¹⁵ But when I halt they rejoice, and gather themselves together; the abjects gather themselves together against me, and those whom I know not; they tear me, and cease not; ¹⁶ With the profanest mockeries of backbiting they gnash at me with their teeth.

²⁵ Let them not say in their heart: 'Aha, we have our desire'; let them not say: 'We have swallowed him up.'

³ Trust in the LORD, and do good; dwell in the land, and cherish faithfulness.

¹⁸ (38:19) For I do declare mine iniquity; I am full of care because of my sin.

¹ (40:1) For the Leader. A Psalm of David. (40:2) I waited patiently for the LORD; and He inclined unto me, and heard my cry. ² (40:3) He brought me up also out of the tumultuous pit, out of the miry clay; and He set my feet upon a rock, He established my goings. ³ (40:4) And He hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God; many shall see, and fear, and shall trust in the LORD.

⁸ (40:9) I delight to do Thy will, O my God; yea, Thy law is in my inmost parts.'

⁹ (41:10) Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, who did eat of my bread, hath lifted up his heel against me.

¹⁴ (49:15) Like sheep they are appointed for the nether-world; death shall be their shepherd; and the upright shall have dominion over them in the morning; and their form shall be for the nether-world to wear away, that there be no habitation for it.

¹² (51:14) Restore unto me the joy of Thy salvation; and let a willing spirit uphold me. ¹³ (51:15) Then will I teach transgressors Thy ways; and sinners shall return unto Thee.

¹² (55:13) For it was not an enemy that taunted me, then I could have borne it; neither was it mine adversary that did magnify himself against me, then I would have hid myself from him.

¹² (55:13) For it was not an enemy that taunted me, then I could have borne it; neither was it mine adversary that did magnify himself against me, then I would have hid myself from him. ¹³ (55:14) But it was thou, a man mine equal, my companion, and my familiar friend;

¹³ (55:14) But it was thou, a man mine equal, my companion, and my familiar friend; ¹⁴ (55:15) We took sweet counsel together, in the house of God we walked with the throng.

¹⁴ (55:15) We took sweet counsel together, in the house of God we walked with the throng. ¹⁵ (55:16) May He incite death against them, let them go down alive into the nether-world; for evil is in their dwelling, and within them.

²¹ (55:22) Smoother than cream were the speeches of his mouth, but his heart was war; his words were softer than oil, yet were they keen-edged swords.

¹ (69:1) For the Leader; upon Shoshannim. A Psalm of David. (69:2) Save me, O God; for the waters are come in even unto the soul. ² (69:3) I am sunk in deep mire, where there is no standing; I am come into deep waters, and the flood overwhelmeth me. ³ (69:4) I am weary of my crying; my throat is dried; mine eyes fail while I wait for my God. ⁴ (69:5) They that hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of my head; they that would cut me off, being mine enemies wrongfully, are many; should I restore that which I took not away? ⁵ (69:6) O God, Thou knowest my folly; and my trespasses are not hid from Thee. ⁶ (69:7) Let not them that wait for Thee be ashamed through me, O Lord GOD of hosts; let not those that seek Thee be brought to confusion through me, O God of Israel. ⁷ (69:8) Because for Thy sake I have borne reproach; confusion hath covered my face.

⁷ (69:8) Because for Thy sake I have borne reproach; confusion hath covered my face. ⁸ (69:9) I am become a stranger unto my brethren, and an alien unto my mother's children.

⁸ (69:9) I am become a stranger unto my brethren, and an alien unto my mother's children. ⁹ (69:10) Because zeal for Thy house hath eaten me up, and the reproaches of them that reproach Thee are fallen upon me.

⁹ (69:10) Because zeal for Thy house hath eaten me up, and the reproaches of them that reproach Thee are fallen upon me. ¹⁰ (69:11) And I wept with my soul fasting, and that became unto me a reproach.

¹⁰ (69:11) And I wept with my soul fasting, and that became unto me a reproach. ¹¹ (69:12) I made sackcloth also my garment, and I became a byword unto them.

¹¹ (69:12) I made sackcloth also my garment, and I became a byword unto them. ¹² (69:13) They that sit in the gate talk of me; and I am the song of the drunkards.

¹² (69:13) They that sit in the gate talk of me; and I am the song of the drunkards. ¹³ (69:14) But as for me, let my prayer be unto Thee, O LORD, in an acceptable time; O God, in the abundance of Thy mercy, answer me with the truth of Thy salvation. ¹⁴ (69:15) Deliver me out of the mire, and let me not sink; let me be delivered from them that hate me, and out of the deep waters.

¹⁴ (69:15) Deliver me out of the mire, and let me not sink; let me be delivered from them that hate me, and out of the deep waters. ¹⁵ (69:16) Let not the waterflood overwhelm me, neither let the deep swallow me up; and let not the pit shut her mouth upon me.

¹⁵ (69:16) Let not the waterflood overwhelm me, neither let the deep swallow me up; and let not the pit shut her mouth upon me. ¹⁶ (69:17) Answer me, O LORD, for Thy mercy is good; according to the multitude of Thy compassions turn Thou unto me.

¹⁶ (69:17) Answer me, O LORD, for Thy mercy is good; according to the multitude of Thy compassions turn Thou unto me. ¹⁷ (69:18) And hide not Thy face from Thy servant; for I am in distress; answer me speedily.

¹⁷ (69:18) And hide not Thy face from Thy servant; for I am in distress; answer me speedily. ¹⁸ (69:19) Draw nigh unto my soul, and redeem it; ransom me because of mine enemies.

¹⁸ (69:19) Draw nigh unto my soul, and redeem it; ransom me because of mine enemies. ¹⁹ (69:20) Thou knowest my reproach, and my shame, and my confusion; mine adversaries are all before Thee. ²⁰ (69:21) Reproach hath broken my heart; and I am sore sick; and I looked for some to show compassion, but there was none; and for comforters, but I found none. ²¹ (69:22) Yea, they put poison into my food; and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink. ²² (69:23) Let their table before them become a snare; and when they are in peace, let it become a trap. ²³ (69:24) Let their eyes be darkened, that they see not; and make their loins continually to totter. ²⁴ (69:25) Pour out Thine indignation upon them, and let the fierceness of Thine anger overtake them. ²⁵ (69:26) Let their encampment be desolate; let none dwell in their tents. ²⁶ (69:27) For they persecute him whom Thou hast smitten; and they tell of the pain of those whom Thou hast wounded. ²⁷ (69:28) Add iniquity unto their iniquity; and let them not come into Thy righteousness. ²⁸ (69:29) Let them be blotted out of the book of the living, and not be written with the righteous. ²⁹ (69:30) But I am afflicted and in pain; let Thy salvation, O God, set me up on high. ³⁰ (69:31) I will praise the name of God with a song, and will magnify Him with thanksgiving. ³¹ (69:32) And it shall please the LORD better than a bullock that hath horns and hoofs. ³² (69:33) The humble shall see it, and be glad; ye that seek after God, let your heart revive. ³³ (69:34) For the LORD hearkeneth unto the needy, and despiseth not His prisoners. ³⁴ (69:35) Let heaven and earth praise Him, the seas, and every thing that moveth therein. ³⁵ (69:36) For God will save Zion, and build the cities of Judah; and they shall abide there, and have it in possession. ³⁶ (69:37) The seed also of His servants shall inherit it; and they that love His name shall dwell therein.

⁴ We will not hide from their children, telling to the generation to come the praises of the LORD, and His strength, and His wondrous works that He hath done. ⁵ For He established a testimony in Jacob, and appointed a law in Israel, which He commanded our fathers, that they should make them known to their children; ⁶ That the generation to come might know them, even the children that should be born; who should arise and tell them to their children,

¹ (88:1) A Song, a Psalm of the sons of Korah; for the Leader; upon Mahalath Leannoth. Maschil of Heman the Ezrahite. (88:2) O LORD, God of my salvation, what time I cry in the night before Thee, ² (88:3) Let my prayer come before Thee, incline Thine ear unto my cry. ³ (88:4) For my soul is sated with troubles, and my life draweth nigh unto the grave. ⁴ (88:5) I am counted with them that go down into the pit; I am become as a man that hath no help; ⁵ (88:6) Set apart among the dead, like the slain that lie in the grave, whom Thou rememberest no more; and they are cut off from Thy hand. ⁶ (88:7) Thou hast laid me in the nethermost pit, in dark places, in the deeps. ⁷ (88:8) Thy wrath lieth hard upon me, and all Thy waves Thou pressest down. Selah ⁸ (88:9) Thou hast put mine acquaintance far from me; Thou hast made me an abomination unto them; I am shut up, and I cannot come forth. ⁹ (88:10) Mine eye languisheth by reason of affliction; I have called upon Thee, O LORD, every day, I have spread forth my hands unto Thee. ¹⁰ (88:11) Wilt Thou work wonders for the dead? Or shall the shades arise and give Thee thanks? Selah ¹¹ (88:12) Shall Thy mercy be declared in the grave? or Thy faithfulness in destruction? ¹² (88:13) Shall Thy wonders be known in the dark? and Thy righteousness in the land of forgetfulness? ¹³ (88:14) But as for me, unto Thee, O LORD, do I cry, and in the morning doth my prayer come to meet Thee. ¹⁴ (88:15) LORD, why castest Thou off my soul? Why hidest Thou Thy face from me? ¹⁵ (88:16) I am afflicted and at the point of death from my youth up; I have borne Thy terrors, I am distracted. ¹⁶ (88:17) Thy fierce wrath is gone over me; Thy terrors have cut me off. ¹⁷ (88:18) They came round about me like water all the day; they compassed me about together. ¹⁸ (88:19) Friend and companion hast Thou put far from me, and mine acquaintance into darkness.

¹¹ For He will give His angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways. ¹² They shall bear thee upon their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.

¹⁵ And wine that maketh glad the heart of man, making the face brighter than oil, and bread that stayeth man's heart.

⁶ 'Set Thou a wicked man over him; and let an adversary stand at his right hand. ⁷ When he is judged, let him go forth condemned; and let his prayer be turned into sin. ⁸ Let his days be few; let another take his charge. ⁹ Let his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow. ¹⁰ Let his children be vagabonds, and beg; and let them seek their bread out of their desolate places. ¹¹ Let the creditor distrain all that he hath; and let strangers make spoil of his labour. ¹² Let there be none to extend kindness unto him; neither let there be any to be gracious unto his fatherless children. ¹³ Let his posterity be cut off; in the generation following let their name be blotted out. ¹⁴ Let the iniquity of his fathers be brought to remembrance unto the LORD; and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out. ¹⁵ Let them be before the LORD continually, that He may cut off the memory of them from the earth.

¹ A Psalm of David. The LORD saith unto my lord: 'Sit thou at My right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool.'

⁴ He hath made a memorial for His wonderful works; the LORD is gracious and full of compassion.

¹³ I will lift up the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of the LORD.

¹¹⁶ Uphold me according unto Thy word, that I may live; and put me not to shame in my hope. ¹¹⁷ Support Thou me, and I shall be saved; and I will occupy myself with Thy statutes continually.

¹³³ Order my footsteps by Thy word; and let not any iniquity have dominion over me.

⁵ They that sow in tears shall reap in joy. ⁶ Though he goeth on his way weeping that beareth the measure of seed, he shall come home with joy, bearing his sheaves.

¹ A Song of Ascents. Out of the depths have I called Thee, O LORD.

¹ A Song of Ascents. Out of the depths have I called Thee, O LORD. ² Lord, hearken unto my voice; let Thine ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications.

² Lord, hearken unto my voice; let Thine ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications. ³ If Thou, LORD, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who could stand? ⁴ For with Thee there is forgiveness, that Thou mayest be feared.

¹ A Psalm of David. O LORD, hear my prayer, give ear to my supplications; in Thy faithfulness answer me, and in Thy righteousness. ² And enter not into judgment with Thy servant; for in Thy sight shall no man living be justified. ³ For the enemy hath persecuted my soul; he hath crushed my life down to the ground; he hath made me to dwell in darkness, as those that have been long dead. ⁴ And my spirit fainteth within me; my heart within me is appalled.

⁶ I spread forth my hands unto Thee; my soul thirsteth after Thee, as a weary land. Selah ⁷ Answer me speedily, O LORD, my spirit faileth; hide not Thy face from me; lest I become like them that go down into the pit.

⁴ Give not sleep to thine eyes, nor slumber to thine eyelids. ⁵ Deliver thyself as a gazelle from the hand of the hunter, and as a bird from the hand of the fowler. ⁶ Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise; ⁷ Which having no chief, overseer, or ruler, ⁸ Provideth her bread in the summer, and gatherest her food in the harvest. ⁹ How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard? When wilt thou arise out of thy sleep? ¹⁰ 'Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep' - ¹¹ So shall thy poverty come as a runner, and thy want as an armed man.

⁶ Forsake all thoughtlessness, and live; and walk in the way of understanding.

²⁰ He that walketh with wise men shall be wise; but the companion of fools shall smart for it.

⁶ Faithful are the wounds of a friend; but the kisses of an enemy are importunate.

