Luke 18 Cross References - RYLT

¹ And he spake also a simile to them, that it is necessary for us always to pray, and not to faint, ² saying, 'A certain judge was in a certain city -- God he is not fearing, and man he is not regarding -- ³ and a widow was in that city, and she was coming unto him, saying, Do me justice on my opponent, ⁴ and he would not for a time, but after these things he said in himself, Even if God I do not fear, and man do not regard, ⁵ yet because this widow does give me trouble, I will do her justice, lest, perpetually coming, she may plague me.' ⁶ And the Lord said, 'Hear you what the unrighteous judge said: ⁷ and shall not God execute the justice to His choice ones, who are crying unto Him day and night -- bearing long in regard to them? ⁸ I say to you, that He will execute the justice to them quickly; but the Son of Man having come, shall he find the faith upon the earth?' ⁹ And he spake also unto certain who have been trusting in themselves that they were righteous, and have been despising the rest, this simile: ¹⁰ 'Two men went up to the temple to pray, the one a Pharisee, and the other a tax-gatherer; ¹¹ the Pharisee having stood by himself, thus prayed: God, I thank You that I am not as the rest of men, rapacious, unrighteous, adulterers, or even as this tax-gatherer; ¹² I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all things -- as many as I possess. ¹³ 'And the tax-gatherer, having stood afar off, would not even the eyes lift up to the heaven, but was smiting on his breast, saying, God be propitious to me -- the sinner! ¹⁴ I say to you, this one went down declared righteous, to his house, rather than that one: for every one who is exalting himself shall be humbled, and he who is humbling himself shall be exalted.' ¹⁵ And they were bringing near also the babes, that he may touch them, and the disciples having seen did rebuke them, ¹⁶ and Jesus having called them near, said, 'Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not, for of such is the reign of God; ¹⁷ verily I say to you, Whoever may not receive the reign of God as a little child, may not enter into it.' ¹⁸ And a certain ruler questioned him, saying, 'Good teacher, what having done -- shall I inherit life age-during?' ¹⁹ And Jesus said to him, 'Why me do you call good? no one is good, except One -- God; ²⁰ the commands you have known: You may not commit adultery, You may do no murder, You may not steal, You may not bear false witness, Honour your father and your mother.' ²¹ And he said, 'All these I did keep from my youth;' ²² and having heard these things, Jesus said to him, 'Yet one thing to you is lacking; all things -- as many as you have -- sell, and distribute to the poor, and you shall have treasure in heaven, and come, be following me;' ²³ and he, having heard these things, became very sorrowful, for he was exceeding rich. ²⁴ And Jesus having seen him become very sorrowful, said, 'How hardly shall those having riches enter into the reign of God! ²⁵ for it is easier for a camel through the eye of a needle to enter, than for a rich man into the reign of God to enter.' ²⁶ And those who heard, said, 'And who is able to be saved?' ²⁷ and he said, 'The things impossible with men are possible with God.' ²⁸ And Peter said, 'Lo, we left all, and did follow you;' ²⁹ and he said to them, 'Verily I say to you, that there is not one who left house, or parents, or brothers, or wife, or children, for the sake of the reign of God, ³⁰ who may not receive back manifold more in this time, and in the coming age, life age-during.' ³¹ And having taken the twelve aside, he said unto them, 'Lo, we go up to Jerusalem, and all things shall be completed -- that have been written through the prophets -- to the Son of Man, ³² for he shall be delivered up to the nations, and shall be mocked, and insulted, and spit upon, ³³ and having scourged they shall put him to death, and on the third day he shall rise again.' ³⁴ And they none of these things understood, and this saying was hid from them, and they were not knowing the things said. ³⁵ And it came to pass, in his coming near to Jericho, a certain blind man was sitting beside the way begging, ³⁶ and having heard a multitude going by, he was inquiring what this may be, ³⁷ and they brought him word that Jesus the Nazarene does pass by, ³⁸ and he cried out, saying, 'Jesus, Son of David, deal kindly with me;' ³⁹ and those going before were rebuking him, that he might be silent, but he was much more crying out, 'Son of David, deal kindly with me.' ⁴⁰ And Jesus having stood, commanded him to be brought unto him, and he having come near, he questioned him, ⁴¹ saying, 'What will you I shall do to you?' and he said, 'Sir, that I may receive sight.' ⁴² And Jesus said to him, 'Receive your sight; your faith has saved you;' ⁴³ and presently he did receive sight, and was following him, glorifying God; and all the people, having seen, did give praise to God.

¹⁰ And you, why do you judge your brother? or again, you, why do you set at nought your brother? for we shall all stand at the tribunal of the Christ;

³¹ which of the two did the will of the father?' They say to him, 'The first.'

⁶ and Paul having known that the one part are Sadducees, and the other Pharisees, cried out in the sanhedrin, 'Men, brethren, I am a Pharisee -- son of a Pharisee -- concerning hope and rising again of dead men I am judged.' ⁷ And he having spoken this, there came a dissension of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees, and the crowd was divided, ⁸ for Sadducees, indeed, say there is no rising again, nor messenger, nor spirit, but Pharisees confess both.

⁵ knowing me before from the first, (if they may be willing to testify,) that after the most exact sect of our worship, I lived a Pharisee;

⁵ circumcision on the eighth day! of the race of Israel! of the tribe of Benjamin! a Hebrew of Hebrews! according to law a Pharisee!

⁷ for who does make you to differ? and what have you, that you did not receive? and if you did also receive, why do you glory as not having received? ⁸ Already you are having been filled, already you were rich, apart from us you did reign, and I would also you did reign, that we also with you may reign together,

⁹ for I am the least of the apostles, who am not worthy to be called an apostle, because I did persecute the assembly of God, ¹⁰ and by the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace that is towards me came not in vain, but more abundantly than they all did I labour, yet not I, but the grace of God that is with me;

¹⁰ for as many as are of works of law are under a curse, for it has been written, 'Cursed is every one who is not remaining in all things that have been written in the Book of the Law -- to do them,'

⁶ according to zeal persecuting the assembly! according to righteousness that is in law becoming blameless!

¹² And I give thanks to him who enabled me -- Christ Jesus our Lord -- that he did reckon me stedfast, having put me to the ministration, ¹³ who before was speaking evil, and persecuting, and insulting, but I found kindness, because, being ignorant, I did it in unbelief, ¹⁴ and exceedingly abound did the grace of our Lord, with faith and love that is in Christ Jesus: ¹⁵ stedfast is the word, and of all acceptation worthy, that Christ Jesus came to the world to save sinners -- first of whom I am; ¹⁶ but because of this I found kindness, that in me first Jesus Christ might show forth all long-suffering, for a pattern of those about to believe on him to life age-during:

⁹ and if you accept persons, sin you do work, being convicted by the law as transgressors; ¹⁰ for whoever the whole law shall keep, and shall stumble in one point, he has become guilty of all; ¹¹ for He who is saying, 'You may not commit adultery,' said also, 'You may do no murder;' and if you shall not commit adultery, and shall commit murder, you have become a transgressor of law; ¹² so speak you and so do, as about by a law of liberty to be judged,

¹⁷ because you sayest -- I am rich, and have grown rich, and have need of nothing, and have not known that you are the wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked,

¹ 'Take heed your kindness not to do before men, to be seen by them, and if not -- reward you have not from your Father who is in the heavens;

¹⁶ 'And when you may fast, be you not as the hypocrites, of sour countenances, for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear to men fasting; verily I say to you, that they have their reward.

