¹³ But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men; for ye go not in, nor suffer those who are entering to go in: ¹⁴ [V. 14 is wanting in the oldest and best copies.] ¹⁵ Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye traverse sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more a child of hell than yourselves. ¹⁶ Woe to you, blind guides, who say: Whoever shall swear by the temple, it is nothing; but whoever shall swear by the gold of the temple, he is bound. ¹⁷ Fools and blind; for which is greater, the gold, or the temple that sanctifies the gold? ¹⁸ And, Whoever shall swear by the altar, it is nothing; but whoever shall swear by the gift that is upon it, he is bound. ¹⁹ Fools and blind; for which is greater, the gift, or the altar that sanctifies the gift? ²⁰ He therefore who swears by the altar, swears by it, and by all things thereon. ²¹ And he that swears by the temple, swears by it, and by him who dwells therein. ²² And he that swears by heaven, swears by the throne of God, and by him who sits thereon. ²³ Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye pay tithe of the mint and the dill and the cumin, and omitted the weightier things of the law, judgment, and mercy, and faith; these ought ye to have done, and not leave those undone. ²⁴ Blind guides! that strain out the gnat, and swallow the camel. ²⁵ Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye cleanse the outside of the cup and the platter, but within they are full of rapacity and excess. ²⁶ Blind Pharisee! Cleanse first the inside of the cup and the platter, that its outside also may become clean. ²⁷ Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye are like to whited sepulchres, which outwardly indeed appear beautiful, but within are full of bones of the dead, and of all uncleanness. ²⁸ So also ye outwardly indeed appear righteous to men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.

And Peter answering says to him: Thou art the Christ.

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.

¹⁸ And it came to pass, as he was alone praying, that his disciples were with him; and he asked them, saying: Who do the multitudes say that I am? ¹⁹ They answering said: John the Immerser; and others, Elijah; and others, that one of the old prophets has risen again. ²⁰ And he said to them: But who do ye say that I am? Peter answering said: The Christ of God.

⁵¹ And he says to him: Verily, verily, I say to you, henceforth ye shall see heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man.

¹⁴ And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of man be lifted up;

²⁷ And he gave him authority to execute judgment also, because he is a son of man.

³⁴ The multitude answered him: We heard out of the law that the Christ abides forever; and how sayest thou: The Son of man must be lifted up? Who is this Son of man?

⁵⁶ Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing on the right hand of God.

³⁸ how God anointed him with the Holy Spirit and with power; who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed by the Devil; because God was with him.

¹⁴ Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself in like manner took part in the same; that through death he might destroy him who had the power of death, that is, the Devil; ¹⁵ and might deliver those who, through fear of death, were all their lifetime subject to bondage. ¹⁶ For surely he does not succor angels; but he succors the seed of Abraham. 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. ¹⁸ For in that he himself has suffered being tempted, he is able to help those who are tempted.

² And he said to his servants: This is John the Immerser; he is risen from the dead, and therefore do these powers work in him.

¹⁰ And his disciples asked him, saying: Why then say the scribes that Elijah must first come?

¹⁵ Others said: It is Elijah. And others said: It is a prophet, like any one of the prophets.

²⁸ And they answered him saying: John the Immerser; and others, Elijah; and others, one of the prophets.

⁸ and by some: Elijah has appeared; and by others: One of the old prophets has risen again.

¹⁸ And it came to pass, as he was alone praying, that his disciples were with him; and he asked them, saying: Who do the multitudes say that I am? ¹⁹ They answering said: John the Immerser; and others, Elijah; and others, that one of the old prophets has risen again.

²¹ And they asked him: What then? Art thou Elijah? And he says: I am not. Art thou the Prophet? And he answered: No.

¹² And there was much murmuring among the multitudes concerning him. Some said: He is a good man; others said: Nay, but he misleads the multitude.

⁴⁰ Some of the multitude therefore, hearing the words, said: Of a truth this is the Prophet. ⁴¹ Others said: This is the Christ. But some said: Does the Christ then come out of Galilee?

¹⁷ They say to the blind man again: What sayest thou of him, seeing that he opened thine eyes? He said: He is a Prophet.

¹¹ And he answering said to them: To you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven; but to them it is not given.

²⁹ And he asked them: But who do ye say that I am? And Peter answering says to him: Thou art the Christ.

²⁰ And he said to them: But who do ye say that I am? Peter answering said: The Christ of God.

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

³³ And those in the ship came and worshiped him, saying: Of a truth, thou art the Son of God.

