Mark 7 Cross References - Haweis

¹ AND the Pharisees, and some of the scribes, who came from Jerusalem, collected together around him. ² And seeing some of his disciples eating bread with hands unclean, that is, unwashed, they found fault. ³ For the Pharisees and all the Jews, unless they wash their hands to the wrist, eat not, holding the tradition of the elders. ⁴ And coming from the market, unless they have washed, they never eat. And there are many other things which they have by tradition received to observe, as the washings of cups, and pots, and vessels of brass, and couches. ⁵ Then the Pharisees and the scribes asked him, Why do not thy disciples walk conformable to the tradition of the elders, but eat bread with unwashed hands? ⁶ Then he answering said to them, Well did Isaiah prophesy concerning you hypocrites, as it is written, "This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me. ⁷ Now vainly do they worship me, while teaching doctrines the commandments of men." ⁸ For leaving the command of God, ye adhere to the tradition of men, the washings of pots and cups; and many other such like things ye practise. ⁹ And he said to them, Strangely do ye make void the command of God, that ye may observe your tradition. ¹⁰ For Moses said, "Honour thy father and thy mother:" and "he that curseth father or mother, let him assuredly be put to death." ¹¹ But ye affirm, If a man say to his father or mother, it is Corban (that is, a gift), which otherwise might have been advantageous to thee from me; ¹² then ye permit him no more to do any thing for his father, or his mother; ¹³ abrogating the word of God by the tradition, which ye have transmitted down; and many such like things ye do. ¹⁴ And he called to him all the multitude, and said unto them, hear me all of you, and understand. ¹⁵ There is nothing from without a man, that entering into him, can make him unclean: but the things which come out from him, these are the things which make a man unclean. ¹⁶ If any man hath ears to hear, let him hear. ¹⁷ And when he was come into the house from the multitude, his disciples asked him concerning the parable. ¹⁸ And he saith to them, Are ye also so defective of intelligence? Do you not consider, that every thing from without that entereth into a man, cannot make him unclean? ¹⁹ because it entereth not into his heart, but into his belly, and goeth out into the vault, carrying off all the impurities of the food. ²⁰ But, said he, what cometh out of a man, that makes a man unclean. ²¹ For from within out of the heart of men proceed wicked reasonings, adulteries, whoredoms, murders, ²² thefts, inordinate cravings, mischievous actions, knavery, lewdness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, folly: ²³ all these wicked things come from within, and render a person unclean. ²⁴ And rising, he departed thence into the confines of Tyre and Sidon; and entering into a house, desired that no man should know it: yet he could not be hid. ²⁵ For a woman hearing of him, whose daughter had an unclean spirit, came and fell at his feet. ²⁶ The woman was a Greek, a Syrophenician by birth, and she entreated him that the devil might be cast out of her daughter. ²⁷ And Jesus said unto her, Let the children first be fed, for it is not proper to take the children's bread, and throw it to the dogs. ²⁸ But she replied, and said to him, True, Lord, yet the dogs under the table eat of the children's crumbs. ²⁹ And he said unto her, For this speech, go home, the devil is gone out of thy daughter. ³⁰ And going to her house, she found the devil gone out, and her daughter laid on a couch. ³¹ And again departing from the coasts of Tyre and Sidon, he came to the sea of Galilee, through the midst of the coasts of Decapolis. ³² And they bring him a deaf man, who could scarcely articulate; and they entreat him to put his hand upon him. ³³ And he took him aside out of the crowd, and put his fingers into his ears, and spitting, he touched his tongue; ³⁴ and looking up to heaven, he heaved a deep sigh, and saith unto him, Ephphatha! that is, Be opened. ³⁵ And instantly his ears were opened, and the tie of his tongue loosed, and he spake distinctly. ³⁶ And he charged them that they should tell no man: but the more he charged, the more abundantly they published it abroad. ³⁷ And they were astonished beyond all imagination, saying, He hath done all things admirably; he maketh even the deaf to hear, and the dumb to speak.

¹ THEN came to Jesus scribes and Pharisees from Jerusalem, saying, ² Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? for they wash not their hands when they eat bread? ³ And he answering said to them, And why do you transgress the command of God, by your tradition? ⁴ For God commanded, saying "Honour thy father and thy mother:" and, He that curseth father or mother, let him surely die. ⁵ But ye say, If any man declare to his father or mother, This is a [devoted] gift, which else might have been employed by me for thy advantage; ⁶ then he shall not with it honour his father and mother: so have ye vacated the command of God by your tradition. ⁷ Ye hypocrites, well hath Isaiah prophesied concerning you, saying, ⁸ This people draweth nigh to me with their mouths, and honoureth me with the lips, but their heart is far distant from me. ⁹ But in vain do they worship me, teaching doctrines the commandments of men. ¹⁰ And he called to him the multitude, and said unto them, Hear, and understand: ¹¹ not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but what cometh out of the mouth, that defileth the man. ¹² Then his disciples approaching, said to him, Knowest thou how offended the Pharisees were at hearing that speech? ¹³ Then he answered and said, Every plant which my heavenly Father hath not planted shall be rooted up. ¹⁴ Leave them to themselves: they are blind leaders of the blind. But if the blind lead the blind, they will both fall into the pit. ¹⁵ Then Peter answering said unto him, Explain to us this parable. ¹⁶ And Jesus said, Are ye also to this time destitute of intelligence? ¹⁷ Do ye not observe, that every thing which entereth into the mouth passeth into the belly, and is ejected into the vault? ¹⁸ But the things which go forth out of the mouth, come out of the heart, and they are the things which defile a man: ¹⁹ for out of the heart proceed wicked reasonings, murders, adulteries, whoredoms, thefts, false testimonies, blasphemies: ²⁰ these are the things which defile a man: but to eat with unwashed hands doth not defile a man.

