¹ Now in the fifteenth year of the government of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judaea, and Herod tetrarch of Galilee, and Philip his brother tetrarch of Ituraea and the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilene, ² in the high priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, [the] word of God came upon John, the son of Zacharias, in the wilderness. ³ And he came into all the district round the Jordan, preaching [the] baptism of repentance for [the] remission of sins, ⁴ as it is written in [the] book of [the] words of Esaias the prophet: Voice of one crying in the wilderness: Prepare ye the way of [the] Lord, make straight his paths. ⁵ Every gorge shall be filled up, and every mountain and hill shall be brought low, and the crooked [places] shall become a straight [path], and the rough places smooth ways, ⁶ and all flesh shall see the salvation of God. ⁷ He said therefore to the crowds which went out to be baptised by him, Offspring of vipers, who has forewarned you to flee from the coming wrath? ⁸ Produce therefore fruits worthy of repentance; and begin not to say in yourselves, We have Abraham for [our] father, for I say unto you that God is able of these stones to raise up children to Abraham. ⁹ And already also the axe is applied to the root of the trees; every tree therefore not producing good fruit is cut down and cast into [the] fire. ¹⁰ And the crowds asked him saying, What should we do then? ¹¹ And he answering says to them, He that has two body-coats, let him give to him that has none; and he that has food, let him do likewise. ¹² And tax-gatherers came also to be baptised, and they said to him, Teacher, what should we do? ¹³ And he said to them, Take no more [money] than what is appointed to you. ¹⁴ And persons engaged in military service also asked him saying, And we, what should we do? And he said to them, Oppress no one, nor accuse falsely, and be satisfied with your pay. ¹⁵ But as the people were in expectation, and all were reasoning in their hearts concerning John whether *he* might be the Christ, ¹⁶ John answered all, saying, *I* indeed baptise you with water, but the mightier than I is coming, the thong of whose sandals I am not fit to unloose; *he* shall baptise you with [the] Holy Spirit and fire; ¹⁷ whose winnowing-fan is in his hand, and he will thoroughly purge his threshing-floor, and will gather the wheat into his garner, but the chaff he will burn with fire unquenchable. ¹⁸ Exhorting then many other things also he announced [his] glad tidings to the people. ¹⁹ But Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him as to Herodias, the wife of his brother, and as to all the wicked things which Herod had done, ²⁰ added this also to all [the rest], that he shut up John in prison. ²¹ And it came to pass, all the people having been baptised, and Jesus having been baptised and praying, that the heaven was opened, ²² and the Holy Spirit descended in a bodily form as a dove upon him; and a voice came out of heaven, *Thou* art my beloved Son, in thee I have found my delight. ²³ And Jesus himself was beginning to be about thirty years old; being as was supposed son of Joseph; of Eli, ²⁴ of Matthat, of Levi, of Melchi, of Janna, of Joseph, ²⁵ of Mattathias, of Amos, of Naoum, of Esli, of Naggai, ²⁶ of Maath, of Mattathias, of Semei, of Joseph, of Juda, ²⁷ of Joannes, of Resa, of Zorobabel, of Salathiel, of Neri, ²⁸ of Melchi, of Addi, of Cosam, of Elmodam, of Er, ²⁹ of Joses, of Eliezer, of Joreim, of Matthat, of Levi, ³⁰ of Simeon, of Juda, of Joseph, of Jonan, of Eliakim, ³¹ of Meleas, of Menan, of Mattatha, of Nathan, of David, ³² of Jesse, of Obed, of Booz, of Salmon, of Naasson, ³³ of Aminadab, of Aram, of Esrom, of Phares, of Juda, ³⁴ of Jacob, of Isaac, of Abraham, of Terah, of Nachor, ³⁵ of Seruch, of Ragau, of Phalek, of Eber, of Sala, ³⁶ of Cainan, of Arphaxad, of Sem, of Noe, of Lamech, ³⁷ of Methusala, of Enoch, of Jared, of Maleleel, of Cainan, ³⁸ of Enos, of Seth, of Adam, of God.

²⁷ And when the wicked turneth from his wickedness which he hath committed, and doeth judgment and justice, he shall keep his soul alive. ²⁸ Because he considereth, and turneth from all his transgressions which he hath committed, he shall certainly live, he shall not die.

²⁸ Because he considereth, and turneth from all his transgressions which he hath committed, he shall certainly live, he shall not die. ²⁹ But the house of Israel say, The way of the Lord is not equal. O house of Israel, are not my ways equal? Is it not your ways that are unequal? ³⁰ Therefore I will judge you, house of Israel, every one according to his ways, saith the Lord Jehovah. Return ye, and turn from all your transgressions; so iniquity shall not be your snare. ³¹ Cast away from you all your transgressions wherewith ye have transgressed, and make you a new heart and a new spirit: why then will ye die, house of Israel?

¹⁸ To whom art thou thus like in glory and in greatness among the trees of Eden? Yet shalt thou be brought down with the trees of Eden, unto the lower parts of the earth; thou shalt lie in the midst of the uncircumcised, with them that are slain by the sword. This is Pharaoh and all his multitude, saith the Lord Jehovah.

²⁵ And I will sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean: from all your uncleannesses and from all your idols will I cleanse you.

¹⁴ he cried aloud, and said thus: Hew down the tree, and cut off its branches, shake off its leaves, and scatter its fruit; let the beasts get away from under it, and the birds from its branches.

²³ And whereas the king saw a watcher and a holy one coming down from the heavens, and saying, Hew the tree down, and destroy it; nevertheless leave the stump of its roots in the earth, even with a band of iron and brass, in the tender grass of the field; and let it be bathed with the dew of heaven, and let his portion be with the beasts of the field, till seven times pass over him:

²⁷ Therefore, O king, let my counsel be acceptable unto thee, and break off thy sins by righteousness, and thine iniquities by shewing mercy to the poor; if it may be a lengthening of thy tranquillity.

