Could you not watch with Me one hour? ⁴¹ Watch and pray that you enter not into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak. ⁴² He went away again the second time and prayed, saying, My Father, if this cup may not pass away from Me unless I drink it, Your will be done. ⁴³ And He came and found them asleep again, for their eyes were heavy. ⁴⁴ And He left them and went away again, and prayed the third time, saying the same word. ⁴⁵ Then He came to His disciples and said to them, Sleep on now and take your rest.

⁹ And now I am their song; yea, I am their byword. ¹⁰ They despise me, and they flee far from me; they do not spare spit from my face. ¹¹ Because He has loosed His bowstring and afflicted me, they have also thrown off the bridle before me.

¹ Blessed is the man who has not walked in the counsel of the ungodly, and has not stood in the way of sinners, and has not sat in the seat of the scornful.

¹ Why do the nations rage, and the peoples meditate on a vain thing? ² The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers plot together, against Jehovah and against His anointed, saying,

² The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers plot together, against Jehovah and against His anointed, saying,

⁶ Yea, I have set My king on My holy hill, on Zion. ⁷ I will declare the decree of Jehovah. He has said to Me, You are My Son; today I have begotten You.

⁷ You have put gladness in my heart, more than in the time that their grain and their wine increased.

⁵ My steps have been held in Your paths, so that my footsteps have not slipped.

¹ To the Chief Musician, on the deer of the dawn. A Psalm of David. My God, my God, why have You forsaken me, and are far from my deliverance, and from the words of my groaning? ² O my God, I cry in the daytime, but You do not answer; and in the night, and am not silent.

² O my God, I cry in the daytime, but You do not answer; and in the night, and am not silent. ³ But You are holy, enthroned on the praises of Israel. ⁴ Our fathers trusted in You; they trusted, and You delivered them. ⁵ They cried to You, and were delivered; they trusted in You, and were not ashamed. ⁶ But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised by the people.

⁶ But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised by the people. ⁷ All who see Me mock me; they shoot out the lip; they shake the head, saying,

⁷ All who see Me mock me; they shoot out the lip; they shake the head, saying, ⁸ He trusted on Jehovah; let Him deliver Him; let Him rescue Him, since He delights in Him! ⁹ For You are He who took Me out of the womb, causing Me to trust while on My mother's breasts. ¹⁰ I was cast on You from the womb; You are My God from My mother's belly. ¹¹ Be not far from Me; for trouble is near, for there is none to help. ¹² Many bulls have circled around Me; strong bulls Of Bashan have surrounded Me. ¹³ They opened wide their mouths on Me, like a ripping and a roaring lion. ¹⁴ I am poured out like water, and all My bones are spread apart; My heart is like wax; it is melted in the midst of My bowels. ¹⁵ My strength is dried up like a potsherd, and My tongue clings to My jaws; ¹⁶ and You have brought Me into the dust of death. For dogs have circled around Me; the band of spoilers have hemmed Me in, piercers of My hands and My feet. ¹⁷ I can count all My bones; they look and stare at Me. ¹⁸ They divide My garments among them and cast lots for My clothing. ¹⁹ But You, O Jehovah, be not far from Me; O My strength, hurry to help Me! ²⁰ Deliver My soul from the sword, My only one from the dog's hand. ²¹ Save Me from the lion's mouth; from the wild oxen's horns. You have answered Me. ²² I will declare Your name to My brothers; in the midst of the congregation I will praise You. ²³ You who fear Jehovah, praise Him; all of you, the seed of Jacob, glorify Him; and fear Him all the seed of Israel. ²⁴ For He has not despised nor hated the affliction of the afflicted; and He has not hidden His face from him, but when he cried to Him, He heard. ²⁵ My praise shall be of You in the great congregation; I will pay My vows before the ones who fear Him. ²⁶ The meek shall eat and be satisfied; those who seek Jehovah shall praise Him; your heart shall live forever. ²⁷ All the ends of the world shall remember and turn to Jehovah; and all the families of the nations shall worship before You. ²⁸ For the kingdom is Jehovah's; and He is the ruler among the nations. ²⁹ All the fat ones on the earth shall eat and worship; all those who go down to the dust shall bow before Him; and none can keep alive his own soul. ³⁰ A seed shall serve Him; it shall be spoken of Jehovah to the coming generation. ³¹ They shall come, and shall declare His righteousness to a people that shall yet be born, that He has done this.

¹² Deliver me not over to the will of my enemies; for false witnesses have risen up against me, and he that breathes out cruelty.

³ Draw me not away with the wicked, and with the workers of iniquity, who speak peace to their neighbors, yet evil is in their hearts.

¹¹ Cruel witnesses rose up; they asked of me that which I never knew.

¹¹ Cruel witnesses rose up; they asked of me that which I never knew. ¹² They rewarded me evil for good; bereaving my soul.

¹¹ My lovers and my friends stand apart from my plague; and my neighbors stand far off. ¹² And those who seek my life lay snares for me; and those who seek my hurt speak sly things, and utter deceits all the day long. ¹³ But like a deaf one, I do not hear; and I am like a dumb one who opens not his mouth. ¹⁴ And I am as a man who hears not, and in whose mouth are no reproofs.

³ And He has put a new song in my mouth, praise to our God; many shall see it and fear, and shall trust in Jehovah.

⁹ Even a man, my friend, in whom I trusted, who ate of my bread, has lifted up his heel against me.

¹² For it is not an enemy who reviled me; then I could have borne it; it is not one who hates me who magnified himself against me; or I would hide myself from him; ¹³ but it is you, a man my rank, my guide and my friend. ¹⁴ We took sweet counsel together, and walked to the house of God in company. ¹⁵ Let desolation take hold on them, and let them go down alive into hell; for evils are among them in their dwellings.

²⁰ He has put forth his hands against those who were at peace with him; he has broken his covenant. ²¹ The butterings of his mouth were forked, but war was in his heart; his words were softer than oil, yet they were drawn swords.

²³ But You, O God, will bring them down into the pit of ruin; bloody and deceitful men shall not live half their days; but I will trust in You.

⁵ All day long they pervert my words; all their thoughts are against me for evil. ⁶ They stir up strife; they hide themselves; they watch my steps as they wait for my soul.

⁶ They stir up strife; they hide themselves; they watch my steps as they wait for my soul.

⁴ so that they may shoot at the blameless one from a lurking place; suddenly they shoot at him, and fear not. ⁵ They encourage themselves in an evil plan; they talk of laying snares secretly; they say, Who shall see them? ⁶ They search out injustice, saying, We have finished hiding a hidden plot. Yea, the inward part of man and the heart are deep.

¹⁴ O Jehovah, why do You cast off my soul? Why do You hide Your face from me? ¹⁵ I am afflicted and ready to die from my youth up; while I suffer Your terrors, I pine away. ¹⁶ Your fierce wrath goes over me; Your terrors have cut me off.

¹⁸ You have taken lover and friend far from me, and those who know me into darkness.

²⁰ Shall the throne of iniquity have fellowship with You, which frames mischief by a law? ²¹ They gather themselves against the soul of the righteous, and condemn the innocent blood.

¹⁴ Blessed is the man dreading God, but he who hardens his heart shall fall into mischief.

²⁵ He who is of a proud heart stirs up fighting; but he who puts his trust in Jehovah shall be made fat. ²⁶ He who trusts in his own heart is a fool; but whoever walks wisely, he shall be delivered.

²³ A man's pride shall bring him low; but honor shall uphold the humble in spirit. ²⁴ He who shares with a thief hates his own soul; he hears an oath and does not tell. ²⁵ The fear of man brings a snare, but whoever puts his trust in Jehovah shall be safe.

²⁰ Such is the way of an adulterous woman; she eats, and wipes her mouth, and says, I have done no evil.

⁴ Again, I considered all labor, and every right work, that for this a man is envied by his neighbor. This is also vanity and vexation of spirit.

⁸ Let your garments be always white; and let your head lack no ointment.

¹ As dead flies cause the perfumer's ointment to stink and ferment; so a little folly is more rare than wisdom and than honor.

⁹ Rejoice, in your youth, young man; and let your heart cheer you in the days of your youth, and walk in the ways of your heart, and in the sight of your eyes; but know that for all these things God will bring you into judgment.

³ For Your ointments have a lovely fragrance; Your name is as oil poured out; therefore the virgins love You.

The zeal of Jehovah of Hosts will do this.

⁹ They shall not drink wine with a song; strong drink shall be bitter to those who drink it. ¹⁰ The city of shame is broken down; every house is shut up so that no one may come in. ¹¹ A crying for wine is in the streets; all joy is darkened, the gladness in the land has gone.

⁶ And in this mountain Jehovah of Hosts shall make a feast of fat things for all the people, a feast of wine on the lees, of fat things full of marrow, of refined wine on the lees.

⁸ Yea, in the way of Your judgments, O Jehovah, we awaited You; for Your name and for Your memory is the desire of our soul. ⁹ With my soul I desired You in the night; yea, with my spirit within me I will seek You early; for when Your judgments are in the earth, the people of the world learn righteousness.

²⁶ who makes the word of His servant sure, and makes good the counsel of His messengers; who says to Jerusalem, She shall have people; and to the cities of Judah, You shall be built, and I will raise up the waste places of it;

¹ Hear this, O house of Jacob, who are called by the name of Israel, and have come out of the waters of Judah; who swear by the name of Jehovah and make mention of the God of Israel (but not in truth nor in righteousness).

⁷ So says Jehovah, the Redeemer of Israel, His Holy One, to Him whom man despises, to Him whom the nation hates, the servant of rulers: Kings shall see and arise, rulers also shall worship, because of Jehovah who is faithful, the Holy One of Israel, and He shall choose You.

⁵ The Lord Jehovah has opened My ear, and I was not rebellious, nor turned away backwards. ⁶ I gave My back to the strikers, and My cheeks to pluckers; I did not hide My face from shame and spitting.

¹⁴ Just as many were astonished at You (so much was the disfigurement from man, His appearance and His form from the sons of mankind);

¹ Who has believed our report? And to whom is the arm of Jehovah revealed? ² For He comes up before Him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground; He has no form nor majesty that we should see Him, nor an appearance that we should desire Him. ³ He is despised and rejected of men; a Man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief; and as it were a hiding of faces from Him, He being despised, and we esteemed Him not.

³ He is despised and rejected of men; a Man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief; and as it were a hiding of faces from Him, He being despised, and we esteemed Him not. ⁴ Surely He has borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows; yet we esteemed Him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. ⁵ But He was wounded for our transgressions; He was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement of our peace was on Him; and with His stripes we ourselves are healed. ⁶ All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned, each one to his own way; and Jehovah has laid on Him the iniquity of us all. ⁷ He was oppressed, and He was afflicted; yet He opened not His mouth. He is brought as a lamb to the slaughter; and as a sheep before its shearers is dumb, so He opened not His mouth.

