²⁰ Is Ephraim my dear son? Is he a darling child? For as often as I speak against him, I do earnestly remember him still. Therefore my heart yearns for him. I will surely have mercy upon him, says LORD.

³² For though he causes grief, yet he will have compassion according to the multitude of his loving kindnesses. ³³ For he does not afflict willingly, nor grieve the sons of men.

² I feel compassion toward the multitude, because they continue with me now three days, and do not have what they might eat.

¹⁹ And having summoned a certain two of his disciples, John sent them to Jesus, saying, Are thou he who comes, or do we look for another man?

¹ Now after these things the Lord also appointed seventy other men, and sent them by twos before his face into every city and place where he himself was going to come.

¹⁵ But the Lord therefore answered him and said, Ye hypocrites, does not each of you on the sabbath loose his ox or his donkey from the stall, and after leading away, give to drink?

⁵ And the apostles said to the Lord, Increase faith for us.

⁶¹ And having turned, the Lord looked on Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how he said to him, Before a cock sounds thou will deny me thrice.

³⁴ and those who were with them who said, The Lord really was raised, and was seen by Simon.

² And Mary was the woman who anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.

³³ When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews who gathered with her, weeping, he groaned in the spirit, and was himself troubled. ³⁴ And he said, Where have ye laid him? They said to him, Lord, come and see. ³⁵ Jesus wept.

¹³ And those men say to her, Woman, why weep thou? She says to them, Because they have taken away my Lord, and I know not where they have laid him.

¹⁵ Jesus says to her, Woman, why weep thou? Whom seek thou? That woman, supposing that he is the gardener, says to him, Sir, if thou have taken him, tell me where thou have laid him, and I will take him away.

³⁰ and those who weep, as not weeping, and those who rejoice, as not rejoicing, and those who buy, as not possessing,

¹³ But we do not want you to be ignorant, brothers, about those who are asleep, so that ye may not grieve, as also the others who have no hope.

¹⁷ Therefore he was obligated to be made like his brothers in accordance with all things, so that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in things toward God, in order to make reconciliation for the sins of the people.

¹⁵ For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but who was tempted in all things in the same way, without sin.

²¹ And he stretched himself upon the child three times, and cried to LORD, and said, O LORD my God, I pray thee, let this child's soul come into him again.

¹² so man lies down and does not rise. Till the heavens be no more, they shall not awake, nor be roused out of their sleep.

¹⁴ If a man dies, shall he live again? All the days of my warfare I would wait till my release should come.

¹⁹ Thy dead shall live. My dead bodies shall arise. Awake and sing, ye who dwell in the dust, for thy dew is as the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast forth the dead.

³ And he said to me, Son of man, can these bones live? And I answered, O lord LORD, thou know. ⁴ Again he said to me, Prophesy over these bones, and say to them, O ye dry bones, hear the word of LORD. ⁵ Thus says the lord LORD to these bones: Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and ye shall live. ⁶ And I will lay sinews upon you, and will bring up flesh upon you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and ye shall live. And ye shall know that I am LORD. ⁷ So I prophesied as I was commanded. And as I prophesied, there was a noise, and, behold, an earthquake, and the bones came together, bone to its bone. ⁸ And I beheld, and, lo, there were sinews upon them, and flesh came up, and skin covered them above, but there was no breath in them. ⁹ Then he said to me, Prophesy to the wind. Prophesy, son of man, and say to the wind, Thus says the lord LORD: Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe upon these slain, that they may live. ¹⁰ So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived, and stood up upon their feet, an exceedingly great army.

⁵⁴ But having sent them all away outside, having taken her by the hand, he called out, saying, Girl, awake. ⁵⁵ And her spirit returned, and she rose up immediately. And he commanded to give her to eat.

²¹ For as the Father raises up the dead and makes alive, so also the Son makes alive whom he will.

²⁵ Truly, truly, I say to you, that an hour comes, and now is, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear will live.

²⁸ Marvel not at this, because an hour comes in which all those in the sepulchers will hear his voice, ²⁹ and will come forth, those who have done right to a resurrection of life, and those who have practiced wrong to a resurrection of judgment.

²⁵ Jesus said to her, I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me, even though he died, he will live.

⁴³ And having said these things, he cried out with a great voice, Lazarus, come out. ⁴⁴ And the man who died came forth, wrapped hands and feet with grave-clothes, and his face had been wrapped around with a face cloth. Jesus says to them, Loose him, and allow him to go.

⁴⁰ But Peter, having sent them all out, having knelt down, he prayed. And having turned to the body, he said, Tabitha, arise. And the woman opened her eyes. And when she saw Peter, she sat up. ⁴¹ And having given her a hand, he raised her up. And after calling the sanctified and the widows, he presented her alive.

¹⁷ (as it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations), before him whom he believed, of God who makes the dead alive, and who calls things not existing, as existing.

¹² For it is disgusting even to speak of the things happening by them secretly.

²³ And Elijah took the child, and brought him down out of the chamber into the house, and delivered him to his mother. And Elijah said, See, thy son lives. ²⁴ And the woman said to Elijah, Now I know that thou are a man of God, and that the word of LORD in thy mouth is truth.

³² And when Elisha came into the house, behold, the child was dead, and laid upon his bed. ³³ He went in therefore, and shut the door upon the two of them, and prayed to LORD. ³⁴ And he went up, and lay upon the child, and put his mouth upon his mouth, and his eyes upon his eyes, and his hands upon his hands. And he stretched himself upon him, and the flesh of the child grew warm. ³⁵ Then he returned, and walked in the house once to and fro, and went up, and stretched himself upon him. And the child sneezed seven times, and the child opened his eyes. ³⁶ And he called Gehazi, and said, Call this Shunammite. So he called her. And when she came in to him, he said, Take up thy son. ³⁷ Then she went in, and fell at his feet, and bowed herself to the ground. And she took up her son, and went out.

²¹ And it came to pass, as they were burying a man, that, behold, they spied a band, and they cast the man into the sepulcher of Elisha. And as soon as the man touched the bones of Elisha, he revived, and stood up on his feet.

³¹ And the people believed. And when they heard that LORD had visited the sons of Israel, and that he had seen their affliction, then they bowed their heads and worshiped.

⁹ Thou visit the earth, and water it; thou greatly enrich it. The river of God is full of water. Thou provide them grain when thou have so prepared the earth.

⁴ Remember me, O LORD, with the favor that thou bear to thy people. O visit me with thy salvation, ⁵ that I may see the prosperity of thy chosen, that I may rejoice in the gladness of thy nation, that I may glory with thine inheritance.

⁹ And this city shall be to me for a name of joy, for a praise and for a glory, before all the nations of the earth, which shall hear all the good that I do to them, and shall fear and tremble for all the good and for all the peace that I procure to it.

⁸ But when the multitudes saw it, they marveled, and glorified God, who gave such authority to men.

³¹ so as for the multitudes to marvel seeing the mute speaking, the maimed healthy, and the lame walking, and the blind seeing. And they glorified the God of Israel.

¹¹ And the multitudes said, This is Jesus, the prophet from Nazareth of Galilee.

⁸ And after coming out quickly from the sepulcher with fear and great joy, they ran to notify his disciples.

⁶⁵ And fear developed in all who dwell around them. And all these sayings were talked about in the entire hill country of Judea.

⁶⁸ Blessed is the Lord, the God of Israel, because he came to help, and made ransom for his people.

²⁰ And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all that they heard and saw, as it was told to them.

²⁶ And amazement gripped all, and they glorified God. And they were filled with fear, saying, We have seen strange things today.

³⁹ But when the Pharisee who invited him saw it, he spoke within himself, saying, This man, if he were a prophet, would know who and what kind the woman is who touches him, that she is sinful.

³⁷ And the whole multitude of the region around the Gadarenes besought him to depart from them, because they were gripped by great fear. And he, having embarked into the boat, returned.

¹⁹ And having answered, they said, John the immerser, but others, Elijah, and others, that a certain prophet of the ancient men arose.

⁴⁴ And they will raze thee and thy children within thee. And they will not leave in thee a stone upon a stone, because thou knew not the time of thy visitation.

¹⁹ And he said to them, What? And they said to him, The things about Jesus the Nazarene, who became a prophet, a mighty man in work and word before God and all the people,

²¹ And they asked him, What therefore, are thou Elijah? And he says, I am not. Are thou the prophet? And he answered, No.

²⁵ And they asked him, and said to him, Why therefore do thou immerse if thou are not the Christ nor Elijah nor the prophet?

¹⁹ The woman says to him, Sir, I perceive that thou are a prophet.

¹⁴ When therefore the men saw what sign Jesus did, they said, This really is the prophet who comes into the world.

⁴⁰ Many from the multitude therefore, when they heard the saying, said, This is truly the prophet. ⁴¹ Others said, This is the Christ. Others said, For does the Christ come out of Galilee?

¹⁷ They say again to the blind man, What do thou say about him, that he opened thine eyes? And he said, He is a prophet.

²² For Moses indeed said to the fathers, The Lord our God will raise up a prophet for you, from your brothers, like me. Ye shall hear him in all things, as many as he might speak to you. ²³ And every soul, whichever it will be, if it will not hear that prophet will be utterly destroyed from the people.

