²⁶ And if not so, what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I say to you, and much more than a prophet. ²⁷ This is he of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before your face, to prepare the way before you.

²⁷ This is he of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before your face, to prepare the way before you.

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.

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.

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. ²⁹ And all the people who heard it, even the publicans, justified themselves before God, for they were baptized with the baptism of John.

²⁹ And all the people who heard it, even the publicans, justified themselves before God, for they were baptized with the baptism of John.

²⁹ And all the people who heard it, even the publicans, justified themselves before God, for they were baptized with the baptism of John. ³⁰ But the Pharisees and the scribes suppressed the will of God in themselves, because they were not baptized by him.

³⁰ But the Pharisees and the scribes suppressed the will of God in themselves, because they were not baptized by him. ³¹ To whom, therefore, shall I liken the men of this generation? and to what are they like? ³² They are like boys who sit in the street, and call to their friends and say, We have sung to you but you did not dance; and we have wailed to you and you did not weep. ³³ For John the Baptist came, neither eating bread nor drinking wine; and you say, He is insane. ³⁴ The Son of man came, eating and drinking; and you say, Behold, a glutton and a winebibber, and a friend of publicans and sinners!

³⁴ The Son of man came, eating and drinking; and you say, Behold, a glutton and a winebibber, and a friend of publicans and sinners! ³⁵ And yet wisdom is justified by all its works.

³⁵ And yet wisdom is justified by all its works. ³⁶ Then one of the Pharisees came and asked him to eat with him. And he entered the house of that Pharisee and reclined as a guest.

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,

⁸ And other fell in good and fertile ground; and sprung up and bore fruit a hundredfold. And when he said this, he cried out, He who has ears to hear, let him hear.

¹⁸ Take heed how you hear; for he who has, to him shall be given; and he who has not, even that which he thinks he has shall be taken away from him.

³⁵ And some men went out to see what had happened; and they came to Jesus, and found the man from whom the demons had gone out, dressed, and well behaved, and sitting at the feet of Jesus; and they were afraid.

¹⁰ When the apostles returned, they told Jesus everything which they had done. And he took them all alone to a lonely place in Bethsaida.

⁴⁸ And he said to them, Everyone who receives a little boy like this one in my name, receives me; and he who receives me receives him who sent me; for whoever is least among you, let him be great.

⁵¹ And it happened, when the days to go up on his journey were fulfilled, he set his face to go to Jerusalem. ⁵² So he sent messengers ahead of him; and they went away and entered into a Samaritan village, to prepare for him. ⁵³ But they did not receive him, because his face was set to go straight to Jerusalem. ⁵⁴ When his disciples James and John saw it, they said to him, Our Lord, would you be willing that we command fire to come down from heaven and consume them, just as Elijah did? ⁵⁵ He turned and rebuked them and said, You do not know of what spirit you are. ⁵⁶ For the Son of man did not come to destroy lives, but to save. And they went to another village.

¹² I say to you, that it will be much easier for Sodom in that day than for that city. ¹³ Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! If the mighty works which were done in you, had been done in Tyre and Sidon, perhaps they might have repented with sackcloth and ashes. ¹⁴ But, it will be easier for Tyre and Sidon at the judgment day than for you.

¹⁴ But, it will be easier for Tyre and Sidon at the judgment day than for you. ¹⁵ And you, Capernaum, which have exalted yourself up to heaven, you will be brought down to Sheol.

²¹ At that very hour, Jesus rejoiced in the Holy Spirit and said, I thank you, O my Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you did hide these things from the wise and men of understanding, and did reveal them to children; yes, my Father, for so it was well pleasing in your presence.

²¹ At that very hour, Jesus rejoiced in the Holy Spirit and said, I thank you, O my Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you did hide these things from the wise and men of understanding, and did reveal them to children; yes, my Father, for so it was well pleasing in your presence. ²² And he turned to his disciples and said to them, Everything has been entrusted to me by my Father; and no man knows who is the Son, except the Father; and who is the Father except the Son, and to whomever the Son wishes to reveal him.

²² And he turned to his disciples and said to them, Everything has been entrusted to me by my Father; and no man knows who is the Son, except the Father; and who is the Father except the Son, and to whomever the Son wishes to reveal him. ²³ Then he turned to his disciples alone and said, Blessed are the eyes which see what you see. ²⁴ For I say to you, that many prophets and kings desired to see what you see, and did not see it; and to hear what you hear, and did not hear it.

³⁹ And she had a sister whose name was Mary, and she came and sat at the feet of our Lord, and listened to his words. ⁴⁰ But Martha was busy with many household cares, and she came and said to him, My Lord, you do not seem to care that my sister has left me to serve alone? tell her to help me. ⁴¹ Jesus answered and said to her, Martha, Martha, you are worried and excited about many things; ⁴² But one thing is more necessary; and Mary has chosen the good portion for herself, which shall not be taken away from her.

²⁷ While he was saying these things, a woman out of the multitude lifted up her voice and said to him, Blessed is the womb which bore you, and the breasts which gave you suck. ²⁸ He said to her, Blessed are they who hear the word of God and keep it.