⁷ He was oppressed, and He was afflicted; yet He opened not His mouth. He is brought as a lamb to the slaughter; and as a sheep before its shearers is dumb, so He opened not His mouth. ⁸ He was taken from prison and from judgment; and who shall declare His generation? For He was cut off out of the land of the living; for the transgression of My people He was stricken. ⁹ And He put His grave with the wicked, and with a rich one in His death; although He had done no violence, nor was any deceit in His mouth. ¹⁰ Yet it pleased Jehovah to crush Him; to grieve Him; that He should put forth His soul as a guilt-offering. He shall see His seed, He shall prolong His days, and the will of Jehovah shall prosper in His hand.

¹⁰ Yet it pleased Jehovah to crush Him; to grieve Him; that He should put forth His soul as a guilt-offering. He shall see His seed, He shall prolong His days, and the will of Jehovah shall prosper in His hand. ¹¹ He shall see the fruit of the travail of His soul. He shall be fully satisfied. By His knowledge shall My righteous Servant justify for many; and He shall bear their iniquities.

¹¹ He shall see the fruit of the travail of His soul. He shall be fully satisfied. By His knowledge shall My righteous Servant justify for many; and He shall bear their iniquities. ¹² Therefore I will divide to Him with the great, and He shall divide the spoil with the strong; because He has poured out His soul to death; and He was counted among the transgressors; and He bore the sin of many, and made intercession for transgressors.

¹ Ho, everyone who thirsts, come to the waters; and he who has no money, come, buy and eat. Yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price.

¹¹ Yea, they are greedy dogs which can never have enough; and they are shepherds who cannot understand. They all look to their own way, every one for his gain, to his own end.

⁹ And you went to the king with ointment, and increased your perfumes, and sent your messengers far off, and lowered yourself even to hell.

¹¹ And of whom have you been afraid or feared, that you have lied and have not remembered Me, nor laid it to your heart? Have I not been silent, even from forever, and you did not fear Me?

¹⁹ But I was like a docile lamb being brought to the slaughter. And I did not know that they had plotted evils against me, saying, Let us destroy the tree with its fruit, and let us cut him off from the land of the living, so that his name may be remembered no more.

⁹ The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked; who can know it?

²⁷ But if you will not listen to me to keep the Sabbath day holy, and not to carry a burden, even entering in at the gates of Jerusalem on the Sabbath day; then I will kindle a fire in its gates, and it will devour the palaces of Jerusalem, and it will not be put out.

¹⁸ Then they said, Come and let us plot schemes against Jeremiah. For the Law shall not perish from the priest, nor wisdom from the wise, nor the Word from the prophet. Come and let us strike him with the tongue, and let us not pay attention to any of his words. ¹⁹ Pay attention to me; O Jehovah, and attend to the voice of my foes. ²⁰ Should evil be repaid for good? For they have dug a pit for my soul. Remember that I stood before You to do good for them, and to turn away Your wrath from them.

² then Pashur struck Jeremiah the prophet, and put him in the stocks that were in the upper Benjamin Gate, which was by the house of Jehovah.

⁸ And it happened when Jeremiah had made an end of speaking all that Jehovah had commanded him to speak to all the people, the priests and the prophets and all the people took him, saying, You shall surely die! ⁹ Why have you prophesied in the name of Jehovah, saying, This house shall be like Shiloh, and this city shall be wasted, without inhabitant? And all the people were gathered against Jeremiah in the house of Jehovah. ¹⁰ When the rulers of Judah heard these things, then they came up from the king's house to the house of Jehovah, and sat down in the entrance of the New Gate of Jehovah's house. ¹¹ And the priests and the prophets spoke to the rulers and to all the people, saying, Let a death sentence be for this man, for he has prophesied against this city, as you have heard with your ears.

¹⁶ Then the rulers and all the people said to the priests and to the prophets, There is not a sentence of death for this man; for he has spoken to us in the name of Jehovah our God. ¹⁷ Then some of the elders of the land rose up and spoke to all the assembly of the people, saying, ¹⁸ Micah the Morasthite prophesied in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah, and spoke to all the people of Judah, saying, So says Jehovah of Hosts: Zion shall be plowed like a field, and Jerusalem shall become heaps, and the mountain of the house like the high places of a forest. ¹⁹ Did Hezekiah king of Judah and all Judah indeed put him to death? Did he not fear Jehovah, and pray to Jehovah, and Jehovah repented of the evil which He had spoken against them? So we are doing great evil against our souls.

³¹ Behold, the days come, says Jehovah, that I will cut a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah,

²⁴ Yet the king and all his servants who heard these words were not afraid, nor did they tear their garments.

¹⁹ I called for my lovers, but they deceived me; my priests and my elders expired in the city while they sought food for them to bring back their life.

³⁰ He gives his cheek to Him who strikes him; he is filled with reproach.

³⁷ Who is this who speaks, and it occurs, when the Lord does not command it?

⁴⁵ You have made us as the sweepings and garbage in the midst of the peoples.

²⁰ The breath of our nostrils, the anointed of Jehovah, was taken in their pits; of whom we said, In His shadow we shall live among the nations.

²⁸ As the bow that is in the cloud in the day of rain looks, so the brightness all around looked. This was how the likeness of the glory of Jehovah looked. And I saw. And I fell on my face, and I heard a voice of One speaking.

⁴ Then take of them again, and throw them into the middle of the fire, and burn them in the fire; for a fire shall come forth from them into all the house of Israel. ⁵ So says the Lord Jehovah: This is Jerusalem. I have set it in the middle of the nations, and all around her are the lands.

⁵ And they were scattered for lack of a shepherd. And they became food to all the beasts of the field when they were scattered. ⁶ My sheep wandered through all the mountains and on every high hill. Yea, My flock was scattered on all the face of the earth, and none searched nor sought for them.

⁵ Because you have had a never-ending hatred, and have shed the blood of the sons of Israel by the force of the sword in the time of their calamity, in the time that iniquity had an end, ⁶ therefore, as I live, says the Lord Jehovah, I will yield you up to blood, and blood shall pursue you. Since you have not hated blood, even blood shall pursue you.

¹⁶ Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego answered and said to the king, O Nebuchadnezzar, we have no need to return a word to you on this matter.

⁴ Then the presidents and rulers sought to find occasion against Daniel concerning the kingdom. But they could find no occasion or fault, because he was faithful. Neither was there any error or fault found in him. ⁵ Then these men said, We shall not find any occasion against this Daniel unless we find it against him concerning the Law of his God.

¹⁰ A stream of fire went out and came out from before Him. A thousand thousands served Him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before Him. The judgment was set, and the books were opened.

¹³ I saw in the night visions, and behold, One like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of Days, and they brought Him near before Him.

¹⁷ And now, O our God, hear the prayer of Your servant, and his holy desires, and cause Your face to shine on Your sanctuary that is desolate, for the Lord's sake. ¹⁸ O my God, bow down Your ear and hear. Open Your eyes and behold our ruins, and the city which is called by Your name. For we do not present our prayers before You on account of our righteousnesses, but because of Your great mercies. ¹⁹ O Jehovah, hear; O Jehovah, forgive; O Jehovah, listen and do. Do not delay, for Your own sake, O my God; for Your city and Your people are called by Your name.

²⁴ Seventy weeks are decreed as to your people and as to your holy city, to finish the transgression and to make an end of sins, and to make atonement for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the Most Holy.

²⁴ Seventy weeks are decreed as to your people and as to your holy city, to finish the transgression and to make an end of sins, and to make atonement for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the Most Holy. ²⁵ Know therefore and understand, that from the going out of the command to restore and to build Jerusalem, to Messiah the Prince, shall be seven weeks, and sixty-two weeks. The street shall be built again, and the wall, even in times of affliction. ²⁶ And after sixty-two weeks Messiah shall be cut off, but not for Himself. And the people of the ruler who shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary. And the end of it shall be with the flood, and ruins are determined, until the end shall be war.

²⁶ And after sixty-two weeks Messiah shall be cut off, but not for Himself. And the people of the ruler who shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary. And the end of it shall be with the flood, and ruins are determined, until the end shall be war.

⁵ saying, When will the new moon be gone so that we may sell grain? And the sabbath, that we may set forth wheat, making the ephah small and the shekel great, and perverting the balances by deceit;

⁶ And the chief of the seaman came to him and said to him, What is it to you, O sound sleeper? Arise, call upon your God! It may be that our god will notice us, and we will not perish.

¹ Now gather yourself in troops, daughter of a troop; one sets a siege against us; they shall strike the Judge of Israel with a rod on the cheek.

¹⁷ Jehovah your God is mighty in your midst; He will save, He will rejoice over you with joy; He is silent in His love; He rejoices over you with joyful shout.

² So says Jehovah of Hosts, saying: This people says, The time has not come, the time that Jehovah's house should be built. ³ Then came the Word of Jehovah by Haggai the prophet, saying, ⁴ Is it time for you yourselves to dwell in your finished houses, and shall this House lie waste?

³ And he said to me, This is the curse that goes forth over the face of the whole earth; for from now on everyone who steals shall be cut off according to it; and everyone who swears from now on shall be cut off according to it. ⁴ I will bring it forth, says Jehovah of Hosts; and it shall enter into the house of the thief, and into the house of him who swears falsely by My name. And it shall remain in the midst of his house, and shall devour it, and its timber and its stones.

¹⁷ And let each devise no evil in your heart against his neighbor; and love no false oath. For all these are things that I hate, says Jehovah.

¹¹ You also, by the blood of Your covenant I have freed Your prisoners out of the pit in which is no water.

¹⁷ For how great is its goodness and how great its beauty! Grain shall make the young men flourish, and new wine the virgins.

¹² And I said to them, If it is good, give My price; and if not, let it go. So they weighed My price thirty pieces of silver. ¹³ And Jehovah said to me, Throw it to the potter, the magnificent price at which I was valued by them. And I took the thirty pieces of silver and threw them to the potter in the house of Jehovah.

¹⁰ And I will pour on the house of David, and on the people of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of prayers. And they shall look on Me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for Him, as one mourns for his only son, and shall be bitter over Him, as the bitterness over the first-born.

⁷ Awake, O sword, against My Shepherd, and against the Man who is My companion, says Jehovah of Hosts; strike the Shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered. And I will turn My hand on the little ones.

⁷ You offer defiled bread upon My altar; and you say, In what way have we defiled You? In your saying, The table of Jehovah, it is a thing to be despised. ⁸ And if you offer the blind for sacrifice, is it not evil? And if you offer the lame and the sick, is it not evil? Bring it now to your governor. Will he accept you, or lift up your face, says Jehovah of Hosts? ⁹ And now entreat the face of God, that He favor us. This has been by your hands, will He lift up your faces, says Jehovah of Hosts? ¹⁰ Who is even among you who will shut the doors, and you not kindle fire on My altar in vain! I have no pleasure in you, says Jehovah of Hosts. I will not be pleased with an offering from you.

¹³ You also said, Behold, what a weariness it is! And you have puffed at it, says Jehovah of Hosts. And you bring plunder, and the lame, and the sick, and you bring the food offering. Should I accept it from your hand, says Jehovah?

⁵ And I will come near you to judgment. And I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers, and against the adulterers, and against false swearers, and against those who extort from the hired laborer's wages, and turning away the widow, and the orphan, the alien, and not fearing Me, says Jehovah of Hosts.

