John 5 Cross References - Haweis

¹ AFTER these things there was a feast of the Jews; and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. ² Now there is at Jerusalem near the sheep-market a pool, called in the Hebrew tongue Bethesda, having five porticos. ³ In these lay a vast multitude of infirm persons, blind, lame, withered, waiting the motion of the water. ⁴ For occasionally an angel descended into the pool, and put the water into commotion: he therefore who first stepped in after the commotion of the water became well, under whatever complaint he had laboured. ⁵ And there was a certain man there, who had a complaint of thirty years standing. ⁶ Jesus seeing him laid there, and knowing that he had been so for a long while, saith to him, Wilt thou be made sound? ⁷ The infirm man answered him, Sir, I have no man, when the water is disturbed, to cast me into the pool: but when I am coming, another goeth down before me. ⁸ Jesus saith to him, Arise, take up thy bed, and walk. ⁹ And instantly the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and walked away: and that day was the sabbath. ¹⁰ The Jews therefore said to him that was cured, It is the sabbath: it is not lawful for thee to carry thy bed. ¹¹ He answered them, He that made me whole, the same person said to me, Take up thy bed, and walk. ¹² Then they asked him, Who is the man that said to thee, Take up thy bed, and walk? ¹³ Now he that was cured knew not who he was: for Jesus had slipped away, a crowd being on the spot. ¹⁴ After these things Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, Take care; thou art made whole: sin no more, lest something worse befall thee. 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. 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. ¹⁹ Jesus therefore answered and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing by himself, except what he hath seen the Father do: for whatsoever things he doeth, the same and in the same manner doth the Son. ²⁰ For the Father loveth the Son, and sheweth him all things which he himself doeth: and greater works than these will he shew him, that ye may wonder. ²¹ For as the Father raiseth the dead, and quickeneth them; so also doth the Son quicken whom he pleases. 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. 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. ³⁰ I am not able to perform any thing by myself: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; for I seek not my own will, but the will of my Father who sent me. ³¹ If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true. ³² There is another who beareth witness of me, and I know that his witness is true which he witnesseth concerning me. ³³ Ye sent to John, and he bore testimony to the truth. ³⁴ But I receive not testimony from man: but I speak these things, that ye may believe. ³⁵ He was a lamp glowing and luminous: and ye were pleased for a time to exult in his light. ³⁶ But I have a testimony greater than that of John: for the works which the Father hath given me that I should fulfil them, these very works which I am doing, they bear witness of me, that the Father hath sent me. ³⁷ And the Father who sent me, himself hath borne witness concerning me. Ye have neither at any time heard his voice, nor seen his form. ³⁸ And ye have not his word abiding in you: for whom he hath sent, him ye believe not. 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. ⁴¹ I receive not glory from men. ⁴² But I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you. ⁴³ I have come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: if another come in his own name, him ye will receive. ⁴⁴ How can ye believe, who receiving honour one from another, seek not the honour which cometh from God alone? ⁴⁵ Do not suppose that I shall accuse you to my Father: there is one who is accusing you, even Moses, on whom ye place your hope. ⁴⁶ For if ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me: for of me did he write. ⁴⁷ But if ye believe not his writings, how will ye believe my words?

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

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;

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

⁵ And while he was yet speaking, behold, a luminous cloud overshadowed them; and lo! a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom is my delight; hear him!

²² All things are given up to me by my Father: and no man knoweth who is the Son, but the Father; and who is the Father, but the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son is pleased to reveal him.

¹⁸ No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, he hath thoroughly described him.

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.

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?

⁴⁵ And he that seeth me, seeth him that sent me. ⁴⁶ I am come a light into the world, that every one who believeth on me should not abide in darkness. ⁴⁷ And if any man, hearing my words, believeth not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.

¹² Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works which I do shall he do also; yea, and greater than these shall he do; because I go to the Father.

¹⁵ I no more call you servants; for the servant knoweth not what his master is doing: but I have called you friends because I have made known to you all things which I have heard of my Father.

²⁶ And I have made known to them thy name, and will make it known: that the love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them.

¹⁷ For he received from God the Father honour and glory, when such a voice was sent forth to him from the transcendently magnificent glory, This is my beloved son, in whom I am well pleased.

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.

⁵⁴ And he put them all without, and taking her by the hand, cried, saying, Maid, arise! ⁵⁵ And her spirit returned, and she immediately arose; and he commanded to give her something to eat.

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:

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!

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:

⁸ What! is it judged a thing incredible by you, that God should raise the dead?

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:

²⁷ For the Son of man shall hereafter come in the glory of his Father, with his angels, and then shall he recompense every man according to his practice.

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.

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

²⁷ and hath given him authority also to execute judgment, because he is the Son of man.

³⁹ And Jesus said, For judgment I am come into this world, that they who see not may see; and they who see become blind.

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.

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.

¹⁶ in the day when God shall judge the hidden things of men, according to my gospel by Jesus Christ.

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. ¹¹ For it is written, "As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall make confession to God." ¹² Assuredly then every one of us shall give an account of himself to God.

⁷ and to you who are troubled, rest with us, at the revelation of the Lord Jesus Christ from heaven with his mighty angels, ⁸ in a flame of fire, taking vengeance of them that know not God, and obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: ⁹ who shall receive punishment, even eternal perdition, from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power: ¹⁰ when he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired by all those who believe; because our testimony was believed among you in that day.

