²³ It is necessary, therefore, the pattern indeed of the things in the heavens to be purified with these, and the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these;

⁴ for it is impossible for blood of bulls and goats to take away sins. ⁵ Wherefore, coming into the world, he saith, `Sacrifice and offering Thou didst not will, and a body Thou didst prepare for me, <sup>6</sup> in burnt-offerings, and concerning sin-offerings, Thou didst not delight,
<sup>7</sup> then I said, Lo, I come, (in a volume of the book it hath been written concerning me,) to do, O God, Thy will;' <sup>8</sup> saying above—`Sacrifice, and offering, and burnt-offerings, and concerning sin-offering Thou didst not will, nor delight in,' —which according to the law are offered— ⁹ then he said, `Lo, I come to do, O God, Thy will;' he doth take away the first that the second he may establish; ¹⁰ in the which will we are having been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once,

⁶ I wash in innocency my hands, And I compass Thine altar, O Jehovah.

⁷ Thou cleansest me with hyssop and I am clean, Washest me, and than snow I am whiter.

¹⁴ Wash from evil thy heart, O Jerusalem, That thou mayest be saved, Till when dost thou lodge in thy heart Thoughts of thy strength?

²⁴ And Pilate having seen that it profiteth nothing, but rather a tumult is made, having taken water, he did wash the hands before the multitude, saying, `I am innocent from the blood of this righteous one; ye—ye shall see;'

²¹ also to which an antitype doth now save us—baptism, (not a putting away of the filth of flesh, but the question of a good conscience in regard to God,) through the rising again of Jesus Christ,

²⁶ `And he who is sending away the goat for a goat of departure doth wash his garments, and hath bathed his flesh with water, and afterwards he cometh in unto the camp.

²⁸ and he who is burning them doth wash his garments, and hath bathed his flesh with water, and afterwards he cometh in unto the camp.

¹⁵ `And any person who eateth a carcase or torn thing, among natives or among sojourners—hath both washed his garments, and hath bathed with water, and hath been unclean until the evening—then he hath been clean; ¹⁶ and if he wash not, and his flesh bathe not—then he hath borne his iniquity.'

⁷ and the priest hath washed his garments, and hath bathed his flesh with water, and afterwards doth come in unto the camp, and the priest is unclean till the evening; ⁸ and he who is burning it doth wash his garments with water, and hath bathed his flesh with water, and is unclean till the evening.

¹² he doth cleanse himself for it on the third day, and on the seventh day he is clean; and if he cleanse not himself on the third day, then on the seventh day he is not clean. ¹³ Any one who is coming against the dead, against the body of man who dieth, and cleanseth not himself—the tabernacle of Jehovah he hath defiled, and that person hath been cut off from Israel, for water of separation is not sprinkled upon him; he is unclean; his uncleanness is still upon him.

¹⁹ `And the clean hath sprinkled it on the unclean on the third day, and on the seventh day, and hath cleansed him on the seventh day, and he hath washed his garments, and hath bathed with water, and hath been clean in the evening. <sup>20</sup> `And the man who is unclean, and doth not cleanse himself, even that person hath been cut off from the midst of the assembly; for the sanctuary of Jehovah he hath defiled; water of separation is not sprinkled upon him; he is unclean. ²¹ `And it hath been to them for a statute age-during, that he who is sprinkling the water of separation doth wash his garments, and he who is coming against the water of separation is unclean till the evening,

²⁰ Because there is not a righteous man on earth that doth good and sinneth not.

⁷ Thou art all fair, my friend, And a blemish there is not in thee. Come from Lebanon, O spouse,

²⁰ In those days, and at that time, An affirmation of Jehovah, Sought is the iniquity of Israel, and it is not, And the sin of Judah, and it is not found, For I am propitious to those whom I leave!

¹² `And forgive us our debts, as also we forgive our debtors.

³ already ye are clean, because of the word that I have spoken to you;

²⁰ And if what I do not will, this I do, it is no longer I that work it, but the sin that is dwelling in me. ²¹ I find, then, the law, that when I desire to do what is right, with me the evil is present, ²² for I delight in the law of God according to the inward man, ²³ and I behold another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of the sin that is in my members.

¹⁷ so that if any one is in Christ—he is a new creature; the old things did pass away, lo, become new have the all things.

²¹ for him who did not know sin, in our behalf He did make sin, that we may become the righteousness of God in him.

¹ Having, then, these promises, beloved, may we cleanse ourselves from every pollution of flesh and spirit, perfecting sanctification in the fear of God;

²² ye are to put off concerning the former behaviour the old man, that is corrupt according to the desires of the deceit, ²³ and to be renewed in the spirit of your mind, ²⁴ and to put on the new man, which, according to God, was created in righteousness and kindness of the truth.

²⁶ that he might sanctify it, having cleansed it with the bathing of the water in the saying, ²⁷ that he might present it to himself the assembly in glory, not having spot or wrinkle, or any of such things, but that it may be holy and unblemished;

²³ and the God of the peace Himself sanctify you wholly, and may your whole spirit, and soul, and body, be preserved unblameably in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ;

¹⁰ only in victuals, and drinks, and different baptisms, and fleshly ordinances—till the time of reformation imposed upon them .

² for we all make many stumbles; if any one in word doth not stumble, this one is a perfect man, able to bridle also the whole body;

⁷ and if in the light we may walk, as He is in the light—we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son doth cleanse us from every sin;
⁸ if we may say—`we have not sin,' ourselves we lead astray, and the truth is not in us; <sup>9</sup> if we may confess our sins, stedfast He is and righteous that He may forgive us the sins, and may cleanse us from every unrighteousness; <sup>10</sup> if we may say—`we have not sinned,' a liar we make Him, and His word is not in us.

²⁴ the Son of Man doth indeed go, as it hath been written concerning him, but woe to that man through whom the Son of Man is delivered up! good it were for him if that man had not been born.' ²⁵ And Judas—he who delivered him up—answering said, `Is it I, Rabbi?' He saith to him, `Thou hast said.'

²⁵ and because he had no need that any should testify concerning man, for he himself was knowing what was in man.

⁶⁴ but there are certain of you who do not believe;' for Jesus had known from the beginning who they are who are not believing, and who is he who will deliver him up, ⁶⁵ and he said, `Because of this I have said to you—No one is able to come unto me, if it may not have been given him from my Father.' <sup>66</sup> From this time many of his disciples went away backward, and were no more walking with him, <sup>67</sup> Jesus, therefore, said to the twelve, `Do ye also wish to go away?' ⁶⁸ Simon Peter, therefore, answered him, `Sir, unto whom shall we go? thou hast sayings of life age-during; ⁶⁹ and we have believed, and we have known, that thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.'

² And supper being come, the devil already having put it into the heart of Judas of Simon, Iscariot, that he may deliver him up,

¹⁸ not concerning you all do I speak; I have known whom I chose for myself; but that the Writing may be fulfilled: He who is eating the bread with me, did lift up against me his heel.

²¹ These things having said, Jesus was troubled in the spirit, and did testify, and said, `Verily, verily, I say to you, that one of you will deliver me up;'

²⁶ Jesus answereth, `That one it is to whom I, having dipped the morsel, shall give it;' and having dipped the morsel, he giveth it to Judas of Simon, Iscariot.

