John 6 Cross References - YLT

¹ After these things Jesus went away beyond the sea of Galilee (of Tiberias), ² and there was following him a great multitude, because they were seeing his signs that he was doing on the ailing; ³ and Jesus went up to the mount, and he was there sitting with his disciples, ⁴ and the passover was nigh, the feast of the Jews. ⁵ Jesus then having lifted up his eyes and having seen that a great multitude doth come to him, saith unto Philip, `Whence shall we buy loaves, that these may eat?' — <sup>6</sup> and this he said, trying him, for he himself had known what he was about to do. <sup>7</sup> Philip answered him, `Two hundred denaries' worth of loaves are not sufficient to them, that each of them may receive some little;' ⁸ one of his disciples—Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter—saith to him, ⁹ `There is one little lad here who hath five barley loaves, and two fishes, but these—what are they to so many?' <sup>10</sup> And Jesus said, `Make the men to sit down;' and there was much grass in the place, the men then sat down, in number, as it were, five thousand, ¹¹ and Jesus took the loaves, and having given thanks he distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to those reclining, in like manner, also of the little fishes as much as they wished. ¹² And when they were filled, he saith to his disciples, `Gather together the broken pieces that are over, that nothing may be lost;' <sup>13</sup> they gathered together, therefore, and filled twelve hand-baskets with broken pieces, from the five barley loaves that were over to those having eaten. <sup>14</sup> The men, then, having seen the sign that Jesus did, said—`This is truly the Prophet, who is coming to the world;'
¹⁵ Jesus, therefore, having known that they are about to come, and to take him by force that they may make him king, retired again to the mountain himself alone. ¹⁶ And when evening came, his disciples went down to the sea, ¹⁷ and having entered into the boat, they were going over the sea to Capernaum, and darkness had already come, and Jesus had not come unto them, ¹⁸ the sea also—a great wind blowing—was being raised, ¹⁹ having pushed onwards, therefore, about twenty-five or thirty furlongs, they behold Jesus walking on the sea, and coming nigh to the boat, and they were afraid; ²⁰ and he saith to them, `I am he, be not afraid;' <sup>21</sup> they were willing then to receive him into the boat, and immediately the boat came unto the land to which they were going.
<sup>22</sup> On the morrow, the multitude that was standing on the other side of the sea, having seen that there was no other little boat there except one—that into which his disciples entered—and that Jesus went not in with his disciples into the little boat, but his disciples went away alone, <sup>23</sup> (and other little boats came from Tiberias, nigh the place where they did eat the bread, the Lord having given thanks), <sup>24</sup> when therefore the multitude saw that Jesus is not there, nor his disciples, they also themselves did enter into the boats, and came to Capernaum seeking Jesus; <sup>25</sup> and having found him on the other side of the sea, they said to him, `Rabbi, when hast thou come hither?' ²⁶ Jesus answered them and said, `Verily, verily, I say to you, Ye seek me, not because ye saw signs, but because ye did eat of the loaves, and were satisfied; <sup>27</sup> work not for the food that is perishing, but for the food that is remaining to life age-during, which the Son of Man will give to you, for him did the Father seal—even God.'
<sup>28</sup> They said therefore unto him, `What may we do that we may work the works of God?' ²⁹ Jesus answered and said to them, `This is the work of God, that ye may believe in him whom He did send.' <sup>30</sup> They said therefore to him, `What sign, then, dost thou, that we may see and may believe thee? what dost thou work? ³¹ our fathers the manna did eat in the wilderness, according as it is having been written, Bread out of the heaven He gave them to eat.' ³² Jesus, therefore, said to them, `Verily, verily, I say to you, Moses did not give you the bread out of the heaven; but my Father doth give you the true bread out of the heaven; <sup>33</sup> for the bread of God is that which is coming down out of the heaven, and giving life to the world.' <sup>34</sup> They said, therefore, unto him, `Sir, always give us this bread.' ³⁵ And Jesus said to them, `I am the bread of the life; he who is coming unto me may not hunger, and he who is believing in me may not thirst—at any time; <sup>36</sup> but I said to you, that ye also have seen me, and ye believe not; <sup>37</sup> all that the Father doth give to me will come unto me; and him who is coming unto me, I may in no wise cast without, <sup>38</sup> because I have come down out of the heaven, not that I may do my will, but the will of Him who sent me. <sup>39</sup> `And this is the will of the Father who sent me, that all that He hath given to me I may not lose of it, but may raise it up in the last day; 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.' ⁴¹ The Jews, therefore, were murmuring at him, because he said, `I am the bread that came down out of the heaven;' <sup>42</sup> and they said, `Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we have known? how then saith this one—Out of the heaven I have come down?' ⁴³ Jesus answered, therefore, and said to them, `Murmur not one with another; <sup>44</sup> no one is able to come unto me, if the Father who sent me may not draw him, and I will raise him up in the last day; <sup>45</sup> it is having been written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God; every one therefore who heard from the Father, and learned, cometh to me; <sup>46</sup> not that any one hath seen the Father, except he who is from God, he hath seen the Father. <sup>47</sup> `Verily, verily, I say to you, He who is believing in me, hath life age-during; ⁴⁸ I am the bread of the life; ⁴⁹ your fathers did eat the manna in the wilderness, and they died; ⁵⁰ this is the bread that out of the heaven is coming down, that any one may eat of it, and not die. ⁵¹ `I am the living bread that came down out of the heaven; if any one may eat of this bread he shall live—to the age; and the bread also that I will give is my flesh, that I will give for the life of the world.' <sup>52</sup> The Jews, therefore, were striving with one another, saying, `How is this one able to give us his flesh to eat?' ⁵³ Jesus, therefore, said to them, `Verily, verily, I say to you, If ye may not eat the flesh of the Son of Man, and may not drink his blood, ye have no life in yourselves; <sup>54</sup> he who is eating my flesh, and is drinking my blood, hath life age-during, and I will raise him up in the last day; <sup>55</sup> for my flesh truly is food, and my blood truly is drink; <sup>56</sup> he who is eating my flesh, and is drinking my blood, doth remain in me, and I in him. <sup>57</sup> `According as the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, he also who is eating me, even that one shall live because of me; ⁵⁸ this is the bread that came down out of the heaven; not as your fathers did eat the manna, and died; he who is eating this bread shall live—to the age.' ⁵⁹ These things he said in a synagogue, teaching in Capernaum;
⁶⁰ many, therefore, of his disciples having heard, said, `This word is hard; who is able to hear it?' <sup>61</sup> And Jesus having known in himself that his disciples are murmuring about this, said to them, `Doth this stumble you? ⁶² if then ye may behold the Son of Man going up where he was before? ⁶³ the spirit it is that is giving life; the flesh doth not profit anything; the sayings that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life; 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; <sup>69</sup> and we have believed, and we have known, that thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.' <sup>70</sup> Jesus answered them, `Did not I choose you—the twelve? and of you—one is a devil. ⁷¹ And he spake of Judas, Simon's son, Iscariot, for he was about to deliver him up, being one of the twelve.

¹⁹ and my God shall supply all your need, according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus;

¹⁰ The sceptre turneth not aside from Judah, And a lawgiver from between his feet, Till his Seed come; And his is the obedience of peoples.

¹⁵ `A prophet out of thy midst, out of thy brethren, like to me, doth Jehovah thy God raise up to thee—unto him ye hearken; ¹⁶ according to all that thou didst ask from Jehovah thy God, in Horeb, in the day of the assembly, saying, Let me not add to hear the voice of Jehovah my God, and this great fire let me not see any more, and I die not; ¹⁷ and Jehovah saith unto me, They have done well that they have spoken; ¹⁸ a prophet I raise up to them, out of the midst of their brethren, like to thee; and I have given my words in his mouth, and he hath spoken unto them all that which I command him;

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

¹¹ And the multitudes said, `This is Jesus the prophet, who is from Nazareth of Galilee.'

¹⁶ and fear took hold of all, and they were glorifying God, saying—`A great prophet hath risen among us,' and—`God did look upon His people.'

¹⁹ And he said to them, `What things?' And they said to him, `The things about Jesus of Nazareth, who became a man—a prophet—powerful in deed and word, before God and all the people,

²¹ And they questioned him, `What then? Elijah art thou?' and he saith, `I am not.' —`The prophet art thou?' and he answered, `No.'

¹⁹ The woman saith to him, `Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet;

²⁵ The woman saith to him, `I have known that Messiah doth come, who is called Christ, when that one may come, he will tell us all things;'

⁴² and said to the woman—`No more because of thy speaking do we believe; for we ourselves have heard and known that this is truly the Saviour of the world—the Christ.'

⁴⁰ Many, therefore out of the multitude, having heard the word, said, `This is truly the Prophet;'

²² `For Moses, indeed, unto the fathers said—A prophet to you shall the Lord your God raise up out of your brethren, like to me; him shall ye hear in all things, as many as he may speak unto you; ²³ and it shall be, every soul that may not hear that prophet shall be utterly destroyed out of the people; ²⁴ and also all the prophets from Samuel and those following in order, as many as spake, did also foretell of these days.

³⁷ this is the Moses who did say to the sons of Israel: A prophet to you shall the Lord your God raise up out of your brethren, like to me, him shall ye hear.

²² And immediately Jesus constrained his disciples to go into the boat, and to go before him to the other side, till he might let away the multitudes; ²³ and having let away the multitudes, he went up to the mountain by himself to pray, and evening having come, he was there alone, ²⁴ and the boat was now in the midst of the sea, distressed by the waves, for the wind was contrary. ²⁵ And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went away to them, walking upon the sea, ²⁶ and the disciples having seen him walking upon the sea, were troubled saying—`It is an apparition,' and from the fear they cried out; <sup>27</sup> and immediately Jesus spake to them, saying, `Be of good courage, I am he, be not afraid.' ²⁸ And Peter answering him said, `Sir, if it is thou, bid me come to thee upon the waters;' <sup>29</sup> and he said, `Come;' and having gone down from the boat, Peter walked upon the waters to come unto Jesus, ³⁰ but seeing the wind vehement, he was afraid, and having begun to sink, he cried out, saying, `Sir, save me.' <sup>31</sup> And immediately Jesus, having stretched forth the hand, laid hold of him, and saith to him, `Little faith! for what didst thou waver?' ³² and they having gone to the boat the wind lulled, ³³ and those in the boat having come, did bow to him, saying, `Truly—God's Son art thou.'

⁴⁵ And immediately he constrained his disciples to go into the boat, and to go before to the other side, unto Bethsaida, till he may let the multitude away, ⁴⁶ and having taken leave of them, he went away to the mountain to pray. ⁴⁷ And evening having come, the boat was in the midst of the sea, and he alone upon the land; ⁴⁸ and he saw them harassed in the rowing, for the wind was against them, and about the fourth watch of the night he doth come to them walking on the sea, and wished to pass by them. ⁴⁹ And they having seen him walking on the sea, thought it to be an apparition, and cried out, ⁵⁰ for they all saw him, and were troubled, and immediately he spake with them, and saith to them, `Take courage, I am he, be not afraid.' ⁵¹ And he went up unto them to the boat, and the wind lulled, and greatly out of measure were they amazed in themselves, and were wondering, ⁵² for they understood not concerning the loaves, for their heart hath been hard.

⁹ And those going before and those following were crying out, saying, `Hosanna! blessed is he who is coming in the name of the Lord;

³⁸ saying, `blessed is he who is coming, a king in the name of the Lord; peace in heaven, and glory in the highest.'

²⁴ and Jesus himself was not trusting himself to them, because of his knowing all men, ²⁵ and because he had no need that any should testify concerning man, for he himself was knowing what was in man.

⁴¹ glory from man I do not receive,

³ and Jesus went up to the mount, and he was there sitting with his disciples,

¹⁵ Jesus, therefore, having known that they are about to come, and to take him by force that they may make him king, retired again to the mountain himself alone. ¹⁶ And when evening came, his disciples went down to the sea, ¹⁷ and having entered into the boat, they were going over the sea to Capernaum, and darkness had already come, and Jesus had not come unto them, ¹⁸ the sea also—a great wind blowing—was being raised, ¹⁹ having pushed onwards, therefore, about twenty-five or thirty furlongs, they behold Jesus walking on the sea, and coming nigh to the boat, and they were afraid; ²⁰ and he saith to them, `I am he, be not afraid;' ²¹ they were willing then to receive him into the boat, and immediately the boat came unto the land to which they were going.

