⁶⁴ Jesus saith to him, `Thou hast said; nevertheless I say to you, hereafter ye shall see the Son of Man sitting on the right hand of the power, and coming upon the clouds, of the heaven.'

²⁶ `And then they shall see the Son of Man coming in clouds with much power and glory,

⁶² and Jesus said, `I am; and ye shall see the Son of Man sitting on the right hand of the power, and coming with the clouds, of the heaven.'

²⁷ `And then they shall see the Son of Man, coming in a cloud, with power and much glory;

²⁸ and Jesus having turned unto them, said, `Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but for yourselves weep ye, and for your children; ²⁹ for, lo, days do come, in which they shall say, Happy the barren, and wombs that did not bare, and paps that did not give suck; ³⁰ then they shall begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us, and to the hills, Cover us; —

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

³⁷ and again another Writing saith, `They shall look to him whom they did pierce.'

⁹ And these things having said—they beholding—he was taken up, and a cloud did receive him up from their sight; ¹⁰ and as they were looking stedfastly to the heaven in his going on, then, lo, two men stood by them in white apparel, ¹¹ who also said, `Men, Galileans, why do ye stand gazing into the heaven? this Jesus who was received up from you into the heaven, shall so come in what manner ye saw him going on to the heaven.'

¹⁰ and to wait for His Son from the heavens, whom He did raise out of the dead—Jesus, who is rescuing us from the anger that is coming.

¹⁷ then we who are living, who are remaining over, together with them shall be caught away in clouds to meet the Lord in air, and so always with the Lord we shall be;

⁶ and having fallen away, again to renew them to reformation, having crucified again to themselves the Son of God, and exposed to public shame.

²⁹ of how much sorer punishment shall he be counted worthy who the Son of God did trample on, and the blood of the covenant did count a common thing, in which he was sanctified, and to the Spirit of the grace did despite?

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

¹⁴ And prophesy also to these did the seventh from Adam—Enoch—saying, `Lo, the Lord did come in His saintly myriads,

¹⁵ and the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich, and the chiefs of thousands, and the mighty, and every servant, and every freeman, hid themselves in the dens, and in the rocks of the mountains, ¹⁶ and they say to the mountains and to the rocks, `Fall upon us, and hide us from the face of Him who is sitting upon the throne, and from the anger of the Lamb,' ¹⁷ because come did the great day of His anger, and who is able to stand?

¹⁴ And I saw, and lo, a white cloud, and upon the cloud one sitting like to a son of man, having upon his head a golden crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle; ¹⁵ and another messenger did come forth out of the sanctuary crying in a great voice to him who is sitting upon the cloud, `Send forth thy sickle and reap, because come to thee hath the hour of reaping, because ripe hath been the harvest of the earth;' ¹⁶ and he who is sitting upon the cloud did put forth his sickle upon the earth, and the earth was reaped.

¹⁵ The merchants of these things, who were made rich by her, far off shall stand because of the fear of her torment, weeping, and sorrowing, ¹⁶ and saying, Woe, woe, the great city, that was arrayed with fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and gilded in gold, and precious stone, and pearls—because in one hour so much riches were made waste! ¹⁷ `And every shipmaster, and all the company upon the ships, and sailors, and as many as work the sea, far off stood, <sup>18</sup> and were crying, seeing the smoke of her burning, saying, What city is like to the great city? <sup>19</sup> and they did cast dust upon their heads, and were crying out, weeping and sorrowing, saying, Woe, woe, the great city! in which were made rich all having ships in the sea, out of her costliness—for in one hour was she made waste. <sup>20</sup> `Be glad over her, O heaven, and ye holy apostles and prophets, because God did judge your judgment of her!'

¹ And after these things I heard a great voice of a great multitude in the heaven, saying, `Alleluia! the salvation, and the glory, and the honour, and the power, is to the Lord our God; <sup>2</sup> because true and righteous are His judgments, because He did judge the great whore who did corrupt the earth in her whoredom, and He did avenge the blood of His servants at her hand;' <sup>3</sup> and a second time they said, `Alleluia;' and her smoke doth come up—to the ages of the ages!

⁴ and they shall see His face, and His name is upon their foreheads,

¹ And Abram is a son of ninety and nine years, and Jehovah appeareth unto Abram, and saith unto him, `I am God Almighty, walk habitually before Me, and be thou perfect;

³ and God Almighty doth bless thee, and make thee fruitful, and multiply thee, and thou hast become an assembly of peoples;

¹¹ And God saith to him, `I am God Almighty; be fruitful and multiply, a nation and an assembly of nations is from thee, and kings from thy loins go out;

¹⁴ and God Almighty give to you mercies before the man, so that he hath sent to you your other brother and Benjamin; and I, when I am bereaved—I am bereaved.'

