⁶ And his body was like the chrysolite, and his face as the appearance of lightning, and his eyes as a burning lamp: and his arms, and all downward even to the feet, like in appearance to glittering brass: and the voice of his word like the voice of a multitude. ⁷ And I, Daniel alone, saw the vision: for the men that were with me saw it not: but an exceeding great terror fell upon them, and they fled away, and hid themselves. ⁸ And I, being left alone, saw this great vision: and there remained no strength in me, and the appearance of my countenance was changed in me, and I fainted away, and retained no strength. ⁹ And I heard the voice of his words: and when I heard I lay in a consternation upon my face, and my face was close to the ground. ¹⁰ And behold a hand touched me, and lifted me up upon my knees, and upon the joints of my hands. ¹¹ And he said to me: Daniel, thou man of desires, understand the words that I speak to thee, and stand upright: for I am sent now to thee. And when he had said this word to me, I stood trembling. ¹² And he said to me: Fear not, Daniel: for from the first day that thou didst set thy heart to understand, to afflict thyself in the sight of thy God, thy words have been heard: and I am come for thy words.

⁵ And in that day I will break in pieces the bow of Israel in the valley of Jezrahel. ⁶ And she conceived again, and bore a daughter, and he said to him: Call her name, Without mercy: for I will not add any more to have mercy on the house of Israel, but I will utterly forget them.

^{2 (2:3)} And he said: I cried out of my affliction to the Lord, and he heard me: I cried out of the belly of hell, and thou hast heard my voice. ^{3 (2:4)} And thou hast cast me forth into the deep, in the heart of the sea, and a flood hast compassed me: all thy billows, and thy waves have passed over me. ^{4 (2:5)} And I said: I am cast away out of the sight of thy eyes: but yet I shall see the holy temple again. ^{5 (2:6)} The waters compassed me about even to the soul: the deep hath closed me round about, the sea hath covered my head. ^{6 (2:7)} I went down to the lowest parts of the mountains: the bars of the earth have shut me up for ever: and thou wilt bring up my life from corruption, O Lord, my God. ^{7 (2:8)} When my soul was in distress within me, I remembered the Lord: that my prayer may come to thee, unto the holy temple.

⁶ You have sowed much, and brought in little: you have eaten, but have not had enough: you have drunk, but have not been filled with drink: you have clothed yourselves, but have not been warmed: and he that hath earned wages, put them into a bag with holes.

³ And the tempter coming said to him: If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread.

¹² And when Jesus had heard that John was delivered up, he retired into Galilee:

²³ And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom: and healing all manner of sickness and every infirmity, among the people. ²⁴ And his fame went throughout all Syria, and they presented to him all sick people that were taken with divers diseases and torments, and such as were possessed by devils, and lunatics, and those that had the palsy, and he cured them: ²⁵ And much people followed him from Galilee, and from Decapolis, and from Jerusalem, and from Judea, and from beyond the Jordan.

⁶ Blessed are they that hunger and thirst after justice: for they shall have their fill.

⁶ But thou when thou shalt pray, enter into thy chamber, and having shut the door, pray to thy Father in secret, and thy father who seeth in secret will repay thee.

³⁰ And if the grass of the field, which is to day, and to morrow is cast into the oven, God doth so clothe: how much more you, O ye of little faith?

²⁴ And behold a great tempest arose in the sea, so that the boat was covered with waves, but he was asleep.

²⁴ And behold a great tempest arose in the sea, so that the boat was covered with waves, but he was asleep. ²⁵ And they came to him, and awaked him, saying: Lord, save us, we perish. ²⁶ And Jesus saith to them: Why are you fearful, O ye of little faith? Then rising up, he commanded the winds, and the sea, and there came a great calm.

² And behold they brought to him one sick of the palsy lying in a bed. And Jesus, seeing their faith, said to the man sick of the palsy: Be of good heart, son, thy sins are forgiven thee.

²⁰ And behold a woman who was troubled with an issue of blood twelve years, came behind him, and touched the hem of his garment. ²¹ For she said within herself: If I shall touch only his garment, I shall be healed.

³⁶ And seeing the multitudes, he had compassion on them: because they were distressed, and lying like sheep that have no shepherd.

²³ And when they shall persecute you in this city, flee into another. Amen I say to you, you shall not finish all the cities of Israel, till the Son of man come.

² Now when John had heard in prison the works of Christ: sending two of his disciples he said to him:

⁹ But what went you out to see? A prophet? Yea I tell you, and more than a prophet.

¹¹ Amen I say to you, there hath not risen among them that are born of women a greater than John the Baptist: yet he that is the lesser in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.

¹⁵ But Jesus knowing it, retired from thence: and many followed him, and he healed them all.

³⁶ Then having sent away the multitudes, he came into the house, and his disciples came to him, saying: Expound to us the parable of the cockle of the field.

¹ At that time Herod the Tetrarch heard the fame of Jesus.

¹ At that time Herod the Tetrarch heard the fame of Jesus. ² And he said to his servants: This is John the Baptist: he is risen from the dead, and therefore mighty works shew forth themselves in him.

⁵ And having a mind to put him to death, he feared the people: because they esteemed him as a prophet.

²³ Who answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying: Send her away, for she crieth after us:

²⁵ But she came and adored him, saying: Lord, help me.

³² And Jesus called together his disciples, and said: I have compassion on the multitudes, because they continue with me now three days, and have not what to eat, and I will not send them away fasting, lest they faint in the way.

³² And Jesus called together his disciples, and said: I have compassion on the multitudes, because they continue with me now three days, and have not what to eat, and I will not send them away fasting, lest they faint in the way. ³³ And the disciples say unto him: Whence then should we have so many loaves in the desert, as to fill so great a multitude?

³³ And the disciples say unto him: Whence then should we have so many loaves in the desert, as to fill so great a multitude?

³³ And the disciples say unto him: Whence then should we have so many loaves in the desert, as to fill so great a multitude?

³³ And the disciples say unto him: Whence then should we have so many loaves in the desert, as to fill so great a multitude? ³⁴ And Jesus said to them: How many loaves have you? But they said: Seven, and a few little fishes.

³⁴ And Jesus said to them: How many loaves have you? But they said: Seven, and a few little fishes.

³⁴ And Jesus said to them: How many loaves have you? But they said: Seven, and a few little fishes. ³⁵ And he commanded the multitude to sit down upon the ground.

³⁵ And he commanded the multitude to sit down upon the ground.

