Mark 8 Cross References - Haweis

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

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

³² Then said Jesus unto them, Verily, verily, I tell you, It was not Moses who gave you the bread from heaven; but my Father giveth you the real bread from heaven. ³³ For he that cometh down from heaven, and giveth life to the world, is the bread of God. ³⁴ Then said they unto him, Lord, evermore give us this bread. ³⁵ Then said Jesus to them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst more.

⁴⁷ Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life. ⁴⁸ I am the bread of life. ⁴⁹ Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and they are dead. ⁵⁰ This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that any person may eat of it, and never die. ⁵¹ I am the bread that giveth life, which came down from heaven: if any person eat of this bread, he shall live to eternity; and the bread indeed which I shall give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world. ⁵² Then the Jews contended with each other, saying, How can this man give us his flesh to eat? ⁵³ Jesus therefore said to them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in yourselves. ⁵⁴ He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath life eternal: and I will raise him up at the last day. ⁵⁵ For my flesh truly is meat, and my blood truly is drink. ⁵⁶ He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, abideth in me, and I in him. ⁵⁷ As the life-giving Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father; so he that eateth me, the same shall live by me. ⁵⁸ This is the bread which came down from heaven, not as the manna your fathers did eat, and died: he that eateth this bread shall live to eternity.

¹⁶ They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun scorch them, nor any burning heat. ¹⁷ Because the Lamb who is in the midst of the throne will feed them, as a shepherd, and lead them unto living fountains of waters; and God shall wipe away every tear from their eyes.

³⁹ And dismissing the multitudes he went on board a vessel, and came into the coasts of Magdala.

³⁸ Then certain of the scribes and Pharisees addressed him, saying, Master, we desire to see a sign from thee.

¹ AND the Pharisees and the Sadducees came to him, and, to make trial of him, desired him to shew them a sign from heaven. ² And he answering, said unto them, When evening comes, ye say, Fair weather, for the sky is red. ³ And in the morning, It will be tempestuous to-day, for the sky is gloomy and fiery red. Ye hypocrites, do ye know how to discern the appearance of the sky, and are ye unable to discern the signs of the times? 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. ⁵ And when his disciples were come to the other side, they had forgotten to take bread. ⁶ Then Jesus said to them, Beware and abstain from the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees. ⁷ So they reasoned among themselves, saying, It is because we have not taken bread. ⁸ But when Jesus knew it, he said unto them, Why are ye reasoning among yourselves, O ye of little faith, because ye have not taken bread? 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? ¹¹ How is it that ye do not understand, that I spake not to you of bread, to beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees? ¹² Then understood they, that he spake about abstaining not from the leaven in the bread, but from the doctrine of the Pharisees and the Sadducees.

³ And the Pharisees came to him, tempting him, and saying, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause?

²³ And when he was come into the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came to him, as he was teaching, demanding, By what authority doest thou these things? And who gave thee this authority?

¹⁵ Then went the Pharisees, and took counsel together how they might lay a snare to entrap him in his discourse.

¹⁸ But Jesus knew their wicked design, and said, Why tempt ye me, ye hypocrites?

²³ On the same day the Sadducees came to him, who say, that there is no resurrection, and they put a question to him,

³⁴ But the Pharisees hearing that he had stopped the Sadducees' mouths, they assembled together: ³⁵ and one of them, a teacher of the law, put a question to him, to make trial of him, and said,

¹⁶ And the scribes and the Pharisees seeing him eat with publicans and sinners, said to his disciples, How is it that he eateth and drinketh with publicans and sinners?

¹ AND the Pharisees, and some of the scribes, who came from Jerusalem, collected together around him. ² And seeing some of his disciples eating bread with hands unclean, that is, unwashed, they found fault.

¹⁵ shall we pay, or shall we not pay it? but he, perceiving their hypocrisy, said unto them, Why tempt ye me? bring me a denarius, that I may see it.

²⁵ And, behold, a certain doctor of the law arose, to make trial of him, saying, Master, by doing what shall I inherit eternal life?