²² But when he heard that Archelaus reigned in Judea in his father Herod's place, he was afraid to go there. And being warned by God in a dream, he turned aside into the parts of Galilee. ²³ And he came and lived in a city called Nazareth, so that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophets, "He shall be called a Nazarene."

¹⁵ And answering Jesus said to him, Allow it now, for it is becoming to us to fulfill all righteousness. Then he allowed Him.

¹¹ Then the Devil left him. And behold, angels came and ministered to Him.

¹⁸ And walking by the Sea of Galilee, Jesus saw two brothers, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea. For they were fishermen.

²¹ And going on from there, he saw another two brothers, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in a boat with Zebedee their father, mending their nets. And He called them;

²² But I say to you that whoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be liable to the judgment. And whoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be liable to the sanhedrin; but whoever shall say, Fool! shall be liable to be thrown into the fire of hell.

³⁴ But I say to you, Do not swear at all! Not by Heaven, because it is God's throne; ³⁵ not by the earth, for it is the footstool of His feet; not by Jerusalem, because it is the city of the great King; ³⁶ nor shall you swear by your head, because you cannot make one hair white or black.

³⁹ But I say to you, Do not resist evil. But whoever shall strike you on your right cheek, turn the other to him also.

⁷ But when you pray, do not babble vain words, as the nations. For they think that in their much speaking they shall be heard.

¹³ And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil. For Yours is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen.

²⁸ And it happened, when Jesus had ended these sayings, that the people were astonished at His doctrine.

³ And lo, some of the scribes said within themselves, This one blasphemes.

¹ And when He had called to Him His twelve disciples, He gave them authority over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all kinds of sickness and all kinds of disease. ² And the names of the twelve apostles are these: First, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James the son of Zebedee and John his brother;

⁴ Simon the Canaanite, and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed Him.

²⁸ And do not fear those who kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul. But rather fear Him who can destroy both soul and body in hell.

³² Then everyone who shall confess Me before men, I will confess him before My Father who is in Heaven. ³³ But whoever shall deny Me before men, I will also deny him before My Father in Heaven.

⁶ And blessed is he, whoever shall not be offended in Me.

¹⁴ Then the Pharisees went out and held council against Him, as to how they might destroy Him.

²⁴ But when the Pharisees heard, they said, This one does not cast out demons except by Beelzebub the ruler of the demons.

⁴³ Then the righteous shall shine out like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears to hear, let him hear.

⁵ And when he desired to put him to death, he feared the multitude, because they counted him as a prophet.

¹⁹ And He commanded the crowd to recline on the grass. And He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to Heaven He blessed and broke, and gave the loaves to His disciples. And the disciples gave to the crowd.

¹⁶ And Simon Peter answered and said, You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.

²¹ From that time Jesus began to show His disciples that He must go to Jerusalem and suffer many things from the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised again the third day.

²⁷ For the Son of Man shall come in the glory of His Father with His angels, and then He shall reward each one according to his works. ²⁸ Truly I say to you, There are some standing here who shall not taste of death until they see the Son of Man coming in His kingdom.

¹ And after six days Jesus took Peter, James, and John his brother, and brought them up into a high mountain apart.

²² And while they stayed in Galilee, Jesus said to them, The Son of Man shall be betrayed into the hands of men.

²⁴ And when they had come to Capernaum, those who received the didrachmas came to Peter and said, Does your master not pay the didrachmas? ²⁵ He said, Yes. And when he had come into the house, Jesus anticipated him, saying, What do you think, Simon? From whom do the kings of the earth take custom or tribute? From their sons, or from strangers?

⁷ Woe to the world because of offenses! For it is necessary that offenses come; but woe to that man by whom the offense comes!

²⁰ For where two or three are gathered together in My name, there I am in their midst.

¹ And it happened, when Jesus had finished these sayings, that He departed from Galilee and came into the borders of Judea beyond Jordan.

¹³ But he answered one of them and said, Friend, I do you no wrong. Did you not agree with me for a denarius?

¹⁸ Behold, we go up to Jerusalem. And the Son of Man shall be betrayed to the chief priests and to the scribes, and they shall condemn Him to death. ¹⁹ And they shall deliver Him to the nations to mock and to scourge and to crucify. And the third day He shall rise again.

¹⁹ And they shall deliver Him to the nations to mock and to scourge and to crucify. And the third day He shall rise again. ²⁰ Then the mother of Zebedee's children came to Him with her sons, worshiping and desiring a certain thing from Him.

²² But Jesus answered and said, You do not know what you ask. Are you able to drink of the cup that I shall drink of, and to be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with? They said to Him, We are able.

²² But Jesus answered and said, You do not know what you ask. Are you able to drink of the cup that I shall drink of, and to be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with? They said to Him, We are able. ²³ And He said to them, You shall indeed drink of My cup and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with; but to sit on My right hand and on My left is not Mine to give, but to those for whom it has been prepared by My Father. ²⁴ And when the ten heard it, they were indignant concerning the two brothers.

²⁸ even as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many.

¹ And when they drew near Jerusalem, and had come to Bethphage, to the Mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples,

³ And if anyone says anything to you, you shall say, The Lord has need of them, and immediately He will send them.

⁶ And the disciples went and did as Jesus commanded them.

¹¹ And the crowd said, This is Jesus the prophet, from Nazareth of Galilee.

¹⁷ And leaving them, He went out of the city to Bethany, and spent the night there.

²⁶ But if we shall say From men, we fear the people; for all consider John as a prophet.

⁴⁵ And when the chief priests and Pharisees heard His parables, they knew that He spoke of them. ⁴⁶ But seeking to lay hands on Him, they feared the crowd, because they held Him for a prophet.

¹² And he said to him, Friend, how did you come in here without having a wedding garment? And he was speechless.

⁷ and greetings in the market-places, and to be called, Rabbi! Rabbi! by men. ⁸ But you must not be called Rabbi, for One is your teacher, Christ, and you are all brothers.

¹⁰ Nor be called teachers, for One is your Teacher, even Christ.

³³ Serpents! Offspring of vipers! How can you escape the condemnation of hell? ³⁴ Therefore, behold, I send prophets and wise men and scribes to you. And you will kill and crucify some of them. And some of them you will scourge in your synagogues and persecute from city to city; ³⁵ so that on you may come all the righteous blood shed on the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah the son of Berachiah, whom you killed between the temple and the altar. ³⁶ Truly I say to you, All these things shall come on this generation.

⁹ Then they will deliver you up to be afflicted and will kill you. And you will be hated of all nations for My name's sake. ¹⁰ And then many will be offended, and will betray one another, and will hate one another.

¹⁴ And this gospel of the kingdom shall be proclaimed in all the world as a witness to all nations. And then the end shall come.

²⁴ For false Christs and false prophets will arise and show great signs and wonders; so much so that, if it were possible, they would deceive even the elect.

³⁰ And then the sign of the Son of Man shall appear in the heavens. And then all the tribes of the earth shall mourn, and they shall see the Son of Man coming in the clouds of the heaven with power and great glory.

⁴² Therefore watch; for you do not know what hour your Lord comes.

⁵ While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.

¹³ Therefore watch, for you do not know either the day or the hour in which the Son of Man comes.

³¹ But when the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the holy angels with Him, then He shall sit on the throne of His glory.

³⁴ Then the King shall say to those on His right hand, Come, blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.

³⁴ Then the King shall say to those on His right hand, Come, blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. ³⁵ For I was hungry, and you gave me food; I was thirsty, and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger, and you took Me in; ³⁶ I was naked, and you clothed Me; I was sick, and you visited Me; I was in prison, and you came to Me. ³⁷ Then the righteous shall answer Him, saying, Lord, when did we see You hungry, and fed You? Or thirsty, and gave You drink? ³⁸ When did we see You a stranger, and took You in? Or naked, and clothed You? ³⁹ Or when did we see You sick, or in prison, and came to You? ⁴⁰ And the King shall answer and say to them, Truly I say to you, Inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brothers, you have done it to Me.

⁴² For I was hungry, and you gave Me no food; I was thirsty, and you gave Me no drink; ⁴³ I was a stranger and you did not take Me in; I was naked, and you did not clothe Me; I was sick, and in prison, and you did not visit me. ⁴⁴ Then they will also answer Him, saying, Lord, when did we see You hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister to You? ⁴⁵ Then He shall answer them, saying, Truly I say to you, Inasmuch as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to Me.

² You know that after two days the Passover comes, and the Son of Man is betrayed to be crucified. ³ Then the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders of the people, assembled together to the palace of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas.

¹⁴ Then one of the twelve, called Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests.

¹⁴ Then one of the twelve, called Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests.

¹⁴ Then one of the twelve, called Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests. ¹⁵ And he said to them, What will you give me, and I will betray Him to you? And they appointed to him thirty pieces of silver.

¹⁵ And he said to them, What will you give me, and I will betray Him to you? And they appointed to him thirty pieces of silver. ¹⁶ And from that time he sought opportunity to betray Him.

¹⁸ And He said, Go into the city to such a man, and say to him, The Master said, My time is at hand. I will keep the Passover at your house with My disciples. ¹⁹ And the disciples did as Jesus had appointed them. And they made the passover ready.

²⁴ The Son of Man goes, as it has been written of Him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been good for that man if he had not been born.

²⁴ The Son of Man goes, as it has been written of Him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been good for that man if he had not been born. ²⁵ And answering, the one betraying Him, Judas, said, Master, Not am I the one? He said to him, You said it.

²⁵ And answering, the one betraying Him, Judas, said, Master, Not am I the one? He said to him, You said it.

³¹ Then Jesus said to them, All of you will be offended because of Me this night. For it is written, "I will smite the Shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered abroad."

³⁴ Jesus said to him, Truly I say to you that this night, before the cock crows, you shall deny Me three times.

³⁴ Jesus said to him, Truly I say to you that this night, before the cock crows, you shall deny Me three times. ³⁵ Peter said to Him, though I should die with You, yet I will not deny You. All the disciples also said the same.

³⁵ Peter said to Him, though I should die with You, yet I will not deny You. All the disciples also said the same.

³⁸ Then He said to them, My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death. Wait here and watch with Me. ³⁹ And He went a little further and fell on His face, and prayed, saying, O My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me. Yet not as I will, but as You will. ⁴⁰ And He came to the disciples and found them asleep. And He said to Peter, What! Could you not watch with Me one hour?

⁴⁰ And He came to the disciples and found them asleep. And He said to Peter, What! Could you not watch with Me one hour? ⁴¹ Watch and pray that you enter not into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.

⁴¹ Watch and pray that you enter not into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak. ⁴² He went away again the second time and prayed, saying, My Father, if this cup may not pass away from Me unless I drink it, Your will be done.

⁴² He went away again the second time and prayed, saying, My Father, if this cup may not pass away from Me unless I drink it, Your will be done. ⁴³ And He came and found them asleep again, for their eyes were heavy.

⁴³ And He came and found them asleep again, for their eyes were heavy.

⁴⁷ And as He was yet speaking, behold, Judas came, one of the Twelve. And with him came a great crowd with swords and clubs, being sent from the chief priests and elders of the people.