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;

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

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.

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

²¹ And in his name shall the Gentiles hope."

³⁷ Then Jesus said to him, "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind." ³⁸ This is the first and great commandment.

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:

¹⁶ He that heareth you, heareth me; and he that despiseth you, despiseth me; and he that despiseth me, despiseth Him that sent me.

⁸ But I tell you, Every one who shall confess me before men, him will the Son of man also confess before the angels of God: ⁹ but he that disowns me before men, shall be disowned before the angels of God.

¹ LET not your hearts be troubled: trust in God, and trust in me.

²³ He that hateth me hateth my Father also. ²⁴ If I had not done among them the works which no other ever did, they would not have had sin: but now they have both seen and hated both me and my Father.

¹⁴ He shall glorify me: for he shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto you.

¹⁰ And all mine are thine, and thine mine; and I have been glorified in them.

⁷ To all that are at Rome, beloved of God, called saints, grace unto you, and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.

²² But now being set at liberty from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and at the end life eternal.

⁹ But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwelleth in you. But if any man hath not the Spirit of Christ, he is not his.

⁷ For no one of us liveth to himself, and no one dieth to himself. ⁸ For whether we live, to the Lord we live, and whether we die, to the Lord we die; whether therefore we live, or whether we die, we are the Lord's. 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.

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."

³ grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ.

¹⁹ Do ye not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost, which is in you, which ye have from God, and ye are not your own?

³¹ Whether therefore ye eat or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all things to the glory of God.

²² If any man love not the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be Anathema, Maranatha.

⁹ for we ourselves, in ourselves have received the sentence of death, that we should have no confidence in ourselves, but in God who raiseth the dead.

¹⁴ For the love of Christ constraineth us, because we judge thus, that if one died for all, then were all dead:

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.

¹⁴ The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost be with you all. Amen.

¹² that we should be to the praise of his glory, who first had hope in Christ. ¹³ In whom ye also [trusted] after ye had heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, ye have been sealed with the holy Spirit of promise,

²⁴ Grace be with all those who love our Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity.

¹¹ Now God himself, and our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ direct our way unto you. ¹² And the Lord cause you to abound and overflow with love one to another, and towards all men, as we also do to you: ¹³ to the end that your hearts may be established blameless in holiness before God and our Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all his saints.

¹⁶ Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and our God, and Father, who hath loved us, and given us everlasting consolation, and good hope through grace, ¹⁷ comfort your hearts, and stablish you in every good word and work.

¹² For which cause also I suffer these things; but I am not ashamed: for I know on whom I have placed my confidence, and am persuaded that he is mighty to guard my deposit unto the great day.

¹³ expecting the blessed hope, and glorious appearing of our great God and Saviour Jesus Christ; ¹⁴ who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify to himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.

⁴ But even then the kindness and love of God our Saviour to man shone forth, ⁵ not for works of righteousness which we had done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the laver of regeneration, and by renovation of the Holy Spirit; ⁶ which he poured out upon us richly through Jesus Christ our Saviour;

⁶ And again, when he introduces the first-begotten into the world, he saith, "Let all the angels of God also worship him."

¹ SIMON Peter, the servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who have obtained with us the same precious faith by the righteousness of our God and Saviour Jesus Christ:

¹⁸ But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory now and unto the day of eternity. Amen.

²³ Every one that denieth the Son, neither doth he hold the Father; but he that acknowledgeth the Son, holdeth the Father also.

⁹ Every one that transgresseth and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God: he that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, this man holdeth both the Father and the Son.

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. 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; ¹⁰ and hast made us for our God kings and priests, and we shall reign upon the earth. ¹¹ And I looked, and heard the voice of many angels around the throne, and the living beings, and the presbyters, and their number was myriads of myriads and thousands of thousands, ¹² crying with a loud voice, Worthy is the slaughtered lamb to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and might, and honour, and glory, and blessing. ¹³ And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and those who are on the sea, and all things which are therein, heard I, saying, To him who is seated on the throne, and to the lamb, be blessing, and honour, and glory, and might for ever and ever. 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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

⁴⁷ Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life.

⁵¹ Verily, verily, I say unto you, If any man observe my saying, he shall never see death to all eternity.

²⁷ My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: 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. ²⁹ My Father, who gave them to me, is greater than all and no one shall pluck them out of my Father's hand. ³⁰ I and my Father are one.

²⁶ and every one who is alive, and believeth in me, shall never die to eternity. Believest thou this?

⁴⁴ Then Jesus cried and said, He that believeth on me, believeth not on me, but on him that 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.

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

¹⁶ The same spirit beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God. ¹⁷ But if children, then heirs; heirs indeed of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be we suffer with him, that we may also together with him be glorified.

²⁸ But we know that to those who love God all things work together for good, even to those who are called according to his purpose. 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.

³³ Who shall put in an accusation against the elect of God? God? He is their justifier. 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." 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."

⁹ For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,

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.

⁵ who are guarded by the omnipotence of God, through faith to obtain the salvation which is ready to appear at the last time.

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.

¹⁴ We know that we are passed out of [a state of] death into life, because we love the brethren: he that loveth not his brother abideth in death.

