He is not intending to go to the Dispersion among the Greeks and to teach the Greeks, is he? ³⁶ "What does he mean saying, 'You shall seek me and you shall not find me,' and 'Where I am you cannot come'?"

⁷ But Jesus stooped down, and began to write on the ground with his finger. When they continued to question him, he raised himself and said to them, "Let the innocent man among you be the first to throw the stone at her." ⁸ Then he stooped down again, and again began to write on the ground. ⁹ When they heard that, they went out one by one, beginning with the eldest. And Jesus was left behind alone—and the woman in the middle of the court. ¹⁰ Then Jesus raised himself up and said to her. "Woman, where are they? Has no man condemn you,"

²¹ Then again he said them. "I am going away, and you will seek me, and you will die in your sins. Where I am going, you cannot come." ²² Then the Jews said: "He will not kill himself, will he? Is that why he says, 'Where I am going you cannot come'?" ²³ And he said to them. "You are from below. I am from above; you are of this world, I am not of this world. ²⁴ "That is why I said that you would die in your sins. For if you do not believe that I am He, you will die in your sins."

⁴⁸ In reply the Jews said to him, "Are we not right in saying that you are a Samaritan, and you also have a demon?"

⁷ Then he said to him, "Go, wash in the pool of Siloam" (a word which means "sent"). So the man went and washed his eyes, and came back seeing.

³⁸ "I do believe, Sir," said the man, and he prostrated himself at his feet. And Jesus said,

¹⁰ but if any one walks during the night he does stumble, because the light is not in him."

²⁵ He who loves his life loses it; and he who regards not his life in this world shall keep it for eternal life.

³⁵ "The Light is among you a little longer," answered Jesus. "Walk while you have the Light, lest darkness overtake you. He who walks in the darkness does not know where he is going.

³⁸ So the words spoken by Isaiah, the prophet, were fulfilled. Lord, who hath believed our message, And to whom hath the Arm of the Lord been revealed?

³³ "My little children, I am only to be with you a little longer. You will seek me; just as I said to the Jews, 'Where I go you cannot come,' so now I say to you.

⁵ "But now I go my way to Him who sent me, yet none of you asks me, 'Where are you going?' ⁶ "but sorrow has filled your hearts because I have told you these things. ⁷ "Yet—I am telling you the truth—my going is for your good. For unless I go away the Comforter will not come to you; but if I depart I will send him unto you.

¹⁶ "In a little while you shall behold me no more; and again in a little while you shall see me, because I am going to the Father." ¹⁷ At this some of his disciples said among themselves. "What does he mean by telling us, 'In a little while you shall behold me no more; and again in a little while you shall see me,' and 'because I am going to the Father'?" ¹⁸ So they kept asking. "What does that 'little while' mean of which he speaks? We do not know what he is talking about." ¹⁹ Jesus perceived that they wanted to ask him, and said: "Are you questioning one another about my saying, 'A little while and you shall behold me no more, and again a little while you shall see me'? ²⁰ I tell you solemnly that you will be weeping and wailing while the world is rejoicing; you will be grief-stricken, but your grief shall be turned into gladness. ²¹ A woman in labor has grief because her hour is come; but when she has given birth to the babe she no longer remembers her anguish, because of joy that a child has been born into the world. ²² So you also have sorrow now, but I will see you again and your heart will rejoice, and your joy shall no man snatch away from you.

¹¹ I am no longer in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own Name these whom thou hast given me, that they may be one as we are one. ¹² While I was with them I kept them by the power of thy name which thou hast given me. I guarded them, and none of them was lost except the son of perdition, that the Scripture might be fulfilled. ¹³ "But now I am coming to thee, and I am speaking these things while I am in the world, so that they may have my joy in all its fulness in themselves.

³⁶ Jesus answered him. "My kingdom is not of this world. If my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants have fought hard that I should not be handed the Jews; but in reality my kingdom is not of such origins."

¹⁵ When they were through breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, "Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these others do?" "Yes, Lord, you know that you are dear to me." he answered. Jesus said to him, "Feed my lambs."

⁶ So, when they came together, they began to ask him, "Master, are you at this time about to restore the kingdom of Israel?" ⁷ He answered. "It is not for you to know times and occasions which the Father has fixed in his own authority; ⁸ "yet you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you, and you are to be my witnesses both in Jerusalem and in all Judea, and in Samaria, and to the very ends of the earth."

