Matthew 22 Cross References - Murdock

¹ And Jesus answered again by similitudes, and said: ² The kingdom of heaven is like to a royal person, who made a feast for his son. ³ And he sent his servants to call those that had been invited, to the feast: and they would not come. ⁴ And again he sent other servants, and said: Tell those invited, Behold, my entertainment is prepared, my oxen and my fatlings are slain, and every thing is prepared; come ye to the feast. ⁵ But they showed contempt, and went away, one to his farm, and another to his merchandise; ⁶ and the rest seized his servants, and abused them, and slew them. ⁷ And when the king heard of it, he was angry; and he sent his military forces, and destroyed those murderers, and burned their city. ⁸ Then said he to his servants, The feast is prepared, but they who were invited were unworthy. ⁹ Go ye therefore to the terminations of the streets; and as many as ye find, bid to the feast. ¹⁰ And those servants went out into the streets, and collected all they found, both bad and good; and the place of feasting was filled with guests. ¹¹ And the king went in to see the guests: and he saw there a man who was not clad in the festal garments. ¹² And he said to him: My friend, how camest thou here without the festal robes? But he was silent. ¹³ Then said the king to the servitors: Bind his hands and his feet, and cast him into the outer darkness: there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. ¹⁴ For the called are many, and the chosen are few. ¹⁵ Then went the Pharisees and took counsel, how they might ensnare him in discourse. ¹⁶ And they sent to him their disciples, with domestics of Herod, and said to him: Teacher, we know that thou art veracious, and teachest the way of God with truth, regardless of man, for thou hast no respect of persons. ¹⁷ Tell us, therefore, how doth it appear to thee: is it lawful to pay capitation money to Caesar, or not? ¹⁸ But Jesus knew their wickedness, and said: Why tempt ye me, ye hypocrites? ¹⁹ Show me a denarius of the capitation money.

He saith to them: Give then Caesar's things to Caesar, and God's things to God. ²² And when they heard it they were surprised: and they left him, and went away. ²³ The same day came Sadducees, and said to him: There is no life of the dead. And they questioned him, ²⁴ and said to him: Teacher; Moses commanded us, that if a man should die childless, his brother must take his wife and raise up seed to his brother. ²⁵ Now there were with us seven brothers. The first took a wife, and deceased; and, as he had no children, he left his wife to his brother. ²⁶ In like manner also the second, and the third, and up to the whole seven. ²⁷ And after them all, the woman also herself died. ²⁸ In the resurrection, therefore, to which of those seven will she be the wife? For they all had taken her? ²⁹ Jesus answered, and said to them: Ye do err, from not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God. ³⁰ For in the resurrection of the dead, they do not take wives, nor are wives given to husbands; but they are as the angels of God in heaven. ³¹ But as to the resurrection of the dead,: have ye not read what was spoken to you by God, who said: ³² I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, the God of Jacob? Now he is not the God of the dead, but of the living. ³³ And when the multitude heard it they were astonished at his doctrine. ³⁴ And when the Pharisees heard that he had put the Sadducees to silence, they assembled together; ³⁵ and one of them, who was expert in the law, to tempt him, inquired: ³⁶ Teacher, which is the great command in the law? ³⁷ Jesus said to him: Thou shalt love the Lord thy God, with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might, and with all thy mind. ³⁸ This is the great and first command. ³⁹ And the second, which is like it, is, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. ⁴⁰ On these two commands hang the law and the prophets. ⁴¹ And while the Pharisees were assembled, Jesus questioned them, ⁴² and said: What say ye respecting, the Messiah? Whose son is he? They say to him; The son of David. ⁴³ He saith to them: How then doth David, by the Spirit, call him Lord? for he said: ⁴⁴ The Lord said to my Lord, Seat thyself at my right hand, until I place thy enemies under thy feet. ⁴⁵ If David then call him Lord, how is he his son? ⁴⁶ And no one was able to give him an answer? And from that day, no one dared to question him.

¹¹ And into whatever city or town ye enter, inquire, who in it is worthy; and there stay until ye depart. ¹² And when ye enter a house, salute the household.

¹² And when ye enter a house, salute the household. ¹³ And if the house be worthy, your peace will come upon it; but if it be not worthy, your peace will return upon yourselves.

¹³ And if the house be worthy, your peace will come upon it; but if it be not worthy, your peace will return upon yourselves. ¹⁴ And whoever will not receive you, nor hear your discourses, when ye depart from that house or that town, shake off the dust from your feet. ¹⁵ Verily I say to you, that it will be comfortable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment, rather than for that city. ¹⁶ Behold, I send you forth as sheep among wolves. Therefore be ye sagacious as serpents, and guileless as doves.

¹⁶ Behold, I send you forth as sheep among wolves. Therefore be ye sagacious as serpents, and guileless as doves. ¹⁷ And beware of men; for they will deliver you over to the tribunals, and will scourge you in their synagogues. ¹⁸ And they will bring you before governors and kings, on my account, for a testimony to them and to the Gentiles.

So will it be to this evil generation.

³ An he discoursed with them much, by similitudes. And he said, Behold, a sower went forth to sow. ⁴ And as he sowed, some seed fell upon the side of a path: and a bird came and devoured it. ⁵ And other seed fell upon a rock, so that it had not much soil: and it sprung up forthwith, because there was no depth of earth. ⁶ But when the sun was up it wilted. And, because it lacked root, it dried up. ⁷ And other seed fell among thorns: and the thorns shot up, and choked it. ⁸ And other seed fell on good ground; and bore fruits, some a hundredfold, some sixtyfold, and some thirtyfold. ⁹ He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. ¹⁰ And his disciples came and said to him, Why discoursest thou to them in similitudes? ¹¹ And he answered, and said to them: Because, to you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.

²² And that which was sowed among thorns, is he that heareth the word; and care for this world and the deceptiveness of riches, choke the word; and he is without fruits.

²⁴ Another similitude he proposed to them, and said: The kingdom of heaven is like to a man who sowed good seed in his field.

³⁰ Let them both grow together until the harvest; and at the time of harvest, I will say to the reapers, Gather out first the tares, and bind them in bundles to be burned; but the wheat gather ye into my granary. ³¹ Another similitude proposed he to them, and said: The kingdom of heaven is like to a kernel of mustard seed, which a man took and sowed in his field. ³² And this is the least of all seeds; but when it is grown, it is greater than all the herbs, and becometh a tree, so that a bird of heaven may come and nestle in its branches. ³³ Another similitude spake he to them, The kingdom of heaven is like the leaven, which a woman took and buried in three measures of meal, until the whole fermented.

Ye hypocrites, ye are intelligent to discover the aspect of the heavens, but the signs of this time ye have no skill to discern. ⁴ A wicked and adulterous generation asketh for a sign; but no sign shall be given it, but the sign of the prophet Jonah. And he left them, and departed.

⁶ And he said to them: Take heed, and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the Sadducees.

¹¹ How is it that ye do not understand that it was not concerning bread that I spoke to you; but that ye should beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees? ¹² Then understood they, that he did not bid them beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees. ¹³ And when Jesus came into the region of Caesarea Philippi, he questioned his disciples, and said: What do men say concerning me, that I the Son of man, am? ¹⁴ And they said: Some say that thou art John the Baptizer; but others, Elijah; and others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets. ¹⁵ He said to them: But, who do ye yourselves say that I am? ¹⁶ Simon Cephas answered and said: Thou art the Messiah, the Son of the living God. ¹⁷ Jesus answered, and said to him: Blessed art thou, Simon son of Jonas; for flesh and blood have not revealed it to thee, but my Father who is in heaven.

²⁵ He said to them, Yes. And when Cephas had entered the house, Jesus anticipated him and said to him: How doth it appear to thee, Simon? The kings of the earth, of whom do they receive tribute and capitation money? of their children, or of aliens?

²⁵ He said to them, Yes. And when Cephas had entered the house, Jesus anticipated him and said to him: How doth it appear to thee, Simon? The kings of the earth, of whom do they receive tribute and capitation money? of their children, or of aliens? ²⁶ Simon said to him: Of aliens. Jesus said to him: Then the children are free. ²⁷ But still, lest they be stumbled with us, go thou to the sea and cast in a fish-hook, and the fish that shall first come up, open its mouth, and thou wilt find a stater that take, and give for me and for thyself.

¹ For the kingdom of heaven is like a man, the lord of a house, who went out, at dawn of day, to hire laborers for his vineyard. ² And he contracted with the labors for a denarius a day: and sent them into his vineyard.

² And he contracted with the labors for a denarius a day: and sent them into his vineyard. ³ And he went out at the third hour, and saw others standing idle in the market-place: ⁴ and he said to them, Go ye also into my vineyard, and what is right I will give you; ⁵ and they went. And again he went out at the sixth and ninth hours, and did the same. ⁶ And about the eleventh hour, he went out and found others who were standing and idle; and he said to them: Why stand ye all the day, and are idle? ⁷ They say to him, Because no one hath hired us. He saith to them: Go ye also into the vineyard; and what is right ye shall receive. ⁸ And when it was evening, the lord of the vineyard said to his steward: Call the laborers, and give them their wages; and commence with the last, and proceed to the first. ⁹ And those of the eleventh hour came, and received each a denarius. ¹⁰ And when the first came, they supposed they should receive more; but they also received each a denarius. ¹¹ And when they received it, they murmured against the lord of the house, ¹² and said: These last have labored but one hour, and thou hast made them equal with us who have borne the burden of the day and the heat of it. ¹³ But he answered, and said to one of them: My friend, I do thee no injustice: was it not for a denarius that thou didst contract with me?

