⁵ You must not come to battle with them; for I will not give you a foot of their land, because I have given mount Seir to the children of Esau for a possession. ⁶ Buy provisions of them for money, that you may eat, and receive of them water by measure, for money, that you may drink;

⁶ Buy provisions of them for money, that you may eat, and receive of them water by measure, for money, that you may drink;

⁶ Buy provisions of them for money, that you may eat, and receive of them water by measure, for money, that you may drink; ⁷ [for the Lord our God had blessed thee in all the works of thy hands.] Recollect how thou didst traverse that great and frightful wilderness. Behold! for forty years the Lord thy God was with thee. Thou wast not in want of any thing.

⁷ [for the Lord our God had blessed thee in all the works of thy hands.] Recollect how thou didst traverse that great and frightful wilderness. Behold! for forty years the Lord thy God was with thee. Thou wast not in want of any thing. ⁸ And when we had passed by our brethren the children of Esau, who inhabit Seir, by the way of Araba, from Ailon to Gesion-gaber, and wheeling about had crossed the wilderness of Moab,

⁸ And when we had passed by our brethren the children of Esau, who inhabit Seir, by the way of Araba, from Ailon to Gesion-gaber, and wheeling about had crossed the wilderness of Moab, ⁹ the Lord said to me, Act not as enemies against the Moabites; nor come to a battle with them; for I will not give you for a possession any of their land; for I have given Aroer to the children of Lot, that they may inherit it. ¹⁰ [Now the Ommins had formerly dwelt there, a nation great and numerous, ¹¹ and mighty as the Enakims; they as well as the Enakims may be accounted Raphains; but the Moabites call them Ommins. ¹² And in Seir the Chorrites were formerly settled, but the children of Esau destroyed them, and rooted them out from before them, and dwelt in their stead, in the same manner as Israel hath done with the land of their possession which the Lord hath given them.] ¹³ Now therefore arise, and strike your tents, and cross the valley of Zaret. ¹⁴ Now the time we spent from Kades-barne till we came to the valley of Zaret, was thirty eight years; until all the generation of the warriors had fallen, and died out of the camp. As the Lord had, with an oath denounced against them,

¹⁴ Now the time we spent from Kades-barne till we came to the valley of Zaret, was thirty eight years; until all the generation of the warriors had fallen, and died out of the camp. As the Lord had, with an oath denounced against them, ¹⁵ the hand of the Lord was upon them to destroy them from among the host until they had all fallen. ¹⁶ And when all the warriors had fallen, and died from among the people, ¹⁷ the Lord spoke to me, saying, ¹⁸ Thou art now to pass by Aroer, along the borders of Moab; ¹⁹ when you come near to the children of Amman you must not act hostilely against them, nor come to battle with them; for I will not give thee any of the land of the children of Amman for a possession; because I have given it for a possession to the children of Lot. ²⁰ [It may be accounted the land of the Raphains, for the Raphains formerly dwelt there, but the Ammanites call them Zochommins ²¹ . They, as well as the Enakims, were a nation great and numerous, and much stronger than you; but the Lord destroyed them from before the Ammanites, and they took possession of the country, and have dwelt therein in their stead, even to this day. ²² The same was the case with the children of Esau who inhabit Seir, they, in like manner, destroyed the Chorrites from before them, and took possession of their country, and have dwelt therein, in their stead, even to this day. ²³ So it was with the Evites when they dwelt in Asedoth even to Gaza, the Cappadocians, who came out of Cappadocia, rooted them out, and dwelt in their stead.] ²⁴ Now therefore arise, strike your tents, and cross the vale of Arnon; behold I have delivered into thy hand Seon, king of Esebon, the Amorite, with his land. Begin to take possession. Join battle with him this day. ²⁵ Begin to impress the fear of thee, and the dread of thee, on the face of all the nations under heaven. They who hear of thy name shall tremble, and be in anguish because of thee.

²⁷ Let me pass through thy land. I will march along the highway, and not turn aside to the right, nor to the left. ²⁸ Thou shalt sell me provisions for money, that I may eat; and thou shalt sell me water for money, that I may drink, just till I can march through on foot; ²⁹ as the children of Esau, who dwell in Seir, and the children of Moab, who dwell in Aroer have done to me, until I cross the Jordan, to the land which the Lord our God giveth us.

