⁶ The one regarding the day, regards it to the Lord; the one eating, eats to the Lord, for he gives thanks to God; and the one not eating, does not eat to the Lord and gives thanks to God.

⁴ For every creature of God is good, and nothing is to be rejected, being received with thanksgiving, ⁵ for it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.

¹⁸ And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades not will prevail against it.

²⁵ Truly I say to you that never will I drink of the fruit of the vine again, until that day when I drink it anew in the kingdom of God.”

¹⁶ For I say to you that never again will I eat thereof, until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God.”

¹⁷ And having received the cup, having given thanks, He said, “Take this and divide it among yourselves.

²⁰ and the cup likewise, after having supped, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in My blood, which is being poured out for you.

³⁰ And it came to pass in His reclining with them, having taken the bread, He blessed it; and having broken it, He began giving it to them.

⁵¹ I am the living bread, having come down from heaven. If anyone shall have eaten of this bread, he will live to the age. And also, the bread that I will give for the life of the world is My flesh.”

⁴ and all drank the same spiritual drink. For they were drinking from the spiritual rock accompanying them, and the rock was Christ.

¹⁶ Is not the cup of blessing that we bless a participation in the blood of Christ? Is not the bread that we break a participation in the body of Christ?

²³ For I received from the Lord that which also I delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus in the night in which He was betrayed, took bread, ²⁴ and having given thanks, He broke it and said, “This is My body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of Me.” ²⁵ Likewise also the cup after having supped, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in My blood; do this, as often as you might drink it, in remembrance of Me.” ²⁶ For as often as you may eat this bread and may drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until He should come. ²⁷ Therefore whoever should eat the bread or should drink the cup of the Lord unworthily will be guilty of the body and of the blood of the Lord. ²⁸ But let a man examine himself, and in this manner let him eat of the bread, and let him drink of the cup. ²⁹ For the one eating and drinking not discerning the body, eats and drinks judgment on himself.

⁴ the One having given Himself for our sins, so that He might deliver us out of the evil age having come presently, according to the will our God and Father,

²⁵ Now Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia and corresponds to the present Jerusalem, for she is in slavery with her children.

² and walk in love, just as Christ also loved us and gave Himself up for us as an offering and a sacrifice to God, into an aroma of a sweet smell.

¹⁸ Give thanks in everything, for this is the will of God toward you in Christ Jesus.

¹⁴ who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from all lawlessness and might purify to Himself a people specially chosen, zealous of good works.

²⁴ Who Himself bore our sins in His body on the tree, so that, having been dead to sins, we might live to righteousness. “By whose scourge marks you have been healed.”

²⁸ For this is My blood of the covenant, being poured out for many, for forgiveness of sins.

¹⁶ Is not the cup of blessing that we bless a participation in the blood of Christ? Is not the bread that we break a participation in the body of Christ? ¹⁷ Because there is one loaf, we the many are one body; for we all partake of the one loaf. ¹⁸ Consider Israel according to flesh: Are not those eating the sacrifices fellow partakers in the altar? ¹⁹ Then what do I mean? That what is sacrificed to an idol is anything, or that an idol is anything? ²⁰ Rather, that what the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons and not to God. And I do not want you to be fellow partakers with demons. ²¹ You are not able to drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons. You are not able to partake of the table of the Lord and of the table of demons.

²⁵ Likewise also the cup after having supped, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in My blood; do this, as often as you might drink it, in remembrance of Me.”

⁶ who also has made us competent as ministers of a new covenant, not of the letter, but of the Spirit. For the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.

⁶ But now He has obtained a more excellent ministry, as much as He is also the mediator of a better covenant, which has been enacted upon better promises. ⁷ For if what was first had been faultless, no place would have been sought for a second. ⁸ For finding fault with them, He says: “Behold, the days are coming, says the Lord, and I will ratify a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah, ⁹ not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers, in the day of My having taken hold of their hand, to lead them out of the land of Egypt, because they did not continue in My covenant, and I disregarded them, says the Lord. ¹⁰ For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord, putting My Laws into their mind, and I will inscribe them upon their hearts; and I will be to them God, and they will be to Me for a people. ¹¹ And they shall not teach, each his neighbor, and each his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ because all will know Me, from the least of them to the greatest, ¹² because I will be merciful toward their iniquities, and I shall remember their sins no more. ¹³ In saying, “new,” He has made obsolete the first; and that which is growing old and aging is near vanishing.

¹⁵ And because of this, He is the mediator of a new covenant, so that, death having taken place for redemption of the transgressions under the first covenant, those having been called might receive the promise of the eternal inheritance.

¹⁷ For a will is affirmed after death, since it is not in force at the time when the one having made it is living,

²⁴ and to Jesus the mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkling of blood, speaking better things than that of Abel.

²⁰ Now may the God of peace, having brought out from the dead the great Shepherd of the sheep, our Lord Jesus, by the blood of the eternal covenant,

²¹ And as they were eating, He said to them, “Truly I say to you that one of you will betray Me.” ²² And being grieved exceedingly, they began, each one, to say to Him, “Is it I, Lord?” ²³ And answering He said, “The one having dipped the hand in the dish with Me, he will betray Me. ²⁴ Indeed the Son of Man goes as it has been written about Him; but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed. It would be better for him if that man had not been born.”

¹⁸ And as they were reclining and were eating, Jesus said, “Truly I say to you that one of you who is eating with Me will betray Me.” ¹⁹ They began to be grieved and to say to Him one by one, “Surely not I?” ²⁰ And He said to them, “It is one of the Twelve, the one dipping in the bowl with Me. ²¹ For indeed the Son of Man goes as it has been written concerning Him; but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed; it were better for him if that man had not been born.”

¹⁸ I speak not about all of you. I know whom I chose; but it is that the Scripture may be fulfilled: ‘The one eating My bread has lifted up his heel against Me.’ ¹⁹ I am telling you from this time, before it comes to pass, so that when it comes to pass you should believe that I am He.

²¹ Having said these things, Jesus was troubled in spirit, and He testified and said, “Truly, truly, I say to you that one of you will betray Me.” ²² The disciples began to look upon one another, being uncertain of whom He is speaking.

²⁶ Then Jesus answers, “It is he to whom I will dip the morsel and will give him.” Then having dipped the morsel, He takes it and gives it to Judas, son of Simon Iscariot.

²⁴ Indeed the Son of Man goes as it has been written about Him; but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed. It would be better for him if that man had not been born.”

⁵³ Or do you think that I am not able to call upon My Father, and He will furnish to Me presently more than twelve legions of angels? ⁵⁴ How then should the Scriptures be fulfilled, that it must be so?”

⁵ And having cast down the pieces of silver into the temple, he withdrew, and having gone away, hanged himself.

²¹ For indeed the Son of Man goes as it has been written concerning Him; but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed; it were better for him if that man had not been born.”

²⁵ And He said to them, “O foolish and slow of heart to believe in all that the prophets have spoken. 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 interpreted to them the things concerning Himself in all the Scriptures.

⁴⁶ And He said to them, “Thus it has been written: The Christ was to suffer and to rise out from the dead on the third day,

¹² When I was with them, I was keeping them in Your name, which You have given Me. And I guarded them, and none of them has perished, except the son of destruction, that the Scripture might be fulfilled.

¹⁶ “Men, brothers, it was necessary for the Scripture to have been fulfilled which the Holy Spirit spoke beforehand by the mouth of David concerning Judas, the one having become guide to those having arrested Jesus. ¹⁷ For he was numbered with us, and was allotted a share of this ministry.” ¹⁸ (Then indeed this man acquired a field out of the reward of unrighteousness, and having fallen headlong, he burst open in the middle and all his intestines gushed out. ¹⁹ And it became known to all those dwelling in Jerusalem, so that that field was called in their own language Akeldama, that is, Field of Blood.) ²⁰ “For it has been written in the book of Psalms: ‘Let his homestead become desolate, and let there be not one dwelling in it,’ and, ‘Let another take his position.’ ²¹ Therefore it behooves the men having accompanied us during all the time that the Lord Jesus came in and went out among us, ²² having begun from the baptism of John until the day in which He was taken up from us, one of these, to become a witness with us of His resurrection.” ²³ And they put forward two, Joseph called Barsabbas, who was called Justus, and Matthias. ²⁴ And having prayed, they said, “You Lord, knower of the hearts of all, show which one of these two You have chosen ²⁵ to take the place of this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas turned aside to go to the own place.”

²³ Him delivered up by the determinate plan and foreknowledge of God, you put to death, having crucified Him by lawless hands,

²⁵ having spoken by the Holy Spirit through the mouth of Your servant, our father David: ‘Why did the Gentiles rage, and the peoples devise vain things? ²⁶ The kings of the earth took their stand, and the rulers were gathered together against the Lord and against His Christ.’ ²⁷ For in truth, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and the peoples of Israel, were gathered together in this city against Your holy servant Jesus whom You anointed, ²⁸ to do whatever Your hand and Your purpose had determined beforehand to happen.

²⁷ For those dwelling in Jerusalem and their rulers, not having known Him and the voices of the prophets that are being read on every Sabbath, having condemned Him, they fulfilled them. ²⁸ And having found no cause of death, they begged Pilate to put Him to death.