⁴⁹ And coming up to Jesus immediately, he said, Hail, Master! And he kissed Him.

⁵¹ And, behold, one of those who were with Jesus stretched out his hand and drew his sword, and he struck a servant of the high priest and cut off his ear.

⁵⁴ But how then shall the Scriptures be fulfilled, that it must be so? ⁵⁵ In that hour Jesus said to the crowds, Have you come out in order to take Me with swords and clubs, as against a thief? I sat daily with you, teaching in the temple, and you did not lay hands on Me. ⁵⁶ But all this happened that the Scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled. Then all the disciples fled, forsaking Him. ⁵⁷ And they who had seized Jesus led Him away to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders had assembled. ⁵⁸ But Peter followed Him afar off to the high priest's court, and he went in and sat with the servants to see the end.

⁵⁸ But Peter followed Him afar off to the high priest's court, and he went in and sat with the servants to see the end.

⁶³ But Jesus was silent. And the high priest answered and said to Him, I adjure you by the living God that you tell us whether you are the Christ, the Son of God. ⁶⁴ Jesus said to him, You said it. I tell you more. From this time you shall see the Son of Man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming on the clouds of the heavens.

⁶⁴ Jesus said to him, You said it. I tell you more. From this time you shall see the Son of Man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming on the clouds of the heavens. ⁶⁵ Then the high priest tore his clothes, saying, He has spoken blasphemy! What further need do we have of witnesses? Behold, now you have heard his blasphemy. ⁶⁶ What do you think? They answered and said, He is worthy of death.

⁶⁹ And Peter sat outside in the court. And a girl came to him, saying, You also were with Jesus of Galilee.

⁷¹ And when he had gone out into the porch, another saw him and said to those there, This one was also with Jesus of Nazareth.

⁷⁴ Then he began to curse and to swear, I do not know the man. And immediately the cock crowed. ⁷⁵ And Peter remembered the word of Jesus, Who said to him, Before the cock crows, you shall deny Me three times. And he went out and wept bitterly.

³ Then he who had betrayed Him, seeing that He was condemned, sorrowing, Judas returned the thirty pieces of silver again to the chief priests and elders,

³ Then he who had betrayed Him, seeing that He was condemned, sorrowing, Judas returned the thirty pieces of silver again to the chief priests and elders, ⁴ saying, I have sinned, betraying innocent blood. And they said, What is that to us? You see to that.

⁴ saying, I have sinned, betraying innocent blood. And they said, What is that to us? You see to that. ⁵ And he threw the pieces of silver down in the temple and departed. And he went and hanged himself.

¹¹ And Jesus stood before the governor. And the governor asked Him, saying, Are you the king of the Jews? And Jesus said to him, You say it. ¹² And when He was accused by the chief priests and elders, He answered nothing.

¹² And when He was accused by the chief priests and elders, He answered nothing. ¹³ Then Pilate said to Him, Do you not hear how many things they witness against you? ¹⁴ And He did not answer him a word, so that the governor greatly marveled.

¹⁴ And He did not answer him a word, so that the governor greatly marveled.

²⁴ But when Pilate saw that it gained nothing, but rather that a tumult was made, he took water and washed his hands before the crowd, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this just person. You see to it. ²⁵ Then all the people answered and said, Let His blood be on us and on our children.

²⁸ And stripping Him, they put a scarlet robe around Him. ²⁹ And plaiting a crown of thorns, they put it on His head, and a reed in His right hand. And they bowed the knee before Him and mocked Him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews!

²⁹ And plaiting a crown of thorns, they put it on His head, and a reed in His right hand. And they bowed the knee before Him and mocked Him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews! ³⁰ And spitting at Him, they took the reed and struck at His head.

³⁰ And spitting at Him, they took the reed and struck at His head.

³⁹ And those who passed by blasphemed Him, shaking their heads, ⁴⁰ and saying, You destroying the temple and building it in three days, save yourself. If you are the Son of God, come down from the cross.

⁴⁰ and saying, You destroying the temple and building it in three days, save yourself. If you are the Son of God, come down from the cross. ⁴¹ And in the same way also the chief priests mocked, with the scribes and elders, saying, ⁴² He saved others, but he cannot save himself. If he is the King of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe him. ⁴³ He trusted in God, let Him deliver Him now, if He will have Him. (For He said, I am the Son of God.)

⁴³ He trusted in God, let Him deliver Him now, if He will have Him. (For He said, I am the Son of God.) ⁴⁴ And also the thieves who were crucified with Him reviled Him, saying the same.

⁵⁴ But the centurion and those guarding Jesus, seeing the earthquake, and the things that took place, they feared greatly, saying, Truly this One was Son of God.

⁶³ saying, Sir, we remember that that deceiver said, while He was living, After three days I will rise again. ⁶⁴ Then command that the tomb be made secure until the third day, lest his disciples come by night and steal him away and say to the people, He has risen from the dead. So the last error will be worse than the first.

⁶ He is not here, for He has risen, as He said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay. ⁷ And go quickly and tell His disciples that He has risen from the dead. And, behold, He goes before you into Galilee. There you shall see Him. Lo, I have told you.

¹⁰ Then Jesus said to them, Do not be afraid; go tell My brothers that they should go into Galilee, and there they will see Me.

¹⁶ And the eleven disciples went into Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had appointed them.

¹⁹ Therefore go and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, ²⁰ teaching them to observe all things, whatever I commanded you. And, behold, I am with you all the days until the end of the world. Amen.

⁴ John came baptizing in the wilderness and proclaiming the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins.

³⁵ While He still spoke, they came from the synagogue ruler's house, saying, Your daughter is dead; why do you still trouble the Teacher?

³⁷ And He allowed no one to follow Him, except Peter and James and John, the brother of James.

⁴¹ And taking the five loaves and the two fish, He looked up to Heaven, He blessed and broke the loaves, and gave them to His disciples to set before them. And He divided the two fish to all.

⁹ And as they came down from the mountain, He commanded them that they should tell no one the things that they had seen until the Son of Man had risen from the dead. ¹⁰ And they kept that saying within themselves, debating with one another what the rising from the dead is.

¹² And He answered and told them, Elijah truly does come first and restores all things. And how has it been written of the Son of Man that He should suffer many things and be despised?

³⁴ And they will mock Him, and will scourge Him, and will spit on Him, and will kill Him. And the third day He shall rise again.

¹² And on the next day, they going out of Bethany, He was hungry.

³⁵ And answering, teaching in the temple, Jesus said, How do the scribes say that Christ is the Son of David?

¹⁰ And the gospel must first be proclaimed to all nations.

²² For false Christs and false prophets will arise and will give miraculous signs and wonders in order to seduce, if possible, even the elect.

³³ Take heed, watch and pray, for you do not know when the time is. ³⁴ As a man going away, leaving his house, and giving authority to his servants, and each man's work to him, and commanded the doorkeeper to watch. ³⁵ Then you watch, for you do not know when the lord of the house is coming, at evening, or at midnight, or at cockcrowing, or early; ³⁶ lest he come suddenly and find you sleeping. ³⁷ And what I say to you, I say to all. Watch.

¹ And after two days it was the Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread. And the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might take Him by craft and kill Him. ² But they said, Not during the Feast, lest there be an uproar of the people.

² But they said, Not during the Feast, lest there be an uproar of the people. ³ And being in Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, as He reclined, a woman came with an alabaster vial of pure, costly ointment of spikenard. And she broke the vial and poured it on His head. ⁴ And some were indignant to themselves, and said, Why was this waste of the ointment made?

⁴ And some were indignant to themselves, and said, Why was this waste of the ointment made? ⁵ For it might have been sold for more than three hundred denarii, and be given to the poor. And they were incensed with her.

⁵ For it might have been sold for more than three hundred denarii, and be given to the poor. And they were incensed with her. ⁶ And Jesus said, Let her alone! Why do you trouble her? She has done a good work towards Me.

⁶ And Jesus said, Let her alone! Why do you trouble her? She has done a good work towards Me. ⁷ For you have the poor with you always, and whenever you desire you may do them good. But you do not have Me always.

¹⁹ Jesus answered and said to them, Destroy this temple and in three days I will raise it up. ²⁰ Then the Jews said, This temple was forty-six years building, and will you rear it up in three days? ²¹ But He spoke of the temple of His body.

¹⁶ For God so loved the world that He gave His only-begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. ¹⁷ For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but so that the world might be saved through Him. ¹⁸ He who believes on Him is not condemned, but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only-begotten Son of God.

¹⁸ Then, because of this, the Jews sought the more to kill Him, because He not only had broken the sabbath, but also said that God was His father, making Himself equal with God. ¹⁹ Then Jesus answered and said to them, Truly, truly, I say to you, The Son can do nothing of Himself but what He sees the Father do. For whatever things He does, these also the Son does likewise. ²⁰ For the Father loves the Son and shows Him all the things that He Himself does. And He will show Him greater works than these, so that you may marvel. ²¹ For as the Father raises the dead and makes alive, even so the Son of Man makes alive whomever He wills. ²² For the Father judges no man, but has committed all judgment to the Son, ²³ so that all should honor the Son, even as they honor the Father. He who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent Him. ²⁴ Truly, truly, I say to you, He who hears My Word and believes on Him who sent Me has everlasting life and shall not come into condemnation, but has passed from death to life. ²⁵ Truly, truly, I say to you, The hour is coming and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God, and they who hear shall live.

³⁰ I can do nothing of My own self. As I hear, I judge, and My judgment is just, because I do not seek My own will, but the will of the Father who has sent Me.

³³ For the bread of God is He who comes down from Heaven and gives life to the world. ³⁴ Then they said to him, Lord, evermore give us this bread. ³⁵ And Jesus said to them, I am the bread of life. He who comes to Me shall never hunger, and he who believes on Me shall never thirst.

³⁸ For I came down from Heaven, not to do My own will but the will of Him who sent Me.

⁴⁷ Truly, truly, I say to you, He who believes on Me has everlasting life. ⁴⁸ I am the Bread of life. ⁴⁹ Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and died. ⁵⁰ This is the Bread which comes down from Heaven, so that a man may eat of it and not die. ⁵¹ I am the Living Bread which came down from Heaven. If anyone eats of this Bread, he shall live forever. And truly the bread that I will give is My flesh, which I will give for the life of the world. ⁵² Then the Jews argued with one another, saying, How can this man give us his flesh to eat? ⁵³ Then Jesus says to them, Truly, truly, I say to you, Unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man, and drink His blood, you do not have life in yourselves. ⁵⁴ Whoever partakes of My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. ⁵⁵ For My flesh is food indeed, and My blood is drink indeed. ⁵⁶ He who partakes of My flesh and drinks My blood dwells in Me, and I in him. ⁵⁷ As the living Father has sent Me, and I live through the Father, so he who partakes of Me, even he shall live by Me. ⁵⁸ This is the Bread which came down from Heaven, not as your fathers ate the manna, and died; he who partakes of this Bread shall live forever.

