John 19 Cross References - Worrell

¹ Then Pilate, therefore, took Jesus, and scourged Him. ² And the soldiers, having platted a crown of thorns, placed it upon his head, and put on Him a purple robe; ³ and they kept coming to Him, and saying, "Hail, King of the Jews!" And they were giving Him blows with a rod. ⁴ And Pilate went out again, and says to them, "Behold, I bring Him out to you, that ye may know that I find no fault in Him." ⁵ Jesus, therefore, came forth without, wearing the thorn-crown, and the purple robe. And he says to them, "Behold, the Man!" ⁶ When, therefore, the high priests and the officers saw Him, they cried out, "Crucify! crucify!" Pilate says to them, "Take ye Him, and crucify Him; for I find not a crime in Him." ⁷ The Jews, therefore, answered him, "We have a law, and according to the law He ought to die, because He made Himself God's Son." ⁸ When, therefore, Pilate heard this saying, he was the more afraid; ⁹ and he entered again into the Praetorium, and says to Jesus, "Whence art Thou?" But Jesus gave him no answer. ¹⁰ Pilate, therefore, says to Him, "Dost Thou not speak to me? Knowest Thou not that I have authority to release Thee, and have authority to crucify Thee?" ¹¹ Jesus answered him, "You would have no authority against Me, unless it were given to you from above; on this account, he who delivered Me up to you has greater sin." ¹² In consequence of this, Pilate was seeking to release Him; but the Jews cried out, saying, "If you release this Man, you are not Caesar's friend; every one who makes himself a king speaks against Caesar." ¹³ Pilate, therefore, having heard these words, led Jesus without, and sat down on the judgment-seat at a place called the "Pavement," but, in Hebrew, "Gabbatha." ¹⁴ And it was the Preparation of the passover: it was about the sixth hour. And he says to the Jews, "Behold, your King!" ¹⁵ They, therefore, cried out, "Away with Him! away with Him! Crucify Him!" Pilate says to them, "Shall I crucify your King?" The high priests answered, We have no king but Caesar!" ¹⁶ Then, therefore, he delivered Him up to them to be crucified. ¹⁷ They took Jesus, therefore; and, bearing the cross for Himself, He went forth into the place called "Place of a Skull," which, in Hebrew, is called "Golgotha;" ¹⁸ where they crucified Him, and two others with Him, one on each side, and Jesus in the midst. ¹⁹ And Pilate wrote a title also, and put it on the cross. And the writing was, "JESUS THE NAZARENE, THE KING OF THE JEWS." ²⁰ This title, therefore, many of the Jews read; because the place where Jesus was crucified was nigh to the city; and it was written in Hebrew, in Latin, in Greek. ²¹ The high priests of the Jews, therefore, said to Pilate, "Write not, 'The King of the Jews,' but that He said, I am King of the Jews." ²² Pilate answered, "What I have written, I have written." ²³ The soldiers, therefore, when they crucified Jesus, took His garments, and made four parts, to each soldier a part; and also the coat. And the coat was without a seam, woven from the top throughout. ²⁴ They said, therefore, one to another, "Let us not rend it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be; that the Scripture might be fulfilled, which says, 'They divided My garments among themselves, and upon My vesture did they cast lots.'" The soldiers, therefore, did these things. ²⁵ But there were standing by the cross of Jesus His mother, and His mother's sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene. ²⁶ Jesus, therefore, seeing His mother, and the disciple whom He loved standing by, saith to His mother, "Woman, behold your Son!" ²⁷ Then saith He to the disciple, "Behold, your mother!" And from that hour the disciple took her into his own home. ²⁸ After these things Jesus, knowing that all things have now been finished, that the Scripture might be fulfilled, saith, "I thirst." ²⁹ There was set there a vessel full of vinegar; so, putting a sponge full of vinegar on hyssop, they bore it to His mouth. ³⁰ When, therefore, Jesus received the vinegar, He said, "It has been finished;" and, bowing His head, He delivered up His spirit. ³¹ The Jews, therefore, (since it was the Preparation), that the bodies might not remain on the cross on the sabbath, (for the day of that sabbath was great), asked of Pilate that their legs might be broken, and they be taken away. ³² The soldiers, therefore, came, and broke the legs of the first, and of the other who was crucified with Him; ³³ but, when they came to Jesus, and saw that He was already dead, they broke not His legs; ³⁴ but one of the soldiers with a spear pierced His side, and straightway there came out blood and water. ³⁵ And he who has seen has testified, and his testimony is true; and he knows that he says what is true, that ye also may believe. ³⁶ For these things came to pass, that the Scripture might be fulfilled, "A bone of Him shall not be broken." ³⁷ And again another Scripture says, "They shall look on Him Whom they pierced." ³⁸ And after these things Joseph of Arimathaea, being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly through fear of the Jews, asked of Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus; and Pilate gave him permission. He came, therefore, and took away His body. ³⁹ And there came also Nicodemus, he who at the first came to Him by night, bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pounds. ⁴⁰ So they took the body of Jesus, and bound it in linen cloths with the spices, as the custom of Jews is to bury. ⁴¹ Now in the place where He was crucified there was a garden; and in the garden a new tomb, in which no one had yet been laid. ⁴² There, therefore, on account of the Preparation of the Jews (because the tomb was near), they laid Jesus.

