¹ Now the feast of unleavened bread was drawing near, which is called the Passover; ² and the chief priests and the scribes were seeking how they might kill him; for they feared the people. ³ And Satan entered into Judas called Iscariot, being of the number of the twelve. ⁴ And he went away, and consulted with the chief priests and captains, how he might deliver him up to them. ⁵ And they were glad, and covenanted to give him money. ⁶ And he promised, and sought opportunity to deliver him up to them in the absence of the multitude. ⁷ And the day of unleavened bread came, when the passover must be killed. ⁸ And he sent away Peter and John, saying: Go, and prepare us the passover, that we may eat it. ⁹ And they said to him: Where wilt thou that we prepare? ¹⁰ And he said to them: Behold, when ye have entered into the city, there will meet you a man bearing a pitcher of water; follow him into the house where he enters in. ¹¹ And ye shall say to the master of the house: The Teacher says to thee, Where is the guestchamber, where I may eat the passover with my disciples? ¹² And he will show you a large upper room furnished; there make ready. ¹³ And they went away, and found as he had said to them. And they made ready the passover. ¹⁴ And when the hour came, he reclined at table, and the apostles with him. ¹⁵ And he said to them: I earnestly desired to eat this passover with you before I suffer. ¹⁶ For I say to you, I shall eat of it no more, until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God. ¹⁷ And having received a cup, he gave thanks and said: Take this, and divide it among yourselves. ¹⁸ For I say to you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God shall come. ¹⁹ And taking a loaf, he 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. ²⁰ And the cup in like manner after supper, saying: This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is shed for you. ²¹ But, behold, the hand of him that betrays me is with me on the table. ²² For the Son of man indeed goes, as it was determined; but woe to that man by whom he is betrayed! ²³ And they began to inquire among themselves, who then it might be that should do this thing? ²⁴ And there arose also a contention among them, which of them should be accounted the greatest. ²⁵ And he said to them: The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and they who exercise authority over them are called benefactors. ²⁶ But ye are not so; but let the greatest among you become as the younger, and he that is chief as he that serves. ²⁷ For which is greater, he that reclines at table, or he that serves? Is not he that reclines at table? But I am in the midst of you as he that serves. ²⁸ Ye are they who have continued with me in my temptations; ²⁹ and I appoint to you a kingdom, as my Father appointed to me, ³⁰ that ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom; and ye shall sit on thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. ³¹ And the Lord said: Simon, Simon, behold, Satan asked for you, to sift as the wheat. ³² But I prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not; and thou, when thou hast turned, strengthen thy brethren. ³³ And he said to him: Lord, I am ready to go with thee, both to prison and to death. ³⁴ And he said: I say to thee, Peter, a cock will not crow this day, till thou shalt thrice deny that thou knowest me. ³⁵ And he said to them: When I sent you without purse, and bag, and sandals, lacked ye anything? And they said: Nothing. ³⁶ Therefore said he to them: But now, he that has a purse let him take it, and likewise a bag; and he that has not, let him sell his garment and buy a sword. ³⁷ For I say to you, that yet this which is written must be accomplished in me: And he was reckoned among transgressors; for the things concerning me have an end. ³⁸ And they said: Lord, behold, here are two swords. And he said: It is enough! ³⁹ And going out, he went as he was wont to the mount of the Olives; and his disciples also followed him. ⁴⁰ And when he was at the place, he said to them: Pray that ye enter not into temptation. ⁴¹ And he withdrew from them about a stone's throw; and kneeling down, he prayed, ⁴² saying: Father, if thou art willing to remove this cup from me! Yet, not my will but thine be done. ⁴³ And there appeared to him an angel from heaven, strengthening him. ⁴⁴ And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly; and his sweat became as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground. ⁴⁵ And rising up from prayer, and coming to the disciples, he found them sleeping, from sorrow. ⁴⁶ And he said to them: Why sleep ye? Arise and pray, that ye enter not into temptation. ⁴⁷ 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. ⁴⁸ But Jesus said to him: Judas, betrayest thou the Son of man with a kiss? ⁴⁹ And they who were about him, seeing what would follow, said to him: Lord, shall we smite with the sword? ⁵⁰ And a certain one of them smote the servant of the high priest, and took off his right ear. ⁵¹ And Jesus answering said: Suffer thus far. And he touched his ear, and healed him. ⁵² And Jesus said to the chief priests and captains of the temple and elders, who were come to him: Have ye come out as against a robber, with swords and staves? ⁵³ When I was daily with you in the temple, ye stretched not forth your hands against me.

And Peter said: Man, I am not. ⁵⁹ And about the space of one hour after, another confidently affirmed, saying: Of a truth this one also was with him; for he is a Galilaean. ⁶⁰ And Peter said: Man, I know not what thou sayest. And immediately, while he was yet speaking, a cock crowed. ⁶¹ And the Lord turning looked upon Peter.

And he said to them: If I tell you, ye will not believe. ⁶⁸ And if I ask, ye will not answer. ⁶⁹ But henceforth shall the Son of man sit on the right hand of the power of God. ⁷⁰ And they all said: Art thou then the Son of God? And he said to them: Ye say it; for I am. ⁷¹ And they said: Why need we any further witness? For we ourselves heard it from his own mouth.

¹ FOR the law having a shadow of the good things to come, not the very image of the things, can never, with the same sacrifices which they offer year by year continually, make those who come to them perfect. ² For then would they not have ceased to be offered, because the worshipers would have had no more consciousness of sins, having once been cleansed? ³ But in them there is a remembrance of sins year by year. ⁴ For it is impossible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins. ⁵ Wherefore, when he comes into the world, he says: Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, But a body didst thou prepare for me; ⁶ In whole burnt-offerings, and sacrifices for sin, thou hadst no pleasure. ⁷ Then said I: Lo, I come, In the volume of the book it is written of me, To do thy will, O God. ⁸ Saying above, Sacrifices and offerings and whole burnt-offerings and sacrifices for sin thou wouldest not, nor hadst pleasure therein, which are offered by the law, ⁹ then has he said: Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He takes away the first, that he may establish the second. ¹⁰ In which will we have been sanctified, through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

⁴ For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving; ⁵ for it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.

¹⁸ And I also say to thee, that thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of the underworld shall not prevail against it.

²⁹ And I say to you, that I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you, in the kingdom of my Father.

²³ And taking the cup, he gave thanks, and gave it to them; and they all drank of it.

²⁵ Verily I say to you, I will drink no more of the fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new in the kingdom of God.

²³ And they gave him wine mingled with myrrh; but he took it not.

²⁷ And I say to you of a truth, there are some of those standing here, who shall not taste of death, till they see the kingdom of God.

³¹ So also ye, when ye see these things coming to pass, know that the kingdom of God is near.

¹⁶ For I say to you, I shall eat of it no more, until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God.

³⁰ Being a prophet, therefore, and knowing that God swore to him, with an oath, that of the fruit of his loins one should sit on his throne, ³¹ he, foreseeing, spoke of the resurrection of the Christ, that neither was his soul abandoned to the underworld, nor did his flesh see corruption. ³² This Jesus God raised up, whereof we all are witnesses. ³³ Being therefore exalted to the right hand of God, and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, he poured forth this, which ye now see and hear. ³⁴ For David did not ascend into heaven; but he says himself: The Lord said to my Lord, Sit on my right hand, ³⁵ Until I make thy foes thy footstool. ³⁶ Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God made him, this Jesus whom ye crucified, both Lord and Christ.

¹⁸ And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess, but be filled with the Spirit; ¹⁹ speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord;

⁴ and all drank the same spiritual drink; for they drank of the spiritual rock that followed them, and the rock was Christ.

¹⁶ The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not a partaking of the blood of Christ? The loaf which we break, is it not a partaking of the body of Christ?

²³ For I received from the Lord, what I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus, in the night in which he was betrayed, took a loaf; ²⁴ and having given thanks, he broke it, and said: This is my body, which is for you; this do in remembrance of me. ²⁵ In like manner also the cup, after they had supped, saying: This cup is the new covenant in my blood; this do, as often as ye drink it, in remembrance of me. ²⁶ For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye show the Lord's death till he come. ²⁷ So that whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and the blood of the Lord. ²⁸ But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of the bread, and drink of the cup. ²⁹ For he that eats and drinks, eats and drinks condemnation to himself, if he discern not the body.

²⁴ who himself bore our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, having died to our sins, should live to righteousness; by whose stripes ye were healed.

²⁸ For this is my blood of the new covenant, which is shed for many, for remission of sins.

¹⁶ The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not a partaking of the blood of Christ? The loaf which we break, is it not a partaking of the body of Christ? ¹⁷ Because we, the many, are one loaf, one body; for we all share in that one loaf. ¹⁸ Behold Israel according to the flesh. Are not they who eat of the sacrifices partakers of the altar? ¹⁹ What then do I say? That an idol is anything, or that what is offered to idols is anything? ²⁰ Nay; but that what they sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons, and not to God; and I would not that ye should be partakers of the demons. ²¹ Ye can not drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of demons; ye can not share in the table of the Lord, and the table of demons.

²⁵ In like manner also the cup, after they had supped, saying: This cup is the new covenant in my blood; this do, as often as ye drink it, in remembrance of me.

