t:
And commanded them that they should take nothing for their journey, save a staff only; no bag, no bread, no money in their purse:


t:
And he said to them, In whatever place ye enter into a house, there abide till ye depart from that place.


t:
And whoever shall not receive you, nor hear you, when ye depart thence shake off the dust under your feet, for a testimony against them. Verily I say to you, It shall be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment, than for that city.


t:
And king Herod heard of him (for his name was spread abroad:) and he said, That John the Baptist had risen from the dead, and therefore mighty works do show forth themselves in him.


t:
For Herod himself had sent forth and laid hold upon John, and bound him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife: for he had married her.


t:
For Herod feared John, knowing that he was a just and holy man, and observed him: and when he heard him, he did many things, and heard him gladly.


t:
And when a convenient day had come, that Herod on his birth-day made a supper to his lords, high captains, and chief men of Galilee;


t:
And when the daughter of the said Herodias came in, and danced, and pleased Herod, and them that sat with him, the king said to the damsel, Ask of me whatever thou wilt, and I will give it thee.


t:
And she went forth, and said to her mother, What shall I ask? and she said, The head of John the Baptist.


t:
And she came in forthwith with haste to the king, and asked, saying, I will that thou shouldst give me, immediately, in a dish, the head of John the Baptist.


t:
And the king was exceeding sorry: yet for his oath's sake, and for their sakes who sat with him, he would not reject her.


t:
And the apostles assembled themselves to Jesus, and told him all things, both what they had done, and what they had taught.


t:
And he said to them, Come ye yourselves apart into a desert place, and rest a while: for there were many coming and going, and they had no leisure so much as to eat.


t:
And the people saw them departing, and many knew him, and ran on foot thither out of all cities, and out went them, and came together to him.


t:
And Jesus, when he came out, saw many people, and was moved with compassion towards them, because they were as sheep not having a shepherd: and he began to teach them many things.


t:
And when the day was now far spent, his disciples came to him, and said, This is a desert place, and now the time is far passed:


t:
Send them away, that they may go into the country around, and into the villages, and buy themselves bread: for they have nothing to eat.


t:
He answered and said to them, Give ye them to eat. And they say to him, Shall we go and buy two hundred pennyworth of bread, and give them to eat?


t:
He saith to them, How many loaves have ye? go and see. And when they knew, they say, Five, and two fishes.


t:
And when he had taken the five loaves, and the two fishes, he looked up to heaven, and blessed, and broke the loaves, and gave them to his disciples to set before them; and the two fishes he divided among them all.


t:
And immediately he constrained his disciples to get into the boat, and to go to the other side before to Bethsaida, while he sent away the people.


t:
And he saw them toiling in rowing; for the wind was contrary to them: and about the fourth watch of the night he cometh to them, walking upon the sea, and would have passed by them.


t:
(For they all saw him, and were troubled.) And immediately he talked with them, and saith to them, Be of good cheer: It is I; be not afraid.


t:
And he went up to them into the boat; and the wind ceased: and they were greatly amazed in themselves beyond measure, and wondered.


t:
And ran through that whole region around, and began to carry about in beds those that were sick, where they heard he was.


t:
And whithersoever he entered, into villages, or cities, or country, they laid the sick in the streets, and besought him that they might touch, if it were but the border of his garment: and as many as touched him, were healed.


t:
And when they saw some of his disciples eating bread with defiled (that is to say with unwashed) hands, they found fault.


t:
For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, except they wash their hands often eat not, holding the tradition of the elders.


t:
And when they come from the market, except they wash, they eat not. And many other things there are, which they have received to hold, as the washing of cups, and pots, and of brazen vessels, and tables.


t:
Then the Pharisees and scribes asked him, Why walk not thy disciples according to the tradition of the elders, but eat bread with unwashed hands?


t:
He answered and said to them, Well hath Isaiah prophesied concerning you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoreth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.


t:
And he said to them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition,


t:
For Moses said, Honor thy father and thy mother; and, Whoever curseth father or mother, let him die the death:


t:
But ye say, If a man shall say to his father or mother, It is Corban, that is to say, a gift, by whatever thou mightest be profited by me; he shall be free.


t:
Making the word of God of no effect through your traditions, which ye have delivered: and many such like things ye do.


t:
And when he had called all the people to him, he said to them, Hearken to me every one of you, and understand.


t:
There is nothing from without a man, that entering into him, can defile him: but the things which come out of him, those are they that defile the man.


t:
And when he had entered into the house from the people, his disciples asked him concerning the parable.


t:
And he saith to them, Are ye so void of understanding also? Do ye not perceive, that whatever thing from without entereth into the man, it cannot defile him.


t:
Because it entereth not into his heart, but into the belly, and goeth out into the draught, purging all kinds of food.


t:
Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness;


t:
And from thence he arose, and went into the borders of Tyre and Sidon, and entered into a house, and would have no man know it: but he could not be hid.


t:
(The woman was a Greek, a Syrophenician by nation,) and she besought him that he would cast forth the demon out of her daughter.


t:
But Jesus said to her, Let the children first be satisfied: for it is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it to the dogs.


t:
And she answered and said to him, Yes, Lord: yet the dogs under the table eat of the children's crums.


t:
And when she had come to her house, she found the demon had gone out, and her daughter laid upon the bed.


t:
And again, departing from the borders of Tyre and Sidon, he came to the sea of Galilee, through the midst of the borders of Decapolis.


t:
And they bring to him one that was deaf, and had an impediment in his speech; and they beseech him to put his hand upon him.


t:
And he took him aside from the multitude, and put his fingers into his ears, and he spit, and touched his tongue.


t:
And he charged them that they should tell no man: but the more he charged them; so much the more a great deal they published it;


t:
And were beyond measure astonished, saying, He hath done all things well; he maketh both the deaf to hear, and the dumb to speak.


t:
In those days the multitude being very great, and having nothing to eat, Jesus called his disciples, and saith to them,


t:
And if I send them away fasting to their own houses, they will faint by the way: for some of them came from a distance.


t:
And he commanded the people to sit down on the ground: and he took the seven loaves, and gave thanks, and broke, and gave to his disciples to set before them; and they set them before the people.


t:
And the Pharisees came forth, and began to question with him, seeking from him a sign from heaven, tempting him.


t:
And he sighed deeply in his spirit, and saith, Why doth this generation seek for a sign? Verily I say to you, There shall no sign be given to this generation.


t:
Now the disciples had forgotten to take bread, neither had they in the boat with them more than one loaf.


t:
And he charged them saying, Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and of the leaven of Herod.


t:
And when Jesus knew it, he saith to them, Why reason ye, because ye have no bread? perceive ye not yet, neither understand? have ye your heart yet hardened?


t:
When I divided the five loaves among five thousand, how many baskets full of fragments took ye up? They say to him, Twelve.


t:
And he took the blind man by the hand, and led him out of the town; and when he had spit on his eyes, and put his hands upon him, he asked him if he saw aught.


t:
After that, he put his hands again upon his eyes, and made him look up: and he was restored, and saw every man clearly.


t:
And Jesus went out, and his disciples, into the towns of Cesarea Philippi: and by the way he asked his disciples, saying to them, Who do men say that I am?


t:
And he saith to them, But who say ye that I am? And Peter answereth and saith to him, Thou art the Christ.


t:
And he began to teach them, that the Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders, and the chief priests, and scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again.


t:
But when he had turned about, and looked on his disciples, he rebuked Peter, saying, Get thee behind me, Satan: for thou savorest not the things that are of God, but the things that are of men.


t:
And when he had called the people to him with his disciples also, he said to them, Whoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.


t:
For whoever will save his life, shall lose it; but whoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel's, the same shall save it.


t:
Whoever therefore shall be ashamed of me, and of my words, in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also will the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.


t:
And he said to them, Verily I say to you, that there are some of them that stand here who shall not taste death, till they have seen the kingdom of God come with power.


t:
And after six days, Jesus taketh with him Peter, and James, and John, and leadeth them up upon a high mountain apart by themselves; and he was transfigured before them.


t:
And Peter answered and said to Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here: and let us make three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah.


t:
And suddenly, when they had looked around, they saw no man any more, save Jesus only with themselves.


t:
And he answered and told them, Elijah verily cometh first, and restoreth all things; and how it is written concerning the Son of man, that he must suffer many things, and be set at naught.


t:
But I say to you, that Elijah is indeed come, and they have done to him whatever they pleased, as it is written concerning him.


t:
And immediately all the people, when they beheld him, were greatly amazed, and running to him, saluted him.


t:
And one of the multitude answered and said, Master, I have brought to thee my son, who hath a dumb spirit;


t:
And wherever he taketh him, he teareth him; and he foameth and gnasheth with his teeth, and pineth away; and I spoke to thy disciples that they should cast him out, and they could not.


t:
He answered him, and saith, O faithless generation, how long shall I be with you, how long shall I suffer you? bring him to me.


t:
And they brought him to him: and when he saw him, immediately the spirit tore him; and he fell on the ground, and wallowed, foaming.


t:
And often it hath cast him into the fire, and into the waters to destroy him: but if thou canst do any thing, have compassion on us, and help us.


t:
And immediately the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I believe; help thou my unbelief.


t:
When Jesus saw that the people came running together, he rebuked the foul spirit, saying to him, Thou dumb and deaf spirit, I charge thee, come out of him, and enter no more into him.


t:
And the spirit cried, and rent him severely, and came out of him: and he was as one dead; so that many said, He is dead.


t:
And when he had come into the house, his disciples asked him privately, Why could not we cast him out?


t:
For he taught his disciples, and said to them, The Son of man is delivered into the hands of men, and they will kill him; and after that he is killed, he will rise the third day.


t:
And he came to Capernaum: and being in the house, he asked them, What was it that ye disputed among yourselves by the way?


t:
And he sat down, and called the twelve, and saith to them, If any man desireth to be first, the same shall be last of all, and servant of all.


t:
And he took a child, and set him in the midst of them: and when he had taken him in his arms, he said to them,


t:
Whoever shall receive one of such children in my name, receiveth me: and whoever shall receive me, receiveth not me, but him that sent me.


t:
And John answered him, saying, Master, we saw one casting out demons in thy name, and he followeth not us; and we forbad him, because he followeth not us.


t:
But Jesus said, Forbid him not; for there is no man who shall do a miracle in my name, that can lightly speak evil of me.


t:
For whoever shall give you a cup of water to drink in my name, because ye belong to Christ, verily I say to you, he shall not lose his reward.


t:
And whoever shall cause one of these little ones that believe in me, to fall into sin, it is better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea.


t:
And if thy hand causeth thee to fall into sin, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched:


t:
And if thy foot causeth thee to fall into sin, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter halt into life, than having two feet to be cast into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched:


t:
And if thy eye causeth thee to fall into sin, pluck it out: it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes, to be cast into hell-fire.


t:
Salt is good: but if the salt hath lost its saltness, with what will ye season it? Have salt in yourselves, and have peace one with another.


t:
And he arose from thence, and cometh into the borders of Judea, by the further side of Jordan: and the people resort to him again; and, as he was accustomed, he taught them again.


t:
And he saith to them, Whoever shall put away his wife, and marry another, committeth adultery against her.


t:
And they brought young children to him, that he should touch them; and his disciples rebuked those that brought them.


t:
But when Jesus saw it, he was much displeased, and said to them, Suffer the little children to come to me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.


t:
Verily I say to you, Whoever shall not receive the kingdom of God, as a little child, he shall not enter it.


t:
And when he had gone forth into the way, there came one running, and kneeled to him, and asked him, Good Master, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?


t:
Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Defraud not, Honor thy father and mother.


t:
Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said to him, One thing thou lackest: go, sell whatever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven; and come, take up the cross, and follow me.


t:
And Jesus looked around, and saith to his disciples, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!


t:
And the disciples were astonished at his words. But Jesus answereth again, and saith to them, Children, how hard is it for them that trust in riches to enter into the kingdom of God!


t:
And Jesus looking upon them, saith, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible.


t:
Jesus answered and said, Verily I say to you, There is no man that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my sake, and the gospel's,


t:
But he shall receive a hundred-fold now in this time, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions; and in the world to come, eternal life.


t:
And they were in the way, going up to Jerusalem; and Jesus went before them: and they were amazed; and as they followed, they were afraid. And he took again the twelve, and began to tell them what things should happen to him,


t:
Saying, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man will be delivered to the chief priests, and to the scribes; and they will condemn him to death, and will deliver him to the Gentiles;


t:
And they will mock him, and will scourge him, and will spit upon him, and will kill him: and the third day he will rise again.


t:
And James and John the sons of Zebedee come to him, saying, Master, we would that thou shouldest do for us whatever we shall desire.


t:
They said to him, Grant to us that we may sit, one on thy right hand, and the other on thy left hand, in thy glory.


t:
But Jesus said to them, Ye know not what ye ask: can ye drink of the cup that I drink of? and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?


t:
And they said to him, We can. And Jesus said to them, Ye shall indeed drink of the cup that I drink of: and with the baptism that I am baptized with shalt ye be baptized;


t:
But to sit on my right hand and on my left hand, is not mine to give; but it shall be given to them for whom it is prepared.


t:
But Jesus called them, and saith to them, Ye know that they who are accounted to rule over the Gentiles, exercise lordship over them; and their great ones exercise authority upon them.


t:
For even the son of man came not to be ministered to, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.


t:
And they came to Jericho: and as he went out of Jericho with his disciples, and a great number of people, blind Bartimeus, the son of Timeus, sat by the highway-side begging.


t:
And Jesus stood still, and commanded him to be called: and they call the blind man, saying to him, Be of good comfort, rise; he calleth thee.


t:
And Jesus answered and said to him, What wilt thou that I should do to thee? The blind man said to him, Lord, that I may receive my sight.


t:
And Jesus said to him, Go, thy faith hath made thee whole. And immediately he received his sight, and followed Jesus in the way.


t:
And when they came nigh to Jerusalem, to Bethphage, and Bethany, at the mount of Olives, he sendeth forth two of his disciples,


t:
And saith to them, Go into the village over against you: and as soon as ye have entered into it, ye shall find a colt tied, on which never man sat; loose him, and bring him.


t:
And if any man shall say to you, Why do ye this? say ye that the Lord hath need of him; and immediately he will send him hither.


t:
And they went, and found the colt tied by the door without, in a place where two ways met; and they loose him.


t:
And many spread their garments in the way: and others cut down branches off trees, and strewed them in the way.


t:
And they that went before, and they that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.


t:
Blessed be the kingdom of our Father David, that cometh in the name of the Lord: Hosanna in the highest.


t:
And Jesus entered into Jerusalem, and into the temple: and when he had looked round upon all things, it being now evening, he went out to Bethany, with the twelve.


t:
And seeing a fig-tree afar off, having leaves, he came, if haply he might find any thing on it: and when he came to it, he found nothing but leaves: for the time of figs had not yet come.


t:
And Jesus answered and said to it, Let no man eat fruit of thee hereafter for ever. And his disciples heard it.


t:
And they come to Jerusalem: and Jesus went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the money-changers, and the seats of them that sold doves;


t:
And he taught, saying to them, Is it not written, My house shall be called by all nations the house of prayer? but ye have made it a den of thieves.


t:
And the scribes and chief priests heard it, and sought how they might destroy him: for they feared him, because all the people were astonished at his doctrine.


t:
And Peter calling to remembrance, saith to him, Master, behold, the fig-tree which thou cursedst is withered.


t:
For verily I say to you, that whoever shall say to this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that the things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatever he saith.


t:
Therefore I say to you, Whatever things ye desire when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.


t:
And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have aught against any: that your Father also who is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.


t:
And say to him, By what authority doest thou these things? and who gave thee this authority to do these things?


t:
And Jesus answered and said to them, I will also ask of you one question, and answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things.


t:
But if we shall say, from men; they feared the people: for all men counted John that he was a prophet indeed.


t:
And they answered and said to Jesus, We cannot tell. And Jesus answering saith to them, Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.


t:
And he began to speak to them by parables. A certain man planted a vineyard, and set a hedge about it, and digged a place for the wine-vat, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a far country.


t:
And again, he sent to them another servant: and at him they cast stones, and wounded him in the head, and sent him away shamefully handled.


t:
Having yet therefore one son, his well-beloved, he sent him also last to them, saying, They will reverence my son.


t:
But those husbandmen said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.


t:
What therefore will the Lord of the vineyard do? he will come and destroy the husbandmen, and will give the vineyard to others.


t:
And they sought to lay hold on him, but feared the people; for they knew that he had spoken the parable against them: and they left him, and departed.


t:
And when they had come, they say to him, Master, we know that thou art true, and carest for no man: for thou regardest not the person of men, but teachest the way of God in truth: Is it lawful to give tribute to Cesar, or not?


t:
Shall we give, or shall we not give? But he, knowing their hypocrisy, said to them, Why tempt ye me? bring me a penny, that I may see it.


t:
And they brought it: and he saith to them, Whose is this image and superscription? And they said to him, Cesar's.


t:
And Jesus answering, said to them, Render to Cesar the things that are Cesar's, and to God the things that are God's. And they wondered at him.


t:
Master, Moses wrote to us, If a man's brother shall die, and leave his wife, and leave no children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise seed to his brother.


t:
In the resurrection therefore, when they shall rise, whose wife shall she be of them? for the seven had her for a wife.


t:
And Jesus answering, said to them, Do ye not therefore err, because ye know not the scriptures, neither the power of God?


t:
For when they shall rise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage; but are as the angels who are in heaven.


t:
And concerning the dead that they rise; have ye not read in the book of Moses, how in the bush God spoke to him, saying, I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?


t:
And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord.


t:
And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself: there is no other commandment greater than these.


t:
And the scribe said to him, Well, Master, thou hast said the truth: for there is one God; and there is no other but he.


t:
And to love him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love his neighbor as himself, is more than all whole burnt-offerings and sacrifices.


t:
And when Jesus saw that he answered discreetly, he said to him, Thou art not far from the kingdom of God. And no man after that durst ask him any question.


t:
For David himself said by the Holy Spirit, The LORD said to my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thy enemies thy footstool.


t:
David therefore himself calleth him Lord, and whence is he then his son? and the common people heard him gladly.


t:
And he said to them in his doctrine, Beware of the scribes, who love to go in long clothing, and love salutations in the market-places,


t:
Who devour widows' houses, and for a pretense make long prayers: these shall receive greater damnation.


t:
And he called his disciples, and saith to them, Verily I say to you, that this poor widow hath cast in more, than all they who have cast into the treasury.


t:
For all they cast in of their abundance: but she of her want cast in all that she had, even all her living.


t:
And as he was going out of the temple, one of his disciples saith to him, Master, see what manner of stones, and what buildings are here!


t:
And Jesus answering said to him, Seest thou these great buildings? there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.


t:
And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, over against the temple, Peter, and James, and John, and Andrew, asked him privately,


t:
Tell us, when will these things be? and what will be the sign when all these things shall be fulfilled?


t:
And when ye shall hear of wars, and rumors of wars, be ye not troubled: for such things must needs be; but the end will not be yet.


t:
For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there will be earthquakes in divers places, and there will be famines, and troubles: these are the beginnings of sorrows.


t:
But take heed to yourselves: for they will deliver you up to councils; and in the synagogues ye will be beaten: and ye will be brought before rulers and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them.


t:
But when they shall lead you, and deliver you up, be not anxious beforehand what ye shall speak, neither do ye premeditate: but whatever shall be given you in that hour, that speak ye: for it is not ye that speak, but the Holy Spirit.


t:
Now the brother will betray the brother to death, and the father the son: and children will rise up against their parents, and will cause them to be put to death.


t:
And ye will be hated by all men for my name's sake: but he that shall endure to the end, the same shall be saved.


t:
But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, (let him that readeth understand) then let them that are in Judea flee to the mountains:


t:
And let him that is on the house-top not go down into the house, neither enter it, to take any thing out of his house:


t:
For in those days shall be affliction, such as hath not been from the beginning of the creation which God created to this time, neither shall be.


t:
And except the Lord had shortened those days, no flesh would be saved: but for the elect's sake, whom he hath chosen, he hath shortened the days.


t:
For false Christs, and false prophets will rise, and will show signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect.


t:
And then he will send his angels, and will assemble his elect from the four winds, from the uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost part of heaven.


t:
Now learn a parable of the fig-tree: When its branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is near:


t:
But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father.


t:
For the son of man is as a man taking a long journey, who left his house, and gave authority to his servants, and to every man his work; and commanded the porter to watch.


t:
Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the master of the house cometh, at evening, or at midnight, or at the cock-crowing, or in the morning:


t:
After two days was the feast of the passover, and of unleavened bread: and the chief priests, and the scribes, sought how they might take him by craft, and put him to death.


t:
And being in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper, as he sat at table, there came a woman having an alabaster box of ointment of spikenard, very precious; and she broke the box, and poured it on his head.


t:
For ye have the poor with you always, and whenever ye will ye may do them good: but me ye have not always.


t:
Verily I say to you, Wherever this gospel shall be preached throughout the whole world, this also that she hath done shall be spoken of, for a memorial of her.


t:
And the first day of unleavened bread, when they killed the passover, his disciples said to him, Where wilt thou that we go and prepare, that thou mayest eat the passover?


t:
And he sendeth two of his disciples, and saith to them, Go ye into the city, and there shall meet you a man bearing a pitcher of water: follow him.


t:
And wherever he shall go in, say ye to the master of the house, The Master saith, Where is the guest-chamber, where I may eat the passover with my disciples?


t:
And his disciples went, and came into the city, and found as he had said to them: and they made ready the passover.


t:
And as they sat, and were eating, Jesus said, Verily I say to you, One of you who eateth with me, will betray me.


t:
The Son of man indeed goeth, as it is written concerning him: but woe to that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! good were it for that man if he had never been born.


t:
And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed, and broke it, and gave to them, and said, Take, eat: this is my body.


t:
Verily I say to you, I will drink no more of the fruit of the vine, until that day that I drink it new in the kingdom of God.


t:
And Jesus saith to them, All ye will be offended because of me this night: for it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered.


t:
And Jesus saith to him, Verily I say to thee, that this day, even in this night, before the cock shall crow twice, thou wilt deny me thrice.


t:
But he spoke the more vehemently, If I should die with thee, I will not deny thee in any wise. Likewise also said they all.


t:
And he taketh with him Peter, and James, and John, and began to be greatly amazed, and to be very heavy;


t:
And he went forward a little, and fell on the ground, and prayed that, If it were possible, the hour might pass from him.


t:
And he said, Abba, Father, all things are possible to thee; take away this cup from me: nevertheless, not what I will, but what thou wilt.


t:
And he cometh, and findeth them sleeping, and saith to Peter, Simon, sleepest thou? couldst not thou watch one hour?


t:
And when he returned, he found them asleep again (for their eyes were heavy:) neither knew they what to answer him.


t:
And he cometh the third time, and saith to them, Sleep on now, and take your rest: it is enough, the hour is come; behold, the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.


t:
And immediately while he was yet speaking, cometh Judas, one of the twelve, and with him a great multitude with swords and staffs, from the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders.


t:
And he that betrayed him, had given them a token, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that same is he; take him, and lead him away safely.


t:
And Jesus answered and said to them, Have ye come out, as against a thief, with swords and with staffs to take me?


t:
I was daily with you in the temple, teaching, and ye took me not: but the scriptures must be fulfilled.


t:
And there followed him a certain young man, having a linen cloth cast about his naked body; and the young men laid hold on him.


t:
And they led Jesus away to the high priest: and with him were assembled all the chief priests, and the elders and the scribes.


t:
And Peter followed him at a distance, even into the palace of the high priest: and he sat with the servants, and warmed himself at the fire.


t:
And the chief priests, and all the council sought for testimony against Jesus to put him to death; and found none.


t:
And the high priest stood up in the midst, and asked Jesus, saying, Answerest thou nothing? what is it which these testify against thee?


t:
But he held his peace, and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked him, and said to him, Art thou the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?


t:
And some began to spit on him, and to cover his face, and to buffet him, and to say to him, Prophesy: and the servants struck him with the palms of their hands.


t:
But he denied, saying, I know not, neither do I understand what thou sayest. And he went out into the porch; and the cock crowed.


t:
And he denied it again. And a little after, they that stood by said again to Peter, Surely thou art one of them: for thou art a Galilean, and thy speech agreeth thereto.


t:
And the second time the cock crowed. And Peter called to mind the word that Jesus said to him, Before the cock shall crow twice, thou wilt deny me thrice. And when he thought thereon, he wept.


t:
And forthwith in the morning the chief priests held a consultation with the elders and scribes, and the whole council, and bound Jesus, and carried him away, and delivered him to Pilate.


t:
And Pilate asked him again, saying, Answerest thou nothing? behold how many things they testify against thee.


t:
And there was one named Barabbas, who lay bound with them that had made insurrection with him, who had committed murder in the insurrection.


t:
And Pilate answered, and said again to them, What will ye then that I shall do to him whom ye call the King of the Jews?


t:
Then Pilate said to them, Why, what evil hath he done? And they cried out the more exceedingly, Crucify him.


t:
And so Pilate, willing to content the people, released Barabbas to them, and having scourged Jesus, delivered him to be crucified.


t:
And the soldiers led him away into the hall, called Pretorium; and they call together the whole band;


t:
And they struck him on the head with a reed, and spit upon him, and bowing their knees, worshiped him.


t:
And they constrain one Simon, a Cyrenian, who was passing by, coming from the country, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to bear his cross.


t:
And they that passed by, railed on him, wagging their heads, and saying, Ah, thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days,


t:
Likewise also the chief priests mocking, said among themselves with the scribes, He saved others, himself he cannot save.


t:
Let Christ the king of Israel descend now from the cross, that we may see and believe. And they that were crucified with him, reviled him.


t:
And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eloi, Eloi, lama, sabacthani? which is, being interpreted, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?


t:
And one ran and filled a sponge full of vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink, saying, Let alone; let us see whether Elijah will come to take him down.


t:
And when the centurion who stood over against him, saw that he so cried out, and expired, he said, Truly this man was the Son of God.


t:
There were also women looking on at a distance, among whom was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the younger, and of Joses, and Salome;


t:
Who also, when he was in Galilee, followed him, and ministered to him; and many other women who came with him to Jerusalem.


t:
And now, when the evening was come, (because it was the preparation, that is, the day before the sabbath)


t:
Joseph of Arimathea, an honorable counselor, who also waited for the kingdom of God, came, and went in boldly to Pilate, and craved the body of Jesus.


t:
And Pilate wondered if he was already dead: and calling the centurion, he asked him whether he had been any while dead.


t:
And he bought fine linen, and took him down, and wrapped him in the linen, and laid him in a sepulcher which was hewn out of a rock, and rolled a stone to the door of the sepulcher.


t:
And very early in the morning, the first day of the week, they came to the sepulcher at the rising of the sun:


t:
And they said among themselves, Who shall roll away for us the stone from the door of the sepulcher?


t:
And entering into the sepulcher, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, clothed in a long white garment; and they were frightened.


t:
And he saith to them, Be not frightened: ye seek Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified: he is risen; he is not here: behold the place where they laid him:


t:
But go, tell his disciples and Peter, that he goeth before you into Galilee: there shall ye see him, as he said to you.


t:
And they went out quickly, and fled from the sepulcher; for they trembled, and were amazed: neither said they any thing to any man; for they were afraid.


t:
Now when Jesus was risen early, the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had cast seven demons.


t:
After that, he appeared in another form to two of them, as they were walking and going into the country.


t:
Afterward he appeared to the eleven, as they sat at table, and upbraided them with their unbelief, and hardness of heart, because they believed not them who had seen him after he was risen.


t:
And these signs shall follow them that believe: In my name shall they cast out demons; they shall speak in new languages;


t:
So then after the Lord had spoken to them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God.


t:
Even as they delivered them to us, who from the beginning were eye-witnesses, and ministers of the word;


t:
It seemed good to me also, having had perfect understanding of all things from the very first, to write to thee in order, most excellent Theophilus,


t:
There was in the days of Herod the king of Judea, a certain priest named Zacharias, of the course of Abia: and his wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elisabeth.


t:
And it came to pass, that, while he executed the priests' office before God in the order of his course,


t:
According to the custom of the priests' office, his lot was to burn incense when he went into the temple of the Lord.


t:
But the angel said to him, Fear not, Zacharias: for thy prayer is heard; and thy wife Elisabeth shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name John.


t:
For he shall be great in the sight of the Lord, and shall drink neither wine nor strong drink; and he shall be filled with the Holy Spirit, even from his mother's womb.


t:
And he shall go before him in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.


t:
And Zacharias said to the angel, By what shall I know this? for I am an old man, and my wife far advanced in years.


t:
And the angel answering, said to him, I am Gabriel, who stand in the presence of God; and am sent to speak to thee, and to show thee these glad tidings.


t:
And behold, thou shalt be dumb, and not able to speak, until the day that these things shall be performed, because thou believest not my words which shall be fulfilled in their season.


t:
And when he came out, he could not speak to them: and they perceived that he had seen a vision in the temple; for he beckoned to them, and remained speechless.


t:
And it came to pass, that as soon as the days of his ministration were accomplished, he departed to his own house.


t:
Thus hath the Lord dealt with me in the days in which he looked on me, to take away my reproach among men.


t:
And the angel came to her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favored, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women.


t:
He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Highest; and the Lord God will give to him the throne of his father David.


t:
And the angel answered and said to her, The Holy Spirit will come upon thee, and the power of the Highest will overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.


t:
And behold, thy cousin Elisabeth, she hath also conceived a son in her old age; and this is the sixth month with her who was called barren:


t:
And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord, be it to me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her.


t:
And it came to pass, that when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb: and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit.


t:
And she spoke with a loud voice, and said, Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb.


t:
For lo, as soon as the voice of thy salutation sounded in my ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy.


t:
And blessed is she that believed that there will be a performance of those things which were told her from the Lord.


t:
For he hath regarded the low estate of his handmaiden: for behold, from henceforth all generations will call me blessed.


t:
He hath shown strength with his arm; he hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.


t:
And her neighbors and her cousins heard that the Lord had shown great mercy upon her; and they rejoiced with her.


t:
And fear came on all that dwelt around them; and all these sayings were noised abroad throughout all the hill-country of Judea.


t:
And all they that had heard them, laid them up in their hearts, saying, What manner of child will this be! And the hand of the Lord was with him.


t:
That he would grant to us, that we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies, might serve him without fear,


t:
And thou, child, shalt be called the prophet of the Highest, for thou shalt go before the face of the Lord to prepare his ways;


t:
To give light to them that sit in darkness and in the shades of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace.


t:
And the child grew, and became strong in spirit, and was in the deserts till the day of his showing to Israel.


