⁴⁰ Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, was one of the two who heard it from John, and followed Him. ⁴¹ He first finds his own brother Simon, and says to him, "We have found the Messiah," (which, being translated, is Christ). ⁴² He led him to Jesus. Jesus looking on him, said, "You are Simon, the son of John; you shall be called Cephas," (which is translated Peter).

⁴² He led him to Jesus. Jesus looking on him, said, "You are Simon, the son of John; you shall be called Cephas," (which is translated Peter). ⁴³ On the morrow, He wished to go forth into Galilee; and He findeth Philip, and saith to him, "Follow Me."

⁴³ On the morrow, He wished to go forth into Galilee; and He findeth Philip, and saith to him, "Follow Me." ⁴⁴ Now Philip was from Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter. ⁴⁵ Philip finds Nathanael, and says to him, "We have found Him of Whom Moses in the law and the prophets wrote—Jesus of Nazareth, the Son of Joseph." ⁴⁶ And Nathanael said to him, Can any good thing come out of Nazareth?" Philip says to him, "Come and see."

⁴⁶ And Nathanael said to him, Can any good thing come out of Nazareth?" Philip says to him, "Come and see." ⁴⁷ Jesus saw Nathanael coming to Him, and He saith to him, "Behold, an Israelite, indeed, in whom there is no guile!"

⁴⁷ Jesus saw Nathanael coming to Him, and He saith to him, "Behold, an Israelite, indeed, in whom there is no guile!" ⁴⁸ Nathanael says to Him, "Whence knowest Thou me?"

¹¹ This beginning of His signs Jesus wrought in Cana of Galilee, and manifested His glory; and His disciples believed on Him.

¹³ And the passover of the Jews was near; and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

¹⁷ His disciples remembered that it had been written, "Zeal for Thy house will eat Me up,"

²³ And, when He was in Jerusalem at the passover, during the feast, many believed on His name, beholding His signs which He was doing.

² This man came to Jesus by night, and said to Him, "Rabbi, we know that Thou hast come, as a Teacher, from God; for no one can do the signs which Thou art doing, unless God be with Him."

²⁵ There arose, therefore, a question, on the part of John's disciples with a Jew, about purification.

⁴⁶ He came, therefore, again into Cana of Galilee, where He made the water wine. And there was a certain nobleman, whose son was sick at Capernaum.

¹ After these things there was a feast of the Jews; and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

¹⁷ But He answered them, "My Father worketh even until now, and I work."

¹⁹ Jesus, therefore, answered and said to them, "Verily, verily, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of Himself, but what He seeth the Father doing; for whatsoever things He doeth, these also, in like manner, the Son doeth.

²³ that all may honor the Son even as they honor the Father. He that honors not the Son honors not the Father Who sent Him.

⁴² But I know you, that ye have not the love of God in yourselves.

² And a great multitude was following Him, because they were beholding the signs which He was doing on the sick.

⁴ Now the Passover, the feast of the Jews, was near.

¹⁴ The men, therefore, seeing the sign that He did, said, "This, truly, is the Prophet Who cometh into the world." ¹⁵ Jesus, therefore, perceiving that they were about to come and take Him by force, to make Him King, withdrew again into the mountain, Himself alone.

¹⁷ and, entering into a boat, they were going over the sea to Capernaum; and it had already become dark, and Jesus had not yet come to them.

²⁶ Jesus answered them and said, "Verily, verily, I say to you, ye seek Me, not because ye saw signs, but because ye ate of the loaves, and were filled.

³⁰ They said, therefore, to Him, "What sign doest Thou, then, that we may see, and believe Thee? What doest Thou?

⁶¹ But Jesus, knowing in Himself that his disciples were murmuring about this, said to them, "Does this cause you to stumble?

⁶⁴ But there are some of you who do not believe." For Jesus knew from the beginning who those were that believed not, and who it was that would betray Him.

³ His brethren, therefore, said to Him, "Depart hence, and go into Judaea, that Thy disciples also may behold Thy works that Thou doest; ⁴ for no one does anything in secret, and himself seeks to he known openly. If Thou doest these things, manifest Thyself to the world." ⁵ For even His brethren did not believe on Him. ⁶ Jesus, therefore, saith to them, "My time is not yet present; but your time is always ready.

¹⁷ If any one wills to do His will, he shall know of the teaching, whether it is of God, or whether I speak from Myself.

³⁰ They were seeking, therefore, to seize Him; and no one laid his hand upon Him, because His hour had not yet come. ³¹ But of the multitude many believed on Him, and said, "When the Christ shall come, will He do more signs than those which This Man did?"

²⁰ These words He spake in the treasury, while teaching in the temple; and no one seized Him, because His hour had not yet come.

