²⁶ But what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I say to you, and much more than a prophet.

²⁶ But what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I say to you, and much more than a prophet. ²⁷ This is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way be fore thee.

²⁷ This is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way be fore thee.

²⁷ This is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way be fore thee. ²⁸ For I say to you, Among those born of women, there is no prophet greater than John the Immerser. But the least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.

²⁸ For I say to you, Among those born of women, there is no prophet greater than John the Immerser. But the least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.

²⁸ For I say to you, Among those born of women, there is no prophet greater than John the Immerser. But the least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he. ²⁹ And all the people, and the publicans that heard him, vindicated God, by being immersed with the immersion of John;

²⁹ And all the people, and the publicans that heard him, vindicated God, by being immersed with the immersion of John;

²⁹ And all the people, and the publicans that heard him, vindicated God, by being immersed with the immersion of John; ³⁰ but the Pharisees and the lawyers rejected the counsel of God in regard to themselves, by not being immersed by him.

³⁰ but the Pharisees and the lawyers rejected the counsel of God in regard to themselves, by not being immersed by him. ³¹ To what, then, shall I compare the men of this generation? and to what are they like? ³² They are like children sitting in the market-place, who call to one another, and say, We have played on the pipe for you, and you have not danced; we have sung mournful songs for you, and you have not lamented. ³³ For John the Immerser came, neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and you say, He has a demon. ³⁴ The Son of man has come, eating and drinking, and you say, Behold, a gluttonous man and a drinker of wine, a friend of publicans and sinners.

³⁴ The Son of man has come, eating and drinking, and you say, Behold, a gluttonous man and a drinker of wine, a friend of publicans and sinners. ³⁵ Yet wisdom is vindicated by all her children.

³⁵ Yet wisdom is vindicated by all her children. ³⁶ And one of the Pharisees invited him to eat with him. And he went into the house of the Pharisee, and reclined at table.

¹ And it came to pass afterward, that he went through every city and village, preaching, and making known the good news of the kingdom of God; and the twelve were with him;

⁸ And other seed fell into good ground, and sprung up, and produced fruit a hundred-fold. When he had said these things, he cried: He that has ears to hear, let him hear.

¹⁸ Take heed, therefore, how you hear; for whoever has, to him shall be given; and whoever has not, even that which he seems to have shall be taken from him.

³⁵ And they came out to see what had been done; and they came to Jesus, and saw the man out of whom the demons had gone, clothed, and in his right mind, sitting at the feet of Jesus; and they were afraid.

¹⁰ And the apostles returned, and told him all "that they had done. And he took them, and withdrew privately to a desert place, that belonged to a city called Bethsaida.

⁴⁸ and said to them: Whoever will receive this little child on my account, receives me; and whoever will receive me, receives him that sent me. For he that is least among you all, the same shall be great.

⁵¹ And it came to pass, as the time for him to be taken up into heaven had fully come, that he set his face steadfastly to go up to Jerusalem. ⁵² And he sent messengers before his face; and they went, and entered a village of the Samaritans, to prepare for him. ⁵³ And they did not receive him, because his face was turned toward Jerusalem. ⁵⁴ And when his disciples James and John saw this, they said: Lord, is it thy will that we command fire to come down from heaven and destroy them, even as Elijah did? ⁵⁵ But he turned and rebuked them, and said: You know not of what spirit you are. ⁵⁶ And they went to another village.

¹² I say to you, It shall be more tolerable, in that day, for Sodom, than for that city. ¹³ Alas for thee, Chorazin! alas for thee, Bethsaida! for, if the mighty works which have been done in you, had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes. ¹⁴ But for Tyre and Sidon it shall be more tolerable in the judgment, than for you.

¹⁴ But for Tyre and Sidon it shall be more tolerable in the judgment, than for you. ¹⁵ And thou, Capernaum, who hast been exalted to heaven, shalt be brought down to hades.

²¹ In that hour Jesus rejoiced in spirit, and said: I thank thee, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them to babes; even so, Father, for so it seemed good in thy sight.

²¹ In that hour Jesus rejoiced in spirit, and said: I thank thee, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them to babes; even so, Father, for so it seemed good in thy sight. ²² All things are delivered to me by my Father; and no one knows who the Son is but the Father, and who the Father is but the Son, and he to whom the Son will reveal him.

²² All things are delivered to me by my Father; and no one knows who the Son is but the Father, and who the Father is but the Son, and he to whom the Son will reveal him. ²³ And he turned to his disciples, and said privately: Blessed are the eyes that see what you see. ²⁴ For I say to you, that many prophets and kings desired to see what you see, and did not see; and to hear what you hear, and did not hear.

³⁹ And she had a sister called Mary, who also sat at the feet of Jesus, and heard his word. ⁴⁰ But Martha made herself busy with much serving; and she came to him, and said: Lord, dost thou not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Bid her, therefore, that she help me. ⁴¹ But Jesus answered and said to her: Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled about many things: ⁴² one thing is needful; and Mary has chosen the good part, which shall not be taken from her.

²⁷ And it came to pass, that, when he said these things, a certain woman from among the multitude lifted up her voice, and said to him: Blessed is the womb that bore thee, and the breasts that thou didst suck. ²⁸ And he said: Yes, rather blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it.

