Art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art, the Holy One of God. ²⁵ And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Be silent, and come out of him. ²⁶ And the unclean spirit tore him and cried with a loud voice and came out of him. ²⁷ And they were all amazed, insomuch that they questioned among themselves, saying, What thing is this? What new doctrine is this? for he commands the unclean spirits with power, and they obey him. ²⁸ And immediately his fame spread abroad throughout all the region round about Galilee. ²⁹ ¶ And forthwith, when they were come out of the synagogue, they entered into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John. ³⁰ But Simon’s mother-in-law lay sick of a fever, and soon they told him of her. ³¹ And he came and took her by the hand and lifted her up; and the fever left her by and by, and she ministered unto them. ³² In the evening, when the sun was down, they brought unto him all that were diseased and those that were possessed with devils. ³³ And all the city was gathered together at the door. ³⁴ And he healed many that were sick of diverse diseases and cast out many devils and suffered not the devils to speak because they knew him. ³⁵ And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he went out and departed into a solitary place and prayed there. ³⁶ And Simon and those that were with him followed after him. ³⁷ And when they had found him, they said unto him, All men seek for thee. ³⁸ And he said unto them, Let us go into the next towns that I may preach there also, for truly I came forth for that purpose. ³⁹ And he preached in their synagogues throughout all Galilee and cast out devils. ⁴⁰ ¶ And a leper came to him, beseeching him and kneeling down to him and saying unto him, If thou wilt, thou canst make me clean. ⁴¹ And Jesus, having mercy on him, put forth his hand and touched him and said unto him, I will; be thou clean. ⁴² And as soon as he had spoken, immediately the leprosy departed from him, and he was clean. ⁴³ And he straitly charged him and forthwith sent him away ⁴⁴ and said unto him, See thou say nothing to any man, but go, show thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing those things which Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them. ⁴⁵ But he went out and began to publish it much and to blaze abroad the matter, insomuch that Jesus could no more openly enter into the city, but was without in desert places; and they came to him from every quarter.

¹ ¶ And the LORD spoke unto Moses and Aaron, saying, ² When a man shall have in the skin of his flesh a rising, a scab, or bright spot, and it is in the skin of his flesh like the plague of leprosy, then he shall be brought unto Aaron, the priest, or unto one of his sons, the priests, ³ and the priest shall look on the plague in the skin of the flesh, and if the hair in the plague is turned white and the plague looks deeper than the skin of his flesh, it is a plague of leprosy; and the priest shall recognize him and pronounce him unclean. ⁴ If the bright spot is white in the skin of his flesh and looks to be not deeper than the skin and the hair thereof is not turned white; then the priest shall shut up the one that has the plague seven days; ⁵ and the priest shall look on him the seventh day and see if the plague in his sight is stayed and the plague is not spread in the skin, then the priest shall shut him up seven days the second time. ⁶ After this the priest shall look on him again the seventh day and see if the plague has darkened and that the plague is not spread in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him clean; it is but a scab, and he shall wash his clothes and be clean. ⁷ But if the scab spreads much abroad in the skin after he has been shown unto the priest for his cleansing, he shall be seen of the priest again; ⁸ and if the priest recognizes that the scab has spread in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is leprosy. ⁹ When the plague of leprosy is in a man, then he shall be brought unto the priest; ¹⁰ and the priest shall see him; and if the rising looks white in the skin and it has turned the hair white and there is quick raw flesh in the rising, ¹¹ it is an old leprosy in the skin of his flesh, and the priest shall pronounce him unclean and shall not shut him up, for he is unclean. ¹² But if the leprosy breaks out abroad in the skin and the leprosy covers all the skin of him that has the plague from his head even to his feet wherever the priest looks, ¹³ then the priest shall consider; and if the leprosy has covered all his flesh, he shall pronounce the one that has the plague clean; it is all turned white; he is clean. ¹⁴ But the day that raw flesh appears in him, he shall be unclean.

¹ ¶ And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying, ² This shall be the law of the leper in the day of his cleansing: He shall be brought unto the priest. ³ And the priest shall go forth out of the camp; and the priest shall look and seeing that the plague of leprosy is healed in the leper, ⁴ the priest shall command to take for the one that is to be purified two birds, alive and clean, and cedar wood and scarlet and hyssop; ⁵ and the priest shall command that one of the birds be killed in an earthen vessel upon living water; ⁶ then he shall take the living bird and the cedar wood, and the scarlet and the hyssop and shall dip them and the living bird in the blood of the bird that was killed over the living water; ⁷ and he shall sprinkle upon the one that is to be purified from the leprosy seven times and shall pronounce him clean and shall let the living bird loose into the open field. ⁸ And he that is to be purified shall wash his clothes and shave off all his hair and wash himself with water, and he shall be clean; and after that he shall come into the camp and shall dwell outside of his tent seven days. ⁹ But it shall be that on the seventh day he shall shave all his hair off his head and his beard and his eyebrows; finally he shall shave off all his hair, and he shall wash his clothes; also he shall wash his flesh in water, and he shall be clean. ¹⁰ ¶ And on the eighth day he shall take two he lambs without blemish and one ewe lamb of the first year without blemish and three tenth deals of fine flour for a present, mingled with oil, and one log of oil. ¹¹ And the priest that purifies him shall present the one that is to be made clean with those things, before the LORD at the door of the tabernacle of the testimony; ¹² and the priest shall take one he lamb and offer him for expiation of the guilt, with the log of oil, and wave them for a waved offering before the LORD. ¹³ And he shall slay the lamb in the place where they kill the sin and the burnt offering, in the place of the sanctuary, for that offered as sin is the priest’s, together with that offered as guilt; it is most holy. ¹⁴ And the priest shall take some of the blood of the expiation for the guilt, and the priest shall put it upon the tip of the right ear of the one that is to be purified and upon the thumb of his right hand and upon the great toe of his right foot. ¹⁵ Likewise the priest shall take some of the log of oil, and pour it into the palm of his own left hand; ¹⁶ and the priest shall dip his right finger in the oil that is in his left hand and shall sprinkle of the oil with his finger seven times before the LORD. ¹⁷ And of that which is left of the oil that is in his hand shall the priest put upon the tip of the right ear of the one that is to be purified and upon the thumb of his right hand and upon the great toe of his right foot, upon the blood of the expiation for the guilt; ¹⁸ and that which is left of the oil that is in the priest’s hand, he shall pour upon the head of the one that is to be purified; and thus shall the priest reconcile him before the LORD. ¹⁹ And the priest shall offer the sin and reconcile the one that is to be purified from his uncleanness; and afterward he shall kill the burnt offering. ²⁰ And the priest shall cause the burnt offering and the present to be lifted upon the altar, and thus shall the priest reconcile him, and he shall be clean. ²¹ ¶ But if he is poor, and cannot get so much; then he shall take one lamb for expiation of the guilt to be waved, to reconcile himself, and one tenth deal of fine flour mingled with oil for a present, and a log of oil; ²² and two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, such as he is able to get; and the one shall be as the sin, and the other as a burnt offering. ²³ And he shall bring these things on the eighth day of his purification unto the priest, unto the door of the tabernacle of the testimony, before the LORD. ²⁴ And the priest shall take the lamb of the expiation of the guilt, and the log of oil, and the priest shall wave them for a waved offering before the LORD; ²⁵ then he shall kill the lamb of the expiation of the guilt, and the priest shall take some of the blood of the expiation of the guilt and put it upon the tip of the right ear of the one that is to be purified and upon the thumb of his right hand and upon the great toe of his right foot. ²⁶ And the priest shall pour of the oil into the palm of his own left hand, ²⁷ and the priest shall sprinkle with his right finger some of the oil that is in his left hand seven times before the LORD. ²⁸ The priest shall also put of the oil that is in his hand upon the tip of the right ear of the one that is to be purified and upon the thumb of his right hand and upon the great toe of his right foot in the place of the blood of the expiation for the guilt. ²⁹ And what is left of the oil that is in the priest’s hand he shall put upon the head of the one that is to be purified, to reconcile him before the LORD. ³⁰ Likewise he shall offer one of the turtledoves or of the young pigeons, such as he can get, ³¹ one of such as he is able to get as sin, and the other for a burnt offering, with the present; and thus shall the priest reconcile the one that is to be purified before the LORD. ³² This is the law of the one who has had the plague of leprosy, whose hand is not able to get that which is prescribed for his purification.

