¹ And Saul was approving the killing of him. And on that day there developed a great persecution against the church at Jerusalem. And they were all scattered throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria, except the apostles. ² And devout men arranged to bury Stephen, and they made great lamentation over him. ³ But Saul was ravaging the church, entering from house to house. Dragging both men and women, he gave them over to prison. ⁴ Indeed therefore those who were scattered abroad passed through proclaiming the good news, the word. ⁵ And Philip, who went down to a city of Samaria, proclaimed the Christ to them. ⁶ And the multitudes unanimously heeded the things that were spoken by Philip during their listening and seeing the signs that he did. ⁷ For of many of those who had unclean spirits, they came out, crying in a great voice. And many who were paralyzed, and who were lame, were healed. ⁸ And there became great joy in that city. ⁹ But a certain man in the city, Simon by name, was formerly practicing sorcery, and fascinating the nation of Samaria, saying himself to be some great man, ¹⁰ to whom they gave heed, from small to great, saying, This man is the great power of God. ¹¹ And they heeded him, because he fascinated them for a considerable time with the sorceries. ¹² But when they believed Philip preaching good news, the things about the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, they were immersed, both men and women. ¹³ And Simon himself also believed. And after being immersed, he was continuing with Philip. And seeing miracles and signs occurring, he was astonished. ¹⁴ Now when the apostles at Jerusalem heard that Samaria has received the word of God, they sent Peter and John to them, ¹⁵ who, when they came down, prayed for them, so that they might receive the Holy Spirit, ¹⁶ for it was not yet fallen upon any of them. They were only immersed in the name of the Christ Jesus. ¹⁷ Then they laid hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit. ¹⁸ Now when Simon saw that the Holy Spirit was given through the laying on of the apostles' hands, he brought money to them, ¹⁹ saying, Give me also this power, so that on whomever I lay hands, he may receive the Holy Spirit. ²⁰ But Peter said to him, Thy silver with thee, may it be for destruction, because thou thought to obtain the gift of God by money. ²¹ There is no part nor lot for thee in this matter, for thy heart is not straight in the sight of God. ²² Repent therefore from this thine evil, and beg God, if perhaps the thought of thy heart will be forgiven thee. ²³ For I perceive that thou are in the gall of bitterness and the bond of unrighteousness. ²⁴ And having answered, Simon said, Beg ye to the Lord for me, so that none of which things ye have spoken may come upon me. ²⁵ Indeed therefore, having solemnly testified and spoken the word of the Lord, they returned to Jerusalem, and preached the good news in many villages of the Samaritans. ²⁶ And an agent of the Lord spoke to Philip, saying, Arise, and go toward the south to the road that goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza.

And he said, Do thou also really understand the things that thou read? ³¹ And he said, For how can I unless some man may guide me? And he encouraged Philip, after coming up, to sit with him. ³² Now the passage of the scripture that he was reading was this: He was led as a sheep to slaughter, and as a lamb, mute before shearing him, thus he opened not his mouth. ³³ In his lowly condition his justice was taken away. And who will describe his generation, because his life was taken from the earth? ³⁴ And having answered, the eunuch said to Philip, I ask thee, about whom does the prophet say this, about himself, or about some other man? ³⁵ And Philip having opened his mouth, and having begun from this scripture, he preached the good news to him-the man Jesus. ³⁶ And as they went on the way, they came to some water, and the eunuch says, Look, water! What prevents me to be immersed? ³⁷ [This verse in not in the majority of the Greek manuscripts.] ³⁸ And he commanded the chariot to stand still. And they both went down into the water, both Philip and the eunuch, and he immersed him. ³⁹ And when they came up out of the water, Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, and the eunuch saw him no more, for he went on his way rejoicing. ⁴⁰ But Philip was found at Azotus. And passing through all the cities he preached the good news until he came to Caesarea.

¹⁴ So that we may no longer be childish, tossed about and carried about by every wind of doctrine by the trickery of men in craftiness with the methodology of error.

² And many will follow their wantonness, because of whom the way of the truth will be blasphemed.

³ And one of its heads was as in death, having been killed. And its deadly wound was healed. And the whole earth marveled behind the beast.

¹⁹ And when they shall say to you, Seek for those who have familiar spirits and for the wizards, who chirp and who mutter, should not a people seek for their God? On behalf of the living seek to the dead?

²⁵ who frustrates the signs of the liars, and makes diviners mad, who turns wise men backward, and makes their knowledge foolish,

⁹ But these two things shall come to thee in a moment in one day: the loss of sons, and widowhood. In their full measure they shall come upon thee, in the multitude of thy sorceries, and the great abundance of thine enchantments. ¹⁰ For thou have trusted in thy wickedness. Thou have said, None sees me. Thy wisdom and thy knowledge, it has perverted thee. And thou have said in thy heart, I am, and there is none else besides me. ¹¹ Therefore evil shall come upon thee. Thou shall not know the dawning of it. And mischief shall fall upon thee. Thou shall not be able to put it away. And desolation shall come upon thee suddenly, which thou know not. ¹² Stand now with thine enchantments, and with the multitude of thy sorceries, in which thou have labored from thy youth, if so be thou shall be able to profit, if so be thou may prevail. ¹³ Thou are wearied in the multitude of thy counsels. Let now the astrologers, the star-gazers, the monthly prognosticators, stand up, and save thee from the things that shall come upon thee.

⁹ But a certain man in the city, Simon by name, was formerly practicing sorcery, and fascinating the nation of Samaria, saying himself to be some great man,

¹ O foolish Galatians, who bewitched you not to obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ was earlier described among you, crucified?

¹⁹ After going, make ye disciples of all the nations, immersing them into the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,

¹⁵ And he said to them, Having gone into all the world, preach ye the good news to the whole creation. ¹⁶ He who believes and is immersed will be saved, but he who does not believe will be damned.

² And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal those who were incapacitated.

⁶⁰ But Jesus said to him, Leave the dead to bury their own dead, but thou, after departing, proclaim the kingdom of God.

³ to whom he also presented himself living, after his suffering, by many infallible proofs, being seen by them during forty days, and speaking the things about the kingdom of God.

³⁸ And Peter said to them, Repent ye, and be immersed each of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

⁴¹ Indeed therefore those who received his word gladly, were immersed. And there were added in that day about three thousand souls.

¹⁴ And more who believe were added to the Lord, multitudes both of men and women,

³⁵ And Philip having opened his mouth, and having begun from this scripture, he preached the good news to him-the man Jesus. ³⁶ And as they went on the way, they came to some water, and the eunuch says, Look, water! What prevents me to be immersed? ³⁷ [This verse in not in the majority of the Greek manuscripts.] ³⁸ And he commanded the chariot to stand still. And they both went down into the water, both Philip and the eunuch, and he immersed him.

²⁰ And some of them were men, Cyprians and Cyrenians, who, having come to Antioch, spoke to the Hellenists, preaching good news, the Lord Jesus.

¹⁴ And a certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple of the city of Thyatira, a woman who worshiped God, was listening, whose heart the Lord opened to heed the things being spoken by Paul. ¹⁵ And when she was immersed, and her household, she urged us, saying, If ye have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, after coming into my house, remain. And she constrained us.

³¹ And they said, Believe in the Lord Jesus, and thou will be saved, thou and thy household. ³² And they spoke the word of the Lord to him, and to all those in his house. ³³ And having taken them in that hour of the night, he washed from the stripes, and was immersed, he and all those of him, immediately. ³⁴ And having brought them into his house, he set out a table, and rejoiced, having believed in God with all his house.

⁸ And Crispus, the synagogue ruler, believed in the Lord with his whole household, and many of the Corinthians who heard believed, and were immersed.

²¹ testifying both to Jews and to Greeks repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus.

²⁵ And now behold, I have seen that ye will no longer see my face, ye all among whom I passed through preaching the kingdom of God.

³¹ preaching the kingdom of God, and teaching the things about the Lord Jesus Christ with all boldness, without hindrance.

¹⁰ For a man believes in the heart for righteousness, and he confesses with the mouth for salvation.

¹¹ Nevertheless, neither is man independent of woman, nor woman independent of man, in the Lord.

²⁸ There is no Jew nor Greek, there is no bondman nor freeman, there is no male and female, for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.

²¹ Which counterpart-immersion-now also saves us, not the putting away of filth of flesh, but an appeal of a good conscience toward God, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ,

³⁵ And they remembered that God was their rock, and the Most High God their redeemer. ³⁶ But they flattered him with their mouth, and lied to him with their tongue. ³⁷ For their heart was not right with him, nor were they faithful in his covenant.

¹² Then they believed his words. They sang his praise. ¹³ They soon forgot his works. They did not wait for his counsel,

⁵ Behold ye scoffers, and look, and wonder marvelously. For I am working a work in your days, which ye will not believe though it be told you.

¹⁷ And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will cast out demons. They will speak in new tongues.

¹³ And those on the rock are those who, when they hear, receive the word with joy. And these have no root, who believe for a time, and withdraw in time of trial.

