¹ And the Lord said to Moses, ² This is the law of the leper on the day when he is made clean: he is to be taken to the priest; ³ And the priest is to go outside the tent-circle; and if, after looking, the priest sees that the mark of the disease has gone from him, ⁴ Then the priest is to give orders to take, for him who is to be made clean, two living clean birds and some cedar wood and red thread and hyssop. ⁵ And the priest will give orders for one of the birds to be put to death in a vessel made of earth, over flowing water. ⁶ And he will take the living bird and the wood and the red thread and the hyssop and put them in the blood of the bird which was put to death over flowing water. ⁷ And shaking it seven times over the man who is to be made clean, he will say that he is clean and will let the living bird go free into the open country. ⁸ And he who is to be made clean will have his clothing washed and his hair cut and have a bath, and he will be clean. And after that he will come back to the tent-circle; but he is to keep outside his tent for seven days. ⁹ And on the seventh day he is to have all the hair cut off his head and his chin and over his eyes--all his hair is to be cut off--and he will have his clothing washed and his body bathed in water and he will be clean. ¹⁰ And on the eighth day let him take two male lambs, without any marks on them, and one female lamb of the first year, without a mark, and three tenth parts of an ephah of the best meal, mixed with oil, and one log of oil. ¹¹ And the priest who is making him clean will put the man who is being made clean, together with these things, before the door of the Tent of meeting. ¹² And the priest is to take one of the male lambs and give it as an offering for wrongdoing, and the log of oil, waving them for a wave offering before the Lord; ¹³ And he is to put the male lamb to death in the place where they put to death the sin-offering and the burned offering, in the holy place; for as the sin-offering is the property of the priest, so is the offering for wrongdoing: it is most holy. ¹⁴ And let the priest take some of the blood of the offering for wrongdoing and put it on the point of the right ear of him who is to be made clean, and on the thumb of his right hand and on the great toe of his right foot; ¹⁵ And take some of the oil and put it in the hollow of his left hand; ¹⁶ And let the priest put his right finger in the oil which is in his left hand, shaking it out with his finger seven times before the Lord; ¹⁷ And of the rest of the oil which is in his hand, the priest will put some on the point of the right ear of the man who is to be made clean, and on the thumb of his right hand and on the great toe of his right foot, over the blood of the offering for wrongdoing; ¹⁸ And the rest of the oil in the priest's hand he will put on the head of him who is to be made clean; and so the priest will make him free from sin before the Lord. ¹⁹ And the priest will give the sin-offering, and take away the sin of him who is to be made clean from his unclean condition; and after that he will put the burned offering to death. ²⁰ And the priest is to have the burned offering and the meal offering burned on the altar; and the priest will take away his sin and he will be clean. ²¹ And if he is poor and not able to get so much, then he may take one male lamb as an offering for wrongdoing, to be waved to take away his sin, and one tenth part of an ephah of the best meal mixed with oil for a meal offering, and a log of oil; ²² And two doves or two young pigeons, such as he is able to get; and one will be for a sin-offering and the other for a burned offering. ²³ And on the eighth day he will take them to the priest, to the door of the Tent of meeting before the Lord, so that he may be made clean. ²⁴ And the priest will take the lamb of the offering for wrongdoing and the oil, waving them for a wave offering before the Lord; ²⁵ And he will put to death the lamb of the offering for wrongdoing and the priest will take some of the blood of the offering for wrongdoing and put it on the point of the right ear of him who is to be made clean, and on the thumb of his right hand and on the great toe of his right foot; ²⁶ And the priest will put out some of the oil in the hollow of his left hand, ²⁷ Shaking out drops of oil with his right finger before the Lord seven times: ²⁸ And the priest will put some of the oil which is in his hand on the point of the ear of the man who is to be made clean and on the thumb of his right hand and on the great toe of his right foot, on the place where the blood of the offering for wrongdoing was put; ²⁹ And the rest of the oil which is in the priest's hand he will put on the head of him who is to be made clean, to take away his sin before the Lord. ³⁰ And he will make an offering of one of the doves or the young pigeons, such as he is able to get; ³¹ And of these, he will give one for a sin-offering and one for a burned offering, with the meal offering; and the priest will take away the sin of him who is to be made clean before the Lord. ³² This is the law for the man who has the disease of the leper on him, and who is not able to get that which is necessary for making himself clean.

And he went, taking with him ten talents of silver and six thousand shekels of gold, and ten changes of clothing. ⁶ And he took the letter to the king of Israel, in which the king of Aram had said, See, I have sent my servant Naaman to you to be made well, for he is a leper. ⁷ But the king of Israel, after reading the letter, was greatly troubled and said, Am I God, to give death and life? why does this man send a leper to me to be made well? is it not clear that he is looking for a cause of war? ⁸ Now Elisha, the man of God, hearing that the king of Israel had done this, sent to the king, saying, Why are you troubled? send the man to me, so that he may see that there is a prophet in Israel. ⁹ So Naaman, with all his horses and his carriages, came to the door of Elisha's house. ¹⁰ And Elisha sent a servant to him, saying, Go to Jordan, and after washing seven times in its waters your flesh will be well again and you will be clean. ¹¹ But Naaman was angry and went away and said, I had the idea that he would come out to see such an important person as I am, and make prayer to the Lord his God, and with a wave of his hand over the place make the leper well. ¹² Are not Abana and Pharpar, rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? may I not be washed in them and become clean? So turning, he went away in wrath. ¹³ Then his servants came to him and said, If the prophet had given you orders to do some great thing, would you not have done it? how much more then, when he says to you, Be washed and become clean? ¹⁴ Then he went down seven times into the waters of Jordan, as the man of God had said; and his flesh became like the flesh of a little child again, and he was clean. ¹⁵ Then he went back to the man of God, with all his train, and, taking his place before him, said, Now I am certain that there is no God in all the earth, but only in Israel: now then, take an offering from me. ¹⁶ But he said, By the life of the Lord whose servant I am, I will take nothing from you. And he did his best to make him take it but he would not. ¹⁷ Then Naaman said, If you will not, then let there be given to your servant as much earth as two beasts are able to take on their backs; because from now on, your servant will make no offering or burned offering to other gods, but only to the Lord. ¹⁸ But may your servant have the Lord's forgiveness for this one thing: when my master goes into the house of Rimmon for worship there, supported on my arm, and my head is bent in the house of Rimmon; when his head is bent in the house of Rimmon, may your servant have the Lord's forgiveness for this thing. ¹⁹ And he said to him, Go in peace. And he went from him some distance. ²⁰ But Gehazi, the servant of Elisha, the man of God, said, Now my master has taken nothing from Naaman, this Aramaean, of what he would have given him: by the living Lord, I will go after him and get something from him. ²¹ So Gehazi went after Naaman. And when Naaman saw him running after him, he got down from his carriage and went back to him and said, Is all well? ²² And he said, All is well: but my master has sent me, saying, Even now, two young men of the sons of the prophets have come to me from the hill-country of Ephraim; will you give me a talent of silver and two changes of clothing for them? ²³ And Naaman said, Be good enough to take two talents. And forcing him to take them, he put two talents of silver in two bags, with two changes of clothing, and gave them to his two servants to take before him. ²⁴ When he came to the hill, he took them from their hands, and put them away in the house; and he sent the men away, and they went. ²⁵ Then he came in and took his place before his master. And Elisha said to him, Where have you come from, Gehazi? And he said, Your servant went nowhere. ²⁶ And he said to him, Did not my heart go with you, when the man got down from his carriage and went back to you? Is this a time for getting money, and clothing, and olive-gardens and vine-gardens, and sheep and oxen, and men-servants and women-servants? ²⁷ Because of what you have done, the disease of Naaman the leper will take you in its grip, and your seed after you, for ever. And he went out from before him a leper as white as snow.

