Mark 8 Cross References - BLB

¹ In those days, of the crowd again being great and not having what they might eat, having summoned the disciples, He says to them, ² “I am moved with compassion upon the crowd, because they continue with Me three days already, and have nothing that they might eat. ³ And if I shall send them away hungry to their homes, they will faint on the way. For some of them are come from afar.” ⁴ And His disciples answered Him, “From where will anyone be able to satisfy these with bread, here in this desolate place?” ⁵ And He was asking them, “How many loaves do you have?” And they said, “Seven.” ⁶ And He directs the crowd to recline on the ground.

Do you not yet perceive nor understand? Do you have your heart hardened? ¹⁸ ‘Having eyes, do you not see?

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.

⁷ Philip answered Him, “Two hundred denarii worth of loaves are not sufficient for them, that each might receive one little piece.” ⁸ One of His disciples, Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, says to Him, ⁹ “Here is a little boy who has five barley loaves and two small fish, but what are these for so many?”

³⁵ And having commanded the crowds to sit down on the ground, ³⁶ having taken the seven loaves and the fish, and having given thanks, He broke them and kept giving them to the disciples, and the disciples to the crowd.

²⁶ Now as they were eating, Jesus, having taken bread and having blessed it, broke it, and having given it to the disciples, He said, “Take, eat; this is My body.”

⁵ His mother says to the servants, “Whatever He may say to you, do it.”

¹⁰ Jesus said, “Make the men to recline.” Now there was much grass in the place; therefore the men reclined, about five thousand in number. ¹¹ And Jesus took the loaves, and having given thanks, He distributed to those reclining; likewise also of the fish, as much as they wished.

²³ (but other boats from Tiberias came near the place where they ate the bread, the Lord having given thanks),

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.

³⁰ If I partake with thankfulness, why am I denounced for that which I give thanks? ³¹ Therefore whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do all things to the glory of God.

⁵ Therefore Jesus says to them, “Children do you have any food?” They answered Him, “No.”

⁸ Now the other disciples came in the boat, dragging the net with the fish, for they were not far from the land, but about two hundred cubits away. ⁹ So when they got out onto the land, they see a fire of coals lying, and a fish lying on it, and bread.

¹⁰ Nor the seven loaves for the four thousand, and how many baskets you gathered?

¹⁹ When I broke the five loaves for the five thousand, how many hand-baskets full of fragments did you take up?” They say to Him, “Twelve.” ²⁰ “And when the seven were to the four thousand, how many baskets full of fragments did you take up?” And they said, “Seven.”

⁵³ He has filled those hungering with good things, and those being rich He has sent away empty.

²⁷ Do not work for the food that is perishing, but for the food enduring unto eternal life, which the Son of Man will give to you; for God the Father has sealed Him.”

³² Therefore Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, Moses has not given you the bread from heaven, but My Father gives you the true bread from heaven. ³³ For the bread of God is the One coming out of heaven and giving life to the world.” ³⁴ Therefore they said to Him, “Sir, always give to us this bread.” ³⁵ Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life; the one coming to Me never shall hunger, and the one believing in Me never shall thirst at any time.

⁴⁷ Truly, truly, I say to you, the one believing has eternal life. ⁴⁸ I am the bread of life. ⁴⁹ Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness and died. ⁵⁰ This is the bread coming down from heaven, that anyone may eat of it and not die. 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.” ⁵² Therefore the Jews were arguing with one another, saying, “How is this man able to give us His flesh to eat?” ⁵³ Therefore Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you shall have eaten the flesh of the Son of Man, and shall have drunk His blood, you do not have life in yourselves. ⁵⁴ The one eating My flesh and drinking My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up in the last day. ⁵⁵ For My flesh is true food, and My blood is true drink. ⁵⁶ The one eating My flesh and drinking My blood abides in Me, and I in him. ⁵⁷ As the living Father sent Me and I live because of the Father, so also the one feeding on Me, he also will live because of Me. ⁵⁸ This is the bread having come down from heaven, not as the fathers ate and died. The one eating this bread will live to the age.”

¹⁶ they will not hunger any more, neither will they thirst anymore, nor shall the sun at all fall upon them, nor any scorching heat; ¹⁷ because the Lamb in the center of the throne will shepherd them, and He will lead them to fountains living of waters, and God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.’”

³⁹ And having dismissed the crowds, He entered into the boat and came to the region of Magadan.

³⁸ Then some of the scribes and Pharisees answered him, saying “Teacher, we wish to see a sign from You.”

¹ And the Pharisees and Sadducees having approached testing Him, asked Him to show them a sign out of heaven. ² And answering He said to them, “Evening having come, you say, ‘Fair weather, for the sky is red,’ ³ and in the morning, ‘Today a storm, for the sky is red, being overcast.’ Indeed you know how to discern the appearance of the sky, but the signs of the times you are not able! ⁴ An evil and adulterous generation seeks a sign, but no sign will be given to it except the sign of Jonah.” And having left them, He went away. ⁵ And the disciples, having come to the other side, forgot to take bread. ⁶ And Jesus said to them, “Watch and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.” ⁷ And they were reasoning among themselves, saying, “It is because we did not take bread.” ⁸ But having known this, Jesus said, “Why do you reason among yourselves, you of little faith, because you did not take bread? ⁹ Do you not yet understand, nor remember the five loaves for the five thousand, and how many hand-baskets you gathered? ¹⁰ Nor the seven loaves for the four thousand, and how many baskets you gathered? ¹¹ How do you not understand that I did not speak to you concerning bread, but to beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees?” ¹² Then they understood that He did not say to beware of the leaven of bread, but of the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.

³ And Pharisees came to Him, testing Him and saying, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for every cause?”

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?”

¹⁵ Then the Pharisees having gone out, took counsel how they might trap Him in His words.

¹⁸ But having known their malice, Jesus said, “Hypocrites, why do you test Me?

²³ On that day Sadducees, those saying there is no resurrection, came to Him, and they questioned Him,

³⁴ And the Pharisees, having heard that He had silenced the Sadducees, were gathered together the same. ³⁵ And one of them, a lawyer, questioned Him, testing Him,

¹⁶ And the scribes of the Pharisees, having seen Him eating with the sinners and tax collectors, were saying to His disciples, “Why does He eat with the tax collectors and sinners?”

¹ And the Pharisees and some of the scribes, having come from Jerusalem, are gathered together to Him. ² And they had seen that some of His disciples are eating the bread with defiled, that is, unwashed hands.

¹⁵ And knowing their hypocrisy, He said to them, “Why do you test Me? Bring Me a denarius, that I might see it.”

²⁵ And behold, a certain lawyer stood up, testing Him, saying, “Teacher, what having done, will I inherit eternal life?”

¹⁶ And others, testing, were seeking from Him a sign from heaven.

⁵³ Of Him having gone forth from there, the scribes and the Pharisees began urgently to press upon Him and to make Him speak about many things, ⁵⁴ watching to catch Him in something out of his mouth.

⁵⁴ And also He was saying to the crowds, “When you see a cloud rising up from the west, immediately you say, ‘A shower is coming,’ and so it happens. ⁵⁵ And when a south wind is blowing, you say, ‘There will be heat,’ and it happens. ⁵⁶ Hypocrites! You know how to discern the appearance of the earth and of the sky, but how do you not know to discern this time? ⁵⁷ And why do you not even judge for yourselves what is right?

⁴⁸ Therefore Jesus said to him, “Unless you people see signs and wonders, you will never believe.”

³⁰ Therefore they said to Him, “Then what sign are You doing, that we may see and may believe You? What work do You perform?

⁴⁸ Has any of the rulers or of the Pharisees believed on Him?

⁹ But Peter said to her, “Why is it that you have agreed together to test the Spirit of the Lord? Behold, the feet of those having buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out.”

²² Forasmuch as both Jews ask for signs, and Greeks seek wisdom, ²³ we, however, preach Christ having been crucified, a stumbling block indeed to the Jewish and foolishness to Gentiles,

⁹ Neither should we test the Christ, as some of them tested, and were destroyed by serpents.

³⁹ And answering He said to them, “An evil and adulterous generation seeks for a sign, and no sign will be given to it, except the sign of Jonah the prophet. ⁴⁰ For just as Jonah was in the belly of the great fish three days and three nights, so the Son of Man will be in the heart of the earth three days and three nights.

⁴ An evil and adulterous generation seeks a sign, but no sign will be given to it except the sign of Jonah.” And having left them, He went away.

⁵ And having looked around on them with anger, being grieved at the hardness of their heart, He says to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” And he stretched it out, and his hand was restored.

⁶ And He was amazed because of their unbelief. And He was going around the villages, teaching.

³⁴ and having looked up to heaven He sighed deeply, and He says to him, “Ephphatha!” (that is, “Be opened!”).

¹⁹ And answering him He says, “O unbelieving generation! Until when will I be with you? Until when will I bear with you? Bring him to Me.”

²⁹ And of the crowds being pressed around together, He began to say, “This generation is an evil generation; it seeks after a sign, and no sign will be given to it, except the sign of Jonah. ³⁰ For as Jonah was a sign to the Ninevites, thus also the Son of Man will be to this generation.

²⁹ But Abraham says, ‘They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.’ ³⁰ And he said, ‘No, father Abraham, but if one from the dead should go to them, they will repent.’ 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.’”

⁴¹ And as He drew near, having seen the city, He wept over it,

⁶⁷ “If You are the Christ, tell us.” And He said to them, “If I should tell you, you would not believe, ⁶⁸ and if I should ask you, you would not answer. ⁶⁹ But from now on the Son of Man will be sitting at the right hand of the power of God.” ⁷⁰ And they all said, “Are You then the Son of God?” And He was saying to them, “You say that I am.”

³³ Therefore Jesus, when He saw her weeping and the Jews having come with her weeping, was deeply moved in spirit and Himself troubled. ³⁴ And He said, “Where have you laid him?” They say to Him, “Lord, come and see.” ³⁵ Jesus wept. ³⁶ Therefore the Jews were saying, “Behold how He loved him!” ³⁷ But some of them said, “Was not this man having opened the eyes of the blind able to have caused that this one also should not have died?” ³⁸ So Jesus, being deeply moved in Himself again, comes to the tomb. Now it was a cave, and a stone was lying against it.

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.

⁶ Do not give that which is holy to the dogs, nor cast your pearls before the pigs, lest they shall trample upon them with their feet, and having turned, tear you to pieces.

¹⁴ Leave them! They are blind guides of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both will fall into a pit.”

³⁷ And all the multitude of the surrounding region of the Gerasenes asked Him to depart from them, because they were seized with great fear. And He, having entered into the boat, turned back.

²¹ Then He said to them again, “I am going away and you will seek Me, and you will die in your sin. Where I go, you are not able to come.”

³⁶ While you have the light, believe in the light, so that you may become sons of light.” Jesus spoke these things, and having gone away, He was hidden from them.

⁴⁵ But the Jews, having seen the crowds, were filled with jealousy, and began contradicting the things spoken by Paul, blaspheming. ⁴⁶ And Paul and Barnabas, having spoken boldly, said, “It was necessary for the word of God to be spoken first to you. But since you thrust it away and do not judge yourselves worthy of eternal life, behold, we are turning to the Gentiles.

⁶ But of them opposing and reviling him, having shaken out the garments, he said to them, “Your blood be upon your head; I am clean. From now on I will go to the Gentiles.”

⁵ And the disciples, having come to the other side, forgot to take bread.

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

⁶ And Jesus said to them, “Watch and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.”

¹⁵ Then the Pharisees having gone out, took counsel how they might trap Him in His words. ¹⁶ And they send their disciples to Him, with the Herodians, saying, “Teacher, we know that You are true, and You teach the way of God in the truth, and to You there is care about no one, for You do not look on the appearance of men. ¹⁷ Therefore tell us, what do You think? Is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar, or not?” ¹⁸ But having known their malice, Jesus said, “Hypocrites, why do you test Me?

¹³ And they send some of the Pharisees and Herodians to Him, that they might catch Him in discourse.

¹ In these times, the myriads of the crowd having been gathered together so as to trample upon one another, He began to say to His disciples first, “Take heed to yourselves of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy. ² And nothing is concealed up which will not be revealed, nor hidden which will not be known.

¹⁵ And He said to them, “Beware, and keep yourselves from all covetousness; for not to anyone is his life in the abundance of that which he possesses.”

⁶ Your boasting is not good. Do you not know that a little leaven leavens the whole lump? ⁷ Cleanse out the old leaven, that you may be a new lump, as you are, unleavened. For also Christ our Passover lamb has been sacrificed, ⁸ so that we might celebrate the feast, not with old leaven, not with leaven of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and of truth.

²¹ I earnestly testify before God and Christ Jesus and the elect angels that you should keep these things apart from prejudice, doing nothing out of partiality.

¹³ I charge you before God, the One giving life to all things, and Christ Jesus, the One having testified the good confession before Pontius Pilate,

¹⁴ Remind them these things, solemnly charging them before God not to quarrel about words, for nothing profitable but to the subversion of those hearing.

⁷ And they were reasoning among themselves, saying, “It is because we did not take bread.” ⁸ But having known this, Jesus said, “Why do you reason among yourselves, you of little faith, because you did not take bread?

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

⁵ And they reasoned among themselves, saying, “If we should say ‘From heaven,’ He will say, ‘Why did you not believe him?’

¹⁷ Do you not yet understand that everything entering into the mouth goes into the stomach, and is cast out into the sewer?

⁸ But having known this, Jesus said, “Why do you reason among yourselves, you of little faith, because you did not take bread? ⁹ Do you not yet understand, nor remember the five loaves for the five thousand, and how many hand-baskets you gathered?

⁸ And immediately Jesus, having known in His spirit that they are reasoning thus within themselves, says to them, “Why do you reason these things in your hearts?

¹⁴ And afterward, as they were reclining, He appeared to the eleven and rebuked their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they did not believe those having seen Him arisen.

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

²⁴ But Jesus on His part did not did entrust Himself to them, because of His knowing all men, ²⁵ and because He had no need that anyone should testify concerning man, for He Himself knew what was in man.

³⁰ Now we know that You know all things, and have no need that anyone should ask You. In this we believe that You came forth from God.”

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.

¹² For the word of God is living and active, and sharper than any two-edged sword, penetrating even as far as the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrows, and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart. ¹³ And there is no creature hidden before Him, but all things are uncovered and laid bare to the eyes of Him to whom is our reckoning.

¹¹ Concerning this there is much speech from us, and difficult in interpretation to speak, since you have become sluggish in the hearings. ¹² For even by the time you ought to be teachers, you have need of one to teach you again what is the beginning of the principles of the oracles of God; and you have become those having need of milk, and not of solid food.

²³ And I will kill her children with death, and all the churches will know that I am the One searching affections and hearts; and I will give to each of you according to your works.

¹⁴ And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah, saying: ‘In hearing you will hear and never understand; and in seeing you will see and never perceive. ¹⁵ For the heart of this people has grown dull, and they barely hear with the ears, and they have closed their eyes, lest ever they should see with the eyes, and they should hear with the ears, and they should understand with the heart, and should turn, and I will heal them.’

¹² so that, ‘Seeing, they might see and not perceive; and hearing, they might hear and not understand; lest ever they should turn, and they should be forgiven.’”

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.”

²⁶ saying: ‘Go to this people and say, “In hearing you will hear and never understand; and in seeing you will see and never perceive.” ²⁷ For the heart of this people has grown dull, and with the ears they barely hear, and they have closed their eyes, lest ever they should see with the eyes, and they should hear with the ears, and they should understand with the heart, and should turn, and I will heal them.’

⁸ as it has been written: “God gave them a spirit of stupor, eyes not to see, and ears not to hear, unto this very day.”

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.

¹⁷ And they say to Him, “We have here only five loaves and two fish.” ¹⁸ And He said, “Bring them here to Me.” ¹⁹ And having commanded the crowds to sit down on the grass, having taken the five loaves and the two fish, having looked up to heaven, He spoke a blessing. And having broken, He gave the loaves to the disciples, and the disciples to the crowds. ²⁰ And all ate and were satisfied, and they took up that being over and above of the fragments, twelve hand-baskets full. ²¹ And those eating were about five thousand men, besides women and children.

¹² And the day began to decline, and the Twelve having come, said to Him, “Dismiss the crowd, that having gone into the surrounding villages and countryside, they might lodge and might find provisions; for we are in a desolate place here.” ¹³ And He said to them, “You give to them to eat.” But they said, “There are no more than five loaves to us, and two fish, unless we, having gone, should buy food for all this people.” ¹⁴ For they were about five thousand men. And He said to His disciples, “Make them sit down in groups of about fifty.” ¹⁵ And they did so and made all sit down. ¹⁶ And having taken the five loaves and the two fish, having looked up to the heaven, He blessed and broke them, and He kept giving them to the disciples to set before the crowd. ¹⁷ And they all ate and were satisfied; and that having been a surplus to them was taken up, twelve hand-baskets of fragments.

⁵ Then Jesus, having lifted up the eyes and having seen that a great crowd is coming to Him, says to Philip, “From where shall we buy bread that these might eat?” ⁶ Now He was saying this testing him, for He knew what He was about to do. ⁷ Philip answered Him, “Two hundred denarii worth of loaves are not sufficient for them, that each might receive one little piece.” ⁸ One of His disciples, Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, says to Him, ⁹ “Here is a little boy who has five barley loaves and two small fish, but what are these for so many?” ¹⁰ Jesus said, “Make the men to recline.” Now there was much grass in the place; therefore the men reclined, about five thousand in number.

³⁴ And Jesus says to them, “How many loaves do you have?” And they said, “Seven, and a few small fish.” ³⁵ And having commanded the crowds to sit down on the ground, ³⁶ having taken the seven loaves and the fish, and having given thanks, He broke them and kept giving them to the disciples, and the disciples to the crowd. ³⁷ And all ate and were satisfied, and they took up that being over and above of the fragments, seven baskets full. ³⁸ And those eating were four thousand men, besides women and children.

¹ In those days, of the crowd again being great and not having what they might eat, having summoned the disciples, He says to them, ² “I am moved with compassion upon the crowd, because they continue with Me three days already, and have nothing that they might eat. ³ And if I shall send them away hungry to their homes, they will faint on the way. For some of them are come from afar.” ⁴ And His disciples answered Him, “From where will anyone be able to satisfy these with bread, here in this desolate place?” ⁵ And He was asking them, “How many loaves do you have?” And they said, “Seven.” ⁶ And He directs the crowd to recline on the ground. And having taken the seven loaves, having given thanks, He broke them and kept giving them to His disciples, that they might set before them. And they set it before the crowd. ⁷ And they had a few small fish. And having blessed them, He ordered these also to be set before them. ⁸ And they ate and were satisfied. And they took up seven baskets of fragments over and above. ⁹ And there were about four thousand. And He sent them away.

¹² And having sighed deeply in His spirit, He says, “Why does this generation seek a sign? Truly I say to you, no sign will be given to this generation.”

¹⁷ And having known, He says to them, “Why do you reason because you have no loaves? Do you not yet perceive nor understand? Do you have your heart hardened?

⁹ Jesus says to him, “Am I with you so long a time, and you have not known Me, Philip? The one having seen Me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’?

⁵ I say this to you for shame. Thus is there not one wise man among you who will be able to decide in between his brother?

³⁴ Sober up righteously and do not sin, for some have ignorance of God. I speak to your shame.

³ And having stretched out the hand, He touched him saying, “I am willing; be you cleansed!” And immediately his leprosy was cleansed.

¹⁵ And He touched her hand and the fever left her; and she arose and was ministering unto them.

²⁹ Then He touched their eyes, saying, “According to your faith be it to you.”

²¹ “Woe to you Chorazin! Woe to you Bethsaida! For if the miracles having taken place in you had taken place in Tyre and Sidon, then they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.

³ And they come, bringing to Him a paralytic, being carried by four.

²⁷ having heard concerning Jesus, having come up in the crowd behind, she touched His clothing. ²⁸ For she was saying, “If I shall touch even His garments, I will be healed.” ²⁹ And immediately her flow of blood was dried up, and she knew in the body that she was healed from the affliction.

⁴⁵ And immediately He compelled His disciples to enter into the boat and to go before Him to the other side, to Bethsaida, until He should dismiss the crowd.

⁵⁵ they ran through all that country, and they began to carry about on mats those being sick to wherever they were hearing that He is. ⁵⁶ And wherever He entered into villages or into cities or into fields, they were laying the ailing in the marketplaces and were begging Him that only they might touch the fringe of His clothing; and as many as touched Him were being healed.

¹⁰ And having returned, the apostles related to Him whatever they had done. And having taken them, He withdrew by Himself into a town called Bethsaida.

¹³ Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the miracles having taken place in you had taken place in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.

⁴⁴ Now Philip was from Bethsaida, from the city of Andrew and Peter.

²¹ Therefore these came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida of Galilee, and they were asking him, saying, “Sir, we desire to see Jesus.”

²³ and he begs Him much, saying, “My little daughter is holding at the end, that having come, You would lay the hands on her, so that she might be cured, and she shall live.”

³³ And having taken him away from the crowd privately, He put His fingers to his ears, and having spit, He touched his tongue,

⁶ Having said these things, He spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and applied the clay to his eyes. ⁷ And He said to him, “Go, wash in the pool of Siloam” (which means Sent). Therefore he went and washed, and came seeing. ⁸ And Saul rose up from the ground, but of his eyes having been opened, he could see nothing. And leading him by the hand, they brought him to Damascus.

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.

¹⁸ I counsel you to buy from Me gold having been refined by fire so that you may be rich, and white garments so that you may be clothed and the shame your of nakedness might not be made manifest, and eye-salve to anoint your eyes so that you may see.

⁹ For we know in part and we prophesy in part; ¹⁰ but when the perfect should come, the partial will be done away. ¹¹ When I was a child, I was speaking like a child, I was thinking like a child, I was reasoning like a child; when I became a man, I did away with the things of the child. ¹² For presently we see through a glass in obscurity; but then, face to face. Presently, I know in part; but then I will know fully, even as I have been fully known.

¹² For whoever has, to him will be given, and he will be in abundance. And whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.

⁶ being persuaded of this very thing, that the One having begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Christ Jesus.

⁹ But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for His possession, so that you may proclaim the excellencies of the One having called you out of darkness into His marvelous light,

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.

⁴ And Jesus says to him, “See that you tell no one. But go, show yourself to the priest and offer the gift that Moses commanded, for a testimony to them.”

³⁰ And their eyes were opened. And Jesus strictly instructed them, saying, “See that no one knows!”

¹⁶ and He warned them that they should not make Him known—

⁴³ And He instructed them strictly that no one should know this; and He commanded to be given to her to eat.

³⁶ And He instructed them that they should tell no one. But as much as He kept instructing them, they were proclaiming it more abundantly.

²³ And having taken hold of the hand of the blind man, He led him forth out of the village, and having spit upon his eyes, having laid the hands upon him, He was asking him if you see anything.

¹³ And Jesus having come into the district of Caesarea Philippi, He was questioning His disciples saying, “Whom do men pronounce the Son of Man to be?” ¹⁴ And they said, “Some indeed, John the Baptist; and others, Elijah; and others, Jeremiah or one of the prophets.” ¹⁵ He says to them, “But whom do you pronounce Me to be?” ¹⁶ And Simon Peter answering said, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” ¹⁷ And Jesus answering, said to him, “Blessed are you, Simon Barjona! For flesh and blood did not reveal it to you, but My Father in the heavens. 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. ¹⁹ I will give to you the keys of the kingdom of the heavens, and whatever you might bind on the earth shall have been bound in the heavens, and whatever you might loose on the earth shall have been loosed in the heavens.” ²⁰ Then He instructed the disciples that they should tell no one that He is the Christ.

¹⁸ And it came to pass as He was praying in solitary, the disciples were with Him, and He questioned them, saying, “Whom do the crowds pronounce Me to be?” ¹⁹ And answering, they said, “John the Baptist; and others, Elijah; and others, that a prophet, one of the ancients, has arisen.” ²⁰ And He said to them, “But whom do you pronounce Me to be?” And Peter answering said, “The Christ of God.”

² and he said to his servants, “This is John the Baptist; he is risen from the dead, and because of this, the miraculous powers are working in him.”

¹⁴ And they said, “Some indeed, John the Baptist; and others, Elijah; and others, Jeremiah or one of the prophets.”

¹⁴ And King Herod heard; for His name became well known. And people were saying, “John, the one baptizing, is risen out from the dead, and because of this the miraculous powers operate in him.” ¹⁵ But others were saying, “He is Elijah,” and others were saying, “A prophet, like one of the prophets.” ¹⁶ And Herod having heard, was saying, “John, whom I beheaded—he is risen!”

¹¹ And they were asking Him, saying, “The scribes say that it behooves Elijah to come first.” ¹² And He was saying to them, “Elijah indeed, having come first, restores all things; and how has it been written of the Son of Man, that He should suffer many things and be set at naught? ¹³ But I say to you, that also Elijah has come, and they did to him whatever they desired, as it has been written of him.”

⁷ And Herod the Tetrarch heard of all the things being done, and was perplexed, because it was said by some that John has been raised out from the dead, ⁸ and by some that Elijah had appeared, and by others that a prophet of the ancients had arisen. ⁹ And Herod said, “John I beheaded, but who is this concerning whom I hear such things?” And he was seeking to see Him.

²¹ And they asked him, “What then? Are you Elijah?” And he says, “I am not.” “Are you the prophet?” And he answered, “No.”

¹⁵ He says to them, “But whom do you pronounce Me to be?” ¹⁶ And Simon Peter answering said, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”

¹¹ And He was saying to them, “To you has been given the mystery of the kingdom of God, but to those who are outside, everything is done in parables,

²⁰ And He said to them, “But whom do you pronounce Me to be?” And Peter answering said, “The Christ of God.”

⁴¹ He first finds the own brother Simon and says to him, “We have found the Messiah” (which is translated Christ). ⁴² He led him to Jesus. Having looked at him, Jesus said, “You are Simon the son of Jonah. You will be called Cephas” (which means Peter). ⁴³ On the next day He desired to go forth into Galilee. And He finds Philip. And Jesus says to him, “Follow Me.” ⁴⁴ Now Philip was from Bethsaida, from the city of Andrew and Peter. ⁴⁵ Philip Finds Nathanael and says to him, “We have found Him whom Moses wrote of in the Law, also the prophets, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.” ⁴⁶ And Nathanael said to him, “Is any good thing able to be out of Nazareth?” Philip says to him, “Come and see.” ⁴⁷ Jesus saw Nathanael coming to Him, and He says concerning him, “Behold, truly an Israelite, in whom there is no deceit.” ⁴⁸ Nathanael says to Him, “From where do You know me?” Jesus answered and said to him, “Before Philip calling you, you being under the fig tree, I saw you.” ⁴⁹ Nathanael answered Him, “Rabbi, You are the Son of God; You are King of Israel.”

⁴² And they were saying to the woman, “No longer because of your speech do we believe; for we ourselves have heard, and we know that this is truly the Savior of the world.”

⁶⁹ And we have believed and have known that You are the Holy One of God.”

²⁷ She says to Him, “Yes, Lord; I have believed that You are the Christ, the Son of God, the One coming into the world.”

³⁶ And as they were going along the road they came upon some water, and the eunuch says, “Behold, water! What prevents me to be baptized?”

²⁰ And immediately he began proclaiming Jesus in the synagogues, that He is the Son of God.

⁷ Therefore the preciousness is to you believing. But to those disobeying, “The stone which those building have rejected, this has become into the head of the corner,”

¹⁵ Whoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God.

¹ Everyone believing that Jesus is the Christ has been born of God, and everyone loving the One having begotten Him also loves the one having been begotten from Him.

²⁰ Then He instructed the disciples that they should tell no one that He is the Christ.

²⁶ And He sent him to his home, saying, “You may not enter into the village.”

⁹ And as they were descending from the mountain, He instructed them that they should tell to no one what they had seen, except until the Son of Man had risen out from the dead.

²¹ And having strictly warned them, He instructed them to tell this to no one,

⁴⁰ For just as Jonah was in the belly of the great fish three days and three nights, so the Son of Man will be in the heart of the earth three days and three nights.

²¹ From that time Jesus began to show to His disciples that it is necessary for Him to go away to Jerusalem, and to suffer many things from the elders and chief priests and scribes, and to be killed, and to be raised on the third day. ²² And Peter having taken Him aside, began to rebuke Him, saying, “Far be it from You, Lord! This never will be to You!” ²³ And having turned, He said to Peter, “Get behind Me, Satan! You are a stumbling block to Me. For your thoughts are not of the things of God, but the things of men.” ²⁴ Then Jesus said His to disciples, “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. ²⁵ For whoever might desire to save his life will lose it; but whoever might lose his life on account of Me will find it. ²⁶ For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, but loses his soul? Or what will a man give as an exchange for his soul? ²⁷ For the Son of Man is about to come in the glory His Father, with His angels, and then He will give to each according to his deeds. ²⁸ Truly I say to you, there are some of those standing here who shall not taste of death until they have seen the Son of Man coming in His kingdom.”

²² And while they were abiding in Galilee, Jesus said to them, “The Son of Man is about to be betrayed into the hands of men, ²³ and they will kill Him, and on the third day He will be raised up.” And they were deeply grieved.

¹⁷ And Jesus going up to Jerusalem, He took the twelve disciples aside themselves on the way, and said to them, ¹⁸ “Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be betrayed to the chief priests and scribes, and they will condemn Him to death. ¹⁹ And they will betray Him to the Gentiles to mock and to flog and to crucify; and the third day He will rise again.”

⁴² Jesus says to them, “Did you never read in the Scriptures: ‘The stone that those building rejected, this has become the chief corner. This was from the Lord, and it is marvelous in our eyes’?

³¹ for He was teaching His disciples. And He was saying to them, “The Son of Man is delivered into the hands of men, and they will kill Him; and having been killed, on the third day He will arise.” ³² And they did not understand the saying, and they were afraid to ask Him.

³³ “Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be betrayed to the chief priests and to the scribes, and they will condemn Him to death, and will betray Him to the Gentiles. ³⁴ And they will mock Him, and will spit upon Him, and will flog and will kill Him, and on the third day He will rise again.”

¹⁰ Have you not even read this Scripture: ‘The stone which those building rejected, this has become the chief corner;

²² having said, “It is necessary for the Son of Man to suffer many things, and to be rejected by the elders and chief priests and scribes, and to be killed, and on the third day to be raised.” ²³ And He was saying to all, “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and let him take up his cross every day, and let him follow Me. ²⁴ For whoever might desire to save his life will lose it; but whoever might lose his life on account of me, he will save it. ²⁵ For what is a man profited, having gained the whole world, and having destroyed or having suffered the loss of himself? ²⁶ For whoever may have been ashamed of Me and My words, the Son of Man will be ashamed of him when He shall come in His glory, and that of the Father and of the holy angels. ²⁷ And I say to you truthfully, there are some of those standing here who shall not taste of death until they shall have seen the kingdom of God.”

²⁵ But first it behooves Him to suffer many things, and to be rejected by this generation.

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. ³² For He will be betrayed to the Gentiles and will be mocked and will be insulted and will be spit upon. ³³ And having flogged Him, they will kill Him; and on the third day He will rise again.” ³⁴ And they understood none of these things, and this word was hidden from them, and they did not know the things being spoken.

⁶ He is not here, but He is risen! Remember how He spoke to you, being yet in Galilee, ⁷ saying, ‘It behooves the Son of Man to be delivered into hands of sinful men, and to be crucified, and the third day to arise.’”

²⁶ Was it not necessary for the Christ to suffer these things and to enter into His glory?”

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.”

¹⁹ Jesus answered and said to them, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.”

⁴⁸ The one rejecting Me and not receiving My words has one judging him: The word which I spoke, that will judge him in the last day.

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. ¹⁵ And you killed the Author of life, whom God has raised up out from the dead, whereof we are witnesses.

³⁵ This Moses whom they rejected, having said, ‘Who appointed you ruler and judge?’—him whom God sent and as ruler and redeemer by the hand of the angel having appeared to him in the bush—

⁵¹ You stiff-necked and uncircumcised in heart and ears always resist the Holy Spirit; as your fathers did, also do you. ⁵² Which of the prophets did your fathers not persecute? And they killed those having foretold about the coming of the Righteous One, of whom you have now become betrayers and murderers,

⁴ and that He was buried, and that He was raised the third day according to the Scriptures,

²² And Peter having taken Him aside, began to rebuke Him, saying, “Far be it from You, Lord! This never will be to You!”

³⁸ And He was in the stern, sleeping on the cushion. And they awaken Him and say to Him, “Teacher, is it no concern to You that we perish?”

⁴⁰ But Martha was distracted about much service; and having come up, she said, “Lord, is it not concerning to You that my sister has left me alone to serve? Therefore speak to her, that she might help me!”

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.”

²⁵ I have spoken these things to you in allegories; an hour is coming when I will speak to you no more in allegories, but I will report to you plainly concerning the Father.

²⁹ His disciples say, “Behold, now You speak in openness, and You do not speak allegory.

²⁰ Jesus answered him, “I have spoken openly to the world. I always taught in the synagogue and in the temple, where the Jews always come together; and I spoke nothing in secret.

¹⁰ Then Jesus says to him, “Get you away, Satan! For it has been written: ‘You shall worship the Lord your God, and Him alone shall you serve.’”

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.

²³ But He did not answer her a word. And His disciples having approached, were imploring Him, saying, “Dismiss her, for she cries out after us!”

³⁴ And having looked around on those who were sitting around Him in a circle, He says, “Behold, My mother and My brothers!

⁸ And Jesus answering, said to him, “It has been written: ‘You shall worship the Lord your God, and you shall serve Him only.’”

⁵⁵ And having turned, He rebuked them,

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.”

⁵ For those being according to flesh mind the things of the flesh; but those according to Spirit, the things of the Spirit. ⁶ For the mind of the flesh is death; but the mind of the Spirit, life and peace, ⁷ because the mind of the flesh is hostility toward God; for it is not subject to the Law of God, for not even can it be. ⁸ And those being in the flesh are not able to please God.

⁵ to deliver such a one to Satan for destruction of the flesh, so that his spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord.

¹⁹ whose end is destruction, whose God is the belly and glory is in their shame, those minding earthly things.

²⁰ But those sinning, rebuke before all, so that the rest might have fear as well.

¹³ This testimony is true, for which cause rebuke them severely, so that they may be sound in the faith,

¹⁵ This is not the wisdom coming down from above, but is earthly, unspiritual, demonic. ¹⁶ For where jealousy and self-interest exist, there will be disorder and every evil thing. ¹⁷ But the wisdom from above is indeed first pure, then peaceable, gentle, reasonable, full of mercy and of good fruits, impartial, sincere. ¹⁸ And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by those making peace.

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,

¹⁵ Do not love the world nor the things in the world. If anyone should love the world, the love of the Father is not in him,

¹⁹ As many as I might love, I rebuke and discipline; therefore be zealous and repent.

²⁹ And if your right eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out and cast it from you. For it is better for you that one of your members should perish and not that your whole body should be cast into Gehenna. ³⁰ And if your right hand causes you to stumble, cut it off and cast it from you, for it is better for you that one of your members should perish and not that your whole body should depart into Gehenna.

¹³ Enter through the narrow gate for wide is the gate and broad the way leading to destruction, and many are those entering through it. ¹⁴ For small is the gate and narrow the way leading to life, and few are those finding it.

³⁸ And he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me.

²⁴ Then Jesus said His to disciples, “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me.

³² And going forth, they found a man of Cyrene, named Simon. They compelled him that he might carry His cross.

¹⁴ And having summoned the crowd again, He was saying to them, “Listen to Me, all, and understand:

⁴³ And if your hand should cause you to stumble, cut it off; it is better for you to enter into life crippled, than having two hands to go away into Gehenna, into the unquenchable fire. ^{44 45} And if your foot should cause you to stumble, cut it off; it is better for you to enter into life lame, than having the two feet, to be cast into Gehenna. ^{46 47} And if your eye should cause you to stumble, cast it out; it is better for you to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes, to be cast into Gehenna, ⁴⁸ where ‘their worm does not die, and the fire is not quenched.’

²¹ And Jesus, having looked upon him, loved him and said to him, “One thing to you is lacking: Go, sell as much as you have, and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me.”

²³ And He was saying to all, “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and let him take up his cross every day, and let him follow Me.

²⁴ “Strive to enter in through the narrow door; for many, I say to you, will seek to enter in, and will not be able.

²⁶ “If anyone comes to Me, and does not hate his father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters and yes, even his life, he is not able to be My disciple. ²⁷ Whoever does not carry his cross and come after Me is not able to be My disciple.

³³ So therefore every one of you who does not give up all that he himself possesses, is not able to be My disciple.

²² And having heard, Jesus said to him, “To you, yet one thing is lacking: Sell all, as much as you have, and distribute to the poor, and you will have treasure in the heavens; and come, follow Me.”

⁴⁵ While all the people were listening, He said to His disciples,

²⁷ My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.

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.”

¹⁷ And bearing His own cross, He went out to the place called the Place of the Skull, which in Hebrew is called Golgotha,

¹⁹ Now He said this signifying by what death he will glorify God. And having said this, He says to him, “Follow Me.” ²⁰ Having turned, Peter sees the disciple whom Jesus loved following, the one who also had reclined on His bosom at the supper and said, “Lord, who is it who is betraying You?”

²² strengthening the souls of the disciples, exhorting them to continue in the faith and that “through many tribulations it behooves us to enter into the kingdom of God.”

⁶ knowing this, that our old man was crucified with Him, so that the body of sin might be annulled, that we are no longer enslaved to sin.

¹⁷ and if children, also heirs: heirs indeed of God, and joint-heirs of Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, so that we may also be glorified together.

¹ Now we who are strong ought to bear the weaknesses of the weak and not to please ourselves. ² Let each of us please the neighbor unto the good, for edification. ³ For even Christ did not please Himself, but as it has been written: “The reproaches of those reproaching You have fallen on Me.”

⁹ For I think God has exhibited us, the apostles, last, as appointed to death, because we have become a spectacle to the world, both to angels and to men. ¹⁰ We are fools on account of Christ, but you are wise in Christ; we are weak, but you are strong; You are honored, but we are without honor. ¹¹ As far as the present hour, we both hunger and thirst, and are poorly clad, and are buffeted, and wander homeless, ¹² and we toil, working with our own hands. Being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we endure; ¹³ being slandered, we entreat. We have become as the residue of the world, the refuse of all, until now.

¹³ Therefore, if food snares my brother, never shall not I eat meat to the age, so that I might not snare my brother.

¹⁹ For being free from all, I myself became servant to all, so that I might win the more.

³¹ I die every day, as surely as the boasting in you, brothers, which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord.

²⁰ I have been crucified with Christ, and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. And that which I now live in the flesh, I live through faith from the Son of God, the One having loved me and having given up Himself for me.

²⁴ Now those of Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.

¹⁴ But for me, may it be never to boast, except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me and I to the world.

⁷ But whatever things were gain to me, these I have esteemed loss because of Christ.

¹⁰ to know Him and the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death,

²⁴ Now I rejoice in the sufferings for you, and I am filling up in my flesh that which is lacking of the tribulations of Christ for His body, which is the church,

⁵ Therefore put to death the members which are upon the earth: sexual immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry,

¹¹ For we hear some among you are walking idly, not working at all, but being busybodies.

¹² instructing us that, having denied ungodliness and worldly passions, we should live discreetly and righteously and piously in the present age,

¹³ Therefore we should go forth to Him outside the camp, bearing His reproach.

¹³ But as you have shared in the sufferings of Christ, rejoice, so that also in the revelation of His glory you may rejoice, exulting.

¹⁴ knowing that the putting off of my tabernacle is impending, as also our Lord Jesus Christ has made clear to me.

¹⁶ By this we have known love, because He laid down His life for us; and we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers.

¹⁰ Do not fear what you are about to suffer. Behold, the devil is about to cast some of you into prison, so that you might be tested; and you shall have tribulation ten days. Be faithful unto death, and I will give to you the crown of life.

¹⁰ Blessed are those having been persecuted on account of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of the heavens. ¹¹ Blessed are you when they shall insult you and shall persecute you, and lying shall say all kinds of evil against you on account of Me. ¹² Rejoice and exult, because great is your reward in the heavens; for thus they persecuted the prophets before 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.

³⁹ The one having found his life will lose it, and the one having lost his life on account of Me will find it.

²⁵ For whoever might desire to save his life will lose it; but whoever might lose his life on account of Me will find it.

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.

²² Blessed are you when men shall hate you, and when they shall exclude you, and shall insult you, and shall cast out your name as evil, on account of the Son of Man. ²³ Rejoice in that day, and leap for joy; for behold, your reward is great in heaven. For their fathers according to these things used to treat the prophets likewise.

²⁴ For whoever might desire to save his life will lose it; but whoever might lose his life on account of me, he will save it.

³³ Whoever may seek to save his life will lose it; but whoever will lose it will preserve it.

²⁵ The one loving his life loses it, and the one hating his life in this world will keep it to eternal life. ²⁶ If anyone serves Me, let him follow Me; and where I am, there My servant will be also. If anyone serves Me, the Father will honor him.

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. ²¹ But they will do all these things against you on account of My name, because they have not known the One having sent Me.

¹⁶ For I will show to him how much it behooves him to suffer for My name.”

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.”

²³ Now I do all things on account of the gospel, that I might become a fellow partaker with it.

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.

⁸ Therefore you should not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me, His prisoner; but suffer together for the gospel, according to the power of God,

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; ¹³ if we are faithless, He remains faithful, for He is not able to deny Himself.

⁶ For already I am being poured out, and the time of my departure is come. ⁷ I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. ⁸ From now on the crown of righteousness is laid up for me, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will award to me in that day; but not only to me, but also to all those loving His appearing.

³⁵ Women received back their dead by resurrection; and others were tortured, not having accepted release, so that they might obtain a better resurrection.

¹² Beloved, do not be surprised at the fire among you taking place for a trial to you, as if a strange thing were happening to you. ¹³ But as you have shared in the sufferings of Christ, rejoice, so that also in the revelation of His glory you may rejoice, exulting. ¹⁴ If you are insulted in the name of Christ, you are blessed, because the Spirit of glory and of God rests upon you. ¹⁵ For let not any of you suffer as a murderer, or a thief, or an evildoer, or as a troublesome meddler, ¹⁶ but if as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but let him glorify God in this name.

¹⁴ And I said to him, “My lord, you know.” And he said to me, “These are the ones coming out of the great tribulation, and they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

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.

⁸ Again the devil takes Him to a mountain exceedingly high and shows to Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. ⁹ And he says to Him, “All these things I will give to You, if falling down, You will worship me.” ¹⁰ Then Jesus says to him, “Get you away, Satan! For it has been written: ‘You shall worship the Lord your God, and Him alone shall you serve.’”

²⁶ For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, but loses his soul? Or what will a man give as an exchange for his soul?

²⁵ For what is a man profited, having gained the whole world, and having destroyed or having suffered the loss of himself?

¹⁹ And I will say to my soul, “Soul, you have many good things laid up for many years; take your rest; eat, drink, be merry.”’ ²⁰ And God said to him, ‘Fool! This night, your soul is required of you; and what you did prepare—to whom will it be?’

¹⁹ And there was a certain rich man, and he was clothed in purple and fine linen, making good cheer in splendor every day. ²⁰ And a certain poor man named Lazarus, being full of sores, was laid at his gate ²¹ and desiring to be fed from that falling from the table of the rich man; but even the dogs, coming, were licking his sores. ²² And it came to pass that the poor man died, and he was carried away by the angels into the bosom of Abraham. And the rich man also died and was buried. ²³ And in Hades, having lifted up his eyes, being in torment, he sees Abraham from afar, and Lazarus in his bosom.

²¹ What fruit, therefore, did you have then in the things of which you are now ashamed? For the end of those things is death.

⁷ But whatever things were gain to me, these I have esteemed loss because of Christ. ⁸ But indeed, therefore, I also count all things to be loss because of the excelling knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, because of whom I have lost all things, and esteem them rubbish, that I may gain Christ ⁹ and be found in Him, not having my own righteousness which is of the Law, but that which is through faith from Christ, the righteousness of God on the basis of faith,

²⁴ By faith Moses, having become grown, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter, ²⁵ having chosen to suffer affliction with the people of God, rather than to have the fleeting enjoyment of sin, ²⁶ having esteemed the reproach of Christ greater wealth than the treasures of Egypt; for he was looking toward the reward.

⁹ But let the brother of low degree boast in his exaltation, ¹⁰ and he who is rich, in his humiliation, because he will pass away like a flower of grass. ¹¹ For the sun has risen with its burning heat and withered the grass, and its flower has fallen, and the beauty of its appearance has perished. Thus also the rich man will fade away in the midst of his pursuits.

⁷ So much as she has glorified herself and lived in luxury, give to her as much torment and misery, because in her heart she says, ‘I sit as a queen, and I am never a widow, and never shall I see mourning.’ ⁸ Because of this, her plagues will come in one day, death and misery and famine, and she will be burned up with fire, because mighty is the Lord God, the One having judged her.”

¹⁸ knowing that you were redeemed from your futile manner of life handed down from your fathers, not by perishable things—by silver or by gold— ¹⁹ but by the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot,

²⁰ And Jesus says to him, “Foxes have holes, and the birds of the air nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere He might lay the head.”

³² Therefore everyone who will confess in Me before men, I also will confess in him before My Father in the heavens. ³³ And whoever shall deny Me before men, I also will deny him before My Father in the heavens.

³⁹ And answering He said to them, “An evil and adulterous generation seeks for a sign, and no sign will be given to it, except the sign of Jonah the prophet.

⁴¹ The Son of Man will send forth His angels, and they will gather out of His kingdom all the stumbling blocks and those practicing lawlessness,

²⁷ For the Son of Man is about to come in the glory His Father, with His angels, and then He will give to each according to his deeds.

³⁰ And then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn. And they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven, with power and great glory.

³¹ And when the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the angels with Him, then He will sit upon His throne of glory.

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.”

²⁶ For whoever may have been ashamed of Me and My words, the Son of Man will be ashamed of him when He shall come in His glory, and that of the Father and of the holy angels.

⁸ And I say to you, everyone who will confess in Me before men, the Son of Man also will confess in him before the angels of God. ⁹ And the one having denied Me before men will be denied before the angels of God.

²⁶ ‘I say to you that to everyone having will be given, but from the one not having, even that which he has will be taken away.

¹⁴ And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us. And we beheld His glory, a glory as of an only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth.

⁵¹ And He says to him, “Truly, truly, I say to all of you, you will see the heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man.”

²⁷ And He gave Him authority to execute judgment, because He is the Son of Man.

³⁴ Then the crowd answered Him, “We have heard from the Law that Christ abides to the age, and how do you say that it behooves the Son of Man to be lifted up? Who is this Son of Man?”

⁴¹ Therefore indeed they departed from the presence of the Council, rejoicing that they had been counted worthy to suffer dishonor for the Name.

¹⁶ For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone believing—both to Jewish first, and to Greek.

⁷ so as for you to became an example to all the believing ones in Macedonia and in Achaia. ⁸ For not only has the word of the Lord sounded forth from you in Macedonia and in Achaia, but in every place your faith toward God has gone abroad, so as for us to have no need to say anything.

¹² For this reason I also suffer these things. But I am not ashamed, for I know whom I have believed, and I am persuaded that He is able to guard my deposit entrusted for that day.

¹⁶ May the Lord grant mercy to the household of Onesiphorus, because he refreshed me often, and he was not ashamed of my chain.

¹⁶ But now they stretch forward to a better one, that is, a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed of them, to be called their God; for He has prepared a city for them.

²⁶ having esteemed the reproach of Christ greater wealth than the treasures of Egypt; for he was looking toward the reward.

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. ³ For consider fully the One having endured such great hostility from sinners against Himself, so that you shall not grow weary, fainting in your souls.

⁴ Adulteresses! Do you not know that friendship with the world is hostility with God? Therefore whoever has chosen to be a friend of the world is appointed an enemy of God.

²³ Everyone denying the Son does not have the Father. The one confessing the Son has the Father also.

¹⁴ And Enoch, the seventh from Adam, also prophesied as to these, saying: “Behold, the Lord has come amidst myriads of His holy ones, ¹⁵ to execute judgment against all, and to convict all the ungodly concerning all the works of ungodliness which they have done in an ungodly way, and concerning all the harsh things that ungodly sinners have spoken against Him.”
