¹² From this time was Pilate seeking to release him, and the Jews were crying out, saying, `If this one thou mayest release, thou art not a friend of Caesar; every one making himself a king, doth speak against Caesar.' <sup>13</sup> Pilate, therefore, having heard this word, brought Jesus without—and he sat down upon the tribunal—to a place called, `Pavement,' and in Hebrew, Gabbatha; ¹⁴ and it was the preparation of the passover, and as it were the sixth hour, and he saith to the Jews, `Lo, your king!' <sup>15</sup> and they cried out, `Take away, take away, crucify him;' Pilate saith to them, `Your king shall I crucify?' the chief priests answered, `We have no king except Caesar.'
¹⁶ Then, therefore, he delivered him up to them, that he may be crucified, and they took Jesus and led him away,

²³ having given also a direction to the centurion to keep Paul, to let him also have liberty, and to forbid none of his own friends to minister or to come near to him. ²⁴ And after certain days, Felix having come with Drusilla his wife, being a Jewess, he sent for Paul, and heard him concerning the faith toward Christ, ²⁵ and he reasoning concerning righteousness, and temperance, and the judgment that is about to be, Felix, having become afraid, answered, `For the present be going, and having got time, I will call for thee;' ²⁶ and at the same time also hoping that money shall be given to him by Paul, that he may release him, therefore, also sending for him the oftener, he was conversing with him; ²⁷ and two years having been fulfilled, Felix received a successor, Porcius Festus; Felix also willing to lay a favour on the Jews, left Paul bound.

³ asking favour against him, that he may send for him to Jerusalem, making an ambush to put him to death in the way. ⁴ Then, indeed, Festus answered that Paul is kept in Caesarea, and himself is about speedily to go on thither, ⁵ `Therefore those able among you—saith he—having come down together, if there be anything in this man—let them accuse him;' <sup>6</sup> and having tarried among them more than ten days, having gone down to Caesarea, on the morrow having sat upon the tribunal, he commanded Paul to be brought; <sup>7</sup> and he having come, there stood round about the Jews who have come down from Jerusalem—many and weighty charges they are bringing against Paul, which they were not able to prove, <sup>8</sup> he making defence—`Neither in regard to the law of the Jews, nor in regard to the temple, nor in regard to Caesar—did I commit any sin.' ⁹ And Festus willing to lay on the Jews a favour, answering Paul, said, `Art thou willing, to Jerusalem having gone up, there concerning these things to be judged before me?'

¹⁶ and they are mocking at the messengers of God, and despising His words, and acting deceitfully with His prophets, till the going up of the fury of Jehovah against His people—till there is no healing.

³⁰ In vain I have smitten your sons, Instruction they have not accepted, Devoured hath your sword your prophets, As a destroying lion.

¹² and I say to you—Elijah did already come, and they did not know him, but did with him whatever they would, so also the Son of Man is about to suffer by them.'

³⁵ and the husbandmen having taken his servants, one they scourged, and one they killed, and one they stoned. ³⁶ `Again he sent other servants more than the first, and they did to them in the same manner.

³ and he sent forth his servants to call those having been called to the marriage-feasts, and they were not willing to come. ⁴ `Again he sent forth other servants, saying, Say to those who have been called: Lo, my dinner I prepared, my oxen and the fatlings have been killed, and all things are ready, come ye to the marriage-feasts; ⁵ and they, having disregarded it, went away, the one to his own field, and the other to his merchandise; ⁶ and the rest, having laid hold on his servants, did insult and slay them .

³⁴ `Because of this, lo, I send to you prophets, and wise men, and scribes, and of them ye will kill and crucify, and of them ye will scourge in your synagogues, and will pursue from city to city; ³⁵ that on you may come all the righteous blood being poured out on the earth from the blood of Abel the righteous, unto the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the sanctuary and the altar: ³⁶ verily I say to you, all these things shall come upon this generation.

¹³ But I say to you, That also Elijah hath come, and they did to him what they willed, as it hath been written of him.'

⁹ and Herod said, `John I did behead, but who is this concerning whom I hear such things?' and he was seeking to see him.

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,

⁷ Cursed is their anger, for it is fierce, And their wrath, for it is sharp; I divide them in Jacob, And I scatter them in Israel.

⁴ Fury is fierce, and anger is overflowing, And who standeth before jealousy?

¹⁷ But thine eyes and thy heart are not, Except on thy dishonest gain, And on shedding of innocent blood, And on oppression, and on doing of violence.

³ Thus said the Lord Jehovah to Jerusalem: Thy birth and thy nativity Are of the land of the Canaanite, Thy father the Amorite, and thy mother a Hittite. ⁴ As to thy nativity, in the day thou wast born, Thou—thy navel hath not been cut, And in water thou wast not washed for ease, And thou hast not been salted at all, And thou hast not been swaddled at all.

² and thou hast said: What is thy mother? —a lioness, Among lions she hath crouched down, In the midst of young lions she hath multiplied her whelps. ³ And she bringeth up one of her whelps, A young lion it hath been, And it learneth to tear prey, man it hath devoured.

⁶ Therefore, I live—an affirmation of the Lord Jehovah, Surely for blood I do appoint thee, And blood doth pursue thee, If blood thou hast not hated, Blood also doth pursue thee.

⁶ because blood of saints and prophets they did pour out, and blood to them Thou didst give to drink, for they are worthy;'

⁶ And I saw the woman drunken from the blood of the saints, and from the blood of the witnesses of Jesus, and I did wonder—having seen her—with great wonder;

⁵⁸ he having gone near to Pilate, asked for himself the body of Jesus; then Pilate commanded the body to be given back. ⁵⁹ And having taken the body, Joseph wrapped it in clean linen, ⁶⁰ and laid it in his new tomb, that he hewed in the rock, and having rolled a great stone to the door of the tomb, he went away; ⁶¹ and there were there Mary the Magdalene, and the other Mary, sitting over-against the sepulchre.

