³⁴ and he said to her, 'Daughter, your faith has saved you; go away in peace, and be whole from your plague.'

³⁰ Because of this, among you many are weak and sickly, and sleep do many; ³¹ for if ourselves we were discerning, we would not be being judged, ³² and being judged by the Lord, we are chastened, that with the world we may not be condemned;

⁶ for whom the Lord does love He does chasten, and He scourges every son whom He receives;'

¹⁴ is any infirm among you? let him call for the elders of the assembly, and let them pray over him, having anointed him with oil, in the name of the Lord, ¹⁵ and the prayer of the faith shall save the distressed one, and the Lord shall raise him up, and if sins he may have committed, they shall be forgiven to him.

²⁸ And he having come to the house, the blind men came to him, and Jesus said to them, 'Believe you that I am able to do this?' They say to him, 'Yes, sir.' ²⁹ Then touched he their eyes, saying, 'According to your faith let it be to you,' ³⁰ and their eyes were opened, and Jesus strictly charged them, saying, 'See, let no one know;'

³⁰ and there came to him great multitudes, having with them lame, blind, dumb, maimed, and many others, and they did cast them at the feet of Jesus, and he healed them, ³¹ so that the multitudes did wonder, seeing dumb ones speaking, maimed whole, lame walking, and blind seeing; and they glorified the God of Israel.

¹⁴ And there came to him blind and lame men in the temple, and he healed them,

³² and they bring to him a deaf, stuttering man, and they call on him that he may put the hand on him. ³³ And having taken him away from the multitude by himself, he put his fingers to his ears, and having spit, he touched his tongue, ³⁴ and having looked to the heaven, he sighed, and said to him, 'Ephphasa,' that is, 'Be you opened;' ³⁵ and immediately were his ears opened, and the string of his tongue was loosed, and he was speaking plain. ³⁶ And he charged them that they may tell no one, but the more he was charging them, the more abundantly they were proclaiming it, ³⁷ and they were being beyond measure astonished, saying, 'Well has he done all things; both the deaf he does make to hear, and the dumb to speak.'

¹⁸ 'The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, Because He did anoint me; To proclaim good news to the poor, Sent me to heal the broken of heart, To proclaim to captives deliverance, And to blind receiving of sight, To send away the bruised with deliverance,

¹² And it came to pass, in his being in one of the cities, that lo, a man full of leprosy, and having seen Jesus, having fallen on his face, he besought him, saying, 'Sir, if you may will, you are able to cleanse me;' ¹³ and having stretched forth his hand, he touched him, having said, 'I will; be you cleansed;' and immediately the leprosy went away from him. ¹⁴ And he charged him to tell no one, 'But, having gone away, show yourself to the priest, and bring near for your cleansing according as Moses directed, for a testimony to them;' ¹⁵ but the more was the report going abroad concerning him, and great multitudes were coming together to hear, and to be healed by him of their infirmities,

¹⁴ and having come near, he touched the bier, and those bearing it stood still, and he said, 'Young man, to you I say, Arise;' ¹⁵ and the dead sat up, and began to speak, and he gave him to his mother;

²¹ And in that hour he cured many from sicknesses, and plagues, and evil spirits, and to many blind he granted sight.

⁵³ and they were deriding him, knowing that she did die;

¹² and he entering into a certain village, there met him ten leprous men, who stood afar off, ¹³ and they lifted up the voice, saying, 'Jesus, master, deal kindly with us;' ¹⁴ and having seen them, he said to them, 'Having gone on, show yourselves to the priests;' and it came to pass, in their going, they were cleansed, ¹⁵ and one of them having seen that he was healed did turn back, with a loud voice glorifying God, ¹⁶ and he fell upon his face at his feet, giving thanks to him, and he was a Samaritan. ¹⁷ And Jesus answering said, 'Were not the ten cleansed, and the nine -- where? ¹⁸ There were not found who did turn back to give glory to God, except this alien;' ¹⁹ and he said to him, 'Having risen, be going on, your faith has saved you.'

³⁵ And it came to pass, in his coming near to Jericho, a certain blind man was sitting beside the way begging, ³⁶ and having heard a multitude going by, he was inquiring what this may be, ³⁷ and they brought him word that Jesus the Nazarene does pass by, ³⁸ and he cried out, saying, 'Jesus, Son of David, deal kindly with me;' ³⁹ and those going before were rebuking him, that he might be silent, but he was much more crying out, 'Son of David, deal kindly with me.' ⁴⁰ And Jesus having stood, commanded him to be brought unto him, and he having come near, he questioned him, ⁴¹ saying, 'What will you I shall do to you?' and he said, 'Sir, that I may receive sight.' ⁴² And Jesus said to him, 'Receive your sight; your faith has saved you;' ⁴³ and presently he did receive sight, and was following him, glorifying God; and all the people, having seen, did give praise to God.

⁴⁶ and Nathanael said to him, 'Out of Nazareth is any good thing able to be?' Philip said to him, 'Come and see.'

³⁰ The man answered and said to them, 'Why, in this is a wonderful thing, that you have not known whence he is, and he opened my eyes! ³¹ and we have known that God does not hear sinners, but, if any one may be a worshipper of God, and may do His will, him He does hear; ³² from the age it was not heard, that any one did open eyes of one who has been born blind; ³³ if this one were not from God, he were not able to do anything.'