²⁶ He that trusteth in his own heart is a fool; but whoso walketh wisely, he shall escape.

⁸ Remove far from me falsehood and lies; give me neither poverty nor riches; feed me with mine allotted bread; ⁹ Lest I be full, and deny, and say: 'Who is the LORD?' Or lest I be poor, and steal, and profane the name of my God.

⁶ Give strong drink unto him that is ready to perish, and wine unto the bitter in soul; ⁷ Let him drink, and forget his poverty, and remember his misery no more.

⁴ Draw me, we will run after thee; the king hath brought me into his chambers; we will be glad and rejoice in thee, we will find thy love more fragrant than wine! sincerely do they love thee.

¹ I am come into my garden, my sister, my bride; I have gathered my myrrh with my spice; I have eaten my honeycomb with my honey; I have drunk my wine with my milk. Eat, O friends; drink, yea, drink abundantly, O beloved.

⁹ They drink not wine with a song; strong drink is bitter to them that drink it. ¹⁰ Broken down is the city of wasteness; every house is shut up, that none may come in. ¹¹ There is a crying in the streets amidst the wine; all joy is darkened, the mirth of the land is gone.

⁶ And in this mountain will the LORD of hosts make unto all peoples a feast of fat things, a feast of wines on the lees, of fat things full of marrow, of wines on the lees well refined.

⁷ Thus saith the LORD, the Redeemer of Israel, his Holy One, to him who is despised of men, to him who is abhorred of nations, to a servant of rulers: Kings shall see and arise, princes, and they shall prostrate themselves; because of the LORD that is faithful, even the Holy One of Israel, who hath chosen thee.

⁶ I gave my back to the smiters, and my checks to them that plucked off the hair; I hid not my face from shame and spitting. ⁷ For the Lord GOD will help me; therefore have I not been confounded; therefore have I set my face like a flint, and I know that I shall not be ashamed.

¹⁷ Awake, awake, stand up, O Jerusalem, that hast drunk at the hand of the LORD the cup of His fury; thou hast drunken the beaker, even the cup of staggering, and drained it.

²² Thus saith thy Lord the LORD, and thy God that pleadeth the cause of His people: behold, I have taken out of thy hand the cup of staggering; the beaker, even the cup of My fury, thou shalt no more drink it again;

¹⁴ According as many were appalled at thee - so marred was his visage unlike that of a man, and his form unlike that of the sons of men -

¹ 'Who would have believed our report? And to whom hath the arm of the LORD been revealed? ² For he shot up right forth as a sapling, and as a root out of a dry ground; he had no form nor comeliness, that we should look upon him, nor beauty that we should delight in him. ³ He was despised, and forsaken of men, a man of pains, and acquainted with disease, and as one from whom men hide their face: he was despised, and we esteemed him not.

³ He was despised, and forsaken of men, a man of pains, and acquainted with disease, and as one from whom men hide their face: he was despised, and we esteemed him not. ⁴ Surely our diseases he did bear, and our pains he carried; whereas we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. ⁵ But he was wounded because of our transgressions, he was crushed because of our iniquities: the chastisement of our welfare was upon him, and with his stripes we were healed. ⁶ All we like sheep did go astray, we turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath made to light on him the iniquity of us all. ⁷ He was oppressed, though he humbled himself and opened not his mouth; as a lamb that is led to the slaughter, and as a sheep that before her shearers is dumb; yea, he opened not his mouth. ⁸ By oppression and judgment he was taken away, and with his generation who did reason? for he was cut off out of the land of the living, for the transgression of my people to whom the stroke was due. ⁹ And they made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich his tomb; although he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth.' ¹⁰ Yet it pleased the LORD to crush him by disease; to see if his soul would offer itself in restitution, that he might see his seed, prolong his days, and that the purpose of the LORD might prosper by his hand:

¹⁰ Yet it pleased the LORD to crush him by disease; to see if his soul would offer itself in restitution, that he might see his seed, prolong his days, and that the purpose of the LORD might prosper by his hand: ¹¹ Of the travail of his soul he shall see to the full, even My servant, who by his knowledge did justify the Righteous One to the many, and their iniquities he did bear. ¹² Therefore will I divide him a portion among the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the mighty; because he bared his soul unto death, and was numbered with the transgressors; yet he bore the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.

¹² Therefore will I divide him a portion among the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the mighty; because he bared his soul unto death, and was numbered with the transgressors; yet he bore the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.

¹ Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye for water, and he that hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price.

¹⁵ For thus saith the High and Lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy: I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones. ¹⁶ For I will not contend for ever, neither will I be always wroth; for the spirit that enwrappeth itself is from Me, and the souls which I have made. ¹⁷ For the iniquity of his covetousness was I wroth and smote him, I hid Me and was wroth; and he went on frowardly in the way of his heart. ¹⁸ I have seen his ways, and will heal him; I will lead him also, and requite with comforts him and his mourners.

²³ O LORD, I know that man's way is not his own; it is not in man to direct his steps as he walketh.

⁷ neither shall men break bread for them in mourning, to comfort them for the dead; neither shall men give them the cup of consolation to drink for their father or for their mother.

⁹ The heart is deceitful above all things, and it is exceeding weak - who can know it?

¹⁵ For thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel, unto me: Take this cup of the wine of fury at My hand, and cause all the nations, to whom I send thee, to drink it.

¹⁸ I have surely heard Ephraim bemoaning himself: 'Thou hast chastised me, and I was chastised, as a calf untrained; turn thou me, and I shall be turned, for Thou art the LORD my God.

¹⁸ I have surely heard Ephraim bemoaning himself: 'Thou hast chastised me, and I was chastised, as a calf untrained; turn thou me, and I shall be turned, for Thou art the LORD my God. ¹⁹ Surely after that I was turned, I repented, and after that I was instructed, I smote upon my thigh; I was ashamed, yea, even confounded, because I did bear the reproach of my youth.' ²⁰ Is Ephraim a darling son unto Me? Is he a child that is dandled? For as often as I speak of him, I do earnestly remember him still; Therefore My heart yearneth for him, I will surely have compassion upon him, saith the LORD.

³¹ Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah;

¹² 'Let it not come unto you, all ye that pass by! Behold, and see if there be any pain like unto my pain, which is done unto me, wherewith the LORD hath afflicted me in the day of His fierce anger.

⁵³ They have cut off my life in the dungeon, and have cast stones upon me. ⁵⁴ Waters flowed over my head; I said: 'I am cut off.' ⁵⁵ I called upon Thy name, O LORD, Out of the lowest dungeon. ⁵⁶ Thou heardest my voice; hide not Thine ear at my sighing, at my cry.

¹⁶ But they that shall at all escape of them, shall be on the mountains like doves of the valleys, all of them moaning, every one in his iniquity.

⁶³ that thou mayest remember, and be confounded, and never open thy mouth any more, because of thy shame; when I have forgiven thee all that thou hast done, saith the Lord GOD.'

³¹ Then shall ye remember your evil ways, and your doings that were not good; and ye shall loathe yourselves in your own sight for your iniquities and for your abominations. ³² Not for your sake do I this, saith the Lord GOD, be it known unto you; be ashamed and confounded for your ways, O house of Israel.

¹¹ Then He said unto me: 'Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel; behold, they say: Our bones are dried up, and our hope is lost; we are clean cut off.

³⁸ and wheresoever the children of men, the beasts of the field, and the fowls of the heaven dwell, hath He given them into thy hand, and hath made thee to rule over them all; thou art the head of gold.

⁴⁴ And in the days of those kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed; nor shall the kingdom be left to another people; it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, but it shall stand for ever.

²² (4:19) it is thou, O king, that art grown and become strong; for thy greatness is grown, and reacheth unto heaven, and thy dominion to the end of the earth. ²³ (4:20) And whereas the king saw a watcher and a holy one coming down from heaven, and saying: Hew down the tree, and destroy it; nevertheless leave the stump of the roots thereof in the earth, even in a band of iron and brass, in the tender grass of the field; and let it be wet with the dew of heaven, and let his portion be with the beasts of the field, till seven times pass over him - ²⁴ (4:21) this is the interpretation, O king, and it is the decree of the Most High, which is come upon my lord the king,

¹³ I saw in the night visions, and, behold, there came with the clouds of heaven one like unto a son of man, and he came even to the Ancient of days, and he was brought near before Him. ¹⁴ And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all the peoples, nations, and languages should serve him; his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed.

²⁴ Seventy weeks are decreed upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sin, and to forgive iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal vision and prophet, and to anoint the most holy place. ²⁵ Know therefore and discern, that from the going forth of the word to restore and to build Jerusalem unto one anointed, a prince, shall be seven weeks; and for threescore and two weeks, it shall be built again, with broad place and moat, but in troublous times. ²⁶ And after the threescore and two weeks shall an anointed one be cut off, and be no more; and the people of a prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; but his end shall be with a flood; and unto the end of the war desolations are determined.

¹⁶ And, behold, one like the similitude of the sons of men touched my lips; then I opened my mouth, and spoke and said unto him that stood before me: 'O my lord, by reason of the vision my pains are come upon me, and I retain no strength. ¹⁷ For how can this servant of my lord talk with this my lord? for as for me, straightway there remained no strength in me, neither was there breath left in me.' ¹⁸ Then there touched me again one like the appearance of a man, and he strengthened me. ¹⁹ And he said: 'O man greatly beloved, fear not! peace be unto thee, be strong, yea, be strong.' And when he had spoken unto me, I was strengthened, and said: 'Let my lord speak; for thou hast strengthened me.'

¹ And as for me, in the first year of Darius the Mede, I stood up to be a supporter and a stronghold unto him.

⁸ How shall I give thee up, Ephraim? How shall I surrender thee, Israel? How shall I make thee as Admah? How shall I set thee as Zeboim? My heart is turned within Me, My compassions are kindled together.

⁹ For, lo, I will command, and I will sift the house of Israel among all the nations, like as corn is sifted in a sieve, yet shall not the least grain fall upon the earth.

⁶ So the shipmaster came to him, and said unto him: 'What meanest thou that thou sleepest? arise, call upon thy God, if so be that God will think upon us, that we perish not.'

² (2:3) And he said: I called out of mine affliction unto the LORD, and He answered me; out of the belly of the nether-world cried I, and Thou heardest my voice. ³ (2:4) For Thou didst cast me into the depth, in the heart of the seas, and the flood was round about me; all Thy waves and Thy billows passed over me.

¹ (4:14) Now shalt thou gather thyself in troops, O daughter of troops; they have laid siege against us; they smite the judge of Israel with a rod upon the cheek.

⁵ Trust ye not in a friend, put ye not confidence in a familiar friend; keep the doors of thy mouth from her that lieth in thy bosom. ⁶ For the son dishonoureth the father, the daughter riseth up against her mother, the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; a man's enemies are the men of his own house.

¹ And he showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the LORD, and Satan standing at his right hand to accuse him. ² And the LORD said unto Satan: 'The LORD rebuke thee, O Satan, yea, the LORD that hath chosen Jerusalem rebuke thee; is not this man a brand plucked out of the fire?' ³ Now Joshua was clothed with filthy garments, and stood before the angel. ⁴ And he answered and spoke unto those that stood before him, saying: 'Take the filthy garments from off him.' And unto him he said: 'Behold, I cause thine iniquity to pass from thee, and I will clothe thee with robes.'

⁷ and, behold, there was lifted up a round piece of lead - and this is a woman sitting in the midst of the measure.' ⁸ And he said: 'This is Wickedness.' And he cast her down into the midst of the measure, and he cast the weight of lead upon the mouth thereof.

¹¹ As for thee also, because of the blood of thy covenant I send forth thy prisoners out of the pit wherein is no water.

¹⁵ The LORD of hosts will defend them; and they shall devour, and shall tread down the sling-stones; and they shall drink, and make a noise as through wine; and they shall be filled like the basins, like the corners of the altar.

¹⁷ For how great is their goodness, and how great is their beauty! Corn shall make the young men flourish, and new wine the maids.

¹² And I said unto them: 'If ye think good, give me my hire; and if not, forbear.' So they weighed for my hire thirty pieces of silver. ¹³ And the LORD said unto me: 'Cast it into the treasury, the goodly price that I was prized at of them.' And I took the thirty pieces of silver, and cast them into the treasury, in the house of the LORD.

¹⁰ And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplication; and they shall look unto Me because they have thrust him through; and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his first-born.

⁷ Awake, O sword, against My shepherd, and against the man that is near unto Me, saith the LORD of hosts; smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered; and I will turn My hand upon the little ones.

¹⁵ But Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer it now; for thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness. Then he suffereth him.

¹⁷ and lo, a voice out of the heavens, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.

³ And the tempter came and said unto him, If thou art the Son of God, command that these stones become bread.

⁶ and saith unto him, If thou art the Son of God, cast thyself down; for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee; and, On their hands they shall bear thee up, Lest haply thou dash thy foot against a stone.

¹⁰ Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee behind me, Satan; for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. ¹¹ Then the devil leaveth him, and behold, angels came and ministered unto him.

⁴ Blessed are they that mourn; for they shall be comforted.

