Mark 14 Cross References - MSTC

¹ After two days followed Easter, and the days of sweet bread. And the high priests and the scribes sought means, how they might take him by craft and put him to death. ² But they said, "Not in the feast day, lest any business arise among the people." ³ When he was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper, even as he sat at meat, there came a woman having an alabaster box of ointment, called nard, that was pure and costly, and she brake the box and poured it on his head. ⁴ And there were some that were not content in themselves, and said, "What needed this waste of ointment? ⁵ For it might have been sold for more than three hundred pence, and been given unto the poor." And they grudged against her. ⁶ And Jesus said, "Let her be in rest. Why trouble ye her? She hath done a good work on me. ⁷ For ye shall have poor with you always: and whensoever ye will ye may do them good: but me ye shall not have always. ⁸ She hath done that she could: she came aforehand to anoint my body to his buryingward. ⁹ Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached throughout the whole world, this also that she hath done shall be rehearsed in remembrance of her." ¹⁰ And Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve, went away unto the high priests, to betray him unto them. ¹¹ When they heard that, they were glad, and promised that they would give him money. And he sought, how he might conveniently betray him. ¹² And the first day of sweet bread, when men offer the paschal lamb, his disciples said unto him, "Where wilt thou that we go and prepare that thou mayest eat the Easter lamb?" ¹³ And he sent forth two of his disciples, and said unto them, "Go ye into the city, and there shall a man meet you bearing a pitcher of water. Follow him. ¹⁴ And whithersoever he goeth in, say ye to the good man of the house, 'The master asketh where is the guest chamber, where I shall eat the Easter lamb with my disciples?' ¹⁵ And he will show you a great parlour, paved and prepared: there make ready for us." ¹⁶ And his disciples went forth, and came in to the city, and found as he had said unto them, and made ready the Easter lamb. ¹⁷ And at even, he came with the twelve. ¹⁸ And as they sat at board and ate, Jesus said, "Verily I say unto you, That one of you shall betray me, which eateth with me." ¹⁹ And they began to mourn, and to say to him one by one, "Is it I?" And another said, "Is it I?" ²⁰ He answered, and said unto them, "It is one of the twelve and the same dippeth with me in the platter. ²¹ The son of man goeth, as it is written of him: but woe be to that man, by whom the son of man is betrayed. Good were it for him, if that man had never been born." ²² And as they ate, Jesus took bread, blessed and brake it and gave it to them and said, "Take, eat; This is my body." ²³ And he took the cup, gave thanks, and gave it to them, and they drank all of it. ²⁴ And he said unto them, "This is my blood, of the New Testament, which is shed for many. ²⁵ Verily I say unto you, I will drink no more of this fruit of the vine, until that day that I shall drink it new in the kingdom of God." ²⁶ And when they had said grace, they went out into the Mount Olivet. ²⁷ And Jesus said unto them, "All ye shall be offended through me this night. For it is written, 'I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered.' ²⁸ But after that I am risen again I will go into Galilee before you." ²⁹ Peter said unto him, "And though all men should be offended, yet would not I." ³⁰ And Jesus said unto him, "Verily I say unto thee this day even in this night, before the cock crow twice, thou shalt deny me thrice." ³¹ And he spake bolder, "No, if I should die with thee, I will not deny thee." Likewise also said they all. ³² And they came into a place named Gethsemane. And he said to his disciples, "Sit ye here while I go apart and pray." ³³ And he took with him Peter, James, and John, and he began to wax abashed and to be in an agony. ³⁴ And said unto them, "My soul is very heavy even unto the death, tarry here and watch." ³⁵ And he went forth a little and fell down on the ground and prayed that if it were possible, the hour might pass from him. ³⁶ And he said, "Abba father, all things are possible unto thee, take away this cup from me. Nevertheless, not that I will, but that thou wilt be done." ³⁷ And he came and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, "Simon, sleepest thou? Couldest not thou watch with me one hour? ³⁸ Watch ye, and pray, lest ye enter into temptation: the spirit is ready, but the flesh is weak." ³⁹ And again he went away and prayed, and spake the same words. ⁴⁰ And he returned and found them asleep again, for their eyes were heavy: neither could they wist what they might answer to him. ⁴¹ And he came the third time, and said unto them, "Sleep henceforth, and take your ease. It is enough. The hour is come; Behold the son of man shall be delivered into the hands of sinners. ⁴² Rise up, let us go. Lo: he that betrayeth me is at hand." ⁴³ And immediately, while he yet spake, came Judas, one of the twelve, and with him a great number of people with swords and staves from the high priests and scribes and elders. ⁴⁴ And he that betrayed him had given them a general token, saying, "Whosoever I do kiss, he it is, take him, and lead him away warily." ⁴⁵ And as soon as he was come, he went straightway to him, and said unto him, "Master, master," and kissed him. ⁴⁶ And they laid their hands on him, and took him. ⁴⁷ And one of them that stood by drew out a sword, and smote a servant of the high priest, and cut off his ear. ⁴⁸ And Jesus answered and said unto them, "Ye be come out as unto a thief with swords and with staves for to take me? ⁴⁹ I was daily with you in the temple, teaching, and ye took me not: but that the scriptures should be fulfilled." ⁵⁰ And they all forsook him and ran away. ⁵¹ And there was a certain young man that followed him clothed in linen upon the bare, and the young men caught him, ⁵² and he left his linen and fled from them naked. ⁵³ And they led Jesus away to the highest priest of all, and to him came all the high priests and the elders, and the scribes. ⁵⁴ And Peter followed him a great way off, even into the palace of the high priest, and he was there and sat with the servants, and warmed himself at the fire. ⁵⁵ And the high priests and all the council sought for witness against Jesus, to put him to death; And they found none. ⁵⁶ Yet many bare false witness against him, but their witness agreed not together. ⁵⁷ And there arose certain and brought false witness against him, saying, ⁵⁸ "We heard him say, 'I will destroy this temple made with hands, and within three days I will build another, made without hands.'" ⁵⁹ But their witness agreed not together. ⁶⁰ And the highest priest stood up amongst them all, and asked Jesus saying, "Answerest thou nothing? How is it that these bear witness against thee?" ⁶¹ And he held his peace, and answered nothing. Again the highest priest asked him, and said unto him, "Art thou the Christ, the son of the blessed?" ⁶² And Jesus said, "I am. And ye shall see the son of man sit on the righthand of power, and come in the clouds of heaven." ⁶³ Then the highest priest rent his clothes and said, "What need we any further of witness? ⁶⁴ Ye have heard the blasphemy, what think ye?" And they all gave sentence that he was worthy of death. ⁶⁵ And some began to spit at him, and to cover his face, and to beat him with their fists, and to say unto him, "Aread unto us." And the servants buffeted him on the face. ⁶⁶ And Peter was beneath in the palace, and there came one of the wenches of the highest priest; ⁶⁷ And when she saw Peter warming himself, she looked on him, and said, "Was not thou also with Jesus of Nazareth?" ⁶⁸ And he denied it, saying, "I know him not, neither know I what thou sayest." And he went out into the porch, and the cock crew. ⁶⁹ And a damsel saw him, and again began to say to them that stood by, This is one of them. ⁷⁰ And he denied it again. And anon after, they that stood by, said again to Peter, "Surely thou art one of them, for thou art of Galilee, and thy speech agreeth thereto." ⁷¹ And he began to curse and to swear, saying, "I know not this man of whom ye speak." ⁷² And again the cock crew. And Peter remembered the word that Jesus said unto him. "Before the cock crow twice, thou shalt deny me thrice," and began to weep.

⁶ And ye shall keep him inward, until the fourteenth day of the same month. And every man of the multitude of Israel shall kill him about even. ⁷ And they shall take of the blood and strike on the two side posts and on the upper doorpost of the houses, wherein they eat him. ⁸ And they shall eat the flesh the same night, roast with fire, and with unleavened bread, and with sour herbs they shall eat it. ⁹ See that ye eat not thereof sodden in water, but roast with fire: both head, feet, and purtenance together. ¹⁰ And see that ye let nothing of it remain unto the morning: if ought remain, burn it with fire. ¹¹ Of this manner shall ye eat it: with your loins girded, and shoes on your feet, and your staves in your hands. And ye shall eat it in haste; for it is the LORD's Passover. ¹² "For I will go about in the land of Egypt this same night, and will smite all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both of man and beast, and upon all the gods of Egypt will I the LORD do execution. ¹³ And the blood shall be unto you a token, upon the houses wherein ye are; for when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy you, when I smite the land of Egypt. ¹⁴ And this day shall be unto you a remembrance, and ye shall keep it holy unto the LORD: even throughout your generations after you shall ye keep it holy day, that it be a custom forever. ¹⁵ Seven days shall ye eat unleavened bread, so that even the first day ye shall put away leaven out of your houses. For whosoever eateth leavened bread from the first day until the seventh day, that soul shall be plucked out from Israel. ¹⁶ "The first day shall be a holy feast unto you, and the seventh also. There shall be no manner of work done in them, save about that only which every man must eat: that only may ye do. ¹⁷ And see that ye keep you to unleavened bread. For upon that same day I will bring your armies out of the land of Egypt, therefore ye shall observe this day and all your children after you, that it be a custom forever. ¹⁸ The first month and the fourteenth day of the month at even, ye shall eat sweet bread unto the twenty-first day of the month at even again. ¹⁹ Seven days see that there be no leavened bread found in your houses. For whosoever eateth leavened bread, that soul shall be rooted out from the multitude of Israel: whether he be a stranger or born in the land. ²⁰ Therefore see that ye eat no leavened bread, but in all your habitations eat sweet bread."

⁵ The fourteenth day of the first month at evening is the LORD's Passover. ⁶ And the fifteenth day of the same month is the feast of sweet bread unto the LORD; seven days ye must eat unleavened bread. ⁷ The first day shall be a holy feast unto you, so that ye may do no laborious work therein.

¹⁶ And the fourteenth day of the first month shall be Passover unto the LORD. ¹⁷ And the fifteenth day of the same month shall be a feast, in which seven days men must eat unleavened bread. ¹⁸ The first day shall be a holy feast, so that ye shall do no manner of laborious work therein. ¹⁹ And ye shall offer a burnt offering unto the LORD, two bullocks, one ram, and seven lambs of a year old without spot, ²⁰ and their meat offering of flour mingled with oil, three tenth deals unto a bullock, and two tenth deals unto a ram, ²¹ and evermore one tenth deal unto a lamb, throughout the seven lambs: ²² and a he-goat for a sin offering to make an atonement for you. ²³ And ye shall offer these, beside the burnt offering in the morning that is always offered. ²⁴ And after this manner ye shall offer throughout the seven days, the food of the sacrifice of sweet favour unto the LORD. And it shall be done beside the daily burnt offering and his drink offering. ²⁵ And the seventh day shall be a holy feast unto you, so that ye shall do no laborious work therein.

¹ Observe the month of Abib, and offer Passover unto the LORD thy God. For in the month of Abib, the LORD thy God brought thee out of Egypt by night: ² Thou shalt therefore offer Passover unto the LORD thy God, and sheep and oxen in the place which the LORD shall choose to make his name dwell there. ³ Thou shalt eat no leavened bread therewith: but shalt eat therewith the bread of tribulation seven days long. For thou camest out of the land of Egypt in haste, that thou mayest remember the day when thou camest out of the land of Egypt, all days of thy life. ⁴ And see that there be no leavened bread seen in all thy coasts seven days long, and that there remain nothing of the flesh which thou hast offered the first day at evening, until the morning. ⁵ Thou mayest not offer Passover in any of thy cities which the LORD thy God giveth thee: ⁶ But in the place which the LORD thy God shall choose to make his name dwell in, there thou shalt offer Passover at evening about the going down of the sun, even in the season that thou camest out of Egypt. ⁷ And thou shalt seethe and eat it in the place which the LORD thy God hath chosen, and depart on the morrow and get thee unto thy tent. ⁸ Six days thou shalt eat sweet bread, and the seventh day is for the people to come together to the LORD thy God, that thou mayest do no work.

¹ W hy did the heathen rage and the people imagine vain things? ² The kings of the earth stood up and the rulers came together against the LORD, and against his Christ. ³ Let us break their bonds asunder, and cast away their cords from us. ⁴ He that dwelleth in heaven shall laugh them to scorn: the Lord shall have them in derision. ⁵ Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure,

³ Thou lovest ungraciousness more than good, to talk of lies more than righteousness. Selah.

⁴ Their device is only how to put him out, whom God will exalt; their delight is in lies. They give good words with their mouth, but curse with their heart. Selah.

⁹ As for men they are but vanity; the children of men are deceitful. Upon the weights they are altogether lighter than vanity itself.

² Hide me from the gathering together of the froward, and from the insurrection of wicked doers, ³ who have whet their tongue like a sword, and shoot out their arrows, even bitter words, ⁴ That they may privily hurt the innocent, and suddenly hit him without any fear. ⁵ They have devised mischief, and communed among themselves how they may lay snares. "Tush," say they, "Who shall see them?" ⁶ They imagine wickedness, and keep it secret among themselves; every man in the deep of his heart.

² Whensoever therefore thou givest thine alms, thou shalt not make a trumpet to be blown before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues, and in the streets, for to be praised of men. Verily I say unto you, they have their reward.

¹⁴ Then the Pharisees went out, and held a council against him, how they might destroy him.

² "Ye know that after two days shall be Easter, and the son of man shall be delivered to be crucified." ³ Then assembled together the chief priests and the scribes and the elders of the people into the palace of the high priest, called Caiaphas: ⁴ and held a counsel, how they might take Jesus by subtlety, and kill him. ⁵ But they said, "Not on the holy day, lest any uproar arise among the people."

¹ The feast of sweet bread drew nigh, which is called Easter, ² and the high priests, and scribes sought how to kill him, but they feared the people.