³ his brethren, therefore, said unto him, `Remove hence, and go away to Judea, that thy disciples also may behold thy works that thou dost; ⁴ for no one in secret doth anything, and himself seeketh to be in public; if thou dost these things—manifest thyself to the world;'

¹² On the morrow, a great multitude that came to the feast, having heard that Jesus doth come to Jerusalem, ¹³ took the branches of the palms, and went forth to meet him, and were crying, `Hosanna, blessed is he who is coming in the name of the Lord—the king of Israel;' <sup>14</sup> and Jesus having found a young ass did sit upon it, according as it is written, <sup>15</sup> `Fear not, daughter of Sion, lo, thy king doth come, sitting on an ass' colt.'

³⁶ Jesus answered, `My kingdom is not of this world; if my kingdom were of this world, my officers had struggled that I might not be delivered up to Jews; but now my kingdom is not from hence.'

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.

⁴⁵ And immediately he constrained his disciples to go into the boat, and to go before to the other side, unto Bethsaida, till he may let the multitude away,

¹² after this he went down to Capernaum, he, and his mother, and his brethren, and his disciples; and there they remained not many days.

⁴⁶ Jesus came, therefore, again to Cana of Galilee, where he made the water wine, and there was a certain courtier, whose son was ailing in Capernaum,

²⁴ when therefore the multitude saw that Jesus is not there, nor his disciples, they also themselves did enter into the boats, and came to Capernaum seeking Jesus; ²⁵ and having found him on the other side of the sea, they said to him, `Rabbi, when hast thou come hither?'

²⁵ And He saith, and appointeth a tempest, And it lifteth up its billows,

⁷ Causing vapours to ascend from the end of the earth, Lightnings for the rain He hath made, Bringing forth wind from His treasures.

²⁴ and the boat was now in the midst of the sea, distressed by the waves, for the wind was contrary.

⁸ Stretching out the heavens by Himself, And treading on the heights of the sea,

¹⁰ Jehovah on the deluge hath sat, And Jehovah sitteth king—to the age,

⁴ Than the voices of many mighty waters, Breakers of a sea, mighty on high is Jehovah,

²⁶ Into great waters have they brought thee, Those rowing thee, The east wind hath broken thee in the heart of the seas.

¹³ And the men row to turn back unto the dry land, and are not able, for the sea is more and more tempestuous against them.

²⁵ And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went away to them, walking upon the sea, ²⁶ and the disciples having seen him walking upon the sea, were troubled saying—`It is an apparition,' and from the fear they cried out;

⁴⁷ And evening having come, the boat was in the midst of the sea, and he alone upon the land; ⁴⁸ and he saw them harassed in the rowing, for the wind was against them, and about the fourth watch of the night he doth come to them walking on the sea, and wished to pass by them. ⁴⁹ And they having seen him walking on the sea, thought it to be an apparition, and cried out,

¹³ And, lo, two of them were going on during that day to a village, distant sixty furlongs from Jerusalem, the name of which is Emmaus,

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.'

¹⁸ And Bethany was nigh to Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs off,

¹⁸ `I will not leave you bereaved, I come unto you;

²⁰ and trodden was the wine-press outside of the city, and blood did come forth out of the wine-press—unto the bridles of the horses, a thousand, six hundred furlongs.

¹⁶ and the city lieth square, and the length of it is as great as the breadth; and he did measure the city with the reed—furlongs twelve thousand; the length, and the breadth, and the height, of it are equal;

³ And draw out spear and lance, To meet my pursuers. Say to my soul, `Thy salvation I am .'

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.

¹⁴ Fear not, O worm Jacob, ye men of Israel, I helped thee, an affirmation of Jehovah, Even thy redeemer, the Holy One of Israel.

¹ And now, thus said Jehovah, Thy Creator, O Jacob, and thy Fashioner, O Israel, Be not afraid, for I have redeemed thee, I have called on thy name—thou art Mine. ² When thou passest into waters, I am with thee, And into floods, they do not overflow thee, When thou goest into fire, thou art not burnt, And a flame doth not burn against thee.

⁸ Fear not, nor be afraid, Have I not from that time caused thee to hear, and declared? And ye are My witnesses, Is there a God besides Me? yea, there is none, A Rock I have not known.

²⁷ and immediately Jesus spake to them, saying, `Be of good courage, I am he, be not afraid.' <sup>28</sup> And Peter answering him said, `Sir, if it is thou, bid me come to thee upon the waters;' ²⁹ and he said, `Come;' and having gone down from the boat, Peter walked upon the waters to come unto Jesus, <sup>30</sup> but seeing the wind vehement, he was afraid, and having begun to sink, he cried out, saying, `Sir, save me.' ³¹ And immediately Jesus, having stretched forth the hand, laid hold of him, and saith to him, `Little faith! for what didst thou waver?'

⁵⁰ for they all saw him, and were troubled, and immediately he spake with them, and saith to them, `Take courage, I am he, be not afraid.'

⁶ And he saith to them, `Be not amazed, ye seek Jesus the Nazarene, the crucified: he did rise—he is not here; lo, the place where they laid him!

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.

⁷ Lift up, O gates, your heads, And be lifted up, O doors age-during, And come in doth the king of glory! ⁸ Who is this—`the king of glory?' Jehovah—strong and mighty, Jehovah, the mighty in battle. <sup>9</sup> Lift up, O gates, your heads, And be lifted up, O doors age-during, And come in doth the king of glory! <sup>10</sup> Who is He—this `king of glory?' Jehovah of hosts—He is the king of glory! Selah.

⁴ But a little I passed on from them, Till I found him whom my soul hath loved! I seized him, and let him not go, Till I brought him in unto the house of my mother—And the chamber of her that conceived me.

⁵¹ And he went up unto them to the boat, and the wind lulled, and greatly out of measure were they amazed in themselves, and were wondering,

²⁰ lo, I have stood at the door, and I knock; if any one may hear my voice, and may open the door, I will come in unto him, and will sup with him, and he with me.

²² And immediately Jesus constrained his disciples to go into the boat, and to go before him to the other side, till he might let away the multitudes;

² and there was following him a great multitude, because they were seeing his signs that he was doing on the ailing;

¹ After these things Jesus went away beyond the sea of Galilee (of Tiberias),

¹¹ and Jesus took the loaves, and having given thanks he distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to those reclining, in like manner, also of the little fishes as much as they wished. ¹² And when they were filled, he saith to his disciples, `Gather together the broken pieces that are over, that nothing may be lost;'

³⁴ And having passed over, they came to the land of Gennesaret,

³⁷ and having found him, they say to him, —`All do seek thee;'

⁵³ And having passed over, they came upon the land of Gennesaret, and drew to the shore,

⁴⁰ And it came to pass, in the turning back of Jesus, the multitude received him, for they were all looking for him,

¹⁷ and having entered into the boat, they were going over the sea to Capernaum, and darkness had already come, and Jesus had not come unto them,

⁵⁹ These things he said in a synagogue, teaching in Capernaum;

¹¹ the Jews, therefore, were seeking him, in the feast, and said, `Where is that one?'

⁴ Jesus, therefore, knowing all things that are coming upon him, having gone forth, said to them, `Whom do ye seek?' <sup>5</sup> they answered him, `Jesus the Nazarene;' Jesus saith to them, `I am he;' —and Judas who delivered him up was standing with them; —

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;'

⁷ and the salutations in the market-places, and to be called by men, Rabbi, Rabbi.

³⁸ And Jesus having turned, and having beheld them following, saith to them, `What seek ye?' and they said to them, `Rabbi, (which is, being interpreted, Teacher,) where remainest thou?' ³⁹ He saith to them, `Come and see;' they came, and saw where he doth remain, and with him they remained that day and the hour was about the tenth.

³⁷ And their heart hath not been right with Him, And they have not been stedfast in His covenant.

¹² And they believe in His words, they sing His praise,
¹³ They have hasted—forgotten His works, They have not waited for His counsel. ¹⁴ And they lust greatly in a wilderness, And try God in a desert.

³¹ And they come in unto thee as the coming in of a people, And they sit before thee—My people, And have heard thy words, and they do them not, For doting loves with their mouth they are making, After their dishonest gain their heart is going.

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;'

⁵ Jesus answered, `Verily, verily, I say to thee, If any one may not be born of water, and the Spirit, he is not able to enter into the reign of God;

²⁴ when therefore the multitude saw that Jesus is not there, nor his disciples, they also themselves did enter into the boats, and came to Capernaum seeking Jesus;

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

⁴⁷ `Verily, verily, I say to you, He who is believing in me, hath life age-during;

⁵³ Jesus, therefore, said to them, `Verily, verily, I say to you, If ye may not eat the flesh of the Son of Man, and may not drink his blood, ye have no life in yourselves;

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,

¹⁸ And Simon, having beheld that through the laying on of the hands of the apostles, the Holy Spirit is given, brought before them money, ¹⁹ saying, `Give also to me this authority, that on whomsoever I may lay the hands, he may receive the Holy Spirit.' <sup>20</sup> And Peter said unto him, `Thy silver with thee—may it be to destruction! because the gift of God thou didst think to possess through money; ²¹ thou hast neither part nor lot in this thing, for thy heart is not right before God;

¹⁸ for such our Lord Jesus Christ do not serve, but their own belly; and through the good word and fair speech they deceive the hearts of the harmless,

²¹ for the whole seek their own things, not the things of the Christ Jesus,

¹⁹ whose end is destruction, whose god is the belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who the things on earth are minding.

⁵ wranglings of men wholly corrupted in mind, and destitute of the truth, supposing the piety to be gain; depart from such;

³ ye ask, and ye receive not, because evilly ye ask, that in your pleasures ye may spend it . ⁴ Adulterers and adulteresses! have ye not known that friendship of the world is enmity with God? whoever, then, may counsel to be a friend of the world, an enemy of God he is set.

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

⁷ Then said I, `Lo, I have come,' In the roll of the book it is written of me,

² To cause thine ear to attend to wisdom, Thou inclinest thy heart to understanding, ³ For, if for intelligence thou callest, For understanding givest forth thy voice, ⁴ If thou dost seek her as silver, And as hid treasures searchest for her, ⁵ Then understandest thou fear of Jehovah, And knowledge of God thou findest. ⁶ For Jehovah giveth wisdom, From His mouth knowledge and understanding.

¹¹ In the multiplying of good have its consumers been multiplied, and what benefit is to its possessor except the sight of his eyes? ¹² Sweet is the sleep of the labourer whether he eat little or much; and the sufficiency of the wealthy is not suffering him to sleep. ¹³ There is a painful evil I have seen under the sun: wealth kept for its possessor, for his evil. ¹⁴ And that wealth hath been lost in an evil business, and he hath begotten a son and there is nothing in his hand! ¹⁵ As he came out from the belly of his mother, naked he turneth back to go as he came, and he taketh not away anything of his labour, that doth go in his hand. ¹⁶ And this also is a painful evil, just as he came, so he goeth, and what advantage is to him who laboureth for wind?

⁷ All the labour of man is for his mouth, and yet the soul is not filled.

¹ And a rod hath come out from the stock of Jesse, And a branch from his roots is fruitful. ² Rested on him hath the Spirit of Jehovah, The spirit of wisdom and understanding, The spirit of counsel and might, The spirit of knowledge and fear of Jehovah. ³ To refresh him in the fear of Jehovah, And by the sight of his eyes he judgeth not, Nor by the hearing of his ears decideth.

¹ Lo, My servant, I take hold on him, My chosen one—My soul hath accepted, I have put My Spirit upon him, Judgment to nations he bringeth forth.

² Why do ye weigh money for that which is not bread? And your labour for that which is not for satiety? Hearken diligently unto me, and eat good, And your soul doth delight itself in fatness.

¹ The Spirit of the Lord Jehovah is on me, Because Jehovah did anoint me To proclaim tidings to the humble, He sent me to bind the broken of heart, To proclaim to captives liberty, And to bound ones an opening of bands. ² To proclaim the year of the good pleasure of Jehovah, And the day of vengeance of our God, To comfort all mourners. ³ To appoint to mourners in Zion, To give to them beauty instead of ashes, The oil of joy instead of mourning, A covering of praise for a spirit of weakness, And He is calling to them, `Trees of righteousness, The planting of Jehovah—to be beautified.'

¹⁶ Thy words have been found, and I eat them, And Thy word is to me for a joy, And for the rejoicing of my heart, For Thy name is called on me, O Jehovah, God of Hosts.

¹³ Lo, is it not from Jehovah of Hosts And peoples are fatigued for fire, And nations for vanity are weary?

¹⁷ and lo, a voice out of the heavens, saying, `This is My Son—the Beloved, in whom I did delight.'

