⁴⁴ and saith to him, "See that you say nothing to any one, but go, show yourself to the priest, and offer for your cleansing what Moses directed, for a testimony to them."

¹ And He said to them, "Verily I say to you, there are some of those standing here, who shall not taste of death, till they see the Kingdom of God come with power." ² And after six days Jesus taketh with Him Peter, and James, and John, and bringeth them up into a high mountain apart by themselves; and He was transfigured before them.

⁶ But from the beginning of the creation, 'Male and female made He them.'

³⁵ And James and John, the sons of Zebedee, come to Him, saying to Him, "Teacher, we wish that Thou wouldest do for us whatsoever we ask."

⁵ And Jesus began to say to them, "Take heed, lest some one lead you astray. ⁶ Many will come in My name, saying, 'I am He', and will lead many astray.

⁹ "But take heed to yourselves; for they will deliver you up to the councils; and in synagogues ye will be beaten; and before governors and kings ye will stand for My sake, for a testimony to them.

²⁰ And, unless the Lord had shortened those days, no flesh would have been saved; but, for the elect's sake, whom He chose, He shortened the days.

²² for there will arise false Christs and false prophets, and will show signs and wonders, in order to lead astray, if possible, the elect. ²³ But take heed; I have foretold you all things.

²⁶ And then will they see the Son of Man coming in clouds with great power and glory. ²⁷ And then will He send forth the angels, and gather together His elect from the four winds, from the extremity of earth to the extremity of the heaven.

³³ Take heed, watch [and pray]; for ye know not when the time is.

³⁵ Watch, therefore, for ye know not when the master of the house is coming, at evening, or at midnight, or at cock-crowing, or in the morning;

³⁵ Watch, therefore, for ye know not when the master of the house is coming, at evening, or at midnight, or at cock-crowing, or in the morning; ³⁶ lest, coming suddenly, he find you sleeping. ³⁷ And what I say to you, I say to all, 'Watch.'"

³⁰ And Jesus saith to him, "Verily I say to you, that you today, in this night, before the cock crows twice, will thrice deny Me."

³³ And He taketh with Him Peter and James and John, and began to be greatly amazed, and to be in distress.

³⁷ And He cometh and findeth them sleeping, and saith to Peter, "Simon, are you sleeping? were you not able to watch one hour?

³⁷ And He cometh and findeth them sleeping, and saith to Peter, "Simon, are you sleeping? were you not able to watch one hour? ³⁸ Watch, and pray, that ye enter not into temptation. The spirit, indeed, is willing, but the flesh is weak."

⁴⁰ And, returning, He found them again sleeping, for their eyes were very heavy; and they knew not what to answer Him.

⁶² And Jesus said, "I am; and ye shall see the Son of Man sitting on the right hand of Power, and coming with the clouds of heaven."

²² "Happy are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you from themselves, and reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the sake of the Son of Man.

⁵ And as many as do not receive you, going out from that city, shake off the dust from your feet for a testimony against them."

¹¹ And, when they bring you in before the synagogues, and the rulers, and the authorities, be not anxious how or what ye shall answer, or what ye shall say; ¹² for the Holy Spirit will teach you in that very hour what ye ought to say."

³⁶ and yourselves like men waiting for their lord, when he shall return from the marriage feast; that, when he comes and knocks, they may straightway open to him. ³⁷ Happy are those servants, whom their lord, when coming, shall find watching! Verily I say to you, that he will gird himself, and make them recline; and, coming near, he will serve them. ³⁸ And, if he shall come in the second watch, and if in the third, and find them so, happy are they! ³⁹ But know this, that, if the householder had known at what hour the thief was coming, he would have watched, and not have suffered his house to be broken through. ⁴⁰ Be ye also ready; because at an hour ye think not the Son of Man cometh."

⁴⁰ Be ye also ready; because at an hour ye think not the Son of Man cometh." ⁴¹ And Peter said, "Lord, speakest Thou this parable to us, or to all?" ⁴² And the Lord said, "Who, then, is the faithful steward, the wise one, whom his lord will appoint over his household to give the portion of food in due season? ⁴³ Happy that servant, whom his lord, when he comes, shall find so doing. ⁴⁴ Of a truth I say to you, that he will appoint him over all his goods. ⁴⁵ But, if that servant should say in his heart, My lord is delaying to come, and shall begin to beat the manservants and the maidservants, and to eat and drink, and to be drunken; ⁴⁶ the lord of that servant will come in a day when he is not expecting him, and in an hour which he knows not, and will cut him asunder, and appoint his portion with the unfaithful.

⁵² For from this time forth five in one house will be divided, three against two, and two against three; ⁵³ they will be divided, father against son, and son against father; mother against daughter, and daughter against the mother; mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law, and daughter-in-law against the mother-in-law."

²² And it came to pass that the poor man died, and that he was carried away by the angels into Abraham's bosom. And the rich man also died, and was buried;

²³ And they will say to you, 'Lo, there!' or "Lo, here!' go not away, nor follow after them. ²⁴ For, as the lightning, flashing out of one part under heaven, shines to the other part under heaven; so shall be the Son of Man.

³¹ "In that day let him who shall be on the housetop and his goods in the house not come down to take them away: and let him who is in the field likewise not return back. ³² Remember Lot's wife. ³³ Whosoever shall seek to gain his soul shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose it, will preserve it.

⁷ And will not God avenge His elect, who are crying to Him day and night, and He is long suffering over them?

¹² He said, therefore, "A certain nobleman went into a far country, to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return. ¹³ And, calling ten servants of his, he gave them ten pounds, and said to them, 'Do business till I come.' ¹⁴ But his citizens were hating him, and sent an embassy after him, saying, 'We do not wish this man to be king over us.' ¹⁵ And it came to pass, when he came back, having received the kingdom, that he commanded the servants to whom he had given the money, to be called to him, that he might know what they accomplished in business. ¹⁶ "And the first came before him, saying, 'Lord, your pound gained ten pounds.' ¹⁷ And he said to him, 'Well done, good servant; because you were faithful in a very little, have authority over ten cities.'