¹² when I was with them in the world, I was keeping them in Thy name; those whom Thou hast given to me I did guard, and none of them was destroyed, except the son of the destruction, that the Writing may be fulfilled.

¹⁹ And the people say unto me, `Dost thou not declare to us what these are to us, that thou art doing?'

²⁴ And Ezekiel hath been to you for a type, According to all that he hath done ye do; In its coming in—ye have known that I am the Lord Jehovah.

⁵¹ Jesus saith to them, `Did ye understand all these?' They say to him, `Yes, sir.'

¹³ And he saith to them, `Have ye not known this simile? and how shall ye know all the similes?

⁷ Jesus answered and said to him, `That which I do thou hast not known now, but thou shalt know after these things;'

¹² And Jehovah saith unto me, `Thou hast well seen: for I am watching over My word to do it.'

²¹ `Not every one who is saying to me Lord, lord, shall come into the reign of the heavens; but he who is doing the will of my Father who is in the heavens. ²² Many will say to me in that day, Lord, lord, have we not in thy name prophesied? and in thy name cast out demons? and in thy name done many mighty things?

⁸ `And ye—ye may not be called Rabbi, for one is your director—the Christ, and all ye are brethren; ⁹ and ye may not call any your father on the earth, for one is your Father, who is in the heavens, ¹⁰ nor may ye be called directors, for one is your director—the Christ.

⁴⁶ `And why do ye call me, Lord, Lord, and do not what I say?

⁴³ And Simon answering said, `I suppose that to whom he forgave the more;' and he said to him, `Rightly thou didst judge.'

²⁸ And he said to him, `Rightly thou didst answer; this do, and thou shalt live.'

²⁸ And these things having said, she went away, and called Mary her sister privately, saying, `The Teacher is present, and doth call thee;'

⁸ for both, if we may live, to the Lord we live; if also we may die, to the Lord we die; both then if we may live, also if we may die, we are the Lord's; ⁹ for because of this Christ both died and rose again, and lived again, that both of dead and of living he may be Lord.

⁶ yet to us is one God, the Father, of whom are the all things, and we to Him; and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are the all things, and we through Him;

³ wherefore, I give you to understand that no one, in the Spirit of God speaking, saith Jesus is anathema, and no one is able to say Jesus is Lord, except in the Holy Spirit.

¹¹ and every tongue may confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

⁸ yes, indeed, and I count all things to be loss, because of the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, because of whom of the all things I suffered loss, and do count them to be refuse, that Christ I may gain, and be found in him,

¹⁹ thou—thou dost believe that God is one; thou dost well, and the demons believe, and they shudder!

¹⁴ having known that soon is the laying aside of my tabernacle, even as also our Lord Jesus Christ did shew to me, ¹⁵ and I will be diligent that also at every time ye have, after my outgoing, power to make to yourselves the remembrance of these things.
¹⁶ For, skilfully devised fables not having followed out, we did make known to you the power and presence of our Lord Jesus Christ, but eye-witnesses having become of his majesty—

²⁶ but not so shall it be among you, but whoever may will among you to become great, let him be your ministrant; ²⁷ and whoever may will among you to be first, let him be your servant; ²⁸ even as the Son of Man did not come to be ministered to, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.'

⁴³ but not so shall it be among you; but whoever may will to become great among you, he shall be your minister, ⁴⁴ and whoever of you may will to become first, he shall be servant of all; ⁴⁵ for even the Son of Man came not to be ministered to, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.'

²⁶ but ye are not so, but he who is greater among you—let him be as the younger; and he who is leading, as he who is ministering; ²⁷ for who is greater? he who is reclining (at meat), or he who is ministering? is it not he who is reclining (at meat)? and I—I am in your midst as he who is ministering.

³⁵ all things I did shew you, that, thus labouring, it behoveth us to partake with the ailing, to be mindful also of the words of the Lord Jesus, that he himself said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.'

¹⁰ in the love of brethren, to one another kindly affectioned: in the honour going before one another;

¹⁶ of the same mind one toward another, not minding the high things, but with the lowly going along; become not wise in your own conceit;

¹ And we ought—we who are strong—to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves; ² for let each one of us please the neighbour for good, unto edification, ³ for even the Christ did not please himself, but, according as it hath been written, `The reproaches of those reproaching Thee fell upon me;'

¹³ wherefore, if victuals cause my brother to stumble, I may eat no flesh—to the age—that my brother I may not cause to stumble.

¹⁹ for being free from all men, to all men I made myself servant, that the more I might gain; ²⁰ and I became to the Jews as a Jew, that Jews I might gain; to those under law as under law, that those under law I might gain; ²¹ to those without law, as without law—(not being without law to God, but within law to Christ) —that I might gain those without law; ²² I became to the infirm as infirm, that the infirm I might gain; to all men I have become all things, that by all means I may save some.

¹ And I, Paul, myself, do call upon you—through the meekness and gentleness of the Christ—who in presence, indeed am humble among you, and being absent, have courage toward you,

¹³ For ye—to freedom ye were called, brethren, only not the freedom for an occasion to the flesh, but through the love serve ye one another,

¹ Brethren, if a man also may be overtaken in any trespass, ye who are spiritual restore such a one in a spirit of meekness, considering thyself—lest thou also may be tempted; ² of one another the burdens bear ye, and so fill up the law of the Christ,

² fulfil ye my joy, that ye may mind the same thing—having the same love—of one soul—minding the one thing, ³ nothing in rivalry or vain-glory, but in humility of mind one another counting more excellent than yourselves— ⁴ each not to your own look ye, but each also to the things of others. ⁵ For, let this mind be in you that is also in Christ Jesus,

⁸ through being a Son, did learn by the things which he suffered—the obedience, ⁹ and having been made perfect, he did become to all those obeying him a cause of salvation age-during,

² looking to the author and perfecter of faith—Jesus, who, over-against the joy set before him—did endure a cross, shame having despised, on the right hand also of the throne of God did sit down;

¹ Christ, then, having suffered for us in the flesh, ye also with the same mind arm yourselves, because he who did suffer in the flesh hath done with sin,

⁵ In like manner, ye younger, be subject to elders, and all to one another subjecting yourselves; with humble-mindedness clothe yourselves, because God the proud doth resist, but to the humble He doth give grace;

²⁹ take up my yoke upon you, and learn from me, because I am meek and humble in heart, and ye shall find rest to your souls,

⁵ And may the God of the endurance, and of the exhortation, give to you to have the same mind toward one another, according to Christ Jesus;

² and walk in love, as also the Christ did love us, and did give himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for an odour of a sweet smell,

²¹ for to this ye were called, because Christ also did suffer for you, leaving to you an example, that ye may follow his steps,

¹⁷ for it is better doing good, if the will of God will it, to suffer, than doing evil;
¹⁸ because also Christ once for sin did suffer—righteous for unrighteous—that he might lead us to God, having been put to death indeed, in the flesh, and having been made alive in the spirit,

⁶ He who is saying in him he doth remain, ought according as he walked also himself so to walk.

²⁴ `A disciple is not above the teacher, nor a servant above his lord; ²⁵ sufficient to the disciple that he may be as his teacher, and the servant as his lord; if the master of the house they did call Beelzeboul, how much more those of his household?