²² but I say unto you, that every one who is angry with his brother without cause shall be in danger of the judgment, and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council, and whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of the hell of fire.

¹³ { And bring us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.

³¹ Be not therefore anxious, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? ³² For after all these things do the Gentiles seek, for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. ³³ But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you.

¹¹ And I say unto you, that many shall come from the east and the west, and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven;

⁹ Get you no gold, nor silver, nor brass in your purses, ¹⁰ no wallet for your journey, neither two coats, nor shoes, nor staves; for the laborer is worthy of his food.

²² And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake; but he that endureth to the end, the same shall be saved. ²³ But when they persecute you in this city, flee to the other; for verily I say unto you, Ye shall not have gone through the cities of Israel, till the Son of man be come. ²⁴ A disciple is not above his teacher, nor a servant above his lord. ²⁵ It is enough for the disciple that he be as his teacher, and the servant as his lord. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebul, how much more them of his household!

³³ But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father who is in heaven.

³ and said unto him, Art thou he that cometh, or look we for another? ⁴ And Jesus answered and said unto them, Go and tell John the things which ye hear and see; ⁵ the blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have good tidings preached to them.

¹⁴ But the Pharisees went out, and took counsel against him, how they might destroy him.

³¹ Therefore I say unto you, Every sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit shall not be forgiven unto men. ³² And whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him, but whosoever shall speak against the Holy Spirit, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in the present world, nor in that which is to come.

¹⁹ And he commanded the multitudes to sit down on the grass, and he took the five loaves, and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed, and brake and gave the loaves to the disciples, and the disciples to the multitudes.

¹⁸ And I also say unto thee, that thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it.

³ and said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye turn, and become as little children, ye shall in no wise enter into the kingdom of heaven.

³ and said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye turn, and become as little children, ye shall in no wise enter into the kingdom of heaven. ⁴ Whosoever therefore will humble himself as this little child, the same is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. ⁵ And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me;

²⁸ And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, that ye who have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit on the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

²⁸ And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, that ye who have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit on the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. ²⁹ And every one that hath left houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name's sake, shall receive a hundredfold, and shall inherit eternal life.

²⁰ Then came to him the mother of the sons of Zebedee with her sons, worshipping him, and asking a certain thing of him. ²¹ And he said unto her, What wouldest thou? She saith unto him, Command that these my two sons may sit, one on thy right hand, and one on thy left hand, in thy kingdom. ²² But Jesus answered and said, Ye know not what ye ask. Are ye able to drink the cup that I am about to drink, or to be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with? They say unto him, We are able.

²² But Jesus answered and said, Ye know not what ye ask. Are ye able to drink the cup that I am about to drink, or to be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with? They say unto him, We are able. ²³ He saith unto them, My cup indeed ye shall drink, and with the baptism that I am baptized, shall ye be baptized; but to sit on my right hand, and on my left hand, is not mine to give, but it is for them for whom it hath been prepared of my Father. ²⁴ And when the ten heard it, they were moved with indignation concerning the two brethren. ²⁵ But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Ye know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them. ²⁶ But it shall not be so among you; but whosoever would become great among you shall be your minister, ²⁷ and whosoever would be first among you, let him be your servant; ²⁸ even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.

²⁸ even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.

¹ And when they drew nigh unto Jerusalem, and came unto Bethsphage, unto the mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples,

³ And if any one say aught unto you, ye shall say, The Lord hath need of them, and straightway he will send them.

¹² And Jesus entered into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of he money-changers, and the seats of them that sold the doves, ¹³ and he saith unto them, It is written, My house shall be called a house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of robbers. ¹⁴ And the lame and the blind came to him in the temple, and he healed them. ¹⁵ But when the chief priests and the scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children crying in the temple and saying, Hosanna to the son of David, they were moved with indignation,

²³ And when he was come into the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came unto him as he was teaching, and said, By what authority doest thou these things? and who gave thee this authority?

³⁸ But the husbandmen, when they saw the son, said among themselves, This is the heir, come, let us kill him, and take his inheritance.

⁴⁵ And when the chief priests and the Pharisees heard his parables, they perceived that he spake of them. ⁴⁶ And when they sought to lay hold on him, they feared the multitudes, because they took him for a prophet.

⁴⁴ The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, Till I make thine enemies the footstool of thy feet?

⁸ But be not ye called Rabbi; for one is your teacher, even Christ, and all ye are brethren. ⁹ And call no man your father on the earth; for one is your Father, even he who is in heaven. ¹⁰ Neither be ye called masters; for one is your master, even the Christ. ¹¹ But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant. ¹² And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be humbled, and whosoever shall humble himself shall be exalted.

¹³ But he that endureth to the end, the same shall be saved.

⁴⁷ Verily I say unto you, that he will set him over all that he hath.

³⁴ Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world;

² Ye know that after two days the passover cometh, and the Son of man is delivered up to be crucified. ³ Then were gathered together the chief priests and the elders of the people, unto the court of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas,

³ Then were gathered together the chief priests and the elders of the people, unto the court of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas, ⁴ and they took counsel together that they might take Jesus by subtlety, and kill him. ⁵ But they said, Not during the feast, lest a tumult arise among people.

⁵ But they said, Not during the feast, lest a tumult arise among people.

¹⁴ Then one of the twelve, who was called Judas Iscariot, went unto the chief priests,

¹⁴ Then one of the twelve, who was called Judas Iscariot, went unto the chief priests, ¹⁵ and said, What are ye willing to give me, and I will deliver him unto you? And they weighed unto him thirty pieces of silver. ¹⁶ And from that time he sought opportunity to deliver him unto them. ¹⁷ Now on the first day of unleavened bread the disciples came to Jesus, saying unto him, Where wilt thou that we make ready for thee to eat the passover? ¹⁸ And he said, Go into the city to such a man, and say unto him, The Teacher saith, My time is at hand, I keep the passover at thy house with my disciples. ¹⁹ And the disciples did as Jesus appointed them, and they made ready the passover. ²⁰ Now when even was come, he was sitting at meat with the twelve disciples, ²¹ and as they were eating, he said, Verily I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me. ²² And they were exceeding sorrowful, and began every one of them to say unto him, Is it I, Lord?

²² And they were exceeding sorrowful, and began every one of them to say unto him, Is it I, Lord? ²³ And he answered and said, He that dipped his hand with me in the dish, the same shall betray me.

²³ And he answered and said, He that dipped his hand with me in the dish, the same shall betray me. ²⁴ The Son of man goeth, even as it is written of him; but woe unto that man through whom the Son of man is betrayed! good were it for that man if he had not been born.

²⁴ The Son of man goeth, even as it is written of him; but woe unto that man through whom the Son of man is betrayed! good were it for that man if he had not been born.

²⁶ And as they were eating, Jesus took the bread, and blessed, and brake it, and he gave to the disciples, and said, Take, eat, this is my body. ²⁷ And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave to them, saying, Drink ye all of it, ²⁸ for this is my blood, the blood of the new covenant, which is poured out for many unto remission of sins.

²⁸ for this is my blood, the blood of the new covenant, which is poured out for many unto remission of sins. ²⁹ But I say unto you, I shall not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father's kingdom. ³⁰ And when they had sung a hymn, they went out unto the mount of Olives.

³³ But Peter answered and said unto him, If all shall be offended in thee, yet will I never be offended. ³⁴ Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, that this night, before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice.

³⁴ Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, that this night, before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice. ³⁵ Peter saith unto him, Even if I must die with thee, yet shall I not deny thee. And likewise also said all the disciples. ³⁶ Then cometh Jesus with them unto a place called Gethsemane, and saith unto his disciples, Sit ye here, while I go yonder and pray.

³⁶ Then cometh Jesus with them unto a place called Gethsemane, and saith unto his disciples, Sit ye here, while I go yonder and pray. ³⁷ And he took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be sorrowful and sore troubled.

³⁷ And he took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be sorrowful and sore troubled. ³⁸ Then saith Jesus unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death; abide ye here, and watch with me.

³⁸ Then saith Jesus unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death; abide ye here, and watch with me. ³⁹ And coming forward a little, he fell on his face, and prayed, saying, My Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass away from me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as thou wilt.

³⁹ And coming forward a little, he fell on his face, and prayed, saying, My Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass away from me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as thou wilt. ⁴⁰ And he cometh unto the disciples, and findeth them sleeping, and saith unto Peter, What, could ye not watch with me one hour?

⁴⁰ And he cometh unto the disciples, and findeth them sleeping, and saith unto Peter, What, could ye not watch with me one hour?

⁴⁰ And he cometh unto the disciples, and findeth them sleeping, and saith unto Peter, What, could ye not watch with me one hour? ⁴¹ Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation; the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.

⁴¹ Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation; the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak. ⁴² Again a second time he went away, and prayed, saying, My Father, if this cup cannot pass away, except I drink it, thy will be done.

⁴² Again a second time he went away, and prayed, saying, My Father, if this cup cannot pass away, except I drink it, thy will be done. ⁴³ And he came again and found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy.

⁴³ And he came again and found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy. ⁴⁴ And he left them again, and went away, and prayed a third time, saying the same word.

⁴⁴ And he left them again, and went away, and prayed a third time, saying the same word. ⁴⁵ Then cometh he to his disciples, and saith unto them, Sleep on now, and take your rest; behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.

⁴⁵ Then cometh he to his disciples, and saith unto them, Sleep on now, and take your rest; behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners. ⁴⁶ Arise, let us be going; behold, he is at hand that betrayeth me.

⁴⁶ Arise, let us be going; behold, he is at hand that betrayeth me. ⁴⁷ And while he yet spake, lo, Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a great multitude with swords and staves, from the chief priest and elders of the people. ⁴⁸ Now he that betrayed him gave them a sign, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that is he; take him.

⁴⁸ Now he that betrayed him gave them a sign, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that is he; take him. ⁴⁹ And straightway he came to Jesus, and said, Hail, Rabbi, and kissed him.

⁴⁹ And straightway he came to Jesus, and said, Hail, Rabbi, and kissed him. ⁵⁰ And Jesus said unto him, Friend, wherefore art thou come? Then they came and laid hands on Jesus, and took him.

⁵⁰ And Jesus said unto him, Friend, wherefore art thou come? Then they came and laid hands on Jesus, and took him. ⁵¹ And behold, one of them that were with Jesus stretched out his hand, and drew his sword, and smote the servant of the high priest, and struck off his ear.

⁵¹ And behold, one of them that were with Jesus stretched out his hand, and drew his sword, and smote the servant of the high priest, and struck off his ear. ⁵² Then saith Jesus unto him, Put up again thy sword into its place; for all they that take the sword shall die with the sword.

⁵² Then saith Jesus unto him, Put up again thy sword into its place; for all they that take the sword shall die with the sword. ⁵³ Or thinkest thou that I cannot beseech my Father, and he shall even now send me more than twelve legions of angels?

⁵³ Or thinkest thou that I cannot beseech my Father, and he shall even now send me more than twelve legions of angels?

⁵⁴ How then should the scriptures be fulfilled that thus it must be? ⁵⁵ In that hour said Jesus to the multitudes, Are ye come out as against a robber with swords and staves to seize me? I sat daily in the temple teaching, and ye took me not.

⁵⁵ In that hour said Jesus to the multitudes, Are ye come out as against a robber with swords and staves to seize me? I sat daily in the temple teaching, and ye took me not. ⁵⁶ But all this is come to pass, that the scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled. Then all the disciples left him, and fled. ⁵⁷ And they that had taken Jesus led him away to the house of Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were gathered together. ⁵⁸ But Peter followed him afar off, unto the court of the high priest, and entered in, and sat with the officers, to see the end. ⁵⁹ Now the chief priests, and elders, and the whole council sought false witness against Jesus, that they might put him to death, ⁶⁰ and they found it not; yea, though many false witnesses came, yet found they none. ⁶¹ But afterward came two false witnesses, and said, This man said, I am able to destroy the temple of God, and to build it in three days. ⁶² And the high priest stood up, and said unto him, Answerest thou nothing? what is it which these witness against thee? ⁶³ But Jesus held his peace. And the high priest said unto him, I adjure thee by the living God, that thou tell us whether thou art the Christ, the Son of God. ⁶⁴ Jesus said unto him, Thou hast said; nevertheless I say unto you, Henceforth ye shall see the Son of man sitting at the right hand of Power, and coming on the clouds of heaven.

⁶⁴ Jesus said unto him, Thou hast said; nevertheless I say unto you, Henceforth ye shall see the Son of man sitting at the right hand of Power, and coming on the clouds of heaven. ⁶⁵ Then the high priest rent his garments, saying, He hath spoken blasphemy; what further need have we of witnesses? behold, now ye have heard the blasphemy:

⁶⁵ Then the high priest rent his garments, saying, He hath spoken blasphemy; what further need have we of witnesses? behold, now ye have heard the blasphemy: ⁶⁶ what think ye? They answered and said, He is worthy of death.

