Bring him hither to me. ²⁰ And they brought him to Him; and seeing Him, immediately the spirit convulsed him; and falling on the ground, he continued to wallow, foaming. ²¹ And He asked his father, How long is it since this occurred to him? And he said, from childhood: ²² and frequently he cast him into the fire and into the waters, in order that he may destroy him: but if you are able to do anything, assist us, being moved with compassion towards us. ²³ And Jesus said to him, It is this, if you are able (to believe); all things are possible to him that believeth. ²⁴ And immediately the father of the child crying out with tears, continued to say, I believe; assist thou my unbelief. ²⁵ And Jesus seeing that the multitude are running together, rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to him, Dumb and deaf spirit, I command thee, come out from him, and enter no more into him. ²⁶ And crying out, and convulsing he came out. And he became like a corpse; so that many said, that, he is dead.

³⁸ And John responded to Him saying, Teacher, we saw one casting out demons in Thy name, who does not follow us; and we forbade him, because he does not follow us. ³⁹ And Jesus said, Forbid him not. For there is no one who shall do a miracle in my name, and be able quickly to speak evil of me. ⁴⁰ For whosoever is not against us, is on our side.

³⁰ except he may receive a hundredfold now in this time, and brothers, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions; and in the coming age eternal life.

¹⁰ blessed is the coming kingdom of our father David: Hosanna in the highest!

¹⁰ Have you not read the Scripture; The stone which the builders rejected, the same has come to be the head of the corner:

²⁶ But concerning the dead, that they are raised, have you not read in the book of Moses at the Bush, how God spoke to him saying; I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?

³² He shall be great and shall be called the Son of the Highest; and the Lord God shall give unto Him the throne of His father David: ³³ and He shall reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of His Kingdom there shall be no end.

⁴³ And whence is this to me that the mother of my Lord may come unto me?

³¹ which thou didst prepare before the face of all peoples; ³² a light unto the revelation of the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel. ³³ And His father and His mother were marveling at the words spoken concerning Him.

⁴⁸ And seeing Him they were astonished, and His mother said to Him; Child, why did you thus do unto us? Behold, thy father and I were seeking thee, sorrowful. ⁴⁹ And He said to them, Why were you seeking after me? Did you not know that it behooved me to be in the affairs of my Father?

⁵¹ And He went down with them and came to Nazareth; and was subject unto them. And His mother continued to keep all these words in her heart. ⁵² And Jesus continued to grow in wisdom and stature and favor with God and men.

⁷ Then he said unto the multitudes coming out to be baptized by him; O generations of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?

⁹ But truly the ax is laid to the root of the trees; Therefore every tree not producing good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.

²² and the Holy Spirit in bodily appearance like a dove descended on Him; and there was a voice from heaven, saying; Thou art my beloved Son, I am delighted in Thee.

¹⁸ The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because He anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor: hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim deliverance to the captives, and sight to the blind, and to set at liberty them that are bruised,

¹⁴ And He commanded him to tell no one: but having gone away, show thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing, as Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them. ¹⁵ And the word concerning Him was going abroad: and many multitudes continued to come, and be healed of their diseases by Him.

¹ And it came to pass on the second Sabbath, He was going through the cornfields; and His disciples were plucking the ears, and eating, shelling them out with their hands. ² And certain ones of the Pharisees said to them, Why are you doing that which is not lawful to do on the Sabbath? ³ Jesus responded and said to them, Have ye not read what David did, when he was hungry, and those being with him?

³ Jesus responded and said to them, Have ye not read what David did, when he was hungry, and those being with him? ⁴ How he entered into the house of God, and how he took the shewbread, and ate it, and gave it to those with him; which is not lawful to eat, except the priests only? ⁵ And He said to them, The Son of man is Lord of the Sabbath also.

⁵ And He said to them, The Son of man is Lord of the Sabbath also. ⁶ And it came to pass on another Sabbath, that He came into the synagogue and taught, and a man was there, whose right hand was withered.

⁶ And it came to pass on another Sabbath, that He came into the synagogue and taught, and a man was there, whose right hand was withered. ⁷ And the scribes and Pharisees were watching Him, if He will heal him on the Sabbath, in order that they may find accusation against Him.

⁷ And the scribes and Pharisees were watching Him, if He will heal him on the Sabbath, in order that they may find accusation against Him. ⁸ But He knew their thoughts, and said to the man having the withered hand, Rise up, and stand in the midst; and he having arisen stood. ⁹ And Jesus said to them, I will ask you; What is lawful on the Sabbath; to do good, or to do evil? to save life, or to destroy?

⁹ And Jesus said to them, I will ask you; What is lawful on the Sabbath; to do good, or to do evil? to save life, or to destroy? ¹⁰ And looking around upon them all, He said to him, Reach forth thy hand. And he did so: and his hand was restored. ¹¹ And they were filled with rage; and they were talking one to another what they might do to Jesus.

¹¹ And they were filled with rage; and they were talking one to another what they might do to Jesus. ¹² And it came to pass in those days, that He went out into the mountain to pray; and was there through the night in the prayer of God.

¹⁷ And having come down with them, He stood upon a level place, and a great multitude of His disciples, and a great crowd of people from all Judea and Jerusalem, and Tyre and Sidon by the sea, who came to hear Him, and to be healed of their diseases; ¹⁸ and those troubled by unclean spirits; and they were getting healed. ¹⁹ And the whole multitude sought to touch Him: because power was going out from Him, and was healing all.

⁴³ For there is no beautiful tree producing corrupt fruit, nor corrupt tree producing beautiful fruit. ⁴⁴ For every tree is known by its own fruit: for they do not gather figs from thorns, nor do they gather the grape-bunch from the bramble. ⁴⁵ The good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth the good; and the wicked man out of the wicked treasure of his heart brings forth that which is wicked: for out of the abundance of his heart his mouth speaks.

³⁴ The Son of man has come eating and drinking, and you say, Behold, a gluttonous wine-drinking man, a friend of publicans and sinners.

¹⁰ And He said; To you it has been given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to the rest in parables; in order that seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand.

¹⁹ And His mother and His brothers came to Him, and were not able to reach Him on account of the crowd. ²⁰ And it was told Him, Thy mother and thy brothers stand without, wishing to see thee. ²¹ And He responding said to them, My mother and my brothers are the ones hearing the word of God, and doing it.

²¹ And He responding said to them, My mother and my brothers are the ones hearing the word of God, and doing it.

²⁸ And seeing Jesus, and crying out, he worshiped Him, and said with a loud voice; What is there to me and to thee, O Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I pray thee torment me not. ²⁹ For He commanded the unclean spirit to come out from the man; for since a long time he had possessed him, and he was frequently bound, secured with chains and fetters, and smashing his bonds, was driven by the demons into the desert. ³⁰ And Jesus asked him saying, What is thy name? And he said Legion; because many demons entered into him. ³¹ And he continued to intreat Him that He should not command them to depart into the abyss. ³² And there was a herd of many swine feeding in the mountain: and they continued to intreat Him that He should permit them to go into them. And He permitted them.

