Acts 10 Cross References - Haweis

¹ NOW there was a man at Caesarea named Cornelius, a centurion of the cohort called the Italic, ² a man of piety, and who feared God with all his house, giving much alms to the people, and praying to God continually. ³ He saw in a vision evidently about the ninth hour of the day an angel of God coming to him, and saying to him, Cornelius. ⁴ Then looking stedfastly on him, and being terrified, he said, What means this, Lord? And he said unto him, Thy prayers and thine alms are come up for a memorial before God. ⁵ And now send men to Joppa, and inquire for Simon, who is surnamed Peter: ⁶ he lodgeth with one Simon a tanner, whose house is near the sea: this man will tell thee what thou must do. ⁷ But when the angel departed who spake to Cornelius, he called two of his domestics, and a pious soldier, persons who constantly were in attendance upon him; ⁸ and relating all things to them, sent them to Joppa. ⁹ Then the next morning, as they were on their journey, and drew near to the city, Peter went up to the flat roof to pray about the sixth hour: ¹⁰ and he grew very hungry, and desired something to eat: but whilst they were getting it ready, a sacred ecstacy fell upon him. ¹¹ And he saw heaven opened, and there descended to him a certain vessel, as a great sheet with chains at the four corners, and resting upon the earth: ¹² in which were all the quadrupeds of the earth, and wild beasts, and reptiles, and birds of the air. ¹³ And there came a voice to him, Rise, Peter; slay and eat. ¹⁴ But Peter said, By no means, Lord for I have never at any time eaten of any thing common or unclean. ¹⁵ And the voice again a second time came to him, What God hath cleansed, call not thou unclean. ¹⁶ This was thrice repeated: and the vessel was again taken up into heaven. ¹⁷ But while Peter was perplexed in himself what was meant by the vision which he had seen, then, behold! the men which had been sent by Cornelius having inquired out the house of Simon, stood before the door, ¹⁸ and calling, asked if Simon, surnamed Peter, lodged there. ¹⁹ But while Peter was musing upon the vision, the Spirit said to him, Lo! three men are inquiring after thee. ²⁰ Arise then, and go down, and go with them, entertaining no doubt, for I have sent them. ²¹ Then Peter went down to the men who were sent by Cornelius to him; and said, Lo! I am the person that ye ask for: what is the business on which ye are come hither? ²² Then they said, Cornelius a centurion, a just man, and one that feareth God, and of good report with all the nation of the Jews, has been divinely admonished by a holy angel to send for thee to his house, to hear words from thee. ²³ Then inviting them in, he lodged them there. And the next morning Peter went with them, and some of the brethren from Joppa accompanied him. ²⁴ And the next day they entered into Caesarea. Now Cornelius was expecting them, having called together his relations and nearest friends. ²⁵ And as Peter was entering, Cornelius met him, and falling at his feet, paid him homage. ²⁶ But Peter raised him up, saying, Arise; I also myself am a man. ²⁷ And conversing with him, he entered, and found many assembled together. ²⁸ And he said unto them, Ye know how contrary it is to established usage, for a man who is a Jew to associate with or visit one of another nation; but God hath shewed me to call no man common or unclean. ²⁹ Wherefore also without a word, I came when invited: I beg to know therefore for what purpose ye have sent for me? ³⁰ Then Cornelius said, Four days ago I was fasting till this hour; and at the ninth hour I was praying in my house, and, lo! a man stood before me in shining apparel, ³¹ and said, Cornelius, thy prayer is heard, and thy alms are remembered before God. ³² Send therefore to Joppa, and invite Simon, whose surname is Peter, to come to thee; he lodgeth in the house of Simon the tanner, near the sea: who, when he is come will talk with thee. ³³ Immediately therefore I sent to thee; and thou hast done well in coming. Now therefore are all we here present before God, to hear all things that are given in charge to thee from God. ³⁴ Then Peter opening his mouth, said, In truth I perceive that God is not a respecter of persons: ³⁵ but in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is acceptable to him. ³⁶ The word which he sent to the children of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ, (he is Lord of all,) ye know: ³⁷ even that which was the common talk through all Judea, beginning from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached; ³⁸ respecting Jesus, who was of Nazareth, how God had anointed him with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were tyrannically oppressed of the devil; for God was with him. ³⁹ And we are witnesses of all things which he did both in the region of the Jews, and in Jerusalem; whom they killed suspending him on a tree: ⁴⁰ him God raised up the third day, and ordained that he should be visibly manifested; ⁴¹ not to all the people, but to witnesses chosen before of God, even to us, who did eat and drink with him after he was arisen from the dead. ⁴² And hath commanded us to proclaim to the people, and to bear our testimony that this is the person who is ordained of God the Judge of the living and the dead. ⁴³ To him bear all the prophets witness, that through his name every one who believeth in him, shall receive remission of sins. ⁴⁴ While Peter was yet speaking these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all who heard the discourse. ⁴⁵ And they of the circumcision who were believers, as many as came with Peter, were amazed, because even on the Gentiles the gift of the holy Ghost was poured out. ⁴⁶ For they heard them speaking in different languages, and magnifying God.

¹⁶ no longer as a slave, but above a slave, as a brother beloved, especially by me, but how much more by thee, both in the flesh, and in the Lord?

³³ Immediately therefore I sent to thee; and thou hast done well in coming. Now therefore are all we here present before God, to hear all things that are given in charge to thee from God.

³⁵ And very early (the night being far advanced towards morning) rising up, he went forth, and retired into a desert place, and there prayed.

⁴⁶ And having bid them farewell, he went into a mountain to pray.

⁴ But we will devote ourselves constantly to prayer, and to the ministry of the word.

⁸ and relating all things to them, sent them to Joppa. ⁹ Then the next morning, as they were on their journey, and drew near to the city, Peter went up to the flat roof to pray about the sixth hour: ¹⁰ and he grew very hungry, and desired something to eat: but whilst they were getting it ready, a sacred ecstacy fell upon him. ¹¹ And he saw heaven opened, and there descended to him a certain vessel, as a great sheet with chains at the four corners, and resting upon the earth: ¹² in which were all the quadrupeds of the earth, and wild beasts, and reptiles, and birds of the air. ¹³ And there came a voice to him, Rise, Peter; slay and eat. ¹⁴ But Peter said, By no means, Lord for I have never at any time eaten of any thing common or unclean. ¹⁵ And the voice again a second time came to him, What God hath cleansed, call not thou unclean. ¹⁶ This was thrice repeated: and the vessel was again taken up into heaven. ¹⁷ But while Peter was perplexed in himself what was meant by the vision which he had seen, then, behold! the men which had been sent by Cornelius having inquired out the house of Simon, stood before the door, ¹⁸ and calling, asked if Simon, surnamed Peter, lodged there. ¹⁹ But while Peter was musing upon the vision, the Spirit said to him, Lo! three men are inquiring after thee. ²⁰ Arise then, and go down, and go with them, entertaining no doubt, for I have sent them. ²¹ Then Peter went down to the men who were sent by Cornelius to him; and said, Lo! I am the person that ye ask for: what is the business on which ye are come hither? ²² Then they said, Cornelius a centurion, a just man, and one that feareth God, and of good report with all the nation of the Jews, has been divinely admonished by a holy angel to send for thee to his house, to hear words from thee. ²³ Then inviting them in, he lodged them there. And the next morning Peter went with them, and some of the brethren from Joppa accompanied him. ²⁴ And the next day they entered into Caesarea. Now Cornelius was expecting them, having called together his relations and nearest friends. ²⁵ And as Peter was entering, Cornelius met him, and falling at his feet, paid him homage. ²⁶ But Peter raised him up, saying, Arise; I also myself am a man. ²⁷ And conversing with him, he entered, and found many assembled together. ²⁸ And he said unto them, Ye know how contrary it is to established usage, for a man who is a Jew to associate with or visit one of another nation; but God hath shewed me to call no man common or unclean. ²⁹ Wherefore also without a word, I came when invited: I beg to know therefore for what purpose ye have sent for me? ³⁰ Then Cornelius said, Four days ago I was fasting till this hour; and at the ninth hour I was praying in my house, and, lo! a man stood before me in shining apparel, ³¹ and said, Cornelius, thy prayer is heard, and thy alms are remembered before God. ³² Send therefore to Joppa, and invite Simon, whose surname is Peter, to come to thee; he lodgeth in the house of Simon the tanner, near the sea: who, when he is come will talk with thee.

⁵ I was in the city of Joppa praying and I saw in a trance a vision, a certain vessel descending as a vast sheet let down from heaven by its four corners; and it came close to me: ⁶ on which looking attentively, I perceived, and saw the quadrupeds of the earth, and the wild beasts, and the reptiles, and the birds of the air. ⁷ Then I heard a voice saying to me, Rise, Peter; slay and eat. ⁸ But I said, By no means, Lord: for never yet hath any thing common or unclean entered into my mouth. ⁹ But the voice replied the second time from heaven, What God hath cleansed, call not thou common. ¹⁰ Now this was repeated thrice: and the whole withdrawn again into heaven. ¹¹ And, lo! immediately three men stood before the house where I was, sent from Caesarea unto me. ¹² And the Spirit bade me go with them, making no hesitation. But with me went also these six brethren, and we entered into the man's house:

¹⁸ praying at every opportunity with all prayer and supplication in Spirit, and watching for this very purpose with perseverance and intercession for all the saints;

⁸ I will then that men pray in every place, lifting up holy hands without wrath or doubting:

² And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, afterwards he became hungry.

