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.

²⁸ Father, glorify thy name! Then came a voice from heaven, I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again. ²⁹ The multitude that stood by, and heard it, said that it was thunder: others said, An angel hath spoken to him. ³⁰ Jesus answered and said, This voice came not for my sake, but for your's.

⁶ to the praise of the glory of his grace, whereby he hath made us acceptable in that beloved one;

¹³ who hath plucked us out from the dominion of darkness, and transferred us into the kingdom of the Son of his love:

¹ GOD, who spake to the fathers of old at various times, and in different manners by the prophets, ² in these last days hath spoken to us by a Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;

¹ FOR this reason we ought to attend more diligently to the things which have been heard, lest by any means we let them flow by us. ² For if the discourse spoken by angels was confirmed, and every transgression and disobedience received a just punishment as its due, ³ how shall we escape if we neglect so great salvation, which, commencing at the beginning to be spoken by the Lord, was confirmed unto us by those who had heard him;

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

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

²⁷ And immediately Jesus spake to them, saying, Be of good courage: it is I; be not terrified.

⁵ and when they were exceedingly terrified, and inclined their face to the earth, they said unto them, Why seek ye the living among the dead?

⁶ And trembling and amazed he said, Lord, what wilt thou have me to do? And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do.

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

⁸ And instantly looking round, they saw no man any longer with them, but Jesus only.

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

²³ and they shall kill him, and the third day he shall rise again. And they were grieved exceedingly.

³⁰ And he strictly enjoined them, that they should tell no man of this.

⁵⁶ And her parents were struck with amazement. But he enjoined them to tell no man what was done.

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

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.

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

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

⁴⁷ Then some of those who stood there, hearing him, said, This man is calling out for Elias. ⁴⁸ And immediately one of them, running, and taking a sponge, and filling it with vinegar, and fastening it to a pole, put it to him to drink. ⁴⁹ The others said, Let him alone, let us see whether Elias will come to save him.

¹¹ And they asked him, saying, Why say the scribes, that Elias must come first?

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

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?

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.

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." ⁷ He said, therefore, to the multitudes who came out to be baptised by him, Ye broods of vipers, who hath warned you to fly from the approaching wrath? ⁸ Produce then fruits worthy of repentance, and begin not to say in yourselves, We have a father, even Abraham; for I say unto you, That God is able out of these stones to raise up children to Abraham. ⁹ But now is the ax laid even to the root of the trees; every tree therefore that produceth not good fruit, is cut down and cast into the fire. ¹⁰ And the multitudes asked him, saying, What then shall we do? ¹¹ And he answering said to them, He that hath two coats, let him give to him that hath none; and he that hath provisions, let him do in like manner. ¹² Then came also the farmers of the taxes to be baptised, and they said unto him, Master, what shall we do? ¹³ He said unto them, Exact nothing more than is appointed for you. ¹⁴ And the military men also asked him, And what shall we do? And he said unto them, Extort nothing by force; nor turn informers; and be content with your pay.

²¹ whom the heaven indeed must receive, until the times of restoration of all things, which God hath spoken of by the mouth of all his holy prophets from the beginning of the world.

² Then John, having heard in prison the works of Christ, sent two of his disciples,

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.

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.

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.

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? ²⁴ Then Jesus answering, said to them, I also will ask you one question, which if ye answer me, then will I tell you by what authority I do these things. ²⁵ The baptism of John whence was it? from heaven, or from men? Hereupon they reasoned among themselves, saying, If we reply, From heaven, he will say to us, Why then did ye not believe him?

³² For John came unto you in the way of righteousness, and ye believed him not: but the tax-gatherers and harlots believed on him. But ye, when ye saw it, repented not afterwards, that ye should believe on him.

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.

³⁰ The baptism of John, was it of heaven, or of men? answer me. ³¹ And they reasoned among themselves, saying, If we reply, From heaven; he will say, Why then did ye not believe him? ³² but if we say of men—they feared the people: for all men held John to be in truth a prophet.

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.

³³ For John the Baptist came neither eating bread, nor drinking wine; and ye say, He hath a devil.

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

¹¹ He came unto his peculiar people, and his peculiar people did not receive him.

³² There is another who beareth witness of me, and I know that his witness is true which he witnesseth concerning me. ³³ Ye sent to John, and he bore testimony to the truth. ³⁴ But I receive not testimony from man: but I speak these things, that ye may believe. ³⁵ He was a lamp glowing and luminous: and ye were pleased for a time to exult in his light. ³⁶ But I have a testimony greater than that of John: for the works which the Father hath given me that I should fulfil them, these very works which I am doing, they bear witness of me, that the Father hath sent me.

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

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.

¹⁰ be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarean, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, by him doth this man stand here sound in your presence.

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:

²⁴ John having preached before his first coming the baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel. ²⁵ But as John was finishing his course, he said, Whom do ye suppose me to be? I am not [the Messiah]. But, behold! he is coming after me, the sandals of whose feet I am not worthy to loose. ²⁶ Men and brethren, children of the race of Abraham, and all among you who fear God, to you is the word of this salvation sent. ²⁷ For they who dwell at Jerusalem, and their rulers, being ignorant of him, and the words of the prophets that are read every sabbath-day, by condemning him have fulfilled them. ²⁸ And though they found no cause of death in him, they besought Pilate that he might be killed.

