And if I enter into the city, then, behold, those who are sick with famine! For both the prophet and the priest go about in the land, and have no knowledge.

¹ Then LORD said to me, Though Moses and Samuel stood before me, yet my mind would not be toward this people. Cast them out of my sight, and let them go forth.

¹ Brothers, truly my heart's desire and my supplication to God for Israel is for salvation.

¹⁴ if somehow I may provoke my flesh to jealousy and may save some of them.

⁹ The Lord is not slack about his promise, as some regard slackness, but is patient toward us, not wanting any to perish, but all to go forward to repentance.

¹⁴ shall we again break thy commandments, and join in affinity with the peoples who do these abominations?

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.

⁵ we have sinned, and have dealt perversely, and have done wickedly, and have rebelled, even turning aside from thy precepts and from thine ordinances, ⁶ nor have we hearkened to thy servants the prophets, who spoke in thy name to our kings, our rulers, and our fathers, and to all the people of the land. ⁷ O Lord, righteousness belongs to thee, but to us confusion of face, as at this day, to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to all Israel, who are near, and who are far off, through all the countries where thou have driven them, because of their trespass that they have trespassed against thee. ⁸ O Lord, to us belongs confusion of face, to our kings, to our rulers, and to our fathers, because we have sinned against thee.

⁸ But he knew their thoughts, and he said to the man who had the withered hand, Rise up, and stand forth in the midst. And having risen, he stood up. ⁹ Then Jesus said to them, I will question you. What? Is it permitted on the sabbath to do good, or to do harm, to save life, or to kill? ¹⁰ And having looked around on them all, he said to him, Stretch forth thy hand. And he did, and his hand was restored whole as the other.

¹ Bless LORD, O my soul, and all that is within me, bless his holy name. ² Bless LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits, ³ who forgives all thine iniquities, who heals all thy diseases, ⁴ who redeems thy life from destruction, who crowns thee with loving kindness and tender mercies, ⁵ who satisfies thy desire with good things, and thy youth is renewed like the eagle.

²⁰ He sends his word, and heals them, and delivers them from their destructions. ²¹ O that men would praise LORD for his loving kindness, and for his wonderful works to the sons of men! ²² And let them offer the sacrifices of thanksgiving, and declare his works with singing.

¹⁶ O LORD, truly I am thy servant. I am thy servant, the son of thy handmaid. Thou have loosed my bonds. ¹⁷ I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call upon the name of LORD.

²³ and besought him much, saying, My little daughter has a terminal condition, so that having come, thou may lay thy hands on her, that she may be saved and will live.

⁵ And he could do no mighty work there, none, except having laid his hands upon a few feeble men he healed them.

²⁵ Then again he put his hands upon his eyes, and made him look up. And he was restored, and saw all men clearly.

¹⁸ They will take up serpents, and if they drink anything deadly, it will, no, not harm them. They will lay hands on the feeble, and they will fare well.

⁴⁰ And when the sun was setting, all, as many as had those who were incapacitated with various diseases, brought them to him. And having laid his hands on each one of them, he healed them.

¹⁴ And when he saw them, he said to them, After departing, display yourselves to the priests. And it came to pass, during their going they were cleansed. ¹⁵ And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back with a great voice glorifying God. ¹⁶ And he fell upon his face beside his feet giving him thanks. And he was a Samaritan. ¹⁷ And having answered, Jesus said, Were not the ten cleansed? But where are the nine?

⁴³ And immediately he received sight, and followed him glorifying God. And all the people when they saw it gave praise to God.

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

⁹ Six days thou shall labor, and do all thy work,

¹² Six days thou shall do thy work, and on the seventh day thou shall rest, that thine ox and thy donkey may have rest, and the son of thy handmaid, and the sojourner, may be refreshed.

³ Six days shall work be done, but on the seventh day is a sabbath of solemn rest, a holy convocation. Ye shall do no manner of work. It is a sabbath to LORD in all your dwellings.

¹² Moreover I also gave them my sabbaths, to be a sign between me and them, that they might know that I am LORD who sanctifies them.

² But the Pharisees, when they saw it, said to him, Behold, thy disciples do what is not permitted to do upon the sabbath.

¹⁰ And behold, there was a man having a withered hand. And they interrogated him, asking if it is permitted to heal on the sabbath, so that they might accuse him. ¹¹ And he said to them, What man of you will there be, who will have one sheep, and if this falls into a pit on the sabbath, will he not grasp it, and lift it out? ¹² How much therefore a man is superior to a sheep. So then it is permitted to do good on the sabbath.

² And they watched him whether he would heal him on the sabbath day, so that they might accuse him. ³ And he says to the man who had a withered hand, Stand up in the midst. ⁴ And he says to them, Is it permitted to do good on the sabbath day or to do harm, to save life or to kill? But they were silent. ⁵ And having looked around on them with anger, being grieved at the callousness of their heart, he says to the man, Stretch forth thy hand. And he stretched it out, and his hand was restored as the other. ⁶ And the Pharisees having gone out, they straightaway were making a plot with the Herodians against him, how they might destroy him.

²² And behold, one of the synagogue rulers comes, Jairus by name. And having seen him, he falls at his feet,

⁷ And the scholars and the Pharisees watched if he would heal on the sabbath, so that they might find an accusation against him.

¹¹ But they were filled with fury, and deliberated with each other what they might do to Jesus.

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

³ And having responded, Jesus spoke to the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, Is it permitted to heal on the sabbath? ⁴ But they were silent. And having taken him, he healed him and released him. ⁵ And having responded, he said to them, Of which of you will a son or an ox fall into a pit, and he will not straightaway lift him out on the day of the sabbath? ⁶ And they could not answer him back to these things.

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

¹⁴ Now it was a sabbath when Jesus made the clay and opened his eyes. ¹⁵ Again therefore the Pharisees also asked him how he received sight. And he said to them, He put clay upon my eyes, and I washed, and I see. ¹⁶ Therefore some of the Pharisees said, This man is not from God, because he does not keep the sabbath. Other men said, How is a sinful man able to do such signs? And there was division among them.

¹⁵ And after the reading of the law and the prophets the synagogue rulers sent to them, saying, Men, brothers, if there is among you a word of exhortation for the people, speak.

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

¹⁷ But all the Greeks, having taken Sosthenes the synagogue ruler, were beating him in front of the judgment seat. And Gallio was not going to judge, even of these things.

² For I testify to them that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge.

³⁰ that the profane man not reign, that there be none to ensnare the people.

⁹ The hypocrite destroys his neighbor with his mouth, but the righteous shall be delivered through knowledge.

