²⁰ And in the morning, as they were passing by, they saw the fig-tree withered from the roots. ²¹ And Peter, calling his words to mind, said to him: Rabbi, see! the fig-tree which thou didst curse has withered.

²¹ And Peter, calling his words to mind, said to him: Rabbi, see! the fig-tree which thou didst curse has withered. ²² And Jesus answered and said to them: Have faith in God.

²² And Jesus answered and said to them: Have faith in God. ²³ For, verily I say to you, that whoever will say to this mountain, Be removed, and be cast into the sea, and will not doubt in his heart, but believe that what he says will come to pass, he shall have whatever he says.

²³ For, verily I say to you, that whoever will say to this mountain, Be removed, and be cast into the sea, and will not doubt in his heart, but believe that what he says will come to pass, he shall have whatever he says. ²⁴ For this reason I say to you: All things that you ask for in prayer, believe that you will receive them, and they shall be yours.

²⁴ For this reason I say to you: All things that you ask for in prayer, believe that you will receive them, and they shall be yours.

²⁷ And they came again into Jerusalem; and as he was walking in the temple, there came to him the chief priests and the scribes and the elders, ²⁸ and said to him: By what authority do you these things? and who gave you this authority to do these things? ²⁹ And Jesus answered and said to them: I also will ask you one thing, and if you answer me, I will also tell you by what authority I do these things. ³⁰ Was the immersion of John from heaven, or from men? answer me. ³¹ And they reasoned with themselves, saying: If we say, From heaven, he will reply, Why, then, did you not believe him? ³² But if we say, From men, they feared the people; for all regarded John as a prophet indeed.

³² But if we say, From men, they feared the people; for all regarded John as a prophet indeed. ³³ And they answered and said to Jesus: We do not know. And Jesus answering, said to them: Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.

¹ And ho began to speak to them in parables: A man planted a vineyard, and set a hedge around it, and digged a wine-press, and built a tower, and let it out to vine-dressers, and went into another country. ² And at the proper time, he sent a servant to the vine-dressers, that he might receive from the vine-dressers of the fruit of the vineyard.

² And at the proper time, he sent a servant to the vine-dressers, that he might receive from the vine-dressers of the fruit of the vineyard. ³ And they took him and scourged him, and sent him away without any thing.

³ And they took him and scourged him, and sent him away without any thing. ⁴ And again he sent to them another servant; and at him they threw stones, and wounded him in the head, and sent him away shamefully treated.

⁴ And again he sent to them another servant; and at him they threw stones, and wounded him in the head, and sent him away shamefully treated. ⁵ And again he sent another; and him they killed. And he sent many others, some of whom they scourged, and some they killed.

⁵ And again he sent another; and him they killed. And he sent many others, some of whom they scourged, and some they killed. ⁶ Therefore, having yet one son, his beloved, he sent him also to them last, saying, They will reverence my son.

⁶ Therefore, having yet one son, his beloved, he sent him also to them last, saying, They will reverence my son. ⁷ But those vine-dressers said one to another, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.

⁷ But those vine-dressers said one to another, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the inheritance will be ours. ⁸ And they took him, and killed him, and threw him out of the vineyard.

⁸ And they took him, and killed him, and threw him out of the vineyard. ⁹ What, then, will the owner of the vineyard do? He will come and destroy those vine-dressers, and give his vineyard to others.

⁹ What, then, will the owner of the vineyard do? He will come and destroy those vine-dressers, and give his vineyard to others. ¹⁰ Have you not read this scripture: The stone which the builders rejected has become the head of the corner;

¹² And they sought to take him, but feared the multitude; for they knew that he had spoken the parable against them; and they left him, and went away.

³⁴ As a man, going into another country, leaves his house, and gives authority to his servants, and to each one his own work, and commands the door-keeper to watch;

¹³ And he sent two of his disciples, and said to them: Go into the city, and there will meet you a man carrying a pitcher of water; ¹⁴ follow him, and wherever he enters, say to the master of the house: The Teacher says, "Where is the room in which I may eat the passover with my disciples? ¹⁵ And he will show you a large upper room, furnished and made ready; there make ready for us. ¹⁶ And his disciples went out, and came into the city, and found as he had said to them; and they prepared the passover.

²⁶ And when they had sung a hymn, they went out into the mount of Olives.

⁴⁶ And they laid their hands on him and took him. ⁴⁷ And one of those who were standing by, drew a sword, and struck the servant of the chief priest, and cut off his ear. ⁴⁸ And Jesus answering, said to them: Have you come out as against a robber, with swords and clubs, to take me? ⁴⁹ I was daily with you in the temple, and taught, and you did not take me; but this is so, that the scriptures may be fulfilled. ⁵⁰ And they all forsook him and fled. ⁵¹ And there followed him a certain young man, who had a linen garment around his naked body. And the young men laid hold of him; ⁵² and he left the linen garment, and fled from them naked. ⁵³ And they led Jesus away to the chief priest; and with him were assembled all the chief priests, and the elders, and the scribes.

¹¹ And there appeared to him an angel of the Lord, standing at the right side of the altar of incense. ¹² And Zachariah was troubled at the sight, and fear fell upon him. ¹³ But the angel said to him: Fear not, Zachariah; for your prayer is heard, and your wife Elizabeth shall bear you a son, and you shall call his name John. ¹⁴ And you shall have joy and gladness, and many shall rejoice at his birth. ¹⁵ For he shall be great before the Lord; and he shall drink neither wine nor strong drink; and he shall be filled with the Holy Spirit even from his mother's womb. ¹⁶ And many of the sons of Israel shall he turn to the Lord their God. ¹⁷ And he shall go before him in the spirit and power of Elijah to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient, by the wisdom of the just, in order to make ready for the Lord a prepared people.

⁶⁷ And Zachariah his father was filled with the Holy Spirit, and prophesied, saying: ⁶⁸ Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; for he has visited and redeemed his people; ⁶⁹ and he has raised up for us, in the house of David his servant, a horn of salvation, ⁷⁰ (as he spoke by the mouth of all his holy prophets of ancient times,) ⁷¹ salvation from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us, ⁷² in order to show the mercy promised to our fathers, and to remember his holy covenant, ⁷³ the oath which he swore to Abraham our father, ⁷⁴ that he would grant to us, that being delivered from the hands of our enemies, we might serve him without fear, ⁷⁵ in holiness and righteousness before him, all our days. ⁷⁶ And you, child, shall be called the prophet of the Most High; for you shall go before the face of the Lord, to make ready his ways, ⁷⁷ by giving to his people the knowledge of salvation in the remission of their sins, ⁷⁸ through the tender mercies of our God; by which the dawn from on high has visited us, ⁷⁹ to give light to those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, by guiding our feet in the way of peace. ⁸⁰ And the child grew and became strong in spirit; and he was in the deserts till the day of his manifestation to Israel.