³ And why spiest thou out the mote which is in thy brother's eye, yet payest no attention to the beam which is in thine own eye? ⁴ Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Suffer me to take the mote off from thine eye: and behold there is a beam in thine own eye? ⁵ Thou hypocrite, take first the beam out of thine own eye and then shalt thou see clearly to take off the mote from thy brother's eye.

²³ Wo unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithes of mint, and anise, and cummin, and have neglected the weightier precepts of the law, judgment, and mercy, and fidelity: these thing ought ye to have done, and not to leave the others undone. ²⁴ Ye blind guides! who strain out a gnat, but gulp down a camel. ²⁵ Wo unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye cleanse the outside of the cup, and of the dish, but within they are full of rapacity and intemperance.

¹⁴ But Peter said, By no means, Lord for I have never at any time eaten of any thing common or unclean. ¹⁵ And the voice again a second time came to him, What God hath cleansed, call not thou unclean.

²⁸ And he said unto them, Ye know how contrary it is to established usage, for a man who is a Jew to associate with or visit one of another nation; but God hath shewed me to call no man common or unclean.

⁸ But I said, By no means, Lord: for never yet hath any thing common or unclean entered into my mouth.

¹⁴ I know, and am convinced by the Lord Jesus, that there is nothing unclean of itself; but to him who thinketh any thing to be unclean, to him it is unclean.

² Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? for they wash not their hands when they eat bread? ³ And he answering said to them, And why do you transgress the command of God, by your tradition? ⁴ For God commanded, saying "Honour thy father and thy mother:" and, He that curseth father or mother, let him surely die. ⁵ But ye say, If any man declare to his father or mother, This is a [devoted] gift, which else might have been employed by me for thy advantage; ⁶ then he shall not with it honour his father and mother: so have ye vacated the command of God by your tradition.

⁵ Then the Pharisees and the scribes asked him, Why do not thy disciples walk conformable to the tradition of the elders, but eat bread with unwashed hands?

⁷ Now vainly do they worship me, while teaching doctrines the commandments of men." ⁸ For leaving the command of God, ye adhere to the tradition of men, the washings of pots and cups; and many other such like things ye practise. ⁹ And he said to them, Strangely do ye make void the command of God, that ye may observe your tradition. ¹⁰ For Moses said, "Honour thy father and thy mother:" and "he that curseth father or mother, let him assuredly be put to death."

⁷ Ye hypocrites, well hath Isaiah prophesied concerning you, saying, ⁸ This people draweth nigh to me with their mouths, and honoureth me with the lips, but their heart is far distant from me. ⁹ But in vain do they worship me, teaching doctrines the commandments of men.

¹³ Wo unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye shut up the kingdom of heaven from men; for ye yourselves enter not in, and those who were coming in, ye suffer not to enter. ¹⁴ Wo unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayers: wherefore ye shall receive greater condemnation. ¹⁵ Wo unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte; and when he is gained, ye make him doubly more the child of hell than yourselves.

³⁹ Then said the Lord unto him, Now ye Pharisees make the outside of the cup and of the dish clean, but your inward parts are full of extortion and wickedness. ⁴⁰ Ye senseless men! did not he who made that which is without, make also that which is within? ⁴¹ But give what is within them for alms; and, lo! all will be pure unto you. ⁴² But wo to you, Pharisees, because ye tithe mint, and rue, and every herb, and pass by judgment and the love of God. These ought ye to have done, and not to have omitted the other. ⁴³ Wo unto you, Pharisees, for ye love the first seats in the synagogues, and salutations in the places of public concourse. ⁴⁴ Wo unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are as graves concealed, which men, while walking over them, see not.

⁵⁴ Jesus answered, If I assume glory to myself, my glory is nothing: it is the Father who glorifies me; of whom ye say, that he is your God: ⁵⁵ yet have ye not known him; but I know him: and if I should say, that I know him not, I should be like you, a liar: but I know him, and observe his word.

²⁴ If I had not done among them the works which no other ever did, they would not have had sin: but now they have both seen and hated both me and my Father.

²⁵ So being divided in sentiment among themselves, they broke up, Paul adding one word, That well had the Holy Ghost spoken by Isaiah the prophet unto our fathers,

⁵ holding the form of godliness, but denying the power of it: from these men turn with aversion.

