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. ⁶ And ye are going to hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that ye not be alarmed, for all the things must happen, but the end is not yet. ⁷ For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines and plagues and earthquakes in places. ⁸ But all these things are the beginning of travail. ⁹ Then they will deliver you up for tribulation, and will kill you, and ye will be hated by all the nations because of my name. ¹⁰ And then many will be caused to stumble, and they will betray each other and will hate each other. ¹¹ And many false prophets will arise, and will lead many astray. ¹² And because of the increased lawlessness, the love of the many will become cold. ¹³ But he who endures to the end, this man will be saved. ¹⁴ And this good news of the kingdom will be proclaimed in the whole world for a testimony to all the nations, and then the end will come. ¹⁵ When therefore ye see the abomination of desolation that was spoken of through Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place (let him who reads understand), ¹⁶ then let those in Judea flee to the mountains. ¹⁷ Let the man on the housetop not go down to take things from his house. ¹⁸ And let the man in the field not return back to take his clothes. ¹⁹ And woe to those who have in the womb and to those who suckle in those days. ²⁰ And pray ye that your flight may not happen in winter, nor on a sabbath, ²¹ for then there will be great tribulation, such as not has happened from the beginning of the world until now, nor, no, it will not happen. ²² And if those days were not shortened, no flesh would be saved. But because of the chosen those days will be shortened. ²³ Then if any man should say to you, Lo, here is the Christ, or, Here, believe ye not. ²⁴ For there will arise false Christs and false prophets, and they will give great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, even the chosen. ²⁵ Behold, I have foretold it to you. ²⁶ If therefore they should say to you, Behold, he is in the wilderness, do not go forth. Behold, he is in the inner chambers, do not believe. ²⁷ For as the lightning comes out from the east, and shines as far as the west, so also will be the coming of the Son of man. ²⁸ For wherever the carcass may be, there the vultures will be gathered together. ²⁹ But straightaway after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light. And the stars will fall from the sky, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. ³⁰ And then the sign of the Son of man will appear in the sky. And then all the tribes of the earth will beat the breast, and they will see the Son of man coming in the clouds of the sky with power and much glory. ³¹ And he will send forth his agents with a great trumpet sound, and they will gather together his chosen from the four winds, from the boundaries of the heavens-as far as their boundaries. ³² Now learn a parable from the fig tree. When its branch now becomes tender, and sprouts leaves, ye know that the summer is near. ³³ So ye also, when ye see all these things, know that it is near, at the doors. ³⁴ Truly I say to you, this generation will, no, not pass away, until all these things happen. ³⁵ The sky and the earth will pass away, but my words may, no, not pass away. ³⁶ But about that day and hour no man knows, not even the agents of the heavens, except my Father only. ³⁷ And as the days of Noah, so also will be the coming of the Son of man. ³⁸ For as in the days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage until that day Noah entered into the ark. ³⁹ And they knew not until the flood came, and took them all away. So also will be the coming of the Son of man. ⁴⁰ Then two men will be in the field, one is taken, and one is left. ⁴¹ Two women grinding at the mill, one is taken, and one is left. ⁴² Watch therefore, because ye know not at what hour your Lord comes. ⁴³ But know this, that if the house-ruler had known in what watch the thief was coming, he would have watched, and would not have allowed his house to be broken into. ⁴⁴ Because of this ye also be ready, because in that hour ye think not the Son of man comes. ⁴⁵ Who then is the faithful and wise bondman, whom his lord appointed over his service, to give them the provision on time? ⁴⁶ Blessed is that bondman, whom his lord when he comes will find so doing. ⁴⁷ Truly I say to you, that he will appoint him over all things being possessed by him. ⁴⁸ But if that evil bondman should say in his heart, My lord is late coming, ⁴⁹ and should begin to beat the fellow bondmen, and to eat and drink with the drunken, ⁵⁰ the lord of that bondman will come in a day that he does not expect, and in an hour that he is not aware, 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.

¹ And as he went forth out of the temple, one of his disciples says to him, Teacher, see what kind of stones and what kind of buildings. ² And Jesus having answered, he said to him, See thou these great buildings? There will be left, no, not a stone upon a stone, that will, no, not be brought down. ³ And as he sat upon the mount of Olives opposite the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew questioned him privately, 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. ⁶ For many will come in my name, saying, I am, and they will lead many astray. ⁷ And when ye may hear of wars and rumors of wars, be not alarmed, for it must happen, but the end is not yet. ⁸ For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be earthquakes in various places, and there will be famines and troubles. These things are the beginnings of travails. ⁹ But watch ye yourselves, for they will deliver you up to councils, and ye will be beaten in synagogues. And ye will be stood before rulers and kings because of me, for a testimony to them. ¹⁰ And the good news must first be preached to all the nations. ¹¹ But when they lead you, delivering you up, be not anxious before what ye might speak, nor meditate. But whatever may be given you in that hour, speak ye this, for ye are not who speak, but the Holy Spirit. ¹² And brother will betray brother to death, and a father a child. And children will rise up against parents, and will condemn them to death. ¹³ And ye will be hated by all men because of my name, but he who endures to the end, this man will be saved. ¹⁴ But when ye see the abomination of desolation, which was spoken by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not (let him who reads understand), then let those in Judea flee to the mountains, ¹⁵ and let the man on the housetop not go down into the house, nor enter in to take anything out of his house, ¹⁶ and let the man who is in the field not turn back for the things behind, to take his cloak. ¹⁷ But woe to those who have in the womb, and to those who suckle in those days. ¹⁸ And pray ye that your flight may not be in winter. ¹⁹ For those days will be tribulation, such as has not happened from the beginning of the creation that God created until now, and no, will not happen. ²⁰ And unless the Lord cut short the days, no flesh would have been saved, but because of the chosen, whom he chose, he cut short the days. ²¹ And then if any man should say to you, Lo, here is the Christ, or, Lo, there, do not believe. ²² For false Christs and false prophets will arise, and will give signs and wonders, in order to lead astray, if possible, even the chosen. ²³ But watch ye. Behold, I have foretold all to you. ²⁴ But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, ²⁵ and the stars of the sky will be falling, and the powers that are in the heavens will be shaken. ²⁶ And then they will see the Son of man coming in clouds with much power and glory. 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 But learn a parable from the fig tree. When its branch now becomes tender, and sprouts the leaves, ye know that summer is near. ²⁹ So ye also, when ye may see these things happening, know ye that it is near, at the doors. ³⁰ Truly I say to you, that this generation will, no, not pass away, until all these things happen. ³¹ The sky and the earth will pass away, but my words may, no, not pass away. ³² But about that day or that hour no man knows, not even the agents in heaven, nor the Son, but the Father. ³³ Watch ye! Be alert and pray, for ye know not when the time is, ³⁴ like a man abroad, having left his house, and having given authority to his bondmen, and to each man his work, and commanded the doorkeeper that he should watch. ³⁵ Watch therefore, for ye know not when the lord of the house comes, at evening, or at midnight, or at cock crowing, or in the morning, ³⁶ lest having come suddenly, he may find you sleeping. ³⁷ And what I say to you I say to all, watch!

And Israel shall be a proverb and a byword among all peoples. ⁸ And though this house is so high, yet shall every man who passes by it be astonished, and shall hiss. And they shall say, Why has LORD done thus to this land, and to this house? ⁹ and they shall answer, Because they forsook LORD their God, who brought forth their fathers out of the land of Egypt, and laid hold on other gods, and worshiped them, and served them; therefore has LORD brought all this evil upon them.

Behold, I, even I, have seen it, says LORD. ¹² But go ye now to my place which was in Shiloh, where I caused my name to dwell at the first, and see what I did to it for the wickedness of my people Israel. ¹³ And now, because ye have done all these works, says LORD. And I spoke to you, rising up early and speaking, but ye heard not, and I called you, but ye answered not, ¹⁴ therefore I will do to the house, which is called by my name, in which ye trust, and to the place which I gave to you and to your fathers, as I did to Shiloh.

⁶ then I will make this house like Shiloh, and will make this city a curse to all the nations of the earth.

⁹ Why have thou prophesied in the name of LORD, saying, This house shall be like Shiloh, and this city shall be desolate, without inhabitant? And all the people were gathered to Jeremiah in the house of LORD.

⁶ And he has taken away his tabernacle violently, as a garden. He has destroyed his place of assembly. LORD has caused solemn assembly and sabbath to be forgotten in Zion. And in the indignation of his anger has despised the king and the priest. ⁷ The Lord has cast off his altar. He has abhorred his sanctuary. He has given up the walls of her palaces into the hand of the enemy. They have made a noise in the house of LORD, as in the day of a solemn assembly. ⁸ LORD has purposed to destroy the wall of the daughter of Zion. He has stretched out the line. He has not withdrawn his hand from destroying. And he has made the rampart and wall to lament, they languish together.

¹ How the gold has become dim, the most pure gold changed! The stones of the sanctuary are poured out at the head of every street.

²⁰ As for the beauty of his ornament, he set it in majesty, but they made the images of their abominations, and their detestable things in it.

And robbers shall enter into it, and profane it.

²⁶ And after the sixty-two weeks the anointed one shall be cut off, and shall have nothing.

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.

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.

⁵ And having answered them, Jesus began to say to them, Watch that not any man lead you astray. ⁶ For many will come in my name, saying, I am, and they will lead many astray.

²¹ And then if any man should say to you, Lo, here is the Christ, or, Lo, there, do not believe. ²² For false Christs and false prophets will arise, and will give signs and wonders, in order to lead astray, if possible, even the chosen. ²³ But watch ye. Behold, I have foretold all to you.

