⁹ Linger ye, and wonder; delight yourselves, and be ye blinded; they were drunken and not with wine; they reeled and not with strong drink. ¹⁰ For Jehovah poured out upon you the spirit of deep sleep, and he will close your eyes: the prophets and your heads, the seeing he covered. ¹¹ And the vision of all will be to you as the words of the book being sealed, which they shall give to him, to him knowing writing, saying, Read now, this: and he said, I shall not be able, for it was sealed. ¹² And the book was given to him not knowing writing, saying, Read now, this: and he said, I know not writing.

¹⁴ For this, behold me adding to be wonderful with this people, dealing wonderfully and being a wonder: and the wisdom of their wise perished, and the understanding of their understanding ones shall be hid.

²⁰ For the terrible one ceased, the mocker was consumed, and they watching vanity were cut off: ²¹ Leading a man into sin by a word, and laying snares for him doing justice in the gate, and they will turn aside the just one by vanity.

²⁸ And I shall see, and no man; and from these, and no counselor; and I shall ask them, and they will not turn back a word.

¹⁹ Who blind but my servant? and deaf as my messenger I shall send? who blind he being perfect? and blind as the servant of Jehovah? ²⁰ Seeing many things, and thou wilt not watch; opening the ears, and he will not bear.

¹⁸ They will not know, and they will not discern: he spread over their eyes from seeing; their heart from considering.

²¹ And I planted thee a vine of purple grapes, wholly a true seed: and how didst thou turn to me the removings of a strange vine?

³⁰ In vain did I strike your sons; they received no instruction: your sword consumed the prophets as a lion destroying.

²⁴ And they said not in their heart, Now will we fear Jehovah our God, giving rain, and the early and latter rain in its time: the appointed sevenths of harvest he will watch for us

⁶ Ye shall not oppress the stranger, the orphan and the widow, and innocent blood ye shall not pour out in this place, and after other gods ye shall not go, for evil to you; ⁷ And I caused you to dwell in this place, in the land which I gave to your fathers from forever even to forever. ⁸ Behold, you trusting to yourselves upon words of falsehood not to receive profit. ⁹ Stealing, killing, and committing adultery, and swearing for falsehood, and burning incense to Baal, and going after other gods which ye knew not; ¹⁰ And ye came and stood before me in this house which my name was called upon it, and ye said, We were delivered to do all these abominations.

⁷ Also the stork in the heavens knew her appointment; and the turtle-dove, and the swallow, and the twitterer watched the time of their coming; and my people knew not the judgment of Jehovah. ⁸ How shall ye say, We are wise, and the law of Jehovah with us? Behold, surely for falsehood he made the style of the scribes a lie. ⁹ The wise were ashamed, they were confounded, and they will be taken: behold, they rejected in the word of Jehovah; and what wisdom to them?

¹⁹ And I as a gentle lamb being brought to the slaughter; and I knew not that against me they purposed purposes: We will destroy the tree with its food, and we will cut him off from the land of the living, and his name shall no more be remembered.

¹⁸ And they will say, Come, and we will purpose purposes against Jeremiah; for law shall not perish from the priest, and counsel from the wise, and the word from the prophet Come, and we will strike him with the tongue, and we will not attend to any of his words.

² And Pashur will strike Jeremiah the prophet and give him upon the stocks which were in the gate of Benjamin the highest, which were in the house of Jehovah.

¹⁰ For I heard the slander of many, terror from round about Announce ye, and we will announce. Every man of my peace watching my halting: perhaps he will be persuaded, and we shall prevail against him, and we will take our vengeance of him.

³⁰ Thus said Jehovah, Write ye this man destitute, a man shall not prosper in his days: for not a man of his seed shall prosper, sitting upon the throne of David, and ruling yet in Judah.

⁵ Behold the days coming, says Jehovah, and I raised up to David a just sprout, and a king reigned and prospered, and he did judgment and justice in the earth. ⁶ In his days shall Judah be saved, and Israel shall dwell with confidence: and this his name which he shall be called: Jehovah Our Justice.

³ From the thirteenth year of Josiah son of Amon, king of Judah, and even to this day, this the three and twentieth year, the word of Jehovah was to me, and I will speak to you, rising early and speaking, and ye heard not ⁴ And Jehovah sent to you all his servants the prophets, rising early and sending; and ye heard not, and ye inclined not your ear to hear. ⁵ Saying, Turn back now each from his evil way, and from the evil of your doings, and dwell upon the land which Jehovah gave to you and to your fathers to from forever and even to forever. ⁶ And ye shall not go after other gods to serve them and to worship to them, and ye shall not irritate me in the work of your hands; and I will not do evil to you. ⁷ And ye heard not to me, says Jehovah; so as to irritate me in the works of your hands for evil to you.

² Thus said Jehovah, Stand in the enclosure of the house of Jehovah and speak to all the cities of Judah coming to worship in the house of Jehovah, all the words which I command thee to speak to them; thou shalt not withhold a word. ³ Perhaps they will hear and turn back a man from his evil way, and I lamented for the evil which I purposed to do to them from the face of the evil of their doings. ⁴ And say to them, Thus said Jehovah, If ye will not hear to me to go in my law which I gave before your face, ⁵ To hear to the words of my servants the prophets which I sent to you, and rising early and sending, and ye heard not; ⁶ And I gave this house as Shiloh, and this city I will give for cursing to all the nations of the earth.

²⁰ And also a man was prophesying in the name of Jehovah, Urijah son of Shemaiah, from the city of the forests, and he will prophesy against this city and against this land according to all the words of Jeremiah. ²¹ And king Jehoiakim will hear, and all the great ones, and all the chiefs, his words, and the king will seek to kill him: and Urijah will hear and be afraid, and he will flee and go to Egypt ²² And king Jehoiakim will send men to Egypt, Elnathan, son of Achbor, and men with him to Egypt ²³ And they will bring forth Urijah from Egypt and bring him to king Jehoiakim; and he will strike him with the sword, and cast his carcass into the graves of the sons of the people. ²⁴ But the hand of Ahikam son of Shaphan was with Jeremiah not to give him into the hand of the people to kill him.

²⁶ Jehovah gave thee priest instead of Jehoida the priest to be overseers of the house of Jehovah, and for every man raving and prophesying, and give him to the stocks and to the prison. ²⁷ And now wherefore didst thou not reprove with Jeremiah of Anathoth prophesying to you?

¹⁵ In those days and in that time I will cause the sprout of justice to spring up to David; and he did judgment and justice in the land. ¹⁶ In those days shall Judah be saved, and Jerusalem shall dwell with confidence; and this is what shall be called to her: Jehovah our Justice.

²¹ Also my covenant shall be broken with David ray servant from there being to him a son reigning upon his throne; and with the Levites, the priests, from serving me.

¹⁵ And I shall send to you all my servants the prophets, rising early and sending, saying, Turn ye back now each from his evil way, and make good your doings, and ye shall not go after other gods to serve them, and turn ye back to the land which I gave to you and to your fathers: and ye inclined not your ear and ye heard not to me.

³ Perhaps the house of Judah will hear all the evil which I purpose to do to them; so that they will turn back each from his evil way; and I pardoned their iniquity and their sin.

⁷ Perhaps their mercy will fall before the face of Jehovah, and they will turn back each from his evil way: for great the anger and the wrath which Jehovah spake against this people.

¹⁵ And the chiefs will be angry against Jeremiah and they struck him, and gave him to the house of bonds the house of Jonathan the scribe: for they made it for a house of prison. ¹⁶ For Jeremiah came to the house of the pit, and to the vaults, and Jeremiah sat there many days.

⁴ And the chiefs will say to the king, Now shall this man be put to death: for thus he is relaxing the hands of the men of war remaining in this city, and the hands of all the people to speak to them according to these words; for this man sought not for peace to this people but for evil. ⁵ And king Zedekiah will say, Behold him in your hands; for the king will not be able a word with you. ⁶ And they will take Jeremiah and send him to the pit of Malchiah son of the king which was in the enclosure of the prison: and they will cast Jeremiah with cords, and in the pit no water but mud: and Jeremiah will sink in the mud.

² And they will say to Jeremiah the prophet, Now shall our supplication fall before thee, and pray thou for us to Jehovah thy God, for all this remnant; for we were left few from many as thine eyes see us. ³ And Jehovah thy God will announce to us the way which we shall go in it, and the word which we shall do.

⁴ And I will send to you all my servants the prophets, rising early and sending, saying, Now ye shall not do this abomination which I hated. ⁵ And they heard not and inclined not their ear to turn back from their evil, not to burn incense to other gods.

⁷ They made light of father and mother in thee: they did with violence to the stranger in the midst of thee: they oppresed the orphan and the widow in thee.

³¹ And they will come to thee, according to the coming of the people, and they will sit before thee my people, and they heard thy words, and they did them not: for they making loves with their mouth, their heart went after their plunder.

³⁴ Thou wert seeing even till a stone was cut out not with hands, and striking against the image upon the feet of iron and burnt clay, and breaking them in pieces. ³⁵ At that time were beaten small at once, the iron, the burnt clay, the brass, the silver and the gold, and they were as the chaff of the threshing-floor of summer; and the wind lifted them up and all place was not found for them: and the stone striking against the image was for a great rock, and filled all the earth.

⁴⁴ And in their days that they are kings, the God of the heavens shall set up a kingdom that shall not be destroyed forever: and its kingdom shall be left to another people; it shall beat small and destroy all these kingdoms, and this shall stand forever. ⁴⁵ Because that thou sawest that the stone being cut from the rock not with hands, and it beat small the iron, the brass, the burnt clay, the silver and the gold: the great God made known to the king what to be after this: and the dream certain, and its interpretation faithful.

