¹ It came to pass as the people pressed upon him, to hear the word of God, that he stood by the lake of Gennesaret: ² and saw two ships stand by the lakeside, but the fishermen were gone out of them, and were washing their nets. ³ And he entered into one of the ships, which pertained to Simon, and prayed him, that he would thrust out a little from the land. And he sat down and taught the people out of the ship. ⁴ When he had left speaking, he said unto Simon, "Launch out into the deep, and let slip your nets to make a draught." ⁵ And Simon answered, and said to him, "Master, we have laboured all night, and have taken nothing. Neverthelater, at thy word I will loose forth the net." ⁶ And when they had so done, they enclosed a great multitude of fishes. And their net brake: ⁷ but they made signs to their fellows which were in the other ship, that they should come and help them. And they came, and they filled both the ships, that they sunk again. ⁸ When Simon Peter saw that, he fell down at Jesus' knees saying, "Lord go from me, for I am a sinful man." ⁹ For he was utterly astonished, and all that were with him at the draught of fish which they took: ¹⁰ and so was also James and John, the sons of Zebedee, which were partners with Simon.

And immediately the leprosy departed from him. ¹⁴ And he warned him, that he should tell no man: but that he should go and show himself to the priest, and offer for his cleansing according as Moses commandment was, for a witness unto them. ¹⁵ But his fame spread so much the more abroad, and much people came together to hear, and to be healed of him, of their infirmities. ¹⁶ And he kept himself apart in the wildernesses, and gave himself to prayer. ¹⁷ And it happened on a certain day, that he taught: and there sat the Pharisees, and doctors of law, which were come out of all the towns of Galilee, Jewry, and Jerusalem, and the power of the Lord was to heal them. ¹⁸ And behold, men brought a man lying in his bed, which was taken with a palsy, and they sought means to bring him in, and to lay him before him. ¹⁹ And when they could not find by what way they might bring him in, because of the press, they went up on the top of the house, and let him down through the tiling, bed and all, in the midst before Jesus. ²⁰ When he saw their faith he said unto him, "Man, thy sins are forgiven thee." ²¹ And the scribes, and the Pharisees, began to think saying, "What fellow is this: which speaketh blasphemy? Who can forgive sins, but God only?" ²² When Jesus perceived their thoughts, he answered and said unto them, "What think ye in your hearts? ²³ Whether is easier to say: 'Thy sins are forgiven thee?' Or to say: 'Rise and walk?' ²⁴ But that ye may know that the son of man hath power to forgive sins on earth," he said unto the sick of the palsy, "I say to thee, arise, take up thy bed and go home to thy house." ²⁵ And immediately he rose up before them all, and took up his bed whereon he lay, and departed to his own house praising God. ²⁶ And they were all amazed, and they lauded God, and were filled with fear, saying, "We have seen strange things today." ²⁷ And after that, he went forth, and saw a publican, named Levi, sitting at the receipt of custom, and said unto him, "Follow me." ²⁸ And he left all, rose up, and followed him. ²⁹ And that same Levi made him a great feast at home in his own house. And there was a great company of publicans, and of others that sat at meat with him. ³⁰ And the scribes and Pharisees murmured against his disciples, saying, "Why eat ye and drink ye, with publicans and sinners?" ³¹ Jesus answered and said unto them, "They that are whole, need not of the physician: but they that are sick. ³² I came not to call the righteous: but the sinners to repentance." ³³ Then they said unto him, "Why do the disciples of John fast often and pray: and the disciples of the Pharisees also: and thine eat and drink?" ³⁴ And he said unto them, "Can ye make the Children of the wedding fast, as long as the bridegroom is present with them? ³⁵ The days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them: then shall they fast in those days." ³⁶ Then he spake unto them in a similitude, "No man putteth a piece of a new garment, into an old vesture: for if he do, then breaketh he the new: and the piece that was taken out of the new, agreeth not with the old. ³⁷ Also no man poureth new wine into old vessels: for if he do, the new wine breaketh the vessels, and runneth out itself, and the vessels perish: ³⁸ But new wine must be poured into new vessels, and both are preserved. ³⁹ Also no man that drinketh old wine, straightway can away with new, for he sayeth: the old is pleasanter."

If the hair in the sore be turned unto white, and the sore also seem to be lower than the skin of his flesh, then it is surely a leprosy, and let the priest look on him and make him unclean. ⁴ If there be but a white pleck in the skin of his flesh, and seem not to be lower than the other skin nor the hair thereof is turned unto white: then let the priest shut him up seven days. ⁵ And let the priest look upon him the seventh day: if the sore seem to him to abide still and to go no further in the skin, then let the priest shut him up yet seven days more. ⁶ And let the priest look on him again the seventh day. Then if the sore be waxed blackish, and is not grown abroad in the skin, let the priest make him clean, for it is but a scurf. And let him wash his clothes, and then he is clean. ⁷ But and if the scab grow in the skin after that he is seen of the priest again. ⁸ If the priest see that the scab be grown abroad in the skin, let him make him unclean: for it is surely a leprosy. ⁹ "If the plague of leprosy be in a man, let him be brought unto the priest, ¹⁰ and let the priest see him. If the rising appear white in the skin, and have also made the hair white, and there be raw flesh in the sore also: ¹¹ then it is an old leprosy in the skin of his flesh. And the priest shall make him unclean, and shall not shut him up for he is unclean. ¹² If a leprosy break out in the skin and cover all the skin from the head to the foot, over all wheresoever the priest looketh, ¹³ then let the priest look upon him. If the leprosy have covered all his flesh, let him judge the disease clean: for inasmuch as he is altogether white he is, therefore, clean. ¹⁴ But and if there be raw flesh on him when he is seen, then he shall be unclean.

¹⁰ and the cloud departed from the tabernacle. And behold, Miriam was become leprous, as it were snow.

I will cleanse you. ²⁶ And I will give you a new heart, and will put a new spirit in you. And will take away that stony heart out of your flesh, and give you a fleshly heart. ²⁷ And I will put my spirit in you, and will make that ye shall walk in mine ordinances and keep my laws and do them.

²⁹ "I will help you out of all your uncleannesses. I will call for the corn, and will increase it, and will let you have no hunger.

⁴ I will heal their obedience and will love them of mine own accord: for my wrath is ceased from them.

²⁹ Then touched he their eyes saying, "According to your faith, be it unto you." ³⁰ And their eyes were opened. And Jesus charged them, saying, "See that no man know of it."

³⁹ And he stood over her, and rebuked the fever: and it left her. And immediately she arose and ministered unto them.

⁵⁴ And he thrust them all out at the doors, and caught her by the hand, and cried, saying, "Maid arise." ⁵⁵ And her spirit came again, and she rose straightway. And he commanded to give her meat.

⁵⁰ Jesus said unto him, "Go thy way, thy son liveth." And the man believed the words that Jesus had spoken unto him, and went his way. ⁵¹ And anon as he went on his way, his servants met him, and told him, saying, "Thy child liveth." ⁵² Then enquired he of them the hour when he began to amend. And they said unto him, "Yesterday, the seventh hour, the fever left him." ⁵³ And the father knew that it was the same hour in which Jesus said unto him, "Thy son liveth." And he believed, and all his household.

² "When there appeareth a rising in any man's flesh — either a scab or a glistering white — as though the plague of leprosy were in the skin of his flesh, then let him be brought unto Aaron the priest or unto one of his sons, the priests.

² "This is the law of a leper when he shall be cleansed: He shall be brought unto the priest, ³ and the priest shall go out without the host and look upon him. If the plague of leprosy be healed in the leper, ⁴ then shall the priest command that there be brought for him that shall be cleansed two living birds that are clean, and cypress wood, and a piece of purple cloth and hyssop. ⁵ And the priest shall command that one of the birds be killed over an earthen vessel of running water. ⁶ And the priest shall take the living bird and the cypress wood and the purple and the hyssop, and shall dip them and the living bird in the blood of the slain bird, and in the running water, ⁷ and sprinkle it upon him that must be cleansed of his leprosy seven times and cleanse him, and shall let the living bird go free into the fields. ⁸ "And he that is cleansed shall wash his clothes and shave off all his hair, and wash himself in water, and then he is clean. And after that he shall come into the host, but shall tarry without his tent seven days. ⁹ When the seventh day is come, he shall shave off all his hair both upon his head and his beard and on his brows: and even all the hair that is on him, shall be shaven off. And he shall wash his clothes and his flesh in water, and then he shall be clean. ¹⁰ And when the eighth day is come, let him take two lambs without blemish and a ewe lamb of a year old without blemish, and three tenth deals of fine flour for a meat offering mingled with oil, and a log of oil. ¹¹ Then let the priest that maketh him clean, bring the man that is made clean with those things before the LORD unto the door of the tabernacle of witness. ¹² And let the priest take one of the lambs and offer him for a trespass offering, and the log of oil: and wave them before the LORD. ¹³ And then let him slay the lamb in the place where the sin offering and the burnt offering are slain: even in the holy place. For as the sin offering is, even so is the trespass offering the priest's: for it is most holy. ¹⁴ "Then let the priest take of the blood of the trespass offering, and put it upon the tip of the right ear of him that is cleansed, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the great toe of his right foot. ¹⁵ Then let the priest take of the log of oil, and pour it into the palm of his left hand, ¹⁶ and dip his right finger in the oil that is in the palm of his left hand, and let him sprinkle it with his finger seven times before the LORD. ¹⁷ And of the rest of the oil that is in his hand, shall the priest put upon the tip of the right ear of him that is cleansed, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the great toe of his right foot: even upon the blood of the trespass offering. ¹⁸ And the remnant of the oil that is in the priest's hand, he shall pour upon the head of him that is cleansed: and so shall be priest make an atonement for him before the LORD. ¹⁹ "Then let the priest offer the sin offering, and make an atonement for him that is cleansed for his uncleanness. And then let the burnt offering be slain, ²⁰ and let the priest put both the burnt offering and the meat offering upon the altar; and make an atonement for him, and then he shall be clean. ²¹ If he be poor and can not get so much, then let him bring one lamb for a trespass offering to wave it and to make an atonement for him, and a tenth deal of fine flour mingled with oil for a meat offering, and a log of oil, ²² and two turtle doves or two young pigeons which he is able to get, and let the one be a sin offering and the other a burnt offering. ²³ And let him bring them the eighth day for his cleansing, unto the priest, to the door of the tabernacle of witness before the LORD. ²⁴ And let the priest take the lamb that is the trespass offering and the log of oil, and wave them before the LORD. ²⁵ And when the lamb of the trespass offering is killed, the priest shall take of the blood of the trespass offering, and put it upon the tip of his right ear that is cleansed, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the great toe of his right foot. ²⁶ And the priest shall pour of the oil into his right hand, ²⁷ and shall sprinkle with his finger of the oil that is in his left hand seven times before the LORD. ²⁸ "And the priest shall put of the oil that is in his hand, upon the tip of the right ear of him that is cleansed, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the great toe of his right foot: even in the place where the blood of the trespass offering was put. ²⁹ And the rest of the oil that is in his hand, he shall pour upon the head of him that is cleansed: to make an atonement for him before the LORD. ³⁰ And he shall offer one of the turtle doves or of the young pigeons, such as he can get: ³¹ the one for a sin offering and the other for a burnt offering upon the altar. And so shall the priest make an atonement for him that is cleansed before the LORD. ³² This is the law of him that hath the plague of leprosy, whose hand is not able to get that which pertaineth to his cleansing."

⁴ And Jesus said unto him, "See thou tell no man; but go, and show thyself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, to be offered in witness to them."

³⁰ And their eyes were opened. And Jesus charged them, saying, "See that no man know of it."

¹⁸ And ye shall be brought to the head rulers and kings for my sake, in witness to them and to the Gentiles.

¹⁶ and charged them, that they should not make him known:

⁴⁴ and said unto him, "See that thou say nothing to any man, but get thee hence and show thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing those things which Moses commanded, for a testimonial unto them."

¹¹ And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear you, when ye depart thence, shake off the dust that is under your feet, for a witness unto them. I say verily unto you, it shall be easier for Sodom and Gomorra, at the day of judgment, than for that city."

⁵ And whosoever will not receive you, when ye go out of that city, shake off the very dust from your feet, for a testimony against them."

¹⁴ When he saw them, he said unto them, "Go and show yourselves to the priests." And it chanced, as they went, they were cleansed.

³³ The fear of the LORD is the right science of wisdom; and lowliness goeth before honour.

²³ And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healed all manner of sickness and all manner diseases among the people. ²⁴ And his fame spread abroad throughout all Syria: and they brought unto him all sick people that were taken with divers diseases and gripings, and them that were possessed with devils and those which were lunatic and those that had the palsy: and he healed them. ²⁵ And there followed him a great number of people from Galilee, and from the ten cities, and from Jerusalem, and from Jewry, and from the regions that lie beyond Jordan.

²⁶ And this was noised throughout all that land.

³⁰ And much people came unto him, having with them halt, blind, dumb, maimed, and other many: and cast them down at Jesus' feet. And he healed them, ³¹ insomuch that the people wondered, to see the dumb speak, the maimed whole; and the halt to go, the blind to see. And they glorified the God of Israel.

²⁸ And immediately his fame spread abroad throughout all the region bordering on Galilee.

⁴⁵ But he, as soon as he was departed, began to tell many things and to publish the deed, insomuch that Jesus could no more openly enter into the city, but was without in desert places, and they came to him from every quarter.

⁷ And Jesus avoided with his disciples to the sea: and a great multitude followed him from Galilee and from Jewry,

²⁵ There went a great company with him, and he turned and said unto them,

² And a great multitude followed him, because they had seen his miracles which he did on them that were diseased.

²⁵ Likewise, also, good works are manifest beforehand, and they that are otherwise, cannot be hid.

²³ And as soon as he had sent the people away, he went up into a mountain alone to pray. And when night was come he was there himself alone.

³⁵ And in the morning, very early, Jesus arose and went out into a solitary place, and there prayed. ³⁶ And Simon and they that were with him followed after him.

⁴⁶ And as soon as he had sent them away, he departed into a mountain to pray.

¹² And it fortuned in those days, that he went out into a mountain for to pray, and continued all night in prayer to God.

¹⁵ When Jesus perceived that they would come, and take him up to make him King, he departed again: into a mountain, himself alone.

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.

¹ Then came to Jesus scribes and Pharisees from Jerusalem, saying,

²² And the scribes, which came from Jerusalem, said, "He hath Beelzebub, and by the power of the chief devil, casteth out devils."

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?"

¹ And the Pharisees came together unto him, and divers of the scribes which came from Jerusalem.

¹⁸ and shall kill serpents. And if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them. They shall lay their hands on the sick, and they shall recover."

⁴⁶ And it fortuned, after three days, that they found him in the temple sitting in the midst of the doctors: both hearing them, and posing them.

²¹ And the scribes, and the Pharisees, began to think saying, "What fellow is this: which speaketh blasphemy? Who can forgive sins, but God only?"

³⁰ And the scribes and Pharisees murmured against his disciples, saying, "Why eat ye and drink ye, with publicans and sinners?"

¹⁹ And all the people pressed to touch him: for there went virtue out of him, and healed them all.

³⁰ But the Pharisees and scribes despised the counsel of God, against themselves, and were not baptised of him.

⁴⁶ And Jesus said, "Somebody touched me. For I perceive that virtue is gone out of me."

⁵² Woe be to you lawyers: for ye have taken away the key of knowledge, ye entered not in yourselves, and them that came in ye forbade." ⁵³ When he thus spake unto them, the lawyers and the Pharisees began to wax busy about him, and to stop his mouth with many questions; ⁵⁴ Laying wait for him, and seeking to catch something of his mouth, whereby they might accuse him.

² And the Pharisees, and scribes murmured, saying, "He received to his company sinners, and eateth with them."

²¹ But he that doth truth, cometh to the light, that his deeds might be known, how that they are wrought in God."

³⁰ So that thou stretch forth thine hand, that healing, and signs, and wonders be done by the name of thy holy child Jesus."

¹¹ And God wrought not small miracles by the hands of Paul.

² And, lo, they brought unto him a man sick of the palsy, lying in his bed: and when Jesus saw the faith of them, he said to the sick of the palsy, "Son, be of good cheer; thy sins be forgiven thee." ³ And, behold, certain of the scribes said in themselves, "This man blasphemeth." ⁴ And when Jesus saw their thoughts, he said, "Wherefore think ye evil in your hearts? ⁵ Whether is easier to say, thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, arise and walk? ⁶ That ye may know that the son of man hath power to forgive sins in earth" — then said he unto the sick of the palsy - "Arise, take up thy bed, and go home to thine house." ⁷ And he arose and departed to his own house. ⁸ And when the people saw it, they marveled and glorified God, which had given such power to men.

³ And there came unto him, that brought one sick of the palsy, borne of four men: ⁴ and because they could not come nigh unto him for press, they uncovered the roof of the house where he was. And when they had broken it open, they let down the bed wherein the sick of the palsy lay. ⁵ When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the sick of the palsy, "Son, thy sins are forgiven thee." ⁶ And there were certain of the scribes sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts, ⁷ "How doth this fellow so blaspheme? Who can forgive sins, but God only?" ⁸ And immediately when Jesus perceived in his spirit, that they so reasoned in themselves, he said unto them, "Why think ye such things in your hearts? ⁹ Whether is it easier to say to the sick of the palsy; thy sins are forgiven thee; or to say, arise, take up thy bed and walk? ¹⁰ That ye may know that the son of man hath power in earth to forgive sins," he spake unto the sick of the palsy, ¹¹ "I say unto thee, Arise and take up thy bed, and get thee hence into thine own house." ¹² And by and by he arose, took up the bed, and went forth before them all: insomuch that they were all amazed, and glorified God saying, "We never saw it on this fashion."

⁵ And a certain man was there, which had been diseased thirty eight years. ⁶ When Jesus saw him lie, and knew that he now long time had been diseased, he said unto him, "Wilt thou be made whole?"

³³ And there he found a certain man named Aeneas, which had kept his bed eight years sick of the palsy.

⁸ When thou buildest a new house, thou shalt make a battlement unto the roof, that thou lade not blood upon thine house, if any man fall thereof.

² And it chanced in an evening that David arose from his couch and walked upon the roof of the king's palace; and from the roof saw a very beautiful woman washing herself. And he sent to enquire what woman it should be.

¹³ For the houses of Jerusalem, and the houses of the kings of Judah are defiled, like as Tophet, because of all the houses; in whose parlors they did sacrifice unto all the host of heaven, and poured out drink offerings unto strange gods.'"

²⁷ What I tell you in darkness, that speak ye in light: and what ye hear in the ear, that preach ye on the housetops.

¹⁷ And let him which is on the housetop, not come down to fetch anything out of his house.

⁴ and because they could not come nigh unto him for press, they uncovered the roof of the house where he was. And when they had broken it open, they let down the bed wherein the sick of the palsy lay.

¹² And he said, "Lay not thy hands upon the child, neither do anything at all unto him, for now I know that thou fearest God, in that thou hast not kept thine only son from me."

⁷ For we consume away in thy displeasure, and are afraid at thy wrathful indignation. ⁸ Thou hast set our misdeeds before thee, and our secret sins in the light of thy countenance.

¹⁷ Foolish men were plagued for their offense, and because of their wickedness. ¹⁸ Their soul abhorred all manner of meat, and they were even hard at death's door.

¹⁷ Behold, bitter as gall was my pensiveness: so sore longed I for health. And it was thy pleasure to deliver me from the filthy pit: for thou it is, O Lord, that hath cast all my sins behind thy back.

² And, lo, they brought unto him a man sick of the palsy, lying in his bed: and when Jesus saw the faith of them, he said to the sick of the palsy, "Son, be of good cheer; thy sins be forgiven thee."

⁵ When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the sick of the palsy, "Son, thy sins are forgiven thee."

⁴⁸ And he said unto her, "Thy sins are forgiven thee."

²⁵ and needed not that any man should testify of him. For he knew what was in man.

¹⁴ And after that, Jesus found him in the temple, and said unto him, "Behold, thou art made whole: see thou sin no more, lest a worse thing happen unto thee."

²³ Which when he was come, and had seen the grace of God, was glad: and exhorted them all, that with purpose of heart they would continually cleave unto the Lord.

⁹ The same heard Paul preach: which beheld him, and perceived that he had faith to be whole,

¹⁰ To whom ye forgive anything, I forgive also. And verily if I forgive anything, to whom I forgave it for your sakes forgave I it, in the room of Christ,

¹³ forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel to another; even as Christ forgave you, even so do ye.

¹⁸ Yea, and a man might say, "Thou hast faith, and I have deeds: Show me thy faith by thy deeds: and I will show thee my faith by my deeds."

¹⁴ If any be diseased among you, let him call for the elders of the congregation, and let them pray over him, and anoint him with oil in the name of the Lord: ¹⁵ and the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up: and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.

⁶ And when the LORD walked before him, he cried, "LORD, LORD God full of compassion and mercy, which art not lightly angry but abundant in mercy and truth, ⁷ and keepest mercy in store for thousands, and forgivest wickedness, trespass and sin — for there is no man innocent before thee — and visitest the wickedness of the fathers upon the children and upon children's children, even unto the third and fourth generation."

¹⁶ And he that blasphemeth the name of the LORD, shall die for it: all the multitude shall stone him to death. And the stranger as well as the Israelite if he curse the name, shall die for it.'

¹⁰ and set two unthrifties before him, and let them testify against him, saying, 'Thou didst curse both God and the king.' And upon that carry him out and stone him to death." ¹¹ And the elders and nobles of his city, which dwelt in his city, did as Jezebel had sent unto them, and as it was written in the letter which she had sent unto them. ¹² They proclaimed fasting, and set Naboth on high among the people, ¹³ and there came in two unthrifty persons and sat before him. And the two unthrifty persons witnessed against Naboth before the people, saying, "Naboth did curse God and the king." And upon that they carried him out of the city and stoned him with stones to death. ¹⁴ And then they sent to Jezebel saying, "Naboth is stoned to death."

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.

⁵ Let them be as the dust before the wind, and the angel of the LORD scattering them.

³ Who forgiveth all thy sin, and healeth all thine infirmities?

⁴ But there is mercy with thee, that thou mayest be feared.

¹⁸ And so though your sins be like to purple, they shall be made as white as snow; and though they be as red as scarlet, they shall be made like white wool.

²⁵ Whereas I yet am even he only, that for mine own self's sake do away thine offenses, and forget thy sins: so that I will never think upon them.

²² As for thine offenses, I drive them away like the clouds, and thy sins as the mist. Turn ye again unto me, and I will deliver thee.

⁹ But unto thee O LORD our God, pertaineth mercy and forgiveness. As for us, we are gone back from him,

¹⁹ O Lord, hear; O forgive Lord; O Lord consider, tarry not over long: but for thine own sake do it. O my God: for thy city and thy people is called after thy name."

¹⁹ He shall turn again, and be merciful to us: he shall put down our wickednesses, and cast all our sins into the bottom of the sea.

³ And, behold, certain of the scribes said in themselves, "This man blasphemeth."

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:

⁶ And there were certain of the scribes sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts, ⁷ "How doth this fellow so blaspheme? Who can forgive sins, but God only?"

¹⁷ And it happened on a certain day, that he taught: and there sat the Pharisees, and doctors of law, which were come out of all the towns of Galilee, Jewry, and Jerusalem, and the power of the Lord was to heal them.

⁴⁹ And they that sat at meat with him, began to say within themselves, "Who is this which forgiveth sins also?"

³³ The Jews answered him saying, "For thy good works' sake we stone thee not: but for thy blasphemy, and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God."

¹¹ Then sent they in men which said, "We have heard him speak blasphemous words against Moses, and against God," ¹² and they moved the people, and the elders, and the scribes: and they came upon him and caught him, and brought him to the council, ¹³ and brought forth false witnesses which said, "This man ceaseth not to speak blasphemous words against this holy place and the law,

³³ Who shall lay anything to the charge of God's chosen? It is God that justifieth:

⁹ And thou, Solomon my son: know God thy father and serve him with a pure heart and lust of soul. For the LORD searcheth all hearts and understandeth all the imaginations of thoughts. If thou shalt seek him, he will be found of thee: But and if thou forsake him, he will cast thee off forever.

² Thou knowest my down-sitting and mine up-rising; thou understandest my thoughts afar off.

²⁶ The LORD abhorreth the imaginations of the wicked; but pure words are pleasant to him.

¹⁸ For I will come to gather all people and tongues with their works and imaginations: these shall come, and see my glory.

¹⁰ Moreover, thus sayeth the LORD God: At the same time shall many things come into thy mind, so that thou shalt imagine mischief,

⁴ And when Jesus saw their thoughts, he said, "Wherefore think ye evil in your hearts?

²⁵ But Jesus knew their thoughts, and said to them, "Every kingdom divided within itself shall be brought to nought. Neither shall any city or household divided against itself, continue.

¹⁷ And when Jesus knew that, he said unto them, "Why take ye thought because ye have no bread? Perceive ye not yet, neither understand? Have ye your hearts yet blinded?

³⁸ And he said unto them, "Why are ye troubled? And why do thoughts arise in your hearts?

³ Then said Peter, "Ananias how is it that Satan hath filled thine heart, that thou shouldest lie unto the holy ghost, and keep away part of the price of the livelihood:

¹² for the word of God is quick, and mighty in operation, and sharper than any two edged sword: and entereth through, even unto the dividing asunder of the soul and the spirit and of the joints, and the marrow: and judgeth the thoughts and the intents of the heart.

²³ And I will kill her children with death. And all the congregations shall know that I am he which searches the reins and hearts. And I will give unto everyone of you according to your works.

⁵ Whether is easier to say, thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, arise and walk?

⁹ Whether is it easier to say to the sick of the palsy; thy sins are forgiven thee; or to say, arise, take up thy bed and walk?

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.

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.

⁶ That ye may know that the son of man hath power to forgive sins in earth" — then said he unto the sick of the palsy - "Arise, take up thy bed, and go home to thine house."

¹³ When Jesus came into the coasts of the city which is called Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples saying, "Whom do men say that I, the son of man, am?"

³¹ "When the son of man shall cometh in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the seat of his glory

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."

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

¹³ And he stretched forth the hand, and touched him, saying, "I will, be thou clean." And immediately the leprosy departed from him.

¹⁴ And he went and touched the coffin, and they that bare him stood still. And he said, "Young man, I say unto thee, arise."

⁵⁴ And he thrust them all out at the doors, and caught her by the hand, and cried, saying, "Maid arise."

¹³ And no man ascendeth up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, that is to say, the son of man which is in heaven.

⁸ And Jesus said unto him, "Rise, take up thy bed, and walk." ⁹ And immediately the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and went. And the same day was the Sabbath day. ¹⁰ The Jews therefore said unto him that was made whole, "It is the Sabbath day: it is not lawful for thee to carry thy bed." ¹¹ He answered them, "He that made me whole, said unto me, 'Take up thy bed, and get thee hence.'" ¹² Then asked they him, "What man is that which said unto thee, 'Take up thy bed and walk?'"

²² Neither judgeth the father any man: but hath committed all judgment unto the son, ²³ because that all men should honour the son, even as they honour the father. He that honoureth not the son, the same honoureth not the father which hath sent him.

²⁷ And hath given him power also to judge in that he is the son of man.

⁴³ And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, "Lazarus come forth."

² As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him.

²² And when he had said that, he breathed on them, and said unto them, "Receive the holy ghost. ²³ Whosoever's sins ye remit, they are remitted unto them: And whosoever's sins ye retain, they are retained."

⁶ Then said Peter, "Silver and gold have I none: such as I have, give I thee. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk." ⁷ And he took him by the right hand, and lifted him up. And immediately his feet and anklebones received strength, ⁸ and he sprang, stood, and also walked, and entered with them into the temple: walking, and leaping, and lauding God.

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.

³⁴ Then said Peter unto him, "Aeneas, the Lord Jesus Christ make thee whole: Arise and make thy bed." And he arose immediately.

⁴⁰ And Peter put them all forth and kneeled down and prayed and turned him to the body, and said, "Tabitha, arise." And she opened her eyes: and when she saw Peter, she sat up.

¹⁰ and said with a loud voice, "Stand upright on thy feet." And he started up, and walked.

¹³ And in the midst of the candlesticks, one like unto the son of man clothed with a linen garment down to the ground, and gird about the paps with a golden girdle.

²³ Whoso offereth me thanks and praise, he honoureth me: and to him that ordereth his conversation right, will I show the salvation of God."

¹ {Of David} Praise the LORD, O my soul, and all that is within me praise his holy name. ² Praise the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits. ³ Who forgiveth all thy sin, and healeth all thine infirmities?

²⁰ He sent his word, and healed them; and they were saved from their destruction. ²¹ O that men would therefore praise the LORD for his goodness, and declare the wonders that he doeth for the children of men! ²² — That they would offer unto him the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and tell out his works with gladness!

¹³ And he laid his hands on her, and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God.

¹⁵ And one of them, when he saw that he was cleansed, turned back again, and with a loud voice praised God, ¹⁶ and fell down on his face at his feet, and gave him thanks. And the same was a Samaritan. ¹⁷ And Jesus answered and said, "Are there not ten cleansed? But where are those nine? ¹⁸ There are not found that returned again, to give God praise, save only this stranger."

⁴³ And immediately he saw, and followed him, praising God. And all the people, when they saw it, gave laud to God.

²⁴ Then again called they the man that was blind, and said unto him, "Give God the praise; we know that this man is a sinner."

⁹ And this shall get me a name, and praise and honour, among all people of the earth, which shall hear all the good, that I will show unto them: Yea, they shall be afraid and astonished at all the good deeds and benefits that I will do for them.

⁵ But afterward shall the children of Israel convert, and seek the LORD their God, and David their king: and in the latter days they shall worship the LORD, and his loving-kindness.

⁸ And when the people saw it, they marveled and glorified God, which had given such power to men.

²³ And all the people were amazed, and said, "Is not this the son of David?"

⁸ And they departed quickly from the sepulchre with fear and great Joy. And did run to bring his disciples word.

¹² And by and by he arose, took up the bed, and went forth before them all: insomuch that they were all amazed, and glorified God saying, "We never saw it on this fashion."

⁸ When Simon Peter saw that, he fell down at Jesus' knees saying, "Lord go from me, for I am a sinful man."

¹⁶ And there came a fear on them all. And they glorified God, saying, "A great prophet is risen among us, and God hath visited his people."

³⁷ And all the whole multitude of the country of the Gaderenites, besought him that he would depart from them: for they were taken with great fear. And he gat him into the ship and returned back again.

²¹ So threatened they them and let them go; And found nothing how to punish them, because of the people: For all men lauded God for the miracle which was done.

¹¹ And great fear came on all the congregation; and on as many as heard it. ¹² By the hands of the apostles were many signs and wonders showed among the people. And they were all together with one accord in Solomon's porch. ¹³ And of other durst no man join himself to them: neverthelater, the people magnified them.

²⁴ And they glorified God on my behalf.

¹⁹ And he said unto them, "Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men." ²⁰ And they straightaway left their nets, and followed him. ²¹ And he went forth from thence, and saw other two brethren, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in the ship with Zebedee their father, mending their nets; and called them.

²² But Jesus said unto him, "Follow me; and let the dead bury their dead."

⁹ And as Jesus passed forth from thence he saw a man sit at the receipt of custom, named Matthew: and said to him, "Follow me." And he arose, and followed him. ¹⁰ And it came to pass, as he sat at meat in the house, behold, many publicans and sinners came and sat down also with Jesus, and his disciples. ¹¹ When the Pharisees saw that, they said unto his disciples, "Why eateth your master with publicans and sinners?" ¹² When Jesus heard that, he said unto them, "The whole need not the physician, but they that are sick. ¹³ Go and learn, what that meaneth: 'I have pleasure in mercy, and not in offering.' For I am not come to call the righteous, but the sinners to repentance." ¹⁴ Then came the disciples of John to him, saying, "Why do we and the Pharisees fast oft, but thy disciples fast not?" ¹⁵ And Jesus said unto them, "Can the wedding children mourn as long as the bridegroom is with them? The time will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken from them, and then shall they fast. ¹⁶ No man pieceth an old garment with a piece of new cloth. For then taketh he away the piece again from the garment, and the rent is made greater. ¹⁷ Neither do men put new wine into old vessels: for then the vessels break, and the wine runneth out, and the vessels perish: but they pour new wine into new vessels, and so are both saved together."

³ Philip, and Bartholomew; Thomas, and Matthew the publican; James the son of Alpheus, and Lebbeus, otherwise called Thaddeus;

²⁴ Jesus then said to his disciples. "If any man will follow me, let him forsake himself, and take up his cross and follow me.

¹³ And he went out again unto the sea, and all the people resorted unto him, and he taught them. ¹⁴ And as Jesus passed by, he saw Levi, the son of Alphaeus, sit at the receipt of custom and said unto him, "Follow me." And he arose and followed him. ¹⁵ And it came to pass, as Jesus sat at meat in his house, many publicans and sinners sat at meat also with Jesus and his disciples. For there were many that followed him. ¹⁶ And when the scribes and Pharisees saw him eat with publicans and sinners, they said unto his disciples, "How is it that he eateth and drinketh with publicans and sinners?" ¹⁷ When Jesus heard that, he said unto them, "The whole have no need of the Physician: but the sick. I came not to call the righteous, but the sinners to repentance." ¹⁸ And the disciples of John and of the Pharisees did fast, and they therefore came and said unto him, "Why do the disciples of John and of the Pharisees fast, and thy disciples fast not?" ¹⁹ And Jesus said unto them, "Can the children of a wedding fast, while the bridegroom is with them? As long as they have the bridegroom with them, they cannot fast. ²⁰ But the days will come when the bridegroom shall be taken from them and then shall they fast in those days. ²¹ Also no man seweth a piece of new cloth unto an old garment, for then taketh he away the new piece from the old, and so is the rent worse. ²² In like wise, no man poureth new wine into old vessels, for if he do, the new wine breaketh the vessels, and the wine runneth out, and the vessels are marred. But new wine must be poured into new vessels."

¹⁸ And Andrew, and Philip, and Bartholomew, and Matthew, and Thomas, and James the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus, and Simon of Canaan,

²² When Jesus heard that, he said unto him, "Yet lackest thou one thing. Sell all that thou hast, and distribute it unto the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven; and come, and follow me."

⁴³ The day following, Jesus would go into Galilee, and found Philip, and said unto him, "Follow me."

²⁶ If any man minister unto me, let him follow me: and where I am, there shall also my minister be. And if any man minister unto me, him will my father honour.

¹⁹ That spake he signifying by what death he should glorify God. And when he had said thus, he said to him, "Follow me." ²⁰ Peter turned about, and saw that disciple whom Jesus loved following, which also leaned on his breast at supper, and said, "Lord which is he that shall betray thee?" ²¹ When Peter saw him, he said to Jesus, "Lord what shall he here do?" ²² Jesus said unto him, "If I will have him to tarry till I come, what is that to thee? Follow thou me."

¹⁹ And he departed thence and found Elisha the son of Shaphat plowing with twelve yoke of oxen before him, and he with the twelve. And Elijah went to him and cast his mantle upon him. ²⁰ And he left the oxen and ran after Elijah and said, "Let me, I pray thee, kiss my father and mother, and then I will follow thee." And he said to him, "Go back again, for what have I done to thee?" ²¹ And he went back again from after him, and took a yoke of oxen and slew them, and dressed the flesh with the instruments of the oxen and gave it the people, and they did eat. And then he arose and went after Elijah and ministered unto him. ²² When the young man heard that saying, he went away mourning. For he had great possessions. ²³ Then Jesus said then unto his disciples: "Verily I say unto you, it is hard for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of heaven. ²⁴ And moreover I say unto you: it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God." ²⁵ When his disciples heard that, they were exceedingly amazed, saying, "Who then can be saved?" ²⁶ Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, "With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible." ²⁷ Then answered Peter, and said to him, "Behold we have forsaken all, and have followed thee: what shall we have therefore?"

¹¹ And they brought the ships to land, and forsook all, and followed him.

⁵⁹ And he said unto another, "Follow me." And the same said, "Lord suffer me first to go and bury my father." ⁶⁰ Jesus said unto him, "Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou and preach the kingdom of God." ⁶¹ And another said, "I will follow thee Lord: But let me first go bid them farewell, which are at home at my house." ⁶² Jesus said unto him, "No man that putteth his hand to the plough, and looketh back, is apt to the kingdom of God."

¹⁰ And it came to pass, as he sat at meat in the house, behold, many publicans and sinners came and sat down also with Jesus, and his disciples.

¹⁵ And it came to pass, as Jesus sat at meat in his house, many publicans and sinners sat at meat also with Jesus and his disciples. For there were many that followed him.

¹ Then resorted unto him all the publicans and sinners, for to hear him.

² There they made him a supper, and Martha served: but Lazarus was one of them that sat at the table with him.

⁹ I wrote unto you in an epistle that ye should not company with fornicators. ¹⁰ And I meant not at all of the fornicators of this world, either of the covetous, or of extortioners, either of the idolaters — for then must ye needs have gone out of the world - ¹¹ but now I write unto you that ye company not together. If any that is called a brother, be a fornicator, or covetous, or a worshipper of images, either a railer, either a drunkard, or an extortioner: with him that is such see that ye eat not.

²⁷ If any of them which believe not bid you to a feast, and if ye be disposed to go, whatsoever is set before you eat, asking no question for conscience sake.

⁵ If thou comest nigh them, they say, "Touch me not, for I am holier than thou." All these men when I am angry, shall be turned to smoke and fire, that shall burn forever.

²⁸ "What say ye to this? A certain man had two sons, and came to the elder and said, 'Son, go and work today in my vineyard.' ²⁹ He answered and said, 'I will not.' But afterward, repented and went. ³⁰ Then came he to the second, and said likewise, and he answered and said, 'I will sir.' Yet went he not. ³¹ Whether of these twain did the will of the father?" And they said unto him, "The first." Jesus said unto them, "Verily I say unto you, that the publicans and the harlots shall come into the kingdom of God before you. ³² For John came unto you, in the way of righteousness, and ye believed him not. But the publicans and the harlots believed him. And yet ye, though ye saw it, were not yet moved with repentance; that ye might afterward have believed him.

³ For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, except they wash their hands often, eat not; observing the traditions of the elders.

²⁹ And all the people that heard, and the publicans, justified God and were baptised with the baptism of John. ³⁰ But the Pharisees and scribes despised the counsel of God, against themselves, and were not baptised of him.

³⁴ The son of man is come, and eateth and drinketh, and ye say, 'Behold a man which is a glutton, and a drinker of wine, a friend of publicans and sinners.'

³⁹ When the Pharisee which bade him to his house, saw that, he spake within himself, saying, "If this man were a prophet, he would surely have known who and what manner woman this is which toucheth him, for she is a sinner."

¹ Then resorted unto him all the publicans and sinners, for to hear him. ² And the Pharisees, and scribes murmured, saying, "He received to his company sinners, and eateth with them."

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.

⁷ And when they saw that, they all grudged saying, "He is gone in to tarry with a man that is a sinner."

⁹ And there arose a great cry, and the scribes which were of the Pharisees' part arose and strove, saying, "We find none evil in this man. Though a spirit, or an angel hath appeared to him, let us not strive against God."

²² for there is no more treacle at Gilead, and there is no Physician, that can heal the hurt of my people.

¹² When Jesus heard that, he said unto them, "The whole need not the physician, but they that are sick. ¹³ Go and learn, what that meaneth: 'I have pleasure in mercy, and not in offering.' For I am not come to call the righteous, but the sinners to repentance."

¹⁷ When Jesus heard that, he said unto them, "The whole have no need of the Physician: but the sick. I came not to call the righteous, but the sinners to repentance."

⁶ Seek the LORD, while he may be found, and call upon him while he is nigh. ⁷ Let the ungodly man forsake his ways and the unrighteous his imaginations, and turn again unto the LORD: so shall he be merciful unto him; and to our God, for he is ready to forgive.

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.

¹⁰ See that ye despise not one of these little ones. For I say unto you, that in heaven their angels always behold the face of my father, which is in heaven.

⁷ And there was one named Barabbas, which lay bound with them, that made insurrection: and in the insurrection, committed murder.

¹⁰ For he knew that the high priests had delivered him of envy.

¹⁸ "The spirit of the Lord upon me, because he hath anointed me; To preach the gospel to the poor he hath sent me; And to heal which are broken hearted: To preach deliverance to the captive; And sight to the blind; And freely to set at liberty them that are bruised; ¹⁹ And to preach the acceptable year of the Lord."

⁷ I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance.

¹⁰ Likewise I say unto you, Joy is made in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth."

¹⁰ "Two men went up into the temple to pray: the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican. 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. ¹² I fast twice in the week. I give tithe of all that I possess.' ¹³ And the publican stood afar off, and would not lift up his eyes to heaven, but smote his breast, saying, 'God be merciful to me, a sinner.' ¹⁴ I tell you, This man departed home to his house justified more than the other. For every man that exalteth himself, shall be brought low: And he that humbleth himself, shall be exalted."

¹⁰ For the son of man is come to seek, and to save that which was lost."

⁴⁷ And that repentance, and remission of sins, should be preached in his name among all nations. And must begin at Jerusalem.

³⁸ Peter said unto them, "Repent, and be baptised every one of of you in the name of Jesus Christ, for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the holy ghost.

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,

²⁶ First unto you hath God raised up his son Jesus, and him he hath sent to bless you, that every one of you should turn from your wickedness."

³⁰ And the time of this ignorance God regarded not: but now he biddeth all men everywhere to repent,

²¹ witnessing both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, the repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus.

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.' ¹⁹ "Wherefore king Agrippa, I was not disobedient unto the heavenly vision: ²⁰ but showed first unto them of Damascus, and at Jerusalem, and throughout all the coasts of Jewry, and to the gentiles, that they should repent, and turn to God, and do the right works of repentance.

⁹ Do ye not remember how that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived. For neither fornicators, neither worshippers of images, neither whoremongers, neither weaklings, neither abusers of themselves with mankind, ¹⁰ neither thieves, neither the covetous, neither drunkards, neither cursed speakers, neither extortioners shall inherit the kingdom of God. ¹¹ And such were ye verily: but ye are washed, ye are sanctified, ye are justified by the name of the Lord Jesus: And by the spirit of our God.

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.

²⁵ and one that can suffer the evil in meekness, and can inform them that resist — if that God at any time will give them repentance for to know the truth - ²⁶ that they may come to themselves again out of the snare of the devil, which are now taken of him at his will.

⁹ The Lord is not slack to fulfill his promise as some men count slackness: but is patient to us ward and would have no man lost, but would receive all men to repentance.

⁹ He that turneth away his ear from hearing the law, his prayer shall be abhorred.

¹⁵ When ye hold out your hands, I will turn my eyes from you. And though ye make many prayers, yet will I hear nothing at all; for your hands are full of blood.

³ They seek of me righteous judgments, and will draw nigh unto God. Why have we fasted and thou hast not looked upon it? Have humbled our souls, and thou wouldest not wit it? ⁴ Behold when ye fast, ye can find your own lusts, and can call cruelly on all your debtors. Ye fast to law and strive and to smite with fist wickedly. Fast not as ye now do, to make your voice to be heard upon high. ⁵ Should it be such a manner of fast that I should chose? A day that a man should hurt his soul in? Or to bow down his head like a bulrush? Or to spread sackcloth and ashes under him? Shouldest thou call this a fast, and a day acceptable unto the LORD? ⁶ Or is not this rather the fast that I have chosen? To loose wicked bonds, and to unbind bundles of oppression? And to let the bruised go free? And that ye should break all manner yokes?

⁶ When ye ate also and drank, did ye not eat and drink for your own selves?

⁵ And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to stand and pray in the synagogues, and in the corners of the streets, because they would be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, they have their reward. ⁶ But when thou prayest, enter into thy chamber, and shut thy door to thee, and pray to thy father which is in secret; and thy father which seeth in secret, shall reward thee openly.

¹³ Woe be unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven before men: ye yourselves go not in, neither suffer ye them that come to enter in.

⁴⁰ and devour widows' houses: and that, under a colour of long praying. These shall receive greater damnation."

³⁴ The son of man is come, and eateth and drinketh, and ye say, 'Behold a man which is a glutton, and a drinker of wine, a friend of publicans and sinners.' ³⁵ Yet is wisdom justified of all her children."

¹ And it fortuned, as he was praying in a certain place: when he ceased, one of his disciples said unto him, "Master, teach us to pray; As John taught his disciples."

¹² I fast twice in the week. I give tithe of all that I possess.'

⁴⁷ which devour widows' houses, and that under a colour of long praying: The same shall receive greater damnation."

³⁵ The next day after, John stood again, and two of his disciples,

²⁵ And there arose a question between John's disciples and the Jews about purifying.

¹¹ And the Lord said to him, "Arise, and go into the street which is called straight, and seek in the house of Judas after one called Saul of the city of Tarsus. For behold, he prayeth;

² For I bear them record, that they have a fervent mind to Godward, but not according to knowledge. ³ For they are ignorant of the righteousness which is allowed before God, and go about to establish their own righteousness: and therefore, are not obedient unto the righteousness which is of value before God.

¹⁰ And when his father was come unto the woman, Samson made there a feast, for so used the young men to do. ¹¹ And when her friends saw him, they brought thirty companions to bear fellowship.

¹⁰ Hearken, O daughter, and consider; incline thine ear. Forget also thine own people, and thy father's house. ¹¹ So shall the king have pleasure in thy beauty; for he is thy LORD, and thou shalt worship him. ¹² The daughters of Tyre shall be there with gifts, the rich among the people shall make their supplication before thee. ¹³ The king's daughter is all glorious within, her clothing is of wrought gold. ¹⁴ She shall be brought unto the king in raiment of needlework; the virgins that be her fellows shall bear her company, and shall be brought unto thee. ¹⁵ With joy and gladness shall they be brought, and shall enter into the king's palace. ¹⁶ Instead of thy fathers thou shalt have children, whom thou mayest make princes in all lands.

⁶ His left hand lieth under my head, and his righthand shall embrace me. ⁷ I charge you, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, by the Roes and hinds of the field, that ye wake not up my love nor touch her, till she be content herself.

¹⁰ the pillars are of silver, the covering of gold, the seat of purple, the ground pleasantly paved with love for the daughters of Jerusalem. ¹¹ Go forth, O ye daughters of Zion, and behold king Solomon in the crown, wherewith his mother crowned him in the day of his marriage, and in the day of the gladness of his heart.

⁸ I charge you therefore, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, if ye find my beloved, that ye tell him how that I am sick for love.

¹ Whither is thy love gone then, O thou fairest among women; whither is thy love departed, that we may seek him with thee?

⁵ For he that made thee, shall be thy LORD and husband, whose name is the LORD of Hosts: and thine avenger shall be even the holy one of Israel, the LORD of the whole world.

⁵ And like as a young man taketh a daughter to marriage, so shall God marry himself unto thy sons. And as a bridegroom is glad of his bride, so shall God rejoice over thee.

¹⁷ for the LORD thy God is with thee. It is he that hath power to save: he hath a special pleasure in thee, and a marvelous love toward thee: yea he rejoiceth over thee with gladness."

² "The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain King, which married his son,

¹ Then the kingdom of heaven shall be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went to meet the bridegroom: ² five of them were foolish, and five were wise. ³ The foolish took their lamps, but took none oil with them. ⁴ But the wise took oil with them in their vessels with their lamps also. ⁵ While the bridegroom tarried, all slumbered and slept. ⁶ And even at midnight, there was a cry made, 'Behold, the bridegroom cometh, go out against him.' ⁷ Then all those virgins arose, and prepared their lamps. ⁸ And the foolish said to the wise, 'Give us of your oil, for our lamps go out.' ⁹ But the wise answered, saying, 'Not so, lest there be not enough for us and you, but go rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.' ¹⁰ And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came: and they that were ready, went in with him to the wedding, and the gate was shut up.

²⁹ He that hath the bride is the bridegroom: But the friend of the bridegroom which standeth by and heareth him, rejoiceth greatly of the bridegroom's voice. Therefore this, my joy, is fulfilled.

² For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy. For I coupled you to one man, to make you a chaste virgin to Christ:

²⁵ Husbands: love your wives, even as Christ loved the congregation, and gave himself for it, ²⁶ to sanctify it, and cleansed it in the fountain of water through the word, ²⁷ to make it unto himself a glorious congregation without spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing: but that it should be holy and without blame.

⁷ Let us be glad and rejoice and give honour to him: for the marriage of the lamb is come, and his wife made herself ready. ⁸ And to her was granted, that she should be arrayed with pure and goodly raynes" — For the raynes is the righteousness of saints. 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."

¹² And at the same time shall the LORD of Hosts call men to weeping, mourning, to baldness and a putting on of sackcloth.

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.

¹⁷ But thou, when thou fastest, anoint thine head, and wash thy face, ¹⁸ that it appear not unto men how that thou fastest, but unto thy father which is in secret: and thy father, which seeth in secret, shall reward thee openly.

²² And he said unto the disciples, "The days will come, when ye shall desire to see one day of the son of man, and ye shall not see it.

¹⁷ And he said unto them, "What manner of communications are these that ye have one to another as ye walk, and are sad?" ¹⁸ And the one of them named Cleopas, answered, and said unto him, "Art thou only a stranger in Jerusalem, and hast not known the things which have chanced therein in these days?" ¹⁹ To whom he said, "What things?" And they said unto him, "Of Jesus of Nazareth, which was a prophet, mighty in deed and word, before God and all the people. ²⁰ And how the high priests, and our rulers delivered him to be condemned to death: and have crucified him. ²¹ But we trusted, that it should have been he that should have delivered Israel. And as touching all these things, today is even the third day, that they were done.

⁸ The poor always shall ye have with you, but me shall ye not always have."

³³ Dear children, yet a little while am I with you. Ye shall seek me, and as I said unto the Jews, 'Whither I go, thither can ye not come.' Also to you say I now.

³ And if I go to prepare a place for you, I will come again: and receive you even unto myself, that where I am, there may ye be also. ⁴ And whither I go, ye know; and the way ye know."

⁴ But these things have I told you: that when that hour is come, ye might remember then, that I told you so. These things said I not unto you at the beginning, because I was present with you. ⁵ But now go I my way to him that sent me, and none of you asketh me, 'Whither goest thou?' ⁶ But because I have said such things unto you, your hearts are full of sorrow. ⁷ "Nevertheless, I tell you the truth: it is expedient for you that I go away. For if I go not away, that comforter will not come unto you. But if I depart, I will send him unto you.

¹⁶ "After a while ye shall not see me, and again after a while ye shall see me: For I go to the father." ¹⁷ Then said some of his disciples between themselves, "What is this that he saith unto us, 'After a while ye shall not see me, and again after a while ye shall see me: and that I go to the father?'" ¹⁸ They said therefore, "What is this that he saith, 'After a while?' We cannot tell what he saith." ¹⁹ Jesus perceived that they would ask him, and said unto them, "This is it that ye enquire of between yourselves, that I said, 'After a while ye shall not see me, and again after a while ye shall see 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.

²⁸ "I went out from the father, and came into the world: and I leave the world again, and go to the father."

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. 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. ¹³ Now come I to thee, and these words speak I in the world, that they might have my joy full in them.

⁹ And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up: and a cloud received him up out of their sight.

²¹ that is, to wit, Jesus Christ: which must receive heaven until the time that all things which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began, be restored again.

² As they ministered to the Lord and fasted; The holy ghost said, "Separate me Barnabas and Saul, for the work whereunto I have called them." ³ Then fasted they and prayed, and put their hands on them, and let them go.

²³ And when they had ordained them elders by election in every congregation, after they had prayed and fasted, they commended them to God on whom they believed.

⁵ Withdraw not yourselves one from another except it be with consent for a time, for to give yourselves to fasting and prayer, and afterward come again to the same thing, lest Satan tempt you for your incontinency.

²⁷ in labour and travail, in watching often, in hunger, in thirst, in fastings often, in cold and in nakedness.

¹⁹ "'Keep mine ordinances. Let none of thy cattle gender with a contrary kind, neither sow thy field with mingled seed, neither shalt thou put on any garment of linen and woollen.

¹¹ Thou shalt not wear a garment made of wool and flax together.

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."

⁴ they played wilily, and went and sent ambassadors: and took old sacks upon their asses, and wine bottles old and rent and knit together again,

¹³ And these bottles of wine which we filled were new: and see, they be rent. And these our garments and shoes are waxen old by reason of the exceeding long journey."

⁸³ For I am become like a bottle in the smoke; yet do not I forget thy statutes.

²⁶ And I will give you a new heart, and will put a new spirit in you. And will take away that stony heart out of your flesh, and give you a fleshly heart.

¹⁷ Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature. Old things are passed away: behold, all things are become new.

⁴ and that because of incomers, being false brethren, which came in among others to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage.

¹² For yer that certain came from James, he ate with the gentiles: but when they were come, he withdrew and separated himself, fearing them which were of the circumcision, ¹³ and the other Jews dissembled likewise; Insomuch that Barnabas was brought into their simulation also. ¹⁴ But when I saw that they went not the right way after the truth of the gospel, I said unto Peter, before all men, "If thou, being a Jew, livest after the manner of the gentiles, and not as do the Jews: why causest thou the gentiles to live as do the Jews?"

⁹ But now, seeing ye know God — yea rather are known of God — how is it that ye turn again unto the weak and beggarly ceremonies, whereunto again ye desire afresh to be in bondage? ¹⁰ Ye observe the days, and months, and times, and years. ¹¹ I am in fear of you, lest I have bestowed on you labour in vain.

¹ Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and wrap not yourselves again in the yoke of bondage. ² Behold, I Paul say unto you, that if ye be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing at all. ³ I testify again to every man which is circumcised that he is bound to keep the whole law. ⁴ Ye are gone quite from Christ as many as are justified by the law, and are fallen from grace. ⁵ We look for, and hope in the spirit, to be justified through faith. ⁶ For in Jesus Christ, neither is circumcision anything worth, neither yet uncircumcision: but faith, which by love is mighty in operation.

¹³ For they themselves which are circumcised keep not the law: but desire to have you circumcised that they might rejoice in your flesh. ¹⁴ God forbid that I should rejoice but in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, whereby the world is crucified as touching me, and I as concerning the world.

⁵ circumcised the eighth day, of the kindred of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, an Hebrew born of the Hebrews; as concerning the law, a Pharisee, ⁶ and as concerning ferventness I persecuted the congregation, and as touching the righteousness which is in the law, I was unrebukable. ⁷ But the things that were vantage unto me I counted loss for Christ's sake.

¹⁹ and holdeth not the head: whereof all the body by joints and couples receiveth nourishment, and is knit together, and increaseth with the increasing that cometh of God. ²⁰ Wherefore, if ye be dead with Christ from ordinances of the world: Why as though ye yet lived in the world, are ye led with traditions of them that say ²¹ "Touch not; Taste not; Handle not:" ²² which all perish with the using of them, and are after the commandments, and doctrines of men: ²³ which things have the similitude of wisdom in chosen holiness, and humbleness, and in that they spare not the body — and do the flesh no worship unto his need.

⁸ For bodily exercise profiteth little: But godliness is good unto all things, as a thing which hath promises of the life that is now, and of the life to come.

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.

⁹ Be not carried about with divers and strange learning. For it is a good thing that the heart be established with grace, and not with meats, which have not profited them that have had their pastime in them. ¹⁰ We have an altar whereof they may not eat, which serve in the tabernacle.

⁵ And he that sat upon the seat said, "Behold I make all things new." And he said unto me, "Write, for these words are faithful and true."

¹⁶ Thus sayeth the LORD, "Go into the streets, consider and make inquisition for the old way: and if it be the good and right way, then go therein, that ye may find rest for your souls. But they say, 'We will not walk therein.'

⁷ In vain they worship me, teaching doctrines which are nothing but the commandments of men, ⁸ for ye lay the commandment of God apart, and ye observe the traditions of men as the washing of cruses and of cups, and many other such like things ye do." ⁹ And he said unto them, "Well, ye cast aside the commandment of God, to maintain your own traditions. ¹⁰ For Moses said, 'Honour thy father and thy mother,' and, 'Whosoever curseth father or mother, let him die for it.' ¹¹ But ye say, 'A man shall say to his father or mother, Corban; which is, that thou desirest of me, to help thee with, is given to God.' ¹² And so ye suffer him no more to do ought for his father or his mother, ¹³ making the word of God of none effect through your own traditions which ye have ordained. And many such things ye do."

¹¹ And he received the sign of circumcision, as a seal of the righteousness which is by faith: which faith he had, yet being uncircumcised, that he should be the father of all them that believe: though they be not circumcised, that righteousness might be imputed to them also; ¹² And that he might be the father of the circumcised: not because they are circumcised only: but because they walk also in the steps of that faith, that was in our father Abraham before the time of circumcision.

¹ Faith is a sure confidence of things which are hoped for, and a certainty of things which are not seen. ² By it the elders were well reported of.

³⁹ And these all, through faith, obtained good report, and received not the promise;