⁴⁷ Then gathered the high priests and the Pharisees a council and said, "What do we? This man doeth many miracles.

⁵³ From that day forth they held a counsel together for to put him to death. ⁵⁴ Jesus therefore walked no more openly among the Jews: but went his way thence unto a country nigh to a wilderness into a city called Ephraim, and there haunted with his disciples. ⁵⁵ And the Jews' Easter was nigh at hand, and many went out of the country up to Jerusalem before the Easter to purify themselves. ⁵⁶ Then sought they for Jesus, and spake between themselves, as they stood in the temple, "What think ye, seeing he cometh not to the feast?" ⁵⁷ The high priests and Pharisees had given a commandment that if any man knew where he were, he should show it that they might take him.

¹ Before the feast of Easter, when Jesus knew that his hour was come, that he should depart out of this world unto the father; When he loved his which were in the world, unto the end he loved them;

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

²¹ There are many devices in a man's heart; nevertheless the counsel of the LORD shall stand.

³⁰ There is no wisdom, there is no understanding, there is no counsel against the LORD.

²⁷ O how good is it, for a man, to take the yoke upon him from his youth up?

⁵ But they said, "Not on the holy day, lest any uproar arise among the people."

¹⁸ And the scribes and high priests heard it and sought how to destroy him. For they feared him, because all the people marveled at his doctrine.

³² But if we shall say, 'Of men,' then fear we the people. For all men counted John, that he was a very prophet."

⁶ But and if we shall say, 'Of men,' all the people will stone us. For they surely be persuaded that John is a prophet."

⁴⁰ Many of the people, when they heard this saying said, "Of a truth, this is a Prophet."

¹⁹ The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, "Perceive ye, how we prevail nothing? Behold, all the whole world goeth away after him."

¹³ The fruits that sprout in thee are like a very Paradise of pomegranates with sweet fruits: ¹⁴ as Cypress, Nardus, Saffron, Calamus, and all the trees of Lebanon: Myrrh, Aloes, and all the best spices.

⁵ so that I stood up to open unto my beloved. My hands dropped with Myrrh, and the Myrrh ran down my fingers upon the lock.

¹⁷ And he left them, and went out of the city unto Bethany, and had his abiding there.

⁶ When Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper, ⁷ there came unto him a woman, which had an alabaster box of precious ointment, and poured it on his head, as he sat at the board. ⁸ When his disciples saw that, they had indignation saying, "What needed this waste? ⁹ This ointment might have been well sold, and given to the poor." ¹⁰ When Jesus understood that, he said unto them, "Why trouble ye the woman? She hath wrought a good work upon me. ¹¹ For ye shall have poor folk always with you: but me shall ye not have always. ¹² And in that she casted this ointment on my body, she did it to bury me, withal. ¹³ Verily I say unto you, wheresoever this gospel shall be preached throughout all the world, there shall also this that she hath done, be told for a memorial of her."

³⁷ And behold a woman in that city, which was a sinner, as soon as she knew that Jesus sat at meat in the Pharisee's house, she brought an alabaster box of ointment, ³⁸ and she stood at his feet behind him weeping, and began to wash his feet with tears, and did wipe them with the hairs of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with ointment. ³⁹ When the Pharisee which bade him to his house, saw that, he spake within himself, saying, "If this man were a prophet, he would surely have known who and what manner woman this is which toucheth him, for she is a sinner."

² It was that Mary which anointed Jesus with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick,

¹ Then Jesus, six days before Easter, came to Bethany: where Lazarus which was dead was, whom Jesus raised from death. ² There they made him a supper, and Martha served: but Lazarus was one of them that sat at the table with him. ³ Then took Mary a pound of ointment called nard, perfect and precious, and anointed Jesus' feet, and wiped his feet with her hair, and all the house was filled of the savour of the ointment. ⁴ Then said one of his disciples named Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, which afterward betrayed him, ⁵ "Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence, and given to the poor?" ⁶ This said he, not that he cared for the poor: but because he was a thief, and kept the bag, and bare that which was given. ⁷ Then said Jesus, "Let her alone, against the day of my burying she kept it. ⁸ The poor always shall ye have with you, but me shall ye not always have."

⁴ Again, I saw that all travail and diligence of labour was hated of every man. This is also a vain thing, and a vexation of mind.

⁴ If thou make a vow unto God, be not slack to perform it. As for foolish vows, he hath no pleasure in them. ⁵ If thou promise anything, pay it; for better it is that thou make no vow than that thou shouldest promise, and not pay. ⁶ Suffer not thy mouth to cause thy flesh for to sin, neither say thou before the angel that it is thy ignorance. For then God will be angry at thy voice, and destroy all the works of thine hands. ⁷ And why? Whereas are many dreams and many words, there are also divers vanities: but look that thou fear God. ⁸ If thou seest the poor to be oppressed and wrongfully dealt withal, so that equity and the right of the law is wrested in the land: marvel not thou at such judgment, for one great man keepeth touch with another, and the mighty help themselves together.

¹² But ye have unhallowed it, in that ye say, 'The altar of the LORD is not to be regarded, and the thing that is set thereupon, not worthy to be eaten.' ¹³ Now say ye, 'It is but labour and travail,' and thus have ye thought scorn at it, sayeth the LORD of Hosts; offering robbery, yea the lame and the sick. Ye have brought me in a meat offering? Should I accept it of your hand? sayeth the LORD.

⁸ When his disciples saw that, they had indignation saying, "What needed this waste? ⁹ This ointment might have been well sold, and given to the poor."

⁴ Then said one of his disciples named Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, which afterward betrayed him, ⁵ "Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence, and given to the poor?"

⁷ and in the morning ye shall see the glory of the LORD: because he hath heard your grudgings against the LORD — for what are we that ye should murmur against us?" ⁸ And moreover spake Moses, "At evening the LORD will give you flesh to eat, and in the morning bread enough, because the LORD hath heard your murmur which ye murmur against him: for what are we? Your murmuring is not against us, but against the LORD."

²⁷ and murmured in your tents and said, 'Because the LORD hateth us, therefore he hath brought us out of the land of Egypt, to deliver us into the hands of the Amorites and to destroy us.

²⁵ but murmured in their tents, and hearkened not unto the voice of the LORD.

²⁸ And the said servant went out and found one of his fellows, which owed him a hundred pence. And laid hands on him, and took him by the throat, saying, 'Pay me that thou owest.'

¹¹ And when they had received it, they murmured against the good man of the house, saying,

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

⁷ Philip answered him, "Two hundred pennyworth of bread are not sufficient for them, that every man have a little."

⁴³ Jesus answered and said unto them, "Murmur not between yourselves.

⁵ "Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence, and given to the poor?" ⁶ This said he, not that he cared for the poor: but because he was a thief, and kept the bag, and bare that which was given.

²⁹ Some of them thought, because Judas had the bag, that Jesus had said unto him, "Buy those things that we have need of against the feast," or that he should give something to the poor.

¹⁰ Neither murmur ye as some of them murmured, and were destroyed of the destroyer.

²⁸ Let him that stole, steal no more; but let him rather labour with his hands some good thing, that he may have to give unto him that needeth.

¹⁴ Do all things without murmuring and disputing,

¹⁶ These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lusts, whose mouths speak proud things. They have men in great reverence because of advantage.

⁷ Now when the LORD had spoken these words unto Job, he said unto Eliphaz the Temanite, "I am displeased with thee and thy two friends, for ye have not spoken the thing that is right before me, like as my servant Job hath done. ⁸ Therefore take seven oxen and seven rams, and go to my servant Job, offer up also for yourselves a burnt offering: and let my servant Job pray for you. Him will I accept, and not deal with you after your foolishness: in that ye have not spoken the thing which is right, like as my servant Job hath done."

¹⁷ but all the weapons that are made against thee, shall not prosper. And as for all tongues that shall resist thee in judgment, thou shalt overcome them, and condemn them. This is the heritage of the LORD's servants, and the righteousness that they shall have of me, sayeth the LORD.

¹⁰ When Jesus understood that, he said unto them, "Why trouble ye the woman? She hath wrought a good work upon me.

³² Jesus answered them, "Many good works have I showed you from my father: for which of them will ye stone me?" ³³ The Jews answered him saying, "For thy good works' sake we stone thee not: but for thy blasphemy, and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God."

³⁶ There was at Joppa a certain woman, which was a disciple named Tabitha, which by interpretation is called Dorcas: the same was full of good works and alms deeds, which she did.

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,

¹⁸ For he that praiseth himself, is not allowed: but he whom the Lord praiseth.

¹⁰ For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, unto the which God ordained us before, that we should walk in them.

¹⁰ that ye might walk worthy of the Lord in all things that please, being fruitful in all good works and increasing in the knowledge of God

¹⁷ comfort your hearts, and establish you in all doctrine and good doing.

¹⁰ and well reported of in good works: if she have nourished children, if she have been liberal to strangers, if she have washed the saints' feet, if she have ministered unto them which were in adversity, if she were continually given unto all manner good works.

¹⁸ and that they do good and be rich in good works, and ready to give and to distribute,

²¹ But if a man purge himself from such fellows, he shall be a vessel sanctified unto honour meet for the Lord, and prepared unto all good works.

¹⁷ that the man of God may be perfect, and prepared unto all good works.

⁷ Above all things, show thyself an example of good works with uncorrupt doctrine, with honesty,

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 This is a true saying. Of these things I would thou shouldest certify, that they which believe God, might be diligent to go forward in good works. These things are good and profitable unto men.

¹⁴ And let ours also learn to excel in good works as far forth as need requireth, that they be not unfruitful.

²⁴ and let us consider one another to provoke unto love, and to good works:

²¹ make you perfect in all good works, to do his will, working in you that which is pleasant in his sight through Iesus Christ: To whom be praise for ever while the world endureth. Amen.

¹² and see that ye have honest conversation among the gentiles, that they which backbite you as evil doers, may see your good works and praise God in the day of visitation.

¹¹ For the land shall never be without poor. Wherefore I command thee, saying, 'Open thine hand unto thy brother that is needy and poor in thy land.'

³⁵ For I was a hungered, and ye gave me meat. I thirsted, and ye gave me drink. I was harborless, and ye lodged me. I was naked and ye clothed me. ³⁶ I was sick and ye visited me. I was in prison and ye came unto me.' ³⁷ Then shall the righteous answer him saying, 'Master, when saw we thee a hungered, and fed thee? Or athirst, and gave thee drink? ³⁸ When saw we thee harborless, and lodged thee? Or naked and clothed thee? ³⁹ Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison and came unto thee?' ⁴⁰ And the King shall answer and say unto them, 'Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it to me.' ⁴¹ Then shall the King say unto them that shall be on the left hand, 'Depart from me ye cursed, into everlasting fire, which is prepared for the devil and his angels. ⁴² For I was a hungered, and ye gave me no meat. I thirsted, and ye gave me no drink. I was harborless, and ye lodged me not. ⁴³ I was naked, and ye clothed me not. I was sick and in prison, and ye visited me not.' ⁴⁴ Then shall they also answer him, saying, 'Master, when saw we thee a hungered, or athirst, or harborless, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and have not ministered unto thee?' ⁴⁵ Then shall he answer them, and say, 'Verily I say unto you, inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.'

¹¹ For ye shall have poor folk always with you: but me shall ye not have always.

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 But now go I my way to him that sent me, and none of you asketh me, 'Whither goest thou?'

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

¹¹ And now am I no more in the world, but they are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy father, keep in thine own name them which thou hast given me, that they may be one as we are.

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

¹³ which praise God for the obedience of your professing the gospel of Christ, and for your singleness, in distributing to them, and to all men. ¹⁴ And in their prayers to God for you, long after you, for the abundant grace of God given unto you.

⁷ And we have great joy and consolation over thy love: For by thee, brother, the saints' hearts are comforted.

¹⁴ What availeth it, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, when he hath no deeds? Can faith save him? ¹⁵ If a brother or a sister be naked or destitute of daily food, ¹⁶ and one of you say unto them, "Depart in peace, God send you warmness and food," notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body: what helpeth it them?

¹⁶ Hereby are we assured of love: because he left his life for us: And therefore we ought also to give our lives for our brethren. ¹⁷ He, then, that hath the substance of the world, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his compassion from him: how dwelleth the love of God in him? ¹⁸ My little children, let us not love in word, nor with the tongue: but with the deed, and of a truth: ¹⁹ for thereby we know that we be of the truth, and so shall we certify our hearts in his sight.

² And king David stood upon his feet and said, "Hear me, my brethren and my people: I had in mine heart to build a house of rest for the Ark of the Covenant of the LORD, and a footstool for our God, and had made ready to build. ³ But God said to me, 'Thou shalt not build a house for my name, because thou art a man of war and hast shed blood.'

