²⁴ But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came. ²⁵ The other disciples therefore said to him, We have seen the Lord. But he said to them, Unless I may see the mark of the nails in his hands, and put my finger into the mark of the nails, and put my hand into his side, I will, no, not believe. ²⁶ And after eight days his disciples were again inside, and Thomas with them. Jesus comes, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, Peace to you. ²⁷ Then he says to Thomas, Bring thy finger here, and see my hands, and bring thy hand, and put into my side, and do not become faithless, but believing. ²⁸ Thomas answered and said to him, My Lord and my God. ²⁹ Jesus says to him, Because thou have seen me, thou have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen, and have believed.

² There were together, Simon Peter, and Thomas called Didymus, and Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and two other men of his disciples.

¹³ And when they came in, they went up into the upper floor where they were lodging, including, Peter and James and John and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon the Zealot, and Judas son of James.

² After two days he will revive us. On the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live before him.

¹⁹ Jesus answered and said to them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.

³⁹ Jesus says, Take ye away the stone. Martha, the sister of the man who came to end, says to him, Lord, he smells now, for it is the fourth day.

²⁷ Because thou will not leave my soul in Hades, nor will thou give thy Holy man to see decay. ²⁸ Thou made known to me the paths of life. Thou will fill me of joy with thy countenance. ²⁹ Men, brothers, being permitted to speak to you with openness about the patriarch David, that he both perished and was buried, and his sepulcher is with us to this day. ³⁰ Being therefore a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him, to raise the Christ from the fruit of his loins according to flesh to sit upon his throne. ³¹ Having foreseen this, he spoke about the resurrection of the Christ, that his soul was not left behind in Hades, nor did his flesh see decay.

¹³ And behold, two of them were going the same day to a village that was sixty furlongs away from Jerusalem, which name was Emmaus.

¹⁹ Therefore having impelled forward about twenty-five or thirty furlongs, they see Jesus walking on the sea, and coming near to the boat, and they were afraid.

²⁰ And the winepress was trampled outside the city, and blood came out from the winepress, up to the bridles of the horses, as far as a thousand and six hundred furlongs.

¹⁶ And the city lies foursquare, and the length of it is as great as the breadth. And he measured the city with the reed, twelve thousand furlongs, the length and the breadth and the height of it being equal.

³⁵ And all his sons and all his daughters rose up to comfort him, but he refused to be comforted, and he said, For I will go down to Sheol to my son mourning. And his father wept for him.

² And David said, I will show kindness to Hanun the son of Nahash, as his father showed kindness to me. So David sent by his servants to comfort him concerning his father. And David's servants came into the land of the sons of Ammon.

²¹ and Zabad his son, and Shuthelah his son, and Ezer, and Elead, whom the men of Gath that were born in the land killed, because they came down to take away their cattle. ²² And Ephraim their father mourned many days, and his brothers came to comfort him.

¹¹ Now when Job's three friends heard of all this evil that came upon him, they came each one from his own place-Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite-and they made an appointment together to come to bemoan him and to comfort him.

¹¹ Then there came to him all his brothers, and all his sisters, and all those who had been of his acquaintance before, and ate bread with him in his house. And they bemoaned him, and comforted him concerning all the evil that LORD had brought upon him. Each man also gave him a piece of money, and each one a ring of gold.

² It is better to go to the house of mourning than to go to the house of feasting. For that is the end of all men, and the living will lay it to his heart.

¹⁹ These two things have befallen thee (Who shall bemoan thee?): Desolation and destruction, and the famine and the sword. How shall I comfort thee?

⁵ For thus says LORD, Enter not into the house of mourning, nor go to lament, nor bemoan them, for I have taken away my peace from this people, says LORD, even loving kindness and tender mercies. ⁶ Both great and small shall die in this land. They shall not be buried, nor shall men lament for them, nor cut themselves, nor make themselves bald for them, ⁷ nor shall men break bread for them in mourning, to comfort them for the dead, nor shall men give them the cup of consolation to drink for their father or for their mother.

² She weeps bitterly in the night, and her tears are on her cheeks. Among all her loved ones she has none to comfort her. All her friends have dealt treacherously with her, they have become her enemies.

⁹ Her filthiness was in her skirts. She did not think of her latter end. Therefore she has come down astonishingly. She has no comforter. Behold, O LORD, my affliction, for the enemy has magnified himself.

¹⁶ For these things I weep. My eye, my eye runs down with water, because the comforter who should refresh my soul is far from me. My sons are desolate, because the enemy has prevailed.

²¹ They have heard that I sigh. There is none to comfort me. All my enemies have heard of my trouble. They are glad that thou have done it. Thou will bring the day that thou have proclaimed, and they shall be like me.

¹³ What shall I testify to thee? What shall I liken to thee, O daughter of Jerusalem? What shall I compare to thee, that I may comfort thee, O virgin daughter of Zion? For thy breach is great like the sea; who can heal thee?

³¹ The Jews therefore being with her in the house and consoling her, having seen Mary, that she rose up quickly and went out, followed her, saying that she was going to the sepulcher that she may weep there.

¹⁵ Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep,

⁴ who encourages us in all our affliction, in order for us to be able to encourage those in every affliction, through the encouragement of which we ourselves are encouraged by God.

¹⁸ Therefore encourage each other with these words.

¹¹ Therefore encourage each other, and build ye up one by one, just as ye also are doing.

¹ Then the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins, who, having taken their lamps, went forth to the bridegroom's gathering.

⁶ But at midnight a shout occurred, Behold, the bridegroom comes! Go ye forth for his gathering.

³⁰ (Now Jesus had not yet come into the village, but was in the place where Martha met him.)

²⁵ And when it came about for Peter to enter, Cornelius, having met him, after falling down at his feet, worshiped.

¹⁵ And from there the brothers, who heard these things about us, came for a meeting with us as far as Appius Forum and The Three Taverns, whom, when Paul saw, having expressed thanks to God, he took courage.

¹⁷ then we who are alive, who remain, will be caught up simultaneously with them in clouds to the Lord's gathering in the air. And so we will always be with the Lord.

¹⁸ And she said to Elijah, What have I to do with thee, O thou man of God? Thou have come to me to bring my sin to remembrance, and to kill my son!

¹⁹ Yea, they spoke against God. They said, Can God prepare a table in the wilderness?

⁴¹ And they turned again and challenged God, and provoked the Holy One of Israel.

¹⁸ While he spoke these things to them, behold, one ruler who came worshiped him, saying, My daughter has just now perished, but after coming, lay thy hand upon her, and she will live.

⁶ And Jesus went with them. And when he was now not far distant from the house, the centurion sent friends to him, saying to him, Lord, be not troubled, for I am not worthy that thou should come under my roof. ⁷ Therefore neither did I consider myself worthy to come to thee, but speak by word, and my boy will be healed. ⁸ For I also am a man set under authority, having soldiers under myself. And I say to this man, Go, and he goes, and to another, Come, and he comes, and to my bondman, Do this, and he does. ⁹ And when Jesus heard these things, he marveled him, and having turned around to the multitude who followed him, he said, I say to you, not even in Israel have I found such great faith. ¹⁰ And those who were sent, having returned to the house, found the bondman who was feeble, being well.

¹³ And when the Lord saw her, he felt compassion toward her, and said to her, Weep not. ¹⁴ And having come, he touched the coffin, and the men carrying it stood still. And he said, Young man, I say to thee, arise. ¹⁵ And the dead man sat up, and began to speak. And he gave him to his mother.

⁴⁹ While he still spoke, some man comes from the synagogue ruler, saying to him, Thy daughter has died. Do not trouble the teacher. ⁵⁰ But having heard it, Jesus answered him, saying, Fear not, only believe and she will be saved. ⁵¹ And when he came to the house, he did not allow any man to enter in except Peter and John and James, and the father of the girl and the mother. ⁵² And all were weeping and bewailing her. But he said, Weep not. She did not die, but sleeps. ⁵³ And they ridiculed him, knowing that she died. ⁵⁴ But having sent them all away outside, having taken her by the hand, he called out, saying, Girl, awake. ⁵⁵ And her spirit returned, and she rose up immediately. And he commanded to give her to eat.

⁴⁷ This man having heard that Jesus comes out of Judea into Galilee, he went to him and besought him that he would come down and heal his son, for he was going to die. ⁴⁸ Jesus therefore said to him, Unless ye may see signs and wonders, ye will, no, not believe. ⁴⁹ The nobleman says to him, Sir, come down before my child dies.

³² Therefore when Mary came where Jesus was, after seeing him, she fell down at his feet, saying to him, Lord, if thou were here, my brother would not have died.

³⁷ But some of them said, This man who opened the eyes of the blind man, was he not also able to cause that this man also would not die?

⁸ Ask of me, and I will give thee the nations for thine inheritance, and the outermost parts of the earth for thy possession.

¹⁸ And Jesus having come, he spoke to them, saying, All authority in heaven and on earth was given to me.

²³ And Jesus said to him, If thou are able to believe, all things are possible to him who believes.

³⁵ The Father loves the Son, and has given all things into his hand.

²² For neither does the Father judge any man, but he has given all judgment to the Son, ²³ so that all would honor the Son, even as they honor the Father. The man not honoring the Son, does not honor the Father who sent him. ²⁴ Truly, truly, I say to you, that he who hears my word, and believes him who sent me, has eternal life. And he does not come into condemnation, but has passed from death into life. ²⁵ Truly, truly, I say to you, that an hour comes, and now is, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear will live. ²⁶ For as the Father has life in himself, so also he gave to the Son to have life in himself. ²⁷ And he also gave him authority to execute judgment because he is a son of man.

³¹ And we know that God does not listen to sinners, but if any man is a worshiper of God, and does his will, he listens to this man.

⁴¹ So they took away the stone where the man who died was laying. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou heard me. ⁴² And I had known that thou always hear me, but because of the multitude that stands by I spoke, so that they may believe that thou sent me.

² just as thou gave him authority over all flesh, so that all things that thou have given him, he will give them eternal life.