⁶⁹ And we have believed and have known that You are the Christ, the Son of the living God. ⁷⁰ Jesus answered them, Have I not chosen you, the Twelve? And one of you is a devil? ⁷¹ But he spoke of Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon; for it was he who was about to betray Him, being one of the Twelve.

⁶ Then Jesus said to them, My time has not yet come, but your time is always ready.

⁸ You go up to this feast; I am not yet going up to this feast; for My time is not yet fulfilled.

¹⁴ Now about the middle of the feast, Jesus went up into the temple and taught.

²⁸ Then Jesus cried in the temple as He taught, saying, You both know Me, and you know from where I come. And I have not come of Myself, but He who sent Me is true, whom you do not know.

³⁰ Then they sought to seize Him, but no one laid a hand on Him, because His hour had not yet come.

³² The Pharisees heard that the crowd murmured such things concerning Him. And the Pharisees and the chief priests sent officers to seize Him.

⁴¹ Others said, This is the Christ. But others said, Does the Christ come out of Galilee?

⁴⁵ Then the officers came to the chief priests and Pharisees. And they said to them, Why have you not brought him?

⁵² They answered and said to him, Are you also from Galilee? Search the scriptures and see that a prophet has not been raised out of Galilee.

² And early in the morning He came again into the temple, and all the people came to Him. And He sat down and taught them.

²⁵ Then they said to Him, Who are you? And Jesus said to them, Even the same which I also say to you.

²⁹ We know that God spoke to Moses, but we do not know from where this man is.

²⁴ Then the Jews encircled Him and said to Him, How long do you make us doubt? If you are the Christ, tell us plainly.

³⁰ I and the Father are one!

³³ The Jews answered Him, saying, We do not stone you for a good work, but for blasphemy, and because you, being a man, make yourself God.

³⁵ If He called those gods with whom the Word of God was, and the Scripture cannot be broken, ³⁶ do you say of Him whom the Father has sanctified and sent into the world, You blaspheme, because I said, I am the Son of God?

¹ And there was a certain sick one, Lazarus of Bethany, the town of Mary and her sister Martha. ² (And it was that Mary who anointed the Lord with ointment and wiped His feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.)

²⁸ And saying these things, she went away and called Mary her sister secretly, saying, The Teacher has come and calls you.

⁴¹ Then they took away the stone where the dead was laid. And Jesus lifted up His eyes and said, Father, I thank You that You have heard Me.

⁴⁷ Then the chief priests and Pharisees gathered a sanhedrin, and said, What can we do? For this man does many miracles. ⁴⁸ If we let him alone this way, all will believe on him. And the Romans will come and take away both our place and nation. ⁴⁹ And one of them, Caiaphas, being the high priest of that year, said to them, You do not know anything at all,

⁴⁹ And one of them, Caiaphas, being the high priest of that year, said to them, You do not know anything at all, ⁵⁰ nor do you consider that it is expedient for us that one man should die for the people, and not that the whole nation perish. ⁵¹ And he did not speak this of himself, but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for the nation; ⁵² and not for that nation only, but also that He should gather together in one the children of God who were scattered abroad. ⁵³ Then from that day they took counsel together that they might kill Him.

⁵⁵ And the Jews' Passover was near. And many went out of the country up to Jerusalem before the Passover in order to purify themselves.

⁵⁷ And all the chief priests and the Pharisees had given commands, that if anyone knew where He was, he should make it known so that they might seize Him.

¹ Then, six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazarus was (who had died, whom He raised from the dead).

¹ Then, six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazarus was (who had died, whom He raised from the dead). ² Then they made a supper there for Him. And Martha served, but Lazarus was one of those reclining with Him.

² Then they made a supper there for Him. And Martha served, but Lazarus was one of those reclining with Him. ³ Then Mary took a pound of ointment of pure spikenard, very costly, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped His feet with her hair. And the house was filled with the odor of the ointment.

³ Then Mary took a pound of ointment of pure spikenard, very costly, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped His feet with her hair. And the house was filled with the odor of the ointment. ⁴ Then said one of His disciples (Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, who was to betray Him)

⁴ Then said one of His disciples (Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, who was to betray Him)

⁴ Then said one of His disciples (Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, who was to betray Him) ⁵ Why was this ointment not sold for three hundred denarii and given to the poor?

⁵ Why was this ointment not sold for three hundred denarii and given to the poor? ⁶ He said this, not that he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief and held the moneybag and carried the things put in.

⁶ He said this, not that he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief and held the moneybag and carried the things put in. ⁷ Then Jesus said, Let her alone. She has kept this for the day of My burial.

⁷ Then Jesus said, Let her alone. She has kept this for the day of My burial. ⁸ For you have the poor with you always; but you do not always have Me.

⁸ For you have the poor with you always; but you do not always have Me.

²³ And Jesus answered them, saying, The hour has come that the Son of Man should be glorified.

²⁷ And My soul is troubled, and what shall I say? Father, save Me from this hour? But for this cause I came to this hour.

²⁷ And My soul is troubled, and what shall I say? Father, save Me from this hour? But for this cause I came to this hour. ²⁸ Father, glorify Your name! Then there came a voice from the heaven saying, I have both glorified it and will glorify it again.

¹ And before the feast of the Passover, when Jesus knew that His hour had come when He should depart out of this world to the Father, having loved His own in the world, He loved them to the end.

¹ And before the feast of the Passover, when Jesus knew that His hour had come when He should depart out of this world to the Father, having loved His own in the world, He loved them to the end. ² And when supper had ended, the Devil now having put into the heart of Judas Iscariot the son of Simon to betray Him,

² And when supper had ended, the Devil now having put into the heart of Judas Iscariot the son of Simon to betray Him,

¹⁸ I do not speak of you all; I know whom I have chosen; but that the Scripture might be fulfilled, "He who eats bread with me has lifted up his heel against me."

²¹ When Jesus had said this, He was troubled in spirit, and testified and said, Truly, truly, I say to you that one of you shall betray Me. ²² Then the disciples looked upon one another, wondering of whom He spoke. ²³ But there was one of His disciples leaning upon Jesus' bosom, the one whom Jesus loved. ²⁴ Simon Peter therefore signaled to him to ask whom it might be of whom He spoke. ²⁵ And lying on Jesus' breast, he said to him, Lord, who is it? ²⁶ Jesus answered, It is he to whom I shall give the morsel when I have dipped it. And dipping the morsel, He gave it to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon. ²⁷ And after the morsel, then Satan entered into him. Then Jesus said to him, What you do, do quickly. ²⁸ But no one reclining knew for what reason He spoke this to him.

³⁰ He then, having received the morsel, went out immediately. And it was night.

³³ Little children, I am with you yet a little while. You shall seek Me; and as I said to the Jews, Where I go, you cannot come, so I now say to you.

³⁶ Simon Peter said to Him, Lord, where do You go? Jesus answered him, Where I go you cannot now follow Me, but you shall follow Me afterward. ³⁷ Peter said to Him, Lord, why cannot I follow You now? I will lay down my life for Your sake.

³⁷ Peter said to Him, Lord, why cannot I follow You now? I will lay down my life for Your sake. ³⁸ Jesus answered him, Will you lay down your life for My sake? Truly, truly, I say to you, The cock shall not crow until you have denied Me three times.

³⁸ Jesus answered him, Will you lay down your life for My sake? Truly, truly, I say to you, The cock shall not crow until you have denied Me three times.

¹⁹ Yet a little while and the world does not see Me any more. But you see Me. Because I live, you shall live also.

³¹ But that the world may know that I love the Father, and as the Father has given Me commandment, even so I do. Arise, let us go away from here.

¹¹ I have spoken these things to you so that My joy might remain in you and your joy might be full.

¹⁴ You are My friends if you do whatever I command you.

⁵ But now I go to Him who sent Me, and none of you asks Me, Where do You go?

²² And therefore you now have sorrow. But I will see you again, and your heart will rejoice, and no one will take your joy from you.

²⁸ I came forth from the Father, and have come into the world. Again I leave the world and go to the Father.

³² Behold, the hour comes, yea, has now come, that you will be scattered, each man to his own things, and you will leave Me alone. And yet I am not alone, because the Father is with Me.

¹ Jesus spoke these words and lifted up His eyes to Heaven and said, Father, the hour has come. Glorify Your Son so that Your Son also may glorify You,

¹¹ And now I am in the world no longer, but these are in the world, and I come to You, Holy Father. Keep them in Your name, those whom You have given Me, so that they may be one as We are. ¹² While I was with them in the world, I kept them in Your name. Those that You have given Me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition, that the Scripture might be fulfilled. ¹³ And now I come to You, and these things I speak in the world that they might have My joy fulfilled in them.

¹ Having spoken these words, Jesus went out with His disciples over the winter stream Kidron, where there was a garden. He and His disciples entered into it.

¹ Having spoken these words, Jesus went out with His disciples over the winter stream Kidron, where there was a garden. He and His disciples entered into it. ² And Judas who betrayed Him also knew the place. For Jesus oftentimes went there with His disciples.

² And Judas who betrayed Him also knew the place. For Jesus oftentimes went there with His disciples.

³ Then Judas, having received a band and officers from the chief priests and Pharisees, came there with lanterns and torches and weapons. ⁴ Then Jesus, knowing all things that were coming upon Him, went out and said to them, Whom do you seek?

⁴ Then Jesus, knowing all things that were coming upon Him, went out and said to them, Whom do you seek? ⁵ They answered Him, Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus said to them, I AM! And Judas who betrayed Him also stood with them. ⁶ Then as soon as He had said to them, I AM, they went backward and fell to the ground. ⁷ Then He asked them again, Whom do you seek? And they said, Jesus of Nazareth. ⁸ Jesus answered, I have told you that I AM. Therefore if you seek Me, let these go away;

⁸ Jesus answered, I have told you that I AM. Therefore if you seek Me, let these go away; ⁹ (that the word might be fulfilled which He spoke, "Of those whom You have given Me, I have lost not one of them").

⁹ (that the word might be fulfilled which He spoke, "Of those whom You have given Me, I have lost not one of them"). ¹⁰ Then Simon Peter, having a sword, drew it and struck the high priest's servant and cut off his right ear. And the servant's name was Malchus. ¹¹ Then Jesus said to Peter, Put up your sword into the sheath. The cup which My Father has given Me, shall I not drink it?

¹¹ Then Jesus said to Peter, Put up your sword into the sheath. The cup which My Father has given Me, shall I not drink it? ¹² Then the band, and the chiliarch, and under-officers of the Jews together seized Jesus and bound Him. ¹³ And they led Him away to Annas first, for he was father-in-law to Caiaphas, who was the high priest that year.

¹³ And they led Him away to Annas first, for he was father-in-law to Caiaphas, who was the high priest that year. ¹⁴ And Caiaphas was he who gave counsel to the Jews, that it was expedient that one man should die for the people.

¹⁴ And Caiaphas was he who gave counsel to the Jews, that it was expedient that one man should die for the people. ¹⁵ And Simon Peter and another disciple followed Jesus. That disciple was known to the high priest, and he went in with Jesus into the court of the high priest.

