³⁴ And I have seen it, and have borne testimony that this is the Son of God.

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

¹⁶ For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that every one who believeth in him should not perish, but have life eternal. ¹⁷ For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world by him might be saved. ¹⁸ He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is already under condemnation, because he hath not believed on the name of the only begotten Son of God.

¹⁸ Therefore sought they the more to kill him, because he had not only broken the sabbath, but called God his own Father, setting himself on an equality with God.

²² For the Father never judgeth any man, but hath committed all judgment to the Son: ²³ in order that all may honour the Son, just as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son, doth not honour the Father who sent him. ²⁴ Verily, verily, I say unto you, That he that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment; but is passed from death into life. ²⁵ Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, yea, it is now, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live.

³⁷ And the Father who sent me, himself hath borne witness concerning me. Ye have neither at any time heard his voice, nor seen his form.

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

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

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

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

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

⁹ By this was the love of God manifested to us, that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might have life by him. ¹⁰ Herein is love, not that we have loved God, but that he hath loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiatory sacrifice for our sins.

¹¹ And this is the testimony, that God hath given life eternal to us; and this life is in his Son. ¹² He that hath the Son, hath this life; and he that hath not the Son of God, hath not this life.

²⁰ But we know that the Son of God hath come, and hath given to us understanding, that we might know the true God; and we are in him that is true, in his Son Jesus the Messiah. HE is the true God, and the life eternal.

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

³⁹ But when they were come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught up Philip, and the eunuch saw him no more: then he went on his way rejoicing. ⁴⁰ But Philip found himself at Azotus: and passing through he preached the gospel in all the cities, until he came to Caesarea.

¹⁶ This was thrice repeated: and the vessel was again taken up into heaven.

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.

¹⁹ He shall not contend, nor be clamorous; neither shall any man in the streets hear his voice.

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.

⁹ And when they were coming down from the mountain, Jesus commanded them, saying, Tell no man the vision, until the Son of man is risen from the dead. ¹⁰ And his disciples asked him, saying, Why then do the scribes affirm, that Elias must come first?

⁶³ saying, Sir, we have reflected, that this deceiver, when yet alive, said, After three days I will rise again.

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

²⁹ And he said unto them, But who do ye say that I am? Then Peter answering, said unto him, Thou art the Messiah. ³⁰ And he strictly enjoined them, that they should tell no man of this. ³¹ And he began to teach them, that the Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders, and chief priests, and scribes, and be slain, and after three days rise again.

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

³² And they were on the road going up to Jerusalem; and Jesus was advancing before them: and they were astonished; and followed him full of fear. And again taking the twelve aside, he began to tell them what things were about to befall 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.

⁴⁶ and said to them, That thus it is written, and thus must the Messiah suffer, and rise again from the dead the third day

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

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

⁵⁰ And they understood not the meaning of what he spake to them. ⁵¹ And he went down with them, and came to Nazareth, and was in subjection to them: though his mother preserved all these sayings in her heart.

³³ and after scourging, shall slay him: and the third day he shall rise again. ³⁴ And they understood none of these things: and the saying was concealed from them, and they knew not the things which were spoken.

⁷ saying, That the Son of man must be delivered up into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again. ⁸ And they remembered his declarations,

²⁵ And he said unto them, O ye void of understanding, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken! ²⁶ Ought not the Messiah to suffer these things, and to enter into his glory? ²⁷ And beginning from Moses and all the prophets, he explained to them in all the scriptures, the things relating to himself.

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

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

³³ And this he said, signifying by what death he should die. 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?

¹⁷ Then said some of the disciples unto each other, What is this which he saith to us, A little while longer, and ye shall not see me: and again a little while, and ye shall see me: and this, because I am going to the Father? ¹⁸ They said therefore, What is this which he saith, This little while? we know not what he means. ¹⁹ Now Jesus knew that they were desirous to ask him, and said unto them, Are ye questioning among yourselves concerning this declaration, which I spake, A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again a little while, and ye shall see me?

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

¹⁸ Then certain of the Epicurean and Stoic philosophers attacked him: and some said, What will this chattering fellow say? but others, He seemeth to be a preacher of foreign deities, because he preached to them Jesus and the resurrection.

¹⁴ And if ye will receive it, this is Elias who was to come.

¹⁰ And his disciples asked him, saying, Why then do the scribes affirm, that Elias must come first? ¹¹ Then Jesus answering said unto them, Elias indeed cometh first, and will reform all things.

⁴ And there appeared to him Elias with Moses: and they were conversing with Jesus.

¹ THEN in those days came John the Baptist, preaching in the desert country of Judea, ² and saying, Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is nigh. ³ For this is the person spoken of by Isaiah the prophet, saying, "The voice of one crying aloud in the wilderness, Prepare the way of the Lord, make his paths strait." ⁴ Now this John had his garment made of camel's hair, and a girdle of leather about his loins, and his food was locusts and wild honey. ⁵ Then went out to him Jerusalem and all Judea, and all the regions about Jordan, ⁶ and were baptized by him in Jordan, on making confession of their sins. ⁷ But when he saw many of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees coming to his baptism, he said to them, O ye broods of vipers! who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come? ⁸ Produce then worthy fruits of repentance: ⁹ and think not to say in yourselves, We have Abraham for our father: for I say unto you, that God is able out of these stones to raise up children to Abraham. ¹⁰ And now also the ax is laid to the root of the trees: every tree therefore which produceth not good fruit, is hewing down, and casting into the fire. ¹¹ I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that is coming after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry: he shall baptize you with the Holy Spirit, and with fire: ¹² whose winnowing fan is in his hand, and he will thoroughly cleanse his threshing floor, and will collect the wheat into his granary; but the chaff will he burn up with fire unquenchable.