⁶⁶ what think ye? They answered and said, He is worthy of death. ⁶⁷ Then did they spit in his face and buffet him; and some smote him with the palms of their hands, ⁶⁸ saying, Prophesy unto us, thou Christ; who is he that struck thee? ⁶⁹ Now Peter was sitting without in the court; and a maid came unto him, saying, Thou also wast with Jesus the Galilaean.

⁶⁹ Now Peter was sitting without in the court; and a maid came unto him, saying, Thou also wast with Jesus the Galilaean. ⁷⁰ But he denied before them all, saying, I know not what thou sayest.

⁷⁰ But he denied before them all, saying, I know not what thou sayest. ⁷¹ And when he was gone out into the porch, another maid saw him, and saith unto them there, This man also was with Jesus of Nazareth.

⁷¹ And when he was gone out into the porch, another maid saw him, and saith unto them there, This man also was with Jesus of Nazareth. ⁷² And again he denied with an oath, I know not the man.

⁷² And again he denied with an oath, I know not the man. ⁷³ And after a little while they that stood by came and said to Peter, Of a truth thou also art one of them, for thy speech maketh thee known.

⁷³ And after a little while they that stood by came and said to Peter, Of a truth thou also art one of them, for thy speech maketh thee known. ⁷⁴ Then began he to curse and to swear, I know not the man. And straightway the cock crew.

⁷⁴ Then began he to curse and to swear, I know not the man. And straightway the cock crew.

⁷⁵ And Peter remembered the word which Jesus had said unto him, Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice. And he went out, and wept bitterly.

¹ Now when morning was come, all the chief priests and the elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put him to death:

³ Then Judas, who betrayed him, when he saw that he was condemned, repented himself, and brought back the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders, ⁴ saying, I have sinned in that I betrayed innocent blood. But they said, What is that to us? see thou to it. ⁵ And he cast down the pieces of silver into the sanctuary, and departed, and he went away and hanged himself.

⁵ And he cast down the pieces of silver into the sanctuary, and departed, and he went away and hanged himself.

¹¹ Now Jesus stood before the governor; and the governor asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And Jesus said unto him, Thou sayest.

²⁸ And they stripped him, and put on him a scarlet robe. ²⁹ And they platted a crown of thorns and put it upon his head, and a reed in his right hand, and they kneeled down before him, and mocked him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews! ³⁰ And they spat upon him, and took the reed and smote him on the head. ³¹ And when they had mocked him, they took off from him the robe, and put on him his garments, and led him away to crucify him.

³⁹ And they that passed by railed on him, wagging their heads,

³⁹ And they that passed by railed on him, wagging their heads, ⁴⁰ and saying, Thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days, save thyself; if thou art the Son of God, come down from the cross. ⁴¹ And in like manner also the chief priests mocking him, with the scribes and elders and Pharisees, said, ⁴² He saved others, himself he cannot save. If he is the King of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe on him. ⁴³ He trusteth on God, let him deliver him now, if he desireth him; for he said, I am the Son of God.

⁴³ He trusteth on God, let him deliver him now, if he desireth him; for he said, I am the Son of God. ⁴⁴ And the robbers also that were crucified with him cast upon him the same reproach.

⁵⁴ Now the centurion, and they that were with him watching Jesus, when they saw the earthquake, and the things that were done, feared exceedingly, saying, Truly this was the Son of God.

¹⁸ And Jesus came to them and spake unto them, saying, All authority hath been given unto me in heaven and on earth.

³⁰ And straightway Jesus, perceiving in himself that the power proceeding from him had gone forth, turned him about in the crowd, and said, Who touched my garments?

⁸ and he charged them that they should take nothing for their journey, save a staff only, no wallet, no bread, no money in their purse, ⁹ but to go shod with sandals; and, said he, Ye shall not put on two coats.

³⁰ And the apostles gather themselves together unto Jesus, and they told him all things, and whatsoever they had done, and whatsoever they had taught.

¹ And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, There are some here of them that stand by, who shall in no wise taste of death, till they see the kingdom of God come with power.

³⁴ But they held their peace; for they had disputed one with another on the way, who was the greatest. ³⁵ And he sat down, and called the twelve, and he saith unto them, If any man would be first, he shall be last of all, and servant of all.

³⁷ And they said unto him, Grant unto us that we may sit, one on thy right hand, and one on thy left hand, in thy glory. ³⁸ But Jesus said unto them, Ye know not what ye ask. Are ye able to drink the cup that I drink? and to be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with? ³⁹ And they said unto him, We are able. And Jesus said unto them, The cup that I drink ye shall drink, and with the baptism that I am baptized withal shall ye be baptized; ⁴⁰ but to sit on my right hand and on my left hand is not mine to give, but it is for them for whom it hath been prepared. ⁴¹ And when the ten heard it, they began to be moved with indignation concerning James and John.

⁴¹ And when the ten heard it, they began to be moved with indignation concerning James and John. ⁴² But Jesus called them to him, and saith unto them, Ye know that they who are accounted to rule over the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them. ⁴³ But it is not so among you; but whosoever would become great among you, shall be your minister, ⁴⁴ and whosoever of you would be first, shall be servant of all. ⁴⁵ For the Son of man also came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.

¹¹ And Jesus entered into Jerusalem, and into the temple, and when he had looked round about upon all things, it being now eventide, he went out unto Bethany with the twelve.

¹⁹ And every evening he went forth out of the city.

³ And as he sat on the mount of Olives over against the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him privately,

¹ Now after two days was the feast of the passover and the unleavened bread; and the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might take him with subtlety, and kill him: ² but they said, Not during the feast, lest haply there shall be a tumult of the people.

¹² And on the first day of unleavened bread, when they sacrificed the passover, his disciples say unto him, Where wilt thou that we go and make ready that thou mayest eat the passover? ¹³ And he sendeth two of his disciples, and saith unto them, Go into the city, and there shall meet you a man bearing a pitcher of water; follow him, ¹⁴ and wheresoever he shall enter in, say to the master of the house, The Teacher saith, Where is the guest-chamber, where I shall eat the passover with my disciples? ¹⁵ And he will himself show you a large upper room furnished and ready; and there make ready for us. ¹⁶ And his disciples went forth, and came into the city, and found as he had said unto them; and they made ready the passover. ¹⁷ And when it was evening he cometh with the twelve. ¹⁸ And as they sat and were eating, Jesus said, Verily I say unto you, One of you shall betray me, even he that eateth with me.

¹⁸ And as they sat and were eating, Jesus said, Verily I say unto you, One of you shall betray me, even he that eateth with me. ¹⁹ And they began to be sorrowful, and to say unto him one by one, Is it I? and another, Is it I?

²³ And he took the cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave to them; and they all drank of it. ²⁴ And he said unto them, This is my blood of the new covenant, which is poured out for many. ²⁵ Verily I say unto you, I shall no more drink of the fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new in the kingdom of God. ²⁶ And when they had sung a hymn, they went out unto the mount of Olives.

²⁹ But Peter said unto him, Although all shall be offended, yet will not I. ³⁰ And Jesus saith unto him, Verily I say unto thee, that thou to-day, even this night, before the cock crow twice, shalt deny me thrice. ³¹ But he spake the more vehemently, If I must die with thee, I shall not deny thee. And in like manner also said they all. ³² And they come unto a place which was named Gethsemane; and he saith unto his disciples, Sit ye here, while I pray.

³⁶ And he said, Abba, Father, all things are possible unto thee, remove this cup from me; howbeit not what I will, but what thou wilt. ³⁷ And he cometh, and findeth them sleeping, and saith unto Peter, Simon, sleepest thou? couldest thou not watch one hour?

⁴² Arise, let us be going; behold, he that betrayeth me is at hand. ⁴³ And straightway, while he yet spake, cometh Judas, one of the twelve, and with him a great multitude with swords and staves, from the chief priests and the scribes and the elders. ⁴⁴ Now he that betrayed him had given them a token, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that is he, take him, and lead him away safely.

⁴⁴ Now he that betrayed him had given them a token, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that is he, take him, and lead him away safely. ⁴⁵ And when he was come, straightway he came to him, and saith, Rabbi, Rabbi, and kissed him.

⁴⁵ And when he was come, straightway he came to him, and saith, Rabbi, Rabbi, and kissed him. ⁴⁶ And they laid their hands on him, and took him.

⁴⁶ And they laid their hands on him, and took him. ⁴⁷ But a certain one of them that stood by drew his sword, and smote the servant of the high priest, and struck off his ear.

⁴⁷ But a certain one of them that stood by drew his sword, and smote the servant of the high priest, and struck off his ear. ⁴⁸ And Jesus answered and said unto them, Are ye come out, as against a robber, with swords and staves to seize me?

⁴⁸ And Jesus answered and said unto them, Are ye come out, as against a robber, with swords and staves to seize me? ⁴⁹ I was daily with you in the temple teaching, and ye took me not; but this is done that the scriptures might be fulfilled.

⁴⁹ I was daily with you in the temple teaching, and ye took me not; but this is done that the scriptures might be fulfilled. ⁵⁰ And they all left him, and fled.

⁵³ And they led Jesus away to the high priest; and there come together with him all the chief priests and the elders and the scribes. ⁵⁴ And Peter had followed him afar off, even within, into the court of the high priest, and he was sitting with the officers, and warming himself in the light of the fire. ⁵⁵ Now the chief priests and the whole council sought witness against Jesus to put him to death, and found it not. ⁵⁶ For many bare false witness against him, and their witness agreed not together. ⁵⁷ And there stood up certain, and bare false witness against him, saying, ⁵⁸ We heard him say, I will destroy this temple that is made with hands, and in three days I will build another made without hands. ⁵⁹ And not even so did their witness agree together. ⁶⁰ And the high priest stood up in the midst, and asked Jesus, saying, Answerest thou nothing? what is it which these witness against thee? ⁶¹ But he held his peace, and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked him, and saith unto him, Art thou the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?

⁶¹ But he held his peace, and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked him, and saith unto him, Art thou the Christ, the Son of the Blessed? ⁶² And Jesus said, I am; and ye shall see the Son of man sitting at the right hand of Power, and coming with the clouds of heaven.

⁶² And Jesus said, I am; and ye shall see the Son of man sitting at the right hand of Power, and coming with the clouds of heaven.

⁶² And Jesus said, I am; and ye shall see the Son of man sitting at the right hand of Power, and coming with the clouds of heaven. ⁶³ And the high priest rent his clothes, and saith, What further need have we of witnesses?

⁶³ And the high priest rent his clothes, and saith, What further need have we of witnesses?

⁶³ And the high priest rent his clothes, and saith, What further need have we of witnesses? ⁶⁴ Ye have heard the blasphemy; what think ye? And they all condemned him to be worthy of death.

⁶⁴ Ye have heard the blasphemy; what think ye? And they all condemned him to be worthy of death.

⁶⁴ Ye have heard the blasphemy; what think ye? And they all condemned him to be worthy of death. ⁶⁵ And some began to spit on him, and to cover his face, and to buffet him, and to say unto him, Prophesy; and the officers struck him with blows of their hands.

⁶⁵ And some began to spit on him, and to cover his face, and to buffet him, and to say unto him, Prophesy; and the officers struck him with blows of their hands. ⁶⁶ And as Peter was beneath in the court, there cometh one of the maids of the high priest,

⁶⁶ And as Peter was beneath in the court, there cometh one of the maids of the high priest,

⁶⁶ And as Peter was beneath in the court, there cometh one of the maids of the high priest, ⁶⁷ and seeing Peter warming himself, she looked upon him, and saith, Thou also wast with the Nazarene, even Jesus.

⁶⁷ and seeing Peter warming himself, she looked upon him, and saith, Thou also wast with the Nazarene, even Jesus. ⁶⁸ But he denied, saying, I neither know, nor understand what thou sayest; and he went out into the porch, and a cock crew.

⁶⁸ But he denied, saying, I neither know, nor understand what thou sayest; and he went out into the porch, and a cock crew. ⁶⁹ And the maid saw him again, and began to say to them that stood by, This is one of them.

⁶⁹ And the maid saw him again, and began to say to them that stood by, This is one of them. ⁷⁰ But he again denied it. And after a little while again they that stood by said to Peter, of a truth thou art one of them, for thou art a Galilaean, and thy speech is like theirs.

⁷⁰ But he again denied it. And after a little while again they that stood by said to Peter, of a truth thou art one of them, for thou art a Galilaean, and thy speech is like theirs. ⁷¹ But he began to curse, and to swear, I know not this man of whom ye speak. ⁷² And a second time the cock crew. And Peter called to mind the word, how that Jesus said unto him, Before the cock crow twice, thou shalt deny me thrice. And when he thought thereon, he wept.

⁷² And a second time the cock crew. And Peter called to mind the word, how that Jesus said unto him, Before the cock crow twice, thou shalt deny me thrice. And when he thought thereon, he wept.

¹ And straightway in the morning the chief priests with the elders and scribes, and the whole council, held a consultation, and bound Jesus, and carried him away, and delivered him up to Pilate. ² And Pilate asked him, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he answering saith unto him, Thou sayest.