What further need have we of witnesses? Behold, ye just now heard the blasphemy!

Then Pilate ordered it to be given up. ⁵⁹ And, taking the body, Joseph wrapped it in clean linen, ⁶⁰ and laid it in his own new tomb, which he hewed out in the rock; and, having rolled a great stone to the door of the tomb, he went away.

Can he enter a second time into his mother's womb, and he born?" ⁵ Jesus answered, "Verily, verily, I say to you, unless one be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the Kingdom of God. ⁶ That which has been born of the flesh is flesh: and that which has been born of the Spirit is spirit. ⁷ Marvel not that I said to you, ye must be born anew. ⁸ The Spirit breatheth where He willeth; and you hear His voice, but know not whence He cometh, or whither He goeth: so is every one who has been born of the Spirit." ⁹ Nicodemus answered, and said to Him, "How can these things be?" ¹⁰ Jesus answered, and said to him, "Are you a teacher of Israel, and understand not these things? ¹¹ Verily, verily, I say to you, We speak that which We know, and testify to that which We have seen; and ye receive not Our testimony. ¹² If I told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how will ye believe, if I tell you Heavenly things? ¹³ And no one has ascended into Heaven, but He Who descended out of Heaven—the Son of Man [Who is in Heaven]. ¹⁴ And, as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up; ¹⁵ that every one who believes in Him may have eternal life. ¹⁶ For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that every one who believes on Him should not perish, but have eternal life; ¹⁷ for God sent not His Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world may be saved through Him. ¹⁸ He that believes on Him is not judged; he that believes not has been judged already, because he has not believed on the name of the only begotten Son of God. ¹⁹ And this is the judgment, that the Light hath come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the Light; for their works were evil. ²⁰ For every one that practices evil hates the Light, and comes not to the Light, lest his works should be reproved; ²¹ but he that does the truth comes to the Light, that his works may be made manifest, that they have been wrought in God."

²⁷ John answered and said, "A man can receive nothing, unless it has been given to him from Heaven.

¹⁸ For this cause, therefore, the Jews were seeking the more to kill Him, because He not only broke the sabbath, but also called God His Father, making Himself equal with God.

¹³ No one, however, was speaking openly concerning Him, for fear of the Jews.

³⁰ They were seeking, therefore, to seize Him; and no one laid his hand upon Him, because His hour had not yet come.

⁵⁰ Nicodemus says to them (he who came to Him before, being one of them), ⁵¹ "Does our law judge a man, unless it first hear from him, and know what he does?" ⁵² They answered, and said to him, "Are you also of Galilee? Search, and see that out of Galilee arises no prophet."

¹⁴ Jesus answered and said to them, "Even if I do testify concerning Myself, My testimony is true; because I know whence I came, and whither I go; but ye know not whence I came, or whither I go.

⁵⁸ Jesus said to them, "Verily, verily, I say to you, before Abraham existed, I am." ⁵⁹ They took up stones, therefore, to cast at Him; but Jesus was concealed, and went out of the temple.

²² These things said his parents, because they were fearing the Jews; for the Jews had agreed already, that, if any one should confess Him to be Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue.

²⁹ We know that God hath spoken to Moses; but, as to this Man, we know not whence He is." ³⁰ The man answered and said to them, "Why, in this is the wonder, that ye do not know whence He is, and He opened my eyes.

⁴¹ Jesus said to them, "If ye were blind, ye would have no sin; but now ye say, 'We see,' your sin abides."

¹¹ I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his soul for the sheep.