Let her be shut out from the camp seven days, and after that let her be received in again. ¹⁵ So Miriam was shut out from the camp seven days, and the people did not journey until Miriam was brought in again.

Therefore now consider and see how he seeks a quarrel against me. ⁸ And when Elisha, the man of God, heard that the king of Israel had rent his clothes, he sent to the king, saying, Why hast thou rent thy clothes? Let him come now to me, and he shall know that there is a prophet in Israel. ⁹ ¶ So Naaman came with his horses and with his chariot and stood at the door of the house of Elisha. ¹⁰ And Elisha sent a messenger unto him, saying, Go and wash in the Jordan seven times, and thy flesh shall be restored, and thou shalt be clean. ¹¹ But Naaman went away angry and said, Behold, I thought, He will surely come out to me and stand and call on the name of the LORD, his God, and strike his hand over the place and remove the leprosy. ¹² Are not Abana and Pharpar, rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel?

So he turned and went away in a rage. ¹³ Then his slaves came near and spoke unto him, and said, My father, if the prophet had bid thee do some great thing, would thou not have done it? How much rather then, when he saith to thee, Wash and be clean? ¹⁴ Then went he down and dipped himself seven times in the Jordan, according to the word of the man of God; and his flesh came again like unto the flesh of a little child, and he was clean. ¹⁵ ¶ And he returned to the man of God, he and all his company, and came and stood before him, and he said, Behold, now I know that there is no God in all the earth, but in Israel. Now therefore, I pray thee, take a blessing from thy slave. ¹⁶ But he said, As the LORD lives, before whom I stand, I will receive none. And he urged him to take it, but he refused. ¹⁷ Then Naaman said, Shall there not then, I pray thee, be given to thy slave two mules’ burden of earth? For from now one thy slave will offer neither burnt offering nor sacrifice unto other gods, but unto the LORD. ¹⁸ In this thing may the LORD pardon thy slave, that when my master goes into the house of Rimmon to worship there, and he leans on my hand, if I also bow myself in the house of Rimmon, that the LORD pardon thy slave in this thing, if I bow down myself in the house of Rimmon. ¹⁹ And he said unto him, Go in peace. So he departed from him a little way. ²⁰ ¶ But Gehazi, the servant of Elisha the man of God, said, Behold, my master has spared Naaman, this Syrian, in not receiving at his hands that which he brought. As the LORD lives, I will run after him and take something from him. ²¹ So Gehazi followed after Naaman. And when Naaman saw him running after him, he lighted down from the chariot to meet him and said, Is there no peace? ²² And he said, Peace. My master has sent me, saying, Behold, even now two young men of the sons of the prophets came to me from Mount Ephraim; give them, I pray thee, a talent of silver and two changes of garments. ²³ And Naaman said, If you wish take two talents. And he urged him and bound two talents of silver in two bags with two changes of garments and laid them upon two of his servants; and they bore them before him. ²⁴ And when he came to a secret place, he took them from their hand and bestowed them in the house; and he let the men go, and they departed. ²⁵ But when he went in and stood before his master, Elisha said unto him, From where comest thou, Gehazi? And he said, Thy servant went nowhere. ²⁶ Then he said unto him, Did not my heart go with thee when the man turned again from his chariot to meet thee? Is it a time to receive money and to receive garments and oliveyards and vineyards and sheep and oxen and menslaves and maidslaves? ²⁷ The leprosy therefore of Naaman shall cleave unto thee and unto thy seed for ever. And he went out from his presence a leper as white as snow.

²⁰ And they straightway left their nets and followed him. ²¹ And going on from there, he saw another two brothers, James the son of Zebedee and John his brother, in a ship with Zebedee their father, mending their nets, and he called them.

²¹ And going on from there, he saw another two brothers, James the son of Zebedee and John his brother, in a ship with Zebedee their father, mending their nets, and he called them. ²² And they immediately left the ship and their father and followed him. ²³ ¶ And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues and preaching the gospel of the kingdom and healing every sickness and every bodily weakness among the people. ²⁴ And his fame went throughout all Syria; and they brought unto him all sick people that were taken with diverse diseases and torments and those who were possessed with devils and those who were lunatic and those that were paralyzed; and he healed them. ²⁵ And there followed him great multitudes of people from Galilee, from Decapolis, from Jerusalem, from Judaea and from beyond Jordan.

²⁸ And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these words, the multitude marvelled at his doctrine; ²⁹ for he taught them as one having authority and not as the scribes.

² And, behold, a leper came and worshipped him, saying, Lord, if thou art willing, thou art able to cleanse me. ³ And Jesus put forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will; be thou clean. And immediately his leprosy was cleansed. ⁴ Then Jesus said unto him, See thou tell no one; but go, show thyself to the priest and offer the gift that Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them.

⁴ Then Jesus said unto him, See thou tell no one; but go, show thyself to the priest and offer the gift that Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them.

¹⁴ ¶ And when Jesus was come into Peter’s house, he saw his wife’s mother lying in bed and with fever. ¹⁵ And he touched her hand, and the fever left her; and she arose and ministered unto them. ¹⁶ When evening was come, they brought unto him many that were possessed with devils, and he cast out the spirits with the word and healed all that were sick

²¹ And another of his disciples said unto him, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father. ²² But Jesus said unto him, Follow me, and let the dead bury their dead.

²⁹ And, behold, they cried out, saying, What have we to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God? Art thou come here to torment us before the time?

³⁰ And their eyes were opened; and Jesus straitly charged them, saying, See that no one knows it. ³¹ But they, when they were departed, spread abroad his fame in all that country.

³³ And when the demon was cast out, the dumb man spoke; and the multitude marvelled, saying, Such a thing has never been seen in Israel.

³⁵ ¶ And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues and preaching the gospel of the kingdom and healing every sickness and every weakness among the people. ³⁶ And when he saw the multitude, he was moved with compassion on them because they fainted and were scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd.

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

⁷ And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of the heavens has come.

³⁷ He that loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me, and he that loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.

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

⁵ The blind receive their sight, and the lame walk; the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear; the dead are raised up, and the poor have the gospel preached to them.

¹⁰ For this is he of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee.

²² ¶ Then was brought unto him one possessed with a demon, blind, and dumb, and he healed him, insomuch that the blind and dumb both spoke and saw. ²³ And all the people were amazed and said, Is not this the son of David?