³⁵ And he commanded the multitude to sit down upon the ground. ³⁶ And taking the seven loaves and the fishes, and giving thanks, he brake, and gave to his disciples, and the disciples gave to the people.

³⁶ And taking the seven loaves and the fishes, and giving thanks, he brake, and gave to his disciples, and the disciples gave to the people.

³⁷ And they did all eat, and had their fill. And they took up seven baskets full, of what remained of the fragments. ³⁸ And they that did eat, were four thousand men, beside children and women.

³⁹ And having dismissed the multitude, he went up into a boat, and came into the coasts of Magedan.

⁸ And Jesus knowing it, said: Why do you think within yourselves, O ye of little faith, for that you have no bread?

⁸ And Jesus knowing it, said: Why do you think within yourselves, O ye of little faith, for that you have no bread? ⁹ Do you not yet understand, neither do you remember the five loaves among five thousand men, and how many baskets you took up?

⁹ Do you not yet understand, neither do you remember the five loaves among five thousand men, and how many baskets you took up? ¹⁰ Nor the seven loaves, among four thousand men, and how many baskets you took up?

¹⁴ But they said: Some John the Baptist, and other some Elias, and others Jeremias, or one of the prophets.

¹⁶ Simon Peter answered and said: Thou art Christ, the Son of the living God.

⁵ And as he was yet speaking, behold a bright cloud overshadowed them. And lo a voice out of the cloud, saying: This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased: hear ye him.

⁷ And Jesus came and touched them: and said to them: Arise, and fear not.

¹² But I say to you, that Elias is already come, and they knew him not, But have done unto him whatsoever they had a mind. So also the Son of man shall suffer from them.

^{20 (17:19)} Jesus said to them: Because of your unbelief. For, amen I say to you, if you have faith as a grain of mustard seed, you shall say to this mountain: Remove from hence hither, and it shall remove: and nothing shall be impossible to you.

²⁷ Then Peter answering, said to him: Behold we have left all things, and have followed thee: what therefore shall we have?

²¹ And Jesus answering, said to them: Amen, I say to you, if you shall have faith and stagger not, not only this of the fig tree shall you do, but also if you shall say to this mountain, Take up and cast thyself into the sea, it shall be done.

²⁶ If we shall say, from heaven, he will say to us: Why then did you not believe him? But if we shall say, from men, we are afraid of the multitude: for all held John as a prophet.

³² For John came to you in the way of justice: and you did not believe him. But the publicans and the harlots believed him: but you, seeing it, did not even afterwards repent, that you might believe him.

³⁵ And the husbandmen laying hands on his servants, beat one and killed another and stoned another. ³⁶ Again he sent other servants, more than the former; and they did to them in like manner.

³ And he sent his servants to call them that were invited to the marriage: and they would not come. ⁴ Again he sent other servants, saying: Tell them that were invited, Behold, I have prepared my dinner: my beeves and fatlings are killed, and all things are ready. Come ye to the marriage. ⁵ But they neglected and went their ways, one to his farm and another to his merchandise. ⁶ And the rest laid hands on his servants and, having treated them contumeliously, put them to death.

²⁴ Saying: Master, Moses said: If a man die having no son, his brother shall marry his wife and raise up issue to his brother.

⁵ And all their works they do for to be seen of men. For they make their phylacteries broad and enlarge their fringes.

³⁴ Therefore behold I send to you prophets and wise men and scribes: and some of them you will put to death and crucify: and some you will scourge in your synagogues and persecute from city to city. ³⁵ That upon you may come all the just blood that hath been shed upon the earth, from the blood of Abel the just, even unto the blood of Zacharias the son of Barachias, whom you killed between the temple and the altar. ³⁶ Amen I say to you, all these things shall come upon this generation.

⁴³ But this know ye, that, if the goodman of the house knew at what hour the thief would come, he would certainly watch and would not suffer his house to be broken open.

²⁶ And whilst they were at supper, Jesus took bread and blessed and broke and gave to his disciples and said: Take ye and eat. This is my body. ²⁷ And taking the chalice, he gave thanks and gave to them, saying: Drink ye all of this.

³³ And Peter answering, said to him: Although all shall be scandalized in thee, I will never be scandalized. ³⁴ Jesus said to him: Amen I say to thee that in this night before the cock crow, thou wilt deny me thrice. ³⁵ Peter saith to him: Yea, though I should die with thee, I will not deny thee. And in like manner said all the disciples. ³⁶ Then Jesus came with them into a country place which is called Gethsemani. And he said to his disciples: Sit you here, till I go yonder and pray.

⁶³ But Jesus held his peace. And the high priest said to him: I adjure thee by the living God, that thou tell us if thou be the Christ the Son of God.

⁶⁹ But Peter sat without in the court. And there came to him a servant maid, saying: Thou also wast with Jesus the Galilean. ⁷⁰ But he denied before them all, saying: I know not what thou sayest. ⁷¹ And as he went out of the gate, another maid saw him; and she saith to them that were there: This man also was with Jesus of Nazareth. ⁷² And again he denied with an oath: I know not the man. ⁷³ And after a little while, they came that stood by and said to Peter: Surely thou also art one of them. For even thy speech doth discover thee. ⁷⁴ Then he began to curse and to swear that he knew not the man. And immediately the cock crew. ⁷⁵ And Peter remembered the word of Jesus which he had said: Before the cock crow, thou wilt deny me thrice. And going forth, he wept bitterly.

¹⁷ They therefore being gathered together, Pilate said: Whom will you that I release to You: Barabbas, or Jesus that is called Christ? ¹⁸ For he knew that for envy they had delivered him. ¹⁹ And as he was sitting in the place of judgment, his wife sent to him, saying: Have thou nothing to do with that just man; for I have suffered many things this day in a dream because of him. ²⁰ But the chief priests and ancients persuaded the people that they should ask Barabbas and make Jesus away. ²¹ And the governor answering, said to them: Whether will you of the two to be released unto you? But they said: Barabbas. ²² Pilate saith to them: What shall I do then with Jesus that is called Christ? They say all: Let him be crucified. ²³ The governor said to them: Why, what evil hath he done? But they cried out the more, saying: Let him be crucified. ²⁴ And Pilate seeing that he prevailed nothing, but that rather a tumult was made, taking water washed his hands before the people, saying: I am innocent of the blood of this just man. Look you to it. ²⁵ And the whole people answering, said: His blood be upon us and upon our children. ²⁶ Then he released to them Barabbas: and having scourged Jesus, delivered him unto them to be crucified.