¹⁴ Then come to him do the disciples of John, saying, 'Why do we and the Pharisees fast much, and your disciples fast not?'

⁷ 'Hypocrites, well did Isaiah prophesy of you, saying, ⁸ This people does draw near to Me with their mouth, and with the lips it does honour Me, but their heart is far off from Me; ⁹ and in vain do they worship Me, teaching teachings -- commands of men.'

²³ 'Woo to you, Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! Because you give tithe of the mint, and the dill, and the cumin, and did neglect the weightier things of the Law -- the judgment, and the kindness, and the faith; these it behoved you to do, and those not to neglect. ²⁴ 'Blind guides! Who are straining out the gnat, and the camel are swallowing.

⁴² 'But woo to you, the Pharisees, because you tithe the mint, and the rue, and every herb, and you pass by the judgment, and the love of God; these things it is beneficial to do, and those not to be neglecting.

¹⁰ 'So also you, when you may have done all the things directed you, say -- We are unprofitable servants, because that which we owed to do -- we have done.'

²⁷ Where then is the boasting? it was excluded; by what law? of works? no, but by a law of faith:

¹ Brethren, the pleasure indeed of my heart, and my supplication that is to God for Israel, is -- for salvation; ² for I bear them testimony that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge, ³ for not knowing the righteousness of God, and their own righteousness seeking to establish, to the righteousness of God they did not submit.

²⁹ that no flesh may glory before Him;

¹⁴ and I was advancing in Judaism above many equals in age in mine own race, being more abundantly zealous of my fathers' deliverances,

⁹ not of works, that no one may boast;

⁸ for the bodily exercise is unto little profit, and the piety is to all things profitable, a promise having of the life that now is, and of that which is coming;

¹³ but having gone, learn you what is, Kindness I will, and not sacrifice, for I did not come to call righteous men, but sinners, to reformation.'

⁸ And Simon Peter having seen, fell down at the knees of Jesus, saying, 'Depart from me, because I am a sinful man, O lord;'

⁶ And Jesus was going on with them, and now when he is not far distant from the house the centurion sent unto him friends, saying to him, 'Sir, be not troubled, for I am not worthy that under my roof you may enter; ⁷ wherefore not even myself thought I worthy to come unto you, but say in a word, and my lad shall be healed;

¹⁸ having risen, I will go on unto my father, and will say to him, Father, I did sin -- to the heaven, and before you, ¹⁹ and no more am I worthy to be called your son; make me as one of your hirelings. ²⁰ 'And having risen, he went unto his own father, and he being yet far distant, his father saw him, and was moved with compassion, and having ran he fell upon his neck and kissed him; ²¹ and the son said to him, Father, I did sin -- to the heaven, and before you, and no more am I worthy to be called your son.

¹² and he entering into a certain village, there met him ten leprous men, who stood afar off,

⁴⁰ And the other answering, was rebuking him, saying, 'Do you not even fear God, that you are in the same judgment? ⁴¹ and we indeed righteously, for things worthy of what we did we receive back, but this one did nothing out of place;' ⁴² and he said to Jesus, 'Remember me, lord, when you may come in your reign;' ⁴³ and Jesus said to him, 'Verily I say to you, To-day with me you shall be in the paradise.'

⁴⁸ and all the multitudes who were come together to this sight, beholding the things that came to pass, smiting their breasts did turn back;

³⁷ And having heard, they were pricked to the heart; they say also to Peter, and to the rest of the apostles, 'What shall we do, men, brethren?'

⁸ and God does commend His own love to us, that, in our being still sinners, Christ did die for us;

²⁰ And law came in, that the offence might abound, and where the sin did abound, the grace did overabound, ²¹ that even as the sin did reign in the death, so also the grace may reign, through righteousness, to life age-during, through Jesus Christ our Lord.

¹¹ for, lo, this same thing -- your being made sorry toward God -- how much diligence it does work in you! but defence, but displeasure, but fear, but longing desire, but zeal, but revenge; in every thing you did approve yourselves to be pure in the matter.

¹⁵ stedfast is the word, and of all acceptation worthy, that Christ Jesus came to the world to save sinners -- first of whom I am;

¹⁶ we may come near, then, with freedom, to the throne of the grace, that we may receive kindness, and find grace -- for seasonable help.

¹² because I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their lawlessnesses I will remember no more;' --

⁸ if we may say -- 'we have not sin,' ourselves we lead astray, and the truth is not in us; ⁹ if we may confess our sins, steadfast He is and righteous that He may forgive us the sins, and may cleanse us from every unrighteousness; ¹⁰ if we may say -- 'we have not sinned,' a liar we make Him, and His word is not in us.

³ 'Blessed the poor in spirit -- because theirs is the reign of the heavens.

¹² and whoever shall exalt himself shall be humbled, and whoever shall humble himself shall be exalted.

⁵² He brought down the mighty from thrones, And He exalted the lowly,

²⁴ 'And that you may know that the Son of Man has authority upon the earth to forgive sins -- (he said to the one struck with palsy) -- I say to you, Arise, and having taken up your little couch, be going on to your house.' ²⁵ And presently having risen before them, having taken up that on which he was lying, he went away to his house, glorifying God,

⁴⁷ therefore I say to you, her many sins have been forgiven, because she did love much; but to whom little is forgiven, little he does love.' ⁴⁸ And he said to her, 'Your sins have been forgiven;' ⁴⁹ and those reclining with him (at meat) began to say within themselves, 'Who is this, who also does forgive sins?' ⁵⁰ and he said unto the woman, 'Your faith have saved you, be going on to peace.'

¹¹ because every one who is exalting himself shall be humbled, and he who is humbling himself shall be exalted.'

²⁰ therefore by works of law shall no flesh be declared righteous before Him, for through law is a knowledge of sin.

⁵ and to him who is not working, and is believing upon Him who is declaring righteous the impious, his faith is reckoned -- to righteousness:

¹ Having been declared righteous, then, by faith, we have peace toward God through our Lord Jesus Christ,

¹⁶ having known also that a man is not declared righteous by works of law, if not through the faith of Jesus Christ, also we in Christ Jesus did believe, that we might be declared righteous by the faith of Christ, and not by works of law, wherefore declared righteous by works of law shall be no flesh.'