¹⁷ By faith Abraham, being tested, offered Isaac. And he who received the promises offered his only begotten son, ¹⁸ about whom it was said, The seed by thee will be called in Isaac. ¹⁹ Having reckoned that God is able to raise up even from the dead, from where also, in a figure, he did receive him back.

¹⁵ As for me, I shall behold thy face in righteousness. I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with thy form.

¹⁴ They are appointed as a flock for Sheol. Death shall be their shepherd, and the upright shall have dominion over them in the morning. And their beauty shall be for Sheol to consume, that there be no habitation for it. ¹⁵ But God will redeem my soul from the power of Sheol, for he will receive me. Selah.

⁸ He will swallow up death in victory, and the lord LORD will wipe away tears from off all faces. And he will take away the reproach of his people from off all the earth. For LORD has spoken it.

¹⁹ Thy dead shall live. My dead bodies shall arise. Awake and sing, ye who dwell in the dust, for thy dew is as the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast forth the dead.

¹ The hand of LORD was upon me, and he brought me out in the Spirit of LORD, and set me down in the midst of the valley, and it was full of bones. ² And he caused me to pass by them round about. And, behold, there were very many in the open valley, and, lo, they were very dry. ³ And he said to me, Son of man, can these bones live? And I answered, O lord LORD, thou know. ⁴ Again he said to me, Prophesy over these bones, and say to them, O ye dry bones, hear the word of LORD. ⁵ Thus says the lord LORD to these bones: Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and ye shall live. ⁶ And I will lay sinews upon you, and will bring up flesh upon you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and ye shall live. And ye shall know that I am LORD. ⁷ So I prophesied as I was commanded. And as I prophesied, there was a noise, and, behold, an earthquake, and the bones came together, bone to its bone. ⁸ And I beheld, and, lo, there were sinews upon them, and flesh came up, and skin covered them above, but there was no breath in them. ⁹ Then he said to me, Prophesy to the wind. Prophesy, son of man, and say to the wind, Thus says the lord LORD: Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe upon these slain, that they may live. ¹⁰ So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived, and stood up upon their feet, an exceedingly great army.

² And many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt. ³ And those who are wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament, and those who turn many to righteousness as the stars forever and ever.

¹⁴ I will ransom them from the power of Sheol. I will redeem them from death. O death, where are thy plagues? O Sheol, where is thy sting? Repentance shall be hid from my eyes.

²³ On that day Sadducees came to him, those who claim to be no resurrection. And they questioned him, saying, ²⁴ Teacher, Moses said, If some man dies, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife, and raise up seed to his brother. ²⁵ Now there were with us seven brothers. And the first having married perished. And having no seed left his wife to his brother. ²⁶ Likewise also the second, and the third, until the seventh. ²⁷ And last of all, the woman also died. ²⁸ In the resurrection therefore, which of the seven will she be wife? For they all had her. ²⁹ But having answered, Jesus said to them, Ye are led astray, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God. ³⁰ For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as agents of God in heaven. ³¹ But concerning the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read that which was spoken to you by God, saying, ³² I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not God of the dead, but of the living.

¹⁴ and thou will be blessed, because they do not have to recompense thee, for it will be recompensed to thee at the resurrection of the righteous.

³¹ Because he appointed a day during which he is going to judge the world in righteousness by a man whom he appointed, having provided assurance to all men because he raised him from the dead. ³² But when they heard the resurrection of the dead, of course they mocked, but others said, We will hear thee again about this.

⁶ But when Paul ascertained that the one part were Sadducees and the other Pharisees, he cried out in the council, Men, brothers, I am a Pharisee, son of a Pharisee. About the hope and resurrection of the dead I am judged. ⁷ And when he said this, there developed a conflict of the Pharisees and Sadducees, and the group was divided. ⁸ For in fact Sadducees say to be no resurrection nor agent nor spirit, but Pharisees acknowledge them all. ⁹ And there developed a great clamor. And some of the scholars of the Pharisees part having risen, they argued vehemently, saying, We find nothing wrong in this man. But if a spirit spoke to him, or an agent, we should not fight against God.

¹⁵ having hope toward God, which they themselves also await, to come to be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and unjust.

³⁵ Women took hold of their dead from a resurrection, but others were tortured, not having accepted deliverance, so that they might experience a superior resurrection.

²⁵ But as for me I know that my Redeemer lives, and at last he will stand up upon the earth. ²⁶ And after my skin, this body, is destroyed, then outside my flesh I shall see God, ²⁷ whom I, even I, shall see on my side, and my eyes shall behold, and not as a stranger. My heart is consumed within me.

⁹ For with thee is the fountain of life. In thy light we shall see light.

¹⁶ O Lord, by these things men live, and wholly therein is the life of my spirit. Therefore recover thou me, and make me to live.

⁴³ And Jesus said to him, Truly I say to thee, today thou will be with me in the paradise.

⁴ In him was life, and the life was the light of men.

³⁶ He who believes in the Son has eternal life, but he who disobeys the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him.

²¹ For as the Father raises up the dead and makes alive, so also the Son makes alive whom he will.

²⁶ For as the Father has life in himself, so also he gave to the Son to have life in himself.

³⁵ Jesus said to them, I am the bread of life. He who comes to me will, no, not hunger, and he who believes in me will, no, not ever thirst.

³⁹ And this is the will of the Father who sent me, that of all that he has given me I would not lose from it, but I will raise it up at the last day. ⁴⁰ And this is the will of him who sent me, that every man who sees the Son, and believes in him, may have eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day.

⁴⁴ No man can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him, and I will raise him up in the last day.

⁶ Jesus says to him, I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No man comes to the Father, except by me.

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

¹⁵ And ye killed the Pathfinder of life, whom God raised from the dead, of which we are witnesses.

¹⁷ (as it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations), before him whom he believed, of God who makes the dead alive, and who calls things not existing, as existing.

¹⁷ For if, by the offense of the one man, death reigned through the one man, much more those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the one man, Jesus Christ. ¹⁸ So then, as through an offense of one man was for condemnation for all men, so also through a righteousness of one man was for justification of life for all men. ¹⁹ For as through the one man's disobedience the many were led sinful, so also through the obedience of the one man the many will be led righteous.

² For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus freed me from the law of sin and of death.

¹⁰ And if Christ is in you, the body is indeed dead because of sin, but the spirit is life because of righteousness. ¹¹ But if the Spirit of him who raised up Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised up the Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit that dwells in you.

³⁸ For I am persuaded that neither death, nor life, nor agents, nor principal positions, nor powers, nor things that have come, nor things that are coming, ³⁹ nor height, nor depth, nor any other creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

²⁰ But now Christ has been raised from the dead. He became the first fruit of those who are asleep. ²¹ For since death is because of a man, the resurrection of the dead is also because of a man. ²² For as by Adam all die, so also by Christ all will be made alive. ²³ But each in his own order. Christ the first fruit, then those of Christ at his coming. ²⁴ Afterwards the end, when he delivers up the kingdom to the God and Father, when he will abolish all rule, and all authority and power. ²⁵ For he must reign until he will put all his enemies under his feet. ²⁶ The last enemy abolished is death.

²⁹ Otherwise what will they do who are immersed for the dead? If the dead do not rise at all, why then are they immersed for the dead?

⁴³ It is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness, it is raised in power. ⁴⁴ It is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body. ⁴⁵ And so it is written, The first man Adam developed into a living soul. The last Adam a life giving spirit. ⁴⁶ Nevertheless the spiritual is not first, but the natural, then the spiritual. ⁴⁷ The first man was of the earth, earthly. The second man is the Lord from heaven. ⁴⁸ As is the earthly, such also are the earthly. And as is the heavenly, such also are the heavenly. ⁴⁹ And just as we have worn the form of the earthly, we will also wear the form of the heavenly. ⁵⁰ Now this I affirm, brothers, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit imperishability. ⁵¹ Behold, I tell you a mystery. We will actually not all sleep, but we will all be transformed, ⁵² in an instant, in the blink of an eye, at the last trumpet. For it will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be transformed. ⁵³ For this perishable must put on imperishability, and this mortal put on immortality. ⁵⁴ But when this perishable will have put on imperishability, and this mortal will have put on immortality, then will come to pass the saying that is written, Death was swallowed up in victory. ⁵⁵ O death, where is thy sting? O Hades, where is thy victory? ⁵⁶ The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. ⁵⁷ But thanks is to God who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

¹⁴ knowing that he who raised up the Lord Jesus will also raise us up through Jesus, and will present us with you.

¹ For we know that if the earthly house of our tent were destroyed, we have a building from God, a house not made by hands, eternal in the heavens. ² For also in this we groan, longing to clothe ourselves with our habitation from heaven, ³ if indeed also having put it on we will not be found naked. ⁴ For also those who are in the tent groan, being burdened, not in that we want to undress, but to clothe ourselves, so that the mortal may be swallowed up by the life. ⁵ Now he who wrought us for this same thing is God, who also gave us the pledge of the Spirit. ⁶ Therefore always being confident, and knowing that while at home in the body we are absent from the Lord, ⁷ for we walk by faith, not by sight. ⁸ And we are confident, and are pleased rather to be absent from the body and to be at home near the Lord.

²³ And I am constrained by the two, having the desire to depart and be with Christ, being far better.

¹⁰ to know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the participation of his sufferings, being conformed to his death,

²⁰ For our citizenship exists in the heavens, from which also we await a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, ²¹ who will transform the body of our lowliness, in order for it to become similar in form to the body of his glory, according to the working of his power even to subject all things to himself.

³ For ye died, and your life has been hidden with the Christ in God. ⁴ When the Christ, our life, is made known, then ye also will be made known with him in glory.

¹⁴ For if we believe that Jesus died and arose, so also those who became asleep through Jesus, God will bring with him.

¹³ All these died in faith, not having taken the promises, but who saw and greeted them from afar, and who confessed that they were foreigners and sojourners on the earth. ¹⁴ For those who say such things show that they are seeking a fatherland. ¹⁵ And if indeed they remembered that from which they came out, they would have had time to return. ¹⁶ But now they aspire for a superior one, that is, a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed of them, to be called their God, for he has prepared for them a city.

