And they say unto him, Shall we go and buy the value of two hundred denarii, in loaves, and give them to eat? ³⁸ But he said to them, How many loaves have ye? go and see. And when they knew, they said, Five, and two fishes. ³⁹ And he commanded them to seat them all by companies on the green grass: ⁴⁰ and they lay along row against row, a hundred deep, and fifty wide. ⁴¹ And taking the five loaves and the two fishes, he looked up to heaven, and blessed, and brake the loaves, and gave them to the disciples, that they should set them before them, and the two fishes he divided among them all. ⁴² And they did all eat, and were filled: ⁴³ and they took up twelve baskets full of the fragments, and of the fishes. ⁴⁴ And they who did eat of the loaves, were about five thousand men. 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.

¹⁰ And when the apostles returned, they told him what they had done. And taking them, he withdrew privately into a desert place belonging to the city called Bethsaida. ¹¹ But when the multitudes knew it, they followed him and receiving them, he spake to them concerning the kingdom of God, and healed those who had need of a cure. ¹² Now the day began to decline: and the twelve coming to him, said, Dismiss the multitude, that going away into the villages and farms round about, they may lodge and find provision; for here we are in a desert place. 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: ¹⁴ for there were about five thousand men. Then said he to his disciples, Make them sit down by fifties each in companies. ¹⁵ And they did so: and they made them all sit down. ¹⁶ And taking the five loaves, and the two fishes, looking up to heaven, he blessed them, and brake, and gave to the disciples to set before the multitude. ¹⁷ And they did all eat, and were filled; and there were taken up of the fragments which were more than enough for them, twelve baskets.

¹⁷ Then the seventy returned with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject to us through thy name.

⁴⁴ Now Philip was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter.

⁵ Then Jesus lifting up his eyes, and seeing that a vast concourse of people was come to him, said to Philip, Whence shall we buy loaves, that these may eat? ⁶ And this he said to try him: for himself knew what he would do. ⁷ Philip answered him, Two hundred denarii spent in bread would not procure a sufficiency for them, that every one of them might have a morsel. ⁸ One of his disciples saith to him, (Andrew, Simon Peter's brother,) ⁹ There is a little lad here, who hath five barley-loaves, and two small fishes: but these, what are they among so many? ¹⁰ Then said Jesus, Make the men sit down. For there was plenty of grass on the spot. Therefore the men sat down, in number about five thousand. ¹¹ And Jesus took the loaves; and giving thanks, gave to the disciples, and the disciples to those who were sat down; and in the same manner of the fishes, as much as they chose. ¹² And when they had made a hearty meal, he saith to his disciples, Gather up the broken bits which are left, that not a morsel be wasted. ¹³ Then they collected them, and filled twelve baskets with fragments out of the five barley-loaves, which were more than enough for those who had eaten.

³³ And the multitudes observed them going off, and many knew him, and ran thither on foot out of all the cities, and got before them, and came together unto him. ³⁴ And Jesus, when he landed, saw a vast multitude, and was moved with companion towards them, for they were as sheep having no shepherd: and he began to teach them many things.

²³ But he replied not a word to her. Then his disciples came and intreated him, saying, Send her away; for she is crying aloud after us.

³² Then Jesus calling his disciples, said, I have compassion on the multitude, for they have now continued with me three days, and have not any thing to eat: and send them away fasting I will not, lest they faint on the road.

³⁵ And when great part of the day was already gone, his disciples coming to him said, This is a desert place, and much of the day is already gone: ³⁶ send them away, that they may go into the country places and villages around, and buy themselves bread; for they have nothing to eat. ³⁷ But he answering said unto them, Give ye them to eat. And they say unto him, Shall we go and buy the value of two hundred denarii, in loaves, and give them to eat? ³⁸ But he said to them, How many loaves have ye? go and see. And when they knew, they said, Five, and two fishes. ³⁹ And he commanded them to seat them all by companies on the green grass: ⁴⁰ and they lay along row against row, a hundred deep, and fifty wide. ⁴¹ And taking the five loaves and the two fishes, he looked up to heaven, and blessed, and brake the loaves, and gave them to the disciples, that they should set them before them, and the two fishes he divided among them all. ⁴² And they did all eat, and were filled: ⁴³ and they took up twelve baskets full of the fragments, and of the fishes. ⁴⁴ And they who did eat of the loaves, were about five thousand men.

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

⁵ Then Jesus lifting up his eyes, and seeing that a vast concourse of people was come to him, said to Philip, Whence shall we buy loaves, that these may eat? ⁶ And this he said to try him: for himself knew what he would do. ⁷ Philip answered him, Two hundred denarii spent in bread would not procure a sufficiency for them, that every one of them might have a morsel. ⁸ One of his disciples saith to him, (Andrew, Simon Peter's brother,) ⁹ There is a little lad here, who hath five barley-loaves, and two small fishes: but these, what are they among so many? ¹⁰ Then said Jesus, Make the men sit down. For there was plenty of grass on the spot. Therefore the men sat down, in number about five thousand. ¹¹ And Jesus took the loaves; and giving thanks, gave to the disciples, and the disciples to those who were sat down; and in the same manner of the fishes, as much as they chose. ¹² And when they had made a hearty meal, he saith to his disciples, Gather up the broken bits which are left, that not a morsel be wasted. ¹³ Then they collected them, and filled twelve baskets with fragments out of the five barley-loaves, which were more than enough for those who had eaten. ¹⁴ When therefore the men saw the miracle which Jesus had done, they said, This is of a certainty that prophet which is to come into the world. ¹⁵ Then Jesus, knowing their intention to come and to seize him by force, in order to make him king, retired again into the mountain by himself alone.

¹⁶ But Jesus said unto them, They need not depart: give ye them to eat. ¹⁷ And they said unto him, We have nothing here except five loaves and two fishes.

³⁷ But he answering said unto them, Give ye them to eat. And they say unto him, Shall we go and buy the value of two hundred denarii, in loaves, and give them to eat? ³⁸ But he said to them, How many loaves have ye? go and see. And when they knew, they said, Five, and two fishes.

⁵ Then Jesus lifting up his eyes, and seeing that a vast concourse of people was come to him, said to Philip, Whence shall we buy loaves, that these may eat? ⁶ And this he said to try him: for himself knew what he would do. ⁷ Philip answered him, Two hundred denarii spent in bread would not procure a sufficiency for them, that every one of them might have a morsel. ⁸ One of his disciples saith to him, (Andrew, Simon Peter's brother,) ⁹ There is a little lad here, who hath five barley-loaves, and two small fishes: but these, what are they among so many?

³⁹ And he commanded them to seat them all by companies on the green grass: ⁴⁰ and they lay along row against row, a hundred deep, and fifty wide.

⁶ And he commanded the multitude to recline in order on the ground: and taking the seven loaves, having given thanks he brake them, and gave to his disciples, that they should set before the people; and they distributed them to the multitude.

⁴⁰ Let all things be done with propriety, and orderly.

¹⁹ And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the grass, and taking the five loaves and the two fishes, looking up to heaven, he blessed them, and brake, and gave the loaves to the disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.

³⁶ And taking the seven loaves and the fishes, he gave thanks, and brake, and gave to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.

³⁴ and looking up to heaven, he heaved a deep sigh, and saith unto him, Ephphatha! that is, Be opened.

¹⁹ And taking a loaf, he gave thanks, and brake, and gave it to them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: do this in remembrance of me.

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

¹¹ And Jesus took the loaves; and giving thanks, gave to the disciples, and the disciples to those who were sat down; and in the same manner of the fishes, as much as they chose.

²³ (but now little vessels had come from Tiberias near to the spot where they had eaten bread, after the Lord had given thanks:)

³⁵ And so saying, and taking a loaf, he gave thanks to God before them all, and breaking it, began to eat.

⁶ He that observeth a day, to the Lord he observeth it; and he that observeth not a day, to the Lord he doth not observe it. He that eateth, to the Lord he eateth, for he giveth thanks to God; and he that eateth not, to the Lord he eateth not, and giveth thanks to God.

³⁰ For why is my liberty abridged by another's conscience? If I truly with thanksgiving am a partaker, why am I evil spoken of for that for which I give thanks?

²⁴ and when he had blessed it, he brake it, and said, Take, eat; this is my body, which is broken for you: do this in remembrance of me.

⁴ For every creature of God is good, and none to be rejected, if used with thanksgiving: ⁵ for it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.

³⁷ And they did all eat, and were filled: and took up a superabundance of fragments seven baskets full. ³⁸ And they that had eaten were four thousand men, besides women and children.