⁴³ He trusted in God: let him now deliver him if he will have him. For he said: I am the Son of God.

⁵⁴ Now the centurion and they that were with him watching Jesus, having seen the earthquake and the things that were done, were sore afraid, saying: Indeed this was the Son of God.

⁵⁸ He went to Pilate and asked the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded that the body should be delivered. ⁵⁹ And Joseph taking the body wrapped it up in a clean linen cloth: ⁶⁰ And laid it in his own new monument, which he had hewed out in a rock. And he rolled a great stone to the door of the monument and went his way. ⁶¹ And there was there Mary Magdalen and the other Mary, sitting over against the sepulchre.

⁹ And behold, Jesus met them, saying: All hail. But they came up and took hold of his feet and adored him. ¹⁰ Then Jesus said to them: Fear not. Go, tell my brethren that they go into Galilee. There they shall see me.

¹⁷ And seeing him they adored: but some doubted.

¹ The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.

²⁸ And the fame of him was spread forthwith into all the country of Galilee. ²⁹ And immediately going out of the synagogue they came into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John. ³⁰ And Simon's wife's mother lay in a fit of a fever: and forthwith they tell him of her. ³¹ And coming to her, he lifted her up, taking her by the hand; and immediately the fever left her, and she ministered unto them.

³¹ And coming to her, he lifted her up, taking her by the hand; and immediately the fever left her, and she ministered unto them. ³² And when it was evening, after sunset, they brought to him all that were ill and that were possessed with devils. ³³ And all the city was gathered together at the door. ³⁴ And he healed many that were troubled with divers diseases. And he cast out many devils: and he suffered them not to speak, because they knew him.

⁴¹ And Jesus, having compassion on him, stretched forth his hand and touching him saith to him: I will. Be thou made clean.

¹ And again he entered into Capharnaum after some days. ² And it was heard that he was in the house. And many came together, so that there was no room: no, not even at the door. And he spoke to them the word. ³ And they came to him, bringing one sick of the palsy, who was carried by four. ⁴ And when they could not offer him unto him for the multitude, they uncovered the roof where he was: and opening it, they let down the bed wherein the man sick of the palsy lay. ⁵ And when Jesus had seen their faith, he saith to the sick of the palsy: Son, thy sins are forgiven thee. ⁶ And there were some of the scribes sitting there and thinking in their hearts: ⁷ Why doth this man speak thus? He blasphemeth. Who can forgive sins, but God only? ⁸ Which Jesus presently knowing in his spirit that they so thought within themselves, saith to them: Why think you these things in your hearts? ⁹ Which is easier, to say to the sick of the palsy: Thy sins are forgiven thee; or to say: Arise, take up thy bed and walk? ¹⁰ But that you may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins (he saith to the sick of the palsy): ¹¹ I say to thee: Arise. Take up thy bed and go into thy house. ¹² And immediately he arose and, taking up his bed, went his way in the sight of all: so that all wondered and glorified God, saying: We never saw the like.

⁸ And from Jerusalem, and from Idumea and from beyond the Jordan. And they about Tyre and Sidon, a great multitude, hearing the things which he did, came to him. ⁹ And he spoke to his disciples that a small ship should wait on him, because of the multitude, lest they should throng him. ¹⁰ For he healed many, so that they pressed upon him for to touch him, as many as had evils.

¹⁰ For he healed many, so that they pressed upon him for to touch him, as many as had evils.

^{41 (4:40)} And they feared exceedingly: and they said one to another: Who is this (thinkest thou) that both wind and sea obey him?

⁴¹ And taking the damsel by the hand, he saith to her: Talitha cumi, which is, being interpreted: Damsel (I say to thee) arise.

¹⁴ And king Herod heard, (for his name was made manifest,) and he said: John the Baptist is risen again from dead, and therefore mighty works shew forth themselves in him.

¹⁴ And king Herod heard, (for his name was made manifest,) and he said: John the Baptist is risen again from dead, and therefore mighty works shew forth themselves in him. ¹⁵ And others said: It is Elias. But others said: It is a prophet, as one of the prophets. ¹⁶ Which Herod hearing, said: John whom I beheaded, he is risen again from the dead. ¹⁷ For Herod himself had sent and apprehended John, and bound him prison for the sake of Herodias the wife of Philip his brother, because he had married her.

¹⁷ For Herod himself had sent and apprehended John, and bound him prison for the sake 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 thy brother's wife.

¹⁹ Now Herodias laid snares for him: and was desirous to put him to death and could not.

²¹ And when a convenient day was come, Herod made a supper for his birthday, for the princes, and tribunes, and chief men of Galilee. ²² And when the daughter of the same Herodias had come in, and had danced, and pleased Herod, and them that were at table with him, the king said to the damsel: Ask of me what thou wilt, and I will give it thee.

²² And when the daughter of the same Herodias had come in, and had danced, and pleased Herod, and them that were at table with him, the king said to the damsel: Ask of me what thou wilt, and I will give it thee.

²² And when the daughter of the same Herodias had come in, and had danced, and pleased Herod, and them that were at table with him, the king said to the damsel: Ask of me what thou wilt, and I will give it thee. ²³ And he swore to her: Whatsoever thou shalt ask I will give thee, though it be the half of my kingdom.

²³ And he swore to her: Whatsoever thou shalt ask I will give thee, though it be the half of my kingdom. ²⁴ Who when she was gone out, said to her mother, What shall I ask? But her mother said: The head of John the Baptist.

²⁴ Who when she was gone out, said to her mother, What shall I ask? But her mother said: The head of John the Baptist. ²⁵ And when she was come in immediately with haste to the king, she asked, saying: I will that forthwith thou give me in a dish, the head of John the Baptist. ²⁶ And the king was struck sad. Yet because of his oath, and because of them that were with him at table, he would not displease her:

²⁶ And the king was struck sad. Yet because of his oath, and because of them that were with him at table, he would not displease her: ²⁷ But sending an executioner, he commanded that his head should be brought in a dish. ²⁸ And he beheaded him in the prison, and brought his head in a dish: and gave to the damsel, and the damsel gave it her mother. ²⁹ Which his disciples hearing came, and took his body, and laid it in a tomb. ³⁰ And the apostles coming together unto Jesus, related to him all things that they had done and taught. ³¹ And he said to them: Come apart into a desert place, and rest a little. For there were many coming and going: and they had not so much as time to eat. ³² And going up into a ship, they went into a desert place apart. ³³ And they saw them going away, and many knew: and they ran flocking thither foot from all the cities, and were there before them. ³⁴ And Jesus going out saw a great multitude: and he had compassion on them, because they were as sheep not having a shepherd, and he began to teach them many things.

³⁴ And Jesus going out saw a great multitude: and he had compassion on them, because they were as sheep not having a shepherd, and he began to teach them many things. ³⁵ And when the day was now far spent, his disciples came to him, saying: This is a desert place, and the hour is now past:

³⁵ And when the day was now far spent, his disciples came to him, saying: This is a desert place, and the hour is now past: ³⁶ Send them away, that going into the next villages and towns, they may buy themselves meat to eat.

³⁶ Send them away, that going into the next villages and towns, they may buy themselves meat to eat. ³⁷ And he answering said to them: Give you them to eat. And they said to him: Let us go and buy bread for two hundred pence, and we will give them to eat.

³⁷ And he answering said to them: Give you them to eat. And they said to him: Let us go and buy bread for two hundred pence, and we will give them to eat. ³⁸ And he saith to them: How many loaves have you? go and see. And when they knew, they say: Five, and two fishes.

³⁹ And he commanded them that they should make them all sit down by companies upon the green grass. ⁴⁰ And they sat down in ranks, by hundreds and by fifties. ⁴¹ And when he had taken the five loaves, and the two fishes: looking up to heaven, he blessed, and broke the loaves, and gave to his disciples to set before them: and the two fishes he divided among them all.

⁴¹ And when he had taken the five loaves, and the two fishes: looking up to heaven, he blessed, and broke the loaves, and gave to his disciples to set before them: and the two fishes he divided among them all. ⁴² And they all did eat, and had their fill. ⁴³ And they took up the leavings, twelve full baskets of fragments, and of the fishes. ⁴⁴ And they that did eat, were five thousand men. ⁴⁵ And immediately he obliged his disciples to go up into the ship, that they might go before him over the water to Bethsaida, whilst he dismissed the people. ⁴⁶ And when he had dismissed them, he went up to the mountain to pray,

⁴⁶ And when he had dismissed them, he went up to the mountain to pray, ⁴⁷ And when it was late, the ship was in the midst of the sea, and himself alone on the land. ⁴⁸ And seeing them labouring in rowing, (for the wind was against them,) and about the fourth watch of the night, he cometh to them walking upon the sea, and he would have passed by them.

⁴⁸ And seeing them labouring in rowing, (for the wind was against them,) and about the fourth watch of the night, he cometh to them walking upon the sea, and he would have passed by them. ⁴⁹ But they seeing him walking upon the sea, thought it was an apparition, and they cried out.

⁴⁹ But they seeing him walking upon the sea, thought it was an apparition, and they cried out. ⁵⁰ For they all saw him, and were troubled bled. And immediately he spoke with them, and said to them: Have a good heart, it is I, fear ye not.

⁵⁰ For they all saw him, and were troubled bled. And immediately he spoke with them, and said to them: Have a good heart, it is I, fear ye not. ⁵¹ And he went up to them into the ship, and the wind ceased: and they were far more astonished within themselves:

⁵³ And when they had passed over, they came into the land of Genezareth, and set to the shore. ⁵⁴ And when they were gone out of the ship, immediately they knew him: ⁵⁵ And running through that whole country, they began to carry about in beds those that were sick, where they heard he was.

⁵⁵ And running through that whole country, they began to carry about in beds those that were sick, where they heard he was. ⁵⁶ And whithersoever he entered, into towns or into villages or cities, they laid the sick in the streets, and besought him that they might touch but the hem of his garment: and as many as touched him were made whole.

³⁴ And looking up to heaven, he groaned and said to him: Ephpheta, which is, Be thou opened.

¹ In those days again, when there was great multitude and they had nothing to eat; calling his disciples together, he saith to them: ² I have compassion on the multitude, for behold they have now been with me three days and have nothing to eat. ³ And if I shall send them away fasting to their home, they will faint in the way: for some of them came from afar off. ⁴ And his disciples answered him: From whence can any one fill them here with bread in the wilderness? ⁵ And he asked them: How many loaves have ye? Who said: Seven. ⁶ And he commanded the people to sit down on the ground. And taking the seven loaves, giving thanks, he broke and gave to his disciples for to set before them. And they set them before the people. ⁷ And they had a few little fishes: and he blessed them and commanded them to be set before them. ⁸ And they did eat and were filled: and they took up that which was left of the fragments, seven baskets. ⁹ And they that had eaten were about four thousand. And he sent them away.

¹⁵ And he charged them saying: Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the leaven of Herod. ¹⁶ And they reasoned among themselves, saying: Because we have no bread. ¹⁷ Which Jesus knowing, saith to them: Why do you reason, because you have no bread? Do you not yet know nor understand? Have you still your heart blinded? ¹⁸ Having eyes, see you not? And having ears, hear you not? Neither do you remember? ¹⁹ When I broke the five loves among five thousand, how many baskets full of fragments took you up? They say to him: Twelve. ²⁰ When also the seven loaves among four thousand, how many baskets of fragments took you up? And they say to him: Seven. ²¹ And he said to them: How do you not yet understand?

²⁸ Who answered him, saying: John the Baptist; but some Elias, and others as one of the prophets.

^{13 (9:12)} But I say to you that Elias also is come (and they have done to him whatsoever they would), as it is written of him.

^{22 (9:21)} And oftentimes hath he cast him into the fire and into the waters to destroy him. But if thou canst do any thing, help us, having compassion on us. ^{23 (9:22)} And Jesus saith to him: If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.

²² And Jesus answering, saith to them: Have the faith of God. ²³ Amen I say to you that whosoever shall say to this mountain, Be thou removed and be cast into the sea, and shall not stagger in his heart, but be believe that whatsoever he saith shall be done; it shall be done unto him.

²³ Amen I say to you that whosoever shall say to this mountain, Be thou removed and be cast into the sea, and shall not stagger in his heart, but be believe that whatsoever he saith shall be done; it shall be done unto him.

³⁰ The baptism of John, was it from heaven or from men? Answer me. ³¹ But they thought with themselves, saying: If we say, From heaven; he will say, Why then did you not believe him? ³² If we say, From men, we fear the people. For all men counted John that he was a prophet indeed.

¹ Now the feast of the pasch and of the Azymes was after two days: and the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might by some wile lay hold on him and kill him. ² But they said: Not on the festival day, lest there should be a tumult among the people.

²² And whilst they were eating, Jesus took bread; and blessing, broke and gave to them and said: Take ye. This is my body. ²³ And having taken the chalice, giving thanks, he gave it to them. And they all drank of it.

³¹ But he spoke the more vehemently: Although I should die together with thee, I will not deny thee. And in like manner also said they all.

³⁸ Watch ye: and pray that you enter not into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.

⁶¹ But he held his peace and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked him and said to him: Art thou the Christ, the Son of the Blessed God?

⁶⁶ Now when Peter was in the court below, there cometh one of the maidservants of the high priest. ⁶⁷ And when she had seen Peter warming himself looking on him, she saith: Thou also wast with Jesus of Nazareth. ⁶⁸ But he denied, saying: I neither know nor understand what thou sayest. And he went forth before the court; and the cock crew. ⁶⁹ And again a maidservant seeing him, began to say to the standers by: This is one of them. ⁷⁰ But he denied again. And after a, while they that stood by said again to Peter: Surely thou art one of them; for thou art also a Galilean. ⁷¹ But he began o curse and to swear, saying: I know not this man of whom you speak. ⁷² And immediately the cock crew again. And Peter remembered the word that Jesus had said unto him: Before the cock crow twice, thou shalt thrice deny me. And he began to weep,

³⁹ And the centurion who stood over against him, seeing that crying out in this manner he had given up the ghost. said: Indeed this man was the son of God.

⁷ But go, tell his disciples and Peter that he goeth before you into Galilee. There you shall see him, as he told you.

¹¹ And there appeared to him an angel of the Lord, standing on the right side of the altar of incense. ¹² And Zachary seeing him, was troubled: and fear fell upon him. ¹³ But the angel said to him: Fear not, Zachary, for thy prayer is heard: and thy wife Elizabeth shall bear thee a son. And thou shalt call his name John.

³⁰ And the angel said to her: Fear not, Mary, for thou hast found grace with God.

⁵³ He hath filled the hungry with good things: and the rich he hath sent empty away.

¹⁰ And the angel said to them: Fear not; for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy that shall be to all the people:

¹ Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judea, and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and Philip his brother tetrarch of Iturea and the country of Trachonitis, and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilina:

¹¹ And he answering, said to them: He that hath two coats, let him give to him that hath none; and he that hath meat, let him do in like manner.

¹⁹ But Herod the tetrarch, when he was reproved by him for Herodias, his brother's wife, and for all the evils which Herod had done:

¹⁹ But Herod the tetrarch, when he was reproved by him for Herodias, his brother's wife, and for all the evils which Herod had done: ²⁰ He added this also above all and shut up John in prison.

⁴¹ And devils went out from many, crying out and saying: Thou art the son of God. And rebuking them he suffered them not to speak; for they knew that he was Christ.

¹ And it came to pass, that when the multitudes pressed upon him to hear the word of God, he stood by the lake of Genesareth,

¹² And it came to pass in those days, that he went out into a mountain to pray: and he passed the whole night in the prayer of God.

¹⁹ And all the multitude sought to touch him: for virtue went out from him and healed all.

¹³ Whom when the Lord had seen, being moved with mercy towards her, he said to her: Weep not.

²⁸ And when he saw Jesus, he fell down before him. And crying out with a loud voice, he said: What have I to do with thee, Jesus, Son of the most high God? I beseech thee, do not torment me.

⁷ Now Herod, the tetrarch, heard of all things that were done by him. And he was in a doubt, because it was said ⁸ By some that John was risen from the dead: but by other some, that Elias had appeared: and by others, that one of the old prophets was risen again. ⁹ And Herod said: John I have beheaded. But who is this of whom I hear such things? And he sought to see him.

⁹ And Herod said: John I have beheaded. But who is this of whom I hear such things? And he sought to see him. ¹⁰ And the apostles, when they were returned, told him all they had done. And taking them, he went aside into a desert place, apart, which belongeth to Bethsaida. ¹¹ Which when the people knew, they followed him: and he received them and spoke to them of the kingdom of God and healed them who had need of healing. ¹² Now the day began to decline. And the twelve came and said to him: Send away the multitude, that, going into the towns and villages round about, they may lodge and get victuals; for we are here in a desert place.

¹² Now the day began to decline. And the twelve came and said to him: Send away the multitude, that, going into the towns and villages round about, they may lodge and get victuals; for we are here in a desert place. ¹³ But he said to them: Give you them to eat. And they said: We have no more than five loaves and two fishes; unless perhaps, we should go and buy food for all this multitude.

¹³ But he said to them: Give you them to eat. And they said: We have no more than five loaves and two fishes; unless perhaps, we should go and buy food for all this multitude. ¹⁴ Now there were about five thousand men. And he said to his disciples: Make them sit down by fifties in a company.

¹⁴ Now there were about five thousand men. And he said to his disciples: Make them sit down by fifties in a company. ¹⁵ And they did so and made them all sit down. ¹⁶ And taking the five loaves and the two fishes, he looked up to heaven and blessed them: and he broke and distributed to his disciples, to set before the multitude.

¹⁶ And taking the five loaves and the two fishes, he looked up to heaven and blessed them: and he broke and distributed to his disciples, to set before the multitude. ¹⁷ And they did all eat and were filled. And there were taken up of fragments that remained to them, twelve baskets.

¹⁷ And they did all eat and were filled. And there were taken up of fragments that remained to them, twelve baskets.

²⁸ And it came to pass, about eight days after these words, that he took Peter and James and John and went up into a mountain to pray.

³⁸ And if he shall come in the second watch or come in the third watch and find them so, blessed are those servants.

¹ And there were present, at that very time, some that told him of the Galileans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices.

³¹ The same day, there came some of the Pharisees, saying to him: Depart, and get thee hence, for Herod hath a mind to kill thee. ³² And he said to them: Go and tell that fox: Behold, I cast out devils and do cures, to-day and to-morrow, and the third day I am consummated.

³² And he said to them: Go and tell that fox: Behold, I cast out devils and do cures, to-day and to-morrow, and the third day I am consummated.

⁶ And the Lord said: If you had faith like to a grain of mustard seed, you might say to this mulberry tree: Be thou rooted up and be thou transplanted into the sea. And it would obey you.

⁴¹ And when he drew near, seeing the city, he wept over it, saying:

⁶ But if we say, of men: the whole people will stone us. For they are persuaded that John was a prophet.

¹⁹ And taking bread, he gave thanks and brake and gave to them, saying: This is my body, which is given for you. Do this for a commemoration of me.

³¹ And the Lord said: Simon, Simon, behold Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat.

³¹ And the Lord said: Simon, Simon, behold Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat. ³² But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and thou, being once converted, confirm thy brethren.

³² But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and thou, being once converted, confirm thy brethren. ³³ Who said to him: Lord, I am ready to go with thee, both into prison and to death. ³⁴ And he said: I say to thee, Peter, the cock shall not crow this day, till thou thrice deniest that thou knowest me. And he said to them:

⁴⁹ And they that were about him, seeing what would follow, said to him: Lord, shall we strike with the sword? ⁵⁰ And one of them struck the servant of the high priest and cut off his right ear.

⁵⁴ And apprehending him, they led him to the high priest's house. But Peter followed afar off. ⁵⁵ And when they had kindled a fire in the midst of the hall and were sitting about it, Peter was in the midst of them. ⁵⁶ Whom when a certain servant maid had seen sitting at the light and had earnestly beheld him, she said: This man also was with him. ⁵⁷ But he denied him, saying: Woman, I know him not. ⁵⁸ And after a little while, another seeing him, said: Thou also art one of them. But Peter said: O man, I am not. ⁵⁹ And after the space, as it were of one hour, another certain man affirmed, saying: Of a truth, this man was also with him: for he is also a Galilean. ⁶⁰ And Peter said: Man, I know not what thou sayest. And immediately, as he was yet speaking, the cock crew. ⁶¹ And the Lord turning looked on Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, as he had said: Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny thrice.

⁷ And when he understood that he was of Herod's jurisdiction, he sent him away to Herod, who was also himself at Jerusalem in those days. ⁸ And Herod seeing Jesus, was very glad: for he was desirous of a long time to see him, because he had heard many things of him; and he hoped to see some sign wrought by him. ⁹ And he questioned him in many words. But he answered him nothing. ¹⁰ And the chief priests and the scribes stood by, earnestly accusing him. ¹¹ And Herod with his army set him at nought and mocked him, putting on him a white garment: and sent him back to Pilate. ¹² And Herod and Pilate were made friends, that same day: for before they were enemies one to another.

¹⁵ No, nor Herod neither. For, I sent you to him: and behold, nothing worthy of death is done to him.

⁵ And as they were afraid and bowed down their countenance towards the ground, they said unto them: Why seek you the living with the dead?

³⁰ And it came to pass, whilst he was at table with them, he took bread and blessed and brake and gave to them.

³⁴ Saying: The Lord is risen indeed and hath appeared to Simon.

³⁷ But they being troubled and frightened, supposed that they saw a spirit. ³⁸ And he said to them: Why are you troubled, and why do thoughts arise in your hearts? ³⁹ See my hands and feet, that it is I myself. Handle, and see: for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as you see me to have.

⁴⁵ Then he opened their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures.

⁵² And they adoring went back into Jerusalem with great joy.

⁴⁹ Nathanael answered him and said: Rabbi: Thou art the Son of God. Thou art the King of Israel.

²³ And John also was baptizing in Ennon near Salim: because there was much water there. And they came and were baptized. ²⁴ For John was not yet cast into prison.

¹ After these things Jesus went over the sea of Galilee, which is that of Tiberias. ² And a great multitude followed him, because they saw the miracles which he did on them that were diseased. ³ Jesus therefore went up into a mountain: and there he sat with his disciples. ⁴ Now the pasch, the festival day of the Jews, was near at hand. ⁵ When Jesus therefore had lifted up his eyes and seen that a very great multitude cometh to him, he said to Philip: Whence shall we buy bread, that these may eat?

⁵ When Jesus therefore had lifted up his eyes and seen that a very great multitude cometh to him, he said to Philip: Whence shall we buy bread, that these may eat? ⁶ And this he said to try him: for he himself knew what he would do.

⁶ And this he said to try him: for he himself knew what he would do. ⁷ Philip answered him: Two hundred pennyworth of bread is not sufficient for them that every one may take a little.

⁷ Philip answered him: Two hundred pennyworth of bread is not sufficient for them that every one may take a little.

⁷ Philip answered him: Two hundred pennyworth of bread is not sufficient for them that every one may take a little. ⁸ One of his disciples, Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, saith to him:

⁸ One of his disciples, Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, saith to him: ⁹ There is a boy here that hath five barley loaves and two fishes. But what are these among so many?

⁹ There is a boy here that hath five barley loaves and two fishes. But what are these among so many? ¹⁰ Then Jesus said: Make the men sit down. Now, there was much grass in the place. The men therefore sat down, in number about five thousand.

¹⁰ Then Jesus said: Make the men sit down. Now, there was much grass in the place. The men therefore sat down, in number about five thousand.

¹⁰ Then Jesus said: Make the men sit down. Now, there was much grass in the place. The men therefore sat down, in number about five thousand. ¹¹ And Jesus took the loaves: and when he had given thanks, he distributed to them that were set down. In like manner also of the fishes, as much as they would.

¹¹ And Jesus took the loaves: and when he had given thanks, he distributed to them that were set down. In like manner also of the fishes, as much as they would.

¹¹ And Jesus took the loaves: and when he had given thanks, he distributed to them that were set down. In like manner also of the fishes, as much as they would. ¹² And when they were filled, he said to his disciples: gather up the fragments that remain, lest they be lost.

¹² And when they were filled, he said to his disciples: gather up the fragments that remain, lest they be lost. ¹³ They gathered up therefore and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves which remained over and above to them that had eaten.

¹³ They gathered up therefore and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves which remained over and above to them that had eaten. ¹⁴ Now those men, when they had seen what a miracle Jesus had done, said: This is of a truth the prophet that is to come into the world.

¹⁴ Now those men, when they had seen what a miracle Jesus had done, said: This is of a truth the prophet that is to come into the world. ¹⁵ Jesus therefore, when he knew that they would come to take him by force and make him king, fled again into the mountains, himself alone.

¹⁵ Jesus therefore, when he knew that they would come to take him by force and make him king, fled again into the mountains, himself alone.

¹⁵ Jesus therefore, when he knew that they would come to take him by force and make him king, fled again into the mountains, himself alone. ¹⁶ And when evening was come, his disciples went down to the sea.

¹⁶ And when evening was come, his disciples went down to the sea. ¹⁷ And when they had gone up into a ship, they went over the sea to Capharnaum. And it was now dark: and Jesus was not come unto them.

¹⁷ And when they had gone up into a ship, they went over the sea to Capharnaum. And it was now dark: and Jesus was not come unto them. ¹⁸ And the sea arose, by reason of a great wind that blew.

¹⁸ And the sea arose, by reason of a great wind that blew. ¹⁹ When they had rowed therefore about five and twenty or thirty furlongs, they see Jesus walking upon the sea and drawing nigh to the ship. And they were afraid.

¹⁹ When they had rowed therefore about five and twenty or thirty furlongs, they see Jesus walking upon the sea and drawing nigh to the ship. And they were afraid. ²⁰ But he saith to them: It is I. Be not afraid.

²⁰ But he saith to them: It is I. Be not afraid. ²¹ They were willing therefore to take him into the ship. And presently the ship was at the land to which they were going.

²¹ They were willing therefore to take him into the ship. And presently the ship was at the land to which they were going.

²³ But other ships came in from Tiberias, nigh unto the place where they had eaten the bread, the Lord giving thanks. ²⁴ When therefore the multitude saw that Jesus was not there, nor his disciples, they took shipping and came to Capharnaum, seeking for Jesus. ²⁵ And when they had found him on that other side of the sea, they said to him: Rabbi, when camest thou hither?

³⁷ All that the Father giveth to me shall come to me: and him that cometh to me, I will not cast out.

^{68 (6:69)} And Simon Peter answered him: Lord, to whom shall we go? Thou hast the words of eternal life. ^{69 (6:70)} And we have believed and have known that thou art the Christ, the Son of God.

²³ If a man receive circumcision on the sabbath day, that the law of Moses may not be broken: are you angry at me, because I have healed the whole man on the sabbath day?

³⁵ Jesus heard that they had cast him out. And when he had found him, he said to him: Dost thou believe in the Son of God? ³⁶ He answered, and said: Who is he, Lord, that I may believe in him? ³⁷ And Jesus said to him: Thou hast both seen him; and it is he that talketh with thee. ³⁸ And he said: I believe, Lord. And falling down, he adored him.

⁴¹ And many resorted to him: and they said: John indeed did no sign.

²⁷ She saith to him: Yea, Lord, I have believed that thou art Christ, the Son of the living God, who art come into this world.

³³ Jesus, therefore, when he saw her weeping, and the Jews that were come with her weeping, groaned in the spirit and troubled himself, ³⁴ And said: Where have you laid him? They say to him: Lord, come and see. ³⁵ And Jesus wept.

⁴¹ They took therefore the stone away. And Jesus lifting up his eyes, said: Father, I give thee thanks that thou hast heard me.

²⁹ For some thought, because Judas had the purse, that Jesus had said to him: Buy those things which we have need of for the festival day: or that he should give something to the poor.

³⁶ Simon Peter saith to him: Lord, whither goest thou? Jesus answered: Whither I go, thou canst not follow me now: but thou shalt follow hereafter. ³⁷ Peter saith to him: Why cannot I follow thee now? I will lay down my life for thee. ³⁸ Jesus answered him: Wilt thou lay down thy life for me? Amen, amen, I say to thee, the cock shall not crow, till thou deny me thrice.

¹ Let not your heart be troubled. You believe in God: believe also in me. ² In my Father's house there are many mansions. If not, I would have told you: because I go to prepare a place for you. ³ And if I shall go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself: that where I am, you also may be.

³³ These things I have spoken to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you shall have distress. But have confidence. I have overcome the world.

¹ These things Jesus spoke: and lifting up his eyes to heaven, he said: the hour is come. Glorify thy Son, that thy Son may glorify thee.

²⁵ And Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. They said therefore to him: Art not thou also one of his disciples? He denied it and said: I am not. ²⁶ One of the servants of the high priest (a kinsman to him whose ear Peter cut off) saith to him: Did not I see thee in the garden with him? ²⁷ Again therefore Peter denied: and immediately the cock crew.

⁷ The Jews answered him: We have a law; and according to the law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God.

¹² And from henceforth Pilate sought to release him. But the Jews cried out, saying: If thou release this man, thou art not Caesar's friend. For whosoever maketh himself a king speaketh against Caesar. ¹³ Now when Pilate had heard these words, he brought Jesus forth and sat down in the judgment seat, in the place that is called Lithostrotos, and in Hebrew Gabbatha. ¹⁴ And it was the parasceve of the pasch, about the sixth hour: and he saith to the Jews: Behold your king. ¹⁵ But they cried out: Away with him: Away with him: Crucify him. Pilate saith to them: shall I crucify your king? The chief priests answered: We have no king but Caesar. ¹⁶ Then therefore he delivered him to them to be crucified. And they took Jesus and led him forth.

¹⁶ And in the faith of his name, this man, whom you have seen and known, hath his name strengthened. And the faith which is by him hath given this perfect soundness in the sight of you all.

⁴ But many of them who had heard the word believed: and the number of the men was made five thousand.

⁹ If we this day are examined concerning the good deed done to the infirm man, by what means he hath been made whole: ¹⁰ Be it known to you all and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God hath raised from the dead, even by him, this man standeth here before you, whole.

¹⁴ Seeing the man also who had been healed, standing with them, they could say nothing against it. ¹⁵ But they commanded them to go aside out of the council: and they conferred among themselves, ¹⁶ Saying: What shall we do to these men? For indeed a miracle hath been done by them, known to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem. It is manifest: and we cannot deny it.

²¹ But they, threatening, sent them away, not finding how they might punish them, because of the people: for all men glorified what had been done, in that which had come to pass.

²⁷ For of a truth there assembled together in this city against thy holy child Jesus, whom thou hast anointed, Herod, and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and the people of Israel,

³⁰ By stretching forth thy hand to cures and signs and wonders, to be done by the name of thy holy Son, Jesus.

³⁴ For neither was there any one needy among them. For as many as were owners of lands or houses sold them and brought the price of the things they sold,

²⁶ Then went the officer with the ministers and brought them without violence: for they feared the people, lest they should be stoned.

⁴ But we will give ourselves continually to prayer and to the ministry of the word.

² And devout men took order for Stephen's funeral and made great mourning over him.

³⁶ And as they went on their way, they came to a certain water. And the eunuch said: See, here is water: What doth hinder me from being baptized?

¹ And at the same time, Herod the king stretched forth his hands, to afflict some of the church.

¹⁵ But they said to her: Thou art mad. But she affirmed that it was so. Then said they: It is his angel.

¹¹ And God wrought by the hand of Paul more than common miracles. ¹² So that even there were brought from his body to the sick, handkerchiefs and aprons: and the diseases departed from them: and the wicked spirits went out of them.

¹¹ And the night following, the Lord standing by him, said: Be constant: for as thou hast testified of me in Jerusalem, so must thou bear witness also at Rome.

²³ And he commanded a centurion to keep him: and that he should be easy and that he should not prohibit any of his friends to minister unto him. ²⁴ And after some days, Felix, coming with Drusilla his wife, who was a Jew, sent for Paul and heard of him the faith that is in Christ Jesus.

²⁴ And after some days, Felix, coming with Drusilla his wife, who was a Jew, sent for Paul and heard of him the faith that is in Christ Jesus. ²⁵ And as he treated of justice and chastity and of the judgment to come, Felix, being terrified, answered: For this time, go thy way: but when I have a convenient time, I will send for thee.

²⁵ And as he treated of justice and chastity and of the judgment to come, Felix, being terrified, answered: For this time, go thy way: but when I have a convenient time, I will send for thee. ²⁶ Hoping also withal that money should be given him by Paul: for which cause also oftentimes sending for him, he spoke with him. ²⁷ But when two years were ended, Felix had for successor Portius Festus. And Felix being willing to shew the Jews a pleasure, left Paul bound.

³ Requesting favour against him, that he would command him to be brought to Jerusalem, laying wait to kill him in the way. ⁴ But Festus answered: That Paul was kept in Caesarea: and that he himself would very shortly depart thither. ⁵ Let them, therefore, saith he, among you that are able, go down with me and accuse him, if there be any crime in the man. ⁶ And having tarried among them no more than eight or ten days, he went down to Caesarea. And the next day, he sat in the judgment seat and commanded Paul to be brought. ⁷ Who being brought, the Jews stood about him, who were come down from Jerusalem, objecting many and grievious causes, which they could not prove: ⁸ Paul making answer for himself: Neither against the law of the Jews, nor against the temple, nor against Caesar, have I offended in any thing. ⁹ But Festus, willing to shew the Jews a pleasure, answering Paul, said: Wilt thou go up to Jerusalem and there be judged of these things before me?

³⁵ And when he had said these things, taking bread, he gave thanks to God in the sight of them all. And when he had broken it, he began to eat.

⁴ Who was predestinated the Son of God in power, according to the spirit of sanctification, by the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ from the dead:

¹⁸ Who against hope believed in hope; that he might be made the father of many nations, according to that which was said to him: So shall thy seed be. ¹⁹ And he was not weak in faith. Neither did he consider his own body, now dead (whereas he was almost an hundred years old), nor the dead womb of Sara.

¹⁹ And he was not weak in faith. Neither did he consider his own body, now dead (whereas he was almost an hundred years old), nor the dead womb of Sara. ²⁰ In the promise also of God he staggered not by distrust: but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God:

³ For I say, by the grace that is given me, to all that are among you, not to be more wise than it behoveth to be wise, but to be wise unto sobriety and according as God hath divided to every one the measure of faith.

⁶ He that regardeth the day regardeth it unto the Lord. And he that eateth eateth to the Lord: for he giveth thanks to God. And he that eateth not, to the Lord he eateth not and giveth thanks to God.

¹⁶ The chalice of benediction which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? And the bread which we break, is it not the partaking of the body of the Lord?

³¹ Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatsoever else you do, do all to the glory of God.

²⁴ And giving thanks, broke and said: Take ye and eat: This is my body, which shall be delivered for you. This do for the commemoration of me.

² That in much experience of tribulation, they have had abundance of joy and their very deep poverty hath abounded unto the riches of their simplicity. ³ For according to their power (I bear them witness) and beyond their power, they were willing:

⁷ Every one as he hath determined in his heart, not with sadness or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver. ⁸ And God is able to make all grace abound in you: that ye always, having all sufficiently in all things, may abound to every good work,

⁸ And God is able to make all grace abound in you: that ye always, having all sufficiently in all things, may abound to every good work, ⁹ As it is written: He hath dispersed abroad, he hath given to the poor: his justice remaineth for ever. ¹⁰ And he that ministereth seed to the sower will both give you bread to eat and will multiply your seed and increase the growth of the fruits of your justice: ¹¹ That being enriched in all things, you may abound unto all simplicity which worketh through us thanksgiving to God.

⁷ And lest the greatness of the revelations should exalt me, there was given me a sting of my flesh, an angel of Satan, to buffet me. ⁸ For which thing, thrice I besought the Lord that it might depart from me. ⁹ And he said to me: My grace is sufficient for thee: for power is made perfect in infirmity. Gladly therefore will I glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may dwell in me. ¹⁰ For which cause I please myself in my infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ. For when I am weak, then am I powerful.

¹³ I can do all things in him who strengtheneth me.

¹⁹ And may my God supply all your want, according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.

¹⁷ All whatsoever you do in word or in work, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.

⁸ I will therefore that men pray in every place, lifting up pure hands, without anger and contention.

⁴ For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be rejected that is received with thanksgiving: ⁵ For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.

¹⁶ At my first answer, no man stood with me: but all forsook me. May it not be laid to their charge! ¹⁷ But the Lord stood by me and strengthened me, that by me the preaching may be accomplished and that all the Gentiles may hear. And I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion.

¹⁷ Wherefore, it behoved him in all things to be made like unto his brethren, that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest before God, that he might be a propitiation for the sins of the people.

¹⁵ For we have not a high priest who cannot have compassion on our infirmities: but one tempted in all things like as we are, without sin.

² Who can have compassion on them that are ignorant and that err: because he himself also is compassed with infirmity.

⁶ But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea, which is moved and carried about by the wind. ⁷ Therefore let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord. ⁸ A double minded man is inconstant in all his ways.

⁵ Who, by the power of God, are kept by faith unto salvation, ready to be revealed in the last time.

¹⁷ And when I had seen him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying: Fear not. I am the First and the Last,

¹⁷ And when I had seen him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying: Fear not. I am the First and the Last, ¹⁸ And alive, and was dead. And behold I am living for ever and ever and have the keys of death and of hell.

² And he had in his hand a little book, open. And he set his right foot upon the sea, and his left foot upon the earth.

⁵ And the angel whom I saw standing upon the sea and upon the earth lifted up his hand to heaven.

⁸ And I heard a voice from heaven, again speaking to me and saying: Go and take the book that is open, from the hand of the angel who standeth upon the sea and upon the earth.

⁷ And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the abyss shall make war against them and shall overcome them and kill them.

⁶ For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets: and thou hast given them blood to drink. For they are worthy.

⁶ And I saw the woman drunk with the blood of the saints and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus. And I wondered, when I had seen her, with great admiration.