¹⁵ And Simon Peter and another disciple followed Jesus. That disciple was known to the high priest, and he went in with Jesus into the court of the high priest. ¹⁶ But Peter stood at the door outside. Then the other disciple went out, the one who was known to the high priest, and spoke to her who kept the door and brought Peter in.

¹⁶ But Peter stood at the door outside. Then the other disciple went out, the one who was known to the high priest, and spoke to her who kept the door and brought Peter in. ¹⁷ Then the girl who kept the door said to Peter, Are you not also one of this man's disciples? He said, I am not. ¹⁸ And the servants and officers who had made a fire of coals stood there, for it was cold. And they warmed themselves. And Peter stood with them and warmed himself. ¹⁹ Then the high priest asked Jesus of His disciples and of His teaching. ²⁰ Jesus answered him, I spoke openly to the world. I always taught in the synagogue and in the temple, where the Jews always resort, and I have said nothing in secret.

²⁰ Jesus answered him, I spoke openly to the world. I always taught in the synagogue and in the temple, where the Jews always resort, and I have said nothing in secret. ²¹ Why do you ask Me? Ask those who heard me what I have said to them. Behold, they know what I said.

²¹ Why do you ask Me? Ask those who heard me what I have said to them. Behold, they know what I said. ²² And when He had spoken this way, one of the officers who stood by struck Jesus with the palm of his hand, saying, Do you answer the high priest so?

²² And when He had spoken this way, one of the officers who stood by struck Jesus with the palm of his hand, saying, Do you answer the high priest so? ²³ Jesus answered him, If I have spoken evil, bear witness of the evil; but if well, why do you strike Me? ²⁴ Then Annas had sent Him bound to Caiaphas the high priest.

²⁴ Then Annas had sent Him bound to Caiaphas the high priest. ²⁵ And Simon Peter stood and warmed himself. Then they said to him, Are you not also one of his disciples? He denied and said, I am not.

²⁵ And Simon Peter stood and warmed himself. Then they said to him, Are you not also one of his disciples? He denied and said, I am not. ²⁶ One of the servants of the high priest, being kinsman to him whose ear Peter cut off, said, Did I not see you in the garden with him? ²⁷ Peter then denied again. And immediately a cock crowed.

²⁷ Peter then denied again. And immediately a cock crowed. ²⁸ Then they led Jesus from Caiaphas into the praetorium. And it was early. And they did not go into the praetorium, that they should not be defiled, and that they might eat the Passover.

³⁶ Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world. If My kingdom were of this world, then My servants would fight so that I might not be delivered to the Jews. But now My kingdom is not from here. ³⁷ Pilate then said to Him, Are you a king then? Jesus answered, You say it that I am a king. To this end I was born, and for this cause I came into the world, that I should bear witness to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth hears My voice.

² And the soldiers plaited a crown of thorns and put it on His head. And they put a purple robe on Him, ³ and said, Hail, King of the Jews! And they struck Him with their hands.

³ and said, Hail, King of the Jews! And they struck Him with their hands.

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

⁹ And he went again into the praetorium and said to Jesus, Where are you from? But Jesus gave him no answer.

⁹ And he went again into the praetorium and said to Jesus, Where are you from? But Jesus gave him no answer. ¹⁰ Then Pilate said to him, Do you not speak to me? Do you not know that I have authority to crucify you, and I have authority to release you? ¹¹ Jesus answered, You could have no authority against Me unless it were given to you from above. Therefore he who delivered Me to you has the greater sin.

¹⁴ And it was the preparation of the Passover, and about the sixth hour. And he said to the Jews, Behold your king! ¹⁵ But they cried out, Away with him! Away with him! Crucify him! Pilate said to them, Shall I crucify your king? The chief priests answered, We have no king but Caesar.

²⁴ Therefore they said among themselves, Let us not tear it, but cast lots for it to find whose it shall be (that the Scripture might be fulfilled which says, "They parted my garments among them, and for my garment they cast lots"). Therefore the soldiers did these things.

²⁸ After this, knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the Scripture might be fulfilled, Jesus said, I thirst.

³⁶ For these things were done so that the Scripture might be fulfilled, "Not a bone of Him shall be broken." ³⁷ And again another Scripture says, "They shall look upon Him whom they pierced."

³⁹ And Nicodemus also came, who at the first came to Jesus by night, and brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pounds. ⁴⁰ Then they took the body of Jesus and wound it with linens with the spices, as is the custom of the Jews to bury.

¹⁶ Jesus said to her, Mary! She turned herself and said to Him, Rabboni! (which is to say, Master!)

³¹ But these are written so that you might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you might have life in His name.

¹ After these things Jesus revealed Himself again to the disciples at the Sea of Tiberias. And He revealed Himself this way: ² Simon Peter, and Thomas called the Twin, and Nathanael from Cana in Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and two others of His disciples were together. ³ Simon Peter said to them, I am going out to fish. They said to him, We will go with you also. They went out and entered into a boat immediately. And that night they caught nothing. ⁴ But when the morning had come, Jesus stood on the shore. But the disciples did not know that it was Jesus. ⁵ Then Jesus said to them, Children, do you have anything to eat? They answered Him, No. ⁶ And He said to them, Cast the net on the right side of the boat and you will find. Therefore they cast, and now they no longer had the strength to draw, from the multitude of fish. ⁷ Then that disciple whom Jesus loves said to Peter, It is the Lord! Then hearing that it is the Lord, Simon Peter girded on his coat (for he was naked), and cast himself into the sea. ⁸ And the other disciples came in a little boat (for they were not far from land, only about two hundred cubits), dragging the net of fish. ⁹ Then when they went up on the land, they saw a fire of coals there, and a fish lying on it, and bread. ¹⁰ And Jesus said to them, Bring from the fish which you have now caught. ¹¹ Simon Peter went up and drew the net to land, full of big fish, a hundred and fifty-three. And though there were so many, the net was not torn. ¹² Jesus said to them, Come, break fast. And none of the disciples dared to ask Him, Who are You? knowing that it was the Lord. ¹³ Then Jesus came and took the bread and gave to them, and in the same way the little fish. ¹⁴ This is now the three times Jesus was revealed to His disciples, He being risen from the dead. ¹⁵ Then when they broke fast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonah, do you love Me more than these? He said to Him, Yes, Lord, You know that I love You. He said to him, Feed My lambs.

¹⁵ Then when they broke fast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonah, do you love Me more than these? He said to Him, Yes, Lord, You know that I love You. He said to him, Feed My lambs. ¹⁶ He said to him the second time, Simon, son of Jonah, do you love Me? He said to Him, Yes, Lord, You know that I love You. He said to him, Feed My sheep. ¹⁷ He said to him the third time, Simon, son of Jonah, do you love Me? Peter was grieved because He said to him a third time, Do you love Me? And he said to Him, Lord, You know all things, You know that I love You. Jesus said to him, Feed My sheep.

¹⁷ He said to him the third time, Simon, son of Jonah, do you love Me? Peter was grieved because He said to him a third time, Do you love Me? And he said to Him, Lord, You know all things, You know that I love You. Jesus said to him, Feed My sheep.

¹¹ who also said, Men of Galilee, why do you stand gazing up into the heaven? This same Jesus who is taken up from you into Heaven, will come in the way you have seen Him going into Heaven.

¹⁶ Men, brothers, this Scripture must have been fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit by the mouth of David spoke before concerning Judas, who became guide to those who seized Jesus.

¹⁶ Men, brothers, this Scripture must have been fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit by the mouth of David spoke before concerning Judas, who became guide to those who seized Jesus. ¹⁷ For he was numbered with us and had obtained part of this ministry. ¹⁸ Indeed, then, this one purchased a field with the reward of unrighteousness. And falling headlong, he burst apart in the middle, and all his bowels gushed out.

¹⁸ Indeed, then, this one purchased a field with the reward of unrighteousness. And falling headlong, he burst apart in the middle, and all his bowels gushed out. ¹⁹ And it was known to all the dwellers at Jerusalem, so much so that that field is called in their own dialect, Akeldama, that is to say, Field of Blood. ²⁰ For it is written in the Book of Psalms, "Let his estate become forsaken, and he not be living in it." And, "Let another take his overseership."

²³ this One given to you by the before-determined counsel and foreknowledge of God, you have taken and by lawless hands, crucifying Him, you put Him to death;

⁴⁶ And continuing with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, they shared food with gladness and simplicity of heart,

²¹ whom Heaven truly needs to receive until the times of restoration of all things, which God has spoken by the mouth of His holy prophets since the world began.

⁵ And it happened on the next day that their rulers and elders and scribes, gathered to Jerusalem, ⁶ and Annas the high priest, and Caiaphas, and John, and Alexander, and as many as were of the kindred of the high priest.

²⁵ who by the mouth of Your servant David has said, "Why did the nations rage and the people imagine vain things? ²⁶ The kings of the earth stood up, and the rulers were gathered together against the Lord and against His Christ." ²⁷ For truly, against Your holy child Jesus, whom You have anointed, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the nations, and the people of Israel, were gathered together ²⁸ in order to do whatever Your hand and Your counsel determined before to be done.

²⁸ in order to do whatever Your hand and Your counsel determined before to be done.

³ But Peter said, Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart for you to lie to the Holy Spirit, and to keep back part of the price of the land? ⁴ While it remained, was it not your own? And after it was sold, was it not in your own authority? Why have you conceived this thing in your heart? You have not lied to men, but to God.

³⁷ After this one, Judas of Galilee rose up in the days of the Registration, and drew away considerable people after him. Yet that one perished; and all, as many as obeyed him, were scattered.

¹¹ And they induced men to be saying, We have heard him speak blasphemous words against Moses and God. ¹² And they stirred up the people and the elders and the scribes. And coming on, they seized him and brought him to the sanhedrin. ¹³ And they set up false witnesses, who said, This man does not cease speaking blasphemous words against this holy place and the Law.

¹³ And they set up false witnesses, who said, This man does not cease speaking blasphemous words against this holy place and the Law. ¹⁴ For we have heard him say that this Jesus of Nazareth shall destroy this place, and shall change the customs which Moses delivered to us.

¹⁹ Dealing subtly with our race, this one oppressed our fathers, causing their infants to be exposed, so as not to be left alive.

⁵² Which of the prophets did your fathers not persecute? And they killed those who foretold the coming of the Just One, of whom you have now been the betrayers and murderers;

⁵⁵ But being full of the Holy Spirit, looking up intently into Heaven, he saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God. ⁵⁶ And he said, Behold, I see Heaven opened and the Son of Man standing on the right hand of God.

³² And the content of the Scripture which he read was this: "He was led as a sheep to the slaughter, and like a lamb dumb before his shearer, so He opened not His mouth. ³³ In His humiliation His judgment was taken away, and who shall declare His generation? For His life is taken from the earth." ³⁴ And the eunuch answered Philip and said, I beg you, of whom does the prophet speak this? Of himself or of some other man? ³⁵ Then Philip opened his mouth and began at the same Scripture and preached the gospel of Jesus to him.

²⁵ And as Peter was coming in, Cornelius met him and fell down at his feet and worshiped.

⁴¹ not to all the people, but to witnesses hand-picked before by God, even to us who ate and drank with Him after He rose from the dead.

¹⁰ and said, O son of the Devil, full of all deceit and all craftiness, enemy of all righteousness, will you not stop perverting the right ways of the Lord?

²⁷ For those living in Jerusalem, and their rulers, not having known this One, and the voices of the Prophets being read throughout every sabbath, condemning Him, they fulfilled the Scriptures.

²⁷ For those living in Jerusalem, and their rulers, not having known this One, and the voices of the Prophets being read throughout every sabbath, condemning Him, they fulfilled the Scriptures. ²⁸ And finding not one cause of death in Him, they begged Pilate to do away with Him.

²⁸ And finding not one cause of death in Him, they begged Pilate to do away with Him. ²⁹ And when they had fulfilled all that was written concerning Him, taking Him down from the tree, they laid Him in a tomb.

¹⁴ But hearing this, the apostles Barnabas and Paul tore their clothes and ran in among the people, crying out

² And according to Paul's custom, he went in to them and reasoned with them out of the Scriptures on three sabbaths, ³ opening and setting forth that Christ must have suffered, and to have risen again from the dead; and that this Jesus whom I preach to you is Christ.

¹⁸ And certain philosophers from the Epicureans and from the Stoics met him. And some said, What will this babbler say? And others said, He seems to be an announcer of foreign demons (because he preached Jesus and the resurrection to them).

¹³ saying, This one persuades men to worship God contrary to the Law.

⁷ And on the first of the sabbaths, the disciples having been assembled to break bread, being about to depart on the morrow, Paul reasoned to them. And he continued his speech until midnight.

⁹ And a certain young man named Eutychus was sitting on the window sill, Paul reasoning for a longer time, being overborne by sleep, he fell down from the third floor, and was taken up dead.

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

²² And they listened to him until this word, and then they lifted up their voice, saying, Take such a one from the earth! For it is not fitting that he should live.

² And the high priest Ananias commanded those who stood by him to strike him on the mouth. ³ Then Paul said to him, God shall strike you, whitened wall! For do you sit judging me according to the Law, and against law command me to be stricken?

¹² And when it became day, some of the Jews banded together and bound themselves under a curse, saying that they would neither eat nor drink until they had killed Paul. ¹³ And they who made this conspiracy were more than forty. ¹⁴ And they came to the chief priests and elders and said, We have bound ourselves under a great curse that we will eat nothing until we have killed Paul.

¹ And after five days Ananias the high priest descended with the elders and with a certain orator, Tertullus, who made a statement to the governor against Paul. ² And being called, Tertullus began to accuse, saying, ³ Since we enjoy great quietness by you, and very worthy deeds are done to this nation due to your forethought, in everything and everywhere, most noble Felix, we accept with all thankfulness. ⁴ But that I not hinder you further, I beseech you to hear us briefly in your fairness. ⁵ For we have found this man pestilent, and moving rebellion among all the Jews throughout the world, and a ringleader of the sect of the Nazarenes, ⁶ who also attempted to profane the temple, whom we took and would have judged according to our Law. ⁷ But the chiliarch Lysias came with much force, taking him away out of our hands, ⁸ commanding his accusers to come to you. By examining him, you yourself may know about all these things of which we accuse him. ⁹ And the Jews also assented, saying that these things were so. ¹⁰ But the governor motioning to him to speak, Paul answered; Understanding you as being a judge of this nation many years, I cheerfully defend myself as to the things concerning myself. ¹¹ You can know that it is not more than twelve days since I went up to Jerusalem to worship. ¹² And they neither found me in the temple disputing with any man, nor making a gathering of a crowd; not even in the synagogues, nor throughout the city. ¹³ Nor can they prove the things of which they now accuse me.

²² Then having obtained help from God, I stand until this day, witnessing both to small and great, saying no other things than those which the prophets and Moses said was going to happen; ²³ whether the Christ was liable to suffer, whether first by a resurrection of the dead He was going to proclaim light to the people and to the nations.

²³ And they having appointed him a day, many came to him in his lodging; to whom he expounded, testifying the kingdom of God, and persuading them the things concerning Jesus, both out of the Law of Moses and out of the Prophets, from morning until evening.

¹⁵ but the free gift shall not be also like the offense. For if by the offense of the one many died, much more the grace of God, and the gift in grace; which is of the one Man, Jesus Christ, abounded to many.

¹⁹ For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of One shall many be made righteous.

¹⁸ For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh) dwells no good thing. For to will is present with me, but how to perform that which is good I do not find.

¹⁸ For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh) dwells no good thing. For to will is present with me, but how to perform that which is good I do not find. ¹⁹ For I do not do the good that I desire; but the evil which I do not will, that I do.

¹⁹ For I do not do the good that I desire; but the evil which I do not will, that I do. ²⁰ But if I do what I do not desire, it is no more I working it out, but sin dwelling in me.

²⁰ But if I do what I do not desire, it is no more I working it out, but sin dwelling in me. ²¹ I find then a law: when I will to do the right, evil is present with me. ²² For I delight in the Law of God according to the inward man; ²³ but I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin being in my members. ²⁴ O wretched man that I am! Who shall deliver me from the body of this death? ²⁵ I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then with the mind I myself serve the Law of God, but with the flesh the law of sin.

³ For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh;

³² Truly He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?

³ For I myself was wishing to be accursed from Christ for my brothers, my kinsmen according to the flesh,

¹⁸ But I say, Have they not heard? Yes indeed, their voice went out into all the earth, and their words to the end of the world.

²⁰ Well, because of unbelief they were broken off, and you stand by faith. Do not be high-minded, but fear.

¹⁰ in brotherly love to one another, loving fervently, having led one another in honor.

¹⁹ not avenging yourselves, beloved, but giving place to wrath; for it is written, "Vengeance is Mine, I will repay, says the Lord."

¹ Let every soul be subject to the higher authorities. For there is no authority but of God; the authorities that exist are ordained by God.

¹⁰ But why do you judge your brother? Or also why do you despise your brother? For all shall stand before the judgment seat of Christ.

¹ Then we who are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves. ² Let every one of us please his neighbor for his good, to building up. ³ For even Christ did not please Himself; but as it is written, "The reproaches of those who reproached You fell on Me."

¹⁹ in power of miracles and wonders, in power of the Spirit of God, so that from Jerusalem, and all around to Illyricum, I have fully preached the gospel of Christ.

⁷ For who makes you to differ from another? And what do you have that you did not receive? And if you did receive it, why do you boast as if you had not received it?

¹¹ Even until this present hour we both hunger and thirst and are naked and are buffeted and have no certain dwelling place. ¹² And we labor, working with our own hands. Being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we suffer it; ¹³ being defamed, we entreat. We are made as the filth of the world, the offscouring of all things until now.

²⁷ But I buffet my body, and lead it captive, lest proclaiming to others I myself might be rejected.

⁴ and all drank the same spiritual drink; for they drank of the spiritual Rock that followed them, and that Rock was Christ.

¹² So let him who thinks he stands take heed lest he fall. ¹³ No temptation has taken you but what is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted above what you are able, but with the temptation also will make a way to escape, so that you may be able to bear it.

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

¹⁶ The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ? ¹⁷ For we, the many, are one bread and one body; for we are all partakers of that one bread.

²³ For I received from the Lord what I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus in the night in which he was betrayed took bread; ²⁴ And giving thanks, He broke it and said, "Take, eat; this is My body, which is broken for you; this do in remembrance of Me." ²⁵ In the same way He took the cup also, after supping, saying, "This cup is the New Covenant in My blood; as often as you drink it, do this in remembrance of Me."

²⁵ In the same way He took the cup also, after supping, saying, "This cup is the New Covenant in My blood; as often as you drink it, do this in remembrance of Me." ²⁶ For "as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you show" the Lord's death until He shall come. ²⁷ So that whoever shall eat this bread and drink this cup of the Lord unworthily, he will be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord. ²⁸ But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread and drink of that cup.

²⁸ But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread and drink of that cup. ²⁹ For he who eats and drinks unworthily eats and drinks condemnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body.

³ For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received, that Christ died for our sins, according to the Scriptures,

⁶ Afterward He was seen by over five hundred brothers at once, of whom the greater part remain until this present day, but also some fell asleep.

¹³ Watch! Stand fast in the faith! Be men! Be strong!

²² If anyone does not love the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be accursed. The Lord comes!

²¹ For He has made Him who knew no sin, to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.

⁸ And God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that in everything, always having all self-sufficiency, you may abound to every good work;

⁴ For the weapons of our warfare are not fleshly, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds,

¹⁸ For not he who commends himself is approved, but he whom the Lord commends.

³ But I fear lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve in his craftiness, so your thoughts should be corrupted from the simplicity due to Christ.

²⁰ For you endure if anyone enslaves you, if anyone devours, if anyone takes from you, if anyone exalts himself, if anyone strikes you in the face. ²¹ I speak according to dishonor, as though we have been weak. But in whatever anyone dares (I speak foolishly), I also dare.

⁸ For this thing I besought the Lord three times, that it might depart from me.

⁷ which is not another, but some are troubling you, and desiring to pervert the gospel of Christ.

¹⁰ Only they asked that we remember the poor, which very thing I was eager to do.

¹³ Christ redeemed us from the curse of the Law, being made a curse for us (for it is written, "Cursed is everyone having been hanged on a tree");

²⁴ which things are being allegorized; for these are the two covenants, one indeed from Mount Sinai bringing forth to slavery, which is Hagar. ²⁵ For Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia, and answers to Jerusalem which now is, and is in slavery with her children.

¹² I wish that those causing you to doubt will cut themselves off.

¹⁶ I say, then, Walk in the Spirit and you shall not fulfill the lusts of the flesh. ¹⁷ For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh. And these are contrary to one another; lest whatever you may will, these things you do.

²⁴ But those belonging to Christ have crucified the flesh with its passions and lusts.

¹ Brothers, if a man is overtaken in a fault, you the spiritual ones restore such a one in the spirit of meekness, considering yourself, lest you also be tempted.

¹⁷ For the rest, let no one give troubles to me, for I bear in my body the brands of the Lord Jesus.

⁷ In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace,

¹⁰ For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to good works, which God has before ordained that we should walk in them.

¹⁹ speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord; ²⁰ always giving thanks for all things to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ,

¹⁸ praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching to this very thing with all perseverance and supplication for all saints.

³ Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than themselves.

⁸ And being found in fashion as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.

¹² Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, cultivate your own salvation with fear and trembling.

¹² Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect, but I am pressing on, if I may lay hold of that for which I also was taken hold of by Christ Jesus. ¹³ My brothers, I do not count myself to have taken possession, but one thing I do, forgetting the things behind and reaching forward to the things before, ¹⁴ I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

⁶ which has come to you as it has also in all the world, and it is bearing fruit, even also among you, since the day you heard and fully knew the grace of God in truth,

¹⁰ that you might walk worthy of the Lord to all pleasing, being fruitful in every work and increasing in the knowledge of God,

¹⁴ in whom we have redemption through His blood, the remission of sins.

²⁰ And through Him having made peace through the blood of His cross, it pleased the Father to reconcile all things to Himself through Him, whether the things on earth or the things in Heaven.

²³ if indeed you continue in the faith grounded and settled, and are not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which you have heard and which was proclaimed in all the creation under Heaven, of which I, Paul, became a minister,

¹⁶ Let the Word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. ¹⁷ And everything, whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by Him.

¹⁶ For the Lord Himself shall descend from Heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ shall rise first.

⁶ Therefore let us not sleep as the rest do, but let us watch and be calm. ⁷ For those sleeping sleep in the night, and those being drunken are drunken in the night. ⁸ But let us, who are of the day, be calm, having put on the breastplate of faith and love and the hope of salvation for a helmet.

¹⁵ See that none gives evil for evil to anyone, but always pursue the good, both towards one another and towards all.

²⁶ Greet all the brothers with a holy kiss.

⁷ and to give rest with us to you who are troubled, at the revealing of the Lord Jesus from Heaven with the angels of His power,

¹⁷ comfort your hearts and establish you in every good word and work.

⁶ who gave Himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.

¹ Faithful is the Word: If anyone reaches out to overseership, he desires a good work.

³ not a drunkard, not contentious, not greedy of ill gain, but gentle, not quarrelsome, not covetous,

¹⁰ well reported of for good works: if she brought up children, if she lodged strangers, if she washed the feet of saints, if she relieved the afflicted, if she followed after every good work.

⁹ But they who will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts which plunge men into destruction and perdition. ¹⁰ For the love of money is a root of all evils, of which some having lusted after, they were seduced from the faith and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

²¹ Therefore if anyone purges himself from these, he shall be a vessel to honor, sanctified and useful to the Master, prepared for every good work.

¹⁶ At my first answer no one was beside me, but all deserted me. May it not be laid to their charge.

¹⁶ They profess that they know God, but in their works they deny Him, being abominable and disobedient and reprobate to every good work.

⁸ in sound speech that cannot be condemned, that he who is opposed may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say of you.

¹⁴ who gave Himself for us that He might redeem us from all iniquity and purify to Himself a special people, zealous of good works.

¹ Put them in mind to be subject to rulers and authorities, to be obedient, to be ready to every good work,

⁸ Faithful is the Word, and as to these things, I desire that you strongly affirm that those believing God might be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable to men.

¹⁴ And let ours also learn to maintain good works for necessary uses, so that they may not be unfruitful.

³ who being the shining splendor of His glory, and the express image of His essence, and upholding all things by the word of His power, through Himself cleansing of our sins, He sat down on the right of the Majesty on high,

¹³ Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in His sight, but all things are naked and opened to the eyes of Him with whom we have to do.

¹⁵ For we do not have a high priest who cannot be touched with the feelings of our infirmities, but was in all points tempted just as we are, yet without sin.

⁷ For Jesus, in the days of His flesh, when He had offered up prayers and supplications with strong cryings and tears to Him who was able to save Him from death, and was heard in that He feared,

⁷ For Jesus, in the days of His flesh, when He had offered up prayers and supplications with strong cryings and tears to Him who was able to save Him from death, and was heard in that He feared, ⁸ though being a Son, yet He learned obedience by the things which He suffered.

¹⁰ For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labor of love which you have shown toward His name, in that you have ministered to the saints, and do minister.

¹⁴ how much more shall the blood of Christ (who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without spot to God) purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God? ¹⁵ And for this cause He is the Mediator of the new covenant, so that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first covenant, those who are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance. ¹⁶ For where a covenant is, the death of him covenanting must be offered. ¹⁷ For a covenant is affirmed over those dead, since it never has force when The one covenanting is living. ¹⁸ From which we see that neither was the first covenant dedicated without blood. ¹⁹ For when Moses had spoken every precept to all the people according to the Law, he took the blood of calves and of goats, with water and scarlet wool and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book, and all the people, ²⁰ saying, "This is the blood of the covenant which God has enjoined to you." ²¹ And likewise he sprinkled with blood both the tabernacle and all the vessels of the ministry. ²² And almost all things are by the law purged with blood, and without shedding of blood is no remission.

²⁸ so Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many. And to those who look for Him He shall appear the second time without sin to salvation.

⁴ For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins. ⁵ Therefore when He comes into the world, He says, "Sacrifice and offering You did not desire, but You have prepared a body for Me. ⁶ In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin You have had no pleasure. ⁷ Then I said, Lo, I come (in the volume of the Book it is written of Me) to do Your will, O God." ⁸ Above, when He said, "Sacrifice and offering, and burnt offerings and offering for sin You did not desire, neither did You have pleasure in them" (which are offered according to the Law), ⁹ then He said, "Lo, I come to do Your will, O God." He takes away the first so that He may establish the second. ¹⁰ By this will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. ¹¹ And indeed every priest stands daily ministering and offering often the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins. ¹² But this Man, after He had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down on the right of God, ¹³ from then on expecting until His enemies are made His footstool. ¹⁴ For by one offering He has perfected forever those who are sanctified.

² looking to Jesus the Author and Finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and sat down at the right of the throne of God.

²⁰ Now may the God of peace (who brought again our Lord Jesus from the dead, that great Shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant) ²¹ make you perfect in every good work to do His will, working in you that which is well pleasing in His sight through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen.

⁶ You have condemned and murdered the just; he does not resist you.

⁵ by the power of God, having been kept through faith to a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time;

¹⁰ About which salvation the prophets sought out and searched out, prophesying concerning the grace for you; ¹¹ searching for what, or what manner of time, the Spirit of Christ made clear within them, testifying beforehand of the sufferings of Christ, and the glories that should follow.

¹⁷ And if you call on the Father, who without respect of persons judges according to the work of each one, pass the time of your earthly residence in fear,

⁴ For having been drawn to Him, a living Stone, indeed rejected by men, but elect, precious with God; ⁵ you also as living stones are built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. ⁶ Therefore also it is contained in the Scripture: "Behold, I lay in Zion a chief corner Stone, elect, precious, and he who believes on Him shall never be ashamed." ⁷ Therefore to you who believe is the honor. But to those who are disobedient, He is the Stone which the builders rejected; this One came to be the Head of the corner, ⁸ and a Stone-of-stumbling and a Rock-of-offense to those disobeying, who stumble at the Word, to which they also were appointed.

¹² having your conduct honest among the nations, in that which they speak against you as evildoers, they may glorify God in a day of His visitation, seeing your good works.

²¹ For you were not called to this? For Christ also suffered on our behalf, leaving us an example, that you should follow His steps, ²² He who did no sin, nor was guile found in His mouth, ²³ who when He was reviled did not revile in return. When He suffered, He did not threaten, but gave Himself up to Him who judges righteously.

²³ who when He was reviled did not revile in return. When He suffered, He did not threaten, but gave Himself up to Him who judges righteously. ²⁴ He Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that dying to sins, we might live to righteousness; by whose stripes you were healed.

⁹ Never give back evil for evil, or reviling for reviling, but on the contrary, giving blessing, knowing that you are called to this so that you might inherit blessing.

¹⁶ having a good conscience, that while they speak against you as evildoers they may be shamed, those falsely accusing your good behavior in Christ.

¹⁸ For Christ also once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God, indeed being put to death in the flesh, but made alive in the Spirit;

⁷ But the end of all things has drawn near. Therefore be of sound mind, and be sensible to prayers.

⁵ Likewise, younger ones, be subject to older ones, and all being subject to one another. Put on humility. For God resists proud ones, but He gives grace to the humble. ⁶ Therefore be humbled under the mighty hand of God, so that He may exalt you in due time,

⁸ Be sensible and vigilant, because your adversary the Devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking someone he may devour;

³ And through covetousness they will use you for gain with well-turned words; for whom judgment from of old does not linger, and their destruction does not sleep.

⁷ And He delivered righteous Lot, oppressed with the lustful behavior of the lawless. ⁸ For that righteous one living among them, in seeing and hearing, his righteous soul was tormented from day to day with their unlawful deeds. ⁹ The Lord knows how to deliver the godly out of temptation, and to reserve the unjust for a day of judgment, to be punished,

⁹ The Lord knows how to deliver the godly out of temptation, and to reserve the unjust for a day of judgment, to be punished,

¹⁴ having eyes full of adultery and never ceasing from sin, alluring unstable souls, having a heart exercised with covetousness. They are cursed children ¹⁵ who have forsaken the right way and have gone astray, following the way of Balaam the son of Beor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness,

¹⁵ who have forsaken the right way and have gone astray, following the way of Balaam the son of Beor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness,

² And He is the propitiation concerning our sins, and not concerning ours only, but also concerning the sins of all the world.

¹⁷ But whoever has this world's goods and sees his brother having need, and shuts up his bowels from him, how does the love of God dwell in him?

¹¹ And this is the record, that God has given to us everlasting life, and this life is in His Son. ¹² He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life. ¹³ I have written these things to you who believe on the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have everlasting life, and that you may believe on the name of the Son of God.

¹⁴ And Enoch, the seventh from Adam, also prophesied to these, saying, Behold, the Lord came with myriads of His saints,

⁷ Behold, He comes with the clouds, and every eye will see Him, and those who pierced Him will see Him, and all the kindreds of the earth will wail because of Him. Even so, Amen.

²³ And I will kill her children with death. And all the churches will know that I am He who searches the reins and hearts, and I will give to every one of you according to your works.

¹⁰ Because you have kept the Word of My patience, I also will keep you from the hour of temptation which will come upon all the habitable world, to try those who dwell upon the earth.

¹⁹ As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten; therefore be zealous and repent.

⁸ And when He had taken the book, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each one having harps and golden vials full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints. ⁹ And they sang a new song, saying, You are worthy to take the book and to open its seals, for You were slain and have redeemed us to God by Your blood out of every kindred and tongue and people and nation. ¹⁰ And You made us kings and priests to our God, and we will reign over the earth.

⁹ After these things I looked, and lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, out of all nations and kindreds and people and tongues, stood before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, with palms in their hands.

¹⁴ And I said to him, Sir, you know. And he said to me, These are the ones who came out of the great tribulation and have washed their robes, and have whitened them in the blood of the Lamb.

¹⁷ For the Lamb who is in the midst of the throne will feed them and will lead them to the fountains of living waters. And God will wipe away all tears from their eyes.

¹⁰ He who leads into captivity will go into captivity. If anyone will kill with the sword, he must be killed by a sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.

³ And they sang as it were a new song before the throne and before the four living creatures and the elders. And no one could learn that song except the hundred and forty-four thousands who were redeemed from the earth.

⁶ And I saw another angel flying in mid-heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach to those dwelling on the earth, even to every nation and kindred and tongue and people,

⁶ since they have poured out the blood of the saints and prophets; and You gave them blood to drink, for they were deserving.

¹⁵ Behold, I am coming as a thief. Blessed is the one who watches and keeps his garments, lest he walk naked and they see his shame.

¹⁰ And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said to me, See, do not do it! I am your fellow servant, and of your brothers who have the testimony of Jesus. Worship God, for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.

¹¹ And I saw a great white throne, and Him sitting on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away. And a place was not found for them.

⁸ But the fearful, and the unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, will have their part in the Lake burning with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.
