⁴ saying, What man of you that hath an hundred sheep, and loseth one of them, doth not leave the ninety-nine in the field, and go after that which was lost, till he find it? ⁵ And when he hath found it, he layeth it on his shoulders rejoicing:

¹⁸ I will rise and go to my father, and will say to him, Father, I have sinned against heaven and before thee, ¹⁹ and am no longer worthy to be called thy son; make me as one of thy hired servants. ²⁰ And he rose and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and was moved with compassion; and he ran and fell on his neck and kissed him. ²¹ And his son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven and before thee, and am no longer worthy to be called thy son. ²² But the father said to his servants, bring out the best robe, and put it on him, and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet: ²³ and bring hither the fatted calf and kill it, and let us eat and be merry: ²⁴ for this my son was dead, and is alive again, and was lost and is found. And they began to be merry.

¹⁴ And the pharisees also, who were covetous, heard all these things; and derided Him.

³⁴ In that night there shall be two in one bed; the one shall be taken and the other left: ³⁵ two women shall be grinding together; the one shall be taken and the other left:

¹³ But the publican standing at a distance did not presume so much as to lift up his eyes to heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, O God, be merciful to me a sinner.

¹⁰ For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.

³⁸ saying, Blessed be the king that cometh in the name of the Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest! ³⁹ And some of the pharisees from among the multitude said to Him, Master, rebuke thy disciples. ⁴⁰ And He answered them, I tell you, that if these were silent, the very stones would cry out.

²⁰ And they watched Him and sent out spies, pretending to be righteous men, to lay hold of his words, that they might deliver Him up to the power and authority of the governor. ²¹ And they asked Him, saying, Master, we know that thou speakest and teachest rightly, and acceptest not the person of any, but teachest the way of God in truth: ²² is it lawful for us to give tribute to Cesar, or not? ²³ But He perceived their craftiness, and said unto them, Why do ye tempt me? ²⁴ Shew me a penny: whose image and inscription hath it? and they answered, Cesar's. ²⁵ Then said He unto them, Render therefore unto Cesar the things that are Cesar's, and to God the things that are God's.

²³ But wo to them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days; for there shall be great distress in the land, and wrath upon this people, ²⁴ and they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and be led captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trampled down by the Gentiles, till the times of the Gentiles too shall be fulfilled.

³⁷ for I tell you, that this which is written must yet be accomplished in me, "And He was numbered with transgressors," for the things foretold concerning me are near at an end.

⁶⁴ and when they had blind-folded Him, they struck Him on the face, and asked Him, saying, Prophesy who it was that smote thee. ⁶⁵ And many other things spake they against Him, blaspheming Him. ⁶⁶ And as soon as it was day, the elders of the people, and chief-priests, and scribes, assembled together, and ordered Him up into their council: ⁶⁷ and said to Him, Art thou the Messiah? tell us. And He said unto them, If I should tell you, ye would not believe: ⁶⁸ and if I should put any question to you, ye would not answer me, nor discharge me. ⁶⁹ But hereafter shall the Son of man be seated on the right hand of the power of God. ⁷⁰ And they all said, Art thou then the Son of God?

⁷⁰ And they all said, Art thou then the Son of God?

¹ Then they all rose up and led Him to Pilate. ² And they began to accuse Him, saying, We found this fellow perverting the nation, and forbiding to give tribute to Cesar; saying, that He himself is Christ the king.

² And they began to accuse Him, saying, We found this fellow perverting the nation, and forbiding to give tribute to Cesar; saying, that He himself is Christ the king. ³ And Pilate asked Him, saying, Art thou the king of the Jews? And He answered him and said, I am as thou sayest. ⁴ But Pilate said to the chief priests, and to the people, I find nothing criminal in this man. ⁵ Then they were more vehement, saying, He stirreth up the people to sedition, spreading his doctrine throughout all Judea: having begun at Galilee and come even to this place.

⁵ Then they were more vehement, saying, He stirreth up the people to sedition, spreading his doctrine throughout all Judea: having begun at Galilee and come even to this place.

¹¹ But Herod with his soldiers set Him at nought and insulted Him, and put on Him a gaudy robe, and sent Him back to Pilate.

