¹³ `And those upon the rock: They who, when they may hear, with joy do receive the word, and these have no root, who for a time believe, and in time of temptation fall away.

⁷ and other fell toward the thorns, and the thorns did come up, and choke it, and fruit it gave not;

¹⁸ `And these are they who toward the thorns are sown: these are they who are hearing the word, ¹⁹ and the anxieties of this age, and the deceitfulness of the riches, and the desires concerning the other things, entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful.

¹⁰ And the disciples having come near, said to him, `Wherefore in similes dost thou speak to them?'

¹⁸ `Ye, therefore, hear ye the simile of the sower:

³⁶ Then having let away the multitudes, Jesus came to the house, and his disciples came near to him, saying, `Explain to us the simile of the darnel of the field.'

¹⁵ And Peter answering said to him, `Explain to us this simile.'

¹⁰ And when he was alone, those about him, with the twelve, did ask him of the simile,

³⁴ and without a simile he was not speaking to them, and by themselves, to his disciples he was expounding all.

¹⁸ They have not known, nor do they understand, For He hath daubed their eyes from seeing, Their heart from acting wisely.

²¹ Hear ye, I pray you, this, O people, foolish and without heart, Eyes they have, and they see not, Ears they have, and they hear not.

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.

¹¹ And he answering said to them that—`To you it hath been given to know the secrets of the reign of the heavens, and to these it hath not been given, <sup>12</sup> for whoever hath, it shall be given to him, and he shall have overabundance, and whoever hath not, even that which he hath shall be taken from him. <sup>13</sup> `Because of this, in similes do I speak to them, because seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear, nor understand, ¹⁴ and fulfilled on them is the prophecy of Isaiah, that saith, With hearing ye shall hear, and ye shall not understand, and seeing ye shall see, and ye shall not perceive, ¹⁵ for made gross was the heart of this people, and with the ears they heard heavily, and their eyes they did close, lest they might see with the eyes, and with the ears might hear, and with the heart understand, and turn back, and I might heal them. ¹⁶ `And happy are your eyes because they see, and your ears because they hear, ¹⁷ for verily I say to you, that many prophets and righteous men did desire to see that which ye look on, and they did not see, and to hear that which ye hear, and they did not hear.

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.

¹¹ and he said to them, `To you it hath been given to know the secret of the reign of God, but to those who are without, in similes are all the things done;

²¹ In that hour was Jesus glad in the Spirit, and said, `I do confess to thee, Father, Lord of the heaven and of the earth, that Thou didst hide these things from wise men and understanding, and didst reveal them to babes; yes, Father, because so it became good pleasure before Thee. <sup>22</sup> `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 .' ²³ And having turned unto the disciples, he said, by themselves, `Happy the eyes that are perceiving what ye perceive; ²⁴ for I say to you, that many prophets and kings did wish to see what ye perceive, and did not see, and to hear what ye hear, and did not hear.'

⁴⁰ `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;'

²⁶ saying, Go on unto this people and say, With hearing ye shall hear, and ye shall not understand, and seeing ye shall see, and ye shall not perceive, ²⁷ for made gross was the heart of this people, and with the ears they heard heavily, and their eyes they did close, lest they may see with the eyes, and with the heart may understand, and be turned back, and I may heal them.

⁷ What then? What Israel doth seek after, this it did not obtain, and the chosen did obtain, and the rest were hardened, ⁸ according as it hath been written, `God gave to them a spirit of deep sleep, eyes not to see, and ears not to hear,' —unto this very day, <sup>9</sup> and David saith, `Let their table become for a snare, and for a trap, and for a stumbling-block, and for a recompense to them; ¹⁰ let their eyes be darkened—not to behold, and their back do Thou always bow down.'

²⁵ And to Him who is able to establish you, according to my good news, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the secret, in the times of the ages having been kept silent,

⁷ but we speak the hidden wisdom of God in a secret, that God foreordained before the ages to our glory, ⁸ which no one of the rulers of this age did know, for if they had known, the Lord of the glory they would not have crucified; 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.

¹¹ and all these doth work the one and the same Spirit, dividing to each severally as he intendeth.

³ that by revelation He made known to me the secret, according as I wrote before in few words — ⁴ in regard to which ye are able, reading it, to understand my knowledge in the secret of the Christ, ⁵ which in other generations was not made known to the sons of men, as it was now revealed to His holy apostles and prophets in the Spirit— ⁶ that the nations be fellow-heirs, and of the same body, and partakers of His promise in the Christ, through the good news, ⁷ of which I became a ministrant, according to the gift of the grace of God that was given to me, according to the working of His power; ⁸ to me—the less than the least of all the saints—was given this grace, among the nations to proclaim good news—the untraceable riches of the Christ, ⁹ and to cause all to see what is the fellowship of the secret that hath been hid from the ages in God, who the all things did create by Jesus Christ,

²⁶ the secret that hath been hid from the ages and from the generations, but now was manifested to his saints, ²⁷ to whom God did will to make known what is the riches of the glory of this secret among the nations—which is Christ in you, the hope of the glory, ²⁸ whom we proclaim, warning every man, and teaching every man, in all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus,

² that their hearts may be comforted, being united in love, and to all riches of the full assurance of the understanding, to the full knowledge of the secret of the God and Father, and of the Christ,

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

¹⁰ concerning which salvation seek out and search out did prophets who concerning the grace toward you did prophecy, ¹¹ searching in regard to what or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ that was in them was manifesting, testifying beforehand the sufferings of Christ and the glory after these, ¹² to whom it was revealed, that not to themselves, but to us they were ministering these, which now were told to you (through those who did proclaim good news to you,) in the Holy Spirit sent from heaven, to which things messengers do desire to bend looking.

²⁰ To the law and to the testimony! If not, let them say after this manner, `That there is no dawn to it.'

¹⁴ He who is sowing doth sow the word; ¹⁵ and these are they by the way where the word is sown: and whenever they may hear, immediately cometh the Adversary, and he taketh away the word that hath been sown in their hearts. ¹⁶ `And these are they, in like manner, who on the rocky ground are sown: who, whenever they may hear the word, immediately with joy do receive it, <sup>17</sup> and have not root in themselves, but are temporary; afterward tribulation or persecution having come because of the word, immediately they are stumbled. <sup>18</sup> `And these are they who toward the thorns are sown: these are they who are hearing the word, ¹⁹ and the anxieties of this age, and the deceitfulness of the riches, and the desires concerning the other things, entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful. ²⁰ `And these are they who on the good ground have been sown: who do hear the word, and receive, and do bear fruit, one thirty-fold, and one sixty, and one an hundred.'

⁶ I planted, Apollos watered, but God was giving growth; ⁷ so that neither is he who is planting anything, nor he who is watering, but He who is giving growth—God;

⁹ for of God we are fellow-workmen; God's tillage, God's building ye are. ¹⁰ According to the grace of God that was given to me, as a wise master-builder, a foundation I have laid, and another doth build on it,
¹¹ for other foundation no one is able to lay except that which is laid, which is Jesus the Christ; ¹² and if any one doth build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw—

²¹ wherefore having put aside all filthiness and superabundance of evil, in meekness be receiving the engrafted word, that is able to save your souls;

²³ being begotten again, not out of seed corruptible, but incorruptible, through a word of God—living and remaining—to the age;
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, ²⁵ and the saying of the Lord doth remain—to the age; and this is the saying that was proclaimed good news to you.

²⁴ Because I have called, and ye refuse, I stretched out my hand, and none is attending, ²⁵ And ye slight all my counsel, And my reproof ye have not desired. ²⁶ I also in your calamity do laugh, I deride when your fear cometh,

²⁹ Because that they have hated knowledge, And the fear of Jehovah have not chosen.

⁵ Get wisdom, get understanding, Do not forget, nor turn away From the sayings of my mouth.

¹¹ And ye are those forsaking Jehovah, Who are forgetting My holy mountain, Who are setting in array for Gad a table, And who are filling for Meni a mixture.

⁵ `The sower went forth to sow his seed, and in his sowing some indeed fell beside the way, and it was trodden down, and the fowls of the heaven did devour it.

⁹ him, whose presence is according to the working of the Adversary, in all power, and signs, and lying wonders, ¹⁰ and in all deceitfulness of the unrighteousness in those perishing, because the love of the truth they did not receive for their being saved, ¹¹ and because of this shall God send to them a working of delusion, for their believing the lie, ¹² that they may be judged—all who did not believe the truth, but were well pleased in the unrighteousness.
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;

⁹ and the great dragon was cast forth—the old serpent, who is called `Devil,' and `the Adversary,' who is leading astray the whole world—he was cast forth to the earth, and his messengers were cast forth with him.

²⁸ But ye say, `Why do we pursue after him?' And the root of the matter hath been found in me.

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.

³ A man is not established by wickedness, And the root of the righteous is not moved.

¹² The wicked hath desired the net of evil doers, And the root of the righteous giveth.

² Seeing—Me day by day they seek, And the knowledge of My ways they desire, As a nation that righteousness hath done, And the judgment of its God hath not forsaken, They ask of me judgments of righteousness, The drawing near of God they desire:

³² And lo, thou art to them as a singer of doting loves, A pleasant voice, and playing well on an instrument, And they have heard thy words, and they are not doing them.

⁴ What do I do to thee, O Ephraim? What do I do to thee, O Judah? Your goodness is as a cloud of the morning, And as dew rising early—going.

²⁰ for Herod was fearing John, knowing him a man righteous and holy, and was keeping watch over him, and having heard him, was doing many things, and hearing him gladly.

³¹ And the Lord said, `Simon, Simon, lo, the Adversary did ask you for himself to sift as the wheat, ³² and I besought for thee, that thy faith may not fail; and thou, when thou didst turn, strengthen thy brethren.'

²³ And as he was in Jerusalem, in the passover, in the feast, many believed in his name, beholding his signs that he was doing; 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.

³⁵ he was the burning and shining lamp, and ye did will to be glad, for an hour, in his light.

³⁰ As he is speaking these things, many believed in him;
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, ³² and the truth shall make you free.'

⁴² Still, however, also out of the rulers did many believe in him, but because of the Pharisees they were not confessing, that they might not be put out of the synagogue, ⁴³ for they loved the glory of men more than the glory of God.

² every branch in me not bearing fruit, He doth take it away, and every one bearing fruit, He doth cleanse by pruning it, that it may bear more fruit;

⁶ if any one may not remain in me, he was cast forth without as the branch, and was withered, and they gather them, and cast to fire, and they are burned;

¹³ and Simon also himself did believe, and, having been baptized, he was continuing with Philip, beholding also signs and mighty acts being done, he was amazed.
¹⁴ And the apostles in Jerusalem having heard that Samaria hath received the word of God, did send unto them Peter and John, ¹⁵ who having come down did pray concerning them, that they may receive the Holy Spirit, — ¹⁶ for as yet he was fallen upon none of them, and only they have been baptized—to the name of the Lord Jesus; ¹⁷ then were they laying hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit. 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; ²² reform, therefore, from this thy wickedness, and beseech God, if then the purpose of thy heart may be forgiven thee, ²³ for in the gall of bitterness, and bond of unrighteousness, I perceive thee being.'

² and if I have prophecy, and know all the secrets, and all the knowledge, and if I have all the faith, so as to remove mountains, and have not love, I am nothing;

² through which also ye are being saved, in what words I proclaimed good news to you, if ye hold fast, except ye did believe in vain,

¹ O thoughtless Galatians, who did bewitch you, not to obey the truth—before whose eyes Jesus Christ was described before among you crucified?

⁴ so many things did ye suffer in vain! if, indeed, even in vain.

¹⁵ what then was your happiness? for I testify to you, that if possible, your eyes having plucked out, ye would have given to me; ¹⁶ so that your enemy have I become, being true to you?
¹⁷ they are zealous for you—yet not well, but they wish to shut us out, that for them ye may be zealous; ¹⁸ and it is good to be zealously regarded, in what is good, at all times, and not only in my being present with you;
¹⁹ my little children, of whom again I travail in birth, till Christ may be formed in you, ²⁰ and I was wishing to be present with you now, and to change my voice, because I am in doubt about you.