⁵ And Ananias hearing these words, after falling down he expired. And great fear developed in all who heard these things.

¹¹ And great fear developed in the whole church, and in all who heard these things. ¹² And by the hands of the apostles many signs and wonders happened among the people. And they were all with one accord in Solomon's porch. ¹³ But of the rest no man dared join them, but the people magnified them.

³⁷ This is the Moses who said to the sons of Israel, The Lord our God will raise up a prophet for you, from your brothers, like me.

²⁴ And they glorified God in me.

²⁴ And his fame went forth into all Syria. And they brought to him all those faring badly with various diseases, and gripped with pain, and being demon-possessed, and being lunatic, and paralyzed. And he healed them.

²⁶ And this report went forth into all that land.

³¹ But having departed, they widely proclaimed him in all that land.

²⁸ And his fame went forth straightaway into the entire region around Galilee.

¹⁴ And king Herod heard, for his name had become well known. And he said, John, the man who immerses, was raised from the dead, and because of this the powers work in him.

¹⁴ And having come, he touched the coffin, and the men carrying it stood still. And he said, Young man, I say to thee, arise.

² Now when John heard in the prison the works of the Christ, having sent two of his disciples, ³ he said to him, Are thou he who comes, or do we look for another man? ⁴ And having answered, Jesus said to them, After going, report to John the things that ye hear and see: ⁵ the blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, and the dead are raised up, and the poor are proclaimed good news. ⁶ And blessed is he, whoever will not be caused to stumble by me. ⁷ And while those men departed, Jesus began to say to the multitudes about John, What did ye go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken with the wind? ⁸ But what did ye go out to see? A man clothed in delicate clothes? Behold, those wearing delicate things are in king's houses. ⁹ But what did ye go out to see? A prophet? Yea, I say to you, and more than a prophet. ¹⁰ For this is he about whom it is written, Behold, I send my agent before thy face who will prepare thy way before thee. ¹¹ Truly I say to you, among men born of women there has not been raised a greater than John the immerser. Yet the smaller in the kingdom of the heavens is greater than he. ¹² And from the days of John the immerser until now the kingdom of the heavens is treated aggressively, and aggressors seize it. ¹³ For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John. ¹⁴ And if ye are willing to receive it, he is Elijah who is going to come. ¹⁵ He who has ears to hear, let him hear. ¹⁶ But to what shall I compare this generation? It is like children sitting in the marketplaces, calling to their companions, ¹⁷ and saying, We piped to you, and ye did not dance, we mourned to you, and ye did not beat the breast. ¹⁸ For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He has a demon. ¹⁹ The Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say, Behold the man, a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners! And wisdom is justified from her children.

²⁶ And they came to John, and said to him, Rabbi, he who was with thee beyond the Jordan, about whom thou have testified, behold, this man immerses, and all men come to him.

¹⁵ And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed. He shall bruise thy head, and thou shall bruise his heel.

¹⁸ and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed, because thou have obeyed my voice.

¹⁰ The scepter shall not depart from Judah, nor the ruler's staff from between his feet, until he comes to whom it belongs, and to him shall the obedience of the peoples be.

¹⁵ LORD thy God will raise up for thee a prophet from the midst of thee, of thy brothers, like me. Ye shall hearken to him, ¹⁶ according to all that thou desired of LORD thy God in Horeb in the day of the assembly, saying, Let me not hear again the voice of LORD my God, neither let me see this great fire any more, that I not die. ¹⁷ And LORD said to me, They have well said that which they have spoken. ¹⁸ I will raise up a prophet for them from among their brothers, like thee. And I will put my words in his mouth, and he shall speak to them all that I shall command him.

¹ And Joshua the son of Nun sent out of Shittim two men as spies secretly, saying, Go, view the land, and Jericho. And they went and came into the house of a harlot whose name was Rahab, and lay down there.

¹ LORD says to my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand until I make thine enemies thy footstool. ² LORD will send forth the rod of thy strength out of Zion. Rule thou in the midst of thine enemies. ³ Thy people offer themselves willingly in the day of thy power, in holy array. Out of the womb of the morning thou have the dew of thy youth. ⁴ LORD has sworn, and will not repent. Thou are a priest forever after the order of Melchizedek.

¹⁴ Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.

⁶ For to us a child is born, to us a son is given. And the government shall be upon his shoulder. And his name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Father of Eternity, Prince of Peace. ⁷ Of the increase of his government and of peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to establish it, and to uphold it with justice and with righteousness from henceforth even forever. The zeal of LORD of hosts will perform this.

¹ And there shall come forth a shoot out of the stock of Jesse. And a branch out of his roots shall bear fruit.

¹⁰ Behold, the lord LORD will come as a mighty one, and his arm will rule for him. Behold, his reward is with him, and his recompense before him. ¹¹ He will feed his flock like a shepherd. He will gather the lambs in his arm, and carry them in his bosom, and will gently lead those who have their young.

²⁰ And he who redeems will come to Zion, and to those who turn from transgression in Jacob, says LORD. ²¹ And as for me, this is my covenant with them, says LORD: My Spirit that is upon thee, and my words which I have put in thy mouth, shall not depart out of thy mouth, nor out of the mouth of thy seed, nor out of the mouth of thy seed's seed, says LORD, from henceforth and forever.

⁵ Behold, the days come, says LORD, that I will raise to David a righteous Branch, and he shall reign as king and deal wisely, and shall execute justice and righteousness in the land. ⁶ In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely. And this is his name by which he shall be called: LORD our righteousness.

²⁴ Seventy weeks are decreed upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most holy. ²⁵ Know therefore and discern, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem to the anointed one, the Prince, shall be seven weeks, and sixty-two weeks. It shall be built again, with street and moat, even in troublesome times. ²⁶ And after the sixty-two weeks the anointed one shall be cut off, and shall have nothing. And the people of the prince who shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary, and the end of it shall be with a flood. And even to the end shall be war; desolations are determined.

² But thou, Bethlehem Ephrathah, which are little to be among the thousands of Judah, out of thee he shall come forth to me who is to be ruler in Israel, whose goings forth are from of old, from everlasting.

⁷ And I will shake all nations, and the precious things of all nations shall come, and I will fill this house with glory, says LORD of hosts.

⁹ Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion. Shout, O daughter of Jerusalem. Behold, thy king comes to thee. He is just, and having salvation, lowly, and riding upon a donkey, even upon a colt the foal of a donkey.

¹ Behold, I send my agent, and he shall prepare the way before me. And the Lord, whom ye seek, will suddenly come to his temple. And the messenger of the covenant, whom ye desire, behold, he comes, says LORD of hosts. ² But who can abide the day of his coming? And who shall stand when he appears? For he is like a refiner's fire, and like fuller's soap. ³ And he will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver. And he will purify the sons of Levi, and refine them as gold and silver. And they shall offer to LORD offerings in righteousness.

² But to you who fear my name the sun of righteousness shall arise with healing in its wings, and ye shall go forth, and frolic as calves of the stall.

⁷ And he summons the twelve, and began to send them forth in pairs. And he gave them authority over the unclean spirits.

²⁵ The woman says to him, I know that Messiah comes, he who is called Christ. When that man comes he will declare all things to us.

³ And I will give to my two witnesses, and they will prophesy a thousand two hundred and sixty days clothed in sackcloth.

³⁷ If there be famine in the land, if there be pestilence, if there be blight, mildew, locust or caterpillar, if their enemy besiege them in the land of their cities, whatever plague, whatever sickness there be,

⁷ For we are consumed in thine anger, and in thy wrath are we troubled. ⁸ Thou have set our iniquities before thee, our secret sins in the light of thy countenance. ⁹ For all our days are passed away in thy wrath. We bring our years to an end as a sigh.

²³ And Jesus went around all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the good news of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people.

¹⁰ For he healed many, so as to press upon him, so that as many as had afflictions might touch him.

²⁹ And straightaway the flow of her blood was dried up, and she knew in the body that she was healed of her scourge.

³⁴ And he said to her, Daughter, thy faith has healed thee. Go in peace, and be healthy from thy scourge.

³⁰ Because of this many are weak and sickly among you, and a considerable sleep. ³¹ But if we were discerning ourselves we would not be judged. ³² But when we are judged by the Lord, we are chastened so that we may not be condemned with the world.

⁶ For whom the Lord loves he chastens. And he whips every son whom he receives.

¹⁴ Is any man weak among you? Let him summon the elders of the congregation, and let them pray near him, having anointed him with olive oil in the name of the Lord. ¹⁵ And the prayer of faith will rescue him who is depressed, and the Lord will rouse him. And if he should be a man who has committed sins, they will be forgiven him.

¹⁵ I was eyes to the blind, and I was feet to the lame.

⁸ LORD opens the eyes of the blind. LORD raises up those who are bowed down. LORD loves the righteous.

¹⁸ And in that day the deaf shall hear the words of the book, and the eyes of the blind shall see out of obscurity and out of darkness. ¹⁹ The meek also shall increase their joy in LORD, and the poor among men shall rejoice in the Holy One of Israel.

