¹⁷ And coming down with them, he stood on a level spot: and the crowd of his disciples, and a vast multitude of people from all Judea and Jerusalem, and the sea coast of Tyre and Sidon, who came to hear him, and to be healed of their diseases;

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

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

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

³⁹ Then sought they again to apprehend him and he departed out of their reach, ⁴⁰ and went again beyond Jordan, unto the place where John at first baptised; and there he abode. ⁴¹ And many came to him, and said, That John indeed performed no miracle: but all things whatsoever John spake of this man were true.

³⁰ And Jesus immediately perceiving in himself that miraculous power had gone forth from him, turning about in the crowd, said, Who touched my garments?

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.

²³ And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every disease and every malady among the people.

²⁰ And, behold, a woman, who had an haemorrage twelve years, came behind, and touched the fringe of his garment: ²¹ for she said within herself, If I only touch his garment, I shall be cured.

¹⁴ And when Jesus was come forth, he saw a great multitude, and was moved with compassion towards them, and healed their sick.

³⁶ and they besought him that they might only touch the fringe of his garment: and as many as touched it were cured.

²⁷ when she heard of Jesus, came in the crowd behind him, and touched his garment: ²⁸ for she said, If I but touch his clothes, I shall recover. ²⁹ And instantly the fountain of her blood was dried up, and she felt in her body that she was cured of her afflictive disease.

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

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

² And the servant of a certain centurion, who was very valuable to him, being seized with an illness, was ready to die.

¹¹ And God wrought by the hands of Paul extraordinary miracles; ¹² so that even from his skin there were brought handkerchiefs and aprons unto the diseased, and their disorders were chased from them, and the evil spirits came out of them.

⁶ and saith to him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, "that he shall give his angels a charge concerning thee: and in their hands shall they hold thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone."

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

³¹ Then the devils besought him, saying, If thou cast us out, permit us to go into the herd of swine.

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

¹ THE beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God;

²³ And there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit; and he cried out, ²⁴ saying, Let us alone; what have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art, the Holy One of God.

⁵ and continually night and day he was in the mountains, and in the tombs, screaming, and cutting himself with stones. ⁶ But when he saw Jesus afar off, he ran and worshipped him,

⁴¹ And devils also went out of many, crying out, and saying, Thou art the Messiah the Son of God. And rebuking them, he suffered them not to speak: for they knew that he was the Messiah.

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

¹⁷ she following Paul and us, cried out, saying, These men are the servants of the most high God, who preach to you the way of salvation.

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. ¹⁷ And this was known to all, both Jews and Greeks, who dwelt at Ephesus: and fear fell on them all, and they magnified the name of the Lord.

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

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

¹⁶ and charged them that they should not make him known.

²⁵ And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Be silent, and come out of him.

³⁴ and he healed many who were grievously afflicted with a variety of diseases; and he cast out many devils; and suffered not the devils to speak for they knew him.

¹⁸ And this she did for several days. Then Paul was wearied out, and turning, said to the spirit, I command thee in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And he came out that very hour.

¹ THEN seeing the multitudes, he went up into the mountain: and seating himself, his disciples came to him:

¹ AND having called unto him his twelve disciples, he gave them authority over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to cure every disease, and every malady. ² Now these are the names of the twelve apostles; The first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James son of Zebedee, and John his brother; ³ Philip, and Bartholomew; Thomas, and Matthew the tax-gatherer; James son of Alpheus, and Lebbeus, whose surname is Thaddeus; ⁴ Simon the Cananite, and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him.

⁷ And called the twelve, and began to send them two and two, and gave them authority over unclean spirits.

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. ¹³ And when it was day, he called his disciples to him; and elected from them twelve, whom he named Apostles: ¹⁴ Simon, whom he also called Peter, and Andrew his brother, James and John, Philip and Bartholomew, ¹⁵ Matthew and Thomas, James son of Alpheus, and Simon called the Zealous, ¹⁶ Jude the brother of James, and Judas Iscariot, who also was the traitor.