²¹ Abraham our father -- was not he declared righteous out of works, having brought up Isaac his son upon the altar? ²² do you see that the faith was working with his works, and out of the works the faith was perfected? ²³ and fulfilled was the Writing that is saying, 'And Abraham did believe God, and it was reckoned to him -- to righteousness;' and, 'Friend of God' he was called. ²⁴ You see, then, that out of works is man declared righteous, and not out of faith only; ²⁵ and in like manner also Rahab the harlot -- was she not out of works declared righteous, having received the messengers, and by another way having sent forth?

⁶ and greater grace he does give, wherefore he says, 'God against proud ones does set Himself up, and to lowly ones He does give grace?'

¹⁰ be made low before the Lord, and He shall exalt you.

⁵ In like manner, you younger, be subject to elders, and all to one another subjecting yourselves; with humble-mindedness clothe yourselves, because God the proud does resist, but to the humble He does give grace; ⁶ be humbled, then, under the powerful hand of God, that you He may exalt in good time,

¹³ Then were brought near to him children that he might put hands on them and pray, and the disciples rebuked them. ¹⁴ But Jesus said, 'Permit the children, and forbid them not, to come unto me, for of such is the reign of the heavens;' ¹⁵ and having laid on them his hands, he departed from there.

¹³ And they were bringing to him children, that he might touch them, and the disciples were rebuking those bringing them, ¹⁴ and Jesus having seen, was much displeased, and he said to them, 'Permit the children to come unto me, and forbid them not, for of such is the reign of God; ¹⁵ verily I say to you, whoever may not receive the reign of God, as a child -- he may not enter into it;' ¹⁶ and having taken them in his arms, having put his hands upon them, he was blessing them.

⁴⁹ And John answering said, 'Master, we saw a certain one in your name casting forth the demons, and we forbade him, because he does not follow with us;' ⁵⁰ and Jesus said unto him, 'Forbid not, for he who is not against us, is for us.'

⁵⁴ And his disciples James and John having seen, said, 'Sir, will you that we may command fire to come down from the heaven, and to consume them, as also Elijah did?'

³ and said, 'Verily I say to you, if you may not be turned and become as the children, you may not enter into the reign of the heavens; ⁴ whoever then may humble himself as this child, he is the greater in the reign of the heavens.

³⁹ for to you is the promise, and to your children, and to all those afar off, as many as the Lord our God shall call.'

¹⁴ for the unbelieving husband has been sanctified in the wife, and the unbelieving wife has been sanctified in the husband; otherwise your children are unclean, but now they are holy.

²⁰ Brethren, become not children in the understanding, but in the evil be you babes, and in the understanding become you perfect;

² as new-born babes the word's pure milk desire you, that in it you may grow,

³ and said, 'Verily I say to you, if you may not be turned and become as the children, you may not enter into the reign of the heavens;

¹⁵ verily I say to you, whoever may not receive the reign of God, as a child -- he may not enter into it;'

¹⁴ as obedient children, not fashioning yourselves to the former desires in your ignorance,

¹⁶ And lo, one having come near, said to him, 'Good teacher, what good thing shall I do, that I may have life age-during?' ¹⁷ And he said to him, 'Why me do you call good? No one is good except One -- God; but if you do will to enter into the life, keep the commands.' ¹⁸ He said to him, 'What kind?' And Jesus said, 'You shall not kill, you shall not commit adultery, you shall not steal, you shall not bear false witness, ¹⁹ honour your father and mother, and, you shall love your neighbor as yourself.' ²⁰ The young man said to him, 'All these did I keep from my youth; what yet do I lack?' ²¹ Jesus said to him, 'If you do will to be perfect, go away, sell what you have, and give to the poor, and you shall have treasure in heaven, and come, follow me.' ²² And the young man, having heard the word, went away sorrowful, for he had many possessions. ²³ And Jesus said to his disciples, 'Verily I say to you, that hardly shall a rich man enter into the reign of the heavens; ²⁴ and again I say to you, it is easier for a camel through the eye of a needle to go, than for a rich man to enter into the reign of God.' ²⁵ And his disciples having heard, were amazed exceedingly, saying, 'Who, then, is able to be saved?' ²⁶ And Jesus having earnestly beheld, said to them, 'With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.' ²⁷ Then Peter answering said to him, 'Lo, we did leave all, and follow you, what then shall we have?' ²⁸ And Jesus said to them, 'Verily I say to you, that you who did follow me, in the regeneration, when the Son of Man may sit upon a throne of his glory, shall sit -- you also -- upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel; ²⁹ and every one who left houses, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or fields, for my name's sake, an hundredfold shall receive, and life age-during shall inherit; ³⁰ and many first shall be last, and last first.

¹⁷ And as he is going forth into the way, one having run and having kneeled to him, was questioning him, 'Good teacher, what may I do, that life age-during I may inherit?' ¹⁸ And Jesus said to him, 'Why me do you call good? no one is good except One -- God; ¹⁹ the commands you have known: You may not commit adultery, You may do no murder, You may not steal, You may not bear false witness, You may not defraud, Honour your father and mother.' ²⁰ And he answering said to him, 'Teacher, all these did I keep from my youth.' ²¹ And Jesus having looked upon him, did love him, and said to him, 'One thing you do lack; go away, whatever you have -- sell, and give to the poor, and you shall have treasure in heaven, and come, be following me, having taken up the cross.' ²² And he -- gloomy at the word -- went away sorrowing, for he was having many possessions. ²³ And Jesus having looked round, said to his disciples, 'How hardly shall they who have riches enter into the reign of God!' ²⁴ And the disciples were astonished at his words, and Jesus again answering said to them, 'Children, how hard is it to those trusting on the riches to enter into the reign of God! ²⁵ It is easier for a camel through the eye of the needle to enter, than for a rich man to enter into the reign of God.' ²⁶ And they were astonished beyond measure, saying unto themselves, 'And who is able to be saved?' ²⁷ And Jesus, having looked upon them, said, 'With men it is impossible, but not with God; for all things are possible with God.' ²⁸ And Peter began to say to him, 'Lo, we left all, and we followed you.' ²⁹ And Jesus answering said, 'Verily I say to you, there is no one who left house, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or fields, for my sake, and for the good news', ³⁰ who may not receive an hundredfold now in this time, houses, and brothers, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and fields, with persecutions, and in the age that is coming, life age-during; ³¹ and many first shall be last, and the last first.'

⁴⁶ 'And why do you call me, Lord, Lord, and do not what I say?

²⁵ And lo, a certain lawyer stood up, trying him, and saying, 'Teacher, what having done, life age-during shall I inherit?' ²⁶ And he said unto him, 'In the law what has been written? how do you read?' ²⁷ And he answering said, 'You shall love the Lord your God out of all your heart, and out of all your soul, and out of all your strength, and out of all your understanding, and your neighbour as yourself.' ²⁸ And he said to him, 'Rightly you did answer; this do, and you shall live.'