¹⁹ `Treasure not up to yourselves treasures on the earth, where moth and rust disfigure, and where thieves break through and steal,

³¹ therefore ye may not be anxious, saying, What may we eat? or, What may we drink? or, What may we put round? ³² for all these do the nations seek for, for your heavenly Father doth know that ye have need of all these; ³³ but seek ye first the reign of God and His righteousness, and all these shall be added to you.

²⁰ and Jesus saith to him, `The foxes have holes, and the birds of the heaven places of rest, but the Son of Man hath not where he may lay the head.'

⁵ While he is yet speaking, lo, a bright cloud overshadowed them, and lo, a voice out of the cloud, saying, `This is My Son, —the Beloved, in whom I did delight; hear him.'

¹¹ and a voice came out of the heavens, `Thou art My Son—the Beloved, in whom I did delight.'

⁷ And there came a cloud overshadowing them, and there came a voice out of the cloud, saying, `This is My Son—the Beloved, hear ye him;'

²² and the Holy Spirit came down in a bodily appearance, as if a dove, upon him, and a voice came out of heaven, saying, `Thou art My Son—the Beloved, in thee I did delight.'

¹⁸ `The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, Because He did anoint me; To proclaim good news to the poor, Sent me to heal the broken of heart, To proclaim to captives deliverance, And to blind receiving of sight, To send away the bruised with deliverance, <sup>19</sup> To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord.' <sup>20</sup> And having folded the roll, having given it back to the officer, he sat down, and the eyes of all in the synagogue were gazing on him. <sup>21</sup> And he began to say unto them—`To-day hath this writing been fulfilled in your ears;'

³⁵ and a voice came out of the cloud saying, `This is My Son—the Beloved; hear ye him;'

⁴⁰ and Martha was distracted about much serving, and having stood by him, she said, `Sir, dost thou not care that my sister left me alone to serve? say then to her, that she may partake along with me.' <sup>41</sup> And Jesus answering said to her, `Martha, Martha, thou art anxious and disquieted about many things, ⁴² but of one thing there is need, and Mary the good part did choose, that shall not be taken away from her.'

³³ and I did not know him, but he who sent me to baptize with water, He said to me, On whomsoever thou mayest see the Spirit coming down, and remaining on him, this is he who is baptizing with the Holy Spirit; ³⁴ and I have seen, and have testified, that this is the Son of God.'

³³ he who is receiving his testimony did seal that God is true;

¹³ Jesus answered and said to her, `Every one who is drinking of this water shall thirst again; ¹⁴ but whoever may drink of the water that I will give him, may not thirst—to the age; and the water that I will give him shall become in him a well of water, springing up to life age-during.'

³⁶ `But I have the testimony greater than John's, for the works that the Father gave me, that I might finish them, the works themselves that I do, they testify concerning me, that the Father hath sent me. <sup>37</sup> `And the Father who sent me Himself hath testified concerning me; ye have neither heard His voice at any time, nor His appearance have ye seen;

²⁸ They said therefore unto him, `What may we do that we may work the works of God?' <sup>29</sup> Jesus answered and said to them, `This is the work of God, that ye may believe in him whom He did send.'

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.'

⁵¹ `I am the living bread that came down out of the heaven; if any one may eat of this bread he shall live—to the age; and the bread also that I will give is my flesh, that I will give for the life of the world.'

⁵⁴ he who is eating my flesh, and is drinking my blood, hath life age-during, and I will raise him up in the last day;

⁵⁸ this is the bread that came down out of the heaven; not as your fathers did eat the manna, and died; he who is eating this bread shall live—to the age.'

⁶⁸ Simon Peter, therefore, answered him, `Sir, unto whom shall we go? thou hast sayings of life age-during;

¹⁸ I am one who is testifying of myself, and the Father who sent me doth testify of me.'

²⁸ and life age-during I give to them, and they shall not perish—to the age, and no one shall pluck them out of my hand;

³⁷ if I do not the works of my Father, do not believe me; ³⁸ and if I do, even if me ye may not believe, the works believe, that ye may know and may believe that in me is the Father, and I in Him.'

²⁵ Jesus said to her, `I am the rising again, and the life; he who is believing in me, even if he may die, shall live; ²⁶ and every one who is living and believing in me shall not die—to the age;

⁴² and I knew that Thou always dost hear me, but, because of the multitude that is standing by, I said it, that they may believe that Thou didst send me.'

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;

²⁴ if I did not do among them the works that no other hath done, they were not having sin, and now they have both seen and hated both me and my Father;

² 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;

²² `Men, Israelites! hear these words, Jesus the Nazarene, a man approved of God among you by mighty works, and wonders, and signs, that God did through him in the midst of you, according as also ye yourselves have known;

³⁸ Jesus who is from Nazareth—how God did anoint him with the Holy Spirit and power; who went through, doing good, and healing all those oppressed by the devil, because God was with him;

¹¹ and a sign he did receive of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith in the uncircumcision, for his being father of all those believing through uncircumcision, for the righteousness also being reckoned to them,

²³ for the wages of the sin is death, and the gift of God is life age-during in Christ Jesus our Lord.

¹³ the meats are for the belly, and the belly for the meats. And God both this and these shall make useless; and the body is not for whoredom, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body;

²⁹ And this I say, brethren, the time henceforth is having been shortened—that both those having wives may be as not having; ³⁰ and those weeping, as not weeping; and those rejoicing, as not rejoicing; and those buying, as not possessing; ³¹ and those using this world, as not using it up; for passing away is the fashion of this world.

² if to others I am not an apostle—yet doubtless to you I am; for the seal of my apostleship are ye in the Lord.

²⁴ have ye not known that those running in a race—all indeed run, but one doth receive the prize? so run ye, that ye may obtain; ²⁵ and every one who is striving, is in all things temperate; these, indeed, then, that a corruptible crown they may receive, but we an incorruptible; ²⁶ I, therefore, thus run, not as uncertainly, thus I fight, as not beating air; ²⁷ but I chastise my body, and bring it into servitude, lest by any means, having preached to others—I myself may become disapproved.

¹⁸ we not looking to the things seen, but to the things not seen; for the things seen are temporary, but the things not seen are age-during.

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

¹³ for God it is who is working in you both to will and to work for His good pleasure.

²⁹ for which also I labour, striving according to his working that is working in me in power.

²² which are all for destruction with the using, after the commands and teachings of men,

² the things above mind ye, not the things upon the earth,

³ unceasingly remembering of you the work of the faith, and the labour of the love, and the endurance of the hope, of our Lord Jesus Christ, in the presence of our God and Father,

¹⁹ sure, nevertheless, hath the foundation of God stood, having this seal, `The Lord hath known those who are His,' and `Let him depart from unrighteousness—every one who is naming the name of Christ.'

¹¹ May we be diligent, then, to enter into that rest, that no one in the same example of the unbelief may fall,

¹⁶ lest any one be a fornicator, or a profane person, as Esau, who in exchange for one morsel of food did sell his birthright,

¹¹ for the sun did rise with the burning heat, and did wither the grass, and the flower of it fell, and the grace of its appearance did perish, so also the rich in his way shall fade away!

²⁴ because all flesh is as grass, and all glory of man as flower of grass; wither did the grass, and the flower of it fell away,

¹⁷ for having received from God the Father honour and glory, such a voice being borne to him by the excellent glory: `This is My Son—the beloved, in whom I was well pleased;'

¹¹ All these, then, being dissolved, what kind of persons doth it behove you to be in holy behaviours and pious acts? ¹² waiting for and hasting to the presence of the day of God, by which the heavens, being on fire, shall be dissolved, and the elements with burning heat shall melt; ¹³ and for new heavens and a new earth according to His promise we do wait, in which righteousness doth dwell; ¹⁴ wherefore, beloved, these things waiting for, be diligent, spotless and unblameable, by Him to be found in peace,

²⁷ Draw near thou, and hear all that which Jehovah our God saith, and thou, thou dost speak unto us all that which Jehovah our God speaketh unto thee, and we have hearkened, and done it.

³ and Jehovah thy God doth declare to us the way in which we walk, and the thing that we do.' ⁴ And Jeremiah the prophet saith unto them, `I have heard: lo, I am praying unto Jehovah your God according to your words, and it hath come to pass, the whole word that Jehovah answereth you, I declare to you—I do not withhold from you a word.' <sup>5</sup> And they have said to Jeremiah, `Jehovah is against us for a witness true and faithful, if—according to all the word with which Jehovah thy God doth send thee unto us—we do not so. ⁶ Whether good or evil, to the voice of Jehovah our God, to whom we are sending thee, we do hearken; because it is good for us when we hearken to the voice of Jehovah our God.'

²⁰ for ye have shewed yourselves perverse in your souls, for ye sent me unto Jehovah your God, saying, Pray for us unto Jehovah our God, and according to all that Jehovah our God saith, so declare to us, and we have done it;

⁷ Is Jehovah pleased with thousands of rams? With myriads of streams of oil? Do I give my first-born for my transgression? The fruit of my body for the sin of my soul? ⁸ He hath declared to thee, O man, what is good; Yea, what is Jehovah requiring of thee, Except—to do judgment, and love kindness, And lowly to walk with thy God?

¹⁶ And lo, one having come near, said to him, `Good teacher, what good thing shall I do, that I may have life age-during?'

²⁵ And lo, a certain lawyer stood up, trying him, and saying, `Teacher, what having done, life age-during shall I inherit?'

³⁷ And having heard, they were pricked to the heart; they say also to Peter, and to the rest of the apostles, `What shall we do, men, brethren?'

⁶ trembling also, and astonished, he said, `Lord, what dost thou wish me to do?' and the Lord said unto him, `Arise, and enter into the city, and it shall be told thee what it behoveth thee to do.'

³⁰ and having brought them forth, said, `Sirs, what must I do—that I may be saved?'

¹⁸ a prophet I raise up to them, out of the midst of their brethren, like to thee; and I have given my words in his mouth, and he hath spoken unto them all that which I command him; ¹⁹ and it hath been—the man who doth not hearken unto My words which he doth speak in My name, I require it of him.

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!

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

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. 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; 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.'

³⁹ `Ye search the Writings, because ye think in them to have life age-during, and these are they that are testifying concerning me;

³¹ and they said, `Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved—thou and thy house;'

¹⁴ and he said, The God of our fathers did choose thee beforehand to know His will, and to see the Righteous One, and to hear a voice out of his mouth, ¹⁵ because thou shalt be his witness unto all men of what thou hast seen and heard; ¹⁶ and now, why tarriest thou? having risen, baptize thyself, and wash away thy sins, calling upon the name of the Lord.

⁴ and to him who is working, the reward is not reckoned of grace, but of debt; ⁵ and to him who is not working, and is believing upon Him who is declaring righteous the impious, his faith is reckoned—to righteousness:

³⁰ What, then, shall we say? that nations who are not pursuing righteousness did attain to righteousness, and righteousness that is of faith, ³¹ and Israel, pursuing a law of righteousness, at a law of righteousness did not arrive;

³ for not knowing the righteousness of God, and their own righteousness seeking to establish, to the righteousness of God they did not submit. ⁴ For Christ is an end of law for righteousness to every one who is believing,

⁹ and having been made perfect, he did become to all those obeying him a cause of salvation age-during,

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,

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:

⁸ `—and it hath come to pass, if they do not give credence to thee, and hearken not to the voice of the first sign, that they have given credence to the voice of the latter sign.

³ And he hath given on that day a sign, saying, `This is the sign that Jehovah hath spoken, Lo, the altar is rent, and the ashes poured forth that are on it.'

⁵ and the altar is rent, and the ashes poured forth from the altar, according to the sign that the man of God had given by the word of Jehovah.

¹⁹ Who are saying, `Let Him hurry, Let Him hasten His work, that we may see, And let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel Draw near and come, and we know.'

¹¹ `Ask for thee a sign from Jehovah thy God, Make deep the request, or make it high upwards.' <sup>12</sup> And Ahaz saith, `I do not ask nor try Jehovah.' ¹³ And he saith, `Hear, I pray you, O house of David, Is it a little thing for you to weary men, That ye weary also my God? 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,

³⁸ Then answered certain of the scribes and Pharisees, saying, `Teacher, we will to see a sign from thee.' <sup>39</sup> And he answering said to them, `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;

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.

¹¹ and the Pharisees came forth, and began to dispute with him, seeking from him a sign from the heaven, tempting him;

³² The Christ! the king of Israel—let him come down now from the cross, that we may see and believe;' and those crucified with him were reproaching him.