⁴¹ And, when He came near, seeing the city, He wept over it, ⁴² saying, "If you knew, in this your day—even you—the things pertaining to peace! but just now were they hid from your eyes! ⁴³ Because the days will come upon you, when your enemies will cast a rampart about you, and compass you round, and hem you in on all sides; ⁴⁴ and they will dash you to the ground, and your children within you; and shall not leave in you a stone upon a stone; because you knew not the season of your visitation."

⁵ And, as some were speaking about the temple, "With what beautiful stones and offerings it has been adorned," He said, ⁶ "As to these things which ye are looking upon, the days will come, in which there will not be left here a stone upon a stone, which will not be thrown down."

⁶ "As to these things which ye are looking upon, the days will come, in which there will not be left here a stone upon a stone, which will not be thrown down." ⁷ And they asked Him, saying, "Teacher, when, therefore, will these things be, and what is the sign, when all these things are about to come to pass?"

⁷ And they asked Him, saying, "Teacher, when, therefore, will these things be, and what is the sign, when all these things are about to come to pass?" ⁸ And He said, "Take heed that ye be not led astray; for many will come in My name, saying, 'I am He,' and, 'The season has drawn near!' Go not after them.

⁸ And He said, "Take heed that ye be not led astray; for many will come in My name, saying, 'I am He,' and, 'The season has drawn near!' Go not after them. ⁹ And, when ye hear of wars and tumults, be not terrified; for these things must first come to pass; but the end is not straight-way."

⁹ And, when ye hear of wars and tumults, be not terrified; for these things must first come to pass; but the end is not straight-way." ¹⁰ Then He said to them, "Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom;

³⁴ "But take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be weighed down with gluttony and drunkenness, and anxieties pertaining to life, and that day come upon you suddenly as a snare; ³⁵ for so it will come upon all those dwelling upon the face of all the earth. ³⁶ But watch ye at every season, praying that ye may have full strength to escape all these things that are about to come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man."

⁴⁵ And, arising from prayer, and coming to the disciples, He found them sleeping for grief,

²⁹ for, behold, the days are coming in which they will say, 'Happy the barren, and the wombs which bore not, and breasts that gave not suck.'

⁴⁰ Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, was one of the two who heard it from John, and followed Him. ⁴¹ He first finds his own brother Simon, and says to him, "We have found the Messiah," (which, being translated, is Christ).

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

⁴⁸ Jesus, therefore, said to him, "Unless ye see signs and wonders, ye will not believe."

⁴³ I have come in My Father's name, and ye receive Me not; if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive.

²⁴ I said, therefore, to you, that ye will die in your sins; for, unless ye believe that I am He, ye will die in your sins."

³ To him the porter opens, and the sheep hear his voice; and he calls his own sheep by name, and leads them out.

¹⁶ And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they will hear My voice; and they shall become one flock, one Shepherd.

²⁷ My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me; ²⁸ and I give to them eternal life; and they shall never perish, nor shall any one snatch them out of My hand.

⁵² and not for that nation only, but that He might also gather together into one the children of God that are scattered abroad.

¹ "Let not your heart be troubled: believe in God, believe also in Me.

²⁷ "Peace I leave for you; My own peace I give to you; not as the world gives, give I to you. Let not your heart be troubled; neither let it be fearful.

¹⁸ If the world hates you, ye know that it has hated Me before it hated you. ¹⁹ If ye were of the world, the world would love its own; but because ye are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, on this account the world hates you. ²⁰ Remember the word which I spake to you, 'A servant is not greater than his lord.' If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you; if they kept My word, they will keep yours also. ²¹ But all these things will they do to you for My name's sake; because they know not Him Who sent Me.

² They will put you out of the synagogues; yea, an hour is coming, that every one who kills you will think that he is offering service to God. ³ And these things will they do, because they have not known the Father, nor Me. ⁴ But these things I have spoken to you, that, when their hour shall come, ye may remember them, that I told you.

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

²¹ Peter therefore, seeing him, says to Jesus, "Lord, and what will this man do?" ²² Jesus saith to him, "If I wish him to remain till I come, what is it to you? follow Me."

⁶ They, therefore, having come together, were asking Him, saying, "Lord, dost Thou at this time restore the Kingdom to Israel?" ⁷ He said to them, "It is not yours to know times or seasons, which the Father placed in His own authority;

⁷ He said to them, "It is not yours to know times or seasons, which the Father placed in His own authority;

¹¹ who also said, "Men of Galilee, why do ye stand looking into the heaven? This Jesus, Who was taken up from you into Heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye beheld Him ascending into Heaven."

⁴ And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and began to speak with other tongues, even as the Spirit was giving them to declare.

¹⁹ And I will show wonders in the heaven above, and signs upon the earth beneath—blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke. ²⁰ The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and notable day of the Lord come.

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;

¹ But, as they were speaking to the people, the priests, and the captain of the temple, and the Sadducees, came upon them, ² being greatly troubled because of their teaching the people, and declaring in Jesus the resurrection from the dead. ³ And they laid hands on them, and put them in custody till the next day; for it was now evening. ⁴ And many of those who heard the word believed; and the number of the men became about five thousand. ⁵ And it came to pass, the next day, that their rulers and elders and scribes were gathered together in Jerusalem, ⁶ and Annas the high priest, and Caiaphas, and John, and Alexander, and as many as were of the kindred of the high priest. ⁷ And, having set them in the midst, they were inquiring, "In what power or in what name, did ye do this?" ⁸ Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, "Rulers of the people and elders,

⁸ Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, "Rulers of the people and elders, ⁹ if we are this day examined in regard to a good deed done to an impotent man, by what means this person has been made whole;

⁹ if we are this day examined in regard to a good deed done to an impotent man, by what means this person has been made whole; ¹⁰ be it known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that in the Name of Jesus Christ, the Nazarene, Whom ye crucified, Whom God raised from the dead, in Him does this man stand here before you well!

¹⁰ be it known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that in the Name of Jesus Christ, the Nazarene, Whom ye crucified, Whom God raised from the dead, in Him does this man stand here before you well! ¹¹ This is the Stone That was set at naught by you, the builders, Which was made into a head of a corner.

¹¹ This is the Stone That was set at naught by you, the builders, Which was made into a head of a corner. ¹² And in no one else is there salvation; for neither is there any other name under Heaven, that has been given among men, in Which we must be saved."

