⁴ And I made prayer to the Lord my God, putting our sins before him, and said, O Lord, the great God, greatly to be feared. keeping your agreement and mercy with those who have love for you and do your orders;

²⁶ And at the end of the times, even after the sixty-two weeks, one on whom the holy oil has been put will be cut off and have no (UNTRANSLATED TEXT);and the town and the holy place will be made waste together with a prince; and the end will come with an overflowing of waters, and even to the end there will be war; the making waste which has been fixed.

¹² Even though their children have come to growth I will take them away, so that not a man will be there; for their evil-doing will be complete and they will be put to shame because of it. ¹³ As I have seen a beast whose young have been taken from her, so Ephraim will give birth to children only for them to be put to death. ¹⁴ O Lord, what will you give them? Give them bodies which may not give birth and breasts without milk. ¹⁵ All their evil-doing is in Gilgal; there I had hate for them; because of their evil-doing I will send them out of my house; they will no longer be dear to me; all their rulers are uncontrolled. ¹⁶ The rod has come on Ephraim, their root is dry, let them have no fruit; even though they give birth, I will put to death the dearest fruit of their bodies.

⁸ And the high places of Aven, the sin of Israel, will come to destruction; thorns and waste plants will come up on their altars; they will say to the mountains, Be a cover over us; and to the hills, Come down on us.

¹⁶ Samaria will be made waste, for she has gone against her God: they will be cut down by the sword, their little children will be broken on the rocks, their women who are with child will be cut open.

³¹ The sun will be made dark and the moon turned to blood, before the great day of the Lord comes, a day to be feared.

¹⁸ Sorrow to you who are looking for the day of the Lord! what is the day of the Lord to you? it is dark and not light.

¹⁰ Then Amaziah, the priest of Beth-el, sent to Jeroboam, king of Israel, saying, Amos has made designs against you among the people of Israel: the land is troubled by his words.

⁹ And it will come about in that day, says the Lord God, that I will make the sun go down in the middle of the day, and I will make the earth dark in daylight:

¹⁸ Who is a God like you, offering forgiveness for evil-doing and overlooking the sins of the rest of his heritage? he does not keep his wrath for ever, because his delight is in mercy.

⁸ Was your wrath burning against the rivers? were you angry with the sea, that you went on your horses, on your war-carriages of salvation? ⁹ Your bow was quite uncovered. Selah. By you the earth was cut through with rivers. ¹⁰ The mountains saw you and were moved with fear; the clouds were streaming with water: the voice of the deep was sounding; the sun did not come up, and the moon kept still in her place. ¹¹ At the light of your arrows they went away, at the shining of your polished spear.

⁸ And in one month I put an end to the three keepers of the flock; for my soul was tired of them, and their souls were disgusted with me.

¹⁰ And I will send down on the family of David and on the people of Jerusalem the spirit of grace and of prayer; and their eyes will be turned to the one who was wounded by their hands: and they will be weeping for him as for an only son, and their grief for him will be bitter, like the grief of one sorrowing for his oldest son.

¹² In whose hand is the instrument with which he will make clean his grain; he will put the good grain in his store, but the waste will be burned up in the fire which will never be put out.

¹⁷ And a voice came out of heaven, saying, This is my dearly loved Son, with whom I am well pleased.

¹² Now when it came to his ears that John had been put in prison, he went away to Galilee; ¹³ And going away from Nazareth, he came and made his living-place in Capernaum, which is by the sea, in the country of Zebulun and Naphtali: ¹⁴ So that the word of the prophet Isaiah might come true, ¹⁵ The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, by the way of the sea, the other side of Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles, ¹⁶ The people who were in the dark saw a great light, and to those in the land of the shade of death did the dawn come up.

²³ And Jesus went about in all Galilee, teaching in their Synagogues and preaching the good news of the kingdom, and making well those who were ill with any disease among the people.

⁴⁴ But I say to you, Have love for those who are against you, and make prayer for those who are cruel to you;

⁶ Do not give that which is holy to the dogs, or put your jewels before pigs, for fear that they will be crushed under foot by the pigs whose attack will then be made against you.

⁸ But when the people saw it they were full of fear, and gave glory to God who had given such authority to men.

²⁵ At that time Jesus made answer and said, I give praise to you, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have kept these things secret from the wise and the men of learning, and have made them clear to little children.

¹⁸ See my servant, the man of my selection, my loved one in whom my soul is well pleased: I will put my Spirit on him, and he will make my decision clear to the Gentiles.

¹ At that time news of Jesus came to Herod the king;

⁸ And she, at her mother's suggestion, said, Give me here on a plate the head of John the Baptist. ⁹ And the king was sad; but because of his oaths and because of his guests, he gave the order for it to be given to her;

¹ And the Pharisees and Sadducees came and, testing him, made a request to him to give them a sign from heaven.

