Behold, my servants shall drink, but ye shall suffer thirst. Behold, my servants shall be merry, but ye shall be confounded. ¹⁴ Behold, my servants shall rejoice for very quietness of heart: But ye shall cry for sorrow of heart, and complain for vexation of mind. ¹⁵ Your name shall not be sworn by among my chosen, for God the LORD shall slay you, and call his servants by another name. ¹⁶ Whoso rejoiceth upon earth, shall rejoice in the true God: And whoso sweareth upon earth, shall swear in the true God.

¹³ And now, though ye have done all these deeds, sayeth the LORD, and I myself rose up ever betimes to warn you and to commune with you, yet would ye not hear me: I called, ye would not answer.

⁶ For I have looked, and considered: but there is no man that speaketh a good word. There is no man that taketh repentance for his sin, that will so much as say, 'Wherefore have I done this?' But every man, as soon as he is turned back, runneth forth still, like a wild horse in a battle.

⁵ Thus sayeth the LORD, "Cursed be the man that putteth his trust in man, and that taketh flesh for his arm: and he, whose heart departeth from the LORD. ⁶ He shall be like the heath that groweth in the wilderness.

³⁹ Go now then, sayeth the LORD God: ye house of Israel, cast away, and destroy every man his Idols. Then shall ye hear me, and no more blaspheme my holy name with your offerings and Idols.

¹⁵ Well, be ready hereafter, when ye hear the noise of the trumpets blow with the harps, shawmes psalteries, symphonies and all the other melodies: that ye fall down, and worship the Image which I have made.

² As for your mother, ye shall chide with her, and reprove her: for she is not my wife, neither am I her husband, unless she put away her whoredoms out of my sight, and her adultery from her breasts. ³ If no, I shall strip her naked, and set her, even as she came into the world. Yea, I shall lay her waste, and make her like a wilderness, and slay her for thirst. ⁴ I shall have no pity also upon her children, for they be the children of fornication.

And thus have ye made, that the commandment of God is without effect, through your traditions. ⁷ Hypocrites; well prophesied of you Isaiah, saying, ⁸ 'This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouths, and honoureth me with their lips, howbeit their hearts are far from me:

²⁵ Whom, because he had nought to pay, his Master commanded him to be sold: and his wife, and his children, and all that he had; and payment to be made.

¹³ Then said the King to his ministers, 'Take and bind him hand and foot, and cast him into utter darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.'

⁴⁶ And none of them could answer him again one word. Neither durst any from that day forth, ask him any more questions.

¹³ Woe be unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven before men: ye yourselves go not in, neither suffer ye them that come to enter in. ¹⁴ Woe be unto you, scribes and Pharisees, for ye devour widows' houses: and that, under a colour of praying long prayers, wherefore ye shall receive greater damnation. ¹⁵ Woe be unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, for ye which compass sea and land, to bring one into your belief: and when he is brought, ye make him twofold more the child of hell, than ye yourselves are. ¹⁶ Woe be unto you, blind guides, for ye which say, 'Whosoever swear by the temple, it is nothing: but whosoever swear by the gold of the temple, he offendeth.' ¹⁷ Ye fools and blind: whether is greater; the gold, or the temple that sanctifieth the gold? ¹⁸ And, 'Whosoever sweareth by the altar it is nothing: but whosoever sweareth by the offering that lieth on the altar offendeth.' ¹⁹ Ye fools and blind: whether is greater; the offering, or the altar which sanctifieth the offering? ²⁰ Whosoever therefore sweareth by the altar, sweareth by it, and by all that thereon is. ²¹ And whosoever sweareth by the temple, sweareth by it, and by him that dwelleth therein. ²² And he that sweareth by heaven, sweareth by the seat of God, and by him that sitteth thereon. ²³ Woe be to you scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, for ye which tithe mint, anise, and cumin, and leave the weightier matters of the law undone: judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to have left the other undone. ²⁴ Ye blind guides, which strain out a gnat, and swallow a camel. ²⁵ Woe be to you scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, for ye which make clean the outer side of the cup, and of the platter: but within they are full of bribery and excess. ²⁶ Thou blind Pharisee, cleanse first, that the inside of the cup and the platter, that the outside of them may also be clean. ²⁷ Woe be to you scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, for ye are like unto painted tombs which appear beautiful outwards: but are within full of dead men's bones and of all filthiness. ²⁸ So are ye, for outward ye appear righteous unto men, when within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity. ²⁹ Woe be unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, for ye build the tombs of the prophets, and garnish the sepulchers of the righteous ³⁰ and say, 'If we had been in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partners with them in the blood of the prophets.' ³¹ So then: ye be witnesses unto yourselves, that ye are the children of them, which killed the prophets. ³² Fulfill ye likewise the measure of your fathers: ³³ ye serpents and generation of vipers, how should ye escape the damnation of hell? ³⁴ "Wherefore, Behold, I send unto you prophets, wise men, and scribes. And of them: some shall ye kill and crucify, and some of them shall ye scourge in your synagogues, and persecute from city to city; ³⁵ that upon you may come all the righteous blood that was shed upon the earth: from the blood of righteous Abel, unto the blood of Zachariah the son of Barachiah, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar: ³⁶ Verily I say unto you, all these things shall light upon this generation.

³⁹ And he went away a little apart, and fell flat on his face, and prayed, saying, "O my father, if it possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless, not as I will, but as thou wilt."

⁶⁷ Then spat they in his face, and buffeted him with their fists. And others smote him with the palm of their hands on the face,

²⁶ Then let he Barabbas loose unto them, and scourged Jesus, and delivered him to be crucified.

³⁰ and spitted upon him, and took the reed and smote him on the head.

⁴⁵ From the sixth hour, was there darkness over all the land unto the ninth hour.

³⁹ And he rose up and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, "Peace and be still." And the wind allayed, and there followed a great calm:

⁴ And they said, "Moses suffered to write a testimonial of her divorcement, and to put her away." ⁵ And Jesus answered, and said unto them, "For the hardness of your hearts he wrote this precept unto you. ⁶ But at the first creation, God made them man and woman, saying, ⁷ 'And for this thing's sake shall man leave his father and mother, and bide by his wife, ⁸ and they twain shall be made one flesh.' So then are they now not twain, but one flesh. ⁹ Therefore, what God hath coupled, let not man separate." ¹⁰ And in the house his disciples asked him again of that matter. ¹¹ And he said unto them, "Whosoever putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, breaketh wedlock to her-ward. ¹² And if a woman forsake her husband, and be married to another, she committeth adultery."

⁶⁵ And some began to spit at him, and to cover his face, and to beat him with their fists, and to say unto him, "Aread unto us." And the servants buffeted him on the face.

¹⁹ And they smote him on the head with a reed, and spat upon him, and kneeled down and worshipped him.

²² And all they bare him witness, and wondered at the gracious words, which proceeded out of his mouth, and said, "Is not this Joseph's son?"

⁵¹ And it followed, when the time was come that he should be received up, then he set his face to go to Jerusalem:

³⁹ And the Lord said to him, "Now do ye, O Pharisees, make clean the outside of the cup, and of the platter: but your inward parts are full of ravening and wickedness. ⁴⁰ Ye fools: did not he that made that which is without, make that which is within also? ⁴¹ Nevertheless, ye give alms of that ye have, and behold: all is clean to you. ⁴² But woe be to you Pharisees: for ye tithe the mint, and rue, and all manner herbs; and pass over judgment, and the love of God. These ought ye to have done, and yet not to have left the other undone. ⁴³ Woe be to you Pharisees: for ye love the uppermost seats in the synagogues, and greetings in the markets. ⁴⁴ Woe be to you scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, for ye are as graves which appear not; And the men that walk over them, are not aware of them." ⁴⁵ Then answered one of the lawyers, and said unto him, "Master, thus saying, thou puttest us to rebuke also." ⁴⁶ Then he said, "Woe be to you also ye lawyers: for ye lade men with burdens grievous to be born, and ye yourselves touch not the packs with one of your fingers. ⁴⁷ Woe be to you that build the sepulchers of the prophets: for your fathers killed them: ⁴⁸ Truly ye bear witness, that ye allow the deeds of your fathers: for they killed them, and ye build their sepulchers. ⁴⁹ "Therefore said the wisdom of God: I will send them prophets and apostles, and of them they shall slay and persecute: ⁵⁰ That the blood of all prophets, which was shed from the beginning of the world, may be required of this generation, ⁵¹ from the blood of Abel unto the blood of Zacharias, which perished between the altar and the temple. Verily I say unto you, It shall be required of this nation. ⁵² Woe be to you lawyers: for ye have taken away the key of knowledge, ye entered not in yourselves, and them that came in ye forbade." ⁵³ When he thus spake unto them, the lawyers and the Pharisees began to wax busy about him, and to stop his mouth with many questions; ⁵⁴ Laying wait for him, and seeking to catch something of his mouth, whereby they might accuse him.

¹⁵ For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, where against all your adversaries shall not be able to speak nor resist.

⁶³ And the men that stood about Jesus, mocked him, and smote him, ⁶⁴ and blindfolded him, and smote his face. And asked him, saying, "Aread who it is that smote thee?"

¹¹ He came among his own, and his own received him not.

¹⁹ And this is the condemnation: that light is come into the world, and the men have loved darkness more than light, because their deeds were evil.