⁴² But woe to you Pharisees! who take tithes of mint and dill and every kind of vegetable, but overlook justice and the love of God. These were necessary for you to have done, and the same by no means to have left undone. ⁴³ Woe to you Pharisees! for you love chief seats in the synagogues, and salutations in the streets. ⁴⁴ Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for you are like graves that cannot be recognized, and men walk over them and know it not. ⁴⁵ One of the scribes answered and said to him, Teacher, when you say these things, you reproach us also. ⁴⁶ But he said, Woe also to you, scribes! for you lay heavy burdens on men, and you yourselves do not touch these burdens even with one of your fingers. ⁴⁷ Woe to you! for you build the tombs of prophets, whom your fathers killed. ⁴⁸ Therefore you are witnesses, and you approve the works of your fathers; for they killed them, and yet you build their tombs. ⁴⁹ For this reason, the wisdom of God also said, Behold, I will send them prophets and apostles, some of them they will persecute and kill; ⁵⁰ That the blood of all the prophets, which was shed since the creation of the world, may be avenged on this generation; ⁵¹ From the blood of Abel to the blood of Zacharias, who was killed between the temple and the altar; yes, I say to you, it will be avenged on this generation. ⁵² Woe to you, scribes! for you have taken away the keys of knowledge; you did not enter, and those who were entering you hindered.

⁴⁷ And the servant who knows the wishes of his master, and does not make ready according to his wishes, will receive a severe beating. ⁴⁸ But he who does not know, and does what is worthy of punishment will receive less beating. For to whomever more is given, of him more will be required; and to whom much is entrusted, more will be required of his hand.

¹⁸ Jesus said, To what is the kingdom of God like? and to what shall I liken it?

²⁴ Strive to enter in through the narrow door; for I say to you, that many will seek to enter in, and will not be able.

¹ AND it came to pass when he entered the house of one of the leaders of the Pharisees to eat bread on a sabbath day, they watched him.

¹¹ For whoever exalts himself will be humbled; and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.

³⁵ It is good neither for the ground nor for fertilizing; but it is thrown out. He who has ears to hear let him hear.

¹ THEN the publicans and sinners drew near to him to hear him. ² And the scribes and Pharisees murmured, saying, He receives even the sinners and eats with them.

²⁵ But his elder son was in the field; and as he came near the house, he heard the voice of the singing of many.

¹⁶ The law and prophets were until John; from that time the kingdom of God is preached, and everyone presses to enter into it.

²³ And while he was tormented in Sheol, he lifted up his eyes from a distance, and saw Abraham, with Lazarus in his bosom.

⁷ Now when they all saw it, they murmured, saying, He has entered to stay in the house of a sinner.

³⁸ Saying, Blessed is the king who comes in the name of the Lord; peace in heaven and glory in the highest.

⁴² Saying, O Father, if you will, let this cup pass from me; but not as I will, but your will be done.

²⁷ And he began from Moses and from all the prophets, and interpreted to them from all the scriptures concerning himself.

⁴⁴ And he said to them, These are the words which I spoke to you when I was with you, that everything must be fulfilled which is written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me.

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.

¹⁸ No man has ever seen God; but the firstborn of God, who is in the bosom of his Father, he has declared him.

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.

²³ He said, I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Straighten the highway of the Lord, as the prophet Isaiah said.

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.

³⁸ And Jesus turned around and saw them following him, and he said to them, What do you want? They said to him, Rabbi (Teacher), where do you live?

⁴⁴ Now Philip was from Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Simon.

² And Jesus and his disciples were also invited to the marriage feast.

²³ Now when Jesus was in Jerusalem at the passover, during the feast, a great many believed in him, because they saw the miracles which he did.

² He came at night to Jesus and said to him, Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher sent from God; for no man can do these miracles that you are doing, except God is with him.

⁵ Jesus answered and said to him, Truly, truly, I say to you, If a man is not born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. ⁶ What is born of flesh is flesh; and what is born of the Spirit is spirit. ⁷ Do not be surprised because I have told you that you all must be born again. ⁸ The wind blows where it pleases, and you hear its sound; but you do not know whence it comes and whither it goes; such is every man who is born of the Spirit. ⁹ Nicodemus answered and said to him, How can these things be? ¹⁰ Jesus answered and said to, You are a teacher of Israel, and yet you do not understand these things?

²⁴ For John was not yet cast into prison. ²⁵ Now it happened that a dispute arose between one of JohnÆs disciples and a Jew about the ceremony of purifying. 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. ²⁷ John answered and said to them, No man can receive anything of his own will, except it is given to him from heaven. ²⁸ You yourselves bear me witness that I said, I am not the Christ, but only a messenger to go before him.

³⁰ He must become greater and I lesser.

³⁵ The Father loves the Son, and has placed everything under his hand.

¹ WHEN Jesus knew that the Pharisees had heard he made many disciples, and was baptizing more people than John,

²¹ Jesus said to her, Woman, believe me, the time is coming, when neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem they will worship the Father.

⁴⁶ Then Jesus came again to Cana of Galilee, where he had made the water wine. And there was at Capernaum a servant of a king, whose son was sick. ⁴⁷ This man heard that Jesus had come from Judaea to Galilee; so he went to him and asked him to come down and heal his son; for he was near death. ⁴⁸ Jesus said to him, Unless you see miracles and wonders, you will not believe. ⁴⁹ The kingÆs servant said to him, My Lord, come down before the boy is dead. 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. ⁵⁴ This is again the second miracle which Jesus did, after he came from Judaea to Galilee.

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. ²⁴ Truly, truly, I say to you, He who hears my word, and believes him who has sent me, has everlasting life; and he does not come before the judgment, but he passes from death to life. ²⁵ Truly, truly, I say to you, The time is coming, and it is now already here, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God; and those who hear it will live. ²⁶ For as the Father has life in himself, even so he has given to the Son also to have life in himself. ²⁷ And he has given him authority to execute judgment also, for he is the Son of man. ²⁸ Do not wonder at this; for the time is coming, when all those who are in the graves will hear his voice, ²⁹ And they will come out; those who have done good works to the resurrection of life; and those who have done evil works to the resurrection of judgment.

³⁵ He was a lamp which burns and gives light; and you were willing to delight in his light for a while. ³⁶ But I have a greater testimony than that of John; for the works which my Father has given me to finish, the same works which I do, testify concerning me, that the Father has sent me.

⁴⁶ For if you had believed in Moses, you would also have believed in me; because Moses wrote concerning me. ⁴⁷ If you do not believe his writings, how then can you believe my words?

¹⁴ Then the men who saw the miracle which Jesus performed said, Truly this is the prophet who is to come into the world.

²⁷ Do not work for the food which perishes, but for the food which endures unto life everlasting, which the Son of man will give you; for this one God the Father has sealed.

³⁷ Everyone whom my Father has given me shall come to me; and he who comes to me, I will not cast him out.

⁴⁶ No man can see the Father, except he who is from God, he can see the Father.

⁶⁰ Many of his disciples who heard it said, This is a hard saying; who can listen to it? ⁶¹ Jesus knew in himself that his disciples were murmuring about this; so he said to them, Does this cause you to stumble?

⁶⁶ Just because of this saying, a great many of his disciples turned away, and did not walk with him.

²⁰ The people answered, saying, You are crazy; who wants to kill you?

²⁹ But I know him; because I am from him, and he sent me.

³¹ But a great many of the people believed in him and said, When the Christ comes, why, will he do greater wonders than this man does?

³⁷ Now on the greatest day, which is the last day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out and said, If any man is thirsty, let him come to me and drink.

³⁹ He said this concerning the Spirit, which they who believe in him were to receive; for the Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.

⁴¹ Others were saying, He is the Christ; but others said, Is it possible that Christ should come from Galilee? ⁴² Does not the scripture say that Christ will come from the seed of David, and from Bethlehem, the town of David?

⁴⁸ Why, have any of the leaders or of the Pharisees believed in him, ⁴⁹ Except this cursed people, who do not know the law?

⁴⁸ The Jews answered and said to him, Did we not say well, that you are a Samaritan, and that you are crazy?

³⁹ Then Jesus said to him, I have come for the judgment of this world, so that those who cannot see may see, and those who see may become blind. ⁴⁰ When some of the Pharisees who were with him heard these words, they said to him, Why, are we also blind? ⁴¹ Jesus said to them, If you were blind, you would have no sin; but now you say, We see; because of this your sin remains.

¹⁵ Just as my Father knows me, I also know my Father; and I lay down my life for the sake of the sheep.

²⁰ And many of them said, He is insane and rambles; why do you listen to him?

²⁵ Jesus answered and said to them, I have told you, but you do not believe; yet the works which I do, in the name of my Father, testify of me.

³⁸ But if I am doing them, even though you do not believe in me, believe in the works; so that you may know and believe that my Father is with me and I am with my Father.

⁴¹ And many men came to him and said, John did not perform a single miracle; but everything which John said concerning this man is true.

²⁷ She said to him, Yes, my Lord; I do believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God, who is to come to the world.

⁴¹ So they took away the stone. And Jesus lifted his eyes upwards, and said, O Father, I thank you for you have heard me,

⁴³ And when he had said this, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come outside. ⁴⁴ And the dead man came out, his hands and feet bound with burial clothes; and his face bound with a burial napkin. Jesus said to them, Loose him and let him go.

² And they gave him a banquet there; Martha served; but Lazarus was one of the guests who were with him. ³ Then Mary took a cruse containing pure and expensive nard, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair; and the house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume. ⁴ And Judas of Iscariot, one of his disciples, who was about to betray him, said, ⁵ Why was not this oil sold for three hundred pennies, and given to the poor? ⁶ He said this, not because he cared for the poor; but because he was a thief, and the purse was with him, and he carried whatever was put in it. ⁷ Jesus then said, Leave her alone; she has kept it for the day of my burial. ⁸ For you have the poor always with you, but me you have not always.

¹³ Took branches of palm trees, and went out to greet him, and they cried out and said, Hosanna, Blessed is the king of Israel who comes in the name of the Lord.