² and devout men carried away Stephen, and made great lamentation over him;

²³ `And whenever they may persecute you in this city, flee to the other, for verily I say to you, ye may not have completed the cities of Israel till the Son of Man may come.

¹⁵ and Jesus having known, withdrew thence, and there followed him great multitudes, and he healed them all,

¹ At that time did Herod the tetrarch hear the fame of Jesus, ² and said to his servants, `This is John the Baptist, he did rise from the dead, and because of this the mighty energies are working in him.'

³² And Jesus having called near his disciples, said, `I have compassion upon the multitude, because now three days they continue with me, and they have not what they may eat; and to let them away fasting I will not, lest they faint in the way.' <sup>33</sup> And his disciples say to him, `Whence to us, in a wilderness, so many loaves, as to fill so great a multitude?' ³⁴ And Jesus saith to them, `How many loaves have ye?' and they said, `Seven, and a few little fishes.' ³⁵ And he commanded the multitudes to sit down upon the ground, ³⁶ and having taken the seven loaves and the fishes, having given thanks, he did break, and gave to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude. ³⁷ And they did all eat, and were filled, and they took up what was over of the broken pieces seven baskets full, ³⁸ and those eating were four thousand men, apart from women and children.

³⁰ And the apostles are gathered together unto Jesus, and they told him all, and how many things they did, and how many things they taught, ³¹ and he said to them, `Come ye yourselves apart to a desert place, and rest a little,' for those coming and those going were many, and not even to eat had they opportunity, <sup>32</sup> and they went away to a desert place, in the boat, by themselves. <sup>33</sup> And the multitudes saw them going away, and many recognised him, and by land from all the cities they ran thither, and went before them, and came together to him, <sup>34</sup> and having come forth, Jesus saw a great multitude, and was moved with compassion on them, that they were as sheep not having a shepherd, and he began to teach many things. <sup>35</sup> And now the hour being advanced, his disciples having come near to him, say, —`The place is desolate, and the hour is now advanced, ³⁶ let them away, that, having gone away to the surrounding fields and villages, they may buy to themselves loaves, for what they may eat they have not.' ³⁷ And he answering said to them, `Give ye them to eat,' and they say to him, `Having gone away, may we buy two hundred denaries' worth of loaves, and give to them to eat?' ³⁸ And he saith to them, `How many loaves have ye? go and see;' and having known, they say, `Five, and two fishes.' ³⁹ And he commanded them to make all recline in companies upon the green grass, ⁴⁰ and they sat down in squares, by hundreds, and by fifties. ⁴¹ And having taken the five loaves and the two fishes, having looked up to the heaven, he blessed, and brake the loaves, and was giving to his disciples, that they may set before them, and the two fishes divided he to all, ⁴² and they did all eat, and were filled, ⁴³ and they took up of broken pieces twelve hand-baskets full, and of the fishes, ⁴⁴ and those eating of the loaves were about five thousand men.

¹⁰ And the apostles having turned back, declared to him how great things they did, and having taken them, he withdrew by himself to a desert place of a city called Bethsaida, ¹¹ and the multitudes having known did follow him, and having received them, he was speaking to them concerning the reign of God, and those having need of service he cured. ¹² And the day began to decline, and the twelve having come near, said to him, `Let away the multitude, that having gone to the villages and the fields round about, they may lodge and may find provision, because here we are in a desert place.' <sup>13</sup> 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;' <sup>14</sup> for they were about five thousand men. And he said unto his disciples, `Cause them to recline in companies, in each fifty;' ¹⁵ and they did so, and made all to recline; ¹⁶ and having taken the five loaves, and the two fishes, having looked up to the heaven, he blessed them, and brake, and was giving to the disciples to set before the multitude; ¹⁷ and they did eat, and were all filled, and there was taken up what was over to them of broken pieces, twelve baskets.

¹ After these things Jesus went away beyond the sea of Galilee (of Tiberias), ² and there was following him a great multitude, because they were seeing his signs that he was doing on the ailing; ³ and Jesus went up to the mount, and he was there sitting with his disciples, ⁴ and the passover was nigh, the feast of the Jews. ⁵ Jesus then having lifted up his eyes and having seen that a great multitude doth come to him, saith unto Philip, `Whence shall we buy loaves, that these may eat?' — <sup>6</sup> and this he said, trying him, for he himself had known what he was about to do. <sup>7</sup> Philip answered him, `Two hundred denaries' worth of loaves are not sufficient to them, that each of them may receive some little;' ⁸ one of his disciples—Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter—saith to him, ⁹ `There is one little lad here who hath five barley loaves, and two fishes, but these—what are they to so many?' <sup>10</sup> And Jesus said, `Make the men to sit down;' and there was much grass in the place, the men then sat down, in number, as it were, five thousand, ¹¹ and Jesus took the loaves, and having given thanks he distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to those reclining, in like manner, also of the little fishes as much as they wished. ¹² And when they were filled, he saith to his disciples, `Gather together the broken pieces that are over, that nothing may be lost;' <sup>13</sup> they gathered together, therefore, and filled twelve hand-baskets with broken pieces, from the five barley loaves that were over to those having eaten. <sup>14</sup> The men, then, having seen the sign that Jesus did, said—`This is truly the Prophet, who is coming to the world;'
¹⁵ Jesus, therefore, having known that they are about to come, and to take him by force that they may make him king, retired again to the mountain himself alone.

