⁹ Thus said Jehovah of armies, saying. Judge ye the judgment of truth, and do mercy and compassions each to his brother. ¹⁰ And the widow and the orphan, the stranger and the poor, ye shall not oppress; and ye shall not purpose evil in your heart a man to his brother. ¹¹ And they will refuse to attend, and they will give a stubborn shoulder, and their ears they made heavy from hearing. ¹² And their heart they set a diamond from hearing the instruction and the words which Jehovah of armies sent by his spirit by the hand of the former prophets: and there will be great wrath from Jehovah of armies. ¹³ And it will be as he called and they heard not; so they shall call, and I will not hear, said Jehovah of armies:

³⁴ Therefore, behold, I send to you prophets, and the wise, and scribes: and of them shall ye kill and crucify; and of them shall ye chastise in your assemblies, and drive out from city to city, ³⁵ So that all the just blood shed upon the earth might come upon you, from the blood of just Abel to the blood of Zacharias, son of Barachias, whom ye killed between the temple and altar. ³⁶ Truly I say to you, All these shall come upon this generation. ³⁷ Jerusalem, Jerusalem, killing the prophets, and stoning those sent to her; how often did I wish to gather thy children together, which manner a bird gathers together her young broods under the wings, and ye would not!

⁴⁷ Woe to you! for ye build the tombs of the prophets, and your fathers killed them. ⁴⁸ Surely ye testify and assent to your fathers' works: for they indeed killed them, and ye build their tombs. ⁴⁹ And for this said the wisdom of God, I will send them prophets and the sent, and of them shall they kill and drive out: ⁵⁰ That the blood of all the prophets shed from the foundation of the world be required of this generation; ⁵¹ From the blood of Abel even to the blood of Zacharias perishing between the altar and house: yea, I say to you, It shall be required of this generation.

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!

¹⁰ And in time he sent a servant to the farmers, that they give him from the fruit of the vineyard: and the farmers, skinning, sent him out empty. ¹¹ And he added to send another servant: and they also having skinned and dishonoured him, sent forth empty. ¹² And he added to send a third; and also, having wounded, they cast him out.

⁵² Which of the prophets did not your fathers drive out and they slew them announcing beforehand of the coming of the Just; of whom ye have now been traitors and murderers:

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;

³⁶ And others received trial of jestings and scourges, and further, of bonds and imprisonment: ³⁷ They were stoned, they were cut by sawing, they were tried, they died by the slaughter of the sword: they wandered about in sheepskins and goatskins; being in want, pressed, treated ill;

³⁰ And thou wilt protract over them many years, and thou wilt testify against them by thy spirit in the hand of thy prophets: and they gave not ear, and thou wilt give them into the hand of the people of the lands.

²⁵ From the day that your fathers came forth out of the land of Egypt even to this day, and I will send to you all my servants the prophets, in the day rising early and sending: ²⁶ And they heard not to me and they inclined not their ear, and they will harden their neck: they did evil above their fathers. ²⁷ And speak thou to them all these words, and they will not hear to thee: and call to them, and they will not answer. ²⁸ And say to them, This a nation that heard not to the voice of Jehovah its God, and they received not instruction: faithfulness perished, and was eat off from their mouth.

¹² Rejoice and be transported with joy; for much your reward in the heavens for so they drove out the prophets which before you.

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.

⁶ And the rest, having seized his servants, were insolent, and killed them.

³⁷ Jerusalem, Jerusalem, killing the prophets, and stoning those sent to her; how often did I wish to gather thy children together, which manner a bird gathers together her young broods under the wings, and ye would not!

¹³ But I say to you, that Elias also has come, and they did to him whatever they would, as it has been written of him.

²² Happy are ye, when men hate you, and when they separate you, and reproach, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man's sake. ²³ Rejoice in that day, and skip: for, behold, your reward much in heaven: for according to these did their fathers to the prophets.

³⁶ Be ye therefore compassionate, as also your Father is compassionate.

² And he will say, Take now thy son, thine only, whom thou didst love, Isaak, and go by thyself to the land of Moriah; and carry him there for a burnt offering upon one of the mountains of which I told thee.

³ And Israel loved Joseph above all his sons, for to him he was the son of old age: and he made for him a tunic (reaching to the soles of the feet).

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

²⁷ All things were delivered to me by my Father; and none knows the Son, except the Father; nor knows any one the Father, except the Son, and to whom the Son will reveal

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.

⁶³ But Jesus was silent. And the chief priest having answered, said to him, I cause thee to swear by the living God, that thou tell us, if thou art Christ, the Son of God.

¹¹ And a voice was from the heavens; Thou art my dearly beloved Son, in whom I was contented.

⁷ And a cloud was overshadowing them: and a voice came out of the cloud, saying, This is my dearly beloved Son: hear ye him.

²² And the Holy Spirit descended in a bodily form as a dove upon him, and there was a voice from heaven, saying, Thou art my dearly loved Son; in thee I was contented.

³⁵ And there was a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is my dearly beloved Son: hear him.

¹⁴ And the Word was flesh, and dwelt with us, (and we beheld his glory, as the glory of the only born of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

¹⁸ None has seen God at any time; the only born Son, he being in the bosom of the Father, he has declared.

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

⁴⁹ Nathanael answers and says to him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God; thou art the King of Israel.

¹⁶ For God so loved the world, that he gave his only born Son, that every one believing in him perish not, but have eternal life. ¹⁷ For God sent not his Son into the world that he judge the world; but that the world might be saved through him. ¹⁸ He believing in him is not judged: and he not believing has been already judged, because he has not believed in the name of the only born Son of God.

³⁵ The Father loves the Son, and he has given all things into his hand.

²³ That all should honour the Son, as they honour the Father. He honouring not the Son, honours not the Father having sent him.

¹ God, formerly multifariously and abundantly having spoken to the fathers in the prophets, ² At these last days spake to us in the Son, whom he set heir of all things, by whom also he made the times;

⁶ And when again he should bring in the firstborn to the habitable globe, he says, And let all the angels of God worship him.

⁹ In this was the love of God manifested in us, that God has sent his only born Son into the world, that we might live by him.

¹¹ And this is the testimony, that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. ¹² He having the Son has life; and he not having the Son of God has not life.

⁹ And they sing a new song, saying, Worthy art thou to take the book, and to open its seals: for thou wert slain, and didst purchase us to God by thy blood from every tribe, and tongue, and people, and nation; ¹⁰ And madest us kings and priests to our God: and we shall reign upon the earth. ¹¹ And I saw, and heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the living creatures and the elders: and their number was myriads of myriads, and thousands of thousands; ¹² Saying with a great voice, Worthy is the Lamb slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and praise. ¹³ And every creature which is in heaven, and in earth, and under the earth, and upon the sea, which are, and all things in them, heard I saying, To him sitting upon the throne, and to the Lamb, praise, and honour, and glory, and strength, for the times of times.

¹⁵ And I will put enmity between thee and between the woman, and between thy seed and between her seed; it shall lie in wait for thee as to the head, and thou shalt lie in wait for him as to the heel.

²⁰ And now, come, and we will kill him, and throw him into one of the pits; and we will say, An evil beast devoured him: and we shall see what will be his dreams.

² The kings of the earth will place themselves, and the princes sat down together against Jehovah and against his Messiah. ³ We will tear away his bands, and we will cast away his cords from us.

¹² Many bulls surrounded me: the strong of Bashan surrounded me. ¹³ They opened their mouth upon me, a lion rending and roaring. ¹⁴ I was poured out as water, and all my bones were sundered; my heart was as wax being melted in the midst of my bowels. ¹⁵ My strength was dried up as the potsherd, and my tongue cleaving to my jaws; and thou wilt set me for the dust of death.

⁷ Thus said Jehovah redeeming Israel, his Holy One, to the despised of soul, to him being abhorred of the nations, to a servant of rulers, Kings shall see and princes arose, and they shall worship him for sake of Jehovah who was faithful, the Holy One of Israel, and he shall choose thee.

⁷ He was pressed, and he was afflicted, and he will not open his mouth: he was brought as a sheep for the slaughter, and as a sheep before his shearers being dumb and he will not open his mouth. ⁸ From constraint and from judgment was he taken, and his generation who shall comprehend? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he struck for them.

³ And Herod the king having heard, was stirred up, and all Jerusalem with him. ⁴ And assembling all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he inquired of them where Christ should be born. ⁵ And they said to him, In Bethlehem of Judea: for thus has it been written by the prophet: ⁶ And thou Bethlehem, land of Judah, by no means art thou least among the leaders of Judah for out of thee shall come forth the leader, who shall feed my people. ⁷ Then Herod having secretly called for the magi, searched thoroughly from them the time of the star appearing. ⁸ And having sent them to Bethlehem, he said, Having gone, examine thoroughly concerning the child; and when ye should find, announce ye to me, so that I also, having gone, will worship him. ⁹ And they having heard the king went forth; and, behold the star they saw in the sunrising, it led before them, till having come, it stood above where the young child was. ¹⁰ And seeing the star, they rejoiced with great joy exceedingly. ¹¹ And having come into the house, they found the young child with Mary his mother, and having fallen, they worshipped him; and having opened their treasures they brought forward to him gifts, gold, and frankincense, and myrrh. ¹² And having received intimation of the divine will in a dream not to turn back to Herod, by another way they went back to their own country. ¹³ And they, having gone back, lo, the messenger of the Lord appears in a dream to Joseph, saying, Having risen, take to thyself the young child and his mother and flee into Egypt, and be there till I speak to thee; for Herod is about to seek the young child to destroy him.

¹⁶ Then Herod, seeing he was deluded by the magi, was very angry, and having sent, destroyed all the children which in Bethlehem, and in all its bounds, from two years and under, according to the time he examined thoroughly of the magi.

¹² And they sought to seize him, and they feared the crowd: for they knew that he spake this parable against them: and having let him go they went away.

⁴⁷ Then gathered together the chief priests and Pharisees a council, and said, What do we? for this man does many signs. ⁴⁸ If we let him thus go, all will believe on him: and the Romans will come and take away also our place and nation. ⁴⁹ And a certain one of them, Caiaphas, being chief priest that year, said to them, Ye know nothing, ⁵⁰ Neither turn ye in your thoughts that it is profitable to us, that one man die for the people, and the nation perish not.

²³ This one, surrendered by the fixed counsel and foreknowledge of God, having taken by lawless hands, having fastened, ye slew:

²⁸ Saying, Did we not announce to you by order, not to teach by this name? and, behold, ye have filled Jerusalem with your teaching, and ye desire to bring upon us this man's blood.

²⁷ For they dwelling in Jerusalem, and their rulers, not having known him, and the voices of the prophets which being read in every sabbath, having judged, they filled up. ²⁸ And having found no cause of death, they desired Pilate to have him slain.

