I beseech you, may you not afflict me!' ²⁹ For he commanded the unclean spirit to come forth from the man, for many times it had caught him, and he was being bound with chains and fetters -- guarded, and breaking asunder the bonds he was driven by the demons to the deserts. ³⁰ And Jesus questioned him, saying, 'What is your name?' and he said, 'Legion,' (because many demons were entered into him,) ³¹ and he was calling on him, that he may not command them to go away to the abyss, ³² and there was there a herd of many swine feeding in the mountain, and they were calling on him, that he might suffer them to enter into these, and he suffered them, ³³ and the demons having gone forth from the man, did enter into the swine, and the herd rushed down the steep to the lake, and were choked. ³⁴ And those feeding them, having seen what was come to pass, fled, and having gone, told it to the city, and to the fields; ³⁵ and they came forth to see what was come to pass, and they came unto Jesus, and found the man sitting, out of whom the demons had gone forth, clothed, and right-minded, at the feet of Jesus, and they were afraid; ³⁶ and those also having seen it, told them how the demoniac was saved. ³⁷ And the whole multitude of the region of the Gadarenes round about asked him to go away from them, because with great fear they were pressed, and he having entered into the boat, did turn back. ³⁸ And the man from whom the demons had gone forth was beseeching of him to be with him, and Jesus sent him away, saying, ³⁹ 'Turn back to your house, and tell how great things God did to you;' and he went away through all the city proclaiming how great things Jesus did to him. ⁴⁰ And it came to pass, in the turning back of Jesus, the multitude received him, for they were all looking for him, ⁴¹ and lo, there came a man, whose name is Jairus, and he was a chief of the synagogue, and having fallen at the feet of Jesus, was calling on him to come to his house; ⁴² because he had an only daughter about twelve years old, and she was dying.

¹¹ 'And this is the simile: The seed is the word of God, ¹² and those beside the way are those hearing, then comes the Devil, and takes up the word from their heart, lest having believed, they may be saved.

¹ Because of this it benefits us more abundantly to take heed to the things heard, lest we may glide aside,

²³ because, if any one is a hearer of the word and not a doer, this one has been like to a man viewing his natural face in a mirror, ²⁴ for he did view himself, and has gone away, and immediately he did forget of what kind he was;

⁵ and other fell upon the rocky ground, where it had not much earth, and immediately it sprang forth, because of not having depth of earth, ⁶ and the sun having risen, it was scorched, and because of not having root it did wither;

¹⁶ 'And these are they, in like manner, who on the rocky ground are sown: who, whenever they may hear the word, immediately with joy do receive it, ¹⁷ and have not root in themselves, but are temporary; afterward tribulation or persecution having come because of the word, immediately they are stumbled.

¹⁵ in its being said, 'To-day, if His voice you may hear, you may not harden your hearts, as in the provocation,'

⁷ and others fell upon the thorns, and the thorns did come up and choke them,

²² 'And that sown toward the thorns, this is he who is hearing the word, and the anxiety of this age, and the deceitfulness of the riches, do choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful.

⁷ and other fell toward the thorns, and the thorns did come up, and choke it, and fruit it gave not;

¹⁸ 'And these are they who toward the thorns are sown: these are they who are hearing the word, ¹⁹ and the anxieties of this age, and the deceitfulness of the riches, and the desires concerning the other things, entering in, choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful.

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 he who is having ears to hear -- let him hear.

²³ 'And that sown on the good ground: this is he who is hearing the word, and is understanding, who indeed does bear fruit, and does make, some indeed a hundredfold, and some sixty, and some thirty.'

⁸ and other fell to the good ground, and was giving fruit, coming up and increasing, and it bare, one thirty-fold, and one sixty, and one an hundred.'

²⁰ 'And these are they who on the good ground have been sown: who do hear the word, and receive, and do bear fruit, one thirty-fold, and one sixty, and one an hundred.'

¹⁵ 'And that in the good ground: These are they, who in an upright and good heart, having heard the word, do retain it, and bear fruit in continuance.

¹² but as many as did receive him to them he gave authority to become sons of God -- to those believing in his name, ¹³ who -- not of blood nor of a will of flesh, nor of a will of man but -- of God were begotten.

³ Jesus answered and said to him, 'Verily, verily, I say to you, If any one may not be born from above, he is not able to see the reign of God;' ⁴ Nicodemus said unto him, 'How is a man able to be born, being old? is he able into the womb of his mother a second time to enter, and to be born?' ⁵ Jesus answered, 'Verily, verily, I say to you, If any one may not be born of water, and the Spirit, he is not able to enter into the reign of God;

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.

¹⁰ to your walking worthily of the Lord to all pleasing, in every good work being fruitful, and increasing to the knowledge of God,

⁷ 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 of the tree of life that is in the midst of the paradise of God.

¹¹ He who is having an ear -- let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies: He who is overcoming may not be injured of the second death.

¹⁰ And the disciples having come near, said to him, 'Why in similes do you speak to them?'

¹⁸ 'You, therefore, hear you the simile of the sower:

³⁶ Then having let away the multitudes, Jesus came to the house, and his disciples came near to him, saying, 'Explain to us the simile of the darnel of the field.'

¹⁵ And Peter answering said to him, 'Explain to us this simile.'

¹⁰ And when he was alone, those about him, with the twelve, did ask him of the simile,

³⁴ and without a simile he was not speaking to them, and by themselves, to his disciples he was expounding all.

¹⁷ And when he entered into a house from the multitude, his disciples were questioning him about the simile, ¹⁸ and he said to them, 'So also you are without understanding! Do you not perceive that nothing from without entering into the man is able to defile him?

¹⁵ no more do I call you servants, because the servant has not known what his lord does, and you I have called friends, because all things that I heard from my Father, I did make known to you.

²⁵ At that time Jesus answering said, 'I do confess to You, Father, Lord of the heavens and of the earth, that you did hide these things from wise and understanding ones, and did reveal them to babes.

¹¹ And he answering said to them that -- 'To you it has been given to know the secrets of the reign of the heavens, and to these it has not been given, ¹² for whoever has, it shall be given to him, and he shall have overabundance, and whoever has not, even that which he has shall be taken from him. ¹³ 'Because of this, in similes do I speak to them, because seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear, nor understand, ¹⁴ and fulfilled on them is the prophecy of Isaiah, that said, With hearing you shall hear, and you shall not understand, and seeing you shall see, and you shall not perceive, ¹⁵ for made gross was the heart of this people, and with the ears they heard heavily, and their eyes they did close, lest they might see with the eyes, and with the ears might hear, and with the heart understand, and turn back, and I might heal them. ¹⁶ 'And blessed are your eyes because they see, and your ears because they hear, ¹⁷ for verily I say to you, that many prophets and righteous men did desire to see that which you look on, and they did not see, and to hear that which you hear, and they did not hear.

¹⁷ And Jesus answering said to him, 'Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jona, because flesh and blood did not reveal it to you, but my Father who is in the heavens.

¹¹ and he said to them, 'To you it has been given to know the secret of the reign of God, but to those who are without, in similes are all the things done;

²¹ In that hour was Jesus glad in the Spirit, and said, 'I do confess to you, Father, Lord of the heaven and of the earth, that You did hide these things from wise men and understanding, and did reveal them to babes; yes, Father, because so it became good pleasure before You. ²² 'All things were delivered up to me by my Father, and no one does know who the Son is, except the Father, and who the Father is, except the Son, and he to whom the Son may wish to reveal Him.' ²³ And having turned unto the disciples, he said, by themselves, 'Happy the eyes that are perceiving what you perceive; ²⁴ for I say to you, that many prophets and kings did wish to see what you perceive, and did not see, and to hear what you hear, and did not hear.'

⁴⁰ 'He has blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart, that they might not see with the eyes, and understand with the heart, and turn back, and I might heal them;'

²⁶ saying, Go on unto this people and say, With hearing you shall hear, and you shall not understand, and seeing you shall see, and you shall not perceive, ²⁷ for made gross was the heart of this people, and with the ears they heard heavily, and their eyes they did close, lest they may see with the eyes, and with the heart may understand, and be turned back, and I may heal them.

⁷ What then? What Israel does seek after, this it did not obtain, and the chosen did obtain, and the rest were hardened, ⁸ according as it has been written, 'God gave to them a spirit of deep sleep, eyes not to see, and ears not to hear,' -- unto this very day, ⁹ and David says, 'Let their table become for a snare, and for a trap, and for a stumbling-block, and for a recompense to them; ¹⁰ let their eyes be darkened -- not to behold, and their back do You always bow down.'

²⁵ And to Him who is able to establish you, according to my good news, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the secret, in the times of the ages having been kept silent,

⁷ but we speak the hidden wisdom of God in a secret, that God foreordained before the ages to our glory, ⁸ which no one of the rulers of this age did know, for if they had known, the Lord of the glory they would not have crucified; ⁹ but, according as it has been written, 'What eye did not see, and ear did not hear, and upon the heart of man came not up, what God did prepare for those loving Him --' ¹⁰ but to us did God reveal them through His Spirit, for the Spirit all things does search, even the depths of God, ¹¹ for who of men have known the things of the man, except the spirit of the man that is in him? so also the things of God no one has known, except the Spirit of God.