²³ Now when he was in Jerusalem at the Passover during the feast, many believed in his name seeing his signs that he did. ²⁴ But Jesus did not trust himself to them, because he knew all men, ²⁵ and because he had no need that any man should testify about man, for he himself knew what was in man.

²⁰ For the Father loves the Son, and shows him all things that he himself does. And he will show him works greater than these, so that ye may marvel.

²¹ Jesus answered and said to them, I did one work, and ye all marvel because of this.

³⁰ As he spoke these things of him, many believed in him. ³¹ Jesus therefore said to those Jews who believed him, If ye remain in my word, ye are truly my disciples,

¹⁰ and they recognized him, that this was the man who sat for charity at the Beautiful Gate of the temple. And they were filled of astonishment and amazement at that which happened to him.

⁶ And the multitudes unanimously heeded the things that were spoken by Philip during their listening and seeing the signs that he did. ⁷ For of many of those who had unclean spirits, they came out, crying in a great voice. And many who were paralyzed, and who were lame, were healed.

²¹ There is no part nor lot for thee in this matter, for thy heart is not straight in the sight of God.

¹¹ And God was doing extraordinary miracles by the hands of Paul,

¹⁹ Thou believe that there is one God, thou do well. The demons also believe, and shudder. ²⁰ But do thou want to know, O vain man, that faith apart from works is dead? ²¹ Was not Abraham our father made righteous from works, having offered up Isaac his son upon the altar? ²² Thou see that faith was working with his works, and from the works, faith was fully perfected. ²³ And the scripture was fulfilled, which says, And Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him for righteousness, and he was called a friend of God. ²⁴ Ye see therefore that from works a man is made righteous, and not from faith only. ²⁵ And likewise also was not Rahab the harlot made righteous from works, having received the agents, and having sent them out another way? ²⁶ For as the body without a spirit is dead, so also faith without the works is dead.

²³ But that which was sown upon the good ground, this is he who hears the word, and understands it, who indeed bears fruit, and is productive, some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.

⁸ And he sent Peter and John, saying, After departing, prepare the Passover for us, that we may eat.

⁴⁸ He who rejects me and does not receive my sayings, has that which judges him: the word that I spoke, that will judge him in the last day.

¹ Now at the same time Peter and John were going up into the temple, at the hour of prayer, the ninth. ² And a certain man, being lame from his mother's belly, was carried, whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple, called Beautiful, to ask charity from those who entered into the temple, ³ who, having seen Peter and John intending to go into the temple, asked charity.

¹ Now the apostles and the brothers who were in Judea heard that the Gentiles also received the word of God.

⁴ And after arriving in Jerusalem, they were received by the church and the apostles and the elders. And they reported as many things as God did with them.

¹¹ But these were more noble than those in Thessalonica, who received the word with all willingness, examining the scriptures daily, if it has these things this way.

⁹ and James and Cephas and John, those who were reputed to be pillars, when they understood the grace that was given to me, they gave to me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship. So that we were for the Gentiles, and they for men of circumcision,

¹³ And because of this we thank God without ceasing, because, having received the word of God heard from us, ye received not the word of men, but as it truly is, the word of God, which also is at work in you who believe.

² And we sent Timothy, our brother, and a helper of God, and our fellow workman in the good news of the Christ, in order to establish you and to encourage you about your faith,

¹⁰ and in all deception of unrighteousness in those who are perishing, in return for which, they did not accept the love of the truth in order for them to be saved.

¹⁹ Again I say to you truly, that if two of you should agree on the earth concerning every matter, whatever they might ask, it will happen for them from my Father in the heavens.

¹³ And anything whatever ye may ask in my name, this I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. ¹⁴ If ye will ask me anything in my name, I will do it.

²³ And in that day ye will ask me nothing. Truly, truly, I say to you, that as many things as ye may ask the Father in my name, he will give you. ²⁴ Until now ye have asked nothing in my name. Ask, and ye will receive, so that your joy may be made full.

¹⁹ For I know that this will turn out to me for salvation (through your entreaty, and the support of the Spirit of Jesus Christ)

⁴⁴ While Peter still spoke these sayings, the Holy Spirit fell on all those who heard the word. ⁴⁵ And the faithful men of circumcision were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because also on the Gentiles the gift of the Holy Spirit was poured out. ⁴⁶ For they heard them speaking in tongues and magnifying God. Then Peter answered, ⁴⁷ Can any man forbid the water for these not to be immersed, who have received the Holy Spirit as we also? ⁴⁸ And he commanded them to be immersed in the name of the Lord. Then they asked him to remain some days.

¹⁵ And as I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell on them, just as also on us at the beginning. ¹⁶ And I remembered the saying of the Lord, how he said, John indeed immersed in water, but ye will be immersed in the Holy Spirit. ¹⁷ If then God gave to them the identical gift as also to us who believed in the Lord Jesus Christ, but what power was I to hinder God?

² he said to them, Did ye receive the Holy Spirit when ye believed? And they said to him, But we have not even heard if there is a Holy Spirit.

⁵ And when they heard this, they were immersed in the name of the Lord Jesus. ⁶ And Paul having laid hands on them, the Holy Spirit came on them, and they spoke in tongues, and prophesied.

¹³ Has Christ been divided? Was Paul crucified for you, or were ye immersed in the name of Paul? ¹⁴ I thank God that I immersed none of you except Crispus and Gaius, ¹⁵ lest some man should say that I immersed in my name.

²⁷ For as many as were immersed into Christ have put on Christ.

¹⁰ and thou shall present the Levites before LORD. And the sons of Israel shall lay their hands upon the Levites.

¹⁸ And LORD said to Moses, Take thee Joshua the son of Nun, a man in whom is the Spirit, and lay thy hand upon him,

⁴ And they were all filled of the Holy Spirit, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them to declare.

⁶ men whom they placed before the apostles. And having prayed, they laid hands upon them.

¹⁸ Now when Simon saw that the Holy Spirit was given through the laying on of the apostles' hands, he brought money to them,

¹⁷ And Ananias departed and entered into the house. And having laid hands on him he said, Brother Saul, the Lord, he who appeared to thee on the road on which thou came, has sent me so that thou may receive sight, and be filled of the Holy Spirit.

³ Then, having fasted and prayed and laid hands on them, they sent them away.

⁶ And Paul having laid hands on them, the Holy Spirit came on them, and they spoke in tongues, and prophesied.

¹¹ For I long to see you, so that I may impart some spiritual gift to you, in order to establish you,

² I only want to learn this from you. Did ye receive the Spirit from works of law, or from a listening ear of faith? ³ Are ye so foolish, having begun in Spirit, are ye now made perfect by flesh? ⁴ Did ye suffer so many things in vain? If it is indeed in vain. ⁵ He therefore who supplies the Spirit to you and who works miracles among you, is it from works of law or from a listening ear of faith?

¹⁴ Do not neglect the gift in thee, which was given thee by prophecy with the laying on of the hands of the eldership.

²² Lay hands hastily on no man, nor contribute to other sins. Keep thyself pure.

⁶ Because of which reason I remind thee to rekindle the gift of God that is in thee through the laying on of my hands.

² of doctrine of washings, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment.

¹⁵ And he returned to the man of God, he and all his company, and came, and stood before him. And he said, Behold, now I know that there is no God in all the earth, but in Israel. Now therefore, I pray thee, take a present from thy servant. ¹⁶ But he said, As LORD lives, before whom I stand, I will receive none. And he urged him to take it, but he refused.

⁹ So Hazael went to meet him, and took a present with him, even of every good thing of Damascus, forty camels' burden, and came and stood before him, and said, Thy son Benhadad king of Syria has sent me to thee, saying, Shall I recover of this sickness?

¹⁹ And ye have profaned me among my people for handfuls of barley and for pieces of bread, to kill the souls who should not die, and to save the souls alive who should not live, by your lying to my people who listen to lies.

⁸ Heal those who are feeble, cleanse the lepers, cast out demons. Freely ye received, freely give.

⁵ constant frictions of men corrupted in mind, and destitute of the truth, supposing piety to be a means of gain. Withdraw from such.

¹ In that hour the disciples came to Jesus, saying, Who then is greater in the kingdom of the heavens? ² And having called in a child, Jesus set it in the midst of them. ³ And he said, Truly I say to you, if ye are not turned, and become as children, ye will, no, not enter into the kingdom of the heavens.

⁷ And he spoke a parable to those who were invited when he noticed how they chose out the chief places, saying to them, ⁸ When thou are invited by any man to wedding festivities, do not sit down in the chief place, lest there may be a more honorable man than thou who was invited by him. ⁹ And he who invited thee and him, having come, will say to thee, Give place to this man, and then thou will begin with embarrassment to take the last place. ¹⁰ But when thou are invited, having gone, sit down in the last place, so that when he who has invited thee comes, he will say to thee, Friend, go up higher, then it will be esteem to thee in the presence of those dining with thee. ¹¹ Because every man who lifts himself up will be made lower, and he who makes himself lower will be lifted up.

