⁷ And there was one Barabbas, that had been imprisoned with his seditious associates, who in their sedition had committed murder. ⁸ And, with clamor, the multitude demanded of Pilate, what he used to grant them. ⁹ He answered them, saying, Shall I release to you the king of the Jews? ¹⁰ (For he knew that through envy, the chief priests had delivered him up.) ¹¹ But the chief priests incited the multitude to insist on the release of Barabbas, in preference to Jesus. ¹² Pilate again interposed, saying, What then would you have me do with him whom you call king of the Jews? ¹³ They cried, Crucify him. ¹⁴ Pilate asked them, Why? What evil has he done? But they cried the more vehemently, Crucify him.

¹⁴ Pilate asked them, Why? What evil has he done? But they cried the more vehemently, Crucify him. ¹⁵ Then Pilate, desirous to gratify the crowd, released Barabbas to them; and having caused Jesus to be scourged, delivered him up to be crucified. ¹⁶ And the soldiers brought him into the hall called praetorium, where, having convened all the band,

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

¹⁵ and he taught in their synagogues with universal applause.

⁵⁴ His disciples, James and John, observing this, said, Master, shall we call down fire from heaven to consume them, as Elijah did? ⁵⁵ But he turned and rebuked them, saying, Do you not know of what spirit you are? ⁵⁶ And they went to another village.

²⁰ Being questioned by the Pharisees, when the Reign of God should commence, he answered, The Reign of God is not ushered in with parade; ²¹ nor shall people say, Lo, here! or Lo, yonder! for behold, the Reign of God is within you.

³¹ Then Jesus, taking the twelve aside, said to them, We are now going to Jerusalem, where that all the prophets have written, shall be accomplished on the Son of Man. ³² For he shall be delivered to the Gentiles, and ridicules, and insulted, and spitted on. ³³ And after scourging, they will kill him; and he shall rise again the third day.

³⁸ saying, Blessed be the King who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven, and glory in the highest heaven! ³⁹ Upon this, some Pharisees in the crowd said to him, Rabbi, rebuke your disciples. ⁴⁰ He answered, I tell you, that if these were silent, the stones would cry out.

⁴⁵ Afterward he went into the temple, and drove out thence those who sold, and those who bought in it, ⁴⁶ saying to them, It is written, "My house is a house of prayer, but you have made it a den of robbers." ⁴⁷ And he taught daily in the temple, while the chief priests and the scribes, and persons of principal note, sought his destruction;

¹ One of those days, as he was teaching the people in the temple, and publishing the good tidings, the chief priests, and the scribes, with the elders, came upon him, ² saying, Tell us by what authority you do these things; or who is he that empowered you? ³ He answering, said to them, I also have a question to put to you. Tell me, then, ⁴ Was the commission which John had to immerse, from heaven, or from men? ⁵ But they reasoned thus among themselves, If we say, From heaven, he will reply, Why, then, did you not believe him? ⁶ And if we say, From men, all the people will stone us; for they are persuaded that John was a prophet. ⁷ They therefore answered, that they could not tell whence. ⁸ Jesus replied, Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.

¹⁹ At that time, the chief priests and the scribes, knowing that he had spoken this parable against them, would have laid hands on him, but feared the people. ²⁰ And they watched him, and set spies upon him, instructing them to personate conscientious men, and surprise him in his words, that they might deliver him to the power and authority of the procurator.

²⁰ And they watched him, and set spies upon him, instructing them to personate conscientious men, and surprise him in his words, that they might deliver him to the power and authority of the procurator. ²¹ These accosted him with this question, Rabbi, we know that you speak and teach uprightly, and that, without respect of persons, you faithfully recommend the way of God. ²² Is it lawful for us to pay taxes to Cesar, or not? ²³ He perceiving their subtlety, answered, ²⁴ Why would you entangle me? Show me a denarius. Whose image and inscription has it? They answered, Cesar's. ²⁵ He replied, Render, therefore, to Cesar, that which is Cesar's, and to God, that which is God's. ²⁶ Thus they could not surprise him in his discourses before the people; wherefore, admiring his answer, they kept silence.

³⁷ Thus Jesus taught in the temple by day, but retired at night to the mountain, called the Mount of Olives.

