¹ THE beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. ² As it is written in Isaiah the prophet, Behold I send my messenger before your face, that he may prepare your way, ³ The voice that cries in the wilderness, Make ready the way of the Lord, and straighten his high ways. ⁴ John was in the wilderness, baptizing and preaching the baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins, ⁵ And the whole province of Judaea went out to him, and all the people of Jerusalem; and he baptized them in the river Jordan, when they confessed their sins. ⁶ John wore a dress of camelÆs hair, with a girdle of leather fastened around his loins; and his food was locusts and wild honey. ⁷ And he preached saying, Behold, there is coming after me one who is mightier than myself, even the strings of whose shoes I am not good enough to bend down and untie. ⁸ I have baptized you with water; but he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit. ⁹ And it came to pass in those days, Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized in the Jordan by John. ¹⁰ And immediately, as he went up out of the water, he saw the sky was clear open, and the Spirit as a dove came down upon him. ¹¹ And a voice came from heaven, You are my beloved Son, I am pleased with you. ¹² And immediately the Spirit drove him out into the wilderness. ¹³ And he was there in the wilderness forty days, being tried out by Satan; and he was with the wild beasts; and the angels ministered to him. ¹⁴ But after John was delivered up, Jesus came to Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God, ¹⁵ And saying, The time has come to an end, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel. ¹⁶ While he walked along the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew his brother throwing their nets into the sea; for they were fishermen. ¹⁷ And Jesus said to them, Come after me, and I will make you fishers of men. ¹⁸ And straightway they left their nets, and went after him. ¹⁹ And when he went a little further, he saw James the son of Zebedee and his brother John; they also were in a boat mending their nets. ²⁰ And he called them; and immediately they left their father Zebedee with the hired men, and went after him. ²¹ When they entered into Capernaum, straightway he taught on the sabbaths in their synagogues. ²² And they were amazed at his teaching; for he taught them as one with an authority, and not like their scribes. ²³ And there was in their synagogue a man who had in him an unclean spirit; and he cried out, ²⁴ And said, Jesus of Nazareth, what have we in common? Have you come to destroy us? I know you, who you are, ôHoly One of God.ö ²⁵ And Jesus rebuked him and said, Be silent, and come out of him. ²⁶ And the unclean spirit threw him down, and cried out in a loud voice, and left him. ²⁷ And they were all astonished, and kept asking one another saying, What does this mean? and what is this new teaching, that with such a power he commands even unclean spirits and they obey him? ²⁸ And his fame immediately spread throughout the country of Galilee. ²⁹ Then they went out of the synagogue, and came to the house of Simon and Andrew, together with James and John. ³⁰ And SimonÆs mother-in-law was laid up with fever; and they spoke to him about her. ³¹ And he went and held her hand, and lifted her up; and immediately the fever left her, and she ministered to them. ³² In the evening towards sunset, they brought to him all who were seriously sick, and the insane. ³³ And the whole city was gathered at the door. ³⁴ And he healed many who were seriously sick with divers diseases, and he restored many who were insane; and he did not allow the insane to speak because some of them were his acquaintances. ³⁵ And in the morning he rose up very early and went away to a lonely place, and there prayed. ³⁶ And Simon and those who were with him were looking for him. ³⁷ And when they found him, they said to him, Everyone wants you. ³⁸ He said to them, Let us walk to the neighboring towns and cities, so that I may preach there also; because I came for this. ³⁹ And he preached in all their synagogues throughout Galilee, and cast out demons. ⁴⁰ And there came to him a leper, who fell down at his feet, and begged him, saying, If you will, you can make me clean. ⁴¹ And Jesus had mercy on him, and stretched out his hand and touched him, and said, I am willing; be clean. ⁴² And in that hour his leprosy disappeared from him, and he became clean. ⁴³ And Jesus rebuked him and put him out, ⁴⁴ And said to him, Look here, why are you telling it to the people? but go away, show yourself to the priests, and offer an offering for the sake of your cleansing, according to what Moses commanded, as their testimonial. ⁴⁵ But when he went out, he began to publish it still more, and to spread the word, so that Jesus was no longer able to enter the city openly, but he remained outside in a lonely place; and yet they came to him from every place.

¹ THEN Jesus was carried away by the Holy Spirit into the wilderness, to be tempted by the adversary. ² So he fasted forty days and forty nights; but at last he was hungry. ³ And the tempter drew near and said to him, If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread.

³ And the tempter drew near and said to him, If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread. ⁴ But he answered and said, It is written, that it is not by bread alone that man can live, but by every word which comes from the mouth of God. ⁵ Then the adversary took him to the holy city, and he made him to stand up on the pinnacle of the temple. ⁶ And he said to him, If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down; for it is written, that he will command his angels concerning you, and they will bear you up on their hands, so that even your foot may not strike a stone. ⁷ Jesus said to him, Again it is written, that you shall not try out the Lord your God. ⁸ Again the adversary took him to a very high mountain, and he showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. ⁹ And he said to him, All of these I will give to you, if you will fall down and worship me. ¹⁰ Then Jesus said to him, Go away, Satan, for it is written, You shall worship the Lord your God, and him only shall you serve. ¹¹ Then the adversary left him alone; and behold the angels drew near and ministered unto him. ¹² Now when Jesus heard that John was delivered up, he departed to Galilee. ¹³ And he left Nazareth, and came and settled in Capernaum, by the seaside, within the borders of Zabulon and of Napthali.

¹⁷ From that time Jesus began to preach and to say, Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is coming near. ¹⁸ And while he was walking by the shore of the sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon who was called Peter and his brother Andrew, who were casting nets into the sea, for they were fishermen. ¹⁹ And Jesus said to them, Come after me, and I will make you to become fishers of men.

²¹ And when he left that place he saw two other brothers, James the son of Zebedee and his brother John, in a ship with Zebedee their father, repairing their nets; and Jesus called them. ²² So they immediately left the ship and their father, and followed him. ²³ And Jesus travelled throughout Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the good news of the kingdom, and healing every kind of disease and sickness among the people. ²⁴ And his fame was heard throughout Syria; so they brought to him all who were badly afflicted with divers sickness, and those who were tormented with pains, and the insane, and the epileptics, and the cripples; and he healed them. ²⁵ So large crowds followed him from Galilee, and from the ten cities, and from Jerusalem and from Judaea, and from across the Jordan.

²⁸ And it happened when Jesus finished these words, the crowds were stunned at his teaching. ²⁹ For he taught them as one who had the power, and not like their own scribes and Pharisees.

² And behold a leper came and worshipped him, and said, My Lord, if you wish, you can cleanse me. ³ And Jesus stretched out his hand and touched him, and he said, I do wish, be cleansed. And in that hour his leprosy was cleansed. ⁴ Jesus then said to him, Look here, why are you telling it to men? go first and show yourself to the priests, and offer an offering as Moses has commanded, for a testimonial to them.

⁴ Jesus then said to him, Look here, why are you telling it to men? go first and show yourself to the priests, and offer an offering as Moses has commanded, for a testimonial to them.

¹⁴ And Jesus came to the SimonÆs house, and he saw his mother-in-law laid up and sick with fever. ¹⁵ And he touched her hand, and the fever left her, and she got up and waited on them. ¹⁶ Now when evening came, they brought to him a great many lunatics, and he cured them just by a word; and he healed all who were badly afflicted.