¹⁴ and the people, and said unto them, Ye have brought to me this man as one that perverteth the people: and behold I have examined Him before you, and found nothing chargeable on Him, of the things you alledge against Him:

¹⁴ and the people, and said unto them, Ye have brought to me this man as one that perverteth the people: and behold I have examined Him before you, and found nothing chargeable on Him, of the things you alledge against Him: ¹⁵ nor Herod neither; for I sent you to him, and behold nothing worthy of death is proved upon Him. ¹⁶ I will therefore chastise Him, and so release Him.

²⁰ Pilate therefore spake to them again, being desirous to release Jesus.

²² And he said to them a third time, what evil hath He done? I have found nothing in Him deserving death: I will therefore chastise Him, and let Him go. ²³ But they insisted upon it with loud clamours, demanding Him to be crucified: and their voices and those of the chief priests prevailed.

²⁷ And there followed Him a great multitude of people, and of women, who also bewailed and lamented Him: but Jesus turning to them said,

³⁵ And the people stood looking on, and even the rulers also with them derided Him, saying, He saved others, let Him save Himself, if He be the Christ the chosen of God.

³⁷ If thou art the king of the Jews, save thyself. ³⁸ And there was a superscription written over Him in Greek, and Latin and Hebrew letters, THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.

⁴¹ And we indeed justly; for we receive the due rewards of our deeds, but this man hath done nothing amiss. ⁴² And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom.

⁴⁷ And when the centurion saw what was done, he glorified God, saying, Certainly this man was righteous. ⁴⁸ And all the multitudes that came together to this affecting sight, seeing what happened, smote on their breasts and returned. ⁴⁹ And all his acquaintance stood at a distance, and the women that followed Him from Galilee, beholding these things.

⁵⁵ wherefore the women, that came with Him from Galilee, followed Joseph, and saw the sepulchre, and how the body was laid:

¹ And on the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they came to the sepulchre, bringing the spices which they had prepared; (and some others with them:) and found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre:

⁷ saying, the Son of man must be delivered into the hands of wicked men, and be crucified; and the third day rise again.

²⁶ Was not the Messiah to suffer these things, and so to enter into his glory?

⁴³ The day following Jesus had a mind to go out into Galilee, and meeting with Philip, saith unto him, Follow me.

⁴⁹ Nathaniel replied, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God; thou art the king of Israel.

¹¹ This beginning of his miracles Jesus wrought at Cana of Galilee, and made manifest his glory: and his disciples believed on Him.

¹⁴ And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of man be lifted up:

⁴¹ Others said, This is the Messiah. But some said, Shall the Messiah come out of Galilee?

⁵² They replied, Art thou also of Galilee? Search and see: for out of Galilee ariseth no prophet.

³³ This He said, signifying what death He should die. ³⁴ The people answered Him, We have heard out of the law, that the Messiah abideth for ever: and how sayest thou, the Son of man must be lifted up? who is this Son of man?

³ And as I go to prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you to myself, that where I am, ye may also be.

⁶ If any one abide not in me, he is cast out as a useless branch and withereth: and they gather them up, and throw them into the fire, and they are burnt.

²² If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but now they have no excuse for their sin. ²³ He that hateth me, hateth my Father also. ²⁴ If I had not done among them such works as no other ever did, they had not comparatively had sin: but now they have both seen, and hated, both me and my Father.

²⁴ Father, I desire that they also, whom thou hast given me, may be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for Thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world.

²⁸ Then they led Jesus from Caiaphas to the pretorium: (now it was morning) and they themselves went not in to the court, least they should be defiled, and so might not eat of the passover. ²⁹ Therefore Pilate went out to them, and said, What accusation do ye bring against this man? ³⁰ They answered him, If He were not a malefactor, we should not have delivered Him to thee.

³⁰ They answered him, If He were not a malefactor, we should not have delivered Him to thee. ³¹ Then said Pilate to them, Take Him, and judge Him according to your law. But the Jews said to him, It is not lawful for us to put any man to death: ³² that what Jesus had said might be fulfilled, signifying by what death He should die.

³² that what Jesus had said might be fulfilled, signifying by what death He should die. ³³ Pilate therefore went into the palace again, and called Jesus and said to Him, Art thou the king of the Jews?

³³ Pilate therefore went into the palace again, and called Jesus and said to Him, Art thou the king of the Jews? ³⁴ Jesus answered him, Dost thou say this from thyself, or did others tell it thee of me?

³⁴ Jesus answered him, Dost thou say this from thyself, or did others tell it thee of me? ³⁵ Pilate replied, Am I a Jew? thine own nation, and the chief priests, have delivered thee to me: what hast thou done?