¹⁶ They profess to know God; but in works deny him, being abominable and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.

¹⁴ What is the advantage, my brethren, if a man profess to have faith, but hath not works; can faith save him? ¹⁵ Now if a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food, ¹⁶ and should one of you say to them, Go in peace, be warm, be replenished with food: yet if ye give them not the necessaries for their body; what doth it avail? ¹⁷ So also faith, if it hath not works, is dead itself.

⁷ And when thou art at prayer, use not vain repetitions, like the heathen: for they imagine that they shall be heard for their much speaking.

⁹ But in vain do they worship me, teaching doctrines the commandments of men.

¹⁴ and if Christ be not risen, vain indeed is our preaching, and vain also your faith.

⁵⁸ Wherefore, my beloved brethren, be stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.

²² (all which things tend to corruption by abuse) according to the injunctions and doctrines of men?

¹ NOW the Spirit speaketh expresly, that in the latter days some will apostatise from the faith, giving heed to spirits of delusion, and doctrines of devils; ² men who teach lies with hypocrisy; and have their own consciences cauterised; ³ prohibiting marriage, and enjoining abstinence from particular meats, which God created to be received with thanksgiving by the faithful, and those who acknowledge the truth.

⁹ But foolish disquisitions, and genealogies, and disputes, and contentions about the law avoid; for they are unprofitable and vain.

²⁶ If any man thinks he is a religious character among you, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion is vain.

²⁰ But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?

¹¹ and the smoke of their torment ascendeth for ever and ever: and they have no respite day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the brand of his name. ¹² Here is the patience of the saints: here are they who keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.

¹⁸ For I testify to every one who heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man add to these things, God will lay upon him the plagues that are written in this book:

³ For the Pharisees and all the Jews, unless they wash their hands to the wrist, eat not, holding the tradition of the elders. ⁴ And coming from the market, unless they have washed, they never eat. And there are many other things which they have by tradition received to observe, as the washings of cups, and pots, and vessels of brass, and couches.

³ For the Pharisees and all the Jews, unless they wash their hands to the wrist, eat not, holding the tradition of the elders.

³¹ Do we then abolish the law through faith? God forbid: but on the contrary, we give the law stability.

²¹ I do not set at nought the grace of God; for if righteousness came by the law, truly Christ hath died in vain.

⁴ who opposeth himself against, and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or is the object of adoration; so that he in the temple of God sitteth as God, exhibiting himself in public that he is God.

⁴ For God commanded, saying "Honour thy father and thy mother:" and, He that curseth father or mother, let him surely die.

¹⁹ Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery; Do not murder; Do not steal; Do not bear false witness; Honour thy father and mother.

⁵ But ye say, If any man declare to his father or mother, This is a [devoted] gift, which else might have been employed by me for thy advantage;

¹⁸ And again, Whosoever shall swear by the altar, it is nothing; but whosoever shall swear by the gift that is upon it, it is binding.

⁴ But if any widow has children or grandchildren, let them learn as their first duty to shew their piety towards their own family, and make a grateful return to their progenitors: for this is becoming and acceptable before God. ⁵ But she who is a widow indeed, and abandoned to solitude, hopeth in God, and continueth in supplications and prayers night and day. ⁶ But she who lives voluptuously is dead, though she liveth. ⁷ And these things inculcate, that they may be blameless. ⁸ But if any man provide not for his own relations, and especially for those more immediately of his own family, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel.

¹⁷ Think not that I am come to destroy the law and the prophets: I came not to destroy, but to fulfil. ¹⁸ For I tell you assuredly, that till heaven and earth pass away, not one iota, or the smallest stroke of a letter, shall pass from the law, until all things shall be accomplished. ¹⁹ Whosoever therefore shall break one of the least of these commandments, and teach men so, he shall be accounted the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall practise, and teach them, he shall be reckoned great in the kingdom of heaven. ²⁰ For I say unto you, That except your righteousness abounds more than that of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no wise enter into the kingdom of heaven.

⁶ then he shall not with it honour his father and mother: so have ye vacated the command of God by your tradition.

⁹ And he said to them, Strangely do ye make void the command of God, that ye may observe your tradition.

²¹ envyings, murders, drunkenness, revels, and the like of these, concerning which I tell you now, as I have told you already, that they who live in such practices shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

¹⁴ not attending to Jewish fables, and injunctions of men, who have turned away from the truth.

¹⁰ And he called to him the multitude, and said unto them, Hear, and understand:

¹ MEANTIME myriads of people collecting, so that they trod on one another, he began to speak to his disciples, Take heed principally of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.

⁵⁴ Then said he to the multitudes, When ye see a cloud rising from the west, ye say immediately, There cometh a shower; and it is so. ⁵⁵ And when the south wind gently blows, ye say, It will be sultry hot; and so it is. ⁵⁶ Ye hypocrites! ye know how to discern by experience from the appearance of the earth and of the sky; but how is it that ye do not discern this particular time? ⁵⁷ And why even of yourselves do ye not decide what is just?