¹ AT that time Jesus walked through corn-fields on a sabbath-day; and his disciples were hungry, and began to pluck the ears of corn, and to eat. ² But when the Pharisees saw it, they said to him, Behold, thy disciples do a thing that it is not lawful to do on the sabbath. ³ And he said unto them, Have ye not read what David did, when he was hungry, and they who were with him?

¹⁸ Now in the morning, when returning into the city, he was hungry:

¹⁷ Now it came to pass, that, when I had returned to Jerusalem, and was praying in the temple, that I was in a trance;

² I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago, (whether in the body I know not, or whether out of the body I know not: God knoweth;) such a one was caught up unto the third heavens. ³ And I knew such a man, (whether in the body or out of the body I know not: God knoweth,) ⁴ that he was caught up into paradise, and heard ineffable words, which it is not permitted to man to speak.

¹⁰ I was [rapt] in spirit on the Lord's day, and heard behind me a great voice as of a trumpet,

² And immediately I was [rapt] in spirit: and, lo! a throne was placed in heaven, and upon the throne a person sitting. ³ And he that sat was in appearance like a stone of jasper and sardine: and a rainbow encircled the throne, like in hue to an emerald.

¹¹ And I say unto you, That many shall come from the east and from the west, and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven.

⁴⁷ Again, the kingdom of heaven is like to a net cast into the sea, and colleting fish of every kind: ⁴⁸ which, when it was full, they drew to the beach, and sitting down, selected the good into baskets, but cast those of a bad kind away.

²¹ Now it came to pass, at the time when John was baptising all the people, that Jesus also was baptised, and as he prayed, the heaven was opened,

⁵¹ And he saith to him, Verily, verily, I tell you, From henceforth ye shall see heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man.

⁵² and not for that nation only, but that he should collect into one body the children of God wherever dispersed.

³² And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.

⁵⁶ and he said, Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing at the right hand of God.

¹⁶ For I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God for salvation to every one who believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

²⁹ Is he the God of the Jews only, and is he not also of the Gentiles? Yes, verily, of the Gentiles also: ³⁰ since it is one God who will justify the circumcision by faith, and the uncircumcision through faith. ³¹ Do we then abolish the law through faith? God forbid: but on the contrary, we give the law stability.

⁴ who are Israelites; whose is the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the gift of the law, and the sacred service, and the promises;

⁹ and that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy; as it is written, "For this cause will I confess unto thee among the Gentiles, and sing unto thy name." ¹⁰ And again he saith, "Rejoice, ye Gentiles, with his people." ¹¹ And again, "Praise the Lord, all ye nations, and laud him, all ye people." ¹² And again Isaiah saith, "There shall be a root of Jesse, and he that ariseth to reign over the Gentiles, in him shall the Gentiles trust."

²⁵ Now to him that is able to stablish you according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, agreeable to the revelation of the mystery; which was concealed from all former ages, ²⁶ but is now made manifest, and by the prophetical scriptures, according to the commandment of the eternal God, notified to all the Gentiles to bring them to the obedience of faith:

¹⁵ We who are Jews by descent, and not sinners sprung from Gentiles,

²⁸ There is no more Jew or Gentile, there is no more slave or freeman, there is no more male or female: but ye are all one in Christ Jesus.

¹⁰ at the dispensation of the fulness of the appointed times to gather together under one head all things in Christ, whether they be things in heaven or things in earth, in him:

⁶ that the Gentiles should be co-heirs, and of the same body, and sharers with them of his promise in Christ by the Gospel:

¹¹ Where there is no difference whether a man be Greek or Jew, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbarian or Scythian, slave or freeman: but Christ is all and in all.

¹ AFTER these things I beheld, and, lo! a door was opened in heaven, and a voice, the first which I heard, as of a trumpet, speaking to me, said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee what things will be after these.

¹⁹ And the temple of God was opened in the heaven, and there appeared the ark of his covenant in his temple: and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunders, and earthquake, and a great hail.

¹¹ And I saw heaven opened, and lo a white horse; and he that sat upon it, is called Faithful and True, and with righteousness doth he judge and make war.

³⁷ Now on the last day, the great day of the feast, Jesus stood up and spake aloud, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me and drink.

⁹ Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor sodomites, ¹⁰ nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. ¹¹ Yet such were some of you: but ye have been washed, but ye have been sanctified, but ye have been justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the spirit of our God.

³¹ In the mean time his disciples invited him, saying, Rabbi, eat. ³² But he said to them, I have meat to eat that ye know not of. ³³ Then said his disciples to each other, Hath any person brought him ought to eat? ³⁴ Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work.

¹⁰ and he grew very hungry, and desired something to eat: but whilst they were getting it ready, a sacred ecstacy fell upon him.

²² And Peter taking him aside, began to chide him, saying, Mercy on thee, Lord! this shall never be thy case.

⁹ But the provident replied, saying, No; lest there be not a sufficiency for us and you: but go rather to those who sell, and buy for yourselves.

⁶⁰ And his mother spake and said, No; but he shall be called John.

⁵ Then said he, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou art persecuting: It is difficult for thee to kick against the goads.

²⁸ And he said unto them, Ye know how contrary it is to established usage, for a man who is a Jew to associate with or visit one of another nation; but God hath shewed me to call no man common or unclean.

¹¹ not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but what cometh out of the mouth, that defileth the man.

¹⁹ because it entereth not into his heart, but into his belly, and goeth out into the vault, carrying off all the impurities of the food.

⁹ But the voice replied the second time from heaven, What God hath cleansed, call not thou common.

⁹ and made no difference betwixt either us or them, purifying their hearts by faith.

²⁰ but that we write to them, that they abstain from pollutions of idol [sacrifices], and from whoredom, and from what is strangled, and from blood.

²⁹ that ye abstain from eating whatever is sacrificed to idols, and from blood, and from what is strangled, and from whoredom: from which things carefully preserving yourselves, ye shall do well. Farewell.

¹⁴ I know, and am convinced by the Lord Jesus, that there is nothing unclean of itself; but to him who thinketh any thing to be unclean, to him it is unclean.

²⁰ For the sake of meat destroy not the work of God. All things indeed are clean; but it is an evil thing for a man to eat, giving offence.

²⁵ Every thing which is sold in the shambles eat, asking no question for conscience sake;

¹² For before certain persons came from James, he did eat with the Gentiles, but when they were come, he withdrew, and separated himself, fearing those of the circumcision. ¹³ And the other Jews were guilty of the same dissimulation with him, so that even Barnabas was carried away by their hypocrisy.

³ prohibiting marriage, and enjoining abstinence from particular meats, which God created to be received with thanksgiving by the faithful, and those who acknowledge the truth. ⁴ For every creature of God is good, and none to be rejected, if used with thanksgiving: ⁵ for it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.

¹⁵ All things indeed are clean to the clean: but to the defiled and to the unbelievers there is nothing clean; but their very mind and conscience are defiled.

⁹ which figurative representation [continues] unto the present time, according to which both gifts and sacrifices are offered, which cannot, with respect to conscience, make him perfect who performs the services, ¹⁰ as they consist only of meats, and drinks, and different ablutions, and corporal services, until the appointed time of perfect reformation.

¹⁴ And I saw, and, lo! a white cloud, and upon the cloud sat one like to a son of man, having on his head a golden crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle. ¹⁵ And anther angel came forth out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to him that sat upon the cloud, Put in thy sickle, and reap: for the hour is come for thee to reap; because the harvest of the earth is fully ripe. ¹⁶ And he who sat on the cloud thrust in his sickle upon the earth, and the earth was reaped. ¹⁷ And another angel came forth out of the temple which is in heaven, having also himself a sharp sickle.

²⁰ And the wine-press was trodden without the city, and blood issued from the wine-press, as high as the horses' bridles, for the space of a thousand and six hundred furlongs.

¹⁷ He saith to him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said to him, Lord, thou knowest all things, thou knowest that I love thee! Jesus saith to him, Feed my sheep.

¹ THIS third time I am coming to you: by the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every charge be established.

¹² When therefore he had washed their feet, and taken his garments, and sat down again, he said unto them, Know ye what I have done unto you?

¹² And they were all amazed, and much perplexed, and knew not what to think, saying one to another, What can this mean?

²⁴ Now when they heard these words, both the priest and captain of the temple and the chief priests were in the utmost perplexity concerning these things, what could be the meaning of it.

³ He saw in a vision evidently about the ninth hour of the day an angel of God coming to him, and saying to him, Cornelius.

⁷ But when the angel departed who spake to Cornelius, he called two of his domestics, and a pious soldier, persons who constantly were in attendance upon him; ⁸ and relating all things to them, sent them to Joppa. ⁹ Then the next morning, as they were on their journey, and drew near to the city, Peter went up to the flat roof to pray about the sixth hour: ¹⁰ and he grew very hungry, and desired something to eat: but whilst they were getting it ready, a sacred ecstacy fell upon him. ¹¹ And he saw heaven opened, and there descended to him a certain vessel, as a great sheet with chains at the four corners, and resting upon the earth: ¹² in which were all the quadrupeds of the earth, and wild beasts, and reptiles, and birds of the air. ¹³ And there came a voice to him, Rise, Peter; slay and eat. ¹⁴ But Peter said, By no means, Lord for I have never at any time eaten of any thing common or unclean. ¹⁵ And the voice again a second time came to him, What God hath cleansed, call not thou unclean. ¹⁶ This was thrice repeated: and the vessel was again taken up into heaven. ¹⁷ But while Peter was perplexed in himself what was meant by the vision which he had seen, then, behold! the men which had been sent by Cornelius having inquired out the house of Simon, stood before the door, ¹⁸ and calling, asked if Simon, surnamed Peter, lodged there. ¹⁹ But while Peter was musing upon the vision, the Spirit said to him, Lo! three men are inquiring after thee.