³ And Jacob saith unto Joseph, `God Almighty hath appeared unto me, in Luz, in the land of Canaan, and blesseth me,

²⁵ By the God of thy father who helpeth thee, And the Mighty One who blesseth thee, Blessings of the heavens from above, Blessings of the deep lying under, Blessings of breasts and womb; —

³ and I appear unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, as God Almighty; as to My name Jehovah, I have not been known to them;

⁴ An affirmation of him who is hearing sayings of God—Who a vision of the Almighty seeth, Falling—and eyes uncovered:

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

¹⁰ Ye are My witnesses, an affirmation of Jehovah, And My servant whom I have chosen, So that ye know and give credence to Me, And understand that I am He, Before Me there was no God formed, And after Me there is none.

⁶ Thus said Jehovah, king of Israel, And his Redeemer, Jehovah of Hosts: `I am the first, and I the last, And besides Me there is no God.

¹² Hearken to me, O Jacob, and Israel, My called one, I am He, I am first, and I am last;

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

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

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

¹⁷ saying, `We give thanks to Thee, O Lord God, the Almighty, who art, and who wast, and who art coming, because Thou hast taken Thy great power and didst reign;

¹⁴ for they are spirits of demons, doing signs—which go forth unto the kings of the earth, and of the whole world, to bring them together to the battle of that great day of God the Almighty; —

¹⁵ and out of his mouth doth proceed a sharp sword, that with it he may smite the nations, and he shall rule them with a rod of iron, and he doth tread the press of the wine of the wrath and the anger of God the Almighty,

⁶ and He said to me, `It hath been done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End; I, to him who is thirsting, will give of the fountain of the water of the life freely;

²² And a sanctuary I did not see in it, for the Lord God, the Almighty, is its sanctuary, and the Lamb,

¹³ I am the Alpha and the Omega—the Beginning and End—the First and the Last.

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

²² confirming the souls of the disciples, exhorting to remain in the faith, and that through many tribulations it behoveth us to enter into the reign of God,

⁷ to those, indeed, who in continuance of a good work, do seek glory, and honour, and incorruptibility—life age-during; ⁸ and to those contentious, and disobedient, indeed, to the truth, and obeying the unrighteousness—indignation and wrath,

³ And not only so, but we also boast in the tribulations, knowing that the tribulation doth work endurance; ⁴ and the endurance, experience; and the experience, hope;

¹⁷ and if children, also heirs, heirs, indeed, of God, and heirs together of Christ—if, indeed, we suffer together, that we may also be glorified together.

²⁵ and if what we do not behold we hope for, through continuance we expect it .

⁹ for I think that God did set forth us the apostles last—as appointed to death, because a spectacle we became to the world, and messengers, and men; ¹⁰ we are fools because of Christ, and ye wise in Christ; we are ailing, and ye strong; ye glorious, and we dishonoured; ¹¹ unto the present hour we both hunger, and thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted, and wander about, ¹² and labour, working with our own hands; being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we suffer; ¹³ being spoken evil of, we entreat; as filth of the world we did become—of all things an offscouring—till now.

⁷ according as it is righteous for me to think this in behalf of you all, because of my having you in the heart, both in my bonds, and in the defence and confirmation of the good news, all of you being fellow-partakers with me of grace.

¹⁴ but ye did well, having communicated with my tribulation;

⁴ so that we ourselves do glory in you in the assemblies of God, for your endurance and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations that ye bear;
⁵ a token of the righteous judgment of God, for your being counted worthy of the reign of God, for which also ye suffer,

⁵ and the Lord direct your hearts to the love of God, and to the endurance of the Christ.

⁸ therefore thou mayest not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner, but do thou suffer evil along with the good news according to the power of God,

³ thou, therefore, suffer evil as a good soldier of Jesus Christ; ⁴ no one serving as a soldier did entangle himself with the affairs of life, that him who did enlist him he may please; ⁵ and if also any one may strive, he is not crowned, except he may strive lawfully; ⁶ the labouring husbandman it behoveth first of the fruits to partake; ⁷ be considering what things I say, for the Lord give to thee understanding in all things.
⁸ Remember Jesus Christ, raised out of the dead, of the seed of David, according to my good news, ⁹ in which I suffer evil—unto bonds, as an evil-doer, but the word of God hath not been bound; ¹⁰ because of this all things do I endure, because of the choice ones, that they also salvation may obtain that is in Christ Jesus, with glory age-during. ¹¹ Stedfast is the word: For if we died together—we also shall live together; ¹² if we do endure together—we shall also reign together; if we deny him, he also shall deny us;

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

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

² who did testify the word of God, and the testimony of Jesus Christ, as many things also as he did see.

⁹ I have known thy works, and tribulation, and poverty—yet thou art rich—and the evil-speaking of those saying themselves to be Jews, and are not, but are a synagogue of the Adversary. ¹⁰ `Be not afraid of the things that thou art about to suffer; lo, the devil is about to cast of you to prison, that ye may be tried, and ye shall have tribulation ten days; become thou faithful unto death, and I will give to thee the crown of the life.