²¹ They came and approached Philip of Bethsaida of Galilee, and asked him, saying, My lord, we would like to see Jesus.

³⁸ So that the word of the prophet Isaiah might be fulfilled, who said, My Lord, who will believe our report, and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed? ³⁹ For this reason, they could not believe, because Isaiah said again, ⁴⁰ Their eyes have become blind and their heart darkened, so that they cannot see with their eyes and understand with their heart; let them return and I will heal them.

³ But Jesus, because he knew that the Father had given everything into his hands, and that he came from God, and was going to God,

¹⁵ For I have given you this as an example, so that just as I have done to you, you should also do.

¹⁷ If you know these things, blessed are you if you do them.

⁶ Jesus said to him, I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no man comes to my Father except by me. ⁷ If you had known me, you would have known my Father also; from henceforth you know him and you have seen him. ⁸ Philip said to him, Our Lord, show us the Father, and that is enough for us. ⁹ Jesus said to him, All this time I have been with you, and yet you do not know me, Philip? he who sees me, has seen the Father; and how do you say, Show us the Father?

¹¹ Believe that I am with my Father, and my Father is with me; and if not, believe because of the works. ¹² Truly, truly, I say to you, He who believes in me, the works which I do he shall do also; even greater than these things he shall do, because I am going to my Father.

²¹ He who has my commandments with him and obeys them, he is the one who loves me; he who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him, and reveal myself to him. ²² Judas (not of Iscariot) said to him, My Lord, why is it that you will reveal yourself to us, and not to the world? ²³ Jesus answered and said to him, He who loves me, keeps my word; and my Father will love him, and we will come to him, and make a place of abode with him. ²⁴ But he who does not love me, does not keep my word; and this word which you hear, is not mine own, but the FatherÆs who sent me.

¹⁰ If you keep my commandments, you will remain in my love; even as I have kept my FatherÆs commandments, and I remain in his love.

¹⁰ If you keep my commandments, you will remain in my love; even as I have kept my FatherÆs commandments, and I remain in his love. ¹¹ I have spoken these things to you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full. ¹² This is my commandment, that you love one another, just as I have loved you. ¹³ There is no greater love than this, when a man lays down his life for the sake of his friends. ¹⁴ You are my friends, if you do everything that I command you.

¹⁴ You are my friends, if you do everything that I command you.

¹² Again, I have many other things to tell you, but you cannot grasp them now.

¹⁴ He will glorify me; because he will take of my own and show to you.

³³ These things I have said to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but have courage; I have conquered the world.

² Since you have given him power over all flesh, so that to all whom you have given him, he may give life eternal. ³ And this is life eternal, that they might know you, that you are the only true God, even the one who sent Jesus Christ.

⁶ I have made your name known to the men whom you gave me out of the world; they were yours and you gave them to me; and they have kept thy word.

²⁵ O my righteous Father, the world did not know you, but I have known you; and these have known that you have sent me. ²⁶ And I have made your name known to them, and I am still making it known; so that the love with which you loved me may be among them, and I be with them.

² Until the day when he ascended after he, through the Holy Spirit, had given commandments to the apostles whom he had chosen;

²² Men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man of God, who appeared among you by miracles and signs and wonders which God did by him among you, as you yourselves know:

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

² Behold a certain man, lame from his motherÆs womb, was carried by men who were accustomed to bring him and lay him at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful so that he might ask alms from those who entered into the temple. ³ And when he saw Simon Peter and John entering the temple, he begged of them to give him alms. ⁴ And Simon Peter and John looked at him and said, Look at us. ⁵ And he looked at them, expecting to receive something from them. ⁶ Then Simon Peter said to him, Gold and silver have I none; but what I have I give to you: In the name of our LORD Jesus Christ of NazÆa-reth rise up and walk. ⁷ And he took him by the right hand and lifted him up; and in that very hour his legs and his feet received strength. ⁸ And he, leaping up, stood and walked, and entered with them into the temple, walking and leaping and praising God.

²² For Moses said, The LORD shall raise up a prophet like me for you from among your brethren; listen to him in all that he shall say to you.

²² For Moses said, The LORD shall raise up a prophet like me for you from among your brethren; listen to him in all that he shall say to you. ²³ And it shall come to pass that every soul which will not listen to that prophet, shall be lost from her people.

²³ And it shall come to pass that every soul which will not listen to that prophet, shall be lost from her people. ²⁴ Yea, and all the prophets from Samuel and those that follow after, as many as have spoken, and preached have likewise foretold of these days.

⁹ If we are convicted today by you, concerning the good which has been done to a sick man, on the ground of by what means he was healed; ¹⁰ Then let it be known to you, and to all the people of Israel, By the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, and whom God raised from the dead, behold this man stands before you, healed.

³⁷ This is the Moses who said to the children of Israel, The LORD your God will raise up for you a prophet, like me, from among your brethren; give heed to him.

³⁸ Concerning Jesus of Nazareth, whom God anointed with the Holy Spirit and with power, and who, because God was with him, went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed of the devil.