² And He sent them to preach the kingdom of God and to heal the sick.

³⁵ And there was a voice from the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: hear ye Him. And while the voice is heard, Jesus is found alone.

⁴⁹ And John responding said, Master, we saw one casting out the demons in thy name; and we forbade him, because he does not follow with us. ⁵⁰ And Jesus said to him, Forbid him not; for whosoever is not against us is on our side.

⁵⁰ And Jesus said to him, Forbid him not; for whosoever is not against us is on our side.

¹¹ Even the dust from your city, that cleaveth to our feet, do we wipe off against you: but know this, that the kingdom of God is at hand.

²⁶ He said to him, What has been written in the law? how do you read it?

¹⁴ And He was casting out a demon, and he was dumb: and it came to pass, the demon having gone out, the dumb spoke; and the multitudes were astonished. ¹⁵ And certain ones of them said, He casts out the demon through Beelzebul, the prince of the demons.

¹⁵ And certain ones of them said, He casts out the demon through Beelzebul, the prince of the demons. ¹⁶ And others tempting, continued to seek with Him a sign from heaven. ¹⁷ And He, knowing their thoughts, said to them, Every kingdom divided against itself, comes to desolation, and house falls upon house. ¹⁸ And if Satan were indeed divided against himself, how will his kingdom stand? Because you say I am casting out demons through Beelzebul. ¹⁹ But if I through Beelzebul cast out the demons, through whom do your sons cast them out? Therefore they shall be your judges:

¹⁹ But if I through Beelzebul cast out the demons, through whom do your sons cast them out? Therefore they shall be your judges: ²⁰ but if I through the finger of God cast out the demons, then the kingdom of God has come nigh unto you.

²⁰ but if I through the finger of God cast out the demons, then the kingdom of God has come nigh unto you. ²¹ When the strong man armed may keep his palace, his goods are in peace: ²² but when one stronger than he, having come, may conquer him, he takes away his panoply in which he trusted, and divides his spoils. ²³ The one not being with me is against me; and the one not gathering with me scatters abroad. ²⁴ When the unclean spirit may go out from the man, he goes through dry places; seeking rest, and finding none, he says, I will return into my own house, whence I came out. ²⁵ And having come he finds it swept and beautified. ²⁶ Then he goes, and takes seven other spirits more wicked than himself; and having come in he dwells there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first.

²⁶ Then he goes, and takes seven other spirits more wicked than himself; and having come in he dwells there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first. ²⁷ And it came to pass, while He is speaking these words, a certain woman lifting up her voice from the crowd, said to Him, Blessed is the womb having borne thee, and the breasts which thou didst suck. ²⁸ And He said, Truly blessed are those hearing the word of God, and keeping it. ²⁹ And the multitudes being assembled, He began to say, This is a wicked generation: it seeks after a sign, and no sign shall be given to it except the sign of the prophet Jonah.

²⁹ And the multitudes being assembled, He began to say, This is a wicked generation: it seeks after a sign, and no sign shall be given to it except the sign of the prophet Jonah. ³⁰ For as Jonah was a sign to the Ninevites, so shall the Son of man also be a sign to this generation. ³¹ The queen of the south will rise in judgment with this generation, and condemn them; because she came from the uttermost parts of the earth, to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and behold, a greater than Solomon is here. ³² The men of Nineveh will rise in judgment with this generation, and condemn it: because they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and behold a greater than Jonah is here.

³² The men of Nineveh will rise in judgment with this generation, and condemn it: because they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and behold a greater than Jonah is here.

³⁹ And the Lord said to him, Now you Pharisees purify the outside of the cup and the plate, but the interior is full of extortion and wickedness. ⁴⁰ Ye fools, did not the One having made the outside also make the inside?

⁴⁹ Therefore the wisdom of God said, I will send unto them prophets and apostles; and some of them they will slay and persecute. ⁵⁰ In order that the blood of all the prophets poured out from the foundation of the world, may be required from this generation; ⁵¹ from the blood of Abel unto the blood of Zachariah, who perished between the altar and the house; yea, I say unto you, it shall be required of this generation.

⁵⁴ laying in wait, to catch something from His mouth.

¹⁰ And every one who shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but to him having blasphemed against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven.

²⁴ Observe the ravens, because they neither sow nor reap; to which there is no storehouse nor barn, and God feeds them; are you not much better than the fowls?

¹⁰ And He was teaching in one of the synagogues on the Sabbath. ¹¹ And behold, a woman having a spirit of infirmity eighteen years; and she was bowed together, and not at all able to straighten up. ¹² And Jesus seeing her, called to her, and said, Woman, thou art loosed from thy infirmity: ¹³ and He placed His hands on her: and immediately she straightened up, and continued to glorify God.

¹³ and He placed His hands on her: and immediately she straightened up, and continued to glorify God. ¹⁴ And the chief ruler of the synagogue, responding, being grieved because Jesus healed on the Sabbath, said to the multitude, There are six days in which it behooveth us to work: therefore during these, coming, be healed, and not on the Sabbath-day.

¹⁴ And the chief ruler of the synagogue, responding, being grieved because Jesus healed on the Sabbath, said to the multitude, There are six days in which it behooveth us to work: therefore during these, coming, be healed, and not on the Sabbath-day. ¹⁵ And the Lord responded to him, and said, Ye hypocrites, does not each one of you loose his ox or his donkey from the stall, and leading him away, give him water on the Sabbath? ¹⁶ Did it not behoove this one, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan bound, lo, these eighteen years, to be loosed from this bondage on the Sabbath-day? ¹⁷ And He speaking these things, all opposing Him became ashamed: and the whole multitude rejoiced over all the illustrious works wrought by Him.

³ And Jesus responding spoke to the theologians and Pharisees, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath-day, or not? and they were silent.

³ And Jesus responding spoke to the theologians and Pharisees, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath-day, or not? and they were silent. ⁴ And taking him by the hand, He healed him, and sent him away. ⁵ And responding to them He said; Of which one of you shall his son or his ox fall into a pit, and will he not immediately lift him out on the Sabbath-day?

⁵ And responding to them He said; Of which one of you shall his son or his ox fall into a pit, and will he not immediately lift him out on the Sabbath-day? ⁶ and they were not able to respond to these things.

¹⁶ The law and the prophets were until John: from that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every one presses into it.

²³ And in Hades lifted up his eyes, being in torment, sees Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. ²⁴ And he calling said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue, because I am tormented in this flame. ²⁵ But Abraham said, Child, remember that you received your good things in your life, and Lazarus likewise evil things: but now he is comforted, and you are tormented. ²⁶ And in addition to all these things, there is a great gulf fixed between us and you, in order that those wishing to go hence to you may not be able, neither can they come thence to us.