¹⁰ `Because thou didst keep the word of my endurance, I also will keep thee from the hour of the trial that is about to come upon all the world, to try those dwelling upon the earth.

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

¹⁰ if any one a captivity doth gather, into captivity he doth go away; if any one by sword doth kill, it behoveth him by sword to be killed; here is the endurance and the faith of the saints.

¹² Here is endurance of the saints: here are those keeping the commands of God, and the faith of Jesus.'

¹⁰ and I fell before his feet, to bow before him, and he saith to me, `See—not! fellow servant of thee am I, and of thy brethren, those having the testimony of Jesus; bow before God, for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of the prophecy.'

⁴³ He saith to them, `How then doth David in the Spirit call him lord, saying,

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

²⁶ And after eight days, again were his disciples within, and Thomas with them; Jesus cometh, the doors having been shut, and he stood in the midst, and said, `Peace to you!'

¹⁰ and he became very hungry, and wished to eat; and they making ready, there fell upon him a trance, ¹¹ and he doth behold the heaven opened, and descending unto him a certain vessel, as a great sheet, bound at the four corners, and let down upon the earth, ¹² in which were all the four-footed beasts of the earth, and the wild beasts, and the creeping things, and the fowls of the heaven, ¹³ and there came a voice unto him: `Having risen, Peter, slay and eat.' <sup>14</sup> And Peter said, `Not so, Lord; because at no time did I eat anything common or unclean;' ¹⁵ and there is a voice again a second time unto him: `What God did cleanse, thou, declare not thou common;' <sup>16</sup> and this was done thrice, and again was the vessel received up to the heaven. <sup>17</sup> And as Peter was perplexed in himself what the vision that he saw might be, then, lo, the men who have been sent from Cornelius, having made inquiry for the house of Simon, stood at the gate, <sup>18</sup> and having called, they were asking if Simon, who is surnamed Peter, doth lodge here?
<sup>19</sup> And Peter thinking about the vision, the Spirit said to him, `Lo, three men do seek thee; ²⁰ but having risen, go down and go on with them, nothing doubting, because I have sent them;' ²¹ and Peter having come down unto the men who have been sent from Cornelius unto him, said, `Lo, I am he whom ye seek, what is the cause for which ye are present?' <sup>22</sup> And they said, `Cornelius, a centurion, a man righteous and fearing God, well testified to, also, by all the nation of the Jews, was divinely warned by a holy messenger to send for thee, to his house, and to hear sayings from thee.' ²³ Having called them in, therefore, he lodged them, and on the morrow Peter went forth with them, and certain of the brethren from Joppa went with him, ²⁴ and on the morrow they did enter into Caesarea; and Cornelius was waiting for them, having called together his kindred and near friends, ²⁵ and as it came that Peter entered in, Cornelius having met him, having fallen at his feet, did bow before him; ²⁶ and Peter raised him, saying, `Stand up; I also myself am a man;' <sup>27</sup> and talking with him he went in, and doth find many having come together. <sup>28</sup> And he said unto them, `Ye know how it is unlawful for a man, a Jew, to keep company with, or to come unto, one of another race, but to me God did shew to call no man common or unclean; ²⁹ therefore also without gainsaying I came, having been sent for; I ask, therefore, for what matter ye did send for me?' ³⁰ And Cornelius said, `Four days ago till this hour, I was fasting, and at the ninth hour praying in my house, and, lo, a man stood before me in bright clothing, ³¹ and he said, Cornelius, thy prayer was heard, and thy kind acts were remembered before God; ³² send, therefore, to Joppa, and call for Simon, who is surnamed Peter; this one doth lodge in the house of Simon a tanner, by the sea, who having come, shall speak to thee; ³³ at once, therefore, I sent to thee; thou also didst do well, having come; now, therefore, are we all before God present to hear all things that have been commanded thee by God.'

⁷ And on the first of the week, the disciples having been gathered together to break bread, Paul was discoursing to them, about to depart on the morrow, he was also continuing the discourse till midnight,

² on every first day of the week, let each one of you lay by him, treasuring up whatever he may have prospered, that when I may come then collections may not be made;

² I have known a man in Christ, fourteen years ago—whether in the body I have not known, whether out of the body I have not known, God hath known—such an one being caught away unto the third heaven; ³ and I have known such a man—whether in the body, whether out of the body, I have not known, God hath known, — ⁴ that he was caught away to the paradise, and heard unutterable sayings, that it is not possible for man to speak.

¹ After these things I saw, and lo, a door opened in the heaven, and the first voice that I heard is as of a trumpet speaking with me, saying, `Come up hither, and I will shew thee what it behoveth to come to pass after these things;' ² and immediately I was in the Spirit, and lo, a throne was set in the heaven, and upon the throne is one sitting,

³ and he cried with a great voice, as a lion doth roar, and when he cried, speak out did the seven thunders their voices; ⁴ and when the seven thunders spake their voices, I was about to write, and I heard a voice out of the heaven saying to me, `Seal the things that the seven thunders spake,' and, `Thou mayest not write these things.' ⁵ And the messenger whom I saw standing upon the sea, and upon the land, did lift up his hand to the heaven, ⁶ and did swear in Him who doth live to the ages of the ages, who did create the heaven and the things in it, and the land and the things in it, and the sea and the things in it—that time shall not be yet, ⁷ but in the days of the voice of the seventh messenger, when he may be about to sound, and the secret of God may be finished, as He did declare to His own servants, to the prophets.
⁸ And the voice that I heard out of the heaven is again speaking with me, and saying, `Go, take the little scroll that is open in the hand of the messenger who hath been standing upon the sea, and upon the land:'

³ and he carried me away to a wilderness in the Spirit, and I saw a woman sitting upon a scarlet-coloured beast, full of names of evil-speaking, having seven heads and ten horns,

¹⁰ and he carried me away in the Spirit to a mountain great and high, and did shew to me the great city, the holy Jerusalem, coming down out of the heaven from God,

¹⁹ `And now, write for you this song, and teach it the sons of Israel; put it in their mouths, so that this song is to Me for a witness against the sons of Israel,

⁸ No, go in, write it on a tablet with them, And on a book engrave it, And it is for a latter day, for a witness unto the age,

² `Thus spake Jehovah, God of Israel, saying, Write for thee all the words that I have spoken unto thee on a book.

² And Jehovah answereth me and saith: `Write a vision, and explain on the tables, That he may run who is reading it.

¹⁹ and he came down to Ephesus, and did leave them there, and he himself having entered into the synagogue did reason with the Jews: ²⁰ and they having requested him to remain a longer time with them, he did not consent, ²¹ but took leave of them, saying, `It behoveth me by all means the coming feast to keep at Jerusalem, and again I will return unto you—God willing.' And he sailed from Ephesus,

²⁴ And a certain Jew, Apollos by name, an Alexandrian by birth, a man of eloquence, being mighty in the Writings, came to Ephesus,

¹ And it came to pass, in Apollos' being in Corinth, Paul having gone through the upper parts, came to Ephesus, and having found certain disciples, ² he said unto them, `The Holy Spirit did ye receive—having believed?' and they said unto him, `But we did not even hear whether there is any Holy Spirit;' ³ and he said unto them, `To what, then, were ye baptized?' and they said, `To John's baptism.' ⁴ And Paul said, `John, indeed, did baptize with a baptism of reformation, saying to the people that in him who is coming after him they should believe—that is, in the Christ—Jesus;' <sup>5</sup> and they, having heard, were baptized—to the name of the Lord Jesus, <sup>6</sup> and Paul having laid on them his hands, the Holy Spirit came upon them, they were speaking also with tongues, and prophesying, <sup>7</sup> and all the men were, as it were, twelve.
<sup>8</sup> And having gone into the synagogue, he was speaking boldly for three months, reasoning and persuading the things concerning the reign of God, <sup>9</sup> and when certain were hardened and were disbelieving, speaking evil of the way before the multitude, having departed from them, he did separate the disciples, every day reasoning in the school of a certain Tyrannus. <sup>10</sup> And this happened for two years so that all those dwelling in Asia did hear the word of the Lord Jesus, both Jews and Greeks, <sup>11</sup> mighty works also—not common—was God working through the hands of Paul, <sup>12</sup> so that even unto the ailing were brought from his body handkerchiefs or aprons, and the sicknesses departed from them; the evil spirits also went forth from them.
<sup>13</sup> And certain of the wandering exorcist Jews, took upon them to name over those having the evil spirits the name of the Lord Jesus, saying, `We adjure you by Jesus, whom Paul doth preach;' ¹⁴ and there were certain—seven sons of Sceva, a Jew, a chief priest—who are doing this thing; ¹⁵ and the evil spirit, answering, said, `Jesus I know, and Paul I am acquainted with; and ye—who are ye?' <sup>16</sup> And the man, in whom was the evil spirit, leaping upon them, and having overcome them, prevailed against them, so that naked and wounded they did flee out of that house, <sup>17</sup> and this became known to all, both Jews and Greeks, who are dwelling at Ephesus, and fear fell upon them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was being magnified, <sup>18</sup> many also of those who did believe were coming, confessing and declaring their acts, <sup>19</sup> and many of those who had practised the curious arts, having brought the books together, were burning them before all; and they reckoned together the prices of them, and found it five myriads of silverlings; <sup>20</sup> so powerfully was the word of God increasing and prevailing.
<sup>21</sup> And when these things were fulfilled, Paul purposed in the Spirit, having gone through Macedonia and Achaia, to go on to Jerusalem, saying—`After my being there, it behoveth me also to see Rome;' ²² and having sent to Macedonia two of those ministering to him—Timotheus and Erastus—he himself stayed a time in Asia. ²³ And there came, at that time, not a little stir about the way, ²⁴ for a certain one, Demetrius by name, a worker in silver, making silver sanctuaries of Artemis, was bringing to the artificers gain not a little, ²⁵ whom, having brought in a crowd together, and those who did work about such things, he said, `Men, ye know that by this work we have our wealth; <sup>26</sup> and ye see and hear, that not only at Ephesus, but almost in all Asia, this Paul, having persuaded, did turn away a great multitude, saying, that they are not gods who are made by hands; <sup>27</sup> and not only is this department in danger for us of coming into disregard, but also, that of the great goddess Artemis the temple is to be reckoned for nothing, and also her greatness is about to be brought down, whom all Asia and the world doth worship.' <sup>28</sup> And they having heard, and having become full of wrath, were crying out, saying, `Great is the Artemis of the Ephesians!' ²⁹ and the whole city was filled with confusion, they rushed also with one accord into the theatre, having caught Gaius and Aristarchus, Macedonians, Paul's fellow-travellers. ³⁰ And on Paul's purposing to enter in unto the populace, the disciples were not suffering him, ³¹ and certain also of the chief men of Asia, being his friends, having sent unto him, were entreating him not to venture himself into the theatre. ³² Some indeed, therefore, were calling out one thing, and some another, for the assembly was confused, and the greater part did not know for what they were come together; ³³ and out of the multitude they put forward Alexander—the Jews thrusting him forward—and Alexander having beckoned with the hand, wished to make defence to the populace, ³⁴ and having known that he is a Jew, one voice came out of all, for about two hours, crying, `Great is the Artemis of the Ephesians!' <sup>35</sup> And the public clerk having quieted the multitude, saith, `Men, Ephesians, why, who is the man that doth not know that the city of the Ephesians is a devotee of the great goddess Artemis, and of that which fell down from Zeus? ³⁶ these things, then, not being to be gainsaid, it is necessary for you to be quiet, and to do nothing rashly. ³⁷ `For ye brought these men, who are neither temple-robbers nor speaking evil of your goddess; <sup>38</sup> if indeed, therefore, Demetrius and the artificers with him with any one have a matter, court days are held, and there are proconsuls; let them accuse one another. <sup>39</sup> `And if ye seek after anything concerning other matters, in the legal assembly it shall be determined; ⁴⁰ for we are also in peril of being accused of insurrection in regard to this day, there being no occasion by which we shall be able to give an account of this concourse;' ⁴¹ and these things having said, he dismissed the assembly.