¹⁴ Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will among men.

²⁴ and to offer a sacrifice, according to that which is commanded in the law of the Lord: A pair of turtle doves, or two young pigeons.

² Annas and Caiaphas being chief priests, the word of God came to John the son of Zachariah, in the wilderness. ³ And he came into all the country about the Jordan, preaching the immersion of repentance in order to the remission of sins; ⁴ as it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet, saying: The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make ready the way of the Lord, make his paths straight; ⁵ every ravine shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be made level; and the crooked ways shall be made straight; and the rough ways shall be made smooth; ⁶ and all flesh shall see the salvation of God. ⁷ Therefore he said to the multitudes that came out to be immersed by him: Generation of vipers, who has warned you to flee from the coming wrath? ⁸ Bring forth, therefore, fruits worthy of repentance. And begin not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham for our father; for I say to you, that God is able from these stones to raise up children for Abraham.

⁸ Bring forth, therefore, fruits worthy of repentance. And begin not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham for our father; for I say to you, that God is able from these stones to raise up children for Abraham. ⁹ And now also the ax is lying at the root of the trees; therefore, every tree that does not produce good fruit, is cut down and cast into the fire.

⁹ And now also the ax is lying at the root of the trees; therefore, every tree that does not produce good fruit, is cut down and cast into the fire.

⁹ And now also the ax is lying at the root of the trees; therefore, every tree that does not produce good fruit, is cut down and cast into the fire. ¹⁰ And the multitudes asked him, saying: What, then, shall we do?

¹⁰ And the multitudes asked him, saying: What, then, shall we do? ¹¹ He answered and said to them: He that has two coats, let him give to him that has none; and he that has food, let him do likewise.

¹¹ He answered and said to them: He that has two coats, let him give to him that has none; and he that has food, let him do likewise. ¹² And the publicans also came to be immersed, and they said to him: Teacher, what shall we do?

¹² And the publicans also came to be immersed, and they said to him: Teacher, what shall we do? ¹³ And he said to them: Exact no more than that which is appointed you.

¹³ And he said to them: Exact no more than that which is appointed you. ¹⁴ And soldiers also asked him, saying: And what shall we do? And he said to them: Take nothing from any one by extortion, nor by false accusation, and be content with your pay. ¹⁵ While the people were in suspense, and all were reasoning in their hearts about John, whether he was the Christ or not, ¹⁶ John answered them all, saying: I indeed immerse you in water; but there comes One mightier than I, the strap of whose sandals I am not worthy to loose; he will immerse you in the Holy Spirit and in fire. ¹⁷ His winnowing shovel is in his hand, and he will thoroughly cleanse his thrashing-floor, and gather the grain into his granary, but the chaff he will burn with unquenchable fire. ¹⁸ With many other exhortations he proclaimed the good news to the people. ¹⁹ But Herod the tetrarch having been reproved by him on account of Herodias, the wife of his brother Philip, and for all the wicked deeds which Herod did, ²⁰ added this also to them all, that he shut up John in prison.

² and was there forty days, to be tempted by the devil. And he ate nothing during those days; and when they were ended, he was afterward hungry.

²¹ And the scribes and Pharisees began to reason, saying: Who is this that utters impious words? Who can forgive sins but God alone?

⁹ Then Jesus said to them, I will ask you a question: Which is lawful on the sabbath, to do good, or to do evil? to save life, or to kill?

¹⁶ And fear seized on all; and they glorified God, saying: A great prophet has arisen among us; and, God has visited his people.

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. ³⁵ Yet wisdom is vindicated by all her children.

³⁷ And, behold, a woman of the city, who was a sinner, when she knew that he reclined at table in the house of the Pharisee, brought an alabaster box of ointment, ³⁸ and stood behind at his feet, weeping; and she began to wash his feet with her tears; and she wiped them with the hair of her head, and kissed his feet and anointed them with the ointment. ³⁹ But when the Pharisee who had invited him, saw it, he said within himself: This man, if he were a prophet, would have known who, and what sort of woman this is that touches him; for she is a sinner.

³⁹ But when the Pharisee who had invited him, saw it, he said within himself: This man, if he were a prophet, would have known who, and what sort of woman this is that touches him; for she is a sinner. ⁴⁰ And Jesus answered and said to him: Simon, I have some thing to say to you. He replied: Teacher, say on. ⁴¹ A certain creditor had two debtors; the one owed him five hundred denarii, the other, fifty. ⁴² But as they had nothing to pay, he forgave them both. Which of them, then, will love him the more? ⁴³ Simon answered and said: I suppose he to whom he forgave the more. He said to him: You have decided correctly. ⁴⁴ And turning toward the woman, he said to Simon: Do you see this woman? I entered your house, you gave me no water for my feet; but she has washed my feet with her tears, and wiped them with her hair. ⁴⁵ You gave me no kiss; but she, from the time I came in, has not ceased to kiss my feet. ⁴⁶ You did not anoint my head with oil; but she has anointed my feet with ointment. ⁴⁷ Wherefore, I say to you, her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much. But he to whom little is forgiven, loves little. ⁴⁸ And he said to her: Your sins are forgiven. ⁴⁹ And those who reclined at table with him began to say within themselves: Who is this that also forgives sins?

⁴⁹ And those who reclined at table with him began to say within themselves: Who is this that also forgives sins? ⁵⁰ But he said to the woman: Your faith has saved you; go in peace.

³⁷ And the whole multitude of the neighboring country of the Gadarenes besought him to depart from them; for they were seized with great fear. And he entered the ship and returned. ³⁸ And the man out of whom the demons had gone, besought him that he might be with him. But Jesus sent him away, saying:

⁹ And Herod said: John I have beheaded: but who is this, of whom I hear such things? And he desired to see him.

