¹² Hearing this, Pilate had a desire to let him go free, but the Jews said in a loud voice, If you let this man go, you are not Caesar's friend: everyone who makes himself a king goes against Caesar. ¹³ So when these words came to Pilate's ear, he took Jesus out, seating himself in the judge's seat in a place named in Hebrew, Gabbatha, or the Stone Floor. ¹⁴ It was the day when they made ready for the Passover; and it was about the sixth hour. And he said to the Jews, There is your King! ¹⁵ Then they gave a loud cry, Away with him! away with him! to the cross! Pilate said to them, Am I to put your King to death on the cross? The chief priests said in answer, We have no king but Caesar. ¹⁶ So then he gave him up to them to be put to death on the cross. And they took Jesus away;

²³ And he gave orders to the captain to keep Paul under his control, and to let him have everything he had need of; and not to keep his friends from coming to see him. ²⁴ But after some days, Felix came with Drusilla his wife, who was of the Jews by birth, and sent for Paul, and gave hearing to him about faith in Christ Jesus. ²⁵ And while he was talking about righteousness and self-control and the judging which was to come, Felix had great fear and said, Go away for the present, and when the right time comes I will send for you. ²⁶ For he was hoping that Paul would give him money: so he sent for him more frequently and had talk with him. ²⁷ But after two years Porcius Festus took the place of Felix, who, desiring to have the approval of the Jews, kept Paul in chains.

³ Requesting Festus to give effect to their design against him, and send him to Jerusalem, when they would be waiting to put him to death on the way. ⁴ But Festus, in answer, said that Paul was being kept in prison at Caesarea, and that in a short time he himself was going there. ⁵ So, he said, let those who have authority among you go with me, and if there is any wrong in the man, let them make a statement against him. ⁶ And when he had been with them not more than eight or ten days, he went down to Caesarea; and on the day after, he took his place on the judge's seat, and sent for Paul. ⁷ And when he came, the Jews who had come down from Jerusalem came round him, and made all sorts of serious statements against him, which were not supported by the facts. ⁸ Then Paul, in his answer to them, said, I have done no wrong against the law of the Jews, or against the Temple, or against Caesar. ⁹ But Festus, desiring to get the approval of the Jews, said to Paul, Will you go up to Jerusalem, and be judged before me there in connection with these things?

¹⁶ But they put shame on the servants of God, making sport of his words and laughing at his prophets, till the wrath of God was moved against his people, till there was no help.

³⁰ I gave your children blows to no purpose; they got no good from training: your sword has been the destruction of your prophets, like a death-giving lion.

¹² But I say to you that Elijah has come, and they had no knowledge of him, but did to him whatever they were pleased to do; the same will the Son of man undergo at their hands.

³⁵ And the workmen made an attack on his servants, giving blows to one, putting another to death, and stoning another. ³⁶ Again, he sent other servants more in number than the first: and they did the same to them.

³ And sent out his servants to get in the guests to the feast: and they would not come. ⁴ Again he sent out other servants, with orders to say to the guests, See, I have made ready my feast: my oxen and my fat beasts have been put to death, and all things are ready: come to the feast. ⁵ But they gave no attention, and went about their business, one to his farm, another to his trade: ⁶ And the rest put violent hands on his servants, and did evil to them, and put them to death.

³⁴ For this reason, I send you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: some of them you will put to death and put on the cross, and to some of them you will give blows in your Synagogues, driving them from town to town; ³⁵ So that on you may come all the blood of the upright on the earth, from the blood of upright Abel to the blood of Zachariah, son of Barachiah, whom you put to death between the Temple and the altar. ³⁶ Truly I say to you, All these things will come on this generation.

¹³ But I say to you that Elijah has come, and they have done to him whatever they were pleased to do, even as the Writings say about him.

⁹ And Herod said, I put John to death: but who is this, of whom such stories are given to me? And he had a desire to see him.

⁷ And when they have come to the end of their witness, the beast which comes up out of the great deep will make war on them and overcome them and put them to death.

⁷ A curse on their passion for it was bitter; and on their wrath for it was cruel. I will let their heritage in Jacob be broken up, driving them from their places in Israel.

⁴ Wrath is cruel, and angry feeling an overflowing stream; but who does not give way before envy?

¹⁷ But your eyes and your heart are fixed only on profit for yourself, on causing the death of him who has done no wrong, and on violent and cruel acts.

³ And say, This is what the Lord has said to Jerusalem: Your start and your birth was from the land of the Canaanite; an Amorite was your father and your mother was a Hittite. ⁴ As for your birth, on the day of your birth your cord was not cut and you were not washed in water to make you clean; you were not salted or folded in linen bands.

² What was your mother? Like a she-lion among lions, stretched out among the young lions she gave food to her little ones. ³ And one of her little ones came to growth under her care, and became a young lion, learning to go after beasts for his food; and he took men for his meat.

⁶ For this cause, by my life, says the Lord, because you have been sinning through blood, blood will come after you.

⁶ For they made the blood of saints and prophets come out like a stream, and blood have you given them for drink; which is their right reward.

⁶ And I saw the woman overcome as with the wine of the blood of the saints, and the blood of those put to death because of Jesus. And when I saw her, I was overcome with a great wonder.

⁵⁸ This man went in to Pilate, and made a request for the body of Jesus. Then Pilate gave orders for it to be given to him. ⁵⁹ And Joseph took the body, folding it in clean linen, ⁶⁰ And put it in the resting-place which had been cut out of the rock for himself; and after rolling a great stone to the door of it he went away. ⁶¹ And Mary Magdalene was there, and the other Mary, seated by the place of the dead.

² And God-fearing men put Stephen's body in its last resting-place, making great weeping over him.

²³ But when they are cruel to you in one town, go in flight to another: for truly, I say to you, You will not have gone through the towns of Israel before the Son of man comes.

¹⁵ And Jesus, having knowledge of this, went away from there, and a great number went after him; and he made them all well,

¹ At that time news of Jesus came to Herod the king; ² And he said to his servants, This is John the Baptist; he has come back from the dead, and so these powers are working in him.

³² And Jesus got his disciples together and said, I have pity for the people, because they have now been with me three days and have no food: and I will not send them away without food, or they will have no strength for the journey. ³³ And the disciples say to him, How may we get enough bread in a waste place, to give food to such a number of people? ³⁴ And Jesus says to them, How much bread have you? And they said, Seven cakes, and some small fishes. ³⁵ Then he gave an order to the people to be seated on the earth, ³⁶ And he took the seven cakes of bread and the fishes; and having given praise, he gave the broken bread to the disciples, and the disciples gave it to the people. ³⁷ And they all took food, and had enough; and they took up of the broken bits, seven baskets full. ³⁸ And there were four thousand men who took food, together with women and children.