³⁵ Pilate replied, Am I a Jew? thine own nation, and the chief priests, have delivered thee to me: what hast thou done? ³⁶ Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, my servants would have fought, that I might not have been delivered to the Jews: but my kingdom is not from hence.

³⁶ Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, my servants would have fought, that I might not have been delivered to the Jews: but my kingdom is not from hence. ³⁷ Pilate therefore said unto Him, Art thou then a king? Jesus answered, Thou sayest right, I am a king. For this end was I born, and for this came I into the world, even that I might bear witness to the truth. Every one that is of the truth, heareth my voice.

³⁷ Pilate therefore said unto Him, Art thou then a king? Jesus answered, Thou sayest right, I am a king. For this end was I born, and for this came I into the world, even that I might bear witness to the truth. Every one that is of the truth, heareth my voice. ³⁸ Pilate saith unto Him, What is truth? And as soon as he had spoke, he went out again to the Jews,

³⁸ Pilate saith unto Him, What is truth? And as soon as he had spoke, he went out again to the Jews, ³⁹ and saith unto them, I find no fault at all in Him. But ye have a custom, that I should release to you one at the passover; will ye therefore that I release to you the king of the Jews?

³⁹ and saith unto them, I find no fault at all in Him. But ye have a custom, that I should release to you one at the passover; will ye therefore that I release to you the king of the Jews? ⁴⁰ Then they all cried out again, saying, Not Him, but Barabbas. Now Barabbas was a robber.

⁴⁰ Then they all cried out again, saying, Not Him, but Barabbas. Now Barabbas was a robber.

¹ Then Pilate therefore took Jesus and scourged Him.

¹ Then Pilate therefore took Jesus and scourged Him. ² And the soldiers platted a crown of thorns, and put it on his head, ³ and threw a purple robe about Him, and said, "Hail king of the Jews," and struck Him with their hands.

³ and threw a purple robe about Him, and said, "Hail king of the Jews," and struck Him with their hands. ⁴ Pilate therefore came out again, and saith unto them, Behold I bring Him out to you, that ye may know that I find no fault in Him.

⁴ Pilate therefore came out again, and saith unto them, Behold I bring Him out to you, that ye may know that I find no fault in Him.

⁴ Pilate therefore came out again, and saith unto them, Behold I bring Him out to you, that ye may know that I find no fault in Him. ⁵ So Jesus came out wearing the crown of thorns, and the purple robe. And Pilate saith unto them, "Behold the man."

⁵ So Jesus came out wearing the crown of thorns, and the purple robe. And Pilate saith unto them, "Behold the man." ⁶ When the chief priests therefore and the officers saw Him, they cried out, saying, "Crucify Him, crucify Him." Pilate saith unto them, Take Him yourselves, and crucify Him: for I find no fault in Him. ⁷ The Jews answered him, We have a law, and by our law He ought to die, because He made himself the Son of God.

¹¹ Jesus answered, Thou couldest have no power at all against me, except it were given thee from above; wherefore he, that delivered me up to thee, hath the greater sin. ¹² Upon this Pilate sought to release Him; but the Jews cried out, saying, If thou release this man, thou art not Cesar's friend; for whosoever maketh himself a king, opposeth Cesar.

¹⁴ (And it was the preparation of the passover, and about the sixth hour.) And he saith to the Jews, Behold your king. But they cried out, ¹⁵ Away with Him, away with Him, crucify Him. Pilate saith unto them, Shall I crucify your king? The chief priests answered, We have no king but Cesar.

¹⁵ Away with Him, away with Him, crucify Him. Pilate saith unto them, Shall I crucify your king? The chief priests answered, We have no king but Cesar. ¹⁶ Then delivered he Him therefore unto them to be crucified.

¹⁶ Then delivered he Him therefore unto them to be crucified. ¹⁷ And they took Jesus, and led Him away. And He went out, bearing his cross, into a place called the place of a scull, in Hebrew Golgotha:

¹⁷ And they took Jesus, and led Him away. And He went out, bearing his cross, into a place called the place of a scull, in Hebrew Golgotha: ¹⁸ where they crucified Him, and with Him two others, one on each side, and Jesus in the middle.

¹⁸ where they crucified Him, and with Him two others, one on each side, and Jesus in the middle. ¹⁹ And Pilate wrote a title, and put it on the cross: and there was written, JESUS OF NAZARETH THE KING OF THE JEWS.