⁴² And he commanded us to preach to the people and to testify, that it is he who was ordained by God to be the judge of the living and of the dead.

²⁰ Herod was angry with the people of Tyre and Sidon, but they assembled together and came to him, and they appealed to BlasÆtus, the kingÆs chamberlain, and asked him that they might have peace, because their country was dependent upon the kingdom of Herod for food supplies.

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.

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.

⁸ And there dwelt in the city of LyÆstra a cripple who had been lame from his motherÆs womb, who never had walked. ⁹ He heard Paul speak; and when Paul saw him and perceived that there was faith in him to be healed, ¹⁰ He said to him with a loud voice, I say to you, in the name of our LORD Jesus Christ, stand upright on your feet. And he leaped and walked.

¹⁰ Now therefore why do you tempt God by putting a yoke upon the necks of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear?

²⁸ For it is the will of the Holy Spirit and of us, to lay upon you no additional burden than these necessary things;

²⁰ For you proclaim strange words to our ears and we want to know what these things mean.

²⁴ For the God, who made the world and all things therein, and who is the LORD of heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples made with hands;

¹ AND it came to pass, that while ApolÆlos was at CorÆinth, Paul traveled through the northern countries and came to EphÆe-sus, and inquired of the disciples whom he found there, ² Have you received the Holy Spirit since you were converted? They answered and said to him, We have not even heard that there is a Holy Spirit. ³ Then he said to them, By what baptism then were you baptized? They said, By the baptism of John.

²⁴ And while Paul was pleading in this manner, Festus cried with a loud voice: Paul, you are overwrought. Much study has made you mad.

³ And the next day, we arrived at Sidon. And the centurion treated Paul with kindness, permitting him to visit his friends and to rest.

²⁵ And as they were dismissed, disagreeing Acts 28 Paul preaches in Rome for two years. among themselves, Paul said to them this saying, Well spoke the Holy Spirit by the mouth of the prophet I-saÆiah against your fathers, ²⁶ Saying, Go to this people and say, Hearing you shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing you shall see and shall not perceive: ²⁷ For the heart of this people is hardened and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes have they closed; lest they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and repent before me, and I should forgive them. ²⁸ Let this be known to you therefore: that this salvation of God is sent to the Gentiles, for they will listen to it.

²¹ But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, and the very law and prophets testify to it;

²² For I delight in the law of God after the inward man: ²³ But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and it makes me a captive to the law of sin which is in my members. ²⁴ O wretched man that I am! Who shall deliver me from this mortal body? ²⁵ I thank God through our LORD Jesus Christ. Now therefore with my mind I am a servant of the law of God; but with my flesh I am a servant of the law of sin.

¹⁸ Thus he has mercy on whom he pleases, and he hardens whom he pleases.

³² Why? Because it was not sought by faith, but by the works of the law. So they stumbled at that stumbling-stone. ³³ As it is written, Behold, the prophet I give to Zion becomes a stumblingstone, and rock of offence: but whoever believes on him shall not be ashamed.

⁸ As it is written, God has given them a stubborn spirit, eyes that cannot see, and ears that cannot hear, to this very day. ⁹ And David said, Let their table become a snare, and a trap and a stumblingblock, and a recompense unto them. ¹⁰ Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see, and let their backs be bowed down always.

³³ O the depth of the riches, the wisdom, and the knowledge of God! for no man has searched his judgment, and his ways are inscrutable. ³⁴ For who has known the mind of the LORD? or who has been his counsellor? ³⁵ Or who has first given to him and then received from him? ³⁶ For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to him be glory and blessing, for ever and ever. Amen.

² Let every one of us please his neighbor in good and constructive ways.

²⁵ But now is made manifest by the scriptures of the prophets; and by the command of the eternal God, and is made known to all the peoples for the obedience of faith: ²⁶ For God is the only wise one, and to him be glory through Jesus Christ for ever and ever: Amen.

¹⁸ For the preaching of the cross * to those who have gone astray is foolishness; but to us who are saved it is the power of God. ¹⁹ For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and I will do away with the understanding of the prudent. ²⁰ Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the learned of this world? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? ²¹ Because all the wisdom which God had given was not sufficient for the world to know God, it pleased God to save those who believe by the simple gospel. ²² For the Jews demand signs, and the Syrians seek after wisdom:

²² For the Jews demand signs, and the Syrians seek after wisdom: ²³ But we preach Christ crucified, which is a stumbling block to the Jews and foolishness to the Syrians. *

²³ But we preach Christ crucified, which is a stumbling block to the Jews and foolishness to the Syrians. * ²⁴ But for those who are called, both Jews and Syrians, Christ is the power of God and the wisdom of God. ²⁵ Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men. ²⁶ For consider also your own calling, my brethren, not many among you are wise in terms of worldly things, and not many among you are mighty, and not many among you belong to the nobility. ²⁷ But God has chosen the foolish ones of the world to put the wise to shame; and God has chosen the weak ones of the world to embarrass the mighty; ²⁸ And he has chosen those of humble families in the world, and the lowly, and those who are insignificant, in order to belittle those who consider themselves important, ²⁹ So that no man should boast in his presence.