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

¹ THEN calling his twelve disciples, he gave them power and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases. ² And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick. ³ And he said to them, Take nothing for the journey, neither staffs, nor satchel, nor bread, nor money, nor have two coats each. ⁴ And into whatsoever house ye enter, there abide, and thence go out. ⁵ And whosoever shall not receive you, when ye go out of that city, shake off the dust from your feet, for a testimony against them. ⁶ And they went forth, and passed through the villages, preaching the gospel, and performing cures everywhere.

¹ THEN after these things the Lord appointed other seventy persons also, and sent them, two and two before his face, into every city and place, whither he himself designed to go. ² He said therefore unto them, The harvest indeed is plenteous, but the labourers few: pray ye therefore to the Lord of the harvest, that he would send out labourers into his harvest. ³ Go forth! behold, I send you out as lambs in the midst of wolves. ⁴ Carry neither purse, nor scrip, nor sandals: and stay to salute no man on the road. ⁵ And into whatever house ye enter, first say, Peace be to this house. ⁶ And if the Son of peace be there, your peace shall rest upon it; but if not, it shall return back to you again. ⁷ And in the same family abide, eating and drinking such as they have: for the labourer is worthy of his hire. Go not about from house to house. ⁸ And into whatsoever city ye enter, and they welcome you, eat whatever is set before you: ⁹ and heal the sick that are therein, and say unto them, The kingdom of God is come nigh unto you. ¹⁰ And into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you not, go out into the streets of it, and say, ¹¹ Even the dust of your city, which sticks to us, we shake off against you: nevertheless this know, that the kingdom of God is come near to you.

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

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

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

²⁴ And joining in prayer, they said, Do thou, O Lord, who knowest the hearts of all men, point out the one of these two which thou hast chosen, ²⁵ to take a part in this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas by transgression fell, to go to his own place.

¹ PAUL the apostle (not [sent] from men, nor by man, but by Jesus Christ, and our Father who raised him from the dead),

¹⁵ But when it pleased God, who selected me from my mother's womb, and called me by his grace, ¹⁶ to reveal his Son in me, that I might preach the glad tidings of him to the nations, immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood, ¹⁷ nor went up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before me; but I went away into Arabia, and returned again unto Damascus. ¹⁸ Afterwards at the expiration of three years I went up unto Jerusalem to pay a visit to Peter, and I abode with him fifteen days. ¹⁹ But I saw no other of the apostles except James, the Lord's brother. ²⁰ Now respecting the things which I write unto you, behold, in the presence of God, I lie not.

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. ¹⁸ And I tell thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock will I build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.

¹⁶ And as he walked near the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew his brother casting a net into the sea; for they were fishermen.

⁴² And he brought him to Jesus. Then Jesus looking on him, said, Thou art Simon the son of Jonas: thou shalt be called Cephas, which, interpreted [in Greek], is Petros, a Rock.

¹³ And when they had arrived, they went up to an upper room, where abode Peter, and James, and John, and Andrew, Philip, and Thomas, Bartholomew, and Matthew, James son of Alpheus, and Simon the zealous, and Jude brother to James.

¹² Now this I observe, that one and another of you saith, I am indeed of Paul; but I of Apollos; but I of Cephas; but I am of Christ.

²² whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all things are your's;

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

⁷ but contrariwise when they saw that I was entrusted with the gospel to the uncircumcision, as Peter was to the circumcision: ⁸ (for he that wrought powerfully by Peter in his apostolic mission to the circumcision, wrought mightily also by me among the Gentiles.) ⁹ And when they knew the grace which was bestowed on me, James and Cephas and John, who appeared to be the pillars [of the church], gave unto me and Barnabas the right hand of fellowship, that we should go unto the Gentiles, and they to the circumcision:

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

¹⁹ And going from thence a little farther, he saw James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, and others in the vessel mending the nets. ²⁰ And immediately he called them: and leaving their father Zebedee in the vessel with the hirelings, they went after him.

³⁷ And he permitted no person to follow him, but Peter, and James, and John a brother of James.

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.

³⁵ And James and John the sons of Zebedee came to him, saying, Master, we desire that thou shouldst do for us whatsoever we request.

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:

² Simon Peter, and Thomas called Didymus, the twin, and Nathaniel who was of Cana of Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and two others of the disciples were together.