⁹ Do you not consider, nor remember the five loaves among the five thousand, and how many baskets ye took up? ¹⁰ Nor the seven loaves among the four thousand, and how many baskets ye took up?

⁸ And they did eat and were filled and they took up what remained of the fragments, seven baskets. ⁹ And the persons who had eaten were about four thousand: and he sent them away.

¹⁹ When I broke the five loaves among the five thousand, how many baskets full of fragments took ye up? They say unto him, Twelve. ²⁰ And when the seven loaves among the four thousand, how many baskets full of fragments took ye up? They said, Seven.

¹⁸ But I have now all things, and abound: I am full, having received from Epaphroditus your bounty, an odour of sweet smell, an acceptable sacrifice, well pleasing to God. ¹⁹ But my God will fully supply all your want, according to his riches in glory, by Christ Jesus.

¹³ Then Jesus coming into the parts of Caesarea Philippi, questioned his disciples, saying, Who do men say that I am? The Son of Man? ¹⁴ But they replied, Some, that thou art John the Baptist; but others, Elias; and others again, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets. ¹⁵ He saith unto them, But who do ye say that I am? ¹⁶ Then Simon Peter answering said, Thou art the Messiah, the Son of the living God.

³⁶ Then cometh Jesus with them to a place called Gethsemane, and saith to his disciples, Sit ye here, while I go and pray yonder.

²⁷ And Jesus and his disciples went out into the towns of Caesarea Philippi: and on the road he asked his disciples, saying unto them, Who do men say that I am? ²⁸ And they answered, John the Baptist: others say, Elias; and others, One of the prophets. ²⁹ And he said unto them, But who do ye say that I am? Then Peter answering, said unto him, Thou art the Messiah. ³⁰ And he strictly enjoined them, that they should tell no man of this.

¹ AND it came to pass, as he was in a certain place praying, when he had done, one of his disciples said to him, Lord, teach us to pray, even as John also taught his disciples.

³⁹ And going out, he went, according to his custom, to the mount of Olives; and his disciples also followed him. ⁴⁰ And when he came to the spot, he said unto them, Pray that ye enter not into temptation. ⁴¹ And he withdrew from them about a stone's cast, and kneeling down, he prayed,

² and said unto his servants, This is John the Baptist; he is risen from the dead, and therefore miracles are wrought by him.

⁷ Then Herod the tetrarch heard of all things that were done by him; and he was in much distraction of mind, because it was said by some, that John was risen from the dead: ⁸ and of some that Elias had appeared; and of others, that one of the ancient prophets was risen again.

²⁵ And they questioned him, and said to him, Why then dost thou baptise, if thou be not the Messiah, nor Elias, nor that prophet?

⁴⁰ Many then of the multitude, when they heard this declaration, said, This man is certainly a prophet.

¹⁷ They say to the blind man again, What sayest thou of him? that he opened thine eyes? Then he replied, That he is a prophet.

⁴⁷ And if ye embrace your brethren only, what do ye extraordinary? do not even the publicans so?

¹⁵ He saith unto them, But who do ye say that I am? ¹⁶ Then Simon Peter answering said, Thou art the Messiah, the Son of the living God. 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.

⁴² saying, What think ye of the Messiah, whose son is he? They say unto him, David's.

⁶³ But Jesus was silent. And the high-priest addressing him, said, I adjure thee, by the living God, that thou tell us, if thou art the Messiah, the Son of God.

²⁹ And he said unto them, But who do ye say that I am? Then Peter answering, said unto him, Thou art the Messiah.

⁶¹ But he kept silence, and made them not a word of reply. Again the high-priest questioned him, and said to him, Art thou the Messiah, the Son of the blessed?

⁶⁷ If thou art the Messiah, tell us. And he said unto them, If I tell you, ye will not believe:

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

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

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

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

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

⁴¹ Others said, He is the Messiah. But others said, No: for cometh the Messiah out of Galilee?

²⁷ She saith to him, Yes, Lord I believe that thou art the Messiah, the Son of God, who cometh into the world.

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

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

²² But Saul was endued with still greater power, and confounded the Jews who dwelt at Damascus, conclusively evincing that this person is the Messiah.

³ opening them clearly, and laying it evidently down that the Messiah must suffer, and rise again from the dead; and that this man is the Messiah, even Jesus, whom I preach unto you.

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

²⁰ Then he commanded his disciples, that they should tell no man that he was Jesus the Messiah.

⁹ And when they were coming down from the mountain, Jesus commanded them, saying, Tell no man the vision, until the Son of man is risen from the dead.

³⁰ And he strictly enjoined them, that they should tell no man of this. ³¹ And he began to teach them, that the Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders, and chief priests, and scribes, and be slain, and after three days rise again.

²¹ From that time Jesus began to shew his disciples, that he must go to Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders, and of the chief-priests, and of the scribes, and be put to death, and the third day rise again. ²² And Peter taking him aside, began to chide him, saying, Mercy on thee, Lord! this shall never be thy case. ²³ Then turning from him, he said unto Peter, Get thee behind me Satan! thou art an offence to me: for thou dost not relish the things of God, but those of men. ²⁴ Then said Jesus to his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. ²⁵ For whosoever is desirous to preserve his life, shall lose it; but whosoever would lose his life for my sake, shall find it. ²⁶ For what would a man be advantaged, though he could gain the whole world, if he should suffer the loss of his soul? or what will a man give as the ransom for his soul? ²⁷ For the Son of man shall hereafter come in the glory of his Father, with his angels, and then shall he recompense every man according to his practice. ²⁸ Verily I say unto you, There are some of those standing here, who shall in no wise taste of death, until they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.

¹² But I say unto you, That Elias is already come, and they knew him not, but have done by him whatsoever they chose: even so also must the Son of man suffer by them.

²² And as they were returning into Galilee, Jesus said unto them, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of men:

³¹ And he began to teach them, that the Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders, and chief priests, and scribes, and be slain, and after three days rise again.

³¹ For he taught his disciples, and said unto them, The Son of man is delivered into the hands of men, and they shall kill him: and after being killed, the third day he shall rise again.

³³ For, lo! said he, we are going up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man will be betrayed to the chief priests, and to the scribes; and they will condemn him to death, and will deliver him to the Gentiles: ³⁴ and they will insult him, and scourge him, and spit upon him, and kill him: and the third day he shall rise again.

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

³¹ Then taking aside the twelve, he said to them, Lo, we are going up to Jerusalem, and all things written by the prophets concerning the Son of man will be fulfilled. ³² For he shall be delivered up to the Gentiles, and they shall insult him, and treat him with indignity, and spit upon him: ³³ and after scourging, shall slay him: and the third day he shall rise again. ³⁴ And they understood none of these things: and the saying was concealed from them, and they knew not the things which were spoken.

⁷ saying, That the Son of man must be delivered up into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.

²⁶ Ought not the Messiah to suffer these things, and to enter into his glory?

²⁵ who by the mouth of David thy servant saidst, Why do the heathen so furiously rage, and the people meditate vain things? ²⁶ The kings of the earth rose up, and the rulers were gathered together against the Lord and against his Messiah. ²⁷ For they have been in truth collected together against thy holy Son Jesus, whom thou hast anointed, even Herod, and Pontius Pilate, with the heathen, and the people of Israel, ²⁸ to do all that thy hand and thy counsel predestined should come to pass.

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

⁴ and that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

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.

³⁸ And he that taketh not up his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me. ³⁹ He that preserveth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall preserve it.

²² And Peter taking him aside, began to chide him, saying, Mercy on thee, Lord! this shall never be thy case. ²³ Then turning from him, he said unto Peter, Get thee behind me Satan! thou art an offence to me: for thou dost not relish the things of God, but those of men. ²⁴ Then said Jesus to his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. ²⁵ For whosoever is desirous to preserve his life, shall lose it; but whosoever would lose his life for my sake, shall find it.

³⁴ Then calling to him the multitude, with his disciples, he said to them, Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. ³⁵ For whosoever would preserve his life shall lose it; but whosoever would lose his life for my sake and the Gospel, he shall preserve it. ³⁶ For what would it profit a man, though he should gain the whole world, if he be punished with the loss of his own soul? ³⁷ Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? ³⁸ For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, before this adulterous and sinful generation; of him will the Son of man also be ashamed, when he shall come in the glory of his Father, with the holy angels.

²⁶ If any man cometh after me, and hateth not father, and mother, and wife and children, and brothers, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple. ²⁷ And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, he cannot be my disciple.