⁶ who also made us sufficient as ministers of a new covenant; not of the letter, but of the spirit; for the letter kills, but the spirit makes alive.

⁶ But now he has obtained a more excellent ministry, by so much as he is also mediator of a better covenant, which has been established upon better promises. ⁷ For if that first had been faultless, a place would not have been sought for the second. ⁸ For finding fault with them, he says: Behold the days are coming, saith the Lord, When I will make with the house of Israel, And with the house of Judah, a new covenant; ⁹ Not according to the covenant that I made for their fathers, In the day when I took hold of their hand, To bring them out of the land of Egypt; Because they continued not in my covenant, And I regarded them not, saith the Lord. ¹⁰ For this is the covenant that I will establish for the house of Israel, After those days, saith the Lord, Putting my laws into their mind, And on their hearts I will write them; And I will be to them a God, And they shall be to me a people; ¹¹ And they shall not teach, Each one his neighbor, and each one his brother, Saying: Know the Lord; Because all shall know me, from the least to the greatest; ¹² Because I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, And their sins and their iniquities I will remember no more. ¹³ In that he says, A new, he has made the first old. Now that which is grown old, and worn out with age, is ready to vanish away.

¹⁵ And for this cause he is mediator of a new covenant, in order that, death having taken place, for the redemption of the transgressions under the first covenant, they who have been called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance.

¹⁷ For a testament is of force after men are dead; since it is of no strength at all while the testator lives.

²⁴ and to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaks better than Abel.

²⁰ Now the God of peace, who brought up from the dead our Lord Jesus, the great Shepherd of the sheep in virtue of the blood of an eternal covenant,

²¹ And as they were eating, he said: Verily I say to you, that one of you will betray me. ²² And they were exceedingly sorrowful, and began to say to him, each one: Lord, is it I? ²³ And he answering said: He that dipped his hand with me in the dish, the same will betray me. ²⁴ The Son of man goes indeed, as it is written of him; but woe to that man through whom the Son of man is betrayed! It were good for him, if that man had not been born.

¹⁸ And as they were reclining at table, and eating, Jesus said: Verily I say to you, that one of you will betray me, one that eats with me! ¹⁹ And they began to be sorrowful, and to say to him one by one: Is it I? And another said: Is it I? ²⁰ And he answering said to them: It is one of the twelve, one that dips with me into the dish. ²¹ The Son of man indeed goes, as it is written of him; but woe to that man through whom the Son of man is betrayed! It were good for him if that man had not been born.

¹⁸ I speak not of you all; I know whom I chose; but that the scripture might be fulfilled, He that eats the loaf with me lifted up his heel against me. ¹⁹ Even now I tell you, before it comes to pass, that when it comes to pass, ye may believe that I am he.

²¹ Having said this, Jesus was troubled in spirit, and testified and said: Verily, verily, I say to you, that one of you will betray me. ²² The disciples therefore looked one on another, doubting of whom he spoke.

²⁶ Jesus answers: He it is, to whom I shall give the morsel, when I have dipped it. And having dipped the morsel, he gives it to Judas Iscariot, son of Simon.

²⁴ The Son of man goes indeed, as it is written of him; but woe to that man through whom the Son of man is betrayed! It were good for him, if that man had not been born.

⁵³ Thinkest thou that I can not now pray to my Father, and he will send me more than twelve legions of angels? ⁵⁴ How then shall the Scriptures be fulfilled, that thus it must be?

⁵ And casting down the pieces of silver in the temple, he departed; and he went away and hanged himself.

²¹ The Son of man indeed goes, as it is written of him; but woe to that man through whom the Son of man is betrayed! It were good for him if that man had not been born.

²⁵ Then he said to them: O foolish, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken! ²⁶ Was it not necessary, that the Christ should suffer these things, and enter into his glory? ²⁷ And beginning from Moses, and all the prophets, he explained to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning himself.

⁴⁶ And he said to them: Thus it is written, that the Christ should suffer, and should rise from the dead on the third day;

¹² While I was with them, I kept them in thy name. Those whom thou hast given me I watched over and none of them perished, except the son of perdition, that the scripture might be fulfilled.

¹⁶ Men, brethren, it was necessary that the scripture should be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit by the mouth of David spoke before concerning Judas, who became guide to those who took Jesus. ¹⁷ Because he was numbered with us, and obtained the office of this ministry.— ¹⁸ Now this man purchased a field with the wages of iniquity; and falling headlong, he burst asunder in the midst, and all his bowels gushed out. ¹⁹ And it became known to all who dwell at Jerusalem; so that that field was called, in their own tongue, Aceldama, that is, Field of blood.— ²⁰ For it is written in the book of Psalms: Let his habitation be made desolate, And let no one dwell therein. And: Let another take his office. ²¹ Therefore, of these men, who accompanied us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us, ²² beginning from John's immersion, unto the day when he was taken up from us, must one be made a witness with us of his resurrection. ²³ And they appointed two, Joseph called Barsabas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias. ²⁴ And they prayed, saying: Thou, Lord, who knowest the hearts of all, show which of these two thou didst choose, ²⁵ that he may take part in this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas by transgression fell away, that he might go to his own place.

²³ this man, delivered up according to the established counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye slew, crucifying him by the hand of lawless ones;

²⁵ who by the mouth of thy servant David said: Why did the heathen rage, And the peoples imagine vain things? ²⁶ The kings of the earth stood near, And the rulers assembled together, Against the Lord, and against his Christ. ²⁷ For in truth there assembled in this city, against thy holy servant Jesus, whom thou didst anoint, both Herod, and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles, and the peoples of Israel, ²⁸ to do whatever thy hand and thy counsel before determined to be done.

²⁷ For they who dwell at Jerusalem, and their rulers, not knowing him, nor the voices of the prophets which are read every sabbath day, fulfilled them in condemning him. ²⁸ And though they found no cause of death, they demanded of Pilate that he should be slain.

²² Having therefore obtained help from God, I continue unto this day, witnessing both to small and great, saying nothing except those things which the prophets and Moses said should come; ²³ whether the Christ should suffer, whether he, the first of the resurrection from the dead, shall show light to the people and to the Gentiles.

³ For I delivered to you first of all what I also received, that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures; ⁴ and that he was buried, and that he has risen on the third day according to the Scriptures;

¹¹ searching as to what or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them signified, when it testified beforehand the sufferings destined for Christ, and the glories that should follow;

²² And they were exceedingly sorrowful, and began to say to him, each one: Lord, is it I?

¹⁹ And they began to be sorrowful, and to say to him one by one: Is it I? And another said: Is it I?

²² The disciples therefore looked one on another, doubting of whom he spoke. ²³ And there was reclining in Jesus' bosom one of his disciples, whom Jesus loved. ²⁴ To him therefore Simon Peter beckons, and says to him: Say who it is of whom he speaks. ²⁵ And he, leaning back on Jesus' breast, says to him: Lord, who is it?

²⁰ Then came to him the mother of the sons of Zebedee, with her sons, bowing down and asking a certain thing of him. ²¹ And he said to her: What wilt thou? She says to him: Command that these my two sons shall sit, one on thy right hand, and one on thy left, in thy kingdom. ²² But Jesus answering said: Ye know not what ye ask. Are ye able to drink of the cup that I shall drink of? They say to him: We are able. ²³ And he says to them: Ye shall drink indeed of my cup; but to sit on my right hand, and on my left, is not mine to give, but is for them for whom it has been prepared by my Father. ²⁴ And the ten, hearing it, were much displeased with the two brothers.

³⁴ But they were silent; for by the way they had disputed with one another, who was greatest.

³⁷ They said to him: Grant to us that we may sit, one on thy right hand, and the other on the left, in thy glory. ³⁸ And Jesus said to them: Ye know not what ye ask. Are ye able to drink the cup that I drink, or to endure the immersion which I endure? ³⁹ And they said to him: We are able. And Jesus said to them: Ye shall indeed drink the cup that I drink, and endure the immersion which I endure. ⁴⁰ But to sit on my right hand, or on the left, is not mine to give, but is for them for whom it has been prepared. ⁴¹ And the ten, hearing it, began to be much displeased with James and John.

⁴⁶ And there arose in them the thought, which of them was greatest.

¹⁰ be kindly affectioned one to another; in honor, preferring one another;

⁴ Love suffers long, is kind; love envies not; love vaunts not itself, is not puffed up,

³ doing nothing through contentiousness or vainglory, but in lowliness of mind each esteeming others better than himself; ⁴ regarding not each one his own, but each one also the things of others. ⁵ Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus;

⁵ Do ye think that the Scripture says in vain, the spirit he made to dwell in us has jealous longings? ⁶ But he gives the more grace. Wherefore he says: God resists the proud, But gives grace to the humble.

⁵ In like manner, ye younger, submit yourselves to the elder. Yea, all of you submitting to one another, gird yourselves with humility; because, God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble. ⁶ Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time;

²⁵ But Jesus, having called them to him, said: Ye know that the rulers of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them, and they that are great exercise authority over them. ²⁶ Not so shall it be among you; ²⁷ but whoever would become great among you, let him be your minister; and whoever would be first among you, let him be your servant; ²⁸ even as the Son of man came not to be ministered to, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.