¹ The word of Jehovah that came unto Hosea, the son of Beeri, in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, Hezekiah, kings of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam the son of Joash, king of Israel. ² The beginning of the word of Jehovah through Hosea. And Jehovah said to Hosea, Go, take unto thee a wife of whoredoms, and children of whoredoms; for the land is entirely given up to whoredom, away from Jehovah.

²⁸ And it shall come to pass afterwards [that] I will pour out my Spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions. ²⁹ Yea, even upon the bondmen and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my Spirit.

¹ And the word of Jehovah came unto Jonah the son of Amittai, saying,

¹ The word of Jehovah that came to Micah the Morasthite in the days of Jotham, Ahaz, [and] Hezekiah, kings of Judah, which he saw concerning Samaria and Jerusalem.

¹² But they know not the thoughts of Jehovah, neither understand they his counsel; for he hath gathered them together as the sheaves into the threshing-floor.

⁸ He hath shewn thee, O man, what is good: and what doth Jehovah require of thee, but to do justly, and to love goodness, and to walk humbly with thy God?

¹ The word of Jehovah that came unto Zephaniah the son of Cushi, the son of Gedaliah, the son of Amariah, the son of Hezekiah, in the days of Josiah the son of Amon, king of Judah.

¹² And the land shall mourn, every family apart: the family of the house of David apart, and their wives apart; the family of the house of Nathan apart, and their wives apart;

⁹ And I will bring the third part into the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried. They shall call on my name, and I will answer them: I will say, It is my people; and they shall say, Jehovah is my God.

² But who shall endure the day of his coming? and who shall stand when he appeareth? For he will be like a refiner`s fire, and like fullers` lye. ³ And he shall sit [as] a refiner and purifier of silver; and he will purify the children of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver; and they shall offer unto Jehovah an oblation in righteousness.

⁶ And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.

¹ Book of the generation of Jesus Christ, Son of David, Son of Abraham. ² Abraham begat Isaac; and Isaac begat Jacob, and Jacob begat Juda and his brethren;

² Abraham begat Isaac; and Isaac begat Jacob, and Jacob begat Juda and his brethren; ³ and Juda begat Phares and Zara of Thamar; and Phares begat Esrom, and Esrom begat Aram,

¹ Now in those days comes John the baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judaea, ² and saying, Repent, for the kingdom of the heavens has drawn nigh. ³ For this is he who has been spoken of through Esaias the prophet, saying, Voice of him that crieth in the wilderness: prepare ye the way of [the] Lord, make straight his paths.

³ For this is he who has been spoken of through Esaias the prophet, saying, Voice of him that crieth in the wilderness: prepare ye the way of [the] Lord, make straight his paths. ⁴ And John himself had his garment of camel`s hair, and a leathern girdle about his loins, and his nourishment was locusts and wild honey. ⁵ Then went out to him Jerusalem, and all Judaea, and all the country round the Jordan,

⁵ Then went out to him Jerusalem, and all Judaea, and all the country round the Jordan, ⁶ and were baptised by him in the Jordan, confessing their sins.

⁶ and were baptised by him in the Jordan, confessing their sins. ⁷ But seeing many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to his baptism, he said to them, Offspring of vipers, who has forewarned you to flee from the coming wrath? ⁸ Produce therefore fruit worthy of repentance. ⁹ And do not think to say within yourselves, We have Abraham for [our] father; for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children to Abraham. ¹⁰ And already the axe is applied to the root of the trees; every tree therefore not producing good fruit is cut down and cast into the fire.

¹⁰ And already the axe is applied to the root of the trees; every tree therefore not producing good fruit is cut down and cast into the fire. ¹¹ *I* indeed baptise you with water to repentance, but he that comes after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not fit to bear; *he* shall baptise you with [the] Holy Spirit and fire; ¹² whose winnowing fan [is] in his hand, and he shall thoroughly purge his threshing-floor, and shall gather his wheat into the garner, but the chaff he will burn with fire unquenchable. ¹³ Then comes Jesus from Galilee to the Jordan to John, to be baptised of him; ¹⁴ but John urgently forbad him, saying, *I* have need to be baptised of thee; and comest *thou* to me? ¹⁵ But Jesus answering said to him, Suffer [it] now; for thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness. Then he suffers him. ¹⁶ And Jesus, having been baptised, went up straightway from the water, and lo, the heavens were opened to him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending as a dove, and coming upon him: ¹⁷ and behold, a voice out of the heavens saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I have found my delight.

¹⁷ and behold, a voice out of the heavens saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I have found my delight.

¹⁷ From that time began Jesus to preach and to say, Repent, for the kingdom of the heavens has drawn nigh.

¹² Therefore all things whatever ye desire that men should do to you, thus do *ye* also do to them; for this is the law and the prophets.

¹⁹ Every tree not producing good fruit is cut down and cast into the fire.

⁵ And when he had entered into Capernaum, a centurion came to him, beseeching him,

¹¹ But I say unto you, that many shall come from [the] rising and setting [sun], and shall lie down at table with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of the heavens; ¹² but the sons of the kingdom shall be cast out into the outer darkness: there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.

² But John, having heard in the prison the works of the Christ, sent by his disciples,

⁷ But as they went [away], Jesus began to say to the crowds concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness to see? a reed moved about by the wind?

¹⁸ Behold my servant, whom I have chosen, my beloved, in whom my soul has found its delight. I will put my Spirit upon him, and he shall shew forth judgment to the nations.