¹² And in no one else is there salvation; for neither is there any other name under Heaven, that has been given among men, in Which we must be saved." ¹³ Now, beholding the boldness of Peter and John, and perceiving that they were unlettered and ignorant men, they were wondering; they also were recognizing them, that they had been with Jesus;

¹³ Now, beholding the boldness of Peter and John, and perceiving that they were unlettered and ignorant men, they were wondering; they also were recognizing them, that they had been with Jesus; ¹⁴ and, seeing the man who had been healed, standing with them, they had nothing to say against it.

¹⁴ and, seeing the man who had been healed, standing with them, they had nothing to say against it. ¹⁵ But, having ordered them to go aside out of the Sanhedrin, they were conferring one with another,

¹⁵ But, having ordered them to go aside out of the Sanhedrin, they were conferring one with another, ¹⁶ saying, "What shall we do to these men? for, indeed, that a notable sign has been done through them is manifest to all those dwelling in Jerusalem, and we cannot deny it;

¹⁶ saying, "What shall we do to these men? for, indeed, that a notable sign has been done through them is manifest to all those dwelling in Jerusalem, and we cannot deny it; ¹⁷ but, that it spread no further among the people, let us threaten them, that they speak no more to any man in This Name."

¹⁷ but, that it spread no further among the people, let us threaten them, that they speak no more to any man in This Name." ¹⁸ And, having called them they charged them not to speak at all, nor teach, in the name of Jesus.

¹⁸ And, having called them they charged them not to speak at all, nor teach, in the name of Jesus. 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;

²⁰ for we cannot but speak the things which we saw and heard." ²¹ And they, when they had further threatened them, released them, finding no way to punish them, on account of the people; because all were glorifying God for what had taken place;

²¹ And they, when they had further threatened them, released them, finding no way to punish them, on account of the people; because all were glorifying God for what had taken place; ²² for the man, on whom this sign of healing had been done, was more than forty years old.

³¹ And, when they had prayed, the place in which they had assembled was shaken; and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and were speaking the word of God with boldness.

¹⁷ And the high priest, rising up, and all those with him, being the sect of the Sadducees, were filled with jealousy, ¹⁸ and laid hands on the apostles, and put them in a public prison. ¹⁹ But an angel of the Lord, by night, opened the prison doors; and, having led them out, said, ²⁰ "Go, and, standing, speak in the temple, to the people, all the words of this life." ²¹ And, having heard this, they entered at dawn, into the temple, and were teaching. And the high priest, having come, and those with him, called together the Sanhedrin, and all the senate of the sons of Israel, and sent to the prison-house to have them brought. ²² But the officers, having come, did not find them in the prison, and, returning, they told, ²³ saying, "The prison-house we found shut in all safety, and the prison-keepers standing at the doors; but, having opened, we found no one within." ²⁴ Now, when both the captain of the temple and the high priests heard these words, they were thoroughly perplexed concerning them, what this might become. ²⁵ But a certain one, coming near, told them, "Behold, the men whom ye put in the prison are standing in the temple, and teaching the people!" ²⁶ Then the captain, having gone away with the officers, brought them, not with violence, for they were fearing the people, lest they should be stoned; ²⁷ and, having brought them, they set them before the Sanhedrin. And the high priest asked them, ²⁸ saying, "We strictly charged you not to teach in This Name; and, behold, ye have filled Jerusalem with your teaching! and intend to bring upon us the blood of This Man!" ²⁹ But Peter and the apostles, answering, said, "It is proper to obey God rather than men. ³⁰ The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, Whom ye slew, having suspended Him on a tree: ³¹ This One God exalted as a Prince and Savior, with His right hand, to give repentance to Israel, and remission of sins. ³² And we are witnesses of these things; also the Holy Spirit, Whom God gave to those who obey Him." ³³ And they, hearing it, were being convulsed with rage, and were taking counsel to slay them. ³⁴ But a certain one, having risen up in the council—a Pharisee, by name Gamaliel, a teacher of the law, honored by all the people—ordered to put the men without a little while. ³⁵ And he said to them, "Men of Israel, take heed to yourselves with regard to these men, what ye are about to do; ³⁶ for before these days arose Theudas, alleging that he himself was somebody, to whom a number of men, about four hundred, joined themselves; who was slain, and all, as many as obeyed him, were disbanded, and came to nothing.

³⁶ for before these days arose Theudas, alleging that he himself was somebody, to whom a number of men, about four hundred, joined themselves; who was slain, and all, as many as obeyed him, were disbanded, and came to nothing. ³⁷ After this arose Judas, the Galilean, in the days of the enrollment, and drew away people after him; he also perished; and all, as many as obeyed him, were scattered abroad.

³⁷ After this arose Judas, the Galilean, in the days of the enrollment, and drew away people after him; he also perished; and all, as many as obeyed him, were scattered abroad. ³⁸ And now I say to you, refrain from these men, and let them alone; for, if this counsel or this work be of men, it will be overthrown;

³⁸ And now I say to you, refrain from these men, and let them alone; for, if this counsel or this work be of men, it will be overthrown; ³⁹ but, if it be of God, ye will not be able to overthrow them; lest perhaps ye be found even fighting against God."

³⁹ but, if it be of God, ye will not be able to overthrow them; lest perhaps ye be found even fighting against God." ⁴⁰ And to him they assented; and calling the apostles to them, beating them, they charged them not to speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go,

¹⁰ And they were not able to withstand the wisdom and the spirit with which he was speaking. ¹¹ Then they suborned men, who said, "We have heard him speaking blasphemous words against Moses and against God." ¹² And they stirred up the people, and the elders, and the Scribes; and, coming upon him, they seized him, and brought him to the Sanhedrin, ¹³ and set up false witnesses, who said, "This man does not cease speaking words against this holy place, and the law; ¹⁴ for we have heard him say, that This Jesus, the Nazarene, will overthrow this place, and will change the customs which Moses delivered to us."

¹⁴ for we have heard him say, that This Jesus, the Nazarene, will overthrow this place, and will change the customs which Moses delivered to us." ¹⁵ And all those who were sitting in the Sanhedrin, gazing intently at him, saw his face as it were an angel's face.

¹⁵ And all those who were sitting in the Sanhedrin, gazing intently at him, saw his face as it were an angel's face.

⁵⁴ Now, while hearing these things, they were being cut to their hearts, and were gnashing their teeth over him. ⁵⁵ But he, being full of the Holy Spirit, looking intently into Heaven, saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God;

³⁰ And Philip, having run near, heard him reading Isaiah the prophet, and said, "Do you, then, understand what you are reading?" ³¹ But he said, "How, in fact, were I able, unless some one should guide me?" And he besought Philip, having come up, to sit with him.

¹ And Saul, yet breathing threatening and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, going to the high priest, ² asked from him letters to Damascus to the synagogues, that, if he found any who were of the Way, whether men or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem.

¹³ And Ananias answered, "Lord, I heard from many concerning this man, how many evils he did to Thy saints in Jerusalem; ¹⁴ and here he has authority from the high priests to bind all those calling on Thy name."

¹⁶ for I will show him how many things he must suffer for My name's sake.

²⁸ and one of them—Agabus by name—standing up, signified through the Spirit that there was about to be a great famine over all the inhabited earth; which, indeed, happened under Claudius.

¹ Now about that time Herod the king put forth his bands to harm some of the assembly. ² And he slew James, the brother of John, with the sword; ³ and, seeing that it pleased the Jews, he proceeded to seize Peter also. And then were the days of unleavened bread.

²⁰ and, leading them forward to the magistrates, they said, "These men, being Jews, are greatly disturbing our city; ²¹ and are declaring customs, which it is not lawful for us to receive, or to observe, being Romans. 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; ²⁴ who, having received such a charge, thrust them into the inner prison, and made their feet fast in the stocks.

³ opening and setting forth that it was necessary that the Christ should suffer, and rise again from the dead; and that "This Jesus Whom I am proclaiming to you, is the Christ."

²⁹ I know that, after my departure, grievous wolves will enter in among you, not sparing the flock; ³⁰ and from among yourselves will men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away the disciples after them. ³¹ Wherefore, watch, remembering that for three years, night and day, I ceased not to admonish every one with tears.

¹¹ And, coming to us, and taking Paul's girdle, binding his own feet and hands, he said, "Thus saith the Holy Spirit, so shall the Jews in Jerusalem bind the man who owns this girdle, and shall deliver him up into the hands of the gentiles.

³¹ And, as they were seeking to kill him, a report came up to the chief captain of the band, that all Jerusalem was in confusion; ³² who, at once, taking with him soldiers and centurions, ran down upon them; and they, seeing the chief captain and the soldiers, ceased beating Paul. ³³ Then the chief captain, coming near, laid hold of him, and ordered that he be bound with two chains; and he was inquiring who he was, and what he had done. ³⁴ And some shouted one thing, some another, among the crowd; and, when he could not ascertain the certainty because of the tumult, he ordered that he be brought into the castle. ³⁵ And, when he came upon the stairway, it happened that he was borne along by the soldiers on account of the violence of the multitude; 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? ³⁸ Are you not, then, the Egyptian who, before these days, caused a revolt, and led out into the wilderness the four thousand men of the Assassins?" ³⁹ But Paul said, "I am a Jew, of Tarsus in Cilicia, a citizen of no mean city; and I beseech you, permit me to speak to the people." 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:

¹⁹ And I said, 'Lord, they themselves understand that I was imprisoning and beating, throughout the synagogues, those believing on Thee; ²⁰ and, when the blood of Stephen, Thy witness, was poured forth, I myself also was standing by, and approving, and guarding the garments of those who slew him.

¹ And Paul, looking intently on the Sanhedrin, said, "Brethren, I have lived in all good conscience before God until this day." ² And the high priest, Ananias, commanded those who stood by, to smite him on the mouth.

¹ And, after five days, the high priest Ananias came down with certain elders, and a certain orator, Tertullus; who, indeed, informed the governor against Paul. ² And, he having been called, Tertullus began to accuse him, saying, "Seeing that, through you, we enjoy great peace, and reforms accrue to this nation through your forethought, ³ in every way and everywhere; we welcome it, most excellent Felix, with all thankfulness. ⁴ "But, that I detain you no longer, I pray you to hear us briefly in your clemency. ⁵ For, finding this man a plague, and stirring up insurrections among the Jews throughout the inhabited earth, and a ring-leader of the sect of the Nazarenes; ⁶ who also attempted to desecrate the temple; whom also we seized.— ⁷ [But the chief captain Lysias came, and with great violence took him away out of our hands, commanding his accusers to come before you;] ⁸ from whom you will be able, after having examined him yourself, to obtain full knowledge of all these things of which we accuse him." ⁹ And the Jews also assented, affirming that these things were so.

¹ Festus, therefore, having come to the province, after three days went up to Jerusalem from Caesarea; ² and the high priests and chief men of the Jews informed him against Paul, and were beseeching him, ³ asking it as a favor against him, that he would send for him to Jerusalem, making an ambush, to kill him on the way. ⁴ Festus, therefore, answered, that Paul was held at Caesarea, and that he himself was about shortly to go out thither. ⁵ "Let those, therefore, among you," said he, who are able, going down with me, accuse him, if there is anything amiss in him. ⁶ And, having spent among them not more than eight or ten days, he went down to Caesarea; and, on the morrow, sitting on the judgment-seat, he ordered Paul to be brought. ⁷ And, when he presented himself, the Jews who came down from Jerusalem stood around him, bringing many and grievous charges, which they were not able to prove; ⁸ Paul saying in his defense, "Neither against the law of the Jews, nor against the temple, nor against Caesar, did I commit any sin." ⁹ But Festus, wishing to gain favor with the Jews, answering, said to Paul, "Are you willing, having gone up to Jerusalem, to be judged there concerning these things before me?" ¹⁰ And Paul said, "I am standing at Caesar's judgment-seat, where I ought to be judged. To the Jews I have done no wrong, as you also very well know. ¹¹ If, therefore, I am a wrong-doer, and have perpetrated anything worthy of death, I refuse not to die; but, if there is nothing in the things of which these accuse me, no one can deliver me as a favor to them. I appeal to Caesar." ¹² Then Festus, having consulted with the council, answered, To Caesar you have appealed; to Caesar you shall go." ¹³ And, some days having elapsed, Agrippa the king, and Bernice, came to Caesarea to salute Festus. ¹⁴ And, as they were spending several days there, Festus laid before the king the things relating to Paul, saying, "There is a certain man left a prisoner by Felix; ¹⁵ concerning whom, when I was at Jerusalem, the high priests and elders of the Jews gave information, asking for sentence against him: ¹⁶ to whom I made answer, It is not a custom with Romans to grant as a favor any man, before the accused has the accuser face to face, and has opportunity to answer for himself concerning the charge laid against him. ¹⁷ When, therefore, they came together here, I, making no delay, the next day, sitting on the judgment-seat, ordered the man to be brought; ¹⁸ concerning whom, the accusers, standing up, were bringing no accusation of evils such as I was supposing; ¹⁹ but certain questions concerning their peculiar religion they had against him, and concerning a certain Jesus, who was dead, whom Paul affirmed to be alive. ²⁰ And, being perplexed in regard to the inquiry concerning these things, I asked whether he was willing to go to Jerusalem, and there be judged concerning these things. ²¹ But, as Paul appealed to be held for the decision of Augustus, I ordered, that he be held, until I should send him up to Caesar." ²² And Agrippa said to Festus, "I myself also was wishing to hear the man." "To-morrow," said he, "you shall hear him." ²³ On the morrow, therefore, Agrippa and Bernice having come with great display; and, having entered into the audience-chamber, with both the chief captains and the principal men of the city, Festus having ordered it, Paul was brought. ²⁴ And Festus says, "King Agrippa, and all men who are here present with us, ye behold this man, concerning whom all the multitude of the Jews made suit to me, both in Jerusalem and here, crying out that it was not proper that he should live any longer. ²⁵ But I found that he committed nothing worthy of death; and, as he himself appealed to Augustus, I decided to send him: ²⁶ concerning whom I have nothing certain to write to my lord. Wherefore, I brought him forth before you, and especially before you, King Agrippa, in order that, when the examination has taken place, I may have something to write;

¹⁸ And, we being violently tempest-tossed, the next day they were making an overthrow of the cargo; ¹⁹ and, on the third day, with their own hands, they cast out the rigging of the ship.

³⁸ And, having been satisfied with food, they were lightening the ship, throwing out the wheat into the sea.

⁸ First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, because your faith is proclaimed in the whole world.

⁷ to those who, by patience in well-doing, are seeking for glory and honor and incorruption, eternal life;

³³ Who will bring an accusation against God's elect? It is God Who justifieth;

¹⁸ But I say, did they not hear? Yes, verily, "Their sound went out into all the earth, and their words to the ends of the inhabited earth."

⁵ Even so, then, at this present time also, a remnant, according to an election of grace, has been reserved. ⁶ But, if by grace, it is no longer of works; otherwise the grace becomes no longer grace. [But, if of works, it is no longer grace; otherwise, the work is no longer work.] ⁷ What, then? What Israel is seeking for, this he did not obtain; but the election obtained it, and the rest were hardened;

²³ And they also, if they continue not in unbelief, shall be grafted in; for God is able to graft them in again. ²⁴ For, if you were cut out of that which is by nature a wild olive tree, and were grafted, contrary to nature, into a good olive tree; how much more shall these, the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree?

²⁸ As touching the Gospel, they are enemies for your sake; but as touching the election, they are beloved for the Father's sake; ²⁹ for the gifts and calling of God are not repented of. ³⁰ For as ye in times past disobeyed God, but just now obtained mercy by their disobedience; ³¹ even so did these now disobey, that by the mercy shown to you they also may obtain mercy. ³² For God shut up all unto disobedience, that He might have mercy on all.

⁴ For even as we have many members in one body, and all the members have not the same office; ⁵ so we, being many, are one body in Christ, and severally members one of another. ⁶ And, having gifts differing according to the grace that was given to us; whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of our faith; ⁷ or ministry, let us labor in the ministry; or he that teaches, in teaching; ⁸ or he that exhorts, in his exhortation; he that imparts, let him do it with liberality; he that presides, with diligence; he that shows mercy, with cheerfulness.

⁶ For, on this account, ye pay tribute also; for they are God's ministers, attending continually to this very thing.

¹¹ And this, knowing the season, that it is time already for you to be aroused out of sleep; for now is our salvation nearer than when ye believed.

¹¹ And this, knowing the season, that it is time already for you to be aroused out of sleep; for now is our salvation nearer than when ye believed. ¹² The night was far spent, and the day has drawn near; let us, therefore, put off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light.

¹² The night was far spent, and the day has drawn near; let us, therefore, put off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light. ¹³ As in the day, let us walk becomingly; not in revellings and drunkenness, not in lewdness and wantonness, not in strife and jealousy; ¹⁴ but put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfill its desires.

¹⁴ but put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfill its desires.

¹⁹ in the power of signs and wonders, in the power of the Holy Spirit; so that from Jerusalem and around as far as Illyricum, I have fully dispensed the Gospel of Christ;

¹³ Which things also we speak, not in words taught by human wisdom, but in those taught by the Spirit; combining spiritual things with spiritual.

⁵ What, then, is Apollos? and what is Paul? Ministers through whom ye believed; and as the Lord gave to each. ⁶ I planted, Apollos watered; but God causeth it to grow. ⁷ So that neither is he that plants anything, nor he that waters; but God Who causeth it to grow. ⁸ And he that plants and he that waters are one; but each shall receive his own reward, according to his own labor. ⁹ For we are God's fellow-workers; ye are God's husbandry, God's building. ¹⁰ According to the grace of God which was given to me, as a wise master-builder, I laid a foundation; and another builds thereon. But let each one take heed how he builds thereon;

⁹ For, I think, God did set forth us the apostles last, as doomed to death; because we became a spectacle to the world, both to angels and to men. ¹⁰ We are fools for Christ's sake, but ye are wise in Christ; we are weak, but ye are strong; ye are highly esteemed; but we are without honor. ¹¹ Even until this present hour, we both hunger, and thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted, and have no certain dwelling place; ¹² and we toil, laboring with our own hands; being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we endure; ¹³ being defamed, we entreat; we were made as the filth of the world, the offscouring of all things, until now.