⁴⁰ A disciple is not above his teacher, but every one perfected shall be as his teacher.

³ Jesus answered and said to him, `Verily, verily, I say to thee, If any one may not be born from above, he is not able to see the reign of God;'

²⁰ `Remember the word that I said to you, A servant is not greater than his lord; if me they did persecute, you also they will persecute; if my word they did keep, yours also they will keep;

²² And Noah doth according to all that God hath commanded him; so hath he done.

¹⁶ And Moses doth according to all that Jehovah hath commanded him; so he hath done.

¹¹ Also—Thy servant is warned by them, `In keeping them is a great reward.'

¹ Aleph. O the happiness of those perfect in the way, They are walking in the law of Jehovah, ² O the happiness of those keeping His testimonies, With the whole heart they seek Him. ³ Yea, they have not done iniquity, In His ways they have walked.
⁴ Thou hast commanded us Thy precepts to keep diligently, ⁵ O that my ways were prepared to keep Thy statutes,

²⁷ And My Spirit I give in your midst, And I have done this, so that in My statutes ye walk, And My judgments ye keep, and have done them.

²⁴ `Therefore, every one who doth hear of me these words, and doth do them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house upon the rock; ²⁵ and the rain did descend, and the streams came, and the winds blew, and they beat on that house, and it fell not, for it had been founded on the rock.

⁵⁰ for whoever may do the will of my Father who is in the heavens, he is my brother, and sister, and mother.'

³⁸ this is a first and great command; ³⁹ and the second is like to it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself; ⁴⁰ on these—the two commands—all the law and the prophets do hang.'
⁴¹ And the Pharisees having been gathered together, Jesus did question them,

²⁸ And he said, `Yea, rather, happy those hearing the word of God, and keeping it!'

⁴⁷ `And that servant, who having known his lord's will, and not having prepared, nor having gone according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes, ⁴⁸ and he who, not having known, and having done things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few; and to every one to whom much was given, much shall be required from him; and to whom they did commit much, more abundantly they will ask of him.

¹⁴ ye are my friends, if ye may do whatever I command you;

¹⁴ for the love of the Christ doth constrain us, having judged thus: that if one for all died, then the whole died, ¹⁵ and for all he died, that those living, no more to themselves may live, but to him who died for them, and was raised again.

⁶ for in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth anything, nor uncircumcision, but faith through love working.

⁷ By faith Noah, having been divinely warned concerning the things not yet seen, having feared, did prepare an ark to the salvation of his house, through which he did condemn the world, and of the righteousness according to faith he became heir. ⁸ By faith Abraham, being called, did obey, to go forth to the place that he was about to receive for an inheritance, and he went forth, not knowing whither he doth go;

²⁵ and he who did look into the perfect law—that of liberty, and did continue there, this one—not a forgetful hearer becoming, but a doer of work—this one shall be happy in his doing.

²⁰ And dost thou wish to know, O vain man, that the faith apart from the works is dead? ²¹ Abraham our father—was not he declared righteous out of works, having brought up Isaac his son upon the altar? ²² dost thou see that the faith was working with his works, and out of the works the faith was perfected? ²³ and fulfilled was the Writing that is saying, `And Abraham did believe God, and it was reckoned to him—to righteousness;' and, `Friend of God' he was called. ²⁴ Ye see, then, that out of works is man declared righteous, and not out of faith only;

¹⁷ to him, then, knowing to do good, and not doing, sin it is to him.

¹⁴ `Happy are those doing His commands that the authority shall be theirs unto the tree of the life, and by the gates they may enter into the city;

⁹ Even mine ally, in whom I trusted, One eating my bread, made great the heel against me,

³⁶ and the enemies of a man are those of his household.

²³ And he answering said, `He who did dip with me the hand in the dish, he will deliver me up;

²⁰ And he answering said to them, `One of the twelve who is dipping with me in the dish;

⁷⁰ Jesus answered them, `Did not I choose you—the twelve? and of you—one is a devil.

¹⁰ Jesus saith to him, `He who hath been bathed hath no need save to wash his feet, but he is clean altogether; and ye are clean, but not all;' <sup>11</sup> for he knew him who is delivering him up; because of this he said, `Ye are not all clean.'

¹⁶ `Ye did not choose out me, but I chose out you, and did appoint you, that ye might go away, and might bear fruit, and your fruit might remain, that whatever ye may ask of the Father in my name, He may give you.

¹⁹ if of the world ye were, the world its own would have been loving, and because of the world ye are not—but I chose out of the world—because of this the world hateth you.

¹⁷ He saith to him the third time, `Simon, son of Jonas, dost thou dearly love me?' Peter was grieved that he said to him the third time, `Dost thou dearly love me?' and he said to him, `Lord, thou hast known all things; thou dost know that I dearly love thee.' Jesus saith to him, `Feed my sheep;

⁵ for not ourselves do we preach, but Christ Jesus—Lord, and ourselves your servants because of Jesus;

¹³ and there is not a created thing not manifest before Him, but all things are naked and open to His eyes—with whom is our reckoning.

²³ and her children I will kill in death, and know shall all the assemblies that I am he who is searching reins and hearts; and I will give to you—to each—according to your works.

²³ Declare the things that are coming hereafter, And we know that ye are gods, Yea, ye may do good or do evil, And we look around and see it together.

¹⁰ Ye are My witnesses, an affirmation of Jehovah, And My servant whom I have chosen, So that ye know and give credence to Me, And understand that I am He, Before Me there was no God formed, And after Me there is none.

⁵ And I declare to thee from that time, Before it cometh I have caused thee to hear, Lest thou say, `Mine idol hath done them, And my graven image, And my molten image did command them.

¹ Lo, I am sending My messenger, And he hath prepared a way before Me, And suddenly come in unto his temple Doth the Lord whom ye are seeking, Even the messenger of the covenant, Whom ye are desiring, Lo, he is coming, said Jehovah of Hosts.

³ said to him, `Art thou He who is coming, or for another do we look?'

²⁵ Lo, I did tell you beforehand.

¹³ and it shall become to you for a testimony.

¹⁵ John doth testify concerning him, and hath cried, saying, `This was he of whom I said, He who after me is coming, hath come before me, for he was before me;'

²³ and he said to them, `Ye are from beneath, I am from above; ye are of this world, I am not of this world; ²⁴ I said, therefore, to you, that ye shall die in your sins, for if ye may not believe that I am he, ye shall die in your sins.'

⁵⁸ Jesus said to them, `Verily, verily, I say to you, Before Abraham's coming—I am;'

²⁹ `And now I have said it to you before it come to pass, that when it may come to pass, ye may believe;

⁴ `But these things I have spoken to you, that when the hour may come, ye may remember them, that I said them to you, and these things to you from the beginning I did not say, because I was with you;

¹⁷ And when I saw him, I did fall at his feet as dead, and he placed his right hand upon me, saying to me, `Be not afraid; I am the First and the Last, ¹⁸ and he who is living, and I did become dead, and, lo, I am living to the ages of the ages. Amen! and I have the keys of the hades and of the death.

⁴⁰ `He who is receiving you doth receive me, and he who is receiving me doth receive Him who sent me, ⁴¹ he who is receiving a prophet in the name of a prophet, shall receive a prophet's reward, and he who is receiving a righteous man in the name of a righteous man, shall receive a righteous man's reward, ⁴² and whoever may give to drink to one of these little ones a cup of cold water only in the name of a disciple, verily I say to you, he may not lose his reward.'