¹⁷ And from Miletus, having sent to Ephesus, he called for the elders of the assembly,

³² if after the manner of a man with wild beasts I fought in Ephesus, what the advantage to me if the dead do not rise? let us eat and drink, for to-morrow we die!

⁸ and I will remain in Ephesus till the Pentecost,

¹ Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, to the saints who are in Ephesus, and to the faithful in Christ Jesus:

¹⁵ salute ye those in Laodicea—brethren, and Nymphas, and the assembly in his house; ¹⁶ and when the epistle may be read with you, cause that also in the assembly of the Laodiceans it may be read, and the epistle from Laodicea that ye also may read;

³ according as I did exhort thee to remain in Ephesus—I going on to Macedonia—that thou mightest charge certain not to teach any other thing,

¹⁹ `Write the things that thou hast seen, and the things that are, and the things that are about to come after these things;

⁴ and when the seven thunders spake their voices, I was about to write, and I heard a voice out of the heaven saying to me, `Seal the things that the seven thunders spake,' and, `Thou mayest not write these things.'

¹³ And I heard a voice out of the heaven saying to me, `Write: Happy are the dead who in the Lord are dying from this time!' `Yes, (saith the Spirit,) That they may rest from their labours—and their works do follow them!'

⁹ And he saith to me, `Write: Happy are they who to the supper of the marriage of the Lamb have been called;' and he saith to me, `These are the true words of God;'

⁵ And He who is sitting upon the throne said, `Lo, new I make all things; and He saith to me, `Write, because these words are true and stedfast;'

³⁷ and thou hast made its seven lamps, and one hath caused its lights to go up, and it hath given light over-against its front.

⁵ And take me up doth the Spirit, and bringeth me in unto the inner court, and lo, the honour of Jehovah hath filled the house. ⁶ And I hear one speaking unto me from the house, and a man hath been standing near me,

⁹ A voice of Jehovah to the city calleth, And wisdom doth fear Thy name, Hear ye the rod, and Him who appointed it.

² and he saith unto me, `What art thou seeing?' And I say, `I have looked, and lo, a candlestick of gold—all of it, and its bowl is on its top, and its seven lamps are upon it, and twice seven pipes are to the lights that are on its top,

¹³ and in the midst of the seven lamp-stands, one like to a son of man, clothed to the foot, and girt round at the breast with a golden girdle,

⁶ and have made the ephod of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and twined linen, work of a designer; ⁷ it hath two shoulders joining at its two ends, and it is joined. ⁸ `And the girdle of his ephod which is on him, according to its work, is of the same, of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and twined linen.