¹⁸ No one takes it from Me, but I lay it down of Myself. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take it again. This commandment I received from My Father.

³⁰ I and the Father are One." ³¹ The Jews took up stones again to stone Him. ³² Jesus answered them, "Many good works did I show you from My Father; for which of those works do ye stone Me?" ³³ The Jews answered Him, "For a good work we stone Thee not, but for blasphemy, and because, Thou, being a Man, makest Thyself God!"

³⁵ If He called them gods to whom the word of God came (and the Scripture cannot be broken), ³⁶ say ye of Him Whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest, because I said, I am the Son of God? ³⁷ If I do not the works of My Father, believe Me not; ³⁸ but, if I do them, even though ye believe not Me, believe the works; that ye may know and understand that the Father is in Me, and I in the Father."

¹⁵ And I am glad, for your sakes, (in order that ye may believe), that I was not there. But let us go to him."

⁴² And I knew that Thou always hearest Me; but, because of the multitude standing around, I said it, that they may believe that Thou didst send Me."

⁴⁴ He that was dead came forth, bound feet and hands with grave-clothes; and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith to them, "Loose him, and let him go."

⁴⁹ But a certain one of them, Caiaphas, being high priest that year, said, "Ye know nothing at all; ⁵⁰ nor do ye consider that it is expedient for you, that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation perish not."

⁷ Jesus, therefore, said, "Suffer her to keep it for the day of My burial;

³⁸ that the word of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which He spake, "Lord, who believed our report, and to whom was the arm of the Lord revealed?" ³⁹ On this account they could not believe, because Isaiah said again,

⁴² Yet, however, even from among the rulers, many believed on Him; but, because of the Pharisees, they did not confess Him, lest they should be put out of the synagogue;

¹ Now, before the feast of the passover, Jesus, knowing that His hour came that He should depart out of this world to the Father, having loved His own who were in the world, He loved them to the end.

⁸ Peter says to Him, "Thou shalt never wash my feet!" Jesus answered him, "If I wash you not, you have no part with Me." ⁹ Simon Peter says to Him, "Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head." ¹⁰ Jesus saith to him, "He who has bathed has no need, except to wash his feet, but is wholly clean; and ye are clean, but not all;"

²³ There was at the table reclining in Jesus' bosom one of His disciples, whom Jesus loved.

²⁹ And now I have told you before it comes to pass; that, when it comes to pass, ye may believe.

²² "Had I not come and spoken to them, they had not had sin; but now they have no excuse for their sin. ²³ He who hates Me hates My Father also. ²⁴ Had I not done among them the works which no other did, they would not have had sin; but now have they both seen and hated both Me and My Father;

²⁷ and ye also testify, because ye are with Me from the beginning."

³² Behold, an hour is coming, and has come, that ye should be scattered, each to his own, and leave Me alone; and I am not alone, because the Father is with Me.

⁴ I glorified Thee on the earth; having completed the work which Thou hast given Me to do.

²⁰ And I do not pray for these only, but for those also who believe on Me through their word; ²¹ that they may all be one, even as Thou, Father, art in Me, and I in Thee, that they also may be in us; that the world may believe that Thou didst send Me.

³ Judas, therefore, having received the band of soldiers and officers from the high priests and the Pharisees, comes thither with lanterns, and torches, and weapons. ⁴ Jesus, therefore, knowing all things that were coming upon Him, went forth, and saith to them, "Whom seek ye?"

²² And, when He had said this, one of the officers standing by gave Jesus a blow with a rod, saying, "Dost Thou answer the high priest thus!"

²⁸ They led Jesus, therefore, from Caiaphas into the Praetorium; and it was early; and they themselves entered not into the Praetorium, that they might not be defiled, but might eat the passover. ²⁹ Pilate, therefore, went out to them, and says, "What accusation do ye bring against this Man?" ³⁰ They answered and said to him, "If this Man were not an evil-doer, we would not have delivered Him up to you." ³¹ Pilate, therefore, said to them, "Take Him yourselves, and judge Him according to your law." The Jews said to him, "It is not lawful for us to kill anyone:"

³¹ Pilate, therefore, said to them, "Take Him yourselves, and judge Him according to your law." The Jews said to him, "It is not lawful for us to kill anyone:" ³² that the word of Jesus might he fulfilled, which He spake, signifying by what manner of death He was about to die.

³² that the word of Jesus might he fulfilled, which He spake, signifying by what manner of death He was about to die. ³³ Pilate, therefore, entered again into the Praetorium, and called Jesus, and said to Him, "Art Thou the King of the Jews?"

