ADYEETISEMENT.

The design of the Publishers ia this edition of the English New Testament
is the employment of that Version as a groundwork on which to exhibit the
results of the criticism of the original text, for the use of the general reader.
For this purpose, they have taken the following critical Texts to furnish the
readings which have been thus exhibited ; those, namely, of Lachmann ; of
Tischendorf, in his last completed edition ; of the Twofold New Testament,
slightly altered in some places, on a careful review; of Alford, as finally
given ia the abridgment of his larger work; and of Tregelles, as far as it
has been already published.
With each variation from the common reading, those of the above-named
critical texts are cited ia which such variation has been adopted ; and, in
addition, the principal documents by which it is supported, whenever such
citation has been deemed material.

Omissions from the common text are marked by brackets.
Insertions are printed in Italics, and enclosed in brackets.
Variations are indicated thus : I her first-born son : a son\.

SAINT MATTHEW.

CHAP. I.
THE book of tlie generation of
Jesus Christ, the son of David,
the son of Abraham.
2 Abraham begat Isaac ; and
Isaac begat Jacob ; and Jacob begat
Judas and his brethren ;
3 And Judas begat Phares and
Zara of Thamar ; and Phares begat
Esrom ; and Esrom begat Aram ;
4 And Aram begat Aminadab ;
and Aminadab begat Naasson ; and
Naasson begat Salmon ;
5 And Salmon begat Booz of
Rachab ; and Booz begat Obed of
Ruth ; and Obed begat Jesse ;
6 And Jesse begat David the king ;
and David [the king] begat Solomon
of her that had been the wife of Urias ;
7 And Solomon begat Roboam ;
and Roboam begat Abia ; and Abia
begat Asa ;
8 And Asa begat Josaphat ; and
Josaphat begat Joram ; and Joram
begat Ozias ;
9 And Ozias begat Joatham ; and
Joatham begat Achaz ; and Achaz
begat Ezekias ;
10 And Ezekias begat Manasses ;
and Manasses begat Amon ; and
Amon begat Josias ;
11 And Josias begat Jechonlas
and his brethren, about the time they
were carried away to Babylon :
12 And after they were brought
to Babylon, Jechonias begat Salathiel ;
and Salathiel begat Zorotjabel ;

13 And Zorobabel begat Abiud ;
and Abiud begat Eliakim ; and
Eliakim begat Azor ;
14 And Azor begat Sadoc ; and
Sadoc begat Achim ; and Achim
begat Eliud ;
15 And Eliud begat Eleazar ; and
Eleazar begat Matthan ; and Matthan
begat Jacob ;
16 And Jacob begat Joseph the
husband of Mary, of whom was bom
Jesus, who is called Christ.
17 So all the generations from
Abraham to David are fourteen gene
rations ; and from David until the
carrying away into Babylon are four
teen generations ; and from the carry
ing away into Babylon unto Christ
are fourteen generations.
18 % Now the birth of [Jesus]
Christ was on this wise : When as his
mother Mary was espoused to Joseph,
before .they came together, she was
found with child of the Holy Ghost.
19 Then Joseph her husband,
being a just man, and not willing
I to make her a public example :
to expose her |, was minded to put
her away privily.
20 But while he thought on these
things, behold, the angel of the Ivord
appeared unto him in a dream, say
ing, Joseph, thou son of David, fear
not to take unto thee Mary thy wife :
for that which is conceived in her is
ofthe Holy Ghost.
21 And she shall bring forth a
son, and thou shalt call his name

-JESUS : for he shall save his people
from their sins.
22 Now all this was done, that it
might be fulfilled which was spoken
of the Lord by the prophet, saying,
23 Behold, a virgin shall be with
child, and shall bring forth a son,
and they shall call his name Em
manuel, which being interpreted is,
God with us.
24 Then Joseph being raised from
sleep did as the angel of the Lord
had bidden him, and took unto him
his wife :
25 And knew her not till she had
brought forth |her firstborn son : a

CHAP. IL

NOW when Jesus was bom in
Bethlehem of Judaea in the
days of Herod the king, behold, there
came wise men from the east to
Jerusalem, 2 Saying, Where is he that is
born King of the Jews ? for we have
seen his star in the east, and are come
to worship him.
3 When Herod the king had
heard these things, he was troubled,
and all Jerusalem with him.
4 And when he had gathered all
the chief priests and scribes of the
people together, he demanded of them
where Christ should be born.
5 And they said unto him, In
Bethlehem of Judaea : for thus it is
written by the prophet,
6 And thou Bethlehem, in the
land of Juda, art not the least among
the princes of Juda : for out of thee
shall come a Governor, that shall rule
ray people Israel.
7 Then Herod, when he had
privily called the wise men, enquired
of them diligently what time the star
appeared.

8 And he sent them to Bethlehem,
and said, Go and search diligently for
the young child ; and when ye have
found him, bring me word again,
that I may come and worship him also.
9 When they had heard the king,
they departed ; and, lo, the star,
which they saw in the east, went be
fore them, till it came and stood over
where the young child was,
10 When they saw the star, they
rejoiced with exceeding great joy.
1 1 IT And when they were come
into the house, they saw the young
child with Mary his mother, and fell
down, and worshipped him : and
when they had opened their trea
sures, they presented unto him gifts ;
gold, and frankincense, and myrrh.
12 And being warned of God in
a dream that they should not return
to Herod, they departed into their
own country another way.
13 And when they were departed,
behold, the angel of the Lord appear-
eth to Joseph in a dream, saying.
Arise, and take the young child and
his mother, and flee into Egypt, and
be thou there until I bring thee word:
for Herod will seek the young child
to destroy him.
14 When he arose, he took tlie
young child and his mother by night,
and departed Into Egypt :
15 And was there until the death
of Herod : that it might be fulfilled
which was spoken of the Lord by the
prophet, saying, Out of Egypt have
I called my son.
16 1[ Then Herod, when he saw
that he was mocked of the wise men,
was exceeding wroth, and sent forth,
and slew all the children that were In
Bethlehem, and in all the coasts
thereof, from two years old and under,
according to the time which he had
diligently enquired of the wise men.

