John 11 Cross References - Haweis

¹ NOW there was a sick man, Lazarus, of Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister Martha. ² (It was the Mary who had anointed the Lord with the balm, and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.) ³ The sisters therefore sent unto him, saying, Lord, behold, he whom thou lovest is sick. ⁴ When Jesus heard it, he said, This sickness is not for death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God may be glorified thereby. ⁵ Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus. ⁶ Then, though he heard he was ill, yet notwithstanding he abode in the same place where he was two days. ⁷ But after that he saith to his disciples, Let us go again into Judea. ⁸ The disciples say unto him, Rabbi, the Jews have just now sought to stone thee; and art thou going thither again? ⁹ Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If any man walk in the day, he doth not stumble, because he seeth the light of this world. ¹⁰ But if a man walk in the night, he stumbleth, because there is no light with him. ¹¹ These things said he: and after that he saith to them, Our friend Lazarus is asleep; but I go to waken him up. ¹² Then said his disciples, Lord, if he is asleep, he will recover. ¹³ Now Jesus had spoken of his death: but they apprehended that he spake of taking rest in sleep. ¹⁴ Then Jesus therefore told them plainly, Lazarus is dead. ¹⁵ And I rejoice on your account that I was not there, in order that ye may believe; but let us go to him. ¹⁶ Then said Thomas, (called Didymus, the twin,) to his fellow-disciples, Let us go too, that we may die with him. ¹⁷ Then Jesus, when he came; found that he had already lain in the tomb four days. ¹⁸ Now Bethany was nigh unto Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs off: ¹⁹ and many of the Jews had come with the women who were about Martha and Mary, to comfort them concerning their brother. ²⁰ Then Martha, when she heard that Jesus was coming, met him: but Mary sat in the house. ²¹ And Martha said to Jesus, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died. ²² But even now I know, that whatsoever things thou shalt ask of God, God will give thee. ²³ Jesus saith to her, Thy brother shall rise again. ²⁴ Martha saith to him, I know that he shall rise at the resurrection in the last day. ²⁵ Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: ²⁶ and every one who is alive, and believeth in me, shall never die to eternity. Believest thou this? ²⁷ She saith to him, Yes, Lord I believe that thou art the Messiah, the Son of God, who cometh into the world. ²⁸ So when she had thus spoken, she went away, and called her sister Mary privately, saying, The Master is near at hand, and calleth for thee. ²⁹ As soon as she heard it, she rose hastily, and came to him. ³⁰ Now Jesus was not yet come into the village, but was on the spot where Martha had met him. ³¹ Then the Jews who were with her in the house, and comforting her, observing Mary, that she rose up hastily, and went out, followed her, saying, She is going to the tomb, to weep there. ³² When therefore Mary was come where Jesus was, beholding him, she fell at his feet, saying to him, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother would not have died! ³³ When Jesus then saw her weeping, and all the Jews who came with her lamenting, he groaned in spirit, and was himself greatly agitated: ³⁴ and he said, Where have ye laid him? They say to him, Lord, come and see. ³⁵ Jesus wept. ³⁶ Then said the Jews, Behold, how he loved him! ³⁷ But some of them said, Could not this man, who openeth the eyes of the blind, have caused that this person should not have died? ³⁸ Then Jesus again groaning in himself, cometh to the sepulchre. It was an excavation, and a stone lay upon it. ³⁹ Jesus saith, Remove the stone. The sister of the deceased, Martha, said to him, Lord, he is by this time putrid: for he hath been dead four days. ⁴⁰ Jesus saith unto her, Did I not tell thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou shalt see the glory of God? ⁴¹ Then they removed the stone where the deceased was lying. And Jesus lifted his eyes upwards, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me! ⁴² And I knew that thou always dost hear me: but for the sake of the multitude standing by I spake, that they may believe that thou hast sent me. ⁴³ And when he had thus spoken, with a loud voice he cried, Lazarus, come forth! ⁴⁴ And the deceased came forth, his feet and his hands wrapped with the linen swathes; and his face bound round with a napkin. Jesus saith to them, Loose him, and let him go! ⁴⁵ Then many of the Jews who came to Mary, and saw what Jesus had done, believed on him. ⁴⁶ But some of them went to the Pharisees, and told them what things Jesus had done. ⁴⁷ The chief priests and Pharisees therefore called the sanhedrim together, and said, What are we about? for this man is doing many miracles. ⁴⁸ If we suffer him to go on thus, all men will believe on him: and the Romans will come, and take away both our place and nation. ⁴⁹ Then one particular person of them, Caiaphas, being the high-priest of that year, said unto them, Ye know nothing, ⁵⁰ nor consider that it is expedient for us, that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation be not destroyed. ⁵¹ And this he spake not from himself: but being the high-priest of that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for the nation; ⁵² and not for that nation only, but that he should collect into one body the children of God wherever dispersed. ⁵³ Then from that day they consulted together how they might kill him. ⁵⁴ Jesus therefore walked no more openly among the Jews, but went thence into the country bordering on the desert, to a city called Ephraim, and there he abode with his disciples. ⁵⁵ Now the passover of the Jews was near, and many went up to Jerusalem out of the country before the passover, in order to purify themselves. ⁵⁶ Then they sought for Jesus, and said one to another, as they stood in the temple, What think ye, that he will not come to the feast? ⁵⁷ Now both the chief priests and the Pharisees had given commandment, that, if any person knew where he was, they should declare it, that they might apprehend him.

⁴⁷ This person having heard that Jesus was come out of Judea into Galilee, went to him, that he might come down, and cure his son: for he was at the point of death. ⁴⁸ Then said Jesus unto him, Unless ye see miracles and wonders, ye will not believe. ⁴⁹ The courtier said to him, Sir, come down before my child is dead.

³⁵ The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into his hand.

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

³¹ Now we know that God doth not hearken to sinners: but if any man be a devout worshipper, and doeth his will, him he heareth.

⁴¹ Then they removed the stone where the deceased was lying. And Jesus lifted his eyes upwards, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me! ⁴² And I knew that thou always dost hear me: but for the sake of the multitude standing by I spake, that they may believe that thou hast sent me.

