¹ Then shall the kingdom of the heavens be likened to ten virgins, who having taken their lanterns, went forth to the meeting of the bridegroom. ² And five of them were discerning, and five foolish. ³ Those foolish having taken their lanterns, took no oil with them. ⁴ And the discerning took oil in their vessels with their lanterns. ⁵ And the bridegroom delaying, they all slumbered and slept. ⁶ And in the middle of the night there was a cry, Behold, the bridegroom comes; go ye forth to his meeting. ⁷ Then all these virgins were aroused, and put their lanterns in order. ⁸ And the foolish said to the discerning, Give us of your oil; for our lights are quenched. ⁹ And the discerning answered, saying, Lest it should not suffice us and you: but go ye rather to those selling, and buy for yourselves. ¹⁰ And they, going to buy, the bridegroom came; and they prepared, went in with him to the nuptials; and the door was locked. ¹¹ And afterwards came also the rest of the virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us. ¹² And he having answered said, Truly I say to you, I know you not. ¹³ Watch, therefore, for ye know not the day, neither the hour, in which the Son of man comes. ¹⁴ For as a man going abroad, called his own servants, and delivered them his possessions:

¹⁶ And he said to him, A certain man made a great supper and called many; ¹⁷ And he sent his servant at the hour of the supper to say to the called, Come; for all things are already prepared. ¹⁸ And from one they all began to conciliate. The first said to him, I bought a field, and have necessity to go and see it: I ask thee, have me pardoned. ¹⁹ And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to prove them: I ask thee, have me pardoned. ²⁰ And another said, I have married wife, and therefore I cannot come. ²¹ And approaching, that servant announced to his lord these things. Then the master of the house, angry, said to his servant, Go forth quickly into the streets and quarters of the city, and bring in hither the poor, the maimed, the lame, and the blind. ²² And the servant said, Lord, it has been done as thou hest commanded, and yet there is place. ²³ And the lord said to the servant, Go out into the ways and hedges, and compel to come in, that my house may be filled up. ²⁴ For I say to you, That none of those men called shall taste of my supper.

²⁴ But as the church is subjected to Christ, so also wives to their own husbands in everything. ²⁵ Husbands, love your own wives, as also Christ loved the church, and delivered himself up for it; ²⁶ That he might consecrate it, having cleansed by the washing of water in the word, ²⁷ That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing: but that it be holy and blameless. ²⁸ So ought men to love their own wives as their own bodies. He loving his wife, loves himself. ²⁹ For none at any time hates his own flesh; but brings it up and cherishes it, as also the Lord the church: ³⁰ For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones. ³¹ For this a man shall leave his father and mother, and be joined to his wife, and they two shall be one flesh. ³² This is a great mystery: but I speak to Christ and to the church.

⁷ Let us rejoice, and be transported with joy, and let us give glory to him: for the marriage of the Lamb came, and his wife prepared herself. ⁸ And it was given her that she put on fine linen, pure and shining: for fine linen is the justification of the holy. ⁹ And he says to me, Write, Happy they called to the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he says to me, These are the true words of God.

¹¹ Jehovah will give the word: to those announcing good news a great army.

¹⁰ I am Jehovah thy God bringing thee up from the land of Egypt: make broad thy mouth and I will fill it ¹¹ And my people heard not to my voice; and Israel was not inclined to me. ¹² And I will send him forth in the hardnesses of their heart: they shall go in their counsels.

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 ³² For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the error of the foolish shall destroy them.

¹ Wisdom built her house, she hewed out her seven pillars: ² She slaughtered her slaughter; she mingled her wine; also she prepared her table. ³ She sent forth her girls: she will call upon the wings of the heights of the city,

¹ Ho, every one thirsting, Come ye to the waters, and whom there is not to him silver, come ye, buy and eat; and come ye, and buy without silver and without price, wine and milk. ² Wherefore will ye weigh silver without bread? and your labour not for fulness? hearing, hear ye to me, and eat good, and your soul shall delight in fatness.

¹⁶ Thus said Jehovah, Stand ye upon the ways, and see, and ask for the beaten paths of old, where this the good way, and go ye in it, and find rest to your soul. And they will say, We will not go. ¹⁷ And I set up watchers over you, Attend ye to the voice of the trumpet And they will say, We will not attend.

⁴ And Jehovah sent to you all his servants the prophets, rising early and sending; and ye heard not, and ye inclined not your ear to hear.

Truly I say to you, It shall be more supportable for the Sodomites or Gomorrhites in the day of judgment, than that city.

¹ And having called together his twelve disciples, he gave them power and authority over all demons, and to cure diseases. ² And he sent them to proclaim the kingdom of God, and heal the sick. ³ And he said to them, Take away nothing for the way, neither rods, nor wallet, nor bread, nor silver; nor to have two coats apiece. ⁴ And into whatever house ye come in, remain there, and come out thence. ⁵ And as many as should not receive you, having come out of that city, and shake off the cloud of dust from your feet for testimony against them. ⁶ And having gone out, they went through the towns, proclaiming the good news, and healing every where.

¹⁷ And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him hearing say, Come. And let him thirsting come. And let him wishing, take the water of life freely.

¹⁷ And they will refuse to hear, and they will not remember thy wonders which thou didst with them; and they will harden their necks, and they will give a head to turn back to their servitude in their perverseness: and thou a God of forgivenesses, merciful and compassionate, slow to anger and great of mercy, and thou didst not forsake them.

⁵ For thou, O Jehovah, art good and forgiving, and great of mercy to all calling to thee.

¹ I Came to my garden, my sister, O spouse: I gathered my myrrh with my spices; I ate my droppings with my honey; I drank my wine with my milk: Eat, O friends; drink ye, and drink to the full, O beloved ones.

⁸ Then says he to his servants, Truly the nuptial feast is prepared, and those called were not worthy.

¹ And after these the Lord showed forth other seventy, and sent them together two and two before his face into every city and place, where he was about to come. ² Then said he to them, Truly the harvest much, and the laborers few: implore therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth laborers into his harvest. ³ Retire: behold, I send you as lambs in the midst of wolves. ⁴ Carry no purse, nor wallet, nor shoes: and greet none by the way. ⁵ And in whatever house ye enter, first say, Peace to this house. ⁶ And if truly the son of peace be there, your peace shall rest upon it: and if not so, it shall turn back to you. ⁷ And remain in the same house, eating and drinking the things of them: for the laborer is worthy of his hire. Go not from house to house. ⁸ And in whatever city ye enter, and they receive you, eat the things set before you. ⁹ And cure the sick in it, and say to them, The kingdom of God has drawn near to you. ¹⁰ And in whatever city ye enter, and they receive you not, having gone into its spacious ways, say, ¹¹ And the dust having cleaved to us from your city, we wipe off to you but know this, that the kingdom of God has drawn nigh to you. ¹² And I say to you, that it shall be more supportable in that day for Sodom, than for that city. ¹³ Woe to thee Chorazin! woe to thee Bethsaida! for if in Tyre and Sidon were the powers having been in you, long since had they changed the mind, sitting in sackcloth and ashes. ¹⁴ But for Tyre and Sidon shall it be more supportable in judgment, than for you. ¹⁵ And thou, Capernaurn, indeed even lifted up to heaven, shalt be cast down to hades. ¹⁶ He hearing you hears me and he rejecting you rejects me; and he rejecting me rejects him having sent me.

¹⁷ And he sent his servant at the hour of the supper to say to the called, Come; for all things are already prepared.

⁸ But ye shall receive power, the Holy Spirit having come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses to me also in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and Samaria, and even to the last of the earth.