⁵ And the girdle of his ephod which is on it is of the same, according to its work, of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and twined linen, as Jehovah hath commanded Moses.

⁷ and doth put on him the coat, and doth gird him with the girdle, and doth clothe him with the upper robe, and doth put on him the ephod, and doth gird him with the girdle of the ephod, and doth bind it to him with it,

⁵ And righteousness hath been the girdle of his loins, And faithfulness—the girdle of his reins.

²⁶ And above the expanse that is over their head, as an appearance of a sapphire stone, is the likeness of a throne, and on the likeness of the throne a likeness, as the appearance of man upon it from above. ²⁷ And I see as the colour of copper, as the appearance of fire within it round about, from the appearance of his loins and upward, and from the appearance of his loins and downward, I have seen as the appearance of fire, and brightness is to it round about. ²⁸ As the appearance of the bow that is in a cloud in a day of rain, so is the appearance of the brightness round about.

⁹ `I was seeing till that thrones have been thrown down, and the Ancient of Days is seated, His garment as snow is white, and the hair of his head is as pure wool, His throne flames of fire, its wheels burning fire.

⁵ and I lift up mine eyes, and look, and lo, a certain one clothed in linen, and his loins girt with pure gold of Uphaz, ⁶ and his body as a beryl, and his face as the appearance of lightning, and his eyes as lamps of fire, and his arms and his feet as the aspect of bright brass, and the voice of his words as the voice of a multitude.

¹⁶ and lo, as the manner of the sons of men, he is striking against my lips, and I open my mouth, and I speak, and say unto him who is standing over-against me: My lord, by the appearance turned have been my pangs against me, and I have retained no power.

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

¹⁴ Seeing, then, the children have partaken of flesh and blood, he himself also in like manner did take part of the same, that through death he might destroy him having the power of death—that is, the devil— ¹⁵ and might deliver those, whoever, with fear of death, throughout all their life, were subjects of bondage, ¹⁶ for, doubtless, of messengers it doth not lay hold, but of seed of Abraham it layeth hold, ¹⁷ wherefore it did behove him in all things to be made like to the brethren, that he might become a kind and stedfast chief-priest in the things with God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people,

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

¹⁴ And I saw, and lo, a white cloud, and upon the cloud one sitting like to a son of man, having upon his head a golden crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle;

⁶ and come forth did the seven messengers having the seven plagues, out of the sanctuary, clothed in linen, pure and shining, and girded round the breasts with golden girdles:

⁶ and his body as a beryl, and his face as the appearance of lightning, and his eyes as lamps of fire, and his arms and his feet as the aspect of bright brass, and the voice of his words as the voice of a multitude.

³ and his countenance was as lightning, and his clothing white as snow,

¹² and his eyes are as a flame of fire, and upon his head are many diadems—having a name written that no one hath known, except himself,

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

¹³ Nations as the wasting of many waters are wasted, And He hath pushed against it, And it hath fled afar off, And been pursued as chaff of hills before wind, And as a rolling thing before a hurricane.

⁷ and their feet are straight feet, and the sole of their feet is as a sole of a calf's foot, and they are sparkling as the colour of bright brass;

³ And He bringeth me in thither, and lo, a man, his appearance as the appearance of brass, and a thread of flax in his hand, and a measuring-reed, and he is standing at the gate,

² And lo, the honour of the God of Israel hath come from the way of the east, and His voice is as the noise of many waters, and the earth hath shone from His honour.

² and I heard a voice out of the heaven, as a voice of many waters, and as a voice of great thunder, and a voice I heard of harpers harping with their harps,

⁶ and I heard as the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, `Alleluia! because reign did the Lord God—the Almighty!

⁷ In the singing together of stars of morning, And all sons of God shout for joy,

⁴ And he hath judged in righteousness the poor, And decided in uprightness for the humble of earth, And hath smitten earth with the rod of his mouth, And with the breath of his lips he putteth the wicked to death.

²³ And confounded hath been the moon, And ashamed hath been the sun, For reigned hath Jehovah of Hosts In mount Zion, and in Jerusalem, And over-against His elders—honour!

² And he maketh my mouth as a sharp sword, In the shadow of His hand He hath hid me, And He maketh me for a clear arrow, In His quiver He hath hid me.

¹⁹ To thee no more is the sun for a light by day, And for brightness the moon giveth not light to thee, And Jehovah hath become to thee A light age-during, and thy God thy beauty. ²⁰ Thy sun goeth no more in, And thy moon is not removed, For Jehovah becometh to thee a light age-during. And the days of thy mourning have been completed.

¹⁰ yea, it exerteth unto the host of the heavens, and causeth to fall to the earth of the host, and of the stars, and trampleth them down.

³ And those teaching do shine as the brightness of the expanse, and those justifying the multitude as stars to the age and for ever.

