Tell me. ³¹ And they reasoned among themselves and said, If we should say to him, from heaven, he will say to us, Why then did you not believe him? ³² And if we should say, from men, there is the fear of the people, for all of them regard John as a true prophet.

¹ AFTER two days, the passover of un leavened bread was to come; and the high priests and the scribes were seeking how to seize him by craft and kill him. ² And they said, Not during the feast, for it may cause a riot among the people.

²² While they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and he broke it, and gave it to them, and he said to them, Take it; this is my body. ²³ And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and he blessed it and gave it to them, and they all drank of it.

³¹ But he kept telling him still more, Even if I must die with you, I will never deny you, O my Lord. All the disciples said also, like him.

³⁸ Awake and pray, that you may not enter into temptation; the spirit indeed is willing and ready, but the body is weak.

⁶¹ But Jesus was silent, and made no answer. Again the high priest asked him, and said, Are you the Christ, the Son of the Blessed One?

⁶⁶ And when Simon was below in the courtyard, there came a young maidservant of the high priest; ⁶⁷ And she saw him warming himself, and looked at him, and said to him, You also were with Jesus the Nazarene. ⁶⁸ But he denied it and said, I do not understand what you are saying. Then he went out to the porch, and the cock crowed. ⁶⁹ And the same young maid saw him, and began to say to those who stood by, This one also is one of them. ⁷⁰ But he denied it again. And a little later, those who stood by said to Peter, Truly you are one of them, for you also are a Galilean, and even your speech is like theirs. ⁷¹ And he began to curse and to swear, I do not know this man of whom you speak. ⁷² At that very hour the cock crowed the second time. And Simon remembered the word that Jesus said to him, Before the cock crows twice you will deny me thrice. And then he began to weep. Jesus before Caiaphas.

³⁹ And when the centurion, who stood by near him, saw that he cried out in this manner and passed away, he said, Truly this man was the Son of God.

⁷ But go away and tell his disciples, and Peter, that he will be before you in Galilee; there you will see him, just as he has told you.

¹¹ And the angel of the Lord appeared to Zacharias, standing on the right of the altar of incense. ¹² And when Zacharias saw him he became dumbfounded, and fear came upon him. ¹³ And the angel said to him, Fear not, Zacharias; for your prayer has been heard, and your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you will call his name John.

³⁰ And the angel said to her, Fear not, Mary; for you have found grace with God.

⁵³ He has filled the hungry with good things; and dismissed the rich empty.

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.

¹ IN the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, during the governorship of Pontius Pilate in Judaea, when Herod was tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of Ituraea and of the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanius tetrarch of Abilene,

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.

¹⁹ Now Herod the tetrarch, because he was rebuked by John concerning Herodias wife of Philip his brother, and for all the evil things that he was doing,

¹⁹ Now Herod the tetrarch, because he was rebuked by John concerning Herodias wife of Philip his brother, and for all the evil things that he was doing, ²⁰ Added this also to them all, that he put John into prison.

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.

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.

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

¹⁹ And all the people wanted to touch him; because power proceeded from him, and he healed them all.

¹³ When Jesus saw her, he had compassion on her, and said to her, Weep not.

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.

⁷ Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was done by his hand; and he was amazed, because some men said that John has risen from the dead. ⁸ But others, that Elijah has appeared; and others, that one of the old prophets has risen. ⁹ So Herod said, I have beheaded John; but who is this one concerning whom I hear these things? And he wanted to see him.

⁹ So Herod said, I have beheaded John; but who is this one concerning whom I hear these things? And he wanted to see him. 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. ¹¹ When the people found it out, they went after him; and he received them, and spoke to them concerning the kingdom of God, and he healed those who were in need of healing. ¹² And when the day began to wane, his disciples came up and said to him, Dismiss the people, that they may go to the villages around us and to the farms, to lodge there, and find food for themselves; because we are in a lonely place.