²³ And they will say to you, Lo, here! Lo, there! Do not depart, nor pursue.

⁹ But a certain man in the city, Simon by name, was formerly practicing sorcery, and fascinating the nation of Samaria, saying himself to be some great man, ¹⁰ to whom they gave heed, from small to great, saying, This man is the great power of God.

¹³ For such men are false apostles, deceitful workmen, disguising themselves into apostles of Christ. ¹⁴ And no marvel, for even Satan disguises himself into an agent of light. ¹⁵ Therefore, it is no great thing if his helpers also disguise themselves as helpers of righteousness, whose end will be according to their works.

⁶ Let no man deceive you by empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience.

³ Let not any man deceive you in any way, because if not, the defection may come first, and he may be revealed-the man of sin, the son of destruction,

⁹ Whose coming is according to the working of Satan with all power and signs and marvels of deceit, ¹⁰ and in all deception of unrighteousness in those who are perishing, in return for which, they did not accept the love of the truth in order for them to be saved. ¹¹ And because of this God will send them the force of a delusion, for them to believe a lie,

¹ God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. ² Therefore we will not fear, though the earth changes, and though the mountains are shaken into the heart of the seas,

⁷ He shall not be afraid of evil tidings. His heart is fixed, trusting in LORD.

²⁵ Be not afraid of sudden fear, nor of the desolation of the wicked, when it comes. ²⁶ For LORD will be thy confidence, and will keep thy foot from being taken.

¹² Say ye not, A conspiracy, concerning all of which this people shall say, A conspiracy, nor fear ye their fear, nor be in dread of it.

¹² I, even I, am he who comforts you. Who are thou, that thou are afraid of man who shall die, and of the son of man who shall be made as grass, ¹³ and have forgotten LORD thy maker, who stretched forth the heavens, and laid the foundations of the earth, and fear continually all the day because of the fury of the oppressor, when he makes ready to destroy? And where is the fury of the oppressor?

¹⁹ My anguish, my anguish! I am pained at my very heart. My heart is disquieted in me. I cannot hold my peace, because thou have heard, O my soul, the sound of the trumpet, the alarm of war. ²⁰ Destruction upon destruction is cried, for the whole land is laid waste. Suddenly my tents are destroyed, and my curtains in a moment.

⁶ And ye are going to hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that ye not be alarmed, for all the things must happen, but the end is not yet. ⁷ For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines and plagues and earthquakes in places. ⁸ But all these things are the beginning of travail.

⁷ And when ye may hear of wars and rumors of wars, be not alarmed, for it must happen, but the end is not yet. ⁸ For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be earthquakes in various places, and there will be famines and troubles. These things are the beginnings of travails.

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.

¹⁸ And, no, not a hair of your head will perish. ¹⁹ In your perseverance ye gain your souls.

²⁸ And when these things begin to happen, stand upright, and lift up your heads, because your redemption approaches.

⁵ And in those times there was no peace to him who went out, nor to him who came in, but great vexations were upon all the inhabitants of the lands. ⁶ And they were broken in pieces, nation against nation, and city against city. For God vexed them with all adversity.

² And I will stir up the Egyptians against the Egyptians, and they shall fight each one against his brother, and each one against his neighbor, city against city, kingdom against kingdom.

²¹ Speak to Zerubbabel, governor of Judah, saying, I will shake the heavens and the earth. ²² And I will overthrow the throne of kingdoms, and I will destroy the strength of the kingdoms of the nations. And I will overthrow the chariots, and those who ride in them. And the horses and their riders shall come down, each one by the sword of his brother.

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. ³ Then LORD shall go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle.

¹³ And it shall come to pass in that day, that a great tumult from LORD shall be among them, and they shall lay hold each one on the hand of his neighbor, and his hand shall rise up against the hand of his neighbor.

⁸ For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be earthquakes in various places, and there will be famines and troubles. These things are the beginnings of travails.

¹⁹ And I will give wonders in the heaven above, and signs on the earth beneath, blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke. ²⁰ The sun will be changed into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and wonderful day of the Lord comes.

²⁸ And one of them named Agabus, after standing up, signified by the Spirit there was going be a great famine in the whole world, which also happened under Claudius Caesar.

²⁷ And the, Yet once, signifies the removal of the things being shaken-as of things that were made-so that the things not being shaken may remain.

² And behold, a white horse, and he who sits on it having a bow. And a crown was given to him, and he went forth conquering, and so that he might conquer. ³ And when he opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature saying, Come. ⁴ And another horse came forth, fiery red. And it was given to him (to him who sits on it) to take peace from the earth, so that they would kill each other. And a great sword was given to him. ⁵ And when he opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature saying, Come and see. And behold, a black horse, and he who sits on it having a balance in his hand. ⁶ And I heard a voice in the midst of the four living creatures saying, A measure of wheat for a denarius, and three measures of barley for a denarius. And thou may not harm the olive oil and the wine. ⁷ And when he opened the fourth seal, I heard the fourth living creature saying, Come and see. ⁸ And behold, a green horse, and he who sits on top of it. His name was Death, and Hades followed with him. And authority was given to him over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with starvation, and with what is deadly, and by the beasts of the earth. ⁹ And when he opened the fifth seal, I saw underneath the altar the souls of those who had been killed because of the word of God, and because of the testimony of the Lamb that they held. ¹⁰ And they cried out in a great voice, saying, Master, Holy and True, how long do thou not judge and avenge our blood from those who dwell on the earth? ¹¹ And a white robe was given to them each, and it was said to them that they should still rest a time, until also their fellow bondmen, and their brothers, and those going to be killed as they too, would be fulfilled. ¹² And I looked when he opened the sixth seal, and a great earthquake occurred, and the sun became black as hairy sackcloth, and the whole moon became as blood.

²⁹ But straightaway after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light. And the stars will fall from the sky, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. ³⁰ And then the sign of the Son of man will appear in the sky. And then all the tribes of the earth will beat the breast, and they will see the Son of man coming in the clouds of the sky with power and much glory.

²⁵ And there will be signs in sun and moon and stars, and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity, roaring of sea and of tossing, ²⁶ fainting of men from fear, and of anticipation of the things coming upon the world, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken. ²⁷ And then they will see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and much glory.

¹⁶ Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves. Become ye therefore wise as serpents, and innocent as doves. ¹⁷ But beware of men, for they will deliver you up to councils, and they will scourge you in their synagogues, ¹⁸ and ye will be brought to governors and even kings because of me, for a witness to them and to the Gentiles. ¹⁹ But when they deliver you up, be not anxious how or what ye should speak, for it will be given you in that hour what ye will speak. ²⁰ For ye are not who speak, but the Spirit of your Father speaking in you. ²¹ And a brother will deliver up a brother to death, and a father a child. And children will rise up against parents, and condemn them to death. ²² And ye will be hated by all men because of my name, but he who endures to the end, this man will be saved. ²³ But when they persecute you in this city, flee into the other, for truly I say to you, ye will, no, not have completed the cities of Israel, until the Son of man comes. ²⁴ A pupil is not above his teacher, nor a bondman above his lord. ²⁵ It is enough for the pupil that he becomes like his teacher, and the bondman like his lord. If they have called the house-ruler Beelzebub, how much more those of his household.

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

³⁴ Because of this, behold, I send to you prophets, and wise men, and scholars. And some of them ye will kill and crucify, and some of them ye will scourge in your synagogues, and will persecute from city to city, ³⁵ so that upon you may come all the righteous blood shed on the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zachariah son of Barachiah, whom ye murdered between the sanctuary and the altar. ³⁶ Truly I say to you, that all these things will come upon this generation.

⁹ Then they will deliver you up for tribulation, and will kill you, and ye will be hated by all the nations because of my name. ¹⁰ And then many will be caused to stumble, and they will betray each other and will hate each other.

⁹ But watch ye yourselves, for they will deliver you up to councils, and ye will be beaten in synagogues. And ye will be stood before rulers and kings because of me, for a testimony to them. ¹⁰ And the good news must first be preached to all the nations. ¹¹ But when they lead you, delivering you up, be not anxious before what ye might speak, nor meditate. But whatever may be given you in that hour, speak ye this, for ye are not who speak, but the Holy Spirit. ¹² And brother will betray brother to death, and a father a child. And children will rise up against parents, and will condemn them to death. ¹³ And ye will be hated by all men because of my name, but he who endures to the end, this man will be saved.

⁴⁹ Because of this also the wisdom of God said, I will send to them prophets and apostles. And some of them they will kill and persecute, ⁵⁰ so that the blood of all the prophets that was shed from the foundation of the world may be required of this generation, ⁵¹ from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zachariah, who perished between the altar and the sanctuary. Yes, I say to you, it will be required of this generation.

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.

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. ³ And they will do these things, because they have not known the Father nor me.

³ And they threw hands on them, and put them in custody for the morrow, for it was now evening. ⁴ But many of those who heard the word believed, and the number of the men became about five thousand. ⁵ And it came to pass on the morrow, to be assembled in Jerusalem, their rulers, and elders, and scholars, ⁶ and Annas the high priest, and Caiaphas, and John, and Alexander, and as many as were of the high priestly family. ⁷ And after placing them in the midst, they inquired, By what power, or in what name, have ye done this?

¹⁷ But after rising up, the high priest and all those with him (being the sect of the Sadducees) were filled of envy. ¹⁸ And they threw their hands on the apostles, and put them in the public prison. ¹⁹ But an agent of the Lord opened the prison doors by night, and after leading them out, he said,

⁴⁰ And they were persuaded by him. And after summoning the apostles, having beat them, they commanded them not to speak in the name of Jesus, and released them.