³⁴ Offspring of vipers! how can ye speak good things, being wicked? For of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.

³⁰ Suffer both to grow together unto the harvest, and in time of the harvest I will say to the harvestmen, Gather first the darnel, and bind it into bundles to burn it; but the wheat bring together into my granary.

⁵⁵ Is not this the son of the carpenter? Is not his mother called Mary, and his brethren James, and Joseph, and Simon, and Judas?

¹ At that time Herod the tetrarch heard of the fame of Jesus,

³ For Herod had seized John, and had bound him and put him in prison on account of Herodias the wife of Philip his brother.

³ For Herod had seized John, and had bound him and put him in prison on account of Herodias the wife of Philip his brother. ⁴ For John said to him, It is not lawful for thee to have her.

²³ And having dismissed the crowds, he went up into the mountain apart to pray. And when even was come, he was alone there,

⁵ While he was still speaking, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them, and lo, a voice out of the cloud, saying, *This* is my beloved Son, in whom I have found my delight: hear him.

³¹ Which of the two did the will of the father? They say [to him], The first. Jesus says to them, Verily I say unto you that the tax-gatherers and the harlots go into the kingdom of God before you. ³² For John came to you in the way of righteousness, and ye believed him not; but the tax-gatherers and the harlots believed him; but *ye* when ye saw [it] repented not yourselves afterwards to believe him.

³⁵ And the husbandmen took his bondmen, and beat one, killed another, and stoned another. ³⁶ Again he sent other bondmen more than the first, and they did to them in like manner. ³⁷ And at last he sent to them his son, saying, They will have respect for my son. ³⁸ But the husbandmen, seeing the son, said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him and possess his inheritance. ³⁹ And they took him, and cast him forth out of the vineyard, and killed him. ⁴⁰ When therefore the lord of the vineyard comes, what shall he do to those husbandmen? ⁴¹ They say to him, He will miserably destroy those evil [men], and let out the vineyard to other husbandmen, who shall render him the fruits in their seasons.

⁴³ Therefore I say to you, that the kingdom of God shall be taken from you and shall be given to a nation producing the fruits of it.

⁶ And the rest, laying hold of his bondmen, ill-treated and slew [them]. ⁷ And [when] the king [heard of it he] was wroth, and having sent his forces, destroyed those murderers and burned their city.

³¹ So that ye bear witness of yourselves that ye are sons of those who slew the prophets: ³² and *ye*, fill ye up the measure of your fathers. ³³ Serpents, offspring of vipers, how should ye escape the judgment of hell?

³³ Serpents, offspring of vipers, how should ye escape the judgment of hell?

⁴⁰ And the King answering shall say to them, Verily, I say to you, Inasmuch as ye have done it to one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it to me.

³ Then the chief priests and the elders of the people were gathered together to the palace of the high priest who was called Caiaphas,

² And having bound him they led him away, and delivered him up to Pontius Pilate, the governor.

⁴³ He trusted upon God; let him save him now if he will [have] him. For he said, I am Son of God.

³ Voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare the way of [the] Lord, make his paths straight.

³ Voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare the way of [the] Lord, make his paths straight. ⁴ There came John baptising in the wilderness, and preaching [the] baptism of repentance for remission of sins. ⁵ And there went out to him all the district of Judaea, and all they of Jerusalem, and were baptised by him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins.

⁷ And he preached, saying, There comes he that is mightier than I after me, the thong of whose sandals I am not fit to stoop down and unloose. ⁸ *I* indeed have baptised you with water, but *he* shall baptise you with [the] Holy Spirit. ⁹ And it came to pass in those days [that] Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptised by John at the Jordan. ¹⁰ And straightway going up from the water, he saw the heavens parting asunder, and the Spirit, as a dove, descending upon him. ¹¹ And there came a voice out of the heavens: *Thou* art my beloved Son, in thee I have found my delight.

³ Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, and brother of James, and Joses, and Judas, and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us? And they were offended in him.

¹⁷ For the same Herod had sent and seized John, and had bound him in prison on account of Herodias, the wife of Philip his brother, because he had married her.

¹⁷ For the same Herod had sent and seized John, and had bound him in prison on account of Herodias, the wife of Philip his brother, because he had married her. ¹⁸ For John said to Herod, It is not lawful for thee to have the wife of thy brother.

⁴³ And if thy hand serve as a snare to thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having thy two hands to go away into hell, into the fire unquenchable; ⁴⁴ [where their worm dies not, and the fire is not quenched]. ⁴⁵ And if thy foot serve as a snare to thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life lame, than having thy two feet to be cast into hell, into the fire unquenchable; ⁴⁶ [where their worm dies not, and the fire is not quenched]. ⁴⁷ And if thine eye serve as a snare to thee, cast it out: it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into the hell of fire, ⁴⁸ where their worm dies not, and the fire is not quenched. ⁴⁹ For every one shall be salted with fire, and every sacrifice shall be salted with salt.

⁵ for this ointment could have been sold for more than three hundred denarii and given to the poor. And they spoke very angrily at her. ⁶ But Jesus said, Let her alone; why do ye trouble her? she has wrought a good work as to me; ⁷ for ye have the poor always with you, and whenever ye would ye can do them good; but me ye have not always. ⁸ What *she* could she has done. She has beforehand anointed my body for the burial.

¹⁵ And he said to them, Go into all the world, and preach the glad tidings to all the creation.

¹⁶ And many of the sons of Israel shall he turn to [the] Lord their God. ¹⁷ And *he* shall go before him in [the] spirit and power of Elias, to turn hearts of fathers to children, and disobedient ones to [the] thoughts of just [men], to make ready for [the] Lord a prepared people.

