¹¹ Jesus then said to Peter, Put up the sword into the scabbard. Shall I not drink the cup which the Father has given me? ¹² Then the cohort, and their commander, and the Jewish officers, apprehended Jesus; and having bound him, ¹³ brought him first to Annas, because he was father-in-law to Caiaphas, who was high priest that year. ¹⁴ Now it was Caiaphas, who had said in council to the Jews, It is expedient that one man die for the people. ¹⁵ Meantime Simon Peter, and another disciple, followed Jesus. That disciple, being known to the high priest, entered his court with Jesus. ¹⁶ But Peter stood without, at the door. Therefore the other disciple, who was known to the high priest, went out, and spoke to the portress, and brought in Peter.

¹⁶ But Peter stood without, at the door. Therefore the other disciple, who was known to the high priest, went out, and spoke to the portress, and brought in Peter. ¹⁷ Then the maid, the portress, said to Peter, Are not you also one of this man's disciples? He answered, I am not.

¹⁷ Then the maid, the portress, said to Peter, Are not you also one of this man's disciples? He answered, I am not.

¹⁷ Then the maid, the portress, said to Peter, Are not you also one of this man's disciples? He answered, I am not. ¹⁸ Now, the servants and the officers, stood near a fire, which they had made, because it was cold, and warmed themselves. And Peter was standing with them, and warming himself.

²² When he had spoken thus, one of the officers who attended, gave him a blow, and said, Do you answer the high priest thus?

²⁴ Now, Annas had sent him bound to Caiaphas, the high priest. ²⁵ As Peter stood warming himself, they asked him, Are not you also one of his disciples? He denied it, and said, I am not.

²⁵ As Peter stood warming himself, they asked him, Are not you also one of his disciples? He denied it, and said, I am not. ²⁶ One of the servants of the high priest, a kinsman to him whose ear Peter had cut off, said, Did I not see you in the garden with him? ²⁷ Peter denied again; and immediately the cock crew.

²⁷ Peter denied again; and immediately the cock crew. ²⁸ Then they led Jesus from the house of Caiaphas to the praetorium: it was now morning; but the Jews entered not the praetorium, lest they should be defiled, and so not in a condition to eat the passover.

³⁶ Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world. If my kingdom were of this world, my adherents would have fought to prevent my falling into the hands of the Jews; but my kingdom is not hence. ³⁷ Then Pilate said, You are a King, then? Jesus answered, You say that I am a King. For this I was born; and for this I came into the world, to give testimony to the truth. Whosoever is of the truth, hearkens to me.

⁷ The Jews answered, We have a law, and by that law he ought to die, because he assumed the title of the Son of God.

³³ Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners.

²⁵ (for the name of Hagar denotes Mount Sinai, in Arabia,) and she answers to the present Jerusalem, and is in bondage with her children.

²¹ Besides, to this you were called; for even Christ suffered for us, leaving us a pattern, that you should follow his footsteps; ²² who did not sin, neither was guile found in his mouth; ²³ who, when he was reviled, did not revile in return; when he suffered he did not threaten, but committed his cause to him who judges righteously-

²³ who, when he was reviled, did not revile in return; when he suffered he did not threaten, but committed his cause to him who judges righteously- ²⁴ who himself bore away our sins in his own body, on the tree; that we, being freed from sins, should live to righteousness; by whose stripes you are healed.

²² who, having gone into heaven, is at the right hand of God; angels, and authorities, and powers, being subjected to him.

¹ Christ, then, having suffered for us in the flesh, do you also warm yourselves with the same mind: for he who has suffered in the flesh, has ceased from sin;

⁷ Now the end of all things has approached; be, therefore, sober, and watch to prayer.

³ neither as lording it over the heritage of God, but, being patterns to the flock: ⁴ and when the Chief Shepherd shall appear, you shall receive the crown of glory which fades not away. ⁵ For the like reason, you younger persons subject yourselves to the seniors. Yes, all be subject to one another, and be clothed with humility, for God resists the proud but gives favor to the humble.

⁵ For the like reason, you younger persons subject yourselves to the seniors. Yes, all be subject to one another, and be clothed with humility, for God resists the proud but gives favor to the humble. ⁶ Be humbled, therefore, under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time.

⁸ Be sober, be vigilant: your adversary, the devil, is walking about as a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour:

³⁰ Jesus immediately, conscious of the virtue which had issued from him, turned toward the crowd, saying, Who touched my clothes?

⁸ and ordered them to take nothing for their journey, but a single staff; no bag, no bread, and in their girdle no money; ⁹ to be shod with sandals, and not to put on two coats.

³⁰ Now the Apostles, being assembled, related everything to Jesus, both what they had done, and what they had taught.

¹ He added, Indeed, I say to you, there are some standing here, who shall not taste death, till they see the Reign of God ushered in with power.

³⁴ But they were silent; for they had debated amongst themselves by the way, who should be greatest. ³⁵ Then having sat down, he called the twelve, and said to them, If any man would be first, he shall be the last of all, and the servant of all.

³⁷ They answered, That when you shall have attained your glory, one of us may sit at your right hand, and the other at your left. ³⁸ Jesus replied, You know not what you ask. Can you drink such a cup as I am to drink; and undergo an immersion like that which I must undergo? ³⁹ They answered, We can. Jesus said to them, You shall indeed drink such a cup, as I am to drink, and undergo an immersion like that which I must undergo; ⁴⁰ but to sit at my right hand, and left, I can not give, unless to those for whom it is appointed. ⁴¹ The ten hearing this, conceived indignation against James and John.

⁴¹ The ten hearing this, conceived indignation against James and John. ⁴² But Jesus having called them together, said to them, You know that those who are accounted the princes of the nations, domineer over them; and their great ones exercise authority upon them; ⁴³ but it must not be so amongst you. On the contrary, whosoever would be great amongst you, shall be your servant; ⁴⁴ and whosoever would be the chief, shall be the slave of all. ⁴⁵ For even the Son of Man came not to be served, but to serve, and to give his life a ransom for many.

¹¹ In this manner Jesus entered Jerusalem and the temple; where, after surveying everything around, it being late, he departed with the twelve to Bethany.

¹⁹ And in the evening he went out of the city.

³ Afterward, as he was sitting on the Mount of Olives, opposite the temple, Peter, and James, and John, and Andrew, asked him privately,

¹ After two days was the feast of the passover, and of unleavened bread. And the chief priests and the scribes were contriving how they might take Jesus by surprise, and kill him. ² They said, however, Not during the festival, for fear of an insurrection among the people.

² They said, however, Not during the festival, for fear of an insurrection among the people.

⁶ But Jesus said, Let her alone. Why do you molest her? She has done me a good office.

¹⁰ Then Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve, repaired to the chief priests, to betray Jesus to them.

¹⁰ Then Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve, repaired to the chief priests, to betray Jesus to them. ¹¹ And they listened to him with joy, and promised to give him money. Afterward he sought a favorable opportunity to deliver him up. ¹² Now the first day of unleavened bread, when the passover is sacrificed, his disciples said to him, Whither shall we go to prepare for your eating the passover?

¹² Now the first day of unleavened bread, when the passover is sacrificed, his disciples said to him, Whither shall we go to prepare for your eating the passover? ¹³ Then he sent two of his disciples, saying to them, Go into the city, where you will meet a man carrying a pitcher of water; follow him; ¹⁴ and wherever he shall enter, say to the master of the house, The Teacher says, Where is the guest chamber, in which I may eat the passover with my disciples? ¹⁵ And he will show you a large upper room ready furnished. There prepare for us. ¹⁶ Accordingly, his disciples went away, and being come into the city, found everything as he had told them, and prepared the passover. ¹⁷ In the evening he went thither with the twelve. ¹⁸ As they were at table eating, Jesus said, Indeed, I say to you, that one of you who eats with me, will betray me.