² even as thou hast given him authority over all flesh, that with regard to all those whom thou hast given him, he should give to them eternal life:

¹⁷ By faith Abraham, when tried, offered up Isaac; and he who had received the promise, presented in sacrifice his only begotten son, ¹⁸ unto whom it had been said, "That by Isaac shall there be a seed bearing thy name:" ¹⁹ reasoning that God was able to raise him up again, even from the dead; from whence also figuratively he had received him.

²³ On the same day the Sadducees came to him, who say, that there is no resurrection, and they put a question to him, ²⁴ saying, Master, Moses said, "If a man die having no children, his brother in right of affinity shall marry his wife, and raise up seed for his brother." ²⁵ Now there were with us seven brothers; and the first marrying, died, and had no offspring, and left his wife to his brother; ²⁶ likewise the second also; then the third; so on to the seven. ²⁷ Last of all the woman died also. ²⁸ In the resurrection therefore, whose wife shall she be of the seven? for they all had her. ²⁹ Jesus then answering, said unto them, Ye are in an error, from not knowing the Scriptures, and the power of God. ³⁰ For at the resurrection, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven. ³¹ But with respect to the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read what was spoken to you of God, saying, ³² "I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?" God is not the God of the dead, but of the living.

¹⁴ and thou shalt be blessed; because they cannot recompense thee: for a recompence shall be made thee at the resurrection of the just.

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. ³² But when they heard of the resurrection from the dead, Some scoffed: and others said, We will hear thee again on this subject.

⁶ Now when Paul perceived that the one part were Sadducees, and the other Pharisees, he cried in the sanhedrim, Men and brethren, I am a Pharisee, the son of a Pharisee: for the hope and resurrection of the dead am I brought to this bar. ⁷ So when he had said this, a great dissension arose between the Pharisees and the Sadducees: and the multitude was divided. ⁸ For the Sadducees say indeed, that there is no resurrection, nor angel, nor spirit: but the Pharisees confess both. ⁹ And a great clamour arose: and the scribes rising up who were of the party of the Pharisees, contended stoutly, saying, We find no fault in this man: but if a spirit have spoken to him, or an angel, let us not fight against God.

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.

³⁵ Women received by a resurrection their dead: but others were tortured, not accepting a release; that they might obtain a better resurrection:

⁴³ And Jesus said to him. Verily I say unto thee, To-day thou shalt be with me in paradise.

⁴ In him was life; and the life was the light of men.

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.

²¹ For as the Father raiseth the dead, and quickeneth them; so also doth the Son quicken whom he pleases.

²⁶ For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son also to have life in himself;

³⁵ Then said Jesus to them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst more.

³⁹ Now this is the will of the Father who sent me, That every thing which he hath given me I should not be deprived of it, but raise it up at the last day. ⁴⁰ And this is the will of him that sent me, That every one who seeth the Son, and believeth on him, should have life eternal: and I will raise him up at the last day.

⁴⁴ No man can come to me, except the Father who hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.

⁶ Jesus saith to him, I am the way, and the truth, and the life: no man cometh to the Father, but by me.

¹⁹ Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also.

¹⁵ but ye slew the Author of life, whom God raised from the dead: of which we are witnesses.

¹⁷ (as it is written "that I have constituted thee father of many nations,") before God, in whom he trusted, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth things that are not as if existing.

¹⁷ For if by the offence of one, death reigned by that one; much more they who receive the abundance of grace, and of the gift of righteousness, shall reign in life by one, Christ Jesus. ¹⁸ Well then, as by the offence of one, [judgment issued] against all men unto condemnation; so also by the righteousness of one, [the gift came] to all men for justification unto life. ¹⁹ For as by the disobedience of one man the many were constituted sinners; so also by the obedience of one shall the many be constituted righteous.

² For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath liberated me from the law of sin and of death.

¹⁰ But if Christ be in you, the body indeed is dead on account of sin; but the Spirit is alive through righteousness. 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.

³⁸ For I am assured that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor those to come, ³⁹ nor exaltation, nor deepest depression, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

²⁰ But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the first-fruit of those who have fallen asleep. ²¹ For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead. ²² For as in Adam all are dead, so also in Christ shall all be made alive. ²³ But every one in his own rank: Christ the first-fruit; afterwards those that are Christ's at his appearing. ²⁴ Then cometh the end, when he shall deliver up the kingdom to God, and the Father; when he shall have destroyed every dominion and every authority and power. ²⁵ For he must reign, until he hath put all enemies under his feet. ²⁶ The last enemy shall be destroyed, death.

²⁹ Else what will they do who are baptised? for the dead, if wholly dead they rise no more. Why are they then baptised for the dead?

⁴³ it is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power: ⁴⁴ it is sown an animal body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is an animal body, and there is a spiritual body. ⁴⁵ And so it is written, There was a first man Adam a living soul; a last Adam a quickening spirit. ⁴⁶ But that which is spiritual was not first, but that which is animal; and afterward that which is spiritual. ⁴⁷ The first man was of the earth, earthly; the second man was the Lord from heaven. ⁴⁸ As is the earthly, so are they also that are earthly: and as is the heavenly, such also are they that are heavenly. ⁴⁹ And as we have borne the image of the earthly, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly. ⁵⁰ But this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God: neither doth corruption inherit incorruption. ⁵¹ Behold, I shew you a mystery; we shall not indeed all sleep, but we shall all be changed, ⁵² in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. ⁵³ For that which is corruptible must put on incorruption, and that which is mortal must put on immortality. ⁵⁴ So when that which is corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and that which is mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall come to pass the saying which is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. ⁵⁵ O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? ⁵⁶ The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. ⁵⁷ But thanks be to God, who giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

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

¹ FOR we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle should be taken down, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. ² For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed with our mansion which is from heaven; ³ that so invested, we may not be found naked. ⁴ For we which are in this tabernacle, groan, being burdened; wherein we desire not to be unclothed, but clothed upon, that what is mortal may be swallowed up of life. ⁵ But he that hath wrought us for this very thing is God, who also hath given us the earnest of the spirit. ⁶ Therefore we have always confidence, and know that whilst we are indwelling in the body, we are absent from the Lord: ⁷ (for we walk by faith, not by sight.) ⁸ We are confident indeed, and with pleasure expect to go out from the body, and to dwell within with the Lord:

²³ For I am in a strait between the two, having an earnest longing to be dissolved, and to be with Christ, for this is far, far better:

¹⁰ that I may know him, and the virtue of his resurrection, and communion with his sufferings, being conformed to his death;

²⁰ But our conversation is in heaven as its citizens, from whence also we are expecting the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ, ²¹ who shall transform our body of humiliation, that it may be conformed to his body of glory, according to the effectual working of him who is able to subdue even all things to himself.