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.

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.

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

⁶⁹ And we believe and know, that thou art the Holy One of God.

¹⁵ and saying: Sirs, why do ye these things? We also are men of like nature with you, bringing you glad tidings, that ye should turn from these vanities to the living God, who made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all things that are therein;

⁴ who was declared to be the Son of God with power according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead, Jesus Christ our Lord;

³ being made manifest that ye are a letter of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tablets of stone, but in fleshly tablets of the heart.

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.

¹⁰ For to this end we both labor and suffer reproach, because we have hoped in the living God, who is the Savior of all men, especially of believers.

² in these last days spoke to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, by whom he also made the worlds; 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; ⁴ having become so much superior to the angels, as he has inherited a more excellent name than they. ⁵ For to whom of the angels said he ever: Thou art my Son, I this day have begotten thee; and again: I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son.

³¹ It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

²² But ye have come to mount Zion, and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to myriads of angels,

¹⁵ Whoever acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God.

⁵ Who is he that overcomes the world, but he that believes that Jesus is the Son of God?

²⁰ And we know that the Son of God is come, and has given us understanding, that we may know the True one; and we are in the True One, in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.

³ Happy the poor in spirit; for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. ⁴ Happy they that mourn; for they shall be comforted. ⁵ Happy the meek; for they shall inherit the earth. ⁶ Happy they that hunger and thirst after righteousness; for they shall be filled. ⁷ Happy the merciful; for they shall obtain mercy. ⁸ Happy the pure in heart; for they shall see God. ⁹ Happy the peacemakers; for they shall be called sons of God. ¹⁰ Happy they who are persecuted for righteousness' sake; for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. ¹¹ Happy are ye, when they shall revile and persecute you, and shall say all evil against you falsely, for my sake.

²⁵ At that time Jesus answered and said: I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou didst hide these things from the wise and discerning, and reveal them to babes; ²⁶ yea, O Father, that so it seemed good in thy sight! ²⁷ All things were delivered to me by my Father; and no one knows the Son but the Father; nor does any one know the Father but the Son, and he to whom the Son is pleased to reveal him.

¹⁶ But happy are your eyes, because they see; and your ears, because they hear. ¹⁷ For verily I say to you, that many prophets and righteous men desired to see what ye are beholding, and did not see, and to hear what ye are hearing, and did not hear.

²¹ In that hour he rejoiced in spirit, and said: I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou didst hide these things from the wise and discerning, and reveal them to babes; yea, O Father, that so it seemed good in thy sight. ²² All things were delivered to me by my Father; and no one knows who the Son is but the Father, and who the Father is but the Son, and he to whom the Son is pleased to reveal him. ²³ And turning to the disciples, he said privately: Happy are the eyes that behold what ye are beholding. ²⁴ For I say to you, that many prophets and kings desired to see what ye are beholding, and saw not, and to hear what ye are hearing, and heard not.

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

⁴² And he brought him to Jesus. Jesus, beholding him, said: Thou art Simon the son of Jonah; thou shalt be called Cephas, which is interpreted, Peter.

⁴⁵ It is written in the prophets: And they shall all be taught of God. Every one that has heard from the Father, and has learned, comes to me.

⁶ I manifested thy name to the men whom thou hast given me out of the world. Thine they were, and thou hast given them to me; and they have kept thy word. ⁷ Now they know that all things whatever thou hast given me are from thee; ⁸ because the words which thou gayest me I have given to them, and they received them, and knew in truth that I came forth from thee, and believed 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.

⁹ but (as it is written) things which eye saw not, nor ear heard, and which entered not into the heart of man, which God prepared for those who love him; ¹⁰ but to us God revealed them by his Spirit, for the Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God. ¹¹ For who among men knows the things of a man, save the spirit of the man, which is in him? So also the things of God no one knows, but the Spirit of God. ¹² And we received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that were freely given to us by God.

⁵⁰ And this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood can not inherit the kingdom of God; nor does corruption inherit incorruption.

¹¹ Now I make known to you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached by me is not according to man; ¹² for I also did not receive it from man, nor was I taught it, but through the revelation of Jesus Christ.

¹⁶ to reveal his Son in me, that I should make known the glad news of him among the Gentiles; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood; ¹⁷ that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, would give to you the spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the full knowledge of him; ¹⁸ the eyes of your heart being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,

⁸ For by grace ye are saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God;

⁵ which in other generations was not made known to the sons of men, as it has now been revealed to his holy apostles and prophets in the Spirit;

¹⁸ that ye may be able to comprehend, with all the saints, what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height, ¹⁹ and to know the love of Christ, which passes knowledge, that ye may be filled unto all the fullness of God.