³³ He answered, Master, I am ready to accompany you, both to prison, and to death. ³⁴ Jesus replied, I tell you, Peter, the cock shall not crow today, before you have thrice denied that you know me.

³⁹ Then he went out, and repaired, as he was wont, to the Mount of Olives, and his disciples followed him.

³⁹ Then he went out, and repaired, as he was wont, to the Mount of Olives, and his disciples followed him. ⁴⁰ Being arrived there, he said to them, Pray that you may not yield to temptation.

⁴² saying, Father, if thou wilt, take this cup away from me; nevertheless, not my will, but thine be done.

⁴⁴ And being in an agony of grief, he prayed the more fervently, and his sweat fell like clotted blood to the ground.

⁴⁷ Before he had done speaking, he saw a multitude; and he who was called Judas, one of the twelve, walked before them, and came up to Jesus, to kiss him. ⁴⁸ Jesus said to him, Judas, do you betray the Son of Man with a kiss? ⁴⁹ Now, those who were with him, foreseeing what would happen, said to him, Master, shall we strike with the sword?

⁴⁹ Now, those who were with him, foreseeing what would happen, said to him, Master, shall we strike with the sword? ⁵⁰ And one of them struck the servant of the high priest, and cut off his right ear.

⁵⁰ And one of them struck the servant of the high priest, and cut off his right ear. ⁵¹ Jesus said, Let this suffice; and touching his ear, he healed him.

⁵¹ Jesus said, Let this suffice; and touching his ear, he healed him. ⁵² Then Jesus said to the chief priests, and the officers of the temple-guard, and the elders, who were come to apprehend him, Do you come with swords and clubs, as in pursuit of a robber? ⁵³ While I was daily with you in the temple, you did not attempt to arrest me. But this is your hour, and the power of darkness. ⁵⁴ Then they seized him, and led him away to the high priest's house. And Peter followed at a distance. ⁵⁵ When they had kindled a fire in the middle of the court, and were sitting round it, Peter sat down among them.

⁵⁵ When they had kindled a fire in the middle of the court, and were sitting round it, Peter sat down among them. ⁵⁶ And a maid servant, having observed him sitting by the fire, and viewed him attentively, said, This man also was with him.

⁵⁶ And a maid servant, having observed him sitting by the fire, and viewed him attentively, said, This man also was with him.

⁵⁶ And a maid servant, having observed him sitting by the fire, and viewed him attentively, said, This man also was with him. ⁵⁷ But he disowned him, saying, Woman, I know him not. ⁵⁸ A little while after, another seeing him, said, You, also, are one of them. Peter answered, Man, I am not. ⁵⁹ About an hour after, another averred the same thing, saying, This man was surely with him, for he is a Galilean.

⁵⁹ About an hour after, another averred the same thing, saying, This man was surely with him, for he is a Galilean. ⁶⁰ Peter answered, Man, I know nothing of this matter. And just as he spoke the word, a cock crew.

⁶⁰ Peter answered, Man, I know nothing of this matter. And just as he spoke the word, a cock crew. ⁶¹ Then the Lord, turning, looked upon Peter, and Peter called to mind the word which the Lord had said to him, Before the cock crow, you will disown me thrice. ⁶² And he went out and wept bitterly. ⁶³ Meantime, they who had Jesus in charge, mocked and beat him;

⁶³ Meantime, they who had Jesus in charge, mocked and beat him; ⁶⁴ and having blindfolded him, struck him on the face, and asked him, saying, Divine who it is that smote you.

⁶⁴ and having blindfolded him, struck him on the face, and asked him, saying, Divine who it is that smote you. ⁶⁵ And many other abusive things they said against him. ⁶⁶ As soon as it was day, the national senate, with the chief priests and scribes, were assembled, and having caused him to be brought into their council-chamber, said to him,

⁶⁶ As soon as it was day, the national senate, with the chief priests and scribes, were assembled, and having caused him to be brought into their council-chamber, said to him, ⁶⁷ If you be the Messiah, tell us. He answered, If I tell you, you will not believe:

⁶⁷ If you be the Messiah, tell us. He answered, If I tell you, you will not believe: ⁶⁸ and if put a question, you will neither answer me, nor acquit me. ⁶⁹ Hereafter the Son of Man shall be seated at the right hand of Almighty God. ⁷⁰ They all replied, You are, then, the Son of God? He answered, You say the truth.