³³ Pilate, therefore, entered again into the Praetorium, and called Jesus, and said to Him, "Art Thou the King of the Jews?" ³⁴ Jesus answered, "Do you say this of yourself, or did others tell you concerning Me?" ³⁵ Pilate answered, "Am I a Jew? Thy own nation, and the high priests delivered Thee up to me: what didst Thou do?" ³⁶ Jesus answered, "My Kingdom is not of this world. If My Kingdom were of this world, My servants would fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews; but now My kingdom is not from hence." ³⁷ Pilate, therefore, said to Him, "Art Thou, then, a King?" Jesus answered, "You say that I am a King. To this end have I been born, and to this end have I come into the world, that I should testify to the truth. Every one who is of the truth hears My voice." ³⁸ Pilate says to Him, "What is truth?" And, having said this, he went out again to the Jews, and says to them, "I find no crime in Him. ³⁹ But ye have a custom, that I should release to you one at the passover. Do ye wish, therefore, that I release to you the King of the Jews?"

¹ Then Pilate, therefore, took Jesus, and scourged Him. ² And the soldiers, having platted a crown of thorns, placed it upon his head, and put on Him a purple robe; ³ and they kept coming to Him, and saying, "Hail, King of the Jews!" And they were giving Him blows with a rod. ⁴ And Pilate went out again, and says to them, "Behold, I bring Him out to you, that ye may know that I find no fault in Him." ⁵ Jesus, therefore, came forth without, wearing the thorn-crown, and the purple robe. And he says to them, "Behold, the Man!" ⁶ When, therefore, the high priests and the officers saw Him, they cried out, "Crucify! crucify!" Pilate says to them, "Take ye Him, and crucify Him; for I find not a crime in Him."

⁸ When, therefore, Pilate heard this saying, he was the more afraid;

¹² In consequence of this, Pilate was seeking to release Him; but the Jews cried out, saying, "If you release this Man, you are not Caesar's friend; every one who makes himself a king speaks against Caesar." ¹³ Pilate, therefore, having heard these words, led Jesus without, and sat down on the judgment-seat at a place called the "Pavement," but, in Hebrew, "Gabbatha." ¹⁴ And it was the Preparation of the passover: it was about the sixth hour. And he says to the Jews, "Behold, your King!" ¹⁵ They, therefore, cried out, "Away with Him! away with Him! Crucify Him!" Pilate says to them, "Shall I crucify your King?" The high priests answered, We have no king but Caesar!"

¹⁸ where they crucified Him, and two others with Him, one on each side, and Jesus in the midst. ¹⁹ And Pilate wrote a title also, and put it on the cross. And the writing was, "JESUS THE NAZARENE, THE KING OF THE JEWS."

¹⁹ And Pilate wrote a title also, and put it on the cross. And the writing was, "JESUS THE NAZARENE, THE KING OF THE JEWS." ²⁰ This title, therefore, many of the Jews read; because the place where Jesus was crucified was nigh to the city; and it was written in Hebrew, in Latin, in Greek.

²⁰ This title, therefore, many of the Jews read; because the place where Jesus was crucified was nigh to the city; and it was written in Hebrew, in Latin, in Greek. ²¹ The high priests of the Jews, therefore, said to Pilate, "Write not, 'The King of the Jews,' but that He said, I am King of the Jews."

²¹ The high priests of the Jews, therefore, said to Pilate, "Write not, 'The King of the Jews,' but that He said, I am King of the Jews." ²² Pilate answered, "What I have written, I have written."

²⁴ They said, therefore, one to another, "Let us not rend it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be; that the Scripture might be fulfilled, which says, 'They divided My garments among themselves, and upon My vesture did they cast lots.'" The soldiers, therefore, did these things.

²⁶ Jesus, therefore, seeing His mother, and the disciple whom He loved standing by, saith to His mother, "Woman, behold your Son!"

²⁸ After these things Jesus, knowing that all things have now been finished, that the Scripture might be fulfilled, saith, "I thirst."

³⁰ When, therefore, Jesus received the vinegar, He said, "It has been finished;" and, bowing His head, He delivered up His spirit. ³¹ The Jews, therefore, (since it was the Preparation), that the bodies might not remain on the cross on the sabbath, (for the day of that sabbath was great), asked of Pilate that their legs might be broken, and they be taken away.