¹² And when the day began to wane, his disciples came up and said to him, Dismiss the people, that they may go to the villages around us and to the farms, to lodge there, and find food for themselves; because we are in a lonely place. ¹³ Jesus said to them, You give them to eat. But they said, We do not have more than five loaves of bread and two fish; unless we go and buy food for all this people;

¹³ Jesus said to them, You give them to eat. But they said, We do not have more than five loaves of bread and two fish; unless we go and buy food for all this people; ¹⁴ For there were about five thousand men. Jesus said to them, Make them sit down in groups, fifty men in each group.

¹⁴ For there were about five thousand men. Jesus said to them, Make them sit down in groups, fifty men in each group. ¹⁵ The disciples did so, and made them all sit down. ¹⁶ And Jesus took the five loaves of bread and the two fish, and looked up to heaven, and he blessed them, and broke and gave them to his disciples, to set before the people.

¹⁶ And Jesus took the five loaves of bread and the two fish, and looked up to heaven, and he blessed them, and broke and gave them to his disciples, to set before the people. ¹⁷ And they all ate and were filled; and they took up fragments of what was left over, twelve baskets.

¹⁷ And they all ate and were filled; and they took up fragments of what was left over, twelve baskets.

²⁸ And it came to pass about eight days after these words, Jesus took Simon, and James and John, and went up into a mountain to pray.

³⁸ If he should come in the second or the third watch and find them so, blessed are those servants.

¹ AT that time, there came some men and told him about the Galileans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices.

³¹ In that very day, some of the men of the Pharisees drew near and said to him, Get out and go away from here; because Herod wants to kill you. ³² Jesus said to them, Go and tell that fox, Behold, I cast out demons, and I heal today and tomorrow, and on the third day I will be through.

³² Jesus said to them, Go and tell that fox, Behold, I cast out demons, and I heal today and tomorrow, and on the third day I will be through.

⁶ He said to them, If you have faith, even as a grain of mustard seed, you could say to this mulberry tree, Be uprooted and planted in the sea; it would obey you.

⁴¹ And when he drew near and saw the city, he wept over it;

⁶ And if we should say from men, all the people will stone us; for they regard John as a prophet.

¹⁹ And he took bread and gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them and said, This is my body, which is given for your sake; this do in remembrance of me.

³¹ And Jesus said to Simon, Simon, behold Satan wants to sift all of you as wheat;

³¹ And Jesus said to Simon, Simon, behold Satan wants to sift all of you as wheat; ³² But I have made supplication for you that your faith may not weaken; and even you in time will repent, and strengthen your brethren.

³² But I have made supplication for you that your faith may not weaken; and even you in time will repent, and strengthen your brethren. ³³ Simon said to him, My Lord, I am ready with you, even for the prison and for death. ³⁴ Jesus said to him, I say to you, Simon, the cock will not crow today, until you have denied three times that you know me.

⁴⁹ When those who were with him saw what happened, they said to him, Our Lord, shall we smite them with swords? ⁵⁰ And one of them struck the servant of the high priest, and cut off his right ear.

⁵⁴ And they arrested him, and brought him to the house of the high priest. And Simon followed him afar off. ⁵⁵ And they kindled a fire in the midst of the courtyard, and they sat around it; and Simon also sat among them. ⁵⁶ And a young woman saw him sitting by the fire, and she looked at him and said, This man also was with him. ⁵⁷ But he denied, and said, Woman, I do not know him. ⁵⁸ And after a little while, another saw him, and said to him, You also are one of them. But Peter said, I am not. ⁵⁹ And after an hour, another one argued and said, Truly, this man also was with him; for he is also a Galilean. ⁶⁰ Peter said, Man, I do not know what you are saying. And immediately while he was still speaking, the cock crew. ⁶¹ And Jesus turned and looked at Peter. And Simon remembered the word of our Lord, that he said to him, Before the cock crows you will deny me three times.

