¹³ If thou turn away thy foot because of the sabbath, from pursuing thy business on My holy day; and call the sabbath a delight, and the holy of the LORD honourable; and shalt honour it, not doing thy wonted ways, nor pursuing thy business, nor speaking thereof; ¹⁴ Then shalt thou delight thyself in the LORD, and I will make thee to ride upon the high places of the earth, and I will feed thee with the heritage of Jacob thy father; for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it.

⁴ Then the princes said unto the king: 'Let this man, we pray thee, be put to death; forasmuch as he weakeneth the hands of the men of war that remain in this city, and the hands of all the people, in speaking such words unto them; for this man seeketh not the welfare of this people, but the hurt.'

² 'Son of man, what is the vine-tree more than any tree, the vine branch which grew up among the trees of the forest? ³ Shall wood be taken thereof to make any work? or will men take a pin of it to hang any vessel thereon? ⁴ Behold, it is cast into the fire for fuel; the fire hath devoured both the ends of it, and the midst of it is singed; is it profitable for any work? ⁵ Behold, when it was whole, it was meet for no work; how much less, when the fire hath devoured it, and it is singed, shall it yet be meet for any work? ⁶ Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD: As the vine-tree among the trees of the forest, which I have given to the fire for fuel, so do I give the inhabitants of Jerusalem. ⁷ And I will set My face against them; out of the fire are they come forth, and the fire shall devour them; and ye shall know that I am the LORD, when I set My face against them.

⁴⁷ (21:3) and say to the forest of the South: Hear the word of the LORD: Thus saith the Lord GOD: Behold, I will kindle a fire in thee, and it shall devour every green tree in thee, and every dry tree, it shall not be quenched, even a flaming flame; and all faces from the south to the north shall be seared thereby. ⁴⁸ (21:4) And all flesh shall see that I the LORD have kindled it; it shall not be quenched.'

³ (21:8) and say to the land of Israel: Thus saith the LORD: Behold, I am against thee, and will draw forth My sword out of its sheath, and will cut off from thee the righteous and the wicked. ⁴ (21:9) Seeing then that I will cut off from thee the righteous and the wicked, therefore shall My sword go forth out of its sheath against all flesh from the south to the north;

⁴ (6:5) Then the presidents and the satraps sought to find occasion against Daniel as touching the kingdom; but they could find no occasion nor fault; forasmuch as he was faithful, neither was there any error or fault found in him.

¹³ I saw in the night visions, and, behold, there came with the clouds of heaven one like unto a son of man, and he came even to the Ancient of days, and he was brought near before Him. ¹⁴ And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all the peoples, nations, and languages should serve him; his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed.

⁴ And I prayed unto the LORD my God, and made confession, and said: 'O Lord, the great and awful God, who keepest covenant and mercy with them that love Thee and keep Thy commandments,

²⁶ And after the threescore and two weeks shall an anointed one be cut off, and be no more; and the people of a prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; but his end shall be with a flood; and unto the end of the war desolations are determined.

¹² Yea, though they bring up their children, yet will I bereave them, that there be not a man left; yea, woe also to them when I depart from them! ¹³ Ephraim, like as I have seen Tyre, is planted in a pleasant place; but Ephraim shall bring forth his children to the slayer. ¹⁴ Give them, O LORD, whatsoever Thou wilt give; give them a miscarrying womb and dry breasts. ¹⁵ All their wickedness is in Gilgal, for there I hated them; because of the wickedness of their doings I will drive them out of My house; I will love them no more, all their princes are rebellious. ¹⁶ Ephraim is smitten, their root is dried up, they shall bear no fruit; yea, though they bring forth, yet will I slay the beloved fruit of their womb.

⁸ The high places also of Aven shall be destroyed, even the sin of Israel. The thorn and the thistle shall come up on their altars; and they shall say to the mountains: 'Cover us', and to the hills: 'Fall on us.'

¹⁶ (14:1) Samaria shall bear her guilt, for she hath rebelled against her God; they shall fall by the sword; their infants shall be dashed in pieces, and their women with child shall be ripped up.

³¹ (3:4) The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and terrible day of the LORD come.

¹⁸ Woe unto you that desire the day of the LORD! Wherefore would ye have the day of the LORD? It is darkness, and not light.

¹⁰ Then Amaziah the priest of Beth-el sent to Jeroboam king of Israel, saying: 'Amos hath conspired against thee in the midst of the house of Israel; the land is not able to bear all his words.

⁹ And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord GOD, that I will cause the sun to go down at noon, and I will darken the earth in the clear day.

¹⁸ Who is a God like unto Thee, that pardoneth the iniquity, and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of His heritage? He retaineth not His anger for ever, because He delighteth in mercy.

⁸ Is it, O LORD, that against the rivers, is it that Thine anger is kindled against the rivers, or Thy wrath against the sea? that Thou dost ride upon Thy horses, upon Thy chariots of victory? ⁹ Thy bow is made quite bare; sworn are the rods of the word. Selah. Thou dost cleave the earth with rivers. ¹⁰ The mountains have seen Thee, and they tremble; the tempest of waters floweth over; the deep uttereth its voice, and lifteth up its hands on high. ¹¹ The sun and moon stand still in their habitation; at the light of Thine arrows as they go, at the shining of Thy glittering spear.

⁸ And I cut off the three shepherds in one month; 'for My soul became impatient of them, and their soul also loathed Me.'

¹⁰ And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplication; and they shall look unto Me because they have thrust him through; and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his first-born.

¹² whose fan is in his hand, and he will thoroughly cleanse his threshing-floor, and he will gather his wheat into the garner, but the chaff he will burn up with unquenchable fire.

¹⁷ and lo, a voice out of the heavens, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.

¹² Now when Jesus heard that John was delivered up, he withdrew into Galilee, ¹³ and leaving Nazareth, he came and dwelt in Capernaum, which is by the sea, in the borders of Zebulun and Naphtali: ¹⁴ that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying, ¹⁵ The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, Toward the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles, ¹⁶ The people that sat in darkness Saw a great light, And to them that sat in the region and shadow of death, To them did light spring up.