²⁰ For the terrible one is brought to nothing, and the scoffer ceases. And all those who watch for iniquity are cut off,

⁵ Thou hypocrite, first take out the beam from thine own eye, and then thou will see clearly to take out the speck from thy brother's eye.

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

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.

¹³ Woe to you, scholars and Pharisees, hypocrites! Because ye close up the kingdom of the heavens ahead of men. For ye enter not in, nor do ye allow those who are entering to enter in.

²⁸ In this way also, ye indeed outwardly appear righteous to men, but inside ye are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness.

⁴² Or how can thou say to thy brother, Brother, allow me to take out the speck that is in thine eye, when thou thyself do not see the beam in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, first take out the beam from thine own eye, and then thou will see clearly to take out the speck in thy brother's eye.

¹ During which time the myriads of the multitude having gathered together so as to trample each other, he began first to say to his disciples, Take heed to yourselves from the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.

⁵ And having responded, he said to them, Of which of you will a son or an ox fall into a pit, and he will not straightaway lift him out on the day of the sabbath?

²¹ Jesus answered and said to them, I did one work, and ye all marvel because of this. ²² Moses has given you circumcision (not that it is from Moses, but from the fathers), and ye circumcise a man on a sabbath. ²³ If a man receives circumcision on a sabbath, so that the law of Moses may not be loosed, are ye angry with me because I made a man entirely well on a sabbath? ²⁴ Judge not according to appearance, but judge righteous judgment.

²⁰ But Peter said to him, Thy silver with thee, may it be for destruction, because thou thought to obtain the gift of God by money. ²¹ There is no part nor lot for thee in this matter, for thy heart is not straight in the sight of God. ²² Repent therefore from this thine evil, and beg God, if perhaps the thought of thy heart will be forgiven thee. ²³ For I perceive that thou are in the gall of bitterness and the bond of unrighteousness.

⁹ But Saul (the man is also Paul) having been filled with the Holy Spirit, and having gazed on him, ¹⁰ said, O man full of all deceit and all recklessness, thou son of the devil, thou enemy of all righteousness, will thou not cease distorting the straight ways of the Lord?

¹⁰ Then Jesus says to him, Get thee behind me, Satan, for it is written, Thou shall worship the Lord thy God, and him only thou shall serve.

²⁷ And he said to them, The sabbath came into being for sake of man, and not man for sake of the sabbath.

⁸ Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance, and do not begin to say within yourselves, We have a father, Abraham. For I say to you, that God is able from these stones to raise up children to Abraham.

¹¹ And behold, there was a woman who had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years. And she was bent over, and not being able to straighten up completely. ¹² And when Jesus saw her, he called out, and said to her, Woman, thou are loosed from thine infirmity.

²⁴ And having cried out, he said, Father Abraham, be merciful to me, and send Lazarus, so that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue, because I am in agony in this flame.

⁹ And Jesus said to him, Today salvation has come to this house, forasmuch as he also is a son of Abraham.

⁴⁴ Ye are from the father, the devil, and ye want to do the desires of your father. He was a man-killer from the beginning, and he has not stood in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own, because he is a liar, and the father of it.

²⁶ Men, brothers, sons of the race of Abraham, and those among you who fear God, to you the word of this salvation was sent.

¹² and father of those of circumcision, to those not only of circumcision, but also to those who march in the steps of faith-of that during the uncircumcision of our father Abraham. ¹³ For the promise to Abraham or to his seed, for him to be heir of the world, was not through law, but through a righteousness of faith. ¹⁴ For if those from law are heirs, faith has been made void, and the promise has been made useless. ¹⁵ For the law works wrath. For where there is no law, neither is there transgression. ¹⁶ Because of this it is from faith, so that it is according to grace, in order for the promise to be sure to all the seed, not only to the seed from the law, but also to the seed from the faith of Abraham, who is father of us all

²⁶ and they may sober up out of the snare of the devil, having been captured by him for his will.

¹¹ Who is like thee, O LORD, among the gods? Who is like thee, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders?

¹⁴ Let them be put to shame and confounded together who seek after my soul to destroy it. Let them be turned backward and brought to dishonor who delight in my hurt.

²⁹ Let my adversaries be clothed with dishonor, and let them cover themselves with their own shame as with a robe.

³ His work is honor and majesty, and his righteousness endures forever.

¹⁸ I will clothe his enemies with shame, but upon himself his crown shall flourish.

² In that day the branch of LORD shall be beautiful and glorious, and the fruit of the land shall be excellent and comely for those who have escaped from Israel.

²⁴ Only in LORD, it is said of me, is righteousness and strength. Even to him men shall come, and all those who were incensed against him shall be put to shame.

⁶ And they could not answer him back to these things.

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! ³⁹ And some of the Pharisees from the multitude said to him, Teacher, rebuke thy disciples. ⁴⁰ And having answered, he said to them, I tell you that if these were silent, the stones would cry out.

⁴⁸ And they did not find what they might do, for the people all hung upon him, listening.

⁴⁰ For they no longer dared to question him anything.

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.

⁹ And all the people saw him walking and praising God, ¹⁰ and they recognized him, that this was the man who sat for charity at the Beautiful Gate of the temple. And they were filled of astonishment and amazement at that which happened to him. ¹¹ And as the lame man who was healed held Peter and John, all the people ran together to them in the porch that is called Solomon's, amazed.

²¹ And they, having further threatened, released them, finding nothing how they might punish them, because of the people. Since all glorified God for that which happened.

⁹ But they will not advance in much more, for their folly will be evident to all men, as also that of those men came to be.

¹⁶ Having a good conscience, so that, in what they speak against you as of evildoers, they may be ashamed, those who revile your good behavior in Christ.

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

²⁴ He set forth another parable to them, saying, The kingdom of the heavens is compared to a man sowing good seed in his field.

³¹ He set forth another parable to them, saying, The kingdom of the heavens is like a grain of mustard plant, which having taken, a man sowed in his field. ³² Which indeed is smaller than all seeds, but when it is grown, it is greater than the plants, and becomes a tree, so as for the birds of the sky to come and lodge in the branches of it.

²⁶ And he said, Thus is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the ground,

³⁰ And he said, To what shall we liken the kingdom of God? Or by what parable shall we compare it? ³¹ It is like a grain of the mustard plant, which, when it is sown in the ground, is smaller than all the seeds upon the ground. ³² Yet when it is sown, it goes up and becomes greater than all the plants, and it makes great branches, so that the birds of the sky can lodge under the shade of it. ³³ And with many such parables he spoke the word to them, as they were able to hear it. ³⁴ And he did not speak to them apart from a parable, but privately he explained all things to his disciples.

³¹ To what, then will I compare the men of this generation, and to what are they like?

²⁰ And again he said, To what will I compare the kingdom of God?

