¹² Ye shall not say––A confederacy! of everything of which this people, may say, A confederacy! And, their fear, shall ye not fear or regard as awful:

¹ Thou shalt say, therefore, in that day, I will praise thee, O Yahweh! Though thou hast been angry with me, Thine anger turneth back, And thou dost comfort me. ² Lo, GOD, is my salvation! I will trust, and not dread,––For, my might and melody, is Yah, Yahweh, And he hath become mine, by salvation. ³ Therefore shall ye draw water, with rejoicing,––out of the fountains of salvation.

¹⁰ For, the stars of the heavens, and their constellations, shall not flash forth their light,––Obscured, shall be, the sun, in his, going forth, And, the moon, shall not shed her light.

¹³ For this cause, the heavens, will I disturb, And, the earth, shall tremble, out of her place,––In the wrath of Yahweh of hosts, And in the day of the glow of his anger. ¹⁴ And it shall be––Like a gazelle that is chased, And like a sheep with none, to lift it up,––Each, to his own people, will they turn, And, each, to his own land, will they flee:

² And I will stir up, Egyptians, against, Egyptians, And they shall fight––Every one against his brother, and, Every one against his neighbour,––City against city, and, Kingdom against kingdom.

⁴ For this cause, I said––Look away from me, Bitterly, will I weep,––Do not press to comfort me, For the ruin of the daughter of my people. ⁵ For, a day of confusion and downtreading and perplexity, pertaineth to My Lord Yahweh of hosts, in the valley of vision, an undermining of walls, and a crying for help to the mountain.

¹⁷ Terror and pit, and snare,––are upon thee, O inhabitant of the earth! ¹⁸ So shall it be––He that fleeth from the sound of the terror, shall fall into the pit, And, he that getteth up out of the midst of the pit, shall be captured in the snare,––For, the windows on high, have opened, And shaken, are the foundations of earth.

²³ Then shall blush, the silvery moon, Then turn pale, the glowing sun,––Because Yahweh of hosts, hath become king, In Mount Zion, And in Jerusalem, And before his Elders, in glory.

⁸ Having swallowed up death itself victoriously, My Lord, Yahweh, will wipe away, tears from off all faces,––And, the reproach of his own people, will he remove from off all the earth, For, Yahweh, hath spoken.
⁹ So shall it be said, in that day, Lo! our God, is this! We waited for him, that he might save us,––This, is Yahweh! We waited for him, Let us exult and rejoice, in his salvation.

¹ Alas! for the proud crown of the drunkards of Ephraim, And for his fading wreath of majestic beauty,––Which is on the head of the fertile valley, of them who are overcome with wine. ² Lo! My Lord hath one who is, strong and bold, Like a storm of hail, a destroying tempest, Like a storm of mighty waters overflowing, Hath he thrust it down to the earth with force: ³ With the feet, shall be trodden down, the proud crown of the drunkards of Ephraim!

⁷ But, as for these, With wine, do they reel, and, With strong drink, do they stagger,––Priest and prophet, reel with strong drink, They are swallowed up through wine, They stagger through strong drink, They reel in prophetic vision, They totter in pronouncing judgment.

⁸ For, a day of avenging, hath Yahweh,––A year of requitals, for the quarrel of Zion.

⁸ The grass, hath withered, The flower, hath faded,––But, the word of our God, shall stand unto times age–abiding!

⁶ Lift up––to the heavens––your eyes, And look around to the earth beneath, Though, the heavens, like smoke, should have vanished, And, the earth, like a garment, should fall to pieces, And, her inhabitants, in like manner, should die, Yet, my salvation, unto times age–abiding, shall continue, And, my righteousness, shall not be broken down.

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? ¹³ That thou hast forgotten Yahweh thy maker, Who stretched out the heavens And founded the earth? That thou hast dreaded continually, all the day, by reason of the fury of the oppressor, in that he was ready to destroy? Where, then, is the fury of the oppressor?

¹⁵ But, I––Yahweh, am thy God, Who threw into commotion the sea, And the waves thereof roared,––Yahweh of hosts, is his name.

¹⁰ His watchmen, are blind, None of them, know, All of them, are dumb dogs, they cannot bark,––Dreaming, sleeping, loving to slumber. ¹¹ And, the dogs, are greedy, they know not to be satisfied, Yea, they, are shepherds, who know not to discern,––All of them, unto their own way, have turned, Every man to his unjust gain, on every hand: ¹² Come ye! I will fetch wine, Let us fill ourselves with strong drink,––And, like this day, shall, tomorrow, be––Great beyond measure!

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.

² To proclaim––The year of acceptance of Yahweh, and, The day of avenging of our God: To comfort all who are mourning;

⁴ For, a day of avenging, was in my heart, And, the year of my redeemed, had come.

¹⁸ For a short time only, did thy holy, people hold possession,––Our adversaries, trod down thy sanctuary!

¹⁰ Thy holy, cities, have become a wilderness,––Zion, a wilderness, hath become, Jerusalem, a desolation! ¹¹ Our holy, and our beautiful, house, Where our fathers praised, thee, Hath become a conflagration,––And, all our delightful, places, are in ruins!

¹² Therefore will I destine you, to the sword, And, ye all, to the slaughter, shall bow down. Because I called, and ye answered not, I spake, and ye hearkened not,––But did that which was wicked in mine eyes, And, of that wherein I delighted not, ye made choice, ¹³ Therefore, Thus, saith My Lord, Yahweh,––Lo! my servants, shall eat, but, ye, shall be famished, Lo! my servants, shall drink, but, ye, shall be thirsty,––Lo! my servants, shall rejoice, but, ye, shall turn pale; ¹⁴ Lo! my servants, shall shout in triumph for mirth of heart, But, ye, shall make outcry, for pain of heart, And, for a breaking of spirit, shall ye howl. ¹⁵ So shall ye leave your name for an oath, to my chosen ones,––So then My Lord Yahweh, will slay thee,––And, his servants, will he call by another name: ¹⁶ So that, he who blesseth himself in the earth, Will bless himself in the God of faithfulness, And, he who sweareth in the earth, Will swear by the God of faithfulness––Because the former troubles, have been forgotten, and, Because they are hid from mine eyes.

¹² For, thus, saith Yahweh,––Behold me! extending unto her, like a river, prosperity, And, as a torrent overflowing, the glory of the nations, That ye may draw it forth––Upon the side, shall ye be carried, and, Upon the knees, shall ye be caressed:

¹⁹ Then will I set, among them, a sign, And will send, of them, such as have escaped, unto the nations––Tarshish, Pul, and Lud, that draw the bow, Tubal and Javan,––The Coastlands that are afar off, Who have not heard my fame, Nor seen my glory, And they shall tell my glory throughout the nations.

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.

¹⁹ My bowels! My bowels! I am pained in the walls of my heart, My heart beateth aloud to me, I cannot be still! For, the sound of a horn, hast thou heard, O my soul, The loud shout of war! ²⁰ Breach upon breach, they cry, For, ruined, is all the land,––Suddenly, are ruined my tents, In a moment, my curtains!

²³ I beheld, The earth, and lo! it was waste and wild,––The heavens also, and their light was, not:

¹ Take your goods into safety, ye sons of Benjamin, out of the midst of Jerusalem, And, in Tekoa, blow ye a horn, And, on Beth–haccherem, raise a fire–signal,––For, calamity, hath looked out from the North, Even a great destruction.

¹¹ A den of robbers, hath this house, on which my Name hath been called, become, in your own eyes? I, also,––lo! I have seen it, Declareth Yahweh. ¹² For go, I pray you, unto my place which was in Shiloh, Where I made my Name to dwell, at first,––And see what I did to it, because of the wickedness of my people Israel! ¹³ Now, therefore––Because ye have done all these deeds, Declareth Yahweh,––And though, I, spake unto you, betimes, speaking, Yet ye hearkened not, And though I cried unto you, Yet ye answered not, ¹⁴ Therefore will I do to the house, Whereon my Name hath been called, Wherein, ye, are trusting, Even to the place which I gave to you and to your fathers,––Just as I did unto Shiloh;

⁴ Every one, of his neighbour, beware ye, And, in no brother, may ye trust,––For, every brother, supplanteth! And, every neighbour, as a tale–bearer, goeth about;

⁶ For, even thy brethren and the house of thy father, Even they! have betrayed thee, Even they, have cried after thee, with full voice,––Do not trust in them, though they speak unto thee, fair words.

⁶ Then I will make this house like Shiloh,––And, this city, will I make a contempt, to all the nations of the earth.

⁹ Why, hast thou prophesied in the name of Yahweh, saying, Like Shiloh, shall this house become, And, this city, shall be desolate, without inhabitant? And all the people, were gathered together, unto Jeremiah, in the house of Yahweh.

