¹⁷ And the chief priest having risen, and all they with him, (the sect being of the Sadducees,) they were filled with zeal, ¹⁸ And put their hands upon the sent, and set them in the public keeping. ¹⁹ And a messenger of the Lord by night opened the doors of the prison, and having brought them forth, said, ²⁰ Go ye, and having stood, speak in the temple all the words of this life. ²¹ And having heard, they came in by morning to the temple, and taught. But the chief priest having approached, and they with him, called the council together, and all the assembly of the sons of Israel, and sent to the prison for them to be brought. ²² And the attendants having come near, found them not in the prison, and having returned, they announced, ²³ Saying, That we truly found the prison shut with all security, and the watch standing without before the doors: and having opened, we found none within. ²⁴ And when the priest and captain of the temple and chief priests heard these words, they were in doubt of them, what this might be. ²⁵ And a certain one having come near, announced to them, saying, That, behold, the men which ye put in prison are standing in the temple, and teaching the people. ²⁶ Then the commander having gone with attendants, brought them, not with force: for they feared the people, lest they might be stoned. ²⁷ And having brought them, they set in the council: and the chief priest asked them, 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. ²⁹ And Peter having answered, and the sent, said, We must obey God rather than men. ³⁰ The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom ye slew with your own hands, having hung him upon a tree. ³¹ This, God exalted, a Chief and Saviour, with his right hand to give repentance to Israel, and remission of sins. ³² And we are his witnesses of these words; and the Holy Spirit, whom God gave to them obeying him. ³³ And having heard, they gnashed the teeth with rage, and consulted to kill them. ³⁴ And a certain Pharisee having risen up in the council, by name Gamaliel, a teacher of the law, honoured by all the people, urged to put the sent without a little while. ³⁵ And he said to them, Men, Israelites, attend to yourselves on account of these men, what ye are about to do. ³⁶ For before these days Theudas arose, saying himself to be somebody: which a number of men followed, about four hundred, who was slain; and all, as many as believed him, were destroyed, and were for nothing. ³⁷ After this Judas the Galilean arose in the days of enrolling, and misled enough people after him: and he perished; and all, as many as believed him, were scattered. ³⁸ And now say I to you, Depart from these men, and leave them; for if this counsel or this work be of men, it shall be destroyed: ³⁹ And if it is of God, ye cannot destroy it; lest ye also be found contenders against God. ⁴⁰ And by him they were persuaded: and having called the sent, having stripped, they enjoined not to speak in the name of Jesus, and loosed them.

¹¹ Then they put under men, saying, That we have heard him speaking defaming words against Moses, and God. ¹² And they roused together the people, and elders, and scribes, and having stood against, they seized him, and brought to the council, ¹³ And set false witnesses, saying, This man ceases not speaking defaming words against this holy place, and the law: ¹⁴ For we have heard him saying; That Jesus the Nazarite shall abolish this place, and shall change the customs which Moses delivered to us. ¹⁵ And all they sitting in the council, having looked intently upon him, saw his face as the face of a messenger.

⁵⁴ And having heard those, they were sawn through their hearts, and they gnashed the teeth upon him.

¹ And Saul, yet breathing out threatening and murder against the disciples of the Lord, having come to the chief priest, ² He asked of him letters to Damascus, to the synagogues, so that if he find certain men being of the way, and also women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem.

¹³ And Ananias answered, Lord, I have heard from many of this man, how many evils he did to thy holy ones in Jerusalem: ¹⁴ And here has he authority from the chief priests to bind all those calling on thy name.

¹⁶ For I will show him what he must suffer for my name.

¹ And at that time Herod the king laid hands upon to injure certain of the church. ² And he killed James the brother of John with the sword. ³ And having seen that it is pleasing to the Jews, he added also to take Peter. (They were the days of unleavened bread.)

²⁰ And having brought them to the generals, they said, These the men who cause disturbance to our city, being Jews, ²¹ And they announce customs, which it is not lawful for us to receive, nor do, being Romans. ²² And the crowd set together against them: and the generals having rent their garments, commanded to scourge with rods. ²³ And many blows having been put upon them, they cast into prison, having commanded the jailor to keep them safely: ²⁴ Who, having received such an order, cast them into the inner prison, and placed their feet firmly in wood.

¹¹ And having come to us, and lifted up Paul's girdle, and bound his hands and feet, he said, Thus says the Holy Spirit, The man whose is this girdle, shall the Jews so bind in Jerusalem, and they shall deliver him into the hands of the nations.

³¹ And seeking to kill him, a rumor went up to the captain of a thousand of the band, that the whole of Jerusalem had been embroiled. ³² Who having taken out of it the soldiers and centurions, he ran down to them: and they having seen the captain of a thousand and the soldiers, ceased striking Paul. ³³ Then the captain of a thousand, having drawn near, took him, and commanded to be bound with two chains; and inquired who he might be, and what he had done. ³⁴ And other cried what other in the crowd: and not being able to know certainly for the uproar, he commanded him to be brought into the camp. ³⁵ And when he was upon the steps, it happened, he was borne by the soldiers for the violence of the crowd. ³⁶ For the multitude of the people followed, crying, Take him away. ³⁷ And being about to be brought into the camp, Paul says to the captain of a thousand, Is it lawful for me to speak anything to thee? and he said, Hast thou knowledge in Greek? ³⁸ Art not thou then the Egyptian, who before these days having risen up, and having brought into the desert four thousand men of murderers? ³⁹ And Paul said, I am truly a man a Jew, a Tarsean of Cilicia, a citizen of no undistinguished city: and I beseech of thee to give way for me to speak to the people. ⁴⁰ And having given way, Paul standing upon the steps, shook with the hand to the people. And being much silence, he spake in the Hebrew dialect, saying,

¹⁹ And I said, Lord, these know that I was imprisoning and skinning in the synagogues them believing on thee: ²⁰ And when the blood of Stephen thy witness was shed, I myself was standing by, and assenting to his murder, and watching the garments of them murdering him.

¹ And Paul, having looked intently to the council, said, Men, brethren, I have lived as a citizen in all good conscience to God till this day. ² And the chief priest Ananias commanded those standing by him to strike his month.

¹ And after five days the chief priest Ananias came down with the elders, and a certain orator, Tertullus, who exhibited to the leader against Paul. ² And he having been called, Tertullus began to accuse, saying, ³ Attaining much peace by thee, and good actions being to this nation by thy foresight altogether and everywhere, we accept, most excellent Felix, with all thankfulness. ⁴ And that I hinder thee no more, I beseech thee to hear us concisely by thy clemency. ⁵ For having found this man a scourge, and moving sedition to all Jews in the habitable globe, and standing in the first rank of the sect of Nazarites: ⁶ And who attempted to profane the temple: whom we also seized, and wished to judge according to our law. ⁷ And Lysias the captain of a thousand, having come with much force, carried away out of our hands, ⁸ Having commanded his accusers to come to thee: by which thou thyself shalt be able, having examined, to know of all these of which we accuse him. ⁹ And the Jews also agreed, saying, these things hold so.