⁴³ When the unclean spirit is gone out of the man, it walks through dry places, seeking rest, and finds none.

⁵⁴ And when he was come into his own country, he taught them in their synagogue, insomuch that they were astonished and said, From where does this man have this wisdom and these mighty works?

² and said unto his slaves, This is John the Baptist; he is risen from the dead, and therefore mighty works do show forth themselves in him.

²³ And when he had sent the multitude away, he went up into a mountain apart to pray; and when the evening was come, he was there alone.

³³ Then those that were in the ship came and worshipped him, saying, Truly thou art the Son of God.

²⁸ Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith; be it unto thee even as thou desire. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour.

³¹ insomuch that the multitude wondered when they saw the dumb to speak, the maimed to be whole, the lame to walk, and the blind to see, and they glorified the God of Israel.

⁵ While he yet spoke, behold, a cloud of light overshadowed them, and, behold, a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him.

¹⁴ ¶ And when they were come to the multitude, there came to him a certain man, kneeling down to him, and saying,

²⁷ Then Peter answered and said unto him, Behold, we have forsaken all and followed thee; what shall we have therefore? ²⁸ And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye who have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, to judge the twelve tribes of Israel. ²⁹ And every one that has forsaken houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or lands for my name’s sake shall receive a hundredfold and shall inherit eternal life. ³⁰ But many that are first shall be last, and many of the last shall be first.

³¹ Which of the two did the will of his father? They say unto him, The first. Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That the publicans and the harlots go ahead of you into the kingdom of God. ³² For John came unto you in the way of righteousness, and ye believed him not, but the publicans and the harlots believed him, and ye, when ye had seen it, repented not afterward that ye might believe him.

² saying, The scribes and the Pharisees have sat down in Moses’ seat; ³ therefore, whatever they bid you to observe, observe it and do it, but do not act according to their works, for they say and do not do it.

¹⁶ Woe unto you, ye blind guides, who say, Whosoever shall swear by the temple, it is nothing; but whosoever shall swear by the gold of the temple, he is a debtor! ¹⁷ Ye fools and blind, for which is greater, the gold or the temple that sanctifies the gold? ¹⁸ And, Whosoever shall swear by the altar, it is nothing; but whosoever swears by the gift that is upon it, he is a debtor. ¹⁹ Ye fools and blind, for which one is greater, the gift or the altar that sanctifies the gift? ²⁰ Whosoever therefore shall swear by the altar, swears by it and by all things thereon. ²¹ And whosoever shall swear by the temple, swears by it and by Him that dwells therein. ²² And he that shall swear by the heaven, swears by the throne of God and by Him that sits thereon. ²³ Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin and have omitted that which is more important of the law: judgment, mercy, and faith; these were expedient for ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone. ²⁴ Ye blind guides, who strain at a gnat and swallow a camel.

²⁴ The Son of man goes as it is written of him, but woe unto that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! It had been good for that man if he had not been born.

³¹ ¶ Then Jesus said unto them, All ye shall be offended because of me this night; for it is written, I will smite the Shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered abroad.

⁵³ Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father, and he shall presently give me more than twelve legions of angels?

⁵⁵ And many women were there beholding afar off, who followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering unto him;

¹⁵ So they took the money and did as they were taught, and this saying is commonly reported among the Jews until this day.

⁵ And there went out unto him all the land of Judaea and those of Jerusalem and were all baptized of him in the river of Jordan, confessing their sins.

¹⁶ Now as he walked by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew his brother casting a net into the sea, for they were fishers. ¹⁷ And Jesus said unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men. ¹⁸ And straightway they forsook their nets and followed him. ¹⁹ And when he had gone a little further from there, he saw James the son of Zebedee and John his brother, who also were in the ship mending their nets. ²⁰ And straightway he called them; and leaving their father Zebedee in the ship with the hired servants, they went after him. ²¹ And they entered into Capernaum, and straightway on the sabbath days he entered into the synagogue and taught.

²³ ¶ And there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit, and he cried out,

²⁵ And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Be silent, and come out of him.

³¹ And he came and took her by the hand and lifted her up; and the fever left her by and by, and she ministered unto them.

³⁴ And he healed many that were sick of diverse diseases and cast out many devils and suffered not the devils to speak because they knew him.

³⁹ And he preached in their synagogues throughout all Galilee and cast out devils.

⁴⁵ But he went out and began to publish it much and to blaze abroad the matter, insomuch that Jesus could no more openly enter into the city, but was without in desert places; and they came to him from every quarter.

¹ ¶ And again he entered into Capernaum after some days, and it was heard that he was in the house.

¹ ¶ And again he entered into Capernaum after some days, and it was heard that he was in the house. ² And soon many were gathered together, insomuch that there was no room to receive them, no, not so much as about the door; and he preached the word unto them.

¹³ ¶ And he went again unto the sea; and all the multitude resorted unto him, and he taught them.

² And they watched him, whether he would heal him on the sabbath day, that they might accuse him.

⁷ But Jesus withdrew himself with his disciples to the sea, and a great multitude from Galilee followed him, and from Judaea

¹¹ And the unclean spirits, when they saw him, fell down before him and cried out, saying, Thou art the Son of God. ¹² And he straitly charged them that they should not make him known.

¹² And he straitly charged them that they should not make him known.

¹⁶ Simon, whom he gave the name Peter; ¹⁷ and James the son of Zebedee and John the brother of James, whom he surnamed them Boanerges, which is The sons of thunder; ¹⁸ and Andrew and Philip and Bartholomew and Matthew and Thomas and James the son of Alphaeus and Thaddaeus and Simon the Canaanite

³⁹ And as he arose, he rebuked the wind and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.

² And when he was come out of the ship, immediately there met him a man of the tombs, with an unclean spirit,

⁷ Crying out with a loud voice, he said, What hast thou with me, Jesus, thou Son of the most high God? I adjure thee by God, that thou torment me not.

²³ and besought him greatly, saying, My little daughter lies at the point of death; come and lay thy hands on her that she may be saved, and she shall live.

²⁹ And straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up; and she felt in her body that she was healed of that plague.

³⁷ And he suffered no one to follow him, except Peter, and James, and John the brother of James.

⁴¹ And taking the damsel by the hand, he said unto her, Talitha cumi, which is, being interpreted, Damsel, I say unto thee, arise.

⁴³ And he charged them straitly that no one should know it and commanded that something should be given her to eat.

² And when the sabbath day was come, he began to teach in the synagogue; and many hearing him were astonished, saying, From where has this man these things? and what wisdom is this which is given unto him and such mighty works that are wrought by his hands?

³⁴ And Jesus, when he came out, saw a great multitude and had mercy on them because they were as sheep not having a shepherd, and he began to teach them many things.

⁴⁶ And when he had dispatched them, he departed into the mountain to pray. ⁴⁷ And when night was come, the ship was in the midst of the sea, and he alone on the land. ⁴⁸ And he saw them toiling in rowing, for the wind was contrary unto them; and about the fourth watch of the night he came unto them, walking upon the sea, and would have passed by them.