⁵¹ He has wrought strength with his arm; he has scattered haughty [ones] in the thought of their heart. ⁵² He has put down rulers from thrones, and exalted the lowly. ⁵³ He has filled the hungry with good things, and sent away the rich empty.

⁵⁹ And it came to pass on the eighth day they came to circumcise the child, and they called it after the name of his father, Zacharias. ⁶⁰ And his mother answering said, No; but he shall be called John. ⁶¹ And they said to her, There is no one among thy kinsfolk who is called by this name. ⁶² And they made signs to his father as to what he might wish it to be called. ⁶³ And having asked for a writing-table, he wrote saying, John is his name. And they all wondered.

⁷⁶ And *thou*, child, shalt be called [the] prophet of [the] Highest; for thou shalt go before the face of [the] Lord to make ready his ways; ⁷⁷ to give knowledge of deliverance to his people by [the] remission of their sins

⁷⁷ to give knowledge of deliverance to his people by [the] remission of their sins ⁷⁸ on account of [the] bowels of mercy of our God; wherein [the] dayspring from on high has visited us, ⁷⁹ to shine upon them who were sitting in darkness and in [the] shadow of death, to guide our feet into [the] way of peace. ⁸⁰ -- And the child grew and was strengthened in spirit; and he was in the deserts until the day of his shewing to Israel.

¹ But it came to pass in those days that a decree went out from Caesar Augustus, that a census should be made of all the habitable world.

¹⁰ And the angel said to them, Fear not, for behold, I announce to you glad tidings of great joy, which shall be to all the people; ¹¹ for to-day a Saviour has been born to you in David`s city, who is Christ [the] Lord.

³⁰ for mine eyes have seen thy salvation, ³¹ which thou hast prepared before the face of all peoples; ³² a light for revelation of [the] Gentiles and [the] glory of thy people Israel.

¹ Now in the fifteenth year of the government of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judaea, and Herod tetrarch of Galilee, and Philip his brother tetrarch of Ituraea and the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilene,

³ And he came into all the district round the Jordan, preaching [the] baptism of repentance for [the] remission of sins, ⁴ as it is written in [the] book of [the] words of Esaias the prophet: Voice of one crying in the wilderness: Prepare ye the way of [the] Lord, make straight his paths. ⁵ Every gorge shall be filled up, and every mountain and hill shall be brought low, and the crooked [places] shall become a straight [path], and the rough places smooth ways, ⁶ and all flesh shall see the salvation of God. ⁷ He said therefore to the crowds which went out to be baptised by him, Offspring of vipers, who has forewarned you to flee from the coming wrath? ⁸ Produce therefore fruits worthy of repentance; and begin not to say in yourselves, We have Abraham for [our] father, for I say unto you that God is able of these stones to raise up children to Abraham.

⁸ Produce therefore fruits worthy of repentance; and begin not to say in yourselves, We have Abraham for [our] father, for I say unto you that God is able of these stones to raise up children to Abraham. ⁹ And already also the axe is applied to the root of the trees; every tree therefore not producing good fruit is cut down and cast into [the] fire. ¹⁰ And the crowds asked him saying, What should we do then? ¹¹ And he answering says to them, He that has two body-coats, let him give to him that has none; and he that has food, let him do likewise. ¹² And tax-gatherers came also to be baptised, and they said to him, Teacher, what should we do?

¹² And tax-gatherers came also to be baptised, and they said to him, Teacher, what should we do? ¹³ And he said to them, Take no more [money] than what is appointed to you. ¹⁴ And persons engaged in military service also asked him saying, And we, what should we do? And he said to them, Oppress no one, nor accuse falsely, and be satisfied with your pay.

¹⁴ And persons engaged in military service also asked him saying, And we, what should we do? And he said to them, Oppress no one, nor accuse falsely, and be satisfied with your pay. ¹⁵ But as the people were in expectation, and all were reasoning in their hearts concerning John whether *he* might be the Christ, ¹⁶ John answered all, saying, *I* indeed baptise you with water, but the mightier than I is coming, the thong of whose sandals I am not fit to unloose; *he* shall baptise you with [the] Holy Spirit and fire; ¹⁷ whose winnowing-fan is in his hand, and he will thoroughly purge his threshing-floor, and will gather the wheat into his garner, but the chaff he will burn with fire unquenchable.

¹⁹ But Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him as to Herodias, the wife of his brother, and as to all the wicked things which Herod had done,

²³ And Jesus himself was beginning to be about thirty years old; being as was supposed son of Joseph; of Eli, ²⁴ of Matthat, of Levi, of Melchi, of Janna, of Joseph, ²⁵ of Mattathias, of Amos, of Naoum, of Esli, of Naggai, ²⁶ of Maath, of Mattathias, of Semei, of Joseph, of Juda, ²⁷ of Joannes, of Resa, of Zorobabel, of Salathiel, of Neri,

³¹ of Meleas, of Menan, of Mattatha, of Nathan, of David,

²¹ And he began to say to them, To-day this scripture is fulfilled in your ears. ²² And all bore witness to him, and wondered at the words of grace which were coming out of his mouth. And they said, Is not this the son of Joseph?

¹⁶ And *he* withdrew himself, and was about in the desert [places] and praying.

²⁹ (And all the people who heard [it], and the tax-gatherers, justified God, having been baptised with the baptism of John;

⁷ And Herod the tetrarch heard of all the things which were done [by him], and was in perplexity, because it was said by some that John was risen from among [the] dead,

¹⁸ And it came to pass as he was praying alone, his disciples were with him, and he asked them saying, Who do the crowds say that I am?

²⁸ And it came to pass after these words, about eight days, that taking Peter and John and James he went up into a mountain to pray. ²⁹ And as he prayed the fashion of his countenance became different and his raiment white [and] effulgent.