¹ What was from the beginning, what we have heard, what we have seen with our eyes, what we looked upon, and our hands touched, concerning the Word of life ² (and the life was made known, and we have seen, and testify, and declare to you the eternal life that was with the Father, and was made known to us),

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.

⁵ The rest of the dead did not live until the thousand years were ended. This is the first resurrection.

¹⁰ And the devil who leads them astray was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where also were the beast and the false prophet. And they will be tormented day and night into the ages of the ages. ¹¹ And I saw a great white throne, and him who sits upon it, from whose face the earth and the sky fled away, and no place was found for them. ¹² And I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne, and books were opened, and another book was opened, which is the one of life. And the dead were judged from the things that were written in the books, according to their works. ¹³ And the sea gave up the dead in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead in them. And they were judged, each according to their works. ¹⁴ And death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire. ¹⁵ And if any man was found not written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.

⁴ And he will wipe away every tear from their eyes. And there will not be any more death, nor grief, nor crying, nor will there be any more anguish, because the former things are gone.

¹ And he showed me a pure river of water of life, bright as crystal, coming out from the throne of God and of the Lamb,

¹⁷ And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And he who hears, let him say, Come. And he who is thirsty, let him come. He who desires, let him take the water of life freely.

²⁸ And when he came into the house, the blind men came to him. And Jesus says to them, Believe ye that I am able to do this? They say to him, Yes, Lord.

⁵³ Or do thou think that I cannot now call my Father, and he will provide to me more than twelve legions of agents?

¹⁵ so that every man who believes in him would not perish, but may have eternal life. ¹⁶ For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, so that every man who believes in him would not perish, but have eternal life. ¹⁷ For God sent the Son into the world not that he might condemn the world, but that the world might be saved through him. ¹⁸ He who believes in him is not condemned. He who does not believe has been condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

¹⁴ but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will, no, not thirst into the age. But the water that I will give him will become in him a well of water springing up to eternal life.

²⁴ Truly, truly, I say to you, that he who hears my word, and believes him who sent me, has eternal life. And he does not come into condemnation, but has passed from death into life.

⁵⁰ This is the bread that comes down out of heaven, that a man may eat of it, and not die. ⁵¹ I am the living bread, having come down out of heaven. If any man eats of this bread, he will live into the age. And also, the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.

⁵⁴ He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. ⁵⁵ For my flesh is truly food, and my blood is truly drink. ⁵⁶ He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood dwells in me, and I in him. ⁵⁷ Just as the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, also he who eats me, that man will also live because of me. ⁵⁸ This is the bread that came down out of heaven, not as your fathers ate the manna and died. He who eats this bread will live into the age.

⁵¹ Truly, truly, I say to you, if any man keeps my word, he will, no, not see death, into the age. ⁵² The Jews therefore said to him, Now we know that thou have a demon. Abraham died, and the prophets, and thou say, If any man keeps my word, he will, no, not taste of death, into the age. ⁵³ Are thou greater than our father Abraham who died? And the prophets died. Who do thou make thyself?

³⁵ Jesus heard that they cast him outside. And having found him, he said to him, Do thou believe in the Son of God?

²⁸ And I give them eternal life, and they will, no, not perish into the age, and not any will snatch them out of my hand.

¹⁰ Do thou not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? The sayings that I speak to you I speak not from myself, but the Father who dwells in me, he does the works.

¹³ For if ye live according to flesh, ye are going to die, but if in spirit ye kill the deeds of the body, ye will live.

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.

¹ Behold, I send my agent, and he shall prepare the way before me. And the Lord, whom ye seek, will suddenly come to his temple. And the messenger of the covenant, whom ye desire, behold, he comes, says LORD of hosts.

³ he said to him, Are thou he who comes, or do we look for another man?

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

¹¹ because to you was born today in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ Lord.

¹⁹ And having summoned a certain two of his disciples, John sent them to Jesus, saying, Are thou he who comes, or do we look for another man? ²⁰ And when they came to him, they said, John the immerser has sent us to thee, saying, Are thou he who comes, or do we look for another man?

⁴⁹ Nathanael answered, and says to him, Rabbi, thou are the Son of God. Thou are the king of Israel.

⁴² And they said to the woman, We no longer believe because of thy speaking, for we have heard ourselves, and know that this really is the Savior of the world, the Christ.

¹⁴ When therefore the men saw what sign Jesus did, they said, This really is the prophet who comes into the world.

⁶⁹ And we have believed and know that thou are the Christ, the Son of the living 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.

²⁸ Thomas answered and said to him, My Lord and my God. ²⁹ Jesus says to him, Because thou have seen me, thou have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen, and have believed. ³⁰ And indeed therefore many other signs Jesus did in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book. 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.

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?

¹⁵ Faithful is the saying, and worthy of all acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinful men, of whom I am foremost. ¹⁶ But because of this I obtained mercy, so that in me, the foremost, Jesus Christ might show forth all longsuffering for an example of those who were going to believe in him for eternal life.

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.

²⁰ And we know that the Son of God comes, and has given us understanding, so that we may know the true. And we are in the true, in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and the eternal life.

⁸ The voice of my beloved! Behold, he comes, leaping upon the mountains, skipping upon the hills. ⁹ My beloved is like a roe or a young hart. Behold, he stands behind our wall. He looks in at the windows. He glances through the lattice. ¹⁰ My beloved spoke, and said to me, Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away. ¹¹ For, lo, the winter is past. The rain is over and gone. ¹² The flowers appear on the earth. The time of the singing has come, and the voice of the turtledove is heard in our land. ¹³ The fig tree ripens her green figs, and the vines are in blossom. They give forth their fragrance. Arise, my love, my fair one, and come away. ¹⁴ O my dove, who are in the clefts of the rock, in the covert of the steep place, let me see thy countenance; let me hear thy voice. For sweet is thy voice, and thy countenance is comely.

¹⁰ In that day, says LORD of hosts, ye shall invite each man his neighbor under the vine and under the fig tree.

¹⁸ And he said, Go into the city to a certain man, and say to him, The teacher says, My time is near. I keep the Passover with my disciples with thee.

⁴⁹ And having stood still, Jesus said for him to be called. And they call the blind man, saying to him, Cheer up. Arise, he calls thee.

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?

¹¹ And ye shall say to the house-ruler, The teacher says to thee, Where is the guest room where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?

⁴¹ This man first finds his own brother Simon, and says to him, We have found the Messiah (which is, being 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 of Nazareth.

³ The gatekeeper opens to this man. And the sheep hear his voice, and he calls his own sheep by name, and leads them out.

²⁰ Therefore Martha, when she heard that Jesus was coming, met him, but Mary was sitting in the house.

¹³ Ye call me, Teacher, and, Lord. And ye say well, for I am.

¹⁶ Jesus says to her, Mary. After turning around, that woman says to him, Rabboni, which says, Teacher.

⁷ That disciple therefore whom Jesus loved says to Peter, It is the Lord. So when Simon Peter heard that it is the Lord, he tied the coat around himself (for he was undressed), and threw himself into the sea.

¹⁷ then we who are alive, who remain, will be caught up simultaneously with them in clouds to the Lord's gathering in the air. And so we will always be with the Lord. ¹⁸ Therefore encourage each other with these words.

¹² Therefore lift up the drooping hands, and the feeble knees,

⁸ My heart said to thee, I have sought thy face. O LORD, I will seek thy face.

⁵⁹ I thought on my ways, and turned my feet to thy testimonies. ⁶⁰ I made haste, and delayed not, to observe thy commandments.

²³ A man has joy in the answer of his mouth, and a word in due season, how good it is!

¹⁷ Iron sharpens iron, so a man sharpens the countenance of his friend.

¹ By night on my bed I sought him whom my soul loves. I sought him, but I did not find him. ² I said, I will rise now, and go around the city. In the streets and in the broad ways I will seek him whom my soul loves. I sought him, but I did not find him. ³ The watchmen who go about the city found me. I said, Did ye see him whom my soul loves? ⁴ It was but a little that I passed from them when I found him whom my soul loves. I held him, and would not let him go until I had brought him into my mother's house, and into the chamber of her who conceived me.

¹⁶ David therefore besought God for the child. And David fasted, and went in, and lay all night upon the ground. ¹⁷ And the elders of his house arose, and stood beside him, to raise him up from the ground, but he would not, neither did he eat bread with them. ¹⁸ And it came to pass on the seventh day, that the child died. And the servants of David feared to tell him that the child was dead, for they said, Behold, while the child was yet alive we spoke to him, and he did not hearken to our voice, how will he then vex himself, if we tell him that the child is dead!

¹⁹ and many of the Jews had come to the women, about Martha and Mary, so that they might console them about their brother.

¹⁵ But truly the spiritual man evaluates all things, but he himself is evaluated by none.

⁸ But Simon Peter having seen, he fell down at Jesus' knees, saying, Depart from me, because I am a sinful man, Lord.

⁴¹ And behold, there came a man whose name was Jairus, and he was a ruler of the synagogue. And having fallen down near Jesus' feet, he besought him to come into his house,

¹⁶ And he fell upon his face beside his feet giving him thanks. And he was a Samaritan.

⁴⁹ The nobleman says to him, Sir, come down before my child dies.

²¹ Martha therefore said to Jesus, Lord, if thou were here, my brother would not have died.

⁸ And when he took the book, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each having a harp and golden bowls containing incense, which are the prayers of the sanctified.

¹⁴ And the four living creatures were saying the Truly. And the elders fell down and worshiped.

⁸ And I am John, the man hearing and seeing these things. And when I heard and saw, I fell down to worship before the feet of the agent showing me these things.

⁵ And having looked around on them with anger, being grieved at the callousness of their heart, he says to the man, Stretch forth thy hand. And he stretched it out, and his hand was restored as the other.

¹⁹ And having answered him, he says, O faithless generation, how long will I be with you? How long will I endure you? Bring him to me.

³³ And he takes Peter and James and John with him, and began to be greatly disturbed, and very distressed. ³⁴ And he says to them, My soul is deeply grieved, to the point of death. Remain ye here, and watch. ³⁵ And having gone forward a little, he fell on the ground, and prayed that, if it were possible, the hour might pass from him.

³⁸ Jesus therefore again groaning in himself comes to the sepulcher. Now it was a cave, and a stone lay against it.

²⁷ Now is my soul troubled, and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour. But because of this I came to this hour.

²¹ Having said these things, Jesus was troubled in the spirit, and testified and said, Truly, truly, I say to you, that one of you will betray me.

¹⁵ For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but who was tempted in all things in the same way, without sin.

⁷ Who, in the days of his flesh, having offered up both prayers and supplications with strong shouting and tears to him who was able to save him from death, and who was heard because of his reverence, ⁸ although being a Son, he learned obedience from the things that he suffered.

⁶ He is not here, for he was raised as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.

⁴⁷ And Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses saw where he was laid.

⁶ And he says to them, Be not alarmed. Ye seek Jesus, the man of Nazareth who was crucified. He was raised. He is not here. Behold, the place where they laid him.

³⁹ He says to them, Come and see. They came and saw where he dwelt, and remained with him that day. It was about the tenth hour.

² Therefore she runs and comes to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple whom Jesus loved, and says to them, They have taken away the Lord out of the sepulcher, and we know not where they have laid him.

³⁰ And Joseph made haste, for his heart yearned over his brother, and he sought where to weep. And he entered into his chamber, and wept there.

²⁵ Did I not weep for him who was in trouble? Was not my soul grieved for the needy?

¹³ But as for me, when they were sick my clothing was sackcloth. I afflicted my soul with fasting, and my prayer returned into my own bosom. ¹⁴ I behaved myself as though it had been my friend or my brother. I bowed down mourning, as he who bewails his mother. ¹⁵ But in my adversity they rejoiced, and gathered themselves together. The wretches gathered themselves together against me, and I knew it not. They tore me, and ceased not.

¹³⁶ Streams of water run down my eyes, because they do not observe thy law.

³ He was despised, and rejected by men, a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief. And as him from whom men hide their face he was despised, and we esteemed him not.

⁹ In all their affliction he was afflicted, and the agent of his presence saved them. In his love and in his pity he redeemed them. And he bore them, and carried them all the days of old.

¹ Oh that my head were waters, and my eyes a fountain of tears, that I might weep day and night for the slain of the daughter of my people!

¹⁷ But if ye will not hear it, my soul shall weep in secret for your pride. And my eye shall weep greatly, and run down with tears, because LORD's flock is taken captive.

¹⁷ And thou shall say this word to them: Let my eyes run down with tears night and day, and let them not cease. For the virgin daughter of my people is broken with a great breach, with a very grievous wound.

¹¹ And as they heard these things, he spoke, adding on a parable because he was near Jerusalem, and because they thought that the kingdom of God was going to appear immediately.

⁴¹ And when he came near, having seen the city, he wept over it,

³³ When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews who gathered with her, weeping, he groaned in the spirit, and was himself troubled.

² that great distress is in me, and unceasing sorrow in my heart. ³ For I wished I myself to be accursed from the Christ, for my brothers, my kinsmen according to flesh,

¹⁶ For he certainly did not embrace agents, but he embraced the seed of Abraham. ¹⁷ Therefore he was obligated to be made like his brothers in accordance with all things, so that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in things toward God, in order to make reconciliation for the sins of the people.

²¹ He who has my commandments, and keeps them, that man it is who loves me. And he who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him. ²² Judas (not Iscariot) says to him, Lord, and what has happened that thou are going to manifest thyself to us, and not to the world? ²³ Jesus answered and said to him, If any man loves me, he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make a dwelling with him.

¹⁵ So when they ate breakfast, Jesus says to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonah, do thou love me more than these things? He says to him, Yea, Lord. Thou know that I love thee. He says to him, Feed my lambs. ¹⁶ He says to him again a second time, Simon, son of Jonah, do thou love me? He says to him, Yea, Lord. Thou know that I love thee. He says to him, Feed my sheep. 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.

⁸ I speak not from commandment, but because of the zeal of others, also examining the genuineness of your love. ⁹ For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that although he was rich he became poor for your sakes, so that by that man's poverty ye might become rich.

² And walk in love, as also the Christ loved us, and delivered himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a fragrant aroma.

²⁵ Husbands, love your own wives even as Christ also loved the church, and delivered himself up for it,

¹ Behold what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we may be called children of God. Because of this the world does not know you, because it did not know him.

⁹ By this the love of God was made known in us, because God sent his Son, the only begotten, into the world so that we might live through him. ¹⁰ In this is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son, an atonement for our sins.

⁵ and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To him who loves us and washed us from our sins by his blood

¹⁹ Yea, they spoke against God. They said, Can God prepare a table in the wilderness? ²⁰ Behold, he smote the rock, so that waters gushed out, and streams overflowed. Can he give bread also? Will he provide flesh for his people?

⁴⁰ and saying, Thou who destroy the temple, and build it in three days, save thyself. If thou are the Son of God, come down from the cross. ⁴¹ And likewise also the chief priests, ridiculing with the scholars, and elders, and Pharisees, said, ⁴² He saved others, he cannot save himself. If he is the king of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe in him.

³² Let the Christ, the king of Israel, come down now from the cross, that we may see and believe in him. And those who were crucified with him reviled him.

³⁵ And the people had stood watching. And also the rulers with them sneered, saying, He saved others. He should save himself, if this is the Christ, the chosen of God.

³⁹ And one of the malefactors who were hanged railed him, saying, If thou are the Christ, save thyself and us.

⁶ Having said these things, he spat toward the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and rubbed the clay on the eyes of the blind man. ⁷ And he said to him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam (which is translated, He who has been sent). Therefore he went and washed, and came seeing.

¹⁹ And after this, Abraham buried Sarah his wife in the cave of the field of Machpelah before Mamre (the same is Hebron), in the land of Canaan.

²⁹ And he ordered them, and said to them, I am to be gathered to my people. Bury me with my fathers in the cave that is in the field of Ephron the Hittite, ³⁰ in the cave that is in the field of Machpelah, which is before Mamre, in the land of Canaan, which Abraham bought with the field from Ephron the Hittite for a possession of a burying place. ³¹ There they buried Abraham and Sarah his wife, there they buried Isaac and Rebekah his wife, and there I buried Leah,

¹⁶ What are thou doing here? And whom have thou here, that thou have hewed thee out here a sepulcher? Hewing him out a sepulcher on high, carving a habitation for himself in the rock!

⁴ And LORD said to him, Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark upon the foreheads of the men who sigh and who cry over all the abominations that are done in the midst of it.

⁶ Sigh therefore, thou son of man. With the breaking of thy loins and with bitterness thou shall sigh before their eyes.

⁶⁰ and laid it in his own new sepulcher, which he hewed out in the rock. And having rolled a great stone to the door of the sepulcher, he departed.

⁶⁶ And having gone, they made the tomb secure, with the security having sealed the stone.

¹² And having sighed deeply in his spirit, he says, Why does this generation seek a sign? Truly I am telling you if a sign will be given to this generation.

⁴⁶ And having bought fine linen, and having taken him down, he wrapped him in the linen, and laid him in a sepulcher, being that which had been hewn out of rock. And he rolled a stone to the door of the sepulcher.

² And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulcher.

¹ Now on the first day of the week Mary Magdalene comes early, while it was still darkness, to the sepulcher, and sees the stone taken away from the sepulcher.

¹⁹ In the sweat of thy face thou shall eat bread, till thou return to the ground, for out of it thou were taken. For thou are dust, and to dust thou shall return.

⁴ I am a stranger and a sojourner with you. Give me a possession of a burying place with you, that I may bury my dead out of my sight.

⁷ none can by any means redeem his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him

⁹ that he should still live always, that he should not see corruption.

¹⁴ They are appointed as a flock for Sheol. Death shall be their shepherd, and the upright shall have dominion over them in the morning. And their beauty shall be for Sheol to consume, that there be no habitation for it.

³ And they said to themselves, Who will roll away the stone for us from the door of the sepulcher?

¹⁷ So when Jesus came, he found him already four days being kept in the sepulcher.

²⁷ Because thou will not leave my soul in Hades, nor will thou give thy Holy man to see decay.

³⁶ For indeed David, who served his own generation in the plan of God, became asleep, and was added near his fathers, and saw decay.

²¹ who will transform the body of our lowliness, in order for it to become similar in form to the body of his glory, according to the working of his power even to subject all things to himself.

²⁰ And they rose early in the morning, and went forth into the wilderness of Tekoa. And as they went forth, Jehoshaphat stood and said, Hear me, O Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem. Believe in LORD your God, so shall ye be established. Believe his prophets, so shall ye prosper.

² So I have looked upon thee in the sanctuary to see thy power and thy glory.

¹⁶ Let thy work appear to thy servants, and thy glory upon their sons.

¹⁴ And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us. And we beheld his glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth.

²³ Jesus says to her, Thy brother will rise. ²⁴ Martha says to him, I know that he will rise in the resurrection at the last day. ²⁵ Jesus said to her, I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me, even though he died, he will live. ²⁶ And every man who lives and believes in me will, no, not die, into the age. Do thou believe this?

⁴¹ Isaiah said these things when he saw his glory, and spoke about him.

¹⁷ (as it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations), before him whom he believed, of God who makes the dead alive, and who calls things not existing, as existing. ¹⁸ Who, against hope, believed in hope, in order for him to become father of many nations according to that which was spoken, So thy seed will be. ¹⁹ And not being weak in faith he did not regard his body, which was now deadened (being about a hundred years old), and the deadness of Sarah's womb. ²⁰ And he did not waver in unbelief at the promise of God, but became strong in faith, giving glory to God, ²¹ and being fully assured that what he promised, he was able also to perform. ²² And therefore it was reckoned to him for righteousness. ²³ Now it was not written because of him alone that it was imputed to him, ²⁴ but also because of us to whom it is going to be imputed, to those who believe in him who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead, ²⁵ who was delivered up for our offenses, and was raised up for our justification.

¹⁸ But we all, with unveiled face seeing by reflection the glory of the Lord, are transformed into the same likeness from glory to glory, just as from the Spirit of the Lord.

⁶ Because it is God who said, Out of darkness light is to shine, who shone in our hearts for an enlightenment of the knowledge of the glory of God in the presence of Jesus Christ.

¹ To thee do I lift up my eyes, O thou who sit in the heavens.

²⁵ Jesus having responded at that time, said, I extol thee, O Father, Lord of the heaven and the earth, because thou hid these things from the wise and intelligent, and revealed them to the childlike.

²¹ In the same hour Jesus rejoiced in the Spirit, and said, I thank thee, Father, Lord of the heaven and the earth, that thou hid these things from the wise and astute, and revealed them to the childlike. Yea, Father, because it became pleasing this way in thy sight.

¹³ But the tax collector, having stood from afar, would not even lift his eyes to the sky, but beat upon his breast, saying, God, be thou merciful to me a sinful man.

²⁸ Father, glorify thy name. A voice therefore came out of heaven, saying, I both glorified it, and I will glorify again. ²⁹ The multitude therefore that stood by and heard, said thunder occurred, others said, An agent has spoken to him. ³⁰ Jesus answered and said, This voice occurred not for my sake, but for your sakes.

⁶ Be anxious about nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thankfulness make your requests known to God.

²² Then a blind and mute man being demon possessed, was brought to him. And he healed him, so as for the blind and mute man both to speak and to see. ²³ And all the multitudes were amazed, and said, Is this not the son of David? ²⁴ But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, This man does not cast out demons, except by Beelzebub the ruler of the demons.

¹⁷ For God sent the Son into the world not that he might condemn the world, but that the world might be saved through him.

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

²⁸ Jesus therefore cried out in the temple, teaching and saying, Ye both know me, and know where I am from? And I have not come of myself, but he who sent me is true, whom ye know not. ²⁹ I know him, because I am from him, and he sent me.

¹⁶ But even if I judge, my judgment is valid, because I am not alone, but I and the Father who sent me.

²⁹ And he who sent me is with me. The Father has not left me alone, because I always do things pleasing to him.

⁴² Therefore Jesus said to them, If God were your Father, ye would love me, for I came forth and have come from God. For, neither have I come for myself, but he sent me.

²⁴ So they called the man who was blind, for a second time, and said to him, Give glory to God. We know that this man is sinful. ²⁵ That man therefore answered and said, If he is sinful, I know not. One thing I know, that being blind, now I see. ²⁶ But again they said to him, What did he do to thee? How did he open thine eyes? ²⁷ He answered them, I told you already, and ye did not listen. Why do ye want to hear it again? Do ye not also want to become his disciples? ²⁸ They reviled him, and said, Thou are a disciple of that man, but we are disciples of Moses. ²⁹ We know that God has spoken to Moses, but this man, we know not where he is from. ³⁰ The man answered and said to them, For in this it is amazing, that ye know not where he is from, and yet he opened my eyes. ³¹ And we know that God does not listen to sinners, but if any man is a worshiper of God, and does his will, he listens to this man. ³² From the age, it was not heard that any man opened the eyes of a man who was born blind. ³³ If this man were not from God, he could do nothing. ³⁴ They answered and said to him, Thou were born entirely in sins, and thou teach us? And they cast him outside.

³⁶ whom the Father made holy and sent into the world, do ye say, Thou blaspheme, because I said, I am the Son of God? ³⁷ If I am not doing the works of my Father, do not believe me. ³⁸ But if I am doing them, even though ye do not believe me, believe the works, that ye may know and believe that the Father is in me, and I in him.

²² But I know even now that as many things as thou may ask of God, God will give to thee.

⁴⁵ Therefore many of the Jews who came to Mary, and who saw what Jesus did, believed in him. ⁴⁶ But some of them went away to the Pharisees, and told them what things Jesus did. ⁴⁷ Therefore the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered a council, and said, What are we doing? Because this man does many signs. ⁴⁸ If we allow him this way, all men will believe in him, and the Romans will come and take away both our place and the nation. ⁴⁹ And a certain one of them, Caiaphas, being high priest that year, said to them, Ye know nothing at all, ⁵⁰ nor do ye consider that it is expedient for us that one man should die for the people, and not the whole nation should perish.

²⁷ Now is my soul troubled, and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour. But because of this I came to this hour.

⁸ Because the sayings that thou gave to me, I gave to them. And they received them, and knew truly that I came forth from thee, and they believed that thou sent me.

²¹ so that they may all be one, just as thou, Father, are in me, and I in thee, that they also may be in us, so that the world may believe that thou sent me.

²⁵ And righteous Father, the world does not know thee, but I know thee, and these know that thou sent me.

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.

³ For the impotence of the law, in that it was weak because of the flesh, God, having sent his own Son in a form of flesh of sin, and concerning sin, condemned sin in the flesh,

⁴ But when the fullness of the time came, God sent forth his Son, born from a woman, born under law,

⁷ Who, in the days of his flesh, having offered up both prayers and supplications with strong shouting and tears to him who was able to save him from death, and who was heard because of his reverence,

²⁵ Whereupon he is able also to save to the uttermost those who come to God through him, being always alive in order to intercede on their behalf.

¹⁴ And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent the Son, a Savior of the world.

²¹ And he stretched himself upon the child three times, and cried to LORD, and said, O LORD my God, I pray thee, let this child's soul come into him again. ²² And LORD hearkened to the voice of Elijah, and the soul of the child came into him again, and he revived.

³³ He went in therefore, and shut the door upon the two of them, and prayed to LORD. ³⁴ And he went up, and lay upon the child, and put his mouth upon his mouth, and his eyes upon his eyes, and his hands upon his hands. And he stretched himself upon him, and the flesh of the child grew warm. ³⁵ Then he returned, and walked in the house once to and fro, and went up, and stretched himself upon him. And the child sneezed seven times, and the child opened his eyes. ³⁶ And he called Gehazi, and said, Call this Shunammite. So he called her. And when she came in to him, he said, Take up thy son.

⁴¹ And they feared a great fear, and said to each other, Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea also obey him?

⁶ But Peter said, No silver and gold exists to me, but what I have, this I give thee. In the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, rise up and walk.

¹² And Peter having seen, he responded to the people, Men, Israelites, why do ye marvel at this man? Or why do ye stare at us, as by our own power or piety we have made him to walk?

³⁴ And Peter said to him, Aeneas, Jesus the Christ heals thee. Arise and make thy bed. And straightaway he arose.

⁴⁰ But Peter, having sent them all out, having knelt down, he prayed. And having turned to the body, he said, Tabitha, arise. And the woman opened her eyes. And when she saw Peter, she sat up.

³ And God said, Let there be light, and there was light.

⁶ LORD kills, and makes alive. He brings down to Sheol, and brings up.

⁹ For he spoke, and it was done. He commanded, and it stood fast.

⁴³ And he commanded them much that no man should know this. And he said to give her to eat.

¹⁵ And the dead man sat up, and began to speak. And he gave him to his mother.

²⁵ Truly, truly, I say to you, that an hour comes, and now is, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear will live.

³⁰ I and the Father are one.

⁴⁰ So they took the body of Jesus, and wrapped it in linen cloths with the spices, just as is the custom of the Jews to bury.

⁵ And after stooping down, he sees the linen cloths lying, yet he entered not.

⁷ and the face cloth that was on his head, not lying with the linen cloths, but wrapped up in one place separately.

⁹ And a certain young man named Eutychus sitting in the window, being carried away by deep sleep (Paul discoursing on more), being carried away by sleep, he fell down below from the third floor, and was taken up dead. ¹⁰ But Paul having come down, he fell on him, and having embraced him he said, Be not troubled, for his life is in him. ¹¹ And after getting up, and having broken bread and eaten, and having conversed for a considerable time, until dawn, thus he departed. ¹² And they brought the boy alive, and were not a little comforted.

¹⁸ and he who lives. And I became dead, and behold, I am living into the ages of the ages. Truly. And I have the keys of death and of Hades.

²³ Now when he was in Jerusalem at the Passover during the feast, many believed in his name seeing his signs that he did.

³¹ But many from the crowd believed in him, and they said, When the Christ comes, will he do more signs than these that this man did?

⁴¹ And many came to him, and they said, John indeed did not one sign, but all, as many things as John spoke about this man, were true.

⁹ Therefore a great multitude of the Jews knew that he is there. And they came, not only because of Jesus, but that they might also see Lazarus whom he had raised from the dead. ¹⁰ But the chief priests decided that they should kill Lazarus also, ¹¹ since because of him many of the Jews were going and were believing in Jesus.

¹⁷ Therefore the multitude, the one that was with him when he called Lazarus from the sepulcher, and raised him from the dead, testified. ¹⁸ Also because of this the multitude met him, because they heard of him doing this sign. ¹⁹ The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, Do ye see that ye accomplish nothing. Behold, the world has gone after him.

⁴² Yet, nevertheless, even many of the rulers believed in him, but because of the Pharisees they did not confess, so that they would not become excommunicated from the synagogue,

³⁰ And he said, No, father Abraham, but if some man would go to them from the dead they will repent. ³¹ And he said to him, If they do not listen to Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded if some man would rise from the dead.

¹⁵ The man departed and reported to the Jews that Jesus is the man who made him well. ¹⁶ And because of this the Jews persecuted Jesus, and sought to kill him, because he did these things on a sabbath.

¹³ They brought him to the Pharisees-the former blind man.

³⁷ But although having done so many signs before them, they did not believe in him,

²⁵ But a certain man who arrived, reported to them, Behold, the men whom ye put in the prison are standing in the temple and teaching the people.

² The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against LORD, and against his anointed, saying, ³ Let us break their bonds apart, and cast away their cords from us. ⁴ He who sits in the heavens will laugh. The Lord will have them in derision.

²² But I say to you, that every man who is angry at his brother without cause will be liable to the judgment, and whoever speaks an insult to his brother will be liable to the council, and whoever says, Foolish man, will be liable to the hell of fire.

³ Then the chief priests, and the scholars, and the elders of the people, assembled together to the courtyard of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas,

¹ But having become morning, all the chief priests and the elders of the people held consultation against Jesus in order to condemn him to death. ² And having bound him, they led him away and delivered him to Pontius Pilate the governor.

