⁴⁹ Nathanael answered and saith to him, `Rabbi, thou art the Son of God, thou art the king of Israel.'

² this one came unto him by night, and said to him, `Rabbi, we have known that from God thou hast come—a teacher, for no one these signs is able to do that thou dost, if God may not be with him.'

² and there is in Jerusalem by the sheep-gate a pool that is called in Hebrew Bethesda, having five porches,

²⁵ and having found him on the other side of the sea, they said to him, `Rabbi, when hast thou come hither?'

³ to this one the doorkeeper doth open, and the sheep hear his voice, and his own sheep he doth call by name, and doth lead them forth;

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

¹³ ye call me, The Teacher and The Lord, and ye say well, for I am;

²⁸ And Thomas answered and said to him, `My Lord and my God;'

⁴ and having fallen upon the earth, he heard a voice saying to him, `Saul, Saul, why me dost thou persecute?'

³ he saw in a vision manifestly, as it were the ninth hour of the day, a messenger of God coming in unto him, and saying to him, `Cornelius;'

⁷ `And I have established My covenant between Me and thee, and thy seed after thee, to their generations, for a covenant age-during, to become God to thee, and to thy seed after thee; ⁸ and I have given to thee, and to thy seed after thee, the land of thy sojournings, the whole land of Canaan, for a possession age-during, and I have become their God.'

²⁹ And he saith to Gehazi, `Gird up thy loins, and take my staff in thy hand, and go; when thou dost meet a man, thou dost not salute him; and when a man doth salute thee, thou dost not answer him; and thou hast laid my staff on the face of the youth.'

⁹ And they say one unto another, `We are not doing right this day; a day of tidings it is, and we are keeping silent; and—we have waited till the light of the morning, then hath punishment found us; and now, come and we go in and declare to the house of the king.'

²² I declare Thy name to my brethren, In the midst of the assembly I praise Thee.

⁴ And I go in unto the altar of God, Unto God, the joy of my rejoicing. And I thank Thee with a harp, O God, my God.

¹⁴ That this God is our God—To the age and for ever, He—he doth lead us over death!

¹⁸ Thou hast ascended on high, Thou hast taken captive captivity, Thou hast taken gifts for men, That even the refractory may rest, O Jah God.

²⁶ He proclaimeth me: `Thou art my Father, My God, and the rock of my salvation.'

¹⁰ Be not afraid, for with thee I am, Look not around, for I am thy God, I have strengthened thee, Yea, I have helped thee, yea, I upheld thee, With the right hand of My righteousness.

³³ For this is the covenant that I make, With the house of Israel, after those days, An affirmation of Jehovah, I have given My law in their inward part, And on their heart I do write it, And I have been to them for God, And they are to me for a people.

³⁸ and they have been to Me for a people, and I am to them for God;

²⁸ And ye have dwelt in the land that I have given to your fathers, And ye have been to Me for a people, And I—I am to you for God.

²⁷ And My tabernacle hath been over them, And I have been to them for God, And they have been to Me for a people.

⁷ Sword, awake against My shepherd, And against a hero—My fellow, An affirmation of Jehovah of Hosts. Smite the shepherd, and scattered is the flock, And I have put back My hand on the little ones. ⁸ And it hath come to pass, In all the land, an affirmation of Jehovah, Two parts in it are cut off—they expire, And the third is left in it. ⁹ And I have brought the third into fire, And refined them like a refining of silver, And have tried them like a trying of gold, It doth call in My name, and I answer it, I have said, `My people it is,' And it saith, `Jehovah is my God!'

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

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 .

⁷ and having gone quickly, say ye to his disciples, that he rose from the dead; and lo, he doth go before you to Galilee, there ye shall see him; lo, I have told you.'

⁹ and as they were going to tell to his disciples, then lo, Jesus met them, saying, `Hail!' and they having come near, laid hold of his feet, and did bow to him. <sup>10</sup> Then saith Jesus to them, `Fear ye not, go away, tell to my brethren that they may go away to Galilee, and there they shall see me.'

¹⁹ The Lord, then, indeed, after speaking to them, was received up to the heaven, and sat on the right hand of God;

⁴ carry no bag, no scrip, nor sandals; and salute no one on the way;

⁴⁹ `And, lo, I do send the promise of my Father upon you, but ye—abide ye in the city of Jerusalem till ye be clothed with power from on high.'
⁵⁰ And he led them forth without—unto Bethany, and having lifted up his hands he did bless them, ⁵¹ and it came to pass, in his blessing them, he was parted from them, and was borne up to the heaven;

¹² but as many as did receive him to them he gave authority to become sons of God—to those believing in his name, ¹³ who—not of blood nor of a will of flesh, nor of a will of man but—of God were begotten.

³³ Jesus, therefore, said to them, `Yet a little time I am with you, and I go away unto Him who sent me;

¹ And before the feast of the passover, Jesus knowing that his hour hath come, that he may remove out of this world unto the Father, having loved his own who are in the world—to the end he loved them.