²⁰ Then being interrogated by the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God is coming, He responded to them and said, The kingdom of God comes not with observation:

²⁰ Then being interrogated by the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God is coming, He responded to them and said, The kingdom of God comes not with observation: ²¹ neither will they say; Lo, here! or, there! for behold, the kingdom of God is among you.

²² And he says to him, Out of thine own mouth I will judge thee, thou wicked servant. Didst thou know that I am an austere man, taking up what I have not laid down, and reaping what I have not sown?

⁴¹ And when He drew near, seeing the city He wept over it, ⁴² saying, If thou indeed hadst known, truly in this thy day, the things appertaining to thy peace! but now they are hidden from thy eyes. ⁴³ Because the days will come upon thee, and thine enemies will cast a fortification about thee, and surround thee, and press in on thee from all directions, ⁴⁴ and will slay thee, and thy children in thee; and will leave in thee not a stone upon a stone; because thou hast not known the time of thy visitation.

²² is it lawful for us give tribute to Caesar, or not?

³⁴ And responding Jesus said to them, The sons of this age marry and are given in marriage, ³⁵ but those counted worthy to attain that age and the resurrection, which is from the dead,

²² Because these are the days of vengeance, to fill up all things which have been written.

² And they began to accuse Him, saying, We found Him perverting the nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Caesar, saying that He is Christ, a King.

¹⁴ said to them, You have brought to me this man, as revolutionizing the people: and behold, I, judging Him before you, found nothing in this man criminal of those things which you accuse against Him.

³⁴ And Jesus said, Father, forgive them, for they know not what they are doing. And dividing His garments, they were casting the lots. ³⁵ The people stood looking: and the rulers were even mocking with themselves, saying, He saved others; let Him save Himself, if He is the Christ, the elect of God.

⁵⁶ And having returned, they prepared aromatics and myrrh: and they kept the Sabbath according to the commandment.

⁴⁴ And He said to them, These are my words which I spoke to you, being still with you, that it behooves all things which have been written concerning me in the law of Moses, and the prophets, and the Psalms, to be fulfilled.

¹⁴ The Word was made flesh, and tented among us (and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten with the Father), full of grace and truth.

¹⁸ No one has ever seen God; the only begotten Son, the one being in the bosom of the Father, He hath declared him.

³² And John testified saying, I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and remained on Him. ³³ And I did not know Him, but the One having sent me to baptize with water, He said to me, On whom you may see the Spirit descending and remaining on Him, He is the one baptizing with the Holy Ghost. ³⁴ And I have seen, and testified that He is the Son of God.

¹ On the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there:

³ And they had no wine, because the wine of the marriage was exhausted. Then the mother of Jesus says to Him, There is no wine. ⁴ And Jesus says to her, What is that to me and to thee? O woman, my hour is not yet come. ⁵ His mother says to the servants, Do whatsoever He may say to you.

¹² After this He and His mother, and His brothers and His disciples went down into Capernaum, and abode there not many days.

¹⁸ Then the Jews responded and said to Him, What sign do you show us, because you do these things? ¹⁹ Jesus responded and said to them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will rear it up.

¹⁹ Jesus responded and said to them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will rear it up. ²⁰ Then the Jews said, Forty and six years was this temple being built, and wilt thou rear it up in three days? ²¹ But He spoke concerning the temple of His body.

²⁴ and Jesus did not intrust Himself to them because He knows all men, ²⁵ and because He had no need that any one should witness concerning man; because He was knowing what was in man.

³¹ He that cometh from above is above all;

³⁴ For whom God sent speaketh the words of God: for He does not give His spirit by measure.

¹² Art thou greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well, and himself and his sons, and his herds, drank of it?

²⁹ Come hither, see the man who told me all things which I did: Is not He the Christ?

⁴⁸ Then Jesus said to him, Unless you may see signs and wonders, you can not believe.

³ In them a multitude of the sick, blind, lame, withered, were lying down.

⁹ And the man was made whole, and he took up his bed and continued to walk about. And it was the Sabbath on that day. ¹⁰ Then the Jews were saying to the healed man, It is the Sabbath, and it is not lawful for thee to carry thy bed.

¹⁰ Then the Jews were saying to the healed man, It is the Sabbath, and it is not lawful for thee to carry thy bed. ¹¹ He responded to them, the one having made me whole, He said to me, Take thy bed, and walk about.

¹⁶ And on account of this the Jews continued to persecute Jesus, because He was doing these things on the Sabbath. ¹⁷ And He responded to them, My Father worketh until now, and I work.

¹⁷ And He responded to them, My Father worketh until now, and I work. ¹⁸ Therefore the Jews the more sought to kill Him, because He not only broke the Sabbath, but said that God was His Father, making himself equal to God.

¹⁸ Therefore the Jews the more sought to kill Him, because He not only broke the Sabbath, but said that God was His Father, making himself equal to God. ¹⁹ Then Jesus responded and said to them, Truly, truly, I say unto you, The Son is not able to do anything Himself, unless He may see the Father doing it: for whatsoever He may do, the Son likewise also doeth the same. ²⁰ For the Father loveth the Son, and showeth Him all things which He doeth; and will show Him greater things than these, in order that you may be astonished. ²¹ For as the Father raiseth up the dead and createth life in them, so the Son also createth life in whom He will. ²² For the Father judgeth no one, for He hath given all judgment to the Son; ²³ in order that all may honor the Son, as they may honor the Father. He that honoreth not the Son honoreth not the Father who sent Him.

²⁹ Jesus responded and said to them, This is the work of God, that you may believe on Him whom He hath sent. ³⁰ Then they said to Him, Then what miracle do you perform, that we may see, and believe you, what you may do?

⁴⁰ For this is the will of my Father, that every one seeing the Son, and believing on Him, may have eternal life; and I will raise him up in the last day.

¹ After these things Jesus walked about in Galilee: for He was not willing to walk about in Judea, because the Jews were seeking to kill Him.

³ Then His brothers said to Him; Depart hence, and go into Judea; in order that thy disciples shall see thy works which thou art doing. For no one does anything in secret, and Himself seeks to be public.

⁵ For His brothers were not believing on Him.

¹⁰ And when His brothers went up to the feast, then Himself also went up, not openly, but in secret.

¹² And there was much murmuring in the crowd concerning Him: some indeed were saying, That He is good; others were saying, No, but He deceives the multitude.

²¹ Jesus responded and said to them, I did one work, and you were all astonished. ²² Moses gave you circumcision, not that it is of Moses, but of the fathers, and you circumcise a man on the Sabbath.

²² Moses gave you circumcision, not that it is of Moses, but of the fathers, and you circumcise a man on the Sabbath. ²³ If a man receives circumcision on the Sabbath, in order that the law of Moses may not be broken; are you mad at me, because I made a man entirely whole on the Sabbath?

²³ If a man receives circumcision on the Sabbath, in order that the law of Moses may not be broken; are you mad at me, because I made a man entirely whole on the Sabbath? ²⁴ Judge not according to sight, but judge righteous judgment.

