John Cross References - CLV

¹ In the beginning was the word, and the word was toward God, and God was the word. " ² This was in the beginning toward God. ³ All came into being through it, and apart from it not even one thing came into being which has come into being." ⁴ In it was life, and the life was the light of men." ⁵ And the light is appearing in the darkness, and the darkness grasped it not." ⁶ There came to be a man, commissioned by God. His name was John." ⁷ This one came for a testimony, that he should be testifying concerning the light, that all should be believing through it." ⁸ Not he was the light, but he came that he should be testifying concerning the light. " ⁹ It was the true light - which is enlightening every man - coming into the world. ¹⁰ In the world He was, and the world came into being through Him, and the world knew Him not." ¹¹ To His own He came, and those who are His own accepted Him not." ¹² Yet whoever obtained Him, to them He gives the right to become children of God, to those who are believing in His name, ¹³ who were begotten, not of bloods, neither of the will of the flesh, neither of the will of a man, but of God." ¹⁴ And the Word became flesh and tabernacles among us, and we gaze at His glory, a glory as of an only-begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth." ¹⁵ John is testifying concerning Him and has cried, saying, "This was He of Whom I said, 'He Who is coming after me, has come to be in front of me,' for He was first, before me, ¹⁶ for of that which fills Him we all obtained, and grace for grace." ¹⁷ For the law through Moses was given; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. ¹⁸ God no one has ever seen. The only-begotten God, Who is in the bosom of the Father, He unfolds Him." ¹⁹ And this is the testimony of John when the Jews of Jerusalem dispatch to him priests and Levites that they should be inquiring of him, "Who are you? ²⁰ And he avows and denies not and avows that "I am not the Christ." ²¹ And they ask him again, "What are you then? Are you Elijah?And he is saying, "I am not." ²² Are you the Prophet?And he answered, "No.They said, then, to him, "Who are you? - that we may be giving an answer to those who send us. What are you saying concerning yourself? ²³ He averred, "I am 'the voice of one imploring, "In the wilderness straighten the road of the Lord!"' according as said Isaiah the prophet." ²⁴ And those who have been dispatched were of the Pharisees. ²⁵ And they ask him and said to him, "Why, then, are you baptizing, if you are not the Christ, neither Elijah, nor the Prophet? ²⁶ John answered them, saying, "I am baptizing in water. Now in the midst of you One stood of Whom you are not aware." ²⁷ He it is Who, coming after me, has come to be in front of me, of Whom I am not worthy that I should be loosing the thong of His sandal." ²⁸ These things occurred in Bethany, the other side of the Jordan river, where John was, baptizing." ²⁹ On the morrow he is observing Jesus coming toward him, and is saying, "Lo! the Lamb of God Which is taking away the sin of the world!" ³⁰ This is He concerning Whom I said, 'After me is coming a Man Who has come to be in front of me,' for He was First, before me." ³¹ And I was not aware of Him. But that He may be manifested to Israel, therefore came I, baptizing in water." ³² And John testifies, saying that "I have gazed upon the spirit, descending as a dove out of heaven, and it remains on Him." ³³ And I was not aware of Him, but He Who sends me to be baptizing in water, That One said to me, 'On Whomever you may be perceiving the spirit descending and remaining on Him, This is He Who is baptizing in holy spirit.'" ³⁴ And I have seen and have testified that This One is the Son of God." ³⁵ On the morrow John again stood, and two of his disciples." ³⁶ And, looking at Jesus walking, he is saying, "Lo! the Lamb of God!" ³⁷ And the two disciples hear him speaking, and they follow Jesus." ³⁸ Now Jesus, being turned and gazing at them following, is saying to them, "What are you seeking?Yet they said to Him, "Rabbi(which, being construed, is termed "Teacher"), "where art Thou remaining? ³⁹ He is saying to them, "Come and see.They came, then, and perceived where He is remaining, and they remain with Him that day. It was about the tenth hour." ⁴⁰ Now Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, was one of the two who hear from John and follow Him." ⁴¹ This one first is finding his own brother, Simon, and is saying to him, "We have found the Messiah!(which is, being construed, "Christ")." ⁴² And he led him to Jesus. Looking at him, Jesus said, "You are Simon, the son of John. You shall be called Cephas(which is being translated "Peter")." ⁴³ On the morrow He wants to come away into Galilee, and He is finding Philip. And Jesus is saying to him, "Follow Me." ⁴⁴ Now Philip was from Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter." ⁴⁵ Philip is finding Nathanael and is saying to him, "Him of Whom Moses writes in the law and the prophets, have we found Jesus, a son of Joseph, from Nazareth." ⁴⁶ And Nathanael said to him, "Can anything good be out of Nazareth?Philip is saying to him, "Come and see!" ⁴⁷ Jesus perceived Nathanael coming toward Him, and is saying concerning him, "Lo! truly an Israelite in whom there is no guile!" ⁴⁸ Nathanael is saying to Him, "Whence do you know me?Jesus answered and said to him, "Before Philip summons you, when you are under the fig tree, I perceived you." ⁴⁹ Nathanael answered and is saying to Him, "Rabbi, Thou art the Son of God! Thou art the King of Israel!" ⁵⁰ Jesus answered and said to him, "Seeing that I said to you that 'I perceived you underneath the fig tree,' are you believing? Greater things than these should you be seeing!" ⁵¹ And He is saying to him, "Verily, verily, I am saying to you, henceforth you shall be seeing heaven opened up and the messengers of God ascending and descending on the Son of Mankind."

²² Yahweh Himself acquired me as the beginning of His way; Preceeding His deeds of yore. ²³ From the eon was I inaugurated, From the beginning, preceeding the earth;" ²⁴ When there were no abysses I was travailed, When there were no springs teeming with water." ²⁵ Ere the mountains were sunk in place, Before the hills, I was travailed, ²⁶ When He had not yet made the earth and its open places, Or the beginnings of soil for the habitance." ²⁷ When He established the heavens I was there, When He delineated the horizon on the face of the abyss, ²⁸ When He made the sky clouds firm above, When He set the springs of the abyss with strength, ²⁹ When He established for the sea its statutory limit, So that the waters may not pass beyond His bidding, When He delineated the foundations of the earth." ³⁰ Then I was beside Him as His foster child, And I was filled with bliss day by day, Gamboling before Him all the time, ³¹ Gamboling in the habitance of His earth, And my bliss was in the sons of humanity."

The unweaned He is conducting."

¹⁸ God no one has ever seen. The only-begotten God, Who is in the bosom of the Father, He unfolds Him."

³⁰ I and the Father, We are one." ³¹ Again, then, the Jews bear stones that they should be stoning Him." ³² Jesus answered them, "Many ideal acts I show you from My Father. Because of what act of them are you stoning Me? ³³ The Jews answered Him, "For an ideal act we are not stoning you, but for blasphemy, and that you, being a man, are making yourself God."

²⁸ I came out from the Father and have come into the world. Again, I am leaving the world and am going to the Father."

⁶ Who, being inherently in the form of God, deems it not pillaging to be equal with God,

¹⁷ and He is before all, and all has its cohesion in Him."

¹⁶ And avowedly great is the secret of devoutness, which was manifested in flesh, justified in spirit, seen by messengers, heralded among the nations, believed in the world, taken up in glory."

¹³ anticipating that happy expectation, even the advent of the glory of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ,

⁸ Yet to the Son: "Thy throne, O God, is for the eon of the eon, And a scepter of rectitude is the scepter of Thy kingdom." ⁹ Thou lovest righteousness and hatest injustice; Therefore Thou art anointed by God, Thy God, with the oil of exultation beyond Thy partners." ¹⁰ And, Thou, originally, Lord, dost found the earth, And the heavens are the works of Thy hands." ¹¹ They shall perish, yet Thou art continuing, And all, as a cloak, shall be aged, ¹² And, as if clothing, wilt Thou be rolling them up. As a cloak also shall they change. Yet Thou art the same, And Thy years shall not be defaulting." ¹³ Now to which of the messengers has He declared at any time, "Sit at My right, till I should be placing Thine enemies for a footstool for Thy feet"?

⁷ seeing that three there are that are testifying,

¹⁷ And when I perceived Him, I fall at His feet as dead. And He places His right hand on me, saying, "Do not fear! I am the First and the Last,

⁸ And to the messenger of the ecclesia in Smyrna write: `Now, this He is saying Who is the First and the Last, Who became dead, and lives:"

¹⁴ And to the messenger of the ecclesia in Laodicea write: 'Now this is saying the Amen, the Faithful and True Witness, and God's Creative Original:"

¹³ and He is clothed in a cloak dipped in blood, and His name is called "The Word of God."

⁶ And He said to me, "I have become the Alpha and the Omega, the Origin and the Consummation. To him who is thirsting I shall be giving of the spring of the water of life gratuitously."

¹³ I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Origin and the Consummation."

²⁶ And saying is the Elohim, "Make will We humanity in Our image, and according to Our likeness, and sway shall they over the fish of the sea, and over the flyer of the heavens, and over the beast, and over all land life, and over every moving animal moving on the land.

⁶ By the word of Yahweh, the heavens were made, And by the spirit of His mouth, all their host."

²⁵ Beforetime You founded the earth, And the heavens are the work of Your hands."

¹² I, I made the earth, and I created humanity on it. I, My hands stretched out the heavens, and all their host I instruct."

¹⁸ For thus says Yahweh, Creator of the heavens; He is the Elohim, and Former of the earth, and its Maker, and He, He established it. He did not create it a chaos. He formed it to be indwelt. "I am Yahweh, and there is none else."

¹⁰ In the world He was, and the world came into being through Him, and the world knew Him not."

¹⁷ Yet Jesus answers them, "My Father is working hitherto, and I am working." ¹⁸ Therefore, then, the Jews sought the more to kill Him, for He not only annulled the sabbath, but said His own Father also is God, making Himself equal to God." ¹⁹ Jesus, then, answers and said to them, "Verily, verily, I am saying to you, The Son can not be doing anything of Himself if it is not what He should be observing the Father doing, for whatever He may be doing, this the Son also is doing likewise."

² in the last of these days speaks to us in a Son, Whom He appoints enjoyer of the allotment of all, through Whom He also makes the eons;" ³ Who, being the Effulgence of His glory and Emblem of His assumption, besides carrying on all by His powerful declaration, making a cleansing of sins, is seated at the right hand of the Majesty in the heights;"

¹⁰ And, Thou, originally, Lord, dost found the earth, And the heavens are the works of Thy hands." ¹¹ They shall perish, yet Thou art continuing, And all, as a cloak, shall be aged, ¹² And, as if clothing, wilt Thou be rolling them up.

³ For this One is counted worthy of more glory than Moses, by as much as He Who constructs it has more honor than the house." ⁴ For every house is constructed by someone, yet He Who constructs all is God."

¹¹ Worthy art Thou, O Lord, our Lord and God, To get glory and honor and power; For Thou dost create all, And because of Thy will they were, and are created."

⁶ Who are trusting in their estate And are boasting in the abundance of their riches?

¹ {A Davidic Inscribed Psalm{ {For Teaching{ {When he ravaged Aram-naharaim and the Syrian Zobah, and Joab returned and smote Edom in the salt ravine, twelve thousand.{ O Elohim, You have cast us off; You have breached forth upon us; You have been angry; May You turn back to us." ² You have made the earth quake; You have riven it; Heal its breaks, for it has slipped." ³ You have shown Your people hardship; You have made us drink wine that causes tremoring.

¹¹ For Sun and Shield is Yahweh Elohim; Grace and glory does Yahweh bestow; He does not withhold good from those walking with integrity.

⁴ Say to the hasty of heart:"Be steadfast! You must not fear! Behold! Your Elohim with vengeance shall come, and with the requital of Elohim shall He come and save you." ⁵ Then unclosed shall be the eyes of the blind, and the ears of the deaf shall be opened."

⁶ I, Yahweh Elohim, call you in righteousness, and I will hold fast to your hand and preserve you, and I will give you for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Nations, ⁷ to unclose the eyes that are blind, to bring forth the prisoner from his enclosure, and those dwelling in darkness from the house of detention."

¹⁶ And I will conduct the blind in a way they do not know, and in tracks they do not know will I cause them to tread. I will convert darkness before them into light, and the perverse into straightness. These things I do for them,

² Yet the Sun of righteousness shall radiate to you who fear My name, and healing is in its wings. And you shall come forth, and you prance as calves of the stall."

¹⁶ The people sitting in darkness perceived a great light,
And to those sitting in the province and shadow of death, light arises for them.

⁷⁸ Because of the merciful compassions of our God, In which the Dayspring from on high visits us, ⁷⁹ To make Its advent to those sitting in darkness and the shadow of death, To direct our feet into the path of peace."

³² A Light for the revelation of nations, And the Glory of Thy people Israel."

⁸ Not he was the light, but he came that he should be testifying concerning the light. " ⁹ It was the true light - which is enlightening every man - coming into the world.

²¹ For even as the Father is rousing the dead and vivifying, thus the Son also is vivifying whom He will."

²⁶ For even as the Father has life in Himself, thus to the Son also He gives to have life in Himself."

¹² Again, then, Jesus speaks to them, saying, "I am the Light of the world. He who is following Me should under no circumstances be walking in darkness, but will be having the light of life."

⁵ Whenever I may be in the world, I am the Light of the world."

²⁵ Jesus said to her, "I am the Resurrection and the Life. He who is believing in Me, even if he should be dying, shall be living."

³⁵ Jesus, then, said to them, "Still a little time the light is among you. Be walking while you have the light, lest the darkness may be overtaking you. And he who is walking in the darkness is not aware whither he is going."

⁴⁶ I have come into the world a Light, that everyone who is believing in Me should not be remaining in darkness."

⁶ Jesus is saying to him, "I am the Way and the Truth and the Life. No one is coming to the Father except through Me."

²³ if He, the first out of a resurrection of the dead, is about to be announcing light both to the people and to the nations."

⁴⁵ If there is a soulish body, there is a spiritual also. Thus it is written also, The first man, Adam, "became a living soul:the last Adam a vivifying Spirit."

¹⁴ Wherefore He is saying, 'Rouse! O drowsy one, and rise from among the dead, and Christ shall dawn upon you!'"

⁴ Whenever Christ, our Life, should be manifested, then you also shall be manifested together with Him in glory."

² And the life was manifested, and we have seen and are testifying and reporting to you the life eonian which was toward the Father and was manifested to us."

⁵ And this is the message which we have heard from Him and are informing you, that God is light, and darkness in Him there is none." ⁶ If we should be saying that we are having fellowship with Him and should be walking in darkness, we are lying and are not doing the truth." ⁷ Yet if we should be walking in the light as He is in the light, we are having fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, His Son, is cleansing us from every sin."

¹¹ And this is the testimony, that God gives us life eonian, and this life is in His Son."

¹ And he shows me a river of water of life, resplendent as crystal, issuing out of the throne of God and the Lambkin."

¹⁶ I, Jesus, send My messenger to testify these things to you in the ecclesias. I am the root and the race of David, the resplendent morning star."

¹³ They are among those revolting against the light; They neither recognize its ways Nor dwell in its tracks. ¹⁴ When the light is gone the murderer arises; He dispatches the humble and needy one; And in the night he becomes stealthy as a thief. ¹⁵ The eye of the adulterer keeps watch for the gloaming, Saying, No eye can regard me; And he places a concealment over his face. ¹⁶ In the darkness he burrows into houses; By day they seal themselves up; They do not know the light. ¹⁷ For altogether morning is a shadow of death to them, For each one values the decadence of the blackest shadow.

²² How long, O simple ones, shall you love simplicity, And mockers covet their mocking, And the stupid hate knowledge?

²⁹ Because they hated knowledge And would not choose the fear of Yahweh, ³⁰ They would not heed my counsel, They spurned all my correction,

¹⁹ Now this is the judging: that the light has come into the world, and men love the darkness rather than the light, for their acts were wicked." ²⁰ For everyone who is committing bad things is hating the light and is not coming to the light, lest his acts may be exposed."

³⁶ As you have the light, be believing in the light, that you may be becoming sons of light.These things Jesus speaks, and, coming away, He was hid from them." ³⁷ Yet, after His having done so many signs in front of them, they believed not in Him, " ³⁸ that the word of Isaiah the prophet, which he said, may be being fulfilled, "Lord, who believes our tidings? And the arm of the Lord, to whom was it revealed? ³⁹ Therefore they could not believe, seeing that Isaiah said again" ⁴⁰ that He has blinded their eyes and callouses their heart, lest they may be perceiving with their eyes, and should be apprehending with their heart, and may be turning about, and I shall be healing them."

²⁸ And according as they do not test God, to have Him in recognition, God gives them over to a disqualified mind, to do that which is not befitting,

¹⁴ Now the soulish man is not receiving those things which are of the spirit of God, for they are stupidity to him, and he is not able to know them, seeing that they are spiritually examined."

³ The voice of one calling:"In the wilderness, surface the way of Yahweh! And straighten, in the gorge, a highway for our Elohim!" ⁴ Every ravine shall be lifted up, and every mountain and hill shall be lowered. And all the crooked shall come to be straight, and the knobs a valley." ⁵ And revealed is the glory of Yahweh, and all flesh sees the salvation of Elohim.For the mouth of Yahweh speaks."

¹ Behold Me sending My messenger, and he surfaces the way before Me. And suddenly, the Lord Whom you are seeking is coming to his temple, and the Messenger of the covenant, in Whom you are delighting. Behold! He comes! says Yahweh of hosts."

⁵ Behold! I will send to you Elijah, the prophet, before the coming of the great and fearful day of Yahweh." ⁶ And he shall restore the heart of the fathers to the sons and the heart of the sons to their fathers, lest I shall come and smite the earth to its doom."

¹ Now in those days, coming along is John the baptist, heralding in the wilderness of Judea, ² saying: "Repent! for near is the kingdom of the heavens!" ³ For this is he of whom it is declared through Isaiah the prophet, saying,
"The voice of one imploring:
'In the wilderness make ready the road of the Lord!
Straight...be making the highways'of Him! ⁴ Now he, John, had his apparel of camel's hair and a leather girdle about his loins. Now his nourishment was locusts and wild honey. ⁵ Then went out to him Jerusalem and entire Judea, and the entire country about the Jordan, ⁶ and they were baptized in the Jordan river by him, confessing their sins. ⁷ Now, perceiving many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to his baptism, he said to them, "Progeny of vipers! Who intimates to you to be fleeing from the impending indignation? ⁸ Produce, then, fruit worthy of repentance. ⁹ And you should not be presuming to be saying among yourselves, 'For a father we have Abraham,' for I am saying to you that able is God, out of these stones to rouse children to Abraham. ¹⁰ "Yet already the ax is lying at the root of the trees. Every tree, then, which is not producing ideal fruit is hewn down and cast into the fire. ¹¹ For I, indeed, am baptizing you in water for repentance, yet He Who is coming after me is stronger than I, Whose sandals I am not competent to bear. He will be baptizing you in holy spirit and fire,

¹⁰ This is he concerning whom it is written, 'Lo! I am dispatching My messenger before Thy face, who shall be constructing Thy road in front of Thee.'"

²⁵ The baptism of John-whence was it? Of heaven or of men?Now they reasoned with themselves, saying, "If we should be saying, 'Of heaven,' He will be declaring to us, 'Wherefore, then, do you not believe him?'"

