So saying, he cried, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. ⁹ Then his disciples asked him, saying. What might this parable mean? ¹⁰ And he said, To you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God; but to the rest in parables: that seeing they may not perceive, and hearing may not comprehend. ¹¹ Now this is the parable: The seed is the word of God. 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. ¹³ And they on the rock, are such as when they have heard, with joy embrace the word; and these have not root, who for a time believe, and in a season of trial apostasize. ¹⁴ And that which fell among thorns, are they having heard, and going away, are choked by the cares, and wealth, and pleasures of life, and bring forth no perfect fruit. ¹⁵ But that on the good ground are they who having heard the word, retain it in a heart excellent and good, and bring forth fruit with patience. ¹⁶ No man lighting a lamp hides it with a cover, or putteth it under a bed, but on a stand, that they who are coming in, may see the light. ¹⁷ For there is nothing hid which shall not be made manifest, nor concealed, which shall not be known and brought to light. ¹⁸ Take heed therefore how ye hear: for whosoever hath, to him shall be given; and whosoever hath not, even what he seemeth to have shall be taken away from. ¹⁹ Then came to him his mother and his brethren, and could not come near him because of the crowd. ²⁰ And it was told him, saying, Thy mother and thy brethren are standing without, desirous of seeing thee. ²¹ Then he answered and said to them, My mother and my brethren are they, who hear the word of God, and practise it. ²² And it came to pass on one of the days, that he went himself into a ship, and his disciples, and said unto them, Let us pass over to the farther side of the lake. And they set fail. ²³ And while they were on the passage, he went to sleep: and a hurricane of wind rushed down on the lake; and they were filled with water, and imminent danger. ²⁴ Then they came and awoke him, saying, Master, Master, we are perishing. Then arising, he issued his command to the wind, and the billows of water, and they subsided, and there was a calm. ²⁵ And he said to them, Where is your faith?

And when all denied, Peter, and those who were with him, said, Master, the multitudes throng and press thee, and sayest thou, Who hath touched me? ⁴⁶ Then said Jesus, Some person hath touched me, for I know that miraculous power is gone out from me. ⁴⁷ Then the woman seeing she was not hid, came trembling, and falling down before him, declared to him before all the people, for what cause she had touched him; and how she was cured instantaneously. ⁴⁸ Then he said unto her, Be of good cheer, daughter, thy faith hath made thee well; go in peace. ⁴⁹ And while he was yet speaking, a person came to the ruler of the synagogue, saying to him, Thy daughter is dead, give the master no further trouble. ⁵⁰ Then Jesus hearing it, addressed him, saying, Fear not, only believe, and she shall be saved. ⁵¹ And entering into the house, he suffered no person to come in, but Peter, and James, and John, and the father and mother of the child. ⁵² Now all were weeping and lamenting her: and he said, Weep not, she is not dead, but asleep. ⁵³ And they derided him, for they knew that she was dead. 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. ⁵⁶ And her parents were struck with amazement.

³⁶ But there was at Joppa a woman, a disciple, named Tabitha, (which by interpretation is called Dorcas:) this woman was full of good works and of alms which she did. ³⁷ But it came to pass that in those days she sickened and died: having then washed her, they laid her out in an upper room. ³⁸ And as Lydda was near to Joppa, the disciples hearing that Peter was there, sent two men to him, entreating him without delay to come over to them. ³⁹ Then Peter arose and went with them.

² And vast multitudes were gathered together unto him, insomuch that he entered into a vessel to be seated; and all the multitude stood on the beach. ³ And he spake unto them many things in parables, saying, Behold, a sower went out to sow: ⁴ and as he was sowing, some seeds fell indeed by the road-side; and the birds came and ate them up: ⁵ and other seed fell on a rocky soil, where it had not much earth; and immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of earth: ⁶ and when the sun arose, it was scorched up; and because it had no root, it withered away. ⁷ And other seeds fell among the thorns; and the thorns sprang up and choked them: ⁸ but others fell on good ground, and produced fruit, some an hundred, some sixty, and some thirty. ⁹ He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

¹ AND again he began to teach by the sea side: and a vast multitude was assembled about him, so that he went into a vessel to sit down on the sea, and all the multitude was on the land close by the sea. ² And he taught them in parables many things, and said unto them in the course of his teaching, ³ Hear me! Behold, a sower went out to sow; ⁴ and it came to pass as he sowed, some fell by the road side, and the birds of the air came and ate it up. ⁵ And some fell on a rocky soil, where it had not much mold, and immediately it sprung up, because it had no depth of earth: ⁶ and when the sun arose it was scorched up; and because it had not root, it withered away. ⁷ And some fell among thorns, and the thorns sprang up with it and choked it, and it produced no fruit. ⁸ And some fell on good ground, and produced fruit, growing up, and increasing, and yielded one part thirty fold, and another sixty, and another an hundred. ⁹ And he said unto them, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

¹³ Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt become insipid, with what can it be salted? it is of no farther use for any purpose, but to be cast out, and trodden under foot of men.

³ And he spake unto them many things in parables, saying, Behold, a sower went out to sow: ⁴ and as he was sowing, some seeds fell indeed by the road-side; and the birds came and ate them up:

¹⁸ Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower. ¹⁹ When any person heareth the word of the kingdom, and doth not understand it, the wicked one cometh, and snatcheth away what was sown on his heart: such is he who is the sown by the road-side.

²⁴ Another parable proposed he to them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like unto a man who sowed good seed in his field: ²⁵ and while the men were asleep, his enemy came and sowed zizane among the wheat, and departed. ²⁶ But when the blade was shot up, and produced fruit, then appeared also the zizane.

³⁷ And he replying said to them, He that sowed the good seed, is the Son of man;

² And he taught them in parables many things, and said unto them in the course of his teaching, ³ Hear me! Behold, a sower went out to sow; ⁴ and it came to pass as he sowed, some fell by the road side, and the birds of the air came and ate it up.

¹⁵ Now these are they by the road side; where the word is sown; and when they have heard, immediately Satan cometh, and taketh away the word sown on their hearts:

²⁶ And he said, The kingdom of heaven is of that kind, as if a man should cast seed into his field; ²⁷ and sleep and rise, night and day, and the sown corn should sprout, and grow into length, he knoweth not how: ²⁸ for the earth, naturally prolific, beareth fruit; first the blade, then the ear, then the full corn in the ear. ²⁹ But when the grain is ready, immediately he putteth in the sickle, because harvest is come.

¹¹ Now this is the parable: The seed is the word of God. 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.

¹ FOR this reason we ought to attend more diligently to the things which have been heard, lest by any means we let them flow by us.

²³ For if any man be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like a man that looks at his natural face in a glass; ²⁴ for he beheld himself, and went away, and immediately forgot what sort of person he was.

⁵ and other seed fell on a rocky soil, where it had not much earth; and immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of earth: ⁶ and when the sun arose, it was scorched up; and because it had no root, it withered away.

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.

⁵ And some fell on a rocky soil, where it had not much mold, and immediately it sprung up, because it had no depth of earth: ⁶ and when the sun arose it was scorched up; and because it had not root, it withered away.

¹⁶ and these in like manner are they who were sown on the rocky soil; who when they have heard the word, instantly with joy receive it; ¹⁷ and have no root in themselves, but are temporary [professors]: afterwards, when tribulation cometh or persecution for the word's sake, immediately they are offended.

¹³ And they on the rock, are such as when they have heard, with joy embrace the word; and these have not root, who for a time believe, and in a season of trial apostasize.

⁴ Or despisest thou the riches of his kindness and patience and long-suffering, ignorant that this goodness of God is leading thee to repentance? 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,

⁷ Wherefore, as the Holy Ghost saith, To day if ye will hear his voice, ⁸ harden not your hearts, as in that bitter provocation, at the day of the temptation in the wilderness;

¹⁵ while it is said, To-day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts as in the provocation.

⁷ And other seeds fell among the thorns; and the thorns sprang up and choked them:

²² But the sown among the thorns, is he who heareth the word, and the anxiety about this world and the deceitfulness of riches, choketh the word, and it becometh unfruitful.

⁷ And some fell among thorns, and the thorns sprang up with it and choked it, and it produced no fruit.

¹⁸ And those are the sown among the thorns; such as are hearers of the word; ¹⁹ but the anxious cares of this world, and the seducing nature of wealth, and inordinate desires after other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful.