³⁰ As He spake these things, many believed on Him. ³¹ Jesus, therefore, said to those Jews who had believed on Him, "If ye abide in My word, ye are truly My disciples;

⁴⁹ Jesus answered, "I have not a demon; but I honor My Father, and ye dishonor Me.

¹⁷ On this account My Father loveth Me, because I lay down My soul, that I may take it again. ¹⁸ No one takes it from Me, but I lay it down of Myself. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take it again. This commandment I received from My Father.

²⁹ My Father, Who hath given them to Me, is greater than all, and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father's hand.

³ The sisters, therefore, sent to Him, saying, "Lord, behold, he whom Thou lovest is sick."

¹⁵ And I am glad, for your sakes, (in order that ye may believe), that I was not there. But let us go to him."

²⁵ Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life; he that believes on Me, though he die, yet shall he live;

⁵⁵ Now the passover of the Jews was near; and many went up to Jerusalem out of the country before the passover, that they might purify themselves.

¹⁶ These things His disciples did not understand at the first; but, when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things had been written about Him, and that they did these things to Him.

²³ And Jesus answereth them, saying, "The hour has come, that the Son of Man should be glorified.

³⁷ But, though He had done so many signs before them, they were not believing on Him;

⁴¹ These things Isaiah said, because he saw His glory; and he spake of Him. ⁴² Yet, however, even from among the rulers, many believed on Him; but, because of the Pharisees, they did not confess Him, lest they should be put out of the synagogue; ⁴³ for they loved the glory of men, rather than the glory of God.

¹ Now, before the feast of the passover, Jesus, knowing that His hour came that He should depart out of this world to the Father, having loved His own who were in the world, He loved them to the end.

¹¹ for He knew him who would betray Him; on this account, He said, "Ye are not all clean."

⁹ Jesus saith to him, "So long a time am I with you, and you do not know Me, Philip! He who has seen Me has seen the Father; how say you, 'Show us the Father?' ¹⁰ Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me? The words that I say to you, I speak not from Myself; but the Father, abiding in Me, doeth His works. ¹¹ Believe Me, that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me; or, else, believe Me because of the works themselves.

¹³ And whatsoever ye shall ask in My name, this will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.

²⁶ But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, Whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and remind you of all things that I told you.

¹⁴ Ye are My friends, if ye do what I command you.

⁴ But these things I have spoken to you, that, when their hour shall come, ye may remember them, that I told you. And these things I said not to you from the beginning, because I was with you.

³⁰ now we know that Thou knowest all things; and hast no need that any one should ask Thee: by this we believe that Thou didst come forth from God."

⁶ When, therefore, He said to them, "I am He," they went backward, and fell to the ground.

²⁶ Jesus, therefore, seeing His mother, and the disciple whom He loved standing by, saith to His mother, "Woman, behold your Son!" ²⁷ Then saith He to the disciple, "Behold, your mother!" And from that hour the disciple took her into his own home.

⁸ Then went in, therefore, the other disciple also, who came first to the tomb; and he saw, and believed; ⁹ for as yet they knew not the Scripture, that He must rise from the dead.

¹³ And they say to her, "Woman, why are you weeping?" She says to them, "Because they took away my Lord, and I know not where they laid Him!"

¹⁵ Jesus saith to her, "Woman, why are you weeping? Whom are you seeking?" She, supposing Him to be the gardener, says to Him, "Sir, if thou didst bear Him away, tell me where thou didst lay Him, and I will take Him away!"

¹⁷ Jesus saith to her, "Touch Me not; for I have not yet ascended to My Father; but go to My brethren, and say to them, "I ascend to My Father and your Father, and to My God and your God."

³⁰ Many other signs, therefore, did Jesus in the presence of the disciples, which have not been written in this book; ³¹ but these have been written, that ye may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that, believing, ye may have life in His name.

² There were together Simon Peter, and Thomas called Didymus, and Nathaniel of Cana in Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and two others of His disciples.

¹⁷ He saith to him the third time, "Simon, son of John, do you fondly love Me?" Peter was grieved, because He said to him the third time "Do you fondly love Me?" and he said to Him, "Lord, Thou knowest all things; Thou knowest that I do fondly love Thee." Jesus saith to him, "Feed My sheep.

¹³ And, when they entered, they went up into the upper-room, where they were abiding; both Peter and John, and James, and Andrew, Philip, and Thomas, Bartholomew, and Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon the Zealot, and Judas the son of James. ¹⁴ These all were continuing with one accord in prayer, with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with His brothers.

²⁴ And, praying, they said, "Thou, Lord, Who knowest the hearts of all men, show which of these two Thou didst choose,

²⁴ Whom God raised up, having loosed the pangs of death; because it was not possible that He should be held by it.

³² "This Jesus God raised up; of which fact we all are witnesses.