²³ And Jesus was going about all Galilee teaching in their synagogues, and proclaiming the good news of the reign, and healing every disease, and every malady among the people,

³⁶ And having seen the multitudes, he was moved with compassion for them, that they were faint and cast aside, as sheep not having a shepherd,

³² And Jesus having called near his disciples, said, `I have compassion upon the multitude, because now three days they continue with me, and they have not what they may eat; and to let them away fasting I will not, lest they faint in the way.' <sup>33</sup> And his disciples say to him, `Whence to us, in a wilderness, so many loaves, as to fill so great a multitude?' ³⁴ And Jesus saith to them, `How many loaves have ye?' and they said, `Seven, and a few little fishes.' ³⁵ And he commanded the multitudes to sit down upon the ground, ³⁶ and having taken the seven loaves and the fishes, having given thanks, he did break, and gave to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude. ³⁷ And they did all eat, and were filled, and they took up what was over of the broken pieces seven baskets full, ³⁸ and those eating were four thousand men, apart from women and children. ³⁹ And having let away the multitudes, he went into the boat, and did come to the borders of Magdala.

³⁴ and having come forth, Jesus saw a great multitude, and was moved with compassion on them, that they were as sheep not having a shepherd, and he began to teach many things.

¹ In those days the multitude being very great, and not having what they may eat, Jesus having called near his disciples, saith to them, ² `I have compassion upon the multitude, because now three days they do continue with me, and they have not what they may eat;

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.'

¹³ And the Lord having seen her, was moved with compassion towards her, and said to her, `Be not weeping;'

⁴¹ And when he came nigh, having seen the city, he wept over it,

³³ Jesus, therefore, when he saw her weeping, and the Jews who came with her weeping, did groan in the spirit, and troubled himself, and he said, ³⁴ `Where have ye laid him?' they say to him, `Sir, come and see;' ³⁵ Jesus wept.

¹⁷ wherefore it did behove him in all things to be made like to the brethren, that he might become a kind and stedfast chief-priest in the things with God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people,

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;

² able to be gentle to those ignorant and going astray, since himself also is compassed with infirmity;

²³ And he did not answer her a word; and his disciples having come to him, were asking him, saying—`Let her away, because she crieth after us;'

³⁵ And now the hour being advanced, his disciples having come near to him, say, —`The place is desolate, and the hour is now advanced, ³⁶ let them away, that, having gone away to the surrounding fields and villages, they may buy to themselves loaves, for what they may eat they have not.'

³ and if I shall let them away fasting to their home, they will faint in the way, for certain of them are come from far.'

¹² And the day began to decline, and the twelve having come near, said to him, `Let away the multitude, that having gone to the villages and the fields round about, they may lodge and may find provision, because here we are in a desert place.'

⁴² And a man hath come from Baal-Shalishah, and bringeth in to the man of God bread of first-fruits, twenty loaves of barley, and full ears of corn in its husk, and he saith, `Give to the people, and they eat.' <sup>43</sup> And his minister saith, `What—do I give this before a hundred men?' and he saith, `Give to the people, and they eat, for thus said Jehovah, Eat and leave;' ⁴⁴ and he giveth before them, and they eat and leave, according to the word of Jehovah.

¹⁶ If I withhold from pleasure the poor, And the eyes of the widow do consume, ¹⁷ And I do eat my morsel by myself, And the orphan hath not eat of it,

²⁴ There is who is scattering, and yet is increased, And who is keeping back from uprightness, only to want.

² Give a portion to seven, and even to eight, For thou knowest not what evil is on the earth.

¹¹ and he answering saith to them, `He having two coats—let him impart to him having none, and he having victuals—in like manner let him do.'

²⁹ for certain were thinking, since Judas had the bag, that Jesus saith to him, `Buy what we have need of for the feast;' or that he may give something to the poor;

² because in much trial of tribulation the abundance of their joy, and their deep poverty, did abound to the riches of their liberality; ³ because, according to their power, I testify, and above their power, they were willing of themselves,

⁷ each one, according as he doth purpose in heart, not out of sorrow or out of necessity, for a cheerful giver doth God love, ⁸ and God is able all grace to cause to abound to you, that in every thing always all sufficiency having, ye may abound to every good work,

²¹ And Moses saith, `Six hundred thousand footmen are the people in whose midst I am; and Thou, Thou hast said, Flesh I give to them, and they have eaten, a month of days! <sup>22</sup> Is flock and herd slaughtered for them, that one hath found for them? —are all the fishes of the sea gathered for them—that one hath found for them?' <sup>23</sup> And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `Is the hand of Jehovah become short? now thou dost see whether My word meeteth thee or not.'

¹⁹ And they speak against God—they said: `Is God able to array a table in a wilderness?' <sup>20</sup> Lo, He hath smitten a rock, And waters flow, yea, streams overflow. `Also—bread is He able to give? Doth He prepare flesh for His people?'

³³ And his disciples say to him, `Whence to us, in a wilderness, so many loaves, as to fill so great a multitude?' <sup>34</sup> And Jesus saith to them, `How many loaves have ye?' and they said, `Seven, and a few little fishes.'

⁹ do ye not yet understand, nor remember the five loaves of the five thousand, and how many hand-baskets ye took up?

³⁷ And he answering said to them, `Give ye them to eat,' and they say to him, `Having gone away, may we buy two hundred denaries' worth of loaves, and give to them to eat?' ³⁸ And he saith to them, `How many loaves have ye? go and see;' and having known, they say, `Five, and two fishes.'

⁴ And his disciples answered him, `Whence shall any one be able these here to feed with bread in a wilderness?' <sup>5</sup> And he was questioning them, `How many loaves have ye?' and they said, `Seven.'

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;'

⁵ Jesus then having lifted up his eyes and having seen that a great multitude doth come to him, saith unto Philip, `Whence shall we buy loaves, that these may eat?' — <sup>6</sup> and this he said, trying him, for he himself had known what he was about to do. <sup>7</sup> Philip answered him, `Two hundred denaries' worth of loaves are not sufficient to them, that each of them may receive some little;' ⁸ one of his disciples—Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter—saith to him, ⁹ `There is one little lad here who hath five barley loaves, and two fishes, but these—what are they to so many?'