²² Therefore having obtained help from God unto this day, I have stood bearing witness both to small and to great, saying nothing other than what both the prophets and Moses said was about to happen: ²³ that Christ would suffer. As first through resurrection from the dead, He is about to preach light both to our people and to the Gentiles.”

³ For I delivered to you in the foremost what also I received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, ⁴ and that He was buried, and that He was raised the third day according to the Scriptures,

¹¹ inquiring into what or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ in them was signifying, testifying beforehand of the sufferings of Christ and the glories after these,

²² And being grieved exceedingly, they began, each one, to say to Him, “Is it I, Lord?”

¹⁹ They began to be grieved and to say to Him one by one, “Surely not I?”

²² The disciples began to look upon one another, being uncertain of whom He is speaking. ²³ There was reclining one of His disciples whom Jesus loved in the bosom of Jesus. ²⁴ Therefore Simon Peter motions to him, to ask who it is about whom He is speaking? ²⁵ Then he thus having leaned on the breast of Jesus, says to Him, “Lord, who is it?”

²⁰ Then the mother of the sons of Zebedee came to Him with her sons, kneeling down and asking something from Him. ²¹ And He said to her, “What do you desire?” She says to Him, “Say that these two sons of mine might sit, one on Your right hand and one on Your left hand, in Your kingdom.” ²² And Jesus answering, said, “You do not know what you ask for. Are you able to drink the cup which I am about to drink?” They say to Him, “We are able.” ²³ He says to them, “Indeed you will drink My cup, but to sit on My right hand and on My left, this is not Mine to give, but for whom it has been prepared by My Father.” ²⁴ And the ten having heard this, were indignant about the two brothers.

³⁴ And they were silent, for along the road they had been discussing with one another which was greatest.

³⁷ And they said to Him, “Grant to us that we might sit, one of us at Your right hand and one at Your left hand, in Your glory.” ³⁸ And Jesus said to them, “You do not know what you ask. Are you able to drink the cup that I drink, and to be baptized with the baptism with which I am baptized?” ³⁹ And they said to Him, “We are able.” And Jesus said to them, “You will drink the cup that I drink, and you will be baptized with the baptism with which I am baptized, ⁴⁰ but to sit at My right hand or at My left hand, is not Mine to give, but to those for whom it has been prepared.” ⁴¹ And having heard this, the ten began to be indignant about James and John.

⁴⁶ And an argument came up among them, which of them might be greatest.

¹⁰ devoted to one another in brotherly love, esteeming one another in honor,

⁴ Love is patient, love is kind, love is not envious, it is not boastful, it is not puffed up.

³ nothing according to self-interest or according to vain conceit, but in humility be esteeming one another surpassing themselves, ⁴ each considering not the things of themselves, but each also the things of others. ⁵ Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus:

⁵ Or do you think that the Scripture says in vain, “The Spirit that He has made to dwell in us yearns with envy”? ⁶ But He gives greater grace. Therefore it says: “God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble.”

⁵ Likewise, younger ones, be subject to your elders. And all, gird on humility one to another, because, “God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble.” ⁶ Be humbled therefore under the mighty hand of God, so that He may exalt you in due time,

²⁵ And Jesus having summoned them, said, “You know that the rulers of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them, and the great ones exercise authority over them. ²⁶ Thus will it not be among you. But whoever wishes to become great among you, he will be your servant; ²⁷ and whoever wishes to be first among you, he will be your slave— ²⁸ even as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many.”

⁴¹ And having heard this, the ten began to be indignant about James and John. ⁴² And Jesus having called them near, says to them, “You know that those being accounted to rule over the Gentiles exercise lordship over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them. ⁴³ But it shall not be thus among you. Instead, whoever desires to become great among you will be your servant, ⁴⁴ and whoever desires to become first among you will be slave of all. ⁴⁵ For even the Son of Man came not to be served, but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many.”

³ and said, “Truly I say to you, if you are not converted and become as the little children, you shall never enter into the kingdom of the heavens. ⁴ Therefore whoever will humble himself as this little child, he is the greatest in the kingdom of the heavens. ⁵ And whoever shall receive one such little child in My name, receives Me.

⁸ But you shall not be called ‘Rabbi,’ for your Teacher is One, and you are all brothers. ⁹ And call no one your father on the earth; for One is your Father, who is in heaven. ¹⁰ Neither be called instructors; since One is your instructor, the Christ. ¹¹ But the greatest among you will be your servant. ¹² And whoever shall exalt himself will be humbled, and whoever shall humble himself will be exalted.

³⁵ And having sat down, He called the Twelve, and He says to them, “If anyone desires to be first, he will be last of all and servant of all.”

⁴⁸ and He said to them, “Whoever shall receive this child in My name, receives Me; and whoever shall receive Me, receives the One having sent Me. For the one being least among you all, he shall be great.”

² And do not be conformed to this age, but be transformed by the renewing of the mind, for you to prove what is the good and well-pleasing and perfect will of God.

³ not as exercising lordship over those in your charge, but being examples to the flock.

⁵ Likewise, younger ones, be subject to your elders. And all, gird on humility one to another, because, “God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble.”

⁹ I have written something to the church; but Diotrephes, the one loving to be first among them, does not welcome us. ¹⁰ Because of this, if I might come, I will bring to remembrance his works which he is doing, speaking against us with evil words; and not being satisfied with these, neither he receives the brothers himself, and he forbids those purposing, and he casts them out from the church.

²⁸ even as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many.”

⁷ And which of you having a servant plowing or shepherding, the one having come in out of the field, will say to him ‘Having come, immediately recline?’ ⁸ Instead, will he not say to him, ‘Prepare what I may eat, and having girded yourself about, serve me while I eat and drink; and after these things you shall eat and drink’? ⁹ Is he thankful to the servant because he did the things having been commanded?

⁵ After that, He pours water into the basin, and He began to wash the feet of the disciples and to wipe them with the towel with which He was girded. ⁶ Then He comes to Simon Peter, who says to Him, “Lord, do You wash my feet?” ⁷ Jesus answered and said to him, “What I do, you do not know presently, but you will know after these things.” ⁸ Peter says to Him, “Never shall You wash my feet, to the age.” Jesus answered him, “Unless I wash you, you have no part with Me.” ⁹ Simon Peter says to Him, “Lord, not my feet only, but also the hands and the head.” ¹⁰ Jesus says to him, “The one having been bathed has no need to wash, except the feet, but is wholly clean. And you all are clean, but not all.” ¹¹ For He knew the one who was betraying Him; on account of this He said, “You are not all clean.” ¹² Therefore when He had washed their feet and taken His garments, and having reclined again, He said to them, “Do you know what I have done to you? ¹³ You call Me Teacher and Lord, and you say rightly, for so I am. ¹⁴ Therefore if I, the Lord and the Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash the feet of one another. ¹⁵ For I gave you a pattern, that as I did to you, you also should do. ¹⁶ Truly, truly, I say to you, a servant is not greater than his master, nor a messenger greater than the one having sent him.

⁹ For you know the grace our Lord Jesus Christ, that being rich, for the sake of you He became poor, so that you through His poverty might be enriched.

⁷ but emptied Himself, having taken the form of a servant, having been made in the likeness of men. ⁸ And having been found in appearance as a man He humbled Himself, having become obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.

²⁸ And Jesus said to them, “Truly I say to you that in the regeneration, when the Son of Man shall sit down upon His throne of glory, you having followed Me, you also will sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. ²⁹ And everyone who has left houses, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for the sake of My name, will receive a hundredfold, and will inherit eternal life.

¹³ But the one having endured to the end, he will be saved.

⁶⁷ Therefore Jesus said to the Twelve, “You are not wishing to go away also?” ⁶⁸ Simon Peter answered Him, “Lord, to whom will we go? You have the words of eternal life.

³¹ Therefore Jesus was saying to the Jews having believed in Him, “If you abide in My word, you are truly My disciples.

²⁵ to take the place of this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas turned aside to go to the own place.”

¹⁸ For in that He Himself has suffered, having been tempted, He is able to help those being tempted.

¹⁵ For we do not have a high priest not being able to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one having been tempted in all things by the same way, without sin.

⁴⁷ Truly I say to you that he will set him over all of his possessing.

³⁴ Then the King will say to those on His right hand, ‘Come, those being blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom having been prepared for you from the foundation of the world.

¹⁸ And having come to them, Jesus spoke to them, saying, “All authority in heaven and on the earth has been given to Me.

³² Do not fear, little flock, for your Father took delight to give you the kingdom.

¹⁷ And He said to him, ‘Well done, good servant! Because you were faithful in very little, you are to be having authority over ten cities.’

²⁵ Now everyone striving controls himself in all things; then indeed they, that they might receive a perishable crown; but we, an imperishable.

⁷ And our hope for you is sure, knowing that as you are partners of our sufferings, so also of our comfort.

¹² if we endure, we will also reign together with Him; if we will deny Him, He also will deny us;

⁵ Listen, my beloved brothers: Has not God chosen the poor in this world to be rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom that He promised to those loving Him?

⁴ And the Chief Shepherd having been revealed, you will receive the unfading crown of glory.

¹⁴ And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in them the twelve names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.

¹¹ And I say to you that many will come from east and west, and will recline with Abraham and Isaac and Jacob in the kingdom of the heavens.