⁴² But alas for you, Pharisees! for you tithe mint and rue and every herb, and pass by the justice and the love of God; these you ought to have done, and those you ought not to have left undone. ⁴³ Alas for you, Pharisees! for you love the chief seat in the synagogues, and greetings in the markets. ⁴⁴ Alas for you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for you are like graves that are not seen; and men that walk over them know it not. ⁴⁵ And one of the lawyers answered and said to him: Teacher, in saying these things, you reproach us also. ⁴⁶ He replied: Alas for you, lawyers, also! for you bind upon men burdens hard to be borne, and you yourselves touch not the burdens with one of your fingers, ⁴⁷ Alas for you! for you build the sepulchers of the prophets, and your fathers killed them. ⁴⁸ Therefore you attest and approve the deeds of your fathers; for they indeed killed them, and you build their sepulchers. ⁴⁹ For this reason also the Wisdom of God said: I will send them prophets and apostles, and some of them they will kill, and persecute, ⁵⁰ that the blood of all the prophets, which has been shed from the foundation of the world, may be required of this generation; ⁵¹ from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zachariah, who perished between the altar and the temple; yes, I say to you, It shall be required of this generation. ⁵² Alas for you, lawyers! for you have taken away the key of knowledge; you did not go in yourselves, and those who were entering in, you prevented.

⁴⁷ And that servant who knew his lord's will, but made no preparation, nor did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes; ⁴⁸ but he that knew not, and did things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few. To whomever much has been given, of him shall much be required; and to whom men have intrusted much, of him will they ask the more.

¹⁸ Then he said: To what is the kingdom of God like; and to what shall I liken it?

²⁴ Strive to enter in through the strait gate; for many, I say to you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able.

¹ And it came to pass, that he went, on the sabbath day, into the house of one of the chief men of the Pharisees, to eat bread; and they watched him.

¹¹ For every one that exalts himself shall Le humbled; and he that humbles himself shall be exalted.

³⁵ It is fit neither for earth, nor for manure; but they cast it out. He that has ears to hear, let him hear.

¹ And all the publicans and the sinners came near to him to hear him. ² And the Pharisees and the scribes murmured, saying: This man receives sinners, and eats with them.

²⁵ But his elder son was in the field; and as he came and drew near to the house, he heard music and dancing.

¹⁶ The law and the prophets were till John. Since that time, the kingdom of God is preached, and every one enters it by force.

²³ and in hades he lifted up his eyes, being in torments, and saw Abraham afar off, and Lazarus iii his bosom.

⁷ And when they saw it, they all murmured, saying: He has gone to be guest with a man that is a sinner.

³⁸ saying: Blessed is the king that comes in the name of the Lord; peace in heaven, and glory in the highest.

⁴² saying: Father, if thou art willing that this cup should pass from me yet, not my will, but thine be done.

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 the words that I spoke to you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled that are written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me.

¹⁵ John testified of him, and cried, saying: This is he of whom I said: He that comes after me, is now before me, for he existed before me.

¹⁸ No one has seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, he has revealed him.

²¹ And they asked him: What then? Are you Elijah? And he said: I am not. Are you the prophet? And he answered: No. ²² They then said to him: Who are you? that we may give an answer to those who sent us; what say you of yourself? ²³ He said: I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord; as said the prophet Isaiah.

²³ He said: I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord; as said the prophet Isaiah.

²⁷ He it is, who, though he comes after me, is now before me; the strap of whose sandal I am not worthy to loose.

³⁸ And Jesus turned, and saw them following, and said to them:

⁴⁴ The day following, Jesus wished to go into Galilee; and he found Philip, and said to him: Follow me.

² And both Jesus and his disciples were invited to the marriage.

²³ And while he was in Jerusalem, during the feast of passover, many believed on his name, because they saw the signs that he did.

² This man came to Jesus by night, and said to him: Rabbi, we know that thou hast come as a teacher from God; for no man can do these signs which thou doest, unless God be with him.

⁵ Jesus answered: Verily, verily I say to you, unless a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he can not enter into the kingdom of God. ⁶ That which is begotten of the flesh, is flesh; and that which is begotten of the Spirit, is spirit. ⁷ Wonder not that I said to you, you must all be born again, ⁸ The Spirit breathes where he pleases, and you hear his voice, but you know not whence he comes, and whither he goes; so is every one that is begotten of the Spirit. ⁹ Nicodemus answered and said to him: How can these things be? ¹⁰ Jesus answered and said to him: Are you the teacher of Israel, and do not understand these things?

²⁴ for John had not yet been thrown into prison. ²⁵ There arose, therefore, a dispute between some of John's disciples and a Jew, about purification. ²⁶ And they came to John, and said to him: Rabbi, he who was with you beyond the Jordan, to whom you bore testimony, behold, he immerses, and all are going to him. ²⁷ John answered and said: A man can receive nothing unless it be given to him from heaven. ²⁸ You yourselves will testify for me, that I said, I am not the Christ, but that I am sent before him.

³⁰ He must increase, but I must decrease.

³⁵ The Father loves the Son, and has given all things into his hand.