¹⁴ And that which fell among thorns, are they having heard, and going away, are choked by the cares, and wealth, and pleasures of life, and bring forth no perfect fruit.

³⁴ But take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts should be overloaded with surfeiting and drunkenness, and the anxious cares of life, and that day should come upon you unawares.

⁷ For the earth which imbibes the rain which often falls upon it, and bringeth forth herbage suitable for those by whom it is cultured, receiveth a blessing from God; ⁸ but if it produceth thorns and thistles, it is abandoned, and near the curse [of barrenness], whose end will be for burning.

¹⁵ He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

²³ But the sown upon the good ground, is he who heareth the word, and understandeth it; who truly beareth fruit, and produceth, one an hundred fold, and another sixty, and another thirty.

⁸ And some fell on good ground, and produced fruit, growing up, and increasing, and yielded one part thirty fold, and another sixty, and another an hundred.

²⁰ And these are they who are sown on the good ground, such as hear the word, and receive it, and bring forth fruit, some thirty fold, and some sixty, and some an hundred.

¹⁵ But that on the good ground are they who having heard the word, retain it in a heart excellent and good, and bring forth fruit with patience.

¹² But as many as did receive him, on them he bestowed authority to become children of God, even on those who believe on his name: ¹³ who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

³ Jesus answered and said to him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. ⁴ Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter a second time into his mother's womb, and be born? ⁵ Jesus replied, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

¹⁰ for we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, for which God hath before prepared us, that we should walk therein.

¹⁰ that ye may walk worthy of the Lord, well pleasing him in all things, in every good work fruitful, and increasing in the knowledge of God;

⁷ He that hath ears, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches, To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God.

¹¹ He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches. He that overcometh shall receive no injury from the second death.

¹⁰ And when his disciples came, they said to him, Why speakest thou to them in parables?

¹⁸ Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower.

³⁶ Then Jesus dismissing the multitudes, went into a house; and his disciples came unto him, saying, Explain to us the parable of the zizane of the field.

¹⁵ Then Peter answering said unto him, Explain to us this parable.

¹⁰ But when they were alone, those who were about him with the twelve, asked him the meaning of the parable.

³⁴ And without a parable spake he not unto them; but in private he explained them all to his disciples.

¹⁷ And when he was come into the house from the multitude, his disciples asked him concerning the parable. ¹⁸ And he saith to them, Are ye also so defective of intelligence? Do you not consider, that every thing from without that entereth into a man, cannot make him unclean?

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.

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:

¹¹ And he answered and said unto them, Because to you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given. ¹² For whosoever hath, more shall be given to him, and he shall have abundance: but whosoever hath not, even that he hath shall be taken from him. ¹³ Therefore I speak to them in parables: that seeing, they may not see; and hearing, they may not hear nor understand. ¹⁴ And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah, which saith, With the hearing ye shall hear, and not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and in no wise perceive: ¹⁵ for the heart of this people is waxed gross, and with their ears they have heard heavily, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with the eves, and hear with the ears, and understand with the heart, and be converted, and I should heal them. ¹⁶ But blessed are your eyes; for ye see: and your ears; for ye hear. ¹⁷ For verily I tell you, That many prophets and righteous men have greatly desired to see the things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear the things which ye hear, and have not heard them.

¹⁷ And Jesus replying, said to him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona; for flesh and blood hath not revealed this to thee, but my Father, who is in heaven.

¹¹ And he said to them, To you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God; but to those who are without, all things are in parables:

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. 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. ²³ Then turning to the disciples, he said privately, Blessed are the eyes which see the things which ye see: ²⁴ for I tell you, that many prophets and kings have desired to see the things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear the things which ye hear, and have not heard them.

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."

²⁶ saying, Go to this people, and say, "In hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, yet in nowise perceive. ²⁷ For the heart of this people is waxed gross, and with their ears they are thick of hearing, and their eyes have they shut; lest at any time they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their hearts, and become converts, and I should heal them."

⁷ What then is the result? Israel hath not obtained that which it seeketh; but the election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded, ⁸ as it is written, "God hath given them the spirit of slumber, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear; unto this present day." ⁹ And David saith, "Let their table be for a snare, and for a trap, and for a stumbling-block, and for a recompence unto them: ¹⁰ let their eyes be blinded, that they may not see, and bow down their back continually."

²⁵ Now to him that is able to stablish you according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, agreeable to the revelation of the mystery; which was concealed from all former ages,

⁷ but we speak the wisdom of God, which had been hid in mystery, which God predestined before the worlds were, for our glory: ⁸ which none of the rulers of this world have known: for if they had known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. ⁹ But, as it is written, "The things which eye hath not seen, and ear hath not heard, and that have not entered into the heart of man, these hath God prepared for those who love him." ¹⁰ But to us hath God revealed them by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth out all things, even the depths of God. ¹¹ For who among men knoweth the things of man, save the spirit of man which is in him? so also the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.

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

³ that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery, as I wrote unto you before briefly; ⁴ wherein when ye read, ye may be able to perceive my knowledge in the mystery of Christ, ⁵ which in other generations was not made known to the children of men, as it hath been now revealed to his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit; ⁶ that the Gentiles should be co-heirs, and of the same body, and sharers with them of his promise in Christ by the Gospel: ⁷ of which I am made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of God, which was given unto me by the effectual working of his power. ⁸ To me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ; ⁹ and to make all men see what the communication of that mystery means, which was hid from the beginning in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ:

²⁶ the mystery which was hid from ages and from generations, but is now unveiled to his saints; ²⁷ to whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory: ²⁸ whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus;

² that their hearts may be comforted, firmly united together in love, and unto all riches of full assurance of understanding, in the knowledge of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ;

¹⁶ And confessedly great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifested in the flesh, justified by the Spirit, seen of angels, preached among the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.

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. ¹² To whom it was revealed, that not for themselves, but for us were their ministrations employed in the things which are now declared unto you by those who have preached the gospel unto you by the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven; on which things the angels bending forwards eagerly desire to gaze.

¹⁴ The sower soweth the word. ¹⁵ Now these are they by the road side; where the word is sown; and when they have heard, immediately Satan cometh, and taketh away the word sown on their hearts: ¹⁶ and these in like manner are they who were sown on the rocky soil; who when they have heard the word, instantly with joy receive it; ¹⁷ and have no root in themselves, but are temporary [professors]: afterwards, when tribulation cometh or persecution for the word's sake, immediately they are offended. ¹⁸ And those are the sown among the thorns; such as are hearers of the word; ¹⁹ but the anxious cares of this world, and the seducing nature of wealth, and inordinate desires after other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful. ²⁰ And these are they who are sown on the good ground, such as hear the word, and receive it, and bring forth fruit, some thirty fold, and some sixty, and some an hundred.

⁶ I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase. ⁷ So then neither is he that planteth any thing, nor he that watereth; but God who giveth the increase.

⁹ For we are God's fellowlabourers: ye are God's husbandry, ye are God's building. ¹⁰ According to the grace of God given unto me, as a skilful architect, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every one take heed how he buildeth upon it. ¹¹ For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus the Messiah. ¹² But if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, timbers, hay, stubble;

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.

²³ born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the quickening word of God, and which abideth for ever. ²⁴ "For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man, as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower of it falleth off:" ²⁵ but the word of the Lord abideth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you.

⁵ A sower went out to sow his seed; and as he sowed, some fell by the road side, and was trodden under foot, and the birds of the air devoured it up.

⁹ whose appearing is known by fanatical energy, displayed in all power, and signs, and lying miracles, ¹⁰ and in every unrighteous delusion among those who perish: in consequence of which things they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. ¹¹ And for this cause God shall send unto them the energy of delusion, that they should believe a lie: ¹² that they all might be damned who have not believed the truth, but have taken pleasure in unrighteousness. 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.

⁹ And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, who is called the Devil, and Satan, who deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

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.

³¹ And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, lo! Satan hath earnestly sought you, that he might sift you as wheat: ³² but I have prayed for thee, that thy faith may not fail: and when thou art returned, stablish thy brethren.

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. ²⁴ But Jesus himself did not trust himself to them, because he knew them all, ²⁵ and because he had no need that any man should testify respecting man; for he knew what was in man.

³⁵ He was a lamp glowing and luminous: and ye were pleased for a time to exult in his light.