¹⁹ Therefore truly those dispersed by the pressure having been on account of Stephen, passed through even to Phenice, and Cyprus, and Antioch, speaking the word to none except the Jews only. ²⁰ And certain of them were Cyprian and Cyrenian men, who having come to Antioch, spake to the Greeks announcing good news, the Lord Jesus.

¹⁷ And it was after three days Paul called together them being first of the Jews: and they having come together, he said to them, Men, brethren, I having done nothing against the people, or customs of the fathers, I was delivered in bonds from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans. ¹⁸ Who, having examined me, wished to loose, for no cause of death was in me. ¹⁹ And the Jews saying against, I was forced to appeal to Caesar; as having nothing to accuse my nation. ²⁰ For this cause therefore I besought to see you, and to speak: for, for the hope of Israel am I surrounded by this chain. ²¹ And they said to him, We neither received letters concerning thee from Judea, nor any of the brethren having been present announced or spoke any evil of thee. ²² And we desire to hear from thee what thou thinkest: for truly of this sect it is known to us that it is everywhere spoken against. 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. ²⁹ And he having said these things, the Jews departed, having much discussion in themselves. ³⁰ And Paul remained two whole years in his own wages, and received all going to him, ³¹ Proclaiming the kingdom of God, and teaching things concerning the Lord Jesus Christ, with all freedom of speech, unimpeded.

³² Who truly spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, and how not with him will he freely give us all?

⁷ Therefore cleanse out the old leaven, that ye may be a new mixture, as ye are unleavened. For also our pascha was sacrificed for us, Christ: ⁸ Therefore let us keep the festival, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of vice and wickedness; but with the unleavened of frankincense and truth.

¹⁴ And Lot will go out, and will speak to his sons-in-law, having taken his daughters, and he will say, Rise ye up, go forth out of this place; for Jehovah destroys the city: and he will be as laughing in the eyes of his sons-in-law.

³⁴ And Jacob gave Esau food, and the boiling of lentiles; and he will eat and drink and will rise and go forth: and Esau will despise the birth-right

²⁴ And they will despise in the land of desire; they trusted not to his word: ²⁵ And they will murmur in their tents; they heard not to the voice of Jehovah.

⁷ The fear of Jehovah is the beginning of knowledge: the foolish despised wisdom and instruction.

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:

²² And he having sown among thorns, this is he hearing the word; and the care of this time, and the deceit of riches, choke the word, and it is unfruitful.

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.

¹⁸ And from one they all began to conciliate. The first said to him, I bought a field, and have necessity to go and see it: I ask thee, have me pardoned. ¹⁹ And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to prove them: I ask thee, have me pardoned. ²⁰ And another said, I have married wife, and therefore I cannot come.

²⁶ And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be in the days of the Son of man. ²⁷ They ate, they drank, they married, they were given in marriage, till the day which Noe came into the ark, and the overflow came, and destroyed all. ²⁸ And likewise as it was in the days of Lot; they ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; ²⁹ And the day which Lot went out of Sodom, it rained fire and sulphur from heaven, and destroyed all. ³⁰ According to these shall be the day in which the Son of man is revealed. 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.

¹³ And others mocking. said, That they are filled with new wine.

²⁵ And he discoursing of justice, and temperance, and judgment about to be, Felix being terrified, answered, Having now, go; having taken time, I will recall thee.

⁴ Or the abundance of his goodness and forbearance and long suffering dos thou despise; not knowing that the goodness of God brings thee to repentance?

⁶ For the thought of the flesh, death; and the thought of the Spirit, life and peace.

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

⁴ Traitors, rash, haughty, devoted to pleasure more than loving God;

³ How shall we escape, having neglected such great salvation; which at the beginning taken to be spoken by the Lord, by them having heard was made firm to us;

¹⁵ Love not the world, nor the things in the world. If any love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. ¹⁶ For every thing which in the world, the eager desire of the flesh, and the eager desire of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.

¹⁰ Happy they driven out for justice: for their's is the kingdom of the heavens. 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.

¹² And entering into a house, do ye greet it. ¹³ And if the house should be worthy, let your peace come upon it; but if it be not worthy let your peace return to you. ¹⁴ And whoever should not receive you, nor hear your words, coming out of that house or that city, shake off the cloud of the dust of your feet. ¹⁵ Verily I say to you, it shall be more supportable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city. ¹⁶ Behold I send you as sheep in the midst of wolves; be ye therefore discerning as serpents, and pure as doves. ¹⁷ And hold ye from men: for they will deliver you up to councils, and in their assemblies will they scourge you. ¹⁸ And ye shalt be brought before leaders and kings for my sake, for a testimony to them and to the nations.

²² And ye shall be hated by all for my name: and he having remained to the end shall be saved. ²³ And when they drive you out in this city, flee ye to another; for verily I say to you, Ye shall not finish the cities of Israel till the Son of man come. ²⁴ The disciple is not above the teacher, nor the servant above his lord. ²⁵ Sufficient to the disciple that he be as his teacher, and the servant as his lord. If they have called the master of the house Beelzeboul, how much more those pertaining to his household?

³⁵ And the farmers having taken his servants, truly one they stripped, and one they killed, and one they stoned. ³⁶ Again he sent other servants, more than the first, and they did to them likewise. ³⁷ And afterwards he sent to them his son, saying, They will be changed by my son. ³⁸ And the farmers, seeing the son, said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and possess his inheritance. ³⁹ And having taken, they cast out of the vineyard, and killed.

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!

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. ²⁰ Remember the word which I said to you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they expelled me, they will also expel you; if they kept my word, they will keep yours also.

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.

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. ³ And they put hands upon them, and set in guard for the morrow: for it was already evening.

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. ⁴¹ Truly therefore they went rejoicing from the face of the council, that for his name they were deemed worthy to be dishonoured.

⁵¹ Ye stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, ye always resist the Holy Spirit: as your fathers, also you. 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: ⁵³ Who have received the law by the regulations of messengers, and ye watched not. ⁵⁴ And having heard those, they were sawn through their hearts, and they gnashed the teeth upon him. 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, ⁵⁶ And he said, Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing at the right hand of God. ⁵⁷ And having cried with a great voice, they held fast their ears, and rushed unanimously upon him,

¹ And Saul was assenting to his murder. And in that day was a great expulsion upon the church in Jerusalem; and all were scattered up and down in the countries of Judea and Samaria, except the sent.

¹⁴ For ye, brethren, were imitators of the churches of God being in Judea in Christ Jesus: for ye also suffered the same things by your own race, as they also by the Jews: 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;

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

⁵ Wo to Assur the rod of mine anger, and that rod in their hand, my wrath. ⁶ Against a polluted nation will I send him, and upon a people of my outpouring will I command him to spoil a spoil and to plunder a plunder, and to set them a treading down as the clay of the streets. ⁷ And he will not thus purpose, and his heart will not reckon thus; for in his heart to destroy and to cut off nations not few.

² Lift ye up a signal upon the bare mountain, lift up the voice to them; move the hand to and fro and they shall come in to the entrances of the noble minded. ³ I commanded to the consecrated, also I called the strong ones for mine anger, those exulting in my lifting up. ⁴ The voice of a mulitude in the mountain; the likeness of much people; the voice of the uproar of kingdoms, nations being gathered: Jehovah of armies reviewing the army of battle. ⁵ Coming from a land from afar, from the extremity of the heavens, Jehovah and the vessels of his wrath to overthrow all the earth.

²⁰ Thou a mallet to me, a weapon of war: and I broke the nations in pieces with thee, and I destroyed kingdoms with thee; ²¹ And I broke in pieces with thee the horse and his rider; and I broke in pieces with thee the chariot and its charioteer; ²² And I broke in pieces with thee man and woman; and I broke in pieces with thee the old man and the boy; and I broke in pieces with thee the young man and the virgin; ²³ And I broke in pieces with thee the shepherd and his flock; and I broke in pieces with thee the husbandman and his yoke; and I broke in pieces with thee the prefects and the rulers.