⁴¹ And the ten, hearing it, began to be much displeased with James and John. ⁴² And Jesus, calling them to him, says to them: Ye know that they who are accounted to rule over the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and their great ones exercise authority over them. ⁴³ But it is not so among you. But whoever would become great among you, shall be your minister; ⁴⁴ and whoever would become chiefest of you, shall be servant of all. ⁴⁵ For even the Son of man came not to be ministered to, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.

³ and said: Verily I say to you, if ye do not turn and become as the little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. ⁴ Whoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, he is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. ⁵ And whoever shall receive one such little child, in my name, receives me.

⁸ But be not ye called Rabbi; for one is your Teacher, and all ye are brethren. ⁹ And call not any your father on the earth; for one is your Father, he who is in heaven. ¹⁰ Neither be called leaders; for one is your leader, the Christ. ¹¹ But the greatest of you shall be your servant. ¹² And whoever shall exalt himself shall be humbled; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted.

³⁵ And sitting down, he called the twelve, and says to them: If any one desires to be first, he shall be last of all, and servant of all.

⁴⁸ and said to them: Whoever shall receive this child in my name, receives me; and whoever shall receive me, receives him who sent me; for he that is least among you all, the same is great.

² And be not conformed to this world; but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may discern what is the will of God, the good, and well pleasing, and perfect.

³ neither as being lords over the heritage, but being examples to the flock.

⁵ In like manner, ye younger, submit yourselves to the elder. Yea, all of you submitting to one another, gird yourselves with humility; because, God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble.

⁹ I wrote somewhat to the church; but Diotrephes, who loves to have the pre-eminence among them, receives us not. ¹⁰ Therefore, if I come, I will bring to remembrance his deeds which he does, prating against us with evil words. And not content therewith, neither does he himself receive the brethren, and those who are willing he forbids, and casts them out of the church.

²⁸ even as the Son of man came not to be ministered to, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.

⁷ And who of you, having a servant plowing, or feeding cattle, will say to him immediately, when he has come in from the field, Come and recline at table; ⁸ and will not rather say to him, Make ready wherewith I may sup, and gird thyself and serve me, till I have eaten and drunken, and afterward thou shalt eat and drink? ⁹ Does he thank that servant, because he did the things that were commanded? I think not.

⁵ After that he pours water into the basin, and began to wash the feet of his disciples, and to wipe them with the towel with which he was girded. ⁶ He comes therefore to Simon Peter; and Peter says to him: Lord, dost thou wash my feet? ⁷ Jesus answered and said to him: What I do thou knowest not now; but thou shalt know hereafter. ⁸ Peter says to him: Never shalt thou wash my feet. Jesus answered him: If I wash thee not, thou hast no part with me. ⁹ Simon Peter says to him: Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head. ¹⁰ Jesus says to him: He that has bathed has no need save to wash the feet, but is wholly clean. And ye are clean; but not all. ¹¹ For he knew his betrayer; therefore he said: Ye are not all clean. ¹² When therefore he had washed their feet, he took his garments, and reclining again at table, said to them: Know ye what I have done to you? ¹³ Ye call me the Teacher, and the Master; and ye say well, for so I am. ¹⁴ If I then, the Master and the Teacher, washed your feet, ye also ought to wash one another's feet. ¹⁵ For I gave you an example, that as I did to you, ye also should do. ¹⁶ Verily, verily, I say to you, a servant is not greater than his lord, nor one that is sent greater than he who sent him.

⁹ For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich.

⁷ but emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men. ⁸ And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, becoming obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.

²⁸ And Jesus said to them: Verily I say to you, that ye who followed me, in the renovation, when the Son of man shall sit on his throne of glory, shall also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. ²⁹ And every one who forsook houses, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name's sake, shall receive manifold more, and shall inherit everlasting life.

¹³ But he that has endured to the end, the same shall be saved.

⁶⁷ Jesus said therefore to the twelve: Will ye also go away? ⁶⁸ Simon Peter answered him: Lord, to whom shall we go? Thou hast words of eternal life.

³¹ Jesus therefore said to those Jews who have believed him: If ye continue in my word, ye are truly my disciples;

²⁵ that he may take part in this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas by transgression fell away, that he might go to his own place.

¹⁸ For in that he himself has suffered being tempted, he is able to help those who are tempted.

¹⁵ For we have not a high priest who can not be touched with the feeling of our infirmities, but who has in all points been tempted in like manner, without sin.

⁴⁷ Verily I say to you, that he will set him over all his goods.

³⁴ Then will the King say to those on his right hand: Come, blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.

¹⁸ And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying: All power was given to me in heaven and on earth.

³² Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.

¹⁷ And he said to him: Well done, good servant; because thou wast faithful in a very little, have thou authority over ten cities.

²⁵ And every one who contends for the prize is temperate in all things; they indeed to obtain a corruptible crown, but we an incorruptible.

⁷ And our hope of you is steadfast, knowing, that as ye are partakers of the sufferings, so are ye also of the consolation.

¹² if we endure, we shall also reign with him; if we shall deny him, he also will deny us;

⁵ Hearken, my beloved brethren. Did not God choose the poor as to this world to be rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he promised to those who love him?

⁴ And when the chief Shepherd is manifested, ye shall receive the unfading crown of glory.

¹⁴ And the wall of the city had twelve foundation-stones, and on them twelve names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.

¹¹ And I say to you, that many will come from the east and west, and will recline at table, with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven;

²⁸ And Jesus said to them: Verily I say to you, that ye who followed me, in the renovation, when the Son of man shall sit on his throne of glory, shall also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

¹⁶ For I say to you, I shall eat of it no more, until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God. ¹⁷ And having received a cup, he gave thanks and said: Take this, and divide it among yourselves. ¹⁸ For I say to you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God shall come.

² Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? And if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters? ³ Know ye not that we shall judge angels? How much more the things of this life?

²⁶ And he that overcomes, and he that keeps my works until the end, to him I will give authority over the nations; ²⁷ and he shall rule them with a rod of iron, as the vessels of a potter are they dashed in pieces, as I also have received from my Father;

²¹ He that overcomes, I will give to him to sit with me in my throne, as I also overcame, and sat down with my Father in his throne.

⁴ and around the throne were twenty-four thrones; and upon the thrones twenty-four elders sitting, clothed in white garments, and on their heads crowns of gold.

⁴¹ And Jesus answering said to her: Martha, Martha, thou art anxious and troubled about many things.

⁴ and he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying to him: Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?

⁸ Be sober, be watchful. Your adversary the Devil, as a roaring lion, walks about, seeking whom he may devour;

¹⁰ And I heard a loud voice in heaven, saying: Now is come the salvation, and the strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Christ; because the accuser of our brethren is cast down, who accused them before our God day and night.

³ and said: Verily I say to you, if ye do not turn and become as the little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.

⁷⁵ And Peter remembered the word of Jesus when he said: Before a cock crows, thou wilt thrice deny me. And he went out, and wept bitterly.

⁷² And a cock crowed a second time. And Peter remembered the word, how Jesus said to him: Before a cock crows twice, thou wilt thrice deny me. And as he thought thereon, he wept.

⁷ But go, say to his disciples, and to Peter, that he goes before you into Galilee. There shall ye see him, as he said to you.

¹³ Those on the rock are they who, when they hear, with joy receive the word; and these have no root, who for a while believe, and in time of temptation fall away.

⁶¹ And the Lord turning looked upon Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how he said to him: Before a cock crows this day, thou wilt deny me thrice. ⁶² And Peter went out, and wept bitterly.

¹⁹ Yet a little while, and the world sees me no more; but ye see me; because I live, ye shall live also.

⁹ I pray for them; I pray not for the world, but for those whom thou hast given me; because they are thine. ¹⁰ And all things that are mine are thine, and thine are mine; and I am glorified in them. ¹¹ And I am no longer in the world; and these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep those in thy name whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are,

¹⁵ I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil. ¹⁶ They are not of the world, as I am not of the world. ¹⁷ Sanctify them in the truth; thy word is truth. ¹⁸ As thou didst send me into the world, I also sent them into the world. ¹⁹ And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also may be sanctified in the truth. ²⁰ And I pray not for these only, but also for those who believe on me through their word; ²¹ that all may be one; as thou, Father, in me and I in thee, that they also may be in us; that the world may believe that thou didst send me.

¹⁵ When therefore they had broken their fast, Jesus says to Simon Peter: Simon, son of Jonah, lovest thou me more than these? He says to him: Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He says to him: Feed my lambs. ¹⁶ He says to him again a second time: Simon, son of Jonah, lovest thou me? He says to him: Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He says to him: Tend my sheep. ¹⁷ He says to him the third time: Simon, son of Jonah, 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 says to him: Feed my sheep.

¹⁹ Repent therefore, and turn, that your sins may be blotted out, in order that the times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord;

⁹ Much more therefore, being now justified by his blood, shall we be saved from the wrath through him. ¹⁰ For if, being enemies, we were reconciled to God through the death of his son; much more, being reconciled, shall we be saved by his life;

³² He who spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not also with him freely give us all things?

³⁴ who is he that condemns? Christ is he that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is also at the right hand of God, who also intercedes for us.