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.

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. ¹³ These things have I written to you who believe on the name of the Son of God, that ye may know that ye have life eternal, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.

⁶⁰ And Jesus said unto him, Leave the dead to bury their own dead, but go thou, preach the kingdom of God.

²⁴ For this my son was dead, and is alive again; and was lost, and is found. And they began to be joyous.

³² But it was right that we should rejoice, and be glad: for this thy brother was dead, and is alive again; and was lost, and is found.

²¹ Jesus saith to her, Woman, believe me, that the hour approaches, when ye shall worship the Father neither in this mountain, nor at Jerusalem.

²³ But the hour is coming, yea, is now come, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such worshippers of him.

²⁸ Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in which all who are in the graves shall hear his voice,

⁴³ Wherefore do ye not understand my speech? because ye cannot hear my word.

⁴⁷ He that is of God heareth the words of God: ye therefore do not hear him, because ye are not of God.

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.

¹ THESE things spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son may glorify thee:

¹ AND you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins,

¹⁴ Wherefore he saith, "Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light."

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;

¹ AND to the angel of the church in Sardis write, These things saith he that hath the seven spirits of God, and the seven stars; I know thy works, and that thou hast a name, as though thou wert alive, yet art dead.

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

¹⁰ Jesus answered and said to her, If thou hadst known the gift of God, and who he is that speaketh to thee, thou wouldest have requested him, and he would have given thee life-giving water.

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.

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. ³⁸ He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, from his belly shall rivers flow of living water.

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.

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: ³ and this is eternal life, that they should know thee the only true God, and him whom thou hast sent, Jesus, the Messiah.

²⁵ nor is he served by human hands, as if he needed any creature, himself imparting to all beings life, and breath, and all things.

⁴⁵ And so it is written, There was a first man Adam a living soul; a last Adam a quickening spirit.

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.

¹⁷ Now to the king eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, be honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen.

¹⁶ who alone possesseth immortality, inhabiting light inaccessible, whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom be honour and glory eternal. Amen.

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;) ³ that which we have seen and heard, declare we to you, that ye also may have communion with us: and indeed our communion is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.

¹⁷ Because the Lamb who is in the midst of the throne will feed them, as a shepherd, and lead them unto living fountains of waters; and God shall wipe away every tear from their eyes.

⁶ And he said to me, It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end; I will give to him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.

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.

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

²⁵ For he must reign, until he hath put all enemies under his feet.

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.

⁷ but emptied himself, assuming the form of a servant, made after the similitude of mortal men; ⁸ and found in fashion as man, he humbled himself, becoming obedient to death, even to the death of the cross. ⁹ Wherefore God also hath transcendently exalted him, and bestowed on him a name which is above every name: ¹⁰ that to the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of beings celestial and terrestrial, and infernal; ¹¹ and every tongue should confess that the Lord Jesus [is] Messiah, to the glory of God the Father.

⁷ "Thou hast made him for a little while lower than angels, thou hast crowned him with glory and honour, and hast placed him over the works of thy hands: ⁸ thou hast subjected all things under his feet." Now in subjecting all things to him, he left nothing unsubjected to him; but at present we see not yet all things subjected to him. ⁹ But we see Jesus for a little while made lower than angels, by the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour, that, by the grace of God, he might taste of death for every one.

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

⁷ Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.

²⁰ For the Father loveth the Son, and sheweth him all things which he himself doeth: and greater works than these will he shew him, that ye may wonder.

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.

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:

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?

²² For as in Adam all are dead, so also in Christ shall all be made alive.

⁴² So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption: 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.

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. ¹⁵ For this I say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive, who are left unto the coming of the Lord, shall not prevent those who are fallen asleep. ¹⁶ For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trumpet of God; and the dead in Christ shall rise first: 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.

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.

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

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.

⁶ who will recompense to every man according to his works; ⁷ to those who, in the patient practice of good works, seek glory and honour and immortality—eternal life. ⁸ But to those who are of a contentious spirit, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation, and wrath; ⁹ tribulation and anguish upon every soul of man that doeth wickedness, of the Jew first, and also of the Greek. ¹⁰ But glory and honour and peace be to every man who doeth that which is good, to the Jew first and also to the Greek:

⁸ For he that soweth unto his flesh, shall of the flesh reap corruption, and he that soweth to the Spirit, shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. ⁹ Let us not then be weary of well-doing; for in due time we shall reap, if we faint not. ¹⁰ Well then, whilst we have opportunity, let us do good unto all men, but especially unto those who are of the household of faith.

¹⁸ to do good, to be rich in generous actions, to take pleasure in liberality, ready to distribute;

¹⁶ But of beneficence, and liberal distribution, be not unmindful: for such sacrifices God accepts with delight.

¹¹ Let him depart from every wicked thing, and do good; let him seek peace, and pursue it."

³⁹ And going a little farther, he fell on his face, praying, and saying, My Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless, not as I will, but as thou wilt.

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

¹⁹ Jesus therefore answered and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing by himself, except what he hath seen the Father do: for whatsoever things he doeth, the same and in the same manner doth the Son.

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

¹⁵ Ye judge after the flesh; I judge no man. ¹⁶ But though I should judge, my judgment is true: for I am not alone, but I and the Father who sent me.

