³⁶ Then He commanded them that they should tell no one; but the more He would command them, so much the more they would proclaim it. ³⁷ People were astonished beyond measure, saying: “He has done everything well. He makes both the deaf to hear and the mute to speak.”

³⁷ People were astonished beyond measure, saying: “He has done everything well. He makes both the deaf to hear and the mute to speak.”

¹⁶ So they started reasoning among themselves, saying, “It’s because we have no bread”. ¹⁷ Being aware of it Jesus said to them: “Why are you reasoning because you have no bread? Do you still neither perceive nor understand? Do you still have hearts that have been hardened?

²² Then He came to Bethsaida; and they brought a blind man to Him and begged Him to touch him.

²² Then He came to Bethsaida; and they brought a blind man to Him and begged Him to touch him. ²³ So He took the blind man by the hand and led him out of the village; then spitting into his eyes and laying hands on him, He asked him if he saw anything.

²³ So He took the blind man by the hand and led him out of the village; then spitting into his eyes and laying hands on him, He asked him if he saw anything.

¹⁴ Upon coming to the disciples, He saw a large crowd around them, and scribes arguing with them. ¹⁵ Well as soon as the crowd saw Him they were excited and ran to greet Him. ¹⁶ He asked the scribes, “What are you discussing with them?” ¹⁷ In answer a man in the crowd said: “Teacher, I brought you my son, who has a mute spirit. ¹⁸ And wherever it seizes him it throws him down, and he foams at the mouth and gnashes his teeth, and becomes rigid. Indeed, I spoke to your disciples, that they might cast it out, but they could not.” ¹⁹ But He answered him by saying: “O unbelieving generation, how long shall I be with you, how long shall I put up with you? Bring him to me!” ²⁰ So they brought him to Him. Upon seeing Him the spirit convulsed him, and falling to the ground he started wallowing, foaming at the mouth. ²¹ Then He asked his father, “How long has this been happening to him?” And he said: “From childhood. ²² Really, it has often thrown him both into fire and into water to destroy him. But if you can do anything, have compassion on us and help us.”

²² Really, it has often thrown him both into fire and into water to destroy him. But if you can do anything, have compassion on us and help us.” ²³ Jesus said to him, “It’s ‘if you can believe’; all things are possible to the one who believes”.

²³ Jesus said to him, “It’s ‘if you can believe’; all things are possible to the one who believes”. ²⁴ Immediately the father of the child cried out and said, with tears, “Lord, I believe; help my unbelief!”

²⁴ Immediately the father of the child cried out and said, with tears, “Lord, I believe; help my unbelief!” ²⁵ When Jesus saw that the crowd was running up, He rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it, “You mute and deaf spirit, I am commanding you, get out of him and never enter him again”. ²⁶ Then it yelled, convulsed him violently, and came out. Well he looked to be dead; so much so that many said, “He’s dead”. ²⁷ But Jesus took him by the hand and lifted him up, and he stayed on his feet.

²⁷ But Jesus took him by the hand and lifted him up, and he stayed on his feet.

⁴⁶ They came to Jericho. Then as He was going out from Jericho, with His disciples and a large crowd, the blind Bartimaeus (son of Timaeus) was sitting by the roadside begging. ⁴⁷ And when he heard that it was Jesus the Natsorean, he began to call out and say, “O Son of David, Jesus, have mercy on me!” ⁴⁸ Many started telling him to shut up, but he started calling out even louder, “Son of David, have mercy on me!”

⁵² So Jesus said to him, “Go; your faith has healed you”. And immediately he could see, and followed Jesus on the road.

¹⁰ “Blessed is the Kingdom of our father David that is coming in the name of the Lord!” “Hosanna in the highest!”

¹⁵ Should we pay, or should we not?” But knowing their hypocrisy, He said to them: “Why are you testing me? Bring me a denarius to look at.”

²⁶ But concerning the dead, that they rise, have you not read in the book of Moses, about the Bush, how God spoke to him, saying, ‘I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’?

³⁵ Then, teaching in the temple, Jesus reacted by saying: “How is it that the scribes say that the Messiah is David’s son? ³⁶ Because David himself said by the Holy Spirit: ‘The LORD said to my Lord, “Sit at my right hand, until I place your enemies as a stool for your feet”.’ ³⁷ Therefore David himself calls Him ‘Lord’; so how can He be his son?” The large crowd listened to Him with pleasure.

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

¹⁵ Then He said to them: “Go to the whole world and proclaim the Gospel to all creation.

⁴³ But He said to them, “I must proclaim the good news of the Kingdom of God to the other towns also, because for this purpose I have been sent”. ⁴⁴ So He went preaching in the synagogues of Galilee.

¹⁴ Then He ordered him to tell no one, “But go and show yourself to the priest and make an offering for your cleansing just as Moses prescribed, as a testimony to 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. 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. ²⁰ Seeing their faith He said to him, “Man, your sins are forgiven you!” ²¹ So the scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying: “Who is this who speaks blasphemies? Who can forgive sins but God alone?”