²⁷ But, so that we may not be a cause of trouble to them, go to the sea, and let down a hook, and take the first fish which comes up; and in his mouth you will see a bit of money: take that, and give it to them for me and you.

¹⁵ Have I not the right to do as seems good to me in my house? or is your eye evil, because I am good? ¹⁶ So the last will be first, and the first last.

¹⁹ And will give him up to the Gentiles to be made sport of and to be whipped and to be put to death on the cross: and the third day he will come back again from the dead.

²¹ They say to him, Caesar's. Then he said to them, Give to Caesar the things which are Caesar's, and to God the things which are God's.

¹⁹ But it will be hard for women who are with child and for those with babies at the breast in those days.

² After two days is the Passover, and the Son of man will be given up to the death of the cross.

⁵⁹ Now the chief priests and all the Sanhedrin were looking for false witness against Jesus, so that they might put him to death; ⁶⁰ And they were not able to get it, though a number of false witnesses came.

¹ Now when it was morning, all the chief priests and those in authority took thought together with the purpose of putting Jesus to death. ² And they put cords on him and took him away, and gave him up to Pilate, the ruler.

⁴ Saying, I have done wrong in giving into your hands an upright man. But they said, What is that to us? it is your business.

¹¹ And Jesus was before the ruler, who put a question to him, Are you the King of the Jews? And Jesus said to him, You say so.

¹¹ And Jesus was before the ruler, who put a question to him, Are you the King of the Jews?

Barabbas, or Jesus, who is named Christ? ¹⁸ For he saw that for envy they had given him up. ¹⁹ And while he was on the judge's seat, his wife sent to him, saying, Have nothing to do with that upright man, for I have had much trouble this day in a dream because of him.

¹⁹ And while he was on the judge's seat, his wife sent to him, saying, Have nothing to do with that upright man, for I have had much trouble this day in a dream because of him. ²⁰ Now the chief priests and those in authority got the people to make request for Barabbas, and for Jesus to be put to death. ²¹ But the ruler made answer and said to them, Which of the two is it your pleasure that I let go free? And they said, Barabbas.

²¹ But the ruler made answer and said to them, Which of the two is it your pleasure that I let go free? And they said, Barabbas. ²² Pilate says to them, What, then, am I to do with Jesus, who is named Christ? They all say, Let him be put to death on the cross.

²⁶ Then he let Barabbas go free: but after having Jesus whipped, he gave him up to be put to death on the cross. ²⁷ Then the ruler's armed men took Jesus into the open square, and got all their band together. ²⁸ And they took off his clothing, and put on him a red robe. ²⁹ And they made a crown of thorns and put it on his head, and put a rod in his right hand, and they went down on their knees before him, and made sport of him, saying, Long life to the King of the Jews. ³⁰ And they put shame on him, and gave him blows on the head with the rod.

³² And while they were coming out, they saw a man of Cyrene, Simon by name, and they made him go with them, so that he might take up his cross. ³³ And when they came to the place named Golgotha, that is to say, Dead Man's Head,

⁴¹ In the same way, the chief priests, making sport of him, with the scribes and those in authority, said, ⁴² A saviour of others, he has no salvation for himself. If he is the King of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and we will have faith in him.

¹⁷ And Jesus said to them, Give to Caesar the things which are Caesar's, and to God the things which are God's. And they were full of wonder at him.

¹⁷ And it will be hard for women who are with child and for her who has a baby at the breast in those days. ¹⁸ And say a prayer that it may not be in the winter. ¹⁹ For in those days there will be sorrow, such as there has not been from the time when God made the world till now, and will not ever be again.

⁶¹ But he kept quiet and said nothing. Again the high priest questioning him said, Are you the Christ, the son of the Holy One? ⁶² And Jesus said, I am: and you will see the Son of man seated at the right hand of power, and coming with the clouds of heaven.

²³ And he said to them all, If any man has a desire to come after me, let him give up all, and take up his cross every day, and come after me.

⁴ What man of you, having a hundred sheep, if one of them gets loose and goes away, will not let the ninety-nine be in the waste land by themselves, and go after the wandering one, till he sees where it is? ⁵ And when he has got it again, he takes it in his arms with joy.

¹⁸ I will get up and go to my father, and will say to him, Father, I have done wrong, against heaven and in your eyes: ¹⁹ I am no longer good enough to be named your son: make me like one of your servants. ²⁰ And he got up and went to his father. But while he was still far away, his father saw him and was moved with pity for him and went quickly and took him in his arms and gave him a kiss. ²¹ And his son said to him, Father, I have done wrong, against heaven and in your eyes: I am no longer good enough to be named your son. ²² But the father said to his servants, Get out the first robe quickly, and put it on him, and put a ring on his hand and shoes on his feet: ²³ And get the fat young ox and put it to death, and let us have a feast, and be glad. ²⁴ For this, my son, who was dead, is living again; he had gone away from me, and has come back. And they were full of joy.

¹⁴ And the Pharisees, who had a great love of money, hearing these things, were making sport of him.