³⁹ And He spoke this concerning the Spirit, whom those believing on Him were about to receive: for the Spirit was not yet; because Jesus was not yet glorified. ⁴⁰ Then those hearing these words from the multitude, were saying, This is truly the prophet; ⁴¹ others were saying, He is the Christ; others were saying, For whether does Christ come out of Galilee? ⁴² Did not the Scripture say, that Christ comes from the seed of David and from the village of Bethlehem, where David was?

⁵² They responded and said to him, Whither art thou also from Galilee? Search, and see that no prophet rises out of Galilee.

⁴⁴ You are of your father the devil, and you wish to do the lusts of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and stood not in the truth, because there was no truth in him. When he may speak a lie, he speaks of his own: because he is a liar, and the father of the same.

⁵³ Whether art thou greater than our father Abraham, who died? and the prophets died: whom do you make yourself? ⁵⁴ Jesus responded, If I may glorify myself, my glory is nothing: my Father is the one glorifying me; whom you say, that, He is our God; ⁵⁵ indeed you do not know Him: but I know Him. If I may say, I know Him not, I will be a liar like you: but I know Him, and I keep His word. ⁵⁶ Abraham, our father, rejoiced that he might see my day; he saw it, and was glad. ⁵⁷ Then the Jews said to Him, You are not yet fifty years old, and have you seen Abraham? ⁵⁸ Jesus said unto them, Truly, truly, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.

⁴ It behooveth us to work the works of Him that sent us, while it is day: the night comes, when no one is able to work.

¹⁴ And it was the Sabbath on the day on which Jesus made mortar, and opened his eyes. ¹⁵ Then again the Pharisees also asked him how he looked up. And he said to them, He placed the mortar on my eyes, and I washed, and see. ¹⁶ Then certain ones of the Pharisees said, This man is not with God, because He does not keep the Sabbath. Others said, How is a wicked man able to do such miracles? And there was a division among them.

¹⁶ Then certain ones of the Pharisees said, This man is not with God, because He does not keep the Sabbath. Others said, How is a wicked man able to do such miracles? And there was a division among them.

³⁵ If He called them gods, to whom the word of God came (and the Scripture is not able to be broken),

³⁹ They sought again to take Him: and He passed out of their hand. ⁴⁰ And again He departed beyond the Jordan into the place where John was first baptizing; and remained there: ⁴¹ and many came to Hint, and said, that John indeed did no miracle; but all things so many as John spoke concerning this One are true. ⁴² And many believed on Him there.

⁵² And not only for the nation, but that He may gather into one the children of God dispersed abroad. ⁵³ Then from that day they passed the verdict, that they would kill Him. ⁵⁴ Therefore Jesus walked no more publicly among the Jews, but went away thence into the country near the desert, into a city called Ephraim; and there tarried with His disciples.

⁵⁷ And both the high priests and Pharisees had given commandment, if any one should know where He is, he should communicate it, in order that they might arrest Him.

⁶ And He spoke this, not because there was a care to him for the poor; but because he was a thief, and had the purse, and was carrying those things cast in.

³¹ Now is the judgment of this world: now the prince of this world shall be cast out.

³⁸ in order that the word of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spoke, Lord, who hath believed our report? And to whom is the arm of the Lord revealed?

² And the supper being on hand, the devil already having entered into the heart, that Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon, should betray Him,

²⁷ And after the morsel, Satan entered into him. Then Jesus says to him; What thou art doing, do more quickly.

³⁰ I shall no longer speak many things with you, because the prince of the world comes: and he has nothing in me;

⁴ Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch is not able to produce fruit of itself, unless it may abide in the vine; so you are not able, unless you may abide in me. ⁵ I am the vine, and ye are the branches. The one abiding in me, and I in him, the same bears much fruit: because you are not able to do anything without me. ⁶ If any one may not abide in me, he is cast out as a branch, and withered; and they gather it, and cast it into the fire, and it is burnt. ⁷ If you may abide in me, and my words may abide in you, ask whatsoever you may wish, and it shall be done unto you.

¹⁴ You are my friends, if you may do those things which I command you.

²² If I did not come and speak to them, they had not sin: now they have no excuse for their sin. ²³ The one hating me hates my Father also. ²⁴ If I did not works among them which no other did: they had not sin: but now they have both seen and hated both me and my Father.

¹¹ and concerning judgment, because the prince of this world has been condemned.

⁸ because the words which thou didst give me I have given unto them; and they received them, and they know truly that I came out from thee, and they believed that thou didst send me. ⁹ I pray for these: I pray not for the world; but for those whom thou hast given me, because they are thine:

²⁰ And I not only pray for these, but also for those believing on me through their word;

³⁶ Jesus responded, My kingdom is not of this world. If my kingdom were of this world, my servants would fight for me, in order that I might not be delivered to the Jews. But now my kingdom is not from thence. ³⁷ Then Pilate said to Him, Then, art thou not a king? Jesus responded, Thou says that I am king. Unto this I was born, and unto this I have come into the world, in order that I may bear witness to the truth. Every one being of the truth hears my voice. ³⁸ Pilate says to Him, What is truth? And saying this, again he went out to the Jews, and speaks to them, I find no crime in Him.

²⁵ And by the cross of Jesus stood His mother, and the sister of His mother, Mary the mother of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene. ²⁶ Then Jesus seeing His mother, and the disciple whom He loved, standing by, said to His mother; Woman, behold, thy son. ²⁷ Then He says to the disciple, Behold, thy mother. And from that hour that disciple received her into his own home. ²⁸ After this, Jesus seeing that all things are already perfected, in order that the Scripture might be fulfilled, says, I thirst.

¹⁷ Jesus says to her, Cling not to me; for I have not ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and tell them, I ascend to my Father and your Father, and my God and your God.

¹⁷ Jesus says to her, Cling not to me; for I have not ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and tell them, I ascend to my Father and your Father, and my God and your God. ¹⁸ Mary Magdalene comes proclaiming to the disciples, I have seen the Lord; and He spoke these things to her. ¹⁹ Then it being evening, on that day, on the first day of the week, and the doors being shut where the disciples were assembled, on account of the fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in their midst, and says to them, Peace be unto you. ²⁰ And saying this, He shewed them His hands and His side. Then the disciples rejoiced, seeing the Lord.

¹⁷ He says to him a third time; Simon, the son of Jonah, do you love me as a friend? Peter was grieved, because He said to him the third time, Do you love me as a friend? And he says to Him, Lord, thou knowest all things; and thou dost understand that I love thee as a friend. He says to Him, Feed my sheeplings.

¹⁴ They were all persevering of one accord in prayer along with the women, and Mary, the mother of Jesus, and His brothers.

⁷ And taking him by the right hand he raised him up; and immediately the bottoms of his feet and his ankle-bones were strengthened. ⁸ And leaping out, he stood, and continued to walk around, and came into the temple with them, walking around and leaping, and praising God.

¹⁴ And you denied the Holy and Righteous One, and ask that a man who was a murderer should be delivered unto you, ¹⁵ and you slew the Prince of life, whom God raised from the dead, whose witnesses we are.

¹⁹ Repent, therefore, and turn, that your sins may be blotted out, in order that seasons of soul-renewing may come from the presence of the Lord,

²² Moses indeed said; The Lord our God will raise up to you from your brethren a prophet like unto me; Him you will hear concerning all things so many as he may speak to you. ²³ And it shall come to pass, that every soul whosoever will not hear that prophet, shall be cut off from the people.

¹ And a certain man, Ananias by name, with Sapphira his wife, sold an estate ² and kept back a part from the price, his wife knowing it along with him; and having brought a certain part, laid it at the feet of the apostles. ³ But Peter said, Ananias, wherefore hath Satan filled thy heart to lie to the Holy Ghost, and keep back a part from the price of the land?

⁵¹ Ye stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, you do always resist the Holy Ghost; as your fathers did, so do ye.

¹³ But Simon himself also believed: and being baptized, was constantly with Philip, both seeing the miracles and the great dynamites performed, was astonished.

¹⁸ But Simon seeing that by the laying on of the hands of the apostles the Spirit was given, offered them money, saying, ¹⁹ Give me this power, that on whomsoever I may lay hands, he may receive the Holy Ghost. ²⁰ And Peter said to him, Thy silver be unto destruction with thee, because thou hast thought to obtain the gift of God with money. ²¹ There is neither part nor lot to thee in this word: for thy heart is not right before God. ²² Therefore repent of this thy wickedness, and pray the Lord, if perchance the thought of thy heart shall be forgiven thee; ²³ for I see thou art in the gall of bitterness and the bond of iniquity.

²⁷ And rising up, he departed. And, behold, an Ethiopian man, a eunuch, an officer of Candace queen of the Ethiopians, who was over all her treasury, had been to Jerusalem to worship, ²⁸ and was returning, and sitting upon his chariot he was reading the prophet Isaiah.

³⁸ Jesus, the one from Nazareth, how God anointed Him with the Holy Ghost and power: who went about doing good, and healing all oppressed by the devil: because God is with Him.

¹⁸ And hearing these things, they acquiesced, and glorified God, saying, Then God has also given unto the Gentiles repentance unto life.

²⁷ For those dwelling in Jerusalem, and the rulers, having rejected him, condemning him, have

⁴⁶ And Paul and Barnabas speaking boldly, said, It was necessary that the word of God should first be spoken to you: since you have rejected it, and judge yourselves not worthy of eternal life, behold we now turn to the Gentiles. ⁴⁷ For thus the Lord has commanded us, I have placed thee for a light of the Gentiles, that thou shalt be for salvation unto the extremity of the earth. ⁴⁸ And the Gentiles hearing, rejoiced, and glorified the word of the Lord: and so many as had been ordained unto eternal life believed:

²⁷ And arriving, and convening the church, they reported so many things as God did with them, and that He opened the door of faith to the Gentiles.

³⁰ and leading them out said, Sirs, what does it behoove me to do in order that I may be saved? ³¹ And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus, and thou and thy household shall be saved.

³⁰ Then indeed God winking at the times of ignorance, now commands all men everywhere to repent:

¹³ And certain ones of the itinerant Jewish exorcists undertook to call the name of the Lord Jesus, over those having evil spirits saying, I adjure you in the name of Jesus whom Paul is preaching. ¹⁴ And there were certain seven sons of one Sceva, a Jewish high priest, doing this. ¹⁵ But the evil spirit responding said to them, I know Jesus, and am acquainted with Paul; but who are you? ¹⁶ And the man in whom was the evil spirit, leaping on them, domineering over both of them, prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded.

⁹ Moreover indeed, I thought to myself that I ought to do many things contrary to the name of Jesus the Nazarene: ¹⁰ which I did also in Jerusalem, and shut up many of the saints in prison; and having received authority from the chief priests, and they being slain, I gave my vote against them; ¹¹ and throughout all the synagogues, frequently punishing them, I compelled them to blaspheme; and being exceeding mad against them, I was persecuting them even also unto foreign cities.

¹⁷ delivering thee from the people, and from the Gentiles, unto whom now I send thee, ¹⁸ to open their eyes, to turn them from darkness unto light, and from the power of Satan unto God, in order that they may receive remission of sins, and an inheritance among those who are sanctified by faith in me.

¹⁸ to open their eyes, to turn them from darkness unto light, and from the power of Satan unto God, in order that they may receive remission of sins, and an inheritance among those who are sanctified by faith in me.

²⁰ but first to those in Damascus, and also in Jerusalem, and throughout all the country of Judea, and to the Gentiles, I was preaching that they should repent and turn to God, doing things worthy of repentance.

¹⁶ in the day when God will judge the secrets of men through my gospel according to Jesus Christ.

²⁷ and that which is uncircumcision by nature, perfecting the law, will judge you, who through the letter and circumcision are a transgressor of the law.

¹⁰ as has been written, There is no one good, not one: ¹¹ there is no one who understands, there is no one who seeks out God; ¹² all have gone away, they have all together become unprofitable; there is no one who is doing good, there is not one. ¹³ Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips. ¹⁴ Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness.

¹⁹ But we know that so many things as the law speaks, it says to those under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and the whole world may become guilty before God.

²⁹ Because whom he did foreknow, he did also predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be the firstborn among many brethren:

⁸ as has been written, God has given them the spirit of slumber, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear, unto this day. ⁹ And David says, Let their table be made a snare, and a trap, and a stumblingblock, and a recompense unto them: ¹⁰ and let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see, and bow down their back always.

¹⁷ For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Ghost.

⁹ and that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy; as has been written, Therefore I will confess thee among the Gentiles, and in thy name sing praises. ¹⁰ And again he says, Rejoice, ye Gentiles, with his people. ¹¹ And again, Let all the Gentiles praise the Lord; and let all ye peoples praise him. ¹² And again, Isaiah says, There shall be the root of Jesse, and he that ariseth to rule over the Gentiles; in him shall the Gentiles hope.

¹² And again, Isaiah says, There shall be the root of Jesse, and he that ariseth to rule over the Gentiles; in him shall the Gentiles hope. ¹³ And the God of hope fill you in all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, in the power of the Holy Ghost.

¹⁷ Moreover I have boldness in Christ Jesus as to the things appertaining to God: ¹⁸ for I will not dare to speak anything save those things which Christ has wrought through me, unto the obedience of the Gentiles, in word and deed, ¹⁹ in the power of signs and wonders, in the power of the Spirit of God, so that from Jerusalem, and around about even unto Illyricum, I have fully preached the gospel of Christ;

²² Since indeed the Jews ask for miracles, and the Greeks seek after wisdom;

¹¹ For who of men knows the things of man, except the spirit of the man which is in him? so indeed no one knows the things of God, except the Spirit of God.

⁵ Have we not a right to lead about a sister as a wife, as the other apostles also, and the brothers of the Lord, and Cephas?