²⁵ And for thee driving from men, and with the beasts of the open field to be thy dwelling, and they shall feed to thee grass as oxen, and wetting to thee from the dew of the heavens, and seven times shall pass over thee till that thou shalt know that the Most High rules in the kingdom of men, and to whom that he will, he will give it ²⁶ And that they said to leave the stump of the roots of the tree; thy kingdom being sure to thee, from when thou shalt know that the heavens rule.

² And many sleeping in the earth of dust shall awake, these to eternal life, and these to reproach and eternal abhorrence. ³ And those understanding shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and those justifying many, as the stars forever and ever.

⁴ What shall I do to thee, O Ephraim? What shall I do to thee, O Judah? and your kindness as the cloud of the morning, and as the dew being early went away.

⁴ What shall I do to thee, O Ephraim? What shall I do to thee, O Judah? and your kindness as the cloud of the morning, and as the dew being early went away. ⁵ For this I cut off by the prophets; I slew them by the words of my mouth: and thy judgments the light going forth. ⁶ For I delighted in mercy and not sacrifice; the knowledge of God more than burnt-offerings.

¹ Israel an empty vine, he will place fruit to himself: according to the multitude to his fruit he multiplied to his altars; according to the goodness of his land they made good pillars.

⁸ How shall I give thee up, O Ephraim? Shall I deliver thee over, O Israel? How shall I give thee as the earth? Shall I set thee as roes? My heart was turned upon me; my grievings were kindled together.

¹⁴ From the hand of hades will I redeem them; from death will I ransom them: I will be thy words, O death, I will be thy cutting off, O hades: consolation will be hid from mine eyes.

⁷ Panting for the dust of the earth upon the head of the poor, and they will turn away the way of the humble: and a man and his father will go to the same young girl to profane my holy name:

⁴ Hear this, ye, panting after the needy, to cause the humble of the, land to cease. ⁵ Saying, When will the month pass through, and we will sell grain? and the Sabbath, and we will open wheat to diminish the ephah, and to enlarge the shekel, and to make crooked the balance of deceit? ⁶ To buy the poor with silver, and the needy for shoes; and we will sell the refuse of the grain.

² And they desired fields, and they took by force; and houses, and they took away: and they oppressed a man and his house, and a man and his inheritance.

⁸ Aforetime my people for the enemy: he will raise them up from before the garment; ye will put off the wide cloak from those passing by with confidence, turning back the war.

² Hating the good and loving the evil; plucking off their skin from off them, and their flesh from off their bones.

³ And thou saidst to them, Thus said Jehovah of armies: Turn back to me, says Jehovah of armies, and I will turn back to you, said Jehovah of armies. ⁴ Ye shall not be as your fathers which the former prophets called to them, saying, Thus, said Jehovah of armies: Turn back now from your evil ways and your evil doings: and they heard not, and they attended not to me, says Jehovah. ⁵ Your fathers, where are they? and the prophets, shall they live forever? ⁶ But the words and the laws which I commanded my servants the prophets, did they not reach your fathers? and they will turn back and say, As Jehovah of armies purposed to do to us according to our ways and according to our doings, so he did with us.

⁷ Thus said Jehovah of armies: If thou wilt go in my way, and if thou shalt watch my watches, and thou also shalt judge my house, and also thou shalt watch my enclosure, and I gave to thee the goings between these standing by.

⁹ For behold the stone which I gave before Joshua; upon one stone seven eyes: behold me engraving its engraving, says Jehovah of armies, and I removed the iniquity of that land in one day.

⁹ Thus said Jehovah of armies, saying. Judge ye the judgment of truth, and do mercy and compassions each to his brother. ¹⁰ And the widow and the orphan, the stranger and the poor, ye shall not oppress; and ye shall not purpose evil in your heart a man to his brother. ¹¹ And they will refuse to attend, and they will give a stubborn shoulder, and their ears they made heavy from hearing. ¹² And their heart they set a diamond from hearing the instruction and the words which Jehovah of armies sent by his spirit by the hand of the former prophets: and there will be great wrath from Jehovah of armies. ¹³ And it will be as he called and they heard not; so they shall call, and I will not hear, said Jehovah of armies:

¹⁵ And Jehovah will say to me, Yet take to thee the vessels of a foolish shepherd.

¹⁷ Wo! to the empty shepherd forsaking the sheep; the sword upon his arm, and upon his right eye: and his arm being dried up, shall be dried up, and his right eye being dim, shall be dim.

³ And it was in that day I will set Jerusalem a stone of burden to all peoples: all loading her, being out; shall be cut; and all the nations of the earth were gathered together against her..

⁷ For the lips of the priest shall watch knowledge, and they shall seek the law from his mouth: for he is the messenger of Jehovah of armies. ⁸ And ye departed out of the way; ye made many weak by the law; ye corrupted the covenant of Levi, said Jehovah of armies. ⁹ And also I set you despised and low to all the people, according as ye watch not my way, and lift up the face against the law.

¹ The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, son of David, son of Abraham.

²³ Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which is, being interpreted, God with us.

² Where is he born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the sunrising, and have come to worship him. ³ And Herod the king having heard, was stirred up, and all Jerusalem with him. ⁴ And assembling all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he inquired of them where Christ should be born. ⁵ And they said to him, In Bethlehem of Judea: for thus has it been written by the prophet: ⁶ And thou Bethlehem, land of Judah, by no means art thou least among the leaders of Judah for out of thee shall come forth the leader, who shall feed my people. ⁷ Then Herod having secretly called for the magi, searched thoroughly from them the time of the star appearing. ⁸ And having sent them to Bethlehem, he said, Having gone, examine thoroughly concerning the child; and when ye should find, announce ye to me, so that I also, having gone, will worship him. ⁹ And they having heard the king went forth; and, behold the star they saw in the sunrising, it led before them, till having come, it stood above where the young child was. ¹⁰ And seeing the star, they rejoiced with great joy exceedingly. ¹¹ And having come into the house, they found the young child with Mary his mother, and having fallen, they worshipped him; and having opened their treasures they brought forward to him gifts, gold, and frankincense, and myrrh. ¹² And having received intimation of the divine will in a dream not to turn back to Herod, by another way they went back to their own country. ¹³ And they, having gone back, lo, the messenger of the Lord appears in a dream to Joseph, saying, Having risen, take to thyself the young child and his mother and flee into Egypt, and be there till I speak to thee; for Herod is about to seek the young child to destroy him. ¹⁴ And having risen, be took to himself the young child and his mother by night, and turned back in Egypt: ¹⁵ And was there till the death of Herod: that it might be completed having been spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying, Out of Egypt have I called my son. ¹⁶ Then Herod, seeing he was deluded by the magi, was very angry, and having sent, destroyed all the children which in Bethlehem, and in all its bounds, from two years and under, according to the time he examined thoroughly of the magi.

¹⁷ And behold a voice from the heavens, saying, This is my dearly beloved Son, in whom I was contented.

⁷ And these going forth, Jesus began to say to the crowds concerning John, What went ye forth into the desert to see? A reed shaken by the wind? ⁸ But what went ye out to see? A man clad in soft garments? but they having soft things are in king's houses. ⁹ But what went ye out to see? A prophet? yes, I say to you, and more eminent than a prophet.

⁹ But what went ye out to see? A prophet? yes, I say to you, and more eminent than a prophet. ¹⁰ For this is he for whom it was Written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee. ¹¹ Verily I say to you, in the begotten of women has there not risen a greater than John the Immerser; but the less in the kingdom of the heavens is greater than he. ¹² From the days of John the Immerser till now the kingdom of the heavens is achieved by force, and they committing violence seize it eagerly. ¹³ For all the prophets, And the law prophesied till John. ¹⁴ And if ye will receive, this is Elias he about to come. ¹⁵ He having ears to hear, let him hear. ¹⁶ To what shall I liken this generation I it is like little boys sitting in market-places, and calling to their companions, ¹⁷ And saying, We played the flute to you, and ye moved not; we lamented to you and ye lamented not. ¹⁸ For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He has an evil spirit. ¹⁹ The Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say, Behold a man a glutton, and wine drinker, a friend of publicans and sinful; and wisdom has been justified from her children.

²² But I say to you, To Tyre and Sidon shall it be more supportable in the day of judgment, than to you. ²³ And thou, Capernaum, lifted up even to heaven, thou shalt he brought down to hades: for if in the people of Sodom had been the powers being in thee, they had remained till this day. ²⁴ But I say to you, That to the land of Sodom it shall be more supportable in the day of judgment, than to you.

³² And whoever speaks a word against the Son of man, it shall be remitted to him; but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it shall not be let go to him, neither in this time, nor that about to be.

⁵ And wishing to kill him, he was afraid of the crowd, because they held John as a prophet.

² Wherefore do thy disciples pass by the tradition of the elders? for they wash not their hands when they eat bread. ³ And he, having answered, said to them, Wherefore do ye also pass by the command of God by your tradition

¹⁰ And having called the crowd, he said to them, Hear ye, and understand.

¹⁴ Let them go: they are blind guides of the blind. And if the blind guide the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.

¹ And the Pharisees and Sadducees having come, tempting, asked him to shew them a sign from heaven.

⁴ An evil and adulterous generation seeks for a sign; and no sign shall be given her, except the sign of Jonas the prophet. And having left them, he departed.

⁶ And Jesus said to them, Attend and keep from the leaven of the Pharisees and the Sadducees. ⁷ And they reasoned among themselves, saying, Because we took no loaves.

¹² Then understood they that he spake, not to keep from the leaven of bread, but from the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.

⁵ He yet speaking, behold, a shining cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is my dearly beloved Son, in whom I was contented; hear ye him.