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

⁸ I say to you, Although he will not arise and give him, because he is his friend, yet, on account of his importunity, he will arise and give him as many as he needs. ⁹ And I say to you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and you shall find; knock, and it shall be opened to you. ¹⁰ For every one that asks, receives; and he that seeks, finds; and to him that knocks, it shall be opened.

⁴⁵ And one of the lawyers answered and said to him: Teacher, in saying these things, you reproach us also.

⁴ Or, those eighteen, on whom the tower in Siloam fell, and killed them; do you think that they were greater debtors than all other men that were living in Jerusalem?

⁶ And he spoke this parable: A certain man had a fig-tree that was planted in his vineyard; and he came and sought fruit on it, and found none. ⁷ Then he said to his vine-dresser, Behold, for three years I have come and sought fruit on this fig-tree, and I have found none; cut it down; why does it occupy the ground unprofitably? ⁸ But he answered and said to him, Sir, let it alone this year also, till I shall dig about it, and throw in manure; ⁹ and it may bear fruit; but if not, after ward you shall cut it down.

²⁸ There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when you see Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets in the kingdom of God, but your selves cast out. ²⁹ And they shall come from the east and the west, and from the north and the south, and shall recline at table in the kingdom of God.

³³ But I must continue my journey to-day and to-morrow and the day following; for it is not possible that a prophet perish out of Jerusalem.

³³ But I must continue my journey to-day and to-morrow and the day following; for it is not possible that a prophet perish out of Jerusalem. ³⁴ Jerusalem, Jerusalem, that killest the prophets and stonest them that are sent to thee: how often have I desired to gather thy children together, as a bird gathers her young under her wings, and you refused.

²³ And the lord said to his servant, Go out into the roads, and among the hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be full. ²⁴ For I say to you, that not one of those men who have been invited, shall taste of my supper.

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.

¹⁰ So, I say to you, There is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repents. ¹¹ Then he said: A certain man had two sons. ¹² And the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of the property that falls to me. And he divided his estate between them. ¹³ And not many days after, the younger son, taking with him all that was his, left home for a distant country, and there wasted his property in riotous living. ¹⁴ When he had spent all, there was a great famine throughout that country, and he began to be in want. ¹⁵ And he went and attached himself to one of the citizens of that country, who sent him into his fields to feed swine. ¹⁶ And he would gladly have filled his stomach with the pods which the swine did eat. And no one gave to him. ¹⁷ But when he came to himself, he said, How many of my father's hired servants have bread enough and to spare, and I am perishing with hunger!

¹⁷ But when he came to himself, he said, How many of my father's hired servants have bread enough and to spare, and I am perishing with hunger! ¹⁸ I will arise and go to my father, and I will say to him, Father, I have sinned against heaven and in your sight,

¹⁸ I will arise and go to my father, and I will say to him, Father, I have sinned against heaven and in your sight, ¹⁹ and am no longer worthy to be called your son: make me as one of your hired servants. ²⁰ And he arose, and came to his father. And while he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion on him, and ran and fell upon his neck, and kissed him. ²¹ But his son said to him, Father, I have sinned against heaven and in your sight, and am no longer worthy to be called your son. ²² But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and put it- on him, and put a ring on his hand, and sandals on his feet. ²³ And bring hither the fatted calf, and kill it, and let us eat and be merry; ²⁴ for this my son was dead, and is alive again: he was lost, and is found. And they began to be merry. ²⁵ But his elder son was in the field; and as he came and drew near to the house, he heard music and dancing. ²⁶ And he called to him one of the servants, and asked what these things meant. ²⁷ And he said to him, Your brother has come, and your father has killed the fatted calf, because he has received him in health. ²⁸ And he was angry, and would not go in. Then his father went out and entreated him. ²⁹ But he answered and said to his father, Behold, for so many years do I serve you, and never have I transgressed your commandment, and yet you never gave me a kid, that I might make merry with my friends. ³⁰ But as soon as this your son has come, Who has eaten up your estate with harlots, you have killed for him the fatted calf. ³¹ And he said to him, Son, you are ever with me, and all that I have is yours. ³² But it became us to make merry and rejoice; for this your brother was dead, and is alive again: was lost, and is found.

⁶ And the Lord said: If you had faith like a grain of mustard, you might say to this sycamine-tree, Be uprooted, and be planted in the sea, and it should obey you. ⁷ Which of you that has a servant plowing, or feeding a flock, will say to him immediately, when he comes in from the field, Go and recline at table?

²⁰ And being asked by the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said: The kingdom of God comes not so as to attract attention; ²¹ nor shall it be said, Lo here! or Lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is among you.

³² Remember Lot's wife. ³³ Whoever will seek to save his life, shall lose it; and whoever will lose his life, shall save it. ³⁴ I say to you, on that night two men shall be in one bed; the one shall be taken, and the other left. ³⁵ Two women shall be grinding together; the one shall be taken, and the other left. ³⁶ Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left. ³⁷ And they answered and said to him. Where, Lord? And he said to them: Where the body is, there will the vultures be gathered.

⁹ And Jesus said to him: To-day has salvation come to this house, since he also is a son of Abraham. ¹⁰ For the Son of man has come to seek and to save that which was lost.

¹² He said, there fore: A certain nobleman went into a distant country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return.

²² Then he said to him: Out of your own mouth will I judge you, you wicked servant. You knew that I was a hard man, taking up what I did not lay down, and reaping what I did not sow.

²⁸ And when he had said these things, he went before, going up to Jerusalem. ²⁹ And it came to pass, that, when he came near to Bethphage and Bethany, to the mount called the mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples,

²⁹ And it came to pass, that, when he came near to Bethphage and Bethany, to the mount called the mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples, ³⁰ saying: Go into the opposite village, in which, when you enter, you will find a colt tied, on which no man ever sat. Loose him, and bring him.

³⁰ saying: Go into the opposite village, in which, when you enter, you will find a colt tied, on which no man ever sat. Loose him, and bring him. ³¹ And if any one ask you why you loose him, thus shall you say to him: The Lord has need of him.

³¹ And if any one ask you why you loose him, thus shall you say to him: The Lord has need of him. ³² And those who were sent, went, and found as he had said to them.

³² And those who were sent, went, and found as he had said to them.

³² And those who were sent, went, and found as he had said to them. ³³ And as they were loosing the colt, the owners of him said to them: Why do you loose the colt?