³ For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. ⁴ When Christ shall appear, who is our life, then shall you also with him be manifested in glory.

¹⁴ For if we believe that Jesus died, and rose again, so also those that have fallen asleep for Jesus shall God bring with him.

¹³ All these died in faith, not having received the promises, but beholding them at a great distance, though believing and embracing them, and confessing that they were strangers and sojourners in the land. ¹⁴ Now they who speak thus, shew evidently that they are in earnest search of their native country. ¹⁵ And if indeed they had fixed their minds on that from whence they had gone forth, they might have had opportunity to go back to it again. ¹⁶ But now their longing desires are after a better country, that is, the heavenly one: wherefore God is not ashamed of them to be called their God: for he hath prepared a city for them.

¹ THAT which was from the beginning, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have gazed upon, and our hands have handled of the word of life; ² (for the life was manifested, and we have beheld it, and bear testimony, and declare unto you that life eternal, which was with the Father, and was manifested to us;)

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

⁵ But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years are completed. This is the first resurrection.

¹⁰ And the devil who deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and they shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever. 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.

⁴ And God shall wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more; nor shall mourning, nor crying, nor toil be any more: because the former things are passed away.

¹ AND he shewed me a clear river of water of life, bright as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.

¹⁷ And the spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him who is athirst come: and whosoever is desirous, let him take of the water of life freely.

²⁸ So when he came into the house, the blind men came to him: and Jesus said to them, Believe ye that I am able to do this? They said unto him, Yes, Lord.

⁵³ Thinkest thou, that I cannot now entreat my Father, and he will give me more than twelve legions of angels?

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. ¹⁸ He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is already under condemnation, because he hath not believed on the name of the only begotten Son of God.

¹⁴ but whosoever shall drink of the water which I shall give him, he shall no more thirst to eternity; but the water which I will give him, shall be in him a fountain of water springing up to life eternal.

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.

⁵⁰ This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that any person may eat of it, and never die. ⁵¹ I am the bread that giveth life, which came down from heaven: if any person eat of this bread, he shall live to eternity; and the bread indeed which I shall give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.

⁵⁴ He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath life eternal: and I will raise him up at the last day. ⁵⁵ For my flesh truly is meat, and my blood truly is drink. ⁵⁶ He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, abideth in me, and I in him. ⁵⁷ As the life-giving Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father; so he that eateth me, the same shall live by me. ⁵⁸ This is the bread which came down from heaven, not as the manna your fathers did eat, and died: he that eateth this bread shall live to eternity.

⁵¹ Verily, verily, I say unto you, If any man observe my saying, he shall never see death to all eternity. ⁵² Then said the Jews to him, Now we know that thou hast a devil. Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and thou sayest, If any man observe my word, he shall never taste of death to eternity. ⁵³ Art thou greater than our father Abraham, who is dead? and the prophets are dead: whom makest thou thyself?

³⁵ Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and finding him, said to him, Believest thou in the Son of God?

²⁸ and I give unto them everlasting life and they shall never perish to eternity, and no person shall pluck them out of my hand.

¹⁰ Dost thou not believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in me? the words which I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father, who dwelleth in me, he performeth these works.

¹³ For if ye live after the flesh, ye are ready to die: but if by the Spirit ye mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.

¹⁰ He that believeth on the Son of God, hath the testimony in himself; he that believeth not God, hath made him a liar, because he hath not believed on the testimony which God testified of his Son.

³ and said unto him, Art thou he that cometh, or should we expect another?

¹⁶ Then Simon Peter answering said, Thou art the Messiah, the Son of the living God.

¹¹ Because this day there is born for you a Saviour, which is Messiah, the Lord, in the city of David.

¹⁹ And John calling two certain persons of his disciples, sent them to Jesus, saying, Art thou he that cometh, or are we to expect another? ²⁰ Then the men came to him, saying, John Baptist hath sent us unto thee, saying, Art thou he that cometh, or are we to expect another?

⁴⁹ Nathaniel answered and said to him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God; thou art the king of Israel.

⁴² and said to the woman, Now we believe, not merely on account of thy relation: for we ourselves have heard, and know that this is of a certainty the Saviour of the world, the Messiah.

¹⁴ When therefore the men saw the miracle which Jesus had done, they said, This is of a certainty that prophet which is to come into the world.

⁶⁹ And we have believed and known that thou art the Messiah, the Son of the living God.

³⁶ The man answered and said, Who is he, Sir, that I might believe on him? ³⁷ Then said Jesus him, Thou hast even seen him, and he that is now talking with thee is the very person. ³⁸ Then he said, Lord, I believe: and worshipped him.

²⁸ And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God! ²⁹ Jesus saith to him, Because thou hast seen me, Thomas, hast thou believed: blessed are they who though they have not seen me, yet have believed. ³⁰ Now many other miracles did Jesus therefore also in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book: 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.

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 It is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am the chief. ¹⁶ But for this end obtained I mercy, that in me, the chief, Jesus Christ might shew forth all long-suffering, for a pattern to those who should after believe in him unto eternal life.

¹ EVERY one who believeth that Jesus is the Messiah, is born of God; and every one who loveth him that begat, loveth him also who is begotten by him.

²⁰ But we know that the Son of God hath come, and hath given to us understanding, that we might know the true God; and we are in him that is true, in his Son Jesus the Messiah. HE is the true God, and the life eternal.

¹⁸ And he said, Go into the city, unto such a man, and say unto him, The Master saith, My time is at hand: I will keep the passover with my disciples at thy house.