⁴ who consoles us in all our affliction, that we may be able to console those who are in any affliction, by the consolation wherewith we ourselves are consoled by God. ⁵ Because, as the sufferings of Christ abound toward us, so through Christ abounds also our consolation. ⁶ But whether we are afflicted, it is for your consolation and salvation, which is effective in the endurance of the same sufferings which we also suffer; or whether we are consoled, it is for your consolation and salvation.

¹³ who was formerly a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and overbearing. But I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly, in unbelief; ¹⁴ and the grace of our Lord abounded exceedingly, with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus. ¹⁵ Faithful is the saying, and worthy of all acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief. ¹⁶ But for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first Christ Jesus might show forth all his long-suffering, for a pattern to those who should hereafter believe on him to life everlasting.

¹⁸ who erred concerning the truth, saying that the resurrection has already taken place, and overturn the faith of some.

¹ PAUL, a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, for the faith of God's chosen, and the knowledge of the truth which is according to godliness;

²⁵ Whence also he is able to save to the utmost those who come to God through him, since he ever lives to intercede for them.

¹² Wherefore lift up the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees; ¹³ and make straight paths for your feet, that the lame be not turned out of the way, but rather be healed.

¹⁵ looking diligently, lest any one come short of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and the many be thereby defiled;

¹ PETER, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the strangers scattered through Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia;

⁵ who by the power of God are kept through faith, unto a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.

¹³ Wherefore, girding up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope perfectly for the grace that is to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;

⁸ Be sober, be watchful. Your adversary the Devil, as a roaring lion, walks about, seeking whom he may devour; ⁹ whom resist, steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are being accomplished in your brethren that are in the world. ¹⁰ But the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ Jesus, after ye have suffered a little while, make you perfect, establish, strengthen, settle you.

¹⁰ Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure; for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall. ¹¹ For so shall be richly ministered to you the entrance into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. ¹² Wherefore, I will not neglect to put you always in remembrance of these things, though ye know them, and are established in the truth that is with you.

¹⁴ Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for these things, be diligent that ye may be found without spot and blameless in his sight, in peace.

¹⁷ Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know beforehand, beware lest, being carried away with the error of the lawless, ye fall from your own steadfastness. ¹⁸ But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be the glory, both now and forever. Amen.

¹ MY little children, these things I write to you, that ye may not sin. And if any one have sinned, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous. ² And he is a propitiation for our sins; and not for ours only, but also for the whole world.

¹⁹ They went out from among us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have remained with us; but it was in order that they might be made manifest, that all are not of us.

²² But Jesus answering said: Ye know not what ye ask. Are ye able to drink of the cup that I shall drink of? They say to him: We are able.

³³ Peter answering said to him: Though all shall be offended because of thee, I will never be offended. ³⁴ Jesus said to him: Verily I say to thee, that this night, before a cock crows, thou wilt thrice deny me. ³⁵ Peter says to him: Even though I should die with thee, I will not deny thee. Likewise also said all the disciples.

⁴⁰ And he comes to the disciples, and finds them sleeping; and he says to Peter: Were ye so unable to watch with me one hour? ⁴¹ Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.

²⁹ And Peter said to him: Though all shall be offended, yet will not I.

³¹ But he said the more vehemently: If I should die with thee, I will not deny thee. Likewise also said they all.

³⁷ And he comes, and finds them sleeping. And he says to Peter: Simon, sleepest thou? Couldest thou not watch one hour? ³⁸ Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.

³⁶ Simon Peter says to him: Lord, whither goest thou? Jesus answered him: Whither I go, thou canst not follow me now; but thou shalt follow me afterward. ³⁷ Peter says to him: Lord, why can not I follow thee now? I will lay down my life for thee.

²³ save that the Holy Spirit witnesses to me in every city, saying that bonds and afflictions await me. ²⁴ But none of these things move me, neither do I count my life dear to myself, so that I may finish my course with joy, and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify the good news of the grace of God.

¹³ Then answered Paul: What mean ye, to weep and to break my heart? For I am ready not only to be bound, but also to die at Jerusalem, for the name of the Lord Jesus.

³⁴ Jesus said to him: Verily I say to thee, that this night, before a cock crows, thou wilt thrice deny me.

⁷⁴ Then he began to invoke curses, and to swear: I do not know the man. And immediately a cock crowed.

³⁰ And Jesus says to him: Verily I say to thee, that thou this day, in this night, before a cock crows twice, wilt thrice deny me.

⁷¹ But he began to invoke curses, and to swear: I do not know this man of whom ye speak. ⁷² And a cock crowed a second time. And Peter remembered the word, how Jesus said to him: Before a cock crows twice, thou wilt thrice deny me. And as he thought thereon, he wept.

³⁸ Jesus answers: Wilt thou lay down thy life for me? Verily, verily, I say to thee, a cock will not crow, till thou hast denied me thrice.

²⁷ Again therefore Peter denied; and immediately a cock crowed.

³¹ Take not thought therefore, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewith shall we be clothed? ³² For after all these do the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that ye have need of all these. ³³ But seek first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these shall be added to you.

⁹ Provide not gold, nor silver, nor brass in your girdles; ¹⁰ nor bag for the journey, nor two coats, nor sandals, nor staff; for the laborer is worthy of his living.

⁸ and commanded them that they should take nothing for the way, save a staff only; no bread, no bag, no money, in their girdle; ⁹ but that they be shod with sandals and, Put not on two coats.

³ And he said to them: Take nothing for the journey, neither staff, nor bag, nor bread, nor money, nor have two coats apiece.

⁴ Carry neither purse, nor bag, nor sandals; and salute no one by the way.

²⁹ And ye, seek not what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, and be not of a doubtful mind. ³⁰ For all these things do the nations of the world seek after; and your Father knows that ye have need of these. ³¹ But seek his kingdom, and these things shall be added to you.

²² And ye will be hated by all, for my name's sake; but he that has endured to the end, the same shall be saved. ²³ But when they persecute you in this city, flee into the other; for verily I say to you, ye shall not have gone over the cities of Israel, till the Son of man come. ²⁴ A disciple is not above the teacher, nor a servant above his lord. ²⁵ It is enough for the disciple that he be as his teacher, and the servant as his lord: If they called the master of the house Beelzebul, how much more those of his household!

²⁰ Remember the word that I said to you: A servant is not greater than his lord. If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they kept my saying, they will keep yours also.

³³ These things I have spoken to you, that in me ye may have peace. In the world ye have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.

¹⁴ For ye, brethren, became followers of the churches of God which are in Judaea in Christ Jesus; for ye also suffered the same things of your own countrymen, as they have of the Jews; ¹⁵ who both killed the Lord Jesus and the prophets, and drove us forth, and please not God, and are contrary to all men;

⁴ For even when we were with you, we told you before that we are to suffer affliction; as also it came to pass, and ye know.

¹ CHRIST then having suffered for us in the flesh, do ye also arm yourselves with the same mind; because he who suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin;

⁵⁴ How then shall the Scriptures be fulfilled, that thus it must be? ⁵⁵ In that hour Jesus said to the multitudes: Are ye come out as against a robber, with swords and staves, to take me? I sat daily with you teaching in the temple, and ye did not lay hold of me. ⁵⁶ But all this has been done, that the scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled. Then the disciples all forsook him, and fled.

²⁷ And with him they crucify two robbers; one on his right hand, and one on his left.

³¹ And taking with him the twelve, he said to them: Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and all the things written by the prophets for the Son of man shall be accomplished.

²² For the Son of man indeed goes, as it was determined; but woe to that man by whom he is betrayed!

³² And there were also two others, malefactors, led with him to be put to death.

⁴⁴ And he said to them: These are my words which I spoke to you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which are written in the law of Moses, and the prophets, and psalms, concerning me. ⁴⁵ Then he opened their understanding, that they might understand the Scriptures. ⁴⁶ And he said to them: Thus it is written, that the Christ should suffer, and should rise from the dead on the third day;

³⁵ If he called them gods to whom the word of God came, and the Scripture can not be broken,

⁴ I glorified thee on the earth; I finished the work which thou hast given me to do.

²⁸ After this, Jesus knowing that all things were now finished, that the scripture might be accomplished, says: I thirst. ²⁹ Now there was set a vessel full of vinegar; and they, having filled a sponge with vinegar, and put it on a hyssop-stalk, bore it to his mouth. ³⁰ When Jesus therefore received the vinegar, he said: It is finished; and he bowed his head, and gave up his spirit.

²⁷ For they who dwell at Jerusalem, and their rulers, not knowing him, nor the voices of the prophets which are read every sabbath day, fulfilled them in condemning him. ²⁸ And though they found no cause of death, they demanded of Pilate that he should be slain. ²⁹ And when they had fulfilled all the things written of him, they took him down from the tree, and laid him in a tomb.

²¹ Him who knew not sin he made to be sin for us, that we might become God's righteousness in him.

¹³ Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us; because it is written: Cursed is every one that is hanged on a tree;

⁵² Then says Jesus to him: Put back thy sword into its place; for all they who take the sword shall perish with the sword.

⁴⁹ And they who were about him, seeing what would follow, said to him: Lord, shall we smite with the sword?

³⁶ Jesus answered: My kingdom is not of this world. If my kingdom were of this world, my servants would fight, that I might not be delivered up to the Jews; but now is my kingdom not from hence.