³³ And as they were loosing the colt, the owners of him said to them: Why do you loose the colt? ³⁴ They replied: The Lord has need of him.

³⁴ They replied: The Lord has need of him. ³⁵ And they brought him to Jesus, and threw their mantles upon the colt, and set Jesus on him.

³⁵ And they brought him to Jesus, and threw their mantles upon the colt, and set Jesus on him. ³⁶ And as he was going on, they spread their mantles in the road. ³⁷ And when he was now near the descent of the mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and to praise God, with a loud voice, for all the mighty deeds which they had seen, ³⁸ saying: Blessed is the king that comes in the name of the Lord; peace in heaven, and glory in the highest. ³⁹ And some of the Pharisees from among the multitude, said to him: Teacher, rebuke your disciples. ⁴⁰ And he answered, and said to them: I say to you, that if these had been silent, the stones would have cried out. ⁴¹ And when he came near, he looked upon the city, and wept over it, ⁴² saying: Hadst thou known, even thou, at least in this thy day, the things which were for thy peace! But now, they are hid from thy eyes. ⁴³ For the days will come upon thee, when thy enemies will throw up a mound about thee, and inclose thee around, and keep thee in on every side, ⁴⁴ and will destroy thee and thy children within thee, and will not leave in thee one stone upon another, because thou knewest not the time of thy visitation. ⁴⁵ And he went into the temple, and began to drive out those who were selling in it, and those who were buying, ⁴⁶ and said to them: It is written, My house is a house of prayer; but you have made it a den of robbers.

⁴⁶ and said to them: It is written, My house is a house of prayer; but you have made it a den of robbers. ⁴⁷ And he was teaching daily in the temple. But the chief priests, and the scribes, and the chief of the people sought to destroy him,

⁴⁷ And he was teaching daily in the temple. But the chief priests, and the scribes, and the chief of the people sought to destroy him,

¹ And it came to pass, that, on one of those days, while he was teaching the people in the temple, and preaching the gospel, the chief priests and the scribes, with the elders, came to him, ² and spoke to him, saying: Tell us by what authority you do these things? or, who is he that gave you this authority?

⁵ And they reasoned among themselves, saying: If we say, From heaven, he will reply: Why, then, did you not believe him? ⁶ But if we say, From men, all the people will stone us; for they believe that John was a prophet. ⁷ And they answered, that they knew not whence it was. ⁸ And Jesus said to them: Nor do I tell you by what authority I do these things. ⁹ And he began to speak this parable to the people: A man planted a vineyard, and let it out to vine-dressers, and was absent from home for a long time. ¹⁰ And at the proper sea son, he sent a servant to those vine-dressers, that they should give him of the fruit of the vineyard. But the vine-dressers scourged him, and sent him away empty-handed. ¹¹ And ho then sent another servant. But they scourged him also, and treated him shamefully, and sent him away empty-handed. ¹² And he also sent a third; but they wounded him, and drove him out. ¹³ And the owner of the vineyard said: What shall I do? I will send my beloved son; perhaps, when they see him, they will reverence him.

¹³ And the owner of the vineyard said: What shall I do? I will send my beloved son; perhaps, when they see him, they will reverence him. ¹⁴ But when the vine-dressers saw him, they reasoned among themselves, saying: This is the heir; come, let us kill him, that the inheritance may be ours.

¹⁴ But when the vine-dressers saw him, they reasoned among themselves, saying: This is the heir; come, let us kill him, that the inheritance may be ours. ¹⁵ And they drove him out of the vineyard, and killed him. What, then, will the owner of the vineyard do to them?

¹⁵ And they drove him out of the vineyard, and killed him. What, then, will the owner of the vineyard do to them? ¹⁶ He will come and destroy these vine-dressers, and will give his vine yard to others. And when they heard it, they said: Be it not so!

¹⁶ He will come and destroy these vine-dressers, and will give his vine yard to others. And when they heard it, they said: Be it not so! ¹⁷ And he looked on them and said: What, then, does this mean, which is written, The stone which the builders rejected has become the head of the corner?

¹⁷ And he looked on them and said: What, then, does this mean, which is written, The stone which the builders rejected has become the head of the corner? ¹⁸ Whoever shall fall on this stone, shall be dashed to pieces; but on whomever it shall fall, it will make him as chaff for the wind.

¹⁸ Whoever shall fall on this stone, shall be dashed to pieces; but on whomever it shall fall, it will make him as chaff for the wind.

¹⁸ Whoever shall fall on this stone, shall be dashed to pieces; but on whomever it shall fall, it will make him as chaff for the wind. ¹⁹ And the chief priests and the scribes sought to lay hands on him, the same hour; (and yet they feared the people;) for they knew that he spoke this parable against them.

¹⁹ And the chief priests and the scribes sought to lay hands on him, the same hour; (and yet they feared the people;) for they knew that he spoke this parable against them.

²² For these are the days of vengeance, that all things that are written may be fulfilled. ²³ But alas for them that are with child, and for them that give suck in those days! for there shall be great distress upon the land, and wrath upon this people. ²⁴ And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and be led away captive among all nations; and Jerusalem shall be trodden down by the Gentiles, till the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.

³⁷ And in the day-time he was teaching in the temple. Bat he went out and passed the nights in the mount called the mount of Olives.

² And the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might kill him; for they feared the people.

³⁹ And after he had gone out, he went, according to custom, to the mount of Olives; and his disciples followed him.

⁵² And Jesus said to the chief priests, and the captains of the temple, and the elders that had come against him: Have you come out with swords and clubs, as against a robber? ⁵³ While I was daily with you in the temple, you did not lay hands on me. But this is your hour, and the authority of darkness. ⁵⁴ And they took him, and led him away, and brought him into the house of the chief priest. But Peter followed at a distance.

⁶⁶ And when it was day, the elders of the people, the chief priests also and scribes, met together, and led him up to the Sanhedrin, and said:

¹⁹ And he said to them: What things? They said to him: The things concerning Jesus the Nazarene, who was a prophet mighty in deed and in word before God and all the people;

⁵⁰ And he led them out as far as Bethany; and he lifted up his hands and blessed them.

⁶ There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.

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.

²⁵ and they asked him, and said to him: Why, then, do you immerse, if you are not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the prophet?