⁶ Howbeit we do discuss wisdom with those who have comprehension, yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the rulers of this world who pass away: ⁷ But we discuss the wisdom of God shown in a mysterious way, and it is hidden, but which God ordained before the world for our glory: ⁸ Which none of the rulers of the world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the LORD of glory.

¹⁴ For the material man rejects spiritual things, for they are foolishness to him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

² I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto you were unable to eat it, and even now you are not ready for it;

¹⁸ Let no man deceive himself. Whoever among you thinks he is wise in this world, let him consider himself a fool so that he may become wise. ¹⁹ For the wisdom of this world is foolishness before God. For it is written, He catches the wise in their own craftiness. ²⁰ And again, The LORD knows that the thoughts of the wise are vain.

¹¹ Even to this very hour we both hunger and thirst, and are naked and mistreated and have no permanent home;

⁴ You have worldly affairs to be settled, and yet you have put men of bad reputation in the church on the judgment seat.

¹⁹ Because I am free from all these things, I have served all men that I may gain many. ²⁰ So with the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might win the Jews; and with those who are under the law, I became as one who is under the law, in order to win those who are under the law. ²¹ To those who are without law, I became like one who is without law, though I am not lawless before God because I am under the law of Christ, that I might win them who are without law.

²¹ To those who are without law, I became like one who is without law, though I am not lawless before God because I am under the law of Christ, that I might win them who are without law. ²² With the weak I became as weak, that I might win the weak: I became everything to every man, that I might by all means save everyone. ²³ And this I do for the gospelÆs sake, that I might be partaker of it.

²⁷ But I conquer and subdue my body so that, by no chance, when I have preached to others, will I despise myself.

⁹ For I am the least of the apostles, and I am not worthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.

²⁵ For he must reign till he has put all enemies under his feet. ²⁶ And the last enemy that shall be destroyed is death. ²⁷ For he has put all things under his feet. But when he said all things are put under him, it is clear that he, who put all things under him, is excepted.

⁴ Who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we also may be able to comfort those who are in any trouble, by the very comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God. ⁵ For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also abounds in Christ.

¹⁷ When I, therefore, was considering this, did I consider it lightly or are the things which I am considering wholly worldly? Because they should have been either yes, yes, or no, no. ¹⁸ But as God is true, our word to you was not yes and no.

¹⁴ But their minds were blinded: for to this day, when the Old Testament is read, the same veil rests over them, and it is not known to them that the veil has been removed through Christ.

³ If our gospel is hidden, it is hidden to those who are lost: ⁴ To those in this world whose minds have been blinded by God, because they did not believe, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the likeness of God, should shine on them. ⁵ For we do not preach about ourselves, but about Christ Jesus our LORD; and as to ourselves, we are your servants for JesusÆ sake. ⁶ For God, who said, Let light shine out of darkness, has shone in our hearts, so that we may be enlightened with the knowledge of the glory of God in the person of Christ.

¹⁷ For while the troubles of the present time are little and light, a great and limitless glory for ever and ever is prepared for us.

¹ NOW I, Paul, beseech you by the gentleness and meekness of Christ, even though I am humble when present among you, I have the assurance when I am far away,

⁵ Casting down imaginations, and every false thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, and to capture every thought to the obedience of Christ;

²⁷ In toil and weariness, in sleepless nights, in hunger and thirst, through much fasting, in cold and nakedness.

⁹ And he said to me, My grace is sufficient for you: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore I would rather boast in my infirmities that the power of Christ may rest upon me. ¹⁰ Therefore I am content with infirmities, insults, hardships, persecutions, and imprisonments for ChristÆs sake: for when I am physically weak, then I am mentally strong.

¹ STAND firm therefore in the liberty with which Christ has made us free, and be not harnessed again under the yoke of servitude.

¹¹ And I, my brethren, if I still preach circumcision, why should I be persecuted? Why? Has the cross ceased to be a stumblingblock?

¹⁸ But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.

⁹ And because he has made known to us the mystery of his will, as he has ordained from the very beginning, to work through it;

¹¹ By whom we have been chosen, as he had marked us from the beginning so he wanted to carry out everything according to the good judgment of his will:

²⁰ Which he wrought through Christ, when he raised him from the dead and set him at his own right hand in heaven, ²¹ Far above all angels and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world but also in the world which is to come: ²² And has put all things under his feet, and made him, who is above all things, the head of the church, ²³ Which is his body, and confirmation of him who fulfills all things and every thing.

³ In those very deeds in which we were also corrupted from the very beginning through the lusts of the flesh, fulfilling the wills of the flesh and of the mind: thereby we became completely the children of wrath, even as others.