¹¹ And Jesus having answered, said to them, Elias truly comes first and will re-establish all things. ¹² And I say to you, That Elias has already come, and they knew him not, but did by him whatever they would. So also the Son of man is about to suffer by them.

²⁵ He says, Yes. And when he came into the house, Jesus anticipated him, saying, What seems to thee, Simon? from whom do the kings of the earth take taxes or census? from their sons, or from strangers?

²⁷ But that we should not scandalize them, having gone to the sea, cast a fish hook, and lift up the fish coming up first, and having opened its mouth, thou shalt find a gold coin: having taken that, give to them for me and thee.

²⁸ But that servant having come, found one of his fellow-servants who owed him one hundred drachmas, and having seized, he choked him, saying, Give back to me what thou owest.

² And having agreed for a drachma a day, he sent them to his vineyard.

²³ And to him, having come into the temple to him teaching, came the chief priests and elders of the people, saying, By what authority doest thou these? and who gave thee this authority? ²⁴ And Jesus, having answered, said to them, I will also ask you one word, which if ye tell me, I also will tell you by what authority I do these. ²⁵ The baptism of John, whence was it of heaven or of men And they reasoned by themselves, saying, If we say, Of heaven; he will say to us, Why, then, believed ye him not?

²⁵ The baptism of John, whence was it of heaven or of men And they reasoned by themselves, saying, If we say, Of heaven; he will say to us, Why, then, believed ye him not?

²⁵ The baptism of John, whence was it of heaven or of men And they reasoned by themselves, saying, If we say, Of heaven; he will say to us, Why, then, believed ye him not? ²⁶ But if we say, Of men; we fear the crowd; for all hold John as a prophet.

²⁶ But if we say, Of men; we fear the crowd; for all hold John as a prophet.

²⁶ But if we say, Of men; we fear the crowd; for all hold John as a prophet. ²⁷ And having answered Jesus, they said, We know not. And he said to them, Neither do I say to you by what authority I do these.

²⁷ And having answered Jesus, they said, We know not. And he said to them, Neither do I say to you by what authority I do these.

²⁷ And having answered Jesus, they said, We know not. And he said to them, Neither do I say to you by what authority I do these. ²⁸ But what seems to you A man had two children; and having come to the first, he said, Child, retire to-day, work in my vineyard. ²⁹ And he, having answered, said, I will not; but afterward, having felt regret, he departed. ³⁰ And having come to the second, he said likewise. And he, having answered, said, I, Lord: and he departed not. ³¹ Which of the two did the father's will? They say to him, The first. Jesus says to them, Truly I say to you, that publicans and harlots go into the kingdom of God before you. ³² For John came to you in the way of justice, and ye believed him not: and the publicans and harlots believed him; and ye, seeing, repented not afterwards, to believe him. ³³ Hear another parable: A certain man was master of a house, who planted a vineyard, and put a hedge around it, and digged in it a winepress, and let it out to farmers, and went abroad: ³⁴ And when the time of the fruits drew near, he sent his servants to the farmers, to receive his parts.

³⁴ And when the time of the fruits drew near, he sent his servants to the farmers, to receive his parts.

³⁴ And when the time of the fruits drew near, he sent his servants to the farmers, to receive his parts. ³⁵ And the farmers having taken his servants, truly one they stripped, and one they killed, and one they stoned.

³⁵ And the farmers having taken his servants, truly one they stripped, and one they killed, and one they stoned. ³⁶ Again he sent other servants, more than the first, and they did to them likewise.

³⁶ Again he sent other servants, more than the first, and they did to them likewise. ³⁷ And afterwards he sent to them his son, saying, They will be changed by my son.

³⁷ And afterwards he sent to them his son, saying, They will be changed by my son. ³⁸ And the farmers, seeing the son, said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and possess his inheritance.

³⁸ And the farmers, seeing the son, said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and possess his inheritance. ³⁹ And having taken, they cast out of the vineyard, and killed.

³⁹ And having taken, they cast out of the vineyard, and killed. ⁴⁰ When, therefore, the lord of the vineyard should come, what will he do to those farmers?

⁴⁰ When, therefore, the lord of the vineyard should come, what will he do to those farmers? ⁴¹ They say to him, He will miserably destroy these wicked, and let out the vineyard to other farmers, who will give back to him the fruits in their seasons.

⁴¹ They say to him, He will miserably destroy these wicked, and let out the vineyard to other farmers, who will give back to him the fruits in their seasons. ⁴² Jesus says to them, Have ye never read in the writings, The stone which the builders disapproved of, this was for the head of the corner? This was from the Lord, and it was wonderful in your eyes.

⁴² Jesus says to them, Have ye never read in the writings, The stone which the builders disapproved of, this was for the head of the corner? This was from the Lord, and it was wonderful in your eyes. ⁴³ For this I say to you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and shall be given to a nation doing its fruits. ⁴⁴ And he falling upon this stone shall be crushed: but upon whomsoever it should fall, it shall winnow him.

⁴⁴ And he falling upon this stone shall be crushed: but upon whomsoever it should fall, it shall winnow him. ⁴⁵ And the chief priests and Pharisees, having heard his parable, knew that he spake of them. ⁴⁶ And seeking to lay hold on him, they feared the crowd, since they held him as a prophet.

⁴⁶ And seeking to lay hold on him, they feared the crowd, since they held him as a prophet.

³ And he sent his servants to those having been called to the nuptial feast: and they would not come. ⁴ And again, he sent other servants, saying, Say to the called: Behold, I have prepared my supper; my bulls and stall-fed killed, and all prepared: come to the nuptials. ⁵ And they, not having heeded, departed, one truly to his own field, and one to his traffic: ⁶ And the rest, having seized his servants, were insolent, and killed them. ⁷ And the king, having heard, was angry, and having sent his armies, destroyed those murderers, and burned their city.

⁷ And the king, having heard, was angry, and having sent his armies, destroyed those murderers, and burned their city. ⁸ Then says he to his servants, Truly the nuptial feast is prepared, and those called were not worthy. ⁹ Go ye, therefore, to the passages of the ways, and as many as ye should find, call to the nuptial feast. ¹⁰ And those servants, having come to the ways, gathered together all, as many as they found, also both the evil and good, and the nuptial feast was filled with the reclining. ¹¹ And the king, having come in to behold the reclining, saw there a man not clad with the garment of the wedding: ¹² And he says to him, Friend, how camest thou in here, not having a garment of the nuptial feast? And he was muzzled.

¹² And he says to him, Friend, how camest thou in here, not having a garment of the nuptial feast? And he was muzzled. ¹³ Then said the king to his servants, Having bound his feet and hands, take him away, and cast ye him into outer darkness; weeping shall be there, and gnashing of teeth. ¹⁴ For many are called, and few chosen. ¹⁵ Then the Pharisees, having gone, took counsel how they might ensnare him in word.

¹⁵ Then the Pharisees, having gone, took counsel how they might ensnare him in word. ¹⁶ And they send to him their disciples, with the Herodians, saying, Teacher, we know that thou art true, and teachest the way of God in truth, and care is to thee for none; for thou lookest not to the face of men.

¹⁶ And they send to him their disciples, with the Herodians, saying, Teacher, we know that thou art true, and teachest the way of God in truth, and care is to thee for none; for thou lookest not to the face of men.

¹⁶ And they send to him their disciples, with the Herodians, saying, Teacher, we know that thou art true, and teachest the way of God in truth, and care is to thee for none; for thou lookest not to the face of men. ¹⁷ Therefore say to us, What seems to thee Is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar, or not?

¹⁷ Therefore say to us, What seems to thee Is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar, or not?

¹⁷ Therefore say to us, What seems to thee Is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar, or not? ¹⁸ But Jesus, having known their evil, said, Why tempt ye me, hypocrites?

¹⁸ But Jesus, having known their evil, said, Why tempt ye me, hypocrites?

¹⁸ But Jesus, having known their evil, said, Why tempt ye me, hypocrites?

²⁰ And he says to them, Whose is this image and inscription?

²⁰ And he says to them, Whose is this image and inscription? ²¹ They say to him, Caesar's. Then says he to them, Give back then to Caesar the things of Caesar; and the things of God to God.

²¹ They say to him, Caesar's. Then says he to them, Give back then to Caesar the things of Caesar; and the things of God to God.

²¹ They say to him, Caesar's. Then says he to them, Give back then to Caesar the things of Caesar; and the things of God to God.

²¹ They say to him, Caesar's. Then says he to them, Give back then to Caesar the things of Caesar; and the things of God to God. ²² And having heard, they wondered, and having left him, they departed.

²² And having heard, they wondered, and having left him, they departed.

²² And having heard, they wondered, and having left him, they departed. ²³ In that day the Sadducees came to him, they saying there is to be no rising up: and they asked him, ²⁴ Saying, Teacher, Moses said, If any one die, not having children, his brother shall marry his wife, and raise up seed to his brother.

²⁴ Saying, Teacher, Moses said, If any one die, not having children, his brother shall marry his wife, and raise up seed to his brother. ²⁵ And with us were seven brethren: and the first, having married, died; and having no seed, he left his wife to his brother.

²⁵ And with us were seven brethren: and the first, having married, died; and having no seed, he left his wife to his brother. ²⁶ And likewise the second, and third, even till the seven.

²⁶ And likewise the second, and third, even till the seven. ²⁷ And after all died also the woman.

²⁷ And after all died also the woman. ²⁸ Therefore in the rising up whose of the seven shall the woman be? for they all had her.

²⁸ Therefore in the rising up whose of the seven shall the woman be? for they all had her. ²⁹ And Jesus, having answered, said to them, Ye are led astray, not having known the writings, nor the power of God.

