⁶⁴ You heard the blasphemy! What do you think?” They all condemned Him to be deserving of death.

¹⁷ Now it happened on a certain day that He was teaching, and there were Pharisees and teachers of the law, who had come from every village of Galilee, and from Judea and Jerusalem, sitting there—and the power of the Lord was there to heal them. ¹⁸ And then, some men came carrying a paralyzed man on a cot, and tried to take him in and place him before Him.

¹⁸ And then, some men came carrying a paralyzed man on a cot, and tried to take him in and place him before Him. ¹⁹ When they could not find how to do it, because of the crowd, they went up on the roof and lowered him with the cot through the tiling into the center, in front of Jesus.

¹ Now it happened on a second-first Sabbath that He was passing through the grain fields, and His disciples began to pick and eat the heads of grain, rubbing them in their hands. ² But some of the Pharisees said to them, “Why are you doing that which is not lawful to do on the Sabbath?” ³ So in answer to them Jesus said: “Have you not even read this, what David did when he was hungry, he and those who were with him: ⁴ how he went into the house of God, took and ate the showbread, and even gave it to those with him—that which only the priests are allowed to eat?” ⁵ Then He said to them, “The Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath!”

⁵ Then He said to them, “The Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath!”

⁸ But He knew their thoughts and said to the man with the shriveled hand, “Get up and stand in the center”. So he got up and stood. ⁹ Then Jesus said to them: “I will ask you something: Is it lawful on the Sabbath to do good or to do evil, to save life or to kill?”

¹⁵ Matthew and Thomas, James (the son of Alphaeus) and Simon (the one called ‘Zealot’),

¹⁷ Then He came down with them and stood on a level place, with a crowd of His disciples and a great multitude of people from all Judea and Jerusalem, also from the seacoast of Tyre and Sidon, who came to hear Him and to be healed of their diseases,

¹⁶ Fear took hold of all, and they began glorifying God, saying, “A great prophet has arisen among us!” and, “God has visited His people!”

³⁹ Now as the Pharisee who had invited Him observed this, he was saying to himself, “If this man were a prophet, he would know who is touching him, including what sort of woman she is—because she is a sinner!” ⁴⁰ So Jesus reacted by saying to him, “Simon, I have something to say to you”. And he said, “Teacher, say on”.

⁴⁷ For this reason, I say to you, her many sins have been forgiven, because she loved much; but to whom little is forgiven, the same loves little.” ⁴⁸ Then He said to her, “Your sins are forgiven”. ⁴⁹ The other recliners began to say within themselves, “Who is this who even forgives sins?”

⁴⁹ The other recliners began to say within themselves, “Who is this who even forgives sins?” ⁵⁰ Then He said to the woman, “Your faith has saved you; go into peace.”

¹ Now it happened after this that He started going around town by town, village by village, preaching and proclaiming the good news of the Kingdom of God, and the twelve were with Him;

¹¹ “Now here is the parable: The seed is the Word of God.

⁴⁸ So He said: “Courage, daughter, your faith has healed you. Go into peace.”

²⁶ So He said to him: “What is written in the Law? How do you read it?”

¹ Meanwhile, when a crowd of thousands had converged, so that they were stepping on each other, He began to speak first to His disciples: “Guard yourselves from the ‘yeast’ of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.

¹³ He placed His hands on her and immediately she was made straight and started glorifying God.

¹⁵ So the Lord answered him and said: “Hypocrites! Does not each one of you on the Sabbath loose his ox or donkey from the stall and lead it away to water? ¹⁶ So ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan kept bound during eighteen long years, be freed from this bond on the Sabbath day?”

¹ Then all the tax collectors and ‘sinners’ were getting close to Him to hear Him. ² Well the Pharisees and the scribes started complaining, saying, “This man welcomes ‘sinners’ and eats with them”. ³ So He told them this parable, saying: ⁴ “What man among you, having a hundred sheep and losing one of them, does not abandon the ninety-nine in the wild and go after the lost one until he finds it? ⁵ And upon finding it he joyfully puts it on his shoulders. ⁶ And when he comes home, he calls together his friends and neighbors, saying to them, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep that was lost!’ ⁷ I say to you that likewise there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous ones who have no need of repentance.

⁷ I say to you that likewise there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous ones who have no need of repentance.

¹⁰ Just so, I say to you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.”

²⁹ But in answer he said to the father: ‘Just look at how many years I have been serving you without ever transgressing your commandment; yet you never gave me even a young goat that I might celebrate with my friends.

¹⁵ So He said to them: “You are those who justify yourselves before men, but God knows your hearts. That which is exalted among men is an abomination before God.

¹⁵ Well one of them, when he saw that he was healed, returned, glorifying God with a loud voice;

²² Then He said to the disciples: “Days are coming when you will long to see one of the days of the Son of Man, and you will not see it.