¹³ At your going in to the city so ye do find him, before he doth go up in to the high place to eat; for the people do not eat till his coming, for he doth bless the sacrifice; afterwards they eat, who are called, and now, go up, for at this time ye find him.'

³⁵ And he commanded the multitudes to sit down upon the ground, ³⁶ and having taken the seven loaves and the fishes, having given thanks, he did break, and gave to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.

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

³⁹ And he commanded them to make all recline in companies upon the green grass,

⁴¹ And having taken the five loaves and the two fishes, having looked up to the heaven, he blessed, and brake the loaves, and was giving to his disciples, that they may set before them, and the two fishes divided he to all,

³⁴ and having looked to the heaven, he sighed, and saith to him, `Ephphatha,' that is, `Be thou opened;'

⁶ And he commanded the multitude to sit down upon the ground, and having taken the seven loaves, having given thanks, he brake, and was giving to his disciples that they may set before them; and they did set before the multitude. ⁷ And they had a few small fishes, and having blessed, he said to set them also before them;

²² And as they are eating, Jesus having taken bread, having blessed, brake, and gave to them, and said, `Take, eat; this is my body.' ²³ And having taken the cup, having given thanks, he gave to them, and they drank of it—all;

¹⁴ for they were about five thousand men. And he said unto his disciples, `Cause them to recline in companies, in each fifty;'

¹⁶ and having taken the five loaves, and the two fishes, having looked up to the heaven, he blessed them, and brake, and was giving to the disciples to set before the multitude;

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

³⁰ And it came to pass, in his reclining (at meat) with them, having taken the bread, he blessed, and having broken, he was giving to them,

¹⁰ And Jesus said, `Make the men to sit down;' and there was much grass in the place, the men then sat down, in number, as it were, five thousand, ¹¹ and Jesus took the loaves, and having given thanks he distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to those reclining, in like manner, also of the little fishes as much as they wished.

²³ (and other little boats came from Tiberias, nigh the place where they did eat the bread, the Lord having given thanks),

⁴¹ They took away, therefore, the stone where the dead was laid, and Jesus lifted his eyes upwards, and said, `Father, I thank Thee, that Thou didst hear me;

³⁵ and having said these things, and having taken bread, he gave thanks to God before all, and having broken it, he began to eat;

⁶ He who is regarding the day, to the Lord he doth regard it, and he who is not regarding the day, to the Lord he doth not regard it . He who is eating, to the Lord he doth eat, for he doth give thanks to God; and he who is not eating, to the Lord he doth not eat, and doth give thanks to God.

¹⁶ The cup of the blessing that we bless—is it not the fellowship of the blood of the Christ? the bread that we break—is it not the fellowship of the body of the Christ?

³¹ Whether, then, ye eat, or drink, or do anything, do all to the glory of God;

²⁴ and having given thanks, he brake, and said, `Take ye, eat ye, this is my body, that for you is being broken; this do ye—to the remembrance of me.'

¹⁷ and all, whatever ye may do in word or in work, do all things in the name of the Lord Jesus—giving thanks to the God and Father, through him.

⁴ because every creature of God is good, and nothing is to be rejected, with thanksgiving being received, ⁵ for it is sanctified through the word of God and intercession.

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

¹² `I have heard the murmurings of the sons of Israel; speak unto them, saying, Between the evenings ye eat flesh, and in the morning ye are satisfied with bread, and ye have known that I am Jehovah your God.'

²⁶ `In My breaking to you the staff of bread, then ten women have baked your bread in one oven, and have given back your bread by weight; and ye have eaten, and are not satisfied.

¹² And she saith, `Jehovah thy God liveth, I have not a cake, but the fulness of the hand of meal in a pitcher, and a little oil in a dish; and lo, I am gathering two sticks, and have gone in and prepared it for myself, and for my son, and we have eaten it—and died.' <sup>13</sup> And Elijah saith unto her, `Fear not, go, do according to thy word, only make for me thence a little cake, in the first place, and thou hast brought out to me; and for thee and for thy son make—last; ¹⁴ for thus said Jehovah, God of Israel, The pitcher of meal is not consumed, and the dish of oil is not lacking, till the day of Jehovah's giving a shower on the face of the ground.' ¹⁵ And she goeth, and doth according to the word of Elijah, and she eateth, she and he, and her household—days; ¹⁶ the pitcher of meal was not consumed, and the dish of oil did not lack, according to the word of Jehovah that He spake by the hand of Elijah.

¹ And a certain woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets hath cried unto Elisha, saying, `Thy servant, my husband, is dead, and thou hast known that thy servant was fearing Jehovah, and the lender hath come to take my two children to him for servants.' <sup>2</sup> And Elisha saith unto her, `What do I do for thee? declare to me, what hast thou in the house?' and she saith, `Thy maid-servant hath nothing in the house except a pot of oil.' <sup>3</sup> And he saith, `Go, ask for thee vessels from without, from all thy neighbours—empty vessels—let them not be few; 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. ⁷ And she cometh and declareth to the man of God, and he saith, `Go, sell the oil, and repay thy loan; and thou and thy sons do live of the rest.'

²⁵ The righteous is eating to the satiety of his soul, And the belly of the wicked lacketh!

¹⁴ And I say, `Ah, Lord Jehovah, lo, my soul is not defiled, and carcase, and torn thing, I have not eaten from my youth, even till now; nor come into my mouth hath abominable flesh.' <sup>15</sup> And He saith unto me, `See, I have given to thee bullock's dung instead of man's dung, and thou hast made thy bread by it.' ¹⁶ And He saith unto me, `Son of man, lo, I am breaking the staff of bread in Jerusalem, and they have eaten bread by weight and with fear; and water by measure and with astonishment, they do drink;

⁶ Ye have sown much, and brought in little, To eat, and not to satiety, To drink, and not to drunkenness, To clothe, and none hath heat, And he who is hiring himself out, Is hiring himself for a bag pierced through.

⁶ `Happy those hungering and thirsting for righteousness—because they shall be filled.

³³ And his disciples say to him, `Whence to us, in a wilderness, so many loaves, as to fill so great a multitude?'

⁸ And Jesus having known, said to them, `Why reason ye in yourselves, ye of little faith, because ye took no loaves? ⁹ do ye not yet understand, nor remember the five loaves of the five thousand, and how many hand-baskets ye took up? ¹⁰ nor the seven loaves of the four thousand, and how many baskets ye took up?

⁸ and they did eat and were filled, and they took up that which was over of broken pieces—seven baskets; ⁹ and those eating were about four thousand. And he let them away,

¹⁶ and they were reasoning with one another, saying—`Because we have no loaves.' <sup>17</sup> And Jesus having known, saith to them, `Why do ye reason, because ye have no loaves? do ye not yet perceive, nor understand, yet have ye your heart hardened? ¹⁸ Having eyes, do ye not see? and having ears, do ye not hear? and do ye not remember? ¹⁹ When the five loaves I did brake to the five thousand, how many hand-baskets full of broken pieces took ye up?' they say to him, `Twelve.' <sup>20</sup> `And when the seven to the four thousand, how many hand-baskets full of broken pieces took ye up?' and they said, `Seven.' <sup>21</sup> And he said to them, `How do ye not understand?'

⁵³ The hungry He did fill with good, And the rich He sent away empty,

¹⁷ and they did eat, and were all filled, and there was taken up what was over to them of broken pieces, twelve baskets.

⁷ Philip answered him, `Two hundred denaries' worth of loaves are not sufficient to them, that each of them may receive some little;'

¹¹ and Jesus took the loaves, and having given thanks he distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to those reclining, in like manner, also of the little fishes as much as they wished. ¹² And when they were filled, he saith to his disciples, `Gather together the broken pieces that are over, that nothing may be lost;' <sup>13</sup> they gathered together, therefore, and filled twelve hand-baskets with broken pieces, from the five barley loaves that were over to those having eaten. <sup>14</sup> The men, then, having seen the sign that Jesus did, said—`This is truly the Prophet, who is coming to the world;'

¹⁰ And Jesus said, `Make the men to sit down;' and there was much grass in the place, the men then sat down, in number, as it were, five thousand,

⁴ and many of those hearing the word did believe, and the number of the men became, as it were, five thousand.

³⁴ for there was not any one among them who did lack, for as many as were possessors of fields, or houses, selling them, were bringing the prices of the thing sold,

⁸ and God is able all grace to cause to abound to you, that in every thing always all sufficiency having, ye may abound to every good work, ⁹ (according as it hath been written, `He dispersed abroad, he gave to the poor, his righteousness doth remain to the age,') ¹⁰ and may He who is supplying seed to the sower, and bread for food, supply and multiply your seed sown, and increase the fruits of your righteousness, ¹¹ in every thing being enriched to all liberality, which doth work through us thanksgiving to God,

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

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.'

³⁹ And having let away the multitudes, he went into the boat, and did come to the borders of Magdala.

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

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

⁶ `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.

³⁶ Then come with them doth Jesus to a place called Gethsemane, and he saith to the disciples, `Sit ye here, till having gone away, I shall pray yonder.'

⁴⁶ and having taken leave of them, he went away to the mountain to pray.

¹² And it came to pass in those days, he went forth to the mountain to pray, and was passing the night in the prayer of God,

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,

¹⁵ Jesus, therefore, having known that they are about to come, and to take him by force that they may make him king, retired again to the mountain himself alone. ¹⁶ And when evening came, his disciples went down to the sea, ¹⁷ and having entered into the boat, they were going over the sea to Capernaum, and darkness had already come, and Jesus had not come unto them,

⁴ and we to prayer, and to the ministration of the word, will give ourselves continually.'

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

²⁴ and lo, a great tempest arose in the sea, so that the boat was being covered by the waves, but he was sleeping,

⁴⁸ and he saw them harassed in the rowing, for the wind was against them, and about the fourth watch of the night he doth come to them walking on the sea, and wished to pass by them.

¹⁸ the sea also—a great wind blowing—was being raised,

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

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,

³ Who is laying the beam of His upper chambers in the waters, Who is making thick clouds His chariot, Who is walking on wings of wind,

⁴³ and this know, that if the master of the house had known in what watch the thief doth come, he had watched, and not suffered his house to be broken through;

³⁸ and if he may come in the second watch, and in the third watch he may come, and may find it so, happy are those servants.

¹⁹ having pushed onwards, therefore, about twenty-five or thirty furlongs, they behold Jesus walking on the sea, and coming nigh to the boat, and they were afraid;

² and he had in his hand a little scroll opened, and he did place his right foot upon the sea, and the left upon the land,

⁵ And the messenger whom I saw standing upon the sea, and upon the land, did lift up his hand to the heaven,

⁸ And the voice that I heard out of the heaven is again speaking with me, and saying, `Go, take the little scroll that is open in the hand of the messenger who hath been standing upon the sea, and upon the land:'

¹² And the woman seeth Samuel, and crieth with a loud voice, and the woman speaketh unto Saul, saying, `Why hast thou deceived me—and thou Saul?' <sup>13</sup> And the king saith to her, `Do not fear; for what hast thou seen?' and the woman saith unto Saul, `Gods I have seen coming up out of the earth.' <sup>14</sup> And he saith to her, `What is his form?' and she saith, `An aged man is coming up, and he is covered with an upper robe;' and Saul knoweth that he is Samuel, and boweth—face to thee earth—and doth obeisance.

¹⁴ Fear hath met me, and trembling, And the multitude of my bones caused to fear. ¹⁵ And a spirit before my face doth pass, Stand up doth the hair of my flesh; ¹⁶ It standeth, and I discern not its aspect, A similitude is over-against mine eyes, Silence! and a voice I hear:

⁶ and his body as a beryl, and his face as the appearance of lightning, and his eyes as lamps of fire, and his arms and his feet as the aspect of bright brass, and the voice of his words as the voice of a multitude. ⁷ `And I have seen—I, Daniel, by myself—the appearance: and the men who have been with me have not seen the appearance, but a great trembling hath fallen on them, and they flee to be hidden; <sup>8</sup> and I have been left by myself, and I see this great appearance, and there hath been no power left in me, and my honour hath been turned in me to corruption, yea, I have not retained power. <sup>9</sup> `And I hear the voice of his words, and when I hear the voice of his words, then I have been in a trance on my face, and my face is to the earth;
¹⁰ and lo, a hand hath come against me, and shaketh me on my knees and the palms of my hands. ¹¹ `And he saith unto me: Daniel, man greatly desired, attend to the words that I am speaking unto thee, and stand on thy station, for now I have been sent unto thee. `And when he speaketh with me this word, I have stood trembling. ¹² And he saith unto me: Do not fear, Daniel, for from the first day that thou didst give thy heart to understand, and to humble thyself before thy God, thy words have been heard, and I have come because of thy words.

⁴⁹ And they having seen him walking on the sea, thought it to be an apparition, and cried out, ⁵⁰ for they all saw him, and were troubled, and immediately he spake with them, and saith to them, `Take courage, I am he, be not afraid.'

¹¹ And there appeared to him a messenger of the Lord standing on the right side of the altar of the perfume, ¹² and Zacharias, having seen, was troubled, and fear fell on him;

⁵ and on their having become afraid, and having inclined the face to the earth, they said to them, `Why do ye seek the living with the dead?

³⁷ and being amazed, and becoming affrighted, they were thinking themselves to see a spirit.

⁴⁵ Then opened he up their understanding to understand the Writings,

¹⁵ and they said unto her, `Thou art mad;' and she was confidently affirming it to be so, and they said, `It is his messenger;'

¹⁷ And when I saw him, I did fall at his feet as dead, and he placed his right hand upon me, saying to me, `Be not afraid; I am the First and the Last,

⁴ Who hath wrought and done, Calling the generations from the first? I, Jehovah, the first, and with the last I am He.

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

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

¹² I—I am He—your comforter, Who art thou—and thou art afraid of man? he dieth! And of the son of man—grass he is made!

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.'

⁷ and Jesus having come near, touched them, and said, `Rise, be not afraid,'

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.'

¹³ and the messenger said unto him, `Fear not, Zacharias, for thy supplication was heard, and thy wife Elisabeth shall bear a son to thee, and thou shalt call his name John,

³⁰ And the messenger said to her, `Fear not, Mary, for thou hast found favour with God;

¹⁰ And the messenger said to them, `Fear not, for lo, I bring you good news of great joy, that shall be to all the people—

³⁸ And he said to them, `Why are ye troubled? and wherefore do reasonings come up in your hearts? ³⁹ see my hands and my feet, that I am he; handle me and see, because a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me having.'

²⁰ and he saith to them, `I am he, be not afraid;'

¹ `Let not your heart be troubled, believe in God, also in me believe; ² in the house of my Father are many mansions; and if not, I would have told you; I go on to prepare a place for you; ³ and if I go on and prepare for you a place, again do I come, and will receive you unto myself, that where I am ye also may be;

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

¹¹ And on the following night, the Lord having stood by him, said, `Take courage, Paul, for as thou didst fully testify the things concerning me at Jerusalem, so it behoveth thee also at Rome to testify.'

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

²⁷ Then Peter answering said to him, `Lo, we did leave all, and follow thee, what then shall we have?'

³³ And Peter answering said to him, `Even if all shall be stumbled at thee, I will never be stumbled.' <sup>34</sup> Jesus said to him, `Verily I say to thee, that, this night, before cock-crowing, thrice thou wilt deny me.' ³⁵ Peter saith to him, `Even if it may be necessary for me to die with thee, I will not deny thee;' in like manner also said all the disciples.

³¹ And he spake the more vehemently, `If it may be necessary for me to die with thee—I will in no wise deny thee;' and in like manner also said they all.

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

⁴⁹ And those about him, having seen what was about to be, said to him, `Sir, shall we smite with a sword?' ⁵⁰ And a certain one of them smote the servant of the chief priest, and took off his right ear,

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

³⁶ Simon Peter saith to him, `Sir, whither dost thou go away?' Jesus answered him, `Whither I go away, thou art not able now to follow me, but afterward thou shalt follow me.' ³⁷ Peter saith to him, `Sir, wherefore am I not able to follow thee now? my life for thee I will lay down;' <sup>38</sup> Jesus answered him, `Thy life for me thou wilt lay down! verily, verily, I say to thee, a cock will not crow till thou mayest deny me thrice.'

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,

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,

²¹ And Jesus answering said to them, `Verily I say to you, If ye may have faith, and may not doubt, not only this of the fig-tree shall ye do, but even if to this mount ye may say, Be lifted up and be cast into the sea, it shall come to pass;

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.

⁶ and the Lord said, `If ye had faith as a grain of mustard, ye would have said to this sycamine, Be uprooted, and be planted in the sea, and it would have obeyed you.

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

¹⁹ and not having been weak in the faith, he did not consider his own body, already become dead, (being about a hundred years old,) and the deadness of Sarah's womb,

¹³ For all things I have strength, in Christ's strengthening me;

¹⁵ And the servant of the man of God riseth early, and goeth out, and lo, a force is surrounding the city, and horse and chariot, and his young man saith unto him, `Alas! my lord, how do we do?'

⁷ Rise, O Jehovah! save me, my God. Because Thou hast smitten All mine enemies on the cheek. The teeth of the wicked Thou hast broken.

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.

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.

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,

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. ⁵⁷ Thou hast drawn near in the day I call Thee, Thou hast said, Fear not.

² And he saith: I called, because of my distress, to Jehovah, And He doth answer me, From the belly of sheol I have cried, Thou hast heard my voice. ³ When Thou dost cast me into the deep, Into the heart of the seas, Then the flood doth compass me, All Thy breakers and Thy billows have passed over me. ⁴ And I—I said: I have been cast out from before Thine eyes, (Yet I add to look unto Thy holy temple!) ⁵ Compassed me have waters unto the soul, The deep doth compass me, The weed is bound to my head. ⁶ To the cuttings of mountains I have come down, The earth, her bars are behind me to the age. And Thou bringest up from the pit my life, O Jehovah my God. ⁷ In the feebleness within me of my soul Jehovah I have remembered, And come in unto Thee doth my prayer, Unto Thy holy temple.

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.'

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

³⁸ Watch ye and pray, that ye may not enter into temptation; the spirit indeed is forward, but the flesh weak.'

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

⁵⁴ And having taken him, they led and brought him to the house of the chief priest. And Peter was following afar off, ⁵⁵ and they having kindled a fire in the midst of the court, and having sat down together, Peter was sitting in the midst of them, ⁵⁶ and a certain maid having seen him sitting at the light, and having earnestly looked at him, she said, `And this one was with him!' <sup>57</sup> and he disowned him, saying, `Woman, I have not known him.' ⁵⁸ And after a little, another having seen him, said, `And thou art of them!' and Peter said, `Man, I am not.' ⁵⁹ And one hour, as it were, having intervened, a certain other was confidently affirming, saying, `Of a truth this one also was with him, for he is also a Galilean;' <sup>60</sup> and Peter said, `Man, I have not known what thou sayest;' and presently, while he is speaking, a cock crew. ⁶¹ And the Lord having turned did look on Peter, and Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how he said to him—`Before a cock shall crow, thou mayest disown me thrice;'

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

⁷ and that by the exceeding greatness of the revelations I might not be exalted overmuch, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, a messenger of the Adversary, that he might buffet me, that I might not be exalted overmuch. ⁸ Concerning this thing thrice the Lord did I call upon, that it might depart from me, ⁹ and He said to me, `Sufficient for thee is My grace, for My power in infirmity is perfected;' most gladly, therefore, will I rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of the Christ may rest on me: ¹⁰ wherefore I am well pleased in infirmities, in damages, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses—for Christ; for whenever I am infirm, then I am powerful;

¹⁶ in my first defence no one stood with me, but all forsook me, (may it not be reckoned to them!) ¹⁷ and the Lord stood by me, and did strengthen me, that through me the preaching might be fully assured, and all the nations might hear, and I was freed out of the mouth of a lion,

¹⁴ and Abraham calleth the name of that place `Jehovah-Jireh,' because it is said this day in the mount, `Jehovah doth provide.'

³⁶ For Jehovah doth judge His people, And for His servants doth repent Himself. For He seeth—the going away of power, And none is restrained and left.

⁷ If I walk in the midst of distress Thou quickenest me, Against the anger of mine enemies Thou sendest forth Thy hand, And Thy right hand doth save me.

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.

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;

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

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.

⁴¹ And Jesus having been moved with compassion, having stretched forth the hand, touched him, and saith to him, `I will; be thou cleansed;'

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 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.

⁷ and go, say to his disciples, and Peter, that he doth go before you to Galilee; there ye shall see him, as he said to you.'

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.'

³⁴ saying—`The Lord was raised indeed, and was seen by Simon;'

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

¹⁸ Who, against hope in hope did believe, for his becoming father of many nations according to that spoken: `So shall thy seed be;' ¹⁹ and not having been weak in the faith, he did not consider his own body, already become dead, (being about a hundred years old,) and the deadness of Sarah's womb, ²⁰ and at the promise of God did not stagger in unbelief, but was strengthened in faith, having given glory to God,

⁸ I wish, therefore, that men pray in every place, lifting up kind hands, apart from anger and reasoning;

⁶ and let him ask in faith, nothing doubting, for he who is doubting hath been like a wave of the sea, driven by wind and tossed, ⁷ for let not that man suppose that he shall receive anything from the Lord— ⁸ a two-souled man is unstable in all his ways.

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

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?'

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

²¹ they were willing then to receive him into the boat, and immediately the boat came unto the land to which they were going.

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

²⁵ He answered and hath said, `Lo, I am seeing four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they have no hurt; and the appearance of the fourth is like to a son of the gods.'

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

²⁵ And having come, she was bowing to him, saying, `Sir, help me;'

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

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.'

⁶³ and Jesus was silent. And the chief priest answering said to him, `I adjure thee, by the living God, that thou mayest say to us, if thou art the Christ—the Son of God.'

⁴³ he hath trusted on God, let Him now deliver him, if He wish him, because he said—Son of God I am;'

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

⁹ and as they were going to tell to his disciples, then lo, Jesus met them, saying, `Hail!' and they having come near, laid hold of his feet, and did bow to him.

¹⁷ and having seen him, they bowed to him, but some did waver.

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

⁶¹ and he was keeping silent, and did not answer anything. Again the chief priest was questioning him, and saith to him, `Art thou the Christ—the Son of the Blessed?'

³⁹ and the centurion who was standing over-against him, having seen that, having so cried out, he yielded the spirit, said, `Truly this man was Son of God.'

⁴¹ And demons also were coming forth from many, crying out and saying—`Thou art the Christ, the Son of God;' and rebuking, he did not suffer them to speak, because they knew him to be the Christ.

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!'

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

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

⁶⁹ and we have believed, and we have known, that thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.'

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

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

¹ These things spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to the heaven, and said—`Father, the hour hath come, glorify Thy Son, that Thy Son also may glorify Thee,

⁷ the Jews answered him, `We have a law, and according to our law he ought to die, for he made himself Son of God.'

