Jupiter; and Paul, Mercury, because he was the chief speaker. ¹³ And the priest of Jupiter, that was before the city, having brought oxen and garlands to the gates, would have offered sacrifice with the people.

¹⁰ And I fell before his feet to worship him. And he said to me: See thou do it not. I am a fellow-servant of thee and of thy brethren who have the testimony of Jesus; worship God. For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.

⁸ And I, John, am he who heard and saw these things. And when I heard and saw, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel, who showed me these things. ⁹ And he says to me: See thou do it not. I am a fellow-servant of thee and of thy brethren the prophets, and of those who keep the sayings of this book; worship God.

¹⁰ Then Jesus says to him: Get thee hence, Satan; for it is written: Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.

¹⁴ But the apostles, Barnabas and Paul, hearing of it, rent their clothes, and rushed forth to the multitude; crying out, ¹⁵ and saying: Sirs, why do ye these things? We also are men of like nature with you, bringing you glad tidings, that ye should turn from these vanities to the living God, who made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all things that are therein;

³ Let not any one deceive you in any manner; because [that day will not come], except there come first the falling away, and the man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; ⁴ he that opposes and exalts himself against all that is called God, or that is worshiped; so that he sits in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.

⁸ And all who dwell upon the earth will worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb which is slain, from the foundation of the world.

³⁵ Do ye not say, that there are yet four months, and then comes the harvest? Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes and look on the fields, that they are already white for harvest.

²⁴ And on the morrow after, they entered into Caesarea. And Cornelius was expecting them, having called together his kinsmen and near friends.

²⁷ And having come, and gathered the church together, they reported how great things God wrought with them, and that he opened to the Gentiles a door of faith.

⁹ For a great and effectual door is open to me, and there are many adversaries.

¹² And when I came to Troas to preach the good news of Christ, and a door was opened to me in the Lord,

³ at the same time praying also for us, that God would open to us a door for the word, to speak the mystery of Christ, for the sake of which I am also in bonds,

¹¹ The Pharisee stood, and prayed thus with himself: God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican.

⁹ The Samaritan woman therefore says to him: How is it that thou, being a Jew, askest drink of me, being a Samaritan woman? For Jews do not associate with Samaritans.

²⁷ And upon this came his disciples; and they marveled that he talked with the woman. Yet no one said: What seekest thou? or, Why talkest thou with her?

²⁸ Then they lead Jesus from Caiaphas into the Governor's palace; and it was early; and they themselves went not into the palace, that they might not be defiled, but might eat the passover.

¹⁴ But Peter said: Not so, Lord; for I never ate anything common or unclean. ¹⁵ And a voice came to him again, the second time: What God cleansed, call not thou common.

³⁴ And Peter opened his mouth, and said: Of a truth I perceive that God is not a respecter of persons; ³⁵ but in every nation he that fears him, and works righteousness, is acceptable to him.

² And when Peter went up to Jerusalem, they that were of the circumcision contended with him, ³ saying: Thou wentest in to men uncircumcised, and didst eat with them.

²¹ And he said to me: Depart; for I will send thee far hence to the Gentiles. ²² And they heard him unto this word, and then lifted up their voices, and said: Away with such a one from the earth; for it was not fit that he should live.

¹² For before certain ones came from James, he ate with the Gentiles; but when they came, he withdrew and separated himself, fearing those who were of the circumcision. ¹³ And the other Jews also dissembled with him, so that Barnabas also was carried away with their dissimulation. ¹⁴ But when I saw that they walk not uprightly according to the truth of the gospel, I said to Peter in the presence of all: If thou, being a Jew, livest after the manner of Gentiles and not that of Jews, how dost thou compel the Gentiles to become as Jews?

⁶ that the Gentiles are fellow-heirs, and of the same body, and partakers with us of the promise, in Christ Jesus, through the gospel; ⁷ whereof I was made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of God, which was given to me according to the working of his power.

¹⁹ While Peter was earnestly considering the vision, the Spirit said to him: Behold, men are seeking thee. ²⁰ But arise, and go down, and go with them, making no scruple; because I have sent them.

¹⁵ but sanctify Christ as Lord in your hearts; ready always to give an answer to every one that asks you a reason of the hope that is in you, with meekness and fear;

³ His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow;

⁶ And he says to them: Be not affrighted. Ye are seeking Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified. He is risen; he is not here. Behold the place where they laid him.

⁴ And it came to pass, that as they were much perplexed concerning this, behold two men stood by them in shining garments.

¹⁰ And while they were looking intently into heaven as he went, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel;

⁷ And when the angel who spoke to Cornelius was gone, he called two of his household servants, and a devout soldier of those who waited on him; ⁸ and having told them all these things, he sent them to Joppa. ⁹ On the morrow, as they were journeying, and drawing near to the city, Peter went up upon the house-top to pray, about the sixth hour.

²³ He called them in, therefore, and lodged them. And on the morrow Peter went forth with them, and certain brethren from Joppa went with him. ²⁴ And on the morrow after, they entered into Caesarea. And Cornelius was expecting them, having called together his kinsmen and near friends.

¹³ But the angel said to him: Fear not, Zachariah; for thy prayer was heard, and thy wife Elisabeth shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name John.

⁸ And when he took the book, the four animals, and the twenty-four elders, fell down before the Lamb, having each one a harp, and golden cups full of odors, which are the prayers of saints.

³ And another angel came and stood over the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given to him much incense, that he should give it to the prayers of all the saints, upon the golden altar which is before the throne. ⁴ And there went up the smoke of the incense to the prayers of the saints, out of the hand of the angel, before God.

⁴ Whoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, he is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

³⁰ But many first will be last, and last first.

¹⁵ Verily I say to you, whoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, shall not enter therein.