¹ Now after two days was the Passover and the unleavened bread. And the chief priests and the scholars sought how, having take him with trickery, they might kill him,

² And the chief priests and the scholars sought how they might kill him, for they feared the people.

⁵⁷ Now also the chief priests and the Pharisees had given commandment, that if any man knew where he is, he should disclose it, so that they might take him.

¹⁹ The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, Do ye see that ye accomplish nothing. Behold, the world has gone after him.

⁵ And it came to pass on the morrow, to be assembled in Jerusalem, their rulers, and elders, and scholars, ⁶ and Annas the high priest, and Caiaphas, and John, and Alexander, and as many as were of the high priestly family.

¹⁶ saying, What will we do to these men? For that indeed a notable sign has happened by them, is apparent to all who dwell in Jerusalem, and we cannot deny it. ¹⁷ But that it may not spread on further among the people, let us threaten them with threats to speak no longer in this name, to not one man.

²⁷ For in truth, against thy holy Boy Jesus, whom thou anointed, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and the peoples of Israel, were gathered together, ²⁸ to do as many things as thy hand and thy purpose predetermined to happen.

²¹ And having heard, they entered into the temple at early morning, and taught. But the high priest having arrived, and those with him, they called the council together, and all the senate of the sons of Israel. And they sent to the prison for them to be brought.

²⁴ Now when they heard these words, the high priest, and the captain of the temple, and the chief priests, were perplexed about them, whatever this would become.

⁵⁰ a nation of fierce countenance, that shall not regard the person of the old, nor show favor to the young, ⁵¹ and shall eat the fruit of thy cattle, and the fruit of thy ground, until thou be destroyed, that also shall not leave thee grain, new wine, or oil, the increase of thy cattle, or the young of thy flock, until they have caused thee to perish. ⁵² And they shall besiege thee in all thy gates, until thy high and fortified walls come down, in which thou trusted, throughout all thy land. And they shall besiege thee in all thy gates throughout all thy land, which LORD thy God has given thee. ⁵³ And thou shall eat the fruit of thine own body, the flesh of thy sons and of thy daughters, whom LORD thy God has given thee, in the siege and in the distress with which thine enemies shall distress thee. ⁵⁴ The man who is tender among you, and very delicate, his eye shall be evil toward his brother, and toward the wife of his bosom, and toward the remnant of his sons whom he has remaining, ⁵⁵ so that he will not give to any of them of the flesh of his sons whom he shall eat, because he has nothing left to him, in the siege and in the distress with which thine enemy shall distress thee in all thy gates. ⁵⁶ The tender and delicate woman among you, who would not adventure to set the sole of her foot upon the ground for delicateness and tenderness, her eye shall be evil toward the husband of her bosom, and toward her son, and toward her daughter, ⁵⁷ and toward her young one who comes out from between her feet, and toward her sons whom she shall bear, for she shall eat them secretly for want of all things, in the siege and in the distress with which thine enemy shall distress thee in thy gates. ⁵⁸ If thou will not observe to do all the words of this law that are written in this book, that thou may fear this glorious and fearful name, JEHOVAH THY GOD, ⁵⁹ then LORD will make thy calamities extraordinary, and the calamities of thy seed, even great calamities and of long continuance, and severe sicknesses and of long continuance. ⁶⁰ And he will bring upon thee again all the diseases of Egypt, which thou were afraid of, and they shall cling to thee. ⁶¹ Also every sickness, and every calamity, which is not written in the book of this law, them LORD will bring upon thee, until thou be destroyed. ⁶² And ye shall be left few in number, whereas ye were as the stars of heaven for multitude, because thou did not hearken to the voice of LORD thy God. ⁶³ And it shall come to pass, that, as LORD rejoiced over you to do you good, and to multiply you, so LORD will rejoice over you to cause you to perish, and to destroy you. And ye shall be plucked from off the land where thou go in to possess it. ⁶⁴ And LORD will scatter thee among all peoples, from the one end of the earth even to the other end of the earth. And there thou shall serve other gods, which thou have not known, thou nor thy fathers, even wood and stone. ⁶⁵ And among these nations thou shall find no ease, and there shall be no rest for the sole of thy foot, but LORD will give thee there a trembling heart, and failing of eyes, and pining of soul. ⁶⁶ And thy life shall hang in doubt before thee, and thou shall fear night and day, and shall have no assurance of thy life. ⁶⁷ In the morning thou shall say, Would it were evening! and at evening thou shall say, Would it were morning! for the fear of thy heart which thou shall fear, and for the sight of thine eyes which thou shall see. ⁶⁸ And LORD will bring thee into Egypt again with ships, by the way of which I said to thee, Thou shall see it no more again. And there ye shall sell yourselves to your enemies for bondmen and for bondwomen, and no man shall buy you.

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. ²⁷ And he shall make a firm covenant with many for one week. And in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease. And upon the wing of abominations shall come one who makes desolate. And even to the full end, and that determined, wrath shall be poured out upon the desolate.

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. ⁸ And it shall come to pass, that in all the land, says LORD, two parts therein shall be cut off and die, but the third shall be left in it.

¹ Behold, a day of LORD comes when thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee. ² For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle. And the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished, and half of the city shall go forth into captivity. And the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city.

⁴⁰ When therefore the lord of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those farmers? ⁴¹ They say to him, Evil men, he will miserably destroy them, and will lease out the vineyard to other farmers, who will render him the fruits in their seasons. ⁴² Jesus says to them, Did ye never read in the scriptures, The stone that those who build rejected, this came to be in the head of the corner. This happened from the Lord, and it is marvelous in our eyes?

⁷ But having heard that, the king was angry, and having sent forth his armies, he destroyed those murderers, and burned their city.

³⁵ so that upon you may come all the righteous blood shed on the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zachariah son of Barachiah, whom ye murdered between the sanctuary and the altar. ³⁶ Truly I say to you, that all these things will come upon this generation. ³⁷ O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, who kills the prophets, and stones those who have been sent to her. How often I wanted to gathered thy children together the way a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and ye would not. ³⁸ Behold, your house is left to you desolate.

²⁵ And having answered, all the people said, His blood be on us, and on our children.

¹² And those by the way are those who hear, then the devil comes, and takes away the word from their heart, lest having believed, they would be saved.

⁵² Woe to you lawyers! Because ye took away the key of knowledge. Ye did not enter in yourselves, and ye hindered those who were entering in.

⁴¹ And when he came near, having seen the city, he wept over it, ⁴² saying, If thou knew, even thou, indeed even in this thy day, the things for thy peace. But now they are hidden from thine eyes. ⁴³ Because the days will come upon thee, and thine enemies will build a barricade around thee, and will surround thee, and enclose thee on every side. ⁴⁴ And they will raze thee and thy children within thee. And they will not leave in thee a stone upon a stone, because thou knew not the time of thy visitation.

²⁰ But when ye see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then know that the desolation of it has come near. ²¹ Then let those in Judea flee to the mountains, and let those in the midst of it depart out, and let not those in the rural areas enter into it. ²² Because these are days of vengeance to fulfill all things that are written. ²³ But woe to those who have in the womb, and to those who suckle in those days. For there will be great distress upon the land, and wrath to this people. ²⁴ And they will fall by the jaw of the sword, and will be led away captive into all the nations. And Jerusalem will be trampled down by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.

²⁸ But having turning to them, Jesus said, Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, instead weep for yourselves and for your children. ²⁹ Because, behold, the days are coming, during which they will say, Blessed are the barren, and the bellies that gave no birth, and the breasts that did not suckle. ³⁰ Then they will begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us, and to the hills, Cover us. ³¹ Because if they do these things in the green tree, what will happen in the dry?

⁷ This man came for testimony so that he might testify about the light, so that all might believe through him.

²⁸ saying, Did we not command by an order for you not to teach in this name? And behold, ye have filled Jerusalem of your doctrine, and intend to bring upon us this man's blood.

³⁸ And now I say to you, keep away from these men, and let them go, because if the project or this work is from men, it will be overthrown, ³⁹ but if it is from God, ye cannot overthrow it, and perhaps ye may be found to be fighting against God. ⁴⁰ And they were persuaded by him. And after summoning the apostles, having beat them, they commanded them not to speak in the name of Jesus, and released them.

¹⁵ The men who both killed the Lord Jesus and their own prophets, and who persecuted us, and are not pleasing to God, and are contrary to all men. ¹⁶ Forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles so that they might be saved, in order to fill up their sins always. But wrath came upon them finally.

¹² See thou a man wise in his own conceit? There is more hope for a fool than of him.

²⁰ Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil, who put darkness for light, and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! ²¹ Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight! ²² Woe to those who are mighty to drink wine, and men of strength to mingle strong drink, ²³ who justify the wicked for rewards, and take away the justice of the righteous man from him!

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.

⁴⁸ Have any of the rulers believed in him, or of the Pharisees? ⁴⁹ But this multitude that does not know the law are accursed.

⁵¹ Now he said this not from himself, but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus was going to die for the nation.

¹³ and led him away first to Annas. For he was father-in-law of Caiaphas, who was high priest that year. ¹⁴ Now Caiaphas was the man who counseled the Jews that it was expedient for one man to die on behalf of the people.

⁶ and Annas the high priest, and Caiaphas, and John, and Alexander, and as many as were of the high priestly family.

²⁰ Where is a wise man? Where is a scholar? Where is a researcher of this age? Did not God make foolish the wisdom of this world?

⁶ But we speak wisdom among the fully developed, but not a wisdom of this age, nor of the rulers of this age who come to nothing.

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. ¹⁹ For the wisdom of this world is foolishness before God. For it is written, He who catches the wise in their craftiness,

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,

⁴⁸ If we allow him this way, all men will believe in him, and the Romans will come and take away both our place and the nation.

¹⁴ Now Caiaphas was the man who counseled the Jews that it was expedient for one man to die on behalf of the people.

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.

⁸ and not (as we are slandered, and as some affirm us to say) that we may do evil so that good things may come (whose condemnation is just)?

³⁰ And thou shall put in the breastplate of judgment the Urim and the Thummim, and they shall be upon Aaron's heart, when he goes in before LORD. And Aaron shall bear the judgment of the sons of Israel upon his heart before LORD continually.

²⁸ And LORD opened the mouth of the donkey, and she said to Balaam, What have I done to thee, that thou have smitten me these three times?

² And Balaam lifted up his eyes, and he saw Israel dwelling according to their tribes, and the Spirit of God came upon him.

¹⁴ And now, behold, I go to my people. Come, I will advise thee what this people shall do to thy people in the latter days. ¹⁵ And he took up his oracle, and said, Balaam the son of Beor says, and the man whose eye was closed says, ¹⁶ he says who hears the words of God, and knows the knowledge of the Most High, who sees the vision of the Almighty, falling down, and having his eyes open: ¹⁷ I see him, but not now. I behold him, but not near. There shall come forth a star out of Jacob, and a scepter shall rise out of Israel, and shall smite through the corners of Moab, and break down all the sons of tumult. ¹⁸ And Edom shall be a possession, Seir also shall be a possession, who were his enemies, while Israel does valiantly. ¹⁹ And out of Jacob shall come he who shall have dominion, and shall destroy the remnant from the city. ²⁰ And he looked on Amalek, and took up his oracle, and said, Amalek was the first of the nations, but his latter end shall come to destruction. ²¹ And he looked on the Kenite, and took up his oracle, and said, Strong is thy dwelling-place, and thy nest is set in the rock. ²² Nevertheless Kain shall be wasted, until Asshur shall carry thee away captive. ²³ And he took up his oracle, and said, Alas, who shall live when God does this? ²⁴ But ships shall come from the coast of Kittim, and they shall afflict Asshur, and shall afflict Eber, and he also shall come to destruction. ²⁵ And Balaam rose up, and went and returned to his place, and Balak also went his way.

²⁷ And the sons of Israel asked of LORD (for the ark of the covenant of God was there in those days, ²⁸ and Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron, stood before it in those days), saying, Shall I yet again go out to battle against the sons of Benjamin my brother, or shall I cease? And LORD said, Go up, for tomorrow I will deliver him into thy hand.

⁹ And David knew that Saul was devising mischief against him, and he said to Abiathar the priest, Bring here the ephod.

⁶ And when Saul inquired of LORD, LORD answered him not, neither by dreams, nor by Urim, nor by prophets.

⁵ But he was wounded for our transgressions. He was bruised for our iniquities. The chastisement of our peace was upon him, and with his stripes we are healed. ⁶ All we like sheep have gone astray. We have turned every one to his own way, and LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all. 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?

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.

²² Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy by thy name, and by thy name cast out demons, and by thy name do many mighty works? ²³ And then I will profess to them, I never acknowledged you. Depart from me, ye who work lawlessness.

²⁸ Just as the Son of man came not to be served, but to serve, and to give his life a ransom for many.

¹⁵ Just as the Father knows me, I also know the Father, and I lay down my life for the sheep.

²⁵ whom God set forth an expiatory sacrifice through faith in his blood, for proof of his justice, because of the passing over of the sins that have formerly occurred ²⁶ (in the forbearance of God), for proof of his justice at the present time, for him to be righteous, and who makes the man from Jesus' faith righteous.

² And if I have prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith so as to remove mountains, and have not love, I am nothing.

²¹ For the man who knew no sin was made sin on our behalf, so that we might become the righteousness of God in him.

¹³ Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us. For it is written, Cursed is every man who hangs on a tree.

⁴ But when the fullness of the time came, God sent forth his Son, born from a woman, born under law, ⁵ so that he might redeem those under law, so that we might receive the sonship.

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.

¹⁸ Because Christ also once suffered for sins, a righteous man for unrighteous men, so that he might bring you to God. Having indeed been killed in flesh, but made alive in spirit,

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.

¹⁰ The scepter shall not depart from Judah, nor the ruler's staff from between his feet, until he comes to whom it belongs, and to him shall the obedience of the peoples be.

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.

²⁷ All the ends of the earth shall remember and turn to LORD, and all the kinfolk of the nations shall worship before thee.

¹⁹ And blessed be his glorious name forever. And let the whole earth be filled with his glory. Truly, and Truly.

²² when the peoples are gathered together, and the kingdoms, to serve LORD. ²³ He weakened my strength in the way. He shortened my days.

¹⁰ And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse, and he who arises to rule over the Gentiles. In him shall the Gentiles hope, and his resting-place shall be glorious. ¹¹ And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord will set his hand again the second time to recover the remnant of his people, who shall remain, from Assyria, and from Egypt, and from Pathros, and from Cush, and from Elam, and from Shinar, and from Hamath, and from the islands of the sea. ¹² And he will set up an ensign for the nations, and will assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth.

⁶ yea, he says, It is too light a thing that thou should be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the preserved of Israel. I will also give thee for a light to the Gentiles, that thou may be my salvation to the end of the earth.

¹⁸ Lift up thine eyes round about, and behold. All these gather themselves together, and come to thee. As I live, says LORD, thou shall surely clothe thee with them all, as with an ornament, and gird thyself with them, like a bride.

⁵ Behold, thou shall call a nation that thou do not know. And a nation that does not know thee shall run to thee because of LORD thy God, and for the Holy One of Israel, for he has glorified thee.

⁸ The lord LORD, who gathers the outcasts of Israel, says, Yet I will gather to him, besides his own who are gathered.

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.

¹⁶ Therefore say, Thus says the lord LORD: Whereas I have removed them far off among the nations, and whereas I have scattered them among the countries, yet I will be to them a sanctuary for a little while in the countries where they have come. ¹⁷ Therefore say, Thus says the lord LORD. I will gather you from the peoples, and assemble you out of the countries where ye have been scattered, and I will give you the land of Israel.

¹² As a shepherd seeks out his flock, in the day that he is among his sheep that are scattered abroad, so I will seek out my sheep, and I will deliver them out of all places where they have been scattered in the cloudy and dark day.

¹⁰ Yet the number of the sons of Israel shall be as the sand of the sea, which cannot be measured nor numbered. And it shall come to pass that, in the place where it was said to them, Ye are not my people, it shall be said to them, The sons of the living God.

³¹ But when the Son of man comes in his glory, and all the holy agents with him, then he will sit on the throne of his glory. ³² And all the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate them from each other, as the shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. ³³ And he will truly place the sheep at his right hand, but the goats at the left. ³⁴ Then the King will say to those at his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.

³² a light for enlightenment of Gentiles, and glory of thy people Israel.

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!

¹⁶ And I have other sheep that are not of this fold. I must bring those also, and they will hear my voice. And there will become one flock, one shepherd.

³² And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, I will draw all men to myself.

¹⁰ because I am with thee, and no man will lay upon thee to harm thee, because many people are for me in this city.

²⁹ Or is God of Jews only and not also of Gentiles? Yes, of Gentiles also,

²⁹ Because whom he foreknew, he also predestined to be of similar nature of the form of his Son, in order for him to be the firstborn son among many brothers. ³⁰ And whom he predestined, these he also called, and whom he called, these he also made righteous, and whom he made righteous, these he also glorified.

²⁵ As also he says in Hosea, I will call those not my people, my people, and her who was not beloved, beloved. ²⁶ And it will be in the place where it was said to them, Ye are not my people, there they will be called, sons of the living God.

⁵ Who predestined us for sonship through Jesus Christ for himself, according to the desire of his will,

⁹ Having made known to us the mystery of his will according to his desire, which he purposed within himself ¹⁰ for an administration of the fullness of the times. To gather together all things in the Christ, things in the heavens and things upon the earth,

¹⁴ For he is our peace, who made both one, and broke down the dividing wall of partition, ¹⁵ having abolished in his flesh the enmity-the law of the commandments in ordinances-so that he might create in himself the two into one new man, making peace, ¹⁶ and might reconcile them both in one body to God through the cross, having slain the enmity by it. ¹⁷ And after coming he preached good news, peace to you, to those far off and to those near, ¹⁸ because through him we both have the access in one Spirit to the Father. ¹⁹ So then ye are no more alien and foreign, but fellow citizens of the sanctified, and belonging to the household of God. ²⁰ Which was built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the chief corner, ²¹ in whom the whole building joined together grows into a holy temple in the Lord, ²² in whom ye also are built together in Spirit into a habitation of God.

¹¹ according to the purpose of the ages, which he made in Christ Jesus our Lord,

²⁰ and through him to reconcile all things to himself, having made peace through the blood of his cross, through him whether things upon the earth or things in the heavens. ²¹ And you, being formerly alienated and hostile in mind, in works, in things evil. But now he has reconciled ²² in the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblemished and unblameable before him. ²³ If ye truly continue in the faith, founded, and steadfast, and not moved away from the hope of the good news that ye heard, which was proclaimed in all creation under heaven, of which I Paul became a helper.

¹³ But we are indebted to express thanks to God always about you, brothers, beloved by the Lord, because God chose you from the beginning for salvation, in sanctification of spirit and belief of truth, ¹⁴ for which he called you, through our good news, for an acquired possession of glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

¹ James, a bondman of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes in the Dispersion, greeting.

¹ Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the chosen who are sojourners of the Dispersion of Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia,

² And he is the atonement for our sins, and not for ours only, but also for the whole world.

⁹ And they sing a new song, saying, Thou are worthy to take the book and to open the seals of it, because thou were killed and purchased us from God by thy blood, out of every tribe, and tongue, and people, and nation.

⁹ After these things, I looked and lo, a great multitude, which none could number, out of every nation, and tribes and peoples and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, and palms in their hands, ¹⁰ and crying out in a great voice, saying, Salvation is in our God who sits upon the throne, and in the Lamb!

¹⁶ And it came to pass from that time forth, that half of my servants labored in the work, and half of them held the spears, the shields, and the bows, and the coats of mail. And the rulers were behind all the house of Judah.

²¹ Then I testified against them, and said to them, Why do ye lodge outside the wall? If ye do so again, I will lay hands on you. From that time forth they came no more on the sabbath.

² The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against LORD, and against his anointed, saying,

¹³ For I have heard the slander of many. Fear was on every side, while they took counsel together against me. They devised to take away my life.

¹⁰ For my enemies speak concerning me, and those who watch for my soul take counsel together,

⁴ For my love they are my adversaries, but I make prayer. ⁵ And they have rewarded me evil for good, and hatred for my love.

² Blessed be the name of LORD from this time forth and for evermore.

⁴ Then the rulers said to the king, Let this man, we pray thee, be put to death, inasmuch as he weakens the hands of the men of war who remain in this city, and the hands of all the people, in speaking such words to them. For this man seeks not the welfare of this people, but the hurt.

¹⁵ Then Jeremiah said to Zedekiah, If I declare it to thee, will thou not surely put me to death? And if I give thee counsel, thou will not hearken to me.

²¹ From that time Jesus began to show his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem, and suffer many things from the elders, and chief priests, and scholars, and be killed, and the third day be raised up.

⁴⁶ And no man was able to answer him a word, nor did any man from that day dare to question him any more.

⁵⁹ Now the chief priests and the elders and the whole council sought false testimony against Jesus, so that they might put him to death,

⁶ And the Pharisees having gone out, they straightaway were making a plot with the Herodians against him, how they might destroy him.

⁴⁷ Therefore the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered a council, and said, What are we doing? Because this man does many signs.

¹⁰ But the chief priests decided that they should kill Lazarus also,

³³ And when they heard this, they were as being split with a saw, and wanted to annihilate them.

²³ And after considerable days were fulfilled, the Jews plotted to destroy him,

²³ And it came to pass after two full years, that Absalom had sheep-shearers in Baal-hazor, which is beside Ephraim, and Absalom invited all the king's sons.

¹⁹ And Abijah pursued after Jeroboam, and took cities from him, Bethel with the towns of it, and Jeshanah with the towns of it, and Ephron with the towns of it.

¹ When therefore the Lord knew that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus was making and immersing more disciples than John ² (although Jesus himself did not immerse, but his disciples), ³ he left Judea, and departed into Galilee.

¹ And after these things Jesus walked in Galilee, for he did not want to walk in Judea, because the Jews sought to kill him.

⁴ For no man does anything in secret, and he himself seeks to be in public. If thou do these things, show thyself to the world.

¹⁰ But when his brothers went up, then he also went up to the feast, not openly, but as in private.

¹³ Yet no man spoke openly about him because of fear of the Jews.

⁴⁰ And he departed again beyond the Jordan into the place where John was first immersing, and he stayed there.

²⁰ Jesus answered him, I spoke in public to the world. I always taught in a synagogue, and in the temple where the Jews always gather together, and I spoke nothing in secret.

² Then Jacob said to his household, and to all who were with him, Put away the foreign gods that are among you, and purify yourselves, and change your garments.

¹¹ And thus ye shall eat it: with your loins girded, your shoes on your feet, and your staff in your hand. And ye shall eat it in haste. It is LORD's Passover. ¹² For I will go through the land of Egypt in that night, and will smite all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast, and against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgments. I am LORD. ¹³ And the blood shall be to you for a sign upon the houses where ye are. And when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and there shall no plague be upon you to destroy you, when I smite the land of Egypt. ¹⁴ And this day shall be to you for a memorial, and ye shall keep it a feast to LORD; throughout your generations ye shall keep it a feast by an ordinance forever.

¹⁰ And LORD said to Moses, Go to the people, and sanctify them today and tomorrow, and let them wash their garments,

¹⁴ And Moses went down from the mount to the people, and sanctified the people, and they washed their garments. ¹⁵ And he said to the people, Be ready for the third day. Come not near a woman.

⁶ And there were certain men who were unclean by reason of the dead body of a man, so that they could not keep the Passover on that day. And they came before Moses and before Aaron on that day,

⁵ And he said, Peaceably; I have come to sacrifice to LORD. Sanctify yourselves, and come with me to the sacrifice. And he sanctified Jesse and his sons, and called them to the sacrifice.

¹⁷ For there were many in the assembly who had not sanctified themselves. Therefore the Levites had charge of killing the Passovers for everyone who was not clean, to sanctify them to LORD. ¹⁸ For a multitude of the people, even many of Ephraim and Manasseh, Issachar and Zebulun, had not cleansed themselves, yet they ate the Passover otherwise than it is written. For Hezekiah had prayed for them, saying, The good LORD pardon everyone ¹⁹ who sets his heart to seek God, LORD, the God of his fathers, though he be not according to the purification of the sanctuary. ²⁰ And LORD hearkened to Hezekiah, and healed the people.

¹ And when the seventh month came, and the sons of Israel were in the cities, the people gathered themselves together as one man to Jerusalem. ² Then Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and his brothers the priests, and Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and his brothers, stood up and built the altar of the God of Israel, to offer burnt offerings on it as it is written in the law of Moses the man of God. ³ And they set the altar upon its base, for fear was upon them because of the peoples of the countries. And they offered burnt offerings on it to LORD, even burnt offerings morning and evening. ⁴ And they kept the feast of tabernacles as it is written, and offered the daily burnt offerings by number according to the ordinance, as the duty of every day required. ⁵ And afterward the continual burnt offering, and the offerings of the new moons, and of all the set feasts of LORD that were consecrated, and of everyone who willingly offered a freewill offering to LORD. ⁶ From the first day of the seventh month they began to offer burnt offerings to LORD. But the foundation of the temple of LORD was not yet laid.

¹ And all the people gathered themselves together as one man into the broad place that was before the water gate. And they spoke to Ezra the scribe to bring the book of the law of Moses, which LORD had commanded to Israel. ² And Ezra the priest brought the law before the assembly, both men and women, and all who could hear with understanding, upon the first day of the seventh month. ³ And he read in it before the broad place that was before the water gate from early morning until midday, in the presence of the men and the women, and of those who could understand. And the ears of all the people were attentive to the book of the law. ⁴ And Ezra the scribe stood upon a pulpit of wood, which they had made for the purpose. And beside him stood Mattithiah, and Shema, and Anaiah, and Uriah, and Hilkiah, and Maaseiah, on his right hand, and on his left hand, Pedaiah, and Mishael, and Malchijah, and Hashum, and Hashbaddanah, Zechariah, and Meshullam. ⁵ And Ezra opened the book in the sight of all the people (for he was above all the people), and when he opened it, all the people stood up. ⁶ And Ezra blessed LORD, the great God. And all the people answered, Truly, Truly, with the lifting up of their hands. And they bowed their heads, and worshiped LORD with their faces to the ground. ⁷ Also Jeshua, and Bani, and Sherebiah, Jamin, Akkub, Shabbethai, Hodiah, Maaseiah, Kelita, Azariah, Jozabad, Hanan, Pelaiah, and the Levites, caused the people to understand the law. And the people stood in their place. ⁸ And they read in the book, in the law of God, distinctly, and they gave the sense, so that they understood the reading. ⁹ And Nehemiah, who was the governor, and Ezra the priest the scribe, and the Levites who taught the people, said to all the people, This day is holy to LORD your God; do not mourn nor weep. For all the people wept when they heard the words of the law. ¹⁰ Then he said to them, Go your way, eat fat things, and drink sweet things, and send portions to him for whom nothing is prepared. For this day is holy to our Lord; neither be ye grieved, for the joy of LORD is your strength. ¹¹ So the Levites quieted all the people, saying, Be silent, for the day is holy, neither be ye grieved. ¹² And all the people went their way to eat, and to drink, and to send portions, and to make great mirth, because they had understood the words that were declared to them.

⁵ And it was so, when the days of their feasting were completed, that Job sent and sanctified them, and rose up early in the morning, and offered burnt offerings according to the number of them all. For Job said, It may be that my sons have sinned, and renounced God in their hearts. Thus Job did continually.

⁶ I will wash my hands in innocence, so I will encompass thine altar, O LORD,

¹ And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished all these saying, he said to his disciples,

⁶ Now there were six stone water pots laying there in accordance with the purification of the Jews, containing two or three measures each.

¹³ And the Passover of the Jews was near, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

¹ After these things there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

⁴ Now the Passover, the feast of the Jews, was near.

⁸ Go ye up to this feast. I am not yet going to this feast, because my time is not yet fulfilled. ⁹ And having said these things to them, he remained in Galilee. ¹⁰ But when his brothers went up, then he also went up to the feast, not openly, but as in private.

¹ Therefore six days before the Passover Jesus came to Bethany where Lazarus was, the man who died whom he raised from the dead.

¹ Now before the feast of the Passover, Jesus, having seen that his hour has come that he would depart out of this world to his Father, having loved his own in the world, he loved them to the end.

²⁸ They lead Jesus therefore from Caiaphas to the Praetorium. And it was early, and they did not enter into the Praetorium, so that they would not be defiled, but that they might eat the Passover.

¹⁸ during which certain Jews from Asia found me purified in the temple, not with a crowd or with a tumult,

²⁸ But let a man examine himself, and let him so eat of the bread, and drink of the cup.

¹³ For if the blood of bulls and goats, and the ashes of a heifer, sprinkling those who were defiled, sanctifies for the purification of the flesh, ¹⁴ how much more the blood of Christ, who, through the eternal Spirit, offered himself unblemished to God, will cleanse your conscience from dead works in order to serve a living God?

⁸ Approach God and he will approach you. Cleanse the hands, ye sinners, and purify the hearts, ye double-minded.

¹¹ The Jews therefore sought him at the feast, and said, Where is that man?

⁷ Later after this he says to the disciples, Let us go into Judea again. ⁸ The disciples say to him, Rabbi, the Jews were now seeking to stone thee, and thou go there again.

⁴ For my love they are my adversaries, but I make prayer.

¹⁶ And because of this the Jews persecuted Jesus, and sought to kill him, because he did these things on a sabbath. ¹⁷ But Jesus answered them, My Father works until now and I work. ¹⁸ Because of this therefore the Jews sought even more to kill him, because not only did he relax the sabbath, but also he called God his own Father, making himself equal to God.

²² His parents spoke these things because they feared the Jews, for the Jews had agreed already, that if any man confessed him as Christ, he should become excommunicated from the synagogue.