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.

²⁶ the mystery which has been hidden from ages and from generations, but now has been manifested to his saints; ²⁷ to whom God willed to make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory;

¹⁴ Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself in like manner took part in the same; that through death he might destroy him who had the power of death, that is, the Devil;

³ Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to his abundant mercy begot us again unto a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead; ⁴ unto an inheritance imperishable, and undefiled, and unfading, reserved in heaven for you, ⁵ who by the power of God are kept through faith, unto a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.

¹ THE elders among you I exhort, who am a fellow-elder, and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, who am also a partaker of the glory that shall be revealed;

² And the names of the twelve apostles are these; first Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother;

²³ And thou, Capernaum, that wast exalted to heaven, shalt go down to the underworld. For if the miracles, that were done in thee, had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day.

¹⁷ And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell it to the church; and if he neglect to hear the church also, let him be to thee as a heathen and a publican.

²⁷ My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me; ²⁸ and I give to them eternal life; and they shall never perish, nor shall any one pluck them out of my hand. ²⁹ My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all; and no one is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand. ³⁰ I and the Father are one.

⁴⁷ praising God, and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily those who are saved.

¹ AND Saul was consenting to his death. And on that day there arose a great persecution against the church which was at Jerusalem; and all were scattered abroad throughout the regions of Judaea and Samaria, except the apostles.

³³ Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's chosen? God is he that justifies; 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. ³⁵ Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? ³⁶ As it is written: For, for thy sake we are killed all the day long; We were accounted as sheep for slaughter. ³⁷ Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. ³⁸ For I am persuaded, that neither death nor life, neither angels nor principalities nor powers, neither things present nor things to come, ³⁹ neither height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

⁹ For we are God's fellow-laborers; ye are God's field, God's building. ¹⁰ According to the grace of God which was given to me, as a wise master-builder I laid a foundation, and another builds thereon. But let each one take heed how he builds thereon. ¹¹ For other foundation can no one lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ.

⁵⁵ Where, O death, is thy sting? Where, O death, is thy victory?

⁹ and having learned the grace that was given to me, James and Cephas and John, who were reputed to be pillars, gave to me and Barnabas right hands of fellowship, that we should go to the Gentiles, and they to the circumcision;

¹⁹ So then ye are no longer strangers and sojourners, but ye are fellow-citizens with the saints, and of the household of God; ²⁰ having been built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the chief corner-stone; ²¹ in whom all the building, fitly framed together, grows unto a holy temple in the Lord; ²² in whom ye also are builded together for a habitation of God in the Spirit.

¹⁰ that now, to the principalities and powers in the heavenly places might be made known through the church the manifold wisdom of God,

²⁵ Husbands, love your wives, as also Christ loved the church, and gave himself up for it; ²⁶ that he might sanctify it, having cleansed it by the bathing of water in the word, ²⁷ that he might himself present to himself the church, glorious, having no spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing, but that it may be holy and blameless.

³² This mystery is great; but I am speaking of Christ and of the church.

¹⁸ And he is the head of the body, the church; who is the beginning, the first-born from the dead; that he may become in all things pre-eminent.

⁵ (but if one knows not how to preside over his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?)

³ For he has been accounted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as he who has built the house has more honor than the house. ⁴ For every house is builded by some one; but he who built all things is God.

²⁸ Wherefore, receiving a kingdom which can not be shaken, let us have grace whereby we may serve God acceptably, with reverence and godly fear;

¹⁵ And the seventh angel sounded; and there followed loud voices in heaven, saying: The kingdom of the world is become our Lord's, and his Christ's; and he will reign forever and ever.

¹ AND I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the first heaven and the first earth passed away, and the sea is no more. ² And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. ³ And I heard a loud voice out of the throne, saying: Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and GOD-WITH-THEM himself will he their God. ⁴ And he will wipe away every tear from their eyes; and death shall be no more, nor shall mourning, nor crying, nor pain be any more; because the former things are passed away.

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

¹⁸ Verily I say to you: Whatever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven; and whatever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.

²³ Whosesoever sins ye remit, they are remitted to them; and whosesoever ye retain, they are retained.