²⁰ But being in doubt respecting a question of this sort, I demanded if he would go to Jerusalem, and there be judged of these things.

¹¹ investigating to what time and to what conjuncture the Spirit of Christ in them pointed, when predicting the sufferings coming upon Christ, and the glories subsequent thereto.

⁵ And now send men to Joppa, and inquire for Simon, who is surnamed Peter: ⁶ he lodgeth with one Simon a tanner, whose house is near the sea: this man will tell thee what thou must do.

¹¹ And, lo! immediately three men stood before the house where I was, sent from Caesarea unto me.

¹³ But when he is come, the Spirit of truth, he will conduct you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever things he shall hear, he shall speak: and he will declare to you the things that shall come hereafter.

²⁹ Then said the Spirit to Philip, Go up, and approach close to that chariot.

¹² And the Spirit bade me go with them, making no hesitation. But with me went also these six brethren, and we entered into the man's house:

² And as they were employed in the ministry, and kept a fast, the Holy Ghost said, Set apart for me now both Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them.

⁶ So passing through Phrygia and the region of Galatia, being forbidden by the Holy Ghost to speak the word in Asia, ⁷ coming as far as Mysia, they made an effort to go unto Bythinia: but the Spirit permitted them not.

⁴ And finding disciples, we tarried there seven days: and they said to Paul, by the Spirit, that he should not go up unto Jerusalem.

¹¹ but all these things worketh that one and the same Spirit, distributing peculiar gifts to every one even as he wills.

¹ NOW the Spirit speaketh expresly, that in the latter days some will apostatise from the faith, giving heed to spirits of delusion, and doctrines of devils;

¹⁵ And he said unto them, Go into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.

²⁶ Now the angel of the Lord spake to Philip, saying, Arise, and go towards the south, on the road which leads down from Jerusalem to Gaza: it is a wilderness.

¹⁵ But the Lord said unto him, Go: for this man is an elect vessel for me, to bear my name before nations, and kings, and the children of Israel:

¹⁷ Then went Ananias, and entered into the house; and laying his hands upon him, said, Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus, who was seen by thee in the way that thou camest, hath sent me, that thou mightest recover thy sight, and be filled with the Holy Ghost.

⁴ They then being sent forth indeed by the Holy Ghost, went down to Seleucia; and from thence sailed to Cyprus.

⁷ When after much dispute, Peter arose, and said unto them, Men and brethren, ye know that a considerable time ago God chose among us, by my mouth, that the Gentiles should hear the gospel-word, and believe. ⁸ And God, who is the discerner of the heart, bore them witness, giving them the Holy Ghost, even as to us; ⁹ and made no difference betwixt either us or them, purifying their hearts by faith.

⁵¹ And Jesus addressing him, said, What dost thou wish that I should do for thee? And the blind man said to him, Rabboni, that I may receive my sight!

³⁸ Then Jesus turned about, and seeing them following, saith to them, What are ye seeking? They said unto him, Rabbi (which signifies, when translated, Master), where is thy abode? ³⁹ He saith unto them, Come and see. They came and saw where he abode, and continued with him that day: and it was about the tenth hour.

⁴ Jesus therefore, conscious of all things that were coming upon him, going forward, said to them, Whom are ye seeking? ⁵ They answered him, Jesus the Nazarean. Jesus saith unto them, I am he. Then stood also Judas, who betrayed him, with these men. ⁶ As he then spake to them, I am he, they retreated backward, and fell flat on the ground. ⁷ Again therefore he demanded of them, Whom seek ye? Then they said, Jesus the Nazarean. ⁸ Jesus answered, I told you that I am he: if therefore ye are seeking me, permit these to go away:

²⁹ Wherefore also without a word, I came when invited: I beg to know therefore for what purpose ye have sent for me?

¹⁹ Then Joseph her husband being a just man, and not willing to expose her publicly, designed to put her away privately.

²⁰ for Herod feared John, knowing him to be a righteous and holy man; and paid great attention to him and when he heard him, did many things, and heard him with delight.

³⁸ For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, before this adulterous and sinful generation; of him will the Son of man also be ashamed, when he shall come in the glory of his Father, with the holy angels.

⁵⁰ And lo! a man named Joseph, being a member of the council, a good man, and a just;

²⁴ Verily, verily, I say unto you, That he that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment; but is passed from death into life.

⁶³ The Spirit is the life-giving power; the flesh contributeth nothing: the declarations which I make to you, they are spirit, and they are life.

⁶⁸ Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, unto whom shall we go from thee? thou hast the words of eternal life.

²⁰ Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that receiveth whomsoever I shall send, receiveth me; and he that receiveth me, receiveth him that sent me.

⁸ For the declarations which thou gavest to me I have delivered to them; and they have received them, and have known assuredly that I came out from thee, and they have believed that thou hast sent me.

²⁰ And not for them do I make request only, but also for those who shall believe in me through their word;

³ Therefore, brethren, do ye look out for seven men from among yourselves, the best approved, full of the Holy Ghost and wisdom, whom we may appoint to superintend this business.

² a man of piety, and who feared God with all his house, giving much alms to the people, and praying to God continually.

⁶ he lodgeth with one Simon a tanner, whose house is near the sea: this man will tell thee what thou must do.

¹⁴ who will speak words to thee, by which thou mayest be saved, and thy house.

¹⁵ and having hope in God, the same which they also profess to look for, that there shall be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and of the unjust.

¹⁷ For the righteousness of God by faith is therein revealed for belief; as it is written, "Now the just by faith shall live."

¹⁷ Faith then cometh by report, but the report by the word of God. ¹⁸ But I say, Have they not heard? Yea verily, "the sound of their voice is gone forth into all the earth, and their words unto the ends of the world."

¹⁸ But all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;

⁷ He must also have a fair character from those who are without, that he may not fall into reproach, and into the snare of the devil.

³⁸ "The just man then will live by faith;" and if he draw back, my soul shall have no delight in him.

² for thereby the ancients obtained a testimony of approbation.

²³ and to the general assembly and church of the first-born registered in the heavens, and to God the judge of all, and to the spirits of just men perfected,

² to remember the words, that have been spoken aforetime by the holy prophets, and the injunction of us the apostles of the Lord and Saviour:

¹² Demetrius hath a good testimony from all men, and from the truth itself: and we also bear our testimony, and ye know that our testimony is true.

⁴² And it was known through all Joppa; and many believed on the Lord.

⁴⁵ And they of the circumcision who were believers, as many as came with Peter, were amazed, because even on the Gentiles the gift of the holy Ghost was poured out.

²¹ providing what is fair, not only before the Lord, but also before men.

² Forget not to exercise hospitality: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.

⁹ Exercise hospitality one towards another without grudgings.

⁹ And Jesus passing from thence, saw a man sitting at the custom house, called Matthew: and saith unto him, Follow me. And he arose and followed him. ¹⁰ And it came to pass, as he sat in his house, many tax-gatherers and sinners came, and sat down at table with Jesus and his disciples.

¹⁹ But Jesus did not permit him, but said to him, Go to thine house, and to thy friends, and tell them how great things the Lord hath done for thee, and hath had compassion on thee. ²⁰ And he went out, and began to publish in Decapolis, what great things Jesus had done for him: and all men marvelled.

²⁹ And Levi made him a great entertainment at his house and there was a great number of publicans and others, sitting at table with them.

¹ IN the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. ² He was in the beginning with God. ³ All things were made by him; and without him was not one thing made that was made.

⁴¹ He first finds his own brother Simon, and saith to him, We have found the Messiah (which is, being translated, the Christ). ⁴² And he brought him to Jesus. Then Jesus looking on him, said, Thou art Simon the son of Jonas: thou shalt be called Cephas, which, interpreted [in Greek], is Petros, a Rock. ⁴³ The next day Jesus resolved to go into Galilee, and he findeth Philip, and saith to him, Follow me. ⁴⁴ Now Philip was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter. ⁴⁵ Philip findeth Nathaniel, and saith to him, We have found him whom Moses in the law has described, and the prophets, Jesus the son of Joseph, who is of Nazareth. ⁴⁶ And Nathaniel said to him, Can any thing good come out of Nazareth? Philip saith to him, Come and see. ⁴⁷ Jesus saw Nathaniel coming to him, and saith of him, Behold an Israelite in reality, in whom there is no guile! ⁴⁸ Nathaniel saith unto him, From whence canst thou know me? Jesus answered and said unto him, Before Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig-tree, I saw thee. ⁴⁹ Nathaniel answered and said to him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God; thou art the king of Israel.

²⁸ Then the woman left her pitcher, and went into the city, and said to the men, ²⁹ Come with me; behold a man, who told me all things that I ever did: is not this the Messiah?

² And lo! a leper came and worshipped him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.

³³ And they who were in the vessel, came and worshipped him, saying, Truly thou art the Son of God.