² and a certain man, being lame from the womb of his mother, was being carried, whom they were laying every day at the gate of the temple, called Beautiful, to ask a kindness from those entering into the temple, ³ who, having seen Peter and John about to go into the temple, was begging to receive a kindness. ⁴ And Peter, having looked stedfastly toward him with John, said, 'Look toward us;' ⁵ and he was giving heed to them, looking to receive something from them; ⁶ and Peter said, 'Silver and gold I have none, but what I have, that I give to you; in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and be walking.' ⁷ And having seized him by the right hand, he raised him up, and presently his feet and ankles were strengthened, ⁸ and springing up, he stood, and was walking, and did enter with them into the temple, walking and springing, and praising God;

⁷ for unclean spirits came forth from many who were possessed, crying with a loud voice, and many who have been paralytic and lame were healed,

⁸ And a certain man in Lystra, impotent in the feet, was sitting, being lame from the womb of his mother -- who never had walked, ⁹ this one was hearing Paul speaking, who, having stedfastly beheld him, and having seen that he has faith to be saved, ¹⁰ said with a loud voice, 'Stand up on your feet upright;' and he was springing and walking,

¹⁸ to open their eyes, to turn them from darkness to light, and from the authority of the Adversary unto God, for their receiving forgiveness of sins, and a lot among those having been sanctified, by faith that is toward me.

⁵ Hearken, my brethren beloved, did not God choose the poor of this world, rich in faith, and heirs of the reign that He promised to those loving Him?

⁶ and blessed is he who may not be stumbled in me.'

⁵⁷ And they were stumbled at him. And Jesus said to them, 'A prophet is not without honor except in his own country, and in his own house:' ⁵⁸ and he did not there many mighty works, because of their unbelief.

³⁴ and Simeon blessed them, and said unto Mary his mother, 'Lo, this one is set for the falling and rising again of many in Israel, and for a sign spoken against --

⁶⁰ many, therefore, of his disciples having heard, said, 'This word is hard; who is able to hear it?' ⁶¹ And Jesus having known in himself that his disciples are murmuring about this, said to them, 'Does this stumble you? ⁶² if then you may behold the Son of Man going up where he was before? ⁶³ the spirit it is that is giving life; the flesh does not profit anything; the sayings that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life; ⁶⁴ but there are certain of you who do not believe;' for Jesus had known from the beginning who they are who are not believing, and who is he who will deliver him up, ⁶⁵ and he said, 'Because of this I have said to you -- No one is able to come unto me, if it may not have been given him from my Father.' ⁶⁶ From this time many of his disciples went away backward, and were no more walking with him,

³² therefore? because -- not by faith, but as by works of law; for they did stumble at the stone of stumbling, ³³ according as it has been written, 'Lo, I place in Sion a stone of stumbling and a rock of offence; and every one who is believing thereon shall not be ashamed.'

²¹ for, seeing in the wisdom of God the world through the wisdom knew not God, it did please God through the foolishness of the preaching to save those believing. ²² Since also Jews ask a sign, and Greeks seek wisdom, ²³ also we -- we preach Christ crucified, to Jews, indeed, a stumbling-block, and to Greeks foolishness, ²⁴ and to those called -- both Jews and Greeks -- Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God, ²⁵ because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men; ²⁶ for see your calling, brethren, that not many are wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble; ²⁷ but the foolish things of the world did God choose, that the wise He may put to shame; and the weak things of the world did God choose that He may put to shame the strong; ²⁸ and the base things of the world, and the things despised did God choose, and the things that are not, that the things that are He may make useless --

¹⁴ and the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for to him they are foolishness, and he is not able to know them, because spiritually they are discerned;

⁷ to you, then, who are believing is the preciousness; and to the unbelieving, a stone that the builders disapproved of, this one did become for the head of a corner, ⁸ and a stone of stumbling and a rock of offence -- who are stumbling at the word, being unbelieving, -- to which also they were set;

¹ And in those days comes John the Baptist, proclaiming in the wilderness of Judea, ² and saying, 'Reform, for come near has the reign of the heavens,' ³ for this is he who was spoken of by Isaiah the prophet, saying, 'A voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare you the way of the Lord, straight make you His paths.' ⁴ And this John had his clothing of camel's hair, and a girdle of skin round his loins, and his nourishment was locusts and honey of the field. ⁵ Then were going forth unto him Jerusalem, and all Judea, and all the region round about the Jordan,

⁷ And as they are going, Jesus began to say to the multitudes concerning John, 'What went you out to the wilderness to view? -- A reed shaken by the wind? ⁸ 'But what went you out to see? -- A man clothed in soft garments? Lo, those wearing the soft things are in the kings' houses.

⁴ John came baptizing in the wilderness, and proclaiming a baptism of reformation -- to remission of sins, ⁵ and there were going forth to him all the region of Judea, and they of Jerusalem, and they were all baptized by him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins.

⁸⁰ And the child grew, and was strengthened in spirit, and he was in the deserts till the day of his showing unto Israel.

² Annas and Caiaphas being chief priests -- there came a word of God unto John the son of Zacharias, in the wilderness,

²³ He said, 'I am a voice of one crying in the wilderness: Make straight the way of the Lord, as said Isaiah the prophet.'

¹⁷ This, therefore, counselling, did I then use the lightness; or the things that I counsel, according to the flesh do I counsel, that it may be with me Yes, yes, and No, no? ¹⁸ and God is faithful, that our word unto you became not Yes and No, ¹⁹ for the Son of God, Jesus Christ, among you through us having been preached -- through me and Silvanus and Timotheus -- did not become Yes and No, but in him it has become Yes; ²⁰ for as many as are promises of God, in him are the Yes, and in him the Amen, for glory to God through us;

¹⁴ that we may no more be babes\'7binfants\'7d, tossed and borne about by every wind of the teaching, in the sleight\'7bwiles\'7d of men, in craftiness\'7bslyness\'7d, unto the artifice\'7bscheming\'7d of leading astray,

⁶ and let him ask in faith, nothing doubting, for he who is doubting has been like a wave of the sea, driven by wind and tossed, ⁷ for let not that man suppose that he shall receive anything from the Lord -- ⁸ a two-souled man is unstable in all his ways.

¹⁷ These are wells without water, and clouds by a tempest driven, to whom the thick gloom of the darkness to the age has been kept;

¹⁷ You, then, beloved, knowing before, take heed, lest, together with the error of the impious being led away, you may fall from your own stedfastness,

⁴ And this John had his clothing of camel's hair, and a girdle of skin round his loins, and his nourishment was locusts and honey of the field.

²⁹ and I say to you, that not even Solomon in all his glory was arrayed as one of these.

³ whose adorning -- let it not be that which is outward, of plaiting of hair, and of putting around of things of gold, or of putting on of garments, ⁴ but -- the hidden man of the heart, in the incorruptible thing of the meek and quiet spirit, which is, before God, of great price,

⁹ 'But what went you out to see? -- A prophet? Yes, I say to you, and more than a prophet, ¹⁰ for this is he of whom it has been written, Lo, I do send My messenger before your face, who shall prepare your way before you. ¹¹ Verily I say to you, there has not risen, among those born of women, a greater than John the Baptist, but he who is least in the reign of the heavens is greater than he. ¹² 'And, from the days of John the Baptist till now, the reign of the heavens does suffer violence, and violent men do take it by force, ¹³ for all the prophets and the law till John did prophesy, ¹⁴ and if you are willing to receive it, he is Elijah who was about to come;

⁷⁶ And you, child, Prophet of the Highest Shall you be called; For you shall go before the face of the Lord, To prepare His ways.

¹⁶ the law and the prophets are till John; since then the reign of God is proclaimed good news, and every one does press into it;

⁶ and if we may say, From men, all the people will stone us, for they are having been persuaded John to be a prophet.'

²⁶ and they came unto John, and said to him, 'Rabbi, he who was with you beyond the Jordan, to whom you did testify, lo, this one is baptizing, and all are coming unto him.' ²⁷ John answered and said, 'A man is not able to receive anything, if it may not have been given him from the heaven; ²⁸ you yourselves do testify to me that I said, I am not the Christ, but, that I am having been sent before him; ²⁹ he who is having the bride is bridegroom, and the friend of the bridegroom, who is standing and hearing him, with joy does rejoice because of the voice of the bridegroom; this, then, my joy has been fulfilled. ³⁰ 'Him it behooves to increase, and me to become less;

³⁵ he was the burning and shining lamp, and you did will to be glad, for an hour, in his light.

¹⁰ for this is he of whom it has been written, Lo, I do send My messenger before your face, who shall prepare your way before you.

² As it has been written in the prophets, 'Lo, I send My messenger before your face, who shall prepare your way\'7bwho shall engineer your road\'7d before you,' --

¹⁵ for he shall be great before the Lord, and wine and strong drink he may not drink, and of the Holy Spirit he shall be full, even from his mother's womb; ¹⁶ and many of the sons of Israel he shall turn to the Lord their God, ¹⁷ and he shall go before Him, in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn hearts of fathers unto children, and disobedient ones to the wisdom of righteous ones, to make ready for the Lord, a people prepared.'

¹¹ Verily I say to you, there has not risen, among those born of women, a greater than John the Baptist, but he who is least in the reign of the heavens is greater than he.

¹⁶ 'And blessed are your eyes because they see, and your ears because they hear, ¹⁷ for verily I say to you, that many prophets and righteous men did desire to see that which you look on, and they did not see, and to hear that which you hear, and they did not hear.

¹⁴ and there shall be joy to you, and gladness, and many at his birth shall joy, ¹⁵ for he shall be great before the Lord, and wine and strong drink he may not drink, and of the Holy Spirit he shall be full, even from his mother's womb;

¹⁶ John answered, saying to all, 'I indeed with water do baptize you, but he comes who is mightier than I, of whom I am not worthy to loose the latchet of his sandals -- he shall baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire;

⁴⁸ and said to them, 'Whoever may receive this child in my name, does receive me, and whoever may receive me, does receive Him who sent me, for he who is least among you all -- he shall be great.'

²³ And having turned unto the disciples, he said, by themselves, 'Happy the eyes that are perceiving what you perceive; ²⁴ for I say to you, that many prophets and kings did wish to see what you perceive, and did not see, and to hear what you hear, and did not hear.'

⁸ to me -- the less than the least of all the saints -- was given this grace, among the nations to proclaim good news -- the untraceable riches of the Christ, ⁹ and to cause all to see what is the fellowship\'7bMT reads "administration"\'7d of the secret that has been hid from the ages in God, who the all things did create by Jesus Christ,

²⁵ of which I -- I did become a minister according to the dispensation of God, that was given to me for you, to fulfil the word of God, ²⁶ the secret that has been hid from the ages and from the generations, but now was manifested to his saints, ²⁷ to whom God did will to make known what is the riches of the glory of this secret among the nations -- which is Christ in you, the hope of the glory,

³⁹ and these all, having been testified to through the faith, did not receive the promise, ⁴⁰ God for us something better having provided, that apart from us they might not be made perfect.

¹⁰ concerning which salvation seek out and search out did prophets who concerning the grace toward you did prophecy, ¹¹ searching in regard to what or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ that was in them was manifesting, testifying beforehand the sufferings of Christ and the glory after these, ¹² to whom it was revealed, that not to themselves, but to us they were ministering these, which now were told to you (through those who did proclaim good news to you,) in the Holy Spirit sent from heaven, to which things messengers do desire to bend looking.

⁵ Then were going forth unto him Jerusalem, and all Judea, and all the region round about the Jordan, ⁶ and they were baptized in the Jordan by him, confessing their sins.

³¹ which of the two did the will of the father?' They say to him, 'The first.' Jesus said to them, 'Verily I say to you, that the tax-gatherers and the harlots do go before you into the reign of God, ³² for John came unto you in the way of righteousness, and you did not believe him, and the tax-gatherers and the harlots did believe him, and you, having seen, repented not at last -- to believe him.

¹² And there came also tax-gatherers to be baptized, and they said unto him, 'Teacher, what shall we do?'

³⁵ and the wisdom was justified from all her children.'

²⁵ this one was instructed in the way of the Lord, and being fervent in the Spirit, was speaking and teaching exactly the things about the Lord, knowing only the baptism of John;

³ and he said unto them, 'To what, then, were you baptized?' and they said, 'To John's baptism.'

⁴ let it not be! and let God become true, and every man false, according as it has been written, 'That You may be declared righteous in Your words, and may overcome in Your being judged.' ⁵ And, if our unrighteousness God's righteousness does establish, what shall we say? is God unrighteous who is inflicting the wrath? (after the manner of a man I speak) ⁶ let it not be! since how shall God judge the world?

³ for not knowing the righteousness of God, and their own righteousness seeking to establish, to the righteousness of God they did not submit.

³ and they sing the song of Moses, servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, 'Great and wonderful are Your works, O Lord God, the Almighty, righteous and true are Your ways, O King of saints,

⁵ and I heard the messenger of the waters, saying, 'righteous, O Lord, are You, who is, and who was, and who shall be, because these things You did judge,

³⁵ and one of them, a lawyer, did question, tempting him, and saying,

³⁴ 'Jerusalem, Jerusalem, that is killing the prophets, and stoning those sent unto her, how often did I will to gather together your children, as a hen her brood under the wings, and you did not will.

²⁷ for I did not keep back from declaring to you all the counsel of God.

²¹ and unto Israel He says, 'All the day I did stretch out My hands unto a people unbelieving and gainsaying.'

¹ And working together also we call upon you that you receive not in vain the grace of God --

²¹ I do not make void the grace of God, for if righteousness be through law -- then Christ died in vain.

¹¹ in whom also we did obtain an inheritance, being foreordained\'7bappointed beforehand, pre-selected\'7d according to the purpose of Him who the all things is working according to the counsel\'7bdesire\'7d of His will,

³⁰ And he said, ' To what may we liken the reign of God, or in what simile may we compare it?

²⁵ sufficient to the disciple that he may be as his teacher, and the servant as his lord; if the master of the house they did call Beelzeboul, how much more those of his household?

⁶ And John was clothed with camel's hair, and a girdle of skin around his loins, and eating locusts and honey of the field,

¹⁵ for he shall be great before the Lord, and wine and strong drink he may not drink, and of the Holy Spirit he shall be full, even from his mother's womb;

⁴⁸ The Jews, therefore, answered and said to him, 'Do we not say well, that you are a Samaritan, and have a demon?'

⁵² The Jews, therefore, said to him, 'Now we have known that you have a demon; Abraham did die, and the prophets, and you do say, If any one may keep my word, he shall not taste of death -- to the age!

²⁰ and many of them said, 'He has a demon, and is mad, why do you hear him?'

¹³ and others mocking said, -- 'They are full of sweet wine;'

¹¹ and the Pharisees having seen, said to his disciples, 'Why with the tax-gatherers and sinners does your teacher eat?'

²⁹ And Levi made a great entertainment to him in his house, and there was a great multitude of tax-gatherers and others who were with them reclining (at meat),

³⁶ And a certain one of the Pharisees was asking him that he might eat with him, and having gone into the house of the Pharisee he reclined (at meat),

³⁷ And in his speaking, a certain Pharisee was asking him that he might dine with him, and having gone in, he reclined (at meat),

¹ And it came to pass, on his going into the house of a certain one of the chiefs of the Pharisees, on a sabbath, to eat bread, that they were watching him,

² and the Pharisees and the scribes were murmuring, saying -- This one does receive sinners, and does eat with them.'

⁷ and having seen it, they were all murmuring, saying -- 'With a sinful man he went in to lodge!'

² and also Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the marriage;

² they made, therefore, to him a supper there, and Martha was ministering, and Lazarus was one of those reclining together (at meat) with him;

¹⁹ the Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, Lo, a man, a glutton, and a wine-drinker, a friend of tax-gatherers and sinners, and wisdom was justified of her children.'

²⁹ And all the people having heard, and the tax-gatherers, declared God righteous, having been baptized with the baptism of John,

¹⁴ and the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for to him they are foolishness, and he is not able to know them, because spiritually they are discerned; ¹⁵ and he who is spiritual, does discern indeed all things, and he himself is by no one discerned;

⁵ and they said, 'Not in the feast, that there may not be a tumult among the people.' ⁶ And Jesus having been in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper,

³ And he, being in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper, at his reclining (at meat), there came a woman having an alabaster box of ointment, of spikenard, very precious, and having broken the alabaster box, did pour on his head; ⁴ and there were certain much displeased within themselves, and saying, 'For what has this waste of the ointment been made? ⁵ for this could have been sold for more than three hundred denaries, and given to the poor;' and they were murmuring at her. ⁶ And Jesus said, 'Let her alone; why are you giving her trouble? a good work she wrought on me; ⁷ for the poor always you have with you, and whenever you may will you are able to do them good, but me you have not always; ⁸ what she could she did, she anticipated to anoint my body for the embalming. ⁹ Verily I say to you, wherever this good news may be proclaimed in the whole world, what also this woman did shall be spoken of -- for a memorial of her.'

³⁴ the Son of Man came eating and drinking, and you say, Lo, a man, a glutton, and a wine drinker, a friend of tax-gatherers and sinners;

² and it was Mary who did anoint the Lord with ointment, and did wipe his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was ailing -- ³ therefore sent the sisters unto him, saying, 'Sir, lo, he whom you do love is ailing;' ⁴ and Jesus having heard, said, 'This ailment is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God may be glorified through it.' ⁵ And Jesus was loving Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus, ⁶ when, therefore, he heard that he is ailing, then indeed he remained in the place in which he was two days, ⁷ then after this, he said to the disciples, 'We may go to Judea again;' ⁸ the disciples say to him, 'Rabbi, now were the Jews seeking to stone you, and again you do go thither!' ⁹ Jesus answered, 'Are there not twelve hours in the day? if any one may walk in the day, he does not stumble, because the light of this world he does see; ¹⁰ and if any one may walk in the night, he stumbles, because the light is not in him.' ¹¹ These things he said, and after this he said to them, 'Lazarus our friend has fallen asleep, but I go on that I may awake him;' ¹² therefore said his disciples, 'Sir, if he has fallen asleep, he will be saved;' ¹³ but Jesus had spoken about his death, but they thought that about the repose of sleep he speaks. ¹⁴ Then, therefore, Jesus said to them freely, 'Lazarus has died; ¹⁵ and I rejoice, for your sake, (that you may believe,) that I was not there; but we may go to him;' ¹⁶ therefore said Thomas, who is called Didymus, to the fellow-disciples, 'We may go -- we also, that we may die with him,'

³¹ which of the two did the will of the father?' They say to him, 'The first.' Jesus said to them, 'Verily I say to you, that the tax-gatherers and the harlots do go before you into the reign of God,

⁶ And Jesus having been in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper, ⁷ there came to him a woman having an alabaster box of ointment, very precious, and she poured on his head as he is reclining (at meat). ⁸ And having seen it, his disciples were much displeased, saying, 'To what purpose is this waste? ⁹ For this ointment could have been sold for much, and given to the poor.' ¹⁰ And Jesus having known, said to them, 'Why do you give trouble to the woman? For a good work she wrought for me; ¹¹ for the poor always you have with you, and me you have not always; ¹² for she having put this ointment on my body -- for my burial she did it. ¹³ Verily I say to you, Wherever this good news may be proclaimed in the whole world, what this one did shall also be spoken of -- for a memorial of her.'

³⁰ and the scribes and the Pharisees among them were murmuring at his disciples, saying, 'Therefore with tax-gatherers and sinners do you eat and drink?'

³² I came not to call righteous men, but sinners, to reformation.'

³⁷ and lo, a woman in the city, who was a sinner, having known that he reclines (at meat) in the house of the Pharisee, having provided an alabaster box of ointment, ³⁸ and having stood behind, beside his feet, weeping, she began to wet his feet with the tears, and with the hairs of her head she was wiping, and was kissing his feet, and was anointing with the ointment. ³⁹ And the Pharisee who did call him, having seen, spake within himself, saying, 'This one, if he were a prophet, would have known who and of what kind is the woman who does touch him, that she is a sinner.'

¹³ 'And the tax-gatherer, having stood afar off, would not even the eyes lift up to the heaven, but was smiting on his breast, saying, God be propitious to me -- the sinner!

²⁴ They called, therefore, a second time the man who was blind, and they said to him, 'Give glory to God, we have known that this man is a sinner;'

³¹ and we have known that God does not hear sinners, but, if any one may be a worshipper of God, and may do His will, him He does hear;

¹ Jesus, therefore, six days before the passover, came to Bethany, where was Lazarus, who had died, whom he raised out of the dead; ² they made, therefore, to him a supper there, and Martha was ministering, and Lazarus was one of those reclining together (at meat) with him; ³ Mary, therefore, having taken a pound of ointment of spikenard, of great price, anointed the feet of Jesus and did wipe with her hair his feet, and the house was filled from the fragrance of the ointment. ⁴ Therefore said one of his disciples -- Judas Iscariot, of Simon, who is about to deliver him up -- ⁵ 'Therefore was not this ointment sold for three hundred denaries, and given to the poor?' ⁶ and he said this, not because he was caring for the poor, but because he was a thief, and had the bag, and what things were put in he was carrying. ⁷ Jesus, therefore, said, 'Suffer her; for the day of my embalming she has kept it, ⁸ for the poor you have always with yourselves, and me you have not always.'

⁸ and God does commend His own love to us, that, in our being still sinners, Christ did die for us;

⁹ having known this, that for a righteous man law is not set, but for lawless and insubordinate persons, ungodly and sinners, impious and profane, parricides and matricides, men-slayers,

¹⁵ stedfast is the word, and of all acceptation worthy, that Christ Jesus came to the world to save sinners -- first of whom I am;

¹⁸ And if the righteous man is scarcely saved, the ungodly and sinner -- where shall he appear?

⁴ 'Blessed the mourning -- because they shall be comforted.