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.

⁵⁰ But I seek not my own glory: there is one that seeketh and judgeth.

⁴ I have glorified thee upon earth: I have completed the work which thou gavest me to perform.

¹¹ Then said Jesus to Peter, Put up thy sword into the scabbard: the cup which my Father hath given me, shall I not drink it?

² But we know that the judgment of God is according to truth, against those who practise such things.

⁵ But after thy obdurate and impenitent heart treasurest up for thyself wrath at the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God,

³ For even Christ gratified not himself; but as it is written, "The reproaches of them that reproached thee are fallen upon me."

¹³ The Pharisees said to him, Thou bearest witness of thyself; thy witness is not true. ¹⁴ Jesus answered and said to them, Though I do bear witness of myself, my witness is true: for I know whence I came, and whither I am going; but ye know not whence I come, nor whither I am going.

¹⁴ And to the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write, These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the origin of the creation of God;

¹¹ and a voice came from heaven, Thou art my beloved Son, in thee I am well pleased.

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.

³³ And I did not know him: but he that sent me baptising with water, he said to me, Upon whomsoever thou shalt see the Spirit descending as a dove, and resting upon him, that is he who baptiseth with the Holy Ghost.

³⁶ But I have a testimony greater than that of John: for the works which the Father hath given me that I should fulfil them, these very works which I am doing, they bear witness of me, that the Father hath sent me. ³⁷ And the Father who sent me, himself hath borne witness concerning me. Ye have neither at any time heard his voice, nor seen his form.

¹⁷ Now even in your law it is written, that the testimony of two men is true. ¹⁸ I am a witness for myself, and the Father who sent me beareth witness of me.

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.

⁵⁰ And I know that his commandment is life eternal: therefore the things which I speak to you, just as the Father spake to me, so speak I.

⁶ This is he who came by water and blood, Jesus the Messiah; not by the water only, but by the water and the blood: and the Spirit is the witnessing person, because the Spirit is the truth. ⁷ For they are three who bear witness in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit, and these, even the three, are one. ⁸ And there are three which bear witness upon earth, the spirit, and the water, and the blood, and the three are for the same one object. ⁹ If we receive the testimony of man, the testimony of God is stronger: for this is the testimony of God which he testified concerning his Son.

⁶ A man was sent from God, whose name was John. ⁷ He came for a witness, that he might bear testimony concerning the Light, that all men through him might believe. ⁸ He was not the Light, but sent that he should bear testimony concerning the Light.

¹⁵ John bore witness concerning him, and cried, saying, This is he of whom I said, He that is coming after me, is before me: because before me he was. ¹⁶ And from his plenitude we all have received, even grace corresponding with [his] grace. ¹⁷ For the law was given by Moses, but the grace and the reality came by Jesus Christ. ¹⁸ No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, he hath thoroughly described him. ¹⁹ And this is the testimony of John, when the Jews sent from Jerusalem priests and Levites, that they should question him, Who art thou? ²⁰ And he confessed, and denied it not; but acknowledged, I am not the Messiah. ²¹ And they asked him, What then? art thou Elias? and he said, I am not. Art thou that prophet? and he answered, No. ²² Then said they to him, Who art thou? that we may give an answer to those who sent us: What description givest thou of thyself? ²³ He said, I am a voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way for the Lord, as said the prophet Isaiah. ²⁴ And they who were sent, were of the Pharisees. ²⁵ And they questioned him, and said to him, Why then dost thou baptise, if thou be not the Messiah, nor Elias, nor that prophet? ²⁶ John answered them, saying, I baptise with water: but in the midst of you hath stood a person, whom ye have not known; ²⁷ it is he, though coming after me, who was before me, the thong of whole sandal I am not worthy to untie.

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, ³⁰ This is he of whom I spake, After me cometh a man who was before me: for before me he existed. ³¹ And I knew him not: though that he might be manifested to Israel, therefore am I come baptising with water. ³² And John bore witness, saying, I saw the Spirit descending as a dove from heaven, and it rested upon him. ³³ And I did not know him: but he that sent me baptising with water, he said to me, Upon whomsoever thou shalt see the Spirit descending as a dove, and resting upon him, that is he who baptiseth with the Holy Ghost. ³⁴ And I have seen it, and have borne testimony that this is the Son of God.

²⁶ And they came to John, and said to him, Rabbi, he that was with thee beyond Jordan, to whom thou gavest testimony, lo! this man baptiseth, and all men come to him. ²⁷ John answered and said, A man cannot assume any thing, except it be given him from heaven. ²⁸ Ye yourselves bear me witness, that I said, I am not the Messiah, but that I am sent before him. ²⁹ It is the bridegroom, who possesses the bride: and the friend of the bridegroom, standing by and hearing him, rejoiceth exceedingly at the bridegroom's voice: this my joy therefore is fulfilled. ³⁰ He must grow great, but I diminutive. ³¹ He that cometh from above is above all: he whose origin is from earth is of the earth, and speaketh of the earth: he who cometh from heaven is above all. ³² And what he hath seen and heard, that he testifieth; though no man receiveth his testimony. ³³ He that receiveth his testimony hath avouched that God is true. ³⁴ For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God hath not given the Spirit by measure unto him. 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.