¹³ But he answered, and said to one of them: My friend, I do thee no injustice: was it not for a denarius that thou didst contract with me? ¹⁴ Take what belongeth to thee, and go: for I am disposed to give to this last, as to thee. ¹⁵ Is it not lawful for me, to do what I please with what belongeth to me; or is thy eye evil, because I am good? ¹⁶ Thus the last shall be first, and the first last: for the called are many, but the chosen are few.

¹⁶ Thus the last shall be first, and the first last: for the called are many, but the chosen are few.

¹⁶ And they said to him: Hearest thou what these are saying? Jesus said to them: Yes. Have ye never read, Out of the mouth of children and infants

²⁷ And they answered, and said to him: We do not know. Jesus said to them: Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things. ²⁸ But how appeareth it to you? A certain man had two sons; and he came to the first and said to him, My son, go, labor to-day in the vineyard. ²⁹ And he answered and said, I am not willing. But afterwards he repented and went. ³⁰ And he came to the other, and said the same to him. And he answered and said: I go, my lord, but did not go. ³¹ Which of these two performed the pleasure of his father? They say to him, The first. Jesus said to them: Verily I say to you That publicans and harlots go before you into the kingdom of God. ³² For John came to you in the way of righteousness, and ye believed him not; but the publicans and harlots believed him: and ye, after ye had seen it, did not even then repent and believe in him. ³³ Hear ye another similitude. A certain man, the lord of a house, planted a vineyard, and inclosed it with a hedge, and digged in it a wine-press, and built a tower in it, and leased it to cultivators, and removed to a distance. ³⁴ And when the time for the fruits arrived, he sent his servants to the cultivators that they might remit to him of the fruits of the vineyard.

³⁴ And when the time for the fruits arrived, he sent his servants to the cultivators that they might remit to him of the fruits of the vineyard. ³⁵ And the cultivators laid hold of his servants, and beat one, and stoned another and one they slew.

³⁶ And again he sent other servants, more numerous than the first; and they did the like to them.

³⁶ And again he sent other servants, more numerous than the first; and they did the like to them. ³⁷ And at last he sent to them his son: for he said, Perhaps they will respect my son.

³⁷ And at last he sent to them his son: for he said, Perhaps they will respect my son. ³⁸ But the cultivators, when they saw the son, said among themselves: This is the heir: Come; let us kill him, and retain his inheritance.

³⁸ But the cultivators, when they saw the son, said among themselves: This is the heir: Come; let us kill him, and retain his inheritance. ³⁹ And they laid hold of him, thrust him out of the vineyard, and slew him.

³⁹ And they laid hold of him, thrust him out of the vineyard, and slew him. ⁴⁰ When the lord of the vineyard, therefore, shall come; what will he do to those cultivators?

⁴⁰ When the lord of the vineyard, therefore, shall come; what will he do to those cultivators? ⁴¹ They say to him: He will utterly destroy them; and will lease the vineyard to other cultivators, who will render him the fruits in their seasons.

⁴¹ They say to him: He will utterly destroy them; and will lease the vineyard to other cultivators, who will render him the fruits in their seasons. ⁴² Jesus said to them: Have ye never read in the scripture, The stone which the builders rejected, hath become the head of the corner: this is from the Lord; and it is marvellous in our eyes?

⁴² Jesus said to them: Have ye never read in the scripture, The stone which the builders rejected, hath become the head of the corner: this is from the Lord; and it is marvellous in our eyes? ⁴³ Therefore I say to you, That the kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and shall be given to a people that will yield fruits. ⁴⁴ And whoever shall fall upon this stone, will be fractured; but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will crush him to atoms? ⁴⁵ And when the chief priests and Pharisees had heard his similitudes, they understood that he spoke in reference to them. ⁴⁶ And they sought to apprehend him, but were afraid of the multitude, because they accounted him as a prophet.

² The kingdom of heaven is like to a royal person, who made a feast for his son. ³ And he sent his servants to call those that had been invited, to the feast: and they would not come. ⁴ And again he sent other servants, and said: Tell those invited, Behold, my entertainment is prepared, my oxen and my fatlings are slain, and every thing is prepared; come ye to the feast. ⁵ But they showed contempt, and went away, one to his farm, and another to his merchandise; ⁶ and the rest seized his servants, and abused them, and slew them. ⁷ And when the king heard of it, he was angry; and he sent his military forces, and destroyed those murderers, and burned their city. ⁸ Then said he to his servants, The feast is prepared, but they who were invited were unworthy.

⁸ Then said he to his servants, The feast is prepared, but they who were invited were unworthy. ⁹ Go ye therefore to the terminations of the streets; and as many as ye find, bid to the feast. ¹⁰ And those servants went out into the streets, and collected all they found, both bad and good; and the place of feasting was filled with guests. ¹¹ And the king went in to see the guests: and he saw there a man who was not clad in the festal garments.

¹¹ And the king went in to see the guests: and he saw there a man who was not clad in the festal garments. ¹² And he said to him: My friend, how camest thou here without the festal robes? But he was silent.

¹² And he said to him: My friend, how camest thou here without the festal robes? But he was silent. ¹³ Then said the king to the servitors: Bind his hands and his feet, and cast him into the outer darkness: there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. ¹⁴ For the called are many, and the chosen are few. ¹⁵ Then went the Pharisees and took counsel, how they might ensnare him in discourse. ¹⁶ And they sent to him their disciples, with domestics of Herod, and said to him: Teacher, we know that thou art veracious, and teachest the way of God with truth, regardless of man, for thou hast no respect of persons.

¹⁸ But Jesus knew their wickedness, and said: Why tempt ye me, ye hypocrites?

²² And when they heard it they were surprised: and they left him, and went away.

²⁴ and said to him: Teacher; Moses commanded us, that if a man should die childless, his brother must take his wife and raise up seed to his brother.

²⁶ In like manner also the second, and the third, and up to the whole seven.

³³ And when the multitude heard it they were astonished at his doctrine. ³⁴ And when the Pharisees heard that he had put the Sadducees to silence, they assembled together;

³⁶ Teacher, which is the great command in the law? ³⁷ Jesus said to him: Thou shalt love the Lord thy God, with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might, and with all thy mind.

⁴⁶ And no one was able to give him an answer? And from that day, no one dared to question him.

²³ Woe to you, Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites: for ye tithe mint, and anise, and cummin, and omit the graver matters of the law, judgment, and mercy, and fidelity: these ought ye to do, and those not to omit. ²⁴ Ye blind guides, who strain out gnats, and swallow down camels.

³⁴ Wherefore, behold, I send unto you prophets, and wise men, and scribes; some of whom ye will kill and crucify, and some of them ye will scourge in your synagogues, and will persecute them from city to city: ³⁵ so that on you may come all the blood of the righteous, which hath been shed on the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of Zachariah, son of Barachiah, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar. ³⁶ Verily I say to you, that all these things will come upon this generation. ³⁷ O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, who killest the prophets, and stonest them that are sent to thee: how often would I have gathered thy children, as a hen gathereth her young under her wings, and ye would not.

³⁷ O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, who killest the prophets, and stonest them that are sent to thee: how often would I have gathered thy children, as a hen gathereth her young under her wings, and ye would not.

²² And unless those days should be cut short, no flesh would remain alive. But, for the elect's sake, those days will be cut short.

³⁸ For as, before the flood, they were eating and drinking, taking wives and giving to husbands, up to the day that Noah entered the ark,

³⁸ For as, before the flood, they were eating and drinking, taking wives and giving to husbands, up to the day that Noah entered the ark, ³⁹ and knew not, until the flood came and took them all away; so will the coming of the Son of man be.

⁵¹ and will cut him asunder, and will assign him his portion with the hypocrites; there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

⁵ And while the bridegroom delayed, they all became sleepy and fell asleep. ⁶ And at midnight there was an outcry: Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him. ⁷ Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. ⁸ And the foolish said to the wise; Give us of your oil; for, behold, our lamps have gone out. ⁹ The wise answered and said: We must refuse, lest there should not be enough for us and for you: but go ye to them that sell, and buy for yourselves. ¹⁰ And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready, went with him into the house of the nuptials, and the door was shut.

¹⁰ And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready, went with him into the house of the nuptials, and the door was shut. ¹¹ And at length came also the other virgins, and said: Our lord, our lord, open to us. ¹² But he answered, and said to them: Verily I say to you, I know you not. ¹³ Watch, therefore, seeing ye know not the day nor the hour. ¹⁴ For, as a man that took a journey, called his servants and delivered to them his property;

³⁰ And cast ye the unprofitable servant into the outer darkness: there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. ³¹ And when the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all his holy angels with him, then will he sit upon the throne of his glory. ³² And before him will be gathered all nations; and he will separate them one from another, as a shepherd severeth the sheep from the goats.

¹⁸ And he said to them: Go ye into the city, to such a man, and say to him: Our Rabbi saith, My time approaches: with thee will I keep the Passover with my disciples

⁴⁹ And forthwith he approached Jesus, and said: Hail, Rabbi; and kissed him. ⁵⁰ And Jesus said to him: My friend, is it for this thou hast come? Then they came up, and laid their hands on Jesus, and took him.

⁸ And Jesus knew, in his spirit, that they thus reasoned in themselves; and he said to them: Why reason ye thus in your heart?

⁶ And the Pharisees went out, that very hour, with the domestics of Herod, and held a consultation against him, how they might destroy him.

³³ And by many such similitudes, similitudes such as they could hear, Jesus discoursed with the people. ³⁴ And without similitudes he did not converse with them: but to his disciples, between himself and them, he explained every thing.

² And when the sabbath came, he began to teach in the synagogue. And many who heard him were astonished, and said: Whence hath he obtained these things? And, what wisdom is this, which is given to him! and that such mighty works are done by his hands!

⁷ And he called his twelve, and began to send them forth, two and two; and he gave them authority over unclean spirits, to cast them out. ⁸ And he commanded them to take nothing for the journey, except a staff only; neither a wallet, nor bread, nor brass in their purses; ⁹ but to be shod with sandals, and not put on two coats. ¹⁰ And he said to them: Into whatever house ye enter, there abide till ye leave the place. ¹¹ And whoever will not receive you, nor hear you, when ye go out from that place shake off the dust that is under your feet, for a testimony to them. Verily I say to you, There will be comfort for Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment rather than for that city.

¹⁵ And he charged them, and said to them: Take heed, and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and of the leaven of Herod.

² And the Pharisees came to him, and, tempting him, inquired if it were lawful for a man to divorce his wife.

¹⁷ And as he walked in the way, one ran and fell upon his knees, and asked him, and said: Good Teacher, what must I do, to inherit eternal life?

⁵ And again he sent another; and him they killed. And he sent many other servants, some of whom they beat, and some they killed.

¹² And they sought to apprehend him, but were afraid of the people; for they knew that he spoke this similitude against them. And they left him, and went away. ¹³ And they sent to him some of the Scribes and of the household of Herod, to ensnare him in discourse. ¹⁴ And these came, and asked him: Teacher; we know that thou art veracious, and hast no fear of man; for thou regardest not the face of men, but teachest the way of God in truth. Is it lawful to give capitation money to Caesar; or not? Shall we give, or not give?

¹⁴ And these came, and asked him: Teacher; we know that thou art veracious, and hast no fear of man; for thou regardest not the face of men, but teachest the way of God in truth. Is it lawful to give capitation money to Caesar; or not? Shall we give, or not give? ¹⁵ And he knew their wile, and said to them: Why tempt ye me? Bring me a denarius, that I may see it. ¹⁶ And they brought one to him. And he said to them: Whose is this image and inscription? They said to him: Caesar's. ¹⁷ Jesus said to them: What is Caesar's, give to Caesar; and what is God's, give to God. And they wondered at him.

¹⁷ Jesus said to them: What is Caesar's, give to Caesar; and what is God's, give to God. And they wondered at him. ¹⁸ Then came to him Sadducees, who say that there is no resurrection; and they asked him, and said: ¹⁹ Teacher; Moses wrote to us, that if a man's brother die, and leave a widow, but leave no children, his brother shall take his widow, and raise up seed to his brother.

¹⁹ Teacher; Moses wrote to us, that if a man's brother die, and leave a widow, but leave no children, his brother shall take his widow, and raise up seed to his brother.

¹⁹ Teacher; Moses wrote to us, that if a man's brother die, and leave a widow, but leave no children, his brother shall take his widow, and raise up seed to his brother. ²⁰ There were seven brothers: and the first took a wife, and died, and left no seed.

²⁰ There were seven brothers: and the first took a wife, and died, and left no seed. ²¹ And the second took her, and died, and he also left no seed: and the third in like manner.

²¹ And the second took her, and died, and he also left no seed: and the third in like manner. ²² And the seven took her, and left no seed. Last of all, the woman also died.

²² And the seven took her, and left no seed. Last of all, the woman also died. ²³ In the resurrection, therefore, of which of them will she be the wife? For all the seven took her.

²³ In the resurrection, therefore, of which of them will she be the wife? For all the seven took her. ²⁴ Jesus said to them: Is it not on this account that ye err, because ye understand not the scriptures, nor the power of God?

²⁴ Jesus said to them: Is it not on this account that ye err, because ye understand not the scriptures, nor the power of God? ²⁵ For when they rise from the dead, they do not take wives, nor are wives given to husbands; but they are as the angels that are in heaven.

²⁵ For when they rise from the dead, they do not take wives, nor are wives given to husbands; but they are as the angels that are in heaven. ²⁶ But concerning the dead, that they rise, have ye not read in a book of Moses, how God said to him from the bush: I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? ²⁷ He is not the God of the dead, but of the living. Ye, therefore, do err greatly. ²⁸ And one of the Scribes came, and heard them as they discussed, and he saw that he gave them an excellent answer; and he asked him, Which is the first of all the commandments?

²⁸ And one of the Scribes came, and heard them as they discussed, and he saw that he gave them an excellent answer; and he asked him, Which is the first of all the commandments? ²⁹ Jesus said to him: The first of all the commandments is: Hear, O Israel; the Lord our God is one Lord:

²⁹ Jesus said to him: The first of all the commandments is: Hear, O Israel; the Lord our God is one Lord:

²⁹ Jesus said to him: The first of all the commandments is: Hear, O Israel; the Lord our God is one Lord: ³⁰ and thou shalt love the Lord thy God, with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy might. This is the first commandment.

³⁰ and thou shalt love the Lord thy God, with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy might. This is the first commandment.

³⁰ and thou shalt love the Lord thy God, with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy might. This is the first commandment. ³¹ And the second, which is like it, is: Thou shalt love thy neighbor, as thyself. There is no other commandment greater than these.

³¹ And the second, which is like it, is: Thou shalt love thy neighbor, as thyself. There is no other commandment greater than these.

³¹ And the second, which is like it, is: Thou shalt love thy neighbor, as thyself. There is no other commandment greater than these. ³² The Scribe said to him: Excellently! Rabbi; thou hast spoken the truth; for he is one God, and there is no other beside him. ³³ And for a man to love him, with all the heart, and with all the mind, and with all the soul, and with all the might; and to love his neighbor, as himself; is better than all holocausts and sacrifices.

³³ And for a man to love him, with all the heart, and with all the mind, and with all the soul, and with all the might; and to love his neighbor, as himself; is better than all holocausts and sacrifices. ³⁴ And Jesus perceived that he replied wisely; and he answered, and said to him: Thou art not far from the kingdom of God. And no one dared again to question him. ³⁵ And as Jesus was teaching in the temple, he answered and said: How can the Scribes say, that Messiah is the son of David? ³⁶ For David himself saith, by the Holy Spirit: The Lord said to my Lord; Seat thyself on my right hand, until I place thy enemies as a footstool beneath thy feet.

³⁶ For David himself saith, by the Holy Spirit: The Lord said to my Lord; Seat thyself on my right hand, until I place thy enemies as a footstool beneath thy feet. ³⁷ David therefore calleth him " My Lord;" and how is he his son? And all the multitude heard him with pleasure.

¹⁵ And he said to them: Go ye into all the world, and proclaim my tidings in the whole creation. ¹⁶ He that believeth, and is baptized, liveth; but he that believeth not, is condemned.

³⁷ Because nothing is difficult for God.

⁶⁹ And hath raised up a horn of redemption for us, in the house of David his servant: ⁷⁰ as he spake by the mouth of his holy prophets, who were of old,

¹ And in those days it occurred, that a decree went forth from Augustus Caesar, that all the people of his dominion should be enrolled.

²⁶ And it had been told him by the Holy Spirit, that he would not see death, until he should see the Messiah of the Lord. ²⁷ This man came, by the Spirit, into the temple; and when his parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for him as is commanded in the law,

⁴⁷ And all they that heard him, were astonished at his wisdom and his answers.

¹ And in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, in the presidency of Pontius Pilate in Judaea, while Herod was Tetrarch in Galilee, and Philip his brother Tetrarch in Ituraea and in the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanias Tetrarch of Abilene,

²² And all bare him witness, and admired the gracious words which proceeded from his mouth; and they said: Is not this the son of Joseph?

²² And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said to them: What think ye in your heart?

⁴⁶ And why call ye me, My Lord, my Lord; while ye do not that which I command you?

³⁰ But the Pharisees and Scribes rejected the good pleasure of God, against themselves; as they were not baptized by him.

⁴⁰ And Jesus answered, and said to him: Simon, I have something to say to thee. He said to him: Say it, Rabbi. Jesus said to him:

¹⁰ And he said to them: To you it is given, to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God; but to others, it is spoken in allegories; that, while seeing, they may not see, and while hearing, may not understand.

¹ And Jesus called his twelve, and gave them power and authority over all demons and diseases, to heal them. ² And he sent them forth, to proclaim the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick. ³ And he said to them: Take nothing for the journey, neither a staff, nor a wallet, nor bread, nor money; neither have two tunics. ⁴ And into whatever house ye enter, there stay, and thence depart. ⁵ And against them that receive you not, when ye go out of that city, shake off even the dust of your feet against them, for a testimony. ⁶ And the Legates went forth, and travelled about the villages and cities, and preached and healed everywhere.

⁴⁷ And Jesus knew the thought of their heart: and he took a child, and placed him near to him;

¹ And after these things, Jesus separated from among his disciples seventy other persons, and sent them, two and two, before his face, to every place and city whither he was to go. ² And he said to them: The harvest is great, and the laborers few: pray ye, therefore, the lord of the harvest that he would send laborers into his harvest. ³ Go ye: lo, I send you forth, as sheep among wolves. ⁴ Take to you no purses, nor wallets, nor shoes; and salute no man by the way. ⁵ And into whatever house ye enter, first say: Peace be to this house. ⁶ And if the son of peace is there, your salutation will rest upon it; but if not, your salutation will return to you. ⁷ And remain in that house, eating and drinking of what it affords; for the laborer is worthy of his hire. And pass not from house to house. ⁸ And into whatever city ye enter, and they receive you; eat that which set before you. ⁹ And heal them that are sick in it; and say to them: The kingdom of God hath come near you. ¹⁰ And into whatever city ye enter, and they receive you not; go out into the street, and say: ¹¹ Even the dust of your city which adhereth to our feet, we shake off against you: but this know ye, that the kingdom of God hath come near to you. ¹² I say to you, that for Sodom there will be comfort in that day, rather than for that city. ¹³ Woe to thee, Chorazin; woe to thee, Bethsaida; for if in Tyre and Sidon there had been the mighty deeds, that were in you, they would long ago have repented in sackcloth and ashes. ¹⁴ But for Tyre and Sidon there will be comfort in the day of judgment, rather than for you. ¹⁵ And thou Capernaum, that art lifted up to heaven, shalt be brought down to hell. ¹⁶ He that heareth you, heareth me; and he that despiseth you, despiseth me; and he that despiseth me, despiseth him that sent me.