⁸ Even to me, who am less than the least of all the saints, this grace was given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ:

⁸ Even to me, who am less than the least of all the saints, this grace was given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ: ⁹ And that I may enlighten all men that they may see what is the dispensation of the mystery, which for ages had been hidden from the world by God who created all things: ¹⁰ To the intent that through the church the manifold wisdom of God may be made known to the angels and powers which are in heaven, ¹¹ Which is the wisdom he prepared in ages past, and has carried out in Jesus Christ our LORD:

¹⁴ That we henceforth be not as children easily stirred and carried away by every wind of false doctrines of men who through their craftiness are artful in deceiving the people;

²⁰ But that is not what you have been taught about Christ; ²¹ If you have truly heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is found in Jesus:

¹¹ Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. ¹² For your conflict is not only with flesh and blood, but also with the angels, and with powers, with the rulers of this world of darkness, and with the evil spirits under the heavens. ¹³ Wherefore put you on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to meet the evil one, and being prepared you shall prevail.

⁵ Reason this within you which Jesus Christ also reasoned,

⁷ But made himself of no reputation and took upon himself the form of a servant, and was in the likeness of men: ⁸ And, being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient to death, even the death of the cross.

¹⁰ That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, of those on earth, and those under the earth, ¹¹ And every tongue shall confess that Jesus Christ is the LORD, to the glory of God his Father. ¹² From now on, my beloved, just as you have always been obedient, not only in my presence, but much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.

¹³ I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

²⁶ Even the mystery which has been hidden from ages and from generations, but now is revealed to his saints: ²⁷ To whom God wanted to make known the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ among you, the hope of our glory;

² For you know what commandments we gave you by our LORD Jesus.

⁷ And to you who are oppressed, he shall grant to be at peace with us, when our LORD Jesus Christ shall be revealed from heaven with the host of his angels, ⁸ At which time he will avenge, with flaming fire, those who know not God, and those who do not acknowledge the gospel of our LORD Jesus Christ;

¹³ But we are bound to give thanks always to God for you, my brethren beloved of our LORD, because God has from the beginning chosen you to salvation, through holiness of the Spirit and through a true faith: ¹⁴ And it is to these things that God called you by our preaching, to be the glory of our LORD Jesus Christ.

⁶ Now we command you, my brethren, in the name of our LORD Jesus Christ, to shun every brother who leads an evil life, and not in accord with the commandments which he received from us.

¹⁰ For even when we were with you, we commanded this very thing to you, that whoever is unwilling to work should likewise not eat.

¹⁴ That you obey this charge without spot and without stain, until the appearing of our LORD Jesus Christ:

⁹ Who has saved us, and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own will and his grace, which was given us in Jesus Christ before the world began, ¹⁰ And is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who has abolished death, and has revealed life and immortality through the gospel;

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.

³ How shall we escape, if we neglect the very things which are our salvation and which were first spoken by our LORD, and were proved to us by those who had heard him,

⁸ Thou hast put all things in subjection under his feet. By putting all things under his control, he left nothing that he did not put under subjection to him. But now we do not see yet that all things are in subjection to him. ⁹ We see that he is Jesus who humbled himself to be a little lower than the angels, through his suffering and his death, but now he is crowned with glory and honor; for he tasted death for the sake of every one but God. ¹⁰ And it was meet and proper for him, in whose hand is everything and for whom are all things, to bring many sons to glory, so that from the very beginning of their salvation, they are made perfect through sufferings.

¹ LET us therefore fear, while the prom ise of entering into his rest remains, lest some amongst you find they are prevented from entering.

³ But we who have believed will enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, they shall not enter into my rest; for behold, the works of God were from the very foundation of the world. ⁴ For he said concerning the sabbath, God rested on the seventh day from all his works. ⁵ And here again he said, They shall not enter into my rest. ⁶ There was a chance for some to enter therein, but they to whom the gospel was first preached did not enter, because they would not listen: ⁷ And again, after a long time he appointed another day, as it is written above, for David said, Today if you hear his voice, harden not your hearts. ⁸ For if Joshua the son of Nun had given them rest, he would not afterward have spoken of another day. ⁹ It is therefore the duty of the people of God to keep the Sabbath. ¹⁰ For he who has entered into his rest, he also has ceased from his own works, as God did from his. ¹¹ Let us strive therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall like those who were disobedient.

⁹ And he grew to be perfect, and became the author of life everlasting to all who obey him;

⁴ But this is impossible for those who have once been baptised, and have tasted the gift from heaven, and have received the Holy Spirit, ⁵ And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come, ⁶ For, for them to sin again, and be renewed again by repentance, they crucify the Son of God a second time, and put him to open shame. ⁷ For the earth which drinks in the rain that falls abundantly on it, and brings forth herbs useful to those for whom it is cultivated, receives blessing from God: ⁸ But if it should produce thorns and briers it is rejected and not far from being condemned; and at the end this crop will be used for fuel.

²⁶ For if any man sin willfully after he has received the knowledge of the truth, then there is no more sacrifice to be offered for sins, ²⁷ But he is ready for the fearful judgment and the fiery indignation which shall consume the adversaries. ²⁸ He who transgressed the law of Moses, on the word of two or three witnesses; died without mercy: ²⁹ How much more punishment do you think he will receive who has trodden underfoot the Son of God, and has considered the blood of his covenant, through which he had been sanctified, as ordinary blood and has blasphemed the Spirit of Grace? ³⁰ For we know him who said, Vengeance is mine, and I will repay, saith the LORD. And again, The LORD shall judge his people. ³¹ It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

³⁷ For the time is all too short, and he who is to come will come, and will not delay.