¹⁵ and the Prince of life ye killed; Whom God raised from the dead—of which fact we are witnesses.

²⁶ To you first, God, having raised up His Child, sent Him forth, blessing you, in turning away every one of you from your iniquities."

⁷ And, having set them in the midst, they were inquiring, "In what power or in what name, did ye do this?"

²⁸ saying, "We strictly charged you not to teach in This Name; and, behold, ye have filled Jerusalem with your teaching! and intend to bring upon us the blood of This Man!"

²⁶ But an angel of the Lord spake to Philip, saying, "Arise, and go toward the south, on the way that leads down from Jerusalem to Gaza:" this is a wilderness. ²⁷ And, having arisen, he went on; and, behold, a man of Ethiopia, a eunuch, a state-officer of Candace, queen of the Ethiopians, who was over all her treasure, who had come to Jerusalem to worship; ²⁸ he was also returning, and, sitting on his chariot, was reading the prophet Isaiah. ²⁹ And the Spirit said to Philip, "Go near, and join yourself to this chariot." ³⁰ And Philip, having run near, heard him reading Isaiah the prophet, and said, "Do you, then, understand what you are reading?" ³¹ But he said, "How, in fact, were I able, unless some one should guide me?" And he besought Philip, having come up, to sit with him. ³² Now the passage of the Scripture which he was reading was this: "He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; and, as a lamb dumb before its shearer, so He openeth not His mouth. ³³ In His humiliation, His judgment was taken away; His generation who shall declare? because His life is being taken away from the earth." ³⁴ And the eunuch, answering Philip, said, "I pray you, of whom does the prophet say this, of himself, or of someone else?" ³⁵ And Philip, opening his mouth, and, beginning from this Scripture, proclaimed to him the good news of Jesus. ³⁶ And, as they were journeying along the way, they came to a certain water; and the eunuch says, "Behold, here is water; what hinders me from being immersed?" ³⁷ [And Philip said, "If you believe with all your heart, you may." And he answered and said, "I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God."] ³⁸ And he commanded the chariot to stand still; and they both went down into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he immersed him. ³⁹ And, when they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, and the eunuch saw him no more; for he was going on his way rejoicing. ⁴⁰ And Philip was found at Azotus; and, passing through, he was publishing the good news to all the cities, till he came to Caesarea.

⁶ But arise, and go into the city, and it shall be told you what you must do."

¹⁶ and I remembered the word of the Lord, how He said, 'John, indeed, immersed in water, but ye shall be immersed in the Holy Spirit.'

²⁴ For a certain one, Demetrius by name, a silver-smith, making silver shrines of Diana, was bringing to the artisans no small business; ²⁵ gathering whom together, and the workmen of like occupation, be said, "Men, ye know that out of this business we have our wealth. ²⁶ And ye perceive and hear that, not only at Ephesus, but almost in all Asia, this Paul, having persuaded, turned away a great multitude, saying, that they are not gods that are made with hands. ²⁷ And not only is there danger to us that this branch of our business will come into disrepute, but also that the temple of the great goddess Diana be reckoned of no account, and also her magnificence will be destroyed, whom all Asia and the inhabited earth worship."

²⁴ but for ours also, to whom it will be reckoned, if we believe on Him Who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead;

⁴ We were buried, therefore, with Him through the immersion into death; that as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we also might walk in newness of life.

¹¹ And, if the Spirit of Him Who raised up Jesus from the dead dwelleth in you, He Who raised up Christ Jesus from the dead will make alive your mortal bodies through His Spirit dwelling in you.

⁷ Render to all their dues; tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honor to whom honor.

¹⁶ Know ye not that ye are a temple of God, and that the Spirit of God is dwelling in you?

¹⁹ Or know ye not that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, Who is in you, Whom ye have from God, and that ye are not your own?

³⁹ A wife is bound as long as her husband lives; but, if her husband fall asleep, she is at liberty to he married to whom she will: only in the Lord.

⁵ Have we no right to lead about a sister as our wife, even as the rest of the apostles, and the brothers of the Lord, and Cephas?

³¹ Whether, therefore, ye eat or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God,

³ For I delivered to you, among the first things, that which also I received, that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures; ⁴ and that He was buried, and that He hath been raised on the third day according to the Scriptures;

¹² Now if Christ is preached, that He hath been raised from the dead, how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead.

¹⁸ But we all, with unveiled face, reflecting as a mirror the glory of the Lord, are transfigured into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.

⁶ because it is the God Who said, "Light shall shine out of darkness," Who shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

¹⁷ For our momentary light tribulation is working out for us more and more exceedingly an eternal weight of glory;

¹⁶ Wherefore, we henceforth know no one according to the flesh; even if we have known Christ according to the flesh, yet now no longer do we know Him thus.

