And the people resorted unto him afresh: And as he was wont he taught them again. ² And the Pharisees came and asked him a question, whether it were lawful for a man to put away his wife, to prove him. ³ And he answered and said unto them, "What did Moses bid you do?" ⁴ And they said, "Moses suffered to write a testimonial of her divorcement, and to put her away." ⁵ And Jesus answered, and said unto them, "For the hardness of your hearts he wrote this precept unto you. ⁶ But at the first creation, God made them man and woman, saying, ⁷ 'And for this thing's sake shall man leave his father and mother, and bide by his wife, ⁸ and they twain shall be made one flesh.' So then are they now not twain, but one flesh. ⁹ Therefore, what God hath coupled, let not man separate." ¹⁰ And in the house his disciples asked him again of that matter. ¹¹ And he said unto them, "Whosoever putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, breaketh wedlock to her-ward. ¹² And if a woman forsake her husband, and be married to another, she committeth adultery." ¹³ And they brought children to him that he should touch them. And his disciples rebuked those that brought them. ¹⁴ When Jesus saw that, he was displeased, and said to them, "Suffer the children to come unto me and forbid them not. For of such is the kingdom of God. ¹⁵ Verily I say to you, whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a child, he shall not enter therein." ¹⁶ And he took them up in his arms, and put his hands upon them, and blessed them. ¹⁷ And when he was come out into the way, there came one running and kneeled to him, and asked him, "Good Master, what shall I do, that I may inherit eternal life?" ¹⁸ Jesus said to him, "Why callest thou me good? There is no man good but one, which is God. ¹⁹ Thou knowest the commandments: break not matrimony, kill not, steal not, bear no false witness, defraud no man, honour thy father and thy mother." ²⁰ He answered and said to him, "Master, all these I have observed from my youth." ²¹ Jesus beheld him, and had a favour to him, and said unto him, "One thing is lacking unto thee. Go, and sell all that thou hast, and give it to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me, and take up thy cross on thee." ²² But he was discomforted with that saying, and went away mourning, for he had great possessions. ²³ And Jesus looked round about, and said unto his disciples, "What a hard thing it is for them that have riches enter into the kingdom of God." ²⁴ And his disciples were astonished at his words. But Jesus answered again, and said unto them, "Children: how hard is it for them, that trust in their riches, to enter into the kingdom of God? ²⁵ It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of an needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God." ²⁶ And they were astonished out of measure, saying between themselves, "Who then can be saved?" ²⁷ Jesus looked upon them, and said, "With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible." ²⁸ And Peter began to say unto him, "Lo, we have forsaken all, and have followed thee." ²⁹ Jesus answered and said, "Verily I say unto you, there is no man that hath forsaketh house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, other children, or lands, for my sake and the gospel's, ³⁰ which shall not receive a hundred fold now in this life, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers and children, and lands with persecutions, and in the world to come eternal life. ³¹ Many that are first, shall be last. And the last, first." ³² And they were in the way, going up to Jerusalem. And Jesus went before them. And they were amazed. And as they followed, were afraid. And Jesus took the twelve again, and began to tell them what things should happen unto him. ³³ "Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and the son of man shall be delivered unto the high priests and unto the scribes: and they shall condemn him to death, and shall deliver him to the gentiles, ³⁴ and they shall mock him, and scourge him and spit upon him, and kill him, and the third day he shall rise again." ³⁵ And then James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came unto him, saying, "Master, we would that thou shouldest do for us whatsoever we desire." ³⁶ He said unto them, "What would ye I should do unto you?" 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. 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." ⁴⁶ And they came to Jericho: and as he went out ofJericho, with his disciples and a great number of people, Bartimaeus the son of Timaeus, which was blind, sat by the highways side begging. ⁴⁷ And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry and to say, "Jesus, the son of David, have mercy on me." ⁴⁸ And many rebuked him, that he should hold his peace. But he cried the more a great deal, "Thou son of David have mercy on me." ⁴⁹ And Jesus stood still, and commanded him to be called: and they called the blind, saying unto him, "Be of good comfort, rise, he called thee." ⁵⁰ And he threw away his cloak, and rose and came to Jesus: ⁵¹ And Jesus answered, and said unto him, "What wilt thou that I do unto thee?"

And whosoever marrieth her which is divorced, doth commit adultery." ¹⁰ Then said his disciples to him, "If the matter be so between man and wife, then is it not good to marry." ¹¹ He said unto them, "All men cannot away with that saying, save they to whom it is given. ¹² There are chaste, which were so born out of their mother's belly. And there are chaste, which be made chaste of men. And there be chaste, which have made themselves chaste for the kingdom of heavens' sake. He that can take it, let him take it."

¹⁶ But our fathers were proud, and hard necked, so that they followed not thy commandments, ¹⁷ and refused to hear, and were not mindful of the wonders that thou didst for them: but became obstinate and heady insomuch that they turned back to their bondage in their disobedience.

¹⁴ And yet ye say, 'Wherefore?' Even because that whereas the LORD made a covenant betwixt thee and the wife of thy youth, thou hast despised her: Yet is she thine own companion and married wife. ¹⁵ So did not the one, and yet had he an excellent spirit. What did then the one? He sought the seed promised of God. Therefore look well to your spirit, and let no man despise the wife of his youth. ¹⁶ If thou hatest her, put her away, sayeth the LORD God of Israel and give her a clothing for the scorn, sayeth the LORD of Hosts. Look well then to your spirit, and despise her not.

¹ Remember ye not brethren — I speak to them that know the law — how that the law hath power over a man as long as it endureth? ² For the woman which is in subjection to a man, is bound by the law to the man, as long as he liveth. If the man be dead, she is loosed from the law of the man. ³ So then, if while the man liveth she couple herself with another man, she shall be counted a wedlock-breaker. But if the man be dead she is free from the law: so that she is no wedlock-breaker, though she couple herself with another man.

¹⁰ And when he was alone, they that were about him with the twelve asked him of the similitude.

²⁸ And when he was come into the house, his disciples asked him secretly, "Why could not we cast him out?"

⁹ I say therefore unto you, whosoever putteth away his wife, except it be for fornication, and marrieth another, breaketh wedlock. And whosoever marrieth her which is divorced, doth commit adultery."

¹⁸ Whosoever forsaketh his wife, and marrieth another, breaketh matrimony. And every man which marrieth her that is divorced from her husband committeth adultery also.

³ So then, if while the man liveth she couple herself with another man, she shall be counted a wedlock-breaker. But if the man be dead she is free from the law: so that she is no wedlock-breaker, though she couple herself with another man. ⁴ The wife hath not power over her own body: but the husband; And likewise the man hath not power over his own body: but the wife.

⁴ Let wedlock be had in price in all points, and let the chamber be undefiled: for whore keepers and adulterers God will judge.

¹¹ If she separate herself, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled unto her husband again. And let not the husband put away his wife from him.

¹³ And the woman which hath to her husband an infidel, if he consent to dwell with her, let her not put him away.

⁹ And Moses answered, "We must go with young and old: yea and with our sons and with our daughters, and with our sheep and oxen must we go. For we must hold a feast unto the LORD." ¹⁰ And he said unto them, "Shall it be so? The LORD be with you! Should I let you go, and your children also? Take heed, for ye have some mischief in hand. ¹¹ Nay, not so: but go ye that are men and serve the LORD, for that was your desire." And they thrust them out of Pharaoh's presence.

¹² Gather the people together: both men, women and children and the strangers that are in thy cities, that they may hear, learn and fear the LORD your God, and be diligent to keep all the words of this law, ¹³ and that their children which know nothing may hear and learn to fear the LORD your God, as long as ye live in the land whither ye go over Jordan to possess it."

¹⁶ Gather the people together; bring the elders to one place; gather the young children and they that suck the breasts, together. Let the bridegroom come out of his chamber and the bride out of her parlour.

¹³ Then were brought to him young children, that he should put his hands on them and pray. And his disciples rebuked them. ¹⁴ But Jesus said unto them, "Suffer the children, and forbid them not to come to me, for of such is the kingdom of heaven." ¹⁵ And when he had put his hands on them, he departed thence.

³⁸ And whosoever receiveth me, receiveth not me, but him that sent me." John answered him, saying, "Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name, which followeth not us and we forbade him, because he followeth us not."

⁴⁸ And many rebuked him, that he should hold his peace. But he cried the more a great deal, "Thou son of David have mercy on me."

¹⁵ They brought unto him also babes, that he should touch them. When the disciples saw that, they rebuked them. ¹⁶ But Jesus called them unto him, and said, "Suffer children to come unto me, and forbid them not. For of such is the kingdom of God. ¹⁷ Verily I say unto you, Whosoever receiveth not the kingdom of God, as a child: he shall not enter therein."

⁷ Moreover, I will make my covenant between me, and thee, and thy seed after thee; in their times to be an everlasting testament, so that I will be God unto thee, and to thy seed after thee.

¹⁰ This is my covenant which ye shall keep between me and you and thy seed after thee: that ye circumcise all your men children. ¹¹ Ye shall circumcise the foreskin of your flesh, and it shall be a token of the covenant betwixt me and you. ¹² And every manchild when it is eight days old, shall be circumcised among you in your generations, and all servants also born at home or bought with money, though they be strangers and not of thy seed. ¹³ The servant born in thy house, and he also that is bought with money, must needs be circumcised, that my covenant may be in your flesh, for an everlasting bond. ¹⁴ If there be any uncircumcised manchild, that hath not the foreskin of his flesh cut off, his soul shall perish from his people: because he hath broken my covenant."