t:
And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Cesar Augustus, that all the world should be taxed.


t:
And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David)


t:
And she brought forth her first-born son, and wrapped him in swaddling-clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.


t:
And lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them; and they were in great fear.


t:
And the angel said to them, Fear not: for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which shall be to all people.


t:
And this shall be a sign to you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling-clothes, lying in a manger.


t:
And it came to pass, when the angels had departed from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even to Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known to us.


t:
And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told to them.


t:
And when eight days were accomplished for the circumcising of the child, his name was called JESUS, who was so named by the angel before he was conceived in the womb.


t:
(As it is written in the law of the Lord, Every male that is the first born of his mother shall be called holy to the Lord)


t:
And to offer a sacrifice according to that which is said in the law of the Lord, A pair of turtle-doves, or two young pigeons.


t:
And behold, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon; and the same man was just and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel: and the Holy Spirit was upon him.


t:
And it was revealed to him by the Holy Spirit, that he should not see death, before he had seen the Lord's Christ.


t:
And he came by the spirit into the temple; and when the parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for him after the custom of the law,


t:
And Simeon blessed them, and said to Mary his mother, Behold, this child is set for the fall and rising again of many in Israel; and for a sign which shall be spoken against;


t:
(And a sword shall pierce through thy own soul also) that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.


t:
And there was one Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher: she was of a great age, and had lived with a husband seven years from her virginity;


t:
And she was a widow of about eighty four years, who departed not from the temple, but served God with fastings and prayers night and day.


t:
And she coming in that instant, gave thanks likewise to the Lord, and spoke of him to all them that looked for redemption in Jerusalem.


t:
And the child grew, and became strong in spirit, filled with wisdom: and the grace of God was upon him.


t:
But they, supposing him to be in the company, went a day's journey; and they sought him among their relations and acquaintance.


t:
And when they saw him, they were amazed: and his mother said to him, Son, why hast thou thus dealt with us? behold, thy father and I have sought thee sorrowing.


t:
And he said to them, How is it that ye sought me? knew ye not that I must be about my Father's business?


t:
And he went down with them, and came to Nazareth, and was subject to them: but his mother kept all these sayings in her heart.


t:
Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Cesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judea, and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of Iturea and of the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanius the tetrarch of Abilene,


t:
Annas and Caiaphas being the high priests, the word of God came to John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness.


t:
And he came into all the country about Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance, for the remission of sins;


t:
As it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.


t:
Then said he to the multitude that came forth to be baptized by him, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?


t:
Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance, and begin not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham for our father: for I say to you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children to Abraham.


t:
And now also the ax is laid to the root of the trees: every tree therefore which bringeth not forth good fruit, is hewn down, and cast into the fire.


t:
He answereth and saith to them, He that hath two coats, let him impart to him that hath none; and he that hath provisions, let him do likewise.


t:
And the soldiers likewise asked him, saying, And what shall we do? And he said to them, Do violence to no man, neither accuse any falsely, and be content with your wages.


t:
And as the people were in expectation, and all men mused in their hearts concerning John, whether he was the Christ, or not;


t:
John answered, saying to them all, I indeed baptize you with water; but one mightier than I cometh, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose: he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit, and with fire:


t:
Whose fan is in his hand, and he will thoroughly cleanse his floor, and will gather the wheat into his granary; but the chaff he will burn with fire unquenchable.


t:
But Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him on account of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife, and for all the evils which Herod had done,


t:
And the Holy Spirit descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon him, and a voice came from heaven, which said, Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased.


t:
And Jesus himself began to be about thirty years of age, being (as was supposed) the son of Joseph, who was the son of Heli,


t:
Who was the son of Matthat, who was the son of Levi, who was the son of Melchi, who was the son of Janna, who was the son of Joseph,


t:
Who was the son of Mattathias, who was the son of Amos, who was the son of Naum, who was the son of Esli, who was the son of Nagge,


t:
Who was the son of Maath, who was the son of Mattathias, who was the son of Semei, who was the son of Joseph, who was the son of Juda,


t:
Who was the son of Joanna, who was the son of Rhesa, who was the son of Zorobabel, who was the son of Salathiel, who was the son of Neri,


t:
Who was the son of Melchi, who was the son of Addi, who was the son of Cosam, who was the son of Elmodam, who was the son of Er,


t:
Who was the son of Jose, who was the son of Eliezer, who was the son of Jorim, who was the son of Matthat, who was the son of Levi,


t:
Who was the son of Simeon, who was the son of Judah, who was the son of Joseph, who was the son of Jonan, who was the son of Eliakim,


t:
Who was the son of Melea, who was the son of Menan, who was the son of Mattatha, who was the son of Nathan, who was the son of David,


t:
Who was the son of Jesse, who was the son of Obed, who was the son of Booz, who was the son of Salmon, who was the son of Naasson,


t:
Who was the son of Aminadab, who was the son of Aram, who was the son of Esrom, who was the son of Phares, who was the son of Judah,


t:
Who was the son of Jacob, who was the son of Isaac, who was the son of Abraham, who was the son of Terah, who was the son of Nahor,


t:
Who was the son of Serug, who was the son of Reu, who was the son of Peleg, who was the son of Heber, who was the son of Sala,


t:
Who was the son of Cainan, who was the son of Arphaxad, who was the son of Shem, who was the son of Noah, who was the son of Lamech,


t:
Who was the son of Methuselah, who was the son of Enoch, who was the son of Jared, who was the son of Maleleel, who was the son of Cainan,


t:
And Jesus being full of the Holy Spirit, returned from Jordan, and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness,


t:
Being forty days tempted by the devil. And in those days he ate nothing; and when they were ended, he was afterward hungry.


t:
And the devil taking him up upon a high mountain, showed to him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.


t:
And the devil said to him, All this power will I give thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered to me, and to whomsoever I will, I give it.


t:
And Jesus answered and said to him, Get thee behind me, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.


t:
And he brought him to Jerusalem, and set him on a pinnacle of the temple, and said to him, If thou art the son of God, cast thyself down from hence.


t:
And Jesus returned in the power of the spirit into Galilee: and there went out a fame of him through all the surrounding region.


t:
And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the sabbath, and stood up to read.


t:
And there was delivered to him the book of the prophet Isaiah. And when he had opened the book, he found the place where it was written,


t:
The spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the broken-hearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,


t:
And all bore him testimony, and wondered at the gracious words which proceeded out of his mouth. And they said, Is not this Joseph's son?


t:
And he said to them, Ye will surely say to me this proverb, Physician, heal thyself: whatever we have heard done in Capernaum, do also here in thy country.


t:
But I tell you in truth, many widows were in Israel in the days of Elijah, when the heaven was shut three years and six months when great famine was throughout all the land:


t:
And many lepers were in Israel in the time of Elisha the prophet; and none of them was cleansed, saving Naaman the Syrian.


t:
And rose up, and thrust him out of the city, and led him to the brow of the hill on which their city was built, that they might cast him down headlong.


t:
And in the synagogue there was a man who had a spirit of an unclean demon; and he cried out with a loud voice,


t:
Saying, Let us alone; what have we to do with thee, Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art, the Holy One of God.


t:
And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of him. And when the demon had thrown him in the midst, he came out of him, and hurt him not.


t:
And they were all amazed, and spoke among themselves, saying, What a word is this! for with authority and power he commandeth the unclean spirits, and they come out.


t:
And he arose out of the synagogue, and entered into Simon's house. And the mother of Simon's wife was taken with a violent fever; and they besought him for her.


t:
And he stood over her, and rebuked the fever; and it left her: and immediately she arose and ministered to them.


t:
Now when the sun was setting, all they that had any sick with divers diseases, brought them to him: and he laid his hands on every one of them, and healed them.


t:
And demons also came out of many, crying out, and saying, Thou art Christ the Son of God. And he rebuking them, suffered them not to speak: for they knew that he was Christ.


t:
And when it was day, he departed, and went into a desert place; and the people sought him, and came to him, and stayed him, that he should not depart from them.


t:
And he said to them, I must preach the kingdom of God to other cities also, for therefore am I sent.


t:
And it came to pass, that as the people pressed upon him to hear the word of God, he stood by the lake of Gennesaret.


t:
And saw two boats standing by the lake: but the fishermen had gone out of them, and were washing their nets.


t:
And he entered into one of the boats, which was Simon's, and prayed him that he would thrust out a little from the land. And he sat down, and taught the people out of the boat.


t:
Now when he had left speaking, he said to Simon, Lanch out into the deep, and let down your nets for a draught.


t:
And Simon answering said to him, Master, we have toiled all the night, and have taken nothing; nevertheless, at thy word I will let down the net.


t:
And they beckoned to their partners, who were in the other boat, that they should come and help them. And they came, and filled both the boats, so that they began to sink.


t:
And so was also James and John the sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. And Jesus said to Simon, Fear not: from henceforth thou shalt catch men.


t:
And it came to pass, when he was in a certain city, behold, a man full of leprosy: who seeing Jesus, fell on his face, and besought him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.


t:
And he put forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will: Be thou clean. And immediately the leprosy departed from him.


t:
And he charged him to tell no man: but go, and show thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing, according as Moses commanded for a testimony to them.


t:
But so much the more a fame of him went abroad: and great multitudes came together to hear and to be healed by him of their infirmities.


t:
And it came to pass on a certain day, as he was teaching, that there were Pharisees and doctors of the law sitting by, who had come out of every town of Galilee, and Judea, and Jerusalem: and the power of the Lord was present to heal them.


t:
And behold, men brought in a bed a man who was taken with the palsy: and they sought means to bring him in, and to lay him before him.


t:
And when they could not find by what way they might bring him in, because of the multitude, they went upon the house-top, and let him down through the tiling with his couch, into the midst before Jesus.


t:
And the scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, Who is this who speaketh blasphemies? Who can forgive sins but God alone?


t:
But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power upon earth to forgive sins, He said to the sick with the palsy, I say to thee, Arise, and take up thy couch, and go into thy house.


t:
And immediately he arose before them, and took up that on which he lay, and departed to his own house, glorifying God.


t:
And they were all amazed, and they glorified God, and were filled with fear, saying, We have seen strange things to-day.


t:
And after these things he went forth, and saw a publican named Levi, sitting at the receipt of custom: and he said to him, Follow me.


t:
And Levi made him a great feast in his own house; and there was a great company of publicans, and of others that sat down with them.


t:
And they said to him, Why do the disciples of John fast often, and make prayers, and likewise the disciples of the Pharisees; but thine eat and drink?


t:
And he said to them, Can ye make the children of the bride-chamber fast, while the bridegroom is with them?


t:
And he spoke also a parable to them: No man putteth a piece of a new garment upon an old: if otherwise, then both the new maketh a rent, and the piece that was taken out of the new, agreeth not with the old.


t:
And no man putteth new wine into old bottles; else the new wine will burst the bottles, and be spilled, and the bottles will perish.


t:
And it came to pass on the second sabbath after the first, that he went through corn-fields; and his disciples plucked the ears of corn, and ate, rubbing them in their hands.


t:
And certain of the Pharisees said to them, Why do ye that which it is not lawful to do on the sabbath-days?


t:
And Jesus answering them, said, Have ye not read so much as this, what David did, when himself was hungry, and they who were with him;


t:
How he went into the house of God, and took and ate the show-bread, and gave also to them that were with him, which it is not lawful to eat but for the priests alone?


t:
And it came to pass also on another sabbath, that he entered into the synagogue, and taught: and there was a man whose right hand was withered:


t:
And the scribes and Pharisees watched him, to see whether he would heal on the sabbath; that they might find an accusation against him.


t:
But he knew their thoughts, and said to the man who had the withered hand, Rise, and stand forth in the midst. And he arose, and stood forth.


t:
Then said Jesus to them, I will ask you one thing; Is it lawful on the sabbath-days to do good, or to do evil? to save life, or to destroy it?


t:
And looking around upon them all, he said to the man, Stretch forth thy hand. And he did so: and his hand was restored whole as the other.


t:
And it came to pass in those days, that he went out to a mountain to pray, and continued all night in prayer to God.


t:
And when it was day, he called to him his disciples: and of them he chose twelve, whom also he named Apostles;


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


t:
And he came down with them, and stood in the plain; and the company of his disciples, and a great multitude of people out of all Judea and Jerusalem, and from the sea-coast of Tyre and Sidon, who came to hear him, and to be healed of their diseases;


t:
And he lifted up his eyes on his disciples, and said, Blessed are ye poor: for yours is the kingdom of God.


t:
Blessed are ye when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you from their company, and shall reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, on account of the son of man.


t:
Rejoice ye in that day, and leap for joy: for behold, your reward is great in heaven: for in the like manner did their fathers to the prophets.


t:
Woe to you that are full! for ye shall hunger. Woe to you that laugh now! for ye shall mourn and weep.


t:
And to him that smiteth thee on the one cheek, offer also the other; and him that taketh away thy cloke, forbid not to take thy coat also.


t:
And if ye do good to them who do good to you, what thanks have ye? for sinners also do even the same.


t:
And if ye lend to them from whom ye hope to receive, what thanks have ye? for sinners also lend to sinners, to receive as much in return.


t:
But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind to the unthankful and to the evil.


t:
Give, and it shall be given to you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye give to others, it shall be measured to you again.


t:
And he spoke a parable to them; Can the blind lead the blind? will they not both fall into the ditch?


t:
And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but perceivest not the beam that is in thy own eye?


t:
Either how canst thou say to thy brother, Brother, let me pull out the mote that is in thy eye, when thou thyself beholdest not the beam that is in thy own eye? Thou hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of thy own eye, and then shalt thou see clearly to pull out the mote that is in thy brother's eye.


t:
For every tree is known by its own fruit: for from thorns men do not gather figs, nor from a bramble bush do they gather grapes.


t:
A good man out of the good treasure of his heart, bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart, bringeth forth that which is evil: for from the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh.


t:
He is like a man who built a house, and digged deep, and laid the foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock.


t:
But he that heareth, and doeth not, is like a man that, without a foundation, built a house on the earth, against which the stream beat vehemently, and immediately it fell, and the ruin of that house was great.


t:
And when he heard of Jesus, he sent to him the elders of the Jews, beseeching him that he would come and heal his servant.


t:
And when they came to Jesus, they besought him earnestly, saying, That he was worthy for whom he should do this:


t:
Then Jesus went with them. And when he was now not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to him, saying to him, Lord, trouble not thyself: for I am not worthy that thou shouldest enter under my roof;


t:
Wherefore neither thought I myself worthy to come to thee; but say in a word, and my servant shall be healed.


t:
For I also am a man set under authority, having under me soldiers, and I say to one, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it.


t:
When Jesus heard these things, he marveled at him, and turned himself about and said to the people that followed him, I say to you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel.


t:
And it came to pass the day after, that he went into a city called Nain: and many of his disciples went with him, and many people.


t:
Now when he came nigh to the gate of the city, behold, there was a dead man carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow: and many people of the city were with her.


t:
And he came and touched the bier: And they that bore him stood still. And he said, Young man, I say to thee, Arise.


t:
And there came a fear on all: and they glorified God, saying, That a great prophet hath risen among us; and, That God hath visited his people.


t:
And John calling two of his disciples sent them to Jesus, saying, Art thou he that should come? or look we for another?


t:
When the men had come to him, they said, John the Baptist hath sent us to thee, saying, Art thou he that should come? or look we for another?


t:
And in that same hour he cured many of their infirmities, and diseases, and of evil spirits; and to many that were blind he gave sight.


t:
Then Jesus answering, said to them, Go, and tell John what things ye have seen and heard; that the blind see, the lame walk, lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, to the poor the gospel is preached.


t:
And when the messengers of John had departed, he began to speak to the people concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken with the wind?


t:
But what went ye out to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? behold, they who are gorgeously appareled, and live delicately, are in kings' courts.


t:
This is he, concerning whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee.


t:
For I say to you, Among those that are born of women, there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist: but he that is least in the kingdom of God, is greater than he.


t:
But the Pharisees and lawyers rejected the counsel of God against themselves, being not baptized by him.


t:
And the Lord said, To what then shall I liken the men of this generation? and to what are they like?


t:
They are like children sitting in the market-place, and calling one to another, and saying, We have piped to you, and ye have not danced; we have mourned to you, and ye have not wept.


t:
The Son of man is come eating and drinking; and ye say, Behold, a gluttonous man, and a wine-bibber, a friend of publicans and sinners.


t:
And one of the Pharisees desired him that he would eat with him. And he went into the Pharisee's house, and sat down at table.


t:
And behold, a woman in the city, who was a sinner, when she knew that Jesus sat at table in the Pharisee's house, brought an alabaster-box of ointment,


t:
And stood at his feet behind him weeping, and began to wash his feet with tears, and wiped them with the hairs of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment.


t:
Now when the Pharisee who had invited him, saw it, he spoke within himself, saying, This man, if he were a prophet, would have known who, and what manner of woman this is that toucheth him, for she is a sinner.


t:
And Jesus answering, said to him, Simon, I have somewhat to say to thee. And he saith, Master, speak.


t:
There was a certain creditor, who had two debtors: the one owed five hundred pence, and the other fifty.


t:
Simon answered and said, I suppose that he, to whom he forgave most. And he said to him, Thou hast rightly judged.


t:
And he turned to the woman, and said to Simon, Seest thou this woman? I entered into thy house, thou gavest me no water for my feet: but she hath washed my feet with tears, and wiped them with the hairs of her head.


t:
Wherefore I say to thee, Her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven, the same loveth little.


t:
And they that sat at table with him, began to say within themselves, Who is this that forgiveth sins also?


t:
And it came to pass afterward, that he went throughout every city and village, preaching and showing the glad tidings of the kingdom of God: and the twelve were with him,


t:
And certain women, who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities, Mary called Magdalene, out of whom went seven demons.


t:
And Joanna the wife of Chuza Herod's steward, and Susanna, and many others, who ministered to him of their substance.


t:
And some fell upon a rock; and as soon as it was sprung up, it withered, because it lacked moisture.


t:
And other fell on good ground, and sprang up, and bore fruit a hundred-fold. And when he had said these things, he cried, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.


t:
And he said, To you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to others in parables; that seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand.


t:
Those by the way side, are they that hear; then cometh the devil, and taketh away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved.


t:
They on the rock are they, who, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, who for a while believe, and in time of temptation fall away.


t:
And that which fell among thorns are they, who, when they have heard, go forth, and are choked with cares and riches and pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to perfection.


t:
But that on the good ground are they, who in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience.


t:
No man, when he hath lighted a candle, covereth it with a vessel, or putteth it under a bed; but setteth it on a candlestick, that they who enter in may see the light.


t:
For nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest; neither any thing hid, that shall not be known, and come abroad.


t:
Take heed therefore how ye hear: for whoever hath, to him shall be given; and whoever hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he seemeth to have.


t:
And it was told to him by certain, who said, Thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to see thee.


t:
And he answered and said to them, My mother and my brethren are these who hear the word of God, and do it.


t:
Now it came to pass on a certain day, that he went into a boat with his disciples: and he said to them, Let us go over to the other side of the lake. And they lanched forth.


t:
But as they sailed, he fell asleep: and there came down a storm of wind on the lake; and they were filled with water, and were in jeopardy.


t:
And they came to him, and awoke him, saying, Master, master, we perish. Then he arose, and rebuked the wind, and the raging of the water: and they ceased, and there was a calm.


t:
And he said to them, Where is your faith? And they being afraid, wondered, saying one to another, What manner of man is this! for he commandeth even the winds and water, and they obey him.


t:
And when he went forth to land, there met him out of the city a certain man, who had demons a long time, and wore no clothes, neither abode in any house, but in the tombs.


t:
When he saw Jesus, he cried out, and fell down before him, and with a loud voice said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God most high? I beseech thee torment me not.


t:
(For he had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. For often it had caught him, and he was kept bound with chains, and in fetters: and he broke the bands, and was driven by the demon into the wilderness.)


t:
And Jesus asked him, saying, What is thy name? And he said, Legion: because many demons had entered into him.


t:
And there was there a herd of many swine feeding on the mountain: and they besought him that he would suffer them to enter into them. And he suffered them.


t:
Then the demons went out of the man, and entered into the swine: and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the lake, and were choked.


t:
Then they went out to see what was done; and came to Jesus, and found the man out of whom the demons had departed, sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed, and in his right mind: and they were afraid.


t:
Then the whole multitude of the surrounding country of the Gadarenes, besought him to depart from them: for they were taken with great fear. And he went into the boat, and returned.


t:
Now the man out of whom the demons had departed, besought him that he might be with him. But Jesus sent him away, saying,


t:
Return to thy own house, and show how great things God hath done to thee. And he went away and published throughout the whole city, how great things Jesus had done to him.


t:
And it came to pass, that, when Jesus had returned, the people gladly received him: for they were all waiting for him.


t:
And behold, there came a man named Jairus, and he was a ruler of the synagogue: and he fell down at the feet of Jesus, and besought him that he would come into his house:


t:
For he had one daughter only, about twelve years of age, and she lay dying. (But as he was going, the people thronged him.


t:
And a woman having an issue of blood twelve years, who had spent all her living upon physicians, neither could be healed by any,


t:
And Jesus said, Who touched me? When all denied, Peter, and they that were with him, said, Master, the multitude throng thee, and press thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me?


t:
And when the woman saw that she was not hid, she came trembling, and falling down before him, she declared to him before all the people for what cause she had touched him, and how she was healed immediately.


t:
While he was yet speaking, there cometh one from the house of the ruler of the synagogue, saying to him, Thy daughter is dead: trouble not the Master.


t:
Then he called his twelve disciples together, and gave them power and authority over all demons, and to cure diseases.


t:
And he said to them, Take nothing for your journey, neither staffs, nor bag, neither bread, neither money; neither have two coats apiece.


t:
And whoever will not receive you, when ye go out of that city, shake off the very dust from your feet for a testimony against them.


t:
Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was done by him: and he was perplexed, because that it was said by some, that John had risen from the dead;


t:
And by some, that Elijah had appeared; and by others, that one of the ancient prophets had risen again.


t:
And Herod said, John have I beheaded; but who is this of whom I hear such things? And he desired to see him.


t:
And the apostles, when they had returned, told him all that they had done. And he took them, and went aside privately into a desert place, belonging to the city called Bethsaida.


t:
And the people, when they knew it, followed him: and he received them, and spoke to them of the kingdom of God, and healed them that had need of healing.


t:
And when the day began to decline, then came the twelve, and said to him, Send the multitude away, that they may go into the towns and country around, and lodge, and get victuals: for we are here in a desert place.


t:
But he said to them, Give ye them to eat. And they said, We have no more than five loaves and two fishes; except we should go and buy provisions for all this people.


t:
Then he took the five loaves, and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed them, and broke, and gave to the disciples to set before the multitude.


t:
And they ate, and were all satisfied: and there was taken up of fragments that remained to them, twelve baskets.


t:
And it came to pass, as he was in retirement praying, his disciples were with him; and he asked them, saying, Who say the people that I am?


t:
They answering, said, John the Baptist; but some say, Elijah; and others say, that one of the ancient prophets is risen again.


t:
Saying, The Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders, and chief priests, and scribes, and be put to death, and be raised the third day.


t:
For whoever will save his life, shall lose it: but whoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it.


t:
For whoever shall be ashamed of me, and of my words, of him will the Son of man be ashamed, when he shall come in his own glory, and in that of his Father, and of the holy angels.


t:
But I tell you in truth, there are some standing here who shall not taste death till they see the kingdom of God.


t:
And it came to pass, about eight days after these sayings, he took Peter, and John, and James, and went up upon a mountain to pray.


t:
And as he prayed, the fashion of his countenance was altered, and his raiment was white and glistening.


t:
And it came to pass, as they departed from him, Peter said to Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here: and let us make three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah: not knowing what he said.


t:
While he was thus speaking, there came a cloud and overshadowed them: and they feared as they entered into the cloud.


t:
And it came to pass, that on the next day, when they had come down from the hill, many people met him.


t:
And behold, a man of the company cried out, saying, Master, I beseech thee look upon my son: for he is my only child.


t:
And lo, a spirit taketh him, and he suddenly crieth out; and it teareth him that he foameth, and bruising him, hardly departeth from him.


t:
And Jesus answering, said, O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you, and suffer you? Bring thy son hither.


t:
And as he was yet coming, the demon threw him down, and tore him. And Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the child, and delivered him again to his father.


t:
And they were all amazed at the mighty power of God. But while they were all wondering at all things which Jesus did, he said to his disciples,


t:
Let these sayings sink down into your ears: for the Son of man will be delivered into the hands of men.


t:
But they understood not this saying, and it was hid from them, that they perceived it not: and they feared to ask him concerning that saying.


t:
And said to them, Whoever shall receive this child in my name, receiveth me; and whoever shall receive me, receiveth him that sent me: for he that is least among you all, the same shall be great.


t:
And John answered and said, Master, we saw one casting out demons in thy name; and we forbad him, because he followeth not with us.


t:
And it came to pass, when the time was come that he should be received up, he steadfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem,


t:
And sent messengers before his face: and they went and entered into a village of the Samaritans, to make ready for him.


t:
And when his disciples James and John saw this, they said, Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven, and consume them, even as Elijah did?


t:
And it came to pass, that as they were going in the way, a certain man said to him, Lord, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest.


t:
And Jesus said to him, Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head.


t:
And another also said, Lord, I will follow thee; but let me first go and bid them farewell who are at my house.


t:
And Jesus said to him, No man having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.


t:
After these things, the Lord appointed other seventy also, and sent them two and two before his face into every city, and place, whither he himself would come.


t:
Therefore said he to them, The harvest truly is great, but the laborers are few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth laborers into his harvest.


t:
And in the same house remain, eating and drinking such things as they give: for the laborer is worthy of his hire. Go not from house to house.


t:
But into whatever city ye enter, and they receive you not, go out into the streets of the same, and say,


t:
Even the very dust of your city which cleaveth on us, we do wipe off against you: notwithstanding, be ye sure of this, that the kingdom of God is come nigh to you.


t:
Woe to thee, Chorazin! woe to thee Bethsaida! for if the mighty works had been done in Tyre and Sidon, which have been done in you, they had a great while ago repented sitting in sackcloth and ashes.


t:
He that heareth you, heareth me; and he that despiseth you, despiseth me; and he that despiseth me, despiseth him that sent me.


t:
Behold, I give to you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.


t:
Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject to you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven.


t:
In that hour Jesus rejoiced in spirit, and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them to babes: even so, Father; for so it seemed good in thy sight.


t:
All things are delivered to me by my Father: and no man knoweth who the Son is, but the Father; and who the Father is, but the Son, and he to whom the Son will reveal him.


t:
And he turned himself to his disciples, and said privately, Blessed are the eyes which see the things that ye see.


t:
For I tell you, that many prophets and kings have desired to see the things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear the things which ye hear, and have not heard them.


t:
And behold, a certain lawyer stood up, and tempted him, saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?


t:
And Jesus answering said, A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among robbers, who stripped him of his raiment, and wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead.


t:
And by chance there came down a certain priest that way; and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.


t:
But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came were he was: and when he saw him, he had compassion on him,


t:
And on the morrow, when he departed, he took out two pence, and gave them to the host, and said to him, Take care of him: and whatever thou spendest more, when I come again, I will repay thee.


t:
Now it came to pass, as they were going, he entered into a certain village: and a certain woman, named Martha, received him into her house.


t:
And Jesus answered, and said to her, Martha, Martha, thou art anxious, and troubled about many things:


t:
But one thing is needful; and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her.


t:
And it came to pass, that as he was praying in a certain place, when he ceased, one of his disciples said to him, Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples.


t:
And he said to them, When ye pray, say, Our Father who art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so on earth.


t:
And he said to them, Which of you shall have a friend, and shall go to him at midnight, and say to him, Friend, lend me three loaves:


t:
I say to you, Though he will not rise and give him, because he is his friend, yet because of his importunity he will rise and give him as many as he needeth.


t:
And I say to you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and the door shall be opened to you.


t:
If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? or if he shall ask a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent?


t:
If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children: how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?


t:
And he was casting out a demon, and it was dumb. And it came to pass when the demon was gone out, the dumb spoke; and the people wondered.


t:
But he, knowing their thoughts, said to them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and a house divided against a house falleth.


t:
If Satan also is divided against himself, how shall his kingdom stand? because ye say that I cast out demons through Beelzebub.


t:
But when a stronger than he shall come upon him, and overcome him, he taketh from him all his armor in which he trusted, and divideth his spoils.


t:
When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest: and finding none, he saith, I will return to my house whence I came out.


t:
Then he goeth and taketh to him seven other spirits more wicked than himself; and they enter in, and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first.


t:
And it came to pass, as he was speaking these things, a certain woman of the company lifted up her voice, and said to him, Blessed is the womb that bore thee, and the paps which nourished thee.


t:
And when the people were assembled in crowds, he began to say, This is an evil generation: they seek a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of Jonah the prophet.


t:
The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with the men of this generation, and condemn them: for she came from the utmost parts of the earth, to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and behold, a greater than Solomon is here.


t:
The men of Nineveh shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and behold, a greater than Jonah is here.


t:
No man when he hath lighted a candle, putteth it in a secret place, neither under a close vessel, but on a candlestick, that they who come in may see the light.


t:
The light of the body is the eye: therefore when thy eye is single, thy whole body also is full of light; but when thy eye is evil, thy body also is full of darkness.


t:
If thy whole body therefore be full of light, having no part dark, the whole shall be full of light; as when the bright shining of a candle doth give thee light.


t:
And as he was speaking, a certain Pharisee besought him to dine with him: and he went in, and sat down to eat.


t:
And the Lord said to him, Now do ye Pharisees make clean the outside of the cup and the platter; but your inward part is full of ravening and wickedness.


t:
But woe to you, Pharisees! for ye tithe mint, and rue, and all manner of herbs, and pass over judgment and the love of God: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the others undone.


t:
Woe to you, Pharisees! for ye love the uppermost seats in the synagogues, and greetings in the markets.


t:
Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are as graves which appear not, and the men that walk over them are not aware of them.


t:
And he said, Woe to you also, ye lawyers, for ye load men with burdens grievous to be borne, and ye yourselves touch not the burdens with one of your fingers.


t:
Truly ye bear testimony, that ye allow the deeds of your fathers: for they indeed killed them, and ye build their sepulchers.


t:
Therefore also said the wisdom of God, I will send them prophets and apostles, and some of them they will slay and persecute:


t:
That the blood of all the prophets, which hath been shed from the foundation of the world, may be required of this generation;


t:
From the blood of Abel to the blood of Zacharias, who perished between the altar and the temple: verily I say to you, It shall be required of this generation.