²¹ Another of his disciples said to him, My Lord, permit me first to go and bury my father. ²² But Jesus said to him, Come after me, and let the dead bury their own dead.

²⁹ And they cried aloud saying, What business have we together, Jesus, ôson of Godö? Have you come here to torment us before the time?

³⁰ And immediately their eyes were opened; and Jesus charged them and said, See that no one knows it. ³¹ But they went out and spread the news all over that country.

² But when John heard in prison of the works of Christ, he sent by his disciples,

⁵ The blind see, and the lame walk, and the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, and the dead rise up, and the poor are given hope.

¹⁰ For this is he of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before your face, to prepare the way before you.

²² Then they brought near to him a lunatic, who was also dumb and blind; and he healed him, so that the dumb and blind man could speak and see. ²³ All the people were amazed and said, Perhaps this man is the son of David?

⁴³ When an unclean spirit goes out of a man, it travels in places where there is no water, and seeks rest, and does not find it.

⁵⁴ And he came to his own city; and he taught them in their synagogues, in such a way, that they were amazed and said, Where did he get this wisdom and these wonders?

² And he said to his servants, This man is John the Baptist; he has risen from the dead; this is why great miracles are wrought by him.

²³ And when he had dismissed the people, he went up to the mountain alone to pray; and when darkness fell he was still there alone.

³³ And they who were in the boat came and worshipped him; and they said, Truly you are the Son of God.

²⁸ Then Jesus said to her, O woman, your faith is great; let it be to you as you wish; and her daughter was healed from that very hour.

³¹ So that the people wondered, to see the dumb speaking, and the maimed healed, and the lame walking, and the blind seeing; and they praised the God of Israel.

⁵ And while he was speaking, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them, and a voice came out of the cloud saying, This is my beloved Son, I am pleased with him; hear him.

¹⁴ And when they came to the people, a man approached him and knelt on his knees, and said to him,

²⁷ Then Peter answered and said to him, Behold, we have left everything and followed you; what will we have? ²⁸ Jesus said to them, Truly I say to you, that in the new world when the Son of man shall sit on the throne of his glory, you who have come after me shall also sit on twelve chairs, and you shall judge the twelve tribes of Israel. ²⁹ And every man who leaves houses, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or fields, for my nameÆs sake, shall receive a hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life. ³⁰ But many who are first shall be last, and the last first.

³¹ Which of these two did the will of his father? They said to him, The first one. Jesus said to them, Truly I say to you, that even the publicans and the harlots will precede you into the kingdom of God. ³² For John came to you in a righteousness way, and you did not believe him; but the publicans and the harlots believed him; but you, even though you saw, did not repent, so that later you may believe him.

² And he said to them, The scribes and the Pharisees sit on the chair of Moses. ³ Therefore whatever they tell you to obey, obey and do it, but do not do according to their works; for they say and do not.

¹⁶ Woe to you, blind guides, for you say, Whoever swears by the temple, it is nothing; but whoever swears by the gold which is in the temple, he is guilty! ¹⁷ O you fools and blind! for which is greater, the gold or the temple that sanctifies the gold? ¹⁸ And whoever swears by the altar, it is nothing; but whoever swears by the offering that is on it, he is guilty. ¹⁹ O you fools and blind! for which is greater, the offering, or the altar that sanctifies the offering? ²⁰ Therefore he who swears by the altar, he swears by it and by everything that is on it. ²¹ And whoever swears by the temple, swears by it and by him who dwells in it. ²² And he who swears by heaven, swears by the throne of God, and by him who sits on it. ²³ Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for you take tithes on mint, dill, and cummin, and you have overlooked the more important matters of the law, such as justice, mercy, and trustworthiness. These were necessary for you to have done, and the same by no means to have left undone. ²⁴ O blind guides, who strain at gnats and swallow camels!

²⁴ The Son of man is going through, just as it is written concerning him; but woe to the man by whose hand the Son of man is betrayed! it would have been far better for that man never to have been born.

³¹ Then Jesus said to them, All of you will deny me this night; for it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep of his flock will be scattered.

⁵³ Or do you think that I cannot ask of my Father, and he will now raise up for me more than twelve legions of angels?

⁵⁵ There were also many women there, who were looking from afar, those who had followed Jesus from Galilee, and who used to minister to him.

¹⁵ So they took the money, and did as they were instructed; and this word went out among the Jews, until this day.

⁵ And the whole province of Judaea went out to him, and all the people of Jerusalem; and he baptized them in the river Jordan, when they confessed their sins.

¹⁶ While he walked along the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew his brother throwing their nets into the sea; for they were fishermen. ¹⁷ And Jesus said to them, Come after me, and I will make you fishers of men. ¹⁸ And straightway they left their nets, and went after him. ¹⁹ And when he went a little further, he saw James the son of Zebedee and his brother John; they also were in a boat mending their nets. ²⁰ And he called them; and immediately they left their father Zebedee with the hired men, and went after him. ²¹ When they entered into Capernaum, straightway he taught on the sabbaths in their synagogues.

²³ And there was in their synagogue a man who had in him an unclean spirit; and he cried out,

²⁵ And Jesus rebuked him and said, Be silent, and come out of him.

³¹ And he went and held her hand, and lifted her up; and immediately the fever left her, and she ministered to them.

³⁴ And he healed many who were seriously sick with divers diseases, and he restored many who were insane; and he did not allow the insane to speak because some of them were his acquaintances.

³⁹ And he preached in all their synagogues throughout Galilee, and cast out demons.

⁴⁵ But when he went out, he began to publish it still more, and to spread the word, so that Jesus was no longer able to enter the city openly, but he remained outside in a lonely place; and yet they came to him from every place.

¹ AND Jesus entered again into Capernaum for a few days; and when they heard that he was in a house,

¹ AND Jesus entered again into Capernaum for a few days; and when they heard that he was in a house, ² A great many gathered together so that it was impossible to hold them, not even in front of the entrance; so he spoke a few words to them.

¹³ And he went out again by the seaside, and all the people kept coming to him, and he taught them.

² And they watched him if he would heal him on the sabbath, that they might accuse him.

⁷ So Jesus went to the sea with his disciples; and a great many people from Galilee followed him, and from Judaea,

¹¹ And those who were afflicted with unclean spirits, when they saw him, fell down before him, and cried saying, You are indeed the Son of God. ¹² And he cautioned them a great deal, not to make him known.

¹² And he cautioned them a great deal, not to make him known.

¹⁶ And Simon he surnamed Peter. ¹⁷ And James the son of Zebedee, and John the brother of James, he surnamed BÆnai Rakhshi, which means sons of thunder, ¹⁸ And Andrew, and Philip, and Bartholomew, and Matthew, and Thomas, and James the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus, and Simon the Zealot,

³⁹ So he got up, and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind quieted down, and there was a great calm.

² And as he went out of the boat, he was met by a man from the cemetery, who had an unclean spirit.

⁷ And he cried with a loud voice and said, What have we got together, Jesus, Son of the most high God? I adjure you by God, not to torment me.

²³ And he beseeched him much and said to him, My daughter is very seriously ill; come and lay your hand on her, and she will be healed, and live.