³⁰ As he spake these words, many believed on him. ³¹ Then said Jesus to those Jews who believed on him, If ye abide in my word, assuredly ye are my disciples; ³² and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

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

² Every branch in me that beareth no fruit, he taketh it away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he pruneth it clean, that it may bring forth more fruit.

⁶ If any man abide not in me, he is cast out as a branch, and withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.

¹³ Then Simon also himself believed: and being baptised, he attached himself to Philip, and beholding the signs and great miracles which were performed, he was astonished. ¹⁴ But when the apostles who were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent unto them Peter and John: ¹⁵ who, when they were come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Ghost: ¹⁶ for as yet he had not fallen on any one of them: only they had been baptised into the name of the Lord Jesus. ¹⁷ Then they laid their hands upon them, and they received the Holy Ghost. ¹⁸ Now when Simon saw, that by the imposition of the apostles' hands, the Holy Ghost was given, he offered them money, ¹⁹ saying, Confer on me also this power, that on whomsoever I lay my hands, they may receive the Holy Ghost. ²⁰ But Peter said unto him, May thy silver with thyself go into perdition, because thou hast imagined that the gift of God can be purchased with money. ²¹ There is for thee neither part nor lot in this word: for thy heart is not right before God. ²² Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray to God, if haply this thought of thy heart may be forgiven thee. ²³ For I see that thou art in the gall of bitterness, and the bond of iniquity.

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.

² by which also ye are saved; if ye cleave to that word I have preached to you, except haply ye have believed in vain.

¹ O INFATUATED Galatians, who hath bewitched you that ye should not obey the truth? To whom Jesus Christ has been described, as before your eyes, crucified among you.

⁴ have ye suffered so many things in vain? if it be yet in vain.

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? ¹⁷ They affect zeal for you, not honourably; but they wish to exclude us, that you may be zealously attached to them. ¹⁸ It is good indeed to be zealously affected in a good cause always, and not only when I am present with you. ¹⁹ My little children of whom I travail in birth again, until Christ be formed in you, ²⁰ I wish I could be with you now, and change my address; for I am in doubt about you.

¹⁷ that Christ may dwell by faith in your hearts; that rooted and grounded in love,

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.

⁷ rooted and built up on him, and confirmed in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.

⁵ For this cause also, when I could no longer forbear, I sent to know your fidelity, lest by any means the tempter had tempted you, and our labour should be in vain.

¹⁹ holding faith and a good conscience, which some having renounced, as touching the faith, have been shipwrecked:

¹⁸ who with respect to the truth have erred, saying that the resurrection hath been already; and pervert the faith of some. ¹⁹ Nevertheless the stable foundation of God standeth firm, having this seal, the Lord knoweth those who belong to him. And, let every man who mentions the name of the Lord depart from unrighteousness.

³⁹ But we are not of those who turn back unto perdition; but of those who believe to the salvation of the soul.

²⁶ For as the body without breath is dead, so faith without works is dead also.

²⁰ For if having escaped from the defilements of the world by the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again enveloped by them and overcome, their last deeds are worse than the first.

²² But the true proverb is verified in them, The dog hath returned to his own vomit; and the sow which was washed to its wallowing in the mire.

¹⁹ They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us; but they departed, that they might be made manifest that they are not all of us:

¹² These are in your feasts of love, as sunken rocks; though joining in your banquet, they feed themselves fearlessly; clouds without water carried about by the winds; trees untimely withering, fruitless, twice dead, rooted up;

²⁴ No man can serve two masters: for he will either hate the one, and love the other; or he will adhere to the one, and disregard the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. ²⁵ For this cause I tell you, Be not anxious about your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life of more value than meat, and the body than raiment?

¹⁹ but the anxious cares of this world, and the seducing nature of wealth, and inordinate desires after other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful.

⁷ And other seed fell amidst thorns, and the thorns springing up with it, choked it.

⁶ Then he spake this parable: A certain man had a fig-tree planted in his vineyard; and he came, expecting fruit on it, and found none. ⁷ Then said he to the vine-dresser, Lo! for three years have I come, expecting fruit on this fig-tree, and find none: cut it down; why doth it render the ground thus useless? ⁸ He answering said to him, Sir, let it e'en remain this year, until that I dig around it, and spread some manure: ⁹ perhaps it may then produce fruit: but if it does not, afterwards thou shalt cut it down.

¹³ No domestic can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or he will cleave to the one, and neglect the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.

²⁶ And as it was in the days of Noah, so shall it also be in the days of the coming of the Son of man. ²⁷ They did eat, they drank, they married, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, and the deluge came, and destroyed them all. ²⁸ Even so, likewise, it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; ²⁹ but the day Lot went out of Sodom, it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all. ³⁰ Just so will it be in the day when the Son of man shall be revealed.

²⁴ Then Jesus, observing that he was very sorrowful, said, How difficultly shall they who have riches, enter into the kingdom of God! ²⁵ It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.

⁹ For they who will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful passions, which sink men in the abyss of destruction and perdition. ¹⁰ For the love of money is the root of all evils, which some coveting, have wandered away from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

¹⁷ Charge the rich in this world not to be lifted up with pride, nor to trust on the stability of wealth, but on the living God, who giveth us richly all things for our enjoyment;

¹⁰ for Demas hath forsaken me, having loved this present world, and is gone unto Thessalonica; Crescens to Galatia; Titus to Dalmatia.

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. ¹⁶ For every thing which is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pomp of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. ¹⁷ And the world is passing away, and the lust thereof, but he who doeth the will of God abideth for ever.

¹³ But he that endureth to the end, that man will be saved.

⁴⁵ A good man, out of the good treasure of his heart, produceth what is good; and a wicked man, from the evil treasure in his heart, produceth that which is evil: for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.

²⁸ But he said, Yea rather, blessed are they who hear the word of God and observe it.

¹⁵ If ye love me, keep my commandments.

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. ²⁴ He that loveth me not, doth not observe my sayings: and the word which ye are hearing is not mine, but of him that sent me.

¹⁰ If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and as I abide in his love.

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

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.

⁴ Wherefore, my brethren, ye also have become dead to the law through the body of Christ; that ye might be for another, who was raised from the dead, that we might bring forth fruit for God.

¹⁸ For I know that there dwelleth not in me (that is, in my flesh) any good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not. ¹⁹ Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but the observance of the commandments of God.

²² But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, fidelity, ²³ meekness, temperance; against such there is no law. ²⁴ But they who are Christ's have crucified the flesh with its passions and irregular appetites. ²⁵ If we live by the Spirit, let us also walk by the Spirit. ²⁶ Let us not be vain-glorious, irritating one another, envying one another.

⁸ For by grace ye are saved through faith, and this not of yourselves; it is the gift of God:

¹¹ filled with fruits of righteousness, which by Jesus Christ are to the glory and praise of God.

¹³ Brethren, I count not myself to have overtaken it; but this one object I pursue, forgetting the things which are behind, and reaching out to those which are before, ¹⁴ I press towards the mark for the prize of the divine calling from on high in Christ Jesus. ¹⁵ Let as many of us therefore as are perfect, be thus minded: and if ye entertain any other sentiment, God also will unveil this unto you.

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

¹¹ But we earnestly desire that every one of you do manifest the same diligence, in order to obtain the full assurance of hope unto the end: ¹² that ye be not slothful, but imitators of those who, by faith and long suffering, are inheriting the promises.

³⁶ For ye have need of patience, that after ye have done the will of God, ye may receive the promise.

⁴ But let patience have its work perfected, that ye may be perfect and complete, deficient in nothing.

¹⁶ Be not deceived, my beloved brethren. ¹⁷ Every good gift, and every perfect gift, is from above, descending from the father of illuminations, with whom there is no variableness, nor shadow of change. ¹⁸ Of his own choice he produced us by the word of truth, that we might be a sort of first fruit of his creatures.— ¹⁹ Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath.

²² But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves by false reasoning. ²³ For if any man be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like a man that looks at his natural face in a glass; ²⁴ for he beheld himself, and went away, and immediately forgot what sort of person he was. ²⁵ But he that looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and perseveres, this man not being a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, he shall be blessed in his practice.

⁷ Be patient therefore, brethren, until the coming of the Lord. See, the husbandman waits for the precious fruit of the earth, in patient expectation for it, till it receives the former and the latter rain. ⁸ Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts; for the coming of the Lord is at hand.