³ Jesus knowing that all things the Father hath given to him—into his hands, and that from God he came forth, and unto God he goeth,

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;

⁶ 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;

²⁸ ye heard that I said to you—I go away, and I come unto you; if ye did love me, ye would have rejoiced that I said—I go on to the Father, because my Father is greater than I.

²⁸ I came forth from the Father, and have come to the world; again I leave the world, and go on unto the Father.'

⁵ `And now, glorify me, Thou Father, with Thyself, with the glory that I had before the world was, with Thee;

¹¹ and no more am I in the world, and these are in the world, and I come unto Thee. Holy Father, keep them in Thy name, whom Thou hast given to me, that they may be one as we;

²⁵ `Righteous Father, also the world did not know Thee, and I knew Thee, and these have known that Thou didst send me,

²⁷ then he saith to Thomas, `Bring thy finger hither, and see my hands, and bring thy hand, and put it to my side, and become not unbelieving, but believing.'

¹⁴ for as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are the sons of God; ¹⁵ for ye did not receive a spirit of bondage again for fear, but ye did receive a spirit of adoption in which we cry, `Abba—Father.' ¹⁶ The Spirit himself doth testify with our spirit, that we are children of God;
¹⁷ and if children, also heirs, heirs, indeed, of God, and heirs together of Christ—if, indeed, we suffer together, that we may also be glorified together.

²⁹ because whom He did foreknow, He also did fore-appoint, conformed to the image of His Son, that he might be first-born among many brethren;

¹⁸ and I will be to you for a Father, and ye—ye shall be to Me for sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.'

²⁶ for ye are all sons of God through the faith in Christ Jesus,

⁶ and because ye are sons, God did send forth the spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying, `Abba, Father!' ⁷ so that thou art no more a servant, but a son, and if a son, also an heir of God through Christ.

¹⁷ that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of the glory, may give to you a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the recognition of him, ¹⁸ the eyes of your understanding being enlightened, for your knowing what is the hope of His calling, and what the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, ¹⁹ and what the exceeding greatness of His power to us who are believing, according to the working of the power of His might, ²⁰ which He wrought in the Christ, having raised him out of the dead, and did set him at His right hand in the heavenly places, ²¹ far above all principality, and authority, and might, and lordship, and every name named, not only in this age, but also in the coming one; ²² and all things He did put under his feet, and did give him—head over all things to the assembly, ²³ which is his body, the fulness of Him who is filling the all in all,

⁸ wherefore, he saith, `Having gone up on high he led captive captivity, and gave gifts to men,' — ⁹ and that, he went up, what is it except that he also went down first to the lower parts of the earth? ¹⁰ he who went down is the same also who went up far above all the heavens, that He may fill all things—

¹¹ for both he who is sanctifying and those sanctified are all of one, for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren, ¹² saying, `I will declare Thy name to my brethren, in the midst of an assembly I will sing praise to Thee;' and again, `I will be trusting on Him;' ¹³ and again, `Behold I and the children that God did give to me.'

¹⁰ because this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel, after those days, saith the Lord, giving My laws into their mind, and upon their hearts I will write them, and I will be to them for a God, and they shall be to Me for a people;

¹⁶ but now they long for a better, that is, an heavenly, wherefore God is not ashamed of them, to be called their God, for He did prepare for them a city.

³ Blessed is the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who, according to the abundance of His kindness did beget us again to a living hope, through the rising again of Jesus Christ out of the dead,

² beloved, now, children of God are we, and it was not yet manifested what we shall be, and we have known that if he may be manifested, like him we shall be, because we shall see him as he is;

³ and I heard a great voice out of the heaven, saying, `Lo, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will tabernacle with them, and they shall be His peoples, and God Himself shall be with them—their God,

⁷ he who is overcoming shall inherit all things, and I will be to him—a God, and he shall be to me—the son,

¹⁰ Then saith Jesus to them, `Fear ye not, go away, tell to my brethren that they may go away to Galilee, and there they shall see me.'

¹⁰ she having gone, told those who had been with him, mourning and weeping; ¹¹ and they, having heard that he is alive, and was seen by her, did not believe. ¹² And after these things, to two of them, as they are going into a field, walking, he was manifested in another form, ¹³ and they having gone, told to the rest; not even them did they believe.

¹⁰ And it was the Magdalene Mary, and Joanna, and Mary of James, and the other women with them, who told unto the apostles these things,

¹ And on the first of the sabbaths, Mary the Magdalene doth come early (there being yet darkness) to the tomb, and she seeth the stone having been taken away out of the tomb,

¹⁰ And I have entered the house of Shemaiah son of Delaiah, son of Mehetabeel—and he is restrained—and he saith, `Let us meet at the house of God, at the inside of the temple, and we shut the doors of the temple, for they are coming in to slay thee—yea, by night they are coming in to slay thee.' <sup>11</sup> And I say, `A man such as I—doth he flee? and who as I, that doth go in unto the temple, and live? —I do not go in.'