¹ And David the king said unto all the congregation, "God hath specially chosen Solomon my son which is yet young and tender, and the work is great, for the house is not for man, but for the LORD God. ² Moreover, I have prepared with all my might for the house of God: gold for things of gold, and silver for things of silver, brass for things of brass, iron for things of iron, and wood for things of wood: and onyx stones, set stones, and of other gay stones, and all manner of precious stones, and of marble great abundance. ³ And yet because I have lust to the house of my God, I have several gold and silver which I give to the house of my God above all I have prepared for the holy house: ⁴ even three thousand talents of gold of Ophir, and seven thousand talents of silver tried: ⁵ to sile the walls of the house with gold where it becometh, and with silver where silver is meet, and for all manner of work by the hands of Artificers. And let me see who is willing also, to fill his hand for the LORD this day." ⁶ And the ancient lords and the lords of the tribes of Israel, and the captains of thousands and hundreds and the lords over the substance of the king, were willing ⁷ and gave for the service of the house of God, five thousand talents of gold and ten thousand pieces of gold coins, and ten thousand talents of silver, and eighteen thousand talents of brass, and a hundred thousand talents of iron. ⁸ And they that had precious stones gave them for the treasure of the house of the LORD, unto the hand of Jehiel the Gershonite. ⁹ And the people rejoiced that they were so willing: for with a pure heart they were willing unto the LORD. And thereto David the king rejoiced with great gladness. ¹⁰ And David blessed the LORD before all the congregation and said, "Blessed art thou LORD God of Israel our father, from ever and for ever. ¹¹ Thine, O LORD, is the greatness, power and glory, victory and praise: for all that is in heaven and in earth is thine, and thine is the kingdom, O LORD, and thou art lifted up a head above all. ¹² And riches and honour come of thee, and thou reignest over all, and in thine hand is power and strength, and in thine hand it is to make great and to give strength unto all. ¹³ And now our God, we thank thee, and praise thy glorious name. For what am I? And what is my people, that would obtain strength to be so willing? ¹⁴ But all is of thee, and of that we received of thine hand we have given thee. ¹⁵ For we be but strangers before thee and tenants, as were all our fathers. Our days on the earth is but a shadow, and there is none abiding. ¹⁶ O LORD our God, all this heap that we have prepared to build thee a house for thy holy name, cometh of thine hand, and is all thine. ¹⁷ I know my God, that thou provest the heart and hast pleasure in plainness. And in plainness of mine heart I have willingly given all this. And now I see thy people, which are here in gladness to offer willingly to thee.

²⁰ And of this manner did Hezekiah, throughout all Judah; and did that was good, right and truth, before the LORD his God. ²¹ And in all the works that he began in the service of the house of God, to seek his God after the law and commandment, that did he with all his heart, and prospered.

¹⁹ And when the king had heard the words of the law, he tare his clothes, ²⁰ and commanded Hilkiah, and Ahikam the son of Shaphan, and Abdon the son of Micah, and the said Shaphan the scribe, and Asaiah, a servant of the king's, saying, ²¹ "Go and enquire of the LORD for me and for them that are left in Israel and Judah concerning the words of the book that is found. For great is the wrath of the LORD that is fallen upon us, because our fathers kept not the word of the LORD, to do after all that is written in this book." ²² And Hilkiah, with them that pertained to the king, went to Huldah, a prophetess, wife of Shallum the son of Tokhath the son of Hasrah, keeper of the wardrobe - which prophetess dwelt in Jerusalem in the second ward - and they communed so with her. ²³ And she said unto them, "Thus sayeth the LORD God of Israel: 'Tell ye the man that sent you to me, ²⁴ even thus sayeth the LORD: See, I will bring evil upon this place and upon the inhabiters thereof, even all the curses that are written in the book which they have read before the king of Judah, ²⁵ because they have forsaken me and have offered unto other gods to anger me with all manner works of their hands, therefore is my wrath set on fire against this place and shall not be quenched. ²⁶ And as for the king of Judah, which sent you to enquire of the LORD, so shall ye say unto him: Thus sayeth the LORD God of Israel concerning the words which thou hast heard: ²⁷ Because thine heart did melt and thou didst meek thyself before God, when thou heardest his words against this place and against the inhabiters thereof, and humblest thyself before me, and tarest thy clothes and weepest before me, that have I heard also, sayeth the LORD. ²⁸ Behold, I will take thee to thy fathers and thou shalt be put in thy grave in peace, and thine eyes shall not see all the mischief that I will bring upon this place and upon the inhabiters of the same.'" And they brought the king word again. ²⁹ Then the king sent and gathered together all the elders of Judah and Jerusalem. ³⁰ And the king went up into the house of the LORD, and all the men of Judah and the inhabiters of Jerusalem and the Priests and Levites and all the people great and small: and read all the words of the book of the covenant that was found in the house of the LORD. ³¹ And the king stood at his standing and made a covenant before the LORD, to follow the LORD and to keep his commandments, his witnesses and his statutes with all his heart and with all his soul and to fulfill the words of the covenant written in the said book. ³² And he made to come forth all that were found in Jerusalem and Benjamin, and the inhabiters of Jerusalem promised to keep the covenant of the God which was the God of their fathers. ³³ And Josiah put away all manner of abominations out of all lands that pertained to the children of Israel, and brought all that were found in Israel, to serve the LORD their God. And they turned not aside from after the LORD God of their fathers as long as he lived.

³ In the day of thy power shall thy people offer thee free-will offerings with a holy worship; the dew of thy birth is of the womb of the morning.

⁴² And now when night was come, because it was the even that goeth before the Sabbath,

⁵³ And took it down, and wrapped it in a linen cloth, and laid it in a hewn tomb, wherein was never man before laid.

⁷ Then said Jesus, "Let her alone, against the day of my burying she kept it.

³² Then came the soldiers and brake the legs of the first, and of the other which was crucified with Jesus. ³³ But when they came to Jesus and saw that he was dead already, they brake not his legs: ³⁴ but one of the soldiers with a spear, thrust him into the side, and forthwith came there out blood and water. ³⁵ And he that saw it bare record, and his record is true. And he knoweth that he saith true that ye might believe also. ³⁶ These things were done that the scripture should be fulfilled, 'Ye shall not break a bone of him.' ³⁷ And again another scripture saith, 'They shall look on him, whom they pierced.' ³⁸ After that, Joseph of Arimathaea, which was a disciple of Jesus — but secretly for fear of the Jews — besought Pilate that he might take down the body of Jesus. And Pilate gave him license. ³⁹ And there came also Nicodemus which at the beginning came to Jesus by night, and brought of myrrh and aloes mingled together about a hundred pound weight. ⁴⁰ Then took they the body of Jesus and wound it in linen clothes with the odors as the manner of the Jews is to bury. ⁴¹ And in the place where Jesus was crucified, was a garden: and in the garden a new sepulchre, wherein was never man laid. ⁴² There laid they Jesus because of the Jews' Sabbath even, for the sepulchre was nigh at hand.

¹ I do you to wit, brethren, of the grace of God, which is given in the congregations of Macedonia: ² how that the abundance of their rejoicing is, that they are tried with much tribulation. And thereto, though they were exceeding poor, yet have they given exceeding richly, and that in singleness. ³ For to their powers — I bear them record — yea and beyond their power, they were willing of their own accord,

¹² For if there be first a willing mind, it is accepted according to that a man hath, and not according to that he hath not.

⁵⁴ And Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold of the captains over the thousands and over the hundreds, and brought it into the tabernacle of witness: to be a memorial unto the children of Israel, before the LORD.

⁶ For he shall never be moved, and the righteous shall be had in an everlasting remembrance. ⁷ He will not be afraid of any evil tidings, for his heart standeth fast, and believeth in the LORD. ⁸ His heart is stablished, and will not shrink, until he sees his desire upon his enemies. ⁹ He hath dispersed abroad, and given to the poor, his righteousness remaineth for ever; his horn shall be exalted with honor.

¹⁴ And the crowns shall be in the temple of the LORD, for a remembrance unto Heldai, Tobijah and Jedaiah and Hen the son of Zephaniah. And such as be far off, shall come and build the temple of the LORD,

¹⁴ And this glad tidings of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world, for a witness unto all nations, and then shall the end come.

¹⁵ And he said unto them, "Go ye into all the world, and preach the glad tidings to all creatures:

⁹ Yea, even mine own familiar friend, whom I trusted, who did also eat my bread, hath lift up his heel against me.

¹² If it were mine enemy that reviled me, I could bear it: or if one that ought me evil will did threaten me, I would hide myself from him. ¹³ But it was even thou, my companion, my guide, and mine own familiar friend. ¹⁴ We took sweet counsel together, and walked in the house of God as friends.

⁴ Simon of Canaan, and Judas Iscariot, which also betrayed him.

¹⁴ Then one of the twelve, called Judas Iscariot, went unto the chief priests, ¹⁵ and said, "What will ye give me, and I will deliver him unto you?" And they appointed unto him thirty pieces of silver. ¹⁶ And from that time he sought opportunity to betray him.

¹⁹ and Judas Iscariot, which same also betrayed him.

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

⁷⁰ Jesus answered them, "Have not I chosen you twelve? And yet one of you is the devil?" ⁷¹ He spake it of Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon. For he it was that should betray him, and was one of the twelve.

² And when supper was ended, after that, the devil had put in the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray him.

³⁰ As soon then as he had received the sop, he went immediately out. And it was night.

²⁰ And Ahab said to Elijah, "Hast thou found me thine enemy at any time?" And he said, "Yea, because thou art utterly given to work wickedness in the sight of the LORD.

²⁶ And he said, "Went not mine heart with thee, when the man turned and came of his chariot against thee? Is it a time to receive silver and to receive garments, olive trees, vineyards, oxen, sheep, menservants and maidservants?

¹⁰ My son, consent not unto sinners, ¹¹ if they entice thee, and say, "Come with us, let us lay wait for blood, and lurk privily for the innocent without a cause: ¹² Let us swallow them up like the hell, let us devour them quick and whole, as those that go down into the pit. ¹³ So shall we find all manner of costly riches, and fill our houses with spoils. ¹⁴ Cast in thy lot among us, we shall have all one purse." ¹⁵ My son, walk not thou with them, refrain thy foot from their ways. ¹⁶ For their feet run to evil, and are hasty to shed blood.

²¹ To have respect of persons in judgment is not good: And why? He will do wrong; yea, even for a piece of bread. ²² He that will be rich all too soon, hath an evil eye; and considereth not that poverty shall come upon him.

³ They make the king and the princes, to have pleasure in their wickedness and lies.

¹⁵ and said, "What will ye give me, and I will deliver him unto you?" And they appointed unto him thirty pieces of silver.

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.

¹⁴ having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease to sin, beguiling unstable souls. Hearts they have exercised with covetousness. They are cursed children, ¹⁵ and have forsaken the right way, and are gone astray following the way of Balaam the son of Beor, which loved the reward of unrighteousness:

¹¹ Woe be unto them, for they have followed the way of Cain, and are utterly given to the error of Balaam for lucre's sake, and are cast away in the treason of Korah.

⁶ And ye shall keep him inward, until the fourteenth day of the same month. And every man of the multitude of Israel shall kill him about even.

⁸ And they shall eat the flesh the same night, roast with fire, and with unleavened bread, and with sour herbs they shall eat it.

¹⁸ The first month and the fourteenth day of the month at even, ye shall eat sweet bread unto the twenty-first day of the month at even again.

³ And Moses said unto the people, "Think on this day in which ye came out of Egypt and out of the house of bondage: for with a mighty hand the LORD brought you out from thence. See therefore that ye eat no leavened bread.

⁵ The fourteenth day of the first month at evening is the LORD's Passover. ⁶ And the fifteenth day of the same month is the feast of sweet bread unto the LORD; seven days ye must eat unleavened bread.

¹⁶ And the fourteenth day of the first month shall be Passover unto the LORD. ¹⁷ And the fifteenth day of the same month shall be a feast, in which seven days men must eat unleavened bread. ¹⁸ The first day shall be a holy feast, so that ye shall do no manner of laborious work therein.

¹ Observe the month of Abib, and offer Passover unto the LORD thy God. For in the month of Abib, the LORD thy God brought thee out of Egypt by night: ² Thou shalt therefore offer Passover unto the LORD thy God, and sheep and oxen in the place which the LORD shall choose to make his name dwell there. ³ Thou shalt eat no leavened bread therewith: but shalt eat therewith the bread of tribulation seven days long. For thou camest out of the land of Egypt in haste, that thou mayest remember the day when thou camest out of the land of Egypt, all days of thy life. ⁴ And see that there be no leavened bread seen in all thy coasts seven days long, and that there remain nothing of the flesh which thou hast offered the first day at evening, until the morning.

¹⁵ Jesus answered and said to him, "Let it be so now, for thus it becometh us to fulfill all righteousness." Then he suffered him.

¹⁷ The first day of unleavened bread, the disciples came to Jesus saying unto him, "Where wilt thou that we prepare for thee to eat the paschal lamb?" ¹⁸ And he said, "Go into the city, unto such a man, and say to him, The master saith, my time is almost at hand: I will keep mine Easter at thy house with my disciples." ¹⁹ And the disciples did as Jesus had appointed them, and made ready the Easter lamb.

⁷ Then came the day of sweet bread, when of necessity the Easter lamb must be offered. ⁸ And he sent Peter and John, saying, "Go and prepare us the Easter lamb, that we may eat." ⁹ They said to him, "Where wilt thou, that we prepare?" ¹⁰ And he said unto them, "Behold, when ye be entered into the city, there shall a man meet you bearing a pitcher of water, him follow into the same house that he entereth in, ¹¹ and ye shall say unto the good man of the house, 'The master sayeth unto thee, Where is the guest chamber where I shall eat mine Easter lamb with my disciples?' ¹² And he shall show you a great parlour paved. There make ready." ¹³ And they went and found, as he had said unto them: and made ready the Easter lamb.

⁷ Purge therefore the old leaven, that ye may be new dough, as ye are sweet bread. For Christ our Easter lamb is offered up for us. ⁸ Therefore let us keep holiday, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of maliciousness and wickedness — but with the sweet bread of pureness and truth.

⁴ But when the time was full come, God sent his son — born of a woman, and made bond unto the law -

⁹ For I also myself am a man under power, and have soldiers under me: and I say to one, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it."

² and said unto them, "Go your ways into the town that is over against you. And as soon as ye be entered into it, ye shall find a colt bound, whereon never man sat: loose him and bring him hither. ³ And if any man say unto you, 'Why do ye so?' say that the Lord hath need of him: and straightway he will send him hither."

³⁰ saying, "Go ye in to the town which is over against you. In the which as soon as ye are come, ye shall find a colt tied, whereon yet never man sat. Loose him and bring him hither. ³¹ And if any man ask you, why that ye loose him: thus say unto him, 'The Lord hath need of him.'" ³² They that were sent went their way, and found, even as he had said unto them. ³³ And as they were a loosing the colt, the owners said unto them, "Why loose ye the colt?"