²⁹ And immediately the hemorrhage was dried up; and she felt in her body that she was healed of her disease.

³⁷ And he did not permit any man to go with him, except Simon Peter, and James, and John the brother of James.

⁴¹ And he took the little girl by her hand, and said to her, Talitha, koomi, which means, Little girl, rise up.

⁴³ But he commanded them that no man should know this; and he told them to give her something to eat.

² When the sabbath came, he began to teach in the synagogue, and many who heard him were surprised, and said, Whence did he receive all this? and what wisdom is this which is given to him, that wonders like these are wrought by his hands?

³⁴ And when Jesus went out he saw large crowds, and he had compassion on them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd; and he began to teach them a great many things.

⁴⁶ And when he had dismissed them, he went up to the mountain to pray. ⁴⁷ When evening came, the boat was in the midst of the sea, and he was alone on the land. ⁴⁸ And he saw them struggling as they were rowing, for the wind was against them; and in the fourth watch of the night, Jesus came to them, walking on the water, and he wanted to pass by them.

³ For all the Jews, even the Pharisees, unless their hands are washed carefully would not eat, because they strictly observe the tradition of the elders. ⁴ Even the things from the market, if they are not washed, they would not eat them. And there are a great many other things, which they have accepted to obey, such as the washing of cups and pots, and copper utensils, and the bedding of dead men. ⁵ And the scribes and Pharisees asked him, Why do your disciples not walk according to the tradition of the elders, but eat bread with their hands unwashed? ⁶ He said to them, The prophet Isaiah well prophesied about you, O hypocrites, as it is written, This people honor me with their lips, but their heart is far away from me. ⁷ And they worship me in vain, when they teach the doctrines of the commandments of men. ⁸ For you have ignored the commandment of God, and you observe the tradition of men, such as the washing of cups and pots, and a great many other things like these. ⁹ He said to them, Well you do injustice to the commandment of God so as to sustain your own tradition. ¹⁰ For Moses said, Honor your father and your mother; and he who curses father or mother, let him be put to death. ¹¹ But you say, If a man may say to his father or his mother, What is left over is Corban (my offering); ¹² And yet you do not let him do anything for his father or mother. ¹³ So you dishonor the word of God for the sake of the tradition which you have established; and you do a great many like these.

²⁵ For immediately a woman heard about him, whose daughter had an unclean spirit; and she came and fell at his feet.

³⁰ So she went to her house, and found her daughter lying in bed, and the demon gone out of her.

³⁶ And he warned them not to tell this to any man; but the more he warned them, so much the more they published it. ³⁷ And they were greatly astonished, saying, He does everything so well. He makes the deaf hear, and the dumb to speak.

² And six days after, Jesus took Peter, and James, and John, and brought them up to a high mountain alone; and he was transfigured before their eyes.

⁷ And there was a cloud overshadowing them, and a voice out of the cloud said, This is my beloved Son; hear him.

²⁰ And they brought the boy to Jesus; and when the spirit seized him, it immediately troubled him; and he fell on the ground, gasping and foaming.

²² And many times it has thrown him into the fire and into the water to destroy him; but whatever you can do, help me, and have mercy on me. ²³ Jesus said to him, If you can believe, everything is possible to him who believes.

²⁵ When Jesus saw that people were run- ning and gathering to him, he rebuked the unclean spirit, and said to it, O deaf and dumb spirit, I command you, come out of him, and do not enter him again. ²⁶ And the epileptic cried out much, and was tortured, and the spirit went out; then the boy became as if dead, so that many could say, He is dead.

¹ AND he departed from thence, and came to the border of Judaea, at the crossing of the Jordan; and a great many people went to him there, and he taught them again, as he was accustomed to do.

¹⁷ While he was on the way, a man came ran up and fell on his knees and he asked him, saying, O good Teacher, what shall I do to inherit life eternal?

²⁴ But the disciples were surprised at his words. And Jesus answered again and said to them, My sons, how hard it is for those who trust in their wealth, to enter into the kingdom of God!

²⁸ Then Peter began to say, Behold, we have left everything and followed you. ²⁹ Jesus answered and said, Truly I say to you, There is no man who leaves houses, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or fields, for my sake and for the sake of my gospel,

²⁹ Jesus answered and said, Truly I say to you, There is no man who leaves houses, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or fields, for my sake and for the sake of my gospel, ³⁰ Who shall not receive now, in this time, an hundredfold, houses, and brothers and sisters, and maidservants, and children, and fields, and other worldly pursuits, and in the world to come life everlasting. ³¹ Many who are first shall be last, and the last first. ³² While they were going up on their way to Jerusalem, Jesus was ahead of them; and they were amazed; and they followed him with fear. And he took his twelve aside, and began to tell them what was surely to happen to him.

³⁵ And James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came up to him and said to him, Teacher, we wish you would do for us whatever we ask.

³³ And he took with him Peter and James and John, and he began to be sorrowful and oppressed.

⁴¹ Who had followed him, when he was in Galilee, and ministered to him; and many other women who had come up with him to Jerusalem.

² According to what was handed down to us by those who from the beginning were eyewitnesses and ministers of that very word, ³ And since these were seen by me also because I was near and considered them all very carefully, I will therefore write to you everything in its order, most honorable Theophilus,

¹⁵ For he will be great before the Lord, and he will not drink wine and strong drink; and he will be filled with the Holy Spirit, while he is still in the womb of his mother. ¹⁶ And many Israelites he will cause to turn to the Lord their God. ¹⁷ And he will go before them with the spirit and the power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of parents to their children, and those who are disobedient to the wisdom of the righteous; and he will prepare a true people for the Lord.

³⁵ The angel answered and said to her, The Holy Spirit will come, and the power of the Highest will rest upon you; therefore the one who is to be born of you is holy, and he will be called the Son of God.

⁷⁰ Just as he spoke by the mouth of his holy prophets who have been for ages,

⁷⁶ And you, boy, will be called the prophet of the Highest; for you will go before the face of the Lord, to prepare his way; ⁷⁷ To give knowledge of life to his people by the forgiveness of their sins,

¹⁰ And the angel said to them, Do not be afraid; for behold, I bring you glad tidings of great joy, which will be to all the world. ¹¹ For today is born to you in the city of David, a Saviour, who is the Lord Christ.

⁴⁹ He said to them, Why were you looking for me? did you not know that I would be in the house of my Father?

² During the high priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came to John, son of Zacharias, in the wilderness.

² During the high priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came to John, son of Zacharias, in the wilderness. ³ And he came throughout the country around Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins;

³ And he came throughout the country around Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins; ⁴ As it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet, who said, The voice which calls in the wilderness, Prepare the way of the Lord, make the paths of our God straight in the plain.

⁴ As it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet, who said, The voice which calls in the wilderness, Prepare the way of the Lord, make the paths of our God straight in the plain. ⁵ Let all the valleys be filled up, and all the mountains and hills be levelled; let the crooked places be made straight, and the rough places like a plain;

⁵ Let all the valleys be filled up, and all the mountains and hills be levelled; let the crooked places be made straight, and the rough places like a plain; ⁶ And let every flesh see the salvation of God.

