John 19 Cross References - Etheridge

¹ Then Pilatos scourged Jeshu. ² And the soldiers entwined a crown of thorns, and set it on his head; and they covered him with robes of purple, ³ and said, Hail to thee, King of the Jihudoyee! and struck him upon his cheeks. ⁴ And Pilatos came again forth, and said to them, Behold, I bring him to you forth, that you may know that I find nothing against him, nor one cause (of death). ⁵ AND Jeshu came forth, having on him the crown of thorns and the robes of purple. And Pilatos said to them, Behold the man! ⁶ But when the chief priests and officials saw him, they cried out, saying, Crucify him, crucify him! [Or, suspend him.] Pilatos saith to them, Take you him and crucify him; [Elevate him on the cross.] for I find in him no cause. ⁷ The Jihudoyee say to him, We have a law, and, according to our law, he is guilty of death, because he made himself the son of Aloha. ⁸ When Pilatos heard that word, he the more feared. ⁹ And he entered again the praetorium, and said to Jeshu, Whence art thou? But Jeshu gave him no answer. ¹⁰ Pilatos saith to him, With me speakest thou not? Knowest thou not that I have power to release thee, and power to crucify thee? ¹¹ Jeshu saith to him, Thou against ME hast no power, no not any, unless it hath been given to thee from above: wherefore he who delivered me to thee hath a sin greater than thine. ¹² On this account Pilatos willed to release him: but the Jihudoyee cried out, If this (man) thou releasest, thou art not the friend of Cesar: for whosoever maketh himself a king is the adversary of Cesar. ¹³ But when Pilatos heard that word, he brought Jeshu without, and sat down upon the tribunal in the place which is called the Pavement of Stones, but in Hebrew it is called Gaphiphtha. ¹⁴ And it was the preparation for the petscha. AND it was about the sixth hour. And he said to the Jihudoyee, Behold your king! ¹⁵ But they cried out, Take him away, take him away! crucify him, [Or, suspend him.] crucify him! Pilatos saith to them, Your king shall I crucify? The chief priests say to him, We have no king but Cesar. ¹⁶ Then delivered he him to them, that they might crucify him. And they took Jeshu, and led him forth, ¹⁷ bearing his cross to a place which is called A Skull, but in Hebrew is Gogultha: ¹⁸ there they crucified him, and with him two others, one on either side, [Or, one here, and one here.] and Jeshu in the midst. ¹⁹ And a tablet also wrote Pilatos, and set it on the cross; and it was thus written, This is Jeshu Natsroya, King of the Jihudoyee. ²⁰ And this title many of the Jihudoyee read; for nigh to the city was the place where Jeshu was crucified; and the writing was in Hebrew and Greek and Roman. ²¹ And the chief priests said to Pilatos, Do not write that he is king of the Jihudoyee, but that he said, I am the king of the Jihudoyee. ²² Pilatos saith, That which I have written, I have written. ²³ BUT the soldiers, when they had crucified Jeshu, took his vestments and made four parts, a part unto each one of the soldiers: but his tunic was without seam, from the top woven all of it. ²⁴ And they said one to another, Let us not rend it, but play for it by playing, [Naphes eleh mephas.] (to decide) whose it shall be: and fulfilled was the scripture which had said, They divided my garments among them, and upon my raiment did they cast the lot. These things did the soldiers. ²⁵ But there stood by the cross of Jeshu his mother, and the sister of his mother, and Mariam, she who was (the wife) of Cleopha, and Mariam Magdalitha. ²⁶ Jeshu seeth his mother, and that disciple whom he loved, standing; and he said to his mother, Woman, behold thy son! [Athto, ho barek.] ²⁷ and he said to that disciple, Behold thy mother! [Ho emok.] And from that hour that disciple received her to be with him. ²⁸ After these Jeshu knew that every thing would be accomplished, and, that the scripture might be fulfilled, said, I thirst.[Tshe-no.] ²⁹ And a vessel was set (there) filled with vinegar: then they filled a sponge from the vinegar, and put it upon hyssop, and offered it to his mouth. ³⁰ And when Jeshu had taken the vinegar, he said, Behold, it is finished! [Ho Mashálam.] And he bowed his head, and delivered up his spirit. ³¹ THE Jihudoyee, because it was the preparation, said, Let not these bodies remain-all-night upon the cross, because the shabath has lighted: for a great day was the day of that shabath. And they besought of Pilatos that they should break the legs of those (who had been) crucified, and take them down. ³² And the soldiers came, and brake the legs of the first, and of that other who was crucified with him; ³³ but when they came unto Jeshu, they saw that he was dead already, and they brake not his legs. ³⁴ But one of the soldiers struck him in his side with the lance, and forthwith there came out blood and water. ³⁵ And he who SAW testifieth, and the truth is his testimony; and he knoweth that the truth he hath said, that you also may believe. ³⁶ For these things were done, that the scripture might be fulfilled, which said, that, A bone shall not be broken in him. ³⁷ And again another scripture which said, They shall look upon him whom they pierced. ³⁸ After these Jauseph, he who was of Rometha, begged of Pilatos, for he was a disciple of Jeshu, but secretly for fear of the Jihudoyee, that he might take the body of Jeshu: and Pilatos permitted. And he came and took the body of Jeshu. ³⁹ And Nikodimos also came, he who at first had come to Jeshu by night, and he brought with him a condiment of myrrh and aloes, as a hundred lithreen. ⁴⁰ And they took the body of Jeshu, and wrapped it in cloths and in balsams, as is the manner of the Jihudoyee to bury. ⁴¹ Now in that place where Jeshu was crucified was a garden, and in the garden a new sepulchre where one yet had not been laid. ⁴² And they laid there Jeshu, because the shabath was coming in and the sepulchre was near.

²² Now all this was done, that what was spoken from the Lord by the prophet [by the hand of the prophet] might be fulfilled:

⁵⁰ But he, Jeshu, again cried with a high voice, and dismissed his spirit.

⁵⁴ But the centurion and those with him, who guarded Jeshu, when they saw the commotion and those (portents) which took place, feared greatly, and said, Assuredly this was the Son of Aloha. ⁵⁵ (And) many women were there, beholding from afar; those who had come after Jeshu from Galila, and had ministered unto him. ⁵⁶ One of them was Mariam Magdolitha, and Mariam the mother of Jakub and of Josi, and the mother of the sons of Zabdai. ⁵⁷ BUT when it was evening, there came a rich man from Rometha, whose name was Jauseph, who himself also was a disciple of Jeshu. ⁵⁸ This went unto Pilatos, and begged the body of Jeshu. And Pilatos commanded that the body should be given to him. ⁵⁹ And Jauseph took the body, and wound it round in a cloth of pure linen, ⁶⁰ and laid it in a new house of burial of his own, which was hewn out in the rock.

⁶⁰ and laid it in a new house of burial of his own, which was hewn out in the rock.

