⁵ And the next day, the rulers and the Elders and the Scribes assembled; ⁶ and also Annas the high priest, and Caiaphas, and John, and Alexander, and they who were of the kindred of the high priests. ⁷ And when they had set them in the midst, they interrogated them: By what power or what name, have ye done this? ⁸ Then Simon Cephas was filled with the Holy Spirit, and said to them: Ye rulers of the people, and Elders of the house of Israel, hear ye. ⁹ If we are judged by you this day, respecting the good deed done to the infirm man, by what means he was healed; ¹⁰ be it known to you, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Messiah the Nazarean, whom ye crucified, and whom God hath raised from the dead, lo, by him, doth this man stand here before you recovered. ¹¹ This is the stone, which ye builders rejected; and it hath become the head of the corner. ¹² Neither is there deliverance in any other; for there is not another name under heaven, which is given to men, whereby to live. ¹³ And when they heard the speech of Simon and John, which they pronounced confidently, they reflected that these were unlearned and plebeian men, and they were surprised at them, and recognized them as having been conversant with Jesus. ¹⁴ And they saw that the lame man, who had been healed, stood near them; and they could say nothing to confront them. ¹⁵ Then they commanded to remove them from the presence of the council; and said one to another: ¹⁶ What shall we do to these men? For lo, that a manifest sign hath been wrought by them, is known to all that reside at Jerusalem, and we cannot deny it. ¹⁷ But that the fame of it spread no further, let us interdict their speaking any more to any man in this name. ¹⁸ And they called them, and commanded them not to speak nor to teach at all in the name of Jesus. ¹⁹ Simon Cephas and John answered, and said to them: Whether it be right before God, that we hearken to you more than to God, judge ye. ²⁰ For we cannot but speak that which we have seen and heard. ²¹ And they threatened them, and dismissed them. For they found no ground for punishing them, because of the people: for every one praised God for what had been done; ²² for the man, on whom this sign of healing had been wrought, was more than forty years old.

³³ And when they heard these things, they burned with indignation, and thought of putting them to death. ³⁴ Then rose up one of the Pharisees whose name was Gamaliel, a teacher of the law, and honored by all the people; and he directed them to put the legates aside for a short time.

⁴⁰ And they called the legates, and scourged them, and commanded them not to teach in the name of Jesus, and dismissed them.

¹² But when they gave credence to Philip, as he preached the kingdom of God, in the name of our Lord Jesus Messiah; they were baptized, both men and women. ¹³ And Simon himself also believed, and was baptized, and adhered to Philip. And when he saw the signs and mighty deeds which were wrought by his hand, he was surprised and astonished. ¹⁴ And when the legates at Jerusalem, heard that the people of the Samaritans had received the word of God, they sent out to them Simon Cephas and John. ¹⁵ And they went down, and prayed over them, that they might receive the Holy Spirit. ¹⁶ For he was not yet on any one of them; and they had only been baptized in the name of our Lord Jesus.

³⁶ And as they proceeded on the way, they came to a certain place in which there was water. And the eunuch said: Lo, here is water; what doth forbid, that I should be baptized? ³⁷ And Philip said: If thou believest with all thy heart, it is allowable. And he answered, and said: I believe that Jesus Messiah is the Son of God. ³⁸ And he commanded the chariot to stop; and they both went down to the water, and Philip baptized the eunuch.

³ And as he was going, and began to approach Damascus, suddenly there was poured upon him a light from heaven. ⁴ And he fell to the ground; and he heard a voice which said to him: Saul! Saul! why persecutest thou me? It will be hard for thee to kick against the goads. ⁵ He replied, and said: Who art thou, my Lord? And our Lord said: I am Jesus the Nazarean, whom thou persecutest. ⁶ But arise and go into the city, and there it will be told thee what thou oughtest to do. ⁷ And the men who travelled with him in the way, stood amazed; for they heard merely the voice, and no one was visible to them.

¹⁸ And immediately there fell from his eyes something like a scab; and his eyes were opened. And he arose and was baptized.

³⁶ For this is the word, which he sent to the sons of Israel, announcing to them peace and rest by Jesus Messiah, He is Lord of all;

⁴⁷ And Simon said: Can any one forbid water, that those should not be baptized, they who have received, lo, the Holy Spirit, as well as we? ⁴⁸ Then he commanded them to be baptized in the name of our Lord Jesus Messiah. And they requested him to remain with them some days.