³⁴ I say to you, In that night there will be two men sleeping in one bed, and one will be taken away and the other let go. ³⁵ Two women will be crushing grain together; one will be taken away and the other let go.

¹³ The tax-farmer, on the other hand, keeping far away, and not lifting up even his eyes to heaven, made signs of grief and said, God, have mercy on me, a sinner.

¹⁰ For the Son of man came to make search for those who are wandering from the way, and to be their Saviour.

³⁸ Saying, A blessing on the King who comes in the name of the Lord; peace in heaven and glory in the highest. ³⁹ And some of the Pharisees among the people said to him, Master, make your disciples be quiet. ⁴⁰ And he said in answer, I say to you, if these men keep quiet, the very stones will be crying out.

²⁰ And they kept watch on him, and sent out secret representatives, who were acting the part of good men, in order that they might get something from his words, on account of which they might give him up to the government and into the power of the ruler. ²¹ And they put a question to him, saying, Master, we are certain that your teaching and your words are right, and that you have no respect for a man's position, but you are teaching the true way of God: ²² Is it right for us to make payment of taxes to Caesar or not? ²³ But he saw through their trick and said to them, ²⁴ Let me see a penny. Whose image and name are on it? And they said, Caesar's. ²⁵ And he said, Then give to Caesar the things which are Caesar's, and to God the things which are God's.

²³ It will be hard for women who are with child, and for her with a baby at the breast, in those days. For great trouble will come on the land, and wrath on this people. ²⁴ And they will be put to death with the sword, and will be taken as prisoners into all the nations; and Jerusalem will be crushed under the feet of the Gentiles, till the times of the Gentiles are complete.

³⁷ For I say to you that these words will be put into effect in me, And he was numbered among the evil-doers: for what has been said in the Writings about me has an end.

⁶⁴ And, covering his eyes, they said to him, Are you prophet enough to say who gave you that blow? ⁶⁵ And they said a number of other evil things against him. ⁶⁶ And when it was day, the rulers of the people came together, with the chief priests and the scribes, and they took him before their Sanhedrin, saying, ⁶⁷ If you are the Christ, say so. But he said, If I say so you will not have belief; ⁶⁸ And if I put a question to you, you will not give an answer. ⁶⁹ But in the future the Son of man will be seated at the right hand of the power of God. ⁷⁰ And they all said, Are you then the Son of God? and he said, You say that I am.

⁷⁰ And they all said, Are you then the Son of God? and he said, You say that I am.

¹ And they all went and took him before Pilate. ² And they made statements against him, saying, This man has to our knowledge been teaching our nation to do wrong, and not to make payment of taxes to Caesar, even saying that he himself is Christ, a king.

² And they made statements against him, saying, This man has to our knowledge been teaching our nation to do wrong, and not to make payment of taxes to Caesar, even saying that he himself is Christ, a king. ³ And Pilate said to him, Are you the King of the Jews? And he said in answer, You say so. ⁴ And Pilate said to the chief priests and the people, In my opinion this man has done no wrong. ⁵ But they became more violent than before, saying, He has made trouble among the people, teaching through all Judaea from Galilee to this place.

⁵ But they became more violent than before, saying, He has made trouble among the people, teaching through all Judaea from Galilee to this place.

¹¹ And Herod, with the men of his army, put shame on him and made sport of him, and dressing him in shining robes, he sent him back to Pilate.

¹⁴ You say that this man has been teaching the people evil things: now I, after going into the question before you, see nothing wrong in this man in connection with the things which you have said against him:

¹⁴ You say that this man has been teaching the people evil things: now I, after going into the question before you, see nothing wrong in this man in connection with the things which you have said against him: ¹⁵ And Herod is of the same opinion, for he has sent him back to us; for, you see, he has done nothing for which I might put him to death. ¹⁶ And so I will give him punishment and let him go.

²⁰ And Pilate again said to them that it was his desire to let Jesus go free.

²² And he said to them a third time, Why, what evil has he done? I see no reason for putting him to death: I will give him punishment and let him go. ²³ But they went on crying out loudly, Let him be put to death on the cross. And they had their way.

²⁷ And a great band of people went after him, and of women making signs of grief and weeping for him.

³⁵ And the people were looking on. And the rulers made sport of him, saying, He was a saviour of others; let him do something for himself, if he is the Christ, the man of God's selection.

³⁷ And saying, If you are the King of the Jews, get yourself free. ³⁸ And these words were put in writing over him, THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.

⁴¹ And with reason; for we have the right reward of our acts, but this man has done nothing wrong. ⁴² And he said, Jesus, keep me in mind when you come in your kingdom.

⁴⁷ And when the captain saw what was done, he gave praise to God, saying, Without doubt this was an upright man. ⁴⁸ And all the people who had come together to see it, when they saw the things which were done, went back again making signs of grief. ⁴⁹ And all his friends and the women who came with him from Galilee, were waiting at a distance, watching these things.