²¹ nor will they say, Lo, here! or, Lo, there! For behold, the kingdom of God is inside of you.

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. 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.

¹² A garden shut up is my sister, my bride, a spring shut up, a fountain sealed.

¹⁶ Awake, O north wind, and come, thou south, blow upon my garden, that the spices of it may flow out. Let my beloved come into his garden, and eat his precious fruits.

² My beloved has gone down to his garden, to the beds of spices, to feed in the gardens, and to gather lilies.

¹³ Thou who dwell in the gardens, the companions hearken for thy voice. Cause me to hear it.

² And it shall come to pass in the latter days, that the mountain of LORD's house shall be established on the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills, and all nations shall flow to it. ³ And many peoples shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob, and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths. For out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of LORD from Jerusalem.

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.

²⁰ The sons of thy bereavement shall yet say in thine ears, The place is too narrow for me. Give a place to me that I may dwell. ²¹ Then thou shall say in thy heart, Who has begotten these for me, seeing I have been bereaved of my sons, and am solitary, an exile, and wandering to and fro? And who has brought up these? Behold, I was left alone, these, where were they? ²² Thus says the lord LORD: Behold, I will lift up my hand to the nations, and set up my ensign to the peoples. And they shall bring thy sons in their bosom, and thy daughters shall be carried upon their shoulders. ²³ And kings shall be thy nursing fathers, and their queens thy nursing mothers. They shall bow down to thee with their faces to the earth, and lick the dust of thy feet. And thou shall know that I am LORD, and those who wait for me shall not be put to shame. ²⁴ Shall the prey be taken from the mighty, or the lawful captives be delivered? ²⁵ But thus says LORD, Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken away, and the prey of the terrible shall be delivered. For I will contend with him who contends with thee, and I will save thy sons.

² Look to Abraham your father, and to Sarah who bore you. For when he was but one I called him, and I blessed him, and made him many. ³ For LORD has comforted Zion. He has comforted all her waste places, and has made her wilderness like Eden, and her desert like the garden of LORD. Joy and gladness shall be found therein, thanksgiving, and the voice of melody.

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

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 And LORD will guide thee continually, and satisfy thy soul in dry places, and make strong thy bones. And thou shall be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water whose waters fail not.

¹⁵ Whereas thou have been forsaken and hated, so that no man passed through thee, I will make thee an eternal excellency, a joy of many generations. ¹⁶ Thou shall also suck the milk of the nations, and shall suck the breast of kings. And thou shall know that I, LORD, am thy Savior, and thy Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob. ¹⁷ For brass I will bring gold, and for iron I will bring silver, and for wood brass, and for stones iron. I will also make thy officers peace, and thine overseers righteousness. ¹⁸ Violence shall no more be heard in thy land, desolation nor destruction within thy borders, but thou shall call thy walls Salvation, and thy gates Praise. ¹⁹ The sun shall no more be thy light by day, nor for brightness shall the moon give light to thee, but LORD will be to thee an everlasting light, and thy God thy glory. ²⁰ Thy sun shall no more go down, nor shall thy moon withdraw itself, for LORD will be thine everlasting light. And the days of thy mourning shall be ended. ²¹ Thy people also shall all be righteous. They shall inherit the land forever, the branch of my planting, the work of my hands, that I may be glorified. ²² The little one shall become a thousand, and the small one a strong nation. I, LORD, will hasten it in its time.

¹¹ For as the earth brings forth its bud, and as the garden causes the things that are sown in it to spring forth, so the lord LORD will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth before all the nations.

¹² And they shall come and sing in the height of Zion, and shall flow to the goodness of LORD, to the grain, and to the new wine, and to the oil, and to the young of the flock and of the herd. And their soul shall be as a watered garden, and they shall not sorrow any more at all.

²² Thus says the lord LORD: I will also take of the lofty top of the cedar, and will set it. I will crop off a tender one from the topmost of its young twigs, and I will plant it upon a high and lofty mountain. ²³ I will plant it in the mountain of the height of Israel, and it shall bring forth boughs, and bear fruit, and be a goodly cedar. And all birds of every wing shall dwell under it; they shall dwell in the shade of the branches thereof. ²⁴ And all the trees of the field shall know that I, LORD, have brought down the high tree, have exalted the low tree, have dried up the green tree, and have made the dry tree to flourish. I, LORD, have spoken and have done it.

⁶ All the birds of the heavens made their nests in its boughs, and under its branches all the beasts of the field brought forth their young, and under its shadow dwelt all great nations.

¹ And he brought me back to the door of the house. And, behold, waters issued out from under the threshold of the house eastward, for the forefront of the house was toward the east. And the waters came down from under, from the right side of the house, on the south of the altar. ² Then he brought me out by the way of the gate northward, and led me round by the way outside to the outer gate, by the way of the gate that looks toward the east. And, behold, waters ran out on the right side. ³ When the man went forth eastward with the line in his hand, he measured a thousand cubits, and he caused me to pass through the waters, waters that were to the ankles. ⁴ Again he measured a thousand, and caused me to pass through the waters, waters that were to the knees. Again he measured a thousand, and caused me to pass through the waters, waters that were to the loins. ⁵ Afterward he measured a thousand, and it was a river that I could not pass through, for the waters were risen, waters to swim in, a river that could not be passed through. ⁶ And he said to me, Son of man, have thou seen this? Then he brought me, and caused me to return to the bank of the river. ⁷ Now when I had returned, behold, upon the bank of the river were very many trees on the one side and on the other. ⁸ Then he said to me, These waters issue forth toward the eastern region, and shall go down into the Arabah. And they shall go toward the sea, into the sea which were made to issue forth, and the waters shall be healed. ⁹ And it shall come to pass, that every living creature which swarms, in every place where the rivers come, shall live. And there shall be a very great multitude of fish (for these waters have come there) and shall be healed. And everything shall live wherever the river comes. ¹⁰ And it shall come to pass, that fishermen shall stand by it. From En-gedi even to En-eglaim shall be a place for the spreading of nets. Their fish shall be according to their kinds, as the fish of the great sea, very many. ¹¹ But the miry places of it, and the marshes of it, shall not be healed. They shall be given up to salt. ¹² And by the river upon the bank of it, on this side and on that side, shall grow every tree for food, whose leaf shall not wither, nor shall the fruit of it fail. It shall bring forth new fruit every month, because the waters of it issue out of the sanctuary. And the fruit of it shall be for food, and the leaf of it for healing.

³⁴ Thou looked until a stone was cut out without hands, which smote the image upon its feet that were of iron and clay, and broke them in pieces. ³⁵ Then the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold, was broken in pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshing floors. And the wind carried them away, so that no place was found for them. And the stone that smote the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth.