⁷ And when he knew that he was under the jurisdiction of Herod, he sent him to Herod, because he was in Jerusalem in those days. ⁸ When Herod saw Jesus he was exceedingly glad, for he had wanted to see him for a long time, because he had heard many things concerning him; and he hoped to see some miracle by him. ⁹ And he asked him many words; but Jesus gave him no answer. ¹⁰ But the high priests and the scribes stood, and accused him bitterly. ¹¹ And Herod and his soldiers insulted him, and mocked him, and dressed him in a scarlet robe, and sent him to Pilate. ¹² And that day Pilate and Herod became friends with each other; for there was a longstanding enmity between them.

¹⁵ Not even has Herod; for I sent him to him; and behold, he has done nothing worthy of death.

⁵ And they were afraid, and bowed their faces to the ground; and they said to them, Why do you seek the living among the dead?

³⁰ And it came to pass, as he sat at meat with them, he took bread and blessed it, and broke it, and gave it to them.

³⁴ Saying, Truly our Lord has risen, and he has appeared to Simon.

³⁷ And they were confused and frightened, for they thought they saw a spirit. The walk to Emmaus. ³⁸ Jesus said to them, Why do you tremble? and why do thoughts arise in your hearts? ³⁹ Look at my hands and my feet, that it is I; feel me and understand; for a spirit has no flesh and bones, as you see I have.

⁴⁵ Then he opened their mind to understand the scriptures.

⁵² And they worshipped him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy;

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

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.

¹ AFTER these things, Jesus went to the port of the sea of Galilee, at Tiberias. ² And a great many people followed him, because they saw the miracles which he performed on sick people. ³ So Jesus went up to the mountain, and he sat there with his disciples. ⁴ And the feast of the passover of the Jews was at hand. ⁵ And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and saw a large crowd coming to him, and he said to Philip, Where can we buy bread that all these may eat?

⁵ And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and saw a large crowd coming to him, and he said to Philip, Where can we buy bread that all these may eat? ⁶ He said this merely to test him; for he knew what he would do.

⁶ He said this merely to test him; for he knew what he would do. ⁷ Philip said to him, Two hundred pennies worth of bread would not be sufficient for them, even if each one should take a little.

⁷ Philip said to him, Two hundred pennies worth of bread would not be sufficient for them, even if each one should take a little.

⁷ Philip said to him, Two hundred pennies worth of bread would not be sufficient for them, even if each one should take a little. ⁸ One of his disciples, Andrew the brother of Simon Peter, said to him,

⁸ One of his disciples, Andrew the brother of Simon Peter, said to him, ⁹ There is a boy here, who has with him five barley loaves and two fishes; but what are these for all of them?

⁹ There is a boy here, who has with him five barley loaves and two fishes; but what are these for all of them? ¹⁰ Jesus said to them, Make all the men sit down. There was much grass in that place. So the males * sat down, five thousand in number.

¹⁰ Jesus said to them, Make all the men sit down. There was much grass in that place. So the males * sat down, five thousand in number.

¹⁰ Jesus said to them, Make all the men sit down. There was much grass in that place. So the males * sat down, five thousand in number. ¹¹ And Jesus took the bread, and blessed it, and distributed it to those who were sitting down; likewise the fish also, as much as they wanted.

¹¹ And Jesus took the bread, and blessed it, and distributed it to those who were sitting down; likewise the fish also, as much as they wanted.

¹¹ And Jesus took the bread, and blessed it, and distributed it to those who were sitting down; likewise the fish also, as much as they wanted. ¹² When they were filled, he said to his disciples, Gather up the broken pieces which are left over, so that nothing is lost.

¹² When they were filled, he said to his disciples, Gather up the broken pieces which are left over, so that nothing is lost. ¹³ And they gathered them up, and filled twelve baskets with broken pieces, which were left over by those who ate from five barley loaves.

¹³ And they gathered them up, and filled twelve baskets with broken pieces, which were left over by those who ate from five barley loaves. ¹⁴ Then the men who saw the miracle which Jesus performed said, Truly this is the prophet who is to come into the world.

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

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.

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. ¹⁶ And when evening came, his disciples went down to the sea,

¹⁶ And when evening came, his disciples went down to the sea, ¹⁷ And entered into a boat, and were going to the port of Capernaum. And now it was dark, and Jesus had not yet come to them.