²¹ So the scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying: “Who is this who speaks blasphemies? Who can forgive sins but God alone?” ²² But Jesus perceived their reasonings and reacted by saying to them: “Why are you reasoning in your hearts?

²² But Jesus perceived their reasonings and reacted by saying to them: “Why are you reasoning in your hearts? ²³ Which is easier to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven you’, or to say, ‘Get up and walk!’?

²³ Which is easier to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven you’, or to say, ‘Get up and walk!’? ²⁴ But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins”—He said to the paralyzed man: “I say to you, get up! Take your cot and go to your house.”

²⁴ But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins”—He said to the paralyzed man: “I say to you, get up! Take your cot and go to your house.” ²⁵ Immediately he stood up in front of them, took up what he had been lying on, and set out to his own house glorifying God.

²⁵ Immediately he stood up in front of them, took up what he had been lying on, and set out to his own house glorifying God. ²⁶ Amazement gripped them all and they kept glorifying God; they were also filled with fear, saying, “We have seen strange things today!” ²⁷ After these things He went out and saw a tax collector named Levi sitting at the tax office; and He said to him, “Follow me!” ²⁸ So leaving everything he got up and followed Him. ²⁹ Then Levi made a great banquet for Him at his house; and there was a large crowd of tax collectors and others who were reclining with them.

²⁹ Then Levi made a great banquet for Him at his house; and there was a large crowd of tax collectors and others who were reclining with them. ³⁰ Well the scribes and Pharisees complained about them to His disciples, saying, “How can you eat and drink with the tax collectors and sinners?!”

³⁰ Well the scribes and Pharisees complained about them to His disciples, saying, “How can you eat and drink with the tax collectors and sinners?!”

³⁰ Well the scribes and Pharisees complained about them to His disciples, saying, “How can you eat and drink with the tax collectors and sinners?!” ³¹ So Jesus reacted and said to them: “Those who are healthy have no need of a physician, just those who are sick.

³¹ So Jesus reacted and said to them: “Those who are healthy have no need of a physician, just those who are sick.

³¹ So Jesus reacted and said to them: “Those who are healthy have no need of a physician, just those who are sick. ³² I have not come to call righteous people to repentance, just sinners.”

³² I have not come to call righteous people to repentance, just sinners.”

³² I have not come to call righteous people to repentance, just sinners.” ³³ Then they said to Him, “Why do the disciples of John fast often and make prayers, and likewise those of the Pharisees, but yours keep eating and drinking?”

³³ Then they said to Him, “Why do the disciples of John fast often and make prayers, and likewise those of the Pharisees, but yours keep eating and drinking?” ³⁴ So He said to them: “Can you make the friends of the bridegroom fast while the bridegroom is with them?

³⁴ So He said to them: “Can you make the friends of the bridegroom fast while the bridegroom is with them? ³⁵ But days are coming when the bridegroom will be taken away from them; then, in those days, they will fast.”

³⁵ But days are coming when the bridegroom will be taken away from them; then, in those days, they will fast.” ³⁶ Then He also told them a parable: “No one puts a patch from a new garment on an old one; otherwise, both the new makes a tear and that from the new does not match the old.

³⁶ Then He also told them a parable: “No one puts a patch from a new garment on an old one; otherwise, both the new makes a tear and that from the new does not match the old. ³⁷ And no one puts new wine into old wineskins; otherwise the new wine will burst those skins and will itself be spilled and the skins wasted.

³⁷ And no one puts new wine into old wineskins; otherwise the new wine will burst those skins and will itself be spilled and the skins wasted. ³⁸ Rather, new wine must be put into new wineskins, and both are preserved.

³⁸ Rather, new wine must be put into new wineskins, and both are preserved. ³⁹ Further, no one having drunk old wine immediately desires new, for he says, ‘The old is better’.”

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.

¹² Now it happened in those days that He went out to the mountain to pray, and He continued all night in prayer to God. ¹³ When it was day He called His disciples, and from them He chose twelve, whom He also named apostles:

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

² Well a certain centurion’s slave, who was valuable to him, was sick and about to die.

⁹ Well upon hearing these things Jesus marveled at him, and turning to the crowd following Him, He said, “I say to you, not even in Israel have I found such great faith!”

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!”

²¹ Well in that very hour He healed many from diseases and torments and malignant spirits, and to many blind He granted sight.

³² They are like children sitting in the marketplace and calling to one another, saying, ‘We played the flute for you, and you did not dance; we mourned to you, and you did not cry’.

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”.

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?” ⁵⁰ Then He said to the woman, “Your faith has saved you; go into peace.”

⁵⁰ Then He said to the woman, “Your faith has saved you; go into peace.”

³⁷ Then the whole multitude from the surrounding region of the Gadarenes asked Him to depart from them, because they were overcome by fear. So He got into the boat and returned.