¹ The beginning of the evangel of Jesus Christ, Son of God, ² according as it is written in Isaiah the prophet, (Lo! I am dispatching My messenger before Thy face, who shall be constructing Thy road in front of Thee.):" ³ The voice of one imploring: 'In the wilderness make ready the road of the Lord! Straight...be making the highways'of Him!" ⁴ John the baptist came to be in the wilderness and is heralding a baptism of repentance for the pardon of sins. ⁵ And out to him went the entire province of Judea, and all the Jerusalemites, and they were baptized by him in the Jordan river, confessing their sins." ⁶ And John was dressed in camel's hair, and had a leather girdle about his loins, and was eating locusts and wild honey." ⁷ And he heralds, saying, "Coming, after me, is One stronger than I, the thong of Whose sandals I am not competent to stoop and loose." ⁸ I, indeed, baptize you in water, yet He shall be baptizing you in holy spirit."

¹³ Now the messenger said to him, "Fear not, Zechariah, because hearkened to is your petition, and your wife Elizabeth shall be bearing you a son, and you shall be calling his name John."

¹⁵ for he shall be great in the sight of the Lord. And wine and intoxicant may he under no circumstances be drinking, and with holy spirit shall he be filled while still of his mother's womb." ¹⁶ And many of the sons of Israel shall he be turning back to the Lord their God. ¹⁷ And he shall be coming before in His sight in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn back the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the stubborn to the prudence of the just, to make ready a people formed for the Lord."

⁶¹ And they said to her that "Not one is there of your relationship who is called by this name." ⁶² Now they nodded to his father, what he should be wanting him to be called." ⁶³ And requesting a tablet, he writes, saying, "John is his name.And they all marvel."

⁷⁶ Now you, also, little boy, a prophet of the Most High shall be called, For you shall be going before in the sight of the Lord To make ready His roads,

² under Hannas and Caiaphas, the chief priests, came a declaration of God to John, the son of Zechariah, in the wilderness." ³ And he came into the entire country about the Jordan, heralding a baptism of repentance for the pardon of sins, ⁴ as it is written in the scroll of the sayings of Isaiah the prophet, saying, "The voice of one imploring: 'In the wilderness make ready the road of the Lord! Straight...be making the highways'of Him!" ⁵ 'Every ravine shall be filled And every mountain and hill shall be made low, And the crooked shall be straight, And the rough places into smooth roads,..." ⁶ And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.'" ⁷ He said, then, to the throngs going out to be baptized by him, "Progeny of vipers! Who intimates to you to be fleeing from the impending indignation? ⁸ Produce, then, fruits worthy of repentance. And you should not begin to be saying among yourselves, 'For a father we have Abraham,' for I am saying to you that God is able, out of these stones, to rouse children to Abraham." ⁹ Now already the ax also is lying at the root of the trees. Every tree, then, which is not producing ideal fruit is hewn down and cast into the fire." ¹⁰ And the throngs inquired of him, saying "What, then, should we be doing? ¹¹ Now answering, he said to them, "He who has two tunics, let him be sharing with him who has none, and let him who has food be doing likewise." ¹² Now tribute collectors also came to be baptized, and they said to him, "Teacher, what should we be doing? ¹³ Now he said to them, "Impose nothing more than has been prescribed to you." ¹⁴ Now soldiers also inquired of him, saying, "What should we also be doing?And he said to them, "You should be intimidating no one, neither be blackmailing, and be sufficed with your rations." ¹⁵ Now at the people hoping, and all reasoning in their hearts concerning John, lest at some time he may be the Christ, ¹⁶ John answers, saying to all, "I, indeed, in water am baptizing you. Yet coming is One stronger than I, the thong of Whose sandals I am not competent to loose. He will be baptizing you in holy spirit and fire, ¹⁷ Whose winnowing shovel is in His hand, and He will be scouring His threshing floor and be gathering the grain into His barn, yet the chaff shall He burn up with unextinguished fire." ¹⁸ Indeed, then, entreating about many different things also, he brought the evangel to the people." ¹⁹ Now Herod the tetrarch, being exposed by him concerning Herodias, the wife of his brother Philip, and concerning all the wicked things which Herod does, ²⁰ adds this also to them all: he locks up John in jail.

³³ And I was not aware of Him, but He Who sends me to be baptizing in water, That One said to me, 'On Whomever you may be perceiving the spirit descending and remaining on Him, This is He Who is baptizing in holy spirit.'"

²⁸ You yourselves are testifying to me that I said, 'Not I am the Christ,' but that 'Dispatched am I in front of Him.'"

²⁴ The previous heralding of John, before His personal entrance, was the baptism of repentance to the entire people of Israel."

⁹ It was the true light - which is enlightening every man - coming into the world.

¹² Yet whoever obtained Him, to them He gives the right to become children of God, to those who are believing in His name,

¹⁵ John is testifying concerning Him and has cried, saying, "This was He of Whom I said, 'He Who is coming after me, has come to be in front of me,' for He was first, before me,

¹⁹ And this is the testimony of John when the Jews of Jerusalem dispatch to him priests and Levites that they should be inquiring of him, "Who are you?

²⁶ John answered them, saying, "I am baptizing in water. Now in the midst of you One stood of Whom you are not aware." ²⁷ He it is Who, coming after me, has come to be in front of me, of Whom I am not worthy that I should be loosing the thong of His sandal."

³² And John testifies, saying that "I have gazed upon the spirit, descending as a dove out of heaven, and it remains on Him." ³³ And I was not aware of Him, but He Who sends me to be baptizing in water, That One said to me, 'On Whomever you may be perceiving the spirit descending and remaining on Him, This is He Who is baptizing in holy spirit.'" ³⁴ And I have seen and have testified that This One is the Son of God."

³⁶ And, looking at Jesus walking, he is saying, "Lo! the Lamb of God!"

²⁶ And they came to John and said to him, "Rabbi, He Who was with you on the other side of the Jordan, to Whom you have testified, lo! this One is baptizing and all are coming to Him." ²⁷ John answered and said, "A man can not get anything if it should not be given him out of heaven." ²⁸ You yourselves are testifying to me that I said, 'Not I am the Christ,' but that 'Dispatched am I in front of Him.'" ²⁹ He Who has the bride is the Bridegroom. Yet the friend of the Bridegroom, who stands and is hearing Him, is rejoicing with joy because of the Bridegroom's voice. This, my joy, then, has been fulfilled." ³⁰ He must be growing, yet mine it is to be inferior." ³¹ He Who from above is coming is over all. He who is of the earth is of the earth and of the earth is speaking; He Who is coming out of heaven is over all." ³² What He has seen and hears, this He is testifying, and no one is getting His testimony." ³³ He who is getting His testimony sets his seal that God is true. ³⁴ For He Whom God commissions is speaking God's declarations, for God is not giving the spirit by measure." ³⁵ The Father is loving the Son and has given all into His hand." ³⁶ He who is believing in the Son has life eonian, yet he who is stubborn as to the Son shall not be seeing life, but the indignation of God is remaining on him."

³³ You have dispatched to John, and he has testified to the truth." ³⁴ Yet I am not getting the testimony from man, but I am saying these things that you may be saved." ³⁵ He was a lamp, burning and appearing, yet you want to exult an hour in its light."

⁴ Yet Paul said, "John baptizes with the baptism of repentance, telling the people that in the One coming after him they should be believing, that is, in Jesus."

⁴ Who wills that all mankind be saved and come into a realization of the truth.

¹¹ For the saving grace of God made its advent to all humanity,

⁹ The Lord is not tardy as to the promise, as some are deeming tardiness, but is patient because of you, not intending any to perish, but all to make room for repentance."

²⁰ And he avows and denies not and avows that "I am not the Christ."

²⁰ To the law and to the testimony! If they are not speaking according to this word, there is no bribe for them"

⁶ And he is saying to me, "A slight thing is it for you to become My servant, to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and the dispersed of Israel to restore. Behold! I give you also for a light of the nations, to become My salvation unto the ends of the earth."

²³ Yet if your eye should be wicked, your whole body will be dark. If, then, the light that is in you is darkness, how dense is the darkness!"

⁴ In it was life, and the life was the light of men."

⁷ This one came for a testimony, that he should be testifying concerning the light, that all should be believing through it."

³² Jesus, then, said to them, "Verily, verily, I am saying to you, not Moses has given you the bread out of heaven,

¹² And there was much murmuring concerning Him among the throngs. These, indeed, said that "He is good,yet others said, "No. But he is deceiving the throng."

¹ I am the true Grapevine, and My Father is the Farmer."

⁴ Now you, brethren, are not in darkness, that the day may be overtaking you as a thief, ⁵ for you are all sons of the light and sons of the day. We are not of the night nor of the darkness. ⁶ Consequently, then, we may not be drowsing, even as the rest, but we may be watching and be sober." ⁷ For those who are drowsing are drowsing at night, and those who are drunk are drunk at night."

⁸ If we should be saying that we have no sin we are deceiving ourselves, and the truth is not in us."

⁸ Again, a new precept am I writing to you, which is true in Him and in you, for the darkness is passing by, and the true light already is appearing."

⁶ And saying is Yahweh, "Behold! One people is it. And one lip is for them all. And this they started to do! And now nothing will be defended from them of all that they will plan to do. ⁷ Prithee! Descend will We, and there disintegrate their lip, that they may not hear each man the lip of his associate. ⁸ And scattering them is Yahweh thence on the surface of the entire earth. And leaving off are they building the city and the tower. ⁹ Therefore its name is called Babel, for there Yahweh disintegrates the lip of the entire earth. And thence Yahweh Elohim scatters them over the surface of the entire earth.

¹³ And calling is Hagar the name of Yahweh Who spoke to her, "You-El-see me.For she says, "Moreover, hither see I, after my seeing?

¹ And coming is Abram to be ninety nine years of age. And appearing is Yahweh to Abram and is saying to him, "I am the El-Who-Suffices. Walk before Me and become flawless.

³³ And going is Yahweh, as He finishes speaking to Abraham. And Abraham returns to his place.

⁴ When Yahweh saw that he withdrew to discern, Elohim called to him from the midst of the thornbush and said: Moses! Moses! So he answered: Behold me!" ⁵ Then he said: Do not come near hither! Ease your sandals off your feet, for the place on which you are standing, this is ground of holiness. ⁶ And He said: I am the Elohim of your fathers, the Elohim of Abraham, the Elohim of Isaac and the Elohim of Jacob. Now Moses concealed his face, for he feared to look toward the One, Elohim.

¹¹ Thus do you say to them, The elohims Who the heavens and earth have not made, They do perish from the earth, And from under these heavens." ¹² The maker of the earth by His power, The establisher of the world by His wisdom, Who, by His understanding, stretched forth the heavens,

²⁷ All was given up to Me by My Father. And no one is recognizing the Son except the Father; neither is anyone recognizing the Father except the Son and he to whom the Son should be intending to unveil Him."

⁵ And the light is appearing in the darkness, and the darkness grasped it not."

¹⁷ Yet Jesus answers them, "My Father is working hitherto, and I am working."

²⁵ Just Father, the world, also, knew Thee not, yet I knew Thee. And these know that Thou dost commission Me."

¹⁷ although He leaves Himself not without the testimony of good acts, giving showers from heaven and fruitbearing seasons, filling our hearts with nourishment and gladness."

²⁴ The God Who makes the world and all that is in it, He, the Lord inherent of heaven and earth, is not dwelling in temples made by hands, ²⁵ neither is He attended by human hands, as if requiring anything, since He Himself gives to all life and breath and all." ²⁶ Besides, He makes out of one every nation of mankind, to be dwelling on all the surface of the earth, specifying the setting of the seasons and the bounds of their dwelling, for them to be seeking God, if, consequently, ²⁷ they may surely grope for Him and may be finding Him, though to be sure, not far from each one of us is He inherent,

²¹ For since, in fact, in the wisdom of God, the world through wisdom knew not God, God delights, through the stupidity of the heralding, to save those who are believing,

⁸ which not one of the chief men of this eon knows, for if they know, they would not crucify the Lord of glory."

³ By faith we are apprehending the eons to adjust to a declaration of God, so that what is being observed has not come out of what is appearing."

¹ Perceive what manner of love the Father has given us, that we may be called children of God! And we are! Therefore the world does not know us, for it did not know Him."

² And He is coming up as a layer-plant before Him, and as a root sprout from earth that is arid. No shape has He nor honor when we shall see Him, and no appearance nor loveliness that we will covet Him." ³ Despised is He, and shunned by men, a man of pains and knowing illness. And, as One concealing His face from us, despised is He, and we judge Him of no account."

²⁴ Now He, answering, said, "I was not commissioned except for the lost sheep of the house of Israel."

¹⁴ Now his citizens hated him, and they dispatch an embassy after him, saying, 'We do not want this man to reign over us!'"

¹³ Now the lord of the vineyard said, 'What shall I be doing? I shall be sending my son, the beloved. Him they will be respecting equally with me.'" ¹⁴ Now on perceiving him, the farmers reasoned with one another, saying, 'This is the enjoyer of the allotment. Hither! We should be killing him, that the enjoyer of the allotment may become ours.'" ¹⁵ And, casting him outside of the vineyard, they kill him. What, then, will the lord of the vineyard be doing to them?

³² What He has seen and hears, this He is testifying, and no one is getting His testimony."

²⁵ You are the sons of the prophets and of the covenant which God covenanted with your fathers, saying to Abraham: And in your seed all the kindreds of the earth shall be blessed." ²⁶ To you first, God, raising His Boy, commissions Him to bless you by turning away each of you from your wickedness."

⁵¹ Stiff-necked and uncircumcised in your hearts and ears, you are ever clashing with the holy spirit! As your fathers, you also!" ⁵² Which of the prophets do not your fathers persecute? And they kill those who announce before concerning the coming of the Just One, of Whom now you became the traitors and murderers -"

²⁶ Men! Brethren! Sons of the race of Abraham, and those among you who are fearing God! To us was the word of this salvation dispatched."

⁴⁶ Being bold, both Paul and Barnabas, say, "To you first was it necessary that the word of God be spoken. Yet, since, in fact, you are thrusting it away, and are judging yourselves not worthy of eonian life, lo! we are turning to the nations."

¹ The truth am I telling in Christ, I am not lying, my conscience testifying together with me in holy spirit,

⁸ For I am saying that Christ has become the Servant of the Circumcision, for the sake of the truth of God, to confirm the patriarchal promises."

⁴ Now when the full time came, God delegates His Son, come of a woman, come under law, "

⁵ then I give to them, in My house and in My walls, an acclaiming hand, and a name better than sons and daughters. A name eonian will I give to them, which shall not be cut off."

¹⁹ And I have said, How do I put you among the sons, And give to you a desirable land, A beauteous inheritance of the hosts of nations, And I say, My father--you do call to Me, And from after Me you do not turn back."

¹⁰ Yet the number of the sons of Israel shall become as the sand of the sea, which is not being measured nor numbered. And it comes to be in the place in which it was being said to them, Not My people are you, there shall it be said to them, sons of the living El."

⁴⁰ He who is receiving you is receiving Me, and he who is receiving Me is receiving Him Who commissions Me."

²¹ And on His name the nations will be relying.

⁵ And whosoever should be receiving one such little child in My name is receiving Me.

²³ Now as He was in Jerusalem at the Passover in the festival, many believe in His name, beholding His signs which He did."

¹⁸ He who is believing in Him is not being judged; yet he who is not believing has been judged already, for he has not believed in the name of the only-begotten Son of God."

⁵² and not for the nation only, but that He may be gathering the scattered children of God also into one."

³¹ Yet these are written that you should be believing that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that, believing, you may have life eonian in His name."

¹⁶ And in the faith of His name, His name gives stability to this man whom you are beholding, with whom, also, you are acquainted, and the faith which is through Him, gives him this unimpaired soundness in front of you all."

¹⁴ For whoever are being led by God's spirit, these are sons of God."

¹⁷ Wherefore, Come out of their midst and be severed, the Lord is saying. And touch not the unclean, and I will admit you, ¹⁸ and I will be a Father to you, and you shall be sons and daughters to Me, says the Lord Almighty."

²⁶ for you are all sons of God, through faith in Christ Jesus."

⁶ Now, seeing that you are sons, God delegates the spirit of His Son into our hearts, crying "Abba! Father!"

⁶ As, then, you accepted Christ Jesus, the Lord, be walking in Him,

⁴ through which have been presented to us the precious and greatest promises, that through these you may become participants of the divine nature, fleeing from the corruption which is in the world by lust."

²³ And this is His precept, that we should be believing in the name of His Son, Jesus Christ, and may be loving one another according as He gives us a precept."

¹² He who has the Son has the life; he who has not the Son of God has not the life. ¹³ These things I write to you that you who are believing in the name of the son of God may be perceiving that you have life eonian.

²² And bruising themselves are the sons within her. And saying is she, "Should it be so? Why have I this?And going is she to inquire of Yahweh.

²⁸ And loving is Isaac Esau for his game is in his mouth. Yet Rebecca is loving Jacob.

⁴ and make for me tasties, such as I love, and bring them to me, and eat will I, in order that my soul may bless you ere I die.

³³ And trembling is Isaac, a trembling, great unto excess. And saying is he, "Who, indeed, was he, the hunter of game who brought it to me, and I ate of all ere you came, and bless him did I? And, moreover, blessed shall he be!"

³ Your people shall be willing in the day of Your potent power; In holy effulgence from the womb of the dawn, You will have the dew of Your childhood."

⁹ And you should not be presuming to be saying among yourselves, 'For a father we have Abraham,' for I am saying to you that able is God, out of these stones to rouse children to Abraham.

³ Jesus answered and said to him, "Verily, verily, I am saying to you, If anyone should not be begotten anew, he can not perceive the kingdom of God."

⁵ Jesus answered, "Verily, verily, I am saying to you, If anyone should not be begotten of water and of spirit, he can not be entering into the kingdom of God." ⁶ That which is begotten by the flesh is flesh, and that which is begotten by the spirit is spirit." ⁷ You should not be marveling that I said to you, 'You must be begotten anew.'" ⁸ The blast is blowing where it wills, and the sound of it you are hearing, but you are not aware whence it is coming and where it is going. Thus is everyone who is begotten by the water and the spirit."

³³ They answered Him, "The seed of Abraham are we, and we have never been slaves of anyone. How are you saying that 'You shall be becoming free'? ³⁴ Jesus answered them, "Verily, verily, I am saying to you that everyone who is doing sin, is a slave of sin." ³⁵ Now the slave is not remaining in the house for the eon. The son is remaining for the eon. ³⁶ If ever, then, the Son should be making you free, you will be really free." ³⁷ I am aware that you are Abraham's seed. But you are seeking to kill Me, for My word has no room in you." ³⁸ What I have seen with My Father am I speaking. You also, then, what you hear from your father are doing." ³⁹ They answered and say to Him, "Our father is Abraham.Jesus answered them, "If you are children of Abraham, did you ever do the works of Abraham? ⁴⁰ Yet now you are seeking to kill Me, a Man Who has spoken to you the truth which I hear from God. This Abraham does not do." ⁴¹ Yet you are doing the works of your father.They say to Him, "We were not born of prostitution! One Father have we, God!"