³ For though walking in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh; ⁴ (for the weapons of our warfare are not fleshly, but mighty before God to the pulling down of strongholds)

¹⁰ Finally, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. ¹¹ Put on the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the Devil. ¹² For to us, the contest is not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against the spiritual powers of evil in the heavenly places. ¹³ Therefore take on the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having fully done all, to stand. ¹⁴ Stand therefore, having girded your loins about with truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness; ¹⁵ and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; ¹⁶ in addition to all, having taken on the shield of faith, in which ye will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. ¹⁷ And receive the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God; ¹⁸ praying at every fitting season in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints;

⁸ But let us, being of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and for a helmet, the hope of salvation; ⁹ whom resist, steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are being accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.

¹ AND when they drew near to Jerusalem, and came to Bethphage, at the mount of the Olives, Jesus sent forth two disciples,

³⁰ And having sung, they went out into the mount of the Olives.

³⁶ Then Jesus comes with them to a place called Gethsemane, and says to the disciples: Sit ye here, while I go yonder and pray. ³⁷ And taking with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, he began to be sorrowful, and to be troubled. ³⁸ Then says he to them: My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, unto death. Tarry ye here, and watch with me.

¹¹ And he entered into Jerusalem, and into the temple; and having looked around on all things, the evening being now come, he went out to Bethany with the twelve.

¹⁹ And when it became late, he went forth out of the city.

³ And as he was sitting on the mount of the Olives, over against the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him privately:

²⁶ And having sung, they went out into the mount of the Olives.

³² And they come to a place which was named Gethsemane. And he says to his disciples: Sit ye here, while I shall pray. ³³ And he takes with him Peter and James and John, and began to be sore amazed, and to be troubled. ³⁴ And he says to them: My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, unto death; tarry here, and watch.

³⁷ And in the daytime he was teaching in the temple; and at night he went out, and abode in the mount that is called Olivet.

¹ HAVING spoken these words, Jesus went out with his disciples beyond the brook Kedron, where was a garden, into which he entered and his disciples. ² And Judas also, his betrayer knew the place; because Jesus ofttimes resorted thither with his disciples.

¹³ And bring us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

³⁶ Then Jesus comes with them to a place called Gethsemane, and says to the disciples: Sit ye here, while I go yonder and pray. ³⁷ And taking with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, he began to be sorrowful, and to be troubled. ³⁸ Then says he to them: My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, unto death. Tarry ye here, and watch with me. ³⁹ And going forward a little, he fell on his face, praying, and saying: My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass away from me. But yet, not as I will, but as thou wilt. ⁴⁰ And he comes to the disciples, and finds them sleeping; and he says to Peter: Were ye so unable to watch with me one hour? ⁴¹ Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak. ⁴² Again, a second time, he went away and prayed, saying: My Father, if this can not pass away from me, except I drink it, thy will be done. ⁴³ And coming he again found them sleeping; for their eyes were heavy. ⁴⁴ And leaving them, he went away again, and prayed the third time, saying the same words. ⁴⁵ Then he comes to his disciples, and says to them: Do ye sleep the remaining time, and take your rest! Behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners. ⁴⁶ Rise, let us be going. Behold, he is at hand that betrays me.

³² And they come to a place which was named Gethsemane. And he says to his disciples: Sit ye here, while I shall pray. ³³ And he takes with him Peter and James and John, and began to be sore amazed, and to be troubled. ³⁴ And he says to them: My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, unto death; tarry here, and watch. ³⁵ And going forward a little, he fell on the ground, and prayed that, if it were possible, the hour might pass from him. ³⁶ And he said: Abba, Father, all things are possible to thee; take away this cup from me; but not what I will, but what thou wilt. ³⁷ And he comes, and finds them sleeping. And he says to Peter: Simon, sleepest thou? Couldest thou not watch one hour? ³⁸ Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak. ³⁹ And again he went away and prayed, saying the same words. ⁴⁰ And returning, he found them again sleeping, for their eyes were heavy; and they knew not what to answer him. ⁴¹ And he comes the third time, and says to them: Do ye sleep the remaining time, and take your rest? It is enough, the hour is come; behold, the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners. ⁴² Rise, let us go; behold, he that betrays me is at hand.

⁴ And forgive us our sins; for we ourselves forgive every one indebted to us. And bring us not into temptation.

⁴⁶ And he said to them: Why sleep ye? Arise and pray, that ye enter not into temptation.

⁷ And that I might not be exalted overmuch through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, a messenger of Satan to buffet me, that I might not be exalted overmuch. ⁸ Concerning this I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me. ⁹ And he said to me: My grace is sufficient for thee; for my power is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may abide upon me. ¹⁰ Wherefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then I am powerful.

¹⁸ praying at every fitting season in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints; ¹⁹ and for me, that utterance may be given to me, in the opening of my mouth with boldness, to make known the mystery of the gospel,

⁷ But the end of all things is at hand. Be therefore sober, and watch unto prayer;

⁸ Be sober, be watchful. Your adversary the Devil, as a roaring lion, walks about, seeking whom he may devour; ⁹ whom resist, steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are being accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.

¹⁰ Because thou didst keep my word of patient endurance, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which is about to come upon the whole world, to try those who dwell upon the earth.

³⁹ And going forward a little, he fell on his face, praying, and saying: My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass away from me. But yet, not as I will, but as thou wilt.

³⁵ And going forward a little, he fell on the ground, and prayed that, if it were possible, the hour might pass from him.

¹¹ The Pharisee stood, and prayed thus with himself: God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican.

⁴² Again, a second time, he went away and prayed, saying: My Father, if this can not pass away from me, except I drink it, thy will be done.

⁴⁴ And leaving them, he went away again, and prayed the third time, saying the same words.

³⁶ And he said: Abba, Father, all things are possible to thee; take away this cup from me; but not what I will, but what thou wilt.

¹⁷ And having received a cup, he gave thanks and said: Take this, and divide it among yourselves. ¹⁸ For I say to you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God shall come. ¹⁹ And taking a loaf, he 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. ²⁰ And the cup in like manner after supper, saying: This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is shed for you.

³⁰ I can of myself do nothing. As I hear, I judge; and my judgment is just; because I seek not my own will, but the will of him who sent me.

³⁸ Because I have come down from heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of him who sent me.

²⁷ Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour! But for this cause came I unto this hour. ²⁸ Father, glorify thy name. Then there came a voice out of heaven: I both have glorified it, and will glorify it again.

¹¹ Jesus therefore said to Peter: Put up thy sword into the sheath. The cup which my Father has given me, shall I not drink it?

⁶ and says to him: If thou art the Son of God, cast thyself down; for it is written: He will give his angels command concerning thee; And on their hands they will bear thee up, Lest haply thou dash thy foot against a stone.

¹¹ Then the Devil leaves him; and behold, angels came and ministered to him.

⁵³ Thinkest thou that I can not now pray to my Father, and he will send me more than twelve legions of angels?

¹⁰ For it is written: He will give his angels command concerning thee, to keep thee; ¹¹ and on their hands they shall bear thee up, lest haply thou dash thy foot against a stone.

³² But I prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not; and thou, when thou hast turned, strengthen thy brethren.

²³ And after he had spent some time there, he departed, going through the country of Galatia and Phrygia in order, strengthening all the disciples.

¹⁶ And confessedly, great is the mystery of godliness; God was manifested in the flesh, was justified in the Spirit, was seen by angels, was preached among the Gentiles, was believed on in the world, was received up in glory.

⁶ But when he has again brought in the first-begotten into the world, he says And let all the angels of God worship him.

¹⁴ Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth for ministration, for the sake of those who are to inherit salvation?

¹⁷ Wherefore, in all things it became him to be made like to his brethren, that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people.

²⁷ Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour! But for this cause came I unto this hour.

⁷ who, in the days of his flesh offering up prayers and supplications, with strong crying and tears, to him who was able to save him from death, and being heard on account of his godly fear,

⁴⁰ And he comes to the disciples, and finds them sleeping; and he says to Peter: Were ye so unable to watch with me one hour?

⁴³ And coming he again found them sleeping; for their eyes were heavy.

³⁷ And he comes, and finds them sleeping. And he says to Peter: Simon, sleepest thou? Couldest thou not watch one hour?

⁴⁰ And returning, he found them again sleeping, for their eyes were heavy; and they knew not what to answer him. ⁴¹ And he comes the third time, and says to them: Do ye sleep the remaining time, and take your rest? It is enough, the hour is come; behold, the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.

³⁴ And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and that day come upon you unawares. ³⁵ For as a snare shall it come on all that dwell on the face of the whole earth. ³⁶ And watch, in every time praying that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.

⁴⁰ And when he was at the place, he said to them: Pray that ye enter not into temptation.

⁴⁵ Then he comes to his disciples, and says to them: Do ye sleep the remaining time, and take your rest! Behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners. ⁴⁶ Rise, let us be going. Behold, he is at hand that betrays me. ⁴⁷ And while he was yet speaking, behold, Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a great multitude with swords and staves, from the chief priests and elders of the people. ⁴⁸ And his betrayer gave them a sign, saying: Whom I shall kiss, that is he; hold him fast. ⁴⁹ And forthwith he came to Jesus, and said: Hail, Rabbi; and kissed him. ⁵⁰ And Jesus said to him: Friend, wherefore art thou come? Then they came, and laid hands on Jesus, and held him fast. ⁵¹ And, behold, one of those who were with Jesus stretched out his hand and drew his sword, and striking the servant of the high priest took off his ear. ⁵² Then says Jesus to him: Put back thy sword into its place; for all they who take the sword shall perish with the sword. ⁵³ Thinkest thou that I can not now pray to my Father, and he will send me more than twelve legions of angels?