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.

¹¹ And Jehovah gave his voice before the face of his strength: for exceedingly great his camp, and strong he doing his word: for great the day of Jehovah, and exceedingly terrible; and who shall endure it?

²⁵ And I requited to you the years which the common locust ate, the feeder, and the devourer, and the creeping locust, my great army which I sent among you.

² And I gathered all nations, and I brought them down to the valley of Jehoshophat, and I contended with them there for my people and mine inheritance Israel whom they scattered among the nations, and they divided the land.

¹ Behold, the day to Jehovah coming, and thy spoil was divided in the midst of thee. ² And I gathered all the nations against Jerusalem for war; and the city was taken, and the houses were plundered, and the women shall be ravished; and half the city shall go forth into captivity, and the people being left shall not be cut off from the city.

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.

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.

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.

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.

¹⁶ Hindering us from speaking to the nations that they might be saved, to fill up their sins always: and the wrath of God has come before upon them even to the end.

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

¹¹ And to whatever city or town ye should come in, examine who in it is worthy; and there remain till ye go forth. ¹² And entering into a house, do ye greet it. ¹³ And if the house should be worthy, let your peace come upon it; but if it be not worthy let your peace return to you.

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. ³⁸ And whoever takes not his cross, and follows after me, is not worthy of me.

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 Watch therefore, in all time praying, that ye be deemed worthy to escape all these about to be, and to stand before the Son of man.

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:

⁴ Thou hast a few names also in Sardis which stained not their garments; and they shall walk about with me in white things: for they are worthy.

¹⁴ Happy they doing his commands, that their power shall be in the tree of life, and they might come in at the gates to the city.

²⁰ Wisdom will cry without; in the broad places she will give her voice: ²¹ She will call in the head of sound, in the entrances of the gates: in the city she will say her words: ²² How long, ye simple, will ye love simplicity? and mockers delight to mock for them, and the foolish hate knowledge? ²³ Ye shall turn back at my reproofs: behold, I will pour forth my spirit to you, I will make known my words to you.

¹ Shall not wisdom call, and understanding give her voice? ² She stood upon the head of the heights, upon the way of the house of the beaten paths. ³ At the hand of the gates, at the mouth of the city from the coming in of the doors she will cry: ⁴ To you, ye men, I shall call, and my voice is to the sons of man. ⁵ Understand craftiness, ye simple: and ye foolish, understand the heart

⁴ Who the simple, he shall turn aside here: he wanting heart, she said to him, ⁵ Come ye, eat of my bread, and drink ye of the wine I mingled. ⁶ Forsake ye the foolish, and live; and go straight in the way of understanding.

¹ Ho, every one thirsting, Come ye to the waters, and whom there is not to him silver, come ye, buy and eat; and come ye, and buy without silver and without price, wine and milk. ² Wherefore will ye weigh silver without bread? and your labour not for fulness? hearing, hear ye to me, and eat good, and your soul shall delight in fatness. ³ Incline your ear, and come to me, and hear, and your soul shall live; and I will cut out with you an eternal covenant, the sure mercies of David.

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

²¹ For the king of Babel stood at the mother of the way in the head of the two ways, to divine a divination; he shook with the arrows, he asked in the family gods, he looked in the liver.

¹⁵ And he said to them, Having gone into all the world proclaim the good news to all creation. ¹⁶ And he having believed and having been immersed shall be saved; but he not having believed shall be condemned.

⁴⁷ And repentance and remission of sins to be proclaimed in his name to all nations, having begun from Jerusalem.

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.

³⁸ And the field is the world; and the good seed, these are the sons of the kingdom; and the tares are the sons of the evil one;

¹¹ And the king, having come in to behold the reclining, saw there a man not clad with the garment of the wedding: ¹² And he says to him, Friend, how camest thou in here, not having a garment of the nuptial feast? And he was muzzled.

¹⁰ And they, going to buy, the bridegroom came; and they prepared, went in with him to the nuptials; and the door was locked.

⁹ Or know ye not that the unjust shall not inherit the kingdom of God Be ye not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor sodomites, ¹⁰ Nor thieves; nor covetous, nor intoxicated, nor railers, nor rapacious, shall inherit the kingdom of God. ¹¹ And these were some of you: but ye were washed, but ye were consecrated, but ye were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and in the Spirit of our God.

²¹ Lest, coming again, my God should humble me with you, and I shall mourn for many of them having sinned before, and not having repented for uncleanness, and fornication, and licentiousness which they committed.

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.

¹⁴ But I have a few things against thee, for thou hast there them holding the teaching of Balsam, who taught Balac to cast a stumbling-block before the sons of Israel, to eat things sacrificed to idols, and to commit fornication. ¹⁵ So also hast thou them holding the teaching of the Nicolaitanes, which I hate.

²⁰ But I have a few things against thee, for thou sufferest the woman Jezebel, calling herself a prophetess, to teach and to lead my servants astray to commit fornication, and to eat things offered to idols. ²¹ And I gave her time that she might repent of her fornication; and she repented not. ²² Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them committing adultery with her into great pressure, except they repent of their works. 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.

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;

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 I heard as the voice of the vast multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of powerful thunders, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord God, the Omnipotent Ruler, reigned.

²² And he will say to him over the vestry, Bring forth garments for all the servants of Baal. And he will bring forth to them garments.

¹³ All glory the king's daughter, in front: her clothing textures of gold. ¹⁴ With variegation she shall be brought to the King; the virgins after her, her companions, being brought to thee.

¹ Awake, awake, put on thy strength, O Zion; put on the garments of thy glory, O Jerusalem, the holy city: for the uncircumcised shall no more add to come into thee, and the unclean.

³ To set to those mourning in Zion, to give to them adorning instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, the vestment of praise for the spirit of faintness; and it shall be called to them, The mighty trees of justice of the planting of Jehovah, to be honored. ⁴ And they shall build the perpetual wastes; they shall raise up the former desolations, and they renewed the cities of the waste, the desolations of generation and generation. ⁵ And strangers stood and fed your sheep, and the sons of the stranger, your husbandmen and your vinedressers. ⁶ And ye shall be called the priests of Jehovah, serving our God; he shall say to you, Ye shall eat the strength of the nations, and ye shall take place in their honor. ⁷ For your shame the second place; and they shall rejoice in reproach, their portion: for this in their land they shall inherit the second place; eternal joy shall be to them. ⁸ For I Jehovah love judgment, hating robbery for burnt-offering; and I gave their works in truth, and I will cut out to them an eternal covenant ⁹ And their seed was known among the nations, and their offspring in the midst of the peoples: all seeing them shall recognise them, for they the seed Jehovah blessed. ¹⁰ Rejoicing, I will rejoice in Jehovah, my soul shall exult in my God, for he put upon me the garments of salvation, and he clothed me with a robe of justice, as a bridegroom will be a priest with a turban, and as a bride will be adorned with her dress.

⁶ And we were all as the unclean, and all our justice as the garment of monthly courses; and we shall all fail away as the leaf; and our iniquities as the wind will take us away.

²² But rejecting, thou didst reject us; thou wert angry against us even greatly.

¹² And it was in that time, I will search out Jerusalem with lights, and I reviewed upon the men curdled upon their lees, saying in their heart, Jehovah will do good and not evil.

³ And Joshua was clothed in filthy garments, and he stood before the messenger. ⁴ And he will answer and say to them standing before him, saying, Remove the filthy garments from off him, And he will say to him, See, I caused thine iniquity to pass from thee, and clothed thee with festive garments.

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.

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: .

²² And the justice of God by faith of Jesus Christ to all and upon all believing: for there is no distinction:

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

⁵ Therefore judge ye nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who also, will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and make manifest the counsels of hearts: and then shall praise be to each from God.

³ If also being even clothed we shall not be found naked.

²⁷ For as many of you as were immersed into Christ have put on Christ.

²⁴ And to put on the new man, created according to God in justice and sanctity of truth.

¹⁰ And having put on the new, being renewed in knowledge according to the image of him having created him: ¹¹ Where no Greek and Jew, circumcision and uncircumcision, foreigner, Scythian, servant, free: but Christ all things, and in all.

¹² For the word of God living, and effective, and more piercing than any two-mouthed sword, and penetrating even to the division both of soul and spirit, both the joints and marrows, and a critic of the reflections and thoughts of the heart. 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.

⁴ Thou hast a few names also in Sardis which stained not their garments; and they shall walk about with me in white things: for they are worthy. ⁵ He conquering, the same shall be surrounded in white garments; and I will not wipe out his name from the book of life, but I will acknowledge his name before my Father, and before his messengers.

¹⁸ I counsel thee to buy gold of me refined by fire, that thou mightest be rich; and white garments, that thou mightest be surrounded, and that the shame of thy nakedness might not be made manifest; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve that thou mightest see.

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

⁸ And it was given her that she put on fine linen, pure and shining: for fine linen is the justification of the holy.

⁹ He will watch the feet of the merciful and the unjust shall be silent in darkness; for not by strength shall man prevail.

¹⁶ And hope will be to the poor one, and iniquity contracted her mouth.

⁴² The upright shall see and be glad, and all iniquity shall shut her mouth.

²³ How wilt thou say, I was not defiled? I went not after the Baalims? See thy way in the valley, know what thou didst; a young she camel entangling her ways;

²⁶ As the shame of the thief when he shall be found, so was the house of Israel ashamed; they, their kings, their chiefs, and their priests, and their prophets,

²⁰ For I say to you, That except your justice abound more than the scribes and Pharisees, ye should not come into the kingdom of the heavens.

¹³ And he, having answered, said to one of them, Friend, I injure thee not; didst not thou agree with me for a drachma?

And she said, Yes, for so much. 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. ¹⁰ And she fell immediately at his feet, and expired: and the young men having come in, found her dead, and having carried out, interred near her husband. ¹¹ And great fear was upon the whole church, and upon all having heard these things.

²⁰ And Peter said to him, May thy silver be for ruin with thee, for thou thoughtest the gift of God to be purchased for money. ²¹ No portion is to thee, nor lot, in this word: for thy heart is not upright before God. ²² Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray to God, if perhaps the thought of thy heart be remitted to thee. ²³ For I see thee being in the bile of bitterness, and bond of iniquity.

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.

¹⁸ Truly, truly, I say to thee, when thou west younger, thou didst gird thyself and walk where thou wouldest;and when thou shalt grow old, thou shalt stretch out thy hands, and another shall gird thee, and bring thee where thou wilt not.

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

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.

⁹ Who shall undergo punishment, eternal ruin from the face of the Lord, and from the glory of his power;

⁴ For if God spared not the angels having sinned, but delivered up, hurled into Tartarus, to cords of darkness, having been kept for judgment;

¹⁷ These are fountains wanting water, clouds impelled by a hurricane; for whom the obscurity of darkness has been kept forever.

⁶ Also the angels not having kept their beginning, but having left their own habitation, he has kept in perpetual chains under darkness for the judgment of the great day.

¹³ Fierce waves of the sea, foaming out their own shames; wandering stars, to whom the obseurity of darkness has been kept forever.

²⁷ And there came not into her anything common, and any doing abomination, and a lie: but they written in the book of life of the Lamb.

¹³ Enter ye in through the strait gate, for broad the gate and spacious the way leading to destruction, and many are they coming in through it. ¹⁴ For strait the gate and afflicted the way leading into life, and few are they finding it.

¹⁶ So shall the last be first, and the first last; for many are called, but few chosen.

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

²³ And a certain said to him, Lord, if few saved? And he said to them, ²⁴ Strive earnestly to enter through the narrow gate: for many, I say to you, shall seek to enter in, and shall not be able.

¹⁰ Wherefore rather, brethren, be earnest to have your calling and selection made firm: for doing these, ye should not once stumble:

¹⁴ These will wage war with the Lamb, and the Lamb will conquer them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they with him called, and chosen, and faithful.

² The kings of the earth will place themselves, and the princes sat down together against Jehovah and against his Messiah.

⁶ And if he came to see, he will speak vanity: his heart will gather vanity to him; he will go forth without; he will speak.

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 ⁷ For nothing is deliverance to them? In anger bring down the peoples, O God.

⁶ They prepared a net for my steps; my soul was bent down: they dug a pit before me, they fell into the midst of it. Silence.

³ For behold, they lay in wait for my soul: the strong will gather against me; not my transgression and not my sin, O Jehovah.

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.

¹⁰ For I heard the slander of many, terror from round about Announce ye, and we will announce. Every man of my peace watching my halting: perhaps he will be persuaded, and we shall prevail against him, and we will take our vengeance of him.

¹³ And they sent to him certain of the Pharisees and of the Herodians, that they might catch him in the word. ¹⁴ And they having come, say to him, Teacher, we know that thou art true, and thou carest not for any one: for thou lookest not to the face of men, but in truth thou teachest the way of God: Is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar, or no? ¹⁵ Should we give, or not give? And he knowing their hypocrisy, said to them, Why tempt ye me? bring me a drachma that I might see it. ¹⁶ And they brought. And he says to them, Whose is this image and inscription? And they said to him, Caesar's. ¹⁷ And Jesus having answered, said to them, Give back Caesar's things to Caesar, and the things of God to God. And they wondered at him.

⁵³ And he saying these things to them, the scribes and Pharisees began to hold on greatly, and to put questions to him of many things: 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.

³ For reckon over him having endured such contradiction of the sinful against himself, lest being harassed, ye labor in your souls.

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.

¹⁴ And Micaiah will say, Jehovah lives, for what Jehovah shall say to me I will speak it.

²¹ Not now shall I lift up the face of man, and I shall not flatter to man. ²² For I knew not, shall I flatter; for a little while, he making me will take me away.

⁹ Not steadfast in his mouth; the midst of them mischiefs; their throat a grave opened; they will be smooth with their tongue,

² They will speak vanity each with his neighbor: smooth lips, with a heart and a heart will they speak

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.

⁵ A man making smooth against his neighbor spreads a net for his steps.

¹³ Transgressing and lying against Jehovah, and departing from after our God, speaking violence and apostasy, they conceived and muttered from the heart words of falsehood. ¹⁴ And judgment was turned away behind, and justice shall stand from far off: for truth fainted in the street, and right will not be able to come in. ¹⁵ And truth shall be lacking; and he departing from evil being plundered: and Jehovah will see, and it will be evil in his eyes, for no judgment

³ And they will bend their tongue, their bow, a lie: and they were not strong for faithfulness upon the land; for from evil to evil they went forth, and they knew me not, says Jehovah. ⁴ Watch ye each from his neighbor, and to any brother ye shall not trust, for every brother deceiving, will deceive, and every neighbor will go tale-bearing. ⁵ And they will mock, a man upon his neighbor, and they will not speak the truth: they taught their tongue to speak falsehood, they wearied themselves to sin.

³⁰ And thou son of man, the sons of my people are speaking against thee by the walls and in the doors of the houses, and speaking one to another, a man to his brother, saying, Come now and hear what the word coming forth from Jehovah. ³¹ And they will come to thee, according to the coming of the people, and they will sit before thee my people, and they heard thy words, and they did them not: for they making loves with their mouth, their heart went after their plunder.

⁹ Hear now this, ye heads of the house of Jacob, and judges of the house of Israel abhorring judgment, and they will pervert all uprightness. ¹⁰ Building Zion with bloods and Jerusalem with iniquity. ¹¹ Her heads will judge for a gift, and her priests will teach for hire, and her prophets will divine for silver: and they will lean upon Jehovah, saying, Is not Jehovah in the midst of us? he will not bring evil upon us. ¹² For this, on account of you Zion shall be ploughed a field, and Jerusalem shall be ruins, and the mountain of the house for the heights of the forest.

⁶ The law of truth was in his mouth, and iniquity was not found in his lips: in truth and in uprightness he went with me, and he turned back many from iniquity.

⁹ And also I set you despised and low to all the people, according as ye watch not my way, and lift up the face against the law.

¹¹ How do ye not understand that I spake not to you concerning bread, to keep from the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees? ¹² Then understood they that he spake, not to keep from the leaven of bread, but from the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.

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.

²⁶ And likewise the second, and third, even till the seven.

¹⁸ And he said, Retire ye into the city, to a certain person, and say to him, The teacher says, My time is near; with thee do I the pascha with my disciples.

⁴⁹ And quickly having come to Jesus, he said, Hail, Rabbi! and kissed him.

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.

¹⁷ And he going in the way, one running and having fallen upon his knees, asked him, Good teacher, What shall I do that I might inherit eternal life

¹⁴ And they having come, say to him, Teacher, we know that thou art true, and thou carest not for any one: for thou lookest not to the face of men, but in truth thou teachest the way of God: Is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar, or no?

⁴⁰ And Jesus having answered, said to him, Simon, I have something to say to thee. And he says, Teacher, speak.

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:

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 Jesus says to him, I am the way, and the truth, and the life: no one comes to the Father, except by me.

³⁷ Then said Pilate to him, Art thou not then king? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am king. For this was I born, and for this came I into the world, that I testify to the truth. Every one being of the truth hears my voice.

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.

² But have renounced the hidden things of shame, not walking in craft, neither adulterating the word of God; but by manifestation of the truth recommending ourselves to every consciousness of man before God.

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:

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:

¹⁷ And the wisdom from above is truly first pure, then peaceful, decorous, docile, full of mercy and good fruits, not separated, and unfeigned.

²⁰ And we know that the Son of God has come, and has given us understanding, and we know him true, and we are in him true, in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.

¹⁴ When thou shalt come to the land which Jehovah thy God gave to thee, and shall possess it and shall dwell in it, and thou saidst, I will set over me a king according to all the nations which are round about me; ¹⁵ Setting, thou shalt set over thee a king whom Jehovah thy God shall choose in him: from the midst of thy brethren thou shalt set over thee a king: thou shalt not be able to set over thee a foreigner who is not of thy brethren.

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.

²⁴ And making known to you that all the priests and Levites, the players, the porters, the Nethinims, and those serving this house of God, tribute, excise and toll, not being permitted to be lifted up upon them.

⁴ And there are those saying, We borrowed silver for the king's tribute, our fields and our vineyards.

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 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.

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?

¹ And it was in those days an order came out from Caesar Angustus, for the whole habitable globe to be enrolled.

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

¹² From this Pilate sought to loose him: and the Jews cried out, saying, If thou loose this, thou art not Caesar's friend: every one making himself a king speaks against Caesar. ¹³ Then Pilate having heard, brought Jesus without, and sat upon the judgment seat, in a place called Paved with ornamental stones; in Hebraic, Gabbatha. ¹⁴ And it was the preparation of the pascha, and about the sixth hour: and he says to the Jews, Behold your King! ¹⁵ And they cried, Take away, take away, crucify him. Pilate says to them, Shall I crucify your King? The chief priests answered, We have no king but Caesar.

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.

⁷ Which Jason has received: and these all do opposite to Caesar's enactments, saying, There is another king, Jesus.

⁸ He justifying himself, That neither against the law of the Jews, nor against the temple, nor against Caesar have I sinned any thing.

²² And we desire to hear from thee what thou thinkest: for truly of this sect it is known to us that it is everywhere spoken against.

⁶ For this also pay ye taxes: for they are workmen of God, persevering in this same. ⁷ Therefore restore debts to all; to whom tribute, tribute; to whom recompense, recompense; to whom fear, fear; to whom honour, honour.

¹ And the Pharisees and Sadducees having come, tempting, asked him to shew them a sign from heaven. ² And he having answered, said to them, It being evening, ye say, Calm weather: for the heaven is fiery red. ³ And in the morning, Today, wintry weather: for heaven, being sad, is fiery red. Hypocrites, truly ye know to decide the face of heaven, but the signs of the times ye cannot. ⁴ An evil and adulterous generation seeks for a sign; and no sign shall be given her, except the sign of Jonas the prophet. And having left them, he departed.

³ And the Pharisees came to him, tempting him, and saying to him, Is it lawful for a man to loose his wife for every cause

⁸ And Jesus quickly having known that they discuss in themselves, says to them, Why discuss ye these things in your hearts

⁵ And again he sent another; and him they killed, and many others; truly stripping some, and killing some.

²² And Jesus having known their reflections, having answered, said to them, What do ye reason with yourselves in your hearts?

⁴⁷ And Jesus, having seen the reflection of their heart, having taken up a child, set it by himself,

²⁵ And, behold, a certain skilled in the law stood up, tempting him, and saying, Teacher, what having done shall I inherit eternal life

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

²⁵ For also he had no need that any should testify concerning man: for he knew what was in man.

⁶ And this said they, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. And Jesus, having stooped down, wrote with his fingers upon the earth.

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.

²⁸ But that servant having come, found one of his fellow-servants who owed him one hundred drachmas, and having seized, he choked him, saying, Give back to me what thou owest.

² And having agreed for a drachma a day, he sent them to his vineyard.

⁶ And I heard a voice in the midst of the four living creatures saying, A measure of wheat for a drachma, and three measures of barley for a drachma; and thou shouldest not injure the oil and the wine.

²⁴ Show me drachma. Whose image and inscription has it? And having answered they said, Caesar's.

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

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:

¹⁰ And Daniel as soon as he knew that the writing was signed, went up into his house; and the windows being opened to him in his upper chambers before Jerusalem, three times in the day he kneeled upon his knees, and praying and praising before his God, for the cause that he did from before this ¹¹ Then these men ran together with tumult and found Daniel seeking and making supplication before his God.

²⁰ And in his drawing near to the den he cried to Daniel with a strong voice, the king answered and said to Daniel, O Daniel, servant of the living God, thy God whom thou servest to him continually, is he able to set thee free from the lion's den? ²¹ Then Daniel said to the king, O king, live forever. ²² My God sent his messenger and shut the mouth of the lions, and they hurt me not, for the cause that innocence was found to me; and also before thee, O king, I did no hurt. ²³ At that time the king rejoiced greatly for him, and to Daniel he said to be taken up from the den. And Daniel was taken up from the den, and any hurt was not found upon him, for he trusted in his God.

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? ⁷ Bringing polluted bread upon mine altar; and ye said, In what did we pollute thee? In your saying, The table of Jehovah it was despised. ⁸ And if ye shall bring near the blind for a sacrifice, is it not evil? and if ye shall bring near the lame and the sick, is it not evil? bring A near now to thy governor; will he delight in thee, or lift up thy face? said Jehovah of armies.