S. MATTHEW, IIL

17 Then was fulfilled that which
was spoken |by: through\ Jeremy
the prophet, saying.
18 In Rama was there a voice
heard, [lamentation, and] weeping,
and great mourning, Rachel weeping
for her children, and would not be
comforted, because they are not.
19 IT But when Herod was dead,
behold, an angel of the Lord appear-
eth in a dream to Joseph in Egypt,
20 Saying, Arise, and take the
young child and his mother, and go
Into the land of IsraeJ : for they are
dead which sought the young child's
life. 21 And he arose, and took the
young child and his mother, and came
into the land of Israel.
22 But when he heard that Arche
laus' did reign in Judaea in the room
of his father Herod, he was afraid to
go thither : notwithstanding, being
warned of God in a dream, he turned
aside into the parts of Galilee :
23 And he came and dwelt in a
city called Nazareth : that it might
be fulfilled which was spoken by
the prophets, He shall be called a
Nazarene. CHAP. III.
IN those days came John the
Baptist, preaching in the wilder
ness of Judasa,
2 [And] saying, Repent ye : for
the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
3 For this is he that was spoken
of I by : through ] the prophet Esaias,
saying, The voice of one crying in
the wilderness, Prepare ye the way
of the Lord, make his paths straight.

4 And the same John had his
raiment of camel's hair, and a leathern
girdle about his loins ; and his meat
was locusts and wild honey.
5 Then went out to him Jerusa
lem, and all Judaea, and all the region
round about Jordan,
6 And were baptized of him in
Jordan, confessing their sins.
7 IT But when he saw many of
the Pharisees and Sadducees come to
his baptism, he said unto them, Ogene-
ration of vipers, who hath warned
you to flee from the wrath to come ?
8 Bring forth therefore | fruits:
fruit I meet for repentance :
9 And think not to say within
yourselves, We have Abraham tO'
our father : for I say unto you, that
God is able of these stones to raise
up children unto Abraham.
10 And now [also] the axe is laid
unto the root of the trees : therefore
every tree which bringeth not forth
good fruit is hewn down, and cast
Into the fire,
11 I indeed baptize you with
water unto repentance : but he that
cometh after me is mightier than I,
whose shoes I am not worthy to bear :
he shall baptize you with the Holy
Ghost, and with fire :
12 Whose fan is In his hand, and
he will throughly purge his floor,
and gather his wheat into the garner;
but he will burn up the chaff with
unquenchable fire.
13 IT Then cometh Jesus from
Galilee to Jordan unto John, to be
baptized of him,
14 But John forbad him, saying,

S. MATTHEW, IV,

I have need to be baptized of thee,
and com est thou to me ?
15 And Jesus answering said unto
him, Suffer it to be so now : for thus
it becometh us to fulfil all righteous
ness. Then he sufiered him.
16 And Jesus, when he was
baptized, went up straightway out
of the water : and, lo, the heavens
were opened unto him, and he saw
the Spirit of God descending like a
dove, and lighting upon him :
17 And lo a voice from heaven,
saying, This is my beloved Son, In
whom I am well pleased.
CHAP. IV.
THEN was Jesus led up of the
spirit into the wilderness to be
tempted of the devil.
2 And when he had fasted forty
days and forty nights, he was after
ward an hungred.
3 And when the tempter came to
him, he said, If thou be the Son of
God, command that these stones be
made bread.
4 But he answered and said, It
is written, Man shall not live by
bread alone, but by every word
that proceedeth out of the mouth
of God.
5 Then the devil taketh him up
into the holy city, and setteth him
on a pinnacle of the temple,
6 And saith unto him, If thou be
the Son of God, cast thyself down:
for it Is written. He shall give his
angels charge concerning thee: and
in their hands they shall bear thee
up, lest at any time thou dash thy
foot against a stone.
7 Jesus said unto him, It is writ
ten again, fhou shalt not tempt the
Lord thy God.
8 Again, the devil taketh him up
into an exceeding high mountain,

and sheweth him all the kingdoms
ofthe world, and the glory of them;
9 And saith unto him, All these
things will I give thee, if thou wilt
fall down and worship me.
10 Then saith Jesus unto him. Get
thee hence, Satan : for it is written,
Thou shalt worship the Lord thy
God, and him only shalt thou serve. ,
11 Then the devil leaveth him,
and, behold, angels came and min
istered unto him.
12 1[ Now when [Jesus] had heard
that John was cast into prison, he
departed into Galilee ;
13 And leaving Nazareth, he
came and dwelt in Capernaum;
which is upon the sea coast, in the
borders of Zabulon and Nephthalim:
14 That it might be, fulfilled
which was spoken by Esaias the pro
phet, saying,
15 The land of Zabulon, and the
land of Nephthalim, by the way of
the sea, beyond Jordan, Galilee of
the Gentiles;
16 The people which sat in dark
ness saw great light; and to them
which sat in the region and shadow
of death light Is sprung up.
17 IT From that time Jesus began
to preach, and to say, Repent: for
the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
18 IT And [Jesus] walking by the
sea of Galilee, saw two brethren,
Simon called Peter, and Andrew Ma
brother, casting a net into the sea:
for they were fishers.
19 And he saith unto them,
Follow me, and I will make you
fishers of men.
20 And they straightway left their'
nets, and followed him.
21 And going on from thence, he
saw other two brethren, James the
son of Zebedee, and John his bro- |
ther, in a ship with Zebedee their i

father, mending their nets; and he
called them.
22 And they immediately left the
ship and their father, and followed
him, 23 T And [Jesus] went about all
Galilee, teaching in their synagogues,
and preaching the gospel of the king
dom, and healing all manner of sick
ness and all manner of disease among
the people.
24 And his fame went through
out all Syria : and they brought unto
him all sick, people that were taken
with divers diseases and torments,
[and] those which were possessed
with devils, and those which were
lunatic, and those that had the palsy ;
and he healed them.
25 And there followed him great
multitudes of people from Galilee,
and from Decapolis, and from Jeru
salem, and from Judaea, and from
beyond Jordan.
CHAP, V,
AND seeing the multitudes, he
went up into a mountain: and
when he was set, his disciples came
unto him :
2 And he opened his mouth, and
taught them, saying,
3 Blessed are the poor in spirit:
for their's is the kingdom of heaven,
5 Blessed are the meek: for they
shall inherit the earth.
4 Blessed are they that mourn:
for they shall be comforted.
6 Blessed are they which do hun
ger and thirst after righteousness : for
they shall be filled.
7 Blessed are the merciful: for
they shall obtain mercy.
8 Blessed are the pure in heart:
for they shall see God.