¹⁰ And Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve, went to the chief priests, to deliver him up to them.

⁴¹ And he comes the third time, and says to them: Do ye sleep the remaining time, and take your rest? It is enough, the hour is come; behold, the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners. ⁴² Rise, let us go; behold, he that betrays me is at hand. ⁴³ And immediately, while he was yet speaking, comes Judas, one of the twelve, and with him a multitude with swords and staves, from the chief priests and the scribes and the elders. ⁴⁴ And his betrayer had given them a signal, saying: Whom I shall kiss, that is he; lay hold of him, and lead him away securely. ⁴⁵ And coming, he goes straightway to him, and says: Master, Master; and kissed him. ⁴⁶ And they laid their hands on him, and held him fast. ⁴⁷ And one of those standing by drew his sword, and smote the servant of the high priest, and took off his ear. ⁴⁸ And Jesus answering said to them: Came ye out, as against a robber, with swords and staves to take me? ⁴⁹ I was daily with you in the temple teaching, and ye did not lay hold of me; but that the Scriptures might be fulfilled! ⁵⁰ And all forsook him, and fled.

³ And Satan entered into Judas called Iscariot, being of the number of the twelve. ⁴ And he went away, and consulted with the chief priests and captains, how he might deliver him up to them. ⁵ And they were glad, and covenanted to give him money. ⁶ And he promised, and sought opportunity to deliver him up to them in the absence of the multitude.

² And Judas also, his betrayer knew the place; because Jesus ofttimes resorted thither with his disciples. ³ Judas therefore, having received the band and officers from the chief priests and Pharisees, comes thither with torches and lamps and weapons. ⁴ Jesus therefore, knowing all the things that were coming upon him, went forth and said to them: Whom do ye seek? ⁵ They answered him: Jesus the Nazarene. Jesus says to them: I am he. And Judas also, his betrayer, was standing with them. ⁶ When therefore he said to them, I am he, they went backward, and fell to the ground. ⁷ Again therefore he asked them: Whom do ye seek? And they said: Jesus the Nazarene. ⁸ Jesus answered: I told you that I am he; if therefore ye seek me, let these go their way; ⁹ that the saying might be fulfilled, which he spoke: Of those whom thou hast given me, I lost none. ¹⁰ 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. ¹¹ Jesus therefore said to Peter: Put up thy sword into the sheath. The cup which my Father has given me, shall I not drink it?

¹⁶ Men, brethren, it was necessary that the scripture should be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit by the mouth of David spoke before concerning Judas, who became guide to those who took Jesus. ¹⁷ Because he was numbered with us, and obtained the office of this ministry.— ¹⁸ Now this man purchased a field with the wages of iniquity; and falling headlong, he burst asunder in the midst, and all his bowels gushed out.

⁴⁸ And his betrayer gave them a sign, saying: Whom I shall kiss, that is he; hold him fast. ⁴⁹ And forthwith he came to Jesus, and said: Hail, Rabbi; and kissed him. ⁵⁰ And Jesus said to him: Friend, wherefore art thou come? Then they came, and laid hands on Jesus, and held him fast.

⁴⁴ And his betrayer had given them a signal, saying: Whom I shall kiss, that is he; lay hold of him, and lead him away securely. ⁴⁵ And coming, he goes straightway to him, and says: Master, Master; and kissed him. ⁴⁶ And they laid their hands on him, and held him fast.

³⁸ And they said: Lord, behold, here are two swords. And he said: It is enough!

⁵¹ And, behold, one of those who were with Jesus stretched out his hand and drew his sword, and striking the servant of the high priest took off his ear.

⁴⁷ And one of those standing by drew his sword, and smote the servant of the high priest, and took off his ear.

¹⁹ Avenge not yourselves, beloved, but give place to the wrath [of God]. For it is written: To me belongs vengeance; I will recompense, saith the Lord.

⁴ (for the weapons of our warfare are not fleshly, but mighty before God to the pulling down of strongholds)

⁸ Jesus answered: I told you that I am he; if therefore ye seek me, let these go their way; ⁹ that the saying might be fulfilled, which he spoke: Of those whom thou hast given me, I lost none.

²¹ Be not overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

¹ NOW I, Paul, myself beseech you by the meekness and gentleness of Christ, who in presence indeed am lowly among you, but being absent am bold toward you;

²¹ For to this ye were called; because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, that ye should follow his steps; ²² who committed no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth; ²³ who when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, threatened not; but committed it to him who judges righteously;

⁵⁵ In that hour Jesus said to the multitudes: Are ye come out as against a robber, with swords and staves, to take me? I sat daily with you teaching in the temple, and ye did not lay hold of me.

⁴⁸ And Jesus answering said to them: Came ye out, as against a robber, with swords and staves to take me? ⁴⁹ I was daily with you in the temple teaching, and ye did not lay hold of me; but that the Scriptures might be fulfilled!

⁴ And he went away, and consulted with the chief priests and captains, how he might deliver him up to them.

¹² And Jesus entered into the temple of God, and cast out all that sold and bought in the temple, and overturned the tables of the money-changers, and the seats of those who sold doves. ¹³ And he says to them: It is written, My house shall be called a house of prayer; But ye make it a den of robbers. ¹⁴ And the blind and the lame came to him in the temple, and he healed them. ¹⁵ But the chief priests and the scribes, seeing the wonders that he did, and the children crying in the temple, and saying, Hosanna to the Son of David, were much displeased,

²³ And when he had come into the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came to him as he was teaching, and said: By what authority doest thou these things; and who gave thee this authority?

³⁷ And in the daytime he was teaching in the temple; and at night he went out, and abode in the mount that is called Olivet. ³⁸ And all the people came early in the morning to him in the temple, to hear him.

²⁵ Then said some of those of Jerusalem: Is not this he whom they seek to kill? ²⁶ But, lo, he speaks boldly, and they say nothing to him. Did the rulers know in truth that this is the Christ?

³⁰ Therefore they sought to seize him; and no one laid hands on him, because his hour had not yet come.

⁴⁵ The officers therefore came to the chief priests and Pharisees; and they said to them: Why did ye not bring him?

³⁰ I will no longer talk much with you; for the prince of the world comes, and in me he has nothing.

²⁰ 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. ²¹ A woman when she is in travail has sorrow, because her hour is come; but when she has borne the child, she remembers no more the anguish, for joy that a man is born into the world. ²² And so ye now have sorrow; but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no one takes from you.

¹⁸ to open their eyes, that they may turn from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may obtain forgiveness of sins, and an inheritance among the sanctified, by faith in me.

³ But if our gospel is vailed, it is vailed in those who perish; ⁴ in whom the god of this world blinded the understandings of the unbelieving, that they should not discern the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God. ⁵ For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus as Lord; and ourselves as your servants for Jesus' sake. ⁶ Because it is God, who commands light to shine out of darkness; who shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ.

¹² For to us, the contest is not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against the spiritual powers of evil in the heavenly places.

⁹ And the great dragon was cast down, the old serpent, called the Devil and Satan, who leads astray the whole world; he was cast down to the earth, and his angels were cast down with him. ¹⁰ And I heard a loud voice in heaven, saying: Now is come the salvation, and the strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Christ; because the accuser of our brethren is cast down, who accused them before our God day and night. ¹¹ And they overcame him, because of the blood of the Lamb, and because of the word of their testimony; and they loved not their life, unto the death. ¹² For this cause rejoice, ye heavens, and they who dwell in them. Woe to the earth and the sea! For the Devil is come down to you, having great wrath, knowing that he has little time.

⁵⁷ And they who laid hold of Jesus led him away to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were assembled. ⁵⁸ And Peter followed him afar off, unto the court of the high priest; and entering in, he sat with the servants, to see the end.

⁵³ And they led Jesus away to the high priest; and with him assembled all the chief priests and the elders and the scribes. ⁵⁴ And Peter followed him afar off, even into the court of the high priest, and was sitting with the officers, and warming himself at the fire.

³³ And he said to him: Lord, I am ready to go with thee, both to prison and to death. ³⁴ And he said: I say to thee, Peter, a cock will not crow this day, till thou shalt thrice deny that thou knowest me.

¹² So the band, and the captain, and the officers of the Jews, took Jesus and bound him, ¹³ and led him away to Annas first; for he was father-in-law of Caiaphas, who was high priest that year. ¹⁴ And it was Caiaphas who counseled the Jews, that it is expedient that one man should die for the people. ¹⁵ And Simon Peter and the other disciple followed Jesus. That disciple was known to the high priest, and went in with Jesus into the court of the high priest. ¹⁶ But Peter was standing at the door without. Therefore the other disciple, who was known to the high priest, went out and spoke to her that kept the door, and brought in Peter. ¹⁷ Then the damsel that kept the door says to Peter: Art not thou also one of this man's disciples? He says: I am not.

²⁴ Annas sent him bound to Caiaphas the high priest.