⁷⁰ They all replied, You are, then, the Son of God? He answered, You say the truth. ⁷¹ Then they cried, What further need have we of evidence? We have heard enough ourselves, from his own mouth.

¹ And the assembly broke up, and conducted Jesus to Pilate: ² and they accused him, saying, We found this man perverting the nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Cesar, calling himself Messiah the King.

² and they accused him, saying, We found this man perverting the nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Cesar, calling himself Messiah the King. ³ Then Pilate, asking him, said, You are the King of the Jews? He answered, You say right.

³ Then Pilate, asking him, said, You are the King of the Jews? He answered, You say right.

³ Then Pilate, asking him, said, You are the King of the Jews? He answered, You say right.

³ Then Pilate, asking him, said, You are the King of the Jews? He answered, You say right. ⁴ Pilate said to the chief priests and the multitude, I find nothing criminal in this man.

⁴ Pilate said to the chief priests and the multitude, I find nothing criminal in this man.

⁴ Pilate said to the chief priests and the multitude, I find nothing criminal in this man. ⁵ But they became more vehement, adding, He raised sedition among the people, by the doctrine which he spread through all Judea, from Galilee, where he began, to this place.

¹⁴ said to them, You have brought this man before me, as one who excites the people to revolt; yet, having examined him in your presence, I have not found him guilt of any of those crimes of which you accuse him. ¹⁵ Neither has Herod; for I referred you to him. Be assured, then, that he has done nothing to deserve death. ¹⁶ I will therefore chastise him, and release him.

¹⁶ I will therefore chastise him, and release him. ¹⁷ For it was necessary that he should release one to them at the festival. ¹⁸ Then all cried out together, Away with this man, and release to us Barabbas.

¹⁸ Then all cried out together, Away with this man, and release to us Barabbas. ¹⁹ Now Barabbas had been imprisoned for raising sedition in the city, and for murder.

¹⁹ Now Barabbas had been imprisoned for raising sedition in the city, and for murder. ²⁰ Pilate, willing to release Jesus, again, expostulated. ²¹ But they cried, saying, Crucify! crucify him! ²² A third time he repeated, Why? What evil has this man done? I do not find him guilty of any capital crime; I will therefore chastise him, and release him. ²³ But they persisted, demanding, with much clamor, that he might be crucified. At last, their clamors, and those of the chief priests, prevailed:

²⁵ Accordingly, he released a man who had been imprisoned for sedition and murder; whom they required; and gave up Jesus to their will.

⁶ He is not here, but is risen; remember how he spoke to you, before he left Galilee, ⁷ saying, The Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinners, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.

⁷ saying, The Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinners, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.

⁷ saying, The Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinners, and be crucified, and the third day rise again. ⁸ Then they remembered his words.

⁴⁴ And he said to them, This is what I told you while I remained with you, that all the things which are written of me in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the Psalms, must be accomplished.

⁴⁶ Nathanael says to him, Can any good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip answered, Come and see.

⁴⁹ Nathanael replying, said to him, Rabbi, you are the Son of God; you are the King of Israel.

¹⁴ As Moses placed on high the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man be placed on high;

³² What he testifies, is what he has seen and heard; yet his testimony is not received.

¹⁵ Then Jesus, knowing that they intended to come and carry him off, to make him king, withdrew again, alone, to the mountain.

⁶⁴ But there are some of you who do not believe. (For Jesus knew from the beginning, who they were that did not believe, and who he was that would betray him.)

⁴ For whoever courts renown, does nothing in secret: since you perform such things, show yourself to the world.

¹⁴ About the middle of the festival, Jesus went into the temple, and was teaching.

¹⁷ If any one will do his will, he shall discern whether my doctrine proceeds from God, or from myself.

²⁶ Lo! he speaks boldly, and they say nothing to him. Do the rulers, indeed, acknowledge that this is the Messiah?

²⁸ Jesus, who was then teaching in the temple, cried, Do you know both who, and whence I am? I came not of myself. But he is true, who sent me, whom you know not.

² Early in the morning he returned to the temple, and all the people having come to him, he sat down and taught them.