³⁴ But as he was saying these things, there came a cloud and overshadowed them, and they feared as they entered into the cloud: ³⁵ and there was a voice out of the cloud saying, *This* is my beloved Son: hear him.

⁴¹ But rather give alms of what ye have, and behold, all things are clean to you.

⁷ And he said to the vinedresser, Behold, [these] three years I come seeking fruit on this fig-tree and find none: cut it down; why does it also render the ground useless?

⁹ and if it shall bear fruit -- but if not, after that thou shalt cut it down.

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

³¹ The same hour certain Pharisees came up, saying to him, Get out, and go hence, for Herod is desirous to kill thee. ³² And he said to them, Go, tell that fox, Behold, I cast out demons and accomplish cures to-day and to-morrow, and the third [day] I am perfected; ³³ but I must needs walk to-day and to-morrow and the [day] following, for it must not be that a prophet perish out of Jerusalem. ³⁴ Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the [city] that kills the prophets and stones those that are sent unto her, how often would I have gathered thy children together, as a hen her brood under her wings, and ye would not.

¹ And all the tax-gatherers and the sinners were coming near to him to hear him; ² and the Pharisees and the scribes murmured, saying, This [man] receives sinners and eats with them.

²³ And in hades lifting up his eyes, being in torments, he sees Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. ²⁴ And he crying out said, Father Abraham, have compassion on me, and send Lazarus that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, for I am suffering in this flame. ²⁵ But Abraham said, Child, recollect that *thou* hast fully received thy good things in thy lifetime, and likewise Lazarus evil things. But now he is comforted here, and *thou* art in suffering. ²⁶ And besides all this, between us and you a great chasm is fixed, so that those who desire to pass hence to you cannot, nor do they who [desire to cross] from there pass over unto us. ²⁷ And he said, I beseech thee then, father, that thou wouldest send him to the house of my father, ²⁸ for I have five brothers, so that he may earnestly testify to them, that they also may not come to this place of torment. ²⁹ But Abraham says to him, They have Moses and the prophets: let them hear them. ³⁰ But he said, Nay, father Abraham, but if one from the dead should go to them, they will repent. ³¹ And he said to him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, not even if one rise from among [the] dead will they be persuaded.

²⁷ they ate, they drank, they married, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came and destroyed all [of them];

¹³ And the tax-gatherer, standing afar off, would not lift up even his eyes to heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, O God, have compassion on me, the sinner.

²² And when Jesus had heard this, he said to him, One thing is lacking to thee yet: Sell all that thou hast and distribute to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in the heavens, and come, follow me.

⁸ But Zacchaeus stood and said to the Lord, Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor, and if I have taken anything from any man by false accusation, I return [him] fourfold.

⁴⁰ And he answering said to them, I say unto you, If these shall be silent, the stones will cry out.

¹ And the whole multitude of them, rising up, led him to Pilate. ² And they began to accuse him, saying, We have found this [man] perverting our nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Caesar, saying that he himself is Christ, a king. ³ And Pilate demanded of him saying, Art *thou* the king of the Jews? And he answering him said, Thou sayest. ⁴ And Pilate said to the chief priests and the crowds, I find no guilt in this man.

⁶ But Pilate, having heard Galilee [named], demanded if the man were a Galilaean; ⁷ and having learned that he was of Herod`s jurisdiction, remitted him to Herod, who himself also was at Jerusalem in those days. ⁸ And when Herod saw Jesus he greatly rejoiced, for he had been a long while desirous of seeing him, because of hearing many things concerning him, and he hoped to see some sign done by him; ⁹ and he questioned him in many words, but *he* answered him nothing. ¹⁰ And the chief priests and the scribes stood and accused him violently. ¹¹ And Herod with his troops having set him at nought and mocked him, having put a splendid robe upon him, sent him back to Pilate.

²⁴ And Pilate adjudged that what they begged should take place.

²⁹ for behold, days are coming in which they will say, Blessed [are] the barren, and wombs that have not borne, and breasts that have not given suck. ³⁰ Then shall they begin to say to the mountains, Fall upon us; and to the hills, Cover us: ³¹ for if these things are done in the green tree, what shall take place in the dry?

⁷ He came for witness, that he might witness concerning the light, that all might believe through him.

¹⁵ (John bears witness of him, and he has cried, saying, This was he of whom I said, He that comes after me is preferred before me, for he was before me;)

¹⁹ And this is the witness of John, when the Jews sent from Jerusalem priests and Levites that they might ask him, Thou, who art thou? ²⁰ And he acknowledged and denied not, and acknowledged, I am not the Christ. ²¹ And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elias? And he says, I am not. Art thou the prophet? And he answered, No. ²² They said therefore to him, Who art thou? that we may give an answer to those who sent us. What sayest thou of thyself? ²³ He said, I [am] [the] voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the path of [the] Lord, as said Esaias the prophet.

²³ He said, I [am] [the] voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the path of [the] Lord, as said Esaias the prophet. ²⁴ And they were sent from among the Pharisees. ²⁵ And they asked him and said to him, Why baptisest thou then, if thou art not the Christ, nor Elias, nor the prophet? ²⁶ John answered them saying, I baptise with water. In the midst of you stands, whom ye do not know,

²⁶ John answered them saying, I baptise with water. In the midst of you stands, whom ye do not know,

²⁶ John answered them saying, I baptise with water. In the midst of you stands, whom ye do not know, ²⁷ he who comes after me, the thong of whose sandal I am not worthy to unloose.

²⁷ he who comes after me, the thong of whose sandal I am not worthy to unloose. ²⁸ These things took place in Bethany, across the Jordan, where John was baptising.

²⁸ These things took place in Bethany, across the Jordan, where John was baptising.