³ And the eyes of those who see shall not be dim, and the ears of those who hear shall hearken. ⁴ And the heart of the rash shall understand knowledge, and the tongue of the stammerers shall be ready to speak plainly.

⁵ Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped. ⁶ Then the lame man shall leap as a hart, and the tongue of the mute shall sing. For waters in the wilderness shall break out, and streams in the desert.

⁶ I, LORD, have called thee in righteousness, and will hold thy hand, and will keep thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles, ⁷ to open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the dungeon, and those who sit in darkness out of the prison-house.

¹⁶ And I will bring the blind by a way that they know not. I will lead them in paths that they know not. I will make darkness light before them, and crooked places straight. These things I will do, and I will not forsake them.

⁸ Bring forth the blind people who have eyes, and the deaf who have ears.

¹ The Spirit of the lord LORD is upon me, because LORD has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to heal the broken-hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, and the opening of bonds to those who are bound, ² to proclaim the acceptable year of LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all who mourn, ³ to appoint to those who mourn in Zion, to give to them a garland for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness, that they may be called trees of righteousness, the planting of LORD, that he may be glorified.

⁸ Behold, I will bring them from the north country, and gather them from the outermost parts of the earth, and with them the blind man and the lame man, the woman with child, and she who travails with child together. They shall return here a great company.

¹² But I will leave in the midst of thee an afflicted and poor people, and they shall take refuge in the name of LORD.

²⁸ And when he came into the house, the blind men came to him. And Jesus says to them, Believe ye that I am able to do this? They say to him, Yes, Lord. ²⁹ Then he touched their eyes, saying, According to your faith may it happen to you. ³⁰ And their eyes were opened. And Jesus strictly warned them, saying, See that no man knows it.

³⁰ And many multitudes came to him, having with them the lame, blind, mute, crippled, and many others. And they placed them beside Jesus' feet, and he healed them, ³¹ so as for the multitudes to marvel seeing the mute speaking, the maimed healthy, and the lame walking, and the blind seeing. And they glorified the God of Israel.

¹⁴ And the lame and the blind came to him in the temple, and he healed them.

³² And they bring a deaf, tongue-tied man to him, and they beseech him to lay his hand upon him. ³³ And having taken him from the multitude in private, he put his fingers into his ears, and having spat, he touched his tongue. ³⁴ And having looked up to heaven, he sighed, and says to him, Ephphatha, that is, Be opened. ³⁵ And straightaway his ears were opened, and the bond of his tongue was loosened, and he spoke plainly. ³⁶ And he commanded them that they should tell no man, but as much as he commanded them, so much the more abundantly they proclaimed it. ³⁷ And they were exceedingly astonished, saying, He has done all things well. He even makes the deaf to hear, and the mute to speak.

¹⁸ The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to heal the broken hearted, to proclaim deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to sent forth in deliverance those who have been broken,

¹² And it came to pass while he was in one of the cities, behold, a man full of leprosy. And having seen Jesus, having fallen on his face, he besought him, saying, Lord, if thou will, thou can make me clean. ¹³ And having stretched forth his hand, he touched him, having said, I will, be thou clean. And straightaway the leprosy departed from him. ¹⁴ And he commanded him to tell no man, but, After going, show thyself to the priest, and bring concerning thy cleansing, just as Moses commanded for a testimony to them. ¹⁵ But the report about him went through more, and many multitudes came together to hear, and to be healed by him from their infirmities.

¹⁴ And having come, he touched the coffin, and the men carrying it stood still. And he said, Young man, I say to thee, arise. ¹⁵ And the dead man sat up, and began to speak. And he gave him to his mother.

²¹ And in the same hour he healed many from diseases and plagues and evil spirits. And he granted sight to many blind men.

⁵³ And they ridiculed him, knowing that she died.

¹² And as he entered into a certain village, ten leprous men who stood from afar met him. ¹³ And they raised a voice, saying, Jesus, Master, be merciful to us. ¹⁴ And when he saw them, he said to them, After departing, display yourselves to the priests. And it came to pass, during their going they were cleansed. ¹⁵ And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back with a great voice glorifying God. ¹⁶ And he fell upon his face beside his feet giving him thanks. And he was a Samaritan. ¹⁷ And having answered, Jesus said, Were not the ten cleansed? But where are the nine? ¹⁸ Were there none found who returned to give glory to God, except this foreigner? ¹⁹ And he said to him, After rising, go. Thy faith has healed thee.

³⁵ And it came to pass as he approached Jericho, a certain blind man sat beside the road begging. ³⁶ And having heard a multitude going by, he inquired what this may be. ³⁷ And they informed him that Jesus the Nazarene passes by. ³⁸ And he cried out, saying, Jesus, thou son of David, be merciful to me. ³⁹ And those who went ahead rebuked him, so that he would be quiet, but he cried out much more, Thou son of David, be merciful to me. ⁴⁰ And having stood still, Jesus commanded him to be brought to him. And when he came near, he questioned him, ⁴¹ saying, What do thou that I would do to thee? And he said, Lord, that I may receive sight. ⁴² And Jesus said to him, Receive sight. Thy faith has healed thee. ⁴³ And immediately he received sight, and followed him glorifying God. And all the people when they saw it gave praise to God.

⁴⁶ And Nathanael said to him, What good can be from Nazareth? Philip says to him, Come and see.

³⁰ The man answered and said to them, For in this it is amazing, that ye know not where he is from, and yet he opened my eyes. ³¹ And we know that God does not listen to sinners, but if any man is a worshiper of God, and does his will, he listens to this man. ³² From the age, it was not heard that any man opened the eyes of a man who was born blind. ³³ If this man were not from God, he could do nothing.

² And a certain man, being lame from his mother's belly, was carried, whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple, called Beautiful, to ask charity from those who entered into the temple, ³ who, having seen Peter and John intending to go into the temple, asked charity. ⁴ And Peter, having gazed intently at him, with John, said, Look at us. ⁵ And he gave attention to them expecting to receive something from them. ⁶ But Peter said, No silver and gold exists to me, but what I have, this I give thee. In the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, rise up and walk. ⁷ And after taking him by the right hand, he lifted him up. And immediately his feet and his ankles were strengthened. ⁸ And leaping up, he stood and walked. And he entered with them into the temple, walking, and leaping, and praising God.

⁷ For of many of those who had unclean spirits, they came out, crying in a great voice. And many who were paralyzed, and who were lame, were healed.

⁸ And a certain man was sitting in Lystra, disabled in his feet, being a cripple from his mother's belly, who had never walked. ⁹ This man was listening to Paul speaking, who, having gazed at him, and having seen that he has faith to be healed, ¹⁰ said with a great voice, Stand correctly on thy feet. And he leaped up and walked.

¹⁸ to open their eyes to turn about from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God, for them to receive remission of sins and a lot among those who have been sanctified by faith in me.

⁵ Listen, my beloved brothers, did not God choose the poor of the world, rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom, which he promised to those who love him?

¹⁴ And he shall be for a sanctuary, but for a stone of stumbling and for a rock of offense to both the houses of Israel, for a net and for a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem. ¹⁵ And many shall stumble on it, and fall, and be broken, and be snared, and be taken.

⁶ And blessed is he, whoever will not be caused to stumble by me.

⁵⁷ And they were offended by him. But Jesus said to them, A prophet is not without honor, except in his fatherland, and in his house. ⁵⁸ And he did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief.

³⁴ And Simeon blessed them, and said to Mary his mother, Behold, this man is set for the falling and the rising of many in Israel, and for a sign being repudiated

⁶⁰ Therefore many of his disciples having heard, said, This is a hard saying. Who can listen to it? ⁶¹ But Jesus, knowing in himself that his disciples are grumbling about this, said to them, Does this cause you to stumble? ⁶² Then if ye should see the Son of man ascending where he was before? ⁶³ It is the spirit that makes alive. The flesh benefits nothing. The sayings that I speak to you are spirit, are life. ⁶⁴ Nevertheless, there are some of you who do not believe. For Jesus had known from the beginning who they are who do not believe, and who he is who will betray him. ⁶⁵ And he said, Because of this I have said to you that no man is able to come to me, if it is not given to him from my Father. ⁶⁶ From this, many of his disciples went back at these things, and walked no more with him.

³² Why? Because it was not from faith but as from works of law. For they stumbled at the stone of stumbling, ³³ just as it is written, Behold, I lay in Zion a stone of stumbling and a rock of offense. And every man who believes in him will not be shamed.

²¹ For since in the wisdom of God the world did not know God through its wisdom, it pleased God through the foolishness of preaching to save those who believe. ²² And because Jews demand a sign and Greeks search for wisdom, ²³ but we proclaim Christ crucified, it is truly to Jews a stumbling-block and to Gentiles foolishness. ²⁴ But to them, to the called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ is the power of God and the wisdom of God. ²⁵ Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weak thing of God is stronger than men. ²⁶ For notice your calling, brothers, that not many are wise according to flesh, not many powerful, not many eminent. ²⁷ But God chose the foolish things of the world, so that he might humiliate the wise, and God chose the weak things of the world, so that he might humiliate the powerful. ²⁸ And God chose the common things of the world, and the disdained things, and the things that are not, so that he might make useless the things that are,

¹⁴ Now the natural man does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him, and he is unable to understand because they are evaluated spiritually.