³ Then assembled together the chief priests, and the elders of the people, in the court of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas,

⁶⁹ And Peter was sitting without, in the court. And a damsel came to him, saying: Thou also wast with Jesus the Galilaean. ⁷⁰ But he denied before all, saying: I know not what thou sayest. ⁷¹ And he having gone out into the porch, another maid saw him, and said to those who were there: This man also was with Jesus the Nazarene. ⁷² And again he denied, with an oath: I do not know the man. ⁷³ And after a little while, they that stood by came and said to Peter: Surely thou also art one of them; for thy speech betrays thee. ⁷⁴ Then he began to invoke curses, and to swear: I do not know the man. And immediately a cock crowed. ⁷⁵ And Peter remembered the word of Jesus when he said: Before a cock crows, thou wilt thrice deny me. And he went out, and wept bitterly.

⁶⁶ And Peter being below in the court, there comes one of the maid-servants of the high priest; ⁶⁷ and seeing Peter warming himself, she looked upon him, and said: Thou also wast with Jesus the Nazarene. ⁶⁸ But he denied, saying: I do not know, nor do I understand what thou sayest. And he went out into the fore-court; and a cock crowed. ⁶⁹ And the maid-servant, seeing him, began again to say to those standing by: This is one of them. ⁷⁰ And he again denied it. And a little after, they that stood by said again to Peter: Surely thou art one of them; for thou art a Galilaean.

⁴⁴ And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly; and his sweat became as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground.

¹⁶ But Peter was standing at the door without. Therefore the other disciple, who was known to the high priest, went out and spoke to her that kept the door, and brought in Peter. ¹⁷ Then the damsel that kept the door says to Peter: Art not thou also one of this man's disciples? He says: I am not. ¹⁸ And the servants and the officers were standing there, having made a fire of coals, because it was cold, and were warming themselves; and Peter was standing with them, and warming himself.

²⁵ And Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. They said therefore to him: Art thou also one of his disciples? He denied, and said: I am not. ²⁶ One of the servants of the high priest, being a kinsman of him whose ear Peter cut off, says: Did not I see thee in the garden with him? ²⁷ Again therefore Peter denied; and immediately a cock crowed.

³³ Be not deceived; evil communications corrupt good manners.

¹⁵ And what concord has Christ with Belial? Or what part has a believer with an unbeliever? ¹⁶ And what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For ye are a temple of the living God; as God said: I will dwell in them, and walk among them; and I will be their God, and they shall be to me a people. ¹⁷ Wherefore, come out from among them, and be separated, saith the Lord, and touch not anything unclean; and I will receive you,

⁶⁹ And Peter was sitting without, in the court. And a damsel came to him, saying: Thou also wast with Jesus the Galilaean.

⁶ And Jesus said: Let her alone; why do ye trouble her? She wrought a good work on me.

⁶⁶ And Peter being below in the court, there comes one of the maid-servants of the high priest; ⁶⁷ and seeing Peter warming himself, she looked upon him, and said: Thou also wast with Jesus the Nazarene. ⁶⁸ But he denied, saying: I do not know, nor do I understand what thou sayest. And he went out into the fore-court; and a cock crowed.

¹⁷ Then the damsel that kept the door says to Peter: Art not thou also one of this man's disciples? He says: I am not.

³³ But whoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father who is in heaven.

⁷⁰ But he denied before all, saying: I know not what thou sayest.

⁹ but he that denied me before men shall be denied before the angels of God.

²⁵ And Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. They said therefore to him: Art thou also one of his disciples? He denied, and said: I am not.

¹³ The God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob, the God of our fathers, glorified his servant Jesus; whom ye delivered up, and denied him in the presence of Pilate, when he decided to release him. ¹⁴ But ye denied the Holy and Just, and demanded that a murderer should be granted to you.

¹⁰ For this cause, I endure all things for the sake of the chosen, that they also may obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus, with eternal glory. ¹¹ Faithful is the saying: For if we died with him, we shall also live with him; ¹² if we endure, we shall also reign with him; if we shall deny him, he also will deny us;

⁹ If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous, that he may forgive us our sins, and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

⁷¹ And he having gone out into the porch, another maid saw him, and said to those who were there: This man also was with Jesus the Nazarene. ⁷² And again he denied, with an oath: I do not know the man.

⁶⁹ And the maid-servant, seeing him, began again to say to those standing by: This is one of them. ⁷⁰ And he again denied it. And a little after, they that stood by said again to Peter: Surely thou art one of them; for thou art a Galilaean.

⁷³ And after a little while, they that stood by came and said to Peter: Surely thou also art one of them; for thy speech betrays thee. ⁷⁴ Then he began to invoke curses, and to swear: I do not know the man. And immediately a cock crowed.

³⁴ And he said: I say to thee, Peter, a cock will not crow this day, till thou shalt thrice deny that thou knowest me.

³⁰ And immediately Jesus, perceiving in himself that power had gone forth from him, turned about in the crowd, and said: Who touched my garments?

¹³ And seeing her, the Lord had compassion on her, and said to her: Weep not.

³¹ Him, as a prince and a Savior, did God exalt to his right hand, to give repentance to Israel, and remission of sins.

¹¹ Wherefore remember, that in time past ye, the Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called Circumcision, in the flesh, made by hand,—

⁵ Remember therefore from whence thou hast fallen, and repent, and do the first works; but if not, I am coming to thee, and will remove thy lamp-stand out of its place, if thou repent not.

⁴ Happy they that mourn; for they shall be comforted.

¹² Wherefore let him that thinks he stands, take heed lest he fall.

⁹ Now I rejoice, not that ye were made sorry, but that ye were made sorry unto repentance; for ye were made sorry after a godly manner, that ye might in nothing receive harm from us. ¹⁰ For godly sorrow works repentance unto salvation, not to be regretted; but the sorrow of the world works out death. ¹¹ For behold this very thing, that ye were made sorry after a godly manner, what earnestness it wrought in you; yea, what clearing of yourselves; yea, what indignation; yea, what fear; yea, what longing desire; yea, what zeal; yea, what avenging! In every thing ye commended yourselves as pure in the matter.

⁵⁹ And the chief priests, and the elders, and all the council, sought false witness against Jesus, that they might put him to death; ⁶⁰ and found none, though many false witnesses came. But at last came two, ⁶¹ and said: This man said, I am able to destroy the temple of God, and to build it in three days. ⁶² And the high priest arose, and said to him: Answerest thou nothing? What do these witness against thee? ⁶³ But Jesus was silent. And the high priest answering said to him: I adjure thee by the living God, that thou tell us whether thou art the Christ, the Son of God. ⁶⁴ Jesus says to him: Thou saidst it. But I say to you, hereafter ye shall see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming on the clouds of heaven. ⁶⁵ Then the high priest rent his clothes, saying: He blasphemed! What further need have we of witnesses? Behold, ye now heard his blasphemy. ⁶⁶ What think ye? They answering said: He is guilty of death. ⁶⁷ Then they spit in his face, and buffeted him; and others smote him, ⁶⁸ saying: Prophesy to us, O Christ, who is he that struck thee?

²⁸ And they stripped him, and put on him a scarlet robe. ²⁹ And having platted a crown of thorns, they put it on his head, and a reed in his right hand; and bowing the knee before him, they mocked him, saying: Hail, King of the Jews! ³⁰ And they spit upon him, and took the reed, and smote him on the head. ³¹ And when they had mocked him, they took off the robe from him, and put on him his own garments, and led him away to crucify him.

³⁹ And those passing by reviled him, wagging their heads, ⁴⁰ and saying: Thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days, save thyself. If thou art the Son of God, come down from the cross. ⁴¹ Likewise also the chief priests mocking, with the scribes and elders, said: ⁴² Others he saved, himself he can not save. If he is King of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe on him. ⁴³ He trusts in God; let him now deliver him, if he desires him; for he said I am the Son of God. ⁴⁴ And also the robbers, who were crucified with him, reproached him with the same thing.

⁵⁵ And the chief priests and all the council sought for testimony against Jesus, in order to put him to death; and they found none. ⁵⁶ For many bore false witness against him; but their testimonies agreed not together. ⁵⁷ And certain ones rose up, and bore false witness against him, saying: ⁵⁸ We heard him say, I will destroy this temple that is made with hands, and in three days I will build another made without hands. ⁵⁹ And not even so did their testimony agree. ⁶⁰ And the high priest stood up in the midst, and asked Jesus, saying: Answerest thou nothing? What do these witness against thee? ⁶¹ But he was silent, and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked him, and said to him: Art thou the Christ, the Son of the Blessed? ⁶² And Jesus said: I am; and ye shall see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming with the clouds of heaven. ⁶³ And the high priest, rending his clothes, says: What further need have we of witnesses? ⁶⁴ Ye heard the blasphemy. What think ye? And they all condemned him to be guilty of death. ⁶⁵ And some began to spit on him, and to cover his face and buffet him, and say to him: Prophesy. And the officers, with blows, took him in charge.

¹⁶ And the soldiers led him away into the court, which is Praetorium; and they call together the whole band. ¹⁷ And they clothe him with purple, and having platted a crown of thorns, they put it on him. ¹⁸ And they began to salute him: Hail, King of the Jews! ¹⁹ And they smote him on the head with a reed, and spit upon him, and kneeling down, did homage to him. ²⁰ And when they had mocked him, they took off the purple from him, and put on him his own garments. And they lead him out to crucify him.