³¹ And your children, which ye said should be a prey: them I will bring in, and they shall know the land which ye have refused,

³⁷ And because he loved thy fathers, therefore he chose their seed after them and brought thee out with his presence and with his mighty power of Egypt:

¹¹ your children, your wives and the strangers that are in thine host, from the hewer of thy wood unto the drawer of thy water; ¹² that thou shouldest come under the covenant of the LORD thy God, and under his oath which the LORD thy God maketh with thee this day.

¹¹ and vowed a vow and said, "LORD of Hosts, if thou wilt look on the wretchedness of thine handmaid and shalt remember me and not forget thine handmaid, and shalt give unto thine handmaid a man child I will give him unto the LORD all the days of his life and there shall neither razor or shears come upon his head."

²² But Hannah went not up, for she said unto her husband, "I will tarry until the lad be weaned, and then I will bring him, that he may appear before the LORD and there abide forever."

²⁷ And for this lad I prayed, and the LORD hath given me my desire which I asked of him: ²⁸ and therefore I also lend him the LORD, as long as he may be lent the LORD." And so they prayed there unto the LORD.

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.

¹⁴ The LORD shall increase you more and more, you and your children. ¹⁵ For ye are the blessed of the LORD, which made heaven and earth.

¹ {A song of the stairs} LORD, I am not high-minded; I have no proud looks. I do not exercise myself in great matters which are too high for me. ² But I refrain my soul and keep it low, like as a child that is weaned from his mother; Yea, my soul is even as a weaned child.

²³ My chosen shall live long, they shall not labour in vain, nor beget with trouble: for they are the high, blessed seed of the LORD, and their fruits with them.

³⁹ And I will give them one heart, and one way, that they may fear me all the days of their life, that they and their children after them may prosper. ⁴⁰ And I will set up an everlasting covenant with them; Namely: that I will never cease to do them good, and that I will put my fear in their hearts, so that they shall not run away from me.

⁴ Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this child, the same is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

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.

¹⁴ But Jesus said unto them, "Suffer the children, and forbid them not to come to me, for of such is the kingdom of heaven."

⁵ And he looked round about on them, angrily mourning on the blindness of their hearts. And said to the man, "Stretch forth thine hand." And he stretched it out: And his hand was restored, even as whole as the other.

³³ Then he turned about, and looked on his disciples, and rebuked Peter saying, "Go after me Satan. For thou savourest not the things of God but the things of men."

⁵⁴ When his disciples, James, and John, saw that, they said, "Lord, wilt thou that we command that fire come down from heaven, and consume them, even as Elijah did?" ⁵⁵ Jesus turned about, and rebuked them saying, "Ye know not what manner spirit ye are of. ⁵⁶ The son of man is not come to destroy men's lives, but to save them." And they went to another town.

¹⁵ They brought unto him also babes, that he should touch them. When the disciples saw that, they rebuked them. ¹⁶ But Jesus called them unto him, and said, "Suffer children to come unto me, and forbid them not. For of such is the kingdom of God.

³⁹ "For the promise was made unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar, even as many as the Lord God shall call."

²⁵ Ye are the children of the prophets, and of the covenant, which God hath made unto our fathers, saying to Abraham, 'Even in thy seed shall all the kindreds of the earth be blessed.'

¹⁶ For if one piece be holy, the whole heap is holy. And if the root be holy, the branches are holy also.

²⁸ As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sake: but as touching the election, they are loved for the fathers' sake.

¹⁴ For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife: and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband. Or else were your children unclean: but now are they pure.

²⁰ Brethren, be not children in wit. Howbeit, as concerning maliciousness be children: but in wit be perfect.

²⁶ Be angry, but sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath,

⁵ when I call to remembrance the unfeigned faith that is in thee, which dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and in thy mother Eunice: and am assured that it dwelleth in thee also.

¹⁵ And forasmuch also as thou hast known holy scripture of a child, which is able to make thee wise unto salvation through the faith, which is in Christ Jesus.

² and as newborn babes desire that reasonable milk which is without corruption, that ye may be grown therein.

⁵ and in their mouths was found no guile. For they are without spot before the throne of God.

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

¹⁷ Verily I say unto you, Whosoever receiveth not the kingdom of God, as a child: he shall not enter therein."

³ Jesus answered, and said unto him, "Verily, verily I say unto thee: except a man be born anew, he cannot see the kingdom of God." ⁴ Nicodemus said unto him, "How can a man be born, when he is old? Can he enter into his mother's womb and be born again?" ⁵ Jesus answered, "Verily, verily I say unto thee: Except that a man be born of water, and of the spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. ⁶ That which is born of the flesh, is flesh. And that which is born of the spirit, is spirit.

¹⁴ And Israel stretched out his righthand and laid it upon Ephraim's head which was the younger, and his lefthand upon Manasseh's head, crossing his hands; for Manasseh was the elder. 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; ¹⁶ And the angel which hath delivered me from all evil, bless these lads: that they may be called after my name, and after my father Abraham and Isaac, and that they may grow and multiply upon the earth."

³⁶ And he took a child, and set him in the midst of them, and took him in his arms and said unto them,

²⁸ then took he him up in his arms and said, ²⁹ "Lord, Now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace according to thy promise. ³⁰ For mine eyes have seen the saviour sent from thee: ³¹ Which thou hast prepared before the face of all people. ³² A light to lighten the gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel." ³³ And his father and mother marveled at those things, which were spoken of him: ³⁴ And Simeon blessed them, and said unto Mary his mother, "Behold, this child shall be the fall, and resurrection, of many in Israel: And a sign which shall be spoken against.

⁵⁰ And he led them out into Bethany, and lift up his hands, and blessed them. ⁵¹ And it came to pass, as he blessed them, he departed from them, and was carried up into heaven.

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.

¹⁰ Now when Daniel understood that the writing was made, he went into his house: and the windows of his hall toward Jerusalem stood open. There kneeled he down upon his knees, three times a day: there he made his petition, and praised his God, like as his manner was to do afore time.

¹⁴ And when they were come to the people, there came to him a certain man; and kneeled down to him, and said,

¹⁶ And behold, one came, and said unto him, Good master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?" ¹⁷ He said unto him, "Why callest thou me good? There is none good but one, and that is, God: But if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments." ¹⁸ The other said, "Which?" And Jesus said, "Thou shalt not kill: thou shalt not break wedlock. Thou shall not steal: thou shalt not bear false witness. ¹⁹ Honour father and mother: and thou shalt love thine neighbor as thyself." ²⁰ And the young man said unto him, "I have observed all these things from my youth, what lack I yet?" ²¹ And Jesus said unto him, "If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give it to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me." 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?" 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. ³⁰ Many that are first, shall be last; and the last shall be first.

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.

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

⁴⁰ And there came a leper to him, beseeching him, and kneeled down unto him, and said unto him, "If thou wilt, thou canst make me clean."

²⁵ When Jesus saw that the people came running together unto him, he rebuked the foul spirit, saying unto him, "Thou dumb and deaf spirit, I charge thee come out of him, and enter no more into him."

¹⁴ And as soon as they were come, they said unto him, "Master, we know that thou art true, and carest for no man: For thou considerest not the degree of men, but teachest the way of God truly: Is it lawful to pay tribute to Caesar, or not?

¹⁸ And a certain ruler asked him, saying, "Good Master: what ought I to do, to obtain eternal life?" ¹⁹ Jesus said unto him, "Why callest thou me good? None is good, save God only. ²⁰ Thou knowest the commandments: Thou shalt not commit adultery, thou shalt not kill, thou shalt not steal, thou shalt not bear false witness; Honour thy father, and thy mother." ²¹ And he said, "All of these have I kept from my youth." 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." ²³ When he heard that, he was heavy, for he was very rich. ²⁴ When Jesus saw him mourn, he said, "With what difficulty shall they that have riches, enter into the kingdom of God: ²⁵ Easier it is for a camel to go through a needle's eye, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God." ²⁶ Then said they that heard that, "And who shall then be saved?" ²⁷ And he said, "Things which are impossible with men are possible with God." ²⁸ Then Peter said, "Lo, we have left all, and have followed thee." ²⁹ And he said unto them, "Verily I say unto you, there is no man that leaveth house: other father and mother, other brethren, or wife, or children: for the kingdom of God's sake, ³⁰ which same shall not receive much more in this world, and in the world to come: life everlasting."

² The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, "Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher which art come from God. For no man could do such miracles as thou doest, except God were with him."

²⁷ Labor not for the meat which perisheth, but for the meat that endureth unto everlasting life, which meat the son of man shall give unto you. For him hath God the father sealed." ²⁸ Then said they unto him, "What shall we do that we might work the works of God?"

⁴⁰ And this is the will of him that sent me: That every man which seeth the son, and believeth on him, have everlasting life. And I will raise him up at the last day."

² Then she ran, and came to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple whom Jesus loved, and said unto them, "They have taken away the Lord out of the tomb and we cannot tell where they have laid him." ³ Peter went forth, and that other disciple, and came unto the sepulchre. ⁴ They ran both together, and that other disciple did outrun Peter, and came first to the sepulchre.

³⁷ When they heard this, they were pricked in their hearts, and said unto Peter, and unto the other apostles, "Ye men and brethren, what shall we do?"

⁶ And he, both trembling and astonished, said, "Lord what wilt thou have me to do?" And the Lord said unto him, "Arise, and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou shalt do."

³⁰ and brought them out and said, "Sirs, what must I do to be saved?"

³² And now dear brethren I commend you to God and to the word of his grace, which is able to build further, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified.

⁷ that is to say: praise, honour, and immortality, to them which continue in good doing, and seek eternal life.

²³ For the reward of sin is death: but eternal life is the gift of God, through Jesus Christ our Lord.

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. ⁴ For Christ is the end of the law to justify all that believe.