t:
Woe to you, lawyers! for ye have taken away the key of knowledge: ye have not entered in yourselves, and them that were entering in ye hindered.


t:
And as he said these things to them, the scribes and the Pharisees began to urge him vehemently, and to solicit him to speak of many things;


t:
In the mean time, when there was gathered an innumerable multitude of people, so that they trod one upon another, he began to say to his disciples first of all, Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.


t:
Therefore, whatever ye have spoken in darkness, shall be heard in the light; and that which ye have spoken in the ear in closets, shall be proclaimed upon the house-tops.


t:
And I say to you, my friends, Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do.


t:
But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, who after he hath killed, hath power to cast into hell; yes, I say to you, Fear him.


t:
Also I say to you, Whoever shall confess me before men, him will the Son of man also confess before the angels of God.


t:
And whoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but to him that blasphemeth against the Holy Spirit, it shall not be forgiven.


t:
And when they bring you to the synagogues, and before magistrates, and powers, be not solicitous how or what thing ye shall answer, or what ye shall say:


t:
And one of the company said to him, Master, speak to my brother, that he divide the inheritance with me.


t:
And he said to them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.


t:
And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no room where to deposit my fruits?


t:
And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I deposit all my fruits and my goods.


t:
And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast abundance of goods laid up for many years; take thy ease, eat, drink, and be merry.


t:
But God said to him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be which thou hast provided?


t:
And he said to his disciples, Therefore I say to you, Be not anxious for your life, what ye shall eat; neither for the body, what ye shall put on.


t:
Consider the ravens: for they neither sow nor reap: which neither have store-house, nor barn; and God feedeth them: How much more are ye better than the fowls?


t:
Consider the lilies how they grow: They toil not, they spin not; and yet I say to you, that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.


t:
If then God so clothe the grass, which is to-day in the field, and to-morrow is cast into the oven; how much more will he clothe you, O ye of little faith?


t:
Sell what ye have, and give alms: provide yourselves bags which become not old, a treasure in the heavens that faileth not, where no thief approacheth, neither moth corrupteth.


t:
And ye yourselves like men that wait for their lord, when he shall return from the wedding; that, when he cometh and knocketh, they may open to him immediately.


t:
Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching: verily I say to you, that he will gird himself, and make them to sit down to eat, and will come forth and serve them.


t:
And this know, that if the master of the house knew at what hour the thief would come, he would watch, and not suffer his house to be broken through.


t:
And the Lord said, Who then is that faithful and wise steward, whom his lord shall make ruler over his household, to give them their portion of provisions in due season?


t:
But if that servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; and shall begin to beat the men-servants, and maidens, and to eat and drink, and to be drunken?


t:
The lord of that servant will come in a day when he looketh not for him, and at an hour when he is not aware, and will cut him asunder, and will appoint him his portion with the unbelievers.


t:
And that servant who knew his lord's will, and prepared not himself, neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes.


t:
But he that knew not, and committed things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For to whomsoever much is given, of him shall much be required: and to whom men have committed much, from him they will ask the more.


t:
For from henceforth there will be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three.


t:
The father will be divided against the son, and the son against the father; the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother; the mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law, and the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.


t:
And he said also to the people, When ye see a cloud rising in the west, immediately ye say, There cometh a shower; and so it is.


t:
Ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky, and of the earth; but how is it, that ye do not discern this time?


t:
When thou goest with thy adversary to the magistrate, as thou art in the way, give diligence that thou mayest be delivered from him; lest he draw thee before the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and the officer cast thee into prison.


t:
There were present at that season some that told him of the Galileans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices.


t:
And Jesus answering, said to them, Suppose ye that these Galileans were sinners above all the Galileans, because they suffered such things?


t:
Or those eighteen, upon whom the tower in Siloam fell, and killed them, think ye that they were sinners above all men that dwelt in Jerusalem?


t:
He spoke also this parable: A certain man had a fig-tree planted in his vineyard; and he came and sought fruit on it, and found none.


t:
Then said he to the dresser of his vineyard, Behold, these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig-tree, and find none: cut it down; why cumbereth it the ground?


t:
And he answering, said to him, Lord, let it alone this year also, till I shall dig about it, and dung it:


t:
And behold, there was a woman who had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and was bowed together, and could in no wise raise herself.


t:
And when Jesus saw her, he called her to him, and said to her, Woman, thou art loosed from thy infirmity.


t:
And the ruler of the synagogue answered with indignation, because Jesus had healed on the sabbath, and said to the people, There are six days in which men ought to work: in them therefore come and be healed, and not on the sabbath.


t:
And ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan hath bound, lo, these eighteen years, to be loosed from this bond on the Sabbath?


t:
It is like a grain of mustard-seed, which a man took, and cast into his garden, and it grew, and became a great tree; and the fowls of the air lodged in the branches of it.


t:
Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say to you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able.


t:
When once the master of the house hath risen, and hath shut the door, and ye begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us; and he will answer and say to you, I know you not whence ye are:


t:
Then ye will begin to say, We have eaten and drank in thy presence, and thou hast taught in our streets.


t:
But he will say, I tell you, I know you not whence ye are: depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity.


t:
There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth when ye shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets in the kingdom of God, and you yourselves excluded.


t:
And they will come from the east, and from the west, and from the north, and from the south, and will sit down in the kingdom of God.


t:
The same day there came certain of the Pharisees, saying to him, Go out, and depart hence; for Herod will kill thee.


t:
And he said to them, Go ye and tell that fox, Behold, I cast out demons, and I do cures to-day and to-morrow, and the third day I shall be perfected.


t:
Nevertheless, I must walk to-day and to-morrow, and the day following: for it cannot be that a prophet should perish out of Jerusalem.


t:
O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, that killest the prophets, and stonest them that are sent to thee; how often would I have gathered thy children, as a hen gathereth her brood under her wings, and ye would not!


t:
Behold, your house is left to you desolate. And verily I say to you, ye shall not see me, until the time shall come when ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.


t:
And it came to pass, as he went into the house of one of the chief Pharisees to eat bread on the sabbath, that they watched him.


t:
And Jesus answering, spoke to the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath?


t:
And answered them, saying, Which of you shall have an ass or an ox fallen into a pit, and will not forthwith pull him out on the sabbath?


t:
And he put forth a parable to those who were invited, when he marked how they chose out the chief rooms; saying to them,


t:
When thou art invited by any man to a wedding, sit not down in the highest room, lest a more honorable man than thou be invited by him;


t:
And he that invited thee and him, shall come and say to thee, Give this man place; and thou begin with shame to take the lowest room.


t:
But when thou art invited, go and sit down in the lowest room; that when he that invited thee cometh, he may say to thee, Friend, go up higher: then shalt thou have honor in the presence of them that sit at table with thee.


t:
Then said he also to him that invited him, When thou makest a dinner or a supper, call not thy friends, nor thy brethren, neither thy kinsmen, nor thy rich neighbors; lest they also invite thee again, and a recompense be made thee.


t:
And thou shalt be blessed: for they cannot recompense thee: for thou shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the just.


t:
And when one of them that sat at table with him heard these things, he said to him, Blessed is he that shall eat bread in the kingdom of God.


t:
And sent his servant at supper-time, to say to them that were invited, Come, for all things are now ready.


t:
And they all with one consent began to make excuse. The first said to him, I have bought a piece of ground, and I must needs go and see it: I pray thee have me excused.


t:
So that servant came, and showed his lord these things. Then the master of the house being angry, said to his servant, Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in hither the poor, and the maimed, and the halt, and the blind.


t:
And the lord said to the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled.


t:
If any man cometh to me, and hateth not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.


t:
For which of you intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he hath sufficient to finish it?


t:
Lest perhaps after he hath laid the foundation, and is not able to finish it, all that behold it begin to mock him,


t:
Or what king going to make war against another king, sitteth not down first, and consulteth whether he is able with ten thousand to meet him that cometh against him with twenty thousand?


t:
Or else, while the other is yet a great way off, he sendeth an embassy, and desireth conditions of peace.


t:
It is neither fit for the land, nor yet for the dunghill, but men cast it out. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.


t:
What man of you having a hundred sheep, if he loseth one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he findeth it?


t:
And when he cometh home, he calleth together his friends and neighbors, saying to them, Rejoice with me; for I have found my sheep which was lost.


t:
I say to you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, who need no repentance.


t:
Either what woman having ten pieces of silver, if she loseth one piece, doth not light a candle, and sweep the house, and seek diligently till she findeth it?


t:
And when she hath found it, she calleth her friends and her neighbors together, saying, Rejoice with me; for I have found the piece which I had lost.


t:
Likewise, I say to you, There is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth.


t:
And the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me. And he divided to them his living.


t:
And not many days after, the younger son gathered all together, and took his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance with riotous living.


t:
And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine did eat; and no man gave to him.


t:
And when he came to himself, he said, How many hired servants of my father have bread enough and to spare, and I am perishing with hunger!


t:
I will arise and go to my father, and will say to him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee,


t:
And the son said to him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son.


t:
But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and put it on him, and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet:


t:
And he said to him, Thy brother is come; and thy father hath killed the fatted calf, because he hath received him in health.


t:
And he answering, said to his father, Lo, these many years do I serve thee, neither have I at any time transgressed thy commandment; and yet thou never gavest me a kid, that I might make merry with my friends:


t:
But as soon as this thy son had come, who hath devoured thy living with harlots, thou hast killed for him the fatted calf.


t:
And he said also to his disciples, There was a certain rich man who had a steward; and the same was accused to him that he had wasted his goods.


t:
And he called him, and said to him, How is it that I hear this of thee? give an account of thy stewardship: for thou mayest be no longer steward.


t:
Then the steward said within himself, What shall I do? for my lord taketh from me the stewardship: I cannot dig; I am ashamed to beg.


t:
I am resolved what to do, that when I am removed from the stewardship, they may receive me into their houses.


t:
So he called every one of his lord's debtors, and said to the first, How much owest thou to my lord?


t:
And he said, A hundred measures of oil. And he said to him, Take thy bill, and sit down quickly, and write fifty.


t:
Then said he to another, And how much owest thou? And he said, A hundred measures of wheat. And he said to him, Take thy bill, and write eighty.


t:
And I say to you, Make to yourselves friends of the mammon of unrighteousness; that when ye fail, they may receive you into everlasting habitations.


t:
He that is faithful in that which is least, is faithful also in much; and he that is unjust in the least, is unjust also in much.


t:
And if ye have not been faithful in that which is another man's, who will give you that which is your own?


t:
And he said to them, Ye are they who justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men, is abomination in the sight of God.


t:
Whoever putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery; and whoever marrieth her that is put away from her husband, committeth adultery.


t:
There was a certain rich man, who was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day:


t:
And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table: moreover, the dogs came and licked his sores.


t:
And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by angels into Abraham's bosom. The rich man also died, and was buried:


t:
And in hell he lifted up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.


t:
And he cried, and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue: for I am tormented in this flame.


t:
But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy life-time receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented.


t:
And besides all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they who would pass from hence to you, cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence.


t:
For I have five brethren; that he may testify to them, lest they also come into this place of torment.


t:
And he said to him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one shall rise from the dead.


t:
Then he said to the disciples, It is impossible but that causes of sin will come: but woe to him by whom they come!


t:
It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should cause one of these little ones to fall into sin.


t:
Take heed to yourselves: If thy brother shall trespass against thee, rebuke him; and if he shall repent forgive him.


t:
And if he shall trespass against thee seven times in a day, and seven times in a day shall turn again to thee, saying, I repent; thou shalt forgive him.


t:
And the Lord said, If ye had faith as a grain of mustard-seed, ye might say to this sycamine-tree, Be thou plucked up by the root, and be thou planted in the sea; and it would obey you.


t:
But which of you having a servant plowing, or feeding cattle, will say to him immediately, when he is come from the field, Go and sit down to eat?


t:
And will not rather say to him, Make ready wherewith I may sup, and gird thyself, and serve me, till I have eaten and drank; and afterward thou shalt eat and drink?


t:
So likewise ye, when ye shall have done all the things which are commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants: we have done that which it was our duty to do.


t:
And as he entered into a certain village, there met him ten men that were lepers, who stood at a distance.


t:
And when he saw them, he said to them, Go, show yourselves to the priests. And it came to pass, that as they were going, they were cleansed.


t:
And when he was asked by the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation.


t:
And he said to his disciples, The days will come, when ye will desire to see one of the days of the son of man, and ye shall not see it.


t:
For as the lightning that lighteneth from the one part under heaven, shineth to the other part under heaven; so shall also the Son of man be in his day.


t:
They ate, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark; and the flood came, and destroyed them all.


t:
Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot: they ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built;


t:
But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom, it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all:


t:
In that day, he who shall be upon the house-top, and his furniture in the house, let him not come down to take it away: and he that is in the field, let him likewise not return back.


t:
Whoever shall seek to save his life, shall lose it; and whoever shall lose his life, shall preserve it.


t:
I tell you, in that night there will be two men in one bed; the one will be taken, and the other will be left.


t:
And they answered and said to him, Where Lord? And he said to them, Wherever the body is, thither will the eagles be collected.


t:
And will not God avenge his own elect, who cry day and night to him, though he beareth long with them?


t:
I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of man cometh, will he find faith on the earth?


t:
And he spoke this parable to certain who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others:


t:
And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes to heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner.


t:
And they brought to him also infants, that he would touch them: but when his disciples saw it, they rebuked them.


t:
But Jesus called them to him, and said, Suffer little children to come to me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.


t:
Verily I say to you, Whoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, shall in no wise enter into it.


t:
Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honor thy father and thy mother.


t:
Now when Jesus heard these things, he said to him, Yet lackest thou one thing: sell all that thou hast, and distribute to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me.


t:
And when Jesus saw that he was very sorrowful, he said, How hardly will they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!


t:
And he said to them, Verily I say to you, there is no man that hath left house, or parents, or brethren, or wife, or children for the sake of the kingdom of God,


t:
Then he took the twelve, and said to them, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and all things that are written by the prophets concerning the Son of man shall be accomplished.


t:
For he will be delivered to the Gentiles, and will be mocked, and spitefully treated, and spitted on;


t:
And it came to pass, that as he had come nigh to Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the way side begging;


t:
And they who went before rebuked him, that he should hold his peace: but he cried so much the more, Thou son of David, have mercy on me.


t:
And immediately he received his sight, and followed him, glorifying God: and all the people, when they saw it, gave praise to God.


t:
And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up, and saw him, and said to him, Zaccheus, make haste, and come down: for to-day I must abide at thy house.


t:
And Zaccheus stood, and said to the Lord; Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have taken any thing from any man by false accusation, I restore him four-fold.


t:
And Jesus said to him, This day is salvation come to this house, forasmuch as he also is a son of Abraham.


t:
And as they heard these things, he added and spoke a parable, because he was nigh to Jerusalem, and because they thought that the kingdom of God would immediately appear.


t:
And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said to them, Occupy till I come.


t:
And it came to pass, that when he had returned, having received the kingdom, then he commanded these servants to be called to him, to whom he had given the money, that he might know how much every man had gained by trading.


t:
And he said to him, Well, thou good servant: because thou hast been faithful in a very little, have thou authority over ten cities.


t:
For I feared thee, because thou art an austere man: thou takest up what thou layedst not down, and reapest what thou didst not sow.


t:
And he saith to him, Out of thy own mouth will I judge thee, thou wicked servant. Thou knewest me to be an austere man, taking up what I laid not down, and reaping what I did not sow:


t:
Why then gavest thou not my money into the bank, that at my coming I might have required my own with interest?


t:
And he said to them that stood by, Take from him the pound, and give it to him that hath ten pounds.


t:
For I say to you, That to every one who hath shall be given; and from him that hath not, even what he hath shall be taken away from him.


t:
But those my enemies, who would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me.


t:
And it came to pass, when he had come nigh to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount called the mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples,


t:
Saying, Go ye into the village over against you; in which at your entering ye will find a colt tied, on which yet never man sat: loose him, and bring him hither.


t:
And if any man shall ask you, Why do ye loose him? thus shall ye say to him, Because the Lord hath need of him.


t:
And they brought him to Jesus: and they cast their garments upon the colt, and they set Jesus upon him.


t:
And when he had come nigh, even now at the descent of the mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice, for all the mighty works that they had seen.


t:
Saying, Blessed be the King that cometh in the name of the Lord: Peace in heaven, and glory in the highest.


t:
And he answered and said to them, I tell you, that if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out.


t:
Saying, If thou hadst known, even thou, at least in this thy day, the things which belong to thy peace! but now they are hid from thy eyes.


t:
For the days shall come upon thee, that thy enemies shall cast a trench about thee, and encompass thee, and keep thee in on every side,


t:
And shall lay thee even with the ground, and thy children within thee: and they shall not leave in thee one stone upon another: because thou knewest not the time of thy visitation.


t:
Saying to them, It is written, My house is the house of prayer, but ye have made it a den of thieves.


t:
And he taught daily in the temple. But the chief priests, and the scribes, and the chief of the people sought to destroy him,


t:
And it came to pass, that on one of those days, as he was teaching the people in the temple, and preaching the gospel, the chief priests and the scribes came upon him, with the elders,


t:
And spoke to him, saying, Tell us, By what authority doest thou these things? or who is he that gave thee this authority?


t:
But if we say, From men; all the people will stone us: for they are persuaded that John was a prophet.


t:
Then he began to speak to the people this parable; A certain man planted a vineyard, and let it to husbandmen, and went into a far country for a long time.


t:
And again he sent another servant: and they beat him also, and treated him shamefully, and sent him away empty.


t:
Then said the lord of the vineyard, What shall I do? I will send my beloved son: it may be when they see him they will reverence him.


t:
But when the husbandmen saw him, they reasoned among themselves, saying, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, that the inheritance may be ours.


t:
So they cast him out of the vineyard, and killed him. What therefore will the lord of the vineyard do to them?


t:
He will come and destroy these husbandmen, and will give the vineyard to others. And when they heard it, they said, may that never be.


t:
Whoever shall fall upon that stone, shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.


t:
And they watched him, and sent forth spies, who should feign themselves just men, that they might take hold of his words, that so they might deliver him to the power and authority of the governor.


t:
And he said to them, Render therefore to Cesar the things which are Cesar's, and to God the things which are God's.


t:
And they could not take hold of his words before the people: and they marveled at his answer, and held their peace.


t:
Then came to him certain of the Sadducees (who deny that there is any resurrection) and they asked him,


t:
Saying, Master, Moses wrote to us, If any man's brother should die, having a wife, and he should die without children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed to his brother.


t:
But they who shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage.


t:
Neither can they die any more: for they are equal to the angels; and are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection.


t:
Now that the dead are raised, even Moses showed at the bush, when he calleth the Lord the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.


t:
Beware of the scribes, who desire to walk in long robes, and love greetings in the markets, and the highest seats in the synagogues, and the chief rooms at feasts;


t:
Who devour widows' houses, and for a show make long prayers: the same shall receive greater damnation.


t:
For all these have of their abundance cast in to the offerings of God: but she of her penury hath cast in all the living that she had.


t:
As for these things which ye behold, the days will come, in which there shall not be left one stone upon another, that will not be thrown down.


t:
And they asked him, saying, Master, but when will these things be? and what sign will there be when these things shall come to pass?


t:
And he said, Take heed that ye be not deceived: for many will come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and the time draweth near: therefore go ye not after them.


t:
But when ye shall hear of wars, and commotions, be not terrified: for these things must first come to pass: but the end is not immediately.


t:
And great earthquakes will be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences: and fearful sights, and great signs will there be from heaven.


t:
But before all these they will lay their hands on you, and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues, and into prisons, being brought before kings and rulers for my name's sake.


t:
And ye will be betrayed both by parents, and brethren, and kinsmen, and friends; and some of you will they cause to be put to death.


t:
Then let them who are in Judea flee to the mountains; and let them who are in the midst of it depart from it; and let not them that are in the countries enter into it.


t:
But woe to them that are with child, and to them that nurse infants in those days! for there shall be great distress in the land, and wrath upon this people.


t:
And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down by the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles shall be fulfilled.


t:
Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for apprehension of those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.


t:
And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads: for your redemption draweth nigh.


t:
So likewise ye, when ye see these things come to pass, know that the kingdom of God is nigh at hand.


t:
And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares.


t:
And in the day-time he was teaching in the temple; and at night he went out, and abode in the mount that is called the mount of Olives.


t:
And he said to them, Behold, when ye have entered into the city, there shall a man meet you, bearing a pitcher of water; follow him into the house where he entereth.


t:
And ye shall say to the master of the house, The Master saith to thee, Where is the guest-chamber, where I may eat the passover with my disciples?


t:
And he took bread, and gave thanks, and broke it, and gave to them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me.


t:
And he said to them, The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and they that exercise authority upon them, are called benefactors.


t:
For which is greater, he that sitteth at table, or he that serveth? is not he that sitteth at table? but I am among you as he that serveth.


t:
That ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and sit on thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.


t:
But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not; and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren.


t:
And he said, I tell thee, Peter, the cock will not crow this day, before thou wilt thrice deny that thou knowest me.


t:
And he said to them, When I sent you without purse, and sack, and shoes, lacked ye any thing? And they said, Nothing.


t:
Then said he to them, But now he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his sack: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one.


t:
For I say to you, that this which is written must yet be accomplished in me, And he was reckoned among the transgressors: for the things concerning me have an end.


t:
Saying, Father, if thou art willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine be done.


t:
And being in an agony, he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling to the ground.


t:
And while he was yet speaking, behold a multitude, and he that was called Judas, one of the twelve, went before them, and drew near to Jesus to kiss him.


t:
When they who were about him, saw what would follow, they said to him, Lord, shall we smite with the sword?


t:
Then Jesus said to the chief priests, and captains of the temple, and the elders who had come to him, Are ye come out as against a thief, with swords and staffs?


t:
Then they took him, and led him, and brought him into the high priest's house. And Peter followed at a distance.


t:
And about the space of one hour after, another confidently affirmed, saying, In truth this man also was with him; for he is a Galilean.


t:
And Peter said, Man, I know not what thou sayest. And immediately, while he was yet speaking, the cock crowed.


t:
And the Lord turned, and looked upon Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how he had said to him, Before the cock shall crow, thou wilt deny me thrice.


t:
And as soon as it was day, the elders of the people, and the chief priests, and the scribes came together, and led him into their council,


t:
And they said, What need have we of any further testimony? for we ourselves have heard from his own mouth.


t:
And they began to accuse him, saying, We found this man perverting the nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Cesar, saying, that he himself is Christ a king.


t:
And they were the more fierce, saying, He stirreth up the people, teaching throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee to this place.


t:
And as soon as he knew that he belonged to Herod's jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who himself was also at Jerusalem at that time.


t:
And when Herod saw Jesus, he was exceeding glad: for he had been for a long time, desirous to see him, because he had heard many things of him; and he hoped to see some miracle done by him.


t:
And Herod with his troops set him at naught, and mocked him, and arrayed him in a gorgeous robe, and sent him again to Pilate.


t:
And the same day Pilate and Herod were made friends together; for before they were at enmity between themselves.


t:
Said to them, Ye have brought this man to me, as one that perverteth the people: and behold, I, having examined him before you, have found no fault in this man, touching those things of which ye accuse him;


t:
And he said to them the third time, Why, what evil hath he done? I have found no cause of death in him; I will therefore chastise him, and let him go.


t:
And they were urgent with loud voices, requiring that he might be crucified: and the voices of them, and of the chief priests prevailed.


t:
And he released to them him that for sedition and murder had been cast into prison, whom they had desired; but he delivered Jesus to their will.


t:
And as they led him away, they laid hold upon one Simon a Cyrenian, coming out of the country, and on him they laid the cross, that he might bear it after Jesus.


t:
But Jesus turning to them, said, Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but weep for yourselves, and for your children.


t:
For behold, the days are coming, in which they shall say, Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bore, and the breasts which never nourished infants.


t:
And when they had come to the place which is called Calvary, there they crucified him, and the malefactors; one on the right hand, and the other on the left.


t:
Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them: for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots.


t:
And the people stood beholding. And the rulers also with them derided him, saying, He saved others; let him save himself, if he is Christ the chosen of God.


t:
And a superscription also was written over him, in letters of Greek, and Latin, and Hebrew, THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.


t:
And one of the malefactors, who were hanged, railed on him, saying, If thou art Christ, save thyself and us.


t:
But the other answering, rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation?


t:
And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit: and having said thus, he expired.


t:
And all his acquaintance, and the women that followed him from Galilee, stood afar off beholding these things.


t:
(The same had not consented to the counsel and deed of them) he was of Arimathea, a city of the Jews; who also himself waited for the kingdom of God.


t:
And he took it down, and wrapped it in linen, and laid it in a sepulcher that was hewn in stone, in which man was never before laid.


t:
And the women also, who came with him from Galilee, followed after, and beheld the sepulcher, and how his body was laid.


t:
And they returned, and prepared spices and ointments; and rested on the sabbath, according to the commandment.


t:
Now upon the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they came to the sepulcher, bringing the spices which they had prepared, and certain others with them.


t:
And it came to pass, as they were much perplexed at this, behold, two men stood by them in shining garments.


t:
And as they were afraid, and bowed down their faces to the earth, they said to them, Why seek ye the living among the dead?


t:
It was Mary Magdalene, and Joanna, and Mary the mother of James, and other women that were with them, who told these things to the apostles.


t:
Then Peter arose, and ran to the sepulcher, and stooping down, he beheld the linen clothes laid by themselves, and departed, wondering in himself at that which had come to pass.


t:
And behold, two of them went that same day to a village called Emmaus, which was from Jerusalem about sixty furlongs.


t:
And it came to pass, that, while they communed together, and reasoned, Jesus himself drew near, and went with them.


t:
And he said to them, What manner of communications are these that ye have one to another, as ye walk, and are sad?


t:
And one of them, whose name was Cleopas, answering, said to him, Art thou only a stranger in Jerusalem, and hast not known the things which have come to pass there in these days?


t:
And he said to them, What things? And they said to him, Concerning Jesus of Nazareth, who was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God, and all the people:


t:
But we trusted that it had been he who would have redeemed Israel: and besides all this, to-day is the third day since these things were done.


t:
And when they found not his body, they came, saying, that they had also seen a vision of angels, who said that he was alive.


t:
And certain of them who were with us, went to the sepulcher, and found it even so as the women had said: but him they saw not.


t:
And beginning at Moses, and all the prophets, he expounded to them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.


t:
And they drew nigh to the village whither they were going: and he made as though he would go further.


t:
But they constrained him, saying, Abide with us: for it is towards evening, and the day is far spent. And he went in to tarry with them.


t:
And it came to pass, as he sat at table with them, he took bread, and blessed it, and broke, and gave to them.


t:
And they said one to another, Did not our heart burn within us while he talked with us by the way, and while he opened to us the scriptures?


t:
And they rose the same hour, and returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven assembled, and them that were with them,


t:
And as they were thus speaking, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and saith to them, Peace be to you.


t:
And while they yet believed not for joy, and wondered, he said to them, Have ye here any thing for food?


t:
And he said to them, These are the words which I spoke to you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me.


t:
And said to them, Thus it is written, and thus it behooved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day:


t:
And behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye are endued with power from on high.


t:
And it came to pass, while he was blessing them, he was parted from them, and carried up into heaven.


t:
The same came for a witness, to bear testimony of the Light, that all men through him might believe.


t:
But as many as received him, to them he gave power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:


t:
John testified concerning him, and cried, saying, This was he of whom I spoke, He that cometh after me, is preferred before me; for he was before me.


t:
No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.


t:
And this is the testimony of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem, to ask him, Who art thou?


t:
And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elijah? and he saith, I am not. Art thou that prophet? And he answered, No.


t:
Then said they to him, Who art thou? that we may give an answer to them that sent us. What sayest thou of thyself?


t:
He said, I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Isaiah.


t:
And they asked him, and said to him, Why baptizest thou then, if thou art not that Christ, nor Elijah, neither that prophet?


t:
He it is, who coming after me, is preferred before me, whose shoes' latchet I am not worthy to unloose.


t:
The next day John seeth Jesus coming to him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, who taketh away the sin of the world.


t:
And John bore testimony, saying, I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it abode upon him.


t:
And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize with water, the same said to me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending and remaining on him, the same is he who baptizeth with the Holy Spirit.


t:
Then Jesus turned, and saw them following, and saith to them, What seek ye? They said to him, Rabbi (which is to say, being interpreted, Master) where dwellest thou?


t:
He saith to them, Come and see. They came and saw where he dwelt, and abode with him that day: for it was about the tenth hour.


t:
He first findeth his own brother Simon, and saith to him, We have found the Messiah; which is, being interpreted, the Christ.


t:
And he brought him to Jesus. And when Jesus beheld him, he said, Thou art Simon the son of Jona: thou shalt be called Cephas; which is, by interpretation, a stone.


t:
The day following Jesus would go forth into Galilee, and findeth Philip, and saith to him, follow me.


t:
Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith to him, We have found him described by Moses in the law, and by the prophets, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.


t:
And Nathanael said to him, Can there any good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip saith to him, Come and see.


t:
Nathanael saith to him, Whence knowest thou me? Jesus answered and said to him, Before Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig-tree, I saw thee.


t:
Jesus answered and said to him, Because I said to thee, I saw thee under the fig-tree, dost thou believe? thou shalt see greater things than these.


t:
And he saith to him, Verily, verily, I say to you, Hereafter ye shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man.


t:
When the ruler of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, and knew not whence it was; (but the servants who drew the water knew) the governor of the feast called the bridegroom,


t:
And saith to him, Every man at the beginning presenteth good wine; and when men have well drank, then that which is worse: but thou hast kept the good wine until now.


t:
This beginning of miracles Jesus performed in Cana of Galilee, and manifested his glory; and his disciples believed on him.


t:
After this he went down to Capernaum, he, and his mother, and his brethren, and his disciples; and they continued there not many days.


t:
And found in the temple those that sold oxen, and sheep, and doves, and the changers of money, sitting:


t:
And said to them that sold doves, Take these things hence: make not my Father's house a house of merchandise.


t:
Then answered the Jews, and said to him, What sign showest thou to us, seeing that thou doest these things?


t:
When therefore he had risen from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this to them: and they believed the scripture, and the word which Jesus had spoken.


t:
Now when he was in Jerusalem at the passover, in the feast day, many believed in his name, when they saw the miracles which he performed.


t:
The same came to Jesus by night, and said to him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him.


t:
Jesus answered and said to him, Verily, verily, I say to thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.


t:
Nicodemus saith to him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born?


t:
Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say to thee, Except a man be born of water, and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.


t:
The wind bloweth where it will, and thou hearest the sound of it, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.


t:
Verily, verily, I say to thee, We speak what we know, and testify what we have seen; and ye receive not our testimony.


t:
If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how will ye believe if I tell you heavenly things?


t:
And no man hath ascended to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man who is in heaven.


t:
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only-begotten Son, that whoever believeth in him, should not perish, but have everlasting life.


t:
For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through him may be saved.


t:
He that believeth on him, is not condemned: but he that believeth not, is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only-begotten Son of God.


t:
And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men have loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.


t:
But he that doeth truth, cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.


t:
And John also was baptizing in Enon, near to Salim, because there was much water there: and they came, and were baptized.


t:
And they came to John, and said to him, Rabbi, he that was with thee beyond Jordan, to whom thou didst bear testimony, behold, the same baptizeth, and all men come to him.


t:
He that hath the bride, is the bridegroom: but the friend of the bridegroom, who standeth and heareth him, rejoiceth greatly, because of the bridegroom's voice: this my joy therefore is fulfilled.


t:
For he whom God hath sent, speaketh the words of God: for to him God giveth not the Spirit by measure.


t:
He that believeth on the Son, hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son, shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.


t:
When therefore the Lord knew that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus made and baptized more disciples than John,


t:
Then he cometh to a city of Samaria, which is called Sychar, near to the parcel of ground, that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.


t:
Now Jacob's well was there. Jesus therefore being wearied with his journey, sat thus on the well: and it was about the sixth hour.


t:
Then saith the woman of Samaria to him, How is it that thou, being a Jew, askest drink of me, who am a woman of Samaria? for the Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans.


t:
Jesus answered and said to her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldst have asked him, and he would have given thee living water.


t:
The woman saith to him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: from whence then hast thou that living water?


t:
Art thou greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well, and drank of it himself, and his children, and his cattle?


t:
But whoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him, shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him, shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.


t:
The woman saith to him, Sir, give me this water, that I may not thirst, neither come hither to draw.


t:
The woman answered and said, I have no husband. Jesus said to her, Thou hast well said, I have no husband:


t:
For thou hast had five husbands, and he whom thou now hast, is not thy husband: in that thou hast spoken truth.


t:
Our fathers worshiped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.


t:
Jesus saith to her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father.


t:
But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshipers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.


t:
The woman saith to him, I know that Messiah cometh, who is called Christ; when he is come, he will tell us all things.


t:
And upon this came his disciples, and marveled that he talked with the woman: yet no man said, What seekest thou? or, Why talkest thou with her?


t:
Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? behold, I say to you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest.


t:
And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit to life eternal: that both he that soweth, and he that reapeth, may rejoice together.


t:
I sent you to reap that on which ye bestowed no labor: other men labored, and ye have entered into their labors.


t:
And many of the Samaritans of that city believed on him for the saying of the woman, who testified, He told me all that ever I did.


t:
So when the Samaritans had come to him, they besought him that he would tarry with them: and he abode there two days.


t:
And said to the woman, Now we believe, not because of thy saying: for we have heard him ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Christ, the Savior of the world.


t:
Then when he had come into Galilee, the Galileans received him, having seen all the things that he did at Jerusalem at the feast: for they also went to the feast.


t:
When he heard that Jesus had come from Judea into Galilee, he went to him, and besought him that he would come down, and heal his son: for he was at the point of death.


t:
Jesus saith to him, Go; thy son liveth. And the man believed the word that Jesus had spoken to him, and he departed.


t:
Then he inquired of them the hour when he began to amend: and they said to him, Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him.


t:
So the father knew that it was at the same hour in which Jesus said to him, Thy son liveth: and he himself believed, and his whole house.


t:
Now there is at Jerusalem by the sheep market a pool, which is called in the Hebrew tongue, Bethesda, having five porches.


t:
In these lay a great multitude of impotent persons, of blind, halt, withered, waiting for the moving of the water.


t:
For an angel went down at a certain season into the pool, and agitated the water: whoever then first after the stirring of the water stepped in, was cured of whatever disease he had.


t:
When Jesus saw him lying, and knew that he had been now a long time in that case, he saith to him, Wilt thou be healed?


t:
The impotent man answered him, Sir, I have no man, when the water is agitated, to put me into the pool: but while I am coming, another steppeth down before me.


t:
And immediately the man was healed, and took up his bed, and walked: and on the same day was the sabbath.


t:
The Jews therefore said to him that was cured, it is the sabbath; it is not lawful for thee to carry thy bed.


t:
And he that was healed knew not who it was: for Jesus had conveyed himself away, a multitude being in that place.


t:
Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said to him, Behold, thou art cured: sin no more, lest a worse thing come to thee.


t:
And therefore the Jews persecuted Jesus, and sought to slay him, because he had done these things on the sabbath.


t:
Then answered Jesus, and said to them, Verily, verily, I say to you, The Son can do nothing by himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for whatever things he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise.


t:
For the Father loveth the Son, and showeth him all things that himself doeth: and he will show him greater works than these, that ye may marvel.


t:
That all men should honor the Son, even as they honor the Father. He that honoreth not the Son, honoreth not the Father who hath sent him.


t:
Verily, verily, I say to you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but hath passed from death to life.


t:
Verily, verily, I say to you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live.


t:
Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,


t:
And shall come forth; they that have done good to the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, to the resurrection of damnation.


t:
I can of my own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not my own will, but the will of the Father who hath sent me.


t:
There is another that testifieth concerning me, and I know that the testimony which he beareth concerning me is true.


t:
But I have greater testimony than that of John: for the works which the Father hath given me to finish, the same works that I do, bear testimony concerning me, that the Father hath sent me.


t:
And the Father himself who hath sent me, hath borne testimony concerning me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape.


t:
How can ye believe, who receive honor one from another, and seek not the honor that cometh from God only?


t:
And a great multitude followed him, because they saw his miracles which he performed on them that were diseased.


t:
When Jesus then lifted up his eyes, and saw a great company come to him, he saith to Philip, Whence shall we buy bread that these may eat?


t:
Philip answered him, Two hundred penny-worth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one of them make take a little:


t:
There is a lad here, who hath five barley-loaves, and two small fishes: but what are they among so many?


t:
And Jesus said, Make the men sit down. (Now there was much grass in the place.) So the men sat down in number about five thousand.


t:
And Jesus took the loaves; and when he had given thanks, he distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to them that were set down; and likewise of the fishes, as much as they would.


t:
When they were satisfied, he said to his disciples, Gather the fragments that remain, that nothing may be lost.


t:
Therefore they gathered them, and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley-loaves, which remained over and above to them that had eaten.


t:
Then those men, when they had seen the miracle that Jesus performed, said, This is truly that prophet that should come into the world.


t:
When Jesus therefore perceived that they would come and take him by force, to make him a king, he departed again to a mountain himself alone.


t:
And entered into a boat, and went over the sea towards Capernaum. And it was now dark, and Jesus had not come to them.


t:
So when they had rowed about five and twenty or thirty furlongs, they see Jesus walking on the sea, and drawing nigh to the boat: and they were afraid.


t:
Then they willingly received him into the boat: and immediately the boat was at the land whither they were going.


t:
The day following, when the people who stood on the other side of the sea saw that there was no other boat there, save that one into which his disciples had entered, and that Jesus went not with his disciples into the boat, but that his disciples had gone away alone;


t:
(Yet there came other boats from Tiberias nigh to the place where they ate bread, after the Lord had given thanks:)


t:
When the people therefore saw that Jesus was not there, neither his disciples, they also took boats, and came to Capernaum, seeking for Jesus.


t:
And when they had found him on the other side of the sea, they said to him, Rabbi, when camest thou hither?


t:
Jesus answered them and said, Verily, verily, I say to you, Ye seek me, not because ye saw the miracles, but because ye ate of the loaves, and were satisfied.


t:
Labor not for the food which perisheth, but for that food which endureth to everlasting life, which the Son of man will give to you: for him hath God the Father sealed.


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


t:
Then Jesus said to them, Verily, verily, I say to you, Moses gave you not that bread from heaven; but my Father giveth you the true bread from heaven.


t:
And Jesus said to them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me, shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me, shall never thirst.


t:
All that the Father giveth me, shall come to me; and him that cometh to me, I will in no wise reject.


t:
And this is the Father's will who hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me, I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.


t:
And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one who seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.


t:
And they said, Is not this Jesus the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? how is it then that he saith, I came down from heaven?


t:
No man can come to me, except the Father who hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.


t:
It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught from God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned from the Father, cometh to me.


t:
I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man shall eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.


t:
Then Jesus said to them, Verily, verily, I say to you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you.


t:
Whoever eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.


t:
This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers ate manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this bread shall live for ever.


t:
Many therefore of his disciples, when they had heard this, said, This is a hard saying; who can hear it?


t:
When Jesus knew in himself that his disciples murmured at it, he said to them, Doth this offend you?


t:
It is the spirit that reviveth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak to you, they are spirit, and they are life.


t:
But there are some of you that believe not. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that believed not, and who he was that would betray him.


t:
And he said, Therefore I said to you, that no man can come to me, except it were given to him by my Father.


t:
He spoke of Judas Iscariot the son of Simon: for it was he that was to betray him, being one of the twelve.


t:
After these things Jesus walked in Galilee: for he would not walk in Judea, because the Jews sought to kill him.


t:
His brethren therefore said to him, Depart hence, and go into Judea, that thy disciples also may see the works that thou doest.


t:
For there is no man that doeth any thing in secret, and he himself seeketh to be known openly. If thou doest these things, show thyself to the world.


t:
The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth, because I testify concerning it, that its works are evil.


t:
But when his brethren had gone up, then he went also to the feast, not openly, but as it were in secret.


t:
And there was much murmuring among the people concerning him: for some said, He is a good man: others said, No; but he deceiveth the people.


t:
If any man will do his will, he shall know concerning the doctrine, whether it is from God, or whether I speak from myself.


t:
He that speaketh from himself, seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh his glory that sent him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him.


t:
Moses therefore gave to you circumcision, (not because it is from Moses, but from the fathers) and ye on the sabbath circumcise a man.


t:
If a man on the sabbath receiveth circumcision, that the law of Moses should not be broken; are ye angry at me, because I have restored a man to sound health on the sabbath?


t:
But lo, he speaketh boldly, and they say nothing to him. Do the rulers know indeed that this is the very Christ?


t:
Then cried Jesus in the temple, as he taught, saying, Ye both know me, and ye know whence I am: and I am not come of myself, but he that sent me is true, whom ye know not.


t:
The Pharisees heard that the people murmured such things concerning him: and the Pharisees and the chief priests sent officers to take him.


t:
Then said the Jews among themselves, Whither will he go, that we shall not find him? will he go to the dispersed among the Gentiles, and teach the Gentiles?


t:
What manner of saying is this that he said, Ye will seek me, and will not find me: and where I am, thither ye cannot come?


t:
In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirsteth, let him come to me, and drink.


t:
(But this he spoke of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive, for the Holy Spirit was not yet given, because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)


t:
Hath not the scripture said, That Christ cometh from the seed of David, and out of the town of Bethlehem, where David was?


t:
Then came the officers to the chief priests and Pharisees; and they said to them, Why have ye not brought him?


t:
They answered and said to him, Art thou also from Galilee? Search, and look: for out of Galilee ariseth no prophet.


t:
And the scribes and Pharisees brought to him a woman taken in adultery: and when they had set her in the midst,


t:
So when they continued asking him, he raised himself, and said to them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.


t:
And they who heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even to the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.


t:
When Jesus had raised himself, and saw none but the woman, he said to her, Woman, where are those thy accusers? hath no man condemned thee?


t:
Then Jesus spoke again to them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.


t:
Jesus answered and said to them, Though I testify concerning myself, yet my testimony is true: for I know whence I came, and whither I go; but ye cannot tell whence I come, and whither I go.


t:
Then said they to him, Where is thy Father? Jesus answered, Ye neither know me, nor my Father: if ye had known me, ye would have known my Father also.


t:
These words Jesus spoke in the treasury, as he taught in the temple: and no man laid hands on him, for his hour was not yet come.


t:
Then said Jesus again to them, I am going away, and ye will seek me, and will die in your sins: whither I go, ye cannot come.


t:
And he said to them, Ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye are of this world; I am not of this world.


t:
I said therefore to you, that ye will die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye will die in your sins.


t:
Then said they to him, Who art thou? And Jesus saith to them, Even the same that I said to you from the beginning.


t:
I have many things to say, and to judge of you: but he that sent me, is true: and I speak to the world those things which I have heard from him.


t:
Then said Jesus to them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself; but as my Father hath taught me, I speak these things.


t:
Then said Jesus to those Jews who believed on him, If ye continue in my word, ye are my disciples indeed;


t:
They answered him, We are Abraham's offspring, and were never in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free?


t:
I know that ye are Abraham's offspring; but ye seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you.


t:
They answered and said to him, Abraham is our father. Jesus saith to them, If ye were Abraham's children, ye would do the works of Abraham.


t:
But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I have heard from God: this did not Abraham.


t:
Ye do the deeds of your father. Then said they to him, We are not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God.


t:
Jesus said to them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me.


t:
Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do: he was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.


t:
Then answered the Jews, and said to him, Say we not well that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a demon?


t:
Then said the Jews to him, Now we know that thou hast a demon. Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and thou sayest, If a man shall keep my saying, he shall never taste death.


t:
Art thou greater than our father Abraham, who is dead? and the prophets are dead: whom makest thou thyself?


t:
Jesus answered, If I honor myself, my honor is nothing: it is my Father that honoreth me, of whom ye say, that he is your God:


t:
Yet ye have not known him; but I know him: and if I should say, I know him not, I should be a liar like you: but I know him, and keep his saying.


t:
Then they took up stones to cast at him: but Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by.


t:
And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who sinned, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind?


t:
When he had thus spoken, he spit on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and he anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay,


t:
And said to him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam, (which is by interpretation, Sent.) He went therefore, and washed, and came seeing.


t:
The neighbors therefore, and they who before had seen him that he was blind, said, Is not this he that sat and begged?


t:
He answered and said, A man that is called Jesus, made clay, and anointed my eyes, and said to me, Go to the pool of Siloam, and wash: and I went and washed, and I received sight.


t:
Then again the Pharisees also asked him how he had received his sight. He said to them, He put clay upon my eyes, and I washed, and do see.


t:
Therefore said some of the Pharisees, This man is not from God, because he keepeth not the sabbath. Others said, How can a man that is a sinner do such miracles? And there was a division among them.


t:
They say to the blind man again, What sayest thou of him, that he hath opened thy eyes? He said, He is a prophet.


t:
But the Jews did not believe concerning him that he had been blind, and received his sight, until they called the parents of him that had received his sight.


t:
But by what means he now seeth, we know not; or who hath opened his eyes, we know not: he is of age; ask him: he will speak for himself.


t:
These words his parents spoke, because they feared the Jews: for the Jews had agreed already, that if any man confessed that he was Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue.


t:
Then again they called the man that was blind, and said to him, Give God the praise: we know that this man is a sinner.


t:
He answered and said, Whether he is a sinner, I know not: one thing I know, that whereas I was blind, now I see.


t:
He answered them, I have told you already, and ye did not hear: Why would ye hear it again? will ye also be his disciples?


t:
The man answered and said to them, Why, herein is a marvelous thing, that ye know not from whence he is, and yet he hath opened my eyes.


t:
Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man is a worshiper of God, and doeth his will, him he heareth.


t:
Since the world began hath it not been heard that any man opened the eyes of one that was born blind.


t:
They answered and said to him, Thou wast altogether born in sins, and dost thou teach us? and they cast him out.


t:
Jesus heard that they had cast him out: and when he had found him, he said to him, Dost thou believe on the Son of God?


t:
And Jesus said, For judgment I am come into this world, that they who see not, may see; and that they who see, may be made blind.


t:
Jesus said to them, If ye were blind, ye would have no sin: but now ye say, We see; therefore your sin remaineth.


t:
Verily, verily, I say to you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheep-fold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.


t:
This parable spoke Jesus to them: but they understood not what things they were which he spoke to them.


t:
I am the door: by me if any man shall enter he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.


t:
The thief cometh not, but to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.


t:
But he that is a hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth, and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep.


t:
And other sheep I have which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.


t:
No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received from my Father.


t:
Others said, These are not the words of him that hath a demon. Can a demon open the eyes of the blind?


t:
Then came the Jews around him, and said to him, How long dost thou make us to doubt? If thou art the Christ, tell us plainly.


t:
Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed not: the works that I did in my Father's name, they testify concerning me.


t:
And I give to them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any pluck them out of my hand.


t:
My Father, who gave them to me, is greater than all; and none is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand.


t:
Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shown you from my Father; for which of those works do ye stone me?


t:
The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy, and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God.


t:
But if I do, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know and believe that the Father is in me, and I in him.


t:
And many resorted to him, and said, John performed no miracle; but all things that John spoke of this man were true.


t:
(It was that Mary who anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.)


t:
When Jesus heard that, he said, This sickness is not to death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God may be glorified by it.


t:
When therefore he had heard that he was sick, he abode two days still in the same place where he was.


t:
His disciples say to him, Master, the Jews of late sought to stone thee; and goest thou thither again?


t:
Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If any man walketh in the day, he stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this world.


t:
These things he said: and after that he saith to them, Our friend Lazarus sleepeth; but I go that I may awake him out of sleep.


t:
And I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, to the intent ye may believe; nevertheless, let us go to him.


t:
Then said Thomas, who is called Didymus, to his fellow-disciples, Let us also go, that we may die with him.


t:
Then Martha, as soon as she heard that Jesus was coming, went and met him: but Mary sat in the house.


t:
Jesus said to her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:


t:
She saith to him, Yes, Lord, I believe that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, who was to come into the world.


t:
And when she had so said, she went and called Mary her sister secretly, saying, The Master is come, and calleth for thee.


t:
The Jews then who were with her in the house, and comforted her, when they saw Mary that she rose hastily, and went out, followed her, saying, She goeth to the grave to weep there.


t:
Then when Mary had come where Jesus was, and saw him, she fell down at his feet, saying to him, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died.


t:
When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews also weeping who came with her, he groaned in the spirit, and was troubled;


t:
And some of them said, Could not this man, who opened the eyes of the blind, have caused that even this man should not have died?


t:
Jesus therefore again groaning in himself, cometh to the grave. It was a cave, and a stone lay upon it.


t:
Jesus said, Take ye away the stone. Martha, the sister of him that was dead, saith to him, Lord, by this time his body is offensive: for he hath been dead four days.


t:
Jesus saith to her, Said I not to thee, that if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God?


t:
Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead was laid. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me:


t:
And I knew that thou hearest me always: but because of the people who stand by, I said it, that they may believe that thou hast sent me.


t:
And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with grave-clothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith to them, Loose him, and let him go.


t:
Then the chief priests and the Pharisees convened a council, and said, What do we? for this man performeth many miracles.


t:
If we let him thus alone, all men will believe on him: and the Romans will come, and take away both our place and nation.


t:
And one of them, named Caiaphas, being the high priest that same year, said to them, Ye know nothing at all,


t:
And this he spoke not of himself: but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for that nation;


t:
And not for that nation only, but that also he should assemble in one the children of God that were scattered abroad.


t:
Jesus therefore walked no more openly among the Jews; but went thence to a country near to the wilderness, into a city called Ephraim, and there continued with his disciples.


t:
And the Jews' passover was nigh at hand: and many went out of the country to Jerusalem before the passover, to purify themselves.


t:
Then they sought for Jesus, and spoke among themselves, as they stood in the temple, What think ye, that he will not come to the feast?


t:
Now both the chief priests and the Pharisees had given a commandment, that, if any man knew where he was, he should show it, that they might take him.


t:
Then Jesus, six days before the passover, came to Bethany, where Lazarus was who had been dead, whom he raised from the dead.


t:
Then Mary took a pound of ointment of spikenard, very costly, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair: and the house was filled with the odor of the ointment.


t:
This he said, not that he cared for the poor; but because he was a thief, and had the bag, and bore what was put in it.


t:
Many people of the Jews therefore knew that he was there: and they came, not for Jesus' sake only, but that they might see Lazarus also, whom he had raised from the dead.


t:
On the next day, many people that had come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,


t:
Took branches of palm-trees, and went forth to meet him, and cried, Hosanna; Blessed is the King of Israel that cometh in the name of the Lord.


t:
These things his disciples understood not at the first: but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were written concerning him, and that they had done these things to him.


t:
The people therefore that were with him when he called Lazarus out of his grave, and raised him from the dead, bore testimony.


t:
The same came therefore to Philip, who was of Bethsaida of Galilee, and desired him, saying, Sir, we would see Jesus.


t:
Verily, verily, I say to you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit.


t:
He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world, shall keep it to life eternal.


t:
If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will my Father honor.


t:
Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour: but for this cause I came to this hour.


t:
The people therefore that stood by, and heard it, said that it thundered. Others said, An angel spoke to him.


t:
The people answered him, We have heard out of the law that Christ abideth for ever: and how sayest thou, The Son of man must be lifted up? Who is this Son of man?


t:
Then Jesus said to them, Yet a little while is the light with you. Walk while ye have the light, lest darkness come upon you: for he that walketh in darkness knoweth not whither he goeth.


t:
While ye have light, believe in the light, that ye may be the children of light. These things spoke Jesus, and departed, and concealed himself from them.


t:
That the saying of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spoke, Lord, who hath believed our report? and to whom hath the arm of the Lord been revealed?


t:
Nevertheless, among the chief rulers also many believed on him; but because of the Pharisees they did not confess him, lest they should be put out of the synagogue:


t:
For I have not spoken from myself; but the Father who sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak.


t:
And I know that his commandment is life everlasting: whatever I speak therefore, even as the Father said to me, so I speak.


t:
Now before the feast of the passover, when Jesus knew that his hour was come that he should depart out of this world to the Father, having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end.


t:
And supper being ended (the devil having now put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray him;)


t:
Jesus knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he had come from God, and was going to God;


t:
After that, he poured water into a basin, and began to wash the disciples feet, and to wipe them with the towel with which he was girded.


t:
Peter saith to him, Thou shalt never wash my feet. Jesus answered him, If I wash thee not, thou hast no part with me.


t:
Jesus saith to him, He that is washed needeth not save to wash his feet, but is wholly clean: and ye are clean, but not all.


t:
So after he had washed their feet, and had taken his garments, and was set down again, he said to them, Know ye what I have done to you?


t:
Verily, verily, I say to you, The servant is not greater than his lord; neither he that is sent greater than he that sent him.


t:
I speak not of you all; I know whom I have chosen: but that the scripture may be fulfilled, He that eateth bread with me, hath lifted up his heel against me.


t:
Verily, verily, I say to you, He that receiveth whomsoever I send, receiveth me; and he that receiveth me, receiveth him that sent me.


t:
When Jesus had thus said, he was troubled in spirit, and testified, and said, Verily, verily, I say to you, that one of you will betray me.


t:
Jesus answered, He it is to whom I shall give a sop, when I have dipped it. And when he had dipped the sop, he gave it to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon.


t:
For some of them thought, because Judas had the bag, that Jesus had said to him, Buy those things that we have need of against the feast; or, that he should give something to the poor.


t:
Therefore when he had gone out, Jesus said, Now is the Son of man glorified, and God is glorified in him.


t:
Little children, yet a little while I am with you. Ye will seek me: and, as I said to the Jews, Whither I go, ye cannot come; so now I say to you.


t:
A new commandment I give to you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.


t:
Simon Peter said to him, Lord, whither goest thou? Jesus answered him, Whither I go, thou canst not follow me now; but thou shalt follow me afterward.


t:
Jesus answered him, Wilt thou lay down thy life for my sake? Verily, verily, I say to thee, The cock will not crow, till thou hast denied me thrice.


t:
And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.


t:
Jesus saith to him, I am the way, and the truth, and the life: no man cometh to the Father, but by me.


t:
If ye had known me, ye would have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.


t:
Jesus saith to him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me Philip? he that hath seen me, hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Show us the Father?


t:
Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak to you, I speak not from myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.


t:
Verily, verily, I say to you, he that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go to my Father.


t:
And I will pray the Father, and he will give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;


t:
Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and will be in you.


t:
He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me, shall be loved by my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.


t:
Judas, not Iscariot, saith to him, Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself to us, and not to the world?


t:
Jesus answered and said to him, If a man loveth me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come to him, and make our abode with him.


t:
He that loveth me not, keepeth not my sayings: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but that of the Father who sent me.


t:
But the Comforter, who is the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatever I have said to you.


t:
Peace I leave with you, my peace I give to you: not as the world giveth, give I to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.


t:
Ye have heard that I said to you, I go away, and come again to you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go to the Father: for my Father is greater than I.


t:
Every branch in me that beareth not fruit, he taketh away; and every branch that beareth fruit, he cleaneth it, that it my bring forth more fruit.


t:
Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine: no more can ye, except ye abide in me.


t:
If a man abideth not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered: and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.


t:
Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard from my Father, I have made known to you.


t:
Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.


t:
If ye were of the world, the world would love its own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.


t:
Remember the word that I said to you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you: if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also.


t:
But all these things will they do to you for my name's sake, because they know not him that sent me.


t:
If I had not come and spoken to them, they had not had sin: but now they have no cloke for their sin.


t:
If I had not done among them the works which no other man hath done, they had not had sin: but now have they both seen, and hated both me and my Father.


t:
But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send to you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, who proceedeth from the Father, he will testify concerning me.


t:
They shall put you out of the synagogues: yes, the time cometh, that whoever killeth you, will think that he doeth God service.


t:
But these things have I told you, that when the time shall come, ye may remember that I told you of them. And these things I said not to you at the beginning, because I was with you.


t:
Nevertheless, I tell you the truth: It is expedient for you that I depart; for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come to you; but if I depart, I will send him to you.


t:
But, when he, the Spirit of truth is come, he will guide you into all the truth: for he will not speak from himself; but whatever he shall hear, that will he speak: and he will show you things to come.


t:
All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore I said, that he will take of mine, and show it to you.


t:
Then said some of his disciples among themselves, What is this that he saith to us, A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me: and, Because I go to the Father?


t:
Now Jesus knew that they were desirous to ask him, and said to them, Do ye inquire among yourselves of that which I said, A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me?


t:
Verily, verily, I say to you, that ye will weep and lament, but the world will rejoice: and ye will be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy.


t:
And in that day ye will ask me nothing: Verily, verily, I say to you, Whatever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you.


t:
These things have I spoken to you in proverbs: but the time cometh when I shall no more speak to you in proverbs, but I shall show you plainly concerning the Father.


t:
For the Father himself loveth you, because ye have loved me, and have believed that I came from God.


t:
Now are we sure that thou knowest all things, and needest not that any man should ask thee: by this we believe that thou camest from God.


t:
Behold, the hour cometh, and is even now come, that ye shall be scattered every man to his own, and shall leave me alone: and yet I am not alone, because the Father is with me.


t:
These things I have spoken to you, that in me ye may have peace. In the world ye will have tribulation, but be of good cheer: I have overcome the world.


t:
These words spoke Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee:


t:
And this is life eternal, that they may know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom thou hast sent.


t:
And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thy ownself, with the glory which I had with thee before the world was.


t:
I have manifested thy name to the men whom thou gavest to me out of the world: thine they were, and thou gavest them to me; and they have kept thy word.


t:
For I have given to them the words which thou gavest me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came from thee, and they have believed that thou didst send me.


t:
I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them whom thou hast given to me; for they are thine.


t:
And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thy own name those whom thou hast given to me, that they may be one, as we are.


t:
While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest to me I have kept, and none of them is lost but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled.


t:
And now I come to thee, and these things I speak in the world, that they may have my joy fulfilled in themselves.


t:
I have given to them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.


t:
I pray not that thou shouldst take them out of the world, but that thou shouldst keep them from the evil.


t:
And the glory which thou gavest to me, I have given to them; that they may be one, even as we are one.


t:
I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them as thou hast loved me.


t:
Father, I will that they also whom thou hast given to me be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory which thou hast given to me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world.


t:
And I have declared to them thy name, and will declare it: that the love with which thou hast loved me, may be in them, and I in them.


t:
When Jesus had spoken these words, he went forth with his disciples over the brook Kedron, where was a garden, into which he entered, and his disciples.


t:
And Judas also, who betrayed him, knew the place: for Jesus often resorted thither with his disciples.


t:
Judas then, having received a band of men and officers from the chief priests and Pharisees, cometh thither with lanterns, and torches, and weapons.


t:
Jesus therefore, knowing all things that were coming upon him, went forth, and said to them, Whom seek ye?


t:
They answered him, Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus saith to them, I am he. And Judas also, who betrayed him, stood with them.


t:
That the saying might be fulfilled which he spoke, Of them whom thou gavest to me, I have lost none.


t:
Then Simon Peter, having a sword, drew it, and smote the servant of the high priest, and cut off his right ear. The servant's name was Malchus.


t:
Then said Jesus to Peter, Put up thy sword into the sheath: the cup which my Father hath given me, shall I not drink it?


t:
And led him away to Annas first, (for he was father-in-law to Caiaphas, who was the high priest that same year.)


t:
Now Caiaphas was he who gave counsel to the Jews, that it was expedient that one man should die for the people.


t:
And Simon Peter followed Jesus, and so did another disciple. That disciple was known to the high priest, and went in with Jesus into the palace of the high priest.


t:
But Peter stood at the door without. Then went out that other disciple who was known to the high priest, and spoke to her that kept the door, and brought in Peter.


t:
Then saith the damsel that kept the door to Peter, Art not thou also one of this man's disciples? He saith, I am not.


t:
And the servants and officers stood there, who had made a fire of coals; (for it was cold) and they warmed themselves: and Peter stood with them, and warmed himself.


t:
Jesus answered him, I spoke openly to the world; I ever taught in the synagogue and in the temple, whither the Jews always resort; and in secret have I said nothing.


t:
Why dost thou ask me? ask them who heard me, what I have said to them: behold, they know what I have said.


t:
And when he had thus spoken, one of the officers who stood by, struck Jesus with the palm of his hand, saying, Answerest thou the high priest so?


t:
Jesus answered him, If I have spoken evil, bear testimony of the evil: but if well, why smitest thou me?


t:
And Simon Peter stood and warmed himself. They said therefore to him, Art not thou also one of his disciples? He denied it, and said, I am not.


t:
One of the servants of the high priest (being the kinsman of him whose ear Peter cut off) saith, Did not I see thee in the garden with him?


t:
Then they led Jesus from Caiaphas to the hall of judgment: and it was early; and they themselves went not into the judgment-hall, lest they should be defiled; but that they might eat the passover.


t:
They answered and said to him, If he were not a malefactor, we would not have delivered him up to thee.


t:
Then said Pilate to them, Take ye him, and judge him according to your law. The Jews therefore said to him, It is not lawful for us to put any man to death:


t:
Then Pilate entered into the judgment-hall again, and called Jesus, and said to him, Art thou the King of the Jews?


t:
Pilate answered, Am I a Jew? Thy own nation, and the chief priests, have delivered thee to me: What hast thou done?


t:
Pilate therefore said to him, Art thou a King then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a King. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should testify to the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice.


t:
Pilate saith to him, What is truth? And when he had said this, he went out again to the Jews, and saith to them, I find in him no fault.


t:
But ye have a custom that I should release to you one at the passover: will ye therefore that I release to you the King of the Jews?


t:
Pilate therefore went forth again, and saith to them, Behold, I bring him forth to you, that ye may know that I find no fault in him.


t:
Then Jesus came forth, wearing the crown of thorns, and the purple robe. And Pilate saith to them, Behold the man!


t:
When therefore the chief priests and officers saw him, they cried out, saying, Crucify him, crucify him. Pilate saith to them, Take ye him, and crucify him: for I find no fault in him.


t:
And went again into the judgment-hall, and saith to Jesus, Whence art thou? But Jesus gave him no answer.


t:
Then saith Pilate to him, Speakest thou not to me? knowest thou not, that I have power to crucify thee, and have power to release thee?


t:
Jesus answered, Thou couldst have no power against me; except it were given thee from above: therefore he that delivered me to thee hath the greater sin.


t:
And from thenceforth Pilate sought to release him: but the Jews cried out, saying, If thou let this man go, thou art not Cesar's friend. Whoever maketh himself a king, speaketh against Cesar.


t:
When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he brought Jesus forth, and sat down on the judgment-seat, in a place that is called the Pavement, but in the Hebrew, Gabbatha.


t:
And it was the preparation of the passover, and about the sixth hour: and he saith to the Jews, Behold your King!


t:
But they cried out, Away with him, away with him, crucify him. Pilate saith to them, Shall I crucify your King? The chief priests answered, We have no king but Cesar.


t:
And he bearing his cross went forth into a place called the place of a skull, which is called in the Hebrew, Golgotha:


t:
And Pilate wrote a title, and put it on the cross. And the writing was, JESUS OF NAZARETH THE KING OF THE JEWS.


t:
Many of the Jews then read this title: for the place where Jesus was crucified was nigh to the city: and it was written in Hebrew, Greek, and Latin.


t:
They said therefore among themselves, Let us not rend it, but cast lots for it whose it shall be: that the scripture might be fulfilled, which saith, They parted my raiment among them, and for my vesture they cast lots. These things therefore the soldiers did.


t:
Now there stood by the cross of Jesus, his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene.


t:
When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he loved, he saith to his mother, Woman, behold thy son!


t:
Then saith he to the disciple, Behold thy mother! And from that hour that disciple took her to his own home.


t:
When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and expired.


t:
The Jews therefore, because it was the preparation, that the bodies should not remain upon the cross on the sabbath, (for that sabbath was a great day,) besought Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.


t:
Then came the soldiers, and broke the legs of the first, and of the other who was crucified with him.


t:
And he that saw it, testified, and his testimony is true: and he knoweth that he speaketh truth, that ye may believe.


t:
And after this, Joseph of Arimathea (being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews) besought Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus: and Pilate gave him leave. He came therefore and took the body of Jesus.


t:
And there came also Nicodemus (who at the first came to Jesus by night) and brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pound weight.


t:
Then they took the body of Jesus, and wound it in linen cloths, with the spices, as the manner of the Jews is to bury.


t:
Now in the place where he was crucified, there was a garden; and in the garden a new sepulcher, in which was never man yet laid.


t:
There they laid Jesus therefore, because of the Jews' preparation-day, for the sepulcher was nigh at hand.


t:
The first day of the week cometh Mary Magdalene early, when it was yet dark, to the sepulcher, and seeth the stone taken away from the sepulcher.


t:
Then she runneth, and cometh to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple whom Jesus loved, and saith to them, They have taken away the Lord out of the sepulcher, and we know not where they have laid him.


t:
Then cometh Simon Peter following him, and went into the sepulcher, and seeth the linen cloths lying;


t:
And the napkin that was about his head, not lying with the linen cloths, but wrapped together in a place by itself.


t:
But Mary stood without at the sepulcher weeping: and as she wept she stooped down to look into the sepulcher,


t:
And seeth two angels in white, sitting, the one at the head, and the other at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain.


t:
And they say to her, Woman, why weepest thou? she saith to them, Because they have taken away my Lord, and I know not where they have laid him.


t:
And when she had thus said, she turned herself about, and saw Jesus standing, and knew not that it was Jesus.


t:
Jesus saith to her, Woman, why weepest thou? whom seekest thou? She, supposing him to be the gardener, saith to him, Sir, if thou hast borne him hence, tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will take him away.


t:
Jesus saith to her, Touch me not: for I have not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say to them, I ascend to my Father and your Father, and to my God and your God.


t:
Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen the Lord, and that he had spoken these things to her.


t:
Then the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst, and saith to them, Peace be to you.


t:
And when he had so said, he showed to them his hands and his side. Then were the disciples glad when they saw the Lord.


t:
Whose soever sins ye remit, they are remitted to them; and whose soever sins ye retain, they are retained.


t:
The other disciples therefore said to him, We have seen the Lord. But he said to them, Except I shall see in his hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and thrust my hand into his side, I will not believe.


t:
And after eight days again his disciples were within, and Thomas with them: then came Jesus, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, Peace be to you.


t:
Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side; and be not faithless, but believing.


t:
Jesus saith to him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.


t:
And many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book.


t:
But these are written, that ye may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing ye may have life through his name.


t:
After these things Jesus showed himself again to the disciples at the sea of Tiberias: and in this manner did he show himself.


t:
There were together Simon Peter, and Thomas called Didymus, and Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and two others of his disciples.


t:
Simon Peter saith to them, I go a fishing. They say to him, We also go with thee. They went forth, and entered into a boat immediately; and that night they caught nothing.


t:
But when the morning had now come, Jesus stood on the shore: but the disciples knew not that it was Jesus.


t:
And he said to them, Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and ye shall find. They cast therefore, and now they were not able to draw it for the multitude of fishes.


t:
Therefore that disciple whom Jesus loved saith to Peter, It is the Lord. Now when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he girt on his fisher's coat, (for he was naked) and cast himself into the sea.


t:
And the other disciples came in a little boat (for they were not far from land, but as it were two hundred cubits) dragging the net with fishes.


t:
As soon then as they had come to land, they saw a fire of coals there, and fish laid upon them, and bread.


t:
Simon Peter went up, and drew the net to land full of great fishes, a hundred and fifty and three: and notwithstanding there were so many, yet the net was not broken.


t:
Jesus saith to them, Come and dine. And none of the disciples durst ask him, Who art thou? knowing that it was the Lord.


t:
This is now the third time that Jesus showed himself to his disciples, after he had risen from the dead.


t:
So when they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon son of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these? He saith to him, Yes, Lord: thou knowest that I love thee. He saith to him, Feed my lambs.


t:
He saith to him again the second time, Simon son of Jonas, lovest thou me? He saith to him, Yes, Lord: thou knowest that I love thee. He saith to him, Feed my sheep.


t:
He saith to him the third time, Simon son of Jonas, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved, because he said to him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said to him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith to him, Feed my sheep.


t:
Verily, verily, I say to thee, When thou wast young, thou didst gird thyself and walk whither thou wouldest: but when thou shalt be old, thou shalt stretch forth thy hands, and another shall gird thee, and carry thee whither thou wouldst not.


t:
This he spoke, signifying by what death he should glorify God. And when he had spoken this, he saith to him, Follow me.


t:
Then Peter turning about, seeth the disciple whom Jesus loved, following; (who also leaned on his breast at supper, and said, Lord, who is he that betrayeth thee?)


t:
Jesus saith to him, If I will that he shall tarry till I come, what is that to thee? Follow thou me.


t:
Then this saying went abroad among the brethren, that that disciple should not die: yet Jesus said not to him, He shall not die; but, if I will that he shall tarry till I come, what is that to thee?


t:
This is the disciple who testifieth of these things, and wrote these things: and we know that his testimony is true.


t:
And there are also many other things which Jesus did, which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that would be written. Amen.


t:
Until the day in which he was taken up, after that he through the Holy Spirit had given commandments to the apostles whom he had chosen:


t:
To whom also he showed himself alive after his passion, by many infallible proofs, being seen by them forty days, and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God:


t:
And being assembled with them, commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which, saith he, ye have heard from me.


t:
For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days hence.


t:
And he said to them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power.


t:
But ye shall receive power after the Holy Spirit is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses to me, both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and in Samaria, and to the uttermost part of the earth.


t:
And while they looked steadfastly towards heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel;


t:
Who also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up to heaven? this same Jesus who is taken from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.


t:
Then they returned to Jerusalem, from the mount called Olivet, which is from Jerusalem a sabbath day's journey.


t:
And when they had come in, they went into an upper room, where abode both Peter, and James, and John, and Andrew, Philip, and Thomas, Bartholomew, and Matthew, James the son of Alpheus, and Simon Zelotes, and Judas the brother of James.


t:
And in those days Peter stood up in the midst of the disciples, and said (the number of the names together were about a hundred and twenty,)


t:
Men, brethren, This scripture must needs have been fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit by the mouth of David spoke before concerning Judas, who was guide to them that took Jesus.


t:
And it was known to all the dwellers at Jerusalem; so that that field is called in their proper tongue, Aceldama, that is to say, The field of blood.


t:
For it is written in the book of Psalms, Let his habitation be desolate, and let no man dwell in it: and, His bishopric let another take.


t:
Wherefore, of these men who accompanied us, all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,


t:
Beginning from the baptism of John, to that same day that he was taken up from us, must one be ordained to be a witness with us of his resurrection.


t:
And they prayed, and said, Thou, Lord, who knowest the hearts of all men, show which of these two thou hast chosen,


t:
And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.


t:
And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and began to speak in other languages, as the Spirit gave them utterance.


t:
Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because every man heard them speak in his own language.


t:
And they were all amazed, and marveled, saying one to another, Behold, are not all these who speak Galileans?


t:
Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and the dwellers in Mesopotamia, and in Judea, and Cappadocia, in Pontus, and Asia,


t:
Phrygia, and Pamphylia, in Egypt, and in the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and strangers of Rome, Jews and Proselytes,


t:
But Peter standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and said to them, Ye men of Judea, and all ye that dwell at Jerusalem, be this known to you, and hearken to my words:


t:
And on my servants, and on my hand-maidens I will, in those days, pour out of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy:


t:
And I will show wonders in heaven above, and signs on the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke.


t:
The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and notable day of the Lord come.


t:
Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved by God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know:


t:
Whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death: because it was not possible that he should be held by it.


t:
For David speaketh concerning him, I saw the Lord always before my face, for he is on my right hand, that I should not be moved:


t:
Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell, neither wilt thou suffer thy Holy One to see corruption:


t:
Men, brethren, let me freely speak to you concerning the patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried, and his sepulcher is with us to this day.


t:
Therefore being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn to him with an oath, that from the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, he would raise up Christ to sit on his throne;


t:
He seeing this before, spoke of the resurrection of Christ, that his soul was not left in hell, neither did his flesh see corruption.


t:
Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted, and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, he hath shed forth this, which ye now see and hear.


t:
For David did not ascend into the heavens, but he saith himself, The LORD said to my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,


t:
Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made that same Jesus whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ.


t:
Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said to Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men, brethren, what shall we do?


t:
Then Peter said to them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ, for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.


t:
For the promise is to you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.


t:
And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this perverse generation.


t:
Then they that gladly received his word, were baptized: and the same day there were added to them about three thousand souls.


t:
And they continued steadfastly in the apostles doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers.


t:
And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, ate their food with gladness and singleness of heart,


t:
Praising God, and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.


t:
And a certain man lame from his mother's womb was carried, whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful, to ask alms of them that entered into the temple.


t:
Then Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have I give thee: in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk.


t:
And they knew that it was he who sat for alms at the Beautiful gate of the temple: and they were filled with wonder and amazement at that which had happened to him.


t:
And as the lame man who was healed held Peter and John, all the people ran together to them in the porch that is called Solomon's, greatly wondering.


t:
And when Peter saw it, he answered to the people, Ye men of Israel, why marvel ye at this? or why look ye so earnestly on us, as though by our own power or holiness we had made this man to walk?


t:
The God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob, the God of our fathers hath glorified his Son Jesus; whom ye delivered up, and denied him in the presence of Pilate, when he was determined to let him go.


t:
And his name, through faith in his name, hath made this man strong, whom ye see and know: yes, the faith which is by him, hath given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all.


t:
But those things which God before had shown by the mouth of all his prophets, that Christ should suffer, he hath so fulfilled.


t:
Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord,


t:
Whom the heaven must receive, until the times of restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets, since the world began.


t:
For Moses truly said to the fathers, A Prophet will the Lord your God raise up to you, of your brethren, like me; him shall ye hear in all things, whatever he shall say to you.


t:
And it shall come to pass, that every soul who will not hear that Prophet, shall be destroyed from among the people.


t:
And all the prophets also from Samuel, and those that follow, as many as have spoken, have likewise foretold these days.


t:
Ye are the children of the prophets, and of the covenant which God made with our fathers, saying to Abraham, And in thy seed shall all the kindreds of the earth be blessed.


t:
To you first, God having raised up his Son Jesus, sent him to bless you, in turning away every one of you from his iniquities.


t:
And as they were speaking to the people, the priests, and the captain of the temple, and the Sadducees came upon them,


t:
And Annas the high priest, and Caiaphas, and John, and Alexander, and as many as were of the kindred of the high priest, were assembled at Jerusalem.


t:
And when they had set them in the midst, they asked, By what power, or by what name have ye done this?


t:
Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, Ye rulers of the people, and elders of Israel,


t:
If we this day are examined concerning the good deed done to the impotent man, by what means he is made sound.


t:
Be it known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth this man stand here before you sound.


t:
Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is no other name under heaven given among men, by which we must be saved.


t:
Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marveled; and they took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus.


t:
Saying, What shall we do to these men? for that indeed a notable miracle hath been done by them is manifest to all them that dwell in Jerusalem, and we cannot deny it.


t:
But that it may spread no further among the people, let us strictly threaten them, that they speak henceforth to no man in this name.


t:
But Peter and John answered and said to them, Whether it is right in the sight of God to hearken to you rather than to God, judge ye.


t:
And being dismissed, they went to their own company, and reported all that the chief priests and elders had said to them.


t:
And when they heard that, they lifted up their voice to God with one accord, and said, Lord, thou art God, who hast made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all that is in them;


t:
Who, by the mouth of thy servant David hast said, Why did the heathen rage, and the people imagine vain things?


t:
The kings of the earth stood up, and the rulers were assembled against the Lord, and against his Christ.


t:
For in truth against thy holy child Jesus, whom thou hast anointed, both Herod, and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles, and the people of Israel, were assembled,


t:
And now, Lord, behold their threatenings: and grant to thy servants, that with all boldness they may speak thy word,


t:
By stretching forth thy hand to heal; and that signs and wonders may be done by the name of thy holy child Jesus.


t:
And when they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled; and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they spoke the word of God with boldness.


t:
And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart, and of one soul: neither said any of them that aught of the things which he possessed was his own; but they had all things common.


t:
And with great power the apostles gave testimony of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them all.


t:
Neither was there any among them that was in want: for as many as were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the prices of the things that were sold,


t:
And laid them down at the apostles' feet: and distribution was made to every man according as he had need.


t:
And kept back part of the price, (his wife also being privy to it) and brought a certain part, and laid it at the apostles' feet.


t:
But Peter said, Ananias, Why hath Satan filled thy heart to lie to the Holy Spirit, and to keep back part of the price of the land?


t:
While it remained, was it not thy own? and after it was sold, was it not in thy own power? why hast thou conceived this thing in thy heart? thou hast not lied to men, but to God.


t:
And Ananias hearing these words, fell down, and expired. And great fear came on all them that heard these things.


t:
And Peter answered to her, Tell me whether ye sold the land for so much? And she said, Yes, for so much.


t:
Then Peter said to her, How is it that ye have agreed together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? behold the feet of them who have buried thy husband are at the door, and shall carry thee out.


t:
Then she fell down immediately at his feet, and expired. And the young men came in, and found her dead, and carrying her forth, buried her by her husband.


t:
So that they brought forth the sick into the streets, and laid them on beds and couches, that at the least the shadow of Peter passing by might overshadow some of them.


t:
There came also a multitude out of the cities around to Jerusalem, bringing sick persons, and them who were afflicted with unclean spirits: and they were healed every one.


t:
Then the high priest rose up, and all they that were with him; (which is the sect of the Sadducees) and were filled with indignation,


t:
Saying, The prison truly we found shut with all safety, and the keepers standing without before the doors: but when we had opened, we found no man within.


t:
Now when the high priest, and the captain of the temple, and the chief priests heard these things, they doubted of them to what this would grow.


t:
Saying, Did we not strictly command you, that ye should not teach in this name? and behold, ye have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine, and intend to bring this man's blood upon us.


t:
Him hath God exalted with his right hand to be a Prince and a Savior, to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins.


t:
And we are his witnesses of these things; and so is also the Holy Spirit, whom God hath given to them that obey him.


t:
Then stood up one in the council, a Pharisee, named Gamaliel, a doctor of the law, had in reputation among all the people, and commanded to put the apostles forth a little time.


t:
And said to them, Ye men of Israel, take heed to yourselves what ye intend to do concerning these men:


t:
For before these days rose Theudas, boasting himself to be somebody; to whom a number of men, about four hundred, joined themselves: who was slain; and all, as many as obeyed him, were scattered, and brought to naught.


t:
After this man rose Judas of Galilee, in the days of the taxing, and drew away many people after him: he also perished; and all, even as many as obeyed him, were dispersed.


t:
And now I say to you, Refrain from these men, and let them alone: for if this counsel or this work is from men, it will come to naught:


t:
And to him they assented: and when they had called the apostles, and beaten them, they commanded that they should not speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go.


t:
Then the twelve called the multitude of the disciples, and said, It is not reason that we should leave the word of God, and serve tables.


t:
Wherefore, brethren, look ye out among you seven men of honest report, full of the Holy Spirit and wisdom, whom we may appoint over this business.


t:
And the saying pleased the whole multitude: and they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Spirit, and Philip, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolas a proselyte of Antioch:


t:
Then there arose certain of the synagogue, which is called the synagogue of the Libertines, and Cyrenians, and Alexandrians, and of them of Cilicia, and of Asia, disputing with Stephen.


t:
Then they suborned men, who said, We have heard him speak blasphemous words against Moses, and against God.


t:
And set up false witnesses, who said, This man ceaseth not to speak blasphemous words against this holy place, and the law:


t:
For we have heard him say, that this Jesus of Nazareth will destroy this place, and will change the customs which Moses delivered to us.


t:
And all that sat in the council, looking steadfastly on him, saw his face as it had been the face of an angel.


t:
And he said, Men, brethren, and fathers, hearken; The God of glory appeared to our father Abraham when he was in Mesopotamia, before he dwelt in Charran,


t:
And said to him, Depart from thy country, and from thy kindred, and come into the land which I shall show thee.


t:
Then he came from the land of the Chaldeans, and dwelt in Charran. And from thence, when his father was dead, he removed him into this land in which ye now dwell.


t:
And he gave him no inheritance in it, no not so much as to set his foot on: yet he promised that he would give it to him for a possession, and to his offspring after him, when as yet he had no child.


t:
And God spoke on this wise, That his offspring should sojourn in a foreign land; and that they should bring them into bondage, and treat them ill four hundred years.


t:
And the nation to whom they shall be in bondage will I judge, said God: and after that they shall come forth, and serve me in this place.


t:
And he gave him the covenant of circumcision. And so Abraham begat Isaac, and circumcised him the eighth day; and Isaac begat Jacob, and Jacob begat the twelve patriarchs.


t:
And delivered him from all his afflictions, and gave him favor and wisdom in the sight of Pharaoh king of Egypt; and he made him governor over Egypt, and all his house.


t:
Now there came a dearth over all the land of Egypt and Canaan, and great affliction; and our fathers found no sustenance.


t:
And at the second time Joseph was made known to his brethren: and Joseph's kindred was made known to Pharaoh.


t:
And were carried over into Sychem, and laid in the sepulcher that Abraham bought for a sum of money of the sons of Emmor the father of Sychem.


t:
The same dealt subtilly with our kindred, and ill-treated our fathers, so that they cast out their young children, to the end they might not live.


t:
In which time Moses was born, and was exceeding fair, and nourished in his father's house three months:


t:
For he supposed his brethren to understand that God by his hand would deliver them: but they understood not.


t:
And the next day he showed himself to them as they were contending, and would have constrained them to be at peace again, saying, Sirs, ye are brethren: why do ye wrong one to another?


t:
But he that did his neighbor wrong, thrust him away, saying, Who made thee a ruler and a judge over us?


t:
And when forty years had expired, there appeared to him in the wilderness of mount Sina, an angel of the Lord in a flame of fire in a bush.


t:
When Moses saw it, he wondered at the sight; and as he drew near to behold it, the voice of the Lord came to him,


t:
I have seen, I have seen the affliction of my people who are in Egypt, and I have heard their groaning, and am come down to deliver them. And now come, I will send thee into Egypt.


t:
This Moses, whom they refused, saying, Who made thee a ruler and a judge? the same did God send to be a ruler and a deliverer by the hand of the angel who appeared to him in the bush.


t:
He brought them out, after he had showed wonders and signs in the land of Egypt, and in the Red sea, and in the wilderness forty years.


t:
This is that Moses, who said to the children of Israel, A prophet will the Lord your God raise up to you of your brethren, like me; him will ye hear.


t:
This is he, that was in the church in the wilderness with the angel who spoke to him on the mount Sina, and with our fathers: who received the living oracles to give to us:


t:
Whom our fathers would not obey, but thrust him from them, and in their hearts turned back again into Egypt,


t:
Saying to Aaron, Make us gods to go before us: for as for this Moses, who brought us out of the land of Egypt, we know not what is become of him.


t:
Then God turned, and gave them up to worship the host of heaven; as it is written in the book of the prophets, O ye house of Israel, have ye offered to me slain beasts and sacrifices during forty years in the wilderness?


t:
Yes, ye took up the tabernacle of Moloch, and the star of your God Remphan, figures which ye made to worship them: and I will carry you away beyond Babylon.


t:
Our fathers had the tabernacle of testimony in the wilderness, as he had appointed, speaking to Moses, that he should make it according to the fashion that he had seen.


t:
Which also our fathers, that came after, brought in with Jesus into the possession of the Gentiles, whom God drove out before the face of our fathers, to the days of David;


t:
Heaven is my throne, and earth is my footstool: What house will ye build for me? saith the Lord: or what is the place of my rest?


t:
Ye stiff-necked, and uncircumcised in heart and ears, ye do always resist the Holy Spirit: as your fathers did, so do ye.


t:
Which of the prophets have not your fathers persecuted? and they have slain them who showed before of the coming of the Just One; of whom ye have been now the betrayers and murderers;


t:
But he, being full of the Holy Spirit, looked up steadfastly into heaven, and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God,


t:
And he kneeled down and cried with a loud voice, Lord, lay not this sin to their charge. And when he had said this, he fell asleep.


t:
And Saul was consenting to his death. And at that time there was a great persecution against the church which was at Jerusalem; and they were all dispersed throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria, except the apostles.


t:
As for Saul, he made havoc of the church, entering into every house, and hauling men and women committed them to prison.


t:
And the people with one accord gave heed to those things which Philip spoke, hearing and seeing the miracles which he performed.


t:
For unclean spirits, crying with loud voice, came out of many that were possessed: and many taken with palsies, and that were lame, were healed.


t:
But there was a certain man called Simon, who before in the same city used sorcery, and bewitched the people of Samaria, giving out that himself was some great one:


t:
But when they believed Philip, preaching the things concerning the kingdom of God, and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized both men and women.


t:
Now when the apostles who were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent to them Peter and John:


t:
(For as yet he had fallen upon none of them: only they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.)


t:
And when Simon saw that through laying on of the apostles' hands the Holy Spirit was given, he offered them money,


t:
But Peter said to him, Thy money perish with thee, because thou hast thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money.


t:
Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray God, if perhaps the thought of thy heart may be forgiven thee.


t:
Then answered Simon, and said, Pray ye to the Lord for me, that none of these things which ye have spoken come upon me.


t:
And the angel of the Lord spoke to Philip, saying, Arise, and go towards the south, to the way that goeth down from Jerusalem to Gaza, which is desert.


t:
And he arose, and went: and behold, a man of Ethiopia, a eunuch of great authority under Candace queen of the Ethiopians, who had the charge of all her treasure, and had come to Jerusalem to worship,


t:
And Philip ran thither to him, and heard him reading the prophet Isaiah, and said, Understandest thou what thou readest?


t:
And he said, How can I, except some man should guide me? And he desired Philip that he would come up, and sit with him.


t:
The place of the scripture which he read was this, He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; and like a lamb dumb before his shearer, so he opened not his mouth:


t:
And as they went on their way, they came to a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized?


t:
And Philip said, If thou believest with all thy heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.


t:
And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they both went down into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him.


t:
And when they had come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, that the eunuch saw him no more: and he went on his way rejoicing.


t:
But Philip was found at Azotus: and passing through, he preached in all the cities, till he came to Cesarea.


t:
And Saul, yet breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest,


t:
And desired from him letters to Damascus to the synagogues, that if he should find any of this way, whether they were men or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem.


t:
And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus: and suddenly there shined around him a light from heaven:


t:
And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest. It is hard for thee to kick against the goads.


t:
And he trembling and astonished said, Lord, what wilt thou have me to do? And the Lord said to him, Arise, and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do.


t:
And the Lord said to him, Arise, and go into the street which is called Straight, and inquire in the house of Judas for one called Saul of Tarsus: for behold, he prayeth,


t:
And hath seen in a vision a man named Ananias, coming in, and putting his hand on him, that he might receive his sight.


t:
But the Lord said to him, Go, for he is a chosen vessel to me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel.


t:
And Ananias went, and entered into the house; and putting his hands on him, said, Brother Saul, the Lord (even Jesus that appeared to thee in the way as thou camest) hath sent me, that thou mayest receive thy sight, and be filled with the Holy Spirit.


t:
And when he had received food, he was strengthened. Then was Saul certain days with the disciples who were at Damascus.


t:
But all that heard him were amazed, and said, Is not this he that destroyed them who called on this name in Jerusalem, and came hither for that intent, that he might bring them bound to the chief priests?


t:
But Saul increased the more in strength, and confounded the Jews who dwelt at Damascus, proving that this is very Christ.


t:
And when Saul had come to Jerusalem, he essayed to join himself to the disciples: but they were all afraid of him, and believed not that he was a disciple.


t:
But Barnabas took him, and brought him to the apostles, and declared to them how he had seen the Lord in the way, and that he had spoken to him, and how he had preached boldly at Damascus in the name of Jesus.


t:
And he spoke boldly in the name of the Lord Jesus, and disputed against the Grecians: but they went about to slay him.


t:
Then had the churches rest throughout all Judea, and Galilee, and Samaria, and were edified: and walking in the fear of the Lord, and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit, were multiplied.


t:
And it came to pass, as Peter passed throughout all quarters, he came down also to the saints who dwelt at Lydda.


t:
And there he found a certain man named Eneas, who had kept his bed eight years, and was sick with the palsy.


t:
And Peter said to him, Eneas, Jesus Christ healeth thee: arise, and make thy bed. And he arose immediately.


t:
Now there was at Joppa a certain disciple named Tabitha, who by interpretation is called Dorcas: this woman was full of good works and alms-deeds which she did.


t:
And it came to pass in those days, that she was sick, and died: whom, when they had washed, they laid in an upper chamber.


t:
And as Lydda was nigh to Joppa, and the disciples had heard that Peter was there, they sent to him two men, desiring him that he would not delay to come to them.


t:
Then Peter arose, and went with them. When he had come, they brought him into the upper chamber: and all the widows stood by him weeping, and showing the coats and garments which Dorcas made, while she was with them.


t:
But Peter put them all forth, and kneeled down, and prayed; and turning to the body, said, Tabitha, arise. And she opened her eyes: and when she saw Peter, she sat up.


t:
And he gave her his hand, and lifted her up; and when he had called the saints and widows, presented her alive.


t:
There was a certain man in Cesarea, called Cornelius, a centurion of the band called the Italian band,


t:
A devout man, and one that feared God with all his house, who gave much alms to the people, and prayed to God always.


t:
He saw in a vision evidently, about the ninth hour of the day, an angel of God coming in to him, and saying to him, Cornelius.


t:
And when he looked on him, he was afraid, and said, What is it, Lord? And he said to him, Thy prayers and thy alms are come up for a memorial before God.


t:
He lodgeth with one Simon a tanner, whose house is by the sea-side: he will tell thee what thou oughtest to do.


t:
And when the angel who spoke to Cornelius had departed, he called two of his household servants, and a devout soldier of them that waited on him continually;


t:
On the morrow, as they were going on their journey, and drew nigh to the city, Peter went up upon the house-top to pray, about the sixth hour:


t:
And saw heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending to him, as it had been a great sheet knit at the four corners, and let down to the earth:


t:
In which were all manner of four-footed beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping animals, and fowls of the air.


t:
And the voice spoke to him again the second time, What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common.


t:
Now while Peter doubted in himself what this vision which he had seen should mean, behold, the men who were sent from Cornelius had made inquiry for Simon's house, and were standing before the gate,


t:
Then Peter went down to the men who were sent to him from Cornelius; and said, Behold, I am he whom ye seek: what is the cause for which ye have come?


t:
And they said, Cornelius the centurion, a just man, and one that feareth God, and of good report among all the nation of the Jews, was warned from God by a holy angel to send for thee into his house, and to hear words from thee.


t:
Then he called them in, and lodged them. And on the morrow Peter went with them, and certain brethren from Joppa accompanied him.


t:
And on the morrow they entered into Cesarea. And Cornelius waited for them, and had called together his kinsmen and near friends.


t:
And he said to them, Ye know that it is an unlawful thing for a man that is a Jew to keep company, or come to one of another nation; but God hath shown me that I should not call any man common or unclean.


t:
Therefore I came to you without gainsaying, as soon as I was sent for: I ask therefore for what intent ye have sent for me?


t:
And Cornelius said, Four days ago I was fasting until this hour; and at the ninth hour I prayed in my house, and behold, a man stood before me in bright clothing,


t:
Send therefore to Joppa, and call hither Simon, whose surname is Peter; he lodgeth in the house of one Simon a tanner, by the sea-side: who, when he cometh, will speak to thee.


t:
Immediately therefore I sent to thee; and thou hast well done that thou hast come. Now therefore we are all here present before God, to hear all things that are commanded thee from God.


t:
The word which God sent to the children of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ: (he is Lord of all:)


t:
That word, I say, ye know, which was published throughout all Judea, and began from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached;


t:
That God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed by the devil; for God was with him.


t:
And we are witnesses of all things which he did, both in the land of the Jews, and in Jerusalem; whom they slew and hanged on a tree.


t:
Not to all the people, but to witnesses chosen before by God, even to us, who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead.


t:
And he commanded us to preach to the people, and to testify that it is he who was ordained by God to be the Judge of the living and the dead.


t:
To him give all the prophets testimony, that through his name whoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins.


t:
And they of the circumcision who believed, were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Spirit.


t:
Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, who have received the Holy Spirit as well as we?


t:
And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord. Then they requested him to tarry certain days.


t:
And the apostles and brethren that were in Judea, heard that the Gentiles also had received the word of God.


t:
Upon which when I had fastened my eyes, I considered, and saw four-footed beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping animals, and fowls of the air.


t:
And behold, immediately there were three men already come to the house where I was, sent from Cesarea to me.


t:
And the Spirit bade me go with them, nothing doubting. Moreover, these six brethren accompanied me, and we entered into the man's house:


t:
And he showed us how he had seen an angel in his house, who stood and said to him, Send men to Joppa, and call for Simon, whose surname is Peter;


t:
Then I remembered the word of the Lord, how he said, John indeed baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit.


t:
Forasmuch then as God gave them the like gift as he did to us, who believed on the Lord Jesus Christ, what was I that I could withstand God?


t:
When they heard these things, they held their peace, and glorified God, saying, Then hath God also to the Gentiles granted repentance to life.


t:
Now they who were dispersed upon the persecution that arose about Stephen traveled as far as Phenice, and Cyprus, and Antioch, preaching the word to none but to the Jews only.


t:
And some of them were men of Cyprus and Cyrene, who when they had come to Antioch, spoke to the Grecians, preaching the Lord Jesus.


t:
Then tidings of these things came to the ears of the church which was in Jerusalem: and they sent forth Barnabas, that he should go as far as Antioch.


t:
Who, when he came, and had seen the grace of God, was glad, and exhorted them all that with purpose of heart they would cleave to the Lord.


t:
For he was a good man, and full of the Holy Spirit, and of faith: and many people were added to the Lord.


t:
And when he had found him, he brought him to Antioch. And it came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with the church, and taught many people. And the disciples were first called Christians in Antioch.


t:
And there stood up one of them named Agabus, and signified by the Spirit that there should be great dearth throughout all the world: which came to pass in the days of Claudius Cesar.


t:
Then the disciples, every man according to his ability, determined to send relief to the brethren who dwelt in Judea.


t:
And because he saw it pleased the Jews, he proceeded further to take Peter also. Then were the days of unleavened bread.


t:
And when he had apprehended him, he put him in prison, and delivered him to four quaternions of soldiers to keep him; intending after the passover to bring him forth to the people.


t:
Peter therefore was kept in prison: but prayer was made without ceasing by the church to God for him.


t:
And when Herod would have brought him forth, the same night Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains; and the keepers before the door kept the prison.


t:
And behold, the angel of the Lord came upon him, and a light shined in the prison; and he smote Peter on the side, and raised him up, saying, Arise quickly. And his chains fell off from his hands.


t:
And the angel said to him, Gird thyself, and bind on thy sandals; and so he did. And he saith to him, Cast thy garment about thee, and follow me.


t:
And he went out, and followed him, and knew not that it was true which was done by the angel; but thought he saw a vision.


t:
When they were past the first and the second ward, they came to the iron gate that leadeth to the city; which opened to them of its own accord: and they went out, and passed on through one street; and forthwith the angel departed from him.


t:
And when Peter had come to himself, he said, Now I know with certainty, that the Lord hath sent his angel, and hath delivered me out of the hand of Herod, and from all the expectation of the people of the Jews.


t:
And when he had considered the thing, he came to the house of Mary the mother of John whose surname was Mark; where many were assembled, praying.


t:
And when she knew Peter's voice, she opened not the gate for gladness, but ran in, and told that Peter stood before the gate


t:
And they said to her, Thou art insane. But she constantly affirmed that it was even so. Then they said, It is his angel.


t:
But he beckoning to them with the hand to hold their peace, declared to them how the Lord had brought him out of the prison. And he said, Go, show these things to James, and to the brethren. And he departed, and went into another place.


t:
And when Herod had sought for him, and found him not, he examined the keepers, and commanded that they should be put to death. And he went down from Judea to Cesarea, and there abode.


t:
And Herod was highly displeased with them of Tyre and Sidon. But they came with one accord to him, and having made Blastus the king's chamberlain their friend, desired peace, because their country was nourished by the king's country.


t:
And upon a set day, Herod arrayed in royal apparel, sat upon his throne, and made an oration to them.


t:
And immediately the angel of the Lord smote him, because he gave not God the glory: and he was eaten by worms, and died.


t:
Now there were in the church that was at Antioch certain prophets and teachers; as Barnabas, and Simeon that was called Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manaen, who had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.


t:
As they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Spirit said, Separate for me Barnabas and Saul, for the work to which I have called them.


t:
So they being sent forth by the Holy Spirit, departed to Seleucia; and from thence they sailed to Cyprus.


t:
And when they were at Salamis, they preached the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews. And they had also John for their minister.


t:
And when they had gone through the isle to Paphos, they found a certain sorcerer, a false prophet, a Jew, whose name was Barjesus:


t:
Who was with the deputy of the country, Sergius Paulus, a prudent man; who called for Barnabas and Saul, and desired to hear the word of God.


t:
And said, O full of all subtilty, and all mischief, thou child of the devil, thou enemy of all righteousness, wilt thou not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord?


t:
And now behold, the hand of the Lord is upon thee, and thou shalt be blind, not seeing the sun for a season. And immediately there fell on him a mist and a darkness; and he went about seeking some to lead him by the hand.


t:
Now when Paul and his company loosed from Paphos, they came to Perga in Pamphylia. And John departing from them, returned to Jerusalem.


t:
But when they departed from Perga, they came to Antioch in Pisidia, and went into the synagogue on the sabbath, and sat down.


t:
And after the reading of the law and the prophets, the rulers of the synagogue sent to them, saying, Men, brethren, if ye have any word of exhortation for the people, speak.


t:
Then Paul stood up, and beckoning with his hand, said, Men of Israel, and ye that fear God, give audience.


t:
The God of this people Israel chose our fathers, and exalted the people when they dwelt as strangers in the land of Egypt, and with a high arm he brought them out of it.


t:
And when he had destroyed seven nations in the land of Canaan, he divided their land to them by lot.


t:
And after that he gave to them judges, about the space of four hundred and fifty years, until Samuel the prophet.


t:
And afterward they desired a king: and God gave to them Saul the son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, by the space of forty years.


t:
And when he had removed him, he raised up to them David to be their king: to whom also he gave testimony, and said, I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after my own heart, who shall fulfill all my will.


t:
John having first preached, before his coming, the baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel.


t:
And as John fulfilled his course, he said, Whom think ye that I am? I am not he. But behold, there cometh one after me, whose shoes of his feet I am not worthy to loose.


t:
Men, brethren, children of the stock of Abraham, and whoever among you feareth God, to you is the word of this salvation sent.


t:
For they that dwell at Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they knew him not, nor yet the words of the prophets which are read every sabbath, they have fulfilled them in condemning him.


t:
And though they found no cause of death in him, yet they desired Pilate that he should be put to death.


t:
And when they had fulfilled all that was written concerning him, they took him down from the tree, and laid him in a sepulcher.


t:
And he was seen many days by them who came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are his witnesses to the people.


t:
God hath fulfilled the same to us their children, in that he hath raised up Jesus again; as it is also written in the second psalm, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee.


t:
And as concerning that he raised him from the dead, now no more to return to corruption, he said on this wise, I will give you the sure mercies of David.


t:
For David, after he had served his own generation by the will of God, fell asleep, and was laid to his fathers, and saw corruption:


t:
Be it known to you therefore, men, brethren, that through this man is preached to you the forgiveness of sins;


t:
Behold, ye despisers, and wonder, and perish: for I work a work in your days, a work which ye will in no wise believe, though a man declare it to you.


t:
And when the Jews had gone out of the synagogue, the Gentiles besought that these words might be preached to them the next sabbath.


t:
Now when the congregation was broken up, many of the Jews and religious proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas; who speaking to them, persuaded them to continue in the grace of God.


t:
But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with envy, and spoke against those things which were uttered by Paul, contradicting and blaspheming.


t:
Then Paul and Barnabas became bold, and said, It was necessary that the word of God should first be spoken to you: but seeing ye reject it, and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, lo, we turn to the Gentiles.


t:
For so hath the Lord commanded us, saying, I have set thee to be a light of the Gentiles, that thou shouldst be for salvation to the ends of the earth.


t:
And when the Gentiles heard this, they were glad, and glorified the word of the Lord: and as many as were ordained to eternal life, believed.


t:
But the Jews stirred up the devout and honorable women, and the chief men of the city, and raised persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and expelled them from their borders.


t:
And it came to pass in Iconium, that they went both together into the synagogue of the Jews, and so spoke, that a great multitude both of the Jews, and also of the Greeks, believed.


t:
But the unbelieving Jews stirred up the Gentiles, and made their minds evil-affected against the brethren.


t:
A long time therefore they abode speaking boldly in the Lord, who gave testimony to the word of his grace, and granted signs and wonders to be done by their hands.


t:
And when there was an assault made both of the Gentiles, and also of the Jews, with their rulers, to use them despitefully, and to stone them,


t:
Being apprised of it, they fled to Lystra and Derbe, cities of Lycaonia, and to the region in that vicinity.


t:
And there sat a certain man at Lystra, impotent in his feet, being a cripple from his mother's womb, who had never walked.


t:
The same heard Paul speak: who steadfastly beholding him, and perceiving that he had faith to be healed,


t:
And when the people saw what Paul had done, they lifted up their voices, saying in the speech of Lycaonia, The gods have come down to us in the likeness of men.


t:
Then the priest of Jupiter, who was before their city, brought oxen and garlands to the gates, and would have done sacrifice with the people.


t:
Which, when the apostles Barnabas and Paul heard of, they rent their clothes, and ran in among the people, crying out,


t:
And saying, Sirs, why do ye these things? We also are men of like passions with you, and preach to you, that ye should turn from these vanities to the living God, who made heaven and earth, and the sea, and all things that are in them.


t:
And there came thither certain Jews from Antioch, and Iconium, who persuaded the people, and having stoned Paul, drew him out of the city, supposing him to be dead.


t:
But as the disciples stood around him, he rose, and came into the city: and the next day he departed with Barnabas to Derbe.


t:
And when they had preached the gospel to that city, and had taught many, they returned again to Lystra, and to Iconium, and to Antioch,


t:
Confirming the souls of the disciples, exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God.


t:
And when they had ordained for them elders in every church, and had prayed with fasting, they commended them to the Lord, on whom they believed.


t:
And thence sailed to Antioch, from whence they had been commended to the grace of God, for the work which they fulfilled.


t:
And when they had come, and had assembled the church, they rehearsed all that God had done with them, and that he had opened the door of faith to the Gentiles.


t:
And certain men who came down from Judea, taught the brethren, and said, Except ye be circumcised after the manner of Moses, ye cannot be saved.


t:
When therefore Paul and Barnabas had no small dissension and disputation with them, they determined that Paul and Barnabas, and certain others of them, should go to Jerusalem to the apostles and elders about this question.


t:
And being brought on their way by the church, they passed through Phenice, and Samaria, declaring the conversion of the Gentiles: and they caused great joy to all the brethren.


t:
And when they had come to Jerusalem, they were received by the church, and by the apostles and elders, and they declared all things that God had done with them.


t:
But there rose certain of the sect of the Pharisees, who believed, saying, That it was needful to circumcise them, and to command them to keep the law of Moses.


t:
And when there had been much disputing, Peter rose and said to them, Men, brethren, ye know that a good while ago, God made choice among us, that the Gentiles, by my mouth should hear the word of the gospel, and believe.


t:
And God, who knoweth the hearts, bore them witness, giving to them the Holy Spirit, even as he did to us:


t:
Then all the multitude kept silence, and gave audience to Barnabas and Paul, declaring what miracles and wonders God had wrought by them among the Gentiles.


t:
Simeon hath declared how God at the first visited the Gentiles to take from among them a people for his name.


t:
After this I will return, and will build again the tabernacle of David which is fallen down; and I will build again the ruins of it; and I will set it up:


t:
That the residue of men may seek after the Lord, and all the Gentiles, upon whom my name is called, saith the Lord, who doeth all these things.


t:
But that we write to them that they abstain from pollutions of idols, and from lewdness, and from things strangled, and from blood.


t:
For Moses of old time hath in every city them that preach him, being read in the synagogues every sabbath.


t:
Then it pleased the apostles and elders, with the whole church, to send chosen men of their own company to Antioch, with Paul and Barnabas; namely, Judas surnamed Barsabas, and Silas, chief men among the brethren:


t:
And they wrote letters by them after this manner; The apostles, and elders, and brethren, send greeting to the brethren who are of the Gentiles in Antioch, and Syria, and Cilicia.


t:
Forasmuch as we have heard, that certain who went out from us, have troubled you with words, subverting your souls, saying, Ye must be circumcised, and keep the law; to whom we gave no such commandment:


t:
It seemed good to us, being assembled with one accord, to send chosen men to you, with our beloved Barnabas and Paul:


t:
For it seemed good to the Holy Spirit, and to us, to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things;


t:
That ye abstain from things offered to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from lewdness: from which if ye keep yourselves, ye will do well. Fare ye well.


t:
So when they were dismissed, they came to Antioch: and when they had convened the multitude, they delivered the epistle.


t:
And after they had tarried there a time, they were dismissed in peace from the brethren to the apostles.


t:
And some days after, Paul said to Barnabas, Let us go again and visit our brethren, in every city where we have preached the word of the Lord, and see how they do.


t:
And the contention was so sharp between them, that they departed, separating one from the other: and so Barnabas took Mark, and sailed to Cyprus.


t:
Then he came to Derbe and Lystra: and behold, a certain disciple was there, named Timothy, the son of a certain woman who was a Jewess, and believed, but his father was a Greek.


t:
Him would Paul have to go forth with him; and took and circumcised him, because of the Jews who were in those quarters: for they all knew that his father was a Greek.


t:
And as they went through the cities, they delivered to them the decrees to keep that were ordained by the apostles and elders who were at Jerusalem.


t:
Now when they had gone throughout Phrygia, and the region of Galatia, and were forbidden by the Holy Spirit to preach the word in Asia;


t:
And a vision appeared to Paul in the night: There stood a man of Macedonia, and prayed him, saying, Come over into Macedonia, and help us.


t:
And after he had seen the vision, immediately we endeavored to go into Macedonia, assuredly gathering, that the Lord had called us to preach the gospel to them.


t:
And on the sabbath we went out of the city by a river side, where prayer was wont to be made; and we sat down, and spoke to the women who resorted thither.


t:
And a certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, who worshiped God, heard us: whose heart the Lord opened, that she attended to the things which were spoken by Paul.


t:
And when she was baptized, and her household, she besought us, saying, If ye have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house, and abide there: And she constrained us.


t:
And it came to pass as we went to prayer, a certain damsel possessed with a spirit of divination, met us, who brought her masters much gain by sooth-saying:


t:
The same followed Paul and us, and cried, saying, These men are the servants of the most high God, who show to us the way of salvation.


t:
And this she did many days. But Paul being grieved, turned and said to the spirit, I command thee in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And he came out the same hour.


t:
And when her masters saw that the hope of their gains was gone, they caught Paul and Silas, and drew them into the market-place to the rulers,


t:
And the multitude rose together against them: and the magistrates rent off their clothes, and commanded to beat them.


t:
And when they had laid many stripes upon them, they cast them into prison, charging the jailer to keep them safely.


t:
And the keeper of the prison awaking out of his sleep, and seeing the prison doors open, he drew out his sword, and would have killed himself, supposing that the prisoners had fled.


t:
And he took them the same hour of the night, and washed their stripes; and was baptized, he and all his, without delay.


t:
And when he had brought them into his house, he set food before them, and rejoiced, believing in God with all his house.


t:
But Paul said to them, They have beaten us openly uncondemned, being Romans, and have cast us into prison; and now do they thrust us out privately? no verily; but let them come themselves and bring us out.


t:
And the sergeants told these words to the magistrates: and they feared when they heard that they were Romans.


t:
Now when they had passed through Amphipolis, and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where was a synagogue of the Jews.


t:
And Paul, as his manner was, went in to them, and on three sabbaths reasoned with them out of the scriptures,


t:
Opening and alledging, that it was needful that Christ should suffer, and rise again from the dead; and that this Jesus, whom I preach to you, is Christ.


t:
And some of them believed, and consorted with Paul and Silas: and of the devout Greeks a great multitude, and of the chief women not a few.


t:
But the Jews who believed not, moved with envy, took to them certain vile fellows of the baser sort, and gathered a company, and set all the city in an uproar, and assaulted the house of Jason, and sought to bring them out to the people.


t:
And when they found them not, they drew Jason and certain brethren to the rulers of the city, crying, These that have turned the world upside down, have come hither also;


t:
Whom Jason hath received: and these all do contrary to the decrees of Cesar, saying, That there is another king, one Jesus.


t:
And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night to Berea: who coming thither, went into the synagogue of the Jews.


t:
But when the Jews of Thessalonica had knowledge that the word of God was preached by Paul at Berea, they came thither also, and stirred up the people.


t:
And then immediately the brethren sent away Paul, to go as it were to the sea: but Silas and Timothy abode there still.


t:
And they that conducted Paul brought him to Athens: and receiving a commandment to Silas and Timothy to come to him with all speed, they departed.


t:
Now, while Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirit was stirred in him, when he saw the city wholly given to idolatry.


t:
Therefore he disputed in the synagogue with the Jews, and with the devout persons, and in the market daily with them that met with him.


t:
Then certain philosophers of the Epicureans, and of the Stoics, encountered him. And some said, What will this babbler say? some others, He seemeth to be a setter-forth of strange gods: because he preached to them Jesus, and the resurrection.


t:
And they took him, and brought him to Areopagus, saying, May we know what this new doctrine is, of which thou speakest?


t:
For thou bringest certain strange things to our ears; we would know therefore what these things mean.


t:
(For all the Athenians and strangers who were there, spent their time in nothing else, but either to tell, or to hear some new thing.)


t:
Then Paul stood in the midst of Mars-hill, and said, Ye men of Athens, I perceive that in all things ye are too superstitious.


t:
For as I passed by, and beheld your devotions, I found an altar with this inscription, TO THE UNKNOWN GOD. Whom therefore ye ignorantly worship, him declare I to you.


t:
God that made the world, and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands;


t:
Neither is worshiped with men's hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things;


t:
And hath made of one blood all nations of men to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation;


t:
That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he is not far from every one of us:


t:
For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, for we are also his offspring.


t:
Being then the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like to gold, or silver, or stone graven by art and man's device.


t:
Because he hath appointed a day, in which he will judge the world in righteousness, by that man whom he hath ordained: of which he hath given assurance to all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead.


t:
And when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked: and others said, We will hear thee again concerning this matter.


t:
But certain men adhered to him, and believed: among whom was Dionysius the Areopagite, and a woman named Damaris, and others with them.


t:
And found a certain Jew named Aquila, born in Pontus, lately come from Italy, with his wife Priscilla (because that Claudius had commanded all Jews to depart from Rome) and he came to them.


t:
And because he was of the same occupation, he abode with them, and wrought (for by their occupation they were tent-makers)


t:
And when Silas and Timothy had come from Macedonia, Paul was pressed in spirit, and testified to the Jews, that Jesus was Christ.


t:
And when they opposed themselves, and blasphemed, he shook his raiment, and said to them, Your blood be upon your own heads: I am clean: from henceforth I will go to the Gentiles.


t:
And he departed thence, and entered into the house of a certain man named Justus, one that worshiped God, whose house joined close to the synagogue.


t:
And Crispus the chief ruler of the synagogue believed on the Lord with all his house: and many of the Corinthians hearing, believed, and were baptized.


t:
Then the Lord spoke to Paul in the night by a vision, Be not afraid, but speak, and hold not thy peace:


t:
For I am with thee, and no man shall lay hands on thee, to hurt thee: for I have many people in this city.


t:
And when Gallio was the deputy of Achaia, the Jews made insurrection with one accord against Paul, and brought him to the judgment-seat,


t:
And when Paul was now about to open his mouth, Gallio said to the Jews, If it were a matter of wrong, or hainous crime, O ye Jews, reason would that I should bear with you:


t:
But if it is a question of words and names, and of your law, look ye to it: for I will be no judge of such matters.


t:
Then all the Greeks took Sosthenes, the chief ruler of the synagogue, and beat him before the judgment-seat. And Gallio cared for none of those things.


t:
And Paul after this tarried there yet a good while, and took his leave of the brethren, and sailed thence into Syria, and with him Priscilla and Aquila; having shorn his head in Cenchrea: for he had a vow.


t:
But bade them farewell, saying, I must by all means keep this feast that cometh in Jerusalem: but I will return to you, if God will. And he sailed from Ephesus.


t:
And after he had spent some time there, he departed and went over all the country of Galatia and Phrygia in order, strengthening all the disciples.


t:
This man was instructed in the way of the Lord: and being fervent in the spirit, he spoke and taught diligently the things of the Lord, knowing only the baptism of John.


t:
And he began to speak boldly in the synagogue: Whom, when Aquila and Priscilla had heard, they took him to them, and expounded to him the way of God more perfectly.


t:
And when he was disposed to pass into Achaia, the brethren wrote, exhorting the disciples to receive him: who, when he had come, helped them much who had believed through grace.


t:
For he mightily convinced the Jews, and that publicly, showing by the scriptures, that Jesus was Christ.


t:
And it came to pass, that while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul having passed through the upper region, came to Ephesus; and finding certain disciples,


t:
He said to them, Have ye received the Holy Spirit since ye believed? And they said to him, We have not so much as heard whether there is any Holy Spirit.


t:
Then said Paul, John verily baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying to the people, That they should believe on him who should come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus.


t:
And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Spirit came on them; and they spoke in languages, and prophesied.


t:
And he went into the synagogue, and spoke boldly for the space of three months, disputing and persuading the things concerning the kingdom of God.


t:
But when divers were hardened, and believed not, but spoke evil of that way before the multitude, he departed from them, and separated the disciples, disputing daily in the school of one Tyrannus.


t:
And this continued for the space of two years; so that all they who dwelt in Asia heard the word of the Lord Jesus, both Jews and Greeks.


t:
So that from his body were brought to the sick, handkerchiefs, or aprons, and the diseases departed from them, and the evil spirits went out of them.


t:
Then certain of the vagabond Jews, exorcists, took upon them to call over them who had evil spirits, the name of the Lord Jesus, saying, We adjure you by Jesus whom Paul preacheth.


t:
And the man in whom the evil spirit was, leaped on them, and overcame them, and prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded.


t:
And this was known to all the Jews and Greeks also dwelling at Ephesus: and fear fell on them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was magnified.


t:
Many also of them who used curious arts, brought their books together, and burned them before all men; and they counted the price of them, and found it fifty thousand pieces of silver.


t:
After these things were ended, Paul purposed in the spirit, when he had passed through Macedonia, and Achaia, to go to Jerusalem, saying, After I have been there, I must also see Rome.


t:
So he sent into Macedonia two of them that ministered to him, Timothy and Erastus; but he himself stayed in Asia for a season.


t:
For a certain man named Demetrius, a silver-smith, who made silver shrines for Diana, brought no small gain to the artificers;


t:
Whom he called together with the workmen of like occupation, and said, Sirs, ye know that by this craft we have our wealth:


t:
Moreover, ye see and hear, that not alone at Ephesus, but almost throughout all Asia, this Paul hath persuaded and turned away many people, saying, that they are no gods which are made with hands.


t:
So that not only this our craft is in danger to be set at naught; but also that the temple of the great goddess Diana should be despised, and her magnificence should be destroyed, whom all Asia, and the world worshipeth.


t:
And the whole city was filled with confusion: and having caught Gaius and Aristarchus, men of Macedonia, Paul's companions in travel, they rushed with one accord into the theater.


t:
And certain of the chief of Asia, who were his friends, sent to him, desiring him that he would not adventure himself into the theater.


t:
Some therefore cried one thing, and some another: for the assembly was confused, and the greater part knew not why they had come together.


t:
And they drew Alexander out of the multitude, the Jews putting him forward. And Alexander beckoned with the hand, and would have made his defense to the people.


t:
And when the town-clerk had appeased the people, he said, Ye men of Ephesus, what man is there that knoweth not that the city of the Ephesians is a worshiper of the great goddess Diana, and of the image which fell down from Jupiter?


t:
Seeing then that these things cannot be contradicted, ye ought to be quiet, and to do nothing rashly.


t:
For ye have brought hither these men, who are neither robbers of churches, nor yet blasphemers of your goddess.


t:
Wherefore, if Demetrius and the artificers who are with him, have a matter against any man, the law is open, and there are deputies: let them implead one another.


t:
\\13:14\\The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit, be with you all. Amen.


t:
Paul, an apostle, (not from men, neither by man, but by Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead;)


t:
I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ, to another gospel:


t:
But though we, or an angel from heaven, should preach any other gospel to you than that which we have preached to you, let him be accursed.


t:
As we said before, so I say now again, If any man preacheth any other gospel to you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.


t:
For ye have heard of my manner of life in time past in the Jews' religion, that beyond measure I persecuted the church of God, and wasted it;


t:
And profited in the Jews' religion above many my equals in my own nation, being more exceedingly zealous of the traditions of my fathers.


t:
Neither did I go to Jerusalem to them who were apostles before me: but I went into Arabia, and returned again to Damascus.


t:
But they had heard only, That he who persecuted us in times past, now preacheth the faith which once he destroyed.


t:
And I went by revelation, and communicated to them that gospel which I preach among the Gentiles, but privately to them who were of reputation, lest by any means I should run, or had run in vain.


t:
And that because of false brethren unawares brought in, who came in privately to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage:


t:
But of these, who seemed to be somewhat, (whatever they were, it maketh no matter to me: God accepteth no man's person:) for they who seemed to be somewhat, in conference added nothing to me:


t:
But on the contrary, when they saw that the gospel of the uncircumcision was committed to me, as the gospel of the circumcision was to Peter;


t:
(For he that wrought effectually in Peter to the apostleship of the circumcision, the same was mighty in me towards the Gentiles:)


t:
And when James, Cephas, and John, who seemed to be pillars, perceived the grace that was given to me, they gave to me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship; that we should go to the heathen, and they to the circumcision.


t:
For before that certain came from James, he used to eat with the Gentiles: but when they had come, he withdrew, and separated himself, fearing them who were of the circumcision.


t:
And the other Jews dissembled likewise with him; so that Barnabas also was carried away with their dissimulation.


t:
But when I saw that they walked not uprightly according to the truth of the gospel, I said to Peter before them all, If thou, being a Jew, livest after the manner of Gentiles, and not as do the Jews, why compellest thou the Gentiles to live as do the Jews?


t:
Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we may be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.


t:
But if, while we seek to be justified by Christ, we ourselves also are found sinners, is therefore Christ the minister of sin? By no means.


t:
I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless, I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh, I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.


t:
I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness is attainable by the law, then Christ hath died in vain.


t:
This only would I learn from you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?


t:
He therefore that ministereth to you the Spirit, and worketh miracles among you, doeth he this by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?


t:
And the scripture foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel to Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed.


t:
For as many as are of the works of the law, are under the curse: for it is written, Accursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them.


t:
But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, is evident: for, The just shall live by faith.


t:
Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Accursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:


t:
Brethren, I speak after the manner of men; Though it is but a man's covenant, yet if it is confirmed, no man disannulleth or addeth to it.


t:
And this I say, that the covenant that was confirmed before by God in Christ, the law, which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul, that it should make the promise of no effect.


t:
For if the inheritance is by the law, it is no more by promise: but God gave it to Abraham by promise.


t:
What purpose then serveth the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise was made; and it was ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator.


t:
Is the law then against the promises of God? By no means: for if there had been a law given which could give life, verily righteousness would have been by the law.


t:
But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up to the faith which should afterwards be revealed.


t:
Now I say, That the heir, as long as he is a child, differeth nothing from a servant, though he is lord of all;


t:
But when the fullness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, born of a woman, born under the law,


t:
But now, after ye have known God, or rather are known by God, how turn ye again to the weak and beggarly elements, to which ye desire again to be in bondage?


t:
What then was the blessedness ye spoke of; for I bear you testimony, that, if it had been possible, ye would have plucked out your own eyes, and have given them to me.


t:
But he who was of the bond-woman, was born according to the flesh; but he of the free-woman was by promise.


t:
For it is written, Rejoice, thou barren that bearest not; break forth and cry, thou that travailest not: for the desolate hath many more children than she who hath a husband.


t:
But as then he that was born according to the flesh persecuted him that was born according to the Spirit, even so it is now.


t:
Nevertheless, what saith the scripture? Cast out the bond-woman and her son: for the son of the bond-woman shall not be heir with the son of the free-woman.


t:
Stand fast therefore in the liberty with which Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.


t:
Christ is become of no effect to you, whoever of you are justified by the law; ye have fallen from grace.


t:
I have confidence in you through the Lord, that ye will be no otherwise minded: but he that troubleth you shall bear his judgment, whoever he may be.


t:
And I, brethren, if I yet preach circumcision, why do I yet suffer persecution? then hath the offense of the cross ceased.


t:
For, brethren, ye have been called to liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another.


t:
For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other; so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.


t:
Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these, Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,


t:
Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revelings, and such like: of which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they who do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.


t:
Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye who are spiritual, restore such one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted.


t:
For he that soweth to his flesh shall from the flesh reap corruption: but he that soweth to the Spirit, shall from the Spirit reap life everlasting.


t:
As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good to all men, especially to them who are of the household of faith.


t:
As many as desire to make a fair show in the flesh, they constrain you to be circumcised; only lest they should suffer persecution for the cross of Christ.


t:
But may it never be that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified to me, and I to the world.


t:
Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, to the saints who are at Ephesus, and to the faithful in Christ Jesus:


t:
According as he hath chosen us in him, before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:


t:
Having predestinated us to the adoption of children to himself by Jesus Christ, according to the good pleasure of his will,


t:
Having made known to us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself:


t:
That in the dispensation of the fullness of times he might collect in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him:


t:
In whom ye also trusted, after ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,


t:
Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, to the praise of his glory.


t:
That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him:


t:
And what is the exceeding greatness of his power toward us who believe, according to the working of his mighty power,


t:
In which in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:


t:
Among whom also we all had our manner of life in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.


t:
That in the ages to come he might show the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness towards us, through Christ Jesus.


t:
For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.


t:
Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances: to make in himself of two one new man, so making peace;


t:
Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellow-citizens with the saints, and of the household of God;


t:
And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner-stone;


t:
Which in other ages was not made known to the sons of men, as it is now revealed to his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit;


t:
That the Gentiles should be joint-heirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the Gospel:


t:
Of which I was made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of God given to me by the effectual working of his power.


t:
To me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ;


t:
To the intent that now to the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God,


t:
That he would grant you according to the riches of his glory to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man;


t:
And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye may be filled with all the fullness of God.


t:
Now to him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us.


t:
I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation by which ye are called,


t:
Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth?


t:
He that descended is the same also that ascended far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.


t:
Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ:


t:
That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, by which they lie in wait to deceive:


t:
From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body to the edifying of itself in love.


t:
Who being past feeling have given themselves over to lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness.


t:
That ye put off concerning the former manner of life the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts:


t:
Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbor: for we are members one of another.


t:
Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labor, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth.


t:
Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace to the hearers.


t:
Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamor, and evil-speaking, be put away from you, with all malice:


t:
And be ye kind one to another, tender-hearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.


t:
And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling savor.


t:
But lewdness and all uncleanness or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints;


t:
For this ye know, that no lewd, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.


t:
But all things that are reproved, are made manifest by the light: for whatever doth make manifest is light.


t:
Wherefore he saith, Awake, thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ will give thee light.


t:
Speaking to yourselves in psalms, and hymns, and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord,


t:
For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the Savior of the body.


t:
That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.


t:
For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined to his wife, and they two shall be one flesh.


t:
Nevertheless, let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself: and the wife see that she reverence her husband.


t:
Servants, be obedient to them that are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as to Christ;


t:
Not with eye-service, as men-pleasers; but as the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart;


t:
Knowing that whatever good thing any man doeth, the same will he receive from the Lord, whether he be bond or free.


t:
And, ye masters, do the same things to them, forbearing threatening: knowing that your Master also is in heaven; neither is there respect of persons with him.


t:
Wherefore take to you the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.


t:
Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breast-plate of righteousness;


t:
Above all, taking the shield of faith, with which ye will be able to extinguish all the fiery darts of the wicked.


t:
Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching for this purpose with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;


t:
And for me, that utterance may be given to me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel,


t:
But that ye also may know my affairs, and how I do, Tychicus, a beloved brother and faithful minister in the Lord, will make known to you all things:


t:
Whom I have sent to you for the same purpose, that ye may know our affairs, and that he may comfort your hearts.


t:
Paul and Timothy, the servants of Jesus Christ, to all the saints in Christ Jesus who are at Philippi, with the bishops and deacons:


t:
Being confident of this very thing, that he who hath begun a good work in you, will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:


t:
Even as it is meet for me to think this of you all, because I have you in my heart; inasmuch as both in my bonds, and in the defense and confirmation of the gospel, ye all are partakers of my grace.


t:
That ye may approve things that are excellent; that ye may be sincere and without offense till the day of Christ;


t:
Being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are by Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.


t:
But I would ye should understand, brethren, that the things which happened to me have fallen out rather to the furtherance of the gospel;


t:
And many of the brethren in the Lord, becoming confident by my bonds, are much more bold to speak the word without fear.


t:
What then? notwithstanding, every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is preached; and I therein do rejoice, yes, and will rejoice.


t:
For I know that this will turn to my salvation through your prayer, and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,


t:
According to my earnest expectation and hope, that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but that with all boldness, as always, so now also, Christ will be magnified in my body, whether by life, or by death.


t:
Only let your manner of life be as it becometh the gospel of Christ: that whether I come and see you, or else be absent, I may hear of your affairs, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel;


t:
And in nothing terrified by your adversaries: which is to them an evident token of perdition, but to you of salvation, and that from God.


t:
For to you it is given in the behalf of Christ, not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for his sake;


t:
If there is therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies,


t:
Let nothing be done through strife or vain glory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.


t:
And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient to death, even the death of the cross.


t:
That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things on earth, and things under the earth;


t:
Holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither labored in vain.


t:
And if I am even offered upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I joy, and rejoice with you all.


t:
But I trust in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy shortly to you, that I also may be of good comfort, when I know your state.


t:
Yet I supposed it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother, and companion in labor, and fellow-soldier, but your messenger, and he that ministered to my wants.


t:
For indeed he was sick nigh to death: but God had mercy on him; and not on him only, but on me also, lest I should have sorrow upon sorrow.


t:
I sent him therefore the more speedily, that, when ye see him again, ye may rejoice, and that I may be the less sorrowful.


t:
Because for the work of Christ he was nigh to death, not regarding his life, to supply the want of your service towards me.


t:
For we are the circumcision, who worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh.


t:
Though I might also have confidence in the flesh. If any other man thinketh that he hath reason to trust in the flesh, I more:


t:
Circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of the Hebrews; with respect to the law, a Pharisee;


t:
Concerning zeal, persecuting the church; with respect to the righteousness which is by the law, blameless.


t:
Yes doubtless, and I count all things to be loss for the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them to be dung, that I may win Christ,


t:
And be found in him, not having my own righteousness, which is from the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith:


t:
That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable to his death;


t:
Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I pursue, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended by Christ Jesus.


t:
Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forward to those things which are before,


t:
Let us therefore, as many as are perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing ye are otherwise minded, God will reveal even this to you.


t:
Nevertheless, to what we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us mind the same thing.


t:
Who will change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like to his glorious body, according to the working by which he is able even to subdue all things to himself.


t:
And I entreat thee also, true yoke-fellow, help those women who labored with me in the gospel, with Clement also, and with other my fellow-laborers, whose names are in the book of life.


t:
Be anxious for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.


t:
And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, will keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.


t:
Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are honest, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report; if there is any virtue, and if there is any praise, think on these things.


t:
Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace will be with you.


t:
Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatever state I am, with that to be content.


t:
Now, ye Philippians, know also, that in the beginning of the gospel, when I departed from Macedonia, no church communicated with me as concerning giving and receiving, but ye only.


t:
But I have all, and abound: I am full, having received from Epaphroditus the things which were sent from you, an odor of a sweet smell, a sacrifice acceptable, well-pleasing to God.


t:
To the saints and faithful brethren in Christ who are at Colosse: Grace be to you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.


t:
For the hope which is laid up for you in heaven, of which ye have heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel;


t:
Which is come to you, as it is in all the world; and bringeth forth fruit, as it doth also in you, since the day ye heard of it, and knew the grace of God in truth:


t:
As ye also learned from Epaphras our dear fellow-servant, who is for you a faithful minister of Christ;


t:
For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding;


t:
That ye may walk worthy of the Lord to all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God;


t:
Strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power, to all patience and long-suffering with joyfulness;


t:
Giving thanks to the Father, who hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light:


t:
Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his beloved Son:


t:
For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are upon earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:


t:
And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the first-born from the dead; that in all things he may have the pre-eminence.


t:
And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things to himself; by him, I say, whether they are things on earth, or things in heaven.


t:
And you, that were formerly alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled,


t:
In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblamable and unreprovable in his sight:


t:
If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and are not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, and which hath been preached to every creature which is under heaven; of which I Paul am made a minister;


t:
Of which I am made a minister, according to the dispensation of God which is given to me for you, to fulfill the word of God;


t:
Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages, and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints:


t:
Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus.


t:
That their hearts may be comforted, being knit together in love, and to all riches of the full assurance of understanding to the acknowledgment of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ;


t:
For though I am absent in the flesh, yet I am with you in the spirit, joying and beholding your order, and the steadfastness of your faith in Christ.


t:
Rooted and built up in him, and established in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding in it with thanksgiving.


t:
Beware lest any man make a prey of you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.


t:
Buried with him in baptism, in which also ye are raised with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead.


t:
And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he made alive together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses;


t:
Blotting out the hand-writing of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;


t:
And having despoiled principalities and powers, he made a show of them openly, triumphing over them in it.


t:
Let no man therefore judge you in food, or in drink, or in respect of a holy-day, or or the new-moon, or of the sabbaths:


t:
Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshiping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind,


t:
And not holding the head, from which all the body by joints and bands having nourishment ministered, and knit together, increaseth with the increase of God.


t:
Wherefore, if ye are dead with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, are ye subject to ordinances,


t:
Which things have indeed a show of wisdom in will-worship, and humility, and neglecting of the body; not in any honor to the satisfying of the flesh.


t:
If ye then be raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.


t:
Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; lewdness, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry:


t:
Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, long-suffering;


t:
Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man hath a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.


t:
And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.


t:
Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms, and hymns, and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.


t:
And whatever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.


t:
Servants, obey in all things your masters according to the flesh; not with eye-service, as men-pleasers; but in singleness of heart, fearing God:


t:
Knowing that from the Lord ye will receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ.


t:
But he that doeth wrong, will receive for the wrong which he hath done: and there is no respect of persons.


t:
Masters, give to your servants that which is just and equal; knowing that ye also have a Master in heaven.


t:
At the same time praying also for us, that God would open to us a door of utterance, to speak the mystery of Christ, for which I am also in bonds:


t:
Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man.


t:
All my state shall Tychicus declare to you, who is a beloved brother, and a faithful minister and fellow-servant in the Lord:


t:
With Onesimus, a faithful and beloved brother, who is one of you. They will make known to you all things which are done here.


t:
Aristarchus, my fellow-prisoner, saluteth you; and Marcus, sister's son to Barnabas, (concerning whom ye received commandments: if he should come to you, receive him;)


t:
And Jesus, who is called Justus, who are of the circumcision. These only are my fellow-workers to the kingdom of God, who have been a comfort to me.


t:
Epaphras, who is one of you, a servant of Christ, saluteth you, always laboring fervently for you in prayers, that ye may stand perfect and complete in all the will of God.


t:
For I bear him testimony, that he hath a great zeal for you, and them that are in Laodicea, and them in Hierapolis.


t:
And say to Archippus, take heed to the ministry which thou hast received in the Lord, that thou fulfill it.


t:
Paul, and Silvanus, and Timothy, to the church of the Thessalonians which is in God the Father, and in the Lord Jesus Christ: Grace be to you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.


t:
Remembering without ceasing your work of faith, and labor of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God and our Father;


t:
For our gospel came not to you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Spirit, and in much assurance; as ye know what manner of men we were among you for your sake.


t:
And ye became followers of us, and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Spirit:


t:
For from you sounded out the word of the Lord not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but also in every place your faith toward God is spread abroad; so that we need not to speak any thing.


t:
For they themselves show of us what manner of entrance we had to you, and how ye turned to God from idols, to serve the living and true God;


t:
And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, who delivered us from the wrath to come.


t:
But even after we had suffered before, and were shamefully treated, as ye know, at Phillippi, we were bold in our God to speak to you the gospel of God with much contention.


t:
But as we were allowed by God to be put in trust with the gospel, even so we speak; not as pleasing men, but God, who trieth our hearts.


t:
Nor from men sought we glory, neither from you, nor yet from others, when we might have been burdensome, as the apostles of Christ.


t:
So being affectionately desirous of you, we were willing to have imparted to you, not the gospel of God only, but also our own souls, because ye were dear to us.


t:
For ye remember, brethren, our labor and toil: for laboring night and day, because we would not be chargeable to any of you, we preached to you the gospel of God.


t:
Ye are witnesses, and God also, how holily, and justly, and unblamably we behaved ourselves among you that believe:


t:
As ye know how we exhorted, and comforted, and charged every one of you, as a father doth his children,


t:
For this cause also we thank God without ceasing, because, when ye received the word of God which ye heard from us, ye received it not as the word of men, but (as it is in truth) the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that believe.


t:
For ye, brethren, became followers of the churches of God which in Judea are in Christ Jesus: for ye also have suffered like things from your own countrymen, even as they have from the Jews:


t:
Forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles that they may be saved, to fill up their sins always: for the wrath is come upon them to the uttermost.


t:
But we, brethren, being taken from you for a short time in presence, not in heart, endeavored the more abundantly to see your face with great desire.


t:
And sent Timothy, our brother, and minister of God, and our fellow-laborer in the gospel of Christ, to establish you, and to comfort you concerning your faith:


t:
For this cause, when I could no longer forbear, I sent to know your faith, lest by some means the tempter may have tempted you, and our labor be in vain.


t:
But now when Timothy came from you to us, and brought us good tidings of your faith and charity, and that ye have good remembrance of us always, desiring greatly to see us, as we also to see you:


t:
For what thanks can we render to God again for you, for all the joy with which we rejoice for your sakes before our God;


t:
Night and day praying exceedingly that we may see your face, and may perfect that which is lacking in your faith?


t:
And the Lord make you to increase and abound in love one towards another, and towards all men, even as we do towards you:


t:
To the end he may establish your hearts unblamable in holiness before God, even our Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all his saints.


t:
Furthermore then we beseech you, brethren, and exhort you by the Lord Jesus, that as ye have received from us how ye ought to walk and to please God, so ye would abound more and more.


t:
That no man go beyond and defraud his brother in any matter: because the Lord is the avenger of all such, as we also have forewarned you and testified.


t:
But concerning brotherly love ye need not that I write to you: for ye yourselves are taught by God to love one another.


t:
And indeed ye do it towards all the brethren who are in all Macedonia: but we beseech you, brethren, that ye increase more and more;


t:
But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them who are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others who have no hope.


t:
For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also who sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.


t:
For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain to the coming of the Lord shall not precede them who are asleep.


t:
For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:


t:
Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.


t:
But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breast-plate of faith and love; and for a helmet, the hope of salvation.


t:
And we beseech you, brethren, to know them who labor among you, and are over you in the Lord, and admonish you;


t:
Now we exhort you, brethren, warn them that are disorderly, comfort the feeble-minded, support the weak, be patient towards all men.


t:
See that none render evil for evil to any man; but ever follow that which is good, both among yourselves, and to all men.


t:
And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body may be preserved blameless to the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.


t:
Paul, and Silvanus, and Timothy, to the church of the Thessalonians in God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ:


t:
We are bound to thank God always for you, brethren, as it is meet, because your faith groweth exceedingly, and the charity of every one of you all towards each other aboundeth;


t:
So that we ourselves glory in you in the churches of God, for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations that ye endure:


t:
And to you who are troubled, rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels,


t:
When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired by all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day.


t:
Wherefore also we pray always for you, that our God would count you worthy of this calling, and fulfill all the good pleasure of his goodness, and the work of faith with power:


t:
That the name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified in you, and ye in him, according to the grace of our God, and of the Lord Jesus Christ.


t:
Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshiped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.


t:
For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now restraineth will restrain, until he be taken out of the way.


t:
And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord will consume with the spirit of his mouth, and will destroy with the brightness of his coming:


t:
But we are bound to give thanks always to God for you, brethren, beloved by the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation, through sanctification of the Spirit, and belief of the truth:


t:
Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God, even our Father, who hath loved us, and hath given us everlasting consolation and good hope through grace,


t:
Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may have free course, and be glorified, even as it is with you;


t:
And we have confidence in the Lord concerning you, that ye both do and will do the things which we command you.


t:
Now we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye withdraw yourselves from every brother that walketh disorderly, and not after the tradition which he received from us.


t:
Neither did we eat any man's bread for naught; but wrought with labor and toil night and day, that we might not be chargeable to any of you:


t:
For we hear that there are some who walk among you disorderly, working not at all, but are busy-bodies.


t:
And if any man obeyeth not our word by this epistle, note that man, and have no company with him, that he may be ashamed.


t:
Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the commandment of God our Savior, and Lord Jesus Christ, who is our hope;


t:
To Timothy, my own son in the faith: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God our Father and Jesus Christ our Lord.


t:
Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith; so do.


t:
Desiring to be teachers of the law; understanding neither what they say, nor concerning what they affirm.


t:
Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers, and murderers of mothers, for man-slayers,


t:
For lewd persons, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for men-stealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there is any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine,


t:
Who was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious: but I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief:


t:
However, for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might show forth all long-suffering, for a pattern to them who should hereafter believe on him to life everlasting.


t:
Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, God the only wise, be honor and glory for ever and ever. Amen.


t:
This charge I commit to thee, son Timothy, according to the prophecies which went before on thee, that thou by them mayest war a good warfare;


t:
Holding faith and a good conscience; which some having put away, concerning faith have made shipwreck:


t:
Of whom is Hymeneus and Alexander; whom I have delivered to Satan, that they may learn not to blaspheme.


t:
I exhort therefore, that first of all supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men;


t:
For which I am ordained a preacher and an apostle, (I speak the truth in Christ, and lie not) a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and verity.


t:
In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in decent apparel, with modesty and sobriety; not with broidered hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array,


t:
Notwithstanding, she will be saved in child-bearing, if they continue in faith, and charity, and holiness, with sobriety.


t:
A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behavior, given to hospitality, apt to teach;


t:
Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre, but patient; not a brawler, not covetous;


t:
Moreover, he must have a good report of them who are without; lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil.


t:
Likewise must the deacons be grave, not double-tongued, not given to much wine, not greedy of filthy lucre,


t:
For they that have used the office of a deacon well, purchase to themselves a good degree, and great boldness in the faith, which is in Christ Jesus.


t:
And without controversy, great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen by angels, preached to the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.


t:
Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of demons;


t:
Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving by them who believe and know the truth.


t:
If thou shalt put the brethren in remembrance of these things, thou wilt be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished by the words of faith and of good doctrine, to which thou hast attained.


t:
For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable to all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.


t:
For therefore we both labor and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God who is the Savior of all men, especially of those that believe.


t:
Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in deportment, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity.


t:
Take heed to thyself and to thy doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou wilt both save thyself, and them that hear thee.


t:
But if any widow hath children or nephews, let them learn first to show piety at home, and to requite their parents: for that is good and acceptable before God.


t:
But if any provideth not for his own, and especially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel.


t:
Well reported of for good works; if she hath brought up children, if she hath lodged strangers, if she hath washed the saints' feet, if she hath relieved the afflicted, if she hath diligently followed every good work.


t:
But the younger widows refuse: for when they have begun to grow wanton against Christ, they will marry;


t:
And at the same time they learn to be idle, wandering about from house to house, and not only idle, but tattlers also, and busy-bodies, speaking things which they ought not.


t:
I will therefore that the younger women marry, bear children, guide the house, give no occasion to the adversary to speak reproachfully.


t:
If any man or woman that believeth hath widows, let them relieve them, and let not the church be charged; that it may relieve them that are widows indeed.


t:
Let the elders that rule well, be counted worthy of double honor, especially they who labor in the word and doctrine.


t:
For the scripture saith, Thou shalt not muzzle the ox that treadeth out the corn. And, The laborer is worthy of his reward.


t:
I charge thee before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, and the elect angels, that thou observe these things without preferring one before another, doing nothing by partiality.


t:
Let as many servants as are under the yoke count their own masters worthy of all honor, that the name of God and his doctrine may not be blasphemed.


t:
If any man teacheth otherwise, and consenteth not to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the doctrine which is according to godliness,


t:
He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, from which cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings,


t:
Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing gain to be godliness: from such withdraw thyself.


t:
But they that will be rich, fall into temptation, and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition.


t:
For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some have coveted, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.


t:
But thou, O man of God, flee from these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.


t:
Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, to which thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.


t:
I give thee charge in the sight of God, who maketh alive all things, and before Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate testified a good confession;


t:
Which in his times he will show who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords;


t:
Who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach; whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom be honor and power everlasting. Amen.


t:
Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not high-minded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy;


t:
O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called;


t:
For which cause I put thee in remembrance, that thou stir up the gift of God, which is in thee by the imposition of my hands.


t:
Who hath saved us, and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given to us in Christ Jesus before the world began;


t:
But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Savior Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel:


t:
For which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed to him against that day.


t:
Hold fast the form of sound words, which thou hast heard from me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.


t:
This thou knowest, that all they who are in Asia are turned away from me; of whom are Phygellus and Hermogenes.


t:
The Lord give mercy to the house of Onesiphorus; for he often refreshed me, and was not ashamed of my chain:


t:
The Lord grant to him that he may find mercy from the Lord in that day: and in how many things he ministered to me at Ephesus, thou knowest very well.


t:
And the things that thou hast heard from me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.


t:
Therefore I endure all things for the sake of the elect, that they may also obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.


t:
Of these things put them in remembrance, charging them before the Lord that they contend not about words to no profit, but to the subverting of the hearers.


t:
Study to show thyself approved to God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.


t:
Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth firm, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.


t:
But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honor, and some to dishonor.


t:
If a man therefore will cleanse himself from these, he will be a vessel to honor, sanctified and meet for the master's use, and prepared to every good work.


t:
In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God perhaps will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth:


t:
For men will be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,


t:
Without natural affection, truce-breakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,


t:
For of this sort are they who creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts;


t:
But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, long-suffering, charity, patience,


t:
Persecutions, afflictions which came to me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured: but out of them all the Lord delivered me.


t:
But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing from whom thou hast learned them;


t:
And that from a child thou hast known the sacred scriptures, which are able to make thee wise to salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.


t:
I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who will judge the living and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom;


t:
Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long-suffering and doctrine.


t:
For the time will come, when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts will they multiply to themselves teachers, having itching ears;


t:
Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give me at that day: and not to me only, but to all them also that love his appearing.


t:
For Demas hath forsaken me, having loved this present world, and hath departed to Thessalonica; Crescens to Galatia, Titus to Dalmatia.


t:
Luke only is with me. Take Mark, and bring him with thee: for he is profitable to me for the ministry.


t:
Notwithstanding, the Lord stood with me, and strengthened me; that by me the preaching might be fully known, and that all the Gentiles might hear: and I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion.


t:
And the Lord will deliver me from every evil work, and will preserve me to his heavenly kingdom; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.


t:
Paul, a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of God's elect, and the acknowledging of the truth which is according to godliness;


t:
But hath in due times manifested his word through preaching, which is committed to me according to the commandment of God our Savior;


t:
To Titus, my own son after the common faith: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God the Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ our Savior.


t:
For this cause I left thee in Crete, that thou shouldst set in order the things that are wanting, and ordain elders in every city, as I had appointed thee:


t:
If any is blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithful children, not accused of riot, or disorderly.


t:
For a bishop must be blameless, as the steward of God; not self-willed, not soon angry, not given to wine, no striker, not given to filthy lucre;


t:
Whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for the sake of sordid gain.


t:
One of themselves, even a prophet of their own, said, The Cretians are always liars, evil beasts, slow bellies.


t:
To the pure all things are pure: but to them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled.


t:
They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and to every good work reprobate.


t:
The aged women likewise, that they be in behavior as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things;


t:
In all things showing thyself a pattern of good works: in doctrine showing incorruptness, gravity, sincerity,


t:
Sound speech that cannot be condemned; that he that is of the contrary part may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say concerning you.


t:
Exhort servants to be obedient to their own masters, and to please them well in all things; not answering again;


t:
Not purloining, but showing all good fidelity; that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Savior in all things.


t:
Teaching us, that denying ungodliness, and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and piously, in this present world;


t:
Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God, and our Savior Jesus Christ;


t:
Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify to himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.


t:
Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Spirit;


t:
This is a faithful saying, and these things I will that thou affirm constantly, that they who have believed in God may be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable to men.


t:
When I shall send Artemas to thee, or Tychicus, be diligent to come to me to Nicopolis: for I have determined there to winter.


t:
Bring Zenas the lawyer and Apollos on their journey diligently, that nothing may be wanting to them.


t:
Paul, a prisoner of Jesus Christ, and Timothy our brother, to Philemon our dearly beloved, and fellow-laborer,


t:
Yet for love's sake I rather beseech thee, being such one as Paul the aged, and now also a prisoner of Jesus Christ.


t:
Whom I would have retained with me, that in thy stead he might have ministered to me in the bonds of the gospel:


t:
But without thy mind I would do nothing; that thy benefit should not be as it were of necessity, but willingly.


t:
Not now as a servant, but above a servant, a brother beloved, specially to me, but how much more to thee, both in the flesh, and in the Lord?


t:
I Paul have written it with my own hand, I will repay it: although I do not say to thee that thou owest to me even thy own self besides.


t:
But at the same time prepare me also a lodging; for I trust that through your prayers I shall be given to you.


t:
Hath in these last days spoken to us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;


t:
Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself made purification of our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;


t:
For to which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son?


t:
And again, when he bringeth in the first-begotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him.


t:
But to the Son, he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a scepter of righteousness is the scepter of thy kingdom.


t:
And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the earth: and the heavens are the works of thy hands.


t:
And as a vesture wilt thou fold them up, and they shall be changed; but thou art the same, and thy years shall not fail.


t:
But to which of the angels said he at any time, Sit on my right hand, until I make thy enemies thy footstool?


t:
For if the word spoken by angels was steadfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompense of reward;


t:
How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed to us by them that heard him;


t:
God also bearing them testimony, both with signs and wonders, and with divers miracles, and gifts of the Holy Spirit, according to his own will?


t:
But one in a certain place testified, saying, What is man, that thou art mindful of him? or the son of man, that thou visitest him?


t:
Thou madest him a little lower than the angels; thou crownedst him with glory and honor, and didst set him over the works of thy hands:


t:
Thou hast put all things in subjection under his feet. For in that he put all in subjection under him, he left nothing that is not made subject to him. But now we see not yet all things subjected to him.


t:
But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honor; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man.


t:
For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons to glory, to make the Captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings.


t:
For both he that sanctifieth, and they who are sanctified, are all of one: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren,


t:
Saying, I will declare thy name to my brethren, in the midst of the church will I sing praise to thee.


t:
And again, I will put my trust in him. And again, Behold, I, and the children which God hath given me.


t:
Since then the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;


t:
Wherefore in all things it behooved him to be made like his brethren; that he might be a merciful and faithful High Priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people.


t:
For this man was counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as he who hath built the house, hath more honor than the house.


t:
And Moses verily was faithful in all his house, as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were afterwards to be spoken.


t:
But Christ as a son over his own house: whose house are we, if we hold fast the confidence, and the rejoicing of the hope firm to the end.


t:
Wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, They do always err in their heart; and they have not known my ways.


t:
But exhort one another daily, while it is called To-day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.


t:
For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence steadfast to the end;


t:
But with whom was he grieved forty years? was it not with them that had sinned, whose carcasses fell in the wilderness?


t:
Let us therefore fear, lest a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it.


t:
For to us was the gospel preached, as well as to them: but the word which they heard did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it.


t:
For we who have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.


t:
For he spoke in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise, And God rested the seventh day from all his works.


t:
Seeing therefore it remaineth that some must enter into it, and they to whom it was first preached entered not because of unbelief:


t:
(Again, he limiteth a certain day, saying in David, To-day, after so long a time; as it is said, To-day, if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts.


t:
For he that hath entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his.)


t:
Let us labor therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief.


t:
For the word of God is living, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.


t:
Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened to the eyes of him with whom we have to do.


t:
Seeing then that we have a great High Priest, that hath passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession.


t:
For we have not a high priest who cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but who was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin.


t:
Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.


t:
For every high priest taken from among men, is ordained for men in things pertaining to God, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins:


t:
So also Christ glorified not himself to be made a high priest; but he that said to him, Thou art my Son, to-day have I begotten thee.


t:
Who in the days of his flesh, when he had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears to him that was able to save him from death, and was heard, in that he feared;


t:
For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need of one to teach you again which are the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong food.


t:
But strong food belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.


t:
Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on to perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith towards God,


t:
Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of the resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment.


t:
For it is impossible for those who have been once enlightened, and have tasted the heavenly gift, and have been made partakers of the Holy Spirit.


t:
If they shall fall away, to renew them again to repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame.


t:
For the earth which drinketh in the rain that cometh often upon it, and bringeth forth herbs fit for them by whom it is dressed, receiveth blessing from God:


t:
But that which beareth thorns and briers is rejected, and is nigh to cursing; whose end is to be burned.


t:
For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labor of love, which ye have shown towards his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister.


t:
For men verily swear by the greater: and an oath for confirmation is to them an end of all contradiction.


t:
Wherein God, willing more abundantly to show to the heirs of promise the immutability of his counsel, confirmed it by an oath:


t:
Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast, and which entereth into that within the vail;


t:
Whither the forerunner hath for us entered, even Jesus, made a high priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.


t:
Without father, without mother, without descent, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life; but made like to the Son of God; abideth a priest continually.


t:
Now consider how great this man was, to whom even the patriarch Abraham gave the tenth of the spoils.


t:
And verily they that are of the sons of Levi, who receive the office of the priesthood, have a commandment to take tithes from the people according to the law, that is, from their brethren, though they come from the loins of Abraham:


t:
But he whose descent is not counted from them received tithes from Abraham, and blessed him that had the promises.


t:
And here men that die receive tithes; but there he receiveth them, of whom it is testified that he liveth.


t:
If therefore perfection were by the Levitical priesthood (for under it the people received the law) what further need was there that another priest should rise after the order of Melchisedec, and not be called after the order of Aaron?


t:
For it is evident that our Lord sprang from Judah; of which tribe Moses spoke nothing concerning priesthood.


t:
For there is verily a disannulling of the preceding commandment on account of its weakness and unprofitableness.


t:
For the law made nothing perfect, but the introduction of a better hope did; by which we draw nigh to God.


t:
(For those priests were made without an oath; but this with an oath, by him that said to him, The Lord swore, and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec:)


t:
Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come to God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them.


t:
For such a high priest became us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens;


t:
For the law maketh men high priests who have infirmity; but the word of the oath, which was after the law, maketh the Son, who is consecrated for evermore.


t:
Now of the things which we have spoken this is the sum: We have such a high priest, who is set on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens;


t:
For every high priest is ordained to offer gifts and sacrifices: wherefore it is of necessity that this man should have somewhat also to offer.


t:
For if he were on earth, he would not be a priest, seeing there are priests that offer gifts according to the law:


t:
Who serve to the example and shadow of heavenly things, as Moses was admonished by God when he was about to make the tabernacle: for, See (saith he) that thou make all things according to the pattern shown to thee in the mount.


t:
Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers, in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, saith the Lord.


t:
And they shall not teach every man his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest.


t:
In that he saith, A new covenant, he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and groweth old is ready to vanish away.


t:
For there was a tabernacle made; the first, in which was the candlestick, and the table, and the show-bread; which is called the sanctuary.