³¹ The Jews, therefore, (since it was the Preparation), that the bodies might not remain on the cross on the sabbath, (for the day of that sabbath was great), asked of Pilate that their legs might be broken, and they be taken away. ³² The soldiers, therefore, came, and broke the legs of the first, and of the other who was crucified with Him;

³⁶ For these things came to pass, that the Scripture might be fulfilled, "A bone of Him shall not be broken." ³⁷ And again another Scripture says, "They shall look on Him Whom they pierced."

⁴¹ Now in the place where He was crucified there was a garden; and in the garden a new tomb, in which no one had yet been laid. ⁴² There, therefore, on account of the Preparation of the Jews (because the tomb was near), they laid Jesus.

¹ Now on the first day of the sabbaths Mary Magdelene comes early in the morning while it was yet dark to the tomb, and sees the stone taken out of the tomb. ² She runs, therefore, and comes to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple whom Jesus loved, and says to them, "They took away the Lord out of the tomb, and we know not where they laid Him!"

⁵ and, having stooped to look within, he beholds the linen cloths lying; yet he went not within. ⁶ Simon Peter, therefore, also comes, following him, and he went into the tomb; and beholds the linen cloths lying, ⁷ and the napkin that was on His head, not lying with the linen cloths, but rolled up in a place by itself.

¹¹ But Mary was standing without by the tomb, weeping. So, as she was weeping, she stooped to look into the tomb; ¹² and she beholds two angels in white, sitting, one at the head, and one at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain. ¹³ And they say to her, "Woman, why are you weeping?" She says to them, "Because they took away my Lord, and I know not where they laid Him!" ¹⁴ Having said these things, she turned back, and beholds Jesus standing, and knew not that it was Jesus. ¹⁵ Jesus saith to her, "Woman, why are you weeping? Whom are you seeking?" She, supposing Him to be the gardener, says to Him, "Sir, if thou didst bear Him away, tell me where thou didst lay Him, and I will take Him away!"

¹⁵ Jesus saith to her, "Woman, why are you weeping? Whom are you seeking?" She, supposing Him to be the gardener, says to Him, "Sir, if thou didst bear Him away, tell me where thou didst lay Him, and I will take Him away!" ¹⁶ Jesus saith to her, "Mary!" Turning, she says to Him, in Hebrew, "Rabboni!" (which is to say, Teacher). ¹⁷ Jesus saith to her, "Touch Me not; for I have not yet ascended to My Father; but go to My brethren, and say to them, "I ascend to My Father and your Father, and to My God and your God." ¹⁸ Mary Magdalene comes, proclaiming to the disciples, "I have seen the Lord," and that He spake these things to her.

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

⁷ That disciple, therefore, whom Jesus loved, says to Peter, "It is the Lord!" Simon Peter, therefore, having heard that it was the Lord, girded his outer garment (for he was naked), and cast himself into the sea.

²⁰ Peter, turning about, sees the disciple whom Jesus loved following; who also at the Supper leaned back on Jesus' breast, and said, "Lord, who is he that betrays Thee?"

²⁴ This is the disciple who testifies concerning these things, and wrote these things; and we know that his testimony is true.

²³ This Man, delivered up by the settled counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye, having fastened to the cross, through the hand of lawless ones, did slay:

⁶ But Peter said, "Silver and gold have I none; but what I have, this I give to you. In the name of Jesus Christ, the Nazarene, walk."

¹³ The God of Abraham and Isaac and Jacob, the God of our fathers, glorified His Child Jesus, Whom ye, indeed, delivered up, and denied before Pilate's face, when he gave judgment to release Him;

¹³ The God of Abraham and Isaac and Jacob, the God of our fathers, glorified His Child Jesus, Whom ye, indeed, delivered up, and denied before Pilate's face, when he gave judgment to release Him; ¹⁴ but ye denied the Holy and Righteous One, and asked that a man—a murderer—be granted to you; ¹⁵ and the Prince of life ye killed; Whom God raised from the dead—of which fact we are witnesses.

¹⁹ But Peter and John, answering, said to them, "Whether it is right in the sight of God to hearken to you, rather than to God, judge ye;

²⁸ to do whatsoever Thy hand and Thy counsel predetermined to come to pass.

⁶ but the young men, rising up, wrapped him round; and, bearing him out, buried him.