²⁸ And Jesus said to them, “Truly I say to you that in the regeneration, when the Son of Man shall sit down upon His throne of glory, you having followed Me, you also will sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

¹⁶ For I say to you that never again will I eat thereof, until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God.” ¹⁷ And having received the cup, having given thanks, He said, “Take this and divide it among yourselves. ¹⁸ For I say to you that I will not drink of the fruit of the vine from now until the kingdom of God shall come.”

² Or do you not know that saints will judge the world? And if the world is to be judged by you, are you unworthy of the smallest of cases? ³ Do you not know that we will judge angels? How much more the things of this life?

²⁶ And the one overcoming and keeping My works until the end, I will give to him authority over the nations, ²⁷ and he will shepherd them with a rod of iron, as the vessels of the potter are broken in pieces—just as I also have received from My Father.

²¹ The one overcoming, I will give to him to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne.

⁴ And around the throne were twenty-four thrones; and sitting on the thrones twenty-four elders, having been clothed in white garments; and on their heads, golden crowns.

⁴¹ And the Lord answering said to her, “Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled about many things;

⁴ And having fallen on the ground, he heard a voice saying to him, “Saul, Saul, why do you persecute Me?”

⁸ Be sober-minded; watch. Your adversary the devil prowls about as a roaring lion seeking whom to devour,

¹⁰ And I heard a great voice in heaven, saying: “Now the salvation, and the power, and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of His Christ have come, because the accuser of our brothers has been thrown down, the one accusing them before our God day and night.

³ and said, “Truly I say to you, if you are not converted and become as the little children, you shall never enter into the kingdom of the heavens.

⁷⁵ And Peter remembered the word of Jesus, He having said, “Before the rooster crowing, you will deny Me three times.” And having gone out, he wept bitterly.

⁷² And immediately a rooster crowed for the second time. And Peter remembered the word that Jesus had said to him, “Before the rooster crows twice, you will deny Me three times.” And having broken down, he began to weep.

⁷ But go, say to His disciples and to Peter that He goes before you into Galilee; there you will see Him, as He said to you.”

¹³ And those upon the rock are those who receive the word with joy when they hear; and these have no root, who believe for a time, and in time of testing fall away.

⁶¹ And having turned, the Lord looked at Peter, and Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how He had said to him, “Before the rooster crows today, you will deny Me three times.” ⁶² And having gone forth outside, he wept bitterly.

¹⁹ Yet a little while, and the world sees Me no more, but you see Me. Because I live, you also will live.

⁹ I am praying concerning them. I do not pray concerning the world, but concerning those whom You have given Me, for they are Yours. ¹⁰ And all things of mine are Yours, and Yours Mine. And I have been glorified in them. ¹¹ And I am no longer in the world, and yet they are themselves in the world, and I am coming to You. Holy Father, keep them in Your name, which You have given Me, that they may be one as we are.

¹⁵ I do not ask that You should take them out of the world, but that You should keep them from evil. ¹⁶ They are not of the world, as I am not of the world. ¹⁷ Sanctify them by the truth; Your word is truth. ¹⁸ As You sent Me into the world, I also sent them into the world; ¹⁹ and for them I sanctify Myself, that they also may be sanctified in truth. ²⁰ But I do not ask for these only, but also for those believing in Me through their word, ²¹ that all may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You, that they also may be in Us, that the world may believe that You sent Me.

¹⁵ Therefore when they had dined, Jesus says to Simon Peter, “Simon son of John, do you love Me more than these?” He says to Him, “Yes, Lord; You know that I dearly love You.” He says to him, “Feed My lambs.” ¹⁶ He says to him again a second time, “Simon son of John, do you love Me?” He says to Him, “Yes, Lord; You know that I dearly love You.” He says to him, “Shepherd My sheep.” ¹⁷ He says to him the third time, “Simon son of John, do you dearly love Me?” Peter was grieved because He said to him the third time, “Do you dearly love Me?” And he said to Him, “Lord, You know all things; You know that I dearly love You.” Jesus says to him, “Feed My sheep.

¹⁹ Repent, therefore, and turn again, for the blotting out of your sins,

⁹ Therefore much more, having been justified now by His blood, we will be saved by Him from wrath! ¹⁰ For if, being enemies, we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved in His life!

³² For He who spared not the own Son, but gave Him up for us all, how will He not also, with Him, grant us all things?

³⁴ Who is the one condemning? For it is Christ Jesus, the one having died, now rather having been raised up, who is also at the right hand of God, and who is interceding for us.

⁴ the One comforting us in all our tribulation, for us to be able to comfort those in every tribulation through the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God, ⁵ because as the sufferings of the Christ abound toward us, so through Christ our comfort also abounds. ⁶ But if we are constricted, it is for your comfort and salvation; if we are encouraged, it is for your comfort, operating in the endurance of the same sufferings that we also suffer.

¹³ being formerly a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and insolent; but I was shown mercy, because I did it in unbelief, being ignorant. ¹⁴ And the grace of our Lord surpassingly increased with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus. ¹⁵ Trustworthy is the saying, and worthy of full acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am the foremost. ¹⁶ But because of this I was shown mercy, that in me, the foremost, Christ Jesus might display perfect patience, as a pattern for those being about to believe on Him to eternal life.

¹⁸ who have gone astray concerning the truth, asserting the resurrection already to have taken place; and they are overthrowing the faith of some.

¹ Paul, a servant of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of the elect of God and the knowledge of the truth which is according to godliness,

²⁵ wherefore also He is able to save to the uttermost those drawing near to God through Him, always living for to intercede for them.

¹² Therefore lift up the drooping hands and enfeebled knees, ¹³ and make straight paths for your feet, so that the lame should not be put out of joint, but rather should be healed.

¹⁵ observing lest any be failing of the grace of God, lest any root of bitterness springing up should trouble you and by this, the many might be defiled,

¹ Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, To the elect sojourners of the dispersion of Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia,

⁵ who are being guarded by the power of God through faith, for the salvation ready to be revealed in the last time,

¹³ Therefore having girded up the loins of your mind, being sober-minded, set your hope fully upon the grace being brought to you in the revelation of Jesus Christ,

⁸ Be sober-minded; watch. Your adversary the devil prowls about as a roaring lion seeking whom to devour, ⁹ whom you should resist, firm in the faith, knowing the same sufferings to be accomplished in your brotherhood throughout the world. ¹⁰ And the God of all grace, the One having called you to His eternal glory in Christ, of you having suffered a little while, He Himself will perfect, will confirm, will strengthen, and will establish you.

¹⁰ Therefore, brothers, be diligent, rather, to make your calling and election sure. For practicing these things, never at any time shall you stumble. ¹¹ For in this way the entrance into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ will be richly supplied to you. ¹² Therefore I will be ready always to remind you concerning these things, though knowing them and having been strengthened in the truth being present in you.

¹⁴ Therefore, beloved, expecting these things, be diligent to be found by Him in peace, without spot and without blemish.

¹⁷ Therefore beloved, knowing this beforehand, you beware, lest you should fall from the own steadfastness, having been led away by the error of the lawless. ¹⁸ But grow in grace and in knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory both now and to the day of eternity. Amen.

¹ My little children, I am writing these things to you so that you might not sin. And if anyone should sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the Righteous One. ² And He is the propitiation for our sins, and not only for ours, but also for those of the whole world.

¹⁹ They went out from among us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have remained with us. But it is so that it might be made manifest that they are not all of us.

²² And Jesus answering, said, “You do not know what you ask for. Are you able to drink the cup which I am about to drink?” They say to Him, “We are able.”

³³ And Peter answering, said to Him, “If all will fall away because of You, I never will fall away.” ³⁴ Jesus said to him, “Truly I say to you, during this night, before the rooster crowing, you will deny Me three times.” ³⁵ Peter says to Him, “Even if it were necessary for me to die with You, I will never deny You.” And all the disciples said likewise.

⁴⁰ And He comes to the disciples and finds them sleeping. And He says to Peter, “So, were you not able to watch with Me one hour? ⁴¹ Watch and pray, that you do not enter into temptation. For the spirit is willing, but the flesh weak.”

²⁹ And Peter was saying to Him, “Even if all will fall away, yet I will not.”

³¹ And he kept saying emphatically, “If it is needful of me to die with You, never will I deny You.” And all of them were saying likewise also.

³⁷ And He comes and finds them sleeping. And He says to Peter, “Simon are you asleep? Were you not able to watch one hour? ³⁸ Watch and pray, so that you may not enter into temptation. For the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.”

³⁶ Simon Peter says to Him, “Lord, where are You going?” Jesus answered him, “Where I go, you are not able to follow Me now, but you will follow afterward.” ³⁷ Peter says to Him, “Lord, why am I not able to follow You presently? I will lay down my life for You.”

²³ except that the Holy Spirit fully testifies to me in every city, saying that chains and tribulations await me. ²⁴ But I make my life neither dear nor any account to myself, so as to finish my course and the ministry that I received from the Lord Jesus: to testify fully the gospel of the grace of God.

¹³ Then Paul answered, “What are you doing, weeping and breaking my heart? For I have readiness not only to be bound, but also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.”

³⁴ Jesus said to him, “Truly I say to you, during this night, before the rooster crowing, you will deny Me three times.”

⁷⁴ Then he began to curse and to swear, “I do not know the man!” And immediately a rooster crowed.

³⁰ And Jesus says to him, “Truly I say to you that now this night, before that the rooster crows twice, you yourself will deny Me three times.”

