⁵ Make no attack on them, for I will not give you any of their land, not even space enough for a man's foot: because I have given Mount Seir to Esau for his heritage. ⁶ You may get food for your needs from them for a price, and water for drinking.

⁶ You may get food for your needs from them for a price, and water for drinking.

⁶ You may get food for your needs from them for a price, and water for drinking. ⁷ For the blessing of the Lord your God has been on you in all the work of your hands: he has knowledge of your wanderings through this great waste: these forty years the Lord your God has been with you, and you have been short of nothing.

⁷ For the blessing of the Lord your God has been on you in all the work of your hands: he has knowledge of your wanderings through this great waste: these forty years the Lord your God has been with you, and you have been short of nothing. ⁸ So we went on past our brothers, the children of Esau, living in Seir, by the road through the Arabah, from Elath and Ezion-geber. And turning, we went by the road through the waste land of Moab.

⁸ So we went on past our brothers, the children of Esau, living in Seir, by the road through the Arabah, from Elath and Ezion-geber. And turning, we went by the road through the waste land of Moab. ⁹ And the Lord said to me, Make no attack on Moab and do not go to war with them, for I will not give you any of his land: because I have given Ar to the children of Lot for their heritage. ¹⁰ {\I In the past the Emim were living there; a great people, equal in numbers to the Anakim and as tall; ¹¹ They are numbered among the Rephaim, like the Anakim; but are named Emim by the Moabites. ¹² And the Horites in earlier times were living in Seir, but the children of Esau took their place; they sent destruction on them and took their land for themselves, as Israel did to the land of his heritage which the Lord gave them.} ¹³ Get up now, and go over the stream Zered. So we went over the stream Zered. ¹⁴ Thirty-eight years had gone by from the time when we came away from Kadesh-barnea till we went over the stream Zered; by that time all the generation of the men of war among us were dead, as the Lord had said.

¹⁴ Thirty-eight years had gone by from the time when we came away from Kadesh-barnea till we went over the stream Zered; by that time all the generation of the men of war among us were dead, as the Lord had said. ¹⁵ For the hand of the Lord was against them, working their destruction, till all were dead. ¹⁶ So when death had overtaken all the men of war among the people, ¹⁷ The word of the Lord came to me, saying, ¹⁸ You are about to go by Ar, the limit of the country of Moab; ¹⁹ And when you come near the land of the children of Ammon, give them no cause of trouble and do not make war on them, for I will not give you any of the land of the children of Ammon for your heritage: because I have given it to the children of Lot. ²⁰ {\I That land is said to have been a land of the Rephaim, for Rephaim had been living there in earlier times, but they were named Zamzummim by the Ammonites; ²¹ They were a great people, tall as the Anakim, and equal to them in number; but the Lord sent destruction on them and the children of Ammon took their place, living in their land; ²² As he did for the children of Esau living in Seir, when he sent destruction on the Horites before them, and they took their land where they are living to this day: ²³ And the Avvim, living in the small towns as far as Gaza, came to destruction by the hands of the Caphtorim who came out from Caphtor and took their land.} ²⁴ Get up now, and go on your journey, crossing over the valley of the Arnon: see, I have given into your hands Sihon, the Amorite, king of Heshbon, and all his land: go forward to make it yours, and make war on him, ²⁵ From now on I will put the fear of you in all peoples under heaven, who, hearing of you, will be shaking with fear and grief of heart because of you.

²⁷ Let me go through your land: I will keep to the highway, not turning to the right or to the left; ²⁸ Let me have food, at a price, for my needs, and water for drinking: only let me go through on foot; ²⁹ As the children of Esau did for me in Seir and the Moabites in Ar; till I have gone over Jordan into the land which the Lord our God is giving us.

²³ And at that time I made request to the Lord, saying, ²⁴ O Lord God, you have now for the first time let your servant see your great power and the strength of your hand; for what god is there in heaven or on earth able to do such great works and such acts of power? ²⁵ Let me go over, O Lord, and see the good land on the other side of Jordan, and that fair mountain country, even Lebanon. ²⁶ But the Lord was angry with me because of you and would not give ear to my prayer; and the Lord said to me, Let it be enough, say no more about this thing. ²⁷ Go up to the top of Pisgah, and turning your eyes to the west and the north, to the south and the east, see the land with your eyes: for you are not to go over Jordan.