¹⁹ And Herod, when he sought him, and could not find him, arraigned the keepers, and sentenced them to die. And he went from Judaea, and resided at Caesarea.

⁴⁶ And Paul and Barnabas said openly: To you first, ought the word of God to be spoken; but because ye repel it from you, and decide, against yourselves, that ye are not worthy of life eternal, lo, we turn ourselves to the Gentiles. ⁴⁷ For so hath our Lord commanded us; as it is written: I have set thee a light to the Gentiles; that thou shouldst be for life unto the ends of the earth.

²¹ And while they were preaching to the inhabitants of that city, they made many disciples. And turning back, they came to the city Lystra, and to Iconium, and to Antioch,

¹⁵ And she was baptized, and her household. And she entreated us, saying: If ye are really persuaded that I have believed in our Lord, come and take lodging in my house. And she urged us much. ¹⁶ And it occurred that, as we were going to the house of prayer, a certain maid met us, who had a spirit of divination, and who procured for her lords great gain by the divination which she performed. ¹⁷ And she followed after Paul and us, and cried, saying: These men are the servants of the Most High God, and they announce to you the way of life. ¹⁸ And this she did many days. And Paul was indignant; and he said to that spirit, I command thee, in the name of Jesus Messiah, that thou come out of her. And it came out the same hour. ¹⁹ And when her lords saw that the prospect of their gain from her was gone, they seized Paul and Silas, and dragging them along brought them to the market-place, ²⁰ and set them before the prefects and chiefs of the city, and said: These men disturb our city; for they are Jews, ²¹ and they preach to us customs, which it is not lawful for us to receive and to practise, because we are Romans. ²² And a great company was collected against them. Then the prefects rent their garments, and commanded to scourge them. ²³ And when they had scourged them much, they cast them into the prison, and commanded the keeper of the prison to keep them with care. ²⁴ And he, having received this command, carried and immured them in the inner part of the prison, and confined their feet in the stocks. ²⁵ And at midnight Paul and Silas were praying and glorifying God: and the prisoners heard them. ²⁶ And suddenly there was a great shaking, and the foundations of the prison were moved; and at once all the doors opened, and the bands of all were loosed.

²⁶ And suddenly there was a great shaking, and the foundations of the prison were moved; and at once all the doors opened, and the bands of all were loosed. ²⁷ And when the keeper of the prison awoke, and saw that the doors of the prison were open, he took a sword and sought to kill himself; because he supposed the prisoners had escaped. ²⁸ But Paul called to him, in a loud voice, and said: Do thyself no harm, for we are all here. ²⁹ And he lighted for himself a lamp, and sprang and came in, trembling, and fell at the feet of Paul and Silas.

²⁹ And he lighted for himself a lamp, and sprang and came in, trembling, and fell at the feet of Paul and Silas. ³⁰ And he brought them out, and said to them: My lords, what must I do, that I may have life? ³¹ And they said to him: Believe on the name of our Lord Jesus Messiah, and thou wilt have life, thou and thy house. ³² And they spoke the word of the Lord to him, and to all the members of his house. ³³ And the same hour of the night, he took and washed them from their stripes; and he was baptized immediately, he and all the members of his house.

⁹ And the Lord said to Paul in a vision: Fear not, but speak and be not silent: ¹⁰ for I am with thee, and no one is able to harm thee; and I have much people in this city.

³ He said to them: Into what then were ye baptized? They say: Into the baptism of John. ⁴ Paul said to them: John baptized the people with the baptism of repentance, while he told them to believe in him who was to come after him, that is, in Jesus the Messiah. ⁵ And when they heard these things, they were baptized in the name of our Lord Jesus Messiah.

²⁰ and I shunned not that which was advantageous to your souls, that I might preach to you, and teach in the streets and in houses, ²¹ while I testified to Jews and to Gentiles, as to repentance towards God and faith in our Lord Jesus Messiah.

²⁷ For I have not shunned to acquaint you with all the will of God.

²⁸ Therefore, be this known to you, that to the Gentiles is this redemption of God sent: and, moreover, they will hear it.