¹¹ But when the multitudes beheld what Paul had done, they lifted up their voice, in the dialect of Lycaonia, saying, The gods in the form of mortals are come down to us. ¹² And they called Barnabas, Jupiter; and Paul, Mercury, because he principally led the discourse. ¹³ Then the priest of Jupiter, who was the presiding deity of their city, brought bulls and garlands unto the gates of the city, and intended to offer a sacrifice with the people.

¹⁰ And I fell down before his feet to worship him: and he said unto me, See thou dost not so: I am thy fellow-servant, and of thy brethren who hold the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the spirit of prophecy is the testimony of Jesus.

⁸ And I John saw and heard these things. And when I had heard and seen, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel who shewed me these things. ⁹ And he said to me, See thou do it not; for I am a fellow-servant of thine, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of those who observe the words of this book: worship God.

¹⁰ Then saith Jesus unto him, Avaunt Satan! for it is written, "Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and to him only thou pay divine adoration."

¹⁴ But when the apostles, Barnabas and Paul, heard it, they rent their garments, and rushed into the crowd, crying out, ¹⁵ and saying, Sirs, why do ye these things? We too are mortals subject to the same infirmities with you; preaching to you the gospel, that ye should turn from these vain things unto the living God, who made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all things which are therein:

³ Let no man deceive you in any way: because that cannot be till the apostasy come first, and the man of sin appear, the son of perdition, ⁴ who opposeth himself against, and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or is the object of adoration; so that he in the temple of God sitteth as God, exhibiting himself in public that he is God.

⁸ And all the inhabitants who dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.

³⁵ Do ye not say, That yet there are four months, and then the harvest cometh? behold, I tell you, lift up your eyes, and look upon the fields; for they are now white for harvest.

²⁴ And the next day they entered into Caesarea. Now Cornelius was expecting them, having called together his relations and nearest friends.

²⁷ So when they arrived they called the church together, and related what great things God had done by them, and that he had opened to the heathen the door of faith.

⁹ for there is opened to me a great door, and effectual, and there are many adversaries.

¹² But when I came to Troas to preach the Gospel of Christ, though a door was opened unto me by the Lord,

³ praying also at the same time for us, that God may open to us a door for the word, that I may speak the mystery of Christ, for which I am also in chains:

¹¹ The Pharisee, standing by himself, made this prayer: God, I thank thee, that I am not as the rest of mankind, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or as this tax-gatherer.

⁹ The Samaritan woman therefore saith to him, How canst thou, a Jew, ask of me, who am a Samaritan woman, to drink? for Jews avoid all intercourse with Samaritans.

²⁷ And upon this came his disciples, and wondered that he talked with the woman: yet no one said, What art thou seeking? or, Why art thou talking with her?

²⁸ Then led they Jesus from Caiaphas to the praetorium: and it was early: and they themselves went not into the praetorium, that they should not be defiled; but that they might eat the passover.

¹⁴ But Peter said, By no means, Lord for I have never at any time eaten of any thing common or unclean. ¹⁵ And the voice again a second time came to him, What God hath cleansed, call not thou unclean.

³⁴ Then Peter opening his mouth, said, In truth I perceive that God is not a respecter of persons: ³⁵ but in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is acceptable to him.

² And when Peter went up to Jerusalem, they of the circumcision disputed with him, ³ saying, Thou hast gone in to men holding uncircumcision, and hast eaten with them.

²¹ And he said to me, Go: for I will send thee forth to the Gentiles afar off. ²² And they gave him audience to this sentence, and lifted up their voice, saying, Away with such a fellow from the earth: for it is not fit that he should live.

¹² For before certain persons came from James, he did eat with the Gentiles, but when they were come, he withdrew, and separated himself, fearing those of the circumcision. ¹³ And the other Jews were guilty of the same dissimulation with him, so that even Barnabas was carried away by their hypocrisy. ¹⁴ But when I saw that they walked not directly according to the truth of the gospel, I said to Peter before them all, If thou, being a Jew, livest as the Gentiles, and not as do the Jews, why compellest thou the Gentiles to judaize?

⁶ that the Gentiles should be co-heirs, and of the same body, and sharers with them of his promise in Christ by the Gospel: ⁷ of which I am made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of God, which was given unto me by the effectual working of his power.

¹⁹ But while Peter was musing upon the vision, the Spirit said to him, Lo! three men are inquiring after thee. ²⁰ Arise then, and go down, and go with them, entertaining no doubt, for I have sent them.

¹⁵ but sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be always ready with your reply to every man who demands a reason respecting the hope which is in you with meekness and fear:

³ His aspect was as lightning, and his raiment white as snow.

⁶ But he saith unto them, Be not affrighted, ye seek Jesus the Nazarean, who was crucified; he is risen, he is not here: behold the place where they laid him.

⁴ And it came to pass, as they were in the greatest perplexity concerning this matter, then behold, two men stood by them in refulgent garments:

¹⁰ And as they looked up earnestly into the heaven, while he was passing, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel;

⁷ But when the angel departed who spake to Cornelius, he called two of his domestics, and a pious soldier, persons who constantly were in attendance upon him; ⁸ and relating all things to them, sent them to Joppa. ⁹ Then the next morning, as they were on their journey, and drew near to the city, Peter went up to the flat roof to pray about the sixth hour:

²³ Then inviting them in, he lodged them there. And the next morning Peter went with them, and some of the brethren from Joppa accompanied him. ²⁴ And the next day they entered into Caesarea. Now Cornelius was expecting them, having called together his relations and nearest friends.

¹³ But the angel said unto him, Fear not, Zacharias: for thy prayer is heard; and thy wife Elisabeth shall bring thee a son, and thou shalt call his name John.

⁸ And when he had taken the book, the four living beings and the four and twenty presbyters prostrated themselves before the lamb, having each harps, and vases of gold, full of perfumes smoaking, which are the prayers of the saints.

³ And another angel came, and stood by the altar, holding a golden censer; and there were given to him many perfumes, to offer with the prayers of all the saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne. ⁴ And the smoke of the perfumes went up with the prayers of the saints, out of the angel's hand before God.

⁴ Whosoever therefore shall humble himself, as this little child, he shall be greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

³⁰ But many, now first, will be the last; and last, who will be the first.

¹⁵ Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall in nowise enter into it.

¹¹ Now these were more liberally minded men than those of Thessalonica, for they received the word with all readiness of mind, daily, examining the Scriptures if these things were really so. ¹² Then many of them truly believed: and of the Grecian proselyte women of respectability, and of the men not a few.

²⁸ Be it known therefore unto you, that to the Gentiles is the salvation of God sent, and they will hear.

¹⁸ Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you thinketh himself a wise man in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise.

¹⁴ And my temptation, which was in my flesh, ye despised not, nor rejected with disgust; but as an angel of God ye received me, even as Christ Jesus himself.

¹³ For this cause do we also give thanks to God unceasingly, because when ye received the word reported by us from God, ye received it not as the word of man, but, as it is in truth, the word of God, which worketh also effectually in you that believe.

¹⁹ Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath.

²¹ Wherefore laying aside all vicious pollution, and the abundance of iniquity, receive with meekness the ingrafted word, which hath power to save your souls.

¹ WHEREFORE putting far away wickedness of every kind, and all deceit, and hypocrisies, and envyings, and all backbitings, ² as new-born babes desire earnestly the unadulterated milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:

² and opening his mouth, he taught them, saying,

¹⁶ And they sent to him their disciples, with the Herodians, saying, Master, we know that thou art true, and teachest the way of God with veracity; and carest for no man, for thou regardest not the person of men:

²¹ And they asked him, saying, Master, we know that thou speakest and teachest rightly, and respectest no man's person, but teachest the way of God in truth:

³⁵ Then Philip opening his mouth, and beginning from that scripture, preached to him Jesus.

¹¹ for there is no acceptance of persons with God.

⁶ But from those who appeared men of the greatest importance, (what sort of men soever they were it maketh no difference to me: God accepteth not a man's person;) for these important personages in conference added nothing to me;

⁹ And ye masters, do the same things to them, avoiding menacing language: knowing that you also yourselves have a master in heaven; and there is no respect of persons with him.

¹⁹ and for me that there may be given unto me utterance to open my mouth with boldness, to make known the mystery of the gospel, ²⁰ for which I am an ambassador in bonds; that therein I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.

²⁵ But he that is guilty of injustice shall receive punishment for the wrong he hath done: and there is no respect of persons.

⁴ are you not thus partial among yourselves, and form your decision from bad reasonings?

⁹ but if ye have respect of persons, ye commit sin, and are convicted by the law as transgressors.

¹⁷ And if ye invoke him as Father, who without respect of persons judgeth according to every man's work, conduct yourselves during the time of your sojourning with [jealous] fear:

²⁸ And the angel coming in to her said, All hail! O thou highly favoured one! the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women.

¹³ for the hearers of the law are not righteous before God, but the doers of the law shall be counted righteous;

²⁵ For circumcision indeed is advantageous, if thou practise the law: but if thou art a transgressor of the law, thy circumcision becomes uncircumcision, ²⁶ If then the uncircumcision observe the righteous judgments of the law, shall not his uncircumcision be accounted for circumcision? ²⁷ And the uncircumcision by nature which fulfilleth the law shall condemn thee, who through the letter and circumcision art a transgressor of the law. ²⁸ For not he who is outwardly such, is the Jew; neither is that which is outward in the flesh, circumcision. ²⁹ But he is a Jew who is such inwardly; and circumcision is of the heart, in spirit, not in letter; whose praise is not from men, but from God.