¹⁵ Who was your guide through that great and cruel waste, where there were poison-snakes and scorpions and a dry land without water; who made water come out of the hard rock for you;

²⁴ From the day when I first had knowledge of you, you have gone against the word of the Lord.

⁶ {\I And the children of Israel went on from Beeroth Bene-jaakan to Moserah: there death came to Aaron and he was put to rest in the earth; and Eleazar, his son, took his place as priest.

⁷ But have no hate for an Edomite, because he is your brother, or for an Egyptian, for you were living in his land.

⁶ And the Egyptians were cruel to us, crushing us under a hard yoke:

⁷ Then Moses sent for Joshua, and before the eyes of all Israel said to him, Be strong and take heart: for you are to go with this people into the land which the Lord, by his oath to their fathers, has given them; by your help they will take it for their heritage. ⁸ It is the Lord who goes before you; he will be with you, he will not take away his help from you or give you up: so have no fear.

⁴⁹ Go up into this mountain of Abarim, to Mount Nebo in the land of Moab opposite Jericho; there you may see the land of Canaan, which I am giving to the children of Israel for their heritage:

⁴⁹ Go up into this mountain of Abarim, to Mount Nebo in the land of Moab opposite Jericho; there you may see the land of Canaan, which I am giving to the children of Israel for their heritage: ⁵⁰ And let death come to you on the mountain where you are going, and be put to rest with your people; as death came to Aaron, your brother, on Mount Hor, where he was put to rest with his people:

⁵⁰ And let death come to you on the mountain where you are going, and be put to rest with your people; as death came to Aaron, your brother, on Mount Hor, where he was put to rest with his people:

⁵⁰ And let death come to you on the mountain where you are going, and be put to rest with your people; as death came to Aaron, your brother, on Mount Hor, where he was put to rest with his people: ⁵¹ Because of your sin against me before the children of Israel at the waters of Meribath Kadesh in the waste land of Zin; because you did not keep my name holy among the children of Israel.

⁵¹ Because of your sin against me before the children of Israel at the waters of Meribath Kadesh in the waste land of Zin; because you did not keep my name holy among the children of Israel.

⁸ And of Levi he said, Give your Thummim to Levi and let the Urim be with your loved one, whom you put to the test at Massah, with whom you were angry at the waters of Meribah;

⁴ And the Lord said to him, This is the land about which I made an oath to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, saying, I will give it to your seed: now I have let you see it with your eyes, but you will not go in there. ⁵ So death came to Moses, the servant of the Lord, there in the land of Moab, as the Lord had said.

⁸ For thirty days the children of Israel were weeping for Moses in the table-lands of Moab, till the days of weeping and sorrow for Moses were ended. ⁹ And Joshua, the son of Nun, was full of the spirit of wisdom; for Moses had put his hands on him: and the children of Israel gave ear to him, and did as the Lord had given orders to Moses.

² Moses my servant is dead; so now get up! Go over Jordan, you and all this people, into the land which I am giving to them, to the children of Israel.

⁵ And at the sound of a long note on the horns, let all the people give a loud cry; and the wall of the town will come down flat, and all the people are to go straight forward.

²⁰ So the people gave a loud cry, and the horns were sounded; and on hearing the horns the people gave a loud cry, and the wall came down flat, so that the people went up into the town, every man going straight before him, and they took the town.

⁶ Then Joshua, in great grief, went down on the earth before the ark of the Lord till the evening, and all the chiefs of Israel with him, and they put dust on their heads.

⁹ And they said to him, Your servants have come from a very far country, because of the name of the Lord your God: for the story of his great name, and of all he did in Egypt has come to our ears,

¹⁰ And in time death overtook all that generation; and another generation came after them, having no knowledge of the Lord or of the things which he had done for Israel.

¹⁶ But when they came up from Egypt, Israel went through the waste land to the Red Sea and came to Kadesh; ¹⁷ Then Israel sent men to the king of Edom saying, Let me now go through your land; but the king of Edom did not give ear to them. And in the same way he sent to the king of Moab, but he would not; so Israel went on living in Kadesh.