¹² And they incited the people, and the elders, and the scholars. And after approaching, they seized him, and brought him to the council. 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. ¹⁵ And all who sat in the council, having gazed upon him, saw his face like a face of an agent.

⁵⁷ But they, having cried out in a great voice, held their ears shut, and rushed upon him with one accord. ⁵⁸ And having expelled him out of the city, they stoned him. And the witnesses laid down their garments beside the feet of a young man called Saul. ⁵⁹ And they stoned Stephen, who was calling and saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit. ⁶⁰ And having knelt down, he cried out in a great voice, Lord, place not this sin to them. And after saying this, he slept.

³ But Saul was ravaging the church, entering from house to house. Dragging both men and women, he gave them over to prison.

⁴ And after falling to the ground, he heard a voice saying to him, Saul, Saul, why do thou persecute me?

¹ Now about that time Herod the king threw on hands to harm some of those from the church. ² And he killed James the brother of John with the sword. ³ And after seeing that it was pleasing the Jews, he proceeded to arrest Peter also (and those were the days of unleavened bread), ⁴ whom, having also arrested, he put in prison, having delivered to four quaternions of soldiers to guard him, intending after the Passover to bring him forth to the people.

²² And the multitude rose up together against them. And the magistrates, having torn off their clothes, commanded to beat them with rods. ²³ And having laid many blows upon them, they cast them into prison, having ordered the jailor to guard them securely, ²⁴ who, having received such an order, threw them into the inner prison, and fastened their feet in the stocks. ²⁵ Now toward midnight Paul and Silas, while praying, were singing praises to God, and the prisoners were listening to them. ²⁶ And suddenly a great earthquake occurred, so as for the foundations of the prison to shake. And immediately all the doors were opened, and the bonds of all the men were unfastened.

³⁰ And the whole city was moved, and there developed a running together of the people. And having taken Paul they dragged him out of the temple, and straightaway the doors were shut. ³¹ And while seeking to kill him, a report went up to the chief captain of the band, that all Jerusalem has been stirred up.

³⁰ But on the morrow, wanting to know the certainty of why he was accused by the Jews, he loosed him from the bonds, and commanded the chief priests and all their council to come. And having brought Paul down, he set him before them.

¹ And after five days Ananias the high priest came down with the elders, and a certain orator, Tertullus, who appeared to the governor against Paul. ² And when he was called, Tertullus began to accuse him, saying, Experiencing much peace because of thee, and worthy deeds happening to this nation because of thy foresight, ³ we welcome, both always and everywhere, eminent Felix, with all thankfulness. ⁴ But, that I may not detain thee on more, I entreat thee in thy clemency to hear us briefly. ⁵ For we have found this man a plague, who even instigates sedition among all the Jews throughout the world, and a ringleader of the sect of the Nazarenes, ⁶ who also attempted to profane the temple, whom also we took, ⁷ [This verse is not in the majority of the Greek manuscripts.] ⁸ from whom thou will be able, having examined him, to learn about all these things of which we accuse him. ⁹ And the Jews also agreed, claiming to have these things this way.

¹ Festus therefore having entered into the province, after three days he went up to Jerusalem from Caesarea. ² And the high priest and the principal men of the Jews appeared to him against Paul, and urged him,

¹¹ For if I am indeed wrong, and have done anything worthy of death, I do not refuse to die, but if there is nothing of what these men accuse me, no man can give me to them freely. I appeal Caesar. ¹² Then Festus, when he conferred with the council, answered, Thou have appealed Caesar, to Caesar thou will go.

²² And Agrippa said to Festus, I also want to hear the man myself. And tomorrow, he says, thou will hear him. ²³ Therefore on the morrow, Agrippa and Bernice having come with great pomp, and having entered into the courtroom, and with the chief captains and the men of prominence who were of the city, and Festus who commanded, Paul was brought in. ²⁴ And Festus says, King Agrippa, and all who are present with us, ye see this man about whom all the multitude of the Jews appealed to me, both at Jerusalem and here, shouting he ought not to live any longer. ²⁵ But I, having understood him to have done nothing worthy of death, and also him, this man, having appealed Augustus I decided to send him.

² Concerning all things of which I am accused by the Jews, King Agrippa, I consider myself blessed, being about to make my defense before thee today. ³ Especially thee, being an expert of all things regarding Jews, both habits and issues. Therefore I beg thee to hear me patiently. ⁴ Indeed therefore, my manner of life from youth, having developed from the beginning among my nation at Jerusalem, all the Jews know, ⁵ having known me previously from the beginning, if they were willing to testify, that according to the strictest party of our religion I lived a Pharisee. ⁶ And now for the hope of the promise made by God to the fathers, I stand being judged, ⁷ to which our twelve tribes, serving in earnestness night and day, hope to attain, about which hope, King Agrippa, I am accused by the Jews! ⁸ Why is it judged incredible with you, if God raises the dead? ⁹ Indeed therefore I thought it necessary for myself to do many things contrary to the name of Jesus the Nazarene, ¹⁰ which also I did at Jerusalem. And I locked up many of the sanctified in prisons, having received authority from the chief priests. And when they were killed, I gave a vote against them. ¹¹ And punishing them often at all the synagogues, I compelled them to blaspheme. And being extraordinarily furious toward them, I persecuted them even as far as to outside cities.

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

¹³ Therefore because of the Lord, ye should submit to every human establishment, whether to a king as being supreme,

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.

¹⁰ Fear none of the things that thou are going to suffer. Behold, the devil is indeed going to cast some of you into prison, so that ye may be tried, and ye will have tribulation ten days. Become thou faithful until death, and I will give thee the crown of life.

¹² But I want you to know, brothers, that the things in respect to me have come more for the advancement of the good news,

²⁸ And not being frightened in anything by those who oppose, which is indeed a sign of destruction to them, but to you of salvation, and this from God.

³ for no man to be disturbed by these afflictions. For ye yourselves know that we are set for this. ⁴ For also when we were with you we foretold you that we were going to be oppressed, just as it also happened, and ye know.

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.

¹⁹ But when they deliver you up, be not anxious how or what ye should speak, for it will be given you in that hour what ye will speak. ²⁰ For ye are not who speak, but the Spirit of your Father speaking in you.

¹¹ But when they lead you, delivering you up, be not anxious before what ye might speak, nor meditate. But whatever may be given you in that hour, speak ye this, for ye are not who speak, but the Holy Spirit.

¹¹ And when they bring you to the synagogues, and the principle positions, and the offices of authority, be not anxious how or what ye should answer in defense, or what ye should say, ¹² for the Holy Spirit will teach you in the same hour what ye ought to say.

¹¹ And LORD said to him, Who has made man's mouth? Or who makes a man dumb, or deaf, or seeing, or blind? Is it not I, LORD? ¹² Now therefore go, and I will be with thy mouth, and teach thee what thou shall speak.

⁶ For LORD gives wisdom. Out of his mouth is knowledge and understanding.

⁹ Then LORD put forth his hand, and touched my mouth. And LORD said to me, Behold, I have put my words in thy mouth.

¹² for the Holy Spirit will teach you in the same hour what ye ought to say.

⁴⁵ Then he opened their mind to understand the scriptures.

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

⁸ Then Peter being filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, Rulers of the people, and elders of Israel, ⁹ if we are examined today about a good deed, of a feeble man, by what this man has been healed, ¹⁰ be it known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that in the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, by this, this man stands here before you healthy. ¹¹ This is the stone that was rejected by you who build, which became into the head of the corner. ¹² And salvation is not in any other man, for there is no other name under the heaven, that has been given among men, by which we must be saved. ¹³ Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and having perceived that they are illiterate and uneducated men, they marveled. And they recognized them, that they had been with Jesus.

³¹ And when they prayed, the place in which they were assembled was shaken, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they spoke the word of God with boldness. ³² And the multitude of those who believed were of one heart and soul. And not even one man said that anything of the things that was possessed by him was his own, but all things were common to them. ³³ And with great power the apostles gave back the testimony of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and great grace was upon them all.

¹⁰ And they were not able to withstand the wisdom and the spirit by which he spoke.

²⁵ And as he discoursed about righteousness, and self-control, and the judgment going to be, Felix, having become afraid, answered, Go now, and having a convenient time, I will summon thee.

²⁸ And Agrippa said to Paul, By a little thou persuade me to become a Christian.

¹⁹ and for me, so that utterance may be given to me in boldness in opening my mouth to make known the mystery of the good news,

³ Praying simultaneously about us also, so that God may open to us a door of the word, to speak the mystery of the Christ, because of which I have also been bound, ⁴ so that I may make it known as I ought to speak.

¹⁶ At my first defense no man came with me, but all forsook me. May it not be reckoned to them. ¹⁷ But the Lord stood by me and strengthened me, so that through me the sacred message might be brought to fullness, and all the Gentiles might hear. And I was rescued out of the mouth of the lion.

⁵ And if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask from God who gives to all generously and not reproaching, and it will be given to him.

⁴ Take ye heed each one of his neighbor, and trust ye not in any brother, for every brother will utterly supplant, and every neighbor will go about with slanders.

⁶ For even thy brothers, and the house of thy father, even they have dealt treacherously with thee, even they have cried aloud after thee. Believe them not, though they speak fair words to thee.

⁵ Trust ye not in a neighbor. Put ye not confidence in a friend. Keep the doors of thy mouth from her who lies in thy bosom. ⁶ For the son dishonors the father. The daughter rises up against her mother, the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. A man's enemies are the men of his own house.

²¹ And a brother will deliver up a brother to death, and a father a child. And children will rise up against parents, and condemn them to death.

¹² And brother will betray brother to death, and a father a child. And children will rise up against parents, and will condemn them to death.

⁵³ A father will be divided against a son, and a son against a father, a mother against a daughter, and a daughter against a mother, a mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.

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

² And he killed James the brother of John with the sword.

¹³ I know thy works, and where thou dwell, where Satan's throne is. And thou hold firm my name, and did not deny my faith in the days in which Antipas was my faithful witness, who was killed among you where Satan dwells.

⁹ And when he opened the fifth seal, I saw underneath the altar the souls of those who had been killed because of the word of God, and because of the testimony of the Lamb that they held.

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.

¹¹ Blessed are ye when they revile you, and persecute you, and say every evil word, being deceitful against you because of me.

²² And ye will be hated by all men because of my name, but he who endures to the end, this man will be saved.

⁹ Then they will deliver you up for tribulation, and will kill you, and ye will be hated by all the nations because of my name.

¹³ And ye will be hated by all men because of my name, but he who endures to the end, this man will be saved.

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.

⁷ The world cannot hate you, but it hates me because I testify about it, that its works are evil.

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.

²¹ But all these things they will do to you because of my name, because they have not known him who sent me.

¹⁴ I have given them thy word, and the world hated them, because they are not of the world, just as I am not of the world.

¹⁶ For I will give him a glimpse of how many things it is necessary for him to suffer for my name.

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

¹¹ For we who live are always given over to death for Jesus' sake, so that also the life of Jesus may be made visible in our mortal flesh.

¹⁰ Therefore I am pleased in weaknesses, in injuries, in necessities, in persecutions, in restrictions, for the sake of Christ. For when I am weak, then I am strong.

²⁹ Because to you it was granted on behalf of Christ, not only to believe in him, but also to suffer for him,

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.

³ And thou have perseverance. And thou endured because of my name, and did not become weary.

⁴⁵ And the people said to Saul, Shall Jonathan die, who has wrought this great salvation in Israel? Far from it. As LORD lives, there shall not one hair of his head fall to the ground, for he has wrought with God this day. So the people rescued Jonathan, that he did not die.

²⁹ And though men be risen up to pursue thee, and to seek thy soul, yet the soul of my lord shall be bound in the bundle of life with LORD thy God. And the souls of thine enemies, them he shall sling out as from the hollow of a sling.

¹¹ Then she said, I pray thee, let the king remember LORD thy God, that the avenger of blood not destroy any more, lest they destroy my son. And he said, As LORD lives, there shall not one hair of thy son fall to the earth.

³⁰ But even the hairs of your head are all numbered.

⁷ But even the hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not, therefore, ye are superior to many sparrows.

³⁴ Therefore I encourage you to take of food, for this is for your safety. For not a hair will fall from the head of one of you.

¹³ I believe that I shall see the goodness of LORD in the land of the living. ¹⁴ Wait for LORD. Be strong, and let thy heart take courage. Yea, wait thou for LORD.

⁷ Rest in LORD, and wait patiently for him. Fret not thyself because of him who prospers in his way, because of the man who brings wicked devices to pass.

¹ I waited patiently for LORD, and he inclined to me, and heard my cry.

¹³ But he who endures to the end, this man will be saved.

¹⁵ But those in the good ground, these are those who in an good and right heart, having heard the word, hold it firm, and bring forth fruit in perseverance.

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

³ And not only so, but we also take pride in our tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance,

²⁵ But if we hope for what we do not see, we wait through patience.

⁴ For as many things as were written previously were written for our learning, so that through perseverance and through the encouragement of the scriptures we might have hope.

³ remembering without ceasing your work of faith and labor of love and steadfastness of hope of our Lord Jesus Christ, before our God and Father.

⁵ And may the Lord direct your hearts for the love of God, and for the steadfastness of the Christ.

¹¹ And we earnestly desire each of you to show the same diligence toward the full assurance of the hope until the end,

¹⁵ And this way, having patiently endured, he obtained the promise.

³⁶ For ye have need of perseverance, so that, having done the will of God, ye may receive the promise.

³ knowing that the testing of your faith produces perseverance.

⁷ Be patient therefore, brothers, until the coming of the Lord. Behold, the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, being patient for it, until it receives the early and latter rain. ⁸ Be ye also patient. Establish your hearts, because the coming of the Lord has approached. ⁹ Do not grumble, brothers, against each other, so that ye not be judged. Behold, the judge stands before the doors. ¹⁰ Take an example, my brothers, of evil-suffering and longsuffering, the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord. ¹¹ Behold, we regard those who endured, blessed. Ye have heard of the fortitude of Job, and have seen the outcome of the Lord, that he is very compassionate and merciful.

⁹ I John, your brother and companion in the tribulation and kingdom and perseverance in Christ Jesus, happened to be on the isle that is called Patmos because of the word of God, and because of the testimony of Jesus Christ.

² I know thy works, and thy toil, and thy perseverance, and that thou cannot tolerate evil, and thou examined those who say themselves to be apostles, and are not, and found them false. ³ And thou have perseverance. And thou endured because of my name, and did not become weary.

¹⁰ Because thou keep the word of my perseverance, I also will keep thee from the hour of trial that is going to come upon the whole inhabited world, to try those who dwell upon the earth.

¹⁰ If any man keeps in captivity, he goes. If any man kills with a sword, he must be killed with a sword. Here is the perseverance and the faith of the sanctified.

¹² Here is the perseverance of the sanctified. Here are those who keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.

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.

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

⁴³ Because the days will come upon thee, and thine enemies will build a barricade around thee, and will surround thee, and enclose thee on every side.

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?

¹⁷ And it came to pass, when they had brought them forth abroad, that he said, Escape for thy life, do not look behind thee, neither stay thou in all the Plain. Escape to the mountain, lest thou be consumed.

²⁶ But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.

²⁰ He who feared the word of LORD among the servants of Pharaoh made his servants and his cattle flee into the houses. ²¹ And he who did not regard the word of LORD left his servants and his cattle in the field.

²⁶ And he spoke to the congregation, saying, Depart, I pray you, from the tents of these wicked men, and touch nothing of theirs, lest ye be consumed in all their sins.

³ A prudent man sees the evil, and hides himself, but the simple pass on, and suffer for it.

¹ Flee for safety, ye sons of Benjamin, out of the midst of Jerusalem. And blow the trumpet in Tekoa, and raise up a signal on Beth-haccherem. For evil looks forth from the north, and a great destruction.

¹¹ But it came to pass, when Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon came up into the land, that we said, Come, and let us go to Jerusalem for fear of the army of the Chaldeans, and for fear of the army of the Syrians. So we dwell at Jerusalem.

¹² then Jeremiah went forth out of Jerusalem to go into the land of Benjamin to receive his portion there in the midst of the people.

¹⁶ then let those in Judea flee to the mountains.

¹⁵ and let the man on the housetop not go down into the house, nor enter in to take anything out of his house,

³¹ In that day, he who will be on the housetop, and his vessels in the house, let him not go down to take them up. And let him who is in the field likewise not return for the things behind. ³² Remember Lot's wife. ³³ Whoever will seek to save his life will lose it, and whoever will lose it will keep it alive.

⁴ And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out from her, my people, so that ye may not participate with her sins, and that ye may not receive from her plagues.

¹⁴ But if ye will not hearken to me, and will not do all these commandments, ¹⁵ and if ye shall reject my statutes, and if your soul abhors my ordinances, so that ye will not do all my commandments, but break my covenant, ¹⁶ I also will do this to you: I will appoint terror over you, even consumption and fever, that shall consume the eyes, and make the soul to pine away. And ye shall sow your seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat it. ¹⁷ And I will set my face against you, and ye shall be smitten before your enemies. Those who hate you shall rule over you, and ye shall flee when no man pursues you. ¹⁸ And if for these things ye will not yet hearken to me, then I will chastise you seven times more for your sins. ¹⁹ And I will break the pride of your power. And I will make your sky as iron, and your earth as brass, ²⁰ and your strength shall be spent in vain, for your land shall not yield its increase, nor shall the trees of the land yield their fruit. ²¹ And if ye walk contrary to me, and will not hearken to me, I will bring seven times more plagues upon you according to your sins. ²² And I will send the beast of the field among you, which shall rob you of your sons, and destroy your cattle, and make you few in number, and your ways shall become desolate. ²³ And if by these things ye will not be reformed to me, but will walk contrary to me, ²⁴ then I also will walk contrary to you, and I will smite you, even I, seven times for your sins. ²⁵ And I will bring a sword upon you that shall execute the vengeance of the covenant, and ye shall be gathered together within your cities. And I will send the pestilence among you, and ye shall be delivered into the hand of the enemy. ²⁶ When I break your staff of bread, ten women shall bake your bread in one oven, and they shall deliver your bread again by weight, and ye shall eat, and not be satisfied. ²⁷ And if for all this ye will not hearken to me, but walk contrary to me, ²⁸ then I will walk contrary to you in wrath, and I also will chastise you seven times for your sins. ²⁹ And ye shall eat the flesh of your sons, and the flesh of your daughters ye shall eat. ³⁰ And I will destroy your high places, and cut down your sun-images, and cast your dead bodies upon the bodies of your idols, and my soul shall abhor you. 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. ³³ And I will scatter you among the nations, and I will draw out the sword after you, and your land shall be a desolation, and your cities shall be a waste.