²¹ to those without law, I became as without law, not being without the law of God, but under the law of Christ, that I may gain those without law.

¹⁹ For it behooves that heresies should indeed be among you, in order that the approved may be made manifest among you.

² On the first day of the week let each one of you lay by with himself treasuring up, that as to whatsoever he may be prospered, in order that there may be no collections at that time when I may come.

⁷ so on the contrary you should rather forgive and comfort him, lest perhaps such a one may be swallowed up with excessive grief.

¹⁴ But thanks be unto God, who always causes us to triumph in Christ, and manifesting the fragrance of his knowledge through us in every place:

⁴ in whom the god of this age has blinded the minds of those who believe not, in order that the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, may not shine on them.

¹⁶ So that we from now know no man after the flesh: if indeed we have known Christ after the flesh, but we now know him no more.

¹⁵ What concord of Christ unto Belial? or what part has a faithful man with an infidel? ¹⁶ And what harmony has the temple of God with idols? for we are the temple of the living God; as God said; I will live in them, and walk about among them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.

¹ But I Paul exhort you through the meekness and gentleness of Christ, who before your face am indeed humble among you, but being absent am bold towards you:

³ For walking in the flesh, we do not wage war according to the flesh; ⁴ for the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty to God unto the pulling down of strongholds; ⁵ casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;

² For I am jealous of you with the jealousy of God: for I espoused you to one husband, to present you a pure virgin to Christ;

¹⁹ but I saw no other of the apostles, except James the brother of the Lord.

⁶ For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision or uncircumcision avails anything; but faith working through divine love.

¹⁵ But if you bite and devour one another, take heed that you may not be consumed one of another.

⁹ But let us not get weary doing that which is good: for in due time we will reap, fainting not.

¹⁵ for neither is circumcision anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature.

⁶ unto the praise of the glory of his grace, with which he has blessed us in the Beloved:

¹² that we should be unto the praise of his glory, who first exercised hope in Christ: ¹³ in whom you also, having heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, in whom, also having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise,

²¹ above all government, and authority, and power, and lordship, and every name named, not only in this age, but in the age to come:

² in which at one time you walked about according to the age of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit which is now working in the sons of disobedience;

¹¹ Therefore remember, that when you were Gentiles in the flesh, called Uncircumcision by that which is called Circumcision, made in the flesh with hands; ¹² because you were at that time without Christ, being alienated from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers of the covenants of the promise, having no hope and being atheists in the world. ¹³ But now you are in Christ Jesus, who being at one time far off have been made nigh by the blood of Christ.

²⁰ having been built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief cornerstone, ²¹ in whom the entire edifice, being assimilated, increases into a holy temple in the Lord; ²² in whom also you are built together into a habitation of God in the Spirit.

⁵ which in other generations was not made known to the sons of men, as it is now revealed to his holy apostles and prophets through the Spirit; ⁶ that the Gentiles are to be fellow-heirs, and the same body, and partakers of the promise of Christ Jesus through the gospel, ⁷ whose minister I became, according to the gift of the grace of God which was given unto me; according to the working of his power. ⁸ To me, the least of all saints, was this grace given, to preach to the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ;

²⁹ Let no corrupt communication go forth out of your mouth, but if anything is good unto edification of need, in order that he may give grace to those who hear.

²⁵ Husbands, love your wives with divine love, as Christ also loved the church with divine love, and gave himself for her; ²⁶ in order that he might sanctify her, having purified her by the washing of water through the word, ²⁷ in order that he might present to himself the glorious church, having not spot or wrinkle or any of such things; but that she might be holy and blameless.

⁴ And fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord. ⁵ Ye servants, obey those who are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in purity of your heart, as unto Christ; ⁶ not with eyeservice, as menpleasers, but as the servants of Christ doing the will of God from the soul;

¹² because there is not to us fighting against blood and flesh, but against the governments, against the authorities, against the world-rulers of this darkness, against the spirits of wickedness in the heavenlies.

⁶ who, being in the form of God, thought it not usurpation to be equal with God, ⁷ but he humbled himself, having taken the form of a servant, being in the likeness of men; and having been found in fashion like a man;

¹ Paul, the apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and brother Timothy,

¹³ who delivered us from the power of darkness, and transplanted us into the kingdom of the Son of his love;

²⁷ to whom God willed to make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles, who is Christ in you, the hope of glory:

⁹ because in him dwells all the fulness of the Godhead bodily,

¹¹ where there is not Greek and Jew, circumcision and uncircumcision, barbarian, Scythian, bond, free: but Christ is all things, and in all.

¹⁶ Let the word of God dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another, in all wisdom, in psalms, hymns, spiritual songs, with grace making melody in your hearts to God;

⁶ Let your word be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how it behooves you to answer each one.

¹⁵ who even killed the Lord Jesus and the prophets, and persecuted us, and are displeasing to God, and hostile to all men; ¹⁶ forbidding that we should speak to the Gentiles in order that they may be saved; that they may fill up their sins always: but the wrath is come upon them to the uttermost.

⁹ whose coming is according to the energy of Satan in all power and signs and wonders of falsehood, ¹⁰ and in all the deception of unrighteousness to those who perish; because they did not receive the divine love of the truth, that they might be saved. ¹¹ And on this account God sends to them the working of delusion, that they should believe a lie: ¹² in order that they may all be condemned who did not believe the truth, but took pleasure in unrighteousness.

¹³ being antecedently a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and an insulter: but I obtained mercy, because I did it in unbelief being ignorant;

¹³ being antecedently a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and an insulter: but I obtained mercy, because I did it in unbelief being ignorant; ¹⁴ but the grace of our Lord with faith and the divine love which is in Christ Jesus superabounded. ¹⁵ It is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief:

¹⁵ It is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief:

² the elderly women as mothers; the younger women as sisters, in all purity.

⁴ he has been inflated, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and controversies, from which come envy, strife, blasphemies, evil surmisings, ⁵ wranglings of men having been corrupted as to their mind and turned away from the truth, considering that gain is godliness.

⁹ But those wishing to be rich fall into temptation and a snare and many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown the people in destruction and perdition. ¹⁰ For the love of money is a root of all evils: which some seeking after have wandered from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

²⁴ But it does not behoove the servant of the Lord to strive, but to be gentle toward all, competent to teach, enduring evil, ²⁵ in meekness correcting the adversaries; if peradventure God may grant unto them repentance into the perfect knowledge of the truth,

¹² teaching us, that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we must live prudently and righteously and holily in this present age;

² whom he put forth the heir of all things, and through whom he created the ages; ³ who being the brightness of his glory, and the character of his person, and holding up all things by the word of his power, having made purgation of the sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high; ⁴ being so much greater than the angels, that he has inherited a name so much more excellent than they.

¹¹ For both the one sanctifying and they who are sanctified are all of one: on account of which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren, ¹² saying, I will proclaim thy name to thy brethren, in the midst of the church will sing praises to thee. ¹³ And again, I will put my trust in him: and again; Behold, I and the children which God has given unto me. ¹⁴ Then since the children have inherited blood and flesh, he likewise also received the same, in order that through death he might set at nought him who has the power of death, that is, the devil; ¹⁵ and might reconcile them whosoever were subject to bondage all their life through the fear of death. ¹⁶ For not yet does he take upon himself the nature of angels, but he takes upon himself the seed of Abraham. ¹⁷ Therefore he ought in all things to be made like unto his brethren, in order that he might be a merciful and faithful High Priest in things appertaining to God, to the end that he may atone for the sins of the people.

⁵ And Moses was indeed faithful in all his house as a servant, unto the testimony of those things which shall be spoken; ⁶ but Christ was as a son, over his own house; whose house we are, if we hold fast the boldness and rejoicing of hope firm unto the end.

¹³ And no creature is hidden in his presence: but all things are naked and have been laid open to the eyes of him to whom the word is unto us.

⁹ and having been made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation to all those who obey him;

⁴ For it is impossible that those having been once enlightened, and tasted the heavenly gift, and have been made partakers of the Holy Ghost,

⁴ For it is impossible that those having been once enlightened, and tasted the heavenly gift, and have been made partakers of the Holy Ghost,

⁴ For it is impossible that those having been once enlightened, and tasted the heavenly gift, and have been made partakers of the Holy Ghost, ⁵ and having tasted the beautiful word of God, and the dynamites of the coming age,

⁵ and having tasted the beautiful word of God, and the dynamites of the coming age, ⁶ indeed having fallen away, to renew them again unto repentance; having crucified to themselves again the Son of God, and put him to an open shame.

⁶ indeed having fallen away, to renew them again unto repentance; having crucified to themselves again the Son of God, and put him to an open shame. ⁷ For the earth drinking the rain coming often upon her, and bringing forth the herb nutritious to those by whom it is also cultivated, receives blessings from God: ⁸ but that which produces thorns and thistles, is reprobate, and nigh unto the curse; whose end is unto burning.

²⁶ For we sinning willingly after we have received the perfect knowledge of the truth, there is left no more sacrifice for sins,

²⁶ For we sinning willingly after we have received the perfect knowledge of the truth, there is left no more sacrifice for sins,

²⁶ For we sinning willingly after we have received the perfect knowledge of the truth, there is left no more sacrifice for sins, ²⁷ but a certain fearful anticipation of judgment and violence of fire, about to devour the adversaries.

²⁷ but a certain fearful anticipation of judgment and violence of fire, about to devour the adversaries. ²⁸ The one having rejected the law of Moses dies without mercy before two or three witnesses:

²⁸ The one having rejected the law of Moses dies without mercy before two or three witnesses: ²⁹ of how much more terrible punishment, do you think, the one having trodden under foot the Son of God, and counted the blood of the covenant, by which he was sanctified, common, and insulted the Spirit of grace; be counted worthy!

²⁹ of how much more terrible punishment, do you think, the one having trodden under foot the Son of God, and counted the blood of the covenant, by which he was sanctified, common, and insulted the Spirit of grace; be counted worthy!

²⁹ of how much more terrible punishment, do you think, the one having trodden under foot the Son of God, and counted the blood of the covenant, by which he was sanctified, common, and insulted the Spirit of grace; be counted worthy! ³⁰ For we know him who said, Vengeance belongs to me, I will repay; and again, The Lord will judge his people. ³¹ It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

³⁹ But we are not of the drawing back unto perdition; but of faith unto the salvation of the soul.

⁷ By faith Noah, being warned concerning things not yet seen, being moved with fear, prepared an ark for the salvation of his family; by which he condemned the world, and became heir to the righteousness which is according to faith.

¹² Therefore hold up the hands which hang down, and the paralyzed knees, ¹³ and make straight paths for your feet, in order that whatsoever is lame may not be turned out of the way, but rather may it be healed.

²⁸ Therefore receiving an unshaken kingdom, let us have grace, through which we may worship God acceptably with reverence and fear:

²¹ Therefore having laid aside all filthiness and excess of evil, receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls. ²² But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.

²¹ Was not Abraham our father justified by works, having offered up his son Isaac on the altar? ²² You see that faith wrought with his works, and by works the faith was made perfect; ²³ and the scripture was fulfilled, saying, And Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the friend of God. ²⁴ You see that a man is justified by works, and not only by faith. ²⁵ And likewise also was not Rahab the harlot justified by works, having received the spies, and sent them out by another way?

⁵ so also the tongue is a little member, and it boasts great things. Behold, how great a wood a little fire kindles! ⁶ The tongue, a fire, the world of iniquity: the tongue sits down in the midst of our members, and corrupting the whole body, and setting on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire from hell. ⁷ For every nature both of wild beasts, and of birds, and of creeping things, and of oceanic animals, is subdued, and has been subjugated to human nature: ⁸ but no one of men is able to tame the tongue; an incorrigible evil, full of deadly poison.

¹² My brethren, whether is the fig-tree able to produce olives, or the vine figs? Neither is the bitter fountain able to produce sweet water.

⁴ O adulteresses, do you not know that the friendship of the world is enmity to God? Whosoever therefore may wish to be the friend of the world renders himself the enemy of God.

⁸ draw nigh unto God, and he draws nigh unto you. Purify your hands, ye sinners; and cleanse your hearts, ye double-minded.

⁶ You condemned, you murdered the righteous; nothing antagonizes you.

⁴ Unto whom going forth, to a living stone, indeed rejected by men, but elect with God, precious,

⁴ Unto whom going forth, to a living stone, indeed rejected by men, but elect with God, precious, ⁵ and you, as living stones, are built up a spiritual house, into a holy priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices, acceptable unto God through Jesus Christ.

²¹ For unto this you have been called: because Christ suffered for you, leaving you an example, that you may follow in his steps:

² that he may no longer live the remaining time in carnality according to the lusts of men, but in the will of God.

⁸ Be sober, watch. The devil is walking round like a roaring lion, seeking some one to devour:

¹⁷ For having received from God the Father the honor and glory of such a voice having been borne to him from the excellent glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.

¹⁴ having eyes full of an adulteress, and unable to cease from sin; beguiling unestablished souls: having a heart which has been made fat with covetousness; children of the curse: ¹⁵ leaving the straight way, they have wandered off, following in the way of Balaam the son of Bosor, who loved the reward of iniquity; and had the conviction of his own conscience: ¹⁶ the dumb workbeast having spoken with the voice of a man, rebuked the madness of the prophet. ¹⁷ These are fountains without water, and mists driven away by the storm, for which the blackness of darkness has been reserved. ¹⁸ For speaking swelling words of vanity, in the lusts of the flesh they beguile with their impurities, those that have but partially escaped, who are still moving about in their delusion; ¹⁹ promising them liberty, they themselves being the slaves of corruption: for to whatsoever any one has been subordinated, to this he has become enslaved. ²⁰ For if having escaped the pollutions of the world through the perfect knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, and having again become entangled in these things, they are overcome, the last state has to them become worse than the first. ²¹ For it was better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, having known it, to turn away from the holy commandment which has been delivered unto them. ²² It has happened unto them according to the old proverb, The dog having returned to his own vomit; and the sow that had washed to wallowing in the mire.

⁹ If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous that he may forgive us our sins, and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

¹ My little children, I write these things to you, in order that you may not sin. And if any one may sin, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous: ² he is the expiator for our sins: and not ours only, but indeed for the whole world.

¹⁷ The world and its lust are indeed passing away; but the one doing the will of God abides forever.

¹⁹ They came out from us, but they were not of us; for if they were of us, they would have remained with us: but in order that they might be made manifest that they are not all of us.

⁸ The one doing sin is of the devil; because the devil sins from the beginning. Unto this the Son of God was made manifest, that he might destroy the works of the devil.

¹⁰ In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: every one not doing righteousness is not of God, and the one not loving his brother with divine love.

²³ And this is his commandment, that we may believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and we may love one another with divine love, as he has given to us commandment. ²⁴ And the one keeping his commandments abides in him, and he in him; and in this we know that he abides in us, he has given us of his Spirit.

⁴ You are of God, little children, and you have conquered them; because he who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.

¹⁶ If any one may see his brother sinning a sin not unto death, he shall ask, and he will give him life to those sinning not unto death. There is a sin unto death; concerning this I do not say that you may ask.

¹⁶ If any one may see his brother sinning a sin not unto death, he shall ask, and he will give him life to those sinning not unto death. There is a sin unto death; concerning this I do not say that you may ask. ¹⁷ All unrighteousness is sin: and there is sin not unto death.

¹⁹ We know that we are of God, and the whole world lies in the evil one.

⁴ For certain men have crept in, who long ago were written down to this judgment, ungodly, transforming the grace of God into impurity, even denying Jesus Christ, our only Sovereign and Lord. ⁵ But I wish you to remember, once having known all these things, that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, destroyed them that believed riot, the second time:

¹⁰ But these blaspheme so many things as they know not: and so many things as they understand naturally, like irrational animals, in these they are corrupted. ¹¹ Woe unto them! because they have gone off in the way of Cain, and in the delusion of Balaam they have been seduced by reward, and they perished in the gainsaying of Korah. ¹² These are rocks in your love-feasts, feasting along with you without fear shepherdizing themselves, clouds without water, driven away by the winds; withered trees, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots; ¹³ wild waves of the sea, foaming out their own disgraces; wandering stars, for which the blackness of darkness has been reserved forever. ¹⁴ And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied against these, saying, Behold, the Lord came with his myriads of saints, ¹⁵ to execute judgment against all, and to convict all the ungodly of them for all the works of their ungodliness which they have impiously done, and for all their hard speeches which they have spoken against him, being ungodly sinners.

¹⁰ I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and I heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet

²³ And I will slay her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am the one searching the reins and the hearts: and I will give to you each according to your works.

¹⁵ I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I would that you were either cold or hot. ¹⁶ Thus because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I am about to spew you out of my mouth.

² And I saw, and behold, a white horse: and the one sitting on him having a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and that he might conquer.

¹¹ and they have over them a king, the angel of the bottomless pit, to him the name is Abaddon in Hebrew, and in Greek he has the name Apollyon.

⁷ And there was war in the heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon. ⁸ And the dragon and his angels fought, and they did not prevail; neither was their place found any more in the heaven. ⁹ And the great dragon, the old serpent, the one called the devil, and Satan, the one deceiving the whole world, was cast out: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

⁹ And the great dragon, the old serpent, the one called the devil, and Satan, the one deceiving the whole world, was cast out: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. ¹⁰ And I heard a great voice in the heaven saying, Now has come salvation, and power, and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Christ: because the accuser of our brethren, the one accusing them before our God day and night, is cast out.

³ And I saw one of his heads as it had been smitten unto death; and the wound of his death was healed. And the whole earth wondered after the beast: ⁴ and they worshiped the dragon, because he gave authority to the beast; and they worshiped the beast, saying; Who is like the beast? and who is able to make war with him?

⁸ And all those who dwell upon the earth, whose name has not been written in the book of life of the Lamb that was slain from the foundation of the world, will worship him. ⁹ if any one has ears, let him hear.

¹⁰ And the fifth poured out his bowl upon the throne of the beast; and his kingdom was filled with darkness; and they gnawed their tongues from the pain,

¹⁹ And the great city was divided into three parts, and cities of the Gentiles fell. And great Babylon came into remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the wrath of his indignation.

¹⁶ And the ten horns which you saw and the beast, these will hate the harlot, and will make her desolate and naked, and eat her flesh, and burn her up with fire; ¹⁷ for God has given it into their hearts to do his mind, and to have one mind, and to give their kingdom to the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled.

¹¹ And I saw the heaven open, and behold a white horse; and one sitting on him called, Faithful and True, in righteousness he both judges and wages war. ¹² And his eyes are a flame of fire, and upon his head are many diadems; having a name written, which no one knows, but himself, ¹³ and being clothed with a garment sprinkled with blood: and his name has been called, The Word of God. ¹⁴ Armies in the heaven follow him on white horses, clothed in linen, white and clean. ¹⁵ And out of his mouth goes forth a sharp sword, that with it he may smite the nations; and he will shepherdize them with an iron rod: and he treads the winepress of the wrath of the indignation of God Almighty. ¹⁶ And he has on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, King of kings, and Lord of lords. ¹⁷ And I saw one angel standing on the sun; and he cried with a great voice, saying to all the birds which fly in the midst of heaven, Come, gather yourselves to the great banquet of God; ¹⁸ in order that you may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of chiliarchs, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses and of those sitting on them, and the flesh of all free men and slaves also, both small and great. ¹⁹ And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, assembled to make war with the one sitting on the horse, and with his army. ²⁰ And the beast, and the false prophet along with him, who wrought miracles in his presence, by which he deceived those having received the mark of the beast, and those worshiping his image; and the two were cast alive into the lake of fire which burns with brimstone. ²¹ And the rest were slain with the sword proceeding out from the mouth of him, the one sitting on the horse: and all the birds were filled with their flesh.

¹ And I saw an angel coming down out of the heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit, and a great chain on his hand. ² And he laid hold on the dragon, who is the old serpent, who is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years, ³ and cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and put his seal on him, that he should deceive the nations no more, until the thousand years may be fulfilled: after these it behooves him to be loosed a little season.

⁷ And when the thousand years may be fulfilled, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison, ⁸ and he will go forth to deceive the nations which are in the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to the war: the number of them being as the sand of the sea. ⁹ And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed about the camp of the saints, even the city which is beloved: and fire came down out of the heaven, and devoured them;

¹² And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne; and the books were opened, and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of the things which were written in the books, according to their works.

¹⁴ Happy are those who wash their robes, that they may have right to the tree of life, and enter in through the gates into the city.