¹⁷ And entered into a boat, and were going to the port of Capernaum. And now it was dark, and Jesus had not yet come to them. ¹⁸ And the sea became rough, because a strong wind was blowing.

¹⁸ And the sea became rough, because a strong wind was blowing. ¹⁹ And they rowed about twenty-five or thirty furlongs, and they saw Jesus walking on # the sea; and as he drew towards their boat, they became afraid.

¹⁹ And they rowed about twenty-five or thirty furlongs, and they saw Jesus walking on # the sea; and as he drew towards their boat, they became afraid. ²⁰ But Jesus said to them, It is I, do not be afraid.

²⁰ But Jesus said to them, It is I, do not be afraid. ²¹ So they wanted to receive him into the boat; but soon the boat reached the land to which they were going.

²¹ So they wanted to receive him into the boat; but soon the boat reached the land to which they were going.

²³ But other boats had come from Tiberias, near the place where they had eaten bread, when Jesus blessed it. ²⁴ And when the people saw that Jesus was not there, nor his disciples, they entered the boats and came to Capernaum, looking for Jesus. ²⁵ And when they found him at the seaport, they said to him, Teacher, when did you come here?

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

⁶⁸ Simon Peter answered and said, My Lord, to whom shall we go? you have the words of eternal life. ⁶⁹ And we have believed and known that you are the Christ, the Son of the living God.

²³ So if a man is circumcised on the sabbath day, that the law of Moses may not be broken; yet you murmur at me, because I healed a whole man * on the sabbath day?

³⁵ And Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and he found him and said to him, Do you believe in the Son of God? ³⁶ He who was healed answered and said, Who is he, my Lord, so that I may believe in him? ³⁷ Jesus said to him, You have seen him, and he is the one who is speaking with you. ³⁸ He said, I do believe, my Lord; and he fell down and worshipped him.

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.

³³ When Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews weeping, who had come with her, he was moved in his spirit, and was greatly disturbed. ³⁴ And he said, Where have you laid him? They said to him, Our Lord, come and see. ³⁵ And Jesus was in tears.

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,

²⁹ For some of them thought, because the purse was with Judas, that he ordered him to buy what was needed for the feast; or to give something to the poor.

³⁶ Simon Peter said to him, Our Lord, where are you going? Jesus answered and said to him, Where I go, you cannot follow me now, but you will follow later. ³⁷ Simon Peter said to him, My Lord, why can I not follow you now? I will even lay down my life for you. ³⁸ Jesus said to him, Will you lay down your life for me? Truly, truly, I say to you, The cock shall not crow, until you have denied me three times.

¹ LET not your heart be troubled; believe in God, and believe in me also. ² In my FatherÆs house there are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going to prepare a place for you. ³ And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and take you to me, so that where I am, you may be also.

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.

¹ JESUS spoke these things, and then he lifted up his eyes to heaven and said, O my Father, the hour has come; glorify your Son, so that your Son may glorify you.

²⁵ Now Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. They said to him, Why, are you also one of his disciples? He denied and said, I am not. ²⁶ Then one of the servants of the high priest, a kinsman of him whose ear Simon had cut off, Did I not see you with him in the garden? ²⁷ Simon again denied; and at that very hour the cock crew.

⁷ The Jews said to him, We have a law, and according to our law he is guilty of death, because he made himself the Son of God.

¹² And because of this, Pilate wanted to release him; but the Jews cried out, If you release this man you are not a friend of Caesar; for whoever makes himself a king is against Caesar. ¹³ When Pilate heard this word, he brought Jesus outside; then he sat down on the judgment seat, at a place which is called the Stone Pavement but in Hebrew it is called, Gabbatha. ¹⁴ It was Friday of the passover, and it was about six oÆclock; and he said to the Jews, Behold your king! ¹⁵ But they cried out, Take him away, take him away, crucify him, crucify him. Pilate said to them, Shall I crucify your king? The high priests said to him, We have no king except Caesar. ¹⁶ Then he delivered him to them to crucify him. So they took hold of Jesus and took him out,

¹⁶ Faith in his name has healed this man whom you see and know and made him strong; it is the faith in him which has granted this healing before you all.