² Then John, having heard in prison the works of Christ, sent two of his disciples, ³ and said unto him, Art thou he that cometh, or should we expect another? ⁴ And Jesus answering said unto them, Go, and tell John what things ye hear and see. ⁵ The blind receive sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the poor have the gospel preached to them. ⁶ And blessed is he whosoever shall not be offended at me. ⁷ And when they were gone, Jesus began to speak to the multitudes concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken with the wind? ⁸ But what went ye out to see? A man clothed in delicate garments? Lo! they who wear delicate garments are in the houses of kings. ⁹ Yet what went ye out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and abundantly more than a prophet. ¹⁰ For this is he of whom it is written, "Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee." ¹¹ Verily I say unto you, There hath not arisen, from those born of women, a greater than John the Baptist: yet he that is the least in the kingdom of God is greater than he. ¹² But from the days of John the Baptist unto the present, the kingdom of heaven is assaulted by violence, and the invaders forcibly seize upon it. ¹³ For all the prophets and the law until John, foretold [this]. ¹⁴ And if ye will receive it, this is Elias who was to come. ¹⁵ He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. ¹⁶ But to whom shall I resemble this generation? it is like little boys sitting in the places of concourse, and calling to their companions, ¹⁷ and saying, We have piped to you, and ye have not danced; we have sung mournful ditties to you, and ye have not beat your breasts. ¹⁸ For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He hath a devil:

²⁴ The Son of man indeed is departing, as it is written of him: but wo to that man, by whom the Son of man is betrayed! well had it been for that man if he had never had a being.

² as it is written in the prophets; "Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, he shall prepare thy way before thee. ³ The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare the way of the Lord, make his paths strait." ⁴ John was baptising in the wilderness, and preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins. ⁵ And all the country of Judea went out to him, and they of Jerusalem, and were all baptised by him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins. ⁶ Now John was clothed with a camel's hair garment, and a girdle of leather about his loins; and his meat was locusts and wild honey. ⁷ And he preached, saying, One mightier than I is coming after me, the string of whose shoes I am not worthy, stooping down, to unloose. ⁸ I indeed baptise you with water; but he shall baptise you with the Holy Ghost.

¹⁶ And many of the children of Israel shall he turn unto the Lord, their God. ¹⁷ And he shall go forth before him in the spirit and power of Elias, to convert the hearts of fathers with their children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to prepare a people ready for the Lord.

⁷⁶ And thou, child, shalt be called the prophet of the Most High; for thou shalt go before the face of the Lord to prepare his ways;

² when Annas and Caiaphas were high-priests, the word of God came to John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness; ³ and he came into all the country on the confines of Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins; ⁴ as it is written in the book of the words of the prophet Isaiah, saying, "The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths strait: ⁵ every valley shall be filled up, and every mountain and hill shall be levelled, and the crooked ways made strait, and the rough roads smooth: ⁶ and all flesh shall see the salvation of God."

¹¹ Then Herod with his guards treated him with contempt, and in derision clothed him in a splendid robe, and sent him back to Pilate.

³⁹ Then one of the suspended malefactors blasphemed him, saying, If thou art the Messiah, save thyself and us.

⁶ A man was sent from God, whose name was John. ⁷ He came for a witness, that he might bear testimony concerning the Light, that all men through him might believe. ⁸ He was not the Light, but sent that he should bear testimony concerning the Light. ⁹ He was that true Light, which illumines every man by his coming into the world. ¹⁰ He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. ¹¹ He came unto his peculiar people, and his peculiar people did not receive him. ¹² But as many as did receive him, on them he bestowed authority to become children of God, even on those who believe on his name: ¹³ who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. ¹⁴ And the Word became incarnate, and tabernacled with us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. ¹⁵ John bore witness concerning him, and cried, saying, This is he of whom I said, He that is coming after me, is before me: because before me he was. ¹⁶ And from his plenitude we all have received, even grace corresponding with [his] grace. ¹⁷ For the law was given by Moses, but the grace and the reality came by Jesus Christ. ¹⁸ No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, he hath thoroughly described him. ¹⁹ And this is the testimony of John, when the Jews sent from Jerusalem priests and Levites, that they should question him, Who art thou? ²⁰ And he confessed, and denied it not; but acknowledged, I am not the Messiah. ²¹ And they asked him, What then? art thou Elias? and he said, I am not. Art thou that prophet? and he answered, No. ²² Then said they to him, Who art thou? that we may give an answer to those who sent us: What description givest thou of thyself? ²³ He said, I am a voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way for the Lord, as said the prophet Isaiah. ²⁴ And they who were sent, were of the Pharisees. ²⁵ And they questioned him, and said to him, Why then dost thou baptise, if thou be not the Messiah, nor Elias, nor that prophet? ²⁶ John answered them, saying, I baptise with water: but in the midst of you hath stood a person, whom ye have not known; ²⁷ it is he, though coming after me, who was before me, the thong of whole sandal I am not worthy to untie. ²⁸ These things were done in Bethabara beyond Jordan, where John was baptising. ²⁹ The next day John seeth Jesus coming to him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, who taketh away the sin of the world, ³⁰ This is he of whom I spake, After me cometh a man who was before me: for before me he existed. ³¹ And I knew him not: though that he might be manifested to Israel, therefore am I come baptising with water. ³² And John bore witness, saying, I saw the Spirit descending as a dove from heaven, and it rested upon him. ³³ And I did not know him: but he that sent me baptising with water, he said to me, Upon whomsoever thou shalt see the Spirit descending as a dove, and resting upon him, that is he who baptiseth with the Holy Ghost. ³⁴ And I have seen it, and have borne testimony that this is the Son of God. ³⁵ On the morrow John was again standing with two of his disciples; ³⁶ and looking upon Jesus as he walked by, he saith, Behold the Lamb of God!