²⁹ And the multitudes crowding together upon him, he began to say, `This generation is evil, a sign it doth seek after, and a sign shall not be given to it, except the sign of Jonah the prophet, ³⁰ for as Jonah became a sign to the Ninevites, so also shall the Son of Man be to this generation.

¹⁸ the Jews then answered and said to him, `What sign dost thou shew to us—that thou dost these things?'

⁸ for his disciples were gone away to the city, that they may buy victuals;

³⁶ but I said to you, that ye also have seen me, and ye believe not;

³⁸ and if I do, even if me ye may not believe, the works believe, that ye may know and may believe that in me is the Father, and I in Him.'

³⁷ yet he having done so many signs before them, they were not believing in him,

²⁵ the other disciples, therefore, said to him, `We have seen the Lord;' and he said to them, `If I may not see in his hands the mark of the nails, and may put my finger to the mark of the nails, and may put my hand to his side, I will not believe.'
²⁶ And after eight days, again were his disciples within, and Thomas with them; Jesus cometh, the doors having been shut, and he stood in the midst, and said, `Peace to you!' <sup>27</sup> 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.' ²⁸ And Thomas answered and said to him, `My Lord and my God;' <sup>29</sup> Jesus saith to him, `Because thou hast seen me, Thomas, thou hast believed; happy those not having seen, and having believed.'

³⁰ in the stretching forth of Thy hand, for healing, and signs, and wonders, to come to pass through the name of Thy holy child Jesus.'

²² Since also Jews ask a sign, and Greeks seek wisdom,

⁴ God also bearing joint-witness both with signs and wonders, and manifold powers, and distributions of the Holy Spirit, according to His will.

⁴ And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `Lo, I am raining to you bread from the heavens—and the people have gone out and gathered the matter of a day in its day—so that I try them whether they walk in My law, or not; <sup>5</sup> and it hath been on the sixth day, that they have prepared that which they bring in, and it hath been double above that which they gather day by day.' <sup>6</sup> And Moses saith—Aaron also—unto all the sons of Israel, `Evening—and ye have known that Jehovah hath brought you out from the land of Egypt; ⁷ and morning—and ye have seen the honour of Jehovah, in His hearing your murmurings against Jehovah, and what are we, that ye murmur against us?' ⁸ And Moses saith, `In Jehovah's giving to you in the evening flesh to eat, and bread in the morning to satiety—in Jehovah's hearing your murmurings, which ye are murmuring against Him, and what are we? your murmurings are not against us, but against Jehovah.' <sup>9</sup> And Moses saith unto Aaron, `Say unto all the company of the sons of Israel, Come ye near before Jehovah, for He hath heard your murmurings;' ¹⁰ and it cometh to pass, when Aaron is speaking unto all the company of the sons of Israel, that they turn towards the wilderness, and lo, the honour of Jehovah is seen in the cloud. ¹¹ And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying, ¹² `I have heard the murmurings of the sons of Israel; speak unto them, saying, Between the evenings ye eat flesh, and in the morning ye are satisfied with bread, and ye have known that I am Jehovah your God.'
<sup>13</sup> And it cometh to pass in the evening, that the quail cometh up, and covereth the camp, and in the morning there hath been the lying of dew round about the camp, <sup>14</sup> and the lying of the dew goeth up, and lo, on the face of the wilderness a thin, bare thing, thin as hoar-frost on the earth. <sup>15</sup> And the sons of Israel see, and say one unto another, `What is it?' for they have not known what it is; and Moses saith unto them, `It is the bread which Jehovah hath given to you for food.

³⁵ And the sons of Israel have eaten the manna forty years, until their coming in unto the land to be inhabited; the manna they have eaten till their coming in unto the extremity of the land of Canaan.

⁶ and now our soul is dry, there is not anything, save the manna, before our eyes.' ⁷ And the manna is as coriander seed, and its aspect as the aspect of bdolach; ⁸ the people have turned aside and gathered it, and ground it with millstones, or beat it in a mortar, and boiled it in a pan, and made it cakes, and its taste hath been as the taste of the moisture of oil. ⁹ And in the descending of the dew on the camp by night, the manna descendeth upon it.

³ `And He doth humble thee, and cause thee to hunger and doth cause thee to eat the manna (which thou hast not known, even thy fathers have not known), in order to cause thee to know that not by bread alone doth man live, but by every produce of the mouth of Jehovah man doth live.

¹² and the manna doth cease on the morrow in their eating of the old corn of the land, and there hath been no more manna to the sons of Israel, and they eat of the increase of the land of Canaan in that year.

¹⁵ and bread from the heavens Thou hast given to them for their hunger, and water from a rock hast brought out to them for their thirst, and dost say to them to go in to possess the land that Thou hast lifted up Thy hand to give to them.

²⁰ `And Thy good Spirit Thou hast given, to cause them to act wisely; and Thy manna Thou hast not withheld from their mouth, and water Thou hast given to them for their thirst,

²⁴ And He raineth on them manna to eat, Yea, corn of heaven He hath given to them. ²⁵ Food of the mighty hath each eaten, Venison He sent to them to satiety.

⁴⁰ They have asked, and He bringeth quails, And with bread of heaven satisfieth them.

⁴⁹ your fathers did eat the manna in the wilderness, and they died;

³ and all the same spiritual food did eat,

¹⁷ He who is having an ear—let him hear what the Spirit saith to the assemblies: To him who is overcoming, I will give to him to eat from the hidden manna, and will give to him a white stone, and upon the stone a new name written, that no one knew except him who is receiving it .

⁴ And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `Lo, I am raining to you bread from the heavens—and the people have gone out and gathered the matter of a day in its day—so that I try them whether they walk in My law, or not;

⁸ And Moses saith, `In Jehovah's giving to you in the evening flesh to eat, and bread in the morning to satiety—in Jehovah's hearing your murmurings, which ye are murmuring against Him, and what are we? your murmurings are not against us, but against Jehovah.'

²³ And He commandeth clouds from above, Yea, doors of the heavens He hath opened.

⁹ He was the true Light, which doth enlighten every man, coming to the world;

³³ for the bread of God is that which is coming down out of the heaven, and giving life to the world.'

³⁵ And Jesus said to them, `I am the bread of the life; he who is coming unto me may not hunger, and he who is believing in me may not thirst—at any time;

⁴¹ The Jews, therefore, were murmuring at him, because he said, `I am the bread that came down out of the heaven;'

⁵⁰ this is the bread that out of the heaven is coming down, that any one may eat of it, and not die.

⁵⁵ for my flesh truly is food, and my blood truly is drink;

¹ `I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman;

⁴ and when the fulness of time did come, God sent forth His Son, come of a woman, come under law,

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!

¹³ and no one hath gone up to the heaven, except he who out of the heaven came down—the Son of Man who is in the heaven.

³⁸ because I have come down out of the heaven, not that I may do my will, but the will of Him who sent me.

⁴⁸ I am the bread of the life;

⁴² Jesus then said to them, `If God were your father, ye were loving me, for I came forth from God, and am come; for neither have I come of myself, but He sent me;

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,

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

⁸ because the sayings that Thou hast given to me, I have given to them, and they themselves received, and have known truly, that from Thee I came forth, and they did believe that Thou didst send me.

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;

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 Many are saying, `Who doth show us good?' Lift on us the light of Thy face, O Jehovah,

¹⁵ The woman saith unto him, `Sir, give me this water, that I may not thirst, nor come hither to draw.'

²⁶ Jesus answered them and said, `Verily, verily, I say to you, Ye seek me, not because ye saw signs, but because ye did eat of the loaves, and were satisfied;

¹⁰ They do not hunger, nor thirst, Nor smite them doth mirage and sun, For He who is pitying them doth lead them, And by fountains of waters doth tend them.

¹ Ho, every thirsty one, come ye to the waters, And he who hath no money, Come ye, buy and eat, yea, come, buy Without money and without price, wine and milk. ² Why do ye weigh money for that which is not bread? And your labour for that which is not for satiety? Hearken diligently unto me, and eat good, And your soul doth delight itself in fatness. ³ Incline your ear, and come unto me, Hear, and your soul doth live, And I make for you a covenant age-during, The kind acts of David—that are stedfast.

²⁸ `Come unto me, all ye labouring and burdened ones, and I will give you rest,

²⁵ `Woe to you who have been filled—because ye shall hunger. `Woe to you who are laughing now—because ye shall mourn and weep.

⁴⁰ and ye do not will to come unto me, that ye may have life;

³⁷ all that the Father doth give to me will come unto me; and him who is coming unto me, I may in no wise cast without,

⁴⁴ no one is able to come unto me, if the Father who sent me may not draw him, and I will raise him up in the last day; ⁴⁵ it is having been written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God; every one therefore who heard from the Father, and learned, cometh to me;

⁴⁸ I am the bread of the life; ⁴⁹ your fathers did eat the manna in the wilderness, and they died; ⁵⁰ this is the bread that out of the heaven is coming down, that any one may eat of it, and not die. ⁵¹ `I am the living bread that came down out of the heaven; if any one may eat of this bread he shall live—to the age; and the bread also that I will give is my flesh, that I will give for the life of the world.' <sup>52</sup> The Jews, therefore, were striving with one another, saying, `How is this one able to give us his flesh to eat?' ⁵³ Jesus, therefore, said to them, `Verily, verily, I say to you, If ye may not eat the flesh of the Son of Man, and may not drink his blood, ye have no life in yourselves; <sup>54</sup> he who is eating my flesh, and is drinking my blood, hath life age-during, and I will raise him up in the last day; <sup>55</sup> for my flesh truly is food, and my blood truly is drink; <sup>56</sup> he who is eating my flesh, and is drinking my blood, doth remain in me, and I in him. <sup>57</sup> `According as the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, he also who is eating me, even that one shall live because of me; ⁵⁸ this is the bread that came down out of the heaven; not as your fathers did eat the manna, and died; he who is eating this bread shall live—to the age.'

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.'

³⁷ And in the last, the great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, `If any one doth thirst, let him come unto me and drink; ³⁸ he who is believing in me, according as the Writing said, Rivers out of his belly shall flow of living water;'

¹⁶ The cup of the blessing that we bless—is it not the fellowship of the blood of the Christ? the bread that we break—is it not the fellowship of the body of the Christ? ¹⁷ because one bread, one body, are we the many—for we all of the one bread do partake. ¹⁸ See Israel according to the flesh! are not those eating the sacrifices in the fellowship of the altar?

²³ For I—I received from the Lord that which also I did deliver to you, that the Lord Jesus in the night in which he was delivered up, took bread, ²⁴ and having given thanks, he brake, and said, `Take ye, eat ye, this is my body, that for you is being broken; this do ye—to the remembrance of me.' <sup>25</sup> In like manner also the cup after the supping, saying, `This cup is the new covenant in my blood; this do ye, as often as ye may drink it —to the remembrance of me;' ²⁶ for as often as ye may eat this bread, and this cup may drink, the death of the Lord ye do shew forth—till he may come; ²⁷ so that whoever may eat this bread or may drink the cup of the Lord unworthily, guilty he shall be of the body and blood of the Lord: ²⁸ and let a man be proving himself, and so of the bread let him eat, and of the cup let him drink; ²⁹ for he who is eating and drinking unworthily, judgment to himself he doth eat and drink—not discerning the body of the Lord.

¹⁶ they shall not hunger any more, nor may the sun fall upon them, nor any heat,

¹⁷ And the Spirit and the Bride say, Come; and he who is hearing—let him say, Come; and he who is thirsting—let him come; and he who is willing—let him take the water of life freely.

³¹ And he said to him, If Moses and the prophets they do not hear, neither if one may rise out of the dead will they be persuaded.'

⁸ whom, not having seen, ye love, in whom, now not seeing and believing, ye are glad with joy unspeakable and glorified, ⁹ receiving the end of your faith—salvation of souls;

¹⁷ He turned unto the prayer of the destitute, And He hath not despised their prayer.

³ Thy people are free-will gifts in the day of Thy strength, in the honours of holiness, From the womb, from the morning, Thou hast the dew of thy youth.

¹⁸ Come, I pray you, and we reason, saith Jehovah, If your sins are as scarlet, as snow they shall be white, If they are red as crimson, as wool they shall be! ¹⁹ If ye are willing, and have hearkened, The good of the land ye consume,

⁹ Whom I have taken hold of, from the ends of the earth, And from its near places I have called thee, And I say to thee, My servant Thou art, I have chosen thee, and not rejected thee.

³ A bruised reed he breaketh not, And dim flax he quencheth not, To truth he bringeth forth judgment.

⁷ Forsake doth the wicked his way, And the man of iniquity his thoughts, And he returneth to Jehovah, and He pitieth him, And unto our God for He multiplieth to pardon.

²⁴ for there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and they shall give great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, also the chosen.

⁴⁰ And the other answering, was rebuking him, saying, `Dost thou not even fear God, that thou art in the same judgment? <sup>41</sup> and we indeed righteously, for things worthy of what we did we receive back, but this one did nothing out of place;' <sup>42</sup> and he said to Jesus, `Remember me, lord, when thou mayest come in thy reign;' ⁴³ and Jesus said to him, `Verily I say to thee, To-day with me thou shalt be in the paradise.'

³⁹ `And this is the will of the Father who sent me, that all that He hath given to me I may not lose of it, but may raise it up in the last day;

³⁴ They answered and said to him, `In sins thou wast born altogether, and thou dost teach us!' and they cast him forth without.

²⁸ and life age-during I give to them, and they shall not perish—to the age, and no one shall pluck them out of my hand; ²⁹ my Father, who hath given to me, is greater than all, and no one is able to pluck out of the hand of my Father;

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;

⁸ because the sayings that Thou hast given to me, I have given to them, and they themselves received, and have known truly, that from Thee I came forth, and they did believe that Thou didst send me. ⁹ `I ask in regard to them; not in regard to the world do I ask, but in regard to those whom Thou hast given to me, because Thine they are,

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;

²⁴ `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.

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

⁴ and God, being rich in kindness, because of His great love with which He loved us, ⁵ even being dead in the trespasses, did make us to live together with the Christ, (by grace ye are having been saved,) ⁶ and did raise us up together, and did seat us together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, ⁷ that He might show, in the ages that are coming, the exceeding riches of His grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus, ⁸ for by grace ye are having been saved, through faith, and this not of you—of God the gift, ⁹ not of works, that no one may boast; ¹⁰ for of Him we are workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to good works, which God did before prepare, that in them we may walk.

²⁹ because to you it was granted, on behalf of Christ, not only to believe in him, but also on behalf of him to suffer;

¹³ And we—we ought to give thanks to God always for you, brethren, beloved by the Lord, that God did choose you from the beginning to salvation, in sanctification of the Spirit, and belief of the truth, ¹⁴ to which He did call you through our good news, to the acquiring of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ;

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:

³ for we were once—also we—thoughtless, disobedient, led astray, serving desires and pleasures manifold, in malice and envy living, odious—hating one another; ⁴ and when the kindness and the love to men of God our Saviour did appear ⁵ (not by works that are in righteousness that we did but according to His kindness,) He did save us, through a bathing of regeneration, and a renewing of the Holy Spirit, ⁶ which He poured upon us richly, through Jesus Christ our Saviour, ⁷ that having been declared righteous by His grace, heirs we may become according to the hope of life age-during.

¹⁵ for we have not a chief priest unable to sympathise with our infirmities, but one tempted in all things in like manner—apart from sin;

²⁵ whence also he is able to save to the very end, those coming through him unto God—ever living to make intercession for them.

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.

⁷ Then said I, `Lo, I have come,' In the roll of the book it is written of me, ⁸ To do Thy pleasure, my God, I have delighted, And Thy law is within my heart.

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.

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.'

³⁹ And having gone forward a little, he fell on his face, praying, and saying, `My Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as Thou.' <sup>40</sup> And he cometh unto the disciples, and findeth them sleeping, and he saith to Peter, `So! ye were not able one hour to watch with me! ⁴¹ watch, and pray, that ye may not enter into temptation: the spirit indeed is forward, but the flesh weak.' ⁴² Again, a second time, having gone away, he prayed, saying, `My Father, if this cup cannot pass away from me except I drink it, Thy will be done;'

³¹ he who from above is coming is above all; he who is from the earth, from the earth he is, and from the earth he speaketh; he who from the heaven is coming is above all.

³⁴ Jesus saith to them, `My food is, that I may do the will of Him who sent me, and may finish His work;

³⁰ `I am not able of myself to do anything; according as I hear I judge, and my judgment is righteous, because I seek not my own will, but the will of the Father who sent me.

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;'

⁹ and that, he went up, what is it except that he also went down first to the lower parts of the earth?

⁷ but did empty himself, the form of a servant having taken, in the likeness of men having been made, ⁸ and in fashion having been found as a man, he humbled himself, having become obedient unto death—death even of a cross,

⁸ through being a Son, did learn by the things which he suffered—the obedience,

⁷ then I said, Lo, I come, (in a volume of the book it hath been written concerning me,) to do, O God, Thy will;' ⁸ 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— <sup>9</sup> then he said, `Lo, I come to do, O God, Thy will;' he doth take away the first that the second he may establish;

²⁹ And man riseth to pursue thee and to seek thy soul, and the soul of my lord hath been bound in the bundle of life with Jehovah thy God; as to the soul of thine enemies, He doth sling them out in the midst of the hollow of the sling.

¹⁴ so it is not will in presence of your Father who is in the heavens, that one of these little ones may perish.

³² `Fear not, little flock, because your Father did delight to give you the reign;

²⁸ `Wonder not at this, because there doth come an hour in which all those in the tombs shall hear his voice,

⁴⁴ no one is able to come unto me, if the Father who sent me may not draw him, and I will raise him up in the last day;

²⁷ according as I said to you: My sheep my voice do hear, and I know them, and they follow me, ²⁸ and life age-during I give to them, and they shall not perish—to the age, and no one shall pluck them out of my hand; ²⁹ my Father, who hath given to me, is greater than all, and no one is able to pluck out of the hand of my Father; ³⁰ I and the Father are one.'

²⁴ Martha saith to him, `I have known that he will rise again, in the rising again in the last day;'

⁴⁸ `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,

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.

⁹ that the word might be fulfilled that he said—`Those whom Thou hast given to me, I did not lose of them even one.'

¹¹ and if the Spirit of Him who did raise up Jesus out of the dead doth dwell in you, He who did raise up the Christ out of the dead shall quicken also your dying bodies, through His Spirit dwelling in you.

²⁸ And we have known that to those loving God all things do work together for good, to those who are called according to purpose;
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; ³⁰ and whom He did fore-appoint, these also He did call; and whom He did call, these also He declared righteous; and whom He declared righteous, these also He did glorify.
³¹ What, then, shall we say unto these things? if God is for us, who is against us?

²⁰ For our citizenship is in the heavens, whence also a Saviour we await—the Lord Jesus Christ— ²¹ who shall transform the body of our humiliation to its becoming conformed to the body of his glory, according to the working of his power, even to subject to himself the all things.

³ for ye did die, and your life hath been hid with the Christ in God; ⁴ when the Christ—our life—may be manifested, then also we with him shall be manifested in glory.

⁵ who, in the power of God are being guarded, through faith, unto salvation, ready to be revealed in the last time,

¹ Judas, of Jesus Christ a servant, and brother of James, to those sanctified in God the Father, and in Jesus Christ kept—called,

²¹ Declare ye, and bring near, Yea, they take counsel together, Who hath proclaimed this from of old? From that time hath declared it? Is it not I—Jehovah? And there is no other god besides Me, A God righteous and saving, there is none save Me. ²² Turn to Me, and be saved, all ends of the earth, For I am God, and there is none else.

¹⁰ Jehovah hath made bare His holy arm Before the eyes of all the nations, And seen have all the ends of the earth, The salvation of our God.

² Yea, he cometh up as a tender plant before Him, And as a root out of a dry land, He hath no form, nor honour, when we observe him, Nor appearance, when we desire him.

³⁰ because mine eyes did see Thy salvation,

¹⁴ And the Word became flesh, and did tabernacle among us, and we beheld his glory, glory as of an only begotten of a father, full of grace and truth.

¹⁵ that every one who is believing in him may not perish, but may have life age-during,

¹⁴ but whoever may drink of the water that I will give him, may not thirst—to the age; and the water that I will give him shall become in him a well of water, springing up to life age-during.'

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.

²⁷ work not for the food that is perishing, but for the food that is remaining to life age-during, which the Son of Man will give to you, for him did the Father seal—even God.'

³⁵ And Jesus said to them, `I am the bread of the life; he who is coming unto me may not hunger, and he who is believing in me may not thirst—at any time; ³⁶ but I said to you, that ye also have seen me, and ye believe not; ³⁷ all that the Father doth give to me will come unto me; and him who is coming unto me, I may in no wise cast without,

⁵⁶ Abraham, your father, was glad that he might see my day; and he saw, and did rejoice.'

²⁵ Jesus said to her, `I am the rising again, and the life; he who is believing in me, even if he may die, shall live;

⁴⁵ and he who is beholding me, doth behold Him who sent me;

⁵⁰ and I have known that His command is life age-during; what, therefore, I speak, according as the Father hath said to me, so I speak.'

¹⁷ the Spirit of truth, whom the world is not able to receive, because it doth not behold him, nor know him, and ye know him, because he doth remain with you, and shall be in you.

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

²¹ that even as the sin did reign in the death, so also the grace may reign, through righteousness, to life age-during, through Jesus Christ our Lord.

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.

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;

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

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— 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;

²⁵ and this is the promise that He did promise us—the life the age-during.

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.

²¹ yourselves in the love of God keep ye, waiting for the kindness of our Lord Jesus Christ—to life age-during;

³⁰ and the scribes and the Pharisees among them were murmuring at his disciples, saying, `Wherefore with tax-gatherers and sinners do ye eat and drink?'

² and the Pharisees and the scribes were murmuring, saying—This one doth receive sinners, and doth eat with them.'

⁷ and having seen it, they were all murmuring, saying—`With a sinful man he went in to lodge!'

⁴³ Jesus answered, therefore, and said to them, `Murmur not one with another;

⁵¹ `I am the living bread that came down out of the heaven; if any one may eat of this bread he shall live—to the age; and the bread also that I will give is my flesh, that I will give for the life of the world.' <sup>52</sup> The Jews, therefore, were striving with one another, saying, `How is this one able to give us his flesh to eat?'

⁶⁰ many, therefore, of his disciples having heard, said, `This word is hard; who is able to hear it?'

⁶⁶ From this time many of his disciples went away backward, and were no more walking with him,

¹² and there was much murmuring about him among the multitudes, some indeed said—`He is good;' and others said, `No, but he leadeth astray the multitude;'

¹⁰ neither murmur ye, as also some of them did murmur, and did perish by the destroyer.

¹⁶ These are murmurers, repiners; according to their desires walking, and their mouth doth speak great swellings, giving admiration to persons for the sake of profit;

⁵⁵ is not this the carpenter's son? is not his mother called Mary, and his brethren James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas? ⁵⁶ and his sisters—are they not all with us? whence, then, to this one all these?'

³ Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, and brother of James, and Joses, and Judas, and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us?' —and they were being stumbled at him.

²² and all were bearing testimony to him, and were wondering at the gracious words that are coming forth out of his mouth, and they said, `Is not this the son of Joseph?'

⁶² if then ye may behold the Son of Man going up where he was before?

²⁷ but this one—we have known whence he is; and the Christ, when he doth come, no one doth know whence he is.' ²⁸ Jesus cried, therefore, in the temple, teaching and saying, `Ye have both known me, and ye have known whence I am; and I have not come of myself, but He who sent me is true, whom ye have not known;

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;

⁵ whose are the fathers, and of whom is the Christ, according to the flesh, who is over all, God blessed to the ages. Amen.

⁴⁷ The first man is out of the earth, earthy; the second man is the Lord out of heaven;

⁸ And Jesus having known, said to them, `Why reason ye in yourselves, ye of little faith, because ye took no loaves?

³³ And he came to Capernaum, and being in the house, he was questioning them, `What were ye reasoning in the way among yourselves?'

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?

⁴ Draw me: after thee we run, The king hath brought me into his inner chambers, We do joy and rejoice in thee, We mention thy loves more than wine, Uprightly they have loved thee!

¹⁸ They have not known, nor do they understand, For He hath daubed their eyes from seeing, Their heart from acting wisely. ¹⁹ And none doth turn it back unto his heart, Nor hath knowledge nor understanding to say, `Half of it I have burned in the fire, Yea, also, I have baked bread over its coals, I roast flesh and I eat, And its remnant for an abomination I make, To the stock of a tree I fall down.' <sup>20</sup> Feeding on ashes, the heart is deceived, It hath turned him aside, And he delivereth not his soul, nor saith: `Is there not a lie in my right hand?'

²³ Doth a Cushite change his skin? and a leopard his spots? Ye also are able to do good, who are accustomed to do evil.

³ From afar Jehovah hath appeared to me, With love age-during I have loved thee, Therefore I have drawn thee with kindness.