⁷ To you therefore who believe is the preciousness, but for men who disobey, A stone that the builders rejected, this became the head of the corner, ⁸ and, A stone of stumbling and a rock of offense, men who stumble at the word, being disobedient, for which also they were set.

⁴ Boiling over as water, thou shall not have the pre-eminence, because thou went up to thy father's bed, then thou defiled it; he went up to my couch.

¹ And in those days John the immerser comes, preaching in the wilderness of Judea, and saying, ² Repent ye, for the kingdom of the heavens has approached. ³ For this is he who was spoken of by Isaiah the prophet, saying, The voice of a man crying in the wilderness: Prepare ye the way of the Lord. Make his paths straight. ⁴ Now John himself had his raiment of camel's hair, and a leather belt about his waist. And his food was locusts and wild honey. ⁵ Then Jerusalem, and all Judea, and all the region of the Jordan went out to him,

⁷ And while those men departed, Jesus began to say to the multitudes about John, What did ye go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken with the wind? ⁸ But what did ye go out to see? A man clothed in delicate clothes? Behold, those wearing delicate things are in king's houses.

⁴ It came to pass, that John was immersing in the wilderness and preaching an immersion of repentance for remission of sins. ⁵ And all the land of Judea and the Jerusalemites went out to him, and they were all immersed by him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins.

⁸⁰ And the child grew, and became strong in spirit. And he was in the desolate regions until the day of his manifestation to Israel.

² in the high priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came to be in John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness.

²³ He said, I am the voice of a man crying out in the wilderness: Make straight the way of the Lord, just as the prophet Isaiah said.

¹⁷ Therefore intending this, did I accordingly employ anything in lightness? Or what I decide, do I decide according to flesh, so that it would be with me the yes, yes and the no, no? ¹⁸ But God is faithful, because our word toward you became not, yes and no. ¹⁹ For the Son of God, Jesus Christ who was proclaimed among you by us (by me and Silvanus and Timothy) became not, yes and no, but in him has become, yes. ²⁰ For as many as be promises of God, in him is the Yes, and in him the Truly, for glory to God through us.

¹⁴ So that we may no longer be childish, tossed about and carried about by every wind of doctrine by the trickery of men in craftiness with the methodology of error.

⁶ But let him ask in faith, doubting nothing, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven by wind and tossed about. ⁷ For that man should not think that he will receive anything from the Lord, ⁸ a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.

¹⁷ These men are waterless wells, and clouds driven by a fierce wind, for whom the gloom of darkness has been reserved into an age.

¹⁷ Ye therefore, beloved, knowing in advance, keep watch, lest, having accommodated to the error of the lawless, ye fall from your own steadfastness.

³⁵ I am this day eighty years old. Can I discern between good and bad? Can thy servant taste what I eat or what I drink? Can I hear any more the voice of singing men and singing women? Why then should thy servant be yet a burden to my lord the king?

⁵ and the food of his table, and the seating of his servants, and the attendance of his ministers, and their apparel, and his cupbearers, and his ascent by which he went up to the house of LORD, there was no more spirit in her.

⁸ And they answered him, He was a hairy man, and girt with a belt of leather about his loins. And he said, It is Elijah the Tishbite.

³ in the third year of his reign, he made a feast to all his rulers and his servants, the power of Persia and Media, the ranking men and rulers of the provinces, being before him

¹¹ to bring Vashti the queen before the king with the royal crown to show the peoples and the rulers her beauty, for she was fair to look on.

² And he came even before the king's gate, for none might enter inside the king's gate clothed with sackcloth.

¹ Now it came to pass on the third day, that Esther put on her royal apparel, and stood in the inner court of the king's house, opposite the king's house. And the king sat upon his royal throne in the royal house, opposite the entrance of the house.

¹⁵ And Mordecai went forth from the presence of the king in royal apparel of blue and white, and with a great crown of gold, and with a robe of fine linen and purple. And the city of Shushan shouted and was glad.

¹⁷ And he put on righteousness as a breastplate, and a helmet of salvation upon his head. And he put on garments of vengeance for clothing, and was clad with zeal as a mantle.

⁴ Now John himself had his raiment of camel's hair, and a leather belt about his waist. And his food was locusts and wild honey.

²⁹ yet I say to you, that not even Solomon in all his glory was arrayed like one of these.

³ Of which let it not be the outward world of braiding of hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on apparel, ⁴ but the hidden man of the heart, in the incorruptible, of the meek and quiet spirit, which is very precious in the sight of God.

⁹ But what did ye go out to see? A prophet? Yea, I say to you, and more than a prophet. ¹⁰ For this is he about whom it is written, Behold, I send my agent before thy face who will prepare thy way before thee. ¹¹ Truly I say to you, among men born of women there has not been raised a greater than John the immerser. Yet the smaller in the kingdom of the heavens is greater than he. ¹² And from the days of John the immerser until now the kingdom of the heavens is treated aggressively, and aggressors seize it. ¹³ For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John. ¹⁴ And if ye are willing to receive it, he is Elijah who is going to come.

⁷⁶ And thou, child, will be called a prophet of the Most High. For thou will go ahead, before the face of the Lord, to prepare his ways,

¹⁶ The law and the prophets were until John. From that time the kingdom of God is proclaimed good news, and every man in it is treated aggressively.

⁶ But if we say, From men, all the people will stone us, for they are convinced John is a prophet.

²⁶ And they came to John, and said to him, Rabbi, he who was with thee beyond the Jordan, about whom thou have testified, behold, this man immerses, and all men come to him. ²⁷ John answered and said, A man can receive nothing unless it is given to him from heaven. ²⁸ Ye yourselves testify that I said, I am not the Christ, but that I am sent ahead of that man. ²⁹ He who has the bride is the bridegroom. But the friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices with joy because of the bridegroom's voice. This therefore my joy is fulfilled. ³⁰ It is necessary for that man to increase, but me to decrease.

³⁵ That man was the lamp that burns and shines, and ye were willing to rejoice for an hour in his light.

³ The voice of a man crying out in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of LORD, make straight in the desert a highway for our God.

¹ Behold, I send my agent, and he shall prepare the way before me. And the Lord, whom ye seek, will suddenly come to his temple. And the messenger of the covenant, whom ye desire, behold, he comes, says LORD of hosts.

⁵ Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the great and fearful day of LORD comes. ⁶ And he shall turn the hearts of the fathers to the sons, and the heart of the sons to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.

¹⁰ For this is he about whom it is written, Behold, I send my agent before thy face who will prepare thy way before thee.

² As it is written in the prophets, Behold, I send my agent before thy face, who will prepare thy way before thee.

¹⁵ For he will be great in the sight of the Lord, and he should, no, not drink wine and strong drink. And he will be filled of the Holy Spirit, even from his mother's belly. ¹⁶ And he will turn back many of the sons of Israel to the Lord their God. ¹⁷ And he will go ahead, in front of him, in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn back the hearts of fathers toward children, and the disobedient in a mentality of the righteous, to make ready for the Lord a people prepared.

¹¹ Truly I say to you, among men born of women there has not been raised a greater than John the immerser. Yet the smaller in the kingdom of the heavens is greater than he.

¹⁶ But blessed are your eyes, because they see, and your ears, because they hear. ¹⁷ For truly I say to you, that many prophets and righteous men longed to see the things that ye see, and did not see them, and to hear the things that ye hear, and did not hear them.

¹⁴ And there will be joy and exultation for thee, and many will rejoice at his birth. ¹⁵ For he will be great in the sight of the Lord, and he should, no, not drink wine and strong drink. And he will be filled of the Holy Spirit, even from his mother's belly.

¹⁶ John responded, saying to them all, I indeed immerse you in water, but a man mightier than I comes, of whom I am not worthy to unloose the strap of his shoes. He will immerse you in the Holy Spirit and fire,

⁴⁸ and he said to them, Whoever may receive this child in my name receives me, and whoever may receive me receives him who sent me, for he who exists smaller among you all, this man will be great.

²³ And having turning toward the disciples in private, he said, Blessed are the eyes that see what ye see. ²⁴ For I say to you, that many prophets and kings desired to see what ye see, and did not see, and to hear what ye hear, and did not hear.

⁸ To me, a man less than the least of all the sanctified, this grace was given to preach good news among the Gentiles, the unsearchable wealth of Christ, ⁹ and to make all men see what is the administration of the mystery hidden from the ages in God who created all things through Jesus Christ.

²⁵ Of which I became a helper according to the administration of God, which was given to me for you to fulfill the word of God, ²⁶ the mystery that was hidden from the ages and from the generations, but has now been made known to his sanctified. ²⁷ To whom God wanted to make known what is the wealth of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.

³⁹ And all these, having been well reported through faith, did not receive the promise, ⁴⁰ God having foreseen something superior concerning us, so that without us they would not be made fully perfect.