³ (For the Pharisees and all the Jews, unless they wash their hands often, eat not, holding the tradition of the elders. ⁴ And when they come from the market, unless they wash, they eat not. And there are many other things which they took upon themselves to hold such as the washing of cups and pots, brasen vessels and of tables.) ⁵ Then the Pharisees and scribes asked him, Why do thy disciples not walk according to the tradition of the elders but eat bread with unwashed hands? ⁶ He answered and said unto them, Well has Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honours me with their lips, but their heart is far from me. ⁷ Howbeit in vain do they honor me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. ⁸ For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men as the washing of pots and cups, and many other such like things ye do. ⁹ And he also said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition. ¹⁰ For Moses said, Honour thy father and thy mother, and, Whosoever curses father or mother shall most definitely die. ¹¹ But ye say, It is enough if a man shall say to his father or mother, It is all Corban, (that is to say, my gift to God) whatever with which thou mightest be profited by me. ¹² And ye suffer him to do no more for his father or for his mother, ¹³ invalidating the word of God with your tradition, which ye have given; and many such like things do ye.

²⁵ For a certain woman, whose young daughter had an unclean spirit, heard of him and came and fell at his feet;

³⁰ And when she came to her house, she found that the demon had gone out, and the daughter lay upon the bed.

³⁶ And he charged them that they should tell no one; but the more he commanded them, so much more and more they published it ³⁷ and were beyond measure astonished, saying, He has done all things well: he makes both the deaf to hear and the dumb to speak.

² And six days afterwards Jesus took Peter and James and John, and separated them apart by themselves unto a high mountain; and he was transfigured before them.

⁷ And a cloud came that overshadowed them, and a voice came out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son; hear ye him.

²⁰ And they brought him unto him; and when he saw him, straightway the spirit tore him; and he fell on the ground and wallowed foaming.

²² And ofttimes it has cast him into the fire and into the waters to kill him, but if thou canst do any thing, help us, having mercy on us. ²³ And Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe this, all things are possible to him that believes.

²⁵ When Jesus saw that the multitude concurred, he rebuked the unclean spirit, saying unto him, Thou dumb and deaf spirit, I command thee, come out of him and enter no more into him. ²⁶ Then the spirit, crying out and rending him sore, came out; and he remained as one dead, insomuch that many said that he was dead.

¹ ¶ And he left there and came into the borders of Judaea and behind the Jordan; and the multitude joined him again, and he taught them again as was his custom.

¹⁷ ¶ And as he was leaving to continue his way, there came one running, who kneeled before him and asked him, Good Master, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?

²⁴ And the disciples were astonished at his words. But Jesus answered again and said unto them, Children, how hard is it for those that trust in riches to enter into the kingdom of God!

²⁸ Then Peter began to say unto him, Behold, we have left all and have followed thee. ²⁹ And answering him, Jesus said, Verily I say unto you, There is no one that has left house or brethren or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or lands for my sake and the gospel’s

²⁹ And answering him, Jesus said, Verily I say unto you, There is no one that has left house or brethren or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or lands for my sake and the gospel’s ³⁰ who shall not receive one hundredfold now in this time: houses and brethren and sisters and mothers and children and lands, with persecutions, and in the world to come eternal life. ³¹ But many of the first shall be last; and of the last first. ³² ¶ And they were in the way going up to Jerusalem, and Jesus went before them; and they were amazed, and they followed him with fear. Then, taking the twelve aside again, he began to tell them what things would happen unto him,

³⁵ Then James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came unto him, saying, Master, we would that thou should do for us whatever we shall ask.

³³ And he takes with him Peter and James and John and began to be alarmed and to be anguished

⁴¹ (who also, when he was in Galilee, followed him and ministered unto him), and many other women who came up with him unto Jerusalem.

² even as those who were eyewitnesses from the beginning taught us and thus were ministers of the word, ³ it seemed good also to me, after having understood all the things from the beginning with great diligence, to write them unto thee in order, most excellent Theophilus,

¹⁵ For he shall be great in the sight of the Lord and shall drink neither wine nor strong drink; and he shall be filled with the Holy Spirit, even from his mother’s womb. ¹⁶ And he shall turn many of the sons of Israel to the Lord their God. ¹⁷ And he shall go before him in the spirit and power of Elijah to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children and the rebellious to the prudence of the just, to make ready a prepared people for the Lord.

³⁵ And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Spirit shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee; therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.

⁷⁰ as he spoke by the mouth of the saints who from the beginning were his prophets;

⁷⁶ And thou, child, shalt be called prophet of the Most High, for thou shalt go before the face of the Lord to prepare his ways, ⁷⁷ giving knowledge of saving health unto his people for the remission of their sins

¹⁰ But the angel said unto them, Fear not; for, behold, I bring you a gospel of great joy, which shall be to all the people. ¹¹ For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, who is Christ the Lord.

⁴⁹ And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? Knew ye not that it behooves me to be about my Father’s business?

² Annas and Caiaphas being the high priests, the word of God came upon John the son of Zachariah in the wilderness.

² Annas and Caiaphas being the high priests, the word of God came upon John the son of Zachariah in the wilderness. ³ And he came into all the country about Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins;

³ And he came into all the country about Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins; ⁴ as it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord; make his paths straight.

⁴ as it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord; make his paths straight. ⁵ Every valley shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be brought low, and the crooked ways shall be made straight, and the rough ways shall be made smooth;

⁵ Every valley shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be brought low, and the crooked ways shall be made straight, and the rough ways shall be made smooth; ⁶ and all flesh shall see the saving health of God.

⁶ and all flesh shall see the saving health of God. ⁷ Then said he to the multitude that came forth to be baptized of him, O generation of vipers, who taught you to flee from the wrath to come? ⁸ Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance and begin not 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 unto Abraham. ⁹ And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees; every tree therefore which does not bring forth good fruit is hewn down and cast into the fire. ¹⁰ And the people asked him, saying, What shall we do then? ¹¹ He answered and said unto them, He that has two coats, let him impart to him that has none; and he that has food, let him do likewise. ¹² Then the publicans also came to be baptized and said unto him, Master, what shall we do? ¹³ And he said unto them, Exact no more than that which is appointed you. ¹⁴ And the soldiers likewise demanded of him, saying, And what shall we do? And he said unto them, Oppress no one, neither accuse anyone falsely; and be content with your wages. ¹⁵ ¶ And as the people were in expectation, and all men mused in their hearts of John, whether he were the Christ, or not, ¹⁶ John answered, saying unto them all, I indeed baptize you in water, but one mightier than I comes, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose; he shall baptize you in the Holy Spirit and fire;

¹⁶ John answered, saying unto them all, I indeed baptize you in water, but one mightier than I comes, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose; he shall baptize you in the Holy Spirit and fire;

²⁰ added yet this above all, that he shut up John in prison. ²¹ ¶ Now when all the people were baptized, it came to pass that, Jesus also being baptized and praying, the heaven was opened, ²² and the Holy Spirit descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon him, and a voice came from heaven, which said, Thou art my beloved Son; in thee is my delight.

²² and the Holy Spirit descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon him, and a voice came from heaven, which said, Thou art my beloved Son; in thee is my delight.

¹ ¶ And Jesus being full of the Holy Spirit returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness ² for forty days and was tempted of the devil. And in those days he ate nothing; and when they were ended, he afterward hungered. ³ Then the devil said unto him, If thou art the Son of God, command this stone that it be made bread. ⁴ And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God. ⁵ And the devil took him up into a high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the sphere of the world in a moment of time. ⁶ And the devil said unto him, All this authority I will give thee and the glory of them, for that is delivered unto me, and to whomsoever I will I give it. ⁷ If thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall be thine. ⁸ And Jesus answered and said unto him, Get thee behind me, Satan; for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. ⁹ And he brought him to Jerusalem and set him on a pinnacle of the temple and said unto him, If thou art the Son of God, cast thyself down from here; ¹⁰ for it is written, He shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee, ¹¹ and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone. ¹² And Jesus answering said unto him, It is said, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God. ¹³ And having finished all temptation, the devil departed from him for a season.