¹⁹ And Pilate wrote a title, and put it on the cross: and there was written, JESUS OF NAZARETH THE KING OF THE JEWS. ²⁰ Many of the Jews therefore read this inscription; for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city, and it was written in Hebrew, Greek, and Latin.

²⁰ Many of the Jews therefore read this inscription; for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city, and it was written in Hebrew, Greek, and Latin. ²¹ And the chief priests of the Jews said to Pilate, Write not "The king of the Jews," but that "He said, I am king of the Jews."

²¹ And the chief priests of the Jews said to Pilate, Write not "The king of the Jews," but that "He said, I am king of the Jews."

²¹ And the chief priests of the Jews 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.

²² Pilate answered, What I have written, I have written. ²³ And the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took his garments, (and made four parts, to each soldier a part,) and his coat. Now the coat had no seam in it, being woven from the top throughout:

²³ And the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took his garments, (and made four parts, to each soldier a part,) and his coat. Now the coat had no seam in it, being woven from the top throughout: ²⁴ they said therefore to one another, Let us not cut it, but let us cast lots for it, whose it shall be: that the scripture might be fulfilled, which saith, "They parted my garments among them, and upon my vesture did they cast lots." These things therefore the soldiers did.

²⁴ they said therefore to one another, Let us not cut it, but let us cast lots for it, whose it shall be: that the scripture might be fulfilled, which saith, "They parted my garments among them, and upon my vesture did they cast lots." These things therefore the soldiers did. ²⁵ Now there stood near the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Cleopas, and Mary Magdalene. ²⁶ Jesus therefore seeing his mother, and the disciple whom He loved standing by, saith to his mother, Woman, behold thy son: ²⁷ and then saith to the disciple, Behold thy mother. And from that hour the same disciple took her to his own home. ²⁸ After this Jesus knowing that all things were now finished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, saith, I thirst. ²⁹ Now there was set a vessel there full of vinegar: so they filled a spunge with the vinegar, and putting it upon hyssop, held it up to his mouth. ³⁰ And when Jesus had received the vinegar, He said, It is finished. And reclining his head, He yielded up the ghost.

³⁰ And when Jesus had received the vinegar, He said, It is finished. And reclining his head, He yielded up the ghost. ³¹ The Jews therefore, that the bodies might not remain upon the cross on the sabbath-day, because it was now the preparation, (for that sabbath-day was an high-day) desired Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.

³⁸ And after these things Joseph of Arimathea (who was a disciple of Jesus, but a concealed one for fear of the Jews) petitioned Pilate, that he might take away the body of Jesus; and Pilate gave him leave: he came therefore and took away the body of Jesus. ³⁹ And there came also Nicodemus (who at first came to Jesus by night) and brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes about an hundred pound weight. ⁴⁰ So they took the body of Jesus, and wound it in linen cloths, with the spices, as the custom of the Jews is to bury. ⁴¹ Now there was a garden in the place where He was crucified; and in the garden a new sepulchre, in which none had ever yet been laid. ⁴² There therefore they laid Jesus, because of the Jews preparation-day; for the sepulchre was near.

⁴² There therefore they laid Jesus, because of the Jews preparation-day; for the sepulchre was near.

²⁸ And Thomas answered, and said, "My Lord and my God."

¹⁰ Egypt and the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and strangers from Rome, Jews and proselytes,

²⁰ The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and illustrious day of the Lord come.

²³ (as ye yourselves also know,) Him being given up by the determinate counsel and fore-knowlege of God ye have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain.

³⁷ Now when they heard this, they were pricked to the heart, and said unto Peter, and to the rest of the apostles, Brethren, what shall we do?

¹⁴ But ye refused the holy and righteous One, and desired a murderer to be granted unto you:

¹⁷ And now, brethren, I know that ye did it through ignorance, as did also your rulers:

²⁷ For of a truth both Herod and Pontius Pilate, the Gentiles and the people of Israel, combined against thy holy child Jesus,

²⁷ For of a truth both Herod and Pontius Pilate, the Gentiles and the people of Israel, combined against thy holy child Jesus, ²⁸ (whom Thou hast anointed,) to do whatever thy hand and thy counsel had before determined to be done.

³⁰ The God of our fathers hath raised up Jesus whom ye slew and hanged on a tree.

³³ And when they heard this, they were cut to the heart, and took counsel to put them to death.

³⁷ After him arose Judas the Galilean, at the time of the registring, and drew much people after him: but he also perished, and all that followed him were dispersed.