⁵ His mother said unto the ministers, "Whatsoever he sayeth unto you, do it."

¹⁴ Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.

¹³ Neither is there any creature invisible in the sight of it. For all things are naked and bare unto the eyes of him, of whom we speak.

⁹ and was made perfect, and the cause of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him:

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?"

³ And if any man say unto you, 'Why do ye so?' say that the Lord hath need of him: and straightway he will send him hither."

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."

¹³ Ye call me 'Master' and 'Lord,' and ye say well, for so am I.

²⁰ Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If any man hear my voice and open the door, I will come in unto him and will sup with him, and he with me.

³⁰ thou shalt hear from heaven thy dwelling place, and shalt be merciful, and give every man according unto all his way, even as thou shalt know every man's heart: for thou only knowest the hearts of the children of Adam:

¹ A man may well purpose a thing in his heart; but the answer of the tongue cometh of the LORD.

¹ The king's heart is in the hand of the LORD, like as are the rivers of water; he may turn it whithersoever he will. ² Every man thinketh his own way to be right; but the LORD judgeth the hearts.

²⁴ but Jesus put not himself in their hands, because he knew all men, ²⁵ and needed not that any man should testify of him. For he knew what was in man.

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.

¹³ And when they were come in, they went up into a parlour, where abode both Peter and James, John and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James the son of Alpheus, and Simon Zealotes, and Judas James' son.

⁸ And there were many lights in the chamber where they were gathered together,

¹⁹ But the sure ground of God remaineth, and hath this seal: the Lord knoweth them that are his, and let every man that calleth on the name of Christ, depart from iniquity.

¹³ And they went and found, as he had said unto them: and made ready the Easter lamb.

³⁵ And he said unto them, "When I sent you without wallet, and scrip, and shoes, lacked ye anything?" And they said, "No."

⁴ But these things have I told you: that when that hour is come, ye might remember then, that I told you so. These things said I not unto you at the beginning, because I was present with you.

²⁰ When the even was come, he sat down with the twelve. ²¹ And as they did eat, he said, "Verily I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me." ²² And they were exceeding sorrowful, and began every one of them to say unto him, "Is it I, master?" ²³ He answered and said, "He that dippeth his hand with me in the dish, the same shall betray me. ²⁴ The son of man goeth as it is written of him: but woe be to that man, by whom the son of man shall be betrayed. It had been good for that man, if he had never been born."

¹⁴ And when the hour was come, he sat down: and the twelve apostles with him.

²¹ "Yet behold, the hand of him that betrayeth me, is with me on the table. ²² And the son of man goeth as it is appointed: But woe be to that man by whom he is betrayed." ²³ And they began to enquire among themselves, which of them it should be, that should do that.

²¹ When Jesus had thus said, he was troubled in the spirit, and testified saying, "Verily, verily I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me." ²² And then the disciples looked one on another, doubting of whom he spake. ²³ There was one of his disciples which leaned on Jesus' bosom, whom Jesus loved. ²⁴ To him beckoned Simon Peter that he should ask who it was of whom he spake. ²⁵ He then, as he leaned on Jesus' breast, said unto him, "Lord who is it?" ²⁶ Jesus answered, "He it is to whom I give a sop, when I have dipped it." And he wet a sop, and gave it to Judas Iscariot, Simon's son.

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.

⁵ And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to stand and pray in the synagogues, and in the corners of the streets, because they would be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, they have their reward.

¹⁶ "Moreover, when ye fast, be not sad as the hypocrites are: for they disfigure their faces, that they might be seen of men how they fast. Verily I say unto you, they have their reward.

²¹ And as they did eat, he said, "Verily I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me."

²⁸ Verily I say unto you, All sins shall be forgiven unto men's children: and blasphemy, wherewith they blaspheme:

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

¹² and he sighed in his spirit and said, "Why doth this generation seek a sign? Verily I say unto you, there shall no sign be given unto this generation."

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

⁴¹ "And whosoever shall give you a cup of water to drink for my name's sake because ye are belonging to Christ, verily I say unto you, he shall not lose his reward.

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

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,

⁹ Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached throughout the whole world, this also that she hath done shall be rehearsed in remembrance of her."

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

²⁴ And he said, "Verily I say unto you, No prophet is accepted in his own country.

⁵¹ from the blood of Abel unto the blood of Zacharias, which perished between the altar and the temple. Verily I say unto you, It shall be required of this nation.

⁵¹ And he said unto him, "Verily, verily, I say unto you, Hereafter shall ye see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending, and descending over the son of man."

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."

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.

¹¹ Verily, verily I say unto thee, we speak that we know, and testify that we have seen: And ye receive not our witness.

¹⁹ Then answered Jesus and said unto them, "Verily, verily, I say unto you, The son can do no thing of himself: but that he seeth the father do. For whatsoever he doeth, that doeth the son also.

²⁴ Verily, verily I say unto you, He that heareth my words, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life: and shall not come into damnation, but is escaped from death unto life. ²⁵ Verily, verily I say unto you, the time shall come, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the son of God. And they that hear, shall live.

²⁶ Jesus answered them and said, "Verily, verily I say unto you, Ye seek me, not because ye saw the miracles: but because ye ate of the loaves, and were filled.

³² Jesus said unto them, "Verily, verily I say unto you, Moses gave you bread from heaven: but my father giveth you the true bread from heaven.

⁴⁷ Verily, verily I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life.

⁷⁰ Jesus answered them, "Have not I chosen you twelve? And yet one of you is the devil?"

²¹ When Jesus had thus said, he was troubled in the spirit, and testified saying, "Verily, verily I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me."

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

¹⁸ Verily, verily I say unto thee, when thou wast young, thou girdedst thyself, and walkedst whither thou wouldest: but when thou art old, thou shalt stretch forth thy hands, and another shall gird thee, and lead thee whither thou wouldest not."

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

²² And then the disciples looked one on another, doubting of whom he spake.

²³ He answered and said, "He that dippeth his hand with me in the dish, the same shall betray me.

⁴⁷ While he yet spake, Lo, Judas, one of the twelve, came: and with him a great multitude with swords and staves, which were sent from the chief priests and elders of the people.

⁴³ And immediately, while he yet spake, came Judas, one of the twelve, and with him a great number of people with swords and staves from the high priests and scribes and elders.

⁴⁷ While he yet spake: behold, there came a company: and he that was called Judas, one of the twelve, went before them, and pressed nigh unto Jesus to kiss him.

⁷¹ He spake it of Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon. For he it was that should betray him, and was one of the twelve.

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

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

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

¹⁵ Let death come hastily upon them, and let them go down quick into hell; for wickedness is among them in their dwellings.

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

⁶ Set an ungodly man to be ruler over him, and let Satan stand at his righthand. ⁷ When sentence is given upon him, let him be condemned; and let his prayer be turned into sin. ⁸ Let his days be few, and his bishoprick let another take. ⁹ Let his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow. ¹⁰ Let his children be vagabonds, and beg their bread; let them seek it also out of desolate places. ¹¹ Let the extortioner consume all that he hath; and let stranger spoil his labour. ¹² Let there be no man to pity him, nor to have compassion on his fatherless children. ¹³ Let his posterity be destroyed; and in the next generation let his name be clean put out. ¹⁴ Let the wickedness of his fathers be had in remembrance in the sight of LORD; and let not the sin of his mother be done away. ¹⁵ Let them be always before the LORD, that he may root out the memorial of them from off the earth; ¹⁶ and that, because his mind was not to do good, but persecuted the poor helpless, and him that was vexed at the heart, to slay him. ¹⁷ His delight was in cursing, and therefore shall it happen unto him; he loved not blessing, therefore shall it be far from him. ¹⁸ He clothed himself with cursing like as with a raiment: yea it went into his bowels like water, and like oil into his bones. ¹⁹ Let it be unto him as the cloak that he hath on him, and as the girdle that he is girded withal. ²⁰ Let it thus happen from the LORD unto mine enemies, and to those that speak evil against my soul.

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

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

²⁴ Seventy weeks are determined over thy people, and over the holy city: that the wickedness may be consumed, that the sin may have an end, that the offense may be reconciled, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, to fulfill the visions and the Prophets, and to anoint the most holy one.

²⁶ After these sixty two weeks, shall Christ be slain, and they shall have no pleasure in him. Then shall there come a people with the prince, and destroy the city and the Sanctuary: and his end shall come as the water flood. But the desolation shall continue till the end of the battle.

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

⁶ But whosoever offend one of these little ones, which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea. ⁷ Woe be unto the world because of evil offenses! Howbeit, it cannot be avoided but that offenses shall be given. Nevertheless, woe be to the man, by whom the offense cometh.

²⁴ The son of man goeth as it is written of him: but woe be to that man, by whom the son of man shall be betrayed. It had been good for that man, if he had never been born." ²⁵ Then Judas, which betrayed him, answered and said, "Is it I, master?" He said unto him, "Thou hast said."

⁵⁴ But how then should the scriptures be fulfilled? For so must it be."

⁵⁶ All this was done that the scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled." Then all the disciples forsook him and fled.

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, ⁴ saying, "I have sinned, betraying the innocent blood." And they said, "What is that to us? see thou to that." ⁵ And he cast down the silver plates in the temple, and departed, and went and hung himself.

⁴⁹ I was daily with you in the temple, teaching, and ye took me not: but that the scriptures should be fulfilled."

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

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

⁴⁴ And he said unto them, "These are the words, which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you: that all must be fulfilled which were written of me in the law of Moses, and in the Prophets, and in the Psalms."

²⁸ After that, when Jesus perceived that all things were performed, that the scripture might be fulfilled, he said, "I thirst."

³⁶ These things were done that the scripture should be fulfilled, 'Ye shall not break a bone of him.' ³⁷ And again another scripture saith, 'They shall look on him, whom they pierced.'

¹⁶ "Ye men and brethren, this scripture must have needs been fulfilled which the holy ghost, through the mouth of David, spake before of Judas, which was guide to them that took Jesus: ¹⁷ For he was now numbered with us and had obtained fellowship in this ministration. ¹⁸ And the same hath now possessed a plot of ground with the reward of iniquity. And when he was hanged, burst asunder in the midst, and all his bowels gushed out. ¹⁹ And it is known unto all the inhabiters of Jerusalem. Insomuch that that field is called in their mother tongue, Akeldama, that is to say the blood field. ²⁰ It is written in the book of psalms, 'His habitation be void, and no man be dwelling therein,' and, 'His bishoprick let another take.'

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

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

²⁷ For of a truth, against thy holy child Jesus, whom thou hast anointed, both Herod and also Pontius Pilate with the gentiles, and the people of Israel, gathered themselves together:

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

²⁶ The seven good cows are seven years: and the seven good ears are seven years also, and is but one dream.

⁷ And behold, there was lift up a talent of lead: and lo, a woman sat in the midst of the measure.

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

²⁶ As they did eat, Jesus took bread and gave thanks, brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, "Take. Eat. This is my body." ²⁷ And he took the cup, and thanked, and gave it them, saying, "Drink of it every one. ²⁸ This is my blood of the new testament, that shall be shed for many, for the forgiveness of sins. ²⁹ I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine tree, until that day, when I shall drink it new with you in my father's kingdom."

⁴¹ And he took the five loaves and the two fishes; And looked up to heaven and blessed, and brake the loaves, and gave them to his disciples to put before them, and the two fishes he divided among them all.

²⁴ And he said unto them, "This is my blood, of the New Testament, which is shed for many.

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

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

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

⁴⁸ "I am that bread of life. ⁴⁹ Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness: and are dead. ⁵⁰ This, is that bread which cometh from heaven: that he which of it eateth, should also not die. ⁵¹ I am that living bread, which came down from heaven. If any man eat of this bread, he shall live forever. And the bread that I will give, is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world." ⁵² And the Jews strove among themselves, saying, "How can this fellow give us his flesh to eat?" ⁵³ Then Jesus said unto them, "Verily, verily I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the son of man, and drink his blood, ye shall not have life in you. ⁵⁴ Whosoever eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, the same hath eternal life: And I will raise him up at the last day. ⁵⁵ For my flesh is meat indeed: and my blood is drink indeed. ⁵⁶ He that eateth my flesh and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me: and I in him. ⁵⁷ As the living father hath sent me, even so live I by my father: and he that eateth me, shall live by me. ⁵⁸ This is the bread which came from heaven: not as your fathers have eaten manna and are dead. He that eateth of this bread, shall live ever."

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

¹⁶ Is not the cup of blessing which we bless, partaking of the blood of Christ? Is not the bread which we break, partaking of the body of Christ? ¹⁷ Because that we — though we be many — yet are one bread, and one body inasmuch as we all are partakers of one bread.

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

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

²⁷ And he took the cup, and thanked, and gave it them, saying, "Drink of it every one.

²² And as they ate, Jesus took bread, blessed and brake it and gave it to them and said, "Take, eat; This is my body."

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

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

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

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

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

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."

⁵³ Then Jesus said unto them, "Verily, verily I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the son of man, and drink his blood, ye shall not have life in you.

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

¹⁵ And for this cause is he the mediator of the new testament, that through death which chanced for the redemption of those transgressions that were in the first testament, they which were called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance. ¹⁶ For wheresoever is a testament, there must also be the death of him that maketh the testament. ¹⁷ For the testament taketh authority when men are dead: For it is of no value as long as he that made it is alive. ¹⁸ For which cause also, neither that first testament was ordained without blood. ¹⁹ For when all the commandments were read of Moses unto all the people, he took the blood of calves, and of goats, with water and purple wool and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book, and all the people, ²⁰ saying, "This is the blood of the testament, which God hath appointed unto you." ²¹ Moreover, he sprinkled the tabernacle with blood also, and all the ministering vessels. ²² And almost all things are, by the law, purged with blood, and without shedding of blood, is no remission. ²³ It is then need that the similitudes of heavenly things, be purified with such things: but the heavenly things themselves are purified with better sacrifices than are those.