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

²³ if also ye remain in the faith, being founded and settled, and not moved away from the hope of the good news, which ye heard, which was preached in all the creation that is under the heaven, of which I became—I Paul—a ministrant.

⁷ being rooted and built up in him, and confirmed in the faith, as ye were taught—abounding in it in thanksgiving.

⁵ because of this also, I, no longer forbearing, did send to know your faith, lest he who is tempting did tempt you, and in vain might be our labour.

¹⁹ having faith and a good conscience, which certain having thrust away, concerning the faith did make shipwreck,

¹⁸ who concerning the truth did swerve, saying the rising again to have already been, and do overthrow the faith of some;
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.'

³⁹ and we are not of those drawing back to destruction, but of those believing to a preserving of soul.

²⁶ for as the body apart from the spirit is dead, so also the faith apart from the works is dead.

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,

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.'

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.

¹² These are in your love-feasts craggy rocks; feasting together with you, without fear shepherding themselves; clouds without water, by winds carried about; trees autumnal, without fruit, twice dead, rooted up;

²⁴ `None is able to serve two lords, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will hold to the one, and despise the other; ye are not able to serve God and Mammon.
<sup>25</sup> `Because of this I say to you, be not anxious for your life, what ye may eat, and what ye may drink, nor for your body, what ye may put on. Is not the life more than the nourishment, and the body than the clothing?

¹⁹ and the anxieties of this age, and the deceitfulness of the riches, and the desires concerning the other things, entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful.

⁷ `And other fell amidst the thorns, and the thorns having sprung up with it, did choke it.

⁶ And he spake this simile: `A certain one had a fig-tree planted in his vineyard, and he came seeking fruit in it, and he did not find; <sup>7</sup> and he said unto the vine-dresser, Lo, three years I come seeking fruit in this fig-tree, and do not find, cut it off, why also the ground doth it render useless? <sup>8</sup> `And he answering saith to him, Sir, suffer it also this year, till that I may dig about it, and cast in dung; ⁹ and if indeed it may bear fruit—;and if not so, thereafter thou shalt cut it off.'

¹³ `No domestic is able to serve two lords, for either the one he will hate, and the other he will love; or one he will hold to, and of the other he will be heedless; ye are not able to serve God and mammon.'

²⁶ `And, as it came to pass in the days of Noah, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of Man; <sup>27</sup> they were eating, they were drinking, they were marrying, they were given in marriage, till the day that Noah entered into the ark, and the deluge came, and destroyed all; <sup>28</sup> in like manner also, as it came to pass in the days of Lot; they were eating, they were drinking, they were buying, they were selling, they were planting, they were building; <sup>29</sup> and on the day Lot went forth from Sodom, He rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed all. <sup>30</sup> `According to these things it shall be, in the day the Son of Man is revealed;

²⁴ And Jesus having seen him become very sorrowful, said, `How hardly shall those having riches enter into the reign of God! ²⁵ for it is easier for a camel through the eye of a needle to enter, than for a rich man into the reign of God to enter.'

⁹ and those wishing to be rich, do fall into temptation and a snare, and many desires, foolish and hurtful, that sink men into ruin and destruction, ¹⁰ for a root of all the evils is the love of money, which certain longing for did go astray from the faith, and themselves did pierce through with many sorrows;

¹⁷ Those rich in the present age charge thou not to be high-minded, nor to hope in the uncertainty of riches, but in the living God, who is giving to us all things richly for enjoyment; —

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

¹⁵ Love not ye the world, nor the things in the world; if any one doth love the world, the love of the Father is not in him, ¹⁶ because all that is in the world—the desire of the flesh, and the desire of the eyes, and the ostentation of the life—is not of the Father, but of the world, ¹⁷ and the world doth pass away, and the desire of it, and he who is doing the will of God, he doth remain—to the age.

⁶ `And Jehovah thy God hath circumcised thy heart, and the heart of thy seed, to love Jehovah thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, for the sake of thy life;

¹¹ On His step hath my foot laid hold, His way I have kept, and turn not aside, ¹² The command of His lips, and I depart not. Above my allotted portion I have laid up The sayings of His mouth.

¹ O the happiness of that one, who Hath not walked in the counsel of the wicked. And in the way of sinners hath not stood, And in the seat of scorners hath not sat; ² But—in the law of Jehovah is his delight, And in His law he doth meditate by day and by night: ³ And he hath been as a tree, Planted by rivulets of water, That giveth its fruit in its season, And its leaf doth not wither, And all that he doth he causeth to prosper.

¹⁰ A clean heart prepare for me, O God, And a right spirit renew within me.

¹¹ In my heart I have hid Thy saying, That I sin not before Thee.

¹²⁷ Therefore I have loved Thy commands Above gold—even fine gold. ¹²⁸ Therefore all my appointments I have declared wholly right, Every path of falsehood I have hated!
¹²⁹ Pe. Wonderful are Thy testimonies, Therefore hath my soul kept them.

¹ My son! my law forget not, And my commands let thy heart keep,

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.

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.

²⁹ And come in have the Chaldeans who are fighting against this city, and they have set this city on fire, and have burned it, and the houses on whose roofs they made perfume to Baal, and poured out libations to other gods, so as to provoke Me to anger.

²⁶ And I have given to you a new heart, And a new spirit I give in your midst, And I have turned aside the heart of stone out of your flesh, And I have given to you a heart of flesh. ²⁷ And My Spirit I give in your midst, And I have done this, so that in My statutes ye walk, And My judgments ye keep, and have done them.

¹³ but he who did endure to the end, he shall be saved;

⁴⁵ `The good man out of the good treasure of his heart doth bring forth that which is good; and the evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart doth bring forth that which is evil; for out of the abounding of the heart doth his mouth speak.

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

¹⁵ `If ye love me, my commands keep,

²¹ he who is having my commands, and is keeping them, that one it is who is loving me, and he who is loving me shall be loved by my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.' ²² Judas saith to him, (not the Iscariot), `Sir, what hath come to pass, that to us thou are about to manifest thyself, and not to the world?' <sup>23</sup> Jesus answered and said to him, `If any one may love me, my word he will keep, and my Father will love him, and unto him we will come, and abode with him we will make; ²⁴ he who is not loving me, my words doth not keep; and the word that ye hear is not mine, but the Father's who sent me.

¹⁰ if my commandments ye may keep, ye shall remain in my love, according as I the commands of my Father have kept, and do remain in His love;

⁷ to those, indeed, who in continuance of a good work, do seek glory, and honour, and incorruptibility—life age-during;

²² And now, having been freed from the sin, and having become servants to God, ye have your fruit—to sanctification, and the end life age-during;

⁴ So that, my brethren, ye also were made dead to the law through the body of the Christ, for your becoming another's, who out of the dead was raised up, that we might bear fruit to God;

¹⁸ for I have known that there doth not dwell in me, that is, in my flesh, good: for to will is present with me, and to work that which is right I do not find, ¹⁹ the circumcision is nothing, and the uncircumcision is nothing—but a keeping of the commands of God.

²² And the fruit of the Spirit is: Love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, faith, ²³ meekness, temperance: against such there is no law; ²⁴ and those who are Christ's, the flesh did crucify with the affections, and the desires; ²⁵ if we may live in the Spirit, in the Spirit also we may walk; ²⁶ let us not become vain-glorious—one another provoking, one another envying!

⁸ for by grace ye are having been saved, through faith, and this not of you—of God the gift,

¹¹ being filled with the fruit of righteousness, that is through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.

¹³ brethren, I do not reckon myself to have laid hold; and one thing—the things behind indeed forgetting, and to the things before stretching forth— ¹⁴ to the mark I pursue for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
¹⁵ As many, therefore, as are perfect—let us think this, and if in anything ye think otherwise, this also shall God reveal to you,

⁶ which is present to you, as also in all the world, and is bearing fruit, as also in you, from the day in which ye heard, and knew the grace of God in truth;

¹¹ and we desire each one of you the same diligence to shew, unto the full assurance of the hope unto the end, ¹² that ye may not become slothful, but followers of those who through faith and patient endurance are inheriting the promises.

³⁶ for of patience ye have need, that the will of God having done, ye may receive the promise,

⁴ and let the endurance have a perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire—in nothing lacking;

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.
¹⁹ So then, my brethren beloved, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger,

²² and become ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves, ²³ because, if any one is a hearer of the word and not a doer, this one hath been like to a man viewing his natural face in a mirror, ²⁴ for he did view himself, and hath gone away, and immediately he did forget of what kind he was; ²⁵ and he who did look into the perfect law—that of liberty, and did continue there, this one—not a forgetful hearer becoming, but a doer of work—this one shall be happy in his doing.

⁷ Be patient, then, brethren, till the presence of the Lord; lo, the husbandman doth expect the precious fruit of the earth, being patient for it, till he may receive rain—early and latter; ⁸ be patient, ye also; establish your hearts, because the presence of the Lord hath drawn nigh;

¹ Having put aside, then, all evil, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envyings, and all evil speakings, ² as new-born babes the word's pure milk desire ye, that in it ye may grow, ³ and in this we know that we have known him, if his commands we may keep;

¹⁵ nor do they light a lamp, and put it under the measure, but on the lamp-stand, and it shineth to all those in the house; ¹⁶ so let your light shine before men, that they may see your good works, and may glorify your Father who is in the heavens.

²¹ And he said to them, `Doth the lamp come that under the measure it may be put, or under the couch—not that it may be put on the lamp-stand? ²² for there is not anything hid that may not be manifested, nor was anything kept hid but that it may come to light.

³³ `And no one having lighted a lamp, doth put it in a secret place, nor under the measure, but on the lamp-stand, that those coming in may behold the light.

¹⁸ to open their eyes, to turn them from darkness to light, and from the authority of the Adversary unto God, for their receiving forgiveness of sins, and a lot among those having been sanctified, by faith that is toward me.

¹⁵ that ye may become blameless and harmless, children of God, unblemished in the midst of a generation crooked and perverse, among whom ye do appear as luminaries in the world, ¹⁶ the word of life holding forth, for rejoicing to me in regard to a day of Christ, that not in vain did I run, nor in vain did I labour;

²⁰ the secret of the seven stars that thou hast seen upon my right hand, and the seven golden lamp-stands: the seven stars are messengers of the seven assemblies, and the seven lamp-stands that thou hast seen are seven assemblies.

⁴ these are the two olive trees, and the two lamp-stands that before the God of the earth do stand;

¹⁴ For every work doth God bring into judgment, with every hidden thing, whether good or bad.'

²⁶ `Ye may not, therefore, fear them, for there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed, and hid, that shall not be known;

²² for there is not anything hid that may not be manifested, nor was anything kept hid but that it may come to light.

² and there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known; ³ because whatever in the darkness ye said, in the light shall be heard: and what to the ear ye spake in the inner-chambers, shall be proclaimed upon the house-tops.

⁵ so, then, nothing before the time judge ye, till the Lord may come, who will both bring to light the hidden things of the darkness, and will manifest the counsels of the hearts, and then the praise shall come to each from God.

⁴⁶ and saith unto them, `Set your heart to all the words which I am testifying against you to-day, that ye command your sons to observe to do all the words of this law, 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.'

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.

¹² There is a way—right before a man, And its latter end are ways of death.

²² Many will say to me in that day, Lord, lord, have we not in thy name prophesied? and in thy name cast out demons? and in thy name done many mighty things? ²³ and then I will acknowledge to them, that—I never knew you, depart from me ye who are working lawlessness.

¹² for whoever hath, it shall be given to him, and he shall have overabundance, and whoever hath not, even that which he hath shall be taken from him.

²⁹ for to every one having shall be given, and he shall have overabundance, and from him who is not having, even that which he hath shall be taken from him;

²³ If any hath ears to hear—let him hear.' ²⁴ And he said to them, `Take heed what ye hear; in what measure ye measure, it shall be measured to you; and to you who hear it shall be added; ²⁵ for whoever may have, there shall be given to him, and whoever hath not, also that which he hath shall be taken from him.'