⁴ Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. ⁵ And there are diversities of ministries, and the same Lord. ⁶ And there are diversities of workings, but the same God, Who worketh all things in all. ⁷ And to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit for profiting. ⁸ For to one, indeed, is given through the Spirit a word of wisdom; and to another, a word of knowledge, according to the same Spirit; ⁹ to another, faith, in the same Spirit; and to another, gifts of healings, in the one Spirit; ¹⁰ and to another, workings of mighty deeds; and to another, prophecy; and to another, discerning of spirits; to another, various kinds of tongues; and to another, interpretation of tongues. ¹¹ But all these worketh the one and the same Spirit, distributing to each one, severally, even as He willeth. ¹² For, as the body is one, and has many members, and all the members of the body, being many, are one body; so also is the Christ; ¹³ for, indeed, in one Spirit were we all immersed into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether bond or free; and were all made to drink of one Spirit. ¹⁴ For the body also is not one member, but many. ¹⁵ If the foot should say, "Because I am not a hand, I am not of the body"; it is not, therefore, not of the body. ¹⁶ And, if the ear should say, "Because I am not an eye, I am not of the body"; it is not, therefore, not of the body. ¹⁷ If the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing? If the whole body were hearing, where were the smelling? ¹⁸ But, as it is, God did set the members, each one of them in the body, even as He willed. ¹⁹ And, if they were all one member, where were the body? ²⁰ But now they are many members, but one body. ²¹ And the eye cannot say to the hand, "I have no need of you"; nor again the head to the feet, "I have no need of you." ²² But much more the members of the body which seem to be more feeble, are necessary; ²³ and those members which we think to be less honorable, upon these we bestow more abundant honor; and our uncomely parts have more abundant comeliness; ²⁴ but our comely parts have no need. But God attempered the body, giving the more abundant honor to that which lacked; ²⁵ that there might be no schism in the body, but that the members might have the same care, one for another. ²⁶ And whether one member suffers, all the members suffer with it; or one is honored, all the members rejoice with it. ²⁷ Now ye are Christ's body, and severally members thereof. ²⁸ And God, indeed, set some in the assembly: first, apostles; second, prophets; third, teachers; after that, miracles; then, gifts of healings, helps, governments, various kinds of tongues. ²⁹ Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Are all workers of miracles? ³⁰ Do all have gifts of healings? Do all speak with tongues? Do all interpret? ³¹ But desire earnestly the greater gifts; and a still more excellent way I show you.

⁷ Even things without life giving sound, whether pipe or harp, if they give no distinction in the sounds, how shall it be known what is piped or harped? ⁸ For even if a trumpet give an uncertain sound, who will prepare for war?

²⁰ Brethren, do not be children in mind; yet in evil be babes, but in mind be full-grown.

³³ Be not deceived; evil companionships corrupt good morals.

⁵⁸ Therefore, my beloved brethren, become steadfast, immovable, abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.

¹³ Watch, stand fast in the faith; be men; be strong.

²³ Are they ministers of Christ? (I speak as beside myself) I am more; in labors more abundantly, in prisons more abundantly, in stripes above measure, in deaths often; ²⁴ from the Jews five times I received forty stripes save one; ²⁵ thrice I was beaten with rods; once I was stoned; thrice I suffered shipwreck; a night and a day I have spent in the deep; ²⁶ in journeyings often, in perils of rivers, in perils of robbers, in perils from my countrymen, in perils from the gentiles, in perils in the city, in perils in the wilderness, in perils in the sea, in perils among false brethren; ²⁷ in toil and hardship, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness.

⁹ And, in doing what is noble, let us not grow weary; for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.

⁵ which in other generations was not made known to the sons of men, as it was now revealed to His holy apostles and prophets in the Spirit;

⁶ Let no one deceive you with empty words; for, because of these things, comes the wrath of God upon the sons of disobedience.

¹⁴ Wherefore, He saith: "Awake, you who are sleeping; and arise from the dead, and Christ will shine upon you!"

¹⁸ with all prayer and supplication praying at every opportunity in the Spirit, and watching thereunto in all perseverance and supplication for all the saints; ¹⁹ and on my behalf that utterance may be given to me, in opening my mouth to make known with boldness the mystery of the Gospel, ²⁰ for which I am an ambassador in chains, that therein I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.

²⁹ but to you it was granted as a favor in behalf of Christ, not only to believe on Him, but in His behalf to suffer also;

⁷ But what things were gain to me, these I accounted loss for Christ. ⁸ Nay, more, I even account all things to be loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I suffered the loss of all things, and account them refuse, that I may gain Christ.

⁶ which is present among you, even as it is in all the world bearing fruit and increasing, as it does in you also, since the day ye heard and knew the grace of God in truth;

²³ if, at least, ye continue in the faith, founded and steadfast, and not moved away from the hope of the Gospel, which ye heard, which was preached in all creation under the heaven, of which I, Paul, was made a minister.

⁸ Beware, lest there should be any one who makes a spoil of you through his philosophy and vain deceits, according to the tradition of men, according to the rudiments of the world, and not according to Christ;

¹² Put on, therefore, as God's elect, holy and beloved, tender affections of compassion, kindness, humility, meekness, long-suffering;

²⁴ knowing that from the Lord ye shall receive the recompense of the inheritance: ye are doing service to the Lord, Christ.

¹ Masters, render justice and equity to your servants, knowing that ye also have a Master in Heaven.

¹⁴ for, if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, so also those who fell asleep in Jesus will God bring with Him. ¹⁵ For this we say to You, in a word of the Lord, that we, the living who remain over to the coming of the Lord, shall in nowise precede those who fell asleep; ¹⁶ because the Lord Himself will descend from Heaven, with a shout, with a voice of an archangel, and with a trumpet of God; and the dead in Christ shall rise first;

¹⁶ because the Lord Himself will descend from Heaven, with a shout, with a voice of an archangel, and with a trumpet of God; and the dead in Christ shall rise first; ¹⁷ after that we, the living who are left over, will be caught up together with them in clouds, into the air, to meet the Lord; and so shall we always be with the Lord.

¹ But, concerning the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that aught be written to you; ² for ye yourselves know accurately that the day of the Lord so comes as a thief at night. ³ When they are saying, "Peace and safety," then sudden destruction comes upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall in nowise escape.

⁵ for ye are all sons of light, and sons of day; we are not of night, nor of darkness. ⁶ So, then, let us not sleep as do the rest, but let us watch and be sober.

⁶ So, then, let us not sleep as do the rest, but let us watch and be sober. ⁷ For those who sleep sleep at night, and those who are drunken are drunken at night.

⁷ For those who sleep sleep at night, and those who are drunken are drunken at night. ⁸ But let us, being of the day, be sober, having put on a breast-plate of faith and love; and, as a helmet, a hope of salvation;

⁵ a proof of the righteous judgment of God, to the end that ye may be accounted worthy of the Kingdom of God, for which ye also suffer;

⁷ and to you who suffer tribulation, relief with us, at the revelation of the Lord Jesus from Heaven with the angels of His power, in flaming fire, ⁸ awarding vengeance to those who know not God, and to those who obey not the Gospel of our Lord Jesus; ⁹ who, indeed, shall pay a penalty, eternal destruction from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of His might, ¹⁰ when He shall come to be glorified in His saints, and to be marveled at in all who believed (because our testimony to you was believed), in that day.

¹ Now we request you, brethren, regarding the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and our gathering together to Him,

³ Let no one deceive you in any manner; because that day will not come, unless the falling away come first, and the man of lawlessness be revealed—the son of perdition;

⁸ And then shall be revealed the lawless one, whom the Lord Jesus will slay with the breath of His mouth, and will bring to nought by the manifestation of His presence; ⁹ him whose coming is according to the working of Satan in all power and signs and lying wonders, ¹⁰ and in all deceit of unrighteousness to those who perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. ¹¹ And, for this cause, God sendeth them a working of delusion, that they may believe the lie; ¹² that they all may be judged, who believe not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness. ¹³ But we ought to give thanks to God always for you, brethren, beloved by the Lord; because God, from the beginning, chose you to salvation, in sanctification of the Spirit and belief of truth; ¹⁴ unto which He called you through our Gospel, to an obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

¹⁰ Therefore, I suffer all things for the sake of the elect, that they also may obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus, with eternal glory.

¹³ if we are faithless, He remaineth faithful, for He cannot deny Himself.

¹⁹ Nevertheless, the firm foundation of God has been standing, having this seal, "The Lord knew those who are His:" and "Let every one who names the name of the Lord depart from unrighteousness."

² upon hope of eternal life which God, Who cannot lie, promised before eternal times,

¹⁰ and, "Thou, Lord, in the beginning didst lay the foundation of the earth, and the heavens are the works of Thy hands. ¹¹ They shall perish, but Thou continuest; and they will all become old as does a garment; ¹² and as a mantle Thou wilt roll them up, as a garment also they shall be changed; but Thou art the same, and Thy years shall not fail."

¹⁴ for we have become partakers of Christ, if we hold fast the beginning of our confidence firm to the end:

²⁵ not forsaking the gathering of ourselves together, as is the custom of some, but exhorting, and so much the more as ye see the day approaching. ²⁶ For, if we sin wilfully after we received the full knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, ²⁷ but a certain fearful expectation of judgment and fierceness of fire about to devour the opposers. ²⁸ Anyone, having set aside Moses' law, dies without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses; ²⁹ of how much worse punishment, think ye, shall he be accounted worthy, who trampled under foot the Son of God, and accounted the blood of the covenant with which He was sanctified an unholy thing, and treated with contempt the Spirit of grace? ³⁰ For we know Him Who said, To Me belongs vengeance; I will recompense," saith the Lord; and again, "The Lord will judge His people." ³¹ It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God! ³² But call to remembrance the former days, in which, after ye were enlightened, ye endured a great conflict of sufferings; ³³ partly, indeed, when ye were made a spectacle both with reproaches and tribulations; and partly, when ye became partakers with those who were so used; ³⁴ for ye both sympathized with those in bonds, and took joyfully the spoiling of your possessions; knowing that ye yourselves have a better possession and an abiding one. ³⁵ Cast not away, therefore, your boldness, which, indeed, has great recompense. ³⁶ For ye have need of patience, that, after having done the will of God, ye may receive the promise. ³⁷ "For yet a little while, how short! how short! The Coming One will come, and will not tarry."

³⁹ But we are not of those who draw back to destruction; but of those who believe to the saving of the soul.

⁷ By faith Noah, being divinely instructed concerning things not yet seen, moved with fear, prepared an ark for the saving of his house; through which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is according to faith.

¹⁵ looking carefully, lest there be any one falling short of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness, springing up, trouble you, and through it many be defiled;

⁵ But, if any of you is lacking in wisdom, let him ask from God, Who giveth to all liberally, and upbraideth not; and it will be given him;

¹² Happy is a man who endures temptation; because, when he becomes approved, he will receive the crown of life, which He promised to those who love Him.

⁹ Murmur not against one another, brethren, that ye be not judged: behold, The Judge has taken His stand before the doors!

² elect according to the fore-knowledge of God the Father, in sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: grace to you, and peace be multiplied.

¹² to whom it was revealed that, not to themselves, but to you they were ministering them; which things now were reported to you through those who proclaimed the Gospel to you by the Holy Spirit sent forth from Heaven; into which things angels desire to look carefully.

⁷ But the end of all things has drawn near; be ye, therefore, of sound mind, and be sober unto prayers;

¹⁷ Because it is the time for judgment to begin at the house of God; and, if it begin first at us, what shall be the end of those who obey not the Gospel of God? ¹⁸ And, if the righteous, with difficulty, is saved, where shall the ungodly and sinner appear?

⁸ Be sober, be watchful. Your adversary the Devil, as a roaring lion, is going about, seeking whom he may devour;

¹⁰ But the day of the Lord will come as a thief, in which the heavens will pass away with a rushing noise, and the elements, being intensely hot, shall be dissolved, and the earth and the works therein shall be burned up.

¹⁰ But the day of the Lord will come as a thief, in which the heavens will pass away with a rushing noise, and the elements, being intensely hot, shall be dissolved, and the earth and the works therein shall be burned up. ¹¹ Seeing, therefore, that all these things are thus to be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conduct and godliness, ¹² looking for, and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens, being on fire, will be dissolved; and the elements, being intensely hot, shall melt!

¹² looking for, and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens, being on fire, will be dissolved; and the elements, being intensely hot, shall melt!

¹⁷ Ye, therefore, beloved, knowing these things beforehand, be on your guard, lest, being carried away with error of the wicked, ye fall from your own steadfastness.

¹⁹ They went out from among us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us; but they went out, that they might be made manifest, that they are not all of us.

²⁶ These things I wrote to you concerning those who would deceive you.

¹³ Marvel not, brethren, if the world hates you.

¹ Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone forth into the world.

¹ The revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave Him, to show to His servants the things which must shortly come to pass; and, having sent, He signified them through His angel to His servant John;

³ Happy is he that reads, and those who hear the words of the prophecy, and keep the things written therein; for the time is near.

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.

⁹ I, John, your brother, and fellow-sharer in the tribulation, and kingdom, and patience in Jesus, was in the island called Patmos, because of the word of God and the testimony of Jesus.

¹⁰ Fear not the things which you are about to suffer. Behold, the Devil is about to cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days. Be faithful unto death, and I will give you the crown of life.

¹³ "I know where you dwell, where Satan's throne is; and you hold fast My name, and did not deny My faith, even in the days of Antipas, My witness, My faithful one, who was killed among you, where Satan dwells.

² Become watchful, and strengthen the things that remain, which were about to die; for I have not found your works complete before My God. ³ Remember, therefore, how you have received, and did hear; and keep it, and repent. If, therefore, you do not watch, I will come as a thief, and you shall not know at what hour I will come upon you.

⁷ "And to the angel of the assembly in Philadelphia write these things," saith He Who is holy, He Who is true, He Who hath the key of David, He Who openeth, and no one shall shut; and shutteth, and no one opens:

¹⁰ Because you kept the word of My patience. I also will keep you from the hour of trial, which is about to come upon the whole inhabited earth, to try those who dwell upon the earth.

⁴ And there went forth another horse, a red one; and to him who was sitting thereon it was given to take peace from the earth, and that they should slay one another; and there was given to him a great sword.

⁹ And, when He opened the fifth seal, I saw, underneath the altar, the souls of those who had been slain because of the word of God, and because of the testimony which they were holding. ¹⁰ And they cried with a great voice, saying, "How long, O Master, the Holy, and the True, dost Thou not judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell upon the earth?" ¹¹ And a white robe was given to each one of them; and it was said to them, that they should rest yet a little time, until their fellow-servants and their brethren, who were about to be slain, as they also had been, should fulfill their course. ¹² And I saw, when He opened the sixth seal, and a great earthquake took place; and the sun became black as sack-cloth of hair, and the whole moon became as blood; ¹³ and the stars of the heaven fell to the earth, as a fig-tree casts her unripe figs, when shaken by a great wind;

¹³ and the stars of the heaven fell to the earth, as a fig-tree casts her unripe figs, when shaken by a great wind; ¹⁴ And the heaven was removed, as a scroll rolled up; and every mountain and island were removed out of their places.

¹ After this I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that no wind should blow on the earth, or on the sea, or upon any tree. ² And I saw another angel ascending from the rising of the sun, having a seal of the living God; and he cried with a great voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea, ³ saying, "Hurt not the earth, nor the sea, nor the trees, until we shall seal the servants of our God on their foreheads."

⁵ Of the tribe of Judah twelve thousand were sealed; Of the tribe of Reuben, twelve thousand; Of the tribe of Gad, twelve thousand; ⁶ Of the tribe of Asher, twelve thousand; Of the tribe of Naphtali, twelve thousand; Of the tribe of Manasseh, twelve thousand; ⁷ Of the tribe of Simeon, twelve thousand; Of the tribe of Levi, twelve thousand; Of the tribe of Issachar, twelve thousand; ⁸ Of the tribe of Zebulon, twelve thousand; Of the tribe of Joseph, twelve thousand; Of the tribe of Benjamin, twelve thousand were sealed. ⁹ After these things I saw, and, behold, a great multitude, which no one could number, out of every nation, and of all tribes and peoples and tongues, standing before the throne, and before the Lamb, arrayed in white robes, and palms in their hands;

² And the court which is without the temple leave without, and measure it not; because it was given to the gentiles, and they will tread down the holy city forty-two months.

⁸ And all who dwell on the earth will worship him, whose names have not been written in the Book of Life of the Lamb slain from the founding of a world.

¹³ And he does great signs, that he should even make fire to come down out of the heaven to the earth, in the sight of men. ¹⁴ And he deceives those who dwell on the earth by reason of the signs which it was given him to do in the sight of the beast; saying to those dwelling on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, who has the stroke of the sword, and lived.

¹⁸ Here is wisdom. He that has understanding, let him count the number of the beast; for it is a number of a man; and his number is six hundred and sixty six.

⁶ And I saw another angel flying in mid-heaven, having the eternal Gospel to proclaim to those who dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and tribe, and tongue, and people;

⁶ and there came out of the Temple the seven angels that had the seven plagues, clothed with linen pure and white, and girded about the breasts with golden girdles. ⁷ And one of the four living creatures gave to the seven angels seven golden bowls, full of the wrath of God, who liveth forever and ever.

¹⁵ "Behold, I come as a thief! Happy is he that is watching, and keeping his garments; that he walk not naked, and they see his shame."

⁸ The beast which you saw was, and is not, and is about to come up out of the abyss, and to go into perdition. And those who dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names have not been written in the book of life from the founding of the world, when they behold the beast, that he was, and is not, and shall come.

⁷ And, when the thousand years are finished, Satan will be loosed out of his prison, ⁸ and will come forth to deceive the nations that are in the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to the war, the number of whom is as the sand of the sea.

¹¹ And I saw a great white throne, and Him Who was sitting thereon, from Whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and no place was found for them.