²² the righteousness of God indeed by faith in Jesus Christ unto all and upon all that believe: for there is no difference:

²⁹ Is he the God of the Jews only, and is he not also of the Gentiles? Yes, verily, of the Gentiles also: ³⁰ since it is one God who will justify the circumcision by faith, and the uncircumcision through faith.

¹² For there is no difference between either Jew or Greek: for the same Lord of all is rich to all that call upon him. ¹³ "For every one shall be saved, whosoever calleth on the name of the Lord."

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

¹ HAVING therefore these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all defilement of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.

⁶ to the praise of the glory of his grace, whereby he hath made us acceptable in that beloved one;

¹³ but now in Christ Jesus, ye who formerly were far off, are become nigh by the blood of Christ. ¹⁴ For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of separation, ¹⁵ destroying the enmity in his flesh, even the law of precepts, in ordinances, that he might from the two create in himself one new man, making peace, ¹⁶ and might reconcile them both in one body to God by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby; ¹⁷ and coming, hath preached peace to you who were afar off, and to those who were nigh: ¹⁸ for through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father.

⁶ that the Gentiles should be co-heirs, and of the same body, and sharers with them of his promise in Christ by the Gospel: ⁷ of which I am made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of God, which was given unto me by the effectual working of his power. ⁸ To me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ;

²¹ being subject one to another in the fear of God.

³ For we are the circumcision, who serve God in spirit, and glory in Christ Jesus, and put no confidence in the flesh.

⁶ which is come unto you, as it is also unto all the world; and beareth fruit, as also among you, from the day that ye heard and knew the grace of God in truth;

²³ if ye abide in faith grounded and firm, and never moved aside from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, and which hath been preached to the whole creation which is under heaven, of which I Paul am a minister. ²⁴ Now I rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up in my flesh the measure of afflictions for Christ which remains to be endured for his body, which is the church, ²⁵ of which I am a minister, according to the dispensation of God, which was given me for you to fulfil the ministry of the word of God— ²⁶ the mystery which was hid from ages and from generations, but is now unveiled to his saints; ²⁷ to whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:

⁴ By faith Abel offered unto God a sacrifice of more excellence than Cain, by which he received a testimony that he was a righteous man, God bearing witness upon his gifts: and by this, though dead, he still speaketh. ⁵ By faith Enoch was translated, so as not to see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he was recorded to have been acceptable to God. ⁶ But without faith it is impossible to be acceptable; for he must believe, who cometh unto God, that he exists, and is a rewarder of those who diligently seek him.

²⁹ If ye know that he is righteous, know that every one who practises righteousness is born of him.

⁶ but go rather to the sheep that are lost of the house of Israel.

²⁷ All things are delivered up to me by my Father: and no person knoweth the Son but the Father; neither knoweth any person the Father but the Son, and he to whom the Son is pleased to reveal him.

⁴⁴ "The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit at my right hand, till I put thine enemies as a footstool for thy feet." ⁴⁵ If then David calleth him Lord, how is he his son? ⁴⁶ And no man could answer him a word, neither durst any man, from that day, interrogate him any more.

¹⁸ Then Jesus approaching, spake to them, saying, All power is given me in heaven and upon earth.

¹⁰ And the angel said unto them, Be not affrighted: for, behold, I bring you tidings of great joy, which shall be for all the people. ¹¹ Because this day there is born for you a Saviour, which is Messiah, the Lord, in the city of David. ¹² And this shall be a sign for you; Ye shall find the babe in swaddling-clothes, lying in a manger. ¹³ And suddenly there appeared with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host, praising God, and saying, ¹⁴ Glory in the highest heavens to God! and upon earth, peace! towards men complacence.

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

³⁵ The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into his hand. ³⁶ He that believeth on the Son hath life eternal: and he that believeth not on the Son shall not see life: but the wrath of God abideth upon him.

²³ in order that all may honour the Son, just as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son, doth not honour the Father who sent him. ²⁴ Verily, verily, I say unto you, That he that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment; but is passed from death into life. ²⁵ Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, yea, it is now, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live. ²⁶ For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son also to have life in himself; ²⁷ and hath given him authority also to execute judgment, because he is the Son of man. ²⁸ Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in which all who are in the graves shall hear his voice, ²⁹ and they shall come forth; they who have done good actions to the resurrection of life; and they who have been guilty of foul practices, to the resurrection of damnation.

³⁶ Let all the house of Israel therefore know assuredly, that God hath made him Lord and Messiah, even that very Jesus whom ye crucified.

³⁸ Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptised every one of you into the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. ³⁹ For the promise is to you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off; even as many as the Lord our God shall call.

²⁵ Ye are the children of the prophets, and of the covenant which God made with our fathers, saying unto Abraham, And "in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed." ²⁶ Unto you in the first instance, hath God, after raising up his Son Jesus, sent him to bless you, to the end that every one of you should turn away from your iniquities.

³¹ Him hath God exalted at his right hand to be a Prince and a Saviour, to give repentance unto Israel, and remission of sins.

¹⁹ Now those also who were dispersed by the persecution which arose on account of Stephen passed on as far as Phenice, and Cyprus, and Antioch, speaking the word to no man except the Jews only.

³² And we preach to you the promise made to our fathers;

⁴⁶ Then Paul and Barnabas speaking with undaunted boldness, said, It was necessary that the word of God should be first spoken unto you: but since ye have thrust it from you, and judged yourselves not worthy of eternal life, lo! we turn to the Gentiles.

¹¹ For the scripture saith, "Every one who believeth in him shall not be confounded."

⁹ For to this end Christ both died, and rose again, and revived, that he might be the Lord both of the dead and of the living.

²⁷ For he hath put all things under his feet. But when he saith, that all things are put under him, it is evident that there is an exception of him, who subjected all things to him.

⁴⁷ The first man was of the earth, earthly; the second man was the Lord from heaven.

¹⁸ But all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; ¹⁹ namely, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing to them their offences: and hath committed to us the word of reconciliation. ²⁰ Therefore we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God exhorted you by us; we entreat you for Christ's sake, be ye reconciled to God. ²¹ For he hath made him, who knew no sin, to be a sin offering for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in him.

²⁰ which he displayed in Christ when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly regions, ²¹ far above all principality, and authority, and power, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come; ²² and hath put all things under his feet, and hath appointed him head over all to the church, ²³ which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all.

⁵ one Lord, one faith, one baptism, ⁶ one God, and father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all. ⁷ But to every one of us hath the grace been given, according to the measure of the gift of Christ.

¹¹ and every tongue should confess that the Lord Jesus [is] Messiah, to the glory of God the Father.

¹⁵ Who is the image of the invisible God, the prime author of all creation: ¹⁶ for by him were all things created, celestial and terrestrial, visible or invisible, whether thrones, or dominations, or principalities, or powers, all were created by him, and for him: ¹⁷ and he is before all, and by him all things subsist. ¹⁸ And he is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning, the first begotten from the dead, that he might be in all things pre-eminent.

²⁰ and by him to reconcile all things to himself, making peace by the blood of his cross: by him, I say, whether they be things on earth, or things in the heavens.

² in these last days hath spoken to us by a Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;

⁶ And again, when he introduces the first-begotten into the world, he saith, "Let all the angels of God also worship him." ⁷ And concerning the angels indeed he thus speaks: "Who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministering servants a flame of fire." ⁸ But to the Son, "Thy throne, O God, is unto eternity; a sceptre of rectitude is the sceptre of thy kingdom. ⁹ Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of exultation above those who partake with thee." ¹⁰ "And thou from the beginning, O Lord, hast founded the earth, and the heavens are the works of thine hands. ¹¹ They will be destroyed, but thou remainest; and they all will grow old as a garment, ¹² and as a cloak thou wilt wrap them up, and they will undergo a change: but thou art the same, and thy years will never end."

² to whom also Abraham gave a tenth share of all the spoil: being, as the interpretation of his name imports, first, King of righteousness, and then also King of Salem, that is, King of peace: ³ without father, without mother, without genealogy, having neither beginning of days nor end of life, but in exact resemblance with the Son of God, abideth a priest for ever.

²⁰ Now the God of peace, who brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, the great pastor of the sheep, by the blood of the everlasting testament,

²² who is at the right hand of God, gone into heaven, angels and dominations and powers being put in subjection under him.

⁵ and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, and first-born from the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth: to him who loved us, and washed us from our sins by his blood,

¹⁸ and I am the living one, though I was dead and lo! I am alive for evermore, Amen; and I hold the keys of hell and of death.

¹⁴ They shall make war against the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: because he is Lord of lords, and King of kings and they that are with him, are called, and elect, and faithful.

¹⁶ And he hath upon his vesture and upon his thigh this name written, king of kings, and lord of lords.

¹ THEN in those days came John the Baptist, preaching in the desert country of Judea, ² and saying, Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is nigh. ³ For this is the person spoken of by Isaiah the prophet, saying, "The voice of one crying aloud in the wilderness, Prepare the way of the Lord, make his paths strait."

¹² But when Jesus heard that John was cast into prison, he retired into Galilee; ¹³ and leaving Nazareth, he came and resided at Capernaum, a maritime city, on the confines of Zebulun and Nephthali: ¹⁴ that what was spoken by the prophet Isaiah might be fulfilled, saying, ¹⁵ "The land of Zabulun, and the land of Naphthali, the road to the sea, beyond Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles; ¹⁶ the people who sat in darkness saw a great light; and on those who sat in the region and shadow of death, even on them hath the light arisen." ¹⁷ From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is approaching.