³⁴ O Jerusalem! Jerusalem! thou that killest the prophets, and stonest those who are sent unto thee; how often would I have collected thy children unto me, just as a hen gathereth her brood under her wings, and ye would not!

¹⁰ For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.

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.

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

⁴¹ I receive not glory from men.

³ For what if some were unbelievers? shall their unbelief render the faithfulness of God ineffectual?

¹ BRETHREN, the kind wish of my heart indeed, and the prayer which I offer to God for Israel, is for their salvation.

²¹ But unto Israel he saith, "All the day long have I stretched out my hands unto a people disobedient and contradicting."

²¹ Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.

²² I became to the weak as weak, that I might gain the weak; I became all things to all men, that by every means I might save some.

³ For this is becoming, and acceptable before God our Saviour; ⁴ who wills all men to be saved, and come to the acknowledgment of truth.

¹⁶ Take heed unto thyself, and to thy doctrine; abide in them: for so doing thou shalt both save thyself, and those who hear thee.

⁹ If we receive the testimony of man, the testimony of God is stronger: for this is the testimony of God which he testified concerning his Son.

⁵ Then went out to him Jerusalem and all Judea, and all the regions about Jordan, ⁶ and were baptized by him in Jordan, on making confession of their sins. ⁷ But when he saw many of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees coming to his baptism, he said to them, O ye broods of vipers! who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?

⁷ And when they were gone, Jesus began to speak to the multitudes concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken with the wind? ⁸ But what went ye out to see? A man clothed in delicate garments? Lo! they who wear delicate garments are in the houses of kings. ⁹ Yet what went ye out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and abundantly more than a prophet.

¹¹ Verily I say unto you, There hath not arisen, from those born of women, a greater than John the Baptist: yet he that is the least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.

²⁰ But the sown on the rocky soil, is he who having heard the word, and instantly with joy receiving it, ²¹ hath not really root in himself, but is merely temporary: and when tribulation or persecution ariseth for the word's sake, immediately he is stumbled.

²⁶ But if we say, From men, we are afraid of the populace, for they all hold John as a prophet.

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.

¹⁵ for he shall be great in the sight of the Lord; and he shall never drink wine, nor any intoxicating liquor; and he shall be filled with the Holy Ghost, even from his mother's womb. ¹⁶ And many of the children of Israel shall he turn unto the Lord, their God. ¹⁷ And he shall go forth before him in the spirit and power of Elias, to convert the hearts of fathers with their children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to prepare a people ready for the Lord.

⁷⁶ And thou, child, shalt be called the prophet of the Most High; for thou shalt go before the face of the Lord to prepare his ways; ⁷⁷ to give the knowledge of salvation to his people, by the remission of their sins,

²⁸ For I tell you, of those born from woman, there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist: but he that is least in the kingdom of heaven, is greater than he.

⁶⁶ From that [discourse] many of his disciples went away back, and no more followed him about.

¹⁵ What then was your blessedness, for I bear witness to you that, if it were possible, ye would have plucked out your eyes, and given them to me. ¹⁶ Am I therefore become your enemy because I tell you the truth?

¹⁹ And we hold the prophetic word more confirmed, to which ye do well to attend, as to a lamp shining in a dark passage, until the day dawn, and the morning-star arise upon your hearts.

⁴ And Jesus answering said unto them, Go, and tell John what things ye hear and see.

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.

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.

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

³² There is another who beareth witness of me, and I know that his witness is true which he witnesseth concerning me.

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.

²⁵ Jesus answered them; I told you, and ye believed not: the works which I do in the name of my Father, they bear witness of me.

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.

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?

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. ¹¹ Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: and at least believe me on account of the works themselves.

²⁴ If I had not done among them the works which no other ever did, they would not have had sin: but now they have both seen and hated both me and my Father.

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:

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.

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.

¹⁸ I am a witness for myself, and the Father who sent me beareth witness of me.

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;)

¹² No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God abideth in us, and his love is perfected in us.

²⁰ If any person say, I love God, yet hateth his brother, he is a liar; for he who loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love the God whom he hath not seen?

¹¹ He came unto his peculiar people, and his peculiar people did not receive him.

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. ¹⁹ Now this is the condemnation, that the light is come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the light, because their deeds were evil. ²⁰ For every one whose practices are foul hateth the light, and cometh not to the light, that his actions may not be brought to conviction. ²¹ But he who practices the truth, cometh to the light, that his actions may be evident, as being done for God.

⁴² But I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you. ⁴³ I have come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: if another come in his own name, him ye will receive.

⁴⁶ For if ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me: for of me did he write. ⁴⁷ But if ye believe not his writings, how will ye believe my words?

³⁷ I know that ye are Abraham's seed; yet ye seek to kill me, because my word has no place in you.

⁴⁶ Which of you can convict me of sin? Now if I speak the truth, why do ye not believe me? ⁴⁷ He that is of God heareth the words of God: ye therefore do not hear him, because ye are not of God.

⁴⁴ Then Jesus cried and said, He that believeth on me, believeth not on me, but on him that sent me. ⁴⁵ And he that seeth me, seeth him that sent me. ⁴⁶ I am come a light into the world, that every one who believeth on me should not abide in darkness. ⁴⁷ And if any man, hearing my words, believeth not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world. ⁴⁸ He that sets me at nought, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: even the word which I have spoken, the same shall judge him at the last day.