⁶ And let every flesh see the salvation of God. ⁷ And he said to the people, who were coming to him to be baptized, O offspring of scorpions, who has warned you to escape from the anger which is coming? ⁸ Therefore bring forth fruits which are worthy of repentance; and do not begin to say within yourselves, We have Abraham as our father; for I say to you that God can raise up children for Abraham from these stones. ⁹ Behold, the axe is already placed at the root of the trees; therefore every tree which bears not good fruits will be cut down and dropped in the fire. ¹⁰ And the people asked him saying, What then shall we do? ¹¹ He answered and said to them, He who has two shirts, let him give to him who has not; and he who has food, let him do likewise. ¹² And there came also publicans to be baptized, and they said to him, Teacher, what shall we do? ¹³ He said to them, Do not exact anything more over what is commanded you to exact. ¹⁴ And the soldiers also asked him saying, What shall we do? And he said to them, Do not molest any man, and do not despise any man; your own wages should be enough for you. ¹⁵ While the people were placing their hope on John, and all of them were thinking in their hearts, that perhaps he is the Christ; ¹⁶ John answered and said to them, Behold, I baptize you with water; but one is coming after me, who is greater than I, the strings of whose shoes I am not worthy to untie; he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire;

¹⁶ John answered and said to them, Behold, I baptize you with water; but one is coming after me, who is greater than I, the strings of whose shoes I am not worthy to untie; he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire;

²⁰ Added this also to them all, that he put John into prison. ²¹ It came to pass when all the people were baptized, Jesus also was baptized, and while he prayed the heaven was opened, ²² And the Holy Spirit descended on him, like a dove, and a voice from heaven, saying, You are my beloved Son, with whom I am pleased.

²² And the Holy Spirit descended on him, like a dove, and a voice from heaven, saying, You are my beloved Son, with whom I am pleased.

¹ NOW Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan, and the Spirit carried him away into the wilderness, ² Forty days, in order that he might be tempted by the adversary. And he did not eat anything in those days; and when they were over, at last he became hungry. ³ And the adversary said to him, If you are the Son of God, command this stone to become bread. ⁴ Jesus answered and said to him, It is written, That it is not by bread alone that man can live, but by every word of God. ⁵ Then Satan took him up to a high mountain, and showed him all the kingdoms of the earth in a short time. ⁶ And the adversary said to him, I will give you all this power and its glory, which are entrusted to me, and I give it to whom I please; ⁷ If therefore you worship me, it will all be yours. ⁸ Jesus answered and said to him, It is written, You shall worship the Lord your God, and him only you shall serve. ⁹ And he brought him to Jerusalem and made him to stand up on the pinnacle of the temple, and said to him, If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down from here; ¹⁰ For it is written, That he will command his angels concerning you, to watch you; ¹¹ And they will take you up in their arms, so that even your foot may not strike a stone. ¹² Jesus answered and said to him, It is said, You shall not tempt the Lord your God. ¹³ When the adversary was through with all his temptations, he left him for some time.

¹⁶ And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up; and he entered the synagogue on the sabbath day, as was the custom, and stood up to read. ¹⁷ And the book of the prophet Isaiah was given to him. And Jesus opened the book, and found the place where it is written,

¹⁷ And the book of the prophet Isaiah was given to him. And Jesus opened the book, and found the place where it is written, ¹⁸ The Spirit of the Lord is upon me; because of this he has anointed me, to preach good tidings to the poor; and he has sent me to heal the broken-hearted, and to proclaim release to the captives, and sight to the blind; to strengthen with forgiveness those who are bruised

¹⁸ The Spirit of the Lord is upon me; because of this he has anointed me, to preach good tidings to the poor; and he has sent me to heal the broken-hearted, and to proclaim release to the captives, and sight to the blind; to strengthen with forgiveness those who are bruised ¹⁹ And to preach the acceptable year of the Lord.

¹⁹ And to preach the acceptable year of the Lord. ²⁰ And he rolled up the scroll and gave it to the attendant, and went and sat down. And the eyes of all who were in the synagogue were fixed on him. ²¹ And he began to say to them, To-day this scripture is fulfilled in your ears.

³¹ And he went down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee, and he taught them on the sabbaths. ³² And they were astonished at his teaching; because his word had power.

³² And they were astonished at his teaching; because his word had power. ³³ And there was in the synagogue a man who had an unclean, demonic spirit, and he cried in a loud voice, ³⁴ And said, Leave me alone, what have we in common, O Jesus the Nazarene? have you come to destroy us? I know who you are, ôHoly One of Godö!

³⁴ And said, Leave me alone, what have we in common, O Jesus the Nazarene? have you come to destroy us? I know who you are, ôHoly One of Godö! ³⁵ And Jesus rebuked him, and said, Keep quiet, and come out of him. The demon threw him in the midst, and went out of him, and did him no harm.

³⁵ And Jesus rebuked him, and said, Keep quiet, and come out of him. The demon threw him in the midst, and went out of him, and did him no harm. ³⁶ And every man was seized with amazement, and spoke among themselves, saying, What kind of word is this, that he commands unclean spirits with authority and power, and they go out!

³⁶ And every man was seized with amazement, and spoke among themselves, saying, What kind of word is this, that he commands unclean spirits with authority and power, and they go out! ³⁷ And the fame about him went out through all the country around them.

³⁷ And the fame about him went out through all the country around them. ³⁸ And when Jesus left the synagogue, he entered the house of Simon. And SimonÆs mother-in-law was suffering with a severe fever; and they besought him for her. ³⁹ And he stood by her, and rebuked the fever, and it left her; and she rose up immediately and ministered to them. ⁴⁰ When the sun was setting, all who had sick people suffering from divers diseases brought them to him; and he laid his hand on each one of them, and healed them. ⁴¹ Demons also came out of many, who cried out saying, You are the Christ, the Son of God. And he rebuked them, and he would not allow them to speak; that they might not know that he was the Christ. ⁴² And in the morning, he came out and went to a desert place; and the people were looking for him, and came where he was; and they held him so that he might not leave them. ⁴³ But Jesus said to them, I must preach the kingdom of God in other cities also; because I was sent for this.

⁴³ But Jesus said to them, I must preach the kingdom of God in other cities also; because I was sent for this.

⁴³ But Jesus said to them, I must preach the kingdom of God in other cities also; because I was sent for this. ⁴⁴ And he preached in the synagogues of Galilee.

¹ IT came to pass when the people gath ered around him to hear the word of God, he stood on the shore of the lake of Gennesaret. ² And he saw two boats standing by the lake; but the fishermen had got out of them, and were washing their nets. ³ One of them belonged to Simon Peter; so Jesus went up and sat in it, and he asked to row it a little way from the shore to the water. And he sat and taught the people from the boat. ⁴ When he was through speaking, he said to Simon, Row out to the deep, and cast your net for a catch. ⁵ Simon answered and said to him, Teacher, we have toiled all night, and have caught nothing; but just because of your word, I will cast the net. ⁶ And when they had done this, they inclosed a great many fish; and their net was breaking. ⁷ So they signalled to their partners in the other boat, to come and help them. And when they came, they filled both the boats, till they were almost sinking. ⁸ When Simon Peter saw it, he fell at the feet of Jesus, and said to him, I beg you, my Lord, leave me alone, for I am a sinful man. ⁹ For he was amazed, and all who were with him, because of the catch of fish which they took. ¹⁰ So also was it with James and John, sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. But Jesus said to Simon, Do not be afraid; from henceforth you will be catching men for life.