¹¹ These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness, and searched the Scriptures daily whether these things were so. ¹² Many of them therefore believed; and of honorable Grecian women and men, not a few.

²⁸ Be it known to you, therefore, that to the Gentiles the salvation of God was sent; they, moreover, will hear.

¹⁸ Let no one deceive himself. If any one seems to be wise among you in this world, let him become a fool, that he may become wise.

¹⁴ and my trial, which was in my flesh, ye despised not nor spurned, but received me as an angel of God, as Christ Jesus.

¹³ For this cause we also thank God without ceasing, that when ye received the word of God heard from us, ye received not the word of men, but, as it is in truth, the word of God, which also works in you that believe.

¹⁹ So that, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath;

²¹ Wherefore, putting off all filthiness and excess of wickedness, receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.

¹ LAYING aside therefore all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envyings, and all backbitings, ² as newborn babes, long for the spiritual, unadulterated milk, that ye thereby may grow unto salvation;

² And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying:

¹⁶ And they send out to him their disciples, with the Herodians, saying: Teacher, we know that thou art true, and teachest the way of God in truth; neither carest thou for any one, for thou regardest not the person of men.

²¹ And they asked him, saying: Teacher, we know that thou sayest and teachest rightly, and regardest not the person of any, but teachest the way of God truly.

³⁵ And Philip opened his mouth, and beginning from this Scripture, made known to him the good news of Jesus.

¹¹ For there is no respect of persons with God.

⁶ But from those reputed to be something,—whatever they were, it matters not to me, God accepts not man's person,—for to me those of reputation communicated nothing in addition.

⁹ And masters, do the same things to them, forbearing threatening; knowing that both their Master and yours is in heaven, and there is no respect of persons with him.

¹⁹ and for me, that utterance may be given to me, in the opening of my mouth with boldness, to make known the mystery of the gospel, ²⁰ for which I am an ambassador in bonds; that therein I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.

²⁵ For he that does wrong will receive that which he did wrongfully; and there is no respect of persons.

⁴ were ye not partial in yourselves, and become judges with evil thoughts?

⁹ But if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, being convicted by the law as transgressors.

¹⁷ And if ye call him Father, who without respect of persons judges according to each one's work, pass the time of your sojourning in fear;

²⁸ And the angel coming in to her, said: Hail, highly favored! The Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women.

¹³ (for not the hearers of law are just before God, but the doers of law shall be justified:

²⁵ For circumcision indeed profits, if thou keep the law; but if thou art a transgressor of law, thy circumcision has become uncircumcision. ²⁶ If then the uncircumcision keep the requirements of the law, shall not his uncircumcision be counted for circumcision? ²⁷ And shall not the uncircumcision that is by nature, if it fulfill the law, judge thee, who with the letter and circumcision art a transgressor of law? ²⁸ For he is not a Jew, who is one outwardly; nor is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh. ²⁹ But he is a Jew, who is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.

²² a righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ, unto all and upon all that believe; (for there is no difference;

²⁹ Is he not also of Gentiles? Yes, of Gentiles also; ³⁰ seeing that God is one, who will justify the circumcision by faith, and the uncircumcision through the faith.

¹² For there is no difference between Jew and Greek; for the same is Lord of all, rich toward all that call upon him; ¹³ for every one who shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

¹³ For by one Spirit we were all immersed into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether bond or free; and were all made to drink of one Spirit.

¹ HAVING therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from every pollution of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.

⁶ to the praise of the glory of his grace, which he freely bestowed on us in the beloved;

¹³ But now, in Christ Jesus, ye, who in time past were afar off, were made near by the blood of Christ. ¹⁴ For he is our peace, who made both one, and broke down the middle wall of partition; ¹⁵ having abolished in his flesh the enmity, the law of commandments contained in ordinances, that he might make the two one new man in himself, making peace; ¹⁶ and might reconcile both to God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby. ¹⁷ And he came and brought the good news of peace to you who were afar off, and to those who were near. ¹⁸ Because through him we both have the access in one Spirit to the Father.

⁶ that the Gentiles are fellow-heirs, and of the same body, and partakers with us of the promise, in Christ Jesus, through the gospel; ⁷ whereof I was made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of God, which was given to me according to the working of his power. ⁸ To me, who am less than the least of all the saints, was this grace given, to preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ;

²¹ submitting yourselves to one another in the fear of Christ;

³ For we are the circumcision, who worship by the Spirit of God, and glory in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh.

⁶ which is come to you, as also in all the world, and is bringing forth fruit and increasing also in you, since the day ye heard it, and knew the grace of God in truth;

²³ if indeed ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which ye heard, which was preached in the whole creation which is under heaven; of which I Paul was made a minister. ²⁴ Now I rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up that which is behind of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for his body, which is the church; ²⁵ of which I was made a minister, according to the dispensation of God which was given to me for you, to fulfill the word of God, ²⁶ the mystery which has been hidden from ages and from generations, but now has been manifested to his saints; ²⁷ to whom God willed to make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory;

⁴ By faith Abel offered to God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he received testimony that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts; and through it, being dead, he yet speaks. ⁵ By faith Enoch was translated, that he should not see death; and he was not found, because God translated him; for before his translation, he has had the testimony that he pleased God. ⁶ But without faith it is impossible to please him; for he who comes to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder to those who seek after him.

²⁹ If ye know that he is righteous, ye know that every one that does righteousness has been begotten of him.

⁶ But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.

²⁷ All things were delivered to me by my Father; and no one knows the Son but the Father; nor does any one know the Father but the Son, and he to whom the Son is pleased to reveal him.

⁴⁴ The Lord said to my Lord, Sit on my right hand, Till I put thine enemies under thy feet. ⁴⁵ If then David calls him Lord, how is he his son? ⁴⁶ And no one was able to answer him a word; nor durst any one from that day question him any more.