¹⁴ Jesus answered, Though I testify concerning myself, my testimony ought to be regarded; because I know whence I came, and whither I go. As for you, you know not whence I came, and whither I go. ¹⁵ You judge from passion; I judge no person:

²⁶ I have many things to say of you, and to reprove in you: but he who sent me is worthy of belief; and I do but publish to the world what I have learned from him.

²⁸ Jesus, therefore, said to them, When you shall have raised the Son of Man on high, then you shall know what I am; and that I do nothing of myself, and say nothing which the Father has not taught me.

⁴⁷ He who is of God, regards God's words. You regard them not, because you are not of God.

¹⁷ For this the Father loves me, because I give my life, to be afterward resumed. ¹⁸ No one forces it from me: but I give it of myself. I have power to give it, and I have power to resume it. This commandment I have received from my Father.

²³ it being in winter; as Jesus walked in the temple, in Solomon's portico, ²⁴ the Jews surrounding him, said to him, How long will you keep us in suspense? If you be the Messiah, tell us plainly. ²⁵ Jesus answered, I told you; but you believed not. The works which I do in my Father's name, testify of me. ²⁶ But you believe not, for you are not of my sheep.

²⁶ But you believe not, for you are not of my sheep. ²⁷ My sheep, as I told you, obey my voice; I know them, and they follow me.

²⁷ My sheep, as I told you, obey my voice; I know them, and they follow me. ²⁸ Besides, I give them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any one wrest them out of my hands.

²⁸ Besides, I give them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any one wrest them out of my hands. ²⁹ My Father, who gave them me, is greater than all; and none can wrest them out of my Father's hand. ³⁰ I and the Father are one. ³¹ Then the Jews again took up stones to stone him.

³¹ Then the Jews again took up stones to stone him. ³² Jesus said to them, Many good works I have shown you from my Father; for which of these works do you stone me? ³³ The Jews answered, For a good work we do not stone you, but for blasphemy; because you, being a man, make yourself God.

³³ The Jews answered, For a good work we do not stone you, but for blasphemy; because you, being a man, make yourself God. ³⁴ Jesus replied, Is it not written in your law, "I said, You are gods?" ³⁵ If the law styled them gods, to whom the word of God was addressed, and if the language of scripture in unexceptionable; ³⁶ do you charge him with blasphemy whom the Father has consecrated his Apostle to the world, for calling himself his Son? ³⁷ If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not. ³⁸ But if I do, though you believe not me, believe the works, that you may know and believe, that the Father is in me, and I am in him. ³⁹ They then attempted again to seize him; but he escaped out of their hands,

⁴¹ Then they removed the stone. And Jesus, lifting up his eyes, said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me. ⁴² As for me, I know that thou hearest me always; but I speak, for the people's sake who surround me, that they may believe that thou hast sent me.

⁴⁹ One of them, named Caiaphas, who was high priest that year, said to them, You are utterly at a loss, ⁵⁰ and do not consider, that it is better for us that one man die for the people, than that the whole nation should be ruined. ⁵¹ This he spoke, not of himself; but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for the nation;

⁵¹ This he spoke, not of himself; but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for the nation; ⁵² and not for that nation only, but that he should assemble into one body the dispersed children of God.

⁵⁵ Meantime, the Jewish passover approached, and many went to Jerusalem from the country, before the passover, to purify themselves.

¹³ took branches of palm trees, and went out to meet him, crying, Hosanna! blessed be Israel's King, who comes in the name of the Lord.

¹⁵ "Fear not, daughter of Zion; behold your King comes, sitting on an ass's colt."

²⁷ Now is my soul troubled, and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour? But I came on purpose for this hour. ²⁸ Father, glorify thy name. Then came a voice out of heaven, which said, I have both glorified, and will again glorify it.

³² As for me, when I shall be lifted up from the earth, I will draw all men to myself. ³³ This he said, alluding to the death which he was to suffer.

¹ Jesus having perceived, before the feast of the passover, that his time to remove out of this world to his Father, was come; and having loved his own, who were in the world, he loved them to the last. ² Now while they were at the supper, (the devil having already put it into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray him,)

¹¹ You are clean, but not all. For he knew who would betray him; therefore he said, You are not all clean.