⁷ If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask whatsoever ye will, and it shall be done for you.

¹⁶ Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing yourselves in psalms, and hymns, and spiritual canticles, singing with grace in your heart unto the Lord.

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. ²² But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves by false reasoning.

¹⁴ I have written unto you, fathers, because ye have known him, who is from the beginning. I have written unto you, young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God abideth in you, and ye have overcome the wicked one.

¹⁶ And lo! a person coming to him, said, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, in order to attain eternal life? ¹⁷ Then he said to him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, even God: but if thou art desirous of entering into life, keep the commandments. ¹⁸ He saith unto him, Which? Then said Jesus, these, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, ¹⁹ Honour thy father and thy mother; and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. ²⁰ The young man saith to him, All these things have I observed from my youth: in what am I still deficient?

²⁹ Jesus then answering, said unto them, Ye are in an error, from not knowing the Scriptures, and the power of God.

¹⁰ Have ye never read this scripture? "The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner:

²⁵ And, behold, a certain doctor of the law arose, to make trial of him, saying, Master, by doing what shall I inherit eternal life? ²⁶ And he said unto him, What is written in the law? How readest thou? ²⁷ And he answering said, "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might, and with all thy understanding, and thy neighbour as thyself." ²⁸ And he said unto him, Thou hast answered rightly: this do, and thou shalt live. ²⁹ Then he, desirous to make himself appear a righteous person, said unto Jesus, And who is my neighbour?

²⁹ Abraham saith to him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hearken to them.

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.

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 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.

³⁶ But I have a testimony greater than that of John: for the works which the Father hath given me that I should fulfil them, these very works which I am doing, they bear witness of me, that the Father hath sent me.

⁴⁶ For if ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me: for of me did he write.

⁵² They answered and said to him, Art thou not from Galilee too? Search and see: for a prophet, out of Galilee, never was raised up.

³² The portion of scripture which he had been reading was this: "He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; and as a lamb before him who sheareth it is dumb, so he opened not his mouth: ³³ in his humiliation his judgment was taken away: but his generation who can describe? for his life was taken away from the earth." ³⁴ Then the eunuch addressing himself to Philip, said, I pray thee, of whom doth the prophet thus speak? of himself, or of some other person? ³⁵ Then Philip opening his mouth, and beginning from that scripture, preached to him Jesus.

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.

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.

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: ²³ that the Messiah should suffer, [and] that he being the first who should rise from the dead, should display light to the people, and to the Gentiles.

²⁷ King Agrippa! believest thou the prophets? I know that thou believest.

² (which he had promised before by his prophets in the holy scriptures,)

¹⁷ Lo! thou art named a Jew, and restest on the law, and boastest in God, ¹⁸ and knowest the will of God, and bringest to the test the things that are different, being instructed out of the law;

² Much in every view: the principal one indeed is, that the oracles of God were entrusted to them.

¹⁴ But abide thou in the things which thou hast learned and believed, knowing of whom thou hast learned them; ¹⁵ and that from a child thou hast known the sacred writings, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Jesus Christ. ¹⁶ All scripture is given by the inspiration of God, and advantageous for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness ¹⁷ that the man of God may be properly furnished, fully qualified for every good work.

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.

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

¹⁰ Concerning which salvation the prophets eagerly sought and diligently inquired, who prophesied of the grace which is come to you: 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.

¹⁹ And we hold the prophetic word more confirmed, to which ye do well to attend, as to a lamp shining in a dark passage, until the day dawn, and the morning-star arise upon your hearts. ²⁰ Knowing this in the first place, that all scriptural prophecy is not from any man's own suggestions. ²¹ For prophecy in old time came not by the will of man: but the holy men of God spake under the impulse of the Holy Ghost.

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.

³ and sent his servants to call those who were invited to the entertainment: and they would not come.

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?

¹⁹ Now this is the condemnation, that the light is come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the light, because their deeds were evil.

⁴⁴ How can ye believe, who receiving honour one from another, seek not the honour which cometh from God alone?

³⁷ Every individual which the Father giveth me will come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in nowise cast out.

⁶⁸ Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, unto whom shall we go from thee? thou hast the words of eternal life. ⁶⁹ And we have believed and known that thou art the Messiah, the Son of the living God.

⁴⁵ But because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not. ⁴⁶ Which of you can convict me of sin? Now if I speak the truth, why do ye not believe me?

³⁷ Now, though he had done so many miracles before them, they believed not on him: ³⁸ that the saying of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spake, "Lord, who hath believed our report? and to whom hath the arm of the Lord been revealed?" ³⁹ For this reason they could not believe, because Isaiah had said again; ⁴⁰ "He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their hearts; lest they should see with their eyes, and understand with the heart, and be converted, and I should heal them." ⁴¹ These things said Isaiah, when he saw his glory, and spake of him.

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

³⁴ But I receive not testimony from man: but I speak these things, that ye may believe.

¹⁵ Then Jesus, knowing their intention to come and to seize him by force, in order to make him king, retired again into the mountain by himself alone.

¹⁸ He that speaketh from himself, seeks his own individual honour: but he that seeketh the glory of him that sent him, he is true, and iniquity in him there is none.