⁸ I hear what God Jehovah speaketh, For He speaketh peace unto His people, And unto His saints, and they turn not back to folly. ⁹ Only, near to those fearing Him is His salvation, That honour may dwell in our land. ¹⁰ Kindness and truth have met, Righteousness and peace have kissed,

¹⁸ His ways I have seen, and I heal him, yea, I lead him, And recompense comforts to him and to his mourning ones. ¹⁹ Producing the fruit of the lips, `Peace, peace,' to the far off, and to the near, And I have healed him, said Jehovah.

¹³ and if indeed the house be worthy, let your peace come upon it; and if it be not worthy, let your peace turn back to you.

²⁰ for where there are two or three gathered together—to my name, there am I in the midst of them.'

¹⁴ Afterwards, as they are reclining (at meat), he was manifested to the eleven, and did reproach their unbelief and stiffness of heart, because they believed not those having seen him being raised;

³⁶ and as they are speaking these things, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and saith to them, `Peace—to you;' <sup>37</sup> and being amazed, and becoming affrighted, they were thinking themselves to see a spirit. <sup>38</sup> And he said to them, `Why are ye troubled? and wherefore do reasonings come up in your hearts? ³⁹ see my hands and my feet, that I am he; handle me and see, because a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me having.' ⁴⁰ And having said this, he shewed to them the hands and the feet, ⁴¹ and while they are not believing from the joy, and wondering, he said to them, `Have ye anything here to eat?' <sup>42</sup> and they gave to him part of a broiled fish, and of an honeycomb, <sup>43</sup> and having taken, he did eat before them, <sup>44</sup> and he said to them, `These are the words that I spake unto you, being yet with you, that it behoveth to be fulfilled all the things that are written in the Law of Moses, and the Prophets, and the Psalms, about me.' ⁴⁵ Then opened he up their understanding to understand the Writings, ⁴⁶ and he said to them—`Thus it hath been written, and thus it was behoving the Christ to suffer, and to rise out of the dead the third day, <sup>47</sup> and reformation and remission of sins to be proclaimed in his name to all the nations, beginning from Jerusalem: <sup>48</sup> and ye—ye are witnesses of these things. <sup>49</sup> `And, lo, I do send the promise of my Father upon you, but ye—abide ye in the city of Jerusalem till ye be clothed with power from on high.'

¹³ no one, however, was speaking freely about him, through fear of the Jews.

¹⁹ yet a little, and the world doth no more behold me, and ye behold me, because I live, and ye shall live; ²⁰ in that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you; ²¹ he who is having my commands, and is keeping them, that one it is who is loving me, and he who is loving me shall be loved by my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.' ²² Judas saith to him, (not the Iscariot), `Sir, what hath come to pass, that to us thou are about to manifest thyself, and not to the world?' <sup>23</sup> Jesus answered and said to him, `If any one may love me, my word he will keep, and my Father will love him, and unto him we will come, and abode with him we will make;

²⁷ `Peace I leave to you; my peace I give to you, not according as the world doth give do I give to you; let not your heart be troubled, nor let it be afraid;

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,

³³ these things I have spoken to you, that in me ye may have peace, in the world ye shall have tribulation, but take courage—I have overcome the world.'

²¹ Jesus, therefore, said to them again, `Peace to you; according as the Father hath sent me, I also send you;'

³³ and the God of the peace be with you all. Amen.

⁵ and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve,

¹⁴ for he is our peace, who did make both one, and the middle wall of the enclosure did break down,

²³ Peace to the brethren, and love, with faith, from God the Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ!

² Grace to you, and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.

¹⁶ and may the Lord of the peace Himself give to you the peace always in every way; the Lord is with you all!

² to whom also a tenth of all did Abraham divide, (first, indeed, being interpreted, `King of righteousness,' and then also, King of Salem, which is, King of Peace,)

⁴ John to the seven assemblies that are in Asia: Grace to you, and peace, from Him who is, and who was, and who is coming, and from the Seven Spirits that are before His throne,

⁸ He hath swallowed up death in victory, And wiped hath the Lord Jehovah, The tear from off all faces, And the reproach of His people He turneth aside from off all the earth, For Jehovah hath spoken.
⁹ And one hath said in that day, `Lo, this is our God, We waited for Him, and He saveth us, This is Jehovah, we have waited for Him, We joy and rejoice in His salvation.'

⁸ And having gone forth quickly from the tomb, with fear and great joy, they ran to tell to his disciples;

³⁹ see my hands and my feet, that I am he; handle me and see, because a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me having.' ⁴⁰ And having said this, he shewed to them the hands and the feet, ⁴¹ and while they are not believing from the joy, and wondering, he said to them, `Have ye anything here to eat?'

²⁰ 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.