⁴ Howbeit many of them who heard the word believed; and the number of the men was about five thousand.

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.

¹⁴ And because they saw the lame man who was healed standing with them they could say nothing against them. ¹⁵ But when they had commanded them to be taken aside out of the council, they conferred among themselves, ¹⁶ Saying, What shall we do to these men? for behold a miracle has openly been performed by them and it is known to all that dwell in Jerusalem; and we cannot deny it.

²¹ So when they had further threatened them, they let them go; for they found no cause to punish them because of the people: for all men praised God for that which was done.

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,

³⁰ Just as your hand is freely stretched out for healings, and wonders and the miracles which are done in the name of your holy Son Jesus.

³⁴ There was not a man among them who was destitute; for those who possessed fields and houses sold them and brought the money for the things that were sold,

²⁶ Then the leaders went with the soldiers to bring them, not by force, for they were afraid that the people might stone them.

⁴ And we will give ourselves continually to prayer and to the ministry of the word.

² And devout men picked up Stephen and buried him, and they mourned over him in great sorrow.

³⁶ And as they went on their way, they came to a place where there was water; and the eunuch said, Behold here is water; what prevents me from being baptized?

¹ NOW at that very time Herod the king surnamed A-gripÆpa seized some of the people of the church to oppress them.

¹⁵ They said to her, You are confused. But she argued that it was so. Then said they, Perhaps it is his angel.

¹¹ And God wrought great miracles by the hands of Paul: ¹² So that even when, of the clothes on his body, pieces of garments were brought and laid upon the sick, diseases were cured, and even the insane were restored.

¹¹ During the night, our LORD appeared to Paul and said, Be strong, for as you have testified concerning me at Jerusalem, so also you are to testify at Rome.

²³ And he commanded a centurion to keep Paul in comfort, and that none of his acquaintances should be prevented from ministering to him. ²⁴ And after a few days, FeÆlix with his wife Dru-silÆla, who was a Jewess, sent for Paul, and heard him concerning the faith of Christ.

²⁴ And after a few days, FeÆlix with his wife Dru-silÆla, who was a Jewess, sent for Paul, and heard him concerning the faith of Christ. ²⁵ And as he spoke with them concerning righteousness, holiness, and the judgment to come, FeÆlix was filled with fear, and said, You may go, and when I have opportunity I will send for you.

²⁵ And as he spoke with them concerning righteousness, holiness, and the judgment to come, FeÆlix was filled with fear, and said, You may go, and when I have opportunity I will send for you. ²⁶ Since he was expecting a bribe from Paul, he often sent for him to be brought and conversed with him. ²⁷ And when he had completed two years, another governor succeeded him whose name was PorÆci-us FesÆtus: and FeÆlix, to do the Jews a favor, left Paul a prisoner.

³ They besought him as a favor to send for him and bring him to Jerusalem, for they were plotting to kill him on the way. ⁴ But FesÆtus answered that Paul should be kept at Cµs-a-reÆa, and that he himself was shortly going there. ⁵ Therefore, said he, let those who are able among you come down with us and accuse the man about any offense which can be found against him. ⁶ And when he had tarried there eight or ten days, he went down to Cµs-a-reÆa, and the next day he sat on the judgment seat and commanded Paul to be brought. ⁷ And when he was come, the Jews who had come from Jerusalem surrounded him, and brought against him many serious charges which they could not prove. ⁸ Then Paul answered, I have committed no offense against the Jewish law, or against the temple, or against Cµsar. ⁹ But Festus, because he was willing to do the Jews a favor, said to Paul, Would you be willing to go to Jerusalem and there be tried of these things before me?

³⁵ And when he had thus spoken, he took bread, and gave thanks to God in the presence of them all; and when he had broken it, they began to eat.