¹ The truth am I telling in Christ, I am not lying, my conscience testifying together with me in holy spirit, ² 2 That my sorrow is great, and unintermittent pain is in my heart -" ³ for I myself wished to be anathema from Christ - for my brethren, my relatives according to the flesh, ⁴ who are Israelites, whose is the sonship and the glory and the covenants and the legislation and the divine service and the promises;" ⁵ whose are the fathers, and out of whom is the Christ according to the flesh, Who is over all, God be blessed for the eons. Amen!"

⁷ neither that Abraham's seed are all children, but "In Isaac shall your seed be called." ⁸ That is, that the children of the flesh, not these are the children of God, but the children of the promise is He reckoning for the seed." ⁹ For the word of the promise is this: At "this seasonI shall come "and there will be for Sarah a son." ¹⁰ Yet, not only so, but Rebecca also is having her bed of one, Isaac, our father." ¹¹ For, not as yet being born, nor putting into practice anything good or bad, that the purpose of God may be remaining as a choice, not out of acts, but of Him Who is calling, ¹² it was declared to her that "The greater shall be slaving for the inferior, ¹³ According as it is written, "Jacob I love, yet Esau I hate." ¹⁴ What, then, shall we be declaring? Not that there is injustice with God? May it not be coming to that!" ¹⁵ For to Moses He is saying, "I shall be merciful to whomever I may be merciful, and I shall be pitying whomever I may be pitying." ¹⁶ Consequently, then, it is not of him who is willing, nor of him who is racing, but of God, the Merciful."

¹ Indeed, brethren, the delight of my heart and my petition to God for their sake is for salvation." ² For I am testifying to them that they have a zeal of God, but not in accord with recognition." ³ For they, being ignorant of the righteousness of God, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, were not subjected to the righteousness of God."

⁶ I plant, Apollos irrigates, but God makes it grow up."

¹³ for it is God Who is operating in you to will as well as to work for the sake of His delight.

⁵ not for works which are wrought in righteousness which we do, but according to His mercy, He saves us, through the bath of renascence and renewal of holy spirit,

¹⁸ By intention, He teems forth us by the word of truth, for us to be some firstfruit of His own creatures."

³ Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, Who, according to His vast mercy, regenerates us into a living expectation, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from among the dead,

²³ having been regenerated, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, through the word of God, living and permanent,

² as recently born babes, long for the unadulterated milk of the word that by it you may be growing into salvation,

²⁸ And now, little children, remain in Him, that, if He should be manifested, we should be having boldness and not be put to shame by Him in His presence." ²⁹ If you should be perceiving that He is just, you know that everyone also who is doing righteousness is begotten of Him."

⁹ Everyone who is begotten of God is not doing sin, for His seed is remaining in him, and he can not be sinning, for he is begotten of God."

⁷ Beloved, we should be loving one another, for love is of God, and everyone who is loving God is begotten of God, and knows God."

¹ Everyone who is believing that Jesus is the Christ is begotten of God. And everyone who is loving Him Who begets is loving him also who is begotten by Him.

⁴ for all that is begotten of God is conquering the world. And this is the conquest that conquers the world: our faith.

¹⁸ We are aware that everyone who has been begotten of God is not sinning, but he who is begotten of God is keeping himself, and the wicked one is not touching him."

⁷ Let me recount the statute of Yahweh:He has said to Me, My Son are You; I, today, have begotten You.

² You are lovely beyond the sons of humanity; Grace is poured out onto Your lips; Therefore Elohim has blessed You for the eon.

⁵ And revealed is the glory of Yahweh, and all flesh sees the salvation of Elohim.For the mouth of Yahweh speaks."

² And He is coming up as a layer-plant before Him, and as a root sprout from earth that is arid. No shape has He nor honor when we shall see Him, and no appearance nor loveliness that we will covet Him."

¹ Light up! Light up, Jerusalem! For come has your light, and the glory of Yahweh over you is radiant." ² For behold! The darkness is covering the earth, and murkiness the folkstems, yet, over you, radiant is Yahweh, and His glory over you is appearing."

¹⁶ now Jacob begets Joseph, the husband of Mary of whom was born Jesus, Who is termed "Christ."

²⁰ Now at his brooding over these things, lo! a messenger of the Lord appeared to him in a trance, saying, "Joseph, son of David, you may not be afraid to accept Miriam, your wife, for that which is being generated in her is of holy spirit. ²¹ Now she shall be bringing forth a Son, and you shall be calling His name Jesus, for He shall be saving His people from their sins." ²² Now the whole of this has occurred that that may be fulfilled which is declared by the Lord through the prophet, saying: ²³ "Lo! The virgin shall be pregnant
And shall be bringing forth a Son,
And they shall be calling His name 'Emmanuel,'
which is, being construed, "God with us."

¹ And after six days Jesus is taking aside Peter and James and John, his brother, and is bringing them up into a high mountain, privately, ² and was transformed in front of them. And His face shines as the sun, yet His garments became white as the light." ³ And lo! Moses and Elijah were seen by them, conferring with Him." ⁴ Now, answering, Peter said to Jesus, "Lord, it is ideal for us to be here! If Thou art willing, I shall be making three tabernacles here, for Thee one, and for Moses one, and for Elijah one." ⁵ While he is still speaking, lo! a luminous cloud overshadows them, and lo! a voice out of the cloud, saying, "This is My Son, the Beloved, in Whom I delight. Hear Him!"

³¹ And lo! you shall be conceiving and be pregnant and be bringing forth a Son, and you shall be calling His name Jesus." ³² He shall be great, and Son of the Most High shall He be called. And the Lord God shall be giving Him the throne of David, ³³ His father, and He shall reign over the house of Jacob for the eons. And of His kingdom there shall be no consummation." ³⁴ Yet Miriam said to the messenger, "How shall this be, since I know not a man? ³⁵ And answering, the messenger said to her, "Holy spirit shall be coming on you, and the power of the Most High shall be overshadowing you; wherefore also the holy One Who is being generated shall be called the Son of God."

⁷ And she brought forth her Son, the firstborn, and swaddles Him, and cradles Him in a manger, because there was no place for them in the caravansary."

¹¹ for today was brought forth to you a Saviour, Who is Christ, the Lord,

³² Now Peter and those with Him were heavy with sleep. Yet, becoming alert, they perceived His glory and the two men who stand together with Him."

¹ In the beginning was the word, and the word was toward God, and God was the word. "

¹⁶ for of that which fills Him we all obtained, and grace for grace." ¹⁷ For the law through Moses was given; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. ¹⁸ God no one has ever seen. The only-begotten God, Who is in the bosom of the Father, He unfolds Him."

¹¹ This beginning of the signs Jesus does in Cana of Galilee, and manifests His glory, and His disciples believe in Him."

¹⁶ For thus God loves the world, so that He gives His only-begotten Son, that everyone who is believing in Him should not be perishing, but may be having life eonian."

⁵¹ I am the living Bread which descends out of heaven. If anyone should be eating of this Bread, he shall be living for the eon. Now the Bread also, which I shall be giving for the sake of the life of the world, is My flesh."

⁴⁰ Jesus is saying to her, "Did I not say to you that, if ever you should be believing, you should be seeing the glory of God?

⁴⁰ that He has blinded their eyes and callouses their heart, lest they may be perceiving with their eyes, and should be apprehending with their heart, and may be turning about, and I shall be healing them." ⁴¹ These things Isaiah said, seeing that he perceived His glory, and speaks concerning Him."

⁹ Jesus is saying to him, "So much time I am with you, and you do not know Me, Philip! He who has seen Me has seen the Father, and how are you saying, 'Show us the Father'?

²² And I have given them the glory which Thou has given Me, that they may be one, according as We are One,

³³ that God has fully fulfilled this for our children in raising Jesus, as it is written in the second psalm also, 'My Son art Thou; I, today, have begotten Thee.'"

³ concerning His Son (Who comes of the seed of David according to the flesh, ⁴ Who is designated Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection of the dead),

³ For what was impossible to the law, in which it was infirm through the flesh, did God, sending His own Son in the likeness of sin's flesh and concerning sin, He condemns sin in the flesh,

⁴⁷ The first man was out of the earth, soilish; the second Man is the Lord out of heaven."

⁴ in whom the god of this eon blinds the apprehensions of the unbelieving so that the illumination of the evangel of the glory of Christ, Who is the Image of the invisible God, does not irradiate them." ⁵ For we are not heralding ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord, yet ourselves your slaves because of Jesus, ⁶ for the God Who says that, out of darkness light shall be shining, is He Who shines in our hearts, with a view to the illumination of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ."

⁹ And He has protested to me, "Sufficient for you is My grace, for My power in infirmity is being perfected.With the greatest relish, then, will I rather be glorying in my infirmities, that the power of Christ should be tabernacling over me. "

⁸ To me, less than the least of all saints, was granted this grace: to bring the evangel of the untraceable riches of Christ to the nations,

¹⁸ should be strong to grasp, together with all the saints, what is the breadth and length and depth and height" ¹⁹ to know the love of Christ as well which transcends knowledge - that you may be completed for the entire complement of God.

⁶ Who, being inherently in the form of God, deems it not pillaging to be equal with God, ⁷ nevertheless empties Himself, taking the form of a slave, coming to be in the likeness of humanity, ⁸ and, being found in fashion as a human, He humbles Himself, becoming obedient unto death, even the death of the cross."

¹⁹ for in Him the entire complement delights to dwell,

³ in Whom all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge are concealed.

⁹ for in Him the entire complement of the Deity is dwelling bodily.

¹⁴ Yet the grace of our Lord overwhelms, with faith and love in Christ Jesus." ¹⁵ Faithful is the saying, and worthy of all welcome, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, foremost of whom am I." ¹⁶ But therefore was I shown mercy, that in me, the foremost, Jesus Christ should be displaying all His patience, for a pattern of those who are about to be believing on Him for life eonian."

³ Who, being the Effulgence of His glory and Emblem of His assumption, besides carrying on all by His powerful declaration, making a cleansing of sins, is seated at the right hand of the Majesty in the heights;"

⁵ For to whom of the messengers said He at any time, "My Son art Thou! I, today, have begotten Thee"? And again, "I shall be to Him for a Father And He shall be to Me for a Son"?

¹¹ For both He Who is hallowing and those who are being hallowed are all of One, for which cause He is not ashamed to be calling them brethren,

¹⁴ Since, then, the little children have participated in blood and flesh, He also was very nigh by partaking of the same, that, through death, He should be discarding him who has the might of death, that is, the Adversary, ¹⁵ and should be clearing those whoever, in fear of death, were through their entire life liable to slavery." ¹⁶ For assuredly it is not taking hold of messengers, but it is taking hold of the seed of Abraham." ¹⁷ Whence He ought, in all things, to be made like the brethren, that He may be becoming a merciful and faithful Chief Priest in that which is toward God, to make a propitiatory shelter for the sins of the people."

⁵ Thus Christ also does not glorify Himself by becoming a chief priest, but He Who speaks to Him, "My Son art Thou! I, today, have begotten Thee,

⁵ Wherefore, entering into the world, He is saying, Sacrifice and approach present Thou dost not will, Yet a body dost Thou adapt to Me."

⁴ Whom approaching, a living Stone, having been rejected indeed by men, yet chosen by God, held in honor, ⁵ you, also, as living stones, are being built up a spiritual house, into a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, most acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. " ⁶ Because of this it is included in the scripture: Lo! I am laying in Zion a corner capstone, chosen, held in honor, and he who is believing on it may by no means be disgraced." ⁷ To you, then, who are believing, is the honor, yet to the unbelieving: "A Stone which is rejected by the builders, this came to be for the head of the corner,

¹⁶ For not by following wisely made myths do we make known to you the power and presence of our Lord, Jesus Christ, but by becoming spectators of His magnificence." ¹⁷ For He got from God, the Father, the honor and glory of the voice, being carried to Him in such a way by the Glory Magnifical: "This is My Son, the Beloved, in Whom I delight!"

² In this you know the spirit of God: every spirit which is avowing Jesus Christ, having come in flesh, is of God, ³ and every spirit which is not avowing Jesus the Lord having come in flesh is not of God. And this is that of the antichrist, of which you have heard that it is coming, and is now already in the world."

⁹ In this was manifested the love of God among us, that God has dispatched His only-begotten Son into the world that we should be living through Him."

¹⁴ And we have gazed upon Him, and are testifying that the Father has dispatched the Son, the Saviour of the world."

⁷ for many deceivers came out into the world, who are not avowing Jesus Christ coming in flesh. This is the deceiver and the antichrist."

³ And I hear a loud voice out of the throne saying, "Lo! the tabernacle of God is with mankind, and He will be tabernacling with them, and they will be His peoples, and God Himself will be with them."

²² Yahweh Himself acquired me as the beginning of His way; Preceeding His deeds of yore.

² And you, Bethlehem Ephratah, inferior to be among the mentors of Judah, from you shall One fare forth for Me to become the Ruler in Israel; yet His farings forth are from aforetime, from days eonian."

¹¹ For I, indeed, am baptizing you in water for repentance, yet He Who is coming after me is stronger than I, Whose sandals I am not competent to bear. He will be baptizing you in holy spirit and fire,

¹³ Then Jesus is coming along from Galilee to the Jordan to John to be baptized by him. ¹⁴ Yet John prohibited Him, saying, "I have need to be baptized by Thee, and Thou art coming to me!" ¹⁵ Yet, answering, Jesus said to him, "by your leave, at present, for thus it is becoming for us to fulfill all righteousness.Then he is giving Him leave. ¹⁶ Now, being baptized, Jesus straightway stepped up from the water, and lo! opened up to Him were the heavens, and He perceived the spirit of God descending as if a dove, and coming on Him. ¹⁷ And lo! a voice out of the heavens, saying, "This is My Son, the Beloved, in Whom I delight."

⁷ And he heralds, saying, "Coming, after me, is One stronger than I, the thong of Whose sandals I am not competent to stoop and loose."

¹⁶ John answers, saying to all, "I, indeed, in water am baptizing you. Yet coming is One stronger than I, the thong of Whose sandals I am not competent to loose. He will be baptizing you in holy spirit and fire,

¹ In the beginning was the word, and the word was toward God, and God was the word. " ² This was in the beginning toward God.

⁷ This one came for a testimony, that he should be testifying concerning the light, that all should be believing through it." ⁸ Not he was the light, but he came that he should be testifying concerning the light. "

²⁷ He it is Who, coming after me, has come to be in front of me, of Whom I am not worthy that I should be loosing the thong of His sandal."

²⁹ On the morrow he is observing Jesus coming toward him, and is saying, "Lo! the Lamb of God Which is taking away the sin of the world!" ³⁰ This is He concerning Whom I said, 'After me is coming a Man Who has come to be in front of me,' for He was First, before me." ³¹ And I was not aware of Him. But that He may be manifested to Israel, therefore came I, baptizing in water."

³³ You have dispatched to John, and he has testified to the truth." ³⁴ Yet I am not getting the testimony from man, but I am saying these things that you may be saved." ³⁵ He was a lamp, burning and appearing, yet you want to exult an hour in its light." ³⁶ Now I have a testimony greater than John's. For the works which the Father has given Me that I should be perfecting them, the works themselves which I am doing are testifying concerning Me that the Father has commissioned Me."

⁵⁸ Jesus said to them, "Verily, verily, I am saying to you, Ere Abraham came into being, I am."

⁶ Who, being inherently in the form of God, deems it not pillaging to be equal with God, ⁷ nevertheless empties Himself, taking the form of a slave, coming to be in the likeness of humanity,

¹⁷ And when I perceived Him, I fall at His feet as dead. And He places His right hand on me, saying, "Do not fear! I am the First and the Last, ¹⁸ and the Living One: and I became dead, and lo! living am I for the eons of the eons. (Amen!) And I have the keys of death and of the unseen."

⁷ What are you, great mountain? Before Zerubbabel you are to be a level plain. And he shall bring forth the headstone with tumults:Grace, grace to it!"

¹⁴ Yet John prohibited Him, saying, "I have need to be baptized by Thee, and Thou art coming to me!"

¹² For anyone who has, to him shall be given, and he shall have a superfluity. Yet anyone who has not, that also which he has shall be taken away from him."

¹⁵ for I will be giving you a mouth and wisdom, which all those opposing you shall not be able to withstand or contradict."

³⁴ For He Whom God commissions is speaking God's declarations, for God is not giving the spirit by measure."

¹ I am the true Grapevine, and My Father is the Farmer." ² Every branch in Me bringing forth no fruit, He is taking it away, and every one bringing forth fruit, He is cleansing it, that it may be bringing forth more fruit." ³ Already you are clean because of the word which I have spoken to you. ⁴ Remain in Me. I also am in you. According as the branch can not be bringing forth fruit from itself, if it should not be remaining in the grapevine, thus neither you, if you should not be remaining in Me." ⁵ I am the Grapevine. You are the branches. He who is remaining in Me, and I in him, this one is bringing forth much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing."

¹² Now, perceiving it, Peter answers the people: "Men! Israelites! Why are you marveling at this? Or why at us are you looking so intently, as if by our own power or devoutness we had made him walk? ¹³ The God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob, the God of our fathers, glorifies His Boy Jesus, Whom you, indeed, give up and disown before the face of Pilate, when he decides to release Him." ¹⁴ Now you disown the holy and just One, and request a man, a murderer, to be surrendered to you as a favor." ¹⁵ Yet the Inaugurator of Life you kill, Whom God rouses from among the dead, of which we are witnesses." ¹⁶ And in the faith of His name, His name gives stability to this man whom you are beholding, with whom, also, you are acquainted, and the faith which is through Him, gives him this unimpaired soundness in front of you all."

² through Whom we have the access also, by faith, into this grace in which we stand, and we may be glorying in expectation of the glory of God."

¹⁷ For if, by the offense of the one, death reigns through the one, much rather, those obtaining the superabundance of grace and the gratuity of righteousness shall be reigning in life through the One, Jesus Christ."

²⁰ Yet law came in by the way, that the offense should be increasing. Yet where sin increases, grace superexceeds,

⁹ Yet you are not in flesh, but in spirit, if so be that God's spirit is making its home in you. Now if anyone has not Christ's spirit, this one is not His."

⁴ I am thanking my God always concerning you over the grace of God which is being given you in Christ Jesus, ⁵ for in everything are you enriched in him, in all expression and all knowledge, ⁶ for the laud of the glory of His grace, which graces us in the Beloved:" ⁷ in Whom we are having the deliverance through His blood, the forgiveness of offenses in accord with the riches of His grace, ⁸ which He lavishes on us; in all wisdom and prudence

²³ which is His body, the complement of the One completing the all in all."

⁵ (we also being dead to the offenses and the lusts), vivifies us together in Christ (in grace are you saved!)" ⁶ and rouses us together and seats us together among the celestials, in Christ Jesus, ⁷ that, in the oncoming eons, He should be displaying the transcendent riches of His grace in His kindness to us in Christ Jesus." ⁸ For in grace, through faith, are you saved, and this is not out of you; it is God's approach present, ⁹ not of works, lest anyone should be boasting." ¹⁰ For His achievement are we, being created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God makes ready beforehand, that we should be walking in them."

¹⁹ to know the love of Christ as well which transcends knowledge - that you may be completed for the entire complement of God.