⁵² Which of the prophets did your fathers not persecute? And they killed those who declared beforehand concerning the coming of the Righteous One—of Whom just now ye became the betrayers and murderers;

⁵⁸ and, having thrust him forth outside of the city, they kept stoning him! And the witnesses laid their garments at the feet of a young man called Saul.

³² Now the passage of the Scripture which he was reading was this: "He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; and, as a lamb dumb before its shearer, so He openeth not His mouth. ³³ In His humiliation, His judgment was taken away; His generation who shall declare? because His life is being taken away from the earth."

³⁹ And we are witnesses of all things which He did both in the country of the Jews and in Jerusalem; Whom they also slew, hanging Him on a tree.

²⁷ For those dwelling in Jerusalem, and their rulers, not knowing Him, nor the voices of the prophets which are being read every sabbath, fulfilled them, in having condemned Him;

²⁷ For those dwelling in Jerusalem, and their rulers, not knowing Him, nor the voices of the prophets which are being read every sabbath, fulfilled them, in having condemned Him; ²⁸ and, though finding not one cause of death, they asked of Pilate that He should be slain. ²⁹ And, when they fulfilled all things that were written concerning Him, having taken Him down from the tree, they laid Him in a tomb.

²⁹ And, when they fulfilled all things that were written concerning Him, having taken Him down from the tree, they laid Him in a tomb.

¹¹ And the multitudes, seeing what Paul did, lifted up their voice in the language of Lycaonia, saying, "The gods, made like to men, came down to us!" ¹² And they were calling Barnabas, Jupiter; and Paul, Mercury, since he was the chief speaker. ¹³ And the priest of Jupiter whose temple was before the city, having brought oxen and garlands to the gates, together with the multitudes, was wishing to offer sacrifice. ¹⁴ But the apostles, Barnabas and Paul, hearing of it, having rent their garments, leaped forth among the multitude, crying out, ¹⁵ and saying, "Men, why do ye these things? We also are men of like nature with you, proclaiming to you glad tidings, that ye should turn from these vanities to the living God, Who made the heaven, and the earth, and the sea, and all things that are in them; ¹⁶ Who, in the past generations, suffered all the nations to walk in their own ways; ¹⁷ and yet He left not Himself without witness, doing good, giving you rains from heaven, and fruitful seasons, filling your hearts with food and gladness." ¹⁸ And, saying these things, they with difficulty restrained the multitude from offering sacrifice to them. ¹⁹ But there came thither Jews from Antioch and Iconium; and, having persuaded the multitudes, and having stoned Paul, they drew him outside the city, supposing him to have died.

²² And the multitude rose up together against them; and the magistrates, having torn off their garments, were giving orders to beat them with rods; ²³ and, having laid upon them many stripes, they thrust them into prison, charging the jailer to keep them safely;

⁶ But, not finding them, they dragged Jason and certain brethren before the rulers of the city, shouting, "These who turned the inhabited earth upside down are present here also; ⁷ whom Jason has received; and these all are acting contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying that "There is Another King—Jesus!"

³⁶ for the throng of the people was following after, crying out, "Away with him!" ³⁷ And, when about to be led into the castle, Paul says to the chief captain, "May I say something to you?" And he said, "Do you know Greek?

⁴⁰ And, when he gave him permission, Paul, standing on the stairs, beckoned with his hand to the people; and, when there was great silence, he spake to them in the Hebrew language, saying:

² And, hearing that he was speaking to them in the Hebrew language, they kept more quiet;

¹⁶ And now why do you delay? Arising, be immersed, and wash away your sins, calling on His name.'

²² Now they were listening to him up to this word, and they lifted up their voice, saying, "Away with such a one from the earth; for it is not fit that he should live!"

²⁴ the chief captain gave orders that he should be brought into the castle, saying that he should be examined by scourges, that he might fully know for what cause they were thus clamoring against him. ²⁵ And, as they stretched him out for the thongs, Paul said to the centurion standing by, "Is it lawful for you to scourge a man, who is a Roman, and uncondemned?"

²⁴ And, after some days, Felix, having come with his wife Drusilla, who was a Jewess, sent for Paul, and heard him concerning the faith in Christ Jesus. ²⁵ And, as he was reasoning about righteousness, continence, and the judgment to come, Felix, becoming terrified, answered, "Go your way for the present; and, when I obtain a suitable opportunity, I will call for you;" ²⁶ at the same time also hoping that money would be given to him by Paul; wherefore, also, sending for him more frequently, he conversed with him. ²⁷ But, when two years were completed, Felix received a successor, Porcius Festus; and, wishing to gain favor with the Jews, Felix left Paul bound.

