Will it succeed for work.

¹⁸ To whom wert thou thus like in glory and in greatness among the trees of Men? and thou wert brought down with the trees of Eden to the earth underneath: in the midst of the uncircumcised thou shalt lie, with the wounded of the sword. This is Pharaoh and all his multitude, says the Lord Jehovah.

¹⁴ He called with strength, and thus he said, Hew down the tree, and cut off its branches, shake off its foliage and scatter its fruit: the beasts shall flee from under it, and the birds from its branches.

²³ And that the king saw a watcher and a holy one came down from the heavens, and said, Hew down the tree and destroy it; but leave the stump of its roots in the earth, and with a band of iron and brass in the tender grass of the open field; and with the dew of the heavens it shall be wet, and with the beasts of the open field its portion, even till seven times shall pass over him;

¹⁰ And now also the axe lies at the root of the trees; therefore every one not making good fruit is cut off and cast into fire.

¹⁹ Every tree not making good fruit is cut off, and cast into fire.

⁷ And he said to the vine-dresser, Behold, three years I am come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and find not: cut it off; wherefore also does it leave the earth unemployed?

⁹ Whereas also it might bear fruit: and if not, afterwards thou shalt cut it off.

²⁹ For, behold, the days are coming in which they shall say, Happy the barren, and the wombs which never brought forth, and the breasts which gave not suck. ³⁰ Then shall they begin to say to the mountains, Fall upon us; and to the hills, Cover us. ³¹ For if they do these in the moist tree, what should be in the dry

⁶ If any remain not in me, he was cast forth as the branch, and was dried up; and they gather them together, and cast into the fire, and they are burned.

²⁸ Any one having rejected Moses' law, without compassion dies by two or three witnesses:

²⁹ For also our God is a consuming fire.

⁸ Do ye therefore fruits worthy of repentance, and begin not to, say in yourselves, We have a father A braham : for I say to you, That God is able to raise children to Abraham of these stones.

¹² And publicans came to be immersed, and said to him, Teacher, what shall we do?

¹⁴ And they making war asked him, saying, And what shall do? And he said to them, Shake none violently, neither make slanderous accusation; and be content with your pay.

³⁷ And having heard, they were pricked in heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the sent, What shall we do, men, brethren?

⁶ And he trembling and amazed said, Lord, What wilt thou me to do? And the Lord to him, Arise, and come into the city, and it shall be spoken to thee what thou must do.

³⁰ And bringing them out, he said, Lords, what must I do that I might be saved

⁷ Is it not to break thy bread to the hungry, and thou shalt bring the wandering poor to thy house? when thou shalt see the naked and cover him; and thou shalt not hide from thy flesh. ⁸ Then shall thy light break forth as the dawn, and thy healing shall spring forth quickly: and thy justice going before thee; the glory of Jehovah shall gather thee. ⁹ Then shalt thou call and Jehovah will answer; thou shalt cry for help, and he will say, Behold me. If thou shalt take away from the midst of thee the yoke, the extending of the finger, and the word of vanity; ¹⁰ And thou shalt give out thy soul to the hungry, and satisfy the humble soul; and thy light rising in darkness,, and thy thick darkness as the noon. ¹¹ And Jehovah led thee continually, and he satisfied thy soul in dry places, and he will make thy bones strong: and thou wed as a watered garden, and as a spring of water which its waters shall not deceive.

²⁷ Wherefore, O king, my counsel shall be pleasant to thee, and break off thy sins by justice, and thine iniquities in compassionating the poor; if it shall be a lengthening to thy peace.

⁴⁰ And the king having answered, will say to them, Trull I say to you, Inasmuch as ye did to one of the least of my brethren, ye did to me.

⁵ For this could have been sold for above three hundred drachmas, and have been given to the poor. And they raged against her. ⁶ And Jesus said, Let her go; why bestow ye weariness upon her? she has wrought a good work upon me. ⁷ For always have ye the poor with you, and when ye wish ye can do them good: and me ye have not always. ⁸ And what she had, she has done: she has undertaken beforehand to perfume my body for the burial.