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?

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.

¹⁴ And when he came to his disciples, he saw a great crowd around them, and the scribes disputing with them. ¹⁵ And immediately all the multitude, when they beheld him, were struck with amazement, and coming to him, saluted him. ¹⁶ And he asked the scribes, What are ye disputing about among yourselves? ¹⁷ And one of the people addressing him, said, Master, I have brought my son to thee, who hath a dumb spirit; ¹⁸ and wherever he seizeth him, he throws him into strong convulsions: and he foams at the mouth, and grinds his teeth, and pines away. And I spoke to thy disciples, that they should cast him out; and they were unable. ¹⁹ Then addressing him, he said, O faithless generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I bear with you? bring him to me. ²⁰ And they brought him unto him. And seeing him, instantly the spirit threw him into convulsions; and falling to the ground, he rolled about, foaming at the mouth. ²¹ And he asked his father, For how long a time hath this been the case with him? And he replied, From his infancy. ²² And often it hath cast him into the fire, and into water, to destroy him: but if thou art able, have compassion upon us, and help us. ²³ Then said Jesus unto him, This [is the point]: if thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth. ²⁴ And immediately the father of the child said with tears, I believe, Lord! help my unbelief! ²⁵ Then Jesus, seeing that the multitude were running up to him, rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to him, Thou dumb and deaf spirit, I command thee, come out of him, and enter into him no more. ²⁶ And screaming, and convulsing him violently, it came out: and the child lay as if dead; insomuch that many said, He is dead. ²⁷ But Jesus taking him by the hand, raised him up; and he arose. ²⁸ And when he was come into the house, the disciples asked him privately, Why could not we cast it out? ²⁹ And he said to them, this kind can be driven out by nothing but prayer and fasting.

¹⁷ And as he went out to the road, a person ran to him, and kneeling down, asked him, Good Master, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?

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. 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,

²⁵ And as Peter was entering, Cornelius met him, and falling at his feet, paid him homage. ²⁶ But Peter raised him up, saying, Arise; I also myself am a man.

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

³¹ Then the devils besought him, saying, If thou cast us out, permit us to go into the herd of swine. ³² And he said to them, Go. Then they going forth out [of him], entered into the herd of swine: and lo! the whole herd of the swine rushed down a precipice into the sea, and perished in the waters.

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.

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.

²² And, behold, there cometh to him one of the rulers of the synagogue, named Jairus; and seeing him, fell at his feet, ²³ and entreated him importunately, saying, My little daughter is at the last gasp; wilt thou come, and lay thy hands upon her, that she may recover, and she shall live.

¹⁷ And one of the people addressing him, said, Master, I have brought my son to thee, who hath a dumb spirit; ¹⁸ and wherever he seizeth him, he throws him into strong convulsions: and he foams at the mouth, and grinds his teeth, and pines away. And I spoke to thy disciples, that they should cast him out; and they were unable.

²⁰ And they brought him unto him. And seeing him, instantly the spirit threw him into convulsions; and falling to the ground, he rolled about, foaming at the mouth. ²¹ And he asked his father, For how long a time hath this been the case with him? And he replied, From his infancy. ²² And often it hath cast him into the fire, and into water, to destroy him: but if thou art able, have compassion upon us, and help us.

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.

⁴⁶ Then came Jesus again to Cana of Galilee, where he had made the water wine. And there was a certain attendant on the king, whose son was sick at Capernaum. ⁴⁷ This person having heard that Jesus was come out of Judea into Galilee, went to him, that he might come down, and cure his son: for he was at the point of death.

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.

⁴⁰ And I besought thy disciples that they would cast him out, and they could not.

¹⁶ And through faith in his name hath his name restored this man to strength, whom ye behold and know: yea, the faith which is by him hath given him this perfect soundness in the sight of you all.

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.

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

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

⁵⁸ And he did not there many miracles because of their unbelief.

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?

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

¹⁴ 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 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.

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

¹⁶ For some, though they had heard, provoked him; yet not all who came out of Egypt by Moses. ¹⁷ But against whom was he incensed forty years? Was it not against those who had sinned, whose corpses fell in the wilderness? ¹⁸ And to whom did he swear that they should not enter into his rest, but to those who did not believe? ¹⁹ So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.

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

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.

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

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

²⁵ Then Jesus, seeing that the multitude were running up to him, rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to him, Thou dumb and deaf spirit, I command thee, come out of him, and enter into him no more. ²⁶ And screaming, and convulsing him violently, it came out: and the child lay as if dead; insomuch that many said, He is dead. ²⁷ But Jesus taking him by the hand, raised him up; and he arose.

³⁵ And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Stop thy mouth, and come out of him. And the devil throwing him down into the midst, came out of him, doing him no injury. ³⁶ And amazement seized on all present, and they spake one to another, saying, What a word is this? for with authority and power he commandeth the unclean spirits, and they come out.

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.

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.