¹⁰ About which salvation the prophets sought and searched diligently. Men who prophesied about the grace for you, ¹¹ searching for what, or what kind of time the Spirit of Christ in them indicated, predicting the sufferings in Christ, and the glories after these things. ¹² To whom it was revealed, that they were serving not themselves, but you, those things that were now reported to you by those who preached good news to you in the Holy Spirit, which was sent forth from heaven, into which things agents longed to stoop to see.

⁷ And Adoni-bezek said, Seventy kings, having their thumbs and their great toes cut off, gathered scraps under my table. As I have done, so God has requited me. And they brought him to Jerusalem, and he died there.

⁴ Against thee, thee only, I have sinned, and done that which is evil in thy sight, that thou may be justified when thou speak, and may prevail when thou are criticized.

⁵ Then Jerusalem, and all Judea, and all the region of the Jordan went out to him, ⁶ and they were immersed by him in the Jordan, confessing their sins.

³¹ Which of the two did the will of the father? They say to him, The first. Jesus says to them, Truly I say to you, that the tax collectors and the harlots go into the kingdom of God before you. ³² For John came to you in a way of righteousness, and ye did not believe him, but the tax collectors and the harlots believed him. And having seen it, ye did not repent afterward to believe him.

¹² And tax collectors also came to be immersed, and they said to him, Teacher, what should we do?

³⁵ And wisdom is justified from all her children.

²⁵ This was a man who was instructed in the way of the Lord. And being fervent in the Spirit, he was speaking and teaching accurately the things about the Lord, knowing only the immersion of John.

³ And he said to them, Into what then were ye immersed? And they said, Into John's immersion.

⁴ May it not happen! But let it come to pass God is true, but every man a liar, as it is written, That thou may ever be justified in thy words, and may prevail when thou are criticized. ⁵ But if our unrighteousness commends the righteousness of God, what will we say? Is God unrighteous inflicting wrath? (I speak according to a man.) ⁶ May it not happen! Otherwise how will God judge the world?

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

³ And they sing the song of Moses the bondman of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and marvelous are thy works, Lord God Almighty, righteous and true are thy ways, thou King of the nations.

⁵ And I heard the agent of the waters saying, Thou are righteous who is and was-the Divine-because thou judged these things.

⁸ How can ye say, We are wise, and the law of LORD is with us? But behold, the false pen of the scribes has wrought falsely.

³⁵ And one of them, a lawyer, questioned, trying him, and saying,

³⁴ O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, that kills the prophets, and stones those who are sent to her. How often I wanted to gather thy children together as a hen does her brood under her wings, and ye would not.

²⁷ For I did not withdraw from declaring to you the whole plan of God.

²¹ But to Israel he says, The whole day I stretched forth my hands to a disobedient and rebellious people.

¹ And working jointly, we urge you also not to receive the grace of God in vain

²¹ I do not disregard the grace of God, for if righteousness is through law, then Christ died in vain.

¹¹ in him in whom also we obtained an inheritance. Having been predestined according to the purpose of him who works all things according to the deliberation of his will,

¹³ What shall I testify to thee? What shall I liken to thee, O daughter of Jerusalem? What shall I compare to thee, that I may comfort thee, O virgin daughter of Zion? For thy breach is great like the sea; who can heal thee?

³⁰ And he said, To what shall we liken the kingdom of God? Or by what parable shall we compare it?

¹⁶ Why is there a price in the hand of a fool to buy wisdom, since he has no understanding?

⁹ Whom will he teach knowledge? And whom will he make to understand the message? Those who are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts? ¹⁰ For it is precept upon precept, precept upon precept, line upon line, line upon line, here a little, there a little. ¹¹ No, but by men of strange lips and with another tongue he will speak to this people, ¹² to whom he said, This is the rest. Give ye rest to him who is weary. And this is the refreshing. Yet they would not hear. ¹³ Therefore the word of LORD shall be to them precept upon precept, precept upon precept, line upon line, line upon line, here a little, there a little, that they may go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken.

¹¹ And all vision has become to you as the words of a book that is sealed, which men deliver to a man who is learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee. And he says, I cannot, for it is sealed. ¹² And the book is delivered to him who is not learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee. And he says, I am not learned.

³ O LORD, do not thine eyes look upon truth? Thou have stricken them, but they were not grieved. Thou have consumed them, but they have refused to receive correction. They have made their faces harder than a rock. They have refused to return. ⁴ Then I said, Surely these are poor, they are foolish, for they know not the way of LORD, nor the law of their God. ⁵ I will go to the great men, and will speak to them, for they know the way of LORD, and the law of their God. But these with one accord have broken the yoke, and burst the bonds.

⁵ And the streets of the city shall be full of boys and girls playing in the streets of it.

⁸ And thou shall not go into the house of feasting to sit with them, to eat and to drink. ⁹ For thus says LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I will cause to cease out of this place, before your eyes and in your days, the voice of mirth and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride. ¹⁰ And it shall come to pass, when thou shall show this people all these words, and they shall say to thee, Why has LORD pronounced all this great evil against us? Or what is our iniquity? Or what is our sin that we have committed against LORD our God?

²⁵ It is enough for the pupil that he becomes like his teacher, and the bondman like his lord. If they have called the house-ruler Beelzebub, how much more those of his household.

⁶ And John was clothed with camel's hair and a leather belt around his waist, and eating locusts and wild honey.

¹⁵ For he will be great in the sight of the Lord, and he should, no, not drink wine and strong drink. And he will be filled of the Holy Spirit, even from his mother's belly.

⁴⁸ Therefore the Jews answered and said to him, Do we not say well that thou are a Samaritan, and have a demon?

⁵² The Jews therefore said to him, Now we know that thou have a demon. Abraham died, and the prophets, and thou say, If any man keeps my word, he will, no, not taste of death, into the age.

²⁰ And many of them said, He has a demon, and is mad. Why do ye listen to him?

¹³ But others, mocking said, They are filled of wine.

¹¹ And when the Pharisees saw it, they said to his disciples, Why does your teacher eat with the tax collectors and sinners?

²⁹ And Levi made a great feast for him in his house, and there was a large crowd of tax collectors and others who were relaxing with them.

³⁶ And a certain man of the Pharisees asked him that he would eat with him. And having entered into the Pharisee's house, he sat down.

³⁷ Now as he spoke a certain Pharisee asks him that he might dine with him. And having entered in, he sat down.

¹ And it came to pass, when he went into the house of a certain man of the chiefs of the Pharisees on a sabbath to eat bread, that they were watching him.

² And the Pharisees and the scholars murmured, saying, This man receives sinners and eats with them.

⁷ And all who saw murmured, saying, He went in to relax with a sinful man.

² And Jesus also was invited, and his disciples, to the wedding.

² So they made a supper for him there, and Martha served, and Lazarus was one of those who sat dining with him.

³² Now therefore, ye sons, hearken to me. For blessed are those who keep my ways. ³³ Hear instruction, and be wise, and do not refuse it. ³⁴ Blessed is the man who hears me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at the posts of my doors. ³⁵ For he who finds me finds life, and shall obtain favor of LORD. ³⁶ But he who sins against me wrongs his own soul. All those who hate me love death.

⁹ Who is wise, that he may understand these things, prudent, that he may know them? For the ways of LORD are right, and the just shall walk in them. But transgressors shall fall therein.

¹⁹ The Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say, Behold the man, a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners! And wisdom is justified from her children.

²⁹ And all the people having heard, and the tax collectors who were immersed the immersion of John, justified God.

¹⁴ Now the natural man does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him, and he is unable to understand because they are evaluated spiritually. ¹⁵ But truly the spiritual man evaluates all things, but he himself is evaluated by none.

⁵ But they said, Not during the feast, lest an uproar develop among people. ⁶ Now when Jesus happened to be in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper,

³ And while he was in Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, as he sat relaxing, a woman came having an alabaster cruse of ointment of pure spikenard, very valuable. And having broken the alabaster cruse, she poured it on his head. ⁴ And some were indignant within themselves, saying, Why has this waste of the ointment happened? ⁵ For this could have been sold for over three hundred denarii, and given to the poor. And they grumbled at her. ⁶ But Jesus said, Leave her be. Why do ye cause troubles for her? She performed a good work on me. ⁷ For ye always have the poor with you, and whenever ye may desire ye can do them well, but ye do not always have me. ⁸ She applied what she had to anoint my body. She did it beforehand for the burial. ⁹ And truly I say to you, wherever this good news may be preached in the whole world, also what she did will be told for a memorial of her.

³⁴ The Son of man has come eating and drinking, and ye say, Behold the man, a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!

² And Mary was the woman who anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick. ³ The sisters therefore sent to him, saying, Lord, behold, he whom thou love is sick. ⁴ But when Jesus heard, he said, This sickness is not about death, but for the glory of God, so that the Son of God may be glorified by it. ⁵ Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus. ⁶ When therefore he heard that he is sick, then he actually remained two days in that place he was. ⁷ Later after this he says to the disciples, Let us go into Judea again. ⁸ The disciples say to him, Rabbi, the Jews were now seeking to stone thee, and thou go there again. ⁹ Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If a man walks in the day, he does not stumble, because he sees the light of this world. ¹⁰ But if any man walks in the night, he stumbles, because the light is not in him. ¹¹ He spoke these things, and after this he says to them, Our friend Lazarus has become asleep, but I go that I may awake him. ¹² His disciples therefore said, Lord, if he has become asleep, he will be healed. ¹³ But Jesus had spoken about his death, but those men thought that he was speaking about the restfulness of sleep. ¹⁴ Therefore Jesus then said to them plainly, Lazarus died. ¹⁵ And I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, so that ye may believe. Nevertheless let us go to him. ¹⁶ Therefore Thomas, called Didymus, said to his fellow disciples, Let us also go, that we may die with him.

³¹ Which of the two did the will of the father? They say to him, The first. Jesus says to them, Truly I say to you, that the tax collectors and the harlots go into the kingdom of God before you.

⁶ Now when Jesus happened to be in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper, ⁷ a woman came to him having an alabaster cruse of precious ointment, and she poured it upon his head as he sat relaxing. ⁸ But when his disciples saw it, they were indignant, saying, Why this waste? ⁹ For this ointment could have been sold for much, and given to the poor. ¹⁰ But Jesus knowing it, he said to them, Why do ye cause troubles to the woman? For she has wrought a good work upon me. ¹¹ For ye always have the poor with you, but ye do not always have me. ¹² For by pouring this ointment upon my body, she did it for my burial. ¹³ Truly I say to you, wherever this good news may be proclaimed in the whole world, what this woman did will also be told for a memorial of her.

³⁰ And their scholars and Pharisees murmured against his disciples, saying, Why do ye eat and drink with the tax collectors and sinners?

³² I have not come to call the righteous but sinners to repentance.

³⁷ And behold, a woman in the city who was sinful. And when she knew that he sat in the Pharisee's house, having brought an alabaster cruse of ointment, ³⁸ and having stood behind near his feet, weeping, she began to wet his feet with the tears, and wiped them with the hair of her head. And she kissed his feet much, and anointed them with the ointment. ³⁹ But when the Pharisee who invited him saw it, he spoke within himself, saying, This man, if he were a prophet, would know who and what kind the woman is who touches him, that she is sinful.

¹³ But the tax collector, having stood from afar, would not even lift his eyes to the sky, but beat upon his breast, saying, God, be thou merciful to me a sinful man.

²⁴ So they called the man who was blind, for a second time, and said to him, Give glory to God. We know that this man is sinful.

³¹ And we know that God does not listen to sinners, but if any man is a worshiper of God, and does his will, he listens to this man.

¹ Therefore six days before the Passover Jesus came to Bethany where Lazarus was, the man who died whom he raised from the dead. ² So they made a supper for him there, and Martha served, and Lazarus was one of those who sat dining with him. ³ Mary therefore, after taking a pound of ointment of very costly genuine spikenard, anointed the feet of Jesus and wiped his feet with her hair. And the house was filled of the aroma of the ointment. ⁴ Therefore one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, son of Simon, the man who was going to betray him, says, ⁵ Why was this ointment not sold for three hundred denarii, and given to the poor? ⁶ Now he said this, not because it was a concern to him about the poor, but because he was a thief, and he had the purse and removed things that were put in. ⁷ Jesus therefore said, Let her alone. She has keep it for the day of my burial. ⁸ For ye always have the poor with you, but ye do not always have me.

⁸ But God commends his love toward us, that, while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

⁹ knowing this, that law is not laid down for righteous men, but for the lawless and rebellious, for the irreverent and sinful, for the impious and profane, for father killers and mother killers, for man killers,

¹⁵ Faithful is the saying, and worthy of all acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinful men, of whom I am foremost.

¹⁸ And if the righteous man is scarcely saved, where will the irreverent and sinful man appear?

⁴ Let now a little water be fetched, and wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree.

⁴ And it came to pass, when the agent of LORD spoke these words to all the sons of Israel, that the people lifted up their voice, and wept. ⁵ And they called the name of that place Bochim, and they sacrificed there to LORD.

¹ Now while Ezra prayed and made confession, weeping and casting himself down before the house of God, there was gathered together to him out of Israel a very great assembly of men and women and children, for the people wept very much.

⁶ I am weary with my groaning. Every night I make my bed to swim. I water my couch with my tears. ⁷ My eye wastes away because of grief. It grows old because of all my adversaries. ⁸ Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity, for LORD has heard the voice of my weeping.

¹⁸ For I will declare my iniquity. I will be sorry for my sin.

¹⁷ The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit. A broken and contrite heart, O God, thou will not despise.

⁵ Those who sow in tears shall reap in joy. ⁶ He who goes forth and weeps, bearing seed for sowing, shall doubtless come again with joy, bringing his sheaves.

⁸ Let thy garments be always white, and let not thy head lack oil.

³ Thine oils have a good fragrance. Thy name is oil poured forth. Therefore the virgins love thee.

⁹ And thou went to the king with oil, and increased thy perfumes, and sent thine ambassadors far off, and debased thyself even to Sheol.

³ to appoint to those who mourn in Zion, to give to them a garland for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness, that they may be called trees of righteousness, the planting of LORD, that he may be glorified.

⁹ They shall come with weeping. And I will lead them with supplications. I will cause them to walk by rivers of waters, in a straight way in which they shall not stumble. For I am a father to Israel, and Ephraim is my firstborn.

¹⁸ I have surely heard Ephraim bemoaning himself saying, Thou have chastised me, and I was chastised as a calf unaccustomed to the yoke. Turn thou me back, and I shall be turned back, for thou are LORD my God. ¹⁹ Surely after that I was turned back. I repented, and after I was instructed, I smote upon my thigh. I was ashamed, yea, even confounded, because I bore the reproach of my youth. ²⁰ Is Ephraim my dear son? Is he a darling child? For as often as I speak against him, I do earnestly remember him still. Therefore my heart yearns for him. I will surely have mercy upon him, says LORD.

¹² Yet even now, says LORD, turn ye to me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning.

⁴ Blessed are those who mourn, because they will be comforted.

²¹ Blessed are those who hunger now, because ye will be filled. Blessed are those who weep now, because ye will laugh.

⁴⁴ And having turned to the woman, he said to Simon, See thou this woman? I entered into thy house; thou gave no water for my feet. But this woman has wet my feet with tears, and wiped them with the hairs of her head. ⁴⁵ Thou gave me no kiss, but this woman, since I came in, has not ceased kissing my feet much. ⁴⁶ Thou did not anoint my head with olive oil, but this woman has anointed my feet with ointment.

⁶² And having gone outside, Peter wept bitterly.

⁴ rises from supper, and set his garments aside, and after taking a towel, he girded himself. ⁵ Then he pours water into the wash-basin, and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe them with the towel with which he was girded.

¹⁰ For sorrow toward God works repentance for salvation without regret, but the sorrow of the world works death. ¹¹ For behold this same thing-your grieving toward God. How much eagerness it worked in you, even a defense, even indignation, even fear, even longing, even zeal, even vengeance! In everything ye demonstrated yourselves to be pure in the matter.

⁹ Be ye sorrowful, and mourn, and weep. Let your laughter be turned into mourning, and your joy into a downcast look.

²⁰ But Gehazi the servant of Elisha the man of God, said, Behold, my master has spared this Naaman the Syrian, in not receiving at his hands that which he brought. As LORD lives, I will run after him, and take something from him.

⁷ For as he thinks within himself, so is he. Eat and drink, he says to thee, but his heart is not with thee.

⁵ who say, Stand by thyself, do not come near to me, for I am holier than thou. These are a smoke in my nose, a fire that burns all the day.

¹² But Jesus having heard it, he said to them, Those who are strong have no need of a physician, but those who fare badly. ¹³ But after going, learn what this means, I desire mercy, and not sacrifice, for I came not to call the righteous, but sinners for repentance.

¹⁶ So the last will be first, and the first last, for many are called, but few chosen.

²⁸ But what does it seem to you? A man had two children. And having come to the first, he said, Child, go work today in my vineyard. ²⁹ And having answered, he said, I do not want to, but having repented later, he went. ³⁰ And having come to the second, he said likewise. And having answered, he said, I, sir, and did not go. ³¹ Which of the two did the will of the father? They say to him, The first. Jesus says to them, Truly I say to you, that the tax collectors and the harlots go into the kingdom of God before you.

⁶ But some of the scholars were sitting there, and deliberating in their hearts, ⁷ Why does this man speak blasphemies this way. Who can forgive sins but one, God?

²¹ For from inside the heart of men proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, thefts,

⁸ Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance, and do not begin to say within yourselves, We have a father, Abraham. For I say to you, that God is able from these stones to raise up children to Abraham.

¹⁶ And fear seized all. And they glorified God, saying, A great prophet has been raised among us, and, God came to help his people.

³⁷ And behold, a woman in the city who was sinful. And when she knew that he sat in the Pharisee's house, having brought an alabaster cruse of ointment,

¹⁷ And he pondered within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have nowhere I will store my crops?

²⁸ But he was angry, and would not go in. Therefore, his father having come out, he called him. ²⁹ But having answered, he said to his father, Lo, so many years do I serve thee, and I never passed by a commandment of thine, and yet thou never gave me a goat that I might be merry with my friends. ³⁰ But when this thy son came, who has devoured thy living with harlots, thou killed for him the fatted calf.

³ And the manager said within himself, What shall I do because my lord takes away the management from me? I am not able to dig. I am ashamed to beg.

⁴ And for a time he would not, but after these things he said within himself, Although I fear not God, and regard not man,

⁹ And he also spoke this parable to some of those who were persuaded in themselves that they were righteous, and disdained other men. ¹⁰ Two men went up into the temple to pray, the one a Pharisee, and the other a tax collector. ¹¹ Having stood by himself, the Pharisee prayed these things: God, I thank thee that I am not as the rest of men, predatory, unjust, adulterers, or even as this tax collector.

¹² And there was much murmuring among the multitudes about him. Some said, He is a good man, others said, No, but he leads the multitude astray.

⁴⁷ The Pharisees therefore answered them, Have ye not also been led astray? ⁴⁸ Have any of the rulers believed in him, or of the Pharisees? ⁴⁹ But this multitude that does not know the law are accursed. ⁵⁰ Nicodemus says to them (he who came to him by night, being one of them), ⁵¹ Does our law judge a man, unless it first may hear from himself and know what he does? ⁵² They answered and said to him, Are thou also from Galilee? Search and see, that out of Galilee arises no prophet.

³¹ And they come to thee as the people come, and they sit before thee as my people. And they hear thy words, but do not do them. For with their mouth they show much love, but their heart goes after their gain.

⁶ A son honors his father, and a servant his master. If then I am a father, where is my honor? And if I am a master, where is my fear? says LORD of hosts to you, O priests, who despise my name. And ye say, How have we despised thy name?

²² Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy by thy name, and by thy name cast out demons, and by thy name do many mighty works?

⁴⁹ And straightaway having come to Jesus, he said, Hail, Rabbi, and kissed him much.

²² But when Jesus perceived their thoughts, having responded, he said to them, Why do ye deliberate in your hearts?

³¹ And having answered, Jesus said to them, Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those faring badly.

⁸ But he knew their thoughts, and he said to the man who had the withered hand, Rise up, and stand forth in the midst. And having risen, he stood up.

¹⁸ And a certain ruler questioned him, saying, Good teacher, having done what, will I inherit eternal life?

²⁰ And having watched him, they sent forth insidious men pretending themselves to be righteous, so that they might take hold of his word, in order to deliver him up to the rule and to the authority of the governor. ²¹ And they questioned him, saying, Teacher, we know that thou speak and teach rightly, and thou do not accept a personage, but teach the way of God in truth,

² This man came to him by night, and said to him, Rabbi, we know that thou have come a teacher from God, for no man can do these signs that thou do if God is not with him.

¹³ Ye call me, Teacher, and, Lord. And ye say well, for I am.

¹⁹ Therefore Jesus knew that they wanted to ask him, and he said to them, Do ye inquire among yourselves about this, because I said, A little while, and ye do not see me, and, Again a little while, and ye will look at me?

³⁰ Now we know that thou know all things, and have no need that any man should question thee. By this we believe that thou came forth from God.

³ Our father died in the wilderness, and he was not among the company of those who gathered themselves together against LORD in the company of Korah, but he died in his own sin, and he had no sons.

¹ Thus says LORD, Where is the bill of your mother's divorcement, with which I have put her away? Or which of my creditors is it to whom I have sold you? Behold, for your iniquities ye were sold, and for your transgressions your mother was put away.

¹¹ And LORD said to me, Backsliding Israel has shown herself more righteous than treacherous Judah.

¹² And forgive us our debts as we also forgive our debtors.

²³ Because of this the kingdom of the heavens is compared to a man, a king, who wanted to settle account with his bondmen. ²⁴ And when he began to settle, one debtor of ten thousand talents was brought to him. ²⁵ But of him not having to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and his wife and children, and all things, as many as he had, and payment to be made.

²⁸ But after going out, that bondman found one of his fellow bondmen who owed him a hundred denarii. And having grabbed him, he choked him, saying, Pay me if thou owe anything.

⁴⁷ For this reason I say to thee, her many sins are forgiven, because she loved much. But to whom little is forgiven, loves little.

⁴ And forgive us our sins, for we ourselves also forgive every man who is indebted to us. And bring us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

⁴⁸ but he who did not know, and did things worthy of blows, will be beaten little. And to every man to whom much was given, much will be required from him. And to whom they entrust much, they will ask him more abundantly.

⁴ Or those eighteen upon whom the tower in Siloam fell and killed them. Do ye think that these became debtors above all the men who dwell in Jerusalem?

²² If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not have had sin, but now they have no excuse for their sin. ²³ He who hates me hates my Father also. ²⁴ If I had not done among them the works that no other man has done, they would not have had sin, but now they have both seen and hated both me and my Father.

²³ For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God,

²⁰ And the law entered so that the offense might abound. But where sin abounded, grace was more abundant,

¹⁵ Faithful is the saying, and worthy of all acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinful men, of whom I am foremost. ¹⁶ But because of this I obtained mercy, so that in me, the foremost, Jesus Christ might show forth all longsuffering for an example of those who were going to believe in him for eternal life.

⁸ If we say that we have no sin, we lead ourselves astray, and the truth is not in us. ⁹ If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous so that he will forgive us our sins, and cleanse us from every unrighteousness. ¹⁰ If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.

¹ Blessed are those whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered. ² Blessed is the man to whom LORD does not impute sin, and in whose spirit there is no deceit. ³ When I kept silence, my bones wasted away through my groaning all the day long. ⁴ For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me. My moisture was changed as with the drought of summer. Selah. ⁵ I acknowledged my sin to thee, and I did not hide my iniquity. I said, I will confess my transgressions to LORD, and thou forgave the iniquity of my sin. Selah.

⁷ none can by any means redeem his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him ⁸ (for the redemption of their life is costly, and it fails forever),

¹ Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy loving kindness. According to the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions. ² Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin. ³ For I know my transgressions, and my sin is ever before me.

³ who forgives all thine iniquities, who heals all thy diseases,

²⁵ I, even I, am he who blots out thy transgressions for my own sake, and I will not remember thy sins.

²² I have blotted out, as a thick cloud, thy transgressions, and, as a cloud, thy sins. Return to me, for I have redeemed thee.

³³ But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says LORD: I will give my laws into their mind, and I will write them on their hearts. And I will be their God, and they shall be my people. ³⁴ And they shall teach no more every man his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, Know LORD, for they shall all know me, from the least of them to the greatest of them, says LORD. For I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.

¹⁸ O my God, incline thine ear, and hear. Open thine eyes, and behold our desolations, and the city which is called by thy name. For we do not present our supplications before thee for our righteousness, but for thy great mercies' sake. ¹⁹ O Lord, hear. O Lord, forgive. O Lord, hearken and do. Defer not, for thine own sake, O my God, because thy city and thy people are called by thy name.

¹⁸ Who is a God like to thee, who pardons iniquity, and passes over the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? He does not retain his anger forever, because he delights in loving kindness. ¹⁹ He will again have compassion upon us. He will tread our iniquities under foot, and thou will cast all their sins into the depths of the sea. ²⁰ Thou will perform the truth to Jacob, and the loving kindness to Abraham, which thou have sworn to our fathers from the days of old.

²⁵ But of him not having to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and his wife and children, and all things, as many as he had, and payment to be made. ²⁶ The bondman therefore having fallen down, worshiped him, saying, Lord, be patient toward me and I will pay thee all.

³⁴ And having become angry, his lord delivered him to the tormentors until he would pay all that was due to him.

³⁸ Be it known to you therefore, men, brothers, that through this man remission of sins is proclaimed to you. ³⁹ And from all things of which ye could not be make righteous by the law of Moses, in this man every man who believes is made righteous.

²⁴ being made righteous freely by his grace, through the redemption in Christ Jesus,

⁵ But to the man not being employed, but who believes in him who makes the impious man righteous, his faith is reckoned for righteousness. ⁶ Just as David also tells the blessedness of the man to whom God imputes righteousness independent of works, ⁷ saying, Blessed are those whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered. ⁸ Blessed is a man to whom the Lord does, no, not impute sin.

⁶ For while we were yet weak, in due time Christ died for the impious.

¹⁰ For as many as are from works of law are under a curse, for it is written, Cursed is every man who does not continue in all things written in the book of the law, to do them.

⁷ In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of transgressions, according to the wealth of his grace,

³² And become good toward each other, compassionate, forgiving each other, even as also God in Christ forgave us.

¹³ forbearing each other, and forgiving yourselves, if any man has a complaint against any, just as also the Christ forgave you, so also ye,

¹⁶ O LORD, truly I am thy servant. I am thy servant, the son of thy handmaid. Thou have loosed my bonds. ¹⁷ I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call upon the name of LORD. ¹⁸ I will pay my vows to LORD, yea, in the presence of all his people,

³⁴ And when Jesus saw him, that he answered wisely, he said to him, Thou are not far from the kingdom of God. And no man dared to question him any more.

³⁸ And it came to pass as they went, he also entered into a certain village, and a certain woman named Martha received him into her house.