²⁷ After receiving the morsel, Satan entered into him. And Jesus said to him, What you do, do quickly. ²⁸ But none at the table knew, why he gave this order. ²⁹ Some imagined, because Judas had the purse, that Jesus had signified to him to buy necessaries for the festival; or, to give something to the poor. ³⁰ When Judas had taken the morsel, he immediately went out: and it was night. ³¹ When he was gone, Jesus said, the Son of Man is now glorified, and God is glorified by him. ³² If God is glorified by him, God also will glorify him by himself, and that without delay. ³³ My children, I have now but a little time to be with you. You will seek me, and what I said to the Jews, Whither I go, you can not come; I say at present to you. ³⁴ A new commandment I give you, that you love one another; that as I have loved you, you also love one another. ³⁵ By this shall all men know, that you are my disciples, if you have love one to another. ³⁶ Simon Peter said to him, Master, whither are you going? Jesus answered, Whither I am going, you can not follow me now; but afterward you shall follow me.

³⁸ Jesus answered him, Will you lay down your life for my sake? Most assuredly, I say to you, the cock shall not crow, till you have disowned me thrice.

¹ Let not your heart be troubled; believe on God, and believe on me. ² In my Father's house are many mansions. Were it otherwise, I would have told you. ³ I go to prepare a place for you: and after I shall have gone, and prepared a place for you; I will return and take you with me, that where I am, there you may be also. ⁴ And whither I am going, you know, and the way you know. ⁵ Thomas said to him, Master, we know not whither you are going. How, then, can we know the way? ⁶ Jesus answered, I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no man comes to the Father, but by me.

⁶ Jesus answered, I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no man comes to the Father, but by me. ⁷ Had you known me, you would have known my Father also; and henceforth you know him, and have seen him. ⁸ Philip said to him, Master, show us the Father, and it will satisfy us. ⁹ Jesus replied, Have I been with you so long, and do you not yet know me, Philip? He that has seen me, has seen the Father. How do you say, then, Show us the Father? ¹⁰ Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? The words which I speak to you proceed not form myself: as to the works, it is the Father dwelling in me who does them. ¹¹ Believe me, that I am in the Father, and the Father in me; if not on my testimony, be convinced by the works themselves. ¹² Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes on me, shall himself do such works as I do; nay, even greater than these shall he do; because I go to my Father, ¹³ and will do whatsoever you shall ask in my name. That the Father may be glorified in the Son, ¹⁴ whatsoever you shall ask in my name, I will do. ¹⁵ If you love me, keep my commandments; ¹⁶ and I will entreat the Father, and he will give you another Advocate, to continue with you forever; ¹⁷ even the Spirit of Truth, whom the world can not receive, because it neither sees him, nor knows him; but you shall know him, because he will abide with you, and be in you.

³¹ but this must be that the world may know that I love the Father, and do whatsoever he commands me. Arise, let us go hence.

¹⁰ If you keep my commandments, you shall continue in my love; as I have kept my Father's commandments, and continue in his love.

³² Behold, the time comes, or rather is come, when you shall disperse, every one to his own, and shall leave me alone; yet I am not alone, because the Father is with me.

¹² While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name; those whom thou hast given me, I have preserved. None of them in lost, except the son of perdition, as the scripture foretold.

²¹ then the chief priests said to Pilate, Write not the King of the Jews; but, Who calls himself King of the Jews. ²² Pilate answered, What I have written I have written.

²⁸ After this, Jesus, (knowing that all was now accomplished,) that the scripture might be fulfilled, said, I thirst.

¹⁷ Jesus said to her, Touch me not, for I have not yet ascended to my Father; but go to my brethren, and say to them, I ascend to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.

⁹ When they came ashore, they saw a fire burning, and a fish laid on it, and bread.

¹⁵ When they had dined, Jesus said to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonas, do you love me more than these? He answered, Yes, Lord, you know that I love you.

¹⁶ Brethren, it was necessary this scripture should be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit formerly spoke, by the mouth of David, with respect to Judas, who became the guide of those that apprehended Jesus:

²⁸ Thou hast made me to know the ways of life; thou wilt make me full of joy with thy countenance."