¹¹ and all these does work the one and the same Spirit, dividing to each severally as he intends.

³ that by revelation He made known to me the secret, according as I wrote before in few words -- ⁴ in regard to which you are able, reading it, to understand my knowledge in the secret of the Christ, ⁵ which in other generations was not made known to the sons of men, as it was now revealed to His holy apostles and prophets in the Spirit -- ⁶ that the nations be fellow-heirs, and of the same body, and partakers of His promise in the Christ, through the good news, ⁷ of which I became a minister, according to the gift of the grace of God that was given to me, according to the working of His power; ⁸ to me -- the less than the least of all the saints -- was given this grace, among the nations to proclaim good news -- the untraceable riches of the Christ, ⁹ and to cause all to see what is the fellowship\'7bMT reads "administration"\'7d of the secret that has been hid from the ages in God, who the all things did create by Jesus Christ,

²⁶ the secret that has been hid from the ages and from the generations, but now was manifested to his saints, ²⁷ to whom God did will to make known what is the riches of the glory of this secret among the nations -- which is Christ in you, the hope of the glory, ²⁸ whom we proclaim, warning every man, and teaching every man, in all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus,

² that their hearts may be comforted, being united in love, and to all riches of the full assurance of the understanding, to the full knowledge of the secret of the God and Father, and of the Christ,

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!

¹⁰ concerning which salvation seek out and search out did prophets who concerning the grace toward you did prophecy, ¹¹ searching in regard to what or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ that was in them was manifesting, testifying beforehand the sufferings of Christ and the glory after these, ¹² to whom it was revealed, that not to themselves, but to us they were ministering these, which now were told to you (through those who did proclaim good news to you,) in the Holy Spirit sent from heaven, to which things messengers do desire to bend looking.

¹⁴ He who is sowing does sow the word; ¹⁵ and these are they by the way where the word is sown: and whenever they may hear, immediately comes the Adversary, and he takes away the word that has been sown in their hearts. ¹⁶ 'And these are they, in like manner, who on the rocky ground are sown: who, whenever they may hear the word, immediately with joy do receive it, ¹⁷ and have not root in themselves, but are temporary; afterward tribulation or persecution having come because of the word, immediately they are stumbled. ¹⁸ 'And these are they who toward the thorns are sown: these are they who are hearing the word, ¹⁹ and the anxieties of this age, and the deceitfulness of the riches, and the desires concerning the other things, entering in, choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful. ²⁰ 'And these are they who on the good ground have been sown: who do hear the word, and receive, and do bear fruit, one thirty-fold, and one sixty, and one an hundred.'

⁶ I planted, Apollos watered, but God was giving growth; ⁷ so that neither is he who is planting anything, nor he who is watering, but He who is giving growth -- God;

⁹ for of God we are fellow-workmen; God's tillage, God's building you are. ¹⁰ According to the grace of God that was given to me, as a wise master-builder, a foundation I have laid, and another does build on it, ¹¹ for other foundation no one is able to lay except that which is laid, which is Jesus the Christ; ¹² and if any one does build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw --

²¹ wherefore having put aside all filthiness and superabundance of evil, in meekness be receiving the engrafted word, that is able to save your souls;

²³ being begotten again, not out of seed corruptible, but incorruptible, through a word of God -- living and remaining -- to the age; ²⁴ because all flesh is as grass, and all glory of man as flower of grass; wither did the grass, and the flower of it fell away, ²⁵ and the saying of the Lord does remain -- to the age; and this is the saying that was proclaimed good news to you.

⁵ 'The sower went forth to sow his seed, and in his sowing some indeed fell beside the way, and it was trodden down, and the fowls of the heaven did devour it.

⁹ him, whose presence is according to the working of the Adversary, in all power, and signs, and lying wonders, ¹⁰ and in all deceitfulness of the unrighteousness in those perishing, because the love of the truth they did not receive for their being saved, ¹¹ and because of this shall God send to them a working of delusion, for their believing the lie, ¹² that they may be judged -- all who did not believe the truth, but were well pleased in the unrighteousness. ¹³ And we -- we ought to give thanks to God always for you, brethren, beloved by the Lord, that God did choose you from the beginning to salvation, in sanctification of the Spirit, and belief of the truth, ¹⁴ to which He did call you through our good news, to the acquiring of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ;

⁹ and the great dragon was cast forth -- the old serpent, who is called 'Devil,' and 'the Adversary,' who is leading astray the whole world -- he was cast forth to the earth, and his messengers were cast forth with him.

²⁰ for Herod was fearing John, knowing him a man righteous and holy, and was keeping watch over him, and having heard him, was doing many things, and hearing him gladly.

³¹ And the Lord said, 'Simon, Simon, lo, the Adversary did ask you for himself to sift as the wheat, ³² and I besought for you, that your faith may not fail; and you, when you did turn, strengthen your brethren.'

²³ And as he was in Jerusalem, in the passover, in the feast, many believed in his name, beholding his signs that he was doing; ²⁴ and Jesus himself was not trusting himself to them, because of his knowing all men, ²⁵ and because he had no need that any should testify concerning man, for he himself was knowing what was in man.

³⁵ he was the burning and shining lamp, and you did will to be glad, for an hour, in his light.

³⁰ As he is speaking these things, many believed in him; ³¹ Jesus, therefore, said unto the Jews who believed in him, 'If you may remain in my word, truly my disciples you are, and you shall know the truth, ³² and the truth shall make you free.'

⁴² Still, however, also out of the rulers did many believe in him, but because of the Pharisees they were not confessing, that they might not be put out of the synagogue, ⁴³ for they loved the glory of men more than the glory of God.

² every branch in me not bearing fruit, He does take it away, and every one bearing fruit, He does cleanse by pruning it, that it may bear more fruit;

⁶ if any one may not remain in me, he was cast forth without as the branch, and was withered, and they gather them, and cast to fire, and they are burned;

¹³ and Simon also himself did believe, and, having been baptized, he was continuing with Philip, beholding also signs and mighty acts being done, he was amazed. ¹⁴ And the apostles in Jerusalem having heard that Samaria has received the word of God, did send unto them Peter and John, ¹⁵ who having come down did pray concerning them, that they may receive the Holy Spirit, -- ¹⁶ for as yet he was fallen upon none of them, and only they have been baptized -- to the name of the Lord Jesus; ¹⁷ then were they laying hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit. ¹⁸ And Simon, having beheld that through the laying on of the hands of the apostles, the Holy Spirit is given, brought before them money, ¹⁹ saying, 'Give also to me this authority, that on whomsoever I may lay the hands, he may receive the Holy Spirit.' ²⁰ And Peter said unto him, 'Your silver with you -- may it be to destruction! because the gift of God you did think to possess through money; ²¹ you have neither part nor lot in this thing, for your heart is not right before God; ²² reform, therefore, from this your wickedness, and beseech God, if then the purpose of your heart may be forgiven you, ²³ for in the gall of bitterness, and bond of unrighteousness, I perceive you being.'

² and if I have prophecy, and know all the secrets, and all the knowledge, and if I have all the faith, so as to remove mountains, and have not love, I am nothing;

² through which also you are being saved, in what words I proclaimed good news to you, if you hold fast, except you did believe in vain,

¹ O thoughtless Galatians, who did bewitch you, not to obey the truth -- before whose eyes Jesus Christ was described before among you crucified?

⁴ so many things did you suffer in vain! if, indeed, even in vain.

¹⁵ what then was your happiness? for I testify to you, that if possible, your eyes having plucked out, you would have given to me; ¹⁶ so that your enemy have I become, being true to you? ¹⁷ they are zealous for you -- yet not well, but they wish to shut us out, that for them you may be zealous; ¹⁸ and it is good to be zealously regarded, in what is good, at all times, and not only in my being present with you; ¹⁹ my little children, of whom again I travail in birth, till Christ may be formed in you, ²⁰ and I was wishing to be present with you now, and to change my voice, because I am in doubt about you.

¹⁷ that the Christ may dwell through the faith in your hearts, in love having been rooted and founded,

²³ if also you remain in the faith, being founded and settled, and not moved away from the hope of the good news, which you heard, which was preached in all the creation that is under the heaven, of which I became -- I Paul -- a minister.

⁷ being rooted and built up in him, and confirmed in the faith, as you were taught -- abounding in it in thanksgiving.

⁵ because of this also, I, no longer forbearing, did send to know your faith, lest he who is tempting did tempt you, and in vain might be our labour.

¹⁹ having faith and a good conscience, which certain having thrust away, concerning the faith did make shipwreck,

¹⁸ who concerning the truth did swerve, saying the rising again to have already been, and do overthrow the faith of some; ¹⁹ sure, nevertheless, has the foundation of God stood, having this seal, 'The Lord has known those who are His,' and 'Let him depart from unrighteousness -- every one who is naming the name of Christ.'

³⁹ and we are not of those drawing back to destruction, but of those believing to a preserving of soul.

²⁶ for as the body apart from the spirit is dead, so also the faith apart from the works is dead.

²⁰ for, if having escaped from the pollutions of the world, in the acknowledging of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, and by these again being entangled, they have been overcome, become to them has the last things worse than the first,

²² and happened to them has that of the true similitude; 'A dog did turn back upon his own vomit,' and, 'A sow having bathed herself -- to rolling in mire.'