³⁰ And the twelve came together to Jesus; and they gave him an account of all the things they had done, and all they had been teaching. ³¹ And he said to them, Come away by yourselves to a quiet place, and take a rest for a time. Because there were a great number coming and going, and they had no time even for food. ³² And they went away in the boat to a waste place by themselves. ³³ And the people saw them going, and a number of them, having knowledge who they were, went running there together on foot from all the towns, and got there before them. ³⁴ And he got out, and saw a great mass of people, and he had pity on them, because they were like sheep without a keeper: and he gave them teaching about a number of things. ³⁵ And at the end of the day, his disciples came to him and said, This place is waste land, and it is late: ³⁶ Send them away, so that they may go into the country and small towns round about, and get some food for themselves. ³⁷ But he said to them in answer, Give them food yourselves. And they said to him, Are we to go and get bread for two hundred pence, and give it to them? ³⁸ And he said to them, How much bread have you? go and see. And when they had seen, they said, Five cakes of bread and two fishes. ³⁹ And he made them all be seated in groups on the green grass. ⁴⁰ And they were placed in groups, by hundreds and by fifties. ⁴¹ And he took the five cakes of bread and the two fishes and, looking up to heaven, he said words of blessing over them; and when the cakes were broken, he gave them to the disciples to put before the people; and he made division of the two fishes among them all. ⁴² And they all took of the food and had enough. ⁴³ And they took up twelve baskets full of the broken bits and of the fishes. ⁴⁴ And those who took of the bread were five thousand men.

¹⁰ And the twelve, when they came back, gave him an account of what they had done. And he took them with him and went away from the people to a town named Beth-saida. ¹¹ But the people, getting news of it, went after him: and he was pleased to see them, and gave them teaching about the kingdom of God, and made those well who were in need of it. ¹² And the day went on; and the twelve came to him and said, Send these people away so that they may go into the towns and the country round about and get resting-places and food for themselves, for we are in a waste place. ¹³ But he said, Give them food yourselves. And they said, We have only five cakes of bread and two fishes, if we do not go and get food for all these people. ¹⁴ For there were about five thousand men. And he said to his disciples, Make them be seated in groups, about fifty to a group. ¹⁵ And they did so, and made them all be seated. ¹⁶ And he took the five cakes of bread and the two fishes and, looking up to heaven, he said words of blessing over them, and when they had been broken, he gave them to the disciples to give to the people. ¹⁷ And they all took the food and had enough; and they took up of the broken bits which were over, twelve baskets full.

¹ After these things Jesus went away to the other side of the sea of Galilee--that is, the sea of Tiberias. ² And a great number of people went after him because they saw the signs which he did on those who were ill. ³ Then Jesus went up the mountain and was seated there with his disciples. ⁴ Now the Passover, a feast of the Jews, was near. ⁵ Lifting up his eyes, Jesus saw a great number of people coming to where he was, and he said to Philip, Where may we get bread for all these people? ⁶ This he said, testing him: for he had no doubt what he himself would do. ⁷ Philip made answer, Bread to the value of two hundred pence would not be enough even to give everyone a little. ⁸ One of his disciples, Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, said to Jesus, ⁹ There is a boy here with five barley cakes and two fishes: but what is that among such a number? ¹⁰ Jesus said, Let the people be seated. Now there was much grass in that place. And those seated on the grass were about five thousand. ¹¹ Then Jesus took the cakes and having given praise to God, he gave them to the people who were seated, and the fishes in the same way, as much as they had need of. ¹² And when they had had enough, Jesus said to his disciples, Take up the broken bits which are over, so that nothing may be wasted. ¹³ So they took them up: twelve baskets full of broken bits of the five cakes which were over after the people had had enough. ¹⁴ And when the people saw the sign which he had done, they said, Truly, this is the prophet who is to come into the world. ¹⁵ Now when Jesus saw that the people were about to come and take him by force to make him a king, he went away again up the mountain by himself.

²³ And Jesus went about in all Galilee, teaching in their Synagogues and preaching the good news of the kingdom, and making well those who were ill with any disease among the people.

³⁶ But when he saw all the people he was moved with pity for them, because they were troubled and wandering like sheep without a keeper.

³² And Jesus got his disciples together and said, I have pity for the people, because they have now been with me three days and have no food: and I will not send them away without food, or they will have no strength for the journey. ³³ And the disciples say to him, How may we get enough bread in a waste place, to give food to such a number of people? ³⁴ And Jesus says to them, How much bread have you? And they said, Seven cakes, and some small fishes. ³⁵ Then he gave an order to the people to be seated on the earth, ³⁶ And he took the seven cakes of bread and the fishes; and having given praise, he gave the broken bread to the disciples, and the disciples gave it to the people. ³⁷ And they all took food, and had enough; and they took up of the broken bits, seven baskets full. ³⁸ And there were four thousand men who took food, together with women and children. ³⁹ And when he had sent the people away, he got into the boat, and came into the country of Magadan.

³⁴ And he got out, and saw a great mass of people, and he had pity on them, because they were like sheep without a keeper: and he gave them teaching about a number of things.

¹ In those days again, when there was a great mass of people and they had no food, he made his disciples come to him and said to them, ² I have pity for these people because they have been with me now three days, and have no food;

²² And frequently it has sent him into the fire and into the water, for his destruction; but if you are able to do anything, have pity on us, and give us help.

¹³ And when the Lord saw her, he had pity on her and said to her, Be not sad.

⁴¹ And when he got near and saw the town, he was overcome with weeping for it,

³³ And when Jesus saw her weeping, and saw the Jews weeping who came with her, his spirit was moved and he was troubled, ³⁴ And said, Where have you put him? They said, Come and see, Lord. ³⁵ And Jesus himself was weeping.

¹⁷ Because of this it was necessary for him to be made like his brothers in every way, so that he might be a high priest full of mercy and keeping faith in everything to do with God, making offerings for the sins of the people.

¹⁵ For we have not a high priest who is not able to be touched by the feelings of our feeble flesh; but we have one who has been tested in all points as we ourselves are tested, but without sin.

² He is able to have feeling for those who have no knowledge and for those who are wandering from the true way, because he himself is feeble;

²³ But he gave her no answer. And his disciples came and said to him, Send her away, for she is crying after us.

³⁵ And at the end of the day, his disciples came to him and said, This place is waste land, and it is late: ³⁶ Send them away, so that they may go into the country and small towns round about, and get some food for themselves.

³ If I send them away to their houses with no food, they will be overcome by weariness on the way; and some of them have come from far.

¹² And the day went on; and the twelve came to him and said, Send these people away so that they may go into the towns and the country round about and get resting-places and food for themselves, for we are in a waste place.

⁴² Now a man came from Baal-shalishah with an offering of first-fruits for the man of God, twenty barley cakes and garden fruit in his bag. And he said, Give these to the people for food. ⁴³ But his servant said, How am I to put this before a hundred men? But he said, Give it to the people for food; for the Lord says, There will be food for them and some over. ⁴⁴ So he put it before them, and they had a meal and there was more than enough, as the Lord had said.

