And he was speechless. ¹³ Then the king said to the servants, Bind his feet and hands, and cast him into the darkness outside. There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. ¹⁴ For many are called, but few chosen. ^{15 (20:4)} Then the Pharisees went and took counsel to ensnare him in his words. ¹⁶ And they sent to him their disciples, with the Herodians, saying, Teacher, we know that you are true, and teach the way of God in truth, and care not for any man; for you regard not the face of men. ¹⁷ Tell us, therefore, what you think; is it right to pay tribute to Caesar or not? ¹⁸ Jesus knowing their wickedness, said, Why do you hypocrites try me? ¹⁹ Show me the tribute money.

God is not a God of the dead, but of the living. ³³ And the multitudes who heard were astonished at his teaching. ^{34 (20:6)} And the Pharisees hearing that he had silenced the Sadducees, were assembled together, ³⁵ and one of them, a lawyer, asked him, to try him, ³⁶ Teacher, what is the great commandment in the law? ³⁷ And he said to him, You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and all your soul, and all your mind. ³⁸ This is the great and first commandment. ³⁹ And the second is like it, You shall love your neighbor as yourself. ⁴⁰ On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets. ^{41 (20:7)} And the Pharisees being assembled together, Jesus asked them, ⁴² saying, What do you think of the Christ? whose son is he? They said to him, David's. ⁴³ He said to them, How then does David in spirit call him Lord, saying, ⁴⁴ The Lord said to my Lord, Sit on my right hand till I make your enemies your footstool? ⁴⁵ If then David calls him Lord, how is he his son? ⁴⁶ And no one was able to answer him a word, neither dared any one after that day to question him farther.

Did you not agree with me for a denarius [14 cents]? ¹⁴ Take what belongs to you, and go, for I will give to the last even as to you. ¹⁵ Is it not right for me to do what I will with my own? Is your eye evil because I am good? ¹⁶ So the last shall be first, and the first last.

For if the mighty works had been done in Tyre and Sidon which have been done in you, they would long ago have changed their minds, sitting in sackcloth and ashes. ¹⁴ But it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in the judgment, than for you. ¹⁵ And you, Capernaum, even to heaven will you be exalted? even to hades shall you be cast down. ¹⁶ He that hears you, hears me; and he that rejects you, rejects me; and he that rejects me, rejects him that sent me.

⁴ or do you despise the riches of his goodness and forbearance and long suffering, not knowing that the goodness of God leads you to a change of mind?

⁶ for the minding of the flesh is death, but the minding of the Spirit is life and peace.

⁹ But those who wish to be rich fall into trial and a snare, and many foolish and injurious desires, which plunge men into destruction and perdition. ¹⁰ For the love of money is a root of all evils, which some having desired have been misled from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

⁴ traitors, rash, boasters, lovers of pleasure more than lovers of God,

³ how shall we escape who have neglected so great a salvation? which began to be spoken by the Lord, and was affirmed to us by those who heard,

¹⁵ Love not the world, nor the things in the world. If any one loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him; ¹⁶ for all that is in the world, the desire of the flesh and the desire of the eyes and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.

¹⁰ Blessed are the persecuted for righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. ¹¹ Blessed are you when they shall reproach you, and persecute you, and say every evil against you, falsely, for my sake. ¹² Rejoice and exult, for great is your reward in heaven; for so persecuted they the prophets who were before you.

¹² And when you go into a house, salute it; ¹³ and if the house is worthy, your blessing shall come upon it; but if the house is not worthy, your blessing shall return to you. ¹⁴ And if any one does not receive you, nor hear your words, when you go out of that house or that city, shake off the dust of your feet. ¹⁵ I tell you truly, it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah in a day of judgment, than for that city. ^{16 (7:2)} Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves; be therefore wise as serpents and harmless as doves. ¹⁷ But beware of men; for they will deliver you to Sanhedrims, and scourge you in their synagogues, ¹⁸ and you shall be brought before governors, and kings, for my sake, for a testimony to them and the nations.

²² and you shall be hated by all men for my sake. But he that endures to the end shall be saved. ²³ And when they persecute you in one city, flee to another. For I tell you truly, that you will not finish the cities of Israel till the Son of man shall come. ^{24 (7:3)} A disciple is not above his teacher, nor a servant above his master. ²⁵ It is sufficient for the disciple to be as his teacher, and the servant as his master. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebul, how much more will they call the members of his family by that name.

³⁵ And the husbandmen took his servants, and beat one, and killed another, and stoned another. ³⁶ Again he sent other servants more than the first; and they treated them in the same manner. ³⁷ And afterwards he sent them his son, saying, They will reverence my son. ³⁸ But when the husbandmen saw the son, they said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him and take his inheritance. ³⁹ And they took him, and cast him out of the vineyard, and killed him.

^{34 (21:4)} Therefore, behold, I send you prophets, and wise men, and scribes. Some of them you will kill and crucify; and some of them you will scourge in your synagogues, and persecute from city to city; ³⁵ that all the righteous blood shed on the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zachariah, son of Bararchiah, whom you killed between the temple and the altar, may come upon you. ³⁶ I tell you truly, that all these [crimes] shall come on this generation. ^{37 (21:5)} Jerusalem, Jerusalem, killing the prophets, and stoning those sent to you, how often would I have gathered your children together, as a bird gathers her brood under her wings, but you would not!

¹⁹ If you were of this world, the world would be a friend to its own; but because you are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. ²⁰ Remember the word which I said to you, a servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my word, they will also keep yours.

² They shall put you out of the synagogues; but the hour is coming when every one that kills you will think he renders God a service. ³ And these things they will do, because they have not known the Father nor me.

^{1 (3:3)} And while they were speaking to the people, the priests, and the commander of the temple, and the Sadducees came upon them, ² being displeased because they taught the people and declared by Jesus the resurrection of the dead; ³ and they laid hands on them and put them in prison till the next day; for it was now evening.

⁴⁰ And they were persuaded by him, and calling the apostles and scourging them, they charged them not to speak in the name of Jesus, and dismissed them. ⁴¹ They went therefore from the presence of the Sanhedrim, rejoicing that they were accounted worthy to suffer shame for the name of [Christ];

⁵¹ Stiff necked, and uncircumcised in heart and ears, you always fight against the Holy Spirit; as your fathers did, you also do. ⁵² Which of the prophets did not your fathers persecute? And they killed those who foretold the coming of the Righteous One, of whom you now have become betrayers and murderers, ⁵³ who have received the law by orders of angels and have not kept it. ^{54 (5:14)} And when they heard these things they were enraged in their minds and gnashed their teeth upon him. ⁵⁵ But he being full of the Holy Spirit, looking steadily to heaven saw the glory of God and Jesus standing on the right hand of God, ⁵⁶ and said, Behold, I see the heavens opened and the Son of man standing on the right hand of God. ⁵⁷ And crying with a loud voice they stopped their ears and rushed upon him with one accord,

¹ And Saul consented to his death. ^(5:15) And at that time there was a great persecution of the church at Jerusalem; and they were all scattered abroad through the regions of Judea and Samaria, except the apostles.

¹⁴ For you, brothers, became followers of the churches of God in Christ Jesus which were in Judea, for you also suffered the same things from your countrymen, which they did from the Jews ¹⁵ who also killed the Lord Jesus and the prophets, and persecuted us, and who please not God and are hostile to all men,

⁴⁰ When, therefore, the lord of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those husbandmen? ⁴¹ They said to him, He will inflict on those men a miserable death, and let out his vineyard to other husbandmen, who will render him the fruits in their seasons.

⁴² saying, O, that you had known, even you, and indeed in this your day, the things which are for your peace! But now they are hid from your eyes. ⁴³ For days of [trouble] will come upon you, and your enemies shall throw an embankment around you, and shut you in, and press you on every side, ⁴⁴ and destroy you and your children with you, and not leave stone upon stone in you; because you knew not the time of your visitation.

²¹ Then let those in Judea flee to the mountains; and those in the midst of it depart out of it; and let those in country places not enter into it.

²⁴ And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and be carried away captive to all nations, and Jerusalem shall be trodden down by gentiles, till the times of gentiles are fully accomplished.

¹⁶ forbidding us to speak to the gentiles that they may be saved, that they may fill up their sins always; and the wrath has come on them to the utmost.

¹⁷ For it is time for judgment to begin at the house of God; and if it first begins with us, what will the end be of those that obey not the gospel of God? ¹⁸ And if the righteous man is scarcely saved, where will the ungodly and the sinner appear?

¹¹ and into whatever city or village you enter, inquire who in it is worthy, and there remain till you leave. ¹² And when you go into a house, salute it; ¹³ and if the house is worthy, your blessing shall come upon it; but if the house is not worthy, your blessing shall return to you.

³⁷ He that loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; and he that loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me; ³⁸ and he that does not take up his cross and follow me is not worthy of me.

³⁵ but those who are judged worthy to attain that life, and the resurrection of the dead, neither marry nor are married;

³⁶ But watch continually, praying that you may be accounted worthy to escape all these things which are about to occur, and to stand before the Son of man.

⁵ a token of the righteous judgment of God that you should be deemed worthy of the kingdom of God, for which you also suffer,

⁴ But you have a few names in Sardis who have not defiled their garments, and they shall walk with me in white, for they are worthy.

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

¹⁵ And he said to them, Go into all the world, preach the good news to all the creation; ¹⁶ he that believes and is baptized shall be saved, but he that disbelieves shall be condemned.

⁴⁷ and that a change of mind and forgiveness of sins should be preached in his name to all nations, beginning from Jerusalem.

⁴⁷ For thus has the Lord commanded us; I have set you for a light of nations, that you should be a salvation even to the end of the earth.

⁸ To me, who am the least of all saints, was this grace given, to preach to the nations the unsearchable riches of Christ,

³⁸ the field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; the poisonous darnel are the children of the wicked one;

⁴⁷ Again; the kingdom of heaven is like a net cast into the sea, and collecting [fish] of every kind, ⁴⁸ which, when it was full, men drew to the shore, and sifting down put up the good in vessels and cast the bad away.

^{11 (20:3)} And the king coming in to see the guests observed there a man who had not on a wedding garment, ¹² and said to him, Friend, how came you in here not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless.

^{1 (22:10)} Then the kingdom of heaven shall be likened to ten virgins who took their own lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom; ² and five of them were foolish, and five wise.

¹⁰ And while they went to buy the bridegroom came; and the ready went in with him to the wedding, and the door was shut.

⁹ Know you not that the unjust shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor the effeminate, nor sodomites, ¹⁰ nor thieves, nor covetous persons, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor the rapacious, shall inherit the kingdom of God. ¹¹ And such were some of you; but you are washed, you are sanctified, but you are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.

²¹ lest when I come again my God shall humble me before you, and I shall mourn for many who have sinned, and not changed their minds, in respect to impurity and fornication and lewdness which they have committed.

¹⁹ They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us they would have continued with us; but [they went out from us] that they might be manifest that they are not all of us.

¹⁴ But I have a few things against you; you have there those who hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balak to put an occasion of sin before the children of Israel, both to eat things offered to idols and to commit fornication. ¹⁵ So in like manner you have also those who hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitans.

²⁰ But I have against you that you allow your wife Jezebel, who says she is a prophetess and teaches and deceives my servants to commit fornication and eat things offered to idols. ²¹ And I gave her time to change her mind, and she will not change her mind from her fornication. ²² Behold, I will cast her on a [sick] bed, and those committing adultery with her into great affliction, unless they change their minds from her works. ²³ And her children will I kill with pestilence, and all the churches shall know that I am he that searches the minds and hearts, and I will give you each one according to your works.

⁹ And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book and to open its seals, for thou wast killed and hast redeemed to God with thy blood [men] from every tribe and tongue and people and nation,

^{9 (4:9)} After this I saw, and behold, a great multitude, which no man could number, of every nation and of all tribes and peoples and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and having palm branches in their hands;

⁶ And I heard them as the voice of a great multitude, and as the sound of many waters and as the sound of mighty thunders, saying, Halleluia, for the Lord our God the Almighty reigns.

¹² whose winnowing shovel is in his hand, and he will thoroughly clean his threshing floor, and gather his wheat into the storehouse; but the chaff he will burn with an inextinguishable fire.

³⁰ let both grow together till the harvest, and at the time of the harvest, I will say to the reapers, Collect first the poisonous darnel, and bind it in bundles to be burnt; but collect the wheat in my storehouse.

^{31 (22:13)} But when the Son of man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then shall he sit on the throne of his glory, ³² and all the nations shall be assembled before him, and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats;

²² but God's righteousness is through the faith of Jesus Christ, in all and upon all that believe. For there is no difference;

¹⁴ but put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for desires of the flesh.

⁵ Judge nothing therefore before the time, till the Lord comes, who will both bring to light the hidden deeds of darkness, and make known the purposes of the hearts; and then shall each one have praise from God.

³ if indeed also having put it on we may not be found naked.

²⁷ for as many of you as are baptized in Christ, have put on Christ.

²⁴ and put on the new man, created after God in righteousness and true holiness.

¹⁰ and put on the new man, renewed in knowledge in the likeness of him that created him, ¹¹ where there are not Greek and Jew, circumcision and uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, servant, freeman, but Christ is all things and in all.

¹² For the word of God is living, and effective, and sharper than any two-edged sword, and reaching even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrows, and distinguishes thoughts and intentions of mind; ¹³ and there is nothing which is not manifest in his sight; for all things are naked and exposed to his eyes, to whom our discourse relates.

²³ And her children will I kill with pestilence, and all the churches shall know that I am he that searches the minds and hearts, and I will give you each one according to your works.

⁴ But you have 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 conquers shall be clothed in white robes, and I will not obliterate his name from the book of life, and I will confess his name before my Father and before his angels.

¹⁸ I advise you to buy of me gold purified in the fire that you may be rich, and white robes that you may put on, and the shame of your nakedness not appear, and an eye-salve to anoint your eyes that you may see.

¹⁵ Behold, I come as a thief; blessed is he that watches and keeps on his clothes, lest he walk naked and they see his shame.

⁸ and it was given her to be arrayed in fine linen white and clean;—for fine linen represents the righteous ordinances of the saints.

²⁰ For I tell you, that unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, you shall by no means enter into the kingdom of heaven.

¹³ But he answered and said to one of them, Neighbor, I do you no wrong. Did you not agree with me for a denarius [14 cents]?

⁵⁰ But Jesus said to him, Comrade, for what have you come? Then they came forward, and laid hands on Jesus, and took him.

² and he kept back a part of the price, his wife also being privy to it, and bringing a certain part laid it at the apostles' feet. ³ But Peter said, Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart that you should lie to the Holy Spirit, and that you should keep back a part of the price of the land? ⁴ Continuing unsold was it not yours, and when it was sold was it not at your disposal? Why did you propose this thing in your heart? You have not lied to men but to God. ⁵ And Ananias hearing these words fell down and expired; and great fear was upon all who heard. ⁶ And the young men arose and laid him out, and having carried him out buried him. ^{7 (4:3)} And after an interval of about three hours, his wife, not knowing what had happened, came in. ⁸ And Peter answered her, Tell me whether you sold the field for so much? And she said, Yes; for so much. ⁹ And Peter said to her, Why have you agreed together to try the Spirit of the Lord? Behold, the feet of those that buried your husband are at the door, and they shall carry you out. ¹⁰ And she fell down immediately at his feet, and expired; and the young men coming in found her dead, and carried her out, and buried her by her husband. ¹¹ And great fear was on all the assembly [church], and on all that heard of these things.

²⁰ But Peter said to him, Your money go to perdition with you; because you have thought to purchase the gift of God with money. ²¹ You have no part nor inheritance in this work; for your heart is not right before God. ²² Turn your mind therefore from this your wickedness, and pray the Lord if perhaps the thought of your mind may be forgiven you; ²³ for I see you are in the gall of bitterness and bond of wickedness.

¹⁹ But we know that whatever the law says, it says to those having the law, that every mouth may be stopped and all the world become guilty before God.

¹¹ knowing that such a one is subverted, and sins, being self-condemned.

¹² but the children of the kingdom shall be cast into the darkness outside; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

²⁹ Or how can one enter into the house of a strong man and plunder his goods, unless he first binds the strong man, and then he will plunder his house.

⁴² and cast them into a furnace of fire; and there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

⁵⁰ and cast them into the furnace of fire; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

⁵¹ and will punish him with the utmost severity, and appoint his portion with hypocrites. There shall be weeping and gnashing of the teeth.

³⁰ and cast the unprofitable servant into the darkness outside; there shall be weeping and gnashing of the teeth.

²⁸ There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when you shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets in the kingdom of God, and you cast out.

¹⁸ I tell you most truly, that when you were young you girded yourself and walked where you would; but when you become old, you shall stretch out your hands and another shall bind you and carry you where you would not;

^{54 (5:14)} And when they heard these things they were enraged in their minds and gnashed their teeth upon him.

¹¹ and coming to us, and taking Paul's girdle, and binding his hands and feet, he said, These things, says the Holy Spirit; Thus will the Jews at Jerusalem bind the man that owns this girdle, and deliver him into the hands of the gentiles.

⁹ who shall suffer the punishment of eternal destruction from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of his power,

⁴ For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but plunging them into Tartarus delivered them up in chains to be kept in darkness till the judgment,

^{17 (1:5)} These are fountains without water, clouds driven by a tempest, to which is reserved the blackness of darkness.

⁶ and the angels who kept not their own province, but left their habitation, he has kept under darkness in eternal chains, for the judgment of the great day;

¹³ wild waves of the sea foaming with their own shame, wandering stars to which is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever.

²⁷ And there shall not enter into it any thing that is defiled, nor any one that commits an abomination and falsehood, but those enrolled in the Lamb's book of life.

^{13 (5:12)} Enter in through the narrow gate, for wide is the gate; and spacious the way which leads to destruction, and many are they that enter in by it; ¹⁴ for narrow is the gate, and compressed the way which leads to life, and few are those who find it.

¹⁶ So the last shall be first, and the first last.

²² And unless those days were shortened no flesh would be saved: but on account of the elect those days shall be shortened.

²³ And some one said to him, Lord, are there few who are saved? And he said to them, ²⁴ Strive to enter in by the narrow gate; for many, I tell you, shall seek to enter in, and shall not be able.

¹⁰ Wherefore, brothers, use the greater diligence to make your calling and election sure; for doing these things you shall never fall.

¹⁴ They shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall conquer them,—for he is Lord of lords and King of kings, and those with him are called and chosen and faithful.

^{13 (11:9)} And they sent to him some of the Pharisees and Herodians to ensnare him in his words. ¹⁴ And they came and said to him, Teacher, we know that you are true, and care for no one, for you respect not the face of men, but teach the way of God in truth. Is it lawful to pay tribute to Caesar or not? ¹⁵ Shall we pay? or shall we not pay? But he knowing their hypocrisy, said to them, Why do you try me? Bring me a denarius [14 cents], that I may see it. ¹⁶ And they brought him one. And he said to them, Whose is this figure, and the inscription? And they said to him, Caesar's. ¹⁷ And Jesus said, Render Caesar's dues to Caesar, and God's to God. And they wondered at him.

^{53 (16:9)} And when he had gone out thence the scribes and Pharisees were extremely angry, and questioned him on many subjects, ⁵⁴ watching him, to catch something from his mouth.

^{20 (26:3)} And they sent spies to watch him, who pretended to be righteous men, that they might take advantage of his speech, to deliver him to the power and authority of the procurator. ²¹ And they asked him saying, Teacher, we know that you speak and teach correctly, and respect no person, but teach the way of God in truth. ²² Is it lawful for us to pay tribute to Caesar, or not? ²³ And perceiving their craftiness, he said to them, ²⁴ Show me a denarius [14 cents]. Whose figure and inscription has it? And they answered and said, Caesar's. ²⁵ And he said to them, Render therefore Caesar's dues to Caesar, and God's to God. ²⁶ And they were not able to take advantage of his word before the people; and they wondered at his answer, and were silent.

³ For consider him that has endured such a contradiction from sinners, that you may not become faint and weary in your minds.

¹¹ Why do you not understand that I spoke to you not of bread, to beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees? ¹² Then they understood that he did not tell them to beware of the leaven of bread, but of the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.

²⁴ saying, Teacher, Moses said, If any one dies having no children, his brother shall marry his wife, and raise up children for his brother.

²⁶ in like manner also the second, and third, till the seventh;

¹⁸ And he said, Go into the city to such a one, and say to him, The Teacher says, My time is at hand; I will keep the passover with you, together with my disciples.

⁴⁹ And immediately coming forward to Jesus, he said, Hail, Rabbi, and kissed him.