³⁴ but one of the soldiers with a spear did pierce his side, and immediately there came forth blood and water;

¹ That which was from the beginning, that which we have heard, that which we have seen with our eyes, that which we did behold, and our hands did handle, concerning the Word of the Life—

¹ `Who is this coming from Edom? With dyed garments from Bozrah? This that is honourable in his clothing, Travelling in the abundance of his power?' —`I, speaking in righteousness, mighty to save.' ² `Wherefore is thy clothing red? And thy garments as treading in a wine fat?' <sup>3</sup> —`A wine-press I have trodden by myself, And of the peoples there is no one with me, And I tread them in mine anger, And I trample them in my fury, Sprinkled is their strength on my garments, And all my clothing I have polluted.

¹⁶ `Lo, I do send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves, be ye therefore wise as the serpents, and simple as the doves.

⁴⁰ `He who is receiving you doth receive me, and he who is receiving me doth receive Him who sent me,

¹⁸ And having come near, Jesus spake to them, saying, `Given to me was all authority in heaven and on earth; ¹⁹ having gone, then, disciple all the nations, (baptizing them—to the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, ²⁰ teaching them to observe all, whatever I did command you,) and lo, I am with you all the days—till the full end of the age.'

¹⁵ and he said to them, `Having gone to all the world, proclaim the good news to all the creation; <sup>16</sup> he who hath believed, and hath been baptized, shall be saved; and he who hath not believed, shall be condemned. <sup>17</sup> `And signs shall accompany those believing these things; in my name demons they shall cast out; with new tongues they shall speak; ¹⁸ serpents they shall take up; and if any deadly thing they may drink, it shall not hurt them; on the ailing they shall lay hands, and they shall be well.'

¹⁷ For God did not send His Son to the world that he may judge the world, but that the world may be saved through him;

²⁰ verily, verily, I say to you, he who is receiving whomsoever I may send, doth receive me; and he who is receiving me, doth receive Him who sent me.'

¹⁸ as Thou didst send me to the world, I also did send them to the world; ¹⁹ and for them do I sanctify myself, that they also themselves may be sanctified in truth.

¹⁹ It being, therefore, evening, on that day, the first of the sabbaths, and the doors having been shut where the disciples were assembled, through fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst, and saith to them, `Peace to you;'

⁸ but ye shall receive power at the coming of the Holy Spirit upon you, and ye shall be witnesses to me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and Samaria, and unto the end of the earth.'

² and the things that thou didst hear from me through many witnesses, these things be committing to stedfast men, who shall be sufficient also others to teach;

¹ Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of a heavenly calling, consider the apostle and chief priest of our profession, Christ Jesus,

⁷ And Jehovah God formeth the man—dust from the ground, and breatheth into his nostrils breath of life, and the man becometh a living creature.

⁴ The Spirit of God hath made me, And the breath of the Mighty doth quicken me.

⁶ By the word of Jehovah The heavens have been made, And by the breath of His mouth all their host.

⁹ And He saith unto me: `Prophesy unto the Spirit, prophesy, son of man, and thou hast said unto the Spirit: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: From the four winds come in, O Spirit, and breathe on these slain, and they do live.'

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.

¹⁶ and I will ask the Father, and another Comforter He will give to you, that he may remain with you—to the age;

²⁶ `And when the Comforter may come, whom I will send to you from the Father—the Spirit of truth, who from the Father doth come forth, he will testify of me;

⁷ `But I tell you the truth; it is better for you that I go away, for if I may not go away, the Comforter will not come unto you, and if I go on, I will send Him unto you;

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

³⁸ and Peter said unto them, `Reform, and be baptized each of you on the name of Jesus Christ, to remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit,

⁸ Then Peter, having been filled with the Holy Spirit, said unto them: `Rulers of the people, and elders of Israel,

¹⁵ who having come down did pray concerning them, that they may receive the Holy Spirit, —

⁴⁷ Then answered Peter, `The water is any one able to forbid, that these may not be baptized, who the Holy Spirit did receive—even as also we?'

² he said unto them, `The Holy Spirit did ye receive—having believed?' and they said unto him, `But we did not even hear whether there is any Holy Spirit;'

² this only do I wish to learn from you—by works of law the Spirit did ye receive, or by the hearing of faith?

¹⁹ and I will give to thee the keys of the reign of the heavens, and whatever thou mayest bind upon the earth shall be having been bound in the heavens, and whatever thou mayest loose upon the earth shall be having been loosed in the heavens.'

¹⁸ `Verily I say to you, Whatever things ye may bind upon the earth shall be having been bound in the heavens, and whatever things ye may loose on the earth shall be having been loosed in the heavens.

⁵ and Jesus having seen their faith, saith to the paralytic, `Child, thy sins have been forgiven thee.' <sup>6</sup> And there were certain of the scribes there sitting, and reasoning in their hearts, <sup>7</sup> `Why doth this one thus speak evil words? who is able to forgive sins except one—God?' ⁸ And immediately Jesus, having known in his spirit that they thus reason in themselves, said to them, `Why these things reason ye in your hearts? <sup>9</sup> which is easier, to say to the paralytic, The sins have been forgiven to thee? or to say, Rise, and take up thy couch, and walk? <sup>10</sup> `And, that ye may know that the Son of Man hath authority on the earth to forgive sins—(he saith to the paralytic) —

⁴³ to this one do all the prophets testify, that through his name every one that is believing in him doth receive remission of sins.'