¹⁵ But it shall come to pass, if thou will not hearken to the voice of LORD thy God, to observe to do all his commandments and his statutes which I command thee this day, that all these curses shall come upon thee, and overtake thee: ¹⁶ Cursed shall thou be in the city, and cursed shall thou be in the field. ¹⁷ Cursed shall be thy basket and thy kneading-trough. ¹⁸ Cursed shall be the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy ground, the increase of thy cattle, and the young of thy flock. ¹⁹ Cursed shall thou be when thou come in, and cursed shall thou be when thou go out. ²⁰ LORD will send upon thee cursing, discomfiture, and rebuke, in all that thou put thy hand to do, until thou be destroyed, and until thou perish quickly, because of the evil of thy doings, by which thou have forsaken me. ²¹ LORD will make the pestilence cling to thee, until he has consumed thee from off the land, where thou go in to possess it. ²² LORD will smite thee with consumption, and with fever, and with inflammation, and with fiery heat, and with the sword, and with blight, and with mildew. And they shall pursue thee until thou perish. ²³ And thy sky that is over thy head shall be brass, and the earth that is under thee shall be iron. ²⁴ LORD will make the rain of thy land powder and dust. From the sky it shall come down upon thee, until thou be destroyed. ²⁵ LORD will cause thee to be smitten before thine enemies. Thou shall go out one way against them, and shall flee seven ways before them. And thou shall be tossed to and fro among all the kingdoms of the earth. ²⁶ And thy dead body shall be food to all birds of the sky, and to the beasts of the earth, and there shall be none to frighten them away. ²⁷ LORD will smite thee with the boil of Egypt, and with the emerods, and with the scurvy, and with the itch, of which thou cannot be healed. ²⁸ LORD will smite thee with madness, and with blindness, and with confusion of mind, ²⁹ and thou shall grope at noonday, as the blind man gropes in darkness. And thou shall not prosper in thy ways. And thou shall only be oppressed and robbed always, and there shall be none to save thee. ³⁰ Thou shall betroth a wife, and another man shall lie with her. Thou shall build a house, and thou shall not dwell in it. Thou shall plant a vineyard, and shall not use the fruit of it. ³¹ Thine ox shall be slain before thine eyes, and thou shall not eat of it. Thy donkey shall be violently taken away from before thy face, and shall not be restored to thee. Thy sheep shall be given to thine enemies, and thou shall have none to save thee. ³² Thy sons and thy daughters shall be given to another people. And thine eyes shall look, and fail with longing for them all the day, and there shall be nothing in the power of thy hand. ³³ The fruit of thy ground, and all thy labors, shall a nation eat up which thou know not. And thou shall only be oppressed and crushed always, ³⁴ so that thou shall be mad because of the sight of thine eyes which thou shall see. ³⁵ LORD will smite thee in the knees, and in the legs, with a sore boil, of which thou cannot be healed, from the sole of thy foot to the crown of thy head. ³⁶ LORD will bring thee, and thy king whom thou shall set over thee, to a nation that thou have not known, thou nor thy fathers. And there thou shall serve other gods, wood and stone. ³⁷ And thou shall become an astonishment, a proverb, and a byword, among all the peoples where LORD shall lead thee away. ³⁸ Thou shall carry much seed out into the field, and shall gather little in, for the locust shall consume it. ³⁹ Thou shall plant vineyards and dress them, but thou shall neither drink of the wine, nor gather, for the worm shall eat them. ⁴⁰ Thou shall have olive trees throughout all thy borders, but thou shall not anoint thyself with the oil, for thine olive shall drop off. ⁴¹ Thou shall beget sons and daughters, but they shall not be thine, for they shall go into captivity. ⁴² All thy trees and the fruit of thy ground shall the locust possess. ⁴³ The sojourner who is in the midst of thee shall mount up above thee higher and higher, and thou shall come down lower and lower. ⁴⁴ He shall lend to thee, and thou shall not lend to him. He shall be the head, and thou shall be the tail. ⁴⁵ And all these curses shall come upon thee, and shall pursue thee, and overtake thee, till thou be destroyed, because thou hearkened not to the voice of LORD thy God, to keep his commandments and his statutes which he commanded thee, ⁴⁶ and they shall be upon thee for a sign and for a wonder, and upon thy seed forever. ⁴⁷ Because thou served not LORD thy God with joyfulness, and with gladness of heart, by reason of the abundance of all things, ⁴⁸ therefore thou shall serve thine enemies that LORD shall send against thee, in hunger, and in thirst, and in nakedness, and in want of all things. And he shall put a yoke of iron upon thy neck, until he has destroyed thee. ⁴⁹ LORD will bring a nation against thee from far, from the end of the earth, as the eagle flies, a nation whose tongue thou shall not understand, ⁵⁰ a nation of fierce countenance, that shall not regard the person of the old, nor show favor to the young, ⁵¹ and shall eat the fruit of thy cattle, and the fruit of thy ground, until thou be destroyed, that also shall not leave thee grain, new wine, or oil, the increase of thy cattle, or the young of thy flock, until they have caused thee to perish. ⁵² And they shall besiege thee in all thy gates, until thy high and fortified walls come down, in which thou trusted, throughout all thy land. And they shall besiege thee in all thy gates throughout all thy land, which LORD thy God has given thee. ⁵³ And thou shall eat the fruit of thine own body, the flesh of thy sons and of thy daughters, whom LORD thy God has given thee, in the siege and in the distress with which thine enemies shall distress thee. ⁵⁴ The man who is tender among you, and very delicate, his eye shall be evil toward his brother, and toward the wife of his bosom, and toward the remnant of his sons whom he has remaining, ⁵⁵ so that he will not give to any of them of the flesh of his sons whom he shall eat, because he has nothing left to him, in the siege and in the distress with which thine enemy shall distress thee in all thy gates. ⁵⁶ The tender and delicate woman among you, who would not adventure to set the sole of her foot upon the ground for delicateness and tenderness, her eye shall be evil toward the husband of her bosom, and toward her son, and toward her daughter, ⁵⁷ and toward her young one who comes out from between her feet, and toward her sons whom she shall bear, for she shall eat them secretly for want of all things, in the siege and in the distress with which thine enemy shall distress thee in thy gates. ⁵⁸ If thou will not observe to do all the words of this law that are written in this book, that thou may fear this glorious and fearful name, JEHOVAH THY GOD, ⁵⁹ then LORD will make thy calamities extraordinary, and the calamities of thy seed, even great calamities and of long continuance, and severe sicknesses and of long continuance. ⁶⁰ And he will bring upon thee again all the diseases of Egypt, which thou were afraid of, and they shall cling to thee. ⁶¹ Also every sickness, and every calamity, which is not written in the book of this law, them LORD will bring upon thee, until thou be destroyed. ⁶² And ye shall be left few in number, whereas ye were as the stars of heaven for multitude, because thou did not hearken to the voice of LORD thy God. ⁶³ And it shall come to pass, that, as LORD rejoiced over you to do you good, and to multiply you, so LORD will rejoice over you to cause you to perish, and to destroy you. And ye shall be plucked from off the land where thou go in to possess it. ⁶⁴ And LORD will scatter thee among all peoples, from the one end of the earth even to the other end of the earth. And there thou shall serve other gods, which thou have not known, thou nor thy fathers, even wood and stone. ⁶⁵ And among these nations thou shall find no ease, and there shall be no rest for the sole of thy foot, but LORD will give thee there a trembling heart, and failing of eyes, and pining of soul. ⁶⁶ And thy life shall hang in doubt before thee, and thou shall fear night and day, and shall have no assurance of thy life. ⁶⁷ In the morning thou shall say, Would it were evening! and at evening thou shall say, Would it were morning! for the fear of thy heart which thou shall fear, and for the sight of thine eyes which thou shall see. ⁶⁸ And LORD will bring thee into Egypt again with ships, by the way of which I said to thee, Thou shall see it no more again. And there ye shall sell yourselves to your enemies for bondmen and for bondwomen, and no man shall buy you.

¹⁹ and it comes to pass, when he hears the words of this curse, that he blesses himself in his heart, saying, I shall have peace, though I walk in the stubbornness of my heart, to destroy the moist with the dry. ²⁰ LORD will not pardon him, but then the anger of LORD and his jealousy will smoke against that man, and all the curse that is written in this book shall lie upon him, and LORD will blot out his name from under heaven. ²¹ And LORD will set him apart to evil out of all the tribes of Israel, according to all the curses of the covenant that is written in this book of the law. ²² And the generation to come, your sons who shall rise up after you, and the foreigner who shall come from a far land, shall say, when they see the calamities of that land, and the sicknesses with which LORD has made it sick. ²³ The whole land of it is brimstone, and salt, a burning. It is not sown, nor bears, nor any grass grows in it, like the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah, Admah and Zeboiim, which LORD overthrew in his anger, and in his wrath, ²⁴ even all the nations shall say, Why has LORD done thus to this land? What is the meaning of the heat of this great anger? ²⁵ Then men shall say, Because they forsook the covenant of LORD, the God of their fathers, which he made with them when he brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, ²⁶ and went and served other gods, and worshiped them, gods that they knew not, and that he had not given to them. ²⁷ Therefore the anger of LORD was kindled against this land, to bring upon it all the curse that is written in this book. ²⁸ And LORD rooted them out of their land in anger, and in wrath, and in great indignation, and cast them into another land, as at this day.

³⁴ Is not this laid up in store with me, sealed up among my treasures?

⁴³ Rejoice, O ye Gentiles, with his people. For he will avenge the blood of his servants, and will render vengeance to his adversaries, and will recompense those who hate him, and will make expiation for his land, for his people.

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.

⁷ to execute vengeance upon the nations, and punishments upon the peoples, ⁸ to bind their kings with chains, and their ranking men with fetters of iron, ⁹ to execute upon them the judgment written. All his sanctified have this honor. Praise ye LORD.

⁸ For LORD has a day of vengeance, a year of recompense for the cause of Zion.

² to proclaim the acceptable year of LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all who mourn,

⁴ For the day of vengeance was in my heart, and the year of my redeemed has come.