⁴⁰ `And the king answering, shall say to them, Verily I say to you, Inasmuch as ye did it to one of these my brethren—the least—to me ye did it .

³⁷ `Whoever may receive one of such children in my name, doth receive me, and whoever may receive me, doth not receive me, but Him who sent me.'

⁴⁸ and said to them, `Whoever may receive this child in my name, doth receive me, and whoever may receive me, doth receive Him who sent me, for he who is least among you all—he shall be great.'

¹⁶ `He who is hearing you, doth hear me; and he who is putting you away, doth put me away; and he who is putting me away, doth put away Him who sent me.'

⁴⁴ And Jesus cried and said, `He who is believing in me, doth not believe in me, but in Him who sent me; <sup>45</sup> and he who is beholding me, doth behold Him who sent me; <sup>46</sup> I a light to the world have come, that every one who is believing in me—in the darkness may not remain; <sup>47</sup> and if any one may hear my sayings, and not believe, I—I do not judge him, for I came not that I might judge the world, but that I might save the world. <sup>48</sup> `He who is rejecting me, and not receiving my sayings, hath one who is judging him, the word that I spake, that will judge him in the last day,

¹⁴ and my trial that is in my flesh ye did not despise nor reject, but as a messenger of God ye did receive me—as Christ Jesus;

⁶ as, then, ye did receive Christ Jesus the Lord, in him walk ye,

⁸ he, therefore, who is despising—doth not despise man, but God, who also did give His Holy Spirit to us.

²¹ and while they are eating, he said, `Verily I say to you, that one of you shall deliver me up.'

³⁸ then saith he to them, `Exceedingly sorrowful is my soul—unto death; abide ye here, and watch with me.'

⁵ And having looked round upon them with anger, being grieved for the hardness of their heart, he saith to the man, `Stretch forth thy hand;' and he stretched forth, and his hand was restored whole as the other;

¹⁸ and as they are reclining, and eating, Jesus said, `Verily I say to you—one of you, who is eating with me—shall deliver me up.'

²¹ `But, lo, the hand of him delivering me up is with me on the table, ²² and indeed the Son of Man doth go according to what hath been determined; but woe to that man through whom he is being delivered up.'

³³ Jesus, therefore, when he saw her weeping, and the Jews who came with her weeping, did groan in the spirit, and troubled himself, and he said,

³⁵ Jesus wept.

³⁸ Jesus, therefore, again groaning in himself, cometh to the tomb, and it was a cave, and a stone was lying upon it,

²⁷ `Now hath my soul been troubled, and what? shall I say—Father, save me from this hour? —but because of this I came to this hour;

¹⁶ `Men, brethren, it behoved this Writing that it be fulfilled that beforehand the Holy Spirit spake through the mouth of David, concerning Judas, who became guide to those who took Jesus, ¹⁷ because he was numbered among us, and did receive the share in this ministration,

¹⁶ and Paul waiting for them in Athens, his spirit was stirred in him, beholding the city wholly given to idolatry,

² that I have great grief and unceasing pain in my heart— ³ for I was wishing, I myself, to be anathema from the Christ—for my brethren, my kindred, according to the flesh,

¹² And having come to Troas for the good news of the Christ, and a door to me having been opened in the Lord, ¹³ I have not had rest to my spirit, on my not finding Titus my brother, but having taken leave of them, I went forth to Macedonia;

¹⁹ out of us they went forth, but they were not of us, for if they had been of us, they would have remained with us; but—that they might be manifested that they are not all of us.

¹ And Jacob seeth that there is corn in Egypt, and Jacob saith to his sons, `Why do you look at each other?'

²² And being grieved exceedingly, they began to say to him, each of them, `Is it I, Sir?'

¹⁹ And they began to be sorrowful, and to say to him, one by one, `Is it I?' and another, `Is it I?'

²³ And they began to reason among themselves, who then of them it may be, who is about to do this thing.

³ And the poor one hath nothing, Except one little ewe-lamb, Which he hath bought, and keepeth alive, And it groweth up with him, And with his sons together; Of his morsel it eateth, And from his cup it drinketh, And in his bosom it lieth, And it is to him as a daughter;

³ therefore sent the sisters unto him, saying, `Sir, lo, he whom thou dost love is ailing;'

⁵ And Jesus was loving Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus,

³⁶ The Jews, therefore, said, `Lo, how he was loving him!'

²⁵ and that one having leant back on the breast of Jesus, respondeth to him, `Sir, who is it?'

²⁶ Jesus, therefore, having seen his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he was loving, he saith to his mother, `Woman, lo, thy son;'

² she runneth, therefore, and cometh unto Simon Peter, and unto the other disciple whom Jesus was loving, and saith to them, `They took away the Lord out of the tomb, and we have not known where they laid him.'

⁷ That disciple, therefore, whom Jesus was loving saith to Peter, `The Lord it is!' Simon Peter, therefore, having heard that it is the Lord, did gird on the outer coat, (for he was naked,) and did cast himself into the sea;

²⁰ And Peter having turned about doth see the disciple whom Jesus was loving following, (who also reclined in the supper on his breast, and said, `Sir, who is he who is delivering thee up?')

²⁴ this is the disciple who is testifying concerning these things, and he wrote these things, and we have known that his testimony is true.

¹⁶ and having in his right hand seven stars, and out of his mouth a sharp two-edged sword is proceeding, and his countenance is as the sun shining in its might.

²² and having come out, he was not able to speak to them, and they perceived that a vision he had seen in the sanctuary, and he was beckoning to them, and did remain dumb.

⁷ and they beckoned to the partners, who are in the other boat, having come, to help them; and they came, and filled both the boats, so that they were sinking.

¹⁷ and having beckoned to them with the hand to be silent, he declared to them how the Lord brought him out of the prison, and he said, `Declare to James and to the brethren these things;' and having gone forth, he went on to another place.

¹⁶ And Paul having risen, and having beckoned with the hand, said, `Men, Israelites, and those fearing God, hearken:

⁴⁰ And he having given him leave, Paul having stood upon the stairs, did beckon with the hand to the people, and there having been a great silence, he spake unto them in the Hebrew dialect, saying:

⁴ they have gone out of the city—they have not gone far off—and Joseph hath said to him who is over his house, `Rise, pursue after the men; and thou hast overtaken them, and thou hast said unto them, Why have ye recompensed evil for good? <sup>5</sup> Is not this that with which my lord drinketh? and he observeth diligently with it; ye have done evil in that which ye have done.' <sup>6</sup> And he overtaketh them, and speaketh unto them these words, <sup>7</sup> and they say unto him, `Why doth my lord speak according to these words? far be it from thy servants to do according to this word; ⁸ lo, the money which we found in the mouth of our bags we brought back unto thee from the land of Canaan, and how do we steal from the house of thy lord silver or gold? ⁹ with whomsoever of thy servants it is found, he hath died, and we also are to my lord for servants.' ¹⁰ And he saith, `Now, also, according to your words, so it is; he with whom it is found becometh my servant, and ye are acquitted;' ¹¹ and they hasten and take down each his bag to the earth, and each openeth his bag; ¹² and he searcheth—at the eldest he hath begun, and at the youngest he hath completed—and the cup is found in the bag of Benjamin;

⁵ And the king Ahasuerus saith, yea, he saith to Esther the queen, `Who is he—this one? and where is this one? —he whose heart hath filled him to do so?'