⁴⁹ And Jesus stood still, and ordered him to be called: and they call the blind man, saying to him, Cheer up, arise; he calleth thee.

¹⁴ And where he enters, say to the master of the family. That the teacher saith, Where is the dining-room, where I may eat the passover with my disciples?

¹¹ And say to the master of that family, The teacher saith to thee, Where is the dining-room, in which I can eat the passover with my disciples?

⁴¹ He first finds his own brother Simon, and saith to him, We have found the Messiah (which is, being translated, the Christ).

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.

³ To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own peculiar sheep by name, and leadeth them forth.

²⁰ Then Martha, when she heard that Jesus was coming, met him: but Mary sat in the house.

¹³ Ye call me Master, and Lord: and ye speak truly; for such I am.

¹⁶ Jesus saith to her, Mary! Starting round, she said to him, Rabboni! that is, Master!

⁷ Then said that disciple whom Jesus loved to Peter, It is the Lord! Then Simon Peter, when he heard that it was the Lord, girt his coat round him, (for he was stripped,) and threw himself into the sea.

¹⁷ then we who are alive, who remain, shall be caught up together with them into the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air; and so shall we be ever with the Lord. ¹⁸ Wherefore comfort one another with these words.

¹² Wherefore stretch out again the hands that hang down, and the paralytic knees;

¹⁹ and many of the Jews had come with the women who were about Martha and Mary, to comfort them concerning their brother.

¹⁵ But the spiritual man discerneth indeed all things, though himself is discernible by no man.

⁸ Then Simon Peter seeing it, fell down on his knees before Jesus, saying, Go from me; for I am a sinful man, O Lord!

⁴¹ And, behold, there came a man whose name was Jairus, and he was a ruler of the synagogue: and falling at the feet of Jesus, he entreated him to come to his house;

¹⁶ and fell prostrate at his feet giving him thanks: and he was a Samaritan.

⁴⁹ The courtier said to him, Sir, come down before my child is dead.

²¹ And Martha said to Jesus, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died.

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.

¹⁴ And the four living beings said, Amen. And the four and twenty presbyters prostrated themselves, and worshipped him that liveth for ever and ever.

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.

⁵ Then looking round about on them with indignation, exceedingly grieved for the hardness of their hearts, he saith to the man, Stretch out thine hand; and he stretched it out: and his hand was restored sound as the other.

¹⁹ Then addressing him, he said, O faithless generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I bear with you? bring him to me.

³³ And he taketh Peter, and James, and John, with him; and he began to be filled with horrible dread, and to be sunk under dejection of spirit: ³⁴ and he saith to them, My soul is deeply afflicted even to death: abide here, and watch. ³⁵ And he went a little farther forward, and fell on the earth, and prayed, that if it were possible the hour might pass from him.

³⁸ Then Jesus again groaning in himself, cometh to the sepulchre. It was an excavation, and a stone lay upon it.

²⁷ Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour: but for this cause came I unto this hour.

²¹ As Jesus was speaking these words, he was greatly agitated in spirit, and testified, and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me.

¹⁵ For we have not an high-priest incapable of a fellow-feeling with our infirmities, but one tempted in all points, in exact resemblance with ourselves, sin excepted.

⁷ who in the days of his flesh, with strong crying and tears, having offered up prayers and supplications to him who was able to save him from death, and being heard for his reverential awe, ⁸ though he was a son, he learned obedience from the things which he suffered:

⁶ He is not here: he is risen, as he said. Come hither, behold the place where the Lord lay.

⁴⁷ Now Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of Joses, saw where he was laid.

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.

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.

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.

¹¹ And as they were hearkening to these things, he proceeded on, and spake a parable, because he was nigh to Jerusalem, and they supposed that immediately the kingdom of God would openly appear.

⁴¹ And as he drew near, beholding the city, he wept over it,

³³ When Jesus then saw her weeping, and all the Jews who came with her lamenting, he groaned in spirit, and was himself greatly agitated:

² that great is my sorrow and unceasing the anguish in my heart. ³ For could I myself wish that an anathema should be from Christ upon my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh?

¹⁶ For he verily took not on him the angelic nature, but assumed that of the seed of Abraham. ¹⁷ Wherefore he ought in all things to be made like to his brethren, in order to become a merciful and faithful high-priest in those things which relate to God, to make a propitiation for the sins of the people:

²¹ He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he is the person who loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him. ²² Then Judas (not Iscariot) said to him, Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself to us, and not unto the world? ²³ Jesus answered and said to him, If any man love me, he will observe my word: and my Father will love him, and we will come to him, and make our abode with him.

¹⁵ When therefore they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these? He saith to him, Yes, Lord! thou knowest that I love thee. He saith to him, Feed my lambs. ¹⁶ He saith to him again the second time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? He saith to him, Yes, Lord! thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith unto him, Feed my sheep. 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.

⁸ I speak not by commandment, but because of the forwardness of others, and to prove the genuineness of your love. ⁹ For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that for your sake he became poor though he was rich, that ye by his poverty should be made rich.

² and walk in love as Christ also hath loved us, and given himself for us, an oblation and sacrifice to God, for an odour of a sweet smell.

²⁵ Husbands, love your own wives, as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;

¹ BEHOLD, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called children of God! therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.

⁹ By this was the love of God manifested to us, that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might have life by him. ¹⁰ Herein is love, not that we have loved God, but that he hath loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiatory sacrifice for our sins.

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,

⁴⁰ and saying, Thou that canst pull down the temple, and build it in three days, save thyself. If thou be the Son of God, descend from the cross. ⁴¹ And with similar language also did the chief priests, insulting him, with the scribes and elders, and Pharisees, ⁴² say, He saved others, himself he is unable to save. If he be the King of Israel, let him come down now from the cross, and we will believe him.

³² Thou Messiah, King of Israel, come now down from the cross, that we may see, and believe. Even those who were crucified with him railed on him.

³⁵ And the people stood looking on. And the rulers also with them derided him, saying, He saved others; let him save himself, if this fellow is the Messiah, the elect of God.

³⁹ Then one of the suspended malefactors blasphemed him, saying, If thou art the Messiah, save thyself and us.