¹⁴ `And when ye may see the abomination of the desolation, that was spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, (whoever is reading let him understand), then those in Judea, let them flee to the mountains;

⁴⁴ `Lay ye to your ears these words, for the Son of Man is about to be delivered up to the hands of men.'

²⁰ `And God said to him, Unthinking one! this night thy soul they shall require from thee, and what things thou didst prepare—to whom shall they be? ²¹ so is he who is treasuring up to himself, and is not rich toward God.'

² and having called him, he said to him, What is this I hear about thee? render the account of thy stewardship, for thou mayest not any longer be steward. ³ `And the steward said in himself, What shall I do, because my lord doth take away the stewardship from me? to dig I am not able, to beg I am ashamed: — ⁴ I have known what I shall do, that, when I may be removed from the stewardship, they may receive me to their houses.

¹⁹ `And—a certain man was rich, and was clothed in purple and fine linen, making merry sumptuously every day, <sup>20</sup> and there was a certain poor man, by name Lazarus, who was laid at his porch, full of sores, <sup>21</sup> and desiring to be filled from the crumbs that are falling from the table of the rich man; yea, also the dogs, coming, were licking his sores. <sup>22</sup> `And it came to pass, that the poor man died, and that he was carried away by the messengers to the bosom of Abraham—and the rich man also died, and was buried; ²³ and in the hades having lifted up his eyes, being in torments, he doth see Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom, ²⁴ and having cried, he said, Father Abraham, deal kindly with me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and may cool my tongue, because I am distressed in this flame. ²⁵ `And Abraham said, Child, remember that thou did receive—thou—thy good things in thy life, and Lazarus in like manner the evil things, and now he is comforted, and thou art distressed;

²⁶ for I say to you, that to every one having shall be given, and from him not having, also what he hath shall be taken from him,

³³ at once, therefore, I sent to thee; thou also didst do well, having come; now, therefore, are we all before God present to hear all things that have been commanded thee by God.'

¹¹ and these were more noble than those in Thessalonica, they received the word with all readiness of mind, every day examining the Writings whether those things were so;

³ For I say, through the grace that was given to me, to every one who is among you, not to think above what it behoveth to think; but to think so as to think wisely, as to each God did deal a measure of faith,

¹⁸ Let no one deceive himself; if any one doth seem to be wise among you in this age—let him become a fool, that he may become wise,

² and if any one doth think to know anything, he hath not yet known anything according as it behoveth him to know;

¹ If with the tongues of men and of messengers I speak, and have not love, I have become brass sounding, or a cymbal tinkling; ² and if I have prophecy, and know all the secrets, and all the knowledge, and if I have all the faith, so as to remove mountains, and have not love, I am nothing; ³ and if I give away to feed others all my goods, and if I give up my body that I may be burned, and have not love, I am profited nothing.

³⁷ if any one doth think to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him acknowledge the things that I write to you—that of the Lord they are commands;

⁴ though I also have cause of trust in flesh. If any other one doth think to have trust in flesh, I more;

¹⁹ So then, my brethren beloved, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger, ²⁰ for the wrath of a man the righteousness of God doth not work; ²¹ wherefore having put aside all filthiness and superabundance of evil, in meekness be receiving the engrafted word, that is able to save your souls; ²² and become ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves, ²³ because, if any one is a hearer of the word and not a doer, this one hath been like to a man viewing his natural face in a mirror, ²⁴ for he did view himself, and hath gone away, and immediately he did forget of what kind he was; ²⁵ and he who did look into the perfect law—that of liberty, and did continue there, this one—not a forgetful hearer becoming, but a doer of work—this one shall be happy in his doing. ²⁶ If any one doth think to be religious among you, not bridling his tongue, but deceiving his heart, of this one vain is the religion;

⁴⁶ And while he was yet speaking to the multitudes, lo, his mother and brethren had stood without, seeking to speak to him, ⁴⁷ and one said to him, `Lo, thy mother and thy brethren do stand without, seeking to speak to thee.' <sup>48</sup> And he answering said to him who spake to him, `Who is my mother? and who are my brethren?' ⁴⁹ And having stretched forth his hand toward his disciples, he said, `Lo, my mother and my brethren! ⁵⁰ for whoever may do the will of my Father who is in the heavens, he is my brother, and sister, and mother.'

²¹ and his friends having heard, went forth to lay hold on him, for they said that he was beside himself,

³¹ Then come do his brethren and mother, and standing without, they sent unto him, calling him, ³² and a multitude was sitting about him, and they said to him, `Lo, thy mother and thy brethren without do seek thee.' <sup>33</sup> And he answered them, saying, `Who is my mother, or my brethren?' ³⁴ And having looked round in a circle to those sitting about him, he saith, `Lo, my mother and my brethren! ³⁵ for whoever may do the will of God, he is my brother, and my sister, and mother.'

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.

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; <sup>4</sup> for no one in secret doth anything, and himself seeketh to be in public; if thou dost these things—manifest thyself to the world;' <sup>5</sup> for not even were his brethren believing in him. <sup>6</sup> Jesus, therefore, saith to them, `My time is not yet present, but your time is always ready;

⁵ have we not authority a sister—a wife—to lead about, as also the other apostles, and the brethren of the Lord, and Cephas?

¹⁹ and other of the apostles I did not see, except James, the brother of the Lord.

²¹ `Not every one who is saying to me Lord, lord, shall come into the reign of the heavens; but he who is doing the will of my Father who is in the heavens. <sup>22</sup> Many will say to me in that day, Lord, lord, have we not in thy name prophesied? and in thy name cast out demons? and in thy name done many mighty things? <sup>23</sup> and then I will acknowledge to them, that—I never knew you, depart from me ye who are working lawlessness. <sup>24</sup> `Therefore, every one who doth hear of me these words, and doth do them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house upon the rock; ²⁵ and the rain did descend, and the streams came, and the winds blew, and they beat on that house, and it fell not, for it had been founded on the rock. ²⁶ `And every one who is hearing of me these words, and is not doing them, shall be likened to a foolish man who built his house upon the sand;

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.'

⁴⁵ `Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say to you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of these, the least, ye did it not to me.

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

²⁷ And it came to pass, in his saying these things, a certain woman having lifted up the voice out of the multitude, said to him, `Happy the womb that carried thee, and the paps that thou didst suck!' <sup>28</sup> And he said, `Yea, rather, happy those hearing the word of God, and keeping it!'

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.'

¹⁷ if these things ye have known, happy are ye, if ye may do them;

¹⁴ ye are my friends, if ye may do whatever I command you; ¹⁵ no more do I call you servants, because the servant hath not known what his lord doth, and you I have called friends, because all things that I heard from my Father, I did make known to you.

¹⁷ Jesus saith to her, `Be not touching me, for I have not yet ascended unto my Father; and be going on to my brethren, and say to them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father, and to my God, and to your God.'

¹⁶ So that we henceforth have known no one according to the flesh, and even if we have known Christ according to the flesh, yet now we know him no more;

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

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

²² and become ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves,

²⁹ if ye know that he is righteous, know ye that every one doing the righteousness, of him hath been begotten.

²² and whatever we may ask, we receive from Him, because His commands we keep, and the things pleasing before Him we do,
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,

¹¹ Beloved, be not thou following that which is evil, but that which is good; he who is doing good, of God he is, and he who is doing evil hath not seen God;

¹⁸ And Jesus having seen great multitudes about him, did command to depart to the other side;

²³ And when he entered into the boat his disciples did follow him, ²⁴ and lo, a great tempest arose in the sea, so that the boat was being covered by the waves, but he was sleeping, ²⁵ and his disciples having come to him, awoke him, saying, `Sir, save us; we are perishing.' <sup>26</sup> And he saith to them, `Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith?' Then having risen, he rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was a great calm; ²⁷ and the men wondered, saying, `What kind—is this, that even the wind and the sea do obey him?'

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;

³⁵ And he saith to them on that day, evening having come, `We may pass over to the other side;' <sup>36</sup> and having let away the multitude, they take him up as he was in the boat, and other little boats also were with him. <sup>37</sup> And there cometh a great storm of wind, and the waves were beating on the boat, so that it is now being filled, <sup>38</sup> and he himself was upon the stern, upon the pillow sleeping, and they wake him up, and say to him, `Teacher, art thou not caring that we perish?' ³⁹ And having waked up, he rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, `Peace, be stilled;' and the wind did lull, and there was a great calm: <sup>40</sup> and he said to them, `Why are ye so fearful? how have ye not faith?' ⁴¹ and they feared a great fear, and said one to another, `Who, then, is this, that even the wind and the sea do obey him?'

²¹ And Jesus having passed over in the boat again to the other side, there was gathered a great multitude to him, and he was near the sea,

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,

¹³ And having left them, having entered again into the boat, he went away to the other side;

¹ And it came to pass, in the multitude pressing on him to hear the word of God, that he was standing beside the lake of Gennesaret,

²³ and as they are sailing he fell deeply asleep, and there came down a storm of wind to the lake, and they were filling, and were in peril.

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

²³ Stir up—why dost Thou sleep, O Lord? Awake, cast us not off for ever.

³ Floods have lifted up, O Jehovah, Floods have lifted up their voice, Floods lift up their breakers. ⁴ Than the voices of many mighty waters, Breakers of a sea, mighty on high is Jehovah,

²³ Those going down to the sea in ships, Doing business in many waters, ²⁴ They have seen the works of Jehovah, And His wonders in the deep. ²⁵ And He saith, and appointeth a tempest, And it lifteth up its billows, ²⁶ They go up to the heavens, they go down to the depths, Their soul in evil is melted. ²⁷ They reel to and fro, and move as a drunkard, And all their wisdom is swallowed up. ²⁸ And they cry to Jehovah in their adversity, And from their distresses He bringeth them out. ²⁹ He establisheth a whirlwind to a calm, And hushed are their billows. ³⁰ And they rejoice because they are quiet, And He leadeth them to the haven of their desire.

² Save for Jehovah—who hath been for us, In the rising up of man against us, ³ Then alive they had swallowed us up, In the burning of their anger against us, ⁴ Then the waters had overflowed us, The stream passed over our soul,

⁸ Fire and hail, snow and vapour, Whirlwind doing His word;

⁹ Awake, awake, put on strength, O arm of Jehovah, Awake, as in days of old, generations of the ages, Art not Thou it that is hewing down Rahab, Piercing a dragon! ¹⁰ Art not Thou it that is drying up a sea, Waters of a great deep? That hath made deep places of a sea A way for the passing of the redeemed?

¹¹ O afflicted, storm-tossed, not comforted, Lo, I am laying with cement thy stones, And have founded thee with sapphires,

²² And it came to pass, on one of the days, that he himself went into a boat with his disciples, and he said unto them, `We may go over to the other side of the lake;' and they set forth,

¹⁴ and not long after there arose against it a tempestuous wind, that is called Euroclydon, ¹⁵ and the ship being caught, and not being able to bear up against the wind, having given her up, we were borne on, ¹⁶ and having run under a certain little isle, called Clauda, we were hardly able to become masters of the boat, ¹⁷ which having taken up, they were using helps, undergirding the ship, and fearing lest they may fall on the quicksand, having let down the mast—so were borne on. ¹⁸ And we, being exceedingly tempest-tossed, the succeeding day they were making a clearing, ¹⁹ and on the third day with our own hands the tackling of the ship we cast out, ²⁰ and neither sun nor stars appearing for more days, and not a little tempest lying upon us, thenceforth all hope was taken away of our being saved.

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;

⁷ Restraining the noise of seas, the noise of their billows, And the multitude of the peoples.

¹ To the Overseer. —`On the Lilies,' by David. Save me, O God, for come have waters unto the soul. ² I have sunk in deep mire, And there is no standing, I have come into the depths of the waters, And a flood hath overflown me.

⁶ The abyss! as with clothing Thou hast covered it, Above hills do waters stand. ⁷ From Thy rebuke they flee, From the voice of Thy thunder haste away. ⁸ They go up hills—they go down valleys, Unto a place Thou hast founded for them. ⁹ A border Thou hast set, they pass not over, They turn not back to cover the earth.