¹⁶ If I kept back the desire of the poor; if the widow's eye was looking for help to no purpose; ¹⁷ If I kept my food for myself, and did not give some of it to the child with no father;

²⁴ A man may give freely, and still his wealth will be increased; and another may keep back more than is right, but only comes to be in need.

² Give a part to seven or even to eight, because you have no knowledge of the evil which will be on the earth.

¹¹ And he made answer and said to them, He who has two coats, let him give to him who has not even one; and he who has food, let him do the same.

²⁹ Some were of the opinion that because Judas kept the money-bag Jesus said to him, Get the things we have need of for the feast; or, that he was to give something to the poor.

² How while they were undergoing every sort of trouble, and were in the greatest need, they took all the greater joy in being able to give freely to the needs of others. ³ For I give them witness, that as they were able, and even more than they were able, they gave from the impulse of their hearts,

⁷ Let every man do after the purpose of his heart; not giving with grief, or by force: for God takes pleasure in a ready giver. ⁸ And God is able to give you all grace in full measure; so that ever having enough of all things, you may be full of every good work:

²¹ Then Moses said, The people, among whom I am, are six hundred thousand men on foot; and you have said, I will give them flesh to be their food for a month. ²² Are flocks and herds to be put to death for them? or are all the fish in the sea to be got together so that they may be full? ²³ And the Lord said to Moses, Has the Lord's hand become short? Now you will see if my word comes true for you or not.

¹⁹ They said bitter words against God, saying, Is God able to make ready a table in the waste land? ²⁰ See, the rock was cut open by his power, so that the water came rushing out, and overflowing streams; is he able to give us bread? is he able to get meat for his people?

³³ And the disciples say to him, How may we get enough bread in a waste place, to give food to such a number of people? ³⁴ And Jesus says to them, How much bread have you? And they said, Seven cakes, and some small fishes.

⁹ Do you still not see, or keep in mind the five cakes of bread of the five thousand, and the number of baskets you took up?

³⁷ But he said to them in answer, Give them food yourselves. And they said to him, Are we to go and get bread for two hundred pence, and give it to them? ³⁸ And he said to them, How much bread have you? go and see. And when they had seen, they said, Five cakes of bread and two fishes.

⁴ And his disciples said in answer, How will it be possible to get enough bread for these men here in a waste place? ⁵ And he put the question, How much bread have you? And they said, Seven cakes.

¹³ But he said, Give them food yourselves. And they said, We have only five cakes of bread and two fishes, if we do not go and get food for all these people.

⁵ Lifting up his eyes, Jesus saw a great number of people coming to where he was, and he said to Philip, Where may we get bread for all these people? ⁶ This he said, testing him: for he had no doubt what he himself would do. ⁷ Philip made answer, Bread to the value of two hundred pence would not be enough even to give everyone a little. ⁸ One of his disciples, Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, said to Jesus, ⁹ There is a boy here with five barley cakes and two fishes: but what is that among such a number?

¹³ When you come into the town you will see him straight away, before he goes up to the high place for the feast: the people are waiting for his blessing before starting the feast, and after that the guests will take part in it. So go up now and you will see him.

³⁵ Then he gave an order to the people to be seated on the earth, ³⁶ And he took the seven cakes of bread and the fishes; and having given praise, he gave the broken bread to the disciples, and the disciples gave it to the people.

²⁶ And when they were taking food, Jesus took bread and, after blessing it, he gave the broken bread to the disciples and said, Take it; this is my body. ²⁷ And he took a cup and, having given praise, he gave it to them, saying,

³⁹ And he made them all be seated in groups on the green grass.

⁴¹ And he took the five cakes of bread and the two fishes and, looking up to heaven, he said words of blessing over them; and when the cakes were broken, he gave them to the disciples to put before the people; and he made division of the two fishes among them all.

³⁴ And looking up to heaven, he took a deep breath, and said to him, Ephphatha, that is, Be open.

⁶ And he made the people be seated on the earth: and he took the seven cakes and, having given praise, he gave the broken bread to his disciples to put before them; and they put it before the people. ⁷ And they had some small fishes; and blessing them he had them put before the people in the same way.

²² And while they were taking food, he took bread, and after blessing it, he gave the broken bread to them, and said, Take it: this is my body. ²³ And he took a cup, and when he had given praise, he gave it to them: and they all had a drink from it.

¹⁴ For there were about five thousand men. And he said to his disciples, Make them be seated in groups, about fifty to a group.

¹⁶ And he took the five cakes of bread and the two fishes and, looking up to heaven, he said words of blessing over them, and when they had been broken, he gave them to the disciples to give to the people.

¹⁹ And he took bread and, having given praise, he gave it to them when it had been broken, saying, This is my body, which is given for you: do this in memory of me.

³⁰ And when he was seated with them at table, he took the bread, and said words of blessing and, making division of it, he gave it to them.

¹⁰ Jesus said, Let the people be seated. Now there was much grass in that place. And those seated on the grass were about five thousand. ¹¹ Then Jesus took the cakes and having given praise to God, he gave them to the people who were seated, and the fishes in the same way, as much as they had need of.

²³ Some other boats, however, came from Tiberias near to the place where they had taken the bread after the Lord had given praise.

⁴¹ So they took away the stone. And Jesus, looking up to heaven, said, Father, I give praise to you for hearing me.

³⁵ And when he had said this and had taken bread, he gave praise to God before them all, and took a meal of the broken bread.

⁶ He who keeps the day, keeps it to the Lord; and he who takes food, takes it as to the Lord, for he gives praise to God; and he who does not take food, to the Lord he takes it not, and gives praise to God.

¹⁶ The cup of blessing which we take, does it not give us a part in the blood of Christ? and is not the broken bread a taking part in the body of Christ?

³¹ So then, if it is a question of food or drink, or any other thing, whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.

²⁴ And when it had been broken with an act of praise, he said, This is my body which is for you: do this in memory of me.

¹⁷ And whatever you do, in word or in act, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving praise to God the Father through him.

⁴ Because everything which God has made is good, and nothing is evil, if it is taken with praise: ⁵ For it is made holy by the word of God and by prayer.

⁸ And Moses said, The Lord will give you meat for your food at evening, and in the morning bread in full measure; for your outcry against the Lord has come to his ears: for what are we? your outcry is not against us but against the Lord.

¹² The outcry of the children of Israel has come to my ears: say to them now, At nightfall you will have meat for your food, and in the morning bread in full measure; and you will see that I am the Lord your God.

²⁶ When I take away your bread of life, ten women will be cooking bread in one oven, and your bread will be measured out by weight; you will have food but never enough.

¹² Then she said, By the life of the Lord your God, I have nothing but a little meal in my store, and a drop of oil in the bottle; and now I am getting two sticks together so that I may go in and make it ready for me and my son, so that we may have a meal before our death. ¹³ And Elijah said to her, Have no fear; go and do as you have said, but first make me a little cake of it and come and give it to me, and then make something for yourself and your son. ¹⁴ For this is the word of the Lord, the God of Israel: The store of meal will not come to an end, and the bottle will never be without oil, till the day when the Lord sends rain on the earth. ¹⁵ So she went and did as Elijah said; and she and he and her family had food for a long time. ¹⁶ The store of meal did not come to an end, and the bottle was never without oil, as the Lord had said by the mouth of Elijah.