²⁵ And behold, a Scribe stood up to try him, and said: Teacher, what must I do, to inherit eternal life?

²⁵ And behold, a Scribe stood up to try him, and said: Teacher, what must I do, to inherit eternal life? ²⁶ And Jesus said to him: How is it written in the law? How readest thou? ²⁷ He answered and said to him: Thou shalt love the Lord thy God, with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbor, as thyself

²⁷ He answered and said to him: Thou shalt love the Lord thy God, with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbor, as thyself ²⁸ Jesus said to him: Thou hast said correctly; do thus, and thou wilt live. ²⁹ And he, being disposed to justify himself, said: And who is my neighbor? ³⁰ Jesus said to him: A certain man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and robbers fell upon him, and plundered him, and smote him, and left him with little life in him, and went their way. ³¹ And a certain priest went down by that way; and he saw him, and passed on. ³² So also a Levite came, approached the spot, and saw him, and passed on. ³³ But a Samaritan, as he travelled, came where he was, and saw him, and took pity on him, ³⁴ and went to him, and bound up his wounds, and poured wine and oil on them, and placed him upon his ass, and brought him to the inn, and took care of him. ³⁵ And on the morning of the next day, he took out two denarii and gave to the host, and said: Take good care of him; and if thou expendest any more, when I return, I will repay thee. ³⁶ Which therefore of these three, appears to thee, to have been neighbor to him that fell into the hands of marauders? ³⁷ And he said: He that had pity on him. Jesus said to him: Go, and do thou also the like.

⁴² But woe to you, Pharisees! for ye tithe mint and rue, and every pot-herb; but pass over justice and the love of God. Now ye ought to do these things, and not to omit those.

⁴⁵ And one of the Scribes replied, and said to him: Teacher, while saying these things, thou reproachest us also. ⁴⁶ And he said: Woe to you also! ye Scribes, who lade men with heavy burdens; yet ye yourselves will not touch those burdens with one of your fingers

⁵² Woe to you, Scribes; for ye have taken away the keys of knowledge: ye yourselves enter not, and them that are entering ye hinder. ⁵³ And when he had said these things to them, the Scribes and Pharisees began to be offended, and became angry, and carped at his discourses, ⁵⁴ and practised many wiles upon him, seeking to catch some thing from his lips, that they might accuse him.

¹⁷ And when he had said these things, all those that stood up against him were ashamed: and all the people rejoiced in all the miracles that were wrought by his hand.

²³ And a person asked him, whether they were few who would have life? ²⁴ And Jesus said to them: Strive to enter the narrow gate: for I say to you, many will seek to enter, and will not be able.

²⁸ There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when ye will see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God; and yourselves will be thrust out.

³⁴ O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, that killest the prophets, and stonest them that are sent to thee; how many times would I have gathered thy children, as a hen that gathereth her young under her wings, and ye would not?

³ And Jews answered, and said to the Scribes and Pharisees: Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath?

⁶ And they could give him no answer to that.

¹⁵ And when one of those reclining heard these things, he said to him: Blessed is he that shall eat bread in the kingdom of God. ¹⁶ Jesus said to him: A certain man made a great supper, and invited many.

¹⁶ Jesus said to him: A certain man made a great supper, and invited many.

¹⁶ Jesus said to him: A certain man made a great supper, and invited many. ¹⁷ And at the time for supper, he sent his servant to say to those invited: Lo, every thing is ready for you; come.

¹⁷ And at the time for supper, he sent his servant to say to those invited: Lo, every thing is ready for you; come.

¹⁷ And at the time for supper, he sent his servant to say to those invited: Lo, every thing is ready for you; come. ¹⁸ And they all to a man, began to excuse themselves. The first said to him: I have bought a field, and am constrained to go out and see it. I pray thee, allow me to be excused.

¹⁸ And they all to a man, began to excuse themselves. The first said to him: I have bought a field, and am constrained to go out and see it. I pray thee, allow me to be excused. ¹⁹ Another said: I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to inspect them. I pray thee, allow me to be excused.

¹⁹ Another said: I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to inspect them. I pray thee, allow me to be excused. ²⁰ Another said: I have married a wife, and on this account I cannot come.

²⁰ Another said: I have married a wife, and on this account I cannot come. ²¹ And the servant came, and told his lord these things. Then the lord of the house was angry: and he said to his servant, Go out quickly into the market-places and streets of the city, and bring in hither the poor, and the diseased, and the lame, and the blind. ²² And the servant said: My lord, it is done as thou commandedst; and still there is room. ²³ And the lord said to his servant: Go out to the by-paths, and among the hedges, and constrain them to come in; that my house may be filled. ²⁴ For I declare to you, that not one of those men that were invited, shall taste of my supper.

²⁸ And he was angry, and would not go in: and his father went out and entreated him.

²⁶ And as it was in the days of Noah, so will it be in the days of the Son of man. ²⁷ They ate and drank, they took wives and were given to husbands, until the day that Noah entered the ark; and the flood came, and destroyed every one.

²⁷ They ate and drank, they took wives and were given to husbands, until the day that Noah entered the ark; and the flood came, and destroyed every one. ²⁸ And again, as it was in the days of Lot; they ate and drank, bought and sold, planted and built. ²⁹ But in the day that Lot went out of Sodom, the Lord rained fire and sulphur from heaven, and destroyed them all. ³⁰ Thus will it be, in the day when the Son of man shall be revealed. ³¹ In that day, let him that is on the house-top, and his goods in the house, not come down to take them: and let him that is in the field, not return after what is behind him. ³² Remember Lot's wife.

²⁷ But as for those my enemies, who would not have me to reign over them, bring them and slay them before me.

⁴² and said: O, hadst thou known the things that are of thy peace, at least in this thy day: but now they are hidden from thy eyes. ⁴³ For the days will come upon thee, when thy enemies will encompass thee, and besiege thee on every side. ⁴⁴ And they will destroy thee, and thy children within thee; and will not leave in thee one stone upon another; because thou knewest not the time of thy visitation.

²⁰ And they sent to him spies, who feigned themselves righteous men, that they might insnare him in discourse, and deliver him up to a court, and to the authority of the president. ²¹ And they questioned him, and said to him: Teacher, we know that thou speakest and teachest correctly, and hast no respect of persons, but teachest the way of God in truth.

²¹ And they questioned him, and said to him: Teacher, we know that thou speakest and teachest correctly, and hast no respect of persons, but teachest the way of God in truth. ²² Is it lawful for us to pay head-money to Caesar, or not? ²³ But he perceived their craftiness, and said: Why tempt ye me?

²³ But he perceived their craftiness, and said: Why tempt ye me? ²⁴ Show me a denarius. Whose is this image and superscription upon it? They said to him, Caesar's.

²⁴ Show me a denarius. Whose is this image and superscription upon it? They said to him, Caesar's. ²⁵ Jesus said to them: Then, give to Caesar what is Caesar's, and to God what is God's. ²⁶ And they could not catch from him a word of accusation before the people: and they were surprised at his answers, and were silent. ²⁷ And some of the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came and questioned him, ²⁸ and said to him: Teacher, Moses wrote to us, that if a man's brother die, who had a wife without children, his surviving brother shall take his wife, and raise up seed to his deceased brother.

²⁸ and said to him: Teacher, Moses wrote to us, that if a man's brother die, who had a wife without children, his surviving brother shall take his wife, and raise up seed to his deceased brother. ²⁹ Now, there were seven brothers; and the first took a wife, and died without children.

²⁹ Now, there were seven brothers; and the first took a wife, and died without children. ³⁰ And the second took her to wife; and he died without children.

³⁰ And the second took her to wife; and he died without children. ³¹ And again, the third took her, and in like manner also all the seven; and they died, and left no children.

³¹ And again, the third took her, and in like manner also all the seven; and they died, and left no children. ³² At last, the woman likewise died.

³² At last, the woman likewise died. ³³ In the resurrection, therefore, of which of them will she be the wife, for the seven took her?

³³ In the resurrection, therefore, of which of them will she be the wife, for the seven took her? ³⁴ Jesus said to them: The children of this world take wives, and wives are given to husbands.

³⁴ Jesus said to them: The children of this world take wives, and wives are given to husbands. ³⁵ But they who are worthy of that world, and of the resurrection from the dead, do not take wives, nor are wives given to husbands.

³⁵ But they who are worthy of that world, and of the resurrection from the dead, do not take wives, nor are wives given to husbands.

³⁵ But they who are worthy of that world, and of the resurrection from the dead, do not take wives, nor are wives given to husbands. ³⁶ Neither can they die any more; for they are as the angels, and are the children of God, because they are children of the resurrection.

³⁶ Neither can they die any more; for they are as the angels, and are the children of God, because they are children of the resurrection. ³⁷ But that the dead will arise, even Moses showed; for, at the bush, he maketh mention, while he saith: The Lord, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.

³⁷ But that the dead will arise, even Moses showed; for, at the bush, he maketh mention, while he saith: The Lord, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. ³⁸ Now God is not the God of the dead, but of the living; for they all live to him.

³⁸ Now God is not the God of the dead, but of the living; for they all live to him. ³⁹ And some of the Scribes answered, and said to him: Teacher, thou hast spoken well. ⁴⁰ And they did not again venture to question him, on any matter.