³⁴ For David is not ascended into heaven, but he says, "The Lord said to my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, ³⁵ till I make thy foes thy footstool. ³⁶ Let, therefore, all the house of Israel assuredly know, that God has made this Jesus, whom you have crucified, Lord and Messiah.

¹³ The God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob, the God of our fathers, has glorified his Son Jesus, whom you delivered up, and rejected in the presence of Pilate, when he was desirous to release him:

¹³ The God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob, the God of our fathers, has glorified his Son Jesus, whom you delivered up, and rejected in the presence of Pilate, when he was desirous to release him: ¹⁴ but you rejected the Holy and Righteous One, and desired a murderer to be granted to you;

⁶ both Annas, the high priest, and Caiaphas; also John, and Alexander, and as many as were of the high priest's kindred.

²³ And being dismissed, they came to their own company, and related all that the chief priests and elders had said to them. ²⁴ And when they heard it, they lifted up their voice with one accord to God, and said, Lord, thou art the God who didst make heaven and earth; and the sea, and all things that are in them: ²⁵ who didst say by the mouth of thy servant David, "Why did the heathen rage, and the people imagine vain things? ²⁶ The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers combined together against the Lord, and against his anointed." ²⁷ For of a truth, against thy holy Son Jesus, whom thou hast anointed, both Herod, and Pontius Pilate, with the heathen, and the people of Israel, ²⁸ have combined to do what thy hand and thy counsel marked out before to be done. ²⁹ And now, O Lord, regard their threatenings; and give to thy servants to speak thy word with all freedom; ³⁰ whilst thou stretchest out thy hand to heal, and signs and wonders are doing through the name of thy holy Son Jesus.

⁵⁹ And they stoned Stephen, invoking, and saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.

²⁸ And he said to them, You know that it is unlawful for a man that is a Jew to join with, or to come into the house of, one of another nation; nevertheless, God has shown me that I am to call no man common or unclean.

³ saying, You did go in to men who were uncircumcised, and did eat with them.

¹³ And as Peter knocked at the door of the outer gate, a maiden, whose name was Rose, went to inquire who was there.

¹⁹ And they took him and conducted him to the Areopagus, saying, May we know what this new doctrine is, which is spoken by you? ²⁰ for you bring some strange things to our ears; we would, therefore, know what these things mean.

³² And when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some made a jest of it, and others said, We will hear you again upon this subject.

¹⁴ And when Paul would have opened his mouth, Gallio said to the Jews, If it were an act of injustice, or mischievous licentiousness, O Jews! it were reasonable I should bear with you. ¹⁵ But if it be a question concerning words, and names, and the law which is among you, you see to it yourselves; for I will be no judge of these matters. ¹⁶ And he drove them away from the tribunal.

²² And now, behold, I am going to Jerusalem, bound by the Spirit, not knowing the things that shall befall me there: ²³ except that the Holy Spirit testifies in every city, saying that bonds and afflictions await me.

³¹ And when they went about to kill him, word was brought to the commander of the cohort, that all Jerusalem was in confusion:

³⁷ But as Paul was going to be brought into the castle, he said to the commander, May I be allowed to speak to you? And he said, Can you speak Greek? ³⁸ Are you not that Egyptian, who did, before these days, stir up a sedition, and led out into the wilderness four thousand murderers?

²² And they heard him to this word, and they lifted up their voices, saying, Away with this fellow from the earth, for it is not fit that he should live. ²³ And as they were crying out, and were rending their garments, and casting dust into the air, ²⁴ the commander ordered that he should be brought into the castle, saying, that he should be put to the question by scourging, that he might know for what cause, they raised such an outcry against him.

²⁴ the commander ordered that he should be brought into the castle, saying, that he should be put to the question by scourging, that he might know for what cause, they raised such an outcry against him. ²⁵ And as they binding him with thongs, Paul said to the centurion, who stood by, Is it lawful for you to scourge a man, who is Roman, and uncondemned. ²⁶ And the centurion hearing this, went and addressed the commander, saying, What are you about to do? for this man is a Roman. ²⁷ And the commander came, and said to him, Tell me, are you a Roman? And he said, Yes. ²⁸ And the commander answered, I obtained this freedom with a considerable sum of money. And Paul replied, But I was free born.