¹⁶ But others, tempting him, sought of him a sign from heaven.

⁵³ And as he was saying these things unto them, the scribes and Pharisees began to urge him vehemently, and to extort answers from him respecting many things; ⁵⁴ laying snares for him, and seeking to catch hold of something from his mouth, that they might accuse him.

⁵⁴ Then said he to the multitudes, When ye see a cloud rising from the west, ye say immediately, There cometh a shower; and it is so. ⁵⁵ And when the south wind gently blows, ye say, It will be sultry hot; and so it is. ⁵⁶ Ye hypocrites! ye know how to discern by experience from the appearance of the earth and of the sky; but how is it that ye do not discern this particular time? ⁵⁷ And why even of yourselves do ye not decide what is just?

⁴⁸ Then said Jesus unto him, Unless ye see miracles and wonders, ye will not believe.

³⁰ Then said they to him, What miracle therefore dost thou, that we may see and believe thee? what dost thou work?

⁴⁸ Hath any one of the rulers or of the Pharisees believed on him?

⁹ Then Peter said unto her, How is it that ye have conspired together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? see, the feet of them who have buried thy husband are at the door, and shall carry thee out.

²² For the Jews demand a miracle, and the Greeks seek wisdom: ²³ but we preach Christ crucified, to the Jews indeed an offence, and to the Greeks folly;

⁹ Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed by serpents.

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: ⁴⁰ for as Jonah was in the belly of the whale three days and three nights; so shall the Son of man be in the heart of the earth three days and three nights.

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.

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

⁶ And he marvelled at their infidelity. And he went about the villages around, teaching.

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

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.

²⁹ Then the multitudes thronging around him, he began to say, This is a wicked generation: it seeketh a sign, and no sign shall be given it, but the sign of Jonah the prophet. ³⁰ For as Jonas was a sign to the Ninevites, so shall the Son of man also be to this generation.

²⁹ Abraham saith to him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hearken to them. ³⁰ But he said, Ah no, father Abraham! but if one came to them from the dead, they will repent. ³¹ Then he said to him, If they hearken not to Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded though one rose from the dead.

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

⁶⁷ If thou art the Messiah, tell us. And he said unto them, If I tell you, ye will not believe: ⁶⁸ and if I shall ask you any question, ye will neither answer me, nor let me go free. ⁶⁹ Hereafter shall the Son of man sit at the right hand of the power of God. ⁷⁰ Then said they all, Art thou then the Son of God? And he said unto them, Yourselves say that I am.

³³ When Jesus then saw her weeping, and all the Jews who came with her lamenting, he groaned in spirit, and was himself greatly agitated: ³⁴ and he said, Where have ye laid him? They say to him, Lord, come and see. ³⁵ Jesus wept. ³⁶ Then said the Jews, Behold, how he loved him! ³⁷ But some of them said, Could not this man, who openeth the eyes of the blind, have caused that this person should not have died? ³⁸ Then Jesus again groaning in himself, cometh to the sepulchre. It was an excavation, and a stone lay upon it.

³⁷ Now, though he had done so many miracles before them, they believed not on him: ³⁸ that the saying of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spake, "Lord, who hath believed our report? and to whom hath the arm of the Lord been revealed?" ³⁹ For this reason they could not believe, because Isaiah had said again; ⁴⁰ "He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their hearts; lest they should see with their eyes, and understand with the heart, and be converted, and I should heal them." ⁴¹ These things said Isaiah, when he saw his glory, and spake of him. ⁴² However, notwithstanding, many even of the rulers believed on him; but on account of the Pharisees they did not make open profession, lest they should be put out of the synagogues: ⁴³ for they loved honour from men, more than honour from God.

⁶ Give not that which is holy to dogs, nor cast pearls before swine; lest they tread them under foot, and turning round tear you.

¹⁴ Leave them to themselves: they are blind leaders of the blind. But if the blind lead the blind, they will both fall into the pit.