t:
Which had the golden censer, and the ark of the covenant overlaid around with gold, in which was the golden pot that had manna, and Aaron's rod that budded, and the tables of the covenant;


t:
And over it the cherubim of glory shadowing the mercy-seat; of which we cannot now speak particularly.


t:
Now when these things were thus ordained, the priests went always into the first tabernacle, accomplishing the service of God:


t:
The Holy Spirit this signifying, that the way into the holiest of all was not yet made manifest, while the first tabernacle was yet standing:


t:
But Christ being come a high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building;


t:
Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood; he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us.


t:
For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of a heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctify to the purifying of the flesh:


t:
How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?


t:
And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they who are called may receive the promise of eternal inheritance.


t:
For when Moses had spoken every precept to all the people according to the law, he took the blood of calves and of goats, with water, and scarlet wool, and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book and all the people,


t:
Moreover, he sprinkled likewise with blood both the tabernacle, and all the vessels of the ministry.


t:
And almost all things are by the law cleansed with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.


t:
For Christ hath not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us:


t:
So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and to them that look for him he will appear the second time without sin to salvation.


t:
For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers to them perfect.


t:
For then would they not have ceased to be offered? because that the worshipers once cleansed, would have had no more conscience of sins.


t:
Wherefore, when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldst not, but a body hast thou prepared me:


t:
Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written concerning me,) to do thy will, O God.


t:
Above, when he said, Sacrifice and offering and burnt-offerings and offering for sin thou wouldst not, neither hadst pleasure in them; which are offered by the law;


t:
And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering often the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins:


t:
But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins, for ever sat down on the right hand of God;


t:
By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the vail, that is to say, his flesh;


t:
Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.


t:
For if we sin willfully after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,


t:
But a certain fearful apprehension of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.


t:
Of how much more severe punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, by which he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite to the Spirit of grace?


t:
For we know him that hath said, Vengeance belongeth to me, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord will judge his people.


t:
Partly, while ye were made a gazing-stock both by reproaches and afflictions; and partly, while ye became companions of them that were so used.


t:
For ye had compassion of me in my bonds, and took joyfully the seizing of your goods, knowing in yourselves that ye have in heaven a better and an enduring substance.


t:
Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man shall draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him.


t:
But we are not of them who draw back to perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul.


t:
Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which appeared.


t:
By faith Abel offered to God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained testimony that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh.


t:
By faith Enoch was translated, that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God.


t:
By faith Noah, being warned by God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith.


t:
By faith Abraham, when he was called to remove into a place which he should afterwards receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out not knowing whither he was going.


t:
By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as in a foreign country, dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise:


t:
Through faith also Sarah herself received strength to conceive seed, and was delivered of a child when she was past age, because she judged him faithful who had promised.


t:
Therefore there sprang even from one, and him as good as dead, so many as the stars of the sky in multitude, and as the sand which is by the sea-shore innumerable.


t:
And truly, if they had been mindful of that country from whence they came, they might have had opportunity to return.


t:
But now they desire a better country, that is, a heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God; for he hath prepared for them a city.


t:
By faith Abraham, when he was tried, offered up Isaac: and he that had received the promises offered up his only-begotten son,


t:
Accounting that God was able to raise him even from the dead; from whence also he received him in a figure.


t:
By faith Jacob, when he was dying, blessed both the sons of Joseph; and worshiped, leaning upon the top of his staff.


t:
By faith Moses when he was born, was hid three months by his parents, because they saw he was a proper child; and they were not afraid of the king's commandment.


t:
Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures of Egypt: for he had respect to the recompense of the reward.


t:
Through faith he kept the passover, and the sprinkling of blood, lest he that destroyed the first-born should touch them.


t:
By faith they passed through the Red sea as by dry land: which the Egyptians essaying to do were drowned.


t:
By faith the harlot Rahab perished not with them that believed not, as she had received the spies with peace.


t:
And what shall I say more? for the time would fail me to tell of Gideon, and of Barak, and of Samson, and of Jephthah, of David also, and Samuel, and of the prophets:


t:
Who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions,


t:
Quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, became valiant in fight, turned to flight the armies of the aliens.


t:
They were stoned, they were sawn asunder, were tempted, were slain with the sword: they wandered about in sheep-skins, and goat-skins; being destitute, afflicted, tormented;


t:
Wherefore, seeing we also are encompassed with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,


t:
Looking to Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.


t:
And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh to you as to children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked by him:


t:
If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons: for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not?


t:
Furthermore, we have had fathers of our flesh who corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection to the Father of spirits, and live?


t:
Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless, afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness to them who are exercised by it.


t:
Looking diligently, lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up, trouble you, and by it many be defiled;


t:
Lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one morsel of food sold his birth-right.


t:
For ye know that afterward, when he would have inherited the blessing, he was rejected: for he found no place of repentance, though he sought it carefully with tears.


t:
For ye are not come to the mount that might be touched, and that burned with fire, nor to blackness, and to darkness, and tempest,


t:
And the sound of a trumpet, and the voice of words; which voice they that heard, entreated that the word should not be spoken to them any more:


t:
But ye are come to mount Sion, and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels,


t:
To the general assembly and church of the first-born, who are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect,


t:
And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel.


t:
See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For if they escaped not who refused him that spoke on earth, much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from him that speaketh from heaven:


t:
Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, by which we may serve God acceptably, with reverence and godly fear.


t:
Remember them that are in bonds, as bound with them; and them who suffer adversity, as being yourselves also in the body.


t:
Marriage is honorable in all, and the bed undefiled: but lewd persons and adulterers God will judge.


t:
Let your manner of life be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.


t:
Remember them who have the rule over you, who have spoken to you the word of God: whose faith follow, considering the end of their manner of life.


t:
Be not carried about with divers and strange doctrines: for it is a good thing that the heart be established with grace; not with meats, which have not profited them that have been occupied in them.


t:
By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips, giving thanks to his name.


t:
Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great Shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant,


t:
Make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is well-pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.


t:
And I beseech you, brethren, suffer the word of exhortation: for I have written a letter to you in few words.


t:
If any of you lacketh wisdom, let him ask of God, who giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given to him.


t:
For the sun hath no sooner risen with a burning heat, but it withereth the grass, and its flower falleth, and the grace of the fashion of it perisheth: so also shall the rich man fade away in his ways.


t:
Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted by God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man:


t:
Of his own will he hath begotten us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of first-fruits of his creatures.


t:
Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the ingrafted word, which is able to save your souls.


t:
For if any is a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like a man beholding his natural face in a glass:


t:
But he who looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth in it, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.


t:
If any man among you seemeth to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion is vain.


t:
For if there come into your assembly a man with a gold ring, in goodly apparel, and there come in also a poor man in vile raiment;


t:
And ye have respect to him that weareth the gay clothing, and say to him, Sit thou here in a good place; and say to the poor, Stand thou there, or sit here under my footstool:


t:
If ye fulfill the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself, ye do well:


t:
For he that said, Do not commit adultery; said also, Do not kill. Now if thou committest no adultery, yet if thou killest, thou art become a transgressor of the law.


t:
For he shall have judgment without mercy that hath shown no mercy; and mercy rejoiceth against judgment.


t:
What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man sayeth he hath faith, and hath not works? can faith save him?


t:
And one of you sayeth to them, Depart in peace, be you warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit?


t:
Also a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: show me thy faith without thy works, and I will show thee my faith by my works.


t:
And the scripture was fulfilled, which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed to him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God.


t:
For in many things we all offend. If any man offendeth not in word, the same is a perfect man, able also to bridle the whole body.


t:
Behold, we put bits in the mouths of horses, that they may obey us; and we turn about their whole body.


t:
Behold also the ships, which though they are so great, and are driven by fierce winds, yet they are turned about with a very small helm, withersoever the governor willeth.


t:
And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire from hell.


t:
For every kind of beasts, and of birds, and of serpents, and of animals in the sea, is tamed, and hath been tamed by mankind:


t:
With this we bless God, even the Father; and with this we curse men, who are made after the similitude of God.


t:
Can the fig-tree, my brethren, bear olive-berries? or a vine, figs? so no fountain can yield both salt water and fresh.


t:
Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him show by a good deportment his works with meekness of wisdom.


t:
But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be entreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.


t:
From whence come wars and fightings among you? come they not hence, even from your lusts that war in your members?


t:
Ye lust and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not.


t:
Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.


t:
But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace to the humble.


t:
Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners, and purify your hearts, ye double-minded.


t:
Speak not evil one of another, brethren. He that speaketh evil of his brother, and judgeth his brother, speaketh evil of the law, and judgeth the law: but if thou judgest the law, thou art not a doer of the law, but a judge.


t:
Come now, ye that say, To-day or to-morrow we will go into such a city, and continue there a year, and buy, and sell, and get gain:


t:
Whereas ye know not what will be on the morrow: For what is your life? It is even a vapor, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.


t:
Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust of them shall be a testimony against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye have amassed treasure for the last days.


t:
Behold, the hire of the laborers who have reaped your fields, which is by you kept back by fraud, crieth: and the cries of them who have reaped have entered into the ears of the Lord of Sabaoth.


t:
Be patient, therefore, brethren, to the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receiveth the early and the latter rain.


t:
Behold, we count them happy who endure. Ye have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord; that the Lord is very pitiful, and of tender mercy.


t:
But above all things, my brethren, swear not, neither by heaven, neither by the earth, neither by any other oath: but let your yea, be yea: and your nay, nay; lest ye fall into condemnation.


t:
And the prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise him up; and if he hath committed sins, they will be forgiven him.


t:
Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of the righteous man availeth much.


t:
Elijah was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain: and it rained not on the earth by the space of three years and six months.


t:
Let him know, that he who converteth a sinner from the error of his way will save a soul from death, and will hide a multitude of sins.


t:
Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, to obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace to you, and peace, be multiplied.


t:
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again to a living hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,


t:
In which ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season (if need be) ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations:


t:
That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though tried with fire, might be found to praise, and honor, and glory, at the appearing of Jesus Christ:


t:
Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable, and full of glory:


t:
Concerning which salvation the prophets have inquired and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that should come to you:


t:
To whom it was revealed, that not to themselves, but to us they ministered the things which are now reported to you by them that have preached the gospel to you, with the Holy Spirit sent down from heaven; which things the angels desire to look into.


t:
Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;


t:
Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain course of life received by tradition from your fathers;


t:
Who verily was fore-ordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifested in these last times for you,


t:
Who by him do believe in God, that raised him from the dead, and gave him glory; that your faith and hope might be in God.


t:
Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit to unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently:


t:
For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and its flower falleth away:


t:
But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached to you.


t:
Wherefore, laying aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil-speakings,


t:
Ye also, as living stones, are built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.


t:
Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner-stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded.


t:
To you therefore who believe he is precious: but to them who are disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner,


t:
And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offense, even to them who stumble at the word, being disobedient: to which also they were appointed.


t:
But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should show forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvelous light:


t:
Who in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: who had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.


t:
Having your manner of life honest among the Gentiles: that, whereas they speak against you as evil-doers, they may by your good works, which they shall behold, glorify God in the day of visitation.


t:
Or to governors, as to them that are sent by him for the punishment of evil-doers, and for the praise of them that do well.


t:
For what glory is it, if, when ye are buffeted for your faults, ye bear it patiently? but if, when ye do well, and suffer for it, ye bear it patiently, this is acceptable with God.


t:
For even to this were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps:


t:
Who himself bore our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live to righteousness; by whose stripes ye were healed.


t:
Likewise, ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; that, if any obey not the word, they also may without the word be won by the deportment of the wives;


t:
Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing gold, or of putting on apparel;


t:
For after this manner in former times the holy women also, who trusted in God, adorned themselves, being in subjection to their own husbands:


t:
Even as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord: whose daughters ye are, as long as ye do well, and are not afraid with any amazement.


t:
Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, giving honor to the wife, as to the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life; that your prayers be not hindered.


t:
Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another; love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous:


t:
Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but on the contrary, blessing; knowing that ye are called to this, that ye should inherit a blessing.


t:
For he that will love life, and see good days, let him restrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile:


t:
For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open to their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil.


t:
But if ye suffer for righteousness' sake, happy are ye: and be not afraid of their terror, neither be troubled;


t:
But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you, with meekness and fear.


t:
Having a good conscience; that, whereas they speak evil of you, as of evil-doers, they may be ashamed that falsely accuse your good deportment in Christ.


t:
For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but made alive by the Spirit:


t:
Who formerly were disobedient, when once the long-suffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was preparing, in which few, that is, eight souls, were saved by water.


t:
The like figure to which, even baptism, doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience towards God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ:


t:
Who is gone into heaven, and is on the right hand of God; angels, and authorities, and powers being made subject to him.


t:
For the time past of our life may suffice us to have wrought the will of the Gentiles, when we walked in lasciviousness, lusts, excess of wine, revelings, banquetings, and abominable idolatries:


t:
In which they think it strange that ye run not with them to the same excess of riot, speaking evil of you:


t:
For, for this cause was the gospel preached also to them that are dead, that they might be judged according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit.


t:
And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves: for charity will cover a multitude of sins.


t:
If any man speaketh let him speak as the oracles of God; if any man ministereth let him do it as of the ability which God giveth: that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ; to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.


t:
Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened to you:


t:
But rejoice, seeing ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy.


t:
If ye are reproached for the name of Christ, happy are ye; for the spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you. On their part he is evil spoken of, but on your part he is glorified.


t:
But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or as a thief, or as an evil-doer, or as a busy-body in other men's matters.


t:
Yet if any man suffereth as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf.


t:
For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first beginneth at us, what will be the end of them that obey not the gospel of God?


t:
Wherefore, let them that suffer according to the will of God, commit the keeping of their souls to him in well-doing, as to a faithful Creator.


t:
The elders who are among you I exhort, who am also an elder, and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory that shall be revealed:


t:
Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight of it, not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but from a ready mind;


t:
Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves to the elder. Yes, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble.


t:
Whom resist steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.


t:
But the God of all grace, who hath called us to his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, establish, strengthen, settle you.


t:
By Silvanus, a faithful brother to you, as I suppose, I have written briefly, exhorting, and testifying that this is the true grace of God in which ye stand.


t:
Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained like precious faith with us through the righteousness of God and our Savior Jesus Christ:


t:
According as his divine power hath given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:


t:
Whereby are given to us exceeding great and precious promises; that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.


t:
But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purified from his old sins.


t:
For so an entrance shall be ministered to you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.


t:
Wherefore I will not be negligent to put you always in remembrance of these things, though ye know them, and are established in the present truth.


t:
Indeed, I think it meet, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by putting you in remembrance;


t:
Knowing that shortly I must put off this my tabernacle, even as our Lord Jesus Christ hath shown me.


t:
Moreover, I will endeavor that ye may be able, after my decease, to have these things always in remembrance.


t:
For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eye-witnesses of his majesty.


t:
For he received from God the Father honor and glory, when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.


t:
We have also a more sure word of prophecy; to which ye do well that ye take heed, as to a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day-star arise in your hearts:


t:
For prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit.


t:
But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there will be false teachers among you, who will privately bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.


t:
And many will follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth will be evil spoken of.


t:
And through covetousness they will with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not.


t:
For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved to judgment;


t:
And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing the flood upon the world of the ungodly;


t:
And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah into ashes, condemned them with an overthrow, making them an example to those that afterwards should live ungodly lives.


t:
(For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, grieved his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds;)


t:
The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust to the day of judgment to be punished:


t:
But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise government. Presumptuous are they, self-willed; they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities.


t:
Whereas angels, who are greater in power and might, bring not railing accusation against them before the Lord.


t:
But these, as natural brute beasts, made to be taken and destroyed, speak evil of the things that they understand not; and shall utterly perish in their own corruption:


t:
And shall receive the reward of unrighteousness, as they that count it pleasure to riot in the day-time. Spots they are and blemishes, sporting themselves with their own deceivings while they feast with you;


t:
Having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; beguiling unstable souls: they have a heart exercised with covetous practices; cursed children:


t:
Who have forsaken the right way, and gone astray, following the way of Balaam the son of Bosor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness;


t:
But was rebuked for his iniquity: the dumb ass speaking with man's voice, forbad the madness of the prophet.


t:
For when they speak great swelling words of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through much wantonness, those that had quite escaped from them who live in error.


t:
While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for by whom a man is overcome, by the same is he brought into bondage.


t:
For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in them, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning.


t:
For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered to them.


t:
But it hath happened to them according to the true proverb, The dog is turned to his own vomit again; and, The sow that was washed, to her wallowing in the mire.


t:
This second epistle, beloved, I now write to you; in both which I stir up your pure minds by way of remembrance:


t:
That ye may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us the apostles of the Lord and Savior:


t:
But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved to fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.


t:
The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is long-suffering toward us, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.


t:
But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein will be burned up.


t:
Seeing then that all these things will be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy deportment and godliness,


t:
Looking for and hasting to the coming of the day of God, in which the heavens being on fire will be dissolved, and the elements will melt with fervent heat?


t:
Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, in which dwelleth righteousness.


t:
Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found by him in peace, without spot, and blameless.


t:
And account that the long-suffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also, according to the wisdom given to him, hath written to you;


t:
As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, to their own destruction.


t:
Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own steadfastness.


t:
But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen.


t:
That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the word of life;


t:
(For the life was manifested, and we have seen it, and testify, and show to you that eternal life which was with the Father, and was manifested to us;)


t:
That which we have seen and heard we declare to you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.


t:
This then is the message which we have heard from him, and declare to you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.


t:
My little children, these things I write to you, that ye sin not. And if any man sinneth, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:


t:
And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.


t:
But whoever keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: by this we know that we are in him.


t:
Brethren, I write no new commandment to you, but an old commandment which ye had from the beginning: The old commandment is the word which ye have heard from the beginning.


t:
Again, a new commandment I write to you, which thing is true in him and in you: because the darkness is past, and the true light now shineth.


t:
But he that hateth his brother is in darkness, and walketh in darkness, and knoweth not whither he goeth, because darkness hath blinded his eyes.


t:
I write to you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from the beginning. I write to you, young men, because ye have overcome the wicked one. I write to you, little children, because ye have known the Father.


t:
I have written to you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from the beginning. I have written to you, young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God abideth in you, and ye have overcome the wicked one.


t:
Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man loveth the world, the love of the Father is not in him.


t:
For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not from the Father, but is from the world.


t:
Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist cometh, even now are there many antichrists; by which we know that it is the last time.


t:
I have not written to you because ye know not the truth, but because ye know it, and that no lie is of the truth.


t:
Whoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: but he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also.


t:
But the anointing which ye have received from him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man should teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you concerning all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.


t:
And now, little children, abide in him; that when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming.


t:
Whoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.


t:
In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.


t:
Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one, and slew his brother. And why did he slay him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother's righteous.


t:
We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother, abideth in death.


t:
Whoever hateth his brother, is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him.


t:
By this we perceive the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.


t:
But he who hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him?


t:
And whatever we ask, we receive from him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight.


t:
And this is his commandment; That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment.


t:
And he that keepeth his commandments, dwelleth in him, and he in him. And by this we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us.


t:
Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets have gone out into the world.


t:
By this ye know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ hath come in the flesh, is from God:


t:
And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh, is not from God. And this is that spirit of antichrist, of which ye have heard that it should come; and even now already it is in the world.


t:
We are of God. He that knoweth God, heareth us; he that is not of God, heareth not us. By this we know the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.


t:
Beloved, let us love one another: for love is from God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.


t:
In this was manifested the love of God towards us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.


t:
In this is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.


t:
And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love: and he that dwelleth in love, dwelleth in God, and God in him.


t:
In this is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.


t:
There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth, is not made perfect in love.


t:
If a man sayeth, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar. For he that loveth not his brother, whom he hath seen, how can he love God, whom he hath not seen?


t:
Whoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ, is born of God: and every one that loveth him that begat, loveth him also that is begotten by him.


t:
For whatever is born of God, overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.


t:
This is he that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that beareth testimony, because the Spirit is truth.


t:
For there are three that bear testimony in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit, and these three are one.


t:
And there are three that bear testimony on earth, the spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one.


t:
If we receive the testimony of men, the testimony of God is greater: for this is the testimony of God which he hath testified of his Son.


t:
He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God, hath made him a liar, because he hath not believed the testimony that God gave of his Son.


t:
These things have I written to you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.


t:
And this is the confidence that we have in him, that if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us:


t:
And if we know that he heareth us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired from him.


t:
If any man shall see his brother sin a sin which is not to death, he shall ask, and he will give him life for them that sin not to death. There is a sin to death: I do not say that he shall pray for it.


t:
We know that whoever is born of God, sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God, keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not.


t:
And we know that the Son of God hath come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.


t:
The elder to the elect lady, and her children, whom I love in the truth; and not I only, but also all they that have known the truth;


t:
Grace be with you, mercy, and peace from God the Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.


t:
I rejoiced greatly, that I found of thy children walking in truth, as we have received a commandment from the Father.


t:
And now I beseech thee, lady, not as though I wrote a new commandment to thee, but that which we had from the beginning, that we love one another.


t:
And this is love, that we walk according to his commandments. This is the commandment, that as ye have heard from the beginning, ye should walk in it.


t:
For many deceivers have entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver, and an antichrist.


t:
Whoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son.


t:
If any one cometh to you, and bringeth not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither wish him happiness:


t:
Having many things to write to you, I would not write with paper and ink: but I trust to come to you, and speak face to face, that our joy may be full.


t:
Who have borne testimony of thy charity before the church: whom if thou shalt bring forward on their journey after a godly sort, thou wilt do well:


t:
I wrote to the church: but Diotrephes, who loveth to have the pre-eminence among them, receiveth us not.


t:
Wherefore, if I come, I will remember his deeds which he doeth, prating against us with malicious words: and not content with that, neither doth he himself receive the brethren, and forbiddeth them that would, and casteth them out of the church.


t:
Demetrius hath good report by all men, and by the truth itself: and we also bear testimony; and ye know that our testimony is true.


t:
\\13:1\\and saw a beast rise out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.


t:
And the beast which I saw was like a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.


t:
And they worshiped the dragon which gave power to the beast: and they worshiped the beast, saying, Who is like the beast? who is able to make war with him?


t:
And there was given to him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given to him to continue forty and two months.


t:
And it was given to him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and languages, and nations.


t:
And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth, and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spoke as a dragon.


t:
And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them who dwell in it to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.


t:
And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and lived.


t:
And he had power to give life to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.


t:
And that no man might buy or sell, save him that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.


t:
Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is six hundred and sixty six.


t:
And I looked, and lo, a lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him a hundred and forty four thousand, having his Father's name written in their foreheads.


t:
And they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song but the hundred and forty four thousand, who were redeemed from the earth.


t:
These are they who were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they who follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being the first-fruits to God and to the Lamb.


t:
And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach to them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and language, and people,


t:
And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her lewdness.


t:
And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worshipeth the beast and his image, and receiveth his mark in his forehead, or in his hand,


t:
And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whoever receiveth the mark of his name.


t:
And I heard a voice from heaven, saying to me, Write, Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from henceforth: Verily, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labors; and their works follow them.


t:
And I looked, and behold, a white cloud, and upon the cloud one sat like the Son of man, having on his head a golden crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle.


t:
And another angel came out from the altar, who had power over fire; and cried with a loud cry to him that had the sharp sickle, saying, Thrust in thy sharp sickle, and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth; for her grapes are fully ripe.


t:
And the angel thrust in his sickle into the earth, and gathered the vine of the earth, and cast it into the great wine-press of the wrath of God.


t:
And the wine-press was trodden without the city, and blood came out of the wine-press, even to the horses' bridles, by the space of a thousand and six hundred furlongs.


t:
And I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvelous, seven angels having the seven last plagues; for in them is filled up the wrath of God.


t:
And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that had gained the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name, stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God.


t:
And they sing the song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and marvelous are thy works, Lord God Almighty; just and true are thy ways, thou King of saints.


t:
And after that I looked, and behold, the temple of the tabernacle of the testimony in heaven was opened:


t:
And one of the four living beings gave to the seven angels seven golden vials full of the wrath of God, who liveth for ever and ever.


t:
And I heard a great voice out of the temple, saying to the seven angels, Go, and pour out the vials of the wrath of God upon the earth.


t:
And the first went, and poured out his vial upon the earth; and there fell a noisome and grievous sore upon the men who had the mark of the beast, and upon them who worshiped his image.


t:
And I heard the angel of the waters say, Thou art righteous, O Lord, who art, and wast, and wilt be, because thou hast judged thus.


t:
And I heard another from the altar say, Even so, Lord God Almighty, true and righteous are thy judgments.


t:
And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun; and power was given to him to scorch men with fire.


t:
And men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the name of God, who hath power over these plagues: and they repented not to give him glory.


t:
And blasphemed the God of heaven, because of their pains and their sores, and repented not of their deeds.


t:
And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water of it was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared.


t:
For they are the spirits of demons, working miracles, which go forth to the kings of the earth, and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.


t:
And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such as hath not been since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great.


t:
And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give to her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath.


t:
And there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, every stone about the weight of a talent: and men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail; for the plague of it was exceeding great.


t:
And there came one of the seven angels who had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying to me, Come hither; I will show to thee the judgment of the great harlot that sitteth upon many waters;


t:
With whom the kings of the earth have committed lewd deeds, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her lewdness.


t:
So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet-colored beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.


t:
And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet-color, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her lewdness:


t:
And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS, AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.


t:
And the angel said to me, Why didst thou wonder? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns.


t:
The beast that thou sawest, was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.


t:
And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short time.


t:
And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, who have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.


t:
These will make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb will overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings; and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful.


t:
And he saith to me, The waters which thou sawest, where the harlot sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and languages.


t:
And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the harlot, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire.


t:
For God hath put in their hearts to fulfill his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom to the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled.


t:
And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of demons, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.


t:
For all nations have drank of the wine of the wrath of her lewdness, and the kings of the earth have committed lewd deeds with her, and the merchants of the earth have become rich through the abundance of her delicacies.


t:
Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double to her double according to her works: in the cup which she hath filled, fill to her double.


t:
And the kings of the earth, who have committed lewdness and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning,


t:
Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come.


t:
The merchandise of gold, and silver, and precious stones, and of pearls, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet, and all thyine wood, and all vessels of ivory, and all vessels of most precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and marble,


t:
And cinnamon, and odors, and ointments, and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and beasts, and sheep, and horses, and chariots, and slaves, and souls of men.


t:
And the fruits that thy soul lusted after have departed from thee, and all things which were dainty and goodly have departed from thee, and thou shalt find them no more at all.


t:
The merchants of these things who were made rich by her, shall stand afar off, for the fear of her torment, weeping and wailing,


t:
And saying, Alas, alas, that great city, that was clothed in fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold, and precious stones, and pearls!


t:
For in one hour so great riches is come to naught. And every ship-master, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off,


t:
And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas, that great city, in which were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her opulence! for in one hour is she made desolate.


t:
And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying, Thus with violence shall that great city Babylon be thrown down, and shall be no more found.


t:
And the voice of harpers, and musicians, and of pipers, and trumpeters, shall be no more heard in thee; and no artificer, of whatever craft he be, shall be found any more in thee; and the sound of a millstone shall be no more heard in thee;


t:
And the light of a candle shall shine no more in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived.


t:
And after these things I heard a great voice of many people in heaven, saying, Alleluia: Salvation, and glory, and honor, and power, to the Lord our God:


t:
For true and righteous are his judgments: for he hath judged the great harlot, who corrupted the earth with her lewdness, and hath avenged the blood of his servants at her hand.


t:
And the four and twenty elders and the four living beings fell down and worshiped God who sat on the throne, saying, Amen; Alleluia.


t:
Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honor to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.


t:
And he saith to me, Write, Blessed are they who are called to the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith to me, These are the true sayings of God.


t:
And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said to me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellow-servant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.


t:
And I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.


t:
And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the wine-press of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.


t:
And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come, and assemble yourselves to the supper of the great God;


t:
And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, assembled to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army.


t:
And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshiped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.


t:
And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceedeth out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh.


t:
And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years.


t:
And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled; and after that he must be loosed a little season.


t:
And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given to them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the testimony of Jesus, and for the word of God, and who had not worshiped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.


t:
And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea.


t:
And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and encompassed the camp of the saints, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them.


t:
And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of the things which were written in the books, according to their works.


t:
And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away; and there was no more sea.


t:
And I heard a great voice out of heaven, saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself will be with them, and be their God.


t:
And God will wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things have passed away.


t:
And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said to me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.


t:
And he said to me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give to him that is thirsty of the fountain of the water of life freely.


t:
But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and lewd men, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.


t:
And there came to me one of the seven angels, who had the seven vials full of the seven last plagues, and talked with me, saying, Come hither, I will show thee the bride, the Lamb's wife.


t:
And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and showed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God,


t:
Having the glory of God: and her light was like to a stone most precious, even like a jasper-stone, clear as crystal;


t:
And had a wall great and high, and had twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names written on them, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel.


t:
And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.


t:
And the city lieth foursquare, and the length is as large as the breadth: and he measured the city with the reed, twelve thousand furlongs. The length and the breadth and the hight of it are equal.


t:
And he measured the wall of it a hundred and forty four cubits, according to the measure of a man, that is, of the angel.


t:
The fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolite; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, a topaz; the tenth, a chrysoprase; the eleventh, a jacinth; the twelfth, an amethyst.


t:
And the twelve gates were twelve pearls; every several gate was of one pearl; and the street of the city was pure gold, as it were transparent glass.


t:
And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God enlightened it, and the Lamb is the light of it.


t:
And the nations of them who are saved shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of the earth bring their glory and honor into it.


t:
And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie; but they who are written in the Lamb's book of life.


t:
And he showed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.


t:
In the midst of the street of it, and on each side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bore twelve kinds of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.


t:
And he said to me, These sayings are faithful and true. And the Lord God of the holy prophets sent his angel to show to his servants the things which must shortly be done.


t:
And I John saw these things, and heard them. And when I had heard and seen, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel who showed me these things.


t:
Then saith he to me, See thou do it not: for I am thy fellow-servant, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them who keep the sayings of this book: worship God.


t:
He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he who is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still.


t:
And behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give to every man according as his work shall be.


t:
For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and lewd men, and murderers, and idolaters, and whoever loveth and maketh a lie.


t:
I Jesus have sent my angel to testify to you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning-star.


t:
And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth, say, Come. And let him that is thirsty, come: And whoever will, let him take the water of life freely.


t:
For I testify to every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, if any man shall add to these things, God will add to him the plagues that are written in this book:


t:
And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.