³ Or do ye not know, that we who are baptized into Jesus Messiah, are baptized into his death? ⁴ For we are buried with him in baptism unto death; that as Jesus Messiah arose from the dead into the glory of his Father, so also we, to walk in a new life.

²⁹ And he knew them, previously; and he sealed them with the likeness of the image of his Son; that He might be the first-born of many brothers.

¹⁸ But I say: Have they not heard? And, lo, their proclamation hath gone out into all the earth; and their words to the ends of the world.

⁹ Moreover, for this cause Messiah died, and revived, and arose; that he might be Lord of the dead and of the living.

¹³ Now was Messiah divided? Or was Paul crucified for you? Or were ye baptized in the name of Paul? ¹⁴ I thank my God that I baptized none of you, except Crispus and Gaius; ¹⁵ lest any one should say, that I baptized in my own name. ¹⁶ I moreover baptized the household of Stephanas: but further, I know not that I baptized any other.

² Moreover I commend you, my Brethren, that in all things ye are mindful of me, and that ye hold fast the precepts as I delivered them to you.

²³ For I have received from our Lord, that which I imparted to you; that our Lord Jesus, on the night he was betrayed, took bread,

⁴ Now there are diversities of gifts; but the Spirit is one. ⁵ And there are diversities of ministrations; but the Lord is one. ⁶ And there are diversities of energies; but God, who worketh all in all men, is one.

³⁷ And if any one among you thinketh that he is a prophet, or that he is spiritual, let him recognize the things which I write to you, as being the precepts of our Lord.

⁴ and that he was buried and arose on the third day, as it is written:

⁶ and after that, he was seen by more than five hundred brethren at once; many of whom survive at the present time, and some of them sleep.

¹⁵ And we too are found false witnesses of God; for we have testified concerning God, that he raised up the Messiah, when he did not raise him up.

²⁷ For he hath subjected all under his feet. But when he said, that every thing is subjected to him, it is manifest that he is excepted, who subjected all to him.

²⁹ Otherwise, what shall they do who are baptized for the dead, if the dead rise not? Why are they baptized for the dead?

¹¹ Finally, my brethren, rejoice, and be perfected, and be comforted: and may harmony and quietness be among you; and the God of love and of peace will be with you.

¹⁴ { (13:13) The peace of our Lord Jesus the Messiah, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with you all. Amen.} { :}

²⁷ For they who have been baptized into the Messiah, have put on the Messiah.

²⁰ which he put forth in the Messiah, and raised him from the dead, and seated him at his right hand in heaven, ²¹ high above all principalities, and authorities, and powers, and lordships, and above every name that is named, not only in this world but also in that to come: ²² and he hath subjected all things under his feet; and hath given him who is high over all, to be the head of the church;

¹⁸ because, by him there is access for us both, by one Spirit, unto the Father.

¹¹ And he gave some, legates; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers: ¹² for perfecting the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edification of the body of the Messiah; ¹³ until we all become one and the same, in faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God, and one complete man according to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Messiah: ¹⁴ and that we might not be children, agitated and turned about by every wind of the crafty doctrines of men who plot to seduce by their subtilty: ¹⁵ but that we might be established in our love; and that every thing in us might progress in the Messiah, who is the head: ¹⁶ and from him it is, the whole body is framed together and compacted by all the junctures, according to the gift that is imparted by measure to each member, for the growth of the body; that his edifice may be perfected in love. ¹⁷ And this I say, and testify in the Lord, that henceforth ye walk not as the other Gentiles, who walk in the vanity of their mind:

²⁰ But ye have not so learned the Messiah; ²¹ if ye have truly heard him, and by him have learned as the truth is in Jesus. ²² But ye have learned, that ye should lay aside your former practices, the old man that is corrupted with the lusts of error; ²³ and should be renewed in the spirit of your minds; ²⁴ and should put on the new man, that is created by God in righteousness and in the holiness of truth. ²⁵ Wherefore, put away from you lying, and speak ye the truth each with his neighbor; for we are members one of another. ²⁶ Be ye angry, and sin not: and let not the sun go down upon your wrath. ²⁷ And give no place to the Accuser. ²⁸ And let him that stole, steal no more; but let him labor with his hands, and do good acts; that he may have to give to him who needeth. ²⁹ Let no hateful language come from your mouth, but that which is decorous, and useful for edification, that it may convey grace to those who hear. ³⁰ And grieve not the Holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed for the day of redemption. ³¹ Let all bitterness, and anger, and wrath, and clamoring, and reviling, be taken from you, with all malice: ³² and be ye affectionate towards one another, and sympathetic; and forgive ye one another, as God by the Messiah hath forgiven us.

