Remember how he spoke to you when he was still in Galilee, ⁷ saying that the Son of man must be delivered up into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day to rise. ⁸ And they remembered his sayings. ⁹ And having returned from the sepulcher, they reported all these things to the eleven, and to all the others. ¹⁰ Now they were Mary Magdalene, and Joanna, and Mary the mother of James, and the other women with them who told these things to the apostles. ¹¹ And their sayings appeared before them as idle talk, and they disbelieved them.

¹⁸ Mary Magdalene comes informing the disciples that she has seen the Lord, and he spoke these things to her.

¹² But having risen, Peter ran to the sepulcher. And having stooped down, he sees the linen cloths laying alone. And he departed, wondering to himself at that which happened.

¹ Now on the first day of the week Mary Magdalene comes early, while it was still darkness, to the sepulcher, and sees the stone taken away from the sepulcher. ² Therefore she runs and comes to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple whom Jesus loved, and says to them, They have taken away the Lord out of the sepulcher, and we know not where they have laid him.

¹⁸ And he says to them, Are also ye so without understanding? Do ye not perceive that everything outside that enters into the man cannot defile him,

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

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

¹⁴ Afterward he became visible to them, to the eleven, who were relaxing. And he upbraided their unbelief and hard heart, because they did not believe those who saw him after he was raised.

¹¹ About whom, much subject matter from us is also difficult to explain, since ye have become sluggish in hearing. ¹² For also men who ought to be teachers because of the time, ye have need again for some man to teach you the rudiments of the beginning of the oracles of God, and have become men who have need of milk, and not of solid food.

¹ My God, my God, why have thou forsaken me, far from helping me, and the words of my groaning? ² O my God, I cry in the daytime, but thou answer not, and in the night season, and I am not silent. ³ But thou are holy, O thou who inhabit the praises of Israel. ⁴ Our fathers trusted in thee. They trusted, and thou delivered them. ⁵ They cried to thee, and were delivered. They trusted in thee, and were not put to shame. ⁶ But I am a worm, and no man, a reproach of men, and despised by the people. ⁷ All those who see me laugh me to scorn. They shoot out the lip. They shake the head, saying, ⁸ He trusted on LORD. Let him deliver him. Let him rescue him, since he delights in him. ⁹ But thou are he who took me out of the womb. Thou made me trust upon my mother's breasts. ¹⁰ I was cast upon thee from the womb. Thou are my God since my mother bore me. ¹¹ Be not far from me, for trouble is near, for there is none to help. ¹² Many bulls have encompassed me. Strong bulls of Bashan have beset me around. ¹³ They gape upon me with their mouth, as a ravening and a roaring lion. ¹⁴ I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint. My heart is like wax; it is melted within me. ¹⁵ My strength is dried up like a potsherd, and my tongue clings to my jaws, and thou have brought me into the dust of death. ¹⁶ For dogs have encompassed me. A company of evildoers have enclosed me. They pierced my hands and my feet. ¹⁷ I may count all my bones. They look and stare upon me. ¹⁸ They part my garments among them, and upon my vesture do they cast a lot. ¹⁹ But be thou not far off, O LORD. O thou my succor, hasten thee to help me. ²⁰ Deliver my soul from the sword, the only one of me from the power of the dog. ²¹ Save me from the lion's mouth, yea, from the horns of the wild-oxen. Thou have answered me. ²² I will declare thy name to my brothers. In the midst of the congregation I will praise thee. ²³ Ye who fear LORD, praise him. All ye the seed of Jacob, glorify him, and stand in awe of him, all ye the seed of Israel. ²⁴ For he has not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted, neither has he hid his face from him, but when he cried to him, he heard. ²⁵ From thee comes my praise in the great assembly. I will pay my vows before those who fear him. ²⁶ The meek shall eat and be satisfied. They shall praise LORD who seek after him. Let your heart live forever. ²⁷ All the ends of the earth shall remember and turn to LORD, and all the kinfolk of the nations shall worship before thee. ²⁸ For the kingdom is LORD's, and he is the ruler over the nations. ²⁹ All the fat ones of the earth shall eat and worship. All those who go down to the dust shall bow before him, even he who cannot keep his soul alive. ³⁰ A seed shall serve him. It shall be told of the Lord to the next generation. ³¹ They shall come and shall declare his righteousness to a people that shall be born, that he has done it.

¹ Save me, O God, for the waters have come in to my soul. ² I sink in deep mire where there is no standing. I have come into deep waters, where the floods overflow me. ³ I am weary with my crying. My throat is dried. My eyes fail while I wait for my God. ⁴ Those who hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of my head. Those who would cut me off, being my enemies wrongfully, are mighty. That which I took not away I have to restore. ⁵ O God, thou know my foolishness, and my sins are not hid from thee. ⁶ Let not those who wait for thee be put to shame through me, O lord LORD of hosts. Let not those who seek thee be brought to dishonor through me, O God of Israel. ⁷ Because for thy sake I have borne reproach, shame has covered my face. ⁸ I have become a stranger to my brothers, and an alien to my mother's sons. ⁹ For the zeal of thy house has eaten me up, and the reproaches of those who reproach thee have fallen upon me. ¹⁰ When I wept in my soul with fasting, that was to my reproach. ¹¹ When I made sackcloth my clothing, I became a byword to them. ¹² Those who sit in the gate talk of me, and I am the song of the drunkards. ¹³ But as for me, my prayer is to thee, O LORD. In an acceptable time, O God, in the abundance of thy loving kindness, answer me in the truth of thy salvation. ¹⁴ Deliver me out of the mire, and let me not sink. Let me be delivered from those who hate me, and out of the deep waters. ¹⁵ Let not the water flood overwhelm me, nor let the deep swallow me up. And let not the pit shut its mouth upon me. ¹⁶ Answer me, O LORD, for thy loving kindness is good. According to the multitude of thy tender mercies turn thou to me, ¹⁷ and hide not thy face from thy servant, for I am in distress. Answer me speedily. ¹⁸ Draw near to my soul, and redeem it. Ransom me because of my enemies. ¹⁹ Thou know my reproach, and my shame, and my dishonor. My adversaries are all before thee. ²⁰ Reproach has broken my heart, and I am full of heaviness. And I looked for some to take pity, but there was none, and for comforters, but I found none. ²¹ They also gave me gall for my food, and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink. 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. ²⁹ But I am poor and sorrowful. Let thy salvation, O God, set me up on high. ³⁰ I will praise the name of God with a song, and will magnify him with thanksgiving, ³¹ and it will please LORD better than an ox, or a bullock that has horns and hoofs. ³² The meek have seen it, and are glad. Ye who seek after God, let your heart live. ³³ For LORD hears the needy, and does not despise his prisoners. ³⁴ Let heaven and earth praise him, the seas, and everything that moves therein. ³⁵ For God will save Zion, and build the cities of Judah. And they shall abide there, and have it in possession. ³⁶ The seed also of his servants shall inherit it, and those who love his name shall dwell therein.

¹ Who has believed our report? And to whom has the arm of LORD been revealed? ² For he grew up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground. He has no form nor comeliness. And when we see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him. ³ He was despised, and rejected by men, a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief. And as him from whom men hide their face he was despised, and we esteemed him not. ⁴ Surely he has borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows. Yet we esteemed him stricken, smitten by God, and afflicted. ⁵ But he was wounded for our transgressions. He was bruised for our iniquities. The chastisement of our peace was upon him, and with his stripes we are healed. ⁶ All we like sheep have gone astray. We have turned every one to his own way, and LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all. ⁷ He was oppressed, yet when he was afflicted he opened not his mouth. As a lamb that is led to the slaughter, and as a sheep that is mute before its shearers, so he opened not his mouth. ⁸ In his humiliation his justice was taken away. And as for his generation, who considered that he was cut off out of the land of the living for the transgression of my people, to whom the stroke was due? ⁹ And they made his grave with the wicked, and with a rich man in his death. Although he had done no violence, nor was any deceit in his mouth. ¹⁰ Yet it pleased LORD to bruise him. He has put him to grief. When thou shall make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed. He shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of LORD shall prosper in his hand. ¹¹ He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied. By the knowledge of himself shall my righteous servant justify many, and he shall bear their iniquities. ¹² Therefore I will divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong, because he poured out his soul to death, and was numbered with the transgressors. Yet he bore the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.

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

⁷ saying that the Son of man must be delivered up into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day to rise.

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

⁴⁶ And he said to them, Thus it is written, and thus it was necessary for the Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day,

³ explaining and pointing out that it was necessary for the Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead, and, This Jesus, whom I proclaim to you, is the Christ.