²³ I also supplicated the Lord, at that time, saying, ²⁴ Lord God, thou hast begun to shew thy servant thy majesty, and thy power, and thy mighty hand, and thy outstretched arm; for what god is there in heaven, or on earth, who can do as thou hast done, or according to thy majesty. ²⁵ Let me cross over, and see that land, that good land which is beyond the Jordan, and that goodly mountain Antilibanus. ²⁶ But the Lord overlooked me, because of you, and would not hearken to me. And the Lord said to me, Let this suffice thee. Speak no more on this subject. ²⁷ Go up to the top of the craggy mountain, and raise thine eyes westward, and northward, and southward, and eastward, and take a view of it with thine eyes; for thou shalt not cross this Jordan.

¹⁵ who conducted you through that great and frightful wilderness, where there were biting serpents and scorpions, and drought, where there was no water; who brought a fountain of water for thee out of a flinty rock;

²⁴ You have been disobedient to the commands of the Lord, from the day he made himself known to you.

⁶ then the children of Israel removed out of Beroth, the country belonging to the children of Jakin, into Misidai, the country where Aaron died, and where he was buried, and Eleazar executed the office of priest in his stead.

⁷ Thou shalt not abominate an Idumean; for he is thy brother. Thou shalt not hold in abhorrence an Egyptian; because thou wast a sojourner in his land.

⁶ And when the Egyptians afflicted us, and humbled us, and imposed upon us hard labours,

⁷ Then Moses called Joshua, and said to him before all Israel, Be courageous, and strong; for thou shalt go before this people, into the land which the Lord solemnly promised your lathers to give them; and thou shalt put them in possession of it; ⁸ and the Lord, who marcheth with thee, will not leave thee nor forsake thee. Fear not, nor be dismayed.

⁴⁹ Go up the mountain Abarim, to that mount Nabo, which is in the land of Moab, fronting Jericho, and take a view of the land of Chanaan, which I give to the children of Israel;

⁴⁹ Go up the mountain Abarim, to that mount Nabo, which is in the land of Moab, fronting Jericho, and take a view of the land of Chanaan, which I give to the children of Israel; ⁵⁰ and die on the mount to which thou goest up, and be gathered to thy people, in the same manner as thy brother Aaron died on mount Or, and was gathered to his people,

⁵⁰ and die on the mount to which thou goest up, and be gathered to thy people, in the same manner as thy brother Aaron died on mount Or, and was gathered to his people,

⁵⁰ and die on the mount to which thou goest up, and be gathered to thy people, in the same manner as thy brother Aaron died on mount Or, and was gathered to his people, ⁵¹ because you disobeyed my word among the children of Israel, at the water of strife, at Kades, in the wilderness of Sin.

⁵¹ because you disobeyed my word among the children of Israel, at the water of strife, at Kades, in the wilderness of Sin.

⁸ And of Levi he said Assign ye to Levi his manifestations, And his truth to this man for the Holy One Whom they tried at Temptation. Whom they reviled at the water of Contradiction.

⁴ And the Lord said to Moses, This is the land which I solemnly promised to Abraham, and Isaak, and Jacob, saying, To your seed I will give it. I have pointed it out to thine eyes, but thou shalt not go thither. ⁵ So Moses the servant of the Lord died, by the command of the Lord, in the land of Moab;

⁸ And the children of Israel mourned for Moses, in Araboth Moab, by the Jordan, over against Jericho, thirty days. And when the days of mourning for Moses were fulfilled, ⁹ as Joshua son of Nave was filled with a spirit of wisdom, [for Moses had laid his hands upon him] the children of Israel hearkened to him, and did as the Lord commanded Moses.

² My servant Moses is dead, now therefore arise, and cross the Jordan, thou and all the people, into the land which I give them.

⁵ let all the people at the same time shout; and upon their shouting, the walls of the city will fall of their own accord; and all the people shall enter, every one straight forward into the city.

²⁰ Then the priests sounded the trumpets; and when the people heard the trumpets, all the people together uttered a great, loud, and continued shout, whereupon the whole wall round about fell, and all the people went up into the city.

⁶ and Joshua rent his clothes. Now when Joshua had prostrated himself, with his face on the ground, before the Lord until evening, he and the elders of Israel, and they had put dust on their heads,

⁹ And they said, Thy servants are come from a very far distant country, because of the name of the Lord thy God; for we have heard of his name, and of all that he hath done in Egypt,

¹⁰ and all that generation was gathered to their fathers, and another generation arose after them, who knew not the Lord, nor the works which he had done for Israel,

¹⁶ For when they came out of Egypt, Israel marched through the wilderness to the sea of Siph, and came to Kades; ¹⁷ and Israel sent messengers to the king of Edom, saying, Let me, I pray thee, march through thy land; but the king of Edom did not consent. They sent also to the king of Moab; but the king of Moab did not consent. So after halting at Kades,

¹⁷ and Israel sent messengers to the king of Edom, saying, Let me, I pray thee, march through thy land; but the king of Edom did not consent. They sent also to the king of Moab; but the king of Moab did not consent. So after halting at Kades, ¹⁸ Israel marched through the wilderness, and went round the land of Edom, and the land of Moab, and came eastward of Moab, and encamped on the bank of the Arnon, but did not enter the borders of Moab; for Arnon was the boundary of Moab.

²⁰ but Seon would not trust Israel to pass through along his border, but assembled all his people, and encamped at Jasa, and came to an engagement with Israel.

²⁴ If thy god Chamos were to put thee in possession of any places, wouldst thou not possess them? And shall not we succeed all those whom the Lord our God hath removed from before us?

¹³ And when Samuel came to Saul, Saul said to him, Blessed art thou of the Lord. I have performed all that the Lord hath spoken. ¹⁴ Whereupon Samuel said, But what bleating of flocks is this in my ears? and what is this lowing of cattle which I hear?

¹⁹ Why then didst thou not hearken to the voice of the Lord, but rush upon the spoil, and do evil in the sight of the Lord?

²⁴ Then Saul said to Samuel, I have sinned; for I have transgressed the word of the Lord, and thy orders, because I feared the people and hearkened to their voice.

²¹ and he said to the man of God who had come from Juda, Thus saith the Lord, Because thou hast disobeyed the command of the Lord, and hast not kept the commandment, which the Lord thy God commanded thee, ²² but hast turned back and eaten bread and drunk water, in the place which he spoke to thee saying, Thou must not eat bread nor drink water, thy body shall not enter the sepulchre of thy fathers. ²³ So after he had eaten and drunk, he saddled for him an ass, and he turned and went away. ²⁴ And a lion met him on the road and killed him, and his body was cast in the highway and the ass stood by it. The lion also stood by the body.

⁹ But when they came to the threshing floor, Oza stretched forth his hand to take hold of the ark, because the bullock caused it to lean: ¹⁰ whereupon the anger of the Lord was kindled against Oza, and he smote him there, because he stretched forth his hand upon the ark, and he died there before God.

² then David said, None but the Levites ought to carry the ark of God; for the Lord hath chosen them to carry the ark of the Lord and to minister to him forever.

¹³ for because you did not do this on the former occasion, our God made a breach among us, because we did not seek him with judgment.

¹⁶ And when David raised his eyes and saw the angel of the Lord standing between the earth and heaven, with a drawn sword in his hand stretched out over Jerusalem, he and all the elders being clad in sackcloth, fell on their faces,

¹¹ Now therefore, my son, the Lord will be with thee, and will prosper thee, and thou shalt build a house for the Lord thy God, as he hath spoken concerning thee. ¹² Let but the Lord grant thee wisdom and understanding, and strengthen thee over Israel, that thou mayst keep and perform the law of the Lord thy God;

¹⁷ David also gave a charge to all the chiefs of Israel to assist his son Solomon, saying,

⁵ so in preference to all my sons, for the Lord hath given me many sons, he hath made choice of my son Solomon, to set him on the throne of the Lord's kingdom, over Israel. ⁶ And God hath said to me, Thy son Solomon shall build my house, and my court; for I have chosen him to be my son; and I will be to him a father; ⁷ and I will establish his kingdom forever, provided he exert his power to keep my commandments and my judgments as at this day. ⁸ Now therefore, in the presence of all the congregation of the Lord, and in the audience of our God, I adjure you to keep and to seek all the commandments of the Lord our God, that you may possess this good land and leave it for an inheritance for your children after you forever. ⁹ And now, Solomon, my son, know thou the God of thy fathers, and serve him with a perfect heart and a willing mind; for the Lord searcheth all hearts and knoweth every thought. If thou seek him, he will be found by thee; but if thou forsake him, he will at last forsake thee.