¹⁶ And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up; and, as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the sabbath day and stood up to read. ¹⁷ And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Isaiah. And when he had opened the book, he found the place where it was written,

¹⁷ And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Isaiah. And when he had opened the book, he found the place where it was written, ¹⁸ The Spirit of the Lord is upon me because he has anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he has sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those that are broken,

¹⁸ The Spirit of the Lord is upon me because he has anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he has sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those that are broken, ¹⁹ to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord.

¹⁹ to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord. ²⁰ And he closed the book, and he gave it again to the minister and sat down. And the eyes of all those that were in the synagogue were fastened on him. ²¹ And he began to say unto them, Today this scripture is fulfilled in your ears.

³¹ ¶ And he went down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee, and taught them on the sabbath days. ³² And they were astonished at his doctrine, for his word was with power.

³² And they were astonished at his doctrine, for his word was with power. ³³ And in the synagogue there was a man who had a spirit of an unclean demon and cried out with a loud voice, ³⁴ saying, Let us alone; what have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? Art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art: the Holy One of God.

³⁴ saying, Let us alone; what have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? Art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art: the Holy One of God. ³⁵ And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Be silent and come out of him. And the demon, throwing him down in the midst, came out of him and hurt him not.

³⁵ And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Be silent and come out of him. And the demon, throwing him down in the midst, came out of him and hurt him not. ³⁶ And they were all amazed and spoke among themselves, saying, What word is this! For with authority and power he commands the unclean spirits, and they come out.

³⁶ And they were all amazed and spoke among themselves, saying, What word is this! For with authority and power he commands the unclean spirits, and they come out. ³⁷ And his fame went out into every place of the country round about.

³⁷ And his fame went out into every place of the country round about. ³⁸ And he arose out of the synagogue, and entered into Simon’s house. And Simon’s wife’s mother was taken with a great fever, and they besought him for her. ³⁹ And he stood over her and rebuked the fever, and it left her, and immediately she arose and ministered unto them. ⁴⁰ Now when the sun was setting, all those who had anyone sick with diverse diseases brought them unto him, and laying his hands on each one of them, he healed them. ⁴¹ And demons also came out of many, crying out and saying, Thou art the Christ, the Son of God. And he rebuking them suffered them not to speak, for they knew that he was the Christ. ⁴² And when it was day, he departed and went into a desert place, and the people sought him and came unto him and stayed him, that he should not depart from them. ⁴³ And he said unto them, I must announce the gospel of the kingdom of God to other cities also because for this am I sent.

⁴³ And he said unto them, I must announce the gospel of the kingdom of God to other cities also because for this am I sent.

⁴³ And he said unto them, I must announce the gospel of the kingdom of God to other cities also because for this am I sent. ⁴⁴ And he preached in the synagogues of Galilee.

¹ ¶ And it came to pass that, as the people pressed upon him to hear the word of God, he stood by the lake of Gennesaret ² and saw two ships that were by the shore of the lake, but the fishermen were gone out of them and were washing their nets. ³ And he entered into one of the ships, which was Simon’s, and prayed him that he would thrust out a little from the land. And he sat down and taught the people out of the ship. ⁴ Now when he had left speaking, he said unto Simon, Launch out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch. ⁵ And Simon answering said unto him, Master, we have toiled all the night and have taken nothing; nevertheless, at thy word I will let down the net. ⁶ And when they had done this, they inclosed a great multitude of fishes, and their net was breaking. ⁷ And they beckoned unto their partners, who were in the other ship, that they should come and help them. And they came and filled both the ships, so that they began to sink. ⁸ When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down on his knees before Jesus, saying, Depart from me, Lord, for I am a sinful man. ⁹ For he was overcome with fear, and all that were with him, at the catch of the fishes which they had taken; ¹⁰ and likewise James and John, the sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. And Jesus said unto Simon, Fear not; from now on thou shalt catch men.

¹⁰ and likewise James and John, the sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. And Jesus said unto Simon, Fear not; from now on thou shalt catch men. ¹¹ And when they had brought their ships to land, they forsook all and followed him.

¹¹ And when they had brought their ships to land, they forsook all and followed him. ¹² ¶ And it came to pass when he was in a certain city, behold a man full of leprosy who, seeing Jesus, fell on his face and besought him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean. ¹³ And he put forth his hand and touched him, saying, I will; be thou clean. And immediately the leprosy departed from him. ¹⁴ And he charged him to tell no one. But go and show thyself to the priest and offer for thy cleansing, according as Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them.

¹⁴ And he charged him to tell no one. But go and show thyself to the priest and offer for thy cleansing, according as Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them. ¹⁵ But so much the more his fame went forth, and great multitudes came together to hear and to be healed by him of their infirmities. ¹⁶ But he withdrew himself into the wilderness and prayed.

¹⁶ But he withdrew himself into the wilderness and prayed. ¹⁷ ¶ And it came to pass on a certain day, as he was teaching, that there were Pharisees and doctors of the law sitting by, who were come out of every town of Galilee and Judaea and Jerusalem; and the power of the Lord was present to heal them.

¹² ¶ And it came to pass in those days that he went out into the mountain to pray and continued all night in prayer to God.

¹⁴ Simon (whom he also named Peter) and Andrew his brother, James and John, Philip and Bartholomew,

⁶ Then Jesus went with them. And when he was now not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to him, saying unto him, Lord, trouble not thyself, for I am not worthy that thou should enter under my roof; ⁷ therefore neither did I think myself worthy to come unto thee but say the word, and my slave shall be healed.

¹² Now when he came near to the gate of the city, behold, there was a dead man carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow; and many people from the city were with her. ¹³ And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her and said unto her, Weep not.

²⁷ This is he of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee. ²⁸ For I say unto you, Among those that are born of women there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist, but he that is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.

¹ ¶ And it came to pass afterward that he went throughout every city and village, preaching and announcing the gospel of the kingdom of God, and the twelve with him, ² and certain women, who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities: Mary called Magdalene, out of whom went seven devils, ³ and Joanna the wife of Chuza, Herod’s steward, and Susanna, and many others who ministered unto him of their substance.

²⁸ When he saw Jesus, he cried out and fell down before him and with a loud voice said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God most high? I beseech thee, torment me not.

³⁷ Then the whole multitude of the country of the Gadarenes round about besought him to depart from them, for they were taken with great fear; and he went up into the ship and returned back again.

⁵⁶ And her parents were astonished, but he charged them that they should tell no one what was done.

¹ ¶ Then he called his twelve disciples together and gave them power and authority over all the demons and to cure diseases.

³⁵ And a voice came out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son; hear him.

³⁹ And, behold, a spirit takes him, and he suddenly cries out; and it throws him into convulsions with foaming, and with difficulty it departs from him, bruising him.

⁴² And as he was yet a coming, the demon threw him down into convulsions; but Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit and healed the child and delivered him again to his father.

⁵⁸ And Jesus said unto him, Foxes have holes, and birds of the heaven have nests, but the Son of man has not where to lay his head.