⁴¹ And then, there came a man named Jairus, and he was a ruler of the synagogue; he fell down at Jesus’ feet and started begging Him to come to his house, ⁴² because he had an only daughter, about twelve years old, and she was dying. Now as He was going, the crowds were pressing against Him. ⁴³ And a woman—suffering with a flow of blood for twelve years, who had spent her whole livelihood on physicians, but could not be healed by any—

⁴³ And a woman—suffering with a flow of blood for twelve years, who had spent her whole livelihood on physicians, but could not be healed by any— ⁴⁴ approaching from behind touched the border of His garment; and immediately the flow of her blood stopped! ⁴⁵ So Jesus said, “Who touched me?” When all denied it, Peter and those with him said: “Master, the people are pressing against you and crowding in, and you say, ‘Who touched me?’”

⁴⁵ So Jesus said, “Who touched me?” When all denied it, Peter and those with him said: “Master, the people are pressing against you and crowding in, and you say, ‘Who touched me?’” ⁴⁶ But Jesus said, “Someone did touch me, because I noticed power going out from me”.

⁴⁶ But Jesus said, “Someone did touch me, because I noticed power going out from me”. ⁴⁷ Now when the woman saw that she could not hide, she came trembling, and falling down before Him she told Him in the presence of all the people the reason why she had touched Him, and how she was healed immediately.

⁴⁷ Now when the woman saw that she could not hide, she came trembling, and falling down before Him she told Him in the presence of all the people the reason why she had touched Him, and how she was healed immediately. ⁴⁸ So He said: “Courage, daughter, your faith has healed you. Go into peace.”

⁴⁸ So He said: “Courage, daughter, your faith has healed you. Go into peace.” ⁴⁹ While He was still speaking, here came someone from the synagogue ruler’s house, saying to him: “Your daughter has died. Don’t bother the teacher.”

⁴⁹ While He was still speaking, here came someone from the synagogue ruler’s house, saying to him: “Your daughter has died. Don’t bother the teacher.” ⁵⁰ But upon hearing it Jesus reacted by saying to him, “Don’t be afraid; just believe and she will be healed”.

⁵⁰ But upon hearing it Jesus reacted by saying to him, “Don’t be afraid; just believe and she will be healed”. ⁵¹ When He arrived at the house, He allowed no one to go in except Peter, John, James, the father of the child, and her mother.

⁵¹ When He arrived at the house, He allowed no one to go in except Peter, John, James, the father of the child, and her mother. ⁵² Now all were weeping and mourning for her; but He said, “Do not weep; she is not dead, but sleeping”. ⁵³ They started ridiculing Him, knowing that she had died. ⁵⁴ So He put them all outside, and grasping her hand He called, saying, “Child, arise!”

⁵⁴ So He put them all outside, and grasping her hand He called, saying, “Child, arise!” ⁵⁵ Then her spirit returned, and she got right up! And He directed that she be given something to eat. ⁵⁶ Her parents were astonished, but He charged them to tell no one what had happened.

⁵⁶ Her parents were astonished, but He charged them to tell no one what had happened.

¹¹ But the crowds, being aware, followed Him. So He received them and started speaking to them about the Kingdom of God, and He cured those who needed healing.

⁴⁶ Then an argument started among them as to which of them would be the greatest. ⁴⁷ So Jesus, perceiving the reasoning of their heart, took a little child and had him stand beside Him,

¹ Now after these things, the Lord appointed seventy others also, and sent them two by two ahead of Him to every town and place where He Himself was about to go. ² Then He said to them: “The harvest is indeed great, but the workers are few; therefore pray to the Lord of the harvest that He may send out workers into His harvest.

² Then He said to them: “The harvest is indeed great, but the workers are few; therefore pray to the Lord of the harvest that He may send out workers into His harvest.

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

¹⁴ Then He was casting out a demon, and it was mute. As a result, when the demon had gone out the mute spoke! And the crowds marveled. ¹⁵ But some of them said, “It’s by Beelzebul, the ruler of the demons, that he casts out demons”.

¹⁷ But He, knowing their thoughts, said to them: “Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation, and a house divided against itself falls.

¹¹ He saw a woman there who had been crippled by a spirit for eighteen years—she was bent over and could not straighten up. ¹² So He called her over and said to her, “Woman, you are loosed from your infirmity!” ¹³ He placed His hands on her and immediately she was made straight and started glorifying God.

¹³ He placed His hands on her and immediately she was made straight and started glorifying God. ¹⁴ But the ruler of the synagogue reacted with indignation, because Jesus had healed on the Sabbath, and he said to the crowd, “There are six days in which one should work; therefore come and be healed on them, and not on the Sabbath”.

²² He was traveling through various towns and villages, teaching and journeying toward Jerusalem.

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. ⁸ “Or what woman having ten silver coins, if she loses one coin, does not light a lamp, sweep the house, and search carefully until she finds it? ⁹ And when she finds it, she calls together her friends and neighbors saying, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found the coin that I lost!’ ¹⁰ Just so, I say to you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.”

