²¹ And He said to them, "How is it you are not as yet understanding?

⁴³ Wherefore do you not know My speech? Seeing that you can not hear My word.

⁴ For God said, 'Honor father and mother,' and, 'He who is saying aught that is evil of father or mother, let him decease in death.'" ⁵ Yet you are saying that 'Whoever may be saying to father or mother, "An approach present is whatsoever you may be benefited by me, ⁶ by no means shall he be honoring his father.' And you invalidate the word of God because of your tradition. ⁷ Hypocrites! Ideally Isaiah prophesies concerning you, saying, ⁸ This people with their lips is honoring Me, Yet their heart is away at a distance from Me." ⁹ Yet in vain are they revering Me, Teaching for teachings the directions of men."

¹³ Now woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for you are locking the kingdom of the heavens in front of men.

Now these it was binding for you to do, and not leave those." ²⁴ Blind guides! straining out a gnat, yet swallowing a camel!" ²⁵ Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for you are cleansing the outside of the cup and the plate, yet inside they are brimming with rapacity and incontinence." ²⁶ Blind Pharisee! Cleanse first the inside of the cup and the plate, that their outside also may be becoming clean!" ²⁷ Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for you are resembling the whitewashed sepulchers which outside, indeed, are appearing beautiful, yet inside they are crammed with the bones of the dead and all uncleanness." ²⁸ Thus you, also, outside, indeed, are appearing to men to be just, yet inside you are distended with hypocrisy and lawlessness."

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

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;"

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."

⁸ for the Son of Mankind is Lord of the sabbath."

³² And whosoever may be saying a word against the Son of Mankind, it will be pardoned him, yet whoever may be saying aught against the holy spirit, it shall not be pardoned him, neither in this eon nor in that which is impending."

⁴⁰ For even as Jonah was in the bowel of the sea monster three days and three nights, thus will the Son of Mankind be in the heart of the earth three days and three nights."

³⁷ Now He, answering, said, "He Who is sowing the ideal seed is the Son of Mankind."

⁴¹ The Son of Mankind shall be dispatching His messengers, and they shall be culling out of His kingdom all the snares and those doing lawlessness,

²¹ And, coming out thence, Jesus retires into parts of Tyre and Sidon."

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,

²⁷ And Jesus and His disciples came out into the villages of Caesarea Philippi. And on the way He inquired of His disciples, saying to them, "Who are men saying that I am? ²⁸ Now they say to Him, "'John the baptist,' and others 'Elijah,' yet others that He is 'one of the prophets.'" ²⁹ And He inquired of them, "Now you, who are you saying that I am?And answering, Peter is saying to Him, "Thou art the Christ, the Son of God."

⁴⁵ For even the Son of Mankind came, not to be served, but to serve, and to give His soul a ransom for many."

¹⁸ And it occurred, as He is praying in seclusion, the disciples were together with Him, and Jesus inquires of them, saying, "Who are the throngs saying that I am? ¹⁹ Now they, answering, say, "'John the baptist,' yet others 'Elijah,' yet others that 'Some prophet of the ancients rose.'" ²⁰ Now He said to them, "Now you, who are you saying that I am?Now Peter, answering, said, "The Christ of God."

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."

¹⁴ And, according as Moses exalts the serpent in the wilderness, thus must the Son of Mankind be exalted,

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

³⁴ The throng, then, answered Him, "We hear out of the law that the Christ is remaining for the eon, and how are you saying that the Son of Mankind must be exalted? Who is this Son of Mankind?

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

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."

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." ¹⁸ For in what He has suffered, undergoing trial, He is able to help those who are being tried."

¹⁵ Yet others said that "He is Elijah.Yet others said that "A prophet is he, as one of the prophets."

²⁸ Now they say to Him, "'John the baptist,' and others 'Elijah,' yet others that He is 'one of the prophets.'"

⁸ yet by some that "Elijah appeared,yet by others that "Some prophet of the ancients rose."

¹⁸ And it occurred, as He is praying in seclusion, the disciples were together with Him, and Jesus inquires of them, saying, "Who are the throngs saying that I am? ¹⁹ Now they, answering, say, "'John the baptist,' yet others 'Elijah,' yet others that 'Some prophet of the ancients rose.'"

²¹ And they ask him again, "What are you then? Are you Elijah?And he is saying, "I am not."

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."

⁴⁰ Some of the throng, then, hearing these sayings, said that "This truly is the prophet!" ⁴¹ Others said, "This is the Christ!Yet they said, "For not out of Galilee is the Christ coming!"

¹⁷ They are saying, then, again to him who once was blind, "What are you saying concerning him, seeing that he opens your eyes?Now he said that "A prophet is He."

¹¹ Now, answering, He said to them that "To you has it been given to know the secrets of the kingdom of the heavens, yet to those it has not been given."

²⁹ And He inquired of them, "Now you, who are you saying that I am?And answering, Peter is saying to Him, "Thou art the Christ, the Son of God."

²⁰ Now He said to them, "Now you, who are you saying that I am?Now Peter, answering, said, "The Christ of God."

²⁶ For who is there of all flesh that has heard the voice of the living Elohim speaking from the midst of the fire as we have, and he still lives?

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

² My soul thirsts for Elohim, for the living El; When shall I come and appear before Elohim?

²⁶ From before me is promulgated this decree:In every authority of my kingdom be they stirred and terrified before Daniel's Eloah:He is the living Eloah and is set up for the eons. His kingdom shall not come to harm and His jurisdiction is till the terminus.

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

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

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."

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!"

⁶¹ Yet Jesus was silent and does not answer anything. Again the chief priest inquired of Him and is saying to Him, "Are you the Christ, the Son of God, the Blessed?

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

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

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."

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."

³⁶ Now as they went along the road they came to some water, and the eunuch is averring, "Lo! Water! What is preventing me from being baptized?

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

¹⁵ and saying, "Men! Why are you doing these things? We also are men, of like emotions as you, bringing the evangel to you to turn you back from these vain things to the living God, Who makes heaven and the earth and the sea and all that is in them,

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

³ for you are manifesting a letter of Christ, dispensed by us, and engraven, not with ink, but with the spirit of the living God, not on stone tablets, but on the fleshy tablets of the heart."

¹⁶ Now what concurrence has a temple of God with idols? For you are the temple of the living God, according as God said, that I will be making My home and will be walking in them, and I will be their God, and they shall be My people."

⁹ for they are reporting concerning us, what kind of an entrance we have had to you, and how you turn back to God from idols, to be slaving for the living and true God,

¹⁵ yet, if I should be tardy, that you may be perceiving how one must behave in God's house, which is the ecclesia of the living God, the pillar and base of the truth."

¹⁰ (for for this are we toiling and being reproached), that we rely on the living God, Who is the Saviour of all mankind,

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;" ⁴ becoming so much better than the messengers as He enjoys the allotment of a more excellent name than they. 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"?

³¹ Fearful is it to be falling into the hands of the living God!

²² But you have come to mount Zion, and the city of the living God, celestial Jerusalem, and to ten thousand messengers,

¹⁵ Whoever should be avowing that Jesus is the Son of God, God is remaining in him, and he in God."

⁵ Now who is he who is conquering the world if not he who is believing that Jesus is the Son of God?

²⁰ Yet we are aware that the Son of God is arriving, and has given us a comprehension, that we know the True One, and we are in the True One, in His Son, Jesus Christ. This One is the true God and life eonian."

¹³ And all your sons are taught by Yahweh, and much is the welfare of your sons."

³ "Happy, in spirit, are the poor, for theirs is the kingdom of the heavens. ⁴ "Happy are those who mourn now, for they shall be consoled. ⁵ "Happy are the meek, for they shall be enjoying the allotment of the land. ⁶ "Happy are those who are hungering and thirsting for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied. ⁷ "Happy are the merciful, for they shall be shown mercy. ⁸ "Happy are the clean in heart, for they shall see God. ⁹ "Happy are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God. ¹⁰ "Happy are those persecuted on account of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of the heavens. ¹¹ "Happy are you whenever they should be reproaching and persecuting you and, falsifying, saying every wicked thing against you, on my account.

²⁵ At that season, answering, Jesus said, "I am acclaiming Thee, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, for Thou hidest these things from the wise and intelligent and Thou dost reveal them to minors." ²⁶ Yea, Father, seeing that thus it became a delight in front of Thee." 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."

¹⁶ Yet happy are your eyes, for they are observing, and your ears, for they are hearing." ¹⁷ For verily I am saying to you that many prophets and just men yearn to perceive what you are observing, and perceive not, and to hear what you are hearing, and hear not."

²¹ In this hour He exults in the holy spirit and said, "I am acclaiming Thee, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, for Thou dost conceal these things from the wise and intelligent and Thou dost reveal them to minors. Yea, Father, seeing that thus it became a delight in front of Thee." 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." ²³ And being turned to the disciples, He said privately, "Happy are the eyes that are observing what you are observing!" ²⁴ For I am saying to you that many prophets and kings want to perceive what you are observing, and they perceive not, and to hear of Me what you are hearing, and they hear not."

³² Yet I besought concerning you, that your faith may not be defaulting. And once you turn back, establish your brethren."

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")."

⁴⁵ It is written in the prophets: And they shall all be taught of God. Everyone, then, who hears from the Father and is learning the truth, is coming to Me."

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." ⁷ Now they know that all, whatever Thou hast given Me, is from Thee, ⁸ for the declarations which Thou hast given Me, I have given them, and they took them, and know truly that I came out from Thee, and they believe that thou dost commission Me."

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!"

⁹ But, according as it is written, That which the eye did not perceive, and the ear did not hear, and to which the heart of man did not ascend - whatever God makes ready for those who are loving Him." ¹⁰ Yet to us God reveals them through His spirit, for the spirit is searching all, even the depths of God." ¹¹ For is any of humanity acquainted with that which is human except the spirit of humanity which is in it? Thus also, that which is of God no one knows, except the spirit of God." ¹² Now we obtained, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God, that we may be perceiving that which is being graciously given to us by God,

⁵⁰ Now this I am averring, brethren, that flesh and blood is not able to enjoy an allotment in the kingdom of God, neither is corruption enjoying the allotment of incorruption."

¹¹ For I am making known to you, brethren, as to the evangel which is being brought by me, that it is not in accord with man." ¹² For neither did I accept it from a man, nor was I taught it, but it came through a revelation of Jesus Christ."

¹⁶ to unveil His Son in me that I may be evangelizing Him among the nations, I did not immediately submit it to flesh and blood, ¹⁷ that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may be giving you a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the realization of Him, ¹⁸ the eyes of your heart having been enlightened, for you to perceive what is the expectation of His calling, and what the riches of the glory of the enjoyment of His allotment among the saints,

⁸ For in grace, through faith, are you saved, and this is not out of you; it is God's approach present,

⁵ which, in other generations, is not made known to the sons of humanity as it was now revealed to His holy apostles and prophets): in spirit"

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.

¹² for it is not ours to wrestle with blood and flesh, but with the sovereignties, with the authorities, with the world-mights of this darkness, with the spiritual forces of wickedness among the celestials."

²⁶ the secret which has been concealed from the eons and from the generations, yet now was made manifest to His saints, ²⁷ to whom God wills to make known what are the glorious riches of this secret among the nations, which is: Christ among you, the expectation of glory"

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,

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, ⁴ for the enjoyment of an allotment incorruptible and undefiled and unfading, kept in the heavens for you, ⁵ who are garrisoned by the power of God, through faith, for salvation ready to be revealed in the last era,

¹ The elders, then, among you I am entreating (who am a fellow elder and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and a participant of the glory about to be revealed),

¹⁷ that, blessing, yea, blessing you am I, and increasing, yea, increasing your seed am I as the stars of the heavens and as the sand which is on the sea shore. And your seed shall tenant the gateway of its enemies,

⁴ And the king said unto them, `That which is good in your eyes I do;' and the king stands at the side of the gate, and all the people have gone out by hundreds and by thousands,

¹⁷ Have the gates of death been revealed to you, And have you seen the gates of the shadow of death?

¹³ Be gracious to me, O Yahweh; See my humiliation from those hating me; You are raising me up from the gateways of death,

¹² Those sitting in the gateway are mulling over me, And those drinking intoxicants make me the accompaniment of their songs."

¹⁸ Their soul abhorred all food, And they touched close unto the gates of death."

¹ {A Song of Ascents{ Those who trust in Yahweh are like Mount Zion which is immovable; It shall dwell securely for the eon. ² As Jerusalem has mountains round about it, So Yahweh is round about His people Henceforth and unto the eon."

⁵ Happy is the master who fills his quiver with them; They shall not be ashamed When they are speaking with enemies in the gateway.

⁷ Wisdom is too high for the fool; In the gateway he does not open his mouth.

⁶ and for a spirit of judgment for him sitting in judgment, and for mastery to those reversing the battle directed toward the gate."

¹⁶ Wherefore, thus says my Lord Yahweh, "Behold Me laying in Zion a foundation stone, a choice stone, a corner of a precious well-founded foundation. The believer on it shall not be put to shame."

¹⁰ I, yea, I say:In the height of my days am I going into the gates of the unseen, made to miss the rest of my years."

¹⁷ Any implement formed against you shall not prosper, and any tongue which rises against you for judgment you shall condemn. This is the allotment of the servants of Yahweh, and their righteousness is from Me,averring is Yahweh."

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 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;"

²³ And you, Capernaum! Not to heaven shall you be exalted! To the unseen shall you subside, for, if the powerful deeds which are occurring in you had occurred in Sodom, it might remain unto today."

¹⁷ Now, if ever he should be disobeying them, tell it to the ecclesia. Now, if ever he should be disobeying the ecclesia also, let him be to you even as the man of the nations, and the tribute collector."

²⁷ My sheep are hearing My voice, and I know them, and they are following Me." ²⁸ And I am giving them life eonian, and they should by no means be perishing for the eon, and no one shall be snatching them out of My hand." ²⁹ My Father, Who has given them to Me, is greater than all, and no one is able to be snatching them out of My Father's hand." ³⁰ I and the Father, We are one."

⁴⁷ praising God and having favor for the whole people. Now the Lord added those being saved day by day in the same place.

¹ Yet Saul was endorsing his assassination. Now in that day there came to be a great persecution of the ecclesia which is in Jerusalem, and they were all dispersed among the districts of Judea and Samaria, save the apostles."

³³ Who will be indicting God's chosen ones? God, the Justifier? ³⁴ Who is the Condemner? Christ Jesus, the One dying, yet rather being roused, Who is also at God's right hand, Who is pleading also for our sakes? ³⁵ What shall be separating us from the love of God in Christ Jesus? Affliction, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword? ³⁶ According as it is written that "On Thy account we are being put to death the whole day, We are reckoned as sheep for slaughter." ³⁷ Nay! in all these we are more than conquering through Him Who loves us. ³⁸ For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor messengers, nor sovereignties, nor the present, nor what is impending, nor powers, ³⁹ nor height, nor depth, nor any other creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus, our Lord."

⁹ For God's fellow workers are we. God's farm, God's building, are you." ¹⁰ According to the grace of God which is being granted to me, as a wise foreman I lay a foundation, yet another is building on it. Yet let each one beware how he is building on it." ¹¹ For other foundation can no one lay beside that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ."

⁵⁵ Where, O Death, is your victory? Where, O Death, is your sting?

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-"

¹⁹ Consequently, then, no longer are you guests and sojourners, but are fellow-citizens of the saints and belong to God's family, ²⁰ being built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, the capstone of the corner being Christ Jesus Himself, ²¹ in Whom the entire building, being connected together, is growing into a holy temple in the Lord:" ²² in Whom you, also, are being built together for God's dwelling place, in spirit."

¹⁰ that now may be made known to the sovereignties and the authorities among the celestials, through the ecclesia, the multifarious wisdom of God,

²⁵ Husbands, be loving your wives according as Christ also loves the ecclesia, and gives Himself up for its sake, ²⁶ that He should be hallowing it, cleansing it in the bath of the water (with His declaration), ²⁷ that He should be presenting to Himself a glorious ecclesia, not having spot or wrinkle or any such things, but that it may be holy and flawless."

³² This secret is great: yet I am saying this as to Christ and as to the ecclesia.

¹⁸ And He is the Head of the body, the ecclesia, Who is Sovereign, Firstborn from among the dead, that in all He may be becoming first,

⁵ now if anyone is not aware how to control his own household, how will he care for the ecclesia of God? -"

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."

²⁸ Wherefore, accepting an unshakable kingdom, we may have grace through which we may be offering divine service in a way well pleasing to God, with piety and dread,

¹⁵ And the seventh messenger trumpets. And loud voices occurred in heaven, saying, "The kingdom of this world became our Lord's and His Christ's, and He shall be reigning for the eons of the eons! Amen!"

¹ And I perceived a new heaven and a new earth, for the former heaven and the former earth pass away, and the sea is no more." ² I perceived the holy city, new Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God, made ready as a bride adorned for her husband." 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." ⁴ And He will be brushing away every tear from their eyes. And death will be no more, nor mourning, nor clamor, nor misery; they will be no more, for the former things passed away."

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 I bestow the key of the house of David on his shoulder. And he opens, and there is no locking, and he locks, and there is no opening."

¹⁸ Verily, I am saying to you, Whatsoever you should be binding on the earth shall be those things having been bound in the heavens, and whatsoever you should be loosing on the earth shall be those loose in heaven."

²³ If you should be forgiving anyone's sins, they have been forgiven them. If anyone's you should be holding, they are held."

¹⁴ Now Peter, standing with the eleven, lifts up his voice and declaims to them: "Men! Jews! and all who are dwelling at Jerusalem! Let this be known to you, and give ear to my declarations, ¹⁵ for these are not drunk, as you take it, for it is the third hour of the day." ¹⁶ But this is that which has been declared through the prophet Joel: ¹⁷ And it shall be in the last days,' (God is saying) 'I shall be pouring out from My spirit on all flesh, And your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, And your youths visions shall be seeing, And your elders dreams shall be dreaming, ¹⁸ And surely on My men slaves and on My women slaves in those days shall I be pouring out from My spirit,' and they shall be prophesying." ¹⁹ And I will give miracles in heaven above, And signs on the earth below, Blood and fire and vapor pillars of smoke, ²⁰ The sun shall be converted into darkness And the moon into blood Ere the coming of the day of the Lord, The great and advent day." ²¹ And it shall be that everyone, whosoever should be invoking the name of the Lord, shall be saved.'" 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 -" ²³ This One, given up in the specific counsel and foreknowledge of God, you, gibbeting by the hand of the lawless, assassinate, ²⁴ Whom God raises, loosing the pangs of death, forasmuch as it was not possible for Him to be held by it." ²⁵ For David is saying to Him, I saw the Lord before me continually, Seeing that He is at my right hand, that I may not be shaken." ²⁶ Therefore gladdened was my heart, And exultant my tongue. Now, still my flesh also shall be tenting in expectation, ²⁷ For Thou wilt not be forsaking my soul in the unseen, Nor wilt Thou be giving Thy Benign One to be acquainted with decay." ²⁸ Thou makest known to me the paths of life. Thou wilt be filling me with gladness with Thy face.' ²⁹ Men! Brethren! Allow me to say to you with boldness concerning the patriarch David, that he deceases also and was entombed, and his tomb is among us until this day." ³⁰ Being, then, inherently, a prophet, and having perceived that God swears to him with an oath, out of the fruit of his loin to seat One on his throne, ³¹ perceiving this before, he speaks concerning the resurrection of the Christ, that He was neither forsaken in the unseen, nor was His flesh acquainted with decay." ³² This Jesus God raises, of Whom we all are witnesses." ³³ Being, then, to the right hand of God exalted, besides obtaining the promise of the holy spirit from the Father, He pours out this which you are observing and hearing." ³⁴ For David did not ascend into the heavens, yet he is saying, 'Said the Lord to my Lord, "Sit at My right" ³⁵ Till I should be placing Thine enemies for a footstool for Thy feet."'" ³⁶ Let all the house of Israel know certainly, then, that God makes Him Lord as well as Christ - this Jesus Whom you crucify!" ³⁷ Now, hearing this, their heart was pricked with compunction. Besides, they said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, "What should we be doing, men, brethren? ³⁸ Now Peter is averring to them, "Repent and be baptized each of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the pardon of your sins, and you shall be obtaining the gratuity of the holy spirit." ³⁹ For to you is the promise and to your children, and to all those afar, whosoever the Lord our God should be calling to Him." ⁴⁰ Besides, with more and different words, he conjures and entreated them, saying, "Be saved from this crooked generation!" ⁴¹ Those indeed, then, who welcome his word, are baptized, and there were added in that day about three thousand souls." ⁴² Now they were persevering in the teaching of the apostles, and in fellowship, and in the breaking of bread, and in prayers."

³⁴ Now Peter, opening his mouth, said, "Of a truth I am grasping that God is not partial, ³⁵ but in every nation he who is fearing Him and acting righteously is acceptable to Him. ³⁶ Of the word He dispatches to the sons of Israel, bringing the evangel of peace through Jesus Christ (He is Lord of all), ³⁷ you are aware, the declaration coming to be down the whole of Judea, beginning from Galilee after the baptism which John heralds:" 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." ³⁹ And we are witnesses of all that He does, both in the country of the Jews and in Jerusalem; Whom they assassinate also, hanging Him on a pole." ⁴⁰ This One God rouses the third day, and gives Him to become disclosed, ⁴¹ not to the entire people, but to witnesses who have been selected before by God, to us who ate and drank together with Him after His rising from among the dead." ⁴² And He charges us to herald to the people and to certify that this One is He Who is specified by God to be Judge of the living and the dead. ⁴³ To this One are all the prophets testifying: Everyone who is believing in Him is to obtain the pardon of sins through His name."

⁷ Now, there coming to be much questioning, rising, Peter said to them, "Men! Brethren! You are versed in the fact that from the days at the beginning God chooses among you, that through my mouth the nations are to hear the word of the evangel and believe."

⁴ in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ (you being gathered, and my spirit, together with the power of our Lord Jesus), ⁵ to give up such a one to Satan for the extermination of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus."

¹⁰ Now, with whom you are dealing graciously in anything, I, also. For in what I also have dealt graciously (if I have dealt graciously in anything), it is because of you in the face of Christ,

⁸ Surely, in consequence, then, he who is repudiating is not repudiating man, but God, Who is also giving His holy spirit to you."

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 And to the messenger of the ecclesia in Philadelphia write: "Now this is saying the True, the Holy One, Who has the key of David, and Who is opening and no one shall be locking, and locking and no one shall be opening:"

¹ And the fifth messenger trumpets. And I perceived a star fallen out of heaven into the earth. And to him was given the key of the well of the submerged chaos.

⁶ These have authority to lock heaven, that there may be no shower of rain for the days of their prophecy. And they have authority over the waters to be turning them into blood, and to smite the land with every calamity, as often as they will."

¹ And I perceived a messenger descending out of heaven, having the key of the submerged chaos and a large chain in his hand." ² And he lays hold of the dragon, the ancient serpent, who is the Adversary and Satan, and binds him a thousand years." ³ And he casts him into the submerged chaos and locks it, and seals it over him (lest he should still be deceiving the nations) until the thousand years should be finished. After these things he must be loosed a little time."

⁴ And Jesus is saying to him, "See that you may tell it to no one, but go away; show yourself to the priest and bring the approach present which Moses bids, for a testimony to them."

⁹ And, at their descending out of the mountain, Jesus directs them, saying, "Now you may tell no one of the vision till the Son of Mankind may be roused from among the dead."

³⁰ And He warns them, that they may be telling no one about Him."

⁹ And at their descending from the mountain, He cautions them that they should be relating to no one what they perceived, except whenever the Son of Mankind may be rising from among the dead."

²¹ Now He, warning them, charges them to tell no one this,

³⁶ And at the coming of the voice, Jesus was found alone. And they hush, and to no one in those days do they report anything of what they have seen."

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")."

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."

³⁶ Let all the house of Israel know certainly, then, that God makes Him Lord as well as Christ - this Jesus Whom you crucify!"

²² Who is the liar, if not he who is denying, saying that "Jesus in not the Christ"? This one is the antichrist, who is disowning the Father and the Son."

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.

¹ And to the sons of Aaron [are] their courses:sons of Aaron [are] Nadab, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar, ² and Nadab dies, and Abihu, in the presence of their father, and they had no sons, and Eleazar and Ithamar act as priests. ³ And David distributes them, and Zadok of the sons of Eleazar, and Ahimelech of the sons of Ithamar, according to their office in their service;" ⁴ and there are found of the sons of Eleazar more for heads of the mighty men than of the sons of Ithamar; and they distribute them:Of the sons of Eleazar, heads for a house of fathers, sixteen; and of the sons of Ithamar, for a house of their fathers, eight. ⁵ And they distribute them, by lots, one with another, for princes of the sanctuary, and princes of Elohim, have been of the sons of Eleazar, and of the sons of Ithamar. ⁶ And Shemaiah son of Nethaneel the scribe, of the Levites, writes them before the king and the princes, and Zadok the priest, and Ahimelech son of Abiathar, and heads of the fathers, for priests and for Levites:one house of a father being taken possession of for Eleazar, and one being taken possession of for Ithamar. ⁷ And the first lot goes out for Jehoiarib, for Jedaiah the second, ⁸ for Harim the third, for Seorim the fourth, ⁹ for Malchijah the fifth, for Mijamin the sixth, ¹⁰ for Hakkoz the seventh, for Abijah the eighth, ¹¹ for Jeshuah the ninth, for Shecaniah the tenth, ¹² for Eliashib the eleventh, for Jakim the twelfth, ¹³ for Huppah the thirteenth, for Jeshebeab the fourteenth, ¹⁴ for Bilgah the fifteenth, for Immer the sixteenth, ¹⁵ for Hezir the seventeenth, for Aphses the eighteenth, ¹⁶ for Pethahiah the nineteenth, for Jehezekel the twentieth, ¹⁷ for Jachin the one and twentieth, for Gamul the two and twentieth, ¹⁸ for Delaiah the three and twentieth, for Maaziah the four and twentieth. ¹⁹ These [are] their appointments for their service, to come in to the house of Yahweh, according to their ordinance by the hand of Aaron their father, as Yahweh Elohim of Israel, commanded them.

⁷ Sallu, Amok, Hilkiah, Jedaiah; these [are] heads of the priests and of their brethren in the days of Jeshua.

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."

²² Now at their conspiring in Galilee, Jesus said to them, "The Son of Mankind is about to be given up into the hands of men, ²³ and they will be killing Him, and the third day He will be roused.And they were tremendously sorry."

¹⁷ Now Jesus, being about to go up into Jerusalem, took aside the twelve disciples privately. And on the road He said to them:" ¹⁸ Lo! we are going up into Jerusalem, and the Son of Mankind will be given up to the chief priests and scribes, and they will be condemning Him to death." ¹⁹ And they will be giving Him up to the nations, to scoff at and scourge and crucify. And the third day He will be roused."

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

² You are aware that after two days the Passover is coming, and the Son of Mankind is being given up to be crucified."

⁴⁷ And at His still speaking, lo! Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a vast throng with swords and cudgels, from the chief priests and elders of the people."

¹² And at His being accused by the chief priests and the elders, He answers nothing."

⁶³ saying, "Lord, we are reminded that that deceiver said while still living, 'After three days shall I be roused.'"

³¹ And He begins to teach them that the Son of Mankind must be suffering much and be rejected by the elders and the chief priests and the scribes, and be killed and after three days rise."

³¹ For He taught His disciples and said to them that "The Son of Mankind is being given up into the hands of men, and they will be killing Him. And, being killed, after three days He will be rising." ³² Yet they were ignorant of the declaration, and they feared to inquire of Him."

³² Now they were on the road, going up into Jerusalem, and Jesus was preceding them. And they were awe-struck, yet those following feared. And, again taking the twelve aside, He begins to tell them what is about to be befalling Him, ³³ Lo! we are going up into Jerusalem, and the Son of Mankind will be given up to the chief priests and the scribes, and they will be condemning Him to death, and will be giving Him up to the men of the nations, ³⁴ and will be scoffing at Him, and spitting on Him, and scourging Him, and killing Him, and after three days He will be rising."

²² saying that "The Son of Mankind must be suffering much, and be rejected by the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and the third day be roused." ²³ Now He said to all, "If anyone is wanting to come after Me, let him disown himself and pick up his cross daily and follow Me." ²⁴ For whosoever may be wanting to save his soul, shall be destroying it, yet whoever should be destroying his soul on My account, he shall be saving it." ²⁵ For what does a man benefit, gaining the whole world, yet destroying or forfeiting himself? ²⁶ For whoever may be ashamed of Me and of My words, of this one the Son of Mankind shall be ashamed, whenever He may be coming in the glory of Him and of the Father and of the holy messengers." ²⁷ Now I am saying to you, truly there are some of those standing here who under no circumstances should be tasting death till they should be perceiving the kingdom of God."

³¹ who, being seen in the glory, spoke of His exodus, which He was about to be completing in Jerusalem."

⁴⁴ You be laying up these sayings in your ears, for the Son of Mankind is about to be given up into the hands of men." ⁴⁵ Yet they were ignorant of this declaration, and it was screened from them, that they may not be sensing it, and they feared to ask Him concerning this declaration."

²⁵ Yet first He must be suffering many things and be rejected by this generation.

³¹ Now, taking aside the twelve, He said to them, "Lo! we are going up into Jerusalem, and all will be accomplished as to the Son of Mankind that is written through the prophets." ³² For He will be given up to the nations and will be scoffed at and outraged and spat upon, ³³ and, scourging Him, they will be killing Him. And the third day He will be rising." ³⁴ And they understand none of these things, and this declaration was hid from them, and they knew not what was said."

⁶ He is not here, but was roused. Be reminded how He speaks to you, being still in Galilee, ⁷ saying that 'The Son of Mankind must be given up into the hands of men, sinners, and be crucified, and the third day rise.'"

⁴⁶ and said to them that "Thus it is written, and thus must the Christ be suffering and rise from among the dead the third day,

¹⁹ Jesus answered and said to them, "Raze this temple, and in three days I will raise it up." ²⁰ The Jews, then, said, "In forty and six years was this temple built, and you will be raising it up in three days!" ²¹ Yet He said it concerning the temple of His body.

²³ This One, given up in the specific counsel and foreknowledge of God, you, gibbeting by the hand of the lawless, assassinate, ²⁴ Whom God raises, loosing the pangs of death, forasmuch as it was not possible for Him to be held by it." ²⁵ For David is saying to Him, I saw the Lord before me continually, Seeing that He is at my right hand, that I may not be shaken." ²⁶ Therefore gladdened was my heart, And exultant my tongue. Now, still my flesh also shall be tenting in expectation, ²⁷ For Thou wilt not be forsaking my soul in the unseen, Nor wilt Thou be giving Thy Benign One to be acquainted with decay." ²⁸ Thou makest known to me the paths of life. Thou wilt be filling me with gladness with Thy face.' ²⁹ Men! Brethren! Allow me to say to you with boldness concerning the patriarch David, that he deceases also and was entombed, and his tomb is among us until this day." ³⁰ Being, then, inherently, a prophet, and having perceived that God swears to him with an oath, out of the fruit of his loin to seat One on his throne, ³¹ perceiving this before, he speaks concerning the resurrection of the Christ, that He was neither forsaken in the unseen, nor was His flesh acquainted with decay." ³² This Jesus God raises, of Whom we all are witnesses."

³ For I give over to you among the first what also I accepted, that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures, ⁴ and that He was entombed, and that He has been roused the third day according to the scriptures,

¹³ And the messenger who has gone to call Micaiah has spoken unto him, saying, `Lo, I pray you, the words of the prophets, with one mouth, [are] good towards the king; let it be, I pray you, your word as the word of one of them--and you have spoken good..

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

⁵¹ And lo! one of those with Jesus, stretching out his hand, pulls his sword, and smiting the slave of the chief priest, amputates his ear." ⁵² Then Jesus is saying to him, "Turn away your sword into its place, for all those taking the sword, by the sword shall perish." ⁵³ Or are you supposing that I am not able to entreat My Father, and at present He will station by My side more than twelve legions of messengers?

³² And with boldness spoke He the word. And, taking Him to him, Peter begins to rebuke Him."

⁶ He is coming, then, to Simon Peter. And he is saying to Him, "Lord, Thou art washing my feet!" ⁷ Jesus answered and said to him, "What I am doing you are not aware at present, yet you will know after these things." ⁸ Peter is saying to Him, "Under no circumstances shouldst Thou be washing my feet for the eon!Jesus answered him, "If ever I should not be washing you, you are having no part with Me."

¹¹ And coming to us and picking up Paul's girdle, binding his own feet and hands, he said, "Now this the holy spirit is saying, 'The man whose girdle this is, shall the Jews in Jerusalem be binding thus, and they shall be giving him over into the hands of the nations.'" ¹² Now as we hear these things, both we and those in the place entreated him not to go up to Jerusalem." ¹³ Then Paul answered and said, "What are you doing, lamenting and unnerving my heart? For I hold myself in readiness, not only to be bound, but to die also in Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus."

¹ And the serpent comes to be the craftiest of all field life which was made by Yahweh Elohim. And saying is the serpent to the woman, "Indeed! Then the Elohim says, 'Not eat shall you from any tree of the garden'? ² And saying is the woman to the serpent, "From the fruit of the trees of the garden we are eating, ³ yet from the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, the Elohim says, `Not eat of it shall you, and not touch it shall you, lest you be dying.. ⁴ And saying is the serpent to the woman, "Not to die shall you be dying, ⁵ for the Elohim knows that, in the day you eat of it, unclosed shall be your eyes, and you become as the Elohim, knowing good and evil. ⁶ And seeing is the woman that the tree is good for food, and that it brings a yearning to the eyes, and is to be coveted as the tree to make one intelligent. And taking is she of its fruit and is eating, and she is giving, moreover, to her husband with her, and they are eating."

¹⁷ And to the human He says, "As you hearken to the voice of your wife, and are eating from the tree of which alone I instruct you, saying not eat shall you from it, cursed shall be the ground when you serve it, for your sakes. In grief shall you eat of it all the days of your lives.

²² And David said, `What--to me and to you, O sons of Zeruiah, that you are to me to-day for an adversary? to-day is any man put to death in Israel? for have I not known that to-day I [am] king over Israel?.

¹ And there stands up an adversary against Israel, and persuades David to number Israel,

¹⁴ And if you trust Him, He comes to be for a Sanctuary, and not for a Stone to strike, nor for a Rock to stumble. Yet to the two houses of Jacob He is for a Snare, and for a Trap to the dwellers of Jerusalem."

¹ Then He is showing me Joshua, the great priest, standing before the messenger of Yahweh, and Satan, standing at his right, for his adversary." ² And Yahweh is saying to Satan, Yahweh is rebuking you, Satan. And Yahweh Who is choosing Jerusalem is rebuking you. Is not this wooden poker being rescued from the fire?

¹⁰ Then Jesus is saying to him, "Go away, Satan, for it is written,
The Lord your God shall you be worshiping,
And to Him only shall you be offering divine service."

⁷ Woe to the world because of snares! For it is a necessity for snares to be coming. Moreover, woe to that man through whom the snare is coming!"

³³ Now Jesus, being turned about and perceiving His disciples, rebukes Peter and is saying, "Go behind Me, satan! for you are not disposed to that which is of God but that which is of men."

⁸ And answering, Jesus said to Him, "Go away behind Me, Satan! It is written, The Lord your God shall you be worshiping, and to Him only shall you be offering divine service."

⁷⁰ Jesus answered and said to them, "Do not I choose you, the twelve, and one of you is an adversary?

⁵ For those who are in accord with flesh are disposed to that which is of the flesh, yet those who are in accord with spirit to that which is of the spirit." ⁶ For the disposition of the flesh is death, yet the disposition of the spirit is life and peace, ⁷ because the disposition of the flesh is enmity to God, for it is not subject to the law of God, for neither is it able." ⁸ Now those who are in flesh are not able to please God.

¹³ By no means, then, should we still be judging one another, but rather decide this, not to place a stumbling block for a brother, or a snare."

²¹ It is ideal not to be eating meat, nor yet to be drinking wine, nor yet to do aught by which your brother is stumbling, or is being snared or weakened."

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." ¹⁵ Now he who is spiritual is, indeed, examining all, yet he is being examined by no one."

¹⁴ And no marvel, for Satan himself is being transfigured into a messenger of light. " ¹⁵ It is no great thing, then, if his servants also are being transfigured as dispensers of righteousness - whose consummation shall be according to their acts. "

¹⁹ whose consummation is destruction, whose god is their bowels, and whose glory is in their shame, who to the terrestial are disposed."

² Be disposed to that which is above, not to that on the earth,

³⁸ And he who is not taking his cross and following after Me is not worthy of Me.

³² Now, coming out, they found a Cyrenian man named Simon. This man they conscript, that he should be picking up His cross."

³⁴ And, calling the throng to Him, together with His disciples, He said to them, "If anyone is wanting to come after Me, let him renounce himself and pick up his cross and follow Me."

²¹ Now Jesus, looking at him, loves him, and said to him, "Still one thing you are wanting. Go. Whatever you have, sell, and be giving to the poor, and you will be having treasure in heaven. And hither! Follow Me, picking up the cross."

²¹ And they are conscripting a certain Simon, a Cyrenian, passing along, coming from a field, the father of Alexander and Rufus, that he should be picking up His cross."

²⁷ And anyone who is not bearing his cross and coming after Me, can not be My disciple. "

²⁶ And as they led Him away, getting hold of a certain Simon, a Cyrenian, coming from the field, they place the cross on him to carry behind Jesus."

¹⁷ They took Jesus along, then, and led Him away. And, bearing the cross Himself, He came out to what is termed a "Skull's Place,which is termed, in Hebrew, "Golgotha,

²² establishing the souls of the disciples, besides entreating them to remain in the faith and saying that, "Through many afflictions must we be entering into the kingdom of God."

²⁴ I am now rejoicing in my sufferings for you, and am filling up in my flesh, in His stead, the deficiencies of the afflictions of Christ, for His body, which is the ecclesia"

³ No one is to be swayed by these afflictions, for you yourselves are aware that we are located for this."

¹² And all who are wanting to live devoutly in Christ Jesus shall be persecuted.

²⁴ By faith Moses, becoming great, disowns the term "son of Pharaoh's daughter, ²⁵ preferring rather to be maltreated with the people of God than to have a temporary enjoyment of sin, ²⁶ deeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures of Egypt, for he looked away to the reward."

¹ Christ, then, having suffered for our sakes in flesh, you also arm yourselves with the same thought, for he who is suffering in flesh has ceased his sins, ² 2 by no means still to spend the rest of his lifetime in the flesh in human desires, but in the will of God."

¹⁴ For if you keep silence, yea silence in this crisis, sustentation and rescue shall stand up for the Jews from another place; but you and your father's house, you shall perish. And who is there knowing whether it was for a crisis like this that you have attained to the royal position?

¹⁶ Go, collect together all the Jews who are to be found in Susa, and fast on my behalf. Do not eat and do not drink for three days, night and day. I too with my maidens shall fast likewise. In this way I shall come in to the king, even though it is not according to the edict. And if I should perish, I shall perish.

³⁹ He who is finding his soul will be destroying it, and he who destroys his soul on My account will be finding it."

³⁵ For whosoever may be wanting to save his soul will be destroying it, yet whoever shall be destroying his soul on account of Me and of the evangel will be saving it."

³³ Whosoever should be seeking to procure his soul will be destroying it, yet whoever should be destroying it will cause it to live."

²⁵ He who is fond of his soul is destroying it, and he who is hating his soul in this world, shall be guarding it for life eonian."

²³ more than that the holy spirit, city by city, certifies to me, saying that bonds and afflictions are remaining for me." ²⁴ But of nothing have I a word, nor yet am I making my soul precious to myself, till I should be perfecting my career and the dispensation which I got from the Lord Jesus, to certify the evangel of the grace of God."

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."

⁴ Then Satan answered Yahweh and said, Skin in behalf of skin, for all that a man has would he give in behalf of his soul.

⁸ For what expectation can the polluted have when he is clipped off, When Eloah eases away his soul?

⁷ Surely it shall not ransom, yea ransom a man; Neither shall one pay to Elohim his sheltering ransom, ⁸ {For the ransom of his soul is too precious a price, And he shuns it for the eon{"

⁸ Again the Adversary takes Him along into a very high mountain, and is showing Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. ⁹ And he said to Him, "All these to you will I be giving, if ever, falling down, you should be worshiping me."

²⁹ Now, if your right eye is snaring you, wrench it out and cast it from you, for it is expedient for you that one of your members should perish and not your whole body be cast into Gehenna.

³⁶ For what is it benefiting a man to gain the whole world and forfeit his soul? ³⁷ For what may a man give in exchange for his soul?

²⁵ For what does a man benefit, gaining the whole world, yet destroying or forfeiting himself?

²⁰ Yet God said to him, 'Imprudent one! In this night your soul are they demanding from you. Now, what you make ready, whose will it be?'"

²⁵ Now Abraham said, 'Child, be reminded that you got your good things in your life, and Lazarus likewise evil things. Yet now here he is being consoled, yet you are in pain."

¹¹ For the contrivance of a human, He shall repay it to him, And according to man's path, He shall provide it to him.

¹² And to You, O Yahweh belongs benignity, For You Yourself shall pay each man according to his deeds."

¹² If you say, Behold, we know nothing about this, Does not He Who regulates hearts detect it, And He Who preserves your soul know it, Who will render to a man according to his deeds?

¹⁰ Say to the righteous that good is his portion, for the fruit of their actions are they eating." ¹¹ Alack to the wicked one; evil is his portion, for the requital of his hands is returning to him."

¹⁰ I Yahweh do search the heart, try the reins, Even to give to each according to his way, According to the fruit of his doings."

¹⁹ Great in counsel, and mighty in act, in that Your eyes are open on all the ways of the sons of Adam, to give to each according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings:"

²⁷ The king does become a mourner, And a prince puts on desolation, And the hands of the people of the land are troubled, From their own way I deal with them, And with their own judgments I judge them, And they have known that I [am] Yahweh!'"

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."

⁵ And the ravine of My mountains is stopped up for the ravine of the mountains shall touch to Azal. And it is stopped up just as it was stopped up from before the quake in the days of Uzziah, king of Judah. And Yahweh, my Elohim, shall come, and all the saints with Him."

⁴¹ He who is receiving a prophet in the name of a prophet shall be obtaining a prophet's wages. And he who is receiving a just man in the name of a just man shall be obtaining a just man's wages. ⁴² And whoever should be giving one of these little ones only a cool cup to drink, in the name of a disciple, verily, I am saying to you, by no means should he be losing his wages."

⁴⁹ Thus shall it be in the conclusion of the eon. The messengers will be coming out and they will be severing the wicked from the midst of the just.

³⁰ And then shall appear the sign of the Son of Mankind in heaven, and then all the tribes of the land shall grieve, and they shall see the Son of Mankind coming on the clouds of heaven with power and much glory."

⁶⁴ Saying to him is Jesus, "You say it! Moreover, I am saying to you, Henceforth you shall be seeing the Son of Mankind sitting at the right hand of power and coming on the clouds of heaven."

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."

²⁶ For whoever may be ashamed of Me and of My words, of this one the Son of Mankind shall be ashamed, whenever He may be coming in the glory of Him and of the Father and of the holy messengers."

²⁷ And then they shall be seeing the Son of Mankind coming in a cloud with power and much glory.

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

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."

⁶ Who will be paying each one in accord with his acts:

¹² Consequently, then, each of us shall be giving account concerning himself to God."

⁸ Now food will not give us a standing with God, neither, if we should not be eating are we in want, nor if we should be eating are we cloyed."

¹⁰ For all of us must be manifested in front of the dais of Christ, that each should be requited for that which he puts into practice through the body, whether good or bad."

⁸ being aware that, whatsoever good each one should be doing, for this he will be requited by the Lord, whether slave or free."

¹⁰ and to be waiting for His Son out of the heavens, Whom He rouses from among the dead, Jesus, our Rescuer out of the coming indignation."

¹⁶ for the Lord Himself will be descending from heaven with a shout of command, with the voice of the Chief Messenger, and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ shall be rising first,

⁷ and to you who are being afflicted, ease, with us, at the unveiling of the Lord Jesus from heaven with His powerful messengers, ⁸ in flaming fire, dealing out vengeance to those who are not acquainted with God and those who are not obeying the evangel of our Lord Jesus Christ" ⁹ who shall incur the justice of eonian extermination from the face of the Lord, and from the glory of His strength" ¹⁰ whenever He may be coming to be glorified in His saints and to be marveled at in all who believe (seeing that our testimony to you was believed) in that day.

¹⁷ And if you are invoking the Father, Who is judging impartially according to each one's work, you may behave, for the time of your sojourn, with fear,

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

⁷ Lo! He is coming with clouds, and every eye shall be seeing Him-those, also, who stab Him-and all the tribes of the land shall be grieving over Him. Yea! Amen!"

¹² And I perceived the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne. And the scrolls were opened. And another scroll was opened which is the scroll of life. And the dead were judged by that which is written in the scrolls in accord with their acts."

¹² Lo! I am coming swiftly, and My wage is with Me, to pay each one as his work is." ¹³ I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Origin and the Consummation." ¹⁴ Happy are those who are rinsing their robes, that it will be their license to the log of life, and they may be entering the portals into the city." ¹⁵ Outside are curs, and enchanters, and paramours, and murderers, and idolaters, and everyone fabricating and fondling falsehood."

²³ Now, whenever they may be persecuting you in this city, flee into a different one, for, verily, I am saying to you, Under no circumstances should you be finishing the cities of Israel till the Son of Mankind may be coming."

³ Now at His sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately, saying, "Tell us, when will these things be? And what is the sign of Thy presence and of the conclusion of the eon?

²⁷ For even as the lightning is coming out from the east and is appearing as far as the west, thus shall be the presence of the Son of Mankind." ²⁸ Wheresoever the corpse may be, there will the vultures be gathered." ²⁹ Now immediately after the affliction of those days the sun shall be darkened and the moon shall not be giving her beams, and the stars shall be falling from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken." ³⁰ And then shall appear the sign of the Son of Mankind in heaven, and then all the tribes of the land shall grieve, and they shall see the Son of Mankind coming on the clouds of heaven with power and much glory." ³¹ And He shall be dispatching His messengers with a loud sounding trumpet, and they shall be assembling His chosen from the four winds, from the extremities of the heavens to their extremities."

⁴² Be watching, then, for you are not aware on what day your Lord is coming."

¹ And He said to them, "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 kingdom of God having come in power."

²⁶ And then shall they be seeing the Son of Mankind coming in clouds with much power and glory.

²⁶ And he was apprised by the holy spirit that he would not be acquainted with death ere he should be acquainted with the Lord's Christ.

²⁷ Now I am saying to you, truly there are some of those standing here who under no circumstances should be tasting death till they should be perceiving the kingdom of God."

⁸ I am saying to you that He will be doing the avenging of them swiftly. Moreover, consequently, at the coming of the Son of Mankind, will He be finding the faith on the earth?

²⁷ And then they shall be seeing the Son of Mankind coming in a cloud with power and much glory. ²⁸ Now at the beginning of these occurrences, unbend and lift up your heads, because your deliverance is drawing near."

⁵² The Jews said to Him, "Now we know that you have a demon. Abraham died, and the prophets, and you are saying, 'If ever anyone should be keeping my word, he should under no circumstances be tasting death for the eon.'"

⁹ Yet we are observing Jesus, Who has been made some bit inferior to messengers (because of the suffering of death, wreathed with glory and honor), so that in the grace of God, He should be tasting death for the sake of everyone."