⁶ So speaking, he spat on the ground, and made mud with the spittle, and anointed with the mud the eyes of the blind man; ⁷ and said to him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam, (which signifies, Sent.) Then he went and washed, and came seeing.

⁶⁰ and laid it in his own new sepulchre, which he had hewn out in a rock: and rolling a vast stone against the door of the sepulchre, departed.

⁶⁶ So they went and made the sepulchre secure, putting a seal upon the stone, after placing the guard.

¹² And fetching a deep sigh from his very soul, he saith, Why seeketh this generation a sign? verily I tell you, no sign shall be given to this generation.

⁴⁶ And having bought a wrapper of fine linen, and taken him down, he wrapped him in the linen cloth, and laid him in a sepulchre, which was hewn out of a rock; and rolled a stone to the door of the sepulchre.

² And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre.

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.

³ And said among themselves, Who will roll away for us the stone from the door of the sepulchre?

¹⁷ Then Jesus, when he came; found that he had already lain in the tomb four days.

²⁷ that thou wilt not leave my soul in the mansion of the dead, nor permit that Holy One of thine to see corruption.

³⁶ For David indeed, after having served his own generation by the will of God, fell asleep, and was placed with his fathers, and saw corruption.

²¹ who shall transform our body of humiliation, that it may be conformed to his body of glory, according to the effectual working of him who is able to subdue even all things to himself.

¹⁴ And the Word became incarnate, and tabernacled with us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

²³ Jesus saith to her, Thy brother shall rise again. ²⁴ Martha saith to him, I know that he shall rise at the resurrection in the last day. ²⁵ Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: ²⁶ and every one who is alive, and believeth in me, shall never die to eternity. Believest thou this?

⁴¹ These things said Isaiah, when he saw his glory, and spake of him.

¹⁷ (as it is written "that I have constituted thee father of many nations,") before God, in whom he trusted, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth things that are not as if existing. ¹⁸ Who contrary to hope, in hope believed, that he should be the father of many nations, according to what was said, "So shall thy seed be." ¹⁹ And not being weak in faith, he regarded not his own body now deadened, being about an hundred years old, nor the deadness of Sarah's womb: ²⁰ for he disputed not against the promise of God with unbelief; but was mighty in faith, giving glory to God; ²¹ and enjoyed the fullest assurance, that what he had promised, he was able also to perform. ²² And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness. ²³ Now it was not written for his sake only, that it was imputed to him; 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.

¹⁸ And we all with face unveiled, beholding the glory of the Lord [reflected] as in a mirror, according to the same image, receive a transformation from glory into glory, as by the Lord, the Spirit.

⁶ For the God who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, he hath shined into our hearts, to give illumination of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

²⁵ At that time Jesus spake and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast hid these things from the wise and the intelligent, and hast revealed them to babes:

²¹ In the same hour Jesus exulted in spirit, and said, I ascribe glory to thee, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast hid these things from the wise and intelligent, and hast revealed them to babes: be it so, O Father! since such is thy good pleasure.

¹³ And the tax-gatherer standing at a distance, would not even so much as lift his eyes heaven-ward, but smote on his breast, saying, May God accept the atonement for me a sinner!

²⁸ Father, glorify thy name! Then came a voice from heaven, I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again. ²⁹ The multitude that stood by, and heard it, said that it was thunder: others said, An angel hath spoken to him. ³⁰ Jesus answered and said, This voice came not for my sake, but for your's.

⁶ Be not anxious about any thing, but in every case by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your petitions be made known unto God.

²² Then was brought to him a demoniac, blind and dumb; and he cured him, so as to enable the blind and dumb both to speak and see. ²³ And all the multitudes were lost in amazement, and they said, Is not this the son of David? ²⁴ But the Pharisees hearing them, said, This fellow casteth not out devils, but by Beelzebub, the prince of the devils.

¹⁷ For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world by him might be saved.

³⁸ For I came down from heaven, not with a view to do my own will, but the will of him that sent me.

²⁸ Then spake Jesus aloud as he was teaching in the temple, and said, Ye both know me, and ye know from whence I am: and I came not of myself, but he that sent me is true, whom ye know not. ²⁹ But I know him: for I am from him, and he hath sent me.

¹⁶ But though I should judge, my judgment is true: for I am not alone, but I and the Father who sent me.

²⁹ And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left me alone; because I always do the things acceptable to him.

⁴² Then said Jesus unto them, If God was your Father, ye would have loved me: for I came out from God, and I am coming; neither indeed came I of myself, but he hath sent me.

²⁴ The second time therefore they called the man who had been blind, and said unto him, Give the glory to God: we know that this man is a sinner. ²⁵ Then answered he and said, Whether this man be a sinner, I know not: one thing I do know, that, whereas I was blind, now I see. ²⁶ Then said they to him again, What did he to thee? how opened he thine eves? ²⁷ He answered them, I have already told you, and ye did not hearken: why do ye wish to hear it again? will ye also become his disciples? ²⁸ Then they reviled him, and said, Thou art his disciple, but we are the disciples of Moses. ²⁹ We know that God spake to Moses: but we know nothing of this man, whence he is. ³⁰ The man replied, and said to them, Now herein is something very surprising, that you know not whence he is, though he hath opened my eyes. ³¹ Now we know that God doth not hearken to sinners: but if any man be a devout worshipper, and doeth his will, him he heareth. ³² From the creation of the world hath it never been heard, that any man opened the eyes of one born blind. ³³ If this man were not from God, he could not do any thing. ³⁴ They answered and said unto him, Thou wast wholly born in sins, and dost thou teach us? And they cast him out.

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.

²² But even now I know, that whatsoever things thou shalt ask of God, God will give thee.

⁴⁵ Then many of the Jews who came to Mary, and saw what Jesus had done, believed on him. ⁴⁶ But some of them went to the Pharisees, and told them what things Jesus had done. ⁴⁷ The chief priests and Pharisees therefore called the sanhedrim together, and said, What are we about? for this man is doing many miracles. ⁴⁸ If we suffer him to go on thus, all men will believe on him: and the Romans will come, and take away both our place and nation. ⁴⁹ Then one particular person of them, Caiaphas, being the high-priest of that year, said unto them, Ye know nothing, ⁵⁰ nor consider that it is expedient for us, that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation be not destroyed.