³ And the Evil One came and said to him, If you are the Son of God, give the word for these stones to become bread. ⁴ But he made answer and said, It is in the Writings, Bread is not man's only need, but every word which comes out of the mouth of God. ⁵ Then the Evil One took him to the holy town; and he put him on the highest point of the Temple and said to him, ⁶ If you are the Son of God, let yourself go down; for it is in the Writings, He will give his angels care over you; and, In their hands they will keep you up, so that your foot may not be crushed against a stone. ⁷ Jesus said to him, Again it is in the Writings, You may not put the Lord your God to the test. ⁸ Again, the Evil One took him up to a very high mountain, and let him see all the kingdoms of the world and the glory of them; ⁹ And he said to him, All these things will I give you, if you will go down on your face and give me worship. ¹⁰ Then said Jesus to him, Away, Satan: for it is in the Writings, Give worship to the Lord your God and be his servant only. ¹¹ Then the Evil One went away from him, and angels came and took care of him. 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:

¹⁷ From that time Jesus went about preaching and saying, Let your hearts be turned from sin, for the kingdom of heaven is near. ¹⁸ And when he was walking by the sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon, whose other name was Peter, and Andrew, his brother, who were putting a net into the sea; for they were fishermen. ¹⁹ And he said to them, Come after me, and I will make you fishers of men.

¹⁹ And he said to them, Come after me, and I will make you fishers of men. ²⁰ And straight away they let go the nets and went after him.

²⁰ And straight away they let go the nets and went after him. ²¹ And going on from there he saw two other brothers, James, the son of Zebedee, and John, his brother, in the boat with their father, stitching up their nets; and he said, Come.

²¹ And going on from there he saw two other brothers, James, the son of Zebedee, and John, his brother, in the boat with their father, stitching up their nets; and he said, Come. ²² And they went straight from the boat and their father and came after him. 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. ²⁴ And news of him went out through all Syria; and they took to him all who were ill with different diseases and pains, those having evil spirits and those who were off their heads, and those who had no power of moving. And he made them well. ²⁵ And there went after him great numbers from Galilee and Decapolis and Jerusalem and Judaea and from the other side of Jordan.

²⁸ And it came about, when Jesus had come to the end of these words, that the people were surprised at his teaching, ²⁹ for he was teaching as one having authority, and not as their scribes.

² And a leper came and gave him worship, saying, Lord, if it is your pleasure, you have power to make me clean. ³ And he put his hand on him, saying, It is my pleasure; be clean. And straight away he was made clean. ⁴ And Jesus said to him, See that you say nothing about this to anyone; but go and let the priest see you and make the offering which was ordered by Moses, for a witness to them.

⁴ And Jesus said to him, See that you say nothing about this to anyone; but go and let the priest see you and make the offering which was ordered by Moses, for a witness to them.

¹⁴ And when Jesus had come into Peter's house, he saw his wife's mother in bed, very ill. ¹⁵ And he put his hand on hers and the disease went from her, and she got up and took care of his needs. ¹⁶ And in the evening, they took to him a number of people who had evil spirits; and he sent the spirits out of them with a word, and made well all who were ill;

²¹ And another of the disciples said to him, Lord, let me first go and give the last honours to my father. ²² But Jesus said to him, Come after me; and let the dead take care of their dead.

²⁹ And they gave a loud cry, saying, What have we to do with you, you Son of God? Have you come here to give us punishment before the time?

³⁰ And their eyes were made open. And Jesus said to them sharply, Let no man have knowledge of it. ³¹ But they went out and gave news of him in all that land.

³³ And when the evil spirit had been sent out, the man had the power of talking: and they were all surprised, saying, Such a thing has never been seen in Israel.

³⁵ And Jesus went about all the towns and small places, teaching in their Synagogues and preaching the good news of the kingdom and making well all sorts of disease and pain. ³⁶ But when he saw all the people he was moved with pity for them, because they were troubled and wandering like sheep without a keeper.

² Now the names of the twelve are these: The first, Simon, who is named Peter, and Andrew, his brother; James, the son of Zebedee, and John, his brother;

⁷ And, on your way, say, The kingdom of heaven is near.

³⁷ He who has more love for his father or mother than for me is not good enough for me; he who has more love for son or daughter than for me is not good enough for me.

² Now when John had news in prison of the works of the Christ, he sent his disciples

⁵ The blind see; those who were not able to, are walking; lepers are made clean; those who were without hearing, now have their ears open; the dead come to life again, and the poor have the good news given to them.

¹⁰ This is he of whom it has been said, See, I send my servant before your face, who will make ready your way before you.

²² Then they took to him one with an evil spirit, who was blind and had no power of talking: and he made him well so that he had the power of talking and seeing. ²³ And all the people were surprised and said, Is not this the Son of David?

⁴³ But the unclean spirit, when he is gone out of a man, goes through dry places looking for rest, and getting it not.

⁵⁴ And coming into his country, he gave them teaching in their Synagogue, so that they were greatly surprised and said, Where did this man get this wisdom and these works of power?

² And he said to his servants, This is John the Baptist; he has come back from the dead, and so these powers are working in him.

²³ And after he had sent the people away, he went up into the mountain by himself for prayer: and when evening was come, he was there by himself.

³³ And those who were in the boat gave him worship, saying, Truly you are the Son of God.

²⁸ Then Jesus, answering, said to her, O woman, great is your faith: let your desire be done. And her daughter was made well from that hour.

³¹ So that the people were full of wonder when they saw that those who had no voice were talking, the feeble were made strong, those whose bodies were broken had the power of walking, and the blind were able to see: and they gave glory to the God of Israel.

⁵ While he was still talking, a bright cloud came over them: and a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is my dearly loved Son, with whom I am well pleased; give ear to him.

¹⁴ And when they came to the people, a man went down on his knees to him, saying,

²⁷ Then Peter said to him, See, we have given up everything and have come after you; what then will we have? ²⁸ And Jesus said to them, Truly I say to you that in the time when all things are made new, and the Son of man is seated in his glory, you who have come after me will be seated on twelve seats, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. ²⁹ And everyone who has given up houses, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or child, or land, for my name, will be given a hundred times as much, and have eternal life. ³⁰ But a great number who are first will be last, and some who are last will be first.

³¹ Which of the two did his father's pleasure? They say, The first. Jesus said to them, Truly I say to you, that tax-farmers and loose women are going into the kingdom of God before you. ³² For John came to you in the way of righteousness, and you had no faith in him, but the tax-farmers and the loose women had faith in him: and you, when you saw it, did not even have regret for your sins, so as to have faith in him.

² The scribes and the Pharisees have the authority of Moses; ³ All things, then, which they give you orders to do, these do and keep: but do not take their works as your example, for they say and do not.

¹⁶ A curse is on you, blind guides, who say, Whoever takes an oath by the Temple, it is nothing; but whoever takes an oath by the gold of the Temple, he is responsible. ¹⁷ You foolish ones and blind: which is greater, the gold, or the Temple which makes the gold holy? ¹⁸ And, Whoever takes an oath by the altar, it is nothing; but whoever takes an oath by the offering which is on it, he is responsible. ¹⁹ You blind ones: which is greater, the offering, or the altar which makes the offering holy? ²⁰ He, then, who takes an oath by the altar, takes it by the altar and by all things on it. ²¹ And he who takes an oath by the Temple, takes it by the Temple and by him whose house it is. ²² And he who takes an oath by heaven, takes it by the seat of God, and by him who is seated on it. ²³ A curse is on you, scribes and Pharisees, false ones! for you make men give a tenth of all sorts of sweet-smelling plants, but you give no thought to the more important things of the law, righteousness, and mercy, and faith; but it is right for you to do these, and not to let the others be undone. ²⁴ You blind guides, who take out a fly from your drink, but make no trouble over a camel.

²⁴ The Son of man goes, even as the Writings say of him: but a curse is on that man through whom the Son of man is given up; it would have been well for that man if he had never come into the world.