³ For I delivered to you at first what I also received, that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures, ⁴ and that he was buried, and that he arose on the third day according to the scriptures,

⁸ Thou subordinated all things under his feet. For in subordinating all things to him, he left nothing not subordinate to him. But now we do not yet see all things subordinated to him. ⁹ But we see Jesus who has been made a little something less than the agents, who, because of the suffering of death, has been crowned with glory and honor, so that by the grace of God he would taste of death for every man. ¹⁰ For it was fitting for him, through whom are all things, and because of whom are all things, having brought many sons to glory, to make the pathfinder of their salvation fully perfect through sufferings.

²² And almost all things, according to the law, are cleansed with blood, and remission does not occur without bloodshed. ²³ Indeed therefore, a necessity was for the models of the things in the heavens themselves to be cleansed with these, but the heavenly things with better sacrifices than these.

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

³ Blessed is the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who begot us again according to his abundant mercy for a living hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,

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

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

³ And I will bless those who bless thee, and he who curses thee I will curse. And in thee shall all the families of the earth be blessed.

¹⁸ and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed, because thou have obeyed my voice.

⁴ And I will multiply thy seed as the stars of heaven, and will give to thy seed all these lands, and in thy seed all the nations of the earth shall be blessed,

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

⁶ And LORD sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people, and many people of Israel died. ⁷ And the people came to Moses, and said, We have sinned, because we have spoken against LORD, and against thee. Pray to LORD, that he take away the serpents from us. And Moses prayed for the people. ⁸ And LORD said to Moses, Make thee a fiery serpent, and set it upon a standard. And it shall come to pass, that everyone who is bitten, when he sees it, shall live. ⁹ And Moses made a serpent of brass, and set it upon the standard. And it came to pass, that if a serpent had bitten any man, when he looked to the serpent of brass, he lived.

¹⁵ LORD thy God will raise up for thee a prophet from the midst of thee, of thy brothers, like me. Ye shall hearken to him,

¹² When thy days are fulfilled, and thou shall sleep with thy fathers, I will set up thy seed after thee, who shall proceed out of thy bowels, and I will establish his kingdom. ¹³ He shall build a house for my name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever. ¹⁴ I will be his father, and he shall be my son. If he commits iniquity, I will chasten him with the rod of men, and with the stripes of the sons of men, ¹⁵ but my loving kindness shall not depart from him, as I took it from Saul whom I put away before thee. ¹⁶ And thy house and thy kingdom shall be made sure forever before thee; thy throne shall be established forever.

⁹ Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoices. My flesh also shall dwell in hope. ¹⁰ For thou will not leave my soul to Sheol, nor will thou allow thy holy man to see corruption.

¹¹ LORD has sworn to David in truth. He will not turn from it: From the fruit of thy body I will set upon thy throne.

¹⁴ Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.

⁶ For to us a child is born, to us a son is given. And the government shall be upon his shoulder. And his name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Father of Eternity, Prince of Peace. ⁷ Of the increase of his government and of peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to establish it, and to uphold it with justice and with righteousness from henceforth even forever. The zeal of LORD of hosts will perform this.

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

⁶ I gave my back to the smiters, and my cheeks to those who plucked off the hair. I did not hide my face from shame and spitting.

¹³ Behold, my servant shall deal wisely. He shall be exalted and lifted up, and shall be very high. ¹⁴ Just as many were astonished at thee (his visage was so marred, more than any man, and his form more than the sons of men),

⁵ Behold, the days come, says LORD, that I will raise to David a righteous Branch, and he shall reign as king and deal wisely, and shall execute justice and righteousness in the land. ⁶ In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely. And this is his name by which he shall be called: LORD our righteousness.

¹⁴ Behold, the days come, says LORD, that I will perform that good word which I have spoken concerning the house of Israel and concerning the house of Judah. ¹⁵ In those days, and at that time, I will cause a Branch of righteousness to grow up to David, and he shall execute justice and righteousness in the land.

²³ And I will set up one shepherd over them, and he shall feed them, even my servant David. He shall feed them, and he shall be their shepherd.

²⁵ And they shall dwell in the land that I have given to Jacob my servant, in which your fathers dwelt. And they shall dwell therein, they, and their sons, and their son's sons, forever. And David my servant shall be their ruler forever.

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.

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

² But thou, Bethlehem Ephrathah, which are little to be among the thousands of Judah, out of thee he shall come forth to me who is to be ruler in Israel, whose goings forth are from of old, from everlasting. ³ Therefore he will give them up until the time that she who travails has brought forth. Then the residue of his brothers shall return to the sons of Israel. ⁴ And he shall stand, and shall feed his flock in the strength of LORD, in the majesty of the name of LORD his God, and they shall abide. For now he shall be great to the ends of the earth.

²⁰ Thou will perform the truth to Jacob, and the loving kindness to Abraham, which thou have sworn to our fathers from the days of old.

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

¹ Behold, I send my agent, and he shall prepare the way before me. And the Lord, whom ye seek, will suddenly come to his temple. And the messenger of the covenant, whom ye desire, behold, he comes, says LORD of hosts. 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. ³ And he will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver. And he will purify the sons of Levi, and refine them as gold and silver. And they shall offer to LORD offerings in righteousness.

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

⁴⁵ Philip finds Nathanael, and says to him, We have found him of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets wrote: Jesus the son of Joseph of Nazareth.

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

⁴⁵ Think not that I will accuse you to the Father. The man who accuses you is Moses, in whom ye have hoped. ⁴⁶ For if ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me, for that man wrote about me. ⁴⁷ But if ye believe not the writings of that man, how will ye believe my sayings?

²² For Moses indeed said to the fathers, The Lord our God will raise up a prophet for you, from your brothers, like me. Ye shall hear him in all things, as many as he might speak to you.

²⁴ And also all the prophets from Samuel and those in succession, as many as spoke, also proclaimed these days.

³⁷ This is the Moses who said to the sons of Israel, The Lord our God will raise up a prophet for you, from your brothers, like me.

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

²⁷ For those who dwell in Jerusalem, and their rulers, not having known this and the voices of the prophets being read at every sabbath, they fulfilled, having condemned him. ²⁸ And not having found one cause of death in him, they asked for Pilate to kill him. ²⁹ And when they completed all the things written about him, having taken him down from the tree, they laid him in a tomb. ³⁰ But God raised him from the dead,

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

² and he said, Behold now, my lords, turn aside, I pray you, into your servant's house, and tarry all night, and wash your feet, and ye shall rise up early, and go on your way. And they said, No, but we will abide in the street all night.

²⁶ And he said, Let me go, for the day breaks. And he said, I will not let thee go unless thou bless me.

⁷ And Joseph saw his brothers, and he knew them, but made himself foreign to them, and spoke roughly with them. And he said to them. From where come ye? And they said, From the land of Canaan to buy food.

⁴⁸ And he saw them toiling in rowing, for the wind was against them. And about the fourth watch of the night he comes to them, walking on the sea, and wanted to passed by them.

³ And he urged them greatly. And they turned in to him, and entered into his house. And he made a feast for them, and baked unleavened bread, and they ate.

⁸ And it fell on a day that Elisha passed to Shunem where there was a prominent woman. And she constrained him to eat bread. And so it was, that as often as he passed by he turned in there to eat bread.

²³ And the lord said to the bondman, Go out into the roads and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled.

¹⁴ And a certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple of the city of Thyatira, a woman who worshiped God, was listening, whose heart the Lord opened to heed the things being spoken by Paul.

¹⁹ And after commanding the multitudes to sit down on the grass, having taken the five loaves, and the two fishes, having looking up to heaven, he blessed. And having broken them in pieces, he gave the loaves to the disciples, and the disciples to the multitudes.

³⁶ And after taking the seven loaves and the fishes, having expressed thanks, he broke in pieces, and gave to the disciples, and the disciples to the multitudes.

²⁶ And as they were eating, Jesus, having taken bread, having expressed thanks, broke in pieces, and he gave to the disciples, and said, Take, eat, this is my body.

⁴¹ And after taking the five loaves and the two fishes, having looked up to heaven, he blessed, and broke the loaves in pieces, and he gave to the disciples so that they might set before them. And he distributed the two fishes to them all.

⁶ And he commanded the crowd to sit down on the ground. And after taking the seven loaves, having given thanks, he broke in pieces, and gave to his disciples so that they might place before them. And they place before the crowd.

²² And as they were eating, Jesus having taken bread, having blessed, he broke in pieces, and gave to them, and said, Take, eat, this is my body.

¹⁶ And after taking the five loaves and the two fishes, having looked up to heaven, he blessed them, and broke in pieces, and gave to the disciples to set before the multitude.

¹⁹ And after taking bread, having expressed thanks, he broke in pieces, and gave to them, saying, This is my body that is given for you. Do ye this in my memory.

³⁵ And they reported the things on the road, and how he was made known to them during the breaking of the bread.

¹¹ And Jesus took the loaves, and having expressed thanks, he distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to those who were sitting down, likewise also of the fishes as much as they wanted.

³⁵ And having said these things, and having taken bread, he expressed thanks to God in the presence of all. And having broke in pieces, he began to eat.

³⁰ But he, having passed through the midst of them, departed.

¹⁶ But their eyes were held, not to recognize him.

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

¹³ And those men say to her, Woman, why weep thou? She says to them, Because they have taken away my Lord, and I know not where they have laid him. ¹⁴ And having said these things, she turned backward, and sees Jesus standing. And she had not known that it is Jesus. ¹⁵ Jesus says to her, Woman, why weep thou? Whom seek thou? That woman, supposing that he is the gardener, says to him, Sir, if thou have taken him, tell me where thou have laid him, and I will take him away. ¹⁶ Jesus says to her, Mary. After turning around, that woman says to him, Rabboni, which says, Teacher.

³ My heart was hot within me. While I was musing the fire burned. Then I spoke with my tongue:

³⁴ Let thy meditation be sweet to him. I will rejoice in LORD.

⁹ Oil and perfume rejoice the heart, so too the sweetness of a man's friend by hearty counsel.

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

⁴ The lord LORD has given me the tongue of those who are taught, that I may know how to sustain with words him who is weary. He awakens morning by morning. He awakens my ear to hear as those who are taught.

¹⁶ Thy words were found, and I ate them. And thy words were to me a joy and the rejoicing of my heart. For I am called by thy name, O LORD, God of hosts.

⁹ And if I say, I will not make mention of him, nor speak any more in his name, then there is in my heart as it were a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I am weary with forbearing, and I cannot.

²⁹ Is not my word like fire? says LORD, and like a hammer that breaks the rock in pieces?

⁴⁵ Then he opened their mind to understand the scriptures.

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

² And according to Paul's custom, he went in to them, and for three sabbaths he discoursed with them from the scriptures, ³ explaining and pointing out that it was necessary for the Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead, and, This Jesus, whom I proclaim to you, is the Christ.

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

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

¹³ And those men having departed, they reported to the others. Neither did they believe those men.

¹⁹ Therefore being evening that day, the first day of the week, and the doors having been shut where the disciples were who assembled because of fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst, and says to them, Peace to you. ²⁰ And having said this, he showed them his hands and side. His disciples therefore rejoiced when they saw the Lord. ²¹ Jesus therefore said to them again, Peace to you. As the Father has sent me, I also send you. ²² And after saying this, he breathed on them, and says to them, Receive ye the Holy Spirit. ²³ If ye forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them. If ye retain of any, they are retained. ²⁴ But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came. ²⁵ The other disciples therefore said to him, We have seen the Lord. But he said to them, Unless I may see the mark of the nails in his hands, and put my finger into the mark of the nails, and put my hand into his side, I will, no, not believe. ²⁶ And after eight days his disciples were again inside, and Thomas with them. Jesus comes, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, Peace to you.

¹⁴ All these men were continuing with one accord in prayer and supplication, with women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brothers.

⁷ But go, tell his disciples and Peter, that he goes before you into Galilee. Ye will see him there, just as he said to you.

⁵⁴ And having seized him, they led him, and brought him into the high priest's house. But Peter followed from afar. ⁵⁵ And having kindled a fire in the midst of the court, and having sat down together, Peter sat in the midst of them. ⁵⁶ But a certain servant girl having seen him sitting near the light, and having looked intently upon him, she said, This man was also with him. ⁵⁷ But he denied him, saying, Woman, I do not know him. ⁵⁸ And after a little while, another man having see him, said, Thou also are from them. And Peter said, Man, I am not. ⁵⁹ And about one hour having passed, some other man insisted, saying, In truth this man was also with him, for he is also a Galilean. ⁶⁰ And Peter said, Man, I do not know what thou are saying. And immediately, while he still spoke, a cock sounded. ⁶¹ And having turned, the Lord looked on Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how he said to him, Before a cock sounds thou will deny me thrice. ⁶² And having gone outside, Peter wept bitterly.

⁵ and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve.

³⁰ And it came to pass during his dining with them, that, having taken the bread, he blessed, and having broken in pieces he gave to them. ³¹ And their eyes were opened, and they recognized him. And he became invisible from them.

⁴² And they were continuing steadfastly in the apostles doctrine, and in fellowship, and in the breaking of bread, and the prayers.

¹⁸ I have seen his ways, and will heal him. I will lead him also, and restore comforts to him and to his mourners.

¹³ And if indeed the house is worthy, let your peace come upon it, but if it is not worthy, let your peace return to you.

⁵ And into whatever house ye enter, first say, Peace to this house.

²⁷ Peace I leave with you. My peace I give to you, not as the world gives, do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, nor let it be cowardly.

³³ These things I have spoken to you, so that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye have tribulation. But cheer up, I have overcome the world.

¹⁹ Therefore being evening that day, the first day of the week, and the doors having been shut where the disciples were who assembled because of fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst, and says to them, Peace to you. ²⁰ And having said this, he showed them his hands and side. His disciples therefore rejoiced when they saw the Lord. ²¹ Jesus therefore said to them again, Peace to you. As the Father has sent me, I also send you. ²² And after saying this, he breathed on them, and says to them, Receive ye the Holy Spirit. ²³ If ye forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them. If ye retain of any, they are retained.

²⁶ And after eight days his disciples were again inside, and Thomas with them. Jesus comes, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, Peace to you.

¹⁶ Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace through everything in every way. The Lord is with all of you.

⁴ John, to the seven congregations in Asia: Grace to you and peace from God, who is and who was and who is coming, and from the seven Spirits that are before his throne,

¹³ And the king said to her, Be not afraid, for what do thou see? And the woman said to Saul, I see a god coming up out of the earth.

¹⁴ fear came upon me, and trembling, which made all my bones to shake. ¹⁵ Then a spirit passed before my face; the hair of my flesh stood up. ¹⁶ It stood still, but I could not discern the appearance of it. A form was before my eyes. There was silence, and I heard a voice, saying,

²⁶ And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a ghost, and they cried out from fear. ²⁷ But straightaway Jesus spoke to them, saying, Cheer up. It is I, fear not.

⁴⁹ But they, when they saw him walking on the sea, supposed it to be a ghost, and cried out. ⁵⁰ For they all saw him, and were troubled. And straightaway he spoke with them, and says to them, Cheer up. It is I, fear not.

³⁰ And he said, No, father Abraham, but if some man would go to them from the dead they will repent.

¹⁵ And they said to her, Thou are mad. But she insisted to have it so. But they said, It is his agent.

¹⁴ O Jerusalem, wash thy heart from wickedness, that thou may be saved. How long shall thine evil thoughts lodge within thee?

⁵ I saw a dream which made me afraid, and the thoughts upon my bed and the visions of my head troubled me.

¹⁹ Then Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, was stricken mute for a while, and his thoughts troubled him. The king answered and said, Belteshazzar, let not the dream, or the interpretation, trouble thee. Belteshazzar answered and said, My lord, may the dream be to those who hate thee, and the interpretation of it to thine adversaries.

⁸ And having known it, Jesus said to them, O ye of little faith, why do ye deliberate among yourselves because ye brought no loaves?

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

²² And they fell upon their faces, and said, O God, the God of the spirits of all flesh, shall one man sin, and will thou be angry with all the congregation?

⁷ and the dust returns to the earth as it was, and the spirit returns to God who gave it.

⁴⁶ And Jesus, having sounded out in a great voice, said, Father, into thy hands I entrust my spirit. And having said these things, he expired.

²⁰ And having said this, he showed them his hands and side. His disciples therefore rejoiced when they saw the Lord.

²⁵ The other disciples therefore said to him, We have seen the Lord. But he said to them, Unless I may see the mark of the nails in his hands, and put my finger into the mark of the nails, and put my hand into his side, I will, no, not believe.

²⁷ Then he says to Thomas, Bring thy finger here, and see my hands, and bring thy hand, and put into my side, and do not become faithless, but believing.

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

²³ And may the God of peace himself sanctify you thoroughly. And may your spirit and soul and body be preserved complete, blamelessly at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

⁹ Besides, we indeed have had chastisers-the fathers of our flesh-and we were turned around. Shall we not much more be subordinate to the Father of the spirits, and we will live?

¹ What was from the beginning, what we have heard, what we have seen with our eyes, what we looked upon, and our hands touched, concerning the Word of life

²⁶ And they told him, saying, Joseph is yet alive, and he is ruler over all the land of Egypt. And his heart fainted, for he did not believe them. ²⁷ And they told him all the words of Joseph, which he had said to them. And when he saw the wagons which Joseph had sent to carry him, the spirit of Jacob their father revived. ²⁸ And Israel said, It is enough, Joseph my son is yet alive. I will go and see him before I die.

¹ When LORD brought back those who returned to Zion, we were like those who dream. ² Then our mouth was filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing. Then they said among the nations, LORD has done great things for them.

²² And now therefore indeed ye have sorrow, but I will see you again, and your heart will rejoice, and no man takes your joy away from you.

⁵ Therefore Jesus says to them, Children, have ye anything eatable? They answered him, No.

¹⁰ Jesus says to them, Bring from the fishes that ye now caught. ¹¹ Simon Peter went up, and drew the net to land, full of great fishes, a hundred and fifty-three. And being so many, the net was not broken. ¹² Jesus says to them, Come, eat breakfast. And none of the disciples dared to query him, Who are thou? knowing that it is the Lord. ¹³ Jesus therefore comes, and takes the bread, and gives to them, and the fish likewise.

⁴¹ not to all the people, but to witnesses who were previously chosen by God, to us, who ate and drank with him after he arose from the dead.

¹⁸ And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine. And he was priest of God Most High.

² and LORD said to Moses, Speak to Aaron thy brother, that he not come at all times into the holy place within the veil, before the mercy-seat which is upon the ark, that he not die, for I will appear in the cloud upon the mercy-seat. ³ Aaron shall come into the holy place this way: with a young bullock for a sin offering, and a ram for a burnt offering. ⁴ He shall put on the holy linen tunic, and he shall have the linen breeches upon his flesh, and shall be girded with the linen sash, and he shall be attired with the linen miter. They are the holy garments, and he shall bathe his flesh in water, and put them on. ⁵ And he shall take from the congregation of the sons of Israel two he-goats for a sin offering, and one ram for a burnt offering. ⁶ And Aaron shall present the bullock of the sin offering, which is for himself, and make atonement for himself, and for his house. ⁷ And he shall take the two goats, and set them before LORD at the door of the tent of meeting. ⁸ And Aaron shall cast lots upon the two goats, one lot for LORD, and the other lot for the scapegoat. ⁹ And Aaron shall present the goat upon which the lot fell for LORD, and offer him for a sin offering. ¹⁰ But the goat, on which the lot fell for the scapegoat, shall be set alive before LORD, to make atonement for him, to send him away for the scapegoat into the wilderness. ¹¹ And Aaron shall present the bullock of the sin offering, which is for himself, and shall make atonement for himself, and for his house, and shall kill the bullock of the sin offering which is for himself. ¹² And he shall take a censer full of coals of fire from off the altar before LORD, and his hands full of sweet incense beaten small, and bring it within the veil. ¹³ And he shall put the incense upon the fire before LORD, that the cloud of the incense may cover the mercy-seat that is upon the testimony, that he not die. ¹⁴ And he shall take of the blood of the bullock, and sprinkle it with his finger upon the mercy-seat on the east. And he shall sprinkle of the blood with his finger seven times before the mercy-seat. ¹⁵ Then he shall kill the goat of the sin offering, that is for the people, and bring his blood within the veil, and do with his blood as he did with the blood of the bullock, and sprinkle it upon the mercy-seat, and before the mercy-seat. ¹⁶ And he shall make atonement for the holy place, because of the uncleannesses of the sons of Israel, and because of their transgressions, even all their sins. And so he shall do for the tent of meeting that dwells with them in the midst of their uncleannesses. ¹⁷ And there shall be no man in the tent of meeting when he goes in to make atonement in the holy place until he comes out, and has made atonement for himself, and for his household, and for all the assembly of Israel. ¹⁸ And he shall go out to the altar that is before LORD, and make atonement for it. And shall take of the blood of the bullock, and of the blood of the goat, and put it upon the horns of the altar round about. ¹⁹ And he shall sprinkle of the blood upon it with his finger seven times, and cleanse it, and hallow it from the uncleannesses of the sons of Israel.

⁸ And LORD said to Moses, Make thee a fiery serpent, and set it upon a standard. And it shall come to pass, that everyone who is bitten, when he sees it, shall live.

²⁵ And the congregation shall deliver the manslayer out of the hand of the avenger of blood, and the congregation shall restore him to his city of refuge where he fled. And he shall dwell in it until the death of the high priest, who was anointed with the holy oil.

¹⁵ LORD thy God will raise up for thee a prophet from the midst of thee, of thy brothers, like me. Ye shall hearken to him, ¹⁶ according to all that thou desired of LORD thy God in Horeb in the day of the assembly, saying, Let me not hear again the voice of LORD my God, neither let me see this great fire any more, that I not die. ¹⁷ And LORD said to me, They have well said that which they have spoken. ¹⁸ I will raise up a prophet for them from among their brothers, like thee. And I will put my words in his mouth, and he shall speak to them all that I shall command him. ¹⁹ And it shall come to pass, that whoever will not hearken to my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him.

¹ Why do the nations rage, and the peoples meditate vain things? ² The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against LORD, and against his anointed, saying, ³ Let us break their bonds apart, and cast away their cords from us. ⁴ He who sits in the heavens will laugh. The Lord will have them in derision. ⁵ Then he will speak to them in his wrath, and vex them in his great displeasure. ⁶ Yet I have set my king upon my holy hill of Zion. ⁷ I will tell of the decree. LORD said to me, Thou are my Son, this day I have begotten thee. ⁸ Ask of me, and I will give thee the nations for thine inheritance, and the outermost parts of the earth for thy possession. ⁹ Thou shall break them with a rod of iron, thou shall dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel. ¹⁰ Now therefore be wise, O ye kings. Be instructed, ye judges of the earth. ¹¹ Serve LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling. ¹² Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish in the way, for his wrath will soon be kindled. Blessed are all those who take refuge in him.

⁹ Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoices. My flesh also shall dwell in hope. ¹⁰ For thou will not leave my soul to Sheol, nor will thou allow thy holy man to see corruption. ¹¹ Thou made known to me the path of life. Thou will fill me of joy with thy countenance.

⁶ Sacrifice and offering thou did not desire, but a body thou have prepared for me. Whole burnt offering and sacrifice for sin thou did not require. ⁷ Then I said, Lo, I have come. In the volume of a book it is written of me. ⁸ I delight to do thy will, O my God. Yea, thy law is within my heart.

¹ Give the king thy judgments, O God, and thy righteousness to the king's son. ² He will judge thy people with righteousness, and thy poor with justice. ³ The mountains shall bring peace to the people, and the hills, in righteousness. ⁴ He will judge the poor of the people. He will save the sons of the needy, and will break in pieces the oppressor. ⁵ They shall fear thee while the sun endures, and as long as the moon, throughout all generations. ⁶ He will come down like rain upon the mown grass, as showers that water the earth. ⁷ In his days righteousness shall flourish, and abundance of peace, till the moon is no more. ⁸ He shall also have dominion from sea to sea, and from the River to the ends of the earth. ⁹ Those who dwell in the wilderness shall bow before him, and his enemies shall lick the dust. ¹⁰ The kings of Tarshish and of the isles shall render tribute. The kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts. ¹¹ Yea, all kings shall fall down before him. All nations shall serve him. ¹² For he will deliver a needy man when he cries, and a poor man, who has no helper. ¹³ He will have pity on a poor and needy man, and he will save the souls of the needy. ¹⁴ He will redeem their soul from oppression and violence. And their blood will be precious in his sight, ¹⁵ and they shall live. And to him shall be given of the gold of Sheba. And men shall pray for him continually. They shall bless him all the day long. ¹⁶ There shall be abundance of grain in the earth upon the top of the mountains. The fruit of it shall shake like Lebanon. And they of the city shall flourish like grass of the earth. ¹⁷ His name shall endure forever. His name shall be continued as long as the sun. And men shall be blessed in him. All nations shall call him blessed. ¹⁸ Blessed be LORD God, the God of Israel, who alone does wondrous things. ¹⁹ And blessed be his glorious name forever. And let the whole earth be filled with his glory. Truly, and Truly. ²⁰ The prayers of David the son of Jesse are ended.

¹ O LORD, the God of my salvation, I have cried day and night before thee. ² Let my prayer enter into thy presence. Incline thine ear to my cry. ³ For my soul is full of troubles, and my life draws near to Sheol. ⁴ I am reckoned with those who go down into the pit. I am as a man who has no help, ⁵ cast off among the dead, like the slain who lie in the grave, whom thou remember no more, and they are cut off from thy hand. ⁶ Thou have laid me in the lowest pit, in dark places, in the deeps. ⁷ Thy wrath lays hard upon me, and thou have afflicted me with all thy waves. Selah. ⁸ Thou have put my acquaintances far from me. Thou have made me an abomination to them. I am shut up, and I cannot come forth. ⁹ My eye wastes away because of affliction. I have called daily upon thee, O LORD, I have spread forth my hands to thee. ¹⁰ Will thou show wonders to the dead? Shall those who are deceased arise and praise thee? Selah. ¹¹ Shall thy loving kindness be declared in the grave, or thy faithfulness in destruction? ¹² Shall thy wonders be known in the dark, and thy righteousness in the land of forgetfulness? ¹³ But to thee, O LORD, I have cried, and in the morning my prayer shall come before thee. ¹⁴ LORD, why do thou cast off my soul? Why do thou hide thy face from me? ¹⁵ I am afflicted and ready to die from my youth up. While I suffer thy terrors I am confounded. ¹⁶ Thy fierce wrath has gone over me. Thy terrors have cut me off. ¹⁷ They came round about me like water all the day long. They encompassed me around together. ¹⁸ Thou have put beloved and friend far from me, and my acquaintances into darkness.

⁴ For my love they are my adversaries, but I make prayer. ⁵ And they have rewarded me evil for good, and hatred for my love. ⁶ Set thou a wicked man over him, and let an adversary stand at his right hand. ⁷ When he is judged, let him come forth guilty, and let his prayer be turned into sin. ⁸ Let his days be few, and let another take his office. ⁹ Let his sons be fatherless, and his wife a widow. ¹⁰ Let his sons be vagabonds, and beg, and let them seek out of their desolate places. ¹¹ Let a creditor exact all that he has, and let strangers make spoil of his labor. ¹² Let there be none to extend kindness to him, nor let there be any to have pity on his fatherless sons. ¹³ Let his posterity be cut off. In the generation following let their name be blotted out. ¹⁴ Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered with LORD, and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out. ¹⁵ Let them be before LORD continually, that he may cut off the memory of them from the earth, ¹⁶ because he did not remember to show kindness, but persecuted the poor and needy man, and the broken in heart, to kill. ¹⁷ Yea, he loved cursing, and it came to him. And he did not delight in blessing, and it was far from him. ¹⁸ He also clothed himself with cursing as with his garment, and it came into his inward parts like water, and like oil into his bones. ¹⁹ Let it be to him as the raiment with which he covers himself, and for the belt with which he is girded continually. ²⁰ This is the reward of my adversaries from LORD, and of those who speak evil against my soul.

¹ LORD says to my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand until I make thine enemies thy footstool. ² LORD will send forth the rod of thy strength out of Zion. Rule thou in the midst of thine enemies. ³ Thy people offer themselves willingly in the day of thy power, in holy array. Out of the womb of the morning thou have the dew of thy youth. ⁴ LORD has sworn, and will not repent. Thou are a priest forever after the order of Melchizedek. ⁵ The Lord at thy right hand will strike through kings in the day of his wrath. ⁶ He will judge among the nations. He will fill with dead bodies. He will strike through the head in many countries. ⁷ He will drink of the brook in the way, therefore he will lift up the head.

²² The stone which the builders rejected has become the head of the corner.

⁶ For to us a child is born, to us a son is given. And the government shall be upon his shoulder. And his name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Father of Eternity, Prince of Peace.

¹ And there shall come forth a shoot out of the stock of Jesse. And a branch out of his roots shall bear fruit. ² And the Spirit of LORD shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of LORD. ³ And his delight shall be in the fear of LORD. And he shall not judge according to the sight of his eyes, nor decide according to the hearing of his ears, ⁴ but with righteousness he shall judge the poor, and decide with equity for the meek of the earth. And he shall smite the earth with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips he shall kill the wicked. ⁵ And righteousness shall be the belt of his waist, and faithfulness the belt of his loins. ⁶ And the wolf shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid, and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together, and a little child shall lead them. ⁷ And the cow and the bear shall feed; their young ones shall lie down together. And the lion shall eat straw like the ox. ⁸ And the sucking child shall play on the hole of the asp, and the weaned child shall put his hand on the adder's den. ⁹ They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain, for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of LORD as the waters cover the sea. ¹⁰ And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse, and he who arises to rule over the Gentiles. In him shall the Gentiles hope, and his resting-place shall be glorious.

¹⁶ Therefore thus says the lord LORD, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation, a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner-stone, a sure foundation. He who believes in him shall, no, not be shamed.

¹ Comfort ye, comfort ye my people, says your God. ² Speak ye comfortably to Jerusalem, and cry to her, that her warfare has been completed, that her iniquity is pardoned, that she has received of LORD's hand double for all her sins. ³ The voice of a man crying out in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of LORD, make straight in the desert a highway for our God. ⁴ Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill shall be made low. And the crooked shall become straight, and the rough places smooth. ⁵ And the glory of LORD shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together. For the mouth of LORD has spoken it. ⁶ The voice said, Cry. And he said, What shall I cry? All flesh is grass, and all the goodliness of it is as the flower of the field. ⁷ The grass withers, the flower fades, because the breath of LORD blows upon it. Surely the people is grass. ⁸ The grass withers, the flower fades, but the word of our God shall stand forever. ⁹ O thou who tell good news to Zion, get thee up on a high mountain. O thou who tell good news to Jerusalem, lift up thy voice with strength. Lift it up, be not afraid, say to the cities of Judah, Behold, your God!

¹ Behold, my servant, whom I uphold, my chosen, in whom my soul delights. I have put my Spirit upon him, he will bring forth justice to the Gentiles. ² He will not cry, nor lift up his voice, nor cause it to be heard in the street. ³ A bruised reed he will not break, and a dimly burning wick he will not quench, but he will bring forth justice in truth. ⁴ He will not fail nor be discouraged till he has set justice in the earth. And in his name Gentiles will hope.

¹ Listen, O isles, to me, and hearken, ye peoples from far. LORD has called me from the womb. From the bowels of my mother he has made mention of my name. ² And he has made my mouth like a sharp sword. He has hid me in the shadow of his hand, and he has made me a polished shaft. He has kept me close in his quiver. ³ And he said to me, Thou are my servant, Israel, in whom I will be glorified. ⁴ But I said, I have labored in vain. I have spent my strength for nothing and vanity. Yet surely the justice due to me is with LORD, and my recompense with my God. ⁵ And now says LORD who formed me from the womb to be his servant, to bring Jacob again to him, and that Israel be gathered to him (for I am honorable in the eyes of LORD, and my God has become my strength), ⁶ yea, he says, It is too light a thing that thou should be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the preserved of Israel. I will also give thee for a light to the Gentiles, that thou may be my salvation to the end of the earth. ⁷ Thus says LORD, the Redeemer of Israel, and his Holy One, to him whom man despises, to him whom the nation abhors, to a servant of rulers. Kings shall see and arise, rulers, and they shall worship, because of LORD who is faithful, even the Holy One of Israel, who has chosen thee. ⁸ Thus says LORD, In an acceptable time I have heard thee, and in a day of salvation I have helped thee. And I will preserve thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, to raise up the land, to make them inherit the desolate heritages,

² Why, when I came, was there no man? When I called, was there none to answer? Is my hand shortened at all, that it cannot redeem? Or have I no power to deliver? Behold, at my rebuke I dry up the sea. I make the rivers a wilderness. Their fish stink because there is no water, and die for thirst. ³ I clothe the heavens with blackness, and I make sackcloth their covering. ⁴ The lord LORD has given me the tongue of those who are taught, that I may know how to sustain with words him who is weary. He awakens morning by morning. He awakens my ear to hear as those who are taught. ⁵ The lord LORD has opened my ear, and I was not rebellious, nor turned away backward. ⁶ I gave my back to the smiters, and my cheeks to those who plucked off the hair. I did not hide my face from shame and spitting.

¹³ Behold, my servant shall deal wisely. He shall be exalted and lifted up, and shall be very high.

¹ The Spirit of the lord LORD is upon me, because LORD has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to heal the broken-hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, and the opening of bonds to those who are bound, ² to proclaim the acceptable year of LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all who mourn, ³ to appoint to those who mourn in Zion, to give to them a garland for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness, that they may be called trees of righteousness, the planting of LORD, that he may be glorified.

⁵ Behold, the days come, says LORD, that I will raise to David a righteous Branch, and he shall reign as king and deal wisely, and shall execute justice and righteousness in the land.

¹⁴ Behold, the days come, says LORD, that I will perform that good word which I have spoken concerning the house of Israel and concerning the house of Judah.

²² Thus says the lord LORD: I will also take of the lofty top of the cedar, and will set it. I will crop off a tender one from the topmost of its young twigs, and I will plant it upon a high and lofty mountain.

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

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

⁷ But I will have mercy upon the house of Judah, and will save them by LORD their God, and will not save them by bow, nor by sword, nor by battle, by horses, nor by horsemen. ⁸ Now when she had weaned Lo-ruhamah, she conceived, and bore a son. ⁹ And LORD said, Call his name Lo-ammi, for ye are not my people, and I will not be yours. ¹⁰ Yet the number of the sons of Israel shall be as the sand of the sea, which cannot be measured nor numbered. And it shall come to pass that, in the place where it was said to them, Ye are not my people, it shall be said to them, The sons of the living God. ¹¹ And the sons of Judah and the sons of Israel shall be gathered together, and they shall appoint themselves one head, and shall go up from the land, for great shall be the day of Jezreel.

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

²⁸ And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my Spirit upon all flesh, and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy. Your old men shall dream dreams. Your young men shall see visions. ²⁹ And also I will pour out my Spirit upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days. 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. ³² And it shall come to pass, that whoever shall call on the name of LORD shall be saved. For in mount Zion and in Jerusalem there shall be those who escape, as LORD has said, and among the remnant those whom LORD calls.

¹¹ In that day I will raise up the tabernacle of David that is fallen, and close up the breaches thereof. And I will raise up its ruins, and I will build it as in the days of old,

¹ Now thou shall gather thyself in troops, O daughter of troops. He has laid siege against us. They shall smite the judge of Israel with a rod upon the cheek.

⁷ And I will shake all nations, and the precious things of all nations shall come, and I will fill this house with glory, says LORD of hosts. ⁸ The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, says LORD of hosts. ⁹ The latter glory of this house shall be greater than the former, says LORD of hosts, and in this place I will give peace, says LORD of hosts.

¹² And speak to him, saying, Thus speaks LORD of hosts, saying, Behold, the man whose name is the Branch. And he shall grow up out of his place, and he shall build the temple of LORD,

⁸ And I cut off the three shepherds in one month, for my soul was weary of them, and their soul also loathed me. ⁹ Then I said, I will not feed you. That which dies, let it die, and that which is to be cut off, let it be cut off, and let those who are left eat each one the flesh of another. ¹⁰ And I took my staff Beauty, and cut it apart, that I might break my covenant which I had made with all the peoples. ¹¹ And it was broken in that day, and thus the poor of the flock who gave heed to me knew that it was the word of LORD. ¹² And I said to them, If ye think good, give me my wage, and if not, forbear. So they weighed for my wage thirty pieces of silver. ¹³ And LORD said to me, Cast it to the potter, the good price that I was valued by them. And I took the thirty pieces of silver, and cast them to the potter in the house of LORD.

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

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.

² But to you who fear my name the sun of righteousness shall arise with healing in its wings, and ye shall go forth, and frolic as calves of the stall. ³ And ye shall tread down the wicked, for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I make, says LORD of hosts. ⁴ Remember ye the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded to him in Horeb for all Israel, even statutes and ordinances. ⁵ Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the great and fearful day of LORD comes. ⁶ And he shall turn the hearts of the fathers to the sons, and the heart of the sons to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.

⁵⁴ How then would the scriptures be fulfilled that it is necessary to happen this way?

⁵⁶ But all this has come to pass, so that the scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled. Then all the disciples fled, having forsook him.

³¹ And he began to teach them that it was necessary for the Son of man to suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders, and the chief priests, and the scholars, and be killed, and after three days to rise. ³² And he spoke the matter openly. And having taken him aside, Peter began to rebuke him.

³¹ For he taught his disciples, and said to them, The Son of man is delivered up into the hands of men, and they will kill him. And after being killed, he will rise the third day.

³¹ And having taken along the twelve, he said to them, Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and all the things that are written through the prophets about the Son of man will be completed. ³² For he will be delivered up to the Gentiles, and he will be mocked and insulted and spit upon. ³³ And after scourging, they will kill him, and the third day he will rise up. ³⁴ And they understood none of these things, and this saying was hidden from them, and they did not understand the things that were said.

²² Because these are days of vengeance to fulfill all things that are written.

³⁷ For I say to you, that this that is written is still necessary to be completed in me, And he was counted with lawless men, for these things about me also have fulfillment.

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

²⁶ Was it not necessary for the Christ to suffer these things, and to enter into his glory? ²⁷ And having begun from Moses and from all the prophets, he expounded to them in all the scriptures the things about himself.

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

⁴⁶ For if ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me, for that man wrote about me.

⁴ But I have told you these things, so that when the hour comes, ye may remember that I told you of them. But I did not tell you these things from the beginning because I was with you. ⁵ But now I go to him who sent me, and none of you asks me, Where do thou go?

¹⁶ A little while, and ye do not see me. Again a little while, and ye will look at me, because I go to the Father. ¹⁷ Therefore some of his disciples said among themselves, What is this that he says to us, A little while, and ye do not see me, and, Again a little while, and ye will look at me, and, Because I go to the Father?

¹¹ And I am no more in the world, and these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep them in thy name that thou have given to me, so that they may be one, just as we. ¹² While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name. Whom thou gave to me, I kept, and none of them was destroyed, except the son of destruction, so that the scripture might be fulfilled. ¹³ And now I come to thee. And I speak these things in the world, so that they may have my joy fulfilled in them.

²⁴ They said therefore among themselves, Let us not divide it, but cast a lot for it, whose it will be, so that the scripture might be fulfilled, which says, They parted my garments among them, and for my clothing they cast a lot. Therefore the soldiers indeed did these things. ²⁵ And his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Cleopas, and Mary Magdalene had stood near the cross of Jesus. ²⁶ When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple whom he loved standing by, he says to his mother, Woman, behold thy son. ²⁷ Then he says to the disciple, Behold, thy mother. And from that hour the disciple took her to his own place. ²⁸ After this, Jesus, having seen that all things are now completed, so that the scripture might be fully complete, says, I thirst. ²⁹ Therefore a vessel full of vinegar was set there. And having filled a sponge with the vinegar, and having put it around a hyssop, they brought it to his mouth. ³⁰ When therefore Jesus received the vinegar, he said, It is finished, and after bowing his head, he gave up the spirit. ³¹ The Jews therefore, so that the bodies would not remain on the cross on the sabbath, since it was Preparation (for it was the high day of that sabbath), they besought Pilate that their legs might be broken, and they might be removed. ³² The soldiers therefore came, and indeed broke the legs of the first, and of the other man who was crucified with him. ³³ But having come to Jesus, when they saw him now having died, they did not break his legs. ³⁴ But one of the soldiers pierced his side with a spear, and straightaway blood and water came out. ³⁵ And he who has seen has testified, and his testimony is true. And that man knows that he speaks true, so that ye may believe. ³⁶ For these things happened so that the scripture might be fulfilled, Not a bone of him will be broken. ³⁷ And again another scripture says, They will look toward whom they pierced.

¹⁸ But this way God fulfilled what things were foretold, through the mouth of all his prophets, the Christ was to endure.

²² For Moses indeed said to the fathers, The Lord our God will raise up a prophet for you, from your brothers, like me. Ye shall hear him in all things, as many as he might speak to you. ²³ And every soul, whichever it will be, if it will not hear that prophet will be utterly destroyed from the people. ²⁴ And also all the prophets from Samuel and those in succession, as many as spoke, also proclaimed these days.

²⁹ And when they completed all the things written about him, having taken him down from the tree, they laid him in a tomb. ³⁰ But God raised him from the dead, ³¹ who was seen for more days by those who came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are witnesses of him to the people.

³³ as also it is written in the second psalm, Thou are my Son, today I have begotten thee.

⁵ And Moses was indeed faithful in all his house as a servant, for a testimony of the things that were going to be spoken,

¹ For this Melchizedek, king of Salem, priest of God Most High, having met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings, also blessed him.

⁸ this signifying from the Holy Spirit, the way into the holy things is not yet to be made known while the first tabernacle still remains.

¹ For the law having a shadow of the good things that are coming, not the same substance of the events, with the same sacrifices that are offered continually each year, they are never able to fully perfect those who are approaching.

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?

¹⁶ Then he opens the ears of men, and seals their instruction

¹⁸ Open thou my eyes that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law.

¹⁰ For LORD has poured out upon you the spirit of deep sleep, and has closed your eyes. The prophets, and your heads, the seers, he has covered. ¹¹ And all vision has become to you as the words of a book that is sealed, which men deliver to a man who is learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee. And he says, I cannot, for it is sealed. ¹² And the book is delivered to him who is not learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee. And he says, I am not learned.

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

³² And they said to each other, Was not our heart burning within us while he spoke to us on the way, while he opened to us the scriptures?

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

¹⁴ But their minds were hardened, for to this day the same veil remains at the reading of the old testament, not being uncovered, which thing is abolished in Christ. ¹⁵ But to this day when Moses is read, a veil lies upon their heart. ¹⁶ But whenever it turns to the Lord, the veil is removed. ¹⁷ Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. ¹⁸ But we all, with unveiled face seeing by reflection the glory of the Lord, are transformed into the same likeness from glory to glory, just as from the Spirit of the Lord.

⁴ in whom the god of this age has blinded the minds of the unbelieving, in order for the light of the good news of the glory of the Christ (who is a likeness of God) not to shine forth to them. ⁵ For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus as Lord, and ourselves are your bondmen through Jesus. ⁶ Because it is God who said, Out of darkness light is to shine, who shone in our hearts for an enlightenment of the knowledge of the glory of God in the presence of Jesus Christ.

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

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

⁷ And to the agent of the congregation in Philadelphia write, These things says the Holy, the True, he who has the key of David, who opens, and none will shut it except he who opens, and none will open:

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.

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

² that thy way may be known upon earth, thy salvation among all nations. ³ Let the peoples praise thee, O God. Let all the peoples praise thee. ⁴ O let the nations be glad and sing for joy. For thou will judge the peoples with equity, and govern the nations upon earth. Selah.

⁷ God will bless us, and all the ends of the earth shall fear him.

⁹ All nations whom thou have made shall come and worship before thee, O Lord, and they shall glorify thy name.

¹ O sing to LORD a new song, for he has done marvelous things. His right hand, and his holy arm, has wrought salvation for him. ² LORD has made known his salvation. He has openly shown his righteousness in the sight of the nations. ³ He has remembered his loving kindness and his faithfulness toward the house of Israel. All the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God.

¹ O praise LORD, all ye Gentiles, laud him, all ye peoples. ² For his loving kindness is great toward us, and the truth of LORD is forever. Praise ye LORD.

¹ The word that Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem. ² And it shall come to pass in the latter days, that the mountain of LORD's house shall be established on the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills, and all nations shall flow to it. ³ And many peoples shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob, and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths. For out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of LORD from Jerusalem.

⁴ What could have been done more to my vineyard that I have not done in it? Why, when I looked that it should bring forth grapes, it brought forth wild grapes?

¹⁰ And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse, and he who arises to rule over the Gentiles. In him shall the Gentiles hope, and his resting-place shall be glorious.

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

²² Thus says the lord LORD: Behold, I will lift up my hand to the nations, and set up my ensign to the peoples. And they shall bring thy sons in their bosom, and thy daughters shall be carried upon their shoulders.

¹⁰ LORD has made bare his holy arm in the eyes of all the nations, and all the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God.

¹⁵ so shall he sprinkle many nations. Kings shall shut their mouths at him. For that which had not been told them they shall see, and that which they had not heard they shall understand.

¹ Arise, shine, for thy light has come, and the glory of LORD has risen upon thee. ² For, behold, darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the peoples. But LORD will arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee. ³ And nations shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising.

¹⁸ For I know their works and their thoughts. The time comes, that I will gather all nations and tongues, and they shall come, and shall see my glory. ¹⁹ And I will set a sign among them, and I will send such as escape of them to the nations, to Tarshish, Pul, and Lud, that draw the bow, to Tubal and Javan, to the isles afar off, who have not heard my fame, nor have seen my glory, and they shall declare my glory among the nations. ²⁰ And they shall bring all your brothers out of all the nations for an oblation to LORD, upon horses, and in chariots, and in litters, and upon mules, and upon dromedaries, to my holy mountain Jerusalem, says LORD, as the sons of Israel bring their oblation in a clean vessel into the house of LORD. ²¹ And of them also I will take for priests and for Levites, says LORD.

³⁴ And they shall teach no more every man his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, Know LORD, for they shall all know me, from the least of them to the greatest of them, says LORD. For I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.

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.

²³ And I will sow her to me in the earth. And I will have mercy upon her who had not obtained mercy. And I will say to those who were not my people, Thou are my people, and they shall say, My God.

⁸ How shall I give thee up, Ephraim? How shall I cast thee off, Israel? How shall I make thee as Admah? How shall I set thee as Zeboiim? My heart is turned within me. My compassions are kindled together.

² And many nations shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of LORD, and to the house of the God of Jacob, and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths. For out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of LORD from Jerusalem.

¹¹ 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.

² Repent ye, for the kingdom of the heavens has approached.

¹⁰ And when Jesus heard it, he marveled, and said to those who followed, Truly I say to you, not even in Israel have I found such great faith. ¹¹ And I say to you, that many will come from east and west, and will sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of the heavens,

¹³ But after going, learn what this means, I desire mercy, and not sacrifice, for I came not to call the righteous, but sinners for repentance.

⁵ These twelve Jesus sent forth, having ordered them, saying, Go not into a way of the Gentiles, and enter not into a city of the Samaritans, ⁶ but go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.

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

³⁴ O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, that kills the prophets, and stones those who are sent to her. How often I wanted to gather thy children together as a hen does her brood under her wings, and ye would not.

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

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

²⁵ Ye are sons of the prophets, and of the covenant that God made for our fathers, saying to Abraham, And in thy seed all the patriarchies of the earth will be blessed. ²⁶ To you first, having raised up his Boy Jesus, God sent him blessing you, in turning away each man from your evils.

³¹ God exalted this man with his right hand, a Pathfinder and a Savior to give repentance to Israel and remission of sins.

⁴⁶ For they heard them speaking in tongues and magnifying God. Then Peter answered, ⁴⁷ Can any man forbid the water for these not to be immersed, who have received the Holy Spirit as we also? ⁴⁸ And he commanded them to be immersed in the name of the Lord. Then they asked him to remain some days.

¹⁸ And when they heard these things, they relaxed and glorified God, saying, Then God has also granted to the Gentiles repentance to life.

³⁸ Be it known to you therefore, men, brothers, that through this man remission of sins is proclaimed to you. ³⁹ And from all things of which ye could not be make righteous by the law of Moses, in this man every man who believes is made righteous.

⁴⁶ But having spoken boldly, Paul and Barnabas said, It was necessary for the word of God to be spoken first to you, but since ye thrust it away, and judge yourselves unworthy of eternal life, lo, we turn to the Gentiles.

³⁰ Indeed therefore having overlooked the times of ignorance, God now commands for all men everywhere to repent. ³¹ Because he appointed a day during which he is going to judge the world in righteousness by a man whom he appointed, having provided assurance to all men because he raised him from the dead.

⁵ And when both Silas and Timothy came down from Macedonia, Paul was being held by the Spirit, fully testifying to the Jews, Jesus the Christ. ⁶ But when they opposed and slandered him, having shaken out his clothes, he said to them, Your blood is upon your heads. I am clean. From henceforth I will go to the Gentiles.

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

²⁰ but declaring first to those at Damascus and then at Jerusalem, and in all the region of Judea, and to the Gentiles, to repent and return to God, doing works worthy of repentance.

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

²⁰ And the law entered so that the offense might abound. But where sin abounded, grace was more abundant,

¹² For there is no distinction of a Jew and also of a Greek, for the same Lord is of all men, being rich toward all those who call upon him. ¹³ For every man, whoever may call upon the name of the Lord will be saved. ¹⁴ How then will they call on whom they have not believed? And how will they believe of whom they have not heard? And how will they hear without preaching? ¹⁵ And how will they preach unless they are sent? Just as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of those who proclaim good news of peace, of those who proclaim good news of good things. ¹⁶ But not all were obedient to the good news, for Isaiah says, Lord, who has believed our report? ¹⁷ So faith is from hearing, and hearing by the word of God. ¹⁸ But I say, did they, no, not hear? Rather, Their voice went forth into all the earth, and their sayings to the limits of the inhabited world.

²⁶ And so all Israel will be saved, as it is written, The man who delivers will come from Zion, and will turn away impiety from Jacob. ²⁷ And this is the covenant from me to them when I will take away their sins.

⁸ And I say, Christ Jesus became a helper of men of circumcision, for the sake of God's truth (in order to confirm the promises of the fathers), ⁹ and the Gentiles, for the sake of mercy, to glorify God, as it is written, Because of this I will give thanks to thee among Gentiles, and will sing to thy name. ¹⁰ And again he says, Rejoice, O Gentiles, with his people. ¹¹ And again, Praise ye the Lord all nations, and let all the peoples praise him. ¹² And again, Isaiah says, There will be the root of Jesse, and he who arises to reign over Gentiles. In him Gentiles will hope. ¹³ Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, for ye to abound in hope in the power of the Holy Spirit. ¹⁴ And I also myself am persuaded about you, my brothers, that ye yourselves are also full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, able also to admonish others. ¹⁵ But I wrote more boldly to you, brothers, in part, as reminding you because of the grace that was given to me by God, ¹⁶ for me to be a minister of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles, serving the good news of God like a priest, so that the offering up of the Gentiles might become acceptable, being sanctified in the Holy Spirit.

⁶ for appreciation of the glory of his grace, by which he blessed us in him who is beloved.