²⁹ And Jesus, having answered, said to them, Ye are led astray, not having known the writings, nor the power of God. ³⁰ For in the rising up they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the messengers of God in heaven.

³⁰ For in the rising up they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the messengers of God in heaven. ³¹ And for the rising up of the dead, read ye not that spoken by God, saying, ³² I am God of Abraham, and God of Isaac, and God of Jacob? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living. ³³ And the crowds having heard, were astonished at his teaching. ³⁴ And the Pharisees having heard that he muzzled the Sadducees, were gathered upon the same.

³⁴ And the Pharisees having heard that he muzzled the Sadducees, were gathered upon the same. ³⁵ And one of them, skilled in the law, asked, tempting him, and saying, ³⁶ Teacher, which the great command in the law? ³⁷ And Jesus said to him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with thy whole heart, and with thy whole soul, and with thy whole mind. ³⁸ This is the first and the great command. ³⁹ And the second like it: Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. ⁴⁰ In these two commands hang the whole law and the prophets. ⁴¹ And the Pharisees having been gathered together, Jesus asked them, ⁴² Saying, What seems to you about Christ? Whose son is he They say to him, David's. ⁴³ He says to them, How then does David in spirit call him Lord, saying, ⁴⁴ The Lord said to my Lord, Sit by my right, till I make thine enemies the footstool of my feet ⁴⁵ If, therefore, David calls him Lord, how is he his son ⁴⁶ And none could answer him a word, nor dared any one from that day to ask him any more.

¹ Then spake Jesus to the crowds and to his disciples, ² Saying, Upon Moses' seat sat the scribes and Pharisees.

⁵ And all their works do they, to be seen by men: and make broad their preservatives, and enlarge the border of their garments ⁶ And love the first place at suppers, and the first seat in the assemblies, ⁷ And greetings in the markets, and to be called by men, Rabbi, Rabbi.

¹³ Woe to you scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye lock up the kingdom of the heavens before men: for ye come not in yourselves, neither those coming in, permit ye to come in.

²⁶ O blind Pharisee, cleanse first the inside of the cup, and side dish of sweetmeats, that also their outside might be clean. ²⁷ Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like whitewashed tombs, which without indeed appear beautiful, but within are full of the bones of the dead, and of all uncleanness. ²⁸ So also ye without truly appear just to men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.

³⁰ And say, If we had been in the days of our fathers, we had not been their partakers in the blood of the prophets, ³¹ Wherefore ye bear testimony to yourselves, that ye are the sons of those having slain the prophets. ³² And fill ye up yourselves the measure of your fathers. ³³ Serpents, generations of vipers, how would ye flee from the judgment of hell? ³⁴ Therefore, behold, I send to you prophets, and the wise, and scribes: and of them shall ye kill and crucify; and of them shall ye chastise in your assemblies, and drive out from city to city, ³⁵ So that all the just blood shed upon the earth might come upon you, from the blood of just Abel to the blood of Zacharias, son of Barachias, whom ye killed between the temple and altar. ³⁶ Truly I say to you, All these shall come upon this generation. ³⁷ Jerusalem, Jerusalem, killing the prophets, and stoning those sent to her; how often did I wish to gather thy children together, which manner a bird gathers together her young broods under the wings, and ye would not!

¹⁴ For as a man going abroad, called his own servants, and delivered them his possessions:

³ Then were gathered together the chief priests, and scribes, and the more ancient of the people, into the court-yard of the chief priest, called Caliaphas, ⁴ And they counselled together, that they might obtain Jesus by stratagem, and might kill. ⁵ And they said, Not in the festival, lest there should be an uproar among the people.

⁴⁹ And quickly having come to Jesus, he said, Hail, Rabbi! and kissed him. ⁵⁰ And Jesus said to him, Friend, for what comest thou? Then having come near, they put hands upon Jesus, and held him firmly.

⁵⁵ In that hour, Jesus said to the crowds, As against a robber came ye out, with swords and sticks, to take me? In the day I sat down with you, teaching, and ye took not hold of me.

² And having bound they brought him away, and they delivered him to Pontius Pilate, the leader.

²¹ And the leader having answered, said to them, Which of the two will ye I shall loose to you? And they said, Barabbas. ²² Pilate says to them, What then shall I do with Jesus, called Christ? They all say to him, Let him be crucified., ²³ And the leader said, For what evil hath he done? and they cried excessively, saying, Let him be crucified. ²⁴ And Pilate, seeing that it profits nothing, but there is rather an uproar, having taken water, he washed his hands before the crowd, saying, I am guiltless of the blood of this just one: ye shall see yourselves. ²⁵ And all the people having answered, said, His blood upon us, and upon our children.

² And they were observing him narrowly, if in the sabbaths he will heal him; that they might accuse him.

⁵ And having looked round upon them with anger, grieved for the hardness of their heart, he says to the man, Stretch out thy hand. And he stretched out: and his hand was restored whole as the other.

¹⁵ And he enjoined them, saying, See ye, look away from the leaven of the Pharisees, and the leaven of Herod.

³⁴ And having called the crowd with his disciples, he said to them, Whoever wills to come after me, let him absolutely deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

²³ And Jesus having looked round, said to his disciples, With what difficulty shall they having property enter into the kingdom of God

²⁷ And they come again to Jerusalem : and he walking in the temple, the chief priests, and scribes, and elders come to him, ²⁸ And say to him, By what power doest thou these things? and who gave thee this power that thou doest these things ? ²⁹ And Jesus having answered, said to them, And I will ask you one word, and answer ye me, and I will tell you by what power I do these things. ³⁰ Was the immersion of John from heaven, or from men ? answer me. ³¹ And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we say, From heaven; he will say, Wherefore did ye not believe him ³² But if we say, Of men; they feared the people : for all held John, that he was truly a prophet. ³³ And having answered they say to Jesus, We know not. And Jesus having answered, says to them, Neither say I to you by what power I do these things.

³³ And having answered they say to Jesus, We know not. And Jesus having answered, says to them, Neither say I to you by what power I do these things.

¹ And be began to speak to them in parables. A man planted a vineyard, and put a fence round, and digged a winefat, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went abroad. ² And he sent a servant to the husbandmen in time, that he might receive of the husbandmen from the fruit of the vineyard.

² And he sent a servant to the husbandmen in time, that he might receive of the husbandmen from the fruit of the vineyard. ³ And they, taking him, stripped, and sent away empty.

³ And they, taking him, stripped, and sent away empty. ⁴ And again he sent to them another servant; and having stoned the same they treated in a summary manner, and sent away despised.

⁴ And again he sent to them another servant; and having stoned the same they treated in a summary manner, and sent away despised. ⁵ And again he sent another; and him they killed, and many others; truly stripping some, and killing some.

⁵ And again he sent another; and him they killed, and many others; truly stripping some, and killing some. ⁶ Yet therefore having one dearly beloved son, and him he sent last to them, saying, That they will be changed by my son.

⁶ Yet therefore having one dearly beloved son, and him he sent last to them, saying, That they will be changed by my son. ⁷ And these husbandmen said with themselves, That this is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the inheritance shall be our's.

⁷ And these husbandmen said with themselves, That this is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the inheritance shall be our's. ⁸ And they having taken him, killed, and cast out of the vineyard.

⁸ And they having taken him, killed, and cast out of the vineyard. ⁹ Therefore what will the lord of the vineyard do? he will come and destroy the hushandmen, and give the vineyard to others.

⁹ Therefore what will the lord of the vineyard do? he will come and destroy the hushandmen, and give the vineyard to others. ¹⁰ And have ye not read this writing; The stone which the builders disapproved of, this was for the head of the corner:

¹⁰ And have ye not read this writing; The stone which the builders disapproved of, this was for the head of the corner: ¹¹ This was of the Lord, and is wonderful in our eyes? ¹² And they sought to seize him, and they feared the crowd: for they knew that he spake this parable against them: and having let him go they went away.

¹² And they sought to seize him, and they feared the crowd: for they knew that he spake this parable against them: and having let him go they went away. ¹³ And they sent to him certain of the Pharisees and of the Herodians, that they might catch him in the word. ¹⁴ And they having come, say to him, Teacher, we know that thou art true, and thou carest not for any one: for thou lookest not to the face of men, but in truth thou teachest the way of God: Is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar, or no?

¹⁴ And they having come, say to him, Teacher, we know that thou art true, and thou carest not for any one: for thou lookest not to the face of men, but in truth thou teachest the way of God: Is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar, or no? ¹⁵ Should we give, or not give? And he knowing their hypocrisy, said to them, Why tempt ye me? bring me a drachma that I might see it. ¹⁶ And they brought. And he says to them, Whose is this image and inscription? And they said to him, Caesar's. ¹⁷ And Jesus having answered, said to them, Give back Caesar's things to Caesar, and the things of God to God. And they wondered at him.

¹⁷ And Jesus having answered, said to them, Give back Caesar's things to Caesar, and the things of God to God. And they wondered at him. ¹⁸ And the Sadducees come to him, who say there is no rising up; and they asked him, saying, ¹⁹ Teacher, Moses wrote to us, That if any one's brother die, and leave his wife, and leave no children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed to his brother.

¹⁹ Teacher, Moses wrote to us, That if any one's brother die, and leave his wife, and leave no children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed to his brother. ²⁰ There were seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and dying left no seed.

²⁰ There were seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and dying left no seed. ²¹ And the second took her, and died, and neither left he seed: and the third likewise.

²¹ And the second took her, and died, and neither left he seed: and the third likewise. ²² And the seven took her, and left no seed: and the woman died last of all.

²² And the seven took her, and left no seed: and the woman died last of all. ²³ Therefore in the rising up, when they should rise, to which of them shall the woman be? for the seven had her a wife.