⁵⁵ And the women who had come with him from Galilee went after him and saw the place and how his body had been put to rest;

¹ But on the first day of the week, at dawn, they came to the place where his body had been put, taking the spices which they had got ready.

⁷ The Son of man will be given up into the hands of evil-doers, and be put to death on the cross, and on the third day he will come back to life.

²⁶ Was it not necessary for the Christ to go through these things, and to come into his glory?

⁴³ The day after this, Jesus had a desire to go into Galilee. He came across Philip and said to him, Come and be my disciple.

⁴⁹ Nathanael said to him, Rabbi, you are the Son of God, you are King of Israel!

¹¹ This, the first of his signs, Jesus did at Cana in Galilee and let his glory be seen openly; and his disciples put their faith in him.

¹⁴ As the snake was lifted up by Moses in the waste land, even so it is necessary for the Son of man to be lifted up:

⁴¹ Others said, This is the Christ. But others said, Not so; will the Christ come from Galilee?

⁵² This was their answer: And do you come from Galilee? Make search and you will see that no prophet comes out of Galilee.

³³ This he said, pointing to the sort of death he would have. ³⁴ Then the people in answer said to him, The law says that the Christ will have life without end: how say you then that it is necessary for the Son of man to be lifted up? Who is this Son of man?

³ And if I go and make ready a place for you, I will come back again and will take you to be with me, so that you may be where I am.

⁶ If a man does not keep himself in me, he becomes dead and is cut off like a dry branch; such branches are taken up and put in the fire and burned.

²² If I had not come and been their teacher they would have had no sin: but now they have no reason to give for their sin. ²³ He who has hate for me has hate for my Father. ²⁴ If I had not done among them the works which no other man ever did, they would have had no sin: but now they have seen, and they have had hate in their hearts for me and my Father.

²⁴ Father, it is my desire that these whom you have given to me may be by my side where I am, so that they may see my glory which you have given to me, because you had love for me before the world came into being.

²⁸ So they took Jesus from the house of Caiaphas to the Praetorium. It was early. They themselves did not go into the Praetorium, so that they might not become unclean, but might take the Passover. ²⁹ So Pilate came out to them and put the question: What have you to say against this man? ³⁰ They said to him in answer, If the man was not a wrongdoer we would not have given him up to you.

³⁰ They said to him in answer, If the man was not a wrongdoer we would not have given him up to you. ³¹ Then Pilate said to them, Take him yourselves and let him be judged by your law. But the Jews said to him, We have no right to put any man to death. ³² That the word of Jesus might come true, pointing to the sort of death he would have.

³² That the word of Jesus might come true, pointing to the sort of death he would have. ³³ Then Pilate went back into the Praetorium and sent for Jesus and said to him, Are you the King of the Jews?

³³ Then Pilate went back into the Praetorium and sent for Jesus and said to him, Are you the King of the Jews? ³⁴ Jesus made answer, Do you say this of yourself, or did others say it about me?

³⁴ Jesus made answer, Do you say this of yourself, or did others say it about me? ³⁵ Pilate said, Am I a Jew? Your nation and the chief priests have given you into my hands: what have you done?

³⁵ Pilate said, Am I a Jew? Your nation and the chief priests have given you into my hands: what have you done? ³⁶ Jesus said in answer, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom was of this world, my disciples would have made a good fight to keep me out of the hands of the Jews: but my kingdom is not here.

³⁶ Jesus said in answer, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom was of this world, my disciples would have made a good fight to keep me out of the hands of the Jews: but my kingdom is not here. ³⁷ Then Pilate said to him, Are you then a king? Jesus made answer, You say that I am a king. For this purpose was I given birth, and for this purpose I came into the world, that I might give witness to what is true. Every lover of what is true gives ear to my voice.

³⁷ Then Pilate said to him, Are you then a king? Jesus made answer, You say that I am a king. For this purpose was I given birth, and for this purpose I came into the world, that I might give witness to what is true. Every lover of what is true gives ear to my voice. ³⁸ Pilate said to him, True? what is true? Having said this he went out again to the Jews and said to them, I see no wrong in him.

³⁸ Pilate said to him, True? what is true? Having said this he went out again to the Jews and said to them, I see no wrong in him. ³⁹ But every year you make a request to me to let a prisoner go free at the Passover. Is it your desire that I let the King of the Jews go free?

³⁹ But every year you make a request to me to let a prisoner go free at the Passover. Is it your desire that I let the King of the Jews go free? ⁴⁰ Then again they gave a loud cry, Not this man, but Barabbas. Now Barabbas was an outlaw.

⁴⁰ Then again they gave a loud cry, Not this man, but Barabbas. Now Barabbas was an outlaw.

¹ Then Pilate took Jesus and had him whipped with cords.

¹ Then Pilate took Jesus and had him whipped with cords. ² And the men of the army made a crown of thorns and put it on his head, and they put a purple robe on him. ³ And they kept coming and saying, Long life to the King of the Jews! And they gave him blows with their hands.

³ And they kept coming and saying, Long life to the King of the Jews! And they gave him blows with their hands. ⁴ And Pilate went out again and said to them, See, I let him come out to you to make it clear to you that I see no wrong in him.

⁴ And Pilate went out again and said to them, See, I let him come out to you to make it clear to you that I see no wrong in him.

⁴ And Pilate went out again and said to them, See, I let him come out to you to make it clear to you that I see no wrong in him. ⁵ Then Jesus came out with the crown of thorns and the purple robe. And Pilate said to them, Here is the man!

⁵ Then Jesus came out with the crown of thorns and the purple robe. And Pilate said to them, Here is the man! ⁶ So when the chief priests and the police saw him they gave a loud cry, To the cross! to the cross! Pilate said to them, Take him yourselves and put him on the cross: I see no crime in him. ⁷ And the Jews made answer, We have a law, and by that law it is right for him to be put to death because he said he was the Son of God.

¹¹ Jesus gave this answer: You would have no power at all over me if it was not given to you by God; so that he who gave me up to you has the greater sin. ¹² Hearing this, Pilate had a desire to let him go free, but the Jews said in a loud voice, If you let this man go, you are not Caesar's friend: everyone who makes himself a king goes against Caesar.

¹⁴ It was the day when they made ready for the Passover; and it was about the sixth hour. And he said to the Jews, There is your King! ¹⁵ Then they gave a loud cry, Away with him! away with him! to the cross! Pilate said to them, Am I to put your King to death on the cross? The chief priests said in answer, We have no king but Caesar.

¹⁵ Then they gave a loud cry, Away with him! away with him! to the cross! Pilate said to them, Am I to put your King to death on the cross? The chief priests said in answer, We have no king but Caesar. ¹⁶ So then he gave him up to them to be put to death on the cross. And they took Jesus away;

¹⁶ So then he gave him up to them to be put to death on the cross. And they took Jesus away; ¹⁷ And he went out with his cross on him to the place which is named Dead Man's Head in Hebrew, Golgotha:

¹⁷ And he went out with his cross on him to the place which is named Dead Man's Head in Hebrew, Golgotha: ¹⁸ Where they put him on the cross with two others, one on this side and one on that, and Jesus in the middle.

¹⁸ Where they put him on the cross with two others, one on this side and one on that, and Jesus in the middle. ¹⁹ And Pilate put on the cross a statement in writing. The writing was: JESUS THE NAZARENE, THE KING OF THE JEWS.

¹⁹ And Pilate put on the cross a statement in writing. The writing was: JESUS THE NAZARENE, THE KING OF THE JEWS. ²⁰ The writing was seen by a number of the Jews, for the place where Jesus was put to death on the cross was near the town; and the writing was in Hebrew and Latin and Greek.

²⁰ The writing was seen by a number of the Jews, for the place where Jesus was put to death on the cross was near the town; and the writing was in Hebrew and Latin and Greek. ²¹ Then the chief priests of the Jews said to Pilate, Do not put, The King of the Jews, but, He said, I am the King of the Jews.

²¹ Then the chief priests of the Jews said to Pilate, Do not put, The King of the Jews, but, He said, I am the King of the Jews.

²¹ Then the chief priests of the Jews said to Pilate, Do not put, The King of the Jews, but, He said, I am the King of the Jews. ²² But Pilate made answer, What I have put in writing will not be changed.

²² But Pilate made answer, What I have put in writing will not be changed. ²³ And when Jesus was nailed to the cross, the men of the army took his clothing, and made a division of it into four parts, to every man a part, and they took his coat: now the coat was without a join, made out of one bit of cloth.

²³ And when Jesus was nailed to the cross, the men of the army took his clothing, and made a division of it into four parts, to every man a part, and they took his coat: now the coat was without a join, made out of one bit of cloth. ²⁴ So they said among themselves, Let this not be cut up, but let us put it to the decision of chance and see who gets it. They did this so that the Writings might come true, which say, They made a distribution of my clothing among them, and my coat they put to the decision of chance. This was what the men of the army did.

²⁴ So they said among themselves, Let this not be cut up, but let us put it to the decision of chance and see who gets it. They did this so that the Writings might come true, which say, They made a distribution of my clothing among them, and my coat they put to the decision of chance. This was what the men of the army did. ²⁵ Now by the side of the cross of Jesus were his mother, and his mother's sister Mary, the wife of Cleopas, and Mary Magdalene. ²⁶ So when Jesus saw his mother and the disciple who was dear to him, he said to his mother, Mother, there is your son! ²⁷ Then he said to the disciple, There is your mother! And from that hour the disciple took her to his house. ²⁸ After this, being conscious that all things had now been done so that the Writings might come true, Jesus said, Give me water. ²⁹ Now there was a vessel ready, full of bitter wine, and they put a sponge full of it on a stick and put it to his mouth. ³⁰ So when Jesus had taken the wine he said, All is done. And with his head bent he gave up his spirit.