⁴ With cords of man I do draw them, With thick cords of love, And I am to them as a raiser up of a yoke on their jaws, And I incline unto him—I feed him .

²⁵ At that time Jesus answering said, `I do confess to Thee, Father, Lord of the heavens and of the earth, that thou didst hide these things from wise and understanding ones, and didst reveal them to babes. <sup>26</sup> Yes, Father, because so it was good pleasure before Thee. <sup>27</sup> `All things were delivered to me by my Father, and none doth know the Son, except the Father, nor doth any know the Father, except the Son, and he to whom the Son may wish to reveal Him .

³⁴ `Brood of vipers! how are ye able to speak good things—being evil? for out of the abundance of the heart doth the mouth speak.

¹⁷ And Jesus answering said to him, `Happy art thou, Simon Bar-Jona, because flesh and blood did not reveal it to thee, but my Father who is in the heavens.

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;' <sup>4</sup> Nicodemus saith unto him, `How is a man able to be born, being old? is he able into the womb of his mother a second time to enter, and to be born?' ⁵ Jesus answered, `Verily, verily, I say to thee, If any one may not be born of water, and the Spirit, he is not able to enter into the reign of God; <sup>6</sup> that which hath been born of the flesh is flesh, and that which hath been born of the Spirit is spirit. <sup>7</sup> `Thou mayest not wonder that I said to thee, It behoveth you to be born from above;

⁴⁴ how are ye able—ye—to believe, glory from one another receiving, and the glory that is from God alone ye seek not?

³⁹ `And this is the will of the Father who sent me, that all that He hath given to me I may not lose of it, but may raise it up in the last day; 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.'

⁴⁵ it is having been written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God; every one therefore who heard from the Father, and learned, cometh to me;

⁴³ wherefore do ye not know my speech? because ye are not able to hear my word.

³² and I, if I may be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto myself.'

³⁷ yet he having done so many signs before them, they were not believing in him, ³⁸ that the word of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he said, `Lord, who gave credence to our report? and the arm of the Lord—to whom was it revealed?' <sup>39</sup> Because of this they were not able to believe, that again Isaiah said, <sup>40</sup> `He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart, that they might not see with the eyes, and understand with the heart, and turn back, and I might heal them;'

⁷ because the mind of the flesh is enmity to God, for to the law of God it doth not subject itself, ⁸ for neither is it able; and those who are in the flesh are not able to please God.

¹² being buried with him in the baptism, in which also ye rose with him through the faith of the working of God, who did raise him out of the dead.

³ for we were once—also we—thoughtless, disobedient, led astray, serving desires and pleasures manifold, in malice and envy living, odious—hating one another; ⁴ and when the kindness and the love to men of God our Saviour did appear ⁵ (not by works that are in righteousness that we did but according to His kindness,) He did save us, through a bathing of regeneration, and a renewing of the Holy Spirit,

³ And gone have many peoples and said, `Come, and we go up unto the mount of Jehovah, Unto the house of the God of Jacob, And He doth teach us of His ways, And we walk in His paths, For from Zion goeth forth a law, And a word of Jehovah from Jerusalem.

¹³ And all thy sons are taught of Jehovah, And abundant is the peace of thy sons.

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. ³⁴ And they do not teach any more Each his neighbour, and each his brother, Saying, Know ye Jehovah, For they all know Me, from their least unto their greatest, An affirmation of Jehovah; For I pardon their iniquity, And of their sin I make mention no more.

² And gone have many nations and said, Come and we go up to the mount of Jehovah, And unto the house of the God of Jacob, And He doth teach us of His ways, And we do walk in His paths, For from Zion doth go forth a law, And a word of Jehovah from Jerusalem.

²⁷ `All things were delivered to me by my Father, and none doth know the Son, except the Father, nor doth any know the Father, except the Son, and he to whom the Son may wish to reveal Him .

² As it hath been written in the prophets, `Lo, I send My messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee,' —

⁷⁰ As He spake by the mouth of His holy prophets, Which have been from the age;

³¹ And having taken the twelve aside, he said unto them, `Lo, we go up to Jerusalem, and all things shall be completed—that have been written through the prophets—to the Son of Man,

³⁸ and His word ye have not remaining in you, because whom He sent, him ye do not believe. 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;

²⁷ according as I said to you: My sheep my voice do hear, and I know them, and they follow me,

¹⁴ He will glorify me, because of mine He will take, and will tell to you. ¹⁵ `All things, as many as the Father hath, are mine; because of this I said, That of mine He will take, and will tell to you;

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,

²¹ if so be ye did hear him, and in him were taught, as truth is in Jesus; ²² ye are to put off concerning the former behaviour the old man, that is corrupt according to the desires of the deceit,

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 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; ¹¹ and they shall not teach each his neighbour, and each his brother, saying, Know thou the Lord, because they shall all know Me from the small one of them unto the great one of them,

¹⁶ `This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, giving My laws on their hearts, and upon their minds I will write them,'

¹ Beloved, every spirit believe not, but prove the spirits, if of God they are, because many false prophets have gone forth to the world; ² in this know ye the Spirit of God; every spirit that doth confess Jesus Christ in the flesh having come, of God it is, ³ and every spirit that doth not confess Jesus Christ in the flesh having come, of God it is not; and this is that of the antichrist, which ye heard that it doth come, and now in the world it is already.

²² `All things were delivered up to me by my Father, and no one doth know who the Son is, except the Father, and who the Father is, except the Son, and he to whom the Son may wish to reveal Him .'

¹⁸ God no one hath ever seen; the only begotten Son, who is on the bosom of the Father—he did declare.

³⁷ `And the Father who sent me Himself hath testified concerning me; ye have neither heard His voice at any time, nor His appearance have ye seen;

²⁹ and I have known Him, because I am from Him, and He did send me.'

¹⁹ They said, therefore, to him, `Where is thy father?' Jesus answered, `Ye have neither known me nor my Father: if me ye had known, my Father also ye had known.'

⁵⁵ and ye have not known Him, and I have known Him, and if I say that I have not known Him, I shall be like you—speaking falsely; but I have known Him, and His word I keep;

⁹ Jesus saith to him, `So long time am I with you, and thou hast not known me, Philip? he who hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how dost thou say, Shew to us the Father? ¹⁰ Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father is in me? the sayings that I speak to you, from myself I speak not, and the Father who is abiding in me, Himself doth the works;

¹⁵ who is the image of the invisible God, first-born of all creation,

¹⁶ who only is having immortality, dwelling in light unapproachable, whom no one of men did see, nor is able to see, to whom is honour and might age-during! Amen.

¹² God no one hath ever seen; if we may love one another, God in us doth remain, and His love is having been perfected in us;

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.

⁹ much more, then, having been declared righteous now in his blood, we shall be saved through him from the wrath; ¹⁰ for if, being enemies, we have been reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved in his life.

³³ for the bread of God is that which is coming down out of the heaven, and giving life to the world.' ³⁴ They said, therefore, unto him, `Sir, always give us this bread.' <sup>35</sup> And Jesus said to them, `I am the bread of the life; he who is coming unto me may not hunger, and he who is believing in me may not thirst—at any time;

¹⁶ The cup of the blessing that we bless—is it not the fellowship of the blood of the Christ? the bread that we break—is it not the fellowship of the body of the Christ? ¹⁷ because one bread, one body, are we the many—for we all of the one bread do partake.

²⁴ and having given thanks, he brake, and said, `Take ye, eat ye, this is my body, that for you is being broken; this do ye—to the remembrance of me.' <sup>25</sup> In like manner also the cup after the supping, saying, `This cup is the new covenant in my blood; this do ye, as often as ye may drink it —to the remembrance of me;'

⁶⁵ for Jehovah said of them, `They do certainly die in the wilderness;' and there hath not been left of them a man save Caleb son of Jephunneh, and Joshua son of Nun.

⁵ Your fathers—where are they? And the prophets—to the age do they live?

³¹ our fathers the manna did eat in the wilderness, according as it is having been written, Bread out of the heaven He gave them to eat.'

³ and all the same spiritual food did eat, ⁴ and all the same spiritual drink did drink, for they were drinking of a spiritual rock following them, and the rock was the Christ; ⁵ but in the most of them God was not well pleased, for they were strewn in the wilderness,

¹⁷ but with whom was He grieved forty years? was it not with those who did sin, whose carcasses fell in the wilderness? ¹⁸ and to whom did He swear that they shall not enter into His rest, except to those who did not believe? — ¹⁹ and we see that they were not able to enter in because of unbelief.

⁵ and to remind you I intend, you knowing once this, that the Lord, a people out of the land of Egypt having saved, again those who did not believe did destroy;

⁴² and they said, `Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we have known? how then saith this one—Out of the heaven I have come down?'

⁵¹ verily, verily, I say to you, If any one may keep my word, death he may not see—to the age.'

¹⁰ and if Christ is in you, the body, indeed, is dead because of sin, and the Spirit is life because of righteousness,

¹⁹ And having taken bread, having given thanks, he brake and gave to them, saying, `This is my body, that for you is being given, this do ye—to remembrance of me.'

²⁹ on the morrow John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, `Lo, the Lamb of God, who is taking away the sin of the world;

¹⁰ Jesus answered and said to her, `If thou hadst known the gift of God, and who it is who is saying to thee, Give me to drink, thou wouldest have asked him, and he would have given thee living water.' <sup>11</sup> The woman saith to him, `Sir, thou hast not even a vessel to draw with, and the well is deep; whence, then, hast thou the living water?

³⁸ he who is believing in me, according as the Writing said, Rivers out of his belly shall flow of living water;'

¹⁹ how that God was in Christ—a world reconciling to Himself, not reckoning to them their trespasses; and having put in us the word of the reconciliation,

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.

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,

²⁵ The husbands! love your own wives, as also the Christ did love the assembly, and did give himself for it,

¹⁴ who did give himself for us, that he might ransom us from all lawlessness, and might purify to himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works;

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, ¹¹ and every priest, indeed, hath stood daily serving, and the same sacrifices many times offering, that are never able to take away sins. ¹² And He, for sin one sacrifice having offered—to the end, did sit down on the right hand of God, —

²⁰ which way he did initiate for us—new and living, through the vail, that is, his flesh—

⁴ to whom coming—a living stone—by men, indeed, having been disapproved of, but with God choice, precious,

² and he—he is a propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only, but also for the whole world,

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.

¹⁴ And we—we have seen and do testify, that the Father hath sent the Son—Saviour of the world;

⁴ Nicodemus saith unto him, `How is a man able to be born, being old? is he able into the womb of his mother a second time to enter, and to be born?'

⁹ Nicodemus answered and said to him, `How are these things able to happen?'

¹¹ The woman saith to him, `Sir, thou hast not even a vessel to draw with, and the well is deep; whence, then, hast thou the living water?

⁴⁰ Many, therefore out of the multitude, having heard the word, said, `This is truly the Prophet;' <sup>41</sup> others said, `This is the Christ;' and others said, `Why, out of Galilee doth the Christ come? ⁴² Did not the Writing say, that out of the seed of David, and from Bethlehem—the village where David was—the Christ doth come?' ⁴³ A division, therefore, arose among the multitude because of him.

¹⁶ Of the Pharisees, therefore, certain said, `This man is not from God, because the sabbath he doth not keep;' others said, `How is a man—a sinful one—able to do such signs?' and there was a division among them.

¹⁹ Therefore, again, there came a division among the Jews, because of these words,

³² And having heard of a rising again of the dead, some, indeed, were mocking, but others said, `We will hear thee again concerning this;'

¹⁴ and the natural man doth not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for to him they are foolishness, and he is not able to know them, because spiritually they are discerned;

¹⁸ for, verily I say to you, till that the heaven and the earth may pass away, one iota or one tittle may not pass away from the law, till that all may come to pass.

³ and said, `Verily I say to you, if ye may not be turned and become as the children, ye may not enter into the reign of the heavens;

²⁶ And while they were eating, Jesus having taken the bread, and having blessed, did brake, and was giving to the disciples, and said, `Take, eat, this is my body;' <sup>27</sup> and having taken the cup, and having given thanks, he gave to them, saying, `Drink ye of it—all; ²⁸ for this is my blood of the new covenant, that for many is being poured out—to remission of sins;

³ No—I say to you, but, if ye may not reform, all ye even so shall perish.

⁵ No—I say to you, but, if ye may not reform, all ye in like manner shall perish.'

²⁶ Jesus answered them and said, `Verily, verily, I say to you, Ye seek me, not because ye saw signs, but because ye did eat of the loaves, and were satisfied; ²⁷ work not for the food that is perishing, but for the food that is remaining to life age-during, which the Son of Man will give to you, for him did the Father seal—even God.'