¹⁶ And the soldiers led him away within the court, which is the Praetorium, and they call together the whole band. ¹⁷ And they clothe him with purple, and platting a crown of thorns, they put it on him, ¹⁸ and they began to salute him, Hail, the King of the Jews! ¹⁹ And they smote his head with a reed, and spat upon him, and bowing their knees worshipped him. ²⁰ And when they had mocked him, they took off from him the purple, and put on him his own garments. And they lead him out to crucify him.

²³ And they offered him wine mingled with myrrh to drink; but he received it not.

²⁷ And with him they crucify two robbers, one on his right hand, and one on his left.

²⁷ And with him they crucify two robbers, one on his right hand, and one on his left. ²⁸ And the scripture was fulfilled, which saith, And he was reckoned with transgressors. ²⁹ And they that passed by railed on him, wagging their heads, and saying, Ha! Thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days, ³⁰ save thyself, and come down from the cross. ³¹ And in like manner also the chief priests mocking him among themselves with the scribes said, He saved others, himself he cannot save. ³² Let the Christ, the King of Israel, now come down from the cross, that we may see and believe on him. And they that were crucified with him reproached him.

⁷ But go, tell his disciples and Peter, He goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him, as he said unto you.

¹⁹ So then the Lord, after he had spoken unto them, was received up into heaven, and sat down at the right hand of God.

⁶ And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless.

¹⁰ for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee, to guard thee: ¹¹ and, On their hands they shall bear thee up, Lest haply thou dash thy foot against a stone.

⁴¹ And demons also came out from many, crying out, and saying, Thou art the Christ, the Son of God. And rebuking them, he suffered them not to speak, because they knew that he was the Christ.

¹⁶ and Judas the son of James, and Judas Iscariot, who became a traitor,

¹³ And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her, and said unto her, Weep not.

¹³ And those on the rock are they who, when they have heard, receive the word with joy, and these have no root, who for a while believe, and in time of temptation fall away.

³ And he said unto them, Take nothing for your journey, neither staff, nor wallet, nor bread, nor money, neither have two coats.

¹⁶ And he took the five loaves and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed them, and brake, and gave to the disciples to set before the multitude.

²⁷ But I tell you of a truth, There are some of them that stand here, who shall in no wise taste of death, till they see the kingdom of God.

⁴⁶ And there arose a reasoning among them, which of them was the greatest.

⁴⁸ and said unto them, Whosoever shall receive this little child in my name receiveth me; and whosoever shall receive me receiveth him that sent me; for he that is least among you all, the same shall be great.

⁴ Carry no purse, no wallet, no shoes, and salute no man on the way.

⁴¹ But Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art anxious and troubled about many things;

⁴ And forgive us our sins, for we ourselves also forgive every one that is indebted to us. And bring us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

⁹ but he that denieth me in the presence of men shall be denied in the presence of the angels of God. ¹⁰ And every one who shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him; but unto him that blasphemeth against the Holy Spirit it shall not be forgiven.

²⁹ And seek not ye what ye shall eat, and what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind. ³⁰ For all these things do the nations of the world seek after; but your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things. ³¹ Yet seek ye the kingdom of God, and all these things shall be added unto you. ³² Fear not, little flock, for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.

³⁷ Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching; verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them sit down to meat, and shall come and serve them.

⁵⁰ But I have a baptism to be baptized with, and how am I straitened till it be accomplished!

¹⁵ And when one of them that sat at meat with him heard these things, he said unto him, Blessed is he that shall eat dinner in the kingdom of God.

³¹ And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, if one rise from the dead.

⁷ But who is there of you, having a servant plowing or keeping sheep, that will say unto him, when he is come in from the field, Come straightway and sit down to meat, ⁸ and will not rather say unto him, Make ready wherewith I may sup, and gird thyself, and serve me, till I have eaten and drunken, and afterward thou shalt eat and drink? ⁹ Doth he thank the servant because he did the things that were commanded? I think not.

¹¹ The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as the rest of men, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican.

³¹ And he took unto him the twelve, and said unto them, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and all the things that are written through the prophets shall be accomplished unto the Son of man.

⁵ And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up, and saw him, and said unto him, Zacchaeus, make haste, and come down, for to-day I must abide at thy house.

¹⁷ And he said unto him, Well done, thou good servant; because thou wast found faithful in a very little, have thou authority over ten cities.

²⁹ And it came to pass, when he drew nigh unto Bethsphage and Bethany, at the mount that is called Olivet, he sent two of the disciples, ³⁰ saying, Go your way into the village over against you, in which as ye enter ye shall find a colt tied, whereon no man ever yet sat; loose him, and bring him. ³¹ And if any one ask you, Why do ye loose him? thus shall ye say, The Lord hath need of him.

³¹ And if any one ask you, Why do ye loose him? thus shall ye say, The Lord hath need of him. ³² And they that were sent went away, and found even as he had said unto them.

³² And they that were sent went away, and found even as he had said unto them. ³³ And as they were loosing the colt, the owners thereof said unto them, Why loose ye the colt? ³⁴ And they said, The Lord hath need of him.

³⁴ And they said, The Lord hath need of him. ³⁵ And they brought him to Jesus; and they threw their garments upon the colt, and set Jesus thereon. ³⁶ And as he went, they spread their garments in the way. ³⁷ And as he was now drawing nigh, even at the descent of the mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works which they had seen, ³⁸ saying, Blessed is the King that cometh in the name of the Lord; peace in heaven, and glory in the highest. ³⁹ And some of the Pharisees from the multitude said unto him, Teacher, rebuke thy disciples. ⁴⁰ And he answered and said, I tell you that, if these shall hold their peace, the stones will cry out.

⁴⁷ And he was teaching daily in the temple. But the chief priests and the scribes and the principal men of the people sought to destroy him: ⁴⁸ and they could not find what they might do, for the people all hung upon him, listening.

³ And he answered and said unto them, I also will ask you a question, and tell me; ⁴ The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or from men? ⁵ And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven, he will say, Why did ye not believe him? ⁶ But if we shall say, From men, all the people will stone us; for they are persuaded that John was a prophet. ⁷ And they answered, that they knew not whence it was.

¹⁹ And the scribes and the chief priests sought to lay hands on him in that very hour, and they were afraid; for they perceived that he spake this parable against them.

⁴¹ And he said unto them, How say they that the Christ is David's son? ⁴² For David himself saith in the book of Psalms, The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, ⁴³ Till I make thine enemies the footstool of thy feet. ⁴⁴ David therefore calleth him Lord, and how is he his son?

³¹ Even so ye also, when ye see these things coming to pass, know ye that the kingdom of God is nigh.

³³ Heaven and earth shall pass away; but my words shall not pass away. ³⁴ But take heed to yourselves, lest haply your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and that day come on you suddenly as a snare; ³⁵ for so shall it come upon all them that dwell on the face of all the earth. ³⁶ But watch ye at every season, making supplication, that ye may be counted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man. ³⁷ And every day he was teaching in the temple, and every night he went out, and lodged in the mount that is called Olivet.

³⁷ And every day he was teaching in the temple, and every night he went out, and lodged in the mount that is called Olivet. ³⁸ And all the people came early in the morning to him in the temple, to hear him.

¹ Now the feast of unleavened bread drew nigh, which is called the Passover.

³ And Satan entered into Judas who was surnamed Iscariot, being of the number of the twelve. ⁴ And he went away, and communed with the chief priests and captains, how he might deliver him unto them.

⁴ And he went away, and communed with the chief priests and captains, how he might deliver him unto them. ⁵ And they were glad, and covenanted to give him money. ⁶ And he consented, and sought opportunity to deliver him unto them in the absence of the multitude.

¹⁶ for I say unto you, I shall no more eat thereof, until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God.

¹⁶ for I say unto you, I shall no more eat thereof, until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God. ¹⁷ And he received a cup, and when he had given thanks, he said, Take this, and divide it among yourselves;

¹⁷ And he received a cup, and when he had given thanks, he said, Take this, and divide it among yourselves;

¹⁷ And he received a cup, and when he had given thanks, he said, Take this, and divide it among yourselves; ¹⁸ for I say unto you, I shall not drink of the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God shall come.

¹⁸ for I say unto you, I shall not drink of the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God shall come. ¹⁹ And he took bread, and when he had given thanks, he brake it, and gave to them, saying, This is my body which is given for you; this do in remembrance of me.

¹⁹ And he took bread, and when he had given thanks, he brake it, and gave to them, saying, This is my body which is given for you; this do in remembrance of me. ²⁰ And the cup in like manner after supper, saying, This cup is the new covenant in my blood, even that which is poured out for you.

²⁰ And the cup in like manner after supper, saying, This cup is the new covenant in my blood, even that which is poured out for you. ²¹ But behold, the hand of him that betrayeth me is with me on the table. ²² For the Son of man indeed goeth, as it hath been determined; but woe unto that man through whom he is betrayed!

³⁰ that ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and ye shall sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

³² but I made supplication for thee, that thy faith fail not, and do thou, when once thou hast turned again, establish thy brethren. ³³ And he said unto him, Lord, with thee I am ready to go both to prison and to death. ³⁴ And he said, I tell thee, Peter, the cock shall not crow this day, before that thou shalt thrice deny that thou knowest me.

³⁴ And he said, I tell thee, Peter, the cock shall not crow this day, before that thou shalt thrice deny that thou knowest me.

³⁸ And they said, Lord, behold, here are two swords. And he said unto them, It is enough.

⁴⁰ And when he was at the place, he said unto them, Pray that ye enter not into temptation.

⁴⁴ And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly, and his sweat became as it were great drops of blood falling down upon the ground.

⁴⁶ and said unto them, Why sleep ye? rise and pray, that ye enter not into temptation.

⁴⁹ And when they that were about him saw what would follow, they said, Lord, shall we smite with the sword?

⁵² And Jesus said unto the chief priests, and captains of the temple, and elders, that were come against him, Are ye come out, as against a robber, with swords and staves?

⁶¹ And the Lord turned, and looked upon Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how that he said unto him, Before the cock crow thou shalt deny me thrice. ⁶² And he went out, and wept bitterly.

³ And Pilate asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he answered him and said, Thou sayest.

³² And there were also two others, malefactors, led with him to be put to death.

²⁵ And he said unto them, O foolish men, and slow of heart to believe in all that the prophets have spoken! ²⁶ Behooved it not the Christ to suffer these things, and to enter into his glory? ²⁷ And beginning from Moses and from all the prophets, he interpreted to them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.

³⁰ And it came to pass, when he had sat down with them to meat, he took the bread and blessed, and breaking it he gave to them.

⁴⁴ And he said unto them, These are my words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must needs be fulfilled, which are written in the law of Moses, and the prophets, and the psalms, concerning me. ⁴⁵ Then opened he their mind, that they might understand the scriptures, ⁴⁶ and he said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behooved Christ to suffer, and rise again from the dead the third day,

⁴⁶ and he said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behooved Christ to suffer, and rise again from the dead the third day,

³⁴ And I have seen, and have borne witness that this is the Son of God.

⁴⁹ Nathanael answered him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God, thou art the King of Israel.

⁵ His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it.

²⁵ and because he needed not that any one should bear witness concerning man, for he himself knew what was in man.

³⁴ Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to accomplish his work.

³⁰ I can of myself do nothing; as I hear, I judge; and my judgment is righteous, because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father that sent me.

³⁹ Ye search the scriptures, because ye think that in them ye have eternal life, and these are they which bear witness of me, ⁴⁰ and ye will not come to me, that ye may have life. ⁴¹ I receive not glory from men. ⁴² But I know you, that ye have not the love of God in yourselves. ⁴³ I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not; if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive. ⁴⁴ How can ye believe, who receive glory one of another, and the glory that cometh from the only God ye seek not? ⁴⁵ Think not that I will accuse you to the Father; there is one that accuseth you, even Moses, on whom ye have set your hope. ⁴⁶ For if ye believed Moses, ye would believe me, for he wrote of me. ⁴⁷ But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words?

²³ (howbeit there came boats from Tiberias nigh unto the place where they ate the bread after the Lord had given thanks):

²⁷ Work not for the food which perisheth, but for the food which abideth unto eternal life, which the Son of man shall give unto you; for him the Father, even God, hath sealed.

³⁸ For I am come down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.

⁵⁰ This is the bread which cometh down out of heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die. ⁵¹ I am the living bread which came down out of heaven; if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever; yea and the bread which I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.

⁵¹ I am the living bread which came down out of heaven; if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever; yea and the bread which I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world. ⁵² The Jews therefore strove one with another, saying, How can this man give us his flesh to eat? ⁵³ Jesus therefore said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, ye have not life in yourselves. ⁵⁴ He that eateth my flesh and drinketh my blood hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day. ⁵⁵ For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. ⁵⁶ He that eateth my flesh and drinketh my blood abideth in me, and I in him. ⁵⁷ As the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, so he that eateth me, he also shall live because of me. ⁵⁸ This is the bread which came down out of heaven; not as your fathers ate the manna, and died, he that eateth this bread shall live for ever.

⁶⁷ Jesus said therefore unto the twelve, Would ye also go away? ⁶⁸ Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life.