²⁹ On the morrow he sees Jesus coming to him, and says, Behold the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world. ³⁰ He it is of whom I said, A man comes after me who takes a place before me, because he *was* before me; ³¹ and I knew him not; but that he might be manifested to Israel, therefore have I come baptising with water.

³¹ and I knew him not; but that he might be manifested to Israel, therefore have I come baptising with water. ³² And John bore witness, saying, I beheld the Spirit descending as a dove from heaven, and it abode upon him.

³³ And I knew him not; but he who sent me to baptise with water, *he* said to me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending and abiding on him, he it is who baptises with [the] Holy Spirit.

³⁴ And I have seen and borne witness that this is the Son of God. ³⁵ Again, on the morrow, there stood John and two of his disciples. ³⁶ And, looking at Jesus as he walked, he says, Behold the Lamb of God.

²⁴ for John was not yet cast into prison.

²⁶ And they came to John and said to him, Rabbi, he who was with thee beyond the Jordan, to whom thou barest witness, behold, he baptises, and all come to him.

²⁸ Ye yourselves bear me witness that I said, I am not the Christ, but, that I am sent before him.

²⁸ Ye yourselves bear me witness that I said, I am not the Christ, but, that I am sent before him. ²⁹ He that has the bride is the bridegroom; but the friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices in heart because of the voice of the bridegroom: this my joy then is fulfilled.

²⁹ He that has the bride is the bridegroom; but the friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices in heart because of the voice of the bridegroom: this my joy then is fulfilled. ³⁰ He must increase, but I must decrease. ³¹ He who comes from above is above all. He who has his origin in the earth is of the earth, and speaks [as] of the earth. He who comes out of heaven is above all, ³² [and] what he has seen and has heard, this he testifies; and no one receives his testimony. ³³ He that has received his testimony has set to his seal that God is true; ³⁴ for he whom God has sent speaks the words of God, for God gives not the Spirit by measure. ³⁵ The Father loves the Son, and has given all things [to be] in his hand. ³⁶ He that believes on the Son has life eternal, and he that is not subject to the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides upon him.

⁴² And they said, Is not this Jesus the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we have known? how then does *he* say, I am come down out of heaven?

³⁸ He that believes on me, as the scripture has said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.

³³ They answered him, We are Abraham`s seed, and have never been under bondage to any one; how sayest thou, Ye shall become free?

³⁹ They answered and said to him, Abraham is our father. Jesus says to them, If ye were Abraham`s children, ye would do the works of Abraham;

⁴⁴ Ye are of the devil, as [your] father, and ye desire to do the lusts of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and has not stood in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks falsehood, he speaks of what is his own; for he is a liar and its father:

²⁴ The Jews therefore surrounded him, and said to him, Until when dost thou hold our soul in suspense? If thou art the Christ, say [so] to us openly.

⁴⁹ But a certain one of them, Caiaphas, being high priest that year, said to them, Ye know nothing ⁵⁰ nor consider that it is profitable for you that one man die for the people, and not that the whole nation perish. ⁵¹ But this he did not say of himself; but, being high priest that year, prophesied that Jesus was going to die for the nation;

²⁷ Now is my soul troubled, and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour. But on account of this have I come to this hour. ²⁸ Father, glorify thy name. There came therefore a voice out of heaven, I both have glorified and will glorify [it] again.

²⁹ for some supposed, because Judas had the bag, that Jesus was saying to him, Buy the things of which we have need for the feast; or that he should give something to the poor.

⁶ Unless any one abide in me he is cast out as the branch, and is dried up; and they gather them and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.

¹³ and they led him away to Annas first; for he was father-in-law to Caiaphas, who was high priest that year. ¹⁴ But it was Caiaphas who counselled the Jews that it was better that one man should perish for the people.

²⁴ Annas [then] had sent him bound to Caiaphas the high priest.

¹ I composed the first discourse, O Theophilus, concerning all things which Jesus began both to do and to teach,

⁵ For John indeed baptised with water, but *ye* shall be baptised with the Holy Spirit after now not many days.

³ And there appeared to them parted tongues, as of fire, and it sat upon each one of them. ⁴ And they were all filled with [the] Holy Spirit, and began to speak with other tongues as the Spirit gave to them to speak forth.

¹⁷ And it shall be in the last days, saith God, [that] I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your elders shall dream with dreams; ¹⁸ yea, even upon my bondmen and upon my bondwomen in those days will I pour out of my Spirit, and they shall prophesy.

³³ Having therefore been exalted by the right hand of God, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, he has poured out this which *ye* behold and hear.

³⁷ And having heard [it] they were pricked in heart, and said to Peter and the other apostles, What shall we do, brethren?

⁴⁰ And with many other words he testified and exhorted them, saying, Be saved from this perverse generation.

⁶ and Annas the high priest, and Caiaphas, and John, and Alexander, and as many as were of [the] high priestly family;

²⁷ For in truth against thy holy servant Jesus, whom thou hadst anointed, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with [the] nations, and peoples of Israel, have been gathered together in this city

⁸ And he gave to him [the] covenant of circumcision; and thus he begat Isaac and circumcised him the eighth day; and Isaac Jacob, and Jacob the twelve patriarchs.

⁶ But rise up and enter into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do.

² pious, and fearing God with all his house, [both] giving much alms to the people, and supplicating God continually,

⁴ But he, having fixed his eyes upon him, and become full of fear, said, What is it, Lord? And he said to him, Thy prayers and thine alms have gone up for a memorial before God.

⁷ And when the angel who was speaking to him had departed, having called two of his household and a pious soldier of those who were constantly with him,

³¹ and said, Cornelius, thy prayer has been heard, and thy alms have come in remembrance before God.