¹ When, therefore, the Lord knew that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus was making and immersing more disciples than John,

²¹ Jesus said to her: Woman, believe me, the hour is coming, when neither in this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, will you worship the Father.

⁴⁶ Then Jesus came again into Cana of Galilee, where he had made the water wine. And there was a certain courtier, whose sou was sick in Capernaum. ⁴⁷ When he heard that Jesus had come from Judea into Galilee, he went to him, and besought him that he would come down, and restore his son to health, for he was about to die. ⁴⁸ Then said Jesus to him: Unless you see signs and wonders, you will not believe. ⁴⁹ The courtier said to him: Sir, come down before my child die. ⁵⁰ Jesus said to him: Go, your child lives. And the man believed the word that Jesus spoke, and departed. ⁵¹ And as he was going down, his servants met him, and said: Your son lives. ⁵² Then he inquired of them the hour in which he was restored to health. And they said to him: Yesterday, at the seventh hour, the fever left him. ⁵³ Then his father knew that it was in the same hour in which Jesus said to him, Your son lives. And he himself, and all his house, believed. ⁵⁴ This is the second sign which Jesus did, when he came out of Judea into Galilee.

²¹ For as the Father raises the dead, and makes them alive, so also the Son makes alive whom he will. ²² For the Father judges no one, but has given all judicial authority to the Son; 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 on him that sent me, has eternal life, and comes not into condemnation, but has passed from death into life. ²⁵ Verily, verily I say to you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear, shall live. ²⁶ For as the Father has life in himself, so has he given to the Son also to have life in himself; ²⁷ and he has given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man. ²⁸ Be not astonished at this; for the hour is coming in which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, ²⁹ and shall come forth; those who have done good, to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of condemnation.

³⁵ He was the burning and shining lamp; and you were willing, for a time, to rejoice in his light. ³⁶ But I have testimony greater than that of John; for the works which the Father has given me to finish, these very works which I do, testify concerning me, that the Father has sent me.

⁴⁶ For if you had believed Moses, you would have believed me; for he wrote of me. ⁴⁷ But if you believe not his writings, how shall you believe my words?

¹⁴ Then the men, after having seen the sign which Jesus did, said: This is, in truth, the prophet that was to come into the world.

²⁷ Labor not for the food that perishes, but for the food that endures to life eternal, which the Son of man will give you; for him has God the Father at tested.

³⁷ All that the Father gives me, will come to me; and him that comes to me, I will by no means cast out.

⁴⁶ Not that any one has seen the Father, but he who is from God; he has seen the Father.

⁶⁰ Therefore, many of his disciples, when they heard him, said: This is a hard saying; who can hear it? ⁶¹ But Jesus, knowing in himself that his disciples murmured at it, said to them: Does this offend you?

⁶⁶ After this, many of his disciples went back, and walked with him no more.

²⁰ The multitude answered and said: You have a demon: who seeks to kill you?

²⁹ But I know him, because I am from him, and he has sent me.

³¹ And many of the multitude believed on him, and said: When the Christ comes, will he do more signs than these which this man has done?

³⁷ On 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.

³⁹ But this he spoke of the Spirit, which those who believe on him were about to receive; for the Holy Spirit had not yet been given, because Jesus had not yet been glorified.

⁴¹ Others said: This is the Christ. But others said: Does the Christ come out of Galilee? ⁴² Has not the scripture said that the Christ comes from the posterity of David, and from Bethlehem, the town where David was?

⁴⁸ Has any one of the rulers, or of the Pharisees believed on him? ⁴⁹ But this multitude that know not the law are cursed.

⁴⁸ The Jews answered, and said to him: Do we not well say that you are a Samaritan, and have a demon?

³⁹ And Jesus said: For judgment have I come into this world, that those who see not, may see; and that those who see, may become blind. ⁴⁰ And some of the Pharisees who were with him, heard these things, and said to him: Are we also blind? ⁴¹ Jesus said to them: If you were blind, you would not have sin; but now you say, We see; therefore your sin remains.

¹⁵ As the Father knows me, I also know the Father, and I lay down my life for the sheep.

²⁰ And many of them said: He has a demon, and is mad; why do you hear him?

²⁵ Jesus answered them: I have told you, and you do not believe. The works which I do in my Father's name, these testify of me.

³⁸ but if I do, though you believe not me, believe the works, that you may know and believe that the Father is in me, and I in him.

⁴¹ And many came to him, and said: John did no sign; but all things that John said of this man were true.

²⁷ She said to him: Yes, Lord; I believe that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, who was to come into the world.

⁴¹ Then they took away the stone. And Jesus lifted -up his eyes and said: Father, I thank thee, that thou hast heard me.

⁴³ And when he had said these things, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth. ⁴⁴ And he that had been dead came forth, bound hand and foot with grave-clothes; and his face was bound around with a handkerchief. Jesus said to them: Loose him, and let him go.

² There they made him a supper, and Martha served; but Lazarus was one of those who reclined at table with him. ³ Then Mary took a pound of ointment of pure nard, very costly, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair. And the house was filled with the perfume of the ointment. ⁴ Then said one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon, who was about to deliver him up: ⁵ Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred denarii, and given to the poor? ⁶ But he said this, not because he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief, and had the purse, and took what was put in it. ⁷ Then Jesus said: Let her alone; she has kept this for the day of my burial. ⁸ For the poor you have always with you; but me you have not always.