¹⁸ As they were at table eating, Jesus said, Indeed, I say to you, that one of you who eats with me, will betray me. ¹⁹ Upon this they became very sorrowful; and asked him, all of them, one after another, Is it I?

¹⁹ Upon this they became very sorrowful; and asked him, all of them, one after another, Is it I?

¹⁹ Upon this they became very sorrowful; and asked him, all of them, one after another, Is it I? ²⁰ He answering, said to them, It is one of the twelve; he who dips his morsel in the dish with me.

²⁰ He answering, said to them, It is one of the twelve; he who dips his morsel in the dish with me. ²¹ The Son of Man departs in the manner foretold in the scripture concerning him; but alas for that man! by whom the Son of Man is betrayed: it had been better for that man never to have been born.

²¹ The Son of Man departs in the manner foretold in the scripture concerning him; but alas for that man! by whom the Son of Man is betrayed: it had been better for that man never to have been born. ²² While they were at supper, Jesus took bread, and after blessing, broke it, and gave it to them, saying, Take; this is my body. ²³ Then he took the cup, and having given thanks, gave it to them; and they all drank of it.

²³ Then he took the cup, and having given thanks, gave it to them; and they all drank of it. ²⁴ And he said to them, This is my blood, the blood of the new institution, shed for many. ²⁵ Indeed, I say to you, that I will drink no more of the product of the vine, till that day when I shall drink it new in the kingdom of God. ²⁶ And after the hymn, they went to the Mount of Olives.

²⁹ Peter then said to him, Though they all should stumble, I never will. ³⁰ Jesus answered him, Indeed, I say to you, that today, this very night, before the cock crow twice, even you will disown me thrice. ³¹ But Peter insisted on it, adding, Although I should die with you, I will never disown you. And all the rest said the same. ³² Then they came to a place named Gethsemane, where he said to his disciples, Stay here while I pray.

³² Then they came to a place named Gethsemane, where he said to his disciples, Stay here while I pray. ³³ And he took with him Peter, and James, and John, and being seized with grief and horror,

³³ And he took with him Peter, and James, and John, and being seized with grief and horror, ³⁴ said to them, My soul is overwhelmed with a deadly anguish; tarry here and watch.

³⁴ said to them, My soul is overwhelmed with a deadly anguish; tarry here and watch. ³⁵ And going a little before, he threw himself on the ground, and prayed that, if it were possible, he might be delivered from that hour,

³⁵ And going a little before, he threw himself on the ground, and prayed that, if it were possible, he might be delivered from that hour, ³⁶ and said, Abba, (that is, Father,) all things are possible to thee; take this cup away from me; yet not what I would, but what thou wilt.

³⁶ and said, Abba, (that is, Father,) all things are possible to thee; take this cup away from me; yet not what I would, but what thou wilt. ³⁷ Then he returned, and finding them asleep, said to Peter, Simon, do you sleep? Could you not keep awake a single hour?

³⁷ Then he returned, and finding them asleep, said to Peter, Simon, do you sleep? Could you not keep awake a single hour?

³⁷ Then he returned, and finding them asleep, said to Peter, Simon, do you sleep? Could you not keep awake a single hour? ³⁸ Watch and pray, that you be not overcome by temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.

³⁸ Watch and pray, that you be not overcome by temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak. ³⁹ Again, he retired and prayed, using the same words. ⁴⁰ When he returned, he again found them sleeping; for their eyes were overpowered, and they knew not what to answer him.

⁴⁰ When he returned, he again found them sleeping; for their eyes were overpowered, and they knew not what to answer him. ⁴¹ A third time he came, and said to them, Do you now sleep, and take your rest? All is over: the hour is come: and the Son of Man is delivered into the hands of sinners.

⁴¹ A third time he came, and said to them, Do you now sleep, and take your rest? All is over: the hour is come: and the Son of Man is delivered into the hands of sinners.

⁴¹ A third time he came, and said to them, Do you now sleep, and take your rest? All is over: the hour is come: and the Son of Man is delivered into the hands of sinners. ⁴² Arise. Let us be going. Lo! he who betrays me is drawing near.

⁴² Arise. Let us be going. Lo! he who betrays me is drawing near. ⁴³ Immediately, before he had done speaking, appeared Judas, one of the twelve, with a great multitude armed with swords and clubs, who were sent by the chief priests, the scribes, and the elders. ⁴⁴ Now the betrayer had given them this signal: The man whom I shall kiss, is he; seize him, and lead him away safely.

⁴⁴ Now the betrayer had given them this signal: The man whom I shall kiss, is he; seize him, and lead him away safely. ⁴⁵ He was no sooner come, than accosting Jesus, he said, Rabbi, Rabbi, and kissed him.

⁴⁵ He was no sooner come, than accosting Jesus, he said, Rabbi, Rabbi, and kissed him. ⁴⁶ Then they laid hands on him and seized him.

⁴⁶ Then they laid hands on him and seized him. ⁴⁷ But one of those who were present, drew his sword, and smiting the high priest's servant, cut off his ear.

⁴⁷ But one of those who were present, drew his sword, and smiting the high priest's servant, cut off his ear. ⁴⁸ Then Jesus addressing them, said, Do you come with swords and clubs to apprehend me, like people in pursuit of a robber?

⁴⁸ Then Jesus addressing them, said, Do you come with swords and clubs to apprehend me, like people in pursuit of a robber? ⁴⁹ I was daily amongst you, teaching in the temple, and you did not arrest me. But in this the scriptures are accomplished.

⁴⁹ I was daily amongst you, teaching in the temple, and you did not arrest me. But in this the scriptures are accomplished. ⁵⁰ Then they all forsook him and fled.

⁵³ Then they took Jesus away to the high priest, with whom all the chief priests, the elders, and the scribes, were convened. ⁵⁴ And Peter followed him at a distance, as far as the court of the high priest's house, and sat there with the officers, warming himself at the fire. ⁵⁵ Meanwhile, the chief priests, and all the Sanhedrin, sought for evidence against Jesus, in order to condemn him to die, but found none: ⁵⁶ for many gave false testimony against him, but their testimonies were insufficient. ⁵⁷ The some arose, who testified falsely against him, saying, ⁵⁸ We heard him say, I will demolish this temple made with hands, and in three days will build another without hands. ⁵⁹ But even here their testimony was defective. ⁶⁰ Then the high priest, standing up in the midst, interrogated Jesus, saying, Do you answer nothing to what these men testify against you? ⁶¹ But he was silent, and gave no answer. Again, the high priest interrogating him, said, Are you the Messiah, the Son of the blessed One?

⁶¹ But he was silent, and gave no answer. Again, the high priest interrogating him, said, Are you the Messiah, the Son of the blessed One? ⁶² Jesus answered, I am; nay, you shall see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Almighty, and coming in the clouds of heaven.

⁶² Jesus answered, I am; nay, you shall see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Almighty, and coming in the clouds of heaven.

⁶² Jesus answered, I am; nay, you shall see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Almighty, and coming in the clouds of heaven. ⁶³ Then the high priest rent his garments, saying, What further need have we of witnesses?

⁶³ Then the high priest rent his garments, saying, What further need have we of witnesses?

⁶³ Then the high priest rent his garments, saying, What further need have we of witnesses? ⁶⁴ You have heard the blasphemy. What is your opinion? And they all pronounced him worthy of death.

⁶⁴ You have heard the blasphemy. What is your opinion? And they all pronounced him worthy of death.

⁶⁴ You have heard the blasphemy. What is your opinion? And they all pronounced him worthy of death. ⁶⁵ Then some began to spit on him; others to cover his face and buffet him, saying to him, Divine who it is. And the officers gave him blows on the cheeks.