¹⁴ But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and said to them: Men of Judaea, and all that dwell in Jerusalem, be this known to you, and hearken to my words. ¹⁵ For these are not drunken, as ye suppose, for it is the third hour of the day. ¹⁶ But this is what was spoken through the prophet Joel: ¹⁷ And it shall be in the last days, saith God, That I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh; And your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, And your young men shall see visions, And your old men shall dream dreams; ¹⁸ And even on my servants and on my handmaids, I will pour out of my Spirit in those days, And they shall prophesy. ¹⁹ And I will show wonders in heaven above, And signs in the earth beneath, Blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke. ²⁰ The sun shall be turned into darkness, And the moon into blood, Before the great and notable day of the Lord shall come. ²¹ And it shall be, that every one who shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved. ²² Men of Israel, hear these words! Jesus the Nazarene, a man accredited to you from God by miracles, and wonders, and signs, which God wrought by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves know; ²³ this man, delivered up according to the established counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye slew, crucifying him by the hand of lawless ones; ²⁴ whom God raised up, having loosed the pains of death; because it was not possible that he should be held by it. ²⁵ For David says concerning him: I saw the Lord always before me; Because he is on my right hand, that I should not be moved. ²⁶ For this my heart rejoiced, and my tongue exulted; Moreover also my flesh shall rest in hope; ²⁷ Because thou wilt not abandon my soul to the underworld, Nor wilt thou suffer thy Holy One to see corruption. ²⁸ Thou didst make known to me the ways of life; Thou wilt make me full of joy with thy presence. ²⁹ Men, brethren, I may speak freely to you of the patriarch David, that he both died and was buried, and his sepulchre is among us unto this day. 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. ³⁷ And hearing this, they were pierced to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles: Men, brethren, what shall we do? ³⁸ And Peter said to them: Repent, and be each of you immersed, upon the name of Jesus Christ, unto remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. ³⁹ For the promise is to you, and to your children, and to all those afar off, as many as the Lord our God shall have called. ⁴⁰ And with many other words did he bear witness and exhort, saying: Save yourselves from this perverse generation. ⁴¹ They therefore, having received his word, were immersed and on that day there were added about three thousand souls. ⁴² And they were constantly attending on the teaching of the apostles, and the distribution, and the breaking of bread, and prayers.

³⁴ And Peter opened his mouth, and said: Of a truth I perceive that God is not a respecter of persons; ³⁵ but in every nation he that fears him, and works righteousness, is acceptable to him. ³⁶ The word which he sent to the sons of Israel, publishing glad tidings of peace through Jesus Christ (he is Lord of all), ³⁷ ye know; the thing which was done throughout all Judaea, beginning from Galilee, after the immersion which John preached; Jesus of Nazareth, ³⁸ how God anointed him with the Holy Spirit and with power; who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed by the Devil; because God was with him. ³⁹ And we are witnesses of all things which he did both in the country of the Jews, and in Jerusalem; whom they slew, hanging him on a tree. ⁴⁰ Him God raised on the third day, and showed him openly; ⁴¹ not to all the people, but to witnesses before appointed by God, to us, who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead. ⁴² And he commanded us to preach to the people, and to testify that it is he who has been appointed by God to be Judge of the living and dead. ⁴³ To him all the prophets bear witness, that through his name every one who believes on him shall receive remission of sins.

⁷ And when there had been much discussion, Peter arose, and said to them: Men, brethren, ye know that a long time ago God made choice among us, that by my mouth the Gentiles should hear the word of the glad tidings and believe.

⁴ in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, ye being gathered together, and my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ, ⁵ to deliver such a one to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.

¹⁰ To whom ye forgive anything, I forgive also; for what I have forgiven, if I have forgiven anything, for your sakes I forgave it in the person of Christ,

⁸ Therefore he that rejects, rejects not man, but God, who also gave to you his Holy Spirit.

¹⁸ and the living one; and I became dead, and behold I am alive forevermore; and I have the keys of death and of the underworld.

⁷ And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write: These things says the Holy, the True, he who has the key of David, he who opens, and no one shall shut, and shuts, and no one opens.

¹ AND the fifth angel sounded; and I saw a star fallen out of heaven to the earth, and there was given to him the key of the pit of the abyss.

⁶ These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy; and have power over the waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with every plague, as often as they will.

¹ AND I saw an angel coming down out of heaven, having the key of the abyss, and a great chain in his hand. ² And he laid hold of the dragon, the old serpent, which is the Devil and Satan, and bound him a thousand years, ³ and cast him into the abyss, and shut it, and set a seal over him, that he mislead the nations no more, until the thousand years are finished; after these he must be loosed a little time.