²⁵ And this is the promise that he hath promised us, even eternal life.

² There is none so holy as the LORD: no, there is none save thou. Neither is there any strength like unto our God.

⁷ How excellent is thy mercy, O God! And the children of men shall put their trust under the shadow of thy wings. ⁸ They shall be satisfied with the plenteousness of thy house, and thou shalt give them drink of the river of thy pleasures.

⁵ For thou, LORD, art good and gracious, and of great mercy unto all them that call upon thee.

⁶⁸ Thou art good and friendly; O teach me thy statutes.

¹⁷ He said unto him, "Why callest thou me good? There is none good but one, and that is, God: But if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments."

¹⁹ Jesus said unto him, "Why callest thou me good? None is good, save God only.

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?

¹² they are all gone out of the way, they are all made unprofitable, there is none that doeth good, no not one."

¹⁷ Every good gift, and every perfect gift, is from above and cometh down from the father of light, with whom is no variableness, neither is he changed unto darkness.

⁸ And he that loveth not, knoweth not God: for God is love.

¹⁶ And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love, and he that abideth in love abideth in God, and God in him.

¹² "Honour thy father and thy mother, that thy days may be long in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee. ¹³ "Thou shalt not kill. ¹⁴ "Thou shalt not break wedlock. ¹⁵ "Thou shalt not steal. ¹⁶ "Thou shalt bear no false witness against thy neighbor. ¹⁷ "Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's house: neither shalt covet thy neighbor's wife, his manservant, his maid, his ox, his ass or ought that is his."

¹⁶ 'Honour thy father and thy mother, as the LORD thy God hath commanded thee: that thou mayest prolong thy days, and that it may go well with thee on the land, which the LORD thy God giveth thee. ¹⁷ 'Thou shalt not kill. ¹⁸ 'Thou shalt not break wedlock. ¹⁹ 'Thou shalt not steal. ²⁰ 'Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour. ²¹ 'Thou shalt not lust after thy neighbour's wife: thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, field, servant, maid, ox, ass nor ought that is thy neighbour's.' ²² These words the LORD spake unto all your multitude in the mount out of the fire, cloud and darkness, with a loud voice, and added no more thereto, and wrote them in two tables of stone and delivered them unto me. ²³ But as soon as ye heard the voice out of the darkness and saw the hill burn with fire, ye came unto me all the heads of your tribes and your elders: ²⁴ and ye said, 'Behold, the LORD our God hath showed us his glory and his greatness, and we have heard his voice out of the fire, and we have seen this day that God may talk with a man and he yet live.

¹⁷ "Think not that I am come to destroy the law or the Prophets: No, I am not come to destroy them but to fulfill them. ¹⁸ For truly I say unto you, till heaven and earth perish, one jot or one tittle of the law shall not escape till all be fulfilled. ¹⁹ Whosoever breaketh one of these least commandments, and teacheth men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven. But whosoever observeth, and teacheth the same, shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. ²⁰ For I say unto you, Except your righteousness exceed the righteousness of the Scribes and Pharisees, ye cannot enter into the kingdom of heaven.

¹⁷ He said unto him, "Why callest thou me good? There is none good but one, and that is, God: But if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments." ¹⁸ The other said, "Which?" And Jesus said, "Thou shalt not kill: thou shalt not break wedlock. Thou shall not steal: thou shalt not bear false witness. ¹⁹ Honour father and mother: and thou shalt love thine neighbor as thyself."

²⁸ And there came one of the scribes, that had heard them disputing together, and perceived that he had answered them well, and asked him, "Which is the first of all the commandments?" ²⁹ Jesus answered him, "The first of all the commandments is, 'Hear, Israel, the Lord God is One Lord. ³⁰ And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength.' This is the first commandment. ³¹ And the second is like unto this, 'Thou shalt love thy neighbor, as thyself.' There is none other commandment greater than these." ³² And the scribe said unto him, "Well master, thou hast said the truth, that there is one God, and that there is none but he. ³³ And to love him with all the heart, and with all the mind, and with all the soul, and with all the strength. And to love a man's neighbor as himself, is a greater thing than all burnt offerings and sacrifices." ³⁴ And when Jesus saw that he answered discreetly, he said unto him, "Thou art not far from the kingdom of God." And no man after that durst ask him any question.

²⁶ He said unto him, "What is written in the law? How readest thou?" ²⁷ And he answered and said, "Thou shalt love thy Lord God, with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind: and thy neighbor as thyself." ²⁸ And he said unto him, "Thou hast answered right. This do and thou shalt live."

²⁰ Thou knowest the commandments: Thou shalt not commit adultery, thou shalt not kill, thou shalt not steal, thou shalt not bear false witness; Honour thy father, and thy mother."

²⁰ because that by the deeds of the law, shall no flesh be justified in the sight of God. For by the law cometh the knowledge of sin.

⁹ For these commandments: Thou shalt not commit adultery, thou shalt not kill, thou shalt not steal, thou shalt not bear false witness, thou shalt not desire, and so forth: if there be any other commandment, they are all comprehended in this saying, "Love thine neighbor as thyself."

⁷ Now therefore there is utterly a fault among you, because ye go to law one with another. Why rather suffer ye not wrong? Why rather suffer ye not yourselves to be robbed? ⁸ Nay, ye yourselves do wrong, and rob: and that the brethren. 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,

¹⁴ For all the law is fulfilled in one word, which is this, "Thou shalt love thine neighbour as thyself."

⁶ that no man go too far and defraud his brother in bargaining, because the Lord is avenger of all such things: as we told you before time, and testified unto you.

¹¹ For he that said, "Thou shalt not commit adultery," said also, "thou shalt not kill." Though thou shalt do none adultery, yet if thou kill, thou art a transgressor of the law.

² For me they seek day by day; and will know my ways, as a people that doth righteousness, and hath not forsaken the equity of their God.

¹⁴ Moreover, I will make thee waste and abhorred before all the Heathen that dwell about thee, and in the sight of all them that go by thee:

³¹ These come unto thee, after the manner of a great people: yea, my people sit down before thee, and hear thy words, but they do not thereafter: for in their mouths they show themselves, as though they were fervent, but their heart goeth after their own covetous lucre. ³² And as a ballad that hath a sweet tune, and is pleasant to sing, so shalt thou be unto them: thy words shall they hear, but they will not do thereafter.

⁸ Should a man use falsity and deceit with God, as ye use falsity and deceit with me? Yet ye say, 'Wherein use we deceit with thee?' In tithes and heave offerings.

²⁰ And the young man said unto him, "I have observed all these things from my youth, what lack I yet?"

²⁹ He, willing to justify himself, said unto Jesus, "Who is then my neighbor?"

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.'

⁹ I once lived without law: but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I was dead.

⁶ and as concerning ferventness I persecuted the congregation, and as touching the righteousness which is in the law, I was unrebukable.

⁵ having a similitude of godly living, but have denied the power thereof. Such abhor.

¹⁹ And the young man deferred not for to do the thing, because he had a lust to Jacob's daughter: he was also most set by of all that were in his father's house.

²³ Labour for to get the truth, sell not away wisdom, nurture and understanding;

⁸ For he said, "These no doubt will be my people, and no shrinking children," and so he was their Saviour. ⁹ In their troubles he forsook them not, but the angel that went forth from his presence delivered them. Of very love and kindness that he had unto them, he redeemed them: He hath born them, and carried them up ever since the world began. ¹⁰ But after they provoked him to wrath and vexed his holy mind, he was their enemy, and fought against them himself.

¹⁹ "See that ye gather not treasure together upon the earth, where rust and moths corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: ²⁰ But gather ye treasures together in heaven, where neither rust, nor yet moths corrupt: and where thieves neither break up, nor yet steal. ²¹ For wheresoever your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

⁴⁴ "Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in the field, the which a man findeth and hideth it: and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field. ⁴⁵ Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant, that seeketh good pearls, ⁴⁶ which when he had found one precious pearl, went and sold all that he had, and bought it.

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.

²¹ And Jesus said unto him, "If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give it to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me."

³⁴ And he called the people unto him, with his disciples also, and said unto them, "Whosoever will follow me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

²³ And he said to them all, "If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross on him daily, and follow me.

⁴² verily one is needful. Mary hath chosen her that good part, which shall not be taken away from her."

³³ Sell that ye have, and give alms. And make you bags, which wax not old, and treasure that faileth not in heaven, where no thief cometh, neither moth corrupteth.

⁹ And I say also unto you, Make you friends of the wicked mammon, that when ye shall have need they may receive you into everlasting habitations.

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."

⁴¹ And when he was come near, he beheld the city, and wept on it,

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.

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."

⁴⁵ And sold their possessions and goods, and departed them to all men, as every man had need.

³⁴ Neither was there any among them that lacked. For as many as were possessors of lands or houses, sold them and brought the price of the things that were sold, ³⁵ and laid it down at the apostles' feet. And distribution was made unto every man according as he had need. ³⁶ And Joseph, which was also called of the apostles Barnabas — that is to say, the son of consolation — being a Levite, and of the country of Cyprus, ³⁷ had land, and sold it, and laid the price down at the apostles' feet.

¹⁷ If we be sons, we are also heirs: the heirs, I mean, of God: and heirs annexed with Christ. If so be that we suffer together, that we may be glorified together. ¹⁸ For I suppose that the afflictions of this life are not worthy of the glory which shall be showed upon us.

¹⁵ I will very gladly bestow, and will be bestowed for your souls: though the more I love you, the less I am loved again.

¹⁷ Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not exceeding wise, and that they trust not in the uncertain riches, but in the living God, which giveth us abundantly all things to enjoy them, ¹⁸ and that they do good and be rich in good works, and ready to give and to distribute, ¹⁹ laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may obtain eternal life.