9 Blessed are the peacemakers:
for they shall be called the children
of God.
10 Blessed are they which are
persecuted for righteousness' sake:
for their's is the kingdom of heaven.
1 1 Blessed are ye, when men shall
revile you, and persecute you, and
shall say all manner of evil against
you [falsely] for my sake.
1 2 Rej oice, and be exceeding glad :
for great is your reward in heaven :
for so persecuted they the prophets
which were before you.
13 IT Ye are the salt of the earth:
but if the salt have lost his savour,
wherewith shall it be salted? it is
thenceforth good for nothing, but to
be cast out, and to be trodden under
foot of men,
14 Ye are the light of the world.
A city that is set on an hill cannot
be hid.
15 Neither do men light a candle,
and put it under a bushel, but on a
candlestick: and It giveth light unto
all that are in the house.
16 Let your light so shine before
men, that they may see your good
works, and glorify your Father which
is in heaven.
17 IT Think not that I am come
to destroy the law, or the prophets:
I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
18 For verily I say unto you, Till
heaven and earth pass, one jot or one
tittle shall in no wise pass from the
law, till all be fulfilled.
19 Whosoever therefore shall break
one of these least commandments,
and shall teach men so, he shall be
called the least in the kingdom of
heaven : but whosoever shall do and
teach them, the same shall be called
great in the kingdom of heaven.

S. MATTHEW, V,

20 For 1 say unto you, That
except your righteousness shall exceed
the righteousness of the scribes and
Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter
into the kingdom of heaven,
21 IT Ye have heard that it was
said by them of old time. Thou shalt
not kill ; and whosoever shall kill
shall be In danger of the judgment:
22 But I say unto you, That who
soever is angry with his brother
[without a cause] shall be in danger of
the judgment: and whosoever shall
say to his brother, Raca, shall be in
danger of the council : but whosoever
shall say. Thou fool, shall be in
danger of hell fire.
23 Therefore if thou bring thy
gift to the altar, and there remember-
est that thy brother hath ought
against thee ;
24 Leave there thy gift before the
altar, and go thy way ; first be recon
ciled to thy brother, and then come
and offer thy gift.
25 Agree with thine adversary
quickly, whiles thou art in the way
with him ; lest at any time the adver
sary deliver thee to the judge, and
the judge deliver thee to the officer,
and thou be cast into prison.
26 Verily I say unto thee, Thou
shalt by no means come out thence, till
thou hast paid the uttermost farthing.
27 IT Ye have heard that it was
said [by them of old time]. Thou shalt
not commit adultery:
28 But I say unto you, That who
soever looketh on a woman to lust
after her hath committed adultery
with her already in his heart.
29 And If thy right eye offend
thee, plucks it out, and cast it from
thee : for it is profitable for thee that

one of thy members should perish,
and not that thy whole body should
be cast into hell.
30 And. if thy right hand offend
thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee :
for it is profitable for thee that one of
thy members should perish, and not
that thy whole body [should be cast:
go away\ into hell.
31 It hath been said. Whosoever
shall put away his wife, let him give
her a writing of divorcement :
32 But I say unto you, That who
soever shall put away his wife, saving
for the cause of fornication, causeth
her to commit adultery: and whoso
ever shall marry her that is divorced
committeth adultery.
33 If Again, ye have heard that
it hath been said by them of old
time, Thou shalt not forswear thyself,
but shalt perform unto the Lord
thine oaths:
34 But I say unto you, Swear not
at all; neither by heaven; for it Is
God's throne :
35 Nor by the earth ; for it is hia
footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for
it is the city of the great King.
36 Neither shalt thou swear hy
thy head, because thou canst not
make one hair white or black.

be : your communication shall le\
Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever
is more than these cometh of evil. "

been said. An eye for an eye, and a
tooth for a tooth :

resist not evil : but whosoever shall
smite thee on thy right cheek, turn
to him the other also,

enemies, [bless them that curse you,
do good to them that hate you], and
pray for them which [despitefully use
you, and] persecute you ;
45 That ye may be the children
of your Father which is in heaven :
for he maketh his sun to rise on the
evil and on the good, and sendeth rain
on the just and on the unjust.

you, what reward have ye ? do not
even the publicans |the same: so\ ?
47 And If ye salute your brethren
only, what do ye more than others?
do not even the | publicans : heathen |

as your | Father which is m heaven :
heavenly Father \ Is perfect.

TAKE heed that ye do not your
|alms : righteousness | before men,

to be seen of them : otherwise ye have
no reward of your Father which is in
heaven. 2 Therefore when thou doest thine
alms, do not sound a trumpet before
thee, as the hypocrites do in the syna
gogues and in the streets, that they
may have glory of men. Verily I say
unto you, They have their reward.
3 But when thou doest alms, let
not thy left hand know what thy right
hand doeth :
4 That thine alms may be in secret :
and thy Father which seeth in secret
[himself] shall reward thee [openly].
5 If And when |thou prayest, thou
shalt : ye pray., ye shall | not be as
the hypocrites are : for they love to
pray standing in the synagogues
and in the corners of the streets
that they may be seen of men. Verily,
I say unto you, They have their
reward. 6 But thou, when thou prayest,
enter into thy closet, and when thou
hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father
which Is in secret; and thy Father
which seeth in secret shall reward
thee [openly].
7 But when ye pray, use not vain
repetitions, as the heathen do: for
they think that they shall be heard
for their much speaking,