¹⁹ And they began to be sorrowful, and to say to him, one by one, `Is it I?' and another, `Is it I?' ²⁰ And he answering said to them, `One of the twelve who is dipping with me in the dish;

²¹ `But, lo, the hand of him delivering me up is with me on the table,

⁴ Therefore saith one of his disciples—Judas Iscariot, of Simon, who is about to deliver him up— ⁵ `Wherefore was not this ointment sold for three hundred denaries, and given to the poor?' ⁶ and he said this, not because he was caring for the poor, but because he was a thief, and had the bag, and what things were put in he was carrying.

³⁰ having received, therefore, the morsel, that one immediately went forth, and it was night.

²⁷ And it cometh to pass, at noon, that Elijah playeth on them, and saith, `Call with a loud voice, for he is a god, for he is meditating, or pursuing, or on a journey; it may be he is asleep, an doth awake.'

⁶ Appoint Thou over him the wicked, And an adversary standeth at his right hand.

¹⁶ For their feet to evil do run, And they haste to shed blood.

³ This is an evil among all that hath been done under the sun, that one event is to all, and also the heart of the sons of man is full of evil, and madness is in their heart during their life, and after it—unto the dead.

²⁴ A wild ass accustomed to a wilderness, In the desire of her soul she hath swallowed up wind, Her meeting—who doth turn her back? None seeking her do weary themselves, In her month they find her. ²⁵ Withhold thy foot from being unshod, And thy throat from thirst, And thou sayest, `It is incurable, No, for I have loved strangers, and after them I go.'

¹⁵ He hath answered and said to Arioch the king's captain, `Wherefore is the sentence so urgent from before the king?' Then Arioch hath made the thing known to Daniel,

⁴⁵ then doth it go, and take with itself seven other spirits more evil than itself, and having gone in they dwell there, and the last of that man doth become worse than the first; so shall it be also to this evil generation.'

²⁵ and having come in immediately with haste unto the king, she asked, saying, `I will that thou mayest give me presently, upon a plate, the head of John the Baptist.'

³² and there was there a herd of many swine feeding in the mountain, and they were calling on him, that he might suffer them to enter into these, and he suffered them, ³³ and the demons having gone forth from the man, did enter into the swine, and the herd rushed down the steep to the lake, and were choked.

¹³ Let no one say, being tempted—`From God I am tempted,' for God is not tempted of evil, and Himself doth tempt no one, ¹⁴ and each one is tempted, by his own desires being led away and enticed, ¹⁵ afterward the desire having conceived, doth give birth to sin, and the sin having been perfected, doth bring forth death.

³⁴ and ye yourselves know that to my necessities, and to those who were with me, minister did these hands; ³⁵ all things I did shew you, that, thus labouring, it behoveth us to partake with the ailing, to be mindful also of the words of the Lord Jesus, that he himself said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.'

¹⁰ only, of the poor that we should be mindful, which also I was diligent—this very thing—to do.

²⁸ whoso is stealing let him no more steal, but rather let him labour, working the thing that is good with the hands, that he may have to impart to him having need.

¹³ They have been among rebellious ones of light, They have not discerned His ways, Nor abode in His paths. ¹⁴ At the light doth the murderer rise, He doth slay the poor and needy, And in the night he is as a thief. ¹⁵ And the eye of an adulterer Hath observed the twilight, Saying, `No eye doth behold me.' And he putteth the face in secret.

¹⁶ For they sleep not if they do not evil, And their sleep hath been taken violently away, If they cause not some to stumble.

⁷ Their feet to evil do run, And they haste to shed innocent blood, Their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity, Spoiling and destruction are in their highways.

¹⁵ Swift are their feet to shed blood.

³ And He saith to me, `My servant Thou art, O Israel, In whom I beautify Myself.' <sup>4</sup> And I said, `For a vain thing I laboured, For emptiness and vanity my power I consumed, But my judgment is with Jehovah, And my wage with my God. ⁵ And now, said Jehovah, who is forming me from the belly for a servant to Him, To bring back Jacob unto Him, (Though Israel is not gathered, Yet I am honoured in the eyes of Jehovah, And my God hath been my strength.) ⁶ And He saith, `It hath been a light thing That thou art to Me for a servant To raise up the tribes of Jacob, And the preserved of Israel to bring back, And I have given thee for a light of nations, To be My salvation unto the end of the earth.'

¹⁰ And the messenger said to them, `Fear not, for lo, I bring you good news of great joy, that shall be to all the people— <sup>11</sup> because there was born to you to-day a Saviour—who is Christ the Lord—in the city of David, <sup>12</sup> and this is to you the sign: Ye shall find a babe wrapped up, lying in the manger.' <sup>13</sup> And suddenly there came with the messenger a multitude of the heavenly host, praising God, and saying, <sup>14</sup> `Glory in the highest to God, and upon earth peace, among men—good will.'

⁵⁰ but I have a baptism to be baptized with, and how am I pressed till it may be completed!

³⁹ and this he said of the Spirit, which those believing in him were about to receive; for not yet was the Holy Spirit, because Jesus was not yet glorified.

⁴ and Jesus having heard, said, `This ailment is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God may be glorified through it.'

²⁸ Father, glorify Thy name.' There came, therefore, a voice out of the heaven, `I both glorified, and again I will glorify it;'

¹³ and whatever ye may ask in my name, I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son;

¹⁴ He will glorify me, because of mine He will take, and will tell to you.

¹ These things spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to the heaven, and said—`Father, the hour hath come, glorify Thy Son, that Thy Son also may glorify Thee, <sup>2</sup> according as Thou didst give to him authority over all flesh, that—all that Thou hast given to him—he may give to them life age-during; <sup>3</sup> and this is the life age-during, that they may know Thee, the only true God, and him whom Thou didst send—Jesus Christ; <sup>4</sup> I did glorify Thee on the earth, the work I did finish that Thou hast given me, that I may do it . <sup>5</sup> `And now, glorify me, Thou Father, with Thyself, with the glory that I had before the world was, with Thee;
⁶ I did manifest Thy name to the men whom Thou hast given to me out of the world; Thine they were, and to me Thou hast given them, and Thy word they have kept;

¹³ `The God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob, the God of our fathers, did glorify His child Jesus, whom ye delivered up, and denied him in the presence of Pilate, he having given judgment to release him,

⁶ that with one accord—with one mouth—ye may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ;
⁷ wherefore receive ye one another, according as also the Christ did receive us, to the glory of God. ⁸ And I say Jesus Christ to have become a ministrant of circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the promises to the fathers, ⁹ and the nations for kindness to glorify God, according as it hath been written, `Because of this I will confess to Thee among nations, and to Thy name I will sing praise,'

¹⁸ and we all, with unvailed face, the glory of the Lord beholding in a mirror, to the same image are being transformed, from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.