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

²¹ Then spake Jesus again to them, I am going away, and ye shall seek me, and shall die in your sin: whither I am going ye cannot come.

³⁶ While ye have the light, believe in the light, that ye may be the children of the light. These things spake Jesus, and going away, concealed himself from them.

⁴⁵ But the Jews seeing the multitude, were filled with envy, and opposed the things spoken by Paul, contradicting and reviling. ⁴⁶ Then Paul and Barnabas speaking with undaunted boldness, said, It was necessary that the word of God should be first spoken unto you: but since ye have thrust it from you, and judged yourselves not worthy of eternal life, lo! we turn to the Gentiles.

⁶ But as they continued opposing and blaspheming, he shook his garments, and said unto them, Your blood be upon your own heads; I am pure from it: from this moment will I go to the Gentiles.

⁵ And when his disciples were come to the other side, they had forgotten to take bread.

¹ AT that time Herod the tetrarch heard the report of Jesus,

⁶ Then Jesus said to them, Beware and abstain from the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.

¹⁵ Then went the Pharisees, and took counsel together how they might lay a snare to entrap him in his discourse. ¹⁶ And they sent to him their disciples, with the Herodians, saying, Master, we know that thou art true, and teachest the way of God with veracity; and carest for no man, for thou regardest not the person of men: ¹⁷ tell us therefore, What thinkest thou? Is it lawful to pay tribute to Caesar, or not? ¹⁸ But Jesus knew their wicked design, and said, Why tempt ye me, ye hypocrites?

¹³ And they sent unto him certain of the Pharisees and of the Herodians, that they might entrap him in discourse.

¹ MEANTIME myriads of people collecting, so that they trod on one another, he began to speak to his disciples, Take heed principally of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy. ² For there is nothing concealed, that shall not be laid open; nor hid, which shall not be known.

¹⁵ Then said he to them, Beware, and be on your guard against covetousness; for a man's life doth not depend on the abundance of his possessions.

⁶ Your glorying is not good: know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole mass? ⁷ Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new mass, as ye are unleavened. For our passover hath been sacrificed for us, even Christ. ⁸ Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, nor with the leaven of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.

²¹ I adjure thee before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, and the elect angels, that thou observe these things without prejudice, doing nothing by partiality.

¹³ I conjure thee in the presence of God, who giveth life to all things, and of Christ Jesus, who witnessed that noble confession before Pontius Pilate;

¹⁴ Put them in mind of these things, adjuring them before the Lord not to quarrel about words of no use, but tending to the perversion of the audience.

⁷ So they reasoned among themselves, saying, It is because we have not taken bread. ⁸ But when Jesus knew it, he said unto them, Why are ye reasoning among yourselves, O ye of little faith, because ye have not taken bread?

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

⁵ And they reasoned among themselves, saying, If we reply, From heaven; he will say, Wherefore then did ye not believe him?

¹⁷ Do ye not observe, that every thing which entereth into the mouth passeth into the belly, and is ejected into the vault?

⁸ But when Jesus knew it, he said unto them, Why are ye reasoning among yourselves, O ye of little faith, because ye have not taken bread? ⁹ Do you not consider, nor remember the five loaves among the five thousand, and how many baskets ye took up?

⁸ And instantly Jesus knowing by his spirit, that they reasoned thus among each other, said to them, Why reason ye about these things in your hearts?

¹⁴ Afterwards he shewed himself to the eleven, as they were sitting at table, and upbraided them for their infidelity and hardness of heart, because they did not believe those who had seen him after he was risen.

²⁵ And he said unto them, O ye void of understanding, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken!

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

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.

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

¹¹ Concerning whom we have much to discourse, and of difficult interpretation to explain, seeing ye are dull of hearing. ¹² For though ye ought for the time to be teachers of others, ye have again need that some one teach you the leading principles of the oracles of God; and are become as those who need milk, and not solid food.

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.

¹⁴ And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah, which saith, With the hearing ye shall hear, and not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and in no wise perceive: ¹⁵ for the heart of this people is waxed gross, and with their ears they have heard heavily, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with the eves, and hear with the ears, and understand with the heart, and be converted, and I should heal them.