¹ Festus therefore having come to the province, after three days went up to Jerusalem from Cesarea. ² And the chief priest and first of the Jews exhibited to him against Paul, and besought him, ³ Asking favor against him, that he might send for him to Jerusalem, making an ambuscade to kill him in the way. ⁴ Then truly answered Festus, Paul to be kept in Cesarea, and himself quickly about to go forth. ⁵ Therefore the able among you, he says, having gone down together, if there be anything in this man, let them accuse him. ⁶ And having tarried with them more than ten days, having gone down to Cesarea, on the morrow, having sat upon the judgment seat, he commanded Paul to be brought. ⁷ And he having come, the Jews having come down from Jerusalem stood round about, bringing many and heavy charges against Paul, which they could not prove. ⁸ He justifying himself, That neither against the law of the Jews, nor against the temple, nor against Caesar have I sinned any thing. ⁹ And Festus, wishing to render a favor to the Jews, having answered Paul, said, Wilt thou, having gone up to Jerusalem, there be judged by me of these things? ¹⁰ And Paul said, At Caesar's judgment seat am I standing where I must he judged: I injured the Jews nothing, as thou also knowest better. ¹¹ For if truly I act with injustice, and have done anything worthy of death, I refuse not to die: but if there be nothing of which these accuse me, no one can yield me up to them. I appeal to Caesar. ¹² Then Festus, having conversed with the council, answered, Thou hast appealed to Caesar, to Caesar shalt thou go. ¹³ And certain days having intervined, Agrippa the king and Bernice arrived at Cesarea, having saluted Festus. ¹⁴ And as they tarried there many days, Festus set up to the king the things of Paul, saying, There is a certain man left in bonds by Felix: ¹⁵ About whom, I being at Jerusalem, the chief priests and the elders of the Jews exhibited, asking judgment against him. ¹⁶ To whom I answered, That it is not the custom to Romans to yield up any man to destruction, before that the accused may have the accusers before the face, and take place for defence for the accusation. ¹⁷ Therefore, they having come here together, having made no delay, in order having sat upon the judgment seat, I commanded the man to be brought. ¹⁸ About whom the accusers, having stood up, brought no charge of what I supposed: ¹⁹ But had certain questions of their own superstition against him, and of a certain Jesus, having died, whom Paul declared living. ²⁰ And I doubting at the question concerting this, said, If he be willing to go to Jerusalem, and there be judged of these things. ²¹ And Paul having appealed for him to be kept for the determination of Augustus, I commanded him to be kept till I send him to Caesar. ²² And Agrippa said to Festus, I wished myself also to hear the man. And he said, Tomorrow thou shalt hear him. ²³ Therefore the morrow, Agrippa having come, and Bernice, with much display, and having come into the hall, also with captains of thousands, and men of the city being in eminence, and Festus having commanded, Paul was brought. ²⁴ And Festus said, King Agrippa, and all men being present with us, ye behold this, of whom all the multitude of Jews addressed me, both in Jerusalem and here, crying out he must no more live. ²⁵ And I discovering nothing he has done worthy of death, and he also himself having appealed to Augustus, I judged to send him. ²⁶ Of whom I have not anything certain to write to the lord. Wherefore I brought him to you, and especially to thee, king Agrippa, so that, examination having been, I should have some thing to write.

⁹ For I think that God has exhibited us the last sent, as exposed to death; for we were a theatre to the world, and to messengers, and to men. ¹⁰ We foolish for Christ, and ye wise in Christ; we weak, and ye strong; ye honourable, and we dishonoured ¹¹ Until this present hour we also hunger, and thirst, and we are naked, and are cuffed, and are unsteady. ¹² And we are wearied, working with our own hands: being reviled, we praise; being driven out, we hold up ¹³ Being defamed, we entreat: as the filth of the world were we become, the offscouring of all until now.

²³ Are they Christ's servants? (I speak being light-headed) I above; in toils more abundant, in blows more excessively, in watchings more abundantly, in deaths often. ²⁴ Of the Jews five times I received forty, except one. ²⁵ Thrice was I scourged with rods, once was I stoned, thrice suffered I shipwreck, I have made a night and day in the deep; ²⁶ In journeys often, in dangers of rivers, in dangers of robbers, in dangers of the family, in dangers from the nations, in dangers in the city, in dangers in solitude, in dangers in the sea, in dangers with false brethren; ²⁷ In fatigue and toil, in watchfulnesses often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness.

²⁹ For upon you was it conferred as a favor for Christ, not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for him;

⁵ (A proof of the just judgment of God,) for you to be deemed worthy of the kingdom of God, for which ye also suffer:

⁹ I John, and your brother, and partaker in pressure, and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, I was in the island called Patmos, for the sake of the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus Christ.

¹⁰ Neither be afraid of what things thou art about to suffer: behold, the accuser is about to cast of you into prison, that ye might be tried; and ye shall have pressure ten days: be thou faithful until death, and I will give thee the crown of life.

¹³ I know thy works, and where thou dwellest, where the throne of Satan: and thou holdest my name, and hast not denied my faith, and in the days in which Antipas my faithful witness, who was slain with you, where Satan dwells.

⁹ And when he opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of the slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they had: ¹⁰ And they cried with a great voice, saying, Till when, Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood of them dwelling upon earth ¹¹ And to each were given white robes; and it was said to them, that they should rest for a little time, till also their fellowservants be filled up, about to be killed, as also they.

¹⁴ And this good news of the kingdom shall be proclaimed in the whole habitable globe for a witness to all nations: and then shall the end come.

¹⁸ And Jesus, having come near, spake to them, saying, All power has been given me in heaven and upon earth: ¹⁹ Therefore, having gone, disciple all nations; immersing them into the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit:

¹⁵ And he said to them, Having gone into all the world proclaim the good news to all creation.

⁸ First, I return thanks to my God by Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is announced in the whole world.

¹⁸ But I say, Have they not heard? Surely, in all the earth went out their sound, and their words to the end of the habitable globe.

¹⁹ By power of signs and wonders, by power of the Spirit of God, so that I from Jerusalem, and round about even to Illyricum, have completed the good news of Christ.

⁶ Being present to you as also in all the world; and is bearing fruit, as also in you, from the day which ye heard and knew the grace of God in truth:

²³ If indeed ye remain in the faith, founded and firmly fixed, and not moved aside from the hope of the good news, which ye heard, being proclaimed in all creation under heaven; of which I Paul was a servant;

⁶ And I saw another angel flying in the midst of heaven, having the lasting good news to announce to them dwelling upon the earth, and to every nation, and tribe, and tongue, and people,

¹⁰ And Moses will say to Jehovah, With leave my Lord, not a man of words, also from yesterday, also from the third day, also from the time of thy speaking to thy servant; for I being heavy of mouth, and heavy of tongue. ¹¹ And Jehovah will say to him, Who set a mouth to man? or who set the dumb, or deaf, or the seeing, or blind? is it not I Jehovah? ¹² And now go, and I will be with thy mouth, and teach thee what thou shalt say.

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

⁴ The Lord Jehovah gave to me the tongue of the expert to know to help the weary with a word: he will rouse up in the morning by morning, he will rouse up to me the ear to hear as the expert

⁶ And saying, Ah, Lord Jehovah, behold I knew not to speak: for I a boy. ⁷ And Jehovah will say to me, Thou shalt not say, I a boy; for thou shalt go to all to whom I shall send thee, and all which I shall command thee thou shalt speak ⁸ Thou shalt not be afraid of their faces, for I am with thee to deliver thee, says Jehovah. ⁹ And Jehovah will stretch forth his hand and touch upon my mouth: and Jehovah will say to me, Behold, I gave my words into thy mouth.

¹⁶ Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-Nego answered, and saying to the king, O Nebuchadnezzar, we need not to turn back to thee upon this word. ¹⁷ If it is, our God whom we served will be able to deliver us from the furnace of flaming fire, and from thy hand, O king, he will deliver us. ¹⁸ And if not, it shall be made known to thee, O king, that to thy gods we serve not, and to the image of gold that thou didst set up we will not prostrate ourselves:

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

¹⁹ And when they deliver you up, have no care how or what ye should speak: for it shall be given you in that hour what ye shall speak. ²⁰ For ye yourselves are not speaking, but the spirit of your father speaking in you. ²¹ And brother shall deliver up brother to death, and father child: and children shall rise up in revolt against parents, and kill them.

⁹ And see ye to yourselves: for they shall deliver you up to councils; and in the synagogues shall ye be stripped: and shall be set before rulers and kings for my sake, for testimony to them.

¹¹ And when they bring you to assemblies, and beginnings, and powers, have no anxiety how or what ye allege for justification, or what ye say: ¹² For the Holy Spirit will teach you in that hour what ye must say.

¹⁴ Set therefore in your hearts, not to practise beforehand to justify yourselves: ¹⁵ For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all they opposed to you shall not be able to contradict nor withstand.

²⁷ John answered and said, No man can receive anything except it be given him from heaven.

⁴ And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and began to speak in other tongues, as the Spirit gave them to utter.

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.

⁸ Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, Rulers of the people, and elders of Israel, ⁹ If we are this day examined of the kindness of the sick man, by whom he has been saved; ¹⁰ Be it known to all you, and to all the people of Israel, that in the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarite, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, in this he stands before you whole. 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. ¹³ And seeing the freedom of speech of Peter and John, and comprehending that they are illiterate men, and private individuals, they wondered; and they knew them, that they were with Jesus. ¹⁴ And seeing the man healed standing with them, they had nothing to contradict. ¹⁵ And having urged them to depart out of the council, they deliberated with one another, ¹⁶ Saying, What shall we do to these men? for that truly a known sign has been by them, manifest to all them dwelling in Jerusalem: and we cannot deny. ¹⁷ But that it be not more and more exposed to the wind among the people, let us threaten them with a threat, to speak no more in this name to any man. ¹⁸ And having called them, they enjoined them universally not to utter neither to teach in the name of Jesus. 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. ²¹ And they having made additional threats, loosed them, finding nothing how they might chastise them, for sake of the people: for all honoured God for that having been done. ²² For the man was more than forty years, upon whom this sign of healing was done.

³¹ And they having prayed, the place was shaken in which they were gathered together; and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and spake the word of God with freedom of speech.