⁴⁵ And whilst all the people were hearkening, he said to his disciples, ⁴⁶ Beware of the scribes, who desire to walk about in trailing robes, and love salutations in the public places, and the principal seats in the synagogues, and the most honourable couch at suppers; ⁴⁷ who devour the houses of widows, and for a pretext make long prayers: these shall receive a more abundant punishment.

³⁰ Then Philip running up to him, heard him reading the prophet Isaiah; and he said, Well! but dost thou understand what thou art reading?

³⁴ Ye broods of vipers, how can ye speak good things, yourselves being wicked? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.

¹⁶ And Jesus said, Are ye also to this time destitute of intelligence?

¹⁸ And he saith to them, Are ye also so defective of intelligence? Do you not consider, that every thing from without that entereth into a man, cannot make him unclean? ¹⁹ because it entereth not into his heart, but into his belly, and goeth out into the vault, carrying off all the impurities of the food. ²⁰ But, said he, what cometh out of a man, that makes a man unclean. ²¹ For from within out of the heart of men proceed wicked reasonings, adulteries, whoredoms, murders, ²² thefts, inordinate cravings, mischievous actions, knavery, lewdness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, folly: ²³ all these wicked things come from within, and render a person unclean.

¹⁴ But Peter said, By no means, Lord for I have never at any time eaten of any thing common or unclean. ¹⁵ And the voice again a second time came to him, What God hath cleansed, call not thou unclean. ¹⁶ This was thrice repeated: and the vessel was again taken up into heaven.

⁸ But I said, By no means, Lord: for never yet hath any thing common or unclean entered into my mouth. ⁹ But the voice replied the second time from heaven, What God hath cleansed, call not thou common. ¹⁰ Now this was repeated thrice: and the whole withdrawn again into heaven.

²⁰ but that we write to them, that they abstain from pollutions of idol [sacrifices], and from whoredom, and from what is strangled, and from blood. ²¹ For Moses for ages past in every city hath those who preach him, being read in the synagogues every sabbath-day.

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

²⁵ Every thing which is sold in the shambles eat, asking no question for conscience sake;

³ prohibiting marriage, and enjoining abstinence from particular meats, which God created to be received with thanksgiving by the faithful, and those who acknowledge the truth. ⁴ For every creature of God is good, and none to be rejected, if used with thanksgiving: ⁵ for it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.

¹⁵ All things indeed are clean to the clean: but to the defiled and to the unbelievers there is nothing clean; but their very mind and conscience are defiled.

⁹ Be not tossed about by various and strange doctrines: for it is good to have the heart firmly established by grace, not by meats, in which observances they who have walked have found no manner of advantage.

¹⁵ He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

⁹ And he said unto them, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

²³ If any man hath ears to hear, let him hear.

⁷ He that hath ears, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches, To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God.

¹¹ He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches. He that overcometh shall receive no injury from the second death.

¹⁷ He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches, To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and I will give him a white pebble, and upon the pebble a new name inscribed, which no man knoweth except the person who receiveth it.

²⁹ He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.

⁶ He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.

¹³ He that hath an ear to hear, let him ear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.

²² He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.

¹⁰ And when his disciples came, they said to him, Why speakest thou to them in parables?

³⁶ Then Jesus dismissing the multitudes, went into a house; and his disciples came unto him, saying, Explain to us the parable of the zizane of the field.

¹⁵ Then Peter answering said unto him, Explain to us this parable.

¹⁰ But when they were alone, those who were about him with the twelve, asked him the meaning of the parable.

³⁴ And without a parable spake he not unto them; but in private he explained them all to his disciples.

²⁸ And when he was come into the house, the disciples asked him privately, Why could not we cast it out?

¹⁶ And Jesus said, Are ye also to this time destitute of intelligence? ¹⁷ Do ye not observe, that every thing which entereth into the mouth passeth into the belly, and is ejected into the vault?

¹¹ How is it that ye do not understand, that I spake not to you of bread, to beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees?

¹³ And he saith to them, Know ye not this parable? and how will ye know all parables?

²⁵ And he said unto them, O ye void of understanding, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken!

¹⁰ Jesus answered and said to him, Art thou a teacher of Israel, and knowest not these things?

² And I have given you milk to drink, and not meat: for hitherto ye have not been capable of it, yea, even to the present moment ye are not capable of it.

¹¹ Concerning whom we have much to discourse, and of difficult interpretation to explain, seeing ye are dull of hearing.

¹⁷ Do ye not observe, that every thing which entereth into the mouth passeth into the belly, and is ejected into the vault?

⁴¹ But give what is within them for alms; and, lo! all will be pure unto you.

¹⁵ And the voice again a second time came to him, What God hath cleansed, call not thou unclean.

⁹ But the voice replied the second time from heaven, What God hath cleansed, call not thou common.