¹² That seeing they may see, yet not perceive; and hearing may hear, yet not understand; lest at any time they should be converted, and their sins be forgiven them.

⁴⁰ "He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their hearts; lest they should see with their eyes, and understand with the heart, and be converted, and I should heal them."

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

⁸ as it is written, "God hath given them the spirit of slumber, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear; unto this present day."

¹² Wherefore I will not be negligent continually to remind you of these things, though ye know them, and are established in the present truth.

¹⁷ And they said unto him, We have nothing here except five loaves and two fishes. ¹⁸ Then he said, Bring them hither to me. 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. ²⁰ And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up the superabundance of the fragments, twelve baskets full. ²¹ And they who had eaten, were about five thousand men, besides women and children.

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.

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.

³⁴ And Jesus said unto them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven, and a few small fishes. ³⁵ And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground. 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. 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.

¹ IN those days the multitude being exceedingly great, and having nothing to eat, Jesus calling his disciples to him, said unto them, ² I have compassion on the multitude, for they have stayed with me already three days, and have nothing to eat: ³ and if I send them away fasting to their houses, they will faint on the road; for many of them came from a great distance. ⁴ His disciples answered him, Whence can a man here in the desert satisfy these with bread? ⁵ And he asked them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven. 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. ⁷ And they had a few small fishes; and blessing, he commanded to set these also before them. 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.

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

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?

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?

⁵ I speak to you to shame you. Is it so, that there is not among you a wise man? Not so much as one who is able to judge between one brother and another?

³⁴ Awake as the righteous, and sin not; for some have an ignorance of God: I speak this to your shame.

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

¹⁵ And he touched her hand, and the fever left her: and she arose, and waited upon them.

²⁹ Then he touched their eyes, saying, According to your faith be it unto you.

²¹ Wo unto thee, Chorazin! wo unto thee, Bethsaida! for if the miracles which had been wrought in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, long since would they have repented in sack-cloth and ashes.

³ And they come to him, carrying a paralytic, borne of four:

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.

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.

⁵⁵ running through all parts of that country, they began to carry about on couches those who were afflicted with diseases, wherever they heard that he was. 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.

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.

¹³ Wo to thee Chorazin! wo to thee Bethsaida! for if the miracles which have been done in thee, had been done in Tyre and Sidon, long ago sitting in sackcloth and ashes, would they have repented.

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

²¹ these then came to Philip, who was of Bethsaida, of Galilee, and they asked him, saying, Sir, we wish to see Jesus.

²³ and entreated him importunately, saying, My little daughter is at the last gasp; wilt thou come, and lay thy hands upon her, that she may recover, and she shall live.

³³ And he took him aside out of the crowd, and put his fingers into his ears, and spitting, he touched his tongue;

⁶ So speaking, he spat on the ground, and made mud with the spittle, and anointed with the mud the eyes of the blind man; ⁷ and said to him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam, (which signifies, Sent.) Then he went and washed, and came seeing. ⁸ Then Paul arose from the earth; and when his eyes were opened, he saw no man: but leading him by the hand, they brought him into Damascus.

⁹ not according to that covenant which I made with their fathers, in the day when I laid hold upon their hand to lead them up out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant, and I took no longer care of them, saith the Lord.

¹⁸ I advise thee to buy of me gold purified by the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white robes, that thou mayest be completely clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness may not appear; and anoint thine eyes with a collyrium, that thou mayest see.

⁹ For we know partially, and prophesy partially. ¹⁰ But when that which is perfect cometh, then that which is in part shall be done away. ¹¹ When I was a child, I spake as a child, I thought as a child, I reasoned as a child: but when I grew a man, I put away childish things. ¹² For now we see by reflected light, indistinctly; but then face to face: now I know partially; but then shall I know even as I am known.