⁴⁰ So they took his advice, and having called for the apostles and scourged them, they charged them not to speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go. ⁴¹ And they departed from the presence of the council rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer disgrace for his name.

⁶ These they set before the apostles; who, when they had prayed, laid their hands upon them.

⁹ But there rose up some of the synagogue, which is called that of the libertines, and some of the Cyrenians, and of the Alexandrians, and of them of Cilicia, and Asia, to dispute with Stephen:

⁵⁴ And when they heard these things, they were cut to the heart and gnashed their teeth at him.

⁵⁷ Then they cried out with a loud voice, and stopped their ears, and ran upon him with one accord,

⁵⁹ And they stoned Stephen calling upon God, and saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit. ⁶⁰ And bending his knees, he cried with a loud voice, Lord, lay not this sin to their charge. And when he had said this he fell asleep.

¹⁹ saying, Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I lay hands, he may receive the holy Spirit.

³² And the portion of scripture, which he was reading, was this, "He was led as a sheep to the slaughter, and as a lamb before it's shearer is dumb, so He opened not his mouth:

² and one that feared God, with all his house; giving also much alms to the people, and praying to God continually.

²² And they said, Cornelius the centurion, a righteous man, and one that feareth God, and of a good character among all the nation of the Jews, hath been warned from God by an holy angel, to send for thee to his house, and to hear what thou shalt say.

³⁷ Ye know the report that was spread through all Judea, having begun from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached: concerning Jesus of Nazareth,

²⁴ For he was a good man, and full of the holy Spirit, and of faith: and many were added unto the Lord.

¹ Now there were in the church that was at Antioch certain prophets and teachers, as Barnabas, and Simeon called Niger, and Lucius the Cyrenean, and Manaen who had been educated with Herod the tetrarch, and Saul;

²⁸ And though they found in Him no capital offence, yet they desired of Pilate that He might be put to death. ²⁹ And when they had finished all things that were written concerning Him, they took Him down from the cross and laid Him in a tomb.

²⁰ And when they brought them to the governors, they said, These men cause great disturbance in our city, for they are Jews, and teach customs, ²¹ which it is not lawful for us to receive, nor practise, who are Romans.

³¹ And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thine house.

³⁷ But Paul said unto them, They have publicly beaten us, uncondemned, and Romans, and cast us into prison, and do they now turn us out privately? No verily, let them come themselves and fetch us out.

⁶ But not finding them, they dragged Jason and some of the brethren to the rulers of the city, crying out, these men that have turned the world upside down, ⁷ are come hither also, and Jason has privately received them. And they all act contrary to the decrees of Cesar, saying, there is another king, one Jesus.

²¹ testifying both to the Jews and Greeks, repentance towards God, and faith in our Lord Jesus Christ.

³⁶ For the multitude followed crying out, Away with him.

²² And they heard him to this word, and then they exalted their voice, saying, Away with such a fellow from the earth; for it is not fit that he should live.

¹⁰ But as there arose much contention, the tribune fearing least Paul should be torn in pieces by them, ordered a party of soldiers to go down, and take him by force out of the midst of them, and to bring him into the castle.

⁵ For having found this man a pestilent fellow, and a mover of sedition among all the Jews throughout the world, and a ring-leader of the sect of the Nazarenes,

¹³ nor can they prove the things of which they now accuse me.

²⁰ Now the law made some entrance, that the offence might appear to abound; but where sin abounded, grace hath superabounded; that as sin had reigned in death, ²¹ so grace might reign through righteousness, unto eternal life, by Jesus Christ our Lord.

⁹ and believe in thine heart, that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. ¹⁰ For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. ¹¹ For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on Him, shall not be ashamed. ¹² For there is no difference of Jew and Greek: for He being Lord of all is bountiful to all that call upon Him. ¹³ For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. ¹⁴ But how shall they call upon him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe on him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?

¹⁴ Bless them that persecute you: bless them, I say, and do not curse them.

⁸ which none of the rulers of this age knew; for if they had known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.

¹² and we labour working with our own hands. When we are reviled, we bless: when persecuted, we bear it: when defamed, we intreat.

¹⁰ nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor rapacious persons, shall inherit the kingdom of God. ¹¹ And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the spirit of our God.

⁸ and well-pleased rather to be absent from the body, and to dwell with the Lord.

³ And I know such a man (whether then in the body, or out of the body, ⁴ I know not, God knoweth) that he was caught up into paradise, and heard unutterable words, which it is not permitted unto man to speak.

