⁷ Who made known his ways unto Moses, unto the sons of Israel, his doings.

²⁶ He sent Moses his servant, Aaron, whom he had chosen.

⁸ Yahweh, who opened [the eyes of] the blind, Yahweh, who raiseth the prostrate, Yahweh, who loveth the righteous;

²⁸ Then, will they call me, but I will not answer, they will seek me diligently, but shall not find me. ²⁹ Because they hated knowledge, and, the reverence of Yahweh, did not choose;

⁷ He that rebuketh a scoffer, getteth to himself contempt, and, he that reproveth a lawless man, [getteth to himself] his shame. ⁸ Do not reprove a scoffer, lest he hate thee, Reprove a wise man, and he will love thee.

²⁹ Far off is Yahweh, from the lawless, but, the prayer of the righteous, will he hear.

¹⁰ Drive away the scoffer, that strife may depart, and quarrel, and contempt may cease.

¹² Thou hast seen a man wise in his own eye,––more hope of a dullard, than of him!

⁹ He that turneth away his ear from hearing instruction, even his prayer, is an abomination.

¹ He that being often reproved stiffeneth his neck, suddenly shall be hurt, and there be no healing.

²⁵ The fear of man, setteth a snare, but, he that trusteth in Yahweh, shall be placed on high.

³ Neither have I learned wisdom, nor, the knowledge of the Holy Ones, can I acquire. ⁴ Who hath ascended the heavens and then descended? Who hath gathered the wind into his two hands? Who hath wrapped up the waters in a mantle? Who hath set up all the ends of the earth? What is his name and what the name of his son, when thou knowest?

¹ For, unto all this, I applied my heart, and, my heart, considered all this, that, the righteous and the wise and their servants, were in the hand of God,––neither love nor hatred, could any man know, every one, was before Him. ² Every one, was like every one else, one destiny, had the righteous and the lawless, the good and the pure and the impure, and he that sacrificed, and he that did not sacrifice,––as the good man, so, the sinner, he that took an oath, as he who, of an oath, stood in fear.

¹⁰ Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, with thy might, do,––for there is no work nor calculation nor knowledge nor wisdom, in hades, whither, thou, art going.

⁵ Just as thou knowest not what is the way of the spirit, when the body is in the womb of her that is with child, even, so, canst thou not know the work of God, who maketh all.

⁹ [DAUGHTERS OF JERUSALEM] What is thy beloved more than any other beloved, thou most beautiful among women? What is thy beloved more than any other beloved, that, thus, thou hast adjured us?

¹⁵ Even when ye spread forth your open palms, I hide mine eyes from you; Yea, though ye multiply, prayers, I am not hearkening,––Your hands, with deeds of blood, are filled.

²¹ Alas! for them, Who are wise in their own eyes,––And, in their own sight, are prudent.

⁹ Then said he––Go and say unto this people,––Hear on, but do not discern, See on, but do not perceive:

⁶ Because this people hath refused the waters of Shiloah which flow softly,––and are rejoicing with Rezin and the son of Remaliah,

¹¹ O Yahweh, though thy hand be lifted up,––yet do they not see, Would they might see––and turn pale at a people’s zeal,––Surely, the fire of thine enemies, must consume them!

¹⁰ For Yahweh, hath poured out upon you, a spirit of deep sleep, Yea hath tightly shut your eyes––the prophets,––And, your heads––the seers, hath he covered,

¹⁴ Therefore, behold me! Again, dealing wonderfully with this people, doing wonderfully a wonderful thing,––So, shall perish, the wisdom of their wise men, And, the intelligence of their intelligent men, shall vanish!

¹⁸ Therefore, in that day, shall the deaf hear, the words of a book,––And, out of gloom and darkness, the eyes of the blind, shall see;

¹⁸ Therefore, in that day, shall the deaf hear, the words of a book,––And, out of gloom and darkness, the eyes of the blind, shall see; ¹⁹ And again, shall the humbled, in Yahweh, have joy,––And, the needy of mankind, in the Holy One of Israel, exult;

³ And the eyes of them who are ready to see, shall not be closed,––And, the ears of them who are ready to hear, shall hearken;

⁵ Then, shall be opened, the eyes of the blind,––And, the ears of the deaf, be unstopped:

¹⁸ For, hades, cannot praise thee, Nor, death, celebrate thee,––They who go down to the pit cannot wait for thy faithfulness. ¹⁹ The living, the living, he, can praise thee, As I, do this day,––A father, to his children, can make known thy faithfulness.

⁶ I––Yahweh, have called thee in righteousness, And will firmly grasp thy hand,––And will keep thee, And give thee––As the covenant of a people, As the light of nations: ⁷ To open eyes that are blind,––To bring forth, Out of the dungeon, the captive, Out of the prison, the dwellers in darkness.

⁷ To open eyes that are blind,––To bring forth, Out of the dungeon, the captive, Out of the prison, the dwellers in darkness.

¹⁶ Thus will I lead the blind, by a way they know not, In paths they know not, will I guide them,––I will make, the place that was dark before them, to be, light, And, crooked, ways, to be, straight, These things, have I done unto them, And have not forsaken them. ¹⁷ They have drawn back, They turn very pale, Who have been trusting in a graven image,––Who have been saying to a molten image, Ye, are, our gods!
¹⁸ Ye deaf, hear! And ye blind, look around that ye may see!

¹⁸ Ye deaf, hear! And ye blind, look around that ye may see! ¹⁹ Who, is blind, if not my Servant? Or deaf, like, my messenger whom I send? Who, is, blind, like an intimate friend? Or blind, like the Servant of Yahweh? ²⁰ Seeing many things, yet thou heedest not, Opening the ears, yet he heareth not.

⁸ Bring forth, A blind people, that have, eyes, and, A deaf, that have, ears.

¹⁸ They have not taken note, neither can they perceive,––He hath besmeared––past seeing––their eyes, Past understanding, their hearts;

⁶ Yea he said––It is too small a thing, for being my, Servant, That thou shouldest raise up the tribes of Jacob, And, the preserved of Israel, shouldst restore,––So I will give thee to become a light of nations, That, my salvation, may reach as far as, the end of the earth.

⁷ Hearken unto me, ye who discern righteousness, The people in whose heart is my law,––Do not fear the reproach of frail men, Nor, at their revilings, be dismayed;

¹² I––I, am he that comforteth you,––Who, art, thou, that thou hast feared, Frail man that dieth, and, A son of the earthborn, who, as grass, shall be delivered up?

¹ Who, believed what we have heard? And, the arm of Yahweh, to whom was it revealed? ² When he came up as a sapling before him, And as a root–sprout out of dry ground, He had neither beauty nor majesty,––When we beheld him, there was nothing to behold, that we should desire him; ³ Despised was he, and forsaken of men, Man of pains, and familiar with sickness,––Yea, like one from whom the face is hidden, Despised, and we esteemed him not.

¹¹ Whom, then hadst thou been anxious about and feared, that thou shouldest speak falsely, When, me, thou rememberedst not, caredst not for me? Did not, I, keep silence, even from age–past times, Although, me, thou wouldest not fear?

⁹ Then, shalt thou, Call, and, Yahweh, will answer, Cry out, and he will say, Behold me! If thou remove, out of thy midst, The yoke, The pointing of the finger, and, The speaking of iniquity;

¹ Arise––shine, For thy light, hath come,––And, the glory of Yahweh, on thee, hath beamed; ² For lo! darkness, covereth the earth, And, deep gloom, the peoples,––But, on thee, beameth Yahweh, And, his glory, on thee, is seen. ³ So shall nations come, to thy light, And kings, to the brightness of thy dawning.

⁴ Although from age–past times, It was never heard, It was not perceived by, the ear,––Neither did, the eye, ever see––That, a god besides thee, could work for the man who waited for him,

⁵ Who say––Draw near by thyself, Do not approach with me, For I am holier than thou! These, are, A smoke in my nostrils, A fire, burning all the day.

⁵ Hear the word of Yahweh, ye who care anxiously for his word: Said your brethren, Who hated you, Who thrust you out for my Name’s sake, Yahweh be glorified! Therefore shall he appear to your rejoicing, But, they, shall turn pale.

⁹ Then Yahweh put forth his hand, and touched my mouth,––and Yahweh said unto me, Lo! I have put my words, in thy mouth. ¹⁰ See! I have set thee in charge, this day, over the nations, and over the kingdoms, To uproot and to break down, and to destroy and to tear in pieces,––To build and to plant.