⁴ in whom the god of this age did blind the minds of the unbelieving, that there doth not shine forth to them the enlightening of the good news of the glory of the Christ, who is the image of God; ⁵ for not ourselves do we preach, but Christ Jesus—Lord, and ourselves your servants because of Jesus; ⁶ because it is God who said, Out of darkness light is to shine, who did shine in our hearts, for the enlightening of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

⁵ having foreordained us to the adoption of sons through Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will, ⁶ to the praise of the glory of His grace, in which He did make us accepted in the beloved, ⁷ in whom we have the redemption through his blood, the remission of the trespasses, according to the riches of His grace, ⁸ in which He did abound toward us in all wisdom and prudence,

¹² for our being to the praise of His glory, even those who did first hope in the Christ,

⁷ that He might show, in the ages that are coming, the exceeding riches of His grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus,

¹⁰ that there might be made known now to the principalities and the authorities in the heavenly places, through the assembly, the manifold wisdom of God,

¹⁴ having blotted out the handwriting in the ordinances that is against us, that was contrary to us, and he hath taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross; ¹⁵ having stripped the principalities and the authorities, he made a shew of them openly—having triumphed over them in it.

⁵ so also the Christ did not glorify himself to become chief priest, but He who spake unto him: `My Son thou art, I to-day have begotten thee;' <sup>6</sup> as also in another place He saith, `Thou art a priest—to the age, according to the order of Melchisedek;' ⁷ who in the days of his flesh both prayers and supplications unto Him who was able to save him from death—with strong crying and tears—having offered up, and having been heard in respect to that which he feared,

²¹ who through him do believe in God, who did raise out of the dead, and glory to him did give, so that your faith and hope may be in God.

¹¹ if any one doth speak—`as oracles of God;' if any one doth minister—`as of the ability which God doth supply;' that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom is the glory and the power—to the ages of the ages. Amen.

⁹ and they sing a new song, saying, `Worthy art thou to take the scroll, and to open the seals of it, because thou wast slain, and didst redeem us to God in thy blood, out of every tribe, and tongue, and people, and nation, <sup>10</sup> and didst make us to our God kings and priests, and we shall reign upon the earth.' <sup>11</sup> And I saw, and I heard the voice of many messengers round the throne, and the living creatures, and the elders—and the number of them was myriads of myriads, and thousands of thousands— <sup>12</sup> saying with a great voice, `Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive the power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing!' ¹³ and every creature that is in the heaven, and in the earth, and under the earth, and the things that are upon the sea, and the all things in them, heard I saying, `To Him who is sitting upon the throne, and to the Lamb, is the blessing, and the honour, and the glory, and the might—to the ages of the ages!' <sup>14</sup> and the four living creatures said, `Amen!' and the twenty-four elders fell down and they bow before Him who is living to the ages of the ages.

¹⁰ And Jehovah hath delighted to bruise him, He hath made him sick, If his soul doth make an offering for guilt, He seeth seed—he prolongeth days, And the pleasure of Jehovah in his hand doth prosper. ¹¹ Of the labour of his soul he seeth—he is satisfied, Through his knowledge give righteousness Doth the righteous one, My servant, to many, And their iniquities he doth bear. ¹² Therefore I give a portion to him among the many, And with the mighty he apportioneth spoil, Because that he exposed to death his soul, And with transgressors he was numbered, And he the sin of many hath borne, And for transgressors he intercedeth.

²¹ that they all may be one, as Thou Father art in me, and I in Thee; that they also in us may be one, that the world may believe that Thou didst send me. ²² `And I, the glory that thou hast given to me, have given to them, that they may be one as we are one; <sup>23</sup> I in them, and Thou in me, that they may be perfected into one, and that the world may know that Thou didst send me, and didst love them as Thou didst love me.
<sup>24</sup> `Father, those whom Thou hast given to me, I will that where I am they also may be with me, that they may behold my glory that Thou didst give to me, because Thou didst love me before the foundation of the world.

² in these last days did speak to us in a Son, whom He appointed heir of all things, through whom also He did make the ages; ³ who being the brightness of the glory, and the impress of His subsistence, bearing up also the all things by the saying of his might—through himself having made a cleansing of our sins, sat down at the right hand of the greatness in the highest,

²² who is at the right hand of God, having gone on to heaven—messengers, and authorities, and powers, having been subjected to him.

²¹ He who is overcoming—I will give to him to sit with me in my throne, as I also did overcome and did sit down with my Father in His throne.

²² And a sanctuary I did not see in it, for the Lord God, the Almighty, is its sanctuary, and the Lamb, ²³ and the city hath no need of the sun, nor of the moon, that they may shine in it; for the glory of God did lighten it, and the lamp of it is the Lamb;

¹ And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, bright as crystal, going forth out of the throne of God and of the Lamb:

³ and any curse there shall not be any more, and the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it, and His servants shall serve Him,

¹³ I am the Alpha and the Omega—the Beginning and End—the First and the Last.

³³ Jesus, therefore, said to them, `Yet a little time I am with you, and I go away unto Him who sent me; ³⁴ ye will seek me, and ye shall not find; and where I am, ye are not able to come.'

²¹ therefore said Jesus again to them, `I go away, and ye will seek me, and in your sin ye shall die; whither I go away, ye are not able to come.' <sup>22</sup> The Jews, therefore, said, `Will he kill himself, because he saith, Whither I go away, ye are not able to come?'

³⁵ Jesus, therefore, said to them, `Yet a little time is the light with you; walk while ye have the light, that darkness may not overtake you; and he who is walking in the darkness hath not known where he goeth; ³⁶ while ye have the light, believe in the light, that sons of light ye may become.' These things spake Jesus, and having gone away, he was hid from them,

⁴ and whither I go away ye have known, and the way ye have known.' ⁵ Thomas saith to him, `Sir, we have not known whither thou goest away, and how are we able to know the way?' <sup>6</sup> Jesus saith to him, `I am the way, and the truth, and the life, no one doth come unto the Father, if not through me;

¹⁹ yet a little, and the world doth no more behold me, and ye behold me, because I live, and ye shall live;

¹⁶ a little while, and ye do not behold me, and again a little while, and ye shall see me, because I go away unto the Father.' ¹⁷ Therefore said some of his disciples one to another, `What is this that he saith to us, A little while, and ye do not behold me, and again a little while, and ye shall see me, and, Because I go away unto the Father?' <sup>18</sup> they said then, `What is this he saith—the little while? we have not known what he saith.' ¹⁹ Jesus, therefore, knew that they were wishing to ask him, and he said to them, `Concerning this do ye seek one with another, because I said, A little while, and you do not behold me, and again a little while, and ye shall see me? <sup>20</sup> verily, verily, I say to you, that ye shall weep and lament, and the world will rejoice; and ye shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow joy will become. <sup>21</sup> `The woman, when she may bear, hath sorrow, because her hour did come, and when she may bear the child, no more doth she remember the anguish, because of the joy that a man was born to the world. ²² `And ye, therefore, now, indeed, have sorrow; and again I will see you, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no one doth take from you,

¹⁹ my little children, of whom again I travail in birth, till Christ may be formed in you,

¹ My little children, these things I write to you, that ye may not sin: and if any one may sin, an advocate we have with the Father, Jesus Christ, a righteous one,

⁴ Ye—of God ye are, little children, and ye have overcome them; because greater is He who is in you, than he who is in the world.

²¹ Little children, guard yourselves from the idols! Amen.