¹⁷ Then Israel sent men to the king of Edom saying, Let me now go through your land; but the king of Edom did not give ear to them. And in the same way he sent to the king of Moab, but he would not; so Israel went on living in Kadesh. ¹⁸ Then he went on through the waste land and round the land of Edom and the land of Moab, and came by the east side of the land of Moab, and put up their tents on the other side of the Arnon; they did not come inside the limit of Moab, for the Arnon was the limit of Moab.

²⁰ But Sihon would not give way and let Israel go through his land; and Sihon got together all his people, and put his army in position in Jahaz, and made war on Israel.

²⁴ Do you not keep the lands of those whom Chemosh your god sends out from before you? So we will keep all the lands of those whom the Lord our God sends out from before us.

¹³ And Samuel came to Saul; and Saul said to him, May the blessing of the Lord be with you: I have done what was ordered by the Lord. ¹⁴ And Samuel said, What then is this sound of the crying of sheep and the noise of oxen which comes to my ears?

¹⁹ Why then did you not do the orders of the Lord, but by violently taking their goods did evil in the eyes of the Lord?

²⁴ And Saul said to Samuel, Great is my sin: for I have gone against the orders of the Lord and against your words: because, fearing the people, I did what they said.

²¹ And crying out to the man of God who came from Judah, he said, The Lord says, Because you have gone against the voice of the Lord, and have not done as you were ordered by the Lord, ²² But have come back, and have taken food and water in this place where he said you were to take no food or water; your dead body will not be put to rest with your fathers. ²³ Now after the meal he made ready the ass for him, for the prophet whom he had taken back. ²⁴ And he went on his way; but on the road a lion came rushing at him and put him to death; and his dead body was stretched in the road with the ass by its side, and the lion was there by the body.

⁹ And when they came to the grain-floor of Chidon, Uzza put out his hand to keep the ark in its place, for the oxen were slipping. ¹⁰ And the wrath of the Lord, burning against Uzza, sent destruction on him because he had put his hand on the ark, and death came to him there before God.

² Then David said, The ark of God may not be moved by any but the Levites, for they have been marked out by God to take the ark of God, and to do his work for ever.

¹³ For because you did not take it at the first, the Lord our God sent punishment on us, because we did not get directions from him in the right way.

¹⁶ And David, lifting up his eyes, saw the angel of the Lord there between earth and heaven, with an uncovered sword in his hand stretched out over Jerusalem. Then David and the responsible men, clothed in haircloth, went down on their faces.

¹¹ Now, my son, may the Lord be with you; and may you do well, and put up the house of the Lord your God, as he has said of you. ¹² Only may the Lord give you wisdom, and knowledge of his orders for Israel, so that you may keep the law of the Lord your God.

¹⁷ Then David gave orders to all the chiefs of Israel to give their help to Solomon his son, saying,

⁵ And of all my sons for the Lord has given me a great number of sons he has made selection of Solomon to take his place on the seat of the kingdom of the Lord over Israel. ⁶ And he said to me, Solomon your son will be the builder of my house and the open spaces round it; for I have taken him to be my son, and I will be his father. ⁷ I will keep his kingdom in its place for ever, if he is strong at all times to do my orders and keep my rules, as at this day. ⁸ So now, before the eyes of all Israel, the people of the Lord, and in the hearing of our God, keep and be true to the orders of the Lord your God; so that you may have this good land for yourselves and give it for a heritage to your children after you for ever. ⁹ And you, Solomon my son, get knowledge of the God of your father, and be his servant with a true heart and with a strong desire, for the Lord is the searcher of all hearts, and has knowledge of all the designs of men's thoughts; if you make search for him, he will be near you; but if you are turned away from him, he will give you up for ever.

²⁰ And early in the morning they got up and went out to the waste land of Tekoa: and when they were going out, Jehoshaphat took his station and said to them, Give ear to me, O Judah and you people of Jerusalem: have faith in the Lord your God and you will be safe; have faith in his prophets and all will go well for you.

²⁸ See, I will let you go to your fathers, and be put in your last resting-place in peace, and your eyes will not see all the evil which I will send on this place and on its people. So they took this news back to the king.

²⁴ So his servants took him out of the line of war-carriages, and put him in his second carriage and took him to Jerusalem, where he came to his end, and they put his body in the resting-place of his fathers. And in all Judah and Jerusalem there was great weeping for Josiah. ²⁵ And Jeremiah made a song of grief for Josiah; and to this day Josiah is named by all the makers of melody, men and women, in their songs of grief; they made it a rule in Israel; and the songs are recorded among the songs of grief.

¹⁵ And you gave them bread from heaven when they were in need, and made water come out of the rock for their drink, and gave them orders to go in and take for their heritage the land which your hand had been lifted up to give them.

²¹ Truly, for forty years you were their support in the waste land, and they were in need of nothing; their clothing did not get old or their feet become tired.

¹⁰ Because it did not keep the doors of my mother's body shut, so that trouble might be veiled from my eyes. ¹¹ Why did death not take me when I came out of my mother's body, why did I not, when I came out, give up my last breath?

⁸ At the voice of the Lord there is a shaking in the waste land, even a shaking in the waste land of Kadesh.

⁹ For he gave the word, and it was done; by his order it was fixed for ever.

¹⁵ The rocks of the waste land were broken by his power, and he gave them drink as out of the deep waters. ¹⁶ He made streams come out of the rock; and waters came flowing down like rivers.

¹⁶ He made streams come out of the rock; and waters came flowing down like rivers.

⁸ Let not your hearts be hard, as at Meribah, as in the day of Massah in the waste land;

⁴¹ His hand made the rock open, and the waters came streaming out; they went down through the dry places like a river.

²¹ They had no memory of God their saviour, who had done great things in Egypt;

³² They made God angry again at the waters of Meribah, so that Moses was troubled because of them;

³² They made God angry again at the waters of Meribah, so that Moses was troubled because of them; ³³ For they made his spirit bitter, and he said unwise things.

³³ For they made his spirit bitter, and he said unwise things. ³⁴ They did not put an end to the peoples, as the Lord had said; ³⁵ But they were joined to the nations, learning their works. ³⁶ And they gave worship to images; which were a danger to them: ³⁷ They even made offerings of their sons and their daughters to evil spirits, ³⁸ And gave the blood of their sons and their daughters who had done no wrong, offering them to the images of Canaan; and the land was made unclean with blood. ³⁹ So they became unclean through their works, going after their evil desires. ⁴⁰ Then the wrath of the Lord was burning against his people, and he was angry with his heritage. ⁴¹ And he gave them into the hands of the nations; and they were ruled by their haters. ⁴² By them they were crushed, and made low under their hands. ⁴³ Again and again he made them free; but their hearts were turned against his purpose, and they were overcome by their sins. ⁴⁴ But when their cry came to his ears, he had pity on their trouble: ⁴⁵ And kept in mind his agreement with them, and in his great mercy gave them forgiveness. ⁴⁶ He put pity into the hearts of those who made them prisoners. ⁴⁷ Be our saviour, O Lord our God, and let us come back together from among the nations, so that we may give honour to your holy name, and have glory in your praise. ⁴⁸ Praise be to the Lord God of Israel for ever and for ever; and let all the people say, So be it. Give praise to the Lord.

³ Words of hate are round about me; they have made war against me without cause. ⁴ For my love they give me back hate; but I have given myself to prayer.

⁸ Who made the rock into a water-spring, and the hard stone into a fountain.

⁷ I am for peace: but when I say so, they are for war.

¹⁶ But the Lord of armies is lifted up as judge, and the Holy God is seen to be holy in righteousness.

⁹ And the head of Ephraim is Samaria, and the head of Samaria is Remaliah's son. If you will not have faith, your kingdom will be broken.

¹³ But let the Lord of armies be holy to you, and go in fear of him, giving honour to him.

²¹ And I will put your robe on him, and put your band about him, and I will give your authority into his hand: and he will be a father to the men of Jerusalem, and to the family of Judah. ²² And I will give the key of the family of David into his care; and what he keeps open will be shut by no one, and what he keeps shut no one will make open.

¹⁷ The poor and crushed are looking for water where no water is, and their tongue is dry for need of it: I the Lord will give ear to their prayer, I the God of Israel will not give them up. ¹⁸ I will make rivers on the dry mountain-tops, and fountains in the valleys: I will make the waste land a pool of water, and the dry land springs of water.

²⁰ The beasts of the field will give me honour, the jackals and the ostriches: because I send out waters in the waste land, and rivers in the dry country, to give drink to the people whom I have taken for myself:

²¹ They had no need of water when he was guiding them through the waste lands: he made water come out of the rock for them: the rock was parted and the waters came flowing out.

² Go and say in the ears of Jerusalem, The Lord says, I still keep the memory of your kind heart when you were young, and your love when you became my bride; how you went after me in the waste of sand, in an unplanted land.

⁶ And they never said, Where is the Lord, who took us up out of the land of Egypt; who was our guide through the waste of sand, through an unplanted land full of deep holes, through a dry land of deep shade, which no one went through and where no man was living?

⁹ Those who have been put to the sword are better off than those whose death is caused by need of food; for these come to death slowly, burned up like the fruit of the field.

³⁶ As I took up the cause with your fathers in the waste land of the land of Egypt, so will I take up the cause with you says the Lord.

⁴¹ I will take pleasure in you as in a sweet smell, when I take you out from the peoples and get you together from the countries where you have been sent in flight; and I will make myself holy in you before the eyes of the nations.

⁵ Because yours has been a hate without end, and you have given up the children of Israel to the power of the sword in the time of their trouble, in the time of the punishment of the end: ⁶ For this cause, by my life, says the Lord, because you have been sinning through blood, blood will come after you. ⁷ And I will make Mount Seir a cause for wonder and a waste, cutting off from it all comings and goings. ⁸ I will make his mountains full of those who have been put to death; in your valleys and in all your water-streams men will be falling by the sword. ⁹ I will make you waste for ever, and your towns will be unpeopled: and you will be certain that I am the Lord. ¹⁰ Because you have said, The two nations and the two countries are to be mine, and we will take them for our heritage; though the Lord was there: ¹¹ For this cause, by my life, says the Lord, I will do to you as you have done in your wrath and in your envy, which you have made clear in your hate for them; and I will make clear to you who I am when you are judged by me.

²³ And I will make holy my great name which has been made unclean among the nations, which you have made unclean among them; and it will be clear to the nations that I am the Lord, says the Lord, when I make myself holy in you before their eyes.

¹⁰ This is what the Lord has said: In that day it will come about that things will come into your mind, and you will have thoughts of an evil design:

¹⁶ And you will come up against my people Israel, like a cloud covering the land; and it will come about, in the last days, that I will make you come against my land, so that the nations may have knowledge of me when I make myself holy in you, O Gog, before their eyes.

¹⁹ And the south side to the south will be from Tamar as far as the waters of Meribath-kadesh, to the stream of Egypt, to the Great Sea. This is the south side, on the south.

²⁸ And on the limit of Gad, on the south side and to the south of it, the limit will be from Tamar to the waters of Meribath-kadesh, to the stream, to the Great Sea.

²⁸ But there is a God in heaven, the unveiler of secrets, and he has given to King Nebuchadnezzar knowledge of what will take place in the last days. Your dreams and the visions of your head on your bed are these: ²⁹ As for you, O King, the thoughts which came to you on your bed were of what will come about after this: and the unveiler of secrets has made clear to you what is to come. ³⁰ As for me, this secret is not made clear to me because of any wisdom which I have more than any living man, but in order that the sense of the dream may be made clear to the king, and that you may have knowledge of the thoughts of your heart.

⁵ I had knowledge of you in the waste land where no water was.

¹¹ These are the words of the Lord: For three crimes of Edom, and for four, I will not let its fate be changed; because his sword was turned against his brother, without pity, and his wrath was burning at all times, and he was angry for ever.

¹⁰ Because you were the cause of violent death and because of your cruel behaviour to your brother Jacob, you will be covered with shame and will be cut off for ever.

¹⁰ Because you were the cause of violent death and because of your cruel behaviour to your brother Jacob, you will be covered with shame and will be cut off for ever. ¹¹ Because you were there watching when men from other lands took away his goods, and strange men came into his doors, and put the fate of Jerusalem to the decision of chance; you were like one of them.

¹¹ Because you were there watching when men from other lands took away his goods, and strange men came into his doors, and put the fate of Jerusalem to the decision of chance; you were like one of them. ¹² Do not see with pleasure your brother's evil day, the day of his fate, and do not be glad over the children of Judah on the day of their destruction, or make wide your mouth on the day of trouble.

¹² Do not see with pleasure your brother's evil day, the day of his fate, and do not be glad over the children of Judah on the day of their destruction, or make wide your mouth on the day of trouble. ¹³ Do not go into the doors of my people on the day of their downfall; do not be looking on their trouble with pleasure on the day of their downfall, or put your hands on their goods on the day of their downfall. ¹⁴ And do not take your place at the cross-roads, cutting off those of his people who get away; and do not give up to their haters those who are still there in the day of trouble. ¹⁵ For the day of the Lord is coming quickly on all nations: as you have done it will be done to you; the reward of your acts will come on your head.

⁴ For I took you up out of the land of Egypt and made you free from the prison-house; I sent before you Moses, Aaron, and Miriam.

² You have been loved by me, says the Lord. But you say, Where was your love for us? Was not Esau Jacob's brother? says the Lord: but Jacob was loved by me,

²² But I say to you that everyone who is angry with his brother will be in danger of being judged; and he who says to his brother, Raca, will be in danger from the Sanhedrin; and whoever says, You foolish one, will be in danger of the hell of fire.

¹⁷ And Jesus, answering, said, O false and foolish generation, how long will I be with you? how long will I put up with you? let him come here to me.

²⁰ And he says to them, Because of your little faith: for truly I say to you, If you have faith as a grain of mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, Be moved from this place to that; and it will be moved; and nothing will be impossible to you.

²¹ And Jesus in answer said to them, Truly I say to you, If you have faith, without doubting, not only may you do what has been done to the fig-tree, but even if you say to this mountain, Be taken up and put into the sea, it will be done.

³⁹ And he went forward a little, and falling down on his face in prayer, he said, O my Father, if it is possible, let this cup go from me; but let not my pleasure, but yours be done.

²⁰ Teaching them to keep all the rules which I have given you: and see, I am ever with you, even to the end of the world.

²² And Jesus, answering, said to them, Have God's faith. ²³ Truly I say to you, Whoever says to this mountain, Be taken up and be put into the sea; and has no doubt in his heart, but has faith that what he says will come about, he will have his desire. ²⁴ For this reason I say to you, Whatever you make a request for in prayer, have faith that it has been given to you, and you will have it.

²⁰ Now, see, you will be without voice or language till the day when these things come about, because you had not faith in my words, which will have effect at the right time.

⁴⁵ Happy will she be who had faith that the things which the Lord has said to her will be done.

⁵⁴ And when his disciples, James and John, saw this, they said, Lord, may we send fire from heaven and put an end to them? ⁵⁵ But turning round he said sharp words to them.

¹³ If, then, you who are evil are able to give good things to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who make request to him?

¹⁷ For the law was given through Moses; grace and the true way of life are ours through Jesus Christ.

¹⁰ In answer Jesus said, If you had knowledge of what God gives freely and who it is who says to you, Give me water, you would make your prayer to him, and he would give you living water. ¹¹ The woman said to him, Sir, you have no vessel and the fountain is deep; from where will you get the living water? ¹² Are you greater than our father Jacob who gave us the fountain and took the water of it himself, with his children and his cattle? ¹³ Jesus said to her, Everyone who takes this water will be in need of it again: ¹⁴ But whoever takes the water I give him will never be in need of drink again; for the water I give him will become in him a fountain of eternal life.

²⁴ Up to now you have made no request in my name: do so, and it will be answered, so that your hearts may be full of joy.

¹⁴ And they all with one mind gave themselves up to prayer, with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and his brothers.

¹ And when the day of Pentecost was come, they were all together in one place. ² And suddenly there came from heaven a sound like the rushing of a violent wind, and all the house where they were was full of it. ³ And they saw tongues, like flames of fire, coming to rest on every one of them. ⁴ And they were all full of the Holy Spirit, and were talking in different languages, as the Spirit gave them power.

¹² And when Peter saw it he said to the people, You men of Israel, why are you so greatly surprised at this man? or why are you looking at us as if by our power or virtue we had given him the use of his legs? ¹³ The God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, the God of our fathers, has given glory to his servant Jesus; whom you gave up, turning your backs on him, when Pilate had made the decision to let him go free. 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, ¹⁵ And put to death the Lord of life; whom God gave back from the dead; of which fact we are witnesses. ¹⁶ And his name, through faith in his name, has made this man strong, whom you see and have knowledge of: yes, the faith which is through him has made him well, before you all.

¹⁵ And Jacob went down to Egypt, and came to his end there, and so did our fathers;

¹⁹ He, having evil designs against our nation, was cruel to our fathers, and they were forced to put out their young children, so that they might not go on living.

³⁵ This Moses, whom they would not have, saying, Who made you a ruler and a judge? him God sent to be a ruler and a saviour, by the hand of the angel whom he saw in the thorn-tree.

³⁹ By whom our fathers would not be controlled; but they put him on one side, turning back in their hearts to Egypt, ⁴⁰ And saying to Aaron, Make us gods to go before us: as for this Moses, who took us out of the land of Egypt, we have no idea what has become of him.

² And God-fearing men put Stephen's body in its last resting-place, making great weeping over him.

⁹ This man was giving ear to the preaching of Paul, who, looking at him, and seeing that he had faith to be made well, ¹⁰ Said in a loud voice, Get up on your feet. And, jumping up, he went walking about. ¹¹ And when the people saw what Paul had done, they said in a loud voice, in the language of Lycaonia, The gods have come down to us in the form of men. ¹² And they gave the name of Jupiter to Barnabas, and to Paul that of Mercury, because he was the chief talker. ¹³ And the priest of the image of Jupiter, which was before the town, took oxen and flowers to the doors of the town, and was about to make an offering with the people. ¹⁴ But when this came to the ears of the Apostles, Paul and Barnabas, they went running out among the people, parting their clothing, and crying out, ¹⁵ Good people, why are you doing these things? We are men with the same feelings as you, and we give you the good news so that you may be turned away from these foolish things to the living God, who made the heaven and the earth and the sea and all things in them:

²⁵ And now I am conscious that you, among whom I have gone about preaching the kingdom, will not see my face again. ²⁶ And so I say to you this day that I am clean from the blood of all men. ²⁷ For I have not kept back from you anything of the purpose of God. ²⁸ Give attention to yourselves, and to all the flock which the Holy Spirit has given into your care, to give food to the church of God, for which he gave his blood. ²⁹ I am conscious that after I am gone, evil wolves will come in among you, doing damage to the flock;

³ Then Paul said to him, God will give blows to you, you whitewashed wall: are you here to be my judge by law, and by your orders am I given blows against the law? ⁴ And those who were near said, Do you say such words against God's high priest? ⁵ And Paul said, Brother, I had no idea that he was the high priest: for it has been said, You may not say evil about the ruler of your people.

²⁰ Still, he did not give up faith in the undertaking of God, but was made strong by faith, giving glory to God,

¹⁷ So I have pride in Christ Jesus in the things which are God's. ¹⁸ And I will keep myself from talking of anything but those things which Christ has done by me to put the Gentiles under his rule in word and in act, ¹⁹ By signs and wonders, in the power of the Holy Spirit; so that from Jerusalem and round about as far as Illyricum I have given all the good news of Christ;

⁷ So then the planter is nothing, and the waterer is nothing; but God who gives the increase.

⁴ And the same holy drink: for they all took of the water from the holy rock which came after them: and the rock was Christ.

¹⁰ And do not say evil things against the Lord, as some of them did, and destruction overtook them. 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.

²⁶ Be angry without doing wrong; let not the sun go down on your wrath;

¹¹ Now if it was possible for things to be made complete through the priests of the house of Levi for the law was given to the people in connection with them, what need was there for another priest who was of the order of Melchizedek and not of the order of Aaron?

²³ And it is true that there have been a great number of those priests, because death does not let them go on for ever; ²⁴ But this priest, because his life goes on for ever, is unchanging.

²⁴ But this priest, because his life goes on for ever, is unchanging. 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.

²⁰ For the righteousness of God does not come about by the wrath of man.

² For we all go wrong in a number of things. If a man never makes a slip in his talk, then he is a complete man and able to keep all his body in control.

¹⁵ But give honour to Christ in your hearts as your Lord; and be ready at any time when you are questioned about the hope which is in you, to give an answer in the fear of the Lord and without pride;

¹⁵ And I will take every care so that you may have a clear memory of these things after my death.

¹ And I saw a river of water of life, clear as glass, coming out of the high seat of God and of the Lamb,

¹⁷ And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him who gives ear, say, Come. And let him who is in need come; and let everyone desiring it take of the water of life freely.