²⁰ The God of peace that brought again from death our Lord Jesus Christ, the great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting testament, ²¹ make you perfect in all good works, to do his will, working in you that which is pleasant in his sight through Iesus Christ: To whom be praise for ever while the world endureth. Amen.

⁸ And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and twenty four elders fell down before the lamb, having harps and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints, ⁹ and they sung a new song saying, "Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof, for thou wast killed, and hast redeemed us by thy blood, out of all kindreds, and tongues, and people, and nations, ¹⁰ and hast made us unto our God, kings and priests and we shall reign on the earth."

⁹ After this I beheld, and lo a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and people, and tongues, stood before the seat, and before the lamb, clothed with long white garments, and palms in their hands, ¹⁰ and cried with a loud voice, saying, "Salvation be ascribed to him that sitteth upon the seat of our God, and unto the lamb." ¹¹ And all the angels stood in the compass of the seat, and of the elders and of the four beasts, and fell before the seat on their faces, and worshipped God, ¹² saying, amen, "Blessing and glory, wisdom and thanks, and honour, and power and might, be unto our God, for evermore, amen." ¹³ And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, "What are these which are arrayed in long white garments, and whence came they?" ¹⁴ And I said unto him, "Lord, thou knowest." And he said unto me, "These are they which came out of great tribulation and made their garments large, and made them white in the blood of the lamb: ¹⁵ therefore are they in the presence of the seat of God and serve him day and night in his temple, and he that sitteth in the seat will dwell among them. ¹⁶ They shall hunger no more neither thirst, neither shall the sun light on them, neither any heat. ¹⁷ For the lamb which is in the midst of the seat, shall feed them, and shall lead them unto fountains of living water, and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes."

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

¹⁸ And at that day the mountains shall drop sweet wine, and the hills shall flow with milk, and all the brooks of Judah shall run with water. And a fountain shall go out of the house of the LORD and water the river of Shittim.

¹³ "Behold, the days will come," saith the LORD, "that the earer shall overtake the reaper, and treader of grapes the sower of seed. And the mountains shall drop sweetness, and the hills shall be earable. ¹⁴ And I will turn the captivity of my people Israel: and they shall build the cities that are fallen in decay, and shall inhabit them, and shall plant vines and drink wine, and shall make gardens and eat the fruit of them.

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

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

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

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."

¹ In those days there was no king in Israel. And in those days the tribe of Dan sought them an inheritance to dwell in, for unto that time there fell none inheritance unto them among the tribes of Israel. ² And the children of Dan sent of their kindreds five men of activity, out of their coasts, even out of Zorah and Eshtaol, to view the land and search it out, and said unto them, "Go and search out the land." And they came to mount Ephraim, even to the house of Micah and lodged there. ³ And when they were come unto the house of Micah, they knew the voice of the young man the Levite, and turned in thither, and said unto him, "Who brought thee hither? And what makest thou in this place? And what hast thou here?" ⁴ And he said unto them, "Thus and thus dealeth Micah with me and hath hired me to be his priest."

⁶ O Sing praises, sing praises unto our God: O sing praises, sing praises unto our King. ⁷ For God is the King of all the earth; sing ye praises unto him with understanding.

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

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

³⁹ And he came out: and went, as he was wont, to Mount Olivet. And the disciples followed him.

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

¹⁵ What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, and will pray with the mind also. I will sing with the spirit, and will sing with the mind also.

¹⁸ And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess: but be fulfilled with the spirit, ¹⁹ speaking unto yourselves in psalms, and hymns, and spiritual songs, singing and making melody to the Lord in your hearts, ²⁰ giving thanks always for all things unto God the father, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ:

¹⁶ Let the word of Christ dwell in you plenteously in all wisdom. Teach and exhort your own selves, in psalms, and hymns, and spiritual songs which have favour with them, singing in your hearts to the Lord.

¹³ If any of you be evil vexed, let him pray. If any of you be merry, let him sing Psalms.

⁹ and they sung a new song saying, "Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof, for thou wast killed, and hast redeemed us by thy blood, out of all kindreds, and tongues, and people, and nations,

³¹ Then said Jesus unto them, "All ye shall be offended by me this night. For it is written, 'I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered abroad.'

³¹ And the Lord said, "Simon, Simon, behold Satan hath desired you, to sift you, as it were wheat: ³² But I have prayed for thee that thy faith fail not. And when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren."

¹ These things have I said unto you because ye should not be offended.

³² Behold, the hour draweth nigh, and is already come, that ye shall be scattered every man his ways, and shall leave me alone. And yet am I not alone. For the father is with me.

¹⁶ At my first answering for myself, no man assisted me, but all forsook me. I pray God, that it may not be laid to their charges:

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.

³² But after I am risen again, I will go before you into Galilee."

⁷ And go quickly and tell his disciples that he is risen from death. And behold, he will go before you into Galilee: there ye shall see him. Lo I have told you."

¹⁰ Then said Jesus unto them, "Be not afraid. Go and tell my brethren, that they go into Galilee, and there shall they see me."

¹⁶ Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, into a mountain where Jesus had appointed them.

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

¹ After that, Jesus showed himself again at the sea of Tiberias. And on this wise showed he himself:

⁴ and that he was buried, and that he arose again the third day according to the scriptures, ⁵ and that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve. ⁶ After that, he was seen of more than five hundred brethren at once: of which many remain unto this day, and many are fallen asleep.

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

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

³⁶ Simon Peter said unto him, "Lord whither goest thou?" Jesus answered him, "Whither I go thou canst not follow me now, but thou shalt follow me afterwards." ³⁷ Peter said unto him, "Lord why cannot I follow thee now? I will give my life for thy sake." ³⁸ Jesus answered him, "Wilt thou give thy life for my sake? Verily, verily I say unto thee, the cock shall not crow, till thou have denied me thrice."

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."

⁵ and called the light "day," and the darkness "night." And so of the evening and morning was made the first day.

⁸ And God called the firmament "heaven." And so of the evening and morning was made the second day.

¹³ and then of the evening and morning was made the third day.

¹⁹ and so of the evening and morning was made the fourth day.

²³ And so of the evening and morning was made the fifth day.

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

⁶⁶ And Peter was beneath in the palace, and there came one of the wenches of the highest priest; ⁶⁷ And when she saw Peter warming himself, she looked on him, and said, "Was not thou also with Jesus of Nazareth?" ⁶⁸ And he denied it, saying, "I know him not, neither know I what thou sayest." And he went out into the porch, and the cock crew. ⁶⁹ And a damsel saw him, and again began to say to them that stood by, This is one of them. ⁷⁰ And he denied it again. And anon after, they that stood by, said again to Peter, "Surely thou art one of them, for thou art of Galilee, and thy speech agreeth thereto." ⁷¹ And he began to curse and to swear, saying, "I know not this man of whom ye speak." ⁷² And again the cock crew. And Peter remembered the word that Jesus said unto him. "Before the cock crow twice, thou shalt deny me thrice," and began to weep.

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

⁵⁴ Then took they him, and led him, and brought him to the high priest's house. And Peter followed afar off. ⁵⁵ When they had kindled a fire in the midst of the palace, and were set down together, Peter also sat down among them. ⁵⁶ And one of the wenches, as he sat, beheld him by the fire and set good eyesight on him, and said, "This same was also with him." ⁵⁷ Then he denied him, saying, "Woman I know him not." ⁵⁸ And after a little while, another saw him and said, "Thou art also of them." And Peter said, "Man I am not." ⁵⁹ And about the space of a hour after, another affirmed, saying, "Verily even this fellow was with him, for he is of Galilee." ⁶⁰ And Peter said, "Man, I know not what thou sayest." And immediately while he yet spake, the cock crew. ⁶¹ And the Lord turned back and looked upon Peter. And Peter remembered the words of the Lord, how he said unto him, "Before the cock crow thou shalt deny me thrice." ⁶² And Peter went out, and wept bitterly.

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

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

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

⁸ And the people answered all together and said, "All that the LORD hath said, we will do." And Moses brought the words of the people unto the LORD.

²⁷ Go thou and hear all that the LORD our God sayeth, and tell thou unto us all that the LORD our God sayeth unto thee, and we will hear it and do it.' ²⁸ And the LORD heard the voice of your words when ye spake unto me, and he said unto me, 'I have heard the voice of the words of this people which they have spoke unto thee, they have well said all that they have said. ²⁹ Oh that they had such a heart with them to fear me and keep all my commandments always, that it might go well with them and with their children forever.

¹³ And Hazael said, "What is thy servant, which am but a dog, that I should do this great thing?" And Elisha said, "For the LORD hath showed me, that thou shalt be king of Syria."

⁴ "Behold, I am too vile a person to answer thee, therefore will I lay my hand upon my mouth. ⁵ Once or twice have I spoken, but I will say no more."

⁶ And in my prosperity I said, "I shall never be removed." And why? Thou, LORD, of thy goodness, hast made my hill so strong.

¹⁸ Pride goeth before destruction; and after a proud stomach there followeth a fall.

²⁴ A friend that delighteth in love, doth a man more friendship, and sticketh faster unto him than a brother.

²³ After pride cometh a fall; but a lowly spirit bringeth great worship.

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

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

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

⁵ The pains of hell came about me; the snares of death overtook me. {TYNDALE: The cords of hell have compassed me about, and the snares of death have overtaken me.} ⁶ In my trouble I will call upon the LORD, and complain unto my God. So he shall hear my voice out of his holy temple, and my complaint shall come before him: it shall enter even into his ears. {TYNDALE: In my tribulation I called to the LORD, and cried to my God. And he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry entered into his ears.}

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

¹ {A Psalm and song of the sons of Korah, to the Chanter upon Mahalath, to give thanks, an Instruction of Heman the Ezrahite} O LORD God my Savior, I have cried day and night before thee; ² O let my prayer enter into thy presence. Incline thine ear unto my calling. ³ For my soul is full of trouble, and my life draweth nigh unto hell.

⁴ For the love that I had unto them, they take now my contrary part; but I give myself unto prayer.

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

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."

³⁹ And again he went away and prayed, and spake the same words.

³⁹ And he came out: and went, as he was wont, to Mount Olivet. And the disciples followed him. ⁴⁰ And when he came to the place, he said to them, "Pray, lest ye fall into temptation." ⁴¹ And he gat himself from them, about a stone's cast, and kneeled down, and prayed, ⁴² saying, "Father if thou wilt, withdraw this cup from me. Nevertheless, not my will; But thine be fulfilled." ⁴³ And there appeared an angel unto him from heaven, comforting him. ⁴⁴ And he was in agony, and prayed somewhat longer: And his sweat was like drops of blood, trickling down to the ground. ⁴⁵ And he rose up from prayer, and came to his disciples, and found them sleeping for sorrow, ⁴⁶ and said unto them, "Why sleep ye? Rise, and pray lest ye fall into temptation."

¹ When Jesus had spoken these words, he went forth with his disciples over the brook Kidron, where was a garden: into the which he entered with his disciples. ² Judas also, which betrayed him, knew the place, for Jesus oftentimes resorted thither with his disciples. ³ Judas then after he had received a bond of men, and ministers of the high priests, and of the Pharisees, came thither with lanterns, and firebrands, and weapons. ⁴ Then Jesus, knowing all things that should come on him, went forth and said unto them, "Whom seek ye?" ⁵ They answered him, "Jesus of Nazareth." Jesus said unto them, "I am he." Judas also which betrayed him, stood with them. ⁶ But as soon as he had said unto them, "I am he," they went backwards and fell to the ground. ⁷ And he asked them again, "Whom seek ye?" They said, "Jesus of Nazareth." ⁸ Jesus answered, "I said unto you, I am he. If ye seek me, let these go their way." ⁹ That the saying might be fulfilled, which he spake, "Of them which thou gavest me have I not lost one." ¹⁰ Simon Peter had a sword, and drew it, and smote the high priest's servant, and cut off his right ear. The servant's name was Malchus. ¹¹ Then said Jesus unto Peter, "Put up thy sword into the sheath: shall I not drink of the cup which my father hath given me?"

¹¹ My lovers and friends stand looking upon my trouble, and my kinsmen are gone afar off.

¹ {To the Chanter, upon Shoshannim, of David} Save me, O God; for the waters are come in, even unto my soul. ² I stick fast in the deep mire, where no ground is; I am come into deep waters, so that the floods run over me. ³ I am weary of crying; my throat is dry. My sight faileth me, for waiting so long upon my God.

¹⁴ LORD, why abhorrest thou my soul, and hidest thou thy face from me? ¹⁵ I am in misery, and like unto him that is at the point to die; even from my youth up, thy terrors have I suffered with a troubled mind. ¹⁶ Thy wrathful displeasure goeth over me; and the fear of thee hath undone me.

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.

³⁷ And he took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to wax sorrowful and to be in agony. ³⁸ Then said Jesus unto them, "My soul is heavy even unto the death. Tarry ye here: and watch with me."

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.

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.

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

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.

³ He was despised and cast out of men's company; and one that had suffered sorrow, and had experience of infirmity. And we were as one that had hid his face from him. ⁴ He was so despisable, that we esteemed him not. Truly, he took upon him our diseases, and bare our sorrows. And yet we counted him plagued, and beaten, and humbled of God.

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.

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

³⁵ Watch, therefore, for ye know not when the master of the house will come: whether at even, or at midnight; whether at the cock crowing, or in the dawning: ³⁶ lest if he come suddenly, he should find you sleeping. ³⁷ And that I say unto you, I say unto all men: Watch."

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

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

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

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

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

³ And Abram fell on his face. And God talked moreover with him, saying,

¹⁸ And I fell before the LORD, even as at the first time — forty days and nights, and neither ate bread nor drank water — over all your sins which ye had sinned in doing wickedly in the sight of the LORD and in provoking him.