⁴⁰ And they did not again venture to question him, on any matter. ⁴¹ And he said also to them: How do the Scribes say of Messiah, that he is the son of David? ⁴² And David himself said, in the book of Psalms: The Lord said to my Lord, seat thyself at my right hand, ⁴³ until I shall place thy foes under thy feet. ⁴⁴ If David, therefore, called him, My Lord; how is he his son?

¹⁵ For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your enemies will be unable to withstand.

²¹ Then let them who shall be in Judaea, flee to the mountain district; and let them, who are in the midst of it, flee away; and those in the fields, not enter it.

²⁴ And they will fall by the edge of the sword, and be carried captive to every place. And Jerusalem will be trodden down by the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles shall be completed.

³⁶ Be ye therefore vigilant, at all times, and prayerful; that ye may be worthy to escape the things that are to take place, and may stand before the Son of man.

² And they began to accuse him, and said: We have found this man seducing our people, and forbidding to pay the capitation money to Caesar, and declaring himself to be king Messiah.

⁴⁴ And he said to them: These are the things which I said to you while I was with you, That all things written of me, in the law of Moses and in the prophets and in the psalms, must be fulfilled. ⁴⁵ Then he opened their mind to understand the scriptures. ⁴⁶ And he said to them: Thus it is written, and thus it was right for Messiah to suffer, and rise from the dead on the third day; ⁴⁷ and that, in his name, repentance for the remission of sins should be preached among all nations, and that the commencement be at Jerusalem.

⁴⁷ and that, in his name, repentance for the remission of sins should be preached among all nations, and that the commencement be at Jerusalem.

¹⁷ For the law was given by the hand of Moses; but the reality and grace was by the hand of Jesus Messiah.

⁴⁹ Nathaniel answered, and said to him: Rabbi; thou art the Son of God; thou art the King of Israel.

²⁵ And he needed not that any one should testify to him respecting any man; for he himself knew what is in man.

²⁹ He that hath the bride, is the bridegroom: and the friend of the bridegroom, who standeth and listeneth to him, rejoiceth with great joy on account of the bridegroom's voice: this my joy, therefore, lo, it is full. ³⁰ To him must be increase, and to me decrease.

²⁸ wonder not at this; for the hour cometh when all that are in their graves will hear his voice; ²⁹ and will come forth; they that have done good, to the resurrection of life, and they that have done evil, to the resurrection of condemnation.

⁴⁰ And ye are unwilling to come to me, that life eternal may be yours.

⁵⁰ But this is the bread which cometh from heaven, that a man may eat of it, and not die. ⁵¹ I am the bread of life, who have come down from heaven: and if a man shall eat of this bread, he will live for ever. And the bread which I shall give, is my body, which I give for the life of the world. ⁵² Then the Jews contended one with another, and said: How can he give us his body to eat? ⁵³ And Jesus said to them: Verily, verily, I say to you, That, unless ye eat the body of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life within you. ⁵⁴ But he that eateth of my body, and drinketh of my blood, to him is life eternal; and I will raise him up at the last day ⁵⁵ For my body truly is food, and my blood truly is drink. ⁵⁶ He that eateth my body, and drinketh my blood, abideth in me, and I in him ⁵⁷ As the living Father hath sent me, and I live because of the Father; so he that shall eat me, he also will live because of me.

⁶⁸ Simon Cephas replied, and said: My Lord, to whom shall we go? The words of life eternal are with thee. ⁶⁹ And we believe, and know, that thou art the Messiah, the Son of the living God.

¹⁸ He that speaketh according to the pleasure of his own mind, seeketh glory for himself: but he who seeketh the glory of him that sent him, is veracious, and evil is not in his heart.

⁴¹ Others said: He is the Messiah. Others said: Doth Messiah come from Galilee? ⁴² Doth not the scriptures say, That Messiah cometh of the seed of David, and from Bethlehem the town of David?

⁴⁶ The constables say to them: Never did a man speak, as this man speaketh.

⁶ And this they said, tempting him, so that they might have ground to accuse him. But Jesus having stooped down, was writing on the ground. ⁷ And as they continued asking him, he straightened himself up, and said to them: Whoever among you is without sin, let him first cast a stone at her. ⁸ And, having again stooped down, he wrote on the ground. ⁹ And they, when they heard it, went out one by one, beginning with the older; and the woman was left, alone where she had stood in the midst.

⁵⁸ Jesus said to them: Verily, verily I say to you, That before Abraham existed, I was.

⁴⁷ And the chief priests and Pharisees assembled together, and said: What shall we do? For this man worketh many signs. ⁴⁸ And if we thus let him alone, all the people will believe in him; and the Romans will come, and will take away our place and our nation. ⁴⁹ But, one of them, named Caiaphas, was the high priest of that year; and he said to them: Ye know not any thing. ⁵⁰ Neither do ye consider, that it is expedient for us, that one man die for the people, and not that this whole people perish.

⁶ Jesus said to him: I am the way, and truth, and life: no one cometh unto my Father, but by me.

¹⁹ And if ye were of the world, the world would love what is of it. But ye are not of the world, for I have chosen you out of the world; for this cause, the world hateth you. ²⁰ Remember the word that I spoke to you, That there is no servant, who is greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; and if they have observed my teaching, they will also observe yours.

² For they will eject you from their synagogues; and the hour will come, that whoever shall kill you, will suppose that he presenteth an offering to God. ³ And these things will they do, because they have not known either my Father, or me.

³⁷ Pilate said to him: Then thou art a king? Jesus said to him: Thou hast said, that I am a king. For this was I born; and for this came I into the world, that I might bear testimony to the truth. Every one that is of the truth, heareth my voice.

¹² And for this reason, Pilate was disposed to release him. But the Jews cried out: If thou release this man, thou art not Caesar's friend: for whoever maketh himself a king, is the adversary of Caesar. ¹³ And when Pilate heard this declaration, he brought Jesus forth, and sat upon the tribunal, in a place called the pavement of stones; but in Hebrew it is called Gabbatha. ¹⁴ And it was the preparation for the passover; and it was about the sixth hour. And he said to the Jews: Behold, your king. ¹⁵ But they cried out: Away with him, away with him; hang him, hang him. Pilate said to them: Shall I crucify your king? The chief priests said to him: We have no king, but Caesar.

⁹ For they had not yet learned from the scriptures, that he was to arise from the dead.

²⁸ And Thomas answered, and said to him: My Lord, and my God!

¹⁸ Verily, verily, I say to thee: When thou wast young, thou girdedst thy own loins, and walkedst whither it pleased thee: but when thou shalt be old, thou wilt extend thy hands, and another will gird thy loins for thee, and will conduct thee whither thou wouldst not.

⁸ But when the Holy Spirit shall come upon you, ye will receive energy, and will be witnesses for me in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and also among the Samaritans, and unto the ends of the earth.

¹⁶ Men, brethren, it was right that the scripture should be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit spake, by the mouth of David, concerning Judas who was guide to them that apprehended Jesus.

¹³ Others however ridiculed them, saying: They have drunken new wine, and are intoxicated.

³⁰ For he was a prophet, and he knew, that God had sworn to him by an oath: Of the fruit of thy bowels, I will seat one on thy throne. ³¹ And he foresaw, and spoke of the resurrection of Messiah, that he was not left in the grave, neither did his body see corruption.

³⁴ For David hath not ascended into heaven; because he himself said: The Lord said to my Lord, seat thyself at my right hand, ³⁵ until I shall place thy enemies a footstool to thy feet.

¹ And while they were speaking these words to the people, the priests and the Sadducees and the rulers of the temple rose up against them;

¹ And while they were speaking these words to the people, the priests and the Sadducees and the rulers of the temple rose up against them; ² being angry with them, that they taught the people, and preached a resurrection from the dead by the Messiah. ³ And they laid hands on them, and kept them until the next day; because evening was drawing near.

¹⁴ And they saw that the lame man, who had been healed, stood near them; and they could say nothing to confront them.

¹⁹ Simon Cephas and John answered, and said to them: Whether it be right before God, that we hearken to you more than to God, judge ye.

² and carried away part of the price and concealed it, his wife consenting; and he brought a part of the money, and laid it before the feet of the legates. ³ And Simon said to him: Ananias, why hath Satan so filled thy heart, that thou shouldst lie against the Holy Spirit, and conceal of the money of the price of the field? ⁴ Was it not thine own before it was sold? And when sold, again thou hadst authority over the price of it. Why hast thou set thy heart to do this purpose? Thou hast not lied against men, but against God. ⁵ And when Ananias heard these words, he fell down, and died. And great fear was upon all them that heard of it. ⁶ And the young men among them arose, and gathered him up, and carried him out, and buried him. ⁷ And when three hours had passed, his wife also came in, without knowing what had occurred. ⁸ Simon said to her: Tell me, if ye sold the field for this price? And she said: Yes, for this price. ⁹ Simon said to her: Since ye have been equals in tempting the Spirit of the Lord, lo, the feet of the buriers of thy husband are at the door, and they will carry thee out.

⁹ Simon said to her: Since ye have been equals in tempting the Spirit of the Lord, lo, the feet of the buriers of thy husband are at the door, and they will carry thee out. ¹⁰ And immediately she fell before their feet, and died. And those young men came in, and found her dead; and they took up, carried forth, and buried her by the side of her husband. ¹¹ And great fear was on all the assembly, and on all them that heard it.

¹⁷ And the high priest was filled with indignation, and all those with him who were of the doctrine of the Sadducees.