⁴ And Jesus says to him: See thou tell no one; but go, show thyself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, for a testimony to them.

⁹ And as they came down out of the mountain, Jesus charged them, saying: Tell no one the vision, until the Son of man is risen from the dead.

³⁰ And he charged them that they should tell no one concerning him.

⁹ And as they came down from the mountain, he charged them that they should relate what they had seen to no one, except when the Son of man shall have risen from the dead.

²¹ And strictly charging them, he commanded them to say this to no one;

³⁶ And when the voice had come, Jesus was found alone. And they kept silent, and told no one in those days any of the things which they had seen.

⁴¹ He first finds his brother Simon, and says to him: We have found the Messiah, which is interpreted, Christ.

⁴⁵ Philip finds Nathanael, and says to him: We have found him of whom Moses, in the law, and the prophets wrote, Jesus the son of Joseph, who is from Nazareth.

³⁶ Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God made him, this Jesus whom ye crucified, both Lord and Christ.

²² Who is the liar, but he that denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist, who denies the Father and the Son.

¹ EVERY one who believes that Jesus is the Christ has been begotten of God; and every one that loves him who begot, loves also him that has been begotten of him.

²⁸ Verily I say to you, there are some of those standing here, who shall not taste death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.

¹² But I say to you, that Elijah is already come, and they knew him not, but did with him whatever they would. So also is the Son of man about to suffer by them.

²² And while they abode in Galilee, Jesus said to them: The Son of man is about to be delivered into the hands of men ²³ and they will put him to death, and he will rise on the third day. And they were exceedingly sorrowful.

¹⁷ And Jesus, going up to Jerusalem, took the twelve disciples apart; and in the way he said to them: ¹⁸ Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man will be delivered to the chief priests and scribes, and they will condemn him to death, ¹⁹ and will deliver him to the Gentiles to mock and scourge and crucify; and on the third day he will rise again.

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.

² Ye know that after two days comes the passover, and the Son of man is delivered up to be crucified.

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.

¹² And when he was accused by the chief priests and the elders, he made no answer.

⁶³ saying: Sir, we remember that that deceiver said, while he was yet alive: After three days I will rise.

³¹ And he began to teach them, that the Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders, and the chief priests, and the scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again.

³¹ For he taught his disciples, and said to them: The Son of man is delivered up into the hands of men, and they will kill him and when he is killed, after three days he will rise again. ³² But they understood not the saying, and were afraid to ask him.

³² And they were in the way going up to Jerusalem. And Jesus was going before them; and they were amazed, and as they followed they were afraid. And again he took with him the twelve, and began to say to them what things should happen to him: ³³ Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man will be delivered up to the chief priests, and to the scribes; and they will condemn him to death and will deliver him up to the Gentiles; ³⁴ and they will mock him, and scourge him, and spit upon him, and will kill him; and after three days he will rise again.

²² saying: The Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected on the part of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and rise on the third day. ²³ And he said to all: If any one will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me. ²⁴ For whoever will save his life shall lose it; and whoever may lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it ²⁵ For what is a man profited, when he has gained the whole world, and lost or forfeited himself? ²⁶ For whoever is ashamed of me and of my words, of him will the Son of man be ashamed, when he shall come in his glory, and in that of the Father and of the holy angels. 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 who appeared in glory, and spoke of his departure, which he was about to fulfill in Jerusalem.

⁴⁴ Do ye let these words sink into your ears, for the Son of man will be delivered into the hands of men. ⁴⁵ But they understood not this saying, and it was hidden from them, that they perceived it not; and they feared to ask him concerning that saying.

²⁵ But first he must suffer many things, and be rejected on the part of this generation.

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. ³² For he will be delivered to the Gentiles, and will be mocked, and insulted, and spit upon, ³³ and they will scourge him, and put him to death; and on the third day he will rise again. ³⁴ And they understood none of these things; and this saying was hidden from them, and they knew not the things that were said.

⁶ He is not here, but is risen. Remember how he spoke to you when he was yet in Galilee, ⁷ saying: The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and on the third day rise again.

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;

¹⁹ Jesus answered and said to them: Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up. ²⁰ Therefore said the Jews: Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou raise it up in three days? ²¹ But he said it of the temple of his body.