²⁵ And He saith, and appointeth a tempest, And it lifteth up its billows, ²⁶ They go up to the heavens, they go down to the depths, Their soul in evil is melted. ²⁷ They reel to and fro, and move as a drunkard, And all their wisdom is swallowed up. ²⁸ And they cry to Jehovah in their adversity, And from their distresses He bringeth them out. ²⁹ He establisheth a whirlwind to a calm, And hushed are their billows.

³ Compassed me have cords of death, And straits of Sheol have found me, Distress and sorrow I find. ⁴ And in the name of Jehovah I call: I pray Thee, O Jehovah, deliver my soul,

⁴ Looking on the right hand—and seeing, And I have none recognizing; Perished hath refuge from me, There is none inquiring for my soul. ⁵ I have cried unto thee, O Jehovah, I have said, `Thou art my refuge, My portion in the land of the living.'

² Wherefore have I come, and there is no one? I called, and there is none answering, Hath My hand been at all short of redemption? And is there not in me power to deliver? Lo, by My rebuke I dry up a sea, I make rivers a wilderness, Their fish stinketh, for there is no water, And dieth with thirst.

²² Me do ye not fear, an affirmation of Jehovah? From My presence are ye not pained? Who hath made sand the border of the sea, A limit age-during, and it passeth not over it, They shake themselves, and they are not able, Yea, sounded have its billows, and they pass not over.

⁵⁴ Flowed have waters over my head, I have said, I have been cut off.
⁵⁵ I called Thy name, O Jehovah, from the lower pit. ⁵⁶ My voice Thou hast heard, Hide not Thine ear at my breathing—at my cry.

⁴ He is pushing against a sea, and drieth it up, Yea, all the floods He hath made dry, Languishing are Bashan and Carmel, Yea, the flower of Lebanon is languishing.

³⁰ but seeing the wind vehement, he was afraid, and having begun to sink, he cried out, saying, `Sir, save me.'

³⁹ and having stood over her, he rebuked the fever, and it left her, and presently, having risen, she was ministering to them.

⁵ and Simon answering said to him, `Master, through the whole night, having laboured, we have taken nothing, but at thy saying I will let down the net.'

² and also Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the marriage; ³ and wine having failed, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, `Wine they have not;' <sup>4</sup> Jesus saith to her, `What—to me and to thee, woman? not yet is mine hour come.' ⁵ His mother saith to the ministrants, `Whatever he may say to you—do.' ⁶ And there were there six water-jugs of stone, placed according to the purifying of the Jews, holding each two or three measures.

⁹ but we ourselves in ourselves the sentence of the death have had, that we may not be trusting on ourselves, but on God, who is raising the dead, ¹⁰ who out of so great a death did deliver us, and doth deliver, in whom we have hoped that even yet He will deliver;

⁹ And God saith, `Let the waters under the heavens be collected unto one place, and let the dry land be seen:' and it is so. <sup>10</sup> And God calleth to the dry land `Earth,' and to the collection of the waters He hath called `Seas;' and God seeth that it is good.

¹² Then speaketh Joshua to Jehovah in the day of Jehovah's giving up the Amorites before the sons of Israel, and he saith, before the eyes of Israel, `Sun—in Gibeon stand still; and moon—in the valley of Ajalon;' <sup>13</sup> and the sun standeth still, and the moon hath stood—till the nation taketh vengeance on its enemies; is it not written on the Book of the Upright, `and the sun standeth in the midst of the heavens, and hath not hasted to go in—as a perfect day?' ¹⁴ And there hath not been like that day before it or after it, for Jehovah's hearkening to the voice of a man; for Jehovah is fighting for Israel.

⁸ And He shutteth up with doors the sea, In its coming forth, from the womb it goeth out. ⁹ In My making a cloud its clothing, And thick darkness its swaddling band, ¹⁰ And I measure over it My statute, And place bar and doors,

²⁹ In His setting for the sea its limit, And the waters transgress not His command, In His decreeing the foundations of earth,

⁴ Who went up to heaven, and cometh down? Who hath gathered the wind in his fists? Who hath bound waters in a garment? Who established all ends of the earth? What is His name? and what His son's name? Surely thou knowest!

³⁰ `And if the herb of the field, that to-day is, and to-morrow is cast to the furnace, God doth so clothe—not much more you, O ye of little faith?

²⁶ And he saith to them, `Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith?' Then having risen, he rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was a great calm;

³¹ And immediately Jesus, having stretched forth the hand, laid hold of him, and saith to him, `Little faith! for what didst thou waver?'

²⁰ And Jesus said to them, `Through your want of faith; for verily I say to you, if ye may have faith as a grain of mustard, ye shall say to this mount, Remove hence to yonder place, and it shall remove, and nothing shall be impossible to you,

²⁸ and if the herbage in the field, that to-day is, and to-morrow into an oven is cast, God doth so clothe, how much more you—ye of little faith?

⁴⁰ Jesus saith to her, `Said I not to thee, that if thou mayest believe, thou shalt see the glory of God?'

²⁸ And he having come to the other side, to the region of the Gergesenes, there met him two demoniacs, coming forth out of the tombs, very fierce, so that no one was able to pass over by that way, ²⁹ and lo, they cried out, saying, `What—to us and to thee, Jesus, Son of God? didst thou come hither, before the time, to afflict us?' <sup>30</sup> And there was far off from them a herd of many swine feeding, <sup>31</sup> and the demons were calling on him, saying, `If thou dost cast us forth, permit us to go away to the herd of the swine;' ³² and he saith to them, `Go.' And having come forth, they went to the herd of the swine, and lo, the whole herd of the swine rushed down the steep, to the sea, and died in the waters, ³³ and those feeding did flee, and, having gone to the city, they declared all, and the matter of the demoniacs. ³⁴ And lo, all the city came forth to meet Jesus, and having seen him, they called on him that he might depart from their borders.

¹ And they came to the other side of the sea, to the region of the Gadarenes, ² and he having come forth out of the boat, immediately there met him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit, ³ who had his dwelling in the tombs, and not even with chains was any one able to bind him, ⁴ because that he many times with fetters and chains had been bound, and pulled in pieces by him had been the chains, and the fetters broken in pieces, and none was able to tame him, ⁵ and always, night and day, in the mountains, and in the tombs he was, crying and cutting himself with stones. ⁶ And, having seen Jesus from afar, he ran and bowed before him, ⁷ and having called with a loud voice, he said, `What—to me and to thee, Jesus, Son of God the Most High? I adjure thee by God, mayest thou not afflict me!' <sup>8</sup> (for he said to him, `Come forth, spirit unclean, out of the man,') ⁹ and he was questioning him, `What is thy name?' and he answered, saying, `Legion is my name, because we are many;' ¹⁰ and he was calling on him much, that he may not send them out of the region. ¹¹ And there was there, near the mountains, a great herd of swine feeding, ¹² and all the demons did call upon him, saying, `Send us to the swine, that into them we may enter;' <sup>13</sup> and immediately Jesus gave them leave, and having come forth, the unclean spirits did enter into the swine, and the herd did rush down the steep place to the sea—and they were about two thousand—and they were choked in the sea. <sup>14</sup> And those feeding the swine did flee, and told in the city, and in the fields, and they came forth to see what it is that hath been done; <sup>15</sup> and they come unto Jesus, and see the demoniac, sitting, and clothed, and right-minded—him having had the legion—and they were afraid; <sup>16</sup> and those having seen it, declared to them how it had come to pass to the demoniac, and about the swine; <sup>17</sup> and they began to call upon him to go away from their borders. <sup>18</sup> And he having gone into the boat, the demoniac was calling on him that he may be with him, <sup>19</sup> and Jesus did not suffer him, but saith to him, `Go away to thy house, unto thine own friends, and tell them how great things the Lord did to thee, and dealt kindly with thee; ²⁰ and he went away, and began to proclaim in the Decapolis how great things Jesus did to him, and all were wondering.

¹⁶ `And every one who cometh, on the face of the field, against the pierced of a sword, or against the dead, or against a bone of man, or against a grave, is unclean seven days;

²⁴ and he strippeth off—he also—his garments, and prophesieth—he also—before Samuel, and falleth down naked all that day and all the night; therefore they say, `Is Saul also among the prophets?'

⁴ Who are dwelling among sepulchres, And lodge in reserved places, Who are eating flesh of the sow, And a piece of abominable things—their vessels.

² and he having come forth out of the boat, immediately there met him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit, ³ who had his dwelling in the tombs, and not even with chains was any one able to bind him, ⁴ because that he many times with fetters and chains had been bound, and pulled in pieces by him had been the chains, and the fetters broken in pieces, and none was able to tame him, ⁵ and always, night and day, in the mountains, and in the tombs he was, crying and cutting himself with stones.

¹ In that day lay a charge doth Jehovah, With his sword—the sharp, and the great, and the strong, On leviathan—a fleeing serpent, And on leviathan—a crooked serpent, And He hath slain the dragon that is in the sea.

²⁹ and lo, they cried out, saying, `What—to us and to thee, Jesus, Son of God? didst thou come hither, before the time, to afflict us?'

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.' <sup>25</sup> And Jesus rebuked him, saying, `Be silenced, and come forth out of him,' ²⁶ and the unclean spirit having torn him, and having cried with a great voice, came forth out of him, ²⁷ and they were all amazed, so as to reason among themselves, saying, `What is this? what new teaching is this? that with authority also the unclean spirits he commandeth, and they obey him!'

⁶ And, having seen Jesus from afar, he ran and bowed before him, ⁷ and having called with a loud voice, he said, `What—to me and to thee, Jesus, Son of God the Most High? I adjure thee by God, mayest thou not afflict me!' <sup>8</sup> (for he said to him, `Come forth, spirit unclean, out of the man,')

³³ And in the synagogue was a man, having a spirit of an unclean demon, and he cried out with a great voice, ³⁴ saying, `Away, what—to us and to thee, Jesus, O Nazarene? thou didst come to destroy us; I have known thee who thou art—the Holy One of God.' <sup>35</sup> And Jesus did rebuke him, saying, `Be silenced, and come forth out of him;' and the demon having cast him into the midst, came forth from him, having hurt him nought; ³⁶ and amazement came upon all, and they were speaking together, with one another, saying, `What is this word, that with authority and power he doth command the unclean spirits, and they come forth?'

³⁷ And the whole multitude of the region of the Gadarenes round about asked him to go away from them, because with great fear they were pressed, and he having entered into the boat, did turn back. ³⁸ And the man from whom the demons had gone forth was beseeching of him to be with him, and Jesus sent him away, saying,

¹⁶ And it came to pass in our going on to prayer, a certain maid, having a spirit of Python, did meet us, who brought much employment to her masters by soothsaying, ¹⁷ she having followed Paul and us, was crying, saying, `These men are servants of the Most High God, who declare to us a way of salvation;' <sup>18</sup> and this she was doing for many days, but Paul having been grieved, and having turned, said to the spirit, `I command thee, in the name of Jesus Christ, to come forth from her;' and it came forth the same hour.

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

⁴ For if God messengers who sinned did not spare, but with chains of thick gloom, having cast them down to Tartarus, did deliver them to judgment, having been reserved,

⁸ he who is doing the sin, of the devil he is, because from the beginning the devil doth sin; for this was the Son of God manifested, that he may break up the works of the devil;

¹ And I saw a messenger coming down out of the heaven, having the key of the abyss, and a great chain over his hand, ² and he laid hold on the dragon, the old serpent, who is Devil and Adversary, and did bind him a thousand years, ³ and he cast him to the abyss, and did shut him up, and put a seal upon him, that he may not lead astray the nations any more, till the thousand years may be finished; and after these it behoveth him to be loosed a little time.

¹⁰ and the Devil, who is leading them astray, was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where are the beast and the false prophet, and they shall be tormented day and night—to the ages of the ages.