²⁵ He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world, shall preserve it to life eternal. ²⁶ If a man will be my servant, let him follow me; and where I am, there also shall my servant be: and if any man serve me, him will my Father honour.

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

³⁰ and why do we also expose ourselves to danger every hour? ³¹ I solemnly declare by all the joy over you which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily.

⁵ Mortify therefore your members which are on the earth, fornication, impurity, the vile passion, evil concupiscence, and insatiable desire, which is idolatry:

¹² And all indeed who will live godly in Christ Jesus will be persecuted.

¹² instructing us, that denying ungodliness and worldly affections, we should live soberly and righteously, and godly in the present day;

³³ Whosoever seeketh to preserve his life shall lose it; and whosoever would lose it, shall preserve it.

²⁵ He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world, shall preserve it to life eternal.

²³ only this, that the Holy Ghost witnesseth in every city, saying, that bonds and tribulation await thee. ²⁴ Yet I make no account of any [suffering], nor regard my life as of any value to myself, farther than as I may finish my course with joy, and the ministry which I have received of the Lord, to testify fully the Gospel of the grace of God.

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

¹⁰ Fear nothing from the things which thou shalt suffer: lo! the devil will cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have a ten day's tribulation: be thou faithful until death, and I will give thee a crown of life.

¹¹ And they have vanquished him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto death.

⁴⁸ which, when it was full, they drew to the beach, and sitting down, selected the good into baskets, but cast those of a bad kind away.

⁵⁰ and shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

²⁶ For what would a man be advantaged, though he could gain the whole world, if he should suffer the loss of his soul? or what will a man give as the ransom for his soul?

³⁶ For what would it profit a man, though he should gain the whole world, if he be punished with the loss of his own soul?

⁴³ And if thy hand cause thee to offend, cut it off: it were better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having both hands to go into hell, into the fire that never will be quenched: ⁴⁴ where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. ⁴⁵ And if thy foot cause thee to offend, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life halting, than having both feet to be cast into hell, into the fire which never can be quenched: ⁴⁶ where the worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. ⁴⁷ And if thine eye cause thee to offend, pluck it out: it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into the fire of hell: ⁴⁸ where the worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.

⁵ And the devil taking him up into an exceeding high mountain, displayed before him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time: ⁶ and the devil said unto him, I will give thee all this authority, and the glory of these; for to me it is delivered, and to whomsoever I will, I give it. ⁷ If therefore thou wilt worship before me, all shall be thine.

¹⁹ And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast a multitude of good things in store for many years, be at ease, eat, drink, and be merry! 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.

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.

¹⁸ This man indeed accordingly purchased a spot of ground with the wages of iniquity; and projected forward, he burst in the midst, and all his bowels fell out.

²⁵ to take a part in this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas by transgression fell, to go to his own place.

²⁷ but I beat down my body, and bring it into subjection, that I may not by any means, after having preached to others, myself become reprobate.

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

⁷ As much as she hath glorified herself, and rioted in luxury, so much torment and sorrow give her: because she hath said in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow. ⁸ Therefore in one hour shall all her plagues come, death, and mourning, and famine: and she shall be consumed with fire; because mighty is the Lord God, who judgeth her.

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.

³² Every one therefore who shall make confession of me before men, of him will I also make confession before my Father who is in heaven. ³³ But whosoever shall disown me before men, him will I also disown before my Father who is in heaven.

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

³⁰ And then shall the sign of the Son of man appear in the heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth lament bitterly, and they shall see the Son of man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. ³¹ And he shall send forth his angels with a trumpet, and a great shout, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from the extremities of the heavens to the extremities of the same.

³¹ But when the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit on the throne of his glory:

⁶⁴ Jesus saith to him, Thou hast spoken [the fact]. Moreover I tell you, hereafter ye shall see the Son of man sitting at the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.

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

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

²⁵ When the master of the family shall have arisen, and shut the door, and ye shall begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, Master, master, open it for us! and he answering will tell you, I know you not whence ye are: ²⁶ then shall ye begin to say, We have eaten and drunk in thy presence, and thou hast taught in our streets. ²⁷ And he will say, I tell you, I know you not whence ye are; depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity.

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

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

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

¹⁰ Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ's sake; for when I am weak, then am I strong.

¹⁴ But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world,

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

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

¹² if we suffer with him, we shall also reign with him: if we renounce him, he also will renounce us:

²⁶ esteeming the reproach of Christ riches greater than the treasures of Egypt: for he looked earnestly to the recompence of reward.

¹³ Therefore let us go forth to him without the camp, bearing his reproach.

¹⁴ If ye suffer reproach for the name of Christ, blessed are ye; for the spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you: by them indeed he is blasphemed, but by you he is glorified. ¹⁵ Let no one of you then suffer as a murderer, or a thief, or an evil-doer, or a meddler in other persons' business. ¹⁶ But if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him give glory to God on this very account.

¹⁴ Now Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied also of these men, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with myriads of his saints,

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

⁵ He that overcometh, this man shall be clothed in white robes; and I will in no wise blot his name out of the book of life, and I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.

¹¹ And I saw a great white throne, and one sat upon it, from whose presence fled the earth and the heaven, and no place was found for them.

⁸ But to those who shrink back through fear, and to the infidels, and to the abominable, and to murderers, and to whoremongers, and to those who use magical incantations, and to idolaters, and to all liars, is their portion [appointed] in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone; which is the second death.

²⁸ Verily I say unto you, There are some of those standing here, who shall in no wise taste of death, until they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.

¹ AND he said unto them, I tell you of a certainty, that there are some standing here who shall not taste of death, until they see the kingdom of God come with power.

²⁵ Verily I say unto you, That I will henceforth no more drink of the produce of the vine, until that day when I shall drink it new in the kingdom of God.

²⁶ And it had been divinely communicated to him by the Holy Spirit, that he should not see death, till he had seen the Lord's Messiah.

¹⁸ for I say unto you, that I shall no more drink of the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God come.

⁵¹ Verily, verily, I say unto you, If any man observe my saying, he shall never see death to all eternity. ⁵² Then said the Jews to him, Now we know that thou hast a devil. Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and thou sayest, If any man observe my word, he shall never taste of death to eternity.

⁵⁹ Then took they up stones to hurl at him: but Jesus was hid, and went out of the temple, passing through the midst of them, and so went away.

² In my Father's house are many mansions: and if not, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.

⁷ Yet I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I went not away, the Comforter would not come to you; but if I go, I will send him unto you.

²² Jesus saith to him, If I will that he abide till I come, what is that to thee? follow thou me. ²³ Then this speech went forth among the disciples, as though this disciple was not to die: yet Jesus had not said to him, That he shall not die; but, If I will that he abide till I come, what is that to thee?

⁹ But we see Jesus for a little while made lower than angels, by the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour, that, by the grace of God, he might taste of death for every one.

¹ THEN six days after, Jesus taketh Peter, and James, and John his brother, and bringeth them into an exceeding high mountain apart. ² And he was transformed before them; and his face shone as the sun, and his garments were white as the light. ³ And behold, there appeared to them, Moses and Elias talking with him. ⁴ Then Peter addressing him, said to Jesus, Lord, It is well that we are here; if it please thee, we will make here three tents; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias. 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! ⁶ And the disciples hearing it, fell on their face, and were exceedingly affrighted. ⁷ And Jesus came and touched them, and said, Arise, be not affrighted. ⁸ Then lifting up their eyes, they saw no person, but Jesus only. ⁹ And when they were coming down from the mountain, Jesus commanded them, saying, Tell no man the vision, until the Son of man is risen from the dead. ¹⁰ And his disciples asked him, saying, Why then do the scribes affirm, that Elias must come first? ¹¹ Then Jesus answering said unto them, Elias indeed cometh first, and will reform all things. ¹² But I say unto you, That Elias is already come, and they knew him not, but have done by him whatsoever they chose: even so also must the Son of man suffer by them. ¹³ Then understood the disciples that he spake to them of John the Baptist.

³⁷ And taking Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, he began to be deeply sorrowful, and to be overwhelmed with dejection. ³⁸ Then saith he to them. My soul is exceeding sorrowful even to death: abide here, and watch with me. ³⁹ And going a little farther, he fell on his face, praying, and saying, My Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless, not as I will, but as thou wilt.

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

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

² And six days after Jesus taketh with him Peter and James and John, only, and carrieth them up with him into an exceeding high mountain in great privacy; and was transfigured before them. ³ His garments became glistering, exceeding white, like snow; such as no fuller upon earth can whiten. ⁴ And there appeared to him Elias with Moses: and they were conversing with Jesus. ⁵ Then Peter addressing him, said unto him, Master, it is desirable for us to be here: and let us erect three tents, one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias. ⁶ For he knew not what he should say: for they were very much affrighted. ⁷ And there came a cloud overshadowing them: and there came a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: hear him. ⁸ And instantly looking round, they saw no man any longer with them, but Jesus only. ⁹ And as they were coming down from the mountain, he strictly charged them, that they should tell no man what they had seen, till after the Son of man should have arisen from the dead. ¹⁰ And they caught at that word, considering among themselves what this rising from the dead could mean. ¹¹ And they asked him, saying, Why say the scribes, that Elias must come first? ¹² Then he answering said unto them, Elias indeed cometh first, and will reform all things; and how speaks the scripture of the Son of man? That he must suffer many things, and be treated with contempt. ¹³ But I say unto you, that Elias is come, and they have done to him whatsoever they chose, as it is written of him.

³³ And he taketh Peter, and James, and John, with him; and he began to be filled with horrible dread, and to be sunk under dejection of spirit: ³⁴ and he saith to them, My soul is deeply afflicted even to death: abide here, and watch. ³⁵ And he went a little farther forward, and fell on the earth, and prayed, that if it were possible the hour might pass from him. ³⁶ And he said, Abba, Father, all things are possible to thee; remove this cup from me, nevertheless, not as I will, but as thou wilt.

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

¹² Now it came to pass in those days, that he went out into a mountain to pray and continued all night in an oratory of God.

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.

¹⁸ And it came to pass, as he had been praying in retirement, his disciples were with him, and he asked them, Who do the multitudes say that I am?

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

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

² And he was transformed before them; and his face shone as the sun, and his garments were white as the light.

² And six days after Jesus taketh with him Peter and James and John, only, and carrieth them up with him into an exceeding high mountain in great privacy; and was transfigured before them. ³ His garments became glistering, exceeding white, like snow; such as no fuller upon earth can whiten.

¹² Then after this, he was manifested under another form, to two of them as they were walking, and going into the country.

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

¹⁵ And fixing their eyes upon him, all who sat in the sanhedrim, beheld his face as the face of an angel.

⁷ But what things were gain to me, these have I counted loss for Christ. ⁸ Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the transcendently excellent knowledge of Jesus Christ my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them but as offals of ordure, that I may gain Christ,

¹⁶ For we have not followed artfully devised fables, when we made known to you the power and advent of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eye-witnesses of his majesty. ¹⁷ For he received from God the Father honour and glory, when such a voice was sent forth to him from the transcendently magnificent glory, This is my beloved son, in whom I am well pleased. ¹⁸ And this voice we heard coming out of heaven, when we were with him on the holy mountain.

¹³ and in the midst of the seven lamps one like unto a son of man, clothed to the very feet, and girded about the breasts with a golden zone; ¹⁴ his head and flowing locks white as a white fleece of wool, even as the snow; and his eyes as a flame of fire; ¹⁵ and his feet resembled molten brass, as though they glowed in the furnace; and his voice was as the roar of many waters. ¹⁶ And he held in his right hand seven stars; and out of his mouth proceeded a sharp two-edged sword; and his countenance was as when the sun shineth in his meridian lustre.

³ And behold, there appeared to them, Moses and Elias talking with him. ⁴ Then Peter addressing him, said to Jesus, Lord, It is well that we are here; if it please thee, we will make here three tents; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias.

⁴ And there appeared to him Elias with Moses: and they were conversing with Jesus. ⁵ Then Peter addressing him, said unto him, Master, it is desirable for us to be here: and let us erect three tents, one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias. ⁶ For he knew not what he should say: for they were very much affrighted.

¹⁷ And he shall go forth before him in the spirit and power of Elias, to convert the hearts of fathers with their children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to prepare a people ready for the Lord.

²⁷ And beginning from Moses and all the prophets, he explained to them in all the scriptures, the things relating to himself.

⁴⁴ And said unto them, These are the sayings which I spake unto you, when I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which are written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the Psalms, concerning me.

¹⁷ For the law was given by Moses, but the grace and the reality came by Jesus Christ.

²¹ But now distinct from the law the righteousness of God is manifest, receiving testimony from the law and the prophets; ²² the righteousness of God indeed by faith in Jesus Christ unto all and upon all that believe: for there is no difference: ²³ for all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

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

³ For this personage hath been counted worthy of higher glory than Moses, inasmuch as he who built it, hath greater honour than the house. ⁴ For every house is built by some person; but he who is the architect of all things is God. ⁵ And Moses indeed was faithful in all that house of his as a servant, to bear testimony of the things which should be after spoken; ⁶ but Christ as a son over his own house: whose house are we, if we hold firmly the confidence and glorying of hope stedfast unto the end.

¹⁷ Elias was a man of like feelings with us, and he prayed fervently that it should not rain; and there fell no rain on the earth during three years and six months. ¹⁸ And he prayed again, and the heavens gave rain, and the earth shot up its fruit.

²² saying, The Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders, and chief priests, and scribes, and be put to death, and on the third day rise again.

³² And he said to them, Go tell that fox, Behold, I cast out devils, and perform cures today and to-morrow, and on the third day I shall be perfected. ³³ But I must go on to-day and to-morrow, and the day following: for it is impossible that a prophet perish out of Jerusalem. ³⁴ O Jerusalem! Jerusalem! thou that killest the prophets, and stonest those who are sent unto thee; how often would I have collected thy children unto me, just as a hen gathereth her brood under her wings, and ye would not!

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

²³ but we preach Christ crucified, to the Jews indeed an offence, and to the Greeks folly; ²⁴ but to those who are called, whether Jews or Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.

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

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

⁴ When Christ shall appear, who is our life, then shall you also with him be manifested in glory.

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.

¹⁰ But the God of all grace, who hath called us to his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, when ye have suffered a little while, himself perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.

¹⁵ I will endeavour then that even after my decease, ye may always have wherewith to preserve the remembrance of these things.

⁶ And I beheld, and lo! in the midst of the throne, and of the four living beings, and in the midst of the presbyters, stood a lamb as just slaughtered, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of God that are sent forth into all the world: ⁷ and he came and took the book out of the right hand of him that was seated upon the throne. ⁸ And when he had taken the book, the four living beings and the four and twenty presbyters prostrated themselves before the lamb, having each harps, and vases of gold, full of perfumes smoaking, which are the prayers of the saints. ⁹ And they sung a new song, saying, Worthy art thou to take the book, and to open the seals thereon; because thou hast been slaughtered, and hast redeemed us for God by thy blood, out of every tribe, and tongue, and people, and nation; ¹⁰ and hast made us for our God kings and priests, and we shall reign upon the earth. ¹¹ And I looked, and heard the voice of many angels around the throne, and the living beings, and the presbyters, and their number was myriads of myriads and thousands of thousands, ¹² crying with a loud voice, Worthy is the slaughtered lamb to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and might, and honour, and glory, and blessing.

¹⁴ And I said to him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are persons who are come out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made their robes white in the blood of the Lamb.

⁴⁰ And he cometh to the disciples, and findeth them sleeping, and he saith to Peter, Is it so, that ye have not strength to watch with me one hour? ⁴¹ Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh weak. ⁴² Again the second time he went away, and prayed, saying, O my Father, If it be not possible, that this cup pass from me, but that I should drink it, thy will be done. ⁴³ And coming, he found them asleep again, for their eyes were weighed down.

⁴⁵ And when he rose up from prayer, on coming to his disciples, he found them sleeping from sorrow. ⁴⁶ And he said unto them, Why sleep ye? rise up, and pray, that ye enter not into temptation.

²⁴ Father, those whom thou hast given me, I will that where I am they may also be with me; that they may behold my glory, which thou gavest me: because thou hast loved me before the foundation of the world.

¹⁶ For we have not followed artfully devised fables, when we made known to you the power and advent of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eye-witnesses of his majesty.

² Beloved, now are we the children of God, and it is not yet evident what we shall be: but we know that when he shall appear, we shall be like him; because we shall see him as he is.

⁴ And they shall see his face; and his name shall be on their foreheads. ⁵ And there shall be no night there, and they have no need of a lamp, or the light of the sun; because the Lord God illumines them: and they shall reign for ever and ever.

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

³⁸ Then Jesus said unto them, Ye know not what ye ask: can ye drink of the cup which I drink? and be baptised with the baptism with which I am baptised?

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.

⁸ Philip saith to him, Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us.

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

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! ⁶ And the disciples hearing it, fell on their face, and were exceedingly affrighted. ⁷ And Jesus came and touched them, and said, Arise, be not affrighted.

⁷ And there came a cloud overshadowing them: and there came a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: hear him. ⁸ And instantly looking round, they saw no man any longer with them, but Jesus only.

¹⁷ And when I beheld him, I fell at his feet as dead: and he laid his right hand upon me, saying to me, Fear not; I am the first and the last,

¹⁷ and lo! a voice from the heavens, saying, This is my Son, the beloved, in whom is my delight.

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

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

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

²² For the Father never judgeth any man, but hath committed all judgment to the Son: ²³ in order that all may honour the Son, just as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son, doth not honour the Father who sent him. ²⁴ Verily, verily, I say unto you, That he that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment; but is passed from death into life.

²² For Moses truly said unto the fathers, "A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you from among your brethren, like myself; him shall ye hear in all things whatsoever he shall speak to you. ²³ But it shall come to pass, that every soul which will not hearken to that prophet, shall be utterly exterminated from amidst the people."

³ how shall we escape if we neglect so great salvation, which, commencing at the beginning to be spoken by the Lord, was confirmed unto us by those who had heard him;

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.

⁹ and complete himself, he became the author of eternal salvation to all who obey him;

²⁵ Beware that ye reject not him that speaketh: for if they escaped not, who rejected him, that upon earth spake by divine influence, much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from him who speaks from heaven: ²⁶ whose voice then shook the earth, but now he hath promised, saying, "Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also the heaven."

⁶ For he knew not what he should say: for they were very much affrighted.

⁹ And as they were coming down from the mountain, he strictly charged them, that they should tell no man what they had seen, till after the Son of man should have arisen from the dead. ¹⁰ And they caught at that word, considering among themselves what this rising from the dead could mean.

¹⁴ And when they were come to the multitude, there came to him a man, kneeling down to him, and saying, ¹⁵ Lord, have compassion on my son, for he is a lunatic, and suffers grievously; for oftentimes he falleth into the fire, and often into the water. ¹⁶ And I brought him to thy disciples, and they have not been able to cure him. ¹⁷ Then Jesus answering, said, O generation, faithless, and perverse! how long shall I be with you? how long shall I bear with you? bring him hither to me. ¹⁸ And Jesus rebuked him, and the devil came out of him; and the child was cured from that hour. ¹⁹ Then the disciples of Jesus coming privately, said, Why could not we cast it out? 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.

¹⁴ And when he came to his disciples, he saw a great crowd around them, and the scribes disputing with them. ¹⁵ And immediately all the multitude, when they beheld him, were struck with amazement, and coming to him, saluted him. ¹⁶ And he asked the scribes, What are ye disputing about among yourselves? ¹⁷ And one of the people addressing him, said, Master, I have brought my son to thee, who hath a dumb spirit; 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. ¹⁹ Then addressing him, he said, O faithless generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I bear with you? bring him to me. 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. ²⁷ But Jesus taking him by the hand, raised him up; and he arose. ²⁸ And when he was come into the house, the disciples asked him privately, Why could not we cast it out? ²⁹ And he said to them, this kind can be driven out by nothing but prayer and fasting.

²² And lo! a woman of Canaan coming out of these coasts, cried aloud, saying to him, Have mercy on me, Lord, Son of David: my daughter is a grievous demoniac.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

²⁶ And screaming, and convulsing him violently, it came out: and the child lay as if dead; insomuch that many said, He is dead.

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.

²⁹ For he had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man; for many times it had seized on him; and though under a guard, and bound with chains and fetters; yet bursting the bonds, he was driven by the devil into the desert places.

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:

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.

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.

¹ THEN calling his twelve disciples, he gave them power and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases.

¹⁷ Then the seventy returned with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject to us through thy name. ¹⁸ And he said unto them, I beheld Satan falling as lightning from heaven. ¹⁹ Behold, I give you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy; and nothing shalt in any wise hurt you.

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.

⁷ But when he saw many of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees coming to his baptism, he said to them, O ye broods of vipers! who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?

²⁸ Come to me, all who labour hard, and sustain heavy burdens, and I will give you relief.

³⁹ But he answered and said unto them, A wicked and adulterous generation seeketh a sign; and no sign shall be given it, but the sign of Jonah the prophet:

⁴⁵ Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first. So shall it also be with this wicked generation.

⁴ A wicked and adulterous generation seeketh a sign; and no sign shall be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonah. And he left them, and departed.

¹⁷ Then Jesus answering, said, O generation, faithless, and perverse! how long shall I be with you? how long shall I bear with you? bring him hither to me.

³⁶ Verily I say unto you, All these things shall come on this generation.

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

¹⁴ But when Jesus saw it, he felt indignation, and said to them, Permit little children to come to me, and hinder them not; for of such is the kingdom of heaven.

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

²⁵ And he said to them, Where is your faith? And they feared and were astonished, saying one to another, Well! what a man is this! that he commands even the winds and the sea, and they obey him.

⁹ Jesus saith to him, Am I all this while with you, and hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou, Shew us the Father?

²⁷ Afterwards he spake to Thomas, Bring hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and take thy hand, and thrust into my side: and be not incredulous, but a believer.

⁴⁰ And with many other words he testified and exhorted, saying, Be saved from this untoward generation.

¹⁸ And about the space of forty years he bore with their behaviour in the wilderness.

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?

⁹ when your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works during forty years. ¹⁰ Wherefore I was provoked against that generation, and said, They are always deluded in heart, and they have not known my ways: ¹¹ so I swore in my wrath that they shall not enter into my rest.

¹⁹ So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.

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.

¹¹ Let us then earnestly endeavour to enter into that rest, lest any person fall after the same example of unbelief.

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

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?

²⁶ And screaming, and convulsing him violently, it came out: and the child lay as if dead; insomuch that many said, He is dead. ²⁷ But Jesus taking him by the hand, raised him up; and he arose.

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

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.

⁴¹ Then he gave her his hand, and raised her up; and calling in the saints and the widows, presented her to them alive.

¹² Therefore be exceeding glad ye heavens, and ye who dwell in them. Wo to the inhabitants of the earth and the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, knowing that he hath but a short time.

⁵¹ And he went up to them into the vessel, and the wind ceased and they were beyond all imagination amazed in themselves, and lost in wonder.

³⁰ And going from thence, they passed through Galilee: and he would not have any person know it. ³¹ For he taught his disciples, and said unto them, The Son of man is delivered into the hands of men, and they shall kill him: and after being killed, the third day he shall rise again. ³² But they understood not the meaning of that declaration, and were afraid to ask him.

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.

⁹ For amazement had seized on him, and on all who were with him, at the draught of fishes which they had taken:

²⁶ And an extacy of admiration seized upon them all, and they glorified God; and they were filled with awe, saying, We have seen wondrously strange things to-day.

⁴³ And they were all struck with amazement at the mighty power of God. And while they were all wondering at the things which Jesus did, he said to his disciples, ⁴⁴ Keep ye these sayings in your ears; for the Son of man shall be betrayed into the hands of men. ⁴⁵ And they understood not that declaration, and it was hid from them, that they should not comprehend its meaning: and they were afraid to ask him concerning that saying.

¹⁰ and they took notice of him, that it was the same person who had sat for alms at the Beautiful gate of the temple: and they were filled with astonishment and amazed at what had happened to him. ¹¹ But as the lame man that was cured held fast Peter and John, all the people ran together unto them into the portico called Solomon's, in vast amazement. ¹² Then Peter observing it, addressed himself to the people, Ye men of Israel, why marvel ye at this? or why gaze ye upon us, as if by our own power or piety we had enabled this man to walk? ¹³ The God of Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, the God of our fathers, hath glorified his Son Jesus; whom ye delivered up, and denied him in the presence of Pilate, when he had determined to release him.

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

²² And as they were returning into Galilee, Jesus said unto them, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of men: ²³ and they shall kill him, and the third day he shall rise again. And they were grieved exceedingly.

¹⁸ Lo! we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of man will be betrayed to the chief priests and scribes, and they shall condemn him to death, ¹⁹ and shall deliver him to the Gentiles, to insult, and to scourge, and to crucify: and the third day he shall rise again.

³⁸ But the husbandmen, when they saw the son, said among themselves, This is the heir, come let us kill him, and let us seize on the inheritance. ³⁹ And they took him, and cast him out of the vineyard, and slew him.

² Ye know that after two days is the passover, and the Son of man is betrayed to be crucified.

³¹ And he began to teach them, that the Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders, and chief priests, and scribes, and be slain, and after three days rise again.

⁶⁶ And all who heard them laid them up in their hearts, saying, Well! what a child will this be! And the hand of the Lord was with him.

¹⁹ But Mary carefully preserved all these declarations, laying them together in her heart, in order to apprehend their meaning.

⁵¹ And he went down with them, and came to Nazareth, and was in subjection to them: though his mother preserved all these sayings in her heart.

³¹ Then taking aside the twelve, he said to them, Lo, we are going up to Jerusalem, and all things written by the prophets concerning the Son of man will be fulfilled.

⁶ he is not here; he is risen: remember how he spoke to you, while he was yet in Galilee, ⁷ saying, That the Son of man must be delivered up into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.

¹⁹ Jesus answered and said to them, Pull down this temple, and in three days I will rear it up again. ²⁰ Then said the Jews, This temple has been forty-six years in building, and canst thou rear it up in three days? ²¹ Now he had spoken with reference to the temple of his own body. ²² When therefore he was risen from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had spoken thus unto them; and they believed the scriptures, and the word which Jesus had spoken.

⁴ But these things have I spoken to you, that when the hour is come, ye may remember the same for I had told you. But these things I told you not at the beginning, because I was with you.

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.

²³ him, by the destined counsel and foreknowledge of God delivered up, ye have seized, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain:

¹³ The God of Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, the God of our fathers, hath glorified his Son Jesus; whom ye delivered up, and denied him in the presence of Pilate, when he had determined to release him. ¹⁴ But ye denied the Holy One and the Just, and besought that a man, a murderer, might as a favour be given unto you; ¹⁵ but ye slew the Author of life, whom God raised from the dead: of which we are witnesses.

³ that no man might be shaken by these tribulations; for ye yourselves know that thereunto we are appointed. ⁴ For when we were with you, we told you before that we were about to suffer tribulation; as also it came to pass, and ye know.

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.

² earnestly looking up to Jesus the author and the finisher of faith; who, for the joy set before him, endured the cross, despising shame, and hath sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. ³ Consider then attentively him that endured from sinners such opposition against himself, that ye be not wearied out, fainting in your souls. ⁴ As yet ye have not resisted unto blood, struggling against sin. ⁵ And have you forgotten the exhortation which is addressed to you, as children, "My son, count not lightly of the Lord's childlike correction, nor faint when under his rebuke:

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

¹⁶ And they talked the matter over among themselves, saying, This is because we have no loaves of bread. ¹⁷ And Jesus knowing it said unto them, Why reason ye together, because ye have no loaves? Do ye not yet consider, nor understand? Have ye your heart yet hardened? ¹⁸ Having eyes, do ye not see? and having ears, do ye not hear? and do ye not remember?

³² And he spake this saying openly. And Peter taking him aside, began to remonstrate with him. ³³ But he turned himself around, and seeing his disciples, he rebuked Peter, saying, Get thee behind me, Satan: for thou dost not relish the things which are of God, but those that are of men.

¹⁰ And they caught at that word, considering among themselves what this rising from the dead could mean.

³² But they understood not the meaning of that declaration, and were afraid to ask him.

⁵⁰ And they understood not the meaning of what he spake to them.

⁴⁶ Then a dispute sprang up among them, which of them should be the greatest.

³⁴ And they understood none of these things: and the saying was concealed from them, and they knew not the things which were spoken.

¹⁶ These things indeed knew not his disciples at first: but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were written of him, and that they had done these things unto him.

³⁴ Then the multitude answered him, We have heard out of the law, that the Messiah abideth for ever: and how sayest thou, That the Son of man must be lifted up? who is this Son of man?

⁵ Thomas saith to him, We know not whither thou art going; and how can we know the way?

¹⁷ Then said some of the disciples unto each other, What is this which he saith to us, A little while longer, and ye shall not see me: and again a little while, and ye shall see me: and this, because I am going to the Father? ¹⁸ They said therefore, What is this which he saith, This little while? we know not what he means.

¹⁴ But their understandings were darkened: for unto this day the same veil in their reading the old testament abideth unremoved; which veil is taken away by Christ. ¹⁵ For unto this day, when Moses is read, the veil is spread over their hearts. ¹⁶ Nevertheless, when Israel shall turn unto the Lord, the veil shall be taken away.

¹ AT that time came the disciples to Jesus, saying, Who is indeed the greatest in the kingdom of heaven? ² And Jesus calling a little boy, set him in the midst of them, ³ and said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be changed and be as little children, ye shall in no wise enter into the kingdom of heaven. ⁴ Whosoever therefore shall humble himself, as this little child, he shall be greatest in the kingdom of heaven. ⁵ And whosoever shall receive one such little child in my name, receiveth me.

²⁰ Then came to him the mother of Zebedee's children, with her sons, paying him obeisance, and petitioning a favour of him. ²¹ Then he said to her, What is thy wish? She saith unto him, Tell me that these my two sons shall sit, the one at thy right hand, and the other at thy left, in thy kingdom. ²² Then Jesus answering said, Ye know not what ye ask. Can ye drink of the cup that I am going to drink, and be baptised with the baptism with which I am baptised? They say unto him, We are able.

⁶ and love the principal couch at suppers, and the chief seats in the synagogues, ⁷ and salutations in the places of public concourse, and to be called of men, Rabbi, Rabbi.

³³ And he came to Capernaum: and when he was in the house, he asked them, What was the subject of your dispute among yourselves on the road? ³⁴ But they held their peace. For they had been disputing with each other on the road, which was the greatest. ³⁵ And when he was seated, he called the twelve, and saith to them, If any man desires to be the first, let him be last of all, and servant of all. ³⁶ And taking a little boy, he set him in the midst of them: and taking him in his arms, he said unto them, ³⁷ Whosoever shall receive one of such little children in my name, receiveth me: and whosoever receiveth me, receiveth not me merely, but him that sent me.

⁷ Then he spake to those who were invited, a parable, when he observed how they chose the principal seats; saying unto them, ⁸ When thou art invited of any person to a marriage entertainment, recline not on the principal couch; lest a more honourable personage than thyself be invited by him; ⁹ and he that invited thee and him, coming say to thee, Yield this person the place; and so thou shalt begin with shame to go down to the lowest place. ¹⁰ But when thou art invited, go and sit down in the lowest place; that when he who invited thee comes, he may say to thee, Friend, go up higher; then shalt thou have respect in the presence of those who are seated with thee. ¹¹ For every one who exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.

²⁴ Now it came to pass, that there was also a contention among them, even which of them should be accounted to be the greatest. ²⁵ And he said to them, The kings of the Gentiles lord it over them; and they who exercise authority over them are called benefactors. ²⁶ But ye shall not act thus: but the superior among you, let him be as the junior; and he that presideth, as he that serveth. ²⁷ For which is the greater, he that sitteth at table, or he that waits? is not he that sitteth at table? but I am in the midst of you as he that serveth.

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.

¹⁰ In brotherly affection be tenderly attached to each other; in honour preferring one another:

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

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.

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

¹⁴ Do all things without murmurings or disputes:

⁹ I wrote unto the church: but Diotrephes, who affects pre-eminence over them, receiveth us not.

⁴ And Jesus, seeing their thoughts, said, wherefore do ye imagine evil things in your hearts?

² And Jesus calling a little boy, set him in the midst of them, ³ and said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be changed and be as little children, ye shall in no wise enter into the kingdom of heaven. ⁴ Whosoever therefore shall humble himself, as this little child, he shall be greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

¹³ Then were brought to him little children, that he should lay his hands upon them, and pray [for them]: but the disciples rebuked them. ¹⁴ Then said Jesus, Permit little children, and hinder them not from coming to me; for of such is the kingdom of heaven. ¹⁵ And when he had laid his hands upon them, he departed thence.

¹⁴ But when Jesus saw it, he felt indignation, and said to them, Permit little children to come to me, and hinder them not; for of such is the kingdom of heaven. ¹⁵ Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall in nowise enter into it.

²² And Jesus knowing their reasoning, in reply said to them, Why do ye reason in your hearts?

³⁹ And when the Pharisee who had invited him saw it, he said within himself, If this man were a prophet, he would know who and what kind of a woman this is that toucheth him; for she is a notorious sinner. ⁴⁰ And Jesus addressing himself to him said, Simon, I have somewhat to say to thee. And he said, Master, speak freely.

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

³⁰ Now we know that thou knowest all things, and needest not that any person should ask thee: by this we believe that thou hast come forth from God.

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

²⁰ Brethren, be not children in your minds: though in naughtiness be ye children, but in your minds be men complete.

¹³ Even creation is not invisible before him, but all things are naked, and fully displayed before his eyes, to whom we must give our account.

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:

²³ And I will slay her children by death; and all the churches shall know that I am he who searcheth the reins and the hearts: and I will give to you, even to every one, according to your works.

⁴⁰ He that receiveth you receiveth me, and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me. ⁴¹ He that receiveth a prophet in the name of a prophet, shall receive the reward of a prophet; and he that receiveth a righteous man in the name of a righteous man, shall receive the reward of a righteous man. ⁴² And whosoever shall give to one of these little ones, if but a cup of cold water to drink, in the name of a disciple, verily I say unto you, he shall in no wise lose his reward.

⁵ And whosoever shall receive one such little child in my name, receiveth me. ⁶ And whosoever shall cause one of these little ones, who believe in me, to stumble, it were better for him that a millstone was hung at his neck, and that he was sunk in the depth of the sea.

¹⁰ See that ye despise not one of these little ones, for I say unto you, That their angels in heaven continually behold the face of my Father who is in heaven.

¹⁴ Even so it is not the will of your Father who is in heaven, that one of these little ones perish.

²⁸ Then said Jesus unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye who have followed me in the regeneration, when the Son of man shall sit on the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

¹¹ But he who is greatest among you shall be your servant. ¹² For whosoever exalteth himself shall be abased; and whosoever abaseth himself shall be exalted.

⁴⁰ And the king answering shall say to them, Verily I tell you, for as much as ye have done it to one of these my brethren, the very least of them, ye have done it unto me.

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.

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

¹¹ For every one who exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.

²⁶ But ye shall not act thus: but the superior among you, let him be as the junior; and he that presideth, as he that serveth.

³⁰ that ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and be seated on thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

⁴⁴ Then Jesus cried and said, He that believeth on me, believeth not on me, but on him that sent me. ⁴⁵ And he that seeth me, seeth him that sent me.

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

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.

⁸ Therefore he that despiseth, despiseth not man, but God, who hath also given unto us his Holy Spirit.

³ not as domineering over your allotted congregations, but as being examples of the flock. ⁴ And when the arch Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that will never fade away.

⁶ Humble yourselves therefore beneath the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due season:

²¹ He that overcometh, I will give to him to sit on my throne, as I also have overcome, and have sat down with my Father on his throne.

¹⁴ And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.

³⁸ Then John addressed him, saying, Master, we saw a person in thy name casting out devils, who followeth us not: and we forbad him, because he did not follow us. ³⁹ Then said Jesus, Forbid him not: for there is no man who shall perform a miracle in my name, who will be able presently after to speak evil of me. ⁴⁰ For he that is not against us, is for us.

¹³ And they brought unto him little children, that he should touch them: but his disciples rebuked those who brought them. ¹⁴ But when Jesus saw it, he felt indignation, and said to them, Permit little children to come to me, and hinder them not; for of such is the kingdom of heaven.

¹⁸ So calling them in, they charged them not to speak in any manner, nor to teach, in the name of Jesus. ¹⁹ But Peter and John, answering them, said, If it be right in the sight of God to obey you rather than God, be yourselves the judges.

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

¹⁶ forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles, that they might be saved, to fill up the measure of their iniquities always: but wrath is coming upon them to the extremity.

⁹ I wrote unto the church: but Diotrephes, who affects pre-eminence over them, receiveth us not. ¹⁰ Therefore if I come I will remember his works which he doth, with wicked words prating against us; and not content with these things, neither doth he himself receive the brethren, and those who are willing he hindereth, and casteth them out of the church.

³⁰ He that is not with me, is against me; and he that associates not with me, scattereth abroad.

²⁸ He saith unto them, Some man, an enemy, hath done this. Then the servants said to him, Wilt thou that we go and weed them out? ²⁹ he replied, No; lest perhaps in weeding out the zizane, we root up the wheat with them. ³⁰ Let them both grow together till the harvest: and at the harvest-time I will say to the reapers, Gather out first the zizane, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.

²⁴ And when they came to Capernaum, they who receive the tax of two drachmas came to Peter, and said, Doth not your master pay tribute?

²⁶ Peter saith to him, From aliens. Jesus saith unto him, In that case then the children are free.

⁴¹ For whosoever shall give you even a cup of water to drink in my name, because ye belong to the Messiah, verily I say unto you, he shall in no wise lose his reward.

²³ He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me, scattereth abroad.

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.

³ Wherefore I advertise you, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God, call Jesus anathema: and no man can say, Lord Jesus, but by the Holy Ghost.

¹⁵ Some indeed do it in a spirit of envy and strife; but some also preach Christ with cordial good-will: ¹⁶ the one indeed preach Christ out of contention, not with purity of intention, thinking to add affliction to my bonds: ¹⁷ but the others of love, knowing that I am exposed for the defence of the gospel. ¹⁸ What then? if Christ is preached in whatever manner it be, whether in pretext or reality, even in this do I rejoice, yea, and will rejoice.

¹⁹ Then the Lord, after having thus spoken to them, was taken up into heaven, and sat down at the right hand of God.

⁵⁰ But I have a baptism to be baptised with; and how am I distressed in spirit till it is finished!

²² And he passed through the cities and villages, teaching, and making his way towards Jerusalem.

¹¹ And it came to pass, as he was going towards Jerusalem, he passed also through the midst of Samaria and Galilee.

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

²⁸ And having thus spoken, he proceeded forward, going up to Jerusalem.

⁵¹ And it came to pass, as he pronounced the benediction upon them, he was parted from them, and taken up into heaven.

⁶² What then if ye see the Son of man ascending where he was formerly?

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

⁵ But now I am going away to him that sent me; and none of you asketh me, Whither art thou going?

²⁸ I came out from the Father, and am come into the world: again, I am leaving the world, and going to the Father.

¹¹ And now no longer am I in this world, but these are in the world, and I am coming to thee. Holy Father! preserve them for thy name's sake whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are.

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

⁹ And as he was speaking these things, while they were looking upon him, he was taken up; and a cloud enveloping him hid him from their eyes.

²² And now behold I am going, bound by the Spirit, unto Jerusalem, not knowing what things shall there befal me:

¹¹ And coming to us, he took Paul's girdle, and binding both his own hands and feet together, said, Thus saith the Holy Ghost, The man, whose girdle this is, shall the Jews bind in like manner at Jerusalem, and shall deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles. ¹² Then when we heard these things, both we and all who were in the place, besought him not to go up to Jerusalem. ¹³ But Paul replied, Why do ye thus—weeping and breaking my heart? for I am ready not only to be bound, but to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus. ¹⁴ And when he could not be persuaded, we desisted, saying, The will of the Lord be done.

²⁰ which he displayed in Christ when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly regions,

⁸ Wherefore the Scripture saith, "When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men." ⁹ Now this, that he ascended, what does it imply? but that he also first descended into the more internal parts of the earth? ¹⁰ He that descended is the same also, who ascended above all the heavens, that he might fill all things. ¹¹ And he himself appointed, some indeed apostles, and some prophets; and others preachers of the Gospel; and others pastors and teachers;

¹⁴ I press towards the mark for the prize of the divine calling from on high in Christ Jesus.

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.

²⁰ into which the forerunner for us is entered, even Jesus, made after the order of Melchisedec an high-priest for ever.

² earnestly looking up to Jesus the author and the finisher of faith; who, for the joy set before him, endured the cross, despising shame, and hath sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

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

⁵ These twelve did Jesus send forth, commanding them, saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter not:

²⁷ For this is he of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee.

³³ But a certain Samaritan travelling, came by him, and seeing him, was moved with compassion,

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

⁴⁸ Then answered the Jews, and said to him, Do we not rightly affirm, that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a devil?

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

⁴⁰ So on this the Samaritans came to him, and besought him to abide with them: and he tarried there two days. ⁴¹ And many more believed because of his own word; ⁴² and said to the woman, Now we believe, not merely on account of thy relation: for we ourselves have heard, and know that this is of a certainty the Saviour of the world, the Messiah.

²⁹ And as to the present transactions, Lord, look upon their threatnings: and grant thy servants power with all boldness to speak thy word, ³⁰ by stretching out thy hand for healing; and that signs and miracles may be performed by the name of thy holy child Jesus.

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.

¹⁴ But if ye have bitter envy and contention in your heart, boast not, and lie not against the truth. ¹⁵ This is not the wisdom which cometh from above, but is earthly, sensual, diabolical. ¹⁶ For where envy and contention dwell, there is tumult and every vile deed. ¹⁷ But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, meek, easily persuadable, full of mercy and good fruits, impartial, and void of dissimulation. ¹⁸ But the fruit of righteousness in peace is sown for those who are peacemakers.

³ And I saw one of his heads as if wounded unto death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the earth wondered after the beast.

²³ Then turning from him, he said unto Peter, Get thee behind me Satan! thou art an offence to me: for thou dost not relish the things of God, but those of men.

³³ Then Peter, taking up the word, said to him, Though all should be offended at thee, yet will I never be offended.

⁴¹ Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh weak.

⁵¹ And behold, one of those who were with Jesus stretching out his hand, drew his sword, and striking at a servant of the high-priest, cut off his ear.

⁹ of sin first, because they believe not in me;

³ Then said Paul unto him, God is ready to smite thee, thou whited wall: for art thou sitting to judge me according to the law, and violating that law, commandest me to be smitten? ⁴ Then they who stood by, said, Revilest thou God's high-priest? ⁵ And Paul said, I had not observed, brethren, that he was high-priest: for it is written, "Thou shalt not speak evil of the ruler of thy people."

⁹ I indeed then thought in myself, that I ought to do many things in opposition to the name of Jesus the Nazarean. ¹⁰ Which also I did at Jerusalem: and many of the saints did I shut up in prisons, having received authority from the chief priests; and when they were killed, I gave my vote against them. ¹¹ And in every synagogue oftentimes punishing them, I compelled them to blaspheme; and being exceedingly maddened with rage against them, I persecuted them even to the cities that are without.

¹⁰ Out of the same mouth goeth forth blessing and cursing. These things, my brethren, ought not to be thus.

⁹ not returning evil for evil, or railing for railing; but, contrariwise, wishing men every blessing; knowing that hereunto ye have been called, that ye should inherit the [divine] benediction.

¹⁹ As many as I love, I rebuke and correct: be zealous then, and repent.

³⁹ but I say unto you, Resist not an injurious act; but whosoever shall smite thee on the right cheek, turn to him also the other.

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

²⁷ But I say to you who hear, Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you; ²⁸ bless those who curse you, and pray for those who wantonly insult you. ²⁹ To him that smiteth thee on the cheek, offer the other also; and from him who would take from thee thy cloak, withhold not thy coat also. ³⁰ And give to every one that asketh thee; and from him who would take thy goods, demand them not again. ³¹ And as ye would that men should do unto you, do ye also to them in like manner.

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

⁵¹ Then Jesus, addressing them, said, Permit me thus far: and touching his ear, he healed him.

³⁴ And Jesus said, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. Then dividing his garments, they cast the lot.

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

¹⁰ The thief cometh not but to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.

⁴⁷ And if any man, hearing my words, believeth not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.

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

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.

²¹ For hereunto have ye been called, because Christ also hath suffered for you, leaving you a pattern, that ye should follow his steps; ²² who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth: ²³ who, when reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he used no menaces; but referred himself to him who judgeth righteously:

¹⁹ And a certain scribe came, and said unto him, Master, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest. ²⁰ And Jesus said unto him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where he can lay his head. ²¹ And another of his disciples said unto him, Permit me first to go and bury my father. ²² And Jesus said unto him, Follow me; and let the dead bury their own dead.

⁵¹ And it came to pass, as the days hastened to their period when he should be received up [to glory], that he resolutely set his face to go to Jerusalem;

⁵⁷ And it came to pass, as they were walking on the road, a certain person said to him, Lord, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest. ⁵⁸ And Jesus Said to him, The foxes have holts, and the birds of the air, nests, but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head. ⁵⁹ And he said to another, Follow me. And he said, Lord, permit me first to return home, and put my father in his grave. ⁶⁰ And Jesus said unto him, Leave the dead to bury their own dead, but go thou, preach the kingdom of God.

³⁷ Peter saith to him, Lord, why cannot I follow thee now? I will lay down my life for thee.

²⁰ And Jesus said unto him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where he can lay his head.

²⁶ If any man cometh after me, and hateth not father, and mother, and wife and children, and brothers, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple. ²⁷ And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, he cannot be my disciple. ²⁸ For what man of you designing to erect a tower, doth not first sitting down calculate the expence, if he have sufficient to complete the work? ²⁹ lest haply, after having laid the foundation, and being unable to finish it, all who look upon it begin to ridicule him, ³⁰ saying, This man began to build, and was not able to finish. ³¹ Or what king, going forth to encounter another king in battle, doth not sit down first, and consult if he is able with ten thousand men to meet him who is coming against him with twenty thousand? ³² and if he be not, whilst he is still at a distance, he sendeth an embassy, and desires terms of peace. ³³ So then, every one of you who will not part with all his possessions, cannot be my disciple.

²² Then Jesus hearing this, said to him, Yet one thing thou lackest: sell all whatsoever thou hast, and distribute to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me. ²³ But he, on hearing these things, was exceeding sorrowful: for he was very rich.

⁶⁰ Many therefore of his disciples, who heard him, said, Difficult is this discourse, who is able to fathom it? ⁶¹ Then Jesus, conscious in himself that his disciples murmured concerning this discourse, said unto them, Doth this stumble you? ⁶² What then if ye see the Son of man ascending where he was formerly? ⁶³ The Spirit is the life-giving power; the flesh contributeth nothing: the declarations which I make to you, they are spirit, and they are life. ⁶⁴ But there are some of you who do not believe. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were who did not believe, and who the person was that should betray him. ⁶⁵ And he said, Therefore have I informed you, That no man can come to me, except it be given him of my Father. ⁶⁶ From that [discourse] many of his disciples went away back, and no more followed him about.

⁹ For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that for your sake he became poor though he was rich, that ye by his poverty should be made rich.

⁵ Hear me, my beloved brethren. Hath not God elected the poor of this world to be rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which God hath promised to those who love him;

¹⁹ And he saith to them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men. ²⁰ Then immediately quitting their nets they followed him. ²¹ And going on from thence, he saw two other brothers, James son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in a boat with Zebedee their father, mending their nets; and he called them. ²² Then they instantly quitting the ship and their father, followed him.

³³ But seek ye, in the first place, the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be given you over.

⁹ And Jesus passing from thence, saw a man sitting at the custom house, called Matthew: and saith unto him, Follow me. And he arose and followed him.

²⁴ Then said Jesus to his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

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

¹⁵ When therefore they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these? He saith to him, Yes, Lord! thou knowest that I love thee. He saith to him, Feed my lambs. ¹⁶ He saith to him again the second time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? He saith to him, Yes, Lord! thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith unto him, Feed my sheep. ¹⁷ He saith to him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said to him, Lord, thou knowest all things, thou knowest that I love thee! Jesus saith to him, Feed my sheep.

¹⁶ For though I preach the gospel, I have nothing to glory of: for necessity is laid upon me, yea verily woe is to me if I preach not the gospel.

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. ¹⁷ Wherefore if any person be in Christ, he is a new creation: the old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. ¹⁸ But all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;

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

⁵ though we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved,)

⁶ But she who lives voluptuously is dead, though she liveth.

³ Thou therefore endure hardships, as a brave soldier of Jesus Christ. ⁴ No man who enters the army involves himself with secular affairs; that he may please the person who hath enlisted him.

⁵ But watch thou in all things, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, fully discharge thy ministry.

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

³⁷ He that loveth father or mother more than me, is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me, is not worthy of me. ³⁸ And he that taketh not up his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me.

¹⁸ And they all began with one voice to frame excuses. The first said to him, I have bought a field, and I must of necessity go and survey it: I pray thee hold me excused. ¹⁹ And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and am going to make a trial of them: I pray thee accept my excuse. ²⁰ And another said, I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come.

²⁶ If any man cometh after me, and hateth not father, and mother, and wife and children, and brothers, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.

³¹ In that day, let not the man who is upon the roof, and his goods in the house, go down to carry them away: and he that is in the field, in like manner, let him not return for any things behind him. ³² Remember Lot's wife.

³⁷ Now Barnabas had resolved to take with him John, whose surname is Mark. ³⁸ But Paul did not think him a fit person to take with them, who had withdrawn from them from Pamphylia, and no longer went with them to the service.

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,

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

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

⁶ But let him ask in faith, harbouring no doubt: for he who is doubtful is like a wave of the sea, driven by the wind, and in constant agitation. ⁷ For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing from the Lord. ⁸ A double-minded man is unsteady in all his ways.

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. ²¹ For it had been better for them never to have been acquainted with the way of righteousness, than, after knowing it, to have turned aside from the holy commandment delivered unto them. 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.