²⁴ And when the chief priests and rulers of the temple heard these words, they were astonished at them; and they studied what this could mean. ²⁵ And one came and informed them: Those men, whom ye shut up in the prison, lo, they are standing in the temple, and teaching the people. ²⁶ Then went the rulers with attendants, to bring them without violence; for they feared, lest the people should stone them. ²⁷ And when they had brought them, they placed them before the whole council; and the high priest began to say to them: ²⁸ Did we not strictly charge you, to teach no person in this name? And behold, ye have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine; and ye would bring the blood of this man upon us. ²⁹ And Simon, with the legates, answered and said to them: God is to be obeyed, rather than men.

³⁷ And after him, rose up Judas a Galilean, in the days when the people were enrolled for the capitation tax; and he seduced much people after him. And he died, and all they that went after him were dispersed.

⁴⁰ And they called the legates, and scourged them, and commanded them not to teach in the name of Jesus, and dismissed them. ⁴¹ And they went from before them, rejoicing that they were worthy to suffer abuse on account of that name.

¹⁰ And they could not withstand the wisdom and the Spirit that spoke by him.

³² I am the God of thy fathers, the God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob. And Moses trembled, and dared not to gaze at the sight.

⁵¹ O ye stiff of neck, and uncircumcised in their heart, and in their hearing; ye do always set yourselves against the Holy Spirit; as your fathers, so also ye. ⁵² For, which of the prophets did not your fathers persecute and kill, even them, who foretold the coming of the Just One, whom ye delivered up and slew? ⁵³ And ye have received the law by the ordination of angels, and have not kept it. ⁵⁴ And when they heard these things, they were filled with rage in their souls; and they gnashed their teeth against him.

⁵⁴ And when they heard these things, they were filled with rage in their souls; and they gnashed their teeth against him. ⁵⁵ And he, as he was full of faith and of the Holy Spirit, looked towards heaven, and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God. ⁵⁶ And he said: Lo, I see heaven open, and the Son of man standing on the right hand of God. ⁵⁷ And they cried out with a loud voice, and stopped their ears, and all rushed upon him.

¹ And Saul was consenting and participating in his death. And there was, in that day, a great persecution against the church that was at Jerusalem; and they were all dispersed, except the legates, among the villages of Judaea and likewise among the Samaritans.

²⁰ Simon Cephas said to him: Thy money go with thee to perdition! because thou hast supposed, that the gift of God may be purchased by a worldly substance. ²¹ Thou hast no part nor lot in this faith; because thy heart is not right before God. ²² Nevertheless, repent of this thy wickedness, and entreat of God, if perhaps the guile of thy heart may be forgiven thee. ²³ For I perceive that thou art in the bitter gall and in the bonds of iniquity.

¹⁹ And they who were dispersed, by the oppression which occurred on account of Stephen, travelled as far as Phenicia, and even to the country of Cyprus, and to Antioch, speaking the word to none except to Jews only. ²⁰ And there were some of them from Cyprus and from Cyrene, who went up to Antioch, and spoke to the Greeks, and preached concerning our Lord Jesus.

²² And he removed him, and raised up to them David as king: and he testified of him, and said: I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after my heart: he will do all my pleasure. ²³ From the seed of this man, hath God raised up to Israel, as he promised, Jesus a deliverer.

⁴⁵ And when the Jews saw the great assembly, they were filled with envy, and set them selves against the words which Paul spoke, and blasphemed. ⁴⁶ And Paul and Barnabas said openly: To you first, ought the word of God to be spoken; but because ye repel it from you, and decide, against yourselves, that ye are not worthy of life eternal, lo, we turn ourselves to the Gentiles. ⁴⁷ For so hath our Lord commanded us; as it is written: I have set thee a light to the Gentiles; that thou shouldst be for life unto the ends of the earth.

⁷ and this Jason is their entertainer: and they all resist the commands of Caesar, saying that there is another king, one Jesus.

²³ And at that time there was great commotion respecting the way of God. ²⁴ For a certain silversmith was there, named Demetrius, who made silver shrines for Diana, and afforded great profits to the artisans of his trade. ²⁵ He assembled all the artisans of his trade, and those who labored with them, and said to them: Gentlemen, ye know that our gains are all from this manufacture. ²⁶ And ye also know and see, that not only the citizens of Ephesus, but also the mass of all Asia, this Paul hath persuaded and enticed away, by saying, that those are not gods, which are made by the hands of men. ²⁷ And not only is this occupation slandered and impeded, but also the temple of the great goddess Diana is accounted as nothing; and likewise the goddess herself of all Asia, and whom all nations worship, is contemned. ²⁸ And when they heard these things they were filled with wrath; and they cried out, and said: Great is Diana of the Ephesians.

¹¹ And he came in to us, and took the girdle of Paul's loins, and bound his own feet and hands, and said: Thus saith the Holy Spirit, So will the Jews in Jerusalem bind the man, who owns this girdle; and they will deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles.

²⁸ crying out and saying: Men, sons of Israel; help. This is the man, who teacheth in every place, against our people, and against the law, and against this place; and he hath also brought Gentiles into the temple, and hath polluted this holy place. ²⁹ For they had previously seen with him in the city Trophimus the Ephesian; and they supposed, that he had entered the temple with Paul. ³⁰ And the whole city was in commotion; and all the people assembled together, and laid hold of Paul, and dragged him out of the temple: and instantly the gates were closed.

⁶ And, as Paul knew that a part of the people were of the Sadducees, and a part of the Pharisees, he cried out, in the assembly: Men, my brethren; I am a Pharisee the son of a Pharisee; and for the hope of the resurrection of the dead, I am judged. ⁷ And when he had said this, the Pharisees and Sadducees fell upon one another, and the people were divided ⁸ For the Sadducees say that there is no resurrection, nor angels, nor a spirit: but the Pharisees confess all these.

²⁵ And while he was discoursing with them on righteousness, and on holiness, and on the future judgment, Felix was filled with fear; and he said: For the present time, go: and when I have opportunity, I will send for thee.

⁸ Meanwhile Paul maintained, that he had committed no offence, either against the Jewish law, or against the temple, or against Caesar.

⁸ How judge ye? Are we not to believe, that God will raise the dead?

¹⁷ And after three days, Paul sent and called for the principal Jews. And when they were assembled, he said to them: Men, my brethren, although I had in nothing risen up against the people or the law of my fathers, I was at Jerusalem delivered over in bonds to the Romans: ¹⁸ and they, when they had examined me, were disposed to release me, because they found in me no offence deserving death. ¹⁹ And, as the Jews withstood me, I was compelled to utter an appeal to Caesar; but not because I had any thing of which to accuse the people of my nation. ²⁰ For this reason I sent for you to come, that I might see you, and might state these things to you: for it is on account of the hope of Israel, that I am bound with this chain. ²¹ They said to him: We have received no epistle from Judaea against thee; and none of the brethren who have come from Jerusalem, have told us any evil thing of thee. ²² But we are desirous to hear from thee what thou thinkest; for this doctrine, we know, is not received by any one.

²² But we are desirous to hear from thee what thou thinkest; for this doctrine, we know, is not received by any one. ²³ And they appointed him a day; and many assembled, and came to him at his lodgings. And he explained to them respecting the kingdom of God, testifying and persuading them concerning Jesus, out of the law of Moses, and out of the prophets, from morning till evening. ²⁴ And some of them assented to his discourses, and others did not assent. ²⁵ And they went out from him, disagreeing among themselves. And Paul addressed to them this speech: Well did the Holy Spirit, by the mouth of Isaiah the prophet, speak concerning your fathers, ²⁶ saying: Go unto this people, and say to them, Hearing ye will hear, and will not understand; and ye will see, and will not comprehend. ²⁷ For the heart of this people is stupefied, and their hearing they have made heavy, and their eyes they have closed; lest they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their hearts, and be converted unto me, and I should forgive them. ²⁸ Therefore, be this known to you, that to the Gentiles is this redemption of God sent: and, moreover, they will hear it. ²⁹ And when he had thus said, the Jews retired; and there were great disputations among them. ³⁰ And Paul hired a house, at his own cost, and resided in it two years; and there he received all that came to him. ³¹ And he preached concerning the kingdom of God, and taught boldly concerning our Lord Jesus Messiah, without hinderance. Completion of the Acts of the blessed Legates; that is, their Histories.

³ concerning his Son, (who was born in the flesh, of seed of the house of David, ⁴ and was made known as the Son of God, by power, and by the Holy Spirit,) who arose from the dead, Jesus Messiah, our Lord,

⁴ Or wilt thou abuse the riches of his benevolence, and his long suffering, and the opportunity which he giveth thee? And dost thou not know, that the benevolence of God should bring thee to repentance?

¹⁹ Now we know, that whatever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law; that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world be guilty before God.

¹⁹ Now we know, that whatever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law; that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world be guilty before God. ²⁰ Wherefore, by the deeds of the law, no flesh is justified before him: for, by the law, sin is known. ²¹ But now, the righteousness of God without the law, is manifested; and the law and the prophets testify of it: ²² even the righteousness of God, which is by faith in Jesus Messiah, for every one, and on every one, that believeth in him: for there is no distinction;

⁶ For minding the things of the flesh, is death; but minding the things of the Spirit, is life and peace. ⁷ Because minding the things of the flesh, is enmity towards God: for it doth not subject itself to the law of God, because it is not possible.

³² And, if he spared not his Son, but gave him up for us all, how shall he not give us all things, with him?

⁵ and from among whom, Messiah appeared in the flesh, who is God over all; to whom be praises and benediction, for ever and ever; Amen.

²¹ But to Israel, he said: All the day, have I stretched out my hands to a contentious and disobedient people.

⁶ For this cause also ye pay tribute money; for they are the ministers of God, established for these same objects. ⁷ Render therefore to every one, as is due to him; tribute-money, to whom tribute-money; and excise, to whom excise; and fear, to whom fear; and honor, to whom honor.

⁷ Render therefore to every one, as is due to him; tribute-money, to whom tribute-money; and excise, to whom excise; and fear, to whom fear; and honor, to whom honor.