¹² Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus, must suffer persecutions.

³⁴ For ye suffered also with my bonds, and took in worth the spoiling of your goods, and that with gladness, knowing in yourselves how that ye had in heaven a better, and an enduring substance.

¹⁰ Whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet fail in one point, he is guilty in all.

⁴ to enjoy an inheritance immortal, and undefiled, and that perisheth not; reserved in heaven for you ⁵ which are kept by the power of God through salvation, which salvation is prepared already to be showed in the last time,

⁴ Nevertheless, I have somewhat against thee, for thou hast left thy first love.

¹⁴ But I have a few things against thee: that thou hast, there, they that maintain the doctrine of Balaam, which taught in Balak to put occasion of sin before the children of Israel, that they should eat of meat dedicated unto idols, and to commit fornication.

²⁰ Notwithstanding, I have a few things against thee, that thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which called herself a prophetess to teach and to deceive my servants, to make them commit fornication, and to eat meats offered up unto idols.

⁵ Lot also, which went with him, had sheep, cattle and tents: ⁶ so that the land was not able to receive them that they might dwell together. For the substance of their riches was so great, that they could not dwell together. ⁷ And there fell a strife between the herdsmen of Abram's cattle, and the herdsmen of Lot's cattle. Moreover, the Canaanites and the Perizzites dwelled at that time in the land. ⁸ Then said Abram unto Lot, "Let there be no strife, I pray thee, between thee and me, and between my herdsmen and thine, for we be brethren. ⁹ Is not all the whole land before thee? Depart, I pray thee, from me. If thou wilt take the lefthand, I will take the right: or if thou take the righthand I will take the left." ¹⁰ Then Lot lift up his eyes, and beheld all the country about Jordan: that it was a plenteous country of water. For, before the LORD destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, it was round about Zoar, even as the pleasant garden of the LORD, and as the land of Egypt. ¹¹ Then Lot chose all the coasts of Jordan and took his journey from the east. And so departed the one brother from the other.

¹⁰ And when the LORD thy God hath brought thee into the land which he sware unto thy fathers Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, to give thee with great and goodly cities which thou buildst not, ¹¹ and houses full of all manner goods which thou filledst not, and wells digged which thou diggedst not, and vines and olive trees which thou planted not; and when thou hast eaten, and art full: ¹² Then beware, lest thou forget the LORD which brought thee out of the land of Egypt, the house of bondage.

¹¹ But beware that thou forget not the LORD thy God, that thou wouldest not keep his commandments, laws and ordinances which I command thee this day: ¹² yea, and when thou hast eaten and filled thyself and hast built goodly houses and dwelt therein, ¹³ and when thy beasts and thy sheep are waxed many and thy silver and thy gold is multiplied, ¹⁴ and all that thou hast increased, then beware lest thine heart rise and thou forget the LORD thy God which brought thee out of the land of Egypt the house of bondage,

⁷ "Wherefore do wicked men live in health and prosperity, come to their old age, and increase in riches? ⁸ Their children's children live in their sight, and their generation before their eyes. ⁹ Their houses are safe from all fear, for the rod of God doth not smite them. ¹⁰ Their bullock gendereth, and that not out of time: their cow calveth, and is not unfruitful. ¹¹ They send forth their children by flocks, and their sons lead the dance. ¹² They bear with them tabrets and harps, and have instruments of music at their pleasure. ¹³ They spend their days in wealthiness: but suddenly, they go down to hell. ¹⁴ They say unto God, 'Go from us: we desire not the knowledge of thy ways! ¹⁵ What manner of fellow is the Almighty, that we should serve him? What profit should we have, to submit ourselves unto him?'

³¹ These come unto thee, after the manner of a great people: yea, my people sit down before thee, and hear thy words, but they do not thereafter: for in their mouths they show themselves, as though they were fervent, but their heart goeth after their own covetous lucre.

²² He that was sown among thorns, is he that heareth the word of God, but the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word, and so is he made unfruitful.

²² When the young man heard that saying, he went away mourning. For he had great possessions.

³ Then when Judas, which betrayed him, saw that he was condemned, he repented himself; and brought again the thirty plates of silver to the chief priests and elders,

²⁴ When Pilate saw that he prevailed nothing, but that more business was made, he took water and washed his hands before the people saying, "I am innocent of the blood of this righteous person: see ye thereto." ²⁵ Then answered all the people, and said, "His blood be on us, and on our children." ²⁶ Then let he Barabbas loose unto them, and scourged Jesus, and delivered him to be crucified.

²⁰ For Herod feared John, knowing that he was a just man, and a holy, and gave him reverence; And when he heard him he did many things, and heard him gladly.

²⁶ And the king was sorry. Yet for his oath's sake, and for their sakes which sat at supper also, he would not put her beside her purpose.

¹⁵ Wherefore he said unto them, "Take heed, and beware of covetousness. For no man's life standeth in the abundance of the things which he possesseth."

²³ When he heard that, he was heavy, for he was very rich.

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.

⁵ For this ye know, that no whoremonger, either unclean person, or covetous person, which is the worshipper of images, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ, and of God.

⁹ They that will be rich, fall into temptation and snares, and into many foolish and noisome lusts, which drown men in perdition and destruction. ¹⁰ For covetousness is the root of all evil, which while some lusted after, they erred from the faith, and tangled themselves with many sorrows.

¹⁰ For Demas hath left me, and hath loved this present world, and is departed into Thessalonica. Crescens is gone to Galatia, and Titus unto Dalmatia.

¹⁵ See that ye love not the world, nor the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the father is not in him. ¹⁶ For all that is in the world — as the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of goods — are not of the father: but of the world.

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."

³² And he looked round about, for to see her that had done that thing.

¹⁵ Verily I say to you, whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a child, he shall not enter therein."

²⁴ When Jesus saw him mourn, he said, "With what difficulty shall they that have riches, enter into the kingdom of God:

⁵ Jesus answered, "Verily, verily I say unto thee: Except that a man be born of water, and of the spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

²⁶ Brethren, look on your calling how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many of high degree are called:

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 Ye adulterers, and women that break matrimony: know ye not how that the friendship of the world is enmity to Godward? Whosoever will be friend of the world, is made the enemy of God.

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.

²⁴ "Have I put my trust in gold? Or, have I said to the finest gold of all, 'Thou art my confidence?' ²⁵ Have I rejoiced because my substance was great, and because my hand gat so much?

¹⁴ From the men of thy hand, O LORD, from the men, I say, and from the evil world, which have their portion in this life, whose bellies thou fillest with thy hid treasure.

⁶ There be some that put their trust in their goods, and boast themselves in the multitude of their riches. ⁷ But no man may deliver his brother, nor make agreement unto God for him,

⁷ "Lo, this is the man that took not God for his strength, but trusted unto the multitude of his riches, and was mighty in his wickedness!"

¹⁰ O trust not in wrong or robbery; give not yourselves unto vanity. If riches increase, set not your heart upon them.

²⁸ He that trusteth in his riches shall have a fall; but the righteous shall flourish as the green leaf.

¹¹ But the rich man's goods are his stronghold, yea he taketh them for a high wall round about him.

⁵ Why wilt thou set thine eye upon the thing, which suddenly vanisheth away? For riches make themselves wings, and take their flight like an Eagle into the air.

²³ Moreover, thus sayeth the LORD, "Let not the wise man rejoice in his wisdom, nor the strong man in his strength; neither the rich man in his riches.

⁴ With thy wisdom and thy understanding, thou hast gotten thee great wealthiness, and gathered treasure of silver and gold. ⁵ With thy great wisdom and occupying, hast thou increased thy power, and because of thy great riches, thy heart is proud.

⁹ Woe unto him, that covetously gathereth evil gotten goods into his house: that he may set his nest on high, to escape from the power of misfortune.

¹⁸ Neither their silver nor their gold shall be able to deliver them in that wrathful day of the LORD, but the whole land shall be consumed through the fire of his jealousy: for he shall soon make clean riddance of all them that dwell in the land.

²⁵ When his disciples heard that, they were exceedingly amazed, saying, "Who then can be saved?"

¹⁶ And he put forth a similitude unto them, saying, "The ground of a certain rich man brought forth fruits plenteously, ¹⁷ and he thought in himself saying, 'What shall I do? Because I have no room where to bestow my fruits.' ¹⁸ And he said, 'This will I do. I will destroy my barns, and build greater: and therein will I gather all my fruits, and my goods: ¹⁹ and I will say to my soul: Soul, thou hast much goods laid up in store for many years, take thine ease: eat, drink and be merry.' ²⁰ But God said unto him, 'Thou fool, this night will they fetch away thy soul again from thee. Then whose shall those things be which thou hast provided?' ²¹ So is it with him that gathered riches, and is not rich in God."

²⁶ Then said they that heard that, "And who shall then be saved?" ²⁷ And he said, "Things which are impossible with men are possible with God."

⁶⁰ Many therefore of his disciples, when they had heard this, said, "This is a hard saying; Who can abide the hearing of it?"

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.

⁵ Jesus said unto them, "Sirs, have ye any meat?" They answered him no.

¹⁹ My little children — of whom I travail in birth again until Christ be fashioned in you -

¹⁷ Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not exceeding wise, and that they trust not in the uncertain riches, but in the living God, which giveth us abundantly all things to enjoy them,

¹ Go to now, ye rich men. Weep, and howl on your wretchedness that shall come upon you. ² Your riches is corrupt, your garments are motheaten. ³ Your gold and your silver are cankered, and the rust of them shall be a witness unto you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye have heaped treasure together in your last days.

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.

⁴ Little children, ye are of God, and have overcome them: for greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.

²¹ Little children, beware of images. Amen. {Here ends the First General Epistle of John}

¹⁷ because thou sayest thou art rich and increased with goods, and hast need of nothing, and knowest not how thou art wretched and miserable, poor, blind, and naked.

²³ For like as the man of Ethiopia may change his skin, and the cat of the mountains her spots: so may ye that be exercised in evil, do good.

³ Why seest thou a mote in thy brother's eye, and perceivest not the beam that is in thine own eye? ⁴ Or why sayest thou to thy brother, 'Suffer me to pluck out the mote out of thine eye'; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye. ⁵ "Hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to pluck out the mote out of thy brother's eye.

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?"

²⁴ Ye blind guides, which strain out a gnat, and swallow a camel.

²⁵ Easier it is for a camel to go through a needle's eye, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God."

⁵¹ And he went up unto them into the ship, and the wind ceased, and they were sore amazed in themselves beyond measure, and marveled.

³⁷ And were beyond measure astonished, saying, "He hath done all things well, and hath made both the deaf to hear and the dumb to speak."

²³ Then said one unto him, "Lord, are there few that shall be saved?" And he said unto them,

²⁶ Then said they that heard that, "And who shall then be saved?"

³¹ And they said, "Believe on the Lord Jesus, and thou shalt be saved and thy household."

⁹ For if thou shalt knowledge with thy mouth that Jesus is the Lord, and shalt believe with thine heart that God raised him up from death, thou shalt be safe. ¹⁰ For the belief of the heart justifieth: and to knowledge with the mouth maketh a man safe. ¹¹ For the scripture saith, "Whosoever believeth on him, shall not be ashamed." ¹² There is no difference between the Jew and the gentile. For one is Lord of all: which is rich unto all that call on him. ¹³ For whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be safe.

²³ They are the ministers of Christ — I speak as a fool — I am more: In labors more abundant, in stripes above measure, in prison more plenteously,

¹³ Then said the LORD unto Abraham, "Wherefore doth Sara laugh saying, 'shall I of a surety bear a child, now when I am old?' ¹⁴ Is the thing too hard for the LORD to do? In the time appointed will I return unto thee, as soon as the fruit can have life. And Sara shall have a son."

²¹ And Moses said, "Six hundred thousand footmen are there of the people, among which I am. And thou hast said, 'I will give them flesh and they shall eat a month long.' ²² Shall the sheep and the oxen be slain for them to find them, either shall all the fish of the sea be gathered together to serve them?" ²³ And the LORD said unto Moses, "Is the LORD's hand waxed short? Thou shalt see whether my word shall come to pass unto thee or not."

² Then a great lord on whose hand the king leaned, answered the man of God and said, "Though the LORD would make windows in heaven, yet would not this be." And he said again, "Behold, thou shalt see it with thine eyes and shalt not eat thereof."

² "I know that thou hast power over all things, and that there is no thought hid unto thee.

¹⁷ 'O LORD God: It is thou that hast made heaven and earth with thy great power and high arm, and there is nothing too hard for thee.

²⁷ 'Behold, I am the LORD God of all flesh, is there anything then too hard for me?'

⁶ Thus saith the LORD Sabaoth: though it seem hard in the eyes of the remnant of this people, shall it seem hard in mine eyes saith the LORD Sabaoth.

²⁶ Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, "With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible."

³⁷ for with God can nothing be impossible."

²⁷ And he said, "Things which are impossible with men are possible with God."

²¹ which shall change into another fashion our vile bodies, that they may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able to subdue all things unto himself.

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.

¹⁹ For he considered that God was able to raise up again from death. Wherefore received he him, for an example of the resurrection.

²⁰ And they straightaway left their nets, and followed him.

²² And they, without tarrying, left the ship and their father and followed him.

¹⁶ As he walked by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon, and Andrew his brother, casting nets into the sea, for they were fishers. ¹⁷ And Jesus said unto them, "Follow me, and I will make you to be fishers of men." ¹⁸ And they straightway forsook their nets, and followed him. ¹⁹ And when he had gone a little further thence, he saw James, the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, even as they were in the ship mending their nets. ²⁰ And anon he called them. And they left their father Zebedee in the ship with his hired servants, and went their way after him.

³³ So likewise, none of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, can be my disciple.

⁷ But the things that were vantage unto me I counted loss for Christ's sake. ⁸ Yea I think all things but loss for that excellent knowledge's sake of Christ Jesus my Lord. For whom I have counted all thing loss, and do judge them but dung, that I might win Christ, ⁹ and might be found in him, not having mine own righteousness which is of the law: But that which springeth of the faith which is in Christ. I mean, the righteousness which cometh of God through faith

¹ Then the LORD said unto Abram, "Get thee out of thy country and from thy kindred; and out of thy father's house, into a land which I will show thee. ² And I will make of thee a mighty people, and will bless thee, and make thy name great, that thou mayst be a blessing. ³ And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse them that curse thee. And in thee shall be blessed all the generations of the earth."

²⁰ Also, regard not your stuff, for the goods of all the land of Egypt shall be yours."

⁹ He that sayeth unto his father and mother, 'I saw him not,' and unto his brethren, 'I knew not,' and to his son, 'I know not': for they have observed thy words and kept thy covenant. ¹⁰ They shall teach Jacob thy judgments and Israel thy laws. They shall put cense before thy nose and whole sacrifices upon thine altar. ¹¹ Bless, LORD, their power, and accept the works of their hands: smite the backs of them that rise against them and of them that hate them, that they rise not again."

¹⁰ Blessed are they which suffer persecution for righteousness sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. ¹¹ Blessed are ye when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall falsely say all manner of evil sayings against you for my sake.

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

³⁵ For whosoever will save his life, shall lose it. But whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel's, the same shall save it.

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."

²³ And this I do for the Gospel's sake, that I might have my part thereof.

²⁴ By faith Moses, when he was of a great age, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter, ²⁵ and chose rather to suffer adversity with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season, ²⁶ and esteemed the rebuke of Christ greater riches, than the treasure of Egypt. For he had a respect unto the reward.

³ And didst wash thyself, and hast patience: and for my name's sake hast laboured and hast not fainted.

⁹ And Amaziah said again to the man of God, "What shall we do then, for the hundred talents which I have given unto the host of Israel?" And the man of God said, "The LORD is able to give thee much more than that."

¹¹ For the LORD God is a light and defense; the LORD will give grace and worship, and no good thing shall he withhold from them that live a godly life.

⁹ Honour the LORD with thy substance, and with the firstlings of all thine increase: ¹⁰ So shall thy barns be filled with plenteousness, and thy presses shall flow over with sweet wine.

¹⁶ To have wisdom in possession is better than gold; and to get understanding is more worth than silver.

¹⁰ Bring every tithe into my barn, that there may be meat in mine house: and prove me withal, sayeth the LORD of Hosts, if I will not open the windows of heaven unto you, and pour you out a blessing with plenteousness.

¹¹ Blessed are ye when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall falsely say all manner of evil sayings against you for my sake. ¹² Rejoice, and be glad: for great is your reward in heaven: For so persecuted they the prophets which were before your days.

³³ But rather, seek ye first the kingdom of heaven, and the righteousness thereof; and all these things shall be ministered unto you.

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.

³⁰ which same shall not receive much more in this world, and in the world to come: life everlasting."

²³ And Jesus walked in Solomon's porch.

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. ²³ "And in that day shall ye ask me no question. Verily, verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the father in my name, he will give it you.

⁴¹ And they departed from the council rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer rebuke for his name.

²⁵ At midnight, Paul and Silas prayed, and lauded God. And the prisoners heard them.

³ Neither do we so, only: but also we rejoice in tribulation: For we know that tribulation bringeth patience,

¹⁰ as sorrowing and yet always merry, as poor and yet make many rich, as having nothing and yet possessing all things.

⁸ God is able to make you rich in all grace, that ye in all things having sufficient unto the utmost, may be rich unto all manner good works, ⁹ as it is written, "He that dispersed abroad and hath given to the poor, his righteousness remaineth for ever." ¹⁰ He that findeth the sower seed, shall minister bread for food, and shall multiply your seed, and increase the fruits of your righteousness — that on all parts ¹¹ ye may be made rich in all singleness, which causeth through us, thanksgiving unto God.

⁸ Yea I think all things but loss for that excellent knowledge's sake of Christ Jesus my Lord. For whom I have counted all thing loss, and do judge them but dung, that I might win Christ,

¹⁶ Our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God our father, which hath loved us, and hath given us everlasting consolation, and good hope through grace,

⁶ Godliness is great riches, if a man be content with that he hath.

² My brethren, count it exceeding joy when ye fall into divers temptations, ³ forasmuch as ye know how that the trying of your faith bringeth patience: ⁴ and let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and sound, lacking nothing.

¹² Happy is the man that endureth in temptation, for when he is tried he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.

¹¹ Behold, we count them happy which endure. Ye have heard of the patience of Job, and have known what end the Lord made. For the Lord is very pitiful, and merciful.

¹² Dearly beloved, be not troubled in this heat, which now is come among you to try you, as though some strange thing had happened unto you: ¹³ but rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's passions, that when his glory appeareth, ye may be merry and glad. ¹⁴ If ye be railed upon for the name of Christ; happy are ye. For the spirit of glory and the spirit of God resteth upon you. On their part he is evil spoken of: but on your part he is glorified. ¹⁵ See that none of you suffer as a murderer, or as a thief, or an evil doer, or as a busybody in other men's matters. ¹⁶ If any man suffer as a Christian man, let him not be ashamed: but let him glorify God on his behalf.