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

² and he was transfigured before them, and his face shone as the sun, and his garments did become white as the light,

¹³ at mid-day, I saw in the way, O king, out of heaven, above the brightness of the sun, shining round about me a light—and those going on with me;

¹⁷ and the helmet of the salvation receive, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the saying of God,

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

¹⁶ `Reform! and if not, I come to thee quickly, and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth.

¹ And I saw another strong messenger coming down out of the heaven, arrayed with a cloud, and a rainbow upon the head, and his face as the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire,

¹ And a great sign was seen in the heaven, a woman arrayed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars,

²¹ and the rest were killed with the sword of him who is sitting on the horse, which sword is proceeding out of his mouth, and all the birds were filled out of their flesh.

¹ After these things hath the word of Jehovah been unto Abram in a vision, saying, `Fear not, Abram, I am a shield to thee, thy reward is exceeding great.'

¹³ And Moses saith unto the people, `Fear not, station yourselves, and see the salvation of Jehovah, which He doth for you to-day; for, as ye have seen the Egyptians to-day, ye add no more to see them—to the age;

²⁰ And Moses saith unto the people, `Fear not, for to try you hath God come, and in order that His fear may be before your faces—that ye sin not.'

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

²⁸ As the appearance of the bow that is in a cloud in a day of rain, so is the appearance of the brightness round about.

¹⁷ And he cometh in near my station, and at his coming in I have been afraid, and I fall on my face, and he saith unto me: Understand, son of man, for at the time of the end is the vision. ¹⁸ And in his speaking with me, I have been in a trance on my face, on the earth; and he cometh against me, and causeth me to stand on my station,

⁸ and I have been left by myself, and I see this great appearance, and there hath been no power left in me, and my honour hath been turned in me to corruption, yea, I have not retained power. ⁹ `And I hear the voice of his words, and when I hear the voice of his words, then I have been in a trance on my face, and my face is to the earth;
¹⁰ and lo, a hand hath come against me, and shaketh me on my knees and the palms of my hands.

¹² And he saith unto me: Do not fear, Daniel, for from the first day that thou didst give thy heart to understand, and to humble thyself before thy God, thy words have been heard, and I have come because of thy words.

¹⁵ `And when he speaketh with me about these things, I have set my face toward the earth, and have been silent;

¹⁷ And how is the servant of this my lord able to speak with this my lord? as for me, henceforth there remaineth in me no power, yea, breath hath not been left in me. ¹⁸ `And he addeth, and striketh against me, as the appearance of a man, and strengtheneth me, ¹⁹ and he saith: Do not fear, O man greatly desired, peace to thee, be strong, yea, be strong; and when he speaketh with me, I have strengthened myself, and I say, Let my lord speak, for thou hast strengthened me.

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

² and he was transfigured before them, and his face shone as the sun, and his garments did become white as the light, ³ and lo, appear to them did Moses and Elijah, talking together with him. ⁴ And Peter answering said to Jesus, `Sir, it is good to us to be here; if thou wilt, we may make here three booths—for thee one, and for Moses one, and one for Elijah.' <sup>5</sup> While he is yet speaking, lo, a bright cloud overshadowed them, and lo, a voice out of the cloud, saying, `This is My Son, —the Beloved, in whom I did delight; hear him.' ⁶ And the disciples having heard, did fall upon their face, and were exceedingly afraid, ⁷ and Jesus having come near, touched them, and said, `Rise, be not afraid,'

⁴ and from the fear of him did the keepers shake, and they became as dead men.

⁵ and having entered into the sepulchre, they saw a young man sitting on the right hand, arrayed in a long white robe, and they were amazed. ⁶ And he saith to them, `Be not amazed, ye seek Jesus the Nazarene, the crucified: he did rise—he is not here; lo, the place where they laid him!

³⁷ and being amazed, and becoming affrighted, they were thinking themselves to see a spirit. ³⁸ And he said to them, `Why are ye troubled? and wherefore do reasonings come up in your hearts? ³⁹ see my hands and my feet, that I am he; handle me and see, because a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me having.'

²³ And there was one of his disciples reclining (at meat) in the bosom of Jesus, whom Jesus was loving;

²⁰ And Peter having turned about doth see the disciple whom Jesus was loving following, (who also reclined in the supper on his breast, and said, `Sir, who is he who is delivering thee up?')

²⁵ That—I have known my Redeemer, The Living and the Last, For the dust he doth rise.

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

²⁰ God Himself is to us a God for deliverances, And Jehovah Lord hath the outgoings of death.

²² And I have placed the key Of the house of David on his shoulder, And he hath opened, and none is shutting, And hath shut, and none is opening.

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

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

⁹ knowing that Christ, having been raised up out of the dead, doth no more die, death over him hath no more lordship;

⁸ for both, if we may live, to the Lord we live; if also we may die, to the Lord we die; both then if we may live, also if we may die, we are the Lord's; ⁹ for because of this Christ both died and rose again, and lived again, that both of dead and of living he may be Lord.