⁹ For this likewise, which it saith: Thou shalt not kill; nor commit adultery; nor steal; nor covet; and if there is any other commandment, it is completed in this sentence: Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.

⁹ For this likewise, which it saith: Thou shalt not kill; nor commit adultery; nor steal; nor covet; and if there is any other commandment, it is completed in this sentence: Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. ¹⁰ Love doeth no evil to one's neighbor; because love is the fulfillment of the law.

¹⁴ But clothe yourselves with our Lord Jesus Messiah: and be not thoughtful about your flesh, for the indulgence of appetites.

² But each of us should please his neighbor, in good things, as conducive to edification.

⁴ For every thing written of old, was written for our instruction; that we, by patience and by the consolation of the scriptures, might possess hope.

² to the church of God which is at Corinth, to the people called and sanctified, who are sanctified in Jesus Messiah; and to all them, in every place, who invoke the name of our Lord Jesus Messiah, their and our Lord:

⁵ Therefore pronounce not judgments before the time, or until the Lord come, who will pour light upon the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the thoughts of men's hearts: and then will each one have due praise from God.

⁷ Purge out from you the old leaven, that ye may be a new mass, as ye are unleavened. For our passover is the Messiah, who was slain for us. ⁸ Therefore let us celebrate the festival, not with the old leaven, nor with the leaven of wickedness and bitterness, but with the leaven of purity and sanctity.

⁹ Or do ye not know, that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not mistake; neither whoremongers, nor idol-worshippers, nor adulterers, nor debauchers, nor liers with males, ¹⁰ nor the avaricious, nor thieves, nor drunkards, nor railers, nor extortioners, will inherit the kingdom of God. ¹¹ And these things have been in some of you: but ye are washed, and are sanctified, and made righteous, in the name of our Lord Jesus the Messiah, and by the Spirit of our God.

²⁹ And this I say, my Brethren, that the time to come is short; so that they who have wives, should be as if they had none; ³⁰ and they who weep, as if they wept not; and they who rejoice, as if they rejoiced not; and they who buy, as if they acquired not; ³¹ and those occupied with this world, not going beyond the just using: for the fashion of this world is passing away.

¹² And if the Messiah is proclaimed, as rising from the dead; how is it that there are some among you, who say, There is no reviviscence of the dead? ¹³ And if there is no reviviscence of the dead, the Messiah also hath not risen. ¹⁴ And if the Messiah hath not risen, our preaching is vain, and your faith also vain.

²⁵ For he is to reign, until he shall put all his enemies under his feet.

¹⁷ For we are not like others, who dilute the words of God; but as of the truth, and as of God, we speak in the Messiah before God.

² But we have renounced the concealments of dishonor, and we walk not in craftiness, nor do we treat the word of God deceitfully; but by the manifestation of the truth, we exhibit ourselves to all the consciences of men before God.

³ if indeed, when clothed, we shall not be found naked.

¹⁶ And therefore, we know no person after the flesh: and if we have known the Messiah after the flesh, yet henceforth we know him no more.

² For I am jealous over you, with a godly jealousy for I have espoused you to a husband as a chaste virgin, whom I would present to the Messiah.

²¹ lest, when I come to you, my God should humble me; and I should mourn over many, who have sinned, and have not repented of the impurity, the whoredom, and the lasciviousness, which they have committed.

¹⁰ For do I now persuade men, or God? Or do I seek to please men? For if I had till now pleased men, I should not have been a servant of the Messiah.

⁶ And they who were esteemed prominent, (what they were, I care not; for God regardeth not the persons of men,)even these persons added nothing to me.

²⁷ For they who have been baptized into the Messiah, have put on the Messiah.

¹⁴ For the whole law is fulfilled in one sentence; in this, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.

¹⁰ Now, therefore, while we have the opportunity, let us practice good works towards all men, and especially towards them of the household of faith.

⁸ to me, who am the least of all the saints, hath this grace been given, that I should announce among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of the Messiah,

²⁴ and should put on the new man, that is created by God in righteousness and in the holiness of truth.

²⁴ And as the church is subject to the Messiah, so also let wives be to their husbands in all things. ²⁵ Husbands, love your wives, even as the Messiah loved his church, and delivered himself up for it; ²⁶ that he might sanctify it, and cleanse it, by the washing of water, and by the word; ²⁷ and might constitute it a glorious church for himself, in which is no stain, and no wrinkle, and nothing like them; but that it might be holy and without blemish. ²⁸ It behooveth men so to love their wives, as they do their own bodies. For he that loveth his wife loveth himself. ²⁹ For no one ever hated his own body; but nourisheth it, and provideth for it, even as the Messiah the church. ³⁰ For we are members of his body and of his flesh, and of his bones. ³¹ For this reason, a man should quit his father and his mother, and adhere to his wife; and the two should be one flesh. ³² This is a great mystery; but I am speaking of the Messiah, and of his church.

⁶ who, as he was in the likeness of God, deemed it no trespass to be the coequal of God; ⁷ yet divested himself, and assumed the likeness of a servant, and was in the likeness of men, and was found in fashion as a man; ⁸ and he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. ⁹ Wherefore, also, God hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is more excellent than all names; ¹⁰ that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of beings in heaven, and on earth, and under the earth; ¹¹ and that every tongue should confess that Jesus the Messiah is the Lord, to the glory of God his Father.

⁷ But these things, which had been my excellence, I have accounted a detriment, because of the Messiah. ⁸ And now also I account them all a detriment, because of the excellency of the knowledge of Jesus the Messiah my Lord; for the sake of whom, I have parted with all things, and have accounted them as dung, that I might gain the Messiah,

⁸ And now also I account them all a detriment, because of the excellency of the knowledge of Jesus the Messiah my Lord; for the sake of whom, I have parted with all things, and have accounted them as dung, that I might gain the Messiah, ⁹ and be found in him; since my righteousness is not now that from the law, but that which is from faith in the Messiah, that is, the righteousness which is from God; ¹⁰ that thereby I might know Jesus, and the efficacy of his resurrection; and might participate in his sufferings, and be assimilated to his death:

²¹ who will change the body of our abasement, that it may have the likeness of the body of his glory, according to his great power, whereby all things are made subject to him.

¹⁰ and put ye on the new man, that is renewed in knowledge, after the likeness of his Creator; ¹¹ where there is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither circumcision nor uncircumcision, neither Greek nor barbarian, neither bond nor free; but the Messiah is all, and in all.

¹¹ where there is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither circumcision nor uncircumcision, neither Greek nor barbarian, neither bond nor free; but the Messiah is all, and in all.

⁶ And let your speech at all times be with grace; as it were, seasoned with salt: and know ye, how ye ought to give answer to every man.

⁴ but as we had been approved of God to be intrusted with the gospel, so we speak, not as pleasing men, but God who searcheth our hearts.

¹⁴ For ye, my brethren, became assimilated to the churches of God in Judaea, the persons who are in Jesus the Messiah; in that ye so suffered, even ye from your own countrymen, as also they from the Jews, ¹⁵ the persons who slew our Lord Jesus the Messiah, and persecuted their own prophets and us; and they please not God, and are made hostile to all men; ¹⁶ and they forbid us to speak to the Gentiles, that they may have life; to fill up their sins at all times. And wrath cometh on them to the uttermost.

⁵ for a demonstration of the righteous judgment of God; that ye may be worthy of his kingdom, on account of which ye suffer.

⁹ For these will be recompensed with the judgment of eternal destruction, from the presence of our Lord, and from the glory of his power;

⁵ Now the end of the command is love, which is from a pure heart, and from a good conscience, and from true faith.

¹⁶ and truly great, is this mystery of righteousness, which was revealed in the flesh, and justified in the spirit, and seen by angels, and proclaimed among the Gentiles, and believed on in the world, and received up into glory.

⁹ But they who desire to become rich, fall into temptations, and into snares, and into many lusts which are foolish and hurtful, and which drown men in destruction and perdition: ¹⁰ for the love of money is the root of all these evils. And there are some who, coveting it, have erred from the faith, and brought themselves into many sorrows.

¹⁸ who have wandered from the truth, while they say, The resurrection of the dead hath passed: and they subvert the faith of some.

⁴ treacherous, rash, inflated, attached to pleasure more than to the love of God,

¹¹ and know thou, that such a man is perverse, and sinful, and self-condemned.

¹³ As for Zenas the scribe, and Apollos, endeavor to help them well on their way, that they may want nothing.

³ who is the splendor of his glory, and the image of himself, and upholdeth all by the energy of his word; and by himself he made a purgation of sins, and sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high.

¹³ And to which of the angels did he ever say Sit thou at my right hand, until I shall place thy enemies a footstool under thy feet?

³ how shall we escape, if we despise the things which are our life, things which began to be spoken by our Lord, and were confirmed to us by them who heard from him,

¹⁴ For because the children participated in flesh and blood, he also, in like manner, took part in the same; that, by his death, he might bring to naught him who held the dominion of death, namely Satan;

⁷ Because the Holy Spirit hath said: To-day, if ye will hear his voice,

¹² For the word of God is living, and all-efficient, and sharper than a two-edged sword, and entereth even to the severance of the soul and the spirit, and of the joints and the marrow and the bones, and judgeth the thoughts and reasonings of the heart: ¹³ neither is there any creature, which is concealed from before him; but every thing is naked and manifest before his eyes, to whom we are to give account.

²⁷ And, as it is appointed to men, that they must once die, and after their death is the judgment;

¹² But this Priest offered one sacrifice for sins, and for ever sat down at the right hand of God; ¹³ and thenceforth waited, until his foes should be placed as a footstool under his feet.