⁴⁴ How can ye believe, who receive glory from each other, and seek not the glory from the only God?

⁹ But a certain man in the city, Simon by name, was formerly practicing sorcery, and fascinating the nation of Samaria, saying himself to be some great man, ¹⁰ to whom they gave heed, from small to great, saying, This man is the great power of God. ¹¹ And they heeded him, because he fascinated them for a considerable time with the sorceries.

¹⁷ Then they laid hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit.

⁸ and last of all, as to the untimely birth, he also appeared to me. ⁹ For I am the least of the apostles, who am not worthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.

⁹ I wrote to the congregation, but Diotrephes, who loves to be first of them, did not accept us.

²⁶ And thou shall not bring an abomination into thy house, and become a devoted thing like it. Thou shall utterly detest it, and thou shall utterly abhor it, for it is a cursed thing.

⁹ Beware that there not be a base thought in thy heart, saying, The seventh year, the year of release, is at hand, and thine eye be evil against thy poor brother, and thou give him nothing, and he cry to LORD against thee, and it be sin to thee.

²⁴ And Joshua, and all Israel with him, took Achan the son of Zerah, and the silver, and the mantle, and the wedge of gold, and his sons, and his daughters, and his oxen, and his donkeys, and his sheep, and his tent, and all that he had, and they brought them up to the valley of Achor. ²⁵ And Joshua said, Why have thou troubled us? LORD shall trouble thee this day. And all Israel stoned him with stones, and they burned them with fire, and stoned them with stones.

²⁶ And he said to him, Did not my heart go with thee when the man turned from his chariot to meet thee? Is it a time to receive money, and to receive garments, and oliveyards and vineyards, and sheep and oxen, and men-servants and maid-servants? ²⁷ The leprosy therefore of Naaman shall cling to thee, and to thy seed forever. And he went out from his presence a leper as white as snow.

²⁶ Evil devices are an abomination to LORD, but pleasant words are pure.

¹ Ho, everyone who thirsts, come ye to the waters. And he who has no money, come ye, buy, and eat. Yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price.

¹⁷ Then Daniel answered and said before the king, Let thy gifts be to thyself, and give thy rewards to another. Nevertheless I will read the writing to the king, and make known to him the interpretation.

⁹ Woe to him who gets an evil gain for his house, that he may set his nest on high, that he may be delivered from the hand of evil! ¹⁰ Thou have devised shame to thy house, by cutting off many peoples, and have sinned against thy soul.

⁴ I will cause it to go forth, says LORD of hosts, and it shall enter into the house of the thief, and into the house of him who swears falsely by my name. And it shall abide in the midst of his house, and shall consume it, with the timber thereof and the stones thereof.

¹⁹ For from the heart comes forth evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witnessings, revilings.

³ Then Judas, who betrayed him, after seeing that he was condemned, having repented, he brought back the thirty silver pieces to the chief priests and elders, ⁴ saying, I sinned, having betrayed innocent blood. But they said, What is it to us? See thou to it. ⁵ And having cast down the silver pieces in the temple, he departed, and after going away, he hanged himself.

¹⁸ (Indeed therefore this man obtained a field from the reward of his unrighteousness, and having become headlong, he burst open in the middle and all his bowels gushed out.

²² Repent therefore from this thine evil, and beg God, if perhaps the thought of thy heart will be forgiven thee.

⁴⁵ And the faithful men of circumcision were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because also on the Gentiles the gift of the Holy Spirit was poured out.

¹⁷ If then God gave to them the identical gift as also to us who believed in the Lord Jesus Christ, but what power was I to hinder God?

⁹ But those who want to be rich fall into a temptation and a snare and many foolish and harmful lusts, which sink men in destruction and ruin.

³ Your gold and your silver have cankered, and their corrosion will be testimony against you, and will eat your flesh like fire. Ye have hoarded in the last days.

¹⁴ having eyes full of adultery, and unceasing sin, enticing unstable souls, having a heart trained in greed, children of a curse, ¹⁵ having forsaken a straight path, they were led astray, men who followed the way of Balaam, son of Beor, who loved the wage of unrighteousness. ¹⁶ But he had a rebuke of his own lawbreaking. A mute donkey, uttering in a man's voice, restrained the madness of the prophet. ¹⁷ These men are waterless wells, and clouds driven by a fierce wind, for whom the gloom of darkness has been reserved into an age.

¹⁵ The merchants of these things who became rich from her will stand from afar because of the fear of her torment, weeping and mourning,

²⁵ For LORD has made the Jordan a border between us and you, ye sons of Reuben and sons of Gad. Ye have no portion in LORD. So your sons might make our sons cease from fearing LORD.

² And he did that which was right in the eyes of LORD, but not with a perfect heart.

¹ The transgression of the wicked man says within my heart, There is no fear of God before his eyes.

³ Son of man, these men have taken their idols into their heart, and put the stumbling block of their iniquity before their face. Should I be inquired of at all by them?

⁴ Behold, his soul is puffed up; it is not upright in him. (But the righteous man shall live by his faith.

²² The light of the body is the eye. If therefore thine eye is sound, thy whole body will be bright. ²³ But if thine eye is bad, thy whole body will be dark. If therefore the light that is in thee is darkness, how great is the darkness! ²⁴ No man can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one, and love the other, or he will hold to one, and disparage the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.

¹⁷ He says to him the third time, Simon, son of Jonah, do thou love me? Peter was grieved because he said to him the third time, Do thou love me? And he said to him, Lord, thou know all things. Thou know that I love thee. Jesus says to him, Feed my sheep.

¹³ And there is no creature concealed from his presence, but all things are naked and vulnerable to his eyes, before whom is the word to us.

²³ And I will kill her children in death. And all the congregations will know that I am he who searches the inner feelings and hearts. And I will give to you-to each-according to your works.

⁶ Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection. On these the second death has no power, but they will be priests of God and of the Christ, and will reign with him a thousand years.

¹⁹ And if any man takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away his part from the tree of life, and from the holy city, the things written in this book.

²⁹ But from there ye shall seek LORD thy God. And thou shall find him when thou search after him with all thy heart and with all thy soul. ³⁰ When thou are in tribulation, and all these things have come upon thee, in the latter days thou shall return to LORD thy God, and hearken to his voice.

⁴⁷ yet if they shall rethink themselves in the land where they are carried captive, and turn again, and make supplication to thee in the land of those who carried them captive, saying, We have sinned, and have done perversely, we have dealt wickedly, ⁴⁸ if they return to thee with all their heart and with all their soul in the land of their enemies who carried them captive, and pray to thee toward their land, which thou gave to their fathers, the city which thou have chosen, and the house which I have built for thy name,

¹² And when he was in distress, he besought LORD his God, and humbled himself greatly before the God of his fathers. ¹³ And he prayed to him. And he was entreated of him, and heard his supplication, and brought him again to Jerusalem into his kingdom. Then Manasseh knew that LORD he was God.

⁶ Seek ye LORD while he may be found. Call ye upon him while he is near. ⁷ Let the wicked man forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts. And let him return to LORD, and he will have mercy upon him, and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.

²⁷ Therefore, O king, let my counsel be acceptable to thee, and break off thy sins by righteousness, and thine iniquities by showing mercy to the poor, if there may be a lengthening of thy tranquility.

¹³ And rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn to LORD your God, for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness, and relents of the evil. ¹⁴ Who knows whether he will not turn and relent, and leave a blessing behind him, even a meal offering and a drink offering to LORD your God?

⁶ Seek LORD, and ye shall live, lest he break out like fire in the house of Joseph, and it devour, and there be none to quench it in Bethel.

¹⁵ Hate the evil, and love the good, and establish justice in the gate. It may be that LORD, the God of hosts, will be gracious to the remnant of Joseph.

⁶ So the shipmaster came to him, and said to him, What do thou mean, O sleeper? Arise, call upon thy God, if so be that God will think upon us, that we not perish.

⁹ Who knows whether God will not turn and relent, and turn away from his fierce anger, that we not perish?

⁷ Ask, and it will be given you. Seek, and ye will find. Knock, and it will be opened to you. ⁸ For every man who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened.

⁹ And I say to you, ask, and it will be given you. Seek, and ye will find. Knock, and it will be opened. ¹⁰ For every man who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened. ¹¹ And which father of you, if the son will ask a loaf, will give him a stone, or also if a fish, in place of a fish will give him a serpent? ¹² Or if he should ask for an egg, will he give him a scorpion? ¹³ If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more the Father from heaven will give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him?

¹⁹ Repent ye therefore, and be converted in order to wipe away your sins, so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord.

²⁰ But Peter said to him, Thy silver with thee, may it be for destruction, because thou thought to obtain the gift of God by money.

¹¹ And the Lord said to him, After rising, go into the street called Straight, and seek in the house of Judas, a man named Saul of Tarsus, for behold, he is praying.

³⁰ Indeed therefore having overlooked the times of ignorance, God now commands for all men everywhere to repent.