¹⁵ And the Jews marveled, saying, "How knoweth he the scriptures, seeing that he never learned?" ¹⁶ Jesus answered them, and said, "My doctrine is not mine: but his that sent me. ¹⁷ If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God: or whether I speak of myself.

⁴⁶ The servants answered, "Never man spake as this man doeth."

¹² Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, "I am the light of the world. He that followeth me shall not walk in darkness: but shall have the light of life."

²⁴ I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins. For except ye believe that I am he, ye shall die in your sins."

²⁹ And he that sent me is with me. The father hath not left me alone; For I do always those things that please him."

³⁹ Jesus said, "I am come unto judgment, into this world: that they which see not, might see, and they which see might be made blind."

⁴⁶ I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness:

³¹ But that the world may know that I love the father; Therefore as the father gave me commandment, even so do I. Rise, let us go hence."

¹⁰ If ye shall keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love: even as I have kept my father's commandments, and abide in his love.

³³ These words have I spoken unto you that in me ye might have peace. For in the world shall ye have tribulation: but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world."

²² When he had thus spoken, one of the ministers which stood by, smote Jesus on the face saying, "Answerest thou the high priest so?"

¹⁹ "Wherefore king Agrippa, I was not disobedient unto the heavenly vision:

¹⁶ For I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ, because it is the power of God unto salvation to all that believe; namely to the Jew, and also to the gentile.

²¹ inasmuch as when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful: but waxed full of vanities in their imaginations. And their foolish hearts were blinded. ²² When they counted themselves wise, they became fools

³² Which spared not his own son, but gave him for us all: How shall he not with him give us all things also? ³³ Who shall lay anything to the charge of God's chosen? It is God that justifieth: ³⁴ who then shall condemn? It is Christ which is dead; Yea rather which is risen again, which is also on the righthand of God and maketh intercession for us.

³ For they are ignorant of the righteousness which is allowed before God, and go about to establish their own righteousness: and therefore, are not obedient unto the righteousness which is of value before God.

⁸ Brethren, I would not have you ignorant of our trouble, which happened unto us in Asia. For we were grieved out of measure passing strength, so greatly that we despaired even of life. ⁹ Also we received an answer of death in ourselves, and that was done because we should not put our trust in ourselves, but in God, which raiseth the dead to life again - ¹⁰ and which delivered us from so great a death, and doth deliver — on whom we trust, that yet hereafter he will deliver us,

⁸ He humbled himself and became obedient unto the death, even the death of the cross.

⁸ in flaming fire, rendering vengeance unto them that know not God, and to them that obey not unto the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ, ⁹ which shall be punished with everlasting damnation, from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power,

¹⁶ And without nay, great is that mystery of godliness. God was showed in the flesh, was justified in the spirit, was seen of angels, was preached unto the gentiles, was believed on in earth and received up in glory.

¹¹ They shall perish, but thou shalt endure. They all shall wax old as doth a garment: ¹² and as a vesture shalt thou change them, and they shall be changed: but thou art always, and thy years shall not fail."

⁸ And though he were God's son, yet learned he obedience, by those things which he suffered, ⁹ and was made perfect, and the cause of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him:

⁵ Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, "Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not have: but a body hast thou ordained me. ⁶ In sacrifices and sin offerings thou hast no lust. ⁷ Then I said, 'Lo I come.' In the chiefest of the book it is written of me, that I should do thy will, o God." ⁸ Above when he had said, "sacrifice, and offering, and burnt sacrifices, and sin offerings thou wouldest not have, neither hast allowed" — which yet are offered by the law - ⁹ And then he said, "Lo I am come to do thy will o God." He taketh away the first to establish the latter.

² looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, which for the joy that was set before him, abode the cross, and despised the shame, and is set down on the righthand of the throne of God.

⁶ That we may boldly say, "The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man doeth unto me."

⁶ and the tongue is fire, and a world of wickedness. So is the tongue set among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth afire all that we have of nature, and is itself set afire, even of hell.

¹ Forasmuch as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he which suffereth in the flesh ceaseth from sin,

¹⁶ If any man suffer as a Christian man, let him not be ashamed: but let him glorify God on his behalf.

⁷ Cast all your care to him: for he careth for you.

¹² And I beheld when he opened the sixth seal, and lo there was a great earthquake, and the sun was as black as sackcloth made of hair. And the moon waxed even as blood:

¹⁰ And I heard a loud voice saying, "In heaven is now made salvation and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: For he is cast down which accused them before God day and night:

²⁰ And the beast was taken, and with him that false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that received the beast's mark, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast into a pond of fire burning with brimstone:

¹⁵ And whosoever was not found written in the book of life, was cast into the lake of fire.