¹² I will destine you to the sword, and ye shall all bow down to the slaughter. Because when I called, ye did not answer, when I spoke, ye did not hear, but ye did that which was evil in my eyes, and chose that in which I did not delight. ¹³ Therefore thus says the lord LORD, Behold, my servants shall eat, but ye shall be hungry. Behold, my servants shall drink, but ye shall be thirsty. Behold, my servants shall rejoice, but ye shall be put to shame. ¹⁴ Behold, my servants shall sing for joy of heart, but ye shall cry for sorrow of heart, and shall wail for vexation of spirit. ¹⁵ And ye shall leave your name for a curse to my chosen, and the lord LORD will kill thee. And he will call his servants by another name, ¹⁶ so that he who blesses himself in the earth shall bless himself in the God of truth, and he who swears in the earth shall swear by the God of truth. Because the former troubles are forgotten, and because they are hid from my eyes.

⁶ Flee out of the midst of Babylon, and save every man his life. Be not cut off in her iniquity, for it is the time of LORD's vengeance; he will render to her a recompense.

²⁴ Seventy weeks are decreed upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most holy. ²⁵ Know therefore and discern, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem to the anointed one, the Prince, shall be seven weeks, and sixty-two weeks. It shall be built again, with street and moat, even in troublesome times.

⁷ The days of visitation have come. The days of recompense have come. Israel shall know it. The prophet is a fool, the spiritual man is mad, for the abundance of thine iniquity, and because the enmity is great.

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. ³ A voice of the wailing of the shepherds, for their glory is destroyed. A voice of the roaring of young lions, for the pride of the Jordan is laid waste.

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

¹ For, behold, the day comes, it burns as a furnace, and all the proud, and all who work wickedness, shall be stubble. And the day that comes shall burn them up, says LORD of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch.

²² Now all this has come to pass, so that what was spoken by the Lord through the prophet might be fulfilled, which says,

¹⁹ For those days will be tribulation, such as has not happened from the beginning of the creation that God created until now, and no, will not happen. ²⁰ And unless the Lord cut short the days, no flesh would have been saved, but because of the chosen, whom he chose, he cut short the days.

⁵ But according to thy hardness, and thy impenitent heart, thou store up wrath to thyself in the day of wrath, and revelation, and righteous judgment of God,

⁹ the Lord knows how to rescue the pious out of temptation, and to hold in reserve unrighteous men being cut off for a day of judgment.

⁷ But now the heavens and the earth, which have been stored up by the same word, are being preserved for fire in a day of judgment and destruction of irreverent men.

⁵⁶ The tender and delicate woman among you, who would not adventure to set the sole of her foot upon the ground for delicateness and tenderness, her eye shall be evil toward the husband of her bosom, and toward her son, and toward her daughter, ⁵⁷ and toward her young one who comes out from between her feet, and toward her sons whom she shall bear, for she shall eat them secretly for want of all things, in the siege and in the distress with which thine enemy shall distress thee in thy gates.

¹⁰ The hands of the pitiful women have boiled their own children. They were their food in the destruction of the daughter of my people.

⁴¹ They say to him, Evil men, he will miserably destroy them, and will lease out the vineyard to other farmers, who will render him the fruits in their seasons.

⁴⁴ And he who falls on this stone will be shattered, but on whomever it may fall, it will grind him to dust.

¹⁹ And woe to those who have in the womb and to those who suckle in those days.

¹⁷ But woe to those who have in the womb, and to those who suckle in those days.

²⁷ Nevertheless those enemies of mine who did not want me to reign over them, bring here, and kill them before me.

²⁹ Because, behold, the days are coming, during which they will say, Blessed are the barren, and the bellies that gave no birth, and the breasts that did not suckle.

¹⁶ Forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles so that they might be saved, in order to fill up their sins always. But wrath came upon them finally.

¹² and not through the blood of goats and calves, but through his own blood, he entered in once into the Holy things, having found eternal redemption. ¹³ For if the blood of bulls and goats, and the ashes of a heifer, sprinkling those who were defiled, sanctifies for the purification of the flesh, ¹⁴ how much more the blood of Christ, who, through the eternal Spirit, offered himself unblemished to God, will cleanse your conscience from dead works in order to serve a living God? ¹⁵ And because of this he is mediator of a new covenant, so that a death having occurred for the redemption of the transgressions against the first covenant, those who are called might take the promise of the eternal inheritance. ¹⁶ For where a covenant is, a necessity is to present the death of the man who made the covenant. ¹⁷ For a covenant is effective with the dead, since it is never enforced while the man who made the covenant lives.

²⁶ For when we sin willfully after taking the knowledge of the truth, there remains no more a sacrifice for sins, ²⁷ but a certain fearful expectation of judgment and of fire, a fervor that is going to devour the opposition. ²⁸ Any man who has disregarded the law of Moses dies without mercies from two or three witnesses. 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.

¹⁶ But do not forget benevolence and fellowship, for God is well pleased with such sacrifices.

¹ Go now, ye rich, weep, howling for your miseries that are approaching.

¹⁷ Because the time to begin judgment is from the house of God, and if first from us, what is the end of those who disobey the good news of God?

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.

¹⁸ Thy holy people possessed it but a little while. Our adversaries have trodden down thy sanctuary.

¹² For thus says LORD, Behold, I will extend peace to her like a river, and the glory of the nations like an overflowing stream. And ye shall nurse thereof. Ye shall be borne upon the side, and shall be dandled upon the knees.

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.

¹⁵ The Lord has trodden under foot all my mighty men in the midst of me. He has called a solemn assembly against me to crush my young men. The Lord has trodden the virgin daughter of Judah as in a winepress.

¹³ Then I heard a holy one speaking, and another holy one said to that certain one who spoke, How long shall be the vision of the continual burnt offering, and the transgression that make desolate, to give both the sanctuary and the host to be trodden under foot?

⁷ And I heard the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand to heaven, and swore by him who lives forever that it shall be for a time, times, and a half. And when they have made an end of breaking in pieces the power of the holy people, all these things shall be finished.

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.

²⁵ For I do not want you, brothers, to be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise according to yourselves, that a callousness in part has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles come in.

² And leave out the court outside the temple, and do not measure it, because it has been given to the nations. And they will trample the holy city forty-two months.

³ though the waters of it roar and are troubled, though the mountains tremble with the swelling of it. Selah.

³ The floods have lifted up, O LORD, the floods have lifted up their voice, the floods lift up their waves. ⁴ Above the voices of many waters, the mighty breakers of the sea, LORD on high is mighty.

³⁰ And they shall roar against them in that day like the roaring of the sea. And if a man looks to the land, behold, darkness and distress, and the light is darkened in the clouds of it.

¹⁰ For the stars of heaven and the constellations of it shall not give their light. The sun shall be darkened in its going forth, and the moon shall not cause its light to shine.

¹³ Therefore I will make the heavens to tremble, and the earth shall be shaken out of its place, in the wrath of LORD of hosts, and in the day of his fierce anger. ¹⁴ And it shall come to pass, that as the chased roe, and as sheep that no man gathers, they shall turn every man to his own people, and shall flee every man to his own land.

⁴ Therefore I said, Look away from me. I will weep bitterly. Labor not to comfort me for the destruction of the daughter of my people. ⁵ For it is a day of trouble, and of treading down, and of perplexity, from the Lord, LORD of hosts, in the valley of vision, a breaking down of the walls, and a crying to the mountains.

²³ Then the moon shall be confounded, and the sun ashamed, for LORD of hosts will reign in mount Zion and in Jerusalem. And glory shall be before his elders.

¹⁵ For I am LORD thy God, who stirs up the sea so that the waves of it roar. LORD of hosts is his name.

²³ I beheld the earth, and, lo, it was waste and void, and the heavens, and they had no light.

⁷ And when I shall extinguish thee, I will cover the heavens, and make the stars of it dark. I will cover the sun with a cloud, and the moon shall not give its light. ⁸ All the bright lights of heaven I will make dark over thee, and set darkness upon thy land, says the lord LORD.

¹ And at that time Michael shall stand up, the great prince who stands for the sons of thy people. And there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time. And at that time thy people shall be delivered, everyone who shall be found written in the book.

³⁰ And I will show wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke. ³¹ The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and wonderful day of LORD comes.

⁹ And it shall come to pass in that day, says the lord LORD, that I will cause the sun to go down at noon, and I will darken the earth in the clear day. ¹⁰ And I will turn your feasts into mourning, and all your songs into lamentation. And I will bring sackcloth upon all loins, and baldness upon every head, and I will make it as the mourning for an only son, and the end thereof as a bitter day.

⁴ The best of them is as a brier. The most upright is worse than a thorn hedge. The day of thy watchmen, even thy visitation, has come. Now shall be their perplexity.

²⁹ But straightaway after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light. And the stars will fall from the sky, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.

⁴⁵ Now from the sixth hour darkness developed over all the land until the ninth hour.

²⁴ But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light,

²⁶ And then they will see the Son of man coming in clouds with much power and glory.

³³ And having become the sixth hour, darkness occurred over the whole land until the ninth hour.

¹⁹ And I will give wonders in the heaven above, and signs on the earth beneath, blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke.

¹⁰ But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, during which the heavens will pass away with a roar, and the elements, being intensely hot, will be disintegrated, and the earth and the works in it will be destroyed by fire. ¹¹ Therefore, all these things being disintegrated, what kind ought ye to be in holy actions and pieties, ¹² anticipating and hastening the coming of the day of God, by which the heavens, being made fiery hot, will be disintegrated, and the elements dissolve, being intensely hot?