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. ⁴⁵ Inasmuch as thou saw that a stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it broke in pieces the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver, and the gold, the great God has made known to the king what shall come to pass hereafter. And the dream is certain, and the interpretation thereof sure.

¹² The leaves of it were fine, and the fruit of it much, and food was in it for all. The beasts of the field had shadow under it, and the birds of the heavens dwelt in the branches of it. And all flesh was fed from it.

²¹ whose leaves were fine, and the fruit of it much, and in it was food for all, under which the beasts of the field dwelt, and upon whose branches the birds of the heavens had their habitation,

¹ But in the latter days it shall come to pass, that the mountain of LORD's house shall be established on the top of the mountains, and it shall be exalted above the hills, and peoples shall flow to it. ² And many nations shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of LORD, and to the house of the God of Jacob, and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths. For out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of LORD from Jerusalem.

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.

²⁰ Thus says LORD of hosts: Peoples shall yet come, and the inhabitants of many cities. ²¹ And the inhabitants of one city shall go to another, saying, Let us go speedily to entreat the favor of LORD, and to seek LORD of hosts. I will go also. ²² Yea, many peoples and strong nations shall come to seek LORD of hosts in Jerusalem, and to entreat the favor of LORD. ²³ Thus says LORD of hosts: In those days, ten men shall take hold, out of all the languages of the nations, they shall take hold of the skirt of him who is a Jew, saying, We will go with you, for we have heard that God is with you.

⁷ But it shall be one day which is known to LORD, not day, and not night. But it shall come to pass, that at evening time there shall be light. ⁸ And it shall come to pass in that day, that living waters shall go out from Jerusalem, half of them toward the eastern sea, and half of them toward the western sea. In summer and in winter it shall be. ⁹ And LORD shall be King over all the earth. In that day LORD shall be one, and his name one.

²⁰ And Jesus said to them, Because of your unbelief. For truly I say to you, if ye have faith as a grain of a mustard plant, ye will say to this mountain, Remove from here to there, and it will depart, and nothing will be impossible to you.

³¹ It is like a grain of the mustard plant, which, when it is sown in the ground, is smaller than all the seeds upon the ground. ³² Yet when it is sown, it goes up and becomes greater than all the plants, and it makes great branches, so that the birds of the sky can lodge under the shade of it.

⁶ And the Lord said, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard plant, ye would say to this sycamine tree, Be thou uprooted and be planted in the sea, and it would have obeyed you.

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

⁴ But many of those who heard the word believed, and the number of the men became about five thousand.

¹⁴ Simeon described how God first came to help, to take from the Gentiles a people for his name. ¹⁵ And to this the words of the prophets agree, as it is written, ¹⁶ After these things I will return, and I will rebuild the tabernacle of David that has fallen. And I will rebuild the things of it that have been demolished, and I will restore it, ¹⁷ so that the rest of men might seek the Lord, and all the Gentiles upon whom my name is called upon them, says the Lord, who does these things. ¹⁸ Known to God from the age are all his works.

²⁰ And when the men heard, they glorified God, having said to him, Thou see, brother, how many thousands there are of the Jews who have believed, and they are all zealots of the law.

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

¹⁵ And the seventh agent sounded, and great voices occurred in heaven, saying, The kingdom of the world has become of our Lord, and of his Christ, and he will reign into the ages of the ages.

⁹ Yet the righteous shall hold on his way. And he who has clean hands shall grow stronger and stronger.

¹³ Men who are planted in the house of LORD shall flourish in the courts of our God. ¹⁴ They shall still bring forth fruit in old age. They shall be full of sap and green

¹⁸ But the path of the righteous is as the dawning light, that shines more and more to the perfect day.

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

³³ He spoke another parable to them. The kingdom of the heavens is like leaven, which having taken, a woman hid in three measures of meal until it was all leavened.

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

⁶ Your boasting is not good. Know ye not that a little leaven leavens the whole lump?

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.

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.

²³ And may the God of peace himself sanctify you thoroughly. And may your spirit and soul and body be preserved complete, blamelessly at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. ²⁴ Faithful is he who calls you, who also will do it.

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

³⁵ And Jesus went about all the cities and the villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the good news of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people.

⁶ And he marveled because of their unbelief. And he went around the villages teaching.

³² And they were on the road going up to Jerusalem, and Jesus was going ahead of them. And they were amazed, and those who followed were afraid. And again having summoned the twelve, he began to tell them the things that were going to happen to him. ³³ Behold, we go up to Jerusalem. And the Son of man will be delivered to the chief priests and the scholars. And they will condemn him to death, and will deliver him to the Gentiles. ³⁴ And they will mock him, and will scourge, and will spit upon him, and will kill him. And the third day he will rise.

⁴³ But he said to them, I must preach the good news of the kingdom of God to the other cities also, because I was sent for this. ⁴⁴ And he was preaching in the synagogues of Galilee.

⁵¹ And it came to pass, while fulfilling the days for his ascension, that he also set his face to go to Jerusalem.

³⁸ Jesus of Nazareth-how God anointed him with the Holy Spirit and with power, who passed through doing good, and healing all those who were oppressed by the devil, because God was with him.

¹⁴ How narrow is the gate, and restricted the way, that leads to life, and few are those who find it.

²⁵ And when his disciples heard it, they were exceedingly amazed, saying, Who then can be saved?

¹⁶ So the last will be first, and the first last, for many are called, but few chosen.

¹⁴ For many are called, but few chosen.

³ And as he sat on the mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately, saying, Tell us, when will these things be? And what is the sign of thy coming, and of the termination of the age? ⁴ And having answered, Jesus said to them, See that not any man may lead you astray. ⁵ For many will come in my name, saying, I am the Christ, and will lead many astray.

⁴ Tell us, when will these things be? And what is the sign when all these things are going to be fulfilled? ⁵ And having answered them, Jesus began to say to them, Watch that not any man lead you astray.

¹³ And a certain man out of the crowd said to him, Teacher, speak to my brother to divide the inheritance with me. ¹⁴ But he said to him, Man, who appointed me a judge or an arbitrator over you? ¹⁵ And he said to them, Watch, and keep away from greed, because to any man, life to him is not in the abundance of things possessed by him.

⁷ And they questioned him, saying, Teacher, when therefore will these things be? And what is the sign when these things are going to happen? ⁸ And he said, Watch that ye may not be led astray, for many will come in my name, saying, I am, and, The time has come near. Go ye not therefore after them.

²¹ Having seen this man, Peter says to Jesus, Lord, and what of this man? ²² Jesus says to him, If I want him to remain until I come, what is it to thee? Follow thou me.