⁶⁵ Then some began to spit on him; others to cover his face and buffet him, saying to him, Divine who it is. And the officers gave him blows on the cheeks. ⁶⁶ Now Peter being below in the court, one of the maids of the high priest came thither,

⁶⁶ Now Peter being below in the court, one of the maids of the high priest came thither,

⁶⁶ Now Peter being below in the court, one of the maids of the high priest came thither, ⁶⁷ who seeing Peter warming himself, looked on him, and said, You also were with the Nazarene Jesus.

⁶⁷ who seeing Peter warming himself, looked on him, and said, You also were with the Nazarene Jesus. ⁶⁸ But he denied it, saying, I know him not: nor do I understand what you mean. Immediately he went out into the portico, and the cock crew.

⁶⁸ But he denied it, saying, I know him not: nor do I understand what you mean. Immediately he went out into the portico, and the cock crew. ⁶⁹ The maid seeing him again, said to the bystanders, This is one of them.

⁶⁹ The maid seeing him again, said to the bystanders, This is one of them. ⁷⁰ Again he denied. And a little after, those who were present said to Peter, You are certainly one of them; for you are a Galilean, your speech shows it.

⁷⁰ Again he denied. And a little after, those who were present said to Peter, You are certainly one of them; for you are a Galilean, your speech shows it. ⁷¹ Upon this he affirmed, with imprecations, and oaths, that he did not know the man of whom they spoke. ⁷² The cock crew the second time: and Peter recollected the word which Jesus had said to him, Before the cock crow twice, you will disown me thrice. And reflecting upon this, he wept.

⁷² The cock crew the second time: and Peter recollected the word which Jesus had said to him, Before the cock crow twice, you will disown me thrice. And reflecting upon this, he wept.

¹ Early in the morning, the chief priests, with the elders, the scribes, and all the Sanhedrin, after consulting together, bound Jesus, carried him away, and delivered him to Pilate. ² Pilate, asking him, said, You are the king of the Jews? He answered, You say right.

¹⁶ And the soldiers brought him into the hall called praetorium, where, having convened all the band, ¹⁷ they arrayed him in purple, and crowned him with a wreath of thorns, ¹⁸ and saluted him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews! ¹⁹ Then they struck him on the head with a reed, and spit upon him, and paid him homage on their knees. ²⁰ And when they had mocked him, the stripped him of the purple, and dressed him in his own clothes, and took him away to be crucified.

²³ where they gave him wine to drink, mingled with myrrh, which he would not receive.

²⁷ They likewise crucified two robbers with him, one at his right hand, and the other at his left.

²⁷ They likewise crucified two robbers with him, one at his right hand, and the other at his left. ²⁸ And the scripture was fulfilled, which says, "He was ranked with malefactors." ²⁹ Meanwhile, they who passed by reviled him, shaking their heads, and saying, Ah! you who could demolish the temple, and rebuild it in three days! ³⁰ save yourself, and come down from the cross! ³¹ The chief priests likewise, with the scribes, deriding him, said among themselves, He saved others; can not he save himself? ³² Let the Messiah, the King of Israel, descend now from the cross, that we may see and believe! Even those who were crucified with him reproached him.

⁷ But go, say to his disciples, and to Peter, He is gone before you to Galilee; where you shall see him, as he told you.

¹⁹ Now, after the Lord had spoken to them, he was taken up into heaven, and sat down at the right hand of God.

⁶ They were both righteous before God, blameless observers of all the Lord's commandments and ordinances.

¹⁰ for it is written, "He will give his angels charge concerning thee, to keep thee; ¹¹ and, in their arms they shall uphold thee, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone."

⁴¹ Demons also came out of many, crying out, Thou art the Son of God. But he rebuked them, and would not allow them to speak, because they knew that he was the Messiah.

¹⁶ Judas, brother of James, and Judas Iscariot, who proved a traitor.

¹³ When the Lord saw her, he had pity upon her, and said to her, Weep not.

¹³ By the rock are meant those, who, when they hear, receive the word with joy; yet not having it rooted in them, are but temporary believers; for in the time of trial they fall off.

³ And he said to them, Provide nothing for your journey; nor staves, nor bag, nor bread, nor silver, nor two coats apiece;

¹⁶ Then he took the five loaves and the two fishes; and looking up to heaven, he blessed and broke them, and gave them to his disciples, to set before the multitudes.

²⁷ I assure you, that there are some standing here, who shall not taste death till they see the Reign of God.

⁴⁶ And there arose a debate among them, which of them should be the greatest.

⁴⁸ said to them, Whosoever shall receive this child for my sake, receives me; and whosoever shall receive me, receives him who sent me: for he who is the least amongst you all, this person shall be great.

⁴ Carry no purse, nor bag, nor shoes; and salute no person by the way.

⁴¹ Jesus answering, said to her, Martha, Martha, you are anxious, and trouble yourself about many things.

⁴ and forgive us our sins, for even we forgive all who offend us; and lead us not into temptation.

¹⁵ One of the guests, hearing this, said to him, Happy be he who shall feast in the Reign of God.

³¹ Abraham replied, if they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded though one should arise from the dead.

⁷ Would any of you, who has a servant plowing or feeding cattle, say to him on his return from the field, Come, immediately, and place yourself at table; ⁸ and not rather, Make ready my supper; gird yourself and serve me, until I have eat and drunk; afterward you may eat and drink? ⁹ Is he obliged to that servant for obeying his orders? I suppose not.

¹¹ The Pharisee standing by himself, prayed thus: -O God, I thank thee that I am not as other men, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican.

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.

⁵ When Jesus came to the place, he looked up, and seeing him, said, Zaccheus, make haste and come down, for today I must abide at your house.

¹⁷ He answered, Well done, good servant; because you have been faithful in a very small matter, receive the government of ten cities.

²⁹ When he approached Bethphage and Bethany, near the mountain called the Mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples, ³⁰ saying, Go to yonder village, where, as you enter, you will find a colt tied, on which no man ever rode; loose him, and bring him. ³¹ If any one ask you why you loose him, you shall answer, Because the Master needs him.

³¹ If any one ask you why you loose him, you shall answer, Because the Master needs him. ³² Accordingly, they who received this order, went, and found everything as he had told them.

³² Accordingly, they who received this order, went, and found everything as he had told them. ³³ As they were loosing the colt, the owners said to them, Why loose you the colt? ³⁴ They answered, The Master needs him.

³⁴ They answered, The Master needs him. ³⁵ So they brought him to Jesus, and having thrown their mantles upon the colt, set Jesus on it. ³⁶ As he went, the people spread their mantles in the way before him. ³⁷ When he was so near as the descent of the Mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to praise God in loud acclamations, for all the miracles which they had seen; 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.

⁴⁷ And he taught daily in the temple, while the chief priests and the scribes, and persons of principal note, sought his destruction; ⁴⁸ but could not devise how to effect it: for all the people heard him with the greatest attention.

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.

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.

⁴¹ And he said to them, Why is it affirmed that the Messiah must be a son of David? ⁴² Yet David himself says, in the book of the Psalms, "The Lord said to my Lord, Sit at my right hand, ⁴³ till I make thy foes thy footstool." ⁴⁴ As David thus calls him his Lord, how can he be David's son?

³¹ Know, in like manner, when you shall see these events, that the Reign of God is nigh.

³³ Heaven and earth shall fail; but my words shall not fail. ³⁴ Take heed, therefore, to yourselves, lest your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and worldly cares, and that day come upon you unawares: for, as a net, ³⁵ it shall inclose all the inhabitants of the earth. ³⁶ Be vigilant, therefore, praying on every occasion, that you may be accounted worthy to escape all these approaching evils, and to stand before the Son of Man. ³⁷ Thus Jesus taught in the temple by day, but retired at night to the mountain, called the Mount of Olives.

³⁷ Thus Jesus taught in the temple by day, but retired at night to the mountain, called the Mount of Olives. ³⁸ And every morning the people resorted early to the temple to hear him.