¹⁴ for the love of the Christ doth constrain us, having judged thus: that if one for all died, then the whole died, ¹⁵ and for all he died, that those living, no more to themselves may live, but to him who died for them, and was raised again.

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

³ for ye did die, and your life hath been hid with the Christ in God;

³ who being the brightness of the glory, and the impress of His subsistence, bearing up also the all things by the saying of his might—through himself having made a cleansing of our sins, sat down at the right hand of the greatness in the highest,

¹⁶ who came not according to the law of a fleshly command, but according to the power of an endless life,

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

² looking to the author and perfecter of faith—Jesus, who, over-against the joy set before him—did endure a cross, shame having despised, on the right hand also of the throne of God did sit down;

⁹ and when the living creatures do give glory, and honour, and thanks, to Him who is sitting upon the throne, who is living to the ages of the ages,

¹⁴ and the four living creatures said, `Amen!' and the twenty-four elders fell down and they bow before Him who is living to the ages of the ages.

¹ And the fifth messenger did sound, and I saw a star out of the heaven having fallen to the earth, and there was given to it the key of the pit of the abyss,

¹ And I saw a messenger coming down out of the heaven, having the key of the abyss, and a great chain over his hand, ² and he laid hold on the dragon, the old serpent, who is Devil and Adversary, and did bind him a thousand years,

¹⁴ and the death and the hades were cast to the lake of the fire—this is the second death;

¹¹ `I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last;' and, `What thou dost see, write in a scroll, and send to the seven assemblies that are in Asia; to Ephesus, and to Smyrna, and to Pergamos, and to Thyatira, and to Sardis, and to Philadelphia, and to Laodicea.'

¹ After these things I saw, and lo, a door opened in the heaven, and the first voice that I heard is as of a trumpet speaking with me, saying, `Come up hither, and I will shew thee what it behoveth to come to pass after these things;' <sup>2</sup> and immediately I was in the Spirit, and lo, a throne was set in the heaven, and upon the throne is one sitting, <sup>3</sup> and He who is sitting was in sight like a stone, jasper and sardine: and a rainbow was round the throne in sight like an emerald. <sup>4</sup> And around the throne are thrones twenty and four, and upon the thrones I saw the twenty and four elders sitting, clothed in white garments, and they had upon their heads crowns of gold; <sup>5</sup> and out of the throne proceed do lightnings, and thunders, and voices; and seven lamps of fire are burning before the throne, which are the Seven Spirits of God, <sup>6</sup> and before the throne is a sea of glass like to crystal, and in the midst of the throne, and round the throne, are four living creatures, full of eyes before and behind; <sup>7</sup> and the first living creature is like a lion, and the second living creature is like a calf, and the third living creature hath the face as a man, and the fourth living creature is like an eagle flying.
<sup>8</sup> And the four living creatures, each by itself severally, had six wings, around and within are full of eyes, and rest they have not day and night, saying, `Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, who was, and who is, and who is coming;' ⁹ and when the living creatures do give glory, and honour, and thanks, to Him who is sitting upon the throne, who is living to the ages of the ages, ¹⁰ fall down do the twenty and four elders before Him who is sitting upon the throne, and bow before Him who is living to the ages of the ages, and they cast their crowns before the throne, saying, ¹¹ `Worthy art Thou, O Lord, to receive the glory, and the honour, and the power, because Thou—Thou didst create the all things, and because of Thy will are they, and they were created.'

⁷ For the lips of a priest preserve knowledge, And law they do seek from his mouth, For a messenger of Jehovah of Hosts he is .

¹⁴ `Ye are the light of the world, a city set upon a mount is not able to be hid; ¹⁵ nor do they light a lamp, and put it under the measure, but on the lamp-stand, and it shineth to all those in the house; ¹⁶ so let your light shine before men, that they may see your good works, and may glorify your Father who is in the heavens.

¹¹ And he answering said to them that—`To you it hath been given to know the secrets of the reign of the heavens, and to these it hath not been given,

¹⁰ And he said, `To you it hath been given to know the secrets of the reign of God, and to the rest in similes; that seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand.

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

¹⁴ These things I write to thee, hoping to come unto thee soon, ¹⁵ and if I delay, that thou mayest know how it behoveth thee to conduct thyself in the house of God, which is an assembly of the living God—a pillar and foundation of the truth, ¹⁶ and, confessedly, great is the secret of piety—God was manifested in flesh, declared righteous in spirit, seen by messengers, preached among nations, believed on in the world, taken up in glory!

¹² And I did turn to see the voice that did speak with me, and having turned, I saw seven golden lamp-stands, ¹³ and in the midst of the seven lamp-stands, one like to a son of man, clothed to the foot, and girt round at the breast with a golden girdle,

¹⁶ and having in his right hand seven stars, and out of his mouth a sharp two-edged sword is proceeding, and his countenance is as the sun shining in its might.

¹ `To the messenger of the Ephesian assembly write: These things saith he who is holding the seven stars in his right hand, who is walking in the midst of the seven lamp-stands—the golden:
