¹ The feast of sweet bread drew nigh, which is called Easter, ² and the high priests, and scribes sought how to kill him, but they feared the people. ³ Then entered Satan into Judas, whose surname was Iscariot, which was of the number of the twelve: ⁴ and he went his way, and communed with the high priests and officers, how he might betray him to them. ⁵ And they were glad: and promised to give him money. ⁶ And he consented, and sought opportunity to betray him unto them, when the people were away. ⁷ Then came the day of sweet bread, when of necessity the Easter lamb must be offered. ⁸ And he sent Peter and John, saying, "Go and prepare us the Easter lamb, that we may eat." ⁹ They said to him, "Where wilt thou, that we prepare?" ¹⁰ And he said unto them, "Behold, when ye be entered into the city, there shall a man meet you bearing a pitcher of water, him follow into the same house that he entereth in, ¹¹ and ye shall say unto the good man of the house, 'The master sayeth unto thee, Where is the guest chamber where I shall eat mine Easter lamb with my disciples?' ¹² And he shall show you a great parlour paved. There make ready." ¹³ And they went and found, as he had said unto them: and made ready the Easter lamb. ¹⁴ And when the hour was come, he sat down: and the twelve apostles with him. ¹⁵ And he said unto them, "I have inwardly desired to eat this Easter lamb with you before that I suffer. ¹⁶ For I say unto you, Henceforth, I will not eat of it any more, until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God." ¹⁷ And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and said, "Take this, and divide it among you. ¹⁸ For I say unto you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God be come." ¹⁹ And he took bread, gave thanks, and brake it, and gave it unto them, saying, "This is my body which is given for you. This do in the remembrance of me." ²⁰ Likewise also, when they had supped, he took the cup saying, "This cup is the new testament, in my blood, which shall for you be shed. ²¹ "Yet behold, the hand of him that betrayeth me, is with me on the table. ²² And the son of man goeth as it is appointed: But woe be to that man by whom he is betrayed." ²³ And they began to enquire among themselves, which of them it should be, that should do that. ²⁴ And there was a strife among them, which of them should be taken for the greatest. ²⁵ And he said unto them, "The kings of the gentiles reign over them; And they that bear rule over them, are called gracious Lords. ²⁶ But ye shall not be so. But he that is greatest among you, shall be as the youngest: And he that is chief, shall be as the minister. ²⁷ For whether is greater, he that sitteth at meat: or he that serveth? Is not he that sitteth at meat? And I am among you, as he that ministereth. ²⁸ Ye are they which have bidden with me in my temptations. ²⁹ And I appoint unto you a kingdom, as my father hath appointed to me: ³⁰ that ye may eat, and drink at my table in my kingdom and sit on seats, and judge the twelve tribes of Israel." ³¹ And the Lord said, "Simon, Simon, behold Satan hath desired you, to sift you, as it were wheat: ³² But I have prayed for thee that thy faith fail not. And when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren." ³³ And he said unto him, "Lord, I am ready to go with thee into prison, and to death." ³⁴ And he said, "I tell thee Peter, the cock shall not crow this day, till thou have thrice denied that thou knowest me." ³⁵ And he said unto them, "When I sent you without wallet, and scrip, and shoes, lacked ye anything?" And they said, "No." ³⁶ And he said to them, "But now he that hath a wallet let him take it up, and likewise his scrip. And he that hath no sword, let him sell his coat and buy one. ³⁷ For I say unto you that, yet, that which is written must be performed in me: for those things which are written of me have an end." ³⁸ And they said, "Lord, behold here are two swords." And he said unto them, "It is enough." ³⁹ And he came out: and went, as he was wont, to Mount Olivet. And the disciples followed him. ⁴⁰ And when he came to the place, he said to them, "Pray, lest ye fall into temptation." ⁴¹ And he gat himself from them, about a stone's cast, and kneeled down, and prayed, ⁴² saying, "Father if thou wilt, withdraw this cup from me. Nevertheless, not my will; But thine be fulfilled." ⁴³ And there appeared an angel unto him from heaven, comforting him. ⁴⁴ And he was in agony, and prayed somewhat longer: And his sweat was like drops of blood, trickling down to the ground. ⁴⁵ And he rose up from prayer, and came to his disciples, and found them sleeping for sorrow, ⁴⁶ and said unto them, "Why sleep ye? Rise, and pray lest ye fall into temptation." ⁴⁷ While he yet spake: behold, there came a company: and he that was called Judas, one of the twelve, went before them, and pressed nigh unto Jesus to kiss him. ⁴⁸ And Jesus said unto him, "Judas, betrayest thou the son of man with a kiss?" ⁴⁹ When they which were about him saw what would follow, they said unto him, "Lord, shall we smite with a sword?" ⁵⁰ And one of them smote a servant of him which was the highest priest of all, and smote off his right ear. ⁵¹ And Jesus answered, and said, "Suffer ye thus far forth." And he touched his ear, and healed him. ⁵² Then Jesus said unto the high priests and rulers of the temple and the elders which were come to him, "Be ye come out, as unto a thief: with swords and staves? ⁵³ When I was daily with you in the temple, ye stretched not forth hands against me. But this is even your very hour, and the power of darkness." ⁵⁴ Then took they him, and led him, and brought him to the high priest's house. And Peter followed afar off. ⁵⁵ When they had kindled a fire in the midst of the palace, and were set down together, Peter also sat down among them. ⁵⁶ And one of the wenches, as he sat, beheld him by the fire and set good eyesight on him, and said, "This same was also with him." ⁵⁷ Then he denied him, saying, "Woman I know him not." ⁵⁸ And after a little while, another saw him and said, "Thou art also of them." And Peter said, "Man I am not." ⁵⁹ And about the space of a hour after, another affirmed, saying, "Verily even this fellow was with him, for he is of Galilee." ⁶⁰ And Peter said, "Man, I know not what thou sayest." And immediately while he yet spake, the cock crew. ⁶¹ And the Lord turned back and looked upon Peter. And Peter remembered the words of the Lord, how he said unto him, "Before the cock crow thou shalt deny me thrice." ⁶² And Peter went out, and wept bitterly. ⁶³ And the men that stood about Jesus, mocked him, and smote him, ⁶⁴ and blindfolded him, and smote his face. And asked him, saying, "Aread who it is that smote thee?" ⁶⁵ And many other things despitefully said they against him. ⁶⁶ And as soon as it was day, the elders of the people, and the high priests and scribes, came together, and led him into their council saying, ⁶⁷ "Art thou very Christ? Tell us." And he said unto them, "If I shall tell you, ye will not believe. ⁶⁸ And if also I ask you, ye will not answer me, or let me go. ⁶⁹ Hereafter shall the son of man sit on the righthand of the power of God." ⁷⁰ Then said they all, "Art thou then the son of God?" He said to them, "Ye say that I am." ⁷¹ Then said they, "What need we any further witness? We ourselves have heard of his own mouth."

There shall be no manner of work done in them, save about that only which every man must eat: that only may ye do. ¹⁷ And see that ye keep you to unleavened bread.

¹ For the law — which hath but the shadow of good things to come, and not the things in their own fashion — can never with the sacrifices which they offer year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect. ² For would not then those sacrifices have ceased to have been offered? Because that the offerers, once purged, should have had no more consciences of sins. ³ Nevertheless, in those sacrifices is there mention made of sins every year. ⁴ For it is impossible that the blood of oxen, and of goats should take away sins. ⁵ Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, "Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not have: but a body hast thou ordained me. ⁶ In sacrifices and sin offerings thou hast no lust. ⁷ Then I said, 'Lo I come.' In the chiefest of the book it is written of me, that I should do thy will, o God." ⁸ Above when he had said, "sacrifice, and offering, and burnt sacrifices, and sin offerings thou wouldest not have, neither hast allowed" — which yet are offered by the law - ⁹ And then he said, "Lo I am come to do thy will o God." He taketh away the first to establish the latter. ¹⁰ By the which will we are sanctified, by the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

⁹ And he said unto me, "Blessed are they which are called unto the Lamb's supper." And he said unto me, "These are the true sayings of God."

¹⁰ When thou hast eaten therefore and filled thyself, then bless the LORD for the good land which he hath given thee.

¹³ When ye be come into the city, so shall you find him, yer he go up to the hill to eat: for the people will not eat until he come, because he must bless the offering. And then eat they that be bidden to the feast. Now therefore get you up for even now shall ye find him."

⁵ Thou preparest a table before me against mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil, and fillest my cup full.

¹³ I will receive the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of the LORD.

⁷ There shall not one visit another, to mourn with them for their dead, or to comfort them. One shall not offer another the cup of consolation, to forget their heaviness for father and mother.

¹⁶ And he took the five loaves, and the two fishes, and looked up to heaven, and blessed them, and brake, and gave to the disciples, to set before the people.

¹⁹ And he took bread, gave thanks, and brake it, and gave it unto them, saying, "This is my body which is given for you. This do in the remembrance of me."

⁶ He that observeth one day more than another, doth it for the Lord's pleasure. And he that observeth not one day more than another, doth it to please the Lord, also. He that eateth, doth it to please the lord, for he giveth God thanks; and he that eateth not, eateth not to please the Lord withal, and giveth God thanks.

⁴ For all the creatures of God are good: and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving: ⁵ For it is sanctified by the word of God, and prayer.

¹³ And the vine answered, 'Should I leave my wine that cheereth both God and man, and go to be promoted over the trees?'

¹⁵ Thou bringest food out of the earth: wine to make glad the heart of man, oil to make him a cheerful countenance and bread to strengthen man's heart.

⁶ Give strong drink unto such as are condemned to death, and wine unto those that mourn: ⁷ that they may drink it, and forget their misery and adversity.

¹ Come into my garden O my sister, my Spouse: I have gathered my Myrrh with my spice. I will eat my honey and my honeycomb, I will drink my wine and my milk. Eat, O ye friends, drink and be merry, O ye beloved.

⁹ there shall no more wine be drunk with mirth, the beer shall be bitter to them that drink it; ¹⁰ the wicked cities shall be broken down, all houses shall be shut that no man may come in. ¹¹ In the streets shall there be lift up a cry because of wine, all men's cheer shall vanish away, and all joy of the earth shall pass.

⁶ Moreover, the LORD of Hosts shall once prepare a feast for all people upon the hill: A plenteous, costly, pleasant feast, of fat and well-fed beasts, of sweet and most pure things.

¹ Come to the waters, all ye that be thirsty, and ye that have no money. Come buy, that ye may have to eat. Come buy wine and milk, without any money, or money worth.

⁴⁴ In the days of these kings, shall the God of heaven set up an everlasting kingdom, which shall not perish, and his kingdom shall not be given over to another people. Yea, the same shall break and destroy all these kingdoms, but it shall endure forever.

¹⁵ The LORD of Hosts shall defend them, they shall consume and devour, and subdue them with sling stones. They shall drink and rage, as it were through wine. They shall be filled like the basins, and as the horns of the altar.

¹⁷ O how prosperous and goodly a thing shall that be: The corn shall make the young men cheerful, and the new wine the maidens.

¹⁸ And I say also unto thee, that thou art Peter. And upon this rock, I will build my congregation: and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.

²⁹ I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine tree, until that day, when I shall drink it new with you in my father's kingdom."

¹ And he said unto them, "Verily I say unto you: There be some of them that stand here, which shall not taste of death, till they have seen the kingdom of God come with power."

²³ And he took the cup, gave thanks, and gave it to them, and they drank all of it.

²⁵ Verily I say unto you, I will drink no more of this fruit of the vine, until that day that I shall drink it new in the kingdom of God."

²³ And they gave him to drink wine mingled with myrrh, but he received it not.

²⁷ And I tell you of a surety, Some there be, of them that here stand, which shall not taste of death till they see the kingdom of God."

³¹ So likewise ye, when ye see these things come to pass, understand that the kingdom of God is nigh.

¹⁶ For I say unto you, Henceforth, I will not eat of it any more, until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God."

³⁰ Therefore seeing he was a prophet, and knew that God had sworn with an oath to him, that the fruit of his loins should sit on his seat — in that Christ should rise again in the flesh - ³¹ He saw before, and spake of the resurrection of Christ, that his soul should not be left in hell: neither his flesh should see corruption. ³² This Jesus hath God raised up, whereof we all are witnesses. ³³ Since now that he by the righthand of God exalted is, and hath received of the father the promise of the holy ghost, he hath shed forth that which ye now see and hear. ³⁴ For David is not ascended into heaven, but he said, ³⁵ 'The Lord said to my Lord sit on my right hand, until I make thy foes, thy footstool.' ³⁶ So therefore let all the house of Israel know for a surety, that God hath made the same Jesus whom ye have crucified, Lord and Christ."

¹⁸ And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess: but be fulfilled with the spirit, ¹⁹ speaking unto yourselves in psalms, and hymns, and spiritual songs, singing and making melody to the Lord in your hearts,

¹³ Which hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear son,

²⁶ The seven good cows are seven years: and the seven good ears are seven years also, and is but one dream. ²⁷ Likewise, the seven thin and evil favored cows that came out after them, are seven years: and the seven empty and blasted ears shall be seven years of hunger.

⁴ that we should not hide them from the children of the generations to come but to show the honour of the LORD, his mighty and wonderful works that he hath done. ⁵ He made a covenant with Jacob, and gave Israel a law, which he commanded our forefathers to teach their children, ⁶ that their posterity might know it, and the children which were yet unborn, to the intent that when they came up, they might show their children the same;

⁴ The merciful and gracious LORD hath so done his marvelous works, that they ought to be had in remembrance.

⁴ Draw thou me unto thee; we will run after thee. The king hath brought me into his privy chamber: We will be glad and rejoice in thee, we think more of thy love than of wine. They that be righteous love thee.

¹¹ Moreover, he said unto me, "Thou son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel. Behold, they say, 'Our bones are dried up, our hope is gone, we are clean cut off.'

³⁸ And hath delivered thee all things that are among the children of men: the beasts of the field, and the fowls under the heaven, and given thee dominion over them all. Thou art that golden head.

²² Even thou, O king, art the tree: great and strong. Thy greatness increaseth, and reacheth unto the heaven, so doth thy power to the ends of the earth. ²³ But whereas the king saw a watcher, even a holy angel, that came down from heaven, and said, 'Hew down the tree, and destroy it: yet leave the ground of the root in the earth, and bind him upon the plain field with chains of iron and steel: He shall be wet with the dew of heaven, and his part shall be with the beasts of the field, till seven years be come and gone upon him.' ²⁴ This, O king, is the interpretation: yea, it is the very device of him that is highest of all, and it toucheth my lord the king.

⁷ And behold, there was lift up a talent of lead: and lo, a woman sat in the midst of the measure. ⁸ And he said, 'This is ungodliness.' So he cast her into the midst of the measure, and threw the lump of lead up in to a hole.

¹⁹ And he commanded the people to sit down on the grass, and took the five loaves, and the two fishes, and looked up to heaven, and blessed, and brake, and gave the loaves to his disciples, and the disciples gave them to the people.

²⁶ As they did eat, Jesus took bread and gave thanks, brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, "Take. Eat. This is my body." ²⁷ And he took the cup, and thanked, and gave it them, saying, "Drink of it every one. ²⁸ This is my blood of the new testament, that shall be shed for many, for the forgiveness of sins.

²² And as they ate, Jesus took bread, blessed and brake it and gave it to them and said, "Take, eat; This is my body." ²³ And he took the cup, gave thanks, and gave it to them, and they drank all of it. ²⁴ And he said unto them, "This is my blood, of the New Testament, which is shed for many.

¹⁷ And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and said, "Take this, and divide it among you.

²⁰ Likewise also, when they had supped, he took the cup saying, "This cup is the new testament, in my blood, which shall for you be shed.

³⁰ And it came to pass as he sat at meat with them, he took bread, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it unto them.

²³ Howbeit, there came other ships from Tiberias, nigh unto the place where they ate bread, when the Lord had blessed.

⁵¹ I am that living bread, which came down from heaven. If any man eat of this bread, he shall live forever. And the bread that I will give, is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world."

⁴ and did all drink of one manner of spiritual drink. And they drank of that spiritual rock that followed them, Which rock was Christ.

¹⁶ Is not the cup of blessing which we bless, partaking of the blood of Christ? Is not the bread which we break, partaking of the body of Christ?

²³ That which I delivered unto you I received of the Lord. For the Lord Jesus the same night in the which he was betrayed, took bread, ²⁴ and thanked and brake, and said, "Take ye, and eat ye. This is my body which is broken for you. This do ye in the remembrance of me." ²⁵ After the same manner he took the cup when supper was done saying, "This cup is the new testament in my blood, this do as oft as ye drink it, in the remembrance of me." ²⁶ For as often as ye shall eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye shall show the Lord's death, till he come. ²⁷ Wherefore whosoever shall eat of this bread, or drink of the cup unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord. ²⁸ Let a man therefore examine himself, and so let him eat of the bread and drink of the cup. ²⁹ For he that eateth or drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh his own damnation, because he maketh no difference of the Lord's body.

⁴ which gave himself for our sins, to deliver us from this present evil world, through the will of God our father,

²⁵ — For mount Sinai is called Hagar in Arabia, and bordereth upon the city which is now Jerusalem — and is in bondage with her children.

² and walk in love even as Christ loved us, and gave himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice of a sweet savour to God.

¹⁸ In all things give thanks. For this is the will of God in Christ Jesus toward you.

¹⁴ which gave himself for us, to redeem us from all unrighteousness, and to purge us a peculiar people unto himself, fervently given unto good works.

²⁴ which his own self bare our sins in his body on the tree, that we should be delivered from sin and should live in righteousness. By whose stripes ye were healed.

⁸ And Moses took the blood and sprinkled it on the people and said, "Behold, this is the blood of the covenant which the LORD hath made with you upon all these words."

³¹ Behold, the days come, sayeth the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah:

¹¹ Thou also, through the blood of thy covenant, shalt let thy prisoners out of the pit, wherein is no water.

²⁸ This is my blood of the new testament, that shall be shed for many, for the forgiveness of sins.

¹⁶ Is not the cup of blessing which we bless, partaking of the blood of Christ? Is not the bread which we break, partaking of the body of Christ? ¹⁷ Because that we — though we be many — yet are one bread, and one body inasmuch as we all are partakers of one bread. ¹⁸ Behold Israel which walketh carnally. Are not they which eat of the sacrifice, partakers of the altar? ¹⁹ What say I then? That the image is anything? Or that it which is offered to images is anything? ²⁰ Nay, but I say, that these things which the gentiles offer, they offer to devils, and not to God. And I would not that ye should have fellowship with the devils. ²¹ Ye cannot drink of the cup of the Lord, and of the cup of the devils. Ye can not be partakers of the Lord's table, and of the table of devils.

²⁵ After the same manner he took the cup when supper was done saying, "This cup is the new testament in my blood, this do as oft as ye drink it, in the remembrance of me."

⁶ which hath made us able to minister the new testament, not of the letter, but of the spirit. For the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.

⁶ Now hath he obtained a more excellent office, inasmuch as he is the mediator of a better testament, which was made for better promises. ⁷ For if that first testament had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second. ⁸ For in rebuking them he saith, "Behold the days will come, saith the Lord, and I will finish upon the house of Israel, and upon the house of Judah, a new testament; ⁹ not like the testament that I made with their fathers at that time, when I took them by the hands, to lead them out of the land of Egypt; for they continued not in my testament, and I regarded them not, saith the Lord. ¹⁰ For this is the testament that I will make with the house of Israel: After those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws in their minds, and in their hearts, I will write them, and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. ¹¹ And they shall not teach, every man his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, 'know the Lord': For they shall know me, from the least to the most of them. ¹² For I will be merciful over their unrighteousness, and on their sins and on their iniquities." ¹³ In that he saith a new testament, he hath abrogated the old. Now that which is disannulled and waxed old, is ready to vanish away.

¹⁵ And for this cause is he the mediator of the new testament, that through death which chanced for the redemption of those transgressions that were in the first testament, they which were called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance.

¹⁷ For the testament taketh authority when men are dead: For it is of no value as long as he that made it is alive.

²⁴ and to Jesus, the mediator of the new testament, and to the sprinkling of blood that speaketh better than the blood of Abel.

²⁰ The God of peace that brought again from death our Lord Jesus Christ, the great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting testament,

¹⁹ All such as were my most familiars, abhor me: And they whom I loved best, are turned against me.

⁵ Let no man believe his friend, nor put his confidence in a prince. Keep the door of thy mouth, from her that lieth in thy bosom: ⁶ for the son shall put his father to dishonour, the daughter shall rise against her mother, the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law: and a man's foes shall be even they of his own household.

²¹ And as they did eat, he said, "Verily I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me." ²² And they were exceeding sorrowful, and began every one of them to say unto him, "Is it I, master?" ²³ He answered and said, "He that dippeth his hand with me in the dish, the same shall betray me. ²⁴ The son of man goeth as it is written of him: but woe be to that man, by whom the son of man shall be betrayed. It had been good for that man, if he had never been born."

¹⁸ And as they sat at board and ate, Jesus said, "Verily I say unto you, That one of you shall betray me, which eateth with me." ¹⁹ And they began to mourn, and to say to him one by one, "Is it I?" And another said, "Is it I?" ²⁰ He answered, and said unto them, "It is one of the twelve and the same dippeth with me in the platter. ²¹ The son of man goeth, as it is written of him: but woe be to that man, by whom the son of man is betrayed. Good were it for him, if that man had never been born."

¹⁸ "I speak not of you all: I know whom I have chosen: But that the scripture be fulfilled, He that eateth bread with me hath lifted up his heel against me. ¹⁹ Now tell I you, before it come: that when it is come to pass ye might believe that I am he.

²¹ When Jesus had thus said, he was troubled in the spirit, and testified saying, "Verily, verily I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me." ²² And then the disciples looked one on another, doubting of whom he spake.

²⁶ Jesus answered, "He it is to whom I give a sop, when I have dipped it." And he wet a sop, and gave it to Judas Iscariot, Simon's son.

¹⁵ Moreover, I will put hatred between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed. And that seed shall tread thee on the head, and thou shalt tread it on the heel."

¹ {To the Chanter, upon Aijeleth of the dawning, a Psalm of David} My God, my God: why hast thou forsaken me, and art so far from my health and from the words of my complaint? ² O my God, I cry in the daytime, but thou hearest not: and in the night season also I take no rest. ³ And thou continuest holy, O thou worship of Israel. ⁴ Our fathers hoped in thee; they trusted in thee, and thou didst deliver them. ⁵ They called upon thee, and were helped: they put their trust in thee, and were not confounded. ⁶ But as for me, I am a worm and no man: a very scorn of men and the outcast of the people. ⁷ All they that see me, laugh me to scorn: they shoot out their lips, and shake their heads. ⁸ "He trusted in the LORD, that he would deliver him; let him deliver him, if he will have him." ⁹ But thou art he that took me out of my mother's womb; thou wast my hope, when I hanged yet upon my mother's breasts. ¹⁰ I have been left unto thee ever since I was born; thou art my God, even from my mother's womb. ¹¹ O go not far from me then, for trouble is hard at hand, and here is none to help me. ¹² Many oxen are come about me; fat bulls of Bashan close me in on every side. ¹³ They gape upon me with their mouths, as it were a rampaging and a roaring lion. ¹⁴ I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint: my heart also in the midst of my body is even like melting wax. ¹⁵ My strength is dried up like a potsherd, and my tongue cleaveth to my gums, and thou shalt bring me into the dust of death. ¹⁶ For many dogs are come about me, the counsel of the wicked layeth siege against me. ¹⁷ They pierced my hands and my feet; I may tell all my bones. They stand staring and looking upon me. ¹⁸ They part my garments among them, and cast lots upon my vesture. ¹⁹ But be not thou far from me, O LORD; thou art my succor. Haste thee to help me. ²⁰ Deliver my soul from the sword, my darling from the power of the dog. ²¹ Save me from the lion's mouth, and hear me from among the horns of the unicorns. ²² I will declare thy name unto my brethren; in the midst of the congregation will I praise thee. ²³ O praise the LORD, ye that fear him! Magnify him, all ye seed of Jacob, and fear him, all ye seed of Israel. ²⁴ For he hath not despised nor abhorred the low estate of the poor: he hath not hid his face from him, but when he called unto him, he heard him. ²⁵ My praise is of thee in the great congregation; my vows will I perform in the sight of them that fear him. ²⁶ The poor shall eat, and be satisfied: they that seek after the LORD shall praise him. Your heart shall live for ever. ²⁷ All the ends of the world shall remember themselves, and be turned unto the LORD: and all the kindreds of the people shall worship before him. ²⁸ For the kingdom is the LORD's, and he is the governour among the people. ²⁹ All such as be fat upon earth have eaten and worshipped. All they that go down into the dust shall kneel before him; and no man hath quickened his own soul. ³⁰ My seed shall serve him; they shall be counted unto the LORD for a generation. ³¹ They shall come, and declare his righteousness unto a people that shall be born, whom the LORD hath made.

¹² If it were mine enemy that reviled me, I could bear it: or if one that ought me evil will did threaten me, I would hide myself from him. ¹³ But it was even thou, my companion, my guide, and mine own familiar friend. ¹⁴ We took sweet counsel together, and walked in the house of God as friends. ¹⁵ Let death come hastily upon them, and let them go down quick into hell; for wickedness is among them in their dwellings.

¹ {To the Chanter, upon Shoshannim, of David} Save me, O God; for the waters are come in, even unto my soul. ² I stick fast in the deep mire, where no ground is; I am come into deep waters, so that the floods run over me. ³ I am weary of crying; my throat is dry. My sight faileth me, for waiting so long upon my God. ⁴ They that hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of my head; they that are mine enemies, and would destroy me guiltless, are mighty. I paid them the things that I never took. ⁵ God, thou knowest my simpleness, and my faults are not hid from thee. ⁶ Let not them that trust in thee, O LORD God of hosts, be ashamed for my cause; let not those that seek thee, be confounded through me, O LORD God of Israel. ⁷ And why? For thy sake have I suffered reproof; shame hath covered my face. ⁸ I am become a stranger unto my brethren, even an alien unto my mother's children. ⁹ For the zeal of thine house hath even eaten me; and the rebukes of them that rebuked thee is fallen upon me. ¹⁰ I wept, and chastened myself with fasting, and that was turned to my reproof. ¹¹ I put on a sackcloth, and therefore they jested upon me. ¹² They that sit in the gate speak against me, and the drunkards make songs upon me. ¹³ But, LORD, I make my prayer unto thee in an acceptable time. Hear me, O God, in the multitude of thy mercy, even in the truth of thy salvation. ¹⁴ Take me out of the mire, that I sink not; Oh let me be delivered from them that hate me, and out of the deep waters. ¹⁵ Let not the water-flood drown me, neither let the deep swallow me up; and let not the pit shut her mouth upon me. ¹⁶ Hear me, O LORD, for thy loving-kindness is comfortable: turn thee unto me according to the multitude of thy mercies. ¹⁷ Hide not thy face from thy servant, for I am in trouble; O haste thee, and hear me. ¹⁸ Draw nigh unto my soul, and save it; O deliver me, because of mine enemies. ¹⁹ Thou knowest my reproof, and my shame and my dishonor: mine adversaries are all in thy sight. ²⁰ Thy rebuke breaketh my heart, and maketh me heavy. I look for some to have pity upon me, but there is no man; and for some to comfort me, but I find none. ²¹ They gave me gall to eat, and when I was thirsty they gave me vinegar to drink. ²² Let their table be made a snare to take themselves withal; and let the things that should have been for their wealth be unto them an occasion of falling. ²³ Let their eyes be blinded, that they see not; and ever bow down their backs. ²⁴ Pour out thine indignation upon them, and let thy wrathful displeasure take hold of them. ²⁵ Let their habitation be void, and no man to dwell in their tents. ²⁶ For they persecute him whom thou hast smitten; and they talk how they may vex them whom thou hast wounded. ²⁷ Let them fall from one wickedness to another, and not come into thy righteousness. ²⁸ Let them be wiped out of the book of the living, and not be written among the righteous. ²⁹ As for me, I am poor and in heaviness; let thy help defend me, O God. ³⁰ I will praise the name of God with a song, and magnify it with thanksgiving. ³¹ This shall please the LORD better than a bullock, that hath horns and hoofs. ³² O consider this and be glad, ye that be in adversity: seek after God and your soul shall live. ³³ For the LORD heareth the poor, and despiseth not his prisoners. ³⁴ Let heaven and earth praise him, the sea, and all that moveth therein. ³⁵ For God will save Zion, and build the cities of Judah, that men may dwell there, and have it in possession. ³⁶ The seed of his servants shall inherit it, and they that love his name shall dwell therein.

⁶ Set an ungodly man to be ruler over him, and let Satan stand at his righthand. ⁷ When sentence is given upon him, let him be condemned; and let his prayer be turned into sin. ⁸ Let his days be few, and his bishoprick let another take. ⁹ Let his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow. ¹⁰ Let his children be vagabonds, and beg their bread; let them seek it also out of desolate places. ¹¹ Let the extortioner consume all that he hath; and let stranger spoil his labour. ¹² Let there be no man to pity him, nor to have compassion on his fatherless children. ¹³ Let his posterity be destroyed; and in the next generation let his name be clean put out. ¹⁴ Let the wickedness of his fathers be had in remembrance in the sight of LORD; and let not the sin of his mother be done away. ¹⁵ Let them be always before the LORD, that he may root out the memorial of them from off the earth;

¹ Who believeth our sayings? And the arm of the LORD, to whom is it opened? ² He came up as a spray before him, and as a root out of a dry land. There was neither fashion or beauty on him. And when we looked on him, there was no godliness that we should lust after him. ³ He was despised and cast out of men's company; and one that had suffered sorrow, and had experience of infirmity. And we were as one that had hid his face from him. ⁴ He was so despisable, that we esteemed him not. Truly, he took upon him our diseases, and bare our sorrows. And yet we counted him plagued, and beaten, and humbled of God. ⁵ He was wounded for our transgressions, and bruised for our iniquities. The correction that brought us peace was on him, and with his stripes we were healed. ⁶ And we went astray as sheep, and turned every man his way: and the LORD put on him the wickedness of us all. ⁷ He suffered wrong and was evil entreated, and yet opened not his mouth: he was as a sheep led to be slain: and as a lamb before his shearer, he was dumb and opened not his mouth. ⁸ By the reason of the affliction, he was not esteemed: and yet his generation who can number? When he is taken from the earth of living men: for my people's transgression he was plagued. ⁹ He put his sepulchre with the wicked, and with the rich in his death: because he did none iniquity, neither was guile found in his mouth. ¹⁰ And yet the LORD determined to bruise him with infirmities. His soul giving herself for trangression, he shall see seed of long continuance; and the will of the LORD shall prosper in his hand. ¹¹ Because of the labour of his soul, he shall see and be satisfied. With his knowledge, he, being just, shall justify my servants: and that a great number. And he shall bear their iniquities. ¹² Therefore I will give him his part in many, and the spoil of the rich he shall divide: because he gave his soul to death, and was numbered with the trespassers, and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for transgressors.

²⁴ Seventy weeks are determined over thy people, and over the holy city: that the wickedness may be consumed, that the sin may have an end, that the offense may be reconciled, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, to fulfill the visions and the Prophets, and to anoint the most holy one. ²⁵ Understand this then, and mark it well: That from the time it shall be concluded to go and repair Jerusalem again, unto Christ, the anointed Prince: there shall be seven weeks.Then shall the streets and walls be builded again sixty two weeks, but with hard troublous time. ²⁶ After these sixty two weeks, shall Christ be slain, and they shall have no pleasure in him. Then shall there come a people with the prince, and destroy the city and the Sanctuary: and his end shall come as the water flood. But the desolation shall continue till the end of the battle.

⁷ "Arise, O thou sword, upon my shepherd, and upon the prince of my people, sayeth the LORD of Hosts: Smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered abroad, and so will I turn mine hand to the little ones.

²⁴ The son of man goeth as it is written of him: but woe be to that man, by whom the son of man shall be betrayed. It had been good for that man, if he had never been born."

⁵³ Either thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my father, and he shall give me more than twelve legions of angels? ⁵⁴ But how then should the scriptures be fulfilled? For so must it be."

⁵ And he cast down the silver plates in the temple, and departed, and went and hung himself.

²¹ The son of man goeth, as it is written of him: but woe be to that man, by whom the son of man is betrayed. Good were it for him, if that man had never been born."

²⁵ And he said unto them, "O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken. ²⁶ Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory?" ²⁷ And he began at Moses, and at all the prophets, and interpreted unto them, in all scriptures which were written of him.

⁴⁶ and said unto them, "Thus is it written, and thus it behooved Christ to suffer, and to rise again from death the third day.

¹² While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name. Those that thou gavest me, have I kept, and none of them is lost, but that lost child: that the scripture might be fulfilled.

¹⁶ "Ye men and brethren, this scripture must have needs been fulfilled which the holy ghost, through the mouth of David, spake before of Judas, which was guide to them that took Jesus: ¹⁷ For he was now numbered with us and had obtained fellowship in this ministration. ¹⁸ And the same hath now possessed a plot of ground with the reward of iniquity. And when he was hanged, burst asunder in the midst, and all his bowels gushed out. ¹⁹ And it is known unto all the inhabiters of Jerusalem. Insomuch that that field is called in their mother tongue, Akeldama, that is to say the blood field. ²⁰ It is written in the book of psalms, 'His habitation be void, and no man be dwelling therein,' and, 'His bishoprick let another take.' ²¹ Wherefore of these men which have companied with us — all the time that the Lord Jesus went out and in among us, ²² beginning at the baptism of John unto that same day that he was taken up from us — must one be ordained to bear witness with us of his resurrection." ²³ And they appointed two: Joseph called Barsabbas, whose surname was Justus, and Matthias. ²⁴ And they prayed, saying, "Thou Lord which knowest the hearts of all men, show whether thou hast chosen of these two, ²⁵ that the one may take the room of this ministration, and apostleship from the which Judas by transgression fell, that he might go to his own place."

²³ him have ye taken by the hands of unrighteous persons, after he was delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, and have crucified and slain him whom God hath raised up:

²⁵ which by the mouth of thy servant David hast said, 'Why did the heathen rage and the people imagine vain things? ²⁶ The kings of the earth stood up and the rulers came together against the Lord, and against his Christ.' ²⁷ For of a truth, against thy holy child Jesus, whom thou hast anointed, both Herod and also Pontius Pilate with the gentiles, and the people of Israel, gathered themselves together: ²⁸ for to do whatsoever thy hand and thy counsel determined before to be done.

²⁷ The inhabiters of Jerusalem, and their rulers: because they knew him not, nor yet the voices of the prophets which are read every Sabbath day; they have fulfilled them in condemning him. ²⁸ And when they found no cause of death in him, yet desired they Pilate to kill him.

²² Nevertheless, I obtained help of God, and continue unto this day witnessing both to small and to great; saying none other things, than those which the prophets and Moses did say should come: ²³ That Christ should suffer, and that he should be the first that should rise from death, and should show light unto the people, and to the gentiles."

³ For first of all, I delivered unto you that which I received: how that Christ died for our sins, agreeing to the scriptures, ⁴ and that he was buried, and that he arose again the third day according to the scriptures,

¹¹ searching when, or at what time, the spirit of Christ which was in them should signify — which spirit testified before — the passions that should come unto Christ, and the glory that should follow after.

²² And they were exceeding sorrowful, and began every one of them to say unto him, "Is it I, master?"

¹⁹ And they began to mourn, and to say to him one by one, "Is it I?" And another said, "Is it I?"

²² And then the disciples looked one on another, doubting of whom he spake. ²³ There was one of his disciples which leaned on Jesus' bosom, whom Jesus loved. ²⁴ To him beckoned Simon Peter that he should ask who it was of whom he spake. ²⁵ He then, as he leaned on Jesus' breast, said unto him, "Lord who is it?"

²⁰ Then came to him the mother of Zebedee's children with her sons, worshipping him, and desiring a certain thing of him. ²¹ And he said unto her, "What wilt thou have?" She said unto him, "Grant that these my two sons may sit, the one on thy right hand, and the other on thy left hand in thy kingdom." ²² Jesus answered, and said, "Ye know not what ye ask. Are ye able to drink of the cup that I shall drink of? And to be baptised with the baptism, that I shall be baptised with?" They answered to him, "That we are." ²³ And he said unto them, "Ye shall drink of my cup, and shall be baptised with the baptism that I shall be baptised with. But to sit on my right hand, and on my left hand, is not mine to give you: but to them for whom it is prepared of my father." ²⁴ And when the ten heard this, they disdained at the two brethren.

³⁴ And they held their peace: for by the way they reasoned among themselves, who should be the chiefest.

³⁷ They said to him, "Grant unto us that we may sit one on thy right hand, and the other on thy left hand, in thy glory." ³⁸ But Jesus said unto them, "Ye know not what ye ask. Can ye drink of the cup, that I shall drink of? And be baptised in the baptism that I shall be baptised in?" ³⁹ And they said unto him, "That we can." Jesus said unto them, "Ye shall drink of the cup that I shall drink of, and be baptised with the baptism that I shall be baptised in: ⁴⁰ But to sit on my right hand and on my left hand, is not mine to give, but to them for whom it is prepared." ⁴¹ And when the ten heard that, they began to disdain at James and John.

⁴⁶ Then there arose a disputation among them: who should be the greatest.

¹⁰ Be kind one to another, with brotherly love. In giving honour go one before another.

⁴ Love suffereth long, and is courteous. Love envieth not. Love doth not forwardly, swelleth not,

³ that nothing be done through strife or vain glory, but that in meekness of mind every man esteem others better than himself, ⁴ and that no man consider his own, but what is mete for others. ⁵ Let the same mind be in you that was in Christ Jesus:

⁵ Either do ye think that the scripture saith in vain, "The spirit that dwelleth in you, lusteth even contrary to envy," ⁶ but giveth more grace?

⁵ Likewise, ye younger submit yourselves unto the elder. Submit yourselves every man, one to another. Knit yourselves together in lowliness of mind. For God resisteth the proud and giveth grace to the humble. ⁶ Submit yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you, when the time is come.

²⁵ But Jesus called them unto him, and said, "Ye know that the Lords of the gentiles have domination over them. And they that are great exercise power over them. ²⁶ It shall not be so among you: But whosoever will be great among you, let him be your minister, ²⁷ and whosoever will be chief, let him be your servant. ²⁸ Even as the son of man came, not to be ministered unto, but to minister: and to give his life for the redemption of many."

⁴¹ And when the ten heard that, they began to disdain at James and John. ⁴² But Jesus called them unto him, and said to them, "Ye know well that they which seem to bear rule among the gentiles, reign as Lords over them. And they that be great among them exercise authority over them. ⁴³ So shall it not be among you: but whosoever of you will be great among you, shall be your minister. ⁴⁴ And whosoever will be chief, shall be servant unto all. ⁴⁵ For even the son of man came, not to be ministered unto: but to minister, and to give his life for the redemption of many."

³ and said, "Verily, I say unto you, Except ye turn, and become as children, ye cannot enter into the kingdom of heaven. ⁴ Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this child, the same is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. ⁵ And whosoever receiveth such a child in my name, receiveth me.

⁸ But ye shall not suffer yourselves to be called Rabbi, for one is your master, that is, to wit, Christ, and all ye are brethren. ⁹ And call ye no man your father upon the earth, for there is but one, your father, and he is in heaven. ¹⁰ Be not called masters, for there is but one, your master, and he is Christ. ¹¹ He that is greatest among you, shall be your servant. ¹² But whosoever exalteth himself, shall be brought low. And he that humbleth himself, shall be exalted.

³⁵ And he sat down, and called the twelve unto him, and said to them, "If any man desire to be first, the same shall be last of all, and servant unto all."

⁴⁸ and said unto them, "Whosoever receiveth this child in my name, receiveth me. And whosoever receiveth me, receiveth him that sent me. For he that is least among you all, the same shall be great."

² And fashion not yourselves like unto this world: But be changed through the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what thing that good, that acceptable, and perfect will of God is.

³ Not as though ye were lords over the parishes: but that ye be an example to the flock.

⁵ Likewise, ye younger submit yourselves unto the elder. Submit yourselves every man, one to another. Knit yourselves together in lowliness of mind. For God resisteth the proud and giveth grace to the humble.

⁹ I wrote unto the congregation: but Diotrephes which loveth to have the preeminence among them, receiveth us not, ¹⁰ wherefore if I come I will declare his deeds which he doeth, jesting on us with malicious words, neither is therewith content. Not only he himself receiveth not the brethren: but also he forbiddeth them that would, and thrusteth them out of the congregation.

²⁸ Even as the son of man came, not to be ministered unto, but to minister: and to give his life for the redemption of many."

⁷ Who is it, if he had a servant a plowing, or feeding cattle, that would say unto him when he were come from the field, 'Go quickly and sit down to meat.' ⁸ And would not rather say to him, 'Dress wherewith I may sup, and gird up thyself and serve me, till I have eaten and drunk: and afterward, eat thou, and drink thou?' ⁹ Doth he thank that servant because he did that which was commanded unto him? I think not.

⁵ After that, poured he water into a basin, and began to wash his disciples' feet, and to wipe them with the towel wherewith he was gird. ⁶ Then came he to Simon Peter. And Peter said to him, "Lord shalt thou wash my feet?" ⁷ Jesus answered and said unto him, "What I do, thou knowest not now, but thou shalt know hereafter." ⁸ Peter said unto him, "Thou shalt not wash my feet while the world standeth." Jesus answered him, "If I wash thee not, thou shalt have no part with me." ⁹ Simon Peter said unto him, "Lord not my feet only: but also my hands and my head." ¹⁰ Jesus said to him, "He that is washed needeth not, save to wash his feet, and is clean every whit. And ye are clean: but not all." ¹¹ For he knew his betrayer. Therefore said he, "Ye are not all clean." ¹² After he had washed their feet, and received his clothes, and was set down again, he said unto them, "Know ye what I have done to you? ¹³ Ye call me 'Master' and 'Lord,' and ye say well, for so am I. ¹⁴ If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet: ye also ought to wash one another's feet. ¹⁵ For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you. ¹⁶ Verily, verily I say unto you, the servant is not greater than his master; Neither the messenger greater than he that sent him.

⁹ Ye know the liberality of our Lord Jesus Christ, which though he were rich, yet for your sakes became poor: that ye through his poverty might be made rich.

⁷ Nevertheless, he made himself of no reputation, and took on him the shape of a servant, and became like unto men, and was found in his apparel as a man. ⁸ He humbled himself and became obedient unto the death, even the death of the cross.

²⁸ Jesus said unto them, "Verily I say to you, When the son of man shall sit in the seat of his majesty, ye which follow me in the second generation shall sit also upon twelve seats, and judge the twelve tribes of Israel. ²⁹ And whosoever forsaketh houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name's sake; the same shall receive a hundred fold, and shall inherit everlasting life.

¹³ But he that endureth to the end, the same shall be safe.

⁶⁷ Then said Jesus to the twelve, "Will ye also go away?" ⁶⁸ Then Simon Peter answered him, "Master, to whom shall we go? Thou hast the words of eternal life;

³¹ Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, "If ye continue in my words, then are ye my very disciples:

²⁵ that the one may take the room of this ministration, and apostleship from the which Judas by transgression fell, that he might go to his own place."

¹⁸ For in that he himself suffered, and was tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted.

¹⁵ For we have not a high priest, which cannot have compassion on our infirmities: but was in all points tempted, as we are: but yet without sin.

⁴⁷ Verily I say unto you, he shall make him ruler over all his goods.

³⁴ Then shall the King say to them on his right hand, 'Come, ye blessed children of my father, inherit ye the kingdom prepared for you from the beginning of the world.

¹⁸ And Jesus came, and spake unto them, saying, "All power is given unto me in heaven, and in earth.

³² Fear not little flock, for it is your father's pleasure, to give you a kingdom.

¹⁷ And he said unto him, 'Well good servant, because thou wast faithful in a very little thing; Take thou authority over ten cities.'

²⁵ Every man that proveth masteries abstaineth from all things. And they do it to obtain a corruptible crown: but we to obtain an uncorruptible crown.

⁷ yet our hope is steadfast for you inasmuch as we know how, that as ye have your part in afflictions, so shall ye be partakers of consolation.

¹² If we be patient, we shall also reign with him; If we deny him, he also shall deny us;

⁵ Hearken, my dear beloved brethren, hath not God chosen the poor of this world, which are rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom, which he promised to them that love him?

⁴ And when the chief shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive an incorruptible crown of glory.

¹⁴ And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in them the names of the Lamb's twelve apostles.

⁹ Then the king called unto Ziba, Saul's young man, saying unto him, "I give unto thy master's son all that pertained to Saul and to all his kin. ¹⁰ See therefore that thou and thy sons and thy servants till the land for him, and bring in, that thy master's son may have food to eat. For Mephibosheth thy master's son shall eat meat always upon my table." For this Ziba had fifteen sons and twenty servants.

²⁸ For all my father's house were but dead men unto my lord the king: and yet didst thou put me among them that eat at thine own table. What right therefore have I yet, to cry any more unto the king?"

¹⁴ They lie in the hell like sheep, death gnaweth upon them, and the righteous shall have domination of them in the morning. Their beauty shall consume in the sepulchre, and hell shall be their dwelling.

¹¹ I say therefore unto you, That many shall come from the east and west, and shall rest with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven;

²⁸ Jesus said unto them, "Verily I say to you, When the son of man shall sit in the seat of his majesty, ye which follow me in the second generation shall sit also upon twelve seats, and judge the twelve tribes of Israel.

¹⁶ For I say unto you, Henceforth, I will not eat of it any more, until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God." ¹⁷ And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and said, "Take this, and divide it among you. ¹⁸ For I say unto you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God be come."

² Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? If the world shall be judged by you: are ye not good enough to judge small trifles? ³ Know ye not how that we shall judge the angels? How much more may we judge things that pertain to the life?

²⁶ and whosoever overcometh and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over nations, ²⁷ and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and as the vessels of a potter, shall he break them to shivers. Even as I received of my father.

²¹ To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my seat, even as I overcame and have sitten with my father, in his seat.

⁴ And about the seat were twenty four seats. And I saw upon the seats twenty four elders sitting clothed in white raiment, and had on their heads crowns of gold.

⁶ Now upon a time, when the servants of God came and stood before the LORD, Satan came also among them. ⁷ And the LORD said unto Satan, "From whence comest thou?" Satan answered the LORD, and said, "I have gone about the land and walked through it." ⁸ Then said the LORD unto Satan, "Hast thou not considered my servant Job, and how that he is an innocent and virtuous man: such one as feareth God, and escheweth evil, and that there is none like him in the land?" ⁹ Satan answered, and said unto the LORD, "Doth Job fear God for naught? ¹⁰ Hast thou not preserved him, his house, and all his substance on every side? Hast thou not blessed the work of his hands? Is not his possession increased in the land? ¹¹ But lay thine hand upon him a little, touch once all that he hath, and, I hold, he shall curse thee to thy face." ¹² And the LORD said unto Satan, "Lo, all that he hath, be in thy power: only upon himself see that thou lay not thine hand." Then went Satan forth from the LORD.

¹ It happened also upon a time, that when the servants of God came and stood before the LORD, Satan also came among them, and stood before him. ² And the LORD said unto Satan, "From whence comest thou?" Satan answered and said, "I have gone about the land, and walked through it." ³ Then said the LORD unto Satan, "Hast thou not considered my servant Job, how that he is an innocent and virtuous man such one as feareth God, and escheweth evil, and that there is none like him in the land? But thou movedst me against him, to punish him: yet is it in vain, for he continueth still in his godliness." ⁴ Satan answered the LORD, and said, "Skin for skin? Yea, a man will give all that ever he hath, for his life. ⁵ But lay thine hand upon him, touch him once upon the bone and flesh, and, I hold, he shall curse thee to thy face." ⁶ Then said the LORD unto Satan, "Lo, there hast thou him in thy power, but spare his life."

⁹ For lo, this I promise: though I sift the house of Israel among all nations, like as they use to sift in a sieve: yet shall not the smallest gravel stone fall upon the earth.

¹ And he showed me Joshua the high priest, standing before the angel of the LORD, and Satan stood at his righthand to resist him.

⁴¹ And Jesus answered, and said unto her, "Martha, Martha, thou carest, and are troubled, about many things:

⁴ And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying to him, "Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?"

⁸ Be sober, and watch. For your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:

¹⁰ And I heard a loud voice saying, "In heaven is now made salvation and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: For he is cast down which accused them before God day and night:

³ For while I held my tongue, my bones consumed away through my daily complaining. ⁴ For thy hand is heavy upon me both day and night, and my moisture is like the drought in Summer. Selah. ⁵ I will acknowledge my sin unto thee; and mine unrighteousness have I not hid. I said, "I will confess my sins unto the LORD." And so thou forgavest the wickedness of my sin. Selah. ⁶ For this shall every saint make his prayer unto thee in due season; but in the great water-floods they shall not come nigh him.

¹² O give me the comfort of thy help again, and establish me with thy free spirit. ¹³ Then shall I teach thy ways unto the wicked, that sinners may be converted unto thee.

² And the LORD said unto Satan, 'The LORD reprove thee, thou Satan; yea, the LORD that hath chosen Jerusalem, reprove thee. Is not this a brand taken out of the fire?' ³ Now Joshua was clothed in unclean raiment, and stood before the angel: ⁴ Which answered and said unto those that stood before him, 'Take away the foul clothes from him.' And unto him he said, 'Behold, I have taken away thy sin from thee, and will deck thee with change of raiment.'

³ and said, "Verily, I say unto you, Except ye turn, and become as children, ye cannot enter into the kingdom of heaven.

⁷⁵ And Peter remembered the words of Jesus, which he said unto him, "Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice": and went out at the doors and wept bitterly.

⁷² And again the cock crew. And Peter remembered the word that Jesus said unto him. "Before the cock crow twice, thou shalt deny me thrice," and began to weep.

⁷ But go your way, and tell his disciples, and namely Peter, that he will go before you into Galilee: there shall ye see him, as he said unto you."

¹³ They on the stones, are they which, when they hear, receive the word with joy. But these have no roots, which for a while believe, and in time of temptation go away.

⁶¹ And the Lord turned back and looked upon Peter. And Peter remembered the words of the Lord, how he said unto him, "Before the cock crow thou shalt deny me thrice." ⁶² And Peter went out, and wept bitterly.

¹⁹ It is yet a little while and the world seeth me no more: but ye shall see me. For I live, and ye shall live.

⁹ I pray for them, and I pray not for the world: but for them which thou hast given me, for they are thine, ¹⁰ and all mine are thine, and thine are mine, and I am glorified in them. ¹¹ And now am I no more in the world, but they are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy father, keep in thine own name them which thou hast given me, that they may be one as we are.

¹⁵ I desire not that thou shouldest take them out of the world: but that thou keep them from evil. ¹⁶ They are not of the world, as I am not of the world. ¹⁷ "Sanctify them with thy truth. Thy saying is truth. ¹⁸ As thou didst sent me into the world, even so have I sent them into the world; ¹⁹ And for their sakes sanctify I myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth. ²⁰ I pray not for them alone: but for them also which shall believe on me through their preaching, ²¹ that they all may be one, as thou father art in me, and I in thee; that they may be also one in us, that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.

¹⁵ When they had dined, Jesus said to Simon Peter, "Simon the son of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these?" He said unto him, "Yea Lord, thou knowest, that I love thee." He said unto him, "Feed my lambs." ¹⁶ He said to him again the second time, "Simon the son of Jonas, lovest thou me?" He said unto him, "Yea Lord thou knowest that I love thee." He said unto him, "Feed my sheep." ¹⁷ He said unto him the third time, "Simon the son of Jonas, lovest thou me?" And Peter sorrowed because he said to him the third time, "Lovest thou me," and said unto him, "Lord, thou knowest all things, thou knowest that I love thee." Jesus said unto him, "Feed my sheep.

¹⁹ Repent ye, therefore, and turn: that your sins may be done away when the time of refreshing cometh, which we shall have of the presence of the Lord,

⁹ Much more then, now seeing we are justified in his blood, shall we be saved from wrath through him. ¹⁰ For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his son: much more, seeing we are reconciled, we shall be preserved by his life.

³² Which spared not his own son, but gave him for us all: How shall he not with him give us all things also?

³⁴ who then shall condemn? It is Christ which is dead; Yea rather which is risen again, which is also on the righthand of God and maketh intercession for us.

⁴ which comforteth us in all our tribulation, insomuch that we are able to comfort them which are troubled, in whatsoever tribulation it be, with the same comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God. ⁵ For as the afflictions of Christ are plenteous in us: even so is our consolation plenteous by Christ. ⁶ Whether we be troubled for your consolation and salvation, which salvation showeth her power in that ye suffer the same afflictions which we also suffer; or whether we be comforted for your consolation and salvation:

¹³ when before I was a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and a tyrant. But I obtained mercy because I did it ignorantly, through unbelief: ¹⁴ Neverthelater, the grace of our Lord was more abundant, with faith and love, which is in Christ Jesus. ¹⁵ This is a true saying, and by all means worthy to be received, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am chief: ¹⁶ for this cause was mercy given unto me, that Jesus Christ should first show on me all long patience, unto the example of them which shall, in time to come, believe on him unto eternal life.

¹⁸ which as concerning the truth have erred, saying that the resurrection is past already, and do destroy the faith of divers persons.

¹ Paul, the servant of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to preach the faith of God's elect, and the knowledge of that truth,

²⁵ Wherefore he is able also ever to save them that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth, to make intercession for us.

¹² Stretch forth therefore again the hands which were let down, and the weak knees, ¹³ and see that ye have straight steps unto your feet, lest any halting turn out of the way: yea, let it rather be healed.

¹⁵ And look to, that no man be destitute of the grace of God, and that no root of bitterness spring up and trouble; and thereby many be defiled:

¹ Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that dwell here and there as strangers throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia;

⁵ which are kept by the power of God through salvation, which salvation is prepared already to be showed in the last time,

¹³ Wherefore, gird up the loins of your minds, be sober, and trust perfectly on the grace that is brought unto you by the declaring of Jesus Christ;

⁸ Be sober, and watch. For your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: ⁹ whom resist, steadfast in the faith, remembering that ye do but fulfill the same afflictions which are appointed to your brethren that are in the world. ¹⁰ The God of all grace — which called you unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus — shall his own self, after ye have suffered a little affliction, make you perfect: shall settle, strengthen, and establish you.

¹⁰ Wherefore, brethren, give the more diligence for to make your calling and election sure. For if ye do such things, ye shall never err. ¹¹ Yea, and by this means an entering-in shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and saviour Jesus Christ. ¹² Wherefore I will not be negligent to put you always in remembrance of such things, though that ye know them yourselves and be also established in the present truth.

¹⁴ Wherefore, dearly beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot and undefiled:

¹⁷ Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know it beforehand: Beware, lest ye be also plucked away with the error of the wicked, and fall from your own steadfastness; ¹⁸ but grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord, and saviour Jesus Christ. To whom be glory both now and forever. Amen. {Here ends the Second General Epistle of Peter}

¹ My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye should sin not: if, though, any man sin, yet we have an Advocate with the father, even Jesus Christ, which is righteous. ² And he it is that obtaineth grace for our sins; and not for our sins only, but also for the sins of all the world.

¹⁹ They went out of us, but they were not of us. For if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us. But that fortuned, that it might appear that they were not of us.

¹² And Hazael said, "Why weepeth my lord?" And he answered, "For I know that thou shalt do evil unto the children of Israel: their strong cities thou shalt set on fire, and their young men thou shalt slay with the sword, and shalt dash out the brains of their sucking children: and all to tear their women with child." ¹³ And Hazael said, "What is thy servant, which am but a dog, that I should do this great thing?" And Elisha said, "For the LORD hath showed me, that thou shalt be king of Syria."

²⁶ He that trusteth in his own heart, is a fool; but he that dealeth wisely, shall be safe.

²³ Now I know, O LORD, that it is not in man's power to order his own ways, or to rule his own steps and goings.

⁹ Among all things living, man hath the most deceitful and unsearchable heart. Who shall then know it?

²² Jesus answered, and said, "Ye know not what ye ask. Are ye able to drink of the cup that I shall drink of? And to be baptised with the baptism, that I shall be baptised with?" They answered to him, "That we are."

³³ Peter answered, and said unto him, "Though all men should be offended by thee, yet would I never be offended." ³⁴ Jesus said unto him, "Verily I say unto thee, that this same night, before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice." ³⁵ Peter said unto him, "If I should die with thee, yet would I not deny thee." Likewise also said all the disciples.

⁴⁰ And he came unto the disciples, and found them asleep, and said to Peter, "What, could ye not watch with me one hour? ⁴¹ Watch and pray, that ye fall not into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak."

²⁹ Peter said unto him, "And though all men should be offended, yet would not I."

³¹ And he spake bolder, "No, if I should die with thee, I will not deny thee." Likewise also said they all.

³⁷ And he came and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, "Simon, sleepest thou? Couldest not thou watch with me one hour? ³⁸ Watch ye, and pray, lest ye enter into temptation: the spirit is ready, but the flesh is weak."

³⁶ Simon Peter said unto him, "Lord whither goest thou?" Jesus answered him, "Whither I go thou canst not follow me now, but thou shalt follow me afterwards." ³⁷ Peter said unto him, "Lord why cannot I follow thee now? I will give my life for thy sake."

²³ but that the holy ghost witnesseth in every city, saying that bonds and trouble abide me. ²⁴ But none of those things move me. Neither is my life dear unto myself; that I might fulfill my course with joy, and the ministration which I have received of the Lord Jesus to testify the gospel of the grace of God.

¹³ Then Paul answered, and said, "What do ye weeping, and breaking mine heart? I am ready not to be bound only, but also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus."

³⁴ Jesus said unto him, "Verily I say unto thee, that this same night, before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice."

⁷⁴ Then began he to curse and to swear, that he knew not the man. And immediately the cock crew.

³⁰ And Jesus said unto him, "Verily I say unto thee this day even in this night, before the cock crow twice, thou shalt deny me thrice."

⁷¹ And he began to curse and to swear, saying, "I know not this man of whom ye speak." ⁷² And again the cock crew. And Peter remembered the word that Jesus said unto him. "Before the cock crow twice, thou shalt deny me thrice," and began to weep.

³⁸ Jesus answered him, "Wilt thou give thy life for my sake? Verily, verily I say unto thee, the cock shall not crow, till thou have denied me thrice."

²⁷ Peter denied it again: and immediately the cock crew.

¹⁵ And he blessed Joseph saying, "God before whom my fathers Abraham and Isaac did walk, and the God which hath fed me all my life long unto this day;

² And think on all the ways which the LORD thy God led thee this forty years in the wilderness, for to humble thee and to prove thee, to wete what was in thine heart, whether thou wouldest keep his commandments or no. ³ He humbled thee and made thee hunger and fed thee with Manna, which neither thou nor thy father knew of, to make thee know that a man must not live by bread only: but by all that proceedeth out of the mouth of the LORD must a man live.

¹⁶ which fed thee in the wilderness with Manna whereof thy fathers knew not, for to humble thee and to prove thee, that he might do thee good at thy latter end.

¹ {A Psalm of David} The LORD is my shepherd; I can want nothing.

⁹ O fear the LORD, ye that are his saints: for they that fear him lack nothing. ¹⁰ The lions do lack, and suffer hunger; but they who seek the LORD shall want no manner of thing that is good.

³ Put thou thy trust in the LORD, and be doing good; dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed.

³¹ Therefore take no thought, saying, 'What shall we eat?' Or. 'What shall we drink?' Or, 'Wherewith shall we be clothed?' ³² After all these things seek the gentiles: For your heavenly father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. ³³ But rather, seek ye first the kingdom of heaven, and the righteousness thereof; and all these things shall be ministered unto you.

⁹ Possess not gold, nor silver, nor brass in your girdles, ¹⁰ nor yet scrip towards your journey, neither two coats, neither shoes, nor yet a staff: for the workman is worthy to have his meat.

⁸ And commanded them, that they should take nothing unto their Journey, save a rod only: Neither scrip, neither bread, neither money in their purses: ⁹ but should be shod with sandals. And that they should not put on two coats.

³ And he said to them, "Take no thing to succor you by the way: neither staff, nor scrip, neither bread neither money, neither have two coats.

⁴ Bear no wallet, neither scrip, nor shoes, and salute no man by the way.

²⁹ And ask not what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, neither climb ye up on high: ³⁰ for all such things the heathen people of the world seek for. Your father knoweth that ye have need of such things. ³¹ Wherefore, seek ye after the kingdom of God, and all these things shall be ministered unto you.

²² and ye shall be hated of all men, for my name: but he that shall endureth unto the end, shall be saved. ²³ When they persecute you in one city, fly into another: I tell you for a truth, ye shall not finish all the cities of Israel, till the son of man be come. ²⁴ The disciple is not above his Master, nor yet the servant above his Lord. ²⁵ It is enough for the disciple to be as his Master is, and that the servant be as his Lord is. If they have called the Lord of the house Beelzebub: how much more shall they call them of his household so?

²⁰ Remember the saying, that I said unto you, 'The servant is not greater than the Lord.' If they have persecuted me, so will they persecute you. If they have kept my saying, so will they keep yours.

³³ These words have I spoken unto you that in me ye might have peace. For in the world shall ye have tribulation: but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world."

¹⁴ For ye brethren became followers of the congregations of God which in Jewry are in Christ Jesus: for ye have suffered like things of your kinsmen, as we ourselves have suffered of the Jews, ¹⁵ which as they killed the Lord Jesus and their own prophets, even so have they persecuted us, and God they please not, and are contrary to all men:

⁴ For verily when I was with you, I told you before that we should suffer tribulation even as it came to pass, and as ye know.

¹ Forasmuch as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he which suffereth in the flesh ceaseth from sin,

¹² Therefore I will give him his part in many, and the spoil of the rich he shall divide: because he gave his soul to death, and was numbered with the trespassers, and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for transgressors.

⁵⁴ But how then should the scriptures be fulfilled? For so must it be." ⁵⁵ The same time said Jesus to the multitude, "Ye be come out as it were unto a thief, with swords and staves for to take me: daily I sat among you teaching in the temple, and ye took me not. ⁵⁶ All this was done that the scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled." Then all the disciples forsook him and fled.

²⁷ And they crucified with him two thieves: the one on the right hand, and the other on his left hand.

³¹ He took unto him twelve, and said unto them, "Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and all shall be fulfilled that are written by the prophets of the son of man.

²² And the son of man goeth as it is appointed: But woe be to that man by whom he is betrayed."

³² And there were two evildoers led with him to be slain.

⁴⁴ And he said unto them, "These are the words, which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you: that all must be fulfilled which were written of me in the law of Moses, and in the Prophets, and in the Psalms." ⁴⁵ Then opened he their wits, that they might understand the scriptures, ⁴⁶ and said unto them, "Thus is it written, and thus it behooved Christ to suffer, and to rise again from death the third day.

³⁵ If he called them gods unto whom the word of God was spoken — and the scripture cannot be broken -

⁴ I have glorified thee on the earth. I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do.

²⁸ After that, when Jesus perceived that all things were performed, that the scripture might be fulfilled, he said, "I thirst." ²⁹ There stood a vessel full of vinegar by. And they filled a sponge with vinegar, and wound it about with hyssop, and put it to his mouth. ³⁰ As soon as Jesus had received of the vinegar, he said, "It is finished," and bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.

²⁷ The inhabiters of Jerusalem, and their rulers: because they knew him not, nor yet the voices of the prophets which are read every Sabbath day; they have fulfilled them in condemning him. ²⁸ And when they found no cause of death in him, yet desired they Pilate to kill him. ²⁹ And when they had fulfilled all that were written of him, they took him down from the tree and put him in a sepulchre:

²¹ for he hath made him to be sin for us, which knew no sin, that we by his means should be that righteousness which before God is allowed.

¹³ But Christ hath delivered us from the curse of the law, and was made accursed for us — for it is written, "Cursed is everyone that hangeth on tree" —

⁵² Then said Jesus unto him, "Put up thy sword into his sheath. For all they that lay hands on the sword, shall perish with the sword.

⁴⁹ When they which were about him saw what would follow, they said unto him, "Lord, shall we smite with a sword?"

³⁶ Jesus answered, "My kingdom is not of this world. If my kingdom were of this world then would my ministers surely fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews, but now is my kingdom not from hence."

³ Nevertheless, though we walk compassed with the flesh, yet we war not fleshly. ⁴ For the weapons of our war are not carnal things, but things mighty in God to cast down strongholds;

¹⁰ Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. ¹¹ Put on the armour of God, that ye may stand steadfast against the crafty assaults of the devil. ¹² For we wrestle not against flesh and blood: but against rule, against power, and against worldly rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness for heavenly things. ¹³ For this cause, take unto you the armour of God, that ye may be able to resist in the evil day, and to stand perfect in all things. ¹⁴ Stand, therefore, and your loins gird about with verity, having on the breastplate of righteousness, ¹⁵ and shod with shoes prepared by the gospel of peace. ¹⁶ Above all, take to you the shield of faith, wherewith ye may quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. ¹⁷ And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the spirit, which is the word of God, ¹⁸ and pray always with all manner prayer and supplication — and that in the spirit — and watch thereunto with all instance and supplication for all saints,

⁸ But let us which are of the day be sober, armed with the breast plate of faith and love, and with hope of salvation as a helmet. ⁹ whom resist, steadfast in the faith, remembering that ye do but fulfill the same afflictions which are appointed to your brethren that are in the world.

¹ When they drew nigh unto Jerusalem, and were come to Bethpage, unto mount Olivet, then sent Jesus two of his disciples,

³⁰ And when they had said grace, they went out into Mount Olivet.

³⁶ Then went Jesus with them into a place, which is called Gethsemane, and said unto the disciples, "Sit ye here while I go and pray yonder." ³⁷ And he took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to wax sorrowful and to be in agony. ³⁸ Then said Jesus unto them, "My soul is heavy even unto the death. Tarry ye here: and watch with me."

¹¹ And the Lord entered into Jerusalem, and into the temple. And when he had looked round about upon all things, and now the eventide was come, he went out unto Bethany with the twelve.

¹⁹ And when even was come, he went out of the city.

³ And as he sat on mount Olivet over against the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him secretly,

²⁶ And when they had said grace, they went out into the Mount Olivet.

³² And they came into a place named Gethsemane. And he said to his disciples, "Sit ye here while I go apart and pray." ³³ And he took with him Peter, James, and John, and he began to wax abashed and to be in an agony. ³⁴ And said unto them, "My soul is very heavy even unto the death, tarry here and watch."

³⁷ In the daytime taught he in the temple, and at night, he went out, and had abiding in the Mount Olivet.

¹ When Jesus had spoken these words, he went forth with his disciples over the brook Kidron, where was a garden: into the which he entered with his disciples. ² Judas also, which betrayed him, knew the place, for Jesus oftentimes resorted thither with his disciples.

¹⁰ But Jabez called on the God of Israel, saying, "If thou shalt bless me, and enlarge my coasts, and shalt let thine hand be with me, and wilt keep me from evil that it vex me not." And God sent him his desire.

⁵ O hold thou up my goings in thy paths: that my footsteps slip not.

¹³ Keep thy servant also from presumptuous sins, lest they get dominion over me: so shall I be undefiled and innocent from the great offense.

¹¹⁶ O establish me according unto thy word, that I may live; and let me not be disappointed of my hope. ¹¹⁷ Hold thou me up, and I shall be safe; yea, I shall ever be talking of thy statutes.

¹³³ Order my steps in thy word; and so shall no wickedness have dominion over me.

⁸ Remove from me vanity and lies; give me neither poverty nor riches, only grant me a necessary living. ⁹ Lest I be so full, I deny thee, and say, "What fellow is the LORD?" And lest I, being constrained through poverty, fall unto stealing and foreswear the name of my God.

¹³ Lead us not into temptation: but deliver us from evil, For thine is the kingdom and the power, and the glory for ever. Amen.

³⁶ Then went Jesus with them into a place, which is called Gethsemane, and said unto the disciples, "Sit ye here while I go and pray yonder." ³⁷ And he took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to wax sorrowful and to be in agony. ³⁸ Then said Jesus unto them, "My soul is heavy even unto the death. Tarry ye here: and watch with me." ³⁹ And he went away a little apart, and fell flat on his face, and prayed, saying, "O my father, if it possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless, not as I will, but as thou wilt." ⁴⁰ And he came unto the disciples, and found them asleep, and said to Peter, "What, could ye not watch with me one hour? ⁴¹ Watch and pray, that ye fall not into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak." ⁴² He went away once more, and prayed, saying, "O my father, if this cup cannot pass away from me, but that I drink of it, thy will be fulfilled." ⁴³ And he came, and found them asleep again. For their eyes were heavy. ⁴⁴ And he left and went again, and prayed the third time saying the same words. ⁴⁵ Then came he to his disciples and said unto them, "Sleep henceforth, and take your rest. Take heed: the hour is at hand, and the son of man shall be betrayed into the hands of sinners. ⁴⁶ Rise, let us be going: Behold, he is at hand that shall betray me."

³² And they came into a place named Gethsemane. And he said to his disciples, "Sit ye here while I go apart and pray." ³³ And he took with him Peter, James, and John, and he began to wax abashed and to be in an agony. ³⁴ And said unto them, "My soul is very heavy even unto the death, tarry here and watch." ³⁵ And he went forth a little and fell down on the ground and prayed that if it were possible, the hour might pass from him. ³⁶ And he said, "Abba father, all things are possible unto thee, take away this cup from me. Nevertheless, not that I will, but that thou wilt be done." ³⁷ And he came and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, "Simon, sleepest thou? Couldest not thou watch with me one hour? ³⁸ Watch ye, and pray, lest ye enter into temptation: the spirit is ready, but the flesh is weak." ³⁹ And again he went away and prayed, and spake the same words. ⁴⁰ And he returned and found them asleep again, for their eyes were heavy: neither could they wist what they might answer to him. ⁴¹ And he came the third time, and said unto them, "Sleep henceforth, and take your ease. It is enough. The hour is come; Behold the son of man shall be delivered into the hands of sinners. ⁴² Rise up, let us go. Lo: he that betrayeth me is at hand."

⁴ And forgive us our sins: For even we forgive every man that trespasseth us, and lead us not into temptation; But deliver us from evil. Amen."

⁴⁶ and said unto them, "Why sleep ye? Rise, and pray lest ye fall into temptation."

⁷ And lest I should be exalted out of measure through the abundance of revelations, there was given unto me of God unquietness of the flesh: the messenger of Satan to buffet me, because I should not be exalted out of measure. ⁸ For this thing besought I the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me, ⁹ and he said unto me, "My grace is sufficient for thee. For my strength is made perfect through weakness." Very gladly therefore will I rejoice of my weakness, that the strength of Christ may dwell in me. ¹⁰ Therefore have I delectation in infirmities, in rebukes, in need, in persecutions, in anguish, for Christ's sake. For when I am weak, then am I strong.

¹⁸ and pray always with all manner prayer and supplication — and that in the spirit — and watch thereunto with all instance and supplication for all saints, ¹⁹ and for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to utter the secrets of the gospel,

⁷ The end of all things is at hand. Be ye therefore discreet, and sober, that ye may be apt to prayers.

⁸ Be sober, and watch. For your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: ⁹ whom resist, steadfast in the faith, remembering that ye do but fulfill the same afflictions which are appointed to your brethren that are in the world.

¹⁰ Because thou hast kept the words of my patience, therefore I will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which will come upon all the world, to tempt them that dwell upon the earth.

³⁹ And he went away a little apart, and fell flat on his face, and prayed, saying, "O my father, if it possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless, not as I will, but as thou wilt."

³⁵ And he went forth a little and fell down on the ground and prayed that if it were possible, the hour might pass from him.

¹¹ The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, 'God, I thank thee that I am not as other men are; extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or as this publican.

⁸ that I should fulfill thy will, O my God. I am content to do it; yea, thy law is within my heart."

¹⁷ Awake, awake, and stand up, O Jerusalem: thou that from the hand of the LORD, hast drunken out the cup of his wrath; thou that hast supped of and sucked out the slumbering cup to the bottom.

²² Thus sayeth thy LORD, thy LORD and God, the defender of his people: Behold, I will take the slumbering cup out of thy hand, even the cup with the dregs of my wrath, that from henceforth thou shalt never drink it more.

¹⁵ "For thus hath the LORD God of Israel spoken unto me, 'Take this wine cup of indignation from my hand, that thou mayest cause all the people, to whom I send thee, for to drink of it:

⁴² He went away once more, and prayed, saying, "O my father, if this cup cannot pass away from me, but that I drink of it, thy will be fulfilled."

⁴⁴ And he left and went again, and prayed the third time saying the same words.

³⁶ And he said, "Abba father, all things are possible unto thee, take away this cup from me. Nevertheless, not that I will, but that thou wilt be done."

¹⁷ And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and said, "Take this, and divide it among you. ¹⁸ For I say unto you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God be come." ¹⁹ And he took bread, gave thanks, and brake it, and gave it unto them, saying, "This is my body which is given for you. This do in the remembrance of me." ²⁰ Likewise also, when they had supped, he took the cup saying, "This cup is the new testament, in my blood, which shall for you be shed.

³⁰ I can of mine own self do nothing at all. As I hear, I judge, and my judgment is just, because I seek not mine own will: But the will of the father which hath sent me.

³⁸ For I came down from heaven: not to do mine own will, but his will which hath sent me.

²⁷ "Now is my soul troubled. And what shall I say, 'Father deliver me from this hour?' But therefore came I unto this hour. ²⁸ Father, glorify thy name." Then came there a voice from heaven, "I have glorified it, and will glorify it again."

¹¹ Then said Jesus unto Peter, "Put up thy sword into the sheath: shall I not drink of the cup which my father hath given me?"

²⁸ Moreover, charge Joshua and courage him and bold him. For he shall go over before his people, and he shall divide the land which thou shalt see, unto them.'

³ Behold, thou hast been a teacher of many, and hast comforted the weary hands. ⁴ Thy words have set up those that were fallen, thou hast refreshed the weak knees.

¹¹ For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways. ¹² They shall bear thee in their hands, that thou hurt not thy foot against a stone.

¹⁶ Behold, there touched my lips one very like unto a man. Then opened I my mouth, and said unto him, that stood before me, "O my lord, my joints are loosed in the vision, and there is no more strength within me: ¹⁷ How may my lord's servant then talk with my lord? Seeing there is no strength in me, so that I cannot take my breath?" ¹⁸ Upon this there touched me, again, one much like a man, and comforted me, ¹⁹ saying, "O thou man so well beloved, fear not: be content, take a good heart unto thee, and be strong." So when he had spoken unto me, I recovered, and said, "Speak on, my lord, for thou hast refreshed me."

¹ And in the first year of Darius of Media, I stood by him, to comfort him and to strength him,

⁶ and said unto him, "If thou be the son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, 'He shall give his angels charge over thee: and with their hands they shall hold thee up, that thou dash not thy foot against a stone.'"

¹¹ Then the devil left him, and, Behold, the angels came and ministered unto him.

⁵³ Either thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my father, and he shall give me more than twelve legions of angels?

¹⁰ For it is written, 'He shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee, ¹¹ and with their hands they shall stay thee up, that thou dash not thy foot against a stone.'"

³² But I have prayed for thee that thy faith fail not. And when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren."

²³ and departed unto Antioch, and when he had tarried there a while, he departed, and went over all the country of Galatia and Phrygia by order, strengthening all the disciples.

¹⁶ And without nay, great is that mystery of godliness. God was showed in the flesh, was justified in the spirit, was seen of angels, was preached unto the gentiles, was believed on in earth and received up in glory.

⁶ And again when he bringeth in the first begotten son into the world, he saith, "And all the angels of God shall worship him."

¹⁴ Are they not all spirits to do service, sent for to minister for their sakes, which shall be heirs of salvation?

¹⁷ Wherefore in all things it became him to be made like unto his brethren, that he might be merciful, and a faithful high priest in things concerning God, for to purge the people's sins.

²⁴ and tarried behind; himself alone. And there wrestled a man with him unto the breaking of the day. ²⁵ And when he saw that he could not prevail against him, he smote him under the thigh, and the sinew of Jacob's thigh shrank as he wrestled with him. ²⁶ And he said, "Let me go, for the day breaketh." And he said, "I will not let thee go, except thou bless me." ²⁷ And he said unto him, "What is thy name?" He answered, "Jacob." ²⁸ And he said, "Thou shalt be called Jacob no more, but Israel. For thou hast wrestled with God and with men and hast prevailed."

¹ {To the Chanter, upon Aijeleth of the dawning, a Psalm of David} My God, my God: why hast thou forsaken me, and art so far from my health and from the words of my complaint? ² O my God, I cry in the daytime, but thou hearest not: and in the night season also I take no rest.

¹² Many oxen are come about me; fat bulls of Bashan close me in on every side. ¹³ They gape upon me with their mouths, as it were a rampaging and a roaring lion. ¹⁴ I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint: my heart also in the midst of my body is even like melting wax. ¹⁵ My strength is dried up like a potsherd, and my tongue cleaveth to my gums, and thou shalt bring me into the dust of death. ¹⁶ For many dogs are come about me, the counsel of the wicked layeth siege against me. ¹⁷ They pierced my hands and my feet; I may tell all my bones. They stand staring and looking upon me. ¹⁸ They part my garments among them, and cast lots upon my vesture. ¹⁹ But be not thou far from me, O LORD; thou art my succor. Haste thee to help me. ²⁰ Deliver my soul from the sword, my darling from the power of the dog. ²¹ Save me from the lion's mouth, and hear me from among the horns of the unicorns.

¹ {To the chanter, a Psalm of David} I waited patiently for the LORD, and he inclined unto me, and heard my calling. ² He brought me out of the horrible pit, out of the mire and clay; he set my feet upon the rock, and ordered my goings. ³ He hath put a new song in my mouth, even a thanksgiving unto our God. Many men seeing this, shall fear the LORD, and put their trust in him.

¹⁴ Take me out of the mire, that I sink not; Oh let me be delivered from them that hate me, and out of the deep waters. ¹⁵ Let not the water-flood drown me, neither let the deep swallow me up; and let not the pit shut her mouth upon me. ¹⁶ Hear me, O LORD, for thy loving-kindness is comfortable: turn thee unto me according to the multitude of thy mercies. ¹⁷ Hide not thy face from thy servant, for I am in trouble; O haste thee, and hear me. ¹⁸ Draw nigh unto my soul, and save it; O deliver me, because of mine enemies.

¹ {A Psalm and song of the sons of Korah, to the Chanter upon Mahalath, to give thanks, an Instruction of Heman the Ezrahite} O LORD God my Savior, I have cried day and night before thee; ² O let my prayer enter into thy presence. Incline thine ear unto my calling. ³ For my soul is full of trouble, and my life draweth nigh unto hell. ⁴ I am counted as one of them that go down into the pit, and I am even as a man that hath no strength; ⁵ free among the dead, like unto them that lie in the grave, which be out of remembrance, and are cut away from thy hand. ⁶ Thou hast laid me in the lowest pit, in a place of darkness and in the deep. ⁷ Thine indignation lieth hard upon me, and thou hast vexed me with all thy floods. Selah. ⁸ Thou hast put away mine acquaintance far from me, and made me to be abhorred of them. I am so fast in prison that I cannot get forth. ⁹ My sight faileth for very trouble: LORD, I have called daily upon thee, I have stretched forth my hands unto thee. ¹⁰ Dost thou show wonders among the dead? Can the Physicians raise them up again, that they may praise thee? Selah. ¹¹ May thy loving-kindness be showed in the grave? Or thy faithfulness in destruction? ¹² Shall thy wondrous works be known in the dark? Or thy righteousness in the land where all things are forgotten? ¹³ Unto thee have I cried, O LORD, and early shall my prayer come before thee. ¹⁴ LORD, why abhorrest thou my soul, and hidest thou thy face from me? ¹⁵ I am in misery, and like unto him that is at the point to die; even from my youth up, thy terrors have I suffered with a troubled mind. ¹⁶ Thy wrathful displeasure goeth over me; and the fear of thee hath undone me. ¹⁷ They came round about me daily like water, and compassed me together on every side. ¹⁸ My lovers and friends hast thou put away from me, and hid mine acquaintance out of my sight.

¹ {A song of the stairs} Out of the deep have I called unto thee, O LORD; LORD, hear my voice. ² O let thine ears consider well the voice of my complaint.

⁶ I stretch forth my hands unto thee; my soul gaspeth unto thee as a thirsty land. Selah. ⁷ Hear me, O LORD, and that soon, for my spirit waxeth faint; hide not thy face from me, lest I be like unto them that go down into the grave.

¹⁰ And yet the LORD determined to bruise him with infirmities. His soul giving herself for trangression, he shall see seed of long continuance; and the will of the LORD shall prosper in his hand.

¹² {Lamed} O ye all that go fore by, behold and see, if there be any sorrow like unto mine. wherewith the LORD hath troubled me in the day of his fearful wrath.

⁵³ They have put down my life into a pit, and laid a stone upon me. ⁵⁴ They poured water upon my head, then thought I, "Now am I undone." ⁵⁵ {Kuf} I called upon thy name, O LORD, out of the deep pit. ⁵⁶ Thou hast heard my voice, and hast not turned away thine ears from my sighing and crying.

² And he said, "In my tribulation I called unto the LORD, and he answered me: out of the belly of hell I cried, and thou heardest my voice. ³ For thou hadst cast me down deep in the midst of the sea; and the flood compassed me about: and all thy waves and rolls of water went over me.

²⁷ "Now is my soul troubled. And what shall I say, 'Father deliver me from this hour?' But therefore came I unto this hour.

⁷ Which in the days of his flesh, did offer up prayers and supplications, with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him from death: and was also heard, because of his godliness.

⁴⁰ And he came unto the disciples, and found them asleep, and said to Peter, "What, could ye not watch with me one hour?

⁴³ And he came, and found them asleep again. For their eyes were heavy.

³⁷ And he came and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, "Simon, sleepest thou? Couldest not thou watch with me one hour?

⁴⁰ And he returned and found them asleep again, for their eyes were heavy: neither could they wist what they might answer to him. ⁴¹ And he came the third time, and said unto them, "Sleep henceforth, and take your ease. It is enough. The hour is come; Behold the son of man shall be delivered into the hands of sinners.

⁴ let not thine eyes sleep, nor thine eyelids slumber. ⁵ Save thyself as a doe from the hand, and as a bird from the hand of the fowler. ⁶ Go to the Emmet, thou sluggard: consider her ways, and learn to be wise. ⁷ She hath no guide, no teacher, no leader: ⁸ yet in the summer she provideth her meat, and gathereth her food together in the harvest. ⁹ How long wilt thou sleep, thou sluggish man? When wilt thou arise out of thy sleep? ¹⁰ Yea, sleep on still a little, slumber a little, fold thy hands together yet a little, that thou mayest sleep: ¹¹ so shall poverty come unto thee as one that travaileth by the way, and necessity like a weaponed man.

⁶ And the master of the ship came to him and said unto him, "Why slumberest thou? Up! And call unto thy god, that God may think on us, that we perish not."

³⁴ Take heed to yourselves, lest your hearts be overcome with surfeiting and drunkenness, and cares of this world: and that, that day come on you unawares. ³⁵ For as a snare shall it come on all them that sit on the face of the earth. ³⁶ Watch therefore continually and pray, that ye may obtain grace to fly all this that shall come. And that ye may stand before the son of man."

⁴⁰ And when he came to the place, he said to them, "Pray, lest ye fall into temptation."

⁴⁵ Then came he to his disciples and said unto them, "Sleep henceforth, and take your rest. Take heed: the hour is at hand, and the son of man shall be betrayed into the hands of sinners. ⁴⁶ Rise, let us be going: Behold, he is at hand that shall betray me." ⁴⁷ While he yet spake, Lo, Judas, one of the twelve, came: and with him a great multitude with swords and staves, which were sent from the chief priests and elders of the people. ⁴⁸ And he that betrayed him, gave them a token, saying, "Whosoever I kiss, the same is he: lay hands on him." ⁴⁹ And forthwith-all he came to Jesus, and said, "Hail master." And kissed him. ⁵⁰ And Jesus said unto him, "Friend, wherefore art thou come?" Then came they and laid hands on Jesus and took him. ⁵¹ And behold, one of them which were with Jesus, stretched out his hand and drew his sword, and struck a servant of the high priest, and smote off his ear. ⁵² Then said Jesus unto him, "Put up thy sword into his sheath. For all they that lay hands on the sword, shall perish with the sword. ⁵³ Either thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my father, and he shall give me more than twelve legions of angels?

¹⁰ And Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve, went away unto the high priests, to betray him unto them.

⁴¹ And he came the third time, and said unto them, "Sleep henceforth, and take your ease. It is enough. The hour is come; Behold the son of man shall be delivered into the hands of sinners. ⁴² Rise up, let us go. Lo: he that betrayeth me is at hand." ⁴³ And immediately, while he yet spake, came Judas, one of the twelve, and with him a great number of people with swords and staves from the high priests and scribes and elders. ⁴⁴ And he that betrayed him had given them a general token, saying, "Whosoever I do kiss, he it is, take him, and lead him away warily." ⁴⁵ And as soon as he was come, he went straightway to him, and said unto him, "Master, master," and kissed him. ⁴⁶ And they laid their hands on him, and took him. ⁴⁷ And one of them that stood by drew out a sword, and smote a servant of the high priest, and cut off his ear. ⁴⁸ And Jesus answered and said unto them, "Ye be come out as unto a thief with swords and with staves for to take me? ⁴⁹ I was daily with you in the temple, teaching, and ye took me not: but that the scriptures should be fulfilled." ⁵⁰ And they all forsook him and ran away.

³ Then entered Satan into Judas, whose surname was Iscariot, which was of the number of the twelve: ⁴ and he went his way, and communed with the high priests and officers, how he might betray him to them. ⁵ And they were glad: and promised to give him money. ⁶ And he consented, and sought opportunity to betray him unto them, when the people were away.

² Judas also, which betrayed him, knew the place, for Jesus oftentimes resorted thither with his disciples. ³ Judas then after he had received a bond of men, and ministers of the high priests, and of the Pharisees, came thither with lanterns, and firebrands, and weapons. ⁴ Then Jesus, knowing all things that should come on him, went forth and said unto them, "Whom seek ye?" ⁵ They answered him, "Jesus of Nazareth." Jesus said unto them, "I am he." Judas also which betrayed him, stood with them. ⁶ But as soon as he had said unto them, "I am he," they went backwards and fell to the ground. ⁷ And he asked them again, "Whom seek ye?" They said, "Jesus of Nazareth." ⁸ Jesus answered, "I said unto you, I am he. If ye seek me, let these go their way." ⁹ That the saying might be fulfilled, which he spake, "Of them which thou gavest me have I not lost one." ¹⁰ Simon Peter had a sword, and drew it, and smote the high priest's servant, and cut off his right ear. The servant's name was Malchus. ¹¹ Then said Jesus unto Peter, "Put up thy sword into the sheath: shall I not drink of the cup which my father hath given me?"

¹⁶ "Ye men and brethren, this scripture must have needs been fulfilled which the holy ghost, through the mouth of David, spake before of Judas, which was guide to them that took Jesus: ¹⁷ For he was now numbered with us and had obtained fellowship in this ministration. ¹⁸ And the same hath now possessed a plot of ground with the reward of iniquity. And when he was hanged, burst asunder in the midst, and all his bowels gushed out.

⁹ And Joab said to Amasa, "Are all things in rest and peace my brother?" And Joab took Amasa by the chin with the right hand, as though he would have kissed him. ¹⁰ And Amasa took no heed to the knife that was in Joab's hand, with which Joab smote him in the short ribs, and shed out his bowels to the ground and smote him but one stroke, and he died. And then Joab and Abishai his brother followed after Sheba the son of Bichri.

²¹ Their mouths are softer than butter, and yet have they battle in their mind: their words are smoother than oil, and yet be they very swords.

⁶ Faithful are the wounds of a lover, but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful.

⁴⁸ And he that betrayed him, gave them a token, saying, "Whosoever I kiss, the same is he: lay hands on him." ⁴⁹ And forthwith-all he came to Jesus, and said, "Hail master." And kissed him. ⁵⁰ And Jesus said unto him, "Friend, wherefore art thou come?" Then came they and laid hands on Jesus and took him.

⁴⁴ And he that betrayed him had given them a general token, saying, "Whosoever I do kiss, he it is, take him, and lead him away warily." ⁴⁵ And as soon as he was come, he went straightway to him, and said unto him, "Master, master," and kissed him. ⁴⁶ And they laid their hands on him, and took him.

³⁸ And they said, "Lord, behold here are two swords." And he said unto them, "It is enough."

⁵¹ And behold, one of them which were with Jesus, stretched out his hand and drew his sword, and struck a servant of the high priest, and smote off his ear.

⁴⁷ And one of them that stood by drew out a sword, and smote a servant of the high priest, and cut off his ear.

¹⁹ Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves but give room unto the wrath of God. For it is written, "Vengeance is mine, and I will reward, saith the Lord."

⁴ For the weapons of our war are not carnal things, but things mighty in God to cast down strongholds;

⁸ Jesus answered, "I said unto you, I am he. If ye seek me, let these go their way." ⁹ That the saying might be fulfilled, which he spake, "Of them which thou gavest me have I not lost one."

²¹ Be not overcome of evil: But overcome evil with goodness.

¹ I Paul myself beseech you by the meekness and softness of Christ, which when I am present among you, am of no reputation, but am bold toward you being absent.

²¹ For hereunto verily were ye called, for Christ also suffered for us: leaving us an example that ye should follow his steps, ²² which did no sin, neither was there guile found in his mouth: ²³ which when he was reviled, reviled not again: when he suffered, he threatened not: but committed the cause to him that judgeth righteously,

¹⁵ And Jehoiada the priest commanded the captains of the hundreds that had the rule of the host, and said to them, "Bring her without the wall. And if any follow her, let him die with the sword. For the priest said, "She may not be slain in the house of the LORD."

⁵⁵ The same time said Jesus to the multitude, "Ye be come out as it were unto a thief, with swords and staves for to take me: daily I sat among you teaching in the temple, and ye took me not.

⁴⁸ And Jesus answered and said unto them, "Ye be come out as unto a thief with swords and with staves for to take me? ⁴⁹ I was daily with you in the temple, teaching, and ye took me not: but that the scriptures should be fulfilled."

⁴ and he went his way, and communed with the high priests and officers, how he might betray him to them.

²¹ But the Philistines took him, and put out his eyes; and brought him down to Gaza, and bound him with fetters. And he was made to grind in the prison house. ²² Howbeit, the hair of his head began to grow again after that he was shorn. ²³ Then the lords of the Philistines gathered them together, for to offer a solemn offering unto Dagon their god, and to rejoice: for they said, "Our god hath delivered Samson our enemy into our hands." ²⁴ And when the people saw him, they praised their god: for they said, "Our god hath delivered into our hands our enemy, that destroyed our country and slew many of us." ²⁵ And when their hearts were merry, they said, "Send for Samson and let him play before us." And they fetched Samson out of the prison house, and he played before them, and they set him between the pillars. ²⁶ And Samson said unto the lad that led him by the hand, "Set me that I may touch the pillars that the house stands upon, and that I may lean to them." ²⁷ And the house was full of men and women. And there was all the lords of the Philistines. And there were upon the roof a three thousand men and women, that beheld how Samson played. ²⁸ And Samson called unto the LORD, and said, "My Lord Jehovah think upon me, and strengthen me at this time only, O God, that I may be avenged of the Philistines for my two eyes." ²⁹ And Samson caught the two middle pillars on which the house stood and on which it was borne up, the one in his righthand, and the other in his left, ³⁰ and said, "My soul die with the Philistines," and bowed them with might. And the house fell upon the lords and upon all the people that were therein. And so the dead which he slew at his death, were more than they which he slew in his life.

⁵ the praise of the ungodly hath been short, and that the joy of the hypocrites continued but the twinkling of an eye?

¹² And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that bought and sold in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves. ¹³ And said to them, "It is written, 'My house shall be called the house of prayer, but ye have made it a den of thieves.'" ¹⁴ And the blind and the halt came to him in the temple, and he healed them. ¹⁵ When the chief priests and scribes saw the marvels that he did; and the children crying in the temple and saying, "Hosanna to the son of David"; they disdained,

²³ And when he was come into the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came unto him as he was teaching, and said, "By what authority doest thou these things? And who gave thee this power?"

³⁷ In the daytime taught he in the temple, and at night, he went out, and had abiding in the Mount Olivet. ³⁸ And all the people came in the morning to him in the temple, for to hear him.

²⁵ Then said some of them of Jerusalem, "Is not this he whom they go about to kill? ²⁶ Behold, he speaketh boldly, and they say nothing to him. Do the rulers know, indeed, that this is very Christ?

³⁰ Then sought they to take him: but no man laid hands on him, because his time was not yet come.

⁴⁵ Then came the ministers to the high priests and Pharisees. And they said unto them, "Why have ye not brought him?"

³⁰ Hereafter will I not talk many words unto you. For the chief ruler of this world cometh, and hath nought in me.

²⁰ Verily, verily I say unto you, Ye shall weep and lament, and the world shall rejoice. Ye shall sorrow: but your sorrow shall be turned to joy. ²¹ A woman when she travaileth hath sorrow, because her hour is come: but as soon as she is delivered of the child she remembereth no more the anguish, for joy that a man is born into the world. ²² And ye now are in sorrow: but I will see you again, and your hearts shall rejoice, and your joy shall no man take from you.

¹⁸ to open their eyes that they might turn from darkness unto light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith in me.'

³ If our Gospel be yet hid, it is hid among them that are lost, ⁴ in whom the God of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest should shine unto them the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, which is the image of God. ⁵ For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus to be the Lord, and preach ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake. ⁶ For it is God that commanded the light to shine out of darkness, which hath shined in our hearts, for to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

¹² For we wrestle not against flesh and blood: but against rule, against power, and against worldly rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness for heavenly things.

⁹ And the great dragon, that old serpent called the devil and Satan; Was cast out. Which deceiveth all the world. And he was cast into the earth, and his angels were cast out also. ¹⁰ And I heard a loud voice saying, "In heaven is now made salvation and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: For he is cast down which accused them before God day and night: ¹¹ And they overcame him by the blood of the lamb, and by the word of their testimony, and they loved not their lives unto the death. ¹² Therefore rejoice heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth, and of the sea: for the devil is come down unto you, which hath great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time."

³¹ But when the ambassadors of the lords of Babylon were sent to him to enquire of the wonder that chanced in the land, God left him: to tempt him, that all that was in his heart might be known.

⁵⁷ And they took Jesus and led him to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were assembled. ⁵⁸ And Peter followed him afar off, unto the high priest's place: and went in, and sat with the servants to see the end.

⁵³ And they led Jesus away to the highest priest of all, and to him came all the high priests and the elders, and the scribes. ⁵⁴ And Peter followed him a great way off, even into the palace of the high priest, and he was there and sat with the servants, and warmed himself at the fire.

³³ And he said unto him, "Lord, I am ready to go with thee into prison, and to death." ³⁴ And he said, "I tell thee Peter, the cock shall not crow this day, till thou have thrice denied that thou knowest me."

¹² Then the company, and the Captain, and the ministers of the Jews, took Jesus and bound him, ¹³ and led him away to Annas, first: For he was father-in-law unto Caiaphas, which was the high priest that same year. ¹⁴ Caiphas was he that gave counsel to the Jews that it was expedient that one man should die for the people. ¹⁵ And Simon Peter followed Jesus, and another disciple: that disciple was known of the high priest, and went in with Jesus into the palace of the high priest. ¹⁶ But Peter stood at the door without. Then went out that other disciple which was known unto the high priest, and spake to the damsel that kept the door, and brought in Peter. ¹⁷ Then said the damsel that kept the door unto Peter, "Art not thou one of this man's disciples?" He said, "I am not."

²⁴ And Annas sent him bound unto Caiaphas the high priest.

¹ O Blessed is the man that hath not walked in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stood in the way of sinners, and hath not sat in the seat of the scornful.

⁴ I have not dwelt with vain persons; neither will I have fellowship with the deceitful. ⁵ I hate the congregation of the wicked, and will not sit among the ungodly.

³ O pluck me not away, neither destroy me with the ungodly and wicked doers, which speak friendly to their neighbours, but imagine mischief in their hearts.

⁶ Forsake ignorance, and ye shall live: and see that ye go in the way of understanding."

²⁰ He that goeth in the company of wise men, shall be wise; but whoso is a companion of fools shall be hurt.

³ Then assembled together the chief priests and the scribes and the elders of the people into the palace of the high priest, called Caiaphas:

⁶⁹ Peter sat without in the palace, and a damsel came to him, saying, "Thou also wast with Jesus of Galilee." ⁷⁰ But he denied before them all saying, "I know not what thou sayest." ⁷¹ When he was gone out into the porch, another wench saw him, and said unto them that were there, "This fellow was also with Jesus of Nazareth." ⁷² And again he denied with an oath that he knew the man. ⁷³ And after a while, came unto him they that stood by, and said unto Peter, "Surely thou art even one of them, for thy speech betrayeth thee." ⁷⁴ Then began he to curse and to swear, that he knew not the man. And immediately the cock crew. ⁷⁵ And Peter remembered the words of Jesus, which he said unto him, "Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice": and went out at the doors and wept bitterly.

⁶⁶ And Peter was beneath in the palace, and there came one of the wenches of the highest priest; ⁶⁷ And when she saw Peter warming himself, she looked on him, and said, "Was not thou also with Jesus of Nazareth?" ⁶⁸ And he denied it, saying, "I know him not, neither know I what thou sayest." And he went out into the porch, and the cock crew. ⁶⁹ And a damsel saw him, and again began to say to them that stood by, This is one of them. ⁷⁰ And he denied it again. And anon after, they that stood by, said again to Peter, "Surely thou art one of them, for thou art of Galilee, and thy speech agreeth thereto."

⁴⁴ And he was in agony, and prayed somewhat longer: And his sweat was like drops of blood, trickling down to the ground.

¹⁶ But Peter stood at the door without. Then went out that other disciple which was known unto the high priest, and spake to the damsel that kept the door, and brought in Peter. ¹⁷ Then said the damsel that kept the door unto Peter, "Art not thou one of this man's disciples?" He said, "I am not." ¹⁸ The servants and the ministers stood there, and had made a fire of coals. For it was cold, and they warmed themselves. Peter also stood among them and warmed himself.

²⁵ Simon Peter stood and warmed himself, and they said unto him, "Art not thou also one of his disciples?" He denied it, and said, "I am not." ²⁶ One of the servants of the high priest, his cousin whose ear Peter smote off, said unto him, "Did not I see thee in the garden with him?" ²⁷ Peter denied it again: and immediately the cock crew.

³³ Be not deceived: malicious speakings corrupt good manners.

¹⁵ What concord hath Christ with Belial? Either, what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? ¹⁶ How agreeth the temple of God with images? And ye are the temple of the living God, as said God, "I will dwell among them, and walk among them, and will be their God: and they shall be my people." ¹⁷ Wherefore, "Come out from among them, and separate yourselves," saith the Lord, "and touch none unclean thing: so will I receive you,

⁶⁹ Peter sat without in the palace, and a damsel came to him, saying, "Thou also wast with Jesus of Galilee."

⁶ And Jesus said, "Let her be in rest. Why trouble ye her? She hath done a good work on me.

⁶⁶ And Peter was beneath in the palace, and there came one of the wenches of the highest priest; ⁶⁷ And when she saw Peter warming himself, she looked on him, and said, "Was not thou also with Jesus of Nazareth?" ⁶⁸ And he denied it, saying, "I know him not, neither know I what thou sayest." And he went out into the porch, and the cock crew.

¹⁷ Then said the damsel that kept the door unto Peter, "Art not thou one of this man's disciples?" He said, "I am not."

³³ But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my father which is in heaven.

⁷⁰ But he denied before them all saying, "I know not what thou sayest."

⁹ And he that denieth me before men, shall be denied before the angels of God.

²⁵ Simon Peter stood and warmed himself, and they said unto him, "Art not thou also one of his disciples?" He denied it, and said, "I am not."

¹³ The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the God of our fathers, hath glorified his son Jesus, whom ye delivered and denied in the presence of Pilate, when he had judged him to be loosed: ¹⁴ but ye denied the holy and just, and desired a murderer to be given you,

¹⁰ Herefore I suffer all things, for the elects' sakes, that they might also obtain that salvation which is in Christ Jesus, with eternal glory. ¹¹ It is a true saying: If we be dead with him, we also shall live with him; ¹² If we be patient, we shall also reign with him; If we deny him, he also shall deny us;

⁹ If we knowledge our sins, he is faithful and just, to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

⁷¹ When he was gone out into the porch, another wench saw him, and said unto them that were there, "This fellow was also with Jesus of Nazareth." ⁷² And again he denied with an oath that he knew the man.

⁶⁹ And a damsel saw him, and again began to say to them that stood by, This is one of them. ⁷⁰ And he denied it again. And anon after, they that stood by, said again to Peter, "Surely thou art one of them, for thou art of Galilee, and thy speech agreeth thereto."

⁷³ And after a while, came unto him they that stood by, and said unto Peter, "Surely thou art even one of them, for thy speech betrayeth thee." ⁷⁴ Then began he to curse and to swear, that he knew not the man. And immediately the cock crew.

³⁴ And he said, "I tell thee Peter, the cock shall not crow this day, till thou have thrice denied that thou knowest me."

²⁷ Such a respect hath he unto men. Therefore let a man confess, and say, 'I offended, but he hath chastened and reformed me: I did unrighteously nevertheless he hath not recompensed me thereafter.

¹⁵ For thus sayeth the high and excellent, even he that dwelleth in everlastingness, whose name is the holy one: I dwell high above and in the sanctuary, and with him also, that is of a contrite and humble spirit: that I may heal a troubled mind, and a contrite heart. ¹⁶ For I chide not ever, and am not wroth without end. But the blasting goeth from me, though I make the breath. ¹⁷ I am wroth with him for his covetousness and lust, I smite him, I hide me, and am angry, when he turneth himself, and followeth the byway of his own heart. ¹⁸ But if I may see his right way again, I make him whole, I lead him and restore him unto them whom he maketh joyful, and that were sorry for him.

¹⁸ Moreover, I heard Ephraim, that was led away captive, complain on this manner, 'O LORD, thou hast corrected me, and thy chastening have I received, as an untamed calf. Convert thou me, and I shall be converted, for thou art my LORD God. ¹⁹ Yea, as soon as thou turnest me, I shall reform myself: and when I understand, I shall smite upon my thigh. For verily I have committed shameful things: O let my youth bear this reproof and confusion.' ²⁰ Upon this complaint, I thought thus by myself: Is not Ephraim my dear son? Is he not the child, with whom I have had all mirth and pastime? For since the time that I first communed with him, I have him ever in remembrance: therefore my very heart driveth me unto him; gladly and lovingly will I have mercy upon him, sayeth the LORD.

⁶³ That thou mayest think upon it, be ashamed, and excuse thine own confusion no more: when I have forgiven thee all that thou hast done, sayeth the LORD God.'"

³¹ Then shall ye remember your own wicked ways, and your imaginations, which were not good: so that ye shall take displeasure at your own selves, by reason of your sins and abominations. ³² But I will not do this for your sakes, sayeth the LORD God: Be ye sure of it. Therefore, O ye house of Israel, be ashamed of your sins.

⁸ What great things have I given thee, O Ephraim? How faithfully have I defended thee, O Israel? Have I dealt with thee as with Adam? Or have I entreated thee like Zeboim? No, my heart is otherwise minded. Yea, my mercy is to fervent:

³⁰ And Jesus immediately felt, in himself, the virtue that went out of him, and turned him round about in the press, and said, "Who touched my clothes?"

¹³ And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her, and said unto her, "Weep not."

³¹ Him hath God lift up with his right hand, to be a ruler and a saviour: for to give repentance to Israel and forgiveness of sins.

¹¹ Wherefore, remember that ye, being in time past gentiles in the flesh, and were called "uncircumcision" to them which are called "circumcision" in the flesh — which circumcision is made by hands -

⁵ Remember, therefore, from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works. Or else I will come unto thee shortly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.

¹⁸ For I will confess my wickedness, and be sorry for my sin.

⁵ They that sow in tears, shall reap in joy. ⁶ He that now goeth on his way weeping, and beareth forth good seed, shall doubtless come again with joy, and bring his sheaves with him.

¹ {A song of the stairs} Out of the deep have I called unto thee, O LORD; LORD, hear my voice. ² O let thine ears consider well the voice of my complaint. ³ If thou, LORD wilt be extreme to mark what is done amiss, O LORD who may abide it? ⁴ But there is mercy with thee, that thou mayest be feared.

¹ {A Psalm of David} Hear my prayer, O LORD, and consider my desire; hearken unto me for thy truth and righteousness' sake. ² And enter not into judgment with thy servant; for in thy sight shall no man living be justified. ³ For the enemy persecuteth my soul; he smiteth my life down to the ground; he layeth me in the darkness, as the dead men of the world. ⁴ Therefore is my spirit vexed within me, and my heart within me is desolate.

¹⁸ Moreover, I heard Ephraim, that was led away captive, complain on this manner, 'O LORD, thou hast corrected me, and thy chastening have I received, as an untamed calf. Convert thou me, and I shall be converted, for thou art my LORD God.

¹⁶ "And such as escape and flee from among them, shall be upon the hills, like as the doves in the field: every one shall be afraid, because of his own wickedness.

¹⁰ Moreover, upon the house of David and upon the citizens of Jerusalem, will I pour out the spirit of grace and prayer, so that they shall look upon me, whom they have pierced: and they shall beweep him, as men mourn for their only begotten son: Yea, and be sorry for him, as men are sorry for their first child

⁴ Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.

¹² Wherefore, let him that thinketh he standeth, take heed lest he fall.

⁹ But I now rejoice, not that ye were sorry, but that ye so sorrowed, that ye repented. ¹⁰ For ye sorrowed godly: so that in nothing were ye hurt by us. For godly sorrow causeth repentance, unto salvation not to be repented of: when worldly sorrow causeth death. ¹¹ Behold what diligence this godly sorrow that ye took hath wrought in you: yea it caused you to clear yourselves. It caused indignation, it caused fear, it caused desire, it caused a fervent mind, it caused punishment. For in all things ye have showed yourselves that ye were clear in that matter.

⁹ He is angry at me, he hateth me, and gnasheth upon me with his teeth. Mine enemy scowleth upon me with his eyes. ¹⁰ They have opened their mouths wide upon me, and smitten me upon the cheek despitefully, they have eased themselves through mine adversity.

⁹ Now am I their song, and am become their jesting stock; ¹⁰ they abhor me, they flee far from me, and stain my face with spittle, ¹¹ for the LORD hath opened his quiver: he hath hit me, and put a bridle in my mouth. ¹² Upon my right hand they rose together against me; they have hurt my feet, made a way to destroy me, ¹³ and my path have they clean marred. It was so easy for them to do me harm, that they needed no man to help them. ¹⁴ They fell upon me, as it had been the breaking in of waters, and came in by heaps to destroy me.

⁶ But as for me, I am a worm and no man: a very scorn of men and the outcast of the people. ⁷ All they that see me, laugh me to scorn: they shoot out their lips, and shake their heads.

¹³ They gape upon me with their mouths, as it were a rampaging and a roaring lion.

¹⁵ But in mine adversity they rejoiced, and gathered themselves together: Yea, the very lame came together against me unawares, making mouths at me, and ceased not. ¹⁶ With the flatterers were busy mockers, who gnashed upon me with their teeth.

²⁵ Let them not say in their hearts, "There! There! So would we have it!" Neither let them say, "We have devoured him."

⁷ And why? For thy sake have I suffered reproof; shame hath covered my face. ⁸ I am become a stranger unto my brethren, even an alien unto my mother's children. ⁹ For the zeal of thine house hath even eaten me; and the rebukes of them that rebuked thee is fallen upon me. ¹⁰ I wept, and chastened myself with fasting, and that was turned to my reproof. ¹¹ I put on a sackcloth, and therefore they jested upon me. ¹² They that sit in the gate speak against me, and the drunkards make songs upon me.

⁷ Moreover, thus sayeth the LORD the avenger and holy one of Israel, because of the abhorring and despising among the Gentiles, concerning the servant of all them that bear rule: Kings and Princes shall see, and arise and worship, because of the LORD that he is faithful: and because of the holy one of Israel, which hath chosen thee.

⁶ But I offer my back unto the smiters, and my cheeks to the nippers. I turn not my face from shame and spitting, ⁷ for the LORD God helpeth me. Therefore shall I not be confounded. I have hardened my face like a flint stone, for I am sure, that I shall not come to confusion.

¹⁴ Like as the multitude shall wonder upon him, because his face shall be so deformed and not as a man's face, and his beauty like no man:

³ He was despised and cast out of men's company; and one that had suffered sorrow, and had experience of infirmity. And we were as one that had hid his face from him.

¹ After that shalt thou be robbed thyself, O thou robber's daughter: they shall lay siege against us, and smite the judge of Israel with a rod upon the cheek.

⁵⁹ The chief priests, and the elders, and all the council, sought false witness against Jesus, for to put him to death, ⁶⁰ but found none: insomuch that when many false witnesses came, yet found they none. At the last came two false witnesses, ⁶¹ and said, "This fellow said, I can destroy the temple of God, and build the it again in three days." ⁶² And the chief priest arose, and said to him, "Answerest thou nothing? How is it that these bear witness against thee?" ⁶³ But Jesus held his peace. And the chief priest answered, and said to him, "I charge thee in the name of the living God, that thou tell us whether thou be Christ the son of God." ⁶⁴ Jesus said to him, "Thou hast said. Nevertheless I say unto you, hereafter shall ye see the son of man sitting on the righthand of power, and come in the clouds of the sky." ⁶⁵ Then the high priest rent his clothes saying, "He hath blasphemed: what need we of any more witnesses? Behold, now have ye heard his blasphemy: ⁶⁶ What think ye?" They answered and said, "He is worthy to die." ⁶⁷ Then spat they in his face, and buffeted him with their fists. And others smote him with the palm of their hands on the face, ⁶⁸ saying, "Tell us, thou Christ, who is he that smote thee?"

²⁸ And they stripped him, and put on him a purple robe, ²⁹ and plaited a crown of thorns and put upon his head, and a reed in his right hand. And bowed their knees before him, and mocked him, saying, "Hail, King of the Jews," ³⁰ and spitted upon him, and took the reed and smote him on the head. ³¹ And when they had mocked him, they took the robe off him again, and put his own raiment on him, and led him away to crucify him.

³⁹ They that passed by reviled him, wagging their heads ⁴⁰ and saying, "Thou that destroyest the temple of God, and buildest it in three days: save thyself. If thou be the son of God, come down from the cross." ⁴¹ Likewise also the high priests, mocking him with the scribes and elders, said, ⁴² "He saved others, himself he cannot save. If he be the King of Israel: let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe him. ⁴³ He trusted in God: let God deliver him now if he will have him, for he said, 'I am the son of God.'" ⁴⁴ That same, also the thieves which were crucified with him cast in his teeth.

⁵⁵ And the high priests and all the council sought for witness against Jesus, to put him to death; And they found none. ⁵⁶ Yet many bare false witness against him, but their witness agreed not together. ⁵⁷ And there arose certain and brought false witness against him, saying, ⁵⁸ "We heard him say, 'I will destroy this temple made with hands, and within three days I will build another, made without hands.'" ⁵⁹ But their witness agreed not together. ⁶⁰ And the highest priest stood up amongst them all, and asked Jesus saying, "Answerest thou nothing? How is it that these bear witness against thee?" ⁶¹ And he held his peace, and answered nothing. Again the highest priest asked him, and said unto him, "Art thou the Christ, the son of the blessed?" ⁶² And Jesus said, "I am. And ye shall see the son of man sit on the righthand of power, and come in the clouds of heaven." ⁶³ Then the highest priest rent his clothes and said, "What need we any further of witness? ⁶⁴ Ye have heard the blasphemy, what think ye?" And they all gave sentence that he was worthy of death. ⁶⁵ And some began to spit at him, and to cover his face, and to beat him with their fists, and to say unto him, "Aread unto us." And the servants buffeted him on the face.

¹⁶ And the soldiers led him away into the common hall, and called together the whole multitude, ¹⁷ and they clothed him with purple, and they plaited a crown of thorns and crowned him withal; ¹⁸ And began to salute him, "Hail, King of the Jews." ¹⁹ And they smote him on the head with a reed, and spat upon him, and kneeled down and worshipped him. ²⁰ And when they had mocked him, they took the purple off him, and put his own clothes on him, and led him out, to crucify him.

²⁷ And they crucified with him two thieves: the one on the right hand, and the other on his left hand. ²⁸ And the scripture was fulfilled, which sayeth, "And he was counted among the wicked." ²⁹ And they that went by, railed on him: wagging their heads, and saying, "A wretch, that destroyest the temple and buildest it in three days. ³⁰ Save thyself, and come down from the cross." ³¹ Likewise also mocked him the high priests among themselves with the scribes, and said, "He saved other men, himself he cannot save. ³² Let Christ the King of Israel now descend from the cross, that we may see and believe." And they that were crucified with him, checked him also.

²² When he had thus spoken, one of the ministers which stood by, smote Jesus on the face saying, "Answerest thou the high priest so?"

² looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, which for the joy that was set before him, abode the cross, and despised the shame, and is set down on the righthand of the throne of God.

²³ which when he was reviled, reviled not again: when he suffered, he threatened not: but committed the cause to him that judgeth righteously,

²¹ But the Philistines took him, and put out his eyes; and brought him down to Gaza, and bound him with fetters. And he was made to grind in the prison house.

²⁵ And when their hearts were merry, they said, "Send for Samson and let him play before us." And they fetched Samson out of the prison house, and he played before them, and they set him between the pillars.

³¹ Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men, but the blasphemy of the spirit shall not be forgiven unto men. ³² And whosoever speaketh a word against the son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the holy ghost, it shall not be forgiven him: no, neither in this world, neither in the world to come.

³⁹ They that passed by reviled him, wagging their heads

¹⁰ And whosoever speaketh a word against the son of man, it shall be forgiven him. But unto him that blasphemeth the holy ghost, it shall not be forgiven.

¹¹ "And I punished them oft in every synagogue, and compelled them to blaspheme: and was yet more mad upon them, and persecuted them even unto strange cities.

¹³ when before I was a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and a tyrant. But I obtained mercy because I did it ignorantly, through unbelief: ¹⁴ Neverthelater, the grace of our Lord was more abundant, with faith and love, which is in Christ Jesus.

¹ W hy did the heathen rage and the people imagine vain things? ² The kings of the earth stood up and the rulers came together against the LORD, and against his Christ. ³ Let us break their bonds asunder, and cast away their cords from us.

²² But I say unto you, Whosoever is angry with his brother shall be in danger of judgment: whosoever sayeth unto his brother, 'Raca,' shall be in danger of a council: but whosoever sayeth, 'Thou fool,' shall be in danger of hell fire.

¹ when the morning was come, all the chief priests and the elders of the people held a counsel against Jesus, to put him to death,

¹ And anon in the dawning held the high priests a council with the elders and the scribes; And also the whole congregation, and bound Jesus and led him away, and delivered him to Pilate.

²⁸ Then led they Jesus from Caiaphas into the hall of judgment. It was in the morning, and they themselves went not into the judgment hall lest they should be defiled, but that they might eat the paschal lamb.

⁵ as the chief priest doth bear me witness, and all the elders: of whom also I received letters unto the brethren, and went to Damascus to bring them which were there bound unto Jerusalem for to be punished.

³ "Art thou he that shall come? or, shall we look for another?" ⁴ Jesus answered and said unto them, "Go and show John what ye have heard and seen: ⁵ The blind see, the halt go, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are risen again, and the glad tidings is preached to the poor.

⁶¹ And he held his peace, and answered nothing. Again the highest priest asked him, and said unto him, "Art thou the Christ, the son of the blessed?" ⁶² And Jesus said, "I am. And ye shall see the son of man sit on the righthand of power, and come in the clouds of heaven." ⁶³ Then the highest priest rent his clothes and said, "What need we any further of witness? ⁶⁴ Ye have heard the blasphemy, what think ye?" And they all gave sentence that he was worthy of death. ⁶⁵ And some began to spit at him, and to cover his face, and to beat him with their fists, and to say unto him, "Aread unto us." And the servants buffeted him on the face. ⁶⁶ And Peter was beneath in the palace, and there came one of the wenches of the highest priest;

³¹ He said unto him, 'If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they believe, though one rose from death again.'"

³⁹ Search the scriptures: for in them, ye think ye have eternal life; and they are they which testify of me. ⁴⁰ And yet will ye not come to me that ye might have life. ⁴¹ I receive not praise of men: ⁴² But I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you. ⁴³ I am come in my father's name, and ye receive me not. If another shall come in his own name, him will ye receive. ⁴⁴ How can ye believe, which receive honour one of another, and seek not the honour that cometh of God only? ⁴⁵ Do not think that I will accuse you to my father. There is one that accuseth you, even Moses in whom ye trust. ⁴⁶ For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me: For he wrote of me. ⁴⁷ But seeing ye believe not his writing, how shall ye believe my words?"

⁴³ Why do ye not know my speech? Even because ye cannot abide the hearing of my words. ⁴⁴ Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father, ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning; And abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, then speaketh he of his own. For he is a liar, and the father thereof. ⁴⁵ And because I tell you the truth, therefore ye believe me not.

²⁷ He answered them, "I told you right now! A And ye did not hear. Wherefore would ye hear it again? Will ye also be his disciples?" ²⁸ Then rated they him, and said, "Thou art his disciple. We be Moses' disciples.

²⁴ Then came the Jews round about him, and said unto him, "How long dost thou make us doubt? If thou be Christ, tell us plainly." ²⁵ Jesus answered them, "I told you and ye believe not: The works that I do in my father's name, they bear witness of me: ²⁶ but ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep. As I said unto you,

³⁷ And though he had done so many miracles before them, yet believed not they on him, ³⁸ that the saying of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, that he spake, "Lord who shall believe our saying? And to whom is the arm of the Lord opened?" ³⁹ Therefore could they not believe, because that Isaiah saith again, ⁴⁰ "He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their hearts: that they should not see with their eyes, and understand with their hearts, and should be converted and I should heal them." ⁴¹ Such things said Isaiah when he saw his glory, and spake of him. ⁴² Nevertheless, among the chief rulers many believed on him: but because of the Pharisees they would not be a known of it, lest they should be excommunicated. ⁴³ For they loved the praise that is given of men, more than the praise that cometh of God.

³ He answered and said unto them, "I also will ask you a question: and answer me. ⁴ The baptism of John: was it from heaven, or of men?" ⁵ And they thought within themselves saying, "If we shall say. 'From heaven,' he will say, 'Why then believed ye him not?' ⁶ But and if we shall say, 'Of men,' all the people will stone us. For they surely be persuaded that John is a prophet." ⁷ And they answered that they could not tell whence it was.

⁴¹ Then said he unto them, "How say they that Christ is David's son? ⁴² And David himself saith in the book of the Psalms, 'The Lord said unto my Lord: Sit on my right hand, ⁴³ till I make thine enemies thy foot stool.' ⁴⁴ Seeing David then calleth him Lord: How is he also then his son?"

¹ {A Psalm of David} The LORD said unto my LORD, "Sit thou on my righthand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool."

¹³ I saw in a vision by night, and behold, there came one in the clouds of heaven like the Son of Man - which went unto the Ancient of Days, before whom they brought him. ¹⁴ Then gave he him power and dignity regal, that all people, tribes and tongues should serve him. His power is an everlasting power, which shall never be put down: and his kingdom endureth uncorrupt.

⁴⁴ 'The Lord said to my Lord, sit on my right hand: till I make thine enemies thy footstool.'

⁶⁴ Jesus said to him, "Thou hast said. Nevertheless I say unto you, hereafter shall ye see the son of man sitting on the righthand of power, and come in the clouds of the sky."

⁶² And Jesus said, "I am. And ye shall see the son of man sit on the righthand of power, and come in the clouds of heaven."

¹⁹ So then when the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received into heaven, and is set down on the righthand of God.

⁵⁵ But he, being full of the holy ghost, looked up steadfastly with his eyes into heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the righthand of God, ⁵⁶ and said, "Behold, I see the heavens open, and the son of man standing on the righthand of God."

²⁰ which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead and set him on his righthand in heavenly things, ²¹ above all rule, power, and might, and domination, and above all names that are named, not in this world only, but also in the world to come. ²² And hath put all things under his feet, and hath made him above all things, the head of the congregation: ²³ which is his body, and fullness of him, that filleth all in all things.

⁸ Wherefore he saith, "He is gone up on high, and hath led captivity captive, and hath given gifts unto men." ⁹ That he ascended: what meaneth it, but that he also descended first into the lowest parts of the earth? ¹⁰ He that descended, is even the same also that ascended up, even above all heavens, to fulfill all things.

¹ If ye be then risen again with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the righthand of God.

³ Which son, being the brightness of his glory, and very image of his substance, bearing up all things with the word of his power, hath in his own person purged our sins, and is sitten on the righthand of the majesty on high,

¹ Of the things which we have spoken, this is the sum: that we have such a high priest, that is sitten on the righthand of the seat of majesty in heaven;

²² which is our righthand of God, and is gone into heaven: angels, power, and might subdued unto him.

¹ And he showed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the seat of God and of the lamb.

⁷ As for me, I will preach the law, whereof the LORD hath said unto me, "Thou art my son, this day have I begotten thee.

¹² Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and so ye perish from the right way. For his wrath shall be kindled shortly: blessed are all they that put their trust in him.

¹⁷ And, lo, there came a voice from heaven, saying, "This is that, my beloved son, in whom is my delight."

³ Then came to him the tempter, and said, "If thou be the son of God, command that these stones be made bread."

¹¹ Jesus stood before the deputy, and the deputy asked him, saying, "Art thou the King of the Jews?" Jesus said unto him, "Thou sayest."

⁴³ He trusted in God: let God deliver him now if he will have him, for he said, 'I am the son of God.'"

⁵⁴ When the centurion, and they that were with him, watching Jesus, saw the earthquake and those things which happened, they feared greatly, saying, "Of a surety this was the son of God."

² And Pilate asked him, "Art thou the King of the Jews?" And he answered, and said unto him, "Thou sayest it."

⁴¹ And devils also came out of many of them, crying and saying, "Thou art Christ the son of God." And he rebuked them, and suffered them not to speak, for they knew that he was Christ.

³ And Pilate opposed him, saying, "Art thou the King of the Jews?" He answered him, and said, "Thou sayest it."

³⁴ And I saw it, and bare record, that this is the son of God."

⁴⁹ Nathanael answered and said unto him, "Rabbi, thou art the son of God; Thou art the King of Israel."

³⁰ And I and my father are one."

³⁶ say ye then to him, whom the father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, 'Thou blasphemest, because I said I am the son of God?'

³⁷ Pilate said unto him, "Art thou a King then?" Jesus answered, "Thou sayest that I am a King. For this cause was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. And all that are of the truth hear my voice."

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."

⁶⁵ Then the high priest rent his clothes saying, "He hath blasphemed: what need we of any more witnesses? Behold, now have ye heard his blasphemy: ⁶⁶ What think ye?" They answered and said, "He is worthy to die."

⁶³ Then the highest priest rent his clothes and said, "What need we any further of witness? ⁶⁴ Ye have heard the blasphemy, what think ye?" And they all gave sentence that he was worthy of death.