¹ WHEREFORE putting far away wickedness of every kind, and all deceit, and hypocrisies, and envyings, and all backbitings, ² as new-born babes desire earnestly the unadulterated milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby: ³ And hereby we know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.

¹⁵ Neither do men burn a lamp, and set it under a bushel, but on its stand; and it sheds light on all that are in the house. ¹⁶ Just so let your light shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in the heavens.

²¹ And he said unto them, Is a lamp brought out to be put under a bushel, or under a bed, and not to be placed on a stand? ²² For there is nothing hid, but that it should be brought to light, nor is any thing concealed, but that it should come into open day.

³³ But no man lighting a lamp putteth it in a concealed place, or under a bushel, but on a stand, that they who are coming in, may see the light.

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

¹⁵ that ye may be blameless and harmless, the children of God, inoffensive, in the midst of an untoward and perverse generation, among whom ye shine as luminaries in the world; ¹⁶ holding up the word of life, that I may glory in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, nor laboured in vain.

²⁰ the mystery of the seven stars which thou seest in my right hand, and the seven golden lamps. The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches, and the seven lamps which thou seest are the seven churches.

⁴ These are the two olive trees, and the two lamps which stand before the face of the God of the earth.

²⁶ However, fear them not: for there is nothing concealed, which shall not be discovered; nor hid, which shall not be known.

²² For there is nothing hid, but that it should be brought to light, nor is any thing concealed, but that it should come into open day.

² For there is nothing concealed, that shall not be laid open; nor hid, which shall not be known. ³ Wherefore whatsoever things ye have spoken in darkness, they shall be reported in the light; and what ye have whispered into the ear in the closets, shall be proclaimed on the house-tops.

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.

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.

¹² For whosoever hath, more shall be given to him, and he shall have abundance: but whosoever hath not, even that he hath shall be taken from him.

²⁹ For to every one that hath shall be given, and he shall abound: but from him that hath not, even that he hath shall be taken away from him.

²³ If any man hath ears to hear, let him hear. ²⁴ And he said unto them, Take heed what ye hear: with the measure ye mete, shall it be measured back to you; and something over shall be given to you that hear. ²⁵ For to him that hath, there shall more be given to him; but he that hath not, even that which he hath shall be taken away from him.

¹⁴ But when ye see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by the prophet Daniel, standing where it ought not (let him that readeth observe), then let those who are in Judea fly to the mountains:

⁴⁴ Keep ye these sayings in your ears; for the Son of man shall be betrayed into the hands of men.

²⁰ But God said to him, Thou fool! this night shall they demand thy life from thee; and the things which thou hast prepared, whose shall they be? ²¹ Just such is every one who heapeth up treasure for self, and is not rich towards God.

² And calling him, he said to him, What is this report I hear of thee? give up the account of thy stewardship; for thou mayest be no longer in that office. ³ Then the steward said within himself, What shall I do? because my master is taking away the stewardship from me: to dig, I have not the strength; to beg, I am ashamed. ⁴ I know what I will do, that, when I am removed from the stewardship, they may entertain me at their houses.

¹⁹ Now there was a certain rich man, and he was clothed in purple and fine linen, making splendid entertainments every day: ²⁰ and there was a certain pauper, named Lazarus, who was laid at his gate covered with ulcers, ²¹ and importunately desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table: yea even the dogs came and licked his ulcers. ²² Now it came to pass that the poor man died, and was carried up by angels into the bosom of Abraham. Then the rich man also died, and was buried: ²³ and in hell, lifting up his eyes, being in torments, he seeth Abraham at a vast distance, and Lazarus in his bosom. ²⁴ And crying out, he said, Father Abraham, have compassion on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented with this flame. ²⁵ But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou hast received thy good things during thy life, and Lazarus, in like manner, what was afflictive: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented.

²⁶ For I say unto you, That to every one who hath, shall more be given; but from him that hath not, even that which he hath shall be taken away from him.

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

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.

³ For, I say, by the grace which is given unto me, to every one that is among you, not to think of himself above what he ought to think; but to think soberly, as God has divided to every one the measure of faith.

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.

² But if any man conceit that he knoweth any thing, he knoweth nothing yet as he ought to know.

¹ THOUGH I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am become as sounding brass, and tinkling cymbal. 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. ³ And if I deal out all my goods in alms, and deliver up my body that I should be burned, but have not love, I am nothing advantaged by it.

³⁷ If any man thinketh that he is a prophet, or spiritually gifted, let him acknowledge that the things which I write unto you are the commandments of the Lord.

⁴ Though I too might have confidence in the flesh; if any other man thinks that he may have confidence in the flesh, I may claim more:

¹⁹ Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath. ²⁰ For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God. 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. ²³ For if any man be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like a man that looks at his natural face in a glass; ²⁴ for he beheld himself, and went away, and immediately forgot what sort of person he was. ²⁵ But he that looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and perseveres, this man not being a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, he shall be blessed in his practice. ²⁶ If any man thinks he is a religious character among you, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion is vain.

⁴⁶ And while he was yet speaking to the multitudes, behold, his mother and his brethren stood without, desiring to speak to him. ⁴⁷ And a person said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to speak to thee. ⁴⁸ But he answered and said to him that told him, Who is my mother? and who are my brethren? ⁴⁹ And stretching out his hand towards his disciples, he said, Behold my mother and my brethren. ⁵⁰ For whosoever shall do the will of my Father who is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.

²¹ And when his relations heard it, they went out to restrain him, for they said, He is transported beyond all bounds.

³¹ Then came his brethren and his mother, and standing without sent unto him, calling aloud for him. ³² And the multitude sat around him, and they said to him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren without are asking for thee. ³³ And he answered them, saying, Who is my mother or my brethren? ³⁴ And looking about on those who were sitting in a circle round him, he saith, Behold my mother and my brethren! ³⁵ For whosoever shall do the will of God, that person is my brother, and my sister, and mother.

⁵⁵ Is not this the carpenter's son? is not his mother called Mary? his brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas? ⁵⁶ and his sisters, are they not all among us? whence then hath he all these things?

³ Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James and Joses, and Judah and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us? And they were offended at him.

³ Then said his disciples to him, Depart hence, and go into Judea, that thy disciples also may see thy works which thou doest. 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. ⁵ For even his own brethren did not believe on him. ⁶ Jesus therefore saith to them, My proper time is not yet come: but your time is always ready.

⁵ Have we not power to carry about with us a sister wife, as do also the other apostles, even the brethren of the Lord, and Cephas?

¹⁹ But I saw no other of the apostles except James, the Lord's brother.

²¹ Not every one who saith to me, Lord, Lord! shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father who is in heaven. 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. ²⁴ Every man therefore who is hearing from me these words, and puts them in practice, I will compare him to the intelligent man, who erected his house upon a rock: ²⁵ and the rain descended, and the rivers rushed, and the winds blew, and they beat against that house, and it fell not; for it was founded on a rock. ²⁶ And every man who is hearing these sayings of mine, and doth not practise them, he will resemble the foolish man, who built his house upon the sand:

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!

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.

¹⁰ Then saith Jesus to them, Be not affrighted: go, tell my disciples that they go into Galilee, there shall they see me.

²⁷ And it came to pass as he was speaking these words, a certain woman from among the multitude lift up her voice, and said unto him, Blessed is the womb that bare thee, and the breasts which thou hast sucked. ²⁸ But he said, Yea rather, blessed are they who hear the word of God and observe it.

²⁸ Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we may work the works of God? ²⁹ Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye should believe on him whom he hath sent.

¹⁷ If ye know these things, blessed are ye if ye practise them.

¹⁴ Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever things I command you. 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.

¹⁷ Jesus saith to her, Touch me not; for I have not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and tell them, I am ascending to my Father, and your Father; to my God, and your God.

¹⁶ Wherefore from the present moment know we no man after the flesh: yea though we have also known Christ after the flesh, yet so henceforth know we him no more.

¹⁸ and I will be as a father unto you, and ye shall be to me for sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty."

¹¹ For both he that sanctifies, and they who are sanctified, are all of one. For which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren, ¹² saying, "I will declare thy name to my brethren, in the midst of the church I will sing hymns to thee." ¹³ And again, "I will place my confidence in him." And again, "Behold! Here am I, and the children which God hath given me."

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

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

²² And whatsoever we ask, we receive from him, because we keep his commandments, and do the things which are pleasing in his sight. ²³ And this is his commandment, that we should believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment.