¹⁸ `Thou dost not take vengeance, nor watch the sons of thy people; and thou hast had love to thy neighbour as thyself; I am Jehovah.

³⁴ as a native among you is the sojourner to you who is sojourning with you, and thou hast had love to him as to thyself, for sojourners ye have been in the land of Egypt; I am Jehovah your God.

³ For the holy ones who are in the land, And the honourable, all my delight is in them.

⁶³ A companion I am to all who fear Thee, And to those keeping Thy precepts.

¹² `This is my command, that ye love one another, according as I did love you; ¹³ greater love than this hath no one, that any one his life may lay down for his friends;

¹⁷ `These things I command you, that ye love one another;

²¹ that they all may be one, as Thou Father art in me, and I in Thee; that they also in us may be one, that the world may believe that Thou didst send me.

²⁶ and whether one member doth suffer, suffer with it do all the members, or one member is glorified, rejoice with it do all the members;
²⁷ and ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular.

⁴ The love is long-suffering, it is kind, the love doth not envy, the love doth not vaunt itself, is not puffed up, ⁵ doth not act unseemly, doth not seek its own things, is not provoked, doth not impute evil, ⁶ rejoiceth not over the unrighteousness, and rejoiceth with the truth; ⁷ all things it beareth, all it believeth, all it hopeth, all it endureth.

¹³ For ye—to freedom ye were called, brethren, only not the freedom for an occasion to the flesh, but through the love serve ye one another, ¹⁴ for all the law in one word is fulfilled—in this: `Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself;'

²² And the fruit of the Spirit is: Love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, faith,

² of one another the burdens bear ye, and so fill up the law of the Christ,

¹⁰ therefore, then, as we have opportunity, may we work the good to all, and especially unto those of the household of the faith.

¹ If, then, any exhortation is in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of spirit, if any bowels and mercies, ² fulfil ye my joy, that ye may mind the same thing—having the same love—of one soul—minding the one thing, ³ nothing in rivalry or vain-glory, but in humility of mind one another counting more excellent than yourselves— ⁴ each not to your own look ye, but each also to the things of others. ⁵ For, let this mind be in you that is also in Christ Jesus,

⁴ having heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and of the love that is to all the saints,

¹² Put on, therefore, as choice ones of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humble-mindedness, meekness, long-suffering, ¹³ forbearing one another, and forgiving each other, if any one with any one may have a quarrel, as also the Christ did forgive you—so also ye;

¹² and you the Lord cause to increase and to abound in the love to one another, and to all, even as we also to you,

⁹ And concerning the brotherly love, ye have no need of my writing to you, for ye yourselves are God-taught to love one another, ¹⁰ for ye do it also to all the brethren who are in all Macedonia; and we call upon you, brethren, to abound still more,

³ We ought to give thanks to God always for you, brethren, as it is meet, because increase greatly doth your faith, and abound doth the love of each one of you all, to one another;

¹ Let brotherly love remain;

⁸ If, indeed, royal law ye complete, according to the Writing, `Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself,' —ye do well;

²² Your souls having purified in the obedience of the truth through the Spirit to brotherly love unfeigned, out of a pure heart one another love ye earnestly,

⁸ And finally, being all of one mind, having fellow-feeling, loving as brethren, compassionate, courteous, ⁹ not giving back evil for evil, or railing for railing, and on the contrary, blessing, having known that to this ye were called, that a blessing ye may inherit;

⁷ and in the piety the brotherly kindness, and in the brotherly kindness the love;

⁷ Brethren, a new command I write not to you, but an old command, that ye had from the beginning—the old command is the word that ye heard from the beginning; ⁸ again, a new command I write to you, which thing is true in him and in you, because the darkness doth pass away, and the true light doth now shine; ⁹ he who is saying, in the light he is, and his brother is hating, in the darkness he is till now; ¹⁰ he who is loving his brother, in the light he doth remain, and a stumbling-block in him there is not;

¹¹ because this is the message that ye did hear from the beginning, that we may love one another,

¹⁴ we—we have known that we have passed out of the death to the life, because we love the brethren; he who is not loving the brother doth remain in the death. ¹⁵ Every one who is hating his brother—a man-killer he is, and ye have known that no man-killer hath life age-during in him remaining, ¹⁶ in this we have known the love, because he for us his life did lay down, and we ought for the brethren the lives to lay down; ¹⁷ and whoever may have the goods of the world, and may view his brother having need, and may shut up his bowels from him—how doth the love of God remain in him? ¹⁸ My little children, may we not love in word nor in tongue, but in word and in truth!

²³ and this is His command, that we may believe in the name of His Son Jesus Christ, and may love one another, even as He did give command to us,

⁷ Beloved, may we love one another, because the love is of God, and every one who is loving, of God he hath been begotten, and doth know God; ⁸ he who is not loving did not know God, because God is love. ⁹ In this was manifested the love of God in us, because His Son—the only begotten—hath God sent to the world, that we may live through him; ¹⁰ in this is the love, not that we loved God, but that He did love us, and did send His Son a propitiation for our sins. ¹¹ Beloved, if thus did God love us, we also ought one another to love;

²¹ and this is the command we have from Him, that he who is loving God, may also love his brother.

⁵ and now I beseech thee, Kyria, not as writing to thee a new command, but which we had from the beginning, that we may love one another,

⁷ and there is a strife between those feeding Abram's cattle and those feeding Lot's cattle; and the Canaanite and the Perizzite are then dwelling in the land. ⁸ And Abram saith unto Lot, `Let there not, I pray thee, be strife between me and thee, and between my shepherds and thy shepherds, for we are men—brethren.

³² and of the multitude of those who did believe the heart and the soul was one, and not one was saying that anything of the things he had was his own, but all things were to them in common. ³³ And with great power were the apostles giving the testimony to the rising again of the Lord Jesus, great grace also was on them all, ³⁴ for there was not any one among them who did lack, for as many as were possessors of fields, or houses, selling them, were bringing the prices of the thing sold, ³⁵ and were laying them at the feet of the apostles, and distribution was being made to each according as any one had need.

¹² And through the hands of the apostles came many signs and wonders among the people, and they were with one accord all in the porch of Solomon; ¹³ and of the rest no one was daring to join himself to them, but the people were magnifying them, ¹⁴ (and the more were believers added to the Lord, multitudes both of men and women,)

⁵ and whoever may keep his word, truly in him the love of God hath been perfected; in this we know that in him we are.

¹⁰ he who is loving his brother, in the light he doth remain, and a stumbling-block in him there is not;

¹⁰ In this manifest are the children of God, and the children of the devil; every one who is not doing righteousness, is not of God, and he who is not loving his brother,
¹¹ because this is the message that ye did hear from the beginning, that we may love one another, ¹² not as Cain—of the evil one he was, and he did slay his brother, and wherefore did he slay him? because his works were evil, and those of his brother righteous. ¹³ Do not wonder, my brethren, if the world doth hate you;
¹⁴ we—we have known that we have passed out of the death to the life, because we love the brethren; he who is not loving the brother doth remain in the death.

²⁰ if any one may say—`I love God,' and his brother he may hate, a liar he is; for he who is not loving his brother whom he hath seen, God—whom he hath not seen—how is he able to love? ²¹ and this is the command we have from Him, that he who is loving God, may also love his brother.