⁸ Will man defraud God? For ye defraud me. And ye said, In what did we defraud thee? The tenths and the offerings. ⁹ Ye are cursed with a curse: and ye defrauded me, the nation all of it ¹⁰ Bring ye all the tenths to the house of treasure, and food shall be in my house, and try me now in this, said Jehovah of armies, if I will not open to you the lattices of the heavens, and empty out to you a blessing, even is it not a sufficiency.

¹⁰ Then says Jesus to him, Retire, Satan; for it has been written, The Lord thy God shalt thou worship, and him alone shalt thou serve.

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.

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.

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.

¹⁹ And Peter and John having answered to them, said, If it is just before God to hear you rather than God, judge ye.

²⁹ And Peter having answered, and the sent, said, We must obey God rather than men.

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

¹³ Be subjected to every creation proceeding from man on account of the Lord: whether to the king, as having superiority; ¹⁴ Or to chiefs, as sent by him for the punishing of them doing evil, and the praise of them doing good. ¹⁵ (For so is the will of God, those doing good to silence the want of knowledge of the foolish men:) ¹⁶ As free, and as not having liberty for a covering of wickedness, but as the servants of God. ¹⁷ Honour all. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honour the king.

⁴ Thou shalt not answer the foolish according to his folly lest thou shalt be like to him. ⁵ Answer the foolish according to his folly lest he shall be wise in his own eyes.

¹⁶ Behold I send you as sheep in the midst of wolves; be ye therefore discerning as serpents, and pure as doves.

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.

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.

¹⁵ For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all they opposed to you shall not be able to contradict nor withstand.

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

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

⁷ And seeing many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to his immersion, he said to them, O generation of vipers, who has indicated to you to flee from the wrath about to come?

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

¹⁸ And the Sadducees come to him, who say there is no rising up; and they asked him, saying, ¹⁹ Teacher, Moses wrote to us, That if any one's brother die, and leave his wife, and leave no children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed to his brother. ²⁰ There were seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and dying left no seed. ²¹ And the second took her, and died, and neither left he seed: and the third likewise. ²² And the seven took her, and left no seed: and the woman died last of all. ²³ Therefore in the rising up, when they should rise, to which of them shall the woman be? for the seven had her a wife. ²⁴ And Jesus having answered, said to them, For this do ye not go astray, not knowing the writings, nor the power of God? ²⁵ For when they arise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the messengers which in the heavens. 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 ²⁷ He is not God of the dead, but God of the living; ye therefore go astray greatly.

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,

¹⁷ And the chief priest having risen, and all they with him, (the sect being of the Sadducees,) they were filled with zeal,

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.

¹² And if Christ is proclaimed that he arose from the dead, how say some among you that there is no rising up of the dead? 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.

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.

¹¹ And Judah will say to Tamar his daughter-in-law, Sit a widow in thy father's house, till Shelah my son shall be great; (for he said, Lest this also shall die as his brethren.) And Tamar will go and will sit in her father's house.

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?

²¹ Not every one saying to me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of the heavens; but he doing the will of my Father who is in the heavens.

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.

³⁶ Teacher, which the great command in the law?

¹⁹ Teacher, Moses wrote to us, That if any one's brother die, and leave his wife, and leave no children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed to his brother.

⁴⁶ And why call ye me Lord, Lord, and do not what I say?

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.

¹⁹ Teacher, Moses wrote to us, That if any one's brother die, and leave his wife, and leave no children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed to his brother. ²⁰ There were seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and dying left no seed. ²¹ And the second took her, and died, and neither left he seed: and the third likewise. ²² And the seven took her, and left no seed: and the woman died last of all. ²³ Therefore in the rising up, when they should rise, to which of them shall the woman be? for the seven had her a wife.

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.

²⁷ And inasmuch as it is reserved to men once to die, and after this the judgment:

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.

⁹ For this my heart rejoiced, and my glory shall exult: also my flesh shall dwell with confidence. ¹⁰ For thou wilt not leave my soul to hades; thou wilt not give thy merciful ones to see corruption. ¹¹ Thou wilt cause me to know the way of life: abundance of joys with thy face; favors in thy right hand forever.

¹⁵ I in justice shall see thy face: I shall be satisfied in awaking with thine appearance.

¹⁴ As sheep they were laid in hades; death shall rule over them, and the upright shall come down upon them in the morning; and their rock for falling away in hades from a dwelling to him. ¹⁵ But God will redeem my soul from the hand of hades, for he will receive me. Silence.

²⁵ Who to me in the heavens? and from thee I desired nothing in the earth. ²⁶ My flesh failed and my heart: the rock of my heart and my portion is God forever.

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.

¹ The just one perished and none put upon the heart: men of kindness being taken away, for none understanding that the just one was taken away from the face of evil ² He shall come into peace: they shall rest upon their beds, he went in his justice.

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.

² And many sleeping in the earth of dust shall awake, these to eternal life, and these to reproach and eternal abhorrence. ³ And those understanding shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and those justifying many, as the stars forever and ever.

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.

³⁷ For nothing shall be impossible with God.

⁴⁴ And he said to them, These the words which I spake to you, being yet with you, for all things must be completed, written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the Psalms, concerning me. ⁴⁵ Then opened he their understanding, to understand the writings,

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

⁸ Why is it judged incredible by you, if God raise the dead?

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.

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.

²⁰ Praise Jehovah, ye his messengers mighty of strength, doing his word, to hear the voice of his word.

⁷ Thus said Jehovah of armies: If thou wilt go in my way, and if thou shalt watch my watches, and thou also shalt judge my house, and also thou shalt watch my enclosure, and I gave to thee the goings between these standing by.

⁴³ Then shall the just emit a brilliant light as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He having ears to hear, let him hear.

¹⁰ See that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I say to you, That their messengers in the heavens always behold the face of my Father which is in the heavens.

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,

²⁴ And Jesus having answered, said to them, For this do ye not go astray, not knowing the writings, nor the power of God? ²⁵ For when they arise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the messengers which in the heavens.

²⁷ They ate, they drank, they married, they were given in marriage, till the day which Noe came into the ark, and the overflow came, and destroyed all.

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.

²⁸ Wonder not at this: for the hour comes, in which all they in the tombs shall hear his voice, and shall go forth; ²⁹ They having done good, to rising up of life; and they having done bad, to rising up of judgment.

²⁹ And this I say, brethren, the time is restricted; as to the rest, that they also having wives should be as not having; ³⁰ And they weeping, as not weeping; and they rejoicing, as not rejoicing; and they buying, as not possessing. ³¹ And they using this world, as not using; for the form of this world passes away.

¹ See ye, what kind of love the Father has given us, that we should be called the children of God: for this the world knows us not, for it knew him not. 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.

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;

¹⁰ And I fell before his feet to worship him. And he says to me, See, not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren having the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

¹⁵ And God will yet say to Moses, Thou shalt say to the sons of Israel, Jehovah the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaak and the God of Jacob, sent me to you: this my name for eternity, and this my remembrance to generation and generation. 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

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.

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.

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.

²⁸ And it was when Jesus finished these words, the crowds were struck with amazement at his teaching: ²⁹ For he was teaching them as having power, and not as the scribes.

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

² And sabbath having come, he began to teach in the synagogue: and many hearing were struck with amazement, saying, Whence to this one these things? and what this wisdom given to him, that such powers are done by his hands?

¹⁷ And Jesus having answered, said to them, Give back Caesar's things to Caesar, and the things of God to God. And they wondered at him.

⁴⁷ And all hearing him were affected in mind at his understanding and answers.

²² And all bore him testimony and wondered at the words of grace going out of his mouth: and said, Is not this the son of Joseph

⁴⁶ And the servants answered, Never spake man as this man.

⁵ The isles saw, and they will be afraid; the extremities of the earth will tremble; they drew near and they will come. ⁶ They will help a man his neighbor, and he will say to his brother, Be strong. ⁷ And the artificer will strengthen the founder, he making smooth with the hammer, he beating the anvil, saying, It is good for the welding; he will strengthen it with nails; it shall not totter.

¹⁴ And the Pharisees took counsel against him, having gone out, that they might kill him.

³ Those foolish having taken their lanterns, took no oil with them. ⁴ And the discerning took oil in their vessels with their lanterns. ⁵ And the bridegroom delaying, they all slumbered and slept.

²⁸ And one of the scribes having come, having heard them seeking out together, knowing that he answered them well, asked him, Which is the first command of all? ²⁹ And Jesus answered him, That the first of all the commands, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord: 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. ³¹ And the second like it, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. No other command is greater than these.

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.

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.

²³ And in that time was there no little trouble about the way. ²⁴ For a certain Demetrius by name, a silversmith, making the silver temples of Diana, furnished no little work to artificers; ²⁵ Whom having collected together and the workmen of such things, he said, Men, ye know that out of this work is our good food. ²⁶ And ye see and hear that not only Ephesus, but almost all Asia, this Paul having persuaded, changed a sufficient crowd, saying, that they are not gods made by hands: ²⁷ And not only this part is in danger to us to come to reproach; but also the temple of the great goddess Diana to be reckoned for nothing, and her greatness also about to be destroyed, whom the whole of Asia and the habitable globe worship. ²⁸ And having heard, and been filled with wrath, they cried, saying, Great the Diana of the Ephesians.

²⁸ Crying out, Men, Israelites, help: This is the man, teaching all, everywhere, against the people, and the law, and this place: and yet also brought the Greeks into the temple, and has polluted this holy place. ²⁹ (For they had seen before with him in the city Trophimus the Ephesian' whom they thought that Paul had brought into the temple.) ³⁰ And the whole city was moved, and there was a concourse of the people: and having taken up Paul, they drew him out of the temple: and quickly the doors were shut.

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.

³⁰ And the Pharisees, and they pertaining to the law, rejected the counsel of God against themselves, not immersed by him.

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. ²⁹ And he, wishing to justify himself, said to Jesus, And who is my neighbor ³⁰ And Jesus having replied said, A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among robbers : and having stripped him, and laid on blows, they departed, leaving him half dead. ³¹ And by accident a certain priest went down in that way : and having seen him, went on the opposite side. ³² And likewise also a Levite, having been in the place, having come and seen him, went on the opposite side. ³³ And a certain Samaritan, travelling, came to him : and having seen him, felt compassion. ³⁴ And having come near, he bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and having mounted him upon his own animal, he brought him to an inn, and took care of him. ³⁵ And upon the morrow, he having come forth, taking out two drachmas, he gave to the inn-keeper, and said to him, Take care, of him; and whatever thou spendest besides, I, in my coming back, will repay thee. 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.

⁴⁵ And a certain of the skilled in the law having answered, said, Teacher, speaking these things, and thou injurest us. ⁴⁶ And he said, And woe to you, skilled in the law! for ye load men with loads difficult to carry, and ye yourselves touch not one of the fingers to the load.

⁵² Woe to you, skilled in the law! for ye have taken away the key of knowledge: ye came not in yourselves, and those coming in ye hindered.

³ And Jesus having answered, said to those skilled in the law and the Pharisees, saying, Is it lawful to cure in the sabbath?

¹³ Send forward zealously Zenas pertaining to the law, and Apollos, that nothing fail them.

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

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. ²⁰ For I say to you, That except your justice abound more than the scribes and Pharisees, ye should not come into the kingdom of the heavens.

⁶ And should not honour his father or his mother. And ye have annulled the command of God by your tradition.

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. ²⁴ Blind guides, straining a gnat, and swallowing down a camel.

²⁸ And one of the scribes having come, having heard them seeking out together, knowing that he answered them well, asked him, Which is the first command of all? ²⁹ And Jesus answered him, That the first of all the commands, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord: 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. ³¹ And the second like it, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. No other command is greater than these. 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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

⁷ Wherefore the thought of the flesh enmity to God: for it is not subject to the law of God, for it cannot be.

¹⁶ This the covenant which I will establish with them after those days, says the Lord, giving my laws upon their heart, and upon their minds will I write them; ¹⁷ And their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.

² In this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commands. ³ For this is the love of God, that we keep his commands: and his commands are not heavy. ⁴ For everything begotten of God conquers the world: and this is the victory having conquered the world, our faith. ⁵ Who is he conquering the world, if not he believing that Jesus is the Son of God?

¹⁸ Thou shalt not avenge thyself nor keep anger with the sons of thy people, and didst love thy neighbor as thyself. I Jehovah. ¹⁹ Honour thy father and mother; and, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.

³¹ And the second like it, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. No other command is greater than these.

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

² For let each of us please the neighbor for good to the building.

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

¹⁰ Wherefore then as we have time, let us work good to all, and chiefly to them of the household of faith.

⁸ If yet ye complete the royal law according to the writing, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself, ye do well:

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.

¹⁷ For the law was given by Moses; grace and truth were by Jesus Christ.

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. ²¹ But now without law the justice of God has been made apparent, being testified by the law and by the prophets;

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.

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

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. 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. ¹⁰ In this is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son a propitiation for our sins. ¹¹ Dearly beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.

¹⁹ We should love him, for he first loved us. ²⁰ If any say, I love God, and hate his brother, he is a liar: for he not loving his brother whom he has seen, God whom he has not seen, how can he love? ²¹ And this command have we from him, That he loving God love his brother also.

¹⁵ Then the Pharisees, having gone, took counsel how they might ensnare him in word.

³⁴ And the Pharisees having heard that he muzzled the Sadducees, were gathered upon the same.

³⁵ And Jesus having answered, said, teaching in the temple, How say the scribes that Christ is the son of David ³⁶ For David himself said in the Holy Spirit, The Lord said to my Lord, Sit from my right hand, till I set thine enemies the footstool of thy feet. ³⁷ Therefore David himself calls him Lord; and whence is he his son? And a great crowd heard him willingly.

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?

¹³ And he will say, Hear ye now, house of David; is it small for you to weary men, but will ye weary God also ¹⁴ For this, Jehovah he will give to you a sign Behold, the virgin conceiving, and she will bare a son, and call his name Immanuel.

⁶ For a child was born to us, a son was given to us, and the dominion shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called, Wonderful, Counsellor, Mighty God, everlasting Father, Captain of Peace. ⁷ To the increase of his dominion and to peace no end, upon the throne of David and upon his kingdom to prepare it and to support it in judgment and in justice from now and even to forever: the zeal of Jehovah of armies will do this.

¹ And a rod shall come forth from the stock of Jesse, and a sprout shall blossom from his roots: ² And the spirit of Jehovah resting upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and strength, the spirit of knowledge and the fear of Jehovah: ³ His sweet odor in the fear of Jehovah: and not according to the seeing of his eyes shall he judge, and not according to the hearing of his ears shall he decide. ⁴ And he judged the powerless with justice, and he decided in straightness for the humble of the earth: and he struck the earth with the rod of his mouth, and by the spirit of his lips he will slay the unjust.

⁵ Behold the days coming, says Jehovah, and I raised up to David a just sprout, and a king reigned and prospered, and he did judgment and justice in the earth. ⁶ In his days shall Judah be saved, and Israel shall dwell with confidence: and this his name which he shall be called: Jehovah Our Justice.