³⁸ `Let it therefore be known to you, men, brethren, that through this one to you is the forgiveness of sins declared, ³⁹ and from all things from which ye were not able in the law of Moses to be declared righteous, in this one every one who is believing is declared righteous;

⁴ in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ—ye being gathered together, also my spirit—with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ,

⁶ sufficient to such a one is this punishment, that is by the more part, ⁷ so that, on the contrary, it is rather for you to forgive and to comfort, lest by over abundant sorrow such a one may be swallowed up; ⁸ wherefore, I call upon you to confirm love to him, ⁹ for, for this also did I write, that I might know the proof of you, whether in regard to all things ye are obedient. ¹⁰ And to whom ye forgive anything—I also; for I also, if I have forgiven anything, to whom I have forgiven it, because of you—in the person of Christ—I forgive it,

²⁰ being built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being chief corner-stone,

²⁰ of whom are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I did deliver to the Adversary, that they might be instructed not to speak evil.

³ Philip, and Bartholomew; Thomas, and Matthew the tax-gatherer; James of Alpheus, and Lebbeus who was surnamed Thaddeus;

⁶⁶ From this time many of his disciples went away backward, and were no more walking with him, ⁶⁷ Jesus, therefore, said to the twelve, `Do ye also wish to go away?'

¹⁶ therefore said Thomas, who is called Didymus, to the fellow-disciples, `We may go—we also, that we may die with him,'

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

² There were together Simon Peter, and Thomas who is called Didymus, and Nathanael from Cana of Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and two others of his disciples.

²⁵ not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as a custom of certain is, but exhorting, and so much the more as ye see the day coming nigh.

¹⁶ Though I had called and He answereth me, I do not believe that He giveth ear to my voice.

¹¹ And they forget His doings, And His wonders that He shewed them. ¹² Before their fathers He hath done wonders, In the land of Egypt—the field of Zoan. ¹³ He cleft a sea, and causeth them to pass over, Yea, He causeth waters to stand as a heap. ¹⁴ And leadeth them with a cloud by day, And all the night with a light of fire. ¹⁵ He cleaveth rocks in a wilderness, And giveth drink—as the great deep. ¹⁶ And bringeth out streams from a rock, And causeth waters to come down as rivers. ¹⁷ And they add still to sin against Him, To provoke the Most High in the dry place. ¹⁸ And they try God in their heart, To ask food for their lust. ¹⁹ And they speak against God—they said: `Is God able to array a table in a wilderness?' <sup>20</sup> Lo, He hath smitten a rock, And waters flow, yea, streams overflow. `Also—bread is He able to give? Doth He prepare flesh for His people?' ²¹ Therefore hath Jehovah heard, And He sheweth Himself wroth, And fire hath been kindled against Jacob, And anger also hath gone up against Israel, ²² For they have not believed in God, Nor have they trusted in His salvation.

³² With all this they have sinned again, And have not believed in His wonders.

⁸ Harden not your heart as in Meribah, As in the day of Massah in the wilderness, ⁹ Where your fathers have tried Me, Have proved Me, yea, have seen My work. ¹⁰ Forty years I am weary of the generation, And I say, `A people erring in heart—they! And they have not known My ways:'

²¹ They have forgotten God their saviour, The doer of great things in Egypt, ²² Of wonderful things in the land of Ham, Of fearful things by the sea of Suph. ²³ And He saith to destroy them, Unless Moses, His chosen one, Had stood in the breach before Him, To turn back His wrath from destroying. ²⁴ And they kick against the desirable land, They have not given credence to His word.

¹ And the Pharisees and Sadducees having come, tempting, did question him, to shew to them a sign from the heaven, ² and he answering said to them, `Evening having come, ye say, Fair weather, for the heaven is red, <sup>3</sup> and at morning, Foul weather to-day, for the heaven is red—gloomy; hypocrites, the face of the heavens indeed ye do know to discern, but the signs of the times ye are not able! <sup>4</sup> `A generation evil and adulterous doth seek a sign, and a sign shall not be given to it, except the sign of Jonah the prophet;' and having left them he went away.

⁴² `Others he saved; himself he is not able to save! If he be King of Israel, let him come down now from the cross, and we will believe him;

¹¹ and they, having heard that he is alive, and was seen by her, did not believe.

²⁵ And he said unto them, `O inconsiderate and slow in heart, to believe on all that the prophets spake!

³⁴ saying—`The Lord was raised indeed, and was seen by Simon;' <sup>35</sup> and they were telling the things in the way, and how he was made known to them in the breaking of the bread,
<sup>36</sup> and as they are speaking these things, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and saith to them, `Peace—to you;' ³⁷ and being amazed, and becoming affrighted, they were thinking themselves to see a spirit. ³⁸ And he said to them, `Why are ye troubled? and wherefore do reasonings come up in your hearts?