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

⁴⁴ but I say unto you, love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them that despitefully use you, and persecute you,

⁶ Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast your pearls before the swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn and rend you.

⁸ But when the multitudes saw it, they marveled, and glorified God, who had given such authority unto men.

²⁵ At that season Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou didst hide these things from the wise and understanding, and didst reveal them unto babes;

¹⁸ Behold, my servant whom I have chosen, My beloved in whom my soul is well pleased; I will put my Spirit upon him, And he shall declare judgment to the Gentiles.

¹ At that season Herod the tetrarch heard the report concerning Jesus,

⁸ And she, being put forward by her mother, saith, Give me here on a platter the head of John the Baptist. ⁹ And the king was grieved, but for the sake of his oaths, and of them that sat at meat with him, he commanded it to be given,

¹ And the Pharisees and Sadducees came, and trying him asked him to show them a sign from heaven.

²⁷ But, lest we cause them to stumble, go thou to the sea, and cast a hook, and take up the fish that first cometh up, and when thou hast opened his mouth, thou shalt find a shekel; that take, and give unto them for me and thee.

¹⁵ Or is it not lawful for me to do what I will with mine own? Is thine eye evil, because I am good? ¹⁶ So the last shall be first, and the first last; for many are called, but few chosen.

¹⁹ and shall deliver him unto the Gentiles to mock, and to scourge, and to crucify; and the third day he shall rise again.

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

¹⁹ But woe unto them that are with child and to them that give suck in those days!

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

⁵⁹ Now the chief priests, and elders, and the whole council sought false witness against Jesus, that they might put him to death, ⁶⁰ and they found it not; yea, though many false witnesses came, yet found they none.

¹ Now when morning was come, all the chief priests and the elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put him to death: ² and they bound him, and led him away, and delivered him up to Pontius Pilate the governor.

⁴ saying, I have sinned in that I betrayed innocent blood. But they said, What is that to us? see thou to it.

¹¹ Now Jesus stood before the governor; and the governor asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And Jesus said unto him, Thou sayest.

¹¹ Now Jesus stood before the governor; and the governor asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And Jesus said unto him, Thou sayest. ¹² And when he was accused by the chief priests and elders, he answered nothing. ¹³ Then saith Pilate unto him, Hearest thou not how many things they witness against thee? ¹⁴ And he gave him no answer, not even to one word; insomuch that the governor marveled greatly.

¹⁴ And he gave him no answer, not even to one word; insomuch that the governor marveled greatly. ¹⁵ Now at the feast the governor was wont to release unto the multitude one prisoner, whom they would.

¹⁵ Now at the feast the governor was wont to release unto the multitude one prisoner, whom they would. ¹⁶ And they had then a notable prisoner, called Barabbas. ¹⁷ When therefore they were gathered together, Pilate said unto them, Whom will ye that I release unto you? Barabbas, or Jesus who is called Christ? ¹⁸ For he knew that for envy they had delivered him up. ¹⁹ And while he was sitting on the judgment-seat, his wife sent unto him, saying, Have thou nothing to do with that righteous man, for I have suffered many things this day in a dream because of him.

¹⁹ And while he was sitting on the judgment-seat, his wife sent unto him, saying, Have thou nothing to do with that righteous man, for I have suffered many things this day in a dream because of him. ²⁰ Now the chief priests and the elders persuaded the multitudes that they should ask for Barabbas, and destroy Jesus. ²¹ But the governor answered and said unto them, Which of the two will ye that I release unto you? And they said, Barabbas.

²¹ But the governor answered and said unto them, Which of the two will ye that I release unto you? And they said, Barabbas. ²² Pilate saith unto them, What then shall I do unto Jesus who is called Christ? They all say unto him, Let him be crucified.

²² Pilate saith unto them, What then shall I do unto Jesus who is called Christ? They all say unto him, Let him be crucified.

²² Pilate saith unto them, What then shall I do unto Jesus who is called Christ? They all say unto him, Let him be crucified. ²³ And the governor said, Why, what evil hath he done? But they cried out exceedingly, saying, Let him be crucified.

²³ And the governor said, Why, what evil hath he done? But they cried out exceedingly, saying, Let him be crucified.

²³ And the governor said, Why, what evil hath he done? But they cried out exceedingly, saying, Let him be crucified.

²³ And the governor said, Why, what evil hath he done? But they cried out exceedingly, saying, Let him be crucified. ²⁴ So when Pilate saw that he prevailed nothing, but rather that a tumult was arising, he took water, and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this righteous man, see ye to it.

²⁴ So when Pilate saw that he prevailed nothing, but rather that a tumult was arising, he took water, and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this righteous man, see ye to it.

²⁴ So when Pilate saw that he prevailed nothing, but rather that a tumult was arising, he took water, and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this righteous man, see ye to it. ²⁵ And all the people answered and said, His blood be on us, and on our children.

²⁵ And all the people answered and said, His blood be on us, and on our children. ²⁶ Then released he unto them Barabbas, but Jesus he scourged and delivered to be crucified.

²⁶ Then released he unto them Barabbas, but Jesus he scourged and delivered to be crucified. ²⁷ Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the Praetorium, and gathered unto him the whole band. ²⁸ And they stripped him, and put on him a scarlet robe. ²⁹ And they platted a crown of thorns and put it upon his head, and a reed in his right hand, and they kneeled down before him, and mocked him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews! ³⁰ And they spat upon him, and took the reed and smote him on the head.

³² And as they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name; him they compelled to go with them, that he might bear his cross. ³³ And they were come unto a place called Golgotha, that is to say, The place of a skull,

³³ And they were come unto a place called Golgotha, that is to say, The place of a skull, ³⁴ they gave him vinegar to drink mingled with gall; and when he had tasted it, he would not drink.

³⁴ they gave him vinegar to drink mingled with gall; and when he had tasted it, he would not drink.

³⁶ and they sat and watched him there. ³⁷ And they set up over his head his accusation written, THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS.

³⁷ And they set up over his head his accusation written, THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS. ³⁸ Then are there crucified with him two robbers, one on the right hand and one on the left.

³⁸ Then are there crucified with him two robbers, one on the right hand and one on the left.

³⁸ Then are there crucified with him two robbers, one on the right hand and one on the left. ³⁹ And they that passed by railed on him, wagging their heads,

³⁹ And they that passed by railed on him, wagging their heads, ⁴⁰ and saying, Thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days, save thyself; if thou art the Son of God, come down from the cross.

⁴⁰ and saying, Thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days, save thyself; if thou art the Son of God, come down from the cross. ⁴¹ And in like manner also the chief priests mocking him, with the scribes and elders and Pharisees, said,

⁴¹ And in like manner also the chief priests mocking him, with the scribes and elders and Pharisees, said, ⁴² He saved others, himself he cannot save. If he is the King of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe on him.

⁴² He saved others, himself he cannot save. If he is the King of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe on him. ⁴³ He trusteth on God, let him deliver him now, if he desireth him; for he said, I am the Son of God.

⁴³ He trusteth on God, let him deliver him now, if he desireth him; for he said, I am the Son of God. ⁴⁴ And the robbers also that were crucified with him cast upon him the same reproach.

⁴⁴ And the robbers also that were crucified with him cast upon him the same reproach. ⁴⁵ Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land until the ninth hour. ⁴⁶ And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lima sabachthani? that is, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? ⁴⁷ And some of them that stood there, when they heard it, said, This man calleth Elijah. ⁴⁸ And straightway one of them ran, and took a sponge, and filled it with vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink.

⁴⁸ And straightway one of them ran, and took a sponge, and filled it with vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink. ⁴⁹ And the rest said, Let be, let us see whether Elijah cometh to save him. ⁵⁰ And Jesus cried again with a loud voice, and yielded up his spirit. ⁵¹ And behold, the veil of the temple was rent in two from the top to the bottom, and the earth did quake, and the rocks were rent,

⁵¹ And behold, the veil of the temple was rent in two from the top to the bottom, and the earth did quake, and the rocks were rent, ⁵² and the tombs were opened, and many bodies of the saints that had fallen asleep were raised,

⁵² and the tombs were opened, and many bodies of the saints that had fallen asleep were raised, ⁵³ and coming forth out of the tombs after his resurrection they entered into the holy city and appeared unto many. ⁵⁴ Now the centurion, and they that were with him watching Jesus, when they saw the earthquake, and the things that were done, feared exceedingly, saying, Truly this was the Son of God.

⁵⁴ Now the centurion, and they that were with him watching Jesus, when they saw the earthquake, and the things that were done, feared exceedingly, saying, Truly this was the Son of God. ⁵⁵ And many women were there beholding from afar, who had followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering unto him:

⁵⁵ And many women were there beholding from afar, who had followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering unto him: ⁵⁶ among whom was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee. ⁵⁷ And when even was come, there came a rich man from Arimathaea, named Joseph, who also himself was Jesus' disciple: ⁵⁸ this man went to Pilate, and asked for the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded the body to be given up. ⁵⁹ And Joseph took the body, and wrapped it in a clean linen cloth,

⁵⁹ And Joseph took the body, and wrapped it in a clean linen cloth, ⁶⁰ and laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn out in the rock; and he rolled a great stone to the door of the tomb, and departed.

⁶⁰ and laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn out in the rock; and he rolled a great stone to the door of the tomb, and departed. ⁶¹ And Mary Magdalene was there, and the other Mary, sitting over against the sepulchre.

⁶¹ And Mary Magdalene was there, and the other Mary, sitting over against the sepulchre. ⁶² Now on the morrow, which is the day after the Preparation, the chief priests and the Pharisees were gathered together unto Pilate,

¹⁴ Now after John was delivered up, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God,

¹⁴ And king Herod heard thereof, for his name had become known; and he said, John the Baptizer is risen from the dead, and therefore do these powers work in him.

¹² And he answered and said unto them, Elijah indeed cometh first, and restoreth all things; and how is it written of the Son of man, that he should suffer many things and be set at nought?

³³ saying, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and the Son of man shall be delivered unto the chief priests and scribes, and they shall condemn him to death, and shall deliver him unto the Gentiles; ³⁴ and they shall mock him, and shall scourge him, and shall spit upon him, and shall kill him, and the third day he shall rise again.

¹⁷ And Jesus answering said unto them, Render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and unto God the things that are God's. And they marveled greatly at him.

¹⁷ But woe unto them that are with child and to them that give suck in those days! ¹⁸ And pray ye that your flight be not in the winter. ¹⁹ For those days shall be tribulation, such as there hath not been the like from the beginning of the creation which God created until now, and never shall be.

⁵⁵ Now the chief priests and the whole council sought witness against Jesus to put him to death, and found it not. ⁵⁶ For many bare false witness against him, and their witness agreed not together.

⁶¹ But he held his peace, and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked him, and saith unto him, Art thou the Christ, the Son of the Blessed? ⁶² And Jesus said, I am; and ye shall see the Son of man sitting at the right hand of Power, and coming with the clouds of heaven.

¹ And straightway in the morning the chief priests with the elders and scribes, and the whole council, held a consultation, and bound Jesus, and carried him away, and delivered him up to Pilate. ² And Pilate asked him, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he answering saith unto him, Thou sayest.

² And Pilate asked him, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he answering saith unto him, Thou sayest. ³ And the chief priests accused him of many things. ⁴ And Pilate again asked him, saying, Answerest thou nothing? behold how many things they accuse thee of. ⁵ But Jesus no more answered anything, insomuch that Pilate marveled. ⁶ Now at the feast he used to release unto them one prisoner, whom they asked of him.

⁶ Now at the feast he used to release unto them one prisoner, whom they asked of him.

⁷ And there was one called Barabbas, lying bound with them that had made insurrection with him, men who in the insurrection had committed murder. ⁸ And the multitude crying aloud began to ask him to do as he always did unto them. ⁹ And Pilate answered them, saying, Will ye that I release unto you the King of the Jews? ¹⁰ For he perceived that for envy the chief priests had delivered him up. ¹¹ But the chief priests stirred up the multitude, that he should rather release Barabbas unto them. ¹² And Pilate answered and said again unto them, What will ye then that I shall do unto him whom ye call the King of the Jews? ¹³ And they cried out again, Crucify him.

¹³ And they cried out again, Crucify him. ¹⁴ And Pilate said unto them, Why, what evil hath he done? But they cried out exceedingly, Crucify him.

¹⁸ and they began to salute him, Hail, the King of the Jews! ¹⁹ And they smote his head with a reed, and spat upon him, and bowing their knees worshipped him. ²⁰ And when they had mocked him, they took off from him the purple, and put on him his own garments. And they lead him out to crucify him. ²¹ And they compel one passing by, Simon of Cyrene, coming from the country, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to go with them, that he might bear his cross. ²² And they bring him unto the place Golgotha, which is, being interpreted, The place of a skull.

²⁷ And with him they crucify two robbers, one on his right hand, and one on his left. ²⁸ And the scripture was fulfilled, which saith, And he was reckoned with transgressors. ²⁹ And they that passed by railed on him, wagging their heads, and saying, Ha! Thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days, ³⁰ save thyself, and come down from the cross. ³¹ And in like manner also the chief priests mocking him among themselves with the scribes said, He saved others, himself he cannot save. ³² Let the Christ, the King of Israel, now come down from the cross, that we may see and believe on him. And they that were crucified with him reproached him.

³² Let the Christ, the King of Israel, now come down from the cross, that we may see and believe on him.

³⁴ And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, Eloi, Eloi, lima sabachthani? which is, being interpreted, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? ³⁵ And some of them that stood by, when they heard it, said, Behold, he calleth Elijah. ³⁶ And one ran, and filling a sponge full of vinegar, put it on a reed, and gave him to drink, saying, Let be, let us see whether Elijah cometh to take him down.

³⁶ And one ran, and filling a sponge full of vinegar, put it on a reed, and gave him to drink, saying, Let be, let us see whether Elijah cometh to take him down. ³⁷ And Jesus uttered a loud voice, and gave up the ghost. ³⁸ And the veil of the temple was rent in two from the top to the bottom.

⁴⁰ And there were also women beholding from afar; among whom were both Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the less and of Joses, and Salome, ⁴¹ who also, when he was in Galilee, followed him, and ministered unto him, and many other women that came up with him unto Jerusalem. ⁴² And when even was now come, because it was the Preparation, that is, the day before the sabbath,

⁴² And when even was now come, because it was the Preparation, that is, the day before the sabbath, ⁴³ there came Joseph of Arimathaea, a councillor of honorable estate, who also himself was looking for the kingdom of God, and he boldly went in unto Pilate, and asked for the body of Jesus.

⁴³ there came Joseph of Arimathaea, a councillor of honorable estate, who also himself was looking for the kingdom of God, and he boldly went in unto Pilate, and asked for the body of Jesus. ⁴⁴ And Pilate marveled if he were already dead; and calling unto him the centurion, he asked him whether he had been any while dead. ⁴⁵ And when he learned it of the centurion, he granted the body to Joseph. ⁴⁶ And he bought a linen cloth, and taking him down, wound him in the linen cloth, and laid him in a tomb which had been hewn out of a rock, and he rolled a stone against the door of the tomb.

⁴⁶ And he bought a linen cloth, and taking him down, wound him in the linen cloth, and laid him in a tomb which had been hewn out of a rock, and he rolled a stone against the door of the tomb. ⁴⁷ And Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses beheld where he was laid.

⁴⁷ And Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses beheld where he was laid.

¹ And when the sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, bought spices, that they might come and anoint him.

³² He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Most High; and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David: ³³ and he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever, and of his kingdom there shall be no end.

²⁵ And behold, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon, and this man was righteous and devout, looking for the consolation of Israel; and the Holy Spirit was upon him.

³⁸ And coming up at that very hour she gave thanks unto the Lord, and spake of him to all them that were looking for the redemption of Jerusalem.

¹ Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judea, and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of the region of Ituraea and Trachonitis, and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilene,

¹⁴ And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee; and a fame went out concerning him through all the region round about. ¹⁵ And he taught in their synagogues, being glorified of all.

²³ And he said unto them, Doubtless ye will say unto me this parable, Physician, heal thyself; whatsoever we have heard done at Capernaum, do also here in thine own country.

²⁷ But I say unto you that hear, Love your enemies, do good to them that hate you, ²⁸ bless them that curse you, pray for them that despitefully use you.

² and certain women who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities; Mary that was called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone out,

⁵² And all were weeping, and bewailing her; but he said, Weep not, for she is not dead, but sleepeth.

⁷ Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was done by him; and he was much perplexed, because that it was said by some, that John was risen from the dead, ⁸ and by some, that Elijah had appeared, and by others, that one of the old prophets was risen again. ⁹ And Herod said, John I beheaded; but who is this, about whom I hear such things? And he sought to see him.

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

⁵³ And as he said these things unto them, the scribes and the Pharisees began to press upon him vehemently, and to provoke him to speak of many things,

⁵ But I will warn you whom ye shall fear; Fear him, who after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell, yea, I say unto you, Fear him.

⁸ And I say unto you, Every one who shall confess me before men, him shall the Son of man also confess before the angels of God;

⁴⁷ { And that servant, who knew his lord's will, and made not ready, nor did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes, ⁴⁸ but he that knew not, and did things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. And to whomsoever much is given, of him shall much be required; and to whom they commit much, of him will they ask the more.

¹ Now there were some present at that very season who told him of the Galilaeans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices.

³¹ On that very day there came certain Pharisees, saying to him, Get thee out, and go hence; for Herod would fain kill thee. ³² And he said unto them, Go and say to that fox, Behold, I cast out demons and perform cures to-day and to-morrow, and the third day I am perfected.

²⁷ Whosoever doth not bear his own cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple.

⁴ What man of you, having a hundred sheep, and having lost one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he find it? ⁵ And when he hath found it, he layeth it on his shoulders, rejoicing.

¹⁸ I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight; ¹⁹ I am no more worthy to be called your son; make me as one of thy hired servants. ²⁰ And he arose, and came to his father. But while he was yet afar off, his father saw him, and was moved with compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him. ²¹ And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight; I am no more worthy to be called thy son. ²² But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and put it on him, and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet; ²³ and bring the fatted calf, and kill it, and let us eat, and make merry; ²⁴ for this my son was dead, and is alive again, he was lost, and is found. And they began to be merry.

¹⁴ And the Pharisees, who were lovers of money, heard all these things, and they scoffed at him.

³⁴ I say unto you, In that night there shall be two men on one bed, the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left. ³⁵ There shall be two women grinding together, the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left.

¹³ But the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote his breast, saying, God, be thou merciful to me a sinner.

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

³⁸ saying, Blessed is the King that cometh in the name of the Lord; peace in heaven, and glory in the highest. ³⁹ And some of the Pharisees from the multitude said unto him, Teacher, rebuke thy disciples. ⁴⁰ And he answered and said, I tell you that, if these shall hold their peace, the stones will cry out.

²⁰ And they watched him, and sent forth spies, who feigned themselves to be righteous, that they might take hold of his speech, so as to deliver him up to the rule and to the authority of the governor. ²¹ And they asked him, saying, Teacher, we know that thou sayest and teachest rightly, and acceptest not the person of any, but of a truth teachest the way of God: ²² Is it lawful for us to give tribute unto Caesar, or not? ²³ But he perceived their craftiness, and said unto them, Why make ye trial of me? ²⁴ Show me a denarius. Whose image and superscription hath it? And they said, Caesar's. ²⁵ And he said unto them, Then render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and unto God the things that are God's.

²³ Woe unto them that are with child and to them that give suck in those days! for there shall be great distress upon the land, and wrath unto this people. ²⁴ And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led captive into all the nations; and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.

³⁷ For I say unto you, that this which is written must be fulfilled in me, And he was reckoned with transgressors; for that which concerneth me hath fulfilment.

⁶⁴ And when they had blindfolded him, they struck him on the face, and asked him, saying, Prophesy; who is he that struck thee? ⁶⁵ And many other things spake they against him, reviling him. ⁶⁶ And as soon as it was day, the assembly of the elders of the people, chief priests and scribes, were gathered together, and they led him away into their council, saying, ⁶⁷ If thou art the Christ, tell us. But he said unto them, If I tell you, ye will not believe; ⁶⁸ and if I ask you, ye will not answer me, nor let me go. ⁶⁹ But from henceforth shall the Son of man be seated at the right hand of the power of God. ⁷⁰ And they all said, Art thou then the Son of God? And he said unto them, Ye say that I am.

⁷⁰ And they all said, Art thou then the Son of God? And he said unto them, Ye say that I am.

¹ And the whole company of them rose up, and brought him before Pilate. ² And they began to accuse him, saying, We found this man perverting the nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Caesar, and saying that he himself is Christ a king.

² And they began to accuse him, saying, We found this man perverting the nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Caesar, and saying that he himself is Christ a king. ³ And Pilate asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he answered him and said, Thou sayest. ⁴ And Pilate said unto the chief priests and the multitudes, I find no fault in this man. ⁵ But they were the more urgent, saying, He stirreth up the people, teaching throughout all Judea, and beginning from Galilee even unto this place.

⁵ But they were the more urgent, saying, He stirreth up the people, teaching throughout all Judea, and beginning from Galilee even unto this place.

¹¹ And Herod with his soldiers set him at nought, and mocked him, and arraying him in gorgeous apparel sent him back to Pilate.

¹⁴ and said unto them, Ye brought unto me this man, as one that perverteth the people; and behold, I having examined him before you, found no fault in this man touching those things whereof ye accuse him:

¹⁴ and said unto them, Ye brought unto me this man, as one that perverteth the people; and behold, I having examined him before you, found no fault in this man touching those things whereof ye accuse him: ¹⁵ no, nor yet Herod; for I sent you to him, and behold, nothing worthy of death hath been done by him. ¹⁶ I will therefore chastise him, and release him.

²⁰ And Pilate spake unto them again, desiring to release Jesus,

²² And he said unto them the third time, Why, what evil hath this man done? I have found no cause of death in him; I will therefore chastise him and release him. ²³ But they were urgent with loud voices, asking that he might be crucified. And the voices of them and of the chief priests prevailed.

²⁷ And there followed him a great multitude of the people, and of women who bewailed and lamented him.

³⁵ And the people stood beholding. And the rulers also with them scoffed at him, saying, He saved others, let him save himself, if this is the Christ of God, his chosen.

³⁷ and saying, If thou art the King of the Jews, save thyself. ³⁸ And there was also a superscription written over him in letters of Greek, and Latin, and Hebrew, THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.

⁴¹ And we indeed justly, for we receive the due reward of our deeds; but this man hath done nothing amiss. ⁴² And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest in thy kingdom.

⁴⁷ And when the centurion saw what was done, he glorified God, saying, Certainly this was a righteous man. ⁴⁸ And all the multitudes that came together to this sight, when they beheld the things that were done, returned smiting their breasts. ⁴⁹ And all his acquaintance, and the women that followed with him from Galilee, stood afar off, seeing these things.

⁵⁵ And the women, who had come with him out of Galilee, followed after, and beheld the tomb, and how his body was laid.

¹ But on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they came unto the tomb, bringing the spices which they had prepared, and certain others with them.

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 Behooved it not the Christ to suffer these things, and to enter into his glory?

⁴³ On the morrow he was minded to go forth into Galilee, and he findeth Philip; and Jesus saith unto him, Follow me.

⁴⁹ Nathanael answered him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God, thou art the King of Israel.

¹¹ This beginning of his signs did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested his glory, and his disciples believed on him.

¹⁴ And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up,

⁴¹ Others said, This is the Christ. But some said, What, doth the Christ come out of Galilee?

⁵² They answered and said unto him, Art thou also of Galilee? Search, and see that out of Galilee hath arisen no prophet.

³³ But this he said, signifying by what manner of death he should die. ³⁴ The multitude therefore answered him, We have heard out of the law that the Christ abideth for ever; and how sayest thou, The Son of man must be lifted up? who is this Son of man?

³ And if I go and prepare a place for you, I come again, and will receive you unto myself, that where I am, there ye may be also.

⁶ If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered, and they gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.

²² If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin; but now they have no excuse for their sin. ²³ He that hateth me hateth my Father also. ²⁴ If I had not done among them the works which none other did, they had not had sin; but now have they both seen and hated both me and my Father.

²⁴ Father, I desire that they also whom thou hast given me be with me where I am, that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me; for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world.

²⁸ They lead Jesus therefore from Caiaphas into the Praetorium; and it was early, and they themselves entered not into the Praetorium, that they might not be defiled, but might eat the passover. ²⁹ Pilate therefore went out unto them, and saith, What accusation bring ye against this man? ³⁰ They answered and said unto him, If this man were not an evildoer, we should not have delivered him up unto thee.

³⁰ They answered and said unto him, If this man were not an evildoer, we should not have delivered him up unto thee. ³¹ Pilate therefore said unto them, Take him yourselves, and judge him according to your law. The Jews said unto him, It is not lawful for us to put any man to death: ³² that the word of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he spake, signifying by what manner of death he should die.

³² that the word of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he spake, signifying by what manner of death he should die. ³³ Pilate therefore entered again into the Praetorium, and called Jesus, and said unto him, Art thou the King of the Jews?

³³ Pilate therefore entered again into the Praetorium, and called Jesus, and said unto him, Art thou the King of the Jews? ³⁴ Jesus answered, Sayest thou this of thyself, or did others tell it thee concerning me?

³⁴ Jesus answered, Sayest thou this of thyself, or did others tell it thee concerning me? ³⁵ Pilate answered, Am I a Jew? Thine own nation and the chief priests delivered thee unto me; what hast thou done?

³⁵ Pilate answered, Am I a Jew? Thine own nation and the chief priests delivered thee unto me; what hast thou done? ³⁶ Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world; if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews; but now is my kingdom not from hence.

³⁶ Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world; if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews; but now is my kingdom not from hence. ³⁷ Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end have I been born, and to this end am I come into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice.

³⁷ Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end have I been born, and to this end am I come into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice. ³⁸ Pilate saith unto him, What is truth? And when he had said this, he went out again unto the Jews, and saith unto them, I find no crime in him.

³⁸ Pilate saith unto him, What is truth? And when he had said this, he went out again unto the Jews, and saith unto them, I find no crime in him. ³⁹ But ye have a custom, that I should release unto you one at the passover; will ye therefore that I release unto you the King of the Jews?

³⁹ But ye have a custom, that I should release unto you one at the passover; will ye therefore that I release unto you the King of the Jews? ⁴⁰ Therefore they all cried out again, saying, Not this man, but Barabbas. Now Barabbas was a robber.

⁴⁰ Therefore they all cried out again, saying, Not this man, but Barabbas. Now Barabbas was a robber.

¹ Then Pilate therefore took Jesus, and scourged him.

¹ Then Pilate therefore took Jesus, and scourged him. ² And the soldiers platted a crown of thorns, and put it on his head, and arrayed him in a purple garment, ³ and they said, Hail, King of the Jews! and they struck him with their hands.

³ and they said, Hail, King of the Jews! and they struck him with their hands. ⁴ And Pilate went out again, and saith unto them, Behold, I bring him out to you, that ye may know that I find no crime in him.

⁴ And Pilate went out again, and saith unto them, Behold, I bring him out to you, that ye may know that I find no crime in him.

⁴ And Pilate went out again, and saith unto them, Behold, I bring him out to you, that ye may know that I find no crime in him. ⁵ Jesus therefore came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple garment. And Pilate saith unto them, Behold, the man!

⁵ Jesus therefore came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple garment. And Pilate saith unto them, Behold, the man! ⁶ When therefore the chief priests and the officers saw him, they cried out, saying, Crucify him, crucify him! Pilate saith unto them, Take him yourselves, and crucify him; for I find no crime in him. ⁷ The Jews answered him, We have a law, and by our law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God.

¹¹ Jesus answered him, Thou wouldest have no power against me, except it were given thee from above; therefore he that delivered me unto thee hath greater sin. ¹² Upon this Pilate sought to release him; but the Jews cried out, saying, If thou release this man, thou art not Caesar's friend; every one that maketh himself a king speaketh against Caesar.

¹⁴ Now it was the Preparation of the passover; it was about the sixth hour. And he saith unto the Jews, Behold, your King! ¹⁵ They therefore cried out, Away with him, away with him, crucify him! Pilate saith unto them, Shall I crucify your King? The chief priests answered, We have no king but Caesar.

¹⁵ They therefore cried out, Away with him, away with him, crucify him! Pilate saith unto them, Shall I crucify your King? The chief priests answered, We have no king but Caesar. ¹⁶ Then therefore he delivered him unto them to be crucified. And they took Jesus, and led him away.

¹⁶ Then therefore he delivered him unto them to be crucified. And they took Jesus, and led him away. ¹⁷ And he went out, bearing his cross, unto a place called The place of a skull, which is called in Hebrew, Golgotha:

¹⁷ And he went out, bearing his cross, unto a place called The place of a skull, which is called in Hebrew, Golgotha: ¹⁸ where they crucified him, and with him two others, on either side one, and Jesus in the midst.

¹⁸ where they crucified him, and with him two others, on either side one, and Jesus in the midst. ¹⁹ And Pilate wrote a title also, and put it on the cross. And there was written, JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS.

¹⁹ And Pilate wrote a title also, and put it on the cross. And there was written, JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS. ²⁰ This title therefore read many of the Jews, for the place where Jesus was crucified was nigh to the city, and it was written in Hebrew, and in Latin, and in Greek.

²⁰ This title therefore read many of the Jews, for the place where Jesus was crucified was nigh to the city, and it was written in Hebrew, and in Latin, and in Greek. ²¹ The chief priests of the Jews therefore said to Pilate, Write not, The King of the Jews, but that he said, I am King of the Jews.

²¹ The chief priests of the Jews therefore said to Pilate, Write not, The King of the Jews, but that he said, I am King of the Jews.

²¹ The chief priests of the Jews therefore said to Pilate, Write not, The King of the Jews, but that he said, I am King of the Jews. ²² Pilate answered, What I have written I have written.

²² Pilate answered, What I have written I have written. ²³ The soldiers therefore, when they had crucified Jesus, took his garments and made four parts, to every soldier a part, and also the coat; now the coat was without seam, woven from the top throughout.

²³ The soldiers therefore, when they had crucified Jesus, took his garments and made four parts, to every soldier a part, and also the coat; now the coat was without seam, woven from the top throughout. ²⁴ They said therefore one to another, Let us not rend it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be; that the scripture might be fulfilled, which saith, They parted my garments among them, And upon my vesture did they cast lots.

²⁴ They said therefore one to another, Let us not rend it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be; that the scripture might be fulfilled, which saith, They parted my garments among them, And upon my vesture did they cast lots. ²⁵ These things therefore the soldiers did. But there were standing by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene. ²⁶ When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple standing by whom he loved, he saith unto 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. ²⁸ After this Jesus, seeing that all things are now finished, that the scripture might be accomplished, saith, I thirst. ²⁹ There was set there a vessel full of vinegar; so they put a sponge full of the vinegar upon hyssop, and brought it to his mouth. ³⁰ When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished; and he bowed his head, and gave up his spirit.

³⁰ When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished; and he bowed his head, and gave up his spirit. ³¹ The Jews therefore, because it was the Preparation, that the bodies should not remain on the cross upon the sabbath (for the day of that sabbath was a high day), asked of Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.

³⁸ And after these things Joseph of Arimathaea, being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews, asked of Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus; and Pilate gave him leave. He came therefore, and took away the body of Jesus. ³⁹ And there came also Nicodemus, he who at the first came to him by night, bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pounds. ⁴⁰ So they took the body of Jesus, and bound it in linen cloths with the spices, as the custom of the Jews is to bury. ⁴¹ Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden, and in the garden a new tomb wherein was never man yet laid. ⁴² There then because of the Jews' Preparation (for the tomb was nigh at hand) they laid Jesus.

⁴² There then because of the Jews' Preparation (for the tomb was nigh at hand) they laid Jesus.

²⁸ Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God.

¹⁰ in Phrygia and Pamphylia, in Egypt and the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and sojourners from Rome, both Jews and proselytes,

²⁰ The sun shall be turned into darkness, And the moon into blood, Before the day of the Lord come, That great and notable day.

²³ him, being delivered up by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye having taken by the hands of lawless men, did crucify and slay:

³⁷ Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and the rest of the apostles, Brethren, what shall we do?

¹⁴ But ye denied the Holy and Righteous One, and asked for a murderer to be granted unto you,

¹⁷ And now, brethren, I know that in ignorance ye did it, as did also your rulers.

²⁷ for of a truth against thy holy Servant Jesus, whom thou didst anoint, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and the peoples of Israel, were gathered together,

²⁷ for of a truth against thy holy Servant Jesus, whom thou didst anoint, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and the peoples of Israel, were gathered together, ²⁸ to do whatsoever thy hand and thy council foreordained to come to pass.

³⁰ The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom ye slew, hanging him on a tree.

³³ But they, when they heard this, were cut to the heart, and took counsel to slay them.

³⁷ After this man rose up Judas of Galilee in the days of the enrolment, and drew away some of the people after him; he also perished, and all, as many as obeyed him, were scattered abroad.

⁴⁰ And to him they agreed; and when they had called the apostles unto them, they beat them and charged them not to speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go. ⁴¹ They therefore departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer dishonor for the name of Jesus.

⁶ whom they set before the apostles; and when they had prayed, they laid their hands upon them.

⁹ But there arose certain of them that were of the synagogue called the synagogue of the Libertines, and of the Cyrenians, and of the Alexandrians, and of them of Cilicia and Asia, disputing with Stephen.

⁵⁴ Now when they heard these things, they were cut to the heart, and they gnashed on him with their teeth.

⁵⁷ But they cried out with a loud voice, and stopped their ears, and rushed upon him with one accord,

⁵⁹ And they stoned Stephen, calling upon the Lord, and saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit. ⁶⁰ And he kneeled down, and cried with a loud voice, Lord, lay not this sin to their charge. And when he had said this, he fell asleep.

¹⁹ saying, Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I lay my hands, he may receive the Holy Spirit.

³² Now the passage of the Scripture which he was reading was this, He was led as a sheep to the slaughter, And as a lamb before his shearer is dumb, So he openeth not his mouth:

² a devout man, and one that feared God with all his house, who gave much alms to the people, and prayed to God always.

²² And they said, Cornelius a centurion, a righteous man and one that feareth God, and well reported of by all the nation of the Jews, was warned of God by a holy angel to send for thee into his house, and to hear words from thee.

³⁷ that saying ye yourselves know, which was published throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached,

²⁴ for he was a good man, and full of the Holy Spirit and of faith; and much people was added unto the Lord.

¹ Now there were at Antioch, in the church that was there, prophets and teachers, Barnabas, and Simeon that was called Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manaen the foster-brother of Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.

²⁸ And though they found no cause of death in him, yet asked they of Pilate that he should be slain. ²⁹ And when they had fulfilled all things that were written of him, they took him down from the tree, and laid him in a tomb.

²⁰ and when they had brought them unto the magistrates, they said, These men, being Jews, do exceedingly trouble our city, ²¹ and set forth customs which it is not lawful for us to receive, or to observe, being Romans.

³¹ And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus, and thou shalt be saved, thou and thy house.

³⁷ But Paul said unto them, They have beaten us publicly, uncondemned, men that are Romans, and have cast us into prison, and do they now cast us out privily? Nay verily, but let them come themselves and bring us out.

⁶ And when they found them not, they dragged Jason and certain brethren before the rulers of the city, crying, These that have turned the world upside down are come hither also, ⁷ whom Jason hath received; and these all act contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying that there is another king, one Jesus.

²¹ testifying both to Jews and to Greeks repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.

³⁶ for the multitude of the people followed after, crying out, Away with him.

²² And they gave him audience unto this word, and they lifted up their voice, and said, Away with such a fellow from the earth; for it was not fitting that he should live.

¹⁰ And when there arose a great dissension, the chief captain, fearing lest Paul should be torn in pieces by them, commanded the soldiers to go down and take him by force from among them, and bring him into the castle.

⁵ For we have found this man a pestilent fellow, and a mover of insurrections among all the Jews throughout the world, and a ringleader of the sect of the Nazarenes:

¹³ Neither can they prove against me the things whereof they now accuse me.

²⁰ And the law came in besides, that the trespass might abound, but where sin abounded, grace did abound more exceedingly: ²¹ that, as sin reigned in death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

⁹ because if thou shalt confess with thy mouth Jesus as Lord, and shalt believe in thy heart that God raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved: ¹⁰ for with the heart man believeth unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. ¹¹ For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be put to shame. ¹² For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, and is rich unto all that call upon him: ¹³ for, Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. ¹⁴ How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?

¹⁴ Bless them that persecute you, bless, and curse not.

⁸ which none of the rulers of this world hath known; for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory:

¹² and we toil, working with our own hands; being reviled, we bless, being persecuted, we endure,

¹⁰ nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. ¹¹ And such were some of you; but ye were washed, but ye were sanctified, but ye were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, and in the Spirit of our God.

⁸ we are of good courage, I say, and are willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be at home with the Lord.

³ And I know such a man (whether in the body, or out of the body, I know not, God knoweth), ⁴ how that he was caught up into Paradise, and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter.

¹³ Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us, for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:

¹⁴ For he is our peace, who made both one, and brake down the middle wall of partition, ¹⁵ having abolished in the flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances, that he might create in himself of the two one new man, so making peace, ¹⁶ and might reconcile them both in one body unto God through the cross, having slain the enmity thereby: ¹⁷ and he came and preached peace to you that were far off, and to them that were nigh: ¹⁸ for through him we both have our access in one Spirit unto the Father.

¹¹ and have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather even reprove them,

²³ But I am in a strait betwixt the two, having the desire to depart and be with Christ, for it is very far better:

¹³ though I was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious; howbeit I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief,

¹⁵ Faithful is the saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am chief: ¹⁶ howbeit for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me as chief might Jesus Christ show forth all his longsuffering, for an ensample of them that should thereafter believe on him unto eternal life.

¹³ I charge thee in the sight of God, who giveth life to all things, and of Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate witnessed the good confession,

⁸ but if it beareth thorns and thistles, it is rejected and nigh unto a curse, whose end is to be burned.

¹⁹ which we have as an anchor of the soul, a hope both sure and stedfast and entering into that which is within the veil,

²⁵ Wherefore also he is able to save to the uttermost them that draw near unto God through him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them. ²⁶ For such a high priest became us, holy, guileless, undefiled, separated from sinners, and made higher than the heavens,

³ And after the second veil, the tabernacle which is called the Holy of holies, ⁴ having a golden altar of incense, and the ark of the covenant overlaid round about with gold, wherein was a golden pot holding the manna, and Aaron's rod that budded, and the tables of the covenant, ⁵ and above it cherubim of glory overshadowing the mercy-seat, of which things we cannot now speak severally. ⁶ Now these things having been thus prepared, the priests go in continually into the first tabernacle, accomplishing the services, ⁷ but into the second the high priest alone, once in the year, not without blood, which he offereth for himself, and for the errors of the people: ⁸ the Holy Spirit this signifying, that the way into the holy place hath not yet been made manifest, while the first tabernacle is yet standing,

¹⁹ Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holy place by the blood of Jesus, ²⁰ by the way which he dedicated for us, a new and living way, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh, ²¹ and having a great priest over the house of God, ²² let us draw near with a true heart in fullness of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience; and having our body washed with pure water,

² looking unto Jesus the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising shame, and hath sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

¹² Wherefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people through his own blood, suffered without the gate. ¹³ Let us therefore go forth unto him without the camp, bearing his reproach.

⁷ Be subject therefore unto God, but resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

¹¹ searching what time or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did point unto, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glories that should follow them.

¹⁹ but with precious blood, as of a lamb without spot, even the blood of Christ:

⁴ unto whom coming, a living stone, rejected indeed of men, but with God elect, precious,

⁶ Because it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Zion a chief corner stone, elect, precious; And he that believeth on him shall not be put to shame. ⁷ For you therefore that believe is the preciousness; but for such as disobey, The stone which the builders rejected, The same was made the head of the corner,

²⁰ For what glory is it, if, when ye sin, and are buffeted for it, ye shall take it patiently? but if, when ye do well, and suffer for it, ye shall take it patiently, this is acceptable with God. ²¹ For hereunto were ye called; because Christ also suffered for us, leaving you an example, that ye should follow his steps: ²² who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth:

²² who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth: ²³ who, when he was reviled, reviled not again, when he suffered threatened not, but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously:

²³ who, when he was reviled, reviled not again, when he suffered threatened not, but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously: ²⁴ who his own self bare our sins in his body upon the tree, that we, having died unto sins, might live unto righteousness, by whose stripes ye were healed.

⁹ not rendering evil for evil, or reviling for reviling, but contrariwise blessing, knowing that hereunto were ye called, that ye should inherit a blessing.

¹⁶ having a good conscience, that, wherein they may speak against you as evildoers, they may be put to shame who revile your good manner of life in Christ. ¹⁷ For it is better, if the will of God should so will, that ye suffer for well-doing than for evil-doing. ¹⁸ Because Christ also suffered for sins once, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring you to God, being put to death in the flesh, but made alive in the spirit,