²³ And I raised up one shepherd over them, and he fed them, my servant David; he shall feed them and he shall be to them for shepherd. ²⁴ I Jehovah will be to them for God, and my servant David a prince in the midst of them; I Jehovah spake.

¹¹ In that day I will raise up the tent of David having fallen, and I walled in their breaches, and I will raise up its destructions, and I built it as the days of old:

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

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.

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

³³ And they in the ship, having come, worshipped him, saying, Thou art truly the Son of God.

¹³ And Jesus, having come into the parts of Caesarea of Philippi, asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say me to be, the Son of Man? ¹⁴ And they said, Some, truly, John the Baptist: and others, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets. ¹⁵ And he says to them, But whom say ye me to be? ¹⁶ And Simon Peter having answered, said, Thou art Christ, the Son of the living God. 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.

⁹ And the crowds leading before, and following, cried, saying, Osanna to the son of David: he coming in the name of the Lord being praised; Osanna in the highest ones.

⁶⁹ And he raised up a horn of salvation to us in the house of David, his servant; ⁷⁰ As he spake by the mouth of his holy prophets, from forever:

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

⁶⁸ Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go away? thou hast the words of eternal life. ⁶⁹ And we have believed, and known, that thou art Christ, Son of the living God.

⁴¹ Others said, This is Christ: and others said, Yet Christ comes not out of Galilee. ⁴² Said not the writing, That of the seed of David, and from Bethlehem, the town where David was, Christ comes?

²⁸ And Thomas answered and said to him, My Lord and my God.

²² And having removed him, he raised up to them David for king; to whom also having testified, he said, I found David of Jesse, a man according to my heart, who shall do all my desires. ²³ From the seed of this has God according to promise raised up to Israel a Saviour, Jesus:

⁹ Wherefore God has also exceedingly exalted him, and favored him as a gift with a name above every name: ¹⁰ That in the name of Jesus every knee should bend, of the heavenlies, and of terrestrial things, and things under earth ¹¹ And every tongue should avow that the Lord is Jesus Christ, to the glory of the Father.

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, ⁹ And be found in him, not having my justice, that of the law, but that by faith of Christ, the justice from God by faith: ¹⁰ To know him, and the power of his rising up, and the mutual participation of his sufferings, being rendered conformable to his death; ¹¹ Where no Greek and Jew, circumcision and uncircumcision, foreigner, Scythian, servant, free: but Christ all things, and in all.

⁴ To whom approaching, a living stone, truly disapproved of by men, and chosen by God, highly valued, ⁵ And ye yourselves are built, as living stones, a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to bring up spiritual sacrifice; acceptable to God by Jesus Christ. ⁶ Wherefore also it holds in the writing, Behold, I place in Zion a corner stone, chosen, highly valued: and he believing on him shall not be ashamed. ⁷ Therefore honour to you believing: and to the unbelieving, the stone which the builders disapproved of has become the head of the corner,

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. ¹⁴ And the four living creatures said, Amen. And the twentyfour elders fell and worshipped him living for the times of times.

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

³⁶ For David himself said in the Holy Spirit, The Lord said to my Lord, Sit from my right hand, till I set thine enemies the footstool of thy feet.

²⁶ And it was intimated to him by the Holy Spirit, not to see death, before he should see the Christ of the Lord. ²⁷ And he came in the Spirit to the temple : and in the parents bringing in the child Jesus, for them to do according to the custom of the law for him,

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.

³⁰ Therefore being a prophet, and knowing that God swore with an oath to him, of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, to raise up Christ to sit upon his throne: ³¹ Foreknowing, he spake of the rising up of Christ, that his soul was not left in hades, neither did his flesh see corruption.

⁷ Wherefore (as the Holy Spirit says, If to day ye hear his voice,

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

¹⁰ I was in the Spirit In the day pertaining to the Lord, and I heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet, saying,

² And instantly I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sitting upon the throne.

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.

⁸ Ask of me and I will give the nations thine inheritance, and thy possession the extremities of the earth. ⁹ Thou shalt rule them with a rod of iron; as a potter's vessel shalt thou break them in pieces. kings, and be instructed, ye judging the land.

⁹ Thou wilt set them as a furnace of fire for the time of thy face: Jehovah in his anger will swallow them down, and the fire shall devour them.

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

¹ Who this coming from Edom, splendid with garments from Bozra? this adorned in his attire, bowing himself in his strength? I, speaking in justice, great for salvation. ² Wherefore red to thine attire, and thy garments as he treading in the wine press? ³ I trod the wine-press alone; and from the people not a man with me: and I will tread them down in my wrath, and I will trample them in mine anger, and their juice shall be sprinkled upon my garment, and I will stain all my vestment ⁴ For the day of vengeance is in my heart, and the year of my redemption came. ⁵ And I shall look, and none helping; and I shall be astonished and none upholding: and my arm will save for me, and my wrath it upheld me. ⁶ And I:will tread down peoples in mine anger; and I will make them drunk in my wrath, and I will bring down their juice to the earth.

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.

² To the church of God being in Corinth, to the consecrated in Christ Jesus, to the Called holy ones, with all calling upon the name of our Lord Jesus Christ in every place, both theirs and ours:

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

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,

³ Who being the brightness of glory, and the figure of his foundation, and bearing all things by the word of his power, having made by himself the purification of our sins, he sat down on the right hand of the Majesty among the highest ones;

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?

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.

² Looking in the distance to Jesus the author and completer of the faith; who for the joy laid before him endured the cross, having despised the shame, and sat down on the right hand of the throne of God.

¹⁹ And I saw the wild beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to war with him sitting upon the horse, and with his army.

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. ¹² And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is of life: and the dead were judged from the things written in the books, according to their works. ¹³ And the sea gave the dead in it; and death and hades gave the dead in them: and they were judged each one according to their works. ¹⁴ And death and hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. ¹⁵ And if any was not found written in the book of life, he was cast into the lake of fire.

⁵⁸ And Jesus said to them, Truly, truly, I say to you, Before Abraham was born, I am.

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.

⁶ Who, being in the form of God, thought not robbery to be equal to God ⁷ But emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, born in the likeness of men: ⁸ And found in fashion as man, he humbled himself, being obedient until death, and the death of the cross.

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.

¹⁴ Since therefore the young children participated in flesh and blood, he also likewise participated with them; that by death he might leave unemployed him having the strength of death, that is, the devil;

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.

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:)

² Wherefore, I came, and no man? I called and none answered. Being short, was my hand shortened from redeeming? and if not power in me to deliver behold, in my rebuke I will dry up the sea; I will set the rivers a desert: their fish shall stink from no water, and they shall die with thirst ³ I will put darkness upon the heavens, and I will put sackcloth their covering. 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 ⁵ The Lord Jehovah opened to me the ear and I opposed not, and I drew not back. ⁶ My back I gave to those smiting, and my cheeks to those tearing out the hair: and my face I hid not from shame and spittle. 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.

²⁷ And having answered Jesus, they said, We know not. And he said to them, Neither do I say to you by what authority I do these.

³⁴ And Jesus having seen him that he answered understandingly, said to him, Thou art not far from the kingdom of God. And none dared to ask him any more.

¹⁷ And he saying these things, all opposed to him were ashamed: and the crowd rejoiced for all the glorious things done by him.

⁶ And they were not able to answer him in turn to these things.

⁴⁰ And they dared no more to ask him anything.

⁷ And when they continued asking him, having lifted up the head, he said to them, Let him faultless among you, first cast a stone at her. ⁸ And again having stooped down, he wrote upon the earth. ⁹ And they having heard, and being convicted by consciousness, went out one by one, beginning from the eldest even to the last; and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.

¹⁴ And seeing the man healed standing with them, they had nothing to contradict.