¹⁰ So also was it with James and John, sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. But Jesus said to Simon, Do not be afraid; from henceforth you will be catching men for life. ¹¹ And they brought the boats to land, and left everything and followed him.

¹¹ And they brought the boats to land, and left everything and followed him. ¹² When Jesus was in one of the cities, there came a man who was covered with leprosy; and he saw Jesus and fell on his face, and besought him, and said, My Lord, if you will, you can cleanse me. ¹³ And Jesus stretched out his hand and touched him, and said to him, I will, be clean; and immediately his leprosy left him. ¹⁴ And he charged him not to tell any man; but go and show yourself to the priests, and make an offering for your cleansing, as Moses commanded, for a testimony to them.

¹⁴ And he charged him not to tell any man; but go and show yourself to the priests, and make an offering for your cleansing, as Moses commanded, for a testimony to them. ¹⁵ And the fame concerning him went out the more; and many people gathered to hear him, and to be healed of their diseases. ¹⁶ But he departed into the wilderness, and prayed.

¹⁶ But he departed into the wilderness, and prayed. ¹⁷ It came to pass on one of the days when Jesus was teaching, the Pharisees and the teachers of the law were sitting, who had come from every town of Galilee and Judaea and Jerusalem. And the power of God was present to heal them.

¹² It happened in those days, Jesus went out to a mountain to pray, and he remained all night in prayer to God.

¹⁴ Simon who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother, and James and John, and Philip and Bartholomew,

⁶ Jesus went with them. And when he was not far from the house, the centurion sent some of his friends to him, and said, My Lord, do not trouble yourself; for I am not worthy that you should enter under my roof; ⁷ That is why I was not worthy to come to you; but just say a word and my boy will be healed.

¹² And when they came near the gate of the city, he saw a dead man being carried out, who was the only son of his mother, and his mother was a widow; and many people of the city were with her. ¹³ When Jesus saw her, he had compassion on her, and said to her, Weep not.

²⁷ This is he of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before your face, to prepare the way before you. ²⁸ I say to you that there is no prophet among those who are born of women, who is greater than John the Baptist; and yet even the least person in the kingdom of God is greater than he.

¹ AND it came to pass after these things, Jesus was traveling in cities and villages, preaching and giving good news of the kingdom of God. And his twelve were with him, ² And the women who were healed of diseases and unclean spirits, Mary who is called of Magdala, from whom seven demons went out, ³ And Joanna, the wife of Chuza the steward of Herod, and Susanna, and many others, who ministered to them of their wealth.

²⁸ When he saw Jesus, he cried out and fell before him, and said in a loud voice, What have we in common, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg you not to torment me.

³⁷ Then all the people of the Gadarenes besought him to leave them, because they were seized with a great fear; and Jesus went up into the boat and returned from thence.

⁵⁶ And her parents were amazed; but he warned them, not to tell any man what had happened.

¹ THEN Jesus called his twelve, and gave them power and authority over all the demons, and to cure diseases.

³⁵ And there came a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son; hear him.

³⁹ And a spirit seizes him, and he suddenly cries out, and gnashes his teeth and foams; and it hardly leaves him when it has tormented him.

⁴² And as he brought him, the demon attacked him and convulsed him. And Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the boy, and gave him to his father.

⁵⁸ Jesus said to him, The foxes have holes, and the fowl of the sky a shelter; but the Son of man has no place even to lay his head.

⁹ And heal those who are sick in it, and say to them, The kingdom of God is come near to you.

¹¹ Even the sand of your city which cleaves to our feet, we shake it off to you; but know this that the kingdom of God has come near to you.

¹⁵ And you, Capernaum, which have exalted yourself up to heaven, you will be brought down to Sheol.

¹⁷ So the seventy whom he had sent returned with great joy, and they said to him, Our Lord, even the demons have submitted to us in your name. ¹⁸ He said to them, I saw Satan falling like lightning from heaven. ¹⁹ Behold, I give you power, to tread on snakes and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy; and nothing shall harm you. ²⁰ But do not rejoice in this that the demons submit to you; but rejoice because your names are written in heaven.

²² But if there should come one who is stronger than he, he will conquer him, and take away his armor in which he trusted, and divide his spoil.

¹⁰ While Jesus was teaching in one of the synagogues on the sabbath,

²⁶ He who comes to me and does not put aside his father, and his mother, and his brothers, and his sisters, and his wife, and his children, and even his own life, he cannot be a disciple to me.

³³ So every man of you, who would not leave all his possessions, cannot be a disciple to me.

¹² And when he drew near to enter a village, he was met by ten lepers, and they stood afar off; ¹³ And they lifted their voices saying, O Jesus, our Master, have mercy on us. ¹⁴ And when he saw them he said to them, Go, show yourselves to the priests; and while they were going, they were cleansed.

¹⁴ And when he saw them he said to them, Go, show yourselves to the priests; and while they were going, they were cleansed. ¹⁵ But one of them, when he saw that he was cleansed, turned back, and with a loud voice praised God. ¹⁶ And he fell on his face at the feet of Jesus, thanking him; and this one was a Samaritan. ¹⁷ Jesus answered and said, Were there not ten who were cleansed? where are the nine? ¹⁸ Why did they separate themselves so as not to come and give praise to God, except this man who is of a strange people? ¹⁹ And he said to him, Arise, go, your faith has healed you.

²⁸ Simon Peter said to him, Behold we have left everything and followed you. ²⁹ Jesus said to him, Truly I say to you, that there is no man who leaves houses, or parents, or brothers, or wife, or children for the sake of the kingdom of God, ³⁰ Who will not receive many times more at this time, and in the world to come life everlasting. ³¹ Then Jesus took the twelve and said to them, Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and all things which are written by the prophets concerning the Son of man will be fulfilled.

¹⁵ For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your enemies will not be able to withstand.

³⁹ And he went out and went away, as it was his custom, to the Mount of the Home of Olives; and his disciples also followed him. ⁴⁰ And when he arrived at a place, he said to them, Pray that you may not enter into temptation. ⁴¹ And he separated from them, about the distance of a stoneÆs throw, and he kneeled down, and prayed,

⁴¹ And he separated from them, about the distance of a stoneÆs throw, and he kneeled down, and prayed, ⁴² Saying, O Father, if you will, let this cup pass from me; but not as I will, but your will be done. ⁴³ And there appeared to him an angel from heaven, to strengthen him. ⁴⁴ And he was in fear, and prayed earnestly; and his sweat became like drops of blood; and he fell down upon the ground. ⁴⁵ Then he rose up from his prayer, and came to his disciples, and found them sleeping because of distress. ⁴⁶ And he said to them, Why do you sleep? rise and pray that you may not enter into temptation.

¹⁹ He said to them, What things? They said to him, About Jesus of Nazareth, a man who was a prophet, mighty in word and deed before God and before all the people.

⁴⁷ And that repentance should be preached in his name for the forgiveness of sins among all nations; and the beginning will be from Jerusalem.

¹⁴ And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we saw his glory, a glory like that of the firstborn of the Father, full of grace and truth. ¹⁵ John witnessed concerning him and cried and said, This is the one of whom I said, He is coming after me, and yet he is ahead of me, because he was before me.