¹ HIM that is weak in faith take by the hand, and enter not into niceties of disputes. ² One man indeed thinketh he may eat all meats; another, who is weak, eateth vegetables. ³ Let not him that eateth despise him that eateth not, and let not him that eateth not judge him that eateth; for God hath accepted him. ⁴ Who art thou that judgest another man's servant? To his own master he standeth or falleth; but he shall be established: for God is able to establish him. ⁵ One man judgeth one day different from another day: another judgeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind. ⁶ He that observeth a day, to the Lord he observeth it; and he that observeth not a day, to the Lord he doth not observe it. He that eateth, to the Lord he eateth, for he giveth thanks to God; and he that eateth not, to the Lord he eateth not, and giveth thanks to God. ⁷ For no one of us liveth to himself, and no one dieth to himself. ⁸ For whether we live, to the Lord we live, and whether we die, to the Lord we die; whether therefore we live, or whether we die, we are the Lord's. ⁹ For to this end Christ both died, and rose again, and revived, that he might be the Lord both of the dead and of the living. ¹⁰ But thou, why judgest thou thy brother? And thou, why dost thou disparage thy brother? for we must all appear before the judgment-seat of Christ. ¹¹ For it is written, "As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall make confession to God." ¹² Assuredly then every one of us shall give an account of himself to God.

¹³ Meats are for the belly, and the belly for meats; but God will destroy both it and them. Now the body is not for whoredom, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body.

¹⁶ Let no man therefore judge you concerning what you eat, or what you drink, or the observance of a feast, or new moon, or the sabbaths;

²¹ eat not, nor talk, nor touch, ²² (all which things tend to corruption by abuse) according to the injunctions and doctrines of men?

³⁴ Ye broods of vipers, how can ye speak good things, yourselves being wicked? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh. ³⁵ A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth good things: and a wicked man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth evil things. ³⁶ But I tell you, That every idle word which men speak, for it shall they give an account in the day of judgment. ³⁷ For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.

¹⁵ There is nothing from without a man, that entering into him, can make him unclean: but the things which come out from him, these are the things which make a man unclean.

⁶ But he who derived not his genealogy from them, received tithes from Abraham, and blessed him who had the promises;

¹⁴ but every person is tempted, when by his own peculiar passion he is born away, and ensnared. ¹⁵ Then passion impregnated, bringeth forth sin, and sin reaching its consummation, bringeth forth death.

⁶ And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: in such manner is the tongue placed among our members, that it defileth all the body, and setteth on fire the circle of nature; and is set on fire of hell.

¹ FROM whence come wars and conflicts among you? spring they not from hence, even from your passions, which war in your members?

⁴ And Jesus, seeing their thoughts, said, wherefore do ye imagine evil things in your hearts?

¹⁹ for out of the heart proceed wicked reasonings, murders, adulteries, whoredoms, thefts, false testimonies, blasphemies:

²⁵ Wo unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye cleanse the outside of the cup, and of the dish, but within they are full of rapacity and intemperance. ²⁶ Thou blind Pharisee! cleanse first the inside of the cup and dish, that their outside may become clean also. ²⁷ Wo unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye resemble tombs whitewashed, which outwardly indeed appear specious, but within are full of dead men's bones, and all manner of impurity. ²⁸ And just so, ye without indeed appear to men righteous, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.

¹⁵ And he said unto them, Ye are they who affect to be righteous persons before men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men, is an abomination in the sight of God.

⁴ it remained unsold, was it not vested in thee? and when sold, was it not in thine own power? why then hast thou determined in thine heart to do this deed? thou hast not lied unto men, but unto God.

²² Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray to God, if haply this thought of thy heart may be forgiven thee.

⁵ For when we were in the flesh, the sinful passions excited by the law, wrought powerfully in our members, to bring forth fruit unto death.

⁸ But sin, seizing the opportunity by the law, wrought in me all concupiscence. For without the law sin is dead.

⁷ Because the propensity of the flesh is inimical against God: for it is not in subjection to the law of God, neither indeed can it be. ⁸ They then who are in the flesh, cannot please God.

¹⁹ Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are these: adultery, whoredom, impurity, lasciviousness, ²⁰ idolatry, magical charms, enmities, strifes, jealousies, animosities, quarrels, divisions, heresies, ²¹ envyings, murders, drunkenness, revels, and the like of these, concerning which I tell you now, as I have told you already, that they who live in such practices shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

³ For we ourselves also in time past were thoughtless, disobedient, erroneous, enslaved by various passions and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, hating one another.

⁴ are you not thus partial among yourselves, and form your decision from bad reasonings?

¹ FROM whence come wars and conflicts among you? spring they not from hence, even from your passions, which war in your members? ² Ye eagerly covet, yet have not: ye murder, and are envious, yet cannot obtain [your object]; ye wage war, but have not, because ye pray not. ³ Ye ask, and receive nothing, because ye ask vilely, in order to consume it on your sensual appetites.

² that he might not spend the remaining space of life in the flesh after human passions, but the divine will. ³ For the time past of life is enough for us to have wrought the will of the heathen, when we walked in all impurities, lewd appetites, excess of wine, revels, drinking-bouts, and abominable idolatries;

²³ But if thine eye be vitiated, thy whole body will be darkened. If therefore the light which is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!

¹⁵ Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with my own? Is thine eye evil, because I am good?

⁵ laying low proud reasonings, and every high thing which exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and making every thought captive to the obedience of Christ:

¹⁵ For such is the will of God, that by well doing ye hold under restraint the ignorance of foolish men:

⁵ In like manner, ye who are younger persons, be in subjection to your elders: but all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed from head to foot with humility: for God sets himself in opposition to the proud, but he giveth grace to the lowly.

¹⁸ And he saith to them, Are ye also so defective of intelligence? Do you not consider, that every thing from without that entereth into a man, cannot make him unclean?

¹⁷ If any man prophane the temple of God, him will God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.

⁸ In like manner also do these men, even when they dream, defile indeed the flesh, despise sovereignty, and revile dignities.

²⁸ So when he came into the house, the blind men came to him: and Jesus said to them, Believe ye that I am able to do this? They said unto him, Yes, Lord.

²¹ Wo unto thee, Chorazin! wo unto thee, Bethsaida! for if the miracles which had been wrought in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, long since would they have repented in sack-cloth and ashes.

²¹ And going forth thence, Jesus retired into the coasts of Tyre and Sidon. ²² And lo! a woman of Canaan coming out of these coasts, cried aloud, saying to him, Have mercy on me, Lord, Son of David: my daughter is a grievous demoniac. ²³ But he replied not a word to her. Then his disciples came and intreated him, saying, Send her away; for she is crying aloud after us. ²⁴ But he said in reply, I am not sent, save only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. ²⁵ Then she came, and worshiped him, saying, Lord, help me! ²⁶ But he answering said, It is not proper to take the children's bread and throw it to the dogs. ²⁷ And she said, True, Lord: yet even the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their master's table. ²⁸ Then Jesus answering said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith! be it unto thee even as thou desirest. And her daughter was cured from that hour.

¹ AND again he entered into Capernaum after some days: and it was heard, that he was in the house;

⁷ And Jesus retired with his disciples to the sea side; and a great multitude from Galilee followed him, and from Judea, ⁸ and from Jerusalem, and from Idumea, and from the farther side of Jordan; and they around Tyre and Sidon, a vast multitude, when they heard what wonders he did, came unto him.

³¹ And he said unto them, Come ye yourselves apart into a desert place, and repose a little while: for there were multitudes coming and going, so that they had not even time to eat. ³² And they went into a desert place in a vessel privately.

²⁵ In like manner also the good works [of some] are previously manifest; and it is not possible that what they have besides should be concealed.

²² And lo! a woman of Canaan coming out of these coasts, cried aloud, saying to him, Have mercy on me, Lord, Son of David: my daughter is a grievous demoniac.

⁴⁰ And there came to him a leper, beseeching him, and kneeling down to him, and saying unto him, If thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.

²² And, behold, there cometh to him one of the rulers of the synagogue, named Jairus; and seeing him, fell at his feet, ²³ and entreated him importunately, saying, My little daughter is at the last gasp; wilt thou come, and lay thy hands upon her, that she may recover, and she shall live.

³³ Then the woman, fearful and trembling, knowing what had been done in her, came and fell down before him, and told him all the truth.

¹⁷ And one of the people addressing him, said, Master, I have brought my son to thee, who hath a dumb spirit; ¹⁸ and wherever he seizeth him, he throws him into strong convulsions: and he foams at the mouth, and grinds his teeth, and pines away. And I spoke to thy disciples, that they should cast him out; and they were unable. ¹⁹ Then addressing him, he said, O faithless generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I bear with you? bring him to me. ²⁰ And they brought him unto him. And seeing him, instantly the spirit threw him into convulsions; and falling to the ground, he rolled about, foaming at the mouth. ²¹ And he asked his father, For how long a time hath this been the case with him? And he replied, From his infancy. ²² And often it hath cast him into the fire, and into water, to destroy him: but if thou art able, have compassion upon us, and help us. ²³ Then said Jesus unto him, This [is the point]: if thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.

¹⁶ and fell prostrate at his feet giving him thanks: and he was a Samaritan.

²⁵ And as Peter was entering, Cornelius met him, and falling at his feet, paid him homage. ²⁶ But Peter raised him up, saying, Arise; I also myself am a man.

⁸ And I John saw and heard these things. And when I had heard and seen, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel who shewed me these things. ⁹ And he said to me, See thou do it not; for I am a fellow-servant of thine, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of those who observe the words of this book: worship God.

²⁸ There is no more Jew or Gentile, there is no more slave or freeman, there is no more male or female: but ye are all one in Christ Jesus.

¹¹ Where there is no difference whether a man be Greek or Jew, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbarian or Scythian, slave or freeman: but Christ is all and in all.

⁶ Give not that which is holy to dogs, nor cast pearls before swine; lest they tread them under foot, and turning round tear you.

⁵ These twelve did Jesus send forth, commanding them, saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter not:

²¹ And he said to me, Go: for I will send thee forth to the Gentiles afar off.

⁸ Now I say that Jesus Christ was the minister of circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the promises made unto the fathers:

¹² that ye were at that time without Christ, alienated from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers to the covenants of promise, having no hope, and atheists in the world:

⁴⁵ that ye may be the children of your Father who is in heaven: for he causeth his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and tendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.

⁶ Then Jesus went with them. And when he was now not far from the house, the centurion dispatched towards him friends, saying to him, Lord, trouble not thyself: for I am not deserving that thou shouldest enter beneath my roof. ⁷ Therefore neither did I think myself worthy to come unto thee, but speak in a word, and my servant will be cured. ⁸ For I also am a man under authority, and have under my command soldiers; and I say to this man, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come hither, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it.

³⁰ but no sooner is this son of thine come, who hath devoured thy substance with whores, than thou hast killed for him the stall-fed steer. ³¹ And he said unto him, Son, thou art ever with me, and all my possessions are thine. ³² But it was right that we should rejoice, and be glad: for this thy brother was dead, and is alive again; and was lost, and is found.

¹⁷ If God then gave an equal gift to them even as to us, on believing on the Lord Jesus Christ; I, indeed, who was I, that I should be able to restrain God? ¹⁸ So when they heard these things they were satisfied, and glorified God, saying, Well! then hath God even to the Gentiles given repentance unto life.

²⁹ Is he the God of the Jews only, and is he not also of the Gentiles? Yes, verily, of the Gentiles also:

¹² For there is no difference between either Jew or Greek: for the same Lord of all is rich to all that call upon him.

⁸ Now I say that Jesus Christ was the minister of circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the promises made unto the fathers: ⁹ and that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy; as it is written, "For this cause will I confess unto thee among the Gentiles, and sing unto thy name."

¹² that ye were at that time without Christ, alienated from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers to the covenants of promise, having no hope, and atheists in the world: ¹³ but now in Christ Jesus, ye who formerly were far off, are become nigh by the blood of Christ. ¹⁴ For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of separation,

⁸ To me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ;

³ Blessed are the poor in spirit, for their's is the kingdom of heaven.

⁹ For I also am a man under authority, having under my command soldiers and I say to this soldier, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it. ¹⁰ And Jesus hearing him, marvelled, and said to those who were following, Verily I say unto you, not even in Israel have I found so great faith. ¹¹ And I say unto you, That many shall come from the east and from the west, and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven. ¹² But the children of the kingdom shall be cast into the outer darkness: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth. ¹³ And Jesus said to the centurion, Go; and as thou hast believed, be it to thee. And his servant was cured at that very hour.

⁸ he that practises sin is of the devil; for from the beginning the devil sinneth. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.

⁵⁰ Jesus saith to him, Go home; thy son liveth. And the man believed the word which Jesus had spoken, and went home. ⁵¹ And as he was now going down home, his servants met him, and told him, saying, Thy son is recovered! ⁵² Then inquired he of them the hour at which he began to amend? and they told him, It was yesterday, at the seventh hour, when the fever left him.

¹⁸ And as Jesus was walking by the sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea, for they were fishermen.

²⁵ And great multitudes followed him from Galilee, and Decapolis, and Jerusalem, and Judea, and from beyond Jordan.

²⁹ And departing thence, Jesus went to the sea-side of Galilee; and ascending a mountain, he sat down there. ³⁰ And great multitudes came to him, bringing with them the lame, blind, dumb, cripples, and many others, and cast them down at the feet of Jesus; and he cured them all: ³¹ insomuch that the multitude marvelled when they saw the dumb speaking, the cripples sound, the lame walking, and the blind restored to sight: and they glorified the God of Israel.

²⁰ And he went out, and began to publish in Decapolis, what great things Jesus had done for him: and all men marvelled.

²⁴ And rising, he departed thence into the confines of Tyre and Sidon; and entering into a house, desired that no man should know it: yet he could not be hid.

³² And when they were coming out, behold, they brought unto him a man, dumb, a demoniac. ³³ And when the devil was cast out, the dumb man spoke: and the multitudes marvelled, saying, Never at any time was the like to this seen in Israel.

²³ and entreated him importunately, saying, My little daughter is at the last gasp; wilt thou come, and lay thy hands upon her, that she may recover, and she shall live.

¹⁴ And he was casting out a devil, and it was dumb. And it came to pass, when the devil was gone out, the dumb person spake, and the people marvelled.

⁴⁰ And they derided him; but he thrusting them all out, took the father and the mother of the maiden, and those who were with him, and went in where the damsel was laid out.

²³ And he took the blind man by the hand, and led him without the city; and spitting on his eyes, he laid his hands upon him, and asked him if he saw aught.

⁶ So speaking, he spat on the ground, and made mud with the spittle, and anointed with the mud the eyes of the blind man; ⁷ and said to him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam, (which signifies, Sent.) Then he went and washed, and came seeing.

⁴¹ Then Jesus, moved with compassion, stretching out his hand, touched him, and said to him, I will; be thou cleansed.

⁴¹ And taking the hand of the damsel, he saith unto her, Talitha cumi! which is, being interpreted, Damsel, I say unto thee, arise!

⁴¹ And taking the five loaves and the two fishes, he looked up to heaven, and blessed, and brake the loaves, and gave them to the disciples, that they should set them before them, and the two fishes he divided among them all.

¹² And fetching a deep sigh from his very soul, he saith, Why seeketh this generation a sign? verily I tell you, no sign shall be given to this generation.

³⁴ And at the ninth hour, Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabacthani? which is, being interpreted, My God, my God, for what cause hast thou abandoned me?

¹⁴ And approaching, he touched the bier: and the bearers stood still; and he said, Young man, I say to thee, Arise.

⁴² And Jesus said unto him, Receive thy sight: thy faith hath saved thee.

⁴¹ And as he drew near, beholding the city, he wept over it,

³³ When Jesus then saw her weeping, and all the Jews who came with her lamenting, he groaned in spirit, and was himself greatly agitated:

³⁵ Jesus wept.

³⁸ Then Jesus again groaning in himself, cometh to the sepulchre. It was an excavation, and a stone lay upon it.

⁴¹ Then they removed the stone where the deceased was lying. And Jesus lifted his eyes upwards, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me!

⁴³ And when he had thus spoken, with a loud voice he cried, Lazarus, come forth!

¹ THESE things spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son may glorify thee:

³⁴ And Peter said to him, AEneas, Jesus the Messiah maketh thee whole: arise, and make thine own bed. And he arose immediately.

⁴⁰ But Peter putting them all out, fell upon his knees, and prayed; and turning to the body, said, Tabitha, arise! And she opened her eyes: and when she saw Peter, she sat up.

¹⁵ For we have not an high-priest incapable of a fellow-feeling with our infirmities, but one tempted in all points, in exact resemblance with ourselves, sin excepted.

⁵ The blind receive sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the poor have the gospel preached to them.

¹² And he arose instantly, and taking up his couch, went out before them all; so that they were all astonished, and glorified God, saying, We never before saw any thing like this.

⁴ And Jesus said to him, See thou tell no man; but go, shew thyself to the priest, and offer the gift which Moses commanded for a testimony unto them.

⁴⁴ and said to him, Take care, that thou speak not a word to any man: but go, shew thyself to the priest, and offer for thy purification, what Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them. ⁴⁵ But he going out, began to proclaim it much, and to publish abroad an account of it, so that he could no more openly come into the city; but was without in desert places; and they came to him from all parts of the country.

¹² And he repeatedly charged them, that they should not make him known.

⁴³ And he very strongly charged them that no person should know it; and ordered something to be given her to eat.

²⁶ And he sent him away unto his own house, saying, Neither enter thou into the city, nor speak to any in the city.

²⁷ And they were all in astonishment, so that they questioned one another, saying, What is this? what is this new doctrine? that with authority he commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey him?

⁴¹ And they were filled with the most reverential awe, and said one to another, What manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?

⁴² And immediately the damsel arose and walked about, for she was twelve years old. And they were astonished with vast astonishment.

⁵¹ And he went up to them into the vessel, and the wind ceased and they were beyond all imagination amazed in themselves, and lost in wonder.

⁴¹ And we indeed justly, for we receive deserved punishment for the crimes we have committed: but this man hath done nothing amiss.

⁷ And they were all amazed, and wondered, saying one to another, Are not all these who are speaking Galileans? ⁸ And how do we hear every man in our own peculiar dialect, in which from our birth we were brought up? ⁹ Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and they who inhabit Mesopotamia, and Judea, and Cappadocia, Pontus, and Asia, ¹⁰ and Phrygia, and Pamphylia, Egypt, and the parts of Lybia adjoining Cyrene, and the sojourners, who are Romans, both Jews and proselytes, ¹¹ Cretans and Arabians, we hear them speaking in our own several tongues the marvellous things of God. ¹² And they were all amazed, and much perplexed, and knew not what to think, saying one to another, What can this mean?

¹⁰ and they took notice of him, that it was the same person who had sat for alms at the Beautiful gate of the temple: and they were filled with astonishment and amazed at what had happened to him. ¹¹ But as the lame man that was cured held fast Peter and John, all the people ran together unto them into the portico called Solomon's, in vast amazement. ¹² Then Peter observing it, addressed himself to the people, Ye men of Israel, why marvel ye at this? or why gaze ye upon us, as if by our own power or piety we had enabled this man to walk? ¹³ The God of Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, the God of our fathers, hath glorified his Son Jesus; whom ye delivered up, and denied him in the presence of Pilate, when he had determined to release him.

¹¹ But when the multitudes beheld what Paul had done, they lifted up their voice, in the dialect of Lycaonia, saying, The gods in the form of mortals are come down to us.