²⁰ Now Peter, turning about, saw the disciple whom Jesus loved following; who also at the supper reclined on his bosom, and said, Lord, which is the person who betrayeth thee? ²¹ Peter looking at him, saith to Jesus, Lord, and what will become of this man? ²² Jesus saith to him, If I will that he abide till I come, what is that to thee? follow thou me. 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? ²⁴ This is the disciple who is testifing of these things, and hath written these things: and we know that his testimony is true. ²⁵ And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if every particular was written, I am of opinion that the world itself would not be capable of retaining the books which should be written. Amen.

¹ NOW at that time Herod the king stretched forth his hand to treat cruelly certain persons belonging to the church.

¹² For the word of God is quickening, and energetic, and sharper than every two-edged sword, and piercing through and through, so as to divide both soul and spirit, both joints and spinal marrow, and critically judges the thoughts and intents of the heart.

¹¹ And he said to me, Thou must prophesy again before many people, and nations, and tongues, and monarchs.

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.

⁵⁵ Is not this the carpenter's son? is not his mother called Mary? his brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas?

¹⁴ And passing by, he saw Levi the son of Alpheus sitting at the custom-house, and he saith to him, Follow me. And he arose and followed him

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

²⁷ And after these things he went out, and saw a farmer of the taxes, named Levi, sitting at the custom-house: and he said unto him, Follow me. ²⁸ And leaving all behind, he rose, and followed him. ²⁹ And Levi made him a great entertainment at his house and there was a great number of publicans and others, sitting at table with them.

⁴⁰ One of the two, who had heard from John mention of Jesus, and had followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother.

⁴³ The next day Jesus resolved to go into Galilee, and he findeth Philip, and saith to him, Follow me. ⁴⁴ Now Philip was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter. ⁴⁵ Philip findeth Nathaniel, and saith to him, We have found him whom Moses in the law has described, and the prophets, Jesus the son of Joseph, who is of Nazareth.

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,)

¹⁶ Then said Thomas, (called Didymus, the twin,) to his fellow-disciples, Let us go too, that we may die with him.

²¹ these then came to Philip, who was of Bethsaida, of Galilee, and they asked him, saying, Sir, we wish to see Jesus. ²² Philip comes and speaks to Andrew: and again Andrew and Philip tell Jesus.

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

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

²⁴ Now Thomas, one of the twelve, who is called Didymus, the twin, was not with them when Jesus came. ²⁵ Then the other disciples said to him, We have seen the Lord. But he said to them, Except I should see in his hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and thrust my hand into his side, I shall never believe it. ²⁶ And eight days after, his disciples were again within, and Thomas with them: Jesus cometh, though the doors were fastened, and stood in the midst, and said, Peace be unto you. 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. ²⁸ And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God! ²⁹ Jesus saith to him, Because thou hast seen me, Thomas, hast thou believed: blessed are they who though they have not seen me, yet have believed.

¹³ Now when they ceased speaking, James replied, saying, Men and brethren, hear me:

¹⁸ And on the morrow Paul went in with us unto James: and all the presbyters were present.

⁷ Afterwards he was seen of James; then of all the apostles.

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

⁹ And when they knew the grace which was bestowed on me, James and Cephas and John, who appeared to be the pillars [of the church], gave unto me and Barnabas the right hand of fellowship, that we should go unto the Gentiles, and they to the circumcision:

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

¹ JUDE a servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to those who are sanctified in God the Father, and preserved by Jesus Christ, the called:

¹⁴ Then went one of the twelve, called Judas Iscariot, to the chief priests, ¹⁵ and said, What will ye give me, and I will deliver him unto you? Then they placed before him thirty pieces of silver. ¹⁶ And from that time he sought an opportunity to deliver him up to them.

⁴⁷ And while he was yet speaking, behold, Judas one of the twelve came, and with him a great multitude with swords and staves, from the chief priests and elders of the people.

³ Then Judas who betrayed him, seeing that he was condemned, repenting, carried back the thirty silver pieces to the chief priests and the elders, ⁴ saying, I have sinned, in betraying innocent blood. But they said, What is that to us? see thou to that. ⁵ And throwing down the silver pieces in the temple, he departed; and going out, hanged himself.