⁴ Or do thou despise the wealth of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering, not knowing that the goodness of God guides thee to repentance?

²⁵ in meekness correcting those who oppose. Perhaps God may grant them repentance for recognition of the truth, ²⁶ and they may sober up out of the snare of the devil, having been captured by him for his will.

¹² For the word of God is living, and potent, and sharper, above every two-edged sword, and piercing as far as the division both of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and discernible of the thoughts and intentions of the heart.

²¹ And I gave her time so that she would repent, and she did not want to repent of her fornication.

¹⁷ Because thou say, I am rich, and have become wealthy, and have need of nothing, and do not know that thou are wretched and miserable and poor and blind and naked. ¹⁸ I counsel thee to buy from me gold refined from fire, so that thou may become wealthy, and white garments, so that thou may clothe thyself, and the shame of thy nakedness may not be made known, and eye-salve, so that thou may anoint thine eyes, so that thou may see.

¹⁸ Lest there should be among you man, or woman, or family, or tribe, whose heart turns away this day from LORD our God, to go to serve the gods of those nations. Lest there should be among you a root that bears gall and wormwood, ¹⁹ and it comes to pass, when he hears the words of this curse, that he blesses himself in his heart, saying, I shall have peace, though I walk in the stubbornness of my heart, to destroy the moist with the dry. ²⁰ LORD will not pardon him, but then the anger of LORD and his jealousy will smoke against that man, and all the curse that is written in this book shall lie upon him, and LORD will blot out his name from under heaven.

³² For their vine is of the vine of Sodom, and of the fields of Gomorrah. Their grapes are grapes of gall, their clusters are bitter. ³³ Their wine is the poison of serpents, and the cruel venom of asps.

¹⁴ yet his food in his bowels is turned. It is the gall of asps within him.

¹⁶ O LORD, truly I am thy servant. I am thy servant, the son of thy handmaid. Thou have loosed my bonds.

²² His own iniquities shall take a wicked man, and he shall be held with the cords of his sin.

²² Now therefore be ye not scoffers, lest your bonds be made strong. For I have heard a decree of destruction from the Lord, LORD of hosts, upon the whole earth.

⁶ Is not this the fast that I have chosen: to loose the bonds of wickedness, to undo the bands of the yoke, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke?

¹⁸ Thy way and thy doings have procured these things to thee. This is thy wickedness, for it is bitter, for it reaches to thy heart.

¹⁵ Therefore thus says LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I will feed them, even this people, with wormwood, and give them water of gall to drink.

⁵ He has built against me, and encompassed me with gall and travail.

¹⁹ Remember my affliction and my misery, the wormwood and the gall.

³⁴ Jesus answered them, Truly, truly, I say to you, that every man who does the sin is a bondman of the sin.

¹⁷ But thanks to God, that ye were bondmen of sin, but ye obeyed from the heart a model of doctrine for which ye were delivered. ¹⁸ And having been set free from sin, ye were made servile to righteousness ¹⁹ (I speak man-like because of the weakness of your flesh). For as ye presented your body-parts servile to uncleanness, and to lawlessness for lawlessness, so now present your body-parts servile to righteousness for sanctification. ²⁰ For when ye were bondmen of sin, ye were uninhibited by righteousness. ²¹ What fruit therefore did ye have then, of which things ye are now ashamed? For the end of those things is death. ²² But now having been made free from sin, and having become servile to God, ye have your fruit for sanctification, and the end, eternal life.

³ For we also were formerly foolish, disobedient, being led astray, serving various lusts and pleasures, living in evil and envy, hateful, hating each other.

¹⁵ Looking carefully lest any man fall short, away from the grace of God, lest any root of bitterness sprouting up would cause trouble, and by this many may be defiled,

⁴ For if God did not spare agents who sinned, but delivered them up to chains of darkness, having been cast into hell being reserved for judgment,

¹⁹ promising them freedom, while they themselves are bondmen of corruption, for by what any man has been overcome, of this he has also been enslaved.

⁷ Now therefore restore the man's wife. For he is a prophet, and he shall pray for thee, and thou shall live. And if thou do not restore her, know thou that thou shall surely die, thou, and all that are thine.

¹⁷ And Abraham prayed to God, and God healed Abimelech, and his wife, and his maid-servants. And they bore sons.

⁸ Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron, and said, Entreat LORD, that he take away the frogs from me, and from my people, and I will let the people go, that they may sacrifice to LORD.

¹⁷ Now therefore forgive, I pray thee, my sin only this once, and entreat LORD your God, that he may only take away from me this death.

³² Take both your flocks and your herds, as ye have said, and be gone, and bless me also.

⁷ And the people came to Moses, and said, We have sinned, because we have spoken against LORD, and against thee. Pray to LORD, that he take away the serpents from us. And Moses prayed for the people.

¹⁹ And all the people said to Samuel, Pray for thy servants to LORD thy God that we not die, for we have added to all our sins this evil, to ask a king for us.

²³ Moreover as for me, far be it from me that I should sin against LORD in ceasing to pray for you. But I will instruct you in the good and the right way.

⁶ And the king answered and said to the man of God, Entreat now the favor of LORD thy God, and pray for me that my hand may be restored to me again. And the man of God entreated LORD, and the king's hand was restored to him again, and became as it was before.

¹⁰ that they may offer sacrifices of sweet savor to the God of heaven, and pray for the life of the king, and of his sons.

²³ So we fasted and besought our God for this, and he was entreated by us.

⁸ Now therefore, take to you seven bullocks and seven rams. And go to my servant Job, and offer up for yourselves a burnt offering. And my servant Job shall pray for you, for him I will accept, that I not deal with you after your folly. For ye have not spoken of me the thing that is right, as my servant Job has.

¹⁶ Confess ye the trespasses to each other, and pray for each other so that ye may be healed. A working supplication of a righteous man is very powerful.

⁵² And he sent agents before his face, and they went. And having gone, they entered into a village of Samaritans, so as to make ready for him. ⁵³ And they did not receive him, because his face was going to Jerusalem. ⁵⁴ And his disciples James and John having seen, they said, Lord, do thou want that we should call fire to come down from the sky, and consume them, as also Elijah did? ⁵⁵ But having turned around, he rebuked them, and said, Ye do not know what kind of spirit ye are. ⁵⁶ For the Son of man came not to destroy the lives of men, but to save. And they went to another village.

²⁷ And ye also testify, because ye have been with me from the beginning.

⁵ And when both Silas and Timothy came down from Macedonia, Paul was being held by the Spirit, fully testifying to the Jews, Jesus the Christ.

²² Having therefore experienced the help from God, I stand to this day solemnly declaring both to small and great, saying nothing apart from what both the prophets and Moses said was going to happen, ²³ that the suffering Christ, since first from a resurrection of the dead, is going to proclaim light to our people and to the nations.

²³ And having appointed a day for him, more came to him into his lodging, to whom he expounded, solemnly testifying the kingdom of God, and persuading them of the things about Jesus, both from the law of Moses and the prophets, from morning until evening.

²⁸ Be it known to you therefore, that the salvation of God was sent to the Gentiles, and they will hear.

¹² By Silvanus, the faithful brother to you, as I reckon, I wrote because of a few things, exhorting and testifying this to be the true grace of God in which ye stand.

³ from the Shihor, which is before Egypt, even to the border of Ekron northward, which is reckoned to the Canaanites; the five lords of the Philistines; the Gazites, and the Ashdodites, the Ashkelonites, the Gittites, and the Ekronites; also the Avvim

⁴⁷ Ashdod, its towns and its villages, Gaza, its towns and its villages, to the brook of Egypt, and the great sea, and the border of it.

³ But the agent of LORD said to Elijah the Tishbite, Arise, go up to meet the messengers of the king of Samaria, and say to them, Is it because there is no God in Israel that ye go to inquire of Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron?

¹⁶ Of the gold, the silver, and the brass, and the iron, there is no number. Arise and be doing, and LORD be with thee.

