⁹ Nevertheless, if you warn the wicked man of his way to turn from it and he does not turn from his way, he will die in his iniquity, but you have delivered your soul.

⁹ And I say to you, Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will be finding; knock and it will be opened to you. ¹⁰ For everyone who asks, receives; and he who is seeking, finds; and to the one who knocks, it will be opened. ¹¹ Now which father of you will the son ask for a loaf; he will not be giving him a stone, will he? Or also a fish, he will not giving him a serpent instead of a fish, will he? ¹² Or if he asks for an egg, he will not be giving him a scorpion, will he? ¹³ Therefore if you, being evil, know how to give good presents to your children, how much more will your Father from heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him?

⁶ But the Lord said, Hear with understanding what the judge of the unrighteousness says about himself.
⁷ Now, should God not do the avenging of his chosen who are crying to him day and night? Also, should he not have patience upon them?
⁸ I say to you, that he will be doing the avenging on them quickly.
However, when the Son of Man comes, will he then be finding the faith upon the earth?

³⁹ And those who precede were rebuking him, in order that he should be silent, but he was crying out much more, Son of David, show-mercy to me!

³¹ and says, Cornelius, your prayer is heard and your charity is remembered in God’s sight.

¹⁰ And they cried with a loud voice, saying, Until when, O holy and true Master, do you not judge and avenge our blood from those who dwell upon the earth?

²³ And you will eat before Jehovah your God, in the place which he will choose to cause his name to dwell there, the tithe of your grain, of your new wine and of your oil and the first-offspring of your herd and of your flock, that you may learn to fear Jehovah your God always.
²⁴ And if the way is too long for you, so that you are not able to carry it, because the place is too far from you, which Jehovah your God will choose to set his name there when Jehovah your God will bless you, ²⁵ then you will turn it into money and bind up the money in your hand and will go to the place which Jehovah your God will choose. ²⁶ And you will bestow the money for whatever your soul desires, for oxen, or for sheep, or for wine, or for strong drink, or for whatever your soul asks of you. And you will eat there before Jehovah your God and you will rejoice, you and your household.
²⁷ And the Levite who is within your gates, you will not forsake him, for he has no portion nor inheritance with you. ²⁸ At the end of every three years you will bring forth all the tithe of your increase in the same year and will lay it up within your gates.
²⁹ And the Levite, because he has no portion nor inheritance with you and the traveler and the fatherless and the widow, who are within your gates, will come and will eat and be satisfied, that Jehovah your God may bless you in all the work of your hand which you do.

¹¹ And you will rejoice before Jehovah your God, you and your son and your daughter and your man-servant and your maid-servant and the Levite who is within your gates and the traveler and the fatherless and the widow, who are in the midst of you, in the place which Jehovah your God will choose to cause his name to dwell there,

¹⁴ And you will rejoice in your feast, you and your son and your daughter and your man-servant and your maid-servant and the Levite and the traveler and the fatherless and the widow, who are within your gates.

¹⁵ And Moses built an altar and called the name of it Jehovah-nissi.

¹⁰ And there will be a root of Jesse in that day and he who arises to rule over the Gentiles. In him will the Gentiles hope and his resting place will be glorious.

¹² And he will set up an ensign for the nations and will assemble the outcasts of Israel and gather together the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth.

¹⁶ And there will be a highway for the remnant of his people, who will remain, from Assyria, like as there was for Israel in the day that he came up out of the land of Egypt.

³ All you* inhabitants of the world and you* dwellers on the earth, when an ensign is lifted up on the mountains, see you* and when the trumpet is blown, hear you*.

³ The voice of a man crying out in the wilderness, Prepare the way of Jehovah, make straight in the desert a highway for our God.

²⁰ Go forth from Babylon. Flee from the Chaldeans. With a voice of singing declare, tell this, utter it even to the end of the earth. Say you*, Jehovah has redeemed his servant Jacob.

²² The lord Jehovah says thus: Behold, I will lift up my hand to the nations and set up my ensign to the peoples. And they will bring your sons in their bosom and your daughters will be carried upon their shoulders.

¹¹ Depart, depart, go out from there. Touch no unclean thing. Go out of the midst of her. Cleanse yourselves, you* who bear the vessels of Jehovah.

¹⁴ And he will say, Cast you* up, cast you* up, prepare the way. Take up the stumbling-block out of the way of my people.

⁹ Therefore, travel on the thoroughfares of the roads, and as many as you may find, invite to the marriage-feast.

¹³ and make^*\'b0 straightened tracks for your feet, in order that what is lame may not be turned aside, but rather should be healed.

⁹ O you who tell good news to Zion, get up on a high mountain. O you who tell good news to Jerusalem, lift up your voice with strength. Lift it up, do not be afraid, say to the cities of Judah, Behold, your* God!
¹⁰ Behold, the lord Jehovah will come as a mighty one and his arm will rule for him. Behold, his reward is with him and his recompense before him.

⁴ But I said, I have labored in vain. I have spent my strength for nothing and vanity. Yet surely the justice due to me is with Jehovah and my recompense with my God.

⁹ Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion. Shout, O daughter of Jerusalem. Behold, your king comes to you. He is just and having salvation, lowly and riding upon a donkey, even upon a colt the foal of a donkey.

⁵ ‘Say to the daughter of Zion, Behold, your King is coming to you, meek and has been mounted upon a donkey and a colt, the son of a donkey.’

¹⁵ And he said to them, When you travel into all the world, preach the good-news to all creation.

¹⁵ ‘Do not fear, daughter of Zion. Behold, your King is coming, sitting upon a donkey’s colt.’

¹¹ For the Scripture says, ‘Everyone who believes on him will not be ashamed.’ ¹² For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, being rich toward all who are calling upon him; ¹³ for everyone, ‘Whomever calls upon the name of the Lord will be saved.’ ¹⁴ Therefore how will they call upon him in whom they have not believed? But how will they believe of whom they have not heard? But how will they hear without someone preaching? ¹⁵ But how will they preach, if they are not sent? Just-as it has been written, ‘How Beautiful are the feet of those who are proclaiming the good-news of peace and of those who are proclaiming the good-news of good things!’ ¹⁶ But not all obeyed the good-news; for Isaiah says, ‘Lord, who has believed our report?’ ¹⁷ Consequently, the faith comes from our report but our report comes through the declaration of God. ¹⁸ But I am saying, ‘Did they not hear?’But-rather, ‘Their sounds went out into all the earth and their declarations to the ends of the inhabited-earth.’

¹² Behold, I am coming shortly, and my reward is with me, to give to each one as his work will be.

⁶ For you are a holy people to Jehovah your God. Jehovah your God has chosen you to be a people for his own possession, above all peoples that are upon the face of the earth.

¹⁹ and to make you high above all nations that he has made, in praise and in name and in honor and that you may be a holy people to Jehovah your God, as he has spoken.

⁹ Jehovah will establish you for a holy people to himself, as he has sworn to you, if you will keep the commandments of Jehovah your God and walk in his ways.

² Let the redeemed of Jehovah say so, whom he has redeemed from the hand of the adversary,

⁹ No lion will be there, nor will any ravenous beast go up in it. They will not be found there. But the redeemed will walk there.

¹⁶ And I will bring the blind by a way that they do not know. I will lead them in paths that they do not know. I will make darkness light before them and crooked places straight. These things I will do and I will not forsake them.

²¹ Your people also will all be righteous. They will inherit the land everlasting, the branch of my planting, the work of my hands, that I may be glorified.

¹ I was manifested by those who did not ask for me. I am found by those who did not seek me. I said, Behold me, behold me, to a nation that was not called by my name.

¹¹ For thus says the lord Jehovah: Behold, I myself, even I, will search for my sheep and will seek them out. ¹² As a shepherd seeks out his flock, in the day that he is among his sheep that are scattered abroad, so I will seek out my sheep and I will deliver them out of all places where they have been scattered in the cloudy and dark day.
¹³ And I will bring them out from the peoples and gather them from the countries and will bring them into their own land. And I will feed them upon the mountains of Israel, by the watercourses and in all the inhabited places of the country. ¹⁴ I will feed them with good pasture and their fold will be upon the mountains of the height of Israel. There they will lie down in a good fold and on fat pasture they will feed upon the mountains of Israel.
¹⁵ I myself will be the shepherd of my sheep and I will cause them to lie down, says the lord Jehovah. ¹⁶ I will seek what was lost and will bring back what was driven away and will bind up what was broken and will strengthen what was sick, but I will destroy the fat and the strong. I will feed them in justice.

¹⁸ But I also say to you, that you are ^{F} Peter and upon this, the rock, I will be building my congregation of believers, and the gates of Hades will not be prevailing against her.

¹⁰ See that you do not despise one of these little ones; for I say to you, that in the heavens their messengers are always looking at the face of my Father who is in the heavens. ¹¹ For the Son of Man came to save what has been lost.

{Similar: Mat 18:12-14, Luk 15:3-7}
¹² What are you thinking? If there should happen to be any man who has a hundred sheep, and one out of them might be misled, does he not leave the ninety nine and travel on the mountains, and seek the one which is misled? ¹³ And if he happens to find it, assuredly I am saying to you, He rejoices over it more than over the ninety nine which have not been misled.

²⁰ teaching them to observe all things, as many things as I have commanded you, and behold, I am with you all the days until the end of the earth.
Amen.

⁴ What man out of you, having a hundred sheep and having lost one out of them, does not leave the ninety nine in the wilderness and travel to what has been lost, until he should find it? ⁵ And having found it, he places it upon his own shoulders, rejoicing.

¹⁰ For the Son of Man came to seek and save what has been lost.

²³ But the hour is coming and now is, when the true worshipers will be worshiping the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father also is seeking such who are worshiping him.

¹⁶ And I have other sheep, which are not out of this pen; it is also essential for me to lead those and they will be hearing my voice and there will become one flock, only one shepherd.

¹⁸ knowing that you were redeemed from your futile conduct handed down from your forefathers not with corruptible things like with silver or with gold. ¹⁹ But like that of an unblemished and unstained lamb, you were redeemed by the precious blood of Christ,

⁹ And they are singing a new song, saying, You are worthy to take the book and to open its seals, because you were slaughtered and bought us in your blood for God out of every tribe and language and people and nation.