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,

¹⁸ For he who was hopeless trusted in hope, that he might become the father of many peoples, as it is written, So shall your seed be. ¹⁹ His faith never weakened even when he examined his old body when he was a hundred years old, and the deadness of SarahÆs womb.

¹⁹ His faith never weakened even when he examined his old body when he was a hundred years old, and the deadness of SarahÆs womb. ²⁰ He did not doubt the promise of God as one who lacks faith; but his faith gave him strength, and he gave glory to God.

³ For I say, through the grace which is given to me, to all of you, not to think of yourselves beyond what you ought to think; but to think soberly, every man according to the measure of faith which God has distributed to him.

⁶ He who is mindful concerning a dayÆs duty is considerate of his master; and every one who is not mindful concerning a dayÆs duty, is inconsiderate of his master. And he who is wasteful, is detrimental to his master even though he confesses it to God; and he who is not wasteful, is not wasteful to his master, yet he likewise tells it to God.

¹⁶ The cup of thanksgiving which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ?

³¹ Whether therefore you eat or drink, or whatsoever you do, do all to the glory of God.

²⁴ And when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, Take, eat; this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me.

² How that in a great trial of affliction, the abundance of their joy and their deep rooted poverty abounded unto the riches of their liberality. ³ For to their power, I can testify, yes, and beyond their power they have shared of their own accord.

⁷ So let every man give according to what he has decided in his mind, not grudgingly or of necessity: for God loves a cheerful giver. ⁸ God is able to make all goodness abound to you, and may you always have enough of everything for yourselves, and may you abound in every good work:

⁸ God is able to make all goodness abound to you, and may you always have enough of everything for yourselves, and may you abound in every good work: ⁹ As it is written, He has distributed liberally; and given to the poor; and his righteousness endures for ever. ¹⁰ Now he who gives seed to the sower, and bread for food, will supply and multiply your seed, and cause the fruits of your righteousness to grow; ¹¹ That you may be enriched in everything, in all liberality, for such generosity enables us to perfect thanksgiving to God.

⁷ And lest I should be exalted through the abundance of the revelations, there was delivered to me a thorn in my flesh, the angel of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted. ⁸ Three times I besought my LORD concerning this thing, that it might depart from me. 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.

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

¹⁹ But my God will supply all your needs according to his riches in the glory of Jesus Christ.

¹⁷ And whatever you do in word or deed, do it in the name of our LORD Jesus Christ, giving thanks through him to God the Father.

⁸ I wish, therefore, that men pray everywhere, lifting up their holy hands, without anger and doubting thoughts.

⁴ For all things created by God are good, nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving, ⁵ For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.

¹⁶ When I first wrote you, there was no one with me, for all had forsaken me: Do not hold this against them. ¹⁷ Nevertheless, my LORD stood by me and strengthened me, that by me the preaching might be fulfilled, and that all the Gentiles might hear: and I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion.

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.

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.

² He is one who can humble himself and have compassion on those who are ignorant and go astray: for he himself also is subject to weaknesses.

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. ⁷ Thus let not that man expect that he will receive anything of the LORD. ⁸ A double-minded man is unstable in all his ways.

⁵ While you are kept by the power of God through faith, for the life eternal which is ready to be revealed at the last time.

¹⁷ And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying, Fear not; I am the first and the last:

¹⁷ And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying, Fear not; I am the first and the last: ¹⁸ I am he who lives, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore. Amen; and have the keys of death and of hell.

² And he had in his hand a little book open: and he set his right foot upon the sea, and his left foot on the land,

⁵ And the angel which I saw standing upon the sea and on the land raised his right hand to heaven, and

⁸ And the same voice which I had heard from heaven, spoke to me again, saying, Go and take the little book which is open in the hand of the angel which stands on the sea and on the land.

⁷ And when they have finished their testimony, the wild beast which ascends out of the bottomless pit, shall make war against them and shall overcome them.

⁶ For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets, and you have given them blood to drink; for they are worthy.

⁶ And I saw that the woman was drunk with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great amazement.