¹⁰ And they were not able to withstand the wisdom and the spirit by which he spake.

¹⁵ And all they sitting in the council, having looked intently upon him, saw his face as the face of a messenger.

⁵⁵ And being full of the Holy Spirit, having looked intently to heaven, he saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God,

¹³ Which also we speak, not in words taught of man's wisdom, but in them taught of the Holy Spirit; examining spiritual things by spiritual.

⁵ Which in other generations was not made known to the sons of men, as now has been revealed to his holy sent and to the prophets by the Spirit:

¹⁹ And for me, that the word might be given me, in the opening of my mouth in freedom of speech, to make known the mystery of the good news, ²⁰ For which I am an ambassador in perplexity: that in it I might speak freely, as I ought to speak.

⁵ If any of you is forsaken of wisdom, let him ask of God, giving to all plainly, blaming not; and it shall be given him.

¹² To whom it was revealed, that not to themselves, but to us they were serving these things, which now have been again proclaimed to you by them having announced the good news in the Holy Spirit sent from heaven; into which angels eagerly desire to stoop and creep.

²¹ And I called to all my mountains a sword against him, says the Lord Jehovah: and the sword of each shall be against his brother.

⁴ Their good as the thorn, the upright more than the thorn-hedge: the day of thy watchings and thy reviewings came; now shall be their perplexity. ⁵ Ye shall not trust in a companion, ye shall not confide in a friend: watch the doors of thy mouth from her lying in thy bosom. ⁶ For the son despising the father, the daughter rising up against her mother, the bride against her mother-in-law; a man's enemies the men of his house.

²¹ And brother shall deliver up brother to death, and father child: and children shall rise up in revolt against parents, and kill them.

¹⁰ And then shall many be offended, and they shall deliver up one another, and they shall hate one another.

⁵² For from now shall five be in one house divided, three against two, and two against three. ⁵³ Father shall be divided against son, and son against father; mother against daughter, and daughter against mother; mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law, and daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.

¹⁶ And ye shall also be delivered up by parents, and brethren, and kinsmen, and friends; and they shall put of you to death.

¹² Happy he waiting, and he shall reach to the thousand three hundred and thirty and five days.

¹¹ Happy are ye, when they shall upbraid you, and drive you out, and say every evil word against you, lying, for my sake. ¹² Rejoice and be transported with joy; for much your reward in the heavens for so they drove out the prophets which before you.

²² And ye shall be hated by all for my name: and he having remained to the end shall be saved.

⁹ Then shall they deliver you to pressure, and they shall kill you: and ye shall be hated by all nations, for my name.

¹³ But he having persevered to the end, this shall be saved.

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.

¹⁷ And ye shall be hated by all for my name's sake.

¹⁸ If the world hate you, know that it has hated me the first of you. ¹⁹ If ye were of the world, the world had loved its own: and because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.

²¹ But all these will they do to you for my name, for they know not him having sent me.

¹⁴ I have given them thy word; and the world hated them, for they are not of the world, as I am not of the world.

⁷ To them truly by perseverance of the good work they seek glory and honour and immortality, eternal life:

⁹ And doing good let us not despond: for in proper time we shall reap, not being enervated.

¹⁴ For we have been partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our foundation firm to the end;

³⁹ And we are not of drawing down to perdition; but of faith to the acquisition of the soul.

¹² Happy the man who endures temptation: for being tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord promised to them loving him.

¹³ Be not amazed, my brethren, if the world hate you.

¹⁰ For thou didst keep the word of my patience, and I will keep thee from the hour of temptation, about to come upon the whole habitable globe, to try them dwelling upon the earth.

¹⁰ The adversary spread out his hand upon all her delights, for she saw the nations came in to her holy place, which thou didst command they shall not come in to the convocation to thee.

⁹ Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Every son of the stranger, uncircumcised of heart and uncircumcised of flesh, shall not come in to my holy place, to every son of the stranger which is the midst of the sons of Israel.

¹³ And I shall hear one holy one speaking, and one holy one will say to a certain one, speaking, How long the vision of the continuance, and the transgression laying waste, to be? and the holy place and the army being trodden down?

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.

³¹ And seed from him shall stand up, and they profaned the holy place of strength, and they removed the Continuance, and they gave the abomination laying waste.

¹¹ And from the time of removing the continuance, and to give the abomination laying waste, a thousand two hundred and ninety days.

⁵¹ Jesus says to them, Have ye understood all these? They say to him, Yes, Lord.

¹⁵ Therefore, when ye see the abomination of devastation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place, (let him reading, understand:) ¹⁶ Then let them in Judea flee to the mountain; ¹⁷ He upon the house-tops, let him not come down to take away anything out of his house: ¹⁸ And he in the field, let him not turn back to take up his garments: ¹⁹ And woe to those having in the womb, and to those giving suck, in those days! ²⁰ And pray that your flight be not in winter, nor in the sabbath. ²¹ For then shall be great pressure, such as has not been from the beginning of the world till now, nor should be. ²² And except those days had been shortened, no flesh should be saved: but for the chosen, those days shall be shortened. ²³ Then if any say to you, Behold, here Christ, or there; believe ye not. ²⁴ For false Christs, and false prophets, shall be raised up, and give great signs and wonders; so as to deceive, if possible, also the chosen. ²⁵ Behold, I have told you beforehand. ²⁶ If therefore they should say to you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth; Behold, in the store-houses, believe ye not. ²⁷ For as the lightning comes forth from the sunrisings, and shines to the descents; so also shall be the arrival of the Son of man. ²⁸ For wherever be the fall, there will the eagles be gathered together.

²⁰ And when ye see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then know that its devastation has drawn near. ²¹ Then let those in Judea flee to the mountain; and those in the midst of her withdraw; and let those in the countries not go into her. ²² For these are the days of vengeance, that all things having been written, should be completed. ²³ And woe to them having in the womb, and to them giving suck, in those days! for there shall be great necessity upon the land, and anger upon this people. ²⁴ And they shall fall by the mouth of the sword, and they shall be made captives in all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down by all the nations, till the times of the nations should be completed.

³⁰ And Philip running near, heard him reading the prophet Esaias, and he said, Truly knowest thou what thou readest? ³¹ And he said, How can I, except somebody guide me? And he called upon Philip coming up to sit with him.

⁷ As inanimate things giving a voice, whether pipe or harp, if it give not a distinction to sounds, how shall the piping or harping be known? ⁸ For also if the trumpet give an uncertain voice, who shall prepare himself for war?

²⁰ Brethren, be not children in reflection: but in wickedness act like children, and in reflection be ye perfected.

³ Happy he reading, and they hearing the words of the prophecy, and keeping the things written in it, for the time is near.

¹⁸ Here is wisdom. Let him having intelligence calculate the number of the wild beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number Six hundred and sixty-six.

¹⁵ And when the dawn arose, the messengers will hasten upon Lot, saying, Rise up, take thy wife, and thy two daughters, being found, lest thou shalt be destroyed in the iniquity of the city. ¹⁶ And he shall linger, and the men will hold fast upon his hand, and upon the hand of his wife, and upon the hand of his two daughters; in Jehovah's having compassion upon him; and they shall bring him forth, and lead him without the city. ¹⁷ And it shall be when having brought them forth without, he will say, Escape for thy life; thou shalt not look behind thee, and thou shalt not stay in all the circuit: escape to the mountain, lest thou shalt be destoyed.

²² Hasten, to escape there, for I shall not be able to do the word till thy coming there: for this the name of the city was called Zoar.

²⁶ And his wife will look hack from behind him, and will become a pillar of salt

⁴ And the adversary will answer Jehovah and say, Skin for skin, and all which is to a man he will give for his soul.

⁴ Thou shalt not give sleep to thine eyes, and slumber to thine eyelashes. ⁵ Deliver thyself as the roe from the hand, and as the bird from the hand of the fowler.

³ The crafty saw evil, and he will hide, and the simple passed on and were punished.

¹⁶ Then let them in Judea flee to the mountain; ¹⁷ He upon the house-tops, let him not come down to take away anything out of his house: ¹⁸ And he in the field, let him not turn back to take up his garments:

³¹ In that day, whoever shall be upon the house, and his goods in the house, let him not go down to take them away: and he in the fields, likewise let him not turn back behind. ³² Remember Lot's wife. ³³ Whoever should seek to save his life shall lose it; and whoever shall lose it, shall preserve it alive.

¹⁸ And we being exceedingly tempest tossed, the following day they made a casting of the cargo overboard; ¹⁹ And the third, working with our bands, we cast out the rigging of the ship.

³⁸ And satisfied with food, they lightened the ship, casting out the wheat into the sea.

⁷ But what things were gain to me, these I have thought loss for Christ. ⁸ But surely, I also think all things to be loss for the superiority of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have been made to lose all things, and I think to be offscourings, that I shall gain Christ,

⁷ By faith Noah, having an intimation of the divine will of things not yet seen, being circumspect, prepared an ark for the salvation of his house; by which he condemned the world, and by faith became an heir of justice.

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.

¹⁹ Arise, cry aloud in the night: at the head of the watches pour out thy heart as water before the face of Jehovah: lift up thy hands to him for the soul of thy young children fainting with hunger in the head of all the streets. ²⁰ See, O Jehovah, and look to whom thou didst accomplish this Shall the women eat their fruit, the children borne upon the hands? shall the priest and the prophet be slain in the holy place of Jehovah?

³ Also the dragons draw out the breast, they suckled their sucklings: the daughter of my people violent as the ostriches in the desert. ⁴ The tongue of the suckling adhered to his palate in thirst: the young children asked for bread, none breaking bread to them.

¹⁰ The hands of compassionate women boiled their children: they were for food to them in the breaking of the daughter of my people.

¹⁴ Give to them, O Jehovah: what wilt thou give? give to them a miscarrying womb, and dry breasts.

¹⁶ Shomeron shall be guilty, for she rebelled against her God: by the sword shall they fall: their infants shall be dashed in pieces, and they having conceived shall be cleft asunder.

¹⁹ And woe to those having in the womb, and to those giving suck, in those days! ²⁰ And pray that your flight be not in winter, nor in the sabbath. ²¹ For then shall be great pressure, such as has not been from the beginning of the world till now, nor should be.

²³ And woe to them having in the womb, and to them giving suck, in those days! for there shall be great necessity upon the land, and anger upon this people.

²⁹ For, behold, the days are coming in which they shall say, Happy the barren, and the wombs which never brought forth, and the breasts which gave not suck.

³² For ask now to the former days which were before thee from the day that God created man upon the earth, and from the end of the heavens to the end of the heavens, Has there been as this great word, or was heard like it?

⁵⁹ And Jehovah made thy smiting wonderful, and the smitings of thy seed, great and lasting blows, and evil and lasting diseases.

²² And said, Another generation of your sons who shall rise up from after you, and the foreigner who shall come from a land afar off, and they saw the blows of that land, and the sicknesses which Jehovah made sick in it; ²³ Pitch and burning salt, all its land; it shall not be sown, and it shall not sprout, and no green herb shall come up upon it, as the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboim, which Jehovah overthrew in his anger and in his wrath: ²⁴ And all the nations said, For what did Jehovah thus to this land? what the heat of this great anger? ²⁵ And they said, Because they left the covenant of Jehovah the God of their fathers, which he made with them; in his bringing them forth from the land of Egypt ²⁶ And they will go and serve other gods, and will worship to them gods which they knew them not, and a portion not to them. ²⁷ And the anger of Jehovah will kindle against this land, to bring upon it all the curses written in this book. ²⁸ And Jehovah will tear them up from their land in anger, and in wrath, and in great anger, and will send them to another land as this day.

¹² And I numbered you to the sword, and ye all shall bend to the slaughter, because I called, and ye answered not: I spake and ye heard not; and ye will do evil in mine eyes, and in what I delighted not, ye chose. ¹³ For this, thus said the Lord Jehovah, Behold, my servants shall eat and ye shall be hungry: behold, my servants shall drink and ye shall thirst: behold, my servants shall rejoice, and ye shall be ashamed. ¹⁴ Behold, my servants shall shout from good of heart, but ye shall cry from pain of heart, and wail from breaking of spirit 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.

¹² Nothing to you, all ye passing by the way? Behold, and see if there is pain as my pain, which was done to me with which Jehovah afflicted in the day of the burning of his anger.

¹³ What shall I testify for thee? What shall I liken to thee, O daughter of Jerusalem? What shall I compare to thee, and comfort thee, O virgin daughter of Zion? for great as the sea thy breaking: who shall heal for thee?

⁶ For the iniquity of the daughter of my people will be great above the sin of Sodom being overthrown as in a moment, and no hands waited for her.

¹² And he will set up his words which he spake against us, and against our judges who judged us to bring against us a great evil: which was not done under all the heavens according to what was done in Jerusalem.

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.

¹ And in that time Michael the great chief shall stand up, he standing for the sons of thy people: and it was a time of straits that was not from there being a nation, even to that time: and in that time thy people shall escape, every one being found written in the book.

² A day of darkness and of thick darkness; a day of cloud and gloom as the morning spread upon the mountains: great and strong people; the like to him was not from forever, and after him there shall not be added even to the years of generation and generation.

²¹ For then shall be great pressure, such as has not been from the beginning of the world till now, nor should be.

⁶ And from the beginning of creation God made them male and female.

⁹ Unless Jehovah of armies left to us an escaping so small, we were as Sodom and we were made like to Gomorrah.

¹³ And yet in it a tenth, and it turned back, and it was for consuming, as the terebinth and as the oak which in casting the trunk in them the holy seed its pillar.

⁸ Thus said Jehovah, As the new wine will be found in the cluster, and he will say, Thou shalt not destroy it, for a blessing in it: thus will I do for sake of my servant, to not destroy them all. ⁹ And I brought forth a seed out of Jacob, and out of Judah he shall inherit my mountain: and my chosen shall inherit it, and my servants shall dwell their.

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.

²² And except those days had been shortened, no flesh should be saved: but for the chosen, those days shall be shortened.

⁵ So then also in the time now has been a remnant according to the election of grace. ⁶ And if to grace, it is no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. And if of works, it is no more grace: otherwise work is no more work. ⁷ What then What Israel seeks for, this be attained not; but the selection attained, and the rest were hardened.

²³ And they also, if they continue not in unbelief, shall be grafted in:for God is able to graft them in again. ²⁴ For if thou according to nature wert cut out of the wild olive tree, and against nature wert grafted into the cultivated olive tree: how much more these, according to nature, shall be grafted into their own olive tree

²⁸ Truly concerning the good news, enemies for you: and concerning the selection, beloved for the fathers. ²⁹ For the favors and calling of God not causing repentance. ³⁰ For as also ye, when ye were disobedient to God, but now ye have been commiserated by the unbelief of these: ³¹ So they now also were disobedient, by your mercy that they also be commiserated. ³² For God shut them all up together in unbelief, that he might commiserate all.

¹ When there shall arise in the midst of you a prophet, or a dreamer of dreams, and he gave to thee a sign or a wonder, ² And the sign or the wonder come which he spake to thee, saying, We will go after other gods which we know not, and we will serve them, ³ Thou shalt not hear to the words of that prophet or to that dreamer of dreams: for Jehovah thy God tries you to know whether ye are loving Jehovah your God with all your heart and with all your soul.

²³ Then if any say to you, Behold, here Christ, or there; believe ye not. ²⁴ For false Christs, and false prophets, shall be raised up, and give great signs and wonders; so as to deceive, if possible, also the chosen. ²⁵ Behold, I have told you beforehand.

²³ And they shall say to you, Behold here, or; behold there: go not away, nor pursue. ²⁴ For as lightning, flashing out from that under heaven, shines to that under heaven; so also shall be the Son of man in his day.

¹⁵ And hold from false prophets which come in to you in sheep's dresses, but within they are rapacious wolves.

²⁴ For false Christs, and false prophets, shall be raised up, and give great signs and wonders; so as to deceive, if possible, also the chosen.

⁶ For many shall come in my name, saying, That I am; and they shall lead many astray.

⁴⁸ Then said Jesus to him, Except ye see signs and wonders, ye would not believe.

²⁷ My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. ²⁸ And I give them eternal life; and they shall never perish, and no one shall snatch them out of my hand.

⁸ And then shall the Lawless one be revealed, whom the Lord will destroy with the spirit of his mouth, and leave unemployed in the splendor of his arrival: ⁹ Whose arrival is according to the energy of Satan in all power and signs and wonders of falsehood, ¹⁰ And in all deceit of iniquity in the lost; because they received not the love of the truth, for them to be saved. ¹¹ And for this, God shall send them the energy of error, for them to believe in falsehood: ¹² That all might be judged not believing the truth but contented in iniquity. ¹³ And we ought to return thanks to God always for you, brethren dearly beloved by the Lord, that God chose you from the beginning to salvation in consecration of the Spirit and belief of the truth: ¹⁴ To which he called you by our good news, to the acquisition of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

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.

¹⁹ They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they had remained with us, but, that they might be manifested, that they are not all of us.

²⁶ These I wrote to you concerning them deceiving you.

⁸ And all they dwelling upon earth shall worship him, whose names have not been written in the book of life of the slain Lamb from the foundation of the world.

¹³ And he does great signs, that also he might make fire come down from heaven to the earth before men, ¹⁴ And he deceives them dwelling upon earth by the signs which were given him to do before the wild beast; saying to them dwelling upon earth, to make an image to the wild beast, who has the blow of the sword, and he lived.

⁸ The wild beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and is about to come up from the abyss, and go forward to perdition: and they dwelling upon the earth shall wonder, whose names have not been written upon the book of life from the foundation of the world, seeing the wild beast that was, and is not, although he is.

⁷ And who as I shall call and announce it, and set it in order for me from my placing the people of old? and the things coming and that shall come, they shall announce to them. 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

³³ See, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is.

³⁴ And attend to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be loaded with dizziness, caused by excess, and drunkenness, and cares of life, and that day come upon you unexpectedly.

²⁹ And now have I told you before it shall be, that when it should be, ye might believe.

¹ These have I spoken, that ye should not be offended. ² They shall make you excluded from the synagogue: but the hour comes that every one having slain you should think to bring service to God. ³ And these things shall they do to you, for they know not the Father, nor me. ⁴ But these have I spoken to you, that when the hour should come, ye should remember them, for I said to you. And these I said not to you from the beginning, for I was with you.

¹⁷ You therefore, dearly beloved, knowing beforehand, watch, lest, led away by the error of the lawless, ye fall from your own stability.

¹⁰ For the stars of the heavens and the giants of the sky shall not shine their light: the sun was darkened in his going forth, and the moon shall not cause her light to shine.

²⁰ The earth moving to and fro, shall move to and fro as the intoxicated, and it was removed as a lodge; and its transgression was heavy upon it and it fell, and it shall not add to rise. ²¹ And it was in that day Jehovah shall review upon the army of the height upon the height, and upon the kings of the earth upon the earth. ²² And they gathered a collection of the bound into the dungeon. and they were shut up into a shutting up, and after many days they shall be reviewed. ²³ And the moon blushed, and the sun was ashamed, for Jehovah of armies reigned in mount Zion, and in Jerusalem, and was honored before his old men.

²³ I saw the earth, and behold, emptiness and a void; and to the heavens, and no lights. ²⁴ I saw the mountains, and behold them trembling, and all the hills were shaken. ²⁵ I saw, and behold, no man, and all the birds of the heavens fled away.

²⁸ For this, shall the earth mourn, and the heavens became dark from above: because I spake, I purposed, I lamented not, and I will not turn back from it

⁷ And I covered the heavens in my quenching thee, and I darkened their stars; and I will cover the sun with a cloud, and the moon shall not enlighten with its light

¹⁰ A river of fire flowed and went out from before him: thousands of thousands will wait upon him, and myriads of myriads will stand before him: the tribunal sat, and the books were opened.

¹⁰ The earth was moved before his face; the heavens trembled: the sun and the moon were darkened, and the stars took away their shining:

³⁰ And I gave wonders in the heavens, and in the earth, blood and fire and pillars of smoke. ³¹ The sun shall be turned to darkness and the moon to blood, before the coming of the great and the terrible day of Jehovah.

¹⁵ The sun and the moon were darkened, and the stars took away their shining.

²⁰ Shall not the day of Jehovah be darkness and not light? and dark and no shining to it?

¹⁴ The great day of Jehovah is near, it is near and hastening greatly, the voice of the day of Jehovah: the strong one cried there bitterly. ¹⁵ A day of wrath, that day a day of straits and distress, a day of storm and desolation, a day of darkness and thick darkness, a day of cloud and gloom, ¹⁶ A day of the trumpet and loud noise against the fortified cities, and against the high pinnacles. ¹⁷ And I pressed upon man, and they went as the blind, because they sinned against Jehovah: and their blood was poured out as dust and their bread as dung. ¹⁸ Also their silver also their gold shall not be able to deliver them in the day of the wrath of Jehovah; and all the land shall be consumed by the fire of his jealousy: for he will make a completion even sudden of all dwelling in the land.

²⁹ And quickly after the pressure of those days, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from the heavens, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken; ³⁰ And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven; and then shall the tribes of the earth lament bitterly, and they shall see the Son of man coming upon the clouds of heaven with power and much glory. ³¹ And he shall send his messengers, with the great voice of the trumpet, and they shall bring together his chosen from the four winds, from the extremities of the heavens to the extremities.

²⁵ And signs shall be in the sun, and moon, and stars; and upon earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and commotion resounding. ²⁶ Men losing breath for fear and expectation of things coming on the habitable globe: for the powers of the heavens shall be shaken. ²⁷ And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with much power and glory.

¹⁹ And I will give wonders in heaven above, and signs upon the earth below; blood, and fire, and steam of smoke: ²⁰ The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and distinguished day of the Lord come:

¹⁰ And the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in which the heavens shall pass away with a loud noise, and the elements, suffering from excessive heat, shall be dissolved, and the earth and the works in it shall be burned down.

¹² Expecting and seeking earnestly the presence of the day of God, during which the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements going to be burned are melted away?

¹² And I saw when he opened the sixth seal, and, behold, there was a great shaking; and the sun was black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon was as blood; ¹³ And the stars of heaven fell to the earth, as a fig tree casts her untimely figs, shaken by a great wind. ¹⁴ And the heaven was separated as a book turned round; and every mount and isle were moved from their places.

¹¹ And I saw a great white throne, and him sitting upon it, from the face of whom the earth and the heaven fled; and there was found no place for them.

⁴ And all the army of the heavens melted, and the heavens shall roll together as a book, and all their army shall fall away as the leaf falling from the vine, and as a falling from the fig tree.

¹³ And the stars of heaven fell to the earth, as a fig tree casts her untimely figs, shaken by a great wind.

⁹ I was seeing even till thrones were cast down, and the Ancient of days sat, his garment white as snow, and the hair of his head as pure wool: his throne a flame of fire, his wheels a burning fire. ¹⁰ A river of fire flowed and went out from before him: thousands of thousands will wait upon him, and myriads of myriads will stand before him: the tribunal sat, and the books were opened. ¹¹ I was seeing at that time from the voice of the great words that the horn was speaking: I was seeing even till that the beast was killed and its body destroyed, and it was given to the burning fire. ¹² And the rest of the beasts they took away their power: and length in life was given to them for a season and time. ¹³ I was seeing in the visions of the night, and lo, with the clouds of the heavens as the Son of man he came, and turning even to the Ancient of days; and they brought him near before him. ¹⁴ And to him was given dominion, power and honor, and a kingdom; and all peoples and nations and tongues shall serve to him: his power an eternal power that shall not pass away, and his kingdom which shall not be destroyed.

¹⁷ And Jesus, having answered, said to him, Happy art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood has not revealed to thee, but my Father, he in the heavens.

²⁷ For the Son of man is about to come in the glory of his Father with his messengers; and then he will give back to each according to his deed.

³⁰ And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven; and then shall the tribes of the earth lament bitterly, and they shall see the Son of man coming upon the clouds of heaven with power and much glory.

³¹ And when the Son of man should come in his glory, and all his holy messengers with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:

³⁸ For whoever should be ashamed of me and my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; also the Son of man shall be ashamed of him, when he should come in the glory of the Father with the holy messengers.

⁶² And Jesus said, I am: and ye shall see the Son of man sitting from the right hand of power, and coming with the clouds of heaven.

¹¹ And they said, Galilean men, why stand ye looking to heaven this Jesus, taken up from you to heaven, so shall he come which manner ye saw him going to heaven.

¹⁶ For the Lord himself in the word of command, in the voice of the archangel, shall descend from heaven: and the dead in Christ shall be raised first:

⁷ And to you being pressed a release with us, in the revelation of the Lord Jesus from heaven with the angels of his power, ⁸ In fire of flame giving vengeance to them not knowing God, and to them not listening to the good news of our Lord Jesus Christ: ⁹ Who shall undergo punishment, eternal ruin from the face of the Lord, and from the glory of his power; ¹⁰ When he should come to be honoured in his holy ones, and to be admired in all the believing, (that our testimony among you was believed) in that day.

⁷ Behold, he comes with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they who goaded him: and all the tribes of the earth shall lament on account of him. Yes, Amen.

¹⁰ The rod shall not depart from Judah, and a leader from between his feet, till that Shiloh shall come: and to him the obedience of the nations.

⁴ If thy expelling shall be to the end of the heavens, from there thy God will gather thee, and from there he will take thee:

⁹ And I brought forth a seed out of Jacob, and out of Judah he shall inherit my mountain: and my chosen shall inherit it, and my servants shall dwell their.