²⁵ and they asked him, and said to him: Why, then, do you immerse, if you are not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the prophet? ²⁶ John answered them, saying: I immerse in water; but there stands one among you whom you know not. 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. ²⁸ These things were done in Beth any, beyond the Jordan, where John was immersing. ²⁹ The next day John saw Jesus coming to him, and said: Behold the Lamb of God, that takes away the sin of the world. ³⁰ This is he of whom I said, After me comes a man who is now before me, for he existed before me. ³¹ And I knew him not; but that he might be made manifest to Israel, for this reason I have come immersing in water. ³² And John testified, saying: I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it remained on him. ³³ And I knew him not; but he that sent me to immerse in water, said to me, On whom you shall see the Spirit descending and remaining, this is he that immerses in the Holy Spirit. ³⁴ And I saw, and do testify that this is the Son of God.

³⁴ And I saw, and do testify that this is the Son of God.

⁴⁵ Now, Philip was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter. ⁴⁶ Philip found Nathaniel, and said to him: We have found him of whom Moses in the law and the prophets did write, Jesus of Nazareth, the SOD of Joseph.

⁴⁹ Nathaniel said to him: How knowest thou me? Jesus answered and said to him: Before Philip called you, while you were under the fig-tree, I saw you.

⁵ His mother said to the servants: Whatever he says to you, do. ⁶ Now, according to the Jewish custom of purifying, six water-pots of stone had been set there, containing each two or three baths. ⁷ Jesus said to them: Fill the water-pots with water. And they filled them to the brim. ⁸ And he said to them: Draw out now, and carry it to the governor of the feast. And they carried it.

¹⁴ And he found in the temple those who were selling oxen and sheep and doves, and the money-changers sit ting. ¹⁵ And when he had made a whip of cords, he drove them all out of the temple, the sheep also, and the oxen, and he poured out the money of the money-changers, and overthrew their tables; ¹⁶ and said to those who sold doves: Take these things hence; make not my Father's house a house of merchandise. ¹⁷ And his disciples remembered that it was written, Zeal for thy house has eaten me up. ¹⁸ Then answered the Jews and said to him: What sign do you show us, seeing that you do these things?

³ Jesus answered and said to him: Verily, verily I say to you, unless a man be born again, he can not see the kingdom of God.

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.

¹⁶ For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whoever believes on him should not perish, but have eternal life.

¹⁸ He that believes on him is not condemned; but he that believes not is condemned already, because he has not believed on the name of the only begotten Son of God.

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. ²⁹ He that has the bride, is the bridegroom; but the friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices greatly on account of the voice of the bridegroom. This, my joy, is therefore complete. ³⁰ He must increase, but I must decrease. ³¹ He that comes from above, is over all. He that is from the earth, is from the earth, and speaks from the earth. He that comes from heaven, is over all; ³² and what he has seen and heard, this he testifies; and no one receives his testimony. ³³ He that has received his testimony has solemnly declared that God is true. ³⁴ For he whom God has sent, speaks the words of God; for God gives not the Spirit by measure to him. ³⁵ The Father loves the Son, and has given all things into his hand.

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

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

¹⁹ The woman said to him: Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet.

³³ You sent to John, and he bore testimony to the truth.

³³ You sent to John, and he bore testimony to the truth. ³⁴ But I receive not testimony from man; yet I say these things that you may be saved.

³⁴ But I receive not testimony from man; yet I say these things that you may be saved. ³⁵ He was the burning and shining lamp; and you were willing, for a time, to rejoice in his light.

³⁵ He was the burning and shining lamp; and you were willing, for a time, to rejoice in his light.

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.

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. ³⁷ And the Father, who sent me, has testified concerning me. You have, neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape. ³⁸ And his word you have not remaining in you; for whom he has sent, him you believe not. ³⁹ You search the scriptures, because in them you think you have eternal life; and these are they which testify concerning me: ⁴⁰ and yet you refuse to come to me, that you may have life.

⁴⁴ How can you believe who receive honor one from another, and seek not the honor that comes from God alone? ⁴⁵ Think not that I will accuse you to the Father: there is one that accuses you, Moses, in whom you trust. 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.

⁷ The world can not hate you; but me it hates, because I testify of it, that its works are evil.

⁴⁰ Therefore, many of the multitude, when they had heard this word, said: This is, in truth, the prophet.

⁴⁰ Therefore, many of the multitude, when they had heard this word, said: This is, in truth, the prophet. 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?

¹ But Jesus went to the mount of Olives.

¹⁷ Again they said to the blind man: What say you of him, seeing that he opened your eyes? He said: He is a prophet.

²² His parents said this, because they feared the Jews. For the Jews had already agreed, that if any one should confess him to be the Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue.

³⁰ The man answered and said to them: Why, there is some thing wonderful in this, that you know not whence he is, and yet he has opened my eyes.

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.

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. ²⁶ But you believe not, because you are not of my sheep. As I said to you,

⁴¹ And many came to him, and said: John did no sign; but all things that John said of this man were true. ⁴² And many who were there believed on him.

¹ Now a certain man was sick, Lazarus, of Bethany, the village of Mary and Martha her sister.

¹⁸ Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs off.

⁴⁷ Then the chief priests and the Pharisees called together the Sanhedrin, and said: What are we doing? For this man does many signs.

⁴⁷ Then the chief priests and the Pharisees called together the Sanhedrin, and said: What are we doing? For this man does many signs.

⁴⁷ Then the chief priests and the Pharisees called together the Sanhedrin, and said: What are we doing? For this man does many signs. ⁴⁸ If we thus let him alone, all will believe on him, and the Romans will come and take away our place and our nation.

⁴⁸ If we thus let him alone, all will believe on him, and the Romans will come and take away our place and our nation.

⁴⁸ If we thus let him alone, all will believe on him, and the Romans will come and take away our place and our nation. ⁴⁹ But one of them, Caiaphas, who was chief priest that year, said to them: You know nothing,

⁴⁹ But one of them, Caiaphas, who was chief priest that year, said to them: You know nothing, ⁵⁰ nor do you consider that it is profitable for us, that one man should die for the people, and not that the whole nation should perish. ⁵¹ But this he did not speak of himself; but being chief priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus was about to die for the nation; ⁵² and not for the nation only, but that he should gather into one the children of God that were scattered abroad. ⁵³ From that day, therefore, they consulted together to put him to death.

⁵⁷ Now the chief priests and the Pharisees had given orders, that, if any one knew where he was, he should inform them, that they might take him.