¹ Now the feast of unleavened bread, called the passover, being near,

³ Then Satan entered into Judas, surnamed Iscariot, who was of the number of the twelve. ⁴ And he went and concerted with the chief priests and officers, how he might deliver Jesus into their hands.

⁴ And he went and concerted with the chief priests and officers, how he might deliver Jesus into their hands. ⁵ And they were glad, and agreed to give him a certain sum, ⁶ which Judas having accepted, watched an opportunity to deliver him up without tumult.

¹⁶ that I will never partake of another, until it be accomplished in the kingdom of God. ¹⁷ Then, taking a cup, he gave thanks, and said, Take this, and share it amongst you;

¹⁷ Then, taking a cup, he gave thanks, and said, Take this, and share it amongst you;

¹⁷ Then, taking a cup, he gave thanks, and said, Take this, and share it amongst you; ¹⁸ for I assure you, that I will not again drink of the product of the vine, until the Reign of God be come.

¹⁸ for I assure you, that I will not again drink of the product of the vine, until the Reign of God be come. ¹⁹ Then he took bread, and having given thanks, broke it, and gave it to them, saying, This is my body, which is given for you. Do this in commemoration of me.

¹⁹ Then he took bread, and having given thanks, broke it, and gave it to them, saying, This is my body, which is given for you. Do this in commemoration of me. ²⁰ He likewise gave the cup, after supper, saying, This cup is the new Institution in my blood, which is shed for you.

²⁰ He likewise gave the cup, after supper, saying, This cup is the new Institution in my blood, which is shed for you. ²¹ Mark, however, that the hand of him who betrays me, is on the table with mine. ²² The Son of Man is going away, as has been determined: nevertheless, alas, for that man by whom he is betrayed!

³⁰ to eat, and to drink at my table, in my kingdom, and to sit on thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

³² but I have prayed for you, that your faith fail not; do you, therefore, when you have recovered yourself, confirm your brethren. 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.

³⁴ Jesus replied, I tell you, Peter, the cock shall not crow today, before you have thrice denied that you know me.

³⁸ They said, Master, here are two swords. He replied, It is enough.

⁴⁰ Being arrived there, he said to them, Pray that you may not yield to temptation.

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

⁴⁶ and said to them, Why do you sleep? Arise, and pray, lest the trial overcome you.

⁴⁹ Now, those who were with him, foreseeing what would happen, said to him, Master, shall we strike with the sword?

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?

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.

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

³² And two malefactors were also led with him to execution.

²⁵ Then he said to them, O thoughtless men, and backward to believe things which have been all predicted by the prophets! ²⁶ Ought not the Messiah thus to suffer, and so to enter into his glory? ²⁷ Then beginning with Moses, and proceeding through all the prophets, he explained to them all the passages relating to himself.

³⁰ While they were at table together, he took the loaf, and blessed and broke it, and distributed to them.

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. ⁴⁵ Then he opened their minds, that they might understand the scriptures; ⁴⁶ and said to them, Thus it is written, and thus it behooved the Messiah to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day;

⁴⁶ and said to them, Thus it is written, and thus it behooved the Messiah to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day;

³⁴ Having, therefore, seen this, I testify that he is the Son of God.

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

⁵ His mother said to the servants, Do whatever he shall bid you.

²⁵ He needed not to receive from others a character of any man, for he knew what was in man.

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

³⁰ I can do nothing of myself; as I hear, I judge; and my judgment is just, because I seek not to please myself, but to please him who sent me.

³⁹ You search the scriptures because you think to obtain by them eternal life. Now these, also, are witnesses for me; ⁴⁰ yet you will not come to me, that you may obtain life. ⁴¹ I desire not honor from men; ⁴² but I know you, that you are strangers to the love of God. ⁴³ I am come in my Father's name, and you did not receive me; if another come, in his own name, you will receive him. ⁴⁴ How can you believe, while you court honor one from another, regardless of the honor which comes from God alone? ⁴⁵ Do not think that I am he who will accuse you to the Father. Your accuser is Moses, in whom you confide. ⁴⁶ For if you believed Moses, you would believe me: for he wrote concerning me. ⁴⁷ But if you believe not his writings, how shall you believe my words?

²³ (other boats, however, arrived from Tiberias, nigh the place where they had eat, after the Lord had given thanks;)

²⁷ Work not for the food which perishes, but for the food which endures through eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you; for to him the Father, that is, God, has given his attestation.

³⁸ For I descended from heaven to do, not my own will, but the will of him who sent me.

⁵⁰ Behold the bread which descended from heaven, that whosoever eats of it may not die. ⁵¹ I am the living bread, which descended from heaven. Whosoever eats of this bread, shall live forever; and the bread that I will give, is my flesh, which I give for the life of the world.

⁵¹ I am the living bread, which descended from heaven. Whosoever eats of this bread, shall live forever; and the bread that I will give, is my flesh, which I give for the life of the world. ⁵² The Jews then debated among themselves, saying, How can this man give us his flesh to eat? ⁵³ Jesus, therefore, said to them, Most assuredly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man, and drink his blood, you have not life in you. ⁵⁴ He that eats my flesh, and drinks my blood, has eternal life; and I will raise him again at the last day: ⁵⁵ for my flesh is truly meat, and my blood is truly drink. ⁵⁶ He who eats my flesh, and drinks my blood, abides in me, and I abide in him. ⁵⁷ As the Father lives, who sent me; and I live by the Father; even so he, who feeds on me, shall live by me. ⁵⁸ This is the bread which descended from heaven. It is not like what your fathers eat, for they died: he that eats this bread, shall live for ever.

⁶⁷ Then said Jesus to the twelve, Will you also go away? ⁶⁸ Simon Peter answered, Master, to whom should we go? You have the words of eternal life:

⁷⁰ Jesus answered them, Have not I chosen you twelve? yet one of you is a spy. ⁷¹ He meant Judas Iscariot, son of Simon; for it was he who was to betray him, though he was one of the twelve.

²⁵ Then some inhabitants of Jerusalem, said, Is not this he whom they seek to kill? ²⁶ Lo! he speaks boldly, and they say nothing to him. Do the rulers, indeed, acknowledge that this is the Messiah?

³⁰ Then they sought to apprehend him, but none laid hands on him; for his hour was not yet come.

⁴⁵ Then the officers returned to the chief priests and Pharisees, who asked them, Wherefore have you not brought him?

³¹ Jesus, therefore, said to those Jews who believed on him, If you persevere in my doctrine, you are my disciples indeed.

⁴³ Why do you not understand my language? It is because you can not bear my doctrine. ⁴⁴ The devil is your father, and the desires of your father you will gratify: he was a manslayer from the beginning; he swerved from the truth, because there was no veracity in him. When he tells a lie, he speaks suitably to his character; for he is a liar, and the father of lying. ⁴⁵ As for me, because I speak the truth, you do not believe me.

²⁷ He answered, I told you before; did you not hear? Why would you hear it repeated? Will you, also, be his disciples? ²⁸ They reviled him and said, You are his disciple. As for us, we are disciples of Moses.

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.

³⁰ I and the Father are one.

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?

²⁸ Having said this, she went and called Mary, her sister, aside, saying, The Teacher is come, and calls for you.

⁴⁰ Jesus replied, Did I not say to you, If you believe, you shall see the glory of God?

⁴⁷ Then the chief priests and the Pharisees assembled the Sanhedrim, and said, What are we doing? for this man works many miracles. ⁴⁸ If we let him go on thus, every one will believe on him, and the Romans will come and destroy both our place and our nation. 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; ⁵² and not for that nation only, but that he should assemble into one body the dispersed children of God. ⁵³ From that day, therefore, they concerted how they might destroy him.