²¹ 'Happy those hungering now -- because ye shall be filled. 'Happy those weeping now -- because you shall laugh.

⁴⁴ And having turned unto the woman, he said to Simon, 'See you this woman? I entered into your house; water for my feet you did not give, but this woman with tears did wet my feet, and with the hairs of her head did wipe; ⁴⁵ a kiss to me you did not give, but this woman, from what time I came in, did not cease kissing my feet; ⁴⁶ with oil my head you did not anoint, but this woman with ointment did anoint my feet;

⁶² and Peter having gone without, wept bitterly.

⁴ does rise from the supper, and does lay down his garments, and having taken a towel, he girded himself; ⁵ afterward he putts water into the basin, and began to wash the feet of his disciples, and to wipe with the towel with which he was being girded.

¹⁰ for the sorrow toward God reformation to salvation not to be repented of does work, and the sorrow of the world does work death, ¹¹ for, lo, this same thing -- your being made sorry toward God -- how much diligence it does work in you! but defence, but displeasure, but fear, but longing desire, but zeal, but revenge; in every thing you did approve yourselves to be pure in the matter.

⁹ be exceeding afflicted, and mourn, and weep, let your laughter to mourning be turned, and the joy to heaviness;

¹² And Jesus having heard, said to them, 'They who are whole have no need of a physician, but they who are ill; ¹³ but having gone, learn you what is, Kindness I will, and not sacrifice, for I did not come to call righteous men, but sinners, to reformation.'

¹⁶ So the last shall be first, and the first last, for many are called, and few chosen.'

²⁸ 'And what think you? A man had two children, and having come to the first, he said, Child, go, to-day be working in my vineyard.' ²⁹ And he answering said, 'I will not,' but at last, having repented, he went. ³⁰ 'And having come to the second, he said in the same manner, and he answering said, I go, sir, and went not; ³¹ which of the two did the will of the father?' They say to him, 'The first.' Jesus said to them, 'Verily I say to you, that the tax-gatherers and the harlots do go before you into the reign of God,

⁶ And there were certain of the scribes there sitting, and reasoning in their hearts, ⁷ 'Why does this one thus speak evil words? who is able to forgive sins except one -- God?'

²¹ for from within, out of the heart of men, the evil reasonings do come forth, adulteries, whoredoms, murders,

⁸ make, therefore, fruits worthy of the reformation, and begin not to say within yourselves, We have a father -- Abraham; for I say to you, that God is able out of these stones to raise children to Abraham;

¹⁶ and fear took hold of all, and they were glorifying God, saying -- 'A great prophet has risen among us,' and -- 'God did look upon His people.'

³⁷ and lo, a woman in the city, who was a sinner, having known that he reclines (at meat) in the house of the Pharisee, having provided an alabaster box of ointment,

¹⁷ and he was reasoning within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have not where I shall gather together my fruits?

²⁸ 'And he was angry, and would not go in, therefore his father, having come forth, was entreating him; ²⁹ and he answering said to the father, Lo, so many years I do serve you, and never your command did I transgress, and to me you did never give a kid, that with my friends I might make merry; ³⁰ but when your son -- this one who did devour your living with harlots -- came, you did kill to him the fatted calf.

³ 'And the steward said in himself, What shall I do, because my lord does take away the stewardship from me? to dig I am not able, to beg I am ashamed: --

⁴ and he would not for a time, but after these things he said in himself, Even if God I do not fear, and man do not regard,

⁹ And he spake also unto certain who have been trusting in themselves that they were righteous, and have been despising the rest, this simile: ¹⁰ 'Two men went up to the temple to pray, the one a Pharisee, and the other a tax-gatherer; ¹¹ the Pharisee having stood by himself, thus prayed: God, I thank You that I am not as the rest of men, rapacious, unrighteous, adulterers, or even as this tax-gatherer;

¹² and there was much murmuring about him among the multitudes, some indeed said -- 'He is good;' and others said, 'No, but he leads astray the multitude;'

⁴⁷ The Pharisees, therefore, answered them, 'Have you also been led astray? ⁴⁸ did any one out of the rulers believe in him? or out of the Pharisees? ⁴⁹ but this multitude, that is not knowing the law, is accursed.' ⁵⁰ Nicodemus said unto them -- he who came by night unto him -- being one of them, ⁵¹ 'Does our law judge the man, if it may not hear from him first, and know what he does?' ⁵² They answered and said to him, 'Art you also out of Galilee? search and see, that a prophet out of Galilee has not risen;'

²² Many will say to me in that day, Lord, lord, have we not in your name prophesied? And in your name cast out demons? And in your name done many mighty things?

⁴⁹ and immediately, having come to Jesus, he said, 'Hail, Rabbi,' and kissed him;

²² And Jesus having known their reasonings, answering, said unto them, 'What reason you in your hearts?

³¹ And Jesus answering said unto them, 'They who are well have no need of a physician, but they that are ill:

⁸ And he himself had known their reasonings, and said to the man having the withered hand, 'Rise, and stand in the midst;' and he having risen, stood.

¹⁸ And a certain ruler questioned him, saying, 'Good teacher, what having done -- shall I inherit life age-during?'

²⁰ And, having watched him, they sent forth liers in wait, feigning themselves to be righteous, that they might take hold of his word, to deliver him up to the rule and to the authority of the governor, ²¹ and they questioned him, saying, 'Teacher, we have known that you do say and teach rightly, and do not accept a person, but in truth the way of God do teach;

² this one came unto him by night, and said to him, 'Rabbi, we have known that from God you have come -- a teacher, for no one these signs is able to do that you do, if God may not be with him.'

¹³ you call me, The Teacher and The Lord, and you say well, for I am;

¹⁹ Jesus, therefore, knew that they were wishing to ask him, and he said to them, 'Concerning this do you seek one with another, because I said, A little while, and you do not behold me, and again a little while, and you shall see me?

³⁰ now we have known that you have known all things, and have no need that any one do question you; in this we believe that from God you did come forth.'

¹² 'And forgive us our debts, as also we forgive our debtors.

²³ 'Because of this was the reign of the heavens likened to a man, a king, who did will to take reckoning with his servants, ²⁴ and he having begun to take account, there was brought near to him one debtor of a myriad of talents, ²⁵ and he having nothing to pay, his lord did command him to be sold, and his wife, and the children, and all, whatever he had, and payment to be made.

²⁸ 'And, that servant having come forth, found one of his fellow-servants who was owing him an hundred denaries, and having laid hold, he took him by the throat, saying, Pay me that which you owe.

⁴⁷ therefore I say to you, her many sins have been forgiven, because she did love much; but to whom little is forgiven, little he does love.'

⁴ and forgive us our sins, for also we ourselves forgive every one indebted to us; and may You not bring us into temptation; but do You deliver us from the evil.'

⁴⁸ and he who, not having known, and having done things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few; and to every one to whom much was given, much shall be required from him; and to whom they did commit much, more abundantly they will ask of him.

⁴ 'Or those eighteen, on whom the tower in Siloam fell, and killed them; think you that these became debtors beyond all men who are dwelling in Jerusalem?

²² if I had not come and spoken to them, they were not having sin; but now pretext they have not for their sin. ²³ 'He who is hating me, does hate also my Father; ²⁴ if I did not do among them the works that no other has done, they were not having sin, and now they have both seen and hated both me and my Father;

²³ for all did sin, and are come short of the glory of God --

²⁰ And law came in, that the offence might abound, and where the sin did abound, the grace did overabound,

¹⁵ stedfast is the word, and of all acceptation worthy, that Christ Jesus came to the world to save sinners -- first of whom I am; ¹⁶ but because of this I found kindness, that in me first Jesus Christ might show forth all long-suffering, for a pattern of those about to believe on him to life age-during:

⁸ if we may say -- 'we have not sin,' ourselves we lead astray, and the truth is not in us; ⁹ if we may confess our sins, steadfast He is and righteous that He may forgive us the sins, and may cleanse us from every unrighteousness; ¹⁰ if we may say -- 'we have not sinned,' a liar we make Him, and His word is not in us.

²⁵ and he having nothing to pay, his lord did command him to be sold, and his wife, and the children, and all, whatever he had, and payment to be made. ²⁶ The servant then, having fallen down, was bowing to him, saying, Sir, have patience with me, and I will pay you all;

³⁴ 'And having been enraged, his lord delivered him to the inquisitors, till he might pay all that was owing to him;

³⁸ 'Let it therefore be known to you, men, brethren, that through this one to you is the forgiveness of sins declared, ³⁹ and from all things from which you were not able in the law of Moses to be declared righteous, in this one every one who is believing is declared righteous;

²⁴ being declared righteous freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus,

⁵ and to him who is not working, and is believing upon Him who is declaring righteous the impious, his faith is reckoned -- to righteousness: ⁶ even as David also does speak of the happiness of the man to whom God does reckon righteousness apart from works: ⁷ 'Happy they whose lawless acts were forgiven, and whose sins were covered; ⁸ happy the man to whom the Lord may not reckon sin.'

⁶ For in our being still ailing, Christ in due time did die for the impious;

¹⁰ for as many as are of works of law are under a curse, for it has been written, 'Cursed is every one who is not remaining in all things that have been written in the Book of the Law -- to do them,'

⁷ in whom we have the redemption\'7bliberation\'7d through his blood, the remission\'7bpardoning\'7d of the trespasses, according to the riches of His grace,

³² and become one to another kind, tender-hearted\'7bcompassionate\'7d, forgiving one another, according as also God in Christ did forgive you\'7bMT reads "us"\'7d.

¹³ forbearing one another, and forgiving each other, if any one with any one may have a quarrel, as also the Christ did forgive you -- so also you;

³⁴ And Jesus, having seen him that he answered with understanding, said to him, 'You are not far from the reign of God;' and no one any more did question him.

³⁸ And it came to pass, in their going on, that he entered into a certain village, and a certain woman, by name Martha, did receive him into her house,

⁹ for I am the least of the apostles, who am not worthy to be called an apostle, because I did persecute the assembly of God, ¹⁰ and by the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace that is towards me came not in vain, but more abundantly than they all did I labour, yet not I, but the grace of God that is with me;

¹⁴ for the love of the Christ does constrain us, having judged thus: that if one for all died, then the whole died, ¹⁵ and for all he died, that those living, no more to themselves may live, but to him who died for them, and was raised again.

¹³ who before was speaking evil, and persecuting, and insulting, but I found kindness, because, being ignorant, I did it in unbelief, ¹⁴ and exceedingly abound did the grace of our Lord, with faith and love that is in Christ Jesus:

¹⁰ in good works being testified to: if she brought up children, if she entertained strangers, if saints' feet she washed, if those in tribulation she relieved, if every good work she followed after;

⁶ and you did dishonour the poor one; do not the rich oppress you and themselves draw you to judgment-seats;

⁴⁸ And he who did deliver him up did give them a sign, saying, 'Whomsoever I will kiss, it is he: lay hold on him;'

¹⁶ salute one another in a holy kiss; the assemblies of Christ do salute you.

²⁰ salute you do all the brethren; salute you one another in an holy kiss.

²⁶ salute all the brethren in an holy kiss;

¹⁷ 'But you, fasting, anoint your head, and wash your face,

³⁷ 'He who is loving father or mother above me, is not worthy of me, and he who is loving son or daughter above me, is not worthy of me,

²⁰ and he having seen their faith, said to him, 'Man, your sins have been forgiven you.' ²¹ And the scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, 'Who is this that does speak evil words? who is able to forgive sins, except God only?'

⁴² and they not having wherewith to give back, he forgave both; which then of them, say you, will love him more?' ⁴³ And Simon answering said, 'I suppose that to whom he forgave the more;' and he said to him, 'Rightly you did judge.'

¹⁵ When, therefore, they dined, Jesus said to Simon Peter, 'Simon, son of Jonas, do you love me more than these?' he said to him, 'Yes, Lord; you have known that I dearly love you;' he said to him, 'Feed my lambs.' ¹⁶ He said to him again, a second time, 'Simon, son of Jonas, do you love me?' he said to him, 'Yes, Lord; you have known that I dearly love you;' he said to him, 'Tend my sheep.' ¹⁷ He said to him the third time, 'Simon, son of Jonas, do you dearly love me?' Peter was grieved that he said to him the third time, 'Do you dearly love me?' and he said to him, 'Lord, you have known all things; you do know that I dearly love you.' Jesus said to him, 'Feed my sheep;

³¹ this one God, a Prince and a Saviour, has exalted with His right hand, to give reformation to Israel, and forgiveness of sins;

⁹ have you not known that the unrighteous the reign of God shall not inherit? be not led astray; neither whoremongers, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor sodomites, ¹⁰ nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, the reign of God shall inherit. ¹¹ And certain of you were these! but you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were declared righteous, in the name of the Lord Jesus, and in the Spirit of our God.

¹⁴ for the love of the Christ does constrain us, having judged thus: that if one for all died, then the whole died,

²⁴ The grace with all those loving our Lord Jesus Christ -- undecayingly! Amen.

⁹ and this I pray, that your love yet more and more may abound in full knowledge, and all judgment,

¹⁴ and exceedingly abound did the grace of our Lord, with faith and love that is in Christ Jesus:

⁷ and if in the light we may walk, as He is in the light -- we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son does cleanse us from every sin;

¹⁸ My little children, may we not love in word nor in tongue, but in word and in truth!

¹⁹ we -- we love him, because He -- He first loved us;

³ for this is the love of God, that His commands we may keep, and His commands are not burdensome;

² and lo, they were bringing to him a paralytic, laid upon a couch, and Jesus having seen their faith, said to the paralytic, 'Be of good courage, child, your sins have been forgiven you.'

⁵ and Jesus having seen their faith, said to the paralytic, 'Child, your sins have been forgiven you.'

²⁰ and he having seen their faith, said to him, 'Man, your sins have been forgiven you.'

³ And lo, certain of the scribes said within themselves, 'This one does speak evil.'

⁷ 'Why does this one thus speak evil words? who is able to forgive sins except one -- God?'

²² And Jesus having turned about, and having seen her, said, 'Be of good courage, daughter, your faith has saved you,' and the woman was saved from that hour.

⁵² and Jesus said to him, 'Go, your faith has saved you:' and immediately he saw again, and was following Jesus in the way.

¹⁸ 'See, therefore, how you hear, for whoever may have, there shall be given to him, and whoever may not have, also what he seems to have, shall be taken from him.'

⁴⁸ and he said to her, 'Take courage, daughter, your faith has saved you, be going on to peace.'

⁴² And Jesus said to him, 'Receive your sight; your faith has saved you;'

¹ Having been declared righteous, then, by faith, we have peace toward God through our Lord Jesus Christ, ² through whom also we have the access by the faith into this grace in which we have stood, and we boast on the hope of the glory of God.

⁸ for by grace you are having been saved, through faith, and this not of you -- of God the gift, ⁹ not of works, that no one may boast; ¹⁰ for of Him we are workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to good works, which God did before prepare, that in them we may walk.

¹⁴ What is the profit, my brethren, if faith, any one may speak of having, and works he may not have? is that faith able to save him? ¹⁵ and if a brother or sister may be naked, and may be destitute of the daily food, ¹⁶ and any one of you may say to them, 'Depart you in peace, be warmed, and be filled,' and may not give to them the things needful for the body, what is the profit? ¹⁷ so also the faith, if it may not have works, is dead by itself. ¹⁸ But say may some one, You have faith, and I have works, show me thy faith out of thy works, and I will show you out of my works my faith: ¹⁹ you -- you do believe that God is one; you do well, and the demons believe, and they shudder! ²⁰ And do you wish to know, O vain man, that the faith apart from the works is dead? ²¹ Abraham our father -- was not he declared righteous out of works, having brought up Isaac his son upon the altar? ²² do you see that the faith was working with his works, and out of the works the faith was perfected? ²³ and fulfilled was the Writing that is saying, 'And Abraham did believe God, and it was reckoned to him -- to righteousness;' and, 'Friend of God' he was called. ²⁴ You see, then, that out of works is man declared righteous, and not out of faith only; ²⁵ and in like manner also Rahab the harlot -- was she not out of works declared righteous, having received the messengers, and by another way having sent forth? ²⁶ for as the body apart from the spirit is dead, so also the faith apart from the works is dead.