⁵ Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and began to preach Christ there. ⁶ The crowd with one accord were giving heed to what he said, when they heard and saw the signs that he did. ⁷ For with a loud cry unclean spirits would come out of many possessed by them, and many that were palsied and lame were healed. ⁸ There began to be great joy in that city. ⁹ Now for some time a man named Simon had been practicing sorcery in that city, and had amazed the people of Samaria. He gave himself out to be some great person. ¹⁰ Many from all classes would give heed to him, declaring, "This man is the Power of God, known as the Great Power." ¹¹ They were giving heed to him because, for a long time, he had amazed them with his sorceries. ¹² But when they believed Philip, who was preaching glad tidings about the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, they began to be baptized, both men and women. ¹³ And Simon himself also believed, and after his baptism he remained with Philip, and was full of amazement as he beheld the signs and striking miracles which were performed. ¹⁴ The apostle at Jerusalem, when they heard that Samaria had accepted the word of God, sent to them Peter and John. ¹⁵ Who came down and prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Spirit, ¹⁶ For he had not yet fallen upon any of them; they had simply been baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. ¹⁷ Then the apostles laid their hands upon them, and they received the Holy Spirit. ¹⁸ But when Simon perceived that, by the laying on of the apostles' hands, the Spirit was given, he offered them money saying, ¹⁹ "Give me, too, this power, so that on whomever I lay my hands, he may receive the Holy Spirit." ²⁰ But Peter said to him. "Your money perish with you, because you have supposed that with money you can obtain God's free gift!" ²¹ "You have no part or lot in this matter." Your heart is not right in the sight of God. ²² Repent then of this your wickedness, and beseech the Lord to forgive you this purpose of your heart. ²³ "For I perceive that you still stand in the gall of bitterness and in the bondage of unrighteousness." ²⁴ And Simon answered, "Pray to the Lord for me, both of you, that nothing which you have said may happen to me." ²⁵ So the apostles, after bearing solemn witness, and declaring the message of the Lord, returned to Jerusalem, evangelizing many Samaritan villages as they went.

²⁵ When Peter entered the house Cornelius met him, fell at his feet, and worshiped him; ²⁶ but Peter lifted him up. "Stand up," he said, "I am only a man, myself."

²¹ For although they knew God, yet they did not glorify him as God, nor give him thanks; but became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless minds were darkened.

¹² All have swerved from the right path; Every one of them has become corrupt. There is none that practices good, no, not one.

⁴ But what was the answer of God to him? I have reserved for myself seven thousand who have not bowed the knee to Baal. ⁵ In the same way also at this time there is a remnant chosen by gift of grace. ⁶ But if it is by grace, it is no longer of works; or else grace is no more grace. ⁷ What then? that which Israel has been seeking for, that he has not obtained; but the chosen have obtained it, and the rest have been hardened.

³⁵ Who has first given to Him, So as to receive payment in return?

²⁰ On the contrary, therefore, If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him drink; for by so doing you will be heaping burning coals on his head.

¹³ So let us no longer pass judgment on one another; rather let this be your judgment, that no one put a stumbling-block in his brother's way, nor any cause of falling.

¹⁷ For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking, but of righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.

²⁰ Do not, for the sake of food, be tearing down God's work. All food indeed is ceremonially clean, but a man is in the wrong if his food proves a stumbling-block. ²¹ The right course is not to eat meat, nor to drink wine, nor to do anything through which your brother is made to stumble.

¹⁷ I exhort you, brothers, to keep watch of those who are causing the divisions among you, and occasions of stumbling, contrary to the teaching which you have learned.

⁷ so that you lack no divine gift, while you are waiting for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ.

¹¹ So he is lost, this weak man, lost by your "knowledge." this brother for whom Christ died. ¹² In so sinning against your brothers, and in ever and again wounding their weak consciences, you are sinning against Christ. ¹³ Therefore, if what I eat makes my brother to stumble, I will never eat meat again, lest I make my brother to stumble.

¹⁵ But for my part, I have never availed myself of any of these rights. I do not say this to bring it about in my own case. I would rather die than let any one make void this boast of mine. ¹⁶ Proclaiming the gospel gives me no ground of boasting; for necessity is laid upon me; woe is me if I preach not the gospel. ¹⁷ For if I do this of my own accord, I have my pay; but if unwilling, I have at least discharged my stewardship.