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

⁴ who is marked out Son of God in power, according to the Spirit of sanctification, by the rising again from the dead,) Jesus Christ our Lord;

⁵³ And having passed over, they came upon the land of Gennesaret, and drew to the shore, ⁵⁴ and they having come forth out of the boat, immediately having recognised him, ⁵⁵ having run about through all that region round about, they began upon the couches to carry about those ill, where they were hearing that he is, 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.

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,

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

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 there followed him many multitudes from Galilee, and Decapolis, and Jerusalem, and Judea, and beyond the Jordan.

²⁸ And the fame of him went forth immediately to all the region, round about, of Galilee.
²⁹ And immediately, having come forth out of the synagogue, they went to the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John, ³⁰ and the mother-in-law of Simon was lying fevered, and immediately they tell him about her, 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. ³² And evening having come, when the sun did set, they brought unto him all who were ill, and who were demoniacs, ³³ and the whole city was gathered together near the door, ³⁴ and he healed many who were ill of manifold diseases, and many demons he cast forth, and was not suffering the demons to speak, because they knew him.

¹ And again he entered into Capernaum, after some days, and it was heard that he is in the house, ² and immediately many were gathered together, so that there was no more room, not even at the door, and he was speaking to them the word. ³ And they come unto him, bringing a paralytic, borne by four, ⁴ and not being able to come near to him because of the multitude, they uncovered the roof where he was, and, having broken it up, they let down the couch on which the paralytic was lying, ⁵ and Jesus having seen their faith, saith to the paralytic, `Child, thy sins have been forgiven thee.' <sup>6</sup> And there were certain of the scribes there sitting, and reasoning in their hearts, <sup>7</sup> `Why doth this one thus speak evil words? who is able to forgive sins except one—God?' ⁸ And immediately Jesus, having known in his spirit that they thus reason in themselves, said to them, `Why these things reason ye in your hearts? <sup>9</sup> which is easier, to say to the paralytic, The sins have been forgiven to thee? or to say, Rise, and take up thy couch, and walk? <sup>10</sup> `And, that ye may know that the Son of Man hath authority on the earth to forgive sins—(he saith to the paralytic) — ¹¹ I say to thee, Rise, and take up thy couch, and go away to thy house;' ¹² and he rose immediately, and having taken up the couch, he went forth before all, so that all were astonished, and do glorify God, saying—`Never thus did we see.'

⁸ and from Jerusalem, and from Idumea and beyond the Jordan; and they about Tyre and Sidon—a great multitude—having heard how great things he was doing, came unto him. ⁹ And he said to his disciples that a little boat may wait on him, because of the multitude, that they may not press upon him, ¹⁰ for he did heal many, so that they threw themselves on him, in order to touch him—as many as had plagues;

⁵⁵ having run about through all that region round about, they began upon the couches to carry about those ill, where they were hearing that he is,

³³ `And thou hast made on its hem pomegranates of blue, and purple, and scarlet, on its hem round about, and bells of gold in their midst round about; <sup>34</sup> a bell of gold and a pomegranate, a bell of gold and a pomegranate are on the hems of the upper robe round about. <sup>35</sup> `And it hath been on Aaron to minister in, and its sound hath been heard in his coming in unto the sanctuary before Jehovah, and in his going out, and he doth not die. ³⁶ `And thou hast made a flower of pure gold, and hast opened on it—openings of a signet—`Holy to Jehovah;' ³⁷ and thou hast put it on a blue ribbon, and it hath been on the mitre—over-against the front of the mitre it is; ³⁸ and it hath been on the forehead of Aaron, and Aaron hath borne the iniquity of the holy things which the sons of Israel do hallow, even all their holy gifts; and it hath been on his forehead continually for a pleasing thing for them before Jehovah. ³⁹ `And thou hast embroidered the coat of linen, and hast made a mitre of linen, and a girdle thou dost make—work of an embroiderer.
<sup>40</sup> `And for the sons of Aaron thou dost make coats, and thou hast made for them girdles, yea, bonnets thou dost make for them, for honour and for beauty; ⁴¹ and thou hast clothed Aaron thy brother with them, and his sons with him, and hast anointed them, and hast consecrated their hand, and hast sanctified them, and they have been priests to Me. ⁴² `And make thou for them linen trousers to cover the naked flesh: they are from the loins even unto the thighs; ⁴³ and they have been on Aaron and on his sons, in their going in unto the tent of meeting, or in their drawing nigh unto the altar to minister in the sanctuary, and they do not bear iniquity nor have they died; a statute age-during to him, and to his seed after him.

³⁸ `Speak unto the sons of Israel, and thou hast said unto them, and they have made for themselves fringes on the skirts of their garments, to their generations, and they have put on the fringe of the skirt a ribbon of blue, ³⁹ and it hath been to you for a fringe, and ye have seen it, and have remembered all the commands of Jehovah, and have done them, and ye search not after your heart, and after your eyes, after which ye are going a-whoring;

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.'

⁵ `And all their works they do to be seen by men, and they make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the fringes of their garments,

¹⁰ for he did heal many, so that they threw themselves on him, in order to touch him—as many as had plagues;

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

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

²³ if a man doth receive circumcision on a sabbath that the law of Moses may not be broken, are ye wroth with me that I made a man all whole on a sabbath?

⁹ if we to-day are examined concerning the good deed to the ailing man, by whom he hath been saved, ¹⁰ be it known to all of you, and to all the people of Israel, that in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye did crucify, whom God did raise out of the dead, in him hath this one stood by before you whole.

¹⁴ and seeing the man standing with them who hath been healed, they had nothing to say against it,
¹⁵ and having commanded them to go away out of the sanhedrim, they took counsel with one another, ¹⁶ saying, `What shall we do to these men? because that, indeed, a notable sign hath been done through them, to all those dwelling in Jerusalem is manifest, and we are not able to deny it;

¹¹ mighty works also—not common—was God working through the hands of Paul, 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.