²⁰ And they arose early in the morning, and went out to the wilderness of Thekoe. And as they were marching out, Josaphat stood and cried with a loud voice, and said, Hear me, Juda, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem. Trust in the Lord our God, and you shall be confirmed in your confidence. Confide in his prophet, and you shall prosper.

²⁸ Behold I will gather thee to thy fathers, and thou shalt be carried to thy grave in peace, and thine eyes shall not see all the evils which I am going to bring upon this place, and upon them who dwell therein. And when they brought back word to the king,

²⁴ So his servants took him out of his chariot and put him into his second chariot, which attended him, and brought him to Jerusalem, and he died and was buried with his fathers. And all Juda and Jerusalem mourned for Josias. ²⁵ And Jeremias composed a song of lamentation for Josias, which all the heads of families, both men and women, sung over him, and which they continue to sing to this day; for they established it for an ordinance to Israel. And behold it is written among the funereal odes.

¹⁵ "Thou gavest them also bread from heaven for their food, and didst bring water for them out of a rock for their thirst, ordering them to go in and take possession of the land which thou hadst stretched forth thy hand to give them.

²¹ Thus didst thou sustain them forty years in the wilderness, not suffering them to want any thing. Their clothes did not wear out, nor were their feet galled.

¹⁰ because it shut not up the door of my mother's womb: for that would have removed sorrow from mine eyes: ¹¹ for why did I not end my days in the womb? Or when I came forth from the belly why did I not instantly perish?

⁸ The Lord will shake the wilderness of Kades.

⁹ for he spake and they were brought into being: he commanded and they were created.

¹⁵ he had cleft a rock in the wilderness, and given them drink as from a great abyss; ¹⁶ he had brought water out of a rock, and caused streams to flow down like rivers:

¹⁶ he had brought water out of a rock, and caused streams to flow down like rivers:

⁸ To-day, since you have heard his voice, let not your hearts be refractory as at the great provocation"as in the day of the temptation in the desert,

⁴¹ He split a rock and waters gushed out, and rivers ran in dry places.

²¹ They forgot God their saviour, who had done great things in Egypt;

³² When they provoked him at the water of strife it went ill with Moses on their account.

³² When they provoked him at the water of strife it went ill with Moses on their account. ³³ For they provoked his spirit and he spake unadvisedly with his lips.

³³ For they provoked his spirit and he spake unadvisedly with his lips. ³⁴ They did not root out the nations which the Lord had mentioned to him: ³⁵ but mingled with those nations; and learned their works. ³⁶ And served their graven images which became to them a stumbling block. ³⁷ They actually sacrificed their sons and their daughters to demons: ³⁸ and shed innocent blood; the blood of their sons and daughters, whom they sacrificed to the graven idols of Chanaan. And the land was polluted with blood and ³⁹ defiled by their works: and they went a whoring with their devices. ⁴⁰ Therefore the Lord was incensed against his people, and abhorred his inheritance. ⁴¹ And he delivered them into the hands of enemies; and they who hated them ruled over them. ⁴² When their enemies afflicted them; and they were humbled under their hands: ⁴³ many a time did he deliver them. But they provoked him with their counsel. When they were humbled for their iniquities; ⁴⁴ the Lord beheld when they were afflicted. When he heard their supplication, ⁴⁵ he remembered his covenant and according to the multitude of his mercies; ⁴⁶ he relented and excited compassion for them among all those who had captivated them. ⁴⁷ Save us, Lord, our God; and gather us from among the nations; that we may give thanks to thy holy name; that we may triumph in thy praise. ⁴⁸ Blessed be the Lord the God of Israel from everlasting to everlasting: and let all the people say, Amen, Amen.

³ With words of hatred they encompassed me about; and fought against me without provocation. ⁴ They traduced me for my love; but I prayed,

⁸ who turned the rocks into pools of water: and into fountains of water, the flinty rock.

⁷ I was for peace; but when I spoke they attacked me without provocation.

¹⁶ and the Lord of Hosts shall be exalted in judgment; and God, the Holy One, shall be glorified by righteousness;

⁹ though Somoron is the head of Ephraim, and the son of Romelias, the head of Somoron, yes though you may not believe nor understand.

¹³ hallow the Lord himself, and let him be thy fear:

²¹ and clothe him with thy robe. And this crown of thine I will confirm to him, and I will commit to his hands this office of thine: and he shall be as a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to them who dwell in Juda. ²² And I will give him the glory of David, and he shall rule and there shall be no antagonist; and on his shoulder I will lay the key of the house of David; and he will open and none shall shut; and he will shut and none shall open:

¹⁷ and the poor and the needy shall exult with joy: for when they shall seek water and there shall be none, and their tongue is parched with thirst; I the Lord their God, I the God of Israel will hear and will not forsake them; ¹⁸ but will open rivers on the mountains, and fountains in the midst of plains: I will turn the wilderness into watery fens, and with streams refresh the thirsty ground.

²⁰ The wild beasts of the field will bless me; the Seirens and the daughters of the ostrich; because I have given water in the wilderness, and flowing streams in the desert, to give drink to this race of mine which I have chosen;

²¹ and if they shall thirst [for he will lead them through a desert] a rock shall be cleft and water shall gush forth, that my people may drink.

² I remembered mercy in thy youth; and love, in thy mature age,

⁶ and did not say, Where is the Lord, who brought us up out of the land of Egypt; who led us through the wilderness; through a boundless and untrodden land; through a land without water and without fruit; through a land which no man traversed, and where no man had a fixed abode.

⁹ The victims of the sword are more beautiful than those slain by famine. These stalked about pierced through for want of the fruits of the field.

³⁶ As I pleaded with your fathers in the wilderness of the land of Egypt, so will I plead with you, saith the Lord.

⁴¹ with the odour of sweet smelling incense I will accept you, when I have brought you out from among the peoples, and received you from the countries in which you have been dispersed, and I will be hallowed among you before the eyes of the peoples,

⁵ Because thou hast been a perpetual enemy and didst deceitfully lie in wait for the house of Israel; hast been a sword in the hand of enemies, in the time of revolt, in their last extremities; ⁶ therefore as I live, saith the Lord, Lord, as thou hast sinned unto blood, blood shall pursue thee. ⁷ And I will make the mountain of Seir an entire desert; and I will destroy from it men and cattle, ⁸ and fill with the wounded thy hills and thy vallies: and in all thy plains, the victims of the sword shall fall in thee. ⁹ I will make thee a perpetual desolation, and thy cities shall no more be inhabited, and thou shalt know that I am the Lord. ¹⁰ Because thou saidst, "The two nations and the two countries shall be mine, and I will possess them, though the Lord is there." ¹¹ Therefore, as I live saith the Lord, I will deal with thee according to thine enmity, and be made known to thee, when I judge thee;

²³ For I will hallow my great name which hath been profaned, which you have profaned in the midst of them; and the nations shall know that I am the Lord, when I am hallowed by you before their eyes.

¹⁰ [Thus saith the Lord, Lord,] In that day things will come into thy heart, and thou wilt form wicked devices

¹⁶ will indeed come up against my people Israel, as a cloud to cover the land: in the latter days I will bring thee up against my land, that all the nations may know me when I am hallowed by thee in their sight,

¹⁹ This is the southern boundary.

²⁸ and the borders of Gad shall be from the eastern boundary and on the south along by the border of Thaiman and the waters of Baremoth Kades included in his possession, to the great sea.

²⁸ There is none but God in heaven who revealeth secrets. He indeed hath made known to the king Nabuchodonosar what must come to pass in latter days. With regard to thy dream, and the visions of thy head, on thy bed, this is it. ²⁹ Thy thoughts, king, on thy bed ascended to what might come to pass hereafter. And he who revealeth secrets made known to thee the things which must come to pass. ³⁰ And to me this secret was revealed, not indeed for any wisdom in me above all the living: but for the purpose of making the interpretation known to the king, that thou mayst know the thoughts of thy heart.

⁵ It was I who fed thee in the desert; in an uninhabited land.

¹¹ Thus saith the Lord, For the three transgressions of Idumea, and for four shall I not be averse from it? Because they pursued their brother with a sword, and violated a mother on the ground: he indeed to evidence his intention seized by force; he kept up his horror and his onset till he accomplished his purpose;

¹⁰ On account of the impious slaughter of thy brother Jacob, shame shall cover thee, and thou shalt be cut off forever.

¹⁰ On account of the impious slaughter of thy brother Jacob, shame shall cover thee, and thou shalt be cut off forever. ¹¹ From the day that thou didst become an adversary, whenever the Philistines captivated his army, or strangers entered his gates and cast lots on Jerusalem, thou also wast as one of them.

¹¹ From the day that thou didst become an adversary, whenever the Philistines captivated his army, or strangers entered his gates and cast lots on Jerusalem, thou also wast as one of them. ¹² But thou shouldst not have looked on thy brother's day in the day of strangers; nor rejoiced over the children of Juda, in the day of their destruction; nor shouldst thou have vaunted in the day of affliction;

¹² But thou shouldst not have looked on thy brother's day in the day of strangers; nor rejoiced over the children of Juda, in the day of their destruction; nor shouldst thou have vaunted in the day of affliction; ¹³ nor entered people's gates in the day of their distresses. Thou especially shouldst not have beheld their congregation in the day of their destruction, nor joined to fall on their army in the day of their defeat; ¹⁴ nor beset the passes to cut off such of them as were escaping; nor shouldst thou have hemmed in his fugitives, in a calamitous day. ¹⁵ Because the day of the Lord, against all the nations is near; as thou hast done so shall it be done to thee: thy dealings shall be returned on thy head.

⁴ For I brought thee up out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed thee out of the house of bondage, and sent before thee Moses and Aaron and Mariam.

² I have loved you, saith the Lord. But you said, Wherein hast thou loved us? Was not Esau the brother of Jacob? saith the Lord: yet I loved Jacob

²² But I say to you, Whosoever is angry with his brother without cause, shall be liable to the sentence of the judges: and whoever shall say to his brother, Raca, [a contemptuous word] shall be liable to the sentence of the Sanhedrim; and whoever shall say, Moreh, [a reproachful word] shall be liable [to be sentenced] to the vale of fire.

¹⁷ And Jesus answering, said, O faithless and perverse generation! How long shall I be with you"? How long shall I endure you? Bring him hither to me.

²⁰ And Jesus said to them, Because of your unbelief. For verily I say to you, If you have faith as a grain of mustard seed, you might say to that mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it would remove; and nothing would be impossible to you:

²¹ And Jesus answering, said to them, Verily I say to you, if you have faith, without wavering, you may do not only as much as is done to this fig tree; but if you should even say to that mountain, Be thou lifted up and thrown into the sea, it shall be done.

³⁹ Then, advancing a little further, he fell prostrate on his face, and prayed, saying, O my father, if it be possible, let this cup be removed from me. Nevertheless not as I would, but as thou wiliest.

²⁰ teaching them to observe all that I commanded you. And lo! I am with you all the days to the conclusion of this age. Amen.

²² In reply to which, Jesus saith to them, Have faith in God. ²³ For verily I say to you, If one should say to that mountain, Be thou lifted up and cast into the sea; and have no doubt in his mind, but believe that what he saith cometh to pass; whatever he may command shall be done for him. ²⁴ Therefore I say to you, What things soever you ask when you pray, believe that you will receive, and you shall have them.

²⁰ Now, behold, thou shalt be dumb and unable to speak, until the day when these tidings shall be accomplished; because thou hast not believed my words, which shall be confirmed in their season.

⁴⁵ Happy indeed is she who believed that there shall be an accomplishment of the things spoken to her from the Lord.

⁵⁴ Upon seeing this, his disciples, James and John, said, Master, Is it thy pleasure that we command fire to come down from heaven and consume them, as Elias did? ⁵⁵ Whereupon, turning about, he rebuked them, and said, You do not know what spirit you are of.

¹³ If you, then, bad as you are, know how to give good gifts to your children; how much more will your heavenly father give a holy spirit to them who ask him?

¹⁷ Because the law was given by Moses grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.

¹⁰ Jesus answered and said to her, If thou hadst known the bounty of God, and who it is who saith to thee, Give me to drink, thou wouldst have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water. ¹¹ The woman saith to him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep; whence then hast thou this living water? ¹² Art thou greater than our father Jacob, who gave us this well, and drank thereof, himself, and his children, and his cattle? ¹³ In reply to which, Jesus said to her, every one who drinketh of this water will thirst again; ¹⁴ but whosoever shall drink of the water which I will give him, will never thirst. But the water which I will give him, will be in him a fountain of water springing up for an everlasting life.

²⁴ Hitherto you have asked nothing in my name. Ask and ye shall receive, that your joy may be complete.

¹⁴ These all continued with one mind in prayer and supplication, with the women, particularly Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren.

¹ Now when the day of pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in the same place. ² And suddenly there came from heaven a sound as of a mighty rushing wind, which filled the whole house where they were sitting. ³ And there appeared to them separate tongues, as of fire, and it settled on each of them. ⁴ And they were all filled with a holy spirit and began to speak in different languages, as the spirit gave them to make solemn addresses.

¹² Now when Peter saw this he thus addressed the people. "Men of Israel, why wonder ye at this? Or why do ye fix your eyes on us, as if we by our own power or piety had made this man walk? ¹³ The God of Abraham, and Isaak, and Jacob; the God of our fathers hath glorified his servant Jesus whom ye delivered up. Yes, you renounced him in the presence of Pilate, when he had determined to release him: ¹⁴ you indeed renounced the Holy One and the Just, and desired a murderer to be granted to you. ¹⁵ You indeed killed him who is the conductor to life, whom God hath raised from the dead, of which we are witnesses. ¹⁶ Now for the belief in his name, his name hath strengthened this man whom you see and know. Yes, the belief which is by him hath given this man this perfect soundness in the presence of you all.

¹⁵ So Jacob went down to Egypt and died, he and our fathers,

¹⁹ This king, mischievously politic against our family, ill treated our fathers, causing their children to be ex posed that they might not be preserved alive.

³⁵ This Moses whom they rejected, saying, Who made thee a chief and a judge? this very person God sent as a chief and a deliverer by the hand of an angel who appeared to him in the bush

³⁹ to whom our fathers would not be obedient, but rejected him, when with their hearts they turned towards Egypt, ⁴⁰ saying to Aaron, Make gods for us to go before us; for as for this Moses who brought us out of the land of Egypt, we do not know what is become of him.

² While devout men were carrying Stephen to the grave and making great lamentation for him,

⁹ This man was listening to Paul speaking, who fixing his eyes upon him, and perceiving that he had faith to be healed, ¹⁰ said with a loud voice, Stand upright on thy feet. Upon which he leaped up and walked. ¹¹ When the people saw what Paul had done, they lifted up their voice, and, in the Lycaonian dialect, said, "The Gods are come down to us in the likeness of men." ¹² And they called Barnabas, Jupiter: and Paul, Mercury; because he was the chief speaker. ¹³ And the priests of Jupiter's temple which was before their city, brought bulls with garlands to the gates, and together with the multitude, desired to offer a sacrifice. ¹⁴ But the apostles Barnabas and Paul, hearing of this, rent their clothes and ran in among the crowd, crying out ¹⁵ and saying, Men, why do ye these things? We are only frail mortals like yourselves, proclaiming to you to turn from these vanities to the living God, who made the heaven and the earth, and the sea, and all the things which are therein;

²⁵ And now behold I know that all you among whom I have gone proclaiming the reign of God, shall no more see my face; ²⁶ therefore I testify to you this day that I am clear from the blood of all men. ²⁷ For I have not shrunk from declaring to you the whole counsel of God. ²⁸ Take heed therefore to yourselves and to the whole flock among which the holy spirit hath made you overseers to tend the congregation of God which he hath purchased with his own blood. ²⁹ For this I know, that after my departure there will enter in among you grievous wolves, not sparing the flock.

³ Whereupon Paul said to him, God is about to smite thee, thou whited wall!