¹² And I looked when he opened the sixth seal, and a great earthquake occurred, and the sun became black as hairy sackcloth, and the whole moon became as blood. ¹³ And the stars of the sky fell to the earth as a fig tree that casts its unripe figs being shaken by a great wind. ¹⁴ And the sky departed as a scroll being rolled up. And every mountain and island were moved out of their places.

¹¹ And I saw a great white throne, and him who sits upon it, from whose face the earth and the sky fled away, and no place was found for them.

³⁶ And as for those who are left of you, I will send a faintness into their heart in the lands of their enemies. And the sound of a driven leaf shall chase them, and they shall flee as a man flees from the sword, and they shall fall when no man pursues.

³² Thy sons and thy daughters shall be given to another people. And thine eyes shall look, and fail with longing for them all the day, and there shall be nothing in the power of thy hand. ³³ The fruit of thy ground, and all thy labors, shall a nation eat up which thou know not. And thou shall only be oppressed and crushed always, ³⁴ so that thou shall be mad because of the sight of thine eyes which thou shall see.

⁶⁵ And among these nations thou shall find no ease, and there shall be no rest for the sole of thy foot, but LORD will give thee there a trembling heart, and failing of eyes, and pining of soul. ⁶⁶ And thy life shall hang in doubt before thee, and thou shall fear night and day, and shall have no assurance of thy life. ⁶⁷ In the morning thou shall say, Would it were evening! and at evening thou shall say, Would it were morning! for the fear of thy heart which thou shall fear, and for the sight of thine eyes which thou shall see.

²⁵ and the stars of the sky will be falling, and the powers that are in the heavens will be shaken.

²⁶ For when we sin willfully after taking the knowledge of the truth, there remains no more a sacrifice for sins, ²⁷ but a certain fearful expectation of judgment and of fire, a fervor that is going to devour the opposition.

¹³ I saw in the night visions, and, behold, there came with the clouds of heaven someone like a son of man. And he came even to the ancient of days, and they brought him near before him.

²⁷ For the Son of man is going to come in the glory of his Father with his agents, and then he will reward each man according to his actions. ²⁸ Truly I say to you, there are some of those who stand here, who will, no, not taste of death, until they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.

³⁰ And then the sign of the Son of man will appear in the sky. And then all the tribes of the earth will beat the breast, and they will see the Son of man coming in the clouds of the sky with power and much glory.

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.

⁶⁴ Jesus says to him, Thou have said. Nevertheless I say to you, Henceforth ye will see the Son of man sitting at the right hand of Power, and coming in the clouds of the sky.

⁹ And having said these things, as they were watching, he was taken up, and a cloud received him from their eyes. ¹⁰ And while they were gazing at his going into the sky, behold, two men had also stood by them in white apparel, ¹¹ who also said, Men, Galileans, why stand ye gazing into the sky? This Jesus who was taken up from you into the sky will so come, in that same way as ye saw him going into the sky.

⁷ Behold, he comes with the clouds and every eye will see him, even the men who pierced him. And all the tribes of the earth will wail against him. Yea, Truly.

¹⁴ And I looked, and behold, a white cloud. And sitting upon the cloud, like a son of man, having a golden crown on his head and a sharp sickle in his hand.

⁵ Sing praises to LORD with the harp. With the harp and the voice of melody, ⁶ with trumpets and sound of cornet, make a joyful noise before the King-LORD. ⁷ Let the sea roar, and the fullness thereof, the world, and those who dwell in it. ⁸ Let the floods clap their hands. Let the hills sing for joy together ⁹ before LORD, for he comes to judge the earth. He will judge the world with righteousness, and the peoples with equity.

¹ And in that day thou shall say, I will give thanks to thee, O LORD, for though thou were angry with me. Thine anger is turned away and thou comfort me. ² Behold, God is my salvation. I will trust, and will not be afraid, for LORD, even LORD, is my strength and song, and he has become my salvation. ³ Therefore with joy ye shall draw water out of the wells of salvation.

⁸ He will swallow up death in victory, and the lord LORD will wipe away tears from off all faces. And he will take away the reproach of his people from off all the earth. For LORD has spoken it. ⁹ And it shall be said in that day, Lo, this is our God. We have waited for him, and he will save us. This is LORD. We have waited for him. We will be glad and rejoice in his salvation.

¹ Arise, shine, for thy light has come, and the glory of LORD has risen upon thee. ² For, behold, darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the peoples. But LORD will arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee.

⁷ And God, will he, no, not do the vengeance of his chosen who cry out to him day and night, and yet being patient toward them?

¹⁹ For the eager expectation of the creation is waiting for the manifestation of the sons of God.

²³ And not only so, but also ourselves who have the first fruit of the Spirit. And we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for adoption, the redemption of our body.

¹⁴ which is a pledge of our inheritance, for the redemption of the acquired possession, for appreciation of his glory.

³⁰ And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, in which ye are sealed for a day of redemption.

³² Now learn a parable from the fig tree. When its branch now becomes tender, and sprouts leaves, ye know that the summer is near. ³³ So ye also, when ye see all these things, know that it is near, at the doors. ³⁴ Truly I say to you, this generation will, no, not pass away, until all these things happen. ³⁵ The sky and the earth will pass away, but my words may, no, not pass away.

²⁸ But learn a parable from the fig tree. When its branch now becomes tender, and sprouts the leaves, ye know that summer is near. ²⁹ So ye also, when ye may see these things happening, know ye that it is near, at the doors. ³⁰ Truly I say to you, that this generation will, no, not pass away, until all these things happen.

⁵⁷ And also why do ye not judge yourselves what is right?

¹ And the Pharisees and Sadducees who came, testing, demanded him to exhibit to them a sign from the sky. ² But having answered, he said to them, When it becomes evening, ye say, Fair weather, for the sky is red. ³ And at morning, Bad weather today, for the sky is red, being gloomy. Hypocrites! Ye indeed know how to discern the face of the sky, but the signs of the times ye are not able. ⁴ An evil and adulterous generation seeks after a sign, and no sign will be given to it, except the sign of Jonah the prophet. And having left them behind, he departed.

⁵¹ Do ye suppose that I came to give peace on the earth? I tell you, no, but rather division. ⁵² For henceforth there will be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three. ⁵³ A father will be divided against a son, and a son against a father, a mother against a daughter, and a daughter against a mother, a mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. ⁵⁴ And he also said to the multitudes, When ye see a cloud rising from the west, straightaway ye say, A shower is coming, and so it happens. ⁵⁵ And when a south wind is blowing, ye say, There will be heat, and it happens. ⁵⁶ Ye hypocrites, ye know how to examine the face of the earth and the sky, but how can ye not examine this season? ⁵⁷ And also why do ye not judge yourselves what is right?

³⁷ For yet a very little while, he who is coming will come, and will not delay.

⁹ Do not grumble, brothers, against each other, so that ye not be judged. Behold, the judge stands before the doors.

⁷ But the end of all things has approached. Therefore be serious, and be sober for the prayers.

²⁸ Truly I say to you, there are some of those who stand here, who will, no, not taste of death, until they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.

³⁶ Truly I say to you, that all these things will come upon this generation.

³⁴ Truly I say to you, this generation will, no, not pass away, until all these things happen.

³⁰ Truly I say to you, that this generation will, no, not pass away, until all these things happen.

²⁶ They shall perish, but thou shall endure. Yea, all of them shall grow old like a garment. As a vesture thou shall change them, and they shall be changed,

⁸ The grass withers, the flower fades, but the word of our God shall stand forever.

⁶ Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look upon the earth beneath. For the heavens shall vanish away like smoke, and the earth shall grow old like a garment, and those who dwell in it shall die in like manner. But my salvation shall be forever, and my righteousness shall not be abolished.

¹⁸ For truly I say to you, until the heaven and the earth pass away, one iota or one tittle will, no, not pass away from the law, until all things come to pass.

³⁵ The sky and the earth will pass away, but my words may, no, not pass away.

³¹ The sky and the earth will pass away, but my words may, no, not pass away.

²⁵ but the word of the Lord endures into the age. And this is the word, the good news that was preached to you.

⁷ But now the heavens and the earth, which have been stored up by the same word, are being preserved for fire in a day of judgment and destruction of irreverent men. ⁸ But beloved, let not this one thing be ignored by you, that one day with the Lord is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. 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. ¹⁰ But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, during which the heavens will pass away with a roar, and the elements, being intensely hot, will be disintegrated, and the earth and the works in it will be destroyed by fire. ¹¹ Therefore, all these things being disintegrated, what kind ought ye to be in holy actions and pieties, ¹² anticipating and hastening the coming of the day of God, by which the heavens, being made fiery hot, will be disintegrated, and the elements dissolve, being intensely hot? ¹³ But we anticipate a new heavens and a new earth according to his promise, in which righteousness dwells. ¹⁴ Therefore, beloved, anticipating these things, be diligent to be found by him in peace, without spot and blameless.

⁹ Drink no wine nor strong drink, thou, nor thy sons with thee, when ye go into the tent of meeting, that ye not die-it shall be a statute forever throughout your generations-

¹⁹ and it comes to pass, when he hears the words of this curse, that he blesses himself in his heart, saying, I shall have peace, though I walk in the stubbornness of my heart, to destroy the moist with the dry.

³⁶ And Abigail came to Nabal, and, behold, he held a feast in his house like the feast of a king. And Nabal's heart was merry within him, for he was very drunk. Therefore she told him nothing, less or more, until the morning light.

⁸ Let destruction come upon him unawares, and let his net that he has hid catch himself. Let him fall in it with destruction.

⁴ A high look, and a proud heart, even the lamp of the wicked, is sin.

