²⁵ And Simon Peter was standing and warming himself . Then they said to him, Are you not also of His disciples? He denied and said, I am not.

² Shepherd the flock of God among you, exercising oversight, not by compulsion, but willingly; nor eagerly for base gain, but readily;

¹⁷ Because the Lamb in the midst of the throne will shepherd them, and will lead them on the living fountains of waters; and God will wipe off every tear from their eyes.

²² Jehovah is the God of gods; Jehovah is the God of gods! He knows, and Israel shall know, if it is in rebellion, and if it is in treachery against Jehovah, you shall not save us alive today.

¹⁸ And she said to Elijah, What have I to do with you, O man of God? Have you come to me to cause my iniquity to be remembered, and to put my son to death?

¹⁷ And I know, my God, that You try the heart and are pleased with uprightness; I, in the uprightness of my heart, have offered willingly all these things; and now I have watched with joy Your people who are present here offering willingly to You.

⁴ Does He not see my ways and count all my steps? ⁵ If I have walked with vanity, or my foot has hurried to deceit, ⁶ let me be weighed in a just balance so that God may know my integrity.

⁸ Jehovah will judge the people. O Jehovah, according to my righteousness, and according to my integrity on me. ⁹ Oh let the evil of the wicked come to an end; and You will establish the just; for the righteous God is a trier of hearts and reins.

³ You will test my heart; You will visit in the night; You will refine me; You will find nothing; my thoughts do not pass beyond my mouth.

¹⁰ I, Jehovah, search the heart, I try the reins, even to give to each man according to his ways, according to the fruit of his doings.

³³ For He does not afflict from His heart, nor does He grieve the sons of man,

⁴⁰ And answering, the King will say to them, Truly I say to you, Inasmuch as you did it to one of these, the least of My brothers, you did it to Me.

⁷³ And after a little, coming near, those standing by said to Peter, Truly you also are of them, for even your speech makes you known. ⁷⁴ Then he began to curse and to swear, I do not know the man. And immediately a cock crowed. ⁷⁵ And Peter recalled the word of Jesus, saying to him, Before a cock crows, you will deny Me three times. And going out, he wept bitterly.

⁷² And a second time a cock crowed. And Peter remembered the word Jesus said to him, Before a cock crows twice, you will deny Me three times. And thinking on it, he wept.

⁶¹ And turning, the Lord looked at Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how He told him, Before a cock would crow, you will deny Me three times. ⁶² And going outside, Peter wept bitterly.

²⁴ But Jesus Himself did not commit Himself to them, because He knew all, ²⁵ and because He had no need that anyone should witness concerning man, for He knew what was in man.

⁸ For you always have the poor with you, but you do not always have Me.

³⁸ Jesus answered him, Will you lay down your life for Me? Indeed, I tell you truly, in no way shall a cock crow until you deny Me three times.

¹⁵ If you love Me, keep My commandments.

¹⁰ If you keep My commandments you will continue in My love, as I have kept My Father's commandments and continue in His love.

³⁰ Now we know that You know all things and have no need that anyone question You. By this we believe that You came out from God.

⁴ Then knowing all the things coming upon Him, going forth, Jesus said to them, Whom do you seek?

²⁷ Then again Peter denied, and immediately a cock crowed.

¹⁵ Then when they broke fast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonah, do you love Me more than these? He said to Him, Yes, Lord, You know that I love You. He said to him, Feed My lambs! ¹⁶ Again He says to him, secondly, Simon, son of Jonah, do you love Me? He says to Him, Yes, Lord, You know that I love You. He said to him, Shepherd My sheep!

²⁴ And having prayed, they said, You, Lord, knower of all hearts, show which one You chose from these two,

⁸ And the heart knowing God testified to them, giving them the Holy Spirit, even as also to us.

¹² For our glorying is this, the testimony of our conscience, that we had our conduct in the world in simplicity and sincerity of God, not in fleshly wisdom, but in the grace of God, and more abundantly toward you.

⁴ For out of much affliction and agony of heart I wrote to you, through many tears, not that you be grieved, but that you know the love which I have more abundantly toward you. ⁵ But if anyone has grieved, he has not grieved me, but in part, that I not overbear all of you. ⁶ This censure by the majority is enough for such a one. ⁷ So that on the contrary, you should rather forgive and comfort such a one, that he not be swallowed up by the overflowing grief.