³³ Hear another parable: A certain man was master of a house, who planted a vineyard, and put a hedge around it, and digged in it a winepress, and let it out to farmers, and went abroad:

³⁹ And having taken, they cast out of the vineyard, and killed.

¹⁵ And having cast him without the vineyard, they killed. What therefore will the lord of the vineyard do to them?

¹¹ for of whom the blood of the living ones is brought for sin into the holies by the chief priest, the bodies of these are burned without the camp. ¹² Wherefore also Jesus, that he might consecrate the people by his own blood, suffered without the camp. ¹³ Therefore we should come to him without the camp, bearing his reproach.

¹⁵ And if ye shall reject my laws. and if your soul shall abhor my judgments so as not to do all my commands, to your breaking my covenant: ¹⁶ Surely I will do this to you, and I appointed over you terror, consumption, and burning fever, destroying the eyes and consuming the soul: and ye sowed in vain your seed, and your enemies shall eat it. ¹⁷ And I gave my face against you, and ye were slain before your enemies: and they hating you ruled over you, and ye fled and none pursued you. ¹⁸ And if yet these ye will not hear to me, I added to chastise you seven times for your sins.

²³ And if by these ye will not be admonished by me, and ye went hostile with me; ²⁴ And I went also hostile with you, and I struck you, also I, seven for your sins.

²⁷ And if by this ye shall not hear to me, and ye went hostile with me; ²⁸ And I went hostile with you in anger; and I chastised you, I also, seven for your sins.

²⁶ I took the heavens and the earth to witness against you this day, that perishing, ye shall perish to-morrow from the land which ye are passing over Jordan there to possess it: ye shall not prolong the days upon it, but being destroyed, ye shall be destroyed. ²⁷ And Jehovah scattered you among the peoples, and ye remained men of number among the nations where Jehovah will lead you there.

¹⁵ And it being, if thou shalt not hear to the voice of Jehovah thy God, to watch to do all his commands and his laws which I command thee this day; and all these curses came upon thee, and overtook thee: ¹⁶ Cursed thou in the city, and cursed thou in the field. ¹⁷ Cursed thy basket and thy remainders. ¹⁸ Cursed the fruit of thy belly, and the fruit of thy land, the offspring of thine oxen, and the flocks of thy sheep. ¹⁹ Cursed thou in thy coming in, and cursed thou in thy going out ²⁰ Jehovah will send upon thee the curse and the consternation, and the rebuke, upon all the sending forth of thy hand which thou shalt do, till he destroyed thee, and till he caused thee to perish quickly: on account of the evil of thy works by which thou forsookest me. ²¹ Jehovah shall cleave upon thee death, till his consuming thee from the land which thou wentest there to possess it ²² Jehovah shall strike thee with consumption, and with burning fever, and with inflammation, and with sword and with burning, and with blasting, and with yellowness: and they shall pursue thee till he have destroyed thee. ²³ And the heavens which over thy head were brass, and the earth which is under thee, iron. ²⁴ Jehovah will give the rain of thy land dust and clay: from the heavens shall it come down upon thee, till he destroyed thee. ²⁵ And Jehovah will give thee smitten before thine enemies: in one way thou shalt go forth against him, and in seven ways shalt thou flee before his face; and thou wert for a shaking to all the kingdoms of the earth. ²⁶ And thy carcass was for food to all the birds of the heavens and to the cattle of the earth, and none terrifying. ²⁷ Jehovah shall strike thee with the burning sore of Egypt, and with tumors, and with scratching, and with the itch of which thou shalt not be able to be healed. ²⁸ Jehovah will strike thee with madness and with blindness and with astonishment of heart; ²⁹ And thou wert groping at noon as the blind shall grope in darkness, and thou shalt not succeed with thy ways: and thou wert only oppressed and stripped all the days, and none saving. ³⁰ Thou shalt betroth a wife, and another man shall lie with her: thou shalt build a house and shall not dwell in it; thou shalt plant a vineyard and thou shalt not lay it open. ³¹ Thine ox slaughtered before thine eyes and thou shalt not eat from it: thine ass stripped from before thee and shall not turn back to thee; thy sheep, given to thine enemies, and none to thee saving. ³² Thy sons and thy daughters given to another people, and thine eyes seeing and failing for them all the day: and nothing for the strength of thy hand. ³³ The fruit of thy land and all thy labors, a people which thou knewest not shall eat: and thou wert only oppressed and broken all the days. ³⁴ And thou wert mad from the sight of thine eyes which thou shalt see. ³⁵ Jehovah shall strike thee with an evil burning sore upon thy knees and upon thy legs, which thou shalt not be able to heal from the sole of thy foot to thy crown. ³⁶ Jehovah shall lead thee, and thy king which thou shalt set up over thee, to a nation which thou knewest not thou and thy fathers; and thou servedst there other gods, wood and stone. ³⁷ And thou wert for an astonishment, for a parable, for a sharp saying in all the peoples where Jehovah shall lead thee there. ³⁸ Thou shalt bring out much seed to thy field, and shalt gather little, for the locust shall devour it ³⁹ Thou shalt plant vineyards and thou shalt work; and thou shalt not drink the wine, and thou shalt not gather, for the worm shall eat it ⁴⁰ Olive trees shall be to thee in all thy boundaries, and thou shalt not be anointed with oil, for thine olive shall slip away. ⁴¹ And thou shalt beget sons and daughters, and they shall not be to thee, for they shall go into captivity. ⁴² All thy wood and the fruit of thy land shall the grasshopper seize. ⁴³ The stranger which is in the midst of thee shall go up above thee, going up, going up; and thou shalt go down beneath, beneath. ⁴⁴ He shall lend to thee and thou shalt not lend to him: he shall be for head, and thou shalt be for tail. ⁴⁵ And all these curses came upon thee and pursued thee and overtook thee, till he destroyed thee; for thou heardst not to the voice of Jehovah thy God, to watch his commands and his laws which he commanded thee. ⁴⁶ And they were upon thee for a sign and for a wonder, and upon thy seed even to forever. ⁴⁷ Because that thou servedst not Jehovah thy God injoy and in a good heart for the multitude of all things. ⁴⁸ And thou servedst thine enemies which Jehovah shall send forth against thee in hunger and in thirst, and in nakedness, and in want of all things and he gave a yoke of iron upon thy neck till his destroying thee. ⁴⁹ Jehovah shall raise up against thee a nation from far off, from the extremity of the earth, as the eagle shall fly, whose tongue thou shalt not hear; ⁵⁰ A nation strong of face who shall not lift up the face to the old man, and shall not compassionate the young. ⁵¹ And it shall eat the fruit of thy cattle, and the fruit of thy land till he destroyed thee: which shall not leave to thee grain, new wine or new oil, the offspring of thine oxen and the flocks of thy sheep, till his destroying thee. ⁵² And he passed upon thee in all thy gates until the coming down of thy high and inaccessible fortresses which thou trustest in them in all thy land: and he passed upon thee in all thy gates in all thy land which Jehovah thy God gave to thee. ⁵³ And thou atest the fruit of thy belly, the flesh of thy sons and thy daughters, which Jehovah thy God gave to thee, in the distress and in the straitness which thine enemy shall press upon thee: ⁵⁴ The man tender in thee, and very delicate, his eye shall be evil upon his brother, and upon the wife of his bosom, and upon the remainder of his sons which he shall leave: ⁵⁵ The gift to one of them of the flesh of his sons which he shall eat from: nothing remaining to him of all things in the distress and in the straitness which his enemy shall press upon thee in all thy gates. ⁵⁶ She tender and delicate in thee, who tried not to set the sole of her foot upon the earth from delicateness and tenderness, her eye shall be evil upon the husband of her bosom, and upon her son, and upon her daughter, ⁵⁷ And upon her afterbirth coming forth from between her feet, and upon her sons which she shall bear: for she will eat them in want of all things, in secret, in the distress and in the straitness which thine enemy shall press upon thee in thy gates. ⁵⁸ If thou shalt not watch to do all the words of this law being written in this book, to fear this honored and fearful name JEHOVAH THY GOD; ⁵⁹ And Jehovah made thy smiting wonderful, and the smitings of thy seed, great and lasting blows, and evil and lasting diseases. ⁶⁰ And he turned back upon thee all the sicknesses of Egypt, of which thou west afraid from their face, and they did cleave to thee. ⁶¹ Also every disease and every blow which is not written in the book of this law, Jehovah will bring them up upon thee, till he destroyed thee. ⁶² And ye were left few in extension, instead of which ye were as the stars of the heavens for multitude, because thou heardst not to the voice of Jehovah thy God. ⁶³ And it being as Jehovah rejoiced over you to do you good and to multiply you, so Jehovah shall rejoice over you to destroy you and to cut you off; and ye were torn away from the land which thou wentest in there to possess it. ⁶⁴ And Jehovah scattered thee among all peoples from the end of the earth even to the end of the earth; and thou servedst there other gods which thou knewest not, thou and thy fathers, wood and stone. ⁶⁵ And among these nations thou shalt not rest, and there shall not be rest to the sole of thy foot: and Jehovah gave to thee there a trembling heart and a wasting away of the eyes, and a faintnesss of soul. ⁶⁶ And thy lives were hung before thee; and thou wert afraid night and day, and thou shalt not trust to thy life ⁶⁷ In the morning thou shalt say, Who shall give evening? and in the evening thou shalt say, Who shall give morning? from the feat of thy heart which thou shalt fear, and from the sight of thine eyes which thou shalt see. ⁶⁸ And Jehovah turned thee back to Egypt in ships, in the way; which I said to thee, Thou shalt not add more to see it: and ye were sold there to thine enemies for servants, and for maids, and none buying

¹⁵ And it was as every good word came upon you which Jehovah your God spake to you, so Jehovah will bring upon you every evil word till his destroying you from off this good land which Jehovah your God gave to you.

²⁴ Because I called and ye will refuse; I stretched forth my hands, and none attending; ²⁵ And ye will reject all my counsels, and ye desired not my reproofs: ²⁶ Also I will laugh at your ruin: I will deride in the coming of your terror; ²⁷ In your terror coming as a destroying tempest, and your ruin shall come as a whirlwind; in the coming upon you of straits and distress. ²⁸ Then they shall call upon me, and I will not answer; they shall seek me, and shall not find me; ²⁹ For that they hated knowledge, and chose not the fear of Jehovah: ³⁰ They desired not for my counsels: and derided all my reproofs. ³¹ And they shall eat from the fruit of their way, and be filled with their purposes

⁵ And now I will make known to you now what I do to my vineyard, taking away its hedge, and it was for consuming, breaking down its wall, and it was for a treading down. ⁶ And I will make it a desolation; it shall not be pruned and it shall not be dressed, and there came up sharp points and thorns: and upon the clouds I will command from raining rain upon it ⁷ For the vineyard of Jehovah of armies is the house of Israel, and the men of Judah the plant of his pleasures: and he will wait for judgment, and behold bloodshed; for justice, and behold a cry.

¹⁷ Is it not yet a very little and Lebanon turned back to Carmel, and Carmel shall be reckoned for a forest?

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. ¹⁶ And judgment dwelling in the desert, and justice shall sit in Carmel.

¹⁵ And ye set down your name for a curse to my chosen: and the Lord Jehovah slaying thee, and he will call his servants another name.

³ O my mountain in the field, thy strength, all thy treasures I will, give for plunder, thy heights for sin in all thy bounds.

²⁶ And after sixty and two weeks, Messiah shall be cut off, and not for him: and the people of the leader coming shall destroy the city and the holy place; and its end with an overflowing, and even to the end of the war desolations were determined. ²⁷ And he made strong the covenant to many one week: and half the week he shall cause the sacrifice and gift to cease, and upon the wing of abominations laying waste, even to the completion, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolation.

⁷ O sword, be raised up against my shepherd, and against the man of my fellowship, says Jehovah of armies: strike the shepherd and the sheep shall be scattered; and I turned back my hand upon the little ones. ⁸ And it was in all the land, says Jehovah, two parts in it shall be cut off, they shall expire; and the third shall be left in it 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.

¹¹ For from the rising of the sun and even to its going down, great my name among the nations; and in every place incense being brought to my name, and a clean gift: for great my name among the nations, said Jehovah of armies.

⁹ And think not to say in yourselves we have Abraham a father; for I say to you that God can of these stones raise up children to Abraham. 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. ¹¹ I truly immerse you in water to repentance; but he coming after me is stronger than I, whose shoes I am not fit to lift up; he shall immerse in the Holy Spirit, and fire 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.

¹¹ And I say to you, That many shall come from the sunrising and the descents, and shall recline with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of the heavens. ¹² But the sons of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness; weeping shall be there, and gnashing of teeth. ¹³ And Jesus said to the captain of a hundred, Retire; as thou hast believed, let it be to thee. And his servant was healed in that hour.

⁴⁵ Then he goes, and takes with himself seven other spirits, worse than he, and having come in, they dwell there: and the last things of that man are worse than the first. So also shall it be to this evil generation.

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.

⁴³ For this I say to you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and shall be given to a nation doing its fruits.

⁷ And the king, having heard, was angry, and having sent his armies, destroyed those murderers, and burned their city.

³⁴ Therefore, behold, I send to you prophets, and the wise, and scribes: and of them shall ye kill and crucify; and of them shall ye chastise in your assemblies, and drive out from city to city, ³⁵ So that all the just blood shed upon the earth might come upon you, from the blood of just Abel to the blood of Zacharias, son of Barachias, whom ye killed between the temple and altar. ³⁶ Truly I say to you, All these shall come upon this generation. ³⁷ Jerusalem, Jerusalem, killing the prophets, and stoning those sent to her; how often did I wish to gather thy children together, which manner a bird gathers together her young broods under the wings, and ye would not! ³⁸ Behold, your house is left to you desolate.

²⁷ But those mine enemies, not haying wished me to reign over them, bring hither, and slaughter before me.

⁴¹ And as he drew near, having seen the city, he wept over it, ⁴² Saying, That if thou knewest, also thou, and also in this thy day, the things for thy peace! and now have they been hid from thine eyes. ⁴³ For the days shall come upon thee, and thine enemies shall cast a trench about thee, and keep thee together from all sides, ⁴⁴ And they shall level thee with the ground, and thy children in thee; they shall not leave in thee stone upon stone; because thou knewest not the time of thine inspection.

¹⁵ And having cast him without the vineyard, they killed. What therefore will the lord of the vineyard do to them? ¹⁶ He shall come and destroy these farmers, and give the vineyard to others. And having heard, they said, It may not be.

⁴⁶ And Paul and Barnabas speaking freely, said, To you was it first necessary for the word of God to be spoken: but since ye reject it, and judge yourselves not worthy of eternal life, behold, we turn to the nations. ⁴⁷ For so has the Lord commanded us, I have set thee for a light of the nations, for thee to be for salvation even to the last of the earth. ⁴⁸ And the nations having rejoiced, honoured the word of the Lord: and they believed, as many as were drawn out for eternal life.

²³ And having appointed him a day, many came to him to the lodging; to whom testifying, he set forth the kingdom of God, and persuading them concerning Jesus, both from the law of Moses, and the prophets, from morn to eve. ²⁴ And some truly were persuaded by things spoken, and some disbelieved. ²⁵ And being at variance with one another, they were let go, Paul having said one word, That well spake the Holy Spirit by Esaias the prophet to our fathers, ²⁶ Saying, Go to this people, and say, By hearing ye shall hear, and not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and ye should not perceive: ²⁷ For the heart of this people was thickened, and with ears heard they heavily, and their eyes they closed; lest they should see with the eyes, and with ears should hear, and with the heart they should understand, and turn back, and I should heal them. ²⁸ Be it known to you therefore, that salvation of God was sent to the nations, and they shall hear.

³⁰ What then shall we say? That the nations, not following justice, overtook justice, and the justice of faith. ³¹ And Israel following the law of justice, reached not the law of justice. ³² Wherefore? Because not of faith, but as of the works of the law. For they stumbled at the stumblingstone; ³³ As has been written, Behold I set in Zion a stone of stumbling and rock of offence: and every one believing on him shall not be ashamed.

²⁰ And Esaias is very confident, and says, I was found of them not seeking me; I was manifested to them not asking for me.

²² The stone the builders refused will be for the head of the corner. ²³ This was from Jehovah; he was wonderful in our eyes.

¹⁶ For this, thus said the Lord. Jehovah, Behold me placing for a foundation in Zion a stone, a stone of trial, a corner precious, a foundation being founded: and he believing shall not hasten.

³ And he said to them, Have ye not read what David did, when he was hungry, and they with him;

⁴ And having answered, he said to them, Have ye not read, that he having made from the beginning, made them male and female,

¹⁶ And they said to him, Hearest thou what these say? And Jesus says to them, Yes; have ye never read, That out of the mouths of young children and sucklings thou hast adjusted praise?

⁴² Jesus says to them, Have ye never read in the writings, The stone which the builders disapproved of, this was for the head of the corner? This was from the Lord, and it was wonderful in your eyes.

³¹ And for the rising up of the dead, read ye not that spoken by God, saying,

²⁵ And he said to them, Did ye never read what David did, when he had need, and hungered, himself, and those with him?

²⁶ And concerning the dead that they are raised: have ye not read in the book of Moses, at the bramble, how God spake to him, I the God of Abraham, and God of Isaac, and God of Jacob

¹⁴ And when ye see the abomination of desolation, that spoken by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, (let him reading understand,) then let them in Judea flee to the mountains:

³ And having answered to them, Jesus said, Have ye not read this, which David did when he hungered, and they being with him;

¹⁷ And having looked upon them, he said, What then is this written, The stone which the builders disapproved of, this has been for the head of the corner? ¹⁸ Every one having fallen upon that stone shall be crushed, and upon whomsoever it should fall, it shall winnow him.

¹¹ This is the stone set at nought by you building, he having been for the head of the corner. ¹² And salvation is in no other: for neither is another name given under heaven among men, in which we must be saved.

³³ As has been written, Behold I set in Zion a stone of stumbling and rock of offence: and every one believing on him shall not be ashamed.

²⁰ Built upon the foundation of the sent, and of the prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the corner stone; ²¹ In whom all the building fitted together increases into a holy temple in the Lord: ²² In whom also ye are builded together for the dwelling of God in the Spirit.

⁷ Therefore honour to you believing: and to the unbelieving, the stone which the builders disapproved of has become the head of the corner, ⁸ And a stone of stumble, and rock of offence, they disbelieving the word stumble: to which also they were set.

²³ For no enchantment in Jacob, and no divination in Israel; according to the time it will be said to Jacob and to Israel, What did God do!

²³ This was from Jehovah; he was wonderful in our eyes.

⁵ See ye among the nations, and look, and wonder; ye shall wonder: for the working a work in your days ye will not believe if it shall be recounted.

¹² And all were affected in mind, and were in doubt, saying one to another, What may this mean to be?

³² This Jesus God raised up, of which all we are witnesses. 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. ³⁴ For David ascended not into the heavens: and he himself says, The Lord said to my Lord, Sit from my right hand, ³⁵ Even till I set thine enemies the footstool of thy feet. ³⁶ Therefore let all the house of Israel know certainly, that God made him Lord and Christ, this Jesus whom ye crucified.

¹² And Peter, having seen, answered to the people, men, Israelites, why wonder ye at this? or why look ye intently at us, as by our own power or devotion having made him to walk? ¹³ The God of Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, God of our fathers, has honoured his child Jesus; whom ye have delivered up, and denied him before the face of Pilate, he having judged to loose. ¹⁴ And ye denied the Holy and Just, and demanded a man, a murderer, to be yielded to you. ¹⁵ And ye killed the Author of life, whom God raised from the dead; of whom we are witnesses. ¹⁶ And by faith of his name, this, whom ye see and know, his name made firm, and faith which by him, gave him this completeness before you all.

⁴⁰ See ye, therefore, that that spoken by the prophets come not upon you. ⁴¹ See, ye despisers, and wonder, and perish: for I work a work in your days, which ye would not believe if any recount to you.

⁸ To me, the least of all the holy ones, was this grace given, to announce the good news in the nations, the untraceable riches of Christ. ⁹ And to enlighten all what the distribution of the mystery, concealed from times immemorial in God, having created all things by Jesus Christ: ¹⁰ That it might now be made known to beginnings and powers in the heavenlies by the church the manifold wisdom of God, ¹¹ According to the purpose of times immemorial which he made in Christ Jesus our Lord:

²⁷ To whom God would make known what the riches of the glory of this mystery in the nations; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:

¹⁶ And manifestly great is the mystery of devotion: God was manifested in the flesh, was justified in the Spirit, was seen by angels, was proclaimed in the nations, was believed on in the world, was received up in glory.

⁷ And Nathan will say to David, Thou the man. Thus said Jehovah the God of Israel, I anointed thee for king over Israel, and I delivered thee from the hand of Saul; ⁸ And I will give thee the house of thy lord and thy lord's wives into thy bosom, and I will give to thee the house of Israel and Judah; and if little, I will add to thee according to these and according to these. ⁹ Wherefore didst thou despise the word of Jehovah to do evil in his eyes? Uriah the Hittite thou didst strike with the sword, and his wife thou tookest to thee for a wife, and thou didst kill him with the sword of the sons of Ammon. ¹⁰ And now the sword shall not depart from thy house even to forever; because that thou didst despise me, and thou wilt take the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be to thee for wife. ¹¹ Thus said Jehovah, Behold me raising up evil against thee from thy house, and I took thy wives before thine eyes and gave to thy neighbor, and he lay with thy wives before the eyes of this sun. ¹² For thou didst in secret: and I will do this word before all Israel, and before the sun. ¹³ And David will say to Nathan, I sinned against Jehovah. And Nathan will say to David, Jehovah also passed over thy sin; thou shalt not die. ¹⁴ Only that despising, thou didst cause the enemies of Jehovah to despise by this thing, also the son born to thee, dying, shall die. ¹⁵ And Nathan will go to his house. And Jehovah will strike the child which Uriah's wife bare to David and he will be sick.

³⁸ And the prophet will go and stand by the king by the way; and he will be disguised with a bandage over his eyes. ³⁹ And it will be the king passing by, and he cried to the king, and he will say, Thy servant went forth into the midst of the battle; and behold, a man turned aside, and he will bring a man to me, and say, Watch this man: if missing, he shall be missed, and thy soul being instead of his soul, or thou shalt weigh a talent of silver. ⁴⁰ And it will be thy servant doing here and there, and he was not. And the king of Israel will say to him, Thus thy judgment; thou didst decide. ⁴¹ And he will hasten and remove the bandage from his eyes; and the king of Israel will know him that he is from the prophets.

¹⁷ And the word of Jehovah will be to Elijah the Tishbite, saying, ¹⁸ Arise, go down to meet Ahab king of Israel, which is in Shomeron: behold, in the vineyard of Naboth where he went down there to possess it ¹⁹ And speak to him, saying, Thus said Jehovah, Didst thou kill and also possess? And speak to him, saying, said Jehovah, In the place which the dogs licked the blood of Naboth, dogs shall lick thy blood, also thine. ²⁰ And Ahab will say to Elijah, Didst thou find me, O mine enemy? And he will say I found: because thou didst sell thyself to do evil in the eyes of Jehovah, ²¹ Behold me bringing evil to thee, and I took away after thee, and I cut off to Ahab him pissing against a wall and him shut up and left in Israel; ²² And I gave thy house as the house of Jeroboam son of Nebat, and as the house of Baasha, son of Ahijah, for the irritation which thou didst irritate, and thou wilt cause Israel to sin. ²³ And also to Jezebel spake Jehovah, saying, Dogs shall eat Jezebel in the fortification of Jezebel. ²⁴ Him dying to Ahab in the city shall dogs eat; and him dying in the field shall the birds of the heavens eat ²⁵ Only there was not as Ahab who was sold to do evil in the eves of Jehovah, whom Jezebel stimulated him. ²⁶ And he will cause abhorrence exceeding to go after blocks, according to all which the Amorites did whom Jehovah dispossessed from the face of the sons of Israel. ²⁷ And it will be when Ahab heard these words, and he will rend his garments, and put sackcloth upon his flesh, and he will fast and lie down in sackcloth, and go softly.

²⁶ But if we say, Of men; we fear the crowd; for all hold John as a prophet.

⁴⁵ And the chief priests and Pharisees, having heard his parable, knew that he spake of them. ⁴⁶ And seeking to lay hold on him, they feared the crowd, since they held him as a prophet.

²² And having heard, they wondered, and having left him, they departed.

¹⁸ And the scribes and chief priests heard, and they sought how they might destroy him : for they feared him, for all the crowd were struck with amazement at his teaching.

³² But if we say, Of men; they feared the people : for all held John, that he was truly a prophet.

⁶ And if we say, Of men; all the people will stone us: for they are persuaded John to be a prophet.

¹⁹ And the chief priests and scribes sought to lay hands upon him in the same hour; and they feared the people: for they knew he spake this parable against them.

²⁵ Then said some of the Jerusalemites' Is not this he, whom they seek to kill?

³⁰ Then sought they to seize him: and none put the hand upon him, for his hour had not yet come.

⁴⁴ And some of them wished to seize him; but none put hands upon him.

¹² My friends and my neighbors will stand from before my stroke, and my kindred stood from far off.

⁵ All the day they will grieve my words: against me all their purposes for evil ⁶ They will sojourn, they will hide, they will watch my heels as they waited for my soul

⁵ The proud hid a snare for me, and cords; they spread a net at the hand of the way; they set snares for me. Silence.

²¹ Leading a man into sin by a word, and laying snares for him doing justice in the gate, and they will turn aside the just one by vanity.

¹⁸ And they will say, Come, and we will purpose purposes against Jeremiah; for law shall not perish from the priest, and counsel from the wise, and the word from the prophet Come, and we will strike him with the tongue, and we will not attend to any of his words.

⁶ And Jesus said to them, Attend and keep from the leaven of the Pharisees and the Sadducees.

¹⁵ Then the Pharisees, having gone, took counsel how they might ensnare him in word. ¹⁶ And they send to him their disciples, with the Herodians, saying, Teacher, we know that thou art true, and teachest the way of God in truth, and care is to thee for none; for thou lookest not to the face of men. ¹⁷ Therefore say to us, What seems to thee Is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar, or not? ¹⁸ But Jesus, having known their evil, said, Why tempt ye me, hypocrites? ¹⁹ Show me the piece of money of tribute. And they brought him a drachma. ²⁰ And he says to them, Whose is this image and inscription? ²¹ They say to him, Caesar's. Then says he to them, Give back then to Caesar the things of Caesar; and the things of God to God. ²² And having heard, they wondered, and having left him, they departed.

⁶ And the Pharisees having come out, quickly with the Herodians were making counsel against him, that they might destroy him.

¹⁵ And he enjoined them, saying, See ye, look away from the leaven of the Pharisees, and the leaven of Herod.

⁵⁴ Laying wait for him, and seeking to seize something out of his mouth, that they might accuse him.

²⁰ And having observed narrowly, they sent liers-in-wait, feigning themselves to be just, that they might seize upon his word, to deliver him to the beginning and authority of the leader. ²¹ And they asked him, saying. Teacher, we know that thou sayest and teachest rightly, and thou receivest not the face, but teachest in truth the way of God: ²² Is it lawful for us to give tribute to Caesar, or not ²³ And having perceived their craft, he said to them, Why tempt ye me? ²⁴ Show me drachma. Whose image and inscription has it? And having answered they said, Caesar's. ²⁵ And he said to them, Return therefore to Caesar, Caesar's things, and to God the things of God. ²⁶ And they were not able to seize upon his word before the people: and having wondered at his answer, they were silent.

² Thou shalt not be after multitudes for evil; thou shalt not answer for the multitude to stretch out after multitudes to pervert justice. ³ And the poor one thou shalt not make proud in his cause. ⁴ If thou shalt meet thine enemy's ox or his ass wandering, turning back, thou shalt turn him back to him. ⁵ If thou shalt see the ass of him hating thee, lying down under his load, and thou didst desist from cutting loose for him, releasing, thou shall release with him. ⁶ Thou shalt not pervert the judgment of thy needy in his cause.

¹⁹ Thou shalt not turn away Judgment; thou shalt not look upon and thou shalt not take a gift, for the gift will blind the eyes of the wise and will pervert the words of the just.

⁹ He saying to his father and to his mother, I saw him not, and his brethren he knew not, and he knew not his sons; for they watched thy sayings and they will keep thy covenant. ¹⁰ And they shall teach thy judgments to Jacob, and thy law to Israel; they will put incense at thy nose, and whole burnt-offerings upon thine altar.

¹³ And Micaiah will say, Jehovah lives, for what God shall say I shall speak it.

⁷ And now the fear of Jehovah shall be upon you: watch ye and do: for not iniquity with Jehovah our God, and lifting up of faces, and taking a gift

¹² To be known to the king that the Jews who went up from with thee to us, came to Jerusalem, building the perverse and bad city, and they completed its wall, and they will repair its foundations. ¹³ Now to be known to the king that if this city shall be built and the walls be completed, tribute, excise, and toll, they will not give, and in the end it will endamage the kings.

³⁷ And its produce being much for the kings whom thou gavest over us in our sins: and ruling over our bodies and upon our cattle according to their will, and we in great straits.

² They will speak vanity each with his neighbor: smooth lips, with a heart and a heart will they speak ³ Jehovah will cut off all smooth lips, and the tongue speaking great things: ⁴ Who said, By our tongues we shall prevail; our lips are with us: who is Lord over us?

²¹ They were divided from the wrath of his mouth, and his heart drew near: his words were soft above oil, and they drawn swords.

² O Jehovah, deliver my soul from lips of falsehood, from a tongue of deceit.

²³ Silver dross covering over a pot-sherd, burning lips and an evil heart. ²⁴ He hating will be known by his lips, and he will set deceit in his midst; ²⁵ When his voice will compassionate, thou shalt not believe him, for seven abominations in his heart ²⁶ Hatred will be covered by deceit, his evil will be revealed in the convocation.

⁷ And the Lord Jehovah will help to me: for this I was not ashamed; for this I set my face as the flint, and I shall know that I shall not be ashamed. ⁸ He drawing near justifying me: who shall contend with me? we will stand together: who the lord of my judgment? he shall draw near to me. ⁹ Behold, the Lord Jehovah will help for me; who is he that shall condemn me? behold, they all shall decay as a garment; the moth shall eat them.

¹⁹ For this, thus said Jehovah, If thou wilt turn back, and I will turn thee back, thou shalt stand before me: and if thou shalt bring forth the precious from the vile thou shalt be as my mouth: they shall turn back to thee and thou shalt not turn back to them. ²⁰ And I gave thee to this people for a wall of brass, fortified: and they shall war against thee, and they shall not prevail against thee: for I am with thee to save thee and to deliver thee, says Jehovah. ²¹ And I delivered thee out of the hand of the evil, and I redeemed thee from the hand of the terrible.

² And they will say to Jeremiah the prophet, Now shall our supplication fall before thee, and pray thou for us to Jehovah thy God, for all this remnant; for we were left few from many as thine eyes see us. ³ And Jehovah thy God will announce to us the way which we shall go in it, and the word which we shall do.

²⁰ For ye erred in your souls when ye sent me to Jehovah your God, saying, Pray for us to Jehovah our God; and according to all Jehovah will say, so announce to us, and we will do.

⁶ And thou son of man, thou shalt not be afraid of them, and thou shalt not be afraid of their words, if rebels and thorns with thee, and thou art dwelling with scorpions: thou shalt not be afraid of their words, and thou shalt not be terrified from their face, for they a house of contradiction. ⁷ And speak my word to them, if they will hear and if they will desist: for they are contradiction.

⁸ But I was filled with power, with the spirit of Jehovah, and judgment and strength to announce to Jacob his transgression, and to Israel his sin.

²⁵ He says, Yes. And when he came into the house, Jesus anticipated him, saying, What seems to thee, Simon? from whom do the kings of the earth take taxes or census? from their sons, or from strangers? ²⁶ Peter says to him, From strangers. Jesus said to him, Then are the children free. ²⁷ But that we should not scandalize them, having gone to the sea, cast a fish hook, and lift up the fish coming up first, and having opened its mouth, thou shalt find a gold coin: having taken that, give to them for me and thee.

¹⁷ Therefore say to us, What seems to thee Is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar, or not?

⁴⁵ And having come, quickly having approached him, he says, Rabbi, rabbi; and kissed him.

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

² And they began to accuse him, saying, We found this perverting the nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Caesar, saying himself to be Christ a King.

¹⁸ He speaking from himself, seeks his own glory: but he seeking the glory of him having sent him, he is true, and no injustice is in him.

⁶ For this also pay ye taxes: for they are workmen of God, persevering in this same.

² For if I grieve you, and who is he making me glad, except he being grieved by me

¹⁷ For we are not as the many adulterating the word of God: but as of purity, but as of God, before the face of God speak we in Christ.

¹ For this, having this service, as we were compassionated, we lose not courage;

¹¹ Knowing therefore the fear of the Lord, we persuade men; and we are made manifest to God; and I hope also to have been made manifest to your consciences.

¹⁶ So that we from now know none according to the flesh: and if also we have known Christ according to the:flesh, but now we know no more.

¹⁰ For now do I persuade men, or God? or seek I to please men? for if I had yet pleased men, I should not have been the servant of Christ.

⁶ And from them seeming to be something, (whatever they were, it concerns me nothing: God receives not man's face:) for they seeming entrusted nothing to me:

¹¹ And when Peter came to Antioch, I opposed him to the face, for he was to be rebuked. ¹² For before certain came from James, he ate with the nations: and when they came, he drew down, and separated himself, being afraid of them of the circumcision. ¹³ And the rest of the Jews also dissembled with him; so that Barnabas also was carried away with their dissimulation. ¹⁴ But when I saw that they went not upon the strait road according to the truth of the good news, I said to Peter before all, If thou, being a Jew, livest according to the nations, and not according to the Jews, why forcest thou the nations to live as the Jews?

⁴ But as we have been tried by God to be entrusted with the good news, so we speak; not as pleasing men, but God, trying our hearts:

² Son of man, propose an enigma and use a parable to the house of Israel;

¹⁸ But Jesus, having known their evil, said, Why tempt ye me, hypocrites?

² And the Pharisees having come near, asked him, if it is lawful for a man to loose his wife; tempting him.

²³ And having perceived their craft, he said to them, Why tempt ye me?

²⁴ And Jesus himself trusted not himself to them, for he knew all, ²⁵ For also he had no need that any should testify concerning man: for he knew what was in man.

¹⁷ He says to him the third time, Simon of Jonas, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved that he said the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said to him, Lord, thou knowest all; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus says to him, Feed my sheep.

⁹ And Peter said to her, For what was it agreed by you to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? behold, the feet of them having interred thy husband at the door, and they shall carry thee out.

⁹ Neither should we tempt Christ, as also some of them tempted, and were destroyed by serpents.

¹³ And there is no creation invisible before him: and all things naked and exposed, neck and face to view, to the eyes of him with whom to us is the word.

²³ And her children will I kill in death; and all the churches shall know that I am he searching the reins and hearts: and I will give to you each according to our works.

¹⁹ Truly the firm foundation of God has stood, having this seal, The Lord knows them being his. And, Let every one naming the name of Christ remove from iniquity.

¹² He conquering, I will make him a pillar in the temple of my God, and without shall he no more come forth: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem, which comes down from heaven from my God: and my new name.

¹² Bringing to nought the purposes of the crafty, and their hand shall not do an undertaking. ¹³ He took the wise in their craftiness, and the counsel of the perverse was headlong.

²⁶ My son, thou shalt give thy heart to me, and thine eyes shall delight in my way.

²¹ My son, fear thou Jehovah and the king: thou shalt not intermingle with those changing:

⁴ When thou shalt vow a vow to God, thou shalt not delay to repay it; for there is no desire in the foolish: repay what thou shalt vow. ⁵ Good that thou shalt not vow rather than thou shalt vow and not requite.

⁶ A son will honor the father, and the servant his lord; and if I a father, where mine honor? and if I their lord, where my fear? said Jehovah of armies to you, O priests despising my name. And ye said, In what did we despise thy name?

³³ And the crowds having heard, were astonished at his teaching.

⁴⁶ And none could answer him a word, nor dared any one from that day to ask him any more.

³⁰ And thou shalt love the Lord thy God from thy whole heart, and from thy whole soul, and from thy whole mind, and from thy whole strength: this the first command.

¹⁹ And Peter and John having answered to them, said, If it is just before God to hear you rather than God, judge ye. ²⁰ For we cannot, the things we have seen and heard, not speak.

¹³ Neither present ye your members weapons of injustice to sin: but present yourselves to God, as living from the dead, and your members weapons of justice to God.

¹ I Beseech you therefore, brethren, by the compassions of God, to present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, pleasing to God, your reasonable service.

⁷ Therefore restore debts to all; to whom tribute, tribute; to whom recompense, recompense; to whom fear, fear; to whom honour, honour.

¹⁹ Or know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit in you, which ye have from God, and ye are not your own? ²⁰ For ye were bought for a price: then glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are of God.

²⁴ And If all prophesy, and any unbelieving, or ignorant private individual come in, he is refuted by all, he is examined by all: ²⁵ And so the hidden things of his heart are made manifest; and so having fallen upon the face, he will worship God, proclaiming that God is truly with you.

¹⁴ For the love of Christ holds us together; having judged this, that if one died for all, then all dead: ¹⁵ And he died for all, that the living no more live to themselves, but o him having died for them, and having risen.

¹⁷ Honour all. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honour the king.

²³ In that day the Sadducees came to him, they saying there is to be no rising up: and they asked him, ²⁴ Saying, Teacher, Moses said, If any one die, not having children, his brother shall marry his wife, and raise up seed to his brother. ²⁵ And with us were seven brethren: and the first, having married, died; and having no seed, he left his wife to his brother. ²⁶ And likewise the second, and third, even till the seven. ²⁷ And after all died also the woman. ²⁸ Therefore in the rising up whose of the seven shall the woman be? for they all had her. ²⁹ And Jesus, having answered, said to them, Ye are led astray, not having known the writings, nor the power of God. ³⁰ For in the rising up they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the messengers of God in heaven. ³¹ And for the rising up of the dead, read ye not that spoken by God, saying, ³² I am God of Abraham, and God of Isaac, and God of Jacob? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living. ³³ And the crowds having heard, were astonished at his teaching.

²⁷ And certain of the Sadducees having approached, speaking against there being a rising up, asked him, ²⁸ Saying, Teacher, Moses wrote to us, If any one's brother die. having a wife, and he die without children, that his brother should take the wife, and raise up seed to his brother. ²⁹ Therefore were there seven brethren: and the first having taken a wife, died without children. ³⁰ And the second took the wife, and he died without children. ³¹ And the third took her; and likewise also the seven: and they left no children, and died. ³² And after all died the woman also. ³³ Then in the rising up, whose wife of them is she for seven had her a wife. ³⁴ And Jesus having answered, said to them, The sons of this life marry, and are given in marriage ³⁵ And they having been deemed worthy to obtain that life, and the rising up of the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage: ³⁶ For neither can they die any more: for they are like to messengers; and are sons of God, being the sons of the rising up. ³⁷ And that the dead are raised, Moses made known at the bramble, when he calls the Lord, God of Abraham, God of Isaac, and God of Jacob. ³⁸ And he is not God of the dead, but of the living: for all live to him. ³⁹ And certain of the scribes having answered, said, Teacher, thou speakest well. ⁴⁰ And they dared no more to ask him anything.

¹ And they speaking to the people, the priests, and commander of the temple, and the Sadducees, resisted them, ² Being exercised because they taught the people, and announced in Jesus the rising up from the dead.

⁶ And Paul having known that one part is of the Sadducees, and the other of the Pharisees, cried in the council, Men, brethren, I am a Pharisee, son of a Pharisee: for the hope and rising up of the dead am I judged. ⁷ And he having spoken this, there was a dissension of the Pharisees and Sadducees: and the multitude was divided. ⁸ For truly the Sadducees say there is no rising up, neither messenger, nor spirit: and the Pharisees acknowledge both. ⁹ And there was a great cry: and the scribes of the Pharisees' part, having risen, struggled with obstinacy, saying, We find nothing evil in this man: but if a spirit or messenger spake to him, we should not contend against God.

¹³ And if there is no rising up of the dead, neither has Christ risen: ¹⁴ And if Christ has not risen, then our proclaiming vain, and also your faith vain. ¹⁵ And we are also found false witnesses of God; for we testified for God that he raised up Christ: whom he raised not, if therefore the dead are not raised. ¹⁶ For if the dead are not raised, neither was Christ raised up: ¹⁷ And if Christ was not raised up, your faith is vain; yet are ye in your sins. ¹⁸ Then they also having died in Christ perished.

¹⁸ Who concerning the truth missed their aim, saying the rising up has already been; and they subvert the faith of some.

⁸ And Judah will say to Onan, go in to thy brother's wife, and marry her, and raise up seed to thy brother.

⁵ If brethren shall dwell together and one of them died, and a son not to him, the wife of the dead shall not be without to a man a stranger: her husband's brother shall go in to her, and he took her to him for a wife, and he acted the husband's brother to her. ⁶ And it is the first-born which she shall bear shall rise up upon the name of his brother the dead, and his name shall not be wiped from Israel ⁷ And if the man shall not desire to take his brother's wife, and his brother's wife went up to the gate to the old men, and said, My husband's brother refused to raise up to his brother a name in Israel, and he would not act my husband's brother. ⁸ And the old men of his city called to him and spake to him: and he stood and said, I desired not to take her. ⁹ And his brother's wife drew near to him before the eyes of the old men, and drew off his shoe from his foot, and spit in his face, and answered and said, Thus shall it be done to the man who will not build up the house of his brother. ¹⁰ And his name was called in Israel, The house of him having his shoe drawn off.

¹¹ And Naomi will say, Turn back, my daughters: wherefore will ye go with me? are yet to me sons in my bowels, and they were to you for husbands? ¹² Turn back, my daughters, therefore; for I grew old from being for a husband. If I said, There is hope to me, also I was this night to a husband, and also I bare sons; ¹³ Will ye wait for them till they shall grow? Will remain shut up for them not to be for a husband? Nay, my daughters, for it is bitter to me greatly for you, that the hand of Jehovah will go forth against me.

⁵ And Boaz will say, In the day of thy buying the field from the hand of Naomi, and from Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of the dead, thou boughtest it to raise up the name of the dead upon his inheritance.

²⁵ And with us were seven brethren: and the first, having married, died; and having no seed, he left his wife to his brother. ²⁶ And likewise the second, and third, even till the seven. ²⁷ And after all died also the woman. ²⁸ Therefore in the rising up whose of the seven shall the woman be? for they all had her.

²⁹ Therefore were there seven brethren: and the first having taken a wife, died without children. ³⁰ And the second took the wife, and he died without children. ³¹ And the third took her; and likewise also the seven: and they left no children, and died. ³² And after all died the woman also. ³³ Then in the rising up, whose wife of them is she for seven had her a wife.

¹⁴ Shall the word of Jehovah be difficult, at the appointed time? I will return to thee, according to the time of life, and a son to Sarah.

²⁵ And I knew he redeeming me lived, and at last he shall rise up upon the dust: ²⁶ And after they destroyed my skin, this, and from my flesh I shall see God: ²⁷ Which I shall see for myself, and mine eyes beheld, and not a stranger: my reins were finished in my bosom.

²⁰ To the law and to the testimony if they will not speak according to this word, because no morning is in them.

⁸ He swallowed up death for glory, the Lord Jehovah will wipe away tears from off all faces; and the reproach of his people he will remove from off all the earth, for Jehovah spake.

¹⁹ Thy dead shall live, with my corpse shall they rise. Awake and shout, ye dwelling in dust: for the dew of brightness is thy dew, and the land of the shades shall fall.

⁷ Also the stork in the heavens knew her appointment; and the turtle-dove, and the swallow, and the twitterer watched the time of their coming; and my people knew not the judgment of Jehovah. ⁸ How shall ye say, We are wise, and the law of Jehovah with us? Behold, surely for falsehood he made the style of the scribes a lie. ⁹ The wise were ashamed, they were confounded, and they will be taken: behold, they rejected in the word of Jehovah; and what wisdom to them?

¹⁷ Thou Lord Jehovah! behold thou madest the heavens and the earth by thy great power and by thine arm stretched forth; any word shall not be separated from thee.

¹ The hand of Jehovah was upon me, and he will bring me forth in the spirit of Jehovah, and he will set me down in the midst of the valley; and it was filled with bones. ² And he caused me to pass over them round about, round about: and behold, exceeding many upon the face of the valley; and behold, exceedingly dry. ³ And he will say to me, Son of man, shall these bones live? And saying, Thou Lord Jehovah knoweth. ⁴ And he will say to me, Prophesy over these bones, and say to them, Ye dry bones, hear the word of Jehovah. ⁵ Thus said the Lord Jehovah to these bones: Behold, I bring upon you the spirit, and ye lived. ⁶ And I gave sinews upon you, and I brought up flesh upon you, and I drew skin over you, and I gave spirit in you, and ye lived; and ye shall know that I am Jehovah. ⁷ And I prophesied as I was commanded: and there will be a voice as I prophesied, and behold a shaking, the bones will draw near, bone to his bone. ⁸ And I saw and behold, upon them sinews and flesh came up, and the skin will draw over them from above: and no spirit in them. ⁹ And he will say to me, prophesy to the spirit, prophesy, son of man, and say to the spirit, thus said the Lord Jehovah: Come from the four winds, O wind and blow upon these slain, and they shall live. ¹⁰ And I prophesied as he commanded me, and the spirit will come upon them and they will live, and they will stand upon their feet, an army great, exceedingly, exceedingly. ¹¹ And he will say to me, Son of man, these bones all the house of Israel: behold them saying, Our bones were dried up, and our hope perished, and we were cut off to us. ¹² For this, prophesy and say to them, Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I opened your graves and brought you up from your graves, O my people, and I brought you to the land of Israel. ¹³ And ye knew that I was Jehovah in my opening your graves and in my bringing you up from your graves, O my People ¹⁴ And And I gave my spirit in you, and ye lived, and I caused you to rest upon your land: and ye knew that I Jehovah spake, and I did, says the Lord Jehovah.

² And many sleeping in the earth of dust shall awake, these to eternal life, and these to reproach and eternal abhorrence.

² He will revive us after two days: in the third day he will raise us up and we shall live before him.

⁶ For I delighted in mercy and not sacrifice; the knowledge of God more than burnt-offerings.

¹² I will write to him his multitude of my instructions; they were reckoned as a strange thing.

¹⁴ From the hand of hades will I redeem them; from death will I ransom them: I will be thy words, O death, I will be thy cutting off, O hades: consolation will be hid from mine eyes.

²⁹ And Jesus, having answered, said to them, Ye are led astray, not having known the writings, nor the power of God.

²⁷ And Jesus having beheld them says, With men impossible, but not with God: for all things are possible with God.

³⁷ For nothing shall be impossible with God.

³⁹ Search the writings; for ye think in them to have eternal life: and these are they testifying of me.

⁹ For not yet knew they the writing, that he must rise from the dead.

¹¹ And they were of more noble birth than those in Thessalonica, who received the word with all willingness, and examined the writings daily, if these things might hold thus.

⁴ For whatever before was written before are for our instruction was before written that by patience and consolation able of the writings we might have hope.

¹⁹ And what the surpassing greatness of his power to us believing, according to the action of the might of his strength,

²¹ Who will change the body of our humiliation, for it to be conformable to the body of his glory, according to the operation by which he is able to place all things under himself.

¹⁵ And that from infancy thou hast known the holy letters, able to render thee wise to salvation by faith which in Christ Jesus. ¹⁶ All writing divinely inspired, and profitable for doctrine, for refutation, for correction, for instruction in justice: ¹⁷ That the man of God might be perfect, finished for every good work.

³⁰ For in the rising up they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the messengers of God in heaven.

³⁵ And they having been deemed worthy to obtain that life, and the rising up of the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage: ³⁶ For neither can they die any more: for they are like to messengers; and are sons of God, being the sons of the rising up.

⁴² So also the rising up of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption: ⁴³ It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power: ⁴⁴ It is sown an animated body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is an animated body, and there is a spiritual body. ⁴⁵ So also has been written, The first man Adam was born into a living soul; and the last Adam into a spirit making alive. ⁴⁶ But the first not spiritual, but animated; then the spiritual. ⁴⁷ The first man of earth, made of earth: the second man the Lord from heaven. ⁴⁸ As the made of earth, such also the made of earth: and as the celestial, such also the celestial. ⁴⁹ And as we have borne the image of the made of earth, we shall also bear the image of the celestial. ⁵⁰ And this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither does corruption inherit incorruption. ⁵¹ Behold, I speak to you a mystery; We truly shall not all be laid asleep, but we shall all be changed, ⁵² In an atom, in the twinkling of the eye, in the last trumpet: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. ⁵³ For this corrupted must put on incorruption, and this mortal put on immortality. ⁵⁴ And when this corrupted shall put on incorruption, and this mortal shall put on immortality, then shall be the word written, Death was swallowed down in victory.

²² But ye have come to mount Sion, and to the city of the living God, heavenly Jerusalem, and to myriads of angels, ²³ To the assembly of people, and church of the firstborn, transcribed in the heavens, and to God the Judge of all, and. to the spirits of the just perfected,

² Dearly beloved, now are we the children of God, and it has not yet been manifested what we shall be: and we know that, if he be manifested, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.

⁷ And I set up my covenant between me and between thee, and between thy seed after thee to their generations for a covenant of eternity; to be a God to thee and to thy seed after thee. ⁸ And I gave to thee and to thy seed after thee, the land of thy sojournings with all the land of Canaan for an eternal possession; and I was God to them.

²⁴ And Jehovah will be seen to him in that night., and will say, I am the God of Abraham thy father: thou shalt not be afraid, for I am with thee, and I praised thee, and I increased thy seed, for sake of Abraham my servant

¹³ And behold, Jehovah was set upon it, and he will say, I Jehovah, the God of Abraham thy father, and the God of Isaak: the land which thou liest upon it, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed.

⁴² If the God of my father, the God of Abraham, and the fear of Isaak was not with me, then now, empty thou hadst sent me away. My affliction and the labor of my hand God saw and he rebuked yesterday.

⁹ And Jacob will say, God of my father Abraham, and God of my father Isaak, Jehovah having said to me, Turn back to thy land and to thy family, and I will do well with thee.

²⁰ And he will set there an altar, and he will call upon it, God the God of Israel.

² And the messenger of Jehovah will be seen to him in a flame of fire from the midst of the bramble; and he will see, and behold, the bramble burning in fire, and the bramble was not consumed. ³ And Moses will say, I will now turn aside and see this great sight, why the bramble will not burn. ⁴ And Jehovah will see that he turned aside to see, and God will call to him from the midst of the bramble, and he will say, Moses, Moses! And he will say, Behold me. ⁵ And he will say, Thou shalt not draw near hither; draw off thy shoes from thy feet, for the place which thou standest upon it, this is holy land. ⁶ And he will say, I am the God of thy father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaak and the God of Jacob. And Moses will hide his face, for he will be afraid to look to God.

¹⁶ Come, and gather together the old men of Israel, and say to them, Jehovah, the God of your fathers, was seen to me, the God of Abraham, Isaak and Jacob, saying, Reviewing, I reviewed you and what was done to you in Egypt

⁸ And thou, Israel, my servant Jacob whom I chose thee, the seed of Abraham my beloved: ⁹ Whom I held thee fast from the extremities of the earth, and I called thee from its sides, and saying to thee, Thou my servant; I chose thee, and I rejected thee not ¹⁰ Thou shalt not fear, for I am with thee: thou shalt not look around for help for I thy God will strengthen thee; also I helped thee; also I held thee up with the right hand of my justice.

³¹ And for the rising up of the dead, read ye not that spoken by God, saying, ³² I am God of Abraham, and God of Isaac, and God of Jacob? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living.

¹⁰ And have ye not read this writing; The stone which the builders disapproved of, this was for the head of the corner:

³⁷ And that the dead are raised, Moses made known at the bramble, when he calls the Lord, God of Abraham, God of Isaac, and God of Jacob.

³⁰ And forty years completed, a messenger of the Lord was seen to him in the desert of mount Sina, in a flame of fire in a bramble. ³¹ And Moses having seen, wondered at the sight: and he coming near to observe attentively, the voice of the Lord was to him, ³² I the God of thy fathers, God of Abraham, and God of Isaac, and God of Jacob. And Moses being trembling, dared not observe attentively.

²⁷ Cease, my son, to hear instructions for erring from the words of knowledge.

²⁴ And Jesus having answered, said to them, For this do ye not go astray, not knowing the writings, nor the power of God?

¹⁷ (As it has been written, That have set thee father of many nations,) over against him who believed God, making alive the dead, and calling things not being as being.

⁹ For, for this Christ also died, and also arose, and returned again to life, that he might also reign over the dead and the living.

¹⁰ Wherefore I was offended with that generation and I said, They always wander in heart; and they knew not my ways.

¹³ According to faith died all these, not having received the promises, but having seen them from afar, and been persuaded, and having embraced, and assented that they are strangers and newly arrived from a foreign country upon earth. ¹⁴ For they saying such things show clearly that they seek a country. ¹⁵ And truly if they remembered that from which they came out, they had time to have returned. ¹⁶ And now they feel an ardent desire for a better, that is, a heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed of them to be called their God: for he prepared for them a city.

¹⁹ Whoever therefore, should loose one of the least of these commands, and so teach men, he shall be called least in the kingdom of the heavens: but whoever should do and teach, he shall be called great in the kingdom of the heavens.

¹⁸ He says to him, Which? And Jesus said, thus: Thou shalt not murder; Thou shalt not commit adultery; Thou shalt not steal; Thou shalt not bear false witness;

³⁴ And the Pharisees having heard that he muzzled the Sadducees, were gathered upon the same. ³⁵ And one of them, skilled in the law, asked, tempting him, and saying, ³⁶ Teacher, which the great command in the law? ³⁷ And Jesus said to him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with thy whole heart, and with thy whole soul, and with thy whole mind. ³⁸ This is the first and the great command. ³⁹ And the second like it: Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. ⁴⁰ In these two commands hang the whole law and the prophets.

²³ Woe to you scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye exact tenths and dill and cummin, and ye have left the weightier things of the law, judgment, and mercy, and faith: these it was necessary to do, and not to let go those.

²⁵ And, behold, a certain skilled in the law stood up, tempting him, and saying, Teacher, what having done shall I inherit eternal life ²⁶ And he said to him, What has been written in the law? how readest thou ? ²⁷ And he having answered, said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God from thy whole heart, and from thy whole soul, and from thy whole strength; and thy neighbor as thyself. ²⁸ And he said to him, Thou hast answered rightly; this do and thou shalt live.

⁴² But woe to you, Pharisees! for ye tithe spearmint and rue and every plant, and ye pass by the judgment and love of God: these ought ye to have done, and not to have left those.

³⁹ And certain of the scribes having answered, said, Teacher, thou speakest well.

⁴ Hear, Israel; Jehovah our God is one Jehovah.

¹² And now, Israel, what does Jehovah thy God ask from thee but to fear Jehovah thy God, to go in all his ways, and to love him, and to serve Jehovah thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul,

⁶ And Jehovah thy God circumcised thy heart and the heart of thy seed, to love Jehovah thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul, for the sake of thy life.

³⁷ He loving father or mother above me, is not worthy of me; and he loving son or daughter above me, is not worthy of me.

⁹ And call not your father upon earth: for one is your Father, which in the heavens.

³² And the scribe said to him, Well, Teacher, in truth hast thou spoken: for one God is; and there is no other but he: ³³ And to love him from the whole heart, and from the whole understanding, and from the whole soul, and from the whole strength, and to love the neighbor as himself, is more than all the whole burnt offerrings, and the sacrifices.

²⁷ And he having answered, said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God from thy whole heart, and from thy whole soul, and from thy whole strength; and thy neighbor as thyself.

³⁰ Since one God, who will justify circumcision of faith, and uncircumcision by faith.

⁴ Concerning food therefore of sacrifices to idols, we know that an idol nothing in the world, and that none other God but one.

²⁰ And a mediator is not of one, and God is one.

⁵ (And the end of the proclamation is love out of a pure heart, and a good consciousness, and unfeigned faith:

⁵ For one God, and one mediator of God and men, the man Christ Jesus;

¹⁹ Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: and the evil spirits believe, and shudder.

²⁵ To the only wise God our Saviour, glory and majesty, and strength and power, also for now and for all times. Amen.

⁵ And love thou Jehovah thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul and with all thy might

¹³ Thou shalt not oppress thy neighbor, and thou shalt not rob: the wages of the hireling shall not remain with thee till morning.

¹⁸ Thou shalt not avenge thyself nor keep anger with the sons of thy people, and didst love thy neighbor as thyself. I Jehovah.

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.

¹⁸ He says to him, Which? And Jesus said, thus: Thou shalt not murder; Thou shalt not commit adultery; Thou shalt not steal; Thou shalt not bear false witness; ¹⁹ Honour thy father and mother; and, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.

³⁹ And the second like it: Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.

³⁶ Which then of these three seems to thee to have been neighbor to him fallen among rubbers.? ³⁷ And he said, He having done mercy with him. Then said Jesus to him, Go thou, and do likewise.

⁸ Owe ye nothing to none, except to love one another: for he loving another has completed the law. 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.

⁴ Love is slow to anger, possesses kindness; love envies not; love vaunts not itself, is not puffed up, ⁵ It demeans itself not unbecomingly, seeks not the things of itself, is not irritated, reckons no evil; ⁶ Rejoices not at injustice, and rejoices with the truth; ⁷ Covers all things, believes all, hopes all things, endures all. ' ⁸ Love never falters: but whether gifts of prophecies, they shall be left unemployed; whether tongues, they shall cease; whether knowledge, it shall be left unemployed.

¹⁴ For all the law is completed in one word, in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.

⁸ If yet ye complete the royal law according to the writing, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself, ye do well: ⁹ And if ye make distinction of faces, ye work sin, being convicted under the law as transgressors. ¹⁰ For whoever shall keep the whole law, and stumble in one, has become bound of all. ¹¹ For he having said, Thou shouldest not commit adultery, said also, Thou shouldest not kill: and if thou commit not adultery, and dost kill, thou hast become a transgressor of the law. ¹² So speak ye, and so do, as about to be judged by the law of liberty. ¹³ For unpropitiated judgment to him not doing mercy; and mercy boasteth against judgment.

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? ¹⁸ My little children, we should not love in word, neither in tongue; but in work and truth. ¹⁹ And in this we know that we are of the truth, and we will yield our hearts before him.

⁷ Dearly beloved, we should love one another: for love is of God; and every one loving has been born of God, and knows God. ⁸ He not loving knows not God; for God is love.

²¹ And this command have we from him, That he loving God love his brother also.

³⁵ Thou sawest to know that Jehovah he is God: no more beside him.

³⁹ And know thou this day, and turn back to thy heart, that Jehovah he is God in the heavens from above and upon the earth underneath: and none yet

⁷ There shall not be to thee other gods before me.

⁸ Ye shall not tremble, and ye shall not be afraid: did I not from thence cause thee to hear? and I announced, and ye my witnesses. Is there a God besides me? and no rock; I knew not

⁵ I am Jehovah, and none yet, no God besides me: I will gird thee and thou knewest me not: ⁶ So that they shall know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that none besides me. I am Jehovah, and none yet

¹⁴ This said Jehovah, The labor of Egypt and the gain of Cush, and of the Sabeans, men of measure, shall pass over upon thee, and to thee shall they be: after thee shall they come in fetters: they shall pass over and to thee shall they worship and supplicate to thee, Surely God is in thee, and none yet: no God.

¹⁸ For thus said Jehovah creating the heavens, He the God forming the earth, and he made it; he prepared it, be created it not in vain, he formed it to be dwelt in: I Jehovah and none besides

²¹ Announce ye, and bring near; also ye shall take counsel together: who caused this to be heard from of old, from then announcing it? was it not I Jehovah? and no God more beside me; a just God and Saviour; none beside me. ²² Look to me all ye ends of the earth and be saved, for I am God, and none else.

⁹ Remember the former things from forever: for I am God and no god besides, and none like me.

¹⁰ And Jehovah the God of truth; he the living God, and king eternal: from his wrath the earth shall tremble, and the nations shall not prevail over his anger. ¹¹ Thus shall ye say to them, The gods who made not the heavens and the earth shall perish from the earth, and from under these heavens. ¹² He made the earth in his power, setting upright the habitable globe by his wisdom, and by his understanding he stretched out the heavens.

²⁹ And Jesus answered him, That the first of all the commands, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord:

²² And Samuel will say, Was it pleasing to Jehovah in burnt-offerings and sacrifices as to hear to the voice of Jehovah? Behold, to hear, above a good sacrifice, and to hearken, above the fat of rams.

⁸ Not for thy sacrifices will I reprove thee and for thy burnt-offerings, being always before me. ⁹ I will not take a bullock from thy house, from thy fold, he goats. ¹⁰ For to me all the beasts of the forest, the cattle upon a thousand mountains. ¹¹ I knew all the birds of the mountains and the moving things of the field with me. ¹² If I shall hunger I shall not say to thee; for to me the habitable globe, and its fulness. ¹³ Shall I eat the flesh of the strong ones, and shall I drink the blood of goats? ¹⁴ Sacrifice to God thanksgiving, and repay thy vows to the Most High: ¹⁵ And call upon me in the day of straits: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt honor me.

²³ He sacrificing praise shall honor me, and he setting the way I will cause him to look upon the salvation of God.

³ To do justice and judgment was chosen by Jehovah above gold.

¹¹ For what to me the multitude of your sacrifices? Jehovah will say: I was filled with the burnt-offerings of rams and the fat of fatlings; and I delighted not in the blood of bullocks, and of he lambs and of he goats. ¹² When ye shall come to be seen before me who sought this from your hand to tread my enclosure. ¹³ Ye shall not add to bring gifts of iniquity; incense, this an abomination to me; the new moon and the Sabbath, the calling of the assembly; I shall not be able to bear vanity and restraining. ¹⁴ Your new moons and your appointments my soul hated; they were for a burden upon me; I was wearied to lift up. ¹⁵ And in the spreading forth of your hands I will hide mine eyes from you.; also when ye shall multiply prayer I hear not: your hands were full of blood. 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.

⁵ Will this be the fast I shall choose? a day for a man to humble his soul? to bend his head as a bulrush, and he will place sackcloth and ashes? wilt thou call this a fast and a day of acceptance to Jehovah. ⁶ Is not this the fast I shall choose? to loose the bands of injustice, to shake off the bundles of the yoke, and to send away the broken free, and ye shall break every yoke? 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.

²¹ Thus said Jehovah of armies, God of Israel; Add your burnt-offerings upon your sacrifices and eat flesh. ²² for I spake not to your fathers, and I commanded them not in the day of bringing them forth out of the land of Egypt, concerning my word of burnt-offering and sacrifice: ²³ But this word I commanded them, saying, Hear to my voice, and I was to you for God, and in shall be to me for a people: and go in all the ways which I shall command you, so that it shall be well to you.

²¹ I hated, I rejected your festivals, and I will not smell in your assemblies. ²² For if ye shall bring up to me burnt-offerirgs, and your gifts, I will not delight; and I will not look upon the peace-offerings of your fatlings. ²³ Remove from me the noise of thy songs; for I will not hear the music of thy lyres. ²⁴ Judgment shall roll as the waters, and justice as a torrent of strength.

⁶ With what shall I come before Jehovah? I will bow to the high God; shall I come before him with burnt-offerings, with calves, the sons of a year? ⁷ Will Jehovah delight in thousands of rams, in ten thousands of torrents of oil? shall I give my first-born my transgression? the fruit of my belly, the sin of my soul? 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?

¹³ And having gone, learn what is this, I wish mercy, and not sacrifice: for I came not to call the just, but the sinful to repentance.

⁷ And if ye knew what it is, I will mercy, and not sacrifice, ye would not have condemned the innocent.

¹ If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not love, I have been the brass of echoes, and the shouting cymbal. ² And if I have the gift of prophecy, and know all mysteries, and all knowledge; and if I have all faith to remove mountains, and have not love, I am nothing. ³ And if I feed out all my goods, and if I deliver my body that I be burned, and have not love, I am profited nothing.

⁸ Farther back, saying, That sacrifice and bringing in and whole burnt offerings and for sin thou wouldest not, neither wert contented with; which are brought in according to law;

¹⁵ They were confounded; they answered no more: they removed words from themselves. ¹⁶ And I waited, (for they will not speak, for they stood, they answered no more:)

²⁰ He shall not break a bruised reed, and smoking flax shall he not quench, till he should draw forth judgment to victory.

⁴⁰ And they dared no more to ask him anything.

¹⁹ And we know that whatever says the law, it speaks to them in the law: that every mouth be shut, and all the world be culpable to God. ²⁰ Therefore from the works of the law shall no flesh be justified before him: for by the law the knowledge of sin.

⁹ And I was living without law once: and the command having come, sin came back to life, and I died.

¹⁹ For I through the law died to the law, that. I might live to God.

⁶ Your word always in grace, Seasoned with salt, to know how it is fitting for you to answer one another.

⁹ Holding firmly the faithful word according to instruction, that he may be able also to beseech in sound doctrine, and to refute those opposing. ¹⁰ For many also are disorderly, vain talkers and infatuates, especially they of the circumcision: ¹¹ Who must be restrained, who subvert whole houses, teaching what they ought not, for the sake of sordid gain.

²⁷ And Jesus passing from thence, two blind ones followed him, crying out and saying, Commiserate us, O son of David.

⁴¹ And the Pharisees having been gathered together, Jesus asked them, ⁴² Saying, What seems to you about Christ? Whose son is he They say to him, David's. ⁴³ He says to them, How then does David in spirit call him Lord, saying, ⁴⁴ The Lord said to my Lord, Sit by my right, till I make thine enemies the footstool of my feet ⁴⁵ If, therefore, David calls him Lord, how is he his son

⁵⁵ In that hour, Jesus said to the crowds, As against a robber came ye out, with swords and sticks, to take me? In the day I sat down with you, teaching, and ye took not hold of me.

²⁷ And they come again to Jerusalem : and he walking in the temple, the chief priests, and scribes, and elders come to him,

⁴⁷ And he was teaching in the day in the temple. And the chief priests and scribes and the first of the people sought to destroy him,

¹ And it was in one of those days, he teaching the people in the temple, and announcing good news, there came forth the chief priests, and the scribes, and the more ancient,

⁴¹ And he said to them, how say they Christ to be son of David? ⁴² And David himself says in the book of Psalms, the Lord said to my Lord, Sit thou from my right hand, ⁴³ Even till I set thine enemies the footstool of thy feet. ⁴⁴ David therefore calls him Lord, and how is be his son?

³⁷ And the days he was teaching in the temple; and the nights, coming out, he lodged in the mount called of Olives.

⁴² Said not the writing, That of the seed of David, and from Bethlehem, the town where David was, Christ comes?

²⁰ Jesus answered him, I spake with freedom of speech to the world: I always taught in the synagogue, and in the temple, where the Jews were always come together; and I spake nothing in secret.

² The spirit of Jehovah spake in me, and his word upon my tongue.

¹ To David a chanting. Jehovah spake to my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand and I will set thine enemies the stool to thy feet

¹⁶ Men, brethren, this writing must be filled up, which the Holy Spirit spake before by mouth of David concerning Judas, being guide to them having taken Jesus.

²⁵ And being at variance with one another, they were let go, Paul having said one word, That well spake the Holy Spirit by Esaias the prophet to our fathers,

²⁵ For he must reign, till he put all enemies under his feet.

¹⁶ All writing divinely inspired, and profitable for doctrine, for refutation, for correction, for instruction in justice:

¹³ And to which of the angels has he once said, Sit on my right hand, till I make thine enemies the footstool of thy feet?

⁷ Wherefore (as the Holy Spirit says, If to day ye hear his voice, ⁸ Harden not your hearts, as in the exasperation, in the day of trial in the desert:

⁷ Again he limits a certain day, saying in David, To day, after such time; as it is said, To day if ye would hear his voice, harden not your hearts.

¹² But this, having brought in one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down on the right hand of God; ¹³ As to the rest, awaiting till his enemies be put a footstool of his feet.

¹¹ Searching for whom or what time the Spirit of Christ which in them manifested, testifying beforehand the sufferings to Christ, and the glories after these.

²¹ For prophecy was not once brought by the will of man: but holy men of God spake, being moved by the Holy Spirit.

⁵ The blind receive sight, and the lame walk, the leprous are cleansed, and the deaf bear, the dead are roused, and the poor have good news announced.

²⁵ In that time Jesus having answered, said, I acknowledge to thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, for thou hast hidden these things from the wise and intelligent, and revealed them to children.

⁴⁶ And seeking to lay hold on him, they feared the crowd, since they held him as a prophet.

⁴⁸ And they found not what they might do: for all the people hearing hanged on him.

³⁸ And all the people arose early in the morning to him in the temple, to hear him.

⁴⁶ And the servants answered, Never spake man as this man. ⁴⁷ Then the Pharisees answered them, Have ye not also been deceived ⁴⁸ Have any of the rulers or of the Pharisees believed in him? ⁴⁹ But the crowd, not knowing the law, are cursed.

⁹ Then a great crowd of Jews knew that he is there: and they came not for Jesus alone, but that also they might see Lazarus, whom he had raised from the dead.

³ Concerning his Son born of the seed of David according to the flesh. ⁴ Determined the Son of God in power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the rising up of the dead of Jesus Christ our Lord:

⁵ Whose the fathers, and from whom Christ according to the flesh, who being God over all, praised forever. Amen.

⁵ Hear, my dearly beloved brethren, Has not God chosen the beggars of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he has promised to them loving him?

¹⁶ I Jesus sent mine angel to testify these things to you, to the churches. I am the root and stock of David, the shining and morning star.

⁵ And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites; for they love in the assemblies, and in the corners of the broad ways to stand praying, so that they might appear to men. Verily I say to you, that they have their reward.

¹⁷ And hold ye from men: for they will deliver you up to councils, and in their assemblies will they scourge you.

¹ Then spake Jesus to the crowds and to his disciples, ² Saying, Upon Moses' seat sat the scribes and Pharisees. ³ Therefore all whatever they say to you to keep, keep and do; and according to their works do not, for they say and do not. ⁴ For they bind loads heavy and difficult to carry, and put upon men's shoulders; and with their fingers will they not move them. ⁵ And all their works do they, to be seen by men: and make broad their preservatives, and enlarge the border of their garments ⁶ And love the first place at suppers, and the first seat in the assemblies, ⁷ And greetings in the markets, and to be called by men, Rabbi, Rabbi.

⁴³ Woe to you, Pharisees! for ye love the first seat in assemblies, and greetings in market-places.

⁷ And he spake a parable to the called, fixing his attention how they chose out the first places at table; saying to them, ⁸ When thou art called to the nuptials, thou shouldest not recline in the first place at table; lest a more honourable than thou be called by him: ⁹ And he having called thee and him, having come, shall say to thee, Give place to this; and then thou shalt begin with shame to take possession of the last place. ¹⁰ But when thou art called, having gone, recline in the last place; that when he having called thee come, might say to thee, Friend, mount up higher; then shall honour be to thee beore them reclining with thee. ¹¹ For whoever exalts himself shall be humbled; and he humbling himself shall be exalted.

⁴⁵ And all the people hearing, he said to his disciples, ⁴⁶ Hold from the scribes, wishing to walk about in robes, and loving greetings in the markets, and precedencies in assemblies, and the first places at tables at suppers; ⁴⁷ Who devour widows' houses, and for a pretence pray at great length; these shall receive more abundant judgment.

⁹ I wrote to the church: but Diotrephes, seeking the superiority over them, receives us not.

² For if there come into your synagogue a man wearing gold rings on is fingers, in brilliant clothing, and there come in also a beggar in filthy clothing; ³ And ye look toward him bearing the brilliant clothing, and ye say to him, Sit thou well here; and to the beggar ye say, Stand thou there, or sit here under my footstool:

²⁵ A conspiracy of her prophets in her midst as a roaring lion rending the prey; they consumed the soul; they will take the wealth and the precious thing; they multiplied her widows in her midst

² And they desired fields, and they took by force; and houses, and they took away: and they oppressed a man and his house, and a man and his inheritance.

¹ And saying, Hear now, ye heads of Jacob, and ye judges of the house of Israel: Is it not for you to know judgment? ² Hating the good and loving the evil; plucking off their skin from off them, and their flesh from off their bones. ³ And who ate the flesh of my people, and they stripp off their skin from off them; and they brake their bones in pieces, and separated as for the pot, and as flesh in the midst of the kettle. ⁴ Then shall they cry to Jehovah and he will not answer them, and he will hide his face from them in that time, as their doings were evil.

⁷ And praying, talk ye not vainly as the nations; for they think that by their profaneness of speech they shall be listened to.

²² But I say to you, To Tyre and Sidon shall it be more supportable in the day of judgment, than to you. ²³ And thou, Capernaum, lifted up even to heaven, thou shalt he brought down to hades: for if in the people of Sodom had been the powers being in thee, they had remained till this day. ²⁴ But I say to you, That to the land of Sodom it shall be more supportable in the day of judgment, than to you.

¹³ Woe to you scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye lock up the kingdom of the heavens before men: for ye come not in yourselves, neither those coming in, permit ye to come in.

³³ Serpents, generations of vipers, how would ye flee from the judgment of hell?

⁴⁷ And that servant having known his lord's will, and not prepared, neither having done his will, shall be skinned with many. ⁴⁸ And he not having known, and having done things worthy of blows, shall be skinned with few. And to every one to whom much was given, shall much be required of him: and with whom they have deposited much, they will ask of him the more.

⁴⁷ Who devour widows' houses, and for a pretence pray at great length; these shall receive more abundant judgment.

⁶ For of these are they going into houses, and taking captive little women heaped up with sins, led away with various eager desires,

⁹ And Jehoida the priest will take one ark and bore a hole in its door, and he will give it by the altar on the right in a man's coming to the house of Jehovah: and the priests watching the threshold will give there all the silver being brought to the house of Jehovah.

⁶ And the chief priests, having taken the silver coins, said, It is not lawful to cast them for an offering, since it is the price of blood.

¹ And having looked np, he saw the rich casting their gifts into the royal treasury. ² And he also saw a certain poor widow casting there two small coins. ³ And he said, Truly I say to you, that this poor widow has cast in more than all: ⁴ For all they, of that abounding to them, have cast in to the gifts of God: and she from her want cast in all the living which she had.