³⁸ Jesus who [was] of Nazareth: how God anointed him with [the] Holy Spirit and with power; who went through [all quarters] doing good, and healing all that were under the power of the devil, because God was with him.

⁴⁴ While Peter was yet speaking these words the Holy Spirit fell upon all those who were hearing the word.

¹⁵ And as I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell upon them even as upon us also at the beginning. ¹⁶ And I remembered the word of the Lord, how he said, John baptised with water, but *ye* shall be baptised with [the] Holy Spirit.

¹⁰ said, O full of all deceit and all craft: son of [the] devil, enemy of all righteousness; wilt thou not cease perverting the right paths of [the] Lord?

²² And having removed him he raised up to them David for king, of whom also bearing witness he said, I have found David, the son of Jesse, a man after my heart, who shall do all my will. ²³ Of this man`s seed according to promise has God brought to Israel a Saviour, Jesus; ²⁴ John having proclaimed before the face of his entry [among the people] [the] baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel.

²⁴ John having proclaimed before the face of his entry [among the people] [the] baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel. ²⁵ And as John was fulfilling his course he said, Whom do ye suppose that I am? *I* am not [he]. But behold, there comes one after me, the sandal of whose feet I am not worthy to loose.

³⁰ And leading them out said, Sirs, what must I do that I may be saved?

²⁶ and has made of one blood every nation of men to dwell upon the whole face of the earth, having determined ordained times and the boundaries of their dwelling, ²⁷ that they may seek God; if indeed they might feel after him and find him, although he is not far from each one of us: ²⁸ for in him we live and move and exist; as also some of the poets amongst you have said, For we are also his offspring. ²⁹ Being therefore [the] offspring of God, we ought not to think that which is divine to be like gold or silver or stone, [the] graven form of man`s art and imagination.

⁴ And Paul said, John indeed baptised [with] the baptism of repentance, saying to the people that they should believe on him that was coming after him, that is, on Jesus.

⁴ And Paul said, John indeed baptised [with] the baptism of repentance, saying to the people that they should believe on him that was coming after him, that is, on Jesus. ⁵ And when they heard that, they were baptised to the name of the Lord Jesus.

¹⁶ And now why lingerest thou? Arise and get baptised, and have thy sins washed away, calling on his name.

²⁶ Claudius Lysias to the most excellent governor Felix, greeting.

²⁷ But when two years were completed, Felix was relieved by Porcius Festus as his successor; and Felix, desirous to oblige the Jews, to acquire their favour, left Paul bound.

²⁰ but have, first to those both in Damascus and Jerusalem, and to all the region of Judaea, and to the nations, announced that they should repent and turn to God, doing works worthy of repentance.

³⁰ And the king stood up, and the governor and Bernice, and those who sat with them,

¹⁶ Therefore [it is] on the principle of faith, that [it might be] according to grace, in order to the promise being sure to all the seed, not to that only which [is] of the law, but to that also which [is] of Abraham`s faith, who is father of us all,

⁷ nor because they are seed of Abraham [are] all children: but, In Isaac shall a seed be called to thee.

¹² For there is no difference of Jew and Greek; for the same Lord of all [is] rich towards all that call upon him.

¹⁸ But I say, Have they not heard? Yea, surely, Their voice has gone out into all the earth, and their words to the extremities of the habitable world.

⁹ For, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not lust; and if there be any other commandment, it is summed up in this word, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. ¹⁰ Love works no ill to its neighbour; love therefore [is the] whole law.

¹⁰ nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor abusive persons, nor [the] rapacious, shall inherit [the] kingdom of God.

¹³ For also in [the power of] one Spirit *we* have all been baptised into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether bondmen or free, and have all been given to drink of one Spirit.

⁴⁵ Thus also it is written, The first man Adam became a living soul; the last Adam a quickening spirit.

⁴⁷ the first man out of [the] earth, made of dust; the second man, out of heaven.

¹⁰ For grief according to God works repentance to salvation, never to be regretted; but the grief of the world works death. ¹¹ For, behold, this same thing, your being grieved according to God, how much diligence it wrought in *you*, but [what] excusing [of yourselves], but [what] indignation, but [what] fear, but [what] ardent desire, but [what] zeal, but [what] vengeance: in every way ye have proved yourselves to be pure in the matter.

³ For according to [their] power, I bear witness, and beyond [their] power, [they were] willing of their own accord, ⁴ begging of us with much entreaty [to give effect to] the grace and fellowship of the service which [was to be rendered] to the saints. ⁵ And not according as we hoped, but they gave themselves first to the Lord, and to us by God`s will. ⁶ So that we begged Titus that, according as he had before begun, so he would also complete as to you this grace also; ⁷ but even as ye abound in every way, in faith, and word, and knowledge, and all diligence, and in love from you to us, that ye may abound in this grace also. ⁸ I do not speak as commanding [it], but through the zeal of others, and proving the genuineness of your love. ⁹ For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that for your sakes he, being rich, became poor, in order that *ye* by *his* poverty might be enriched. ¹⁰ And I give [my] opinion in this, for this is profitable for you who began before, not only to do, but also to be willing, a year ago. ¹¹ But now also complete the doing of it; so that as [there was] the readiness to be willing, so also to complete out of what ye have. ¹² For if the readiness be there, [a man is] accepted according to what he may have, not according to what he has not. ¹³ For [it is] not in order that there may be ease for others, and for you distress, ¹⁴ but [on the principle] of equality; in the present time your abundance for their lack, that their abundance may be for your lack, so that there should be equality.

²⁸ There is no Jew nor Greek; there is no bondman nor freeman; there is no male and female; for ye are all one in Christ Jesus: ²⁹ but if *ye* [are] of Christ, then ye are Abraham`s seed, heirs according to promise.