¹³ you call me, The Teacher and The Lord, and you say well, for I am; ¹⁴ if then I did wash your feet -- the Lord and the Teacher -- you also ought to wash one another's feet. ¹⁵ 'For an example I gave to you, that, according as I did to you, you also may do;

³⁰ and having brought them forth, said, 'Sirs, what must I do -- that I may be saved?'

³⁵ And the messenger answering said to her, 'The Holy Spirit shall come upon you, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow you, therefore also the holy-begotten thing shall be called Son of God;

¹⁶ and, confessedly, great is the secret of piety -- God was manifested in flesh, declared righteous in spirit, seen by messengers, preached among nations, believed on in the world, taken up in glory!

²⁶ For such a chief priest did become us -- kind, harmless, undefiled, separate from the sinners, and become higher than the heavens,

¹⁷ every good giving, and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the lights, with whom is no variation, or shadow of turning;

¹⁷ And he said to him, 'Why me do you call good? No one is good except One -- God; but if you do will to enter into the life, keep the commands.' ¹⁸ He said to him, 'What kind?' And Jesus said, 'You shall not kill, you shall not commit adultery, you shall not steal, you shall not bear false witness, ¹⁹ honour your father and mother, and, you shall love your neighbor as yourself.'

¹⁸ And Jesus said to him, 'Why me do you call good? no one is good except One -- God; ¹⁹ the commands you have known: You may not commit adultery, You may do no murder, You may not steal, You may not bear false witness, You may not defraud, Honour your father and mother.'

⁷ What, then, shall we say? the law is sin? let it not be! but the sin I did not know except through law, for also the covetousness I had not known if the law had not said: ⁸ 'You shall not covet;' and the sin having received an opportunity, through the command, did work in me all covetousness -- for apart from law sin is dead. ⁹ And I was alive apart from law once, and the command having come, the sin revived, and I died; ¹⁰ and the command that is for life, this was found by me for death; ¹¹ for the sin, having received an opportunity, through the command, did deceive me, and through it did slay me;

⁹ for, 'You shall not commit adultery, You shall do no murder, You shall not steal, You shall not bear false testimony, You shall not covet;' and if there is any other command, in this word it is summed up, in this: 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself;'

¹⁰ for as many as are of works of law are under a curse, for it has been written, 'Cursed is every one who is not remaining in all things that have been written in the Book of the Law -- to do them,' ¹¹ and that in law no one is declared righteous with God, is evident, because 'The righteous by faith shall live;' ¹² and the law is not by faith, but -- 'The man who did them shall live in them.' ¹³ Christ did redeem us from the curse of the law, having become for us a curse, for it has been written, 'Cursed is every one who is hanging on a tree,'

² honour your father and mother,

²⁰ the children! obey the parents in all things, for this is well-pleasing to the Lord;

⁸ If, indeed, royal law you complete, according to the Writing, 'You shall love thy neighbour as thyself,' -- you do well; ⁹ and if you accept persons, sin you do work, being convicted by the law as transgressors; ¹⁰ for whoever the whole law shall keep, and shall stumble in one point, he has become guilty of all; ¹¹ for He who is saying, 'You may not commit adultery,' said also, 'You may do no murder;' and if you shall not commit adultery, and shall commit murder, you have become a transgressor of law;

²⁰ The young man said to him, 'All these did I keep from my youth; what yet do I lack?' ²¹ Jesus said to him, 'If you do will to be perfect, go away, sell what you have, and give to the poor, and you shall have treasure in heaven, and come, follow me.'

²⁰ And he answering said to him, 'Teacher, all these did I keep from my youth.' ²¹ And Jesus having looked upon him, did love him, and said to him, 'One thing you do lack; go away, whatever you have -- sell, and give to the poor, and you shall have treasure in heaven, and come, be following me, having taken up the cross.'

⁷ 'I say to you, that so joy shall be in the heaven over one sinner reforming, rather than over ninety-nine righteous men, who have no need of reformation.

²⁹ and he answering said to the father, Lo, so many years I do serve you, and never your command did I transgress, and to me you did never give a kid, that with my friends I might make merry;

¹¹ the Pharisee having stood by himself, thus prayed: God, I thank You that I am not as the rest of men, rapacious, unrighteous, adulterers, or even as this tax-gatherer; ¹² I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all things -- as many as I possess.

¹⁹ 'Treasure not up to yourselves treasures on the earth, where moth and rust disfigure, and where thieves break through and steal, ²⁰ but treasure up to yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust does disfigure, and where thieves do not break through nor steal,

²¹ Jesus said to him, 'If you do will to be perfect, go away, sell what you have, and give to the poor, and you shall have treasure in heaven, and come, follow me.'

²⁷ Then Peter answering said to him, 'Lo, we did leave all, and follow you, what then shall we have?' ²⁸ And Jesus said to them, 'Verily I say to you, that you who did follow me, in the regeneration, when the Son of Man may sit upon a throne of his glory, shall sit -- you also -- upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel;

²³ And he said unto all, 'If any one does will to come after me, let him disown himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me;

⁵⁷ And it came to pass, as they are going on in the way, a certain one said unto him, 'I will follow you wherever you may go, sir;' ⁵⁸ and Jesus said to him, 'The foxes have holes, and the fowls of the heaven places of rest, but the Son of Man has not where he may recline the head.' ⁵⁹ And he said unto another, 'Be following me;' and he said, 'Sir, permit me, having gone away, first to bury my father;' ⁶⁰ and Jesus said to him, 'Suffer the dead to bury their own dead, and you, having gone away, publish the reign of God.' ⁶¹ And another also said, 'I will follow you, sir, but first permit me to take leave of those in my house;' ⁶² and Jesus said unto him, 'No one having put his hand on a plough, and looking back, is fit for the reign of God.'

⁴² but of one thing there is need, and Mary the good part did choose, that shall not be taken away from her.'

³³ sell your goods, and give alms, make to yourselves bags that become not old, a treasure unfailing in the heavens, where thief does not come near, nor moth destroy;

⁹ and I say to you, Make to yourselves friends out of the mammon of unrighteousness, that when you may fail, they may receive you to the age-during tabernacles.

⁴⁴ and all those believing were at the same place, and had all things common, ⁴⁵ and the possessions and the goods they were selling, and were parting them to all, according as any one had need.

³⁴ for there was not any one among them who did lack, for as many as were possessors of fields, or houses, selling them, were bringing the prices of the thing sold, ³⁵ and were laying them at the feet of the apostles, and distribution was being made to each according as any one had need. ³⁶ And Joses, who was surnamed by the apostles Barnabas -- which is, having been interpreted, Son of Comfort -- a Levite, of Cyprus by birth, ³⁷ a field being his, having sold it, brought the money and laid it at the feet of the apostles.

¹³ brethren, I do not reckon myself to have laid hold; and one thing -- the things behind indeed forgetting, and to the things before stretching forth --

¹⁸ to do good, to be rich in good works, to be ready to impart, willing to communicate, ¹⁹ treasuring up to themselves a right foundation for the time to come, that they may lay hold on the life age-during.