² And Ananias, the high priest, commanded those that stood by him, to strike him on the mouth. ³ Then Paul said to him, God is about to strike you, you whited wall! For do you sit to judge me according to the law, and yet, in violation of the law, command me to be struck? ⁴ But they, that stood by, said, Do you revile the high priest of God? ⁵ And Paul said, Brethren, I was not aware that it was the high priest; for it is written, "You shall not speak evil of the ruler of your people."

¹⁰ And as a great disturbance arose, the commander, fearing lest Paul should be torn in pieces by them, ordered the soldiers to go down, and take him by force from the midst of them, and to bring him into the castle.

¹⁷ And Paul, calling one of the centurions to him, said, Conduct this young man to the commander, for he has something to tell him. ¹⁸ He, therefore, took and led him to the commander, and said, Paul, the prisoner, calling me to him, desired that I would bring to you this young man, who has something to tell you. ¹⁹ And the commander, taking him by the hand, and leading him into a retired place, inquired of him, What is it that you have to tell me? ²⁰ And he said, The Jews have agreed together to ask you, that you bring down Paul to-morrow to the Sanhedrim, as if they would inquire something more accurately concerning him. ²¹ But do not be prevailed on by them; for there are more than forty of them, that lie in ambush for him, who have bound themselves by a curse, neither to eat nor drink, till they have killed him; and they are now ready, expecting this promise from you. ²² The commander, therefore, dismissed the young man, with a charge, Be sure you tell no man, that you have discovered these things to me.

²⁸ And, desiring to know the crime of which they accused him, I brought him before the Sanhedrim, ²⁹ whom I found to be accused concerning questions of their law, but to have nothing charged upon him worthy of death, or of bonds.

²⁹ whom I found to be accused concerning questions of their law, but to have nothing charged upon him worthy of death, or of bonds. ³⁰ But when it was signified to me, that an ambush would be laid for the man, by the Jews, I immediately sent him to you, commanding his accusers also to declare before you, what they have against him. Farewell.

¹² and they neither found me disputing with any man in the temple, nor making any insurrection among the people, either in the synagogues, or in the city: ¹³ nor can they produce any proof of the things concerning which they now accuse me.

¹⁸ upon which some Asiatic Jews found me purified in the temple; neither with multitude nor with tumult; ¹⁹ who ought to have been present before you, and to accuse me, if they had anything against me: ²⁰ or let these themselves say, if, when I stood before the Sanhedrim,

²⁵ And he reasoned concerning righteousness and temperance, and judgment to come, Felix, trembling, answered, Go your way for this time, and I will take some future opportunity to call for you. ²⁶ And he hoped, also, that money would be given him by Paul, that he might be set at liberty: and, therefore, he sent the more frequently for him, and discoursed with him.

¹⁶ To whom I answered, that it is not the custom of the Romans to give up any man, till he that is accused have the accusers face to face, and be allowed an opportunity of making his defense, as to the crime laid to his charge.

¹⁸ Against whom, when the accusers stood up, they brought no charge of such things as I supposed; ¹⁹ but had certain questions against him, relating to their own religion, and about one Jesus, that was dead, whom Paul affirmed to be alive. ²⁰ But as I was dubious of the question relating to him, I said, that if he were willing, he should go to Jerusalem, and there be judged of these things.

²⁶ For the king knows of these things; to whom, also, I speak with freedom: for I am persuaded none of these things are hid from him, for this was not done in a corner.

¹ What is the pre-eminence of the Jew, then? or what profit is there of circumcision? ² Much, in every respect: chiefly, indeed, because they were entrusted with the Oracles of God.

¹⁵ For you have not received the spirit of bondage, again, to fear; but you have received the spirit of adoption, by which we cry, Abba, Father. ¹⁶ Also this spirit bears witness, together with our spirit, that we are children of God. ¹⁷ And if children, then heirs; heirs, indeed, of God, and joint heirs with Christ; if, indeed, we suffer with him, that with him also we may be glorified. ¹⁸ However, I esteem not the sufferings of the present time, as worthy of comparison with the glory, which is hereafter to be revealed in us.

¹⁷ For the Reign of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness and peace, and joy, in the Holy Spirit.