¹⁹ out of us they went forth, but they were not of us, for if they had been of us, they would have remained with us; but -- that they might be manifested that they are not all of us.

¹² These are in your love-feasts craggy rocks; feasting together with you, without fear shepherding themselves; clouds without water, by winds carried about; trees autumnal, without fruit, twice dead, rooted up;

²⁴ 'None is able to serve two lords, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will hold to the one, and despise the other; you are not able to serve God and Mammon. ²⁵ 'Because of this I say to you, be not anxious for your life, what you may eat, and what you may drink, nor for your body, what you may put on. Is not the life more than the nourishment, and the body than the clothing?

¹⁹ and the anxieties of this age, and the deceitfulness of the riches, and the desires concerning the other things, entering in, choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful.

⁷ 'And other fell amidst the thorns, and the thorns having sprung up with it, did choke it.

⁶ And he spake this simile: 'A certain one had a fig-tree planted in his vineyard, and he came seeking fruit in it, and he did not find; ⁷ and he said unto the vine-dresser, Lo, three years I come seeking fruit in this fig-tree, and do not find, cut it off, why also the ground does it render useless? ⁸ 'And he answering said to him, Sir, suffer it also this year, till that I may dig about it, and cast in dung; ⁹ and if indeed it may bear fruit --; and if not so, thereafter you shall cut it off.'

¹³ 'No domestic is able to serve two lords, for either the one he will hate, and the other he will love; or one he will hold to, and of the other he will be heedless; you are not able to serve God and mammon.'

²⁶ 'And, as it came to pass in the days of Noah, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of Man; ²⁷ they were eating, they were drinking, they were marrying, they were given in marriage, till the day that Noah entered into the ark, and the deluge came, and destroyed all; ²⁸ in like manner also, as it came to pass in the days of Lot; they were eating, they were drinking, they were buying, they were selling, they were planting, they were building; ²⁹ and on the day Lot went forth from Sodom, He rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed all. ³⁰ 'According to these things it shall be, in the day the Son of Man is revealed;

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.'

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;

¹⁷ Those rich in the present age charge you not to be high-minded, nor to hope in the uncertainty of riches, but in the living God, who is giving to us all things richly for enjoyment; --

¹⁰ for Demas forsook me, having loved the present age, and went on to Thessalonica, Crescens to Galatia, Titus to Dalmatia,

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, ¹⁶ because all that is in the world -- the desire of the flesh, and the desire of the eyes, and the ostentation of the life -- is not of the Father, but of the world, ¹⁷ and the world does pass away, and the desire of it, and he who is doing the will of God, he does remain -- to the age.

¹³ but he who did endure to the end, he shall be saved;

⁴⁵ 'The good man out of the good treasure of his heart does bring forth that which is good; and the evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart does bring forth that which is evil; for out of the abounding of the heart does his mouth speak.

²⁸ And he said, 'Yea, rather, happy those hearing the word of God, and keeping it!'

¹⁵ 'If you love me, my commands keep,

²¹ he who is having my commands, and is keeping them, that one it is who is loving me, and he who is loving me shall be loved by my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.' ²² Judas said to him, (not the Iscariot), 'Sir, what has come to pass, that to us you are about to manifest yourself, and not to the world?' ²³ Jesus answered and said to him, 'If any one may love me, my word he will keep, and my Father will love him, and unto him we will come, and abode with him we will make; ²⁴ he who is not loving me, my words does not keep; and the word that you hear is not mine, but the Father's who sent me.

¹⁰ if my commandments you may keep, you shall remain in my love, according as I the commands of my Father have kept, and do remain in His love;

⁷ to those, indeed, who in continuance of a good work, do seek glory, and honour, and incorruptibility -- life age-during;

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;

⁴ So that, my brethren, you also were made dead to the law through the body of the Christ, for your becoming another's, who out of the dead was raised up, that we might bear fruit to God;

¹⁸ for I have known that there does not dwell in me, that is, in my flesh, good: for to will is present with me, and to work that which is right I do not find, ¹⁹ the circumcision is nothing, and the uncircumcision is nothing -- but a keeping of the commands of God.

²² And the fruit of the Spirit is: Love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, faith, ²³ meekness, temperance: against such there is no law; ²⁴ and those who are Christ's, the flesh did crucify with the affections, and the desires; ²⁵ if we may live in the Spirit, in the Spirit also we may walk; ²⁶ let us not become vain-glorious -- one another provoking, one another envying!

⁸ for by grace you are having been saved, through faith, and this not of you -- of God the gift,

¹¹ being filled with the fruit of righteousness, that is through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.

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 -- ¹⁴ to the mark I pursue for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. ¹⁵ As many, therefore, as are perfect -- let us think this, and if in anything you think otherwise, this also shall God reveal to you,

⁶ which is present to you, as also in all the world, and is bearing fruit, as also in you, from the day in which you heard, and knew the grace of God in truth;

¹¹ and we desire each one of you the same diligence to show, unto the full assurance of the hope unto the end, ¹² that you may not become slothful, but followers of those who through faith and patient endurance are inheriting the promises.

³⁶ for of patience you have need, that the will of God having done, you may receive the promise,

⁴ and let the endurance have a perfect work, that you may be perfect and entire -- in nothing lacking;

¹⁶ Be not led astray, my brethren beloved; 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; ¹⁸ having counselled, He did beget us with a word of truth, for our being a certain first-fruit of His creatures. ¹⁹ So then, my brethren beloved, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger,

²² and become you doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves, ²³ because, if any one is a hearer of the word and not a doer, this one has been like to a man viewing his natural face in a mirror, ²⁴ for he did view himself, and has gone away, and immediately he did forget of what kind he was; ²⁵ and he who did look into the perfect law -- that of liberty, and did continue there, this one -- not a forgetful hearer becoming, but a doer of work -- this one shall be happy in his doing.

⁷ Be patient, then, brethren, till the presence of the Lord; lo, the husbandman does expect the precious fruit of the earth, being patient for it, till he may receive rain -- early and latter; ⁸ be patient, you also; establish your hearts, because the presence of the Lord has drawn near;

¹ Having put aside, then, all evil, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envyings, and all evil speakings, ² as new-born babes the word's pure milk desire you, that in it you may grow, ³ and in this we know that we have known him, if his commands we may keep;

¹⁵ nor do they light a lamp, and put it under the measure, but on the lamp-stand, and it shines to all those in the house; ¹⁶ so let your light shine before men, that they may see your good works, and may glorify your Father who is in the heavens.

²¹ And he said to them, 'Does the lamp come that under the measure it may be put, or under the couch -- not that it may be put on the lamp-stand? ²² for there is not anything hid that may not be manifested, nor was anything kept hid but that it may come to light.

³³ 'And no one having lighted a lamp, does put it in a secret place, nor under the measure, but on the lamp-stand, that those coming in may behold the light.

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.

¹⁵ that you may become blameless and harmless, children of God, unblemished in the midst of a generation crooked and perverse, among whom you do appear as luminaries in the world, ¹⁶ the word of life holding forth, for rejoicing to me in regard to a day of Christ, that not in vain did I run, nor in vain did I labour;

²⁰ the secret of the seven stars that you have seen upon my right hand, and the seven golden lamp-stands: the seven stars are messengers of the seven assemblies, and the seven lamp-stands that you have seen are seven assemblies.

⁴ These are the two olive trees, and the two lamp-stands that before the God of the earth do stand;

²⁶ 'You may not, therefore, fear them, for there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed, and hid, that shall not be known;

²² for there is not anything hid that may not be manifested, nor was anything kept hid but that it may come to light.

² and there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known; ³ because whatever in the darkness you said, in the light shall be heard: and what to the ear you spake in the inner-chambers, shall be proclaimed upon the house-tops.

⁵ so, then, nothing before the time judge you, till the Lord may come, who will both bring to light the hidden things of the darkness, and will manifest the counsels of the hearts, and then the praise shall come to each from God.

²² Many will say to me in that day, Lord, lord, have we not in your name prophesied? And in your name cast out demons? And in your name done many mighty things? ²³ And then I will acknowledge to them, that -- I never knew you, depart from me you who are working lawlessness.

¹² for whoever has, it shall be given to him, and he shall have overabundance, and whoever has not, even that which he has shall be taken from him.

²⁹ for to every one having shall be given, and he shall have overabundance, and from him who is not having, even that which he has shall be taken from him;

²³ If any has ears to hear -- let him hear.' ²⁴ And he said to them, 'Take heed what you hear; in what measure you measure, it shall be measured to you; and to you who hear it shall be added; ²⁵ for whoever may have, there shall be given to him, and whoever has not, also that which he has shall be taken from him.'

¹⁴ 'And when you may see the abomination of the desolation, that was spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, (whoever is reading let him understand), then those in Judea, let them flee to the mountains;

⁴⁴ 'Lay you to your ears these words, for the Son of Man is about to be delivered up to the hands of men.'

²⁰ 'And God said to him, Unthinking one! this night your soul they shall require from you, and what things you did prepare -- to whom shall they be? ²¹ so is he who is treasuring up to himself, and is not rich toward God.'