⁷¹ But he began to curse and to swear, “I do not know this man whom you speak of!” ⁷² And immediately a rooster crowed for the second time. And Peter remembered the word that Jesus had said to him, “Before the rooster crows twice, you will deny Me three times.” And having broken down, he began to weep.

³⁸ Jesus answered, “Will you lay down your life for Me? Truly, truly, I say to you, the rooster will not crow until you will deny Me three times.

²⁷ Then Peter denied it again, and immediately a rooster crowed.

³¹ Therefore do not be anxious, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ Or ‘What shall we drink?’ Or ‘What shall we wear?’ ³² For the Gentiles seek after all these things. For your Heavenly Father knows that you have need of them all. ³³ But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added unto you.

⁹ Take along neither gold nor silver nor copper in your belts, ¹⁰ nor provision-bag for the way, nor two tunics, nor sandals, nor a staff; for the workman is worthy of his provisions.

⁸ And He instructed them that they should take nothing for the journey, except only a staff—no bread, nor bag, nor money in the belt— ⁹ but wearing sandals, and do not put on two tunics.

³ And He said to them, “Take nothing for the journey, neither staff, nor bag, nor bread, nor money, nor two tunics apiece to have.

⁴ Carry no purse, nor bag, nor sandals; and greet no one on the road.

²⁹ And you, do not seek what you might eat, and what you might drink, and do not be in suspense; ³⁰ for all the nations of the world seek after these things, and your Father knows that you have need of these. ³¹ But seek you His kingdom, and these things will be added to you.

²² And you will be hated by all on account of My name; but the one having endured to the end, he will be saved. ²³ And whenever they persecute you in one city, flee to the next. For truly I say to you, you shall not have completed the cities of Israel until the Son of Man comes. ²⁴ A disciple is not above the teacher, nor a servant above his master. ²⁵ It is sufficient for the disciple that he become like his teacher, and the servant like his master. If the master of the house they called Beelzebul, how much more those of his household!

²⁰ Remember the word that I said to you: ‘A servant is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you; if they kept My word, they will keep yours also.

³³ I have spoken these things to you so that in Me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation. But take courage; I have overcome the world.”

¹⁴ For you became imitators, brothers, of the churches of God in Judea being in Christ Jesus. For the same as them, you also suffered from the own countrymen as they also did from the Jews, ¹⁵ who having killed both the Lord Jesus and their own prophets, and having driven us out, and not pleasing God, are also set against all men,

⁴ And indeed, when we were with you, we were telling you beforehand that we are about to suffer affliction, just as also it came to pass, and you know.

¹ Therefore Christ having suffered in the flesh, you also arm yourselves with the same mind, because the one having suffered in the flesh is done with sin,

⁵⁴ How then should the Scriptures be fulfilled, that it must be so?” ⁵⁵ In that hour, Jesus said to the crowds, “Did you come out with swords and clubs, as against a robber, to capture Me? Every day in the temple I was sitting, teaching, and you did not seize Me. ⁵⁶ And all this is come to pass, that the Scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled.” Then the disciples all, having forsaken Him, fled.

²⁷ And with Him they crucify two robbers, one at the right hand, and one at His left.

³¹ And having taken aside the Twelve, He said to them, “Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and all things having been written by the prophets about the Son of Man will be accomplished.

²² For indeed the Son of Man goes according to that having been determined. But woe to that man by whom He is betrayed.”

³² And two other criminals also were being led away to be put to death with Him.

⁴⁴ And He said unto to them, “These are my words, which I spoke to you being still with you, that all things having been written concerning Me in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms, it behooves to be fulfilled.” ⁴⁵ Then He opened their mind to understand the Scriptures. ⁴⁶ And He said to them, “Thus it has been written: The Christ was to suffer and to rise out from the dead on the third day,

³⁵ If he called them gods to whom the word of God came, and the Scripture is not able to be broken,

⁴ I glorified You on the earth, having completed the work that You have given Me that I should do.

²⁸ After this, Jesus, knowing that now all things had been accomplished, so that Scripture might be fulfilled, says, “I thirst.” ²⁹ A vessel full of sour wine had been set there. So having put on a stalk of hyssop a sponge filled with sour wine, they brought it to the mouth. ³⁰ Therefore when Jesus took the sour wine, He said “It has been finished.” And having bowed the head, He yielded up the spirit.

²⁷ For those dwelling in Jerusalem and their rulers, not having known Him and the voices of the prophets that are being read on every Sabbath, having condemned Him, they fulfilled them. ²⁸ And having found no cause of death, they begged Pilate to put Him to death. ²⁹ And when they had finished all the things having been written about Him, having taken Him down from the tree, they put Him in a tomb.

²¹ He made the One not having known sin to be sin for us, so that in Him we might become the righteousness of God.

¹³ Christ redeemed us from the curse of the Law, having become a curse for us—for it has been written: “Cursed is everyone hanging on a tree”—

⁵² Then Jesus says to him, “Return your sword into its place; for all those having taken the sword, will perish by the sword.

⁴⁹ And those around Him, having seen what would be, said, “Lord, should we strike with the sword?”

³⁶ Jesus answered, “My kingdom is not of this world; if My kingdom were of this world, My attendants would fight that I might not be betrayed to the Jews. But now My kingdom is not from here.”

³ For walking in flesh, we do not wage war according to flesh. ⁴ For the weapons of our warfare are not fleshly, but divinely powerful toward the demolition of strongholds,

¹⁰ Henceforth be empowered in the Lord and in the strength of His might. ¹¹ Put on the complete armor of God, for you to be able to stand against the schemes of the devil, ¹² because to us the wrestling is not against blood and flesh, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. ¹³ Because of this, take up the complete armor of God, so that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all things, to stand. ¹⁴ Stand therefore, having girded your loins with truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, ¹⁵ and having shod the feet with the readiness of the gospel of peace; ¹⁶ besides all, having taken up the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the flaming arrows of the evil one. ¹⁷ And take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God, ¹⁸ through all prayer and supplication, praying in the Spirit in every season and unto this very thing, watching with all perseverance and supplication for all saints,

⁸ But we being of the day should be sober, having put on the breastplate of faith and love, and the helmet, the hope of salvation, ⁹ whom you should resist, firm in the faith, knowing the same sufferings to be accomplished in your brotherhood throughout the world.

¹ And when they drew near to Jerusalem and came to Bethphage on the Mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples,

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

³⁶ Then Jesus comes with them to a place called Gethsemane, and He says to the disciples, “Sit here until that having gone away over there, I shall pray.” ³⁷ And having taken with Him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, He began to be sorrowful and deeply distressed. ³⁸ Then He says to them, “My soul is very sorrowful, even to death. Remain here and watch with Me.”

¹¹ And He entered into Jerusalem, into the temple; and having looked around on all things, the hour being already late, He went out to Bethany with the Twelve.

¹⁹ And when evening came, they were going forth out of the city.

³ And of Him sitting upon the Mount of Olives, opposite the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked Him in private,

²⁶ And having sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.

³² And they come to a place, the name of which is Gethsemane; and He says to His disciples, “Sit here, while I shall pray.” ³³ And He takes Peter and James and John with Him; and He began to be greatly awe-struck and deeply distressed. ³⁴ And He says to them, “My soul is very sorrowful, even to death; remain here and watch.”

³⁷ And during the day He was teaching in the temple, and in the evening going out, He was lodging on the mount called Olivet.

¹ Having said these things, Jesus went out with His disciples beyond the winter stream of Kidron, where there was a garden, into which He and His disciples entered. ² Now Judas, who was delivering Him up, also knew the place, because Jesus often gathered together there with His disciples.

¹³ And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.’

³⁶ Then Jesus comes with them to a place called Gethsemane, and He says to the disciples, “Sit here until that having gone away over there, I shall pray.” ³⁷ And having taken with Him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, He began to be sorrowful and deeply distressed. ³⁸ Then He says to them, “My soul is very sorrowful, even to death. Remain here and watch with Me.” ³⁹ And having gone forward a little, He fell upon His face, praying, and saying, “My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me. Nevertheless not as I will, but as You.” ⁴⁰ And He comes to the disciples and finds them sleeping. And He says to Peter, “So, were you not able to watch with Me one hour? ⁴¹ Watch and pray, that you do not enter into temptation. For the spirit is willing, but the flesh weak.” ⁴² Again for a second time having gone away, He prayed, saying, “My Father, if this is not possible to pass unless I drink it, Your will be done.” ⁴³ And having come again, He finds them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy. ⁴⁴ And having left them again, having gone away, He prayed for the third time, having said the same thing again. ⁴⁵ Then He comes to the disciples and says to them, “Sleep and take your rest later on. Behold, the hour has drawn near, and the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners. ⁴⁶ Rise up, let us go! Behold, he who is betraying Me has drawn near!”

³² And they come to a place, the name of which is Gethsemane; and He says to His disciples, “Sit here, while I shall pray.” ³³ And He takes Peter and James and John with Him; and He began to be greatly awe-struck and deeply distressed. ³⁴ And He says to them, “My soul is very sorrowful, even to death; remain here and watch.” ³⁵ And having gone forward a little, He fell upon the ground, and was praying that if it is possible, the hour might pass from Him. ³⁶ And He was saying, “Abba, Father, all things are possible to You; take away this cup from Me; but not what I will, but what You will.” ³⁷ And He comes and finds them sleeping. And He says to Peter, “Simon are you asleep? Were you not able to watch one hour? ³⁸ Watch and pray, so that you may not enter into temptation. For the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.” ³⁹ And again having gone away, He prayed, having said the same thing. ⁴⁰ And again having returned, he found them sleeping. For their the eyes were heavy, and they did not know what they should answer Him. ⁴¹ And He comes the third time and says to them, “Are you still sleeping and taking your rest? It is enough; the hour has come. Behold, the Son of Man is delivered up into the hands of the sinful. ⁴² Rise, let us go. Behold, the one betraying Me has drawn near!”

⁴ And forgive us our sins, for also we ourselves forgive everyone indebted to us; and lead us not into temptation.’”

⁴⁶ And He said to them, “Why are you sleeping? Having risen up, pray that you might not enter into temptation.”

⁷ and the surpassingness of the revelations. Therefore, that I should not become conceited, a thorn in my flesh was given to me, a messenger of Satan, that he might buffet me, so that I should not become conceited. ⁸ Three times I begged the Lord for this, that it might depart from me. ⁹ And He said to me, “My grace suffices you, for the power is perfected in weakness.” Therefore will I boast rather most gladly in my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me. ¹⁰ Therefore I take pleasure in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, and difficulties for Christ; for when I might be weak, then I am strong.

¹⁸ through all prayer and supplication, praying in the Spirit in every season and unto this very thing, watching with all perseverance and supplication for all saints, ¹⁹ and also for me, that in the opening of my mouth, divine utterance may be given to me to make known with boldness the mystery of the gospel,

⁷ Now the end of all has drawn near. Therefore be clear-minded and be sober for the purpose of prayers,

⁸ Be sober-minded; watch. Your adversary the devil prowls about as a roaring lion seeking whom to devour, ⁹ whom you should resist, firm in the faith, knowing the same sufferings to be accomplished in your brotherhood throughout the world.

¹⁰ Because you have kept the word of My patient endurance, I also will keep you out of the hour of the trial being about to come upon the whole inhabited world, to try those dwelling upon the earth.

³⁹ And having gone forward a little, He fell upon His face, praying, and saying, “My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me. Nevertheless not as I will, but as You.”

³⁵ And having gone forward a little, He fell upon the ground, and was praying that if it is possible, the hour might pass from Him.

¹¹ The Pharisee having stood, was praying toward himself thus: ‘God, I thank You that I am not like the rest of the men—swindlers, unrighteous, adulterers—or even like this tax collector.

⁴² Again for a second time having gone away, He prayed, saying, “My Father, if this is not possible to pass unless I drink it, Your will be done.”

⁴⁴ And having left them again, having gone away, He prayed for the third time, having said the same thing again.

³⁶ And He was saying, “Abba, Father, all things are possible to You; take away this cup from Me; but not what I will, but what You will.”

¹⁷ And having received the cup, having given thanks, He said, “Take this and divide it among yourselves. ¹⁸ For I say to you that I will not drink of the fruit of the vine from now until the kingdom of God shall come.” ¹⁹ And having taken the bread, having given thanks, He broke it and gave to them, saying, “This is My body, which is given for you; do this in remembrance of Me,” ²⁰ and the cup likewise, after having supped, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in My blood, which is being poured out for you.

³⁰ I am able to do nothing of Myself. As I hear, I judge; and My judgment is just, because I do not seek My will, but the will of the One having sent Me.

³⁸ For I have come down from heaven, not that I should do My will, but the will of the One having sent Me.

²⁷ Now My soul has been troubled, and what shall I say? ‘Father, save Me from this hour’? But on account of this I came to this hour. ²⁸ Father, glorify Your name.” Therefore a voice came from heaven: “I have both glorified it, and I will glorify it again.”

¹¹ Therefore Jesus said to Peter, “Put the sword into the sheath. The cup which the Father has given Me, shall I not drink it?”

⁶ and says to him, “If You are Son of God, throw Yourself down. For it has been written: ‘He will give orders to His angels concerning You, and will they bear You up in their hands, lest ever You strike Your foot against a stone.’”

¹¹ Then the devil leaves Him, and behold, angels came and were ministering to Him.

⁵³ Or do you think that I am not able to call upon My Father, and He will furnish to Me presently more than twelve legions of angels?

¹⁰ For it has been written: ‘He will give orders to His angels concerning You, to guard You; ¹¹ and in their hands will they bear You up, lest ever You strike Your foot against a stone.’”

³² But I begged for you, that your faith may not fail. And you, when you have turned back, strengthen your brothers.”

²³ And having stayed some time, he went forth, passing successively through the Galatian region and Phrygia, strengthening all the disciples.

¹⁶ And confessedly, great is the mystery of godliness: Who was revealed in the flesh, was justified in the Spirit, was seen by angels, was proclaimed among the nations, was believed on in the world, was taken up in glory.

⁶ And again, when He brings the Firstborn into the world, He says: “And let all God’s angels worship Him.”

¹⁴ Are they not all ministering spirits, being sent forth for service for the sake of those being about to inherit salvation?

¹⁷ Therefore it behooved Him to be made like the brothers in all things, so that He might become a merciful and faithful high priest in things relating to God, in order to make propitiation for the sins of the people.

²⁷ Now My soul has been troubled, and what shall I say? ‘Father, save Me from this hour’? But on account of this I came to this hour.

⁷ He in the days of His flesh, having offered up both prayers and supplications with loud crying and tears to the One being able to save Him from death, and having been heard because of reverent submission,

⁴⁰ And He comes to the disciples and finds them sleeping. And He says to Peter, “So, were you not able to watch with Me one hour?

⁴³ And having come again, He finds them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy.

³⁷ And He comes and finds them sleeping. And He says to Peter, “Simon are you asleep? Were you not able to watch one hour?

⁴⁰ And again having returned, he found them sleeping. For their the eyes were heavy, and they did not know what they should answer Him. ⁴¹ And He comes the third time and says to them, “Are you still sleeping and taking your rest? It is enough; the hour has come. Behold, the Son of Man is delivered up into the hands of the sinful.

³⁴ And take heed to yourselves, lest your hearts ever be burdened with dissipation and drunkenness and the cares of life—and that day would come upon you suddenly as a snare. ³⁵ For it will come upon all those sitting upon the face of all the earth. ³⁶ Watch also at every season, praying that you may have strength to escape all these things that are about to come to pass and to stand before the Son of Man.”

⁴⁰ And having come to the place, He said to them, “Pray not to enter into temptation.”

⁴⁵ Then He comes to the disciples and says to them, “Sleep and take your rest later on. Behold, the hour has drawn near, and the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners. ⁴⁶ Rise up, let us go! Behold, he who is betraying Me has drawn near!” ⁴⁷ And as He is still speaking, behold, Judas, one of the Twelve, came, and with him great a crowd with swords and clubs, from the chief priests and elders of the people. ⁴⁸ And the one betraying Him gave them a sign, saying, “Whomever I shall kiss, it is He; seize Him.” ⁴⁹ And having come up to Jesus immediately, he said, “Greetings, Rabbi,” and kissed Him. ⁵⁰ And Jesus said to him, “Friend, for what are you come?” Then having approached, they laid hands on Jesus and seized Him. ⁵¹ And behold, one of those with Jesus, having stretched out the hand, drew his sword, and having struck the servant of the high priest, cut off his ear. ⁵² Then Jesus says to him, “Return your sword into its place; for all those having taken the sword, will perish by the sword. ⁵³ Or do you think that I am not able to call upon My Father, and He will furnish to Me presently more than twelve legions of angels?

¹⁰ And Judas Iscariot, one of the Twelve, went away to the chief priests, that he might betray Him to them.

⁴¹ And He comes the third time and says to them, “Are you still sleeping and taking your rest? It is enough; the hour has come. Behold, the Son of Man is delivered up into the hands of the sinful. ⁴² Rise, let us go. Behold, the one betraying Me has drawn near!” ⁴³ And immediately while yet He is speaking, Judas, one of the Twelve, comes up, and with Him a crowd with swords and clubs, from the chief priests and the scribes and the elders. ⁴⁴ And the one delivering Him up had given to them a sign, saying: “Whomever I shall kiss is He; seize Him and lead Him away securely.” ⁴⁵ And having arrived, having come up to Him immediately, he says, “Rabbi!” And he kissed Him. ⁴⁶ And they laid hands on Him and seized Him. ⁴⁷ And a certain one of those standing by, having drawn the sword, struck the servant of the high priest and cut off his ear. ⁴⁸ And Jesus answering said to them, “Are you come out with swords and clubs as against a robber, to capture Me? ⁴⁹ Every day I was with you in the temple teaching, and you did not seize Me. But it is that the Scriptures may be fulfilled.” ⁵⁰ And all having left Him, fled.

³ And Satan entered into Judas the one being called Iscariot, being of the number of the Twelve. ⁴ And having gone away, he spoke with the chief priests and captains, how he might betray Him to them. ⁵ And they rejoiced and agreed to give him money. ⁶ And he promised, and began seeking opportunity to betray Him to them apart from a crowd.

² Now Judas, who was delivering Him up, also knew the place, because Jesus often gathered together there with His disciples. ³ Therefore Judas, having procured the cohort and officers from the chief priests and from the Pharisees, comes there with lanterns and torches and weapons. ⁴ Therefore Jesus, knowing all things that are coming upon Him, having gone forth, also said to them, “Whom do you seek?” ⁵ They answered Him, “Jesus of Nazareth.” He says to them, “I am He.” Now Judas, who is delivering Him up, also had been standing with them. ⁶ Therefore when He said to them, “I am He,” they drew toward the back and fell to the ground. ⁷ Therefore He questioned them again, “Whom do you seek?” And they said, “Jesus of Nazareth.” ⁸ Jesus answered, “I have told you that I am He. Therefore if you seek Me, allow these to go away,” ⁹ so that the word that He had spoken might be fulfilled, “Those whom You have given Me, I have lost none of them, not one.” ¹⁰ Then Simon Peter, having a sword, drew it and struck the servant of the high priest and cut off his right ear. Now the servant’s name was Malchus. ¹¹ Therefore Jesus said to Peter, “Put the sword into the sheath. The cup which the Father has given Me, shall I not drink it?”

¹⁶ “Men, brothers, it was necessary for the Scripture to have been fulfilled which the Holy Spirit spoke beforehand by the mouth of David concerning Judas, the one having become guide to those having arrested Jesus. ¹⁷ For he was numbered with us, and was allotted a share of this ministry.” ¹⁸ (Then indeed this man acquired a field out of the reward of unrighteousness, and having fallen headlong, he burst open in the middle and all his intestines gushed out.

⁴⁸ And the one betraying Him gave them a sign, saying, “Whomever I shall kiss, it is He; seize Him.” ⁴⁹ And having come up to Jesus immediately, he said, “Greetings, Rabbi,” and kissed Him. ⁵⁰ And Jesus said to him, “Friend, for what are you come?” Then having approached, they laid hands on Jesus and seized Him.

⁴⁴ And the one delivering Him up had given to them a sign, saying: “Whomever I shall kiss is He; seize Him and lead Him away securely.” ⁴⁵ And having arrived, having come up to Him immediately, he says, “Rabbi!” And he kissed Him. ⁴⁶ And they laid hands on Him and seized Him.

³⁸ And they said, “Lord, behold, here are two swords.” And He said to them, “It is enough.”

⁵¹ And behold, one of those with Jesus, having stretched out the hand, drew his sword, and having struck the servant of the high priest, cut off his ear.

⁴⁷ And a certain one of those standing by, having drawn the sword, struck the servant of the high priest and cut off his ear.

¹⁹ never avenging yourselves, beloved; instead give place to wrath, for it has been written: “Vengeance is Mine, I will repay, says the Lord.”

⁴ For the weapons of our warfare are not fleshly, but divinely powerful toward the demolition of strongholds,

⁸ Jesus answered, “I have told you that I am He. Therefore if you seek Me, allow these to go away,” ⁹ so that the word that He had spoken might be fulfilled, “Those whom You have given Me, I have lost none of them, not one.”

²¹ Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

¹ Now I, Paul, myself exhort you by the meekness and gentleness of Christ, I who indeed as to appearance am humble among you, but being absent am bold toward you.

²¹ For to this hereunto you have been called, because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example that you should follow after His steps: ²² “Who committed no sin, neither was deceit found in His mouth.” ²³ Who being reviled did not retaliate; suffering did not threaten, but He gave Himself over to Him judging justly.

⁵⁵ In that hour, Jesus said to the crowds, “Did you come out with swords and clubs, as against a robber, to capture Me? Every day in the temple I was sitting, teaching, and you did not seize Me.

⁴⁸ And Jesus answering said to them, “Are you come out with swords and clubs as against a robber, to capture Me? ⁴⁹ Every day I was with you in the temple teaching, and you did not seize Me. But it is that the Scriptures may be fulfilled.”

⁴ And having gone away, he spoke with the chief priests and captains, how he might betray Him to them.

¹² And Jesus entered into the temple and cast out all those selling and buying in the temple, and He overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of those selling the doves. ¹³ And He says to them, “It has been written: ‘My house will be called a house of prayer.’ But you have made it ‘a den of robbers.’” ¹⁴ And the blind and the lame came to Him in the temple, and He healed them. ¹⁵ And the chief priests and the scribes, having seen the wonders that He did and the children crying out in the temple and saying, “Hosanna to the Son of David,” were indignant

²³ And of Him having come into the temple, teaching, the chief priests and the elders of the people came to Him, saying, “By what authority are You doing these things? And who gave to You this authority?”

³⁷ And during the day He was teaching in the temple, and in the evening going out, He was lodging on the mount called Olivet. ³⁸ And all the people would come to Him early in the morning in the temple, to hear Him.

²⁵ Therefore some of those of Jerusalem were saying, “Is this not whom they seek to kill? ²⁶ And behold, He speaks publicly, and they say nothing ever to Him. Have the rulers truly recognized that this is the Christ?

³⁰ Therefore they were seeking to take Him, but no one laid the hand upon Him, because His hour had not yet come.

⁴⁵ Therefore the officers came to the chief priests and Pharisees, and they said to them, “Why did you not bring Him?”

³⁰ No longer will I speak much with you; for the ruler of this world comes, and in Me he has nothing.

²⁰ Truly, truly, I say to you, that you will weep and will lament, but the world will rejoice. You will be grieved, but your grief will turn to joy. ²¹ The woman has pain when she is giving birth, because her hour has come; but when she brings forth the child, she remembers the tribulation no longer, on account of the joy that a man has been born into the world. ²² Therefore you also indeed have grief now; but I will see you again, and your heart will rejoice, and no one will take your joy from you.

¹⁸ to open their eyes, that they may turn from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among those having been sanctified by faith in Me.’

³ But if indeed our gospel is concealed, it is concealed to those who are perishing, ⁴ in whom the god of this age has blinded the minds of the unbelieving, so as for not to beam forth the illumination of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God. ⁵ For we do not proclaim ourselves, but Christ Jesus as Lord; and ourselves as your servants for the sake of Jesus. ⁶ For it is God, having said, “Light shall shine out of darkness,” who shone in our hearts for the radiance of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

¹² because to us the wrestling is not against blood and flesh, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.

⁹ And the great dragon was thrown out, the ancient serpent, who is called the devil and Satan, deceiving the whole inhabited world. He was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him. ¹⁰ And I heard a great voice in heaven, saying: “Now the salvation, and the power, and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of His Christ have come, because the accuser of our brothers has been thrown down, the one accusing them before our God day and night. ¹¹ And they have overcome him by reason of the blood of the Lamb, and by reason of the word of their testimony; and they have not loved their life unto death. ¹² Because of this, rejoice O heavens, and those dwelling in them! Woe to the earth and the sea, because the devil has come down to you, having great fury, knowing that he has a short time.”

⁵⁷ And those having seized Jesus led Him away to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were assembled. ⁵⁸ And Peter was following Him from afar, even to the court of the high priest. And having entered within, he was sitting with the guards to see the outcome.

⁵³ And they led away Jesus to the high priest. And all the chief priests, and the elders, and the scribes come together. ⁵⁴ And Peter followed Him from afar off, as far as to within the court of the high priest; and he was sitting with the officers and warming himself at the fire.

³³ And he said to Him, “Lord, I am ready to go with You both to prison and to death.” ³⁴ And He said, “I tell you Peter, the rooster will not crow today until you will deny three times knowing Me.”

¹² Then the cohort and the commander and the officers of the Jews took hold of Jesus and bound Him. ¹³ And they led Him away to Annas first; for he was father-in-law of Caiaphas, who was high priest the same year. ¹⁴ Now Caiaphas was the one having given counsel to the Jews that it is profitable for one man to perish for the people. ¹⁵ And Simon Peter and the other disciple were following Jesus. Now since that disciple was known to the high priest, he also entered with Jesus into the court of the high priest. ¹⁶ But Peter stood at the door outside. Therefore the other disciple, who was known to the high priest, went out and spoke to the doorkeeper and brought in Peter. ¹⁷ Therefore the servant girl, the doorkeeper, says to Peter, “Are you not also of the disciples of this man?” He says, “I am not.”

²⁴ Then Annas sent Him bound to Caiaphas the high priest.

³ Then the chief priests and the elders of the people were gathered together in the courtyard of the high priest, who is called Caiaphas,

⁶⁹ And Peter was sitting outside in the court, and one servant girl came to him, saying, “You also were with Jesus the Galilean.” ⁷⁰ And he denied it before all, saying, “I do not know what you say.” ⁷¹ And having gone out to the porch, another saw him, and says to those there, “This man was with Jesus of Nazareth.” ⁷² And again he denied it with an oath, “I do not know the man.” ⁷³ And after a little while those standing by having approached, said to Peter, “Surely you are of them also, for even your speech gives you away.” ⁷⁴ Then he began to curse and to swear, “I do not know the man!” And immediately a rooster crowed. ⁷⁵ And Peter remembered the word of Jesus, He having said, “Before the rooster crowing, you will deny Me three times.” And having gone out, he wept bitterly.

⁶⁶ And Peter being below in the courtyard, one of the servant girls of the high priest comes, ⁶⁷ and having seen Peter warming himself, having looked at him, she says, “You also were with the Nazarene, Jesus.” ⁶⁸ But he denied it, saying, “I neither know nor even understand what you say.” And he went forth out into the porch; and the rooster crowed. ⁶⁹ And the servant girl, having seen him, began to say again to those standing by, “This is one of them.” ⁷⁰ But he denied it again. And after a little, again those standing by were saying to Peter, “Truly you are of them, for you also are a Galilean.”

⁴⁴ And having been in agony, He was praying more earnestly. And His sweat became like great drops of blood falling down upon the ground.

¹⁶ But Peter stood at the door outside. Therefore the other disciple, who was known to the high priest, went out and spoke to the doorkeeper and brought in Peter. ¹⁷ Therefore the servant girl, the doorkeeper, says to Peter, “Are you not also of the disciples of this man?” He says, “I am not.” ¹⁸ Now the servants and the officers were standing, having made a fire of coals, for it was cold and they were warming themselves. And Peter was also standing with them and warming himself.

²⁵ Now Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. Therefore they said to him, “Are you not also one of His disciples?” He denied it and said, “I am not.” ²⁶ One of the servants of the high priest, being kinsman of him whose ear Peter had cut off, says, “Did I not see you in the garden with Him?” ²⁷ Then Peter denied it again, and immediately a rooster crowed.

³³ Do not be misled: “Bad companionships corrupt good morals.”

¹⁵ And what harmony has Christ with Belial? Or what part to a believer is with an unbeliever? ¹⁶ And what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For we are the temple of the living God. As God has said: “I will dwell in them, and will walk among them; and I will be their God, and they will be My people.” ¹⁷ “Therefore come out from their midst and be separate, says the Lord, and touch nothing unclean, and I will receive you.”

⁶⁹ And Peter was sitting outside in the court, and one servant girl came to him, saying, “You also were with Jesus the Galilean.”

⁶ And Jesus said, “Leave her alone; why do you cause trouble to her? She did a good work toward Me.

⁶⁶ And Peter being below in the courtyard, one of the servant girls of the high priest comes, ⁶⁷ and having seen Peter warming himself, having looked at him, she says, “You also were with the Nazarene, Jesus.” ⁶⁸ But he denied it, saying, “I neither know nor even understand what you say.” And he went forth out into the porch; and the rooster crowed.

¹⁷ Therefore the servant girl, the doorkeeper, says to Peter, “Are you not also of the disciples of this man?” He says, “I am not.”

³³ And whoever shall deny Me before men, I also will deny him before My Father in the heavens.

⁷⁰ And he denied it before all, saying, “I do not know what you say.”

⁹ And the one having denied Me before men will be denied before the angels of God.

²⁵ Now Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. Therefore they said to him, “Are you not also one of His disciples?” He denied it and said, “I am not.”

¹³ The God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God Jacob, the God of our fathers, has glorified His servant Jesus, whom indeed you betrayed and disowned in the presence of Pilate, that one having adjudged to release Him. ¹⁴ But you denied the Holy and Righteous One and requested a murderer to be granted to you.

¹⁰ Because of this, I endure all things for the sake of the elect, so that they also may obtain the salvation that is in Christ Jesus, with eternal glory. ¹¹ Trustworthy is the saying: For if we have died together with Him, we will also live together with Him; ¹² if we endure, we will also reign together with Him; if we will deny Him, He also will deny us;

⁹ If we should confess our sins, He is faithful and just, that He may forgive us our sins and might cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

⁷¹ And having gone out to the porch, another saw him, and says to those there, “This man was with Jesus of Nazareth.” ⁷² And again he denied it with an oath, “I do not know the man.”

⁶⁹ And the servant girl, having seen him, began to say again to those standing by, “This is one of them.” ⁷⁰ But he denied it again. And after a little, again those standing by were saying to Peter, “Truly you are of them, for you also are a Galilean.”

⁷³ And after a little while those standing by having approached, said to Peter, “Surely you are of them also, for even your speech gives you away.” ⁷⁴ Then he began to curse and to swear, “I do not know the man!” And immediately a rooster crowed.

³⁴ And He said, “I tell you Peter, the rooster will not crow today until you will deny three times knowing Me.”

³⁰ And immediately Jesus, having known in Himself the power having gone forth out of Him, having turned in the crowd, said, “Who touched My garments?”

¹³ And the Lord having seen her, was moved with compassion on her and said to her, “Do not weep.”

³¹ God exalted Him to His right hand as Prince and Savior, to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins.

¹¹ Therefore remember that formerly you—the Gentiles in the flesh, the ones being called the uncircumcision by that being called the circumcision, made by hands in the flesh—

⁵ Remember therefore from where you have fallen, and repent, and do the first works. But if not, I am coming to you, and I will remove your lampstand out of its place, unless you should repent.

⁴ Blessed are those mourning, for they will be comforted.

¹² Therefore the one thinking to stand, let him take heed, lest he fall.

⁹ Now I rejoice, not that you were grieved, but that you were grieved into repentance. For you were grieved according to God, so that you might suffer loss in nothing through us. ¹⁰ For grief according to God produces repentance to salvation without regret; but the world’s grief produces death. ¹¹ For behold, how much earnestness this very same thing—to have been grieved according to God—has produced in you: but reasoned defense, but indignation, but fear, but longing, but zeal, but vindication! In everything, you have proved yourselves to be innocent in this matter.

⁵⁹ And the chief priests and the whole Council were seeking false evidence against Jesus, so that they might put Him to death. ⁶⁰ But they did not find any, of many false witnesses having come forward. And at last, two having come forward, ⁶¹ they said, “This man has been saying, ‘I am able to destroy the temple of God and to rebuild it in three days.’” ⁶² And the high priest having stood up, said to Him, “Answer you nothing? What do these witness against you?” ⁶³ But Jesus was silent. And the high priest said to Him, “I adjure you by the living God, that You tell us if You are the Christ, the Son of God.” ⁶⁴ Jesus says to him, “You have said. But I say to you, from now on you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of Power and coming upon the clouds of heaven.” ⁶⁵ Then the high priest tears his garments, saying, “He has blasphemed; why do we have any more need of witnesses? Behold now, you have heard the blasphemy. ⁶⁶ What do you think?” And answering they said, “He is deserving of death.” ⁶⁷ Then they spat in His face and struck Him. And others slapped Him, ⁶⁸ saying, “Prophesy to us, Christ, who is the one having struck You?”

²⁸ And having stripped Him, they put a scarlet robe around Him. ²⁹ And having twisted together a crown of thorns, they put it on His head, and a reed in His right hand; and having bowed the knees before Him, they mocked Him, saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!” ³⁰ And having spit upon Him, they took the reed and kept striking Him on His head. ³¹ And when they had mocked Him, they took off Him the robe, and they put His garments on Him and led away Him to crucify Him.

³⁹ And those passing by kept railing at Him, wagging their heads ⁴⁰ and saying, “The One destroying the temple and building it in three days, save Yourself! If You are the Son of God, also descend from the cross!” ⁴¹ Likewise also, the chief priests with the scribes and elders, mocking, were saying, ⁴² “He saved others. He is not able to save Himself. He is King of Israel! Let Him descend now from the cross, and we will believe in Him. ⁴³ He trusted on God. Let Him deliver Him now if He wants. For He said, ‘I am the Son of God.’” ⁴⁴ And likewise even the robbers, those having been crucified with Him, were upbraiding Him.

⁵⁵ And the chief priests and all the Council were seeking testimony against Jesus to put Him to death, but they were not finding any. ⁵⁶ For many were bearing false testimony against Him, but their testimonies were not alike. ⁵⁷ And some having risen up, were bearing false testimony against Him, saying, ⁵⁸ “We heard Him saying, ‘I will destroy this temple, the one made with hands, and in three days I will build another, not made with hands.’” ⁵⁹ And their testimony was thus not alike. ⁶⁰ And the high priest having stood up in the midst, questioned Jesus, saying, “Do You not answer? What is it these testify against You?” ⁶¹ But He was silent, and did not answer. Again the high priest was questioning Him, and says to Him, “Are You the Christ, the Son of the Blessed One?” ⁶² And Jesus said, “I am. And you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of Power and coming with the clouds of heaven.” ⁶³ And the high priest, having torn his garments, says, “Why have we need of witnesses? ⁶⁴ You heard the blasphemy. What does it appear to you?” And all condemned Him to be deserving of death. ⁶⁵ And some began to spit upon Him, and to cover up His face, and to strike Him and to say to Him, “Prophesy!” And the officers struck Him with the palms.

¹⁶ And the soldiers led Him away into the palace, that is the Praetorium, and they call together the whole cohort. ¹⁷ And they put on Him purple, and having twisted together a crown of thorns, they placed it on Him, ¹⁸ and they began to salute Him, “Hail, King of the Jews!” ¹⁹ And they kept striking His head with a reed and spitting on Him; and bending the knees, they were kneeling down to Him. ²⁰ And when they had mocked Him, they took off Him the purple and put on Him His own garments. And they are leading Him out, that they might crucify Him.

²⁷ And with Him they crucify two robbers, one at the right hand, and one at His left. ^{28 29} And those passing by were railing at Him, shaking their heads and saying, “Aha! The One destroying the temple and building it in three days, ³⁰ save Yourself, having descended from the cross!” ³¹ Likewise also the chief priests, with the scribes, mocking among one another, were saying, “He saved others; He is not able to save Himself. ³² The Christ, the King of Israel, let Him descend now from the cross, that we might see and believe!” And those being crucified with Him were upbraiding Him.

²² Now of His having said these things, one of the officers standing by gave a blow with the palm to Jesus, having said, “Do You answer the high priest this way?”

² looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who in view of the joy lying before Him endured the cross, having despised its shame, and sat down at right hand of the throne of God.

²³ Who being reviled did not retaliate; suffering did not threaten, but He gave Himself over to Him judging justly.

³¹ Because of this I say to you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men; but blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven. ³² And if anyone speaks a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him; but if anyone speaks against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven him, neither in this age nor in the coming one.

³⁹ And those passing by kept railing at Him, wagging their heads

¹⁰ And everyone who will speak a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him; but the one having blasphemed against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven.

¹¹ And in all the synagogues, punishing them often, I was compelling them to blaspheme. And being exceedingly furious against them, I kept persecuting them even as far as to foreign cities,

¹³ being formerly a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and insolent; but I was shown mercy, because I did it in unbelief, being ignorant. ¹⁴ And the grace of our Lord surpassingly increased with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus.

²² But I say to you that everyone being angry with his brother will be liable to the judgment, and whoever shall say to his brother ‘Raca,’ will be liable to the Sanhedrin. But whoever shall say, ‘Fool!’ will be liable to the Gehenna of fire.

¹ And morning having arrived, all the chief priests and the elders of the people took counsel against Jesus, so that they might put Him to death.

¹ And early in the morning, having formed a counsel, the chief priests, with the elders and scribes and the whole Council, having bound Jesus, led Him away and delivered Him to Pilate.

²⁸ Then they are leading Jesus from Caiaphas into the Praetorium. Now it was early, and they did not enter into the Praetorium, so that they should not be defiled, but might eat the Passover.

⁵ as also the high priest and the whole elderhood bears witness to me, from whom also having received letters to the brothers, I was on my way to Damascus to bring also those being there, bound to Jerusalem, in order that they might be punished.

³ said to Him, “Are You the coming One, or are we to look for another?” ⁴ And Jesus answering, said to them, “Having gone, relate to John what you hear and see: ⁵ The blind receive sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, and the dead are raised, and the poor are gospelized.

⁶¹ But He was silent, and did not answer. Again the high priest was questioning Him, and says to Him, “Are You the Christ, the Son of the Blessed One?” ⁶² And Jesus said, “I am. And you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of Power and coming with the clouds of heaven.” ⁶³ And the high priest, having torn his garments, says, “Why have we need of witnesses? ⁶⁴ You heard the blasphemy. What does it appear to you?” And all condemned Him to be deserving of death. ⁶⁵ And some began to spit upon Him, and to cover up His face, and to strike Him and to say to Him, “Prophesy!” And the officers struck Him with the palms. ⁶⁶ And Peter being below in the courtyard, one of the servant girls of the high priest comes,

³¹ But he said to him, ‘If they do not hear Moses and the prophets, not even will they be persuaded if one should rise out from the dead.’”

³⁹ You diligently search the Scriptures because you think to have eternal life in them, and these are they bearing witness concerning Me; ⁴⁰ and you are not willing to come to Me, that you may have life. ⁴¹ I do not take glory from men, ⁴² but I have known you, that you do not have the love of God in yourselves. ⁴³ I have come in My Father’s name, and you do not receive Me; if another should come in the own name, you will receive him. ⁴⁴ How are you able to believe, receiving glory from one another, and you do not seek the glory that is from the only God? ⁴⁵ Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father. There is one accusing you: Moses, in whom you have hoped. ⁴⁶ For if you were believing Moses, you would have believed Me; for he wrote concerning Me. ⁴⁷ And unless you believe his writings, how will you believe My words?”

⁴³ Why do you not understand My speech? Because you are not able to hear My word. ⁴⁴ You are of your father the devil, and you desire to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and has not stood in the truth, because there is no truth in him. Whenever he might speak falsehood, he speaks from the own; for he is a liar, and the father of it. ⁴⁵ Now because I speak the truth, you do not believe Me!

²⁷ He answered them, “I told you already, and you did not listen. Why do you wish to hear again? Do you wish to become His disciples also?” ²⁸ And they railed at him and said, “You are a disciple of that One, but we are disciples of Moses.

²⁴ Therefore the Jews encircled Him and were saying to Him, “Until when do You hold our soul in suspense? If You are the Christ, tell us plainly.” ²⁵ Jesus answered them, “I told you, and you do not believe. The works that I do in the name of My Father, these bear witness concerning Me. ²⁶ But you do not believe, because you are not from among My sheep.

³⁷ Although so many of His signs had been done before them, they did not believe in Him, ³⁸ so that word of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, that said: “Lord, who has believed our report? And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?” ³⁹ Because of this, they were not able to believe, for again Isaiah said: ⁴⁰ “He has blinded their eyes, and has hardened their heart, that they should not see with the eyes, and understand with the heart, and turn, and I will heal them.” ⁴¹ Isaiah said these things because he saw His glory and spoke concerning Him. ⁴² Nevertheless, indeed many even of the rulers believed in Him, but on account of the Pharisees they were not confessing, so that they might not be put out of the synagogue. ⁴³ For they loved the glory of men more than the glory of God.

³ And answering, He said to them, “I also will ask you one thing, and you tell Me: ⁴ The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or from men?” ⁵ And they reasoned among themselves, saying, “If we should say ‘From heaven,’ He will say, ‘Why did you not believe him?’ ⁶ But if we should say, ‘From men,’ all the people will stone us, for they are having been persuaded John to be a prophet.” ⁷ And they answered, they did not know from where.

⁴¹ And He said to them, “How do they declare the Christ to be Son of David? ⁴² For David himself says in the book of Psalms: ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at My right hand, ⁴³ until I place Your enemies, as a footstool of Your feet.”’ ⁴⁴ David therefore calls Him Lord, and how is He his son?”

⁴⁴ ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at My right hand, until I place Your enemies as a footstool for Your feet.”’

⁶⁴ Jesus says to him, “You have said. But I say to you, from now on you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of Power and coming upon the clouds of heaven.”

⁶² And Jesus said, “I am. And you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of Power and coming with the clouds of heaven.”

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

⁵⁵ But he being full of the Holy Spirit, having looked intently into heaven, saw the glory of God and Jesus standing at the right hand of God, ⁵⁶ and he said, “Behold, I see the heavens having been opened, and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God.”

²⁰ which He worked in Christ, having raised Him out from the dead, and having set Him at His right hand in the heavenly realms, ²¹ above every principality and authority and power and dominion, and every name being named, not only in this age, but also in the one coming. ²² And He put all things under His feet and gave Him to be head over all things to the church, ²³ which is His body, the fullness of the One filling all in all.

⁸ Therefore it says: “Having ascended on high, He led captive captivity, and gave gifts to men.” ⁹ Now what is “He ascended,” except that He also descended into the lower regions of the earth? ¹⁰ The One having descended is also the same one having ascended above all the heavens, so that He might fill all things.

¹ If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things above, where Christ is sitting at the right hand of God.

³ who, being the radiance of His glory and the exact expression of His substance, and upholding all things by the power of His word, through having made the purification of sins, sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high,

¹ Now the point of the things being spoken of is that we have such a high priest, who sat down at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens,

²² who is at the right hand of God, having gone into heaven, angels and authorities and powers having been subjected to Him.

¹ And he showed me a river of water of life, clear as crystal, flowing out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.

¹⁷ And behold, a voice out of the heavens, saying, “This is my Son, the beloved, in whom I was well pleased.”

³ And the one tempting, having come to Him, said “If You are Son of God, speak, that these stones may become loaves of bread.”

¹¹ Now Jesus stood before the governor, and the governor questioned Him, saying, “Are You the King of the Jews?” And Jesus said, “You say.”

⁴³ He trusted on God. Let Him deliver Him now if He wants. For He said, ‘I am the Son of God.’”

⁵⁴ And the centurion and those with him keeping guard over Jesus, having seen the earthquake and the things taking place, feared greatly, saying, “Truly this was God’s Son.”

² And Pilate questioned Him, “Are You the King of the Jews?” And answering, He says to him, “You have said.”

⁴¹ And demons also were going out from many, crying out and saying, “You are the Son of God.” And rebuking them, He did not allow them to speak, because they knew Him to be the Christ.

³ And Pilate questioned Him, saying, “Are You the King of the Jews?” And answering him, He was saying, “You say.”

³⁴ And I have seen and have borne witness that this is the Son of God.”

⁴⁹ Nathanael answered Him, “Rabbi, You are the Son of God; You are King of Israel.”

³⁰ I and the Father are one.”

³⁶ do you say of Him whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world, ‘You blaspheme,’ because I said, ‘I am Son of God’?

³⁷ Therefore Pilate said to Him, “Then You are a king?” Jesus answered, “You say that I am a king. For this I have been born, and for this I have come into the world, that I may bear witness to the truth. Everyone being of the truth hears My voice.”

⁷ The Jews answered him, “We have a law, and according to the law He ought to die, because He made Himself the Son of God.”

⁶⁵ Then the high priest tears his garments, saying, “He has blasphemed; why do we have any more need of witnesses? Behold now, you have heard the blasphemy. ⁶⁶ What do you think?” And answering they said, “He is deserving of death.”

⁶³ And the high priest, having torn his garments, says, “Why have we need of witnesses? ⁶⁴ You heard the blasphemy. What does it appear to you?” And all condemned Him to be deserving of death.