¹³ took branches of palm-trees, and went out to meet him, and cried: Hosanna, blessed is the king of Israel that comes in the name of the Lord.

²¹ These then came to Philip, who was of Bethsaida of Galilee, and asked him, saying: Sir, we wish to see Jesus.

³⁸ that the word of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spoke: Lord, who has believed our report? and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed? ³⁹ For this reason they could not believe, because Isaiah said again: ⁴⁰ He has blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart, lest they should see with their eyes, and understand with their heart, and should turn, and I should give them health.

³ Jesus, knowing that the Father had delivered all things into his hands, and that he had come from God, and was going to God,

¹⁵ For I have given you an example, that you also may do as I have done for you.

¹⁷ If you know these things, blessed are you, if you do them.

⁶ Jesus said to him: I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father, but through me. ⁷ If you had known me, you would have known my Father also. And from this time you know him, and have seen him. ⁸ Philip said to him: Lord, show us the Father, and we shall be content. ⁹ Jesus said to him: Have I been so long with you, and have you not known me, Philip? He that has seen me, has seen the Father; and how say you, Show us the Father?

¹¹ Believe me, that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in me. If not, believe me on account of the works themselves. ¹² Verily, verily I say to you, he that believes on me, the works that I do he also shall do. Even greater works than these shall he do, because I go to my Father;

²¹ He that has my commandments and keeps them, he it is that loves me; and he that loves me shall be loved by my Father; and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him. ²² Judas, not Iscariot, said to him: Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself to us, and not to the world? ²³ Jesus answered and said to him: If any one loves me, he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him, and make our abode with him. ²⁴ He that loves me not, keeps not my words; and the word which you hear is not mine, but the Father's who sent me.

¹⁰ If you keep my commandments, you shall abide in my love, even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love.

¹⁰ If you keep my commandments, you shall abide in my love, even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love. ¹¹ These things have I spoken to you, that my joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be full. ¹² This is my commandment: That you love one another, as I have loved you. ¹³ Greater love has no man than this, that one should lay down his life for his friends. ¹⁴ You are my friends, if you do whatever I command you.

¹⁴ You are my friends, if you do whatever I command you.

¹² I have yet many things to say to you; but you can not bear them now.

¹⁴ He will glorify me; for he will take of mine, and show it to you.

³³ These things I have spoken to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you shall have affliction, but be of good courage; I have overcome the world.

² as thou hast given him authority over all flesh, that he may give eternal life to all that thou hast given him. ³ And this is life eternal, to know thee, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom thou has sent.

⁶ I have made known thy name to the men that thou gavest me out of the world. Thine they were, and thou gavest them, to me, and they have kept thy word.

²⁵ Righteous Father, though the world has not known thee, yet I have known thee, and these have known that thou hast sent me. ²⁶ And I have made known to them thy name, and will continue to make it known, that the love with which thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them.

² till the day on which he was taken up, after he had, through the Holy Spirit, given commandments to the apostles whom he had chosen.

²² Men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus the Nazarene, clearly pointed out to you as a man from God, by mighty deeds and wonders and signs, which God did by him in your midst, as you yourselves also know,

²⁷ because thou wilt not leave my soul in hades, nor suffer thy Holy One to see corruption.

² And a certain man, lame from his mother's womb, was carried along, whom they laid daily at that gate of the temple which is called Beautiful, that he might ask charity of those who were going into the temple. ³ This man, seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple, asked charity. ⁴ But Peter, fixing his eyes on him with John, said: Look on us. ⁵ And he gave heed to them, expecting to receive something from them. ⁶ But Peter said: Silver and gold I have none: but what I have, this I give you. In the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, arise and walk. ⁷ And he took him by his right hand and raised him up: and immediately his feet and ankles received strength. ⁸ And leaping up, he stood and walked, and went with them into the temple, walking and leaping and praising God.

²² For Moses said to the fathers, A prophet like me shall the Lord your God raise up for you from among your brethren; him shall you hear in all things that he shall say to you.

²² For Moses said to the fathers, A prophet like me shall the Lord your God raise up for you from among your brethren; him shall you hear in all things that he shall say to you. ²³ And it shall come to pass, that every soul that will not hear that prophet, shall be destroyed from among the people.

²³ And it shall come to pass, that every soul that will not hear that prophet, shall be destroyed from among the people. ²⁴ And all the prophets, from Samuel and those that follow after, as many as have spoken, have also foretold these days.

⁹ if we are this day examined with respect unto the good deed done to the infirm man, by what means he has been saved, ¹⁰ be it known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead, by him does this man stand before you in health.

³⁷ This is that Moses, who said to the sons of Israel, A prophet like me will the Lord your God raise up for you from among your brethren; him shall you hear.

³⁸ how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit, and with power; who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed by the devil; for God was with him.

⁴² And he commanded us to preach to the people, and to testify that this is he who has been appointed by God as the judge of the living and the dead.