⁸ (for he said to him, `Come forth, spirit unclean, out of the man,')

²⁰ and they brought him unto him, and he having seen him, immediately the spirit tare him, and he, having fallen upon the earth, was wallowing—foaming. ²¹ And he questioned his father, `How long time is it since this came to him?' and he said, `From childhood, ²² and many times also it cast him into fire, and into water, that it might destroy him; but if thou art able to do anything, help us, having compassion on us.' ²³ And Jesus said to him, `If thou art able to believe! all things are possible to the one that is believing;' <sup>24</sup> and immediately the father of the child, having cried out, with tears said, `I believe, sir; be helping mine unbelief.' ²⁵ Jesus having seen that a multitude doth run together, rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it, `Spirit—dumb and deaf—I charge thee, come forth out of him, and no more thou mayest enter into him;' ²⁶ and having cried, and rent him much, it came forth, and he became as dead, so that many said that he was dead,

³⁹ and lo, a spirit doth take him, and suddenly he doth cry out, and it teareth him, with foaming, and it hardly departeth from him, bruising him,

⁴² and as he is yet coming near, the demon rent him, and tore him sore, and Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the youth, and gave him back to his father.

¹² so that even unto the ailing were brought from his body handkerchiefs or aprons, and the sicknesses departed from them; the evil spirits also went forth from them.
¹³ And certain of the wandering exorcist Jews, took upon them to name over those having the evil spirits the name of the Lord Jesus, saying, `We adjure you by Jesus, whom Paul doth preach;' <sup>14</sup> and there were certain—seven sons of Sceva, a Jew, a chief priest—who are doing this thing; <sup>15</sup> and the evil spirit, answering, said, `Jesus I know, and Paul I am acquainted with; and ye—who are ye?' ¹⁶ And the man, in whom was the evil spirit, leaping upon them, and having overcome them, prevailed against them, so that naked and wounded they did flee out of that house,

²⁵ in meekness instructing those opposing—if perhaps God may give to them repentance to an acknowledging of the truth, ²⁶ and they may awake out of the devil's snare, having been caught by him at his will.

⁵³ dost thou think that I am not able now to call upon my Father, and He will place beside me more than twelve legions of messengers?

⁹ and he was questioning him, `What is thy name?' and he answered, saying, `Legion is my name, because we are many;'

² and certain women, who were healed of evil spirits and infirmities, Mary who is called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone forth,

¹¹ The work of his hands Thou hast blessed, and his substance hath spread in the land, and yet, put forth, I pray Thee, Thy hand, and strike against anything that he hath—if not: to Thy face he doth bless Thee!'

⁵ Yet, put forth, I pray Thee, Thy hand, and strike unto his bone and unto his flesh—if not: unto Thy face he doth bless Thee!'

⁴¹ Then shall he say also to those on the left hand, Go ye from me, the cursed, to the fire, the age-during, that hath been prepared for the Devil and his messengers;

²⁸ and having seen Jesus, and having cried out, he fell before him, and with a loud voice, said, `What—to me and to thee, Jesus, Son of God Most High? I beseech thee, mayest thou not afflict me!'

¹⁰ that in the name of Jesus every knee may bow—of heavenlies, and earthlies, and what are under the earth— ¹¹ and every tongue may confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

¹ And the fifth messenger did sound, and I saw a star out of the heaven having fallen to the earth, and there was given to it the key of the pit of the abyss, ² and he did open the pit of the abyss, and there came up a smoke out of the pit as smoke of a great furnace, and darkened was the sun and the air, from the smoke of the pit.

¹¹ and they have over them a king—the messenger of the abyss—a name is to him in Hebrew, Abaddon, and in the Greek he hath a name, Apollyon.

⁷ `And when they may finish their testimony, the beast that is coming up out of the abyss shall make war with them, and overcome them, and kill them,

⁸ `The beast that thou didst see: it was, and it is not; and it is about to come up out of the abyss, and to go away to destruction, and wonder shall those dwelling upon the earth, whose names have not been written upon the scroll of the life from the foundation of the world, beholding the beast that was, and is not, although it is.

²⁰ and the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet who did the signs before him, in which he led astray those who did receive the mark of the beast, and those who did bow before his image; living they were cast—the two—to the lake of the fire, that is burning with brimstone;

¹⁴ and the death and the hades were cast to the lake of the fire—this is the second death; ¹⁵ and if any one was not found written in the scroll of the life, he was cast to the lake of the fire.

⁷ and the sow, though it is dividing the hoof, and cleaving the cleft of the hoof, yet the cud it bringeth not up—unclean it is to you.

²² and he saith, I go out, and have been a spirit of falsehood in the mouth of all his prophets; and He saith, Thou dost entice, and also thou art able; go out and do so.

¹⁰ Hast not Thou made a hedge for him, and for his house, and for all that he hath—round about?

¹² And Jehovah saith unto the Adversary, `Lo, all that he hath is in thy hand, only unto him put not forth thy hand.' And the Adversary goeth out from the presence of Jehovah.

⁶ And Jehovah saith unto the Adversary, `Lo, he is in thy hand; only his life take care of.'

¹¹ Once hath God spoken, twice I heard this, That `strength is with God.'

³ Whoso slaughtereth the ox smiteth a man, Whoso sacrificeth the lamb beheadeth a dog, Whoso is bringing up a present—The blood of a sow, Whoso is making mention of frankincense, Is blessing iniquity. Yea, they have fixed on their own ways, And in their abominations their soul hath delighted.

³⁰ And there was far off from them a herd of many swine feeding, ³¹ and the demons were calling on him, saying, `If thou dost cast us forth, permit us to go away to the herd of the swine;' <sup>32</sup> and he saith to them, `Go.' And having come forth, they went to the herd of the swine, and lo, the whole herd of the swine rushed down the steep, to the sea, and died in the waters, ³³ and those feeding did flee, and, having gone to the city, they declared all, and the matter of the demoniacs.

¹¹ And there was there, near the mountains, a great herd of swine feeding, ¹² and all the demons did call upon him, saying, `Send us to the swine, that into them we may enter;' ¹³ and immediately Jesus gave them leave, and having come forth, the unclean spirits did enter into the swine, and the herd did rush down the steep place to the sea—and they were about two thousand—and they were choked in the sea.

¹¹ Jesus answered, `Thou wouldest have no authority against me, if it were not having been given thee from above; because of this, he who is delivering me up to thee hath greater sin.'

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

⁷ And when the thousand years may be finished, the Adversary shall be loosed out of his prison,

²² And it came to pass, on one of the days, that he himself went into a boat with his disciples, and he said unto them, `We may go over to the other side of the lake;' and they set forth, ²³ and as they are sailing he fell deeply asleep, and there came down a storm of wind to the lake, and they were filling, and were in peril.

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.

⁸ Be sober, vigilant, because your opponent the devil, as a roaring lion, doth walk about, seeking whom he may swallow up,

³³ and those feeding did flee, and, having gone to the city, they declared all, and the matter of the demoniacs.

¹¹ And while they are going on, lo, certain of the watch having come to the city, told to the chief priests all the things that happened,

¹⁴ And those feeding the swine did flee, and told in the city, and in the fields, and they came forth to see what it is that hath been done;

¹⁶ And the man, in whom was the evil spirit, leaping upon them, and having overcome them, prevailed against them, so that naked and wounded they did flee out of that house, ¹⁷ and this became known to all, both Jews and Greeks, who are dwelling at Ephesus, and fear fell upon them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was being magnified,

²⁴ Is prey taken from the mighty? And the captive of the righteous delivered? ²⁵ For thus said Jehovah: Even the captive of the mighty is taken, And the prey of the terrible is delivered, And with thy striver I strive, and thy sons I save.

¹² Therefore I give a portion to him among the many, And with the mighty he apportioneth spoil, Because that he exposed to death his soul, And with transgressors he was numbered, And he the sin of many hath borne, And for transgressors he intercedeth.

¹⁵ and they come unto Jesus, and see the demoniac, sitting, and clothed, and right-minded—him having had the legion—and they were afraid;

⁴⁶ And it came to pass, after three days, they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the teachers, both hearing them and questioning them,

²⁷ and he having gone forth upon the land, there met him a certain man, out of the city, who had demons for a long time, and with a garment was not clothed, and in a house was not abiding, but in the tombs,

³⁹ and she had also a sister, called Mary, who also, having seated herself beside the feet of Jesus, was hearing the word,

¹⁷ `And having come to himself, he said, How many hirelings of my father have a superabundance of bread, and I here with hunger am perishing!

³ `I, indeed, am a man, a Jew, having been born in Tarsus of Cilicia, and brought up in this city at the feet of Gamaliel, having been taught according to the exactitude of a law of the fathers, being zealous of God, as all ye are to-day.

¹⁴ Seeing, then, the children have partaken of flesh and blood, he himself also in like manner did take part of the same, that through death he might destroy him having the power of death—that is, the devil— ¹⁵ and might deliver those, whoever, with fear of death, throughout all their life, were subjects of bondage,

²⁴ and his fame went forth to all Syria, and they brought to him all having ailments, pressed with manifold sicknesses and pains, and demoniacs, and lunatics, and paralytics, and he healed them.

²⁵ `And, now, why do we die? for consume us doth this great fire—if we add to hear the voice of Jehovah our God any more—then we have died.

²⁰ And the men of Beth-Shemesh say, `Who is able to stand before Jehovah, this holy God? and unto whom doth He go up from us?'

⁸ And it is displeasing to David, because that Jehovah hath broken forth a breach upon Uzzah, and one calleth that place Perez-Uzzah, unto this day; ⁹ and David feareth Jehovah on that day, and saith, `How doth the ark of Jehovah come in unto me?'

¹⁸ And she saith unto Elijah, `What—to me and to thee, O man of God? thou hast come unto me to cause mine iniquity to be remembered, and to put my son to death!'

¹⁴ And they say to God, `Turn aside from us, And the knowledge of Thy ways We have not desired. ¹⁵ What is the Mighty One that we serve Him? And what do we profit when we meet with Him?'

³⁴ And lo, all the city came forth to meet Jesus, and having seen him, they called on him that he might depart from their borders.

¹⁷ and they began to call upon him to go away from their borders.

⁸ And Simon Peter having seen, fell down at the knees of Jesus, saying, `Depart from me, because I am a sinful man, O lord;'

⁵ and as many as may not receive you, going forth from that city, even the dust from your feet shake off, for a testimony against them.'

⁵⁶ for the Son of Man did not come to destroy men's lives, but to save;' and they went on to another village.

¹⁰ `And into whatever city ye do enter, and they may not receive you, having gone forth to its broad places, say, ¹¹ And the dust that hath cleaved to us, from your city, we do wipe off against you, but this know ye, that the reign of God hath come nigh to you;

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

³⁹ and having come, they besought them, and having brought them forth, they were asking them to go forth from the city;

²⁵ and it hath been, when ye come in unto the land which Jehovah giveth to you, as He hath spoken, that ye have kept this service; ²⁶ and it hath come to pass when your sons say unto you, What is this service ye have? ²⁷ that ye have said, A sacrifice of passover it is to Jehovah, who passed over the houses of the sons of Israel in Egypt, in His smiting the Egyptians, and our houses He delivered.'

⁸ `And thou hast declared to thy son in that day, saying, `It is because of what Jehovah did to me, in my going out from Egypt, ⁹ and it hath been to thee for a sign on thy hand, and for a memorial between thine eyes, so that the law of Jehovah is in thy mouth, for by a strong hand hath Jehovah brought thee out from Egypt;

¹⁴ `And it hath been, when thy son asketh thee hereafter, saying, What is this? that thou hast said unto him, By strength of hand hath Jehovah brought us out from Egypt, from a house of servants; ¹⁵ yea, it cometh to pass, when Pharaoh hath been pained to send us away, that Jehovah doth slay every first-born in the land of Egypt, from the first-born of man even unto the first-born of beast; therefore I am sacrificing to Jehovah all opening a womb who are males, and every first-born of my sons I ransom; ¹⁶ and it hath been for a token on thy hand, and for frontlets between thine eyes, for by strength of hand hath Jehovah brought us out of Egypt.'