²⁷ John answered and said, A man cannot assume any thing, except it be given him from heaven. ²⁸ Ye yourselves bear me witness, that I said, I am not the Messiah, but that I am sent before him. ²⁹ It is the bridegroom, who possesses the bride: and the friend of the bridegroom, standing by and hearing him, rejoiceth exceedingly at the bridegroom's voice: this my joy therefore is fulfilled. ³⁰ He must grow great, but I diminutive.

³ For Herod having seized John, had bound him, and put him in prison, for the sake of Herodias, the wife of Philip his brother. ⁴ For John said unto him, It is unlawful for thee to have her. ⁵ And though he wished to kill him, he was afraid of the multitude, for they held him as a prophet. ⁶ But when Herod's birth-day was kept, the daughter of Herodias danced in the circle, and pleased Herod: ⁷ so that with an oath he promised to give her whatever she should ask. ⁸ And she, being previously urged on by her mother, said, Give me here, in a spacious dish, the head of John the Baptist. ⁹ And the king was grieved: but for his oath's sake, and on account of those who were with him, he commanded it to be given her. ¹⁰ And he sent, and beheaded John in the prison. ¹¹ And his head was brought on a large dish, and was given to the young lady: and she brought it to her mother.

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. ¹⁷ For Herod himself had sent and seized upon John, and bound him in prison, for Herodias' sake, his brother Philip's wife; because he had married her. ¹⁸ For John said to Herod, It is not lawful for thee to have thy brother's wife. ¹⁹ Therefore Herodias bore him a rooted resentment, and would have slain him; yet could not: ²⁰ for Herod feared John, knowing him to be a righteous and holy man; and paid great attention to him and when he heard him, did many things, and heard him with delight. ²¹ And a favourable day being come for her purpose, when Herod on his birth-day made a supper for his nobles, and military commanders, and the principal personages of Galilee; ²² and the daughter of this Herodias coming in, and dancing, and delighting Herod, and his company, the king said to the damsel, Ask me whatsoever thou wilt, and I will give it thee. ²³ And he swore unto her, That whatsoever thou shalt ask, I will give thee, even to the half of my kingdom. ²⁴ Then she went out and said to her mother, What shall I ask? and she said, The head of John the Baptist. ²⁵ And she came in immediately with eagerness to the king, and asked, saying, I desire that thou wilt give me on the spot, in a charger, the head of John the Baptist. ²⁶ And the king was exceedingly sorry; yet on account of his oath, and those who sat with him, he would not refuse her. ²⁷ And the king immediately sending a centinel, commanded his head to be brought thither: and he went, and beheaded him in the prison, ²⁸ and brought his head in a charger, and gave it to the damsel, and the damsel gave it to her mother.

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

¹⁹ Now Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him, on account of Herodias his brother Philip's wife, and for all the other wicked actions which he had done, ²⁰ added this also to all the rest, and shut up John in prison.

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:

¹⁴ And when they were come to the multitude, there came to him a man, kneeling down to him, and saying, ¹⁵ Lord, have compassion on my son, for he is a lunatic, and suffers grievously; for oftentimes he falleth into the fire, and often into the water. ¹⁶ And I brought him to thy disciples, and they have not been able to cure him. ¹⁷ Then Jesus answering, said, O generation, faithless, and perverse! how long shall I be with you? how long shall I bear with you? bring him hither to me. ¹⁸ And Jesus rebuked him, and the devil came out of him; and the child was cured from that hour. ¹⁹ Then the disciples of Jesus coming privately, said, Why could not we cast it out? ²⁰ Then said Jesus unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard, ye shall say to this mountain, Remove from hence, thither, and it will remove; and nothing will be impossible for you.

⁶ Now there were certain of the scribes sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts,

²⁸ and say to him, By what authority doest thou these things? and who gave thee this authority, that thou shouldest do these things?

¹⁴ And they come and say to him, Master, we know that thou art true, and carest not for any man: for thou regardest not the person of men, but teachest the way of God in truth: Is it lawful to pay tribute to Caesar, or not?

³⁷ And it came to pass, on the next day, when they came down from the mountain, a great multitude met him. ³⁸ And, behold, a man from among the multitude cried out aloud, saying, Master, I pray thee, look upon my son; for he is my only begotten. ³⁹ And, behold! a spirit taketh him, and suddenly he crieth out, and convulseth him, with foaming; and bruising him, with difficulty retires from him. ⁴⁰ And I besought thy disciples that they would cast him out, and they could not. ⁴¹ Then Jesus answering, said, O faithless and perverse generation! how long shall I be with you, how long shall I bear with you? bring hither thy son. ⁴² And while he was yet approaching the devil threw him down, and violently convulsed him. Then Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and cured the child; and restored him to his father.