²⁰ And he was intending to make war upon the Tyrians and Sidonians; but they came with one consent to him; and having made Blastus, who had charge of the king's bed-chamber, their friend, they asked for peace, because their country was supported by that of the king.

²⁷ For those who dwell in Jerusalem, and their rulers, be cause they did not know him, nor the words of the prophets, which are read every sabbath-day, have fulfilled them in condemning him.

⁴⁴ And on the next sabbath-day, almost the whole city met together to hear the word of God. ⁴⁵ But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with envy, and spoke against those things which were spoken by Paul, contradicting and reviling. ⁴⁶ But Paul and Barnabas, speaking boldly, said: It was necessary that the word of God should be spoken to you first: but since you reject it, and judge yourselves unworthy of eternal life, lo! we turn to tho Gentiles. ⁴⁷ For thus has the Lord given us commandment: I have placed thee for a light to the Gentiles, that thou mayest be for salvation to the most distant part of the earth. ⁴⁸ When the Gentiles heard this they rejoiced, and glorified the word of the Lord; and as many as were determined to obtain eternal life, believed.

⁸ And there was a certain man in Lystra, without strength in his feet, who sat, for he was a cripple from his mother's womb, and had never walked. ⁹ This man heard Paul speak, who, looking earnestly on him, and seeing that he had faith to be saved, ¹⁰ said, with a loud voice: Stand erect upon your feet. And he leaped and walked.

¹⁰ Now, therefore, why do you put God to the proof, by placing a yoke upon the neck of the disciples, which neither our fathers, nor we ourselves, were able to bear?

²⁸ For it has seemed good to the Holy Spirit, and to us, to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things:

²⁰ For you bring some strange things to our ears: we wish to understand then what these things mean.

²⁴ God, who made the world, and all things that are in it, being Lord of heaven and earth, dwells not in temples made with hands;

¹ And it came to pass, while Apollos was at Corinth, that Paul, after passing through the upper districts, came to Ephesus, and finding certain disciples, ² said to them: Have you received the Holy Spirit since you believed? They said to him: We have not only not received it, but we have not even heard whether the Holy Spirit is given. ³ And he said to them: Into what, then, were you immersed? They replied: Into John's immersion.

²⁴ And as he spoke these things in his defense, Festus said, with a loud voice; Paul, you are mad; much learning drives you to madness.

³ On the next day, we touched at Sidon; and Julius treated Paul with kindness, and permitted him to go to his friends, and receive their attentions.

²⁵ And not agreeing among themselves, they departed, after Paul had spoken one word: Well did the Holy Spirit speak to our fathers by Isaiah the prophet, ²⁶ saying: Go to this people and say, You shall surely hear, but you will not understand; and you shall surely see, but you will not perceive. ²⁷ For the heart of this people has become fat, and with their ears they hear heavily, and their eyes they have closed, lest they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and should turn, and I should restore them to health. ²⁸ Therefore, be it known to you, that the salvation of God is sent to the Gentiles, and they will hear.

²¹ But now, God's plan of justifying men without law is revealed, being attested by the law and the prophets;

²² For, in the inward man, I delight in the law of God: ²³ but I perceive another law in my members, at war with the law of my mind, and making me a captive to the law of sin, which is in my members. ²⁴ Wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body that subjects me to death? ²⁵ I thank God that I shall be delivered through Jesus Christ our Lord. Therefore, I my self, with the mind, serve the law of God, but with the flesh, the law of sin.

¹⁸ Therefore, he has mercy on whom he wills to have mercy: and whom he wills to harden, he hardens.

³² And why? Because they sought it not by faith, but as if by works of law: for they stumbled against that stone of stumbling, ³³ as it is written: Behold, I lay in Zion a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offense: and whoever believes on him, shall not be ashamed.

⁸ as it is written: God has given them a spirit of stupor, eyes with which they can not see, and ears with which they can not hear. ⁹ And David says: Let their table become a trap, and a net, and a snare, and a recompense to them; ¹⁰ let their eyes be darkened, so that they may not see, and let them bow down their back always.

³³ the depth of the riches, both of the wisdom and of the knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out! ³⁴ For who has known the mind of the Lord? Or, who has been his counsellor? ³⁵ Or, who has first given to him, and received from him a recompense? ³⁶ For from him, and by him, and for him, are all things. To him be glory through the ages! Amen.

² Let each one of us please his neighbor in that which is good for his edification.

²⁵ Now to him who is able to strengthen you according to my gospel, even the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery which was concealed during the times of the ages, ²⁶ but is now made manifest, and through the scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the eternal God, made known among all nations for the obedience of faith,

¹⁸ For the preaching of the cross is to those who perish, foolishness; but to us who are saved, it is the power of God. ¹⁹ For it is written: I will destroy the wisdom of the wise; and I will set aside the understanding of the prudent. ²⁰ Where is the wise man? Where is the scribe? Where is the disputer of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of- this world? ²¹ For, since in the wisdom of God, the world, by its wisdom, knew not God, it has pleased God, through the foolishness of what is preached, to save those who believe. ²² For the Jews ask for a sign, and the Greeks seek for wisdom;

²² For the Jews ask for a sign, and the Greeks seek for wisdom; ²³ but we preach Christ crucified; to the Jews, indeed, a stumbling-block, and to the Greeks, foolishness:

²³ but we preach Christ crucified; to the Jews, indeed, a stumbling-block, and to the Greeks, foolishness: ²⁴ but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ, the power of God, and the wisdom of God. ²⁵ For the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men. ²⁶ For you see your calling, brethren, that not many wise men according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble call you; ²⁷ but God has chosen the foolish things of the world, that he may bring to shame the wise; and the weak things of the world has God chosen, that he may put to shame the strong; ²⁸ and the ignoble things of the world, and the things that are despised, has God chosen, and the things that are not, that he might bring to nought things that are; ²⁹ that no flesh should glory in his presence.

⁶ Yet we speak wisdom among the perfect; but not the wisdom of this age, nor of the rulers of this age, who are brought to nought: ⁷ but we speak God's wisdom in a mystery, even that which had been hidden, which God predestined before the ages, for our glory, ⁸ which none of the rulers of this age knew; for, had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of Glory.

¹⁴ But an animal man receives not the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him, and he can not know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

² I fed you with milk, not with meat; for you were not then able to bear it; indeed, not even now are you able;

¹⁸ Let no one deceive himself: if any one among you is considered as wise in this age, let him become a fool, that he may be wise. ¹⁹ For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God; for it is written: He takes the wise in their own craftiness. ²⁰ And again: The Lord knows the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain.

¹¹ Even to this present hour we both hunger and thirst, and are poorly clothed, and are maltreated, and wander about without a home,

⁴ If, then, you have controversies pertaining to things of this life, set them to judge who are the least esteemed in the church.

¹⁹ For, though I am free from all men, yet have I made my self a servant to all, that I may gain the more. ²⁰ And to the Jews, I became as a Jew, that I might gain the Jews: to those who are under law, as under law, (not being myself under law,) that I might gain those who are under law; ²¹ to those who are without law, as without law, (not being myself without law to God, but under law to Christ,) that I might gain those who are without law:

²¹ to those who are without law, as without law, (not being myself without law to God, but under law to Christ,) that I might gain those who are without law: ²² to the weak I became like one who was weak, that I might gain the weak: I have become all things to all men, that I may, by all means, save some. ²³ And this I do for the gospel's sake, that I may share its benefits with you.

²⁷ but I put my body under severe discipline, and bring it into subjection, lest, after I have preached to others, I myself should be rejected.

⁹ For I am the least of the apostles, and I am not worthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.

²⁵ for he must reign till he has put all enemies under his feet. ²⁶ The last enemy, Death, shall be destroyed. ²⁷ For he has put all things under his feet. But when the scripture says, that all things are put under him, it is evident that he is excepted, who did put all things under him.

⁴ who con soles us in all our afflictions, so that we are able to comfort those who are in any affliction, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God. ⁵ For as the sufferings for the Christ abound in us, so also through Christ abounds our consolation.

¹⁷ In forming this purpose, did I, therefore, behave with levity? or do I purpose what I purpose, according to the flesh, that there may be with me, yes yes, and no, no? ¹⁸ But God is true; for our preaching to you was not yes and no:

¹⁴ But their minds were blinded: for till this day, in the reading of the old covenant, the same vail remains not taken away, which vail is removed in Christ.

³ But if our gospel is vailed, it is vailed among the lost, ⁴ whose unbelieving minds the god of this age has darkened, so that the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should not shine to them. ⁵ For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord, and ourselves your servants, for Jesus sake. ⁶ Because God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, has shined in our hearts, to give the light of the glorious knowledge of God in the person of Jesus Christ.

¹⁷ For our present light affliction works out for us an eternal fullness of glory, excelling all excellence, ls while we look not at the things that are seen, but at the things that are not seen: for the things seen are temporal; but the things not seen are eternal.

¹ Now I, the same Paul, who, when present among you, am timid, but when absent, am bold toward you, entreat you, by the mildness and gentleness of Christ;

⁵ overthrowing reasonings and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, and leading captive every thought to the obedience of the Christ,

²⁷ in weariness and in toil, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness:

⁹ and he said to me: My grace is sufficient for you; for my power is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly, therefore, will I boast in my infirmities, that the power of the Christ may abide upon me. ¹⁰ For this reason, I take pleasure in infirmities, in outrages, in necessities, in persecutions, in straits, for Christ's sake. For when I am weak, then am I strong.

¹ Stand firm, therefore, in the freedom with which Christ has made us free, and be not held fast again in the yoke of bondage.

¹¹ But, brethren, if I yet preach circumcision, why am I yet persecuted? Then, the offense of the cross has ceased.

¹⁸ But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under law.