¹⁸ Micah the Morashtite, was prophesying, in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah,––and he spake unto all the people of Judah, saying, Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts––Zion, as a field, shall be plowed, And, Jerusalem, into heaps of ruins, shall be turned, And, the mountain of the house, [be] like mounds in a jungle,

⁸ For, Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts, God of Israel, Let not your prophets that are in your midst, nor your diviners, beguile, you,––Neither hearken ye unto your dreams, which ye, are dreaming;

¹¹ And so it came to pass, when Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon came up into the land, that we said,––Let us, even enter, Jerusalem, because of the force of the Chaldeans and because of the force of the Syrians: So have we dwelt in Jerusalem.

¹² then went forth Jeremiah out of Jerusalem, to go into the land of Benjamin,––to receive a portion from thence in the midst of the people.

⁴³ Terror, and pit, and snare, are upon thee, O inhabitant of Moab, Declareth Yahweh: ⁴⁴ He that fleeth from the face of the terror, Shall fall into the pit, And, he that getteth up out of the pit, Shall be captured by the snare,––For I will bring against her––against Moab, The year of their visitation, Declareth Yahweh.

⁶ Flee out of the midst of Babylon, And deliver ye every man his own life, Be not cut off in her punishment,––For it is Yahweh’s, time of avenging, A recompense, is he, repaying unto her.

¹⁵ My Lord, hath flouted at all my magnates, in my midst, He hath called against me a host, to crush my young men,––A winepress, hath My Lord trodden, to the virgin, the daughter of Judah.

⁶ Thus hath he destroyed, like a garden, his pavilion, hath laid waste his place of assembly,––Yahweh, hath caused to be forgotten, in Zion, the appointed assembly and the sabbath, and hath spurned, in the indignation of his anger, the king and the priest. ⁷ My Lord hath rejected his altar, hath abhorred his sanctuary, hath delivered, into the hand of the foe, the walls of her castles,––A voice, have they uttered in the house of Yahweh, as on the day of an appointed assembly. ⁸ Yahweh hath devised to lay in ruins, the wall of the daughter of Zion, he hath stretched out a line, he hath not turned back his hand from swallowing up,––Thus hath he caused to mourn––rampart and wall, together, have they languished!

¹ How is dimmed the gold! changed the most fine gold! Poured out are the stones of the sanctuary, at the top of all the streets.

¹⁰ The hands of compassionate women, have cooked their own children,––they have served as nourishment to them, in the grievous injury of the daughter of my people.

¹⁸ Because of Mount Zion, which is desolate, jackals, have gone prowling therein.

²⁰ When, the beauty of his own ornament, he had, in majesty, placed, Then, the images, of their abominations, Their detestable things, Made they therein,––For this cause, have I delivered it up to them for removal; ²¹ Yea I will deliver it, Into the hand of foreigners, for a prey, And to the lawless ones of the earth, for a spoil, And they will profane it; ²² And I will turn away my face from them, And they will profane my cherished place,––Yea there will enter it violent men, Who will profane it.

⁷ And, when I quench thee, I will cover the heavens, And obscure their stars,––The sun––with a cloud, will I cover, And, the moon, shall not shed her light; ⁸ As for all the light–bearers in the heavens, I will obscure them over thee,––And will stretch out darkness over thy land, Declareth My Lord, Yahweh.

¹³ I continued looking in the visions of the night, when lo! with the clouds of the heavens, one like a son of man, was coming,––and, unto the Ancient of days, he approached, and, before him, they brought him near;

¹³ Then heard I a certain holy one, speaking,––and another holy one said to that certain holy one who was speaking––How long is the vision of the continual [ascending–sacrifice] as taken away, and the transgression which astoundeth, for both sanctuary and host to be given over to be trampled underfoot?

²⁴ Seventy weeks, have been divided concerning thy people and concerning thy holy city––to put an end to the transgression, and fill up the measure of sin, and put a propitiatory–covering over iniquity, and bring in the righteousness of ages, and affix a seal the vision and prophecy, and anoint the holy of holies. ²⁵ Thou must know, then, and understand: From the going forth of the word to restore and to build Jerusalem––unto the Anointed One, the Prince, [shall be] seven weeks, and sixty–two weeks,––the broadway and the wall, shall again be built, even in the end of the times. ²⁶ And, after the sixty–two weeks, shall the Anointed One, be cut off, and have, nothing,––and, the city and the sanctuary, will one destroy with the Prince, and so will his own end come with an overwhelming flood, howbeit, up to the full end of the war, are decreed astounding things. ²⁷ And he will confirm a covenant to the many, for one week,––but, in the middle of the week, will cause sacrifice and present to cease, and, in his stead, [shall be] the horrid abomination that astoundeth, even till, a full end, and that a decreed one, shall be poured out on him that astoundeth.

²⁷ And he will confirm a covenant to the many, for one week,––but, in the middle of the week, will cause sacrifice and present to cease, and, in his stead, [shall be] the horrid abomination that astoundeth, even till, a full end, and that a decreed one, shall be poured out on him that astoundeth.

¹ And, at that time, will Michael, the great ruler who standeth for the sons of thy people, make a stand, and there will be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation, up to that time,––and, at that time, shall thy people, be delivered, every one found written in the book;

⁶ And one said to the man clothed with linen, who was upon the waters of the river, How long shall be the end of the wonders? ⁷ And I heard the man clothed with linen who was upon the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left unto the heavens, and sware by him that liveth unto times age–abiding,––For a set time and times and a half, and, when the dispersion of a part of the holy people, is brought to an end, then shall come to an end all these things. ⁸ And, I, heard, but could not understand,––so I said, O my lord! what shall be the issue of these things?

¹¹ Unchastity, and wine, and new wine, take away the heart.

⁷ Come are the days of visitation, come are the days of recompense, Let Israel know! The prophet is foolish, the man of the spirit doth rave, because of the greatness of thine iniquity, therefore great is the prosecution.

³⁰ And I will set forth wonders in the heavens, and in the earth,––blood, and fire, and columns of smoke: ³¹ The sun, shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood,––before the coming of the great and awful day of Yahweh.

⁹ Yea it shall come to pass, in that day, Declareth My Lord, Yahweh, that I will cause the sun to go in at high noon,––and will darken the earth on a day of brightness.! ¹⁰ So will I turn your festivals into mourning, and all your songs into a dirge, and I will bring up––on all loins––sackcloth, and upon every head––baldness,––and I will make it like the mourning for an only one, even the afterpart thereof, as a day of bitterness.

¹² Wherefore, for your sake, Zion, as a field, shall be ploughed, and, Jerusalem, unto heaps of ruins, shall be turned,––and, the mountain of the house, shall [be] like mounds in a jungle.

⁴ The best of them, is as a sharp briar, and, the most upright, worse than a thorn hedge, The day of thy watchmen––of thy visitation, hath come, Now, shall be their confusion! ⁵ Do not trust in a friend, do not put confidence in an associate,––from her that lieth in thy bosom, keep thou the doors of thy mouth; ⁶ For, the son, treateth as foolish, the father, and, the daughter, riseth up against, her mother, the daughter–in–law against her mother–in–law,––The foes of a man, are the men of his own house.

²¹ Speak thou unto Zerubbabel, pasha of Judah, saying,––I am shaking, the heavens and the earth; ²² And I will overturn the throne of kingdoms, and will destroy the strength of the kingdoms of the nations,––and I will overturn the chariots and them who ride therein, and horses and their riders, shall come down, every man by the sword of his brother.

¹ Open, O Lebanon, thy doors,––that a fire, may devour, thy cedar,

¹ Open, O Lebanon, thy doors,––that a fire, may devour, thy cedar, ² Howl, fir–tree, for fallen is the cedar, because, the majestic ones, are spoiled: howl, ye oaks of Bashan, for the inaccessible forest, hath come down. ³ The noise of the howling of the shepherds, for spoiled is their majesty,––The noise of the roaring of the young lions, for spoiled are the proud banks of the Jordan.

¹ Lo! a day, cometh, pertaining to Yahweh,––when apportioned shall be thy spoil in thy midst; ² Yea I will gather together all the nations unto Jerusalem, to battle, and the city, shall be captured, and the houses, plundered, and, the women, ravished,––and half of the city, shall go forth, into exile, but, the remainder of the people, shall not be cut off out of the city.

² Yea I will gather together all the nations unto Jerusalem, to battle, and the city, shall be captured, and the houses, plundered, and, the women, ravished,––and half of the city, shall go forth, into exile, but, the remainder of the people, shall not be cut off out of the city.

² Yea I will gather together all the nations unto Jerusalem, to battle, and the city, shall be captured, and the houses, plundered, and, the women, ravished,––and half of the city, shall go forth, into exile, but, the remainder of the people, shall not be cut off out of the city. ³ Then will Yahweh go forth, and fight against those nations,––just as he did in the day when he fought, in the day of battle; ⁴ Yea his feet, shall stand, in that day, on the Mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the Mount of Olives, shall cleave asunder, from the midst thereof, towards the east and towards the west, an exceeding great valley,––and half of the mountain, shall give way, toward the north, and half of it toward the south.

¹³ And it shall come to pass, in that day, that there shall be a great confusion from Yahweh among them,––and they will lay hold every one upon the hand of his neighbour, and his hand, will rise up, against the hand of his neighbour;

¹¹ For, from the rising of the sun, even unto the going in thereof, great is my Name among the nations, and, in every place, incense, is offered to my Name, and a pure present,––for great is my Name among the nations, saith Yahweh of hosts.

² But who may endure the day of his coming? And who is he that can stand when he appeareth? For he is like a refiner’s fire, and like fullers’ alkali;

¹ For lo! the day, cometh, that burneth as a furnace,––and, all the proud and everyone who worketh lawlessness, shall be, stubble, and the day that cometh, shall consume them utterly, saith Yahweh of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch.

²² But, all this, hath come to pass, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord, through the prophet, saying:

² saying, Repent ye,––for the kingdom of the heavens hath drawn near.

¹⁷ From that time, began Jesus to be making proclamation, and saying,––Repent ye, for the kingdom of the heavens hath drawn near.

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

¹⁸ For, verily, I say unto you, until the heaven and the earth shall pass away, one least letter, or one point, may in nowise pass away from the law, till all be accomplished.

¹⁶ Lo! I, send you forth as sheep amidst wolves; become ye therefore––prudent, as serpents, and simple, as doves. ¹⁷ But beware of men; for they will deliver you up into high–councils, and, in their synagogues, will they scourge you,–– ¹⁸ And, before both governor and kings, shall ye be brought, for my sake––for a witness to them and the nations. ¹⁹ And, when they deliver you up, be not anxious how or what ye shall speak,––for it shall be given you in that hour what ye shall speak;

¹⁹ And, when they deliver you up, be not anxious how or what ye shall speak,––for it shall be given you in that hour what ye shall speak; ²⁰ For it is not, ye, who are speaking, but, the Spirit of your Father, that is speaking in you.

²⁰ For it is not, ye, who are speaking, but, the Spirit of your Father, that is speaking in you. ²¹ And, brother, will deliver up, brother, unto death, and, father, child,––and, children, will rise up, against parents, and will put them to death.

²¹ And, brother, will deliver up, brother, unto death, and, father, child,––and, children, will rise up, against parents, and will put them to death. ²² And ye will be hated by all, because of my name,––but, he that endureth throughout, the same, shall be saved.

²² And ye will be hated by all, because of my name,––but, he that endureth throughout, the same, shall be saved. ²³ And, when they persecute you in this city, flee into another,––for, verily, I say unto you, in nowise shall ye finish the cities of Israel, till, he Son of Man, come. ²⁴ A, disciple, is not above, the teacher, nor, a servant, above, his lord: ²⁵ Sufficient for the disciple, that he become, as his teacher, and, the servant, as, his lord. If, the master of the house, Beelzebul, they called, how much more, the men of his house!

³⁰ But, even the hairs of, your, head, have all been numbered.

²² And, he among the thorns sown, the same, is he that, heareth the word,––and, the anxiety of the age and the deceit of riches, choke up the word, and, unfruitful, it becometh.

¹ And, the Pharisees and Sadducees coming near, putting him to the test, requested him, a sign out of the heaven, to shew unto them. ² But, he, answering said unto them––[When evening cometh ye say, Fair! for fiery is the heaven; ³ And at morn, Today, a storm! for fiery, and yet sad, is the heaven. The face of the heaven indeed, ye learn to distinguish,––but, the signs of the times, ye cannot.] ⁴ A wicked and adulterous generation, a sign, doth seek after, and, a sign, will not be given it,––save the sign of Jonah. And, leaving them behind, he departed.

²⁷ For the Son of Man is destined to be coming, in the glory of his Father, with his messengers,––and, then, will he give back unto each one, according to his practice. ²⁸ Verily, I say unto you––There are some of those, here standing, who, indeed, shall in nowise taste of death, until they see the Son of Man, coming in his kingdom.

²⁸ Verily, I say unto you––There are some of those, here standing, who, indeed, shall in nowise taste of death, until they see the Son of Man, coming in his kingdom.

¹ And, when they drew near unto Jerusalem, and came unto Bethphage, unto the Mount of Olives, then, Jesus sent forth two disciples;

¹⁷ And, leaving them behind, he went forth outside the city into Bethany, and spent the night there.

⁴¹ They say unto him––Miserable men! Miserably, will he destroy them; and will let out, the vineyard, to other husbandmen, who will render unto him the fruits in their seasons.

⁴⁴ [And, he that falleth on this stone, will be sorely bruised; but, on whomsoever it may fall, it will utterly destroy him.]

⁶ And, the rest, securing his servants, ill–treated and slew them.

³⁴ For this cause, lo! I, send unto you, prophets and wise men and scribes,––some from among them, ye will slay and crucify, And some from among them ye will––scourge in your synagogues, and pursue from city to city: ³⁵ That there may come upon you––all righteous blood poured out upon the earth, from the blood of Abel the righteous, unto the blood of Zachariah, son of Barachiah, whom ye murdered between the Temple and the altar. ³⁶ Verily, I say unto you––All these things, will have come, upon this generation.

³⁶ Verily, I say unto you––All these things, will have come, upon this generation.

¹ And, Jesus coming forth, from the temple, was taking his departure, when his disciples came forward to point out to him the buildings of the temple. ² But, he, answering, said unto them––Are ye not beholding all these things? Verily, I say unto you––in no wise, shall there be left here, stone upon stone, which shall not be thrown down.

² But, he, answering, said unto them––Are ye not beholding all these things? Verily, I say unto you––in no wise, shall there be left here, stone upon stone, which shall not be thrown down. ³ And, as he was sitting upon the Mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him, privately, saying––Tell us, when these things shall be,––and what the sign of thy presence, and the conclusion of the age.

³ And, as he was sitting upon the Mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him, privately, saying––Tell us, when these things shall be,––and what the sign of thy presence, and the conclusion of the age.
⁴ And, answering, Jesus said unto them––Be taking heed, lest anyone, deceive, you;

⁴ And, answering, Jesus said unto them––Be taking heed, lest anyone, deceive, you; ⁵ For, many, will come upon my name, saying––I, am the Christ,––and will, deceive many.

⁵ For, many, will come upon my name, saying––I, am the Christ,––and will, deceive many. ⁶ Moreover ye will be sure to be hearing of wars, and rumours of wars: Mind! be not alarmed, for it must needs happen,––but, not yet, is, the end;

⁶ Moreover ye will be sure to be hearing of wars, and rumours of wars: Mind! be not alarmed, for it must needs happen,––but, not yet, is, the end; ⁷ For there will arise––nation against nation, and kingdom against kingdom,––and there will be famines and earthquakes, in places.

⁷ For there will arise––nation against nation, and kingdom against kingdom,––and there will be famines and earthquakes, in places. ⁸ But, all these things, are a beginning of birth–pangs.

⁸ But, all these things, are a beginning of birth–pangs. ⁹ Then, will they deliver you up into tribulation, and will slay you,––and ye will be men hated by all the nations, because of my name

⁹ Then, will they deliver you up into tribulation, and will slay you,––and ye will be men hated by all the nations, because of my name

⁹ Then, will they deliver you up into tribulation, and will slay you,––and ye will be men hated by all the nations, because of my name ¹⁰ And, then, will many be caused to stumble, and, one another, will deliver up, and will hate one another;

¹⁰ And, then, will many be caused to stumble, and, one another, will deliver up, and will hate one another; ¹¹ And, many false prophets, will arise, and deceive, many;

¹¹ And, many false prophets, will arise, and deceive, many; ¹² And, because of lawlessness being brought to the full, the love of the many, will grew cold. ¹³ But, he that hath endured throughout, the same, shall be saved.

¹³ But, he that hath endured throughout, the same, shall be saved. ¹⁴ And this glad message of the kingdom will be proclaimed in all the inhabited earth, for a witness unto all the nations,––and, then, will have come, the end. ¹⁵ Whensoever, therefore, ye shall see the abomination desolation, that was spoken of through Daniel the prophet, standing in a holy place,––he that readeth, let him think,

¹⁵ Whensoever, therefore, ye shall see the abomination desolation, that was spoken of through Daniel the prophet, standing in a holy place,––he that readeth, let him think,

¹⁵ Whensoever, therefore, ye shall see the abomination desolation, that was spoken of through Daniel the prophet, standing in a holy place,––he that readeth, let him think, ¹⁶ Then, they who are in Judaea, let them flee into the mountains;

¹⁶ Then, they who are in Judaea, let them flee into the mountains;

¹⁶ Then, they who are in Judaea, let them flee into the mountains; ¹⁷ And, he that is on the house–top, let him not come down, to take away the things out of his house; ¹⁸ And, he that is in the field, let him not turn back, to take away his mantle. ¹⁹ But alas! for the women with child, and for them that are giving suck, in those days;

¹⁹ But alas! for the women with child, and for them that are giving suck, in those days; ²⁰ But be praying that your flight, may not happen in winter, nor on sabbath; ²¹ For there will be then, Great tribulation, such as hath not happened, from the beginning of the world, until the present time, neither in any wise shall happen. ²² And, except those days had been shortened, no flesh had been saved; but, for the sake of the chosen, those days shall be shortened. ²³ Then, if any, unto you, say––Lo! here, is the Christ, or, there, Do not believe it;

²³ Then, if any, unto you, say––Lo! here, is the Christ, or, there, Do not believe it; ²⁴ For there will arise, false Christs, and false prophets,––and they will show great signs and wonders, so that, if possible, even the chosen, should be deceived:––

²⁴ For there will arise, false Christs, and false prophets,––and they will show great signs and wonders, so that, if possible, even the chosen, should be deceived:–– ²⁵ Lo! I have foretold you.

²⁵ Lo!

⁴³ But there is, one thing, ye know––That, if the householder, had known, in what watch, the thief was coming, he would have been on the alert, and not have suffered his house to be dug through. ⁴⁴ Wherefore, ye also, be getting ready, because, in what hour ye are, not thinking, The Son of Man doth come.

³⁰ And, having sung praise, they went forth unto the Mount of Olives.

⁴¹ Be watching and praying, that ye may not enter into temptation: The spirit, indeed, is, eager, but, the flesh, weak.

⁵⁵ In that hour, said Jesus unto the multitudes: As against a robber, came ye forth, with swords and clubs, to arrest me? Daily in the temple, used I to sit teaching, and ye secured me not;

⁶⁴ Jesus saith unto him: Thou, hast said; Moreover, I say unto you––Hereafter, ye will see the Son of Man, sitting on the right hand of power, and coming upon the clouds of heaven.

⁶ But, the High–priests, taking the pieces of silver, said––It is not allowed, to cast them into the treasury; since, a price of blood, they are.

⁴⁵ Now, from the sixth hour, darkness, came upon all the land––until the ninth hour.

¹⁹ and, the anxieties of the age, and the deceit of wealth, and the covetings about the remaining things, entering in, choke up the word, and, unfruitful, it becometh;

¹¹ But, ye, say––If a man shall say to his father or his mother, Korban! that is, A gift, whatsoever, out of me, thou mightest be profited, ¹² no longer, do ye suffer him to do, aught, for his father or his mother,–– ¹³ cancelling the word of God by your tradition which ye have delivered.

¹² And, on the morrow, when they came forth from Bethany, he hungered;

¹⁹ And, as soon as it became late, they were going forth outside the city.

⁴¹ And, taking his seat over against the treasury, he was observing how, the multitude, was casting in copper into the treasury, and, man rich, were casting in, much. ⁴² And there came, one destitute, widow, and cast in two mites, which are, a farthing.

⁴² And there came, one destitute, widow, and cast in two mites, which are, a farthing. ⁴³ And, calling near his disciples, he said to them––Verily, I say unto you, this destitute widow, more than they all, hath cast in, of those casting into the treasury; ⁴⁴ For, they all, out of their surplus, cast in, but, she, out of her deficiency, all, as much as she had, cast in,––the whole of her living.

¹ And, as he was going forth out of the temple, one of his disciples saith unto him––Teacher! see what manner of stones, and what manner of buildings! ² And, Jesus, said unto him––Art thou beholding these great buildings? In nowise, shall there be left here, stone upon stone, which shall, in any wise, not be thrown down.

³³ And, when it was the sixth hour, darkness, came on all the land––until the ninth hour;

²⁵ And, of a truth, I say unto you––Many widows, were in the days of Elijah, in Israel, when the heaven was shut up three years and six months, when there came a great famine upon all the land;

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:

¹⁴ And, that which in among the thorns fell, these, are they who have heard; and, by anxieties and wealth and pleasures of life being borne along, are choked up, and bear not to perfection. ¹⁵ But, that in the good ground, these, are they who, indeed, in a noble and good heart having heard the word, hold fast, and bear fruit with endurance.

⁴³ And, a woman, with a flow of blood of twelve years standing, who indeed could, from no one, be cured,

²⁷ But I tell you of a truth––There, are, some of those, here, standing, who shall in nowise taste of death, until they see the kingdom of God.

⁴¹ But the Lord, answering, said to her––Martha! Martha! thou art anxious and troubled about many things:

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.

⁷ But, even the hairs of your head, have all been numbered: Be not afraid: many sparrows, ye excel.

¹¹ But, whensoever they shall be bringing you in before the synagogues, and the rulers, and the authorities, do not be anxious how, [or what] ye shall answer, or what ye shall say; ¹² For, the Holy Spirit, shall teach you, in that very hour, what ye ought to say.

³⁷ Happy those servants, whom the lord, when he cometh, shall find watching!

⁴⁰ Ye, therefore, be getting ready, because, in what hour ye are not thinking, The Son of man cometh!

⁴⁴ Of a truth, I say unto you––Over all his possessions, will he appoint him. ⁴⁵ But, if that servant should say in his heart––My lord delayeth to come! and should begin to be striking the youths and the maidens,––to be eating also, and drinking, and making himself drunk, ⁴⁶ The lord of that servant, will have come––on a day when he is not expecting, and in an hour when he is not taking note,––and will cut him asunder, and, his part, with the unfaithful, will appoint.

⁵¹ Suppose ye, that, peace, I am come to give in the earth? Nay, I tell you, but rather division. ⁵² For there shall be, henceforth, five in one house, divided,––three against two, and two against three: ⁵³ There shall be divided––Father against son, and son against father, mother against daughter, and daughter against the mother,––mother–in–law against her daughter–in–law, and daughter–in–law against the mother–in–law.

⁵³ There shall be divided––Father against son, and son against father, mother against daughter, and daughter against the mother,––mother–in–law against her daughter–in–law, and daughter–in–law against the mother–in–law.
⁵⁴ And he went on to say, even unto the multitudes,––Whensoever ye see a cloud springing up from the west, straightway, ye are saying––A thunderstorm is coming! and it happeneth thus. ⁵⁵ And, whensoever a south wind, blowing, ye say––A scorching heat, will there be! and it cometh to pass. ⁵⁶ Hypocrites! the face of the earth and of the heaven, ye know how to scan; but, this season, how know ye not to scan; ⁵⁷ Why, moreover, even from yourselves, judge ye not what is just?

⁵⁷ Why, moreover, even from yourselves, judge ye not what is just?

¹² And the younger of them said unto the father––Father! give me the share that falleth to me, of what there is. And, he, divided unto them the living.

³ Be taking heed to yourselves,––If thy brother sin, rebuke him, and, if he repent, forgive him;

²³ And they will say unto you, Lo there! or, Lo here! Do not [depart, and do not] pursue.

³¹ In that day, he that shall be on the housetop, and his utensils in the house, let him not go down, to take them away! And, he that is in the field, in like manner, let him not turn unto the things behind, ³² Bear in mind the wife of Lot! Whosoever shall seek to make his life his own, shall lose it, ³³ But, whosoever shall lose it, shall give it a living birth.

³⁷ And, answering, they say unto him––Where, Lord? And, he, said unto them––Where the body is, there, the vultures also, will be gathered together.

¹ And he was speaking a parable unto them, as to its being needful for them always to pray, and not be faint–hearted;

⁷ And shall, God, in any wise not execute the vindication of his chosen ones, who are crying out to him day and night, although he beareth long with regard to them?

²⁷ But, these mine enemies who desired not that I should be made king over them, bring ye here, and slay them outright before me.

³⁷ And, when he was drawing near, already, unto the descent of the Mount of Olives, one–and–all the throng of the disciples began joyfully to be praising God with a loud voice, concerning all the mighty works which they had seen;

⁴³ Because days will have come upon thee, that thine enemies will throw around a rampart against thee, and enclose thee; and hem thee in from every side,–– ⁴⁴ And will level thee with the ground, and thy children within thee, and will not leave, stone on stone, within thee: because thou didst not get to know the season of thy visitation. ⁴⁵ And, entering into the temple, he began to be casting out them who were selling; ⁴⁶ saying unto them––It is written, And, my house, shall be, a house of prayer; but, ye, have made, it, a den of robbers. ⁴⁷ And he was teaching day by day in the temple; but, the High–priests and the Scribes, also the chiefs of the people, were seeking to destroy him,–– ⁴⁸ and could not find what they might do, for, the people, one and all, were hanging upon him, as they hearkened.

³⁵ But, they who have been accounted worthy, that age, to obtain, and the resurrection that is from among the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage;

⁷ And they questioned him, saying––Teacher! when, therefore, will these things be? And, what the sign, when these things shall be about to come to pass? ⁸ And, he, said––Be taking heed ye be not deceived; for, many, will come upon my name, saying––I, am he,––and––The season, hath drawn near! Do not go after them.

¹⁸ And, a hair of your head, in nowise shall perish,–– ¹⁹ By your endurance, shall ye gain your lives for a possession.
²⁰ But whensoever ye shall see Jerusalem, encompassed by armies, then, know, that her desolation hath drawn near. ²¹ Then they who are in Judaea, let them flee into the mountains, and they who are in her midst, let them go forth,––and they who are in the fields, let them not enter into her;

²⁵ And there will he signs in sun, and moon, and stars, and, on the earth, anguish of nations in embarrassment––sea and surge resounding,–– ²⁶ Men fainting, from fear and expectation of the things overtaking the inhabited earth. For, the powers of the heavens, will be shaken. ²⁷ And, then, will they see the Son of Man––coming in a cloud, with great power and glory.

²⁷ And, then, will they see the Son of Man––coming in a cloud, with great power and glory. ²⁸ And, when these things are beginning to come to pass, unbend and lift up your heads, because that, your redemption, is drawing near.

²⁸ And, when these things are beginning to come to pass, unbend and lift up your heads, because that, your redemption, is drawing near.

³² Verily, I say unto you––In nowise shall this generation pass away, until, all things, shall happen:

³⁹ And going out, he went, according to his custom, unto the Mount of Olives; and the disciples [also] followed him.

²⁹ For lo! days are coming, in which they will say––Happy the barren! even the wombs that never bare, and the breasts that never gave suck.

⁴⁵ Then, opened he their mind, to understand the Scriptures;

²⁰ The Jews, therefore, said––In forty and six years, was this shrine built. And, thou, in three days, wilt raise it!

⁴³ I, have come, in the name of my Father,––and ye are not receiving me: If, another, shall come in his own name, him, ye will receive!

⁷ The world cannot hate you; but, me, it hateth, because, I, bear witness concerning it, that, the works thereof, are, wicked.

¹ but, Jesus, went unto the Mount of Olives. ² And, early in the morning, again, came he into the temple, [and all the people were coming unto him; and, sitting down, he began to teach them.]

²⁰ These sayings, spake he in the treasury, teaching in the temple, and yet, no one, seized him, because, not yet, had come his hour.

²⁴ Therefore said I unto you, Ye shall die in your sins: For, if ye believe not that, I, am he, ye shall die in your sins.

¹ Jesus, therefore, six days before the passover, came unto Bethany, where Lazarus was, whom Jesus had raised from among the dead.

¹⁹ If, of the world, ye had been, the world, of its own, had been fond; but, because, of the world, ye are not, on the contrary, I, chose you out of the world, therefore, the world, doth hate you. ²⁰ Remember the word which, I, spake unto you: A servant is not greater than his lord. If, me, they persecuted, you too, will they persecute,––If, my word, they kept, your own also, will they keep. ²¹ But, all these things, will they do unto you, on account of my name, because they know not him that sent me.

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! ³ And, these things, will they do, because they got to know, neither the Father nor me.

¹⁴ I, have given them thy word, and, the world, hated them, because they are not of the world––even as, I, am not of the world.

²¹ Peter, therefore, seeing, this one, saith unto Jesus––Lord! and, this one, what? ²² Jesus saith unto him––If I will that, he, remain until I come, what is that to thee? Thou, be following me.

⁶ They, therefore, having come together, began to question him, saying––Lord! art thou at this time duly establishing the kingdom unto Israel? ⁷ He said unto them––It is not yours to get to know times or seasons which the Father hath put in his own authority;

⁹ And having said these things, as they were beholding, he was lifted up, and a cloud caught him away from their eyes. ¹⁰ And, while they were looking steadfastly into heaven as he was going his way, then lo! two men had taken their stand beside them, in white garments,–– ¹¹ Who also said––Men of Galilee! why stand ye looking into heaven? This Jesus who hath been taken up from you into heaven, shall so come, in like manner as ye yourselves have gazed upon him going into heaven.
¹² Then returned they into Jerusalem, from a mountain called Olivet, which is nigh unto Jerusalem a Sabbath day’s journey.

⁴ And they were all filled with Holy Spirit, and began to be speaking with other kinds of tongues just as the Spirit was giving unto them to be sounding forth.

¹⁹ And I will set forth wonders in the heaven above, and signs upon the earth beneath,––blood and fire and vapour of smoke:

¹⁹ And I will set forth wonders in the heaven above, and signs upon the earth beneath,––blood and fire and vapour of smoke: ²⁰ The sun, shall be turned into darkness and, the moon, into blood,––before the coming of the day of the Lord, the great and manifest [day];

⁴⁴ And, all who believed, with one accord, began to hold all things common; ⁴⁵ and, their possessions and goods, were they selling and distributing them unto all, in so far as anyone had need.

³ And they thrust on them their hands, and put them in custody for the morrow, for it was evening, already. ⁴ Howbeit, many of them that heard the word, believed; and the number of the men became about five thousand.
⁵ And it came to pass, upon the morrow, that there were gathered together of them, the rulers and the elders and the scribes, in Jerusalem; ⁶ Also Annas, the high–priest, and Caiaphas, and John, and Alexander, and as many as were of high–priestly descent; –– ⁷ And, setting them in the midst, they began to enquire––In what manner of power, or in what manner of name, did, ye, do this? ⁸ Then Peter, filled with Holy Spirit, said unto them––Ye rulers of the people, and elders! ⁹ If, we, this day, are to be examined for doing good to a sick man,––in whom, this, man hath been made well, ¹⁰ Be it known unto you all, and unto all the people of Israel: that, in the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene,––whom, ye, crucified, whom, God, raised from among the dead, in him, doth, this man stand by, in your presence, whole. ¹¹ This, is the stone, set at nought by you the builders, which became the head of the corner; ¹² And there is in no one else, salvation, for, neither is there any other name, under heaven, which hath been set forth among men, in which we must needs be saved. ¹³ And, looking at Peter’s boldness of speech, and John’s, and having discovered that they were unlettered and obscure men, they began to marvel, recognising them also, that they had been with Jesus;

²⁷ For they were gathered together, of a truth, in this city, against thy holy servant Jesus, whom thou hadst anointed,––both Herod, and Pontius Pilate, with them of the nations, and peoples of Israel; ––

³¹ And, when they had made supplication, the place was shaken in which they were gathered together, and they were filled, one and all, with the Holy Spirit, and began speaking the word of God with freedom of utterance.
³² And, the throng of them that believed, had one heart and soul, and not so much as one was saying that, aught of his goods, was, his own, but they had all things common. ³³ And, with great power, were the apostles giving forth their witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus; great favour also was upon them all. ³⁴ For there was not so much as anyone, lacking, among them; for, as many as were possessors of lands or houses, selling them, were bringing the prices of the things that were being sold,

¹⁷ But the High–priest, arising, and all who were with him,––being the sect of the Sadducees,––were filled with jealousy, ¹⁸ And thrust their hands upon the Apostles, and put them in a public ward. ¹⁹ But, a messenger of the Lord, by night, opened the doors of the prison; and, leading them out, said––

³⁶ For, before these days, there rose up one Theudas, affirming, himself, to be somebody,––unto whom was inclined a number of men, about four hundred; who was slain, and, all as many as had been trusting in him, were disbanded, and came to nothing. ³⁷ After him, rose up Judas the Galilaean, in the days of the enrolling, and drew a people into revolt after him; and, he, perished, and, all, as many as had trusted in him, were scattered.

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.

¹⁰ And they could not withstand the wisdom and the Spirit with which he was speaking,

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;

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.

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. ¹⁵ And, looking steadfastly at him, all they who were sitting in the high–council, saw his face, as if the face of a messenger;

⁵⁷ And, crying out with a loud voice, they held their ears, and rushed with one accord upon him; ⁵⁸ And, thrusting him forth outside the city, proceeded to stone him. And, the witnesses, laid their garments at the feet of a young man named Saul. ⁵⁹ And they stoned Stephen, as he was invoking and saying––Lord Jesus! give welcome unto my spirit.

⁵⁹ And they stoned Stephen, as he was invoking and saying––Lord Jesus! give welcome unto my spirit. ⁶⁰ And, kneeling down, he cried out with a loud voice––Lord! do not charge against them, this sin. And, having said this, he fell asleep.

³ But, Saul, went on to lay waste the assembly, along the houses, going in, and, dragging off both men and women, was

⁹ But, a certain man named Simon, was already in the city, practising magical arts, and astonishing the nation of Samaria,––saying that himself was someone great: ¹⁰ Unto whom all were giving heed, from small even to great, saying––This, is the Power of God, which is called Great.

⁴ And, falling unto the earth, he heard a voice saying unto him––Saul! Saul! why, me, art thou persecuting?

¹⁶ For, I, will let him understand how many things he must needs, for my name, suffer.

² Devout, and fearing God with all his house, doing many alms unto the people, and supplicating God continually,

³⁴ And Peter, opening his mouth, said––Of a truth, I find that God is no respecter of persons;

²⁸ And one from among them, by name Agabus, rising up, gave a sign, through means of the Spirit, that, a great famine, was coming over all the inhabited earth; which, indeed, came to pass under Claudius.

¹ Now, in the course of that season, Herod the king thrust forth his hands to harm some of them of the assembly,–– ² And slew James the brother of John with a sword;

² And slew James the brother of John with a sword; ³ And, seeing that it was acceptable unto the Jews, he went on to apprehend Peter also (now they were the days of unleavened bread), –– ⁴ Whom also having seized, he put into prison, delivering him up unto four quaternions of soldiers, to be guarding him,––intending, after the passover, to bring him up unto the people.

²² And the multitude rose up together against them, and, the magistrates, rending off them their mantles, were giving orders to beat them with rods; ²³ and, laying upon them many stripes, they thrust them into prison, charging the prison–keeper, safely, to be keeping them: ²⁴ who, a charge like this receiving, thrust them into the inner prison, and, their feet, made he fast in the stocks.
²⁵ And, at midnight, Paul and Silas, being at prayer, began singing praise unto God; and the prisoners unto them, did hearken. ²⁶ And, suddenly, a great earthquake took place,––so that the foundations of the prison were shaken, and all the doors were [instantly] set open, and the bonds of all were unfastened.

²⁶ he made also, of one, every nation of men to dwell upon all the face of the earth,––marking out fitting opportunities, and the bounds of their dwelling place,

³⁰ And the whole city was set in motion, and there took place a running together of the people, and, laying hold of Paul, they proceeded to drag him outside the temple, and, straightway, the doors were made fast. ³¹ When, also, they were seeking to slay him, there was carried up information, unto the captain of the band, that all Jerusalem was in confusion:––

³⁰ But, on the morrow, being minded to get to know the certainty as to why he was being accused by the Jews, he released him, and ordered the High–priests and all the High–council to come together; and, bringing down Paul, set him before them.

¹ And, after five days, came down the High–priest Ananias, with certain Elders and a certain orator Tertullus, and they informed the governor against Paul. ² And, when he was called, Tertullus began to make accusation, saying––Seeing that, great peace, we are obtaining through thee, and that, reforms, are being brought about for this nation through thy forethought, ³ both in all ways and in all places, are we accepting it, most excellent Felix, with all thankfulness. ⁴ But, lest I too long detain thee, I beseech thee to hear us concisely in thy considerateness. ⁵ For, finding this man a pest, and moving sedition with all the Jews that are throughout the inhabited earth, a leader also of the sect of the Nazarenes,–– ⁶ who also attempted to desecrate even, the temple, whom we also seized, ⁷ <> ⁸ from whom thou shall be able, thyself, by making examination concerning all these things, to ascertain the things of which, we, are accusing him. ⁹ Moreover, the Jews also were joining in the attack, saying that, these things, were, so.

²⁵ And, as he was reasoning of righteousness, and self–control, and the judgment to come, Felix, becoming greatly afraid, answered––For the present, be going thy way, and, when I find an opportunity, I will send for thee,––

¹ Festus, therefore, having come upon the province, after three days, went up unto Jerusalem from Caesarea; ² and the High–priest and chiefs of the Jews laid information before him against Paul, and began to beseech him

¹¹ If then, on the one hand, I am doing wrong, and, anything worthy of death, have committed, I excuse not myself from dying; but, on the other hand, if there is, nothing, in the things whereof these are accusing me, no man, hath power to give, me, unto them as a favour:––Unto Caesar, I appeal! ¹² Then Festus, having conversed with the council, answered––Unto Caesar, hast thou appealed? Unto Caesar, shalt thou go.

²² And, Agrippa, [said] unto Festus––I could wish, myself also, to hear, the man. Tomorrow, (saith he) thou shalt hear him. ²³ On the morrow, therefore, when Agrippa had come, and Bernice, with great display, and they had entered into the audience–chamber, with the captains of thousands and men of distinction of the city,––and Festus had given orders, Paul was brought. ²⁴ And Festus saith––King Agrippa! and all ye men, here present with us: Ye observe this person, concerning whom, one and all the throng of the Jews, have interceded with me, both in Jerusalem and here, crying aloud that he ought not to be living any longer. ²⁵ But, I, gathered, that, nothing worthy of death, had he committed; and, this man himself, having appealed unto the Emperor, I decided to send him:––

² Concerning all things of which I am accused by Jews, King Agrippa, I have been counting myself happy, that, before thee, am I about, this day, to be making my defence; ³ especially, as thou art, well–versed, in all the Jewish customs and questions. Wherefore, I beseech thee, patiently, to hear me. ⁴ My manner of life, then, from my youth, which, from its commencement, was formed among my nation, even in Jerusalem, know all Jews, ⁵ inasmuch as they were aforetime observing me, from the outset,––if they please to bear witness,––that, according to the strictest sect of our own religion, I lived, a Pharisee. ⁶ And, now, for the hope of the promise, unto our fathers, being brought to pass by God, am I standing to be judged,–– ⁷ unto which [hope], our twelve–tribed nation, with intensity, night and day, rendering divine service, is hoping to attain––concerning which hope, I am being accused by Jews, O King! ⁸ What! incredible, is it judged with you, that, God the dead doth raise? ⁹ I, therefore, imagined to myself, that, against the name of Jesus the Nazarene, it was needful, many hostile things, to bring about,–– ¹⁰ which also I did in Jerusalem, yea and, many of the saints, I myself, in prisons, shut up,––the authority, from the High–priests, having received: and, when they were to be put to death, I brought against them my vote; ¹¹ and, throughout all the synagogues, ofttimes punishing them, I would fain have compelled them to defame; and, being excessively maddened against them, I went on to pursue them as far as even the outlying cities.

²⁸ And, Agrippa, [said] unto Paul––Almost, art thou persuading, me, to become a, Christian!

³⁴ Wherefore, I beseech you to take some food,––for, this, lays a foundation for your safety; for, of no one of you, shall a hair of the head perish.

⁵ But, according to thy hardness, and [thine] impenitent heart, art treasuring up for thyself anger, in a day of anger and revelation of the righteous judgment of God,––

⁷ Unto them, on the one hand, who, by way of endurance in good work, are seeking, glory, honour and incorruption, life age–abiding,

³ And, not only so, but let us boast also in our tribulations; knowing that, our tribulation, worketh out endurance.

¹⁹ For, the eager outlook of creation, ardently awaiteth the revealing of the sons of God,––

²³ And, not only so, but, we ourselves, also, who have the firstfruit of the Spirit––[we] even ourselves, within our own selves do sigh,––sonship ardently awaiting––the redeeming of our body; ––

²⁵ If, however, what we do not behold we hope for, with endurance, are we ardently awaiting [it]; ––

²⁵ For I wish not, ye should be ignorant, brethren, of this sacred secret, lest within yourselves ye be presumptuous, that, a hardening in part, hath befallen Israel, until, the full measure of the nations, shall come in;

¹¹ And, this besides,––knowing the season––that it is an hour already for you out of sleep to be wakened; for, now, is our salvation nearer than when we believed: ¹² The night, is far spent and, the day, hath drawn near; let us, then, cast off the works of darkness, [and] let us put on the armour of light,–– ¹³ As in daytime, becomingly let us walk: not in revellings and in drunken bouts, not in chamberings and in wanton deeds, not in strife and envy; ––

⁴ Whatsoever things, in fact, were written aforetime, [all] for our own instruction were written,––in order that, through endurance and through the encouragement of the Scriptures, we might have their hope.

¹¹ But, now, I have written unto you not to be mixing yourselves up,––if anyone named a brother, be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or an extortioner, with such a one as this, not so much, as to be eating together,

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

¹³ Be on the watch, stand firm in the faith, be men––be strong;

⁵ For, not ourselves, do we proclaim, but Christ Jesus, as Lord, and, ourselves, as your servants for Jesus’ sake.

¹¹ For, evermore, we, the living, unto death are being delivered, for Jesus’ sake, in order that, the life also of Jesus, may be made manifest in our mortal flesh:

² That, in a great testing of tribulation, the superabounding of their joy and their deep destitution, superabounded unto the riches of their liberality; ³ That, according to power, I bear witness, and beyond power, of their own accord, [they acted], ––

¹² For, if the forwardness is set forth, according to what one may have, he is well approved, not according to what one hath not.

⁶ As to this, however, he that soweth sparingly, sparingly, also shall reap, and, he that soweth with blessings, with blessings, also shall reap: ⁷ Each one, according as he hath purposed in his heart, not sorrowfully, nor of necessity,––for, a cheerful giver, God, loveth.

¹³ For, such as these, are false apostles, deceitful workers, transfiguring themselves into apostles of Christ. ¹⁴ And no marvel! for, Satan himself, doth transfigure himself into a messenger of light! ¹⁵ No great thing, therefore, if, his ministers also, are transfiguring themselves as ministers of righteousness!––whose end, shall be according to their works.

¹⁰ Wherefore, I take pleasure in weaknesses, in insults, in necessities, in persecutions, and straits, in behalf of Christ; for, as soon as I am weak, then, am powerful.

²⁰ idolatry, enchantment, enmities, strife, jealousy, outbursts of wrath, factions, divisions, parties,

¹⁴ Which is an earnest of our inheritance, unto the redemption of the acquisition; ––unto his glorious praise.

³⁰ And be not grieving the Holy Spirit of God, wherewith ye have been sealed unto a day of redemption;

⁶ Let no one be deceiving you with empty words; for, because of these things, is coming the anger of God upon the sons of obstinacy:

¹³ For this cause, take up the complete armour of God, in order that ye may receive power to withstand in the evil day, and, all things, having accomplished, to stand! ¹⁴ Stand therefore,––having girded your loins with truth, and put on the breastplate of righteousness,

¹⁸ With all prayer and supplication, praying in every season, in spirit, and, thereunto, watching, with all perseverance and supplication, for all the saints,––
¹⁹ And on behalf of me; ––that, unto me, may be given discourse in the opening of my mouth, with freedom of utterance, to make known the sacred secret [of the glad–message]

¹⁹ And on behalf of me; ––that, unto me, may be given discourse in the opening of my mouth, with freedom of utterance, to make known the sacred secret [of the glad–message]

¹² Howbeit, I am minded, brethren, that ye should be, getting to know, that, the things which relate unto myself, rather, unto an advancement of the glad–message, have fallen out,

²⁸ And not being affrighted in anything by the opposers,––the which, is, unto them, a token of destruction, although of your salvation, and this from God; ²⁹ Because, unto you, hath it been given as a favour, in behalf of Christ, not only, on him, to believe, but also, in his behalf, to suffer:––

⁶ For nothing, be anxious, but, in everything, by your prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, let, your petitions, be made known unto God;

² Unto prayer, be devoting yourselves, watching therein with thanksgiving: ³ Praying, at the same time, for us also,––that, God, would open unto us a door for the word, so that we may speak the sacred secret of the Christ––for the sake of which also I am in bonds, ⁴ That I may make it manifest as behoveth me to speak.

³ Unceasingly, remembering––your work of faith and labour of love and endurance of hope, of our Lord Jesus Christ, before our God and Father:

¹⁵ Who have both slain the, Lord, Jesus––and the prophets, and, us, have persecuted, and, unto God, are displeasing, and, unto all men, are contrary,–– ¹⁶ Hindering us from speaking, unto the nations, that they might be saved, to the filling up of their own sins, continually; but anger hath overtaken them at length.

¹⁶ Hindering us from speaking, unto the nations, that they might be saved, to the filling up of their own sins, continually; but anger hath overtaken them at length.

³ That, no one, might be shrinking back in these tribulations. For ye, yourselves, know, that, hereunto, are we appointed; ⁴ For, even when we were with you, we told you beforehand––we are destined to suffer tribulation! even as it also came to pass, and ye know.

² For, ye yourselves, perfectly well know––that, the day of the Lord, as a thief in the night, so, cometh; ³ As soon as they begin to say––Peace! and safety! then, suddenly, upon them, cometh destruction,––just as the birth–throe unto her that is with child,––and in nowise shall they escape. ⁴ But, ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that, the day, upon you, as upon thieves, should lay hold; ⁵ For, all ye, are, sons of light, and sons of day,––we are not of night, nor of darkness:
⁶ Hence, then, let us not be sleeping, as the rest, but let us watch and be sober:–– ⁷ For, they that sleep, by night, do sleep, and, they that drink, by night, do drink:–– ⁸ But, we, being of the day, let us be sober, putting on a breastplate of faith and love, and, for helmet, the hope of salvation.

¹⁷ Unceasingly, pray,

⁵ A proof of the righteous judgment of God, to the end ye may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, in behalf of which ye are also suffering:––

⁵ A proof of the righteous judgment of God, to the end ye may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, in behalf of which ye are also suffering:–– ⁶ If, at least, it is a, righteous thing with God, to recompense, affliction, unto them that afflict you,

³ That no one may cheat, you, in any one respect. Because [that day will not set in]––except the revolt come first, and there he revealed the man of lawlessness, the son of destruction,

⁹ Whose, presence, [shall be] according to an inworking of Satan, with all manner of mighty work and signs and wonders of falsehood, 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; –– ¹¹ And, for this cause, God sendeth them an inworking of error, to the end they should believe in the falsehood,––

⁵ But may, the Lord, guide your hearts into the love of God, and into the endurance of the Christ.

¹³ Whereas, wicked men and howling impostors, will force their way to the worse, deceiving and being deceived.

⁵ But, thou,––be sober in all things, suffer hardship, do, the work, of an evangelist, thy ministry, completely fulfill;

¹⁶ In my first defence, no man, came in to help me, but, all, forsook me,––unto them, may it not be reckoned!–– ¹⁷ But, the Lord, stood by me, and empowered me, in order that, through me, the proclamation, might be fully made, and, all the nations, might hear; and I was delivered out of the mouth of a lion:––

¹¹ But we covet that, each one of you, be shewing forth the same diligence, unto the full assurance of the hope throughout:

¹⁵ And, thus, being patient, he attained unto the promise.

¹² Nor yet through blood of goats and calves, but through his own blood he entered once for all into the Holy place, age–abiding redemption discovering. ¹³ For if the blood of goats and bulls, and the ashes of a heifer sprinkling the profaned, halloweth unto the purity of the flesh, ¹⁴ How much rather shall the blood of the Christ, who through an age–abiding spirit offered himself unspotted unto God, purify our conscience from dead works, to the rendering of divine–service, unto a Living God?
¹⁵ And, for this cause, of a new covenant, is he mediator,––to the end that, death coming to pass for the redemption of the transgressions against the first covenant, the called might receive the promise of the age–abiding inheritance; ¹⁶ For, where a covenant is, it is necessary for, the death, to be brought in, of him that hath covenanted; ¹⁷ For, a covenant over dead persons, is firm,––since it is not then of force when he is living that hath covenanted.

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,

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, ²⁷ But some fearful reception of judgment and fiery jealousy, about to devour the opposers.

²⁷ But some fearful reception of judgment and fiery jealousy, about to devour the opposers. ²⁸ Any one having set aside a law of Moses, apart from compassions, upon [the testimony of] two or three witnesses, dieth: ²⁹ Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be accounted worthy, who hath trampled underfoot the Son of God, and, the blood of the covenant, hath esteemed, a profane thing, by which he had been made holy, and, unto the Spirit of favour, hath offered wanton insult? ³⁰ For we know him that hath said––To me, belongeth avenging, I, will recompense; and again––The Lord will judge his people. ³¹ A fearful thing [it is] to fall into the hands of a Living God!

³⁶ For, of endurance, ye have need, in order that, the will of God having done, Ye may bear away, the promise. ³⁷ For, yet a little while, how short! how short! The Coming One will be here, and will not tarry;

¹⁵ Using oversight––lest any one be falling behind from the favour of God,––lest any root of bitterness, springing up above, be causing trouble, and, through it, the many, be defiled:

²⁷ But, the saying, Yet once for all, maketh clear the removal of the things which can be shaken, as of things done with,––that they may remain, which cannot be shaken.

¹⁶ But, of the doing good and of fellowship, be not forgetful; for, with such sacrifices as these, is, God, well–pleased.

³ Taking note, that, the proving of your faith, worketh out endurance;

⁵ But, if any of you is sinning short of wisdom, let him be asking of God, Who giveth unto all freely and upbraideth not, and it shall be given him;

¹ Come now! ye wealthy! Weep ye, howling, for your hardships which are coming upon you:

⁷ Be patient, therefore, brethren, until the Presence of the Lord:––Lo! the husbandman, awaiteth the precious fruit of the earth, having patience for it, until it receive the early and the latter rain: ⁸ Be, ye also, patient, Stablish your hearts, because, the Presence of the Lord, hath drawn near. ⁹ Be not sighing, brethren, one against another, lest ye be judged,––Lo! the Judge, before the doors, is standing.

⁹ Be not sighing, brethren, one against another, lest ye be judged,––Lo! the Judge, before the doors, is standing. ¹⁰ An example, take ye, brethren, of distress and patience,––the prophets who have spoken in the name of the Lord. ¹¹ Lo! we pronounce them happy who have endured; ––Of the endurance of Job, ye have heard, and, the end of the Lord, have ye seen,––that, of much tender affection, is the Lord, and full of compassion,

²⁵ But the declaration of the Lord age–abidingly remaineth; And, this, is a declaration which in the joyful message hath been announced unto you.

¹³ Submit yourselves unto every human creation, for the Lord’s sake,––whether unto a king, as one that protecteth,

³ For, sufficient, is the bygone time––to have wrought out, the will of the nations, having gone on in wanton ways, covetings, wine–drinkings, revellings, drinking–bouts, and impious idolatries:––
⁴ Wherein they are taken by surprise that ye run not with them into the same overflow of riotous excess,––uttering defamation: ⁵ Who shall render an account unto him who is holding in readiness to judge living and dead; ⁶ For, unto this end, even unto the dead, was the glad–message delivered,––in order that they might be judged, indeed, according to men in flesh, but might live according to God in spirit.
⁷ But, the end of all things, hath drawn near:––be of sound mind, therefore, and be sober for prayers;

⁷ But, the end of all things, hath drawn near:––be of sound mind, therefore, and be sober for prayers;

¹² Beloved! be not held in surprise by the burning among you, which, for putting you to the proof, is befalling you, as though a, surprising, thing were happening unto you; ¹³ But, in so far as ye are taking fellowship in the Christ’s sufferings, rejoice! in order that, in the revealing of his glory also, ye may rejoice with exultation: ¹⁴ If ye are being reproached in the name of Christ, happy [are ye]! Because, the Spirit, of the glory, and the [Spirit] of God, unto you is bringing rest.

¹⁴ If ye are being reproached in the name of Christ, happy [are ye]! Because, the Spirit, of the glory, and the [Spirit] of God, unto you is bringing rest.

¹⁷ For it is the ripe time for the judgment to begin with the house of God; but, if first with us, what shall be the end of them who yield not unto the glad–message of God?

⁸ Be sober! be watchful! Your slanderous adversary, as a roaring lion, is walking about––seeking to devour:

⁹ [Then] the Lord knoweth how to rescue, the godly out of trial; but to keep, the unrighteous unto a day of judgment to be punished; ––

⁷ While, the heavens and the earth that now are, by the same word, have been stored with fire, being kept unto the day of judgment and destruction of the ungodly men.

⁷ While, the heavens and the earth that now are, by the same word, have been stored with fire, being kept unto the day of judgment and destruction of the ungodly men.
⁸ But, this one thing, forget not, beloved,––that, one day, with the Lord, is as a thousand years, and, a thousand years, as one day.
⁹ The Lord is, not slack, concerning his promise, as some count, slackness; but is long–suffering with regard to you, not being minded that any should perish, but that, all, unto repentance, should come. ¹⁰ Howbeit the day of the Lord will be here, as a thief,––in which, the heavens, with a rushing noise, will pass away, while, elements, becoming intensely hot, will be dissolved, and, earth, and the works therein, will be discovered.

¹⁰ Howbeit the day of the Lord will be here, as a thief,––in which, the heavens, with a rushing noise, will pass away, while, elements, becoming intensely hot, will be dissolved, and, earth, and the works therein, will be discovered.

¹⁰ Howbeit the day of the Lord will be here, as a thief,––in which, the heavens, with a rushing noise, will pass away, while, elements, becoming intensely hot, will be dissolved, and, earth, and the works therein, will be discovered.
¹¹ Seeing that all these things are thus to be dissolved, what manner of persons, ought [ye] all the while to be, in holy ways of behaviour and acts of godliness,––

¹¹ Seeing that all these things are thus to be dissolved, what manner of persons, ought [ye] all the while to be, in holy ways of behaviour and acts of godliness,–– ¹² Expecting and hastening the presence of the day of God, by reason of which, heavens, being on fire, will be dissolved, and, elements, becoming intensely hot, are to be melted;

¹² Expecting and hastening the presence of the day of God, by reason of which, heavens, being on fire, will be dissolved, and, elements, becoming intensely hot, are to be melted; ¹³ But, new heavens, and a new earth, according to his promise, are we expecting, wherein, righteousness, is to dwell. ¹⁴ Wherefore, beloved, these things, expecting––give diligence, unspotted and unblemished, by him, to be found, in peace;

¹⁴ Wherefore, beloved, these things, expecting––give diligence, unspotted and unblemished, by him, to be found, in peace;

²⁸ And, now, dear children, abide ye in him, in order that, if he be made manifest, we may have boldness, and not be shamed away from him by his presence.

¹ Beloved! not in every spirit, believe ye, but test the spirits, whether they are, of God; because, many false prophets, have gone out into the world.

⁷ Because, many deceivers, have gone out into the world, they who do not confess Jesus Christ coming in flesh: This, is the deceiver and the antichrist.

²⁴ Now, unto him who is able––to guard you from stumbling, and to set you in the presence of his glory, without blemish, with exultation,––

³ Happy! he that readeth, and they who hear, the words of the prophecy, and keep the things, therein, written; for, the season, is, near.

⁷ Lo! he cometh with the clouds, and every eye shall see him, such also as pierced him; and all the tribes of the land shall smite themselves for him. Yea! Amen.

⁹ I, John, your brother, and partaker with you in the tribulation and kingdom and endurance in Jesus, came to be in the isle that is called Patmos, because of the word of God, and the witness of Jesus.

² I know thy works, and thy toil, and endurance, and that thou canst not bear bad men, and thou hast tried them who were affirming themselves to be apostles, and they were not, and hast found them false; ³ And thou hast, endurance, and hast borne for the sake of my name, and hast not grown weary.

³ And thou hast, endurance, and hast borne for the sake of my name, and hast not grown weary.

¹⁰ Do not fear the things which thou art about to suffer. Lo! the adversary is about to cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried, and may have tribulation ten days. Become thou faithful until death, and I will give thee the crown of life.

¹³ I know where thou dwellest, where, the throne of Satan, is; and thou art holding fast my name, and didst not deny my faith, even in the days of Antipas, my witness, my faithful one, who was killed near you, where, Satan, dwelleth.

³ Remember, therefore, how thou hast received, and didst hear, and keep it and repent. If then thou shall not watch, I will have come as a thief, and in nowise shalt thou get to know, during what sort of hour, I will have come upon thee.

¹⁰ Because thou didst keep my word of endurance, I also, will keep thee out of the hour of trial, which is about to come upon the whole habitable world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.

² And I saw, and lo! a white horse,––and he that was sitting thereon holding a bow; and there was given unto him a crown, and he went forth conquering, and that he might conquer.
³ And, when he opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature, saying––Go! ⁴ And there went forth another, a red horse,––and, unto him that was sitting thereon, it was given, [unto him], to take away peace from the earth, and that, one another, they should slay; and there was given unto him a great sword. ⁵ And, when he opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature, saying––Go! And I saw, and lo! a black horse, and he that was sitting thereon holding a pair of balances in his hand. ⁶ And I heard as a voice in the midst of the four living creatures, saying––A quart of wheat for, a denary, and three quarts of barley, for a denary,––and, the oil and the wine, do not wrong. ⁷ And, when he opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature, saying––Go! ⁸ And I saw, and lo! a livid horse,––and he that was sitting thereupon had for a name, Death, and, Hades, was following with him; and there was given unto them authority over the fourth of the earth, to slay with sword, and with famine, and with death, and by the wild beasts of the earth.
⁹ And, when he opened the fifth seal, I saw, beneath the altar, the souls of them who had been slain because of the word of God and because of the witness which they held.

⁹ And, when he opened the fifth seal, I saw, beneath the altar, the souls of them who had been slain because of the word of God and because of the witness which they held. ¹⁰ And they cried out with a loud voice, saying––How long, O Sovereign, the Holy and True, dost thou not vindicate and avenge our blood from them that dwell upon the earth? ¹¹ And there was given to them, each one, a white robe, and it was bidden them, that they should rest yet a little while––until the number should be made full of their fellow–servants also, and their brethren, who were about to be slain as even, they. ¹² And I saw, when he opened the sixth seal, that a, great earthquake, took place; and, the sun, became black as sackcloth of hair, and, the full moon, became as blood,

¹² And I saw, when he opened the sixth seal, that a, great earthquake, took place; and, the sun, became black as sackcloth of hair, and, the full moon, became as blood, ¹³ and, the stars of heaven, fell to the earth, as, a fig–tree, sheddeth her winter figs, when, by a great wind, it is shaken, ¹⁴ and, the heaven, was withdrawn, as a scroll rolling itself up, and, every mountain and island, out of their places, were shaken.

² and, the court that is outside the Sanctuary, cast thou outside, and do not measure, it, because it hath been given unto the nations, and, the holy city, shall they tread under foot, forty and two months.

⁹ And the great dragon was cast out,––the ancient serpent, he that is called Adversary and the Satan, that deceiveth the whole habitable world,––he was cast to the earth, and his messengers, with him, were cast.

¹¹ And, they, overcame him by reason of the blood of the Lamb, and by reason of their witnessing word, and they loved not their life, even unto death.

¹⁰ If anyone [carrieth] into captivity, into captivity, he goeth away. If anyone, with a sword, doth slay, he must, with a sword, be slain. Here, is the endurance and the faith of the saints.

¹² Here, is, the endurance of the saints,––they who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus.

¹⁴ And I saw, and lo! a white cloud, and, upon the cloud, one sitting like unto a son of man, having, upon his head, a crown of gold, and, in his hand, a sharp sickle.

¹⁵ Lo! I come as a thief! Happy, he that is watching, and keeping his garments, lest, naked, he be walking, and they see his shame.––

⁴ And I heard another voice out of heaven, saying––Come forth, my people, out of her,––that ye may have no fellowship with her sins, and, of her plagues, that ye may not receive;

¹¹ And I saw a great white throne, and him that was sitting thereon, from whose face fled the earth and heaven, and, place, was not found for them.