¹⁹ This is the testimony of John, when the Jews sent to him priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, Who are you? ²⁰ And he confessed and did not deny it; but he declared, I am not the Christ. ²¹ Then they asked him again, What then? Are you Elijah? And he said, I am not. Are you a prophet? And he said, No. ²² Then they said to him, Who are you? so that we may give an answer to those who sent us. What do you say concerning yourself? ²³ He said, I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Straighten the highway of the Lord, as the prophet Isaiah said. ²⁴ Those who were sent were from the Pharisees. ²⁵ And they asked him and said to him, Why then do you baptize, if you are not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor a prophet? ²⁶ John answered and said to them, I baptize with water; but among you stands one whom you do not know; ²⁷ This is the one who comes after me, and is ahead of me, the one even the strings of whose shoes I am not good enough to untie.

²⁷ This is the one who comes after me, and is ahead of me, the one even the strings of whose shoes I am not good enough to untie. ²⁸ These things happened in Bethany, at the Jordan crossing, where John was baptizing.

²⁸ These things happened in Bethany, at the Jordan crossing, where John was baptizing. ²⁹ The next day John saw Jesus coming to him, and he said, Behold the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world! ³⁰ This is the one of whom I said, The man who comes after me is yet ahead of me, because he was before me. ³¹ And I did not know him; but that he might be made known to Israel, I came to baptize with water. ³² And John testified and said, I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it rested upon him. ³³ And yet I did not know him; but he who sent me to baptize with water, said to me, The one upon whom you see the Spirit descending and resting, he is the one who will baptize with the Holy Spirit. ³⁴ And I saw and testified that this is the Son of God.

³⁴ And I saw and testified that this is the Son of God.

⁴⁰ One of them who heard John and followed Jesus, was Andrew, the brother of Simon. ⁴¹ He saw his brother Simon first, and said to him, We have found the Christ. ⁴² And he brought him to Jesus. And Jesus looked at him and said, You are Simon the son of Jonah; you are called Kepa (a Stone).

⁴⁹ Nathanael answered, saying to him, Rabbi, you are the Son of God, you are the King of Israel.

¹⁶ For God so loved the world, that he even gave his only begotten Son, so that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life.

²² After these things, Jesus and his disciples came to the land of Judaea, and he remained there with them, and baptized. ²³ John also was baptizing at the spring of Aenon near to Salim, because there was much water there; and they came, and were baptized.

²³ John also was baptizing at the spring of Aenon near to Salim, because there was much water there; and they came, and were baptized. ²⁴ For John was not yet cast into prison.

²⁶ So they came to John and told him, Teacher, he who was with you at the Jordan crossing, concerning whom you testified, behold, he also is baptizing and a great many are coming to him.

²⁸ You yourselves bear me witness that I said, I am not the Christ, but only a messenger to go before him.

²⁸ You yourselves bear me witness that I said, I am not the Christ, but only a messenger to go before him. ²⁹ He who has a bride is the bridegroom; and the best man of the bridegroom is he who stands up and listens to him, and rejoices greatly because of the bridegroomÆs voice; this my joy therefore is fulfilled.

²⁹ He who has a bride is the bridegroom; and the best man of the bridegroom is he who stands up and listens to him, and rejoices greatly because of the bridegroomÆs voice; this my joy therefore is fulfilled. ³⁰ He must become greater and I lesser.

³⁰ He must become greater and I lesser. ³¹ For he who has come from above is above all; and he who is of the earth is of the earth, and he speaks of earthly things; but he who has come from heaven is above all.

³¹ For he who has come from above is above all; and he who is of the earth is of the earth, and he speaks of earthly things; but he who has come from heaven is above all. ³² And he testifies of what he has seen and heard, and yet no man accepts his testimony. ³³ He who accepts his testimony, has set his seal that God is true. ³⁴ For he whom God has sent, speaks the words of God; for God did not give the Spirit by measure. ³⁵ The Father loves the Son, and has placed everything under his hand. ³⁶ He who believes in the Son has eternal life; and he who does not obey the Son, shall not see life, but the wrath of God shall remain on him.

³⁴ Jesus said to them, My food is to do the will of him who sent me, and to finish his work.

⁵⁰ Jesus said to him, Go, your son is healed. And the man believed the word that Jesus said to him and went away. ⁵¹ And as he was going down, his servants met him and brought him good news, saying, Your son is healed. ⁵² And he asked them, At what time was he healed? They said to him, Yesterday at the seventh hour, the fever left him. ⁵³ And his father knew that it was at that very hour when Jesus told him, Your son is healed; so he himself believed and his whole household.

²⁰ For the Father loves his Son, and he shows him everything that he does; and he will show him greater works than these, so that you may marvel. ²¹ For just as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, even so the Son gives life to those whom he will. ²² For the Father does not judge any man, but he has entrusted all judgment to the Son; ²³ So that every man should honor the Son, just as he honors the Father. He who does not honor the Son, does not honor the Father who sent him.

³⁷ And the Father who sent me has testified concerning me. But you have never heard his voice, nor seen his appearance.

² And a great many people followed him, because they saw the miracles which he performed on sick people.

⁸ One of his disciples, Andrew the brother of Simon Peter, said to him,

¹⁵ But Jesus knew that they were ready to come and seize him to make him a king, so he departed to the mountain alone.

⁶⁹ And we have believed and known that you are the Christ, the Son of the living God.

⁴⁶ The soldiers said to them, Never a man has spoken as this man speaks.

⁴ I must do the works of him who sent me, while it is day; the night comes when no man can work.

³ His two sisters therefore sent to Jesus, saying, Our Lord, behold, the one whom you love is sick.

⁴⁸ If we allow him to continue like this, all men will believe in him; and the Romans will come and take over both our country and our people.

¹⁹ The Pharisees said one to another, Do you see that you have not been able to gain anything? Behold, all the people have gone after him.

²² Philip came and told Andrew; then Andrew and Philip told Jesus.

²⁸ O Father, glorify your name. Then a voice was heard from heaven, I am glorified, and I shall again be glorified. ²⁹ And the people who stood by heard it, and said, It was thunder; others said, An angel spoke to him. ³⁰ Jesus answered and said to them, This voice was not on my account, but for your sake.

³ You have already been pruned because of the word which I have spoken to you.

²⁸ I came forth from the Father, and I came into the world; again, I am leaving the world and I am going to the Father.

⁴ I have already glorified you on the earth; for the work which you had given to me to do, I have finished it.

⁸ For the words which you gave me I gave them; and they accepted them, and have known truly that I came forth from you, and they have believed that you sent me.

³¹ Even these are written, so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and when you believe you shall have life everlasting in his name.

¹ THE first book have I written, O TheophÆi- lus, concerning all the things which our Lord Jesus Christ began to do and teach ² Until the day when he ascended after he, through the Holy Spirit, had given commandments to the apostles whom he had chosen;

⁵ For John baptized with water; but you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days hence.

¹³ And after they had entered into the city, they went up into an upper room, where stayed Peter and John and James and Andrew, and also Philip and Thomas, and Matthew and Bar-tholÆo-mew and James the son of Al-phµÆus, and Simon the zealot, and Judas the son of James.

⁴ And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they began to speak in various languages, according to whatever the Spirit gave them to speak.