³⁰ So when Jesus had taken the wine he said, All is done. And with his head bent he gave up his spirit. ³¹ Now it was the day of getting ready for the Passover, and so that the bodies might not be on the cross on the Sabbath because the day of that Sabbath was a great day, the Jews made a request to Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.

³⁸ After these things, Joseph of Arimathaea, who was a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews, made a request to Pilate to let him take away the body of Jesus: and Pilate said he might do so. So he went and took away his body. ³⁹ And Nicodemus came he who had first come to Jesus by night with a roll of myrrh and aloes mixed, about a hundred pounds. ⁴⁰ Then they took the body of Jesus, folding linen about it with the spices, as is the way of the Jews when they put the dead to rest. ⁴¹ Now there was a garden near the cross, and in the garden a new place for the dead in which no man had ever been put. ⁴² So they put Jesus there, because it was the Jews' day of getting ready for the Passover, and the place was near.

⁴² So they put Jesus there, because it was the Jews' day of getting ready for the Passover, and the place was near.

²⁸ And Thomas said in answer, My Lord and my God!

¹⁰ In Phrygia and Pamphylia, in Egypt and the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and those who have come from Rome, Jews by birth and others who have become Jews,

²⁰ The sun will become dark and the moon will be turned to blood, before that great day of the Lord comes in glory:

²³ Him, when he was given up, by the decision and knowledge of God, you put to death on the cross, by the hands of evil men:

³⁷ Now when these words came to their ears their hearts were troubled, and they said to Peter and the other Apostles, Brothers, what are we to do?

¹⁴ But you would have nothing to do with the Holy and Upright One, and made request for a man of blood to be given to you,

¹⁷ And now, my brothers, I am conscious that you did this, as did your rulers, without knowledge.

²⁷ For, truly, in this town, against your holy servant, Jesus, who was marked out by you as Christ, Herod, and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and the people of Israel, came together,

²⁷ For, truly, in this town, against your holy servant, Jesus, who was marked out by you as Christ, Herod, and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and the people of Israel, came together, ²⁸ To do that which had been fixed before by your hand and your purpose.

³⁰ The God of our fathers gave Jesus back to life, whom you had put to death, hanging him on a tree.

³³ But when these words came to their ears, they were cut to the heart, and had a mind to put them to death.

³⁷ After this man, there was Judas of Galilee, at the time of the numbering, and some of the people went after him: he was put to death, and all his supporters were put to flight.

⁴⁰ And he seemed to them to be right: and they sent for the Apostles, and, after having them whipped and giving them orders to give no teaching in the name of Jesus, they let them go. ⁴¹ So they went away from the Sanhedrin, happy to undergo shame for the Name.

⁶ These they took to the Apostles, who, after prayer, put their hands on them.

⁹ But some of those who were of the Synagogue named that of the Libertines, and some of the men of Cyrene and of Alexandria and those from Cilicia and Asia, had arguments with Stephen.

⁵⁴ Hearing these things, they were cut to the heart and moved with wrath against him.

⁵⁷ But with loud cries, and stopping their ears, they made an attack on him all together,

⁵⁹ And Stephen, while he was being stoned, made prayer to God, saying, Lord Jesus, take my spirit. ⁶⁰ And going down on his knees, he said in a loud voice, Lord, do not make them responsible for this sin. And when he had said this, he went to his rest.

¹⁹ Give me this power, so that when I put my hands on anyone he may get the Holy Spirit.

³² Now the place in the book where he was reading was this: He was taken, like a sheep, to be put to death; and as a lamb is quiet when its wool is being cut, so he made no sound:

² A serious-minded man, fearing God with all his family; he gave much money to the poor, and made prayer to God at all times.

²² And they said, Cornelius, a captain, an upright and God-fearing man, respected by all the nation of the Jews, had word from God by an angel to send for you to his house, and to give hearing to your words.

³⁷ That word you yourselves have knowledge of, which was made public through all Judaea, starting from Galilee, after the baptism of which John was the preacher,

²⁴ For he was a good man and full of the Holy Spirit and of faith: and a great number were joined to the Lord.

¹ Now there were at Antioch, in the church there, prophets and teachers, Barnabas, and Symeon who was named Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manaen, a relation of Herod the king, and Saul.

²⁸ And though no cause of death was seen in him, they made a request to Pilate that he might be put to death. ²⁹ And when they had done all the things said in the Writings about him, they took him down from the tree, and put him in the place of the dead.

²⁰ And when they had taken them before the authorities, they said, These men, who are Jews, are greatly troubling our town; ²¹ Teaching rules of living which it is not right for us to have or to keep, being Romans.

³¹ And they said, Have faith in the Lord Jesus, and you and your family will have salvation.

³⁷ But Paul said to them, They have given us who are Romans a public whipping without judging us, and have put us in prison. Will they now send us out secretly? no, truly, let them come themselves and take us out.