⁵² Then inquired he of them the hour at which he began to amend? and they told him, It was yesterday, at the seventh hour, when the fever left him. ⁵³ Then the father knew that it was the very hour when Jesus said, Thy son liveth: and himself believed, and his whole family.

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.

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?

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

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

³¹ Another parable he proposed to them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like a grain of mustard, which a man took and sowed in his field:

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

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.

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.

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.

³¹ It is like a grain of mustard, which when it is sown in the earth, is among the least of all the seeds which are upon the earth:

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

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.

³⁷ For there is nothing impossible with God.

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.

²⁷ And he said, The things impossible with men, are possible with God.

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

⁹ to another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing [diseases] by the same Spirit;

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.

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

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.

²⁹ And he said to them, this kind can be driven out by nothing but prayer and fasting.

² And as they were employed in the ministry, and kept a fast, the Holy Ghost said, Set apart for me now both Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them. ³ Then having kept a fast and prayed, and laid their hands on them, they sent them out.

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

⁵ Defraud not one another, except it may be by consent occasionally, that ye may have more leisure for fasting and prayer; and come together again, lest Satan tempt you through your incontinence.

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

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;

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.

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,

¹⁰ And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and hate one another.

¹⁶ And from that time he sought an opportunity to deliver him up to them.

⁴⁶ Arise, let us go: lo! he that betrayeth me approaches.

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 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.

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.

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.

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:

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?

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

²³ For I received of the Lord what also I delivered to you, That the Lord Jesus, in the night in which he was betrayed, took a loaf:

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

⁶ But because I have spoken these things to you, sorrow hath filled your heart.

²⁰ Verily, verily, I say unto you, That ye shall weep and lament, but the world shall rejoice: and ye shall be very sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy. ²¹ A woman when she is in travail hath sorrow, because her hour is come: but when the little son is born, she no more remembers the anguish, for joy that a man is brought into the world. ²² And ye therefore have indeed at present sorrow: but I will see you again, and your heart shall be made glad, and your joy no man taketh from you.

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. ²⁵ For David speaketh concerning him, "I have seen the Lord always before me, for he is at my right hand, that I might not be shaken: ²⁶ therefore is my heart full of joy, and my tongue hath exulted; and still shall my flesh also repose in hope, ²⁷ that thou wilt not leave my soul in the mansion of the dead, nor permit that Holy One of thine to see corruption. ²⁸ Thou hast made known to me the ways of life; thou shalt fill me with delight by thy countenance." ²⁹ Men and brethren, permit me to speak with freedom to you concerning the patriarch David, that he hath been both dead and buried, and his sepulchre is with us to this day. ³⁰ Being therefore a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn to him with an oath, that of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, he would raise up the Messiah to sit upon his throne; ³¹ he, foreseeing this, spake of the resurrection of the Messiah, that his soul should not be left in the mansion of the dead, and that his flesh should not see corruption.

³ For I delivered to you among the first things that which I also had received, that Christ died for our sins, according to the scriptures; ⁴ and that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

³³ And he came to Capernaum: and when he was in the house, he asked them, What was the subject of your dispute among yourselves on the road?

¹⁵ But Jesus answering said unto him, Permit it to be so now, for thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness. Then he permitted him.

¹⁷ tell us therefore, What thinkest thou? Is it lawful to pay tribute to Caesar, or not?

¹⁹ Shew me the money for the tribute; and they brought him a denarius.

²¹ They say unto him, Caesar's. Then saith he to them, Render therefore to Caesar, the things which are Caesar's; and to God, the things which are God's.

⁶ For on this account pay ye taxes also: for they are God's ministers, continually employed on this very service. ⁷ Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due, custom to whom custom, fear to whom fear, honour to whom honour.

¹² Then his disciples approaching, said to him, Knowest thou how offended the Pharisees were at hearing that speech? ¹³ Then he answered and said, Every plant which my heavenly Father hath not planted shall be rooted up. 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.

⁶¹ Then Jesus, conscious in himself that his disciples murmured concerning this discourse, said unto them, Doth this stumble you?

²¹ It is laudable not to eat flesh, or to drink wine, nor to do any thing whereby thy brother is stumbled, or scandalized, or weakened.

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 But take heed that this power of yours become not an occasion of stumbling to the weak.

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. ²⁰ And I became to the Jews as a Jew, that I might gain the Jews; to those under the law, as under the law, that I might gain those who are under the law; ²¹ to those who are without law, as without law (not as being without law to God, but under the law to Christ), that I might gain those who were without law. ²² I became to the weak as weak, that I might gain the weak; I became all things to all men, that by every means I might save some.

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:

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

²² Abstain from all appearance of evil.

⁷ In all things approving thyself as a pattern of good works: in thy teaching, shewing integrity, gravity, incorruptibility, ⁸ sound discourse, incapable of confutation; that he who is in opposition may be confounded, having nothing faulty to say of you.

⁷ "Thou hast made him for a little while lower than angels, thou hast crowned him with glory and honour, and hast placed him over the works of thy hands: ⁸ thou hast subjected all things under his feet." Now in subjecting all things to him, he left nothing unsubjected to him; but at present we see not yet all things subjected to him.

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