them : for your Father knoweth what 1
things ye have need of, before ye ask
him. 9 After this manner therefore
pray ye: Our Father which art in
heaven. Hallowed be thy name,
10 Thy kingdom come. Thy will
be done in earth, as it Is in heaven.
1 1 Give us this day our daily bread.
12 And forgive us our debts, as we
[forgive: have forgiven\ our debtors.
13 And lead us not into temp
tation, but deliver us from evil:
[For thine is the kingdom, and the
power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.]
14 For if ye forgive men their
trespasses, your heavenly Father will
also forgive you :
15 But if ye forgive not men
[their trespasses], neither will your
Father forgive your trespasses.
16 If Moreover when ye fast, be not,
as the hypocrites, of a sad counte
nance : for they disfigure their faces,
that they may appear unto men to
fast. Verily I say unto you, They
have their reward.
17 But thou, when thou fastest,
anoint thine head, and wash thy face ;
18 That thou appear not unto
men to fast, but unto thy Father
which is in secret: and thy Father,

32 (For after all these things do
the Gentiles seek :) for your heavenly
Father knoweth that ye have need
of all these things.
33 But seek ye first the kingdom
of God, and his righteousness; and
all these things shall be added unto
you. 34 Take therefore no thought for
the morrow: for the morrow shall
take thought for [the things of] itself. 1
Sufficient unto the day is the evil
thereof. CHAP. VIL
JUDGE not, that ye be not judged.
2 For with what judgment ye
judge, ye shall be judged: and with
what measure ye mete, it shall be
measured to you [again].
3 And why beholdest thou the
mote that is in thy brother's eye, but
considerest not the beam that is in
thine own eye?
4 Or how wilt thou say to thy
brother. Let me pull out the mote
out of thine eye ; and, behold, a beam
is in thine own eye?
5 Thou hypocrite, first cast out
the beam out of thine own eye; and
then shalt thou see clearly to cast
out the mote out of thy brother's
eye, 6 If Give not that which is holy
unto the dogs, neither cast ye your
pearls before swine, lest they trample
them under their feet, and turn again
and rend you.
7 If Ask, and it shall be given you ;
seek, and ye shall find; knock, and
it shall be opened unto you :
8 For every one that asketh re

and to him that knocketh it shall be
opened. 9 Or what man is there of you

whom if his son ask bread, will he
give him a stone?
10 Or if he ask a fish, will he give
him a serpent?
11 If ye then, being evil, know
how to give good gifts unto your
children, how much more shall your
Father which is in heaven give good

things to them that ask him?
12 Therefore all things whatso
ever ye would that men should do to
you, do ye even so to them : for this
is the law and the prophets.
13 1 Enter ye in at the strait gate:
for wide Is the gate, and broad is the
way, that leadeth to destruction,
and many there be which go in
thereat :
14 Because strait is the gate, and
narrow is the way, which leadeth
unto life, and few there be that
find it.
15 If Beware of false prophets, which
come to you in sheep's clothing,
but inwardly they are ravening
wolves. 16 Ye shall know them by their
fruits. Do men gather grapes of
thorns, or figs of thistles?
17 Even so every good tree bring

tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
18 A, good tree cannot bring forth
evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree
bring forth good fruit.
19 Every tree that bringeth not
forth good fruit is hewn down, and
cast into the fire.
20 Wherefore by their fruits ye
shall know them.

name have cast out devils? and in
thy name done many wonderful
works ?
23 And then will I profess unto
them, I never knew you: depart
from me, ye that work iniquity.
24 If Therefore whosoever heareth
these sayings of mine, and doeth them,
I will liken him unto a wise man,
which built his house upon a rock :
25 And the rain descended, and
the floods came, and the winds blew,
and beat upon that house; and it fell
not: for it was founded upon a rock.
26 And every one that heareth
these sayings of mine, and doeth
them not, shall be likened unto a
foolish man, which built his house
upon the sand :
27 And the rain descended, and
the floods came, and the winds blew,
and beat upon that house; and it
fell : and great was the fall of it.
28 And it came to pass, when
.Jesus had ended these sayings, the
people were astonished at his doc
trine :
29 For he taught them as one
having authority, and not as |the :
their\ scribes. CHAP. VIII.
WHEN he was come down from
the mountain, great multitudes
followed him.
2 And, behold, there [came : dreic
near\ a leper and worshipped him,
saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst
make me clean.
3 And [Jesus] put forth his hand,

and touched him, saying, I will; be
thou clean. And immediately his
leprosy was cleansed.
4 And Jesus saith unto him. See
thou tell no man ; but go thy way,
shew thyself to the priest, and offer
the gift that Moses commanded, for
a testimony unto them.
5 If And when [Jesus] was entered
into Capernaum, there came unto
him a centurion, beseeching him,
6 And saying. Lord, my servant
lieth at home sick of the palsy,
grievously tormented.
7 [And Jesus] saith unto him, I
will come and heal him.
8 The centurion answered and said,
Lord, I am not worthy that thou
shouldest come under my roof: hut
speak I the word: with a word\ only,
and my servant shall be healed.
9 For I am a man under au
thority, having soldiers under me:
and I say to this man. Go, and he
goeth ; and to another, Come, and he
cometh ; and to my servant, Do this,

not found so great faith, no, not In

14 If And when Jesus was come
into Peter's house, he saw his wife's
mother laid, and sick of a fever.
15 And he touched her hand, and
the fever left her : and she arose, and
ministered unto |them: him\.
16 If When the even was come,
they brought unto him many that
were possessed with devils: and he
cast out the spirits with his word, and
healed all that were sick :
17 That it might be fulfilled which
was spoken by Esaias the prophet,
saying. Himself took our infirmities,
and bare our sicknesses.
18 If Now when Jesus s^w great
multitudes about him, he gave com
mandment to depart unto the other
side. 19 And a certain scribe came, and
said unto him. Master, I will follow
thee whithersoever thou goest.
20 And Jesus saith unto him,
The foxes have holes, and the birds
of the air have nests ; but the Son of
man hath not where to lay his head.
21 And another of |his: the\ disci
ples said unto him. Lord, suffer me
first to go and bury my father.
22 But Jesus said unto him. Follow
me ; and let the dead bury their dead.
23 If And when he was entered
into a ship, his disciples followed him.
24 And, behold, there arose a
great tempest in the sea, insomuch
that the ship was covered with the
waves: but he was asleep.

25 And |his disciples : they] came to
him, and awoke him, saying, Lord,
save [us] : we perish.
26 And he saith unto them, Why
are ye fearful, 0 ye of little faith?
Then he arose, and rebuked the winds
and the sea ; and there was a great
calm. 27 But the men marvelled, saying.
What manner of man is this, that
even the winds and the sea obey
him! 28 % And when he was come to
the other side into the country of
the Gergesenes, there met him two
possessed with devils, coming out of
the tombs, exceeding fierce, so that
no man might pass by that way.
29 And, behold, they cried out,
saying. What have we to do with
thee, [Jesus,] thou Son of God? art
thou come hither to torment us before
the time ?
30 And there was a good way off
from them an herd of many swine
feeding. 31 So the devils besought him,
saying, If thou cast us out, [suffer us

swine. 32 And he said unto them, Go.
And when they were come out, they
went into the herd of swine: and,
behold, the whole herd of swine ran
violently down a steep place into the
sea, and perished In the waters.
33 And they that kept them fled,
and went their ways into the city,
and told every thing, and what was
befallen to the possessed of the devils.

they saw him, they besought him
that he would depart out of their
coasts.
CHAP. IX.
AND he entered into a ship, and
passed over, and came into his
own city.
2 And, behold, they brought to
him a man sick of the palsy, lying
on a bed: and Jesus seeing their
faith said unto the sick of the palsy ;
Son, be of good cheer ; thy sins be
forgiven [thee].
3 And, behold, certain of the
scribes said within themselves, This
man blasphemeth.
4 And Jesus knowing their thoughts
said. Wherefore think ye evil in your
hearts ?
5 For whether is easier, to say.
Thy sins be forgiven thee ; or to say.
Arise, and walk ?
6 But that ye may know that the
Son of man hath power on earth to
forgive sins, (then saith he to the sick
of the palsy,) Arise, take up thy bed,
and go unto thine house.
7 And he arose, and departed to
his house.
8 But when the multitudes saw it,
they [marvelled: were afraid\, and
glorified God, which had given such
power unto men.
9 If And as Jesus passed forth from
thence, he saw a man, named Mat
thew, sitting at the receipt of custom :
and he saith unto him, Follow me.
And he arose, and followed him.
10 If And it came to pass, as Jesus
sat at meat in the house, behold,
many publicans and sinners came

and sat down with him and his dis
ciples, 11 And when the Pharisees saw
It, they said unto his disciples. Why
eateth your Master with publicans
and sinners?
12 But when Jesus heard that, he
said [unto them] , They that be whole
need not a physician, but they that
are sick,
13 But go ye and leam what that
mean eth, I will have mercy, and not
sacrifice : for I am not come to call the
righteous, but sinners [to repentance].
14 If Then came to him the dis
ciples of John, saying, Why do we
and the Pharisees fast oft, but thy
disciples fast not?
15 And Jesus said unto them,
Can the children of the bridechamber
mourn, as long as the bridegroom
Is with them? but the days will
come, when the bridegroom shall be
taken from them, and then shall they
fast, 16 No man putteth a piece of new
cloth unto an old garment, for that
which is put in to fill it up taketh
from the garment, and the rent Is
made worse.
17 Neither do men put new wine
into old bottles: else the bottles
break, and the wine runneth out, and
the bottles perish : but they put new
wine Into new bottles, and both are
preserved. 18 1^ While he spake these things
unto them, behold, there [came: came
in\ a certain ruler, and worshipped
him, saying. My daughter is even
now dead : but come and lay thy
hand upon her, and she shall live.

19 And Jesus arose, and followed
him, and so did his disciples,
20 And, behold, a woman, which
was diseased with an issue of blood
twelve years, came behind him, and
touched the hem of his garment :
21 For she said within herself. If
I may but touch his garment, I shall
be whole,
22 But Jesus turned him about,
and when he saw her, he said, Daugh
ter, be of good comfort; thy faith
hath made thee whole. And the
woman was made whole from that
hour. 23 And when Jesus came into the
ruler's house, and saw the minstrels
and the people making a noise,
24 He said [unto them], Give
place : for the maid is not dead, but
sleepeth. And they laughed him to
scorn. 25 But when the people were put
forth, he went in, and took her by
the hand, and the maid arose.
26 And the fame hereof went
abroad into all that land.
27 If And when Jesus departed
thence, two blind men followed him,
crying, and saying. Thou son of Da-
' vid, have mercy on us,
28 And when he was come Into
the house, the blind men came to
him: and Jesus saith unto them,
Believe ye that I am able to do
this ? They said unto him, Yea,
Lord, 29 Then touched he their eyes,
; saying, According to your faith be It
unto you,
, 30 And their eyes were opened ;
j and Jesus straitly charged them, say
ing, See that no man know it.
31 But they, when they were de

parted, spread abroad his fame in all
that country.
32 If As they went out, behold, they
brought to him a dumb man posses
sed with a devil.
33 And when the devil was cast
out, the dumb spake: and the mul
titudes marvelled, saying, It was
never so seen in Israel.
34 But the Pharisees said. He
casteth out devils through the prince
of the devils.
35 And Jesus went about all the
cities and villages, teaching in their
synagogues, and preaching the gospel
of the kingdom, and healing every
sickness and every disease [among the
people], 36 If But when he saw the multi
tudes, he was moved with compassion
on them, because they [fainted: were
troubled], and were scattered abroad,
as sheep having no shepherd.
37 Then saith he unto his disciples.
The harvest truly is plenteous, but
the labourers are few;
38 Pray ye therefore the Lord of
the harvest, that he will send forth
labourers into his harvest.