⁸ For even if I grieved you in the letter, I do not regret, if indeed I did regret, for I see that letter grieved you for an hour. ⁹ Now I rejoice, not that you were grieved, but that you were grieved to repentance. For you were grieved according to God, that you might suffer loss in nothing by us. ¹⁰ For the grief according to God works repentance to salvation, not to be regretted. But the grief of the world works out death. ¹¹ For behold this same thing, you being grieved according to God, how much it worked out earnestness in you, but also defense, but also indignation, but also fear, but also desire, but also zeal, but also vengeance! In everything you commended yourselves to be clear in the matter.

⁸ I do not speak according to command, but through the earnestness of others and testing the trueness of your love. ⁹ For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that being rich, He became poor for your sake, so that you might become rich by the poverty of that One.

³⁰ And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed to the day of redemption.

⁶ in which you exult; yet a little while, if need be, grieving in manifold trials,

¹² For this reason I will not neglect to cause you to remember always concerning these things, though you know and have been confirmed in the present truth. ¹³ But I deem it right, so long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by a reminder, ¹⁴ knowing that the putting off of my tabernacle is soon, as indeed our Lord Jesus Christ made clear to me. ¹⁵ And I will also be diligent to cause you always to have memory of these things after my departure.

¹ Beloved, I now write to you this second epistle, in which by reminder I stir up your sincere mind to remember

¹⁶ By this we have known the love of God, because that One laid down His life for us; and on behalf of the brothers we ought to lay down our lives. ¹⁷ Whoever has the means of life of the world, and sees his brother having need, and shuts up his bowels from him, how does the love of God abide in him? ¹⁸ My little children, let us not love in word, or in tongue, but in deed and in truth. ¹⁹ And in this we shall know that we are of the truth, and shall persuade our hearts before Him, ²⁰ that if our heart accuses us, we know that God is greater than our heart and knows all things. ²¹ Beloved, if our heart does not accuse us, we have confidence with God. ²² And whatever we ask, we receive from Him, because we keep His commandments, and we do the things pleasing before Him. ²³ And this is His commandment, that we should believe the name of His Son, Jesus Christ, and love one another, even as He gave command to us. ²⁴ And the one keeping His commandments abides in Him, and He in him. And by this we know that He abides in us, by the Spirit which He gave to us.

⁷ For on behalf of His name they went out, taking nothing from the nations. ⁸ Therefore, we ought to entertain such men, that we may become co-workers in the truth.

¹⁹ I, as many "as I love, I rebuke and I chasten." Be zealous, then, and repent. Prov. 3:12

²⁷ And My soul is troubled, and what may I say? Father, save Me out of this hour? But on this account I came to this hour. ²⁸ Father, glorify Your name. Then a voice came out of the heaven: I both glorified it, and I will glorify it again.

³⁶ Simon Peter said to Him, Lord, where do You go? Jesus answered him, Where I go you are not able to follow Me now, but afterwards you shall follow Me.

³ And seeing that it was pleasing to the Jews, he added also to seize Peter, (and they were the days of Unleavened Bread) ⁴ whom also capturing him, he put him into prison, delivering him to four sets of four soldiers to guard him, intending to bring him up to the people after the Passover.

¹¹ And coming to us, and taking Paul's girdle, and binding his hands and feet, he said, The Holy Spirit says these things : In Jerusalem the Jews will bind in this way the man whose belt this is, and will deliver him up into the hands of the nations.

⁴ For indeed, being in the tabernacle, we groan, having been weighted down, inasmuch as we do not wish to be unclothed, but to be clothed, so that the mortal may be swallowed up by the life.

²⁴ And My servant Caleb, because there is another spirit in him, and he is fully following Me, I shall bring him into the land into which he has gone, and his seed shall possess it.

²⁰ And Samuel said to the people, Do not fear. You have done all this evil, only do not turn aside from following Jehovah, and serve Jehovah with all your heart.

³⁸ And whoever does not take up his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me.

²¹ From that time, Jesus began to show to His disciples that it was necessary for Him to go away to Jerusalem, and to suffer many things from the elders and chief priests and scribes, and to be killed, and to be raised on the third day. ²² And having taken Him near, Peter began to rebuke Him, saying, God be gracious to You, Lord; this shall never be to You. ²³ But turning He said to Peter, Go behind Me, Satan! You are an offense to Me, for you do not think of the things of God, but the things of men. ²⁴ Then Jesus said to His disciples, If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and let him bear his cross, and let him follow Me. ²⁵ For whoever may desire to save his life will lose it. But whoever may lose his life for My sake will find it.