⁶ not seeking glory from men, neither from you, nor from others, though we might have been burdensome, as apostles of Christ.

²¹ For hereunto have ye been called, because Christ also hath suffered for you, leaving you a pattern, that ye should follow his steps;

¹⁵ And he said unto them, Ye are they who affect to be righteous persons before men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men, is an abomination in the sight of God.

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.

²⁵ and because he had no need that any man should testify respecting man; for he knew what was in man.

⁵⁵ yet have ye not known him; but I know him: and if I should say, that I know him not, I should be like you, a liar: but I know him, and observe his word.

⁷ Because the propensity of the flesh is inimical against God: for it is not in subjection to the law of God, neither indeed can it be.

¹² For the word of God is quickening, and energetic, and sharper than every two-edged sword, and piercing through and through, so as to divide both soul and spirit, both joints and spinal marrow, and critically judges the thoughts and intents of the heart. ¹³ Even creation is not invisible before him, but all things are naked, and fully displayed before his eyes, to whom we must give our account.

¹⁵ Love not the world, neither the things which are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

¹⁷ But whosoever hath worldly abundance, and seeth his brother under necessity, and shutteth his bowels of compassion against him, how dwelleth the love of God in him?

⁵ For many will come in my name, saying, I am the Messiah; and shall deceive multitudes.

²⁴ for false Messiahs and false prophets shall arise, and give out great signs and wonders; so as to deceive, if it were possible, even the elect.

²⁸ Then said Jesus to them, When ye shall have lifted up on high the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am, and of myself have I done nothing; but as the Father hath instructed me, so I speak. 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.

²⁸ Father, glorify thy name! Then came a voice from heaven, I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again.

⁴ I have glorified thee upon earth: I have completed the work which thou gavest me to perform. ⁵ And now, Father, do thou glorify me with thyself in the glory which I held with thee before the world was. ⁶ I have made known thy name to the persons whom thou gavest me out of the world: for thee they had a being, and to me thou hast given them; and thy word have they kept.

³⁶ For before these days arose Theudas, saying that he himself was a singular personage: to whom a number of men, about four hundred, attached themselves: who was taken off; and as many as obeyed him, were dispersed, and came to nothing. ³⁷ And after him arose Judas the Galilean, in the days of the enrolment, and drew away a multitude of the populace after him: he also perished, and all, as many as obeyed him, were dispersed.

³⁸ Art not thou certainly that Egyptian who some time since raised a sedition, and led out into the desert four thousand cutthroats?

⁴ And no man assumes to himself this honour, but he who is called of God, even as Aaron was. ⁵ So Christ also did not himself assume the glory to become high-priest, but he [gave it] who spake to him, "Thou art my Son; I have this day begotten thee."

⁵ And all their works they do to be seen of men: they make their phylacteries broad, and deepen the fringes of their garments,

²¹ His master said to him, Well done, good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will place thee over many: enter into the joy of thy master. ²² Then came also he that had received the two talents: and said, Sir, thou deliveredst to me two talents: lo! I have gained to them two other talents. ²³ His master said to him, Well done, good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will place thee over many: enter thou into thy master's joy.

¹⁷ And he said unto him, Well done, good servant: because thou hast been faithful in the least matter, hold thou dominion over ten cities.

²⁰ For every one whose practices are foul hateth the light, and cometh not to the light, that his actions may not be brought to conviction.

⁴³ for they loved honour from men, more than honour from God.

³ and this is eternal life, that they should know thee the only true God, and him whom thou hast sent, Jesus, the Messiah.

⁷ to those who, in the patient practice of good works, seek glory and honour and immortality—eternal life.

¹⁰ But glory and honour and peace be to every man who doeth that which is good, to the Jew first and also to the Greek:

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.

⁷ Because the propensity of the flesh is inimical against God: for it is not in subjection to the law of God, neither indeed can it be. ⁸ They then who are in the flesh, cannot please God.

⁵ Wherefore judge nothing before the time until the Lord come, who also will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will manifest the counsels of men's hearts; and then shall praise be given to each from God.

¹⁸ For not he who commendeth himself is approved, but he whom the Lord commendeth.

¹⁹ Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are these: adultery, whoredom, impurity, lasciviousness, ²⁰ idolatry, magical charms, enmities, strifes, jealousies, animosities, quarrels, divisions, heresies, ²¹ envyings, murders, drunkenness, revels, and the like of these, concerning which I tell you now, as I have told you already, that they who live in such practices shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

³ Let nothing be done contentiously or vain-gloriously; but in humility reckoning others superior to yourselves.

¹² Take heed, brethren, that there be not in any one of you a wicked heart of infidelity, [evident] in departure from the living God:

¹ MY brethren, hold not the faith of our glorious Lord Jesus shewing a respect for persons.

⁷ that the test of your faith (much more precious than that of gold, which is of a perishing nature, though proved by fire) may be found unto praise and honour and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ:

⁷ They say unto him, Why then did Moses command to give her a bill of divorce, and to put her away? ⁸ He saith unto them, It was on account of the hardness of your hearts that Moses gave you permission to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not thus.

⁵ Now Moses in the law commanded, that such women should be stoned: therefore what sayest thou? ⁶ But this they said, trying to entrap him, that they might have ground of accusation against him. But Jesus stooping down, with his finger wrote on the ground.