¹³ No trial has come upon you but such as belongs to man; and God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tried above what you are able, but will, with the trial, also make a way to escape, that you may be able to bear.

⁷ by the word of truth, by the power of God, through the armor of righteousness of the right hand and of the left;

¹⁵ what concord has Christ with Belial? or what portion has a believer with an unbeliever? ¹⁶ And what agreement has the temple of God with idols? for you are the temple of the living God; as God has said, "Assuredly I will dwell among them, and walk among them; and I will be their God, and they shall be to me a people. ¹⁷ Wherefore, come out from among them, and be separated, says the Lord, and touch no unclean person; and I will receive you;

¹ Now, I (the same Paul who, when present, indeed, am humble among you; but when absent, am bold toward you,)

⁴ (for the weapons of our warfare are not fleshly, but exceeding powerful for the overturning of strongholds;)

⁹ But he said to me, My favor is sufficient for you, besides, my power is perfected in weakness: most gladly, therefore, I will boast rather of my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may dwell upon me.

¹¹ Moreover, when Peter came to Antioch, I opposed him to his face, because he was to be blamed. ¹² For, before certain persons came from James, he did eat with the Gentiles; but when they were come, he withdrew, and separated himself, being afraid of them of the circumcision. ¹³ And the other Jews also dissembled with them, insomuch that even Barnabas was carried away with their dissimulation.

¹³ Christ has bought us off from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us: (for it is written, "Accursed is every one who is hanged on a tree":)

¹¹ And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather even reprove them. ¹² For the things which are secretly done by them, it is base even to mention.

²⁵ Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ, also, loved the congregation, and gave himself for it;

¹¹ Put on the complete armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the crafty ways of the devil. ¹² For we wrestle not with flesh and blood, but with governments, with powers, with the rulers of this darkness: with spiritual wickedness in the heavenly regions. ¹³ For this reason, take up the complete armor of God, that you may be able to resist in the evil day, and having fully wrought everything, to stand. ¹⁴ Stand, then, having your loins girded about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; ¹⁵ and having your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace. ¹⁶ Over all, taking up the shield of faith, with which you will be able to extinguish all the fiery darts of the wicked one. ¹⁷ And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.

¹² giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified us for a portion of the inheritance of the saints in the light; ¹³ who has delivered us from the power of darkness, and has translated us into the kingdom of his beloved Son: ¹⁴ by whom we have redemption, even the remission of sins.

¹³ I charge you, in the presence of God, who makes all alive- and of Christ Jesus, who witnessed to Pontius Pilate the good confession;

² looking to Jesus, the leader and perfecter of the faith; who, for the joy that was set before him, endured the cross, despising the shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

⁵ Besides, have you forgotten the exhortation which reasons with you as with children, "My son, do not think lightly of the Lord's chastisement, neither faint when you are rebuked by him: ⁶ for whom the Lord loves he chastises, and scourges every son whom he receives." ⁷ If you endure chastisement, God deals with you as his children. For what son is there whom his father does not chastise? ⁸ But if you be without chastisement, of which all sons are partakers, certainly you are bastards, and not sons. ⁹ Farther, we have had fathers of our flesh, who chastised us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection to the Father of our spirits, and live? ¹⁰ For they, indeed, during a very few days, chastised us according to their pleasure; but he, for our advantage, that we might be partakers of his holiness.

¹⁹ but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish, and without spot;

²² Wherefore, having purified your souls by obeying the truth, through the Spirit, to unfeigned brotherly love, love one another, from a pure heart, fervently:

¹⁴ We know that we have passed away from death to life, because we love the brethren. He who loves not his brother, abides in death.

¹⁹ For by this we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before him.

⁶ We are of God: he who know God, hearkens to us; he who is not of God, hearkens not to us. By this we know the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.

²⁰ Moreover, we know that the Son of God has come, and has given us understanding, that we might know him that is true; and we are in him that is true-in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and the eternal life.

⁴ John, to the seven congregation which are in Asia; favor and peace be with you, from him who is, and who was, and who is to come; and from the seven spirits which are before his throne;

¹⁴ And by the messenger of the congregation in Laodicea, write: These things says the AMEN, the Faithful and true Witness, the Beginning of the creation of God:
