Behold, thy King comes, sitting on a donkey's colt. ¹⁶ Now his disciples did not understand these things at first, but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these were things written because of him, and they did these things to him. 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.

Because Isaiah said again, ⁴⁰ He has blinded their eyes, and has hardened their heart, so that they would not see with their eyes, and understand with their heart, and be turned, and I would heal them. ⁴¹ Isaiah said these things when he saw his glory, and spoke about 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, ⁴³ for they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God. ⁴⁴ And Jesus cried out and said, He who believes in me, believes not in me, but in him who sent me. ⁴⁵ And he who sees me sees him who sent me. ⁴⁶ I have come a light into the world, so that every man who believes in me may not remain in the darkness. ⁴⁷ And if any man hears my sayings, and will not believe, I do not judge him, for I came not so that I might judge the world, but that I might save the world. ⁴⁸ He who rejects me and does not receive my sayings, has that which judges him: the word that I spoke, that will judge him in the last day. ⁴⁹ Because I spoke not from myself, but the Father who sent me, he gave me commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak. ⁵⁰ And I know that his commandment is eternal life. Therefore what things I speak, just as the Father has said to me, so I speak.

³³ Little children, yet a little while I am with you. Ye will seek me, and as I said to the Jews, Where I go, ye cannot come, I also now say to you.

⁵ But now I go to him who sent me, and none of you asks me, Where do thou go? ⁶ But because I have spoken these things to you, sorrow has filled your heart. ⁷ Nevertheless I tell you the truth, it is expedient for you that I depart, for if I do not depart, the helper will not come to you.

⁴³ And having said these things, he cried out with a great voice, Lazarus, come out. ⁴⁴ And the man who died came forth, wrapped hands and feet with grave-clothes, and his face had been wrapped around with a face cloth.

And if thou do not well, sin crouches at the door. Its desire shall be for thee, and thou shall rule over it. ⁸ And Cain told Abel his brother. And it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and killed him. ⁹ And LORD said to Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not.

He was fed with grass like oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven, until he knew that the Most High God rules in the kingdom of men, and that he sets up over it whomever he will. ²² And thou his son, O Belshazzar, have not humbled thy heart, though thou knew all this, ²³ but have lifted up thyself against the Lord of heaven. And they have brought the vessels of his house before thee, and thou and thy lords, thy wives and thy concubines, have drunk wine from them.

And when ye find him, report to me, so that I also having come, may worship him.

¹⁶ Then Herod, when he saw that he was scorned by the wise men, was exceedingly angry, and having sent forth, he killed all the boys in Bethlehem, and in all the borders of it, from two years old and under, according to the time that he had ascertained from the wise men.

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.

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. 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. ⁵² And not for the nation only, but also that he might gather together into one the children of God who are scattered abroad. ⁵³ So from that day they consulted together so that they might kill him.

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.

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?

⁴⁵ Therefore many of the Jews who came to Mary, and who saw what Jesus did, believed in him.

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.

¹⁸ Also because of this the multitude met him, because they heard of him doing this sign.

¹⁸ If the world hates you, know that it has hated me before you. ¹⁹ If ye were of the world, the world would love its own, but because ye are not of the world (instead I chose you out of the world), because of this the world hates you. ²⁰ Remember the word that I said to you, A bondman is not greater than his lord. If they persecuted me, they will persecute you also. If they kept my word, they will keep yours also. ²¹ But all these things they will do to you because of my name, because they have not known him who sent me. ²² If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not have had sin, but now they have no excuse for their sin. ²³ He who hates me hates my Father also. ²⁴ If I had not done among them the works that no other man has done, they would not have had sin, but now they have both seen and hated both me and my Father. ²⁵ But, that the word that is written in their law may be fulfilled, They hated me without cause.

⁴⁵ But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled of envy, and contradicted the things spoken by Paul, contradicting and slandering.

¹⁴ But if ye have bitter envy and selfish ambition in your heart, do not boast, and do not lie against the truth. ¹⁵ This wisdom is not descending from above, but is earthly, world-soul, demonic. ¹⁶ For where envy and selfish ambition are, there is instability and every evil deed.

⁴ Now all this came to pass, so that what was spoken through the prophet might be fulfilled, which says, ⁵ Say ye to the daughter of Zion, Behold, thy King comes to thee, meek, and mounted upon a donkey, and a colt the foal of a pack animal. ⁶ And the disciples having gone, and having done as Jesus commanded them, ⁷ they brought the donkey and the colt, and put their garments over them. And he sat upon them. ⁸ And the great multitude spread their garments on the road, and others cut down branches from the trees, and spread them on the road. ⁹ And the multitudes who went ahead and those who followed, cried out, saying, Hosanna to the son of David! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord. Hosanna in the highest!

⁷ And they brought the colt to Jesus, and threw their garments on it, and he sat upon it. ⁸ And many spread their garments upon the road, and others were cutting branches from the fields, and were spreading on the road. ⁹ And those who went in front, and those who came behind, cried out saying, Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! ¹⁰ Blessed is the kingdom of our father David that comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!

³⁵ And they brought it to Jesus. And having cast their garments upon the colt, they mounted Jesus. ³⁶ And as he went, they spread their garments on the road. ³⁷ And as he was now coming near, at the descent of the mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began rejoicing to praise God in a great voice about all the mighty works that they had seen, saying, ³⁸ Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven, and glory in the highest!

⁵⁵ Now the Passover of the Jews was near, and many went up to Jerusalem out of the countryside before the Passover, so that they might purify themselves. ⁵⁶ Therefore they sought Jesus, and spoke with each other as they stood in the temple, What does it seem to you? That he will, no, not come to the feast?

⁴⁰ And ye shall take to you on the first day the fruit of goodly trees, branches of palm trees, and boughs of thick trees, and willows of the brook, and ye shall rejoice before LORD your God seven days.

¹⁷ His name shall endure forever. His name shall be continued as long as the sun. And men shall be blessed in him. All nations shall call him blessed. ¹⁸ Blessed be LORD God, the God of Israel, who alone does wondrous things. ¹⁹ And blessed be his glorious name forever. And let the whole earth be filled with his glory. Truly, and Truly.

²⁵ Save now, we beseech thee, O LORD. O LORD, we beseech thee, send now prosperity. ²⁶ Blessed be he who comes in the name of LORD. We have blessed you out of the house of LORD.

⁶ Thus says LORD, the King of Israel, and his Redeemer, LORD of hosts: I am the first, and I am the last, and besides me there is no God.

⁵ Afterward the sons of Israel shall return and seek LORD their God and David their king, and shall come with fear to LORD and to his goodness in the latter days.

¹⁵ LORD has taken away thy judgments. He has cast out thine enemy. The King of Israel, even LORD, is in the midst of thee. Thou shall not fear evil any more.

⁹ And the multitudes who went ahead and those who followed, cried out, saying, Hosanna to the son of David! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord. Hosanna in the highest! ¹⁰ And when he entered into Jerusalem, all the city was shaken, saying, Who is this? ¹¹ And the multitudes said, This is Jesus, the prophet from Nazareth of Galilee.

³⁹ For I say to you, ye will, no, not see me henceforth, until ye say, Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.

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

¹⁵ Fear not, daughter of Zion. Behold, thy King comes, sitting on a donkey's colt.

¹⁵ But they cried out, Away, away, crucify him! Pilate says to them, Shall I crucify your king? The chief priests answered, We have no king except Caesar.

¹⁹ And Pilate also wrote a title, and put it on the cross. And it was written, JESUS THE NAZARENE, THE KING OF THE JEWS. ²⁰ Therefore many of the Jews read this title, because the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city, and it was written in Hebrew, in Greek, in Latin. ²¹ Therefore the chief priests of the Jews said to Pilate, Do not write, The king of the Jews, but, That man said I am king of the Jews. ²² Pilate answered, What I have written I have written.

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,

³ And they sing the song of Moses the bondman of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and marvelous are thy works, Lord God Almighty, righteous and true are thy ways, thou King of the nations.

¹⁶ And he has on his garment and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.

⁹ Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion. Shout, O daughter of Jerusalem. Behold, thy king comes to thee. He is just, and having salvation, lowly, and riding upon a donkey, even upon a colt the foal of a donkey.

¹ And when they came near to Jerusalem, and came to Bethsphage, to the mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples, ² saying to them, Go into the village opposite you, and straightaway ye will find a donkey tied, and a colt with it. Having loosed them, bring to me. ³ And if any man says anything to you, ye will say, The Lord has need of them, and straightaway he will send them. ⁴ Now all this came to pass, so that what was spoken through the prophet might be fulfilled, which says, ⁵ Say ye to the daughter of Zion, Behold, thy King comes to thee, meek, and mounted upon a donkey, and a colt the foal of a pack animal. ⁶ And the disciples having gone, and having done as Jesus commanded them, ⁷ they brought the donkey and the colt, and put their garments over them. And he sat upon them.

¹ And when they came near to Jerusalem, to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount of Olives, he sends forth two of his disciples, ² and says to them, Go ye into the village opposite you, and straightaway as ye enter into it, ye will find a colt tied, on which none of men have ever sat. After untying it, bring it. ³ And if any man should say to you, Why are ye doing this? say ye, The Lord has need of it, and straightaway he sends it here. ⁴ And they departed, and found the colt tied by the door outside in the street, and they untied it. ⁵ And some of those who stood there said to them, What are ye doing, untying the colt? ⁶ And they said to them just as Jesus commanded, and they allowed them. ⁷ And they brought the colt to Jesus, and threw their garments on it, and he sat upon it.

²⁹ And it came to pass when he came near to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount that is called Olives, he sent two of his disciples, saying, ³⁰ Go ye into the opposite village, in which, having entered, ye will find a colt tied, on which no man ever sat. Having untied, bring it. ³¹ And if any man asks you, Why do ye untie it? Thus ye will say to him, The Lord has need of it. ³² And having departed, those who were sent found just as he said to them. ³³ And as they were untying the colt, the masters of it said to them, Why do ye untie the colt? ³⁴ And they said, The Lord has need of it. ³⁵ And they brought it to Jesus. And having cast their garments upon the colt, they mounted Jesus.

¹⁶ Only he shall not multiply horses to himself, nor cause the people to return to Egypt, to the end that he may multiply horses, inasmuch as LORD has said to you, Ye shall henceforth return no more that way.

¹⁰ Tell, ye who ride on white donkeys, ye who sit on rich carpets, and ye who walk by the way.

¹⁴ And he had forty sons and thirty sons' sons who rode on seventy donkey colts, and he judged Israel eight years.

¹ And it came to pass after this, that Absalom prepared for him a chariot and horses, and fifty men to run before him.

² And the king said to Ziba, What do thou mean by these? And Ziba said, The donkeys are for the king's household to ride on, and the bread and summer fruit for the young men to eat, and the wine, that such as are faint in the wilderness may drink.

³³ And the king said to them, Take with you the servants of your lord, and cause Solomon my son to ride upon my own mule, and bring him down to Gihon.

⁴ Say to those who are of a fearful heart, Be strong, fear not. Behold, your God will come with vengeance, with the recompense of God. He will come and save you. ⁵ Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped.

⁹ O thou who tell good news to Zion, get thee up on a high mountain. O thou who tell good news to Jerusalem, lift up thy voice with strength. Lift it up, be not afraid, say to the cities of Judah, Behold, your God! ¹⁰ Behold, the lord LORD will come as a mighty one, and his arm will rule for him. Behold, his reward is with him, and his recompense before him.

¹⁴ Fear not, thou worm Jacob, and ye men of Israel. I will help thee, says LORD, and thy Redeemer is the Holy One of Israel.

¹¹ Behold, LORD has proclaimed to the end of the earth, Say ye to the daughter of Zion, Behold, thy salvation comes. Behold, his reward is with him, and his recompense before him.

⁸ And thou, O tower of the flock, the hill of the daughter of Zion, to thee it shall come. Yea, the former dominion shall come, the kingdom of the daughter of Jerusalem.

¹⁶ In that day it shall be said to Jerusalem, Fear thou not, O Zion. Let not thy hands be slack. ¹⁷ LORD thy God is in the midst of thee, a mighty one who will save. He will rejoice over thee with joy. He will rest in his love. He will joy over thee with singing.

⁹ For, behold, I will shake my hand over them, and they shall be a spoil to those who served them. And ye shall know that LORD of hosts has sent me. ¹⁰ Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion, for, lo, I come, and I will dwell in the midst of thee, says LORD. ¹¹ And many nations shall join themselves to LORD in that day, and shall be my people, and I will dwell in the midst of thee. And thou shall know that LORD of hosts has sent me to thee.

² Where is he who is born king of the Jews? For we saw his star in the east, and have come to worship him. ³ And Herod the king having heard it, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him. ⁴ And having gathered together all the chief priests and scholars of the people, he inquired of them where the Christ is born. ⁵ And they said to him, In Bethlehem of Judea. For thus it is written through the prophet, ⁶ And thou Bethlehem, land of Judah, are in no way least among the rulers of Judah, for out of thee will come forth a man who rules, who will tend my people Israel.

³² But they did not understand the saying, and were afraid to question him.

¹⁹ Therefore indeed, the Lord, after he spoke to them, was taken up into heaven, and sat down at the right hand of God.

⁴⁵ But they did not understand this saying, and it was concealed from them, so that they did not perceive it. And they were afraid to ask him about this saying.

³⁴ And they understood none of these things, and this saying was hidden from them, and they did not understand the things that were said.

⁶ He is not here, but was raised. Remember how he spoke to you when he was still in Galilee, ⁷ saying that the Son of man must be delivered up into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day to rise. ⁸ And they remembered his sayings.

²⁵ And he said to them, O foolish men, and slow of heart to believe in all that the prophets spoke.

⁴⁵ Then he opened their mind to understand the scriptures.

²² When therefore he was raised from the dead his disciples remembered that he spoke this, and they believed the scripture and the word that Jesus said.

³⁹ But he spoke this about the Spirit that those who believe in him were going to receive, for the Holy Spirit was not yet, because Jesus was not yet glorified.

²³ And Jesus answered them saying, The hour has come that the Son of man should be glorified.

³¹ When he went out, Jesus says, Now the Son of man is glorified, and God is glorified in him. ³² If God is glorify in him, God will also glorify him in himself, and he will glorify him straightaway.

²⁶ But the helper, the Holy Spirit that the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things, and will remind you of all that I said to you.

⁴ But I have told you these things, so that when the hour comes, ye may remember that I told you of them. But I did not tell you these things from the beginning because I was with you.

⁵ And now, Father, glorify thou me with thyself with the glory that I had with thee before the world was.

³³ Therefore, exalted by the right hand of God, and having received the promise of the Holy Spirit from the Father, he poured out this that ye now see and hear.

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

¹³ The God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob, the God of our fathers, has glorified his Boy Jesus, whom ye actually delivered up, and denied him in the presence of Pilate who preferred to release that man.

¹ Now a summation about the things being spoken is, we have such a high priest who was seated at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens,

² Looking to Jesus the pathfinder and perfecter of the faith, who, against the joy set before him, endured a cross, having despised the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

⁶ And men shall speak of the might of thy fearful acts, and I will declare thy greatness. ⁷ They shall utter the memory of thy great goodness, and shall sing of thy righteousness.

¹⁹ And this is the testimony of John when the Jews sent forth priests and Levites from Jerusalem so that they might ask him, Who are thou?

³² And John testified, saying, I have seen the Spirit descending like a dove out of heaven, and it remained upon him.

³⁴ And I have seen and have testified that this is the Son of God.

³⁵ That man was the lamp that burns and shines, and ye were willing to rejoice for an hour in his light. ³⁶ But I have testimony greater than of John, for the works that the Father has given me so that I might complete them, the same works that I do, they testify about me that the Father has sent me. ³⁷ And the Father, he who sent me, has testified about me.Ye have neither heard his voice, nor have ever seen his appearance. ³⁸ And ye have not his word dwelling in you, because ye do not believe that man whom he sent for this. ³⁹ Ye search the scriptures, because ye think to have eternal life in them, and those are testifying about me.

¹³ The Pharisees therefore said to him, Thou testify about thyself. Thy testimony is not valid. ¹⁴ Jesus answered and said to them, Even if I might testify about myself, my testimony is valid, for I know where I came from and where I go, but ye do not know where I come from and where I go.

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.

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.

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.

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.

²⁶ But when the helper comes whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth that proceeds from the Father, that will testify about me. ²⁷ And ye also testify, because ye have been with me from the beginning.

³⁵ And he who has seen has testified, and his testimony is true. And that man knows that he speaks true, so that ye may believe.

²⁴ This is the disciple who testifies about these things, and who wrote these things. And we know that his testimony is true.

²² having begun from the immersion of John to the day that he was taken up from us, for one of these to become a witness with us of his resurrection.

³² And we are his witnesses of these things, and also the Holy Spirit whom God has given to those who obey him.

⁹ If we accept the testimony of men, the testimony of God is greater. Because this is the testimony of God that he has testified about his Son. ¹⁰ He who believes in the Son of God has the testimony in himself. He who does not believe God has made him a liar, because he has not believed in the testimony that God has testified about his Son. ¹¹ And this is the testimony, that God gave eternal life to us, and this life is in his Son. ¹² He who has the Son has the life. He who does not have the Son of God does not have the life.

² who testified the word of God and the testimony of Jesus Christ, as many things as he saw.

¹¹ since because of him many of the Jews were going and were believing in Jesus.

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

¹ Hear this, all ye peoples. Give ear, all ye inhabitants of the world,

⁶ In days to come Jacob shall take root; Israel shall blossom and bud. And they shall fill the face of the world with fruit.

¹⁵ But when the chief priests and the scholars saw the wonderful things that he did, and the boys crying out in the temple and saying, Hosanna to the son of David, they were indignant,

⁴⁷ And he was teaching daily in the temple. But the chief priests, and the scholars sought to destroy him, even the foremost men of the people. ⁴⁸ And they did not find what they might do, for the people all hung upon him, listening.

²⁶ And they came to John, and said to him, Rabbi, he who was with thee beyond the Jordan, about whom thou have testified, behold, this man immerses, and all men come to him.

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.

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.

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 And having brought them, they placed them in the council. And the high priest demanded them, 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.

⁶ And not having found them, they dragged Jason and some brothers to the city rulers, shouting, The men who have agitated the world, these are present here also,

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

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

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.

² For, behold, darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the peoples. But LORD will arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee. ³ And nations shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising. ⁴ Lift up thine eyes round about, and see. They all gather themselves together. They come to thee. Thy sons shall come from far, and thy daughters shall be carried in the arms. ⁵ Then thou shall see and be radiant, and thy heart shall thrill and be enlarged, because the abundance of the sea shall be turned to thee. The wealth of the nations shall come to thee. ⁶ The multitude of camels shall cover thee. The dromedaries of Midian and Ephah, all those from Sheba shall come. They shall bring gold and frankincense, and shall proclaim the praises of LORD. ⁷ All the flocks of Kedar shall be gathered together to thee. The rams of Nebaioth shall minister to thee. They shall come up with acceptance on my altar, and I will glorify the house of my glory. ⁸ Who are these that fly as a cloud, and as the doves to their windows? ⁹ Surely the isles shall wait for me, and the ships of Tarshish first, to bring thy sons from far, their silver and their gold with them, for the name of LORD thy God, and for the Holy One of Israel, because he has glorified thee. ¹⁰ And foreigners shall build up thy walls, and their kings shall minister to thee. For in my wrath I smote thee, but in my favor I have had mercy on thee. ¹¹ Thy gates also shall be open continually. They shall not be shut day nor night, that men may bring to thee the wealth of the nations, and their kings led captive. ¹² For that nation and kingdom that will not serve thee shall perish. Yea, those nations shall be utterly wasted. ¹³ The glory of Lebanon shall come to thee, the fir tree, the pine, and the box tree together, to beautify the place of my sanctuary. And I will make the place of my feet glorious. ¹⁴ And the sons of those who afflicted thee shall come bending to thee. And all those who despised thee shall bow themselves down at the soles of thy feet. And they shall call thee The city of LORD, The Zion of the Holy One of Israel.

¹⁹ And I will set a sign among them, and I will send such as escape of them to the nations, to Tarshish, Pul, and Lud, that draw the bow, to Tubal and Javan, to the isles afar off, who have not heard my fame, nor have seen my glory, and they shall declare my glory among the nations. ²⁰ And they shall bring all your brothers out of all the nations for an oblation to LORD, upon horses, and in chariots, and in litters, and upon mules, and upon dromedaries, to my holy mountain Jerusalem, says LORD, as the sons of Israel bring their oblation in a clean vessel into the house of LORD. ²¹ And of them also I will take for priests and for Levites, says LORD.

²⁶ Now the woman was a Greek, a Syrophoenician by race. And she besought him that he would cast out the demon from her daughter.

³⁵ The Jews therefore said among themselves, Where is this man going to go that we will not find him? Is he going to go to the Dispersion among the Greeks, and teach the Greeks?

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

¹ And it came to pass in Iconium according to the same thing, for them to enter into the synagogue of the Jews, and to speak so as for a great quantity to believe, both of Jews and of Greeks.

¹ And he came to Derbe and to Lystra. And behold, a certain disciple was there, named Timothy, the son of a certain faithful Jewish woman, but of a Greek father,

⁴ And some of them were persuaded, and joined with Paul and Silas, and of the devout Greeks a great quantity, and of the prominent women not a few.

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

²⁸ crying out, Men, Israelites, help. This is the man who teaches all men everywhere against the people, and the law, and this place. And besides he also brought Greeks into the temple, and has defiled this holy place.

¹⁶ For I am not ashamed of the good news of Christ, for it is the power of God for salvation to every man who believes, both to the Jew first, and to the Greek.

¹² For there is no distinction of a Jew and also of a Greek, for the same Lord is of all men, being rich toward all those who call upon him.

³ But not even Titus with me, being a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised.

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

¹¹ where there is no Greek and Jew, circumcision and uncircumcision, barbarian, Scythian, bondman, freeman, but the all and in all, Christ.

² Where is he who is born king of the Jews? For we saw his star in the east, and have come to worship him.

⁹ For I also am a man 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 it. ¹⁰ And when Jesus heard it, he marveled, and said to those who followed, Truly I say to you, not even in Israel have I found such great faith. ¹¹ And I say to you, that many will come from east and west, and will sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of the heavens, ¹² but the sons of the kingdom will be cast out into the outer darkness. There will be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.

²¹ Woe to thee, Chorazin! Woe to thee, Bethsaida! Because if the mighty works that occurred in you occurred in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.

¹⁹ He will not quarrel, nor will he shout, nor will any man hear his voice in the thoroughfares. ²⁰ A bruised reed he will not break, and smoldering flax he will not quench, until he sends forth justice for victory. ²¹ And in his name Gentiles will hope.

²² And behold, a Canaanite woman having come out from those regions, cried out to him, saying, Be merciful to me, O Lord, thou son of David, my daughter is grievously demon-possessed. ²³ But he answered her not a word. And his disciples having approached, they besought him, saying, Send her away, because she cries out behind us. ²⁴ But having answered, he said, I was not sent except to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. ²⁵ But having come, she worshiped him, saying, Lord, help me. ²⁶ And having answered, he said, It is not right to take the children's bread and cast it to the house dogs. ²⁷ But she said, Yes, Lord, for even the house dogs eat of the crumbs that fall from the table of their masters. ²⁸ Then Jesus having answered, said to her, O woman, great is thy faith. Be it done for thee as thou desire. And her daughter was healed from that hour.

² And behold, a man called by name, Zacchaeus. And he was a chief tax collector, and this man was rich. ³ And he sought to see Jesus, who he was. And he was not able because of the crowd, because his stature was small. ⁴ And having ran ahead, he climbed up in a sycamore tree so that he might see him, because he was going to pass that one.

³⁶ And having looked upon Jesus walking, he says, Behold, the Lamb of God! ³⁷ And the two disciples heard him speaking, and they followed Jesus. ³⁸ And Jesus having turned, and having seen them following, says to them, What seek ye? And they said to him, Rabbi (which says, being interpreted, Teacher), where do thou dwell? 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.

⁴³ On the morrow he wanted to go forth into Galilee, and he finds Philip. And Jesus says to him, Follow me. ⁴⁴ Now Philip was from Bethsaida, of the city of Andrew and Peter. 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. ⁴⁶ And Nathanael said to him, What good can be from Nazareth? Philip says to him, Come and see. ⁴⁷ Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and says about him, Behold, an Israelite indeed, in whom is no deceit.

⁵ Jesus therefore having lifted up his eyes, and having seen that a great multitude comes to him, he says to Philip, From where will we buy loaves, so that these may eat? ⁶ But he said this testing him, for he himself knew what he was going to do. ⁷ Philip answered him, Loaves of two hundred denarii of bread are not sufficient for them, so that each of them may take a little something.

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.

⁸ Philip says to him, Lord, show us the Father, and it is enough for us. ⁹ Jesus says to him, Have I been so long a time with you, and thou do not know me, Philip? He who has seen me has seen the Father. And how can thou say, Show us the Father?

⁸ And I say, Christ Jesus became a helper of men of circumcision, for the sake of God's truth (in order to confirm the promises of the fathers), ⁹ and the Gentiles, for the sake of mercy, to glorify God, as it is written, Because of this I will give thanks to thee among Gentiles, and will sing to thy name. ¹⁰ And again he says, Rejoice, O Gentiles, with his people. ¹¹ And again, Praise ye the Lord all nations, and let all the peoples praise him. ¹² And again, Isaiah says, There will be the root of Jesse, and he who arises to reign over Gentiles. In him Gentiles will hope.

⁵ These twelve Jesus sent forth, having ordered them, saying, Go not into a way of the Gentiles, and enter not into a city of the Samaritans,

¹³ And they brought children to him, so that he would touch them. And the disciples rebuked those who were bringing them. ¹⁴ But when Jesus saw it, he was displeased, and said to them, Allow the children to come to me. Forbid them not, for of such is the kingdom of God.

⁴⁹ And having answered, John said, Master, we saw a certain man casting out demons in thy name, and we forbade him, because he does not follow with us. ⁵⁰ But Jesus said to him, Do not forbid, for he who is not against us is for us.

⁴⁰ Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, was one of the two who heard from John and who followed him. ⁴¹ This man first finds his own brother Simon, and says to him, We have found the Messiah (which is, being interpreted, Christ).

⁸ One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, says to him,

⁵ And now says LORD who formed me from the womb to be his servant, to bring Jacob again to him, and that Israel be gathered to him (for I am honorable in the eyes of LORD, and my God has become my strength), 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.

¹⁰ Yet it pleased LORD to bruise him. He has put him to grief. When thou shall make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed. He shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of LORD shall prosper in his hand. ¹¹ He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied. By the knowledge of himself shall my righteous servant justify many, and he shall bear their iniquities. ¹² Therefore I will divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong, because he poured out his soul to death, and was numbered with the transgressors. Yet he bore the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.

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.

⁹ Surely the isles shall wait for me, and the ships of Tarshish first, to bring thy sons from far, their silver and their gold with them, for the name of LORD thy God, and for the Holy One of Israel, because he has glorified thee.

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.

⁴¹ And he comes the third time, and says to them, Sleep the remaining, and take your rest. It is enough. The hour has come. Behold, the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.

¹⁶ Now his disciples did not understand these things at first, but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these were things written because of him, and they did these things to him.

¹ Jesus spoke these things, and he lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour has come. Glorify thy Son, that the Son may also glorify thee, 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. ³ And this is eternal life, that they should know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom thou sent. ⁴ I glorified thee on the earth. I finished the work which thou have given me that I should do. ⁵ And now, Father, glorify thou me with thyself with the glory that I had with thee before the world was.

⁹ I pray about them. I do not pray about the world, but about whom thou have given me, because they are for thee. ¹⁰ And all my things are thy things, and thy things are my things, and I am glorified in them.

⁹ But ye are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for an acquired possession, so that ye might broadly proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light. ¹⁰ Men formerly not a people, but now are a people of God. Men who had not obtained mercy, but who now have obtained mercy.

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.

²² I will declare thy name to my brothers. In the midst of the congregation I will praise thee. ²³ Ye who fear LORD, praise him. All ye the seed of Jacob, glorify him, and stand in awe of him, all ye the seed of Israel. ²⁴ For he has not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted, neither has he hid his face from him, but when he cried to him, he heard. ²⁵ From thee comes my praise in the great assembly. I will pay my vows before those who fear him. ²⁶ The meek shall eat and be satisfied. They shall praise LORD who seek after him. Let your heart live forever. ²⁷ All the ends of the earth shall remember and turn to LORD, and all the kinfolk of the nations shall worship before thee. ²⁸ For the kingdom is LORD's, and he is the ruler over the nations. ²⁹ All the fat ones of the earth shall eat and worship. All those who go down to the dust shall bow before him, even he who cannot keep his soul alive. ³⁰ A seed shall serve him. It shall be told of the Lord to the next generation. ³¹ They shall come and shall declare his righteousness to a people that shall be born, that he has done it.

¹⁶ There shall be abundance of grain in the earth upon the top of the mountains. The fruit of it shall shake like Lebanon. And they of the city shall flourish like grass of the earth.

³² And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, I will draw all men to myself. ³³ And he said this, signifying by what death he was going to die.

³⁶ Thou foolish man, what thou sow is not made alive unless it dies. ³⁷ And what thou sow, thou do not sow the body that it will become, but a bare grain, if it may happen of wheat, or of some other kind. ³⁸ But God gives it a body as he wills, and to each of the seeds its own body.

⁹ But we see Jesus who has been made a little something less than the agents, who, because of the suffering of death, has been crowned with glory and honor, so that by the grace of God he would taste of death for every man. ¹⁰ For it was fitting for him, through whom are all things, and because of whom are all things, having brought many sons to glory, to make the pathfinder of their salvation fully perfect through sufferings.

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! ¹¹ And all the agents had stood all around the throne, and the elders, and the four living creatures, and they fell before his throne on their faces, and worshiped God, ¹² saying, Truly! Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honor, and power, and strength, is for our God into the ages of the ages. Truly! ¹³ And one of the elders answered, saying to me, Who are these who are clothed in white robes, and where did they come from? ¹⁴ And I said to him, My lord, thou know. And he said to me, These are those coming out of the great tribulation, and they washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. ¹⁵ Because of this they are before the throne of God, and they serve him day and night in his temple. And he who sits on the throne will dwell among them. ¹⁶ They will hunger no more, nor will they thirst any more. The sun will, no, not fall upon them, nor any heat. ¹⁷ Because the Lamb in the midst of the throne will tend them, and will lead them to fountains of waters of life. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.

³⁰ And he also went in to Rachel, and also he loved Rachel more than Leah, and served with him yet seven other years. ³¹ And LORD saw that Leah was regarded inferior, and he opened her womb, but Rachel was barren. ³² And Leah conceived, and bore a son, and she called his name Reuben. For she said, Because LORD has looked upon my affliction, for now my husband will love me. ³³ And she conceived again, and bore a son, and said, Because LORD has heard that I am regarded inferior, he has therefore given me this son also. And she called his name Simeon.

¹⁷ So I hated life, because the work that is wrought under the sun was grievous to me. For all is vanity and a striving after wind.

³⁹ He who finds his life will lose it, and he who loses his life because of me will find it.

²⁵ For whoever wants save his life will lose it, and whoever will lose his life for my sake will find it.

²⁹ And every man who has forsaken houses, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, because of my name, will receive a hundredfold, and will inherit eternal life.

³⁵ For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever will lose his life because of me and the good news, this man will save it.

²³ And he said to all, If any man wants to come behind me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. ²⁴ For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever may lose his life because of me, this man will save it.

²⁶ If any man comes to me, and does not regard as inferior his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brothers, and sisters, and besides his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.

³³ Whoever will seek to save his life will lose it, and whoever will lose it will keep it alive.

²⁴ But I make nothing of the matter, nor do I hold my life precious to myself, so as to fully complete my course with joy, and the ministry that I received from the Lord Jesus, to solemnly testify the good news of the grace of God.

¹³ And Paul answered, What are ye doing, weeping and breaking my heart? For I fare ready not only to be bound, but also to die in Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.

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.

¹¹ And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony. And they loved not their life to the point of death.

²⁴ But my servant Caleb, because he had another spirit with him, and has followed me fully, him will I bring into the land into which he went, and his seed shall possess it.

¹¹ Surely none of the men who came up out of Egypt, from twenty years old and upward, shall see the land which I swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob; because they have not wholly followed me,

³⁰ Therefore LORD, the God of Israel, says, I said indeed that thy house, and the house of thy father, should walk before me forever, but now LORD says, Be it far from me, for those who honor me I will honor, and those who despise me shall be lightly esteemed.

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

¹⁵ He shall call upon me, and I will answer him. I will be with him in trouble. I will deliver him, and honor him.

¹⁸ He who keeps the fig tree shall eat the fruit of it, and he who regards his master shall be honored.

²⁴ Then Jesus said to his disciples, If any man wants to come behind me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

²¹ And his lord said to him, Well, good and faithful bondman. Thou were faithful over a few things, I will appoint thee over many things. Enter thou into the joy of thy lord.

³⁴ And having called in the multitude with his disciples, he said to them, Whoever wants to follow behind me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

⁴⁶ And why do ye call me, Lord, Lord, and not do the things that I say?

²³ And he said to all, If any man wants to come behind me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

²⁷ My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.

¹⁶ Truly, truly, I say to you, a bondman is not greater than his lord, nor is an apostle greater than he who sent him.

³ And if I go and prepare a place for you, I come again, and will take you along to myself, so that where I am, ye may be also.

¹⁵ If ye love me, keep my commandments.

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.

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

²⁴ Father, whom thou gave to me, I desire that where I am, they also may be with me, so that they may see my glory that thou have given me, because thou loved me before the foundation of the world.

²² Jesus says to him, If I want him to remain until I come, what is it to thee? Follow thou me.

¹ Paul, a bondman of Jesus Christ, a called apostle having been separated for the good news of God

¹⁸ For he who serves Christ in these things is acceptable to God, and approved by men.

⁵ For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus as Lord, and ourselves are your bondmen through Jesus.

⁸ And we are confident, and are pleased rather to be absent from the body and to be at home near the Lord.

¹⁰ For do I now trust men or God? Or do I seek to please men? For if I were still pleasing men I would not be a bondman of Christ.

¹ Become ye therefore imitators of God, as beloved children. 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.

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

²⁴ knowing that from the Lord ye will receive the reward of the inheritance, for ye serve the Lord Christ.

¹² Epaphras, the bondman of Christ from you, salutes you, always striving for you in prayers, so that ye may stand perfect and made full in all the will of God.

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.

¹ Simon Peter, a bondman and apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who have received an equally precious faith with us in the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ:

³ For this is the love of God, that we may keep his commandments. And his commandments are not burdensome.

¹ Jude, a bondman of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to the called, sanctified in God the Father, and kept for Jesus Christ:

⁴ These are men who were not defiled with women, for they are virgins. These are those who follow the Lamb wherever he goes. These were purchased by Jesus, out of men, a first fruit to God and to the Lamb.

¹ Save me, O God, for the waters have come in to my soul. ² I sink in deep mire where there is no standing. I have come into deep waters, where the floods overflow me. ³ I am weary with my crying. My throat is dried. My eyes fail while I wait for my God.

³ For my soul is full of troubles, and my life draws near to Sheol.

¹⁵ What shall I say? He has both spoken to me, and himself has done it. I shall go softly all my years because of the bitterness of my soul.

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.

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.

³⁸ Then Jesus says to them, My soul is deeply grieved, as far as of death. Remain ye here and watch with me. ³⁹ And having gone forward a little, he fell on his face praying, and saying, My Father, if it be possible, may this cup pass from me. Nevertheless, not as I want, but as thou.

⁴² Having gone again a second time, he prayed, saying, My Father, if it is not possible for this cup to pass from me, except I drink it, may thy will happen.

⁵³ Or do thou think that I cannot now call my Father, and he will provide to me more than twelve legions of agents? ⁵⁴ How then would the scriptures be fulfilled that it is necessary to happen this way?

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. ³⁶ And he said, Abba, Father, all things are possible to thee. Remove this cup from me, but not what I want, but what thou want.

⁴⁹ I came to cast fire upon the earth, and what I desire is if it were kindled already. ⁵⁰ But I have an immersion to be immersed, and how am I constrained until it will be accomplished.

⁴⁴ And having become in agony he prayed more intensely, and his sweat became like drops of blood falling down to the ground.

⁵³ When I was with you daily in the temple, ye did not stretch forth hands against me. But this is your hour, and the power of darkness.

³³ When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews who gathered with her, weeping, he groaned in the spirit, and was himself troubled. ³⁴ And he said, Where have ye laid him? They said to him, Lord, come and see. ³⁵ Jesus wept.

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.

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.

³⁷ Pilate therefore said to him, Then thou are a king? Jesus answered, Thou say that I am a king. For this I have been born, and for this I have come into the world, that I would testify to the truth. Every man who is of the truth hears my voice.

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.

¹⁴ Since therefore the children have partaken of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise shared the same things, so that through death he might make him who has the power of death impotent, that is, the devil.

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,

⁵ Therefore when he comes into the world, he says, Sacrifice and offering thou did not desire, but thou prepared for me a body. ⁶ In whole burnt offerings, and for sin thou were not pleased. ⁷ Then I said, Lo, I come (in the volume of a book it is written about me) to do thy will, O God, ⁸ saying above, Sacrifice and offering and whole burnt offerings and for sin thou did not desire, nor were thou pleased with things that are offered according to the law. ⁹ Then he said, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He takes away the first, so that he may establish the second.

³ And he said to me, Thou are my servant, Israel, in whom I will be glorified. ⁴ But I said, I have labored in vain. I have spent my strength for nothing and vanity. Yet surely the justice due to me is with LORD, and my recompense with my God. ⁵ And now says LORD who formed me from the womb to be his servant, to bring Jacob again to him, and that Israel be gathered to him (for I am honorable in the eyes of LORD, and my God has become my strength), 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. ⁷ Thus says LORD, the Redeemer of Israel, and his Holy One, to him whom man despises, to him whom the nation abhors, to a servant of rulers. Kings shall see and arise, rulers, and they shall worship, because of LORD who is faithful, even the Holy One of Israel, who has chosen thee.

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

⁵ While he was still speaking, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them. And lo, a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son in whom I am well pleased. Hear ye him.

¹¹ And a voice occurred out of the heavens, Thou are my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.

⁷ And a cloud developed overshadowing them. And a voice came out of the cloud, This is my beloved Son. Hear ye him.

³⁶ And he said, Abba, Father, all things are possible to thee. Remove this cup from me, but not what I want, but what thou want.

²² and the Holy Spirit to descend in a bodily form as a dove upon him, and a voice to occur out of heaven, saying, Thou are my beloved Son. In thee I am well pleased.

³⁵ And a voice came out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son. Hear ye him.

³ Jesus answered, Neither this man sinned, nor his parents, but that the works of God might be manifested in him.

⁴ But when Jesus heard, he said, This sickness is not about death, but for the glory of God, so that the Son of God may be glorified by it.

⁴⁰ Jesus says to her, Did I not to say thee, that if thou believed, thou will see the glory of God? 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.

¹¹ Jesus therefore said to Peter, Put up thy sword into the sheath. The cup that the Father has given me, shall I, no, not drink it?

⁷ So that in the coming ages he might show the transcending wealth of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.

¹⁰ So that now the manifold wisdom of God might be made known to the principal offices and the positions of authority in the heavenly things, through the church,

²¹ to him is the glory in the church in Christ Jesus for all generations of the age of the ages. Truly.

⁶ Being confident of this same thing, that he who began a good work in you will complete it until the day of Christ Jesus. ⁷ Just as it is right for me to think this about all of you, because I have you in my heart, both in my bonds and in the defense and confirmation of the good news, you all being partners with me of the grace. ⁸ For God is my witness, how I long for you all in bowels of Jesus Christ. ⁹ And this I pray, that your love may abound still more and more in knowledge and all discernment ¹⁰ for you to examine the things that are significant. So that ye may be tested by sunlight and not stumbling toward the day of Christ, ¹¹ having been filled with fruits of righteousness, through Jesus Christ, for glory and praise of God.

¹⁷ For having received from God the Father honor and glory from a voice of such kind brought to him from the Majestic Glory, This is my Son, the beloved in whom I am well pleased.

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. ¹⁰ And thou made them kings and priests to our God, and they will reign over the earth. ¹¹ And I looked, and I heard as a voice of many agents all around the throne and the living creatures and the elders. And the number of them was ten thousands of ten thousands, and thousands of thousands, ¹² saying with a great voice, Worthy is the Lamb that has been killed to receive the power, and wealth, and wisdom, and strength, and honor, and glory, and blessing! ¹³ And every creature that is in the heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and is in the sea, and things in them all, I heard saying, The blessing, and the honor, and the glory, and the dominion is to him who sits upon the throne, and to the Lamb, into the ages of the ages. Truly! ¹⁴ And the four living creatures were saying the Truly. And the elders fell down and worshiped.

¹⁶ And it came to pass on the third day, when it was morning, that there were thunders and lightnings, and a thick cloud upon the mount, and the voice of an exceedingly loud trumpet. And all the people who were in the camp trembled.

¹⁸ And all the people perceived the thunderings, and the lightnings, and the voice of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking. And when the people saw it, they trembled, and stood afar off.

² Hear, O, hear the noise of his voice, and the sound that goes out of his mouth. ³ He sends it forth under the whole heaven, and his lightning to the ends of the earth. ⁴ After it a voice roars. He thunders with the voice of his majesty, and he does not restrain the lightnings when his voice is heard. ⁵ God thunders marvelously with his voice. He does great things which we cannot comprehend.

⁹ Or have thou an arm like God? And can thou thunder with a voice like him?

⁵ And the sound of the wings of the cherubim was heard even to the outer court, as the voice of God Almighty when he speaks.

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.

¹ And I saw that the Lamb opened one of the seven seals. And I heard one of the four living creatures saying like the sound of thunder, Come and see.

⁵ And the agent who took the censer, also filled it from the fire of the altar, and cast it to the earth. And there occurred thunders, and voices, and lightnings, and an earthquake.

¹⁹ And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and the ark of the covenant of the Lord was seen in his temple. And there occurred lightnings, and voices, and thunders, and great hail.

² And I heard a sound from heaven as a sound of many waters, and as a sound of great thunder. And the voice that I heard was as of harpers harping with their harps.

¹ And after these things I saw another agent coming down out of heaven having great authority, and the earth was illuminated from his glory. ² And he cried out in a mighty voice, saying, Babylon the great has fallen, has fallen, and became a habitation of demons, and a hold of every unclean spirit, and a hold of every unclean and hated bird.

³⁴ But I do not take the testimony from man. However, I say these things, so that ye may be saved.

¹⁵ And I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, so that ye may believe. Nevertheless let us go to him.

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.

¹⁵ And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed. He shall bruise thy head, and thou shall bruise his heel.

²⁴ Shall the prey be taken from the mighty, or the lawful captives be delivered?

²⁸ But if I cast out demons by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God has come near you.

¹⁷ And the seventy returned with joy, saying, Lord, even the demons are made subject to us in thy name. ¹⁸ And he said to them, I beheld Satan fallen as lightning from the sky. ¹⁹ Behold, I give you authority to tread over serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and, no, nothing will harm you.

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.

³⁰ I will no longer speak many things with you, for the ruler of the world comes. And he has nothing on me,

⁸ And having come, that will convict the world about sin, and about justice, and about judgment. ⁹ About sin because they truly did not believe in me, ¹⁰ and about justice because I go to the Father, and ye see me no more, ¹¹ and about judgment because the ruler of this world has been judged.

¹⁸ to open their eyes to turn about from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God, for them to receive remission of sins and a lot among those who have been sanctified by faith in me.

⁴ in whom the god of this age has blinded the minds of the unbelieving, in order for the light of the good news of the glory of the Christ (who is a likeness of God) not to shine forth to them.

¹ Even you, who were dead in trespasses and sins ² in which ye once walked according to the era of this world, according to the ruler of the power of the air, the spirit that now works in the sons of disobedience.

¹² Because our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principal offices, against the positions of authority, against the world-rulers of the darkness of this age, against the spiritual things of wickedness in the heavenly things.

¹⁵ Having stripped the principal offices and the positions of authority, he exposed them openly, having triumphed over them by it.

⁸ He who is doing sin is of the devil, because the devil sinned from the beginning. The Son of God was made known for this, so that he might destroy the works of the devil.

⁴ Ye are of God, little children, and ye have overcome them, because greater is he in you than he in the world.

¹⁹ We know that we are of God, and the whole world is set in the evil.

⁹ And the great dragon was cast out, the ancient serpent, called the Devil and Satan, he who leads the whole world astray. He was cast out to the earth, and his agents were cast out with him. ¹⁰ And I heard a great voice in heaven, saying, Now it came to pass, the salvation, and the power, and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Christ. Because the accuser of our brothers was cast out, who accuses them before our God day and night. ¹¹ And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony. And they loved not their life to the point of death.

² And he seized the dragon, the old serpent, who is the Devil and Satan, who leads the whole world astray, and bound him a thousand years. ³ And he cast him into the abyss, and locked and sealed over him, so that he would no longer lead the nations astray until the thousand years were ended. After these things he must be loosed for a little time.

²² And if a man has committed a sin worthy of death, and he be put to death, and thou hang him on a tree, ²³ his body shall not remain all night upon the tree, but thou shall surely bury him the same day, for he who is hanged is accursed of God, that thou not defile thy land which LORD thy God gives thee for an inheritance.

⁹ And Absalom chanced to meet the servants of David. And Absalom was riding upon his mule, and the mule went under the thick boughs of a great oak, and his head caught hold of the oak. And he was taken up between sky and earth, and the mule that was under him went on.

¹⁶ For dogs have encompassed me. A company of evildoers have enclosed me. They pierced my hands and my feet. ¹⁷ I may count all my bones. They look and stare upon me. ¹⁸ They part my garments among them, and upon my vesture do they cast a lot.

⁴ Draw me, we will run after thee. The king has brought me into his chambers. We will be glad and rejoice in thee. We will make mention of thy love more than of wine. Rightly do they love thee.

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.

⁴ I drew them with cords of a man, with bands of love, and I was to them as those who lift up the yoke on their jaws. And I laid food before them.

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

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

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.

²⁸ Jesus therefore said to them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then ye will know that I am he, and I do nothing from myself, but I speak these things as my Father taught me.

³⁴ The multitude answered him, We have heard from the law that the Christ remains into the age. And how can thou say, The Son of man must be lifted up? Who is this Son of man?

¹⁷ And he went out bearing his cross to a place called, of a Skull, a place that is called in Hebrew, Golgotha,

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.

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.

⁶ who gave himself a ransom for all, the testimony for their own times.

⁹ But we see Jesus who has been made a little something less than the agents, who, because of the suffering of death, has been crowned with glory and honor, so that by the grace of God he would taste of death for every man.

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,

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.

³² so that the word of Jesus might be fulfilled that he spoke, signifying what kind of death he was going to die.

¹⁹ Now he said this, signifying by what kind of death he will glorify God. And after saying this, he says to him, Follow me.

¹³ He shall build a house for my name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever.

⁷ In his days righteousness shall flourish, and abundance of peace, till the moon is no more.

³⁶ His seed shall endure forever, and his throne as the sun before me. ³⁷ It shall be established forever as the moon, and as the faithful witness in the sky. Selah.

⁴ LORD has sworn, and will not repent. Thou are a priest forever after the order of Melchizedek.

⁷ Of the increase of his government and of peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to establish it, and to uphold it with justice and with righteousness from henceforth even forever. The zeal of LORD of hosts will perform this.

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?

²⁴ And my servant David shall be king over them, and they all shall have one shepherd. They shall also walk in my ordinances, and observe my statutes, and do them. ²⁵ And they shall dwell in the land that I have given to Jacob my servant, in which your fathers dwelt. And they shall dwell therein, they, and their sons, and their son's sons, forever. And David my servant shall be their ruler forever.

⁴⁴ And in the days of those kings the God of heaven shall set up a kingdom that shall never be destroyed, nor shall the sovereignty of it be left to another people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand forever.

¹⁴ And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all the peoples, nations, and languages should serve him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed.

²⁷ And the kingdom and the dominion, and the greatness of the kingdoms under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people of the sanctified of the Most High. His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey him.

⁷ And I will make that which was lame a remnant, and that which was cast far off a strong nation. And LORD will reign over them in mount Zion from henceforth even forever.

²⁰ And Jesus says to him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the sky, nests, but the Son of man has nowhere he may lay his head.

¹³ Now when Jesus came into the regions of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Who do men say I, the Son of man, am?

¹⁰ And when he entered into Jerusalem, all the city was shaken, saying, Who is this?

⁴² What does it seem to you about the Christ? Whose son is he? They say to him, Of David. ⁴³ He says to them, How then does David in Spirit call him Lord, saying, ⁴⁴ The Lord said to my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand until I place thine enemies a footstool of thy feet? ⁴⁵ If David therefore calls him Lord, how is he his son?

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

⁵³ Are thou greater than our father Abraham who died? And the prophets died. Who do thou make thyself? ⁵⁴ Jesus answered, If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing. My Father is he who glorifies me, of whom ye say, He is our God. ⁵⁵ And ye do not know him, but I know him. And if I should say that I do not know him, I will be a liar like you, but I do know him and keep his word. ⁵⁶ Your father Abraham rejoiced that he could see my day, and he saw it, and was glad. ⁵⁷ The Jews therefore said to him, Thou have not yet fifty years, and thou have seen Abraham? ⁵⁸ Jesus said to them, Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham came to be, I am.

³⁴ Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, ye are gods?

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

²⁵ But, that the word that is written in their law may be fulfilled, They hated me without cause.

¹⁹ Now we know that as many things as the law says, it says to those in the law, so that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become accountable to God.

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.

²² Let their table before them become a snare, and when they are in peace, a trap, and for a stumbling block, and for a retribution to them. ²³ Let their eyes be darkened, so that they cannot see, and bow down their back continually. ²⁴ Pour out thine indignation upon them, and let the fierceness of thine anger overtake them. ²⁵ Let their habitation be desolate. Let none dwell in their tents. ²⁶ For they persecute him whom thou have smitten, and they tell of the sorrow of those whom thou have wounded. ²⁷ Add iniquity to their iniquity, and let them not come into thy righteousness. ²⁸ Let them be blotted out of the book of life, and not be written with the righteous.

¹⁹ The way of the wicked is as darkness. They know not at what they stumble.

⁵ O house of Jacob, come ye, and let us walk in the light of LORD.

⁶ I, LORD, have called thee in righteousness, and will hold thy hand, and will keep thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles, ⁷ to open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the dungeon, and those who sit in darkness out of the prison-house.

¹⁶ Give glory to LORD your God, before he causes darkness, and before your feet stumble upon the dark mountains. And, while ye look for light, he turns it into the shadow of death, and makes it gross darkness. 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.

⁵ And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it. ⁶ A man came to be who was sent from God, his name was John. ⁷ This man came for testimony so that he might testify about the light, so that all might believe through him. ⁸ That man was not the light, but that he might testify about the light. ⁹ He was the true light coming into the world that enlightens every man.

³³ Jesus therefore said, Yet a little time I am with you, and then I go to him who sent me.

¹² Again therefore Jesus spoke to them, saying, I am the light of the world. He who follows me would, no, not walk in the darkness, but will have the light of life.

⁴ I must work the works of him who sent me while it is day. Night comes when no man can work. ⁵ When I am in the world, I am the light of the world.

¹⁰ But if any man walks in the night, he stumbles, because the light is not in him.

³⁶ While ye have the light, believe in the light, so that ye may become sons of light. Jesus spoke these things, and after departing, he was hid from them.

³⁹ Because of this they could not believe. Because Isaiah said again, ⁴⁰ He has blinded their eyes, and has hardened their heart, so that they would not see with their eyes, and understand with their heart, and be turned, and I would heal them.

⁴⁶ I have come a light into the world, so that every man who believes in me may not remain in the darkness.

¹⁶ A little while, and ye do not see me. Again a little while, and ye will look at me, because I go to the Father.

⁷ What then? What Israel seeks, this it did not obtain. But the chosen obtained it, and the rest were hardened, ⁸ just as it is written that God gave them a spirit of slumber: eyes not to see, and ears not to hear, until this very day. ⁹ And David says, Let their table become for a snare, and for a trap, and for a stumbling block, and for a retribution to them. ¹⁰ Let their eyes be darkened, not to see, and may thou bow down their back always.

¹² The night has advanced and the day has approached. Let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the weapons of light. ¹³ Let us walk decently as in the day, not in revelry and drunkenness, not in beddings and wantonness, not in strife and envy. ¹⁴ But clothe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no forethought for lusts of the flesh.

¹⁴ But their minds were hardened, for to this day the same veil remains at the reading of the old testament, not being uncovered, which thing is abolished in Christ.

⁸ For ye were once darkness, but now light in the Lord. Walk as children of light

¹⁴ Therefore he says, Awake, thou who sleep. And arise from the dead, and the Christ will shine upon thee. ¹⁵ Therefore watch carefully how ye walk, not as unwise but as wise,

⁵ Ye are all sons of light and sons of the day. We are not of the night nor of darkness. ⁶ So then let us not sleep, as also the others, but let us watch and be sober. ⁷ For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who are intoxicated get drunk at night. ⁸ But we, being of the day, should be sober, putting on a breastplate of faith and love, and a helmet, the hope of salvation.

⁷ Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says, Today if ye hear his voice, ⁸ do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion, according to the day of the trial in the wilderness,

⁶ If we say that we have fellowship with him and walk in the darkness, we lie, and do not the truth. ⁷ But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with each other, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanses us from every sin.

⁸ Again, a new commandment I write to you, which is true in him and in you, because the darkness is passing away, and the true light now shines. ⁹ He who claims to be in the light, and hates his brother, is in the darkness until now. ¹⁰ He who loves his brother abides in the light, and no cause of stumbling is in him. ¹¹ But he who hates his brother is in the darkness, and he goes about in the darkness, and knows not where he goes, because the darkness has blinded his eyes.

¹ Arise, shine, for thy light has come, and the glory of LORD has risen upon thee.

⁸ And his lord commended the unrighteous manager because he did shrewdly. Because the sons of this age are shrewder in their own generation than the sons of the light.

²¹ But he who does the truth comes to the light, so that his deeds may be made manifest that they are wrought in God.

⁵⁹ Therefore they took up stones so that they might throw at him, but Jesus was hid, and went out of the temple, having passed through the midst of them, and thus passed on.

³⁹ Therefore they sought again to take him, and he went forth out of their hand. ⁴⁰ And he departed again beyond the Jordan into the place where John was first immersing, and he stayed there.

⁵⁴ Jesus therefore no longer walked openly among the Jews, but departed from there into the region near the wilderness into a city called Ephraim, and he stayed there with his disciples.

⁴⁷ For so the Lord has commanded us: I have placed thee for a light of Gentiles, for thee to be for salvation as far as the extremity of the earth. ⁴⁸ And hearing this, the Gentiles were glad and glorified the word of the Lord. And as many as were appointed for eternal life believed.

⁵ Ye are all sons of light and sons of the day. We are not of the night nor of darkness.

⁸ But we, being of the day, should be sober, putting on a breastplate of faith and love, and a helmet, the hope of salvation.

²⁰ Then he began to upbraid the cities in which most of his mighty works occurred, because they did not repent.

¹¹ He came to his own, and his own did not accept him.

²⁴ If I had not done among them the works that no other man has done, they would not have had sin, but now they have both seen and hated both me and my Father.

²⁰ And Hezekiah the king, and Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz, prayed because of this, and cried out to heaven.

³ For they did not get the land in possession by their own sword, nor did their own arm save them, but thy right hand, and thine arm, and the light of thy countenance, because thou were favorable to them.

¹⁰ Behold, the lord LORD will come as a mighty one, and his arm will rule for him. Behold, his reward is with him, and his recompense before him. ¹¹ He will feed his flock like a shepherd. He will gather the lambs in his arm, and carry them in his bosom, and will gently lead those who have their young.

⁵ My righteousness is near. My salvation has gone forth, and my arms shall judge the peoples. The isles shall wait for me, and on my arm they shall trust.

⁹ Awake, awake, put on strength, O arm of LORD. Awake, as in the days of old, the generations of ancient times. Is it not thou who cut Rahab in pieces, who pierced the monster?

¹ Who has believed our report? And to whom has the arm of LORD been revealed?

⁷ Ye hypocrites, well did Isaiah prophesy about you, saying,

¹⁷ And having answered, Jesus said to him, Blessed are thou, Simon Bar-jonah, because flesh and blood has not revealed it to thee, but my Father in the heavens.

³⁵ And when they crucified him, they divided his garments, casting a lot.

¹² While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name. Whom thou gave to me, I kept, and none of them was destroyed, except the son of destruction, so that the scripture might be fulfilled.

²⁴ They said therefore among themselves, Let us not divide it, but cast a lot for it, whose it will be, so that the scripture might be fulfilled, which says, They parted my garments among them, and for my clothing they cast a lot. Therefore the soldiers indeed did these things.

³⁶ For these things happened so that the scripture might be fulfilled, Not a bone of him will be broken. ³⁷ And again another scripture says, They will look toward whom they pierced.

²⁸ And he was returning, and sitting in his chariot, and reading the prophet Isaiah. ²⁹ And the Spirit said to Philip, Go near, and be joined to this chariot. ³⁰ And after running near, Philip heard him reading the prophet Isaiah. And he said, Do thou also really understand the things that thou read?

²⁷ For those who dwell in Jerusalem, and their rulers, not having known this and the voices of the prophets being read at every sabbath, they fulfilled, having condemned him. ²⁸ And not having found one cause of death in him, they asked for Pilate to kill him. ²⁹ And when they completed all the things written about him, having taken him down from the tree, they laid him in a tomb.

¹⁶ But not all were obedient to the good news, for Isaiah says, Lord, who has believed our report?

²⁰ And Isaiah is very bold and says, I was found by those not seeking me. I became manifest to those not asking for me.

²⁴ But to them, to the called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ is the power of God and the wisdom of God.

¹⁴ But their minds were hardened, for to this day the same veil remains at the reading of the old testament, not being uncovered, which thing is abolished in Christ. ¹⁵ But to this day when Moses is read, a veil lies upon their heart. ¹⁶ But whenever it turns to the Lord, the veil is removed. ¹⁷ Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. 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.

³ But even if our good news is concealed, it is concealed in those who are perishing, ⁴ in whom the god of this age has blinded the minds of the unbelieving, in order for the light of the good news of the glory of the Christ (who is a likeness of God) not to shine forth to them. ⁵ For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus as Lord, and ourselves are your bondmen through Jesus. 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.

¹⁶ to reveal his Son in me, so that I might preach him among the Gentiles, I did not straightaway confer with flesh and blood, ¹⁷ So that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you a spirit of wisdom and revelation in knowledge of him, ¹⁸ having the eyes of your heart enlightened. For you to know what is the hope of his calling, and what is the wealth of the glory of his inheritance in the sanctified, ¹⁹ and what is the transcending greatness of his power toward us who believe, according to the working of the dominion of his might, ²⁰ which he wrought in the Christ, having raised him from the dead and seated at his right hand in the heavenly things,

⁹ And he said, Go, and tell this people, Hear ye indeed, but do not understand, and see ye indeed, but do not perceive. ¹⁰ Make the heart of this people fat, and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes, lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and turn, and be healed.

¹⁸ They do not know, nor do they consider. For he has shut their eyes, that they cannot see, and their hearts, that they cannot understand. ¹⁹ And none calls to mind, nor is there knowledge nor understanding to say, I have burned part of it in the fire. Yea, I have also baked bread upon the coals of it. I have roasted flesh and eaten it. And shall I make the residue of it an abomination? Shall I fall down to the stock of a tree? ²⁰ He feeds on ashes. A deceived heart has turned him aside. And he cannot deliver his soul, nor say, Is there not a lie in my right hand?

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

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.

¹⁴ having eyes full of adultery, and unceasing sin, enticing unstable souls, having a heart trained in greed, children of a curse,

²¹ And LORD said to Moses, When thou go back into Egypt, see that thou do before Pharaoh all the wonders which I have put in thy hand, but I will harden his heart and he will not let the people go.

³ And I will harden Pharaoh's heart, and multiply my signs and my wonders in the land of Egypt.

¹³ And Pharaoh's heart was hardened, and he did not hearken to them, as LORD had spoken.

⁴ And I will harden Pharaoh's heart, and he shall follow after them, and I will get for me honor upon Pharaoh, and upon all his army, and the Egyptians shall know that I am LORD. And they did so.

⁸ And LORD hardened the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he pursued after the sons of Israel, for the sons of Israel went out with a high hand.