⁹ I, verily, therefore, imagined to myself that it was proper that I should do many things contrary to the name of Jesus, the Nazarene;

¹⁴ And, we all having fallen to the earth, I heard a voice saying to me in the Hebrew language, 'Saul! Saul! why are you persecuting Me? It is hard for you to kick against the goads.'

⁴ Who was declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the Spirit of holiness by the resurrection from the dead—even Jesus Christ our Lord,

²⁵ Whom God set forth as a propitiation, through faith in His blood, for the manifestation of His righteousness, because of the passing over of the formerly-committed sins in the forbearance of God:

⁴ for Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one who believes.

³⁶ Because, of Him, and through Him, and for Him, are all things. To Him be the glory forever. Amen.

¹ Let every soul be in subjection to the authorities that are over him; for there is no authority, except from God; and the authorities that are have been appointed by God.

⁴ For whatsoever things were written in former times were written for our instruction, that we through patience and through consolation of the Scriptures may have hope.

³⁰ But of Him are ye in Christ Jesus, Who was made to us wisdom from God, also righteousness, and holiness, and redemption;

⁷ Purge out the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, even as ye are unleavened. For our passover was sacrificed, even, Christ;

¹¹ And such were some of you; but ye were washed, but ye were sanctified, but ye were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and in the Spirit of our God.

⁴ and that He was buried, and that He hath been raised on the third day according to the Scriptures;

²¹ Him Who knew no sin He made to be sin on our behalf, that we may become God's righteousness in Him.

²⁴ from the Jews five times I received forty stripes save one;

¹³ Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us; because it has been written, "Cursed is every one who is hung upon a tree";

²⁶ that He might sanctify it, having cleansed it by the washing of the water in the word,

¹⁴ and that the greater part of the brethren, having become confident in the Lord by my bonds, are much more bold to speak the word of God without fear.

²⁸ and in nothing terrified by the adversaries; which, indeed, to them is a token of destruction, but of your salvation, and this from God;

⁸ and, being found in fashion as a man, He humbled Himself, becoming obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.

¹² having been buried with Him in your immersion, in which ye were also raised with Him through faith in the working of God, Who raised Him from the dead;

¹⁴ having blotted out the hand-writing in decrees against us, which was contrary to us, and He has taken it out of the midst, nailing it to the cross; ¹⁵ having despoiled the principalities and the powers, He made an example of them, celebrating a triumph over them in it. ¹⁶ Let no one, therefore, judge you in food, or in drink, or in respect of a feast, or a new moon, or sabbaths, ¹⁷ which are a shadow of things to come, but the body is Christ's.

² the elder women, as mothers: younger, as sisters, in all purity. ³ Honor widows who are widows indeed. ⁴ But, if any widow has children or grand-children, let them learn first to show regard to their own family, and to make returns to their parents; for this is acceptable before God.

¹⁴ who gave Himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify for Himself a special people, zealous of good works.

⁵ not by works of righteousness which we did, but according to His mercy, He saved us through a washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit; ⁶ Whom He poured out upon us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior; ⁷ that having been justified by His grace, we might become heirs according to the hope of eternal life.

³ how shall we escape, having neglected so great salvation; which, indeed, having at first been spoken through the Lord, was confirmed to us by those who heard; ⁴ God testifying with them, both with signs and wonders and manifold miracles, and distributions of the Holy Spirit, according to His will?

¹⁴ Since, therefore, the children have partaken of blood and flesh, He Himself also in like manner took part of the same; that, through death, He might bring to nought him who had the power of death, that is, the Devil; ¹⁵ and might release all those who, through fear of death, were all their lifetime subject to bondage.

⁴ For as to those who were once enlightened, and tasted of the heavenly gift, and became partakers of the Holy Spirit, ⁵ and tasted the good word of God and the powers of the coming age, ⁶ and then fell away, it is impossible to renew them again to repentance, since they are crucifying to themselves the Son of God afresh, and putting Him to open shame. ⁷ For the land which drank in the rain that often comes upon it, and brings forth an herb fit for those for whose sake also it is cultivated, receives blessing from God; ⁸ but, if it bears thorns and thistles, it is rejected, and is near to a curse; whose end is to be burned.