⁸ Peter saith to him, `Thou mayest not wash my feet—to the age.' Jesus answered him, `If I may not wash thee, thou hast no part with me;'

⁴ remain in me, and I in you, as the branch is not able to bear fruit of itself, if it may not remain in the vine, so neither ye, if ye may not remain in me.

¹² he who is having the Son, hath the life; he who is not having the Son of God—the life he hath not.

⁷ He who is having an ear—let him hear what the Spirit saith to the assemblies: To him who is overcoming—I will give to him to eat of the tree of life that is in the midst of the paradise of God.

²⁶ The humble do eat and are satisfied, Praise Jehovah do those seeking Him, Your heart doth live for ever.

⁴ `Who is simple? let him turn aside hither.' Whoso lacketh heart: she hath said to him, <sup>5</sup> `Come, eat of my bread, And drink of the wine I have mingled. ⁶ Forsake ye, the simple, and live, And be happy in the way of understanding.

⁶ And made hath Jehovah of Hosts, For all the peoples in this mount, A banquet of fat things, a banquet of preserved things, Fat things full of marrow, preserved things refined. ⁷ And swallowed up hath He in this mountain The face of the wrapping that is wrapped over all the peoples, And of the covering that is spread over all the nations. 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.

⁶³ the spirit it is that is giving life; the flesh doth not profit anything; the sayings that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life;

²⁰ with Christ I have been crucified, and live no more do I, and Christ doth live in me; and that which I now live in the flesh—in the faith I live of the Son of God, who did love me and did give himself for me;

⁷ But what things were to me gains, these I have counted, because of the Christ, loss; 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,
⁹ not having my righteousness, which is of law, but that which is through faith of Christ—the righteousness that is of God by the faith, ¹⁰ to know him, and the power of his rising again, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being conformed to his death,

⁷ Thou hast given joy in my heart, From the time their corn and their wine Have been multiplied.

⁴⁷ Jesus saw Nathanael coming unto him, and he saith concerning him, `Lo, truly an Israelite, in whom guile is not;'

³² Jesus, therefore, said to them, `Verily, verily, I say to you, Moses did not give you the bread out of the heaven; but my Father doth give you the true bread out of the heaven;

³¹ Jesus, therefore, said unto the Jews who believed in him, `If ye may remain in my word, truly my disciples ye are, and ye shall know the truth,

³⁶ if then the son may make you free, in reality ye shall be free.

² of the holy places a servant, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord did set up, and not man,

¹ A Prayer of Moses, the man of God. Lord, a habitation Thou—Thou hast been, To us—in generation and generation,

¹ He who is dwelling In the secret place of the Most High, In the shade of the Mighty lodgeth habitually,

⁹ (For Thou, O Jehovah, art my refuge,) The Most High thou madest thy habitation.

²⁴ My portion is Jehovah, hath my soul said, Therefore I hope for Him.

²⁰ in that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you;

²³ 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;

⁴ remain in me, and I in you, as the branch is not able to bear fruit of itself, if it may not remain in the vine, so neither ye, if ye may not remain in me. ⁵ `I am the vine, ye the branches; he who is remaining in me, and I in him, this one doth bear much fruit, because apart from me ye are not able to do anything;

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; ²³ 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.

¹⁶ and what agreement to the sanctuary of God with idols? for ye are a sanctuary of the living God, according as God said—`I will dwell in them, and will walk among them, and I will be their God, and they shall be My people,

¹⁷ that the Christ may dwell through the faith in your hearts, in love having been rooted and founded,

²⁴ and he who is keeping His commands, in Him he doth remain, and He in him; and in this we know that He doth remain in us, from the Spirit that He gave us.

¹⁵ whoever may confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God in him doth remain, and he in God; ¹⁶ and we—we have known and believed the love, that God hath in us; God is love, and he who is remaining in the love, in God he doth remain, and God in him.

⁴⁶ Jehovah liveth—and blessed is my rock, And exalted is the God of my salvation.

¹⁰ And Jehovah is a God of truth, He is a living God, and a king age-during, From His wrath shake doth the earth, And nations endure not His indignation.

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

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;

²⁶ for, as the Father hath life in himself, so He gave also to the Son to have life in himself,

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 for even as in Adam all die, so also in the Christ all shall be made alive,

⁴ for even if he was crucified from infirmity, yet he doth live from the power of God; for we also are weak in him, but we shall live with him from the power of God toward you.

⁹ for they themselves concerning us do declare what entrance we had unto you, and how ye did turn unto God from the idols, to serve a living and true God,

¹⁴ how much more shall the blood of the Christ (who through the age-during Spirit did offer himself unblemished to God) purify your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?

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;

³¹ our fathers the manna did eat in the wilderness, according as it is having been written, Bread out of the heaven He gave them to eat.' ³² Jesus, therefore, said to them, `Verily, verily, I say to you, Moses did not give you the bread out of the heaven; but my Father doth give you the true bread out of the heaven; <sup>33</sup> for the bread of God is that which is coming down out of the heaven, and giving life to the world.' <sup>34</sup> They said, therefore, unto him, `Sir, always give us this bread.'

⁴⁷ `Verily, verily, I say to you, He who is believing in me, hath life age-during; <sup>48</sup> I am the bread of the life; <sup>49</sup> your fathers did eat the manna in the wilderness, and they died; <sup>50</sup> this is the bread that out of the heaven is coming down, that any one may eat of it, and not die. <sup>51</sup> `I am the living bread that came down out of the heaven; if any one may eat of this bread he shall live—to the age; and the bread also that I will give is my flesh, that I will give for the life of the world.'

⁹ I have proclaimed tidings of righteousness In the great assembly, lo, my lips I restrain not, O Jehovah, Thou hast known. ¹⁰ Thy righteousness I have not concealed In the midst of my heart, Thy faithfulness and Thy salvation I have told, I have not hidden Thy kindness and Thy truth, To the great assembly.

²⁰ Wisdom in an out-place crieth aloud, In broad places she giveth forth her voice, ²¹ At the head of the multitudes she calleth, In the openings of the gates, In the city her sayings she saith: ²² `Till when, ye simple, do ye love simplicity? And have scorners their scorning desired? And do fools hate knowledge? ²³ Turn back at my reproof, lo, I pour forth to you my spirit, I make known my words with you.

¹ Doth not wisdom call? And understanding give forth her voice? ² At the head of high places by the way, Between the paths she hath stood, ³ At the side of the gates, at the mouth of the city, The entrance of the openings, she crieth aloud,

³¹ And he came down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee, and was teaching them on the sabbaths,

²⁰ Jesus answered him, `I spake freely to the world, I did always teach in a synagogue, and in the temple, where the Jews do always come together; and in secret I spake nothing;

⁶ and happy is he who may not be stumbled in me.'

⁴¹ The Jews, therefore, were murmuring at him, because he said, `I am the bread that came down out of the heaven;' <sup>42</sup> and they said, `Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we have known? how then saith this one—Out of the heaven I have come down?'

¹¹ concerning whom we have much discourse and of hard explanation to say, since ye have become dull of hearing,

¹⁶ as also in all the epistles, speaking in them concerning these things, among which things are certain hard to be understood, which the untaught and unstable do wrest, as also the other Writings, unto their own destruction.

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;

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.

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

⁵¹ and it came to pass, in his blessing them, he was parted from them, and was borne up to the heaven;

⁴ I did glorify Thee on the earth, the work I did finish that Thou hast given me, that I may do it . ⁵ `And now, glorify me, Thou Father, with Thyself, with the glory that I had before the world was, with Thee;

⁹ And these things having said—they beholding—he was taken up, and a cloud did receive him up from their sight;

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—

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

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.

⁴⁷ for it is not a vain thing for you, for it is your life, and by this thing ye prolong days on the ground whither ye are passing over the Jordan to possess it.'

⁷ The law of Jehovah is perfect, refreshing the soul, The testimonies of Jehovah are stedfast, Making wise the simple, ⁸ The precepts of Jehovah are upright, Rejoicing the heart, The command of Jehovah is pure, enlightening the eyes, ⁹ The fear of Jehovah is clean, standing to the age, The judgments of Jehovah are true, They have been righteous—together. ¹⁰ They are more desirable than gold, Yea, than much fine gold; and sweeter than honey, Even liquid honey of the comb.

⁵⁰ This is my comfort in mine affliction, That Thy saying hath quickened me.

⁹³ To the age I forget not Thy precepts, For by them Thou hast quickened me.

¹³⁰ The opening of Thy words enlighteneth, Instructing the simple.

⁴⁹ because I spake not from myself, but the Father who sent me, He did give me a command, what I may say, and what I may speak, ⁵⁰ and I have known that His command is life age-during; what, therefore, I speak, according as the Father hath said to me, so I speak.'

²⁵ For circumcision, indeed, doth profit, if law thou mayest practise, but if a transgressor of law thou mayest be, thy circumcision hath become uncircumcision.

¹ What, then, is the superiority of the Jew? or what the profit of the circumcision? ² much in every way; for first, indeed, that they were intrusted with the oracles of God;

² for the law of the Spirit of the life in Christ Jesus did set me free from the law of the sin and of the death;

⁸ But what doth it say? `Nigh thee is the saying—in thy mouth, and in thy heart:' that is, the saying of the faith, that we preach; ⁹ that if thou mayest confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and mayest believe in thy heart that God did raise him out of the dead, thou shalt be saved, ¹⁰ for with the heart doth one believe to righteousness, and with the mouth is confession made to salvation;

¹⁷ so then the faith is by a report, and the report through a saying of God,

⁹ but, according as it hath been written, `What eye did not see, and ear did not hear, and upon the heart of man came not up, what God did prepare for those loving Him—' ¹⁰ but to us did God reveal them through His Spirit, for the Spirit all things doth search, even the depths of God, ¹¹ for who of men hath known the things of the man, except the spirit of the man that is in him? so also the things of God no one hath known, except the Spirit of God. ¹² And we the spirit of the world did not receive, but the Spirit that is of God, that we may know the things conferred by God on us, ¹³ which things also we speak, not in words taught by human wisdom, but in those taught by the Holy Spirit, with spiritual things spiritual things comparing, ¹⁴ and the natural man doth not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for to him they are foolishness, and he is not able to know them, because spiritually they are discerned;

⁴⁵ so also it hath been written, `The first man Adam became a living creature,' the last Adam is for a life-giving spirit,

⁶ who also made us sufficient to be ministrants of a new covenant, not of letter, but of spirit; for the letter doth kill, and the spirit doth make alive. ⁷ and if the ministration of the death, in letters, engraved in stones, came in glory, so that the sons of Israel were not able to look stedfastly to the face of Moses, because of the glory of his face—which was being made useless, ⁸ how shall the ministration of the Spirit not be more in glory?

²⁵ if we may live in the Spirit, in the Spirit also we may walk;

¹⁵ for in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creation;

¹³ Because of this also, we—we do give thanks to God continually, that, having received the word of hearing from us of God, ye accepted, not the word of man, but as it is truly, the word of God, who also doth work in you who believe;

⁸ for the bodily exercise is unto little profit, and the piety is to all things profitable, a promise having of the life that now is, and of that which is coming;

¹² for the reckoning of God is living, and working, and sharp above every two-edged sword, and piercing unto the dividing asunder both of soul and spirit, of joints also and marrow, and a discerner of thoughts and intents of the heart;

⁹ with teachings manifold and strange be not carried about, for it is good that by grace the heart be confirmed, not with meats, in which they who were occupied were not profited;

¹⁸ having counselled, He did beget us with a word of truth, for our being a certain first-fruit of His creatures.

²³ being begotten again, not out of seed corruptible, but incorruptible, through a word of God—living and remaining—to the age;

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,

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,

² Thou—Thou hast known my sitting down, And my rising up, Thou hast attended to my thoughts from afar. ³ My path and my couch Thou hast fanned, And with all my ways hast been acquainted. ⁴ For there is not a word in my tongue, Lo, O Jehovah, Thou hast known it all!

⁴² but I have known you, that the love of God ye have not in yourselves.

⁶¹ And Jesus having known in himself that his disciples are murmuring about this, said to them, `Doth this stumble you?

⁷⁰ Jesus answered them, `Did not I choose you—the twelve? and of you—one is a devil. ⁷¹ And he spake of Judas, Simon's son, Iscariot, for he was about to deliver him up, being one of the twelve.