¹ Arise, shine, for thy light has come, and the glory of LORD has risen upon thee. ² For, behold, darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the peoples. But LORD will arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee. ³ And nations shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising. ⁴ Lift up thine eyes round about, and see. They all gather themselves together. They come to thee. Thy sons shall come from far, and thy daughters shall be carried in the arms. ⁵ Then thou shall see and be radiant, and thy heart shall thrill and be enlarged, because the abundance of the sea shall be turned to thee. The wealth of the nations shall come to thee. ⁶ The multitude of camels shall cover thee. The dromedaries of Midian and Ephah, all those from Sheba shall come. They shall bring gold and frankincense, and shall proclaim the praises of LORD. ⁷ All the flocks of Kedar shall be gathered together to thee. The rams of Nebaioth shall minister to thee. They shall come up with acceptance on my altar, and I will glorify the house of my glory. ⁸ Who are these that fly as a cloud, and as the doves to their windows? ⁹ Surely the isles shall wait for me, and the ships of Tarshish first, to bring thy sons from far, their silver and their gold with them, for the name of LORD thy God, and for the Holy One of Israel, because he has glorified thee. ¹⁰ And foreigners shall build up thy walls, and their kings shall minister to thee. For in my wrath I smote thee, but in my favor I have had mercy on thee. ¹¹ Thy gates also shall be open continually. They shall not be shut day nor night, that men may bring to thee the wealth of the nations, and their kings led captive. ¹² For that nation and kingdom that will not serve thee shall perish. Yea, those nations shall be utterly wasted. ¹³ The glory of Lebanon shall come to thee, the fir tree, the pine, and the box tree together, to beautify the place of my sanctuary. And I will make the place of my feet glorious. ¹⁴ And the sons of those who afflicted thee shall come bending to thee. And all those who despised thee shall bow themselves down at the soles of thy feet. And they shall call thee The city of LORD, The Zion of the Holy One of Israel. ¹⁵ Whereas thou have been forsaken and hated, so that no man passed through thee, I will make thee an eternal excellency, a joy of many generations. ¹⁶ Thou shall also suck the milk of the nations, and shall suck the breast of kings. And thou shall know that I, LORD, am thy Savior, and thy Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob. ¹⁷ For brass I will bring gold, and for iron I will bring silver, and for wood brass, and for stones iron. I will also make thy officers peace, and thine overseers righteousness. ¹⁸ Violence shall no more be heard in thy land, desolation nor destruction within thy borders, but thou shall call thy walls Salvation, and thy gates Praise. ¹⁹ The sun shall no more be thy light by day, nor for brightness shall the moon give light to thee, but LORD will be to thee an everlasting light, and thy God thy glory. ²⁰ Thy sun shall no more go down, nor shall thy moon withdraw itself, for LORD will be thine everlasting light. And the days of thy mourning shall be ended. ²¹ Thy people also shall all be righteous. They shall inherit the land forever, the branch of my planting, the work of my hands, that I may be glorified. ²² The little one shall become a thousand, and the small one a strong nation. I, LORD, will hasten it in its time.

⁵ Ashkelon shall see it, and fear, Gaza also, and shall be greatly pained, and Ekron, for her expectation shall be put to shame. And the king shall perish from Gaza, and Ashkelon shall not be inhabited.

¹ And in those days John the immerser comes, preaching in the wilderness of Judea, and saying, ² Repent ye, for the kingdom of the heavens has approached. ³ For this is he who was spoken of by Isaiah the prophet, saying, The voice of a man crying in the wilderness: Prepare ye the way of the Lord. Make his paths straight.

² in the high priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came to be in John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness. ³ And he came into all the region around the Jordan, preaching an immersion of repentance for remission of sins, ⁴ as it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet, which says, The voice of a man crying out in the wilderness: Prepare ye the way of the Lord. Make his paths straight.

¹⁹ But an agent of the Lord opened the prison doors by night, and after leading them out, he said,

⁷ And when the agent speaking to Cornelius departed, having called two of his housemen, and a devout soldier of those who personally served him,

²² And they said, Cornelius, a centurion, a righteous man, and fearing God, and being well testified by the whole nation of the Jews, was divinely warned by a holy agent to summon thee to his house, and to hear sayings from thee.

⁸ And the agent said to him, Gird thyself, and tie on thy sandals. And he did so. And he says to him, Throw on thy garment, and follow me. ⁹ And after going out, he followed him. And he had not seen that the thing happening by the agent was true, but presumed to see a vision. ¹⁰ And when they passed a first and a second watch, they came to the iron gate, the one leading to the city, which opened spontaneously to them. And after going out, they advanced one street. And straightaway the agent withdrew from him. ¹¹ And when Peter came to himself, he said, Now I know truly, that the Lord dispatched his agent and delivered me out of the hand of Herod and all the expectation of the people of the Jews.

²³ And immediately an agent of the Lord struck him, because he did not give glory to God. And after becoming worm-eaten, he expired.

²³ For there stood by me this night an agent of the God whose I am, whom also I serve,

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

⁴¹ Moreover concerning the foreigner who is not of thy people Israel, when he shall come out of a far country for thy name's sake ⁴² (for they shall hear of thy great name, and of thy mighty hand, and of thine outstretched arm), when he shall come and pray toward this house, ⁴³ hear thou in heaven thy dwelling-place, and do according to all that the foreigner calls to thee for, that all the peoples of the earth may know thy name, to fear thee, as does thy people Israel, and that they may know that this house which I have built is called by thy name.

¹ And when the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon concerning the name of LORD, she came to prove him with hard questions.

³² Moreover concerning the foreigner, who is not of thy people Israel, when he shall come from a far country for thy great name's sake, and thy mighty hand, and thine outstretched arm, when they shall come and pray toward this house, ³³ then hear thou from heaven, even from thy dwelling-place, and do according to all that the foreigner calls to thee for, that all the peoples of the earth may know thy name, and fear thee, as do thy people Israel, and that they may know that this house which I have built is called by thy name.

²⁹ Because of thy temple at Jerusalem kings shall bring presents to thee.

³¹ Rulers shall come out of Egypt. Ethiopia shall hasten to stretch out her hands to God.

⁴ I will make mention of Rahab and Babylon as among those who know me. Behold, Philistia, and Tyre, with Ethiopia: This man was born there.

⁶ I will say to the north, Give up, and to the south, Keep not back. Bring my sons from far, and my daughters from the end of the earth,

¹⁴ Thus says LORD: The labor of Egypt, and the merchandise of Ethiopia, and the Sabeans, men of stature, shall come over to thee, and they shall be thine. They shall go after thee. In chains they shall come over, and they shall fall down to thee. They shall make supplication to thee, saying, Surely God is in thee, and there is none else, no God.

³ Neither let the foreigner, who has joined himself to LORD, speak, saying, LORD will surely separate me from his people, nor let the eunuch say, Behold, I am a dry tree. ⁴ For thus says LORD of the eunuchs who keep my sabbaths, and choose the things that please me, and hold fast my covenant: ⁵ To them I will give in my house and within my walls a memorial and a name better than of sons and of daughters. I will give them an everlasting name, that shall not be cut off. ⁶ Also the foreigners who join themselves to LORD, to minister to him, and to love the name of LORD, to be his servants, everyone who keeps the sabbath from profaning it, and holds fast my covenant, ⁷ even them I will bring to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer. Their burnt offerings and their sacrifices shall be accepted upon my altar, for my house shall be called a house of prayer for all peoples. ⁸ The lord LORD, who gathers the outcasts of Israel, says, Yet I will gather to him, besides his own who are gathered.

³ And nations shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising.

⁶ The multitude of camels shall cover thee. The dromedaries of Midian and Ephah, all those from Sheba shall come. They shall bring gold and frankincense, and shall proclaim the praises of LORD.

¹⁹ And I will set a sign among them, and I will send such as escape of them to the nations, to Tarshish, Pul, and Lud, that draw the bow, to Tubal and Javan, to the isles afar off, who have not heard my fame, nor have seen my glory, and they shall declare my glory among the nations.

²³ Can the Ethiopian change his skin, or the leopard his spots? Then ye also may do good, who are accustomed to do evil.

⁷ Now when Ebed-melech the Ethiopian, a eunuch, who was in the king's house, heard that they had put Jeremiah in the dungeon (the king then sitting in the gate of Benjamin),

¹⁶ Go, and speak to Ebed-melech the Ethiopian, saying, Thus says LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I will bring my words upon this city for evil, and not for good, and they shall be accomplished before thee in that day.

¹⁰ From beyond the rivers of Ethiopia, my suppliants, even the daughter of my dispersed, shall bring my offering.

⁴² The queen of the south will rise up in the judgment with this generation, and will condemn it, because she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and behold, a greater than Solomon is here.

² saying to them, Go into the village opposite you, and straightaway ye will find a donkey tied, and a colt with it. Having loosed them, bring to me. ³ And if any man says anything to you, ye will say, The Lord has need of them, and straightaway he will send them. ⁴ Now all this came to pass, so that what was spoken through the prophet might be fulfilled, which says, ⁵ Say ye to the daughter of Zion, Behold, thy King comes to thee, meek, and mounted upon a donkey, and a colt the foal of a pack animal. ⁶ And the disciples having gone, and having done as Jesus commanded them,

¹³ And he sends forth two of his disciples, and says to them, Go into the city, and a man carrying a pitcher of water will meet you. Follow him. ¹⁴ And wherever he may enter, say ye to the house-ruler, The teacher says, Where is the guest room, where I may eat the Passover with my disciples? ¹⁵ And he himself will show you a large upper room spread out ready. Prepare ye for us there. ¹⁶ And his disciples went forth, and came into the city, and found just as he had said to them. And they prepared the Passover.

⁵ His mother says to the helpers, Whatever he may say to you, do. ⁶ Now there were six stone water pots laying there in accordance with the purification of the Jews, containing two or three measures each. ⁷ Jesus says to them, Fill the water pots with water. And they filled them until over. ⁸ And he says to them, Draw out now, and carry to the feast-ruler. And they carried.

²⁰ Now some Greeks were from those who came up so that they might worship at the feast.

⁸ By faith Abraham, when called, obeyed to go out to the place that he was going to take for an inheritance. And he went out, not knowing where he was going.

⁶ And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be upon thy heart. ⁷ And thou shall teach them diligently to thy sons, and shall talk of them when thou sit in thy house, and when thou walk by the way, and when thou lie down, and when thou rise up.

¹⁸ Therefore ye shall lay up these my words in your heart and in your soul. And ye shall bind them for a sign upon your hand, and they shall be for frontlets between your eyes. ¹⁹ And ye shall teach them to your sons, talking of them when thou sit in thy house, and when thou walk by the way, and when thou lie down, and when thou rise up. ²⁰ And thou shall write them upon the door-posts of thy house, and upon thy gates,

¹⁸ And it shall be, when he sits upon the throne of his kingdom, that he shall write for him a copy of this law in a book, out of it before the priests the Levites, ¹⁹ and it shall be with him. And he shall read in it all the days of his life, that he may learn to fear LORD his God, to keep all the words of this law and these statutes, to do them,

⁸ This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth, but thou shall meditate on it day and night, that thou may observe to do according to all that is written in it, for then thou shall make thy way prosperous, and then thou shall have good success.

² but his delight is in the law of LORD, and on his law he meditates day and night. ³ And he shall be like a tree planted by the streams of water, that brings forth its fruit in its season, whose leaf also does not wither. And whatever he does shall prosper.

⁹⁹ I have more understanding than all my teachers, for thy testimonies are my meditation.

¹¹¹ I have taken thy testimonies as a heritage forever, for they are the rejoicing of my heart.

¹ My son, if thou will receive my words, and lay up my commandments with thee, ² so as to incline thine ear to wisdom, and apply thy heart to understanding, ³ yea, if thou cry after discernment, and lift up thy voice for understanding, ⁴ if thou seek her as silver, and search for her as for hidden treasures, ⁵ then thou shall understand the fear of LORD, and find the knowledge of God. ⁶ For LORD gives wisdom. Out of his mouth is knowledge and understanding.

³³ Hear instruction, and be wise, and do not refuse it. ³⁴ Blessed is the man who hears me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at the posts of my doors.

¹ The vision of Isaiah the son of Amoz, which he saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem, in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah.

⁴ as it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet, which says, The voice of a man crying out in the wilderness: Prepare ye the way of the Lord. Make his paths straight.

¹⁷ And the book of the prophet Isaiah was given to him. And having opened the book, he found the place where it was written,

³⁹ Ye search the scriptures, because ye think to have eternal life in them, and those are testifying about me. ⁴⁰ And ye will not come to me, so that ye may have life.

¹¹ But these were more noble than those in Thessalonica, who received the word with all willingness, examining the scriptures daily, if it has these things this way. ¹² Indeed therefore many of them believed, also of the prominent Greek women, and of men, not a few.

²⁵ And being discord among each other, they departed after Paul spoke one thing, saying, Well spoke the Holy Spirit through Isaiah the prophet to our fathers,

¹⁶ Let the word of Christ dwell in you abundantly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing by grace in your hearts to God.

¹⁵ And that from a babe thou have known the sacred writings, which are able to make thee wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. ¹⁶ Every scripture is inspired by God and useful for instruction, for reproof, for correction, for discipline in righteousness, ¹⁷ so that the man of God may be qualified, having been completed for every good work.

²⁴ And it shall come to pass that, before they call, I will answer, and while they are yet speaking, I will hear.

³ And let us know, let us follow on to know LORD. His going forth is sure as the morning, and he will come to us as the rain, as the latter rain that waters the earth.

¹⁹ And while Peter thought about the vision, the Spirit said to him, Behold, men seek thee.

¹² And the Spirit told me to go with them, doubting nothing. And these six brothers also went with me, and we entered into the man's house.

² And while they were serving the Lord, and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, Separate to me now Barnabas and Saul for the work that I have called them. ³ Then, having fasted and prayed and laid hands on them, they sent them away. ⁴ Indeed therefore these men, having been sent forth by the Holy Spirit, went down to Seleucia, and from there they sailed for Cyprus.

⁶ But having passed through the region of Phrygia and Galatia, having been forbidden by the Holy Spirit to speak the word in Asia, ⁷ having come toward Mysia, they attempted to go toward Bithynia. And the Spirit did not allow them.

²² And now behold, I, bound in the spirit, am going to Jerusalem, not knowing the things that will happen to me in it, ²³ except that the Holy Spirit testifies from city to city, saying that bonds and afflictions await me.

¹¹ And having come to us, and having taken Paul's belt, having bound both his feet and hands, he said, The Holy Spirit says these things: Thus the Jews in Jerusalem will bind the man whose belt this is, and will deliver him into the hands of Gentiles.

¹¹ But the one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each man individually as it wills.

¹ But the Spirit says expressly that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceitful spirits and doctrines of demons,

³² I will run the way of thy commandments when thou shall enlarge my heart.

¹⁰ Whatever thy hand finds to do, do with thy might, for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in Sheol, where thou go.

¹⁹ Of every man who hears the word of the kingdom, and does not understand it, evil comes, and snatches away what was sown in his heart. This is that which was sown by the wayside.

⁵¹ Jesus says to them, Have ye understood all these things? They say to him, Yes, Lord.

¹⁰ And having called in the multitude, he said to them, Hear and understand.

¹⁵ When therefore ye see the abomination of desolation that was spoken of through Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place (let him who reads understand),

¹⁴ But when ye see the abomination of desolation, which was spoken by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not (let him who reads understand), then let those in Judea flee to the mountains,

⁴⁴ And he said to them, These are the words that I spoke to you while still being with you, that it is necessary for all things that are written in the law of Moses, and the prophets, and the psalms about me to be fulfilled. ⁴⁵ Then he opened their mind to understand the scriptures.

³⁴ Jesus says to them, My food is that I do the will of him who sent me, and may finish his work.

³⁹ Ye search the scriptures, because ye think to have eternal life in them, and those are testifying about me.

²⁷ And after rising, he went. And behold a man, an Ethiopian, a eunuch, a high official of Candace the queen of the Ethiopians, who was over all her treasure, who had come to Jerusalem to worship.

¹⁹ Yet in an assembly I would rather speak five words with my intellect, so that I might also make others understand, than countless words in a tongue.

¹⁷ Because of this do not become foolish, but understanding what is the will of the Lord.

¹⁸ Here is wisdom: He who has understanding, let him calculate the number of the beast, for it is a number of a man. And its number is 666.

⁹ So Naaman came with his horses and with his chariots, and stood at the door of the house of Elisha.

²⁶ And he said to him, Did not my heart go with thee when the man turned from his chariot to meet thee? Is it a time to receive money, and to receive garments, and oliveyards and vineyards, and sheep and oxen, and men-servants and maid-servants?

¹⁵ And when he was departed from there, he came upon on Jehonadab the son of Rechab coming to meet him. And he saluted him, and said to him, Is thy heart right, as my heart is with thy heart? And Jehonadab answered, It is. If it be, give me thy hand. And he gave him his hand, and he took him up to him into the chariot. ¹⁶ And he said, Come with me, and see my zeal for LORD. So they made him ride in his chariot.

⁸ Good and upright is LORD. Therefore he will instruct sinners in the way. ⁹ The meek he will guide in justice, and the meek he will teach his way.

¹⁶ When I thought how I might understand this, it was too painful for me, ¹⁷ until I went into the sanctuary of God, and considered their latter end.

²² So I was brutish, and ignorant. I was a beast before thee.

² Surely I am more brutish than any man, and have not the understanding of a man, ³ and I have not learned wisdom, nor have I the knowledge of the Holy.

¹⁸ And in that day the deaf shall hear the words of the book, and the eyes of the blind shall see out of obscurity and out of darkness. ¹⁹ The meek also shall increase their joy in LORD, and the poor among men shall rejoice in the Holy One of Israel.

⁸ And a highway shall be there, and a way. And it shall be called The way of holiness. The unclean shall not pass over it, but it shall be for the redeemed, the wayfaring men. Yea fools shall not err in it.

³ And he said, Truly I say to you, if ye are not turned, and become as children, ye will, no, not enter into the kingdom of the heavens. ⁴ He therefore who will make himself lowly as this child, this man is the greater in the kingdom of the heavens.

¹⁵ Truly I say to you, whoever will not receive the kingdom of God as a child, he will, no, not enter it.

¹⁴ How then will they call on whom they have not believed? And how will they believe of whom they have not heard? And how will they hear without preaching?

¹⁸ Let not one man deceive himself. If any man among you seems to be wise in this age, let him become foolish so that he may become wise.

² If any man presumes to know anything, he knows nothing yet as he ought to know.

³⁶ Or did the word of God come forth from you? Or did it come to you only? ³⁷ If any man presumes to be a prophet or spiritual, let him acknowledge what I write to you, that they are commandments of the Lord.