⁹ and heal the sick that are therein and say unto them, The kingdom of God is come near unto you.

¹¹ Even the very dust of your city which cleaves on us we do wipe off against you; notwithstanding be ye sure of this that the kingdom of God is come near unto you.

¹⁵ And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted unto the heavens, shalt be thrust down to Hades.

¹⁷ ¶ And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the demons are subject unto us in thy name. ¹⁸ And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven. ¹⁹ Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you. ²⁰ Notwithstanding, rejoice not in this, that the spirits are subject unto you, but rather rejoice because your names are written in the heavens.

²² but when another stronger than he shall come upon him and overcome him, he takes from him all his arms in which he trusted and divides his spoils.

¹⁰ ¶ And he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the sabbath.

²⁶ If anyone comes to me and does not hate his father and mother and wife and children and brethren and sisters, and even his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.

³³ So likewise, any one of you that does not forsake all that he has cannot be my disciple.

¹² And as he entered into a certain village, ten men that were lepers met him, who stood afar off ¹³ and lifted up their voices and said, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us. ¹⁴ When he saw them, he said unto them, Go show yourselves unto the priests. And it came to pass that as they went, they were cleansed.

¹⁴ When he saw them, he said unto them, Go show yourselves unto the priests. And it came to pass that as they went, they were cleansed. ¹⁵ Then one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back and with a loud voice glorified God ¹⁶ and fell down on his face at his feet, giving him thanks; and he was a Samaritan. ¹⁷ And Jesus answering said, Were there not ten cleansed? but where are the nine? ¹⁸ Were there not found any returning to give glory to God, except this stranger? ¹⁹ And he said unto him, Arise, go; thy faith has saved thee.

²⁸ Then Peter said, Behold, we have left all and followed thee. ²⁹ And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, There is no one that has left house or parents or brethren or wife or children for the kingdom of God’s sake ³⁰ who shall not receive manifold more in this present time and in the age to come, eternal life. ³¹ ¶ Then he took unto him the twelve and said unto them, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and all things that are written by the prophets concerning the Son of man shall be accomplished.

¹⁵ for I will give you a mouth and wisdom which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist.

³⁹ ¶ And he came out and went as he was wont to the mount of Olives, and his disciples also followed him. ⁴⁰ And when he was at the place, he said unto them, Pray that ye enter not into temptation. ⁴¹ And he withdrew from them about a stone’s cast and kneeled down and prayed,

⁴¹ And he withdrew from them about a stone’s cast and kneeled down and prayed, ⁴² saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me; nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done. ⁴³ And there appeared an angel unto him from heaven, strengthening him. ⁴⁴ And being in agony, he prayed more earnestly; and his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground. ⁴⁵ And when he rose up from prayer and was come to his disciples, he found them sleeping for sorrow ⁴⁶ and said unto them, Why sleep ye? rise and pray, lest ye enter into temptation.

¹⁹ Then he said unto them, What things? And they said unto him, Concerning Jesus of Nazareth, who was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people,

⁴⁷ and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning from Jerusalem.

¹⁴ And the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father), full of grace and truth. ¹⁵ ¶ John bore witness of him and cried, saying, This is he of whom I spoke, He that comes after me is preferred before me, for he was before me.

¹⁹ ¶ And this is the testimony of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, Who art thou? ²⁰ And he confessed and denied not, but confessed, I am not the Christ. ²¹ And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elijah? And he said, I am not. Art thou the prophet? And he answered, No. ²² Then said they unto him, Who art thou? that we may give an answer to those that sent us. What sayest thou of thyself? ²³ He said, I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Isaiah. ²⁴ And those who were sent were of the Pharisees. ²⁵ And they asked him and said unto him, Why dost thou baptize then if thou art not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the prophet? ²⁶ John answered them, saying, I baptize with water, but there stands one among you, whom ye know not; ²⁷ he it is, who coming after me is preferred before me, whose shoe’s latchet I am not worthy to unloose.

²⁷ he it is, who coming after me is preferred before me, whose shoe’s latchet I am not worthy to unloose. ²⁸ These things were done in Bethabara beyond Jordan, where John was baptizing.

²⁸ These things were done in Bethabara beyond Jordan, where John was baptizing. ²⁹ ¶ The next day John saw Jesus coming unto him and said, Behold the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world. ³⁰ This is he of whom I said, After me comes a man who is preferred before me, for he was before me. ³¹ And I knew him not; but that he should be made manifest to Israel, therefore am I come baptizing with water. ³² And John gave testimony, saying, I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it abode upon him. ³³ And I knew him not; but he that sent me to baptize with water, the same said unto me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending and abiding on him, the same is he who baptizes with the Holy Spirit. ³⁴ And I have seen and have given testimony that this is the Son of God.

³⁴ And I have seen and have given testimony that this is the Son of God.

⁴⁰ One of the two who heard John speak and followed him was Andrew, brother of Simon Peter. ⁴¹ He first found his own brother Simon and said unto him, We have found the Messias, which is, being interpreted, the Christ. ⁴² And he brought him to Jesus. And when Jesus beheld him, he said, Thou art Simon the son of Jonah: thou shalt be called Cephas, which is by interpretation, A stone.

⁴⁹ Nathanael answered and said unto him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God; thou art the King of Israel.

¹⁶ For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.

²² ¶ After these things Jesus and his disciples came into the land of Judaea, and he tarried there with them and baptized. ²³ And John also was baptizing in Aenon near to Salim because there was much water there, and they came and were baptized.

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

²⁶ And they came unto John and said unto him, Rabbi, he that was with thee beyond Jordan of whom thou gave witness, behold, the same baptizes, and all men come to him.

²⁸ Ye yourselves are my witnesses that I said, I am not the Christ, but that I am sent before him.

²⁸ Ye yourselves are my witnesses 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 greatly because of the bridegroom’s voice; this my joy therefore is fulfilled.

²⁹ He that has the bride is the bridegroom, but the friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices greatly because of the bridegroom’s voice; this my joy therefore is fulfilled. ³⁰ It is expedient unto him to increase, but unto me, to decrease.

³⁰ It is expedient unto him to increase, but unto me, to decrease. ³¹ He that comes from above is above all; he that is of the earth is earthly and speaks earthly things: he that comes from heaven is above all.

³¹ He that comes from above is above all; he that is of the earth is earthly and speaks earthly things: he that comes from heaven is above all. ³² And what he has seen and heard, that 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 does not give the Spirit by measure unto him. ³⁵ The Father loves the Son and has given all things into his hand. ³⁶ He that believes in the Son has eternal life, and he that does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him.

³⁴ Jesus said unto them, My food is to do the will of him that sent me and to finish his work.

⁵⁰ Jesus said unto him, Go; thy son lives. And the man believed the word that Jesus spoke unto him, and he went. ⁵¹ And as he was now going down, his slaves met him and told him, saying, Thy son lives. ⁵² Then he enquired of them the hour when he began to get better. And they said unto him, Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him. ⁵³ So the father knew that it was at the same hour in which Jesus said unto him, Thy son lives; and he believed, and his whole house.

²⁰ For the Father loves the Son and shows him all the things that he does, and he will show him greater works than these that ye may marvel. ²¹ For as the Father raises up the dead and gives them life; even so the Son gives life unto whom he will. ²² For the Father judges no man but has committed all judgment unto the Son ²³ that everyone should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that does not honour the Son does not honour the Father who has sent him.