⁶⁴ Command therefore that they watch the sepulchre till (after) the third of the days; lest his disciples come, and steal him away by night, and tell the people that from the house of the dead he has risen, and the last delusion be worse than the first. ⁶⁵ Pilatos saith to them, Ye have guards; go, watch diligently, as ye know how. ⁶⁶ So they went, and set a watch (about) the sepulchre, and sealed the stone along with the guards.

³⁴ And looking upon those who sat with him, he said, Behold my mother, and behold my brethren:

¹⁶ But when Herodes heard, he said, It is Juchanon whom I beheaded; he hath risen from [The house of the dead.] among the dead. ¹⁷ For Herodes had sent and had taken Juchanon, and had cast him into the house of the bound, on account of Herodia, wife of Philipos his brother, whom he had taken. ¹⁸ For Juchanon had said to Herodes, It is not lawful to thee to take the wife of thy brother. ¹⁹ But Herodia herself was adverse to him, and wished to kill him, but she could not. ²⁰ For Herodes feared Juchanon, because he knew that he was a man righteous and holy, and he protected him, and was many (times) hearing him, doing, and hearing him favourably. ²¹ And there was a notable day when Herodes, in the house of his nativity, (b'beth yaldeh,) made a feast to his chiefs and kiliarchs [Kiliarkee.] and the heads of Galila; ²² and the daughter of Herodia came in (and) danced; and she pleased Herodes and them who reclined with him. And the king said to the damsel, Ask of me whatever thou wilt, and I will give to thee. ²³ And he sware to her, Whatever thou shalt ask (of) me, I will give thee, unto the dividing of my kingdom. ²⁴ Then went she out and said to her mother, What shall I ask of him? She saith to her, The head of Juchanon the Baptizer. ²⁵ And immediately she entered with solicitude unto the king, and saith to him, I will this hour that thou give me, upon a dish, the head of Juchanon the Baptizer. ²⁶ And greatly grieved was the king; but, for the sake of the oath, and the sake of the guests,[Recliners.] he could not deprive [Or, defraud.] her.

²¹ And Jeshu beheld him and loved him, and said to him, One thing is wanting to thee: go, sell all whatever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have a treasure in heaven: and take up thy cross and come after me.

³³ Behold, we go up to Urishlem; and the Son of man (will be) betrayed to the chief priests, and to the Sophree; and they shall condemn him to the death, and shall deliver him to the Gentiles; ³⁴ and shall mock him, and scourge him, and spit in his face, and kill him: and the third day he shall arise.

⁴⁴ And the traitor who betrayed had given to them a sign, and said, He whom I shall kiss is He: take him carefully and lead him.

⁶¹ But Jeshu was silent, and answered him nothing. And again the chief of the priests demanded, and said, Art thou the Meshicha, the Son of the Blessed?[Meshicha Bareh dambarka.] ⁶² And he, Jeshu, said to him, I am: and you shall see the Son of man sitting at the right hand of the Power, and coming upon the clouds of heaven. ⁶³ Then the chief of the priests tore his robe, and said, Why now seek we witnesses? ⁶⁴ Behold, from his own lips you have heard the blasphemy: how is it seen by you? And they all judged that he was guilty of death.

³ And the chief priests accused him of many (things): ⁴ but he, Pilatos, asked him again and said to him, Returnest thou not an answer? see how many are witnessing against thee. ⁵ But he, Jeshu, did not give any answer; so that Pilatos admired.

¹² But he, Pilatos, said to them, What then will you that I do to this, whom ye call King of the Jihudoyee? ¹³ And they again cried,[Or, the more cried.] Crucify him! ¹⁴ Pilatos said to them, Why? what evil hath he done? And they the more exceedingly cried, Crucify him. ¹⁵ But Pilatos was willing to serve the will of the people, and released to them Bar-aba, and delivered up to them Jeshu, scourged, to be crucified.

¹⁵ But Pilatos was willing to serve the will of the people, and released to them Bar-aba, and delivered up to them Jeshu, scourged, to be crucified. ¹⁶ And the soldiers led him into the court which is the praetorium, and called the whole band; ¹⁷ and they robed him in purple, and twisted and set upon him a crown of thorns, ¹⁸ and they began to salute him, Hail, King of the Jihudoyee! ¹⁹ and they struck him upon the head with a cane, and spat in his face, and kneeled upon their knees and worshipped him. ²⁰ And when they had mocked him, they stripped him of the purple, and clothed him with his own vestments, and led him forth to crucify him. ²¹ AND they constrained one who was passing, Shemun Kurinoia, who was coming from the field, the father of Alexander and of Rufus, to bear his cross. ²² And they brought him to Gogultha, a place which is interpreted A skull. ²³ And they gave him to drink wine which was mixed with myrrh; but he would not receive. ²⁴ And when they had crucified him, they parted his garments, and cast for them lots who should take them.

³² The Meshicha King of Isroel, let him descend now from the cross, that we may see and believe on him; and they also who were crucified with him reviled him. ³³ AND when it was the sixth hour, there was darkness over all the land until the ninth hour. ³⁴ And in the ninth hour Jeshu cried with a high voice and said, Il, Il, Lamona Shabaktoni! Which is, Alohi! Alohi! [My God, my God!] why hast thou forsaken me?

³⁶ but one ran and filled a sponge with vinegar, and bound it on a rod that he might drink. And they said, Let alone, we will see if Elia cometh to take him down. ³⁷ But he, Jeshu, cried with a high voice, and completed:

³⁹ But when that centurion who stood near him saw that he cried thus, and ended, (he) said, Assuredly this man was the Son of Aloha. ⁴⁰ And there were women from afar who were beholding; Mariam Magdalitha, and Mariam mother of Jacub the less and of Josi, and Shaloom; ⁴¹ those who, when he was in Galila, adhered to him, and ministered to him, and many others who went up with him to Urishlem. ⁴² AND when it was evening of the preparation which is before the shabath,

⁴² AND when it was evening of the preparation which is before the shabath, ⁴³ came Jauseph, he who was from Rometha, an honourable counsellor, who also himself waited for the kingdom of Aloha. And he took courage, and went in to Pilatos and requested the body of Jeshu. ⁴⁴ But Pilatos wondered if he were now dead; and he called the centurion and asked him whether before the time he was dead: ⁴⁵ and when he had learned, he gave the body to Jauseph. ⁴⁶ And Jauseph bought linen, and took him down and wrapped him in it, and laid him in a sepulchre which was hewn in the rock, and rolled a stone against the door of the sepulchre. ⁴⁷ But Mariam Magdalitha and Mariam, she who was (the mother) of Josi, beheld where he was laid.

¹ And when the shabath had passed Mariam Magdalitha and Mariam, (the mother) of Jacub and Shaloom, bought aromatics, and came to anoint him.

⁹ But in the morning of the first day of the week he arose, and was first seen by Mariam Magdalitha, she who had seven devils cast out from her.

²⁸ And the angel entered to her, and said to her, Peace to thee, full of grace! our Lord is with thee, thou blessed among women!

³⁵ And through thine own soul shall pass a spear, that may be revealed the reasonings of the hearts of many.

⁴¹ A certain creditor [Lord of debt.] had two debtors: the one owed him five hundred dinoree, and the other fifty dinoree. ⁴² And when they had nothing to pay, he forgave them both. Which, therefore, of them the most would love him?

² and those women who had been healed from infirmities and from evil spirits, Mariam who was called Magdalitha, she from whom he had cast out seven devils,

²³ And he said before all, Whoever willeth to come after me, must deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and come after me.

³¹ who appeared in glory; but they spake concerning his going forth which should be accomplished at Urishlem.

¹¹ Even the dust which cleaveth to our feet from your city we shake off against you; nevertheless know this, that hath come nigh upon you the kingdom of Aloha. ¹² I tell you that for Sadum it shall be more tolerable in that day than for that city. ¹³ Woe to thee, Kurazin! woe to thee, Bethtsaida! for if in Tsur and Tsaidon had been wrought the miracles which were wrought in you, now long since in sackcloth and in ashes would they have repented. ¹⁴ Nevertheless for Tsur and for Tsaidon it shall be more tolerable in the day of the judgment, than for you.

⁵ but I will show you whom you shall fear; [Or, of whom you shall be fearful, of Him, &c.] Him who, after he hath killed, hath power to cast into gihana, yes, I say to you, Fear this (one).

⁴⁷ And that servant who knew the will of his lord, and prepared not himself according to his will, shall be beaten with many. ⁴⁸ But he who knew not, and did that which was worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For every one to whom much is given, much will be required from him; and to whom much is committed, the more will they require at his hand.

⁵⁰ and I have a baptism (wherewith) to be baptized, and greatly am I pressed till it be completed.

²⁷ And whoever doth not take up his cross and come after me, a disciple he cannot be of mine.

³¹ AND Jeshu took the twelve, and said to them, Behold, we go up to Urishlem, and shall be fulfilled all (things) that are written in the prophets concerning the Son of man.

³³ and will scourge him, and maltreat him, and kill him; and the third day he shall arise.

²¹ Nevertheless, the hand of him who betrayeth me is on the table. ²² And the Son of man goeth, as he was set apart: [Or, separated.] nevertheless woe to that man by whom he is betrayed! ²³ And they began to inquire among themselves, who it was of them who this should do.

³⁷ For I tell you also, that what is written must be fulfilled in me, that with the transgressors he was numbered: for all which concerns me must be accomplished.

⁵³ Every day with you have I been in the temple, and you did not stretch forth upon me (your) hands; but this is your hour and the power of darkness.

² And they began to accuse him, saying, We have found this who deludeth our people, and forbiddeth that tribute [Or, head-silver.] unto Caesar we should give, saying of himself that he is the King Meshicha. ³ But Pilatos asked him, and said to him, Art thou the king of the Jihudoyee? He saith to him, Thou hast said. ⁴ And Pilatos said to the chief priests and to the assembly, I find no occasion against this man.

⁴ And Pilatos said to the chief priests and to the assembly, I find no occasion against this man. ⁵ But they cried out and said, He commoveth our people while he teacheth throughout all Jihud, beginning from Galila unto this place.

¹¹ Then Herodes and his soldiers treated him as a fool; [Shoteh hu.] and when he had derided him, he dressed him in a robe of crimson, and sent him to Pilatos.

¹⁶ I will therefore chastise [Or, admonish.] him, and dismiss him.

¹⁸ But all the multitude cried out, saying, Take this, and release to us Baraba;

²³ But they were urgent with a high voice, demanding that they might crucify him; and theirs and the voices of the high priests prevailed. ²⁴ And Pilatos commanded that their requirement should be done. ²⁵ And he released to them him who, for insurrection and murder, had been thrown into the house of the chained, whom they had asked: but Jeshu he delivered to their will. ²⁶ AND as they led him away, they laid hold on Shemun Kurinoya, who was coming from the country, and they laid on him the cross, that he might bear (it) after Jeshu.

³² And there went with him two others, workers of evil, to be put to death. ³³ And when they came to a certain place called Karkaphtha, [The Skull.]there they crucified him, and those workers of evil, one on his right hand, and one on his left.

³³ And when they came to a certain place called Karkaphtha, [The Skull.]there they crucified him, and those workers of evil, one on his right hand, and one on his left. ³⁴ BUT Jeshu himself said, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. [Aba shebuk lehun, lo gir yodin mono obdin.] And they divided his garments, and cast for them lots.

³⁴ BUT Jeshu himself said, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. [Aba shebuk lehun, lo gir yodin mono obdin.] And they divided his garments, and cast for them lots.

³⁶ And the soldiers also, deriding him, approaching him, and offering to him vinegar,

³⁸ And there was also an inscription which was written over him in Greek and Roman and Hebrew, [Javanoith, Rumoith, Ebroith.] THIS IS THE KING OF THE JIHUDOYEE. ³⁹ And one of those workers of evil who were hanged with him, blasphemed against him, saying, If thou art the Meshicha, deliver thyself, and deliver us also. ⁴⁰ And his companion rebuked him, and said to him, Dost thou not fear (even) Aloha? for thou also art in this judgment. ⁴¹ And we righteously, forasmuch as we have been deserving, and as we are punished for that which we have done; but this hath done nothing that is abominable.

⁴¹ And we righteously, forasmuch as we have been deserving, and as we are punished for that which we have done; but this hath done nothing that is abominable. ⁴² And he said to Jeshu, Remember me, my Lord, when thou art come into thy kingdom! ⁴³ Jeshu saith to him, Amen I say to thee, That to-day with me thou shalt be in Paradise. [Amin omar-no lok, d'yaumono ami tehve be-paradiso.]

⁴⁶ And Jeshu cried with a high voice, and said, My Father, in thy hands I place my spirit. [Abi, b'idaïk soëm-no ruchi.] This he said, and completed. ⁴⁷ But when the centurion saw what was done, he glorified Aloha, saying, Assuredly this was a just man.

⁴⁹ And there were standing afar off all the acquaintances of Jeshu, and those women who came with him from Galila; and they saw these things. ⁵⁰ BUT a certain man, whose name was Jauseph, a senator from Rometha, a city of Jehud, a man (who) was good and just: ⁵¹ (this had not consented to the counsel and deed of them; and he was waiting for the kingdom of Aloha:) ⁵² this approached Pilatos, and begged the body of Jeshu; ⁵³ and he took it down, and wrapped it in a cloth of linen, and laid it in a hewn sepulchre, in which no one had hitherto been laid.

¹² But Shemun arose, and ran to the sepulchre, and, looking in, he saw the linen clothes lying apart; and he went away, wondering in himself at what was done.

¹⁸ And one of them answered, whose name was Kleopha, and said to him, Art thou only a stranger from Urishlem, who knowest not what hath been done in it in these days?

¹¹ He came to his own, and his own received him not.

²⁹ AND the day after, Juchanon seeth Jeshu, who was coming to him; and he said, Behold the Lamb of Aloha, who beareth the sin of the world!

⁴⁵ Philipos found Nathanael, and said to him, Him of whom Musha in the law, and the prophets, did write we have found, (and) that Jeshu (is) he, the son of Jauseph who is from Natsrath. ⁴⁶ Saith to him Nathanael, From Natsrath can any good thing be? Philipos saith to him, Come and see.

⁴⁹ Nathanael answered and said to him, Rabi, thou art the Son of Aloha himself, thou art the very King of Isroel.

⁴ Jeshu saith to her, What (is it) to me and to thee, woman? Not yet hath come mine hour.

¹ But there was one of the Pharishee whose name was Nikodimos, a ruler of the Jihudoyee: ² this came to Jeshu in the night, and said to him, Rabi, we know that from Aloha thou art sent a teacher; for no man can these signs perform which thou doest, unless Aloha be with him. ³ Jeshu answered and said to him, Amen, amen, I say to thee, Except a man be born anew, he cannot see the kingdom of Aloha. ⁴ Nikodimos said to him, How can an old man be born? Who can again the womb of his mother the second time enter, and be born? ⁵ Jeshu answered and said to him, Amen, amen, I say to thee, That if a man be not born of waters and the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of Aloha. ⁶ Whatever is born of the flesh, is flesh; and whatever is born of the Spirit, is spirit. ⁷ Wonder not that I have said to thee, that it behoves you to be born anew. ⁸ The wind bloweth where she willeth,* and her voice thou hearest; but thou knowest not whence she cometh, nor whither she goeth: so is every man who is born of the Spirit. [* Rucho signifies either the Spirit, or the wind; as, in like manner, does the corresponding Greek word wneuma and hence most of the versions of the latter have, "The Spirit bloweth where he willeth;" but in the Syriac text the verbs and the pronominal affix to the noun "voice" being in the feminine, the application of Rucho to the Holy Spirit seems not to have been contemplated. OLSHAUSEN on the Greek text has well said, "The comparison itself, and the expression, fwnhn autou, show, beyond doubt, that wneuma does not here mean the breath of the Divine Spirit, but the wind properly so called."] ⁹ Nikodimos answered and said to him, How can these things be? ¹⁰ Jeshu answered and said to him, Art thou Malphona of Israel, and these knowest not? ¹¹ Amen, amen, I say to thee, What we know we speak, and what we have seen we testify; but our testimony you receive not. ¹² If of (what is) on earth I tell you, and you believe not, how if I tell you of (what is) in heaven, could you believe me? ¹³ AND no man hath ascended into heaven, but he who descended from heaven, the Son of man, he who is in heaven. ¹⁴ And as Musha elevated the serpent in the wilderness, so is to be elevated the Son of man, ¹⁵ that every man who believeth in him might not perish, but have the life which is eternal. ¹⁶ For so loved Aloha the world, as his Son, the Only-begotten, he would give, that every one who believeth in him might not perish, but have the life which is eternal. ¹⁷ For Aloha sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world might live by him. ¹⁸ He who believeth on him is not judged, and he who believeth not is judged already, because he believeth not in the name of the only-begotten Son of Aloha. ¹⁹ And this is the judgment, that the light hath come into the world, and the sons of men have loved darkness rather than the light, for their deeds have been evil. ²⁰ For every one who doeth abominable things hateth the light, and cometh not to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. ²¹ But he who doeth the truth cometh to the light, that his works may be known that in Aloha they are wrought.

²⁷ Juchanon answered and said to them, A man cannot receive of his own will any thing, unless it be given to him from heaven.

³⁴ Jeshu saith to them, My meat is to do the will of Him who sent me, and to accomplish his work.

² Now there was there in Urishlem a certain place of ablution,[Or, of baptism.] which was called in Hebrew Bethchesda, and having in it five porticoes.

¹⁸ But on this account the more sought the Jihudoyee to kill him, not only because he had loosed the shabath, but also that of Aloha he had said that he was his Father, and had made himself equal with Aloha.

¹³ But no man openly spoke of him, for fear of the Jihudoyee.

³⁰ And they sought to apprehend him; but no man laid hands on him, because not yet was come his hour.

⁵⁰ One of them, Nikodimos, he who came to Jeshu by night, saith to them, ⁵¹ Does our law condemn a man unless it shall hear from him first, and know what he hath done? ⁵² They answered and said to him, Art thou also of Galila? Investigate, and see, that the Prophet from Galila ariseth not.

¹⁴ Jeshu answered and said to them, Though I testify of myself, my testimony is the truth: because I know from whence I am, and whither I go. But you know not from whence I am, nor whither I go.

⁵⁸ Jeshu saith to them, Amen, amen, I say to you, Before Abraham was, I AM. ⁵⁹ And they took up stones to stone him; but Jeshu concealed himself, and went from the temple, and passed among them, and went.

²² These words said his parents, because they feared the Jihudoyee; for the Jihudoyee had determined that if any man should confess him that he was the Meshicha, they would cast him out of the synagogue:

²⁹ And we know that with Musha Aloha spake; but for this, we know not whence he is. ³⁰ Answered the man and said to them, At this then we must wonder, that you know not from whence he is, and (yet) mine eyes he hath opened!

⁴¹ Jeshu saith to them, If blind you were, you would have no sin; but now you say, We see: therefore your sin is confirmed.

¹¹ I am the good shepherd, and the good shepherd his life layeth down for his flock.

¹⁸ No man taketh it away from me, but I lay it down from my will; for I am able to lay it down, and I am able to take it again; for this commandment have I received from my Father.

³⁰ I and my Father are One. ³¹ And again the Jihudoyee took up stones to stone him. ³² Jeshu saith to them, Many good works from my Father have I showed you: on account of which of these works do you stone me? ³³ The Jihudoyee say to him, Not on account of the good works do we stone thee, but because thou blasphemest; thou, being a son of man, making thyself Aloha.

³⁵ If them he calleth Alohee, because with them was the word of Aloha, and the scripture cannot be loosed, ³⁶ to him whom the Father hath sanctified and sent into the world, say you, Thou blasphemest, because I have said to you, I am the Son of Aloha? ³⁷ And if I do not the works of my Father, believe me not; ³⁸ but if I do, though you believe not me, the works believe, that you may know and believe that the Father is in me, and (that) I (am) in the Father.

¹⁵ And I am glad I was not there for your sakes, that you may believe. But let us walk thither.

⁴² and I know that at all times thou hearest me: yet, because of this assembly which standeth, I say these (words), that they may believe that thou hast sent me.

⁴⁴ And he, the dead, came forth, his hands and his feet being bound with bandages, and his face in a linen cloth. Jeshu saith to them, Release him, and let (him) go.

⁴⁹ But one of them, whose name was Kaiapha, was the high priest of that year; and he said to them, You know not any thing, ⁵⁰ nor reason that it is expedient for us that one man die for the people, and not all the people perish.

⁷ But Jeshu said, Let her alone. For the day of my burial had she kept it.

³⁸ that the word of the prophet Eshaia might be fulfilled, who said, My Lord, who hath believed our report, [Or, our hearing.] and the arm of the Lord, to whom hath it been revealed? ³⁹ Because of this they were not able to believe: Wherefore again Eshaia had said,

⁴² Yet of the chiefs also many believed in him: but because of the Pharishee they did not confess, that they might not be put out of the synagogue:

¹ NOW before the feast of petscha, Jeshu knew that his hour was come, and that he should pass from this world unto his Father, and he had loved his who were in this world, and unto the end he had loved them.

⁸ Shemun Kipha saith to him, Never shalt thou wash for me my feet. Jeshu saith to him, If I do not wash thee, thou hast with me no part. ⁹ Shemun Kipha saith to him, Then, my Lord, not only my feet shalt thou wash for me, but also my hands, also my head. ¹⁰ Jeshu saith, He that hath bathed needeth not but his feet only to wash, for all of him he hath cleansed: also you are clean, but not all of you.

²³ Now there was of his disciples one who reclined on his bosom; he whom Jeshu loved.

²⁹ And now, behold, I have told you while it is not done, that when it has been you may believe.

²² If I had not come and spoken with them, they had not had sin; but now have they no pretext for their sins.[Or, no cause on the faces of their sins.] ²³ He who hateth me, my Father also hateth. ²⁴ And if the works I had not done before their eyes which no other man hath done, they had not had sin; but now they have seen and hated both me and my Father;[Also me, and also my Father.]

²⁷ You also testify, because from the beginning are you with me.

³² Behold, the hour shall come, and now cometh, that you will be dispersed (every) man to his place, and you will have left me alone. But I am not alone, because the Father is with me.

⁴ I have glorified thee on the earth; the work which thou didst give me to do, I have finished it.

²⁰ Nor for these do I pray only, but also for those who shall believe in me through their word; ²¹ that they all may be one, as thou, my Father, (art) in me, and I in thee, that they also in us one may be; that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.

³ Jihuda then took a band, and from the chief priests and Pharishee he took officers, and came thither with lanterns and lamps and arms. ⁴ But Jeshu, who knew every thing that should come upon him, went forth and said to them, Whom seek you?

²² And as these (words) he spake, one of the officers who stood (by) struck Jeshu upon his cheek, and said to him, Thus givest thou the answer to the chief of the priests?

²⁸ NOW they led Jeshu from Kaiapha into the praetorium, and it was early. But they would not enter the praetorium, that they might not be defiled, until they should have eaten the petscha. ²⁹ But Pilatos came forth to them without, and said to them, What accusation have you against this man? ³⁰ They answered and said to him, If he were not a worker of evils, we would not to thee have delivered him. ³¹ Pilatos saith to them, Take you him, and judge him according to your law. The Jihudoyee say to him, It is not lawful for us to put any one to death.

³¹ Pilatos saith to them, Take you him, and judge him according to your law. The Jihudoyee say to him, It is not lawful for us to put any one to death. ³² That the word that Jeshu spake might be accomplished, when he declared by what death he should die.

³² That the word that Jeshu spake might be accomplished, when he declared by what death he should die. ³³ But Pilatos entered the Praetorium, and called Jeshu, and said to him, Art thou the king of the Jihudoyee?

³³ But Pilatos entered the Praetorium, and called Jeshu, and said to him, Art thou the king of the Jihudoyee? ³⁴ Jeshu saith to him, Of thyself sayest thou this, or did others tell thee concerning me? ³⁵ Pilatos saith to him, Am I a Jihudoya? The sons of thy people and the chief priests have delivered thee to me: what hast thou done? ³⁶ Jeshu saith to him, My kingdom is not from this world. If from this world were my kingdom, my servants would have fought, that I should not have been delivered to the Jihudoyee. But now my kingdom is not from hence. ³⁷ Pilatos saith to him, Then thou art a king? Jeshu saith to him, Thou hast said that I am a king. For this am I born, and for this I came into the world, to testify of the truth. Every one who is of the truth heareth my voice. ³⁸ Pilatos said to him, What is the truth? And when he had said this, he went forth again to the Jihudoyee, and said to them, I find not one cause in him. ³⁹ But you have a custom that one I should release to you at the petscha. Will you, therefore, that I release to you this King of the Jihudoyee?

¹ Then Pilatos scourged Jeshu. ² And the soldiers entwined a crown of thorns, and set it on his head; and they covered him with robes of purple, ³ and said, Hail to thee, King of the Jihudoyee! and struck him upon his cheeks. ⁴ And Pilatos came again forth, and said to them, Behold, I bring him to you forth, that you may know that I find nothing against him, nor one cause (of death). ⁵ AND Jeshu came forth, having on him the crown of thorns and the robes of purple. And Pilatos said to them, Behold the man! ⁶ But when the chief priests and officials saw him, they cried out, saying, Crucify him, crucify him! [Or, suspend him.] Pilatos saith to them, Take you him and crucify him; [Elevate him on the cross.] for I find in him no cause.

⁸ When Pilatos heard that word, he the more feared.

¹² On this account Pilatos willed to release him: but the Jihudoyee cried out, If this (man) thou releasest, thou art not the friend of Cesar: for whosoever maketh himself a king is the adversary of Cesar. ¹³ But when Pilatos heard that word, he brought Jeshu without, and sat down upon the tribunal in the place which is called the Pavement of Stones, but in Hebrew it is called Gaphiphtha. ¹⁴ And it was the preparation for the petscha. AND it was about the sixth hour. And he said to the Jihudoyee, Behold your king! ¹⁵ But they cried out, Take him away, take him away! crucify him, [Or, suspend him.] crucify him! Pilatos saith to them, Your king shall I crucify? The chief priests say to him, We have no king but Cesar.

¹⁸ there they crucified him, and with him two others, one on either side, [Or, one here, and one here.] and Jeshu in the midst. ¹⁹ And a tablet also wrote Pilatos, and set it on the cross; and it was thus written, This is Jeshu Natsroya, King of the Jihudoyee.

¹⁹ And a tablet also wrote Pilatos, and set it on the cross; and it was thus written, This is Jeshu Natsroya, King of the Jihudoyee. ²⁰ And this title many of the Jihudoyee read; for nigh to the city was the place where Jeshu was crucified; and the writing was in Hebrew and Greek and Roman.

²⁰ And this title many of the Jihudoyee read; for nigh to the city was the place where Jeshu was crucified; and the writing was in Hebrew and Greek and Roman. ²¹ And the chief priests said to Pilatos, Do not write that he is king of the Jihudoyee, but that he said, I am the king of the Jihudoyee.

²¹ And the chief priests said to Pilatos, Do not write that he is king of the Jihudoyee, but that he said, I am the king of the Jihudoyee. ²² Pilatos saith, That which I have written, I have written.

²⁴ And they said one to another, Let us not rend it, but play for it by playing, [Naphes eleh mephas.] (to decide) whose it shall be: and fulfilled was the scripture which had said, They divided my garments among them, and upon my raiment did they cast the lot. These things did the soldiers.

²⁶ Jeshu seeth his mother, and that disciple whom he loved, standing; and he said to his mother, Woman, behold thy son! [Athto, ho barek.]

²⁸ After these Jeshu knew that every thing would be accomplished, and, that the scripture might be fulfilled, said, I thirst.[Tshe-no.]

³⁰ And when Jeshu had taken the vinegar, he said, Behold, it is finished! [Ho Mashálam.] And he bowed his head, and delivered up his spirit. ³¹ THE Jihudoyee, because it was the preparation, said, Let not these bodies remain-all-night upon the cross, because the shabath has lighted: for a great day was the day of that shabath. And they besought of Pilatos that they should break the legs of those (who had been) crucified, and take them down.

³¹ THE Jihudoyee, because it was the preparation, said, Let not these bodies remain-all-night upon the cross, because the shabath has lighted: for a great day was the day of that shabath. And they besought of Pilatos that they should break the legs of those (who had been) crucified, and take them down. ³² And the soldiers came, and brake the legs of the first, and of that other who was crucified with him;

³⁶ For these things were done, that the scripture might be fulfilled, which said, that, A bone shall not be broken in him. ³⁷ And again another scripture which said, They shall look upon him whom they pierced.

⁴¹ Now in that place where Jeshu was crucified was a garden, and in the garden a new sepulchre where one yet had not been laid. ⁴² And they laid there Jeshu, because the shabath was coming in and the sepulchre was near.

¹ BUT in the first in the week came Mariam Magdalitha in the early-morn, (while it was) yet dark, unto the house of burial. And she saw the stone that it was taken from the sepulchre. ² And she ran, and came to Shemun Kipha, and to that other disciple, whom Jeshu loved, saying to them, They have taken away our Lord from that house of burial, and I know not where they have laid him.

⁵ And looking, he saw the cloths lying, but entering he entered not. ⁶ But Shemun came after him, and went into the house of burial, and saw the cloths set, ⁷ and the napkin that had been bound upon his head, not with the cloths, but folded up, and laid apart in one place.

¹¹ But Mariam stood at the sepulchre weeping: and while weeping, she looked into the sepulchre, ¹² and saw two angels in white, who were sitting, one at his pillows, and one at his feet, where the body of Jeshu had lain. ¹³ And they say to her, Woman, why weepest thou? She saith to them, Because they have taken away my Lord, and I know not where they have laid him. ¹⁴ This said she, and turned herself back, and saw Jeshu standing, and knew not that it was Jeshu. ¹⁵ Jeshu saith to her, Woman, why weepest thou? and whom seekest thou? But she thought he was the gardener, and said to him, Sir, if thou have taken him away, tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will go (and) take him away.

¹⁵ Jeshu saith to her, Woman, why weepest thou? and whom seekest thou? But she thought he was the gardener, and said to him, Sir, if thou have taken him away, tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will go (and) take him away. ¹⁶ Jeshu saith to her, Mariam. She turned and saith to him in Hebrew, Rabuni, which is saying, Malphona. ¹⁷ Jeshu saith to her, Touch [Or, approach.] me not; for not yet have I ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say to them, I ascend to my Father, and to your Father, to my God, and to your God. ¹⁸ Then went Mariam Magdalitha, and announced to the disciples that she had seen our Lord, and (that) these (words) he had spoken to her.

³¹ but these are written, that you may believe that Jeshu is the Meshicha, the Son of Aloha, and that when you have believed you may have in his name the life which is eternal.

⁷ And that disciple whom Jeshu loved said to Kipha, This is our Lord. But Shemun, when he heard that it was our Lord, took his tunic, and threw it over his loins, for he was naked, and cast himself into the sea to come to Jeshu.

²⁰ AND Shemun turned, and saw the disciple whom Jeshu loved following; he, who leaned at the supper upon the bosom of Jeshu, and said, My Lord, who is he that betrayeth thee?

²⁴ This is the disciple who hath testified of all these, and hath also written them: and we know that the truth is his testimony.

²³ This, who was separated thereunto by the foreknowledge and by the will of Aloha, you delivered into the hands of the wicked, and crucified and slew.

⁶ Shemun saith to him, Gold and silver I have not, but what I have I give thee: In the name of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha Natsroya, rise and walk.

¹³ The God of Abraham, and of Ishok, and of Jakub, the God of our fathers, hath glorified his son Jeshu, him whom you delivered up, and denied before the face of Pilatos, when he had justified (him) and would have released him;

¹³ The God of Abraham, and of Ishok, and of Jakub, the God of our fathers, hath glorified his son Jeshu, him whom you delivered up, and denied before the face of Pilatos, when he had justified (him) and would have released him; ¹⁴ but you the Holy and the Just denied, and demanded for you the man the murderer to be given to you. ¹⁵ And Him the Prince of life you killed, whom Aloha hath raised from among the dead; and we all are his witnesses.

¹⁹ SHEMUN KIPHA and Juhanon answered and said to them, If it be right before Aloha that you we obey rather than Aloha, judge you.

²⁸ - to work whatsoever thy hand and thy will have signified before should be done.

⁶ And they who were young men among them arose and composed [Collected or gathered up.] him, [and] carried him forth and buried him.

⁵² For which of the prophets have not your fathers persecuted and slain? they who before announced the coming of the Righteous; him whom you delivered up and slew.

⁵⁸ and seizing they brought him out of the city and stoned him. And they who witnessed against him laid their garments before the feet of a certain young man named Shaol.

³² But the section (phosuka) of the scripture in which he was reading is this: As a lamb to the slaughter was he led; and as a sheep before the shearer is silent, so opened not he his mouth in his humiliation. ³³ From oppression and from judgment was he led; and his age who shall recount? For his life is taken from the earth.

³⁹ And we are his witnesses of all which he did in the land of Jihud and of Urishlem. This (one) himself did the Jihudoyee hang upon the tree and kill;

²⁷ For they, the inhabitants of Urishlem and their princes, have not consented thereto, nor also to the writings of the prophets which are read on every shabath; but condemned him, and accomplished all that was written.

²⁷ For they, the inhabitants of Urishlem and their princes, have not consented thereto, nor also to the writings of the prophets which are read on every shabath; but condemned him, and accomplished all that was written. ²⁸ And while they found not any cause of death, they requested Pilatos that they might kill him. ²⁹ And when they had fulfilled every thing that was written concerning him, they took him from the cross, and laid him in a sepulchre.

²⁹ And when they had fulfilled every thing that was written concerning him, they took him from the cross, and laid him in a sepulchre.

¹¹ And the assembly of the people, when they saw what Paulos had done, lifted up their voice in the language of the country, and said, Gods in the likeness of men have come down unto us. ¹² And they named Bar Naba, lord of the gods;[Mare Alohee.] and Paulos, Hermis, because he was foremost in discourse. ¹³ And the priest of the lord of the gods, who was without the city, brought oxen and garlands to the gates of the court of the place where they dwelt, and willed to sacrifice to them. ¹⁴ But Bar Naba and Paulos, when they heard, rent their garments, and sprang up, and came out to the crowd. ¹⁵ And they cried, and said, Men, what do you? We also are children of men liable to sufferings like you, (and) who preach to you that from these vanities you should turn unto Aloha the living, who made heaven and earth, and the seas, and all that is in them: ¹⁶ who in former generations left all nations to walk in ways of their own; ¹⁷ yet leaving not himself without witness, while he did them good from heaven, and sent down rain, and multiplied the fruits in their times, and filled with food and gladness their hearts. ¹⁸ And when these they had said, they scarcely restrained the people that some one should not sacrifice to them. ¹⁹ But there came thither Jihudoyee from Ikanon and from Antiokia, and stirred up against them the people; and they stoned Paulos, and dragged him out of the city, because they thought that he was dead.

²² And a great gathering assembled against them. Then the prefects rent their vestments, and commanded to scourge them. ²³ And when they had scourged them much, they cast them into the house of the bound, and commanded the keeper of the house of the bound to keep them watchfully.

⁶ And when they could not find them there, they drew Jason and the brethren who were there, and brought them to the chiefs of the city, crying, These are they who have troubled the whole land; and behold again have they come here; ⁷ and their receiver is this Jason; and all these against the commands of Cesar are risen, in saying that there is another king, Jeshu.

³⁶ for after him was much people; and they cried, and said, Away with him! ³⁷ And as they came to enter into the fortress, Paulos himself said to the tribune, May I be permitted to speak to the people? But he said to him, Javanith knowest thou?

⁴⁰ And when he had permitted him, Paulos stood upon the stairs, and signed to them with his hand; and when they had ceased, he spoke to them in Hebrew, and said to them,

² And when they heard that Hebrew he was speaking with them, the more they ceased; and he said to them,

¹⁶ And now why delayest thou? Arise, baptize, and be washed from thy sins, while thou callest his Name.

²² And when they had heard Paulos until this word, they lifted up their voice, and cried, Take from the earth one like this; for he ought not to live.

²⁴ the tribune commanded that he should be brought into the fortress, and commanded him to be questioned by scourging, that he might know for what cause they cried against him. ²⁵ And as they exposed him with thongs, Paulos said to the centurion who stood near him, Is it allowed you to scourge a Roman man who is not condemned?

²⁴ And after a few days Felix, and Drusilla his wife, who was a Jihudoytha, sent and called Paulos, and they heard from him concerning the faith of the Meshiha. ²⁵ And as he discoursed with them of righteousness, and of holiness, and of the judgment which is to come, Felix was filled with fear, and he said, Now go, and when I have opportunity [Or, place.] I will send for thee. ²⁶ For he hoped that a bribe would be given him by Paulos, and on this account he continually sent to bring him, and to speak with him. ²⁷ And when two years were fulfilled to him, another governor came in his place, who was called Porcios Festos. But Felix, as to do a favour to the Jihudoyee, left Paulos bound.

⁹ For I, at the first, proposed in my mind to do many things against the name of Jeshu Natsroya.

¹⁴ And we fell all of us upon the earth; and I heard a voice that said to me in Hebrew, Shaol, Shaol, why persecutest thou me? [Shaol, Shaol, mono rodeph ath li?] It is hard to thee to kick against the pricks!

⁴ and is known [Or, acknowledged.] (to be) the Son of Aloha by power, and by the Holy Spirit, who raised him from among the dead, Jeshu Meshiha our Lord:

²⁵ whom Aloha before ordained (to be) a propitiation through faith in his blood for our sins which from the first we had sinned,

⁴ For the end of the law is the Meshiha unto righteousness in all who believe in him.

³⁶ For all is of him, and all in him, and all by him. To him be praises and benedictions unto the age of ages. Amen.

¹ LET every soul to the powers of dominion be subject. For there is no power that is not from Aloha, and the powers that be, of Aloha are they instituted.

⁴ For every thing that hath before been written for our instruction was written, that by the patience and consolation of the scriptures we might have hope.

³⁰ But you are of him in Jeshu Meshiha, who hath been made unto us wisdom, of Aloha, and righteousness and sanctification and redemption;

⁷ Purge from you the old leaven, that you may be a new mass; so that you may be (as) unleavened bread. For our Pascha is the Meshiha, who hath been slain for us.

¹¹ And these were some of you but you are washed, and sanctified, and justified in the name of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha, and by the Spirit of our God.

⁴ and that he was buried, and arose the third day, as it is written.

²¹ For Him who knew not sin, on our account hath he made sin, that we might be in him the righteousness of Aloha.

²⁴ From the Jihudoyee, five times, forty (stripes) wanting one have I devoured;

¹³ But us hath the Meshiha bought from the curse of the law, and hath been made a curse instead of us: for it is written, Accursed is every one who is hanged on the wood:

²⁶ that he might sanctify her and purify her in the laver of waters and by the word,

¹⁴ And a multitude of brethren who are in our Lord are strengthened on account of my bonds, and have dared the more fearlessly to speak the word of Aloha.

²⁸ in nothing moved by them who stand against us, to the forthshowing of their perdition, and of our salvation,

⁸ and humbled himself, and was obedient unto death, but the death of the cross.

¹² And you have been buried with him by baptism, and in him have risen with him, who have believed in the power of Aloha who raised him from among the dead.

¹⁴ and hath blotted out in his mandates the writing of our debts that was against us, and hath taken it from the midst, and affixed it to his cross; ¹⁵ and by the yielding up of his body he hath prostrated principalities and powers, and hath shamed them openly by himself. ¹⁶ LET no man therefore judge you in meat and in drink, or in the distinctions of festivals, and of new moons, and of shabeths,[Or, weeks.] ¹⁷ which are shadows of those to come, but the body is the Meshiha.

² and the elderly women as mothers, and those who are young as thy sisters, with all purity. ³ The widows honour them who are widows in truth. ⁴ And if there be a widow who hath children, or children's children, let them learn first to do justly for their families, and to repay the debts (owing) to their parents; for this is acceptable before Aloha.

¹⁴ who gave himself for us, to redeem us from all iniquity, and to cleanse unto himself a new people,[Amo chadtho.] who are zealous of good works.

⁵ not by works of righteousness which we had done, but by his own mercy he saved us, by the laving of the birth which is afresh, by the renewing of the Spirit of Holiness, ⁶ which he shed upon us abundantly, by Jeshu Meshiha our Saviour; ⁷ that by his grace we might be justified, and be made heirs according to the hope of the life which is eternal.

³ how shall we escape if we despise those (words) which themselves are our salvation? those [namely] which began by our Lord to be spoken, and by them who from him heard them in us were confirmed, ⁴ when Aloha witnessed concerning them by signs, and by miracles, and by various powers, and by distributed gifts [Distributions, or dividings.] of the Spirit of Holiness, that were bestowed according to his will.

¹⁴ FORASMUCH as the sons have been made to participate in flesh and blood, he also likewise was made a partaker of these very things; that by his death he might abolish him who held the power of death, who is Satana, ¹⁵ and set loose them who in the fear of death had been all their lives subjected to servitude.

⁴ But they who once unto baptism have descended,* and have tasted the gift which is from heaven, and have received the Spirit of Holiness, [* Honun d'chado zaban l'mahmuditho nechathu. The Greek reads, Tous apax photisthentas, " they who have been once enlightened." The rendering of the Peschito here harmonizes with the emblematical way of speaking of baptism, as the mysterion photismatos, " the sacrament of illumination, " that prevailed in the ancient church; and to which an allusion is made so early as the middle of the second century, in the Apology of Justin Martyr. (Apol. i. cap. 80.) The epithet of "the illuminated" might have been applied to the baptized, in primitive days, both because the administration of the ordinance betokened a recognition, on the part of the church, of a certain measure of divine knowledge in the candidate, as well as that it was in itself a medium through which the BELIEVER had the privilege of receiving more of the illuminating grace of the Holy Spirit. Still we have no evidence that, in the tous photisthentus of the Greek text, there was any specific allusion to baptism. In this and the parallel place, in chap. 10:32, the Greek phrase plainly refers to inward and spiritual illumination, - or, as it is expressed in the explanatory terms of verse 26 of that chapter, the receiving the knowledge of the truth.] ⁵ and have tasted the good word of Aloha, and the power of the world to come, ⁶ (and) who again shall sin, cannot again be renewed unto conversion, who would afresh crucify and put to shame the Son of God. ⁷ For the earth that hath drank the rain which hath come upon it many times, and shall have brought forth the herb that is useful for them on whose account it is cultured, receiveth blessing from Aloha; ⁸ but that which shall produce thorns and briers hath reprobation; nor is it far from the curse, but its end is burning.

²⁶ For such an High Priest as this was adequate for us; pure, and without evil, and without spot; who was separate from sins, and exalted higher than heaven.

¹¹ BUT the Meshiha who hath come was a High Priest of good things which he wrought out, and hath entered into the great and perfect tabernacle (which was) not made with hands, nor made from these creatures. ¹² Nor entered he with the blood of goats and calves, but with the blood of himself he entered once the holy place, and hath found eternal redemption. ¹³ For if the blood of goats and of calves, and the dust of an heifer, sprinkled upon those who were unclean, sanctifieth them for the purification of their flesh,

¹³ For if the blood of goats and of calves, and the dust of an heifer, sprinkled upon those who were unclean, sanctifieth them for the purification of their flesh, ¹⁴ how much more then shall the blood of the Meshiha, who, by the Eternal Spirit, himself hath offered without spot unto Aloha, purify our conscience from dead works, to serve the Aloha the Living?

²² Because every thing with blood was purified under the law; and without shedding of blood there is no remission.

²² Because every thing with blood was purified under the law; and without shedding of blood there is no remission.

¹⁹ We have, therefore, my brethren, confidence [Openness of faces.] to enter [In the entrance of.] the holy place through the blood of Jeshu; and a way of life ²⁰ which he hath now made new to us through the veil, which is his flesh; ²¹ and we have the High Priest over the house of God. ²² Let us, therefore, draw near with a confirmed heart, and the full security of faith, with our hearts sprinkled and cleansed from an evil conscience, and our body washed with pure waters;

³⁶ But others went through mockings and scourgings; others unto chains and imprisonments were given up,

² And let us look unto Jeshu, who hath become the chief and the perfecter of our faith; who, for the joy that was before him, endured the cross, and unto shame delivered himself, and at the right hand of the throne of Aloha hath sat down.

¹¹ For those animals, whose blood the high priest took into the sanctuary for sins, had their flesh burned without the camp. ¹² On this account Jeshu, that he might sanctify his people by his blood, without the city suffered.

¹² On this account Jeshu, that he might sanctify his people by his blood, without the city suffered. ¹³ Therefore let us also go forth unto him without the camp, being, clothed with his ignominy.

¹⁷ every good gift and perfect from above descendeth, from the Father of lights, with whom is no alteration, nor the shadow of vicissitude.

¹⁷ And he who knoweth the good and doeth it not, sin is to him.

¹⁹ but with the precious blood of the Lamb spotless and unblemished, who is the Meshiha;

²² Who did no sin, nor was guile found in his mouth;

²⁴ and took all our sins and upbore [Vaseq enun. Aphel of nesaq, ascendit, clevarit.] them in his body on the cross; that when dead to sin, in the righteousness of him we might live; for by his stripes you are healed,

¹⁸ Because the Meshiha also once died on account of sins, the just on account of sinners, that he might bring [Or, present.] us unto Aloha. And dead in the body and alive in the Spirit,

²¹ After which very type also you are saved in baptism,[B'mahmuditho.] not while you cleanse the body from filth, but while you make confession of [Or, in.] Aloha with a pure conscience, and of [Or, in.] the resurrection of Jeshu Meshiha;

¹ BUT I entreat of the presbyters who are among you, I, a presbyter, your companion, and a witness of the sufferings of the Meshiha, and a partaker of his glory that is to be revealed;

¹ WE announce [Mesabrinan.] to you that which was from the beginning, that which we have heard, and seen with our eyes, have seen, and touched with our hands, that which is the Word of life. ² And the life was manifested, and we have seen, and testify, and preach to you the eternal life which was with the Father, and was manifested to us. ³ And what we have seen and heard, we make known also to you, that you may have communion with us; and our communion is with the Father, and with his Son Jeshu the Meshiha.

⁶ And if we say that we have communion with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and in the truth do not proceed; ⁷ but if in the light we walk, as He is in the light, we have communion with one another, and the blood of Jeshu his Son cleanseth us from all our sins. ⁸ And if we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us; ⁹ but if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

⁵ And you know that he was manifested to bear our sins, and sin in him is not.

¹⁸ My sons, let us not love one another in words and in tongue, but in works and in truth. ¹⁹ And by this we make known that we are of the truth, and before that he cometh we make confident our hearts.

⁶ This is he who came by water and blood, Jeshu the Meshiha: it was not by water only, but by water and blood;

⁸ And there are three that testify, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood; and these three are in one.

¹³ These I have written to you, that you may know that you have the life which is eternal, who believe in the name of the Son of Aloha.

⁵ and from Jeshu Meshiha who is the faithful Witness, the First-born of the dead, and Head of the kings of the earth, who hath loved us, and released [Sharo, solvit.] us from our sins by his blood,

⁷ Behold, he cometh with clouds, and all eyes shall see him, and they also who transfixed [Dadaqruhi.] him; and for him shall mourn all the tribes of the earth. Yes, Amen!

¹⁴ And I said to him, My lord, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they who have come from great affliction, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

¹¹ And they had a king over them, the angel of the abyss, and his name in Hebrew is Abadon; but in Javanith his name is Apolon.

¹⁶ And they gathered them to a place which is called in Hebrew Armagedon.