¹³ They called out, saying, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!”

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

¹⁵ Well one of them, when he saw that he was healed, returned, glorifying God with a loud voice; ¹⁶ then he fell on his face at His feet, thanking Him—and he was a Samaritan!

¹⁹ Then He said to him, “Get up and go; your faith has made you well.”

⁹ Then He told this parable to some who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised the rest: ¹⁰ “Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. 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.

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.’

¹² I fast twice a week; I tithe all that I get.’ ¹³ The tax collector, staying a good ways off, did not even venture to look up to heaven, but started beating on his chest, saying, ‘God, be merciful to me a sinner!’

¹⁸ A certain ruler asked Him, saying, “Good teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?”

³⁸ Well he shouted, saying, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!” ³⁹ Those who led the way started reproving him, to shut him up; but he kept calling out all the more, “Son of David, have mercy on me!”

⁴² Then Jesus said to him: “See again! Your faith has made you well.”

² A man named Zacchaeus was there—he was a chief tax collector, and he was wealthy! ³ He was trying to see who Jesus was, but could not because of the crowd, because he was short. ⁴ And running on ahead he climbed up into a sycamore tree, in order to see Him, since He was about to pass by there. ⁵ And when Jesus came to the place, He looked up and saw him, and said to him, “Zacchaeus, come down quickly, because today I must stay at your house”. ⁶ So he came down quickly, and received Him joyfully. ⁷ But when they saw it, they all started complaining, saying, “He has entered to lodge with a sinful man!”

⁷ But when they saw it, they all started complaining, saying, “He has entered to lodge with a sinful man!” ⁸ Then Zacchaeus stood and said to the Lord, “Indeed, Lord, I herewith give half of my goods to the poor, and if I have extorted anything from anyone, I restore fourfold”. ⁹ So Jesus said about him, “Today salvation has happened in this house, in that he also is a son of Abraham; ¹⁰ because the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost.”

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

⁴¹ Then He said to them: “How is it that they say that the Messiah is David’s Son?

⁴⁷ Well upon seeing what had happened, the centurion glorified God, saying, “Certainly this man was righteous!”

¹³ And then that same day two of them were going to a village called Emmaus, which was about seven miles from Jerusalem. ¹⁴ And they were conversing with each other about all that had happened. ¹⁵ And then, as they were conversing and discussing, Jesus Himself came up and started going with them. ¹⁶ But their eyes were restrained, in order that they not recognize Him. ¹⁷ So He said to them, “What words are these that you are exchanging with one another as you walk, and are gloomy?” ¹⁸ Then the one whose name was Cleopas answered and said to Him, “Are you the only one living in Jerusalem who doesn’t know the things that have happened there in these days?” ¹⁹ He said to them, “What things?” So they said to Him: “The things concerning Jesus the Natsorean, how the man was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people, ²⁰ and how the chief priests and our rulers handed him over to be condemned to death, and they crucified him. ²¹ And we were hoping that it was He who was going to redeem Israel! Further, besides all this, today is the third day since these things happened.

⁴⁷ and that repentance and forgiveness of sins should be proclaimed in His name to all the nations, beginning from Jerusalem.

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.

²⁰ For whoever practices evil hates the light and doesn’t come to the light so that his deeds may not be exposed.

²⁵ Then some of John’s disciples had an argument with a Judean about purification.

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.

¹ Now when Jesus knew that the Pharisees had heard, “Jesus is making and baptizing more disciples than John”

³⁴ Jesus says to them: “My food is to do the will of Him who sent me and to complete His work. ³⁵ Don’t you say, ‘There are four months before the harvest comes’? Well I say, Look! Lift your eyes and observe the fields; they are white for harvest already! ³⁶ Now he who reaps receives pay and gathers fruit into eternal life, so that both he who sows and he who reaps may rejoice together.

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. ⁴⁸ So Jesus said to him, “Unless you people see signs and wonders you won’t believe!”

⁴⁸ So Jesus said to him, “Unless you people see signs and wonders you won’t believe!” ⁴⁹ The official says to Him, “Sir, come down before my child dies!”

⁴⁹ The official says to Him, “Sir, come down before my child dies!” ⁵⁰ Jesus says to him, “Go; your son lives.” Well the man believed the word that Jesus spoke to him and off he went.

⁵³ So the father knew that it was at the exact hour in which Jesus told him, “Your son lives.” Both he himself and his whole household believed.

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. 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’.” ¹² So they asked him, “Who is the man who said to you, ‘Pick up your pallet and walk’?” ¹³ But the man who was cured didn’t know who it was, because Jesus had disappeared, there being a crowd in the place. 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.” ¹⁸ So because of this they wanted to kill Him all the more, because He was not only breaking the Sabbath but was even saying that God was His own Father, making Himself equal with God!

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.