²² I am become weak to the weak, to win the weak. I am become all these things to all men that, by any and by all means, I may save some.

⁶ Now this happened as a warning for us, that we might not long for evil things as they longed. ⁷ And you must not be idolaters like some of them. as it is written, The people sat down to eat and drink, And they rose up for idol dances. ⁸ Nor must we act licentiously, as some of them did, and fell in a single day, twenty-three thousand of them. ⁹ Neither must we presume upon the patience of our Lord, as some of them presumed, and were destroyed by the serpents; ¹⁰ nor murmur, as some of them did, and were destroyed by the Destroying Angel. ¹¹ Now these things were happening to them typically, but were written down for our admonition who stand at the meeting of the ages. ¹² So then let him who imagines that he is standing so securely beware lest he fall.

³² Do not be a cause of stumbling either to Jews of to Gentiles, or to the church of God.

¹⁹ For there must needs be also parties among you, in order that the good may be tested and made known.

² Though I have the gift of prophecy and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.

⁴ Love suffers long and is kind; love envies not; love makes no parade, is not puffed up, ⁵ is not rude, nor selfish, nor easily provoked. Love bears no malice, never rejoices over wrong-doing, ⁶ but rejoices when the truth rejoices. ⁷ It knows how to be silent, it is trustful, hopeful, patient, enduring.

⁹ For I am the least of the apostles, I who am not worthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. ¹⁰ But by the grace of God I am what I am, and that grace of his, bestowed upon me, did not prove ineffectual. I labored more abundantly than all the rest, yet not I, but by the grace of God that is with me.

⁸ Concerning this, three times over I supplicated the Lord that it might leave me; ⁹ but he has answered me. "My grace is sufficient for you; it is in weakness that my power is perfected." ¹⁰ Most gladly therefore will I boast rather of my weakness, that over me like a tent may be pitched the power of Christ. That is why I rejoice in weakness, in ill-treatment, in troubles, in persecutions and calamities for Christ's sake. For when I am weak, then am I strong.

¹¹ But when Cephas came to Antioch I resisted him to his face, because he stood self-condemned. ¹² For until certain men came from James he used to eat with the Gentile Christians, but when they came, he began to draw back and to separate himself, because he was afraid of the circumcision party. ¹³ And the rest of the Jewish Christians also dissimulated with him, so that even Barnabas was carried away by their hypocrisy. ¹⁴ But when I saw that they were not walking a straight path, in the presence of the truth of the gospel, I said to Cephas before them all. "If you, although you are a Jew, live like the Gentiles and not like the Jews, why do you try to compel the Gentiles to become Jews?

³¹ Banish from among you all bitterness and passion and anger and clamor and slander, as well as all malice; ³² and be kind to one another, tender-hearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ has forgiven you.

¹⁵ See to it, then, that you carry on your life carefully; not as foolish, but as wise men.

⁷ But what was once gain to me, that I have counted loss for Christ. ⁸ In very truth I count all things but loss compared to the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have suffered the loss of all things, and esteem them but refuse that I may gain Christ,

⁸ In very truth I count all things but loss compared to the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have suffered the loss of all things, and esteem them but refuse that I may gain Christ, ⁹ and be found in him; not having my own righteousness of the Law, but that alone which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which comes from God, founded upon faith.

¹³ I am strong for everything in Him who gives me strength.

²⁷ To them God willed to make known among the Gentiles how glorious are the riches of that secret truth, which is "Christ in you, the hope of glory."

¹² Therefore, as God's chosen people, consecrated and beloved, clothe yourselves with tenderness of heart, kindness, humility, gentleness, good temper; ¹³ bearing with one another and forgiving each other, if any one has a grievance against another. Just as Christ the Lord forgave you, so must you forgive.

¹⁶ They forbid me to speak to the Gentiles with a view to their salvation. They continue always to fill up the measure of their sins; but the wrath of God is come upon them to the full!

¹⁶ For the Lord himself with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God will descend from heaven. Then the dead in Christ will rise first. ¹⁷ And afterwards we who are alive, who remain, shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air; and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

¹ Now as to the times and the seasons, brothers, you have no need that anything be written to you. ² You yourselves know perfectly that the Day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night.

² You yourselves know perfectly that the Day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night. ³ While men are saying "Peace and safety," then, like birth-pangs upon a woman with child, destruction will come upon them suddenly. In no wise will they escape.

³ I ought always to thank God for you, brothers, as is fitting because of the abundant growth of your faith and of the overflowing love with which every one of you is filled toward one another.

⁷ and give to you, who are now troubled, rest, along with me at the unveiling "apocalypse" of the Lord Jesus from heaven, with his mighty angels,

² not to be "quickly shaken out of your wits" and not to be agitated either by a spirit or by a message, or by an epistle purporting to be from me, saying, "The Day of the Lord is at hand."

⁸ and then the lawless one will be revealed. Him the Lord will consume with the breath of his lips, and destroy with the brightness of his appearing;

¹⁰ and with all deceit of unrighteousness for those who are perishing, because they did not receive the love of the truth for their salvation. ¹¹ For this reason God is sending on them an energy of delusion, that they should put faith in a falsehood; ¹² so that they all should be condemned, who are faithless to the truth, but take pleasure in evil.

¹³ But you, brothers, must not grow weary in well-doing. ¹⁴ If any man does not give heed to what I have said in this letter, mark that man; do not associate with him, so as to make him feel ashamed;

¹¹ Once you found him "unprofitable," but now he is "profitable" to you and to me.

³⁸ But it is by faith that my Righteous One will live, And if he draws back, my soul takes no pleasure in him. ³⁹ "But we are not of defections unto perdition, but of faith unto the gaining of the soul."

⁷ By faith Noah, warned of God of things not yet seen, reverently gave heed, and built an ark for the saving of his house; by which he condemned the world, and became an heir of the righteousness which is of faith.

² looking unto Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured a cross, despising shame, and has now taken his seat at the right hand of the throne of God.

¹⁵ Look carefully that there be no one who falls back from the grace of God; that no root of bitterness springs up to trouble you, and by its means many become defiled.

¹ Go to now, you rich men! Weep aloud, howl for the miseries which are about to come upon you! ² For your riches lie rotting, and your clothing has become moth-eaten. ³ Your gold and silver are rusted. and their rust will be for a testimony against you, and it will eat your flesh. For you have been storing up fire in these last days! ⁴ Look! the wages of the laborers who mowed your fields, which you have been keeping back by fraud, are crying aloud! And the cries of the reapers have entered into the ears of the Lord of Sabaoth! ⁵ You have lived luxuriously on earth, you have taken your pleasure, you have fattened your hearts for a day of slaughter.

⁸ So you also must be patient. Stablish your hearts; for the coming of the Lord is at hand!

¹⁹ My brothers, if any one of you strays from the truth, and some one brings him back,

⁷ These are in order that the test of your faith, more precious than gold that is perishable and yet is tested by fire, may redound to praise and glory and honor, at the revelation of Jesus Christ.

¹³ So then brace up your minds, be steady in spirit, and fix your hope firmly in the grace that is coming to you, at the revelation of Jesus Christ.

²² Now that by obedience to the truth you have purified your lives for a brotherly love without hypocrisy, you must love one another from your hearts, fervently. ²³ For you have been born anew, not of perishable, but of imperishable seed, by the living, lasting word of God.

¹⁹ (It was in spirit that he went and preached the Word to the spirits who were in prison, ²⁰ who in old times had been disobedient, when God's longsuffering was waiting in the days of Noah, while an ark was building, in which a few persons—eight in number—were saved by water.)

¹³ But be glad in the degree in which you share in the sufferings of Christ; so that when his glory shall be revealed, you too may be glad with triumphant gladness.

⁵ You younger men must submit to the presbyters; and all of you must put on the garment of humility and serve one another, for God resists the haughty, But gives grace to the humble. ⁶ So humble yourselves under God's mighty hand, so that he may exalt you in due time.

¹ But there were false prophets, too, among the people, just as among you also there will be false teachers. These will secretly bring in destructive sects, denying even the Master who bought them, and bringing swift ruin upon themselves. ² Then there will be many who will follow their immorality, because of whom the Way of the Truth will be maligned. ³ In their covetousness, with cunning words, they will make merchandise of you; those whose doom has not been idle from of old, and whose destruction has not been slumbering.

⁵ if he did not spare the ancient world, but preserved Noah, a herald of righteousness, with seven others, when he brought a flood upon an ungodly world; ⁶ if he condemned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah and reduced them to ashes, thus holding them up as a warning to all who would live ungodly;

⁹ then be sure that the Lord knows how to deliver the godly out of temptation, and to keep the wicked (who are even now enduring punishment) for the "Day of Judgment";

¹⁸ For speaking great swelling words of vanity, they entangle, by their lasciviousness, in the lusts of the flesh, those who are just about to escape from the men that live in misconduct. ¹⁹ They promise them liberty, while they themselves are slaves of rottenness! (For indeed a man is the slave of anything which masters him.) ²⁰ For if, after having escaped the pollutions of the world, through the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, men are again entangled in them and overpowered, their last state is become worse than their first. ²¹ Indeed it would have been better for them not to have known the Way of Righteousness, than, after knowing it, to turn back from the holy command delivered to them. ²² In their case it has happened according to the true proverb, The dog returns again to his own vomit, and The sow, after washing, to her wallowing in the mire.

⁶ and that by the same means the world which then existed was destroyed by a deluge of water.

¹⁰ But the Day of the Lord will come like a thief; and on that Day the heavens will vanish with a crash, the heavenly bodies will melt with fervent heat, and the earth and all its works will be burned up.

⁸ Watch yourselves, that you do not lose what we have wrought, but that you receive a full reward.

⁷ So also Sodom and Gomorrah and the near-by cities which in like manner glutted themselves in sensuality and unnatural vice, are exhibited as a warning of the eternal fire, in the punishment they undergo.

⁷ Behold, he is about to come among the clouds; and every eye will see him, and all the tribes of the earth will mourn over him. So shall it be, Amen.

¹⁰ Fear not what you are about to suffer! Behold, the devil is indeed going to put some of you in prison, that you may be tested, and you will have persecution for ten days. Be faithful even unto death, and I will give you the crown of life.

¹⁴ But I have a few things against you, because you have there some who hold to the teaching of Balaam, who taught Balak to put a stumbling-block before the sons of Israel, to eat food offered to idols, and to practise immorality.

²⁰ But I have this against you, that you are tolerating that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess, and she is teaching and leading my slaves astray, leading them to practise immorality, and to eat food which has been sacrificed to idols.

¹⁰ the four and twenty Elders fall down before Him who sits on the throne, and worship Him who lives forever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying.

¹⁴ And the four Living Creatures kept saying, "Amen!" And the Elders fell down and worshiped.

⁸ And their dead bodies lie in the streets of the great city whose mystical name is 'Sodom' and 'Egypt'—where also their Lord was crucified.

¹⁴ And he deceives those who dwell on the earth, because of the miracles, which he is permitted to perform in the sight of the beast. He tells those who live on the earth to make an image to the beast who had the sword-stroke, yet lived. ¹⁵ And he was permitted to give breath to the image of the beast, so that the image of the beast should speak; and so that any one who would not worship the image of the beast should be put to death. ¹⁶ And he makes all men, low and high, rich and poor, freemen and slaves, to have a brand put upon their right hands or upon their brows, ¹⁷ so that no one can buy or sell unless he has the brand of the beast, or the number of his name. ¹⁸ Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding count the number of the beast; for it is the number of a man; and his number is 666.

⁷ And he cried with a loud voice. "Fear God and give him glory, Because the hour of his judgment is come. And worship Him who made the heavens and the earth And the sea and springs of waters."

⁴ Then the four and twenty Elders and the four beasts fell down and worshiped God who sits on the throne, saying, "Amen, Hallelujah!" ⁵ And a voice came forth from the throne, saying, "Praise our God, all you his slaves, All you who fear him, small and great!"

¹⁰ And I fell down at his feet to worship him, and he said to me. "See that you do it not. I am a fellow slave of yours and of your brothers who hold the testimony of Jesus; for the testimony of Jesus is the vital breath of prophecy."

¹⁷ And I saw an angel standing in the sun, who shouted in a loud voice to all the birds that fly in mid-heaven, "Come, gather yourselves together to the great supper of God, ¹⁸ to eat the flesh of kings, the flesh of generals, the flesh of horses and their riders, and the flesh of all men, bond and free, small and great."