²³ this man, delivered up according to the established counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye slew, crucifying him by the hand of lawless ones; ²⁴ whom God raised up, having loosed the pains of death; because it was not possible that he should be held by it. ²⁵ For David says concerning him: I saw the Lord always before me; Because he is on my right hand, that I should not be moved. ²⁶ For this my heart rejoiced, and my tongue exulted; Moreover also my flesh shall rest in hope; ²⁷ Because thou wilt not abandon my soul to the underworld, Nor wilt thou suffer thy Holy One to see corruption. ²⁸ Thou didst make known to me the ways of life; Thou wilt make me full of joy with thy presence. ²⁹ Men, brethren, I may speak freely to you of the patriarch David, that he both died and was buried, and his sepulchre is among us unto this day. 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.

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;

¹⁶ And Simon Peter answering said: Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. ¹⁷ And Jesus answering said to him: Happy art thou, Simon Bar-jonah; for flesh and blood did not reveal it to thee, but my Father who is in heaven.

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?

³² And he spoke that saying openly. And Peter, taking him aside, began to rebuke him.

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.

¹¹ And coming to us, he took off Paul's girdle, and bound his own hands and feet, and said: Thus says the Holy Spirit: So will the Jews at Jerusalem bind the man, whose this girdle is, and will deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles. ¹² And when we heard these things, both we, and they of that place, besought him not to go up to Jerusalem. 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.

¹⁰ Then Jesus says to him: Get thee hence, Satan; for it is written: Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.

⁷ Woe to the world, for causes of offense! For it must needs be that causes of offense come; but woe to that man, through whom the cause of offense comes!

³³ But he turning about, and seeing his disciples, rebuked Peter, saying: Get thee behind me, Satan; for thou thinkest not the things of God, but those of men.

⁸ And Jesus answering said to him: It is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.

⁷⁰ Jesus answered them: Did I not choose you, the twelve, and one of you is a devil?

⁵ For they that are according to the flesh mind the things of the flesh; but they that are according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit. ⁶ For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. ⁷ Because the carnal mind is enmity against God; for it does not submit itself to the law of God, neither indeed can it; ⁸ and they that are in the flesh can not please God.

¹³ Let us therefore no longer judge one another; but judge this rather, not to put a stumbling-block, or an occasion to fall, in a brother's way.

²¹ It is good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor anything whereby thy brother stumbles, or is made to offend, or is weak.

¹⁴ But the natural man receives not the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; and he can not know them, because they are spiritually judged. ¹⁵ But he that is spiritual judges all things; but he himself is judged by no one.

¹⁴ And no wonder; for Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light. ¹⁵ It is no great thing then, if also his ministers transform themselves as ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.

¹⁹ whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.

² Set your mind on the things above, not on the things upon the earth.

³⁸ And he that does not take his cross and follow after me, is not worthy of me.

³² And as they came out they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name; him they compelled to bear his cross.

³⁴ And calling to him the multitude, with his disciples, he said to them: Whoever desires to follow after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

²¹ And Jesus beholding him loved him, and said to him: One thing thou lackest; go, sell whatever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven; and come, take up the cross, and follow me.

²¹ And they compel one Simon, a Cyrenian, who was passing by, coming from the country, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to bear his cross.

²⁷ And whoever does not bear his cross, and come after me, can not be my disciple.

²⁶ And as they led him away, they laid hold of one Simon a Cyrenian, coming from the country, and on him they laid the cross, that he might bear it after Jesus.

¹⁷ And bearing his cross he went forth into the place called Place of a skull, which in Hebrew is called Golgotha;

²² confirming the souls of the disciples, exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that we must through much affliction enter into the kingdom of God.

²⁴ Now I rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up that which is behind of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for his body, which is the church;

³ that no one should be shaken by these afflictions, for yourselves know that unto this we are appointed.

¹² Yea, and all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution.

²⁴ By faith Moses, when grown up, refused to be called son of a daughter of Pharaoh; ²⁵ choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season; ²⁶ esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures of Egypt; for he looked for the reward.

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; ² that ye no longer may live the remaining time in the flesh by the lusts of men, but by the will of God.

³⁹ He that finds his life shall lose it; and he that loses his life for my sake shall find it.

³⁵ For whoever will save his life shall lose it; but whoever shall lose his life, for the sake of me and of the glad tidings, shall save it.

³³ Whoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it; and whoever may lose his life shall preserve it.

²⁵ He that loves his life shall lose it; and he that hates his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal.

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.

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.

⁸ Again the Devil takes him into an exceedingly high mountain, and shows him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them; ⁹ and says to him: All these things I will give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me.