⁶¹ So Jesus, knowing in Himself that His disciples were complaining about this, said to them, “Does this offend you?

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.)

⁴² Doesn’t the Scripture say that the Christ comes out of the seed of David and from the town of Bethlehem, where David was?”

¹ Now as He was passing by He saw a man blind from birth. ² And His disciples asked Him saying, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, in that he was born blind?” ³ Jesus answered: “Neither this man nor his parents sinned, but so that the works of God might be displayed in him. ⁴ I must accomplish the works of Him who sent me while it is day; night is coming when no one can work. 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.

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.

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.

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?”

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!”

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?”

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!”

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!” ¹² Then they said to him, “Where is He?” He says, “I don’t know.”

¹² Then they said to him, “Where is He?” He says, “I don’t know.” ¹³ They bring the man who was formerly blind to the Pharisees. ¹⁴ (Now it was a Sabbath when Jesus made the mud and opened his eyes.) ¹⁵ So once again the Pharisees also asked him how he had received his sight. So he said to them, “He put mud on my eyes, and I washed, and I see.” 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. ¹⁷ So they address the blind man again, “What do you say about him, in that he opened your eyes?” He said, “He is a prophet.” ¹⁸ However the Jews did not believe concerning him that he was blind and received sight until they summoned the parents of the one who had received sight. ¹⁹ And they asked them saying, “Is this your son, whom you say was born blind? How then does he now see?” ²⁰ So his parents answered them and said: “We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind; ²¹ but by what means he now sees we don’t know, or who opened his eyes we don’t know. He is of age. Ask him. He will speak for himself.” ²² His parents said these things because they feared the Jews, because the Jews had already agreed that if anyone confessed Him to be Christ he would be barred from the synagogue. ²³ That’s why his parents said, “He is of age; ask him.” ²⁴ So they summoned the man who had been blind a second time and said to him, “Give glory to God! We know that this man is a sinner.” ²⁵ So he answered and said, “That He is a sinner, I do not know. One thing I do know, that having been blind I now see!” ²⁶ So they said to him again, “What did he do to you? How did he open your eyes?”

³¹ Now we know that God doesn’t listen to sinners; but if anyone is God-fearing and does His will, to him He listens.

²⁸ And I give them eternal life, and they will never ever be wasted; and no one will snatch them out of my hand.

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!” ³⁴ Jesus answered them: “Is it not written in your law, ‘I said, you are gods’?

³⁴ Jesus answered them: “Is it not written in your law, ‘I said, you are gods’? ³⁵ If He called them ‘gods’ to whom the Word of God came—and the Scripture cannot be broken — 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’?

⁴ Upon hearing it Jesus said, “This sickness is not unto death but for the glory of God, so that the Son of God may be glorified through it.”

¹¹ Having said these things He says to them, “Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep, but I am going in order to awaken him.” ¹² His disciples said to Him, “Lord, if he is sleeping he will get well.” ¹³ But Jesus had spoken of his death, while they thought He was talking about natural sleep.

²¹ Then Martha said to Jesus: “Lord, if You had been here my brother would not have died. ²² But even now I know that whatever You ask of God, God will give You.”

²⁵ Jesus said to her: “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes into me, though he may die, will live; ²⁶ and everyone who both lives and believes into me will never ever die. Do you believe this?”

³² Then, when Mary came where Jesus was, upon seeing Him she fell at His feet, saying to Him, “Lord, if You had been here my brother wouldn’t have died!”

⁴⁰ Jesus says to her, “Did I not say to you that if you believe you will see the glory of God?”

⁸ My Father is glorified by this: that you produce much fruit; and you will become disciples to me .

⁶ But because I have said these things to you sorrow has filled your heart.

¹² “I still have many things to say to you but you can’t bear it now.

¹⁹ Well Jesus knew that they were wanting to question Him and said to them: “Are you inquiring among yourselves about what I said, ‘In just a little you won’t see me, and in another little you will see me’? ²⁰ Most assuredly I say to you that you will weep and lament, but the world will rejoice; you will become grieved, but your grief will be turned into joy. ²¹ When a woman gives birth she has pain, because her time has come; but when the child is born she no longer remembers the anguish, for joy that a human being has been born into the world. ²² So in your turn you are now experiencing grief, but I will see you again and your heart will rejoice, and no one will take your joy from you.

³⁰ Now we know that you know everything and don’t need anyone to question you. By this we believe that you came forth from God.”

³³ I have spoken these things to you so that in me you may have peace. In the world you have oppression; but take heart, I have conquered the world!”

² just as You gave Him authority over all humanity, so that He will give eternal life to all those whom You have given Him.

²¹ So Jesus said to them again: “Peace to you! Just as the Father sent me, I also send you.”

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.”

⁵ Then Jesus says to them, “Boys, you don’t have any food, do you?” They answered Him, “No.”

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. ¹⁰ And as they were staring into the sky, while He was going, suddenly two men in white clothing stood beside them;

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.