²³ Therefore in the rising up, when they should rise, to which of them shall the woman be? for the seven had her a wife. ²⁴ And Jesus having answered, said to them, For this do ye not go astray, not knowing the writings, nor the power of God?

²⁴ And Jesus having answered, said to them, For this do ye not go astray, not knowing the writings, nor the power of God? ²⁵ For when they arise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the messengers which in the heavens.

²⁵ For when they arise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the messengers which in the heavens. ²⁶ And concerning the dead that they are raised: have ye not read in the book of Moses, at the bramble, how God spake to him, I the God of Abraham, and God of Isaac, and God of Jacob ²⁷ He is not God of the dead, but God of the living; ye therefore go astray greatly. ²⁸ And one of the scribes having come, having heard them seeking out together, knowing that he answered them well, asked him, Which is the first command of all? ²⁹ And Jesus answered him, That the first of all the commands, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord: ³⁰ And thou shalt love the Lord thy God from thy whole heart, and from thy whole soul, and from thy whole mind, and from thy whole strength: this the first command. ³¹ And the second like it, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. No other command is greater than these. ³² And the scribe said to him, Well, Teacher, in truth hast thou spoken: for one God is; and there is no other but he: ³³ And to love him from the whole heart, and from the whole understanding, and from the whole soul, and from the whole strength, and to love the neighbor as himself, is more than all the whole burnt offerrings, and the sacrifices. ³⁴ And Jesus having seen him that he answered understandingly, said to him, Thou art not far from the kingdom of God. And none dared to ask him any more.

³⁴ And Jesus having seen him that he answered understandingly, said to him, Thou art not far from the kingdom of God. And none dared to ask him any more. ³⁵ And Jesus having answered, said, teaching in the temple, How say the scribes that Christ is the son of David ³⁶ For David himself said in the Holy Spirit, The Lord said to my Lord, Sit from my right hand, till I set thine enemies the footstool of thy feet. ³⁷ Therefore David himself calls him Lord; and whence is he his son? And a great crowd heard him willingly. ³⁸ And he said to them in his teaching, Look from the scribes, wishing to walk in robes, and greetings in market-places, ³⁹ And first seats in synagogues, and first place at tables in first meals: ⁴⁰ They eating in widows' houses, and praying long for a pretext: these shall receive more abundant judgment.

³¹ And, behold, thou shalt conceive in the womb, and shalt bear a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS. ³² He shall be great, and he shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give him the throne of David his father: ³³ And he shall reign over the house of Jacob forever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end. ³⁴ And Mary said to the messenger, How shall this be, since I. know not man? ³⁵ And the messenger having answered, said to her, The Holy Spirit shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: wherefore also the holy thing born of thee shall be called the Son of God.

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

¹ And it was in those days an order came out from Caesar Angustus, for the whole habitable globe to be enrolled.

¹¹ For this day a Saviour was born to you, who is Christ the Lord, in the city of David.

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

²² And Jesus having known their reflections, having answered, said to them, What do ye reason with yourselves in your hearts?

⁸ And he knew their reflections, and said to the man having the withered hand, Arise, and stand in the midst. And having risen, he stood.

²⁶ But what went ye out to see? A prophet? Yea, I say to you, superior to a prophet. ²⁷ This is he of whom it has been written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee. ²⁸ For I say to you, Among the begotten of women none is a greater prophet than John the Immerser; and the less in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.

²⁸ For I say to you, Among the begotten of women none is a greater prophet than John the Immerser; and the less in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he. ²⁹ And all the people having heard, and the publicans, justified God, having been immersed with the immersion of John.

²⁹ And all the people having heard, and the publicans, justified God, having been immersed with the immersion of John. ³⁰ And the Pharisees, and they pertaining to the law, rejected the counsel of God against themselves, not immersed by him. ³¹ And the Lord said, To whom shall I liken the men of this generation? and to whom are they like? ³² They are like children sitting in the market-place, and calling to one another, and saying, We played the flute to you, and ye danced not; we lamented to you, and ye wept not. ³³ For John the Immerser came, neither eating bread, nor drinking wine, and ye say, He has a demon. ³⁴ The Son of man came eating and drinking; and ye say, Behold a man, a glutton, and wine-drinker, a friend of publicans and sinful. ³⁵ And wisdom was justified of all her children.

¹ And it was afterwards, and he passed through city and town proclaiming and announcing good news, the kingdom of God; and the twelve with him,

³⁵ And there was a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is my dearly beloved Son: hear him.

¹² And I say to you, that it shall be more supportable in that day for Sodom, than for that city. ¹³ Woe to thee Chorazin! woe to thee Bethsaida! for if in Tyre and Sidon were the powers having been in you, long since had they changed the mind, sitting in sackcloth and ashes. ¹⁴ But for Tyre and Sidon shall it be more supportable in judgment, than for you.

¹⁶ And others, tempting, sought a sign of him from heaven. ¹⁷ And he, knowing their thoughts, said to them, Every kingdom divided against itself is rendered desolate; and a house against a house falls.

⁴³ Woe to you, Pharisees! for ye love the first seat in assemblies, and greetings in market-places.

⁴⁷ Woe to you! for ye build the tombs of the prophets, and your fathers killed them. ⁴⁸ Surely ye testify and assent to your fathers' works: for they indeed killed them, and ye build their tombs. ⁴⁹ And for this said the wisdom of God, I will send them prophets and the sent, and of them shall they kill and drive out: ⁵⁰ That the blood of all the prophets shed from the foundation of the world be required of this generation;

⁵³ And he saying these things to them, the scribes and Pharisees began to hold on greatly, and to put questions to him of many things: ⁵⁴ Laying wait for him, and seeking to seize something out of his mouth, that they might accuse him.

⁵⁴ Laying wait for him, and seeking to seize something out of his mouth, that they might accuse him.

¹ Upon which, myriads of the crowd having been gathered together, so as to tread upon one another, he began to speak to his disciples first, Keep yourselves from the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.

⁴⁷ And that servant having known his lord's will, and not prepared, neither having done his will, shall be skinned with many. ⁴⁸ And he not having known, and having done things worthy of blows, shall be skinned with few. And to every one to whom much was given, shall much be required of him: and with whom they have deposited much, they will ask of him the more.

¹⁷ And he saying these things, all opposed to him were ashamed: and the crowd rejoiced for all the glorious things done by him.

³⁴ Jerusalem, Jerusalem, killing the prophets, and striking with stones those having been sent to her; how often I wished to gather thy children together, which manner a hen her young brood under the wings, and ye would not!

⁷ And he spake a parable to the called, fixing his attention how they chose out the first places at table; saying to them,

¹⁸ Having risen, I will go to my father, and say to him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee,

⁸ And the Lord praised the steward of injustice, because he did wisely: for the sons of this life are wiser than the children of light in their generation.

²⁷ They ate, they drank, they married, they were given in marriage, till the day which Noe came into the ark, and the overflow came, and destroyed all.

³⁸ And he cried out, saying, Jesus, son of David, pity me. ³⁹ And they going before censured him, that he be silent: and he so much the more cried out, O son of David, pity me.

¹² Then he said, A certain honourable man went into a country far off to take unto himself a kingdom, and to return.

²⁷ But those mine enemies, not haying wished me to reign over them, bring hither, and slaughter before me.

³⁵ And they brought him to Jesus: and having cast their garments upon the colt, they placed Jesus upon. ³⁶ And he going, they laid down their garments in the way. ³⁷ And he already drawing near to the descent of the mount of Olives, all the multitude of the disciples, rejoicing, began to praise God with a great voice for all the powers which they saw; ³⁸ Saying, Praised the king coming in the name of the Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest ones. ³⁹ And certain of the Pharisees from the crowd said to him, Teacher, censure thy disciples. ⁴⁰ And having answered, he said to them, I say to you that if these should be silent, the stones shall cry out. ⁴¹ And as he drew near, having seen the city, he wept over it,

⁴⁵ And having come into the temple, he began to cast out them selling and buying in it; ⁴⁶ Saying to them, It has been written, My house is the house of prayer: and ye have made it a den of robbers. ⁴⁷ And he was teaching in the day in the temple. And the chief priests and scribes and the first of the people sought to destroy him,

⁴⁷ And he was teaching in the day in the temple. And the chief priests and scribes and the first of the people sought to destroy him, ⁴⁸ And they found not what they might do: for all the people hearing hanged on him.

⁵ And they reckoned up together to themselves, saying, That if we say, Of heaven; he will say, Why then did ye not believe him?

¹⁴ And the farmers having seen him, reasoned to themselves, saying, This is the heir: come, let us kill him, that the inheritance be ours.

¹⁹ And the chief priests and scribes sought to lay hands upon him in the same hour; and they feared the people: for they knew he spake this parable against them. ²⁰ And having observed narrowly, they sent liers-in-wait, feigning themselves to be just, that they might seize upon his word, to deliver him to the beginning and authority of the leader.

²² Is it lawful for us to give tribute to Caesar, or not

²⁶ And they were not able to seize upon his word before the people: and having wondered at his answer, they were silent.

³⁹ And certain of the scribes having answered, said, Teacher, thou speakest well. ⁴⁰ And they dared no more to ask him anything.

³⁶ Watch therefore, in all time praying, that ye be deemed worthy to escape all these about to be, and to stand before the Son of man.

² And the chief priests and scribes sought how they might kill him; for they feared the people.

³⁷ For I say to you, that this written must yet be finished in me, that, Also was he reckoned with the lawless: for also the things concerning me have an end.

⁶¹ And the Lord having turned, looked upon Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how he said to him, That before the cock utters a sound, thou shalt deny me thrice.