⁹ Wherefore, also, God hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is more excellent than all names; ¹⁰ that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of beings in heaven, and on earth, and under the earth; ¹¹ and that every tongue should confess that Jesus the Messiah is the Lord, to the glory of God his Father.

¹⁶ and by him was created every thing that is in heaven and on earth, all that is seen and all that is unseen, whether thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or sovereignties; every thing was through him, and was created by him: ¹⁷ and he was prior to all, and by him every thing exists. ¹⁸ And he is the head of the body the church; as he is the head and first-born from among the dead, that he might be the first in all things. ¹⁹ For it pleased the Father, that in him all fullness should dwell;

²³ provided ye continue in your faith, your foundation being firm, and ye be not removed from the hope of the gospel; of which ye have heard, that it is proclaimed in all the creation beneath heaven; of which gospel I Paul am a minister.

²⁸ whom we proclaim, and teach and make known to every man, in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Jesus the Messiah.

¹⁰ And in him ye are also complete, because he is the head of all principalities and authorities.

¹ Wherefore, my brethren, I entreat you, and beseech you by our Lord Jesus, that, as ye have received from us how ye ought to walk, and to please God, so ye would make progress more and more. ² For ye know what command we gave you in our Lord Jesus the Messiah.

⁶ And we enjoin upon you, my brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus the Messiah, that ye withdraw from every brother who walketh wickedly, and not according to the precepts which ye received from us. ⁷ For ye know how ye ought to imitate us, who did not walk wickedly among you. ⁸ Neither did we eat bread gratuitously from any of you; but, with toil and weariness, we labored by night and by day, that we might not be burdensome to any of you. ⁹ It was not because we have no authority, but that we might give you an example in ourselves, that ye might imitate us. ¹⁰ And while we were with you, we also gave you this precept, That every one who would not work, should likewise not eat. ¹¹ For we hear, there are some among you who walk wickedly, and do nothing except vain things. ¹² Now such persons, we command and exhort, by our Lord Jesus the Messiah, that in quietness they work, and eat their own bread.

¹⁶ and truly great, is this mystery of righteousness, which was revealed in the flesh, and justified in the spirit, and seen by angels, and proclaimed among the Gentiles, and believed on in the world, and received up into glory.

¹ Let them who are under the yoke of servitude, hold their masters in all honor; lest the name of God and his doctrine be reproached. ² And let them who have believing masters, not treat them with disrespect, because they are their brethren; but let them be more obedient, because they are believers and beloved, in whose service they enjoy quietness. These things teach thou, and request of them. ³ But if there be any one, who teacheth a different doctrine, and doth not accede to the salutary words of our Lord Jesus the Messiah, and to the doctrine of the fear of God, ⁴ he is one that exalteth himself, while he knoweth nothing; and he languisheth in the search and inquiry about words, from which come envy, and contention, and railing, and evil surmising,

¹⁰ for the love of money is the root of all these evils. And there are some who, coveting it, have erred from the faith, and brought themselves into many sorrows.

¹⁷ But my Lord stood by me, and strengthened me; that by me the preaching might be fulfilled; and that all the Gentiles might hear: and I was rescued from the mouth of the lion.

¹ But speak thou the things that belong to wholesome doctrine. ² And teach the older men to be watchful in their minds, and to be sober, and to be pure, and to be sound in the faith, and in love and in patience. ³ And so also the elder women, that they be in behavior as becometh the fear of God; and not to be slanderers; and not to be addicted to much wine; and to be inculcators of good things, ⁴ making the younger women to be modest, to love their husbands and their children, ⁵ to be chaste and holy, and to take good care of their households, and to be obedient to their husbands; so that no one may reproach the word of God. ⁶ And likewise exhort young men to be sober. ⁷ And in every thing show thyself a pattern, as to all good works: and in thy teaching, let thy discourse be healthful, ⁸ such as is sober and uncorrupt; and let no one despise it: so that he who riseth up against us, may be ashamed, seeing he can say nothing odious against us. ⁹ Let servants obey their masters in every thing, and strive to please them, and not contradict, nor pilfer; ¹⁰ but let them manifest that their fidelity, in all respects, is good: so that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Life-giver, in all things.

² But in these latter days, he hath conversed with us, by his Son; whom he hath constituted heir of all things, and by whom he made the worlds;

¹⁴ Are they not all spirits of ministration, who are sent to minister on account of them that are to inherit life?

⁸ And all things hast thou subjected under his feet. And in this subjecting of all things to him, he omitted nothing, which he did not subject. But now, we do not yet see all things subjected to him.

¹¹ For he that sanctifieth, and they who are sanctified, are all of one nature. Therefore he is not ashamed to call them brethren; ¹² as he saith, I will announce thy name to my brethren; in the midst of the assembly, I will praise thee. ¹³ And again, I will confide in him. And again, Behold me, and the children whom thou, God, hast given to me. ¹⁴ For because the children participated in flesh and blood, he also, in like manner, took part in the same; that, by his death, he might bring to naught him who held the dominion of death, namely Satan; ¹⁵ and might release them, who, through fear of death, are all their lives subject to bondage. ¹⁶ For he did not assume a nature from angels, but he assumed a nature from the seed of Abraham. ¹⁷ Wherefore it was right, that he should be in all respects like his brethren; that he might be merciful, and a high priest faithful in the things of God, and might make expiation for the sins of the people. ¹⁸ For, in that he himself hath suffered, and been tempted, he is able to succor them who are tempted.

¹² And it was revealed to them, in regard to all they were searching, that, not for themselves were they inquiring, but for us they were prophesying of those things, which are now manifested to you by means of the things we have announced to you, by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven; which things the angels also desire to look into.

¹⁰ who formerly were not accounted a people, but now are the people of God; and also, there were once no mercies on you, but now mercies are poured out upon you. ¹¹ My beloved, I entreat you as strangers and pilgrims, separate yourselves from all lusts of the body; for they war against the soul. ¹² And let your behavior be decorous before all men; so that they who utter evil speeches against you, may see your good actions, and may praise God in the day of trial. ¹³ And be ye submissive to all the sons of men, for God's sake; to kings, on account of their authority; ¹⁴ and to judges, because they are sent by him for the punishment of offenders, and for the praise of them that do well. ¹⁵ For so is the pleasure of God, that by your good deeds ye may stop the mouth of the foolish, who know not God: ¹⁶ as free men, yet not like men who make their freedom a cloak for their wickedness, but as the servants of God. ¹⁷ Honor all men; love your brethren; fear God; and honor kings. ¹⁸ And those among you who are servants, be subject to your masters, with reverence; not only to the good and gentle, but also to the harsh and morose. ¹⁹ For there is favor before God for them who, for the sake of a good conscience, endure sorrows that come upon them wrongfully.

²¹ And ye also, by a like figure, are made alive by baptism, (not when ye wash your bodies from filth, but when ye confess God with a pure conscience,) and by the resurrection of Jesus the Messiah; ²² who is taken up to heaven, and is on the right hand of God, and angels, and authorities, and powers, are subject to him.

⁵ And, while ye apply all diligence in the matter, add to your faith moral excellence; and to moral excellence, knowledge; ⁶ and to knowledge, perseverance; and to perseverance, patience; and to patience, the fear of God; ⁷ and to the fear of God, sympathy with the brotherhood; and to sympathy with the brotherhood, love. ⁸ For, while these are found in you, and abounding, they render you not slothful, and not unfruitful, in the recognition of our Lord Jesus the Messiah. ⁹ For he, in whom these things are not found, is blind and seeth not, and hath forgotten the purgation of his former sins. ¹⁰ And therefore, my brethren, be ye exceedingly diligent to make your calling and election sure, by your good actions: for, by so doing, ye will never fall away. ¹¹ For thus will entrance be given you abundantly, into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Redeemer Jesus the Messiah.

² that ye may be mindful of the words which were formerly spoken by the holy prophets, and of the injunction of our Lord and Redeemer by the hand of the legates:

³ And by this we shall be sensible that we know him, if we keep his commandments. ⁴ For he that saith, I know him, and doth not keep his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.