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.

³ Consider then attentively him that endured from sinners such opposition against himself, that ye be not wearied out, fainting in your souls.

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

¹¹ Then the Pharisees came out, and began to question him, seeking of him a sign from heaven, tempting him.

³⁰ And their scribes and Pharisees murmured against his disciples, saying, Why do ye eat and drink with publicans and sinners? ³¹ And Jesus answering said unto them, They who are well, have no need of a physician: but they who have illness. ³² I came not to call righteous men, but sinners, to repentance.

²² Then was brought to him a demoniac, blind and dumb; and he cured him, so as to enable the blind and dumb both to speak and see.

¹⁵ Lord, have compassion on my son, for he is a lunatic, and suffers grievously; for oftentimes he falleth into the fire, and often into the water.

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.

²⁶ The woman was a Greek, a Syrophenician by birth, and she entreated him that the devil might be cast out of her daughter.

²⁵ Then Jesus, seeing that the multitude were running up to him, rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to him, Thou dumb and deaf spirit, I command thee, come out of him, and enter into him no more.

¹³ And they brought unto him little children, that he should touch them: but his disciples rebuked those who brought them.

³⁸ And, behold, a man from among the multitude cried out aloud, saying, Master, I pray thee, look upon my son; for he is my only begotten.

¹⁴ And he was casting out a devil, and it was dumb. And it came to pass, when the devil was gone out, the dumb person spake, and the people marvelled.

⁴⁷ This person having heard that Jesus was come out of Judea into Galilee, went to him, that he might come down, and cure his son: for he was at the point of death.

¹² But the children of the kingdom shall be cast into the outer darkness: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.

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

¹⁶ And I brought him to thy disciples, and they have not been able to cure him.

²⁰ And they brought him unto him. And seeing him, instantly the spirit threw him into convulsions; and falling to the ground, he rolled about, foaming at the mouth.

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

²⁸ And when he was come into the house, the disciples asked him privately, Why could not we cast it out? ²⁹ And he said to them, this kind can be driven out by nothing but prayer and fasting.

²³ For verily I say to you, That whosoever shall say to this mountain, Be thou lifted up, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall harbour no doubt in his heart, but believe that what he saith shall come to pass; whatsoever he may speak shall be done for him.

³⁹ And, behold! a spirit taketh him, and suddenly he crieth out, and convulseth him, with foaming; and bruising him, with difficulty retires from him. ⁴⁰ And I besought thy disciples that they would cast him out, and they could not.

⁵⁴ Now when they heard these things, they were cut through their hearts as with a saw, and gnashed upon him with their teeth.

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.

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

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.

⁴¹ Then Jesus answering, said, O faithless and perverse generation! how long shall I be with you, how long shall I bear with you? bring hither thy son.

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

²⁷ Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour: but for this cause came I unto this hour.

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.

¹⁰ Wherefore I was provoked against that generation, and said, They are always deluded in heart, and they have not known my ways: ¹¹ so I swore in my wrath that they shall not enter into my rest. ¹² Take heed, brethren, that there be not in any one of you a wicked heart of infidelity, [evident] in departure from the living God:

²⁶ And the unclean spirit threw him into convulsions, and crying with a loud voice, came out of him.

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

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

³⁵ And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Stop thy mouth, and come out of him. And the devil throwing him down into the midst, came out of him, doing him no injury.

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

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

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

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

²⁵ And a certain woman, having a flux of blood twelve years,

⁴³ And a woman, who had a flux of blood, for twelve years, who had spent all her substance on physicians, and could not get a cure from any;

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

⁵ And there was a certain man there, who had a complaint of thirty years standing. ⁶ Jesus seeing him laid there, and knowing that he had been so for a long while, saith to him, Wilt thou be made sound?

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

²⁰ His parents answered them and said, We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind: ²¹ but how he now seeth, we know not; or who hath opened his eyes, we know not: he is of age; ask him: he himself will tell you about it.

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

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

³³ And found there a certain man named AEneas, during six years stretched on a bed, who was paralytic.

⁸ And there was a certain man at Lystra, who having lost the use of his feet was sitting, being lame from his mother's womb, and who had never been able to walk:

² And lo! a leper came and worshipped him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.

⁸ And the centurion said, I am not a fit person, that thou shouldest come under my roof: but only speak a word, and my servant be cured. ⁹ For I also am a man under authority, having under my command soldiers and I say to this soldier, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it.

²⁸ So when he came into the house, the blind men came to him: and Jesus said to them, Believe ye that I am able to do this? They said unto him, Yes, Lord.

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

²² And lo! a woman of Canaan coming out of these coasts, cried aloud, saying to him, Have mercy on me, Lord, Son of David: my daughter is a grievous demoniac. 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. ²⁴ But he said in reply, I am not sent, save only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. ²⁵ Then she came, and worshiped him, saying, Lord, help me! ²⁶ But he answering said, It is not proper to take the children's bread and throw it to the dogs. ²⁷ And she said, True, Lord: yet even the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their master's table. ²⁸ Then Jesus answering said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith! be it unto thee even as thou desirest. And her daughter was cured from that hour.

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

⁴⁰ And there came to him a leper, beseeching him, and kneeling down to him, and saying unto him, If thou wilt, thou canst make me clean. ⁴¹ Then Jesus, moved with compassion, stretching out his hand, touched him, and said to him, I will; be thou cleansed. ⁴² And as he spake, the leprosy instantly departed from him, and he was cleansed.