⁴⁰ Because God, from the beginning, provided for our help lest, without us, they should not be made perfect.

⁵ If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all men liberally and with grace; and it shall be given him. ⁶ But let him ask in faith, not doubting. For he who doubts is like the waves of the sea driven by the wind and tossed.

⁵ Hear this, my beloved brethren, Has not God chosen the poor of the world who are rich in faith, to be heirs of the kingdom which God has promised to those who love him?

¹⁰ For which very salvation the prophets searched diligently when they prophesied concerning the grace which was to be given to you.

⁸ And they stumble over it because they are disobedient to the word for which they were appointed.

²¹ For to this purpose you were called: because Christ also died for us, leaving us an example, that we should follow in his footsteps. ²² Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth: ²³ Who, wen he was reviled, he did not revile again: when he suffered he did not threaten, but committed his cause to him who judges righteously:

²² Who is taken up to heaven, and is at the right hand of God; angels and authorities and powers being made subject to him.

⁴ God did not spare the angels, who sinned, but cast them down to hell and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved for tormenting judgment; ⁵ And did not spare the old world, but saved Noah the preacher of righteousness, with his family, eight in all, when he brought the flood upon the wicked people; ⁶ And set afire the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah, and condemned them with an upheaval, making them an example to those who hereafter should live ungodly; ⁷ And delivered righteous Lot, mortified by the filthy conduct of the lawless: ⁸ For while that pious man dwelt among them, in seeing and hearing their unlawful deeds, his righteous soul was vexed from day to day. ⁹ The LORD knows how to deliver from distress those who revere him, and he will reserve the wicked to be punished at the judgment day.

⁹ The LORD knows how to deliver from distress those who revere him, and he will reserve the wicked to be punished at the judgment day.

⁷ But the present heavens and earth are sustained by his word, and are reserved for fire on the day of judgment which is the day of destruction of ungodly men.

⁶ He who says, he abides in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.

²³ Whoever denies the Son, the same does not believe in the Father; but whoever acknowledges the Son, acknowledges the Father also.

¹⁷ Herein is his love made perfect in us, so that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.

³ For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: And his commandments are not difficult.

¹⁹ And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lies in wickedness. ²⁰ And we know that the Son of God has come, and has given us an understanding, that we may know Him who is true, and we are in him who is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.

⁹ Whosoever transgresses, and does not abide in the teaching of Christ, does not have God. He who abides in His doctrine, has both the Father and the Son.

⁷ Even as Sodom and Gomorrah and the neighbouring cities which in like manner gave themselves over to fornication, and followed after other carnal lusts, are condemned to judgment and placed under everlasting fire;

¹¹ Woe unto them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and have perished in the rebellion of Korah.

⁷ He who has ears, let him hear what the Spirit says unto the churches: To him who overcomes, I will give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of my God.

¹¹ He who has ears, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches; He who overcomes shall not be hurt by the second death.

¹⁷ He who has ears, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches; To him who overcomes, I will give to eat of the hidden manna, and I will give him a white stone, and on the stone a new name written, which no man knows except he who receives it.

²¹ And I gave her time to repent, but she did not repent from her fornication.

²⁹ He who has ears, let him hear what the Spirit says unto the churches.

⁶ He who has ears, let him hear what the Spirit says unto the churches.

¹³ He who has ears, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.

²² He who has ears, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.

¹¹ And I saw, and I heard as it were the voice of many angels round about the throne, and the beasts, and the elders: and their number was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands; ¹² Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and might, and honor, and glory, and blessing. ¹³ And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and all that are in the sea, and all that are in them, I heard saying, To him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb be blessing, and honor, and glory, and dominion for ever and ever. ¹⁴ And the four beasts said, Amen. And the four and twenty elders fell down and worshipped him who lives for ever and ever.

¹² Saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honor, and power and might to our God for ever and ever. Amen.

²⁰ And the rest of the men who were not killed by these plagues, neither repented of the works of their hands, that is to say, the worship of devils and idols of gold and silver and brass and stone and of wood, which can neither see nor hear; ²¹ Nor repented of their murders, nor of their witchcraft, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts.

³ Then I will give power to my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand and two hundred and three score days, clothed in sackcloth.

⁸ And their dead bodies shall be upon the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also their LORD was crucified.

⁹ And men were scorched by intense heat, and they blasphemed the name of God, who has power over these plagues: and they did not repent to give him glory.

¹¹ And blasphemed the God of heaven because of their wounds and sores; and did not repent of their deeds.

⁴ And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given to them: and the souls of those who were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and who had not worshipped the wild beast, neither his image, nor had received his mark upon their foreheads or on their hand, lived and reigned with their Christ these thousand years. * But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished.

¹⁷ And the Spirit and the bride say Come. And let him who hears, say Come. And he who is thirsty, let him come. And whosoever will, let him take of the living water freely.