²⁶ For such a High Priest was befitting us, holy, harmless, undefiled, separated from sinners, and made higher than the heavens;

¹¹ But Christ, having come as a High Priest of the good things to come, through the greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made by hand (that is, not of this creation), ¹² nor yet through the blood of goats and calves, but through His own blood, entered, once for all, into the Holies, having obtained eternal redemption. ¹³ For, if the blood of goats and bulls, and the ashes of a heifer sprinkling those who have been defiled, sanctifies to the purification of the flesh;

¹³ For, if the blood of goats and bulls, and the ashes of a heifer sprinkling those who have been defiled, sanctifies to the purification of the flesh; ¹⁴ how much more shall the blood of Christ, Who through the Eternal Spirit offered Himself without blemish to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?

²² And nearly all things are cleansed, according to the law, with blood; and apart from shedding of blood there is no remission.

²² And nearly all things are cleansed, according to the law, with blood; and apart from shedding of blood there is no remission.

¹⁹ Having, therefore, brethren, boldness for the entrance into the holy places by the blood of Jesus, ²⁰ which He dedicated for us, a new and living way, through the veil, that is, His flesh; ²¹ and, having a Great Priest over the house of God; ²² let us approach with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having had our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our body washed with pure water,

³⁶ And others had trial of mockings and scourgings, and, moreover, of bonds and imprisonment:

² looking away to the Author and Perfecter of our faith, Jesus; Who, in consideration of the joy lying before Him, endured the cross, despising shame, and hath taken a seat at the right hand of the throne of God.

¹¹ For the bodies of those beasts, whose blood is brought into the holy place through the priest as an offering for sin, are burned without the camp. ¹² Wherefore, Jesus also, that He might sanctify the people through His own blood, suffered without the gate.

¹² Wherefore, Jesus also, that He might sanctify the people through His own blood, suffered without the gate. ¹³ Therefore, let us go forth to Him without the camp, bearing His reproach;

¹⁷ Every good gift, and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the lights, with Whom there is no variableness or shadow cast by turning.

¹⁷ To him, therefore, who knows to do good, and does it not, to him it is sin.

¹⁹ but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot;

²² Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth;

²⁴ Who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live to righteousness; by Whose bruise ye were healed.

¹⁸ because Christ also suffered for sins once, a Righteous One in behalf of the unrighteous, that He might bring us to God, being put to death in flesh, but made alive in the Spirit,

²¹ which, in its anti-type, immersion, now saves you also (not a putting away of the filth of flesh, but the requirement of a good conscience toward God), through the resurrection of Jesus Christ,

¹ The elders, therefore, I exhort, who am a fellow-elder, and a witness of Christ's sufferings, also a partaker of the glory about to be revealed;

¹ That which was from the beginning, that which we have heard, that which we have seen with our eyes, that which we gazed upon, and our hands handled, concerning the Word of Life ² (and the Life was manifested, and we have seen, and bear witness, and declare to you The Eternal Life; Who, indeed, was with the Father, and was manifested to us); ³ that which we have seen and heard we declare to you also, that ye also may have fellow-ship with us; and our fellowship also is with the Father, and with His Son Jesus Christ.

⁶ If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and are walking in the darkness, we lie, and do not the truth; ⁷ but, if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with One another, and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin. ⁸ If we say, "We have no sin," we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. ⁹ If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

⁵ And ye know that He was manifested, that He might take away sins; and in Him is no sin.

¹⁸ Little children, let us not love in word, neither with the tongue, but in deed and in truth. ¹⁹ Hereby we shall know that we are of the truth, and we shall assure our heart before Him;

⁶ This is He Who came through water and blood, Jesus Christ; not in the water only, but in the water and in the blood.

⁸ because there are Three Who bear witness; the Spirit, and the water, and the blood; and the Three agree in one.

¹³ These things I wrote to you who believe on the name of the Son of God, that ye may know that ye have eternal life.

⁵ and from Jesus Christ, the faithful Witness, the First-born of the dead, and the Ruler of the kings of the earth. To Him Who loveth, and loosed us from our sins in His own blood,

⁷ Behold, He cometh with the clouds; and every eye shall see Him, and those who pierced Him; and all the tribes of the earth shall lament over Him! Even so. Amen.

¹⁴ And I have said to him, "My lord, you know." And he said to me, "These are those who come out of the great tribulation; and they washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

¹¹ They have over them as king the angel of the abyss: his name in Hebrew is Abaddon; and, in the Greek, he has a name Apollyon.

¹⁶ And they gathered them into the place which is called in Hebrew Harmagedon.