¹⁹ But Jesus did not permit him, but said to him, Go to thine house, and to thy friends, and tell them how great things the Lord hath done for thee, and hath had compassion on thee.

¹³ And when Jesus saw her, he was moved with compassion for her, and said unto her, Weep not.

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

²¹ But Jesus addressing them, said, Verily I tell you, if ye have faith, and entertain no doubt, not only shall ye do what is done to the fig-tree, but if ye should even say to this mountain, Be lifted up, and be cast into the sea, it be done. ²² And all things whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.

⁶ And the Lord said, If ye had faith as a grain of mustard, ye might say to that sycamore-tree, Be rooted up, and be planted in the sea; and it would obey you.

⁴⁸ Then said Jesus unto him, Unless ye see miracles and wonders, ye will not believe. ⁴⁹ The courtier said to him, Sir, come down before my child is dead. ⁵⁰ Jesus saith to him, Go home; thy son liveth. And the man believed the word which Jesus had spoken, and went home.

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

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

⁶ But without faith it is impossible to be acceptable; for he must believe, who cometh unto God, that he exists, and is a rewarder of those who diligently seek him.

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

⁴⁴ So turning to the woman, he said to Simon, Thou seest this woman? I came into thine house, even water for my feet thou gavest not; but she hath washed my feet with her tears, and wiped them with the hairs of her head.

⁵ And the disciples said unto the Lord, increase our faith.

¹⁹ But while Peter was musing upon the vision, the Spirit said to him, Lo! three men are inquiring after thee.

³¹ and said, Cornelius, thy prayer is heard, and thy alms are remembered before God.

⁴ For out of much affliction and anguish of heart I wrote unto you with many tears, not that ye should be grieved, but that ye might know the love which I have more abundantly towards you.

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

²⁹ For this favour on the part of Christ is granted you, not only that ye should believe on him, but also that ye should suffer for his sake;

³ We are bound to give thanks to God always for you, brethren, as it is fit, because your faith groweth exceedingly, and the love of every one of you all towards each other aboundeth:

¹¹ Wherefore also we pray continually for you, that our God would count you worthy of the calling, and fulfil all the good pleasure of his goodness, and the work of faith with power:

⁴ earnestly desiring to see thee, remembering thy tears, that I might be filled with joy;

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

² 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.

¹⁷ For ye know, that when afterwards he wished to inherit the blessing, he was rejected: for he found no place for a change of [his father's] mind, though he sought it earnestly with tears.

³² And when they were coming out, behold, they brought unto him a man, dumb, a demoniac. ³³ And when the devil was cast out, the dumb man spoke: and the multitudes marvelled, saying, Never at any time was the like to this seen in Israel.

¹⁸ And Jesus rebuked him, and the devil came out of him; and the child was cured from that hour.

²⁵ And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Be silent, and come out of him. ²⁶ And the unclean spirit threw him into convulsions, and crying with a loud voice, came out of him. ²⁷ And they were all in astonishment, so that they questioned one another, saying, What is this? what is this new doctrine? that with authority he commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey him?

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

¹⁵ And immediately all the multitude, when they beheld him, were struck with amazement, and coming to him, saluted 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.

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.

⁹ Though Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil, he disputed about the body of Moses, dared not to produce a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee.

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

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

⁴¹ Then Jesus, moved with compassion, stretching out his hand, touched him, and said to him, I will; be thou cleansed.

⁴¹ And taking the hand of the damsel, he saith unto her, Talitha cumi! which is, being interpreted, Damsel, I say unto thee, arise!

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

⁷ And taking him by the right hand, he raised him up: and immediately his feet and ancles were restored to strength.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

²⁶ Then goeth he, and taketh seven other spirits, more wicked than himself; and they entering in, take up their abode there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first.

⁴⁰ But Peter putting them all out, fell upon his knees, and prayed; and turning to the body, said, Tabitha, arise! And she opened her eyes: and when she saw Peter, she sat up. ⁴¹ Then he gave her his hand, and raised her up; and calling in the saints and the widows, presented her to them alive.

²³ Then appointing them presbyters in every city, by prayer with fastings they commended them to the Lord, on whom they had believed.

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

⁵ in stripes, in imprisonments, in tumults, in labours, in watchings, in fastings,

²⁷ in labour and travail, in watchings often, in fastings frequently, in hunger and thirst, in cold and nakedness;

⁸ For this thrice I besought the Lord, that he might depart from me.

¹⁸ praying at every opportunity with all prayer and supplication in Spirit, and watching for this very purpose with perseverance and intercession for all the saints;

¹⁵ and the prayer of faith shall recover the sick man, and the Lord will raise him up; and if he hath committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.

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.

²² Pilate saith unto them, What then shall I do with Jesus, who is called the Messiah? They all say to him, Let him be crucified. ²³ The governor replied, But what evil hath he done? They cried out with greater vehemence, saying, Let him be crucified.

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. ³² And they went into a desert place in a vessel privately.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

³¹ Then taking aside the twelve, he said to them, Lo, we are going up to Jerusalem, and all things written by the prophets concerning the Son of man will be fulfilled. ³² For he shall be delivered up to the Gentiles, and they shall insult him, and treat him with indignity, and spit upon him: ³³ and after scourging, shall slay him: and the third day he shall rise again.