⁹ by making known to us the mystery of his will according to his good purpose which he had before established in himself,

¹¹ in him in whom we have obtained our portion, having been predestinated according to the purpose of him who works all things according to the counsel of his will,

²⁰ which he made active in the Christ when he raised him from the dead, and caused him to sit at his right hand in the heavenly places, ²¹ high above every principality and authority and power and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age, but also in that which is to come; ²² and subjected all things under his feet, and made him head over all things for the church, ²³ which is his body, the fullness of him who fills all his members with all things,

³ among whom also we all formerly lived in the desires of our flesh, doing the will of the flesh and of the feelings, and were by nature children of wrath, even as others:

⁸ to me, who am by far the least of all the saints, has this grace been given, that I might preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of the Christ,

⁸ to me, who am by far the least of all the saints, has this grace been given, that I might preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of the Christ, ⁹ and enlighten all men with respect to the plan of the mystery, which was concealed from the ages in God, who created all things; ¹⁰ to the end that the manifold wisdom of God might now be made known, through the church, to the principalities and authorities in the heavenly regions, ¹¹ according to the arrangement of the ages, which he established by Christ Jesus our Lord,

¹⁴ that we might no longer be children, tossed and carried about by every wind of teaching, through the artifice of men, through craftiness used by them for the deliberate planning of deceit;

²⁰ But you have not so learned the Christ, ²¹ if, indeed, you have heard of him, and been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus:

¹¹ Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand firm against the wiles of the devil: ¹² for our conflict is not with flesh and blood, but with the principalities, with the authorities, with the rulers of the darkness of this world, with the wicked spirits in the heavenly regions. ¹³ Therefore, take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand them in the evil day, and having overcome them all, to stand firm.

⁵ Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus,

⁷ but he divested himself by taking the form of a servant, and being made in the likeness of men: ⁸ and being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient even to death, the death, indeed, of the cross.

¹⁰ that in the name of Jesus every knee should bow of those who are in heaven, and those who are on earth, and those who are under the earth; ¹¹ and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. ¹² So, then, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling;

¹³ I am able to do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

²⁶ the mystery which was concealed from the ages and the generations, but is now made manifest to his saints, ²⁷ to whom God would make known what is the glorious riches of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory,

² For you know what commandments we gave you by our Lord Jesus.

⁷ and to you that are afflicted, rest with us, at the revelation of our Lord Jesus from heaven with his mighty angels, ⁸ in flaming fire, to take vengeance on those who know not God, and who obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ;

¹³ But we are bound to give thanks to God always for you, brethren, beloved of the Lord, because God did, from the beginning, choose you to salvation, by sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth, ¹⁴ "to which he called you by our gospel, in order that you might obtain the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

⁶ Now we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you withdraw from every brother that walks disorderly, and not according to the tradition which he received from us.

¹⁰ For when we were with you, we gave you this commandment, that if any one will not work, neither let him eat.

¹⁴ that you keep this commandment, so that you may be spotless and blameless till the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ,

⁹ who has saved us, and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus be fore the times of the ages, ¹⁰ but is now made manifest by the appearing of our Savior Jesus Christ, who has deprived death of its power, and brought life and incorruptibility to light through the gospel;

²⁵ in meekness instructing those who oppose themselves, if, possibly, God may give them repentance in order to the acknowledgment of the truth, ²⁶ and that they may awake to sobriety out of the snare of the devil, after having been taken captive by him according to his will.

³ how shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation? which at first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed to us by those who heard him;

⁸ thou hast put all things under his feet. For, in putting all things under him, he left nothing that is not put under him: but now we do not yet see all things put under him. ⁹ But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels, that he might, by the grace of God, taste death for every man- we see him, on account of his having suffered death, crowned with glory and honor. ¹⁰ For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons to glory, to make the author of their salvation perfect through sufferings.

¹ Let us fear, therefore, lest, as a promise of entering into his rest still remains, any of you should seem to come short of it.

³ For we who have believed are to enter into rest, as he said: So I swore in my anger, they shall not enter into my rest; namely, that rest from his works which had been finished from the foundation of the world. ⁴ For he spoke in a certain place of the seventh day, thus: And God did rest on the seventh day from all his works; ⁵ and in this place again: They shall not enter into my rest. ⁶ Since, then, it remains that some must enter into it, and they, to whom the good news was first preached, did not enter in on account of unbelief, ⁷ again, he determines a certain day, saying in David, after so long a time, To-day, as it is said, To day, if you will hear his voice, harden not your hearts. ⁸ For if Joshua had given them rest, he would not, after this, have spoken of another day. ⁹ There remains, therefore, a sabbath state for the people of God. ¹⁰ For he that has entered into his rest, he also has ceased from his own works, as God did from his. ¹¹ Let us earnestly strive, therefore, to enter into that rest, lest any one fall after the same example of unbelief.

⁹ and, having been made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation to all that obey him,

⁴ For it is impossible to renew again to repentance those who have once been enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and have been made partakers of the Holy Spirit, ⁵ and have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the coming age, ⁶ if they fall away; since they again crucify in themselves the Son of God, and put him to an open shame. ⁷ For the land which drinks up the rain that comes often upon it, and produces herbs suitable for those for whom it is cultivated, receives blessing from God. ⁸ But that which produces thorns and thistles is rejected, and is near the curse, the end of which is to be burned.