¹⁹ And by this, we recognize that we are of the truth; and, before he shall come, we make our hearts confident. ²⁰ But if our heart condemneth us, how much greater is God than our heart, and knowing all things? ²¹ My beloved, if our heart condemneth us not, we have open countenances before God. ²² And whatever we ask, we receive from him; because we keep his commandments, and do acceptable things before him. ²³ And this is his commandment, that we believe on the name of his Son Jesus the Messiah, and that we love one another as he hath commanded us. ²⁴ And he that keepeth his commandments, is kept by him, and he dwelleth in him: and by this we understand that he abideth in us, from his Spirit which he hath given to us.

⁷ For there are three that testify in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit: and these three are one.

⁴ John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace to you and quietude, from him who is, and who was, and who is to come, from the seven Spirits which are before his throne; ⁵ and from Jesus the Messiah, the Witness, the Faithful, the First-born of the dead, and the Prince of the kings of the earth; who hath loved us, and released us from our sins by his blood; ⁶ and hath made us a kingdom sacerdotal to God and his Father: to whom be glory and power, for ever and ever. Amen.

¹⁴ And his head and his hair were white, like white wool, like snow; and his eyes, like a flame of fire: ¹⁵ and his feet were like fine brass, flaming in a furnace: and his voice, like the sound of many waters. ¹⁶ And he had in his right hand seven stars; and from his mouth issued a sharp twoedged sword; and his visage was like the sun shining in its strength. ¹⁷ And when I saw him, I fell at his feet like one dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, and said, Fear not: I am the First and the Last;

¹⁷ And when I saw him, I fell at his feet like one dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, and said, Fear not: I am the First and the Last; ¹⁸ and who liveth and was dead; and behold, I am alive for ever and ever. Amen. And I have the keys of death and of the unseen world.

¹⁸ and who liveth and was dead; and behold, I am alive for ever and ever. Amen. And I have the keys of death and of the unseen world.

⁴ Yet thou hast a few names in Sardis, who have not defiled their garments; and they shall walk with me in white, for they are worthy. ⁵ He that is victorious, shall be so clothed in white robes; and I will not blot out their name from the book of life; and I will confess their name before my Father, and before his angels.

⁹ Behold, I will give them of the congregation of Satan, who say they are Jews, and are not, but lie, behold I will make them to come and do obeisance before thy feet; and to know that I have loved thee.

¹¹ And I looked, and I heard, as it were the voice of many angels, around the throne, and the Animals and the Elders; and the number of them was a myriad of myriads, and thousand of thousands, ¹² who said, with a loud voice; Competent is the Lamb that was slain, to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honor, and glory, and blessing; ¹³ and to be over every created thing, that is in heaven, or on earth, or under the earth, or in the sea; and all that are in them. And I heard him who sat on the throne say: Unto the Lamb be given, blessing, and honor, and glory, and power, for ever and ever. ¹⁴ And the four Animals said: Amen. And the Elders fell down, and adored.

¹ And I saw another mighty angel, that descended from heaven, clothed with a cloud; and a cloud-bow was over his head, and his face was like the sun, and his feet like pillars of fire.

¹⁵ And the seventh angel sounded; and there were voices and thunders, which said: The kingdom of the world hath become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Messiah; and he will reign for ever and ever.

¹⁹ And the temple of God in heaven was opened; and the ark of his covenant was seen in his temple: and there were lightnings, and thunders, and voices, and an earthquake, and great hail.

¹⁴ They will make war upon the Lamb; and the Lamb will vanquish them; because he is Lord of lords, and King of kings, and these with him are called and chosen and faithful.

¹ After these things, I saw another angel come down from heaven; and he had great authority and the earth was illumined by his glory.

¹⁶ And he hath upon his vesture and upon his thigh the words written: King of kings, and Lord of lords.

¹⁴ Blessed are they who do his commandments, that they may have a right to the tree of life, and may enter through the gates into the city.

²⁰ He who testifieth these things, saith: Yes, I come quickly. Amen. Come, Lord Jesus! ²¹ The grace of our Lord Jesus the Messiah, be with all the saints. Amen.