⁷ And he said to them, It is not for you to know times or seasons, which the Father established in his own authority. ⁸ But ye will receive the power of the Holy Spirit that comes upon you. And ye will be witnesses to me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and as far as of the extremity of the earth.

²⁵ And when he saw that he did not prevail against him, he touched the hollow of his thigh, and the hollow of Jacob's thigh was strained as he wrestled with him. ²⁶ And he said, Let me go, for the day breaks. And he said, I will not let thee go unless thou bless me.

²⁴ Because I have called, and ye have refused, I have stretched out my hand, and no man has regarded, ²⁵ but ye have made all my counsel void, and want none of my reproof, ²⁶ I also will laugh at your calamity. I will mock when your fear comes, ²⁷ when your fear comes as a storm, and your calamity comes on as a whirlwind, when distress and anguish come upon you. ²⁸ Then they will call upon me, but I will not answer. They will seek me diligently, but they shall not find me,

⁶ A scoffer seeks wisdom, and finds it not, but knowledge is easy to him who has understanding.

²⁵ The desire of the sluggard kills him, for his hands refuse to labor.

¹⁵ The labor of fools wearies every one of them, for he knows not how to go to the city.

¹⁵ And when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide my eyes from you. Yea, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear; your hands are full of blood.

² Yet they seek me daily, and delight to know my ways. As a nation that did righteousness, and forsook not the ordinance of their God, they ask of me righteous judgments; they delight to draw near to God. ³ Why have we fasted, they say, and thou see not? We have afflicted our soul, and thou take no knowledge. Behold, in the day of your fast ye find pleasure, and exact from all your laborers. ⁴ Behold, ye fast for strife and contention, and to smite with the fist of wickedness. Ye do not fast this day so as to make your voice to be heard on high.

³¹ And they come to thee as the people come, and they sit before thee as my people. And they hear thy words, but do not do them. For with their mouth they show much love, but their heart goes after their gain.

¹³ Enter ye in by the narrow gate, because wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leads to destruction, and many are they who enter through it. ¹⁴ How narrow is the gate, and restricted the way, that leads to life, and few are those who find it.

¹² And from the days of John the immerser until now the kingdom of the heavens is treated aggressively, and aggressors seize it.

¹⁸ For John said to Herod, It is not permitted for thee to have thy brother's wife. ¹⁹ And Herodias was resentful toward him, and wanted to kill him. And she could not, ²⁰ for Herod feared John, knowing him to be a righteous and holy man, and he protected him. And having heard of him-the many things he was doing-he even heard of him gladly.

³⁶ Watch ye therefore, making supplication at all times, so that ye may be considered worthy to escape all these things going to happen, and to stand before the Son of man.

²⁷ Work not for the food that perishes, but for the food that endures to eternal life, which the Son of man will give to you, for God the Father put a seal on this man.

³⁴ Ye will seek me, and will not find me, and where I am, ye cannot come.

²¹ Jesus therefore again said to them, I go, and ye will seek me, and ye will die in your sin. Where I go, ye cannot come.

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.

³¹ But Israel who pursued a law of righteousness, did not arrive to a law of righteousness. ³² Why? Because it was not from faith but as from works of law. For they stumbled at the stone of stumbling, ³³ just as it is written, Behold, I lay in Zion a stone of stumbling and a rock of offense. And every man who believes in him will not be shamed.

³ For not understanding the righteousness of God, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, they did not submit to the righteousness of God.

²⁴ Know ye not that those who run in an arena, indeed all run, but one receives the prize? So run that ye may seize it. ²⁵ And every man who strives for mastery exercises self-control in all things. Indeed therefore those men do it so that they might obtain a perishable crown, but we an imperishable. ²⁶ I therefore run this way, not as aimlessly. I fight this way, not as flaying air. ²⁷ But I give my body a black eye and subdue it, lest somehow having preached to others, I myself might become disqualified.

¹² Therefore my beloved, just as ye have always obeyed, not only as in my presence, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. ¹³ For it is God who works in you both to desire and to work for approval.

²⁹ For which also I labor, striving according to his working, which works in me with power.

¹¹ Let us therefore be diligent to enter into that rest, so that not any man may fall by the same example of disobedience.

¹⁰ Therefore, brothers, instead be diligent to make your calling and selection sure, for doing these things, ye would, no, not ever stumble.

¹⁶ And those that went in, went in male and female of all flesh, as God commanded him. And LORD shut him in.

⁶ For this let everyone who is devout pray to thee in a time when thou may be found. Surely when the great waters overflow they shall not reach to him.

⁶ Seek ye LORD while he may be found. Call ye upon him while he is near.

²¹ Not every man who says to me, Lord, Lord, will enter into the kingdom of the heavens, but he who does the will of my Father in the heavens. ²² Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy by thy name, and by thy name cast out demons, and by thy name do many mighty works? ²³ And then I will profess to them, I never acknowledged you. Depart from me, ye who work lawlessness.

¹⁰ And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came. And the prepared entered in with him for the wedding festivities, and the door was shut. ¹¹ But afterward the other virgins also came, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us. ¹² But having answered, he said, Truly I say to you, I know you not.

⁴¹ Then he will also say to those at the left hand, Depart from me, ye accursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his agents.

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

²⁷ And he will say, I tell you, I know not where ye are from. Depart from me, all ye workmen of unrighteousness.

² (for he says, At an acceptable time I heard thee, and in a day of salvation I helped thee. Behold, now is an acceptable time. Behold, now is a day 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,

¹⁷ For ye also know that wanting afterward to inherit the blessing, he was rejected, for he found no place of repentance, though having sought it with tears.

² Yet they seek me daily, and delight to know my ways. As a nation that did righteousness, and forsook not the ordinance of their God, they ask of me righteous judgments; they delight to draw near to God.

⁵ having a form of piety, but repudiating the power of it. Now turn away from these men,

¹⁶ They profess to know God, but in their works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and worthless for every good work.

⁶ For LORD knows the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked shall perish.

⁶ Thou will destroy those who speak lies. LORD abhors the blood-thirsty and deceitful man.

⁸ Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity, for LORD has heard the voice of my weeping.

³ Draw me not away with the wicked, and with the workers of iniquity, who speak peace with their neighbors, but mischief is in their hearts.

⁸ Morning by morning I will destroy all the wicked of the land, to cut off all the workers of iniquity from the city of LORD.

¹¹⁵ Depart from me, ye evildoers, that I may keep the commandments of my God.

⁵ But as for such as turn aside to their crooked ways, LORD will lead them forth with the workers of iniquity. Peace be upon Israel.

¹² Though they bring up their sons, yet I will bereave them, so that not a man shall be left. Yea, woe also to them when I depart from them!

¹² But having answered, he said, Truly I say to you, I know you not.

²⁵ From the time the house-ruler has risen up, and has closed the door, and ye begin to stand outside, and to knock the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us, and having answered, he will say to you, I know not where ye are from,

³ But if any man loves God, this man is known by him.

⁹ but now knowing God, but rather being known by God, how is it ye turn again to the weak and destitute elements to which ye desire again to be in bondage anew?

¹⁹ Nevertheless the firm foundation of God stands, having this seal, The Lord knows those who are his, and, Let every man who names the name of the Lord keep away from unrighteousness.

¹⁰ A wicked man shall see it, and be grieved. He shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away. The desire of wicked men shall perish.

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.

⁴² and will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.

⁵⁰ and will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.

¹³ Then the king said to the helpers, After binding him hands and feet, take him away and cast him out into the outer darkness. There will be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.

⁵¹ and he will cut him in two, and place his share with the hypocrites. There will be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.

³⁰ And cast ye the unprofitable bondman into the outer darkness. There will be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.

¹⁵ And thou, Capernaum, which was exalted to the sky, will be thrust down to Hades.

¹⁵ And a certain man of those dining together having heard these things, he said to him, Blessed is he who will eat dinner in the kingdom of God.

²³ And having lifted up his eyes in Hades, being in torments, he sees Abraham from afar and Lazarus by his bosom.

⁴² And he said to Jesus, Remember me, Lord, when thou come into thy kingdom. ⁴³ And Jesus said to him, Truly I say to thee, today thou will be with me in the paradise.

⁵ being evidence of the righteous judgment of God, for you to be considered worthy of the kingdom of God, for which also ye suffer.

¹¹ For so the entrance will be furnished to you abundantly into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

⁸ But for the cowards, and unbelieving, and sinful, and abominable, and murderers, and fornicators, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, their part is in the lake that burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.

¹⁵ Outside are the dogs, and the sorcerers, and the fornicators, and the murderers, and the idolaters, and every man who loves and makes a lie.

¹⁴ And thy seed shall be as the dust of the earth, and thou shall spread abroad to the west, and to the east, and to the north, and to the south. And in thee and in thy seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed.

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

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.

² Enlarge the place of thy tent, and let them stretch forth the curtains of thy habitations. Spare not. Lengthen thy cords, and strengthen thy stakes. ³ For thou shall spread abroad on the right hand and on the left. And thy seed shall possess the nations, and make the desolate cities to be inhabited.

¹⁸ For I know their works and their thoughts. The time comes, that I will gather all nations and tongues, and they shall come, and shall see my glory. 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.

¹¹ For from the rising of the sun even to the going down of the same, my name is great among the Gentiles. And in every place incense is offered to my name, and a pure offering. For my name is great among the Gentiles, says LORD of hosts.

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,

²⁷ And then he will send forth his agents, and will gather together his chosen from the four winds, from the outermost part of the earth as far as the outermost part of heaven.

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

⁶ For Gentiles to be fellow-heirs, and of the same body, and fellow partakers of his promise in the Christ through the good news. ⁷ Of which I became a helper according to the gift of that grace of God, which was given to me according to the working of his power. ⁸ To me, a man less than the least of all the sanctified, this grace was given to preach good news among the Gentiles, the unsearchable wealth of Christ,

⁶ being present for you, just as also in all the world. And it is bearing fruit and increasing, just as also among you from the day that ye heard and recognized the grace of God in truth.

²³ If ye truly continue in the faith, founded, and steadfast, and not moved away from the hope of the good news that ye heard, which was proclaimed in all creation under heaven, of which I Paul became a helper.

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!

³⁰ But many first will be last, and last, first.

²⁸ But what does it seem to you? A man had two children. And having come to the first, he said, Child, go work today in my vineyard. ²⁹ And having answered, he said, I do not want to, but having repented later, he went. ³⁰ And having come to the second, he said likewise. And having answered, he said, I, sir, and did not go. ³¹ Which of the two did the will of the father? They say to him, The first. Jesus says to them, Truly I say to you, that the tax collectors and the harlots go into the kingdom of God before you.

³¹ But many first will be last, and the last first.

⁹ For they all would have made us afraid, saying, Their hands shall be weakened from the work that it not be done. But now, O God, strengthen thou my hands. ¹⁰ And I went to the house of Shemaiah the son of Delaiah the son of Mehetabel, who was shut up, and he said, Let us meet together in the house of God, within the temple, and let us shut the doors of the temple. For they will come to kill thee, yea, they will come to kill thee in the night. ¹¹ And I said, Should such a man as I flee? And who is there, that, being such as I, would go into the temple to save his life? I will not go in.

¹ In LORD I take refuge. How will ye say to my soul, Flee as a bird to your mountain. ² For, lo, the wicked bend the bow. They make ready their arrow upon the string that they may shoot in darkness at the upright in heart.

¹² Also Amaziah said to Amos, O thou seer, go, flee thou away into the land of Judah, and there eat bread, and prophesy there. ¹³ But do not prophesy again any more at Bethel, for it is the king's sanctuary, and it is a royal house.

¹ At that time Herod the tetrarch heard the report of Jesus,

¹ Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judea, and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip being tetrarch of the region belonging to Ituraea, and of the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanias being tetrarch of Abilene,

⁴ O Israel, thy prophets have been like foxes in the waste places.

¹ And I said, Hear, I pray you, ye heads of Jacob, and rulers of the house of Israel. Is it not for you to know justice? ² Ye who hate the good, and love the evil, who pluck off their skin from off them, and their flesh from off their bones, ³ who also eat the flesh of my people, and flay their skin from off them, and break their bones, and chop them in pieces, as for the pot, and as flesh within the caldron.

³ Her rulers in the midst of her are roaring lions. Her judges are evening wolves. They leave nothing till the morrow.

¹⁴ And king Herod heard, for his name had become well known. And he said, John, the man who immerses, was raised from the dead, and because of this the powers work in him.

²⁶ And the king, who became exceeding sorry, did not want to refuse her because of the oaths, and of those dining together. ²⁷ And straightaway having sent an executioner, the king commanded his head to be brought. And having departed, he beheaded him in the prison, ²⁸ and brought his head on a platter, and gave it to the maiden. And the maiden gave it to her mother.

¹⁹ But Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him about Herodias his brother's wife, and about all of which evil things Herod had done, ²⁰ also added this to them all, he even locked up John in prison.

⁷ But Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was done by him. And he was perplexed, because it was said by some that John was risen from the dead, ⁸ and by some that Elijah appeared, and by others that a prophet, one of the ancient men arose. ⁹ And Herod said, I beheaded John, but who is this about whom I hear such things? And he sought to see him.

⁸ Now when Herod saw Jesus, he was exceedingly glad, for he was wanting of a considerable time to see him, because of hearing many things about him, and he hoped to see some sign happening by him. ⁹ And he interrogated him in considerable words, but he answered him nothing. ¹⁰ And the chief priests and the scholars had stood, vehemently accusing him. ¹¹ But Herod having disdained him with his soldiers, and having mocked him, having arraying him in a bright robe, he sent him back to Pilate.

³² Jesus answered them, I have shown you many good works from my Father. Because of them, which work do ye stone me?

⁸ The disciples say to him, Rabbi, the Jews were now seeking to stone thee, and thou go there again. ⁹ Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If a man walks in the day, he does not stumble, because he sees the light of this world. ¹⁰ But if any man walks in the night, he stumbles, because the light is not in him.

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.

³⁰ When therefore Jesus received the vinegar, he said, It is finished, and after bowing his head, he gave up the spirit.

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 And having been fully perfected, he became the source of eternal salvation to all those who obey him,

²⁸ For the law appoints men high priests who have weakness, but the word of the oath after the law, a Son who has been fully perfected into the age.

¹⁸ Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and the Son of man will be betrayed to the chief priests and scholars. And they will condemn him to death,

¹¹ And the multitudes said, This is Jesus, the prophet from Nazareth of Galilee.

⁵³ And they did not receive him, because his face was going to Jerusalem.

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

⁴ I must work the works of him who sent me while it is day. Night comes when no man can work.

⁹ Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If a man walks in the day, he does not stumble, because he sees the light of this world.

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.

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.

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.

²⁹ Oh that there were such a heart in them that they would fear me, and keep all my commandments always, that it might be well with them, and with their sons forever!

¹¹ As an eagle that stirs up her nest, that flutters over her young, he spread abroad his wings. He took them. He bore them on his pinions. ¹² LORD alone led him, and there was no foreign god with him.

²⁹ Oh that they were wise, that they understood this, that they would consider their latter end!

¹² LORD recompense thy work, and a full reward be given thee of LORD, the God of Israel, under whose wings thou have come to take refuge.

²¹ And they conspired against him, and stoned him with stones at the commandment of the king in the court of the house of LORD. ²² Thus Joash the king did not remember the kindness which Jehoiada his father had done to him, but killed his son. And when he died, he said, LORD look upon it, and require it.

¹⁵ And LORD, the God of their fathers, sent to them by his messengers, rising up early and sending, because he had compassion on his people, and on his dwelling-place. ¹⁶ But they mocked the messengers of God, and despised his words, and scoffed at his prophets, until the wrath of LORD arose against his people, till there was no remedy.

²⁶ Nevertheless they were disobedient, and rebelled against thee, and cast thy law behind their back, and killed thy prophets who testified against them to turn them again to thee, and they wrought great provocations.

³⁰ Yet many years thou bore with them, and testified against them by thy Spirit through thy prophets. Yet they would not give ear. Therefore thou gave them into the hand of the peoples of the lands.

⁸ Keep me as the apple of the eye. Hide me under the shadow of thy wings,

⁷ How precious is thy loving kindness, O God, and the sons of men take refuge under the shadow of thy wings.

¹ Be merciful to me, O God, be merciful to me, for my soul takes refuge in thee. Yea, in the shadow of thy wings I will take refuge until calamities be passed by.

¹⁰ I am LORD thy God who brought thee up out of the land of Egypt. Open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it. ¹¹ But my people hearkened not to my voice, and Israel would none of me.

¹³ O that my people would hearken to me, that Israel would walk in my ways!

⁴ He will cover thee with his pinions, and under his wings shall thou take refuge. His truth is a shield and a buckler.

² Let Israel rejoice in him who made him. Let the sons of Zion be joyful in their King.

²⁴ Because I have called, and ye have refused, I have stretched out my hand, and no man has regarded, ²⁵ but ye have made all my counsel void, and want none of my reproof, ²⁶ I also will laugh at your calamity. I will mock when your fear comes, ²⁷ when your fear comes as a storm, and your calamity comes on as a whirlwind, when distress and anguish come upon you. ²⁸ Then they will call upon me, but I will not answer. They will seek me diligently, but they shall not find me, ²⁹ because they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of LORD. ³⁰ They wanted none of my counsel. They despised all my reproof.

¹⁵ For thus said the lord LORD, the Holy One of Israel, Ye shall be saved in returning and rest. Your strength shall be in quietness and in confidence. And ye would not,

¹⁷ Thus says LORD, thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: I am LORD thy God, who teaches thee to profit, who leads thee by the way that thou should go. ¹⁸ Oh that thou had hearkened to my commandments! Then thy peace would have been as a river, and thy righteousness as the waves of the sea. ¹⁹ Thy seed also would have been as the sand, and the offspring of thy bowels like the grains of it. His name would not be cut off nor destroyed from before me.

² Why, when I came, was there no man? When I called, was there none to answer? Is my hand shortened at all, that it cannot redeem? Or have I no power to deliver? Behold, at my rebuke I dry up the sea. I make the rivers a wilderness. Their fish stink because there is no water, and die for thirst.

³⁰ In vain I have smitten your sons. They received no correction. Your own sword has devoured your prophets like a destroying lion.

¹⁶ Thus says LORD, Stand ye in the ways and see. And ask for the old paths where is the good way. And walk in it, and ye shall find rest for your souls. But they said, We will not walk.

²³ But this thing I commanded them, saying, Hearken to my voice, and I will be your God, and ye shall be my people. And walk ye in all the way that I command you, that it may be well with you. ²⁴ But they hearkened not, nor inclined their ear, but walked in their own counsels, in the stubbornness of their evil heart, and went backward, and not forward.

²³ and they fetched forth Uriah out of Egypt, and brought him to Jehoiakim the king, who killed him with the sword, and cast his dead body into the graves of the common people.

¹⁴ The words of Jonadab the son of Rechab, that he commanded his sons, not to drink wine, are performed. And to this day they drink none, for they obey their father's commandment. But I have spoken to you, rising up early and speaking, and ye have not hearkened to me.

⁴ However I sent all my servants the prophets to you, rising up early and sending them, saying, Oh, do not do this abominable thing that I hate. ⁵ But they hearkened not, nor inclined their ear to turn from their wickedness, to burn no incense to other gods. ⁶ Therefore my wrath and my anger was poured forth, and was kindled in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem, and they are wasted and desolate, as it is this day.

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

¹³ It is because of the sins of her prophets, and the iniquities of her priests, who have shed the blood of the just in the midst of her.

² The more the prophets called them, the more they went from them. They sacrificed to the Baalim, and burned incense to graven images.

⁷ And my people are bent on backsliding from me. Though they call them to him who is on high, none at all will exalt him.