⁸ To me, a man less than the least of all the sanctified, this grace was given to preach good news among the Gentiles, the unsearchable wealth of Christ,

²⁷ To whom God wanted to make known what is the wealth of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.

¹² I write to you, little children, because your sins have been forgiven you through his name.

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

⁸ But ye will receive the power of the Holy Spirit that comes upon you. And ye will be witnesses to me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and as far as of the extremity of the earth.

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

³² This Jesus, God raised up, of which we are all witnesses.

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

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.

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

³⁹ And we are witnesses of all that he did both in the country of the Jews, and in Jerusalem, whom also they killed, having hung on a tree.

³¹ who was seen for more days by those who came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are witnesses of him to the people.

¹⁵ because thou will be a witness for him to all men of the things that thou have seen and heard.

³ how will we escape, having neglected so great a salvation? Which first, having taken to be spoken by the Lord, was verified for us by those who heard; ⁴ God also testifying simultaneously by signs and wonders, and by various powers and distributions of the Holy Spirit according to his will.

¹ I, a fellow elder and witness of the sufferings of the Christ, and a partaker of the glory going be revealed, exhort the elders among you:

² (and the life was made known, and we have seen, and testify, and declare to you the eternal life that was with the Father, and was made known to us), ³ what we have seen and heard we also declare to you, so that ye also may have fellowship with us. Even also our fellowship with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.

¹⁵ until the Spirit be poured upon us from on high, and the wilderness becomes a fruitful field, and the fruitful field be esteemed as a forest.

³ For I will pour water upon him who is thirsty, and streams upon the dry ground. I will pour my Spirit upon thy seed, and my blessing upon thine offspring. ⁴ And they shall spring up among the grass, as willows by the watercourses.

²⁰ And he who redeems will come to Zion, and to those who turn from transgression in Jacob, says LORD. ²¹ And as for me, this is my covenant with them, says LORD: My Spirit that is upon thee, and my words which I have put in thy mouth, shall not depart out of thy mouth, nor out of the mouth of thy seed, nor out of the mouth of thy seed's seed, says LORD, from henceforth and forever.

¹⁶ And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another helper, so that he may dwell with you into the age, ¹⁷ the Spirit of truth, which the world cannot receive, because it does not see nor know it. But ye know it, because it dwells with you, and will be in you.

²⁶ But when the helper comes whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth that proceeds from the Father, that will testify about me.

⁷ Nevertheless I tell you the truth, it is expedient for you that I depart, for if I do not depart, the helper will not come to you. But whenever I go, I will send him to you. ⁸ And having come, that will convict the world about sin, and about justice, and about judgment. ⁹ About sin because they truly did not believe in me, ¹⁰ and about justice because I go to the Father, and ye see me no more, ¹¹ and about judgment because the ruler of this world has been judged. ¹² I have yet many things to say to you, but ye cannot bear them now. ¹³ However when that, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all the truth. For he will not speak from himself, but as many things as he may hear, he will speak. And he will report to you the things that are coming. ¹⁴ He will glorify me because he will receive from me, and will report to you. ¹⁵ All things, as many as the Father has are mine. Because of this I said that he takes from me, and will report to you. ¹⁶ A little while, and ye do not see me. Again a little while, and ye will look at me, because I go to the Father.

⁴ And being assembled together, he commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the promise of the Father, Which, he said, ye heard from me.

¹ And while fulfilling the day of Pentecost, they were all together at the same place. ² And suddenly there developed a sound from the sky as of a forceful wind moving, and it filled the entire house where they were sitting. ³ And there appeared to them dividing tongues, as of fire, and they settled upon each one of them. ⁴ And they were all filled of the Holy Spirit, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them to declare. ⁵ Now there were dwelling at Jerusalem, Jews, devout men from every nation under heaven. ⁶ And the sound of this that happened brought the multitude together. And it was bewildered because each one heard them speaking in his own language. ⁷ And they were amazed and marveled, saying to each other, Behold, are not all these men who speak Galileans? ⁸ And how do we each hear our own language in which we were born? ⁹ Parthians and Medes and Elamites, and those dwelling in Mesopotamia, and Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, ¹⁰ and Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya along Cyrene, and those Roman aliens, including Jews and proselytes, ¹¹ Cretes and Arabians. We hear them speaking in our tongues the great things of God. ¹² And they were all amazed, and were perplexed, others saying to others, Whatever does this intend to be? ¹³ But others, mocking said, They are filled of wine. ¹⁴ But Peter having stood up with the eleven, raised his voice and spoke out to them, saying, Jewish men, and all who dwell at Jerusalem, be this known to you, and listen to my sayings. ¹⁵ For these men are not drunken, as ye suppose, for it is the third hour of the day. ¹⁶ But this is that which was spoken through the prophet Joel: ¹⁷ And it will be in the last days, says God, I will pour out from my Spirit upon all flesh. And your sons and your daughters will prophesy, and your young men will see visions, and your elders will dream dreams. ¹⁸ And also on my bondmen and on my bondmaids in those days I will pour out from my Spirit, and they will prophesy. 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. ²¹ And it will be, that every man, whoever may call on the name of the Lord will be saved.

¹⁸ And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine. And he was priest of God Most High. ¹⁹ And he blessed him, and said, Blessed be Abram of God Most High, possessor of heaven and earth. ²⁰ And blessed be God Most High, who has delivered thine enemies into thy hand. And Abram gave him a tenth of all.

⁴ And make savory food for me, such as I love, and bring it to me, that I may eat, that my soul may bless thee before I die.

⁹ And Joseph said to his father, They are my sons, whom God has given me here. And he said, Bring them, I pray thee, to me, and I will bless them.

²⁸ All these are the twelve tribes of Israel, and this is it that their father spoke to them and blessed them; every man according to his blessing he blessed them.

²³ Speak to Aaron and to his sons, saying, This way ye shall bless the sons of Israel: Ye shall say to them, ²⁴ LORD bless thee, and keep thee. ²⁵ LORD make his face to shine upon thee, and be gracious to thee. ²⁶ LORD lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace. ²⁷ So shall they put my name upon the sons of Israel, and I will bless them.

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

¹⁶ And having embraced them, while laying his hands upon them, he blessed them.

¹ And when they came near to Jerusalem, to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount of Olives, he sends forth two of his disciples,

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

⁵ Now indeed those of the sons of Levi who receive the priesthood have commandment to collect tithes from the people according to the law, that is, of their brothers, although having come out of the loins of Abraham. ⁶ But the man who did not descend from them has received tithes from Abraham, and has blessed the man having the promises. ⁷ And without all contradiction the inferior is blessed by the superior.

¹¹ And it came to pass, as they still went on, and talked, that, behold, there appeared a chariot of fire, and horses of fire, which divided them both apart. And Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven.

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

¹⁷ Jesus says to her, Do not touch me, for I have not yet ascended to my Father. But go to my brothers, and say to them, I ascend to my Father and your Father, and my God and your God.

⁹ And having said these things, as they were watching, he was taken up, and a cloud received him from their eyes.

⁸ Therefore he says, Having ascended on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts to men. ⁹ And what is the ascended, except that he also first descended into the lower parts of the earth? ¹⁰ He who descended is also the same man who ascended high above all the heavens, so that he might fill all things.

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

¹⁴ Having therefore a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us take hold of the affirmation.

¹¹ Thou have turned for me my mourning into dancing. Thou have loosed my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness,

⁹ And as they were going to tell his disciples, behold, Jesus also met them, saying, Hail. And having come, they held his feet and worshiped him.

¹⁷ And when they saw him, they worshiped him, but men doubted.

²⁸ Ye heard that I said to you, I go, and I come to you. If ye loved me, ye would have rejoiced because I said I go to the Father, because my Father is greater than I.

⁷ Nevertheless I tell you the truth, it is expedient for you that I depart, for if I do not depart, the helper will not come to you. But whenever I go, I will send him to you.

²⁸ Thomas answered and said to him, My Lord and my God.

⁸ Whom, not having seen, ye love, in whom, not now seeing but believing, ye exult in inexpressible and glorified joy,

²⁰ teaching them to observe all things, as many as I commanded you. And lo, I am with you all the days, until the end of the age. Truly.

²⁰ And those men, having gone forth, they preached everywhere, the Lord working jointly, and confirming the word by the signs that followed. Truly.

⁴⁶ And continuing steadfastly, daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, they partook of nourishment in gladness and evenness of heart, ⁴⁷ praising God, and having favor with the whole populace. And the Lord was adding to the church daily those being saved.

⁴¹ Indeed therefore they departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were considered worthy to be treated shamefully for the name of Jesus. ⁴² And every day, in the temple and from house to house, they ceased not teaching and preaching good news, Jesus, the Christ.

²¹ The grace of the Lord Jesus is with all the sanctified. Truly.