¹⁷ And I, behold, I will harden the hearts of the Egyptians, and they shall go in after them, and I will get for me honor upon Pharaoh, and upon all his army, upon his chariots, and upon his horsemen.

⁴ yet LORD has not given you a heart to know, and eyes to see, and ears to hear, to this day.

²⁰ For it was of LORD to harden their hearts, to come against Israel in battle, that he might utterly destroy them, that they might have no favor, but that he might destroy them as LORD commanded Moses.

²⁰ And LORD said, Who shall entice Ahab, that he may go up and fall at Ramoth-gilead? And one said on this manner, and another said on that manner.

² Have mercy upon me, O LORD, for I am withered away. O LORD, heal me, for my bones are troubled.

⁴ I said, O LORD, have mercy upon me. Heal my soul, for I have sinned against thee.

¹⁰ who smote many nations, and killed mighty kings- ¹¹ Sihon king of the Amorites, and Og king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan- ¹² and gave their land for a heritage, a heritage to Israel his people. ¹³ Thy name, O LORD, is forever, thy memorial, O LORD, throughout all generations. ¹⁴ For LORD will judge his people, and will relent concerning his servants. ¹⁵ The idols of the nations are silver and gold, the work of men's hands. ¹⁶ They have mouths, but they speak not. They have eyes, but they see not. ¹⁷ They have ears, but they hear not, nor is there any breath in their mouths. ¹⁸ Those who make them shall be like them, yea, everyone who trusts in them.

³ He heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds.

¹⁰ Make the heart of this people fat, and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes, lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and turn, and be healed.

¹¹ LORD, thy hand is lifted up, yet they do not see. But they shall see thy zeal for the people, and be put to shame. Yea, fire shall devour thine adversaries.

¹⁰ For LORD has poured out upon you the spirit of deep sleep, and has closed your eyes. The prophets, and your heads, the seers, he has covered.

¹⁹ Who is blind, but my servant, or deaf, as my messenger that I send? Who is blind as he who is at peace with me, and blind as LORD's servant? ²⁰ Thou see many things, but thou do not observe. His ears are open, but he does not hear.

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.

¹⁸ I have seen his ways, and will heal him. I will lead him also, and restore comforts to him and to his mourners. ¹⁹ I create the fruit of the lips. Peace, peace, to him who is far off and to him who is near, says LORD, and I will heal him.

²² Return, ye backsliding sons, I will heal your backslidings. Behold, we have come to thee, for thou are LORD our God.

²¹ Hear now this, O foolish people, and without understanding, who have eyes, and see not, who have ears, and hear not:

² Son of man, thou dwell in the midst of the rebellious house, that have eyes to see, and see not, that have ears to hear, and hear not, for they are a rebellious house.

⁹ And if the prophet is deceived and speaks a word, I, LORD, have deceived that prophet. And I will stretch out my hand upon him, and will destroy him from the midst of my people Israel.

¹ Come, and let us return to LORD, for he has torn, and he will heal us. He has smitten, and he will bind us up.

⁴ I will heal their backsliding. I will love them freely. For my anger is turned away from him.

¹³ Because of this I speak to them in parables, because seeing they see not, and hearing they hear not, nor do they understand. ¹⁴ And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah, which says, By hearing ye will hear, and will, no, not understand, and seeing ye will see, and will, no, not perceive. ¹⁵ For this people's heart became fat, and their ears hear heavily, and their eyes are shut, lest they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and should turn, and I will heal them.

¹⁴ Leave them. They are blind leaders of blind men, and if a blind man leads a blind man, both will fall into a ditch.

¹² So that seeing they may see, and not perceive, and hearing they may hear, and not understand, lest they should turn, and the sins would be forgiven them.

⁵² for they did not understand about the loaves, for their heart was hardened.

¹⁷ And knowing it Jesus says to them, Why do ye deliberate because ye have no loaves? Do ye not yet perceive nor understand? Have ye your heart still hardened? ¹⁸ Having eyes, ye see not, and having ears, ye hear not? And do ye not remember?

¹⁸ The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to heal the broken hearted, to proclaim deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to sent forth in deliverance those who have been broken,

¹⁰ And he said, To you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God, but to the others in parables, so that seeing they would not see, and hearing they would not understand.

³⁹ And Jesus said, For judgment I came into this world, so that those not seeing might see, and those who see might become blind.

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

³ Indeed therefore, having been helped for the trip by the congregation, they passed through Phoenicia and Samaria, describing the conversion of the Gentiles. And they caused great joy to all the brothers.

²⁶ saying, Go thou to this people, and say, Hearing ye will hear, and will, no, not understand, and seeing ye will see, and will, no, not perceive.

¹⁸ So then he is merciful to whom he will, and whom he will he hardens.

⁷ What then? What Israel seeks, this it did not obtain. But the chosen obtained it, and the rest were hardened, ⁸ just as it is written that God gave them a spirit of slumber: eyes not to see, and ears not to hear, until this very day. ⁹ And David says, Let their table become for a snare, and for a trap, and for a stumbling block, and for a retribution to them. ¹⁰ Let their eyes be darkened, not to see, and may thou bow down their back always. ¹¹ I say then, did they stumble so that they would fall? May it not happen! But in their transgression, salvation is to the Gentiles, in order to provoke them to jealousy.

¹⁹ Brothers, if any man among you may be led astray from the truth, and some man converts him, ²⁰ let him know that he who converts a sinful man from his wandering way, will save a soul from death, and will hide a multitude of sins.

¹⁸ And he said, Show me, I pray thee, thy glory. ¹⁹ And he said, I will make all my goodness pass before thee, and will proclaim the name of LORD before thee. I will be merciful to whom I may be merciful, and I will be compassionate to whomever I may be compassionate. ²⁰ And he said, Thou cannot see my face, for man shall not see me and live. ²¹ And LORD said, Behold, there is a place by me, and thou shall stand upon the rock. ²² And it shall come to pass, while my glory passes by, that I will put thee in a cleft of the rock, and will cover thee with my hand until I have passed by. ²³ And I will take away my hand, and thou shall see my back, but my face shall not be seen.

¹ In the year that king Uzziah died I saw the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple. ² Above him stood the seraphim. Each one had six wings, with two he covered his face, and with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew. ³ And one cried to another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is LORD of hosts. The whole earth is full of his glory. ⁴ And the foundations of the thresholds shook at the voice of him who cried, and the house was filled with vapor. ⁵ Then I said, Woe is me! For I am undone, because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips. For my eyes have seen the King, LORD of hosts.

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

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.

¹⁸ No man has ever seen God. The only begotten Son, being in the bosom of the Father, that man reported him.

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

⁹ Jesus says to him, Have I been so long a time with you, and thou do not know me, Philip? He who has seen me has seen the Father. And how can thou say, Show us the Father?

⁴³ To this man all the prophets testify, that every man who believes in him, to receive remission of sins through his name.

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.

³ Who, being the radiance of his glory, and the exact image of his essence, and upholding all things by the word of his power, having made purification of our sins through himself, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in the heights.

¹¹ searching for what, or what kind of time the Spirit of Christ in them indicated, predicting the sufferings in Christ, and the glories after these things.

¹⁰ And I fell down before his feet to worship him. And he says to me, See thou not. I am a fellow bondman of thee and thy brothers, those who have the testimony of Jesus. Worship God, for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.

²⁵ The fear of man brings a snare, but he who puts his trust in LORD shall be safe.

⁷ Hearken to me, ye who know righteousness, the people in whose heart is my law. Fear ye not the reproach of men, nor be ye dismayed at their revilings.

¹¹ And of whom have thou been afraid and in fear, that thou lie, and have not remembered me, nor laid it to thy heart? Have I not held my peace even of long time, and thou do not fear me?

⁵ Hear the word of LORD, ye who tremble at his word: Your brothers who hate you, who cast you out for my name's sake, have said, Let LORD be glorified, that we may see your joy. But it is those who shall be put to shame.

³² Therefore every man, whoever will profess in me before men, I also will profess in him before my Father in the heavens.

⁶⁹ Now Peter was sitting outside in the courtyard, and one servant girl came to him, saying, Thou also were with Jesus the Galilean. ⁷⁰ But he denied before them all, saying, I do not know what thou say. ⁷¹ And when he was gone out into the porch, another woman saw him, and says to them there, This man was also with Jesus the Nazarene. ⁷² And again he denied with an oath, I do not know the man. ⁷³ And after a little while those who stood, having approached, said to Peter, Surely thou also are of them, for thy accent even makes thee apparent. ⁷⁴ Then he began to curse vehemently and to swear, I do not know the man. And straightaway a cock sounded. ⁷⁵ And Peter remembered the saying that Jesus said to him, Before a cock sounds, thou will deny me thrice. And having gone outside, he wept bitterly.

²² Blessed are ye, when men will hate you, and when they will exclude you, and revile you, and cast out your name as evil, because of the Son of man.

⁸ And I say to you, every man who will confess in me before men, the Son of man will also confess in him before the agents of God,

² This man came to him by night, and said to him, Rabbi, we know that thou have come a teacher from God, for no man can do these signs that thou do if God is not with him.

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

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. ⁵⁰ Nicodemus says to them (he who came to him by night, being one of them), ⁵¹ Does our law judge a man, unless it first may hear from himself and know what he does?

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.

³⁴ They answered and said to him, Thou were born entirely in sins, and thou teach us? And they cast him outside.

² They will make you excommunicated from the synagogues. But the hour comes that every man who kills you will presume to be offering service to God.

³⁸ And after these things Joseph of Arimathaea, being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly because of fear of the Jews, besought Pilate that he might remove the body of Jesus, and Pilate allowed him. Therefore he came and removed the body of Jesus.

⁴¹ Indeed therefore they departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were considered worthy to be treated shamefully for the name of Jesus.

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

¹² Beloved, ye should not be surprised at the fieriness in you, which occurs for a trial to you, like a strange thing happening to you. ¹³ But rejoice in so far as ye are partakers in the sufferings of the Christ, so that also at the revealing of his glory ye may rejoice, having exceeding joy. ¹⁴ Blessed are ye if ye are reviled for the name of Christ, because the Spirit of glory and of God rests upon you. From them he is indeed blasphemed, but from you he is glorified. ¹⁵ For let not any man of you suffer as a murderer, or a thief, or an evildoer, or as a busybody. ¹⁶ But if as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but let him glorify God in this regard.