²³ Be glad then, ye sons of Zion, and rejoice in LORD your God, for he gives you the former rain in just measure, and he causes the rain to come down for you, the former rain and the latter rain, in the first month.

⁴ Be ye not as your fathers, to whom the former prophets cried, saying, Thus says LORD of hosts: Return ye now from your evil ways, and from your evil doings, but they did not hear, nor hearken to me, says LORD.

³⁵ And the farmers having taken his bondmen, they beat one, and killed another, and stoned another. ³⁶ Again, he sent other bondmen more than the first, and they did to them in like manner.

³ And he sent forth his bondmen to call those who were invited to the wedding festivities, and they did not want to come.

⁶ and the others having seized his bondmen, abused and killed them.

³⁷ O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, who kills the prophets, and stones those who have been sent to her. How often I wanted to gathered thy children together the way a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and ye would not. ³⁸ Behold, your house is left to you desolate. 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.

²⁸ But he was angry, and would not go in. Therefore, his father having come out, he called him.

⁴¹ And when he came near, having seen the city, he wept over it, ⁴² saying, If thou knew, even thou, indeed even in this thy day, the things for thy peace. But now they are hidden from thine eyes.

⁴⁴ And they will raze thee and thy children within thee. And they will not leave in thee a stone upon a stone, because thou knew not the time of thy visitation.

²⁸ But having turning to them, Jesus said, Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, instead weep for yourselves and for your children.

¹⁴ But ye denied the Holy and Righteous, and asked for a man, a murderer to be granted to you. ¹⁵ And ye killed the Pathfinder of life, whom God raised from the dead, of which we are witnesses.

⁵² Which of the prophets did your fathers not persecute? And they killed those who foretold about the coming of the Righteous man, of whom ye now have become betrayers and murderers,

⁵⁹ And they stoned Stephen, who was calling and saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.

¹ And Saul was approving the killing of him. And on that day there developed a great persecution against the church at Jerusalem. And they were all scattered throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria, except the apostles.

²⁵ For Hagar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and it corresponds to the present Jerusalem, and is in bondage with her children. ²⁶ But the Jerusalem above is free, which is mother of us all.

⁸ And their corpses are in the thoroughfare of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also their Lord was crucified.

³¹ And I will make your cities a waste, and will bring your sanctuaries to desolation, and I will not smell the savor of your sweet odors. ³² And I will bring the land into desolation, and your enemies who dwell in it shall be astonished at it.

²⁵ Let their habitation be desolate. Let none dwell in their tents.

²⁶ Blessed be he who comes in the name of LORD. We have blessed you out of the house of LORD.

⁷ Your country is desolate. Your cities are burned with fire. Your land-strangers devour it in your presence, and it is desolate, as overthrown by strangers. ⁸ And the daughter of Zion is left as a booth in a vineyard, as a shed in a garden of cucumbers, as a besieged city.

⁵ And now I will tell you what I will do to my vineyard. I will take away the hedge of it, and it shall be eaten up. I will break down the wall of it, and it shall be trodden down. ⁶ And I will lay it waste. It shall not be pruned nor hoed, but there shall come up briers and thorns. I will also command the clouds that they rain no rain upon it.

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. 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.

⁷ How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him who brings good news, who publishes peace, who brings good news of good, who publishes salvation, who says to Zion, Thy God reigns!

¹⁰ Thy holy cities have become a wilderness. Zion has become a wilderness, Jerusalem a desolation. ¹¹ Our holy and our beautiful house, where our fathers praised thee, is burned with fire, and all our pleasant places are laid waste.

⁵ But if ye will not hear these words, I swear by myself, says LORD, that this house shall become a desolation.

²⁶ And after the sixty-two weeks the anointed one shall be cut off, and shall have nothing. And the people of the prince who shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary, and the end of it shall be with a flood. And even to the end shall be war; desolations are determined. ²⁷ And he shall make a firm covenant with many for one week. And in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease. And upon the wing of abominations shall come one who makes desolate. And even to the full end, and that determined, wrath shall be poured out upon the desolate.

⁴ For the sons of Israel shall abide many days without king, and without ruler, and without sacrifice, and without pillar, and without ephod or teraphim. 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.

¹² Therefore for your sake Zion shall be plowed as a field, and Jerusalem shall become heaps, and the mountain of the house as the high places of a forest.

¹ Open thy doors, O Lebanon, that the fire may devour thy cedars. ² Wail, O fir tree, for the cedar is fallen, because the fine ones are destroyed. Wail, O ye oaks of Bashan, for the strong forest has come down.

¹⁰ And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplication. And they shall look to me whom they have pierced. And they shall mourn for him, as a man mourns for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as a man who is in bitterness for his firstborn.

² For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle. And the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished, and half of the city shall go forth into captivity. And the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city.

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!

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!

⁵ And as some spoke about the temple, that it was adorned with fine stones and gifts, he said, ⁶ These things that ye see, the days will come during which there will not be left a stone upon a stone that will not be thrown down.

²⁴ And they will fall by the jaw of the sword, and will be led away captive into all the nations. And Jerusalem will be trampled down by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.

³⁴ Ye will seek me, and will not find me, and where I am, ye cannot come. 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? ³⁶ What is this word that he said, Ye will seek me, and will not find me, and, Where I am, ye cannot come?

²² The Jews therefore said, Will he kill himself, because he says, Where I go, ye cannot come? ²³ And he said to them, Ye are from below, I am from above. Ye are of this world, I am not of this world. ²⁴ I said therefore to you that ye will die in your sins. For unless ye believe that I am he, ye will die in your sins.

¹³ took the branches of the palm trees, and went forth to meet him, and cried out, Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord, the King of Israel!

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.

¹⁹ Yet a little while, and the world sees me no more, but ye see me. Because I live, ye will also live. ²⁰ In that day ye will know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you. 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.

¹³ And they put forward false witnesses who said, This man does not cease speaking blasphemous sayings against the holy place, and the law. ¹⁴ For we have heard him saying that this Jesus the Nazarene will destroy this place, and will change the customs that Moses delivered to us.

⁹ that if thou will confess with thy mouth, the Lord Jesus, and will believe in thy heart that God raised him from the dead, thou will be saved. ¹⁰ For a man believes in the heart for righteousness, and he confesses with the mouth for salvation. ¹¹ For the scripture says, Every man who believes in him will not be shamed. 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. ¹³ For every man, whoever may call upon the name of the Lord will be saved. ¹⁴ How then will they call on whom they have not believed? And how will they believe of whom they have not heard? And how will they hear without preaching? ¹⁵ And how will they preach unless they are sent? Just as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of those who proclaim good news of peace, of those who proclaim good news of good things.

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.