²⁷ Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour: but for this cause came I unto this hour.

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.

²¹ that all may be one; as thou, Father, in me, and I in thee, that these also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.

²⁵ Righteous Father! though the world hath not known thee, yet I have known thee, and these have known that thou hast sent me.

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.

³ For that which was impossible by the law, inasmuch as it was impotent through the flesh, God having sent his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in that flesh:

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

⁷ who in the days of his flesh, with strong crying and tears, having offered up prayers and supplications to him who was able to save him from death, and being heard for his reverential awe,

²⁵ Wherefore also he is able to save to the uttermost those who come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them.

¹⁴ And we have seen and bear testimony, that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world.

⁴¹ And they were filled with the most reverential awe, and said one to another, What manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?

⁶ Then said Peter, I have neither silver nor gold; but what I have, that I give thee: By the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarean, arise, and walk!

¹² Then Peter observing it, addressed himself to the people, Ye men of Israel, why marvel ye at this? or why gaze ye upon us, as if by our own power or piety we had enabled this man to walk?

³⁴ And Peter said to him, AEneas, Jesus the Messiah maketh thee whole: arise, and make thine own bed. And he arose immediately.

⁴⁰ But Peter putting them all out, fell upon his knees, and prayed; and turning to the body, said, Tabitha, arise! And she opened her eyes: and when she saw Peter, she sat up.

⁴³ And he very strongly charged them that no person should know it; and ordered something to be given her to eat.

¹⁵ And the dead man sat up, and began to speak: and he delivered him to his mother.

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.

³⁰ I and my Father are one.

⁴⁰ Then they took the body, and bound it with swathes together with the aromatics, as the custom is with the Jews to bury.

⁵ And stooping forward, he sees the swathing clothes lying there; yet he did not go in.

⁷ and the napkin, which had been round his head, not laid with the linen swathes, but apart folded up in another place.

⁹ And a certain youth named Eutytchus, who sat in the window, fell into a profound sleep: as Paul discoursed much longer than usual, quite overpowered with sleep, he fell down from a third story, and was taken up dead. ¹⁰ But Paul came down, and fell upon him, and taking him in his arms, said, Trouble not yourselves, for his life is yet in him. ¹¹ And when he had gone up, and broken bread, and eaten, and conversed a long time, even to the break of day, he then departed. ¹² And they brought the lad alive, and were comforted exceedingly.

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.

²³ Now while he was at Jerusalem at the passover, during the feast, many believed on his name, when they beheld the miracles which he did.

³¹ But many of the multitude believed on him, and said, When the Messiah cometh, will he do greater miracles than those which this man doth?

⁴¹ And many came to him, and said, That John indeed performed no miracle: but all things whatsoever John spake of this man were true.

⁹ Then the whole multitude of the Jews knew that he was there: and they came not for the sake of Jesus only, but also that they might see Lazarus, whom he had raised from the dead. ¹⁰ Then the chief priests consulted how they might kill Lazarus also; ¹¹ because on his account many of the Jews went away, and believed on Jesus.

¹⁷ Then the multitude that was with him, when he called Lazarus out of the tomb, and raised him from the dead, bore their testimony. ¹⁸ Therefore also the multitude met him, because they had heard that he had done this miracle. ¹⁹ Then said the Pharisees among themselves, Do ye not perceive that ye gain no advantage? behold, the world is gone after him.

⁴² However, notwithstanding, many even of the rulers believed on him; but on account of the Pharisees they did not make open profession, lest they should be put out of the synagogues:

³⁰ But he said, Ah no, father Abraham! but if one came to them from the dead, they will repent. ³¹ Then he said to him, If they hearken not to Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded though one rose from the dead.

¹⁵ The man went, and informed the Jews, that it was Jesus who had made him whole. ¹⁶ And therefore did the Jews persecute Jesus, and sought to kill him, because he had done these things on the sabbath-day.

¹³ They brought him to the Pharisees, who had before been blind.

³⁷ Now, though he had done so many miracles before them, they believed not on him:

²⁵ Then came a person and informed them, saying, the men whom ye put in prison are standing in the temple, and teaching the people.

²² but I say unto you, That every man who is angry with his brother without cause, shall be liable to the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be liable to the sanhedrim: but whosever shall say, Thou fool, shall be liable to be cast into hell fire.

³ Then were the chief priests and scribes, and the elders of the people gathered together in the palace of the high-priest, called Caiaphas.

¹ NOW when the morning came, all the chief priests and the elders of the people took counsel against Jesus how they might put him to death. ² And having bound him, they led him away, and delivered him to Pontius Pilate the governor.

¹ NOW the passover and the feast of unleavened bread were but two days distant; and the chief priests, and the scribes, sought how they might seize him by craft, and kill him.

² And the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might destroy him; for they were afraid of the people.

⁵⁷ Now both the chief priests and the Pharisees had given commandment, that, if any person knew where he was, they should declare it, that they might apprehend him.

¹⁹ Then said the Pharisees among themselves, Do ye not perceive that ye gain no advantage? behold, the world is gone after him.

⁵ Now it came to pass that the next morning, their rulers, and elders, and scribes, were assembled at Jerusalem, ⁶ and Annas the high-priest, and Caiaphas, and John, and Alexander, and as many as were the high-priest's relations.

¹⁶ saying, What shall we do with these men? for that an acknowledged miracle hath been wrought by them is evident to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and we cannot deny it. ¹⁷ But that it be no farther spread among the people, we will menace them with threats, no more to speak in this name to any man.

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, ²⁸ to do all that thy hand and thy counsel predestined should come to pass.

²¹ Having heard this therefore, they entered very early in the morning into the temple, and taught. But when the high-priest came, and those who were with him, they convoked the sanhedrim, and all the assembly of elders of the children of Israel, and sent to the prison to bring them.

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.