¹⁸ And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying: All power was given to me in heaven and on earth.

¹⁰ And the angel said to them: Fear not; for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all the people. ¹¹ For to you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. ¹² And this shall be to you the sign: Ye will find a babe wrapped in swathing bands, lying in a manger. ¹³ And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host, praising God and saying: ¹⁴ Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will among men.

⁴⁷ and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all the nations, beginning at Jerusalem.

³⁵ The Father loves the Son, and has given all things into his hand. ³⁶ He that believes on the Son has everlasting life; and he that believes not the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him.

²³ that all may honor the Son, as they honor the Father. He that honors not the Son, honors not the Father who sent him. ²⁴ Verily, verily, I say to you, he that hears my word, and believes him who sent me, has everlasting life, and comes not into judgment, but has passed out of death into life. ²⁵ Verily, verily, I say to you, an hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God; and they that hear shall live. ²⁶ For as the Father has life in himself, so he gave also to the Son to have life in himself. ²⁷ And he gave him authority to execute judgment also, because he is a son of man. ²⁸ Marvel not at this; for an hour is coming, in which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, ²⁹ and shall come forth; they that did good, to the resurrection of life, and they that did evil, to the resurrection of judgment.

³⁶ Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God made him, this Jesus whom ye crucified, both Lord and Christ.

³⁸ And Peter said to them: Repent, and be each of you immersed, upon the name of Jesus Christ, unto remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. ³⁹ For the promise is to you, and to your children, and to all those afar off, as many as the Lord our God shall have called.

²⁵ Ye are sons of the prophets, and of the covenant which God made with our fathers, saying to Abraham: And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed. ²⁶ Unto you first, God, having raised up his servant Jesus, sent him to bless you, in turning away every one of you from your iniquities.

³¹ Him, as a prince and a Savior, did God exalt to his right hand, to give repentance to Israel, and remission of sins.

¹⁹ Now they who were scattered abroad by the persecution that arose on account of Stephen, went as far as Phoenicia, and Cyprus, and Antioch, speaking the word to none but Jews.

³² And we declare to you glad tidings of the promise made to the fathers,

⁴⁶ Then Paul and Barnabas spoke boldly, and said: It was necessary that the word of God should first be spoken to you; but since ye thrust it from you, and judge yourselves not worthy of the eternal life, lo, we turn to the Gentiles.

¹¹ For the Scripture says: Whoever believes on him shall not be put to shame.

⁹ For to this end Christ died, and lived, that he might be Lord of both the dead and living.

²⁷ But when he says, All things are subjected, it is manifest that he is excepted, who subjected all things to him.

⁴⁷ The first man was of the earth, earthy; the second man is from heaven.

¹⁸ And all things are of God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ, and gave to us the ministry of reconciliation; ¹⁹ as that God was in Christ reconciling a world to himself, not reckoning to them their trespasses, and having committed to us the word of reconciliation. ²⁰ We are then ambassadors on behalf of Christ, as though God were beseeching by us; on behalf of Christ we pray: Be reconciled to God! ²¹ Him who knew not sin he made to be sin for us, that we might become God's righteousness in him.

²⁰ which he wrought in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his own right hand in the heavenly places, ²¹ far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come; ²² and subjected all things under his feet, and gave him to be head over all things to the church, ²³ which is his body, the fullness of him who fills all in all.

⁵ one Lord, one faith, one immersion, ⁶ one God and Father of all, who is over all, and through all, and in all. ⁷ But to each one of us the grace was given according to the measure of the gift of Christ.

¹¹ and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

¹⁵ who is the image of the invisible God, the first-born of every creature, ¹⁶ because in him were all things created, the things in the heavens, and the things on the earth, the visible and the invisible, whether thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers; all things have been created by him, and for him; ¹⁷ and he is before all things, and in him all things subsist. ¹⁸ And he is the head of the body, the church; who is the beginning, the first-born from the dead; that he may become in all things pre-eminent.

²⁰ and through him to reconcile all things to himself, having made peace through the blood of his cross; through him, whether the things on the earth, or the things in the heavens.

² in these last days spoke to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, by whom he also made the worlds;

⁶ But when he has again brought in the first-begotten into the world, he says And let all the angels of God worship him. ⁷ And of the angels he says: Who makes his angels winds, And his ministers a flame of fire; ⁸ but of the Son: Thy throne, O God, is forever and ever; A sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom; ⁹ Thou lovedst righteousness, and hatedst iniquity; Therefore God, thy God, anointed thee, With the oil of gladness, above thy fellows; ¹⁰ and: Thou, Lord, in the beginning, didst found the earth, And the heavens are the works of thy hands; ¹¹ They will perish, but thou remainest; And they all will become old, as does a garment, ¹² And as a vesture thou wilt fold them up, and they will be changed; But thou art the same, And thy years will not fail.

² to whom also Abraham apportioned a tenth of all; first indeed being interpreted King of righteousness, and then also King of Salem, which is, King of peace; ³ without father, without mother, without table of descent, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life, but likened to the Son of God, remains a priest continually.

²⁰ Now the God of peace, who brought up from the dead our Lord Jesus, the great Shepherd of the sheep in virtue of the blood of an eternal covenant,

²² who is on the right hand of God, having gone into heaven, angels and authorities and powers being made subject to him.

⁵ and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the first-born of the dead, and the Ruler of the kings of the earth. To him who loves us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,

¹⁸ and the living one; and I became dead, and behold I am alive forevermore; and I have the keys of death and of the underworld.

¹⁴ These will make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb will overcome them; because he is Lord of lords, and King of kings; and they who are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful.

¹⁶ And he has on his garment, and on his thigh, a name written: KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.