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.

⁷¹ Now he spake of Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon: for this man was ready to betray him, though he was one of the twelve.

⁴ Then said one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon, who was preparing to betray him, ⁵ Wherefore was not this aromatic ointment sold for three hundred denarii, and given to the poor? ⁶ Now he said this, not that he cared for the poor; but because he was a thief, and kept the purse, and carried the money put therein.

² And supper being served, (the devil having now injected into the heart of Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon, that he should betray him;)

²⁶ Jesus answered, It is he to whom I shall give this morsel of bread, when I have dipped it. And dipping the morsel of bread, he gave it unto Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon. ²⁷ And after the sop, then entered Satan into him. Jesus saith to him, What thou doest, do quickly. ²⁸ Now none of those who sat at table knew wherefore he had spoken to him. ²⁹ For some supposed, as Judas kept the purse, that Jesus was saying to him, Buy what we need for the feast; or, that he should give something to the poor. ³⁰ Having then received the sop, he went out immediately: now it was night.

¹⁶ Men and brethren, it must needs be that this scripture should be fulfilled, which the Holy Ghost delivered before by the mouth of David concerning Judas, who was the conductor of those who seized on Jesus. ¹⁷ For he was reckoned of our number, and had obtained an appointment to this ministry. 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. ¹⁹ And it was a fact known to all who dwelt at Jerusalem; so that this field is called in their own dialect, Aceldama, that is, The field of blood. ²⁰ For it is written in the book of Psalms, Let his habitation be desolate, and let there be no man to dwell in it: and his office, as bishop, let another take. ²¹ Wherefore from among the men who have associated with us always during the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us, ²² beginning from his baptism by John, until the day in which he was taken up from us, must there be chosen with us a witness of his resurrection, even one of these. ²³ So they appointed two persons, Joseph called Barsabas, whose sirname was Justus, and Matthias.

⁷ And Jesus retired with his disciples to the sea side; and a great multitude from Galilee followed him, and from Judea,

⁹ And he spoke to his disciples that a little boat should be ready for him, because of the crowd, lest they should press upon him:

³¹ And he said unto them, Come ye yourselves apart into a desert place, and repose a little while: for there were multitudes coming and going, so that they had not even time to eat.

¹⁷ And when he was come into the house from the multitude, his disciples asked him concerning the parable.

²⁸ And when he was come into the house, the disciples asked him privately, Why could not we cast it out?

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

³¹ Then came his brethren and his mother, and standing without sent unto him, calling aloud for him.

³ Then said his disciples to him, Depart hence, and go into Judea, that thy disciples also may see thy works which thou doest. ⁴ For no man doeth any thing in secret, yet seeketh himself to appear publicly: if thou doest these things, exhibit thyself to the world. ⁵ For even his own brethren did not believe on him. ⁶ Jesus therefore saith to them, My proper time is not yet come: but your time is always ready. ⁷ The world cannot hate you, but me it hateth, because I testify of it, that its deeds are evil. ⁸ Go ye up to this feast: for I am not yet going up to this feast, because my fixed time is not yet arrived. ⁹ Thus speaking to them then, he continued in Galilee. ¹⁰ But as soon as his disciples were gone up, then went he also himself up to the feast: not in public, but as in concealment.

²⁰ Then many of them said, He hath a devil, and is mad; why hearken to him?

²⁴ As thus he was proceeding in his defence, Festus with a loud voice said, Paul, thou art raving; much reading hath driven thee to madness.

¹³ For if we are transported out of ourselves, it is for God; or if we are sober-minded, it is for your sake.

³⁴ But the Pharisees said, By the prince of the devils doth he cast the devils out.

²⁵ It is sufficient if the disciple be as his teacher, and the servant as his master. If they have called the master of the family Beelzebub, how much more his domestics?

¹⁸ For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He hath a devil:

²⁴ But the Pharisees hearing them, said, This fellow casteth not out devils, but by Beelzebub, the prince of the devils.

¹ THEN came to Jesus scribes and Pharisees from Jerusalem, saying,

¹ AND the Pharisees, and some of the scribes, who came from Jerusalem, collected together around him.