¹ Then, six days before the passover, Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazarus was, who had been dead, whom he had raised from the dead. 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.

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.

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. ¹⁴ And Jesus, having found a young ass, sat upon him, as it is written: ¹⁵ Fear not, daughter of Zion; behold, your king comes, sitting on the colt of an ass.

¹⁵ Fear not, daughter of Zion; behold, your king comes, sitting on the colt of an ass. ¹⁶ His disciples did not understand these things at first; but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were written of him, and that they had done these things to him. ¹⁷ The multitude therefore that was with him, testified that he had called Lazarus out of the tomb, and raised him from the dead. ¹⁸ For this reason, also, the multitude met him, be cause they had heard that he had done this sign. ¹⁹ Then the Pharisees said among themselves: You see that you gain nothing. Behold, the world has gone after him.

¹⁹ Then the Pharisees said among themselves: You see that you gain nothing. Behold, the world has gone after him.

³⁷ But though he had done so many signs in their presence, yet they believed not on him, 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. ⁴¹ These things said Isaiah, when he saw his glory, and spoke of him. ⁴² But yet, many even of the rulers believed on him; but on account of the Pharisees, they would not confess him, lest they should be put out of the synagogue; ⁴³ for they loved the glory of men more than the glory of God.

¹³ and whatever you ask in my name, I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.

¹ I am the true vine, and my Father is the vine-dresser. ² Every branch in me that bears no fruit, he takes away; and every branch that bears fruit, he prunes, that it may bear more fruit.

⁶ If any one abide not in me, he is thrown out as a branch, and withers; and such are gathered, and thrown into the fire, and burned. ⁷ If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, you shall ask what you will, and it shall be done for you.

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

²⁵ But this is so, that the word may be fulfilled which is written in their law, They hated me without a cause.

²⁴ Till this time you have asked for nothing in my name; ask, and you shall receive, that your joy may be full.

² as thou hast given him authority over all flesh, that he may give eternal life to all that thou hast given him.

¹² Then the band of soldiers, and the officer, and the attend ants of the Jews, took Jesus and bound him,

²⁴ Then Annas sent him bound to Caiaphas the chief priest.

¹¹ Jesus answered: You could have no authority over me, had it not been given you from above. Therefore, he that delivered me to you, has the greater sin.

¹⁵ But they cried out: Away with him, away with him; crucify him! Pilate said to them: Shall I crucify your king? The chief priests answered: "We have no king but Caesar ¹⁶ Then he, therefore, delivered him to them to be crucified. And they took Jesus, and led him away. ¹⁷ And, bearing his cross, he went forth into a place called the Place of a Skull, which is called, in Hebrew, Golgotha, ¹⁸ where they crucified him, and with him two others, one on each side, and Jesus in the middle. ¹⁹ And Pilate wrote a superscription, and put it on the cross; and the writing was, JESUS THE NAZABENE, THE KING OF THE JEWS. ²⁰ Therefore many of the Jews read this superscription, because the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city. And it was written in Hebrew and in Greek and in Latin. ²¹ Then the chief priests of the Jews said to Pi late: Write not, The king of the Jews; but, that he said, I am the king of the Jews. ²² Pilate answered: What I have writ ten, I have written.

³⁶ for these things were done that the scripture might be fulfilled: A bone of him shall not be broken. ³⁷ And again another scripture says: They shall look on him whom they pierced.

¹² Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, a sabbath-day's journey.

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, ²³ him, delivered up by the fixed purpose and foreknowledge of God, you took, and with wicked hands did crucify and slay:

¹ Now Peter and John were going up. together into the temple at the hour of prayer, which was the ninth hour. 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. ⁹ And all the people saw him walking and praising God;

¹⁴ But you rejected the Holy and Just One, and demanded that a murderer should be given to you; ¹⁵ and you slew the Author of life, whom God has raised from the dead, of which we are witnesses.

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.

⁷ And when they had made them stand in the midst, they asked: By what power, or by what name have you done this?

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. ¹¹ This is the stone that was rejected with contempt by you builders, which has become the head of the corner.

¹⁶ saying: What shall we do with these men? For that an evident sign has been done by them, is manifest to all that dwell in Jerusalem, and we can not deny it. ¹⁷ But that it may spread no further among the people, let us severely threaten them, so that they speak no more to any man in this name. ¹⁸ And they called them in, and commanded them to speak no more at all, nor to teach, in the name of Jesus.

²⁵ Why did the heathen rage, and the people devise vain things? ²⁶ The kings of the land stood up, and the rulers met together against the Lord and against his anointed. ²⁷ For, in truth, against thy holy child Jesus, whom thou didst anoint, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and the people of Israel, did meet together,

²⁷ For, in truth, against thy holy child Jesus, whom thou didst anoint, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and the people of Israel, did meet together, ²⁸ to do whatever thy hand and thy counsel determined to be done.

²⁴ When the priest and the captain of the temple and the chief priests heard these words, they were in doubt about them, what this could mean. ²⁵ And some one came and reported to them: Behold, the men whom you put in prison are standing in the temple, and teaching the people. ²⁶ Then went the captain with the attendants, and brought them without violence; for they feared the people, lest they should be stoned.

²⁶ Then went the captain with the attendants, and brought them without violence; for they feared the people, lest they should be stoned. ²⁷ And when they had brought them, they made them stand before the Sanhedrin; and the chief priest asked them, ²⁸ saying: Did we not strictly charge you not to teach in this name? And behold, you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching, and you intend to bring this man's blood upon us.

³⁰ The God of our fathers has raised up Jesus, whom you slew by hanging him on a tree.

²⁷ But he that was doing the injury to his neighbor, thrust him. away, saying, Who made you a ruler or a judge over us?

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.

⁵² Which of the prophets did not your fathers persecute? They slew also those who foretold the coming of the Just One, of whom you have now become the betrayers and murderers;

⁵ He answered: "Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said: I am Jesus, whom you persecute.

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.

²⁵ And as John was finishing his course, he said: Who do you suppose that I am? I am not he; but behold, there is coming after me one, the sandals of whose feet I am not worthy to loose. ²⁶ Brethren, sons of the family of Abraham, and those among you who fear God, to you is the word of this salvation sent. 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. ²⁸ And though they found no cause of death, yet they demanded of Pilate that he should be slain. ²⁹ And when they had fulfilled all that was written of him, they took him down from the tree, and laid him in a sepulcher.