¹⁰ but the rich in his lowliness, because as a flower of grass he will pass away.

²¹ Therefore having put off all filthiness and profusion of evil, receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls.

¹ Therefore, having put off all evil and all deceit and hypocrisies and envies and all evil speaking, ² as newborn babes, long for the genuine intellectual milk, so that ye may grow by it,

² I was mute with silence. I held my peace, even from good, and my sorrow was stirred.

⁹ I was mute. I opened not my mouth, because thou did it.

¹¹ Thou have made us like sheep for food, and have scattered us among the nations. ¹² Thou sell thy people for nothing, and have not increased by their price.

⁷ He was oppressed, yet when he was afflicted he opened not his mouth. As a lamb that is led to the slaughter, and as a sheep that is mute before its shearers, so he opened not his mouth. ⁸ In his humiliation his justice was taken away. And as for his generation, who considered that he was cut off out of the land of the living for the transgression of my people, to whom the stroke was due?

¹⁹ But I was like a gentle lamb that is led to the slaughter. And I knew not that they had devised devices against me, saying, Let us destroy the tree with the fruit of it. And let us cut him off from the land of the living, that his name may no more be remembered.

³ But thou, O LORD, know me. Thou see me, and try my heart toward thee. Pull them out like sheep for the slaughter, and prepare them for the day of slaughter.

⁴⁰ I will bring them down like lambs to the slaughter, like rams with he-goats.

⁶² And the high priest having stood up, he said to him, Answer thou nothing? What do these testify against thee? ⁶³ But Jesus was silent. And having responded, the high priest said to him, I adjure thee by the living God, that thou tell us if thou are the Christ, the Son of God.

³⁴ And Jesus said, Father, forgive them, for they know not what they are doing. And dividing his garments, they cast a lot.

²⁹ On the morrow John sees Jesus coming to him, and he says, Behold, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!

⁹ so that the word that he spoke might be fulfilled, Of whom thou have given me, I lost, no, not one of them. ¹⁰ Simon Peter therefore, having a sword, drew it and struck the high priest's bondman, and cut off his right ear. Now the servant's name was Malchus. ¹¹ Jesus therefore said to Peter, Put up thy sword into the sheath. The cup that the Father has given me, shall I, no, not drink it?

³⁶ Just as it is written, For thy sake we are killed the whole day long. We are considered as sheep of slaughter.

¹⁹ but by precious blood, as of a lamb unblemished and unspotted-of Christ,

²¹ For ye were called for this. Because Christ also suffered for us, leaving you an example, so that ye should follow his footsteps. ²² Who did no sin, nor was deceit found in his mouth. ²³ Who, being reviled, did not revile in return. Suffering, he did not threaten, but yielded to him who judges righteously. ²⁴ Who himself took up our sins in his body upon the tree, so that we, having died to sins, might live to the righteousness of him from whose wound ye were healed.

² As God lives, who has taken away my right, and the Almighty, who has vexed my soul.

⁵ For Job has said, I am righteous, and God has taken away my right.

¹⁵ My strength is dried up like a potsherd, and my tongue clings to my jaws, and thou have brought me into the dust of death.

³⁰ A seed shall serve him. It shall be told of the Lord to the next generation.

²³ who justify the wicked for rewards, and take away the justice of the righteous man from him!

² to turn aside the needy from justice, and to rob the poor of my people of their right, that widows may be their spoil, and that they may make the fatherless their prey!

⁸ In his humiliation his justice was taken away. And as for his generation, who considered that he was cut off out of the land of the living for the transgression of my people, to whom the stroke was due?

¹⁰ Yet it pleased LORD to bruise him. He has put him to grief. When thou shall make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed. He shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of LORD shall prosper in his hand.

¹² Therefore I will divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong, because he poured out his soul to death, and was numbered with the transgressors. Yet he bore the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.

²⁶ And after the sixty-two weeks the anointed one shall be cut off, and shall have nothing. And the people of the prince who shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary, and the end of it shall be with a flood. And even to the end shall be war; desolations are determined.

⁴ Therefore the law is slacked, and justice never goes forth. For the wicked man surrounds the righteous man, therefore justice goes forth perverted.

⁷ Awake, O sword, against my shepherd, and against the man who is my companion, says LORD of hosts. Smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered. And I will turn my hand upon the little ones.

¹² And when he was accused by the chief priests and elders, he answered nothing. ¹³ Then Pilate says to him, Do thou not hear how many things they testify against thee? ¹⁴ And he did not answer him, not even one word, so as for the governor to marvel greatly. ¹⁵ Now during a feast the governor had been accustomed to release to the crowd one prisoner whom they wanted. ¹⁶ And they had then a notorious prisoner called Barabbas. ¹⁷ When therefore they were gathered together, Pilate said to them, Whom do ye want I should release to you? Barabbas, or Jesus who is called Christ? ¹⁸ For he knew that they delivered him up because of envy. ¹⁹ And while he was sitting on the judgment seat, his wife sent to him, saying, There is nothing for thee and that righteous man. For I suffered many things this day in a dream because of him. ²⁰ But the chief priests and the elders persuaded the multitudes that they should ask for Barabbas, and destroy Jesus. ²¹ Now the governor having answered, he said to them, Which of the two do ye want I would release to you? And they said, Barabbas. ²² Pilate says to them, What then shall I do to Jesus who is called Christ? They all say to him, He should be crucified. ²³ And the governor said, For what evil has he done? But they cried out even more, saying, He should be crucified. ²⁴ And when Pilate saw that he was accomplishing nothing, but rather an uproar was developing, after taking water, he washed his hands in front of the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this righteous man. See ye to it. ²⁵ And having answered, all the people said, His blood be on us, and on our children. ²⁶ Then he released Barabbas to them, and having scourged Jesus he delivered him so that he would be crucified.

¹² From this Pilate sought to release him, but the Jews cried out, saying, If thou release this man, thou are not Caesar's friend. Every man who makes himself a king speaks against Caesar. ¹³ When Pilate therefore heard this word, he brought Jesus out, and sat down on the judgment seat at a place called The Pavement, but in Hebrew, Gabbatha. ¹⁴ Now it was the Preparation of the Passover, and about the sixth hour. And he says to the Jews, Look at your king! ¹⁵ But they cried out, Away, away, crucify him! Pilate says to them, Shall I crucify your king? The chief priests answered, We have no king except Caesar. ¹⁶ Therefore he then delivered him to them, so that he might be crucified, and they took and led Jesus away.

⁸ And having been found in a form like a man, he lowered himself, having become obedient until death, even of death from a cross. ⁹ Therefore God also highly exalted him and gave him the name above every name,

² Where is he who is born king of the Jews? For we saw his star in the east, and have come to worship him. ³ And Herod the king having heard it, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him. ⁴ And having gathered together all the chief priests and scholars of the people, he inquired of them where the Christ is born.

³⁶ Then having sent the multitudes away, Jesus came into the house. And his disciples came to him, saying, Explain to us the parable of the tares of the field.

¹⁵ And having answered, Peter said to him, Explain this parable to us.

² And having opened his mouth, he taught them, saying,

²⁷ And having begun from Moses and from all the prophets, he expounded to them in all the scriptures the things about himself.

⁴⁴ And he said to them, These are the words that I spoke to you while still being with you, that it is necessary for all things that are written in the law of Moses, and the prophets, and the psalms about me to be fulfilled. ⁴⁵ Then he opened their mind to understand the scriptures. ⁴⁶ And he said to them, Thus it is written, and thus it was necessary for the Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day, ⁴⁷ and to proclaim in his name repentance and remission of sins for all the nations, having begun from Jerusalem.

²⁰ And he may send Christ Jesus who has been pre-ordained for you,

³⁴ And having opened his mouth, Peter said, In truth, I am overwhelmed that God is not partial,

¹⁸ And also some of the Epicurean and Stoic philosophers encountered him. And some said, Whatever does this babbler want to say? But others, He seems to be a proclaimer of strange deities, because he brought the good news-Jesus and the resurrection.

²⁸ For he forcibly refuted the Jews in public, demonstrating by the scriptures Jesus to be the Christ.

¹³ But some of the wandering Jewish exorcists, attempted to name the name of the Lord Jesus over those who had the evil spirits, saying, We adjure you by Jesus whom Paul proclaims.

¹¹ O Corinthians, our mouth has been opened to you, our heart has been enlarged.

²¹ if indeed ye heard him, and were taught in him, as truth is in Jesus,

¹¹ searching for what, or what kind of time the Spirit of Christ in them indicated, predicting the sufferings in Christ, and the glories after these things. ¹² To whom it was revealed, that they were serving not themselves, but you, those things that were now reported to you by those who preached good news to you in the Holy Spirit, which was sent forth from heaven, into which things agents longed to stoop to see.

²⁵ And I will sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean. I will cleanse you from all your filthiness, and from all your idols.

⁵ Jesus answered, Truly, truly, I say to thee, If any man is not begotten from water and Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

²³ And John also was immersing in Aenon near Salim because there was much water there. And they came and were immersed.

⁴⁷ Can any man forbid the water for these not to be immersed, who have received the Holy Spirit as we also?

⁵ he saved us, not of works in righteousness that we did, but according to his mercy through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit, ⁶ which he poured out upon us abundantly, through Jesus Christ our Savior.

⁶ This is he who came by water and blood, Jesus Christ, not by the water only, but by the water and the blood. And it is the Spirit that testifies, because the Spirit is truth.

¹⁶ And Simon Peter having answered, said, Thou are the Christ, the Son of the living God.

¹⁶ He who believes and is immersed will be saved, but he who does not believe will be damned.

⁶⁸ Simon Peter therefore answered him, Lord, to whom will we go? Thou have sayings of eternal life. ⁶⁹ And we have believed and know that thou are the Christ, the Son of the living God.

³⁵ Jesus heard that they cast him outside. And having found him, he said to him, Do thou believe in the Son of God? ³⁶ That man answered and said, And who is he, Lord, that I may believe in him? ³⁷ And Jesus said to him, Thou have both seen him, and he is that man who speaks with thee. ³⁸ And he affirmed, Lord, I believe. And he worshiped him.

²⁷ She says to him, Yes, Lord, I have believed that thou are the Christ, the Son of God who comes into the world.

³¹ But these are written, so that ye may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing ye may have life in his name.

³⁸ And Peter said to them, Repent ye, and be immersed each of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. ³⁹ For the promise is to you, and to your children, and to all those in afar, as many as the Lord our God may call.

¹² But when they believed Philip preaching good news, the things about the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, they were immersed, both men and women. ¹³ And Simon himself also believed. And after being immersed, he was continuing with Philip. And seeing miracles and signs occurring, he was astonished.

³ Therefore I make known to you, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God says, Jesus is accursed, and no man can say, Jesus is Lord, except by the Holy Spirit.

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

¹ Every man who believes that Jesus is the Christ has been begotten from God, and every man who loves him who begot, also loves him who has been begotten from him.

⁵ And who is he who overcomes the world, if not he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?

¹⁰ He who believes in the Son of God has the testimony in himself. He who does not believe God has made him a liar, because he has not believed in the testimony that God has testified about his Son. ¹¹ And this is the testimony, that God gave eternal life to us, and this life is in his Son. ¹² He who has the Son has the life. He who does not have the Son of God does not have the life. ¹³ I wrote these things to you, those who believe in the name of the Son of God, so that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe in the name of the Son of God.

²² After these things Jesus and his disciples came into the Judean country. And he remained there with them and immersed. ²³ And John also was immersing in Aenon near Salim because there was much water there. And they came and were immersed.

¹ When therefore the Lord knew that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus was making and immersing more disciples than John

¹² And it will come to pass, as soon as I am gone from thee, that the Spirit of LORD will carry thee where I know not. And so when I come and tell Ahab, and he cannot find thee, he will kill me. But I thy servant fear LORD from my youth.

¹⁶ And they said to him, Behold now, there are fifty strong men with thy servants. Let them go, we pray thee, and seek thy master, lest the Spirit of LORD has taken him up, and cast him upon some mountain, or into some valley. And he said, Ye shall not send.

¹⁴ I have rejoiced in the way of thy testimonies as much as in all riches.

¹² For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace. The mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the fields shall clap their hands. ¹³ Instead of the thorn shall come up the fir tree, and instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle tree. And it shall be to LORD for a name, for an everlasting sign that shall not be cut off.

¹⁰ I will greatly rejoice in LORD. My soul shall be joyful in my God, for he has clothed me with the garments of salvation. He has covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decks himself with a garland, and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.

¹³ As one whom his mother comforts, so I will comfort you, and ye shall be comforted in Jerusalem. ¹⁴ And ye shall see, and your heart shall rejoice, and your bones shall flourish like the tender grass. And the hand of LORD shall be known toward his servants, and he will have indignation against his enemies.

¹² Then the Spirit lifted me up, and I heard behind me the voice of a great rushing, saying, Blessed be the glory of LORD from his place. ¹³ And I heard the noise of the wings of the living creatures as they touched each other, and the noise of the wheels beside them, even the noise of a great rushing. ¹⁴ So the Spirit lifted me up, and took me away. And I went in bitterness, in the heat of my spirit, and the hand of LORD was strong upon me.

³ And he put forth the form of a hand, and took me by a lock of my head. And the Spirit lifted me up between earth and heaven, and brought me in the visions of God to Jerusalem, to the door of the gate of the inner court that looks toward the north, where the seat of the image of jealousy was, which provokes to jealousy.

¹ Moreover the Spirit lifted me up, and brought me to the east gate of LORD's house, which looks eastward. And, behold, at the door of the gate twenty-five men. And I saw in the midst of them Jaazaniah the son of Azzur, and Pelatiah the son of Benaiah, rulers of the people.

²⁴ And the Spirit lifted me up, and brought me in the vision by the Spirit of God into Chaldea, to those of the captivity. So the vision that I had seen went up from me.

⁵ And the Spirit took me up, and brought me into the inner court, and, behold, the glory of LORD filled the house.

¹⁶ And when Jesus was immersed, he went up straightaway out of the water. And lo, the heavens were opened to him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and coming upon him.

⁴⁴ Again the kingdom of the heavens is like a treasure hidden in the field, which a man having found, he hid. And from the joy of it, he goes and sells all, as many things as he has, and buys that field.

¹⁰ And straightaway coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens divided, and the Spirit descending upon him as a dove.

⁸ And there became great joy in that city.

³⁴ And having brought them into his house, he set out a table, and rejoiced, having believed in God with all his house.

² through whom also we have access by faith for this grace in which we stand, and we take pride in hope of the glory of God.

¹⁰ And again he says, Rejoice, O Gentiles, with his people. ¹¹ And again, Praise ye the Lord all nations, and let all the peoples praise him. ¹² And again, Isaiah says, There will be the root of Jesse, and he who arises to reign over Gentiles. In him Gentiles will hope. ¹³ Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, for ye to abound in hope in the power of the Holy Spirit.

² I know a man in Christ, fourteen years ago (whether in body, I know not, or whether outside the body, I know not, God knows) such a man was caught up as far as the third heaven. ³ And I know such a man (whether in body, or whether outside the body, I know not, God knows) ⁴ that he was caught up into the paradise, and heard inexpressible sayings that are not permitted for a man to utter.

³ For we are the circumcision, men who worship in spirit to God, and who boast in Christ Jesus, and not being confident in flesh.

⁴ Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice.

⁹ Now let the lowly brother boast in his exaltation, ¹⁰ but the rich in his lowliness, because as a flower of grass he will pass away.

¹⁶ But now ye boast in your arrogance. All such boasting is evil.

⁴⁶ from Ekron even to the sea, all that were by the side of Ashdod, with their villages. ⁴⁷ Ashdod, its towns and its villages, Gaza, its towns and its villages, to the brook of Egypt, and the great sea, and the border of it.

¹ Now the Philistines had taken the ark of God, and they brought it from Ebenezer to Ashdod.

⁶ And a bastard shall dwell in Ashdod, and I will cut off the pride of the Philistines.

¹ Now after these things the Lord also appointed seventy other men, and sent them by twos before his face into every city and place where he himself was going to come. ² Therefore he said to them, The harvest indeed is plentiful, but the workmen are few. Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth workmen into his harvest.

²⁵ Indeed therefore, having solemnly testified and spoken the word of the Lord, they returned to Jerusalem, and preached the good news in many villages of the Samaritans.

¹ Now a certain man was in Caesarea, Cornelius by name, a centurion of the band called Italian,

²⁴ And on the morrow they entered into Caesarea. And Cornelius was waiting for them, having called together his kinsmen and close friends.

¹⁹ And Herod, who sought for him, and not having found, having examined the guards, he commanded them to be led away. And going down from Judea to Caesarea, he remained there.

¹⁶ And also the disciples from Caesarea went together with us, bringing a certain Mnason, a Cypriot, an old disciple with whom we would lodge.

²³ And having summoned a certain two of the centurions, he said, Prepare two hundred soldiers that they may go to Caesarea, and seventy horsemen, and two hundred spearmen at the third hour of the night.

³³ who, after coming to Caesarea and having delivered the letter to the governor, also presented Paul to him.

¹ Festus therefore having entered into the province, after three days he went up to Jerusalem from Caesarea.

⁴ Indeed therefore Festus answered to keep Paul in Caesarea, and he himself was going to go out quickly.

⁶ And after remaining among them more than ten days, having gone down to Caesarea, on the morrow having sat on the judgment seat, he commanded Paul to be brought.

¹³ Now some days having passed, Agrippa the king and Bernice arrived at Caesarea, greeting Festus.

¹⁹ in the power of signs and wonders, in the power of a Spirit of God, so that for me, from Jerusalem and all around as far as Illyricum, to fully preach the good news of Christ.