⁷⁰ Jesus answered them, Did not I choose you the twelve, and one of you is a devil? ⁷¹ Now he spake of Judas the son of Simon Iscariot, for he it was that should betray him, being one of the twelve.

²⁵ Some therefore of them of Jerusalem said, Is not this he whom they seek to kill? ²⁶ And lo, he speaketh openly, and they say nothing unto him. Can it be that the rulers indeed know that this is indeed the Christ?

³⁰ They sought therefore to take him; and no man laid his hand on him, because his hour was not yet come.

⁴⁵ The officers therefore came to the chief priests and Pharisees, and they said unto them, Why did ye not bring him?

³¹ Jesus therefore said to those Jews that had believed him, If ye abide in my word, then are ye truly my disciples,

⁴³ Why do ye not understand my speech? Even because ye cannot hear my word. ⁴⁴ Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father it is your will to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and standeth not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own; for he is a liar, and the father thereof. ⁴⁵ But because I say the truth, ye believe me not.

²⁷ He answered them, I told you even now, and ye did not hear, wherefore would ye hear it again? would ye also become his disciples? ²⁸ And they reviled him, and said, Thou art his disciple, but we are disciples of Moses.

²⁴ The Jews therefore came round about him, and said unto him, How long dost thou hold us in suspense? If thou art the Christ, tell us plainly. ²⁵ Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believe not; the works that I do in my Father's name, these bear witness of me. ²⁶ But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you.

³⁰ I and the Father are one.

³⁵ If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came (and the scripture cannot be broken), ³⁶ say ye of him, whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest, because I said, I am the Son of God?

²⁸ And when she had said this, she went away, and called Mary her sister secretly, saying, The Teacher is her, and calleth thee.

⁴⁰ Jesus saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that, if thou believedst, thou shouldest see the glory of God?

⁴⁷ The chief priests therefore and the Pharisees gathered a council, and said, What do we? for this man doeth many signs. ⁴⁸ If we let him thus alone, all men will believe on him; and the Romans will come and take away both our place and our nation. ⁴⁹ But a certain one of them, Caiaphas, being high priest that year, said unto them, Ye know nothing at all, ⁵⁰ nor do ye take account that it is expedient for us that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation perish not. ⁵¹ Now this he said not of himself; but, being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for the nation, ⁵² and not for the nation only, but that he might also gather together into one the children of God that are scattered abroad. ⁵³ So from that day forth they took counsel that they might put him to death.

⁵⁵ Now the passover of the Jews was at hand; and many went up to Jerusalem out of the country before the passover, to purify themselves. ⁵⁶ They sought therefore for Jesus, and spake one with another, as they stood in the temple, What think ye? That he will not come to the feast? ⁵⁷ Now the chief priests and the Pharisees had given commandment, that, if any man knew where he was, he should show it, that they might take him.

⁵⁷ Now the chief priests and the Pharisees had given commandment, that, if any man knew where he was, he should show it, that they might take him.

⁶ Now this he said, not because he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief, and having the bag took away what was put therein.

²⁷ Now is my soul troubled, and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour. But for this cause came I unto this hour.

²⁷ Now is my soul troubled, and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour. But for this cause came I unto this hour. ²⁸ Father, glorify thy name. There came therefore a voice out of heaven, saying, I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again.

³⁷ But though he had done so many signs before them, yet they believed not on him: ³⁸ that the word of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spake, Lord, who hath believed our report? And to whom hath the arm of the Lord been revealed? ³⁹ For this cause they could not believe, for that Isaiah said again, ⁴⁰ He hath blinded their eyes, and he hardened their heart, Lest they should see with their eyes, and perceive with their heart, And should turn, And I should heal them. ⁴¹ These things said Isaiah, when he saw his glory, and he spake of him. ⁴² Nevertheless even of the rulers many believed on him, but because of the Pharisees they did not confess it, lest they should be put out of the synagogue: ⁴³ for they loved the glory that is of men more than the glory that is of God.

¹ Now before the feast of the passover, Jesus knowing that his hour was come that he should depart out of this world unto his Father, having loved his own that were in the world, he loved them unto the end. ² And supper being ended, the devil having already put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray him,

⁵ Then he poureth water into the basin, and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe them with the towel wherewith he was girded. ⁶ So he cometh to Simon Peter; and he saith unto him, Lord, dost thou wash my feet? ⁷ Jesus answered and said unto him, What I do thou knowest not now, but thou shalt understand hereafter. ⁸ Peter saith unto him, Thou shalt never wash my feet. Jesus answered him, If I wash thee not, thou hast no part with me. ⁹ Simon Peter saith unto him, Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head. ¹⁰ Jesus saith to him, He that is bathed needeth not save to wash his feet, but is clean every whit; and ye are clean, but not all. ¹¹ For he knew him that should betray him, therefore said he, Ye are not all clean. ¹² So when he had washed their feet, and taken his garments, and sat down again, he said unto them, Know ye what I have done to you? ¹³ Ye call me, Teacher, and, Lord; and ye say well, for so I am. ¹⁴ If I then, the Lord and the Teacher, have washed your feet, ye also ought to wash one another's feet. ¹⁵ For I have given you an example, that ye also should do as I have done to you. ¹⁶ Verily, verily, I say unto you, a servant is not greater than his lord, neither one that is sent greater than he that sent him.

¹⁸ I speak not of you all; I know whom I have chosen; but that the scripture may be fulfilled; He that eateth bread with me lifted up his heel against me.

¹⁸ I speak not of you all; I know whom I have chosen; but that the scripture may be fulfilled; He that eateth bread with me lifted up his heel against me. ¹⁹ From henceforth I tell you before it come to pass, that, when it is come to pass, ye may believe that I am he.

²¹ When Jesus had thus said, he was troubled in the spirit, and testified, and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me. ²² The disciples looked one on another, doubting of whom he spake.

²² The disciples looked one on another, doubting of whom he spake. ²³ There was at the table reclining in Jesus' bosom one of his disciples, whom Jesus loved. ²⁴ Simon Peter therefore beckoneth to him, and saith unto him, Tell us who it is of whom he speaketh. ²⁵ He leaning back, as he was, on Jesus' breast saith unto him, Lord, who is it? ²⁶ Jesus answereth, He it is, to whom I shall give a sop, when I have dipped it. And when he had dipped the sop, he giveth it to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon.

²⁶ Jesus answereth, He it is, to whom I shall give a sop, when I have dipped it. And when he had dipped the sop, he giveth it to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon. ²⁷ And after the sop, then entered Satan into him. Jesus therefore saith unto him, What thou doest, do quickly.

³⁶ Simon Peter saith unto him, Lord, whither goest thou? Jesus answered, Whither I go, thou canst not follow now, but thou shalt follow afterwards. ³⁷ Peter saith unto him, Lord, why cannot I follow thee even now? I will lay down my life for thee. ³⁸ Jesus answereth, Wilt thou lay down thy life for me? Verily, verily, I say unto thee, The cock shall not crow, till thou hast denied me thrice.

¹⁹ Yet a little while, and the world beholdeth me no more, but ye behold me; because I live, ye shall live also.

³⁰ I will no more speak much with you, for the prince of the world cometh; and he hath nothing in me,

²⁰ Remember the word that I said unto you, A servant is not greater than his lord. If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you, if they kept my word, they will keep yours also.

⁴ But these things have I spoken unto you, that when their hour is come, ye may remember them, how that I told you. And these things I said not unto you from the beginning, because I was with you.

²⁰ Verily, verily, I say unto you, that ye shall weep and lament, but the world shall rejoice; ye shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy. ²¹ A woman when she is in travail hath sorrow, because her hour is come; but when she is delivered of the child, she remembereth no more the anguish, for the joy that a man is born into the world. ²² And ye therefore now have sorrow; but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no one taketh away from you.

³³ These things have I spoken unto you, that in me ye may have peace. In the world ye have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.

¹ These things spake Jesus, and lifting up his eyes to heaven, he said, Father, the hour is come, glorify thy Son, that the son may glorify thee;

⁴ I glorified thee on the earth, having accomplished the work which thou hast given me to do.

⁹ I pray for them; I pray not for the world, but for those whom thou hast given me, for they are thine; ¹⁰ and all things that are mine are thine, and thine are mine; and I am glorified in them. ¹¹ { And I am no more in the world, and these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep them in thy name which thou hast given me, that they may be one, even as we are. ¹² While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name; those that thou gavest me I have guarded, and not one of them perished, but the son of perdition, that the scripture might be fulfilled.

¹⁵ { I pray not that thou shouldest take them from the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil one. ¹⁶ They are not of the world even as I am not of the world. ¹⁷ Sanctify them in thy truth; thy word is truth. ¹⁸ As thou didst send me into the world, even so sent I them into the world. ¹⁹ And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they themselves also may be sanctified in truth. ²⁰ Neither for these only do I pray, but for them also that believe on me through their word, ²¹ that they may all be one, even as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us; that the world may believe that thou didst send me.

¹ When Jesus had spoken these words, he went forth with his disciples over the brook Kidron, where was a garden, into which he entered, himself and his disciples. ² Now Judas also, who betrayed him, knew the place; for Jesus oft-times resorted thither with his disciples.

² Now Judas also, who betrayed him, knew the place; for Jesus oft-times resorted thither with his disciples. ³ Judas then, having received the band of soldiers, and officers from the chief priests and the Pharisees, cometh thither with lanterns and torches and weapons. ⁴ Jesus therefore, knowing all the things that were coming upon him, went forth, and saith unto them, Whom seek ye? ⁵ They answered him, Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus saith unto them, I am he. And Judas also, who betrayed him, was standing with them. ⁶ When therefore he said unto them, I am he, they went backward, and fell to the ground. ⁷ Again therefore he asked them, Whom seek ye? And they said, Jesus of Nazareth. ⁸ Jesus answered, I told you that I am he, if therefore ye seek me, let these go their way;

⁸ Jesus answered, I told you that I am he, if therefore ye seek me, let these go their way; ⁹ that the word might be fulfilled which he spake, Of those whom thou hast given me I lost not one.

⁹ that the word might be fulfilled which he spake, Of those whom thou hast given me I lost not one. ¹⁰ Simon Peter therefore having a sword drew it, and struck the high priest's servant, and cut off his right ear. Now the servant's name was Malchus. ¹¹ Jesus therefore said unto Peter, Put up the sword into the sheath; the cup which the Father hath given me, shall I not drink it?

¹¹ Jesus therefore said unto Peter, Put up the sword into the sheath; the cup which the Father hath given me, shall I not drink it? ¹² So the band and the chief captain, and the officers of the Jews, seized Jesus and bound him, ¹³ and led him to Annas first, for he was father in law to Caiaphas, who was high priest that year. ¹⁴ Now Caiaphas was he that gave counsel to the Jews, that it was expedient that one man should die for the people. ¹⁵ And Simon Peter followed Jesus, and so did another disciple. Now that disciple was known unto the high priest, and entered in with Jesus into the court of the high priest, ¹⁶ but Peter was standing at the door without. So the other disciple, who was known unto the high priest, went out and spake unto her that kept the door, and brought in Peter.

¹⁶ but Peter was standing at the door without. So the other disciple, who was known unto the high priest, went out and spake unto her that kept the door, and brought in Peter. ¹⁷ The maid therefore that kept the door saith unto Peter, Art thou also one of this man's disciples? He saith, I am not.

¹⁷ The maid therefore that kept the door saith unto Peter, Art thou also one of this man's disciples? He saith, I am not.

¹⁷ The maid therefore that kept the door saith unto Peter, Art thou also one of this man's disciples? He saith, I am not. ¹⁸ Now the servants and the officers were standing there, having made a fire of coals, for it was cold, and they were warming themselves; and Peter also was with them, standing and warming himself.

²² And when he had said this, one of the officers standing by struck Jesus with his hand, saying, Answerest thou the high priest so?

²⁴ Annas therefore sent him bound unto Caiaphas the high priest. ²⁵ Now Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. They said therefore unto him, Art thou also one of his disciples? He then denied, and said, I am not.

²⁵ Now Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. They said therefore unto him, Art thou also one of his disciples? He then denied, and said, I am not. ²⁶ One of the servants of the high priest, being a kinsman of him whose ear Peter cut off, saith, Did not I see thee in the garden with him? ²⁷ Peter therefore denied again; and straightway the cock crew.

²⁷ Peter therefore denied again; and straightway the cock crew. ²⁸ They lead Jesus therefore from Caiaphas into the Praetorium; and it was early, and they themselves entered not into the Praetorium, that they might not be defiled, but might eat the passover.

³⁶ Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world; if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews; but now is my kingdom not from hence. ³⁷ Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end have I been born, and to this end am I come into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice.

⁷ The Jews answered him, We have a law, and by our law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God.

²⁸ After this Jesus, seeing that all things are now finished, that the scripture might be accomplished, saith, I thirst. ²⁹ There was set there a vessel full of vinegar; so they put a sponge full of the vinegar upon hyssop, and brought it to his mouth. ³⁰ When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished; and he bowed his head, and gave up his spirit.

