What might this parable mean? ¹⁰ And he said, To you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God; but to the rest in parables: that seeing they may not perceive, and hearing may not comprehend. ¹¹ Now this is the parable: The seed is the word of God. ¹² They by the road side, are such as hear; then cometh the devil, and taketh the word from their heart, that they should not be saved in believing. ¹³ And they on the rock, are such as when they have heard, with joy embrace the word; and these have not root, who for a time believe, and in a season of trial apostasize. ¹⁴ And that which fell among thorns, are they having heard, and going away, are choked by the cares, and wealth, and pleasures of life, and bring forth no perfect fruit. ¹⁵ But that on the good ground are they who having heard the word, retain it in a heart excellent and good, and bring forth fruit with patience. ¹⁶ No man lighting a lamp hides it with a cover, or putteth it under a bed, but on a stand, that they who are coming in, may see the light. ¹⁷ For there is nothing hid which shall not be made manifest, nor concealed, which shall not be known and brought to light. ¹⁸ Take heed therefore how ye hear: for whosoever hath, to him shall be given; and whosoever hath not, even what he seemeth to have shall be taken away from. ¹⁹ Then came to him his mother and his brethren, and could not come near him because of the crowd. ²⁰ And it was told him, saying, Thy mother and thy brethren are standing without, desirous of seeing thee. ²¹ Then he answered and said to them, My mother and my brethren are they, who hear the word of God, and practise it. ²² And it came to pass on one of the days, that he went himself into a ship, and his disciples, and said unto them, Let us pass over to the farther side of the lake. And they set fail. ²³ And while they were on the passage, he went to sleep: and a hurricane of wind rushed down on the lake; and they were filled with water, and imminent danger. ²⁴ Then they came and awoke him, saying, Master, Master, we are perishing. Then arising, he issued his command to the wind, and the billows of water, and they subsided, and there was a calm. ²⁵ And he said to them, Where is your faith? And they feared and were astonished, saying one to another, Well! what a man is this! that he commands even the winds and the sea, and they obey him. ²⁶ And they sailed over unto the region of the Gadarenes, which is opposite Galilee. ²⁷ And as he landed, there met him a certain man from the city, who had devils for a long while, and kept no clothes on him, and never abode in a house, but in the tombs. ²⁸ But when he saw Jesus, roaring out, he fell down before him, and said with a loud voice, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God Most High? I pray thee, torment me not. ²⁹ For he had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man; for many times it had seized on him; and though under a guard, and bound with chains and fetters; yet bursting the bonds, he was driven by the devil into the desert places. ³⁰ Then Jesus asked him, saying, What is thy name? and he said, Legion: for many devils were entered into him. ³¹ And he besought him that he would not order them to go into the abyss. ³² Now a herd of many swine was there feeding on the mountain; and they besought him that he would permit them to enter into them. And he permitted them. ³³ Then the devils going out of the man, entered into the swine; and the herd rushed down a precipice into the lake, and was suffocated. ³⁴ But when those who fed them saw what was done they fled, and went and told it in the city and in the country places. ³⁵ And they came out to see what had happened; and they came to Jesus, and found the man sitting, from whom the devils were gone out, clothed, and in his sound mind, at the feet of Jesus; and they were afraid. ³⁶ Then they also who had seen how the demoniac was recovered, told them. ³⁷ And the whole multitude of the country around the Gadarenes, entreated him to depart from them; for they were seized with great terror: and he embarked on the vessel, and returned. ³⁸ And the man out of whom the devils had gone, besought him to be with him; but Jesus sent him away, saying, ³⁹ Return to thy house, and declare what things God hath done for thee. And he went away, and published through the whole city what things Jesus had done for him. ⁴⁰ And it came to pass, when Jesus returned, the people welcomed him, for they were all waiting for him. ⁴¹ And, behold, there came a man whose name was Jairus, and he was a ruler of the synagogue: and falling at the feet of Jesus, he entreated him to come to his house; ⁴² for he had an only daughter, about twelve years old, and she was dying: and as he was going, the multitude thronged him. ⁴³ And a woman, who had a flux of blood, for twelve years, who had spent all her substance on physicians, and could not get a cure from any; ⁴⁴ coming behind him, touched the fringe of his garment; and instantly the flux of her blood stopped. ⁴⁵ And Jesus said, Who touched me? And when all denied, Peter, and those who were with him, said, Master, the multitudes throng and press thee, and sayest thou, Who hath touched me? ⁴⁶ Then said Jesus, Some person hath touched me, for I know that miraculous power is gone out from me. ⁴⁷ Then the woman seeing she was not hid, came trembling, and falling down before him, declared to him before all the people, for what cause she had touched him; and how she was cured instantaneously. ⁴⁸ Then he said unto her, Be of good cheer, daughter, thy faith hath made thee well; go in peace. ⁴⁹ And while he was yet speaking, a person came to the ruler of the synagogue, saying to him, Thy daughter is dead, give the master no further trouble. ⁵⁰ Then Jesus hearing it, addressed him, saying, Fear not, only believe, and she shall be saved. ⁵¹ And entering into the house, he suffered no person to come in, but Peter, and James, and John, and the father and mother of the child. ⁵² Now all were weeping and lamenting her: and he said, Weep not, she is not dead, but asleep. ⁵³ And they derided him, for they knew that she was dead. ⁵⁴ And he put them all without, and taking her by the hand, cried, saying, Maid, arise! ⁵⁵ And her spirit returned, and she immediately arose; and he commanded to give her something to eat. ⁵⁶ And her parents were struck with amazement. But he enjoined them to tell no man what was done.

¹ AND I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. ² And I John saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, descending from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. ³ And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, Behold the tabernacle of God is with men, and he shall pitch his tent with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, their own God. ⁴ And God shall wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more; nor shall mourning, nor crying, nor toil be any more: because the former things are passed away. ⁵ And he that sat upon the throne said, Lo! I make all things new: and he said unto me, Write that these sayings are true and faithful. ⁶ And he said to me, It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end; I will give to him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. ⁷ He that overcometh shall inherit all things, and I will be to him a God, and he shall be to me a son. ⁸ But to those who shrink back through fear, and to the infidels, and to the abominable, and to murderers, and to whoremongers, and to those who use magical incantations, and to idolaters, and to all liars, is their portion [appointed] in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone; which is the second death. ⁹ And there came to me one of the seven angels who held the seven vases full of the seven last plagues, and he talked with me, saying, Come hither, I will shew thee the bride, the Lamb's wife. ¹⁰ And he bore me away in spirit unto a great and exceeding high mountain, and shewed me the great city, the holy Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, ¹¹ having the glory of God: and her brilliance was like the most precious gem, as a jasper stone, transparent as crystal; ¹² and she had a great wall and lofty, having twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names inscribed on them, which are those of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel. ¹³ From the east three gates; from the north three gates; from the south three gates; from the west three gates. ¹⁴ And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb. ¹⁵ And he that talked with me held a golden cane to measure the city, and the gates thereof, and the wall thereof. ¹⁶ And the city is a quadrangle, and the breadth of it is just as much as the length of it; and he measured the city with the cane, twelve thousand furlongs: the breadth, and the length, and the height of it, are exactly proportioned. ¹⁷ He measured also the wall of it a hundred and forty-four cubits, according to the measure of a man, for such is that of an angel. ¹⁸ The structure of the wall of it was jasper, and the city pure gold, like clear glass. ¹⁹ And the foundations of the walls of the city were adorned with every precious stone: the first foundation a jasper; the second a sapphire; the third a chalcedony; the fourth an emerald; ²⁰ the fifth a sardonyx; the sixth a sardius; the seventh a chrysolite; the eighth a beryl; the ninth a topaz; the tenth a chrysoprasus; the eleventh a jacinth; the twelfth an amethyst. ²¹ And the twelve gates were twelve several pearls; every one of the gates was of one pearl; and the street of the city was pure gold, as transparent glass. ²² And I saw no temple therein; for the Lord God Almighty is the temple thereof, even the Lamb. ²³ And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon to shine upon it: for the glory of God illuminates it, and the Lamb is the lamp thereof. ²⁴ And the nations of those that are saved shall walk about in the light thereof; and the kings of the earth shall bring their glory and their honour into it; ²⁵ and her gates shall be never shut by day (for there is no night there); ²⁶ and they shall bring the glory and the honour of the nations into it. ²⁷ And there shall no more enter into it any thing unclean, or that practises abomination and lying; but only those who are written in the book of life of the Lamb.

¹ AND he shewed me a clear river of water of life, bright as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb. ² In the midst of the street of it, even on this side, and on that of the river, grew the tree of life, producing twelve crops of fruit, and ripening its fruit in succession every month; and the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations. ³ And no accursed thing is there any more; and the throne of God and of the Lamb are in it, and his servants will pay divine worship to him. ⁴ And they shall see his face; and his name shall be on their foreheads. ⁵ And there shall be no night there, and they have no need of a lamp, or the light of the sun; because the Lord God illumines them: and they shall reign for ever and ever. ⁶ And he said to me, These words are faithful and true. And the Lord God of the holy prophets hath sent his angel to shew to his servants the things which must shortly come to pass. ⁷ Behold, I come quickly! blessed is he that observeth the words of the prophecy of this book. ⁸ And I John saw and heard these things. And when I had heard and seen, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel who shewed me these things. ⁹ And he said to me, See thou do it not; for I am a fellow-servant of thine, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of those who observe the words of this book: worship God. ¹⁰ And he said to me, Seal not up the words of the prophecy of this book; for the time is at hand. ¹¹ He that is unjust, let him be unjust still; and he that is filthy, let him be filthy still; and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still; and he that is holy, let him be holy still. ¹² And behold, I come quickly: and my reward is with me, to give to every man as his work shall be. ¹³ I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last. ¹⁴ Blessed are they who keep his commandments, that they may have authority to approach unto the tree of life, and that they may enter in by the gates into the city. ¹⁵ But without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and every one who loveth and maketh a lie. ¹⁶ I Jesus have sent my angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, the bright and morning star. ¹⁷ And the spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him who is athirst come: and whosoever is desirous, let him take of the water of life freely. ¹⁸ For I testify to every one who heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man add to these things, God will lay upon him the plagues that are written in this book: ¹⁹ and if any take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away his part from the book of life, and from the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book. ²⁰ He that testifieth these things saith, Verily, I come quickly. Amen. Yea come, Lord Jesus! ²¹ The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.

¹⁰ The thief cometh not but to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.

¹ JAMES, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are dispersed, greeting. ² My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into various trials; ³ knowing that the proof of your faith produceth patience. ⁴ But let patience have its work perfected, that ye may be perfect and complete, deficient in nothing. ⁵ But if any man of you be deficient in wisdom, let him ask it of God, who giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not and it shall be given him. ⁶ But let him ask in faith, harbouring no doubt: for he who is doubtful is like a wave of the sea, driven by the wind, and in constant agitation. ⁷ For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing from the Lord. ⁸ A double-minded man is unsteady in all his ways. ⁹ Let the brother low in station rejoice in his elevation: ¹⁰ but the rich, in his abasement: for as the flower of grass he shall pass away. ¹¹ For the sun arose with fervour, and burnt up the grass, and the flower of it fell off, and the beauty of its appearance was lost: just so the rich man in his course of life shall wither away. ¹² Blessed is the man who patiently supports temptation: for when he is proved, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to those who love him. ¹³ Let no man under temptation say, I am tempted of God: for God is incapable of temptation from evils, and he tempteth no man: ¹⁴ but every person is tempted, when by his own peculiar passion he is born away, and ensnared. ¹⁵ Then passion impregnated, bringeth forth sin, and sin reaching its consummation, bringeth forth death. ¹⁶ Be not deceived, my beloved brethren. ¹⁷ Every good gift, and every perfect gift, is from above, descending from the father of illuminations, with whom there is no variableness, nor shadow of change. ¹⁸ Of his own choice he produced us by the word of truth, that we might be a sort of first fruit of his creatures.— ¹⁹ Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath. ²⁰ For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God. ²¹ Wherefore laying aside all vicious pollution, and the abundance of iniquity, receive with meekness the ingrafted word, which hath power to save your souls. ²² But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves by false reasoning. ²³ For if any man be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like a man that looks at his natural face in a glass; ²⁴ for he beheld himself, and went away, and immediately forgot what sort of person he was. ²⁵ But he that looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and perseveres, this man not being a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, he shall be blessed in his practice. ²⁶ If any man thinks he is a religious character among you, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion is vain. ²⁷ Pure religion and undefiled with God even the Father is this, To pay diligent attention to the orphans and widows in their affliction, and to preserve himself spotless from the world.