²⁸ And Jesus said to them, Truly I say to you, You who have followed Me, in the regeneration when the Son of man sits on the throne of His glory, you also will sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

³³ But turning around and seeing His disciples, He rebuked Peter, saying, Go behind Me, Satan, because you do not mind the things of God, but the things of men. ³⁴ And calling near the crowd with His disciples, He said to them, Whoever desires to come after Me, let him deny himself and take his cross, and let him follow Me. ³⁵ For whoever desires to save his life, he shall lose it. But whoever shall lose his life for My sake and the gospel, that one shall save it. ³⁶ For what shall it profit a man if he gain the whole world, yet damage his soul? ³⁷ Or what shall a man give as an exchange for his soul? ³⁸ For whoever may be ashamed of Me and My words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of man will also be ashamed of him when He comes in the glory of His Father, along with the holy angels.

²² saying, The Son of man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised the third day. ²³ And He said to all, If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily. And let him follow Me. ²⁴ For whoever desires to save his life, he will lose it. But whoever loses his life for My sake, this one will save it. ²⁵ For what is a man profited gaining the whole world but destroying himself or suffering loss? ²⁶ For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words, the Son of man will be ashamed of that one when He comes in His glory, and that of the Father, and of the holy angels.

²⁶ If anyone serves Me, let him follow Me; and where I am, there My servant will also be. And if anyone serves Me, the Father will honor him.

³³ But He said this, signifying by what kind of death He was about to die.

³⁶ Simon Peter said to Him, Lord, where do You go? Jesus answered him, Where I go you are not able to follow Me now, but afterwards you shall follow Me. ³⁷ Peter said to Him, Lord, why am I not able to follow You now? I will lay down my life for You!

³² (that the word of Jesus which He said might be fulfilled, signifying by what kind of death He was about to die).

²² Jesus said to him, If I desire him to remain until I come, what is that to you? You follow Me.

²⁰ according to my earnest expectation and hope, that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but as always in all boldness even now Christ will be magnified in my body, whether through life or through death.

¹¹ If anyone speaks, let it be as the words of God; if anyone ministers, as by strength which God supplies, that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ; to whom is the glory and the might forever and ever. Amen. ¹² Beloved, do not be astonished at the fiery trial happening among you for your testing, as if a surprise were occurring to you; ¹³ but according as you share the sufferings of Christ, rejoice; so that you may rejoice exultingly at the revelation of His glory. ¹⁴ If you are reviled in the name of Christ, you are blessed, because "the Spirit of God and of glory rests on you." Truly, according to them, He is blasphemed; but according to you, He is glorified. Isa. 11:2

¹⁴ knowing that the putting off of my tabernacle is soon, as indeed our Lord Jesus Christ made clear to me.

²³ But there was one of His disciples reclining at the bosom of Jesus, whom Jesus loved. ²⁴ Then Simon Peter signaled to him to ask whom it might be of whom He spoke. ²⁵ And leaning on the breast of Jesus, he said to Him, Lord, who is it? ²⁶ Jesus answered, It is he to whom I, having dipped the morsel, shall give it . And dipping the morsel, He gave it to Judas Iscariot, son of Simon.

³ And as He was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately, saying, Tell us, when will these things be? And, What is the sign of Your coming and of the end of the age? ⁴ And answering, Jesus said to them, See that not any leads you astray.

²³ And one said to Him, Lord, are the ones being saved few? But He said to them, ²⁴ Labor to enter in through the narrow gate, for I say to you that many will seek to enter in and will not have strength.

⁶ Then, indeed, coming together they questioned Him, saying, Lord, do You restore the kingdom to Israel at this time? ⁷ And He said to them, It is not yours to know times or seasons which the Father placed in His own authority;

²⁷ For the Son of man is about to come with His angels in the glory of His Father. And then "He will give reward to each according to his actions." LXX-Psa. 61:13; Pro. 24:12; MT-Psa. 62:12 ²⁸ Truly I say to you, There are some standing here who in no way will taste of death until they see the Son of man coming in His kingdom.