AND when he had called unto him
his twelve disciples, he gave
them power against unclean spitits, to
cast them out, and to heal all manner

Lebbasus, [whose surname was Thad

4 Simon one Canaanite, and Judas
Iscariot, who also betrayed him.
5 These twelve Jesus sent forth, and
commanded them, saying. Go not Into
the way of the Gentiles, and into any
city of the Samaritans enter ye not :
6 But go rather to the lost sheep
of the house of Israel.
7 And as ye go, preach, saying.
The kingdom of heaven is at hand.
8 Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers,
[raise the dead,] cast out devils:
freely ye have received, freely give.
9 Provide neither gold, nor silver,
nor brass In your purses,
10 Nor scrip for your journey, nei
ther two coats, neither shoes, nor yet
staves : for the workman is worthy of
his meat.
11 And into whatsoever city
town ye shall enter, enquire who In
it Is worthy ; and there abide till ye
go thence.
12 And when
house, salute it.
13 And if the house be worthy, let
your peace come upon it : but if It be not
worthy, let your peace return to you.
14 And whosoever shall not receive
you, nor hear your words, when ye
depart out of that house or city, shake
off the*dust of your feet.
15 Verily I say unto you. It shall
be more tolerable for the land of
Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of
judgment, than for that city.
16 If Behold, I send you forth as
sheep in the midst of wolves : be ye
therefore wise as serpents, and harm
less as doves.
17 But beware of men: for they

and they will scourge you In their
synagogues ;
18 And ye shall be brought before
governors and kings for my sake, for
a testimony against them and the
Gentiles. 19 But when they deliver you up,
take no thought how or what ye
shall speak : for it shall be given you
in that same hour what ye shall speak.
20 For it Is not ye that speak, but
the Spirit of your Father which speak
eth in you.
21 And the brother shall deliver
up the brother to death, and the
father the child: and the children
shall rise up against their parents,
and cause them to be put to death,
22 And ye shall be hated of aU
men for my name's sake : but he that

23 But when they persecute you
In this city, flee ye into another: for
verily I say unto you, Ye shall not

till the Son of man be come.
24 The disciple Is not above his
master, nor the servant above his lord,
25 It is enough for the disciple
that he be as his master, and the ser

AND it came to pass, when Jesus
had made an end of commanding
his twelve disciples, he departed thence
to teach and to preach in their cities.
2 Now when John had heard in
the prison the works of Christ, he
sent ]two of: through] his disciples,
3 And said unto him, Art thou
he that should come, or do we look
for another?
4 Jesus answered and said unto
them, Go and shew John again those
things which ye do hear and see :
5 The blind receive their sight,
and the lame walk, the lepers are
cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead
are raised up, and the poor have the
gospel preached to thera.
6 And blessed is he, whosoever
shall not be offended In me.
7 If And as they departed, Jesus
began to say unto the multitudes con
cerning John, What went ye out into
the wilderness to see ? A reed shaken
with the wind?
8 But what went ye out for to see?
A man clothed in soft raiment? be

11 Verily I say unto you, Among
them that are born of women there
hath not risen a greater than John
the Baptist: notwithstanding he that
is least in the kingdom of heaven Is
greater than he.
12 And from the days of John the
Baptist until now the kingdom of
heaven suffereth violence, and the
violent take it by force.
13 For all the prophets and the law
prophesied until John.
14 And If ye will receive it, this Is
Ellas, which was for to come.
15 He that hath ears [to hear],
let him hear.
1 6 If But whereunto shall I liken
this generation ? It Is like unto child
ren sitting In the markets, and calling
unto their fellows,
17 And saying, We have piped
unto you, and ye have not danced;
we have mourned [unto you], and ye
have not lamented.
18 For John came neither eating
nor drinking, and they say, He hath
a devil. 19 The Son of man came eating
and drinking, and they say, Behold
a man gluttonous, and a winebibber,
a friend of publicans and sinners.
But wisdom Is justified of her children.
20 If Then began he to upbraid the
cities wherein most of his mighty works
were done, because they repented not:
21 Woe unto thee, Chorazln ! woe
unto thee Bethsaida ! for if the mighty
works, which were done in you, had
been done in Tyre and SIdon, they
would have repented long ago In sack
cloth and ashes.
22 But I say unto you, It shall
be more tolerable for Tyre and SIdon
at the day of judgment, than for you,
23 And thou, Capernaum, which
art exalted unto heaven, shalt [ be

brought: come] down to hell: for If
the mighty works, which have been
done in thee, had been done in Sodom,
it would have remained until this day.
24 But I say unto you, That it
shall be more tolerable for the land
of Sodom in the day of judgment;
than for thee.
25 If At that time Jesus answered
and said, I thank thee, 0 Father,
Lord of heaven and earth, because
thou hast hid these things from the
wise and prudent, and hast revealed
them unto babes.
26 Even so. Father: for so it
seemed good in thy sight.
27 All things are delivered unto
me of my Father : and no man know
eth the Son, but the Father; neither
knoweth any man the Father, save
the Son, and he to whomsoever the
Son will reveal him.
28 If Come unto me, all ye that
labour and are heavy laden, and I
will give you rest,
29 Take my yoke upon you, and
learn of me ; for I am meek and lowly
in heart : and ye shall find rest unto
your souls.
30 For my yoke is easy, and my
burden is light.
CHAP. XIL
AT that time Jesus went on the
sabbath day through the corn;
and his disciples were an hungred,
and began to pluck the ears of corn,
and to eat.
2 But when the Pharisees saw it,
they said unto him. Behold, thy dis
ciples do that which is not lawful to
do upon the sabbath day.
3 But he said unto them, Have
ye not read what David did, when
he was an hungred, and they that <
were with him ;