⁶ And the Pharisees went out immediately with the Herodians, and took counsel against him to kill him.

¹⁵ And he charged them, saying, Observe and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and of the leaven of Herod.

^{17 (10:4)} And as he was going on the way, one ran before and kneeled down to him, and asked him, Good teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?

¹⁴ And they came and said to him, Teacher, we know that you are true, and care for no one, for you respect not the face of men, but teach the way of God in truth. Is it lawful to pay tribute to Caesar or not?

^{40 (10:2)} And Jesus answered and said to him, Simon, I have something to say to you. And he said, Teacher, say it.

²¹ And they asked him saying, Teacher, we know that you speak and teach correctly, and respect no person, but teach the way of God in truth.

¹⁸ He that speaks from himself seeks his own glory; but he that seeks the glory of him that sent him, this [man] is true, and no unrighteousness is in him.

⁶ Jesus said to him, I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except by me.

³⁷ Then Pilate said to him, Are you a king then? Jesus answered, As you say, I am a king. For this was I born, and for this I came into the world, that I should testify to the truth; every one who is of the truth hears my voice.

¹⁷ For we are not as many, who adulterate the word of God, [for gain]; but as of sincerity, but as of God, we speak before God in Christ.

² but have renounced the hidden things of shame, not walking in craftiness nor handling the word of God deceitfully, but commending ourselves by the manifestation of the truth to every conscience of men before God.

¹⁶ So that from henceforth we know no man after the flesh; and if we have known Christ after the flesh, we now know him no more.

¹⁰ For do I now obey man, or God? or do I seek to please men? For if I yet pleased men, I could not have been a servant of Christ.

⁶ But from those of distinction, whatever they were it makes no difference to me,—God is partial to no man,—for those of distinction added nothing to me,

⁴ but as we were judged worthy by God to be intrusted with the gospel so we speak, not as pleasing men, but God who tries our hearts.

¹⁷ But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, easy to be persuaded, full of mercy and of good fruits, without partiality, without hypocrisy.

²⁰ And we know that the Son of God has come, and has given us understanding that we may know the true One; and we are in the true One, in his Son Jesus Christ; this is the true God, and eternal life.

²⁵ He said, Yes. And when he came into the house, Jesus anticipated him, saying, What do you think, Simon? From whom do the kings of the earth receive taxes, or a tribute? From their children, or from strangers?

^{1 (3:1)} In those days there went out an ordinance from Caesar Augustus that a census should be taken of all the world.

^{1 (4:1)} AND in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being procurator of Judea, and Herod tetrarch of Galilee, and Philip his brother tetrarch of Ituria and the country of Trachonitis, and Lysanias being tetrarch of Abilene,

^{12 (20:5)} From that time Pilate sought to release him; but the Jews cried, saying, If you release this man you are not a friend of Caesar; every one who makes himself a king speaks against Caesar. ¹³ Then Pilate hearing these words led Jesus out, and sat on the tribunal, in a place called the Pavement, but in Hebrew, Gabbatha. ¹⁴ And it was the preparation of the passover, it was about the sixth hour [noon]; and he said to the Jews, Behold your king! ¹⁵ Then they cried out, Away with him, away with him! crucify him! Pilate said to them, Shall I crucify your king? The chief priests answered, We have no king but Caesar.

^{37 (4:9)} After him arose Judas the Galilean, in the days of the census, and drew away people after him; and he was destroyed, and all who obeyed him were dispersed.

⁷ and Jason has received them; and they all do things contrary to the ordinances of Caesar, saying that there is another king, Jesus.

⁸ while Paul maintained in his defense, Neither against the law of the Jews, nor against the temple, nor against Caesar, have I done any wrong.

²² But we would like to hear from you what you think, for it is known to us concerning this sect, that it is everywhere spoken against.

^{6 (9:4)} For on this account also you pay taxes; for [magistrates] are servants of God attending constantly to this same thing. ⁷ Pay to all their dues; a tax to whom a tax is due, a toll to whom a toll is due, fear to whom fear, and honor to whom honor.

^{1 (14:1)} AND the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to Jesus to try him desired him to show them a sign from heaven. ² But he answered and said to them, When it is evening you say, It will be fair weather for the sky is red; ³ and in the morning, It will rain to-day for the sky is red and lowering. You know how to distinguish the face of the sky, but you cannot distinguish the signs of the times. ⁴ An evil and adulterous generation seeks a sign; and no sign shall be given it except the sign of Jonah. And he left them and departed.

³ And the Pharisees came to him to try him, and said, Is it lawful [for a man] to put away his wife for every cause?

⁸ And Jesus immediately knowing in his spirit that they so reasoned within themselves, said to them, Why do you reason in your minds?

⁵ And he sent another, and they killed him; and many others, and they beat some, and killed some.

²² And Jesus knowing their thoughts answered and said to them, Why do you reason in your minds?

⁴⁷ And Jesus perceiving the debate in their minds, took a little child and set it by him,

^{25 (15:1)} AND behold, a certain lawyer stood up to try him, saying, Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?

²³ And perceiving their craftiness, he said to them,

²⁵ for he had no need that any should testify of man, for he knew what was in man.

⁶ They said this to try him, that they might have something of which to accuse him. But Jesus, stooping down, wrote with his finger on the ground.

⁹ And Peter said to her, Why have you agreed together to try the Spirit of the Lord? Behold, the feet of those that buried your husband are at the door, and they shall carry you out.

^{28 (16:6)} But that servant went out and found one of his fellow-servants who owed him one hundred denarii [$14], and seizing him, he choked him, saying, Pay what you owe me.

² And agreeing with the laborers for a denarius [14 cents] a day, he sent them into his vineyard.

⁶ And I heard a voice in the midst of the four cherubs, saying, A choenix [a quart] of wheat for a denarius [14 cents], and three choenices of barley for a denarius; and injure not the oil and wine.

²⁴ Show me a denarius [14 cents]. Whose figure and inscription has it? And they answered and said, Caesar's.

¹⁰ Then Jesus said to him, Get behind me Satan; for it is written, You shall worship the Lord your God, and him only shall you serve.

²⁵ He said, Yes. And when he came into the house, Jesus anticipated him, saying, What do you think, Simon? From whom do the kings of the earth receive taxes, or a tribute? From their children, or from strangers? ²⁶ He said to him, From strangers. Jesus said to him; Then are the children free; ²⁷ but that we may not offend them, go to the lake, and cast in a hook, and take the first fish that comes up, and opening its mouth you will find a stater [56 cents]. Take that and give it to them, for me and you.

³⁷ And he said to him, You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and all your soul, and all your mind.

² And they accused him, saying, We have found this man perverting our nation, and forbidding to pay tribute to Caesar, saying that he is an anointed king.

¹⁹ But Peter and John answered and said to them, Whether it is right in the sight of God to obey you rather than God, judge;

²⁹ And Peter answering, and the apostles, said, It is necessary to obey God rather than man.

⁷ Pay to all their dues; a tax to whom a tax is due, a toll to whom a toll is due, fear to whom fear, and honor to whom honor.

^{13 (2:2)} Be subject therefore to every human government, for the Lord's sake, whether to the king, as superior, ¹⁴ to governors, sent by him for the punishment of evil doers and the praise of those who do well; ¹⁵ for this is the will of God, that by well-doing you may silence the ignorance of foolish men; ¹⁶ as free, and not using freedom for a cloak of vice, but as servants of God. ¹⁷ Honor all men, love the brotherhood, fear God, honor the king.

^{16 (7:2)} Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves; be therefore wise as serpents and harmless as doves.

³³ And the multitudes who heard were astonished at his teaching.

⁴⁶ And no one was able to answer him a word, neither dared any one after that day to question him farther.

¹² And they sought to take him, and feared the multitude, for they knew that he spoke this parable against them. And they left him, and went away.

¹⁵ for I will give you a mouth and wisdom which all your enemies shall not be able to resist or dispute.

¹⁰ and were not able to resist the wisdom and spirit with which he spoke.

⁶ Let your words always be with kindness, seasoned with salt, that you may know how to answer every one.

^{7 (3:2)} And seeing many of the Pharisees and Sadducees come for the baptism, he said to them; Offspring of vipers, who has warned you to flee from the wrath to come?

⁶ And Jesus said to them, Observe and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.

^{18 (11:10)} And the Sadducees came to him, who say there is no resurrection, and asked him, saying, ¹⁹ Teacher, Moses wrote to us, that if one's brother dies and leaves a wife, and leaves no child, his brother shall take his wife and raise up children for his brother. ²⁰ There were seven brothers; and the first took a wife and died, and left no child; ²¹ and the second took her, and died leaving no child; and the third in like manner. ²² And the seven left no child. Last of all, the woman died also. ²³ In the resurrection, when they rise, whose wife shall she be? for the seven had her as a wife. ²⁴ Jesus said to them, Do you not err on this account, not knowing the Scriptures, nor the power of God? ²⁵ For when they rise from the dead, they neither marry nor are married, but are like angels in heaven. ²⁶ But concerning the dead, that they rise, have you not read in the book of Moses, how God spoke to him at the bush, saying, I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? ²⁷ He is not a God of the dead, but of the living; you greatly err.

^{27 (26:4)} And some of the Sadducees came forward, who deny that there is a resurrection, and asked him, ²⁸ saying, Teacher, Moses wrote to us, that if one's brother dies, having a wife, and dies childless, his brother shall take his wife and raise up children for his brother. ²⁹ There were, therefore, seven brothers; and the first took a wife, and died childless; ³⁰ and the second and third took her; ³¹ and in like manner also the seven; [and they] left no children, and died. ³² And last, the woman died also. ³³ In the resurrection, therefore, which of them has her for a wife? for the seven had her for a wife. ³⁴ And Jesus said to them, The children of this life marry and are married; ³⁵ but those who are judged worthy to attain that life, and the resurrection of the dead, neither marry nor are married; ³⁶ neither can they die any more; for they are equal to the angels, and are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection. ³⁷ But that the dead are raised, even Moses showed at the bush, when he called the Lord, The God of Abraham, and God of Isaac, and God of Jacob. ³⁸ But God is not [a God] of the dead, but of the living; for all live to him. ³⁹ And some of the scribes answered and said, Teacher, you have spoken well. ⁴⁰ And they dared not question him any more.

^{1 (3:3)} And while they were speaking to the people, the priests, and the commander of the temple, and the Sadducees came upon them,

^{17 (4:5)} And the chief priest arose, and all those with him, being the sect of the Sadducees, and were filled with wrath,

^{6 (21:2)} And Paul knowing that one part were Sadducees and the other Pharisees, cried in the Sanhedrim, Men and brothers, I am a Pharisee and the son of Pharisees; for the hope and resurrection of the dead am I under trial. ⁷ And having said this, there was a dissension between the Pharisees and Sadducees, and the multitude were divided. ⁸ For the Sadducees say that there is no resurrection, neither angel, nor spirit, but the Pharisees confess both.

^{12 (7:2)} But if Christ is preached that he was raised from the dead, how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead? ¹³ But if there is not a resurrection of the dead, Christ has not been raised; ¹⁴ and if Christ has not been raised, then both our preaching is vain, and your faith also vain;

¹⁸ who have erred from the truth, saying that the resurrection has passed already, and overturn the faith of some.

^{21 (5:13)} Not every one that says to me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven, but he that does the will of my Father in heaven.

¹⁶ And they sent to him their disciples, with the Herodians, saying, Teacher, we know that you are true, and teach the way of God in truth, and care not for any man; for you regard not the face of men.

³⁶ Teacher, what is the great commandment in the law?

¹⁹ Teacher, Moses wrote to us, that if one's brother dies and leaves a wife, and leaves no child, his brother shall take his wife and raise up children for his brother.

^{46 (8:5)} And why do you call me Lord! Lord! and do not what I say?

²⁸ saying, Teacher, Moses wrote to us, that if one's brother dies, having a wife, and dies childless, his brother shall take his wife and raise up children for his brother.

¹⁹ Teacher, Moses wrote to us, that if one's brother dies and leaves a wife, and leaves no child, his brother shall take his wife and raise up children for his brother. ²⁰ There were seven brothers; and the first took a wife and died, and left no child; ²¹ and the second took her, and died leaving no child; and the third in like manner. ²² And the seven left no child. Last of all, the woman died also. ²³ In the resurrection, when they rise, whose wife shall she be? for the seven had her as a wife.

²⁹ There were, therefore, seven brothers; and the first took a wife, and died childless; ³⁰ and the second and third took her; ³¹ and in like manner also the seven; [and they] left no children, and died. ³² And last, the woman died also. ³³ In the resurrection, therefore, which of them has her for a wife? for the seven had her for a wife.

²⁷ And as it is appointed to men once to die, but after this is the judgment,

³⁷ for nothing is impossible with God.

^{44 (32:6)} And he said to them, These are my words which I spoke to you while I was yet with you, that all things written in the law of Moses, and Prophets, and Psalms, concerning me, must be fully accomplished. ⁴⁵ Then he opened their understanding to understand the Scriptures,

⁹ for they did not yet know the Scripture, that he must rise from the dead.

⁸ Why is it judged by you incredible that God raises the dead?

⁴ For those things which were written before were written for our instruction, that through patience and the consolation of the Scriptures we may have hope.

²¹ who will change our humble body, and make it like his glorious body, by the power by which he is able also to subject all things to himself.

⁴³ Then the righteous shall shine out like the sun, in the kingdom of their Father. He that has ears, let him hear.

^{10 (16:3)} See that you despise not one of these little ones; for I tell you that their angels always behold the face of my Father in heaven.

³⁸ For as in the days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, till the day that Noah entered the ark,

²⁴ Jesus said to them, Do you not err on this account, not knowing the Scriptures, nor the power of God? ²⁵ For when they rise from the dead, they neither marry nor are married, but are like angels in heaven.

²⁷ They eat, they drank, they married, they were married, till the day that Noah entered into the ark, and the flood came and destroyed all.

³⁴ And Jesus said to them, The children of this life marry and are married; ³⁵ but those who are judged worthy to attain that life, and the resurrection of the dead, neither marry nor are married; ³⁶ neither can they die any more; for they are equal to the angels, and are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection.

²⁸ Wonder not at this; for the hour comes in which all that are in the tombs shall hear his voice ²⁹ and shall come forth; those that have done good to a resurrection of life, and those that have done evil to a resurrection of judgment.

²⁹ But this I say, brothers, the time is short, so that in future those who have wives should be as those not having them, ³⁰ and those who weep as those not weeping, and those who rejoice as those not rejoicing, and those who buy as not possessing, ³¹ and those who use the world as those not abusing it; for the fashion of this world passes away.

^{1 (1:9)} See what love the Father has given us, that we should be called children of God. The world therefore knows us not, because it knew him not. ^{2 (1:10)} Beloved, now are we children of God, and it does not yet appear what we shall be. We know, that if he shall appear, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is.

⁹ And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book and to open its seals, for thou wast killed and hast redeemed to God with thy blood [men] from every tribe and tongue and people and nation, ¹⁰ and hast made them a kingdom and priests, and they shall reign on the earth. ¹¹ And I saw, and heard a voice of many angels about the throne, and of the cherubs, and of the elders,—and the number of them was ten thousands of ten thousands and thousands of thousands,—

¹⁰ And I fell before his feet to worship him. And he said to me, See [that you do it] not; I am your fellow-servant and of your brothers who have the testimony of Jesus; worship God. For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.

¹³ Go and learn what this means: I wish for mercy and not a sacrifice; for I came not to call the righteous, but sinners.

³ But he said to them, Have you not read what David did, when he was hungry, and those who were with him?

⁷ But if you had known what, I wish for mercy and not a sacrifice, means, you would not have condemned the innocent;

¹⁶ and said to him, Do you hear what these say? And Jesus said to them, Yes. Have you never read, that out of the mouths of babes and nursing infants, you have perfected praise?

^{42 (19:4)} Jesus said to them, Have you never read in the Scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, the same has become the head of a corner? this is from the Lord, and is wonderful in our eyes?

³⁷ But that the dead are raised, even Moses showed at the bush, when he called the Lord, The God of Abraham, and God of Isaac, and God of Jacob. ³⁸ But God is not [a God] of the dead, but of the living; for all live to him.

³² I am the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob. And Moses being afraid dared not look at it.

¹⁶ but now they seek a better, that is a heavenly [country]. Wherefore God is not ashamed of them to be called their God; for he has prepared for them a city.

²⁸ And when Jesus had finished these words the multitudes were astonished at his teaching; ²⁹ for he taught them as having authority, and not as their scribes.

²² And hearing, they wondered, and went away and left him.

² And when it was the sabbath, he taught in the synagogue; and many heard him and were astonished, and said, Whence has this man these things? and what is the wisdom given to him? And [what are] these mighty works done by his hands?

¹⁷ And Jesus said, Render Caesar's dues to Caesar, and God's to God. And they wondered at him.

⁴⁷ And all who heard him were astonished at his understanding and his answers.

²² And they all bore him witness, and wondered at the gracious words which proceeded from his mouth, and said, Is not this the son of Joseph?

⁴⁶ The officers answered, A man never spoke thus.

¹⁴ and the Pharisees went out and took counsel against him to destroy him.

³ The foolish took their lamps and took no oil with them; ⁴ but the wise took oil in the vessels with their lamps. ⁵ And while the bridegroom delayed, all slumbered and slept;

^{28 (11:11)} And one of the scribes coming forward hearing them disputing, knowing that he answered them well, asked him, What commandment is first of all? ²⁹ Jesus answered, First is, Hear Israel, the Lord our God is one Lord; ³⁰ and you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength. ³¹ Second is this, You shall love your neighbor as yourself. There is no other commandment greater than these.

^{47 (14:7)} Then the chief priests and Pharisees convened the Sanhedrim, and said, What do we accomplish? for this man performs many miracles. ⁴⁸ If we leave him thus all will believe on him; and the Romans will come and take away our place and nation. ⁴⁹ And one of them, Caiaphas, being chief priest that year, said to them, You know nothing at all, ⁵⁰ neither consider that it is expedient for us that one man should die for the people, and not that all the nation should perish.

²⁴ And when they heard these words, both the priest and the commander of the temple and the chief priests doubted concerning them, what this could mean. ²⁵ But some one came and told them, Behold, the men whom you put in prison are standing in the temple, and teaching the people. ^{26 (4:7)} Then the commander going away with the officers brought them without violence, for they feared the people, lest they should be stoned; ²⁷ and having brought them they placed them before the Sanhedrim. And the chief priest asked them, ²⁸ saying, We charged you strictly not to teach in this name, and behold, you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching, and wish to bring this man's blood on us.

^{23 (17:7)} And there was at that time no small tumult about the way [of the Lord]. ²⁴ For a certain Demetrius by name, a silversmith, who made silver temples of Diana, and afforded his artisans no small gain, ²⁵ assembling them together and laborers of like employments, said, Men, you know that our prosperity is derived from this employment, ²⁶ and you see and hear, that not only at Ephesus, but in almost all Asia, this Paul has led away a great multitude by persuasion, saying that things which are made by hands are not gods. ²⁷ And not only this work of ours is in danger of coming into contempt, but even the temple of the great goddess Diana of being set at nought, and her majesty also which all Asia and the world worships, of being destroyed. ^{28 (17:8)} And hearing this they were full of wrath, and cried, saying, Great is Diana of the Ephesians!

²⁸ crying, Men of Israel, help; this is the man who teaches all men everywhere against the people, and the law, and this place, and besides he has brought Greeks into the temple, and defiled this holy place. ²⁹ For they had before seen Trophimus the Ephesian in the city with him, and supposed that Paul had brought him into the temple. ³⁰ And all the city was moved, and there was a concourse of the people, and taking hold of Paul they dragged him without the temple, and immediately the gates were shut.

¹⁸ Jesus knowing their wickedness, said, Why do you hypocrites try me?

² And the Pharisees came and asked him, to try him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife?

³⁰ But the Pharisees and lawyers rejected the counsel of God as to themselves, not having been baptized by him.

^{25 (15:1)} AND behold, a certain lawyer stood up to try him, saying, Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life? ²⁶ And he said to him, What is written in the law? how do you read? ²⁷ And he answered and said, You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind, and your neighbor as yourself. ²⁸ And he said to him, You have answered well; do this, and you shall live. ^{29 (15:2)} But he, wishing to justify himself, said to Jesus, And who is my neighbor? ³⁰ And Jesus replied and said, A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among robbers, who both stripped him and inflicted blows upon him, and went away leaving him half dead. ³¹ And, providentially, a certain priest went down that way, and seeing him passed by on the other side. ³² And in like manner a Levite also, being at the place, came and saw him, and passed by on the other side. ³³ But a certain Samaritan, on a journey, came where he was, and seeing him had compassion on him; ³⁴ and he came and bound up his wounds, pouring on oil and wine; and putting him on his own beast, brought him to a khan, and took care of him. ³⁵ And on the next day, putting out two denarii [28 cents], he gave them to the khan-keeper, and said, Take care of him, and whatever you expend more, when I return I will pay you. ³⁶ Which of these three think you was a neighbor to him who fell among the robbers? ³⁷ And he said, He that had mercy on him. Then said Jesus to him, Do you go and do likewise.

^{45 (16:8)} And one of the lawyers answered and said to him, Teacher, in saying these things you reproach us also. ⁴⁶ And he said, Woe to you, lawyers! for you load men with burdens difficult to be borne, and you yourselves will not touch the burdens with one of your fingers.

⁵² Woe to you, lawyers! for you have taken away the key of knowledge; you do not enter in yourselves, and you forbid those entering.

³ And Jesus answered and said to the lawyers and Pharisees, Is it lawful to cure on the sabbath, or not?

¹³ Send forward Zenas the lawyer and Apollos with diligence, and let nothing be wanting to them;

¹⁹ Whoever therefore shall break one of the least of these commandments, and teach men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever shall do and teach, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. ²⁰ For I tell you, that unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, you shall by no means enter into the kingdom of heaven.

⁶ then he shall not honor his father or his mother; and you have made the law of God of no effect by your tradition.

^{23 (21:3)} Woe to you scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you tithe mint, and anise, and cummin, and have neglected the weightier matters of the law, justice, mercy, and faith. These you ought to do, and not neglect the others. ²⁴ Blind guides! who strain out a gnat and swallow down a camel.

^{28 (11:11)} And one of the scribes coming forward hearing them disputing, knowing that he answered them well, asked him, What commandment is first of all? ²⁹ Jesus answered, First is, Hear Israel, the Lord our God is one Lord; ³⁰ and you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength. ³¹ Second is this, You shall love your neighbor as yourself. There is no other commandment greater than these. ³² And the scribe said to him, Well, teacher, you have said truly; there is one [God], and no other but him; ³³ and to love him with all the heart, and all the understanding, and all the strength, and to love one's neighbor as himself, is more than all burnt offerings and sacrifices.

^{42 (16:7)} But woe to you, Pharisees! for you tithe mint, and rue, and every kind of plant, and omit justice and the love of God. These things you ought to do, and not to omit those.

²⁹ Jesus answered, First is, Hear Israel, the Lord our God is one Lord; ³⁰ and you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength.

³³ and to love him with all the heart, and all the understanding, and all the strength, and to love one's neighbor as himself, is more than all burnt offerings and sacrifices.

²⁷ And he answered and said, You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind, and your neighbor as yourself.

⁷ Because the minding of the flesh is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God; for it can not be.

¹⁶ This is the covenant which I will make with them after those days, the Lord says, I will put my laws in their hearts, and in their minds will I write them, ¹⁷ and their sins and transgressions will I remember no more.

² By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and keep his commandments. ³ For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments; and his commandments are not grievous; ⁴ for every child that has been born of God overcomes the world; and this is the victory which overcomes the world, our faith. ⁵ Who is he that overcomes the world, but he that believes that Jesus is the Son of God?

¹⁹ Honor your father and mother; and you shall love your neighbor as yourself.

³¹ Second is this, You shall love your neighbor as yourself. There is no other commandment greater than these.

⁹ For this, You shall not commit adultery, You shall not kill, You shall not steal, You shall not desire inordinately, and if there is any other commandment, it is summarily comprehended in this word; You shall love your neighbor as yourself. ¹⁰ Love does no evil to a neighbor; love therefore is the sum of the law.

² Let us each please our neighbor in that which is good for edification;

¹⁴ For all the law is fully contained in one precept; you shall love your neighbor as yourself.

¹⁰ As we have opportunity, therefore, let us do good to all, but especially to the members of the family of the faith.

⁸ If you keep indeed the royal law according to the Scripture, You shall love your neighbor as yourself, you do well;

¹² All things, therefore, which you wish men to do to you, do also thus to them; for this is the law and the prophets.

¹⁷ for the law was given by Moses, the grace and truth were by Jesus Christ.

¹⁹ But we know that whatever the law says, it says to those having the law, that every mouth may be stopped and all the world become guilty before God. ²⁰ Wherefore by the works of the law there shall no flesh be justified is his sight, for by the law there is an acknowledgment of sin. ^{21 (3:1)} BUT now God's righteousness has been made manifest without the law, being testified to by the law and the prophets,

⁹ For this, You shall not commit adultery, You shall not kill, You shall not steal, You shall not desire inordinately, and if there is any other commandment, it is summarily comprehended in this word; You shall love your neighbor as yourself.

⁵ But the end of the commandment is love from a pure heart and good conscience and faith unfeigned,

^{7 (2:3)} Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God, and every one that loves has been born of God and knows God. ⁸ He that loves not has not known God; for God is love. ⁹ The love of God was manifested to us in this; that God has sent his only Son into the world that we may live through him. ¹⁰ In this is love; not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son a propitiation for our sins. ^{11 (2:4)} Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.

¹⁹ We love, because he first loved us. ²⁰ If any one says, I love God, and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he that loves not his brother whom he has seen, how can he love God whom he has not seen? ²¹ And we have this commandment from him, that he who loves God should also love his brother.

^{15 (20:4)} Then the Pharisees went and took counsel to ensnare him in his words.

^{34 (20:6)} And the Pharisees hearing that he had silenced the Sadducees, were assembled together,

^{35 (11:12)} And Jesus answered and said, teaching in the temple, How do the scribes say that the Christ is the Son of David? ³⁶ David himself said, by the Holy Spirit, The Lord said to my Lord, Sit on my right hand, till I make your enemies your footstool. ³⁷ David himself calls him Lord, and whence is he his son? And the great multitude heard him gladly.

^{41 (26:5)} And he said to them, How do they say that the Christ is the son of David? ⁴² And David himself says in the book of Psalms, The Lord said to my Lord, Sit on my right hand, ⁴³ till I make your enemies your footstool. ⁴⁴ David, therefore, calls him Lord; and how is he his son?

^{1 (1:1)} AN account of the birth of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.

⁴ and assembling all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he inquired of them where the Christ is born. ⁵ And they said to him, In Bethlehem of Judea; for thus it is written by the prophet; ⁶ And you Bethlehem, land of Judah, are by no means least among the governors of Judah, for out of you shall come a governor who shall rule my people Israel.

^{27 (6:11)} And as Jesus was departing thence two blind men followed him, crying and saying, Have mercy on us, Son of David!

³³ and those in the ship came and worshipped him; saying, Truly you are the Son of God.

^{13 (14:3)} And Jesus coming into the parts of Cesarea Philippi, asked his disciples, saying, Who do men say that the Son of man is? ¹⁴ And they said, Some, John the Baptist; others, Elijah; and others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets. ¹⁵ And he said to them, Who say you that I am? ¹⁶ And Simon Peter answered and said, You are the Christ, the Son of the living God. ¹⁷ And Jesus answered and said to him, Blessed are you, Simon, son of Jonas, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my Father in heaven.

⁹ and the multitudes that went before, and those that followed, cried saying, Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is he that comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest [heavens]!

⁶⁹ and raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of David his servant; ⁷⁰ as he said by the mouth of his holy prophets from of old;

⁴⁹ Nathanael answered him, Rabbi, you are the Son of God; you are the King of Israel.

⁶⁸ Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? you have words of eternal life, ⁶⁹ and we have believed and know that you are the Holy [Son] of God.

⁴¹ others said, This is the Christ; others said, [No]; for does the Christ come from Galilee? ⁴² Has not the Scripture said that the Christ comes from the offspring of David, and from Bethlehem, the village where David was?

²⁸ Thomas answered and said to him, My Lord and my God.

²² and removing him, he raised up for them David for a king, of whom also he said and testified, I have found David, the son of Jesse, a man after my heart, who will do all my will. ^{23 (11:5)} Of the posterity of this man, according to his promise, has God raised up to Israel a Saviour, Jesus;

⁹ Wherefore God also highly exalted him, and gave him a name which is above every name, ¹⁰ that at the name of Jesus every knee shall bow, of beings in heaven and in the earth and under the earth, ¹¹ and every tongue shall confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

⁷ But whatever things were my gain, these I have considered a loss for the sake of Christ. ⁸ But for the same reason also I consider all things to be a loss on account of the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have suffered the loss of all things, and consider them worthless that I may gain Christ ⁹ and be found in him, not having my righteousness by the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness of God by the faith, ¹⁰ that I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the participation of his sufferings, being conformed to his death, ¹¹ where there are not Greek and Jew, circumcision and uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, servant, freeman, but Christ is all things and in all.

⁴ To whom coming, a living stone, rejected indeed by men but approved by God, elect, precious, ⁵ do you also yourselves be built up living stones, a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices well pleasing to God through Jesus Christ, ⁶ for it is said in the Scripture, Behold, I lay in Zion a chief corner stone, elect, precious, and he that believes on him shall not be ashamed. ⁷ To you therefore who believe he is precious; but to the disobedient, the stone which the builders rejected has become the head of a corner

¹² saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was killed to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honor, and glory, and blessing. ¹³ And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and those which are on the sea, and all things in them, all heard I saying, To him that sits on the throne and to the Lamb be blessing and honor and glory and power forever and ever. ¹⁴ And the four cherubs said, Amen. And the elders fell down and worshipped:

³⁶ David himself said, by the Holy Spirit, The Lord said to my Lord, Sit on my right hand, till I make your enemies your footstool.

²⁶ And he was informed by the Holy Spirit that he should not see death till he had seen the Lord's anointed. ²⁷ And he came by the spirit into the temple, and when the parents brought in the child Jesus, to do according to the custom of the law concerning him,

¹⁶ Men and brothers, it was necessary that the Scripture should be fulfilled which the Holy Spirit spoke before by the mouth of David, concerning Judas who became a guide to them that apprehended Jesus;

³⁰ Being therefore a prophet, and knowing that God swore with an oath to him to set a descendant of his on his throne, ³¹ foreseeing he spoke of the resurrection of Christ, that he was not left in hades neither did his flesh see destruction.

^{7 (1:5)} Wherefore, as the Holy Spirit says, To-day if you will hear his voice,

²¹ For prophecy was never brought by the will of man, but moved by the Holy Spirit men spoke from God,

¹⁰ I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and heard behind me a loud voice as of a trumpet,

² And immediately I was in the Spirit; and behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne.

³⁴ For David ascended not to heaven, but he says, The Lord said to my lord, Sit on my right hand ³⁵ till I make your enemies your footstool.

² to the church of God which is at Corinth, to the sanctified in Jesus Christ, called to be saints, with all that call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ in every place, both theirs and ours.

²⁵ For he must reign till he has put all enemies under his feet.

⁸ But for the same reason also I consider all things to be a loss on account of the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have suffered the loss of all things, and consider them worthless that I may gain Christ

³ who being the brightness of his glory and the express image of his substance, and sustaining all things by the word of his power, having made a purification of sins, sat down on the right hand of the majesty on high,

¹³ And to which of the angels said he at any time, Sit on my right hand till I make thy enemies thy footstool?

¹² but this [priest] having offered one sacrifice forever for sins, sat down on the right hand of God, ¹³ henceforth waiting till his enemies are made his footstool.

² looking to the chief guide and perfecter of the faith, Jesus, who for the joy set before him despised the shame and endured the cross, and sat down on the right hand of God.

¹⁹ And I saw the beast and the kings of the earth and their armies assembled together to make war with him that sat on the horse and with his army.

^{11 (12:1)} AND I saw a great white throne and him that sat on it, from whose presence the earth and heaven fled away, and no place was found for them. ¹² And I saw the dead, great and small, stand before the throne, and the books were opened; and another book was opened, which is of life. And the dead were judged from the things written in the books according to their works. ¹³ And the sea gave up the dead who were in it, and Death and Hades gave up the dead who were in them, and they were judged each according to their works. ¹⁴ And Death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire. ¹⁵ And whoever was not found enrolled in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

⁵⁸ Jesus said to them, I tell you most truly, that before Abraham existed, I am.

³ concerning his Son born of the posterity of David as to the flesh, ⁴ declared to be the Son of God in power as to the Spirit of holiness by the resurrection from the dead,—Jesus Christ our Lord,—

⁵ whose are the fathers, and of whom is Christ, according to the flesh. He who is over all is God blessed forever, amen.

⁶ who being in the form of God thought it not a robbery to be equal with God; ⁷ but he abased himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of man, ⁸ and being found in form like a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient even till death, and the death of the cross.

¹⁶ And confessedly great is the mystery of piety; [Christ,] who was manifested in the flesh, was justified in the spirit, was seen by angels, was preached to the nations, was believed on in the world, was received up into glory.

¹⁴ Since then the children have partaken of blood and flesh, he in like manner also partook of them, that through death he might destroy him that has the power of death, that is the devil,

^{16 (12:11)} I Jesus sent my angel to testify to you these things for the churches. I am the root and offspring of David, and the bright star of the morning.

²⁷ And they answered Jesus, and said, We do not know. And he said to them, Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.

³⁴ And Jesus seeing him, that he answered understandingly, said to him, You are not far from the kingdom of God; and no one dared to question him more.

¹⁷ And when he had said these things all his enemies were ashamed; and all the people rejoiced on account of all the glorious works performed by him.

⁶ And they could not answer to these things.

⁴⁰ And they dared not question him any more.

⁷ And when they continued asking him, rising up, he said to them, Let him that has not sinned among you first cast the stone at her. ⁸ And again stooping down he wrote on the ground. ⁹ But they hearing, and being convicted by their consciences, went out, one by one, beginning with the oldest, even to the last; and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.

¹⁴ and seeing the man standing with them cured, they could not dispute it.