¹⁷ It shall come to pass in the last days, said God, I will pour my spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy and your young men shall see visions and your old men shall dream dreams:

²⁷ Because you will not leave my soul in the grave neither will you suffer your Holy One to see corruption.

³⁶ Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly that God has made this very Jesus whom you have crucified, both Lord and Christ. ³⁷ When they heard these things, their hearts were touched and they said to Simon and the rest of the apostles, Our brethren, what shall we do? ³⁸ Then Simon said to them, Repent and be baptized, every one of you in the name of the LORD Jesus for the remission of sins, so that you may receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

³⁸ Then Simon said to them, Repent and be baptized, every one of you in the name of the LORD Jesus for the remission of sins, so that you may receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

³⁸ Then Simon said to them, Repent and be baptized, every one of you in the name of the LORD Jesus for the remission of sins, so that you may receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. ³⁹ For the promise was made to you and to your children, and for all of those who are far off, even as many as the very God shall call. ⁴⁰ And he testified to them with many other words and besought them, saying, Save yourselves from this sinful generation. ⁴¹ And those men among them who readily accepted his word and believed were baptized and about three thousand souls were added in that day.

¹⁴ But you denied the Holy One and the Righteous and asked a murderer to be given to you;

²⁷ For truly, they assembled in this very city, together with both Herod and Pilate and with the Gentiles and with the people of Israel, against your holy Son Jesus,

¹⁰ But they were unable to stand up against the wisdom and the spirit by which he spoke.

⁶⁰ And as he knelt down, he cried with a loud voice and said, Our LORD, do not hold this sin against them. When he had said this, he passed away.

²¹ But all those who heard him were amazed and said: Is this not he who persecuted those who called on this name in Jerusalem and behold, he was sent here for that very purpose that he might bring them bound to the high priests? ²² But Saul became more powerful and he made the Jews who dwelt in Damascus tremble when he proved that Jesus is the Christ.

⁴¹ And he gave her his hand, and lifted her up; then he called the saints and widows and presented her to them alive.

³⁷ And you also are familiar with the news which was published throughout Judµa, which sprang from Galilee, after the baptism preached by John;

⁴⁵ And the Jewish converts who had come with him were seized with amazement because the gift of the Holy Spirit was poured out on the Gentiles also;

¹⁵ And as I began to speak, the Holy Spirit came on them, as on us at the beginning. ¹⁶ Then I remembered that word of our LORD, when he said, John indeed baptized with water; but you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit.

² And he killed James the brother of John with the sword.

¹⁴ But they left PerÆga and came to AnÆtioch, a city in Pi-sidÆi-a, and on the Sabbath day they went into the synagogue and sat down. ¹⁵ And after the reading of the law and the prophets, the elders of the synagogue sent to them, saying, O men and brethren, if you have a word of encouragement for the people, speak. ¹⁶ So Paul stood up, and lifting his hands said, O men of Israel, and those of you who fear God, hear my words: ¹⁷ The God of this people of IsÆra-el chose our forefathers, and exalted and multiplied them when they dwelt as strangers in the land of Egypt, and with a strong arm he brought them out of it. ¹⁸ And he fed them in the wilderness for forty years. ¹⁹ And he destroyed seven nations in the land of CaÆnaan, and he gave them their land for an inheritance. ²⁰ And for a period of four hundred and fifty years he gave them judges until the time of the prophet Samuel. ²¹ Then they asked for a king, and God gave them Saul the son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, for a period of forty years. ²² And when in time God took Saul away he raised up to them David to be their king; concerning whom he testified and said, I have found David, the son of Jesse, a man after my own heart, to do my will. ²³ Of this manÆs seed God has, according to his promise, raised to Israel a Saviour, Jesus: ²⁴ Before whose coming, he had sent John to preach the baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel.

²⁴ Before whose coming, he had sent John to preach the baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel. ²⁵ And as John fulfilled his ministry, he said, Whom do you think I am? I am not he. But behold there comes one after me the strings of whose shoes I am not worthy to untie.

²⁵ And as John fulfilled his ministry, he said, Whom do you think I am? I am not he. But behold there comes one after me the strings of whose shoes I am not worthy to untie.

²⁵ And as John fulfilled his ministry, he said, Whom do you think I am? I am not he. But behold there comes one after me the strings of whose shoes I am not worthy to untie. ²⁶ O men and brethren, descendants of the family of Abraham, and whosoever among you fears God, to you is the word of salvation sent. ²⁷ For in as much as the inhabitants of Jerusalem and their leaders did not understand him nor the books of the prophets which are read every Sabbath day, they condemned him; but all the things which were written have been fulfilled. ²⁸ And though they found no cause for his death, they asked Pilate that they might kill him. ²⁹ And when they had fulfilled all that was written of him, they lowered him from the cross and laid him in a sepulchre. ³⁰ But God raised him from the dead; ³¹ And for many days he was seen by them who had come up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, and they are now his witnesses to the people. ³² And behold we also preach to you that that very promise which was made to our fathers, ³³ Behold God has fulfilled it unto us their children, for he has raised up Jesus, just as it is written in the second psalm, You are my son, this day I have begotten you. ³⁴ And God raised him from the dead, no more to return to corruption, as he said, I will give you the sure mercies of David. ³⁵ And again he said in another place, You shall not suffer your Holy One to see corruption. ³⁶ For David, after he had served his own generation with the will of God, passed away; though he was a greater man than his fathers, yet he saw corruption. ³⁷ But he whom God raised did not see corruption. ³⁸ Be it known to you, therefore, brethren, that through this very one is preached to you the forgiveness of sins: ³⁹ And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which you could not be justified by the law of Moses. ⁴⁰ Beware, therefore, lest that which is written in the prophets may come upon you. ⁴¹ Be careful, O you despisers, for you shall wonder and perish: for I will do a great work in your day which you will not believe even if a man tell it to you. ⁴² And as Paul and BarÆna-bas were leaving them, the people besought them to speak these things to them the next sabbath. ⁴³ Now when the congregation was dismissed, a great many Jews, and also proselytes who feared God, followed Paul and BarÆna-bas: who, speaking to them, persuaded them to continue in the grace of God. ⁴⁴ And the next sabbath day the whole city gathered to hear the word of God.

⁴⁴ And the next sabbath day the whole city gathered to hear the word of God. ⁴⁵ But when the Jews saw the great crowd, they were filled with envy, and they bitterly opposed the words of Paul, and they blasphemed. ⁴⁶ Then Paul and BarÆna-bas said to them boldly, It was necessary that the word of God should first be spoken to you: but because you reject it, you have decided against yourselves and you are unworthy of everlasting life, so behold, we turn to the Gentiles. ⁴⁷ For so has our Lord commanded us, as it is written, I have set you to be a light to the Gentiles, that you should be for salvation unto the ends of the earth. ⁴⁸ And when the Gentiles heard this, they were glad and glorified God; and as many as were ordained to eternal life believed. ⁴⁹ And the word of the Lord was published throughout all that region. ⁵⁰ But the Jews stirred up the chief men of the city and the rich women who worshipped God with them, so that they stirred up a persecution against Paul and BarÆna-bas, and expelled them beyond their borders. ⁵¹ And as they went out, they shook off the dust of their feet upon them, and they came to the city of I-coÆni-um. ⁵² And the disciples were filled with joy, and with the Holy Spirit.