¹ Behold what love the father hath showed on us, that we should be called the sons of God. For this cause the world knoweth you not; because it knoweth not him.

⁹ I know thy works and tribulation and poverty, but thou art rich. And I know the blasphemy of them which call themselves Jews and are not, but are the congregation of Satan.

¹⁸ I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich: and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, that thy filthy nakedness do not appear: and anoint thine eyes with eye salve, that thou mayest see.

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; ¹² And the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into the utter darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth."

³⁰ Many that are first, shall be last; and the last shall be first.

¹⁶ So the last shall be first, and the first shall be last. For many are called, and few be chosen."

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.

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.

⁴⁰ And Jesus answered, and said unto him, "Simon, I have somewhat to say unto thee." And he said, "Master say on." ⁴¹ "There was a certain lender, which had two debtors, the one ought five hundred pence, and the other fifty. ⁴² When they had nothing to pay, he forgave them both. Which of them tell me, will love him most?" ⁴³ Simon answered, and said, "I suppose that he to whom he forgave most." And he said unto him, "Thou hast truly judged." ⁴⁴ And he turned to the woman, and said unto Simon, "Seest thou this woman? I entered into thy house, and thou gavest me no water to my feet: but she hath washed my feet with tears, and wiped them with the hairs of her head. ⁴⁵ Thou gavest me no kiss: but she, since the time I came in, hath not ceased to kiss my feet. ⁴⁶ Mine head with oil thou didst not anoint: but she hath anointed my feet with ointment. ⁴⁷ Wherefore I say unto thee, Many sins are forgiven her, for she loved much. To whom less is forgiven, the same doeth less love."

³⁰ And behold, there are last, which shall be first: And there are first which shall be last."

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."

⁴⁶ Then Paul and Barnabas waxed bold, and said, "It was meet that the word of God should first have been preached to you. But seeing ye put it from you, and think yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, lo, we turn to the gentiles. ⁴⁷ For so hath the Lord commanded us, 'I have made thee a light to the gentiles, that thou be salvation unto the end of the world.'" ⁴⁸ The gentiles heard, and were glad, and glorified the word of the Lord, and believed even as many as were ordained unto eternal life.

³⁰ What shall we say then? We say that the gentiles which followed not righteousness, have overtaken righteousness: I mean, the righteousness which cometh of faith. ³¹ But Israel, which followed the law of righteousness, could not attain unto the law of righteousness. ³² And wherefore? Because they sought it not by faith: but as it were, by the works of the law. For they have stumbled at the stumbling stone. ³³ As it is written, "Behold I put in Zion a stumbling stone, and a rock which shall make men fall. And none that believe on him, shall be ashamed."

⁸ "'Hear O Joshua thou high priest: thou and thy friends that dwell before thee, for they are wondrous people. Behold, I will bring forth the branch of my servant:

²⁵ At that time, Jesus answered and said, "I praise thee, O father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast opened them unto babes,

¹¹ He answered, and said unto them, "It is given unto you to know the secrets of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.

¹⁷ And Jesus ascended to Jerusalem, and took the twelve disciples apart in the way, and said to them, ¹⁸ "Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and the son of man shall be betrayed unto the chief priests, and unto the scribes, and they shall condemn him to death, ¹⁹ and shall deliver him to the gentiles, to be mocked, to be scourged, and to be crucified: and the third day he shall rise again."

³⁴ And without similitude spake he nothing unto them. But when they were apart, he expounded all things to his disciples.

⁵¹ And it followed, when the time was come that he should be received up, then he set his face to go to Jerusalem:

²³ And he turned to his disciples, and said, secretly, "Happy are the eyes, which see that ye see.

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. ³² He shall be delivered unto the gentiles, and shall be mocked, and shall be despitefully entreated, and shall be spitted on: ³³ and when they have scourged him, they will put him to death, and the third day, shall he arise again." ³⁴ But they understood none of these things. And this saying was hid from them. And they perceived not the things which were spoken.

⁸ His disciples said unto him, "Master, the Jews lately sought means to stone thee, and wilt thou go thither again?"

¹⁶ Then said Thomas, which is called Didymus, unto the disciples, "Let us also go, that we may die with him."

²¹ From that time forth, Jesus began to show unto his disciples, how that he must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders, and of the high priests, and of the scribes; and must be killed, and rise again the third day.

²² As they passed the time in Galilee, Jesus said unto them, "The son of man shall be betrayed into the hands of men, ²³ and they shall kill him, and the third day he shall rise again." And they sorrowed greatly.

⁶⁶ What think ye?" They answered and said, "He is worthy to die."

² and brought him bound and delivered him unto Pontius Pilate, the deputy.

³¹ And he began to teach them, how that the son of man must suffer many things, and should be reproved of the elders and of the high priests and scribes, and should be killed, and after three days arise again.

³¹ For he taught his disciples, and said unto them, "The son of man shall be delivered into the hands of men, and they shall kill him, and after that he is killed he shall arise again the third day."

⁶⁴ Ye have heard the blasphemy, what think ye?" And they all gave sentence that he was worthy of 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.

²² saying that the son of man must suffer many things, and be reproved of the elders, and of the high priests and scribes, and be slain, and the third day rise again.

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. ³² He shall be delivered unto the gentiles, and shall be mocked, and shall be despitefully entreated, and shall be spitted on: ³³ and when they have scourged him, they will put him to death, and the third day, shall he arise again."

¹ And the whole multitude of them arose, and led him unto Pilate. ² And they began to accuse him saying, "We have found this fellow, perverting the people and forbidding to pay tribute to Caesar: and saying that he is Christ, a King."

²¹ And they cried, saying, "Crucify him; Crucify him."

⁶ He is not here: but is risen. Remember how he spake unto you, when he was yet with you in Galilee, ⁷ saying that the son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again."

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.

¹¹ Jesus answered, "Thou couldest have no power at all against me, except it were given unto thee from above. Therefore he that delivered me unto thee, is more in sin."

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,

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.

²² And now, behold, I go bound in the spirit unto Jerusalem, and know not what shall come on me there,

⁶ Ye have condemned and have killed the just, and he hath not resisted you.

¹⁰ they abhor me, they flee far from me, and stain my face with spittle,

¹⁰ For why? Thou shalt not leave my soul in hell, neither shalt thou suffer thy holy one to see corruption.

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."

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

⁶ But I offer my back unto the smiters, and my cheeks to the nippers. I turn not my face from shame and spitting,

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.

² He hath wounded us, and he shall bind us up again; after two days shall he quicken us, in the third day he shall raise us up, so that we shall live in his sight.

³⁹ He answered them saying, "The evil and adulterous generation seeketh a sign; but there shall no sign be given to them, but the sign of the prophet Jonah: ⁴⁰ For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.

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,

²⁷ Then the soldiers of the deputy took Jesus unto the common hall, and gathered unto him all the company. 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. ³² And as they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, named Simon: him they compelled to bear his cross. ³³ And when they came unto the place, which is called Golgotha, that is to say, a place of dead men's skulls, ³⁴ they gave him vinegar to drink, mingled with gall. And when he had tasted thereof, he would not drink. ³⁵ When they had crucified him, they parted his garments, and did cast lots. To fulfill that was spoken by the prophet, "They divided my garments among them: and upon my vesture did cast lots." ³⁶ And they sat and watched him there. ³⁷ And they set up over his head the cause of his death written, "This is Jesus the King of the Jews." ³⁸ And there were two thieves crucified with him, one on the right hand, and another on the left hand. 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.

⁶³ Then the highest priest rent his clothes and said, "What need we any further of witness?

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.

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.

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.

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.

¹¹ And Herod, with his men of war, despised him, and mocked him; And arrayed him in white, and sent him again to Pilate.

³⁵ And the people stood and beheld. And the rulers mocked him with them, saying, "He helped other men, let him help himself if he be Christ, the chosen of God." ³⁶ The soldiers also mocked him, and came and gave him vinegar, ³⁷ and said, "If thou be that King of the Jews, save thyself." ³⁸ And his superscription was written over him, in Greek, Latin, and Hebrew letters: "This is the King of the Jews." ³⁹ And one of the evildoers which hanged, railed on him, saying, "If thou be Christ, save thyself and us."

¹⁷ For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.

¹⁰ and said unto him, "All men at the beginning set forth good wine; And when men be drunk, then that which is worse: But thou hast kept back the good wine until now."

² And the soldiers wound a crown of thorns and put it on his head. And they did on him a purple garment, ³ and said, "Hail King of the Jews." And they smote him on the face.

⁴ and that he was buried, and that he arose again the third day according to the scriptures,

⁴ And when the wife of Tekoa was come to speak with the king, she fell on her face to the ground and did obeisance and said, "Help me, O king." ⁵ And the king said unto her, "What aileth thee?" And she answered, "I am a widow, and mine husband is dead. ⁶ And thy handmaid had two sons which fought together in the fields where was no man to go between them, and the one slew the other. ⁷ And behold, the whole kindred arose against thy handmaid and said, 'Deliver us him that smote his brother, that we may kill him for the soul of his brother whom he slew: for he will destroy the heir also.' And so they shall quench my sparkle which is left that he shall stir up neither name or issue upon the earth unto my husband." ⁸ And the king said unto the wife, "Go home to thine house, and I will give a charge for thee." ⁹ And the woman of Tekoa said unto the king, "My lord king, the trespass be on me and on my father's house, and the king and his seat be guiltless." ¹⁰ And then said the king, "If any man say ought unto thee, bring him to me, and he shall no more trouble thee." ¹¹ Then said she, "Let the king remember his LORD God, that the next of the blood gather not on heaps together to destroy, and that they slay not my son." And he said, "As sure as the LORD liveth, there shall not one hair of thy son's head fall to the earth."

¹⁶ And she said unto him, "Tell what it is."

²⁰ Then she said, "I must desire a little petition of thee: say me not nay." And the king said unto her, "Ask on my mother: for I will not say thee nay."

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. 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."

³⁷ And he suffered no man to follow him more than Peter, and James and John the brother of James.

² And after six days, Jesus took Peter, James, and John and led them up into a high mountain out of the way alone, and he was transfigured before them.

³³ And he took with him Peter, James, and John, and he began to wax abashed and to be in an agony.

⁵ And in Gibeon the LORD appeared to Solomon in a dream by night. And God said, "Ask what I shall give thee." ⁶ And Solomon said, "Thou hast showed unto thy servant David, my father, great mercy; according as he walked before thee in truth and in righteousness and plainness of heart with thee. And thou hast kept for him this great mercy, that thou hast given him a son to sit on his seat: as it is come to pass this day. ⁷ And now LORD, my God, it is thou that hast made thy servant king instead of David my father. And I am a young lad and know not how to order myself. ⁸ And thy servant is in the midst of thy people which thou hast chosen, a people that are so many that they can not be told nor numbered for multitude. ⁹ Give therefore unto thy servant an understanding heart to judge thy people, and to discern between good, and bad. For who is able to judge this, thy so weighty a people?" ¹⁰ And it pleased the LORD well, that Solomon had desired this thing. ¹¹ Wherefore God said unto him, "Because thou hast asked this thing and hast not asked long life, neither hast asked riches, nor the lives of thine enemies, but hast asked the discretion to understand equity: ¹² see, I have done according to thy petition. And behold, I have given thee a wise and an understanding heart, so that there was none like thee before, neither after thee shall any arise like unto thee. ¹³ And thereto I have given thee that thou askedst not, both riches and honour: so that there shall be no king like thee all thy days. ¹⁴ And if thou wilt walk in my ways, to keep mine ordinances and commandments as David thy father did walk, I will lengthen thy days also." ¹⁵ When Solomon awoke, this was his dream. And he came to Jerusalem and presented himself before the Ark of the covenant of the LORD, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings, and made a feast to all his servants.

⁵¹ And Jesus answered, and said unto him, "What wilt thou that I do unto thee?" The blind said unto him, "Master, that I might see."

⁷ If ye abide in me, and my words also abide in you: ask what ye will, and it shall be done to you.

¹⁹ And Micaiah said, "Hear therefore the word of the LORD. I saw the LORD sit on his seat and all his company of heaven standing about him, on his righthand and on his left.

⁹ Kings' daughters go in thy goodly array, and upon thy righthand standeth the queen in a vesture of the most fine gold.

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

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.

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

³⁸ Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words, among this adulterous and sinful generation: of him shall the son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his father with the holy angels."

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

²⁶ Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory?"

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 king Solomon answered and said unto his mother, "Why dost thou ask Abishag the Shunammite for Adonijah? But rather ask for him the kingdom, seeing he is mine elder brother! Even for him ask it; and for Abiathar the priest, and for Joab the son of Zeruiah."

⁸ For in the hand of the LORD there is a cup, and the wine is red; it is full mixed, and he poureth out of the same. As for the dregs thereof, all the ungodly of the earth shall drink them, and suck them out.

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:

⁵ And seekest thou yet promotion? Look not for it, and desire it not. For I will bring a miserable plague upon all flesh, sayeth the LORD. But thy life will I give thee for a prey, wheresoever thou goest."

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."

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."

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."

⁵⁰ Notwithstanding, I must be baptised with a baptism. And how am I pained till it be ended?

⁴² saying, "Father if thou wilt, withdraw this cup from me. Nevertheless, not my will; But thine be fulfilled."

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?"

²⁶ Likewise, the spirit also helpeth our infirmities. For we know not, what to desire as we ought: but the spirit maketh intercession mightily for us with groanings which cannot be expressed with tongue.

³ Ye ask and receive not, because ye ask amiss, even to consume it upon your voluptuousness.

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?

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

³⁷ Peter said unto him, "Lord why cannot I follow thee now? I will give my life for thy sake."

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.

¹⁴ I have given them thy words, and the world hath hated them: because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

² And he killed James the brother of John with the sword:

²⁴ Now joy I in my sufferings which I suffer, for you; and fulfill that which is behind of the passions of Christ in my flesh for his body's sake, which is the congregation -

⁹ John, your brother and companion in tribulation, and in the kingdom and patience which is in Jesus Christ, was in the isle of Patmos for the word of God, and for the witnessing of Jesus Christ.

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."

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

²⁴ "Father, I will that they, which thou hast given me, be with me where I am: that they may see my glory which thou hast given me. For thou lovedest me before the making of the world.

¹⁶ But now they desire a better, that is to say a heavenly. Wherefore God is not ashamed of them, even to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city.

¹⁰ Among the proud there is ever strife; but among those that do all things with advisement, there is wisdom.

²⁴ And when the ten heard this, they disdained at the two brethren.

³³ And he came to Capernaum, and when he was come to house, he asked them, "What was it that ye disputed between you by the way?" ³⁴ And they held their peace: for by the way they reasoned among themselves, who should be the chiefest. 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." ³⁶ And he took a child, and set him in the midst of them, and took him in his arms and said unto them,

²⁴ And there was a strife among them, which of them should be taken for the greatest.

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

³ that nothing be done through strife or vain glory, but that in meekness of mind every man esteem others better than himself,

⁵ Either do ye think that the scripture saith in vain, "The spirit that dwelleth in you, lusteth even contrary to envy,"

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.

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.

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

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.

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."

¹¹ For whosoever exalteth himself, shall be brought low. And he that humbleth himself, shall be exalted."

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."

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. ¹⁷ If ye understand these things, happy are ye if ye do them. 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.

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."

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.

¹⁹ For though I be free from all men, yet have I made myself servant unto all men, that I might win the more. ²⁰ And unto the Jews, I became as a Jew, to win the Jews. To them that were under the law, was I made as though I had been under the law, to win them that were under the law. ²¹ To them that were without law, became I as though I had been without law — when I was not without law as pertaining to God, but under a law as concerning Christ — to win them that were without law. ²² To the weak became I as weak, to win the weak. In all thing I fashioned myself to all men, to save, at the leastway, some. ²³ And this I do for the Gospel's sake, that I might have my part thereof.

¹³ Brethren, ye were called into liberty, only let not your liberty be an occasion unto the flesh but in love serve one another.

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.

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.

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.

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."

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.

¹⁵ As my father knoweth me: even so know I my father. And I give my life for the sheep,

¹⁴ If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet: ye also ought to wash one another's feet.

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.

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.

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" —

⁵ Let the same mind be in you that was in Christ Jesus: ⁶ Which, being in the shape of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God. 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.

⁴ and one that ruleth his own house honestly, having children under obedience, with all honesty. ⁵ For if a man cannot rule his own house, how shall he care for the congregation of God? ⁶ He may not be a young scholar, lest he swell and fall into the judgment of the evil speaker.

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.

⁸ And though he were God's son, yet learned he obedience, by those things which he suffered,

¹⁹ but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb undefiled, and without spot,

²⁹ And as they departed from Jericho, much people followed him. ³⁰ And behold, two blind men sitting by the wayside, when they heard that Jesus passed by, cried, saying, "Master, the son of David have mercy on us." ³¹ And the people rebuked them, because they should hold their peace: But they cried the more, saying, "Have mercy on us, Master, which art the son of David." ³² Then Jesus stood still, and called them, and said, "What will ye that I should do to you?" ³³ They said unto him, "Master, that our eyes may be opened." ³⁴ Jesus had compassion on them, and touched their eyes. And immediately their eyes received sight: And they followed him.

²⁰ And there was a certain beggar, named Lazarus, which lay at his gate full of sores,

²² And it fortuned that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: The rich man also died, and was buried in hell.

³⁵ And it came to pass, as he was come nigh unto Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the way side begging.

⁸ The neighbours, and they that had seen him before how that he was a beggar said, "Is not this he that sat and begged?"

² And there was a certain man halt from his mother's womb, whom they brought and laid at the gate of the temple called Beautiful, to ask his alms of them that entered into the temple. ³ Which same, when he saw Peter and John, that they would into the temple, desired to receive an alms;

⁶ For unto us a child is born, and unto us a son is given. Upon his shoulders shall the kingdom lie, and he shall be called with his own name, "Wonderful, the giver of counsel, the mighty God, the Everlasting Father, the Prince of peace." ⁷ He shall make no end to increase the kingdom and peace, and shall sit upon the seat of David and in his kingdom, to set up the same: to establish it with equity and righteousness, from thenceforth for evermore. This shall the jealousy of the LORD of hosts bring to pass.

¹ There shall come a rod out of the stock of Jesse, and a branch shall spring out of his root.

⁵ "Behold, the time cometh, sayeth the LORD, that I will raise up the righteous Branch of David, which shall bear rule, and discuss matters with wisdom, and shall set up equity and righteousness again in the earth. ⁶ In his time shall Judah be saved and Israel shall dwell without fear. And this is the name that they shall call him: even, 'The LORD our righteous maker.'

¹ This is the book of the generations of Jesus Christ: the son of David, the son also of Abraham.

²³ and went and dwelt in a city called Nazareth: to fulfill that which was spoken by the Prophets, "He shall be called a Nazarite."

²⁷ And as Jesus departed thence, two blind men followed him crying, and saying, "O thou son of David, have mercy on us."

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

²² And behold, a woman which was a Canaanite came out of the same coasts, and cried unto him, saying, "Have mercy on me Lord, thou son of David, my daughter is piteously vexed with a devil."

³⁰ And behold, two blind men sitting by the wayside, when they heard that Jesus passed by, cried, saying, "Master, the son of David have mercy on us."

⁹ Moreover, the people that went before, and they also that came after, cried, saying, "Hosanna to the son of David: Blessed be he that cometh in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest."

¹¹ And the people said, "This is Jesus the Prophet of Nazareth, a city of Galilee."

⁴² saying, "What think ye of Christ? Whose son is he?" They said unto him, "The son of David." ⁴³ He said unto them, "How then doth David in spirit call him Lord, saying, ⁴⁴ 'The Lord said to my Lord, sit on my right hand: till I make thine enemies thy footstool.' ⁴⁵ If David call him Lord: How is he then his son?"

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."

²⁴ saying, "Let me be: what have we to do with thou, Jesus of Nazareth? Art thou come to destroy us? I know thee, what thou art, thou art even that holy man promised of God."

¹⁶ And he came to Nazareth where he was nursed, and as his custom was, went into the synagogue on the Sabbath days, and stood up for to read.

³⁶ And when he heard the people pass by, he asked what it meant. ³⁷ And they said unto him that Jesus of Nazareth, passed by.

⁴⁶ And Nathanael said unto him, "Can there any good thing come out of Nazareth?" Philip said to him, "Come and see."

⁴¹ Others said, "This is Christ." Some said, "Shall Christ come out of Galilee?

⁵² They answered, and said unto him, "Art thou also of Galilee? Search and look, for out of Galilee ariseth no prophet."

¹⁹ And Pilate wrote his title, and put it on the cross: The writing was, "Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews."

¹⁴ for we heard him say, 'This Jesus of Nazareth shall destroy this place, and shall change the ordinances which Moses gave unto us.'"

²² And after he had put him down, he set up David to be their king: of whom he gave reported, saying, 'I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after mine own heart, he shall fulfill all my will.' ²³ Of this man's seed hath God, according to his promise, brought forth to the people of Israel a saviour, one Jesus,

³ that make mention of his son, the which was begotten unto him of the seed of David, as pertaining to the flesh: ⁴ and declared to be the son of God with power of the holy ghost, that sanctifieth, since the time that Jesus Christ our Lord rose again from death:

¹⁶ "I, Jesus, sent mine angel, to testify unto you these things in the congregations. I am the root and the generation of David, and the bright morning star."

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."

¹² and that thou, LORD, art merciful; for thou rewardest every man according to his work.

¹³ Ye shall seek me, and find me: Yea, if so be that ye seek me with your whole heart,

²³ And he gave her never a word to answer. Then came to him his disciples, and besought him saying, "Send her away, for she followeth us crying." ²⁴ He answered, and said, "I am not sent, but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel." ²⁵ Then she came and worshipped him, saying, "Master, help me." ²⁶ He answered and said, "It is not good to take the children's bread, and to cast it to whelps." ²⁷ She answered and said, "It is truth, nevertheless the whelps eat of the crumbs, which fall from their masters' table." ²⁸ Then Jesus answered, and said unto her, "O woman great is thy faith, be it to thee, even as thou desirest." And her daughter was made whole even at that same hour.

¹³ Then were brought to him young children, that he should put his hands on them and pray. And his disciples rebuked them.

³¹ And the people rebuked them, because they should hold their peace: But they cried the more, saying, "Have mercy on us, Master, which art the son of David."

³⁵ While he yet spake, there came from the ruler of the synagogue's house, certain which said, "Thy daughter is dead: why diseasest thou the Master any further?"

²⁶ The woman was a Greek out of Syrophoenicia, and she besought him that he would cast out the devil out of her daughter. ²⁷ And Jesus said unto her, "Let the children first be fed. For it is not meet, to take the children's bread, and to cast it unto whelps." ²⁸ She answered and said unto him, "Even so, Master. Nevertheless, the whelps also eat under the table of the children's crumbs." ²⁹ And he said unto her, "For this saying, go thy way, the devil is gone out of thy daughter."

⁵ And he said unto them, "If any of you should have a friend, and should go to him at midnight, and say unto him, 'Friend, lend me three loaves; ⁶ for a friend of mine is come out of the way to me, and I have nothing to set before him': ⁷ And he within should answer and say, 'Trouble me not, now is the door shut, and my servants are with me in the chamber, I cannot rise and give them to thee.' ⁸ I say unto you, Though he would not arise and give him, because he is his friend: Yet because of his importunity he would rise and give him as many as he needed. ⁹ "And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you. Seek, and ye shall find. Knock, and it shall be opened unto you. ¹⁰ For every one that asketh, receiveth: and he that seeketh, findeth: and to him that knocketh shall it be opened.

¹ He put forth a similitude unto them, signifying that men ought always to pray, and not to be weary, ² saying, "There was a Judge in a certain city, which feared not God neither regarded man. ³ And there was a certain widow in the same city, which came unto him saying, 'Avenge me of mine adversary.' ⁴ And he would not for a while. But afterward he said unto himself, 'Though I fear not God, nor care for man, ⁵ yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her: lest at the last she come, and hag on me.'" ⁶ And the Lord said, "Hear what the unrighteous judge sayeth. ⁷ And shall not God avenge his elect, which cry night and day unto him? Yea though he defer them: ⁸ I tell you, he will avenge them, and that quickly. Nevertheless, when the son of man cometh, suppose ye that he shall find faith on the earth?"

³⁹ And they which went before rebuked him, that he should hold his peace. But he much the more so cried, "Thou son of David, have mercy on me."

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,

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.

¹⁵ But thou, O LORD God, art full of compassion and mercy, longsuffering, plenteous in goodness and truth.

⁸ The LORD is gracious and merciful, long-suffering and of great goodness.

⁴⁰ And Jesus stood still, and commanded him, to be brought unto him. And when he was come near, he asked him,

²⁸ And as soon as she had so said she went her way, and called Mary her sister secretly, saying, "The master is come and calleth for thee."

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.

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.

¹ Wherefore let us also — seeing that we are compassed with so great a multitude of witnesses — lay away all that presseth down, and the sin that hangeth on us, and let us run with patience, unto the battle that is set before us,

⁷ And the same night God appeared unto Solomon and said to him, "Ask what I shall give thee."

⁸ Be ye not like them therefore: for your father knoweth whereof ye have need, before ye ask of him.

⁷ "Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:

⁷ and greetings in the markets, and to be called of men, 'Rabbi.'

³⁶ He said unto them, "What would ye I should do unto you?"

⁴¹ saying, "What wilt thou, that I do unto thee?" And he said, "Lord, that I may receive my sight." ⁴² Jesus said unto him, "Receive thy sight: Thy faith hath saved thee." ⁴³ And immediately he saw, and followed him, praising God. And all the people, when they saw it, gave laud to God.

¹⁶ Jesus said unto her, "Mary." She turned herself, and said unto him, "Rabboni," which is to say, Master.

⁶ Be not careful: but in all things show your petition unto God in prayer and supplication with giving of thanks.

⁹ For he spoke, and it was done; he commanded, and it stood fast.

⁸ the LORD giveth sight to the blind. The LORD helpeth them up that are fallen; the LORD loveth the righteous.

¹⁸ And in that day, shall deaf men hear the words of the book, and the eyes of the blind shall see, even out of the cloud and out of darkness. ¹⁹ The meek-spirited shall hold a merry feast in the LORD, and the poor among them that be lowly shall rejoice in the holy one of Israel.

⁵ Then shall the eyes of the blind be lightened, and the ears of the deaf opened.

¹⁶ I will bring the blind into the street, that they know not: and lead them in to a foot path, that they are ignorant in. I shall make darkness light before them, and the thing that is crooked to be straight. These things will I do, and not forget them. ¹⁷ And therefore let them convert, and be ashamed earnestly, that hope in Idols and say to fashioned images, "Ye are our gods." ¹⁸ Hear, O ye deaf men, and sharpen your sights to see, O ye blind!

²² Then Jesus turned him about, and beheld her, saying, "Daughter, be of good comfort, thy faith hath made thee safe." And she was made whole even that same hour.

²⁸ And when he was come into the home, the blind came to him: and Jesus said unto them, "Believe ye that I am able to do this?" And they said unto him, "Yea, Lord." 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."

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.

²² Then was brought to him one possessed with a devil, which was both blind and dumb: and he healed him, insomuch that he which was blind and dumb, both spake and saw.

²⁸ Then Jesus answered, and said unto her, "O woman great is thy faith, be it to thee, even as thou desirest." And her daughter was made whole even at that same hour.

¹⁴ And the blind and the halt came to him in the temple, and he healed them.

³¹ And he came and took her by the hand and lifted her up, and the fever forsook her by and by: And she ministered unto them.

³⁴ And he said unto her, "Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole. Go in peace, and be whole of thy plague."

²⁵ After that he put his hands again upon his eyes, and made him see. And he was restored to his sight, and saw every man clearly.

⁵⁰ And he said to the woman, "Thy faith hath saved thee; Go in peace."

² And also certain women, which were healed of evil spirits, and infirmities: Mary called Magdalene, out of whom went seven devils, ³ and Joanna the wife of Chuzaa, Herod's steward; And Susanna; And many others: which ministered unto them of their substance.

⁵ As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world." ⁶ As soon as he had thus spoken, he spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and rubbed the clay on the eyes of the blind, ⁷ and said unto him, "Go wash thee in the pool of Siloam" — which by interpretation, signifieth Sent. He went his way and washed, and came again seeing.

³² Since the world began was it not heard that any man opened the eyes of one that was born blind.

³⁹ Jesus said, "I am come unto judgment, into this world: that they which see not, might see, and they which see might be made blind."

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.'