⁴¹ this one doth first find his own brother Simon, and saith to him, `We have found the Messiah,' (which is, being interpreted, The Anointed,)

³⁰ They said therefore to him, `What sign, then, dost thou, that we may see and may believe thee? what dost thou work?

¹⁴ and these things having said, she turned backward, and seeth Jesus standing, and she had not known that it is Jesus. ¹⁵ Jesus saith to her, `Woman, why dost thou weep? whom dost thou seek;' she, supposing that he is the gardener, saith to him, `Sir, if thou didst carry him away, tell me where thou didst lay him, and I will take him away;' ¹⁶ Jesus saith to her, `Mary!' having turned, she saith to him, `Rabbouni;' that is to say, `Teacher.' <sup>17</sup> Jesus saith to her, `Be not touching me, for I have not yet ascended unto my Father; and be going on to my brethren, and say to them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father, and to my God, and to your God.' ¹⁸ Mary the Magdalene cometh, telling to the disciples that she hath seen the Lord, and that these things he said to her.
¹⁹ It being, therefore, evening, on that day, the first of the sabbaths, and the doors having been shut where the disciples were assembled, through fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst, and saith to them, `Peace to you;' ²⁰ and this having said, he shewed them his hands and side; the disciples, therefore, rejoiced, having seen the Lord.

³⁰ and the God of our fathers did raise up Jesus, whom ye slew, having hanged upon a tree; ³¹ this one God, a Prince and a Saviour, hath exalted with His right hand, to give reformation to Israel, and forgiveness of sins; ³² and we are His witnesses of these sayings, and the Holy Spirit also, whom God gave to those obeying him.'

⁴⁰ `This one God did raise up the third day, and gave him to become manifest, ⁴¹ not to all the people, but to witnesses, to those having been chosen before by God—to us who did eat with him, and did drink with him, after his rising out of the dead;

⁵ and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve, ⁶ afterwards he appeared to above five hundred brethren at once, of whom the greater part remain till now, and certain also did fall asleep; ⁷ afterwards he appeared to James, then to all the apostles. ⁸ And last of all—as to the untimely birth—he appeared also to me,

¹² See, brethren, lest there shall be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief in the falling away from the living God,

¹⁸ and to whom did He swear that they shall not enter into His rest, except to those who did not believe? —

³⁸ and `the righteous by faith shall live,' and `if he may draw back, My soul hath no pleasure in him,' ³⁹ and we are not of those drawing back to destruction, but of those believing to a preserving of soul.

¹² O Jehovah, Thou appointest peace to us, For, all our works also Thou hast wrought for us.

⁵ Or—he doth take hold on My strength, He doth make peace with Me, Peace he doth make with Me.

¹⁰ For the mountains depart, and the hills remove, And My kindness from thee departeth not, And the covenant of My peace removeth not, Said hath thy loving one—Jehovah.

¹ And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, and James, and John his brother, and doth bring them up to a high mount by themselves,

²⁸ And it came to pass, after these words, as it were eight days, that having taken Peter, and John, and James, he went up to the mountain to pray,

³⁸ And He—the Merciful One, Pardoneth iniquity, and destroyeth not, And hath often turned back His anger, And waketh not up all His fury.

¹³ As a father hath mercy on sons, Jehovah hath mercy on those fearing Him. ¹⁴ For He hath known our frame, Remembering that we are dust.

¹⁷ And Jesus answering said, `O generation, unstedfast and perverse, till when shall I be with you? till when shall I bear you? bring him to me hither;'

¹⁹ And he answering him, said, `O generation unbelieving, till when shall I be with you? till when shall I suffer you? bring him unto me;'

⁴¹ And Jesus answering said, `O generation, unstedfast and perverse, till when shall I be with you, and suffer you? bring near hither thy son;'

⁴⁰ And having said this, he shewed to them the hands and the feet,

²⁰ and this having said, he shewed them his hands and side; the disciples, therefore, rejoiced, having seen the Lord.

²⁰ And law came in, that the offence might abound, and where the sin did abound, the grace did overabound,

¹⁴ and exceedingly abound did the grace of our Lord, with faith and love that is in Christ Jesus: ¹⁵ stedfast is the word, and of all acceptation worthy, that Christ Jesus came to the world to save sinners—first of whom I am; ¹⁶ but because of this I found kindness, that in me first Jesus Christ might shew forth all long-suffering, for a pattern of those about to believe on him to life age-during:

¹ That which was from the beginning, that which we have heard, that which we have seen with our eyes, that which we did behold, and our hands did handle, concerning the Word of the Life— ² and the Life was manifested, and we have seen, and do testify, and declare to you the Life, the age-during, which was with the Father, and was manifested to us—

⁶ Thy throne, O God, is age-during, and for ever, A sceptre of uprightness Is the sceptre of Thy kingdom.

¹¹ And the king doth desire thy beauty, Because he is thy lord—bow thyself to him,

²⁴ I say, `My God, take me not up in the midst of my days,' Through all generations are Thine years. ²⁵ Beforetime the earth Thou didst found, And the work of Thy hands are the heavens. ²⁶ They—They perish, and Thou remainest, And all of them as a garment become old, As clothing Thou changest them, And they are changed. ²⁷ And Thou art the same, and Thine years are not finished. ²⁸ The sons of Thy servants do continue, And their seed before Thee is established!