³¹ Then said Jesus to them, All of you will be turned away from me this night: for it is said in the Writings, I will put to death the keeper of the sheep, and the sheep of the flock will be put to flight.

⁵³ Does it not seem possible to you that if I make request to my Father he will even now send me an army of angels?

⁵⁵ And a number of women were there, watching from a distance, who had come with Jesus from Galilee, waiting on his needs.

¹⁵ So they took the money, and did as they had been ordered: and this account has been current among the Jews till the present time.

⁵ And there went out to him all the people of Judaea, and all those of Jerusalem, and they were given baptism by him in the river Jordan, saying that they were sinners.

¹⁶ And going by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon, and Andrew, the brother of Simon, putting a net into the sea: for they were fishermen. ¹⁷ And Jesus said to them, Come after me, and I will make you fishers of men. ¹⁸ And they went straight from their nets, and came after him. ¹⁹ And going on a little farther, he saw James, the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, who were in their boat stitching up their nets. ²⁰ And he said, Come after me: and they went away from their father Zebedee, who was in the boat with the servants, and came after him. ²¹ And they came to Capernaum; and on the Sabbath he went into the Synagogue and gave teaching.

²³ And there was in their Synagogue a man with an unclean spirit; and he gave a cry,

²⁵ And Jesus said to him sharply, Be quiet, and come out of him.

³¹ And he came and took her by the hand, lifting her up; and she became well, and took care of their needs.

³⁴ And a number, who were ill with different diseases, he made well, and sent out evil spirits; but he did not let the evil spirits say anything, because they had knowledge of him.

³⁹ And he went into their Synagogues in every part of Galilee, preaching and driving out evil spirits.

⁴⁵ But he went out, and made it public, giving an account of it everywhere, so that Jesus was no longer able to go openly into a town, but was outside in the waste land; and they came to him from every part.

¹ And when he came into Capernaum again after some days, the news went about that he was in the house.

¹ And when he came into Capernaum again after some days, the news went about that he was in the house. ² And a great number had come together, so that there was no longer room for them, no, not even about the door: and he gave them teaching.

¹³ And he went out again by the seaside; and all the people came to him, and he gave them teaching.

² And they were watching him to see if he would make him well on the Sabbath day, so that they might have something against him.

⁷ And Jesus went away with his disciples to the sea, and a great number from Galilee came after him: and from Judaea,

¹¹ And the unclean spirits, whenever they saw him, went down before him, crying out, and saying, You are the Son of God. ¹² And he gave them special orders not to say who he was.

¹² And he gave them special orders not to say who he was.

¹⁶ To Simon he gave the second name of Peter; ¹⁷ And to James, the son of Zebedee, and John, the brother of James, he gave the second name of Boanerges, which is, Sons of thunder: ¹⁸ And Andrew, and Philip, and Bartholomew, and Matthew, and Thomas, and James, the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus, and Simon the Zealot;

³⁹ And he came out of his sleep, and gave strong orders to the wind, and said to the sea, Peace, be at rest. And the wind went down, and there was a great calm.

² And when he had got out of the boat, straight away there came to him from the place of the dead a man with an unclean spirit.

⁷ And crying out with a loud voice he said, What have I to do with you, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? In God's name, do not be cruel to me.

²³ And made strong prayers to him, saying, My little daughter is near to death: it is my prayer that you will come and put your hands on her, so that she may be made well, and have life.

²⁹ And straight away the fountain of her blood was stopped, and she had a feeling in her body that her disease had gone and she was well.

³⁷ And he did not let anyone come with him, but Peter and James and John, the brother of James.

⁴¹ And taking her by the hand, he said to her, Talitha cumi, which is, My child, I say to you, Get up.

⁴³ And he gave them special orders that they were not to say anything of this; and he said that some food was to be given to her.

² And when the Sabbath day had come, he was teaching in the Synagogue; and a number of people hearing him were surprised, saying, From where did this man get these things? and, What is the wisdom given to this man, and what are these works of power done by his hands?

³⁴ And he got out, and saw a great mass of people, and he had pity on them, because they were like sheep without a keeper: and he gave them teaching about a number of things.

⁴⁶ And after he had sent them away, he went up into a mountain for prayer. ⁴⁷ And by evening, the boat was in the middle of the sea, and he by himself on the land. ⁴⁸ And seeing that they had trouble in getting their boat through the water, because the wind was against them, about the fourth watch of the night he came to them, walking on the sea; and he would have gone past them;

³ Now the Pharisees, and all the Jews, do not take food without washing their hands with care, keeping the old rule which has been handed down to them: ⁴ And when they come from the market-place, they take no food till their hands are washed; and a number of other orders there are, which have been handed down to them to keep--washings of cups and pots and brass vessels. ⁵ And the Pharisees and the scribes put the question to him, Why do your disciples not keep the rules of the fathers, but take their bread with unwashed hands? ⁶ And he said, Well did Isaiah say of you, you false ones: These people give me honour with their lips, but their heart is far from me. ⁷ But their worship is to no purpose, while they give as their teaching the rules of men. ⁸ For, turning away from the law of God, you keep the rules of men. ⁹ And he said to them, Truly you put on one side the law of God, so that you may keep the rules which have been handed down to you. ¹⁰ For Moses said, Give honour to your father and mother, and, He who says evil of father or mother, let him have the punishment of death: ¹¹ But you say, If a man says to his father or his mother, That by which you might have had profit from me is Corban, that is to say, Given to God, ¹² You no longer let him do anything for his father or his mother; ¹³ Making the word of God of no effect by your rule, which you have given: and a number of other such things you do.

²⁵ But a woman, whose little daughter had an unclean spirit, having had news of him, came straight away and went down at his feet.

³⁰ And she went away to her house, and saw the child on the bed, and the evil spirit gone out.

³⁶ And he gave them orders not to give news of it to anyone; but the more he made this request, so much the more they made it public. ³⁷ And they were overcome with wonder, saying, He has done all things well: he even gives back the power of hearing and the power of talking to those who have been without them.

² And after six days Jesus took with him Peter and James and John, and made them go up with him into a high mountain by themselves: and he was changed in form before them:

⁷ And a cloud came over them; and a voice came out of the cloud, saying, This is my dearly loved Son, give ear to him.

²⁰ And they took him to him: and when he saw him, the spirit in him straight away became violent; and he went down on the earth, rolling about and streaming at the lips.

²² And frequently it has sent him into the fire and into the water, for his destruction; but if you are able to do anything, have pity on us, and give us help. ²³ And Jesus said to him, If you are able! All things are possible to him who has faith.

²⁵ And when Jesus saw that the people came running together, he gave orders to the unclean spirit, saying to him, You, spirit, who are the cause of his loss of voice and hearing, I say to you, come out of him, and never again go into him. ²⁶ And after crying out and shaking him violently, it came out: and the child became like one dead; so that most of them said, He is dead.

¹ And he got up, and went into the country of Judaea on the other side of Jordan: and great numbers of people came together to him again; and, as was his way, he gave them teaching.

¹⁷ And while he was going out into the way, a man came running to him, and went down on his knees, saying, Good Master, what have I to do so that I may have eternal life?

²⁴ And the disciples were full of wonder at his words. But Jesus said to them again, Children, how hard it is for those who put faith in wealth to come into the kingdom of God!

²⁸ Peter said to him, See, we have given up everything, and come after you. ²⁹ Jesus said, Truly I say to you, There is no man who has given up house, or brothers, or sisters, or mother, or father, or children, or land, because of me and the good news,

²⁹ Jesus said, Truly I say to you, There is no man who has given up house, or brothers, or sisters, or mother, or father, or children, or land, because of me and the good news, ³⁰ Who will not get a hundred times as much now in this time, houses, and brothers, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and land--though with great troubles; and, in the world to come, eternal life. ³¹ But a great number who are first will be last: and those who are last will be first. ³² And they were on the way, going up to Jerusalem; and Jesus was going before them: and they were full of wonder; but those who came after him were in fear. And again he took the twelve, and gave them word of the things which were to come on him,

³⁵ And there came to him James and John, the sons of Zebedee, saying to him, Master, will you give us whatever may be our request?

³³ And he took with him Peter and James and John, and grief and great trouble came on him.

⁴¹ Who went with him when he was in Galilee and took care of him; and a number of other women who came up with him to Jerusalem.

² As they were handed down to us by those who saw them from the first and were preachers of the word, ³ It seemed good to me, having made observation, with great care, of the direction of events in their order, to put the facts in writing for you, most noble Theophilus;

¹⁵ For he will be great in the eyes of the Lord; he will not take wine or strong drink; and he will be full of the Spirit of God from his birth. ¹⁶ And through him great numbers of the children of Israel will be turned to the Lord their God. ¹⁷ And he will go before his face in the spirit and power of Elijah, turning the hearts of fathers to their children, and wrongdoers to the way of righteousness; to make ready a people whose hearts have been turned to the Lord.

³⁵ And the angel in answer said to her, The Holy Spirit will come on you, and the power of the Most High will come to rest on you, and so that which will come to birth will be named holy, Son of God.

⁷⁰ As he said, by the mouth of his holy prophets, from the earliest times,

⁷⁶ And you, child, will be named the prophet of the Most High: you will go before the face of the Lord, to make ready his ways; ⁷⁷ To give knowledge of salvation to his people, through the forgiveness of sins,

¹⁰ And the angel said, Have no fear; for truly, I give you good news of great joy which will be for all the people: ¹¹ For on this day, in the town of David, a Saviour has come to birth, who is Christ the Lord.

⁴⁹ And he said to them, Why were you looking for me? was it not clear to you that my right place was in my Father's house?

² When Annas and Caiaphas were high priests, the word of the Lord came to John, the son of Zacharias, in the waste land.

² When Annas and Caiaphas were high priests, the word of the Lord came to John, the son of Zacharias, in the waste land. ³ And he came into all the country round about Jordan, preaching baptism as a sign of forgiveness of sin for those whose hearts were changed.

³ And he came into all the country round about Jordan, preaching baptism as a sign of forgiveness of sin for those whose hearts were changed. ⁴ As it says in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet, The voice of one crying in the waste land, Make ready the way of the Lord, make his roads straight.

⁴ As it says in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet, The voice of one crying in the waste land, Make ready the way of the Lord, make his roads straight. ⁵ Every valley will be lifted up, and all the mountains and hills made low, and the twisted will be made straight, and the rough ways smooth;

⁵ Every valley will be lifted up, and all the mountains and hills made low, and the twisted will be made straight, and the rough ways smooth; ⁶ And all flesh will see the salvation of God.

⁶ And all flesh will see the salvation of God. ⁷ So he said to the people who went out to him for baptism: You offspring of snakes, at whose word are you going in flight from the wrath to come? ⁸ Make clear by your acts that your hearts have been changed; and do not say to yourselves, We have Abraham for our father: for I say to you that God is able from these stones to make children of Abraham. ⁹ And even now the axe is put to the root of the trees; and every tree which does not have good fruit will be cut down and put into the fire. ¹⁰ And the people put questions to him, saying, What have we to do? ¹¹ And he made answer and said to them, He who has two coats, let him give to him who has not even one; and he who has food, let him do the same. ¹² Then tax-farmers came to him for baptism and said to him, Master, what have we to do? ¹³ And he said to them, Do not make an attempt to get more money than the right amount. ¹⁴ And men of the army put questions to him, saying, And what have we to do? And he said to them, Do no violent acts to any man, and do not take anything without right, and let your payment be enough for you. ¹⁵ And while the people were waiting, and all men were questioning in their hearts about John, if he was the Christ or not, ¹⁶ John made answer, saying to them all, Truly, I give you baptism with water, but one is coming who is greater than I, whose shoes I am not good enough to undo: he will give you baptism with the Holy Spirit, and with fire:

¹⁶ John made answer, saying to them all, Truly, I give you baptism with water, but one is coming who is greater than I, whose shoes I am not good enough to undo: he will give you baptism with the Holy Spirit, and with fire:

²⁰ Did this most evil thing of all, and had John shut up in prison. ²¹ Now it came about that when all the people had been given baptism, Jesus, having had baptism with them, was in prayer, when, the heaven being open, ²² The Holy Spirit came down in the form of a dove, and a voice came from heaven, saying, You are my dearly loved Son, with whom I am well pleased.

²² The Holy Spirit came down in the form of a dove, and a voice came from heaven, saying, You are my dearly loved Son, with whom I am well pleased.

¹ And Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, came back from the Jordan, and was guided by the Spirit in the waste land ² For forty days, being tested by the Evil One. And he had no food in those days; and when they came to an end, he was in need of food. ³ And the Evil One said to him, If you are the Son of God, give orders to this stone to become bread. ⁴ And Jesus made answer to him, It has been said in the Writings, Bread is not man's only need. ⁵ And he took him up and let him see all the kingdoms of the earth in a minute of time. ⁶ And the Evil One said, I will give you authority over all these, and the glory of them, for it has been given to me, and I give it to anyone at my pleasure. ⁷ If then you will give worship to me, it will all be yours. ⁸ And Jesus in answer said to him, It has been said in the Writings, Give worship to the Lord your God, and be his servant only. ⁹ And he took him to Jerusalem and put him on the highest point of the Temple and said to him, If you are the Son of God, let yourself go down from here; for it is said in the Writings, ¹⁰ He will give his angels orders to take care of you: ¹¹ And, In their hands they will keep you up, so that your foot may not be crushed against a stone. ¹² And Jesus made answer and said to him, It is said in the Writings, You may not put the Lord your God to the test. ¹³ And when all these tests were ended the Evil One went away from him for a time.

¹⁶ And he came to Nazareth, where he had been as a child, and he went, as his way was, into the Synagogue on the Sabbath, and got up to give a reading. ¹⁷ And the book of the prophet Isaiah was given to him and, opening the book, he came on the place where it is said,

¹⁷ And the book of the prophet Isaiah was given to him and, opening the book, he came on the place where it is said, ¹⁸ The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because I am marked out by him to give good news to the poor; he has sent me to make well those who are broken-hearted; to say that the prisoners will be let go, and the blind will see, and to make the wounded free from their chains,

¹⁸ The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because I am marked out by him to give good news to the poor; he has sent me to make well those who are broken-hearted; to say that the prisoners will be let go, and the blind will see, and to make the wounded free from their chains, ¹⁹ To give knowledge that the year of the Lord's good pleasure is come.

¹⁹ To give knowledge that the year of the Lord's good pleasure is come. ²⁰ And shutting the book he gave it back to the servant and took his seat: and the eyes of all in the Synagogue were fixed on him. ²¹ Then he said to them, Today this word has come true in your hearing.

³¹ And he came down to Capernaum, a town of Galilee; and he was giving them teaching on the Sabbath. ³² And they were surprised at his teaching, for his word was with authority.

³² And they were surprised at his teaching, for his word was with authority. ³³ And there was a man in the Synagogue who had an unclean spirit; and he gave a loud cry and said, ³⁴ Let us be! what have we to do with you, Jesus of Nazareth? have you come to put an end to us? I have knowledge who you are, the Holy One of God.

³⁴ Let us be! what have we to do with you, Jesus of Nazareth? have you come to put an end to us? I have knowledge who you are, the Holy One of God. ³⁵ And Jesus said to him, Be quiet, and come out of him. And when the evil spirit had put him down on the earth in the middle of them, he came out of him, having done him no damage.

³⁵ And Jesus said to him, Be quiet, and come out of him. And when the evil spirit had put him down on the earth in the middle of them, he came out of him, having done him no damage. ³⁶ And wonder came on them all and they said to one another, What are these words? for with authority and power he gives orders to the evil spirits and they come out.

³⁶ And wonder came on them all and they said to one another, What are these words? for with authority and power he gives orders to the evil spirits and they come out. ³⁷ And there was much talk about him in all the places round about.

³⁷ And there was much talk about him in all the places round about. ³⁸ And he got up and went out of the Synagogue and went into the house of Simon. And Simon's wife's mother was very ill with a burning heat; and in answer to their prayers for her ³⁹ He went near her, and with a sharp word he gave orders to the disease and it went away from her; and straight away she got up and took care of their needs. ⁴⁰ And at sundown all those who had anyone ill with any sort of disease, took them to him, and he put his hands on every one of them and made them well. ⁴¹ And evil spirits came out of a number of them, crying out and saying, You are the Son of God. But he gave them sharp orders not to say a word, because they had knowledge that he was the Christ. ⁴² And when it was day, he came out and went to a waste place; and great numbers of people came looking for him, and they came to him and would have kept him from going away. ⁴³ But he said to them, I have to give the good news of the kingdom of God in other towns, because that is why I was sent.

⁴³ But he said to them, I have to give the good news of the kingdom of God in other towns, because that is why I was sent.

⁴³ But he said to them, I have to give the good news of the kingdom of God in other towns, because that is why I was sent. ⁴⁴ And he was teaching in the Synagogues of Galilee.

¹ Now it came about that while the people came pushing to be near him, and to have knowledge of the word of God, he was by a wide stretch of water named Gennesaret; ² And he saw two boats by the edge of the water, but the fishermen had gone out of them and were washing their nets. ³ And he got into one of the boats, the property of Simon, and made a request to him to go a little way out from the land. And being seated he gave the people teaching from the boat. ⁴ And when his talk was ended, he said to Simon, Go out into deep water, and let down your nets for fish. ⁵ And Simon, answering, said, Master, we were working all night and we took nothing: but at your word I will let down the nets. ⁶ And when they had done this, they got such a great number of fish that it seemed as if their nets would be broken; ⁷ And they made signs to their friends in the other boat to come to their help. And they came, and the two boats were so full that they were going down. ⁸ But Simon, when he saw it, went down at the knees of Jesus and said, Go away from me, O Lord, for I am a sinner. ⁹ For he was full of wonder and so were all those who were with him, at the number of fish which they had taken; ¹⁰ And so were James and John, the sons of Zebedee, who were working with Simon. And Jesus said to Simon, Have no fear; from this time forward you will be a fisher of men.

¹⁰ And so were James and John, the sons of Zebedee, who were working with Simon. And Jesus said to Simon, Have no fear; from this time forward you will be a fisher of men. ¹¹ And when they had got their boats to the land, they gave up everything and went after him.

¹¹ And when they had got their boats to the land, they gave up everything and went after him. ¹² And it came about that while he was in one of the towns, there was a leper there: and when he saw Jesus he went down on his face in prayer to him, saying, Lord, if it is your pleasure, you have power to make me clean. ¹³ And he put out his hand to him and said, It is my pleasure; be clean. And straight away his disease went from him. ¹⁴ And he gave him orders: Say nothing to any man, but let the priest see you and give an offering so that you may be made clean, as the law of Moses says, and for a witness to them.

¹⁴ And he gave him orders: Say nothing to any man, but let the priest see you and give an offering so that you may be made clean, as the law of Moses says, and for a witness to them. ¹⁵ But news of him went out all the more, in every direction, and great numbers of people came together to give hearing to his words and to be made well from their diseases. ¹⁶ But he went away by himself to a waste place for prayer.

¹⁶ But he went away by himself to a waste place for prayer. ¹⁷ And it came about that on one of these days he was teaching; and some Pharisees and teachers of the law were seated there, who had come from every town of Galilee and Judaea and from Jerusalem; and the power of the Lord was with him, to make those who were ill free from their diseases.

¹² And it came about in those days that he went out to the mountain for prayer; and he was all night in prayer to God.

¹⁴ Simon, to whom he gave the name of Peter, and Andrew, his brother, and James and John and Philip and Bartholomew

⁶ And Jesus went with them. And when he was not far from the house, the man sent friends to him, saying, Lord, do not give yourself trouble: for I am not important enough for you to come into my house: ⁷ And I had the feeling that I was not even good enough to come to you: but say the word only, and my servant will be well.

¹² Now when he came near the door of the town, a dead man was being taken out, the only son of his mother, who was a widow: and a great number of people from the town were with her. ¹³ And when the Lord saw her, he had pity on her and said to her, Be not sad.

²⁷ This is he of whom it has been said, See, I send my servant before your face, who will make ready your way before you. ²⁸ I say to you, Among all the sons of women, not one is greater than John: but he who is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.

¹ And it came about, after a short time, that he went through town and country giving the good news of the kingdom of God, and with him were the twelve, ² And certain women who had been made free from evil spirits and diseases, Mary named Magdalene, from whom seven evil spirits had gone out, ³ And Joanna, the wife of Chuza, Herod's chief house-servant, and Susanna and a number of others, who gave him of their wealth for his needs.

²⁸ And when he saw Jesus, he gave a loud cry and went down on the earth before him and in a loud voice said, What have I to do with you, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? Do not be cruel to me.

³⁷ And all the people of the country of the Gerasenes made a request to him to go away from them; for they were in great fear: and he got into a boat and went back.

⁵⁶ And her father and mother were full of wonder, but he gave orders to them to say nothing about it to anyone.

¹ And getting the twelve together, he gave them power and authority over all evil spirits and over diseases, to make them well.

³⁵ And there was a voice from the cloud saying, This is my Son, the man of my selection; give ear to him.

³⁹ And see, a spirit takes him, and suddenly he gives a cry, twisted in pain and streaming at the lips, and when it goes away from him at last, he is marked as from blows.

⁴² And while he was coming, he was pushed violently down and twisted by the evil spirit. But Jesus gave sharp orders to the unclean spirit, and made the boy well, and gave him back to his father.

⁵⁸ And Jesus said to him, Foxes have holes and the birds of the air have resting-places, but the Son of man has nowhere to put his head.

⁹ And make well those in it who are ill and say to them, The kingdom of God is near to you.

¹¹ Even the dust of your town, which is on our feet, we put off as a witness against you; but be certain of this, that the kingdom of God is near.

¹⁵ And you, Capernaum, were you not lifted up to heaven? you will go down to hell.

¹⁷ And the seventy came back with joy, saying, Lord, even the evil spirits are under our power in your name. ¹⁸ And he said, I was watching for Satan, falling from heaven like a star. ¹⁹ See, I have given you power to put your feet on snakes and evil beasts, and over all the strength of him who is against you: and nothing will do you damage. ²⁰ Do not be glad, however, because you have power over spirits, but because your names are recorded in heaven.

²² But when one who is stronger makes an attack on him and overcomes him, he takes away his instruments of war, in which he had put his faith, and makes division of his goods.

¹⁰ And he was teaching in one of the Synagogues on the Sabbath.

²⁶ And turning round, he said to them, If any man comes to me, and has not hate for his father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, and even for his life, he may not be my disciple.

³³ And so whoever is not ready to give up all he has may not be my disciple.

¹² And when he went into a certain small town he came across ten men who were lepers, and they, keeping themselves at a distance, ¹³ Said, in loud voices, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us. ¹⁴ And when he saw them he said, Go, and let the priests see you. And, while they were going, they were made clean.

¹⁴ And when he saw them he said, Go, and let the priests see you. And, while they were going, they were made clean. ¹⁵ And one of them, when he saw that he was clean, turning back, gave praise to God in a loud voice; ¹⁶ And, falling down on his face at the feet of Jesus, he gave the credit to him; and he was a man of Samaria. ¹⁷ And Jesus said, Were there not ten men who were made clean? where are the nine? ¹⁸ Have not any of them come back to give glory to God, but only this one from a strange land? ¹⁹ And he said to him, Get up, and go on your way; your faith has made you well.

²⁸ And Peter said, See, we have given up what is ours to come after you. ²⁹ And he said to them, Truly I say to you, There is no man who has given up house or wife or brothers or father or mother or children, because of the kingdom of God, ³⁰ Who will not get much more in this time, and in the world to come, eternal life. ³¹ And he took with him the twelve and said to them, Now we are going up to Jerusalem, and all the things which were said by the prophets will be done to the Son of man.

¹⁵ For I will give you words and wisdom, so that not one of those who are against you will be able to get the better of you, or to put you in the wrong.

³⁹ And he came out, and went, as his way was, to the Mountain of Olives, and the disciples went with him. ⁴⁰ And when he came to the place, he said to them, Make a prayer that you may not be put to the test. ⁴¹ And he went a little distance away from them and, falling on his knees in prayer, he said,

⁴¹ And he went a little distance away from them and, falling on his knees in prayer, he said, ⁴² Father, if it is your pleasure, take this cup from me: but still, let your pleasure, not mine, be done. ⁴³ And an angel from heaven came to him, to give him strength. ⁴⁴ And being in great trouble of soul, the force of his prayer became stronger, and great drops, like blood, came from him, falling to the earth. ⁴⁵ And, getting up from prayer, he came to the disciples, and saw that they were sleeping for sorrow. ⁴⁶ And he said, Why are you sleeping? Get up, and give yourselves to prayer, so that you may not be put to the test.

¹⁹ And he said to them, What things? And they said, The things to do with Jesus of Nazareth, who was a prophet, great in his acts and his words, before God and all the people:

⁴⁷ And that teaching about a change of heart and forgiveness of sins is to be given to Jerusalem first and to all nations in his name.

¹⁴ And so the Word became flesh and took a place among us for a time; and we saw his glory--such glory as is given to an only son by his father--saw it to be true and full of grace. ¹⁵ John gave witness about him, crying, This is he of whom I said, He who is coming after me is put over me because he was in existence before me.

¹⁹ And this is the witness of John when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to him with the question, Who are you? ²⁰ He said quite openly and straightforwardly, I am not the Christ. ²¹ And they said to him, What then? Are you Elijah? And he said, I am not. Are you the prophet? And his answer was, I am not. ²² So they said to him, Who are you then? We have to give some answer to those who sent us. What have you to say about yourself? ²³ He said, I am the voice of one crying in the waste land, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said Isaiah the prophet. ²⁴ Those who had been sent came from the Pharisees. ²⁵ And they put this question to him, saying, Why then are you giving baptism if you are not the Christ, or Elijah, or the prophet? ²⁶ John's answer was: I give baptism with water; but there is one among you of whom you have no knowledge; ²⁷ It is he who is coming after me; I am not good enough to undo his shoes.

²⁷ It is he who is coming after me; I am not good enough to undo his shoes. ²⁸ These things took place at Bethany on the other side of the Jordan, where John was giving baptism.

²⁸ These things took place at Bethany on the other side of the Jordan, where John was giving baptism. ²⁹ The day after, John sees Jesus coming to him and says, See, here is the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world! ³⁰ This is he of whom I said, One is coming after me who is put over me because he was in existence before me. ³¹ I myself had no knowledge of him, but I came giving baptism with water so that he might be seen openly by Israel. ³² And John gave this witness, saying, I saw the Spirit coming down from heaven like a dove and resting on him. ³³ I had no knowledge who he was, but he who sent me to give baptism with water said to me, The one on whom you see the Spirit coming down and resting, it is he who gives baptism with the Holy Spirit. ³⁴ This I saw myself and my witness is that he is the Son of God.

³⁴ This I saw myself and my witness is that he is the Son of God.

⁴⁰ Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, was one of the two men who, hearing what John said, went after Jesus. ⁴¹ Early in the morning he came across his brother and said to him, We have made discovery! It is the Messiah! which is to say, the Christ. ⁴² And he took him to Jesus. Looking at him fixedly Jesus said, You are Simon, the son of John; your name will be Cephas which is to say, Peter.

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

¹⁶ For God had such love for the world that he gave his only Son, so that whoever has faith in him may not come to destruction but have eternal life.

²² After these things Jesus and his disciples went into the land of Judaea, and there he was with them for some time, giving baptism. ²³ Now John was then giving baptism at Aenon near Salim, because there was much water there; and people came and were given baptism.

²³ Now John was then giving baptism at Aenon near Salim, because there was much water there; and people came and were given baptism. ²⁴ For at this time John had not been put into prison.

²⁶ And they went to John and said to him, Rabbi, the man who was with you on the other side of the Jordan, the man to whom you gave witness, is now giving baptism, and everyone is going to him.

²⁸ You yourselves give witness that I said, I am not the Christ. What I said was, I am sent before the Christ.

²⁸ You yourselves give witness that I said, I am not the Christ. What I said was, I am sent before the Christ. ²⁹ He who has the bride is the husband: but the husband's friend, whose place is by his side and whose ears are open to him, is full of joy because of the husband's voice: such is my joy, and it is complete.

²⁹ He who has the bride is the husband: but the husband's friend, whose place is by his side and whose ears are open to him, is full of joy because of the husband's voice: such is my joy, and it is complete. ³⁰ He has to become greater while I become less.

³⁰ He has to become greater while I become less. ³¹ He who comes from heaven is greater than all others: he who comes from earth is of the earth, and of the earth are his words: he who comes from heaven is over all.

³¹ He who comes from heaven is greater than all others: he who comes from earth is of the earth, and of the earth are his words: he who comes from heaven is over all. ³² He gives witness of what he has seen and of what has come to his ears; and no man takes his witness as true. ³³ He who so takes his witness has made clear his faith that God is true. ³⁴ For he whom God has sent says God's words; and God does not give him the Spirit by measure. ³⁵ The Father has love for the Son and has put all things into his hands. ³⁶ He who has faith in the Son has eternal life; but he who has not faith in the Son will not see life; God's wrath is resting on him.

³⁴ Jesus said, My food is to do the pleasure of him who sent me and to make his work complete.

⁵⁰ And Jesus said, Go in peace; your son is living. The man had faith in the word which Jesus said to him and went away. ⁵¹ And while he was going down, his servants came to him and said, Your boy is living. ⁵² So he put a question to them as to the hour when he became better; and they said to him, The disease went from him yesterday at the seventh hour. ⁵³ It was clear then to the father that this was the very time at which Jesus said to him, Your son is living. And he had faith in Jesus, he and all his family.

²⁰ For the Father has love for the Son and lets him see everything which he does: and he will let him see greater works than these so that you may be full of wonder. ²¹ In the same way, as the Father gives life to the dead, even so the Son gives life to those to whom he is pleased to give it. ²² The Father is not the judge of men, but he has given all decisions into the hands of the Son; ²³ So that all men may give honour to the Son even as they give honour to the Father. He who gives no honour to the Son gives no honour to the Father who sent him.

³⁷ And the Father himself who sent me has given witness about me. Not one of you has ever given ear to his voice; his form you have not seen.

² And a great number of people went after him because they saw the signs which he did on those who were ill.

⁸ One of his disciples, Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, said to Jesus,

¹⁵ Now when Jesus saw that the people were about to come and take him by force to make him a king, he went away again up the mountain by himself.

⁶⁹ And we have faith and are certain that you are the Holy One of God.

⁴⁶ The servants made answer, No man ever said things like this man.

⁴ While it is day we have to do the works of him who sent me: the night comes when no work may be done.

³ So the sisters sent to him, saying, Lord, your dear friend is ill.

⁴⁸ If we let him go on in this way, everybody will have belief in him and the Romans will come and take away our place and our nation.

¹⁹ Then the Pharisees said one to another, You see, you are unable to do anything: the world has gone after him.

²² Philip went and gave word of it to Andrew; and Andrew went with Philip to Jesus.

²⁸ Father, give glory to your name. Then there came a voice out of heaven, saying, I have given it glory, and I will give it glory again. ²⁹ Hearing the sound, a number of people who were there said that it was thunder: others said, An angel was talking to him. ³⁰ Jesus said in answer, This voice came not for me but for you.

³ You are clean, even now, through the teaching which I have given you.

²⁸ I came out from the Father and have come into the world: again, I go away from the world and go to the Father.

⁴ I have given you glory on the earth, having done all the work which you gave me to do.

⁸ Because I have given them the words which you gave to me; and they have taken them to heart, and have certain knowledge that I came from you, and they have faith that you sent me.

³¹ But these are recorded, so that you may have faith that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and so that, having this faith you may have life in his name.

¹ I have given an earlier account, O Theophilus, of all the things which Jesus did, and of his teaching from the first, ² Till the day when he was taken up to heaven after he had given his orders, through the Holy Spirit, to the Apostles of whom he had made selection:

⁵ For the baptism of John was with water, but you will have baptism with the Holy Spirit, after a little time.

¹³ And when they came in, they went up into the room where they were living; Peter and John and James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James, the son of Alphaeus, and Simon the Zealot, and Judas, the son of James.

⁴ And they were all full of the Holy Spirit, and were talking in different languages, as the Spirit gave them power.

¹⁷ And it will come about, in the last days, says God, that I will send out my Spirit on all flesh; and your sons and your daughters will be prophets, and your young men will see visions, and your old men will have dreams:

²⁷ For you will not let my soul be in hell and you will not give up your Holy One to destruction.

³⁶ For this reason, let all Israel be certain that this Jesus, whom you put to death on the cross, God has made Lord and Christ. 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? ³⁸ And Peter said, Let your hearts be changed, every one of you, and have baptism in the name of Jesus Christ, for the forgiveness of your sins; and you will have the Holy Spirit given to you.

³⁸ And Peter said, Let your hearts be changed, every one of you, and have baptism in the name of Jesus Christ, for the forgiveness of your sins; and you will have the Holy Spirit given to you.

³⁸ And Peter said, Let your hearts be changed, every one of you, and have baptism in the name of Jesus Christ, for the forgiveness of your sins; and you will have the Holy Spirit given to you. ³⁹ For the word of God is for you and for your children and for all those who are far off, even all those who may be marked out by the Lord our God. ⁴⁰ And with more such words he gave his witness, offering them salvation and saying, Come out from this evil generation. ⁴¹ Then those who gave hearing to his words had baptism: and about three thousand souls were joined to them that day.

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,

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,

¹⁰ But they were not able to get the better of him, for his words were full of wisdom and of the 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.

²¹ And all those hearing him were full of wonder and said, Is not this the man who in Jerusalem was attacking all the worshippers of this name? and he had come here so that he might take them as prisoners before the chief priests. ²² But Saul went on increasing in power, and the Jews in Damascus were not able to give answers to the arguments by which he made it clear that Jesus was the Christ.

⁴¹ And he took her hand, lifting her up; and, sending for the saints and widows, he gave her to them, living.

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,

⁴⁵ And the Jews of the faith, who had come with Peter, were full of wonder, because the Holy Spirit was given to the Gentiles,

¹⁵ And, while I was talking to them, the Holy Spirit came on them, as on us at first. ¹⁶ And the words of the Lord came into my mind, how he said, The baptism of John was with water, but you will have baptism with the Holy Spirit.

² And he put James, the brother of John, to death with the sword.

¹⁴ But they, going through from Perga, came to Antioch in Pisidia; and they went into the Synagogue on the Sabbath and were seated. ¹⁵ And after the reading of the law and the prophets, the rulers of the Synagogue sent to them, saying, Brothers, if you have a word of comfort for the people, say on. ¹⁶ And Paul, getting up and making a sign with his hand, said, Men of Israel, and you who have the fear of God, give ear. ¹⁷ The God of this people Israel made selection of our fathers, lifting the people up from their low condition when they were living in the land of Egypt, and with a strong arm took them out of it. ¹⁸ And for about forty years he put up with their ways in the waste land. ¹⁹ And having put to destruction seven nations in the land of Canaan, he gave them the land for their heritage for about four hundred and fifty years. ²⁰ And after these things he gave them judges, till the time of Samuel the prophet. ²¹ Then at their request for a king, God gave them Saul, the son of Kish, a man of the family of Benjamin, who was their king for forty years. ²² And having put him on one side, he made David their king, to whom he gave witness, saying, I have taken David, the son of Jesse, a man dear to my heart, who will do all my pleasure. ²³ From this man's seed has God given to Israel a Saviour, even Jesus, as he gave his word; ²⁴ For whose coming John made ready the way by preaching to all the people of Israel the baptism which goes with a change of heart.

²⁴ For whose coming John made ready the way by preaching to all the people of Israel the baptism which goes with a change of heart. ²⁵ And when John was completing his work, he said, What do I seem to you to be? I am not he; but one is coming after me, whose shoes I am not good enough to undo.

²⁵ And when John was completing his work, he said, What do I seem to you to be? I am not he; but one is coming after me, whose shoes I am not good enough to undo.

²⁵ And when John was completing his work, he said, What do I seem to you to be? I am not he; but one is coming after me, whose shoes I am not good enough to undo. ²⁶ My brothers, children of the family of Abraham, and those among you who have the fear of God, to us the word of this salvation is sent. ²⁷ For the men of Jerusalem and their rulers, having no knowledge of him, or of the sayings of the prophets which come to their ears every Sabbath day, gave effect to them by judging him. 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. ³⁰ But God gave him back from the dead: ³¹ And for a number of days he was seen by those who came with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are now his witnesses before the people. ³² And we are giving you the good news of the undertaking made to the fathers, ³³ Which God has now put into effect for our children, by sending Jesus; as it says in the second Psalm, You are my Son; this day I have given you being. ³⁴ And about his coming back from the dead, never again to go to destruction, he has said these words, I will give you the holy and certain mercies of David. ³⁵ Because he says in another Psalm, You will not let your Holy One see destruction. ³⁶ Now David, having done God's work for his generation, went to sleep, and was put with his fathers, and his body came to destruction: ³⁷ But he, who was lifted up by God, did not see destruction. ³⁸ And so, let it be clear to you, my brothers, that through this man forgiveness of sins is offered to you: ³⁹ And through him everyone who has faith is made free from all those things, from which the law of Moses was not able to make you free. ⁴⁰ So take care that these words of the prophets do not come true for you; ⁴¹ See, you doubters, have wonder and come to your end; for I will do a thing in your days to which you will not give belief, even if it is made clear to you. ⁴² And when they went out, they made a request that these words might be said to them again on the Sabbath after. ⁴³ Now when the meeting was ended, a number of the Jews and of the God-fearing Gentiles who had become Jews, went after Paul and Barnabas: who put before them how important it was to keep on in the grace of God. ⁴⁴ And on the Sabbath after, almost all the town came together to give hearing to the word of God.

⁴⁴ And on the Sabbath after, almost all the town came together to give hearing to the word of God. ⁴⁵ But when the Jews saw such a great number of people, they were full of envy and said evil words against Paul's preaching. ⁴⁶ Then Paul and Barnabas without fear said, It was necessary for the word of God to be given to you first; but because you will have nothing to do with it, and have no desire for eternal life, it will now be offered to the Gentiles. ⁴⁷ For so the Lord has given us orders, saying, I have given you for a light to the Gentiles so that you may be for salvation to the ends of the earth. ⁴⁸ And the Gentiles, hearing this, were glad and gave glory to the word of God: and those marked out by God for eternal life had faith. ⁴⁹ And the word of the Lord went through all the country. ⁵⁰ But the Jews, working up the feelings of the God-fearing women of high position and of the chief men of the town, got an attack started against Paul and Barnabas, driving them out of those parts. ⁵¹ But they, shaking off the dust of that place from their feet, came to Iconium. ⁵² And the disciples were full of joy and of the Holy Spirit.

¹⁶ And when we were going to the place of prayer, we came across a girl with a spirit which gave knowledge of the future, whose masters made great profit from her power. ¹⁷ She came after Paul and us, crying out and saying, These men are the servants of the Most High God, who are giving you news of the way of salvation.

¹⁷ She came after Paul and us, crying out and saying, These men are the servants of the Most High God, who are giving you news of the way of salvation. ¹⁸ And this she did on a number of days. But Paul was greatly troubled and, turning, said to the spirit, I give you orders in the name of Jesus Christ, to come out of her. And it came out that very hour.

² And Paul, as he generally did, went in to them, and on three Sabbath days had discussions with them from the holy Writings,

⁴ And every Sabbath he had discussions in the Synagogue, turning Jews and Greeks to the faith.

³ And he said, What sort of baptism did you have? And they said, The baptism of John. ⁴ And Paul said, John gave a baptism which goes with a change of heart, saying to the people that they were to have faith in him who was coming after him, that is, in Jesus.

⁴ And Paul said, John gave a baptism which goes with a change of heart, saying to the people that they were to have faith in him who was coming after him, that is, in Jesus. ⁵ And hearing this, they had baptism in the name of the Lord Jesus. ⁶ And when Paul had put his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came on them; and they had the power of talking in tongues, and acting like prophets.

¹⁸ And a number of those who had faith came and made a public statement of their sins and all their acts.

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

²⁵ And now I am conscious that you, among whom I have gone about preaching the kingdom, will not see my face again.

¹⁶ And now, why are you waiting? get up, and have baptism, for the washing away of your sins, giving worship to his name.

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:

²³ And when a day had been fixed, they came to his house in great numbers; and he gave them teaching, giving witness to the kingdom of God, and having discussions with them about Jesus, from the law of Moses and from the prophets, from morning till evening.

¹ Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, an Apostle by the selection of God, given authority as a preacher of the good news, ² Of which God had given word before by his prophets in the holy Writings, ³ About his Son who, in the flesh, came from the family of David, ⁴ But was marked out as Son of God in power by the Holy Spirit through the coming to life again of the dead; Jesus Christ our Lord,

⁴ But was marked out as Son of God in power by the Holy Spirit through the coming to life again of the dead; Jesus Christ our Lord,

³ For what the law was not able to do because it was feeble through the flesh, God, sending his Son in the image of the evil flesh, and as an offering for sin, gave his decision against sin in the flesh:

³² He who did not keep back his only Son, but gave him up for us all, will he not with him freely give us all things?

⁴ Now those things which were put down in writing before our time were for our learning, so that through quiet waiting and through the comfort of the holy Writings we might have hope.

²⁶ But is now made clear; and by the writings of the prophets, by the order of the eternal God, the knowledge of it has been given to all the nations, so that they may come under the rule of the faith;

⁵ Have we no right to take about with us a Christian wife, like the rest of the Apostles, and the brothers of the Lord, and Cephas?

¹¹ Now these things were done as an example; and were put down in writing for our teaching, on whom the last days have come.

¹³ For through the baptism of the one Spirit we were all formed into one body, Jews or Greeks, servants or free men, and were all made full of the same Spirit.

² And we have given up the secret things of shame, not walking in false ways, and not making use of the word of God with deceit; but by the revelation of what is true, as before God, we have the approval of every man's sense of right and wrong.

¹⁶ For this reason, from this time forward we have knowledge of no man after the flesh: even if we have had knowledge of Christ after the flesh, we have no longer any such knowledge.

⁴ But when the time had come, God sent out his Son, made of a woman, made under the law,

¹⁰ The ordering of the times when they are complete, so that all things might come to a head in Christ, the things in heaven and the things on the earth; in him, I say,

¹⁷ And he came preaching peace to you who were far off, and to those who were near;

¹⁴ For this cause I go down on my knees before the Father,

¹⁸ With prayers and deep desires, making requests at all times in the Spirit, and keeping watch, with strong purpose, in prayer for all the saints,

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

⁸ Yes truly, and I am ready to give up all things for the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, which is more than all: for whom I have undergone the loss of all things, and to me they are less than nothing, so that I may have Christ as my reward,

¹³ Who has made us free from the power of evil and given us a place in the kingdom of the Son of his love;

¹⁶ And without argument, great is the secret of religion: He who was seen in the flesh, who was given God's approval in the spirit, was seen by the angels, of whom the good news was given among the nations, in whom the world had faith, who was taken up in glory.

²⁵ Gently guiding those who go against the teaching; if by chance God may give them a change of heart and true knowledge, ²⁶ And so they may get themselves free from the net of the Evil One, being made the prisoners of the Lord's servant, for the purpose of God.

¹⁰ For there are men who are not ruled by law; foolish talkers, false teachers, specially those of the circumcision,

⁵ Not by works of righteousness which we did ourselves, but in the measure of his mercy, he gave us salvation, through the washing of the new birth and the giving of new life in the Holy Spirit, ⁶ Which he gave us freely through Jesus Christ our Saviour;

¹ In times past the word of God came to our fathers through the prophets, in different parts and in different ways; ² But now, at the end of these days, it has come to us through his Son, to whom he has given all things for a heritage, and through whom he made the order of the generations; ³ Who, being the outshining of his glory, the true image of his substance, supporting all things by the word of his power, having given himself as an offering making clean from sins, took his seat at the right hand of God in heaven;

¹⁷ Because of this it was necessary for him to be made like his brothers in every way, so that he might be a high priest full of mercy and keeping faith in everything to do with God, making offerings for the sins of the people.

¹⁷ Because of this it was necessary for him to be made like his brothers in every way, so that he might be a high priest full of mercy and keeping faith in everything to do with God, making offerings for the sins of the people. ¹⁸ For having been put to the test himself, he is able to give help to others when they are tested.

¹² For the word of God is living and full of power, and is sharper than any two-edged sword, cutting through and making a division even of the soul and the spirit, the bones and the muscles, and quick to see the thoughts and purposes of the heart. ¹³ And there is nothing made which is not completely clear to him; there is nothing covered, but all things are open to the eyes of him with whom we have to do.

¹⁵ For we have not a high priest who is not able to be touched by the feelings of our feeble flesh; but we have one who has been tested in all points as we ourselves are tested, but without sin.

⁷ Who in the days of his flesh, having sent up prayers and requests with strong crying and weeping to him who was able to give him salvation from death, had his prayer answered because of his fear of God.

¹⁹ You have the belief that God is one, and you do well: the evil spirits have the same belief, shaking with fear.

¹⁴ Is anyone among you ill? let him send for the rulers of the church; and let them say prayers over him, putting oil on him in the name of the Lord. ¹⁵ And by the prayer of faith the man who is ill will be made well, and he will be lifted up by the Lord, and for any sin which he has done he will have forgiveness.

¹⁷ For God the Father gave him honour and glory, when such a voice came to him out of the great glory, saying, This is my dearly loved Son, with whom I am well pleased. ¹⁸ And this voice came from heaven even to our ears, when we were with him on the holy mountain.

¹ That which was from the first, which has come to our ears, and which we have seen with our eyes, looking on it and touching it with our hands, about the Word of life ² And the life was made clear to us, and we have seen it and are witnessing to it and giving you word of that eternal life which was with the Father and was seen by us; ³ We give you word of all we have seen and everything which has come to our ears, so that you may be united with us; and we are united with the Father and with his Son Jesus Christ:

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. ¹⁰ If we say that we have no sin, we make him false and his word is not in us.

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.

⁷ And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia say: These things says he who is holy, he who is true, he who has the key of David, opening the door so that it may be shut by no one, and shutting it so that it may be open to no one.
