¹⁷ And these signs shall follow them that believe: in my name they shall cast out devils: ¹⁸ they shall speak with new tongues: They shall take up serpents, and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall in no wise hurt them: they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.

¹ And afterward he went through every city and village preaching and publishing the glad tidings of the kingdom of God; and the twelve were with him. ² And certain women who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities, Mary called Magdalene, out of whom had gone seven devils, ³ And Joanna, the wife of Chuza, Herod's steward, and Susanna, and many others, who ministered to him of their substance. ⁴ And much people being gathered together, coming to him out of every city, he spake by a parable, A sower went forth to sow his seed: ⁵ and while he sowed, some fell by the way-side; and it was trodden down, and the birds of the air devoured it. ⁶ And some fell upon a rock, and springing up, it withered away, because it lacked moisture. ⁷ And some fell among thorns, and the thorns sprang up with it, and choked it. ⁸ And other fell on good ground, and sprang up, and bare fruit an hundred fold. And saying these things, he cried, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. ⁹ And his disciples asked him, What is this parable? ¹⁰ And he said, To you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God, but to others in parables, so that seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not understand. ¹¹ Now the parable is this: the seed is the word of God. ¹² Those by the way-side are they that hear; then cometh the devil and taketh away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved. ¹³ Those on the rock are they, who, when they hear, receive the word with joy. But they have no root, who for a while believe; but in time of temptation fall away. ¹⁴ That which fell among thorns are they, who, having heard, go forth, and are choked with cares, and riches, and pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to perfection. ¹⁵ But that on the good ground are they, who, having heard the word, keep it in an honest and good heart, and bring forth fruit with perseverance. ¹⁶ No man having lighted a candle, covereth it with a vessel, or putteth it under a bed; but setteth it on a candlestick, that they who come in may see the light. ¹⁷ For there is nothing hid that shall not be discovered, neither any thing concealed, that shall not be known and come to light. ¹⁸ Take heed therefore how ye hear; for whosoever hath, to him shall be given; and whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even what he hath. ¹⁹ Then came toward him his mother and his brethren, but could not come to him for the croud. ²⁰ And it was told him by some who said, Thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to see thee. ²¹ And he answering said to them, My mother and my brethren are these who hear the word of God and keep it. ²² And on a certain day he went into a vessel with his disciples: and he said to them, Let us go over to the other side of the lake. And they put to sea. ²³ And as they sailed, he fell asleep. And there came down a storm of wind on the lake, and they were filled with water, and were in danger. ²⁴ And they came and awoke him, saying, Master, master, we perish! And he arose and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water, and they ceased, and there was a calm. ²⁵ And he said to them, Where is your faith? But they were afraid and wondered, saying one to another, What manner of man is this? For he commandeth even the winds and the water, and they obey him. ²⁶ And they sailed to the country of the Gadarenes, which is over-against Galilee. ²⁷ And as he went forth to land, there met him out of the city, a certain man that had had devils a long time, and wore no clothes, neither abode in an house, but in the tombs. ²⁸ But seeing Jesus, he cried out and fell down before him, and said with a loud voice, What hast thou to do with me, Jesus, thou Son of the most high God? I beseech thee, torment me not. ²⁹ (For he had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man: for many times it had caught him, and he had been kept bound with chains and fetters, and breaking the bands asunder, he had been driven by the spirit into the deserts.) ³⁰ And Jesus asked him, saying, What is thy name? And he said, Legion; because many devils had entered into him. ³¹ And they besought him, that he would not command them to go into the abyss. ³² And there was an herd of many swine feeding on the mountain: and they besought him, that he would suffer them to enter into them. ³³ And he suffered them. Then went the devils out of the man, and entered into the swine; and the herd rushed down a steep place into the lake and were choked. ³⁴ And they that fed them, seeing what was done, fled, and went and told it in the city and in the country. ³⁵ Then they went out to see what was done, and came to Jesus, and found the man out of whom the devils were departed, sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed, and in his right mind; and they were afraid. ³⁶ They also that had seen it told them, How he that was possessed by the devils was healed. ³⁷ Then the whole multitude of the country of the Gadarenes round about, besought him to depart from them; for they were taken with great fear, and he went in the vessel and returned. ³⁸ And the man out of whom the devils were departed, besought him that he might be with him. But Jesus sent him away, saying, Return home, ³⁹ and shew what great things God hath done for thee. And he went and published through the whole city, how great things Jesus had done for him. ⁴⁰ And when Jesus returned, the people gladly received him; for they were all waiting for him. ⁴¹ And behold there came a man named Jairus, and he was ruler of the synagogue; and falling down at the feet of Jesus, he besought him to come to his house. ⁴² For he had an only daughter, about twelve years of age, and she lay dying. But as he went, the people thronged him. ⁴³ And a woman who had had an issue of blood twelve years, and had spent all her living upon Physicians, neither could be healed by any, ⁴⁴ Came behind him and touched the border of his garment, and immediately her issue of blood stanched. ⁴⁵ And Jesus said, Who touched me? When all denied, Peter and they that were with him said, Master, the multitude throng thee and press thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me? ⁴⁶ And Jesus said, Some one hath touched me; for I know that virtue is gone out of me. ⁴⁷ And the woman, seeing that 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 had been healed immediately. ⁴⁸ And he said to her, Daughter, take courage: thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace. ⁴⁹ While he yet spake, there cometh one from the ruler of the synagogue's house, saying to him, Thy daughter is dead; trouble not the master. ⁵⁰ Jesus hearing it answered him, saying, Fear not; believe only, and she shall be made whole. ⁵¹ And coming into the house, he suffered none to go in, save Peter and James and John, and the father and mother of the maiden. ⁵² And all wept and bewailed her. But he said, Weep not; she is not dead; but sleepeth. ⁵³ And they laughed him to scorn, knowing that she was dead. ⁵⁴ And he put them all out, and taking her by the hand, called, saying, Maid, arise. ⁵⁵ And her spirit returned, and she arose straightway, and he commanded to give her meat. ⁵⁶ And her parents were astonished: but he charged them, to tell no man that which had been done.

³ Remembring without ceasing your work of faith, and labour of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of our God and Father: ⁴ ) Knowing, beloved brethren, your election of God. ⁵ For our gospel came not to you in word only, but also with power, and with the Holy Ghost, and with much assurance; as ye know what manner of men we were among you, for your sake. ⁶ And ye became imitators of us and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Ghost. ⁷ So that ye became examples to all that believed in Macedonia and Achaia. ⁸ For from you the word of the Lord sounded forth, not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but your faith toward God went abroad in every place also, so that we need not speak any thing. ⁹ For they themselves declare concerning us, what manner of entrance to you we had, and how ye turned from idols to God,

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 saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride, adorned for her husband. ³ And I heard a loud voice out of heaven saying, Behold the tabernacle of God with men, and he will dwell with them; and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them and be their God. ⁴ And he shall wipe away all tears from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall sorrow, or crying, or pain, be any more; because the former things are gone away. ⁵ And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold I make all things new. And he saith to me, Write: these sayings are faithful and true. 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 thirsteth of the fountain of the water of life freely. ⁷ He that overcometh shall inherit these things; and I will be to him a God, and he shall be to me a son. ⁸ But the fearful, and unbelieving, and abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, their part is in the lake that burneth with fire and brimstone, which is the second death. ⁹ And there came one of the seven angels that had the seven phials full of the seven last plagues, and talked with me, saying, Come hither, I will shew thee the bride, the Lamb's wife. ¹⁰ And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and shewed me the holy city Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God, ¹¹ Having the glory of God: her window was like the most precious stone, like a jasper stone, ¹² clear as crystal, Having a wall great and high, having twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and the names written thereon, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel: On the east three gates, ¹³ and on the north three gates, and on the south three gates, and on the west three gates. ¹⁴ And the walls of the city had twelve foundations, and upon them the twelve names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb. ¹⁵ And he that talked with me had a measure, a golden reed, to measure the city, and the gates thereof, and the walls thereof. ¹⁶ And the city lyeth four-square, and the length is as large as the breadth. And he measured the city with the reed twelve thousand furlongs: the length, and the breadth, and the height of it, are equal. ¹⁷ And he measured the wall thereof, an hundred forty-four reeds, the measure of a man, that is, of an angel. ¹⁸ And the building of the wall thereof was jasper, and the city was of pure gold, like clear glass. ¹⁹ And the foundations of the wall of the city were adorned with all manner of precious stones. The first foundation was a jasper, the second a sapphire, ²⁰ the third a chalcedony, the fourth an emerald, The fifth a sardonyx, the sixth a sardius, the seventh a chrysolite, the eighth a beryl, the ninth a topaz, the tenth a chrysophrase, the eleventh a jacinth, the twelfth an amethyst. ²¹ And the twelve gates were twelve pearls, each of the gates was of one pearl: and the street of the city was pure gold, transparent as glass. ²² And I saw no temple therein; for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it. ²³ And the city hath no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine on it; for the glory of God hath inlightened it, and the Lamb is the lamp thereof. ²⁴ And the nations shall walk by the light thereof; and the kings of the earth bring their glory into it. ²⁵ And the gates of it shall not be shut by day: and there shall be no night there. ²⁶ And they shall bring the glory and the honour of the nations into it. ²⁷ But there shall in no wise enter into it any thing common, or that worketh abomination, or maketh a lie, but they who are written in the Lamb's book of life.

¹ And he shewed me a river of the water of life clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb. ² In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river is the tree of life, bearing twelve sorts of fruits, yielding its fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations. ³ And there shall be no more curse; but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall worship him, ⁴ And shall see his face, and his name shall be on their foreheads. ⁵ And there shall be no night there, neither is there need of a lamp, or of the light of the sun; for the Lord God will give them light, and they shall reign for ever. ⁶ And he said to me, These sayings are faithful and true: the Lord the God of the holy prophets hath sent his angel, to shew his servants the things which must be done shortly. ⁷ Behold, I come quickly: happy is he that keepeth the words of the prophecy of this book. ⁸ And it was I John, who heard and saw these things; and when I had heard and seen, I fell down to worship at the feet of the angel who shewed me these things. ⁹ But he saith to me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellow-servant, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them who keep the sayings of this book; worship God. ¹⁰ And he saith to me, Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book: the time is nigh. ¹¹ He that is unrighteous, let him be unrighteous 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 Behold I come quickly, and my reward is with me, to render to every one as his work shall be. ¹³ I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end. ¹⁴ Happy are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in by the gates into the city. ¹⁵ Without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and every one that loveth and maketh a lie. ¹⁶ I Jesus have sent my angel to testify to you, to the churches, these things. I am the root and the off-spring of David, the bright, the morning-star. And the spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. ¹⁷ And let him that thirsteth, come: let him that willeth, take the water of life freely. ¹⁸ I testify to every one that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, if any man add to them, God shall add to him the plagues that are written in this book. ¹⁹ And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part of the tree of life, and the holy city, which are written in this book. ²⁰ He that testifieth these things saith, Yea, I come quickly. Amen: Come, Lord Jesus! ²¹ The grace of the Lord Jesus be with you all.

⁹ For in him dwelleth the fulness of the Godhead bodily. ¹⁰ And ye are filled by him, who is the head of all principality and power.

²⁵ He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world, shall preserve it to life eternal.

¹³ But when he, the Spirit of truth is come, he will guide you into all the truth; for he will not speak of himself: but whatsoever he shall hear, he will speak; and he will shew you things to come.

¹⁷ descending from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.

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 abundantly.

¹ James a servant of God, and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting. ² My brethren, count it all joy, when ye fall into divers temptations, Knowing that the trying of your faith worketh patience. ³ But let patience have it's perfect work, ⁴ that ye may be perfect and intire, wanting nothing. ⁵ If any of you want wisdom, let him ask of God, who giveth to all men liberally and upbraideth not, and it shall be given him. ⁶ But let him ask in faith, nothing doubting: for he that doubteth is like a wave of the sea, driven with the wind and tossed. ⁷ For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing from the Lord. ⁸ A double-minded man is unstable in all his ways. ⁹ Let the brother of low degree rejoice in that he is exalted: ¹⁰ But the rich, in that he is made low; because as the flower of the grass he shall pass away. ¹¹ For the sun arose with a burning heat, and withered the grass, and the flower fell off, and the beauty of it's appearance perished: so also shall the rich man fade away in his ways. ¹² Happy is the man that endureth temptation: for when he hath been proved, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him. ¹³ Let no man when he is tempted say, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man. ¹⁴ But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away by his own desire and inticed. ¹⁵ Then desire having conceived, bringeth forth sin; and sin being perfected, bringeth forth death. ¹⁶ Do not err, my beloved brethren. Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, ¹⁷ descending from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning. ¹⁸ Of his own will begat he us by the word of truth, that we might be a kind of first fruits 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 Therefore laying aside all the filthiness and superfluity of wickedness, receive with meekness the ingrafted word, which is able to save your souls. ²² But be ye doers of the word and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves: ²³ For if any one be an hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like a man beholding his natural face in a glass. ²⁴ For he beheld himself, and went away, and immediately forgot what manner of man he was. ²⁵ But whoso looketh diligently into the perfect law, the law of liberty, and continueth therein, this man being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the word, this man shall be happy in his doing. ²⁶ If any one be ever so religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion is vain. ²⁷ Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspoted from the world.