⁶ Alas! alas! and flee ye from the land of the north, says Jehovah: for as the four winds of the heavens I spread you abroad, says Jehovah.

⁴² The queen of the South shall be raised up in judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it; for she came from the end of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon here.

⁴¹ The Son of man shall send forth his messengers, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all scandals, and those doing iniquity;

⁴⁹ So shall it be in the end of time; the messengers shall come forth, and separate the evil from the midst of the just,

³¹ And he shall send his messengers, with the great voice of the trumpet, and they shall bring together his chosen from the four winds, from the extremities of the heavens to the extremities.

³¹ And when the Son of man should come in his glory, and all his holy messengers with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory: ³² And all nations shall be gathered together before him, and he shall separate them from one another, as a shepherd separates the sheep from the kids: .

²⁰ And except the Lord shortened the days, no flesh should be saved: but for the chosen whom he chose, he shortened the days.

²² And it was, the beggar died, and was carried by messengers into Abraham's bosom: and the rich one died also, and was buried;

⁷ And shall not God do the avenging of his chosen, crying to him day and night, being slow to anger toward them?

¹⁶ And I have, other sheep, which are not of this court-yard: and I must also bring them, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one flock, and one shepherd.

⁵² And not for the nation alone, but that also the children of God, scattered, should be gathered into one.

³³ Who shall demand payment for the chosen of God? God justifying.

¹² Put on therefore, as the chosen of God, holy and beloved, bowels of compassions, kindnesses, humility, meekness, longsuffering;

¹⁴ For if we believe that Jesus died and rose up, so also God by Jesus Christ will bring with him them having slept. ¹⁵ For this we say to you in the word of the Lord, that we the living being left at the arrival of the Lord shall not get beforehand with them having slept. ¹⁶ For the Lord himself in the word of command, in the voice of the archangel, shall descend from heaven: and the dead in Christ shall be raised first: ¹⁷ Then we the living being left shall be snatched up together with them in the clouds, to the meeting of the Lord in the air: and so we shall always be with the Lord.

¹ And we ask you, brethren, concerning the arrival of our Lord Jesus Christ, and our assembling together to him,

¹⁰ For this I endure all things for the chosen, that they also might attain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.

² According to the foreknowledge of God the Father, in the consecration of the Spirit, to obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace to you, and peace, be multiplied.

¹ And after these things I saw four angels standing upon the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind blow not upon the earth, nor upon the sea, nor upon any tree. ² And I saw another angel having come from the rising of the sun, having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a great voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to injure the earth and the sea, ³ Saying, Injure not the earth, neither the sea, neither the trees, until we should seal the servants of God upon their foreheads.

⁵ Of the tribe of Judah twelve thousand sealed. Of the tribe of Reuben twelve thousand sealed. Of the tribe of Gad twelve thousand sealed. ⁶ Of the tribe of Aser twelve thousand sealed. Of the tribe of Nepthalim twelve thousand sealed. Of the tribe of Manasses twelve thousand sealed. ⁷ Of the tribe of Simeon twelve thousand sealed. Of the tribe of Levi twelve thousand sealed. Of the tribe of Issachar twelve thousand sealed. ⁸ Of the tribe of Zabulon twelve thousand sealed. Of the tribe of Joseph twelve thousand sealed. Of the tribe of Benjamin twelve thousand sealed. ⁹ After these things I saw, and, behold, a great multitude, which none could number it, of all nations, and tribes, and peoples, and tongues, standing before the throne, and before the Lamb, having put round white robes, and palm trees in their hands;

⁶ And the seven angels came forth out of the temple, having the seven blows, clothed in linen, pure and shining, and being girded about the breasts with golden girdles. ⁷ And one of the four living creatures gave the seven angels seven golden bowls full of the wrath of God, living forever and ever.

³² And from the fig tree learn a parable; When already her young shoot should be tender, and the leaves should spring forth, ye know that summer is near: ³³ So also ye, when ye should see all these things, know ye that it is near at the doors.

²⁹ And he spake to them a parable; See the fig tree, and all trees; ³⁰ When they should already throw forth, seeing of yourselves ye know that summer is already near. ³¹ So also ye, when ye see these being, know that the kingdom of God is near.

¹⁰ Behold the day, behold, it came: the circle shall go forth; the rod blossomed, pride flourished. ¹¹ Violence rose up for a rod of injustice: not from them, not from their multitude, and not from their confusion: and nothing eminent in them. ¹² The time came, the day drew near: he buying shall not rejoice, and he selling, shall not mourn: for burning upon all her multitude.

²⁵ For I am Jehovah: I will speak, what word I will speak and it shall be done; it shall no more be protracted: for in your days, O house of contradiction, I will speak the word, and I did it, says the Lord Jehovah. ²⁶ And the word of Jehovah will be to me, saying, ²⁷ Son of man, behold the house of Israel saying, The vision which he saw is for many days, and for the times afar off he prophesied. ²⁸ For this, say to them, Thus said the Lord Jehovah: No more shall my words be protracted, for I will speak the word and it shall be done, says the Lord Jehovah.

²⁵ Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the custom to some; but beseeching: and by so much the more, inasmuch as ye see the day drawing near. ²⁶ For we sinning voluntarily after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there is left no more a sacrifice for sins, ²⁷ But a certain terrible expectation of judgment and jealousy of fire, being about to devour the adversaries. ²⁸ Any one having rejected Moses' law, without compassion dies by two or three witnesses: ²⁹ Of how much worse punishment, think ye, shall he be deemed worthy. having trodden down the Son of God, and deemed the blood of the covenant common, in which he was consecrated, and having outraged the Spirit of grace? ³⁰ For we know him having said, Vengeance to me, I will give back, says the Lord. And again, The Lord will judge his people. ³¹ Terrible to fall into the hands of the living God. ³² And recall to mind the former days, in which, having been enlightened, ye endured a great combat of sufferings; ³³ This, truly, being exposed to public view both by reproaches and pressures; and this, having been partakers of those thus overturned. ³⁴ For ye also suffered together with me in bonds, and received the pillage of your possessions with joy, knowing to have in yourselves a better and abiding substance in the heavens. ³⁵ Throw not away therefore your freedom of speech, which has great payment of reward. ³⁶ For ye have need of patience, that, having done the will of God, ye might receive the promise. ³⁷ For yet a little while only, he coming will come, and will not tarry.

⁹ Groan not against one another, brethren, that ye be not condemned: behold, the judge stands before the door.

¹⁷ For the time for judgment to have begun from the house of God: and if first from us, what the end of them not believing the good tidings of God? ¹⁸ And if the just one with difficulty be saved, where shall the irreligious and sinful appear

²⁸ Verily I say to you, Some are standing here, who should not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.

³⁶ Truly I say to you, All these shall come upon this generation.

³⁴ Truly I say to you, That this generation should not pass away, till all these things should be.

¹ And he said to them, Truly I say to you, That some of those are standing here, who should not taste of death, till they see the kingdom of God having come in power.

³² Truly I say to you, That this generation should not pass away, even till all things should be.

¹⁹ God is not man, and will he lie? and the son of man, and will he grieve? Did he say, and will he not do? and speak, and will he not establish?

¹⁴ And behold, I go this day in the way of all the earth; and ye knew in all your heart and in all your soul that not one word fell from all the good words which Jehovah your God spake concerning you; all came to you; not one word fell from it 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.

⁷ The law of Jehovah is blameless, turning back the soul; the testimonies of Jehovah being faithful, making wise the simple.

²⁵ Before time thou didst found the earth, and the heavens the work of thy hands. ²⁶ They shall perish and thou shalt stand. And all they shall fall away as a garment; as clothing thou shalt change them, and they shall be changed. ²⁷ And thou the same, and thy years shall not finish.

⁸ The grass was dried up, the flower fell away: and the word of our God shall stand forever.

⁶ Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look to the earth from beneath: for the heavens as smoke vanished away, and the earth as a garment shall decay, and they inhabiting as thus shall die; and my salvation shall be forever, and my justice shall not be broken.

⁶ But the words and the laws which I commanded my servants the prophets, did they not reach your fathers? and they will turn back and say, As Jehovah of armies purposed to do to us according to our ways and according to our doings, so he did with us.

¹⁸ For verily I say to you, Till heaven pass away, and earth, one iota, or one mark, should not pass away from the law, till all should be

³⁵ The heaven and the earth shall pass away, but my words should not pass away.

³³ Heaven and earth shall pass away: and my words shall not pass away.

¹³ If we believe not, he remains faithful: he cannot deny himself.

² In hope of eternal life, (which God, not false, promised before eternal times;

¹⁰ And, Thou, at the beginning, Lord, didst lay the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the work of thy hands: ¹¹ These shall be destroyed; but thou remainest; and they all as a garment shall grow old; ¹² And as a cloak shalt thou turn them round, and they shall be changed: but thou art the same, and thy years shall not fail.

¹⁰ And the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in which the heavens shall pass away with a loud noise, and the elements, suffering from excessive heat, shall be dissolved, and the earth and the works in it shall be burned down. ¹¹ Therefore all these being dissolved, of what race ought ye to be in holy turning round and devotion, ¹² Expecting and seeking earnestly the presence of the day of God, during which the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements going to be burned are melted away?

³⁶ And concerning that day and hour, none know, nor the messengers of the heavens, except my Father only. ³⁷ And as the days of Noe, so shall be the arrival of the Son of man. ³⁸ For as they were in the days of the inundation, eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day Noe came into the ark, ³⁹ And knew not till the inundation came, and took them all away; so also shall be the arrival of the Son of man. ⁴⁰ Then shall be two in the field; one shall be taken, and one is let go; ⁴¹ Two grinding in the mill; one shall be taken, and one let go. ⁴² Watch therefore; for ye know not what hour your Lord comes.

⁶ And in the middle of the night there was a cry, Behold, the bridegroom comes; go ye forth to his meeting.

¹³ Watch, therefore, for ye know not the day, neither the hour, in which the Son of man comes.

¹⁹ And after much time the lord of these servants comes, and lifts up the word with them.

²⁶ And then shall they see the Son of man coming in clouds with much power and glory. ²⁷ And then shall he send his messengers, and gather together his chosen from the four winds, from extremity of earth to extremity of heaven.

⁷ And he said to them, It is not yours to know the times and occasions, which the Father fixed in his own power.

¹ And of the times and seasons, brethren, ye have no need to write to you. ² For ye yourselves know accurately that the day of the Lord, as a thief in the night, so comes.

¹ The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave to him, to show to his servants what things must be with speed; and he signified having sent by his angel to his servant John:

³ Remember therefore how thou hast received, and heard, and do thou, and repent. If therefore thou watch not, I will come upon thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I shall come upon thee.

⁴² Watch therefore; for ye know not what hour your Lord comes. ⁴³ But know this, that if the master of the house had known what watch the thief comes, he had watched, and would not have suffered his house to be undermined. ⁴⁴ Therefore be ye also prepared: for what hour ye think not, the Son of man comes.

⁴⁰ And he comes to his disciples, and finds them sleeping, and says to Peter, So were ye not able to watch with me one hour? ⁴¹ Watch and pray, lest ye come into temptation: truly the spirit of a ready will, and the flesh weak.

²³ But see ye; behold, I have foretold you all things.

³⁵ Watch therefore: for ye know not when the lord of the house comes, at eve, or midnight, or cock-crowing, or morning. ³⁶ Lest having come suddenly he find you sleeping. ³⁷ And what I say to you, I say to all, Watch ye.

³⁷ And he comes, and finds them sleeping, and says to Peter, Simon, sleepest thou? couldeat thou not watch one Hour? ³⁸ Watch ye and pray, that ye should not come into temptation. Truly the spirit well inclined, and the flesh weak.

⁴⁰ And be ye therefore ready: for in the time which ye think not the Son of man is coming.

¹¹ And this, knowing the time, that already the hour ye should be awakened out of sleep: for now our salvation nearer than when we believed. ¹² The night has advanced, and the day has drawn near: therefore let us lay down the works of darkness, and put on the weapons of light.

¹⁴ But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not consideration for the flesh, for the passions.

¹³ Watch ye, stand in the faith, be manly, be strengthened..

¹⁸ By all prayer and supplication praying in all time in Spirit, and for this same watching vigilantly in all perseverance and supplication for the holy:

⁵ Ye are all sons of light, and sons of day: we are not of night, nor of darkness. ⁶ Therefore let us not sleep, as also the rest; but let us watch and be sober. ⁷ For they sleeping sleep in the night; and they drunken are drunken in the night. ⁸ And we, being of the day, let us be sober, putting on the coat of mail of faith and love; and a helmet, the hope of salvation.

¹⁵ Observing narrowly lest any be failing of the grace of God: lest any root of bitterness springing forth aloft give trouble, and by this many be defiled;

⁷ And the end of all has drawn near: be ye therefore of sound mind, and live abstemiously in prayers.

⁸ Be abstemious, watch; for your adversary the accuser, as a roaring lion, walks around, seeking whom he might swallow down:

² Be watching, and make firm the remaining things, which are about to die: For I have not found thy works perfected before God.

¹⁵ (Behold, I come as a thief. Happy he watching, and keeping his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.)

¹⁷ Son of man, I gave thee a watchman to the house of Israel: and hear thou the word from my mouth, and admonish them from me. ¹⁸ In my saying to the unjust, Dying, thou shalt die; and thou admonished him not, and thou spakest not to admonish the unjust from his way of injustice to preserve him alive; this unjust one shall die in his iniquity, and his blood I will seek from thy hand. ¹⁹ And if thou hast admonished the unjust one, and he turned not back from his evil and from his way of injustice; he shall die in his iniquity and thou deliveredst thy soul. ²⁰ And in the just turning back from his justice and doing evil, and I gave a stumbling-block before his face, he shall die: for thou didst not admonish him, in his sins he shall die, and his justice shall not be remembered which he did; and his blood will I seek from thy hand. ²¹ And if thou admonishedst the just for the just not to sin, and he sin not, living, he shall live, for he was admonished; and thou didst deliver thy soul.

² Son of man, speak to the sons of thy people and say to them, A land, when I shall bring the sword upon her, and the people of the land took one man from their extremities, and they gave him to them for a watchman. ³ And he saw the sword coming upon the land, and he struck upon the trumpet and warned the people; ⁴ And he hearing, heard the voice of the trumpet, and he took not warning; and the sword will come and take him. away; his blood shall be upon his head. ⁵ He heard the voice of the trumpet, and he took not warning; his blood shall be upon him. He taking warning delivered his soul. ⁶ And if the watchman shall see the sword coming, and he struck not upon the trumpet, and the people were not warned; and the sword shall come and take a soul from them, he was taken away in his iniquity, and his blood I will seek from the watchman's hand. ⁷ And thou son of man, I gave thee a watchman to the house of Israel; and thou heardest the word from my mouth, and thou didst warn them from me. ⁸ In my saying to the, unjust, O unjust one, dying, thou shalt die; and thou spakest not to warn the unjust from his way, that unjust one shall die in his iniquity, and I will seek his blood from thine hand. ⁹ And thou, if thou warnedst the unjust from his way to turn back from it, and be turned not back from his way, he shall die in his iniquity; and thou didst deliver thy soul.

¹⁹ And I will give thee the keys of the kingdom of the heavens: and whatever thou shalt bind upon earth shall be bound in the heavens: and whatever thou shalt loose upon earth shall be loosed in the heavens.

⁴⁵ Who then is the faithful and discerning servant, which his lord set over his attendance, to give them food in due season ⁴⁶ Happy that servant which his lord, having come, shall find doing thus. ⁴⁷ Truly I say to you, That he shall set him over all his possessions.

¹⁴ For as a man going abroad, called his own servants, and delivered them his possessions: ¹⁵ And to one he truly gave five talents, and to one, two, and to one, one; to each according to his own power; and he quickly went abroad. ¹⁶ And he having received five talents, having gone, worked with them, and he made other five talents. ¹⁷ Likewise he having the two also, gained he also other two. ¹⁸ And he having received one, having departed, dug in the earth, and concealed his lord's silver. ¹⁹ And after much time the lord of these servants comes, and lifts up the word with them. ²⁰ And he having received the five talents, having come near, brought the other five talents, saying, Lord, thou deliveredst me five talents: and I have gained other five talents. ²¹ And his lord said to him, Well, good and faithful servant: thou west faithful over a few things, I will set thee over many; enter into the joy of thy lord. ²² And he also having received the two talents, having come near said, Lord, thou deliveredst me two talents; see, I gained two other talents to them. ²³ His lord said to him, Well, good and faithful servant; thou wast faithful over a few things, I will set thee over many; enter into the joy of thy lord. ²⁴ And he also having received one talent, having come near, said, Lord, I knew thee that thou art a hard man, reaping where thou sowedst not, and gathering where thou scatteredst not: ²⁵ And having been afraid, having gone away, I concealed thy talent in the earth; see, thou hast thine own. ²⁶ And his lord having answered, said to him, O evil and slothful servant, thou knewest that I reap where I sowed not, and gather where I scattered not: ²⁷ Thou therefore oughtest to have cast my silver to the money changers, and I having come, had received mine own, with interest ²⁸ Therefore take the talent away from him, and give him having ten talents. ²⁹ For to every one having shall be given, and he shall be in abundance: and from him not having, also what he has shall be taken away from him. ³⁰ And cast ye the useless servant into darkness without; weeping shall be there, and gnashing of teeth.

³⁶ And ye like men expecting their Lord, when he shall loose from the nuptials; that having come and knocked, they might quickly open to him. ³⁷ Happy those servants, whom the Lord having come shall find watching; truly I say to you, he will gird himself, and make them recline, and having come he will serve them. ³⁸ And if he should come in the second watch, and should come in the third watch, and find so, happy are those servants. ³⁹ And know this, that if the master of the house knew what hour the thief is coming, he had watched, and not have suffered his house to be undermined. ⁴⁰ And be ye therefore ready: for in the time which ye think not the Son of man is coming.

¹² Then he said, A certain honourable man went into a country far off to take unto himself a kingdom, and to return. ¹³ And having called his ten servants, he gave them ten coins, and said to them, Attend to business, till I come. ¹⁴ And his citizens hated him, and sent an embassy after him, saying, We wish not this to reign over us. ¹⁵ And it was in his coming back, having received the kingdom, and he spake to have these servants called to him, to whom he gave the silver, that he might know who had attended to any business. ¹⁶ And the first approached, saying, Lord, thy coin has gained ten coins. ¹⁷ And he said to him, Well, good servant: because thou west faithful in the least, be thou having power over ten cities.

³ To him the guard of the door opens; and the sheep hear his voice : and he calls his own sheep by name, and leads them out.

²⁹ For I know this, that there shall come in after my departure grievous wolves to you, not sparing the flock. ³⁰ And of yourselves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to tear away disciples after them. ³¹ Wherefore watch ye, remembering that the space of three years night and day I ceased not reminding each one with tears.

⁴ For as in one body we have many members, and all members have not the same action: ⁵ So we, the many, are one body in Christ, and the members for one another. ⁶ And having gifts different according to the grace given us, whether prophecy, according to the due proportion of faith; ⁷ Whether service, in service: whether he teaching, in instruction; ⁸ Whether he beseeching, in supplication: he imparting, in simplicity; he placed before, in earnestness; he compassionating, in cheerfulness.

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

⁵ Who then is Paul, and who Apollos, but servants by whom ye believed, and to each as the Lord gave? ⁶ I have planted, Apollos watered; but God increased. ⁷ So that neither he planting is anything, neither he watering; but God increasing. ⁸ And he planting and he watering are one: and each shall receive his own reward according to his own labor. ⁹ For we are workers together with God: the agriculture of God, ye are the building of God. ¹⁰ According to the grace of God given to me, as a wise chief-architect, I have laid the foundation, and another builds upon. And let each see how he builds upon.

⁴ And there are distinctions of favors, and the same Spirit. ⁵ And there are distinctions of services, and the same Lord. ⁶ And there are distinctions of performances, and it is the same God performing all things in all. ⁷ And to each is given the manifestation of the Spirit for profit. ⁸ For truly to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; and to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit; ⁹ And to another faith in the same Spirit; and to another graces of healings in the same Spirit; ¹⁰ And to another performances of powers; and to another discriminations of spirits; and to another kinds of tongues; and to another interpretation of tongues: ¹¹ And all these works one and the same Spirit, dividing to each his own things as be will. ¹² For as the body is one, and has many members, and all the members of the one body, being many, is one body: so also is Christ. ¹³ For also in one Spirit were we all immersed into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether servants or free; and we have all been given to drink into one Spirit. ¹⁴ For also the body is not one member, but many. ¹⁵ If the foot say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; by this is it not of the body ¹⁶ And if the ear say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body; by this is it not of the body ¹⁷ If the whole body an eye, where the hearing If the whole hearing, where the smelling? ¹⁸ And now has God set the members each one of them in the body, as he would. ¹⁹ And if all were one member, where the body ²⁰ And now truly many members, and one body. ²¹ The eye cannot say to the hand, I have no need of thee: or again the head to the feet, I have no need of you. ²² But much rather the members of the body, seeming to be weak, are necessary: ²³ And what we think to be less honourable of the body, upon these we put more abundant honour; and our unseemly parts have more abundant decorum. ²⁴ And our becoming parts have no need: but God blended the body together, to the wanting having given more abundant honour: ²⁵ That no division be in the body; but the members should care the same for one another. ²⁶ And whether one member suffer, all the members suffer together; or one member is honoured, all the members rejoice together. ²⁷ And ye are the body of Christ, and members by parts. ²⁸ And whom truly God set in the church, first the sent, second the prophets, third teachers, then powers, then graces of healings, helps, directions, kinds of tongues. ²⁹ Not all sent: not all prophets: not all teachers: not all powers: ³⁰ All have not the favors of healing: not all speaking with tongues: not all interpret accurately. ³¹ And be emulous of the better favors: and yet I shew you a way according to eminence.

⁵⁸ Wherefore, my beloved brethren, be stable, unmoved, abounding in the work of the Lord always, knowing that our fatigue is not in vain in the Lord.

²⁴ Knowing that from the Lord ye shall receive the reward of inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ.

¹ Lords, render ye to servants Justice and equality; knowing that ye also have a Lord in the heavens.

⁷ And to the messenger of the church in Philadelphia write; Thus says the holy, the true, he having the key of David, he opening, and no one shuts; and he shuts, and no one opens;

⁴² Watch therefore; for ye know not what hour your Lord comes.

⁴⁴ Therefore be ye also prepared: for what hour ye think not, the Son of man comes.

⁴⁸ And he saw them trying to urge forward, for the wind was contrary to them: and about the fourth watch of the night he comes to them walking upon the sea, and he would pass by them.

³⁰ And Jesus says to him, Truly I say to thee, That to day, in this night, surely before the cock has uttered a sound twice, thou shalt deny me thrice.

⁹ How long, O slothful one, wilt thou lie down? when wilt thou rise from thy sleep? ¹⁰ A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to lie down: ¹¹ And thy poverty came as he going, and thy want as a man of the shield.

³³ A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to lie down: ³⁴ And thy poverty came going about, and thy want as a man of shield.

¹ Upon my bed in the night I sought him whom my soul loved: I sought him, and I found him not

² I slept and my heart waked: the voice of my beloved knocks at the door; Open to me, my sister, my friend, my dove, my perfect one: my head was filled with dew, my locks with the drops of the night

¹⁰ Look about, ye blind; they all knew not, they all dumb dogs, they shall not be able to bark; dreaming, lying down, loving to slumber.

⁵ And the bridegroom delaying, they all slumbered and slept.

³⁷ And he comes, and finds them sleeping, and says to Peter, Simon, sleepest thou? couldeat thou not watch one Hour?

⁴⁰ And having turned back, he found them again sleeping, (for their eyes were loaded,) and they knew not what they might answer him.

⁴⁵ And having risen from prayer, having come to his disciples, he found them sleeping from grief;

¹¹ And this, knowing the time, that already the hour ye should be awakened out of sleep: for now our salvation nearer than when we believed. ¹² The night has advanced, and the day has drawn near: therefore let us lay down the works of darkness, and put on the weapons of light. ¹³ As in the day, let us walk becomingly; not in revelries and drunkenness, not in coition and licentiousness, not in strife and envy. ¹⁴ But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not consideration for the flesh, for the passions.

¹⁴ Wherefore he says, Awake, who sleeping, and arise from the dead, and Christ will enlighten thee.

⁶ Therefore let us not sleep, as also the rest; but let us watch and be sober. ⁷ For they sleeping sleep in the night; and they drunken are drunken in the night.

³⁵ Watch therefore: for ye know not when the lord of the house comes, at eve, or midnight, or cock-crowing, or morning.

⁴¹ And Peter said to him, Lord, sayest thou this parable to us, or also to all? ⁴² And the Lord said, Who then is that faithful and wise steward, which the Lord will set over his household, to give the allowance of wheat in due time? ⁴³ Happy that servant, which his Lord, having come, shall find so doing. ⁴⁴ Truly I say to you, that he will set him over all his possessions. ⁴⁵ And if that servant should say in his heart, My Lord delays to come; and should begin to strike the servants and maids, also to eat and drink, and to be intoxicated; ⁴⁶ The lord of that servant shall come in a day which he expects not, and in an hour which he knows not, and he will cut him in two equal parts, and set his portion with the unbelieving.
