²² My God has sent His Angel, and has shut the lions' mouths, and they have not hurt me, because before Him purity was found in me.

So Daniel was taken up out of the den, and no kind of hurt was found on him, because he trusted in his God. ²⁴ And the king commanded, and they brought those men who had accused Daniel, and they threw them into the lions' den; them, their sons, and their wives. And the lions overpowered them and broke all their bones in pieces before they came to the bottom of the den.

² You who hate the good and love the evil; who pull their skin off them, and their flesh from their bones; ³ who also eat the flesh of My people, and strip their skin off them. And they break their bones and chop them in pieces, like that in the pot, like those in the middle of the kettle.

³⁷ And He took Peter and the two sons of Zebedee with Him, and He began to be sorrowful and very heavy. ³⁸ Then He said to them, My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death. Wait here and watch with Me.

² And behold, a great earthquake occurred! For coming down from Heaven, and coming up, an angel of the Lord rolled back the stone from the door and was sitting on it. ³ His countenance was like lightning, and his clothing white as snow. ⁴ And the keepers shook for fear of him and became like dead men. ⁵ And the angel answered and said to the women, Do not fear, for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified. ⁶ He is not here, for He has risen, as He said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.

³⁴ Jerusalem! Jerusalem! the one killing the prophets, and stoning those having been sent to her; how often I desired to gather your children in the way a hen gathers her brood under the wings, and you did not desire it.

¹⁷ For the Law came through Moses, but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.

¹⁰ Jesus answered and said to her, If you knew the gift of God, and who it is that says to you, Give Me to drink, you would have asked of Him, and He would have given you living water. ¹¹ The woman said to Him, Sir, you have no vessel, and the well is deep. From where then do you have that living water?

²⁰ Truly, truly, I say to you that you will weep and lament, but the world will rejoice. And you will be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy.

²⁶ Therefore my heart rejoiced and my tongue was glad; and also My flesh shall rest in hope,

¹¹ And having come to himself, Peter said, Now I know surely that the Lord has sent His angel and has delivered me out of the hand of Herod, and from all the expectation of the people of the Jews.

³ And not only this, but we glory in afflictions also, knowing that afflictions work out patience,

⁹ and that the nations might glorify God for His mercy, as it is written, "For this cause I will confess to You in the nations, and I will praise Your name."

²⁰ always giving thanks for all things to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ,

⁶ being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ,

¹² Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, cultivate your own salvation with fear and trembling.

¹⁷ In this way desiring to declare more fully to the heirs of promise the immutability of His counsel, God interposed by an oath, ¹⁸ so that by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us,

²¹ make you perfect in every good work to do His will, working in you that which is well pleasing in His sight through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen.

⁶ And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity. So the tongue is set among our members, spotting all the body and inflaming the course of nature, and being inflamed by hell.

¹⁰ My brothers, take the prophets who have spoken in the name of the Lord, for an example of suffering ill, and of patience. ¹¹ Behold, we count blessed those who endure. You have heard of the patience of Job, and you have seen the end of the Lord, that the Lord is full of pity and of tender mercy.

¹⁴ And I said to him, Sir, you know. And he said to me, These are the ones who came out of the great tribulation and have washed their robes, and have whitened them in the blood of the Lamb.

³ And they sing the song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and marvelous are Your works, Lord God Almighty, just and true are Your ways, O King of saints. ⁴ Who shall not fear You, O Lord, and glorify Your name? For You only are holy. For all nations shall come and worship before You, for Your righteousnesses were made known.

¹⁵ And out of His mouth goes a sharp sword, so that with it He should strike the nations. And He will shepherd them with a rod of iron. And He treads the winepress of the wine of the anger and of the wrath of Almighty God.

⁴ And God will wipe away all tears from their eyes. And there will be no more death, nor mourning, nor crying out, nor will there be any more pain; for the first things passed away.