¹³ Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, having been made a curse for us: for it is written, "Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:"

¹⁴ For He is our peace, who hath made both one, and removed the wall of partition from between us; ¹⁵ having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances, that He might form the two into one new man, in Himself, so making peace; ¹⁶ and that He might reconcile both in one body unto God, by the cross, having thereby slain the enmity: ¹⁷ and He came and preached peace to you that were afar off, and to them that were nigh. ¹⁸ For through Him we both have access by one Spirit to the Father.

¹¹ And have no communion with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.

²³ for I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ, which is much preferable:

¹³ who before was a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and an oppressor. But I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief: and the grace of our Lord superabounded,

¹⁵ It is a truth highly to be believed, and worthy to be received by all, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners:---of whom I am one of the chief. ¹⁶ But for this end I obtained mercy, that in me a chief sinner Jesus Christ might display his long-suffering, for an example to those who should afterwards believe on Him to eternal life.

¹³ I charge thee before God, who giveth life to all, and before Christ Jesus who witnessed a good confession before Pontius Pilate,

⁸ but that which bringeth forth thorns and briars, is rejected and near to a curse, (whose end is burning) so are they.

¹⁹ which we have as an anchor of the soul safe and stedfast, and which entereth within the veil.

²⁵ wherefore also He is able to save to the uttermost, those that come unto God by Him, seeing He ever liveth to make intercession for them. ²⁶ For such an high-priest was meet for us, who was holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and higher than the heavens;

³ And beyond the second veil, the tabernacle which is called the Holy of holies, having the golden censer, ⁴ and the ark of the covenant which was overlaid all round with gold, and in which was the golden pot with the manna in it, and Aaron's rod that budded, and the tables of the covenant; ⁵ and over it the cherubims of glory shadowing the mercyseat: of which it is not necessary now to speak particularly. ⁶ Now these things being thus disposed, the priests always went into the first part of the tabernacle to perform their daily services: ⁷ but into the second only the high-priest went once a year; and that not without blood, which he offered for himself, and for the sins of the people committed through ignorance. ⁸ The Holy Ghost shewing by this, that the way into the Holy of holies was not yet manifested, the first tabernacle being yet standing.

¹⁹ Having therefore, brethren, free admission into the holy places by the blood of Jesus, ²⁰ the new and living way which He hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, ²¹ his flesh, and having a great high-priest over the house of God, ²² let us draw near with sincerity, in the full assurance of faith, having our hearts cleansed from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.

² looking unto Jesus the leader and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.

¹² Wherefore Jesus also, that He might sanctify the people by his own blood, suffered without the gate. ¹³ Let us then go out unto Him without the camp, bearing his reproach: for we have here no continuing city,

⁷ Submit yourselves therefore to God: resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

¹¹ searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ in them did declare in testifying beforehand the sufferings that were to come upon Christ, and the glories following them:

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

⁴ to whom coming as to a living stone, rejected indeed by men, but chosen of God,

⁶ Whence also it is said in scripture, Behold I lay in Sion a chief corner-stone, choice and precious: and he that confideth on it shall not be ashamed. ⁷ To you therefore who believe it is precious: but to them that are disobedient, the stone which the builders rejected is become the head of the corner,

²⁰ For what glory is it, if when ye sin and are punished for it, ye bear it patiently? but if when ye do well and suffer for it, ye bear it patiently, this will gain favor with God. ²¹ For unto this are ye called; because Christ suffered for you, leaving you an example, that ye might follow his steps. ²² Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth:

²² Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth: ²³ who, when He was reviled, reviled not again; when He suffered, He threatened not; but committed Himself to Him that judgeth righteously.

²³ who, when He was reviled, reviled not again; when He suffered, He threatened not; but committed Himself to Him that judgeth righteously. ²⁴ Who Himself bare our sins in his own body on the cross, that we being dead to sins, might live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye are healed.

⁹ not returning evil for evil, or reproach for reproach: but on the contrary blessing even those that curse you: knowing ye are called unto this, that ye may obtain a blessing.

¹⁶ having a good conscience, that whereas they speak against you as evil-doers, they may be ashamed who calumniate your good conversation in Christ. ¹⁷ For it is better (if it be the will of God) to suffer for doing good than for doing evil. ¹⁸ As Christ also once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust (that He might introduce us to God) being indeed put to death in the flesh, but raised to life by the Spirit:
