¹ At that time Herod the tetrarch heard the report about Jesus, ² and said to his servants, "This is John the Baptist; he has been raised from the dead, and therefore these powers are at work in him." ³ For Herod had laid hold of John and bound him, and put him in prison on account of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife. ⁴ For John said to him, "It is not lawful for you to have her." ⁵ Though desiring to kill him, he feared the crowd, because they counted him as a prophet. ⁶ Now when Herod's birthday was being celebrated, the daughter of Herodias danced before them, and she pleased Herod. ⁷ Therefore he promised with an oath to give her whatever she should ask. ⁸ So she, being urged on by her mother, said, "Give me here on a platter the head of John the Baptist." ⁹ And the king was grieved, but because of the oaths, and because of those who reclined to eat with him, he commanded it to be given. ¹⁰ And having sent, he beheaded John in the prison. ¹¹ And his head was brought on a platter and it was given to the girl, and she brought it to her mother. ¹² Then his disciples came forward and took the body and buried it, and coming, they reported it to Jesus. ¹³ When Jesus heard it, He withdrew from there in a boat for a deserted place privately. But when the crowds heard it, they followed Him on foot from the cities. ¹⁴ And coming out, Jesus saw a large crowd, and He was moved with compassion towards them, and healed their sick. ¹⁵ Now when evening came, His disciples came to Him, saying, "The place is deserted, and the hour is already late. Dismiss the crowds, that they may go to the villages and buy themselves food." ¹⁶ But Jesus said to them, "They do not need to go away. You give them food to eat." ¹⁷ And they said to Him, "We do not have anything here except five loaves of bread and two fish." ¹⁸ But He said, "Bring them here to Me." ¹⁹ And commanding the crowds to recline on the grass, taking the five loaves of bread and the two fish, looking up to heaven, He blessed, and breaking them, He gave the loaves to the disciples; and the disciples gave to the crowds. ²⁰ So they all ate and were satisfied, and they took up what they had left of the fragments, twelve baskets full. ²¹ Now those who had eaten were about five thousand men, apart from women and children. ²² And immediately Jesus compelled the disciples to get into the boat, and to go ahead of Him to the other side, until He could dismiss the crowds. ²³ And having dismissed the crowds, He went up on the mountain privately to pray. And when evening had come, He was there alone. ²⁴ But the boat was now in the middle of the sea, being harassed by the waves, for the wind was against them. ²⁵ Now in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went to them, walking on the sea. ²⁶ And when the disciples saw Him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, "It is a ghost!" And they cried out for fear. ²⁷ But immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying, "Have courage! It is I AM; do not fear." ²⁸ But Peter answered Him and said, "Lord, if it is You, command me to come to You on the waters." ²⁹ So He said, "Come." And stepping down from the boat, Peter walked on the waters to go toward Jesus. ³⁰ But seeing the strong wind, he was afraid, and beginning to sink he cried out, saying, "Lord, save me!" ³¹ And immediately, Jesus reaching out His hand, laid hold of him, and said to him, "O you of little faith, why did you doubt?" ³² And when they had gotten into the boat, the wind ceased. ³³ Then those who were in the boat came and worshipped Him, saying, "Truly You are the Son of God." ³⁴ And having crossed over, they came to the land of Gennesaret. ³⁵ And when the men of that place recognized Him, they sent out into all that surrounding region, and they brought to Him all those who were ill, ³⁶ and begged Him that they might only touch the hem of His garment. And as many as touched Him were completely healed.

But others said, "He is a prophet, like one of the prophets." ¹⁶ But when he heard, Herod said, "It is John, whom I beheaded; he has been raised from the dead!" ¹⁷ For Herod himself had sent and laid hold of John, and bound him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife; because he had married her. ¹⁸ For John would say to Herod, "It is not lawful for you to have your brother's wife." ¹⁹ Therefore Herodias held a grudge against him and was desiring to kill him, but she was not able; ²⁰ for Herod was afraid of John, knowing that he was a just and holy man, and he was protecting him. And when he heard him, he did many things, but he would hear him gladly. ²¹ And when an opportune day arrived, when Herod for his birthday festivities was putting on a supper for his nobles, the high officers, and the chief men of Galilee. ²² And when Herodias' daughter herself came in and danced, and pleased Herod and his dinner guests, the king said to the girl, "Ask me whatever you may want, and I will give it to you." ²³ He also swore to her, "Whatever you may ask me, I will give you, up to half of my kingdom." ²⁴ And when she had gone out, she said to her mother, "What shall I ask?" And she said, "The head of John the Baptist!" ²⁵ Immediately she came in with haste to the king and she requested, saying, "I want you to give me at once the head of John the Baptist on a platter." ²⁶ And the king became exceedingly sorry; yet, because of his oaths and of those who reclined with him, he did not want to refuse her. ²⁷ And immediately the king, having sent an executioner, commanded his head to be brought.

They said, "Barabbas!" ²² Pilate said to them, "What then shall I do with Jesus who is called Christ?" They all said to him, "Let Him be crucified!" ²³ Then the governor said, "Why, what evil did He do?"

¹² From this point Pilate was seeking to release Him, but the Jews kept crying out, saying, "If you release this Man, you are no friend of Caesar's. Whoever makes himself a king speaks against Caesar." ¹³ Therefore Pilate, having heard this saying, led Jesus outside and sat down on the judgment seat in a place that is called The Pavement, but in Hebrew, Gabbatha. ¹⁴ Now it was the Preparation Day of the Passover, and about the sixth hour. And he said to the Jews, "Behold your King!" ¹⁵ But they cried out, "Away with Him, away with Him! Crucify Him!" Pilate said to them, "Shall I crucify your King?" The chief priests answered, "We have no king but Caesar!" ¹⁶ Then he delivered Him to them to be crucified. So they took Jesus and led Him away.

Therefore sending for him more often, he was conversing with him. ²⁷ But after two years had passed, Felix received Porcius Festus as his successor; and Felix, desiring to grant favors to the Jews, left Paul in prison.

³ asking for favor against him, that he would summon him to Jerusalem--while planning an ambush to kill him along the way. ⁴ But Festus answered that Paul should be kept at Caesarea, and that he was about to go there shortly. ⁵ "Therefore," he said, "the prominent men among you, let them go with me and accuse this man, if there is anything in this man." ⁶ And when he had stayed among them more than ten days, he went down to Caesarea. And the next day, sitting on the judgment seat, he commanded Paul to be brought. ⁷ When he arrived, the Jews who had come down from Jerusalem stood around him, bringing many and serious accusations against Paul, which they were not able to prove, ⁸ while he defended himself, saying, "Neither against the law of the Jews, nor against the temple, nor against Caesar did I commit any sin." ⁹ But Festus, desiring to grant a favor to the Jews, answered Paul and said, "Are you willing to go up to Jerusalem and there be judged before me concerning these things?"

¹⁶ Nevertheless they sneered at His messengers, and despised His words, and mocked His prophets, until the wrath of the Lord rose up against His people, till there was no remedy.

³⁰ In vain have I smitten your children; you have not received correction. A sword has devoured your prophets as a destroying lion; yet you feared not.

¹² But I say to you that Elijah has come already, and they did not recognize him, but did to him whatever they desired. Thus also the Son of Man is about to suffer by them."

³⁵ And the farmers took his servants, they beat one, and one they killed, and another they stoned. ³⁶ Again he sent other servants, more than the first, and they did to them likewise.

³ and sent out his servants to call those who were invited to the wedding; and they did not want to come. ⁴ Again, he sent out other servants, saying, 'Say to those who are invited, "See, I have prepared my dinner; my oxen and fatted cattle are killed, and all things are ready. Come to the wedding." ' ⁵ "But not caring, they went away, one to his own field, another to his business. ⁶ And the rest seized his servants, mistreated them, and killed them.

³⁴ Therefore, behold, I send you prophets, wise men, and scribes: some of them you will kill and you will crucify, and some of them you will flog in your synagogues and you will persecute from city to city, ³⁵ so that on you may come all the righteous blood being shed on the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah, son of Berechiah, whom you murdered between the temple and the altar. ³⁶ Assuredly I say to you, all these things shall come upon this generation.

¹³ But I say to you that indeed Elijah has come, and they did to him whatever they wished, just as it is written concerning him."

⁹ And Herod said, "John I have beheaded, but who is this about whom I hear such things?" And he was seeking to see Him.

⁷ And when they finish their testimony, the Beast who ascends out of the bottomless pit will make war with them, and will overcome them, and will kill them.

⁷ Cursed be their wrath, for it was willful, and their anger, for it was cruel: I will divide them in Jacob, and scatter them in Israel.

⁴ Wrath is merciless and anger sharp, but envy can bear nothing.

¹⁷ Behold, your eyes are not good, nor your heart, but they go after your covetousness, and after the innocent blood to shed it, and after acts of injustice and slaughter, to commit them.

³ and you shall say, Thus says the Lord to Jerusalem: Your root and your birth are of the land of Canaan: your father was an Amorite, and your mother a Hittite. ⁴ And as for your birth in the day in which you were born, you did not bind your breasts, and you were not washed in water, neither were you salted with salt, neither were you swathed in swaddling-bands.

² and say, Why has your mother become a whelp in the midst of lions? In the midst of lions she has multiplied her whelps. ³ And one of her whelps sprang forth; he became a lion, and learned to take prey, he devoured men.

⁶ Therefore, as I live, says the Lord God, verily you have sinned even to blood, therefore blood shall pursue you.

⁶ Because they shed the blood of saints and prophets, and You gave them blood to drink. They deserve it."

⁶ I saw the woman, drunk with the blood of the saints and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus. And when I saw her, I marveled with great amazement.

⁵⁸ This man went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded the body to be given to him. ⁵⁹ And taking the body, Joseph wrapped it up in a clean linen cloth, ⁶⁰ and placed it in his new tomb which he had cut in the rock; and having rolled a large stone against the door of the tomb, he departed. ⁶¹ And Mary Magdalene was there, and the other Mary, sitting opposite the grave.

² And godly men buried Stephen, and made great lamentation over him.

²³ But whenever they persecute you in this city, flee to another. For assuredly I say to you, by no means will you have gone through the cities of Israel before the Son of Man comes.

¹⁵ But when Jesus knew it, He withdrew from there. And great crowds followed Him, and He healed them all.

¹ At that time Herod the tetrarch heard the report about Jesus, ² and said to his servants, "This is John the Baptist; he has been raised from the dead, and therefore these powers are at work in him."

³² Now Jesus, having summoned His disciples, He said, "I have compassion on the crowd, because they have been remaining with Me three days, and they do not have anything to eat. And I do not desire to send them away hungry, lest they faint on the way." ³³ Then His disciples said to Him, "Where could we get so many loaves of bread in this deserted place, so as to satisfy so great a crowd?" ³⁴ Jesus said to them, "How many loaves do you have?" And they said, "Seven, and a few small fish." ³⁵ So He commanded the crowds to recline on the ground. ³⁶ And He took the seven loaves and the fish, having given thanks, He broke them, and gave them to His disciples; and the disciples gave to the crowd. ³⁷ So they all ate and were satisfied. And they took up what they had left of the fragments, seven hampers full. ³⁸ Now those who ate were four thousand men, apart from women and children.

³⁰ Then the apostles gathered to Jesus and they reported to Him all things, both everything they had done and everything they had taught. ³¹ And He said to them, "Come you yourselves privately to a deserted place and rest a little." For there were many coming and going, and they were not even finding opportunity to eat. ³² And they went away to a deserted place in the boat privately. ³³ But the multitudes saw them going, and many recognized Him, and ran together there on foot from all the cities, and preceded them, and they came together to Him. ³⁴ And when He came out, Jesus saw a large crowd, and He had compassion on them, because they were like sheep not having a shepherd. So He began to teach them many things. ³⁵ And when it grew late, His disciples came to Him and said, "The place is deserted, and already the hour is late. ³⁶ Dismiss them, so that they may go into the surrounding farms and villages and may buy themselves food; for they have nothing to eat." ³⁷ But answering, He said to them, "You give them something to eat." And they said to Him, "Shall we go and buy two hundred denarii worth of bread and give them something to eat?" ³⁸ But He said to them, "How many loaves do you have? Go and see." And when they found out they said, "Five, and two fish." ³⁹ Then He gave orders for them all to recline in groups on the green grass. ⁴⁰ And they reclined in parties of hundreds and of fifties. ⁴¹ And taking the five loaves and the two fish, looking up to heaven, He blessed and broke the loaves, and was giving them to His disciples, so that they might set them before them; and the two fish He divided to all. ⁴² So they all ate and were filled. ⁴³ And they took up twelve baskets full of fragments and from the fish. ⁴⁴ Now those who had eaten the loaves were five thousand men.

¹⁰ And the apostles, when they had returned, recounted to Him all that they had done. And taking them along, He withdrew privately into a deserted place belonging to the city called Bethsaida. ¹¹ But when the crowds found out, they followed Him; and He welcomed them, and was speaking to them about the kingdom of God, and He cured those who needed healing. ¹² Now when the day began to decline, the twelve came and said to Him, "Dismiss the crowd, so that they may go into the surrounding villages and farms, and they may find lodging and find provisions; for we are in a deserted place here." ¹³ But He said to them, "You give them something to eat." And they said, "We have no more than five loaves of bread and two fish, unless we go and buy food for all these people." ¹⁴ For there were about five thousand men. And He said to His disciples, "Make them recline in groups of fifty." ¹⁵ And they did so, and made them all recline. ¹⁶ And taking the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, He blessed and broke them, and gave them to the disciples to set before the crowd. ¹⁷ So they all ate and were satisfied, and twelve baskets of the remaining fragments were taken up by them.

¹ After these things Jesus went over the Sea of Galilee, that is, of Tiberias. ² And a large crowd was following Him, because they were seeing His signs which He was doing upon those who were sick. ³ And Jesus went up on the mountain, and there He sat down with His disciples. ⁴ Now the Passover, the feast of the Jews, was near. ⁵ Then Jesus lifted up His eyes, and seeing that a large crowd was coming toward Him, He said to Philip, "Where shall we buy bread, that these people may eat?" ⁶ But this He said to test him, for He Himself knew what He was about to do. ⁷ Philip answered Him, "Two hundred denarii worth of bread is not enough for them, that each of them might receive a little." ⁸ One of His disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, said to Him, ⁹ There is a little boy here who has five barley loaves and two small fish, but what are they for so many?" ¹⁰ Then Jesus said, "Make the people to recline." Now there was much grass in that place. Therefore the men reclined, in number about five thousand. ¹¹ And Jesus took the loaves, and having given thanks He distributed them to the disciples, and the disciples to those who were reclining; and likewise of the fish, as much as they wished. ¹² But when they were filled, He said to His disciples, "Gather up the leftover fragments, so that nothing may be lost." ¹³ Therefore they gathered them up, and they filled twelve baskets of fragments from the five barley loaves which were left over by those who had eaten. ¹⁴ Then those men, when they had seen the sign that Jesus did, said, "This is truly the Prophet who is to come into the world." ¹⁵ Therefore Jesus, knowing that they were about to come and seize Him, that they might make Him king, withdrew to the mountain by Himself.

²³ And Jesus went about all of Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every disease and every illness among the people.

³⁶ But seeing the crowds, He was moved with compassion for them, because they were harassed and prostrated, like sheep having no shepherd.

³² Now Jesus, having summoned His disciples, He said, "I have compassion on the crowd, because they have been remaining with Me three days, and they do not have anything to eat. And I do not desire to send them away hungry, lest they faint on the way." ³³ Then His disciples said to Him, "Where could we get so many loaves of bread in this deserted place, so as to satisfy so great a crowd?" ³⁴ Jesus said to them, "How many loaves do you have?" And they said, "Seven, and a few small fish." ³⁵ So He commanded the crowds to recline on the ground. ³⁶ And He took the seven loaves and the fish, having given thanks, He broke them, and gave them to His disciples; and the disciples gave to the crowd. ³⁷ So they all ate and were satisfied. And they took up what they had left of the fragments, seven hampers full. ³⁸ Now those who ate were four thousand men, apart from women and children. ³⁹ And having dismissed the crowds, He went up into the boat, and came to the region of Magdala.

³⁴ And when He came out, Jesus saw a large crowd, and He had compassion on them, because they were like sheep not having a shepherd. So He began to teach them many things.

¹ In those days, when a great crowd had gathered, and not having anything to eat, Jesus, having summoned His disciples and said to them, ² I have compassion on the crowd, because they have been remaining with Me three days and have nothing to eat.

²² And often it threw him both into the fire and into the waters so that it may destroy him. But if You are able to do anything, help us and have compassion on us."

¹³ When the Lord saw her, He had compassion on her and said to her, "Do not weep."

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

³³ Therefore, when Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who had come along with her weeping, He groaned in the spirit and was troubled. ³⁴ And He said, "Where have you laid him?" They said to Him, "Lord, come and see." ³⁵ Jesus wept.

¹⁷ Therefore He was obligated to become like His brothers in all respects, in order that He might become a merciful and faithful High Priest in things pertaining to God, in order that He might make propitiation for the sins of the people.

¹⁵ For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but having been tempted in all respects in quite the same way as we are, yet without sin.

² being able to deal gently with those who sin in ignorance and go astray, since he himself is also subject to weakness.

²³ But He answered her not a word. And His disciples approached and urged Him, saying, "Send her away, for she cries out after us."

³⁵ And when it grew late, His disciples came to Him and said, "The place is deserted, and already the hour is late. ³⁶ Dismiss them, so that they may go into the surrounding farms and villages and may buy themselves food; for they have nothing to eat."

³ And if I dismiss them hungry to their own houses, they will faint on the way; for some of them have come from a distance."

¹² Now when the day began to decline, the twelve came and said to Him, "Dismiss the crowd, so that they may go into the surrounding villages and farms, and they may find lodging and find provisions; for we are in a deserted place here."

⁴² And there came a man over from Baal Shalisha, and brought to the man of God twenty barley loaves and cakes of figs, of the firstfruits. And he said, Give to the people, and let them eat. ⁴³ And his servant said, Why should I set this before a hundred men? And he said, Give to the people, and let them eat; for thus says the Lord: They shall eat and have some left over. ⁴⁴ So they ate, and had some left over, according to the word of the Lord.

¹⁶ But the helpless missed not whatever need they had, and I did not cause the eye of the widow to fail. ¹⁷ And if I also ate my morsel alone, and did not impart of it to the orphan;

²⁴ There are some who scatter their own, and make it more, and there are some also who gather, yet have less.

² Give a portion to seven, and also to eight; for you know not what evil there shall be upon the earth.

¹¹ He answered and said to them, "He who has two shirts, let him give to him who has none; and he who has food, let him do likewise."

²⁹ For some were thinking, since Judas had the money box, that Jesus was saying to him, "Buy the things of which we need for the feast," or that he should give something to the poor.

² how that in a great trial of affliction the abundance of their joy and their deep poverty abounded in the riches of their generosity. ³ For I bear witness that according to their ability, and beyond their ability, they were freely willing,

⁷ Let each one give just as he decides in his heart, not grudgingly or of necessity; for God loves a cheerful giver. ⁸ And God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that in everything always having all sufficiency, you may abound for every good work,

²¹ And Moses said, The people whom I am among are six hundred thousand footmen; and You said, I will give them meat to eat, and they shall eat a whole month. ²² Shall sheep and oxen be slain for them, and shall it suffice them? Or shall all the fish of the sea be gathered together for them, and shall it suffice them? ²³ And the Lord said to Moses, Shall not the hand of the Lord be fully sufficient? Now shall you know whether My word shall come to pass to you or not.

¹⁹ They spoke also against God, and said, Will God be able to prepare a table in the wilderness? ²⁰ Forasmuch as He struck the rock, and the waters flowed, and the torrents ran abundantly; will He be able also to give bread, or prepare a table for His people?

³³ Then His disciples said to Him, "Where could we get so many loaves of bread in this deserted place, so as to satisfy so great a crowd?" ³⁴ Jesus said to them, "How many loaves do you have?" And they said, "Seven, and a few small fish."

⁹ Do you not yet perceive, or remember the five loaves of the five thousand and how many baskets you took up?

³⁷ But answering, He said to them, "You give them something to eat." And they said to Him, "Shall we go and buy two hundred denarii worth of bread and give them something to eat?" ³⁸ But He said to them, "How many loaves do you have? Go and see." And when they found out they said, "Five, and two fish."

⁴ Then His disciples answered Him, "From where will anyone be able to satisfy these people with bread here in this deserted place?" ⁵ He asked them, "How many loaves do you have?" And they said, "Seven."

¹³ But He said to them, "You give them something to eat." And they said, "We have no more than five loaves of bread and two fish, unless we go and buy food for all these people."

⁵ Then Jesus lifted up His eyes, and seeing that a large crowd was coming toward Him, He said to Philip, "Where shall we buy bread, that these people may eat?" ⁶ But this He said to test him, for He Himself knew what He was about to do. ⁷ Philip answered Him, "Two hundred denarii worth of bread is not enough for them, that each of them might receive a little." ⁸ One of His disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, said to Him, ⁹ There is a little boy here who has five barley loaves and two small fish, but what are they for so many?"

¹³ As soon as you shall enter into the city, so shall you find him in the city, before he goes up to the high place to eat; for the people will not eat until he comes in, for he blesses the sacrifice, and afterwards the guests eat. Now then go up, for you shall find him because of the holiday.

³⁵ So He commanded the crowds to recline on the ground. ³⁶ And He took the seven loaves and the fish, having given thanks, He broke them, and gave them to His disciples; and the disciples gave to the crowd.

²⁶ And as they were eating, Jesus took the bread, and giving thanks, He broke it, and gave it to the disciples and said, "Take, eat; this is My body." ²⁷ Then He took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, "Drink of it, all of you,

³⁹ Then He gave orders for them all to recline in groups on the green grass.

⁴¹ And taking the five loaves and the two fish, looking up to heaven, He blessed and broke the loaves, and was giving them to His disciples, so that they might set them before them; and the two fish He divided to all.

³⁴ Then looking up into heaven, He sighed, and said to him, "Ephphatha," that is, "Be opened."

⁶ So He commanded the crowd to recline on the ground. And He took the seven loaves and having given thanks, He broke them and was giving them to His disciples, so that they might set them before the people; and they set them before the crowd. ⁷ And they had a few small fish; and having blessed them, He said to set them before the people.

²² And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, blessed and broke it, and gave it to them and said, "Take, eat; this is My body." ²³ And taking the cup and giving thanks, He gave it to them, and they all drank from it.

¹⁴ For there were about five thousand men. And He said to His disciples, "Make them recline in groups of fifty."

¹⁶ And taking the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, He blessed and broke them, and gave them to the disciples to set before the crowd.

¹⁹ And He took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, "This is My body which is given for you; do this in remembrance of Me."

³⁰ Now it came to pass, as He was reclining to eat with them, having taken bread, He blessed and broke it, and He gave it to them.

¹⁰ Then Jesus said, "Make the people to recline." Now there was much grass in that place. Therefore the men reclined, in number about five thousand. ¹¹ And Jesus took the loaves, and having given thanks He distributed them to the disciples, and the disciples to those who were reclining; and likewise of the fish, as much as they wished.

²³ however, other boats came from Tiberias, near the place where they ate bread after the Lord had given thanks--

⁴¹ Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead man was lying. And Jesus lifted up His eyes and said, "Father, I thank You that You have heard Me.

³⁵ And having said these things and having taken bread, he gave thanks to God in the presence of all, and having broken it, he began to eat.

⁶ He that regards the day, regards it to the Lord; and he that does not regard the day, to the Lord he does not regard it. And he that eats, eats to the Lord, for he gives thanks to God; and he that does not eat, to the Lord he does not eat, and he gives thanks to God.

¹⁶ The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ?

³¹ Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all things for the glory of God.

²⁴ and having given thanks, He broke it and said, "Take, eat; this is My body which has been broken for you; do this in remembrance of Me."

¹⁷ And whatever you may do in word or deed, do all things in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.

⁴ Because every creature of God is good, and not one is to be rejected, being received with thanksgiving, ⁵ for it is sanctified through the word of God and prayer.

⁸ And Moses said, This shall be when the Lord gives you meat to eat in the evening, and bread in the morning to the full, because the Lord has heard your murmuring, which you murmur against us: and what are we? For your murmuring is not against us, but against God.

¹² I have heard the murmuring of the children of Israel. Speak to them, saying, Towards evening you shall eat meat, and in the morning you shall be satisfied with bread; and you shall know that I am the Lord your God.

²⁶ When I afflict you with famine of bread, then ten women shall bake your loaves in one oven, and they shall render your loaves by weight; and you shall eat, and not be satisfied.

¹² And the woman said, As the Lord your God lives, I have not a cake, but only a handful of meal in this pitcher, and a little oil in a jar; and behold, I am going to gather two sticks, and I shall go in and dress it for myself and my children, and we shall eat it and die. ¹³ And Elijah said to her, Be of good courage, go in and do according to your word; but make me a little cake from it first, and you shall bring it out to me, and you shall make some for yourself and your children last. ¹⁴ For thus says the Lord: The pitcher of meal shall not fail, and the jar of oil shall not diminish, until the day that the Lord gives rain upon the earth. ¹⁵ And the woman went and did so, and did eat, she, and he, and her children. ¹⁶ And the pitcher of meal failed not, and the jar of oil was not diminished, according to the word of the Lord which He spoke by the hand of Elijah.

¹ And one of the wives of the sons of the prophets cried to Elisha, saying, Your servant my husband is dead; and you know that your servant feared the Lord; and the creditor has come to take my two sons to be his servants. ² And Elisha said, What shall I do for you? Tell me what you have in the house. And she said, Your servant has nothing in the house, except oil that I anoint myself with. ³ And he said to her, Go, borrow for yourself vessels from of all your neighbors, even empty vessels; borrow not a few. ⁴ And you shall go in and shut the door upon you and upon your sons, and you shall pour forth into these vessels, and remove that which is filled. ⁵ And she departed from him, and shut the door upon herself and upon her sons. They brought the vessels near to her, and she poured in until the vessels were filled. ⁶ And she said to her sons, Bring me another vessel. And they said to her, There is no more vessels. And the oil ceased. ⁷ And she came and told the man of God. And Elisha said, Go, sell the oil, and you shall pay your debts, and you and your sons shall live from the remaining oil.

²⁵ A just man eats and satisfies his soul, but the souls of the ungodly are in want.

¹⁴ Then I said, By no means, Lord God of Israel! Surely my soul has not been defiled with uncleanness, nor have I eaten that which has died of itself, or was torn by beasts from my birth until now; neither has any corrupt flesh entered into my mouth. ¹⁵ And He said to me, Behold, I have given you dung of oxen instead of man's dung, and you shall prepare your loaves upon it. ¹⁶ And He said to me, Son of man, behold, I break the support of bread in Jerusalem: and they shall eat bread by weight and in poverty, and shall drink water by measure, and in a state of ruin;

⁶ You have sown much, but brought in little; you have eaten, and are not satisfied; you have drunk, and are not satisfied with drink, you have clothed yourselves, and have not become warm thereby: and he that earns wages has gathered them into a bag full of holes.

⁶ Blessed are those who hunger and thirst after righteousness, for they shall be filled.

³³ Then His disciples said to Him, "Where could we get so many loaves of bread in this deserted place, so as to satisfy so great a crowd?"

⁸ But Jesus, knowing about it, said to them, "O you of little faith, why are you reasoning among yourselves, because you did not take bread? ⁹ Do you not yet perceive, or remember the five loaves of the five thousand and how many baskets you took up? ¹⁰ Nor the seven loaves of the four thousand and how many hampers you took up?

⁸ So they ate and were filled, and they took up an abundance of fragments, seven hampers full. ⁹ Now those having eaten were about four thousand. And He dismissed them.

¹⁶ And they were reasoning among themselves, saying, " because we have no bread." ¹⁷ But Jesus, knowing about it, said to them, "Why are you reasoning because you have no bread? Do you not yet perceive or understand? Is your heart still hardened? ¹⁸ Having eyes, do you not see? And having ears, do you not hear? And do you not remember? ¹⁹ When I broke the five loaves for the five thousand, how many baskets full of fragments did you take up?" They said to Him, "Twelve." ²⁰ "And when I broke the seven for the four thousand, how many hampers full of fragments did you take up?" And they said, "Seven." ²¹ So He said to them, "How is it you do not understand?"

⁵³ He has filled the hungry with good things, and the rich He has sent away empty.

¹⁷ So they all ate and were satisfied, and twelve baskets of the remaining fragments were taken up by them.

⁷ Philip answered Him, "Two hundred denarii worth of bread is not enough for them, that each of them might receive a little."

¹¹ And Jesus took the loaves, and having given thanks He distributed them to the disciples, and the disciples to those who were reclining; and likewise of the fish, as much as they wished. ¹² But when they were filled, He said to His disciples, "Gather up the leftover fragments, so that nothing may be lost." ¹³ Therefore they gathered them up, and they filled twelve baskets of fragments from the five barley loaves which were left over by those who had eaten. ¹⁴ Then those men, when they had seen the sign that Jesus did, said, "This is truly the Prophet who is to come into the world."

¹⁰ Then Jesus said, "Make the people to recline." Now there was much grass in that place. Therefore the men reclined, in number about five thousand.

⁴ However, many of those who heard the word believed; and the number of the men came to be about five thousand.

³⁴ Nor was there anyone needy among them; for all who were owners of lands or houses were selling them, and were bringing the proceeds of the things which had been sold,

⁸ And God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that in everything always having all sufficiency, you may abound for every good work, ⁹ just as it is written: "He has dispersed, He has given to the poor; His righteousness endures forever." ¹⁰ Now may He who supplies seed to the sower, and bread for food, supply and multiply the seed you have sown and increase the fruits of your righteousness; ¹¹ in everything being made rich to all generosity, which produces thanksgiving through us to God.

¹⁹ And my God will supply all your need according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus.

³⁶ Then having dismissed the crowds, Jesus went into the house. And His disciples came to Him, saying, "Explain to us the parable of the tares of the field."

³⁹ And having dismissed the crowds, He went up into the boat, and came to the region of Magdala.

⁴⁵ And immediately He compelled His disciples to step into the boat and to go on ahead to the other side, to Bethsaida, until He could dismiss the crowd. ⁴⁶ And having taken leave of them, He departed to the mountain to pray. ⁴⁷ Now when it was evening, the boat was in the middle of the sea; and He was alone on the land. ⁴⁸ Then He saw them straining at rowing, for the wind was against them. Now about the fourth watch of the night He came to them walking on the sea, and He wanted to pass by them. ⁴⁹ And seeing Him walking on the sea, they supposed Him to be a spirit, and they cried out; ⁵⁰ for they all saw Him and were troubled. But immediately He spoke with them, and said to them, "Have courage! It is I AM; do not be afraid." ⁵¹ Then He went up with them into the boat and the wind ceased. And they were greatly astounded among themselves beyond measure, and were marveling.

¹⁵ Therefore Jesus, knowing that they were about to come and seize Him, that they might make Him king, withdrew to the mountain by Himself. ¹⁶ Now when evening came, His disciples went down to the sea, ¹⁷ and having entered into the boat, they were going across the sea to Capernaum. And darkness had already come, and Jesus had not come to them. ¹⁸ And the sea was agitated by a great blowing wind. ¹⁹ Therefore having rowed about three or four miles, they saw Jesus walking on the sea and drawing near to the boat; and they were frightened. ²⁰ But He said to them, "It is I AM; do not fear." ²¹ Then they were willing to receive Him into the boat, and immediately the boat arrived at the land to which they were going.

⁶ But you, whenever you pray, enter into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in secret; and your Father, who sees in secret, will reward you openly.

³⁶ Then Jesus came with them to a place called Gethsemane, and said to the disciples, "Sit here while I go off and pray over there."

⁴⁶ And having taken leave of them, He departed to the mountain to pray.

¹² Now it came to pass in those days that He went out to the mountain to pray, and He was spending the night in prayer to God.

²⁸ Now it came to pass, about eight days after these words, that He took Peter, John, and James and went up on the mountain to pray.

¹⁵ Therefore Jesus, knowing that they were about to come and seize Him, that they might make Him king, withdrew to the mountain by Himself. ¹⁶ Now when evening came, His disciples went down to the sea, ¹⁷ and having entered into the boat, they were going across the sea to Capernaum. And darkness had already come, and Jesus had not come to them.

⁴ But we will faithfully engage in prayer and in the ministry of the word."

¹¹ Afflicted and outcast, you have not been comforted; behold, I will prepare carbuncle for your stones, and sapphire for your foundations;

²⁴ And behold, a great tempest arose on the sea, so that the boat was covered by waves; but He was sleeping.

⁴⁸ Then He saw them straining at rowing, for the wind was against them. Now about the fourth watch of the night He came to them walking on the sea, and He wanted to pass by them.

¹⁸ And the sea was agitated by a great blowing wind.

⁸ Who alone has stretched out the heavens, and walks on the sea as on firm ground.

³ The rivers have lifted up, O Lord, the rivers have lifted up their voices, ⁴ at the voices of many waters; the billows of the sea are wonderful; the Lord is wonderful in high places.

³ Who covers His chambers with waters; who makes the clouds His chariot; who walks on the wings of the wind.

⁴³ But know this, that if the master of the house had known in what hour the thief was coming, he would have kept watch, and he would not have allowed his house to be broken into.

³⁸ And if he comes in the second watch, or comes in the third watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants.

¹⁹ Therefore having rowed about three or four miles, they saw Jesus walking on the sea and drawing near to the boat; and they were frightened.

² and having in his hand a scroll having been opened. And he put his right foot on the sea, but his left one on the land,

⁵ And the angel whom I saw standing on the sea and on the land raised his right hand to heaven

⁸ Then the voice which I heard from heaven was speaking with me again and saying, "Go, take the little scroll which was open in the hand of the angel standing on the sea and on the land."

¹² And the woman saw Samuel, and cried out with a loud voice. And the woman said to Saul, Why have you deceived me? For you are Saul! ¹³ And the king said to her, Fear not; tell me, what did you see? And the woman said to him, I saw gods ascending out of the earth. ¹⁴ And he said to her, What did you understand it to be? And she said to him, I see an upright man ascending out of the earth, and he is clothed with a mantle. And Saul knew that this was Samuel, and he stooped with his face to the earth, and bowed down to him.

¹⁴ horror and trembling seized me, and caused all my bones greatly to shake. ¹⁵ And a spirit came before my face; and my hair and flesh quivered. ¹⁶ I arose and perceived it not. I looked, and there was no form before my eyes: but I only heard a breath and a voice, saying,

⁶ And his body was like beryl, and his face was as the appearance of lightning, and his eyes as lamps of fire, and his arms and his legs as the appearance of shining brass, and the voice of his words as the voice of a multitude. ⁷ And I, Daniel alone saw the vision: and the men that were with me saw not the vision; but a great amazement fell upon them, and they fled in fear. ⁸ So I was left alone, and saw this great vision, and there was no strength left in me, and my glory was turned into corruption, and I retained no strength. ⁹ Yet I heard the voice of his words; and when I heard him I was cut to the heart, and I fell with my face to the earth. ¹⁰ And behold, a hand touched me, and it raised me on my knees. ¹¹ And he said to me, O Daniel, man greatly beloved, understand the words which I speak to you, and stand upright, for I am now sent to you. And when he had spoken to me this word, I stood trembling. ¹² And he said to me, Fear not, Daniel: for from the first day that you set your heart to understand, and to afflict yourself before the Lord your God, your words were heard, and I have come because of your words.

⁴⁹ And seeing Him walking on the sea, they supposed Him to be a spirit, and they cried out; ⁵⁰ for they all saw Him and were troubled. But immediately He spoke with them, and said to them, "Have courage! It is I AM; do not be afraid."

¹¹ Then an angel of the Lord appeared to him, standing on the right side of the altar of incense. ¹² And when Zacharias saw him, he was troubled, and fear fell upon him.

⁵ Then, as they became afraid and bowed their faces to the ground, they said to them, "Why do you seek the living among the dead?

³⁷ But being alarmed and becoming fearful, they thought they saw a spirit.

⁴⁵ And He opened their understanding, that they might comprehend the Scriptures.

¹⁵ But they said to her, "You are mad!" Yet she kept insisting that it was so. So they said, "It is his angel."

¹⁷ And when I saw Him, I fell at His feet as if dead. But He put His right hand on me, saying, "Do not fear; I am the First and the Last.

⁴ Who has performed and done these things? He has called it who called it from the generations of old; I God, the first and to all futurity, I AM.

¹⁰ Fear not; for I am with you; wander not; for I am your God, who has strengthened you; and I have helped you, and have established you with My righteous right hand.

¹⁴ Fear not, Jacob, and you Israel few in number; I have helped you, says your God, He that redeems you, O Israel.

¹² I, even I, am He that comforts you; consider who you are, that you were afraid of mortal man, and of the son of man, who have withered as grass.

² And behold, they were carrying a paralytic to Him lying on a bed. And when Jesus saw their faith, He said to the paralytic, "Have courage, child; your sins are forgiven you."

⁷ But Jesus approached and touched them and said, "Arise, and do not be afraid."

¹⁰ Then Jesus said to them, "Do not be afraid. Go, report to My brothers that they should go to Galilee, and there they will see Me."

¹³ But the angel said to him, "Do not be afraid, Zacharias, because your prayer has been heard; and your wife Elizabeth will bear a son to you, and you shall call his name John.

³⁰ Then the angel said to her, "Fear not, Mary, for you have found grace with God.

¹⁰ Then the angel said to them, "Fear not, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which will be to all people.

³⁸ And He said to them, "Why are you troubled? And why do doubts arise in your hearts? ³⁹ Behold My hands and My feet, that it is I Myself. Handle Me and see, for a spirit does not have flesh and bones as you see I have."

²⁰ But He said to them, "It is I AM; do not fear."

¹ "Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. ² In My Father's house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. ³ And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and I will receive you unto Myself; so that where I am, there you may be also.

³³ These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation; but have courage, I have overcome the world."

¹¹ Now on the next night the Lord stood by him and said, "Take courage, Paul; for as you solemnly testified about the things concerning Me in Jerusalem, so you must also testify in Rome."

¹⁷ And when I saw Him, I fell at His feet as if dead. But He put His right hand on me, saying, "Do not fear; I am the First and the Last. ¹⁸ I am He who lives, and became dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore. Amen. And I have the keys of Death and of Hades.

²⁷ Then Peter answered and said to Him, "See, we have left all and followed You. What then shall we have?"

³³ Peter answered and said to Him, "Even if all are made to stumble because of You, yet I will never be made to stumble." ³⁴ Jesus said to him, "Assuredly I say to you that on this night, before the rooster crows, you will deny Me three times." ³⁵ Peter said to Him, "Even if I have to die with You, by no means will I deny You!" And likewise said all the disciples.

³¹ But he kept saying all the more profusely, "If it is necessary for me to die with You, by no means will I deny You!" And they all said likewise.

³¹ And the Lord said, "Simon, Simon! Behold, Satan has asked for you, that he may sift you as wheat. ³² But I have prayed for you, that your faith should not fail; and when you have turned back, strengthen your brothers." ³³ But he said to Him, "Lord, I am ready to go with You, both to prison and to death." ³⁴ Then He said, "I say to you, Peter, the rooster will by no means crow this day before you will deny three times that you know Me."

⁴⁹ And those around Him, seeing what was about to happen, they said to Him, "Lord, shall we strike with the sword?" ⁵⁰ And a certain one of them struck the servant of the high priest and cut off his right ear.

⁶⁸ But Simon Peter answered Him, "Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life.

³⁶ Simon Peter said to Him, "Lord, where are You going?" Jesus answered him, "Where I am going you cannot follow Me now, but later you will follow Me." ³⁷ Peter said to Him, "Lord, why can I not follow You now? I will lay down my life for You." ³⁸ Jesus answered him, "Will you lay down your life for Me? Most assuredly I say to you, the rooster shall by no means crow till you deny Me three times.

³ For I say, through the grace given to me, to everyone who is among you, not to think of himself too highly, beyond what you should think, but to think soberly, as God has imparted to each one a measure of faith.

²⁰ So Jesus said to them, "Because of your unbelief; for assuredly I say to you, if you have faith like a mustard seed, you shall say to this mountain, 'Be moved from here to there,' and it shall move; and nothing shall be impossible for you.

²¹ So Jesus answered and said to them, "Assuredly I say to you, if you have faith and do not doubt, you will not only do what was done to the fig tree, but even if you should say to this mountain, 'Be taken up and cast into the sea,' it will happen.

²³ Jesus said to him, "If you are able to believe: all things are possible to him that believes."

²² So Jesus answered and said to them, "Have faith in God. ²³ For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, 'Be taken up and cast into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that the things which he says are coming to pass, what ever he says shall be his.

⁶ So the Lord said, "If you have faith as a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, 'Be uprooted and be planted in the sea,' and it would obey you.

¹⁶ And on the basis of faith in His name, this one whom you observe and know, was made strong by His name. And the faith, which is by Him, has given to him this wholeness before you all.

¹⁹ And not weakening in faith, he did not consider his own body, already having been worn out (being about a hundred years old), and the deadness of Sarah's womb,

¹³ I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

¹⁵ And the servant of Elisha rose up early and went out; and behold, an army compassed the city, and horses and chariots. And the servant said to him, O master, what shall we do?

⁷ Arise, O Lord; deliver me, my God; for You have struck all who were my enemies without cause; You have broken the teeth of sinners.

¹ For the end, A Psalm of David, for alternate strains. Save me, O God; for the waters have come in to my soul. ² I am stuck fast in deep mire, and there is no standing: I have come in to the depths of the sea, and a storm has overwhelmed me.

²⁷ They are troubled, they stagger as a drunkard, and all their wisdom is swallowed up. ²⁸ Then they cry to the Lord in their affliction, and He brings them out of their distresses. ²⁹ And He commands the storm, and it is calmed into a gentle breeze, and its waves are still. ³⁰ And they are glad, because they are quiet; and He guides them to their desired haven.

³ The pangs of death compassed me; the dangers of hell found me; I found affliction and sorrow. ⁴ Then I called on the name of the Lord — O Lord, deliver my soul.

⁵⁴ Water flowed over my head: I said, I am cut off. ⁵⁵ ( { χ}) KOPH. I called upon Your name, O Lord, out of the lowest dungeon. ⁵⁶ You heard my voice; close not Your ears to my supplication. ⁵⁷ You drew near to my help; in the day that I called upon You, You said to me, Fear not.

^{2 (2:3)} and said, I cried in my affliction to the Lord my God, and He hearkened unto me, even to my cry out of the belly of hell: You heard my voice. ^{3 (2:4)} For You have cast me into the depths of the heart of the sea, and the floods compassed me: all Your billows and Your waves have passed upon me. ^{4 (2:5)} And I said, I am cast out of Your presence: shall I indeed look again toward Your holy temple? ^{5 (2:6)} Water was poured around me to the soul: the lowest deep compassed me, my head went down ^{6 (2:7)} to the clefts of the mountains; I went down into the earth, whose bars are the everlasting barriers: yet, O Lord my God, let my ruined life be restored. ^{7 (2:8)} When my soul was failing me, I remembered the Lord; and may my prayer come to You into Your holy temple.

²⁴ And behold, a great tempest arose on the sea, so that the boat was covered by waves; but He was sleeping. ²⁵ Then the disciples came and awoke Him, saying, "Lord, save us! We are perishing!"

⁶⁹ Now Peter sat outside in the courtyard. And a servant girl came to him, saying, "You also were with Jesus of Galilee." ⁷⁰ But he denied it before them all, saying, "I do not know what you are saying." ⁷¹ And when he had gone out to the gateway, another girl saw him and said to them there, "This man was with Jesus the Nazarene." ⁷² But again he denied with an oath, "I do not know the Man!" ⁷³ And after a little while, those standing by came up and said to Peter, "Surely you also are one of them, for your accent gives you away." ⁷⁴ Then he began to curse and swear, saying, "I do not know the Man!" And immediately a rooster crowed. ⁷⁵ And Peter remembered the word of Jesus which He said to him, "Before the rooster crows, you will deny Me three times." And going out, he wept bitterly.

³⁸ Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation. Indeed the spirit is eager, but the flesh is weak."

⁶⁶ Now as Peter was below in the courtyard, one of the servant girls of the high priest came. ⁶⁷ And when she saw Peter warming himself, she looked at him and said, "You also were with Jesus the Nazarene." ⁶⁸ But he denied it, saying, "I neither know nor understand what you are saying." And he went outside into the forecourt, and a rooster crowed. ⁶⁹ And the servant girl seeing him again, began to say to those standing by, "This man is one of them." ⁷⁰ But again he was denying it. And a little later those who were standing by said to Peter again, "Truly you are one of them; for you are also a Galilean, and your accent is like theirs." ⁷¹ Then he began to curse and to swear, "I do not know this Man whom you are speaking of" ⁷² And for the second time a rooster crowed. Then Peter remembered the word that Jesus had said to him, "Before a rooster crows twice, you will deny Me three times." And when he thought about it, he began to weep.

⁵⁴ And having arrested Him, they led Him and brought Him into the house of the high priest. And Peter was following from a distance. ⁵⁵ Now when they had lit a fire in the midst of the courtyard and sat down together, Peter sat in their midst. ⁵⁶ And a certain servant girl, seeing him sitting at the fire and gazing at him, said, "This man was also with Him." ⁵⁷ But he denied Him, saying, "Woman, I do not know Him." ⁵⁸ And after a little while another person saw him and said, "You also are one of them." But Peter said, "Man, I am not!" ⁵⁹ Then after about one hour had passed, another was firmly insisting, saying, "Surely this fellow also was with Him, for he is a Galilean." ⁶⁰ But Peter said, "Man, I do not know what you are saying!" And immediately, while he was still speaking, a rooster crowed. ⁶¹ And the Lord turned and looked at Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how He had said to him, "Before a rooster crows, you will deny Me three times."

²⁵ Now Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. Therefore they said to him, "You are not also one of His disciples, are you?" Then he denied it and said, "I am not!" ²⁶ One of the servants of the high priest, a relative of him whose ear Peter cut off, said, "Did I not see you in the garden with Him?" ²⁷ Peter then denied again; and immediately a rooster crowed.

⁷ And lest I exalt myself above measure by the excellence of the revelations, a thorn in the flesh was given to me, an angel of Satan, that it might beat me, lest I exalt myself above measure. ⁸ Concerning this I pleaded with the Lord three times that it might depart from me. ⁹ And He said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is perfected in weakness." Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my weaknesses, in order that the power of Christ may rest upon me. ¹⁰ Therefore I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in calamities, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ's sake. For whenever I am weak, then I am strong.

¹⁶ At my first defense no one stood with me, but all forsook me. May it not be reckoned to them. ¹⁷ But the Lord stood by me and strengthened me, so that through me the proclamation might be fulfilled, and all the Gentiles might hear, and I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion.

¹⁴ And Abraham called the name of that place, The Lord Has Seen; that they might say today, In the mount the Lord was seen.

³⁶ For the Lord shall judge His people, and shall be comforted over His servants; for He saw that they were utterly weakened, and failed in the hostile invasion, and have become feeble.

⁷ Though I should walk in the midst of affliction, You will revive me; You have stretched forth Your hands against the wrath of my enemies, and Your right hand has saved me.

¹² Who led Moses with His right hand, the arm of His glory? He forced the water to separate from before him, to make Himself an everlasting name.

³⁰ But if God thus clothes the grass of the field, which exists today, and tomorrow is cast into the oven, will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?

²⁶ But He said to them, "Why are you fearful, O you of little faith?" Then having risen, He rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was a great calm.

⁸ But Jesus, knowing about it, said to them, "O you of little faith, why are you reasoning among yourselves, because you did not take bread?

³¹ So He came and He raised her up, grasping her hand; and immediately the fever left her. And she began to serve them.

⁴¹ And Jesus, being moved with compassion, and reaching out His hand, touched him, and said to him, "I am willing, be cleansed."

⁴¹ And having grasped the hand of the child, He said to her, "Talitha, koumi," which means, "Little girl, I say to you, arise."

²³ For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, 'Be taken up and cast into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that the things which he says are coming to pass, what ever he says shall be his.

⁷ But go, say to His disciples, and Peter, that He is going before you into Galilee; there you shall see Him, just as He said to you."

³¹ And the Lord said, "Simon, Simon! Behold, Satan has asked for you, that he may sift you as wheat. ³² But I have prayed for you, that your faith should not fail; and when you have turned back, strengthen your brothers."

³⁴ saying, "The Lord is risen indeed, and has appeared to Simon!"

³⁰ by extending Your hand to heal, and that signs and wonders may occur through the name of Your holy Servant Jesus."

¹⁸ who, contrary to hope, on hope believed, so that he should become a father of many nations, according to what was spoken, "So shall your descendants be." ¹⁹ And not weakening in faith, he did not consider his own body, already having been worn out (being about a hundred years old), and the deadness of Sarah's womb, ²⁰ he did not waver at the promise of God in unbelief, but was empowered by faith, giving glory to God,

⁸ I desire therefore that men pray in every place, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting.

⁶ But let him ask in faith, doubting nothing, for he that doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind. ⁷ For let not that man suppose that he shall receive anything from the Lord; ⁸ he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.

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

⁴¹ And they feared exceedingly, and were saying to one another, "Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea obey Him!"

⁵¹ Then He went up with them into the boat and the wind ceased. And they were greatly astounded among themselves beyond measure, and were marveling.

²¹ Then they were willing to receive Him into the boat, and immediately the boat arrived at the land to which they were going.

⁷ declaring the ordinance of the Lord: the Lord has said to Me, You are My Son, today I have begotten You.

²⁵ And the king said, But I see four men loose, and walking in the midst of the fire, and there has no harm happened to them; and the appearance of the fourth is like the Son of God.

³ And approaching Him, the tempter said, "If You are the Son of God, speak so that these stones may become bread."

²⁵ Then she came and worshipped Him, saying, "Lord, help me!"

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

⁵ While he was still speaking, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them; and behold, a voice came out of the cloud, saying, "This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Hear Him!"

⁶³ But Jesus kept silent. And the high priest answered and said to Him, "I adjure You by the living God: Tell us if You are the Christ, the Son of God!"

⁴³ He trusted in God; let Him deliver Him now if He'll have Him; for He said, 'I am the Son of God.' "

⁵⁴ So when the centurion and those with him guarding Jesus, when they saw the earthquake and the things that had happened, they were greatly afraid, saying, "Truly this was the Son of God!"

⁹ And as they were going to report to His disciples, that behold, Jesus met them, saying, "Rejoice!" So they came and held His feet and worshipped Him.

¹⁷ When they saw Him, they worshipped Him; but some doubted.

¹ THE BEGINNING OF THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST, THE SON OF GOD.

⁶¹ But He kept silent and answered nothing. Again the high priest was questioning Him, saying to Him, "Are You the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?"

³⁹ Now when the centurion who stood across from Him saw that He cried out like this and breathed His last, he said, "Truly this Man was the Son of God!"

⁴¹ And also demons were coming out of many, crying out and saying, "You are the Christ, the Son of God!" And rebuking them, He did not allow them to speak, because they knew that He was the Messiah.

²⁸ And seeing Jesus and crying out, he fell down before Him, and with a loud voice he said, "What have I to do with You, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg You, do not torment me!"

⁵² And after they had worshipped Him, they returned to Jerusalem with great joy,

⁴⁹ Nathanael answered and said to Him, "Rabbi, You are the Son of God! You are the King of Israel!"

⁶⁹ Also we have come to believe and know that You are the Christ, the Son of the living God."

³⁵ Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and having found him, He said to him, "Do you believe in the Son of God?" ³⁶ He answered and said, "And who is He, Lord, that I may believe in Him?" ³⁷ And Jesus said to him, "You have both seen Him and it is He who is speaking with you." ³⁸ Then he said, "Lord, I believe!" And he worshipped Him.

²⁷ She said to Him, "Yes, Lord, I believe that You are the Christ, the Son of God, who is to come into the world."

¹ Jesus spoke these words, lifted up His eyes to heaven, and said: "Father, the time has come. Glorify Your Son, that Your Son also may glorify You,

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

³⁶ Now as they were going down the road, they came upon some water. And the eunuch said, "Behold, here is water: what prevents me from being baptized?"

⁴ who was declared Son of God with power according to the Spirit of holiness by the resurrection of the dead, Jesus Christ our Lord,

⁵³ And having crossed over, they came to the land of Gennesaret and anchored there. ⁵⁴ And when they came out of the boat, immediately having recognized Him, ⁵⁵ running about that whole surrounding region, they began to carry about on beds those who were ill to wherever they would hear that He was. ⁵⁶ And wherever He would enter into villages, or towns, or the country, they laid the sick in the marketplaces, and they would beg Him at least that they might touch the hem of His garment. And as many as touched Him were healed.

¹ Now it came to pass, while the crowd pressed upon Him to hear the word of God, that He stood by the Lake of Gennesaret,

²⁴ when the crowd therefore saw that Jesus was not there, nor His disciples, they got into boats and came to Capernaum, seeking Jesus. ²⁵ And having found Him on the other side of the sea, they said to Him, "Rabbi, when did You come here?"

²⁴ And the report of Him went throughout all Syria; and they brought to Him all those were ill, suffering with various diseases and torments, and those who were demon-possessed, epileptics, and paralytics; and He healed them. ²⁵ And large crowds followed Him from Galilee and from Decapolis, and Jerusalem, and Judea, and beyond the Jordan.

²⁸ And immediately the report of Him went out into the whole surrounding region of Galilee. ²⁹ And immediately when they went out from the synagogue, they came to the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John. ³⁰ And the mother-in-law of Simon was lying down burning with fever, and immediately they spoke to Him about her. ³¹ So He came and He raised her up, grasping her hand; and immediately the fever left her. And she began to serve them. ³² Now when evening came, when the sun set, they were bringing to Him all those who were ill, and those being demon-possessed. ³³ And the whole city was gathered together at the door. ³⁴ And He healed many who were ill with various diseases, and He cast out many demons; and He did not allow the demons to speak, because they knew Him.

¹ And He entered again into Capernaum after some days, and it was heard that He was in a certain house. ² And immediately many were gathered together, so that there was no longer any room, not even near the door. And He was speaking the word to them. ³ And they came to Him, bringing a paralytic being carried by four men. ⁴ And not being able to get near Him because of the crowd, they removed the tiles from the roof where He was, and having dug through they let down the pallet on which the paralytic was lying. ⁵ And Jesus, seeing their faith, He said to the paralytic, "Child, your sins have been forgiven you." ⁶ And some of the scribes were sitting there and reasoning in their hearts, ⁷ Why does this Man speak blasphemies like this? Who is able to forgive sins except God alone?" ⁸ And immediately, when Jesus recognized in His spirit that they were reasoning thus among themselves, He said to them, "Why are you reasoning these things in your hearts? ⁹ Which is easier, to say to the paralytic, 'Your sins have been forgiven,' or to say, 'Arise, take up your bed and walk'? ¹⁰ But in order that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on the earth to forgive sins"--He said to the paralytic, ¹¹ "I say to you, arise, and take up your pallet, and go to your house." ¹² And immediately he arose, and taking his pallet, he went out before them all, so that all were amazed and glorified God, saying, "We never saw anything like this!"

⁸ and from Jerusalem and Idumea and beyond the Jordan and those around Tyre and Sidon, a large multitude, when they heard everything He was doing, came to Him. ⁹ So He told His disciples that a small boat should be kept ready for Him because of the crowd, lest they should crush Him. ¹⁰ For He had healed many, so that all who had afflictions were crowding upon Him, so that they might touch Him.

⁵⁵ running about that whole surrounding region, they began to carry about on beds those who were ill to wherever they would hear that He was.

³³ And under the fringe of the robe below you shall make as it were pomegranates of a flowering pomegranate tree, of blue, and purple, and spun scarlet, and fine linen spun, under the fringe of the robe round about: golden pomegranates of the same shape, and bells round about between these. ³⁴ A bell by the side of a golden pomegranate, and flower-work on the fringe of the robe round about. ³⁵ And the sound of Aaron shall be audible when he ministers, as he goes into the sanctuary before the Lord, and as he goes out, that he die not. ³⁶ And you shall make a plate of pure gold, and you shall engrave on it like the engraving of a signet: Holiness to the Lord. ³⁷ And you shall put it on the spun blue cloth, and it shall be on the turban: it shall be in the front of the turban. ³⁸ And it shall be on the forehead of Aaron; and Aaron shall bear away the sins of their holy things, all that the children of Israel shall sanctify of every gift of their holy things, and it shall be on the forehead of Aaron continually acceptable for them before the Lord. ³⁹ And the fringes of the garments shall be of fine linen; and you shall make a tire of fine linen, and you shall make a sash, the work of the embroiderer. ⁴⁰ And for the sons of Aaron you shall make tunics and sashes, and you shall make headpieces for them for honor and glory. ⁴¹ And you shall put them on Aaron your brother, and his sons with him, and you shall anoint them and fill their hands; and you shall sanctify them, that they may minister to Me in the priest's office. ⁴² And you shall make for them linen trousers to cover the nakedness of their flesh; they shall reach from the loins to the thighs. ⁴³ And Aaron shall have them, and his sons, whenever they enter into the tabernacle of witness, or when they shall advance to the altar of the sanctuary to minister, so they shall not bring sin upon themselves, lest they die: it is a perpetual statute for him, and for his seed after him.

³⁸ Speak to the children of Israel, and you shall tell them; and let them make for themselves fringes upon the borders of their garments throughout their generations; and you shall put blue lace upon the fringes of the borders. ³⁹ And it shall be on your fringes, and you shall look on them, and you shall remember all the commands of the Lord, and do them. And you shall not turn back after your imaginations, and after the sight of your eyes in the things after which you go a whoring,

²⁰ And behold, a woman hemorrhaging for twelve years, approaching from behind, touched the hem of His garment. ²¹ For she said to herself, "If only I may touch His garment, I will be healed."

⁵ But all their works they do in order to be seen by men. They make their phylacteries broad and they enlarge the borders of their garments.

¹⁰ For He had healed many, so that all who had afflictions were crowding upon Him, so that they might touch Him.

¹⁹ And all the crowd was trying to touch Him, because power was going out from Him, and was healing them all.

³⁷ All that the Father gives Me shall come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will by no means cast out.

²³ If a man receives circumcision on the Sabbath, so that the law of Moses should not be broken, are you angry with Me because I made a man completely well on the Sabbath?

⁹ If we today are being judged for a good work to a weak man, by what means he has been made well, ¹⁰ let it be known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead, by this name this man stands here before you whole.

¹⁴ But because they saw standing with them the man who had been healed, they had nothing to say against them. ¹⁵ And they commanded them to go away outside the council, and began to confer among themselves, ¹⁶ saying, "What shall we do to these men? For indeed, that a known sign has come to pass by them is evident to all those who are dwelling in Jerusalem, and we are not able to deny it.

¹¹ And God was doing extraordinary miracles by the hands of Paul, ¹² so that even handkerchiefs or aprons from his skin were brought to those who were sick, and the diseases departed from them, and the evil spirits went out from them.