¹ Now a certain woman, the wife of one of the sons of the prophets, came crying to Elisha and said, Your servant my husband is dead; and to your knowledge he was a worshipper of the Lord; but now, the creditor has come to take my two children as servants in payment of his debt. ² Then Elisha said to her, What am I to do for you? say now, what have you in the house? And she said, Your servant has nothing in the house but a pot of oil. ³ Then he said, Go out to all your neighbours and get vessels, a very great number of them. ⁴ Then go in, and, shutting the door on yourself and your sons, put oil into all these vessels, putting on one side the full ones. ⁵ So she went away, and when the door was shut on her and her sons, they took the vessels to her and she put oil into them. ⁶ And when all the vessels were full, she said to her son, Get me another vessel. And he said, There are no more. And the flow of oil was stopped. ⁷ So she came to the man of God and gave him word of what she had done. And he said, Go and get money for the oil and make payment of your debt, and let the rest be for the needs of yourself and your sons.

²⁵ The upright man has food to the full measure of his desire, but there will be no food for the stomach of evil-doers.

¹⁴ Then I said, Ah, Lord! see, my soul has never been unclean, and I have never taken as my food anything which has come to a natural death or has been broken by beasts, from the time when I was young even till now; no disgusting flesh has ever come into my mouth. ¹⁵ Then he said to me, See, I have given you cow's waste in place of man's waste, and you will make your bread ready on it. ¹⁶ And he said to me, Son of man, see, I will take away from Jerusalem her necessary bread: they will take their bread by weight and with care, measuring out their drinking-water with fear and wonder:

⁶ Much has been planted, but little got in; you take food, but have not enough; you take drink, but are not full; you are clothed, but no one is warm; and he who gets payment for his work, gets it to put it into a bag full of holes.

⁶ Happy are those whose heart's desire is for righteousness: for they will have their desire.

³³ And the disciples say to him, How may we get enough bread in a waste place, to give food to such a number of people?

⁸ And Jesus, seeing it, said, O you of little faith, why are you reasoning among yourselves, because you have no bread? ⁹ Do you still not see, or keep in mind the five cakes of bread of the five thousand, and the number of baskets you took up? ¹⁰ Or the seven cakes of bread of the four thousand, and the number of baskets you took up?

⁸ And they took the food, and had enough; and they took up seven baskets full of the broken bits. ⁹ And there were about four thousand people: and he sent them away.

¹⁶ And they said to one another, We have no bread. ¹⁷ And Jesus, hearing it, said to them, Why are you reasoning among yourselves because you have no bread? do you still not see, and is it still not clear to you? are your hearts so hard? ¹⁸ Having eyes, do you not see? and having ears, have you no hearing? and have you no memory? ¹⁹ When I made a division of the five cakes of bread among the five thousand, what number of baskets full of broken bits did you take up? They said to him, Twelve. ²⁰ And when the seven among the four thousand, what number of baskets full of broken bits did you take up? And they said to him, Seven. ²¹ And he said to them, Is it still not clear to you?

⁵³ Those who had no food he made full of good things; the men of wealth he sent away with nothing in their hands;

¹⁷ And they all took the food and had enough; and they took up of the broken bits which were over, twelve baskets full.

⁷ Philip made answer, Bread to the value of two hundred pence would not be enough even to give everyone a little.

¹¹ Then Jesus took the cakes and having given praise to God, he gave them to the people who were seated, and the fishes in the same way, as much as they had need of. ¹² And when they had had enough, Jesus said to his disciples, Take up the broken bits which are over, so that nothing may be wasted. ¹³ So they took them up: twelve baskets full of broken bits of the five cakes which were over after the people had had enough. ¹⁴ And when the people saw the sign which he had done, they said, Truly, this is the prophet who is to come into the world.

¹⁰ Jesus said, Let the people be seated. Now there was much grass in that place. And those seated on the grass were about five thousand.

⁴ But a number of those who gave hearing to the word had faith; and they were now about five thousand.

³⁴ And no one among them was in need; for everyone who had land or houses, exchanging them for money, took the price of them,

⁸ And God is able to give you all grace in full measure; so that ever having enough of all things, you may be full of every good work: ⁹ As it is said in the Writings, He has sent out far and wide, he has given to the poor; his righteousness is for ever. ¹⁰ And he who gives seed for putting into the field and bread for food, will take care of the growth of your seed, at the same time increasing the fruits of your righteousness; ¹¹ Your wealth being increased in everything, with a simple mind, causing praise to God through us.

¹⁹ And my God will give you all you have need of from the wealth of his glory in Christ Jesus.

³⁶ Then he went away from the people, and went into the house; and his disciples came to him, saying, Make clear to us the story of the evil plants in the field.

³⁹ And when he had sent the people away, he got into the boat, and came into the country of Magadan.

⁴⁵ And straight away he made his disciples get into the boat, and go before him to the other side to Beth-saida, while he himself sent the people away. ⁴⁶ And after he had sent them away, he went up into a mountain for prayer. ⁴⁷ And by evening, the boat was in the middle of the sea, and he by himself on the land. ⁴⁸ And seeing that they had trouble in getting their boat through the water, because the wind was against them, about the fourth watch of the night he came to them, walking on the sea; and he would have gone past them; ⁴⁹ But they, when they saw him walking on the sea, took him for a spirit, and gave a loud cry: ⁵⁰ For they all saw him, and were troubled. But straight away he said to them, Take heart, it is I, have no fear. ⁵¹ And he went to them into the boat, and the wind went down, and they were full of wonder in themselves;

¹⁵ Now when Jesus saw that the people were about to come and take him by force to make him a king, he went away again up the mountain by himself. ¹⁶ When evening came the disciples went down to the sea; ¹⁷ And they took a boat and went across the sea in the direction of Capernaum. By then it was dark and still Jesus had not come to them. ¹⁸ The sea was getting rough because of a strong wind which was blowing. ¹⁹ After they had gone three or four miles they saw Jesus walking on the sea and coming near to the boat; and they had great fear. ²⁰ But he said to them, It is I, have no fear. ²¹ Then they readily took him into the boat: and straight away the boat was at the land to which they were going.

⁶ But when you make your prayer, go into your private room, and, shutting the door, say a prayer to your Father in secret, and your Father, who sees in secret, will give you your reward.

³⁶ Then comes Jesus with them to a place named Gethsemane, and says to his disciples, Be seated here, while I go over there for prayer.

⁴⁶ And after he had sent them away, he went up into a mountain for prayer.

¹² And it came about in those days that he went out to the mountain for prayer; and he was all night in prayer to God.

²⁸ And about eight days after he had said these things, he took Peter and John and James with him and went up into the mountain for prayer.