⁴⁰ When therefore the master of the vineyard cometh, what will he do with these husbandmen? ⁴¹ They say unto him, He will dreadfully destroy those wicked wretches, and will let out his vineyard to other husbandmen, who will render him the fruits in their seasons. ⁴² Jesus saith unto them, Have ye not read in the Scriptures, "The stone, which the builders rejected; the same is become the head of the corner; this is done by the Lord, and it is wonderful in our eyes."

⁷ Then the king, when he heard it, was incensed: and sending out his armies, destroyed these murderers, and burnt down their city.

³⁵ that upon you may come all the righteous blood which hath been poured out upon the earth, from the blood of the righteous Abel, to the blood of Zachariah, son of Barachiah, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar. ³⁶ Verily I say unto you, All these things shall come on this generation. ³⁷ O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, that killest the prophets, and stonest those who were sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children to me, as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not? ³⁸ Behold, your habitation is left unto you desolate.

²⁵ Then all the people answering said, His blood be on us, and on our children.

¹² They by the road side, are such as hear; then cometh the devil, and taketh the word from their heart, that they should not be saved in believing.

⁵² Wo unto you, teachers of the law! for ye have taken away the key of knowledge; ye yourselves enter not in, and those who were entering ye have hindered.

⁴¹ And as he drew near, beholding the city, he wept over it, ⁴² saying, Oh that thou hadst known, even in this thy day, the things that are for thy peace! but now they are hid from thine eyes. ⁴³ For the days will come upon thee, when thy enemies shall cast up a trench around thee, and encircle thee about, and straiten thee on every side, ⁴⁴ and will dash thee on the ground, and thy children within thee; and will not leave in thee one stone upon another: because thou knewest not the season of thy visitation.

²⁰ But when ye see Jerusalem, encircled with armies, then know that the desolation of it approaches. ²¹ Then let those who are in Judea fly unto the mountains; and let those who are in the midst of her get far away: and they who are in the countries, let them not enter into her. ²² For these are the days of vengeance, when all things which are written shall be fulfilled. ²³ But wo to those who are big with child, and have infants at their breasts, in those days! for there shall be great distress on the earth, and wrath upon this people. ²⁴ And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden under foot of the Gentiles, until the times appointed for the Gentiles shall come to their period.

²⁸ But Jesus turning to them, said, Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but for yourselves, and for your children. ²⁹ For, behold, the days are coming, in which they shall say, Blessed are the barren, and the wombs which have not borne, and the breasts which never suckled. ³⁰ Then shall they begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us! and to the hills, Cover us! ³¹ For if they do all these things with the green wood, what will be done with the dry?

⁷ He came for a witness, that he might bear testimony concerning the Light, that all men through him might believe.

²⁸ saying, Did we not lay our strict injunction upon you, that you should not teach in this name? and, lo, ye have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine, and would fain bring this man's blood upon us.

³⁸ And as to the matters now before you, I say unto you, Abstain from these men, and leave them to themselves: for if this design or this work be of men, it will come to nothing: ³⁹ but if it be of God, ye cannot overthrow it; and in that case would be found fighters against God. ⁴⁰ And to him they assented: and calling in the apostles, after scourging them, they commanded them not to speak in the name of Jesus, and dismissed them.

¹⁵ who both murdered the Lord Jesus and their own prophets, and have persecuted us, and please not God, and are in opposition to all mankind; ¹⁶ forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles, that they might be saved, to fill up the measure of their iniquities always: but wrath is coming upon them to the extremity.

² when Annas and Caiaphas were high-priests, the word of God came to John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness;

⁴⁸ Hath any one of the rulers or of the Pharisees believed on him? ⁴⁹ But this rabble, which knoweth not the law, is accursed.

⁵¹ And this he spake not from himself: but being the high-priest of that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for the nation;

¹³ and led him away to Annas first; for he was father-in-law to Caiaphas, who was the high-priest of that year. ¹⁴ Now Caiaphas was the person who had given his advice to the Jews, that it was expedient that one man should be destroyed instead of the people.

⁶ and Annas the high-priest, and Caiaphas, and John, and Alexander, and as many as were the high-priest's relations.

²⁰ Where is the sophist? where is the scribe? where is the inquisitive searcher after this world's wisdom? hath not God turned into folly the wisdom of this world?

⁶ But we speak wisdom among the perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the rulers of this world, who are destroying themselves:

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. ¹⁹ For the wisdom of this world is folly in the sight of God. For it is written, "He entangleth the wise in their own craftiness."

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

⁴⁸ If we suffer him to go on thus, all men will believe on him: and the Romans will come, and take away both our place and nation.

¹⁴ Now Caiaphas was the person who had given his advice to the Jews, that it was expedient that one man should be destroyed instead of the people.

¹² Upon this Pilate sought to release him: but the Jews clamoured, saying, If thou release this fellow, thou art no friend of Caesar's: every one who professes himself a king, speaks in opposition to Caesar.

⁸ And why not admit, (as we are falsely reported of; and as some affirm we say,) That we should do evil things, that good may come? whose condemnation is just.

²² Many will say unto me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have we not cast out devils? and in thy name done many miracles? ²³ And then will I profess unto them, that I never knew you: depart from me, ye workers of iniquity.

²⁸ Even as the Son of man came not to be waited upon, but to serve, and to give his life a ransom for many.

¹⁵ As the Father knoweth me, so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep.

²⁵ whom God hath proposed as the propitiatory sacrifice through faith in his blood, in demonstration of his justice for the remission of past sins, through the patience of God; ²⁶ for a demonstration of his justice at this present time: that he might be just, though justifying him who is of the faith of Jesus.

² And though I have the gift of prophecy, and know all mysteries, and all manner of science; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.

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.

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:"

⁴ but when the fulness of time was come, God sent forth his Son born of a woman, born under the law, ⁵ that he might redeem those who were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons.

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."

¹⁸ For Christ also suffered once for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, put to death indeed in the flesh, but raised to life by the Spirit:

¹⁵ who forsaking the strait road are gone out of the way, following the path of Balaam the son of Bosor who loved the wages of iniquity. ¹⁶ But received a reproof for his peculiar transgression: the dumb ass articulating with a human voice restrained the perverseness of the prophet. ¹⁷ These are fountains without water, clouds driven by a hurricane; for whom the blackness of darkness for ever is reserved.

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;

³² A light to give revelation to the Gentiles, and glory to thy people Israel.

²⁹ The next day John seeth Jesus coming to him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, who taketh away the sin of the world,

¹⁶ And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: these also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, one shepherd.

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

¹⁰ for I am with thee, and no man shall set himself against thee to do thee harm; because I have much people in this city.

²⁹ Is he the God of the Jews only, and is he not also of the Gentiles? Yes, verily, of the Gentiles also:

²⁹ For whom he foreknew, he predestinated also to a conformity with the image of his Son, that he might be the first-begotten among many brethren. ³⁰ But whom he predestinated, those also he called: and whom he called, those also he justified: but whom he justified, those also he glorified.

²⁵ As also he saith in Hosea, "I will call her which was not my people, my people; and her which was not beloved, beloved. ²⁶ And it shall be in the place where it was said unto them, ye are not my people; there shall they be called the sons of the living God."

⁵ having predestinated us for his adopted children by Jesus Christ unto himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,

⁹ having made known to us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure, which he purposed in himself; 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:

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. ¹⁹ So then ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellow-citizens with the saints, and of the household of God; ²⁰ built up on the foundation of apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone; ²¹ in whom the whole building exactly cemented together groweth into a holy temple in the Lord: ²² by whom also ye have been built up together for an habitation of God through the Spirit.

¹¹ according to the purpose from everlasting, which he formed in Christ Jesus our Lord:

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. ²¹ And you who in time past were all aliens, and enemies in mind by wicked works, hath he now reconciled, ²² by the body of his flesh, through death, to present you holy, and blameless, and irreprehensible in his presence: 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.

¹³ But we are bound to give thanks always to God for you, brethren, beloved of the Lord, because God hath elected you from the beginning unto salvation, by sanctification of the Spirit, and faith in the truth: ¹⁴ whereunto also he called you by our gospel, in order to your acquisition of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

¹ JAMES, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are dispersed, greeting.

¹ PETER, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the sojourners, dispersed through Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia,

² and he himself is the propitiatory victim for our sins: and indeed not for ours only, but for the whole world.

⁹ And they sung a new song, saying, Worthy art thou to take the book, and to open the seals thereon; because thou hast been slaughtered, and hast redeemed us for God by thy blood, out of every tribe, and tongue, and people, and nation;

⁹ After these things I looked, and beheld a great multitude, which no man could number, out of every nation, and tribe, and people, and tongue, standing before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, and palm branches in their hands ¹⁰ and crying with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God that sitteth on the throne, and to the Lamb.

²¹ From that time Jesus began to shew his disciples, that he must go to Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders, and of the chief-priests, and of the scribes, and be put to death, and the third day rise again.

⁴⁶ And no man could answer him a word, neither durst any man, from that day, interrogate him any more.

⁵⁹ Now the chief priests and elders and the whole sanhedrim, sought false witness against Jesus, that they might put him to death;

⁶ And the Pharisees instantly going out, held a council with the Herodians against him, how they might destroy him.

⁴⁷ The chief priests and Pharisees therefore called the sanhedrim together, and said, What are we about? for this man is doing many miracles.

¹⁰ Then the chief priests consulted how they might kill Lazarus also;

³³ But when they heard this, they were cut asunder as with a saw, and took counsel how to make away with them.

²³ But when many days were fulfilled, the Jews consulted together how to kill him:

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.

¹ AND Jesus after these things travelled about in Galilee: for he would not go about in Judea, because the Jews sought to kill him.

⁴ For no man doeth any thing in secret, yet seeketh himself to appear publicly: if thou doest these things, exhibit thyself to the world.

¹⁰ But as soon as his disciples were gone up, then went he also himself up to the feast: not in public, but as in concealment.

¹³ Yet no person spake openly of him for fear of the Jews.

⁴⁰ and went again beyond Jordan, unto the place where John at first baptised; and there he abode.

²⁰ Jesus answered him, I spake openly to the world; I always taught in the synagogue, and in the temple, whither the Jews resorted; and in secret have I spoken nothing.

¹ AND it came to pass, that when Jesus had finished all these sayings, he said to his disciples,

⁶ Now there stood there six large stone jars, for the customary purifying ablution of the Jews, containing two or three baths each.

¹³ And the passover of the Jews was nigh, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

¹ AFTER these things there was a feast of the Jews; and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

⁴ And the passover, a feast of the Jews, was nigh.

⁸ Go ye up to this feast: for I am not yet going up to this feast, because my fixed time is not yet arrived. ⁹ Thus speaking to them then, he continued in Galilee. ¹⁰ But as soon as his disciples were gone up, then went he also himself up to the feast: not in public, but as in concealment.

¹ JESUS then before the days of the passover came to Bethany, where the deceased Lazarus was, whom he had raised from the dead.

¹ NOW before the feast of the passover, Jesus, knowing that his hour was come, that he should go out of this world to the Father, having loved his peculiar people that are in the world, he loved them to the end.

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.

¹⁸ In the discharge of which offices certain Jews of Asia found me purified in the temple, neither with a multitude, nor with any tumult.

²⁸ But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of the bread, and drink of the cup.

¹³ For if the blood of bulls, and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the defiled sanctifieth to corporal purification, ¹⁴ how much more shall the blood of Christ, who, by the eternal Spirit, offered up himself in sacrifice without blemish to God, cleanse our conscience from dead works, that we may perform divine service to the living God?

⁸ Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Make clean your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double-minded.

¹¹ The Jews then sought for him at the feast, and said, Where is he?

⁷ But after that he saith to his disciples, Let us go again into Judea. ⁸ The disciples say unto him, Rabbi, the Jews have just now sought to stone thee; and art thou going thither again?

¹⁶ And therefore did the Jews persecute Jesus, and sought to kill him, because he had done these things on the sabbath-day. ¹⁷ Then Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and I work. ¹⁸ Therefore sought they the more to kill him, because he had not only broken the sabbath, but called God his own Father, setting himself on an equality with God.

²² So spake his parents, because they were afraid of the Jews: for the Jews had already come to a resolution, that if any person acknowledged him Messiah, he should be excluded the synagogue.