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

¹⁵ But some of them said, He casteth out devils by Beelzebub the prince of the devils.

²⁰ The multitude answered and said, Thou hast a devil: who is seeking to kill thee?

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

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.

²² Then was the feast of dedication at Jerusalem, and it was winter.

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

²⁵ But Jesus knowing their thoughts, said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself will be desolated; and every city, or family, divided against itself cannot subsist: ²⁶ so if Satan cast out Satan; he is divided against himself; how then can his kingdom subsist? ²⁷ And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your sons cast them out? therefore shall they be your judges. ²⁸ But if I by the Spirit of God cast out the devils, then truly the kingdom of God is come unto you. ²⁹ Else how can one enter into a strong man's house and plunder his goods, except he first bind the strong man, and then will he plunder his goods? ³⁰ He that is not with me, is against me; and he that associates not with me, scattereth abroad.

³⁴ All these things spake Jesus in parables to the multitudes; and without a parable he spake not to them:

² And he taught them in parables many things, and said unto them in the course of his teaching,

¹⁷ But he, knowing their thoughts, said to them, Every kingdom divided against itself is laid waste; and a house against a house, falleth. ¹⁸ And if Satan also be divided against himself, how shall his kingdom be established? because ye say, that I cast out devils by Beelzebub. ¹⁹ But if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your sons cast them out? therefore they shall be your judges. ²⁰ But if with the finger of God I cast out devils, then, verily the kingdom of God is come unto you. ²¹ When a strong man, in complete armour, guards his palace, his goods are in peace. ²² But when a stronger person than he coming, vanquisheth him, he takes away his suit of armour in which he confided, and distributes the spoils. ²³ He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me, scattereth abroad.

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

¹⁰ Now I conjure you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no schisms among you; but that ye be perfectly united together in the same mind and the same sentiment. ¹¹ For I have been informed concerning you, my brethren, by those of the family of Chloe, that there are contentions among you. ¹² Now this I observe, that one and another of you saith, I am indeed of Paul; but I of Apollos; but I of Cephas; but I am of Christ. ¹³ Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were ye baptised into the name of Paul?

³ careful to preserve unity of spirit, in the bond of peace. ⁴ There is one body, and one spirit, even as ye have been called to one hope of your calling; ⁵ one Lord, one faith, one baptism, ⁶ one God, and father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.

¹⁵ But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed by one another.

¹⁶ For where envy and contention dwell, there is tumult and every vile deed.

²⁹ Else how can one enter into a strong man's house and plunder his goods, except he first bind the strong man, and then will he plunder his goods?

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. ²⁰ Nevertheless, in this rejoice not, that the spirits are made subject to you; but rejoice rather, that your names are inscribed in the heavens.

³¹ Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the ruler of this world be ejected out [of it].

²⁰ Now the God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen.

¹⁰ Finally, brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. ¹¹ Be clothed in the panoply of God, that we may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. ¹² For our conflict is not merely against flesh and blood, but against principalities, and against powers, and against the rulers of the darkness of this world, and against wicked spirits in the aerial regions. ¹³ Therefore take the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all things to stand.

¹⁵ spoiling principalities and powers, he exposed them to view openly, triumphing over them on it.

¹⁴ Seeing therefore that the children have partaken of flesh and blood, he also himself, in exact resemblance, partook of the same, that by death he might destroy him who held the power of death, that is, the devil;

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

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

⁷ Then was there war in the heaven: Michael and his angels warred against the dragon; and the dragon warred and his angels, ⁸ and they could not prevail; neither was there any more place found for them in the heaven. ⁹ And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, who is called the Devil, and Satan, who deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

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

³¹ Therefore I say unto you, All sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven to men; but the blasphemy against the Spirit shall not be forgiven to men. ³² And whosoever may speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever shall speak against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, nor in the world to come.

²⁸ Verily I say unto you, That all sins shall be forgiven to the sons of men, and the blasphemies, whatsoever they may blaspheme: ²⁹ but whosoever shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost, hath no forgiveness to eternity, but is adjudged to everlasting damnation. ³⁰ Because they said, he hath an unclean spirit.