²⁴ This is the day Jehovah hath made, We rejoice and are glad in it. ²⁵ I beseech Thee, O Jehovah, save, I pray Thee, I beseech Thee, O Jehovah, prosper, I pray Thee. ²⁶ Blessed is he who is coming In the name of Jehovah, We blessed you from the house of Jehovah, ²⁷ God is Jehovah, and He giveth to us light, Direct ye the festal-sacrifice with cords, Unto the horns of the altar. ²⁸ My God Thou art, and I confess Thee, My God, I exalt Thee.

¹⁴ Therefore the Lord Himself giveth to you a sign, Lo, the Virgin is conceiving, And is bringing forth a son, And hath called his name Immanuel,

⁶ For a Child hath been born to us, A Son hath been given to us, And the princely power is on his shoulder, And He doth call his name Wonderful, Counsellor, Mighty God, Father of Eternity, Prince of Peace.

⁹ And one hath said in that day, `Lo, this is our God, We waited for Him, and He saveth us, This is Jehovah, we have waited for Him, We joy and rejoice in His salvation.'

⁹ On a high mountain get thee up, O Zion, Proclaiming tidings, Lift up with power thy voice, O Jerusalem, proclaiming tidings, Lift up, fear not, say to cities of Judah, `Lo, your God.' ¹⁰ Lo, the Lord Jehovah with strength cometh, And His arm is ruling for Him, Lo, His hire is with Him, and His wage before Him. ¹¹ As a shepherd His flock He feedeth, With His arm He gathereth lambs, And in His bosom He carrieth them : Suckling ones He leadeth.

⁵ Lo, days are coming—an affirmation of Jehovah, And I have raised to David a righteous shoot, And a king hath reigned and acted wisely, And done judgment and righteousness in the earth. ⁶ In his days is Judah saved, and Israel dwelleth confidently, And this his name that Jehovah proclaimeth him, `Our Righteousness.'

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.

³³ and those in the boat having come, did bow to him, saying, `Truly—God's Son art thou.'

⁵² and they, having bowed before him, did turn back to Jerusalem with great joy,

¹ In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God;

²³ that all may honour the Son according as they honour the Father; he who is not honouring the Son, doth not honour the Father who sent him.

³⁵ Jesus heard that they cast him forth without, and having found him, he said to him, `Dost thou believe in the Son of God?' <sup>36</sup> he answered and said, `Who is he, sir, that I may believe in him?' ³⁷ And Jesus said to him, `Thou hast both seen him, and he who is speaking with thee is he;' <sup>38</sup> and he said, `I believe, sir,' and bowed before him.

¹⁶ Jesus saith to her, `Mary!' having turned, she saith to him, `Rabbouni;' that is to say, `Teacher.'

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

⁵⁹ and they were stoning Stephen, calling and saying, `Lord Jesus, receive my spirit;' <sup>60</sup> and having bowed the knees, he cried with a loud voice, `Lord, mayest thou not lay to them this sin;' and this having said, he fell asleep.

¹⁶ and, confessedly, great is the secret of piety—God was manifested in flesh, declared righteous in spirit, seen by messengers, preached among nations, believed on in the world, taken up in glory!

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.

⁴⁵ and happy is she who did believe, for there shall be a completion to the things spoken to her from the Lord.'

⁴⁸ Jesus then said unto him, `If signs and wonders ye may not see, ye will not believe.'

⁸ then, therefore, entered also the other disciple who came first unto the tomb, and he saw, and did believe;

⁷ for through faith we walk, not through sight—

¹ And faith is of things hoped for a confidence, of matters not seen a conviction,

²⁷ by faith he left Egypt behind, not having been afraid of the wrath of the king, for, as seeing the Invisible One—he endured;

³⁹ and these all, having been testified to through the faith, did not receive the promise,

⁸ whom, not having seen, ye love, in whom, now not seeing and believing, ye are glad with joy unspeakable and glorified,

³ it seemed good also to me, having followed from the first after all things exactly, to write to thee in order, most noble Theophilus, ⁴ that thou mayest know the certainty of the things wherein thou wast instructed.

¹¹ This beginning of the signs did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested his glory, and his disciples believed in him;

²⁵ And there are also many other things—as many as Jesus did—which, if they may be written one by one, not even the world itself I think to have place for the books written. Amen.

⁴ for, as many things as were written before, for our instruction were written before, that through the endurance, and the exhortation of the Writings, we might have the hope.

¹¹ And all these things as types did happen to those persons, and they were written for our admonition, to whom the end of the ages did come,

¹⁵ and because from a babe the Holy Writings thou hast known, which are able to make thee wise—to salvation, through faith that is in Christ Jesus; ¹⁶ every Writing is God-breathed, and profitable for teaching, for conviction, for setting aright, for instruction that is in righteousness, ¹⁷ that the man of God may be fitted—for every good work having been completed.