⁹ For I am the least of the apostles, who am not worthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. ¹⁰ But by the grace of God I am what I am. And his grace for me did not become empty, but I labored more abundantly than them all, yet not I, but the grace of God with me.

¹⁴ For the love of Christ holds us together, having judge this, that if one died for all, then all died. ¹⁵ And he died for all so that those who live would no longer live to themselves, but to him who died for them, and was raised.

¹³ the man who was formerly blasphemous, and a persecutor, and an aggressor. But I obtained mercy because I did it being ignorant in unbelief. ¹⁴ And the grace of our Lord was filled to overflowing with the faith and love in Christ Jesus.

² and he said, Behold now, my lords, turn aside, I pray you, into your servant's house, and tarry all night, and wash your feet, and ye shall rise up early, and go on your way. And they said, No, but we will abide in the street all night.

²⁴ And the man brought the men into Joseph's house, and gave them water, and they washed their feet. And he gave their donkeys provender.

²¹ So he brought him into his house, and gave the donkeys fodder. And they washed their feet, and ate and drank.

⁴¹ And she arose, and bowed herself with her face to the earth, and said, Behold, thy handmaid is a servant to wash the feet of the servants of my lord.

¹⁰ being testified in good works: if she has reared children, if she has been hospitable to strangers, if she has washed the feet of the sanctified, if she has relieved those who are afflicted, if she has followed every good work.

⁶ But ye have dishonored the poor man. Do not the rich exploit you, and they themselves drag you into courts?

¹¹ And Jacob kissed Rachel, and lifted up his voice, and wept.

⁴ And Esau ran to meet him, and embraced him, and fell on his neck, and kissed him, and they wept.

⁵ And it was so, that, when any man came near to do him obeisance, he put forth his hand, and took hold of him, and kissed him.

³⁹ And all the people went over the Jordan, and the king went over. And the king kissed Barzillai, and blessed him, and he returned to his own place.

⁴⁸ Now the man who betrayed him gave them a sign, saying, Whomever I may kiss is he. Seize him.

¹⁶ Salute each other by a holy kiss. The congregations of Christ salute you.

²⁰ All the brothers salute you. Salute each other by a holy kiss.

²⁶ Salute all the brothers by a holy kiss.

³ Wash thyself therefore, and anoint thee, and put thy raiment upon thee, and get thee down to the threshing-floor. But do not make thyself known to the man until he shall have done eating and drinking.

² And Joab sent to Tekoa, and fetched from there a wise woman, and said to her, I pray thee, feign thyself to be a mourner, and put on mourning apparel, I pray thee, and do not anoint thyself with oil, but be as a woman who has a long time mourned for the dead.

⁵ Thou prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. Thou have anointed my head with oil. My cup runs over.

¹⁵ and wine that makes glad the heart of man, and oil to make his face to shine, and bread that strengthens man's heart.

³ I ate no pleasant bread. Neither flesh nor wine came into my mouth. Neither did I anoint myself at all, till three whole weeks were fulfilled.

⁶ who drink wine in bowls, and anoint themselves with the chief oils, but they are not grieved for the affliction of Joseph.

¹⁵ Thou shall sow, but shall not reap, thou shall tread the olives, but shall not anoint thee with oil, and the vintage, but shall not drink the wine.

¹⁷ But when thou fast, anoint thy head, and wash thy face,

⁶ And LORD passed by before him, and proclaimed, LORD, LORD, a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness and truth, ⁷ keeping loving kindness for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, and who will by no means clear the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the sons, and upon the sons's sons, upon the third and upon the fourth generation.

¹⁸ Come now, and let us reason together, says LORD, though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow. Though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.

⁷ Let the wicked man forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts. And let him return to LORD, and he will have mercy upon him, and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.

⁶³ that thou may remember, and be confounded, and never open thy mouth any more, because of thy shame, when I have forgiven thee all that thou have done, says the lord LORD.

²⁹ And I will save you from all your uncleannesses. And I will call for the grain, and will multiply it, and lay no famine upon you. ³⁰ And I will multiply the fruit of the tree, and the increase of the field, that ye may no more receive the reproach of famine among the nations. ³¹ Then ye shall remember your evil ways, and your doings that were not good. And ye shall loathe yourselves in your own sight for your iniquities and for your abominations. ³² I do this not for your sake, says the lord LORD; be it known to you. Be ashamed and confounded for your ways, O house of Israel.

¹⁹ He will again have compassion upon us. He will tread our iniquities under foot, and thou will cast all their sins into the depths of the sea.

³⁷ He who loves father or mother above me is not worthy of me, and he who loves son or daughter above me is not worthy of me.

²⁰ And having seen their faith, he said to him, Man, thy sins are forgiven thee. ²¹ And the scholars and the Pharisees began to deliberate, saying, Who is this who speaks blasphemies? Who can forgive sins, except God alone?

⁴² And of them not having to repay, he forgave them both. Which of them therefore, do thou say, will love him more? ⁴³ And having answered, Simon said, I suppose that it was to whom he forgave more. And he said to him, Thou have judged correctly.

¹⁵ So when they ate breakfast, Jesus says to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonah, do thou love me more than these things? He says to him, Yea, Lord. Thou know that I love thee. He says to him, Feed my lambs. ¹⁶ He says to him again a second time, Simon, son of Jonah, do thou love me? He says to him, Yea, Lord. Thou know that I love thee. He says to him, Feed my sheep. ¹⁷ He says to him the third time, Simon, son of Jonah, do thou love me? Peter was grieved because he said to him the third time, Do thou love me? And he said to him, Lord, thou know all things. Thou know that I love thee. Jesus says to him, Feed my sheep.

³¹ God exalted this man with his right hand, a Pathfinder and a Savior to give repentance to Israel and remission of sins.

⁹ Or know ye not that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not led astray. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate men, nor homosexuals, ¹⁰ nor greedy men, nor thieves, nor drunkards, nor the slanderous, nor the predatory will inherit the kingdom of God. ¹¹ And some of you were these things, but ye were washed, but ye were sanctified, but ye were made righteous in the name of the Lord Jesus, and in the Spirit of our God.

¹⁴ For the love of Christ holds us together, having judge this, that if one died for all, then all died.

²⁴ The grace is with all those who love our Lord Jesus Christ with incorruptibility. Truly.

² And behold, they brought to him a paralyzed man who was placed on a bed. And having seen their faith Jesus said to the paralyzed man, Cheer up, child, thy sins have been forgiven thee.

⁵ And having seen their faith, Jesus says to the paralyzed man, Child, thy sins are forgiven thee.

²⁰ And having seen their faith, he said to him, Man, thy sins are forgiven thee.

³ And behold, some of the scholars said within themselves, This man blasphemes.

⁷ Why does this man speak blasphemies this way. Who can forgive sins but one, God?

⁷ Go thy way, eat thy bread with joy, and drink thy wine with a merry heart, for God has already accepted thy works.

⁴ Behold, his soul is puffed up; it is not upright in him. (But the righteous man shall live by his faith.

²² But having turned around and seen her, Jesus said, Cheer up, daughter, thy faith has healed thee. And the woman was healed from that hour.

⁵² And Jesus said to him, Go thou, thy faith has healed thee. And straightaway he received his sight, and followed him on the way.

¹⁸ Notice therefore how ye hear. For whoever has, to him will be given, and whoever has not, even what he seems to have will be taken from him.

⁴⁸ And he said to her, Cheer up, Daughter. Thy faith has healed thee. Go in peace.

⁴² And Jesus said to him, Receive sight. Thy faith has healed thee.

¹ Therefore having been made righteous from faith, we have peace toward God through our Lord Jesus Christ, ² through whom also we have access by faith for this grace in which we stand, and we take pride in hope of the glory of God.

⁸ For ye are saved by grace through faith, and this a gift of God, not from you, ⁹ not from works, so that not any man may boast. ¹⁰ For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God preordained that we should walk in them.

¹⁴ What is the benefit, my brothers, if some man should say to have faith, but has no works? Can the faith save him? ¹⁵ And if a brother or sister may be unclothed, and may be destitute of daily food, ¹⁶ and some man of you would say to them, Go in peace, be ye warmed and fed, but ye would not give them the things necessary for the body, what is the benefit? ¹⁷ So also faith, if it has no works, is dead by itself. ¹⁸ But some man will say, Thou have faith, and I have works. Show me thy faith from thy works, and I will show thee from my works my faith. ¹⁹ Thou believe that there is one God, thou do well. The demons also believe, and shudder. ²⁰ But do thou want to know, O vain man, that faith apart from works is dead? ²¹ Was not Abraham our father made righteous from works, having offered up Isaac his son upon the altar? ²² Thou see that faith was working with his works, and from the works, faith was fully perfected. ²³ And the scripture was fulfilled, which says, And Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him for righteousness, and he was called a friend of God. ²⁴ Ye see therefore that from works a man is made righteous, and not from faith only. ²⁵ And likewise also was not Rahab the harlot made righteous from works, having received the agents, and having sent them out another way? ²⁶ For as the body without a spirit is dead, so also faith without the works is dead.