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. ⁴⁵ Then opened he thoroughly their understanding, that they should understand the scriptures, ⁴⁶ and said to them, That thus it is written, and thus must the Messiah suffer, and rise again from the dead the third day

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

¹⁴ And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, in like manner must the Son of man be lifted up:

¹⁸ No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment I have received from my Father.

²³ him, by the destined counsel and foreknowledge of God delivered up, ye have seized, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain: ²⁴ whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death: forasmuch as it was not possible that he should be held thereby.

²⁷ For they have been in truth collected together against thy holy Son Jesus, whom thou hast anointed, even Herod, and Pontius Pilate, with the heathen, and the people of Israel, ²⁸ to do all that thy hand and thy counsel predestined should come to pass.

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

¹⁸ And he saith to them, Are ye also so defective of intelligence? Do you not consider, that every thing from without that entereth into a man, cannot make him unclean?

¹⁷ And Jesus knowing it said unto them, Why reason ye together, because ye have no loaves? Do ye not yet consider, nor understand? Have ye your heart yet hardened? ¹⁸ Having eyes, do ye not see? and having ears, do ye not hear? and do ye not remember?

³³ But he turned himself around, and seeing his disciples, he rebuked Peter, saying, Get thee behind me, Satan: for thou dost not relish the things which are of God, but those that are of men.

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

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

⁴⁵ And they understood not that declaration, and it was hid from them, that they should not comprehend its meaning: and they were afraid to ask him concerning that saying.

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

⁴⁵ Then opened he thoroughly their understanding, that they should understand the scriptures,

²⁷ And upon this came his disciples, and wondered that he talked with the woman: yet no one said, What art thou seeking? or, Why art thou talking with her?

¹⁹ Now Jesus knew that they were desirous to ask him, and said unto them, Are ye questioning among yourselves concerning this declaration, which I spake, A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again a little while, and ye shall see me?

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

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

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?

⁴⁶ Then a dispute sprang up among them, which of them should be the greatest. ⁴⁷ But Jesus knowing the reasoning of their hearts, took a little boy, and set him by his side, ⁴⁸ and said unto them, Whosoever shall receive this little child in my name, receiveth me; and whosoever receiveth me, receiveth Him that sent me: for he who is the least among you all, he shall be great.

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

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.

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.

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.

²¹ Then he said to her, What is thy wish? She saith unto him, Tell me that these my two sons shall sit, the one at thy right hand, and the other at thy left, in thy kingdom. ²² Then Jesus answering said, Ye know not what ye ask. Can ye drink of the cup that I am going to drink, and be baptised with the baptism with which I am baptised? They say unto him, We are able. ²³ And he saith unto them, Ye shall indeed drink of my cup, and with the baptism with which I am baptised, shall ye be baptised; but to sit on my right hand, and on my left, it is not in my power to bestow, but on those, for whom it was prepared by my Father. ²⁴ And the twelve, on hearing this, were filled with indignation against the two brethren.

⁵⁰ Salt is good: but if the salt become insipid, with what will you season it? have salt in yourselves, and live in peace with each other.

²⁴ Now it came to pass, that there was also a contention among them, even which of them should be accounted to be the greatest. ²⁵ And he said to them, The kings of the Gentiles lord it over them; and they who exercise authority over them are called benefactors. ²⁶ But ye shall not act thus: but the superior among you, let him be as the junior; and he that presideth, as he that serveth. ²⁷ For which is the greater, he that sitteth at table, or he that waits? is not he that sitteth at table? but I am in the midst of you as he that serveth. ²⁸ Ye are they who have continued with me during my trials. ²⁹ And I appoint you, as my Father hath appointed me, a kingdom; ³⁰ that ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and be seated on thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

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

³ Let nothing be done contentiously or vain-gloriously; but in humility reckoning others superior to yourselves. ⁴ Let not each aim at their own particular interests, but every man at those of others. ⁵ Let the same sentiment of mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: ⁶ who being in the form of God counted it no usurpation to claim equality with God: ⁷ but emptied himself, assuming the form of a servant, made after the similitude of mortal men;

³ not as domineering over your allotted congregations, but as being examples of the flock.

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

²⁵ But Jesus, calling them to him, said, Ye know that the princes of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great men exercise authority among them. ²⁶ But thus shall it not be with you. But whosoever will be a great man among you, let him be your servant; ²⁷ and whosoever will be first, let him be your slave. ²⁸ Even as the Son of man came not to be waited upon, but to serve, and to give his life a ransom for many.

¹¹ But he who is greatest among you shall be your servant.

⁴² But Jesus called them, and said to them, Ye know that they who appear to rule over the Gentiles, lord it over them; and their great men exercise dominion over them. ⁴³ But it shall not be so with you: but whosoever will be great among you let him be your servant: ⁴⁴ and whosoever will be first, let him be the servant of all. ⁴⁵ For the Son of man came not to be waited upon, but to be a servant, and to give his life a ransom for many.

¹⁰ But when thou art invited, go and sit down in the lowest place; that when he who invited thee comes, he may say to thee, Friend, go up higher; then shalt thou have respect in the presence of those who are seated with thee. ¹¹ For every one who exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.

¹⁴ I say to you, Went this man down to his house justified, or the other? for every one who exalteth himself shall be humbled; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.

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

⁶ But he giveth mightier grace. Wherefore he saith, "God sets himself against the proud, but giveth grace to the lowly."

² And Jesus calling a little boy, set him in the midst of them,

¹⁴ Then said Jesus, Permit little children, and hinder them not from coming to me; for of such is the kingdom of heaven. ¹⁵ And when he had laid his hands upon them, he departed thence.