¹⁰ And every one who shall utter a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him; but for him who hath blasphemed against the Holy Ghost, there shall be no forgiveness.

⁴ For it is not possible to renew again unto repentance those who have been once illuminated, and have tasted the celestial gift, and have been made partakers of the Holy Ghost, ⁵ and have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come, ⁶ and yet have fallen away: for they crucify again to themselves the Son of God, and expose him to public infamy. ⁷ For the earth which imbibes the rain which often falls upon it, and bringeth forth herbage suitable for those by whom it is cultured, receiveth a blessing from God; ⁸ but if it produceth thorns and thistles, it is abandoned, and near the curse [of barrenness], whose end will be for burning.

²⁶ For if we sin wilfully after we have received the knowledge of the truth, no more sacrifice for sins remaineth; ²⁷ but a certain terrible expectation of judgment, and a burning indignation, ready to devour these enemies. ²⁸ Any man who treated the law of Moses with neglect, was put to death, without mercy, on the deposition of two or three witnesses: ²⁹ by how much, think ye, shall he be counted worthy of more condign punishment who hath trampled on the Son of God, and regarded the blood of his testament, by which he was sanctified, as an unclean thing, and hath treated the gracious Spirit contumeliously? ³⁰ For we know him who declares, "Vengeance is mine, I will repay, saith the Lord." And again, "The Lord will judge his people." ³¹ It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

¹⁶ If any person see his brother committing a sin not unto death, he shall request, and God will grant him life for those that sin not unto death. There is a sin unto death: I say not that he should request for that.

⁴⁶ And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.

⁴⁰ who devour widows' houses, and in pretence make long prayers: such shall receive greater damnation.

⁹ who shall receive punishment, even eternal perdition, from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power:

⁷ As Sodom and Gomorrha and the surrounding cities, in like manner with them abandoned to whoredom, and going after other flesh, are set forth an example, suffering the judicial punishment of eternal fire.

¹³ raging billows of the sea foaming out their own infamies; stars wandering from their courses, for whom the blackness of darkness for ever is reserved.

²² And the scribes who came down from Jerusalem, said, He hath Beelzebub, and by this prince of the devils doth he cast out devils.

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

¹⁹ Then came to him his mother and his brethren, and could not come near him because of the crowd. ²⁰ And it was told him, saying, Thy mother and thy brethren are standing without, desirous of seeing thee. ²¹ Then he answered and said to them, My mother and my brethren are they, who hear the word of God, and practise it.

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

⁴⁹ And he said unto them, Wherefore did ye seek me? did you not know, that I must be occupied with my Father's affairs?

⁴ Jesus saith unto her, What is that to me and thee, woman? my hour is not yet come.

³ Then said his disciples to him, Depart hence, and go into Judea, that thy disciples also may see thy works which thou doest. ⁴ For no man doeth any thing in secret, yet seeketh himself to appear publicly: if thou doest these things, exhibit thyself to the world. ⁵ For even his own brethren did not believe on him.

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.

⁴⁰ And the king answering shall say to them, Verily I tell you, for as much as ye have done it to one of these my brethren, the very least of them, ye have done it unto me. ⁴¹ Then shall he say also to those on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels: ⁴² for I was hungry, and ye gave me nothing to eat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me nothing to drink: ⁴³ I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye did not clothe me: sick, and in prison, and ye took no care of me. ⁴⁴ Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee? ⁴⁵ Then shall he reply to them, saying, For as much as ye have not done it to one of the least of these, neither have ye done it to me.

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

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

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

²⁹ For whom he foreknew, he predestinated also to a conformity with the image of his Son, that he might be the first-begotten among many brethren.

¹¹ For both he that sanctifies, and they who are sanctified, are all of one. For which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren, ¹² saying, "I will declare thy name to my brethren, in the midst of the church I will sing hymns to thee."

²¹ Not every one who saith to me, Lord, Lord! shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father who is in heaven.

¹⁷ If any man will do his will, he shall know respecting the doctrine, whether it is of God, or whether I speak from myself.

²⁵ But he that looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and perseveres, this man not being a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, he shall be blessed in his practice.

¹⁷ And the world is passing away, and the lust thereof, but he who doeth the will of God abideth for ever.

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