³⁷ And the Father himself, who has sent me, has borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time nor seen his appearance.

² And a great multitude followed him because they saw his signs which he did on the sick.

⁸ One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, said unto him,

¹⁵ ¶ Jesus therefore knowing that they would come and take him by force to make him king, he departed again into a mountain himself alone.

⁶⁹ And we believe and know that thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.

⁴⁶ The officers answered, Never has anyone spoken like this man.

⁴ It is expedient that I do the works of him that sent me while it is day; the night comes, when no one can work.

³ Therefore his sisters sent unto him, saying, Lord, behold, he whom thou lovest is sick.

⁴⁸ If we let him thus alone, everyone will believe on him, and the Romans shall come and take away both our place and the nation.

¹⁹ The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, Perceive ye how ye prevail nothing? behold, the world is gone after him.

²² Philip came and told Andrew, and then Andrew and Philip told Jesus.

²⁸ Father, clarify thy name. Then there came a voice from the heaven, saying, I have clarified it and will clarify it again. ²⁹ The people, therefore, that were present and heard it, said that it thundered; others said, An angel spoke to him. ³⁰ Jesus answered and said, This voice came not because of me, but for your sakes.

³ Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.

²⁸ ¶ I came forth from the Father and am come into the world; again, I leave the world and go to the Father.

⁴ I have clarified thee on the earth; I have finished the work which thou didst give me to do.

⁸ For I have given unto them the words which thou gavest me; and they have received them and have known surely that I came out from thee, and they have believed that thou didst send me.

³¹ but these are written that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing ye might have life in his name.

¹ ¶ The former treatise I have made, O Theophilus, of all that Jesus began both to do and teach, ² until the day in which, having given commandments by the Holy Spirit unto the apostles whom he had chosen, he was received on high;

⁵ For John truly baptized in water, but ye shall be baptized in the Holy Spirit not many days from now.

¹³ And when they were come in, they went up into an upper room, where Peter and James and John and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus and Simon Zelotes, and Judas the brother of James were.

⁴ And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

¹⁷ And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, 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 old men shall dream dreams;

²⁷ because thou wilt not leave my soul in Hades, neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.

³⁶ Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly that God has made this same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ. ³⁷ ¶ Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do? ³⁸ Then Peter said unto them, Repent and be baptized each one of you into the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

³⁸ Then Peter said unto them, Repent and be baptized each one of you into the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

³⁸ Then Peter said unto them, Repent and be baptized each one of you into the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. ³⁹ For the promise is unto you and to your children and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call. ⁴⁰ And with many other words he testified and exhorted, saying, Be saved from this perverse generation. ⁴¹ So that those who gladly received his word were baptized, and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls.

¹⁴ But ye denied the Holy One and the Just and desired a murderer to be granted unto you

²⁷ For of a truth against thy holy servant Jesus, whom thou hast anointed, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and the people of Israel, were gathered together (in this city),

¹⁰ And they were not able to resist the wisdom and the Spirit by which he spoke.

⁶⁰ And he kneeled down and cried with a loud voice, Lord, impute not this sin to their charge. And having said this, he fell asleep in the Lord.

²¹ But all that heard him were amazed and said, Is not this he that destroyed those who called on this name in Jerusalem and came here for that intent that he might bring them bound unto the princes of the priests? ²² But Saul increased the more in strength and confounded the Jews who dwelt at Damascus, proving that this is the Christ.

⁴¹ And he gave her his hand and lifted her up; and calling the saints and widows, he presented her alive.

³⁷ that word, I say, ye know, which was published throughout all Judaea and began from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached,

⁴⁵ And those of the circumcision who believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, that also on the Gentiles the gift of the Holy Spirit was poured out.

¹⁵ And as I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell on them, as on us at the beginning. ¹⁶ Then I remembered the word of the Lord, when he said, John indeed baptized in water, but ye shall be baptized in the Holy Spirit.

² And he killed James the brother of John with the sword.

¹⁴ ¶ But when they departed from Perga, they came to Antioch in Pisidia and went into the synagogue on the sabbath day and sat down. ¹⁵ And after the reading of the law and the prophets the princes of the synagogue sent unto them, saying, Ye men and brethren, if ye have any word of exhortation for the people, speak. ¹⁶ Then Paul stood up, and beckoning with his hand said, Men of Israel and ye that fear God hearken. ¹⁷ The God of this people of Israel chose our fathers and exalted the people when they dwelt as strangers in the land of Egypt, and with a high arm he brought them out of it. ¹⁸ And for the time of about forty years, he suffered their manners in the wilderness. ¹⁹ And when he had destroyed seven nations in the land of Canaan, he divided their land to them by lot. ²⁰ And after that he gave unto them judges about the space of four hundred and fifty years, until Samuel the prophet. ²¹ And afterward they asked for a king, and God gave unto them Saul the son of Cis, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, for forty years. ²² And when he had removed him, he raised up unto them David to be their king, to whom also he gave testimony, saying, I have found David, the son of Jesse, a man after my own heart, who shall fulfil all my will. ²³ Of this man’s seed has God according to his promise raised up Jesus as Saviour unto Israel: ²⁴ John, having first proclaimed before his coming, the baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel.

²⁴ John, having first proclaimed before his coming, the baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel. ²⁵ And as John fulfilled his course, he said, Whom think ye that I am? I am not he. But, behold, there comes one after me, whose shoes of his feet I am not worthy to loose.

²⁵ And as John fulfilled his course, he said, Whom think ye that I am? I am not he. But, behold, there comes one after me, whose shoes of his feet I am not worthy to loose.

²⁵ And as John fulfilled his course, he said, Whom think ye that I am? I am not he. But, behold, there comes one after me, whose shoes of his feet I am not worthy to loose. ²⁶ Men and brethren, sons of the lineage of Abraham, and whosoever among you fears God, unto you is this word of saving health sent. ²⁷ For those that dwell at Jerusalem and their princes, because they knew him not nor yet the voices of the prophets who are read every sabbath day, they have fulfilled them in condemning him. ²⁸ And without finding cause of death in him, yet they asked Pilate that he should be slain. ²⁹ And when they had fulfilled all that was written of him, they took him down from the tree and laid him in a sepulchre. ³⁰ But God raised him from the dead, ³¹ and he was seen many days by those who came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who until now are his witnesses unto the people. ³² And we declare unto you the gospel of the promise which was made unto the fathers, ³³ which God has fulfilled unto us their children, in that he has raised up Jesus again; as it is also written in the second psalm, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee. ³⁴ And as concerning that he raised him up from the dead, now no more to return to corruption, he said this, I will give you the sure mercies promised to David. ³⁵ Therefore he also says in another place, Thou shalt not suffer thy Holy One to see corruption. ³⁶ For David, after he had served his own generation by the will of God, fell asleep and was gathered unto his fathers and saw corruption; ³⁷ but he, whom God raised again, saw no corruption. ³⁸ Be it known unto you, therefore, men and brethren, that through this one is preached unto you the remission of sins; ³⁹ and in him all that believe are justified from all the things from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses. ⁴⁰ Beware, therefore, lest what is spoken of in the prophets come upon you: ⁴¹ Behold, ye despisers, and wonder and perish, for I do a work in your days, a work which ye would in no wise believe, if one should declare it unto you. ⁴² ¶ And when they were gone out of the synagogue of the Jews, the Gentiles besought that these words might be spoken to them the next sabbath. ⁴³ Now when the synagogue was dismissed, many of the Jews and religious proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas, who, speaking to them, persuaded them to remain in the grace of God. ⁴⁴ And the next sabbath day almost the whole city came together to hear the word of God.

⁴⁴ And the next sabbath day almost the whole city came together to hear the word of God. ⁴⁵ But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with envy and spoke against that which Paul said, contradicting and blaspheming. ⁴⁶ Then Paul and Barnabas speaking with freedom, said, It was necessary indeed that the word of God should first have been spoken to you; but seeing ye put it from you and judge yourselves unworthy of eternal life, behold, we turn to the Gentiles. ⁴⁷ For so has the Lord commanded us, saying, I have set thee to be a light of the Gentiles that thou should be for saving health unto the ends of the earth. ⁴⁸ And when the Gentiles heard this, they were glad and glorified the word of the Lord, and as many as were ordained to eternal life believed. ⁴⁹ And the word of the Lord was published throughout all the region. ⁵⁰ But the Jews stirred up the devout and honourable women and the principals of the city and raised up persecution against Paul and Barnabas and expelled them out of their borders. ⁵¹ But they shook off the dust of their feet against them and came unto Iconium. ⁵² And the disciples were filled with joy and with the Holy Spirit.

¹⁶ ¶ And it came to pass, as we went to prayer, a certain damsel possessed with a Pythian spirit met us, which brought her masters much gain by divination: ¹⁷ she followed Paul and us and cried out, saying, These men are the slaves of the most high God, who announce unto us the way of deliverance.

¹⁷ she followed Paul and us and cried out, saying, These men are the slaves of the most high God, who announce unto us the way of deliverance. ¹⁸ And she did this for many days. But Paul, being grieved, turned and said to the spirit, I command thee in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And he came out the same hour.

² And Paul, as his manner was, went in unto them, and three sabbath days reasoned with them out of the scriptures,

⁴ And he reasoned in the synagogue every sabbath and persuaded Jews and Greeks.

³ And he said unto them, Into what then were ye baptized? And they said, Into John’s baptism. ⁴ Then said Paul, John verily baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people that they should believe on him who should come after him, that is, on Christ, Jesus.

⁴ Then said Paul, John verily baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people that they should believe on him who should come after him, that is, on Christ, Jesus. ⁵ When they heard this, they were baptized into the name of the Lord Jesus. ⁶ And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Spirit came on them, and they spoke in tongues and prophesied.

¹⁸ And many that believed came, confessing and declaring their deeds.

²¹ testifying both to the Jews and also to the Gentiles, repentance toward God and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.

²⁵ And now, behold, I know that ye all, among whom I have gone preaching the kingdom of God, shall see my face no more.

¹⁶ And now why tarriest thou? Arise and be baptized and wash away thy sins, calling on the name of the Lord.

⁵ For we have found this man a pestilent fellow and a mover of sedition among all the Jews throughout the world and prince of the seditious sect of the Nazarenes,

²³ ¶ And when they had appointed him a day, many came to him into his lodging, to whom he expounded and testified the kingdom of God, procuring to persuade them of that concerning Jesus, the Christ, out of the law of Moses and out of the prophets, from morning until evening.

¹ ¶ Paul, slave of Jesus, the Christ, called to be an apostle, separated unto the gospel of God ² (which he had promised before by his prophets in the holy scriptures) ³ of his Son (who was born unto him of the seed of David according to the flesh, ⁴ who was declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the Spirit of sanctification, by the resurrection from the dead), of Jesus, the Christ, our Lord.

⁴ who was declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the Spirit of sanctification, by the resurrection from the dead), of Jesus, the Christ, our Lord.

³ For that which was impossible to the law, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh

³² He that did not spare his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not also give us all things with him?

⁴ For the things that were written beforehand were written for our instruction that we, through patient endurance and through the comfort of the scriptures, might have hope.

²⁶ but now is made manifest, and by the writings of the prophets, by the commandment of God eternal, declared unto all the Gentiles, that they might hear and obey by faith,

⁵ Do we not have authority to bring with us a sister, a wife, as also the other apostles and as the brothers of the Lord and Cephas?

¹¹ Now all these things happened unto them as types, and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the ages are come.

¹³ For by one Spirit we are all baptized into one body, whether we are Jews or Greeks, whether we are slaves or free, and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.

² but remove from ourselves every hidden shameful thing, not walking in craftiness, nor adulterating the word of God, but in the manifestation of the truth, commending ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God.

¹⁶ ¶ Therefore from now on we know no one according to the flesh: and even if we have known Christ according to the flesh, yet now we know him no longer.

⁴ but when the fullness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, born of a woman, born under the law,

¹⁰ that in the dispensation of the fulfillment of the times he might restore all things by the Christ, both those which are in heaven and those which are on earth,

¹⁷ and he came and preached peace unto you who were afar off and to those that were near.

¹⁴ ¶ For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ

¹⁸ praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit and watching in this with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints

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

⁸ And doubtless I even count all things as loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ

¹³ who has delivered us from the power of darkness, and has translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son,

¹⁶ And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.

²⁵ that with meekness they might teach those that resist, if God peradventure will grant unto them that they might repent and know the truth, ²⁶ and that they may become converted out of the snare of the devil, in which they are captive to do his will.

¹⁰ For there are many insubordinate and vain talkers and deceivers of souls, especially those of the circumcision,

⁵ not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit, ⁶ which he poured out abundantly in us through Jesus, the Christ, our Saviour;

¹ ¶ God, having spoken many times and in many ways in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, ² has in these last times spoken unto us by his Son, whom he has appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the ages; ³ who being the brightness of his glory and the express image of his substance and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;

¹⁷ Therefore in all things he should be made like unto his brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make atonement for the sins of the people.

¹⁷ Therefore in all things he should be made like unto his brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make atonement for the sins of the people. ¹⁸ For in that he himself has suffered and was tempted, he is also powerful to help those that are tempted.

¹² For the word of God is alive and efficient and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. ¹³ Neither is there any created thing that is not manifested in his presence, but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him of whom we speak.

¹⁵ For we do not have a high priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.

⁷ Who in the days of his flesh, when he had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him from death, was heard because of his reverent fear;

¹⁹ Thou believest that God is one; thou doest well; the demons also believe and tremble.

¹⁴ Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the congregation {Gr. ekklesia – called out ones}; and let them pray for him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord; ¹⁵ and the prayer of faith shall cause the one who is sick to be saved, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he has committed sins, he shall be forgiven them.

¹⁷ For he received from God the Father honour and glory, when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. ¹⁸ And we heard this voice which came from heaven, when we were together with him in the holy mount.

¹ ¶ That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life ² (for the life is manifested, and we also saw it and bear witness and show unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father and appeared unto us); ³ that which we have seen and heard we declare unto you, that ye also may have communion with us; and truly our communion is with the Father and with his Son Jesus Christ.

⁸ ¶ If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and there is no truth in us. ⁹ If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. ¹⁰ If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.

¹¹ And this is the witness, that God has given eternal life to us, and this life is in his Son. ¹² He that has the Son has life; and he that does not have the Son of God does not have life.

⁷ ¶ And to the angel of the congregation {Gr. ekklesia – called out ones} in Philadelphia write; These things, saith he that is Holy and True, he who has the key of David, who opens and no one shuts and shuts, and no one opens;