⁵⁵ Meantime, the Jewish passover approached, and many went to Jerusalem from the country, before the passover, to purify themselves. ⁵⁶ These inquired after Jesus, and said, one to another, as they stood in the temple, What do you think? Will he not come to the festival? ⁵⁷ Now the chief priests and the Pharisees had issued an order, that whosoever knew where he was, he should make it known, that they might apprehend him.

⁵⁷ Now the chief priests and the Pharisees had issued an order, that whosoever knew where he was, he should make it known, that they might apprehend him.

⁶ This he said, not that he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief, and had the purse, and carried what was put in it.

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.

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.

³⁷ But, though he had performed so many miracles before them, they believed not on him; ³⁸ so that the word of the Prophet Isaiah was verified, "Lord, who has believed out report?" and, "To whom is the arm of the Lord revealed?" ³⁹ For this reason they could not believe; Isaiah having said, also, ⁴⁰ "He has blinded their eyes, and blunted their understanding, that they might not see with their eyes, comprehend with their understanding, and be converted, that I might heal them." ⁴¹ These things said Isaiah, when he saw his glory, and spoke concerning him. ⁴² Nevertheless, there were several, even of the magistrates, who believed on him; but, for fear of the Pharisees, did not avow it, lest they should be expelled the synagogue; ⁴³ for they preferred approbation of men to the approbation of God.

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,)

⁵ Then he poured water into a basin, and began to wash the feet of his disciples, and to wipe them with the towel with which he was girded. ⁶ When he came to Simon Peter, Peter said to him, Master, would you wash my feet? ⁷ Jesus answered, At present you do not comprehend what I am doing; but you shall know hereafter. ⁸ Peter replied, You shall never wash my feet. Jesus answered, Unless I wash you, you can have no part with me. ⁹ Simon Peter said to him, Master, not my feet only; but also my hands and my head. ¹⁰ Jesus replied, He who has been bathing, needs only to wash his feet; the rest of his body being clean. ¹¹ You are clean, but not all. For he knew who would betray him; therefore he said, You are not all clean. ¹² After he had washed their feet, he put on his mantle, and replacing himself at table, said to them, Do you understand what I have been doing to you? ¹³ You call me the Teacher and the Master; and you say right; for so I am. ¹⁴ If I, then, the Master and the Teacher, have washed your feet; you also ought to wash one another's feet. ¹⁵ For I have given you an example, that you should do as I have done to you. ¹⁶ Most assuredly, I say to you, the servant is not greater than his master, nor is the apostle greater than he who sends him.

¹⁸ I speak not of you all. I know whom I have chosen: but the scripture must be fulfilled, "He that eats at my table, has lifted up his heel against me."

¹⁸ I speak not of you all. I know whom I have chosen: but the scripture must be fulfilled, "He that eats at my table, has lifted up his heel against me." ¹⁹ I tell you this now, before it happen; that when it happens, you may believe that I am the Messiah.

²¹ After uttering these words, Jesus was troubled in spirit, and declared, saying, Most assuredly, I say to you, one of you will betray me. ²² Then the disciples looked one upon another, doubting of whom he spoke.

²² Then the disciples looked one upon another, doubting of whom he spoke. ²³ Now one of his disciples, one whom Jesus loved, was lying close to his breast: ²⁴ Simon Peter, therefore, made a sign to him, to inquire whom he meant. ²⁵ He, then, reclining on Jesus' bosom, said to him, Master, who is it? ²⁶ Jesus answered, It is he to whom I shall give this morsel, after I have dipped it. And having dipped the morsel, he gave it to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon.

²⁶ Jesus answered, It is he to whom I shall give this morsel, after I have dipped it. And having dipped the morsel, he gave it to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon. ²⁷ After receiving the morsel, Satan entered into him. And Jesus said to him, What you do, do quickly.

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. ³⁷ Peter replied, Master, why can not I follow you presently? I will lay down my life for your sake! 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.

¹⁹ Yet a little while, and the world shall see me no more; but you shall see me; because I live, you also shall live.

³⁰ I shall not, henceforth, have much conversation with you; for the prince of the world is coming, though he will find nothing in me;

²⁰ Remember what I said to you, The servant is not greater than his master. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have observed my word, they will also observe yours.

⁴ Of these things I warn you now, that when the time shall come, you may remember that I mentioned them to you. I did not, indeed, mention them at the beginning, because I was with you myself.

²⁰ Most assuredly, I say to you, you will weep and lament, but the world will rejoice: you will be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy. ²¹ A woman in travail has sorrow, because her hour is come. But when her son is born, she remembers her anguish no longer; for joy that she has brought a man into the world. ²² So, you, at present, are in grief; but I will visit you again, and your hearts shall be joyful, and none shall rob you of your joy.

³³ These things I have spoken to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take courage! I have overcome the world.

¹ When Jesus had ended this discourse, he said, lifting up his eyes to heaven, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee;

⁴ I have glorified thee upon the earth; I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do.

⁹ It is for them that I pray. I pray not for the world, but for those whom thou hast given me; because they are thine. ¹⁰ And all mine are thine, and thine mine, and I am glorified in them. ¹¹ I continue no longer in the world; but these continue in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, preserve them in thy name, whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are. 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.

¹⁵ I do not pray thee to remove them out of the world, but to preserve them from evil. ¹⁶ Of the world they are not, as I am not of the world.

²⁸ After this, Jesus, (knowing that all was now accomplished,) that the scripture might be fulfilled, said, I thirst. ²⁹ And there was a vessel there full of vinegar, they filled a sponge with vinegar, and, having fastened it to a twig of hyssop, held it to his mouth. ³⁰ When Jesus had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished; and bowing his head, yielded up his spirit.

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 A second time he said, Simon, son of Jonas, do you love me? He answered, Yes, Lord, you know that I love you. Jesus replied, Tend my sheep. ¹⁷ A third time he said, Simon, son of Jonas, do you love me? Peter, grieved at his asking this question a third time, answered, Lord, you know all things; you know that I love you. Jesus replied, Feed my sheep.

¹⁷ A third time he said, Simon, son of Jonas, do you love me? Peter, grieved at his asking this question a third time, answered, Lord, you know all things; you know that I love you. Jesus replied, Feed my sheep.

¹³ And when they were come into the city, they went up into an upper room, where abode both Peter, and James, and John, and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James, son of Alpheus, and Simon, the Zealot, and Judas, brother of James.

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:

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: ¹⁷ (for he was numbered with us, and had obtained a part of this ministry:)

¹⁷ (for he was numbered with us, and had obtained a part of this ministry:) ¹⁸ this man, therefore, purchased a field with the reward of iniquity, and falling down on his face, he burst asunder in the middle, and all his bowels gushed out:

¹⁸ this man, therefore, purchased a field with the reward of iniquity, and falling down on his face, he burst asunder in the middle, and all his bowels gushed out:

¹⁸ this man, therefore, purchased a field with the reward of iniquity, and falling down on his face, he burst asunder in the middle, and all his bowels gushed out: ¹⁹ and it was known to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that field is called, in their language, Aceldama, that is, The Field of Blood. ²⁰ For it is written in the book of Psalms, "Let his habitation be desolate, and let no man dwell in it": and, "Let another take his office." ²¹ It is necessary, therefore, that one of the men who have continued with us all the time the Lord Jesus was conversant among us, ²² commencing from his immersion by John, until the day of his assumption, should be constituted a witness with us, of his resurrection. ²³ And they set up two men, Joseph, called Barsabas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias. ²⁴ And they prayed, saying, Thou, Lord, who knowest the hearts of all, show which of these two thou hast chosen, ²⁵ that he may take part of the ministry and apostleship, from which Judas fell by transgression, that he might goes to his own place.

²⁵ that he may take part of the ministry and apostleship, from which Judas fell by transgression, that he might goes to his own place.

²³ him you have apprehended, being given up by the declared counsel and foreknowledge of God, and by the hands of sinners have crucified and slain:

³⁰ therefore, being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn to him with an oath, that of the fruit of his loins he would raise up the Messiah to sit on his throne; ³¹ he, foreseeing this, spoke of the resurrection of the Messiah, that his soul should not be left in the unseen world, nor his flesh see corruption. ³² This Jesus, God has raised up, of which all we are witnesses: ³³ being exalted, therefore, to the right hand of God, and having received the promise of the Holy Spirit from the Father, he has shed forth this, which you see and hear. 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.

¹ Now, about that time, Peter and John went up to the temple, at the hour of prayer, being the ninth hour.

¹¹ And while he kept fast hold of Peter and John, all the people ran together to them, exceedingly astonished, in the portico called Solomon's.

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;

¹⁹ Reform, therefore, and return to God, that so your sins may be blotted out; that seasons of refreshment may come from the presence of the Lord,

¹ And while they were speaking to the people, the priests, the captain of the temple guard, and the Sadducees, came upon them;

¹³ Now, when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and understood that they were illiterate men, and in private stations in life, they were astonished, and recollected their having been with Jesus.

¹⁹ But Peter and John, answering them, said, Whether it be just in the sight of God, to obey you rather than God, judge you:

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,

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.

³ But Peter said, Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart, that you should attempt to impose on the Holy Spirit, and to secrete a part of the price of the land?

²⁴ Now, when the high priest, and the captain of the temple guard, and the chief priests heard these words, they doubted concerning them, what this could be.

²⁶ Then the captain went, with the officers, and brought them, (not by violence, for they feared the people, lest they should be stoned:)

³¹ HIM has God exalted at his right hand, a Prince and Saviour, to give reformation to Israel, and remission of sins.

⁵⁵ But he, being full of the Holy Spirit, looking up steadfastly toward heaven, saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God. ⁵⁶ And he said, Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God.

¹⁴ Now when the Apostles, who were at Jerusalem, heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent them Peter and John;

²⁰ But Peter said to him, Let your money go with you to destruction, since you have thought that the free gift of God might be purchased with money.

²⁶ And a messenger of the Lord spoke to Philip, saying, Arise, and go toward the south, by the way that goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza, which is desert. ²⁷ And he arose, and took his journey; and, behold, a certain Ethiopian officer, a grandee of Candace, the queen of the Ethiopians, that was over all her treasure, who had come to worship at Jerusalem, ²⁸ was returning, and sat in his chariot, reading the Prophet Isaiah. ²⁹ And the Spirit said to Philip, Approach, and join yourself to this chariot.

⁴ and he fell to the ground, and heard a voice saying to him, Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?

⁴¹ not to all the people, but to witnesses before appointed by God, even to us, who have eat and drunk with him after he arose from the dead.

²⁷ for the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and their rulers, not knowing him, nor the sayings of the prophets, which are read every Sabbath day; have fulfilled them in condemning him.

²⁷ for the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and their rulers, not knowing him, nor the sayings of the prophets, which are read every Sabbath day; have fulfilled them in condemning him. ²⁸ And though they could find no cause of death in him; yet they requested Pilate that he might be executed.

²⁸ And though they could find no cause of death in him; yet they requested Pilate that he might be executed. ²⁹ And when they had accomplished all things that were written concerning him; taking him down from the cross, they laid him in a tomb.

¹⁴ And a certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, a worshiper of God, heard the discourse: whose heart the Lord opened to attend to the things which were spoken by Paul. ¹⁵ And when she was immersed, with her family, she entreated us, saying, If you have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, enter into my house, and continue there. And she compelled us.

²³ and having saluted the congregation, he went down to Antioch. And having spent some time there, he departed, going through the country of Galatia and Phrygia, in a regular manner confirming all the disciples.

⁸ And there were many lamps in the upper room, in which we were assembled;

²³ except that the Holy Spirit testifies in every city, saying that bonds and afflictions await me. ²⁴ But I make no account of any of these things, nor do I regard even life itself; so that I may but joyfully finish my course, and the ministry which I have received of the Lord Jesus, even to testify the good news of the favor of God.

¹³ But Paul answered, What do you mean, thus weeping, and breaking my heart? for I am ready, not only to be bound; but also to die at Jerusalem, for the name of the Lord Jesus.

⁵ as also the high priest is my witness, and all the national senate: from whom also having received letters to the brethren, I went to Damascus; to bring those that were there bound, to Jerusalem, that they might be punished.

¹¹ and frequently punishing them in all the synagogues, I compelled them to blaspheme: and being exceedingly mad against them, I persecuted them even to foreign cities.

¹⁸ to open their eyes, to turn them from darkness to light, and from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God; that they may receive forgiveness of sons, and an inheritance amongst the sanctified, through faith in me.

²² Having, therefore, obtained help from God, I continue, till this day, testifying both to small and great, saying nothing but what the prophets and Moses have declared would be; ²³ that the Messiah would be a sufferer-would be first of a resurrection from the dead-would give light to the people, and to the Gentiles.

⁹ Much more, then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. ¹⁰ For if, being enemies, we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son; much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.

³² He, certainly, who spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all; how will he not, with him, also, graciously give us all things?

³⁴ Who is he, who condemns them? It is Christ, who died; or rather, who has risen: who also, is at the right hand of God; and who makes intercession for us?

² And be not conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind; that you may approve the will of God, which is good, and acceptable, and perfect.

¹⁰ In brotherly love, be tenderly affectionate to one another-in honor, prefer one another.

¹⁹ Beloved, do not avenge yourselves, but give place to the wrath of God; for it is written, "Vengeance belongs to me; I will repay, says the Lord."

²¹ Be not overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

⁶ He who observes the day, observe it to the Lord; and he who does not observe the day to the Lord, does not observe it: he who eats, eats to the Lord, for he gives God thanks.

⁷ Cleanse out, therefore, the old leaven, that you may be a new lump, seeing you are without leaven; for even our passover, Christ is sacrificed for us.

⁷ Cleanse out, therefore, the old leaven, that you may be a new lump, seeing you are without leaven; for even our passover, Christ is sacrificed for us. ⁸ Therefore, let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness: but with unleavened sincerity and truth.

² Do you not know that the saints are to judge with world? And if the world is to be judged by you, are you unworthy to decide your petty causes? ³ Do you not know that we are to judge messengers? Why not, then, things pertaining to this life?

²⁵ Now, every one who contends is temperate in all things: they, indeed, that they may receive a fading crown; but we, one that does not fade.

⁴ and all did drink the same spiritual drink; (for they drank of the spiritual rock, which followed them, and that rock was Christ.)

¹² Wherefore, let him who thinks he stands, take heed, lest he fall.

¹⁶ The cup of blessing, which we bless; is it not the joint participation of the blood of Christ? The loaf, which we break; is it not the joint participation of the body of Christ?

¹⁶ The cup of blessing, which we bless; is it not the joint participation of the blood of Christ? The loaf, which we break; is it not the joint participation of the body of Christ? ¹⁷ Because there is one loaf, we, the many, are one body: for we all participate of that one loaf. ¹⁸ Look at Israel after the flesh. Are not they, who eat of the sacrifices, joint partakers of the altar? ¹⁹ What, then, do I affirm? that an idol is anything, or than an idol sacrifice is anything? ²⁰ No. But, that what the heathens sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons, and not to God. Now, I would not have you become joint partakers with the demons. ²¹ You can not drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons: you can not partake of the table of the Lord, and of the table of demons.

²³ For I received from the Lord what, also, I delivered to you; that the Lord Jesus, in the night in which we was betrayed, took a loaf; ²⁴ and, having given thanks, he broke it; and said, Take, eat; this is my body, which is broken for you: do this in remembrance of me. ²⁵ In like manner, also, the cup, after he had supped; saying, This cup is the new institution in my blood: do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me.