¹⁶ This is the covenant which I will give them after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my law into their minds, and inscribe it on their hearts; ¹⁷ and their iniquity and their sins, I will not remember against them.

¹⁶ But now it is manifest that they longed for a better city than that, namely, for that which is in heaven. Therefore God did not refuse to be called their God; for he prepared for them the city.

² And let us look on Jesus, who hath become the commencement and the completion of our faith; who, on account of the joy there was for him, endured the cross, and surrendered himself to opprobrium; and is seated on the right hand of the throne of God. ³ Behold, therefore, how much he suffered from sinners, from them who are adversaries of their own soul, that ye may not be discouraged, nor your soul become remiss.

²⁵ Beware, therefore, lest ye refuse to hear him who speaketh with you. For if they escaped not, who refused to hear him who spake with them on the earth, how much more shall we not, if we refuse to hear him who speaketh with us from heaven?

⁸ And if in this ye fulfill the law of God, as it is written, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself, ye will do well:

¹⁷ But the wisdom which is from above, is pure, and full of peace, and mild, and submissive, and full of compassion and of good fruits, and without partiality, and without respect of persons.

⁴ to whom ye have come, because he is a living stone, rejected indeed by men, but with God elect and precious. ⁵ And ye also, as living stones, are builded and become spiritual temples, and holy priests, for the offering of spiritual sacrifices, acceptable before God, through Jesus the Messiah. ⁶ For it is said in the scripture, Behold, in Zion I lay a chosen and precious stone, for the head of the corner; and whoever believeth in him, will not be ashamed. ⁷ On you therefore who believe, is this honor conferred: but to them who believe not,

¹³ And be ye submissive to all the sons of men, for God's sake; to kings, on account of their authority; ¹⁴ and to judges, because they are sent by him for the punishment of offenders, and for the praise of them that do well. ¹⁵ For so is the pleasure of God, that by your good deeds ye may stop the mouth of the foolish, who know not God: ¹⁶ as free men, yet not like men who make their freedom a cloak for their wickedness, but as the servants of God. ¹⁷ Honor all men; love your brethren; fear God; and honor kings.

¹⁷ For it is the time when judgment will commence with the house of God: and if it commence with us, what will be the end of those who obey not the gospel of God? ¹⁸ And if the righteous scarcely liveth, where will the ungodly and the sinner be found!

¹⁰ And therefore, my brethren, be ye exceedingly diligent to make your calling and election sure, by your good actions: for, by so doing, ye will never fall away.

²¹ For at no time was it by the pleasure of man, that the prophecy came; but holy men of God spoke, as they were moved by the Holy Spirit.

⁴ For, if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to the infernal regions in chains of darkness, and delivered them up to be kept unto the judgment of torture,

¹⁷ These are wells without water, clouds driven by a tempest, persons for whom is reserved the blackness of darkness.

¹⁵ Love not the world, nor any thing in it; for whoever loveth the world, hath not the love of the Father in him. ¹⁶ For all that is in the world, is, the lust of the body, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of the world; which are not from the Father, but from the world itself.

¹⁹ From us they went out, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us: but they went out from us, that so it might be known, that they were not of us.

¹ And ye see, how great is the love of the Father towards us, who hath called us sons, and made us such. Therefore the world knoweth us not, because it likewise knoweth him not. ² My beloved, now are we the sons of God; and hitherto, it hath not appeared what we are to be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be in his likeness, and we shall see him as he is.

⁷ My beloved, let us love one another: because love is from God; and whoever loveth, is born of God and knoweth God. ⁸ Because God is love; and whoever loveth not, doth not know God. ⁹ By this was the love of God towards us made known, because God sent his only-begotten Son into the world, that we by him might live. ¹⁰ In this is love; it was not that we loved God, but that God loved us, and sent his Son a propitiation for our sins. ¹¹ My beloved, if God hath so loved us, we also ought to love one another.

¹⁹ Let us, therefore, love God; because he hath first loved us. ²⁰ And if any one shall say, I love God, and yet hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother who is visible, how can he love God who is invisible? ²¹ And this command we have received from him, that whoever loveth God, must love also his brother.

² And by this we know, that we love the children of God, when we love God, and follow his commandments. ³ For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not burdensome. ⁴ Because, whoever is born of God, overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, our faith. ⁵ For who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?

²⁰ And we know that the Son of God hath come, and hath given us knowledge that we might know the True One; and that we might be in the True One, in his Son Jesus the Messiah. He is the true God, and the life eternal.

⁶ And the angels that kept not their primacy, but left their station, he hath reserved in chains unknown, under darkness, unto the judgment of the great day.

¹³ raging waves of the sea, which, by their foam, manifest their confusion; shootingstars, for which is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever.

¹⁰ I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day; and I heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet, which said:

¹⁴ Yet I have a small charge against thee. Thou hast there them who hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balak to throw a stumbling-block before the children of Israel, that they might eat the sacrifices of idols, and might commit whoredom. ¹⁵ So also thou hast them who hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitans. In like manner, repent thou.

²⁰ But I have a charge against thee, because thou sufferest thy woman Jezabel, who saith she is a prophetess, and teacheth, and seduceth my servants to whoredom, and to eating of the sacrifices of idols. ²¹ And I gave her a season for repentance, and she is not disposed to repent of her whoredom. ²² Behold, I will cast her upon a bed, and them who commit adultery with her into great affliction, unless they repent of their deeds. ²³ And her children will I slay with death: and all the churches shall know, that I am he who searcheth reins and hearts; and I will render to each of you according to your works.

²³ And her children will I slay with death: and all the churches shall know, that I am he who searcheth reins and hearts; and I will render to each of you according to your works.

⁴ Yet thou hast a few names in Sardis, who have not defiled their garments; and they shall walk with me in white, for they are worthy.

⁴ Yet thou hast a few names in Sardis, who have not defiled their garments; and they shall walk with me in white, for they are worthy. ⁵ He that is victorious, shall be so clothed in white robes; and I will not blot out their name from the book of life; and I will confess their name before my Father, and before his angels.

¹⁸ I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest become rich; and white raiment, to be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness may not be seen; and put eye-salve on thine eyes, that thou mayest see.

² Instantly, I was in the Spirit: and lo, a throne was placed in heaven; and there was one seated on the throne.

⁹ And they sung a new anthem, saying: Competent art thou, to take the book, and to open the seals thereof; because thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood, out of every tribe, and tongue, and people, and nation;

⁹ And they sung a new anthem, saying: Competent art thou, to take the book, and to open the seals thereof; because thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood, out of every tribe, and tongue, and people, and nation; ¹⁰ and thou hast made them kings and priests to our God; and they reign on the earth. ¹¹ And I looked, and I heard, as it were the voice of many angels, around the throne, and the Animals and the Elders; and the number of them was a myriad of myriads, and thousand of thousands, ¹² who said, with a loud voice; Competent is the Lamb that was slain, to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honor, and glory, and blessing; ¹³ and to be over every created thing, that is in heaven, or on earth, or under the earth, or in the sea; and all that are in them. And I heard him who sat on the throne say: Unto the Lamb be given, blessing, and honor, and glory, and power, for ever and ever. ¹⁴ And the four Animals said: Amen. And the Elders fell down, and adored.

⁶ And I heard a voice in the midst of the four Animals, saying: A choenix of wheat for a denarius, and three choenices of barley for a denarius; and hurt not the oil and the wine.

⁹ And after these things, I looked, and lo, a great multitude, which no one could number, from all kindreds, and nations, and tribes, and tongues; who stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, and palms in their hands;

¹⁵ (And lo, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments; lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.)

¹⁴ They will make war upon the Lamb; and the Lamb will vanquish them; because he is Lord of lords, and King of kings, and these with him are called and chosen and faithful.

⁶ And I heard, as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of heavy thunders, saying: Hallelujah; for our Lord God, Omnipotent, reigneth. ⁷ Let us rejoice and exult, and give glory to him: for the marriage supper of the Lamb hath come, and his bride hath made herself ready. ⁸ And it was granted her to be clothed in fine linen, bright and clean: for fine linen is the righteousnesses of the saints.

⁸ And it was granted her to be clothed in fine linen, bright and clean: for fine linen is the righteousnesses of the saints. ⁹ And he said to me, Write; Blessed are they who are called to the supper of the marriage feast of the Lamb. And he said to me, These my sayings are the true words of God. ¹⁰ And I fell at his feet, to worship him. And he said to me, See, thou do it not; I am thy fellow-servant, and of those thy brethren who have the testimony of Jesus. Worship ye God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.

¹⁹ And I saw the beast of prey, and the kings of the earth, and their warriors, that they assembled to wage battle with him who sat on the white horse, and with his warriors.

¹¹ And I saw a great white throne, and Him who sitteth thereon; from whose presence the earth and heaven fled away, and this their place was not found. ¹² And I saw the dead, great and small standing before the throne; and the books were opened; and another book was opened, which is the book of life. And the dead were judged from the things written in the books, according to their deeds. ¹³ And the sea gave up the dead in it; and death and the grave gave up the dead in them. And they were judged, each one according to his deeds. ¹⁴ And death and the grave were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death, namely, this lake of fire. ¹⁵ And if any one was not found enrolled in the book of life, he was cast into this lake of fire.

²⁷ And there shall not enter it, any thing polluted, or that practiseth impurity and falsehood; but they who are registered in the Lamb's book of life.

¹⁴ Blessed are they who do his commandments, that they may have a right to the tree of life, and may enter through the gates into the city.

¹⁶ I Jesus have sent my angel, to testify to you these things before the churches. I am the root and offspring of David: like the splendid star of the morning. ¹⁷ And the Spirit and the bride say, Come thou. And let him that heareth, say, Come thou. And let him who thirsteth, come; and he that is inclined, let him take the living water gratis.