²² But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, fidelity, ²³ meekness, self-control: against such things there is no law. ²⁴ But they that [are] of the Christ have crucified the flesh with the passions and the lusts.

²⁸ Let the stealer steal no more, but rather let him toil, working what is honest with [his] hands, that he may have to distribute to him that has need.

¹¹ being complete as regards the fruit of righteousness, which [is] by Jesus Christ, to God`s glory and praise.

¹⁵ that ye may be harmless and simple, irreproachable children of God in the midst of a crooked and perverted generation; among whom ye appear as lights in [the] world,

¹¹ Not that I speak as regards privation, for as to me *I* have learnt in those circumstances in which I am, to be satisfied in myself.

¹³ who has delivered us from the authority of darkness, and translated [us] into the kingdom of the Son of his love:

¹⁰ and to await his Son from the heavens, whom he raised from among the dead, Jesus, our deliverer from the coming wrath.

¹⁵ who have both slain the Lord Jesus and the prophets, and have driven us out by persecution, and do not please God, and [are] against all men, ¹⁶ forbidding us to speak to the nations that they may be saved, that they may fill up their sins always: but wrath has come upon them to the uttermost.

⁸ But having sustenance and covering, we will be content with these. ⁹ But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and many unwise and hurtful lusts, which plunge men into destruction and ruin. ¹⁰ For the love of money is [the] root of every evil; which some having aspired after, have wandered from the faith, and pierced themselves with many sorrows.

¹⁸ to do good, to be rich in good works, to be liberal in distributing, disposed to communicate [of their substance],

³ that the elder women in like manner be in deportment as becoming those who have to say to sacred things, not slanderers, not enslaved to much wine, teachers of what is right;

¹¹ For the grace of God which carries with it salvation for all men has appeared, ¹² teaching us that, having denied impiety and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, and justly, and piously in the present course of things,

⁷ For ground which drinks the rain which comes often upon it, and produces useful herbs for those for whose sakes also it is tilled, partakes of blessing from God; ⁸ but bringing forth thorns and briars, it is found worthless and nigh to a curse, whose end [is] to be burned.

¹⁰ For God [is] not unrighteous to forget your work, and the love which ye have shewn to his name, having ministered to the saints, and [still] ministering.

¹⁸ that by two unchangeable things, in which [it was] impossible that God should lie, we might have a strong encouragement, who have fled for refuge to lay hold on the hope set before us,

²⁸ Any one that has disregarded Moses` law dies without mercy on [the testimony of] two or three witnesses:

⁷ By faith, Noah, oracularly warned concerning things not yet seen, moved with fear, prepared an ark for the saving of his house; by which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which [is] according to faith.

¹ Let *us* also therefore, having so great a cloud of witnesses surrounding us, laying aside every weight, and sin which so easily entangles us, run with endurance the race that lies before us,

¹² Wherefore lift up the hands that hang down, and the failing knees; ¹³ and make straight paths for your feet, that that which is lame be not turned aside; but that rather it may be healed.

²⁹ For also our God [is] a consuming fire.

⁵ [Let your] conversation [be] without love of money, satisfied with [your] present circumstances; for *he* has said, I will not leave thee, neither will I forsake thee. ⁶ So that, taking courage, we may say, The Lord [is] my helper, and I will not be afraid: what will man do unto me?

⁹ But let the brother of low degree glory in his elevation,

²⁷ Pure and undefiled religion before God and the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, to keep oneself unspotted from the world.

¹⁵ Now if a brother or a sister is naked and destitute of daily food, ¹⁶ and one from amongst you say to them, Go in peace, be warmed and filled; but give not to them the needful things for the body, what [is] the profit? ¹⁷ So also faith, if it have not works, is dead by itself. ¹⁸ But some one will say, *Thou* hast faith and *I* have works. Shew me thy faith without works, and *I* from my works will shew thee my faith. ¹⁹ *Thou* believest that God is one. Thou doest well. The demons even believe, and tremble. ²⁰ But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead? ²¹ Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar? ²² Thou seest that faith wrought with his works, and that by works faith was perfected. ²³ And the scripture was fulfilled which says, Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him as righteousness, and he was called Friend of God. ²⁴ Ye see that a man is justified on the principle of works, and not on the principle of faith only. ²⁵ But was not in like manner also Rahab the harlot justified on the principle of works, when she had received the messengers and put [them] forth by another way? ²⁶ For as the body without a spirit is dead, so also faith without works is dead.

⁴ To whom coming, a living stone, cast away indeed as worthless by men, but with God chosen, precious,

²⁰ heretofore disobedient, when the longsuffering of God waited in [the] days of Noah while the ark was preparing, into which few, that is, eight souls, were saved through water:

¹⁷ For he received from God [the] Father honour and glory, such a voice being uttered to him by the excellent glory: This is my beloved Son, in whom *I* have found my delight; ¹⁸ and this voice *we* heard uttered from heaven, being with him on the holy mountain.

⁵ and spared not [the] old world, but preserved Noe, [the] eighth, a preacher of righteousness, having brought in [the] flood upon [the] world of [the] ungodly;

⁸ He that practises sin is of the devil; for from [the] beginning the devil sins. To this end the Son of God has been manifested, that he might undo the works of the devil.

¹⁷ But whoso may have the world`s substance, and see his brother having need, and shut up his bowels from him, how abides the love of God in him?

²⁰ If any one say, I love God, and hate his brother, he is a liar: for he that loves not his brother whom he has seen, how can he love God whom he has not seen?

¹⁰ And I heard a great voice in the heaven saying, Now is come the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Christ; for the accuser of our brethren has been cast out, who accused them before our God day and night:

⁶ for they have poured out the blood of saints and prophets, and thou hast given them blood to drink; they are worthy.