²⁶ For if we sin willfully, after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remains no longer a sacrifice for sins; ²⁷ but a certain fearful looking for of judgment, and a fiery indignation which will devour the adversaries. ²⁸ He that despised Moses law, died without mercy, on the testimony of two or three witnesses: ²⁹ of how much severer punishment do you think he shall be thought worthy, who has trodden under foot the Son of God, and has counted the blood of the covenant, with which he was sanctified, a common thing, and has done despite to the Spirit of grace? ³⁰ For we know him who has said, Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord. And again, The Lord will judge his people. ³¹ It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

³⁷ For yet a very, very little while, and He that comes will come, and will not delay.

⁴⁰ because God had provided some better thing for us, that they, without us, should not be made perfect.

⁵ Now, if any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally, and upbraids not; and it shall be given him. ⁶ But let him ask in faith, doubting not: for he that doubts, is like a wave of the sea, driven by the wind, and tossed.

⁵ Hear, my be loved brethren: Has not God chosen the poor of this world, rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which God has promised to those who love him?

¹⁰ Concerning which salvation the prophets that prophesied of the grace that should be for you, did inquire, and search diligently,

⁸ and a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offense to the disobedient, who stumble at the word because they are disobedient, to which stumbling they were also appointed.

²¹ To this, indeed, you have been called; because even Christ suffered for us, leaving you an example, that you should follow his footsteps. ²² He did no sin, nor was guile found in his mouth. ²³ When he was reviled, he did not revile again; when he suffered, he did not threaten, but committed himself to him that judges righteously.

²² who has gone into heaven, and is at the right hand of God, angels and authorities and powers having become subject to him.

⁴ For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to Tartarus, and delivered them over to chains of darkness, to be kept for judgment; ⁵ and if he spared not the old world, but brought a flood on the world of the ungodly, and saved Noah, the eighth person, who was a preacher of righteousness; ⁶ and if, turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah into ashes, he condemned them with an overthrow, making them an example to those who should afterward live in an ungodly manner, ⁷ and delivered righteous Lot, wearied out with the licentious conduct of the lawless, ⁸ for that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds: ⁹ then, the Lord knows how to deliver the godly out of temptation, and to keep the ungodly for the day of judgment, to be punished;

⁹ then, the Lord knows how to deliver the godly out of temptation, and to keep the ungodly for the day of judgment, to be punished;

⁷ But the heavens and the earth that now are, by the same word are kept in store, reserved for fire against the day of judgment, and perdition of ungodly men.

⁶ He that says, he abides in him, ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.

²³ "Whoever denies the Son, has not the Father: he that con fesses the Son, has the Father also.

¹⁷ By this is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment; because, as he is, so are we in this world.

³ For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments; and his commandments are not burdensome.

¹⁹ We know that we are of God, and the whole world lies under the wicked one. ²⁰ And we know that the Son of God has come, and has given us understanding, that we may know him that is true: and we are in him that is true, in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and life eternal. Little children, keep yourselves from idols.

⁹ Whoever transgresses, and abides not in the teaching of the Christ, has not God: he that abides in the teaching of the Christ, has both the Father and the Son.

⁷ So Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities which were about them, in like manner giving themselves over to lewdness, and following after other flesh, are set forth as an example, suffering the punishment of eternal fire.

¹¹ Alas for them! for they have gone in the way of Cain: and, in the error of Balaam, they have rushed headlong after reward, and have perished in the rebellion of Korah.

⁷ He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches: To him that overcomes, I will give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the paradise of God.

¹¹ He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. He that overcomes shall not be hurt by the second death.

¹⁷ He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him that overcomes, I will give of the hidden manna; and I will give him a white stone, and on the stone a new name written, which no one knows but he that receives it.

²¹ And I have given her time to repent; and she will not repent of her lewdness.

²⁹ He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.

⁶ He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.

¹³ He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.

²² He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.

¹¹ And I saw, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the living creatures and the elders; and the number of them was myriads of myriads, and thousands of thousands. ¹² And they said, with a loud voice: Worthy is the Lamb that was slain, to receive power and riches and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and blessing. ¹³ And every creature that is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are on the sea, even all that are in them, I heard saying: To him that sits on the throne, and to the Lamb, be blessing and honor and glory and strength from age to age. ¹⁴ And the four living creatures said, Amen; and the elders fell down, and worshiped.

¹² saying, Amen: blessing and glory and wisdom and thanks and honor and power and strength be to our God from acre to acre. Amen.

²⁰ And the rest of men that were not killed by these plagues, repented not of the works of their hands, that they might not worship demons, and idols of gold, and of silver, and of brass, and of stone, and of wood, which can neither see, nor hear, nor walk; ²¹ and they repented not of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their lewdness, nor of their thefts.

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

⁸ And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which, spiritually, is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified.

⁹ And men were scorched with great heat; and they uttered impious words against the name of God who has power over these plagues; and they repented not, that they might give him glory.

¹¹ and they spoke impiously against the God of heaven because of their pains, and be cause of their sores; and they repented not of their works.

⁴ And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and the power of judging was given to them; and I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for the testimony of Jesus, and for the word of God; and of those who had not worshiped the beast, nor his image, and had not received his mark on their forehead, nor on their hand: and they lived and reigned with Christ a thou sand years.

¹⁷ And the Spirit and the bride say, Come; and let him that hears, say, Come; and let him that is thirsty, come; -and let him that is willing, take the water of life freely.