¹⁵ Now when Jesus saw that the people were about to come and take him by force to make him a king, he went away again up the mountain by himself. ¹⁶ When evening came the disciples went down to the sea; ¹⁷ And they took a boat and went across the sea in the direction of Capernaum. By then it was dark and still Jesus had not come to them.

⁴ Then we will give all our time to prayer and the teaching of the word.

¹¹ O troubled one, storm-crushed, uncomforted! see, your stones will be framed in fair colours, and your bases will be sapphires.

²⁴ And there came up a great storm in the sea, so that the boat was covered with the waves: but he was sleeping.

⁴⁸ And seeing that they had trouble in getting their boat through the water, because the wind was against them, about the fourth watch of the night he came to them, walking on the sea; and he would have gone past them;

¹⁸ The sea was getting rough because of a strong wind which was blowing.

⁸ By whose hand the heavens were stretched out, and who is walking on the waves of the sea:

³ The rivers send up, O Lord, the rivers send up their voices; they send them up with a loud cry. ⁴ The Lord in heaven is stronger than the noise of great waters, yes, he is stronger than the great waves of the sea.

³ The arch of your house is based on the waters; you make the clouds your carriage; you go on the wings of the wind:

⁴³ But be certain of this, that if the master of the house had had knowledge of the time when the thief was coming, he would have been watching, and would not have let his house be broken into.

³⁸ And if he comes in the second division of the night or in the third, and they are watching for him, happy are those servants.

¹⁹ After they had gone three or four miles they saw Jesus walking on the sea and coming near to the boat; and they had great fear.

² And he had in his hand a little open book: and he put his right foot on the sea, and his left on the earth;

⁵ And the angel which I saw taking his position on the sea and on the earth, put up his right hand to heaven,

⁸ And the voice came to me again from heaven, saying, Go, take the book which is open in the hand of the angel who has his place on the sea and on the earth.

¹² And the woman saw that it was Saul, and she gave a loud cry, and said to Saul, Why have you made use of deceit? for you are Saul. ¹³ And the king said to her, Have no fear: what do you see? And the woman said to Saul, I see a god coming up out of the earth. ¹⁴ And he said to her, What is his form? And she said, It is an old man coming up covered with a robe. And Saul saw that it was Samuel, and with his face bent down to the earth he gave him honour.

¹⁴ Fear came on me and shaking, and my bones were full of trouble; ¹⁵ And a breath was moving over my face; the hair of my flesh became stiff: ¹⁶ Something was present before me, but I was not able to see it clearly; there was a form before my eyes: a quiet voice came to my ears, saying:

⁶ And his body was like the beryl, and his face had the look of a thunder-flame, and his eyes were like burning lights, and his arms and feet like the colour of polished brass, and the sound of his voice was like the sound of an army. ⁷ And I, Daniel, was the only one who saw the vision, for the men who were with me did not see it; but a great shaking came on them and they went in flight to take cover. ⁸ So I was by myself, and I saw this great vision, and all my strength went from me; and the colour went from my face. ⁹ But the sound of his words came to my ears, and on hearing his voice I went into a deep sleep with my face to the earth. ¹⁰ Then a hand gave me a touch, awaking me, and putting me on my knees and my hands. ¹¹ And he said to me, O Daniel, you man dearly loved, take in the sense of the words I say to you and get up on to your feet: for to you I am now sent; and when he had said this to me I got on to my feet, shaking with fear. ¹² Then he said to me, Have no fear, Daniel; for from the first day when you gave your heart to getting wisdom and making yourself poor in spirit before your God, your words have come to his ears: and I have come because of your words.

⁴⁹ But they, when they saw him walking on the sea, took him for a spirit, and gave a loud cry: ⁵⁰ For they all saw him, and were troubled. But straight away he said to them, Take heart, it is I, have no fear.

¹¹ And he saw an angel of the Lord in his place on the right side of the altar. ¹² And Zacharias was troubled when he saw him, and fear came on him.

⁵ And while their faces were bent down to the earth in fear, these said to them, Why are you looking for the living among the dead?

³⁷ But they were full of fear, being of the opinion that they were seeing a spirit.

⁴⁵ Then he made the holy Writings clear to their minds.

¹⁵ And they said to her, You are off your head. But still she said, with decision, that it was so. And they said, It is his angel.

¹⁷ And when I saw him, I went down on my face at his feet as one dead. And he put his right hand on me, saying, Have no fear; I am the first and the last and the Living one;

⁴ Whose purpose and work was it? His who sent out the generations from the start. I the Lord, the first, and with the last, I am he.

¹⁰ Have no fear, for I am with you; do not be looking about in trouble, for I am your God; I will give you strength, yes, I will be your helper; yes, my true right hand will be your support.

¹⁴ Have no fear, you worm Jacob, and you men of Israel; I will be your helper, says the Lord, even he who takes up your cause, the Holy One of Israel.

¹² I, even I, am your comforter: are you so poor in heart as to be in fear of man who will come to an end, and of the son of man who will be like grass?

² And they took to him a man stretched on a bed who had no power of moving; and Jesus, seeing their faith, said to the man who was ill, Son, take heart; you have forgiveness for your sins.

⁷ And Jesus came and put his hand on them and said, Get up and have no fear.

¹⁰ Then said Jesus to them, Have no fear: go and give word to my brothers to go into Galilee, and there they will see me.

¹³ But the angel said, Have no fear, Zacharias, for your prayer has come to the ears of God, and your wife Elisabeth will have a son, and his name will be John.

³⁰ And the angel said to her, Have no fear, Mary, for you have God's approval.

¹⁰ And the angel said, Have no fear; for truly, I give you good news of great joy which will be for all the people:

³⁸ And he said to them, Why are you troubled, and why are your hearts full of doubt? ³⁹ See; my hands and my feet: it is I myself; put your hands on me and make certain; for a spirit has not flesh and bones as you see that I have.

²⁰ But he said to them, It is I, have no fear.

¹ Let not your heart be troubled: have faith in God and have faith in me. ² In my Father's house are rooms enough; if it was not so, would I have said that I am going to make ready a place for you? ³ And if I go and make ready a place for you, I will come back again and will take you to be with me, so that you may be where I am.

³³ I have said all these things to you so that in me you may have peace. In the world you have trouble: but take heart! I have overcome the world.

¹¹ And the night after, the Lord came to his side and said, Be of good heart, for as you have been witnessing for me in Jerusalem, so will you be my witness in Rome.

¹⁷ And when I saw him, I went down on my face at his feet as one dead. And he put his right hand on me, saying, Have no fear; I am the first and the last and the Living one; ¹⁸ And I was dead, and see, I am living for ever, and I have the keys of death and of Hell.

²⁷ Then Peter said to him, See, we have given up everything and have come after you; what then will we have?