²⁰ `Jehovah thy God thou dost fear, Him thou dost serve, and to Him thou dost cleave, and by His name thou dost swear. ²¹ He is thy praise, and He is thy God, who hath done with thee these great and fearful things which thine eyes have seen:

⁴ One thing I asked of Jehovah—it I seek. My dwelling in the house of Jehovah, All the days of my life, To look on the pleasantness of Jehovah, And to inquire in His temple.

⁷ Thou art a hiding-place for me, From distress Thou dost keep me, With songs of deliverance dost compass me. Selah.

¹⁷ God, Thou hast taught me from my youth, And hitherto I declare Thy wonders. ¹⁸ And also unto old age and grey hairs, O God, forsake me not, Till I declare Thy strength to a generation, To every one that cometh Thy might.

³ That we have heard and do know, And our fathers have recounted to us. ⁴ We do not hide from their sons, To a later generation recounting praises of Jehovah, And His strength, and His wonders that He hath done. ⁵ And He raiseth up a testimony in Jacob, And a law hath placed in Israel, That He commanded our fathers, To make them known to their sons. ⁶ So that a later generation doth know, Sons who are born, do rise and recount to their sons,

²¹ They confess to Jehovah His kindness, And His wonders to the sons of men, ²² And they sacrifice sacrifices of thanksgiving, And recount His works with singing.

³¹ They confess to Jehovah His kindness, And His wonders to the sons of men, ³² And they exalt Him in the assembly of the people, And in the seat of the elders praise Him.

² Great are the works of Jehovah, Sought out by all desiring them. ³ Honourable and majestic is His work, And His righteousness is standing for ever. ⁴ A memorial He hath made of His wonders, Gracious and merciful is Jehovah.

¹² What do I return to Jehovah? All His benefits are upon me.

¹⁶ Cause it to come, O Jehovah, for I am Thy servant. I am Thy servant, son of Thy handmaid, Thou hast opened my bonds.

³ Great is Jehovah, and praised greatly, And of His greatness there is no searching. ⁴ Generation to generation praiseth Thy works, And Thy mighty acts they declare. ⁵ The honour—the glory of Thy majesty, And the matters of Thy wonders I declare. ⁶ And the strength of Thy fearful acts they tell, And Thy greatness I recount. ⁷ The memorial of the abundance of Thy goodness they send forth. And Thy righteousness they sing. ⁸ Gracious and merciful is Jehovah, Slow to anger, and great in kindness. ⁹ Good is Jehovah to all, And His mercies are over all His works.
¹⁰ Confess Thee O Jehovah, do all Thy works, And Thy saints do bless Thee. ¹¹ The honour of Thy kingdom they tell, And of Thy might they speak, ¹² To make known to sons of men His mighty acts, The honour of the majesty of His kingdom.

⁷ The kind acts of Jehovah I make mention of, The praises of Jehovah, According to all that Jehovah hath done for us, And the abundance of the goodness to the house of Israel, That He hath done for them, According to His mercies, And according to the abundance of His kind acts. ⁸ And He saith, Only My people they are, Sons—they lie not, and He is to them for a saviour. ⁹ In all their distress He is no adversary, And the messenger of His presence saved them, In His love and in His pity He redeemed them, And He doth lift them up, And beareth them all the days of old. ¹⁰ And they have rebelled and grieved His Holy Spirit, And He turneth to them for an enemy, He Himself hath fought against them. ¹¹ And He remembereth the days of old, Moses—his people. Where is He who is bringing them up from the sea, The shepherd of his flock? Where is He who is putting in its midst His Holy Spirit? ¹² Leading by the right hand of Moses, the arm of His glory, Cleaving waters from before them, To make to Himself a name age-during. ¹³ Leading them through the depths, As a horse in a plain they stumble not.

³⁷ And the whole multitude of the region of the Gadarenes round about asked him to go away from them, because with great fear they were pressed, and he having entered into the boat, did turn back.

¹³ And Ananias answered, `Lord, I have heard from many about this man, how many evils he did to Thy saints in Jerusalem, <sup>14</sup> and here he hath authority from the chief priests, to bind all those calling on Thy name.' <sup>15</sup> And the Lord said unto him, `Be going on, because a choice vessel to Me is this one, to bear My name before nations and kings—the sons also of Israel; ¹⁶ for I will shew him how many things it behoveth him for My name to suffer.'

²³ and only they were hearing, that `he who is persecuting us then, doth now proclaim good news—the faith that then he was wasting;' ²⁴ and they were glorifying God in me.

²³ for I am pressed by the two, having the desire to depart, and to be with Christ, for it is far better,

¹³ who before was speaking evil, and persecuting, and insulting, but I found kindness, because, being ignorant, I did it in unbelief, ¹⁴ and exceedingly abound did the grace of our Lord, with faith and love that is in Christ Jesus: ¹⁵ stedfast is the word, and of all acceptation worthy, that Christ Jesus came to the world to save sinners—first of whom I am; ¹⁶ but because of this I found kindness, that in me first Jesus Christ might shew forth all long-suffering, for a pattern of those about to believe on him to life age-during:

²¹ He is thy praise, and He is thy God, who hath done with thee these great and fearful things which thine eyes have seen:

¹⁶ Come, hear, all ye who fear God, And I recount what he did for my soul.

² Then filled with laughter is our mouth, And our tongue with singing, Then do they say among nations, `Jehovah did great things with these.' ³ Jehovah did great things with us, We have been joyful.

¹ `Nebuchadnezzar the king to all peoples, nations, and languages, who are dwelling in all the earth: Your peace be great! ² The signs and wonders that God Most High hath done with me, it is good before me to shew. ³ His signs how great! and His wonders how mighty! His kingdom is a kingdom age-during, and His rule is with generation and generation.

³⁴ `And at the end of the days I, Nebuchadnezzar, mine eyes to the heavens have lifted up, and mine understanding unto me returneth, and the Most High I have blessed, and the Age-during Living One I have praised and honoured, whose dominion is a dominion age-during, and His kingdom with generation and generation; <sup>35</sup> and all who are dwelling on the earth as nothing are reckoned, and according to his will He is doing among the forces of the heavens and those dwelling on the earth, and there is none that doth clap with his hand, and saith to Him, What hast Thou done? <sup>36</sup> `At that time my understanding doth return unto me, and for the glory of my kingdom, my honour and my brightness doth return unto me, and to me my counsellors and my great men do seek, and over my kingdom I have been made right, and abundant greatness hath been added to me. ³⁷ `Now, I, Nebuchadnezzar, am praising and exalting and honouring the King of the heavens, for all His works are truth, and His paths judgment, and those walking in pride He is able to humble.'

⁴⁵ And he, having gone forth, began to proclaim much, and to spread abroad the thing, so that no more he was able openly to enter into the city, but he was without in desert places, and they were coming unto him from every quarter.

¹⁵ and one of them having seen that he was healed did turn back, with a loud voice glorifying God, ¹⁶ and he fell upon his face at his feet, giving thanks to him, and he was a Samaritan. ¹⁷ And Jesus answering said, `Were not the ten cleansed, and the nine—where? ¹⁸ There were not found who did turn back to give glory to God, except this alien;'

²⁹ `Come, see a man, who told me all things—as many as I did; is this the Christ?'

⁸ and if any one for his own—and especially for those of the household—doth not provide, the faith he hath denied, and than an unbeliever he is worse.

³⁴ O the happiness of the man hearkening to me, To watch at my doors day by day, To watch at the door-posts of my entrance.

¹ And having gone to the boat, he passed over, and came to his own city,

³⁷ therefore David himself saith of him Lord, and whence is he his son?' And the great multitude were hearing him gladly,

⁶ and he having hastened did come down, and did receive him rejoicing;

³⁷ and as he is coming nigh now, at the descent of the mount of the Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began rejoicing to praise God with a great voice for all the mighty works they had seen, ³⁸ saying, `blessed is he who is coming, a king in the name of the Lord; peace in heaven, and glory in the highest.'

⁴⁸ and they were not finding what they shall do, for all the people were hanging on him, hearing him.

⁷ and Jesus saith to him, `I, having come, will heal him.' <sup>8</sup> And the centurion answering said, `Sir, I am not worthy that thou mayest enter under my roof, but only say a word, and my servant shall be healed;

¹⁸ While he is speaking these things to them, lo, a ruler having come, was bowing to him, saying that `My daughter just now died, but, having come, lay thy hand upon her, and she shall live.' <sup>19</sup> And Jesus having risen, did follow him, also his disciples, <sup>20</sup> and lo, a woman having an issue of blood twelve years, having come to him behind, did touch the fringe of his garments, <sup>21</sup> for she said within herself, `If only I may touch his garment, I shall be saved.' ²² And Jesus having turned about, and having seen her, said, `Be of good courage, daughter, thy faith hath saved thee,' and the woman was saved from that hour. <sup>23</sup> And Jesus having come to the house of the ruler, and having seen the minstrels and the multitude making tumult, <sup>24</sup> he saith to them, `Withdraw, for the damsel did not die, but doth sleep,' and they were deriding him; ²⁵ but, when the multitude was put forth, having gone in, he took hold of her hand, and the damsel arose, ²⁶ and the fame of this went forth to all the land.

²² and lo, there doth come one of the chiefs of the synagogue, by name Jairus, and having seen him, he doth fall at his feet, ²³ and he was calling upon him much, saying—`My little daughter is at the last extremity—that having come, thou mayest lay on her thy hands, so that she may be saved, and she shall live;' <sup>24</sup> and he went away with him. And there was following him a great multitude, and they were thronging him, <sup>25</sup> and a certain woman, having an issue of blood twelve years, <sup>26</sup> and many things having suffered under many physicians, and having spent all that she had, and having profited nothing, but rather having come to the worse, <sup>27</sup> having heard about Jesus, having come in the multitude behind, she touched his garment, <sup>28</sup> for she said—`If even his garments I may touch, I shall be saved;' ²⁹ and immediately was the fountain of her blood dried up, and she knew in the body that she hath been healed of the plague. ³⁰ And immediately Jesus having known in himself that out of him power had gone forth, having turned about in the multitude, said, `Who did touch my garments?' <sup>31</sup> and his disciples said to him, `Thou seest the multitude thronging thee, and thou sayest, `Who did touch me!' <sup>32</sup> And he was looking round to see her who did this, <sup>33</sup> and the woman, having been afraid, and trembling, knowing what was done on her, came, and fell down before him, and told him all the truth, <sup>34</sup> and he said to her, `Daughter, thy faith hath saved thee; go away in peace, and be whole from thy plague.'
³⁵ As he is yet speaking, there come from the chief of the synagogue's house, certain, saying—`Thy daughter did die, why still dost thou harass the Teacher?' <sup>36</sup> And Jesus immediately, having heard the word that is spoken, saith to the chief of the synagogue, `Be not afraid, only believe.' ³⁷ And he did not suffer any one to follow with him, except Peter, and James, and John the brother of James; ³⁸ and he cometh to the house of the chief of the synagogue, and seeth a tumult, much weeping and wailing; ³⁹ and having gone in he saith to them, `Why do ye make a tumult, and weep? the child did not die, but doth sleep; <sup>40</sup> and they were laughing at him. And he, having put all forth, doth take the father of the child, and the mother, and those with him, and goeth in where the child is lying, <sup>41</sup> and, having taken the hand of the child, he saith to her, `Talitha cumi;' which is, being interpreted, `Damsel (I say to thee), arise.' ⁴² And immediately the damsel arose, and was walking, for she was twelve years old; and they were amazed with a great amazement, ⁴³ and he charged them much, that no one may know this thing, and he said that there be given to her to eat.

⁴⁹ While he is yet speaking, there doth come a certain one from the chief of the synagogue's house, saying to him—`Thy daughter hath died, harass not the Teacher;'

¹⁴ And the chief of the synagogue answering—much displeased that on the sabbath Jesus healed—said to the multitude, `Six days there are in which it behoveth us to be working; in these, then, coming, be healed, and not on the sabbath-day.'

¹⁶ and he fell upon his face at his feet, giving thanks to him, and he was a Samaritan.