¹⁶ And it came to pass, as we went to the house of prayer, we were met by a young girl who was possessed of a spirit, and who did for her masters a great business by fortune telling. ¹⁷ And she followed Paul and us, crying and saying, These men are the servants of the most high God, and they preach to you the way of salvation.

¹⁷ And she followed Paul and us, crying and saying, These men are the servants of the most high God, and they preach to you the way of salvation. ¹⁸ And she did this for many days. So Paul was indignant and said to the spirit, I command you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And it left her the same hour.

² And Paul, as was his custom, went in to join them, and for three sabbaths, he spoke to them from the scriptures,

⁴ And he spoke in the synagogue every sabbath, and persuaded the Jews and the pagans.

³ Then he said to them, By what baptism then were you baptized? They said, By the baptism of John. ⁴ Then said Paul, John verily baptized the people with the baptism of repentance, saying unto them that they should believe on him who should come after him, that is, Jesus Christ.

⁴ Then said Paul, John verily baptized the people with the baptism of repentance, saying unto them that they should believe on him who should come after him, that is, Jesus Christ. ⁵ When they heard these things, they were baptized in the name of our LORD Jesus Christ. ⁶ And when Paul laid his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came on them; and they spoke in divers tongues, and prophesied.

¹⁸ And many of them that believed came, and told their faults, and confessed what they had done.

²¹ Thus testifying both to the Jews and to the SyrÆi-ans, about repentance toward God and faith in our LORD Jesus Christ.

²⁵ And now I know that you, among whom I have traveled and preached the kingdom of God, shall see my face no more.

¹⁶ And now why do you delay? Arise, and be baptized and wash away your sins calling on the name of the LORD.

⁵ We have found this man to be a pestilent fellow and a worker of sedition among the Jews throughout the world, for he is the ringleader of the sect of the NazÆa-renes.

²³ So they appointed a day for him and many gathered together and came to him where he was staying; and he explained to them about the Kingdom of God, thus testifying and persuading them concerning Jesus, both out of the law of Moses, and out of the prophets, from morning till evening.

¹ PAUL, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, and chosen to proclaim the gospel of God ² Which was promised from early days by his prophets in the holy scriptures, ³ Concerning his son who was born in the flesh of the seed of the house of David, ⁴ And who came to be known as the Son of God with power and with the Holy Spirit, because he arose from the dead, and he is Jesus Christ our LORD,

⁴ And who came to be known as the Son of God with power and with the Holy Spirit, because he arose from the dead, and he is Jesus Christ our LORD,

³ For the law was weak through the weakness of the flesh, so God sent his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, on account of sin, in order to condemn sin by means of his flesh:

³² If he did not spare his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, why will he not freely give us all things with him?

⁴ For whatever things were written of old were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope.

²⁶ For God is the only wise one, and to him be glory through Jesus Christ for ever and ever: Amen.

⁵ And have we not the right to travel with a Christian wife, just as the rest of the apostles, and as the brothers of our LORD, and as Cephas?

¹¹ Now all of these things which happened to them are an example for us: and they are written for our admonition, for the world will come to an end in our day.

¹³ For all of us are baptized by one Spirit into one body, whether Jews or Gentiles, whether bond or free; and we have all received through the one Spirit.

² But we have renounced the hidden things of shame, and we do not practice cunning, nor do we handle the word of God deceitfully, but by manifestation of the truth we commend ourselves to every manÆs conscience before God.

¹⁶ And now from henceforth we do not know any one in the body: even though once we had known Christ in the body, we no longer know him now.

⁴ But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son who, born of a woman, became subject to the law,

¹⁰ As a dispensation of the fulness of times, that all things might be made new in heaven and on earth through Christ:

¹⁷ And he came and preached peace to you who are far away and to those who are near.

¹⁴ For this cause I bow my knees to the Father of our LORD Jesus Christ,

¹⁸ And pray always, with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and in that prayer be watchful at all times, praying constantly and supplicating for all the saints,

⁵ Reason this within you which Jesus Christ also reasoned,

⁸ And I still count them all a loss, for the sake of abundant knowledge of Jesus Christ my LORD: for whom I have lost everything, and I have considered all those things as refuse, so that I may increase in Christ

¹³ And has delivered us from the power of darkness, and brought us to the kingdom of his beloved Son:

¹⁶ Truly great is this divine mystery of righteousness: it is revealed in the flesh, justi- fied in the Spirit, seen by angels, preached to the Gentiles, believed on in the world, and received up into glory.

²⁵ So that he may discipline gently those who argue against him; and perhaps God will grant them repentance and they will know the truth: ²⁶ And come to themselves, and be saved from the trap of Satan, by whom they have been trapped to his will.

¹⁰ For there are many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers of the people, especially those who belong to the circumcision:

⁵ Not so much by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy, he saved us by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Spirit; ⁶ Which he shed on us abundantly, through Jesus Christ our Saviour,

¹ FROM of old God spoke to our fathers by the prophets in every manner and in all ways; and in these latter days, he has spoken to us by his Son; ² Whom he has appointed heir of all things, and by whom also he made the worlds; ³ For he is the brightness of his glory and the express image of his being, upholding all things by the power of his word; and when he had through his person, cleansed our sins, then he sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;

¹⁷ Therefore it was meet and proper that in every thing he should resemble his brethren, that he might be a merciful, and faithful high priest in the things of God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people.

¹⁷ Therefore it was meet and proper that in every thing he should resemble his brethren, that he might be a merciful, and faithful high priest in the things of God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people. ¹⁸ For in that he himself has suffered, being tempted, he is able to help those who are tempted.

¹² For the word of God is living and powerful and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the point of division between soul and spirit, and between the joints and marrow and bones, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. ¹³ And there is no creature which is hidden from his sight: but all things are naked and open before the eyes of him to whom we are to answer.

¹⁵ For we do not have a high priest who cannot share our infirmities, but we have one who was tempted with everything as we are, and yet without sin.

⁷ Even when he was clothed in the flesh, he offered prayers and supplications, with vehement cries and tears, to him who was able to save him from death; and verily he was heard.

¹⁹ You believe that there is one God; you do well. The devils also believe, and they tremble.

¹⁴ And if any be sick, let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of our LORD: ¹⁵ And the prayer of faith shall heal the sick, and our LORD shall raise him up; and if he has committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.

¹⁷ For he received from God the Father honor and glory, when there came such a voice to him from the excellent and majestic glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. ¹⁸ And this very voice which came from heaven we also heard when we were with him on the holy mount.

¹ HE who was from the beginning, the one whom we have heard and seen with our eyes, looked upon and handled with our hands, we declare to you that he is the word of life. ² For the life was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear witness to it, and preach to you eternal life, which was with the Father, and was revealed to us; ³ It is that which we have seen and heard that we declare to you, so that you also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son Jesus Christ.

⁸ If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. ⁹ If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. ¹⁰ If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar and his word is not in us.

¹¹ And this is the testimony, that God has given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. ¹² He who believes on the Son has life; he who does not believe on the Son of God does not have life.

⁷ And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write; These things says he who is the holy one, he who is true, he who has the key of David, he who opens and no man shuts; and shuts, and no man opens;