¹ In those days comes John the Immerser, preaching in the wilderness of Judaea, ² and saying: Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. ³ For this is he that was spoken of through the prophet Isaiah, saying: The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare the way of the Lord, Make straight his paths.

¹² And hearing that John was delivered up, he retired into Galilee. ¹³ And leaving Nazareth, he came and dwelt in Capernaum, which is by the sea, in the borders of Zebulun and Naphtali; ¹⁴ that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying: ¹⁵ The land of Zebulun, and the land of Naphtali, By the way of the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles, ¹⁶ The people that sat in darkness, saw great light, And to those sitting in the region and shadow of death light sprang up. ¹⁷ From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say: Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.

¹ THE beginning of the good news of Jesus Christ, Son of God, ² as it is written in Isaiah the prophet: Behold, I send forth my messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way; ³ the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare the way of the Lord, make straight his paths. ⁴ John came immersing in the wilderness, and preaching the immersion of repentance unto remission of sins. ⁵ And there went out to him all the country of Judaea, and all they of Jerusalem; and they were immersed by him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins.

¹⁴ And after John was delivered up, Jesus came into Galilee, publishing the good news of the kingdom of God, ¹⁵ and saying: The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent, and believe in the good news.

¹⁴ And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee; and there went out a report concerning him through all the surrounding country.

⁵ And they were the more violent, saying: He stirs up the people, teaching throughout all Judaea, beginning from Galilee, unto this place.

¹ WHEN therefore the Lord knew that the Pharisees heard, that Jesus made and immersed more disciples than John ² (though Jesus himself immersed not, but his disciples), ³ he left Judaea, and departed again into Galilee.

²² beginning from John's immersion, unto the day when he was taken up from us, must one be made a witness with us of his resurrection.

²² Men of Israel, hear these words! Jesus the Nazarene, a man accredited to you from God by miracles, and wonders, and signs, which God wrought by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves know;

²⁴ John having first preached, before his entrance, the immersion of repentance to all the people of Israel. ²⁵ Now as John was finishing his course, he said: Whom do ye suppose me to be? I am not he. But, behold, there comes one after me, the sandal of whose feet I am not worthy to loose.

²⁶ For the king knows well concerning these things, to whom also I speak boldly; for I am persuaded that none of these things are hidden from him; for this has not been done in a corner.

²² But we desire to hear from thee what thou thinkest; for concerning this sect, we know that everywhere it is spoken against.

²³ And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the good news of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every infirmity among the people. ²⁴ And his fame went forth into all Syria; and they brought to him all that were sick, taken with divers diseases and torments, and possessed with demons, and lunatic, and palsied; and he healed them. ²⁵ And great multitudes followed him from Galilee, and Decapolis, and Jerusalem, and Judaea, and from beyond the Jordan.

³⁵ And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the good news of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every infirmity.

¹⁵ But Jesus, knowing it, withdrew from thence; and great multitudes followed him, and he healed them all.

²⁸ But if I through the Spirit of God cast out the demons, then is the kingdom of God come near to you.

²¹ And Jesus, going forth from thence, withdrew into the region of Tyre and Sidon. ²² And behold, a woman of Canaan, coming out from those borders, cried to him, saying: Have mercy on me, O Lord, Son of David; my daughter is grievously possessed with a demon. ²³ But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying: Dismiss her; because she cries after us. ²⁴ But he answering said: I was not sent except to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. ²⁵ But she came and bowed down to him, saying: Lord, help me. ²⁶ But he answering said: It is not good to take the children's bread, and cast it to the dogs. ²⁷ And she said: Yea, Lord; for the dogs also eat of the crumbs that fall from their masters' table. ²⁸ Then Jesus answering said to her: O woman, great is thy faith; be it done to thee as thou wilt. And her daughter was healed from that hour. ²⁹ And departing from thence, Jesus came near to the sea of Galilee; and going up into the mountain, he sat down there. ³⁰ And great multitudes came to him, having with them lame, blind dumb, maimed, and many others, and laid them down at his feet, and he healed them; ³¹ so that the multitudes wondered, when they saw the dumb speaking, the maimed whole, the lame walking, and the blind seeing; and they glorified the God of Israel.

³⁸ And he says to them: Let us go elsewhere, into the neighboring towns, that I may preach there also; for, for this I came forth. ³⁹ And he was preaching in their synagogues, throughout all Galilee, and casting out the demons.

⁷ And Jesus withdrew with his disciples to the sea. And a great multitude from Galilee followed; and from Judaea, ⁸ and from Jerusalem, and from Idumea, and from beyond the Jordan, and they about Tyre and Sidon, a great multitude, hearing what great things he did, came to him. ⁹ And he spoke to his disciples, that a small ship should wait on him because of the multitude, that they might not throng him. ¹⁰ For he healed many, so that they pressed upon him to touch him, as many as had plagues. ¹¹ And the unclean spirits, when they saw him, fell down before him, and cried, saying: Thou art the Son of God.

¹³ And immediately Jesus gave them leave. And coming out, the unclean spirits entered into the swine. And the herd rushed down the steep into the sea, about two thousand, and were choked in the sea. ¹⁴ And they who fed them fled, and reported it in the city and in the country. And they came to see what it was that was done. ¹⁵ And they come to Jesus, and see him who was possessed with demons, sitting, clothed and in his right mind, him who had the legion, and they were afraid.

⁶ And he marveled because of their unbelief. And he went about the surrounding villages, teaching.

⁵⁴ And when they had come out of the ship, immediately recognizing him ⁵⁵ they ran through all that region, and began to carry about on beds those who were sick, where they heard he was. ⁵⁶ And wherever he entered, into villages, or cities, or fields, they laid the sick in the marketplaces, and besought him that they might touch if it were but the fringe of his garment. And as many as touched him were made whole.