² and having called him, he said to him, What is this I hear about you? render the account of your stewardship, for you may not any longer be steward. ³ 'And the steward said in himself, What shall I do, because my lord does take away the stewardship from me? to dig I am not able, to beg I am ashamed: -- ⁴ I have known what I shall do, that, when I may be removed from the stewardship, they may receive me to their houses.

¹⁹ 'And -- a certain man was rich, and was clothed in purple and fine linen, making merry sumptuously every day, 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. ²² 'And it came to pass, that the poor man died, and that he was carried away by the messengers to the bosom of Abraham -- and the rich man also died, and was buried; ²³ and in the hades having lifted up his eyes, being in torments, he does see Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom, ²⁴ and having cried, he said, Father Abraham, deal kindly with me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and may cool my tongue, because I am distressed in this flame. ²⁵ 'And Abraham said, Child, remember that you did receive -- you -- your good things in your life, and Lazarus in like manner the evil things, and now he is comforted, and you are distressed;

²⁶ for I say to you, that to every one having shall be given, and from him not having, also what he has shall be taken from him,

³³ at once, therefore, I sent to you; you also did do well, having come; now, therefore, are we all before God present to hear all things that have been commanded you by God.'

¹¹ and these were more noble than those in Thessalonica, they received the word with all readiness of mind, every day examining the Writings whether those things were so;

³ For I say, through the grace that was given to me, to every one who is among you, not to think above what it behooves to think; but to think so as to think wisely, as to each God did deal a measure of faith,

¹⁸ Let no one deceive himself; if any one does seem to be wise among you in this age -- let him become a fool, that he may become wise,

² and if any one does think to know anything, he has not yet known anything according as it behooves him to know;

¹ If with the tongues of men and of messengers I speak, and have not love, I have become brass sounding, or a cymbal tinkling; ² and if I have prophecy, and know all the secrets, and all the knowledge, and if I have all the faith, so as to remove mountains, and have not love, I am nothing; ³ and if I give away to feed others all my goods, and if I give up my body that I may be burned, and have not love, I am profited nothing.

³⁷ if any one does think to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him acknowledge the things that I write to you -- that of the Lord they are commands;

⁴ though I also have cause of trust in flesh. If any other one doth think to have trust in flesh, I more;

¹⁹ So then, my brethren beloved, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger, ²⁰ for the wrath of a man the righteousness of God does not work; ²¹ wherefore having put aside all filthiness and superabundance of evil, in meekness be receiving the engrafted word, that is able to save your souls; ²² and become you doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves, ²³ because, if any one is a hearer of the word and not a doer, this one has been like to a man viewing his natural face in a mirror, ²⁴ for he did view himself, and has gone away, and immediately he did forget of what kind he was; ²⁵ and he who did look into the perfect law -- that of liberty, and did continue there, this one -- not a forgetful hearer becoming, but a doer of work -- this one shall be happy in his doing. ²⁶ If any one does think to be religious among you, not bridling his tongue, but deceiving his heart, of this one vain is the religion;

⁴⁶ And while he was yet speaking to the multitudes, lo, his mother and brethren had stood without, seeking to speak to him, ⁴⁷ and one said to him, 'Lo, your mother and your brethren do stand without, seeking to speak to you.' ⁴⁸ And he answering said to him who spoke to him, 'Who is my mother? And who are my brethren?' ⁴⁹ And having stretched forth his hand toward his disciples, he said, 'Lo, my mother and my brethren! ⁵⁰ For whoever may do the will of my Father who is in the heavens, he is my brother, and sister, and mother.'

²¹ and his friends having heard, went forth to lay hold on him, for they said that he was beside himself,

³¹ Then come do his brethren and mother, and standing without, they sent unto him, calling him, ³² and a multitude was sitting about him, and they said to him, 'Lo, your mother and your brethren without do seek you.' ³³ And he answered them, saying, 'Who is my mother, or my brethren?' ³⁴ And having looked round in a circle to those sitting about him, he said, 'Lo, my mother and my brethren! ³⁵ for whoever may do the will of God, he is my brother, and my sister, and mother.'

⁵⁵ Is not this the carpenter's son? Is not his mother called Mary, and his brethren James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas? ⁵⁶ And his sisters -- are they not all with us? Why, then, to this one all these?'

³ Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, and brother of James, and Joses, and Judas, and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us?' -- and they were being stumbled at him.

³ his brethren, therefore, said unto him, 'Remove hence, and go away to Judea, that your disciples also may behold your works that you do; ⁴ for no one in secret does anything, and himself seeks to be in public; if you do these things -- manifest yourself to the world;' ⁵ for not even were his brethren believing in him. ⁶ Jesus, therefore, said to them, 'My time is not yet present, but your time is always ready;

⁵ have we not authority a sister -- a wife -- to lead about, as also the other apostles, and the brethren of the Lord, and Cephas?

¹⁹ and other of the apostles I did not see, except James, the brother of the Lord.

²¹ 'Not every one who is saying to me Lord, lord, shall come into the reign of the heavens; but he who is doing the will of my Father who is in the heavens. ²² Many will say to me in that day, Lord, lord, have we not in your name prophesied? And in your name cast out demons? And in your name done many mighty things? ²³ And then I will acknowledge to them, that -- I never knew you, depart from me you who are working lawlessness. ²⁴ 'Therefore, every one who does hear of me these words, and does do them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house upon the rock; ²⁵ and the rain did descend, and the streams came, and the winds blew, and they beat on that house, and it fell not, for it had been founded on the rock. ²⁶ 'And every one who is hearing of me these words, and is not doing them, shall be likened to a foolish man who built his house upon the sand;

⁵ While he is yet speaking, lo, a bright cloud overshadowed them, and lo, a voice out of the cloud, saying, 'This is My Son, -- the Beloved, in whom I did delight; hear him.'

⁴⁵ 'Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say to you, Inasmuch as you did it not to one of these, the least, you did it not to me.

¹⁰ Then said Jesus to them, 'Fear you not, go away, tell to my brethren that they may go away to Galilee, and there they shall see me.'

²⁷ And it came to pass, in his saying these things, a certain woman having lifted up the voice out of the multitude, said to him, 'Happy the womb that carried you, and the paps that you did suck!' ²⁸ And he said, 'Yea, rather, happy those hearing the word of God, and keeping it!'

²⁸ They said therefore unto him, 'What may we do that we may work the works of God?' ²⁹ Jesus answered and said to them, 'This is the work of God, that you may believe in him whom He did send.'

¹⁷ if these things you have known, happy are you, if you may do them;

¹⁴ you are my friends, if you may do whatever I command you; ¹⁵ no more do I call you servants, because the servant has not known what his lord does, and you I have called friends, because all things that I heard from my Father, I did make known to you.

¹⁷ Jesus said to her, 'Be not touching me, for I have not yet ascended unto my Father; and be going on to my brethren, and say to them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father, and to my God, and to your God.'

¹⁶ So that we henceforth have known no one according to the flesh, and even if we have known Christ according to the flesh, yet now we know him no more;

¹⁸ and I will be to you for a Father, and you -- you shall be to Me for sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty.'

¹¹ for both he who is sanctifying and those sanctified are all of one, for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren, ¹² saying, 'I will declare Your name to my brethren, in the midst of an assembly I will sing praise to You;' and again, 'I will be trusting on Him;' ¹³ and again, 'Behold I and the children that God did give to me.'

²² and become you doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves,

²⁹ if you know that he is righteous, know you that every one doing the righteousness, of him has been begotten.

²² and whatever we may ask, we receive from Him, because His commands we keep, and the things pleasing before Him we do, ²³ and this is His command, that we may believe in the name of His Son Jesus Christ, and may love one another, even as He did give command to us,

¹¹ Beloved, be not you following that which is evil, but that which is good; he who is doing good, of God he is, and he who is doing evil has not seen God;

¹⁸ And Jesus having seen great multitudes about him, did command to depart to the other side;

²³ And when he entered into the boat his disciples did follow him, ²⁴ and lo, a great tempest arose in the sea, so that the boat was being covered by the waves, but he was sleeping, ²⁵ and his disciples having come to him, awoke him, saying, 'Sir, save us; we are perishing.' ²⁶ And he said to them, 'Why are you fearful, O you of little faith?' Then having risen, he rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was a great calm; ²⁷ and the men wondered, saying, 'What kind -- is this, that even the wind and the sea do obey him?'

²² And immediately Jesus constrained his disciples to go into the boat, and to go before him to the other side, till he might let away the multitudes;

³⁵ And he said to them on that day, evening having come, 'We may pass over to the other side;' ³⁶ and having let away the multitude, they take him up as he was in the boat, and other little boats also were with him. ³⁷ And there comes a great storm of wind, and the waves were beating on the boat, so that it is now being filled, ³⁸ and he himself was upon the stern, upon the pillow sleeping, and they wake him up, and say to him, 'Teacher, are you not caring that we perish?' ³⁹ And having waked up, he rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, 'Peace, be stilled;' and the wind did lull, and there was a great calm: ⁴⁰ and he said to them, 'Why are you so fearful? how have you not faith?' ⁴¹ and they feared a great fear, and said one to another, 'Who, then, is this, that even the wind and the sea do obey him?'

²¹ And Jesus having passed over in the boat again to the other side, there was gathered a great multitude to him, and he was near the sea,

⁴⁵ And immediately he constrained his disciples to go into the boat, and to go before to the other side, unto Bethsaida, till he may let the multitude away,

¹³ And having left them, having entered again into the boat, he went away to the other side;

¹ And it came to pass, in the multitude pressing on him to hear the word of God, that he was standing beside the lake of Gennesaret,

²³ and as they are sailing he fell deeply asleep, and there came down a storm of wind to the lake, and they were filling, and were in peril.

¹ After these things Jesus went away beyond the sea of Galilee (of Tiberias),

²² And it came to pass, on one of the days, that he himself went into a boat with his disciples, and he said unto them, 'We may go over to the other side of the lake;' and they set forth,

¹⁴ and not long after there arose against it a tempestuous wind, that is called Euroclydon, ¹⁵ and the ship being caught, and not being able to bear up against the wind, having given her up, we were borne on, ¹⁶ and having run under a certain little isle, called Clauda, we were hardly able to become masters of the boat, ¹⁷ which having taken up, they were using helps, undergirding the ship, and fearing lest they may fall on the quicksand, having let down the mast -- so were borne on. ¹⁸ And we, being exceedingly tempest-tossed, the succeeding day they were making a clearing, ¹⁹ and on the third day with our own hands the tackling of the ship we cast out, ²⁰ and neither sun nor stars appearing for more days, and not a little tempest lying upon us, thenceforth all hope was taken away of our being saved.

¹⁵ for we have not a chief priest unable to sympathize with our infirmities, but one tempted in all things in like manner -- apart from sin;

³⁰ but seeing the wind vehement, he was afraid, and having begun to sink, he cried out, saying, 'Sir, save me.'

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

⁵ and Simon answering said to him, 'Master, through the whole night, having laboured, we have taken nothing, but at your saying I will let down the net.'

² and also Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the marriage; ³ and wine having failed, the mother of Jesus said unto him, 'Wine they have not;' ⁴ Jesus said to her, 'What -- to me and to you, woman? not yet is mine hour come.' ⁵ His mother said to the ministrants, 'Whatever he may say to you -- do.' ⁶ And there were there six water-jugs of stone, placed according to the purifying of the Jews, holding each two or three measures.

⁹ but we ourselves in ourselves the sentence of the death have had, that we may not be trusting on ourselves, but on God, who is raising the dead, ¹⁰ who out of so great a death did deliver us, and does deliver, in whom we have hoped that even yet He will deliver;

³⁰ 'And if the herb of the field, that to-day is, and to-morrow is cast to the furnace, God does so clothe -- not much more you, O you of little faith?

²⁶ And he said to them, 'Why are you fearful, O you of little faith?' Then having risen, he rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was a great calm;

³¹ And immediately Jesus, having stretched forth the hand, laid hold of him, and said to him, 'Little faith! For what did you waver?'

²⁰ And Jesus said to them, 'Through your want of faith; for verily I say to you, if you may have faith as a grain of mustard, you shall say to this mount, Remove hence to yonder place, and it shall remove, and nothing shall be impossible to you,

²⁸ and if the herbage in the field, that to-day is, and to-morrow into an oven is cast, God does so clothe, how much more you -- you of little faith?

⁴⁰ Jesus said to her, 'Said I not to you, that if you may believe, you shall see the glory of God?'

²⁸ And he having come to the other side, to the region of the Gergesenes, there met him two demoniacs, coming forth out of the tombs, very fierce, so that no one was able to pass over by that way, ²⁹ and lo, they cried out, saying, 'What -- to us and to you, Jesus, Son of God? Did you come here, before the time, to afflict us?' ³⁰ And there was far off from them a herd of many swine feeding, ³¹ and the demons were calling on him, saying, 'If you do cast us forth, permit us to go away to the herd of the swine;' ³² and he said to them, 'Go.' And having come forth, they went to the herd of the swine, and lo, the whole herd of the swine rushed down the steep, to the sea, and died in the waters, ³³ and those feeding did flee, and, having gone to the city, they declared all, and the matter of the demoniacs. ³⁴ And lo, all the city came forth to meet Jesus, and having seen him, they called on him that he might depart from their borders.

¹ And they came to the other side of the sea, to the region of the Gadarenes, ² and he having come forth out of the boat, immediately there met him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit, ³ who had his dwelling in the tombs, and not even with chains was any one able to bind him, ⁴ because that he many times with fetters and chains had been bound, and pulled in pieces by him had been the chains, and the fetters broken in pieces, and none was able to tame him, ⁵ and always, night and day, in the mountains, and in the tombs he was, crying and cutting himself with stones. ⁶ And, having seen Jesus from afar, he ran and bowed before him, ⁷ and having called with a loud voice, he said, 'What -- to me and to you, Jesus, Son of God the Most High? I adjure you by God, may you not afflict me!' ⁸ (for he said to him, 'Come forth, spirit unclean, out of the man,') ⁹ and he was questioning him, 'What is your name?' and he answered, saying, 'Legion is my name, because we are many;' ¹⁰ and he was calling on him much, that he may not send them out of the region. ¹¹ And there was there, near the mountains, a great herd of swine feeding, ¹² and all the demons did call upon him, saying, 'Send us to the swine, that into them we may enter;' ¹³ and immediately Jesus gave them leave, and having come forth, the unclean spirits did enter into the swine, and the herd did rush down the steep place to the sea -- and they were about two thousand -- and they were choked in the sea. ¹⁴ And those feeding the swine did flee, and told in the city, and in the fields, and they came forth to see what it is that has been done; ¹⁵ and they come unto Jesus, and see the demoniac, sitting, and clothed, and right-minded -- him having had the legion -- and they were afraid; ¹⁶ and those having seen it, declared to them how it had come to pass to the demoniac, and about the swine; ¹⁷ and they began to call upon him to go away from their borders. ¹⁸ And he having gone into the boat, the demoniac was calling on him that he may be with him, ¹⁹ and Jesus did not suffer him, but said to him, 'Go away to your house, unto your own friends, and tell them how great things the Lord did to you, and dealt kindly with you. ²⁰ And he went away, and began to proclaim in the Decapolis how great things Jesus did to him, and all were wondering.

² and he having come forth out of the boat, immediately there met him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit, ³ who had his dwelling in the tombs, and not even with chains was any one able to bind him, ⁴ because that he many times with fetters and chains had been bound, and pulled in pieces by him had been the chains, and the fetters broken in pieces, and none was able to tame him, ⁵ and always, night and day, in the mountains, and in the tombs he was, crying and cutting himself with stones.

²⁹ and lo, they cried out, saying, 'What -- to us and to you, Jesus, Son of God? Did you come here, before the time, to afflict us?'

²⁴ saying, 'Away! what -- to us and to you, Jesus the Nazarene? you did come to destroy us; I have known you who you are -- the Holy One of God.' ²⁵ And Jesus rebuked him, saying, 'Be silenced, and come forth out of him,' ²⁶ and the unclean spirit having torn him, and having cried with a great voice, came forth out of him, ²⁷ and they were all amazed, so as to reason among themselves, saying, 'What is this? what new teaching is this? that with authority also the unclean spirits he commands, and they obey him!'

⁶ And, having seen Jesus from afar, he ran and bowed before him, ⁷ and having called with a loud voice, he said, 'What -- to me and to you, Jesus, Son of God the Most High? I adjure you by God, may you not afflict me!' ⁸ (for he said to him, 'Come forth, spirit unclean, out of the man,')

³³ And in the synagogue was a man, having a spirit of an unclean demon, and he cried out with a great voice, ³⁴ saying, 'Away, what -- to us and to you, Jesus, O Nazarene? you did come to destroy us; I have known you who you are -- the Holy One of God.' ³⁵ And Jesus did rebuke him, saying, 'Be silenced, and come forth out of him;' and the demon having cast him into the midst, came forth from him, having hurt him nought; ³⁶ and amazement came upon all, and they were speaking together, with one another, saying, 'What is this word, that with authority and power he does command the unclean spirits, and they come forth?'

³⁷ And the whole multitude of the region of the Gadarenes round about asked him to go away from them, because with great fear they were pressed, and he having entered into the boat, did turn back. ³⁸ And the man from whom the demons had gone forth was beseeching of him to be with him, and Jesus sent him away, saying,

¹⁶ And it came to pass in our going on to prayer, a certain maid, having a spirit of Python, did meet us, who brought much employment to her masters by soothsaying, ¹⁷ she having followed Paul and us, was crying, saying, 'These men are servants of the Most High God, who declare to us a way of salvation;' ¹⁸ and this she was doing for many days, but Paul having been grieved, and having turned, said to the spirit, 'I command you, in the name of Jesus Christ, to come forth from her;' and it came forth the same hour.

¹⁹ you -- you do believe that God is one; you do well, and the demons believe, and they shudder!

⁴ For if God messengers who sinned did not spare, but with chains of thick gloom, having cast them down to Tartarus, did deliver them to judgment, having been reserved,

⁸ he who is doing the sin, of the devil he is, because from the beginning the devil does sin; for this was the Son of God manifested, that he may break up the works of the devil;

¹ And I saw a messenger coming down out of the heaven, having the key of the abyss, and a great chain over his hand, ² and he laid hold on the dragon, the old serpent, who is Devil and Adversary, and did bind him a thousand years, ³ and he cast him to the abyss, and did shut him up, and put a seal upon him, that he may not lead astray the nations any more, till the thousand years may be finished; and after these it behooves him to be loosed a little time.

¹⁰ and the Devil, who is leading them astray, was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where are the beast and the false prophet, and they shall be tormented day and night -- to the ages of the ages.

⁸ (for he said to him, 'Come forth, spirit unclean, out of the man,')

²⁰ and they brought him unto him, and he having seen him, immediately the spirit tare him, and he, having fallen upon the earth, was wallowing -- foaming. ²¹ And he questioned his father, 'How long time is it since this came to him?' and he said, 'From childhood, ²² and many times also it cast him into fire, and into water, that it might destroy him; but if you are able to do anything, help us, having compassion on us.' ²³ And Jesus said to him, 'If you are able to believe! all things are possible to the one that is believing;' ²⁴ and immediately the father of the child, having cried out, with tears said, 'I believe, sir; be helping mine unbelief.' ²⁵ Jesus having seen that a multitude does run together, rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it, 'Spirit -- dumb and deaf -- I charge you, come forth out of him, and no more you may enter into him;' ²⁶ and having cried, and rent him much, it came forth, and he became as dead, so that many said that he was dead,

³⁹ and lo, a spirit does take him, and suddenly he does cry out, and it tears him, with foaming, and it hardly departs from him, bruising him,

⁴² and as he is yet coming near, the demon rent him, and tore him sore, and Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the youth, and gave him back to his father.

¹² so that even unto the ailing were brought from his body handkerchiefs or aprons, and the sicknesses departed from them; the evil spirits also went forth from them. ¹³ And certain of the wandering exorcist Jews, took upon them to name over those having the evil spirits the name of the Lord Jesus, saying, 'We adjure you by Jesus, whom Paul does preach;' ¹⁴ and there were certain -- seven sons of Sceva, a Jew, a chief priest -- who are doing this thing; ¹⁵ and the evil spirit, answering, said, 'Jesus I know, and Paul I am acquainted with; and you -- who are you?' ¹⁶ And the man, in whom was the evil spirit, leaping upon them, and having overcome them, prevailed against them, so that naked and wounded they did flee out of that house,

²⁵ in meekness instructing those opposing -- if perhaps God may give to them repentance to an acknowledging of the truth, ²⁶ and they may awake out of the devil's snare, having been caught by him at his will.

⁵³ do you think that I am not able now to call upon my Father, and He will place beside me more than twelve legions of messengers?

⁹ and he was questioning him, 'What is your name?' and he answered, saying, 'Legion is my name, because we are many;'

² and certain women, who were healed of evil spirits and infirmities, Mary who is called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone forth,

⁴¹ Then shall he say also to those on the left hand, Go you from me, the cursed, to the fire, the age-during, that has been prepared for the Devil and his messengers;

²⁸ and having seen Jesus, and having cried out, he fell before him, and with a loud voice, said, 'What -- to me and to you, Jesus, Son of God Most High? I beseech you, may you not afflict me!'

¹⁰ that in the name of Jesus every knee may bow -- of heavenlies, and earthlies, and what are under the earth -- ¹¹ and every tongue may confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

¹ And the fifth messenger did sound, and I saw a star out of the heaven having fallen to the earth, and there was given to it the key of the pit of the abyss, ² and he did open the pit of the abyss, and there came up a smoke out of the pit as smoke of a great furnace, and darkened was the sun and the air, from the smoke of the pit.

¹¹ and they have over them a king -- the messenger of the abyss -- a name is to him in Hebrew, Abaddon, and in the Greek he has a name, Apollyon.

⁷ 'And when they may finish their testimony, the beast that is coming up out of the abyss shall make war with them, and overcome them, and kill them,

⁸ 'The beast that you did see: it was, and it is not; and it is about to come up out of the abyss, and to go away to destruction, and wonder shall those dwelling upon the earth, whose names have not been written upon the scroll of the life from the foundation of the world, beholding the beast that was, and is not, although it is.

²⁰ and the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet who did the signs before him, in which he led astray those who did receive the mark of the beast, and those who did bow before his image; living they were cast -- the two -- to the lake of the fire, that is burning with brimstone;

¹⁴ and the death and the hades were cast to the lake of the fire -- this is the second death; ¹⁵ and if any one was not found written in the scroll of the life, he was cast to the lake of the fire.

³⁰ And there was far off from them a herd of many swine feeding, ³¹ and the demons were calling on him, saying, 'If you do cast us forth, permit us to go away to the herd of the swine;' ³² and he said to them, 'Go.' And having come forth, they went to the herd of the swine, and lo, the whole herd of the swine rushed down the steep, to the sea, and died in the waters, ³³ and those feeding did flee, and, having gone to the city, they declared all, and the matter of the demoniacs.

¹¹ And there was there, near the mountains, a great herd of swine feeding, ¹² and all the demons did call upon him, saying, 'Send us to the swine, that into them we may enter;' ¹³ and immediately Jesus gave them leave, and having come forth, the unclean spirits did enter into the swine, and the herd did rush down the steep place to the sea -- and they were about two thousand -- and they were choked in the sea.

¹¹ Jesus answered, 'You wouldst have no authority against me, if it were not having been given you from above; because of this, he who is delivering me up to you has greater sin.'

⁴ You -- of God you are, little children, and you have overcome them; because greater is He who is in you, than he who is in the world.

⁷ And when the thousand years may be finished, the Adversary shall be loosed out of his prison,

²² And it came to pass, on one of the days, that he himself went into a boat with his disciples, and he said unto them, 'We may go over to the other side of the lake;' and they set forth, ²³ and as they are sailing he fell deeply asleep, and there came down a storm of wind to the lake, and they were filling, and were in peril.

⁴⁴ 'You are of a father -- the devil, and the desires of your father you will to do; he was a man-slayer from the beginning, and in the truth he has not stood, because there is no truth in him; when one may speak the falsehood, of his own he speaks, because he is a liar -- also his father.

⁸ Be sober, vigilant, because your opponent the devil, as a roaring lion, does walk about, seeking whom he may swallow up,

³³ and those feeding did flee, and, having gone to the city, they declared all, and the matter of the demoniacs.

¹¹ And while they are going on, lo, certain of the watch having come to the city, told to the chief priests all the things that happened,

¹⁴ And those feeding the swine did flee, and told in the city, and in the fields, and they came forth to see what it is that has been done;

¹⁶ And the man, in whom was the evil spirit, leaping upon them, and having overcome them, prevailed against them, so that naked and wounded they did flee out of that house, ¹⁷ and this became known to all, both Jews and Greeks, who are dwelling at Ephesus, and fear fell upon them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was being magnified,

¹⁵ and they come unto Jesus, and see the demoniac, sitting, and clothed, and right-minded -- him having had the legion -- and they were afraid;

⁴⁶ And it came to pass, after three days, they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the teachers, both hearing them and questioning them,

²⁷ and he having gone forth upon the land, there met him a certain man, out of the city, who had demons for a long time, and with a garment was not clothed, and in a house was not abiding, but in the tombs,

³⁹ and she had also a sister, called Mary, who also, having seated herself beside the feet of Jesus, was hearing the word,

¹⁷ 'And having come to himself, he said, How many hirelings of my father have a superabundance of bread, and I here with hunger am perishing!

³ 'I, indeed, am a man, a Jew, having been born in Tarsus of Cilicia, and brought up in this city at the feet of Gamaliel, having been taught according to the exactitude of a law of the fathers, being zealous of God, as all you are to-day.

¹⁴ Seeing, then, the children have partaken of flesh and blood, he himself also in like manner did take part of the same, that through death he might destroy him having the power of death -- that is, the devil -- ¹⁵ and might deliver those, whoever, with fear of death, throughout all their life, were subjects of bondage,

²⁴ and his fame went forth to all Syria, and they brought to him all having ailments, pressed with manifold sicknesses and pains, and demoniacs, and lunatics, and paralytics, and he healed them.

³⁴ And lo, all the city came forth to meet Jesus, and having seen him, they called on him that he might depart from their borders.

¹⁷ and they began to call upon him to go away from their borders.

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;'

⁵ and as many as may not receive you, going forth from that city, even the dust from your feet shake off, for a testimony against them.'

⁵⁶ for the Son of Man did not come to destroy men's lives, but to save;' and they went on to another village.

¹⁰ 'And into whatever city you do enter, and they may not receive you, having gone forth to its broad places, say, ¹¹ And the dust that has cleaved to us, from your city, we do wipe off against you, but this know you, that the reign of God has come near to you;

¹⁶ 'He who is hearing you, does hear me; and he who is putting you away, does put me away; and he who is putting me away, does put away Him who sent me.'

³⁹ and having come, they besought them, and having brought them forth, they were asking them to go forth from the city;

³⁷ And the whole multitude of the region of the Gadarenes round about asked him to go away from them, because with great fear they were pressed, and he having entered into the boat, did turn back.

¹³ And Ananias answered, 'Lord, I have heard from many about this man, how many evils he did to Your saints in Jerusalem, ¹⁴ and here he has authority from the chief priests, to bind all those calling on Your name.' ¹⁵ And the Lord said unto him, 'Be going on, because a choice vessel to Me is this one, to bear My name before nations and kings -- the sons also of Israel; ¹⁶ for I will show him how many things it behooves him for My name to suffer.'

²³ and only they were hearing, that 'he who is persecuting us then, do now proclaim good news -- the faith that then he was wasting;' ²⁴ and they were glorifying God in me.

²³ for I am pressed by the two, having the desire to depart, and to be with Christ, for it is far better,

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:

⁴⁵ And he, having gone forth, began to proclaim much, and to spread abroad the thing, so that no more he was able openly to enter into the city, but he was without in desert places, and they were coming unto him from every quarter.

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;'

²⁹ 'Come, see a man, who told me all things -- as many as I did; is this the Christ?'

⁸ and if any one for his own -- and especially for those of the household -- does not provide, the faith he has denied, and than an unbeliever he is worse.

¹ And having gone to the boat, he passed over, and came to his own city,

³⁷ therefore David himself said of him Lord, and whence is he his son?' And the great multitude were hearing him gladly,

⁶ and he having hastened did come down, and did receive him rejoicing;

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, ³⁸ saying, 'blessed is he who is coming, a king in the name of the Lord; peace in heaven, and glory in the highest.'

⁴⁸ and they were not finding what they shall do, for all the people were hanging on him, hearing him.

⁷ and Jesus said to him, 'I, having come, will heal him.' ⁸ And the centurion answering said, 'Sir, I am not worthy that you may enter under my roof, but only say a word, and my servant shall be healed;

¹⁸ While he is speaking these things to them, lo, a ruler having come, was bowing to him, saying that 'My daughter just now died, but, having come, lay your hand upon her, and she shall live.' ¹⁹ And Jesus having risen, did follow him, also his disciples, ²⁰ and lo, a woman having an issue of blood twelve years, having come to him behind, did touch the fringe of his garments, ²¹ for she said within herself, 'If only I may touch his garment, I shall be saved.' 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. ²³ And Jesus having come to the house of the ruler, and having seen the minstrels and the multitude making tumult, ²⁴ he said to them, 'Withdraw, for the damsel did not die, but does sleep,' and they were deriding him; ²⁵ but, when the multitude was put forth, having gone in, he took hold of her hand, and the damsel arose, ²⁶ and the fame of this went forth to all the land.

²² and lo, there does come one of the chiefs of the synagogue, by name Jairus, and having seen him, he does fall at his feet, ²³ and he was calling upon him much, saying -- 'My little daughter is at the last extremity -- that having come, you may lay on her your hands, so that she may be saved, and she shall live;' ²⁴ and he went away with him. And there was following him a great multitude, and they were thronging him, ²⁵ and a certain woman, having an issue of blood twelve years, ²⁶ and many things having suffered under many physicians, and having spent all that she had, and having profited nothing, but rather having come to the worse, ²⁷ having heard about Jesus, having come in the multitude behind, she touched his garment, ²⁸ for she said -- 'If even his garments I may touch, I shall be saved;' ²⁹ and immediately was the fountain of her blood dried up, and she knew in the body that she has been healed of the plague. ³⁰ And immediately Jesus having known in himself that out of him power had gone forth, having turned about in the multitude, said, 'Who did touch my garments?' ³¹ and his disciples said to him, 'You see the multitude thronging you, and you say, 'Who did touch me!' ³² And he was looking round to see her who did this, ³³ and the woman, having been afraid, and trembling, knowing what was done on her, came, and fell down before him, and told him all the truth, ³⁴ and he said to her, 'Daughter, your faith has saved you; go away in peace, and be whole from your plague.' ³⁵ As he is yet speaking, there come from the chief of the synagogue's house, certain, saying -- 'Your daughter did die, why still do you harass the Teacher?' ³⁶ And Jesus immediately, having heard the word that is spoken, said to the chief of the synagogue, 'Be not afraid, only believe.' ³⁷ And he did not suffer any one to follow with him, except Peter, and James, and John the brother of James; ³⁸ and he comes to the house of the chief of the synagogue, and sees a tumult, much weeping and wailing; ³⁹ and having gone in he said to them, 'Why do you make a tumult, and weep? the child did not die, but does sleep; ⁴⁰ and they were laughing at him. And he, having put all forth, does take the father of the child, and the mother, and those with him, and goes in where the child is lying, ⁴¹ and, having taken the hand of the child, he said to her, 'Talitha cumi;' which is, being interpreted, 'Damsel (I say to you), arise.' ⁴² And immediately the damsel arose, and was walking, for she was twelve years old; and they were amazed with a great amazement, ⁴³ and he charged them much, that no one may know this thing, and he said that there be given to her to eat.

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;'

¹⁴ And the chief of the synagogue answering -- much displeased that on the sabbath Jesus healed -- said to the multitude, 'Six days there are in which it is necessary for us to be working; in these, then, coming, be healed, and not on the sabbath-day.'

¹⁶ and he fell upon his face at his feet, giving thanks to him, and he was a Samaritan.

⁴⁶ Jesus came, therefore, again to Cana of Galilee, where he made the water wine, and there was a certain courtier, whose son was ailing in Capernaum, ⁴⁷ he, having heard that Jesus is come out of Judea to Galilee, went away unto him, and was asking him that he may come down and may heal his son, for he was about to die. ⁴⁸ Jesus then said unto him, 'If signs and wonders you may not see, you will not believe.' ⁴⁹ The courtier said unto him, 'Sir, come down before my child die;'

²¹ Martha, therefore, said unto Jesus, 'Sir, if you hadst been here, my brother had not died;

³⁸ and Lydda being near to Joppa, the disciples having heard that Peter is in that place, sent two men unto him, calling on him not to delay to come through unto them.

¹⁵ and after the reading of the law and of the prophets, the chief men of the synagogue sent unto them, saying, 'Men, brethren, if there be a word in you of exhortation unto the people -- say on.'

⁸ and Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue did believe in the Lord with all his house, and many of the Corinthians hearing were believing, and they were being baptized.

¹⁷ and all the Greeks having taken Sosthenes, the chief man of the synagogue, were beating him before the tribunal, and not even for these things was Gallio caring.

⁸ And when he took the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell before the Lamb, having each one harps and golden vials full of perfumes, which are the prayers of the saints,

²⁴ and he went away with him. And there was following him a great multitude, and they were thronging him,

¹² and as he came near to the gate of the city, then, lo, one dead was being carried forth, an only son of his mother, and she a widow, and a great multitude of the city was with her.

⁴⁵ And Jesus said, 'Who is it that touched me?' and all denying, Peter and those with him said, 'Master, the multitudes press you, and throng you, and you do say, Who is it that touched me!'

¹² because of this, even as through one man the sin did enter into the world, and through the sin the death; and thus to all men the death did pass through, for that all did sin;

²⁰ and lo, a woman having an issue of blood twelve years, having come to him behind, did touch the fringe of his garments, ²¹ for she said within herself, 'If only I may touch his garment, I shall be saved.' 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.

²⁵ and a certain woman, having an issue of blood twelve years, ²⁶ and many things having suffered under many physicians, and having spent all that she had, and having profited nothing, but rather having come to the worse,

¹⁸ and wherever it does seize him, it does tear him, and he foams, and gnashes his teeth, and pines away; and I spake to your disciples that they may cast it out, and they were not able.'

²¹ And he questioned his father, 'How long time is it since this came to him?' and he said, 'From childhood, ²² and many times also it cast him into fire, and into water, that it might destroy him; but if you are able to do anything, help us, having compassion on us.'

¹¹ and lo, there was a woman having a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and she was bowed together, and not able to bend back at all,

¹⁶ and this one, being a daughter of Abraham, whom the Adversary bound, lo, eighteen years, did it not behoove to be loosed from this bond on the sabbath-day?'

⁵ and there was a certain man there being in ailment thirty and eight years, ⁶ him Jesus having seen lying, and having known that he is already a long time, he said to him, 'Do you wish to become whole?'

¹ And passing by, he saw a man blind from birth,

²¹ and how he now sees, we have not known; or who opened his eyes, we have not known; himself is of age, ask him; he himself shall speak concerning himself.'

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,

²² for above forty years of age was the man upon whom had been done this sign of the healing.

⁸ And a certain man in Lystra, impotent in the feet, was sitting, being lame from the womb of his mother -- who never had walked, ⁹ this one was hearing Paul speaking, who, having stedfastly beheld him, and having seen that he has faith to be saved, ¹⁰ said with a loud voice, 'Stand up on your feet upright;' and he was springing and walking,

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

³⁴ and having been moved with compassion, Jesus touched their eyes, and immediately their eyes received sight, and they followed him.

²⁷ having heard about Jesus, having come in the multitude behind, she touched his garment, ²⁸ for she said -- 'If even his garments I may touch, I shall be saved;'

⁵⁶ and wherever he was going, to villages, or cities, or fields, in the market-places they were laying the infirm, and were calling upon him, that they may touch if it were but the fringe of his garment, and as many as were touching him were saved.

³⁸ and having stood behind, beside his feet, weeping, she began to wet his feet with the tears, and with the hairs of her head she was wiping, and was kissing his feet, and was anointing with the ointment.

¹³ and he laid on her his hands, and presently she was set upright, and was glorifying God.

¹³ But he that was healed had not known who he is, for Jesus did move away, a multitude being in the place.

¹⁵ so as into the broad places to bring forth the ailing, and to lay them upon couches and mats, that at the coming of Peter, even his shadow might overshadow some one of them;

¹² so that even unto the ailing were brought from his body handkerchiefs or aprons, and the sicknesses departed from them; the evil spirits also went forth from them.

³⁰ And immediately Jesus having known in himself that out of him power had gone forth, having turned about in the multitude, said, 'Who did touch my garments?' ³¹ and his disciples said to him, 'You see the multitude thronging you, and you say, 'Who did touch me!' ³² And he was looking round to see her who did this,

¹³ And he said unto them, 'Give you them to eat;' and they said, 'We have no more than five loaves, and two fishes: except, having gone, we may buy for all this people victuals;'

¹⁷ And it came to pass, on one of the days, that he was teaching, and there were sitting by Pharisees and teachers of the Law, who were come out of every village of Galilee, and Judea, and Jerusalem, and the power of the Lord was -- to heal them.

¹⁹ and all the multitude were seeking to touch him, because power from him was going forth, and he was healing all.

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;

⁸ And having gone forth quickly from the tomb, with fear and great joy, they ran to tell to his disciples;

³³ and the woman, having been afraid, and trembling, knowing what was done on her, came, and fell down before him, and told him all the truth,

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.

²⁹ And, having asked for a light, he sprang in, and trembling he fell down before Paul and Silas,

³ and I, in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling, was with you;

¹⁵ and his tender affection is more abundantly toward you, remembering the obedience of you all, how with fear and trembling you did receive him;

¹² So that, my beloved, as you always obey, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, with fear and trembling your own salvation work out,

²⁸ therefore, a kingdom that cannot be shaken receiving, may we have grace, through which we may serve God well-pleasingly, with reverence and religious fear;

¹³ And Jesus said to the centurion, 'Go, and as you did believe let it be to you;' and his young man was healed in that hour.

² and lo, they were bringing to him a paralytic, laid upon a couch, and Jesus having seen their faith, said to the paralytic, 'Be of good courage, child, your sins have been forgiven you.'

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.

²⁰ a bruised reed he shall not break, and smoking flax he shall not quench, till he may put forth judgment to victory,

³⁴ and he said to her, 'Daughter, your faith has saved you; go away in peace, and be whole from your plague.'

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

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

⁴² And Jesus said to him, 'Receive your sight; your faith has saved you;'

⁹ this one was hearing Paul speaking, who, having stedfastly beheld him, and having seen that he has faith to be saved,

² for we also are having good news proclaimed, even as they, but the word heard did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in those who heard,

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;

⁴¹ and lo, there came a man, whose name is Jairus, and he was a chief of the synagogue, and having fallen at the feet of Jesus, was calling on him to come to his house; ⁴² because he had an only daughter about twelve years old, and she was dying. And in his going away, the multitudes were thronging him, ⁴³ and a woman, having an issue of blood for twelve years, who, having spent on physicians all her living, was not able to be healed by any,

⁷ and he from within answering may say, Do not give me trouble, already the door has been shut, and my children with me are in the bed, I am not able, having risen, to give to you.

³⁶ And Jesus immediately, having heard the word that is spoken, said to the chief of the synagogue, 'Be not afraid, only believe.'

²³ And Jesus said to him, 'If you are able to believe! all things are possible to the one that is believing;'

²² And Jesus answering said to them, 'Have faith of God; ²³ for verily I say to you, that whoever may say to this mount, Be taken up, and be cast into the sea, and may not doubt in his heart, but may believe that the things that he says do come to pass, it shall be to him whatever he may say. ²⁴ Because of this I say to you, all whatever -- praying -- you do ask, believe that you receive, and it shall be to you.

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

²⁵ Jesus said to her, 'I am the rising again, and the life; he who is believing in me, even if he may die, shall live;

¹⁷ who is father of us all (according as it has been written -- 'A father of many nations I have set you,') before Him whom he did believe -- God, who is quickening the dead, and is calling the things that be not as being.

²⁰ and at the promise of God did not stagger in unbelief, but was strengthened in faith, having given glory to God,

⁵ 'And when you may pray, you shall not be as the hypocrites, because they love in the synagogues, and in the corners of the broad places -- standing -- to pray, that they may be seen of men; verily I say to you, that they have their reward. ⁶ 'But you, when you may pray, go into your chamber, and having shut your door, pray to your Father who is in secret, and your Father who is seeing in secret, shall reward you openly.

³⁷ And he did not suffer any one to follow with him, except Peter, and James, and John the brother of James; ³⁸ and he comes to the house of the chief of the synagogue, and sees a tumult, much weeping and wailing; ³⁹ and having gone in he said to them, 'Why do you make a tumult, and weep? the child did not die, but does sleep; ⁴⁰ and they were laughing at him. And he, having put all forth, does take the father of the child, and the mother, and those with him, and goes in where the child is lying,

³³ and he takes Peter, and James, and John with him, and began to be amazed, and to be very heavy,

¹⁴ (Simon, whom also he named Peter, and Andrew his brother, James and John, Philip and Bartholomew,

²⁸ And it came to pass, after these words, as it were eight days, that having taken Peter, and John, and James, he went up to the mountain to pray,

⁴⁰ And Peter having put them all forth without, having bowed the knees, did pray, and having turned unto the body said, 'Tabitha, arise;' and she opened her eyes, and having seen Peter, she sat up,

¹⁷ and saying, We piped unto you, and you did not dance, we lamented to you, and you did not smite the breast.

³⁸ and he comes to the house of the chief of the synagogue, and sees a tumult, much weeping and wailing; ³⁹ and having gone in he said to them, 'Why do you make a tumult, and weep? the child did not die, but does sleep;

⁴ and Jesus having heard, said, 'This ailment is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God may be glorified through it.'

¹¹ These things he said, and after this he said to them, 'Lazarus our friend has fallen asleep, but I go on that I may awake him;' ¹² therefore said his disciples, 'Sir, if he has fallen asleep, he will be saved;' ¹³ but Jesus had spoken about his death, but they thought that about the repose of sleep he speaks.

⁴⁴ And Pilate wondered if he were already dead, and having called near the centurion, did question him if he were long dead, ⁴⁵ and having known it from the centurion, he granted the body to Joseph.

¹⁴ And also the Pharisees, being lovers of money, were hearing all these things, and were deriding him,

³⁹ Jesus said, 'Take you away the stone;' the sister of him who has died -- Martha -- said to him, 'Sir, already he stinks, for he is four days dead;'

³³ and having come to Jesus, when they saw him already having been dead, they did not break his legs; ³⁴ but one of the soldiers with a spear did pierce his side, and immediately there came forth blood and water; ³⁵ and he who has seen has testified, and his testimony is true, and that one has known that true things he speaks, that you also may believe.

²⁵ but, when the multitude was put forth, having gone in, he took hold of her hand, and the damsel arose,

³¹ and having come near, he raised her up, having laid hold of her hand, and the fever left her immediately, and she was ministering to them.

⁴⁰ and they were laughing at him. And he, having put all forth, does take the father of the child, and the mother, and those with him, and goes in where the child is lying, ⁴¹ and, having taken the hand of the child, he said to her, 'Talitha cumi;' which is, being interpreted, 'Damsel (I say to you), arise.'

²³ and having taken the hand of the blind man, he led him forth without the village, and having spit on his eyes, having put his hands on him, he was questioning him if he does behold anything:

²⁷ but Jesus, having taken him by the hand, lifted him up, and he arose.

¹⁴ and having come near, he touched the bier, and those bearing it stood still, and he said, 'Young man, to you I say, Arise;' ¹⁵ and the dead sat up, and began to speak, and he gave him to his mother;

⁵¹ And having come to the house, he suffered no one to go in, except Peter, and James, and John, and the father of the child, and the mother;

²¹ 'For, as the Father does raise the dead, and does make alive, so also the Son does make alive whom he wills;

²⁸ 'Wonder not at this, because there does come an hour in which all those in the tombs shall hear his voice, ²⁹ and they shall come forth; those who did the good things to a rising again of life, and those who practised the evil things to a rising again of judgment.

⁴³ And these things saying, with a loud voice he cried out, 'Lazarus, come forth;'

⁴³ and he charged them much, that no one may know this thing, and he said that there be given to her to eat.

⁴¹ and while they are not believing from the joy, and wondering, he said to them, 'Have you anything here to eat?' ⁴² and they gave to him part of a broiled fish, and of an honeycomb, ⁴³ and having taken, he did eat before them,

⁴⁴ and he who died came forth, being bound feet and hands with grave-clothes, and his visage with a napkin was bound about; Jesus said to them, 'Loose him, and suffer to go.'

⁴ And Jesus said to him, 'See, you may tell no one, but go, yourself show to the priest, and bring the gift that Moses commanded for a testimony to them.'

³⁰ and their eyes were opened, and Jesus strictly charged them, saying, 'See, let no one know;'

¹⁴ And he charged him to tell no one, 'But, having gone away, show yourself to the priest, and bring near for your cleansing according as Moses directed, for a testimony to them;'