¹⁶ And what agreement has a temple of God with idols? for we are a temple of the living God, as God said, "I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people."

⁴ (for the weapons of our warfare are not fleshly, but mighty through God for the casting down of strongholds);

¹⁹ But other of the apostles I saw not, except James, the brother of the Lord.

⁵ to whom not even for an hour did we yield in subjection, that the truth of the Gospel might continue with you. ⁶ But from those reputed to be something (whatever they were, it matters not to me: God does not accept man's person): to me, in fact, those of repute added nothing;

¹⁰ For as many as are of works of law are under a curse; for it has been written, "Cursed is every one who continues not in all the things written in the book of the law, to do them." ¹¹ Now that by law no one is justified with God, is evident; because "The righteous one shall live by faith." ¹² Now the law is not of faith; but "He who did them shall live in them." ¹³ Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us; because it has been written, "Cursed is every one who is hung upon a tree";

⁶ For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision avails anything, nor uncircumcision, but faith working through love.

²⁰ having been built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus Himself being the chief corner-stone; ²¹ in Whom all the building, fitly framed together, is growing up into a holy temple in the Lord; ²² in Whom ye also are being built together for a habitation of God in the Spirit.

¹⁶ that He may grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with power through His Spirit as to the inward man; ¹⁷ that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that ye, having been rooted and grounded in love,

²⁶ that He might sanctify it, having cleansed it by the washing of the water in the word,

³⁰ because we are members of His body. ³¹ For this cause, will a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife, and the two shall be one flesh. ³² This mystery is great; but I am speaking of Christ and of the assembly. ³³ Nevertheless, do ye also, severally, each one, so love his own wife, as himself; and let the wife see that she fear her husband.

⁶ Be anxious for nothing; but, in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God:

¹⁹ because it was pleasing that in Him all the fulness should dwell;

⁹ because in Him dwells all the fulness of the Godhead bodily;

¹² having been buried with Him in your immersion, in which ye were also raised with Him through faith in the working of God, Who raised Him from the dead;

¹⁷ And whatsoever ye do in word or in deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.

¹ But the Spirit expressly saith, that in later times, some will fall away from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and to teachings of demons, ² in hypocrisy of men speaking lies, branded in their own conscience with a hot iron; ³ forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from foods, which God created for reception with thanksgiving by those who believe and have full knowledge of the truth.

⁵ wranglings of men corrupted in mind and bereft of the truth, supposing godliness to be a source of gain.

¹³ And there is no creature that is not manifest in His presence; but all things are naked and laid bare to the eyes of Him with Whom is our account.

⁹ and, having been made perfect, He became the Author of eternal life to all who obey Him;

² of the teaching of immersions, and laying on of hands, of a resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment.

² a Minister of the holy things, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, not man.

¹⁰ being only (with meats and drinks and various immersions) ordinances of the flesh, imposed until a time of reformation.

¹⁹ for, when every commandment had been spoken by Moses to all the people according to the law, taking the blood of the calves and of the goats, with water, and scarlet wool, and hyssop, he sprinkled both the book itself and all the people,

²² let us approach with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having had our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our body washed with pure water,

⁸ By faith Abraham, when called, obeyed to go forth into the place which he was about to receive for an inheritance; and he went forth, not knowing whither he was going.

⁴ Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the bed be undefiled; for fornicators and adulterers God will judge.

¹⁹ You believe that God is one. You do well. The demons also believe, and shudder! ²⁰ But are you willing to know, O vain man, that faith apart from works is worthless?

⁴ to Whom coming, a Living Stone, rejected, indeed, by men, but with God Elect, Precious, ⁵ ye yourselves also, as living stones, are being built up a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.

¹⁸ because Christ also suffered for sins once, a Righteous One in behalf of the unrighteous, that He might bring us to God, being put to death in flesh, but made alive in the Spirit,

³ and, in covetousness, will they, with feigned words, make merchandise of you; for whom the judgment from of old lingers not, and their destruction slumbers not.

¹⁴ having eyes full of lustfulness, and that cannot cease from sin; enticing unstable souls; having a heart exercised in covetousness; children of a curse; ¹⁵ leaving the right way, they were led astray, having followed the way of Balaam, the son of Beor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness,

¹³ These things I wrote to you who believe on the name of the Son of God, that ye may know that ye have eternal life.

²³ And her children I will slay with death; and all the assemblies shall know that I am He Who searcheth the reins and hearts; and I will give to you, each one, according to your works.

²⁰ "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock; if anyone hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with Me.

¹⁶ They shall hunger no more, nor thirst any more; nor shall the sun by any means fall on them, nor any heat; ¹⁷ because the Lamb, Who is in the midst of the throne, will be their Shepherd, and will guide them to the fountains of the waters of life; and God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.