³ And as He was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately, saying, Tell us, when will these things be? And, What is the sign of Your coming and of the end of the age?

²⁷ For as the lightning comes forth from the east and shines as far as the west, so also will be the coming of the Son of man.

⁴⁴ Because of this, you also be ready, for in that hour you think not, the Son of man comes.

³¹ But when the Son of man comes in His glory, and all the holy angels with Him, then He will sit on the throne of His glory.

¹ And He said to them, Truly I say to you, There are some of those standing here who in no way shall taste of death until they see the kingdom of God coming in power.

¹⁹ But He said this signifying by what death he would glorify God. And having said this, He told him, Follow Me.

⁵ Then do not judge anything before time, until the Lord comes, who will both shed light on the hidden things of darkness and will reveal the counsels of the hearts. And then praise will be to each one from God.

²⁶ For as often as you may eat this bread, and drink this cup, you solemnly proclaim the death of the Lord, until He shall come.

⁷ Therefore, brothers, be long-suffering until the coming of the Lord. Behold, the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, being long-suffering over it until it may receive the early and the latter rain.

⁷ "Behold, He comes with the clouds," and "every eye will see Him, and the ones who pierced" Him, and all the tribes of the earth "will wail on account of Him." Yes, Amen. Dan. 7:13; Zech. 12:10

²⁵ but what you have, hold until I shall come.

¹¹ Behold, I am coming quickly. Hold what you have that no one take your crown.

⁷ Behold, I am coming quickly. Blessed is the one keeping the words of the prophecy of this Book.

²⁰ The One testifying these things says, Yes, I am coming quickly. Amen. Yes, come, Lord Jesus!

²⁹ The secret things belong to Jehovah our God; and the things revealed belong to us and to our sons forever, that we may do all the words of this law.

²⁸ And to man He said, Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom! And to turn from evil is understanding.

¹³ Why do you contend against Him, since He does not give account to you for any of His matters?

³⁵ And all the inhabitants of the earth are counted as nothing. And He does according to His will among the army of Heaven, and among the inhabitants of the earth. And no one is able to strike His hand or say to Him, What are You doing?

¹⁵ And in these days, standing up in the middle of the disciples, (and the number of names together being about a hundred and twenty), Peter said,

²⁷ And you also witness, because from the beginning you are with Me.

³⁵ And the one seeing has borne witness and his witness is true; and that one knows that he speaks truly, that you may believe.

¹ We announce to you what was from the beginning, what we have heard, what we have seen with our eyes, what we beheld, and what our hands touched, as regards the Word of Life. ² And the Life was revealed, and we have seen, and we bear witness, and we announce to you the everlasting Life which was with the Father, and was revealed to us.

⁶ This is the One coming through water and blood, Jesus Christ; not by the water only, but by the water and the blood. And the Spirit is the One witnessing, because the Spirit is the truth.

¹² Witness has been borne to Demetrius by all, and by the truth itself. And we also bear witness, and you know that our witness is true.

¹⁴ Lo, these are the edges of His ways; yea, what a whisper of a word we hear of Him! And the thunder of His might, who can understand?

⁵ Many things have You done, O Jehovah my God; Your works of wonder and Your purposes toward us; there is none to set in order to You; I will declare and I will speak; they are more than can be counted.

¹⁵ My mouth shall tell of Your righteousness and Your salvation all the day; for I do not know the numbers.

¹² And more than these, my son, be warned: The making of many books has no end, and much study is the weariness of the flesh.

¹⁰ Then Amaziah, the priest of Bethel, sent to Jeroboam, the king of Israel, saying, Amos has plotted against you in the midst of the house of Israel. The land is not able to endure all his words.

⁵ The blind receive sight, and the lame walk; lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear; the dead are raised, and the poor are given the gospel. Isa. 61:1

²⁴ And again I say to you, It is easier for a camel to pass through a needle's eye, than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.

³⁰ Then truly Jesus did many other miracles in the presence of His disciples, which are not written in this book. ³¹ But these have been written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in His name.

³⁸ Jesus the One from Nazareth, how God anointed Him with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good, and healing all those having been oppressed by the Devil, because God was with Him.

³⁵ I showed you all things, that working in this way we ought to help those being weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that He said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.

³² And what more may I say? For the times will fail me telling about Gideon, Barak, and also Samson and Jephthah, and also David and Samuel, and the prophets,