¹⁶ And he took them in his arms, and laying his hand upon them, gave them his benediction.

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

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

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.

⁴⁸ and said unto them, Whosoever shall receive this little child in my name, receiveth me; and whosoever receiveth me, receiveth Him that sent me: for he who is the least among you all, he shall be great.

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

²³ in order that all may honour the Son, just as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son, doth not honour the Father who sent him.

³⁰ I and my Father are one.

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

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

⁴⁹ Then John addressing him said, Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name, and we forbad him, because he followed not with us. ⁵⁰ And Jesus said to him, Forbid him not; for he that is not against us, is for us.

¹⁹ But if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your sons cast them out? therefore they shall be your judges.

²² Many will say unto me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have we not cast out devils? and in thy name done many miracles? ²³ And then will I profess unto them, that I never knew you: depart from me, ye workers of iniquity.

²⁸ He saith unto them, Some man, an enemy, hath done this. Then the servants said to him, Wilt thou that we go and weed them out? ²⁹ he replied, No; lest perhaps in weeding out the zizane, we root up the wheat with them.

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

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.

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

¹ THOUGH I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am become as sounding brass, and tinkling cymbal. ² And though I have the gift of prophecy, and know all mysteries, and all manner of science; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.

¹⁸ What then? if Christ is preached in whatever manner it be, whether in pretext or reality, even in this do I rejoice, yea, and will rejoice.

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

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

⁴² And whosoever shall give to one of these little ones, if but a cup of cold water to drink, in the name of a disciple, verily I say unto you, he shall in no wise lose his reward.

²⁵ Now beside the cross of Jesus stood his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Cleopas, and Mary Magdalene. ²⁶ When Jesus then beheld his mother, and the disciple whom he loved, standing by, he saith to his mother, Woman, behold thy son! ²⁷ Then saith he to the disciple, Behold thy mother! And from that hour the disciple took her unto his own home.

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

¹⁵ But if by meat thy brother is grieved, thou walkest no more according to love. Do not by thy meat destroy him for whom Christ died.

²³ and ye are Christ's; and Christ is God's.

²³ But every one in his own rank: Christ the first-fruit; afterwards those that are Christ's at his appearing.

⁷ Regard ye the things that are personal? If any man is confident in himself that he is Christ's, let him reflect again in himself, that as he is Christ's, so are we Christ's.

²⁹ But if ye are Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.

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

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

⁴⁵ Then shall he reply to them, saying, For as much as ye have not done it to one of the least of these, neither have ye done it to me. ⁴⁶ And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.

¹ THEN he said to his disciples, It is impossible that offences should not come; but wo to him through whom they come! ² It would be advantageous for him, if a milstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea, rather than offend one of these little ones.

⁴ and falling on the ground, he heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?

¹¹ And in every synagogue oftentimes punishing them, I compelled them to blaspheme; and being exceedingly maddened with rage against them, I persecuted them even to the cities that are without. ¹² In which pursuits, even as I was going to Damascus with authority and a commission from the chief priests, ¹³ at midday, O king, I saw on the road a light from heaven, beyond the splendour of the sun, shining around myself and those who were travelling with me. ¹⁴ And as we were all fallen prostrate on the earth, I heard a voice speaking to me, and saving in the Hebrew tongue, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? it is difficult for thee to kick against the goads.

¹³ Let us therefore no more judge one another; but judge this rather, that no one put a stumbling-block or offence before his brother.

²¹ but as it is written, "To whom the tidings concerning him have not reached, they shall see, and they who have not heard, shall understand."

¹⁷ Now I beseech you, brethren, keep a sharp eye over those who cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine ye have learned, and turn away from them.

¹⁰ For if any man see thee that hast knowledge, sitting in an idol's temple, shall not the conscience of him who is weak be emboldened to eat what is sacrificed to idols? ¹¹ And the weak brother will be destroyed by thy knowledge, for whom Christ died. ¹² But when ye sin so against the brethren, and wound their weak conscience, ye sin against Christ. 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.

³² Give no occasion of stumbling either to the Jews or the Gentiles, or the church of God: ³³ even as I please all men, not seeking my own advantage, but that of the many, that they may be saved.

³ Giving no offence in any thing, that the ministry be not blamed:

¹⁰ that ye may prove the things that are excellent, in order that ye may be sincere and without offence unto the day of Christ;

⁶ seeing it is a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you; ⁷ and to you who are troubled, rest with us, at the revelation of the Lord Jesus Christ from heaven with his mighty angels, ⁸ in a flame of fire, taking vengeance of them that know not God, and obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: ⁹ who shall receive punishment, even eternal perdition, from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power:

¹⁴ I would therefore have the younger widows to marry, bear children, govern their house, give no occasion to the adversary to bring a reproach on them.

² And many will go out of the way after their fatal errors; by means of whom the way of truth will be injuriously reviled.

⁹ And when he opened the fifth seal I saw underneath the altar the souls of those who had been slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they maintained. ¹⁰ And they cried with a loud voice, How long will it be, O sovereign, the holy one and the true, ere thou judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?

⁶ For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets, and thou hast given them blood to drink; for they are worthy. ⁷ And I heard another angel from the altar saying, Yea, Lord God Almighty, true and just are thy judgments.

¹² whose winnowing fan is in his hand, and he will thoroughly cleanse his threshing floor, and will collect the wheat into his granary; but the chaff will he burn up with fire unquenchable.