⁹ But when they heard him, and felt the conviction of their conscience, they slunk away one by one, beginning from the elders to the last: so Jesus was left alone, with the woman standing in the midst.

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.

¹² For as many as have sinned without the law, shall perish also without the law: and as many as have sinned under the law shall be judged by the law;

¹⁷ Lo! thou art named a Jew, and restest on the law, and boastest in God, ¹⁸ and knowest the will of God, and bringest to the test the things that are different, being instructed out of the law; ¹⁹ and hast confidence that thou thyself art a leader of the blind, a light of those who are in darkness, ²⁰ an instructor of the uninformed, a teacher of babes, holding the form of knowledge and of truth in the law. ²¹ Thou therefore who teachest another, dost thou not teach thyself? thou that proclaimest aloud that a man should not steal, dost thou steal? ²² thou that sayest, Do not commit adultery, dost thou commit adultery? thou that holdest idols in abomination, dost thou commit sacrilege? ²³ thou who gloriest in the law, dishonourest thou God by the transgression of the law? ²⁴ for the name of God is blasphemed through you among the heathen, as it is written. 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.

¹⁹ Now we know that whatsoever things the law saith, it speaks to those who are under the law: that every mouth might be sealed up, and all the world become criminal before God. ²⁰ Wherefore by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified before God: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.

⁹ For though I lived without the law formerly; yet when the commandment came, sin revived, but I died. ¹⁰ And the commandment, which [was] for life, the same was found by me for death. ¹¹ For sin, seizing the occasion by the commandment, deceived me, and thereby slew me. ¹² So then the law indeed is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good. ¹³ Did then that which is good become fatal to me? God forbid. But sin, that it might appear sin by that which was good [in itself], was the cause of death to me; that sin through the commandment might become transcendantly sinful. ¹⁴ For we know that the law is spiritual; but I am fleshly, sold under sin.

⁵ For Moses describeth the righteousness which is by the law, "That the man who doeth these things shall live by them." ⁶ But the righteousness that is by faith speaketh thus, "Say not in thy heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down:) ⁷ or, Who shall descend into the abyss?" (that is, to bring Christ up again from the dead.) ⁸ But what saith it? "The word is nigh thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart:" that is, the word of faith which we preach; ⁹ That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thy heart that God raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. ¹⁰ For with the heart faith is exercised unto righteousness; and with the mouth is confession made unto salvation.

⁷ For if the ministry of death in letters graven on stone, was attended with glory, so that the children of Israel could not keep their eyes fixed upon the countenance of Moses, because of the glory of his countenance, though [soon] evanescent; ⁸ how much more will not the ministry of the Spirit be attended with glory? ⁹ For if the ministry of condemnation is glory, much more doth the ministry of righteousness excel in glory. ¹⁰ For that which was glorious hath no glory, comparatively, because of the glory which excelleth. ¹¹ For if that which was abolished came in a glorious manner, much more is that which remaineth glorious.

¹⁰ For as many as are of the works of the law, are under a curse: for it is written, "Cursed is every one who continueth not in all the things written in the book of the law to do them."

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:

⁴ For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.

¹⁹ For I through the law am dead to the law, that I should live unto God.

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 Wherefore the law was our conductor, as of children, to Christ, that we might be justified by faith.

²¹ Tell me, ye that desire to be under the law, do ye not hear the law? ²² For it is written that Abraham had two sons, the one by a bondwoman, and the other by a free. ²³ Now the son of the bond-maid was born after the flesh, but that by the free woman was by promise. ²⁴ Which things are allegorical; for these are the two covenants, the one from mount Sinai, gendering unto bondage, which is represented by Agar. ²⁵ For this Agar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and corresponds with Jerusalem that now is, and is in bondage with her children. ²⁶ But the Jerusalem above is free, which is the mother of us all. ²⁷ For it is written, "Rejoice, thou barren who bearest not, cry out and shout for joy, thou that travailest not, for more are the children of her that was desolate, than of her which had an husband." ²⁸ So we, brethren, as Isaac, are the children of the promise. ²⁹ But as then he that was born after the flesh persecuted him that was born after the Spirit, even so is it now. ³⁰ But what saith the scripture? "Cast out the bond-woman and her son for the son of the bond-maid shall in no wise inherit with the son of the free woman." ³¹ So then, brethren, we are not the children of the bondwoman, but of the free.

¹ FOR this Melchisedec, king of Salem, a priest of God most high, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings, and blessed him; 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. ⁴ Now observe how great is this [Melchisedec], to whom even Abraham the patriarch gave the tenth of the spoils. ⁵ For they indeed of the sons of Levi, who are admitted to priesthood, have an order to receive tithes from the people according to the law, that is, of their brethren, though also sprung from the loins of Abraham. ⁶ But he who derived not his genealogy from them, received tithes from Abraham, and blessed him who had the promises; ⁷ but without all dispute the inferior receives benediction from the superior. ⁸ And here indeed dying men receive the tithes, but there he hath a testimony borne to him that he liveth. ⁹ And, if I may so say, through Abraham even Levi, who receiveth tithes, paid tithes. ¹⁰ For he was as yet in the loins of his father when Melchisedec met him.