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, ⁴⁷ he, having heard that Jesus is come out of Judea to Galilee, went away unto him, and was asking him that he may come down and may heal his son, for he was about to die. ⁴⁸ Jesus then said unto him, `If signs and wonders ye may not see, ye will not believe.' <sup>49</sup> The courtier saith unto him, `Sir, come down before my child die;'

²¹ Martha, therefore, said unto Jesus, `Sir, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died;

³⁸ and Lydda being nigh to Joppa, the disciples having heard that Peter is in that place, sent two men unto him, calling on him not to delay to come through unto them.

¹⁵ and after the reading of the law and of the prophets, the chief men of the synagogue sent unto them, saying, `Men, brethren, if there be a word in you of exhortation unto the people—say on.'

⁸ and Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue did believe in the Lord with all his house, and many of the Corinthians hearing were believing, and they were being baptized.

¹⁷ and all the Greeks having taken Sosthenes, the chief man of the synagogue, were beating him before the tribunal, and not even for these things was Gallio caring.

⁸ And when he took the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell before the Lamb, having each one harps and golden vials full of perfumes, which are the prayers of the saints,

²⁰ and we say unto my lord, We have a father, an aged one, and a child of old age, a little one; and his brother died, and he is left alone of his mother, and his father hath loved him. ²¹ `And thou sayest unto thy servants, Bring him down unto me, and I set mine eye upon him; ²² and we say unto my lord, The youth is not able to leave his father, when he hath left his father, then he hath died;

¹⁸ While this one is speaking another also hath come and saith, `Thy sons and thy daughters are eating, and drinking wine, in the house of their brother, the first-born. ¹⁹ And lo, a great wind hath come from over the wilderness, and striketh against the four corners of the house, and it falleth on the young men, and they are dead, and I am escaped—only I alone—to declare it to thee.'

²⁰ From morning to evening are beaten down, Without any regarding, for ever they perish.

⁵ Thou hast inundated them, they are asleep, In the morning as grass he changeth. ⁶ In the morning it flourisheth, and hath changed, At evening it is cut down, and hath withered.
⁷ For we were consumed in Thine anger, And in Thy fury we have been troubled. ⁸ Thou hast set our iniquities before Thee, Our hidden things at the light of Thy face,

¹⁵ Mortal man! as grass are his days, As a flower of the field so he flourisheth; ¹⁶ For a wind hath passed over it, and it is not, And its place doth not discern it any more.

¹² For who knoweth what is good for a man in life, the number of the days of the life of his vanity, and he maketh them as a shadow? for who declareth to man what is after him under the sun?

¹⁶ `Son of man, lo, I am taking from thee the desire of thine eyes by a stroke, and thou dost not mourn, nor weep, nor let thy tear come.

²⁵ And thou, son of man, Is it not in the day of My taking from them their strength, The joy of their beauty, the desire of their eyes, And the song of their soul, Their sons and their daughters?

¹⁰ And I have poured on the house of David, And on the inhabitant of Jerusalem, A spirit of grace and supplications, And they have looked unto Me whom they pierced, And they have mourned over it, Like a mourning over the only one, And they have been in bitterness for it, Like a bitterness over the first-born.

²⁴ and he went away with him. And there was following him a great multitude, and they were thronging him,

¹² and as he came nigh to the gate of the city, then, lo, one dead was being carried forth, an only son of his mother, and she a widow, and a great multitude of the city was with her.

⁴⁵ And Jesus said, `Who is it that touched me?' and all denying, Peter and those with him said, `Master, the multitudes press thee, and throng thee, and thou dost say, Who is it that touched me!'

¹² because of this, even as through one man the sin did enter into the world, and through the sin the death; and thus to all men the death did pass through, for that all did sin;

²⁵ `And when a woman's issue of blood floweth many days within the time of her separation, or when it floweth over her separation—all the days of the issue of her uncleanness are as the days of her separation; she is unclean. <sup>26</sup> `All the bed on which she lieth all the days of her issue is as the bed of her separation to her, and all the vessel on which she sitteth is unclean as the uncleanness of her separation; ²⁷ and any one who is coming against them is unclean, and hath washed his garments, and hath bathed with water, and been unclean till the evening. ²⁸ `And if she hath been clean from her issue, then she hath numbered to herself seven days, and afterwards she is clean; <sup>29</sup> and on the eighth day she taketh to herself two turtle-doves, or two young pigeons, and hath brought them in unto the priest, unto the opening of the tent of meeting; <sup>30</sup> and the priest hath made the one a sin-offering, and the one a burnt-offering, and the priest hath made atonement for her before Jehovah, because of the issue of her uncleanness. <sup>31</sup> `And ye have separated the sons of Israel from their uncleanness, and they die not in their uncleanness, in their defiling My tabernacle which is in their midst. ³² `This is the law of him who hath an issue, and of him whose seed of copulation goeth out from him, for uncleanness thereby, ³³ and of her who is sick in her separation, and of him who hath an issue, the issue of a male or of a female, and of a man who lieth with an unclean woman.'

¹² And Asa is diseased—in the thirty and ninth year of his reign—in his feet, till his disease is excessive, and also in his disease he hath not sought Jehovah, but among physicians.

⁴ And yet, ye are forgers of falsehood, Physicians of nought—all of you,

¹² Give to us help from adversity, And vain is the salvation of man.

²² Cease for you from man, Whose breath is in his nostrils, For—in what is he esteemed?

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.

²⁰ and lo, a woman having an issue of blood twelve years, having come to him behind, did touch the fringe of his garments, ²¹ for she said within herself, `If only I may touch his garment, I shall be saved.' <sup>22</sup> And Jesus having turned about, and having seen her, said, `Be of good courage, daughter, thy faith hath saved thee,' and the woman was saved from that hour.

²⁵ and a certain woman, having an issue of blood twelve years, ²⁶ and many things having suffered under many physicians, and having spent all that she had, and having profited nothing, but rather having come to the worse,

¹⁸ and wherever it doth seize him, it doth tear him, and he foameth, and gnasheth his teeth, and pineth away; and I spake to thy disciples that they may cast it out, and they were not able.'

²¹ And he questioned his father, `How long time is it since this came to him?' and he said, `From childhood, ²² and many times also it cast him into fire, and into water, that it might destroy him; but if thou art able to do anything, help us, having compassion on us.'

¹¹ and lo, there was a woman having a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and she was bowed together, and not able to bend back at all,

¹⁶ and this one, being a daughter of Abraham, whom the Adversary bound, lo, eighteen years, did it not behove to be loosed from this bond on the sabbath-day?'

⁵ and there was a certain man there being in ailment thirty and eight years, ⁶ him Jesus having seen lying, and having known that he is already a long time, he saith to him, `Dost thou wish to become whole?'

¹ And passing by, he saw a man blind from birth,

²¹ and how he now seeth, we have not known; or who opened his eyes, we have not known; himself is of age, ask him; he himself shall speak concerning himself.'

² and a certain man, being lame from the womb of his mother, was being carried, whom they were laying every day at the gate of the temple, called Beautiful, to ask a kindness from those entering into the temple,

²² for above forty years of age was the man upon whom had been done this sign of the healing.

⁸ And a certain man in Lystra, impotent in the feet, was sitting, being lame from the womb of his mother—who never had walked, ⁹ this one was hearing Paul speaking, who, having stedfastly beheld him, and having seen that he hath faith to be saved, ¹⁰ said with a loud voice, `Stand up on thy feet upright;' and he was springing and walking,

²⁶ and He saith, `If thou dost really hearken to the voice of Jehovah thy God, and dost that which is right in His eyes, and hast hearkened to His commands, and kept all His statutes: none of the sickness which I laid on the Egyptians do I lay on thee, for I, Jehovah, am healing thee.

¹² `Fringes thou dost make to thee on the four skirts of thy covering with which thou dost cover thyself .

² And risen to you, ye who fear My name, Hath the sun of righteousness—and healing in its wings, And ye have gone forth, and have increased as calves of a stall.

³ and having stretched forth the hand, Jesus touched him, saying, `I will, be thou cleansed,' and immediately his leprosy was cleansed.

³⁴ and having been moved with compassion, Jesus touched their eyes, and immediately their eyes received sight, and they followed him.

²⁷ having heard about Jesus, having come in the multitude behind, she touched his garment, ²⁸ for she said—`If even his garments I may touch, I shall be saved;'

⁵⁶ and wherever he was going, to villages, or cities, or fields, in the market-places they were laying the infirm, and were calling upon him, that they may touch if it were but the fringe of his garment, and as many as were touching him were saved.

³⁸ and having stood behind, beside his feet, weeping, she began to wet his feet with the tears, and with the hairs of her head she was wiping, and was kissing his feet, and was anointing with the ointment.

¹³ and he laid on her his hands, and presently she was set upright, and was glorifying God.

¹³ But he that was healed had not known who he is, for Jesus did move away, a multitude being in the place.

¹⁵ so as into the broad places to bring forth the ailing, and to lay them upon couches and mats, that at the coming of Peter, even his shadow might overshadow some one of them;

¹² so that even unto the ailing were brought from his body handkerchiefs or aprons, and the sicknesses departed from them; the evil spirits also went forth from them.

³⁰ And immediately Jesus having known in himself that out of him power had gone forth, having turned about in the multitude, said, `Who did touch my garments?' <sup>31</sup> and his disciples said to him, `Thou seest the multitude thronging thee, and thou sayest, `Who did touch me!' ³² And he was looking round to see her who did this,

¹³ And he said unto them, `Give ye them to eat;' and they said, `We have no more than five loaves, and two fishes: except, having gone, we may buy for all this people victuals;'

¹⁷ And it came to pass, on one of the days, that he was teaching, and there were sitting by Pharisees and teachers of the Law, who were come out of every village of Galilee, and Judea, and Jerusalem, and the power of the Lord was—to heal them.

¹⁹ and all the multitude were seeking to touch him, because power from him was going forth, and he was healing all.

⁹ and ye are a choice race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people acquired, that the excellences ye may shew forth of Him who out of darkness did call you to His wondrous light;

⁴ And Samuel doth that which Jehovah hath spoken, and cometh in to Beth-Lehem, and the elders of the city tremble to meet him, and one saith, `Is thy coming peace?'

¹¹ Serve ye Jehovah with fear, And rejoice with trembling.

⁹ Lord, before Thee is all my desire, And my sighing from Thee hath not been hid.

² And all these My hand hath made, And all these things are, An affirmation of Jehovah! And unto this one I look attentively, Unto the humble and bruised in spirit, And who is trembling at My word.

³ I have known Ephraim, And Israel hath not been hid from me, For now thou hast gone a-whoring, Ephraim, Defiled is Israel.

¹ When Ephraim speaketh tremblingly, He hath been lifted up in Israel, When he becometh guilty in Baal he dieth.

¹⁶ I have heard, and my belly trembleth, At the noise have my lips quivered, Rottenness doth come into my bones, And in my place I do tremble, That I rest for a day of distress, At the coming up of the people, he overcometh it.

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

³³ and the woman, having been afraid, and trembling, knowing what was done on her, came, and fell down before him, and told him all the truth,

¹⁵ and one of them having seen that he was healed did turn back, with a loud voice glorifying God, ¹⁶ and he fell upon his face at his feet, giving thanks to him, and he was a Samaritan.

²⁹ And, having asked for a light, he sprang in, and trembling he fell down before Paul and Silas,

³ and I, in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling, was with you;

¹⁵ and his tender affection is more abundantly toward you, remembering the obedience of you all, how with fear and trembling ye did receive him;

¹² So that, my beloved, as ye always obey, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, with fear and trembling your own salvation work out,

²⁸ wherefore, a kingdom that cannot be shaken receiving, may we have grace, through which we may serve God well-pleasingly, with reverence and religious fear;

¹⁸ And Moses goeth and turneth back unto Jethro his father-in-law, and saith to him, `Let me go, I pray thee, and I turn back unto my brethren who are in Egypt, and I see whether they are yet alive.' And Jethro saith to Moses, `Go in peace.'