4 How he entered into the house
of God, and did eat the shewbread,
which was not lawful for him to eat,
neither for them which were with
him, but only for the priests?
5 Or have ye not read in the law,
how that on the sabbath days the
priests in the temple profane the sab
bath, and are blameless?
6 But I say unto you, That in
this place is [one greater: a greater
thing] than the temple.
7 But if ye had known what this
meaneth, I will have mercy, and not
sacrifice, ye would not have con
demned the guiltless.
8 For the Son of man is Lord
[even] of the sabbath day.
9 And when he was departed
thence, he went into their synagogue :
10 If And, behold, there, was a
man which had his hand withered.
And they asked him, saying, Is it
lawful to heal on the sabbath days?
that they might accuse him.
11 And he said unto them, What
man [shall there be] among you, that
shall have one sheep, and if it fall
into a pit on the sabbath day, will
he not lay hold on it, and lift it out ?
12 How much then is a man
better than a sheep? Wherefore it is
lawliil to do well on the sabbath days.
13 Then saith he to the man,
Stretch forth thine hand. And he
stretched it forth ; and it was restored
whole, like as the other.
14 If Then the Pharisees went out,
and held a council against him, how
they might destroy him.
15 But when Jesus knew it, he
withdrew himself from thence: and
great multitudes followed him, and
he healed thera all ;

16 And charged them that they
should not make him known :
17 That it might be fulfilled which
was spoken by Esaias the prophet,
saying, 18 Behold my servant, whom I
have chosen ; my beloved, in whom
my soul is well pleased : I will put
my spirit upon 'him, and he shall shew
judgment to the Gentiles.
19 He shall not strive, nor cry;
neither shall any man hear his voice
in the streets.
20 A bruised reed shall he not
break, and smoking flax shall he not
quench, till he Send forth judgment
unto victory.
21 And in his name shall the Gen
tiles trust.
22 If Then was brought unto him
one possessed with a devil, blind, and
dumb: and he healed him, Insomuch
that [the blind and] dumb [both]
spake and saw.
23 And all the people were amazed,
and said, Is not this the son of David?
24 But when the Pharisees heard
It, they said. This fellow doth not
cast out devils, but by Beelzebub the
prince of the devils.
25 And [Jesus] knew their
thoughts, and said unto them. Every
kingdom divided against itself is
brought to desolation ; and every city
or house divided against itself shall
not stand:
26 And if Satan cast out Satan,
he is divided against himself; how
shall then his kingdom stand?
27 And if I by Beelzebub cast out
devils, by whora do your children
cast them out? therefore they shall
be your judges.
28 But if I cast out devils by the

Spirit of God, then the kingdom of
God is come unto you,
29 Or else how can one enter into a
strong man's house, and spoil his goods,
except he first bind the strong man ?
and then he will spoil his house,
30 He that is not with me is against
me; and he that gathereth not with
me scattereth abroad,
311 Wherefore I say unto you.
All manner of sin and blasphemy
shall be forgiven unto men : but the
blasphemy against the Holy Ghost
shall not be forgiven [unto men],
32 And whosoever speaketh a word
against the Son of man. It shall be
forgiven him : but whosoever speak
eth against the Holy Ghost, it shall
not be forgiven him, neither in this
world, neither in the world to come.
33 Either make the tree good, and
his fruit good; or else make the tree
corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for
the tree is known by his fruit.
34 0 generation of vipers, how
can ye, being evil, speak good things?
for out of the abundance of the heart
the mouth speaketh.
35 A gdod man out of the good
treasure [of the heart] bringeth forth
good things : and an evil man out of the
evil treasure bringeth forth evil things.
36 But I say unto you, That every
idle word that men shall speak, they
shall give account thereof in the day
of judgment. 37 For by thy words thou shalt
be justified, and by thy words thou
shalt be condemned.
38 If Then certain of the scribes
and ofthe Pharisees answered [Jiim'],
saying, Master, we would see a sign
from thee.
39 But he answered and said unto
them, An evil and adulterous gene

ration seeketh after a sign ; and there
shall no sign be given to it, but the
sign of the prophet Jonas :
40 For as Jonas was three days
and three nights in the whale's belly;
so shall the Son of man be three days
and three nights In the heart of the
earth. 41 The men of Nineveh shall rise
in judgment with this generation,
and shall condemn It: because they
repented at the preaching of Jonas;
and, behold, a greater than Jonas Is
here. 42 The queen of the south shall
rise up in the judgment with this
generation, and shall condemn it;
for she came from the uttermost
parts of the earth to hear the wisdom
of Solomon; and, behold, a greater
than Solomon is here,
43 When the unclean spirit is gone
out of a man, he walketh through dry
places, seeking rest, and findeth none.
44 Then he saith,' I will return
into my house from whence I came
out; and when he is come, he find
eth it empty, swept, and garnished.
45 Then goeth he, and taketh with
himself seven other spirits more
wicked than himself, and they enter
in and dwell there : and the last state
of that man is worse than the firet.
Even so shall it be also unto this
wicked generation,
46 I' While he yet talked to the
people, behold, his mother and his
brethren stood without, desiring to
speak with him,
47 Then one said unto him. Behold,
thy mother and thy brethren stand
without, desiring to speak with thee.!
48 But he answered and 'mi
unto him that told him. Who is my
mother? and who are my brethren?

CHAP. XIIL
THE same day went Jesus out of
the house, and sat by the sea side.
2 And great multitudes were ga
thered together unto him, so that he
went into a ship, and sat; and the
whole multitude stood on the shore.
3 And he spake many things unto
them in parables, saying, Behold, a
sower went forth to sow ;
4 And when he sowed, some seeds
fell by the way side, and the fowls
came and devoured them up :
5 Some fell upon stony places,
where they had not much earth:
and forthwith they sprung up, be
cause they had no deepness of earth :
6 And when the sun was up, they
were scorched; and because they had
no root, they withered away.
7 And some fell among thorns;
and the thorns sprung up, and choked
them: 8 But other fell into good ground,
and brought forth fruit, some an
hundredfold, some sixty fold, some
thirtyfold, 9 Who hath ears [to hear], let him
hear. 10 And the disciples came, and
said unto him, Why speakest thou
unto them in parables?
11 He answered and said unto
them, Because it is given unto you
to know the mysteries of the kingdom
of heaven, but to them it is not given.
12 For whosoever hath, to him
shall be given, and he shall have
more abundance : but whosoever hath
not, from him shall be taken away
even that he hath.