²⁵ In like manner, also, the cup, after he had supped; saying, This cup is the new institution in my blood: do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me. ²⁶ For as often as you eat this loaf, and drink this cup, you openly publish the death of the Lord, until he come. ²⁷ So, then, whosoever shall eat this loaf, and drink this cup of the Lord unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord. ²⁸ But let a man examine himself, and then let him eat of the loaf, and drink of the cup. ²⁹ For he who eats and drinks unworthily, eats and drinks judgment to himself, not distinguishing the body of the Lord.

⁴ Love suffers long, and is kind. Love envies not. Love does not vaunt; is not puffed up;

³ For I delivered to you, among the first things, what also I received first-that Christ died for our sins, according to the scriptures; ⁴ and that he was buried; and that he rose again the third day, according to the scriptures;

⁴ who comforts us in all out affliction, that we may be able to comfort them who are in any affliction, by the consolation with which they are comforted of God. ⁵ For as the sufferings for Christ abound in us, also, our consolation abounds through Christ. ⁶ Now, whether we are afflicted, it is for your comfort, and salvation; or whether we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which is effected by enduring the same sufferings which we also suffer. ⁷ And out hope of you is steadfast, knowing that, as you are partakers of the sufferings, so shall you be also of the comfort.

⁶ who has made us competent ministers of a new institution; not of letter, but of spirit: for the letter kills; but the spirit makes alive.

³ If then, indeed, our gospel be veiled, it is veiled among the destroyed; ⁴ among whom the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, might shine into them. ⁵ Now, we do not preach ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants, for Jesus' sake. ⁶ For God, who commanded light to shine out of darkness, has shined into our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

²¹ For he has made him, who knew no sin, a sin-offering for us; that we might become the justified of God, by him.

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;

⁹ I now rejoice; not that you were made sorry, but that your sorrow produced reformation: for you were made to sorrow in a godly manner, that you might be injured by us in nothing. ¹⁰ For godly sorrow produces a reformation to salvation, never to be repented of; but the sorrow of the world produces death. ¹¹ Behold, now, this very thing-your being made sorry with a godly sorrow-what carefulness it wrought in you; yes, what clearing of yourselves; yes, what indignation; yes, what fear; yes, what earnest desire; yes, what zeal; yes, what revenge! Upon the whole, you have showed yourselves to be pure in this matter.

⁹ (For you know the charity of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sake he became poor; that you, through his poverty, might be rich.)

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

³ For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh; ⁴ (for the weapons of our warfare are not fleshly, but exceeding powerful for the overturning of strongholds;)

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

⁷ Indeed, that I might not be exalted above measure by the transcendency of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, a messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure. ⁸ Concerning this, I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me. 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. ¹⁰ Wherefore, I am well pleased with weaknesses, with insults, with necessities, with persecutions, with distresses, for Christ's sake; because when I am weak, then I am strong.

⁴ who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from the present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father,

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":)

⁴ But when the fullness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, born of a woman, born under the law, ⁵ that he might redeem those under law, that we might receive the adoption of sons.

²⁰ which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places; ²¹ far above all government, and power, and might, and lordship, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come; ²² and subjected all things under his feet, and appointed him head over all things to the congregation, ²³ which is his body, the fullness of him who fills all in all;

¹¹ Wherefore, remember that you, formerly Gentiles in the flesh, (those called the uncircumcision, by them called the circumcision in the flesh, made by hands,)

⁸ (Wherefore he says, Having ascended on high, he captivated captivity, and gave gifts to men. ⁹ Now, this-Having ascended, what is it, unless, indeed, he had also descended into the lower parts of the earth! ¹⁰ He who descended, is the same who also ascended far above all the heavens, that he might fill all things.)

² and walk in love, even as Christ has loved us, and has given himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God, for a sweet smelling savor.

¹⁸ And we not drunk with wine, by which comes dissoluteness; but be filled with the Spirit: ¹⁹ speaking to one another in psalms, and hymns, and spiritual songs; singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord:

¹⁰ Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. 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.

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. ¹⁸ With all supplication and deprecation, pray at all seasons in spirit; and for this very purpose, watch with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints:

¹⁸ With all supplication and deprecation, pray at all seasons in spirit; and for this very purpose, watch with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints: ¹⁹ especially for me, that eloquence may be given me in opening my mouth with boldness, to make known the secret of the gospel;

³ Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory, but, in humbleness of mind esteem each other better that yourselves: ⁴ not aiming every one at his own interests, but every one also, at the interests of the others. ⁵ Now let this disposition be in you which was also in Christ Jesus;

⁷ but divested himself, taking upon him the form of a servant, being made 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.

¹³ who has delivered us from the power of darkness, and has translated us into the kingdom of his beloved Son:

¹ If, then, you have been raised with Christ seek the things which are above, where Christ sits at the right hand of God.

¹⁴ For you, brethren, became imitators of the congregations of God which are in Judea, in Christ Jesus; because you also have suffered like things from your own countrymen, even as they have from the Jews, ¹⁵ who both killed the Lord, and the prophets, and have greatly persecuted us, and do not please God, and are contrary to all men;

⁴ For even when we were with you, we foretold you that we were to be afflicted; which also happened as you know.

⁸ But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for a helmet, the hope of salvation.

¹⁸ In everything give thanks; for this is the will of God, by Christ Jesus, concerning you.

¹³ who was formerly a defamer, and a persecutor, and an injurious person. But I received mercy, because I acted ignorantly in unbelief;

¹³ who was formerly a defamer, and a persecutor, and an injurious person. But I received mercy, because I acted ignorantly in unbelief; ¹⁴ and the favor of the Lord has superabounded, with the faith and love which is by Christ Jesus.

¹⁴ and the favor of the Lord has superabounded, with the faith and love which is by Christ Jesus. ¹⁵ This saying is true, and worthy of all reception, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am chief. ¹⁶ However, for this cause I received mercy, that in me, the chief of sinners, Jesus Christ might show forth all long-suffering, for a pattern to them who should believe on him, in order to everlasting life.

¹⁶ And, confessedly, great is the secret of godliness; -he who has manifested in the flesh, justified in the Spirit; seen of messengers, proclaimed to the Gentiles, believed on in the world, taken up in glory.

⁴ that every creature of God is good, being received with thanksgiving, and nothing is to be rejected; ⁵ for it is sanctified, by the word of God, and by prayer.

⁹ But they who will be rich, fall into temptation, and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which plunge men into destruction and perdition. ¹⁰ For the love of money is the root of all evil, which some, eagerly desiring, have wholly erred from the faith, and pierced themselves all around with many sorrows.

¹⁰ For this cause I patiently bear all things on account of the elect; that they, indeed, may obtain the salvation which is by Christ Jesus with eternal glory. ¹¹ This saying is true, that if we die with him, we shall also live with him: ¹² if we suffer patiently, we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he also will deny us.

¹² if we suffer patiently, we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he also will deny us.

¹⁸ who, concerning the truth, have erred, affirming that the resurrection has already happened, and do subvert the faith of some.

¹ Paul, a servant of God, and an Apostle of Jesus Christ, (according to the faith of God's elect, and the acknowledgment of the truth, which is according to godliness;

¹⁴ who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify to himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.

³ who, being in effulgence of his glory, and an exact representation of his character, and controlling all things by his own powerful word, after he had, by himself, made expiation for our sins, sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high;

⁶ But when he brings again the First-born into the world, he says, "Let all the angels of God worship him."

¹⁴ "Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall inherit salvation?"

¹⁷ Hence, it was necessary for him to be made like his brethren in all things; that he might be a merciful and faithful High Priest, in matters pertaining to God, in order to expiate the sins of the people; ¹⁸ for, by what he suffered himself, when tried; he is able to succor them who are tried.

¹⁵ For we have not a High Priest who can not sympathize with our weaknesses; but one who was tried in all points, according to the likeness of his nature to our ours, without sin.

⁷ He, (who, in the days of his flesh, having, with loud cries, and with tears, offered up prayers and supplications to him who was able to save him from death, and was delivered from his fear,)

²⁵ Hence, also, he is for able to save them who come to God through him; always living to make intercession for them.

¹ Now of the things which we have spoken, this is the sum: We have such a High Priest, who has taken his seat at the right hand of the Majesty in the heavens-

⁶ Besides, he has now obtained a more excellent ministry, inasmuch as he is the mediator of a better institution, which has been established upon better promises. ⁷ For if that first institution had been faultless, a place would not have been sought for a second. ⁸ But, finding fault, he says to them, "Behold, the days come, says the Lord, when I will make a new institution with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah: ⁹ not according to the institution which I made with their fathers, at the time of my taking them by the hand, to lead them out of the land of Egypt-because they did not abide in my institution, I also neglected them, says the Lord. ¹⁰ Now this is the institution which I will make with the house of Israel, after these days, says the Lord. I will put my laws into their mind, and inscribe them on their hearts, and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people. ¹¹ And they shall not teach every man his fellow-citizen, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord; for all shall know me, from the least of them to the greatest of them. ¹² Because I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities I will remember no more." ¹³ By saying, "a new institution," he has made the former old: now, that which is decaying and growing old, is ready to vanish away.

¹⁵ And, for this reason, he is mediator of the new institution, that, by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions under the first institution, those who had been called might receive the promise of the eternal inheritance.

¹⁷ for since the institution is ratified over the dead, it has no force while the instituted sacrifice lives.

¹ Moreover, the law, containing only a shadow of the good things to come, and not the very image of these things, never can, with the same sacrifices which they offer every year continually, make those who come to them, perfect. ² For then would they not have ceased to be offered: since the offerers being once purified, should not have had any more conscience of sins? ³ but, in these, there is a remembrance of sins yearly. ⁴ Besides, it is impossible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins. ⁵ Wherefore, when coming into the world, he says, "Sacrifice and offering thou hast not willed; but a body hast thou prepared me. ⁶ In whole burnt offerings, and sin offerings, thou hast no pleasure. ⁷ Then, said I, behold, I come to do thy will, O God! (In the volume of the book it is written concerning me.") ⁸ Having said above, the sacrifice, and offering; and whole burnt offerings, and sin offerings thou hast not willed, neither has pleasure in them, (which are offered according to the law,) ⁹ and then he said, "Behold, I come to do thy will." He takes away the first will, that he may establish the second. ¹⁰ By which WILL we are sanctified, through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once.

⁸ By faith, Abraham, when called to go out into a place which he should afterward receive as an inheritance, obeyed, and went out, not knowing whither he was going.

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.

¹² Wherefore, bring to their right position, the arms that hang down, and the weakened knees. ¹³ And make smooth paths for your feet, that that which is lame, may not be put out of joint, but that it may rather be healed.

¹⁵ carefully observing, lest any one come short of the favor of God; lest some bitter root springing up, trouble you, and by it many be polluted;

²⁴ and to Jesus the mediator of the new institution, and to the blood of sprinkling, which speaks better things than that of Abel.

²⁰ Now may the God of peace, who brought back from the dead our Lord Jesus, the great Shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting institution,

⁵ Hearken, beloved brethren: Has not God chosen the poor of the world-rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he has promised to them who love him?

⁵ Do you think that the scripture speaks in vain? And does the spirit, who dwells in us, strongly incline to envy? ⁶ But he gives greater favor. For it says, "God resists the proud, but gives favor to the humble."

¹ Peter, an Apostle of Jesus Christ, to the elect sojourners of the dispersion, of Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia-

⁵ who, by the power of God, are guarded through faith, to the salvation prepared to be revealed in the last time.

¹¹ searching diligently of what things, and what kind of time, the Spirit of Christ, who was in them, did signify, when he testified before the sufferings of Christ, and the glories following these-

¹³ Wherefore, having the loins of your mind girded, being vigilant, constantly hope for the gift to be brought to you, at the revelation of Jesus Christ.

¹⁰ And may the God of all favor, who has called us to his eternal glory, by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a little, himself make you complete; support, strengthen, establish you:

¹⁰ Wherefore, the rather, brethren, earnestly endeavor to make your calling and election sure; for doing these things, you shall never fall; ¹¹ and thus there shall be richly ministered to you, an entrance into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. ¹² Wherefore, I will not neglect to put you always in remembrance of these things, although you know, and are established in the present truth.

³ And through covetousness, they will make merchandise of you, by fictitious tales: to whom the punishment threatened of old lingers not, and their destruction slumbers not.

¹⁵ having forsaken the right path, they have wandered, following in the way of Balaam, the son of Bosor, who loved the wages of iniquity,

¹⁴ Wherefore, beloved, expecting these things, diligently endeavor to be found of him spotless, and irreproachable, in peace.

¹⁷ Therefore, beloved, foreknowing these things, be on your guard; lest being also carried away by the deceit of the lawless, you fall from your own steadfastness. ¹⁸ But grow in favor, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory, both now and to the day of eternity. Amen.

⁹ If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

¹ My little children, these things I write to you, that you may not sin. Yet if any one has sinned, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the Just One. ² And he is a propitiation for our sins; and not for ours only, but also for the whole world.

¹⁹ They went away from us, but they were not of us. For, if they had been of us, they would have abode with us; but they went away, that they might be made manifest that they were not of us.

⁹ I wrote to the congregation: but Diotrephes, who affects a pre-eminence among them, does not receive us. ¹⁰ For this cause, when I come, I will bring his deeds to remembrance, which he practices-prating against us with malicious words; and, not content with this, he does not himself receive the brethren, and forbids them who would, and casts them out of the congregation. ¹¹ Alas for them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and have run evidently in the error of Balaam's hire, and have perished in the rebellion of Korah.

⁵ Remember, therefore, from what you are fallen, and reform, and do the first works, otherwise I will come to you quickly, and take away your lamp out of its place, unless you reform.

²⁶ And as for him that conquers, and keeps my works to the end, I will give him power over the nations: ²⁷ and he shall rule them with a rod of iron, they shall be dashed in pieces like a potter's vessel: as I have also received of my Father.

¹⁰ Because you have kept the word of my patience, I will also keep you from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try the inhabitants of the earth.

²⁰ Behold, I stand at the door and knock: if any one hear my voice, and open the door, I will enter into his house, and will sup with him, and he with me. ²¹ As for the conqueror, I will give him to sit down with me upon my throne; as I also have conquered, and sat down with my Father upon his throne.

⁴ And round about the throne there were twenty-four thrones; and on the thrones, twenty-four elders sitting, clothed with white apparel; and upon their heads golden crowns.

⁹ And thus the great dragon was cast out; even the old serpent called the Devil, and Satan, who deceives the world, was cast out to the earth; and his angels were cast out with him. ¹⁰ And I heard a great voice saying, in heaven, Now is come the salvation, and the power, and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Christ; because the accuser of our brethren is cast out, who accused them before our God day and night.

¹⁰ And I heard a great voice saying, in heaven, Now is come the salvation, and the power, and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Christ; because the accuser of our brethren is cast out, who accused them before our God day and night. ¹¹ And they have overcome him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives to the death. ¹² Therefore, rejoice you heavens, and you who inhabit them. But woe to those who inhabit the earth and the sea; for the devil is come down to you, having great wrath, because he knows that he has but a short time.

⁹ And he said to me, Write-Happy are they who are invited to the marriage supper of the Lamb! And he said to me, These are the true words of God.

¹⁴ And the wall of the city had twelve foundations; and on them the names of the twelve Apostles of the Lamb.

¹ And he showed me a river of water of life, clear as crystal, issuing out of the throne of God, and of the Lamb.