¹¹ The Pharisee stood and started praying to himself like this: ‘God, I thank you that I am not like all the rest—robbers, unjust, adulterers—or even like this tax collector. ¹² I fast twice a week; I tithe all that I get.’

³⁵ Then it happened, as He approached Jericho, that a certain blind man was sitting alongside the road begging. ³⁶ Hearing a crowd going by, he asked what it was. ³⁷ So they told him that Jesus the Natsorean was passing by. ³⁸ Well he shouted, saying, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!”

⁷ But when they saw it, they all started complaining, saying, “He has entered to lodge with a sinful man!”

¹⁰ because the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost.”

⁴⁸ but could not figure out how to do it, because all the people were hanging on His words.

³⁸ Then early in the morning all the people would come to Him in the temple to hear Him.

³⁸ And He said to them: “Why are you troubled?” and “Why do doubts arise in your hearts?

²⁴ But as for Jesus Himself, He did not entrust Himself to them, because He knew all men ²⁵ and that He had no need that anyone should testify about man, because He Himself knew what was in man.

²⁵ and that He had no need that anyone should testify about man, because He Himself knew what was in man.

²⁹ He who has the bride is the bridegroom, but the friend of the bridegroom, who stands by and hears him, has great joy at the bridegroom’s voice. So this my joy has been fulfilled.

⁴⁷ When this man heard that Jesus had come out of Judea into Galilee, he went to Him and implored Him to come down and heal his son, for he was about to die.

⁸ Jesus says to him, “Get up, pick up your pallet and walk!” ⁹ Immediately the man became well and picked up his pallet and started to walk.

⁹ Immediately the man became well and picked up his pallet and started to walk. ¹⁰ But that day was a Sabbath, so the Jews said to the one who had been healed, “It’s the Sabbath! You aren’t allowed to carry the pallet.”

¹⁰ But that day was a Sabbath, so the Jews said to the one who had been healed, “It’s the Sabbath! You aren’t allowed to carry the pallet.” ¹¹ He answered them, “The one who made me well—He said to me, ‘Pick up your pallet and walk’.”

¹⁴ After these things Jesus found him in the temple and said to him, “See, you are well. Don’t sin any more, so that something worse doesn’t happen to you.”

¹⁷ But Jesus answered them, “Until now, my Father works, I also work.”

²⁰ For the Father loves the Son and shows Him everything that He Himself is doing; and He will show Him greater works than these, so that you may marvel. ²¹ Now just as the Father raises the dead and gives life, just so the Son also gives life to whom He wishes. ²² In fact the Father does not judge anyone but has committed all the judging to the Son, ²³ so that all will honor the Son just as they honor the Father. Whoever does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent Him. ²⁴ “Most assuredly I say to you that the one listening to my word and believing on Him who sent me has eternal life; he will not go into judging but has moved out of the death into the life. ²⁵ “Most assuredly I say to you that a time is coming, and now is, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who listen will live. ²⁶ Because just as the Father has life in Himself just so He gave to the Son also to have life in Himself; ²⁷ furthermore He gave Him the authority to pass judgment, because He is Son of Man .

⁶³ The Spirit is the One who makes alive; the flesh does not benefit anything. The words that I speak to you are spirit, are life. ⁶⁴ But there are some among you who do not believe.” (For Jesus knew from the start who they were who didn’t believe, and who was betraying Him.)

²³ If a man receives circumcision on the Sabbath so that the Law of Moses won’t be broken, are you angry at me because I made a whole man well on the Sabbath?

³¹ Now many of the crowd were believing into Him, and they were saying, “Whenever the Christ comes He won’t perform more signs than these which this man has done, will He?”

³³ Then Jesus said, “For a little while I am still with you, and then I go to the One who sent me. ³⁴ You will look for me and not find me; also, where I am you cannot come.”

⁵ While I am in the world, I am the Light of the world.” ⁶ Upon saying these things He spat on the ground and made mud with the saliva, and spread the mud on the blind man’s eyes. ⁷ And He said to him, “Go wash in the pool of Siloam” (which is translated, ‘Sent’). So he went and washed, and came away seeing. ⁸ Then the neighbors and those who previously had seen that he was blind started saying, “Isn’t this the man who sat begging?” ⁹ Others said, “This is he;” still others, “He is like him.” He kept saying, “I’m the one!” ¹⁰ So they said to him, “How were your eyes opened?” ¹¹ He answered and said: “A man called Jesus made mud and anointed my eyes and said to me, ‘Go to the pool of Siloam and wash.’ So when I went and washed, I saw!”

¹⁴ (Now it was a Sabbath when Jesus made the mud and opened his eyes.)

¹⁶ Then some of the Pharisees said, “This man can’t be from God, because he doesn’t keep the Sabbath.” Others were saying, “How can a sinful man do such signs?” And there was a division among them.