¹ Woe to the crown of pride of the drunkards of Ephraim, and to the fading flower of his glorious beauty, which is on the head of the fat valley of those who are overcome with wine! ² Behold, the Lord has a mighty and strong one. As a tempest of hail, a destroying storm, as a tempest of mighty waters overflowing, he will cast down to the earth with the hand. ³ The crown of pride of the drunkards of Ephraim shall be trodden under foot.

⁷ And even these reel with wine, and stagger with strong drink. The priest and the prophet reel with strong drink. They are swallowed up of wine. They stagger with strong drink; they err in vision; they stumble in judgment.

¹⁰ His watchmen are blind. They are all without knowledge. They are all mute dogs. They cannot bark, dreaming, lying down, loving to slumber. ¹¹ Yea, the dogs are greedy; they can never have enough. And these are shepherds who cannot understand. They have all turned to their own way, each one to his gain, from every quarter. ¹² Come ye, they say, I will fetch wine, and we will fill ourselves with strong drink. And tomorrow shall be as this day, great beyond measure.

¹¹ Whoredom and wine and new wine take away the understanding.

²² And that which was sown in the thorns, this is he who hears the word, and the care of this age, and the deceitfulness of wealth, choke the word, and he becomes unfruitful.

³⁹ And they knew not until the flood came, and took them all away. So also will be the coming of the Son of man. ⁴⁰ Then two men will be in the field, one is taken, and one is left. ⁴¹ Two women grinding at the mill, one is taken, and one is left. ⁴² Watch therefore, because ye know not at what hour your Lord comes. ⁴³ But know this, that if the house-ruler had known in what watch the thief was coming, he would have watched, and would not have allowed his house to be broken into. ⁴⁴ Because of this ye also be ready, because in that hour ye think not the Son of man comes. ⁴⁵ Who then is the faithful and wise bondman, whom his lord appointed over his service, to give them the provision on time? ⁴⁶ Blessed is that bondman, whom his lord when he comes will find so doing. ⁴⁷ Truly I say to you, that he will appoint him over all things being possessed by him. ⁴⁸ But if that evil bondman should say in his heart, My lord is late coming, ⁴⁹ and should begin to beat the fellow bondmen, and to eat and drink with the drunken, ⁵⁰ the lord of that bondman will come in a day that he does not expect, and in an hour that he is not aware,

¹⁹ and the cares of this age, and the deceitfulness of wealth, and the cravings about other things entering in, choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful.

⁹ But watch ye yourselves, for they will deliver you up to councils, and ye will be beaten in synagogues. And ye will be stood before rulers and kings because of me, for a testimony to them.

¹⁴ And that which fell in the thorns, these are those who heard, and as they go they are choked by cares and wealth and pleasures of life, and do not bring to maturity.

⁴¹ But having answered, Jesus said to her, Martha, Martha, thou are anxious and troubled about many things,

⁴⁰ Therefore, ye also become ready, because the Son of man comes at that hour ye do not suppose.

⁴⁵ But if that bondman should say in his heart, My lord is late to come, and should begin to beat the servant boys and the servant girls, and to eat and drink, and to be drunken, ⁴⁶ the lord of that bondman will arrive in a day that he does not expect, and in an hour that he is not aware, and will cut him in two, and will place his portion with the unbelieving.

³ Take heed to yourselves. And if thy brother should sin against thee, rebuke him, and if he repents, forgive him.

¹¹ And this, knowing the time, that the hour is now for us to awake out of sleep. For our salvation is now nearer than when we believed. 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.

¹¹ But now I write to you not to associate if any man who is called a brother is a fornicator, or a greedy man, or an idolater, or a slanderer, or a drunkard, or a predator, not even to eat with such kind.

¹⁰ nor greedy men, nor thieves, nor drunkards, nor the slanderous, nor the predatory will inherit the kingdom of God.

²⁰ idolatry, sorcery, hatreds, strifes, jealousies, wraths, selfish ambitions, dissensions, factions,

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

² For ye yourselves know accurately that the day of the Lord so comes as a thief in the night. ³ For when they say, Peace and safety, then sudden destruction approaches them, as the woman having birth pangs in her womb, and they will, no, not escape. ⁴ But ye, brothers, are not in darkness, so that the day would seize you as a thief. 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.

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

³ For enough time of life has past for you to accomplish the will of the Gentiles, having gone in debaucheries, lusts, excesses of wine, revelings, drinking parties, and lawless idolatries. ⁴ During which they think it strange of you not running together into the same pouring out of debauchery, while they slander. ⁵ Men who will give back an accounting to him who fares readily to judge the living and the dead. ⁶ For good news was preached even to the dead for this, so that they might indeed be judged according to men in flesh, but live according to God in spirit. ⁷ But the end of all things has approached. Therefore be serious, and be sober for the prayers.

¹⁰ But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, during which the heavens will pass away with a roar, and the elements, being intensely hot, will be disintegrated, and the earth and the works in it will be destroyed by fire.

¹⁴ Therefore, beloved, anticipating these things, be diligent to be found by him in peace, without spot and blameless.

³ Remember therefore how thou have received and heard, and be on guard, and repent. If therefore thou will not watch, I will come upon thee as a thief, and thou will, no, not know what hour I will come upon thee.

⁴ For yet seven days, and I will cause it to rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights, and every living thing that I have made I will destroy from off the face of the ground.

⁶ He will rain snares upon sinners. Fire and brimstone and burning wind shall be the portion of their cup.

¹² For man also does not know his time. As the fishes that are taken in an evil net, and as the birds that are caught in the snare, even so are the sons of men snared in an evil time when it falls suddenly upon them.

¹⁷ Fear, and the pit, and the snare, are upon thee, O inhabitant of the earth. ¹⁸ And it shall come to pass, that he who flees from the noise of the fear shall fall into the pit, and he who comes up out of the midst of the pit shall be taken in the snare. For the windows on high are opened, and the foundations of the earth tremble.

⁴³ Fear and the pit and the snare are upon thee, O inhabitant of Moab, says LORD. ⁴⁴ He who flees from the fear shall fall into the pit, and he who gets up out of the pit shall be taken in the snare. For I will bring upon him, even upon Moab, the year of their visitation, says LORD.

³⁷ And having answered, they say to him, Where, Lord? And he said to them, Where the body is, there the vultures will be gathered together.

²⁶ And he made from one blood every nation of men to dwell upon all the face of the earth, having determined prescribed times, and the limits of their occupancy,

¹⁵ (Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he who watches, and keeps his garments, so that he may not walk naked, and they see his shame.)

¹⁰ Will he delight himself in the Almighty, and call upon God at all times?

⁵ Therefore the wicked shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.

² But who can abide the day of his coming? And who shall stand when he appears? For he is like a refiner's fire, and like fuller's soap.

⁴² Watch therefore, because ye know not at what hour your Lord comes.

¹³ Watch therefore, because ye know not the day nor the hour in which the Son of man comes.

⁴¹ Watch and pray that ye enter not into temptation. Truly, the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.

³³ Watch ye! Be alert and pray, for ye know not when the time is,

³⁷ And what I say to you I say to all, watch!

³⁷ Blessed are those bondmen whom the lord when he comes will find watching. Truly I say to you, that he will gird himself, and will cause them to sit down, and having come, will serve them. ³⁸ And if he should come in the second watch, and should come in the third watch, and find so, blessed are those bondmen. ³⁹ But know this, that if the house-ruler had known in what hour the thief was coming, he would have watched, and would not have allowed his house to be broken into. ⁴⁰ Therefore, ye also become ready, because the Son of man comes at that hour ye do not suppose.

¹ And he also spoke a parable to them about it being necessary to always pray, and not to give up,

³⁵ but those who are considered worthy to attain to that age, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage.

² a devout man, and fearing God with all his house, and doing many charities for the people, and beseeching God always.

¹³ Watch ye, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong.

¹³ Because of this take ye up the full armor of God, so that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. ¹⁴ Stand ye therefore having girded your loins with truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness,

¹⁸ praying through every prayer and entreaty at every time in spirit, and being alert in this same thing in all perseverance and entreaty for all the sanctified, ¹⁹ and for me, so that utterance may be given to me in boldness in opening my mouth to make known the mystery of the good news,

² Continue in prayer, being vigilant in it with thankfulness.

¹⁷ Pray without ceasing.

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. ⁶ Since it is a righteous thing according to God to repay restriction to those who restrict you,

⁵ But be thou sober in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, bring thy ministry to fullness.

⁸ Be sober, be vigilant. Your opponent the devil, as a roaring lion, walks about seeking whom to devour.

²⁸ And now, little children, abide in him, so that when he is made known, we may have confidence, and not be shamed by him at his coming.

²⁴ Now to him who is able to keep them non-stumbling, and to present before his glory, unblemished in gladness,

⁴ And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east. And the mount of Olives shall be split in the midst of it toward the east and toward the west, a very great valley. And half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south.

¹ And when they came near to Jerusalem, and came to Bethsphage, to the mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples,

¹⁷ And having left them behind, he went out of the city to Bethany, and lodged there.

³⁰ And having sung a hymn, they went out to the mount of Olives.

⁵⁵ In that hour Jesus said to the multitudes, Did ye come out as against a robber with swords and clubs to seize me? I sat daily with you teaching in the temple, and ye did not seize me.

¹² And on the morrow when they came out from Bethany he was hungry.

¹⁹ And when it became evening he went forth outside of the city.

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,

³⁹ And having come out, he proceeded according to his habit to the mount of Olives, and his disciples also followed him.

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

¹² Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mountain called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem having a sabbath day journey.

¹ But Jesus went to the mount of Olives. ² And at early morning he came again into the temple, and all the people came to him. And having sat down, he taught them.