¹ THE beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God; ² as it is written in the prophets; "Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, he shall prepare thy way before thee. ³ The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare the way of the Lord, make his paths strait." ⁴ John was baptising in the wilderness, and preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins. ⁵ And all the country of Judea went out to him, and they of Jerusalem, and were all baptised by him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins.

¹⁴ But after John was delivered up, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God: ¹⁵ and saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God draweth nigh: repent, and believe the gospel.

¹⁴ And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee: and a report went out into all the region round about concerning him.

⁵ But they were urgent, saying, He stirreth up the people, teaching through all Judea, beginning from Galilee even to this place.

¹ AS soon then as the Lord knew that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus made and baptised more disciples than John ² (though Jesus himself did not baptise, but his disciples), ³ he left Judea, and went again into Galilee.

²² beginning from his baptism by John, until the day in which he was taken up from us, must there be chosen with us a witness of his resurrection, even one of these.

²² Men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus the Nazarean, a man from God, pointed out to you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as yourselves also know:

²⁴ John having preached before his first coming the baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel. ²⁵ But as John was finishing his course, he said, Whom do ye suppose me to be? I am not [the Messiah]. But, behold! he is coming after me, the sandals of whose feet I am not worthy to loose.

²⁶ For the king is well acquainted with these things, before whom also I speak with the greatest freedom. For I am persuaded that none of these events have escaped his notice; for this thing was not done in a corner.

²² But we think it highly proper to hear from thee what thy sentiments are; for indeed as to this sect, it is well known to us that everywhere it meets with opposition.

²³ And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every disease and every malady among the people. ²⁴ And there went out a report of him into all Syria: and they brought unto him all who had illness, the afflicted with various diseases and painful complaints, and the demoniacs, and lunatics, and paralytics; and he healed them. ²⁵ And great multitudes followed him from Galilee, and Decapolis, and Jerusalem, and Judea, and from beyond Jordan.

³⁵ And Jesus took a circuit through all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of disease, and every malady among the people.

¹⁵ But Jesus knew it, and retired from thence, and great multitudes followed him, and he healed them all,

²⁸ But if I by the Spirit of God cast out the devils, then truly the kingdom of God is come unto you.

²¹ And going forth thence, Jesus retired into the coasts of Tyre and Sidon. ²² And lo! a woman of Canaan coming out of these coasts, cried aloud, saying to him, Have mercy on me, Lord, Son of David: my daughter is a grievous demoniac. ²³ But he replied not a word to her. Then his disciples came and intreated him, saying, Send her away; for she is crying aloud after us. ²⁴ But he said in reply, I am not sent, save only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. ²⁵ Then she came, and worshiped him, saying, Lord, help me! ²⁶ But he answering said, It is not proper to take the children's bread and throw it to the dogs. ²⁷ And she said, True, Lord: yet even the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their master's table. ²⁸ Then Jesus answering said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith! be it unto thee even as thou desirest. And her daughter was cured from that hour. ²⁹ And departing thence, Jesus went to the sea-side of Galilee; and ascending a mountain, he sat down there. ³⁰ And great multitudes came to him, bringing with them the lame, blind, dumb, cripples, and many others, and cast them down at the feet of Jesus; and he cured them all: ³¹ insomuch that the multitude marvelled when they saw the dumb speaking, the cripples sound, the lame walking, and the blind restored to sight: and they glorified the God of Israel.

³⁸ And he said unto them, Let us go into the neighbouring towns, that I may preach there also; for unto this purpose came I forth. ³⁹ And he was preaching in their synagogues, through all Galilee, and casting out devils.

⁷ And Jesus retired with his disciples to the sea side; and a great multitude from Galilee followed him, and from Judea, ⁸ and from Jerusalem, and from Idumea, and from the farther side of Jordan; and they around Tyre and Sidon, a vast multitude, when they heard what wonders he did, came unto him. ⁹ And he spoke to his disciples that a little boat should be ready for him, because of the crowd, lest they should press upon him: ¹⁰ for he healed many; insomuch, that they thronged in upon him, that they might touch him, as many as had afflictive diseases. ¹¹ And the unclean spirits, when they beheld him, fell down before him, and cried out saying, Thou art the Son of God.

¹³ And immediately Jesus permitted them. And the unclean spirits going forth, entered into the swine; and the herd rushed violently down a precipice into the sea (they were about two thousand), and were suffocated in the sea. ¹⁴ Then the swineherds fled, and carried the tidings into the city and into the country. And they went out to see what was done. ¹⁵ And they came to Jesus, and saw the demoniac that had the legion, seated and clothed, and in his sound mind: and they were afraid.

⁶ And he marvelled at their infidelity. And he went about the villages around, teaching.

⁵⁴ And when they came out of the vessel, immediately perceiving him, ⁵⁵ running through all parts of that country, they began to carry about on couches those who were afflicted with diseases, wherever they heard that he was. ⁵⁶ And wherever they entered into villages or cities, or country places, they laid the sick in the streets, and besought him that they might touch, if but the fringe on his garment; and as many as touched it, were cured.

²⁹ And he said unto her, For this speech, go home, the devil is gone out of thy daughter. ³⁰ And going to her house, she found the devil gone out, and her daughter laid on a couch.

²² and the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily form, like a dove, upon him, and a voice came from heaven, saying, Thou art my beloved Son, in thee I am well pleased.

¹⁸ "The spirit of the Lord is upon me, for the work whereunto he hath anointed me; he hath sent me to preach glad tidings to the poor; to heal the contrite in heart; to proclaim liberty to the captives; and restore sight to the blind; to send forth the bruised free from bonds;

³³ And there was in the synagogue a man, who had a spirit of an unclean devil, and he roared out with a great cry, ³⁴ saying, Let us alone; what have we to do with thee, Jesus the Nazarean? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art; the Holy One of God. ³⁵ And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Stop thy mouth, and come out of him. And the devil throwing him down into the midst, came out of him, doing him no injury. ³⁶ And amazement seized on all present, and they spake one to another, saying, What a word is this? for with authority and power he commandeth the unclean spirits, and they come out.

¹⁰ And they who were sent, on their return to the house, found the servant who was sick in perfect health. ¹¹ And it came to pass the next day, that he went into a city called Nain; and a considerable number of his disciples went with him, and a vast multitude. ¹² And as he drew near the gate of the city, behold, a dead man was carrying out, an only son to his mother, and she a widow; and a great concourse of the city was with her. ¹³ And when Jesus saw her, he was moved with compassion for her, and said unto her, Weep not. ¹⁴ And approaching, he touched the bier: and the bearers stood still; and he said, Young man, I say to thee, Arise. ¹⁵ And the dead man sat up, and began to speak: and he delivered him to his mother. ¹⁶ And fear fell on all, and they glorified God, saying, That a great prophet is risen up among us, and that God hath looked down with mercy on his people. ¹⁷ And this account respecting him went abroad through all Judea, and all the region adjacent.

²¹ And in that very hour he cured many of diseases and acute complaints, and evil spirits; and to many blind persons he gave sight. ²² And Jesus addressing them, said, Go, tell John what things ye have seen and heard: that the blind recover sight, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, the poor have the gospel preached unto them. ²³ And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended at me.

⁴² And while he was yet approaching the devil threw him down, and violently convulsed him. Then Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and cured the child; and restored him to his father.

⁵⁶ for the Son of man came not to destroy men's lives, but to preserve them. And he proceeded to another village.

² this man came to Jesus in the night, and said to him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles which thou dost, unless God be with him.

³⁴ For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God hath not given the Spirit by measure unto him.

²⁷ Labour not for the meat which is perishable, but for that meat which endureth unto life eternal, which the Son of man will give you: for him hath the Father sealed, even God.

³² Jesus said unto them, Many good works have I shewed you from my Father; for which work of these are ye going to stone me?

³⁶ do ye say of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest because I said, I am the Son of God? ³⁷ If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not. ³⁸ But if I do, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know, and believe, that the Father is in me, and I in him.

³² Behold, the hour is coming, yea, it is already come, that ye shall be dispersed, each after his own concerns, and shall leave me alone: though I am not alone, because the Father is with me.

²⁶ The kings of the earth rose up, and the rulers were gathered together against the Lord and against his Messiah. ²⁷ For they have been in truth collected together against thy holy Son Jesus, whom thou hast anointed, even Herod, and Pontius Pilate, with the heathen, and the people of Israel,

⁹ Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of exultation above those who partake with thee."

¹⁴ Seeing therefore that the children have partaken of flesh and blood, he also himself, in exact resemblance, partook of the same, that by death he might destroy him who held the power of death, that is, the devil; ¹⁵ and deliver those, even as many as through their whole life were subjects of bondage to the fear of death.

⁸ Be sober, be vigilant; for your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, prowleth around, seeking whom he may devour:

⁸ he that practises sin is of the devil; for from the beginning the devil sinneth. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.

² exactly as they delivered them to us, who were eve witnesses from the first, and ministers of the word;

⁴⁸ And ye are the witnesses of these things.

²⁷ and ye too shall bear your testimony, because ye have been with me from the beginning.

⁸ But ye shall receive power, when the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses for me, both in Jerusalem, and throughout all Judea, and Samaria, and unto the extremity of the earth.

²³ him, by the destined counsel and foreknowledge of God delivered up, ye have seized, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain: ²⁴ whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death: forasmuch as it was not possible that he should be held thereby.

³² This very Jesus hath God raised up, of which we all are witnesses.

¹⁴ But ye denied the Holy One and the Just, and besought that a man, a murderer, might as a favour be given unto you; ¹⁵ but ye slew the Author of life, whom God raised from the dead: of which we are witnesses.

¹⁰ be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarean, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, by him doth this man stand here sound in your presence.

³⁰ The God of our fathers hath raised up Jesus, whom ye had killed, suspending him on a tree. ³¹ Him hath God exalted at his right hand to be a Prince and a Saviour, to give repentance unto Israel, and remission of sins. ³² And we are witnesses of these things; and the Holy Ghost also, which God hath given to those who obey him.

⁵² Which of the prophets have not your fathers persecuted? and they killed those who before published the tidings of the coming of that Righteous Person; of whom ye have now been the betrayers and murderers:

⁴¹ not to all the people, but to witnesses chosen before of God, even to us, who did eat and drink with him after he was arisen from the dead.

²⁷ For they who dwell at Jerusalem, and their rulers, being ignorant of him, and the words of the prophets that are read every sabbath-day, by condemning him have fulfilled them. ²⁸ And though they found no cause of death in him, they besought Pilate that he might be killed. ²⁹ But when they had finished all things that were written of him, they took him down from the tree, and laid him in a sepulchre.

³¹ and he was seen many days by those who went up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are his witnesses to the people.

¹³ Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, "Cursed is every one who is hanged on a tree:"

²⁴ who himself bore our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead unto sins, might live unto righteousness; "by whose stripes, [even] his, ye were healed."

¹ NOW after the eve of the sabbath, as the light was dawning, towards the first day of the week, Mary Magdalen had come, and the other Mary, to view the sepulchre. ² And, lo! there was a great earthquake; for an angel of the Lord descending from heaven, came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it.

²⁴ whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death: forasmuch as it was not possible that he should be held thereby.

³⁰ But God raised him from the dead: ³¹ and he was seen many days by those who went up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are his witnesses to the people.

³¹ because he hath fixed the day in which he will judge the whole world in righteousness by the man whom he hath appointed; affording evidence of this to all, by raising him from the dead.

⁴ definitively marked out as the Son of God by miracle, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection of the dead:

²⁴ but also for our sakes, to whom it will be imputed, if we believe in him who raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead; ²⁵ who was delivered up for our offences, and was raised again for our justification.

⁴ We have been buried therefore with him by baptism into death: that as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, so also we should walk in newness of life. ⁵ For if we have been planted with him in the likeness of his death, so shall we be also of his resurrection: ⁶ knowing this, that our old man hath been crucified with him, that the body of sin might be abolished, that we should no longer be slaves to sin. ⁷ For he that is dead is discharged from sin. ⁸ But if we have been dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him: ⁹ knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death over him hath no more dominion. ¹⁰ For in that he died, for sin he died once: but in that he liveth, he liveth to God. ¹¹ So also do ye account yourselves dead indeed to sin, but living unto God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

¹¹ But if the Spirit of him who hath raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he who raised Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his indwelling Spirit in you.

³ For I delivered to you among the first things that which I also had received, that Christ died for our sins, according to the scriptures; ⁴ and that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

¹² But if Christ be preached that he rose from the dead, how say some among you, that there is no resurrection of the dead? ¹³ But if there is no resurrection of the dead, neither is Christ risen: ¹⁴ and if Christ be not risen, vain indeed is our preaching, and vain also your faith. ¹⁵ Yea, and we also are found false witnesses for God; because we have testified on the behalf of God, that he raised up Christ: whom he raised not up, if indeed the dead are not raised. ¹⁶ For if the dead are not raised, neither is Christ risen: ¹⁷ and if Christ be not risen, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins. ¹⁸ Then also they who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished. ¹⁹ If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are more miserable than all other men. ²⁰ But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the first-fruit of those who have fallen asleep.

¹⁴ knowing that he who raised up our Lord Jesus Christ, will raise up us also through Jesus, and present us together with you.

²¹ who by him believe in God, that raised him from the dead, and gave him glory; that your faith and hope might be in God.

³⁰ And it came to pass, when he was sitting down at table with them, taking up a loaf, he blessed it, and breaking, distributed it to them.

⁴¹ But when they still could not credit it for joy, and marvelled, he said unto them, Have ye here any thing eatable? ⁴² Then they gave him a part of a broiled fish, and a piece of honey-comb. ⁴³ And receiving it, he did eat in their presence.

¹⁷ the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; because he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.

²² Then Judas (not Iscariot) said to him, Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself to us, and not unto the world?

¹⁶ Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and appointed you that ye should go forth and bear fruit, and that your fruit should be permanent: that so whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he may give it you.

¹ AND on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalen came very early, whilst yet some darkness remained, to the sepulchre, and seeth the stone taken away from the sepulchre. ² She therefore runneth, and cometh to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple, whom Jesus loved, and saith to them, They have taken away the Lord out of the sepulchre, and we know not where they have laid him. ³ Then Peter went out, and that other disciple, and came to the sepulchre. ⁴ And they two ran together: and the other disciple ran before more swiftly than Peter, and came first to the sepulchre. ⁵ And stooping forward, he sees the swathing clothes lying there; yet he did not go in. ⁶ Then cometh Simon Peter following him, and went into the sepulchre, and saw the swathing clothes lying, ⁷ and the napkin, which had been round his head, not laid with the linen swathes, but apart folded up in another place. ⁸ Then went in also the other disciple, who had come the first to the sepulchre, and saw, and believed. ⁹ Though not even yet had they known the scripture, that he should rise from the dead. ¹⁰ Then the disciples went back again to their companions. ¹¹ But Mary stood at the sepulchre, without, weeping: as therefore she wept, she bent forward towards the sepulchre. ¹² And saw two angels in white, sitting, the one at the head, and the other at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain. ¹³ And they say unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? She saith to them, Because they have taken away my Lord, and I know not where they have laid him. ¹⁴ And as she thus spoke, she turned about, and beheld Jesus standing by, and knew not that it was Jesus. ¹⁵ Then Jesus said to her, Woman, why art thou weeping? whom art thou seeking? She, supposing that it was the gardener, said to him, Sir, if thou hast carried him hence, tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will take him away. ¹⁶ Jesus saith to her, Mary! Starting round, she said to him, Rabboni! that is, Master! ¹⁷ Jesus saith to her, Touch me not; for I have not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and tell them, I am ascending to my Father, and your Father; to my God, and your God. ¹⁸ Mary Magdalen cometh declaring to the disciples, that she had seen the Lord, and that he had spoken these things to her. ¹⁹ When the evening therefore was come, on the same first day of the week, and the doors being fastened where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst, and said unto them, Peace be to you. ²⁰ And thus speaking, he shewed them his hands and his side. Then were the disciples glad when they saw the Lord. ²¹ Jesus therefore spake to them again, Peace be unto you: as the Father hath sent me, even so send I you.

¹³ Then Jesus cometh, and taketh the loaf, and distributed to them, and of the fish in like manner.

² until that day, when having given a charge to his apostles through the Holy Ghost, whom he had chosen, he was taken up: ³ to whom also he had shewed himself alive, after he had suffered, by many infallible proofs, during forty days being frequently seen by them, and speaking of the things which relate to the kingdom of God:

³⁹ And we are witnesses of all things which he did both in the region of the Jews, and in Jerusalem; whom they killed suspending him on a tree:

³¹ But when the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit on the throne of his glory: ³² and before him shall all the nations be gathered together; and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats: ³³ and he shall place the sheep at his right hand, but the goats at the left. ³⁴ Then shall the King say to those on his right-hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world; ³⁵ for I was hungry, and ye gave me to eat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me to drink: I was a stranger, and ye received me hospitably: ³⁶ naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye took care of me: I was in prison, and ye came to me. ³⁷ Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee hungry, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink? ³⁸ When indeed saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee? ³⁹ When indeed saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee? ⁴⁰ And the king answering shall say to them, Verily I tell you, for as much as ye have done it to one of these my brethren, the very least of them, ye have done it unto me. ⁴¹ Then shall he say also to those on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels: ⁴² for I was hungry, and ye gave me nothing to eat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me nothing to drink: ⁴³ I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye did not clothe me: sick, and in prison, and ye took no care of me. ⁴⁴ Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee? ⁴⁵ Then shall he reply to them, saying, For as much as ye have not done it to one of the least of these, neither have ye done it to me. ⁴⁶ And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.

¹⁹ Go therefore, make disciples among all nations, baptising them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: ²⁰ teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo! I am with you at all times even to the end of the world. Amen.

¹⁵ And he said unto them, Go into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. ¹⁶ He that believeth and is baptised shall be saved; and he that believeth not shall be damned.

⁴⁷ and that repentance and remission of sin should be preached in his name unto all nations, beginning from Jerusalem. ⁴⁸ And ye are the witnesses of these things.

²² For the Father never judgeth any man, but hath committed all judgment to the Son:

²¹ Peter looking at him, saith to Jesus, Lord, and what will become of this man? ²² Jesus saith to him, If I will that he abide till I come, what is that to thee? follow thou me.

² until that day, when having given a charge to his apostles through the Holy Ghost, whom he had chosen, he was taken up:

¹⁹ But Peter and John, answering them, said, If it be right in the sight of God to obey you rather than God, be yourselves the judges. ²⁰ For we cannot refrain from speaking the things which we have seen and heard.

²⁰ Go, and taking your station in the temple, speak to the people all the words of this life.

²⁹ Then Peter and the apostles answering said, We must obey God rather than men.

⁹ For to this end Christ both died, and rose again, and revived, that he might be the Lord both of the dead and of the living. ¹⁰ But thou, why judgest thou thy brother? And thou, why dost thou disparage thy brother? for we must all appear before the judgment-seat of Christ.

¹⁰ For we must all appear before the judgment-seat of Christ, that each may receive the things done in the body according to what he hath done, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.

¹ I ADJURE thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the living and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom;

⁸ henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, shall give me at that day: yet not to me only, but also to all who have loved his appearing.

⁵ who shall give an account to him, who holds himself ready to judge the living and the dead.

⁷ Behold! he is coming with clouds, and every eye shall see him, and they also who pierced him; and all the tribes of the earth shall lament bitterly, smiting their bosoms, because of him: even so! Amen.

¹¹ And I saw a great white throne, and one sat upon it, from whose presence fled the earth and the heaven, and no place was found for them. ¹² And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God, and the books were opened; and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of the things written in the books according to their works. ¹³ And the sea gave up the dead that were in it, and death and the grave gave up the dead that were in them; and every one was judged according to his works. ¹⁴ And death and the grave were cast into the lake of fire: this is the second death. ¹⁵ And if any one was not found inscribed on the book of life, he was cast into the lake of fire.

¹² And behold, I come quickly: and my reward is with me, to give to every man as his work shall be.

¹⁶ He that believeth and is baptised shall be saved; and he that believeth not shall be damned.

²⁵ And he said unto them, O ye void of understanding, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken! ²⁶ Ought not the Messiah to suffer these things, and to enter into his glory? ²⁷ And beginning from Moses and all the prophets, he explained to them in all the scriptures, the things relating to himself.

⁴⁴ And said unto them, These are the sayings which I spake unto you, when I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which are written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the Psalms, concerning me. ⁴⁵ Then opened he thoroughly their understanding, that they should understand the scriptures, ⁴⁶ and said to them, That thus it is written, and thus must the Messiah suffer, and rise again from the dead the third day

⁴⁵ Philip findeth Nathaniel, and saith to him, We have found him whom Moses in the law has described, and the prophets, Jesus the son of Joseph, who is of Nazareth.

¹⁴ And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, in like manner must the Son of man be lifted up: ¹⁵ that every one who believeth on him may not perish, but have life eternal. ¹⁶ For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that every one who believeth in him should not perish, but have life eternal. ¹⁷ For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world by him might be saved.

³⁹ Search the scriptures; for ye suppose in them ye have eternal life: and these are they which testify of me. ⁴⁰ And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life.

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

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

¹⁶ And through faith in his name hath his name restored this man to strength, whom ye behold and know: yea, the faith which is by him hath given him this perfect soundness in the sight of you all.

¹⁸ But the things which God before announced by the mouth of all his prophets, that Messiah should suffer, he hath thus fulfilled.

¹⁰ be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarean, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, by him doth this man stand here sound in your presence. ¹¹ This is the stone which, though set at nought by you builders, is become the head of the corner. ¹² And there is no salvation in any other person: for there is no other name under heaven given unto men, whereby we must be saved.

³⁸ Be it therefore known unto you, men and brethren, that through this man remission of sin is proclaimed to you: ³⁹ and by this man shall every one who believeth be justified from all things, from which it was not possible that he should be justified by the law of Moses.

¹⁸ to open their eyes, to convert them from darkness to light, and from the dominion of Satan unto God, that they may receive remission of sins, and an inheritance with those who are sanctified by faith which is in me.

²² Having however obtained help from God, unto this day, I stand witnessing both to small and great, saying nothing but what both the prophets and Moses said should come to pass:

¹ BEING justified therefore by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:

²³ For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is life eternal in Jesus Christ our Lord.

¹ THERE is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

³⁴ Who is he that condemneth? Christ? He died, yea, rather, also is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.

¹¹ For the scripture saith, "Every one who believeth in him shall not be confounded."

²² But the scripture hath shut up all things under sin, that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe.

⁷ in whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;

¹⁴ in whom we have redemption through his blood, and forgiveness of sins.

² And there came suddenly from heaven a sound as it were of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting. ³ And there was an appearance to them of divided tongues, as of fire, and it rested on every one of them. ⁴ And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them power to express themselves.

³¹ And while they were praying, the place in which they were assembled was shaken; and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they spake the word of God with boldness.

¹⁵ who, when they were come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Ghost: ¹⁶ for as yet he had not fallen on any one of them: only they had been baptised into the name of the Lord Jesus. ¹⁷ Then they laid their hands upon them, and they received the Holy Ghost.

¹⁵ So when I had begun to speak, the Holy Ghost fell on them, just as on us at the beginning.

⁸ And God, who is the discerner of the heart, bore them witness, giving them the Holy Ghost, even as to us;

⁶ And Paul laying on them his hands, the Holy Ghost came upon them; and they spake with tongues, and prophesied.

³³ He therefore being exalted at the right hand of God, and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, hath poured out this, which ye now see and hear.

²³ Then inviting them in, he lodged them there. And the next morning Peter went with them, and some of the brethren from Joppa accompanied him.

³ saying, Thou hast gone in to men holding uncircumcision, and hast eaten with them.

¹⁵ So when I had begun to speak, the Holy Ghost fell on them, just as on us at the beginning. ¹⁶ Then I recollected the word of the Lord, how he had said, John indeed baptised with water; but ye shall be baptised with the Holy Ghost. ¹⁷ If God then gave an equal gift to them even as to us, on believing on the Lord Jesus Christ; I, indeed, who was I, that I should be able to restrain God? ¹⁸ So when they heard these things they were satisfied, and glorified God, saying, Well! then hath God even to the Gentiles given repentance unto life.

¹³ Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, "Cursed is every one who is hanged on a tree:" ¹⁴ that unto the Gentiles the benediction pronounced on Abraham might come by Jesus Christ, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit by faith.

¹¹ Wherefore remember that ye in time past were Gentiles in the flesh, who are called uncircumcision by that called circumcision made by hands in the flesh;

⁵ which in other generations was not made known to the children of men, as it hath been now revealed to his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit;

¹³ And you, who were dead in sins and in the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened with him, freely forgiving you all trespasses; ¹⁴ and hath blotted out the handwriting in ordinances that was against us, which was the obstacle to us, and took it from the midst, nailing it to the cross;

¹⁷ And these signs shall follow those that believe: in my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;

⁴ And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them power to express themselves.

¹¹ Cretans and Arabians, we hear them speaking in our own several tongues the marvellous things of God.

²⁰ Brethren, be not children in your minds: though in naughtiness be ye children, but in your minds be men complete. ²¹ In the law it is written, "That with other tongues, and with other lips, will I speak to this people: and even thus will they not attend to me, saith the Lord." ²² Wherefore tongues are for a sign, not to those that believe, but to those who do not believe: but the gift of prophecy is not for those who are infidels, but for believers. ²³ If then the whole church assemble together in the same place, and all speak different tongues, and there come in illiterate persons, or infidels, will they not say ye are mad? ²⁴ But if all prophesy, and any infidel or illiterate person come in, he receives conviction from all, he is judged of all: ²⁵ and thus the secrets of his heart are made manifest; and so falling down on his face, he will worship God, declaring that God verily is among you.

¹² But when they believed Philip, who preached the glad tidings of the things which related to the kingdom of God, and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptised both men and women.

³⁶ But as they went on the road, they came to some water: and the eunuch said, Here is water, what forbids my being baptised?

¹⁵ So when I had begun to speak, the Holy Ghost fell on them, just as on us at the beginning. ¹⁶ Then I recollected the word of the Lord, how he had said, John indeed baptised with water; but ye shall be baptised with the Holy Ghost. ¹⁷ If God then gave an equal gift to them even as to us, on believing on the Lord Jesus Christ; I, indeed, who was I, that I should be able to restrain God?

¹¹ And he received the sign of circumcision, as a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had when uncircumcised: that he might be the father of all those who believe, though uncircumcised; that to them also the righteousness might be imputed:

¹² For there is no difference between either Jew or Greek: for the same Lord of all is rich to all that call upon him.

² (though Jesus himself did not baptise, but his disciples),

⁴⁰ So on this the Samaritans came to him, and besought him to abide with them: and he tarried there two days.

¹⁶ for as yet he had not fallen on any one of them: only they had been baptised into the name of the Lord Jesus.

¹⁵ So when she was baptised, and her house, she entreated, saying, Since ye have judged that I am faithful to the Lord, come and abide at my house. And she constrained us.

⁵ Now when they heard it, they were baptised into the name of the Lord Jesus.

¹³ Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were ye baptised into the name of Paul? ¹⁴ I thank God that I baptised none of you, except Crispus and Gaius; ¹⁵ that no man might say, I baptised into my own name. ¹⁶ And I also baptised the household of Stephanus: besides these, I know not if I baptised any other person. ¹⁷ For Christ sent me not to baptise, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of discourse, lest the cross of Christ should be slighted.

²⁷ For as many of you as have been baptised into Christ, have been invested with Christ.