² By this ye know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses Jesus Christ having come in flesh is of God,

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

²⁹ All the fat ones of the earth shall eat and worship. All those who go down to the dust shall bow before him, even he who cannot keep his soul alive.

² When therefore thou do charity, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, so that they may have glory by men. Truly I say to you, they have their reward.

⁵ But all their works they do in order to be seen by men. And they make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the hems of their garments. ⁶ And they love the chief place at feasts, and the chief seats in the synagogues, ⁷ and the greetings in the marketplaces, and to be designated by men, Rabbi, Rabbi.

¹⁵ And he said to them, Ye are those who declare yourselves righteous in the sight of men, but God knows your hearts. Because what is lofty among men is an abomination in the sight of God.

¹⁷ And he said to him, Well, thou good bondman. Because thou became faithful in the least, be thou having authority over ten cities.

⁴¹ I do not receive glory from men.

⁵⁴ Jesus answered, If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing. My Father is he who glorifies me, of whom ye say, He is our God.

²⁶ If any man serves me, let him follow me, and where I am, there my helper will also be. And if any man serves me, the Father will honor him.

⁷ to those who indeed seek by perseverance of good work, glory and esteem and immortality-eternal life-

⁵ Therefore do not judge anything before the time, until the Lord comes who will both bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and make public the deliberations of the hearts. And then praise will come to each man from God.

¹⁸ For he who commends himself, that man is not approved, but whom the Lord commends.

⁶ nor seeking glory from men, neither from you nor from others. While able to bear down as apostles of Christ,

⁷ so that the proof of your faith, much more precious than gold that perishes, and though proven by fire, may be found for praise and esteem and for glory at the revealing of Jesus Christ. ⁸ Whom, not having seen, ye love, in whom, not now seeing but believing, ye exult in inexpressible and glorified joy,

⁴ but the hidden man of the heart, in the incorruptible, of the meek and quiet spirit, which is very precious in the sight of God.

²⁰ Wisdom cries aloud in the street. She utters her voice in the broad places.

¹ Does not wisdom cry out, and understanding put forth her voice?

¹ Ho, everyone who thirsts, come ye to the waters. And he who has no money, come ye, buy, and eat. Yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price. ² Why do ye spend money for that which is not bread, and your labor for that which does not satisfy? Hearken diligently to me, and eat ye that which is good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness. ³ Incline your ear, and come to me. Hear, and your soul shall live. And I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the faithful holy things of David.

⁴⁰ He who receives you receives me, and he who receives me receives him who sent me.

³⁷ Whoever may receive one of such children in my name, receives me, and whoever may receive me, does not receive me, but him who sent me.

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.

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.

⁴³ And having said these things, he cried out with a great voice, Lazarus, come out.

²⁰ Truly, truly, I say to you, he who receives any man whomever I may send, receives me, and he who receives me receives him who sent me.

²¹ men who, because of him, believe in God who raised him from the dead, and gave him glory, in order for your faith and hope to be in God;

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

⁹ Jesus says to him, Have I been so long a time with you, and thou do not know me, Philip? He who has seen me has seen the Father. And how can thou say, Show us the Father? 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.

¹⁵ who is an image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation.

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.

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

¹ Comfort ye, comfort ye my people, says your God.

⁷ to open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the dungeon, and those who sit in darkness out of the prison-house.

¹⁵ I will lay waste mountains and hills, and dry up all their herbs. And I will make the rivers islands, and will dry up the pools.

² But to you who fear my name the sun of righteousness shall arise with healing in its wings, and ye shall go forth, and frolic as calves of the stall.

¹⁶ the people who dwell in darkness saw a great light, and to those who dwell in the region and shadow of death, light sprang up to them.

⁷⁶ And thou, child, will be called a prophet of the Most High. For thou will go ahead, before the face of the Lord, to prepare his ways, ⁷⁷ to give knowledge of salvation to his people in the remission of their sins, ⁷⁸ because of the bowels of mercy of our God, by which the dayspring from on high came to help us, ⁷⁹ to give light to those who dwell in darkness and the shadow of death, to guide our feet into a way of peace.

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

⁴ In him was life, and the life was the light of men. ⁵ And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.

⁹ He was the true light coming into the world that enlightens every man.

¹⁹ And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the light, for their deeds were evil.

⁵ When I am in the world, I am the light of the world.

³⁵ Jesus therefore said to them, Yet a little time the light is with you. Walk while ye have the light, so that darkness may not overcome you. And he who walks in the darkness knows not where he is going. ³⁶ While ye have the light, believe in the light, so that ye may become sons of light. Jesus spoke these things, and after departing, he was hid from them.

¹⁴ Therefore he says, Awake, thou who sleep. And arise from the dead, and the Christ will shine upon thee.

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), ³ what we have seen and heard we also declare to you, so that ye also may have fellowship with us. Even also our fellowship with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.

⁸ Again, a new commandment I write to you, which is true in him and in you, because the darkness is passing away, and the true light now shines. ⁹ He who claims to be in the light, and hates his brother, is in the darkness until now.

¹⁰ See that ye not disparage one of these little ones, for I say to you, that in the heavens their agents do always behold the face of my Father in the heavens.

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

⁵⁶ For the Son of man came not to destroy the lives of men, but to save. And they went to another village.

¹⁰ For the Son of man came to seek and to save that which was lost.

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.

⁴⁵ Think not that I will accuse you to the Father. The man who accuses you is Moses, in whom ye have hoped.

¹⁵ Ye judge according to the flesh. I judge no man. ¹⁶ But even if I judge, my judgment is valid, because I am not alone, but I and the Father who sent me.

²⁶ I have many things to say and to judge about you. But he who sent me is true, and I speak to the world these things that I heard from him.

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

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.

¹⁵ And consider the longsuffering of our Lord, salvation, just as also our beloved brother Paul wrote to you according to the wisdom given to him,

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

¹⁸ I will raise up a prophet for them from among their brothers, like thee. And I will put my words in his mouth, and he shall speak to them all that I shall command him. ¹⁹ And it shall come to pass, that whoever will not hearken to my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him.

⁷ And LORD said to Samuel, Hearken to the voice of the people in all that they say to thee, for they have not rejected thee, but they have rejected me, that I should not be king over them.

¹⁹ but ye have this day rejected your God who himself saves you out of all your calamities and your distresses, and ye have said to him, No, but set a king over us. Now therefore present yourselves before LORD by your tribes, and by your thousands.

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?

³¹ And he began to teach them that it was necessary for the Son of man to suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders, and the chief priests, and the scholars, and be killed, and after three days to rise.

¹⁰ And have ye not read this scripture: The stone that those who build rejected, this came to be into the head of the corner.

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

³⁰ But the Pharisees and the lawyers who were not immersed by him, rejected the purpose of God for themselves.

²² saying, It is necessary for the Son of man to suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders and chief priests and scholars, and be killed, and the third day to rise.

²⁶ For whoever may be ashamed of me and of my words, the Son of man will be ashamed of this man when he comes in his glory, and of the Father, and of the holy agents.

¹⁶ He who hears you hears me, and he who rejects you rejects me, and he who rejects me rejects him who sent me.

²⁵ But first it is necessary for him to suffer many things and be rejected from this generation.

¹⁷ But having looked upon them, he said, What then is this that is written, The stone that those who build rejected, this became the head of the corner?

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. ¹⁹ And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the light, for their deeds were evil. ²⁰ For every man who does evil hates the light, and does not come to the light, so that his works may not be exposed.

²⁴ Martha says to him, I know that he will rise in the resurrection at the last day.

²³ And every soul, whichever it will be, if it will not hear that prophet will be utterly destroyed from the people.

¹⁶ in a day when God judges the secrets of men by Jesus Christ, according to my good news.

¹⁵ Because we are a fragrance of Christ to God, in those being saved and in those perishing: ¹⁶ to the one an odor of death for death, and to the other an aroma of life for life. And who is adequate for these things?

³ But even if our good news is concealed, it is concealed in those who are perishing,

⁸ in a fire of flame rendering vengeance to those who have not known God, and to those not obeying the good news of our Lord Jesus Christ.

³ how will we escape, having neglected so great a salvation? Which first, having taken to be spoken by the Lord, was verified for us by those who heard;

²⁷ And inasmuch as it is reserved to men once to die, and after this, judgment, ²⁸ so also the Christ, having been offered once in order to take up the sins of many, will appear a second time, independent of sin, to those waiting for him for salvation.

²⁹ By how much worse punishment do ye think he will deserve who has trampled the Son of God, and who considered profane the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified, and who treated the Spirit of grace contemptuously? ³⁰ For we know him who said, Vengeance is for me, I will repay, says the Lord. And again, The Lord will judge his people. ³¹ It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

²⁵ Watch, that ye not refuse him who speaks. For if those men did not escape, having refused him who spoke a divine message on earth, much more we, those who turn away from him from the heavens,

¹⁸ I will raise up a prophet for them from among their brothers, like thee. And I will put my words in his mouth, and he shall speak to them all that I shall command him.

¹¹ Truly, truly, I say to thee, we speak that which we know, and testify of what we have seen, and ye do not accept our testimony.

³² And what he has seen and heard, of this he testifies, and no man receives his testimony.

³⁰ I can from myself do nothing. As I hear, I judge. And my judgment is righteous because I seek not my will, but the will of the Father who sent me.

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

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.

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.

³¹ but that the world may know that I love the Father. And as the Father commanded me, thus I do. Arise, let us go from here.

¹⁵ I no longer call you bondmen, because the bondman does not know what his lord does. But I have called you friends, because all things that I heard from my Father, I made known to you.

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.

¹ The Revelation of Jesus Christ that God gave him to show his bondmen what must happen quickly. And he signified it, having sent by his agent to his bondman John

⁶³ It is the spirit that makes alive. The flesh benefits nothing. The sayings that I speak to you are spirit, are life.

⁶⁸ Simon Peter therefore answered him, Lord, to whom will we go? Thou have sayings of eternal life.

³ And this is eternal life, that they should know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom thou sent.

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.

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.

²⁵ And this is the promise that he promised us: the eternal life.

²³ And this is his commandment, that we should believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love each other, just as he gave command. ²⁴ And he who keeps his commandments abides in him, and he in him. And by this we know that he abides in us, from the Spirit that he gave 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. ¹³ I wrote these things to you, those who believe in the name of the Son of God, so that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe in the name of the Son of God.