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;

³⁸ I—that which I have seen with my Father do speak, and ye, therefore, that which ye have seen with your father—ye do.' ³⁹ They answered and said to him, `Our father is Abraham;' Jesus saith to them, `If children of Abraham ye were, the works of Abraham ye were doing; ⁴⁰ and now, ye seek to kill me—a man who hath spoken to you the truth I heard from God; this Abraham did not; ⁴¹ ye do the works of your father.' They said, therefore, to him, `We of whoredom have not been born; one Father we have—God;' <sup>42</sup> Jesus then said to them, `If God were your father, ye were loving me, for I came forth from God, and am come; for neither have I come of myself, but He sent me; ⁴³ wherefore do ye not know my speech? because ye are not able to hear my word. ⁴⁴ `Ye are of a father—the devil, and the desires of your father ye will to do; he was a man-slayer from the beginning, and in the truth he hath not stood, because there is no truth in him; when one may speak the falsehood, of his own he speaketh, because he is a liar—also his father. <sup>45</sup> `And because I say the truth, ye do not believe me.
⁴⁶ Who of you doth convict me of sin? and if I speak truth, wherefore do ye not believe me? ⁴⁷ he who is of God, the sayings of God he doth hear; because of this ye do not hear, because of God ye are not.'

²⁶ but ye do not believe, for ye are not of my sheep,

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.'

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. ¹⁹ `From this time I tell you, before its coming to pass, that, when it may come to pass, ye may believe that I am he; <sup>20</sup> 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.' <sup>21</sup> 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;'

¹⁸ `Known from the ages to God are all His works;

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;

²⁷ John answered and said, `A man is not able to receive anything, if it may not have been given him from the heaven;

¹⁶ and other sheep I have that are not of this fold, these also it behoveth me to bring, and my voice they will hear, and there shall become one flock—one shepherd.

²⁶ but ye do not believe, for ye are not of my sheep, ²⁷ according as I said to you: My sheep my voice do hear, and I know them, and they follow me,

³⁷ yet he having done so many signs before them, they were not believing in him, ³⁸ that the word of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he said, `Lord, who gave credence to our report? and the arm of the Lord—to whom was it revealed?' <sup>39</sup> Because of this they were not able to believe, that again Isaiah said, <sup>40</sup> `He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart, that they might not see with the eyes, and understand with the heart, and turn back, and I might heal them;' ⁴¹ these things said Isaiah, when he saw his glory, and spake of him.

⁸ for by grace ye are having been saved, through faith, and this not of you—of God the gift, ⁹ not of works, that no one may boast;

¹⁴ and exceedingly abound did the grace of our Lord, with faith and love that is in Christ Jesus:

²⁵ in meekness instructing those opposing—if perhaps God may give to them repentance to an acknowledging of the truth,

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;

¹⁶ Be not led astray, my brethren beloved; ¹⁷ every good giving, and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the lights, with whom is no variation, or shadow of turning; ¹⁸ having counselled, He did beget us with a word of truth, for our being a certain first-fruit of His creatures.

⁶ And those removing from after Jehovah, And who have not sought Jehovah, nor besought Him.

⁴⁰ for, as Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights, so shall the Son of Man be in the heart of the earth three days and three nights. ⁴¹ `Men of Nineveh shall stand up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it, for they reformed at the proclamation of Jonah, and lo, a greater than Jonah here! <sup>42</sup> `A queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it, for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and lo, a greater than Solomon here! ⁴³ `And, when the unclean spirit may go forth from the man, it doth walk through dry places seeking rest, and doth not find; ⁴⁴ then it saith, I will turn back to my house whence I came forth; and having come, it findeth it unoccupied, swept, and adorned: 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.'

²⁰ `And that sown on the rocky places, this is he who is hearing the word, and immediately with joy is receiving it, ²¹ and he hath not root in himself, but is temporary, and persecution or tribulation having happened because of the word, immediately he is stumbled.

²² And the young man, having heard the word, went away sorrowful, for he had many possessions;

⁸ and the very great multitude spread their own garments in the way, and others were cutting branches from the trees, and were strewing in the way, ⁹ and the multitudes who were going before, and who were following, were crying, saying, `Hosanna to the Son of David, blessed is he who is coming in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest.' <sup>10</sup> And he having entered into Jerusalem, all the city was moved, saying, `Who is this?' ¹¹ And the multitudes said, `This is Jesus the prophet, who is from Nazareth of Galilee.'

²⁰ And the chief priests and the elders did persuade the multitudes that they might ask for themselves Barabbas, and might destroy Jesus; ²¹ and the governor answering said to them, `Which of the two will ye that I shall release to you?' And they said, `Barabbas.' ²² Pilate saith to them, `What then shall I do with Jesus who is called Christ?' They all say to him, `Let be crucified!' ²³ And the governor said, `Why, what evil did he?' and they were crying out the more, saying, `Let be crucified.' 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;' <sup>25</sup> and all the people answering said, `His blood is upon us, and upon our children!'

⁶² and Jesus said unto him, `No one having put his hand on a plough, and looking back, is fit for the reign of God.'

¹⁵ thou hast known this, that they did turn from me—all those in Asia, of whom are Phygellus and Hermogenes;

¹⁰ for Demas forsook me, having loved the present age, and went on to Thessalonica, Crescens to Galatia, Titus to Dalmatia,

³⁸ and `the righteous by faith shall live,' and `if he may draw back, My soul hath no pleasure in him,'

²⁰ for, if having escaped from the pollutions of the world, in the acknowledging of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, and by these again being entangled, they have been overcome, become to them hath the last things worse than the first, ²¹ for it were better to them not to have acknowledged the way of the righteousness, than having acknowledged it, to turn back from the holy command delivered to them, ²² and happened to them hath that of the true similitude; `A dog did turn back upon his own vomit,' and, `A sow having bathed herself—to rolling in mire.'

¹⁵ and if wrong in your eyes to serve Jehovah—choose for you to-day whom ye do serve; —whether the gods whom your fathers served, which are beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorite in whose land ye are dwelling; and I and my house—we serve Jehovah.' ¹⁶ And the people answer and say, `Far be it from us to forsake Jehovah, to serve other gods; <sup>17</sup> for Jehovah our God is He who is bringing us and our fathers up out of the land of Egypt, out of a house of servants, and who hath done before our eyes these great signs, and doth keep us in all the way in which we have gone, and among all the peoples through whose midst we passed; <sup>18</sup> and Jehovah casteth out the whole of the peoples, even the Amorite inhabiting the land, from our presence; we also do serve Jehovah, for He is our God.' <sup>19</sup> And Joshua saith unto the people, `Ye are not able to serve Jehovah, for a God most holy He is; a zealous God He is; He doth not bear with your transgression and with your sins. ²⁰ When ye forsake Jehovah, and have served gods of a stranger, then He hath turned back and done evil to you, and consumed you, after that He hath done good to you.' ²¹ And the people saith unto Joshua, `No, but Jehovah we do serve.' <sup>22</sup> And Joshua saith unto the people, `Witnesses ye are against yourselves, that ye have chosen for you Jehovah to serve Him (and they say, `Witnesses!')

¹¹ And Naomi saith, `Turn back, my daughters; why do ye go with me? are there yet to me sons in my bowels that they have been to you for husbands? <sup>12</sup> Turn back, my daughters, go, for I am too aged to be to a husband; though I had said, There is for me hope, also, I have been to-night to a husband, and also I have borne sons: <sup>13</sup> for them do ye wait till that they grow up? for them do ye shut yourselves up, not to be to a husband? nay, my daughters, for more bitter to me than to you, for the hand of Jehovah hath gone out against me.' <sup>14</sup> And they lift up their voice, and weep again, and Orpah kisseth her mother-in-law, and Ruth hath cleaved to her. <sup>15</sup> And she saith, `Lo, thy sister-in-law hath turned back unto her people, and unto her god, turn thou back after thy sister-in-law.' ¹⁶ And Ruth saith, `Urge me not to leave thee—to turn back from after thee; for whither thou goest I go, and where thou lodgest I lodge; thy people is my people, and thy God my God. ¹⁷ Where thou diest I die, and there I am buried; thus doth Jehovah to me, and thus doth He add—for death itself doth part between me and thee.' ¹⁸ And she seeth that she is strengthening herself to go with her, and she ceaseth to speak unto her;

¹⁹ And the king saith unto Ittai the Gittite, `Why dost thou go—thou also—with us? turn back—and abide with the king, for thou art a stranger, and also an exile thou—to thy place. ²⁰ Yesterday is thy coming in, and to-day I move thee to go with us, and I am going on that which I am going! —turn back, and take back thy brethren with thee, —kindness and truth.'

² And of the twelve apostles the names are these: first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James of Zebedee, and John his brother;

²⁵ And there were going on with him great multitudes, and having turned, he said unto them, ²⁶ `If any one doth come unto me, and doth not hate his own father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brothers, and sisters, and yet even his own life, he is not able to be my disciple; <sup>27</sup> and whoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, is not able to be my disciple. <sup>28</sup> `For who of you, willing to build a tower, doth not first, having sat down, count the expence, whether he have the things for completing? ²⁹ lest that he having laid a foundation, and not being able to finish, all who are beholding may begin to mock him, ³⁰ saying—This man began to build, and was not able to finish. ³¹ `Or what king going on to engage with another king in war, doth not, having sat down, first consult if he be able with ten thousand to meet him who with twenty thousand is coming against him? <sup>32</sup> and if not so—he being yet a long way off—having sent an embassy, he doth ask the things for peace. <sup>33</sup> `So, then, every one of you who doth not take leave of all that he himself hath, is not able to be my disciple.

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

²⁵ Whom have I in the heavens? And with Thee none I have desired in earth.

¹² and there is not salvation in any other, for there is no other name under the heaven that hath been given among men, in which it behoveth us to be saved.'

²⁰ `Go on, and standing, speak in the temple to the people all the sayings of this life;'

³⁸ `This is he who was in the assembly in the wilderness, with the messenger who is speaking to him in the mount Sinai, and with our fathers who did receive the living oracles to give to us;

¹ A beginning of the good news of Jesus Christ, Son of God.

²⁴ saying, `Away! what—to us and to thee, Jesus the Nazarene? thou didst come to destroy us; I have known thee who thou art—the Holy One of God.'

²⁹ And he saith to them, `And ye—who do ye say me to be?' and Peter answering saith to him, `Thou art the Christ.'

²⁰ and he said to them, `And ye—who do ye say me to be?' and Peter answering said, `The Christ of God.'

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,)

⁴⁵ Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith to him, `Him of whom Moses wrote in the Law, and the prophets, we have found, Jesus the son of Joseph, who is from Nazareth;' <sup>46</sup> and Nathanael said to him, `Out of Nazareth is any good thing able to be?' Philip said to him, `Come and see.' <sup>47</sup> Jesus saw Nathanael coming unto him, and he saith concerning him, `Lo, truly an Israelite, in whom guile is not;' ⁴⁸ Nathanael saith to him, `Whence me dost thou know?' Jesus answered and said to him, `Before Philip's calling thee—thou being under the fig-tree—I saw thee.' ⁴⁹ Nathanael answered and saith to him, `Rabbi, thou art the Son of God, thou art the king of Israel.'

²⁷ believest thou this?' she saith to him, `Yes, sir, I have believed that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, who is coming to the world.'

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

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.'

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?'

³ concerning His Son, (who is come of the seed of David according to the flesh,

¹ And having called to him his twelve disciples, he gave to them power over unclean spirits, so as to be casting them out, and to be healing every sickness, and every malady. ² And of the twelve apostles the names are these: first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James of Zebedee, and John his brother; ³ Philip, and Bartholomew; Thomas, and Matthew the tax-gatherer; James of Alpheus, and Lebbeus who was surnamed Thaddeus; ⁴ Simon the Cananite, and Judas Iscariot, who did also deliver him up.

¹³ and when it became day, he called near his disciples, and having chosen from them twelve, whom also he named apostles, ¹⁴ (Simon, whom also he named Peter, and Andrew his brother, James and John, Philip and Bartholomew, ¹⁵ Matthew and Thomas, James of Alphaeus, and Simon called Zelotes, ¹⁶ Judas of James, and Judas Iscariot, who also became betrayer;)

⁴⁴ `Ye are of a father—the devil, and the desires of your father ye will to do; he was a man-slayer from the beginning, and in the truth he hath not stood, because there is no truth in him; when one may speak the falsehood, of his own he speaketh, because he is a liar—also his father.

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;'

²⁷ And after the morsel, then the Adversary entered into that one, Jesus, therefore, saith to him, `What thou dost—do quickly;'

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 because he was numbered among us, and did receive the share in this ministration,