⁶⁸ And if I ask you, ye would not answer me, or loose me.

² And they began to accuse him, saying, We found this perverting the nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Caesar, saying himself to be Christ a King.

⁴⁴ And he said to them, These the words which I spake to you, being yet with you, for all things must be completed, written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the Psalms, concerning me.

⁶ A man was sent from God, the name to him John.

¹⁵ John testifies for him, and he tried, saying, This was he of whom I said, He coming after me was before me: for he was before me. ¹⁶ And of his completion we all received, and grace for grace. ¹⁷ For the law was given by Moses; grace and truth were by Jesus Christ. ¹⁸ None has seen God at any time; the only born Son, he being in the bosom of the Father, he has declared. ¹⁹ And this is the testimony of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem that they might ask him, Who art thou? ²⁰ And he acknowledged, and denied not; and he acknowledged, That I am not the Christ. ²¹ And they asked, What then? Art thou Elias? And he says, I am not. Art thou a prophet? And he answered, No. ²² Then said they to him, Who art thou? that we might give answer to them having sent us. What sayest thou for thyself? ²³ He said, I the voice of him crying in the desert, Make ye straight the way of the Lord, as said Esaias the prophet. ²⁴ And they having been sent were of the Pharisees. ²⁵ And they asked him, and said to him, Why immersest thou then, if thou art not Christ, neither Elias, neither a prophet? ²⁶ John answered them saying, I immerse in water: but he stands the midst of you, whom ye know not; ²⁷ This is he coming after me, who was before me, of whom I am not worthy that I might loose the strings of his shoes. ²⁸ These things were in Bethabara beyond Jordan, where John was immersing.

³⁰ This is he of whom I said, After me comes a man who was before me: for he was before me.

³⁴ And I have seen, and testified that this is the Son of God.

¹⁸ Then answered the Jews and said to him, What sign shewest thou, that thou doest these things?

²⁴ And Jesus himself trusted not himself to them, for he knew all, ²⁵ For also he had no need that any should testify concerning man: for he knew what was in man.

² He came to Jesus by night, and said to him, Rabbi, we know that thou hast come a teacher from God: for none can do these signs which thou doest, except God be with him.

¹⁶ For God so loved the world, that he gave his only born Son, that every one believing in him perish not, but have eternal life. ¹⁷ For God sent not his Son into the world that he judge the world; but that the world might be saved through him.

¹⁹ And this is the judgment, that light has come into the world, and men rather loved darkness than light, for their works were evil. ²⁰ For every one doing bad things hates the light, and he comes not to the light, lest his works should be rebuked.

²⁶ And they came to John, and said to him, Rabbi, he who was with thee beyond Jordan, to whom thou hast testified, behold, he immerses, and all come to him.

³⁵ The Father loves the Son, and he has given all things into his hand. ³⁶ He believing in the Son has eternal life: and he not believing the Son shall not see life, but the anger of God remains upon him.

³⁶ He believing in the Son has eternal life: and he not believing the Son shall not see life, but the anger of God remains upon him.

²² For the Father judges no one, but he has given all judgment to the Son: ²³ That all should honour the Son, as they honour the Father. He honouring not the Son, honours not the Father having sent him. ²⁴ Truly, truly, I say to you, That he hearing my word, and believing him having sent me, has eternal life, and comes not into judgment; but has passed from death to life. ²⁵ Truly, truly, I say to you, That the hour comes, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they hearing shall live. ²⁶ For as the Father has life in himself, so also gave he to the Son to have life in himself; ²⁷ And gave him authority also to do judgment, because he is the Son of man.

²⁹ They having done good, to rising up of life; and they having done bad, to rising up of judgment.

³³ Ye have sent to John, and he has testified to the truth. ³⁴ But I receive not testimony from man: but these I say that ye might be saved. ³⁵ He was a burning and manifest light: and ye wished to rejoice for a time in his light.

⁵⁷ As the living Father sent me, and I live through the Father: also he chewing me, the same also shall live through me.

⁴² Said not the writing, That of the seed of David, and from Bethlehem, the town where David was, Christ comes?

³⁹ And Jesus said, For judgment came I into this world, that they not seeing might see; and they seeing might be blind.

⁴¹ And many came to him, and said, That truly John did no sign: but all which John said of him was true.

²⁵ Jesus said to her, I am the rising up, and life: he believing in me, though he die, shall live. ²⁶ And all living and believing in me should never die. Believest thou this?

⁴⁷ Then gathered together the chief priests and Pharisees a council, and said, What do we? for this man does many signs. ⁴⁸ If we let him thus go, all will believe on him: and the Romans will come and take away also our place and nation. ⁴⁹ And a certain one of them, Caiaphas, being chief priest that year, said to them, Ye know nothing, ⁵⁰ Neither turn ye in your thoughts that it is profitable to us, that one man die for the people, and the nation perish not.

¹⁹ Yet a little, and the world sees me no more; and ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also.

¹ I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. ² Every branch in me not bearing fruit he takes away: and every one bearing fruit, he cleanses it, that it might bear more fruit. ³ Already are ye clean, through the word which I have spoken to you. ⁴ Remain in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, if it remain not in the vine; so neither ye, if ye remain not in me. ⁵ I am the vine, ye the branches: he remaining in me, and I in him, he bears much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. ⁶ If any remain not in me, he was cast forth as the branch, and was dried up; and they gather them together, and cast into the fire, and they are burned. ⁷ If ye remain in me, and my words remain in you, ye shall ask whatever ye wish, and it shall be to you. ⁸ In this was my Father honoured, that ye should bear much fruit: and ye shall be disciples to me.

¹⁶ Ye chose not me, but I chose you, and I have set you, that ye might retire and bear fruit, and your fruit remain: that whatever ye ask the Father in my name, he might give you.

²⁵ But that the word written in their law might be completed, That they hated me gratuitously.

²⁰ Jesus answered him, I spake with freedom of speech to the world: I always taught in the synagogue, and in the temple, where the Jews were always come together; and I spake nothing in secret.

²⁸ Then led they Jesus from Caiaphas to the pretorium: and it was early morning; and they came not into the pretorium, lest they should be defiled; but that they might eat the pascha. ²⁹ Then went Pilate out to them, and said, What accusation bring ye against this man ³⁰ They answered and said to him, If he were not injurious, we had not delivered him to thee. ³¹ Then said Pilate to them, Take ye him, and judge him according to your law. Then said the Jews to him, It is not lawful for us to kill any one: ³² That the word of Jesus might be completed which he spake, giving a sign by what death he was about to die.

²⁰ For it has been written, in the book of Psalms, Let his country-house be a desert, and let none be dwelling in it: and his inspection may another take.

²³ This one, surrendered by the fixed counsel and foreknowledge of God, having taken by lawless hands, having fastened, ye slew:

³⁰ Therefore being a prophet, and knowing that God swore with an oath to him, of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, to raise up Christ to sit upon his throne:

³⁴ For David ascended not into the heavens: and he himself says, The Lord said to my Lord, Sit from my right hand, ³⁵ Even till I set thine enemies the footstool of thy feet.

¹⁵ And ye killed the Author of life, whom God raised from the dead; of whom we are witnesses.

¹ And they speaking to the people, the priests, and commander of the temple, and the Sadducees, resisted them,

¹ And they speaking to the people, the priests, and commander of the temple, and the Sadducees, resisted them, ² Being exercised because they taught the people, and announced in Jesus the rising up from the dead.

⁷ And having set them in the midst, they inquired, In what power, or in what name did ye do this? ⁸ Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, Rulers of the people, and elders of Israel, ⁹ If we are this day examined of the kindness of the sick man, by whom he has been saved; ¹⁰ Be it known to all you, and to all the people of Israel, that in the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarite, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, in this he stands before you whole. ¹¹ This is the stone set at nought by you building, he having been for the head of the corner.

¹⁹ And Peter and John having answered to them, said, If it is just before God to hear you rather than God, judge ye. ²⁰ For we cannot, the things we have seen and heard, not speak.

¹⁷ And the chief priest having risen, and all they with him, (the sect being of the Sadducees,) they were filled with zeal,

²⁶ Then the commander having gone with attendants, brought them, not with force: for they feared the people, lest they might be stoned.

²⁹ And Peter having answered, and the sent, said, We must obey God rather than men.

³⁷ After this Judas the Galilean arose in the days of enrolling, and misled enough people after him: and he perished; and all, as many as believed him, were scattered.

⁴¹ Truly therefore they went rejoicing from the face of the council, that for his name they were deemed worthy to be dishonoured.

¹² And they roused together the people, and elders, and scribes, and having stood against, they seized him, and brought to the council,

²⁷ And he injuring the neighbor repulsed him, having said, Who set thee a ruler and judge over us?

³⁰ And forty years completed, a messenger of the Lord was seen to him in the desert of mount Sina, in a flame of fire in a bramble. ³¹ And Moses having seen, wondered at the sight: and he coming near to observe attentively, the voice of the Lord was to him, ³² I the God of thy fathers, God of Abraham, and God of Isaac, and God of Jacob. And Moses being trembling, dared not observe attentively.

³⁵ This Moses which they denied, having said, Who set thee ruler and judge? this, God sent, a ruler and redeemer by the hand of the messenger having been seen to him in the bramble. ³⁶ He brought them out, having done wonders and sign in the land of Egypt, and in the Red sea, and in the desert forty years. ³⁷ This is Moses, having said to the sons of Israel, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up to you of your brethren, like me; him shall ye hear. ³⁸ This is he having been in the church in the desert with the messenger speaking to him in Mount Sina, and our fathers: who received the living oracles to give to us: ³⁹ To whom our fathers would not be obedient, but rejected, and in their hearts they turned back into Egypt,

⁵¹ Ye stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, ye always resist the Holy Spirit: as your fathers, also you. ⁵² Which of the prophets did not your fathers drive out and they slew them announcing beforehand of the coming of the Just; of whom ye have now been traitors and murderers:

³⁴ And Peter having opened the month; said, Of a truth I comprehend that God is no respecter of faces! ³⁵ But in every nation he fearing him, and working justice, is acceptable to him.