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

⁶ being confident of this very thing, that he who hath wrought in you the good work will perfect it until the day of Jesus Christ:

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

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

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

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

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

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

³⁶ And he charged them that they should tell no man: but the more he charged, the more abundantly they published it abroad.

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

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. 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. ¹⁹ And I will give thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven; and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. ²⁰ Then he commanded his disciples, that they should tell no man that he was Jesus the Messiah.

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? ¹⁹ And they answering said, John the Baptist; but some Elias; and others, that one of the old prophets is risen again. ²⁰ And he said to them, But who do ye say that I am? Then Peter answering said, The Messiah of God.

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

¹⁴ But they replied, Some, that thou art John the Baptist; but others, Elias; and others again, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets.

¹⁴ And king Herod heard it (for his name was celebrated), and he said, This is John the Baptist, he is risen from the dead, and therefore miracles are wrought by him. ¹⁵ Others said, That it is Elias; and others said, He is a prophet, or as one of the prophets. ¹⁶ But when Herod heard it, he said, This is John whom I beheaded; he is risen from the dead.

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.

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. ⁹ And Herod said, John I beheaded; but who is this, of whom I hear such things? And he sought to see him.

²¹ And they asked him, What then? art thou Elias? and he said, I am not. Art thou that prophet? and he answered, No.

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.

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

²⁰ And he said to them, But who do ye say that I am? Then Peter answering said, The Messiah of God.

⁴¹ He first finds his own brother Simon, and saith to him, We have found the Messiah (which is, being translated, the Christ). 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. 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. ⁴⁶ And Nathaniel said to him, Can any thing good come out of Nazareth? Philip saith to him, Come and see. ⁴⁷ Jesus saw Nathaniel coming to him, and saith of him, Behold an Israelite in reality, in whom there is no guile! ⁴⁸ Nathaniel saith unto him, From whence canst thou know me? Jesus answered and said unto him, Before Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig-tree, I saw thee. ⁴⁹ Nathaniel answered and said to him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God; thou art the king of Israel.

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.

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

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

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?

²⁰ And immediately he preached Christ in the synagogues, that he is the Son of God.

⁷ By you therefore who believe is he honoured: but respecting the disobedient, "the stone which the builders rejected, this very stone is become the head of the corner,

¹⁵ Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God abideth in him, and he in God.

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.

²⁶ And he sent him away unto his own house, saying, Neither enter thou into the city, nor speak to any in the city.

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.

²¹ And strictly charging them, he commanded, that they should tell no man this:

⁴⁰ for as Jonah was in the belly of the whale three days and three nights; so shall the Son of man be in the heart of the earth three days and three nights.

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.

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.

¹⁷ And Jesus going up to Jerusalem, took his twelve disciples aside on the road, and said to them; 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.

⁴² Jesus saith unto them, Have ye not read in the Scriptures, "The stone, which the builders rejected; the same is become the head of the corner; this is done by the Lord, and it is wonderful in our eyes."

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.

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.

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

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. ²³ And he said unto them, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me. ²⁴ For whosoever would preserve his life shall lose it; but whosoever would lose his life for my sake, shall preserve it. ²⁵ For what advantage hath a man in gaining all the would, if he destroy himself, or be punished with the loss of life? ²⁶ For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in his own glory, and his father's, and of the holy angels. ²⁷ And I tell you of a certainty, there are some of those who stand here, who shall not taste death, till they see the kingdom of God.

²⁵ But he must first suffer many things, and be rejected by this generation.

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.

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.

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

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.

¹⁹ Jesus answered and said to them, Pull down this temple, and in three days I will rear it up again.

⁴⁸ He that sets me at nought, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: even the word which I have spoken, the same shall judge him at the last day.

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.

³⁵ This very Moses whom they had rejected, saying, Who made thee a ruler and a judge? the same did God send to be a ruler and redeemer by the hand of the angel who appeared to him in the bush.

⁵¹ Ye stiff-necked and uncircumcised in heart and in ears, ye do always oppose yourselves against the Holy Ghost: as your fathers, so are ye. ⁵² Which of the prophets have not your fathers persecuted? and they killed those who before published the tidings of the coming of that Righteous Person; of whom ye have now been the betrayers and murderers:

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

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

³⁸ and he was in the stern, sleeping on a pillow: and they awoke him, and say unto him, Master, is it no concern to thee that we are perishing?

⁴⁰ But Martha was hurrying about to provide a large entertainment, and coming up to him, she said, Lord, is it no concern to thee, that my sister hath left me to make the whole provision by myself? bid her therefore to assist me.

⁶ Then cometh he to Simon Peter: and he saith to him, Lord, dost thou wash my feet? ⁷ Jesus answered and said to him, What I am doing thou knowest not now; but thou shalt know hereafter. ⁸ Peter saith to him, Thou shalt never wash my feet: no, never. Jesus answered him, Except I wash thee, thou hast no part with me.

²⁵ These things have I spoken to you in parables: but the hour is coming when I will no more speak to you in parables, but will plainly inform you respecting the Father.

²⁹ His disciples said unto him, Lo! now thou speakest plainly, and speakest in no-wise proverbial.

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

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."

³¹ Wherefore be under no anxiety, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, With what shall we be clothed? ³² (for after all these things the heathen seek:) and your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of them all.

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.

³⁴ And looking about on those who were sitting in a circle round him, he saith, Behold my mother and my brethren!

⁸ And Jesus answering him, said, Get thee behind me, Satan, for it is written, "Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and to him alone shalt thou pay divine honour."

⁵⁵ And turning to them, he reproved them, and said, Ye know not what spirit ye are of:

⁶¹ And the Lord, turning round, looked upon Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how he had said to him, That before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice.

⁵ For they who are after the flesh, mind the things of the flesh; but they who are after the Spirit, the things of the Spirit. ⁶ For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. ⁷ Because the propensity of the flesh is inimical against God: for it is not in subjection to the law of God, neither indeed can it be. ⁸ They then who are in the flesh, cannot please God.

⁵ to deliver such a one over to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.

¹⁹ whose end is perdition, whose God is their belly, and their glory in their shame, whose minds are occupied with earthly things.

²⁰ Those who sin rebuke before all, that the rest also may tremble.

¹³ This testimony is true. For which cause rebuke them with severity, that they may be sound in the faith;

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.

¹ CHRIST then having suffered for us in the flesh, be ye also in mind armed for the same conflict: for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sinning;

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

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

²⁹ If then thine eye, the right, leads thee to offend, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is highly for thy advantage, that one of thy members be destroyed, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell. ³⁰ And if thy right hand leads thee to offend, cut it off, and cast it from thee: for it is highly thy interest that one of thy members should be destroyed, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.

¹³ Enter in through the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and spacious the road, which leadeth to perdition, and they are many who enter that way: ¹⁴ because strait is the gate, and narrow the road, which leadeth to life, and they are but a few who find it.

³⁸ And he that taketh not up his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me.

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 And as they were going out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name; him they compelled to carry his cross.

¹⁴ And he called to him all the multitude, and said unto them, hear me all of you, and understand.

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.

²¹ Then Jesus looking upon him, loved him, and said to him, In one thing thou art defective: go, sell all that thou hast, and give to the poor; and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up thy cross, and follow me.

²³ And he said unto them, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.

²⁴ Exert all your powers to enter through the strait gate: for many, I tell you, will seek to enter, but will not be able.

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.

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.

⁴⁵ And whilst all the people were hearkening, he said to his disciples,

²⁷ My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:

³⁶ Simon Peter saith to him, Lord, Whither art thou going? Jesus answered him, Whither I am going, thou canst not follow me now; but thou shalt follow me hereafter. ³⁷ Peter saith to him, Lord, why cannot I follow thee now? I will lay down my life for thee.

¹⁷ And carrying his cross he went forth to a place called the Place of a Skull, which in the Hebrew is termed Golgotha:

¹⁹ This he told him, to intimate by what kind of death he should glorify God. And having thus spoken, he said to him, Follow me. 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?

²² strengthening the souls of the brethren, exhorting them to abide firm in the faith, and that through many afflictions we must pass into the kingdom of heaven.

⁶ knowing this, that our old man hath been crucified with him, that the body of sin might be abolished, that we should no longer be slaves to sin.

¹⁷ But if children, then heirs; heirs indeed of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be we suffer with him, that we may also together with him be glorified.

¹ WE then that are strong, ought to bear the infirmities of those who are feeble, and not to gratify ourselves. ² Let every one of us gratify his neighbour in that which is good for his edification. ³ For even Christ gratified not himself; but as it is written, "The reproaches of them that reproached thee are fallen upon me."

⁹ For I think that God hath exposed us his apostles the last as devoted unto death. For we have been made a spectacle to the world, and to angels, and to men. ¹⁰ We are counted fools for Christ's sake, but ye are wise in Christ; we are weak, but ye are mighty; ye are honourable persons, but we despised. ¹¹ For even to this present hour we undergo hunger and thirst and nakedness, and are buffeted about, and have no settled abode; ¹² and work hard, labouring with our own hands: being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we suffer it; ¹³ being injuriously spoken of, we entreat; we are made as the ordures of the world, as the sweepings of all things unto this day.

¹³ Wherefore if meat give occasion of offence to my brother, I will in no wise eat meat for ever, that I give no cause of offence to my brother.

¹⁹ For though I be free from all men, I have made myself the servant of all, that I might gain the more.

³¹ I solemnly declare by all the joy over you which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily.

²⁰ I am crucified with Christ, yet I live; though no more I, but Christ liveth in me: and my present life in the flesh, is a life by faith in the Son of God, who hath loved me, and delivered up himself for me.

²⁴ But they who are Christ's have crucified the flesh with its passions and irregular appetites.

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,

⁷ But what things were gain to me, these have I counted loss for Christ.

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

²⁴ Now I rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up in my flesh the measure of afflictions for Christ which remains to be endured for his body, which is the church,

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

¹¹ For we hear that there are some among you who walk disorderly, doing no work, but being busy-bodies.

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

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

¹³ but as ye share in the sufferings of Christ rejoice, that at the revelation of his glory also ye may hail him with exultations.

¹⁴ knowing that the deposition of this frail tabernacle of mine is hastily approaching, as our Lord Jesus Christ hath made evident to me.

¹⁶ By this we have known the love [of Christ], because for us he laid down his own life: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.

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.

¹⁰ Blessed are they who are persecuted for righteousness sake: for their's is the kingdom in heaven. ¹¹ Blessed are ye, when they shall revile and persecute you, and lying, speak every thing evil against you for my sake. ¹² Rejoice and exult; for plenteous is your reward in the heavens: for just so they persecuted the prophets who went before you.

²² And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end, that man shall be saved.

³⁹ He that preserveth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall preserve it.

²⁵ For whosoever is desirous to preserve his life, shall lose it; but whosoever would lose his life for my sake, shall find it.

²⁹ And every one who hath left family, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name sake, shall receive an hundred fold, and shall inherit life eternal.

²² Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you from them, and shall revile you, and shall cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man's sake. ²³ Rejoice in that day, and leap for joy; for, lo! your reward is great in heaven: for after the same manner did your fathers to the prophets.

²⁴ For whosoever would preserve his life shall lose it; but whosoever would lose his life for my sake, shall preserve it.

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. 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.

²⁰ Remember the word which I spake unto you, The servant is not greater than his master. If they have persecuted me, they will persecute you also; if they have observed my words, they will observe your's also. ²¹ But all these things will they do unto you for my name's sake, because they know not him that sent me.

¹⁶ for I will shew him how many things he must suffer for my name's sake.

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.

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.

²³ And this I do for the gospel's sake, that I may be a partaker of it with you.

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.

⁸ Be not thou therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner: but suffer affliction with me in the gospel, supported by the power of God;

¹¹ It is a faithful saying: for if we be dead with him, we shall also live with him: ¹² if we suffer with him, we shall also reign with him: if we renounce him, he also will renounce us: ¹³ if we are unbelieving, he abideth faithful; he cannot contradict himself.

⁶ For I am now ready to be sacrificed, and the time of my dissolution approaches. ⁷ I have struggled hard in the honourable contest, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith: ⁸ henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, shall give me at that day: yet not to me only, but also to all who have loved his appearing.

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

¹² Beloved, be not amazed at the fiery trial among you which is to bring you to the test, as though something strange happened to you; ¹³ but as ye share in the sufferings of Christ rejoice, that at the revelation of his glory also ye may hail him with exultations. 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 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.

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.

⁸ Again the devil taketh him unto an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and their glory; ⁹ and saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall prostrate and worship me. 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."

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?

²⁵ For what advantage hath a man in gaining all the would, if he destroy himself, or be punished with the loss of life?

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?

¹⁹ Now there was a certain rich man, and he was clothed in purple and fine linen, making splendid entertainments every day: ²⁰ and there was a certain pauper, named Lazarus, who was laid at his gate covered with ulcers, ²¹ and importunately desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table: yea even the dogs came and licked his ulcers. ²² Now it came to pass that the poor man died, and was carried up by angels into the bosom of Abraham. Then the rich man also died, and was buried: ²³ and in hell, lifting up his eyes, being in torments, he seeth Abraham at a vast distance, and Lazarus in his bosom.

²¹ What fruit therefore had ye then in those things at which ye are now confounded? for the end of those things is death.

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, ⁹ and be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is by the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:

²⁴ By faith Moses, when he became a grown man, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter; ²⁵ choosing rather to suffer afflictions with the people of God, than to have a temporary fruition of sin; ²⁶ esteeming the reproach of Christ riches greater than the treasures of Egypt: for he looked earnestly to the recompence of reward.

⁹ Let the brother low in station rejoice in his elevation: ¹⁰ but the rich, in his abasement: for as the flower of grass he shall pass away. ¹¹ For the sun arose with fervour, and burnt up the grass, and the flower of it fell off, and the beauty of its appearance was lost: just so the rich man in his course of life shall wither away.

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.

¹⁸ knowing that ye have not been redeemed out of your vain manner of life, derived traditionally from your fathers, by the corruptible things, silver and gold, ¹⁹ but by the precious blood of Christ, as the unblemished and spotless lamb:

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.

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.

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:

⁴¹ The Son of man shall send out his angels, and shall gather together out of his kingdom all things offensive, and those who practise iniquity;

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 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.

⁶² Then said Jesus, I am. And ye shall see the Son of man sitting at the right hand of power, and coming with the clouds of heaven.

²⁶ For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in his own glory, and his father's, and of 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.

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

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.

⁵¹ And he saith to him, Verily, verily, I tell you, From henceforth ye shall see heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man.

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

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?

⁴¹ Then they went rejoicing from the presence of the sanhedrim, that for his name's sake, they had been counted worthy to suffer this injurious treatment.

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.

⁷ so that ye became models for all that believe in Macedonia and Achaia. ⁸ For from you sounded forth the word of the Lord, not only into Macedonia and Achaia, but into every region also your fidelity towards God is gone out, so that we have no need to say any thing.

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.

¹⁶ The Lord grant mercy unto the household of Onesiphorus because he frequently was a refreshment to my soul, and was not ashamed of my chain:

¹⁶ But now their longing desires are after a better country, that is, the heavenly one: wherefore God is not ashamed of them to be called their God: for he hath prepared a city for them.

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

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 Ye adulterers and adultresses, know ye not that friendship with the world is enmity against God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is set down an enemy to God.

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

¹⁴ Now Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied also of these men, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with myriads of his saints, ¹⁵ to execute judgment against all men, and to convict all the ungodly of all their deeds of ungodliness which they have impiously committed, and of all the bitter words which impious offenders have spoken against him.