⁷ Now to each one of us was given grace in accord with the measure of the gratuity of Christ. ⁸ Wherefore He is saying, Ascending on high, He captures captivity And gives gifts to mankind." ⁹ Now the 'He ascended,' what is it except that He first descended also into the lower parts of the earth? ¹⁰ He Who descends is the Same Who ascends also, up over all who are of the heavens, that He should be completing all." ¹¹ And the same One gives these, indeed, as apostles, yet these as prophets, yet these as evangelists, yet these as pastors and teachers, ¹² toward the adjusting of the saints for the work of dispensing, for the upbuilding of the body of Christ, ¹³ unto the end that we should all attain to the unity of the faith and of the realization of the son of God, to a mature man, to the measure of the stature of the complement of the Christ,

⁹ for in Him the entire complement of the Deity is dwelling bodily. ¹⁰ And you are complete in Him, Who is the Head of every sovereignty and authority,

² according to the foreknowledge of God, the Father, in holiness of spirit, for obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: May grace and peace be multiplied to you!"

¹¹ searching into what or what manner of era the spirit of Christ in them made evident, when testifying beforehand to the sufferings pertaining to Christ and the glories after these."

¹⁵ And enmity am I setting between you and the woman, and between your seed and her seed. He shall hurt your head and you shall hurt his heel.

¹⁸ and blessed, in your seed, shall be all the nations of the earth, inasmuch as you hearken to My voice.

¹ Elohim spoke all these words, saying. ² I am Yahweh your Elohim Who brought you forth from the land of Egypt, from the house of servants. ³ You shall not come to have other elohim in preference to Me. ⁴ You shall not make for yourself a carving nor any representation of that in the heavens above or that on the earth beneath, or that in the waters beneath the earth. ⁵ You shall not bow yourself down to them, nor be made to serve them, for I, Yahweh your Elohim, am a jealous El, visiting the depravity of the fathers on the sons, on the third and on the fourth generation, to those hating Me, ⁶ yet doing kindness to thousands, to those loving Me and observing My instructions. ⁷ You shall not take up the name of Yahweh your Elohim for futility, for Yahweh shall not hold innocent him who takes up His name for futility. ⁸ You are to remember the sabbath day to hallow it. ⁹ Six days shall you serve and do all your work, ¹⁰ yet the seventh day is a sabbath to Yahweh your Elohim. You shall not do any work, you, your son or your daughter, your servant or your maidservant, your bull, your donkey or your beast, or your sojourner who is within your gates. ¹¹ For in six days Yahweh dealt with the heavens and earth, the sea and all that is in them, and He stopped on the seventh day. Therefore, Yahweh blessed the sabbath day and hallowed it. ¹² Glorify your father and your mother, that your days may be prolonged on the ground which Yahweh your Elohim is giving to you. ¹³ You shall not murder. ¹⁴ You shall not commit adultery. ¹⁵ You shall not steal. ¹⁶ You shall not answer against your associate with false testimony. ¹⁷ You shall not covet the house of your associate. You shall not covet the wife of your associate, his field, his servant or his maidservant, his bull, his donkey or anything which is your associate's.

⁴⁴ This is the law that Moses placed before the sons of Israel.

¹ Moses called to all Israel and said to them:Hear, Israel, the statutes and the judgments that I am speaking in your ears today, that you learn them and observe to obey them.

⁴ about the law Moses enjoined on us, the tenancy of the assembly of Jacob.

¹⁰ Benignity and Truth, they will encounter; Righteousness and Peace, they will kiss."

¹ {Contemplating, For Ethan the Ezrahite{ Of the benignity of Yahweh will I sing for the eon; For generation after generation shall I make known Your faithfulness with my mouth." ² For I have said, Eonian benignity shall be built; You shall establish Your faithfulness in the heavens themselves."

³ He has remembered His benignity and His faithfulness to the house of Israel; All the limits of the earth have seen the salvation of our Elohim.

²⁰ You wilt render the truth to Jacob, the kindness to Abraham, which You swear to our forefathers from days aforetime."

⁵⁴ He supported Israel, His boy, To be reminded of mercy" ⁵⁵ (According as He speaks to our fathers) To Abraham and to his seed, for the eon."

⁶⁸ Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel, For He visits, and makes a redemption for His people, ⁶⁹ And rouses a horn of salvation for us In the house of David, His boy, ⁷⁰ According as He speaks through the mouth of His holy prophets, who are from the eon; " ⁷¹ Salvation from our enemies, And out of the hand of all those who are hating us, ⁷² To do mercy with our fathers, And to be reminded of His holy covenant, ⁷³ The oath which He swears to Abraham our father, ⁷⁴ To grant to us, being rescued out of the hand of our enemies, To be fearlessly offering divine service to Him" ⁷⁵ In benignity and righteousness in His sight all our days. ⁷⁶ Now you, also, little boy, a prophet of the Most High shall be called, For you shall be going before in the sight of the Lord To make ready His roads, ⁷⁷ To give the knowledge of salvation to His people In the pardon of their sins,

⁴⁵ Be not supposing that I shall be accusing you to the Father. He who is accusing you to the Father is Moses, on whom you rely."

¹⁹ Has not Moses given you the law? And not one of you is doing the law! Why are you seeking to kill Me?

³² and you will know the truth, and the truth will be making you free."

²⁹ We are aware that it was to Moses that God has spoken. Yet this man - we are not aware whence he is."

³⁸ This is he who came to be in the ecclesia in the wilderness with the messenger, who speaks to him in mount Sinai, and with our fathers, who receives the living oracles to give to you,

³⁴ Now, seeing that He raises Him from among the dead, by no means longer about to return to decay, He has thus declared that, I shall be giving you the faithful benignities of David.'" ³⁵ Wherefore, in a different place also, He is saying, 'Thou wilt not be giving Thy Benign One to be acquainted with decay.'" ³⁶ For David, indeed, subserving his own generation by God's counsel, was put to repose, and was added to his fathers, and was acquainted with decay;" ³⁷ yet He Whom God rouses was not acquainted with decay. ³⁸ Let it then be known to you, men, brethren that through this One is being announced to you the pardon of sins, ³⁹ and from all from which you could not be justified in the law of Moses, in this One everyone who is believing is being justified."

²³ Now setting a day for him, more came to him in the lodging, to whom he expounded, certifying to the kingdom of God, besides persuading them concerning Jesus, both from the law of Moses and the prophets, from morning till dusk."

¹⁹ Now we are aware that, whatever the law is saying, it is speaking to those under the law, that every mouth may be barred, and the entire world may become subject to the just verdict of God, ²⁰ because, by works of law, no flesh at all shall be justified in His sight, for through law is the recognition of sin." ²¹ Yet now, apart from law, a righteousness of God is manifest (being attested by the law and the prophets), ²² yet a righteousness of God through Jesus Christ's faith, for all, and on all who are believing, for there is no distinction, ²³ for all sinned and are wanting of the glory of God. ²⁴ Being justified gratuitously in His grace, through the deliverance which is in Christ Jesus" ²⁵ (Whom God purposed for a Propitiatory shelter, through faith in His blood, for a display of His righteousness because of the passing over of the penalties of sins which occurred before in the forbearance of God), ²⁶ toward the display of His righteousness in the current era, for Him to be just and a Justifier of the one who is of the faith of Jesus."

²⁰ Yet law came in by the way, that the offense should be increasing. Yet where sin increases, grace superexceeds, ²¹ that, even as Sin reigns in death, thus Grace also should be reigning through righteousness, for life eonian, through Jesus Christ, our Lord."

¹⁴ For Sin shall not be lording it over you, for you are not under law, but under grace."

⁸ For I am saying that Christ has become the Servant of the Circumcision, for the sake of the truth of God, to confirm the patriarchal promises." ⁹ Yet the nations are to glorify God for His mercy, according as it is written, "Therefore I shall be acclaiming Thee among the nations,And to Thy name shall I be playing music." ¹⁰ And again he is saying, "Be merry, ye nations, with His people!" ¹¹ And again he is saying, "Praise the Lord, all the nations,And "let all the peoples laud Him." ¹² And again Isaiah is saying, there will be "the root of Jesse, And He Who is rising to Chief of the nations: On Him will the nations rely."

²⁰ For whatever promises are of God, are in Him "Yes.Wherefore through Him also is the "Amento God, for glory, through us."

⁷ (Now if the dispensation of death, by letters chiseled in stone, came in glory, so that the sons of Israel were not able to look intently into the face of Moses, because of the glory of his face, which was being nullified, ⁸ how shall not rather the dispensation of the spirit be in glory? ⁹ For if in the dispensation of condemnation is glory, much rather the dispensation of righteousness is exceeding in glory." ¹⁰ For that also which has been glorified has not been glorified in this particular, on account of the glory transcendent."

¹⁰ For whoever are of works of law are under a curse, for it written that, Accursed is everyone who is not remaining in all things written in the scroll of the law to do them." ¹¹ Now that in law no one is being justified with God is evident, for the just one by faith shall be living." ¹² Now the law is not of faith, but who does them "shall be living in them." ¹³ Christ reclaims us from the curse of the law, becoming a curse for our sakes, for it is written, Accursed is everyone hanging on a pole,

¹⁷ Now this am I saying: a covenant, having been ratified before by God, the law, having come four hundred and thirty years afterward, does not invalidate,

⁵ And Moses, indeed, was faithful in His whole house as an attendant, for a testimony of that which shall be spoken." ⁶ Yet Christ, as a Son over His house-Whose house we are, that is, if we should be retaining the boldness and the glorying of the expectation confirmed unto the consummation."

⁸ For, blaming them, He is saying, "Lo! the days are coming,the Lord is saying, "And I shall be concluding with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah a new covenant, ⁹ Not in accord with the covenant which I make with their fathers In the day of My taking hold of their hand To be leading them out of the land of Egypt, Seeing that they do not remain in My covenant, And I neglect them,the Lord is saying, ¹⁰ For this is the covenant which I shall be covenanting with the house of Israel after those days,the Lord is saying: "Imparting My laws to their comprehension, On their hearts, also, shall I be inscribing them, And I shall be to them for a God, And they shall be to Me for a people." ¹¹ And by no means should each be teaching his fellow citizen, And each his brother, saying, 'Know the Lord!' For all shall be acquainted with Me, From their little to their great, ¹² For I shall be propitious to their injustices, And of their sins and their lawlessnesses should I under no circumstances still be reminded."

²² And almost all is being cleansed in blood according to the law, and apart from bloodshedding is coming no pardon."

⁴ for it is impossible for the blood of bulls and of he-goats to be eliminating sins. ⁵ Wherefore, entering into the world, He is saying, Sacrifice and approach present Thou dost not will, Yet a body dost Thou adapt to Me." ⁶ In ascent approaches and those concerning sin Thou dost not delight. ⁷ Then said I, "Lo! I am arriving-In the summary of the scroll it is written concerning Me-To do Thy will, O God." ⁸ Further up, when saying that "Sacrifice and approach present and ascent approaches and those concerning sin Thou dost not will, neither dost Thou delight in them(which are being offered according to law), ⁹ then He has declared, "Lo! I am arriving to do Thy will, O God!He is despatching the first, that He should be establishing the second." ¹⁰ By which will we are hallowed through the approach present of the body of Jesus Christ once for all time.

³⁹ And these all, being testified to through faith, are not requited with the promise of God concerning us" ⁴⁰ (the looking forward is to something better), that, apart from us, they may not be perfected."

⁸ And when It took the scroll, the four animals and the twenty-four elders fall before the Lambkin, each having a lyre, and golden bowls brimming with incenses, which are the prayers of the saints." ⁹ And they are singing a new song, saying, "Worthy art Thou to be taking the scroll and to open its seals, For Thou wast slain and dost buy us for God by Thy blood. Out of every tribe and language and people and nation." ¹⁰ Thou dost also make them a kingdom and a priesthood for our God, And they shall be reigning on the earth."

⁹ After these things I perceived, and lo! a vast throng which no one was able to number, out of every nation and out of the tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lambkin, clothed in white robes and with palm fronds in their hands." ¹⁰ And they are crying with a loud voice, saying, "Salvation be our God's, Who is sitting on the throne, And the Lambkin's!" ¹¹ And all the messengers stood around the throne and the elders and the four animals. And they fall on their faces before the throne and worship God, ¹² saying, "Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom and thanks and honor and power and strength be our God's for the eons of the eons. Amen!" ¹³ And one of the elders answered, saying to me, "These clothed in white robes, who are they, and whence came they? ¹⁴ And I have declared to him: "My lord, you are aware.And he said to me, "These are those coming out of the great affliction. And they rinse their robes, and they whiten them in the blood of the Lambkin." ¹⁵ Therefore they are before the throne of God and are offering divine service to Him day and night in His temple. And He Who is sitting on the throne will be tabernacling over them. ¹⁶ They shall not be hungering longer, nor yet shall they be thirsting any longer; no, neither should the sun be falling on them, nor any heat, ¹⁷ seeing that the throne-centered Lambkin shall be shepherding them, and shall be guiding them to living springs of water, and every tear shall God be brushing away from their eyes."

²⁸ And saying is He to him, "Not Jacob shall your name be called longer, but rather Israel is your name. For upright are you with the Elohim and with mortals, and are prevailing. ²⁹ And asking is Jacob and saying, "Tell me, pray, your name.And saying is He, "Why is this that you are asking for My name?And blessing him is He there. ³⁰ And calling is Jacob the name of the place Peniel, "for I see the Elohim face to face, and rescued is my soul.

¹⁵ And blessing them is he and saying, "The Elohim before Whom my forefathers, Abraham and Isaac, walked, the Elohim, my Shepherd from my youth till this day, ¹⁶ the Messenger, my Redeemer from all evil, bless these youths. And called on them shall be my name, and the name of my forefathers, Abraham and Isaac. And prolific shall they be, to make a vast increase within the land.

²¹ Guard yourself in view of him and hear his voice. Do not embitter him, for he shall not bear with your transgression, for My name is within him.

¹⁸ Now he said: Show me, I pray, Your glory. ¹⁹ And He said: I shall pass all My goodness before you and proclaim My name, Yahweh, before you; I will be gracious to whom I am being gracious and will have compassion for whom I am having compassion. ²⁰ He also said: You cannot see My face, for no human shall see Me and live. ²¹ Then Yahweh said: Behold! There is a place by Me, and you will station yourself on the rock. ²² So it will come to be when My glory passes by that I will place you in a fissure of the rock. And I will overshadow you with My palm until I pass by. ²³ Then I will take away My palm, and you will see My back, yet My face shall not appear.

⁵ Then Yahweh descended in a cloud and stationed Himself with him there; and he called the name of Yahweh. ⁶ Now Yahweh passed by before his face and called: Yahweh, Yahweh El, Who is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger and with much kindness and truth, ⁷ preserving kindness to thousands, bearing with depravity, transgression and sin, yet He is not immediately making innocent in order to make innocent, but visiting the depravity of the fathers on the sons and on the sons' sons, on the third and on the fourth generation.

⁸ Mouth to mouth am I speaking with him, and manifestly, not in enigmas, so that he looks at a representation of Yahweh. So for what reason did you not fear to speak against My servant, against Moses?

¹² and Yahweh spoke to you from the midst of the fire; you were hearing the sound of words, yet you were not seeing a physical representation, nothing except a voice.

¹³ And it comes to pass in Joshua's being by Jericho, that he lifts up his eyes, and looks, and lo, one standing over-against him, and his drawn sword in his hand, and Joshua goes unto him, and said to him, `Are you for us or for our adversaries?.

¹² and the messenger of Yahweh appears unto him, and said unto him, `Yahweh [is] with you, O mighty one of valor.. <sup>13</sup> And Gideon said unto him, `O, my lord--and Yahweh is with us! --and why has all this found us? and where [are] all His wonders which our fathers recounted to us, saying, Has not Yahweh brought us up out of Egypt? and now Yahweh has left us, and does give us into the hand of Midian.. ¹⁴ And Yahweh turns unto him and said, `Go in this--your power; and you have saved Israel out of the hand of Midian--have not I sent you.. <sup>15</sup> And he said unto him, `O, my lord, wherewith do I save Israel? lo, my chief [is] weak in Manasseh, and I the least in the house of my father.. ¹⁶ And Yahweh said unto him, `Because I am with you--you have smitten the Midianites as one man.. <sup>17</sup> And he said unto Him, `If, I pray You, I have found grace in Your eyes, then You have done for me a sign that You are speaking with me. ¹⁸ Move not, I pray You, from this, till my coming in unto You, and I have brought out my present, and put it before You;' and he said, `I--I do abide till your return.. <sup>19</sup> And Gideon has gone in, and prepares a kid of the goats, and of an ephah of flour unleavened things; the flesh he has put in a basket, and the broth he has put in a pot, and he brings out unto Him, unto the place of the oak, and brings [it] nigh. <sup>20</sup> And the messenger of Elohim said unto him, `Take the flesh and the unleavened things, and place on this rock--and the broth pour out;' and he does so. ²¹ And the messenger of Yahweh puts forth the end of the staff which [is] in His hand, and comes against the flesh, and against the unleavened things, and the fire goes up out of the rock and consumes the flesh and the unleavened things--and the messenger of Yahweh has gone from his eyes. ²² And Gideon sees that He [is] a messenger of Yahweh, and Gideon said, `Alas, Lord Yahweh! because that I have seen a messenger of Yahweh face to face!. <sup>23</sup> And Yahweh said to him, `Peace to you; fear not; you do not die.. ²⁴ And Gideon builds there an altar to Yahweh, and calls it Yahweh-Shalom, unto this day it [is] yet in Ophrah of the Abi-Ezrites. ²⁵ And it comes to pass, on that night, that Yahweh said to him, `Take the young ox which [is] to your father, and the second bullock of seven years, and you have thrown down the altar of Baal which [is] to your father, and the shrine which [is] by it you do cut down, ²⁶ and you have built an altar to Yahweh your Elohim on the top of this stronghold, by the arrangement, and have taken the second bullock, and caused to ascend a burnt-offering with the wood of the shrine which you cut down..

²⁰ and it comes to pass, in the going up of the flame from off the altar toward the heavens, that the messenger of Yahweh goes up in the flame of the altar, and Manoah and his wife are looking on, and they fall on their faces to the earth, ²¹ and the messenger of Yahweh has not added again to appear unto Manoah, and unto his wife, then has Manoah known that He [is] a messenger of Yahweh. ²² And Manoah said unto his wife, `We certainly die, for we have seen Elohim.. <sup>23</sup> And his wife said to him, `If Yahweh were desirous to put us to death, He had not received from our hands burnt-offering and present, nor showed us all these things, nor as [at this] time caused us to hear [anything] like this..

³⁰ Then I was beside Him as His foster child, And I was filled with bliss day by day, Gamboling before Him all the time,

¹ In the year of the death of king Uzziah, I am seeing Yahweh, sitting on a throne. High and lifted up is He, and His skirts are filling the temple." ² Seraphim are standing above it with six wings, six wings to each one. With two it is covering its face, and with two it is covering its feet, and with two it is flying." ³ And one calls to another, and says, "Holy! Holy! Holy! Yahweh of hosts! All the earth is filled with His glory!"

¹¹ As a shepherd He is grazing His drove, and in His arm He is cuddling the lambkins, and in His bosom He is carrying them. The pregnant He is comforting. The unweaned He is conducting."

¹² They are saying to their mothers, Where is grain and wine? While they droop like the wounded in the city squares, While their soul is poured out on their mothers' bosom."

²⁶ And above the expanse that [is] over their head, as an appearance of a sapphire stone, [is] the likeness of a throne, and on the likeness of the throne a likeness, as the appearance of man upon it from above." ²⁷ And I see as the color of copper, as the appearance of fire within it round about, from the appearance of his loins and upward, and from the appearance of his loins and downward, I have seen as the appearance of fire, and brightness [is] to it round about." ²⁸ As the appearance of the bow that is in a cloud in a day of rain, so [is] the appearance of the brightness round about."

³ In the belly he took his brother by the heel, yet in his virility he was upright with Elohim." ⁴ And he is controlling the Messenger, and is prevailing; he laments and is supplicating to Him. In Bethel He is finding him, and there He is speaking with him." ⁵ And Yahweh is Elohim of the hosts; Yahweh is His remembrance.

²² And being turned to the disciples, He said, "All was given up to Me by My Father, and no one knows who the Son is except the Father, and who the Father is except the Son, and whomsoever the Son may be intending to unveil Him."

²² Now the poor man came to die and he is carried away by the messengers into Abraham's bosom. Now the rich man also died, and was entombed." ²³ And in the unseen, lifting up his eyes, existing in torments, he is seeing Abraham from afar, and Lazarus in his bosom."

¹⁶ For thus God loves the world, so that He gives His only-begotten Son, that everyone who is believing in Him should not be perishing, but may be having life eonian." ¹⁷ For God does not dispatch His Son into the world that He should be judging the world, but that the world may be saved through Him." ¹⁸ He who is believing in Him is not being judged; yet he who is not believing has been judged already, for he has not believed in the name of the only-begotten Son of God."

⁴⁶ Not that the Father has been seen by anyone, except by the One Who is from God. This One has seen the Father."

⁴¹ These things Isaiah said, seeing that he perceived His glory, and speaks concerning Him."

²³ Now one of His disciples, whom Jesus loved, was lying back in the bosom of Jesus."

⁶ I manifest Thy name to the men whom Thou givest Me out of the world. Thine they were, and to Me Thou givest them, and Thy word they have kept."

²⁶ And I make known to them Thy name, and I shall make it known, that the love with which Thou lovest Me may be in them, and I in them."

¹⁵ Who is the Image of the invisible God, Firstborn of every creature,

¹⁷ Now to the King of the eons, the incorruptible, invisible, only, and wise God, be honor and glory for the eons of the eons! Amen!"

¹⁶ Who alone has immortality, making His home in light inaccessible, Whom not one of mankind perceived nor can be perceiving, to Whom be honor and might eonian! Amen!"

¹² No one has ever gazed upon God. If we should be loving one anohter, God is remaining in us, and His love is perfected in us."

²⁰ If anyone should be saying that "I am loving God,and should be hating his brother, he is a liar; for he who is not loving his brother whom he has seen can not be loving God Whom he has not seen."

⁹ And you will come to the priests, the Levites, and to the judge who shall come to be in those days; they will inquire and tell you the word of judgment. ¹⁰ Then you must act in accordance with the word that they shall tell you from that place that Yahweh your Elohim shall choose. You must observe to act according to all that they shall direct you. ¹¹ In accordance with the law by which they shall direct you and according to the judgment that they shall deliver to you, you shall act. You shall not withdraw from the word that they shall tell you, neither to the right nor left.

⁸ Be on guard in a contagion of leprosy to observe especially and to do according to all the law which the priests, the Levites, shall direct you. Just as I have instructed them shall you observe to do.

²³ And at His coming into the sanctuary, the chief priests and the elders of the people came to Him while He was teaching, saying, "By what authority are you doing these things, and who gives you this authority? ²⁴ Now answering, Jesus said to them, "I also shall ask you one word, which, if you should be telling Me, I also shall be declaring to you by what authority I am doing these things." ²⁵ The baptism of John-whence was it? Of heaven or of men?Now they reasoned with themselves, saying, "If we should be saying, 'Of heaven,' He will be declaring to us, 'Wherefore, then, do you not believe him?'" ²⁶ Yet if we should be saying, 'Of men,' we are fearing the throng, for all are having John as a prophet." ²⁷ And, answering Jesus, they said, "We are not aware.He also averred to them, "Neither am I telling you by what authority I am doing these things." ²⁸ Now what are you supposing? A man had two children. And, coming to the first, he said, 'Child, go today, work in my vineyard.'" ²⁹ Yet he, answering, said, 'I do not want to.' Yet subsequently, regretting it, he went forth." ³⁰ Now, coming to the second, he said similarly. Now he, answering, said, "I go, lord! and he went not forth." ³¹ Which of the two does the will of the father?They are saying, "The first.Jesus is saying to them, "Verily, I am saying to you that the tribute collectors and the prostitutes are preceding you into the kingdom of God." ³² For John came to you on the road of righteousness, and you do not believe him. Yet the tribute collectors and the prostitutes believe him. Now you, perceiving it, did not even regret subsequently, so as to believe him."

¹⁵ Now at the people hoping, and all reasoning in their hearts concerning John, lest at some time he may be the Christ, ¹⁶ John answers, saying to all, "I, indeed, in water am baptizing you. Yet coming is One stronger than I, the thong of Whose sandals I am not competent to loose. He will be baptizing you in holy spirit and fire, ¹⁷ Whose winnowing shovel is in His hand, and He will be scouring His threshing floor and be gathering the grain into His barn, yet the chaff shall He burn up with unextinguished fire." ¹⁸ Indeed, then, entreating about many different things also, he brought the evangel to the people."

¹⁸ The Jews, then, answered and said to Him, "What sign are you showing us, seeing that you are doing these things?

¹⁰ The Jews, then, said to him who has been cured, "It is a sabbath, and it is not allowed you to pick up your pallet!"

⁴¹ The Jews, then, murmured concerning Him, that He said, "I am the Bread which descends out of heaven."

⁵² The Jews, then, fought with one another, saying, "How then can this one give us his flesh to eat?

²⁴ The Jews, then, surround Him, and they said to Him, "Till when are you lifting our soul? If you are the Christ, tell us with boldness."

²⁵ Now as John completed his career, he said, 'What you are suspecting me to be, I am not. But lo! coming after me is One, the sandal of Whose feet I am not worthy to loose.'"

¹¹ For I, indeed, am baptizing you in water for repentance, yet He Who is coming after me is stronger than I, Whose sandals I am not competent to bear. He will be baptizing you in holy spirit and fire, ¹² Whose winnowing shovel is in His hand, and He will be scouring His threshing floor, and will be gathering His grain into His barn, yet the chaff will He be burning up with unextinguished fire."

¹⁵ Now at the people hoping, and all reasoning in their hearts concerning John, lest at some time he may be the Christ, ¹⁶ John answers, saying to all, "I, indeed, in water am baptizing you. Yet coming is One stronger than I, the thong of Whose sandals I am not competent to loose. He will be baptizing you in holy spirit and fire, ¹⁷ Whose winnowing shovel is in His hand, and He will be scouring His threshing floor and be gathering the grain into His barn, yet the chaff shall He burn up with unextinguished fire."

¹⁵ A Prophet from among you, from your brothers, like me, shall Yahweh your Elohim raise up for you. To Him shall you hearke. ¹⁶ according to all that you asked from Yahweh your Elohim at Horeb on the day of assembly, saying:Let me not continue to hear the voice of Yahweh my Elohim, and let me not see this great fire any further so that I may not die!" ¹⁷ Then Yahweh said to me:They have done well in all that they have spoken. ¹⁸ A Prophet shall I raise up to them from among their brothers, like you, and I will put My words in His mouth, and He will speak to them all that I shall instruct Him.

⁵ Behold! I will send to you Elijah, the prophet, before the coming of the great and fearful day of Yahweh."

⁹ But for what do you come out? A prophet to perceive? Yes, I am saying to you, and exceedingly more than a prophet." ¹⁰ This is he concerning whom it is written, 'Lo! I am dispatching My messenger before Thy face, who shall be constructing Thy road in front of Thee.'" ¹¹ Verily, I am saying to you, Not among those born of women has there been roused a greater than John the baptist. Yet he who is smaller, in the kingdom of the heavens is greater than he."

¹⁴ And, if you are willing to receive him, he is Elijah who is about to be coming."

¹⁴ Now they say, "These, indeed, John the baptist; yet others Elijah; yet others Jeremiah or one of the prophets."

¹⁰ And His disciples inquire of Him, saying, 'Why, then, are the scribes saying that Elijah must be coming first? ¹¹ Now He, answering, said to them that "Elijah is indeed coming, and will be restoring all." ¹² Yet I am saying to you that Elijah came already, and they did not recognize him, but they do to him whatever they will. Thus the Son of Mankind also is about to be suffering by them."

¹⁷ And he shall be coming before in His sight in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn back the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the stubborn to the prudence of the just, to make ready a people formed for the Lord."

²⁵ And they ask him and said to him, "Why, then, are you baptizing, if you are not the Christ, neither Elijah, nor the Prophet?

⁴⁰ Some of the throng, then, hearing these sayings, said that "This truly is the prophet!"

¹³ And Gad comes in unto David, and declares to him, and said to him, `Do seven years of famine come in to you in your land? or three months are you fleeing before your adversary--and he pursuing you? or are three days' pestilence in your land? now, know and see what word I take back to Him sending me..

³ For this is he of whom it is declared through Isaiah the prophet, saying,
"The voice of one imploring:
'In the wilderness make ready the road of the Lord!
Straight...be making the highways'of Him!

³ The voice of one imploring: 'In the wilderness make ready the road of the Lord! Straight...be making the highways'of Him!"

⁴ as it is written in the scroll of the sayings of Isaiah the prophet, saying, "The voice of one imploring: 'In the wilderness make ready the road of the Lord! Straight...be making the highways'of Him!" ⁵ 'Every ravine shall be filled And every mountain and hill shall be made low, And the crooked shall be straight, And the rough places into smooth roads,..." ⁶ And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.'"

¹³ Now woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for you are locking the kingdom of the heavens in front of men. For you are not entering, neither are you letting those entering to enter." ¹⁴ -¹⁵ Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for you are going about the sea and the dry land to make one proselyte, and whenever he may be becoming one, you are making him more than double a son of Gehenna than you are."

²⁶ Blind Pharisee! Cleanse first the inside of the cup and the plate, that their outside also may be becoming clean!"

³⁰ Yet the Pharisees and those learned in the law repudiate the counsel of God for themselves, not being baptized by him."

³⁹ Yet the Lord said to him, "Now you Pharisees are cleansing the outside of the cup and the platter, yet your inside is brimming with rapacity and wickedness." ⁴⁰ Imprudent ones! Does not He Who makes the outside also make the inside? ⁴¹ However, what is within be giving as alms, and lo! all is clean to you." ⁴² But woe to you, Pharisees! for you are taking tithes from mint and rue and all greens, and you are passing by judging and the love of God. Now these it was binding for you to do and not to be devoid of those." ⁴³ Woe to you, Pharisees! seeing that you are loving the front seat in the synagogues and the salutations in the markets." ⁴⁴ Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for you are as the obscure tombs, and the men who are walking upon them are not aware of it."

⁵³ And at His coming out thence, the scribes and the Pharisees begin to hem Him in dreadfully and to be quizzing Him concerning more things,

¹⁴ Now the Pharisees also, inherently fond of money, heard all these things, and they scouted Him."

¹ Now there was a man of the Pharisees, Nicodemus his name, a chief of the Jews." ² This one came to Him by night and said to Him, "Rabbi, we are aware that Thou art a Teacher come from God, for no one can be doing these signs which Thou art doing, if God should not be with Him."

⁴⁷ The Pharisees, then, answered them, "Not you also are deceived? ⁴⁸ Not any of the chiefs believes in him, or of the Pharisees." ⁴⁹ But this throng that knows not the law is accursed."

⁸ For Sadducees, indeed, are saying there is no resurrection, nor messenger, nor spirit; yet Pharisees are avowing both."

⁵ knowing me before, from the very first, if they should be willing to testify, that, according to the strictest sect of this ritual of ours, I live a Pharisee."

⁵ in circumcision the eighth day, of the race of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews, in relation to law, a Pharisee, ⁶ in relation to zeal, persecuting the ecclesia, in relation to the righteousness which is in law, becoming blameless."

¹⁵ A Prophet from among you, from your brothers, like me, shall Yahweh your Elohim raise up for you. To Him shall you hearke.

¹⁸ A Prophet shall I raise up to them from among their brothers, like you, and I will put My words in His mouth, and He will speak to them all that I shall instruct Him.

²⁴ Seventy sevens are segregated for your people and for your holy city:To detain transgression, to cause sin to end, to make a propitiatory shelter for depravity; to bring the righteousness of the eons, to seal the vision and the prophet, to anoint the holy of holies." ²⁵ And you shall know and be intelligent:From the faring forth of the word to cause a return and to rebuild Jerusalem--from then till Messiah the Governor is seven sevens, and sixty-two sevens. It will return and will be rebuilt, square and salient, even in eras of constraint." ²⁶ After the sixty-two sevens, Messiah will be cut off, and there is no adjudication for Him. The city and the holy place shall be laid in ruins with the other governor's coming; then its end is by an overflow, and till the end of the war desolations will be decided."

²³ And at His coming into the sanctuary, the chief priests and the elders of the people came to Him while He was teaching, saying, "By what authority are you doing these things, and who gives you this authority?

²⁰ And he avows and denies not and avows that "I am not the Christ." ²¹ And they ask him again, "What are you then? Are you Elijah?And he is saying, "I am not." ²² Are you the Prophet?And he answered, "No.They said, then, to him, "Who are you? - that we may be giving an answer to those who send us. What are you saying concerning yourself?

⁵ Now it occurred on the morrow that their chiefs and the elders and the scribes gathered in Jerusalem, ⁶ and Hannas, the chief priest, and Caiaphas and John and Alexander, and whoever were of the chief priestly race." ⁷ And, standing them in the midst, they inquired to ascertain, "By what power or in what name do you do this?

²⁸ saying, "Do we not charge you with a charge not to be teaching in this Name? And lo! you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching, and are intending to bring on us the blood of this man."

¹ Behold Me sending My messenger, and he surfaces the way before Me. And suddenly, the Lord Whom you are seeking is coming to his temple, and the Messenger of the covenant, in Whom you are delighting. Behold! He comes! says Yahweh of hosts." ² Yet who will endure the day of His coming? And who will stand when He appears? For He is coming like a refiner's fire, and as launderers' soap."

⁸ I, indeed, baptize you in water, yet He shall be baptizing you in holy spirit."

¹⁰ In the world He was, and the world came into being through Him, and the world knew Him not." ¹¹ To His own He came, and those who are His own accepted Him not."

¹⁹ They said, then, to Him, "Where is your father?Jesus answered and said, "Neither with Me are you acquainted, nor with My Father. If you were acquainted with Me, you should be acquainted with My Father also."

³ And these things will they be doing to you, for they know not the Father nor even Me."

³ Now it is eonian life that they may know Thee, the only true God, and Him Whom Thou dost commission, Jesus Christ."

⁵ seeing that John, indeed, baptizes in water, yet you shall be baptized in holy spirit after not many of these days."

¹⁶ Now I am reminded of the declaration of the Lord, as He said that 'John, indeed, baptizes in water, yet you shall be baptized in holy spirit.'"

³⁰ This is He concerning Whom I said, 'After me is coming a Man Who has come to be in front of me,' for He was First, before me."

²⁴ And messengers has sent Gideon into all the hill-country of Ephraim, saying, `Come down to meet Midian, and capture before them the waters unto Beth-Barah, and the Jordan;' and every man of Ephraim is called, and they capture the waters unto Beth-Barah, and the Jordan,

²³ Now John also was baptizing in Enon near Salim, for there was much water there, and they came along and were baptized,

²⁶ And they came to John and said to him, "Rabbi, He Who was with you on the other side of the Jordan, to Whom you have testified, lo! this One is baptizing and all are coming to Him."

⁴⁰ And He came away again to the other side of the Jordan into the place where John was formerly baptizing, and He remains there."

⁵ Wherefore was not this attar disposed of for three hundred denarii and given to the poor?

⁷ And speaking is Isaac to Abraham, his father, and saying, "My father!"And saying is he, "Behold me, my son.And saying is he, "Behold the fire and the wood, yet where is the flockling for the ascent offering? ⁸ And saying is Abraham, "The Elohim will see for Himself as to the flockling for the ascent offering, my son.

³ Speak to the whole congregation of the sons of Israel, saying: On the tenth of this month they shall take for themselves, each man a flockling according to the their fathers' house, a flockling for each household. ⁴ If the household be too few for what comes from a flockling, then he and his neighbor next to his house will take it according to the assessment of the souls. Each one corresponding to his eating shall you assess with the flockling. ⁵ A flawless flockling, a year old male, shall you come to have. From the he-lambs or from the goats shall you take it. ⁶ And it will become a charge of yours until the fourteenth day of this month. They will slay it, every assembly of the congregation of the sons of Israel, between the evening hours. ⁷ They will take some of the blood and put it on the two jambs and on the lintel, on the houses in which they are eating it. ⁸ Then they will eat the flesh on this night, roasted with fire, and with unleavened cakes; over bitter herbs shall they eat it. ⁹ Do not eat any of it underdone or cooked by being cooked in water, but rather roasted with fire, even its head along with its shanks and with its inwards. ¹⁰ You shall not reserve any of it until the morning. And what is left of it until the morning you shall burn with fire. ¹¹ And thus shall you eat it, with your waist girded, your sandals on your feet and your stick in your hand. You will eat it in nervous haste. It is the passover to Yahweh. ¹² For I will pass through the land of Egypt in this night and smite every firstborn in the land of Egypt, from human even unto beast, and on all the elohim of Egypt I shall execute judgments; I am Yahweh. ¹³ Then the blood will become a sign for you on the houses where you are. When I see the blood I will pass over you. And there shall not come to be a stroke on you to cause ruin when I smite in the land of Egypt.

³⁸ It will come to be on the forehead of Aaron; thus Aaron will bear the depravity of the holy things which the sons of Israel shall sanctify for all their holy gifts; and it will come to be on his forehead continually for their acceptance before Yahweh.

¹⁷ For what reason did you not eat the sin offering in the holy place? For it was a holy of holies, and He gave it to you to bear the depravity of the congregation, to make a propitiatory shelter over them before Yahweh.

²¹ Aaron will support his two hands on the head of the live hairy goat, confess over it all the depravities of the sons of Israel and all their transgressions in all their sins and put them on the head of the hairy goat and send it away by the hand of a ready man to the wilderness. ²² Thus the hairy goat will bear on it all their depravities to an inaccessible land, and he will send the hairy goat free into the wilderness.

¹ Yahweh said to Aaron:You and your sons and your father's house with you shall bear any depravity committed against the sanctuary, and you and your sons with you shall bear any depravity in connection with your priesthood.

²³ He, the Levite, will serve in the service of the tent of appointment, and they shall bear any depravity of theirs. It shall be an eonian statute throughout your generations so that in the midst of the sons of Israel they shall not be allotted an allotment,

³ You will say to them:This is the fire offering which you shall bring near to Yahweh, flawless year-old he-lambs, two per day, a regular ascent offering. ⁴ The one he-lamb shall you offer in the morning, and the second he-lamb shall you offer between the evening hours, ⁵ with a tenth of an ephah of flour as an approach present mingled with pounded oil, a fourth of a hin. ⁶ It is the regular ascent offering instituted at Mount Sinai for a fragrant odor, a fire offering, to Yahweh. ⁷ Its libation is a fourth of a hin for one he-lamb. In the holy place, libate an intoxicating libation to Yahweh. ⁸ And the second he-lamb you shall offer between the evening hours; like the approach present of the morning and like its libation shall you make it as a fire offering, a fragrant odor to Yahweh. ⁹ On the sabbath day you shall bring near two flawless year-old he-lambs, and two-tenths of an ephah of flour, an approach present mingled with oil, with its libation. ¹⁰ This is the sabbath ascent offering on its sabbath along with the regular ascent offering with its libation.

⁷ Hard pressed is He and being humbled, yet He is not opening His mouth. As a flockling to slaughter is He fetched, and as a ewe before her shearers is mute, so He is not opening His mouth."

¹¹ From the toil of His soul shall He see light. And He shall be satisfied by His knowledge. My righteous Servant shall justify many, and with their depravities shall He be burdened."

² Take words with you and return to Yahweh, your Elohim; say to Him:Wilt You bear away all the depravity? Take the good, and we will repay with the fruit of our lips."

²¹ Now she shall be bringing forth a Son, and you shall be calling His name Jesus, for He shall be saving His people from their sins."

²⁸ even as the Son of Mankind came, not to be served, but to serve, and to give His soul a ransom for many."

³² Now the context of the scripture which he read was this: "As a sheep to slaughter was He led, And as a lamb in front of its shearer is not bleating, Thus He is not opening His mouth."

³⁹ and from all from which you could not be justified in the law of Moses, in this One everyone who is believing is being justified."

³ For I give over to you among the first what also I accepted, that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures,

²¹ For the One not knowing sin, He makes to be a sin offering for our sakes that we may be becoming God's righteousness in Him."

⁴ Who gives Himself for our sins, so that He might extricate us out of the present wicked eon, according to the will of our God and Father,

¹³ Christ reclaims us from the curse of the law, becoming a curse for our sakes, for it is written, Accursed is everyone hanging on a pole,

⁶ Who is giving Himself a correspondent Ransom for all (the testimony in its own eras),

¹⁴ Who gives Himself for us, that He should be redeeming us from all lawlessness and be cleansing for Himself a people to be about Him, zealous for ideal acts."

¹⁷ Whence He ought, in all things, to be made like the brethren, that He may be becoming a merciful and faithful Chief Priest in that which is toward God, to make a propitiatory shelter for the sins of the people."

²⁸ thus Christ also, being offered once for the bearing of the sins of many, will be seen a second time, by those awaiting Him, apart from sin, for salvation, through faith."

¹⁹ but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a flawless and unspotted lamb,

²⁴ Who Himself carries up our sins in His body on to the pole, that, coming away from sins, we should be living for righteousness; by Whose welt you were healed."

¹⁸ seeing that Christ also, for our sakes, once died concerning sins, the just for the sake of the unjust, that He may be leading us to God; being put to death, indeed, in flesh, yet vivified in spirit,

² And He is the propitiatory shelter concerned with our sins, yet not concerned with ours only, but concerned with the whole world also."

⁵ And you are aware that He was manifested that He should be taking away our sins, and in Him is no sin."

¹⁰ In this is love, not that we love God, but that He loves us, and dispatches His son, a propitiatory shelter concerned with our sins."

⁵ and from Jesus Christ, the Faithful Witness, the Firstborn of the dead, and the Suzerain of the kings of the earth. To Him Who is loving us and looses us from our sins by His blood"

⁶ And I perceived, in the center of the throne and of the four animals, and in the center of the elders, a Lambkin standing, as though slain, having seven horns, and seven eyes which are the seven spirits of God, commissioned for the entire earth."

⁸ And when It took the scroll, the four animals and the twenty-four elders fall before the Lambkin, each having a lyre, and golden bowls brimming with incenses, which are the prayers of the saints."

¹² saying with a loud voice, "Worthy is the Lambkin slain To get power and riches and wisdom and strength And honor and glory and blessing!" ¹³ And every creature which is in heaven and on the earth and underneath the earth and on the sea, and all in them, I hear also saying, "To Him Who is sitting on the throne-To the Lambkin-Be blessing and honor and glory and might For the eons of the eons!"

¹ And I perceived when the Lambkin opens one of the seven seals; and I hear one of the four animals saying, as with a voice of thunder, "Come!"

¹⁶ And they are saying to the mountains and to the rocks, "Fall on us and hide us from the face of Him Who is sitting on the throne, and from the indignation of the Lambkin,

⁹ After these things I perceived, and lo! a vast throng which no one was able to number, out of every nation and out of the tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lambkin, clothed in white robes and with palm fronds in their hands." ¹⁰ And they are crying with a loud voice, saying, "Salvation be our God's, Who is sitting on the throne, And the Lambkin's!"

¹⁴ And I have declared to him: "My lord, you are aware.And he said to me, "These are those coming out of the great affliction. And they rinse their robes, and they whiten them in the blood of the Lambkin."

¹⁷ seeing that the throne-centered Lambkin shall be shepherding them, and shall be guiding them to living springs of water, and every tear shall God be brushing away from their eyes."

¹¹ And they conquer him through the blood of the Lambkin, and through the word of their testimony, and they love not their soul, until death."

⁸ And all who are dwelling on the earth will be worshiping it, everyone whose name is not written in the scroll of life of the Lambkin slain from the disruption of the world."

¹ And I perceived, and lo! the Lambkin standing on mount Zion, and with It a hundred forty-four thousand, having Its name and Its Father's name written on their foreheads."

⁴ These are they who were not polluted with women, for they are celibates. These are those who are following the Lambkin wherever It should be going. These are bought from mankind, a firstfruit to God and the Lambkin."

¹⁰ he, also, is drinking of the wine of the fury of God, blended undiluted in the cup of His indignation, and he shall be tormented in fire and sulphur in the sight of the holy messengers and in the sight of the Lambkin."

³ And they are singing the song of Moses, the slave of God, and the song of the Lambkin, saying, "Great and marvelous are Thy acts, Lord God Almighty! Just and true are Thy ways, King of the eons!"

¹⁴ These will be battling with the Lambkin, and the Lambkin will be conquering them, seeing that It is Lord of lords and King of kings, and those with It are called and chosen and faithful."

⁷ We may be rejoicing and exulting and will be giving glory to Him, for the wedding of the Lambkin came, and Its bride makes herself ready."

⁹ And he is saying to me, "Write: 'Happy are those invited to the wedding dinner of the Lambkin.'And he is saying to me, "These are the true sayings of God."

⁹ And one of the seven messengers who have the seven bowls brimming with the last seven calamities came, and he speaks with me, saying, "Hither! I shall be showing you the bride, the wife of the Lambkin."

¹⁴ And the wall of the city has twelve foundations, and on them the twelve names of the twelve apostles of the Lambkin."

²² And a temple I did not perceive in it, for the Lord God Almighty is its temple, and the Lambkin." ²³ And the city has no need of the sun nor of the moon, that they should be appearing in it, for the glory of God illuminates it, and its lamp is the Lambkin."

²⁷ and under no circumstances may anything contaminating, or one who is making an abomination and a lie be entering into it, except those written in the Lambkin's scroll of life."

² Yet the Sun of righteousness shall radiate to you who fear My name, and healing is in its wings. And you shall come forth, and you prance as calves of the stall." ³ And you shall tread down the wicked, for they are becoming ashes under the soles of your feet in the day which I am making, says Yahweh of hosts." ⁴ Remember the law of Moses, My servant, which I instruct him in Horeb for all Israel, the statutes and judgments." ⁵ Behold! I will send to you Elijah, the prophet, before the coming of the great and fearful day of Yahweh."

⁶ and they were baptized in the Jordan river by him, confessing their sins.

³ The voice of one imploring: 'In the wilderness make ready the road of the Lord! Straight...be making the highways'of Him!" ⁴ John the baptist came to be in the wilderness and is heralding a baptism of repentance for the pardon of sins. ⁵ And out to him went the entire province of Judea, and all the Jerusalemites, and they were baptized by him in the Jordan river, confessing their sins."

⁷⁶ Now you, also, little boy, a prophet of the Most High shall be called, For you shall be going before in the sight of the Lord To make ready His roads, ⁷⁷ To give the knowledge of salvation to His people In the pardon of their sins, ⁷⁸ Because of the merciful compassions of our God, In which the Dayspring from on high visits us, ⁷⁹ To make Its advent to those sitting in darkness and the shadow of death, To direct our feet into the path of peace." ⁸⁰ Now the little boy grows up and was staunch in spirit and was in the wilderness till the day of his indication to Israel.

³⁹ And, as they accomplish all according to the law of the Lord, they return into Galilee, into their own city, Nazareth." ⁴⁰ Now the little Boy grows up and was staunch in spirit, being filled with wisdom, and the grace of God was on Him." ⁴¹ And His parents went year by year into Jerusalem, to the festival of the Passover." ⁴² And when He came to be twelve years old, at their going up into Jerusalem according to the custom of the festival,

³ And he came into the entire country about the Jordan, heralding a baptism of repentance for the pardon of sins, ⁴ as it is written in the scroll of the sayings of Isaiah the prophet, saying, "The voice of one imploring: 'In the wilderness make ready the road of the Lord! Straight...be making the highways'of Him!"

¹⁶ Now, being baptized, Jesus straightway stepped up from the water, and lo! opened up to Him were the heavens, and He perceived the spirit of God descending as if a dove, and coming on Him.

¹⁰ And straightway, stepping up out of the water, He perceived the heavens rent, and the spirit, as a dove, descending and remaining on Him."

²² and the holy spirit descends on Him, to bodily perception as if a dove, and a voice came out of heaven, saying, "Thou art My Son, the Beloved; in Thee I delight."

³² There is another who is testifying concerning Me, and I am aware that the testimony which he is testifying concerning Me is true."

¹³ Then Jesus is coming along from Galilee to the Jordan to John to be baptized by him. ¹⁴ Yet John prohibited Him, saying, "I have need to be baptized by Thee, and Thou art coming to me!" ¹⁵ Yet, answering, Jesus said to him, "by your leave, at present, for thus it is becoming for us to fulfill all righteousness.Then he is giving Him leave.

³¹ And I was not aware of Him. But that He may be manifested to Israel, therefore came I, baptizing in water."

⁵ Jesus answered, "Verily, verily, I am saying to you, If anyone should not be begotten of water and of spirit, he can not be entering into the kingdom of God."

⁴ And they are all filled with holy spirit, and they begin to speak in different languages, according as the spirit gave them to declaim."

⁴⁴ While Peter is still speaking these declarations, the holy spirit falls on all those hearing the word." ⁴⁵ And amazed were the believers of the Circumcision, whoever come together with Peter, seeing that on the nations also the gratuity of the holy spirit has been poured out." ⁴⁶ For they heard them speaking in languages and magnifying God. ⁴⁷ Then Peter answered, "There can not be anyone to forbid water, so that these are not to be baptized, who obtained the holy spirit even as we."

¹⁵ Now as I begin to speak, the holy spirit falls on them, even as on us also in the beginning." ¹⁶ Now I am reminded of the declaration of the Lord, as He said that 'John, indeed, baptizes in water, yet you shall be baptized in holy spirit.'"

² said to them, "Did you obtain holy spirit on believing?Yet they to him, "Nay, neither hear we if there is holy spirit." ³ Yet he said, "Into what, then, are you baptized?Yet they say "Into John's baptism." ⁴ Yet Paul said, "John baptizes with the baptism of repentance, telling the people that in the One coming after him they should be believing, that is, in Jesus." ⁵ Now, hearing this, they are baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus." ⁶ And at the placing of Paul's hands on them, the holy spirit came on them. Besides, they spoke languages and prophesied."

¹³ For in one spirit also we all are baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free, and all are made to imbibe one spirit."

⁵ not for works which are wrought in righteousness which we do, but according to His mercy, He saves us, through the bath of renascence and renewal of holy spirit, ⁶ which He pours out on us richly through Jesus Christ, our Saviour,

²⁶ He shall call out to Me, You are my Father, My El and the Rock of my salvation." ²⁷ Indeed, I shall make him the firstborn, The uppermost of the kings of the earth."

¹⁷ And lo! a voice out of the heavens, saying, "This is My Son, the Beloved, in Whom I delight."

³ And, approaching, the trier said to Him, "If you are God's Son, say that these stones may be becoming cakes of bread."

⁶ And he is saying to Him. "If you are God's Son, cast yourself down, for it is written that
'His messengers shall be directed concerning Thee'
and
'On their hands shall they be lifting Thee,
Lest at some time Thou shouldst be dashing Thy foot against a stone.'"

²⁹ And lo! they cry, saying, "What is it to us and to Thee, Son of God! Didst Thou come here to torment us before the season?

¹⁶ Now answering, Simon Peter said, "Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God."

⁵ While he is still speaking, lo! a luminous cloud overshadows them, and lo! a voice out of the cloud, saying, "This is My Son, the Beloved, in Whom I delight. Hear Him!"

⁶³ Yet Jesus was silent. And, answering, the chief priest said to Him, "I exorcise you by the living God that you may tell us if you are the Christ, the Son of God."

⁴⁰ and saying, "You who are demolishing the temple and building it in three days, save yourself! If you are the Son of God, descend from the cross!"

⁴³ He has confidence in God. Let Him rescue him now, if He is wanting him, for he said that 'God's Son am I!'"

⁵⁴ Now the centurion and those with him who are keeping Jesus, perceiving the quake and the occurrences, were tremendously afraid, saying, "Truly this was God's Son!"

¹ The beginning of the evangel of Jesus Christ, Son of God,

¹¹ And a voice came out of the heavens, "Thou art My Son, the Beloved; in Thee I delight."

³⁵ And answering, the messenger said to her, "Holy spirit shall be coming on you, and the power of the Most High shall be overshadowing you; wherefore also the holy One Who is being generated shall be called the Son of God."

⁴⁹ Nathanael answered and is saying to Him, "Rabbi, Thou art the Son of God! Thou art the King of Israel!"

²³ that all may be honoring the Son, according as they are honoring the Father. He who is not honoring the Son is not honoring the Father Who sends Him." ²⁴ Verily, verily, I am saying to you that he who is hearing My word and believing Him Who sends Me, has life eonian and is not coming into judging, but has proceeded out of death into life." ²⁵ Verily, verily, I am saying to you that coming is an hour, and now is, when the dead shall be hearing the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear shall be living." ²⁶ For even as the Father has life in Himself, thus to the Son also He gives to have life in Himself." ²⁷ And He gives Him authority to do judging, seeing that He is a son of mankind."

⁶⁹ And we believe and know that Thou art the Holy One of God."

³⁰ I and the Father, We are one."

³⁶ are you saying to Him Whom the Father hallows and dispatches into the world that 'You are blaspheming,' seeing that I said, 'Son of God am I'?

²⁷ She is saying to Him, "Yes, Lord, I have believed that Thou art the Christ, the Son of God, Who is coming into the world."

⁷ The Jews answered him, "We have a law, and according to our law he ought to die, for he makes himself son of God."

⁴ Who is designated Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection of the dead),

¹⁹ For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, Who is being heralded among you through us - through me and Silvanus and Timothy - became not "Yesand "No,but in Him has become "Yes."

¹ By many portions and many modes, of old, God, speaking to the fathers in the prophets, ² in the last of these days speaks to us in a Son, Whom He appoints enjoyer of the allotment of all, through Whom He also makes the eons;"

⁵ For to whom of the messengers said He at any time, "My Son art Thou! I, today, have begotten Thee"? And again, "I shall be to Him for a Father And He shall be to Me for a Son"? ⁶ Now, whenever He may again be leading the Firstborn into the inhabited earth, He is saying: And worship Him, all the messengers of God!"

²³ Everyone who is disowning the Son, neither has the Father. He who is avowing the Son has the Father also."

⁸ Yet he who is doing sin is of the Adversary, for from the beginning is the Adversary sinning. For this was the Son of God manifested, that He should be annulling the acts of the Adversary."

¹⁴ And we have gazed upon Him, and are testifying that the Father has dispatched the Son, the Saviour of the world." ¹⁵ Whoever should be avowing that Jesus is the Son of God, God is remaining in him, and he in God."

⁹ If we are obtaining the testimony of men, the testimony of God is greater; for this is the testimony of God, that He has testified concerning His Son." ¹⁰ He who is believing in the Son of God has the testimony in himself; he who is not believing God has made Him a liar, for he has not believed in the testimony which God has testified concerning His Son." ¹¹ And this is the testimony, that God gives us life eonian, and this life is in His Son."

⁹ Everyone who is taking the lead and not remaining in the teaching of Christ has not God. He who is remaining in the teaching, this one has the Father as well as the Son."

¹⁸ And to the messenger of the ecclesia in Thyatira write: `Now this the Son of God is saying, Who has His eyes as a flame of fire, and His feet like white bronze:"

¹⁶ Then those that fear Yahweh speak, each to his associate. And Yahweh is attending, and He is hearing. And a memorial scroll is written before Him, of the fearers of Yahweh, and of those reckoning His name."

²⁵ There occurred, then, a questioning of the disciples of John with a Jew concerning cleansing." ²⁶ And they came to John and said to him, "Rabbi, He Who was with you on the other side of the Jordan, to Whom you have testified, lo! this One is baptizing and all are coming to Him."

²² Face to Me and be saved, all the limits of the earth, for I am El, and there is none else."

¹ I am inquired of by those who had not asked for Me. I am found by those who did not seek Me. I say, `Behold Me!' to a nation not calling My name." ² I spread out My hands all the day to a stubborn and contentious people, those going the way which is not good, after their own devices,

²⁹ On the morrow he is observing Jesus coming toward him, and is saying, "Lo! the Lamb of God Which is taking away the sin of the world!"

² looking off to the Inaugurator and Perfecter of faith, Jesus, Who, for the joy lying before Him, endures a cross, despising the shame, besides is seated at the right hand of the throne of God."

¹⁹ but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a flawless and unspotted lamb, ²⁰ foreknown, indeed, before the disruption of the world, yet manifested in the last times because of you, who through Him are believing in God,

²³ Rejoicing comes to a man in the apt response of his mouth, And a word in its season, how good!"

²¹ And the dwellers of five cities shall go to another city, saying, We are going assuredly to beseech the face of Yahweh, and to seek Yahweh of hosts; I am going, moreover."

⁴³ On the morrow He wants to come away into Galilee, and He is finding Philip. And Jesus is saying to him, "Follow Me."

³⁹ Now out of that city many of the Samaritans believe in Him because of the word of the woman, testifying that "He told me all whatever I do." ⁴⁰ As, then, the Samaritans came together to Him, they asked Him to remain with them. And He remains there two days." ⁴¹ And many more believe because of His word. ⁴² Besides, to the woman they said that "No longer because of your speaking are we believing, for we ourselves have heard Him, and we are aware that this truly is the Saviour of the world, the Christ."

¹⁷ Consequently, faith is out of tidings, yet the tidings through a declaration of Christ."

²⁹ Let no tainted word at all be issuing out of your mouth, but if any is good toward needful edification, that it may be giving grace to those hearing."

¹⁷ And the spirit and the bride are saying, 'Come!' and let him who is hearing say, 'Come!' And let him who is thirsting come. Let him who will, take the water of life gratuitously."

¹⁶ Ruth replied, You must not persuade me to forsake you, to turn away from following you; for wherever you go I shall go, and wherever you lodge I shall lodge. Your people will be my people, and your Elohim my Elohim.

⁸ O the happiness of your men, O the happiness of your servants--these--who are standing before you continually, who are hearing your wisdom!"

⁴ One thing I have asked from Yahweh-- Only it am I seeking:That I may dwell in the House of Yahweh all the days of my life, To perceive the pleasantness of Yahweh, And to make my quest in His Temple."

¹⁸ She is a tree of life to those holding fast to her, And those upholding her will be happy."

³⁴ Happy is the man who hearkens to me, Being alert at my doors day by day, Keeping watch at the jambs of my portals."

²⁰ He who walks with the wise becomes wise, Yet he who associates with the stupid is imperiled."

⁷ Do tell me, you whom my soul loves, Where do you graze your flock? Where do you recline them at noon? Why should I become like a muffled woman Beside the droves of your partners? ⁸ If you do not know for yourself, loveliest among women, Go forth for yourself at the heels of the flock, And graze your kids by the tabernacles of the shepherds."

⁷ and the salutations in the markets, and to be called by men 'Rabbi.'" ⁸ Now you may not be called 'Rabbi,' for One is your Teacher, yet you all are brethren."

²⁴ Now, at John's messengers coming away, He begins to be saying to the throngs concerning John, "What do you come out into the wilderness to gaze at? A reed being shaken by the wind? ²⁵ But what do you come out to perceive? A man garbed in soft garments? Lo! those in glorious vesture and inhering in luxury are among the royal. ²⁶ But what have you come out to perceive? A prophet? Yes, I am saying to you, and exceedingly more than a prophet." ²⁷ This is he concerning whom it is written, 'Lo! I am dispatching My messenger before Thy face, who shall be constructing Thy road in front of Thee.'"

³⁸ Now He, stepping into the ship, returns. Now the man from whom the demons had come out besought Him to be with Him, yet Jesus dismisses him, saying,

³⁹ Now to her was also a sister called Mary, who, seated also at the Lord's feet, heard His word."

²⁵ Now vast throngs went together with Him. And, being turned, He said to them,

²⁰ And rising, he came to his father. "Now, at his being still far away, his father perceived him and has compassion, and running, falls on his neck and fondly kisses him."

⁴⁰ Now standing still, Jesus orders him to be led to Him. Now at his drawing near, He inquires of him, ⁴¹ What are you wanting I shall be doing to you?Now he said, "Lord, that I should be receiving sight!"

⁵ And as He came to the place, looking up, Jesus perceived him and said to him, "Zaccheus! Hurry! Descend, for today I must remain in your house."

⁶¹ And being turned, the Lord looks at Peter, and Peter is reminded of the declaration of the Lord, as He said to him, "Ere a cock crows today, you will be renouncing Me thrice."

² This one came to Him by night and said to Him, "Rabbi, we are aware that Thou art a Teacher come from God, for no one can be doing these signs which Thou art doing, if God should not be with Him."

²⁵ And, finding Him on the other side of the sea, they said to Him, "Rabbi, when camest Thou to be here?

²¹ These, then, came to Philip who is from Bethsaida of Galilee, and they asked him, saying, "Lord, we want to become acquainted with Jesus."

⁴ Jesus, then, being aware of all that is coming on Him, coming out, said to them, "Whom are you seeking?

⁷ Again, then, He inquires of them, "Whom are you seeking?Now they said, "Jesus, the Nazarene."

¹⁵ Jesus is saying to her, "Woman, why are you lamenting? Whom are you seeking?She, supposing that He is the gardener, is saying to Him, "Lord, if you bear Him off, tell me where you place Him, and I will take Him away." ¹⁶ Jesus is saying to her, "Miriam!Now, being turned, she is saying to Him in Hebrew, "Rabboni!"

²¹ Now Peter, descending to the men, said, "Lo! I am he whom you are seeking. What is the cause for which you are present?

²⁹ Wherefore, without gainsaying, also, being sent after, I came. I am inquiring to ascertain, then, on what account you send after me."

¹⁷ I love those who love me, And those who seek me early find me."

²⁸ Hither to Me, all who are toiling and laden, and I will be giving you rest." ²⁹ Lift My yoke upon you and be learning from Me, for meek am I and humble in heart, and you shall be finding rest in your souls, ³⁰ for My yoke is kindly and My load is light."

²⁹ And they urge Him, saying, "Remain with us, for it is toward dusk and the day has already declined.And He entered to remain together with them."

⁴⁶ And Nathanael said to him, "Can anything good be out of Nazareth?Philip is saying to him, "Come and see!"

⁴⁰ As, then, the Samaritans came together to Him, they asked Him to remain with them. And He remains there two days."

³⁷ All that which the Father is giving to Me shall be arriving to Me, and he who is coming to Me I should under no circumstances be casting out,

²² Judas (not Iscariot) is saying to Him, "Lord, and what has occurred that Thou art about to be disclosing Thyself to us and not to the world? ²³ Jesus answered and said to him, "If anyone should be loving Me, he will be keeping My word, and My Father will be loving him, and We shall be coming to him and making an abode with him."

³⁰ Now he remains two whole years in his own hired house, and he welcomed all those going in to him, ³¹ heralding the kingdom of God, and teaching that which concerns the Lord Jesus Christ with all boldness, unforbidden."

²⁰ Lo! I stand at the door and am knocking. If ever anyone should be hearing My voice and opening the door, I will also be coming in to him and dining with him, and he with Me. "

¹⁸ Now, walking beside the sea of Galilee, He perceived two brothers, Simon, termed Peter, and Andrew, his brother, casting a purse net into the sea, for they were fishers. ¹⁹ And He is saying to them, "Hither! After Me, and I will be making you fishers of men!" ²⁰ Now immediately leaving the nets, they follow Him. ²¹ And, advancing thence, He perceived two others, brothers, James of Zebedee and John, his brother, in the ship with Zebedee, their father, adjusting their nets. And He calls them. ²² Now, immediately leaving the ship and their father, they follow Him.

² Now the names of the twelve apostles are these: First, Simon, termed Peter, and Andrew, his brother, and James of Zebedee, and John, his brother;"

¹⁶ And passing by, beside the sea of Galilee, He perceived Simon, and Andrew, the brother of Simon, purse netting with a purse net in the sea, for they were fishers." ¹⁷ And Jesus said to them, "Hither! After Me, and I will make you become fishers of men!" ¹⁸ And immediately, leaving their nets, they follow Him." ¹⁹ And advancing slightly, He perceived James of Zebedee and John, his brother, who also are in the ship, adjusting the nets." ²⁰ And straightway He calls them. And, leaving their father Zebedee in the ship with the hirelings, they came away after Him."

² and he perceived two ships standing beside the lake. Now the fishers, stepping off from them, rinse off the nets." ³ Now, stepping into one of the ships, which was Simon's, He asks him to be backing up slightly from the land. Now, being seated, He taught the throngs out of the ship." ⁴ Now as He ceases speaking, He said to Simon, "Back up into the depth, and lower your nets for a catch." ⁵ And answering, Simon said to Him, "Doctor, the whole night through, toiling, we did not get one. Yet, at Thy declaration, I shall lower the nets." ⁶ And, this doing, they impound a vast multitude of fishes. Yet their nets tore through, ⁷ and they beckon to their partners in the other ship to come to their aid. And they came, and they fill both the ships so that they are swamped." ⁸ Now perceiving it, Simon Peter prostrates before Jesus' knees, saying, "Come away from me, for a man, a sinner am I, Lord!" ⁹ For awe engulfs him and all those with him at the catch of fishes which they took. ¹⁰ Now likewise are James also and John, sons of Zebedee, who were Simon's mates. And Jesus said to Simon, "Fear not! From now on men you shall be catching alive!" ¹¹ And bringing the ships onto the land, leaving all, they follow Him."

⁴⁰ Now Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, was one of the two who hear from John and follow Him." ⁴¹ This one first is finding his own brother, Simon, and is saying to him, "We have found the Messiah!(which is, being construed, "Christ")." ⁴² And he led him to Jesus. Looking at him, Jesus said, "You are Simon, the son of John. You shall be called Cephas(which is being translated "Peter")."

⁸ One of His disciples, Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, is saying to Him,

¹³ And when they entered it, they went up into the upper chamber where they were residing - both Peter and John and James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James of Alpheus, and Simon the Zealot, and Judas of James."

⁹ And they say one unto another, `We are not doing right this day; a day of tidings it [is], and we are keeping silent; and--we have waited till the light of the morning, then has punishment found us; and now, come and we go in and declare to the house of the king..

² The kings of the earth are standing by, And the chancellors are gathered together Against Yahweh and against His Anointed, saying,

⁷ You love righteousness and hate wickedness; Therefore Elohim Your Elohim has anointed You With the oil of elation beyond Your partners.

²⁰ I have found David My servant; With My holy oil have I anointed him,

³ And go many peoples and say, "Go, and we will ascend to the mount of Yahweh, and to the house of the Elohim of Jacob, and He will direct us in His ways, and we will go in His paths.For from Zion shall fare forth the law, and the word of Yahweh from Jerusalem." ⁴ And He judges between the nations, and corrects many peoples. And they pound their swords into mattocks, and their spears into pruners. And nation is not lifting the sword against nation, nor learning still further to fight." ⁵ And now, O house of Jacob, go! And we shall walk in the light of Yahweh."

² And the spirit of Yahweh shall rest on Him:A spirit of wisdom and understanding, a spirit of counsel and mastery, a spirit of knowledge and the fear of Yahweh."

¹ The spirit of My Lord Yahweh is on Me, because Yahweh anoints Me to bear tidings to the humble. He sends Me to bind up the broken hearted, to herald to captives, liberty, and, to the blind, the unclosing of the eyes, and, to the bound, to take the jubilee,

¹⁷ Now, perceiving it, they make known concerning the declaration that is spoken to them concerning this little Boy."

³⁸ And in the same hour, standing by, she made a response to God, and spoke concerning Him to all who are anticipating redemption in Jerusalem."

¹⁸ The spirit of the Lord is on Me, On account of which He anoints Me to bring the evangel to the poor. He has commissioned Me to heal the crushed heart, To herald to captives a pardon, And to the blind the receiving of sight; To dispatch the oppressed with a pardon." ¹⁹ To herald an acceptable year of the Lord..." ²⁰ And furling the scroll, giving it back to the deputy, He is seated. And the eyes of all in the synagogue were looking intently at Him." ²¹ Now He begins to be saying to them that "Today this scripture is fulfilled in your ears."

³⁶ And, looking at Jesus walking, he is saying, "Lo! the Lamb of God!" ³⁷ And the two disciples hear him speaking, and they follow Jesus."

⁴⁵ Philip is finding Nathanael and is saying to him, "Him of Whom Moses writes in the law and the prophets, have we found Jesus, a son of Joseph, from Nazareth."

²⁵ The woman is saying to Him, "We are aware that Messiah is coming, Who is termed 'Christ,' Whenever He should be coming, He will be informing us of all things."

²⁸ The woman, then, leaves her water pot, and came away into the city, and is saying to the men, ²⁹ Hither! Perceive a Man Who told me all whatever I do. Is not this the Christ?

²⁷ For of a truth, in this city were gathered against Thy holy Boy Jesus, Whom Thou dost anoint, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, together with the nations and the peoples of Israel,

³⁸ Jesus from Nazareth, as God anoints Him with holy spirit and power, Who passed through as a benefactor and healer of all those who are tyrannized over by the Adversary, for God was with Him."

³² And we are bringing to you the evangel which comes to be a promise to the fathers, ³³ that God has fully fulfilled this for our children in raising Jesus, as it is written in the second psalm also, 'My Son art Thou; I, today, have begotten Thee.'"

⁸ Yet to the Son: "Thy throne, O God, is for the eon of the eon, And a scepter of rectitude is the scepter of Thy kingdom." ⁹ Thou lovest righteousness and hatest injustice; Therefore Thou art anointed by God, Thy God, with the oil of exultation beyond Thy partners."

³ That which we have seen and heard we are reporting to you also, that you too may be having fellowship with us, and yet this fellowship of ours is with the Father and with His Son, Jesus Christ."

¹⁷ Now, answering, Jesus said to him, "Happy are you, Simon Bar-Jonah, for flesh and blood does not reveal it to you, but My Father Who is in the heavens." ¹⁸ Now I, also, am saying to you that you are Peter, and on this rock will I be building My ecclesia, and the gates of the unseen shall not be prevailing against it."

¹⁶ And He makes the twelve, and He places on Simon the name "Peter,

⁸ Now perceiving it, Simon Peter prostrates before Jesus' knees, saying, "Come away from me, for a man, a sinner am I, Lord!"

¹⁴ Simon, whom He names also Peter, and Andrew, his brother, and James and John, and Philip and Bartholomew,

⁴⁷ Jesus perceived Nathanael coming toward Him, and is saying concerning him, "Lo! truly an Israelite in whom there is no guile!" ⁴⁸ Nathanael is saying to Him, "Whence do you know me?Jesus answered and said to him, "Before Philip summons you, when you are under the fig tree, I perceived you."

²⁴ Yet Jesus Himself did not entrust Himself to them, because of His knowing all men, ²⁵ for He had no need that anyone should be testifying concerning mankind, for He knew what was in mankind."

⁷⁰ Jesus answered and said to them, "Do not I choose you, the twelve, and one of you is an adversary? ⁷¹ Now He said it of Judas, son of Simon Iscariot, for this man was about to give Him up, being one of the twelve."

¹⁸ Not concerning all of you am I speaking, for I am aware whom I choose, but that the scripture may be fulfilled, 'He who is masticating bread with Me lifts up his heel against Me.'"

² There were alike Simon Peter and Thomas, termed Didymus, and Nathanael from Cana of Galilee, and those of Zebedee, and two others of His disciples."

¹⁵ When, then, they lunch, Jesus is saying to Simon Peter, "Simon of John, are you loving Me more than these?He is saying to Him, "Yes, Lord, Thou art aware that I am fond of Thee!He is saying to him, "Graze My lambkins!" ¹⁶ He is saying to him again a second time, "Simon of John, are you loving Me?He is saying to Him, "Yes, Lord, Thou art aware that I am fond of Thee!He is saying to him, "Shepherd My sheep!" ¹⁷ He is saying to him the third time, "Simon of John, are you fond of Me?Peter was sorry that He said to him the third time "Are you fond of Me?and he is saying to Him, "Lord, Thou art aware of all things! Thou knowest that I am fond of Thee.And Jesus is saying to him, "Graze My little sheep!"

¹² Now I am saying this, that each of you is saying, "I, indeed, am of Paul,yet "I of Apollos,yet "I of Cephas,yet "I of Christ."

²² whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or the present, or that which is impending - all is yours,

⁵ Have we no right at all to be leading about a sister as a wife, even as the rest of the apostles and the brothers of the Lord and Cephas?

⁵ and that He was seen by Cephas, thereupon by the twelve."

⁹ and, knowing the grace which is being given to me, James and Cephas and John, who are supposed to be pillars, give to me and Barnabas the right hand of fellowship, that we, indeed, are to be for the nations, yet they for the Circumcision-"

¹ I am inquired of by those who had not asked for Me. I am found by those who did not seek Me. I say, `Behold Me!' to a nation not calling My name."

¹⁸ Now, walking beside the sea of Galilee, He perceived two brothers, Simon, termed Peter, and Andrew, his brother, casting a purse net into the sea, for they were fishers. ¹⁹ And He is saying to them, "Hither! After Me, and I will be making you fishers of men!" ²⁰ Now immediately leaving the nets, they follow Him. ²¹ And, advancing thence, He perceived two others, brothers, James of Zebedee and John, his brother, in the ship with Zebedee, their father, adjusting their nets. And He calls them.

⁹ And Jesus, passing by thence, perceived a man termed Matthew sitting at the tribute office, and He is saying to him, "Follow Me!And, rising, he follows Him."

³ Philip and Bartholomew, Thomas and Matthew, the tribute collector, James of Alpheus and Thaddeus,

¹⁰ For the Son of Mankind came to seek and to save the lost."

²⁸ These things occurred in Bethany, the other side of the Jordan river, where John was, baptizing."

³⁵ On the morrow John again stood, and two of his disciples."

⁵ Jesus, then, lifting up His eyes and gazing - for a vast throng is coming toward Him - is saying to Philip, "Whence should we be buying bread that these may be eating?

⁷ Then Philip answered Him, "Two hundred denarii worth of bread is not sufficient for them, that each may get a bit."

⁸ Philip is saying to Him, "Lord, show us the Father, and it is sufficing us."

¹² Not that I already obtained, or am already perfected. Yet I am pursuing, if I may be grasping also that for which I was grasped also by Christ Jesus."

¹⁹ We are loving God, for He first loves us."

²¹ Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the powerful deeds which are occurring in you occurred in Tyre and Sidon, long ago they would repent, sitting in sackcloth and ashes."

¹⁸ and Andrew and Philip and Bartholomew and Matthew and Thomas and James of Alpheus and Thaddeus and Simon the Cananite

⁴⁵ And straightway He compels His disciples to step into the ship and precede Him to the other side to Bethsaida, till He is dismissing the throng."

²² And they are coming into Bethsaida, and are bringing to Him a blind man and entreating Him that He should be touching him."

¹⁰ And returning, the apostles relate to Him whatever they do and whatever they teach. And taking them along, He retreats privately into a city called Bethsaida."

¹³ Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! for if the powerful deeds which are occurring in you occurred in Tyre and Sidon, long ago they would repent, sitting in sackcloth and ashes."

⁸ Philip is saying to Him, "Lord, show us the Father, and it is sufficing us." ⁹ Jesus is saying to him, "So much time I am with you, and you do not know Me, Philip! He who has seen Me has seen the Father, and how are you saying, 'Show us the Father'?

¹⁰ Not withdraw shall the sceptre from Judah, nor a statue-maker's staff from between his feet, till it be that ease shall come to him. And to it shall the expectation of the people be.

¹⁸ A Prophet shall I raise up to them from among their brothers, like you, and I will put My words in His mouth, and He will speak to them all that I shall instruct Him. ¹⁹ Yet it will come to be that the man who should not hearken to My words that the Prophet shall speak in My name, I Myself shall require his blood from him. ²⁰ But the prophet who shall act arrogantly by speaking a word in My name which I did not instruct him to speak, or who shall speak in the name of other elohim, that prophet must die. ²¹ In case you should say in your heart:How shall we know the word that Yahweh has not spoken? ²² When a prophet shall speak in the name of Yahweh, and the word shall neither come to be nor come about, then it is a word that Yahweh did not speak, In arrogance did the prophet speak it. You shall not shrink away from him in awe.

² In that day the elegance of Yahweh is coming to be for stateliness, and for glory, and the face of the land for pomp and for beauty, for the delivered of Israel and Judah."

¹² And you speak to him, saying, Thus speaks Yahweh of hosts, saying:Behold the man! Sprout is his name. And from under him shall it sprout. And he shall build the temple of Yahweh,

⁹ Exult exceedingly, daughter of Zion! Shout, daughter of Jerusalem! Behold! your King shall come to you! Righteous and endowed with salvation is He. Humble and riding on an ass, and on a colt, the foal of a she-ass."

²³ And coming, he dwells in a city termed Nazareth, so that that may be fulfilled which is declared through the prophets that: A Nazarene shall He be called.

⁵⁵ Is not this the son of the artisan? Is not his mother said to be Miriam, and his brothers James and Joseph and Simon and Judas?

¹¹ Yet the throngs said, "this is the prophet Jesus, from Nazareth of Galilee."

³ Is not this the artisan, the son of Mary and the brother of James and Joseph and Judas and Simon? And are not his sisters here with us?And they were snared in Him."

⁶⁷ and, perceiving Peter warming himself, looking at him, she is saying, "You also were with Jesus the Nazarean!"

⁴ Now Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judea, into the city of David which is called Bethlehem, because of his being of the house and kindred of David,

²³ And He, Jesus, when beginning, was about thirty years old, being a son (as to the law) of Joseph, of Eli, of Matthat, of Levi,

²² And all testified of Him and marveled at the gracious words which are issuing out of His mouth. And they said, "Is not this Joseph's son?

²⁷ And, beginning from Moses and from all the prophets, He interprets to them, in all the scriptures, that which concerns Himself."

⁴⁴ Now He said to them, "These are My words, which I speak to you, still being with you, for all must be fulfilled that is written in the law of Moses and the prophets and psalms concerning Me."

⁴⁶ And Nathanael said to him, "Can anything good be out of Nazareth?Philip is saying to him, "Come and see!"

⁴⁵ Be not supposing that I shall be accusing you to the Father. He who is accusing you to the Father is Moses, on whom you rely." ⁴⁶ For if you believed Moses, you would believe Me, for he writes concerning Me."

⁴² And they said, "Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, with whose father and mother we are acquainted? How, then, is he saying that 'Out of heaven have I descended'?

⁵ They answered Him, "Jesus, the Nazarene.Jesus is saying to them, "I am He.Now Judas, also, who is giving Him up, stood with them."

¹⁹ Now Pilate writes a title also, and places it on the cross. Now it was written, "Jesus the Nazarene, the King of the Jews."

²² Men! Israelites! Hear these words: Jesus, the Nazarene, a Man demonstrated to be from God for you by powerful deeds and miracles and signs, which God does through Him in the midst of you, according as you yourselves are aware -"

⁶ Yet Peter said, "Silver and gold I do not possess; yet what I have, this I am giving to you. In the name of Jesus Christ, the Nazarene, walk!"

⁸ Yet I answered and said, 'Who art Thou, Lord?' Besides, He said to me, 'I am Jesus, the Nazarene, Whom you are persecuting.'"

⁹ I, indeed, then, suppose myself bound to commit much contrary to the name of Jesus the Nazarene, which I do also in Jerusalem."

²⁸ And filled with fury are all who are in the synagogue, at hearing these things, ²⁹ and rising, they cast Him outside of the city. And they led Him to the brow of the mountain on which their city had been built, so as to push Him over the precipice."

⁵⁷ Now why, even of yourselves, are you not deciding what is just?

²⁹ Hither! Perceive a Man Who told me all whatever I do. Is not this the Christ?

⁴¹ Others said, "This is the Christ!Yet they said, "For not out of Galilee is the Christ coming!" ⁴² Did not the scripture say that out of the seed of David, and from Bethlehem, the village where David was, comes the Christ?

⁵² They answered and say to him, "Not you also are out of Galilee? Search and see that out of Galilee no prophet is roused."

²¹ Yet be testing all, retaining the ideal."

² Happy is the human to whom Yahweh is not reckoning depravity, And in whose spirit there is no deceit!"

¹ {SCROLL THREE{ {An Asaphic Psalm{ Surely Elohim is good to Israel, To those who are pure of heart."

³¹ Jesus, then, said to the Jews who have believed Him, "If ever you should be remaining in My word, you are truly My disciples,

³⁹ They answered and say to Him, "Our father is Abraham.Jesus answered them, "If you are children of Abraham, did you ever do the works of Abraham?

²⁸ For not that which is apparent is the Jew, nor yet that which is apparent in flesh is circumcision;" ²⁹ but that which is hidden is the Jew, and circumcision is of the heart, in spirit, not in letter, whose applause is not of men, but of God."

⁴ who are Israelites, whose is the sonship and the glory and the covenants and the legislation and the divine service and the promises;"

⁶ Now it is not such as that the word of God has lapsed, for not all those out of Israel, these are Israel;"

³ for we are the circumcision who are offering divine service in the spirit of God, and are glorying in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in flesh."

¹ Putting off, then, all malice and all guile and hypocrisies and envies and all vilifications,

²² Who does no sin, neither was guile found in His mouth;"

⁵ And in their mouth falsehood was not found, for they are flawless."

²⁴ And left is Jacob alone. And wrestling is a Man with him till the ascending of the dawn. ²⁵ And seeing is he that he does not prevail against Him. Yet touching is He the palm of his thighbone. And strained is the palm of Jacob's thighbone in his wrestling with Him. ²⁶ And saying is He to him, "Send Me away, for the dawn ascends.And saying is he, "Not letting You go am I save You bless me. ²⁷ And saying is He to him, "What is your name?And saying is he, "Jacob.

¹ {A Davidic Psalm{ O Yahweh, You have investigated me and are knowing me;" ² You Yourself know my sitting down and my rising up; You understand my thought from afar;

²⁴ And it comes, ere they are calling, then I will answer; they are still speaking when I will hearken."

⁶ Now you, whenever you may be praying, enter into your storeroom, and, locking your door, pray to your Father Who is in hiding, and your Father, Who is observing in hiding, will be paying you."

²⁵ for He had no need that anyone should be testifying concerning mankind, for He knew what was in mankind."

⁵ So that, be not judging anything before the season, till the Lord should be coming, Who will also illuminate the hidden things of darkness and manifest the counsels of the hearts. And then applause will be coming to each one from God."

²⁵ The hidden things of his heart are becoming apparent, and thus, falling on his face, he will be worshiping God, reporting that God really is among you."

¹⁸ And to the messenger of the ecclesia in Thyatira write: `Now this the Son of God is saying, Who has His eyes as a flame of fire, and His feet like white bronze:" ¹⁹ '"I am aware of your acts and love and faith and service and your endurance, and your last acts are more than the former."

⁶ I will pour a libation on My King, On Zion, My holy mountain.

¹ {A Davidic Psalm{ The averring of Yahweh to my Lord:Sit at My right Until I should set Your enemies as a stool for Your feet.

⁷ To the increase of the chieftainship, and to the welfare shall be no end. On the throne of David, and over his kingdom, to prepare it, and to brace it with judgment and with justice, henceforth and in the future eon. The zeal of Yahweh of hosts will do this."

⁵ Lo, days are coming--an affirmation of Yahweh, And I have raised to David a righteous shoot, And a king has reigned and acted wisely, And done judgment and righteousness in the earth." ⁶ In his days is Judah saved, and Israel dwells confidently, And this his name that Yahweh proclaims him, `Our Righteousness.'"

²¹ and speak you unto them:Thus said the Lord Yahweh:Lo, I am taking the sons of Israel, From among the nations whither they have gone, And have gathered them from round about, And I have brought them in unto their land." ²² And I have made them become one nation in the land, on mountains of Israel, And one king is to them all for king, And they are no more as two nations, Nor are they divided any more into two kingdoms again." ²³ Nor are they defiled any more with their idols, And with their abominations, And with any of their transgressions, And I have saved them out of all their dwellings, In which they have sinned, And I have cleansed them, And they have been to Me for a people, And I--I am to them for Elohim." ²⁴ And My servant David [is] king over them, And one shepherd have they all, And in My judgments they go, And My statutes they keep, and have done them." ²⁵ And they have dwelt on the land that I gave to My servant, to Jacob, In which your fathers have dwelt, And they have dwelt on it, they and their sons, And their son's sons--unto the eon, And David My servant [is] their prince--to the eon."

²⁵ And you shall know and be intelligent:From the faring forth of the word to cause a return and to rebuild Jerusalem--from then till Messiah the Governor is seven sevens, and sixty-two sevens. It will return and will be rebuilt, square and salient, even in eras of constraint."

⁵ Afterward are the sons of Israel returning, and they seek Yahweh their Elohim, and David their king, and they come in awe to Yahweh and to His goodness, in the latter days."

¹⁵ Yahweh takes away your judgments; He faces your enemies about. The King of Israel, Yahweh, is within you; you shall see no further evil."

¹² And you speak to him, saying, Thus speaks Yahweh of hosts, saying:Behold the man! Sprout is his name. And from under him shall it sprout. And he shall build the temple of Yahweh, ¹³ even he shall build the temple of Yahweh, and he shall bear the splendor. And he shall sit and rule on his throne, and there comes to be a priest at his throne, and the counsel of welfare shall come to be between the two of them."

² saying, "Where is He Who is brought forth King of the Jews? For we perceived His star in the East, and we came to worship Him."

³³ Now those in the ship worship Him, saying, "Truly, God's Son art Thou!"

⁵ Say to the daughter of Zion, Lo! your King is coming to you, Meek, and mounted on an ass, And on a colt, the foal of a yokebeast."

¹¹ Now Jesus was standing in front of the governor. And the governor inquires of Him, saying, "You are the king of the Jews?Now Jesus averred to him, 'You are saying it!"

⁴² Others he saves! Himself he can not save! If he is king of Israel, let him descend now from the cross, and we will believe on him!"

³⁸ saying, "Blessed be the King coming in the name of the Lord! In heaven peace, and glory among the highest!"

³⁴ And I have seen and have testified that This One is the Son of God."

³⁸ Now Jesus, being turned and gazing at them following, is saying to them, "What are you seeking?Yet they said to Him, "Rabbi(which, being construed, is termed "Teacher"), "where art Thou remaining?

¹³ got fronds of palms and came out to meet Him. And they clamored, saying, "Hosanna! Blessed is He Who is coming in the name of the Lord!and "The King of Israel!" ¹⁴ Now Jesus, finding a little ass, is seated on it, according as it is written, ¹⁵ Do not fear, daughter of Zion! Lo! your King is coming, sitting on an ass's colt."

³⁷ Pilate, then, said to Him, "Is it not then so? A king are you!Jesus answered, "You are saying that I am a king. For this also have I been born, and for this have I come into the world, that I should be testifying to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth is hearing My voice."

¹⁹ Now Pilate writes a title also, and places it on the cross. Now it was written, "Jesus the Nazarene, the King of the Jews." ²⁰ This title, then, many of the Jews read, for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city, and it was written in Hebrew, Latin and Greek." ²¹ The chief priests of the Jews, then, said to Pilate, "Do not be writing 'The King of the Jews' but that 'that one said "King of the Jews am I."'" ²² Pilate answered, "What I have written, I have written!"

²⁸ And Thomas answered and said to Him, "My Lord and my God!" ²⁹ Now Jesus is saying to him, "Seeing that you have seen Me, you have believed. Happy are those who are not perceiving and believe."

²⁹ For to everyone who has shall be given, and he shall have a superfluity, yet from the one who has not, that also which he has shall be taken away from him;"

⁴⁵ And happy is she who believes, seeing that there shall be a maturing of that which has been spoken to her by the Lord!"

⁹ Now, hearing these things, Jesus marvels at him, and, being turned to the throng following Him, said, "I am saying to you that not even in Israel did I find so much faith."

²⁹ Now Jesus is saying to him, "Seeing that you have seen Me, you have believed. Happy are those who are not perceiving and believe."

¹² And dreaming is he, and behold! A stairway set up earthward, with its head touching the heavens. And behold! Messengers of the Elohim are ascending and descending on it.

¹ And it comes to pass, in the thirtieth year, in the fourth [month], in the fifth of the month, and I [am] in the midst of the Removed by the river Chebar, the heavens have been opened, and I see visions of Elohim."

⁹ Perceiving am I till thrones were placed, and the Transferrer of Days sits:His clothing is pale as snow, and the hair of His head as immaculate wool; His throne is as flaring flame, its rollers a flashing flame." ¹⁰ Streaming is a flame in front and issuing from before Him; a thousand thousands are irradiating Him, and ten thousand ten thousands are rising before Him. Adjudication sits and the scrolls are opened."

¹³ Perceiving am I in the visions of the night, and behold, on the clouds of the heavens, One as a son of a mortal is arriving:Unto the Transferrer of Days He reaches, and they bring Him near before Him;" ¹⁴ to Him is granted jurisdiction and esteem and a kingdom, and all the peoples and leagues and language-groups shall serve Him; His jurisdiction, as an eonian jurisdiction, will not pass away, and His kingdom shall not be confined."

⁷ O sword! rouse against My Shepherd, and against the Master, My Companion, (averring is Yahweh of hosts). Smite the Shepherd, and the flock is scattering. And I restore My hand on the inferior shepherds."

¹¹ Then the Adversary is leaving Him. And lo! messengers approached and waited on Him.

²⁰ And Jesus is saying to him, "The jackals have burrows, and the flying creatures of heaven roosts, yet the Son of Mankind has no where that He may be reclining His head."

⁶ Now, that you may be perceiving that the Son of Mankind has authority on earth to pardon sins"-then He is saying to the paralytic, "Being roused, pick up your couch and go into your house."

¹³ Now Jesus, coming into parts of Caesarea Philippi, asked His disciples, saying, "Who are men saying the Son of Mankind is? ¹⁴ Now they say, "These, indeed, John the baptist; yet others Elijah; yet others Jeremiah or one of the prophets." ¹⁵ He is saying to them, "Now you, who are you saying that I am? ¹⁶ Now answering, Simon Peter said, "Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God."

²⁷ Verily I am saying to you that there are some of those standing here who under no circumstances should be tasting death till they should be perceiving the Son of Mankind coming in His kingdom."

³¹ Now, whenever the Son of Mankind may be coming in His glory, and all the holy messengers with Him, then shall He be seated on the throne of His glory,

²⁴ The Son of Mankind is indeed going away, according as it is written concerning Him, yet woe to that man through whom the Son of Mankind is being given up! Ideal were it for Him if that man were not born!"

⁶² Now Jesus said, "I am; and you shall be seeing the Son of Mankind sitting at the right hand of power and coming with the clouds of heaven."

⁹ And lo! a messenger of the Lord stood by them, and the glory of God shines about them, and they were afraid with a great fear."

¹³ And suddenly with the messenger there came to be a multitude of the heavenly host, praising God and saying,

²¹ Now it occurred, as all the people are baptized, at Jesus also being baptized and praying, heaven is opened,

⁴³ Now a messenger from heaven was seen by Him, strengthening Him."

⁶⁹ Yet from now on the Son of Mankind shall be sitting at the right hand of the power of God."

⁴ And it occurred, at their being perplexed concerning this, lo! two men stand by them in flashing attire."

¹³ And no one has ascended into heaven except He Who descends out of heaven, the Son of Mankind Who is in heaven." ¹⁴ And, according as Moses exalts the serpent in the wilderness, thus must the Son of Mankind be exalted,

¹⁹ Jesus, then, answers and said to them, "Verily, verily, I am saying to you, The Son can not be doing anything of Himself if it is not what He should be observing the Father doing, for whatever He may be doing, this the Son also is doing likewise."

²⁴ Verily, verily, I am saying to you that he who is hearing My word and believing Him Who sends Me, has life eonian and is not coming into judging, but has proceeded out of death into life." ²⁵ Verily, verily, I am saying to you that coming is an hour, and now is, when the dead shall be hearing the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear shall be living."

²⁷ And He gives Him authority to do judging, seeing that He is a son of mankind."

²⁶ Jesus answered them and said, "Verily, verily, I am saying to you, You are seeking Me, not that you perceived signs, but that you ate of the bread and are satisfied. "

⁴⁷ Verily, verily, I am saying to you that he who is believing in Me has life eonian."

⁵³ Jesus, then, said to them, "Verily, verily, I am saying to you, If you should not be eating the flesh of the Son of Mankind and drinking His blood, you have no eonian life in yourselves."

³⁴ Jesus answered them, "Verily, verily, I am saying to you that everyone who is doing sin, is a slave of sin."

⁵¹ Verily, Verily, I am saying to you, If ever anyone should be keeping My word, he should under no circumstances be beholding death for the eon."

¹ Verily, verily, I am saying to you, he who is not entering through the door into the fold of the sheep, but is climbing up elsewhere, that one is a thief and a robber."

⁷ Jesus, then, said to them again, "Verily, verily, I am saying to you that I am the Door of the sheep."

²³ Yet Jesus is answering them, saying, "Come has the hour that the Son of Mankind should be glorified." ²⁴ Verily, verily, I am saying to you, If a kernel of grain, falling into the earth, should not be dying, it is remaining alone, yet if it should be dying, it is bringing forth much fruit."

¹⁶ Verily, verily, I am saying to you, A slave is not greater than his lord, neither is an apostle greater than He Who sends him."

²⁰ Verily, verily, I am saying to you, whoever is taking anyone I shall be sending, is taking Me; yet he who is taking Me is taking Him Who sends Me." ²¹ These things saying, Jesus was disturbed in spirit, and testifies and said, "Verily, verily, I am saying to you that one of you will be giving Me up."

³⁸ Jesus is answering, "Your soul for My sake you will be laying down? Verily, verily, I am saying to you, Under no circumstances should a cock be crowing till you will be renouncing Me thrice."

¹² Verily, verily, I am saying to you, he who is believing in Me, the works which I am doing he also will be doing, and greater than these will he be doing, for I am going to the Father."

²⁰ Verily, verily, I am saying to you that you shall be lamenting and wailing, yet the world will be rejoicing; yet you shall be sorrowed, but your sorrow shall become joy."

²³ And in that day you will not be asking Me anything. "Verily, verily, I am saying to you that whatever you should be requesting the Father, He will be giving it to you in My name."

¹⁸ Verily, verily, I am saying to you, When you were younger you girded yourself and walked where you would; yet whenever you may be growing decrepit, you will stretch out your hands, and another shall be girding you and carrying you where you would not."

¹⁰ And as they were looking intently into heaven at His going, lo! two men stand beside them in white attire, ¹¹ who say also, "Men! Galileans! Why do you stand, looking into heaven? This Jesus Who is being taken up from you into heaven shall come thus, in the manner in which you gaze at Him going into heaven."

⁵⁶ and said, "Lo! I am beholding the heavens opened up, and the Son of Mankind standing at the right hand of God."

¹¹ and he is beholding heaven open and a certain utensil descending, as a large sheet, with four edges, being let down on the earth,

⁷ and to you who are being afflicted, ease, with us, at the unveiling of the Lord Jesus from heaven with His powerful messengers,

⁹ who shall incur the justice of eonian extermination from the face of the Lord, and from the glory of His strength"

¹⁴ Are they not all ministering spirits commissioned for service because of those who are about to be enjoying the allotment of salvation?

¹⁴ Now Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesies to these also, saying, "Lo! the Lord came among ten thousand of His saints,

¹ After these things I perceived, and lo! a door is open in heaven, and lo! the first sound which I hear is as a trumpet speaking with me, saying, "Come up here! and I will be showing you what must be occurring after these things."

¹¹ And I perceived heaven open, and lo! a white horse. And He Who is sitting on it is called "Faithful and True,and in righteousness is He judging and battling."