³³ But Peter made answer and said to him, Though all may be turned away from you, I will never be turned away. ³⁴ Jesus said to him, Truly I say to you that this night, before the hour of the cock's cry, you will say three times that you have no knowledge of me. ³⁵ Peter says to him, Even if I am put to death with you, I will not be false to you. So said all the disciples.

³¹ But he said with passion, If I have to be put to death with you, I will not be false to you. And they all said the same.

³¹ Simon, Simon, Satan has made a request to have you, so that he may put you to the test as grain is tested: ³² But I have made prayer for you, that your faith may not go from you: and when you are turned again, make your brothers strong. ³³ And he said to him, Lord, I am ready to go with you to prison and to death. ³⁴ And he said, I say to you, Peter, before the cock's second cry today, you will say three times that you have no knowledge of me.

⁴⁹ And when those who were with him saw what was coming, they said, Lord, may we not make use of our swords? ⁵⁰ And one of them gave a blow to the servant of the high priest, cutting off his right ear.

⁶⁸ Then Simon Peter gave this answer: Lord, to whom are we to go? you have the words of eternal life;

³⁶ Simon Peter said to him, Lord, where are you going? Jesus said in answer, Where I am going you may not come with me now, but you will come later. ³⁷ Peter said to him, Why may I not come with you even now? I will give up my life for you. ³⁸ Jesus said in answer, Will you give up your life for me? Truly I say to you, Before the cry of the cock you will have said three times that you are not my disciple.

³ But I say to every one of you, through the grace given to me, not to have an over-high opinion of himself, but to have wise thoughts, as God has given to every one a measure of faith.

²⁰ And he says to them, Because of your little faith: for truly I say to you, If you have faith as a grain of mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, Be moved from this place to that; and it will be moved; and nothing will be impossible to you.

²¹ And Jesus in answer said to them, Truly I say to you, If you have faith, without doubting, not only may you do what has been done to the fig-tree, but even if you say to this mountain, Be taken up and put into the sea, it will be done.

²³ And Jesus said to him, If you are able! All things are possible to him who has faith.

²² And Jesus, answering, said to them, Have God's faith. ²³ Truly I say to you, Whoever says to this mountain, Be taken up and be put into the sea; and has no doubt in his heart, but has faith that what he says will come about, he will have his desire.

⁶ And the Lord said, If your faith was only as great as a grain of mustard seed, you might say to this tree, Be rooted up and planted in the sea; and it would be done.

¹⁶ And his name, through faith in his name, has made this man strong, whom you see and have knowledge of: yes, the faith which is through him has made him well, before you all.

¹⁹ And not being feeble in faith though his body seemed to him little better than dead he being about a hundred years old and Sarah was no longer able to have children:

¹³ I am able to do all things through him who gives me strength.

¹⁵ Now the servant of the man of God, having got up early and gone out, saw an army with horses and carriages of war all round the town. And the servant said to him, O my master, what are we to do?

⁷ Come to me, Lord; keep me safe, O my God; for you have given all my haters blows on their face-bones; the teeth of the evil-doers have been broken by you.

¹ To the chief music-maker; put to Shoshannim. Of David. Be my saviour, O God; because the waters have come in, even to my neck. ² My feet are deep in the soft earth, where there is no support; I have come into deep waters, the waves are flowing over me.

²⁷ They are turned here and there, rolling like a man who is full of wine; and all their wisdom comes to nothing. ²⁸ Then they send up their cry to the Lord in their sorrow, and he gives them salvation out of all their troubles. ²⁹ He makes the storm into a calm, so that the waves are at peace. ³⁰ Then they are glad, because the sea is quiet, and he takes them to the harbour of their desire.

³ The nets of death were round me, and the pains of the underworld had me in their grip; I was full of trouble and sorrow. ⁴ Then I made my prayer to the Lord, saying, O Lord, take my soul out of trouble.

⁵⁴ Waters were flowing over my head; I said, I am cut off. ⁵⁵ I was making prayer to your name, O Lord, out of the lowest prison. ⁵⁶ My voice came to you; let not your ear be shut to my breathing, to my cry. ⁵⁷ You came near in the day when I made my prayer to you: you said, Have no fear.

² In my trouble I was crying to the Lord, and he gave me an answer; out of the deepest underworld I sent up a cry, and you gave ear to my voice. ³ For you have put me down into the deep, into the heart of the sea; and the river was round about me; all your waves and your rolling waters went over me. ⁴ And I said, I have been sent away from before your eyes; how may I ever again see your holy Temple? ⁵ The waters were circling round me, even to the neck; the deep was about me; the sea-grass was twisted round my head. ⁶ I went down to the bases of the mountains; as for the earth, her walls were about me for ever: but you have taken up my life from the underworld, O Lord my God. ⁷ When my soul in me was overcome, I kept the memory of the Lord: and my prayer came in to you, into your holy Temple.

²⁴ And there came up a great storm in the sea, so that the boat was covered with the waves: but he was sleeping. ²⁵ And they came to him, and, awaking him, said, Help, Lord; destruction is near.

⁶⁹ Now Peter was seated in the open square outside the house: and a servant-girl came to him, saying, You were with Jesus the Galilaean. ⁷⁰ But he said before them all that it was false, saying, I have no knowledge of what you say. ⁷¹ And when he had gone out into the doorway, another saw him and says to those who were there, This man was with Jesus the Nazarene. ⁷² And again he said with an oath, I have no knowledge of the man. ⁷³ And after a little time those who were near came and said to Peter, Truly you are one of them; because your talk is witness against you. ⁷⁴ Then with curses and oaths he said, I have no knowledge of the man. And straight away there came the cry of a cock. ⁷⁵ And the word of Jesus came back to Peter, when he said, Before the hour of the cock's cry, you will say three times that you have no knowledge of me. And he went out, weeping bitterly.

³⁸ Keep watch with prayer, so that you may not be put to the test; the spirit truly is ready, but the flesh is feeble.

⁶⁶ And while Peter was down in the open square of the building, one of the servant-girls of the high priest came; ⁶⁷ And seeing Peter warming himself by the fire, she gave him a look, and said, You were with this Nazarene, even Jesus. ⁶⁸ But he said, I have no knowledge of him, or of what you are saying: and he went out into the doorway; and there came the cry of a cock. ⁶⁹ And the girl saw him, and said again to those who were near, This is one of them. ⁷⁰ But again he said it was not so. And after a little time, again those who were near said to Peter, Truly you are one of them; for you are a Galilaean. ⁷¹ But, with curses and oaths, he said, I have no knowledge of the man about whom you are talking. ⁷² And in the same minute, the cock gave a second cry. And it came to Peter's mind how Jesus had said to him, Before the cock's second cry, you will say three times that you have no knowledge of me. And at this thought he was overcome with weeping.

⁵⁴ And they made him a prisoner and took him away to the house of the high priest. But Peter went after them at a distance. ⁵⁵ And a fire was lighted in the middle of the open square, and they were seated together, and Peter was among them. ⁵⁶ And a certain woman-servant, seeing him in the light of the fire, and looking at him with attention, said, This man was with him. ⁵⁷ But he said, Woman, it is not true; I have no knowledge of him. ⁵⁸ And after a little time, another saw him and said, You are one of them; and he said, Man, I am not. ⁵⁹ And after about an hour, another man said, with decision, Certainly this man was with him, for he is a Galilaean. ⁶⁰ And Peter said, Man, I have no knowledge of these things of which you are talking. And straight away, while he was saying these words, there came the cry of a cock. ⁶¹ And the Lord, turning, gave Peter a look. And the words of the Lord came to Peter's mind, how he had said, This night, before the hour of the cock's cry, you will be false to me three times.

²⁵ But Simon Peter was still there warming himself by the fire. They said to him, Are you not one of his disciples? He said, No, I am not. ²⁶ One of the servants of the high priest, a relation of him whose ear had been cut off by Peter, said, Did I not see you with him in the garden? ²⁷ Then again Peter said, No. And straight away a cock gave its cry.

⁷ And because the revelations were so very great, in order that I might not be overmuch lifted up, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, one sent from Satan to give me pain. ⁸ And about this thing I made request to the Lord three times that it might be taken away from me. ⁹ And he said to me, My grace is enough for you, for my power is made complete in what is feeble. Most gladly, then, will I take pride in my feeble body, so that the power of Christ may be on me. ¹⁰ So I take pleasure in being feeble, in unkind words, in needs, in cruel attacks, in troubles, on account of Christ: for when I am feeble, then am I strong.

¹⁶ At my first meeting with my judges, no one took my part, but all went away from me. May it not be put to their account. ¹⁷ But the Lord was by my side and gave me strength; so that through me the news might be given out in full measure, and all the Gentiles might give ear: and I was taken out of the mouth of the lion.

¹⁴ And Abraham gave that place the name Yahweh-yireh: as it is said to this day, In the mountain the Lord is seen.

³⁶ For the Lord will be judge of his people, he will have pity for his servants; when he sees that their power is gone, there is no one, shut up or free.

⁷ Even when trouble is round me, you will give me life; your hand will be stretched out against the wrath of my haters, and your right hand will be my salvation.

¹² He who made the arm of his glory go at the right hand of Moses, by whom the waters were parted before them, to make himself an eternal name;

³⁰ But if God gives such clothing to the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is put into the oven, will he not much more give you clothing, O you of little faith?

²⁶ And he said to them, Why are you full of fear, O you of little faith? Then he got up and gave orders to the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm.

⁸ And Jesus, seeing it, said, O you of little faith, why are you reasoning among yourselves, because you have no bread?

³¹ And he came and took her by the hand, lifting her up; and she became well, and took care of their needs.

⁴¹ And being moved with pity, he put out his hand, and touching him said to him, It is my pleasure; be made clean.

⁴¹ And taking her by the hand, he said to her, Talitha cumi, which is, My child, I say to you, Get up.

²³ Truly I say to you, Whoever says to this mountain, Be taken up and be put into the sea; and has no doubt in his heart, but has faith that what he says will come about, he will have his desire.

⁷ But go, say to his disciples and to Peter, He goes before you into Galilee: there you will see him, as he said to you.

³¹ Simon, Simon, Satan has made a request to have you, so that he may put you to the test as grain is tested: ³² But I have made prayer for you, that your faith may not go from you: and when you are turned again, make your brothers strong.

³⁴ And they said to them, The Lord has truly come back to life again, and Simon has seen him.

³⁰ While your hand is stretched out to do works of mercy; so that signs and wonders may be done through the name of your holy servant Jesus.

¹⁸ Who without reason for hope, in faith went on hoping, so that he became the father of a number of nations, as it had been said, So will your seed be. ¹⁹ And not being feeble in faith though his body seemed to him little better than dead he being about a hundred years old and Sarah was no longer able to have children: ²⁰ Still, he did not give up faith in the undertaking of God, but was made strong by faith, giving glory to God,

⁸ It is my desire, then, that in every place men may give themselves to prayer, lifting up holy hands, without wrath or argument.

⁶ Let him make his request in faith, doubting nothing; for he who has doubt in his heart is like the waves of the sea, which are troubled by the driving of the wind. ⁷ Let it not seem to such a man that he will get anything from the Lord; ⁸ For there is a division in his mind, and he is uncertain in all his ways.

⁵ Who, by the power of God are kept, through faith, for that salvation, which will be seen at the last day.

⁴¹ And their fear was great, and they said one to another, Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea do his orders?

⁵¹ And he went to them into the boat, and the wind went down, and they were full of wonder in themselves;

²¹ Then they readily took him into the boat: and straight away the boat was at the land to which they were going.

⁷ I will make clear the Lord's decision: he has said to me, You are my son, this day have I given you being.

²⁵ He made answer and said, Look! I see four men loose, walking in the middle of the fire, and they are not damaged; and the form of the fourth is like a son of the gods.

³ And the Evil One came and said to him, If you are the Son of God, give the word for these stones to become bread.

²⁵ But she came and gave him worship, saying, Help, Lord.

¹⁶ And Simon Peter made answer and said, You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.

⁵ While he was still talking, a bright cloud came over them: and a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is my dearly loved Son, with whom I am well pleased; give ear to him.

⁶³ But Jesus said not a word. And the high priest said to him, I put you on oath, by the living God, that you will say to us if you are the Christ, the Son of God.

⁴³ He put his faith in God; let God be his saviour now, if he will have him; for he said, I am the Son of God.

⁵⁴ Now the captain and those who were with him watching Jesus, when they saw the earth-shock and the things which were done, were in great fear and said, Truly this was a son of God.

⁹ And on the way, Jesus came to them, saying, Be glad. And they came and put their hands on his feet, and gave him worship.

¹⁷ And when they saw him they gave him worship: but some were in doubt.

¹ The first words of the good news of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.

⁶¹ But he kept quiet and said nothing. Again the high priest questioning him said, Are you the Christ, the son of the Holy One?

³⁹ And when the captain, who was near, saw how he gave up his spirit, he said, Truly this man was a son of God.

⁴¹ And evil spirits came out of a number of them, crying out and saying, You are the Son of God. But he gave them sharp orders not to say a word, because they had knowledge that he was the Christ.

²⁸ And when he saw Jesus, he gave a loud cry and went down on the earth before him and in a loud voice said, What have I to do with you, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? Do not be cruel to me.

⁵² And they gave him worship and went back to Jerusalem with great joy.

⁴⁹ Nathanael said to him, Rabbi, you are the Son of God, you are King of Israel!

⁶⁹ And we have faith and are certain that you are the Holy One of God.

³⁵ It came to the ears of Jesus that they had put him out, and meeting him he said, Have you faith in the Son of man? ³⁶ He said in answer, And who is he, Lord? Say, so that I may have faith in him. ³⁷ Jesus said to him, You have seen him; it is he who is talking to you. ³⁸ And he said, Lord, I have faith. And he gave him worship.

²⁷ She said to him, Yes, Lord: my faith is that you are the Christ, the Son of God, who was to come into the world.

¹ Jesus said these things; then, lifting his eyes to heaven, he said, Father, the time has now come; give glory to your Son, so that the Son may give glory to you:

⁷ And the Jews made answer, We have a law, and by that law it is right for him to be put to death because he said he was the Son of God.

³⁶ And while they were going on their way, they came to some water, and the Ethiopian said, See, here is water; why may I not have baptism?

⁴ But was marked out as Son of God in power by the Holy Spirit through the coming to life again of the dead; Jesus Christ our Lord,

⁵³ And when they had gone across, they came to Gennesaret, and got their boat to land. ⁵⁴ And when they had got out of the boat, the people quickly had news of him, ⁵⁵ And went running through all the country round about, and took on their beds those who were ill, to where it was said that he was. ⁵⁶ And wherever he went, into small towns, or great towns, or into the country, they took those who were ill into the market-places, requesting him that they might put their hands even on the edge of his robe: and all those who did so were made well.

¹ Now it came about that while the people came pushing to be near him, and to have knowledge of the word of God, he was by a wide stretch of water named Gennesaret;

²⁴ So when the people saw that Jesus was not there, or his disciples, they got into those boats and went over to Capernaum looking for Jesus. ²⁵ And when they came across him on the other side of the sea they said, Rabbi, when did you come here?

²⁴ And news of him went out through all Syria; and they took to him all who were ill with different diseases and pains, those having evil spirits and those who were off their heads, and those who had no power of moving. And he made them well. ²⁵ And there went after him great numbers from Galilee and Decapolis and Jerusalem and Judaea and from the other side of Jordan.

²⁸ And news of him went out quickly everywhere into all parts of Galilee round about. ²⁹ And when they came out of the Synagogue, they went into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John. ³⁰ Now Simon's wife's mother was ill, with a burning heat; and they gave him word of her: ³¹ And he came and took her by the hand, lifting her up; and she became well, and took care of their needs. ³² And in the evening, at sundown, they took to him all who were diseased, and those who had evil spirits. ³³ And all the town had come together at the door. ³⁴ And a number, who were ill with different diseases, he made well, and sent out evil spirits; but he did not let the evil spirits say anything, because they had knowledge of him.

¹ And when he came into Capernaum again after some days, the news went about that he was in the house. ² And a great number had come together, so that there was no longer room for them, no, not even about the door: and he gave them teaching. ³ And four men came to him with one on a bed who had no power of moving. ⁴ And when they were unable to get near him because of all the people, they got the roof uncovered where he was: and when it was broken up, they let down the bed on which the man was. ⁵ And Jesus, seeing their faith, said to him, Son, you have forgiveness for your sins. ⁶ But there were certain of the scribes seated there, and reasoning in their hearts, ⁷ Why does this man say such things? he has no respect for God: from whom does forgiveness come but from God only? ⁸ And Jesus, having knowledge in his spirit of their thoughts, said to them, Why are you reasoning about these things in your hearts? ⁹ Which is the simpler, to say to a man who is ill, You have forgiveness for your sins, or, Get up, take up your bed, and go? ¹⁰ But so that you may see that the Son of man has authority for the forgiveness of sins on earth, he said to the man, ¹¹ I say to you, Get up, take up your bed, and go to your house. ¹² And he got up, and straight away took up the bed and went out before them all, so that they were all full of wonder, and gave glory to God, saying, We have never seen anything like this.

⁸ And from Jerusalem, and from Idumaea, and the other side of Jordan, and the country about Tyre and Sidon, a great number, hearing what great things he did, came to him. ⁹ And he made a request to his disciples to have a little boat ready for him, so that he might not be crushed by the people; ¹⁰ For he had made such a great number well that all those who were diseased were falling down before him for the purpose of touching him.

⁵⁵ And went running through all the country round about, and took on their beds those who were ill, to where it was said that he was.

³³ And round the skirts of it put fruits in blue and purple and red, with bells of gold between; ³⁴ A gold bell and a fruit in turn all round the skirts of the robe. ³⁵ Aaron is to put it on for his holy work; and the sound of it will be clear, when he goes into the holy place before the Lord, and when he comes out, keeping him safe from death. ³⁶ You are to make a plate of the best gold, cutting on it, as on a stamp, these words: HOLY TO THE LORD. ³⁷ Put a blue cord on it and put it on the front of the twisted head-dress: ³⁸ And it will be over Aaron's brow, so that Aaron will be responsible for any error in all the holy offerings made by the children of Israel; it will be on his brow at all times, so that their offerings may be pleasing to the Lord. ³⁹ The coat is to be made of the best linen, worked in squares; and you are to make a head-dress of linen, and a linen band worked in needlework. ⁴⁰ And for Aaron's sons you are to make coats, and bands, and head-dresses, so that they may be clothed with glory and honour. ⁴¹ These you are to put on Aaron, your brother, and on his sons, putting oil on them, separating them and making them holy, to do the work of priests to me. ⁴² And you are to make them linen trousers, covering their bodies from the middle to the knee; ⁴³ Aaron and his sons are to put these on whenever they go into the Tent of meeting or come near the altar, when they are doing the work of the holy place, so that they may be free from any sin causing death: this is to be an order for him and his seed after him for ever.

³⁸ Say to the children of Israel that through all their generations they are to put on the edges of their robes an ornament of twisted threads, and in every ornament a blue cord; ³⁹ So that, looking on these ornaments, you may keep in mind the orders of the Lord and do them; and not be guided by the desires of your hearts and eyes, through which you have been untrue to me:

²⁰ And a woman, who for twelve years had had a flow of blood, came after him, and put her hand on the edge of his robe: ²¹ Because, she said to herself, if I may but put my hand on his robe, I will be made well.

¹⁰ For he had made such a great number well that all those who were diseased were falling down before him for the purpose of touching him.

¹⁹ And all the people were desiring to be touched by him, for power came from him and made them all well.

³⁷ Whatever the Father gives to me will come to me; and I will not send away anyone who comes to me.

²³ If a child is given circumcision on the Sabbath so that the law of Moses may not be broken, why are you angry with me because I made a man completely well on the Sabbath?

⁹ If we are questioned today about a good work done to a man who was ill, as to how he has been made well, ¹⁰ Take note, all of you, and all the people of Israel, that in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you put to death on the cross, whom God gave back from the dead, even through him is this man now before you completely well.

¹⁴ And, seeing that the man who had been made well was there with them, they were not able to say anything against it. ¹⁵ But when they had given them orders to go out of the Sanhedrin, they had a discussion among themselves, ¹⁶ Saying, What are we to do with these men? for certainly it is clear to all who are living in Jerusalem that a most important sign has been done by them, and it is not possible to say that it is not so.

¹¹ And God did special works of power by the hands of Paul: ¹² So that bits of linen and clothing from his body were taken to people who were ill, and their diseases went away from them and the evil spirits went out.