²⁸ And one of them having risen, Agabus by name, signified by the Holy Spirit a great famine was about to be upon the whole habitable globe: which was during Claudius Caesar.

²⁵ And as John completed the course, be said, Whom think ye me to be? I am not. But, behold, he comes after me, whose shoes of the feet I am not worthy to loose.

³³ For this has God completed to us, their children, having raised up Jesus; as it has also been written in the second Psalms, Thou art my Son; to day have I begotten thee. ³⁴ And that he raised him from the dead, no more about to return to corruption, so he said, That I will give you the holy, faithful things of David. ³⁵ For also in another, he says, Thou shalt not give thy Holy one to see corruption.

⁴⁶ And Paul and Barnabas speaking freely, said, To you was it first necessary for the word of God to be spoken: but since ye reject it, and judge yourselves not worthy of eternal life, behold, we turn to the nations.

⁶ And Paul having known that one part is of the Sadducees, and the other of the Pharisees, cried in the council, Men, brethren, I am a Pharisee, son of a Pharisee: for the hope and rising up of the dead am I judged. ⁷ And he having spoken this, there was a dissension of the Pharisees and Sadducees: and the multitude was divided. ⁸ For truly the Sadducees say there is no rising up, neither messenger, nor spirit: and the Pharisees acknowledge both. ⁹ And there was a great cry: and the scribes of the Pharisees' part, having risen, struggled with obstinacy, saying, We find nothing evil in this man: but if a spirit or messenger spake to him, we should not contend against God.

¹⁵ Having hope to God, which they themselves also admit, a rising from the dead about to be, both of just and unjust.

⁸ He justifying himself, That neither against the law of the Jews, nor against the temple, nor against Caesar have I sinned any thing. ⁹ And Festus, wishing to render a favor to the Jews, having answered Paul, said, Wilt thou, having gone up to Jerusalem, there be judged by me of these things? ¹⁰ And Paul said, At Caesar's judgment seat am I standing where I must he judged: I injured the Jews nothing, as thou also knowest better. ¹¹ For if truly I act with injustice, and have done anything worthy of death, I refuse not to die: but if there be nothing of which these accuse me, no one can yield me up to them. I appeal to Caesar. ¹² Then Festus, having conversed with the council, answered, Thou hast appealed to Caesar, to Caesar shalt thou go.

³² And Agrippa said to Festus, This man could have been loosed, if he had not appealed to Caesar.

³ Concerning his Son born of the seed of David according to the flesh. ⁴ Determined the Son of God in power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the rising up of the dead of Jesus Christ our Lord:

¹⁹ And we know that whatever says the law, it speaks to them in the law: that every mouth be shut, and all the world be culpable to God.

¹⁰ For he who died, died to sin once: but he who lives, lives to God. ¹¹ So also ye reckon yourselves truly to be dead to sin, and living to God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

²² And now freed from sin, and subdued to God, ye have your fruit to consecration, and the end life eternal. ²³ For the purchasing the provisions of sin, death; and the grace of God, life eternal in Christ Jesus our Lord.

⁴ Therefore, my brethren, ye also were dead to the law by the body of Christ; for you not to be to another, but to him raised from the dead, that we bring forth fruit to God.

³ For the impossibility of the law, in that it was weak by the flesh, God having sent his own Son in the likeness of the flesh of sin, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:

¹⁷ And if children, also heirs; truly heirs of God, and coheirs of Christ; if indeed we suffer together, that we may be also glorified together.

¹⁷ And if children, also heirs; truly heirs of God, and coheirs of Christ; if indeed we suffer together, that we may be also glorified together. ¹⁸ For I reckon that the sufferings of the time now not worthy of the glory about to be revealed in us. ¹⁹ For the anxious expectation of the creation awaits the revelation of the sons of God. ²⁰ For the creation was subject to vanity, not voluntarily, but by him having subjected in hope, ²¹ That also the creation itself be freed from servitude of corruption to the freedom of the glory of the children of God. ²² For we know that all creation groans together and travails together until now. ²³ And not only, but also they having the first fruits of the Spirit, and we ourselves groan in ourselves, waiting for the adoption as a son, the redemption of our body.

⁵ Whose the fathers, and from whom Christ according to the flesh, who being God over all, praised forever. Amen.

¹⁰ In brotherly love, being kindly affectioned to one another; in honour preceding one another.

⁶ For this also pay ye taxes: for they are workmen of God, persevering in this same. ⁷ Therefore restore debts to all; to whom tribute, tribute; to whom recompense, recompense; to whom fear, fear; to whom honour, honour.

⁷ For none of us lives to himself, and none dies to himself. ⁸ For whether we live, to the Lord we live: and whether we die, to the Lord we die: therefore whether we live, and whether we die, we are of the Lord. ⁹ For, for this Christ also died, and also arose, and returned again to life, that he might also reign over the dead and the living.

⁶ I have planted, Apollos watered; but God increased. ⁷ So that neither he planting is anything, neither he watering; but God increasing. ⁸ And he planting and he watering are one: and each shall receive his own reward according to his own labor. ⁹ For we are workers together with God: the agriculture of God, ye are the building of God.

¹⁹ For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it has been written, He seizing the wise in their deceptions.

² And, on account of fornication, let each have his own wife, and let each have her own husband. ³ Let the husband return to the wife due benevolence: and likewise also the wife to the husband. ⁴ The wife of her own body has not power, but the husband: and likewise also the husband of his own body has not power, but the wife. ⁵ Deprive ye not one another, except somewhat of an agreement for a time, that ye might have leisure for fasting and prayer; and again upon the same ye might come together, lest Satan tempt you for your want of self command. ⁶ And this I say according to indulgence, not according to order. ⁷ For I will all men to be as also myself. But each has his own favor of God, the one truly thus, and the other thus. ⁸ And I say to the unmarried and widows, It is good for them if they remain also as I. ⁹ And if they have not self command, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to be set on fire. ¹⁰ And to the married I announce, (not I, but the Lord,) The wife not to be separated from the husband: ¹¹ And if also she be separated, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to the husband: and the husband not to send away the wife. ¹² And to the rest speak I, not the Lord: If any brother have an unbelieving wife, and she assents to dwell with him, let him not send her away. ¹³ And the woman who has an unbelieving husband, and he assents to dwell with her, let her not send him away. ¹⁴ For the unbelieving husband was consecrated in the wife, and the unbelieving wife was consecrated in the husband: for then are our children unclean; and now are they holy. ¹⁵ And if the unbelieving is separated, let him be separated. A brother or a sister has not been reduced to slavery in such things as these: and God has called us in peace. ¹⁶ For what knowest thou, O wife, if thou shalt save the husband or what knowest thou, O hushand, if thou shalt save the wife?

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

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

¹² And if Christ is proclaimed that he arose from the dead, how say some among you that there is no rising up of the dead?

²⁵ For he must reign, till he put all enemies under his feet. ²⁶ The last enemy, death, is left unemployed.

⁴² So also the rising up of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption:

⁴⁹ And as we have borne the image of the made of earth, we shall also bear the image of the celestial.

⁵² In an atom, in the twinkling of the eye, in the last trumpet: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. ⁵³ For this corrupted must put on incorruption, and this mortal put on immortality. ⁵⁴ And when this corrupted shall put on incorruption, and this mortal shall put on immortality, then shall be the word written, Death was swallowed down in victory.

¹⁷ For we are not as the many adulterating the word of God: but as of purity, but as of God, before the face of God speak we in Christ.

¹⁶ And what agreement to the temple of God with images? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God said, That I will dwell in them, and will go round about; and will be their God, and they shall be a people to me.

⁴ For also if he was crucified from weakness, but he lives from the power of God. For also we are weak in him, but we live with him from the power of God to you.

¹⁰ For now do I persuade men, or God? or seek I to please men? for if I had yet pleased men, I should not have been the servant of Christ.

⁶ And from them seeming to be something, (whatever they were, it concerns me nothing: God receives not man's face:) for they seeming entrusted nothing to me:

⁴ And when the completion of the time was come, God sent his Son, born of woman, born under the law,

³¹ For this a man shall leave his father and mother, and be joined to his wife, and they two shall be one flesh.

³ Nothing by hired labor, or vainglory; but in lowliness the leaders hold each other above themselves. ⁴ Look ye each not on the things of themselves, but also each the things of others. ⁵ For let this be in mind among you, which also in Christ Jesus;

²¹ Who will change the body of our humiliation, for it to be conformable to the body of his glory, according to the operation by which he is able to place all things under himself.

²² All the holy greet you, and chiefly they from Caesar's house.

³ For ye died, and your life has been hid with Christ in God. ⁴ When Christ shall be manifested, our life, then also ye with him shall be made manifest in glory.

⁶ Your word always in grace, Seasoned with salt, to know how it is fitting for you to answer one another.

² But also having suffered before, and having been injured, as ye know, among the Philippians, we acted freely in our God to speak to you the good news of God with much contest.

⁴ But as we have been tried by God to be entrusted with the good news, so we speak; not as pleasing men, but God, trying our hearts: ⁵ For neither once in word were we flatterers, as ye know, neither in a pretext of covetousness; God the witness:

⁵ For neither once in word were we flatterers, as ye know, neither in a pretext of covetousness; God the witness:

¹⁶ Hindering us from speaking to the nations that they might be saved, to fill up their sins always: and the wrath of God has come before upon them even to the end.