⁶ And when they were not able to get them, they took Jason and some of the brothers by force before the rulers of the town, crying, These men, who have made trouble all over the world have now come here; ⁷ Whom Jason has taken into his house: and they are acting against the orders of Caesar, saying that there is another king, Jesus.

²¹ Preaching to Jews and to Greeks the need for a turning of the heart to God, and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.

³⁶ For a great mass of people came after them, crying out, Away with him!

²² And they gave him a hearing as far as this word; then with loud voices they said, Away with this man from the earth; it is not right for him to be living.

¹⁰ And when the argument became very violent, the chief captain, fearing that Paul would be pulled in two by them, gave orders to the armed men to take him by force from among them, and take him into the army building.

⁵ For this man, in our opinion, is a cause of trouble, a maker of attacks on the government among Jews through all the empire, and a chief mover in the society of the Nazarenes:

¹³ And they are not able to give facts in support of the things which they say against me now.

²⁰ And the law came in addition, to make wrongdoing worse; but where there was much sin, there was much more grace: ²¹ That, as sin had power in death, so grace might have power through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

⁹ Because, if you say with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and have faith in your heart that God has made him come back from the dead, you will have salvation: ¹⁰ For with the heart man has faith to get righteousness, and with the mouth he says that Jesus is Lord to get salvation. ¹¹ Because it is said in the holy Writings, Whoever has faith in him will not be shamed. ¹² And the Jew is not different from the Greek: for there is the same Lord of all, who is good to all who have hope in his name: ¹³ Because, Whoever will give worship to the name of the Lord will get salvation. ¹⁴ But how will they give worship to him in whom they have no faith? and how will they have faith in him of whom they have not had news? and how will they have news without a preacher?

¹⁴ Give blessing and not curses to those who are cruel to you.

⁸ Of which not one of the rulers of this world had knowledge: for if they had, they would not have put the Lord of glory on the cross:

¹² And with our hands we do the hardest work: when they give us curses we give blessings, when we undergo punishment we take it quietly;

¹⁰ Or is a thief, or the worse for drink, or makes use of strong language, or takes by force what is not his, will have any part in the kingdom of God. ¹¹ And such were some of you; but you have been washed, you have been made holy, you have been given righteousness in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God.

⁸ We are without fear, desiring to be free from the body, and to be with the Lord.

³ And I have knowledge of such a man if he was in the body, or out of the body, I am not able to say, but God only, ⁴ How he was taken up into Paradise, and words came to his ears which may not be said, and which man is not able to say.

¹³ Christ has made us free from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us: because it is said in the Writings, A curse on everyone who is put to death by hanging on a tree:

¹⁴ For he is our peace, who has made the two into one, and by whom the middle wall of division has been broken down, ¹⁵ Having in his flesh put an end to that which made the division between us, even the law with its rules and orders, so that he might make in himself, of the two, one new man, so making peace; ¹⁶ And that the two might come into agreement with God in one body through the cross, so putting an end to that division. ¹⁷ And he came preaching peace to you who were far off, and to those who were near; ¹⁸ Because through him the two of us are able to come near in one Spirit to the Father.

¹¹ And have no company with the works of the dark, which give no fruit, but make their true quality clear;

²³ I am in a hard position between the two, having a desire to go away and be with Christ, which is very much better:

¹³ Though I had said violent words against God, and done cruel acts, causing great trouble: but I was given mercy, because I did it without knowledge, not having faith;

¹⁵ It is a true saying, in which all may put their faith, that Christ Jesus came into the world to give salvation to sinners, of whom I am the chief: ¹⁶ But for this reason I was given mercy, so that in me, the chief of sinners, Jesus Christ might make clear all his mercy, as an example to those who in the future would have faith in him to eternal life.

¹³ I give you orders before God, the giver of life, and Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate gave witness to the faith,

⁸ But if it sends up thorns and evil plants, it is of no use and is ready to be cursed; its only end is to be burned.

¹⁹ And this hope is like a strong band for our souls, fixed and certain, and going in to that which is inside the veil;

²⁵ So that he is fully able to be the saviour of all who come to God through him, because he is ever living to make prayer to God for them. ²⁶ It was right for us to have such a high priest, one who is holy and without evil, doing no wrong, having no part with sinners, and made higher than the heavens:

³ And inside the second veil was the place which is named the Holy of holies; ⁴ Having a vessel of gold in it for burning perfumes, and the ark of the agreement, which was covered with gold and which had in it a pot made of gold for the manna, and Aaron's rod which put out buds, and the stones with the writing of the agreement; ⁵ And over it were the winged ones of glory with their wings covering the mercy-seat; about which it is not possible now to say anything in detail. ⁶ Now while these things were in existence, the priests went into the first Tent at all times, for prayer and the making of offerings. ⁷ But only the high priest went into the second, once a year, not without making an offering of blood for himself and for the errors of the people: ⁸ The Holy Spirit witnessing by this that the way into the holy place had not at that time been made open, while the first Tent was still in being;

¹⁹ So then, my brothers, being able to go into the holy place without fear, because of the blood of Jesus, ²⁰ By the new and living way which he made open for us through the veil, that is to say, his flesh; ²¹ And having a great priest over the house of God, ²² Let us go in with true hearts, in certain faith, having our hearts made free from the sense of sin and our bodies washed with clean water:

² Having our eyes fixed on Jesus, the guide and end of our faith, who went through the pains of the cross, not caring for the shame, because of the joy which was before him, and who has now taken his place at the right hand of God's seat of power.