¹⁵ So when they had broken their fast, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonah, lovest thou me more than these? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord, thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my lambs. ¹⁶ He saith to him again a second time, Simon, son of Jonah, lovest thou me? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord, thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Tend my sheep. ¹⁷ He saith unto him the third time, Simon, son of Jonah, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said unto him, Lord, thou knowest all things, thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith unto him, Feed my sheep.

¹⁷ He saith unto him the third time, Simon, son of Jonah, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said unto him, Lord, thou knowest all things, thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith unto him, Feed my sheep.

¹³ And when they were come in, they went up into the upper chamber, where they were abiding, both Peter and John and James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon the Zealot, and Judas the son of James.

¹⁶ Brethren, it was needful that the Scripture should be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit spake before by the mouth of David concerning Judas, who was guide to them that took Jesus.

¹⁶ Brethren, it was needful that the Scripture should be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit spake before by the mouth of David concerning Judas, who was guide to them that took Jesus. ¹⁷ For he was numbered among us, and received his portion in this ministry.

¹⁷ For he was numbered among us, and received his portion in this ministry. ¹⁸ (Now this man obtained a field with the reward of his iniquity, and falling headlong, he burst asunder in the midst, and all his bowels gushed out.

¹⁸ (Now this man obtained a field with the reward of his iniquity, and falling headlong, he burst asunder in the midst, and all his bowels gushed out.

¹⁸ (Now this man obtained a field with the reward of his iniquity, and falling headlong, he burst asunder in the midst, and all his bowels gushed out. ¹⁹ And it became known to all the dwellers at Jerusalem, insomuch that in their language that field was called Akeldama, that is, The field of blood.) ²⁰ For it is written in the book of Psalms, Let his habitation be made desolate, And let no man dwell therein; and, His office let another take. ²¹ Of the men therefore that have companied with us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and went out among us, ²² beginning from the baptism of John, unto the day that he was received up from us, of these must one become a witness with us of his resurrection. ²³ And they put forward two, Joseph called Barsabbas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias. ²⁴ And they prayed, and said, Thou, Lord, who knowest the hearts of all men, show of these two the one whom thou hast chosen, ²⁵ to take the portion in this ministry and apostleship from which Judas fell away, that he might go to his own place.

²⁵ to take the portion in this ministry and apostleship from which Judas fell away, that he might go to his own place.

²³ him, being delivered up by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye having taken by the hands of lawless men, did crucify and slay:

³⁰ Being therefore a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him, that of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, to raise up the Christ to sit upon his throne, ³¹ he foreseeing this spake of the resurrection of the Christ, that his soul was not left unto Hades, nor did his flesh see corruption. ³² This Jesus did God raise up, whereof we all are witnesses. ³³ Being therefore by the right hand of God exalted, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, he hath poured forth this, which ye now see and hear. ³⁴ For David ascended not into the heavens; but he saith himself, The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, ³⁵ Till I make thine enemies the footstool of thy feet. ³⁶ Let all the house of Israel therefore know assuredly, that God hath made him both Lord and Christ, this Jesus whom ye crucified.

¹ Now Peter and John were going up into the temple at the hour of prayer, being the ninth hour.

¹¹ And as the lame man that was healed held Peter and John, all the people ran together unto them in the porch that is called Solomon's, greatly wondering.

¹³ The God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob, the God of our fathers, hath glorified his Servant Jesus, whom ye delivered up, and denied before the face of Pilate, when he had determined to release him. ¹⁴ But ye denied the Holy and Righteous One, and asked for a murderer to be granted unto you,

¹⁹ Repent ye therefore, and turn again, that your sins may be blotted out, that so there may come seasons of refreshing from the presence of the Lord,

¹ And as they spake unto the people, the priests and the captain of the temple and the Sadducees came upon them,

¹³ Now when they beheld the boldness of Peter and John, and had perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marveled, and they took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus.

¹⁹ But Peter and John answered and said unto them, Whether it is right in the sight of God to hearken unto you rather than unto God, judge ye:

²⁵ who by the mouth of thy servant David, didst say, Why did the Gentiles rage, And the peoples imagine vain things? ²⁶ The kings of the earth set themselves in array, And the rulers were gathered together, Against the Lord, and against his Anointed: ²⁷ for of a truth against thy holy Servant Jesus, whom thou didst anoint, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and the peoples of Israel, were gathered together,

²⁷ for of a truth against thy holy Servant Jesus, whom thou didst anoint, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and the peoples of Israel, were gathered together, ²⁸ to do whatsoever thy hand and thy council foreordained to come to pass.

³ But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thy heart, for thee to lie to the Holy Spirit, and for thee to keep back part of the price of the land?

²⁴ Now when the high priest and the captain of the temple and the chief priests heard these words, they were much perplexed concerning them whereunto this would grow.

²⁶ Then went the captain with the officers, and brought them, but without violence, for they feared the people, lest they should be stoned.

³¹ Him did God exalt with his right hand to be a Prince and a Saviour, to give repentance to Israel, and remission of sins.

⁵⁵ But he, being full of the Holy Spirit, looked up stedfastly into heaven, and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God, ⁵⁶ and said, Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of Man standing on the right hand of God.

¹⁴ Now when the apostles that were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent unto them Peter and John:

²⁰ But Peter said unto him, Thy silver perish with thee, because thou hast thought to obtain the gift of God with money.

²⁶ But an angel of the Lord spake unto Philip, saying, Arise, and go toward the south unto the way that goeth down from Jerusalem unto Gaza; the same is desert. ²⁷ And he arose and went; and behold, a man of Ethiopia, a eunuch of great authority under Candace, queen of the Ethiopians, who was over all her treasure, who had come to Jerusalem to worship, ²⁸ and he was returning and sitting in his chariot, and was reading the prophet Isaiah. ²⁹ And the Spirit said unto Philip, Go near, and join thyself to this chariot.

⁴ and he fell upon the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?

⁴¹ not to all the people, but unto witnesses that were chosen before of God, even to us, who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead.

²⁷ For they that dwell in Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they knew him not, nor the voices of the prophets which are read every sabbath, fulfilled them by condemning him.

²⁷ For they that dwell in Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they knew him not, nor the voices of the prophets which are read every sabbath, fulfilled them by condemning him. ²⁸ And though they found no cause of death in him, yet asked they of Pilate that he should be slain.

²⁸ And though they found no cause of death in him, yet asked they of Pilate that he should be slain. ²⁹ And when they had fulfilled all things that were written of him, they took him down from the tree, and laid him in a tomb.

¹⁴ And a certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple of the city of Thyatira, one that worshipped God, heard us; whose heart the Lord opened to give heed unto the things which were spoken by Paul. ¹⁵ And when she was baptized, and her household, she besought us, saying, If ye have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house, and abide there. And she constrained us.

²³ And having spent some time there, he departed, and went through the Galatian region, and Phrygian, in order, establishing all the disciples.

⁸ And there were many lights in the upper chamber where we were gathered together.

²³ save that the Holy Spirit testifieth unto me in every city, saying that bonds and afflictions abide me. ²⁴ But I make myself an account of nothing, neither do I count my life dear unto myself, so that I may accomplish my course with joy, and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God.

¹³ Then Paul answered, What do ye, weeping and breaking my heart? for I am ready not to be bound only, but also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.

⁵ As also the high priest doth bear me witness, and all the estate of the elders; from whom also I received letters unto the brethren, and journeyed to Damascus to bring them also that were there unto Jerusalem in bonds to be punished.

¹¹ And punishing them oftentimes in all the synagogues, I strove to make them blaspheme, and being exceedingly mad against them, I persecuted them even unto foreign cities.

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

²² Having therefore obtained the help that is from God, I stand unto this day testifying both to small and great, saying nothing but what the prophets and Moses did say should come, ²³ how that the Christ must suffer, and how that he first by the resurrection of the dead should proclaim light both to the people and to the Gentiles.

⁹ Much more then, being now justified by his blood, shall we be saved from the wrath of God through him. ¹⁰ For if, while we were enemies, we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, shall we be saved by his life,

³² He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not also with him freely give us all things?

³⁴ who is he that condemneth? It is Christ Jesus that died, yea rather, that was raised from the dead, who is at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.

² And be not fashioned according to this world; but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

¹⁰ In love of the brethren be tenderly affectioned one to another, in honor preferring one another,

¹⁹ Avenge not yourselves, beloved, but give place unto the wrath of God; for it is written, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense, saith the Lord.

²¹ Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.

⁶ He that regardeth the day, regardeth it unto the Lord, and he that regardeth not the day, to the Lord he doth not regard it. And he that eateth, eateth unto the Lord, for he giveth God thanks, and he that eateth not, unto the Lord he eateth not, and giveth God thanks.

⁷ Purge out the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, even as ye are unleavened. For our passover also hath been sacrificed for us, even Christ:

⁷ Purge out the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, even as ye are unleavened. For our passover also hath been sacrificed for us, even Christ: ⁸ wherefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.

² Or know ye not that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world is judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters? ³ Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more, things that pertain to this life?

²⁵ And every man that striveth in the games exerciseth self-control in all things. Now they do it to receive a corruptible crown, but we an incorruptible.

⁴ and did all drink the same spiritual drink; for they drank of a spiritual rock that followed them; and the rock was Christ.

¹² Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.

¹⁶ The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not a communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not a communion of the body of Christ?

¹⁶ The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not a communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not a communion of the body of Christ? ¹⁷ seeing that we, who are many, are one bread, one body; for we are all partake of the one bread. ¹⁸ Behold Israel after the flesh; have not they that eat the sacrifices communion with the altar? ¹⁹ What say I then? that a thing sacrificed to idols is anything, or that an idol is anything? ²⁰ But I say, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons, and not to God; and I would not that ye should have communion with demons. ²¹ Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of demons; ye cannot partake of the table of the Lord, and of the table of demons.

²³ For I received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, that the Lord Jesus in the night in which he was betrayed took bread, ²⁴ and when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat; this is my body, which is broken for you; this do in remembrance of me. ²⁵ In like manner also the cup, after supper, saying, This cup is the new covenant in my blood; this do, as often as ye drink it, in remembrance of me.

²⁵ In like manner also the cup, after supper, saying, This cup is the new covenant in my blood; this do, as often as ye drink it, in remembrance of me. ²⁶ For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink the cup, ye proclaim the Lord's death till he come. ²⁷ Wherefore whosoever shall eat the bread or drink the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner, shall be guilty of the body of the Lord and of the blood of the Lord. ²⁸ But let a man prove himself, and so let him eat of the bread, and drink of the cup. ²⁹ For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh judgment unto himself, not discerning the Lord's body.

⁴ Love suffereth long, and is kind, love envieth not, love vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,

³ For I delivered unto you first of all that which also I received; that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures, ⁴ and that he was buried, and that he hath been raised on the third day according to the scriptures,

³³ Be not deceived; Evil companionships corrupt good morals.

⁴ who comforteth us in all our affliction, that we may be able to comfort them that are in any affliction, through the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God. ⁵ For as the sufferings of Christ abound unto us, even so our comfort also aboundeth through Christ. ⁶ But whether we are afflicted, it is for your comfort and salvation, which worketh in the patient enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer; and our hope for you is stedfast. Whether we are comforted, it is for your comfort, ⁷ knowing that, as ye are partakers of the sufferings, so also are ye of the comfort.

⁶ who also made us sufficient as ministers of a new covenant, not of the letter, but of the spirit; for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.

³ And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled in them that perish: ⁴ in whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of the unbelieving, that the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should not dawn upon them. ⁵ For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus as Lord, and ourselves as your servants for Jesus' sake. ⁶ Seeing it is God, that said, Light shall shine out of darkness, who shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

²¹ Him who knew no sin he made to be sin on our behalf, that we might become the righteousness of God in him.

¹⁵ And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what portion hath a believer with an unbeliever? ¹⁶ And what agreement hath a temple of God with idols? for ye are a temple of the living God, even as God said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them, and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. ¹⁷ Wherefore Come ye out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, And touch no unclean thing, And I will receive you,

⁹ I now rejoice, not that ye were made sorry, but that ye were made sorry unto repentance, for ye were made sorry after a godly sort, that ye might suffer loss by us in nothing. ¹⁰ For godly sorrow worketh repentance unto salvation, a repentance which bringeth no regret; but the sorrow of the world worketh death. ¹¹ For behold, this selfsame thing, that ye were made sorry after a godly sort, what earnest care it wrought in you, yea what clearing of yourselves, yea what indignation, yea what fear, yea what longing, yea what zeal, yea what avenging! In everything ye approved yourselves to be pure in the matter.

⁹ For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might become rich.

¹ Now I Paul myself entreat you by the meekness and gentleness of Christ, I who in your presence am lowly among you, but being absent am of good courage toward you:

³ For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh ⁴ (for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but mighty before God to the casting down of strongholds),

⁴ (for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but mighty before God to the casting down of strongholds),

⁷ And by reason of the exceeding greatness of the revelations, that I should not be exalted overmuch, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, a messenger of Satan to buffet me, that I should not be exalted overmuch. ⁸ Concerning this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me. ⁹ And he hath said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee; for my power is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. ¹⁰ Wherefore I take pleasure in weaknesses, in injuries, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ's sake; for when I am weak, then am I strong.