¹⁵ And God sent the angel to Jerusalem to destroy it. And as he was about to destroy, the LORD beheld and had compassion on the wretchedness, and said to the angel that destroyed, "It is enough, now cease thine hand." And the angel of the LORD stood by the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite. ¹⁶ And David lifted up his eyes and saw the angel of the LORD stand between the earth and heaven with a drawn sword in his hand stretched out toward Jerusalem. Then fell David and the elders of Israel, clothed in sack, upon their faces.

³ And all the children of Israel saw how the fire came down and the glory of the LORD upon the house, and stooped with their faces to the earth upon the pavement and bowed themselves and confessed unto the LORD, that he was good and that his mercy lasted ever.

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."

⁴¹ And he came the third time, and said unto them, "Sleep henceforth, and take your ease. It is enough. The hour is come; Behold the son of man shall be delivered into the hands of sinners.

¹⁵ And one of them, when he saw that he was cleansed, turned back again, and with a loud voice praised God, ¹⁶ and fell down on his face at his feet, and gave him thanks. And the same was a Samaritan.

²⁵ And as it chanced Peter to come in, Cornelius met him, and fell down at his feet, and worshipped him. ²⁶ But Peter took him up, saying, "Stand Up: for even I myself am a man."

¹⁰ the twenty four elders fell down before him that sat on the throne, and worshipped him that liveth forever, and cast their crowns before the throne saying,

¹⁴ And the four beasts said, "Amen." And the twenty four elders fell upon their faces, and worshipped him that liveth for evermore.

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."

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

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

⁹ After this manner, therefore, pray ye: O our father, which art in heaven hallowed be thy name.

²⁷ Jesus looked upon them, and said, "With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible."

⁴¹ And he gat himself from them, about a stone's cast, and kneeled down, and prayed, ⁴² saying, "Father if thou wilt, withdraw this cup from me. Nevertheless, not my will; But thine be fulfilled."

³⁴ Jesus said unto them, "My meat is to do the will of him that sent me. And to finish his work.

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

³⁸ For I came down from heaven: not to do mine own will, but his will which hath sent me. ³⁹ And this is the father's will which hath sent me: that of all which he hath given me, I should lose nothing; but should raise it up again at the last day.

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?"

¹⁵ For ye have not received the spirit of bondage to fear anymore, but ye have received the spirit of adoption whereby we cry, "Abba father." ¹⁶ The same spirit certifieth our spirit that we are the sons of God.

⁶ Because ye are sons, God hath sent the spirit of his son into our hearts, which crieth "Abba, father."

⁸ He humbled himself and became obedient unto the death, even the death of the cross.

¹³ If we believe not, yet abideth he faithful. He cannot deny himself.

² which is after godliness upon the hope of eternal life; which life God, that cannot lie, hath promised before the world began:

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

¹⁸ that by two immutable things — in which it was impossible that God should lie — we might have perfect consolation, which have fled, for to hold fast the hope that is set before us:

¹⁷ And Absalom said again to Hushai, "Is this the kindness thou owest to thy friend? Why wentest thou not with him?"

⁵ "Seeing thou art weary in running with the footmen, how wilt thou then run with the horses? In a peaceable sure land thou mayest be safe, but how wilt thou do in the furious pride of Jordan?

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

⁵ While the bridegroom tarried, all slumbered and slept.

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

²⁹ Peter said unto him, "And though all men should be offended, yet would not I." ³⁰ And Jesus said unto him, "Verily I say unto thee this day even in this night, before the cock crow twice, thou shalt deny me thrice." ³¹ And he spake bolder, "No, if I should die with thee, I will not deny thee." Likewise also said they all.

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

³¹ which appeared gloriously, and spake of his departing, which he should end at Jerusalem. ³² Peter, and they that were with him, were heavy with sleep. And when they woke, they saw his glory, and two men standing with him.

⁶ Therefore let us not sleep as do others: but let us watch and be sober. ⁷ For they that sleep, sleep in the night: and they that be drunken, are drunken in the night. ⁸ But let us which are of the day be sober, armed with the breast plate of faith and love, and with hope of salvation as a helmet.

³ Consider therefore how that he endured such speaking against him of sinners, lest ye should be wearied and faint in your minds.

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

⁴² Wake, therefore, because ye know not what hour your master will come.

¹³ Look that ye watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor yet the hour, when the son of man shall come.

⁴¹ Watch and pray, that ye fall not into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak."

³⁴ And said unto them, "My soul is very heavy even unto the death, tarry here and watch."

³⁶ Watch therefore continually and pray, that ye may obtain grace to fly all this that shall come. And that ye may stand before the son of man."

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

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

¹⁸ For I know that in me, that is to say, in my flesh, dwelleth no good thing. To will is present with me: but I find no means to perform that which is good. ¹⁹ For I do not that good thing which I would: but that evil do I, which I would not. ²⁰ Finally, if I do that I would not, then is it not I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me doeth it. ²¹ I find then, by the law, that when I would do good, evil is present with me. ²² I delight in the law of God, as concerning the inner man. ²³ But I see another law in my members rebelling against the law of my mind, and subduing me unto the law of sin, which is in my members. ²⁴ O wretched man that I am: who shall deliver me from this body of death? ²⁵ I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord: So then I myself in my mind serve the law of God, and in my flesh the law of sin.

¹³ Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, and be strong.

¹⁷ For the flesh lusteth contrary to the spirit, and the spirit contrary to the flesh. These are contrary one to the other, so that ye cannot do that which ye would.

¹² Wherefore, my dearly beloved, as ye have always obeyed — not when I was present only, but now much more in mine absence — even so work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.

² Be awake, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die. For I have not found thy works perfect before God. ³ Remember, therefore, how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If you shalt not watch, I will come on you as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee.

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

⁷ "And when ye pray, babble not much, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard, for their much babbling's sake.

⁴² He went away once more, and prayed, saying, "O my father, if this cup cannot pass away from me, but that I drink of it, thy will be fulfilled." ⁴³ And he came, and found them asleep again. For their eyes were heavy. ⁴⁴ And he left and went again, and prayed the third time saying the same words.

¹ He put forth a similitude unto them, signifying that men ought always to pray, and not to be weary,

⁸ For this thing besought I the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me,

¹⁶ Then said Judah, "What shall we say unto my lord? What shall we speak, or what excuse can we make? God hath found out the wickedness of thy servants. Behold, both we and he with whom the cup is found, are thy servants."

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.

¹⁹ Yea and we know that whatsoever the law saith, he saith it to them which are under the law: That all mouths may be stopped, and all the world be subdued to God,

¹⁴ But go and cry unto the gods which ye have chosen, and let them save you in the time of your tribulation."

²⁷ And at noon Elijah mocked them, and said, "Call loud, for he is a god: but he is talking, or occupied, or in the way, or haply he sleepeth, that he may awake!"

¹⁵ And when he was come to the king, the king said to him, "Micaiah, shall we go to Ramoth in Gilead to battle, or shall we be still?" And he said unto him, "Go and prosper, the LORD deliver it unto the hands of the king."

¹³ And Elisha said to the king of Israel, "What have I to do with thee? Get thee to the prophets of thy father and of thy mother." And the king of Israel said unto him, "Oh nay, but hath the LORD called these three kings to deliver them into the hands of the Moabites?"

⁹ Be glad then, O thou young man, in thy youth, and let thine heart be merry in thy young days; follow the ways of thine own heart, and the lust of thine eyes: but be thou sure, that God shall bring thee into judgment for all these things.

³⁹ Go now then, sayeth the LORD God: ye house of Israel, cast away, and destroy every man his Idols. Then shall ye hear me, and no more blaspheme my holy name with your offerings and Idols.

² "Ye know that after two days shall be Easter, and the son of man shall be delivered to be crucified."

⁹ And he said unto them, "Well, ye cast aside the commandment of God, to maintain your own traditions.

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."

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."

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

¹⁸ And as they sat at board and ate, Jesus said, "Verily I say unto you, That one of you shall betray me, which eateth with me."

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

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

²⁰ These words spake Jesus in the treasury, as he taught in the temple. And no man laid hands on him; For his time was not yet come.

²³ And Jesus answered them saying, "The hour is come that the son of man must be glorified.

¹ Before the feast of Easter, when Jesus knew that his hour was come, that he should depart out of this world unto the father; When he loved his which were in the world, unto the end he loved them; ² And when supper was ended, after that, the devil had put in the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray him.

¹ These words spake Jesus and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, "Father, the hour is come glorify thy son that thy son may glorify thee:

⁵² Which of the prophets have not your fathers persecuted? And they have slain them, which showed before of the coming of that Just, whom ye have betrayed and murdered.

⁴⁶ Rise, let us be going: Behold, he is at hand that shall betray me."

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

¹ W hy did the heathen rage and the people imagine vain things? ² The kings of the earth stood up and the rulers came together against the LORD, and against his Christ.

¹ {A Psalm of David when he fled from the face of Absalom} LORD, how are they increased that trouble me! Many are they that rise against me. ² Many ones there be that say of my soul, "There is no help for him in his God." Selah.

¹¹ O go not far from me then, for trouble is hard at hand, and here is none to help me. ¹² Many oxen are come about me; fat bulls of Bashan close me in on every side. ¹³ They gape upon me with their mouths, as it were a rampaging and a roaring lion.

⁴⁷ While he yet spake, Lo, Judas, one of the twelve, came: and with him a great multitude with swords and staves, which were sent from the chief priests and elders of the people. ⁴⁸ And he that betrayed him, gave them a token, saying, "Whosoever I kiss, the same is he: lay hands on him." ⁴⁹ And forthwith-all he came to Jesus, and said, "Hail master." And kissed him. ⁵⁰ And Jesus said unto him, "Friend, wherefore art thou come?" Then came they and laid hands on Jesus and took him. ⁵¹ And behold, one of them which were with Jesus, stretched out his hand and drew his sword, and struck a servant of the high priest, and smote off his ear. ⁵² Then said Jesus unto him, "Put up thy sword into his sheath. For all they that lay hands on the sword, shall perish with the sword. ⁵³ Either thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my father, and he shall give me more than twelve legions of angels? ⁵⁴ But how then should the scriptures be fulfilled? For so must it be." ⁵⁵ The same time said Jesus to the multitude, "Ye be come out as it were unto a thief, with swords and staves for to take me: daily I sat among you teaching in the temple, and ye took me not. ⁵⁶ All this was done that the scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled." Then all the disciples forsook him and fled.

⁴⁷ While he yet spake: behold, there came a company: and he that was called Judas, one of the twelve, went before them, and pressed nigh unto Jesus to kiss him. ⁴⁸ And Jesus said unto him, "Judas, betrayest thou the son of man with a kiss?" ⁴⁹ When they which were about him saw what would follow, they said unto him, "Lord, shall we smite with a sword?" ⁵⁰ And one of them smote a servant of him which was the highest priest of all, and smote off his right ear. ⁵¹ And Jesus answered, and said, "Suffer ye thus far forth." And he touched his ear, and healed him. ⁵² Then Jesus said unto the high priests and rulers of the temple and the elders which were come to him, "Be ye come out, as unto a thief: with swords and staves? ⁵³ When I was daily with you in the temple, ye stretched not forth hands against me. But this is even your very hour, and the power of darkness."

¹⁶ "Ye men and brethren, this scripture must have needs been fulfilled which the holy ghost, through the mouth of David, spake before of Judas, which was guide to them that took Jesus:

¹³ And the blood shall be unto you a token, upon the houses wherein ye are; for when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy you, when I smite the land of Egypt.

¹² Now, therefore, swear unto me by the LORD because I have showed you mercy, that ye shall also show mercy unto my father's house and give me a true token.

²² Go, I pray you, and mark more diligently; and know and see his haunt, where his foot hath been, and who hath seen him there: for it is told me that he is very subtle. ²³ See therefore and know all the lurking places where he lurketh, and come again to me with the certainty, and I will go with you. And then if he be in the land, I will hunt him out with all the thousands of Judah.

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

²⁰ Yea, they lay hands upon such as be at peace with him, and so they break his covenant. ²¹ Their mouths are softer than butter, and yet have they battle in their mind: their words are smoother than oil, and yet be they very swords.

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

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

²³ and when they had beaten them sore, they cast them into prison commanding the jailer to keep them surely.

²⁸ and in nothing fearing your adversaries: which is to them a token of perdition, and to you a sign of salvation, and that of God.

¹⁷ The salutation of me, Paul, with mine own hand. This is the token in all epistles. So I write.

³ The ox knoweth his owner, and the Ass his master's crib; but Israel knoweth nothing. My people hath no understanding.

⁶ "Should not a son honour his father, and a servant his master? If I be now a father, where is mine honour? If I be the LORD, where am I feared? sayeth the LORD of Hosts, now, to you priests that despise my name. And if ye say, 'Wherein have we despised thy name?'

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

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?

⁴⁶ Why call ye me 'Master, Master': and do not as I bid you?

¹³ Ye call me 'Master' and 'Lord,' and ye say well, for so am I. ¹⁴ If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet: ye also ought to wash one another's feet.

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

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

²⁰ {Res} The very breath of our mouth, even the anointed LORD himself, shall be taken in our sins; of whom we say, "Under his shadow we shall be preserved among the Heathen."

¹² Then the company, and the Captain, and the ministers of the Jews, took Jesus and bound him,

⁵¹ And behold, one of them which were with Jesus, stretched out his hand and drew his sword, and struck a servant of the high priest, and smote off his ear. ⁵² Then said Jesus unto him, "Put up thy sword into his sheath. For all they that lay hands on the sword, shall perish with the sword. ⁵³ Either thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my father, and he shall give me more than twelve legions of angels? ⁵⁴ But how then should the scriptures be fulfilled? For so must it be."

⁴⁹ When they which were about him saw what would follow, they said unto him, "Lord, shall we smite with a sword?" ⁵⁰ And one of them smote a servant of him which was the highest priest of all, and smote off his right ear. ⁵¹ And Jesus answered, and said, "Suffer ye thus far forth." And he touched his ear, and healed him.

¹⁴ After whom art thou come out, thou king of Israel? After whom chasest thou? Even after a dead dog, and after a flea! ¹⁵ The LORD be judge, and judge between thee and me, and see and plead my cause, and judge me free out of thine hand."

¹⁸ And he said thereto, "Wherefore doth my lord persecute his servant? For what have I done? Or what evil is in mine hand?

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

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

²² All this was done, to fulfill that which was spoken of the Lord by the Prophet saying,

²³ And when he was come into the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came unto him as he was teaching, and said, "By what authority doest thou these things? And who gave thee this power?" ²⁴ Jesus answered, and said unto them, "I also will ask of you a certain question, which, if ye assoil me, I in like wise will tell you by what authority I do these things. ²⁵ The baptism of John: whence was it? From heaven, or of men?" Then they reasoned among themselves, saying, "If we shall say from heaven; he will say unto us, 'Why did ye not then believe him?' ²⁶ But and if we shall say of men; then fear we the people. For all men held John as a prophet." ²⁷ And they answered Jesus, and said, "We cannot tell." And he likewise said unto them, "Neither tell I you by what authority I do these things.

¹⁵ And they came to Jerusalem, and Jesus went into the temple: and began to cast out the sellers and buyers in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the money changers, and the stools of them that sold doves: ¹⁶ and would not suffer that any man carried a vessel through the temple. ¹⁷ And he taught, saying unto them, "Is it not written, how that my house shall be called 'The house of prayer unto all nations?' But ye have made it a den of thieves." ¹⁸ And the scribes and high priests heard it and sought how to destroy him. For they feared him, because all the people marveled at his doctrine.

²⁷ And they came again to Jerusalem. And as he walked in the temple, there came to him the high priests, and the scribes, and the elders,

³⁵ And Jesus answered, and said, teaching in the temple, "How say the scribes, that Christ is the son of David?

⁴⁷ And he taught daily in the temple. The high priests and the scribes and the chief of the people, went about to destroy him;

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

³⁷ For I say unto you that, yet, that which is written must be performed in me: for those things which are written of me have an end."

²⁵ And he said unto them, "O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken.

⁴⁴ And he said unto them, "These are the words, which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you: that all must be fulfilled which were written of me in the law of Moses, and in the Prophets, and in the Psalms." ⁴⁵ Then opened he their wits, that they might understand the scriptures,

²⁸ Then cried Jesus in the temple, as he taught, saying, "And me ye know, and whence I am ye know: and yet I am not come of myself. But he that sent me is true, whom ye know not. ²⁹ I know him: For I am of him, and he hath sent me." ³⁰ Then sought they to take him: but no man laid hands on him, because his time was not yet come.

³⁷ In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, "If any man thirst, let him come unto me and drink.

² and early in the morning came again into the temple. And all the people came unto him; And he sat down, and taught them.

¹² Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, "I am the light of the world. He that followeth me shall not walk in darkness: but shall have the light of life."

²³ And Jesus walked in Solomon's porch.

²⁰ Jesus answered him, "I spake openly in the world. I ever taught in the synagogue and in the temple whither all the Jews resorted: and in secret have I said nothing:

¹³ He hath put my brethren far away from me, and such as were of mine acquaintance, are become strangers unto me. ¹⁴ Mine own kinfolk have forsaken me, and my friends have put me out of remembrance.

⁷ Thine indignation lieth hard upon me, and thou hast vexed me with all thy floods. Selah. ⁸ Thou hast put away mine acquaintance far from me, and made me to be abhorred of them. I am so fast in prison that I cannot get forth.

¹⁸ My lovers and friends hast thou put away from me, and hid mine acquaintance out of my sight.

³ "I have trodden the press myself alone, and of all people, there was not one with me. Thus have I trodden down mine enemies in my wrath, and set my feet upon them in my indignation: And their blood sprang upon my clothes, and so have I stained all my raiment.

²⁷ And Jesus said unto them, "All ye shall be offended through me this night. For it is written, 'I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered.'

⁸ Jesus answered, "I said unto you, I am he. If ye seek me, let these go their way."

¹² And she caught him by the garment, saying, "Come, sleep with me." And he left his garment in her hand and fled and got him out.

⁴ Satan answered the LORD, and said, "Skin for skin? Yea, a man will give all that ever he hath, for his life.

¹⁴ Moreover, when ye see the abomination that betokeneth desolation, whereof is spoken by Daniel the prophet, stand where it ought not" - let him that readeth understand it - "then let them that be in Jewry, flee to the mountains. ¹⁵ And let him that is on the housetop, not descend down into the house, neither enter therein, to fetch anything out of his house. ¹⁶ And let him that is in the field, not turn back again unto those things which he left behind him, for to take his clothes with him.

⁷ He suffered wrong and was evil entreated, and yet opened not his mouth: he was as a sheep led to be slain: and as a lamb before his shearer, he was dumb and opened not his mouth.

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

⁵⁷ And they took Jesus and led him to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were assembled. ⁵⁸ And Peter followed him afar off, unto the high priest's place: and went in, and sat with the servants to see the end. ⁵⁹ The chief priests, and the elders, and all the council, sought false witness against Jesus, for to put him to death, ⁶⁰ but found none: insomuch that when many false witnesses came, yet found they none. At the last came two false witnesses, ⁶¹ and said, "This fellow said, I can destroy the temple of God, and build the it again in three days." ⁶² And the chief priest arose, and said to him, "Answerest thou nothing? How is it that these bear witness against thee?" ⁶³ But Jesus held his peace. And the chief priest answered, and said to him, "I charge thee in the name of the living God, that thou tell us whether thou be Christ the son of God." ⁶⁴ Jesus said to him, "Thou hast said. Nevertheless I say unto you, hereafter shall ye see the son of man sitting on the righthand of power, and come in the clouds of the sky." ⁶⁵ Then the high priest rent his clothes saying, "He hath blasphemed: what need we of any more witnesses? Behold, now have ye heard his blasphemy: ⁶⁶ What think ye?" They answered and said, "He is worthy to die." ⁶⁷ Then spat they in his face, and buffeted him with their fists. And others smote him with the palm of their hands on the face, ⁶⁸ saying, "Tell us, thou Christ, who is he that smote thee?"

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.

¹² Then the company, and the Captain, and the ministers of the Jews, took Jesus and bound him, ¹³ and led him away to Annas, first: For he was father-in-law unto Caiaphas, which was the high priest that same year. ¹⁴ Caiphas was he that gave counsel to the Jews that it was expedient that one man should die for the people.

¹⁹ The high priest asked Jesus of his disciples, and of his doctrine. ²⁰ Jesus answered him, "I spake openly in the world. I ever taught in the synagogue and in the temple whither all the Jews resorted: and in secret have I said nothing: ²¹ why askest thou me? Ask them which heard me, what I said unto them. Behold they can tell what I said." ²² When he had thus spoken, one of the ministers which stood by, smote Jesus on the face saying, "Answerest thou the high priest so?" ²³ Jesus answered him, "If I have evil spoken, bear witness of the evil: if I have well spoken, why smitest thou me?" ²⁴ And Annas sent him bound unto Caiaphas the high priest.

⁵ And it chanced on the morrow that their rulers, and elders, and scribes: ⁶ as Annas the chief priest, and Caiaphas, and John and Alexander, and as many as were of the kindred of the high priest: were gathered together at Jerusalem,

⁷ And the Hebrews went over Jordan unto the land of Gad and Gilead. But Saul was yet in Gilgal, and all the people that followed him were astonished.

⁹ and entered there into a cave and lodged there all night. And then the word of the LORD came to him, and said, "What doest thou here, Elijah?"

¹³ And when Elijah heard it, he covered his face with his mantle, and went out and stood in the mouth of the cave. And see, there came a voice unto him and said, "What doest thou here Elijah?"

⁵⁸ And Peter followed him afar off, unto the high priest's place: and went in, and sat with the servants to see the end.

³⁸ Watch ye, and pray, lest ye enter into temptation: the spirit is ready, but the flesh is weak."

⁶⁷ And when she saw Peter warming himself, she looked on him, and said, "Was not thou also with Jesus of Nazareth?" ⁶⁸ And he denied it, saying, "I know him not, neither know I what thou sayest." And he went out into the porch, and the cock crew.

⁵⁵ When they had kindled a fire in the midst of the palace, and were set down together, Peter also sat down among them. ⁵⁶ And one of the wenches, as he sat, beheld him by the fire and set good eyesight on him, and said, "This same was also with him."

¹⁵ And Simon Peter followed Jesus, and another disciple: that disciple was known of the high priest, and went in with Jesus into the palace of the high priest. ¹⁶ But Peter stood at the door without. Then went out that other disciple which was known unto the high priest, and spake to the damsel that kept the door, and brought in Peter.

¹⁸ The servants and the ministers stood there, and had made a fire of coals. For it was cold, and they warmed themselves. Peter also stood among them and warmed himself.

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

¹⁰ and set two unthrifties before him, and let them testify against him, saying, 'Thou didst curse both God and the king.' And upon that carry him out and stone him to death."

¹³ and there came in two unthrifty persons and sat before him. And the two unthrifty persons witnessed against Naboth before the people, saying, "Naboth did curse God and the king." And upon that they carried him out of the city and stoned him with stones to death.

¹² Deliver me not over into the will of mine adversaries; for there are false witnesses risen up against me, and such as imagine mischief.

¹¹ False witnesses are risen up, and lay to my charge things that I know not.

⁴ Wherefore the princes and lords sought to pick out in Daniel some quarrel against the kingdom: yet could they find none occasion nor fault upon him. For why? He was so faithful, that there was no blame nor dishonesty found in him.

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

⁵⁹ The chief priests, and the elders, and all the council, sought false witness against Jesus, for to put him to death, ⁶⁰ but found none: insomuch that when many false witnesses came, yet found they none. At the last came two false witnesses,

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

¹ After five days, Ananias the high priest descended, with elders and with a certain orator named Tertullus, and informed the ruler of Paul. ² When Paul was called forth; Tertullus began to accuse him saying, "Seeing that we live in great quietness by the means of thee and that many good things are done unto this nation through thy providence: ³ that allow we ever and in all places, most mighty Felix with all thanks. ⁴ Notwithstanding, that I be not tedious unto thee, I pray thee that thou wouldest hear us of thy courtesy a few words. ⁵ We have found this man a pestilent fellow, and a mover of debate unto all the Jews throughout the world; And a maintainer of sedition, of the sect of the Nazarenes; ⁶ and also hath enforced to pollute the temple: Whom we took, and would have judged according to our law, ⁷ but the high captain Lysias came upon us, and with great violence took him away out of our hands, ⁸ commanding his accusers to come unto thee: of whom thou mayest, if thou wilt enquire, know the certain of all these things where of we accuse him." ⁹ The Jews likewise affirmed, saying that it was even so. ¹⁰ Then Paul, after that the ruler himself had beckoned unto him that he should speak, answered, "I shall with a more quiet mind answer for myself, forasmuch as I understand that thou hast been of many years a judge unto this people, ¹¹ because that thou mayest know that there are yet but twelve days since I went up to Jerusalem for to pray. ¹² And that they neither found me in the temple disputing with any man, either raising up the people, neither in the synagogues nor in the city. ¹³ Neither can they prove the things whereof they accuse me.

¹⁶ having a good conscience, that when they backbite you as evil doers, they may be ashamed, forasmuch as they have falsely accused your good conversation in Christ. ¹⁷ It is better — if the will of God be so — that ye suffer for well doing, than for evil doing. ¹⁸ Forasmuch as Christ hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, for to bring us to God, and was killed, as pertaining to the flesh: but was quickened in the spirit.

⁸ Now when he had spoken out all the words that the LORD commanded him to preach unto all the people, then the priests, the prophets and all the people took hold upon him, and said, "Thou shalt die. ⁹ How darest thou be so bold, as to say in the name of the LORD, 'It shall happen to this house as it did unto Shiloh? And this city shall be so waste, that no man shall dwell therein?'"

¹⁸ "Micah the Morasthite, which was a prophet under Hezekiah king of Judah, spake to all the people of Judah, 'Thus sayeth the LORD of Hosts: Zion shall be plowed like a field, Jerusalem shall be a heap of stones, and the hill of the LORD's house shall be turned to a high wood.'

⁶⁰ but found none: insomuch that when many false witnesses came, yet found they none. At the last came two false witnesses, ⁶¹ and said, "This fellow said, I can destroy the temple of God, and build the it again in three days."

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."

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.

¹⁸ Then answered the Jews and said unto him, "What token showest thou unto us, seeing that thou dost these things?" ¹⁹ Jesus answered, and said unto them, "Destroy this temple, and in three days I will rear it up again." ²⁰ Then said the Jews, "Forty six years was this temple a building: and wilt thou raise it up in three days?" ²¹ But he spake of the temple of his body.

¹³ and brought forth false witnesses which said, "This man ceaseth not to speak blasphemous words against this holy place and the law, ¹⁴ for we heard him say, 'This Jesus of Nazareth shall destroy this place, and shall change the ordinances which Moses gave unto us.'"

³⁴ Thou beheldest it till a stone was cut without hands, which smote the image upon the feet that were both of iron and earth, and brake them to powder.

⁴⁵ And whereas thou sawest that without any hands there was cut out of the mount a stone, which brake the iron, the copper, the earth, the silver and gold in pieces: by that hath the great God showed the king, what will come after this. This is a true dream, and the interpretation of it is sure."

¹⁹ Jesus answered, and said unto them, "Destroy this temple, and in three days I will rear it up again."

⁴⁸ Howbeit, he that is highest of all dwelleth not in temples made with hands, as saith the prophet,

¹ We know surely if our earthy mansion wherein we now dwell were destroyed, that we have a building ordained of God, a habitation not made with hands, but eternal in heaven:

¹¹ But Christ being a high priest of good things to come, came by a greater, and a more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands: that is to say, not of this manner building,

²⁴ For Christ is not entered into the holy places, that are made with hands, which are but similitudes of true things: but is entered into very heaven, for to appear now in the sight of God for us.

⁶² And the chief priest arose, and said to him, "Answerest thou nothing? How is it that these bear witness against thee?" ⁶³ But Jesus held his peace. And the chief priest answered, and said to him, "I charge thee in the name of the living God, that thou tell us whether thou be Christ the son of God."

³ And the high priests accused him of many things. ⁴ Wherefore, Pilate asked him again, saying, "Answerest thou nothing? Behold how many things they lay unto thy charge." ⁵ Jesus yet answered never a word, so that Pilate marveled.

⁹ and went again into the judgment hall, and said unto Jesus, "Whence art thou?" But Jesus gave him none answer. ¹⁰ Then said Pilate unto him, "Speakest thou not unto me? Knowest thou not that I have power to crucify thee, and have power to loose thee?"

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

¹ {To the Chanter, for praising, a Psalm of David} I said, "I will take heed to my ways, that I offend not in my tongue. I will keep my mouth as it were with a bridle, while the ungodly is in my sight." ² I held my tongue; I was dumb. I kept silence, yea even from good words, but it was pain and grief to me.

⁹ I became dumb, and opened not my mouth; for it was thy doing.

¹² Blessed art thou, O LORD; O teach me thy statutes.

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.

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

²⁹ And, behold, they cried out, saying, "O Jesus, the son of God, what have we to do with thee? Art thou come hither to torment us before the time be come?"

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

¹⁶ Simon Peter answered, and said, "Thou art Christ, the son of the living God."

⁶³ But Jesus held his peace. And the chief priest answered, and said to him, "I charge thee in the name of the living God, that thou tell us whether thou be Christ the son of God." ⁶⁴ Jesus said to him, "Thou hast said. Nevertheless I say unto you, hereafter shall ye see the son of man sitting on the righthand of power, and come in the clouds of the sky."

¹² And when he was accused of the chief priests and elders, he answered nothing. ¹³ Then said Pilate unto him, "Hearest thou not how many things they lay against thee?" ¹⁴ And he answered him to never a word: insomuch that the deputy marveled greatly.

⁶¹ And he held his peace, and answered nothing. Again the highest priest asked him, and said unto him, "Art thou the Christ, the son of the blessed?" ⁶² And Jesus said, "I am. And ye shall see the son of man sit on the righthand of power, and come in the clouds of heaven." ⁶³ Then the highest priest rent his clothes and said, "What need we any further of witness?

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

⁶⁷ "Art thou very Christ? Tell us." And he said unto them, "If I shall tell you, ye will not believe. ⁶⁸ And if also I ask you, ye will not answer me, or let me go. ⁶⁹ Hereafter shall the son of man sit on the righthand of the power of God." ⁷⁰ Then said they all, "Art thou then the son of God?" He said to them, "Ye say that I am." ⁷¹ Then said they, "What need we any further witness? We ourselves have heard of his own mouth."

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

⁴⁹ Nathanael answered and said unto him, "Rabbi, thou art the son of God; Thou art the King of Israel." ⁵⁰ Jesus answered and said unto him, "Because I said unto thee, I saw thee under the fig tree, thou believest? Thou shalt see greater things than these." ⁵¹ And he said unto him, "Verily, verily, I say unto you, Hereafter shall ye see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending, and descending over the son of man."

¹⁸ Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, not only because he had broken the Sabbath: but said also that God was his father and made himself equal with God. ¹⁹ Then answered Jesus and said unto them, "Verily, verily, I say unto you, The son can do no thing of himself: but that he seeth the father do. For whatsoever he doeth, that doeth the son also. ²⁰ For the father loveth the son, and showeth him all things, whatsoever he himself doeth. And he will show him greater works than these, because ye should marvel. ²¹ For likewise, as the father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth them, even so the son quickeneth whom he will. ²² Neither judgeth the father any man: but hath committed all judgment unto the son, ²³ because that all men should honour the son, even as they honour the father. He that honoureth not the son, the same honoureth not the father which hath sent him.

²⁴ Then came the Jews round about him, and said unto him, "How long dost thou make us doubt? If thou be Christ, tell us plainly."

³⁰ And I and my father are one." ³¹ Then the Jews again took up stones, to stone him withal.

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

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

⁷ The Jews answered him, "We have a law, and by our law he ought to die: because he made himself the son of God."

⁹ and went again into the judgment hall, and said unto Jesus, "Whence art thou?" But Jesus gave him none answer.

³² The tenor of the scripture which he read was this, "He was led as a sheep to be slain: And like a lamb dumb before his shearer, so opened he not his mouth.

¹¹ according to the gospel of the glory of the blessed God, which gospel is committed unto me.

¹⁵ which appearing, when the time is come, he shall show that is blessed and mighty only, King of Kings, and Lord of lords,

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

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

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

³⁰ And then shall appear the sign of the son of man in heaven. And then shall all the kindreds of the earth mourn, and they shall see the son of man come in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

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

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

²⁶ And then shall they see the son of man coming in the clouds, with great power and glory.

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

⁶⁹ Hereafter shall the son of man sit on the righthand of the power of God."

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

⁹ And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up: and a cloud received him up out of their sight. ¹⁰ And while they looked steadfastly up to heaven, as he went; behold, two men stood by them in white apparel, ¹¹ which also said, "Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? This same Jesus which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come, even as ye have seen him go into heaven."

⁷ and to you which are troubled, rest with us; when the Lord Jesus shall show himself from heaven, with his mighty angels, ⁸ in flaming fire, rendering vengeance unto them that know not God, and to them that obey not unto the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ, ⁹ which shall be punished with everlasting damnation, from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power, ¹⁰ when he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be made marvelous in all them that believe: because our testimony that we had unto you, was believed even the same day that we preached it.

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

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

¹⁰ For this is the testament that I will make with the house of Israel: After those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws in their minds, and in their hearts, I will write them, and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.

¹² For I will be merciful over their unrighteousness, and on their sins and on their iniquities." ¹³ In that he saith a new testament, he hath abrogated the old. Now that which is disannulled and waxed old, is ready to vanish away.

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

⁷ Behold, he cometh with clouds, and all eyes shall see him: and they also which pierced him. And all kindreds of the earth shall wail. Even so, amen.

¹¹ And I saw a great white seat and him that sat on it, from whose face fled away both the earth and heaven, and their place was no more found.

¹⁰ He that is the high priest among his brethren, upon whose head the anointing oil was poured and whose hand was filled to put on the vestments, shall not uncover his head nor rent his clothes,

⁶ And Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, which were of them that searched the land, rent their clothes

²² So came Eliakim, Hilkiah's son the President, Shebna the Scribe, and Joah, Asaph's son the Secretary, unto Hezekiah with rent clothes, and told him the words of Rabshakeh. ²³ And when Jehudi had read three or four leaves thereof, he cut the book in pieces with a pen knife, and cast it into the fire upon the hearth, until the book was all burnt in the fire upon the hearth. ²⁴ Yet no man was abashed thereof, or rent his clothes: neither the king himself, nor his servants, though they heard all these words.

⁶⁵ Then the high priest rent his clothes saying, "He hath blasphemed: what need we of any more witnesses? Behold, now have ye heard his blasphemy:

¹³ Then Jupiter's priest, which dwelt before their city, brought oxen and garlands unto the gate, and would have done sacrifice with the people. ¹⁴ But when the apostles, Barnabas and Paul heard that, they rent their clothes, and ran in among the people, crying

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

⁹ And she wrote in the letter, saying, "Proclaim fasting and set Naboth on high among the people, ¹⁰ and set two unthrifties before him, and let them testify against him, saying, 'Thou didst curse both God and the king.' And upon that carry him out and stone him to death." ¹¹ And the elders and nobles of his city, which dwelt in his city, did as Jezebel had sent unto them, and as it was written in the letter which she had sent unto them. ¹² They proclaimed fasting, and set Naboth on high among the people, ¹³ and there came in two unthrifty persons and sat before him. And the two unthrifty persons witnessed against Naboth before the people, saying, "Naboth did curse God and the king." And upon that they carried him out of the city and stoned him with stones to death.

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

⁷¹ Then said they, "What need we any further witness? We ourselves have heard of his own mouth."

¹⁸ Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, not only because he had broken the Sabbath: but said also that God was his father and made himself equal with God.

⁵⁸ Jesus said unto them, "Verily, verily I say unto you: Yer Abraham was, I am." ⁵⁹ Then took they up stones, to cast at him. But Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple.

³¹ Then the Jews again took up stones, to stone him withal.

¹⁴ And the LORD said unto Moses, "If her father had spit in her face, should she not be ashamed seven days? Let her be shut out of the host seven days, and after that let her be received in again."

⁸ And when the king came again out of the palace garden into the parlor where they had eaten, Haman had laid him upon the bed that Esther sat upon. Then said the king, "Will he force the queen also? Beside me, in the house?" As soon as that word went out of the king's mouth, they covered Haman's face.

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

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.

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

³⁴ and they shall mock him, and scourge him and spit upon him, and kill him, and the third day he shall rise again."

¹⁹ And they smote him on the head with a reed, and spat upon him, and kneeled down and worshipped him.

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?"

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

³ and said, "Hail King of the Jews." And they smote him on the face.

² The high priest Ananias commanded them that stood by, to smite him on the mouth.

⁵⁴ And Peter followed him a great way off, even into the palace of the high priest, and he was there and sat with the servants, and warmed himself at the fire.

¹⁵ And Simon Peter followed Jesus, and another disciple: that disciple was known of the high priest, and went in with Jesus into the palace of the high priest. ¹⁶ But Peter stood at the door without. Then went out that other disciple which was known unto the high priest, and spake to the damsel that kept the door, and brought in Peter. ¹⁷ Then said the damsel that kept the door unto Peter, "Art not thou one of this man's disciples?" He said, "I am not." ¹⁸ The servants and the ministers stood there, and had made a fire of coals. For it was cold, and they warmed themselves. Peter also stood among them and warmed himself.

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."

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

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."

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."

⁴⁵ And Philip found Nathaniel, and said unto him, "We have found him of whom Moses, in the law and the prophets, did write: Jesus, the son of Joseph of Nazareth." ⁴⁶ And Nathanael said unto him, "Can there any good thing come out of Nazareth?" Philip said to him, "Come and see." ⁴⁷ Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and said of him, "Behold a right Israelite, in whom is no guile." ⁴⁸ Nathanael said unto him, "From where knowest thou me?" Jesus answered, and said unto him, "Before that Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig tree, I saw thee." ⁴⁹ Nathanael answered and said unto him, "Rabbi, thou art the son of God; Thou art the King of Israel."

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

³⁸ How God had anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the holy ghost, and with power; which Jesus went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devils, for God was with him.

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

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

¹² If we be patient, we shall also reign with him; If we deny him, he also shall deny us; ¹³ If we believe not, yet abideth he faithful. He cannot deny himself.

⁵⁸ And after a little while, another saw him and said, "Thou art also of them." And Peter said, "Man I am not."

¹ Brethren, if any man be fallen by chance into any fault, ye which are spiritual, help to amend him, in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted.

⁶ Then the other answered, "Then say, 'Shibboleth.'" And they said, "Syboleth" — and could not so pronounce. Whereupon the others took them and slew them at the passages of Jordan. And there were overthrown at that time, of the Ephraimites, forty two thousand.

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

⁶⁸ And he denied it, saying, "I know him not, neither know I what thou sayest." And he went out into the porch, and the cock crew.

⁵⁹ And about the space of a hour after, another affirmed, saying, "Verily even this fellow was with him, for he is of Galilee." ⁶⁰ And Peter said, "Man, I know not what thou sayest." And immediately while he yet spake, the cock crew.

⁷ They wondered all, and marveled: saying among themselves, "Behold, are not all these which speak of Galilee?

¹² And Hazael said, "Why weepeth my lord?" And he answered, "For I know that thou shalt do evil unto the children of Israel: their strong cities thou shalt set on fire, and their young men thou shalt slay with the sword, and shalt dash out the brains of their sucking children: and all to tear their women with child." ¹³ And Hazael said, "What is thy servant, which am but a dog, that I should do this great thing?" And Elisha said, "For the LORD hath showed me, that thou shalt be king of Syria." ¹⁴ And so he departed from Elisha and came to his master, which said to him, "What said Elisha to thee?" And he said, "He told me that thou shouldest recover." ¹⁵ And on the morrow he took a rough cloth and dipped it in the water and spread it on his face, and he died, and Hazael reigned in his stead.

³² In those days the LORD began to cut Israel short, for Hazael slew them in all the coasts of Israel,

¹⁰ And David's heart smote him after that he had numbered the people. And he said unto the LORD, "I have sinned exceedingly in that I have done. And now LORD take away the trespass of thy servant: for I have done foolishly."

⁵⁹ I call mine own ways to remembrance, and turn my feet into thy testimonies. ⁶⁰ I make haste, and prolong not the time, to keep thy commandments.

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

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

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

³¹ Then shall ye remember your own wicked ways, and your imaginations, which were not good: so that ye shall take displeasure at your own selves, by reason of your sins and abominations.

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

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

¹⁷ Then he came to himself and said, 'How many hired servants at my father's have bread enough, and I die for hunger. ¹⁸ I will arise, and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven and before thee, ¹⁹ and am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired servants.'

⁶⁰ And Peter said, "Man, I know not what thou sayest." And immediately while he yet spake, the cock crew.

⁶² And Peter went out, and wept bitterly.

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.