²⁷ And with him they crucify two robbers; one on his right hand, and one on his left. ²⁸ And the scripture was fulfilled, which says: And he was reckoned with transgressors. ²⁹ And they that passed by railed at him, wagging their heads, and saying: Aha, thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days; ³⁰ save thyself, and come down from the cross. ³¹ Likewise also the chief priests, mocking one with another, together with the scribes, said: Others he saved, himself he can not save. ³² Let the Christ, the King of Israel, come down now from the cross, that we may see and believe. And they that were crucified with him reproached him.

²² And when he had said this, one of the officers who was standing by gave Jesus a blow on the face, saying: Answerest thou the high priest so?

² looking away to the author and finisher of the faith, Jesus; who for the joy set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down on the right hand of the throne of God.

²³ who when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, threatened not; but committed it to him who judges righteously;

³¹ Therefore I say to you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven to men; but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven. ³² And whoever speaks a word against the Son of man, it will be forgiven him; but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven him, neither in this world, nor in that which is to come.

³⁹ And those passing by reviled him, wagging their heads,

¹⁰ And every one that shall speak a word against the Son of man, it will be forgiven him; but to him that blasphemes against the Holy Spirit, it shall not be forgiven.

¹¹ And punishing them often, throughout all the synagogues, I constrained them to blaspheme; and being exceedingly mad against them, I persecuted them also unto foreign cities.

¹³ who was formerly a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and overbearing. But I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly, in unbelief; ¹⁴ and the grace of our Lord abounded exceedingly, with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.

²² But I say to you, that every one who is angry with his brother, without cause, shall be in danger of the judgment; and whoever shall say to his brother, Raca! shall be in danger of the council; and whoever shall say, Thou fool! shall be in danger of hell-fire.

¹ AND when morning came, all the chief priests and the elders of the people took counsel against Jesus, so as to put him to death.

¹ AND straightway, in the morning, the chief priests with the elders and scribes and the whole council, having held a consultation, bound Jesus and carried him away, and delivered him up to Pilate.

²⁸ Then they lead Jesus from Caiaphas into the Governor's palace; and it was early; and they themselves went not into the palace, that they might not be defiled, but might eat the passover.

⁵ As also the high priest bears me witness, and all the eldership; from whom, moreover, I received letters to the brethren, and was journeying to Damascus, to bring also those who were there bound to Jerusalem, that they might be punished.

³ and said to him: Art thou he that comes, or look we for another? ⁴ And Jesus answering said to them: Go and report to John what ye hear and see. ⁵ The blind receive sight and the lame walk, lepers are cleansed and the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and to the poor good tidings are published.

⁶¹ But he was silent, and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked him, and said to him: Art thou the Christ, the Son of the Blessed? ⁶² And Jesus said: I am; and ye shall see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming with the clouds of heaven. ⁶³ And the high priest, rending his clothes, says: What further need have we of witnesses? ⁶⁴ Ye heard the blasphemy. What think ye? And they all condemned him to be guilty of death. ⁶⁵ And some began to spit on him, and to cover his face and buffet him, and say to him: Prophesy. And the officers, with blows, took him in charge. ⁶⁶ And Peter being below in the court, there comes one of the maid-servants of the high priest;

³¹ And he said to him: If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one should rise from the dead.

³⁹ Search the Scriptures; because in them ye think ye have eternal life, and these are they that testify of me; ⁴⁰ and ye will not come to me, that ye may have life. ⁴¹ I receive not honor from men. ⁴² But I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you. ⁴³ I have come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not; if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive. ⁴⁴ How can ye believe, receiving honor from one another, and the honor that is from God alone ye seek not? ⁴⁵ Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father; there is one that accuses you, Moses in whom ye have placed your hope. ⁴⁶ For if ye believed Moses, ye would believe me; for he wrote of me. ⁴⁷ But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words?

⁴³ Why do ye not understand my speech? Because ye can not hear my word. ⁴⁴ Ye are of your father the Devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abides not in the truth, because truth is not in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks of his own; because he is a liar, and the father of it. ⁴⁵ And because I speak the truth, ye believe me not.

²⁷ He answered them: I told you already, and ye did not hear. Wherefore would ye hear again? Will ye also become his disciples? ²⁸ They reviled him, and said: Thou art his disciple; but we are Moses' disciples.

²⁴ The Jews therefore came around him, and said to him: How long dost thou hold us in doubt? If thou art the Christ, tell us plainly. ²⁵ Jesus answered them: I told you, and ye do not believe. The works that I do in my Father's name, these bear witness of me. ²⁶ But ye do not believe; for ye are not of my sheep, as I said to you.

³⁷ But though he had wrought so many signs before them, they did not believe on him; ³⁸ that the saying of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spoke: Lord, who believed our report, And to whom was the arm of the Lord revealed? ³⁹ Therefore they could not believe, because Isaiah said again: ⁴⁰ He has blinded their eyes, And has hardened their heart; That they should not see with their eyes, And understand with their heart, And turn, and I should heal them. ⁴¹ These things said Isaiah, because he saw his glory, and spoke of him. ⁴² Yet, even of the rulers many believed on him; but because of the Pharisees they did not acknowledge him, lest they should be put out of the synagogue; ⁴³ for they loved the glory of men more than the glory of God.

³ And he answering said to them: I also will ask you one thing; and tell it me. ⁴ John's immersion, was it from heaven, or from men? ⁵ And they reasoned with themselves, saying: If we say, From heaven, he will say, Why, then did ye not believe him? ⁶ But if we say, From men, all the people will stone us; for they are persuaded that John was a prophet. ⁷ And they answered, that they knew not whence it was.

⁴¹ And he said to them: How say they that the Christ is son of David? ⁴² And David himself says in the book of Psalms: The LORD said to my Lord, Sit on my right hand, ⁴³ Till I make thine enemies thy footstool. ⁴⁴ David therefore calls him Lord, and how is he his son?

⁴⁴ The Lord said to my Lord, Sit on my right hand, Till I put thine enemies under thy feet.

⁶⁴ Jesus says to him: Thou saidst it. But I say to you, hereafter ye shall see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming on the clouds of heaven.

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

¹⁹ The Lord therefore, after he had spoken to them, was taken up into heaven, and sat down on the right hand of God;

⁵⁵ But, being full of the Holy Spirit, he looked intently into heaven, and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God, and said: ⁵⁶ Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing on the right hand of God.

²⁰ which he wrought in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his own right hand in the heavenly places, ²¹ far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come; ²² and subjected all things under his feet, and gave him to be head over all things to the church, ²³ which is his body, the fullness of him who fills all in all.

⁸ Wherefore he says: When he ascended on high, He led captivity captive, And gave gifts to men. ⁹ Now this, he ascended, what is it but that he also descended into the lower parts of the earth? ¹⁰ The one who descended, he is also the one who ascended above all the heavens, that he may fill all things.

¹ IF then ye were raised together with Christ, seek the things above, where Christ is, sitting on the right hand of God.

³ who, being the brightness of his glory and the impress of his substance, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself made a cleansing of sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;

¹ Now of the things which we are saying, this is the chief: We have such a high priest, who sat down on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty of the heavens;

²² who is on the right hand of God, having gone into heaven, angels and authorities and powers being made subject to him.

¹ AND he showed me a river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.

¹⁷ And lo, a voice out of heaven, saying: This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.

³ And coming to him, the tempter said: If thou art the Son of God, command that these stones become loaves of bread.

¹¹ And Jesus stood before the governor. And the governor questioned him, saying: Art thou the king of the Jews? And Jesus said to him: Thou sayest it.

⁴³ He trusts in God; let him now deliver him, if he desires him; for he said I am the Son of God.

⁵⁴ And the centurion, and they that with him were watching Jesus, on seeing the earthquake, and the things that were done, were exceedingly afraid, saying: Truly this was the Son of God.

² And Pilate asked him: Art thou the King of the Jews? And he answering said to him: Thou sayest it.

⁴¹ And demons also came out from many, crying out, and saying: Thou art the Son of God. And he, rebuking them, suffered them not to speak, because they knew that he was the Christ.

³ And Pilate asked him, saying: Art thou the King of the Jews? And he answering said to him: Thou sayest it.

³⁴ And I have seen, and have borne witness, that this is the Son of God.

⁴⁹ Nathanael answered: Rabbi; thou art the Son of God, thou art the King of Israel.

³⁰ I and the Father are one.

³⁶ say ye of him, whom the Father sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest, because I said, I am the Son of God?

³⁷ Pilate therefore said to him: Art thou a king then? Jesus answered: Thou sayest it; because I am a king. To this end have I been born, and to this end have I come into the world, that I may bear witness to the truth. Every one that is of the truth hears my voice.

⁷ The Jews answered him: We have a law, and by our law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God.

⁶⁵ Then the high priest rent his clothes, saying: He blasphemed! What further need have we of witnesses? Behold, ye now heard his blasphemy. ⁶⁶ What think ye? They answering said: He is guilty of death.

⁶³ And the high priest, rending his clothes, says: What further need have we of witnesses? ⁶⁴ Ye heard the blasphemy. What think ye? And they all condemned him to be guilty of death.