³² Since time began it was never heard that anyone opened the eyes of a person born blind.

³⁴ They answered and said to him, “You were totally born in sins, and you are teaching us ?” And they expelled him.

⁴⁰ And some of the Pharisees who were with Him heard these words and said to Him, “We aren’t blind too, are we?”

³³ The Jews answered Him saying, “It’s not for a good work that we are stoning you, but for blasphemy; precisely because you, being a man, make yourself God!”

³⁶ do you say ‘You are blaspheming’ to the One the Father sanctified and sent into the world because I said, ‘I am the Son of God’?

⁸ For you always have the poor with you, but you do not always have me.”

³³ “Little children, I am with you just a little longer. You will look for me, and as I said to the Jews, ‘Where I am going you cannot come,’ so now I say to you.

⁷ Nevertheless I am telling you the truth: it is to your advantage that I go away, because if I don’t go away the Helper will not come to you, but if I do go I will send Him to you.

²⁸ I did come forth from the Father and have come into the world. I am leaving the world again and am going to the Father.”

¹¹ Now I am no longer in the world, yet these are in the world, and I am coming to You.” Holy Father, keep them in Your name which You have given to me, so that they may be one just as we are.

¹³ But now I am coming to You, and I speak these things in the world so that they may have my joy made full in them.

²⁰ And upon saying this He showed them His hands and His side. Well, the disciples were overjoyed when they saw the Lord! ²¹ So Jesus said to them again: “Peace to you! Just as the Father sent me, I also send you.” ²² Upon saying this He breathed on them and said: “Receive Holy Spirit! ²³ To whomever you forgive the sins, they are forgiven to them; to whomever you retain, they have been retained.”

¹⁷ The third time He says to him, “Simon, son of Jonah, are you fond of me?” Peter was grieved in that the third time He said to him, “Are you fond of me?” and said to Him: “Lord, you know all things. You know that I’m fond of you!” Jesus says to him: “Feed my sheep.

⁹ Upon saying these things, as they watched, He was lifted up, and a cloud took Him out of their sight.

¹³ When they had entered [the city] they went up into the upper room where they were staying; namely Peter and James, John and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James of Alphaeus and Simon the Zealot, and Judas of James.

⁶ So when that roar occurred, the crowd came together, and was bewildered, because each one was hearing them speaking to him in his own dialect.

²¹ whom Heaven must receive until the times of restoration of all things, of which times God spoke long ago by the mouth of all His holy prophets.

²¹ So threatening them some more they released them, not finding any way to punish them, because of the people, since they were all glorifying God over what had happened;

³ So Peter said: “Ananias, on what basis has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and to keep back for yourself part of the price of the land?

³¹ Him God has exalted to His right hand as Prince and Savior, to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins.

²² Turn away therefore from this your wickedness and make petition to God, in case the intent of your heart may be forgiven you;

²⁵ So when they had both thoroughly testified and spoken the word of the Lord they returned to Jerusalem; they also evangelized many Samaritan villages.

¹⁹ Now those who had been scattered by the persecution that came about in connection with Stephen traveled as far as Phoenicia, Cyprus and Antioch, speaking the word to no one except Jews only.

²³ Upon arriving and seeing the grace of God, he was glad, and he kept encouraging them all to remain true to the Lord with purpose of heart

² As they were ministering to the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, “Set apart to me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them!” ³ Then, having fasted and prayed and laid their hands on them, they sent them off.

⁹ This man was listening to Paul speaking; who looking intently at him and seeing that he had faith to be healed,

²³ When they had appointed elders for them in every congregation, having prayed with fasting, they commended them to the Lord into whom they had believed.

²⁵ When they had declared the Word in Perga, they went down to Attalia.

⁶ Now when they had gone through Phrygia and the region of Galatia, having been forbidden by the Holy Spirit to speak the word in Asia,

²¹ solemnly proclaiming to both Jews and Greeks the repentance toward God and the faith into our Lord Jesus.

⁹ There was a great clamor, and the scribes of the Pharisee party stood up and started arguing vigorously, saying, “We find nothing wrong with this man; but if a spirit or angel has spoken to him, let us not fight against God!”

²⁰ —first to those in Damascus and Jerusalem, then to all the region of Judea and to the ethnic nations, I still preach: ‘repent and turn back to God, doing works worthy of repentance’.

⁶ Now then, when we were incapacitated, even so Christ died for the ungodly, at the right moment. ⁷ Now scarcely even for a righteous person will someone offer to die (although on behalf of a good man someone might dare even to die), ⁸ but God demonstrates His own love toward us in that while we were still sinners Christ died for us!

²⁰ However, law came on the scene so that the offense might abound; but where the sin abounded, the grace superabounded, ²¹ so that just as sin reigned in the death, so also the grace might reign through righteousness into eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

³ For they, failing to understand God’s righteousness and seeking to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted to God’s righteousness.

⁸ So what does it say? “The message is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is, the message of faith that we proclaim):

¹⁵ But he who is spiritual evaluates everything, while not being himself subject to anyone’s judgment.

²¹ So then, let no one boast in men, for all things are yours: ²² whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas, whether the world or life or death, whether things present or things to come—all are yours,

⁹ Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the Kingdom of God? Do not be deceived! Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor catamites, nor sodomites, ¹⁰ nor the greedy, nor thieves, nor drunkards, nor the abusive, nor swindlers can inherit the Kingdom of God, absolutely. ¹¹ And that is what some of you were; but you were bathed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God.

⁵ Do not deprive one another except by mutual consent for a season, so that you may devote yourselves to fasting and to prayer, and come together again so that Satan may not tempt you because of your lack of self-control.

¹³ No testing has overtaken you except what is common to man, and God is competent, who will not allow you to be tested beyond what you can stand, but with the testing will also provide the way out, that you may be able to endure it.

³⁰ Because of this many among you are weak and sick, and a good many have died.

¹⁰ If you forgive anyone, I do too; further, if indeed I have forgiven anything to someone, I have done so for your sakes in the presence of Christ,

¹⁵ So all this is for your benefit, so that the grace that has spread through the many may cause the thanksgiving to abound to the glory of God.

⁵ in beatings, in imprisonments, in tumults, in hard work, in sleepless nights, in fastings;

⁵ demolishing sophistries and every arrogance that sets itself up against the knowledge of God; taking captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ;

² For I am jealous over you with a godly jealousy, because I betrothed you to one man to present you to Christ as a pure virgin.

²⁷ in toil and hardship, in many sleepless nights, in hunger and thirst, in frequent fastings, in cold and nakedness —

²² In short, He\up6 [F]\up0 placed everything under His\up6 [S]\up0 feet and appointed Him to be Head over everything in the Church,

⁸ For by grace you have been saved, through the faith —and this not of yourselves, it is the gift of God—

¹⁶ So don’t let anyone judge you about food or drink, or with respect to a feast day or a new moon or Sabbaths,

¹³ bearing with one another and forgiving each other, if anyone should have a complaint against another—just as Christ forgave you, so you also must do.

³ continually remembering before our God and Father your work for the Faith and your labor coming from the Love and your perseverance based on the Hope, our Lord Jesus Christ being their source, ⁴ knowing as we do, brothers loved by God, that you are chosen.

¹³ I, who was formerly a blasphemer and a persecutor and arrogant; but I was shown mercy, because being ignorant I did it in unbelief; ¹⁴ the grace of our Lord overflowed, along with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus. ¹⁵ Here is a trustworthy word, worthy of total acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners—of whom I am chief; ¹⁶ precisely for this reason I was shown mercy, that in me, the ‘chief’, Jesus Christ might display all his forbearance, as an example for those who are going to rely on Him into eternal life.

² Proclaim the Word; be ready in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and exhort, with lots of patience and teaching.

¹⁴ who gave Himself for us, so that He might redeem us from all lawlessness and purify for Himself a special people, zealous for good works.

³ Because we ourselves were also foolish at one time, disobedient, being deceived, being enslaved to various lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, detestable, hating one another. ⁴ But when the kindness of our Savior God and His love toward mankind manifested itself, ⁵ He saved us—not because of righteous deeds that we ourselves had done but according to His mercy, by means of the bath of regeneration and renewal by the Holy Spirit, ⁶ whom He poured out on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior, ⁷ so that having been justified by His grace we might become heirs according to the hope of eternal life.

¹³ Nothing in all creation is hidden from His sight; rather all things are naked and open to the eyes of Him to whom we must give account.

³ Do consider Him who endured such hostility from sinners against Himself, so as not to grow weary, losing courage in your souls.

¹⁸ (But someone will say: “You have faith and I have works. Show me your faith by your works and I, by my works will show you my faith [what he believes].” ¹⁹ You believe that God is one. You do well. The demons also believe—and shudder!) ²⁰ But you need to know, you foolish fellow, that faith without works is dead! ²¹ Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered Isaac his son on the altar? ²² You can see that faith was acting together with his works, and the faith was made complete by the works.

¹⁵ And the prayer of faith will deliver the one who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up; and if he has committed sin, it will be forgiven him.

¹⁰ I was in spirit on the Lord’s day and I heard a voice behind me, loud as a trumpet,

²³ And I will execute her children; and all the churches will know that I am the One who searches minds and hearts, and I will give to each one of you according to your works.

⁷ Let us rejoice and exult and give Him the glory, because the wedding of the Lamb has come, and His wife has prepared herself.”

⁹ Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls full of the seven last plagues came and spoke with me saying, “Come, I will show you the woman, the Lamb’s bride.”