²² “Men of Israel, listen to these words: Jesus the Natsorean, a man from God attested to you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by Him in your midst, as you yourselves well know,

³⁸ So Peter said to them: “Repent and be baptized, each one of you, upon the name of Jesus Christ, for forgiveness of sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

⁶ But Peter said: “I don’t have silver and gold, but what I do have I give you. In the name of Jesus Christ the Natsorean, get up and walk!” ⁷ And grasping him by his right hand he lifted him up; immediately his feet and ankles were strengthened. ⁸ So jumping up he stood, and began to walk! And he entered the temple with them, walking and leaping and praising God. ⁹ Well all the people saw him walking and praising God; ¹⁰ and they recognized him—that he was the one who used to sit at the Beautiful Gate of the temple, with a view to alms—and they were filled with wonder and amazement because of what had happened to him. ¹¹ Now as the lame man who had been healed held on to Peter and John, all the people ran together to them in the portico, the one called ‘Solomon’s’, really wondering.

¹⁶ Well His name, based on faith in His name, made this man strong, whom you see and know. Yes, the faith that is through Him has given him this wholeness in the presence of you all.

¹⁹ Repent therefore, and turn around, so that your sins may be erased, in order that times of refreshing may come from the Lord’s face

⁹ If we are being examined today about a good deed done to a helpless man, by what means he has been made well, ¹⁰ be it known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ the Natsorean, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead, by Him this man stands here before you whole.

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? ⁴ While it remained unsold was it not yours, and once sold was it not in your power? How is it that you have conceived this thing in your heart? You did not lie to men but to God.”

⁹ Peter said to her: “How is it that you have agreed together to test the Spirit of the Lord? Look, the feet of those who buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out.”

¹⁵ to the point that they kept carrying the sick into the streets, placing them on cots and pallets, so that as Peter came by at least his shadow might fall on some of them.

¹⁵ to the point that they kept carrying the sick into the streets, placing them on cots and pallets, so that as Peter came by at least his shadow might fall on some of them. ¹⁶ Further, the multitude from the surrounding cities also kept coming into Jerusalem, bringing sick people and those who were tormented by unclean spirits, and they were all healed.

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

¹¹ Then they instigated men to say, “We have heard him speaking blasphemous words against Moses and God.” ¹² And they stirred up the people, and the elders and the scribes; and coming upon him they seized him, and brought him in to the Sanhedrin; ¹³ and they put forward false witnesses who said: “This man never stops speaking blasphemous words against the holy place and the law;

⁵⁹ Yes, they stoned Stephen as he called out and said, “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit”. ⁶⁰ Then kneeling down he called out at the top of his voice, “Lord, don’t hold this sin against them!” And upon saying this he fell asleep. (Saul was in full agreement with his murder.)

⁴ So on their part those who were scattered abroad went about preaching the Word.

²⁰ But Peter said to him: “May your silver go with you into perdition, for thinking that the gift of God could be acquired with money! ²¹ You have neither part nor portion in this matter, because your heart is not right before God. ²² Turn away therefore from this your wickedness and make petition to God, in case the intent of your heart may be forgiven you;

³⁴ Peter said to him: “Aeneas, Jesus the Messiah is healing you. Get up and make your bed!” And immediately he stood up!

³⁹ So Peter got up and went with them; upon arriving they took him up to the upper room; all the widows stood around him weeping and showing the coats and garments that Dorcas was making while she was with them. ⁴⁰ So Peter put them all out, kneeled down and prayed. Turning to the body he said, “Tabitha, get up!” So she opened her eyes, and upon seeing Peter she sat up.

⁴⁰ So Peter put them all out, kneeled down and prayed. Turning to the body he said, “Tabitha, get up!” So she opened her eyes, and upon seeing Peter she sat up. ⁴¹ Then he gave her a hand and lifted her up, and calling the saints and widows he presented her alive.

²⁵ So when Peter actually arrived, Cornelius met him, fell at his feet and worshipped. ²⁶ But Peter lifted him up, saying, “Stand up! I myself am also a man.”

³⁸ Jesus of Natsareth, how God anointed Him with Holy Spirit and power, who went about doing good and healing all those being oppressed by the devil, because God was with Him

¹⁸ Upon hearing these things they acquiesced and started glorifying God, saying, “So then, God has also granted to the Gentiles repentance into life!”

¹ Now in the congregation that was in Antioch there were certain prophets and teachers: Barnabas, Simeon (the one called Niger), Lucius the Cyrenian, Manaen (who had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch), and Saul. 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!”

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.

¹⁵ After the reading of the Law and the Prophets, the synagogue leaders sent to them, saying, “Men, brothers, if you have a word of encouragement for the people, do speak”.

³⁸ Therefore, let it be known to you, men, brothers, that through this One forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you; ³⁹ and by Him everyone who believes is justified from everything you could not be justified from by the Law of Moses.