³⁵ Although thou saidst, Because I am innocent, surely hath his anger, turned back from me,––Behold me! entering into judgment with thee, because thou sayest, I have not sinned!

¹¹ Therefore, Thus, saith Yahweh, Behold me! bringing upon them calamity, which they shall not be able to escape,––and, though they make outcry unto me, yet will I not hearken unto them.

¹² Though they fast, I am not going to hearken unto their loud cry, and, Though they offer ascending–sacrifice and meal–offering, I am not going to accept them,––For, with sword, and with famine, and with pestilence, am, I, about to consume them.

¹ Then said Yahweh unto me, Though Moses and Samuel should stand, before me, My soul could not, be toward this people,––Send them away from before me, And let them go forth.

¹⁷ Then, unto Baruch, put they questions, saying,––Tell us, we pray thee, How, didst thou write all these words at his mouth?

¹⁸ Therefore, even I, will act with indignation, Mine eye, shall not shield, Neither will I pity,––Though they have cried in mine ears, with a loud voice, yet will I not hear them.

⁴ Then, shall they make outcry unto Yahweh, but he will not answer them,––that he may hide his face from them, at that time, even as they have made wicked their doings.

¹³ Therefore came it to pass that––just as he cried out and they hearkened not, so, used they to cry out, and I used not to hearken, saith Yahweh of hosts;

² So shall the sun of righteousness, arise to you who revere my Name, with healing in his wings,––and ye shall come forth and leap for joy like calves let loose from the stall;

⁴ Remember ye the law of Moses my servant,––which I commanded him in Horeb, for all Israel, statutes and regulations.

¹⁶ The people that was sitting in darkness, a great light, beheld,––and, on them who were sitting in land and shade of death, Light rose on them.

¹¹ Happy, are ye, whensoever they may reproach you and persecute you, and say every evil thing against you, falsely, for my sake:

²³ But, if thine eye be, evil, thy whole body, shall be, in the dark; ––if therefore, the light which is in thee, is, darkness, the darkness, how great!

³ said unto him, Art, thou, the coming one? or, a different one, are we to expect?

⁵ The, blind, recover sight, and, the lame, walk, lepers, are cleansed, and, the deaf, hear,––and, the dead, are raised, and, the destitute, are told the joyful tidings;

²⁵ In that season, answered Jesus, and said––I openly give praise unto thee, Father, Lord of heaven and earth,––in that thou hast hid these things from the wise and discerning, and hast revealed them unto babes;

¹ In that season, went Jesus, on, the sabbath, through the cornfields,––and, his disciples, hungered, and began to pluck ears of corn, and to eat. ² But, the Pharisees, observing it, said unto him, Lo! thy disciples, are doing what is not allowed to do, on sabbath.

² But, the Pharisees, observing it, said unto him, Lo! thy disciples, are doing what is not allowed to do, on sabbath. ³ And he said unto them, have ye never read what, David, did, when he hungered, and they who were with him? how ⁴ he entered into the house of God and, the presence–bread, did eat, which it was not, allowable, for him to eat, nor for them who were with him,––save for the priests, alone? ⁵ Or have ye not read, in the law, that, on the sabbaths, the priests, in the temple, the sabbath, profane, and are, blameless? ⁶ But I say unto you,––Something greater than the Temple, is here! ⁷ If, however, ye had known what this meaneth––Mercy, I desire, and not, sacrifice, ye would not have condemned the blameless; ⁸ For, the Son of Man, is, Lord of the Sabbath. ⁹ And, passing on from thence, he came into their synagogue; ¹⁰ and lo! a man having, a withered hand, and they questioned him, saying, Is it allowable, on the sabbath, to heal? that they might accuse him. ¹¹ And said unto them, What man, from among yourselves, [shall there be], ––Who shall have one sheep, and, if this should fall, on the sabbath, into a pit, will not lay hold of it, and raise it? ¹² How much better, then, a man, than, a sheep? So that it is allowable, on the sabbath, nobly, to act. ¹³ Then saith he unto the man, Stretch forth thy hand! And he stretched it forth,––and it was restored, whole, as the other.
¹⁴ And the Pharisees, going forth, took, counsel, against him, to the end that, him, they might destroy.

²⁴ But, the Pharisees, hearing it, said, This one, doth not cast out the demons, save in Beelzebul ruler of the demons.

¹¹ And, he, answering, said, Because, unto you, hath it been given, to get to know the sacred secrets of the kingdom of the heavens,––whereas, unto them, hath it not been given. ¹² For, whosoever hath, it shall be given, to him, and he shall be made to abound,––but, whoever hath not, even what he hath, shall be taken from him? ¹³ For this reason, in parables, unto them, do I speak,––because, seeing, they see not, and, hearing, they hear not,––neither do they understand. ¹⁴ And, again is being fulfilled in them, the prophecy of Isaiah, which saith,––They shall, surely hear, and yet will not understand, and, surely see, and yet not perceive; ¹⁵ For the heart of this people hath become dense, and, with their ears, heavily have they heard, and, their eyes, have they closed,––lest, once they should see with their eyes, and, with their ears, should hear, and, with their hearts, should understand, and return; when I would certainly heal them.

³³ And, they in the boat, bowed down to him, saying––Truly, God’s Son, thou art!

¹² Then, coming near, his disciples say unto him––Knowest thou, that the Pharisees, hearing the word, were caused to stumble? ¹³ And, he, answering, said––Every plant which my heavenly Father hath not planted, will be uprooted: ¹⁴ Let them alone! they are, blind leaders; and, if the, blind, lead the, blind, both, into a ditch, will fall.

¹⁴ And, they, said––Some, indeed, John the Immerser, and, others, Elijah,––but, others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets.

¹⁶ And, Simon Peter, answering, said––Thou, art the Christ, the Son of the Living God.

¹⁷ But, if he hear them amiss, tell it to the assembly,––And, if, even the assembly, he hear amiss, Let him be unto thee, just as the man of the nations and the tax–collector. ¹⁸ Verily, I say unto you––Whatsoever things ye shall bind on the earth, shall be bound in heaven; and, whatsoever things ye shall loose on the earth, shall be loosed in heaven.

¹¹ And, the multitudes, were saying––This, is the prophet Jesus,––He from Nazareth of Galilee.

⁷ And the salutations in the market–places, and to be called by men, Rabbi.

¹⁶ Alas for you, blind guides! that say––Whosoever shall swear by the Temple, it is, nothing, but, whosoever shall swear by the gold of the Temple, is bound: ¹⁷ Foolish and blind! for which is, greater, The gold, or the Temple that hath hallowed the gold? ¹⁸ And, whosoever shall swear by the altar, it is, nothing, but, whosoever shall swear by the gift that is upon it, is bound: ¹⁹ Blind! for which is greater, The gift, or the altar that halloweth the gift? ²⁰ He therefore that hath sworn by the altar, sweareth by it, and by all that is upon it; ²¹ And, he that hath sworn by the Temple, sweareth by it, and by him who dwelleth therein; ²² And, he that hath sworn by heaven, sweareth by the throne of God, and by him who sitteth thereupon. ²³ Alas for you, Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites; because ye tithe the mint and the anise and the cummin,––and have dismissed the weightier matters of the law––the justice, the mercy, and the faith; whereas, these, it was binding, to do, and, those, not to, dismiss. ²⁴ Blind guides! Straining out the gnat, but, the camel, swallowing. ²⁵ Alas for you, Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites; because ye cleanse the outside of the cup and of the dish,––while, within, they are full of plunder and intemperance. ²⁶ Blind Pharisee! cleanse, first, the inside, of the cup [and of the dish], that, the outside thereof, may become, clean. ²⁷ Alas for you, Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites; because ye make yourselves like sepulchres whitewashed, which, outside, indeed, appear, beautiful, but, within, are full, of dead men’s bones and all uncleanness,–– ²⁸ Thus, ye also, outside, indeed, appear to men, righteous, but, within, are full, of hypocrisy and lawlessness.

⁶¹ and said: This, man said––I am able to pull down the shrine of God, and, in three days, to, build, it.

³⁹ And, they who were passing by, were reviling him, shaking their heads,

⁹ And lo! Jesus, met them, saying––Joy to you! And, they, going forward, held his feet, and worshipped him.

¹⁷ and, seeing him, they worshipped, but, some, doubted.

¹ Beginning of the glad–message of Jesus Christ.

²³ And it came to pass, that he, on the Sabbath, was passing through the cornfields, and his disciples began to be going forward, plucking the ears of corn.

²⁷ and be sleeping and rising, night and day,––and the seed be sprouting, and lengthening itself,––how, he, knoweth not:

⁶ And he marveled because of their unbelief. And he was going round the villages in a circuit, teaching.

³³ And, taking him away from the multitude apart, he thrust his fingers into his ears, and, spitting, touched his tongue;

²³ And, laying hold of the hand of the blind man, he brought him forth outside the village, and, spitting into his eyes, laying his hands upon him, he was asking him––Anything, seest thou?

⁴⁶ And they come into Jericho. And, as he was journeying forth from Jericho, and his disciples, and a considerable multitude, the son of Timaeus, blind Bar–Timaeus, a beggar, was sitting beside the road.

²⁷ And, with him, they crucify, two robbers, one on his right hand, and one on his left.

⁷⁰ According as he hath spoken by mouth of his holy ancient prophets,––

⁷⁹ To shine on them who, in the darkness and shade of death, are sitting, to guide our feet into a way of peace.

³² A light for the unveiling of nations, and the glory of thy people Israel.

³⁴ And Symeon blessed them, and said unto Mary his mother––Lo! this one, is being set for the falling and rising of many in Israel, and for a sign to be spoken against;

¹⁸ The Spirit of the Lord, is upon me, because he hath anointed me––to tell glad tidings unto the destitute; He hath sent me forth,––To proclaim, to captives, a release, and, to the blind, a recovering of sight,––to send away the crushed, with a release;

¹ And it came to pass, on a Sabbath, that he was passing along through cornfields, and his disciples were plucking and eating the ears of corn, rubbing them with their hands. ² But, certain of the Pharisees, said––Why are ye doing what is not allowed on the Sabbath? ³ And, making answer unto them, Jesus said––Have ye never read, even this, what David did when he hungered, he, and they who were with him–– ⁴ How he entered into the house of God, and, the presence–bread, receiving, did eat, and gave to them who were with him, which it is not allowable to eat, save alone, to the priests? ⁵ And he was saying to them––The Son of Man is, Lord of the Sabbath. ⁶ And it came to pass, on another Sabbath, that he entered into the synagogue, and was teaching, and there was a man there, and, his right hand, was withered. ⁷ Now the Scribes and the Pharisees were narrowly watching him, whether, on the Sabbath, he healeth,––that they might find whereof to accuse him. ⁸ But, he, knew their reasonings, and said to the man who had the, withered, hand––Arise, and stand forward in the midst! And, arising, he stood forward. ⁹ And Jesus said unto them––I ask you, whether it is allowed, on the Sabbath, to do good or to do harm,––life, to save, or, to destroy. ¹⁰ And, looking round upon them all, he said unto him––Stretch forth thy hand! and, he, did so, and his hand was restored. ¹¹ But, they, were filled with folly, and began conversing one with another, as to, what they might do with Jesus.

²² Happy, are ye, whensoever men shall hate you, and whensoever they shall separate you, and reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the sake of the Son of Man:

²¹ In that very hour, he cured many from diseases, and plagues, and wicked spirits; and, unto many blind, gave he the favour to see. ²² And, answering, he said unto them––Go and bear tidings unto John, as to what ye have seen and heard: The blind, are receiving sight, the lame, walk, lepers, are cleansed, and, the deaf, hear, the dead, are raised, the destitute, are told the glad–message;

³⁹ But the Pharisee who had invited him, seeing it, spake within himself, saying, This one, if he were the prophet, would have been taking note, who and of what sort, is the woman, who is even touching him, that she is, a sinner.

³⁴ The lamp of thy body, is thine eye: Whensoever, thine eye, may be, single, even the whole of thy body, is, lighted up; but, whensoever it may be, useless, even thy body, is darkened. ³⁵ Be looking to it, therefore, lest, the light that is in thee, be, darkness.

³⁹ And the Lord said unto him: Now, ye, the Pharisees, the outside of the cup and of the tray, do make pure; but, your inward part, is full of plunder and wickedness. ⁴⁰ Simple ones! Did not, he who made the outside, the inside also, make? ⁴¹ Notwithstanding, as to the things within, give alms, and lo! everything, is, pure unto you. ⁴² But alas for you, the Pharisees! because ye tithe the mint, and the rue, and every garden herb, and pass by justice, and the love of God. But, these things, it was binding to do, and, those, not to pass by. ⁴³ Alas for you, the Pharisees! because ye love the first seats in the synagogues, and the salutations in the market–places! ⁴⁴ Alas for you! because ye are as the secret tombs: even the men that are walking above them, know it not. ⁴⁵ And, making answer, one of the Lawyers saith unto him, Teacher! these things, saying, us also, dost thou insult!

⁴⁵ And, making answer, one of the Lawyers saith unto him, Teacher! these things, saying, us also, dost thou insult! ⁴⁶ And, he, said––And, for you, the lawyers, alas! because ye lade men with burdens hard to be borne, and, yourselves, with one of your fingers, touch not the burdens. ⁴⁷ Alas for you! because ye build the tombs of the prophets, and your fathers slew them! ⁴⁸ Hence, witnesses, are ye, and find consenting pleasure in the works of your fathers: because, they, indeed, slew them, and, ye, are building, [their tombs]. ⁴⁹ For this cause, the Wisdom of God hath said––I will send forth, unto them, prophets and apostles,––and, some from among them, will they slay, and, [some] persecute: ⁵⁰ That the blood of all the prophets which hath been shed from the foundation of the world, may be sought out, from this generation,–– ⁵¹ From the blood of Abel, unto the blood of Zachariah who was destroyed betwixt the altar and the house; Yea! I say unto you––It shall be sought out from this generation. ⁵² Alas for you, the lawyers! because ye took away the key of knowledge: yourselves, entered not, and, them who were entering, ye hindered. ⁵³ And, when, from thence, he came out, the Scribes and the Pharisees began, with vehemence, to be hemming him in, and trying to make him speak off–hand concerning many things,–– ⁵⁴ lying in wait for him, to catch something out of his mouth.

⁴ And I say unto you, my friends––Do not be put in fear of them who kill the body, and, after these things, have nothing more uncommon which they can do. ⁵ But I will suggest to you, whom ye should fear––Fear him who, after killing, hath authority to cast into gehenna,––Yea, I say unto you––Him, fear ye. ⁶ Are not, five sparrows, sold for two farthings? and, not one from among them, hath been forgotten before God. ⁷ But, even the hairs of your head, have all been numbered: Be not afraid: many sparrows, ye excel. ⁸ And I say unto you––Whosoever shall confess me before men, even the Son of Man, will confess him, before the messengers of God; ⁹ But, he who denied me before men, shall be denied before the messengers of God.

⁴⁷ And, that servant, who had come to know the will of his lord, and neither prepared, nor wrought unto his will, shall be beaten with many stripes;

² And, answering, he said unto them––Suppose ye, that, these Galilaeans, had become, sinners beyond all the Galilaeans, because, these things, they have suffered?

² And, answering, he said unto them––Suppose ye, that, these Galilaeans, had become, sinners beyond all the Galilaeans, because, these things, they have suffered? ³ Nay! I tell you, but, except ye repent, ye, all, in like manner, shall perish. ⁴ Or, those eighteen, upon whom fell the tower in Siloam, and slew them, suppose ye that, they, had become, debtors, beyond all the men who were dwelling in Jerusalem?

⁴ Or, those eighteen, upon whom fell the tower in Siloam, and slew them, suppose ye that, they, had become, debtors, beyond all the men who were dwelling in Jerusalem? ⁵ Nay! I tell you, but, except ye repent, ye, all, in the same way, shall perish.

¹⁰ And he was teaching in one of the synagogues, on the Sabbath. ¹¹ And lo! a woman, having a spirit of weakness eighteen years,––and was bowed together, and unable to lift herself up, at all. ¹² And, seeing her, Jesus called her and said to her––Woman! thou art loosed from thy weakness,–– ¹³ and laid on her his hands; and, instantly, she was made straight again, and began glorifying God. ¹⁴ But the synagogue–ruler, answering, being greatly displeased that, on the Sabbath, Jesus had healed, began saying unto the multitude––Six days, there are, in which men ought to get their work done; On them, therefore, come and be healed, and, not on the day of rest. ¹⁵ The Lord answered him, and said––Hypocrites! Doth not, each one of you, on the Sabbath, loose his ox or ass from the manger, and, leading it away, give it drink? ¹⁶ But, this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan had bound, lo! eighteen years, was there not a needs–be that she should be loosed from this bond, on the day of rest? ¹⁷ And, as he was saying, these, things, all who had been setting themselves against him were being put to shame; and, all the multitude, were rejoicing over all the glorious things which were being brought to pass by him.

³⁰ And lo! there are, last, who shall be, first, and there are, first, who shall be, last;
³¹ In that very hour, came near certain Pharisees, saying unto him, Go forth, and be journeying hence, because, Herod, desireth to slay thee. ³² And he said unto them––Go and tell this fox, Lo! I am casting out demons, and, cures, am I finishing, today, and tomorrow,––

³² And he said unto them––Go and tell this fox, Lo! I am casting out demons, and, cures, am I finishing, today, and tomorrow,–– ³³ and, on the third, I am to be made perfect. Nevertheless, I must needs, today, and tomorrow, and the following, be journeying on, because it is impossible that a prophet perish, outside Jerusalem.

³³ and, on the third, I am to be made perfect. Nevertheless, I must needs, today, and tomorrow, and the following, be journeying on, because it is impossible that a prophet perish, outside Jerusalem. ³⁴ Jerusalem! Jerusalem! she that slayeth the prophets, and stoneth them that are sent unto her! How often, have I desired to gather together thy children, like as a hen, her own brood, under her wings,––and ye did not desire!

¹ And it came to pass, when he entered into the house of one of the rulers of the Pharisees, on a Sabbath, to eat bread, that, they, were narrowly watching him.

¹¹ Because, everyone who exalteth himself, shall be abased; and, he that abaseth himself, shall be exalted?

² and both the Pharisees and the Scribes were murmuring, saying, This man, unto sinners, giveth welcome, and eateth with them.

²⁰ And, a certain beggar, by name Lazarus, used to be cast near his gate, full of sores, ²¹ and to long to be fed from the crumbs that fell from the table of the rich man: nay! even, the dogs, used to come and lick his sores. ²² And it came to pass that the beggar died, and was carried away by the messengers, into the bosom of Abraham. And, the rich man also, died, and was buried.

³¹ But he said unto him––If, unto Moses and the Prophets, they do not hearken, neither, if one, from among the dead, should arise, would they be persuaded.

¹⁰ Two men, went up into the temple to pray, one, a Pharisee, and, the other, a tax–collector. ¹¹ The Pharisee, taking his stand, these things unto himself was praying: O God! I thank thee, that I am not like the rest of men,––extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or, even as this tax–collector; ¹² I fast twice in the week, I give a tenth of whatsoever things I gain! ¹³ But, the tax–collector, afar off, standing,––would not so much as lift up, his eyes, unto heaven, but kept smiting his own breast saying––O God! be propitiated unto me, the sinner! ¹⁴ I tell you––This one went down justified, unto his house, rather than that one; because, every one who exalteth himself, shall be abased, but, he that abaseth himself, shall be exalted?

¹⁴ I tell you––This one went down justified, unto his house, rather than that one; because, every one who exalteth himself, shall be abased, but, he that abaseth himself, shall be exalted?

¹⁷ Verily I say unto you––Whosoever shall not welcome the kingdom of God, as a child, in nowise shall enter thereinto.

³⁵ And it came to pass, as he was drawing near unto Jericho, a certain blind man, was sitting beside the road, begging.

⁷ And all, when they beheld, began to murmur, saying––With a sinful man, hath he gone in to lodge!

⁵⁶ But, a certain maid–servant, seeing him seating himself towards the light, and looking steadfastly at him, said––This one also, was, with him. ⁵⁷ But, he, denied, saying––I know him not, woman! ⁵⁸ And, after a little, another, beholding him, said––Thou also, art, from among them. But, Peter, said––Man! I am not. ⁵⁹ And, about one hour having passed, a certain other, began stoutly to insist, saying––Of a truth, this one also, was with him; for indeed he is, a Galilaean. ⁶⁰ But Peter said––Man! I know not what thou art saying! And, instantly while yet he was speaking, a cock crew. ⁶¹ And the Lord turned, and looked at Peter; and Peter was put in mind of the declaration of the Lord, how he had said to him––Before, a cock, crow this day, thou wilt deny me thrice!

⁶⁷ But he said unto them––If I should tell, you, in nowise would ye believe,

² And they began to accuse him, saying––This one, found we, perverting our nation, and forbidding to give, tribute unto Caesar,––and affirming himself to be, an anointed king.

¹⁹ And he said unto them––What things? And, they, said unto him––The things concerning Jesus the Nazarene, who became a prophet, mighty in work and word, before God and all the people:

⁵² And, they, [having bowed down unto him] returned unto Jerusalem, with great joy;

⁴ in him, was, life, and, the life, was, the light of men.––
⁵ And, the light, in the darkness, shineth; and, the darkness, thereof, laid not hold. ⁶ There arose a man, sent from God, whose name was, John: ⁷ The same, came, for a witness, That he might bear witness, concerning the light, that, all, might believe, through him. ⁸ He, was not the light,––but, that he might bear witness concerning the light, ⁹ It, was––The real light that enlighteneth every man––Coming into the world.

¹⁷ Because, the law, through Moses, was given, favour and truth, through Jesus Christ, came into existence. ¹⁸ No one, hath seen, God, at any time: An Only Begotten God, The One existing within the bosom of the Father, He, hath interpreted [him].
¹⁹ And, this, is the witness of John, when the Jews sent forth unto him, out of Jerusalem, priests and Levites,––that they might question him––Who art, thou?

³⁴ I, therefore, have seen, and borne witness––That, this, is, the, Son of God.

³⁸ But Jesus, turning, and looking at them following, saith unto them––What seek ye? And, they, said unto him––Rabbi! which meaneth, when translated, Teacher, Where abidest thou?

⁴⁹ Nathanael answered him––Rabbi! thou, art, the Son of God: Thou, art, King, of Israel. ⁵⁰ Jesus answered, and said unto him––Because I said unto thee, I saw thee under the fig–tree, believest thou? A greater thing than these, shalt thou see!

² The same, came unto him, by night, and said unto him––Rabbi! we know that, from God, thou hast come, a teacher; for, no one, can be doing, these signs, which, thou, art doing, except, God, be with him.

⁹ Nicodemus answered, and said unto him––How, can these things, come about? ¹⁰ Jesus answered, and said unto him––Art, thou, the teacher of Israel, and, these things, knowest not?

¹⁵ That, whosoever believeth in him, may have life age–abiding. ¹⁶ For God, so loved, the world, that, his Only Begotten Son, he gave,––that, whosoever believeth on him, might not perish, but have life age–abiding. ¹⁷ For God, sent not, his Son into the world, that he might judge the world, but, that the world might be saved through him.

¹⁷ For God, sent not, his Son into the world, that he might judge the world, but, that the world might be saved through him. ¹⁸ He that believeth on him, is not to be judged: he that believeth not, already, hath been judged,––because he hath not believed on the name of the Only Begotten Son of God. ¹⁹ And, this, is the judgment: That, the light, hath come into the world,––and men loved, rather the darkness than the light, for, wicked, were their, works.

¹⁹ And, this, is the judgment: That, the light, hath come into the world,––and men loved, rather the darkness than the light, for, wicked, were their, works. ²⁰ For, whosoever doth practise corrupt things, hateth the light, and cometh not unto the light, lest his works should be reproved; ²¹ But, he that doeth the truth, cometh unto the light, that his works may be, made manifest, that, in God, have they been wrought.

³⁶ He that believeth on the Son, hath life age–abiding: whereas, he that yieldeth not unto the Son, shall not see life,––but, the anger of God, awaiteth him.

¹⁹ The woman saith unto him––Sir! I perceive that, a prophet, art, thou:––

²⁶ Jesus saith unto her––I, that speak unto thee, am he.

³⁴ Jesus saith unto them––My food, is, that I should do the will of him that sent me, and complete, his work.

⁹ And, straightway, the man was made well and took up his couch, and began to walk. Now it was Sabbath, on that day.

¹¹ who, however, answered them––He that made me well, he, unto me, said––Take up thy couch, and be walking.

¹¹ who, however, answered them––He that made me well, he, unto me, said––Take up thy couch, and be walking. ¹² They questioned him––Who is the man that said unto thee, Take up [thy couch], and be walking? ¹³ But, the healed one, knew not, who, it was; for, Jesus, had turned aside, a multitude, being in the place. ¹⁴ After these things, Jesus findeth him, in the temple, and said unto him––See! thou hast become, well:––No more, be committing sin, lest, some worse thing, do thee befall.

¹⁶ And, on this account, were the Jews persecuting Jesus, because, these things, he had been doing, on Sabbath.

¹⁹ Jesus, therefore, answered, and went on to say unto them––Verily, verily, I say unto you: The Son cannot be doing, of himself, a single thing,––save anything he may see, the Father, doing; for, whatsoever, he, may be doing, these things, the Son also, in like manner, doeth.

²² For neither doth, the Father, judge anyone,––but, all the judging, hath given unto the Son: ²³ That, all, may honour the Son, just as they honour the Father: he that doth not honour the Son, doth not, in fact, honour the Father who sent him.

²³ That, all, may honour the Son, just as they honour the Father: he that doth not honour the Son, doth not, in fact, honour the Father who sent him. ²⁴ Verily, verily, I say unto you: He that heareth, my word, and believeth in him that sent me, hath life age–abiding, and, into judgment, cometh not, but hath passed over, out of death into life. ²⁵ Verily, verily, I say unto you: There cometh an hour, and now is, when, the dead, shall hearken unto the voice of the Son of God, and, they who have hearkened, shall live. ²⁶ For, just as, the Father, hath life, in himself, in like manner, unto the Son also, hath he given, life, to have, in himself; ²⁷ And, authority, hath he given him, to be executing, judgment,––because, Son of Man, is he!

³⁶ But, I, have, as my witness, something greater than John’s; for, the works which the Father hath given me, that I should complete them,––the works themselves which I am doing, bear witness concerning me, that, the Father, hath sent me.

⁴⁴ How can, ye, believe,––Glory from one another, receiving; and, the glory which is from the only God, are not seeking? ⁴⁵ Do not think that, I, will accuse you unto the Father: There, is, who accuseth you, even, Moses,––on whom, ye, have set your hope. ⁴⁶ For, if ye had been believing, in Moses, ye would, in that case, have been believing, in me: for, concerning me, he wrote. ⁴⁷ But, if, in his writings, ye are not believing, how, in my sayings, will ye believe?

¹⁴ The people, therefore, seeing what signs he wrought, began to say––This, is, of a truth, the prophet who was to come into the world.

³⁷ All that which the Father is giving me, unto me, will have come, and, him that cometh unto me, in nowise will I cast out,––

⁵² The Jews, therefore, began to strive one with another, saying––How can this one, unto us, give his flesh to eat?

⁶⁹ And, we, have believed, and come to know,––that, thou, art the Holy One of God.

¹¹ The Jews, therefore, were seeking him in the feast, and were saying––Where is that one? ¹² and there was great, murmuring, about him among the multitudes: some, indeed, were saying––Good, is he! [but], others, were saying––Not so! but he is leading the multitude astray. ¹³ No one, nevertheless, was speaking, openly, about him, because of their fear of the Jews.

¹⁷ If any one intend, his will, to do, he shall get to know concerning the teaching––whether it is, of God, or, I, from myself, am speaking,

¹⁹ Did not, Moses, give you the law? And yet, not one of you, doeth the law!––Why, seek ye, to slay, me?

²¹ Jesus answered, and said unto them––One work, I did, and ye, all, are marveling: ²² For this cause, Moses, hath given you, circumcision,––not that, of Moses, it is, but of the fathers; ––and, on Sabbath, ye circumcise a man. ²³ If, circumcision, a man receiveth, on Sabbath, that the law of Moses may not be broken, with me, are ye bitter as gall, because, a whole man, I made, well, on Sabbath?

²⁷ But, as for this one, we know whence he is; The Christ, however, whensoever he shall come, no one, getteth to know whence he is.

⁴¹ Others, were saying––This, is, the Christ. But, others, were saying––Out of Galilee, is, the Christ, to come? ⁴² Hath not the Scripture said: Of the seed of David, and from Bethlehem, the village where David was, cometh the Christ? ⁴³ A division, therefore, arose in the multitude, because of him.

⁴⁵ So then the officers came unto the High–priests and Pharisees, and, they, said unto them––For what cause, have ye not brought him? ⁴⁶ The officers answered––Never, man spake thus! ⁴⁷ The Pharisees, therefore, answered them––Surely, ye also, have not been led astray? ⁴⁸ Surely, none of the rulers, hath believed in him, nor of the Pharisees?

⁴⁸ Surely, none of the rulers, hath believed in him, nor of the Pharisees? ⁴⁹ But, this multitude, that take no note of the law, are, laid under a curse.

⁴⁹ But, this multitude, that take no note of the law, are, laid under a curse. ⁵⁰ Nicodemus saith unto them––he that came unto him formerly, being, one, from among them–– ⁵¹ Surely, our law, doth not judge the man, unless it hear first from him, and get to know what he is doing? ⁵² They answered and said unto him––Surely, thou also, art not, of Galilee? Search and see! That, out of Galilee, a prophet is not to arise.

³ And the Scribes and the Pharisees bring a woman, caught, in adultery; and, setting her in the midst, ⁴ they say unto him––Teacher! this woman, hath been caught in the very act of committing adultery! ⁵ Now, in the law, Moses, [unto us] gave command to stone, such as these. What, then, dost, thou, say? ⁶ [This, however, they were saying, by way of testing him,––that they might have whereof to accuse him.] But, Jesus, stooping down, with his finger, wrote in the ground. ⁷ When, however, they still continued questioning him, he lifted himself up and said [unto them]––He of you, that is without sin, let him first cast at her a stone; ⁸ and, again stooping down, he wrote in the ground.

¹² Again, therefore, unto them, spake Jesus, saying––I, am the light of the world: He that followeth me, shall in nowise walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.

¹⁴ Jesus answered, and said unto them––Even though, I, bear witness concerning myself, true, is my witness, because I know whence I came, and whither I go; but, ye, know not whence I come, and whither I go. ¹⁵ Ye, according to the flesh, do judge: I, am judging no one.

⁴¹ Ye, are doing the works of your father. They said unto him––We, of fornication, were not born: One father, have we––God.

⁴⁶ Which of you convicteth me of sin? If, truth, I speak, wherefore, do, ye, not believe me?

⁴⁹ Jesus answered––I, have not, a demon, but honour my Father: and, ye, dishonour me.

² And his disciples questioned him, saying––Rabbi! who sinned, this man or his parents, that, blind, he should be born?

⁶ These things, having said, he spat on the ground, and made clay with the spittle, and laid the clay upon his eyes; ⁷ and said unto him––Withdraw! wash in the pool of Siloam,––which is to be translated, Sent. He went away, therefore, and washed, and came, seeing.
⁸ The neighbours, therefore, and they who used to observe him aforetime––that he was, a beggar, were saying––Is not, this, he that used to sit and beg? ⁹ Others, were saying––’Tis, the same. Others, were saying––Nay! but he is, like him. He, was saying––I, am he. ¹⁰ So they were saying unto him––How [then] were thine eyes opened?

¹⁰ So they were saying unto him––How [then] were thine eyes opened? ¹¹ He, answered––The man that is called Jesus, made, clay, and anointed mine eyes, and said unto me: Withdraw unto the pool of Siloam, and wash. Going away, therefore, and washing, I received sight.

¹¹ He, answered––The man that is called Jesus, made, clay, and anointed mine eyes, and said unto me: Withdraw unto the pool of Siloam, and wash. Going away, therefore, and washing, I received sight.

¹¹ He, answered––The man that is called Jesus, made, clay, and anointed mine eyes, and said unto me: Withdraw unto the pool of Siloam, and wash. Going away, therefore, and washing, I received sight. ¹² And they said unto him––Where is, He? He saith––I know not.
¹³ They bring him unto the Pharisees––him at one time blind. ¹⁴ Now it was Sabbath, on the day when Jesus made, the clay, and opened his eyes. ¹⁵ Again, therefore, the Pharisees also questioned him, as to how he received sight. And, he, said unto them––Clay, laid he upon mine eyes, and I washed,––and do see.

¹⁵ Again, therefore, the Pharisees also questioned him, as to how he received sight. And, he, said unto them––Clay, laid he upon mine eyes, and I washed,––and do see. ¹⁶ Certain from among the Pharisees, therefore, were saying––This man is not, from God, because, the Sabbath, he keepeth not. Others, [however] were saying––How can a sinful man, such signs as these, be doing? And there was, a division, among them.

²¹ But, how he now seeth, we know not, or, who opened his eyes, we, know not,––Question, him, he is, of age, he, concerning himself, shall speak. ²² These things, said his parents, because they were in fear of the Jews,––for, already, had the Jews agreed together, that, if anyone should confess, him, to be Christ, an, excommunicant from the synagogue, should he be made.

²⁴ So they called the man a second time––[him] who had been blind, and said unto him––Give glory unto God! We know that, this man, is, a sinner. ²⁵ He, therefore, answered––Whether he is a sinner, I know not: One thing, I know,––That, whereas I was, blind, now, I see! ²⁶ They said, therefore, unto him––What did he unto thee? How opened he thine eyes?

²⁶ They said, therefore, unto him––What did he unto thee? How opened he thine eyes? ²⁷ He answered them––I told you just now, and ye did not hear: Why, again, do ye wish to hear? Are, ye also, wishing to become, his disciples?

²⁷ He answered them––I told you just now, and ye did not hear: Why, again, do ye wish to hear? Are, ye also, wishing to become, his disciples?

³⁰ The man answered, and said unto them––Why! Herein, is, the marvel: That, ye, know not whence he is, and yet he opened mine eyes.

³⁰ The man answered, and said unto them––Why! Herein, is, the marvel: That, ye, know not whence he is, and yet he opened mine eyes. ³¹ We know that, God, unto sinners, doth not hearken: but, if one be, a worshipper of God, and be doing, his will, unto this one, he hearkeneth. ³² Out of age–past time, hath it never been heard, that anyone opened the eyes of one who, blind, had been born. ³³ If this man were not from God, he could have done nothing. ³⁴ They answered and said unto him––In sins, wast, thou, born, altogether; and art, thou, teaching, us? And they cast him out.
³⁵ Jesus heard that they had cast him out: and, finding him, said––Dost, thou, believe on the son of Man? ³⁶ He answered [and said]––And, who, is he, Sir, that I may believe on him? ³⁷ Jesus said unto him––Thou hast both seen him and, he that is speaking with thee, is, he. ³⁸ And, he, said––I believe, Sir! and worshipped him.
³⁹ And Jesus said––For judgment, I, unto this world, came: that, they who were not seeing, might see, and, they who were seeing, might become, blind. ⁴⁰ They of the Pharisees who were with him, heard, these things, and said unto him––Are, we also, blind?

¹⁹ A division, again, took place among the Jews, because of these words.

³² Jesus answered them––Many works, have I showed you, noble ones, from my Father: For which of those works are ye stoning me?

³⁶ Of him whom, the Father, hallowed and sent forth into the world, are, ye, saying––Thou speakest profanely, because I said, Son of God, I am? ³⁷ If I am not doing the works of my Father, do not believe in me;

⁴ But Jesus hearing, said––This sickness, is not unto death, but for the glory of God,––that the Son of God may be glorified thereby.

⁹ Jesus answered––Are there not, twelve hours, in the day? If one walk in the day, he doth no stumble, because, the light of this world, he seeth; ¹⁰ But, if one walk in the night, he stumbleth, because, the light, is not in him.

²⁷ She saith unto him––Yea, Lord! I, have believed, that, thou, art the Christ, the Son of God,––He who, into the world, should come.

³⁷ But, some from among them, said––Could not this man, who opened the eyes of the blind, have caused that, this one also, should not have died?

⁴⁰ Jesus saith unto her––Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldst believe, thou shouldst see the glory of God? ⁴¹ So they took away the stone. And, Jesus, lifted up his eyes on high, and said––Father! I thank thee, thou didst hear me: ⁴² I, indeed, knew that, always, unto me, thou dost hearken; but, for the sake of the multitude standing around, I spake,––that they might believe that, thou, didst send me forth.

⁴⁶ but, certain from among them, went away unto the Pharisees, and told them what Jesus had done. ⁴⁷ The High–priests and Pharisees, therefore, brought together a high–council, and were saying––What are we to do, in that, this man, doeth, many signs?

⁵⁷ Now the High–priests and the Pharisees had given commands, that, if anyone came to know where he was, he should inform [them], so that they might seize him.

¹⁹ the Pharisees, therefore, said among themselves––Ye observe that ye are profiting nothing: See! the world, after him, hath gone away.

³⁵ Jesus, therefore, said unto them––Yet a little while, the light, is, among you: Walk, while ye have, the light, lest, darkness, on you should lay hold; and, he that walketh in darkness, knoweth not whither he drifteth.

³⁵ Jesus, therefore, said unto them––Yet a little while, the light, is, among you: Walk, while ye have, the light, lest, darkness, on you should lay hold; and, he that walketh in darkness, knoweth not whither he drifteth. ³⁶ While, the light, ye have, believe on the light, that, sons of light, ye may become. These things, spake Jesus,––and, departing, was hid from them.
³⁷ And, although such signs, as these, he had done before them, they were not believing on him:––

³⁷ And, although such signs, as these, he had done before them, they were not believing on him:–– ³⁸ that, the word of Isaiah the prophet, might be fulfilled, which said––Lord! who believed, what we have heard? And, the arm of the Lord, to whom, was it revealed? ³⁹ On this account, they could not believe, because, again, said Isaiah–– ⁴⁰ He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart; lest they should see with their eyes, and should understand with their heart, and should turn,––and I should heal them.

⁴⁰ He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart; lest they should see with their eyes, and should understand with their heart, and should turn,––and I should heal them. ⁴¹ These things, said Isaiah, because he saw his glory, and spake concerning him.
⁴² Nevertheless, however, even from among the rulers, many believed on him; but, because of the Pharisees, they were not confessing him, lest, excommunicants from the synagogue, they should be made;

⁴² Nevertheless, however, even from among the rulers, many believed on him; but, because of the Pharisees, they were not confessing him, lest, excommunicants from the synagogue, they should be made; ⁴³ for they loved the glory of men, more than the glory of God.

⁴⁶ I, a light, into the world have come, that, no one who believeth on me, in darkness, should abide.

¹¹ Believe me, That, I, am in the Father, and, the Father, in me; ––or else, on account of the works themselves, believe ye.

¹¹ Believe me, That, I, am in the Father, and, the Father, in me; ––or else, on account of the works themselves, believe ye.
¹² Verily, verily, I say unto you––He that believeth on me, the works which, I, am doing, he also, shall do; and, greater than these, shall he do, because, I, unto the Father, am going,–– ¹³ And because, whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, the same, will I do, that, the Father, may be glorified, in the Son:

²¹ He that hath my commandments and keepeth them, he, it is that loveth me; and, he that loveth me, shall be loved by my Father, and, I, will love him, and will manifest, myself, unto him. ²² Judas, not the Iscariot, saith unto him––Lord! what hath happened, that, unto us, thou art about to manifest thyself, and, not unto the world? ²³ Jesus answered, and said unto him––If any man be loving me, my word, he will keep, and, my Father, will love him,––and, unto him, will we come, and, an abode with him, will we make.

³⁰ No longer, many things, will I speak with you; for, the world’s ruler, is coming, and, in me, hath, nothing,––

¹⁶ Not, ye, chose, me, but, I, chose you, and placed you, that ye should go your way and bear, fruit,––and, your fruit, should abide: that, whatsoever ye should ask the Father in my name, he might give unto you.

²² Had I not come and spoken unto them, Sin, had they none; but, now, have they no, excuse, for their sin. ²³ He that hateth me, hateth, my Father also. ²⁴ Had I not done among them, the works, which, no other, had done, sin, had they none; but, now, have they, both seen and hated both me and my Father.

²⁴ Had I not done among them, the works, which, no other, had done, sin, had they none; but, now, have they, both seen and hated both me and my Father.

² Excommunicants from the synagogue, will they make you; Nay! there cometh an hour, that, every one who killeth you, shall think to be rendering, divine service, unto God!

⁴ I, glorified thee on the earth, The work, finishing, which thou hast given me that I should do.

³⁰ They answered and said unto him––If this one had not been doing, mischief, unto thee, had we not delivered him up.

⁶ When, therefore, the High–priests and the officers saw him, they cried aloud, saying––Crucify! Crucify! Pilate saith unto them––Ye, take him, and crucify; for, I, find not in him, a fault.

³⁸ But, after these things, Joseph from Arimathaea, being a disciple of Jesus, but having kept it secret for fear of the Jews, requested Pilate, that he might take away the body of Jesus; and Pilate gave permission. He came, therefore, and took away his body.

¹⁹ It being late, therefore, on that day, the first of the week,––and, the doors, having been made fast where the disciples were, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came, and stood in the midst, and saith unto them––Peace be unto you!

²⁸ Thomas answered, and said unto him––My Lord, and my God!

³¹ but, these, are written, that ye may believe that, Jesus, is, the Christ, the Son of God; and that, believing, ye may have life in his name.

²² Ye men of Israel! hear these words:––Jesus the Nazarene, a man pointed out of God unto you by mighty works and wonders and signs, which God did through him in your midst, just as ye yourselves know,

² And, a certain man, who had been, lame from his mother’s womb, was being carried,––whom they used to lay daily at the door of the temple––the [door] called Beautiful, that he might ask alms of them who were entering into the temple: ³ Who, seeing Peter and John about to enter into the temple, was requesting to receive, an alms. ⁴ But Peter looking steadfastly at him––with John––said: Look on us! ⁵ And, he, gave heed unto them, expecting to receive, something from them. ⁶ But Peter said––Silver and gold, have none, but, what I have, the same, unto thee do I give:––In the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, Walk! ⁷ And, laying hold of him by the right hand, he raised him up; and, instantly, were his feet and ankles strengthened; –– ⁸ And, leaping forward, he stood and walked, and entered with them into the temple, walking and leaping and praising God. ⁹ And all the people saw him, walking and praising God; ¹⁰ And they began to recognise him, that, the same, was he who, for the alms, used to sit at the Beautiful Gate of the temple; ––and they were filled with amazement and transport at what had happened unto him.

¹⁰ And they began to recognise him, that, the same, was he who, for the alms, used to sit at the Beautiful Gate of the temple; ––and they were filled with amazement and transport at what had happened unto him. ¹¹ And, as he held fast Peter and John, all the people ran together unto them, in the portico which is called Solomon’s,––greatly amazed.

²² Moses, indeed, said––A prophet, unto you, shall the Lord God raise up among your brethren, like unto me: unto him, shall ye hearken respecting all things whatsoever he shall speak unto you. ²³ And it shall be––every soul, whatsoever, which shall not hearken unto that prophet, shall be utterly destroyed from among the people. ²⁴ But, indeed, all the prophets,––from Samuel and those following after, as many as have spoken, have even announced these days. ²⁵ Ye, are the sons of the prophets, and of the covenant which God covenanted unto your fathers, saying unto Abraham––And, in thy seed, shall be blessed, all the families of the ground. ²⁶ Unto you first, God––having raised up his Servant––hath sent him forth, ready to bless you, when ye are turning away, each one, from your wickednesses.

¹⁴ Seeing, the man also standing, with them, even the [man] who had been cured, they had nothing wherewith to contradict.

¹⁸ And, calling them, they gave them the sweeping charge,––not to be sounding aloud, nor even to be teaching, upon the name of Jesus.

²⁰ For, we, cannot but be speaking the things which we have seen and heard. ²¹ They, however, further charging them with threats, let them go, finding nothing as to how they might chastise them, on account of the people; because, all, were glorifying God for that which had come to pass; ––

¹³ Howbeit, of the rest, no one, durst join himself unto them,––nevertheless the people continued to magnify them;

³⁸ Now, therefore, I say unto you––stand aloof from these men, and let them alone; because if, of men, be this project or this work, it will be overthrown,–– ³⁹ But, if it is, of God, ye will not be able to overthrow them: lest once, even fighters against God, ye be found. ⁴⁰ And they were persuaded by him; and, calling unto them the Apostles, they, with beating, charged them not be speaking upon the name of Jesus; and let them go.

¹¹ Then, they set on men who were saying––We have heard him speaking profane things against Moses and God. ¹² And they stirred up the people and the elders and the scribes; and, coming upon him, they caught him away, and led him into the high–council. ¹³ And they set up false witnesses, who said––This man, ceaseth not speaking things against this holy place and the law; ¹⁴ For we have heard him saying––This Jesus the Nazarene, will overthrow this place, and will change the customs which, Moses, delivered unto us.

³⁵ The same Moses whom they had refused, saying––Who hath appointed thee to be ruler and judge? the same, both as ruler and redeemer, did God send, by the hand of the messenger who had appeared unto him in the bush:

³⁶ And, as they were journeying along the way, they came unto a certain water,––and the eunuch saith––Lo! water! What doth hinder my being immersed?

²⁰ And, straightway, in the synagogues, he began proclaiming Jesus, that, This, is the Son of God.

³¹ And saith––Cornelius! thy prayer hath been heard, and, thine alms, have been remembered before God. ³² Send, therefore, unto Joppa, and fetch Simon, who is surnamed Peter. The same is being entertained in the house of one Simon a tanner, by the sea. ³³ Immediately, therefore, I sent unto thee: Thou, also hast, well, done in coming. Now, therefore, all we, before God are present, to hear all things that have been enjoined upon thee by the Lord.

³⁸ How God anointed him with Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all that were oppressed by the adversary, because, God, was with him.

⁴⁷ For so hath the Lord commanded us––I have set thee for a light of nations, that thou mayest be for salvation unto the end of the earth.

⁴ And the throng of the city was divided; and some indeed were with the Jews, while some were with the apostles.

²² And they hearkened unto him as far as this word, and lifted up their voice, saying––Away from the earth, with such a man as this, for it is not fit that he should live.

¹⁸ To open their eyes; that they turn from darkness unto light, and the authority of Satan unto God, that they may receive remission of sins, and an inheritance among them who have been made holy by the faith respecting me.

²² So then, having met with, the help that is from God, until this day, do I stand, witnessing to both small and great, nothing else saying, than those things which both the prophets, and Moses, did say should certainly come to pass:–– ²³ If, to suffer, the Christ was destined, if, the first of a resurrection of the dead, he is about to carry tidings, of light, both unto the people, and unto the nations.

⁴ And, when the natives saw the brute hanging out from his hand, they began to say, one to another––Doubtless, this man is, a murderer, whom, though brought safely through out of the sea, Justice, hath not suffered, to live.

⁴ Who was distinguished as the Son of God––by power, according to a Holy Spirit, through means of a resurrection of the dead,––Jesus Christ our Lord;

¹⁷ If, however, thou, art taking the name of Jew, and resting thyself upon law, and boasting in God,

¹⁹ Art persuaded, moreover, that, thou thyself, art––a guide of the blind, a light of them that are in darkness, ²⁰ A trainer of the simple, a teacher of babes, having the forming of knowledge and truth in the law,–– ²¹ Thou, therefore, that art teaching someone else, thyself, art thou not teaching? Thou that proclaimest––Do not steal! Art thou, stealing? ²² That sayest––Do not commit adultery! Art thou, committing adultery? That abhorrest sacrilege, Art thou, robbing temples?

³ For, what was impossible by the law in that it was weak through the flesh, God, by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and concerning sin, condemned sin in the flesh,

² For I bear them witness that they have, a zeal for God,––but not according to correct knowledge; ³ For, not knowing God’s righteousness and, their own, seeking to establish, unto the righteousness of God, have they not submitted; ⁴ For Christ is an end of law, for righteousness, unto every one that believeth.

¹⁴ How, then, shall men call upon one in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in one of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear, without one to proclaim?

²⁰ Isaiah, however, waxeth daring, and saith,––I have been found by them who after me were not seeking, manifest have I become unto them who for me were not enquiring;

⁷ What then? That which Israel seeketh after, the same, it hath not obtained:––the election, however, have obtained it, and, the rest, have been hardened; –– ⁸ Even as it is written––God hath given unto them a spirit of stupor,––eyes not to see, and ears not to hear,––until this very day; ⁹ And, David, saith––Let their table be turned into a snare, and into gin, and into a trap, and into a recompense unto them, ¹⁰ Darkened be their eyes, not to see, and, their back, do thou continually bow down.

¹² And toil, working with our own hands: being reviled, we bless, being persecuted, we hold on,

⁴ In the name of our Lord Jesus, ye being gathered together, and my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus, ⁵ To deliver such a one as this, unto Satan, for the destruction of the flesh,––that, the spirit, may be saved in the day of the Lord.

¹³ Whereas, them who are without, God, judgeth? Remove ye the wicked man from among, yourselves.

¹⁰ Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners––shall inherit, God’s kingdom.

³⁵ But some one will say––How, are the dead raised? and, with what kind of body, do they come?

¹⁶ In these, indeed, a fragrance out of death into death, but, in those, a fragrance out of life into life. And, for these things, who is sufficient?

⁴ In whom, the god of this age, hath blinded the minds of the unbelieving, to the end they may not discern the radiance of the glad–message of the glory of the Christ––who is the image of God. ⁵ For, not ourselves, do we proclaim, but Christ Jesus, as Lord, and, ourselves, as your servants for Jesus’ sake. ⁶ Because, the God who said––Out of darkness, light shall shine! [is he] who hath shone in our hearts, in proportion to the radiance of the glorious knowledge of God, in the face of Christ.

⁶ Because, the God who said––Out of darkness, light shall shine! [is he] who hath shone in our hearts, in proportion to the radiance of the glorious knowledge of God, in the face of Christ.

²¹ Him who knew not sin, in our behalf, he made to be, sin, that we might become God’s righteousness in him.

¹¹ But, when Cephas came unto Antioch, to the face, [even], him, I resisted, because he stood condemned; ¹² For, before that certain came from James, with them of the nations, used he to eat; whereas, when they came, he used to withdraw, and keep himself separate, fearing them of the circumcision; ¹³ And the rest of the Jews [also] used hypocrisy with him, so that, even Barnabas, was carried away by their hypocrisy.

¹⁵ We, by nature Jews, and not sinners from among the nations,

⁴ But, when the fulness of the time came, God sent forth his Son, who came to be of a woman, who came to be under law,––

¹⁰ Hence, then, as we have opportunity, let us be working what is good, towards all,––but, especially, towards the family of the faith.

³ Among whom also, we all, had our behaviour, at one time, in the covetings of our flesh, doing the things desired by the flesh and the mind, and were children, by nature, of anger––even as the rest,––

¹⁴ Wherefore it saith––Up! thou sleeper, and arise from among the dead, and the Christ will shine upon thee.

¹⁶ Buying out for yourselves the opportunity, because, the days, are evil;

⁵ In wisdom, be walking towards them who are without,––the opportunity, buying out for yourselves,

¹⁰ And with all manner of deceit of unrighteousness, in them who are destroying themselves, because, the love of the truth, they did not welcome, that they might be saved; ––

² At the end of these days, He hath spoken unto us in his Son,––whom he hath appointed heir of all things, through whom also he hath made the ages; ³ Who, being an eradiated brightness of his glory, and an exact representation of his very being, also bearing up all things by the utterance of his power, purification of sins, having achieved, sat down on the right hand of the majesty in high places:
⁴ By so much becoming superior to the messengers, by as much as, going beyond them, he hath inherited a more distinguished name. ⁵ For unto which of the messengers said he at any time––My Son, art, thou, I, this day have begotten thee? and again––I, will become, his father, and, he, shall become my Son? ⁶ But, whensoever he again introduceth the first–begotten into the habitable earth, he saith––And let all God’s messengers worship him! ⁷ Even as to the messengers, indeed, he saith––Who maketh his messengers, winds, and his ministers of state, a fiery flame; ⁸ but, as to the Son,––Thy throne, O God, is unto times age–abiding, and––A sceptre of equity, is the sceptre of his kingdom, ⁹ Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated lawlessness,––For this cause, hath God, thy God, anointed thee with the oil of exultation, beyond thy partners;

² As one, faithful, to him who made him: as, Moses also, in [all] his house. ³ For, of more glory than Moses, hath, this one been counted worthy––by as much as more honour than, the house, hath, he that prepared it; ⁴ For, every house, is prepared by someone,––but, he that hath prepared all things, is, God. ⁵ Even Moses, indeed, was faithful in all his house, as an attendant, for a witness of the things which were to be spoken;

¹⁵ So long as it is said––Today, if, unto his voice, ye would hearken, do not harden your hearts,––as in the embitterment. ¹⁶ For, who, though they heard, caused embitterment? Nay, indeed! did not all who come forth out of Egypt through Moses? ¹⁷ But, with whom, was be sore vexed forty years? Was it not with them who sinned, whose dead bodies fell in the desert? ¹⁸ But, unto whom, sware he, that they should not enter into his rest,––save unto them who were obstinate? ¹⁹ And we see, that they were not able to enter, because of unbelief.

¹¹ Let us, therefore, give diligence to enter into that rest, lest anyone fall into the same example, of obstinacy.

⁷ Then, said I––Lo! I am come,––in the heading of the scroll, it is written concerning me,––to do, O God, thy will.

²⁶ For, if, by choice, we be sinning, after the receiving of the full–knowledge of the truth, no longer, for sins, is there left over, a sacrifice,

¹⁵ And, the prayer of faith, shall save the exhausted one, and the Lord will raise him up, and, if he have committed, sins, it shall be forgiven him. ¹⁶ Be openly confessing, therefore, one to another, your sins, and be praying in each other’s behalf,––that ye may be healed. Much availeth, the supplication of a righteous man, when it is energised: ¹⁷ Elijah, was, a man, affected like us; and he earnestly prayed that there might be no moisture, and there was no moisture on the land, for three years and six months,–– ¹⁸ And, again, he prayed, and, the heaven, gave, rain, and, the land, shot up her fruit.

⁹ But, ye, are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for a peculiar treasure, that, the excellences, ye may tell forth, of him who, out of darkness, hath called you into his marvelous light:––

²³ Who, being reviled, was not reviling again, suffering, he was not threatening, but was making surrender unto him that judgeth righteously,––

⁵ In like manner, ye younger men––submit yourselves unto elders; ––All, however, one towards another, gird on humility; because, God, against the haughty, arrayeth himself, whereas, unto the lowly, he giveth favour.

⁸ If we say––Sin, have we none! we are deceiving, ourselves, and, the truth, is not in us. ⁹ If we are confessing our sins, faithful, is he and, righteous––that he should forgive us our sins, and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. ¹⁰ If we say––We have not sinned! false, are we making, him, and, his word, is not in us.

¹¹ Whereas, he that hateth his brother, in the darkness, dwelleth, and in the darkness, walketh; and knoweth not whither he is drifting, because the, darkness, hath blinded his eyes.

²¹ Beloved! if our heart be not condemning us, boldness, have we, towards God; ²² And, whatsoever we are asking, we are receiving from him, because, his commandments, are we keeping, and, the things that are pleasing before him, are we doing.

¹⁵ Whosoever shall confess, that, Jesus [Christ] is the Son of God, God, in him, abideth, and, he, in God.

⁵ [And] who is he that overcometh the world, save he that believeth that, Jesus, is the Son of God?

¹⁰ He that believeth on the Son of God, hath the witness, within himself: He that doth not believe God, false, hath made him,––because he hath not believed on the witness which, God, hath witnessed, concerning his Son––

¹³ These things, have I written unto you––in order that ye may know that ye have, Life Age–abiding––unto you who believe on the name of the Son of God.

²⁰ We know, moreover, that, the Son of God, hath come, and hath given us insight, so that we are getting to understand, him that is Real,––and we are in him that is Real, in his Son Jesus Christ. This, is the Real God, and life age–abiding.

⁹ I wrote something unto the assembly; but, he who is fond of taking the first place among them––Diotrephes, doth not make us welcome.

¹⁷ Because thou sayest, Rich, am I, and have become enriched, and, of nothing, have I need, and knowest not that, thou, art the wretched one, and pitiable, and destitute, and blind, and naked, ¹⁸ I counsel thee to buy of me, gold refined by fire, that thou mayest become rich,––and white raiment, that thou mayest array thyself, and, the shame of thy nakedness, may not be made manifest,––and eye–salve, to anoint thine eyes, that thou mayest see.

⁹ and they sing a new song, saying––Worthy, art thou, to take the scroll and to open the seals thereof; because thou wast slain, and didst redeem unto God by thy blood [men] out of every tribe, and tongue, and people, and nation, ¹⁰ And didst make them, unto our God, a kingdom and priests,––and they reign on the earth. ¹¹ And I saw, and heard a voice of many messengers, round about the throne and the living creatures and the elders,––and the number of them was myriads of myriads and thousands of thousands–– ¹² saying with a loud voice––Worthy, is the Lamb that hath been slain, to receive the power, and riches, and wisdom, and might, and honour, and glory, and blessing. ¹³ And, every created thing which was in heaven, and upon the earth, and under the earth, and upon the sea, and, all the things in them, heard I, saying––Unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb, be the blessing, and the honour, and the glory, and the dominion, unto the ages of ages! ¹⁴ And the four living creatures continued saying––Amen! And, the elders, fell down and did homage.

¹⁷ [and] that no one should be able to buy or to sell, save he that hath the mark, the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

¹⁸ And there came to be lightnings, and voices, and thunders; and, a great earthquake, took place,––such as had never taken place since men came to be on the earth,––such a mighty earthquake, so great;

⁸ But, as for the timid, and disbelieving, and abominable, and murderers, and fornicators, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all the false, their part, is in the lake that burneth with fire and brimstone,––which is the second death.

²³ And, the city, hath no need of the sun, nor of the moon, that they should shine therein; for, the glory of God, illumined it, and, the lamp thereof, was the Lamb.