⁴¹ But of the things being, give alms; and, behold, all things are clean to you.

²² And Jesus having heard these, said to him, Yet one thing fails thee: all whatever thou hast, sell and distribute to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me.

⁸ And Zaccheus having stood, said to the Lord, Behold, the half of my possessions, Lord, I give to the poor; and if I have made any false accusation against any one, I give back fourfold.

²⁹ For some thought, since Judas had the small coffer, that Jesus says to him, Purchase of what we have need for the festival; or, that he might give something to the poor.

² Religious, and fearing God with all his house, and doing many alms to the people, and praying God always.

⁴ And having looked at him intently, and being afraid, he said, What is it, Lord? And he said to him, Thy prayers and thine alms went up for remembrance before God.

³¹ And he says, Cornelius, thy prayer was harkened to, and thine alms remembered before God.

³ For according to power, I testify, and above power chosen voluntarily; ⁴ Praying us with much entreaty that we receive the grace and participation of the service for saints. ⁵ And not as we hoped, but they gave themselves first to the Lord, and to us by the will of God. ⁶ So that we besought Titus, that as he began before, so also he would complete to us this grace also. ⁷ But as ye abound in everything, in faith, and in word, and in knowledge, and in all care, and in love from you to us, that also ye abound in this grace. ⁸ I speak not according to command, but by care of others, trying also the purity of your love. ⁹ For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that for you he was in a state of beggary, being rich; that ye in his poverty might be rich. ¹⁰ And in this I give an opinion: for this is profitable to you, which no only to do, but to will, ye began before from last year. ¹¹ And now also complete ye the doing; that as a forwardness to will so also to complete, out of what is possessed. ¹² For if a forwardness lie before, according as any has, it is acceptable, not as he has not. ¹³ For not that ease to others, and pressure to you: ¹⁴ But of equality, now in this time your abundance for their want, that also their abundance be for your want: that there be equality:

¹⁸ To do good, to be rich in good works, to be liberal, qualified for participation;

¹⁰ For God is not unjust to forget your work and fatigue of love, which ye showed to his name, having served to the holy ones, and serving.

²⁷ Religion pure and unpolluted before God and the Father is this, To take a view of the orphans and widows in their pressure, to keep himself free from stain from the world.

¹⁵ And if a brother or sister be naked, and be failing of daily food, ¹⁶ And any of you say to them, Retire in peace, be ye warmed and be ye fed; and ye give them not things fitting the body; what profit? ¹⁷ So also faith, if it have not works, is dead by itself. ¹⁸ But certain will say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: show me thy faith without thy works, and I will show thee my faith from my works. ¹⁹ Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: and the evil spirits believe, and shudder. ²⁰ And wilt thou know, O empty man, that faith without works is dead? ²¹ Was not Abraham our father justified by works, having brought up Isaac his son upon the altar ²² Thou seest that faith cooperated with his works, and from works was faith perfected. ²³ And the writing was completed, saying, And Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him for justice: and he was called the Friend of God. ²⁴ Therefore ye see that man is justified from works, and not from faith alone. ²⁵ And likewise also was not Rehab the harlot justified by works, having received the messengers, and cast out by another way? ²⁶ For as the body without the spirit is dead, so also faith without works is dead.

¹⁷ And whoever has the life of the world, and sees his brother having need, and should shut up his bowels from him, how remains the love of God in him?

²⁰ If any say, I love God, and hate his brother, he is a liar: for he not loving his brother whom he has seen, God whom he has not seen, how can he love?

³¹ Which of the two did the father's will? They say to him, The first. Jesus says to them, Truly I say to you, that publicans and harlots go into the kingdom of God before you. ³² For John came to you in the way of justice, and ye believed him not: and the publicans and harlots believed him; and ye, seeing, repented not afterwards, to believe him.

²⁹ And all the people having heard, and the publicans, justified God, having been immersed with the immersion of John.

¹ And all publicans and sinful were drawing near him to hear him. ² And the Pharisees and scribes murmured, saying, That this receives the sinful, and eats together with them.

¹³ And the publican, standing afar off, would not either lift up the eyes to heaven, but struck upon his breast, saying, God propitiate for me the sinful.

²³ And I blameless with him, and I will watch myself from mine iniquity.

¹³ He covering his transgression shall not prosper: but he confessing and forsaking, shall be compassionated.

¹⁶ Wash ye, cleanse yourselves: turn away evil from your doings from before mine eyes; leave off the evil; ¹⁷ Learn to do good; seek out judgment, lead right the oppressor, judge the orphan, contend for the widow.

⁶ Seek ye Jehovah in his being found, and call him in his being near. ⁷ The unjust one shall forsake his way, and the man of vanity his purposes, and turn back to Jehovah, and he will pity him, and to our God, for he will multiply to forgive.

²¹ And if the unjust one shall turn back from all his sins which he did, and he watched all my laws and did judgment and justice; living, he shall live; he shall not die. ²² All his transgressions which he did shall not be remembered to him: in his justice which he did he shall live.

²⁷ And in the unjust one turning back from his injustice which he did; and he will do judgment and justice, he shall save his soul alive. ²⁸ And he will see and turn back from all his transgressions which he did, living, he shall live; he shall not die.

⁸ He announced to thee, O man, what was good; and what did Jehovah require of thee but to do judgment and to love mercy, and being humbled, to go with thy God?

¹² Therefore all whatever ye would that men should do to you, so also do ye to them; for this is the law and the prophets.

¹⁰ Nor thieves; nor covetous, nor intoxicated, nor railers, nor rapacious, shall inherit the kingdom of God.

²⁸ He stealing let him steal no more: and rather let him be wearied from fatigue, working good with the hands, that he have to impart to him having need.

¹¹ For the grace of God who saves, was manifested to all men, ¹² Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and eager worldly desires, we should live discreetly, and justly, and religiously, in the time now;

¹ Wherefore we also having such a cloud of witnesses lying round about us, having laid down every weight, and sin easily captivating, by patience we should run the race set before us,

¹⁶ Thou shalt not testify against thy friend for falsehood.

¹ Thou shalt not take up a false report: thou shalt not put thy hand with the unjust one to be a witness of wrong.

¹¹ Ye shall not steal and ye shall not deceive, and ye shall not lie each to his neighbor.

⁵ And Jesus having entered into Capernaum, a captain of a hundred came to him, and beseeching him,

⁷ And when the messenger speaking to Cornelius departed, having called two of his servants, and a religious soldier of those persevering with him;

⁹ For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal Thou shalt not bear false testimony, Thou shalt not covet; and if any other command in this word it is summed up, in it, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. ¹⁰ Love works no evil to the neighbor: love therefore the completion of the law.

¹⁵ That ye be complete and pure, children of God, blameless in the midst of a crooked and perverted generation, among whom ye appear as luminaries in the world;

¹¹ Not that I speak concerning want; for I have learned, among whom I am, to be satisfied with my condition.

⁸ And having sustenance and covering, with these let us be contented. ⁹ And they wishing to be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and many eager desires, unwise and hurtful, which sink men into ruin and perdition. ¹⁰ For the root of all evils is the love of money: which some striving for, have been led astray from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many pains.

³ The aged women likewise, becoming holy in a serene state of mind, not accusers, not slaves to much wine, teachers of good;

⁵ The disposition exempt from avarice; being contented with present circumstances: for he has said, I will not send thee back, nor forsake thee. ⁶ So that being confident, we say, The Lord aiding me, and I will not fear what man will do to me.

¹⁰ And I heard a great voice saying in heaven, Now was salvation and power, and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Christ for the accuser of our brethren was cast down, he accusing them before our God, day and night.

¹⁹ And this is the testimony of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem that they might ask him, Who art thou? ²⁰ And he acknowledged, and denied not; and he acknowledged, That I am not the Christ. ²¹ And they asked, What then? Art thou Elias? And he says, I am not. Art thou a prophet? And he answered, No. ²² Then said they to him, Who art thou? that we might give answer to them having sent us. What sayest thou for thyself? ²³ He said, I the voice of him crying in the desert, Make ye straight the way of the Lord, as said Esaias the prophet. ²⁴ And they having been sent were of the Pharisees. ²⁵ And they asked him, and said to him, Why immersest thou then, if thou art not Christ, neither Elias, neither a prophet? ²⁶ John answered them saying, I immerse in water: but he stands the midst of you, whom ye know not; ²⁷ This is he coming after me, who was before me, of whom I am not worthy that I might loose the strings of his shoes. ²⁸ These things were in Bethabara beyond Jordan, where John was immersing.

²⁸ Ye yourselves testify to me, that I said, I am not the Christ, but that I am sent before him. ²⁹ He having the bride is the bridegroom: and the friend of the bridegroom, standing and hearing him, rejoices with joy for the bridegroom's voice: therefore this my joy has been completed.

²⁴ Then the Jews surrounded him, and said to him, How long takest thou away our soul? If thou art Christ, say to us with freedom of speech.

²³ Ye shall turn back at my reproofs: behold, I will pour forth my spirit to you, I will make known my words to you.

⁴ When Jehovah washed out the excrements of the daughters of Zion, and he shall cleanse the blood of Jerusalem from her midst with the spirit of judgment, and with the spirit of burning.

¹⁵ Until the spirit shall be poured upon us from on high, and the desert be for Carmel, and Carmel be reckoned for a forest.

³ For I will pour water upon the thirsty, and flowings upon the dry: I will pour my spirit upon thy seed, and my blessing upon thine offspring. ⁴ And they sprung up in the midst of the enclosure as willows by streams of water.

²⁵ And I sprinkled clean waters upon you, and ye were cleansed: from all your uncleannesses and from all your blocks will I cleanse you.

²⁸ And it was after this I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters prophesied, your old men shall dream your young men shall see visions. ²⁹ And also upon the servants and upon the maids in those days I will pour out my spirit.

⁹ And I brought the third through fire, and I purified them as purifying silver, and I tried them as trying gold: he shall call on my name and I will answer him: I said, He is my people; and he shall say, Jehovah my God.

² And who enduring the day of his coming? and who standing in his being seen? for he is as the fire of the crucible, as the alkali of the fuller. ³ And he sat melting and cleansing silver: and he cleansed the sons of Levi, and he purified them as gold and as silver, and they were to Jehovah bringing near the sacrifice in justice.

⁷ And he proclaimed, saying, The stronger than I comes after me, of whom I am not sufficient, having bent the head, to loose the strings of his shoes. ⁸ I truly immersed you in water: but he shall immerse you with the Holy Spirit.

²⁶ John answered them saying, I immerse in water: but he stands the midst of you, whom ye know not;

³³ And I knew him not: but he having sent me to immerse in water, this said to me, Upon whomsoever thou shouldest see the Spirit descending, and remaining upon him, this is he immersing in the Holy Spirit.

³⁸ He believing in me, as said the writing, from his belly shall flow rivers of living waters.

⁵ For John truly immersed in water; and ye shall be immersed in the Holy Spirit not after these many days.

³ And seen to them were tongues divided as fire, and it sat upon Each one of them. ⁴ And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and began to speak in other tongues, as the Spirit gave them to utter.

¹⁷ And it shall be in the last days, says God, I pour out from my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your elder dream dreams: ¹⁸ And also upon my servants and upon my maids in those days will I pour out from my Spirit; and they shall prophesy:

³³ Therefore exalted by the right hand of God, and having received the promise of the Holy Spirit from the Father, he poured out this, which ye now see and hear.

⁴⁴ Peter yet speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell upon all hearing the word.

¹⁵ And in my beginning to speak, the Holy Spirit fell upon them, as also upon us in the beginning. ¹⁶ And I remembered the word of the Lord, when he said, John truly immersed with water; but ye shall be immersed with the Holy Spirit.

²⁴ John having proclaimed before the face of his coming the immersion of repentance to all the people of Israel. ²⁵ And as John completed the course, be said, Whom think ye me to be? I am not. But, behold, he comes after me, whose shoes of the feet I am not worthy to loose.

⁴ And Paul said, John truly immersed the immersion of repentance, saying to the people, that they should believe on him coming after him, that is, in Christ Jesus. ⁵ And they having heard, were immersed in the name of the Lord Jesus.

¹³ For also in one Spirit were we all immersed into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether servants or free; and we have all been given to drink into one Spirit.

⁴ Not so the unjust: but as the chaff which the wind shall drive away.

⁹ Thou wilt set them as a furnace of fire for the time of thy face: Jehovah in his anger will swallow them down, and the fire shall devour them. ¹⁰ Their fruit thou wilt destroy from the earth, and their seed from the sons of man.

²⁴ And the oxen and the young asses working the land shall eat salted provender which was winnowed with the fan and by the winnower.

⁷ And I will scatter them with a scatteriiig in the gates of the land; I bereaved of offspring, I destroyed my people; they turned not back from their ways.

¹² And they knew not the purposes of Jehovah, and they understood not his counsel for he gathered them as sheaves of the threshing-floor.

¹² Whose winnowing fan is in his hand, and he will thoroughly cleanse his threshing floor, and gather his wheat into the store; but he will burn down the chaff in inextinguishable fire.

³⁰ Suffer both to grow together till harvest; and in time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them; and gather the wheat into my barn.

⁴³ And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off; it is good for thee rather to enter into life maimed, than having two hands, to go away into hell, into inextinguishable fire: ⁴⁴ Where their worm dies not, and the fire is not quenched. ⁴⁵ And if thy foot offend thee, cut it off: it is good for thee to enter into life lame, than having two feet to be cast into hell, into inextinguishable fire: ⁴⁶ Where their worm dies not, and the fire is not quenched. ⁴⁷ And if thine eye offend thee, cast it out: it is good for thee, one eyed, to come into the kingdom of God, than having two eyes to be cast into a hell of fire: ⁴⁸ Where their worm dies not, and the fire is not quenched. ⁴⁹ For all shall be salted with fire, and every sacrifice shall be salted with salt.

¹⁵ John testifies for him, and he tried, saying, This was he of whom I said, He coming after me was before me: for he was before me.

²⁹ In the morrow John sees Jesus coming to him, and says, Behold the Lamb of God, be taking away the sin of the world.

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

⁴⁰ And with many other words he appealed earnestly and besought, saying, Be ye saved from this crooked generation.

⁷ He instructing him mocking received to himself dishonor: and he reproving to the unjust one, his blemish. ⁸ Thou shalt not reprove him mocking, lest he shall hate thee: reprove to the wise one and he will love thee.

¹² He mocking will not love him reproving him: to the wise he will not go.

² And John having heard in prison the works of Christ, having sent two of his disciples,

³ For Herod, having seized John, bound him, and put him in prison for Herodias, his brother Philip's wife: ⁴ For John said to him, It is not lawful for thee to have her:

¹⁷ For this Herod, having sent, took John, and bound him in prison because of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife: for he married her. ¹⁸ For John said to Herod, That it is not lawful for thee to have thy brother's wife.

¹ Now in the fifteenth year of the supremacy of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being leader of Judea, and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and Philip his brother being tetrarch of Iturea and the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanias the tetrarch of Abilene,

¹⁶ And also Manasseh poured out innocent blood exceeding much, till he filled Jerusalem mouth to mouth; besides his sins which he caused Judah to sin to do evil in the eyes of Jehovah.

⁴ And also the innocent blood which he poured forth, (and he will fill Jerusalem with innocent blood) and Jehovah would not pardon.

¹⁷ And after the death of Jehoiada came the chiefs of Judah, and they will Worship to the king. Then the king heard to them. ¹⁸ And they will forsake the house of Jehovah the God of their fathers, and they will serve the statues and the images: and wrath will be upon Judah and Jerusalem in this their trespass ¹⁹ And he will send prophets among them to turn them back to Jehovah; and they will testify against them: and they gave not ear. ²⁰ And the spirit of God clothed Zechariah son of Jehoiada the priest, and he will stand from above to the people, and say to them, Thus said God, Wherefore are ye passing by the commands of Jehovah, and ye shall not prosper? for ye forsook Jehovah, and he will forsake you. ²¹ And they will conspire against him, and stone him with stone by the commands of the king in the enclosure of the house of Jehovah. ²² And Joash the king remembered not the kindness which Jehoiada his father did with him, and he will kill his son. And in his death he said, Jehovah will see and seek out

¹⁶ For they will be mocking upon the messengers of God, and despising his words, and scoffing at his prophets, even to the bringing up the wrath of Jehovah against his people, even to no healing.

²⁶ And they will be perverse, and they will rebel against thee, and they will cast thy law behind their back, and they killed thy prophets who testified against them to turn them back to thee, and they will make great reproaches.

³⁰ In vain did I strike your sons; they received no instruction: your sword consumed the prophets as a lion destroying.

³⁵ And the farmers having taken his servants, truly one they stripped, and one they killed, and one they stoned. ³⁶ Again he sent other servants, more than the first, and they did to them likewise. ³⁷ And afterwards he sent to them his son, saying, They will be changed by my son. ³⁸ And the farmers, seeing the son, said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and possess his inheritance. ³⁹ And having taken, they cast out of the vineyard, and killed. ⁴⁰ When, therefore, the lord of the vineyard should come, what will he do to those farmers? ⁴¹ They say to him, He will miserably destroy these wicked, and let out the vineyard to other farmers, who will give back to him the fruits in their seasons.

⁶ And the rest, having seized his servants, were insolent, and killed them. ⁷ And the king, having heard, was angry, and having sent his armies, destroyed those murderers, and burned their city.

³¹ Wherefore ye bear testimony to yourselves, that ye are the sons of those having slain the prophets. ³² And fill ye up yourselves the measure of your fathers. ³³ Serpents, generations of vipers, how would ye flee from the judgment of hell?

³¹ In the same day certain Pharisees came near, saying to him, Come out, and go from thence: for Herod wishes to kill thee. ³² And he said to them, Having gone, say to that fox, Behold, I cast out demons, and complete cures to day and to morrow, and the third day I am completed. ³³ But I must go to day and to morrow and the following: for it is not possible for a prophet to perish out of Jerusalem. ³⁴ Jerusalem, Jerusalem, killing the prophets, and striking with stones those having been sent to her; how often I wished to gather thy children together, which manner a hen her young brood under the wings, and ye would not!

²⁴ For John was not yet cast into prison.

¹⁵ They also having slain the Lord Jesus, and their own prophets, and having driven you out; and not pleasing God, and opposite to all men; ¹⁶ Hindering us from speaking to the nations that they might be saved, to fill up their sins always: and the wrath of God has come before upon them even to the end.

⁶ For they poured out the blood of the holy, and of the prophets, and thou didst give them blood to drink i for they are worthy.

¹³ Then Jesus approaches from Galilee to Jordan, to John, to be immersed by him. ¹⁴ And John hindered him, saying, I have need to be immersed by thee, and dost thou come to me? ¹⁵ And Jesus having answered said to him, Permit now; for so it is suitable for us to complete all justice: then he permitted him. ¹⁶ And Jesus, having been immersed, went up straight from the water, and, behold, the heavens were opened to him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending as a dove, and coming upon him. ¹⁷ And behold a voice from the heavens, saying, This is my dearly beloved Son, in whom I was contented.

²³ And having loosed the crowds, he went up into a mount apart to pray: and being evening, he was there alone.

⁹ And it was in those days Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was immersed by John in Jordan. ¹⁰ And quickly coming up from the water, he saw the heavens cleft asunder, and the Spirit, as a dove, descending upon him: ¹¹ And a voice was from the heavens; Thou art my dearly beloved Son, in whom I was contented.

¹⁶ And he was retreating into the deserts, and praying.

¹⁸ And it was in his being alone praying, his disciples were with him: and he asked them, saying, Whom do the crowds say me to be?

²⁸ And it was after these words about eight days, and having taken Peter and John and James, he went up into the mount to pray. ²⁹ And it was in his praying, the look of his face was another, and his clothing white, shooting forth lightning.

³² And John testified, saying, That I have seen the Spirit descending as a dove from heaven, and it remained up on him. ³³ And I knew him not: but he having sent me to immerse in water, this said to me, Upon whomsoever thou shouldest see the Spirit descending, and remaining upon him, this is he immersing in the Holy Spirit. ³⁴ And I have seen, and testified that this is the Son of God.

²⁷ Now has my soul been troubled; and what should I say? O Father, save me from this hour: but for this came I to this hour. ²⁸ Father, honour thy name. Then came a voice from heaven, I have also honoured, and will again honour.

⁷ I will recount for a law of Jehovah: He said to me, Thou my son; this day I begat thee.

¹ Behold my servant, I will hold fast in him; my chosen, my soul delighted; I gave my spirit upon him: he shall bring forth judgment to the nations.

¹⁷ And behold a voice from the heavens, saying, This is my dearly beloved Son, in whom I was contented.

¹⁸ Behold my servant, which I have chosen: my dearly beloved, in whom my soul was contented; I will put my spirit upon him, and he shall proclaim judgment to the nations.

⁵ He yet speaking, behold, a shining cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is my dearly beloved Son, in whom I was contented; hear ye him.

⁴³ He trusted upon God; let him now deliver him, if he desires him: for he said, That I am the Son of God.

²¹ And he began to say to them, That this day has this writing been filled up in your ears.

³⁴ And he saying these things, there was a cloud, and it overshadowed them: and they were afraid in their going into the cloud. ³⁵ And there was a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is my dearly beloved Son: hear him.

³² And John testified, saying, That I have seen the Spirit descending as a dove from heaven, and it remained up on him.

³⁸ Jesus from Nazareth, how God anointed him with the Holy Spirit and power; who passed through doing good, and healing all oppressed by the devil; for God was with him.

¹³ Who saved us from the power of darkness, and transferred into the kingdom of the Son of his love:

⁴ To whom approaching, a living stone, truly disapproved of by men, and chosen by God, highly valued,

¹⁷ For having received from God the Father honour and glory, and such a voice brought to him from the magnificent glory, This is my dearly beloved Son, in whom I was contented. ¹⁸ And this voice brought from heaven we heard, being with him in the holy mountain.

⁴⁶ And Joseph the son of thirty years in his standing before Pharaoh, king of Egypt; and Joseph will go forth from the face of Pharaoh, and will pass over all the land of Egypt

³ From the son of thirty years and above, and to the son of fifty years, all coming in to war to do the works of the tent of appointment

³⁵ From the son of thirty years and above, even to the son of fifty years, all going forth to war, to the service in the tent of appointment

³⁹ From the son of thirty years and above, even to the son of fifty years, all going forth to war, for the service in the tent of appointment,

⁴³ From the son of thirty years, even to the son of fifty years, all going forth to war, for the service in the tent of appointment;

⁴⁷ From the son of thirty years and above, and even to the son of fifty years, all going forth to serve the works of the service, and the works of lifting up in the tent of appointment;

¹ The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, son of David, son of Abraham.

⁶ And Jesse begat David the king; and David the king begat Solomon of her of Urias

¹⁶ And Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, being called Christ, the anointed.

¹⁷ From then Jesus began to proclaim, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of the heavens has drawn near.

⁵⁵ Is not this the son of the carpenter? is not his mother called Mary? and his brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas?

³ Is not this the carpenter, son of Mary, and brother of James, and Joses, and Jude, and Simon and are not his sisters here with us? And they were scandalized in him.

²³ And Jesus himself was beginning about thirty years, being, as was thought, the son of Joseph, of Eli, ²⁴ Of Matthat, of Levi, of Melchi, of Janna, of Joseph, ²⁵ Of Mattathias, of Amos, of Naum, of Esli, of Naggai, ²⁶ Of Maath, of Mattathias, of Semei, of Joseph, of Juda, ²⁷ Of Joanna, of Rhesa, of Zorobabel, of Salathiel, of Neri,

³¹ Of Melea, of Menan, of Mattatha, of Nathan, of David,