⁸ And this one thing let not be unobserved by you, beloved, that one day with the Lord is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day;

²² And the young man, having heard the word, went away sorrowful, for he had many possessions.

²² And he -- gloomy at the word -- went away sorrowing, for he was having many possessions.

¹⁴ 'And that which fell to the thorns: These are they who have heard, and going forth, through anxieties, and riches, and pleasures of life, are choked, and bear not to completion.

¹⁵ And he said unto them, 'Observe, and beware of the covetousness, because not in the abundance of one's goods is his life.'

⁸ And Zaccheus having stood, said unto the Lord, 'Lo, the half of my goods, sir, I give to the poor, and if of any one anything I did take by false accusation, I give back fourfold.'

³⁴ 'And take heed to yourselves, lest your hearts may be weighed down with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and anxieties of life, and suddenly that day may come on you,

⁵ for this you know, that every whoremonger, or unclean, or covetous person, who is an idolater, has no inheritance in the reign of the Christ and God.

⁸ yes, indeed, and I count all things to be loss, because of the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, because of whom of the all things I suffered loss, and do count them to be refuse, that Christ I may gain, and be found in him,

⁵ Put to death, then, your members that are upon the earth -- whoredom, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and the covetousness, which is idolatry --

¹⁵ Love not you the world, nor the things in the world; if any one does love the world, the love of the Father is not in him,

²³ And Jesus said to his disciples, 'Verily I say to you, that hardly shall a rich man enter into the reign of the heavens; ²⁴ and again I say to you, it is easier for a camel through the eye of a needle to go, than for a rich man to enter into the reign of God.' ²⁵ And his disciples having heard, were amazed exceedingly, saying, 'Who, then, is able to be saved?'

²⁶ And the king -- made very sorrowful -- because of the oaths and of those reclining (at meat) with him, would not put her away,

²³ And Jesus having looked round, said to his disciples, 'How hardly shall they who have riches enter into the reign of God!' ²⁴ And the disciples were astonished at his words, and Jesus again answering said to them, 'Children, how hard is it to those trusting on the riches to enter into the reign of God! ²⁵ It is easier for a camel through the eye of the needle to enter, than for a rich man to enter into the reign of God.' ²⁶ And they were astonished beyond measure, saying unto themselves, 'And who is able to be saved?' ²⁷ And Jesus, having looked upon them, said, 'With men it is impossible, but not with God; for all things are possible with God.'

²⁶ for see your calling, brethren, that not many are wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble; ²⁷ but the foolish things of the world did God choose, that the wise He may put to shame; and the weak things of the world did God choose that He may put to shame the strong;

⁹ I now do rejoice, not that you were made sorry, but that you were made sorry to reformation, for you were made sorry toward God, that in nothing you might receive damage from us; ¹⁰ for the sorrow toward God reformation to salvation not to be repented of does work, and the sorrow of the world does work death,

⁹ and those wishing to be rich, do fall into temptation and a snare, and many desires, foolish and hurtful, that sink men into ruin and destruction, ¹⁰ for a root of all the evils is the love of money, which certain longing for did go astray from the faith, and themselves did pierce through with many sorrows;

⁵ Hearken, my brethren beloved, did not God choose the poor of this world, rich in faith, and heirs of the reign that He promised to those loving Him? ⁶ and you did dishonour the poor one; do not the rich oppress you and themselves draw you to judgment-seats; ⁷ do they not themselves speak evil of the good name that was called upon you?

¹ Go, now, you rich! weep, howling over your miseries that are coming upon you; ² your riches have rotted, and your garments have become moth-eaten; ³ your gold and silver have rotted, and the rust of them for a testimony shall be to you, and shall eat your flesh as fire. You made treasure in the last days! ⁴ lo, the reward of the workmen, of those who in-gathered your fields, which has been fraudulently kept back by you -- does cry out, and the exclamations of those who did reap into the ears of the Lord of Sabaoth have entered; ⁵ you did live in luxury upon the earth, and were wanton; you did nourish your hearts, as in a day of slaughter; ⁶ you did condemn -- you did murder the righteous one, he does not resist you.

²⁴ 'Blind guides! Who are straining out the gnat, and the camel are swallowing.

²³ and a certain one said to him, 'Sir, are those saved few?' and he said unto them,

²⁶ And Jesus having earnestly beheld, said to them, 'With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.'

³⁷ because nothing shall be impossible with God.'

¹⁹ and what the exceeding greatness\'7bexcelling magnitude\'7d of His power to us who are believing, according to the working of the power of His might, ²⁰ which He wrought\'7bworked, effected\'7d in the Christ, having raised him out of the dead, and did set him at His right hand in the heavenly places,

⁴ and God, being rich in kindness, because of His great love with which He loved us, ⁵ even being dead in the trespasses, made us to live together with the Christ, (by grace you are having been saved,) ⁶ and raised us up together, and did seat us together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, ⁷ that He might show, in the ages that are coming, the exceeding\'7bsuperb\'7d riches of His grace in kindness\'7bgoodness\'7d toward us in Christ Jesus, ⁸ for by grace you are having been saved, through faith, and this not of you -- of God the gift, ⁹ not of works, that no one may boast; ¹⁰ for of Him we are workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to good works, which God did before prepare, that in them we may walk.

¹⁹ and he said to them, 'Come you after me, and I will make you fishers of men,' ²⁰ and they, immediately, having left the nets, did follow him. ²¹ And having advanced from there, he saw other two brothers, James of Zebedee, and John his brother, in the boat with Zebedee their father, refitting their nets, and he called them, ²² and they, immediately, having left the boat and their father, did follow him.

⁹ And Jesus passing by from there, saw a man sitting at the tax-office, named Matthew, and said to him, 'Be following me,' and he, having risen, did follow him.

²⁷ Then Peter answering said to him, 'Lo, we did leave all, and follow you, what then shall we have?'

²⁸ And Peter began to say to him, 'Lo, we left all, and we followed you.'

¹¹ and they, having brought the boats upon the land, having left all, did follow him.

⁷ But what things were to me gains, these I have counted, because of the Christ, loss;

³⁷ 'He who is loving father or mother above me, is not worthy of me, and he who is loving son or daughter above me, is not worthy of me, ³⁸ and whoever does not receive his cross and follow after me, is not worthy of me. ³⁹ 'He who found his life shall lose it, and he who lost his life for my sake shall find it.

²⁶ 'If any one does come unto me, and does not hate his own father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brothers, and sisters, and yet even his own life, he is not able to be my disciple; ²⁷ and whoever does not bear his cross, and come after me, is not able to be my disciple. ²⁸ 'For who of you, willing to build a tower, does not first, having sat down, count the expense, whether he have the things for completing?

³² And whoever may speak a word against the Son of Man it shall be forgiven to him, but whoever may speak against the Holy Spirit, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this age, nor in that which is coming.