³³ `Little children, yet a little am I with you; ye will seek me, and, according as I said to the Jews—Whither I go away, ye are not able to come, to you also I do say it now.

² in the house of my Father are many mansions; and if not, I would have told you; I go on to prepare a place for you;

⁴ and whither I go away ye have known, and the way ye have known.' ⁵ Thomas saith to him, `Sir, we have not known whither thou goest away, and how are we able to know the way?'

¹⁷ Therefore said some of his disciples one to another, `What is this that he saith to us, A little while, and ye do not behold me, and again a little while, and ye shall see me, and, Because I go away unto the Father?'

¹⁸ verily, verily, I say to thee, When thou wast younger, thou wast girding thyself and wast walking whither thou didst will, but when thou mayest be old, thou shalt stretch forth thy hands, and another will gird thee, and shall carry thee whither thou dost not will;' ¹⁹ and this he said, signifying by what death he shall glorify God; and having said this, he saith to him, `Be following me.'

²¹ Peter having seen this one, saith to Jesus, `Lord, and what of this one?' <sup>22</sup> Jesus saith to him, `If him I will to remain till I come, what—to thee? be thou following me.' This word, therefore, went forth to the brethren that that disciple doth not die,

¹⁴ having known that soon is the laying aside of my tabernacle, even as also our Lord Jesus Christ did shew to me,

³¹ then saith Jesus to them, `All ye shall be stumbled at me this night; for it hath been written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered abroad; <sup>32</sup> but, after my having risen, I will go before you to Galilee.' <sup>33</sup> And Peter answering said to him, `Even if all shall be stumbled at thee, I will never be stumbled.' ³⁴ Jesus said to him, `Verily I say to thee, that, this night, before cock-crowing, thrice thou wilt deny me.' <sup>35</sup> Peter saith to him, `Even if it may be necessary for me to die with thee, I will not deny thee;' in like manner also said all the disciples.

²⁷ and Jesus saith to them—`All ye shall be stumbled at me this night, because it hath been written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered abroad, <sup>28</sup> but after my having risen I will go before you to Galilee.' <sup>29</sup> And Peter said to him, `And if all shall be stumbled, yet not I;' ³⁰ And Jesus said to him, `Verily I say to thee, that to-day, this night, before a cock shall crow twice, thrice thou shalt deny me.' <sup>31</sup> And he spake the more vehemently, `If it may be necessary for me to die with thee—I will in no wise deny thee;' and in like manner also said they all.

³¹ And the Lord said, `Simon, Simon, lo, the Adversary did ask you for himself to sift as the wheat, <sup>32</sup> and I besought for thee, that thy faith may not fail; and thou, when thou didst turn, strengthen thy brethren.' <sup>33</sup> And he said to him, `Sir, with thee I am ready both to prison and to death to go;' ³⁴ and he said, `I say to thee, Peter, a cock shall not crow to-day, before thrice thou mayest disown knowing me.'

¹⁵ When, therefore, they dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, `Simon, son of Jonas, dost thou love me more than these?' he saith to him, `Yes, Lord; thou hast known that I dearly love thee;' he saith to him, `Feed my lambs.'

²⁴ but I make account of none of these, neither do I count my life precious to myself, so that I finish my course with joy, and the ministration that I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify fully the good news of the grace of God.

¹³ and Paul answered, `What do ye—weeping, and crushing mine heart? for I, not only to be bound, but also to die at Jerusalem, am ready, for the name of the Lord Jesus;'

¹⁸ Before destruction is pride, And before stumbling—a haughty spirit.'

²⁶ Whoso is trusting in his heart is a fool, And whoso is walking in wisdom is delivered.

²³ The pride of man humbleth him, And humility of spirit upholdeth honour.

³⁴ Jesus said to him, `Verily I say to thee, that, this night, before cock-crowing, thrice thou wilt deny me.'

⁶⁹ And Peter without was sitting in the court, and there came near to him a certain maid, saying, `And thou wast with Jesus of Galilee!' <sup>70</sup> And he denied before all, saying, `I have not known what thou sayest.' ⁷¹ And he having gone forth to the porch, another female saw him, and saith to those there, `And this one was with Jesus of Nazareth;' <sup>72</sup> and again did he deny with an oath—`I have not known the man.' ⁷³ And after a little those standing near having come, said to Peter, `Truly thou also art of them, for even thy speech doth make thee manifest.' <sup>74</sup> Then began he to anathematise, and to swear—`I have not known the man;' and immediately did a cock crow, ⁷⁵ and Peter remembered the saying of Jesus, he having said to him—`Before cock-crowing, thrice thou wilt deny me;' and having gone without, he did weep bitterly.

³⁰ And Jesus said to him, `Verily I say to thee, that to-day, this night, before a cock shall crow twice, thrice thou shalt deny me.'

⁶⁶ And Peter being in the hall beneath, there doth come one of the maids of the chief priest, ⁶⁷ and having seen Peter warming himself, having looked on him, she said, `And thou wast with Jesus of Nazareth!' <sup>68</sup> and he denied, saying, `I have not known him, neither do I understand what thou sayest;' and he went forth without to the porch, and a cock crew. ⁶⁹ And the maid having seen him again, began to say to those standing near—`This is of them;' <sup>70</sup> and he was again denying. And after a little again, those standing near said to Peter, `Truly thou art of them, for thou also art a Galilean, and thy speech is alike;' ⁷¹ and he began to anathematize, and to swear—`I have not known this man of whom ye speak;' <sup>72</sup> and a second time a cock crew, and Peter remembered the saying that Jesus said to him—`Before a cock crow twice, thou mayest deny me thrice;' and having thought thereon—he was weeping.

³⁴ and he said, `I say to thee, Peter, a cock shall not crow to-day, before thrice thou mayest disown knowing me.'

⁵⁶ and a certain maid having seen him sitting at the light, and having earnestly looked at him, she said, `And this one was with him!' <sup>57</sup> and he disowned him, saying, `Woman, I have not known him.' ⁵⁸ And after a little, another having seen him, said, `And thou art of them!' and Peter said, `Man, I am not.' ⁵⁹ And one hour, as it were, having intervened, a certain other was confidently affirming, saying, `Of a truth this one also was with him, for he is also a Galilean;' <sup>60</sup> and Peter said, `Man, I have not known what thou sayest;' and presently, while he is speaking, a cock crew. ⁶¹ And the Lord having turned did look on Peter, and Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how he said to him—`Before a cock shall crow, thou mayest disown me thrice;' ⁶² and Peter having gone without, wept bitterly.

¹⁶ and Peter was standing at the door without, therefore went forth the other disciple who was known to the chief priest, and he spake to the female keeping the door, and he brought in Peter. ¹⁷ Then said the maid keeping the door to Peter, `Art thou also of the disciples of this man?' he saith, `I am not;'

²⁵ And Simon Peter was standing and warming himself, they said then to him, `Art thou also of his disciples?' he denied, and said, `I am not.' ²⁶ One of the servants of the chief priest, being kinsman of him whose ear Peter cut off, saith, `Did not I see thee in the garden with him?' ²⁷ again, therefore, Peter denied, and immediately a cock crew.

¹² so that he who is thinking to stand—let him observe, lest he fall.