²⁹ And he said to her: For this saying go thy way; the demon has gone out of thy daughter. ³⁰ And departing to her house, she found the little child laid on the bed, and the demon gone out.

²² and the Holy Spirit descended in a bodily shape as a dove upon him; and there came a voice out of heaven: Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased.

¹⁸ The Spirit of the Lord is upon me; Because he anointed me to publish good tidings to the poor; He has sent me to proclaim deliverance to the captives, And recovering of sight to the blind, To send the oppressed away free,

³³ And in the synagogue there was a man having a spirit of an unclean demon; and he cried out with a loud voice, ³⁴ saying: Ah! what have we to do with thee, Jesus of Nazareth? Didst thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art, the Holy One of God. ³⁵ And Jesus rebuked him, saying: Hold thy peace, and come out from him. And the demon throwing him in the midst came out from him, doing him no harm. ³⁶ And amazement came on all; and they spoke with one another, saying: What is this word, that with authority and power he commands the unclean spirits, and they come out?

¹⁰ And they who were sent, returning to the house, found the servant whole that had been sick. ¹¹ And it came to pass the day after, that he went into a city called Nain; and many of his disciples went with him, and a great multitude. ¹² And as he came near to the gate of the city, behold, a dead man was carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow; and a great multitude of the city was with her. ¹³ And seeing her, the Lord had compassion on her, and said to her: Weep not. ¹⁴ And he came and touched the bier; and they who bore it stood still. And he said: Young man, I say to thee, arise. ¹⁵ And the dead sat up, and began to speak. And he gave him to his mother. ¹⁶ And fear seized on all; and they glorified God, saying: A great prophet has arisen among us; and, God has visited his people. ¹⁷ And this report went forth in all Judaea concerning him, and in all the country around.

²¹ And in that very hour he cured many, of diseases and plagues, and evil spirits; and on many blind he bestowed sight. ²² And answering he said to them: Go, and report to John what ye saw and heard; that the blind receive sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, to the poor good tidings are published. ²³ And happy is he, whoever shall not be offended at me.

⁴² And while he was yet coming, the demon threw him down, and tore him. And Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the child, and gave him back to his father.

⁵⁶ And they went to another village.

² The same came to him by night, and said to him: Rabbi, we know that thou hast come a teacher from God; for no one can do these signs which thou doest, except God be with him.

³⁴ For he whom God sent forth speaks the words of God; for he gives not the Spirit by measure.

²⁷ Work not for the food that perishes, but for the food that endures unto everlasting life, which the Son of man will give to you; for him the Father, God, has sealed,

³² Jesus answered them: Many good works have I showed you from my Father; for which of those works do ye stone me?

³⁶ say ye of him, whom the Father sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest, because I said, I am the Son of God? ³⁷ If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not. ³⁸ But if I do, though ye believe not me, believe the works; that ye may learn and know, that the Father is in me, and I in the Father.

³² Behold, an hour is coming, and has come, that ye will be scattered, each one to his own, and will leave me alone; and I am not alone, because the Father is with me.

²⁶ The kings of the earth stood near, And the rulers assembled together, Against the Lord, and against his Christ. ²⁷ For in truth there assembled in this city, against thy holy servant Jesus, whom thou didst anoint, both Herod, and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles, and the peoples of Israel,

⁹ Thou lovedst righteousness, and hatedst iniquity; Therefore God, thy God, anointed thee, With the oil of gladness, above thy fellows;

¹⁴ Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself in like manner took part in the same; that through death he might destroy him who had the power of death, that is, the Devil; ¹⁵ and might deliver those who, through fear of death, were all their lifetime subject to bondage.

⁸ Be sober, be watchful. Your adversary the Devil, as a roaring lion, walks about, seeking whom he may devour;

⁸ He that commits sin is of the Devil; because the Devil sins from the beginning. To this end the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the Devil.

² as they, who from the beginning were eyewitnesses and ministers of the word, delivered them to us;

⁴⁸ Ye are witnesses of these things.

²⁷ And ye also shall bear witness, because ye are with me from the beginning.

⁸ But ye shall receive power, when the Holy Spirit is come upon you; and ye shall be my witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and Samaria, and unto the utmost part of the earth.

²³ this man, delivered up according to the established counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye slew, crucifying him by the hand of lawless ones; ²⁴ whom God raised up, having loosed the pains of death; because it was not possible that he should be held by it.

³² This Jesus God raised up, whereof we all are witnesses.

¹⁴ But ye denied the Holy and Just, and demanded that a murderer should be granted to you. ¹⁵ But the Author of life ye killed; whom God raised from the dead, whereof we are witnesses.

¹⁰ be it known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, by him does this man stand here before you whole.

³⁰ The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom ye slew, hanging him on a tree. ³¹ Him, as a prince and a Savior, did God exalt to his right hand, to give repentance to Israel, and remission of sins. ³² And we are his witnesses of these things, and the Holy Spirit also, which God gave to those who obey him.

⁵² Which of the prophets did not your fathers persecute? And they slew those who announced beforehand concerning the coming of the Just One; of whom ye have now become the betrayers and murderers;

⁴¹ not to all the people, but to witnesses before appointed by God, to us, who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead.

²⁷ For they who dwell at Jerusalem, and their rulers, not knowing him, nor the voices of the prophets which are read every sabbath day, fulfilled them in condemning him. ²⁸ And though they found no cause of death, they demanded of Pilate that he should be slain. ²⁹ And when they had fulfilled all the things written of him, they took him down from the tree, and laid him in a tomb.

³¹ And he was seen for many days by those who came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are now his witnesses unto the people.

¹³ Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us; because it is written: Cursed is every one that is hanged on a tree;

²⁴ who himself bore our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, having died to our sins, should live to righteousness; by whose stripes ye were healed.

¹ AND late in the sabbath, as it was dawning into the first day of the week, came Mary the Magdalene and the other Mary to view the sepulchre. ² And behold, there was a great earthquake. For an angel of the Lord, descending out of heaven, came and rolled away the stone, and sat upon it.

²⁴ whom God raised up, having loosed the pains of death; because it was not possible that he should be held by it.

³⁰ But God raised him from the dead. ³¹ And he was seen for many days by those who came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are now his witnesses unto the people.

³¹ Because he fixed a day, in which he will judge the world in righteousness, by the man whom he appointed, having given assurance to all by raising him from the dead.

⁴ who was declared to be the Son of God with power according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead, Jesus Christ our Lord;

²⁴ but for ours also, to whom it shall be reckoned, if we believe on him who raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead; ²⁵ who was delivered up for our offenses, and was raised for our justification.

⁴ We were buried therefore with him by the immersion into his death; that as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, so we also should walk in newness of life. ⁵ For if we have become united with the likeness of his death, we shall be also with that of his resurrection, ⁶ knowing this, that our old man was crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, in order that we should no longer be in bondage to sin. ⁷ For he that died has been justified from sin. ⁸ And if we died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him; ⁹ knowing that Christ, being raised from the dead, dies no more; death has dominion over him no more. ¹⁰ For in that he died, he died to sin once; but in that he lives, he lives to God. ¹¹ So also reckon ye yourselves to be dead indeed to sin, but alive to God through Jesus Christ.

¹¹ And if the Spirit of him who raised up Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised up Christ from the dead will also quicken your mortal bodies, because of his Spirit that dwells in you.

³ For I delivered to you first of all what I also received, that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures; ⁴ and that he was buried, and that he has risen on the third day according to the Scriptures;

¹² Now if Christ is preached that he has risen from the dead, how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead? ¹³ But if there is no resurrection of the dead, then neither has Christ risen; ¹⁴ and if Christ has not risen, then is our preaching vain, and vain also your faith. ¹⁵ And we are also found false witnesses of God; because we testified of God, that he raised up Christ; whom he raised not, if it be so that the dead rise not. ¹⁶ For if the dead rise not, neither has Christ risen; ¹⁷ and if Christ has not risen, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins. ¹⁸ Then also they who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished. ¹⁹ If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable. ²⁰ But now Christ has risen from the dead, the first-fruits of those who sleep.

¹⁴ knowing that he who raised up the Lord Jesus will raise up us also with Jesus, and will present us with you.

²¹ who through him believe on God, who raised him from the dead, and gave him glory; so that your faith and hope are on God.

³⁰ And it came to pass, that as he was reclining at table with them, he took bread, and blessed it, and breaking, gave to them.

⁴¹ And while they yet believed not for joy, and wondered, he said to them: Have ye here anything to eat? ⁴² And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish, and of a honeycomb. ⁴³ And he took, and ate it before them.

¹⁷ the Spirit of truth, whom the world can not receive, because it sees him not, neither knows him; but ye know him, because he abides with you, and shall be in you.

²² Judas says to him (not Iscariot): Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself to us, and not to the world?

¹⁶ Ye did not choose me, but I chose you, and appointed you that ye may go and bear fruit, and that your fruit may remain; that whatever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.

¹ AND on the first day of the week Mary the Magdalene comes early, while it is yet dark, to the sepulchre, and sees the stone taken away out of the sepulchre. ² She runs therefore and comes to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple, whom Jesus loved, and says to them: They took away the Lord out of the sepulchre, and we know not where they laid him. ³ Peter therefore went forth, and the other disciple, and they went to the sepulchre. ⁴ And the two ran together; and the other disciple outran Peter, and came first to the sepulchre. ⁵ And stooping down he sees the linen cloths lying; yet he went not in. ⁶ Then comes Simon Peter following him; and he went into the sepulchre, and sees the linen cloths lying, ⁷ and the napkin that was about his head not lying with the linen cloths, but wrapped together in a place by itself. ⁸ Then therefore the other disciple, who came first to the sepulchre, went in also; and he saw, and believed. ⁹ For not even yet did they know the scripture, that he must rise from the dead. ¹⁰ The disciples therefore went away again to their own home. ¹¹ And Mary was standing by the sepulchre without, weeping. So, as she wept, she stooped clown into the sepulchre, ¹² and beholds two angels in white, sitting the one at the head and the other at the feet, where the body of Jesus lay. ¹³ And they say to her: Woman, why weepest thou? She says to them: Because they took away my Lord, and I know not where they laid him. ¹⁴ Having said this, she turned back and beholds Jesus standing, and knew not that it was Jesus. ¹⁵ Jesus says to her: Woman, why weepest thou? Whom dost thou seek? She, supposing that it was the gardener, says to him: Sir, if thou didst bear him hence, tell me where thou laidest him, and I will take him away. ¹⁶ Jesus says to her: Mary! Turning, she says to him in Hebrew: Rabboni! (which is to say, Teacher!) ¹⁷ Jesus says to her: Touch me not; for I have not yet ascended to my Father; but go to my brethren, and say to them: I ascend to my Father and your Father, and my God and your God. ¹⁸ Mary the Magdalene comes bringing word to the disciples, that she has seen the Lord, and that he spoke these things to her. ¹⁹ When therefore it was evening on that day, the first day of the week, the doors having been shut, where the disciples were assembled, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst; and he says to them: Peace be to you. ²⁰ And having said this, he showed them his hands and his side. The disciples rejoiced therefore, when they saw the Lord. ²¹ Jesus therefore said to them again: Peace be to you. As the Father has sent me, I also send you.

¹³ Jesus comes, and takes the bread and gives to them, and the fish likewise.

² until the day when he was taken up, after he had given commandment, through the Holy Spirit, to the apostles whom he chose; ³ to whom also he showed himself living, after he had suffered, by many infallible proofs, during forty days appearing to them, and speaking the things concerning the kingdom of God.

³⁹ And we are witnesses of all things which he did both in the country of the Jews, and in Jerusalem; whom they slew, hanging him on a tree.

³¹ And when the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the angels with him, then will he sit on his throne of glory. ³² And before him shall be gathered all the nations; and he will divide them one from another, as the shepherd divides the sheep from the goats. ³³ And he will set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left. ³⁴ Then will the King say to those on his right hand: Come, blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. ³⁵ For I was hungry, and ye gave me to eat; I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink; I was a stranger and ye took me in, ³⁶ naked and ye clothed me; I was sick, and ye visited me; I was in prison, and ye came to me. ³⁷ Then will the righteous answer him, saying: Lord, when saw we thee hungering and fed thee, or thirsting and gave thee drink? ³⁸ And when saw we thee a stranger and took thee in, or naked and clothed thee? ³⁹ And when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came to thee? ⁴⁰ And the King will answer and say to them: Verily I say to you, inasmuch as ye did it to one of the least of these my brethren, ye did it to me. ⁴¹ Then will he say also to those on the left hand: Depart from me, accursed, into the everlasting fire; prepared for the Devil and his angels. ⁴² For I was hungry, and ye did not give me to eat; I was thirsty, and ye did not give me drink; ⁴³ I was a stranger, and ye did not take me in; naked, and ye did not clothe me; sick, and in prison, and ye did not visit me. ⁴⁴ Then will they also answer, saying: Lord, when saw we thee hungering, or thirsting, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister to thee? ⁴⁵ Then will he answer them, saying: Verily I say to you, inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me. ⁴⁶ And these shall go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous into everlasting life.

¹⁹ Go therefore, and disciple all the nations, immersing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit; ²⁰ teaching them to observe all things, whatever I commanded you. And, behold, I am with you alway, unto the end of the world.

¹⁵ And he said to them: Go into all the world, and preach the good news to every creature. ¹⁶ He that believes and is immersed shall be saved; but he that believes not shall be condemned.

⁴⁷ and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all the nations, beginning at Jerusalem. ⁴⁸ Ye are witnesses of these things.

²² For neither does the Father judge any one; but all judgment he has given to the Son;

²¹ Peter seeing him says to Jesus: Lord, and what shall this man do? ²² Jesus says to him: If I will that he remain till I come, what is it to thee? Do thou follow me.

² until the day when he was taken up, after he had given commandment, through the Holy Spirit, to the apostles whom he chose;

¹⁹ But Peter and John answering said to them: Whether it is right in the sight of God to hearken to you rather than to God, judge ye. ²⁰ For we can not but speak the things which we saw and heard.

²⁰ Go, stand and speak in the temple to the people all the words of this life.

²⁹ And Peter answering, and the apostles, said: We ought to obey God rather than men.

⁹ For to this end Christ died, and lived, that he might be Lord of both the dead and living. ¹⁰ But why dost thou judge thy brother? Or why dost thou despise thy brother? For we shall all stand before the judgment-seat of God.

¹⁰ For we must all be made manifest before the judgment-seat of Christ; that each one may receive the things done in the body, according to the things which he did, whether good or bad.

¹ I CHARGE thee before God, and Christ Jesus who will judge the living and the dead, and by his appearing and his kingdom,

⁸ henceforth there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will give me in that day; and not to me only, but also to all those who have loved his appearing.

⁵ who shall give account to him who is ready to judge the living and the dead.

⁷ Behold, he comes amidst the clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they who pierced him; and all the tribes of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.

¹¹ And I saw a great white throne, and him who sat upon it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away, and no place was found for them. ¹² And I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne. And books were opened; and another book was opened, which is [the book] of life; and the dead were judged out of the things written in the books, according to their works. ¹³ And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and the underworld gave up the dead which were in them; and they were judged each one according to their works. ¹⁴ And death and the underworld were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire. ¹⁵ And if any one was not found written in the book of life, he was cast into the lake of fire.

¹² Behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give to each one according as his work is.

¹⁶ He that believes and is immersed shall be saved; but he that believes not shall be condemned.

²⁵ Then he said to them: O foolish, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken! ²⁶ Was it not necessary, that the Christ should suffer these things, and enter into his glory? ²⁷ And beginning from Moses, and all the prophets, he explained to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning himself.

⁴⁴ And he said to them: These are my words which I spoke to you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which are written in the law of Moses, and the prophets, and psalms, concerning me. ⁴⁵ Then he opened their understanding, that they might understand the Scriptures. ⁴⁶ And he said to them: Thus it is written, that the Christ should suffer, and should rise from the dead on the third day;

⁴⁵ Philip finds Nathanael, and says to him: We have found him of whom Moses, in the law, and the prophets wrote, Jesus the son of Joseph, who is from Nazareth.

¹⁴ And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of man be lifted up; ¹⁵ that every one who believes on him may have everlasting life. ¹⁶ For God so loved the world, that he gave his only-begotten Son, that whoever believes on him, should not perish, but may have everlasting life. ¹⁷ For God sent not his Son into the world to judge the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

³⁹ Search the Scriptures; because in them ye think ye have eternal life, and these are they that testify of me; ⁴⁰ and ye will not come to me, that ye may have life.

³¹ But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing ye may have life in his name.

³⁸ And Peter said to them: Repent, and be each of you immersed, upon the name of Jesus Christ, unto remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

¹⁶ And his name, upon the faith in his name, made this man strong, whom ye see and know; and the faith, which is through Him, gave him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all.

¹⁸ But thus God fulfilled what he before announced by the mouth of all his prophets, that the Christ should suffer.

¹⁰ be it known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, by him does this man stand here before you whole. ¹¹ He is the stone that was set at naught by you the builders, which is become the head of the corner. ¹² And there is salvation in no other; for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, in which we must be saved.

³⁸ Be it known to you therefore, men, brethren, that remission of sins through this man is announced to you; ³⁹ and by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye were not able to be justified by the law of Moses.

¹⁸ to open their eyes, that they may turn from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may obtain forgiveness of sins, and an inheritance among the sanctified, by faith in me.

²² Having therefore obtained help from God, I continue unto this day, witnessing both to small and great, saying nothing except those things which the prophets and Moses said should come;

¹ BEING justified therefore by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ;

²³ For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life, in Jesus Christ our Lord.

¹ THERE is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus.

³⁴ who is he that condemns? Christ is he that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is also at the right hand of God, who also intercedes for us.

¹¹ For the Scripture says: Whoever believes on him shall not be put to shame.

²² But the Scripture shut up all under sin, that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe.

⁷ in whom we have the redemption through his blood, the remission of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace,

¹⁴ in whom we have the redemption, the remission of our sins;

² And suddenly there came a sound out of heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. ³ And there appeared to them tongues as of fire, distributed among them; and it sat upon each of them. ⁴ And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

³¹ And when they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled; and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they spoke the word of God with boldness.

¹⁵ who, having come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Spirit; ¹⁶ for he had not yet fallen upon any of them; but they had only been immersed in the name of the Lord Jesus. ¹⁷ Then they laid their hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit.

¹⁵ And as I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell on them, as also on us at the beginning;

⁸ And God who knows the heart bore them witness, giving to them the Holy Spirit, as also to us;

⁶ And Paul having laid his hands upon them, the Holy Spirit came on them; and they spoke with tongues, and prophesied.

³³ Being therefore exalted to the right hand of God, and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, he poured forth this, which ye now see and hear.

²³ He called them in, therefore, and lodged them. And on the morrow Peter went forth with them, and certain brethren from Joppa went with him.

³ saying: Thou wentest in to men uncircumcised, and didst eat with them.

¹⁵ And as I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell on them, as also on us at the beginning; ¹⁶ and I remembered the word of the Lord, how he said: John indeed immersed in water, but ye shall be immersed in the Holy Spirit. ¹⁷ If therefore God gave the like gift to them as to us, having believed on the Lord Jesus Christ, who then was I, that I could withstand God? ¹⁸ When they heard these things, they held their peace, and glorified God, saying: So then, to the Gentiles also God gave repentance unto life.

¹³ Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us; because it is written: Cursed is every one that is hanged on a tree; ¹⁴ that unto the Gentiles the blessing of Abraham might come in Christ Jesus, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.

¹¹ Wherefore remember, that in time past ye, the Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called Circumcision, in the flesh, made by hand,—

⁵ which in other generations was not made known to the sons of men, as it has now been revealed to his holy apostles and prophets in the Spirit;

¹³ And you also, being dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, he made alive together with him, graciously forgiving us all our trespasses; ¹⁴ blotting out the handwriting in ordinances that was against us, which was opposed to us, and he has taken it out of the way, nailing it to the cross;

¹⁷ And these signs shall accompany those who have believed; in my name they shall cast out demons; they shall speak with new tongues;

⁴ And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

¹¹ Cretes and Arabians, hear them speak in our tongues the wonderful works of God?

²⁰ Brethren, be not children in your understandings; but in malice be as children, but in your understandings be men. ²¹ In the law it is written: For with men of other tongues, and with strange lips, I will speak to this people; And not even so will they hearken to me, saith the Lord. ²² So that the tongues are for a sign, not to those who believe, but to the unbelieving; but prophesying is not for the unbelieving, but for those who believe. ²³ If therefore the whole church is come together into one place, and all speak with tongues, and there come in those who are unlearned, or unbelievers, will they not say that ye are mad? ²⁴ But if all prophesy, and there come in one that is an unbeliever, or unlearned, he is convicted by all, he is judged by all. ²⁵ The secrets of his heart are made manifest; and so falling on his face he will worship God, reporting that God is in truth among you.

¹² But when they believed Philip publishing the good news concerning the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, they were immersed, both men and women.

³⁶ And as they went along the way, they came to a certain water. And the eunuch said: See, here is water; what hinders that I should be immersed?

¹⁵ And as I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell on them, as also on us at the beginning; ¹⁶ and I remembered the word of the Lord, how he said: John indeed immersed in water, but ye shall be immersed in the Holy Spirit. ¹⁷ If therefore God gave the like gift to them as to us, having believed on the Lord Jesus Christ, who then was I, that I could withstand God?

¹¹ And he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had while in uncircumcision; that he might be father of all that believe while in uncircumcision, that the righteousness might be reckoned to them also,

¹² For there is no difference between Jew and Greek; for the same is Lord of all, rich toward all that call upon him;

² (though Jesus himself immersed not, but his disciples),

⁴⁰ When therefore the Samaritans came to him, they besought him to remain with them. And he remained there two days.

¹⁶ for he had not yet fallen upon any of them; but they had only been immersed in the name of the Lord Jesus.

¹⁵ And when she was immersed and her household, she besought us, saying: If ye have judged me to be a believer in the Lord, come into my house, and abide. And she constrained us.

⁵ And when they heard this, they were immersed in the name of the Lord Jesus.

¹³ Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were ye immersed in the name of Paul? ¹⁴ I thank God that I immersed none of you, but Crispus and Gaius; ¹⁵ that no one may say that I immersed in my own name. ¹⁶ And I immersed also the household of Stephanas; besides, I know not whether I immersed any other. ¹⁷ For Christ did not send me to immerse, but to preach the glad tidings; not with wisdom of speech, lest the cross of Christ should be made of no effect.

²⁷ For all ye who were immersed unto Christ, did put on Christ.