¹⁷ And Eli answereth and saith, `Go in peace, and the God of Israel doth give thy petition which thou hast asked of Him.'

¹⁹ And he saith to him, `Go in peace.' And he goeth from him a kibrath of land,

¹³ And Jesus said to the centurion, `Go, and as thou didst believe let it be to thee;' and his young man was healed in that hour.

² and lo, they were bringing to him a paralytic, laid upon a couch, and Jesus having seen their faith, said to the paralytic, `Be of good courage, child, thy sins have been forgiven thee.'

²² And Jesus having turned about, and having seen her, said, `Be of good courage, daughter, thy faith hath saved thee,' and the woman was saved from that hour.

²⁰ a bruised reed he shall not break, and smoking flax he shall not quench, till he may put forth judgment to victory,

³⁴ and he said to her, `Daughter, thy faith hath saved thee; go away in peace, and be whole from thy plague.'

⁵⁰ and he said unto the woman, `Thy faith have saved thee, be going on to peace.'

¹⁹ and he said to him, `Having risen, be going on, thy faith hath saved thee.'

⁴² And Jesus said to him, `Receive thy sight; thy faith hath saved thee;'

⁹ this one was hearing Paul speaking, who, having stedfastly beheld him, and having seen that he hath faith to be saved,

² for we also are having good news proclaimed, even as they, but the word heard did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in those who heard,

¹² And Ahaz saith, `I do not ask nor try Jehovah.'

⁶ And Jesus was going on with them, and now when he is not far distant from the house the centurion sent unto him friends, saying to him, `Sir, be not troubled, for I am not worthy that under my roof thou mayest enter;

⁴¹ and lo, there came a man, whose name is Jairus, and he was a chief of the synagogue, and having fallen at the feet of Jesus, was calling on him to come to his house; ⁴² because he had an only daughter about twelve years old, and she was dying. And in his going away, the multitudes were thronging him, ⁴³ and a woman, having an issue of blood for twelve years, who, having spent on physicians all her living, was not able to be healed by any,

⁷ and he from within answering may say, Do not give me trouble, already the door hath been shut, and my children with me are in the bed, I am not able, having risen, to give to thee.

¹⁰ Who is among you, fearing Jehovah, Hearkening to the voice of His servant, That hath walked in dark places, And there is no brightness for him? Let him trust in the name of Jehovah, And lean upon his God.

³⁶ And Jesus immediately, having heard the word that is spoken, saith to the chief of the synagogue, `Be not afraid, only believe.'

²³ And Jesus said to him, `If thou art able to believe! all things are possible to the one that is believing;'

²² And Jesus answering saith to them, `Have faith of God; ²³ for verily I say to you, that whoever may say to this mount, Be taken up, and be cast into the sea, and may not doubt in his heart, but may believe that the things that he saith do come to pass, it shall be to him whatever he may say. ²⁴ Because of this I say to you, all whatever—praying—ye do ask, believe that ye receive, and it shall be to you.

⁴⁸ and he said to her, `Take courage, daughter, thy faith hath saved thee, be going on to peace.'

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;

¹⁷ who is father of us all (according as it hath been written—`A father of many nations I have set thee,') before Him whom he did believe—God, who is quickening the dead, and is calling the things that be not as being.

²⁰ and at the promise of God did not stagger in unbelief, but was strengthened in faith, having given glory to God,

¹⁹ And he saith unto her, `Give to me thy son;' and he taketh him out of her bosom, and taketh him up unto the upper chamber where he is abiding, and layeth him on his own bed, <sup>20</sup> and crieth unto Jehovah, and saith, `Jehovah my God, also on the widow with whom I am sojourning hast Thou done evil—to put her son to death?' ²¹ And he stretcheth himself out on the lad three times, and calleth unto Jehovah, and saith, `O Jehovah my God, let turn back, I pray Thee, the soul of this lad into his midst;' <sup>22</sup> and Jehovah hearkeneth to the voice of Elijah, and the soul of the lad turneth back into his midst, and he liveth. <sup>23</sup> And Elijah taketh the lad, and bringeth him down from the upper chamber of the house, and giveth him to his mother, and Elijah saith, `See, thy son liveth!'

⁴ and thou hast entered, and shut the door upon thee, and upon thy sons, and hast poured out into all these vessels, and the full ones thou dost remove.' ⁵ And she goeth from him, and shutteth the door upon her, and upon her sons; they are bringing nigh unto her, and she is pouring out, ⁶ and it cometh to pass, at the filling of the vessels, that she saith unto her son, `Bring nigh unto me a vessel more,' and he saith unto her, `There is not a vessel more;' and the oil stayeth.

³⁴ And he goeth up, and lieth down on the lad, and putteth his mouth on his mouth, and his eyes on his eyes, and his hands on his hands, and stretcheth himself upon him, and the flesh of the lad becometh warm; ³⁵ and he turneth back and walketh in the house, once hither and once thither, and goeth up and stretcheth himself upon him, and the youth sneezeth till seven times, and the youth openeth his eyes. ³⁶ And he calleth unto Gehazi, and saith, `Call unto this Shunammite;' and he calleth her, and she cometh in unto him, and he saith, `Lift up thy son.'

² He doth not cry, nor lift up, Nor cause his voice to be heard, in the street.

⁵ `And when thou mayest pray, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites, because they love in the synagogues, and in the corners of the broad places—standing—to pray, that they may be seen of men; verily I say to you, that they have their reward. <sup>6</sup> `But thou, when thou mayest pray, go into thy chamber, and having shut thy door, pray to thy Father who is in secret, and thy Father who is seeing in secret, shall reward thee manifestly.

³⁷ And he did not suffer any one to follow with him, except Peter, and James, and John the brother of James; ³⁸ and he cometh to the house of the chief of the synagogue, and seeth a tumult, much weeping and wailing; ³⁹ and having gone in he saith to them, `Why do ye make a tumult, and weep? the child did not die, but doth sleep; ⁴⁰ and they were laughing at him. And he, having put all forth, doth take the father of the child, and the mother, and those with him, and goeth in where the child is lying,

³³ and he taketh Peter, and James, and John with him, and began to be amazed, and to be very heavy,

¹⁴ (Simon, whom also he named Peter, and Andrew his brother, James and John, Philip and Bartholomew,

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

⁴⁰ And Peter having put them all forth without, having bowed the knees, did pray, and having turned unto the body said, `Tabitha, arise;' and she opened her eyes, and having seen Peter, she sat up,

² and Sarah dieth in Kirjath-Arba, which is Hebron, in the land of Caanan, and Abraham goeth in to mourn for Sarah, and to bewail her.

³⁴ When Esau heareth the words of his father, then he crieth a very great and bitter cry, and saith to his father, `Bless me, me also, O my father;' <sup>35</sup> and he saith, `Thy brother hath come with subtilty, and taketh thy blessing.'

¹⁷ And the appearance of the honour of Jehovah is as a consuming fire on the top of the mount, before the eyes of the sons of Israel;

³³ And the king trembleth, and goeth up on the upper chamber of the gate, and weepeth, and thus he hath said in his going, `My son! Absalom my son; my son Absalom; oh that I had died for thee, Absalom, my son, my son.'

¹⁷ Thus said Jehovah of Hosts: Consider ye, and call for mourning women, And they come, And to the wise women send, and they come, ¹⁸ And they hasten, and lift up for us a wailing. And run down our eyes do tears, And from our eyelids do waters flow. ¹⁹ For—a voice of wailing is heard from Zion: How have we been spoiled! We have been greatly ashamed, Because we have forsaken the land, Because they have cast down our tabernacles. ²⁰ But hear, ye women, a word of Jehovah, And your ear receiveth a word of His mouth, And teach ye your daughters wailing, and each her neighbour lamentation. ²¹ For death hath come up into our windows, It hath come into our palaces, To cut off the suckling from without, Young men from the broad places.

¹⁷ and saying, We piped unto you, and ye did not dance, we lamented to you, and ye did not smite the breast.

³⁸ and he cometh to the house of the chief of the synagogue, and seeth a tumult, much weeping and wailing; ³⁹ and having gone in he saith to them, `Why do ye make a tumult, and weep? the child did not die, but doth sleep;

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

¹¹ These things he said, and after this he saith to them, `Lazarus our friend hath fallen asleep, but I go on that I may awake him;' <sup>12</sup> therefore said his disciples, `Sir, if he hath fallen asleep, he will be saved;' ¹³ but Jesus had spoken about his death, but they thought that about the repose of sleep he speaketh.

⁴ A laughter to his friend I am: `He calleth to God, and He answereth him,' A laughter is the perfect righteous one.

² If not—mockeries are with me. And in their provocations mine eye lodgeth.

⁷ All beholding me do mock at me, They make free with the lip—shake the head,

³ He is despised, and left of men, A man of pains, and acquainted with sickness, And as one hiding the face from us, He is despised, and we esteemed him not.

⁴⁴ And Pilate wondered if he were already dead, and having called near the centurion, did question him if he were long dead, ⁴⁵ and having known it from the centurion, he granted the body to Joseph.

¹⁴ And also the Pharisees, being lovers of money, were hearing all these things, and were deriding him,

³⁹ Jesus saith, `Take ye away the stone;' the sister of him who hath died—Martha—saith to him, `Sir, already he stinketh, for he is four days dead;'

³³ and having come to Jesus, when they saw him already having been dead, they did not break his legs; ³⁴ but one of the soldiers with a spear did pierce his side, and immediately there came forth blood and water; ³⁵ and he who hath seen hath testified, and his testimony is true, and that one hath known that true things he speaketh, that ye also may believe.

³² Not like the covenant that I made with their fathers, In the day of My laying hold on their hand, To bring them out of the land of Egypt, In that they made void My covenant, And I ruled over them—an affirmation of Jehovah.

²⁵ but, when the multitude was put forth, having gone in, he took hold of her hand, and the damsel arose,

³¹ and having come near, he raised her up, having laid hold of her hand, and the fever left her immediately, and she was ministering to them.

⁴⁰ and they were laughing at him. And he, having put all forth, doth take the father of the child, and the mother, and those with him, and goeth in where the child is lying, ⁴¹ and, having taken the hand of the child, he saith to her, `Talitha cumi;' which is, being interpreted, `Damsel (I say to thee), arise.'

²³ and having taken the hand of the blind man, he led him forth without the village, and having spit on his eyes, having put his hands on him, he was questioning him if he doth behold anything:

²⁷ but Jesus, having taken him by the hand, lifted him up, and he arose.

¹⁴ and having come near, he touched the bier, and those bearing it stood still, and he said, `Young man, to thee I say, Arise;' ¹⁵ and the dead sat up, and began to speak, and he gave him to his mother;

⁵¹ And having come to the house, he suffered no one to go in, except Peter, and James, and John, and the father of the child, and the mother;

²¹ `For, as the Father doth raise the dead, and doth make alive, so also the Son doth make alive whom he willeth;

²⁸ `Wonder not at this, because there doth come an hour in which all those in the tombs shall hear his voice, ²⁹ and they shall come forth; those who did the good things to a rising again of life, and those who practised the evil things to a rising again of judgment.

⁴³ And these things saying, with a loud voice he cried out, `Lazarus, come forth;'

⁴³ and he charged them much, that no one may know this thing, and he said that there be given to her to eat.

⁴¹ and while they are not believing from the joy, and wondering, he said to them, `Have ye anything here to eat?' ⁴² and they gave to him part of a broiled fish, and of an honeycomb, ⁴³ and having taken, he did eat before them,

⁴⁴ and he who died came forth, being bound feet and hands with grave-clothes, and his visage with a napkin was bound about; Jesus saith to them, `Loose him, and suffer to go.'

⁴ And Jesus saith to him, `See, thou mayest tell no one, but go, thyself shew to the priest, and bring the gift that Moses commanded for a testimony to them.'

³⁰ and their eyes were opened, and Jesus strictly charged them, saying, `See, let no one know;'

¹⁴ And he charged him to tell no one, `But, having gone away, shew thyself to the priest, and bring near for thy cleansing according as Moses directed, for a testimony to them;'