⁴⁰ Take heed, therefore, lest that which is spoken in the prophets come upon you: ⁴¹ Behold, you despisers, and wonder, and perish. For I work a work in your days, a work which you will not believe, though one fully declare it to you.

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.

⁷ And after there had been much disputing, Peter arose, and said to them: Brethren, you know that, at the beginning, God made choice among us, that, by my mouth, the Gentiles should hear the word of the Gospel, and believe.

²⁵ nor is he ministered to by the hands of men, as if he needed any thing: for he himself gives to all life, and breath, and all things:

³⁰ Yet the times of this ignorance God overlooked; but now, he commands all men everywhere to repent:

⁶ But when they set themselves in opposition, and reviled, he shook his clothing, and said to them: Your blood be upon your own head; I am clean. Henceforth I will go to the Gentiles.

²⁰ but announced first to those in Damascus and Jerusalem, and throughout all the region of Judea, and then to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God, and do works worthy of repentance.

⁸ And it happened that the father of Publius was lying sick with fever and dysentery. And Paul went in to him, and prayed, and laid his hands on him, and restored him to health.

²⁸ Therefore, be it known to you, that the salvation of God is sent to the Gentiles, and they will hear.

¹⁸ For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who, by unrighteousness, restrain the truth. ¹⁹ Because that which may be known of God, is manifest among them; for God has made it manifest to them, ²⁰ (for, since the creation of the world, his attributes, which are invisible, are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, both his eternal power and divinity,) that they may be without excuse; ²¹ because, when they knew God, they did not glorify him as God, nor were they thankful; but they became perverse in their reasonings, and their wicked heart was darkened; ²² professing to be wise, they became foolish,

²⁸ And as they refused to acknowledge God, God delivered them up to an undiscerning mind, to do detestable things;

¹⁷ But if you are named Jew, and rest in the law, and make your boast in God. ¹⁸ and know his will, and approve what is excellent, being instructed by the law: ¹⁹ if you are also confident that you yourself are a guide for the blind, a light to those who are in darkness, ²⁰ an instructor of the simple, a teacher of the unlearned, because you have the form of true knowledge in the law; ²¹ you, then, who teach another, do you not teach yourself? You who preach that a man should not steal, do you steal? ²² You who say that a man should not commit adultery, do you commit adultery? You who detest idols, do you rob temples? ²³ You who make your boast in the law, do you, by transgressing the law, dishonor God? ²⁴ For the name of God is reviled among the Gentiles, on account of you, as it is written. ²⁵ Now, circumcision is indeed profitable, if you keep the law: but, if you transgress the law, your circumcision becomes uncircumcision.

¹⁹ Now we know that what the law says, it speaks- to those who are under the law, that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world become guilty before God.

¹⁹ And not being weak in faith, he considered not his own body, which was already dead, (for he was about a hundred years old,) nor the deadness of Sarah's womb; ²⁰ and he doubted not, through unbelief, with respect to the promise of God, but was strong in faith, giving glory to God,

²⁰ But, besides the first offense, law was introduced, in order that offenses might abound: but where sin abounded, grace did much more abound:

¹ I speak the truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience bearing me testimony in the Holy Spirit, ² That I have great sorrow and unceasing grief in my heart; ³ for I could wish my self to be accursed from Christ, for my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh; ⁴ who are Israelites, to whom belong the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service, and the promises; ⁵ to whom belong the fathers, and of whom is the Christ, as it respects the flesh, who is over all, God blessed forever. Amen. ⁶ It is not possible that the word of God has failed; for they are not all Israel who are of Israel. ⁷ Nor, because they are the posterity of Abraham, are they all children: but in Isaac shall your posterity be called. ⁸ That is, the children of the flesh are not the children of God; but the children of the promise are counted for the posterity. ⁹ For the word of the promise is this: At this time will I come, and Sarah shall have a son. ¹⁰ Not only so, but when Rebecca had conceived by one, even our father Isaac, ¹¹ (the children, indeed, having not yet been born, and having done neither good nor evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him that calls,)

³⁰ What, then, shall we say? That the Gentiles, who did not seek after justification, have obtained justification, even the justification which is by faith: ³¹ but Israel, who sought after a law of justification, has not attained to a law of justification. 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.

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.

⁹ and that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy, as it is written: For this cause I will give praise to thee among the Gentiles, and to thy name will I sing. ¹⁰ And again he says: Rejoice, you Gentiles, with his people. ¹¹ And again: Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles, and applaud him all you peoples. ¹² And again, Isaiah says: There shall be a root of Jesse, and he that shall rise to rule the Gentiles, in him shall the Gentiles trust. ¹³ Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in the hope, by the power of the Holy Spirit. PAET IV. Conclusion. ¹⁴ And I myself am persuaded concerning you, my brethren, that you yourselves are full of all goodness, having been filled with all knowledge, able also to instruct one another. ¹⁵ Yet I have written to you more boldly in part, my brethren, as if I would put you in remembrance, on account of the grace which is given to me by God, ¹⁶ that I may be the public servant of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles, officiating as a priest with respect to the gospel of God, that the offering up of the Gentiles may be acceptable, having been sanctified by the Holy Spirit. ¹⁷ I have, therefore, cause to glory in Christ Jesus in things that pertain to God. ¹⁸ For I will not dare to speak of any of those things which Christ has not accomplished through me, by word and deed, in order to make the Gentiles obedient,

¹¹ And such were some of you: but you are washed, but you are sanctified, but you are justified, in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.

¹⁵ I speak as to wise men; judge you what I say.

² And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not love, I am nothing.

⁵⁸ Therefore, my be loved brethren, be firm, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord; for you know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.

³ But if our gospel is vailed, it is vailed among the lost,

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.

¹ We make known to you, brethren, God's gracious gift, which has been given in the churches of Macedonia; ² that under an afflicting trial, their overflowing joy, and their deep poverty, abounded to the riches of their liberality;

⁹ For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet, for your sakes, he became poor, that you, through his poverty, might become rich.

¹⁶ But thanks be to God, who put the same earnest care for you in the heart of Titus:

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;

¹ Even you, being dead to offenses and sins, ² in which you formerly walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that is actively at work in the sons of disobedience: 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: ⁴ but God, being rich in mercy, on account of his great love with which he loved us, ⁵ made alive with Christ even us, being dead to our offenses, (by grace you are saved,) ⁶ and raised us up, and made us sit together in heavenly places, in Christ Jesus; ⁷ that he might show, in the ages to come, the exceeding riches of his grace by his kindness to us in Christ Jesus. ⁸ For by grace you have been saved through the faith; and this matter is not of yourselves; it is the gift of God: ⁹ not by works, lest any one should boast. ¹⁰ For we are his workman ship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God before prepared, that we should walk in them. ¹¹ For which reason, remember that you were formerly Gen tiles, by natural descent, and that you are called Uncircumcision by the Circumcision; so called, from a mark made in the flesh by hands; ¹² that you were at that time without Christ, being aliens from the community of Israel, and strangers to the covenants of promise, having no hope, and having no God in the world: ¹³ but now, in Christ Jesus, you, who were formerly far off, have become near, by the blood of the Christ.

²⁰ having been builded upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner-stone,

³ that by revelation was made known to me the mystery, (as I briefly wrote above, ⁴ so that, when you read, you can see my understanding in the mystery of the Christ,) ⁵ which, in other generations, was not made known to the sons of men, as it is now revealed to his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit; ⁶ that the Gentiles should be fellow-heirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in the Christ, through the gospel, ⁷ of which I was made a minister according to the gift of the grace of God which was given to me, in proportion to the energy of his power: 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;

¹⁷ This I say, therefore, and appeal to you solemnly in the Lord, that you no longer walk as the other Gentiles walk, in the error of their minds, ¹⁸ darkened in their understanding, alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the hardness of their heart; ¹⁹ who, being past feeling, have given themselves up to licentiousness, that they may work all manner of uncleanness with greediness.

³ doing nothing in strife and vain glory, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself. ⁴ Consider not each one his own gifts, but each one also the gifts of others. ⁵ Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus,

⁶ Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer every one.

¹⁵ who both killed the Lord Jesus and the prophets, and have persecuted us, and do not please God, and are opposed to all men, ¹⁶ forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles that they may be saved, in order that they may fill up their sins at all times: but the wrath is coming upon them to the full.

⁹ he will destroy him, whose coming is, according to the energy of Satan, with all power and signs and wonders of falsehood, ¹⁰ and with all the delusion of unrighteousness in those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, in order that they might be saved.

¹³ me, I say, who before was a reviler and a persecutor and an overbearing man. But I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief: ¹⁴ and the grace of our Lord was very abundant with faith, and love which is in Christ Jesus. ¹⁵ Assuredly true and worthy of all acceptation is this saying: that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am chief. ¹⁶ But for this reason I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might show all long-suffering, for an example to those who might afterward believe on him in order to life eternal.

²⁵ in meekness instructing those who oppose themselves, if, possibly, God may give them repentance in order to the acknowledgment of the truth,

⁵ having a form of godliness, but denying its power: from these also turn away.

¹⁶ They profess that they know God, but in their works they deny him, being detestable and disobedient, and, as it respects every good work, rejected.

¹ GOD, who in many parts and in many ways spoke in ancient times to the fathers by the prophets, has in these last days spoken to us by his Son, ² whom he has appointed heir of all things, by whom, also, he made the ages;

² whom he has appointed heir of all things, by whom, also, he made the ages;

² For if the word spoken by angels was steadfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just punishment, 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;

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;

¹² Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief in apostatizing from the living God.

¹⁵ For we have not a high priest that can not sympathize with our infirmities; but he was tempted in all things like ourselves, yet without sin.

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.

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?

³⁶ others had trial of mockings and scourgings, bonds also, and imprisonments. ³⁷ They were stoned, they were sawn asunder, they were tempted, they were slain with the sword: they went about in. sheep-skins, in goat-skins, being destitute, afflicted, oppressed with evils,

²⁵ See that you reject not him that speaks: for if they es caped not who rejected that earthly man who gave the oracles, much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from him that is from heaven,

¹¹ For the bodies of those animals whose blood, shed for sin, is carried by the high priest into the holiest, are burned with out the camp. ¹² Wherefore, Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people by his own blood, suffered without the gate. ¹³ Therefore, let us go forth to him without the camp, bearing his reproach.

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.

¹⁰ but he that is rich, in his humiliation; because as the flower of the grass he shall pass away. ¹¹ For the sun rises with its burning heat, and withers the grass, and its flower falls, and the beauty of its form perishes. So, also, shall the rich man fade away in his ways.

¹⁷ every good gift, and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no change, nor slightest trace of turning.

⁶ You have condemned and killed the Just One: and he does not set himself against you.

¹⁶ Confess your faults one to another, and pray for one another, that you may be restored to health: the fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.

⁴ Coming to him as to a living stone, rejected indeed by man, but in the sight of God, chosen and precious, ⁵ you, also, as living stones, are built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, that you may offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. ⁶ For it is contained in the scripture: Behold, I lay in Zion a chief corner-stone, chosen, precious; and he that believes on him shall not be ashamed. ⁷ To you, then, who believe, is this preciousness: but the stone which the builders rejected, has become the head of the corner, 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.

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. ⁹ But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a purchased people, that you should show forth the virtues of him who has called you out of darkness into his wonderful light:

²⁰ For if, after they have escaped the pollutions of the world, through the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in these, and overcome by them, the last state of such is worse than the first. ²¹ For it would be better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after having known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered to them.

²¹ For it would be better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after having known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered to them. ²² But it has happened to them according to the true proverb: The dog has turned again to his own vomit; and, The sow that was washed, to her wallowing in the mire.

⁹ The Lord does not delay concerning his promise, as some men count delay, but he is long-suffering toward us, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

²⁰ for if our heart condemn us, we know that God is greater than our heart, and knows all things.

²² and whatever we ask, we receive from him, because we keep his commandments, and do the things that are pleasing in his sight.

¹⁴ And this is the confidence that we have toward him, that if we ask any thing according to his will, he hears us. ¹⁵ And if we know that he hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions which we have asked of him.

¹² These, while feasting with you, are- spots in your love-feasts, feeding themselves without fear; they are clouds without water, driven along by winds; trees of autumn, without fruit, twice dead, torn up by the roots: -

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

⁹ And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they had borne:

¹¹ He that is unjust, let him be unjust still; he that is polluted, let him be polluted still; and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still; and he that is holy, let him be holy still.