¹² For this reason Jesus was put to death outside the walls, so that he might make the people holy by his blood. ¹³ Let us then go out to him outside the circle of the tents, taking his shame on ourselves.

⁷ For this cause be ruled by God; but make war on the Evil One and he will be put to flight before you.

¹¹ Attempting to see what sort of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them was pointing to, when it gave witness to the pains which Christ would undergo and the glories which would come after them.

¹⁹ But through holy blood, like that of a clean and unmarked lamb, even the blood of Christ:

⁴ To whom you come, as to a living stone, not honoured by men, but of great and special value to God;

⁶ Because it is said in the Writings, See, I am placing a keystone in Zion, of great and special value; and the man who has faith in him will not be put to shame. ⁷ And the value is for you who have faith; but it is said for those without faith, The very stone which the builders put on one side, was made the chief stone of the building;

²⁰ What credit is it if, when you have done evil, you take your punishment quietly? but if you are given punishment for doing right, and take it quietly, this is pleasing to God. ²¹ This is God's purpose for you: because Jesus himself underwent punishment for you, giving you an example, so that you might go in his footsteps: ²² Who did no evil, and there was no deceit in his mouth:

²² Who did no evil, and there was no deceit in his mouth: ²³ To sharp words he gave no sharp answer; when he was undergoing pain, no angry word came from his lips; but he put himself into the hands of the judge of righteousness:

²³ To sharp words he gave no sharp answer; when he was undergoing pain, no angry word came from his lips; but he put himself into the hands of the judge of righteousness: ²⁴ He took our sins on himself, giving his body to be nailed on the tree, so that we, being dead to sin, might have a new life in righteousness, and by his wounds we have been made well.

⁹ Not giving back evil for evil, or curse for curse, but in place of cursing, blessing; because this is the purpose of God for you that you may have a heritage of blessing.

¹⁶ Being conscious that you have done no wrong; so that those who say evil things about your good way of life as Christians may be put to shame. ¹⁷ Because if it is God's purpose for you to undergo pain, it is better to do so for well-doing than for evil-doing. ¹⁸ Because Christ once went through pain for sins, the upright one taking the place of sinners, so that through him we might come back to God; being put to death in the flesh, but given life in the Spirit;

¹⁸ Because Christ once went through pain for sins, the upright one taking the place of sinners, so that through him we might come back to God; being put to death in the flesh, but given life in the Spirit;

¹⁷ For the time has come for the judging, starting with the church of God; but if it makes a start with us, what will be the end of those who are not under the rule of God? ¹⁸ And if it is hard for even the good man to get salvation, what chance has the man without religion or the sinner?

⁸ If we say that we have no sin, we are false to ourselves and there is nothing true in us. ⁹ If we say openly that we have done wrong, he is upright and true to his word, giving us forgiveness of sins and making us clean from all evil.

¹ Everyone who has faith that Jesus is the Christ is a child of God: and everyone who has love for the Father has love for his child.

¹¹ And his witness is this, that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. ¹² He who has the Son has the life; he who has not the Son of God has not the life. ¹³ I have put these things in writing for you who have faith in the name of the Son of God, so that you may be certain that you have eternal life.

¹² These men are unseen rocks at your love-feasts, when they take part in them with you, keepers of sheep who without fear take the food of the sheep; clouds without water rushing before the wind, wasted trees without fruit, twice dead, pulled up by the roots,

⁷ He who has ears, let him give ear to what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes I will give of the fruit of the tree of life, which is in the Paradise of God.

¹⁶ And they say to the mountains and to the rocks, Come down on us, covering us from the face of him who is seated on the high seat, and from the wrath of the Lamb:

⁶ And in those days men will be hoping for death, and it will not come to them; and they will have a great desire for death, and death will go in flight from them.

⁴ What man is there who will not have fear before you, O Lord, and give glory to your name? because you only are holy; for all the nations will come and give worship before you; for your righteousness has been made clear.

¹¹ And they said evil things against the God of heaven because of their pain and their wounds; and they were not turned from their evil works.

¹³ These have one mind, and they give their power and authority to the beast. ¹⁴ These will make war against the Lamb, and the Lamb will overcome them, because he is the Lord of lords and King of kings; and those who are with him are named, marked out, and true.