¹³ And I wish you not to be ignorant, brethren, of them having been asleep, that ye should not grieve, as also the rest, they hating no hope. ¹⁴ For if we believe that Jesus died and rose up, so also God by Jesus Christ will bring with him them having slept. ¹⁵ For this we say to you in the word of the Lord, that we the living being left at the arrival of the Lord shall not get beforehand with them having slept. ¹⁶ For the Lord himself in the word of command, in the voice of the archangel, shall descend from heaven: and the dead in Christ shall be raised first: ¹⁷ Then we the living being left shall be snatched up together with them in the clouds, to the meeting of the Lord in the air: and so we shall always be with the Lord.

⁵ (A proof of the just judgment of God,) for you to be deemed worthy of the kingdom of God, for which ye also suffer:

¹⁰ And in all deceit of iniquity in the lost; because they received not the love of the truth, for them to be saved. ¹¹ And for this, God shall send them the energy of error, for them to believe in falsehood: ¹² That all might be judged not believing the truth but contented in iniquity.

¹⁶ And manifestly great is the mystery of devotion: God was manifested in the flesh, was justified in the Spirit, was seen by angels, was proclaimed in the nations, was believed on in the world, was received up in glory.

²⁰ Them having sinned rebuke before all, that the rest also have fear.

¹⁷ And this word as a gangrene, will have an eating ulcer: of whom is Hymeneus and Philetus; ¹⁸ Who concerning the truth missed their aim, saying the rising up has already been; and they subvert the faith of some.

² For men shall be self-lovers, lovers of money, boastful, proud, slandering, disobedient to parents, unthankful, wicked, ³ Devoid of natural affection, not observing treaties, accusers, ungoverned, wild, not loving the good, ⁴ Traitors, rash, haughty, devoted to pleasure more than loving God; ⁵ Having a form of devotion, and having denied its power: and these renounce. ⁶ For of these are they going into houses, and taking captive little women heaped up with sins, led away with various eager desires,

⁸ And as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so also these have withstood the truth: men corrupted in mind, not tried concerning the faith. ⁹ But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest to all, as theirs also was.

¹⁵ Whom watch thou also; for he greatly withstood our words.

¹⁰ For many also are disorderly, vain talkers and infatuates, especially they of the circumcision:

¹⁶ They confess to know God; and in works they deny, being abominable, and disobedient, and to every good work not tried.

² At these last days spake to us in the Son, whom he set heir of all things, by whom also he made the times;

¹³ And to which of the angels has he once said, Sit on my right hand, till I make thine enemies the footstool of thy feet?

⁷ Wherefore (as the Holy Spirit says, If to day ye hear his voice,

¹³ And there is no creation invisible before him: and all things naked and exposed, neck and face to view, to the eyes of him with whom to us is the word.

²⁷ And inasmuch as it is reserved to men once to die, and after this the judgment:

¹⁶ And now they feel an ardent desire for a better, that is, a heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed of them to be called their God: for he prepared for them a city.

³⁵ Women received their dead from rising up: and others were beaten, not receiving redemption; that they might attain a better resurrection. ³⁶ And others received trial of jestings and scourges, and further, of bonds and imprisonment: ³⁷ They were stoned, they were cut by sawing, they were tried, they died by the slaughter of the sword: they wandered about in sheepskins and goatskins; being in want, pressed, treated ill;

⁴ Marriage honoured in all, and the bed unpolluted: but fornicators and adulterers God will judge.

¹² Wherefore also Jesus, that he might consecrate the people by his own blood, suffered without the camp.

¹ Be ye not many teachers, my brethren, knowing that we shall receive the greater judgment.

⁷ Therefore honour to you believing: and to the unbelieving, the stone which the builders disapproved of has become the head of the corner, ⁸ And a stone of stumble, and rock of offence, they disbelieving the word stumble: to which also they were set.

¹³ Be subjected to every creation proceeding from man on account of the Lord: whether to the king, as having superiority; ¹⁴ Or to chiefs, as sent by him for the punishing of them doing evil, and the praise of them doing good. ¹⁵ (For so is the will of God, those doing good to silence the want of knowledge of the foolish men:) ¹⁶ As free, and as not having liberty for a covering of wickedness, but as the servants of God. ¹⁷ Honour all. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honour the king.

¹¹ If any speak, as the oracles of God; if any serve, as of the strength which God furnishes: that in all God might be praised by Jesus Christ, in whom is the glory and strength for the time of times. Amen.

³ And by covetousness with feigned words shall trade in you: to whom judgment since a long while is not inactive, and their perdition sleeps not.

³ Knowing this first, that in the last of the days shall mockers come for deceiving, going according to their own eager desires,

¹ See ye, what kind of love the Father has given us, that we should be called the children of God: for this the world knows us not, for it knew him not. ² Dearly beloved, now are we the children of God, and it has not yet been manifested what we shall be: and we know that, if he be manifested, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.

⁹ In this was the love of God manifested in us, that God has sent his only born Son into the world, that we might live by him. ¹⁰ In this is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son a propitiation for our sins. ¹¹ Dearly beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another. ¹² None has ever seen God. If we love one another, God remains in us, and his love is completed in us. ¹³ In this we know that we remain in him, and he in us, for he has given us of his Spirit. ¹⁴ And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent his. Son a Saviour of the world. ¹⁵ Whoever acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God remains in him, and he in God.

⁹ I wrote to the church: but Diotrephes, seeking the superiority over them, receives us not.

⁴ Thou hast a few names also in Sardis which stained not their garments; and they shall walk about with me in white things: for they are worthy.

⁶ And I saw, and, behold, in the midst of the throne and of the four living creatures, and in the midst of the elders, a Lamb standing as having been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent into all the earth. ⁷ And he came and took the book from the right hand of him sitting upon the throne. ⁸ And when he took the book, the four living creatures and the twentyfour elders fell before the Lamb, having each harps, and golden bowls full of incenses, which are the prayers of the holy. ⁹ And they sing a new song, saying, Worthy art thou to take the book, and to open its seals: for thou wert slain, and didst purchase us to God by thy blood from every tribe, and tongue, and people, and nation; ¹⁰ And madest us kings and priests to our God: and we shall reign upon the earth. ¹¹ And I saw, and heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the living creatures and the elders: and their number was myriads of myriads, and thousands of thousands; ¹² Saying with a great voice, Worthy is the Lamb slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and praise. ¹³ And every creature which is in heaven, and in earth, and under the earth, and upon the sea, which are, and all things in them, heard I saying, To him sitting upon the throne, and to the Lamb, praise, and honour, and glory, and strength, for the times of times. ¹⁴ And the four living creatures said, Amen. And the twentyfour elders fell and worshipped him living for the times of times.

⁹ After these things I saw, and, behold, a great multitude, which none could number it, of all nations, and tribes, and peoples, and tongues, standing before the throne, and before the Lamb, having put round white robes, and palm trees in their hands; ¹⁰ And crying with a great voice, saying, Salvation to our God sitting upon the throne, and to the Lamb. ¹¹ And all the angels stood round about the throne, and the elders and the four living creatures, and they fell before the throne upon their faces, and worshipped God, ¹² Saying, Amen: praise, and glory, and wisdom, and gratitude, and honour, and power, and strength, to our God for ever and ever. Amen.

¹⁵ Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple: and he sitting upon the throne will dwell among them. ¹⁶ They shall hunger no more, nor thirst any more; nor should the sun fall upon them, neither any heat. ¹⁷ For the Lamb in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall guide them to living fountains of water: and God shall wipe out every tear from their eyes.

¹⁴ And the armies in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean. ¹⁵ And out of his mouth went forth a sharp sword, that with it he might strike the nations: and he shall rule them with an iron rod: and he treads the winepress of the wine of the wrath and anger of God, the Omnipotent Ruler. ¹⁶ And he has upon the garment and upon his thigh the name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS. ¹⁷ And I saw one angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a great voice, saying to all the birds flying in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves to the supper of the great God; ¹⁸ That ye might eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains of thousands, and the flesh of the strong, and the flesh of horses, and of them sitting upon them, and the flesh of all, free and servants, and of small and great. ¹⁹ And I saw the wild beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to war with him sitting upon the horse, and with his army. ²⁰ And the wild beast was seized, and with him the false prophet having done signs before him, with which he deceived them having received the stamp of the wild beast, and them worshipping his image. Living, were they two cast into the lake of fire burning with sulphur. ²¹ And the rest were killed by the sword of him sitting upon the horse, coming out of his mouth: and all birds were satiated from their flesh.

⁶ Happy and holy he having a part in the first rising up: over these has the second death no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and they shall reign with him a thousand years.

⁴ And God shall wipe out every tear from their eyes; and death be no more, neither grief, neither crying, nor trouble shall be more: for the first things departed.

¹ And he showed me the pure river of the water of life, shining as crystal, going out of the throne of God and of the Lamb. ² In the midst of her broad way and of the river, hence and thence, the tree of life, making twelve fruits, in a month each one returning its fruit: and the leaves of the tree for the cure of the nations. ³ And there shall be no more curse: and the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in her; and his servants shall serve him: ⁴ And they shall see his face; and his name upon their foreheads. ⁵ And night shall not be there; and they have no need of a lamp, and the light of the sun; for the Lord God shall enlighten them: and they shall reign for ever and ever.

⁹ And he says to me, See, not: for I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them keeping the words of the prophecy of this book; worship God.

¹⁶ I Jesus sent mine angel to testify these things to you, to the churches. I am the root and stock of David, the shining and morning star.