⁴ who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us out of this present evil world, according to the will of our God and Father:

¹³ Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us, for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:

⁴ but when the fullness of the time came, God sent forth his Son, born of a woman, born under the law, ⁵ that he might redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons.

²⁵ Now this Hagar is mount Sinai in Arabia and answereth to the Jerusalem that now is; for she is in bondage with her children.

²⁰ which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and made him to sit at his right hand in the heavenly places, ²¹ far above all rule, and authority, and power, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come: ²² and he put all things in subjection under his feet, and gave him to be head over all things to the church, ²³ which is his body, the fullness of him that filleth all in all.

¹¹ Wherefore remember, that once ye, the Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called Circumcision, in the flesh, made by hands,

⁸ Wherefore he saith, When he ascended on high, he led captivity captive, And gave gifts unto men. ⁹ (Now this, He ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth? ¹⁰ He that descended is the same also that ascended far above all the heavens, that he might fill all things.)

² and walk in love, even as Christ also loved you, and gave himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for an odor of a sweet smell.

¹⁸ And be not drunken with wine, wherein is riot, but be filled with the Spirit, ¹⁹ speaking one to another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody with your heart to the Lord,

¹⁰ Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the strength of his might. ¹¹ Put on the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. ¹² For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world-rulers of the darkness of this world, against the spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.

¹² For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world-rulers of the darkness of this world, against the spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. ¹³ Wherefore take up the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and, having done all, to stand. ¹⁴ Stand therefore, having girded your loins with truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, ¹⁵ and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace, ¹⁶ withal taking up the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the evil one. ¹⁷ And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: ¹⁸ with all prayer and supplication praying at all seasons in the Spirit, and watching thereunto in all perseverance and supplication for all the saints,

¹⁸ with all prayer and supplication praying at all seasons in the Spirit, and watching thereunto in all perseverance and supplication for all the saints, ¹⁹ and on my behalf, that utterance may be given unto me in opening my mouth, to make known with boldness the mystery of the gospel,

³ doing nothing through faction or through vainglory, but in lowliness of mind each counting other better than himself, ⁴ not looking each of you to his own things, but each of you also to the things of others. ⁵ Have this mind in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:

⁷ but emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men, ⁸ and being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, becoming obedient even unto death, yea, the death of the cross.

¹³ who delivered us out of the power of darkness, and translated us into the kingdom of the Son of his love,

¹ If then ye were raised together with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated on the right hand of God.

¹⁴ For ye, brethren, became imitators of the churches of God which are in Judea in Christ Jesus; for ye also suffered the same things of your own countrymen, even as they did of the Jews, ¹⁵ who both killed the Lord Jesus and their own prophets, and drove out us, and pleased not God, and are contrary to all men,

⁴ For verily, when we were with you, we told you beforehand that we are to suffer affliction, even as it came to pass, and ye know.

⁸ But let us, since we are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and for a helmet, the hope of salvation.

¹⁸ in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus to you-ward.

¹³ though I was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious; howbeit I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief,

¹³ though I was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious; howbeit I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief, ¹⁴ and the grace of our Lord abounded exceedingly with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.

¹⁴ and the grace of our Lord abounded exceedingly with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus. ¹⁵ Faithful is the saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am chief: ¹⁶ howbeit for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me as chief might Jesus Christ show forth all his longsuffering, for an ensample of them that should thereafter believe on him unto eternal life.

¹⁶ And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness, God was manifested in the flesh, Justified in the spirit, Seen of angels, Preached among the nations, Believed on in the world, Received up in glory.

⁴ For every creature of God is good, and nothing is to be rejected, if it be received with thanksgiving: ⁵ for it is sanctified through the word of God and prayer.

⁹ But they that are minded to be rich fall into a temptation and a snare and many foolish and hurtful lusts, such as drown men in destruction and perdition. ¹⁰ For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil; which some reaching after have been led astray from the faith, and have pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

¹⁰ Therefore I endure all things for the elect's sake, that they also may obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory. ¹¹ Faithful is the saying; For if we died with him, we shall also live with him: ¹² if we endure, we shall also reign with him; if we shall deny him, he also will deny us:

¹² if we endure, we shall also reign with him; if we shall deny him, he also will deny us:

¹⁸ men who concerning the truth have erred, saying that the resurrection is past already, and overthrow the faith of some.

¹ Paul, a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of God's elect, and the knowledge of the truth which is according to godliness,

¹⁴ who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a people for his own possession, zealous of good works.

³ who being the effulgence of his glory, and the very image of his substance, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself made purification of our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high,

⁶ And when he again bringeth in the firstborn into the world he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him.

¹⁴ Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to do service for the sake of them that shall inherit salvation?

¹⁷ Wherefore it behooved him in all things to be made like unto his brethren, that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people. ¹⁸ For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succor them that are tempted.

¹⁵ For we have not a high priest that cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities, but one that hath been in all points tried like as we are, yet without sin.

⁷ Who in the days of his flesh, having offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him from death, and having been heard for his godly fear,

²⁵ Wherefore also he is able to save to the uttermost them that draw near unto God through him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them.

¹ Now in the things which we are saying the chief point is this; We have such a high priest, who sat down on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens,

⁶ But now hath he obtained a ministry the more excellent, by so much as he is also the mediator of a better covenant, which hath been enacted upon better promises. ⁷ For if that first covenant had been faultless, then would no place have been sought for a second. ⁸ For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, That I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah, ⁹ Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers In the day that I took them by the hand to lead them forth out of the land of Egypt, For they continued not in my covenant, And I regarded them not, saith the Lord. ¹⁰ For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel After those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their mind, And on their heart also will I write them; And I will be to them a God, And they shall be to me a people: ¹¹ And they shall not teach every man his fellow-citizen, And every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord; For all shall know me, From the least to the greatest of them. ¹² For I will be merciful to their iniquities, And their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more. ¹³ In that he saith, A new covenant he hath made the first old. But that which is becoming old and waxeth aged is nigh unto vanishing away.

¹⁵ And for this cause he is the mediator of a new covenant, that a death having taken place for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first covenant, they that have been called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance.

¹⁷ For a testament is of force where there hath been death; for it doth never avail while he that made it liveth.

¹ For the law having a shadow of the good things to come, not the very image of the things; with the same sacrifices year by year, which they offer continually, they can never make perfect them that draw nigh. ² Else would they not have ceased to be offered? because the worshippers, having been once cleansed, would have had no more consciousness of sins. ³ But in those sacrifices there is a remembrance made of sins year by year. ⁴ For it is impossible that the blood of bulls and goats should take away sins. ⁵ Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, But a body didst thou prepare for me, ⁶ In whole burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin thou hadst no pleasure: ⁷ Then said I, Lo, I am come (In the roll of the book it is written of me) To do thy will, O God. ⁸ Saying above, Sacrifices and offerings and whole burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin thou wouldest not, neither hadst pleasure therein (the which are offered according to the law), ⁹ then hath he said, Lo, I am come to do thy will, O God. He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second. ¹⁰ By which will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

⁸ By faith Abraham, when he was called, obeyed to go out unto the place which he was to receive for an inheritance, and he went out, not knowing whither he went.

² looking unto Jesus the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising shame, and hath sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

¹² Wherefore lift up the hands that hang down, and the palsied knees, ¹³ and make straight paths for your feet, that that which is lame be not turned out of the way, but rather be healed.

¹⁵ looking carefully lest there be any man that falleth short of the grace of God, lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby the many be defiled,

²⁴ and to Jesus the mediator of a new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling that speaketh better than that of Abel.

²⁰ Now the God of peace, who brought again from the dead the great shepherd of the sheep with the blood of an eternal covenant, even our Lord Jesus,

⁵ Hearken, my beloved brethren, did not God choose the poor of the world to be rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he promised to them that love him?

⁵ Or think ye that the scripture speaketh in vain? Doth the spirit that dwelleth in us long unto envying? ⁶ But he giveth more grace. Wherefore the scripture saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace to the humble.

¹ Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the elect who are sojourners of the Dispersion in Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia,

⁵ who by the power of God are guarded through faith unto a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.

¹¹ searching what time or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did point unto, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glories that should follow them.

¹³ Wherefore girding up the loins of your mind, be sober and set your hope perfectly on the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ,

²¹ For hereunto were ye called; because Christ also suffered for us, leaving you an example, that ye should follow his steps: ²² who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth: ²³ who, when he was reviled, reviled not again, when he suffered threatened not, but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously:

²³ who, when he was reviled, reviled not again, when he suffered threatened not, but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously: ²⁴ who his own self bare our sins in his body upon the tree, that we, having died unto sins, might live unto righteousness, by whose stripes ye were healed.

²² who is on the right hand of God, having gone into heaven, angels and authorities and powers being made subject unto him.

¹ Forasmuch then as Christ suffered for us in the flesh, arm ye yourselves also with the same mind, for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin,

⁷ But the end of all things is at hand; be ye therefore of sound mind, and be sober in your prayers:

³ neither as lording it over the charge allotted to you, but making yourselves ensamples to the flock. ⁴ And when the chief Shepherd shall be manifested, ye shall receive the crown of glory that fadeth not away. ⁵ Likewise, ye younger, be subject unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another. Gird yourselves with humility, for God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace to the humble.

⁵ Likewise, ye younger, be subject unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another. Gird yourselves with humility, for God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace to the humble. ⁶ Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time,

⁸ Be sober, be watchful; your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour,

⁸ Be sober, be watchful; your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour,

⁸ Be sober, be watchful; your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour, ⁹ whom withstand stedfast in your faith, knowing that the same sufferings are accomplished in your brethren who are in the world.

⁹ whom withstand stedfast in your faith, knowing that the same sufferings are accomplished in your brethren who are in the world.

⁹ whom withstand stedfast in your faith, knowing that the same sufferings are accomplished in your brethren who are in the world. ¹⁰ And may the God of all grace, who called us unto his eternal glory in Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a little while, himself perfect you, established, strengthened, grounded.

¹⁰ Wherefore, brethren, give the more diligence to make your calling and election sure; for if ye do these things, ye shall never stumble: ¹¹ for thus shall be richly supplied unto you the entrance into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. ¹² Wherefore I will not neglect to put you always in remembrance of these things, though ye know them, and are established in the truth which is with you.

³ And in covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you; whose sentence now from of old lingereth not, and their destruction shall not slumber.

¹⁵ having forsaken the right way, they went astray, having followed the way of Balaam the son of Beor, who loved the hire of wrong-doing,

¹⁴ Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for these things, give diligence that ye may be found in peace, without spot and blameless in his sight.

¹⁷ Ye therefore, beloved, knowing these things beforehand, beware lest, being carried away with the error of the wicked, ye fall from your own stedfastness. ¹⁸ But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be the glory both now and for ever. Amen.

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

¹ My little children, these things write I unto you that ye may not sin. And if any man sin, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous: ² and he is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only, but also for the whole world.

¹⁹ They went out from us, but they were not of us, for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us; but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they all are not of us.

⁹ I wrote unto the church; but Diotrephes, who loveth to have the preeminence among them, receiveth us not. ¹⁰ Therefore, if I come, I will bring to remembrance his works which he doeth, prating against us with wicked words; and not content therewith, neither doth he himself receive the brethren, and them that would he forbiddeth and casteth them out of the church. ¹¹ Woe unto them! For they went in the way of Cain, and ran riotously in the error of Balaam for hire, and perished in the gainsaying of Korah.

⁵ Remember therefore whence thou art fallen, and repent and do the first works, or else I come unto thee quickly, and will move thy candlestick out of its place, except thou repent.

²⁶ And he that overcometh, and he that keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give authority over the nations; ²⁷ and he shall rule them with a rod of iron, as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers, as I also have received of my Father;

¹⁰ Because thou didst keep the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of trial, that hour which is to come upon the whole world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.

²⁰ Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if any man hear my voice and open the door, then will I come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. ²¹ He that overcometh, I will give to him to sit down with me in my throne, as I also overcame, and sat down with my Father in his throne.

⁴ And round about the throne were four and twenty thrones; and upon the thrones the four and twenty elders sitting, arrayed in white garments, and on their heads crowns of gold.

⁹ And the great dragon was cast down, the old serpent, he that is called the Devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world, he was cast down to the earth, and his angels were cast down with him. ¹⁰ And I heard a great voice in heaven, saying, Now is come the salvation, and the power, and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Christ; for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, who accuseth them before our God day and night.

¹⁰ And I heard a great voice in heaven, saying, Now is come the salvation, and the power, and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Christ; for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, who accuseth them before our God day and night. ¹¹ And they overcame him because of the blood of the Lamb, and because of the word of their testimony, and they loved not their life even unto death. ¹² Therefore rejoice, O heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe for the earth and for the sea; because the devil is gone down unto you, having great wrath, knowing that he hath but a short time.

⁹ And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they that are bidden to the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are true words of God.

¹⁴ And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them twelve names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.

¹ And he showed me a pure river of water of life, bright as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb,