³¹ but, seek you the reign of God, and all these things shall be added to you. ³² 'Fear not, little flock, because your Father did delight to give you the reign;

²¹ what fruit, therefore, were you having then, in the things of which you are now ashamed? for the end of those is death. ²² And now, having been freed from the sin, and having become servants to God, you have your fruit -- to sanctification, and the end life age-during; ²³ for the wages of the sin is death, and the gift of God is life age-during in Christ Jesus our Lord.

⁶ but it is great gain -- the piety with contentment;

⁵ Without covetousness the behaviour, being content with the things present, for He has said, 'No, I will not leave, no, nor forsake you,' ⁶ so that we do boldly say, 'The Lord is to me a helper, and I will not fear what man shall do to me.'

¹⁰ 'Be not afraid of the things that you are about to suffer; lo, the devil is about to cast of you to prison, that you may be tried, and you shall have tribulation ten days; become you faithful unto death, and I will give to you the crown of the life.

¹⁷ He who is having an ear -- let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies: To him who is overcoming, I will give to him to eat from the hidden manna, and will give to him a white stone, and upon the stone a new name written, that no one knew except him who is receiving it.

²¹ He who is overcoming -- I will give to him to sit with me in my throne, as I also did overcome and did sit down with my Father in His throne.

²¹ From that time began Jesus to show to his disciples that it is necessary for him to go away to Jerusalem, and to suffer many things from the elders, and chief priests, and scribes, and to be put to death, and the third day to rise.

²² And while they are living in Galilee, Jesus said to them, 'The Son of Man is about to be delivered up to the hands of men, ²³ and they shall kill him, and the third day he shall rise,' and they were exceeding sorry.

¹⁷ And Jesus going up to Jerusalem, took the twelve disciples by themselves in the way, and said to them, ¹⁸ 'Lo, we go up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man shall be delivered to the chief priests and scribes, ¹⁹ and they shall condemn him to death, and shall deliver him to the nations to mock, and to scourge, and to crucify, and the third day he will rise again.'

⁹ and those eating were about four thousand. And he let them away,

³⁰ And he strictly charged them that they may tell no one about it, ³¹ and began to teach them, that it is necessary for the Son of Man to suffer many things, and to be rejected by the elders, and chief priests, and scribes, and to be killed, and after three days to rise again;

³² And they were in the way going up to Jerusalem, and Jesus was going before them, and they were amazed, and following they were afraid. And having again taken the twelve, he began to tell them the things about to happen to him, ³³ -- 'Lo, we go up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man shall be delivered to the chief priests, and to the scribes, and they shall condemn him to death, and shall deliver him to the nations, ³⁴ and they shall mock him, and scourge him, and spit on him, and kill him, and the third day he shall rise again.'

²² saying -- 'It is necessary for the Son of Man to suffer many things, and to be rejected by the elders, and chief priests, and scribes, and to be killed, and the third day to be raised.'

⁵¹ And it came to pass, in the completing of the days of his being taken up, that he fixed his face to go on to Jerusalem,

⁶ he is not here, but was raised; remember how he spake to you, being yet in Galilee, ⁷ saying -- It is necessary for the Son of Man to be delivered up to the hands of sinful men, and to be crucified, and the third day to rise again.'

⁴⁴ and he said to them, 'These are the words that I spake unto you, being yet with you, that it is necessary for to be fulfilled all the things that are written in the Law of Moses, and the Prophets, and the Psalms, about me.' ⁴⁵ Then opened he up their understanding to understand the Writings, ⁴⁶ and he said to them -- 'Thus it has been written, and thus it was behooving the Christ to suffer, and to rise out of the dead the third day,

⁶⁷ Then did they spit in his face and buffet him, and others did slap,

² and having bound him, they did lead away, and delivered him up to Pontius Pilate, the governor.

²⁸ and having unclothed him, they put around him a crimson cloak, ²⁹ and having plaited him a crown out of thorns they put it on his head, and a reed in his right hand, and having kneeled before him, they were mocking him, saying, 'Hail, the king of the Jews.' ³⁰ And having spit on him, they took the reed, and were smiting on his head;

⁶⁵ and certain began to spit on him, and to cover his face, and to buffet him, and to say to him, 'Prophesy;' and the officers were striking him with their palms.

¹ And immediately, in the morning, the chief priests having made a consultation, with the elders, and scribes, and the whole sanhedrin, having bound Jesus, did lead away, and delivered him to Pilate;

¹⁷ and clothe him with purple, and having plaited a crown of thorns, they put it on him, ¹⁸ and began to salute him, 'Hail, King of the Jews.' ¹⁹ And they were smiting him on the head with a reed, and were spitting on him, and having bent the knee, were bowing to him, ²⁰ and when they had mocked him, they took the purple from off him, and clothed him in his own garments, and they led him forth, that they may crucify him.

⁶³ And the men who were holding Jesus were mocking him, beating him; ⁶⁴ and having blindfolded him, they were striking him on the face, and were questioning him, saying, 'Prophesy who he is who smote you?' ⁶⁵ and many other things, speaking evilly, they spake in regard to him.

¹ And having risen, the whole multitude of them did lead him to Pilate,

¹¹ and Herod with his soldiers having set him at nought, and having mocked, having put around him gorgeous apparel, did send him back to Pilate,

³⁵ And the people were standing, looking on, and the rulers also were sneering with them, saying, 'Others he saved, let him save himself, if this be the Christ, the choice one of God.'

²² And he having said these things, one of the officers standing by did give Jesus a slap, saying, 'Thus do you answer the chief priest?'

²⁸ They led, therefore, Jesus from Caiaphas to the praetorium, and it was early, and they themselves did not enter into the praetorium, that they might not be defiled, but that they might eat the passover;

³⁰ they answered and said to him, 'If he were not an evil doer, we had not delivered him to you.'

³⁵ Pilate answered, 'Am I a Jew? your nation, and the chief priests did deliver you up to me; what did you?'

¹ Then, therefore, did Pilate take Jesus and scourge him, ² and the soldiers having plaited a crown of thorns, did place it on his head, and a purple garment they put around him, ³ and said, 'Hail! the king of the Jews;' and they were giving him slaps. ⁴ Pilate, therefore, again went forth without, and said to them, 'Lo, I do bring him to you without, that you may know that in him I find no fault;' ⁵ Jesus, therefore, came forth without, bearing the thorny crown and the purple garment; and he said to them, 'Lo, the man!'

²³ this one, by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, being given out, having taken by lawless hands, having crucified -- you did slay;

¹³ 'The God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob, the God of our fathers, did glorify His child Jesus, whom you delivered up, and denied him in the presence of Pilate, he having given judgment to release him,

⁶³ saying, 'Sir, we have remembered that that deceiver said while yet living, After three days I do rise;

⁷ saying -- It is necessary for the Son of Man to be delivered up to the hands of sinful men, and to be crucified, and the third day to rise again.'

²¹ and we were hoping that he it is who is about to redeem Israel, and also with all these things, this third day is passing to-day, since these things happened.

³ for I delivered to you first, what also I did receive, that Christ died for our sins, according to the Writings, ⁴ and that he was buried, and that he has risen on the third day, according to the Writings,

³² but they were not understanding the saying, and they were afraid to question him.

⁵⁰ and they did not understand the saying that he spake to them,

⁴⁵ And they were not knowing this saying, and it was veiled from them, that they might not perceive it, and they were afraid to ask him about this saying.

²⁵ And he said unto them, 'O inconsiderate and slow in heart, to believe on all that the prophets spake!

⁴⁵ Then opened he up their understanding to understand the Writings,

⁶ This similitude spake Jesus to them, and they knew not what the things were that he was speaking to them;

¹⁶ And these things his disciples did not know at the first, but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were having been written about him, and these things they did to him.

¹ 'These things I have spoken to you, that you may not be stumbled, ² out of the synagogues they will put you; but an hour does come, that every one who has killed you, may think to offer service unto God; ³ and these things they will do to you, because they did not know the Father, nor me. ⁴ 'But these things I have spoken to you, that when the hour may come, you may remember them, that I said them to you, and these things to you from the beginning I did not say, because I was with you; ⁵ and now I go away to Him who sent me, and none of you does ask me, Whither do you go? ⁶ but because these things I have said to you, the sorrow has filled your heart. ⁷ 'But I tell you the truth; it is better for you that I go away, for if I may not go away, the Comforter will not come unto you, and if I go on, I will send Him unto you; ⁸ and having come, He will convict the world concerning sin, and concerning righteousness, and concerning judgment; ⁹ concerning sin indeed, because they do not believe in me; ¹⁰ and concerning righteousness, because unto my Father I go away, and no more do you behold me; ¹¹ and concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world has been judged. ¹² 'I have yet many things to say to you, but you are not able to bear them now; ¹³ and when He may come -- the Spirit of truth -- He will guide you to all the truth, for He will not speak from Himself, but as many things as He will hear He will speak, and the coming things He will tell you; ¹⁴ He will glorify me, because of mine He will take, and will tell to you. ¹⁵ 'All things, as many as the Father has, are mine; because of this I said, That of mine He will take, and will tell to you; ¹⁶ a little while, and you do not behold me, and again a little while, and you shall see me, because I go away unto the Father.' ¹⁷ Therefore said some of his disciples one to another, 'What is this that he said to us, A little while, and you do not behold me, and again a little while, and you shall see me, and, Because I go away unto the Father?' ¹⁸ they said then, 'What is this he said -- the little while? we have not known what he said.' ¹⁹ Jesus, therefore, knew that they were wishing to ask him, and he said to them, 'Concerning this do you seek one with another, because I said, A little while, and you do not behold me, and again a little while, and you shall see me?

²⁹ And they going forth from Jericho, there followed him a great multitude, ³⁰ and lo, two blind men sitting by the way, having heard that Jesus does pass by, cried, saying, 'Deal kindly with us, sir -- Son of David.' ³¹ And the multitude charged them that they might be silent, and they cried out the more, saying, 'Deal kindly with us sir -- Son of David.' ³² And having stood, Jesus called them, and said, 'What will you that I may do to you?' ³³ They say to him, 'Sir, that our eyes may be opened;' ³⁴ and having been moved with compassion, Jesus touched their eyes, and immediately their eyes received sight, and they followed him.

⁴⁶ And they come to Jericho, and as he is going forth from Jericho, with his disciples and a great multitude, a son of Timaeus -- Bartimaeus the blind -- was sitting beside the way begging, ⁴⁷ and having heard that it is Jesus the Nazarene, he began to cry out, and to say, 'The Son of David -- Jesus! deal kindly with me;' ⁴⁸ and many were rebuking him, that he might keep silent, but the more abundantly he cried out, 'Son of David, deal kindly with me.' ⁴⁹ And Jesus having stood, he commanded him to be called, and they call the blind man, saying to him, 'Take courage, rise, he does call you;' ⁵⁰ and he, having cast away his garment, having risen, did come unto Jesus. ⁵¹ And answering, Jesus said to him, 'What will you I may do to you?' and the blind man said to him, 'Rabboni, that I may see again;' ⁵² and Jesus said to him, 'Go, your faith has saved you:' and immediately he saw again, and was following Jesus in the way.

²⁰ and there was a certain poor man, by name Lazarus, who was laid at his porch, full of sores, ²¹ and desiring to be filled from the crumbs that are falling from the table of the rich man; yea, also the dogs, coming, were licking his sores.

¹ And having entered, he was passing through Jericho,

⁸ the neighbours, therefore, and those seeing him before, that he was blind, said, 'Is not this he who is sitting and begging?'

² and a certain man, being lame from the womb of his mother, was being carried, whom they were laying every day at the gate of the temple, called Beautiful, to ask a kindness from those entering into the temple,

¹⁰ And he having entered into Jerusalem, all the city was moved, saying, 'Who is this?' ¹¹ And the multitudes said, 'This is Jesus the prophet, who is from Nazareth of Galilee.'

²⁶ and having called near one of the young men, he was inquiring what these things might be,

²³ and coming, he dwelt in a city named Nazareth, that it might be fulfilled that was spoken through the prophets, that 'A Nazarene he shall be called.'

¹ And again he entered into Capernaum, after some days, and it was heard that he is in the house, ² and immediately many were gathered together, so that there was no more room, not even at the door, and he was speaking to them the word. ³ And they come unto him, bringing a paralytic, borne by four,

⁵¹ and he went down with them, and came to Nazareth, and he was subject to them, and his mother was keeping all these sayings in her heart,

⁴⁵ Philip finds Nathanael, and said to him, 'Him of whom Moses wrote in the Law, and the prophets, we have found, Jesus the son of Joseph, who is from Nazareth;'

³⁵ Jesus, therefore, said to them, 'Yet a little time is the light with you; walk while you have the light, that darkness may not overtake you; and he who is walking in the darkness has not known where he goes; ³⁶ while you have the light, believe in the light, that sons of light you may become.' These things spake Jesus, and having gone away, he was hid from them,

¹⁹ And Pilate also wrote a title, and put it on the cross, and it was written, 'Jesus the Nazarene, the king of the Jews;'

²² 'Men, Israelites! hear these words, Jesus the Nazarene, a man approved of God among you by mighty works, and wonders, and signs, that God did through him in the midst of you, according as also you yourselves have known;

¹⁰ be it known to all of you, and to all the people of Israel, that in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you did crucify, whom God did raise out of the dead, in him has this one stood by before you whole.

² for He says, 'In an acceptable time I did hear you, and in a day of salvation I did help you, lo, now is a well-accepted time; lo, now, a day of salvation,' --

²⁷ And Jesus passing on from there, two blind men followed him, calling and saying, 'Deal kindly with us, Son of David.'

²³ And all the multitudes were amazed, and said, 'Is this the Son of David?'

²² and lo, a woman, a Canaanitess, from those borders having come forth, did call to him, saying, 'Deal kindly with me, Sir -- Son of David; my daughter is miserably demonized.'

⁹ and the multitudes who were going before, and who were following, were crying, saying, 'Hosanna to the Son of David, blessed is he who is coming in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest.'

¹⁵ and the chief priests and the scribes having seen the wonderful things that he did, and the children crying in the temple, and saying, 'Hosanna to the Son of David,' were much displeased;

⁴² saying, 'What do you think concerning the Christ? Of whom is he son?' They say to him, 'Of David.' ⁴³ He said to them, 'How then does David in the Spirit call him lord, saying, ⁴⁴ The Lord said to my lord, Sit at my right hand, till I may make your enemies your footstool? ⁴⁵ If then David does call him lord, how is he his son?'

³ concerning His Son, (who is come of the seed of David according to the flesh,

¹⁶ 'I, Jesus did send my messenger to testify to you these things concerning the assemblies; I am the root and the offspring of David, the bright and morning star!

⁷ 'Ask, and it shall be given to you; seek, and you shall find; knock, and it shall be opened to you;

⁴⁰ And he comes unto the disciples, and finds them sleeping, and he said to Peter, 'So! You were not able one hour to watch with me! ⁴¹ Watch, and pray, that you may not enter into temptation: the spirit indeed is forward, but the flesh weak.' ⁴² Again, a second time, having gone away, he prayed, saying, 'My Father, if this cup cannot pass away from me except I drink it, Your will be done;' ⁴³ and having come, he finds them again sleeping, for their eyes were heavy. ⁴⁴ And having left them, having gone away again, he prayed a third time, saying the same word;

⁴⁹ While he is yet speaking, there does come a certain one from the chief of the synagogue's house, saying to him -- 'Your daughter has died, harass not the Teacher;'

⁸ 'I say to you, even if he will not give to him, having risen, because of his being his friend, yet because of his importunity, having risen, he will give him as many as he does need; ⁹ and I say to you, Ask, and it shall be given to you; seek, and you shall find; knock, and it shall be opened to you; ¹⁰ for every one who is asking does receive; and he who is seeking does find; and to him who is knocking it shall be opened.

⁵² 'Woo to you, the lawyers, because you took away the key of the knowledge; yourselves you did not enter; and those coming in, you did hinder.'

¹ And he spake also a simile to them, that it is necessary for us always to pray, and not to faint,

¹⁵ And they were bringing near also the babes, that he may touch them, and the disciples having seen did rebuke them,

³⁸ and he cried out, saying, 'Jesus, Son of David, deal kindly with me;'

³⁹ And certain of the Pharisees from the multitude said unto him, 'Teacher, rebuke your disciples;'

⁸ Concerning this thing thrice the Lord did I call upon, that it might depart from me,

²¹ and he said to her, 'What will you?' She said to him, 'Say, that they may sit -- these my two sons -- one on your right hand, and one on the left, in your reign.' ²² And Jesus answering said, 'You have not known what you ask for yourselves; are you able to drink of the cup that I am about to drink? And with the baptism that I am baptized with, to be baptized?' They say to him, 'We are able.'

²⁵ and if what we do not behold we hope for, through continuance we expect it.

³ and having stretched forth the hand, Jesus touched him, saying, 'I will, be you cleansed,' and immediately his leprosy was cleansed.

²² And Jesus having turned about, and having seen her, said, 'Be of good courage, daughter, your faith has saved you,' and the woman was saved from that hour.

²⁸ then answering, Jesus said to her, 'O woman, great is your faith, let it be to you as you will;' and her daughter was healed from that hour.

⁵⁰ and he said unto the woman, 'Your faith have saved you, be going on to peace.'

⁴⁸ and he said to her, 'Take courage, daughter, your faith has saved you, be going on to peace.'

¹⁹ and he said to him, 'Having risen, be going on, your faith has saved you.'

⁸ and the multitudes having seen, wondered, and glorified God, who did give such power to men.

²⁸ And he having come to the house, the blind men came to him, and Jesus said to them, 'Believe you that I am able to do this?' They say to him, 'Yes, sir.' ²⁹ Then touched he their eyes, saying, 'According to your faith let it be to you,' ³⁰ and their eyes were opened, and Jesus strictly charged them, saying, 'See, let no one know;'

⁵ blind receive sight, and lame walk, lepers are cleansed, and deaf hear, dead are raised, and poor have good news proclaimed,

¹⁴ And there came to him blind and lame men in the temple, and he healed them,

³⁹ and having stood over her, he rebuked the fever, and it left her, and presently, having risen, she was ministering to them.

²⁶ and astonishment took all, and they were glorifying God, and were filled with fear, saying -- 'We saw strange things to-day.'

¹⁷ And he saying these things, all who were opposed to him were being ashamed, and all the multitude were rejoicing over all the glorious things that are being done by him.

¹⁵ and one of them having seen that he was healed did turn back, with a loud voice glorifying God, ¹⁶ and he fell upon his face at his feet, giving thanks to him, and he was a Samaritan. ¹⁷ And Jesus answering said, 'Were not the ten cleansed, and the nine -- where? ¹⁸ There were not found who did turn back to give glory to God, except this alien;'

³⁷ and as he is coming near now, at the descent of the mount of the Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began rejoicing to praise God with a great voice for all the mighty works they had seen,

⁵ when I am in the world, I am a light of the world.' ⁶ These things saying, he spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and rubbed the clay on the eyes of the blind man, and said to him, ⁷ 'Go away, wash at the pool of Siloam,' which is, interpreted, Sent. He went away, therefore, and did wash, and came seeing;

³⁹ And Jesus said, 'For judgment I to this world did come, that those not seeing may see, and those seeing may become blind.' ⁴⁰ And those of the Pharisees who were with him heard these things, and they said to him, 'Are we also blind?'

²¹ And they having further threatened them, let them go, finding nothing how they may punish them, because of the people, because all were glorifying God for that which has been done,

¹⁸ And they, having heard these things, were silent, and were glorifying God, saying, 'Then, indeed, also to the nations did God give the reformation to life.'

¹⁸ to open their eyes, to turn them from darkness to light, and from the authority of the Adversary unto God, for their receiving forgiveness of sins, and a lot among those having been sanctified, by faith that is toward me.

²⁴ and they were glorifying God in me.

¹⁰ when He may come to be glorified in his saints, and to be wondered at in all those believing -- because our testimony was believed among you -- in that day; ¹¹ for which also we do pray always for you, that our God may count you worthy of the calling, and may fulfil all the good pleasure of goodness, and the work of the faith in power, ¹² that the name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified in you, and you in him, according to the grace of our God and Lord Jesus Christ.

⁹ and you are a choice race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people acquired, that the excellences you may show forth of Him who out of darkness did call you to His wondrous light;