¹ This, now, beloved, a second letter to you I write, in both which I stir up your pure mind in reminding you, ² to be mindful of the sayings said before by the holy prophets, and of the command of us the apostles of the Lord and Saviour,

³ that which we have seen and heard declare we to you, that ye also may have fellowship with us, and our fellowship is with the Father, and with His Son Jesus Christ; ⁴ and these things we write to you, that your joy may be full.

¹³ These things I did write to you who are believing in the name of the Son of God, that ye may know that life ye have age-during, and that ye may believe in the name of the Son of God.

⁷ I declare concerning a statute: Jehovah said unto me, `My Son Thou art, I to-day have brought thee forth.

¹² Kiss the Chosen One, lest He be angry, And ye lose the way, When His anger burneth but a little, O the happiness of all trusting in Him!

³ And the Tempter having come to him said, `If Son thou art of God—speak that these stones may become loaves.'

¹⁶ and Simon Peter answering said, `Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.'

⁵⁴ And the centurion, and those with him watching Jesus, having seen the earthquake, and the things that were done, were exceedingly afraid, saying, `Truly this was God's Son.'

¹⁶ he who hath believed, and hath been baptized, shall be saved; and he who hath not believed, shall be condemned.

⁴ that thou mayest know the certainty of the things wherein thou wast instructed.

⁴⁷ and reformation and remission of sins to be proclaimed in his name to all the nations, beginning from Jerusalem:

¹⁵ that every one who is believing in him may not perish, but may have life age-during, ¹⁶ for God did so love the world, that His Son—the only begotten—He gave, that every one who is believing in him may not perish, but may have life age-during.

¹⁸ he who is believing in him is not judged, but he who is not believing hath been judged already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

³⁶ he who is believing in the Son, hath life age-during; and he who is not believing the Son, shall not see life, but the wrath of God doth remain upon him.'

²⁴ `Verily, verily, I say to you—He who is hearing my word, and is believing Him who sent me, hath life age-during, and to judgment he doth not come, but hath passed out of the death to the life.

³⁹ `Ye search the Writings, because ye think in them to have life age-during, and these are they that are testifying concerning me; ⁴⁰ and ye do not will to come unto me, that ye may have life;

⁴⁰ and this is the will of Him who sent me, that every one who is beholding the Son, and is believing in him, may have life age-during, and I will raise him up in the last day.'

⁶⁹ and we have believed, and we have known, that thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.' ⁷⁰ Jesus answered them, `Did not I choose you—the twelve? and of you—one is a devil.

¹⁰ `The thief doth not come, except that he may steal, and kill, and destroy; I came that they may have life, and may have it abundantly.

³⁵ and he who hath seen hath testified, and his testimony is true, and that one hath known that true things he speaketh, that ye also may believe.

¹⁶ and on the faith of his name, this one whom ye see and have known, his name made strong, even the faith that is through him did give to him this perfect soundness before you all.

³⁶ And as they were going on the way, they came upon a certain water, and the eunuch said, `Lo, water; what doth hinder me to be baptized?'

²⁰ and immediately in the synagogues he was preaching the Christ, that he is the Son of God.

³ concerning His Son, (who is come of the seed of David according to the flesh, ⁴ who is marked out Son of God in power, according to the Spirit of sanctification, by the rising again from the dead,) Jesus Christ our Lord;

⁹ receiving the end of your faith—salvation of souls;

²³ every one who is denying the Son, neither hath he the Father, he who is confessing the Son hath the Father also. ²⁴ Ye, then, that which ye heard from the beginning, in you let it remain; if in you may remain that which from the beginning ye did hear, ye also in the Son and in the Father shall remain, ²⁵ and this is the promise that He did promise us—the life the age-during.

¹⁵ whoever may confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God in him doth remain, and he in God;

¹ Every one who is believing that Jesus is the Christ, of God he hath been begotten, and every one who is loving Him who did beget, doth love also him who is begotten of Him:

¹⁰ He who is believing in the Son of God, hath the testimony in himself; he who is not believing God, a liar hath made Him, because he hath not believed in the testimony that God hath testified concerning His Son; ¹¹ and this is the testimony, that life age-during did God give to us, and this—the life—is in His Son; ¹² he who is having the Son, hath the life; he who is not having the Son of God—the life he hath not. ¹³ These things I did write to you who are believing in the name of the Son of God, that ye may know that life ye have age-during, and that ye may believe in the name of the Son of God.

²⁰ and we have known that the Son of God is come, and hath given us a mind, that we may know Him who is true, and we are in Him who is true, in His Son Jesus Christ; this one is the true God and the life age-during!

⁹ every one who is transgressing, and is not remaining in the teaching of the Christ, hath not God; he who is remaining in the teaching of the Christ, this one hath both the Father and the Son;

¹⁸ `And to the messenger of the assembly of Thyatira write: These things saith the Son of God, who is having his eyes as a flame of fire, and his feet like to fine brass;