⁸ Well in Lystra a certain man with helpless feet was sitting (lame from his mother’s womb, who had never walked). ⁹ This man was listening to Paul speaking; who looking intently at him and seeing that he had faith to be healed,

⁹ This man was listening to Paul speaking; who looking intently at him and seeing that he had faith to be healed, ¹⁰ said with a loud voice, “Stand up straight on your feet!” And the man jumped up and began to walk! ¹¹ Now when the crowd saw what Paul had done, they raised their voices, saying in Lycaonian, “The gods have come down to us in the likeness of men!”

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.

⁹ A vision appeared to Paul during the night: a man of Macedonia was standing, appealing to him and saying, “Come over to Macedonia and help us”.

¹⁸ She kept this up for many days! So Paul, becoming increasingly annoyed, turned and said to the spirit, “I command you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her!” And it came out that very hour.

³⁰ Such times of ignorance God did indeed overlook, but now He commands all people everywhere to repent, ³¹ because He has appointed a day in which He will judge the inhabited world in righteousness by the Man whom He has ordained; He has given assurance of this to all by raising Him from the dead.”

¹⁰ because I am with you and no one will attack you to harm you, because I have many people in this city.”

¹² so that even handkerchiefs or aprons that he touched were applied to the sick, and the diseases left them and the wicked spirits went out from them.

¹⁰ So Paul went down, threw himself on him and embracing him said, “Don’t be distressed, because his life is in him!”

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

²⁰ But after listening they ‘glorified’ the Lord by saying to him: “You see, brother, how many tens of thousands are the Jews who have believed, and they are all zealous for the law;

¹⁸ to open their eyes, so as to bring them back from darkness into light and from the authority of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among those who are sanctified, by faith into me.’ ¹⁹ Therefore, King Agrippa, I was not disobedient to the heavenly vision 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’.

²⁶ For the king knows about these things, before whom I speak freely; for I am convinced that none of this has escaped his notice, since it was not done in a corner.

³ concerning His Son, who became a physical descendant of David,

⁴ Or do you scorn the riches of His kindness, tolerance and longsuffering, not recognizing that the goodness of God is leading you toward repentance? ⁵ Rather, due to your hardness and unrepentant heart, you are treasuring up wrath for yourself in the day of God’s wrath and revelation and righteous judgment, ⁶ who will repay each one according to his works:

¹⁰ Just as it is written: “No one is righteous, not even one; ¹¹ there is no one who understands, no one who seeks God. ¹² All have turned aside, together they have been made useless; there is no one who shows kindness, no, not so much as one.” ¹³ “Their throat is an opened grave; they habitually deceive with their tongues.” “Viper’s venom is under their lips”; ¹⁴ “whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness.” ¹⁵ “Their feet are swift to shed blood; ¹⁶ ruin and wretchedness are in their paths, ¹⁷ and the way of peace they have not known.” ¹⁸ “There is no fear of God before their eyes.” ¹⁹ Now we know that whatever the law says, it speaks to those who are under the law, so that every mouth may be shut and the whole world become accountable to God. ²⁰ It follows that no flesh will be justified in His sight by the works of the law, because through the law comes the knowledge of sin. ²¹ But now, apart from law, a righteousness from God has been revealed, being attested by the Law and the Prophets, ²² namely, a righteousness from God through faith in Jesus Christ, to all and upon all those who believe. There is no difference: ²³ all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, ²⁴ being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus;

⁶ Just as David speaks of the blessing of the man to whom God credits righteousness apart from works: ⁷ “Blessed are they whose lawless deeds have been forgiven, and whose sins have been covered up. ⁸ Blessed is the man to whom the LORD will not impute sin!”

¹¹ No wonder we rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation!

⁹ Once upon a time, without law, I was actually ‘alive’; but when the commandment came, the sin came to life and I died. ¹⁰ Yes, the commandment that was to bring me life turned out to bring death. ¹¹ Because the sin, grasping an opportunity through the commandment, completely deceived me, and used it to ‘kill’ me. ¹² So then, the law itself is holy, and the commandment is holy and righteous and good. ¹³ So has what is good become death to me? Of course not! Rather the sin, that it might be exposed as sin, was producing death in me through what is good, so that through the commandment the sin might become extremely sinful. ¹⁴ We know that the law is spiritual, but I am fleshly, having been ‘sold’ under sin ¹⁵ —you see, I don’t understand what I’m doing: I don’t practice what I want to do, but I do what I hate! ¹⁶ But if I do what I don’t want to do, I agree with the law that it is good. ¹⁷ So now it is no longer I who am doing it, but the sin dwelling in me. ¹⁸ Further, I know that nothing good dwells in me, that is, in my flesh; because to will is present with me, but I don’t find how to perform the good. ¹⁹ Because I don’t do the good that I want to do; rather I practice the evil that I don’t want to do. ²⁰ Now if I do what I don’t want to do, it is no longer I who do it, but the sin dwelling in me. ²¹ So I find this ‘law’, when I want to do good, evil is right there with me. ²² I joyfully agree with God’s law according to the inner man, ²³ but I see a different ‘law’ in my body parts, warring against the law of my mind and taking me captive to the law of the sin that is in my body parts. ²⁴ What a wretched man I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death?

⁵ The patriarchs are theirs, and from them came the Christ (the physical part), who is over all, God forever blessed. Amen.

¹ Brothers, I was not able to address you as spiritual, but as fleshly, as infants in Christ. ² I gave you milk and not solid food, because you were not ready yet. Alas, you are still not ready,

⁹ Yes, we are God’s coworkers; you are God’s ‘field’, God’s ‘building’.

⁹ I wrote to you in my letter not to associate with fornicators— ¹⁰ not of course the fornicators of this world, or the greedy, or the swindlers, or the idolaters; since then you would have to exit the world! ¹¹ But now I write you not to associate with anyone who calls himself a brother who is a fornicator, or greedy, or an idolater, or abusive, or a drunkard, or a swindler—not even to eat with such.

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.

²⁸ And those whom God has appointed in the Church are: first apostles, second prophets, third teachers; after that miracles, then presents of healings, helps, administrations, kinds of languages.

¹³ For now these three obtain: faith, hope, love; and the greatest of these is love.

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,

²⁰ So then, we are Christ’s ambassadors, as though God were making His appeal through us. We implore you on Christ’s behalf: Be reconciled to God!

¹ So working together we really urge you not to receive God’s grace in vain,

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

¹⁶ to reveal His Son in me so that I might proclaim Him among the nations/Gentiles, I did not start by consulting with flesh and blood,

²⁴ And they glorified God about me.

¹⁵ We natural Jews (and not ‘Gentile sinners’),

⁹ Let us not lose heart while doing good, for we will reap in due season, if we do not give up. ¹⁰ So then, as we have opportunity, let us do what is good toward everyone, but especially toward those who are of the household of faith.

¹¹ Yes, He Himself gave some to be apostles, some to be prophets, some to be evangelists, and some to be pastors and teachers,

³² Rather, be kind to one another, compassionate, forgiving one another, just as in Christ God forgave you.

¹⁹ Now I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you soon, that I also may be encouraged when I know how you are doing. ²⁰ For I have no one else like-minded, who will be genuinely concerned about your welfare ²¹ (for all seek their own interests, not those of Christ Jesus).

¹² Nor have we stopped giving thanks joyfully to the Father who has qualified us for the share in the inheritance of the saints in the Light; ¹³ who delivered us out of the dominion of the darkness and transferred us into the kingdom of the Son of His love, ¹⁴ in whom we have the redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our sins.

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.

¹¹ and Jesus who is called Justus. These are my only fellow workers for the Kingdom of God who are of the circumcision; they have been a comfort to me.

¹² Now we urge you, brothers, to recognize those who labor among you and are over you in the Lord and admonish you, ¹³ and to esteem them very highly in love because of their work. Be at peace among yourselves.

¹ Finally, brothers, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may spread rapidly and be glorified, as also with you,

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.

¹⁷ Let the elders who lead well be counted worthy of a double honorarium, especially those who labor in word and teaching.

²⁵ correcting courteously those who oppose him, in hopes that God may grant them repentance leading to a real knowledge of Truth ²⁶ and that they may retrieve their senses out of the devil’s snare (having been taken captive by him to do his will).

² Really, because we are continually hearing good news just like they did, but the word that they heard did not profit them, since they were not intimately united with the faith of those who obeyed.

¹² Because the Word of God is living and efficient, and sharper than any two-edged sword, actually penetrating to the point of separating soul and spirit, joints and marrow; in fact, it is able to evaluate a heart’s reflections and intentions. 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.

¹⁵ For we do not have a High Priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but He was tested in all points, in similar ways, without sin.

² being able to deal gently with those who sin in ignorance and go astray, since he himself is also subject to weakness.

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].”

⁹ The Lord is not delaying the promise, as some consider delay, but rather is patient toward us, not wishing anyone to perish but all to come into repentance.

¹⁰ If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not receive him into your house; do not even tell him, “I wish you well,”

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.

¹⁷ Because you say, “I am rich, even become wealthy, and have need of nothing,” and do not realize that you are the most wretched—yes, the most pitiable and poor and blind and naked— ¹⁸ I counsel you to buy gold from me, refined by fire, so that you may become rich; and white garments, so that you may be clothed, and your nakedness not be shamefully exposed; and anoint your eyes with eye salve, so that you may see.

⁹ And he says to me, “Write: ‘Blessed are those who are invited to the wedding banquet of the Lamb’.” And he says to me, “These are the true words of God.”

² And I saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared like a bride adorned for her husband.

¹¹ He who acts unjustly let him act unjustly still, and let the filthy one be filthy still, and let the righteous one still practice righteousness, and let the holy one still be sanctified.”