²² but I say unto you, That every man who is angry with his brother without cause, shall be liable to the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be liable to the sanhedrim: but whosever shall say, Thou fool, shall be liable to be cast into hell fire.

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.

³⁰ And great multitudes came to him, bringing with them the lame, blind, dumb, cripples, and many others, and cast them down at the feet of Jesus; and he cured them all: ³¹ insomuch that the multitude marvelled when they saw the dumb speaking, the cripples sound, the lame walking, and the blind restored to sight: and they glorified the God of Israel.

⁸ If then thy hand, or thy foot, lead thee to offend, cut them off, and cast them from thee: for it were better for thee to enter into life, halting or maimed, than having two hands or two feet to be cast into the fire, which is eternal. ⁹ And if thine eye lead thee to offend, pluck it out and cast it from thee, for it were better for thee to enter into life with one eye only, than having two eyes to be cast into hell-fire.

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:

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.

¹³ But when thou makest an entertainment, invite the poor, the maimed, the halt, the blind:

²¹ And that servant returning, informed his master of these things. Then the master of the family, being highly incensed, said to his servant, Go out instantly into the streets and alleys of the city, and bring in hither the poor, and the maimed, and the halt, and the blind.

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

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

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

¹ THEREFORE also seeing we have so great a cloud of witnesses surrounding us, laying aside every weight, and that most easily besetting sin, let us run with patience the race lying before us,

¹ WHEREFORE putting far away wickedness of every kind, and all deceit, and hypocrisies, and envyings, and all backbitings,

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

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:

⁴⁸ where the worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.

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

¹⁰ he also shall drink of the wine of the fury of God, which is mixed undiluted with water in the cup of his wrath; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: ¹¹ and the smoke of their torment ascendeth for ever and ever: and they have no respite day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the brand of his name.

¹⁰ And the devil who deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and they shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.

¹⁵ And if any one was not found inscribed on the book of life, he was cast into the lake of fire.

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

⁸ If then thy hand, or thy foot, lead thee to offend, cut them off, and cast them from thee: for it were better for thee to enter into life, halting or maimed, than having two hands or two feet to be cast into the fire, which is eternal.

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:

²⁴ And crying out, he said, Father Abraham, have compassion on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented with this flame. ²⁵ But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou hast received thy good things during thy life, and Lazarus, in like manner, what was afflictive: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented. ²⁶ And besides all these considerations, between us and you there is a vast chasm fixed: so that they who might be willing to pass from hence to you, cannot; neither can they pass through to us, from thence.

²⁸ but I say unto you, That every one who looketh upon a woman to lust after her, hath already committed adultery with her in his heart. 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.

³⁷ He that loveth father or mother more than me, is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me, is not worthy of me. ³⁸ And he that taketh not up his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me. ³⁹ He that preserveth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall preserve it.

⁹ And if thine eye lead thee to offend, pluck it out and cast it from thee, for it were better for thee to enter into life with one eye only, than having two eyes to be cast into hell-fire.

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.

¹⁵ What then was your blessedness, for I bear witness to you that, if it were possible, ye would have plucked out your eyes, and given them to me.

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,

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:

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

³⁴ But they held their peace. For they had been disputing with each other on the road, which was the greatest.

³⁴ Salt is good: but if the salt become insipid, by what shall it be seasoned? ³⁵ It is neither fit for the land, nor for manure; but they cast it out. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

³⁴ A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; even as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. ³⁵ By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.

¹⁷ These things I command you, that ye love one another. ¹⁸ If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before you.

¹⁸ If possible, as far as you can, be at peace with all men.

¹⁷ For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink, but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost. ¹⁸ For he who in these things is the servant of Christ, is acceptable to God, and approved of men. ¹⁹ Well then, let us earnestly pursue the things that conduce to peace, and the things which are for mutual edification.

¹¹ Finally, brethren, rejoice: be perfectly united together, be comforted, be of one mind, live in peace; and the God of love and peace shall be with you.

¹⁴ For the whole law is fulfilled in one word, even in this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. ¹⁵ But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed by one another.

²² But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, fidelity,

² with all humility and meekness, with long suffering, forbearing one another in love; 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.

²⁹ Let no loose discourse proceed out of your mouth, but whatever is good for useful edification, that it may communicate grace to the hearers.

³¹ Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and scandal, be removed from you, with all malice: ³² but be ye kind one to another, full of sensibility, forgiving mutually, even as God in Christ hath forgiven you.

²⁷ Only conduct yourselves worthily as becometh the gospel of Christ; that whether I come and see you, or else be absent, I may hear of your affairs, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one soul wrestling together in the faith of the gospel;

¹ IF there be then any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any communion of spirit, if any bowels and compassions, ² fulfil ye my joy, that ye may be united in sentiment, having the same love, of one soul, of one mind. ³ Let nothing be done contentiously or vain-gloriously; but in humility reckoning others superior to yourselves.

¹² Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humility, meekness, long-suffering;

⁶ Let your discourse be always gracious, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to reply to every man.

¹³ and to account of them very highly in love for their work's sake. And live in peace among yourselves.

²² But flee youthful passions, and pursue righteousness, faith, love, peace, with those who call upon the Lord out of a pure heart.

¹⁴ Earnestly seek peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord:

²⁰ For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.

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

⁸ Finally, be all like-minded, sympathizing, loving fraternally, compassionate, friendly hearted,