¹¹ Beloved, be not an imitator of what is evil, but of that which is good. He that doeth good is of God, but he that doeth evil hath not seen God.

¹⁸ Now when Jesus saw great multitudes about him, he gave orders to pass to the other side.

²³ And going on board a vessel, his disciples followed him. ²⁴ And, behold, there was a great tempest in the sea, so that the vessel was hid by the waves; but he was asleep. ²⁵ And his disciples coming, awoke him, saying, Lord, save us: we are perishing! ²⁶ And he said unto them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then arising, he issued his mandate to the winds, and to the sea; and there was a great calm. ²⁷ And the men marvelled, saying, What a wondrous man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him!

²² And immediately Jesus compelled his disciples to go on board the vessel, and pass before him to the other side, while he dismissed the people.

³⁵ And the same day he saith unto them, as the evening shut in, Let us pass over to the other side. ³⁶ And sending the multitude away, they took him just as he was in the vessel; and there were also some other little vessels with him. ³⁷ And a great hurricane arose, and the waves broke into the vessel, so that it was now full of water: ³⁸ and he was in the stern, sleeping on a pillow: and they awoke him, and say unto him, Master, is it no concern to thee that we are perishing? ³⁹ And rising, he with authority charged the wind, and said to the sea, Silence! be still! And the wind subsided, and there was a great calm. ⁴⁰ And he said to them, Why are ye so timorous? How is it that ye have not confidence? 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?

²¹ And when Jesus had passed over again in the vessel to the other side, a vast multitude came together unto him; and he was by the sea side.

⁴⁵ And immediately he compelled his disciples to go on board the vessel, and to go before him to the other side, to Bethsaida, while he sent the multitude away.

¹³ And leaving them, going again on board the vessel, he departed to the other side.

¹ AND it came to pass, as the multitude were thronging upon him, in order to hear the word of God, that he was standing by the lake of Gennesaret:

²³ And while they were on the passage, he went to sleep: and a hurricane of wind rushed down on the lake; and they were filled with water, and imminent danger.

¹ AFTER these things Jesus went beyond the sea of Galilee, that is of Tiberias.

²² And it came to pass on one of the days, that he went himself into a ship, and his disciples, and said unto them, Let us pass over to the farther side of the lake. And they set fail.

¹⁴ But not long after a hurricane wind, called Euroclydon, drove us towards the island, ¹⁵ and the ship becoming ungovernable, and unable to bear up in the eye of the wind, we gave up the attempt, and let her drive. ¹⁶ And running under a little island called Clauda, it was with difficulty we were able to come at the boat: ¹⁷ which when they had hoisted out, they used all helps, carrying ropes round the ship's bottom; and fearing lest they should run on the quick-sands, they lowered the mast, and so were driven. ¹⁸ And being exceedingly tossed with the storm, we the next day threw out the cargo. ¹⁹ And the third day with our own hands we threw overboard the tackling of the vessel. ²⁰ So when neither sun nor stars had appeared for many days, and no small tempest beating on us, all hope of our being preserved was entirely taken from us.

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.

³⁰ But seeing the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink in the deep, he cried out, saying, Lord save me.

³⁹ And standing over her, he charged the fever [to depart]; and it left her: and immediately she arose, and waited upon them.

⁵ And Simon answering, said unto him, Sir, we have been toiling all night, and have taken nothing: but at thy command I will shoot the net.

² So Jesus also, and his disciples, were invited to the marriage. ³ And the wine being exhausted, the mother of Jesus saith to him, They have no more wine. ⁴ Jesus saith unto her, What is that to me and thee, woman? my hour is not yet come. ⁵ His mother saith to the waiters, Whatsoever he orders you, do it. ⁶ Now there stood there six large stone jars, for the customary purifying ablution of the Jews, containing two or three baths each.

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. ¹⁰ Who from so imminent a prospect of death hath delivered us, and still delivers: in whom we trust also that he will yet deliver us:

³⁰ If God then so clothe a vegetable of the field, which to-day is, [in beauty], and tomorrow is cast into the furnace, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?

²⁶ And he said unto them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then arising, he issued his mandate to the winds, and to the sea; and there was a great calm.

³¹ Then immediately Jesus stretching out his hand, laid hold on him, and said to him, O thou of little faith, wherefore dost thou doubt?

²⁰ Then said Jesus unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard, ye shall say to this mountain, Remove from hence, thither, and it will remove; and nothing will be impossible for you.

²⁸ If God then so clothe the grass in the field, which to-day is, and to-morrow is thrown into the furnace; how much more you, O ye of little faith?

⁴⁰ Jesus saith unto her, Did I not tell thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou shalt see the glory of God?

²⁸ And when he came to the other side, into the region of the Girgasenes, there met him two demoniacs, coming from the sepulchres; exceeding fierce, so that no person was able to pass by that road. ²⁹ And lo! they cried out, saying, What have we to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God? art thou come hither before the time to torment us? ³⁰ And at a considerable distance, there was a great herd of swine feeding. ³¹ Then the devils besought him, saying, If thou cast us out, permit us to go into the herd of swine. ³² And he said to them, Go. Then they going forth out [of him], entered into the herd of swine: and lo! the whole herd of the swine rushed down a precipice into the sea, and perished in the waters. ³³ But they who fed them fled, and going away into the city, reported all things, and what had happened to the demoniacs. ³⁴ And, behold, all the city came out to meet him: and when they saw him, they besought him to depart from their territories.

¹ AND they came to the other side of the sea, into the country of the Gadarenes. ² And as he was going out of the vessel, immediately there met him a man with an unclean spirit, ³ coming out of the tombs; who had his abode among the tombs; and no man could secure him, not even with chains; ⁴ for he had been often bound with fetters and chains, and the chains were burst asunder by him, and the fetters broken in pieces, and no man was able to master him: ⁵ and continually night and day he was in the mountains, and in the tombs, screaming, and cutting himself with stones. ⁶ But when he saw Jesus afar off, he ran and worshipped him, ⁷ and crying with a loud voice, said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus thou Son of God most high? I adjure thee by God, that thou dost not send me to torment. ⁸ (For he had said unto him, Come out, unclean spirit, from the man.) ⁹ And he interrogated him, What is thy name? and he replied, saying, Legion is my name; for we are many. ¹⁰ And he entreated him much that he would not send them out of the country. ¹¹ And a great herd of swine was there feeding on the mountain: ¹² and all the devils besought him, saying, Send us into the swine, that we may enter into them. ¹³ And immediately Jesus permitted them. And the unclean spirits going forth, entered into the swine; and the herd rushed violently down a precipice into the sea (they were about two thousand), and were suffocated in the sea. ¹⁴ Then the swineherds fled, and carried the tidings into the city and into the country. And they went out to see what was done. ¹⁵ And they came to Jesus, and saw the demoniac that had the legion, seated and clothed, and in his sound mind: and they were afraid. ¹⁶ And they who saw the transaction, told them how it had been with the demoniac, and concerning the swine. ¹⁷ And they began to entreat him to depart out of their coasts. ¹⁸ And when he embarked on board the vessel, the demoniac besought him, that he might go with him. ¹⁹ But Jesus did not permit him, but said to him, Go to thine house, and to thy friends, and tell them how great things the Lord hath done for thee, and hath had compassion on thee. ²⁰ And he went out, and began to publish in Decapolis, what great things Jesus had done for him: and all men marvelled.

² And as he was going out of the vessel, immediately there met him a man with an unclean spirit, ³ coming out of the tombs; who had his abode among the tombs; and no man could secure him, not even with chains; ⁴ for he had been often bound with fetters and chains, and the chains were burst asunder by him, and the fetters broken in pieces, and no man was able to master him: ⁵ and continually night and day he was in the mountains, and in the tombs, screaming, and cutting himself with stones.

²⁹ And lo! they cried out, saying, What have we to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God? art thou come hither before the time to torment us?

²⁴ saying, Let us alone; what have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art, the Holy One of God. ²⁵ And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Be silent, and come out of him. ²⁶ And the unclean spirit threw him into convulsions, and crying with a loud voice, came out of him. ²⁷ And they were all in astonishment, so that they questioned one another, saying, What is this? what is this new doctrine? that with authority he commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey him?

⁶ But when he saw Jesus afar off, he ran and worshipped him, ⁷ and crying with a loud voice, said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus thou Son of God most high? I adjure thee by God, that thou dost not send me to torment. ⁸ (For he had said unto him, Come out, unclean spirit, from the man.)

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

³⁷ And the whole multitude of the country around the Gadarenes, entreated him to depart from them; for they were seized with great terror: and he embarked on the vessel, and returned. ³⁸ And the man out of whom the devils had gone, besought him to be with him; but Jesus sent him away, saying,

¹⁶ Now it happened as we were going to the oratory, a certain damsel having a pythonic spirit met us, who produced for her masters much gain as a fortuneteller: ¹⁷ she following Paul and us, cried out, saying, These men are the servants of the most high God, who preach to you the way of salvation. ¹⁸ And this she did for several days. Then Paul was wearied out, and turning, said to the spirit, I command thee in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And he came out that very hour.

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

⁴ For if God spared not the angels when they sinned, but casting them bound in chains of darkness into hell, delivered them to be kept fast until the judgment;

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

¹ AND I saw an angel descending from heaven, having the key of the abyss [of hell], and a great chain in his hand: ² and he seized on the dragon, the old serpent, which is the devil and Satan, and bound him a thousand years, ³ and cast him into the abyss, and shut him up, and put a seal upon it, that he might deceive the nations no more until the thousand years are completed: and after that he must be loosed a short time.

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.

⁸ (For he had said unto him, Come out, unclean spirit, from the man.)

²⁰ And they brought him unto him. And seeing him, instantly the spirit threw him into convulsions; and falling to the ground, he rolled about, foaming at the mouth. ²¹ And he asked his father, For how long a time hath this been the case with him? And he replied, From his infancy. ²² And often it hath cast him into the fire, and into water, to destroy him: but if thou art able, have compassion upon us, and help us. ²³ Then said Jesus unto him, This [is the point]: if thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth. ²⁴ And immediately the father of the child said with tears, I believe, Lord! help my unbelief! ²⁵ Then Jesus, seeing that the multitude were running up to him, rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to him, Thou dumb and deaf spirit, I command thee, come out of him, and enter into him no more. ²⁶ And screaming, and convulsing him violently, it came out: and the child lay as if dead; insomuch that many said, He is dead.

³⁹ And, behold! a spirit taketh him, and suddenly he crieth out, and convulseth him, with foaming; and bruising him, with difficulty retires from him.

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

¹² so that even from his skin there were brought handkerchiefs and aprons unto the diseased, and their disorders were chased from them, and the evil spirits came out of them. ¹³ Then certain of the Jews, who went about as exorcists, attempted to make mention of the name of the Lord Jesus over those who had evil spirits, saying, We adjure you by Jesus whom Paul preacheth. ¹⁴ And they were seven sons of Sceva a Jew, a chief priest, who did this. ¹⁵ Then the evil spirit replied, Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are ye? ¹⁶ And the man sprang upon them, in whom was the evil spirit, and getting the mastery over them, prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded.

²⁵ with meekness correcting those who are opposers, if at last God may give unto them repentance so as to submit to the conviction of the truth; ²⁶ and that they may escape out of the snare of the devil, who have been captured by him for his will.

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

⁹ And he interrogated him, What is thy name? and he replied, saying, Legion is my name; for we are many.

² And certain women who had been cured of evil spirits and sicknesses, Mary called Magdalene, from whom seven devils had gone out.

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:

²⁸ But when he saw Jesus, roaring out, he fell down before him, and said with a loud voice, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God Most High? I pray thee, torment me not.

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.

¹ AND the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven to the earth; and to him was given the key of the pit of the abyss [of hell]. ² And he opened the pit of the abyss; and a smoke ascended out of the pit like the smoke of a vast furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by the smoke of the pit.

¹¹ And they had over them a king, the angel of the abyss [of hell], whose name in Hebrew is Abaddon, and in Greek he is called Appollyon.

⁷ And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast which ascendeth out of hell shall make war with them, and shall overcome them, and put them to death.

⁸ The beast which thou seest was, and is not; and shall come up out of the abyss [of hell], and shall go into perdition: and the dwellers upon earth will wonder, (whose names are not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world,) when they shall see the beast which was, and is not, though he is.

²⁰ And the beast was seized upon, and with him the false prophet who performed the wonders before him, by which he deceived those who received the brand of the beast, and those who worshipped his image. They were both hurled alive into the lake of fire which burneth with brimstone.

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.

³⁰ And at a considerable distance, there was a great herd of swine feeding. ³¹ Then the devils besought him, saying, If thou cast us out, permit us to go into the herd of swine. ³² And he said to them, Go. Then they going forth out [of him], entered into the herd of swine: and lo! the whole herd of the swine rushed down a precipice into the sea, and perished in the waters. ³³ But they who fed them fled, and going away into the city, reported all things, and what had happened to the demoniacs.

¹¹ And a great herd of swine was there feeding on the mountain: ¹² and all the devils besought him, saying, Send us into the swine, that we may enter into them. ¹³ And immediately Jesus permitted them. And the unclean spirits going forth, entered into the swine; and the herd rushed violently down a precipice into the sea (they were about two thousand), and were suffocated in the sea.

¹¹ Jesus answered, Thou wouldest have had no authority over me, unless it had been given thee from above: for this reason, he that hath delivered me up to thee hath the greater crime.

⁴ Ye are of God, my dear children, and have overcome them; because he that is in you is greater than he that is in the world.

⁷ And when the thousand years shall be completed, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison;

²² And it came to pass on one of the days, that he went himself into a ship, and his disciples, and said unto them, Let us pass over to the farther side of the lake. And they set fail. ²³ And while they were on the passage, he went to sleep: and a hurricane of wind rushed down on the lake; and they were filled with water, and imminent danger.

⁴⁴ Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will practise. He was a murderer from the beginning, and stood not fast in the truth, because truth was not in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh what is peculiarly his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

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

³³ But they who fed them fled, and going away into the city, reported all things, and what had happened to the demoniacs.

¹¹ And as they were going, some of the guards who were come into the city, had told the chief priests all things which had happened.

¹⁴ Then the swineherds fled, and carried the tidings into the city and into the country. And they went out to see what was done.

¹⁶ And the man sprang upon them, in whom was the evil spirit, and getting the mastery over them, prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded. ¹⁷ And this was known to all, both Jews and Greeks, who dwelt at Ephesus: and fear fell on them all, and they magnified the name of the Lord.

¹⁵ And they came to Jesus, and saw the demoniac that had the legion, seated and clothed, and in his sound mind: and they were afraid.

⁴⁶ And it came to pass after three days, they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the doctors, both hearing them and asking them questions.

²⁷ And as he landed, there met him a certain man from the city, who had devils for a long while, and kept no clothes on him, and never abode in a house, but in the tombs.

³⁹ And she had a sister called Mary, who sitting down also at the feet of Jesus, hearkened to his discourse.

¹⁷ Then coming to himself, he said, How many hirelings of my father abound with loaves of bread, and I am pining away with famine!

³ I am indeed a Jewish man, born in Tarsus of Cilicia, but educated in this city at the feet of Gamaliel, instructed accurately in the law of our fathers, being zealous for God, as ye all are this day:

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

²⁴ And there went out a report of him into all Syria: and they brought unto him all who had illness, the afflicted with various diseases and painful complaints, and the demoniacs, and lunatics, and paralytics; and he healed them.

³⁴ And, behold, all the city came out to meet him: and when they saw him, they besought him to depart from their territories.

¹⁷ And they began to entreat him to depart out of their coasts.

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!

⁵ And whosoever shall not receive you, when ye go out of that city, shake off the dust from your feet, for a testimony against them.

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

¹⁰ And into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you not, go out into the streets of it, and say, ¹¹ Even the dust of your city, which sticks to us, we shake off against you: nevertheless this know, that the kingdom of God is come near to you.

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

³⁹ So they came and spoke kindly to them, and fetching them out, besought them to depart from the city.

³⁷ And the whole multitude of the country around the Gadarenes, entreated him to depart from them; for they were seized with great terror: and he embarked on the vessel, and returned.

¹³ But Ananias answered, Lord, I have heard from many of this man, how many evils he hath inflicted on thy saints at Jerusalem: ¹⁴ and here he hath authority from the chief priests to bind all that call upon thy name. ¹⁵ But the Lord said unto him, Go: for this man is an elect vessel for me, to bear my name before nations, and kings, and the children of Israel: ¹⁶ for I will shew him how many things he must suffer for my name's sake.

²³ only they had heard, that he who persecuted us in time past, now preaches the faith which he once laid waste. ²⁴ And they glorified God on my behalf.

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:

¹³ who was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and insolently violent, But I was admitted to mercy, for I did it ignorantly in unbelief; ¹⁴ but the grace of our Lord hath exceedingly abounded with faith and love, which is in Christ Jesus. 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.

⁴⁵ But he going out, began to proclaim it much, and to publish abroad an account of it, so that he could no more openly come into the city; but was without in desert places; and they came to him from all parts of the country.

¹⁵ Then one of them, seeing that he was cured, returned, and with a loud voice gave glory to God, ¹⁶ and fell prostrate at his feet giving him thanks: and he was a Samaritan. ¹⁷ Then Jesus spake and said, were there not ten cleansed? but where are the nine? ¹⁸ There are none found returning to give glory to God, but this alien.

²⁹ Come with me; behold a man, who told me all things that I ever did: is not this the Messiah?

⁸ But if any man provide not for his own relations, and especially for those more immediately of his own family, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel.

¹ AND going on board the vessel, he passed over, and came to his own city.

³⁷ David himself therefore calleth him Lord; and whence then is he his son? And a vast multitude heard him with delight.

⁶ And he hastened to come down, and entertained him gladly.

³⁷ And when he was now approaching, at the descent of the mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples rejoicing began to praise God with a loud voice for all the miracles which they had seen; ³⁸ saying, Blessed is the King, who cometh in the name of the Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest.

⁴⁸ but did not discover how they could do any thing: for all the people attentively hung on his lips.

⁷ And Jesus said unto him, I will come and heal him. ⁸ And the centurion said, I am not a fit person, that thou shouldest come under my roof: but only speak a word, and my servant be cured.

¹⁸ As he was speaking these things to them, behold, there came a ruler, and prostrated himself before him, saying, My daughter hath just now died: but come and lay thine hand upon her, and she shall live. ¹⁹ And Jesus arose, and followed him, and his disciples also. ²⁰ And, behold, a woman, who had an haemorrage twelve years, came behind, and touched the fringe of his garment: ²¹ for she said within herself, If I only touch his garment, I shall be cured. ²² Then Jesus, turning about and beholding her, said, Be encouraged, daughter; thy faith hath saved thee. And the woman was cured from that hour. ²³ And when Jesus was come into the ruler's house, and saw the flute-players, and a multitude confusedly lamenting, ²⁴ he saith to them, Retire; for the little girl is not dead, but sleeping. And they derided him. ²⁵ So when the multitude was put out, he went in, and took her by the hand, and the little girl arose. ²⁶ And the fame of it went forth into all that country.

²² And, behold, there cometh to him one of the rulers of the synagogue, named Jairus; and seeing him, fell at his feet, ²³ and entreated him importunately, saying, My little daughter is at the last gasp; wilt thou come, and lay thy hands upon her, that she may recover, and she shall live. ²⁴ And he went with him: and there followed him a great crowd, and they thronged him. ²⁵ And a certain woman, having a flux of blood twelve years, ²⁶ and had suffered much from many physicians; and had expended all she had, and was nothing better, but rather growing worse and worse; ²⁷ when she heard of Jesus, came in the crowd behind him, and touched his garment: ²⁸ for she said, If I but touch his clothes, I shall recover. ²⁹ And instantly the fountain of her blood was dried up, and she felt in her body that she was cured of her afflictive disease. ³⁰ And Jesus immediately perceiving in himself that miraculous power had gone forth from him, turning about in the crowd, said, Who touched my garments? ³¹ And his disciples said to him, Thou seest the crowd thronging thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me? ³² And he looked round to see her who had done this. ³³ Then the woman, fearful and trembling, knowing what had been done in her, came and fell down before him, and told him all the truth. ³⁴ And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace, and be whole from thy distressing disease. ³⁵ And while he was yet speaking, they came from the ruler of the synagogue's house, saying, Thy daughter is dead; why dost thou trouble the master any further? ³⁶ But Jesus, instantly hearing the account given, said to the ruler of the synagogue, Fear not, only believe. ³⁷ And he permitted no person to follow him, but Peter, and James, and John a brother of James. ³⁸ And he cometh to the house of the ruler of the synagogue, and seeth the confusion, as they were greatly lamenting and making loud moanings. ³⁹ And entering in he saith, Why make ye this uproar, and weep? the damsel is not dead, but sleepeth. ⁴⁰ And they derided him; but he thrusting them all out, took the father and the mother of the maiden, and those who were with him, and went in where the damsel was laid out. ⁴¹ And taking the hand of the damsel, he saith unto her, Talitha cumi! which is, being interpreted, Damsel, I say unto thee, arise! ⁴² And immediately the damsel arose and walked about, for she was twelve years old. And they were astonished with vast astonishment. ⁴³ And he very strongly charged them that no person should know it; and ordered something to be given her to eat.

⁴⁹ And while he was yet speaking, a person came to the ruler of the synagogue, saying to him, Thy daughter is dead, give the master no further trouble.

¹⁴ Then the ruler of the synagogue, indignant, that on the sabbath Jesus had performed the cure, addressing himself to the multitude, said, There are six days in which work is to be done: on these therefore come and be cured, and not on the sabbath-day.

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

⁴⁶ Then came Jesus again to Cana of Galilee, where he had made the water wine. And there was a certain attendant on the king, whose son was sick at Capernaum. 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.

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

³⁸ And as Lydda was near to Joppa, the disciples hearing that Peter was there, sent two men to him, entreating him without delay to come over to them.

¹⁵ Then after the reading of the law and the prophets, the rulers of the synagogues sent to them, saying, Men and brethren, if ye are disposed to give a word of exhortation to the people, speak.

⁸ But Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue, believed in the Lord with all his house: and many of the Corinthians hearing, believed, and were baptised.

¹⁷ Then all the Greeks laid hold on Sosthenes the ruler of the synagogue, and beat him before the tribunal. And Gallio paid no regard to any of these things.

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.

²⁴ And he went with him: and there followed him a great crowd, and they thronged him.

¹² And as he drew near the gate of the city, behold, a dead man was carrying out, an only son to his mother, and she a widow; and a great concourse of the city was with her.

⁴⁵ And Jesus said, Who touched me? And when all denied, Peter, and those who were with him, said, Master, the multitudes throng and press thee, and sayest thou, Who hath touched me?

¹² Therefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and by sin death; even so death passed into all men through him, in whom all have sinned.

²⁰ And, behold, a woman, who had an haemorrage twelve years, came behind, and touched the fringe of his garment: ²¹ for she said within herself, If I only touch his garment, I shall be cured. ²² Then Jesus, turning about and beholding her, said, Be encouraged, daughter; thy faith hath saved thee. And the woman was cured from that hour.

²⁵ And a certain woman, having a flux of blood twelve years, ²⁶ and had suffered much from many physicians; and had expended all she had, and was nothing better, but rather growing worse and worse;

¹⁸ and wherever he seizeth him, he throws him into strong convulsions: and he foams at the mouth, and grinds his teeth, and pines away. And I spoke to thy disciples, that they should cast him out; and they were unable.

²¹ And he asked his father, For how long a time hath this been the case with him? And he replied, From his infancy. ²² And often it hath cast him into the fire, and into water, to destroy him: but if thou art able, have compassion upon us, and help us.

¹¹ And, behold, there was a woman who had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and was bowed together, and unable to raise herself at all up.

¹⁶ And ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan hath bound, lo, these eighteen years, to be loosed from this bond on the sabbath-day?

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?

¹ AND as he passed along, he saw a man blind from his birth.

²¹ but how he now seeth, we know not; or who hath opened his eyes, we know not: he is of age; ask him: he himself will tell you about it.

² when a certain man who was lame from his mother's womb was carried, whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple called Beautiful, to ask alms of those who were entering into the temple;

²² For the man was more than forty years of age, upon whom this miracle of healing was performed.

⁸ And there was a certain man at Lystra, who having lost the use of his feet was sitting, being lame from his mother's womb, and who had never been able to walk: ⁹ this person heard Paul speaking; who fixing his eyes on him, and discovering that he had faith to be healed, ¹⁰ said with a loud voice, Stand up firm on thy feet! And he leaped and walked.

³ And stretching out his hand, Jesus touched him, saying, I will; be thou clean. And instantly the leprosy was cleansed.

³⁴ Then Jesus, moved with compassion, touched their eyes; and immediately their eyes recovered sight, and they followed him.

²⁷ when she heard of Jesus, came in the crowd behind him, and touched his garment: ²⁸ for she said, If I but touch his clothes, I shall recover.

⁵⁶ And wherever they entered into villages or cities, or country places, they laid the sick in the streets, and besought him that they might touch, if but the fringe on his garment; and as many as touched it, were cured.

³⁸ and standing at his feet behind him, began to water his feet with her tears, and to wipe them with the hair of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with the perfumed balm.

¹³ And he laid his hands upon her: and instantly she became erect, and glorified God.

¹³ Now he that was cured knew not who he was: for Jesus had slipped away, a crowd being on the spot.

¹⁵ Insomuch that they carried out into the streets the sick, and laid them on beds and couches, that when Peter was coming by, if but even his shadow might pass over some of them.

¹² so that even from his skin there were brought handkerchiefs and aprons unto the diseased, and their disorders were chased from them, and the evil spirits came out of them.

³⁰ And Jesus immediately perceiving in himself that miraculous power had gone forth from him, turning about in the crowd, said, Who touched my garments? ³¹ And his disciples said to him, Thou seest the crowd thronging thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me? ³² And he looked round to see her who had done this.

¹³ Then he said unto them, Give ye them to eat. And they said, We have no more than five loaves, and two fishes; unless we go somewhere and buy provisions for all this multitude:

¹⁷ And on a certain day it happened that he was teaching, and there were sitting Pharisees, and doctors of the law, who had come from every town of Galilee, and Judea, and Jerusalem: and the power of the Lord for healing them was exercised.

¹⁹ And all the multitude strove to touch him, for there went virtue out of him, and healed them all.

⁹ But ye are an elect race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people acquired by purchase; that ye should publish abroad the excellencies of him, who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:

⁸ And they went out quickly from the sepulchre with fear, and great joy; and ran to carry the tidings to his disciples.

³³ Then the woman, fearful and trembling, knowing what had been done in her, came and fell down before him, and told him all the truth.

¹⁵ Then one of them, seeing that he was cured, returned, and with a loud voice gave glory to God, ¹⁶ and fell prostrate at his feet giving him thanks: and he was a Samaritan.

²⁹ Thereupon calling for a light, he rushed in, and fell down trembling before Paul and Silas;

³ And in weakness, and in fear, and in much timidity, was I among you.

¹⁵ And his bowels more abundantly yearn over you, when he remembers the obedience of you all, how with fear and trembling ye received him.

¹² Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always been obedient, not only during my presence with you, but now much more in my absence, with fear and trembling work out your own salvation.

²⁸ Wherefore receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, may we hold fast the grace, by which we can offer to God acceptably divine service, with reverence and pious awe:

¹³ And Jesus said to the centurion, Go; and as thou hast believed, be it to thee. And his servant was cured at that very hour.

² And lo! they brought him a paralytic stretched on a bed: and Jesus seeing their faith said to the paralytic, Be of good cheer, son; thy sins are forgiven thee.

²² Then Jesus, turning about and beholding her, said, Be encouraged, daughter; thy faith hath saved thee. And the woman was cured from that hour.

²⁰ A bruised reed shall he not break down, and smoking flax shall he not quench, until he break forth in judgment for victory.

³⁴ And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace, and be whole from thy distressing disease.

⁵⁰ But he said unto the woman, Thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace.

¹⁹ And he said to him, Arise, go thy way: thy faith hath saved thee.

⁴² And Jesus said unto him, Receive thy sight: thy faith hath saved thee.

⁹ this person heard Paul speaking; who fixing his eyes on him, and discovering that he had faith to be healed,

² For we are hearing the same gospel preached as they did; but the word heard did not profit them, not being incorporated by faith with those who heard it.

⁶ Then Jesus went with them. And when he was now not far from the house, the centurion dispatched towards him friends, saying to him, Lord, trouble not thyself: for I am not deserving that thou shouldest enter beneath my roof.

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; ⁴² for he had an only daughter, about twelve years old, and she was dying: and as he was going, the multitude thronged him. ⁴³ And a woman, who had a flux of blood, for twelve years, who had spent all her substance on physicians, and could not get a cure from any;

⁷ And he from within answering, shall say, Give me no farther trouble: my door is already locked, and my children are with me in bed; I am unable to rise and give thee.

³⁶ But Jesus, instantly hearing the account given, said to the ruler of the synagogue, Fear not, only believe.

²³ Then said Jesus unto him, This [is the point]: if thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.

²² And Jesus answering said to them, Have faith in God. ²³ For verily I say to you, That whosoever shall say to this mountain, Be thou lifted up, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall harbour no doubt in his heart, but believe that what he saith shall come to pass; whatsoever he may speak shall be done for him. ²⁴ Therefore I say unto you, That all things whatever ye ask in prayer, believe that ye shall receive them, and they shall be given you.

⁴⁸ Then he said unto her, Be of good cheer, daughter, thy faith hath made thee well; go in peace.

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:

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.

²⁰ for he disputed not against the promise of God with unbelief; but was mighty in faith, giving glory to God;

⁵ And when thou prayest, be not as the hypocrites: for they love standing in the synagogues and at the corners of the streets, to pray, that they may make a shew to men. Verily I say unto you, That they have their reward. ⁶ But when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and shut thy door, to pray to thy Father who is in secret; and thy Father who seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.

³⁷ And he permitted no person to follow him, but Peter, and James, and John a brother of James. ³⁸ And he cometh to the house of the ruler of the synagogue, and seeth the confusion, as they were greatly lamenting and making loud moanings. ³⁹ And entering in he saith, Why make ye this uproar, and weep? the damsel is not dead, but sleepeth. ⁴⁰ And they derided him; but he thrusting them all out, took the father and the mother of the maiden, and those who were with him, and went in where the damsel was laid out.

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:

¹⁴ Simon, whom he also called Peter, and Andrew his brother, James and John, Philip and Bartholomew,

²⁸ And it was about eight days after these discourses, that taking Peter, and John, and James, he went up into a mountain to pray.

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.

¹⁷ and saying, We have piped to you, and ye have not danced; we have sung mournful ditties to you, and ye have not beat your breasts.

³⁸ And he cometh to the house of the ruler of the synagogue, and seeth the confusion, as they were greatly lamenting and making loud moanings. ³⁹ And entering in he saith, Why make ye this uproar, and weep? the damsel is not dead, but sleepeth.

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.

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.

⁴⁴ Then Pilate marvelled that he should be already dead: and calling for the centurion, he asked him, If he had been dead any time. ⁴⁵ And when he knew it from the centurion, he gave the body to Joseph.

¹⁴ Then the Pharisees also, who were dear lovers of money, heard all these things, and they sneered at him.

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.

³³ But when they came to Jesus, as they saw that he was already dead, they brake not his legs: ³⁴ but one of the soldiers with his lance pierced his side, and immediately there gushed out blood and water. ³⁵ And he that saw it bore witness, and we know that his testimony is true: and he himself is conscious that he speaketh what is true, that ye might believe.

²⁵ So when the multitude was put out, he went in, and took her by the hand, and the little girl arose.

³¹ And he came and raised her up, and the fever left her immediately, and she waited upon them.

⁴⁰ And they derided him; but he thrusting them all out, took the father and the mother of the maiden, and those who were with him, and went in where the damsel was laid out. ⁴¹ And taking the hand of the damsel, he saith unto her, Talitha cumi! which is, being interpreted, Damsel, I say unto thee, arise!

²³ And he took the blind man by the hand, and led him without the city; and spitting on his eyes, he laid his hands upon him, and asked him if he saw aught.

²⁷ But Jesus taking him by the hand, raised him up; and he arose.

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.

⁵¹ And entering into the house, he suffered no person to come in, but Peter, and James, and John, and the father and mother of the child.

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

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.

⁴³ And when he had thus spoken, with a loud voice he cried, Lazarus, come forth!

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

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

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!

⁴ And Jesus said to him, See thou tell no man; but go, shew thyself to the priest, and offer the gift which Moses commanded for a testimony unto them.

³⁰ And their eyes were opened; and Jesus strictly charged them, saying, Take care that no person know it.

¹⁴ And he commanded him to tell no man: but go shew thyself to the priest, and offer for thy purification, as Moses enjoined, for a testimony unto them.