13 Therefore speak I to them in
parables : because they seeing see not ;
and hearing they hear not, neither do
they understand.
14 And in them is fulfilled the
prophecy of Esaias, which saith. By
hearing ye shall hear, and shall not
understand; and seeing ye shall see,
and shall not perceive :
15 For this people's heart is waxed
gross, and their ears are dull of hear
ing, and their eyes they have closed ;
lest at any time they should see with
their eyes, and hear with their ears,
and should understand with their
heart, and should be converted, and
I should heal them.
16 But blessed are your eyes, for
they see : and your ears, for they hear.
17 For verily I say unto you. That
many prophets and righteous men
have desired to see those things which
ye see, and have not seen them ; and
to hear those things which ye hear,
and have not heard them.
18 If Hear ye therefore the parable
ofthe sower.
1 9 When any one heareth the word
of the kingdom, and understandeth
It not, then cometh the wicked one,
and catcheth away that which was
sown In his heart. This is he which
received seed by the way side.
20 But he that received the seed
Into stony places, the same Is he that
heareth the word, and anon with joy
receiveth It;
21 Yet hath he not root in him
self, but dureth for a while: for
when tribulation or persecution arls-
eth because of the word, by and by
he is offended.
22 He also that received seed
among the thorns is he that heareth
the word ; and the care of this world,
and the deceitfulness of riches, choke
the word, and he becometh unfruit
ful.

23 But he that received seed into
the good ground is he that heareth
the word, and understandeth it;
which also beareth fruit, and bringeth
forth, some an hundredfold, some
sixty, some thirty.
24 If Another parable put he forth
unto them, saying. The kingdom of
heaven is likened unto a man which
sowed good seed in his field :
25 But while men slept, his enemy
came and sowed tares among the
wheat, and went his way.
26 But when the blade was sprung
up, and brought forth fruit, then
appeared the tares also.
27 So the servants of the house
holder came and said unto him. Sir,
didst not thou sow good seed in thy
field? from whence then hath it tares?
28 He said unto them. An enemy
hath done this, [The servants: and
they] said unto him. Wilt thou then
that we go and gather them up ?
29 But he said. Nay; lest while
ye gather up the tares, ye root up
also the wheat with them,
30 Let both grow together uutll
the harvest: and in the time of har
vest I will say to the reapers, Gather
ye together first the tares, and bind
them in bundles to burn them : but
gather the wheat into my barn,
¦ 31 If Another parable put he forth
unto them, saying, The kingdom of
heaven Is like to a grain of mustard
seed, which a man took, and sowed
in his field:
32 Which indeed Is the least of all
seeds : but when it is grown, it is the
greatest among herbs, and becometh a
tree, so that the birds of the air come
and lodge in the branches thereof

33 1 Another parable spake he
unto them; The kingdom of heaven
is like unto leaven, which a woman
took, and hid in. three measures of
meal, till the whole was leavened,
34 All these things spake Jesus
unto the multitude In parables; and
without a parable spake he not unto
them :
35 That it might be fulfilled which
was spoken by the prophet, saying, I
will open my mouth in parables; I will
utter things which have been kept se
cret from the foundation [ofthe world] .
36 Then [Jesus] sent the multi
tude away, and went Into the house :
and his disciples came unto him, say
ing, Declare unto us the parable of
the tares of the field.
37 He answered and said [unto
them], I He that soweth the good seed
is the Son of man ;
38 The field is the world ; the good
seed are the children of the kingdom ;
but the tares are the children of the
wicked one;
39 The enemy that sowed them Is
the devil ; the harvest is the end of the
world; and the reapers are the angels.
40 As therefore the tares are ga
thered and burned in the fire ; so shall
It be in the end of [this : the] world.
41 The Son of man shall send forth
his angels, and they shall gather out
of his kingdom all things that offend,
and them which do iniquity;
42 And shall cast them into a
furnace of fire : there shall be wailing
and gnashing of teeth.
43 Then shall the righteous shine
forth as the sun in the kingdom of
their Father. Who hath ears [to
hear], let him hear.

44 If [Again,] the kingdom of hea^

field; the which when a man hath
found, he hideth, and for joy thereof
goeth and selleth all that he hath,
and buyeth that field.
45 ll Again, the kingdom of hea

seeking goodly pearls :
46 Who, when he had found one
pearl of great price, went and sold all
that he had, and bought it.
47 If Again, the kingdom of hea

48 Which, when It was full, they
drew to shore, and sat down, and
gathered the good into vessels, but
cast the bad away.
49 So shall it be at the end of the
world: the angels shall come forth,
and sever the wicked from among the
just, 50 And shall cast them into the

ye understood all these things? They

unto the kingdom of heaven is like

which bringeth forth out of his trea
sure things new and old.

when Jesus had finished these para
bles, he departed thence.

his own country, he taught them in

were astonished, and said, Whence

is not without honour, save in his
own country, and in his own house.
58 And he did not many mighty
works there because of their unbelief.
CHAP. XIV,
AT that time Herod the tetrarch
heard of the fame of Jesus,
2 And said unto his servants. This
is John the Baptist ; he is risen from
the dead ; and therefore mlghtyworks
do shew forth themselves in him.
3 If For Herod had laid hold on
John, and bound him, and put him
in prison for Herodlas' sake, his bro
ther [Philip's] wife.
4 For John said unto him. It is
not lawful for thee to have her.
5 And when he would have put
him to death, he feared the multitude,
because they counted him as a pro
phet. 6 But when Herod's birthday was
kept, the daughter of Herodias danced
before them, and pleased Herod.
7 Whereupon he promised with
an oath to give her whatsoever she
would ask.
8 And she, being before instructed
of her mother, said, Give me here
John Baptist's head in a charger.
9 And the king was sorry : never
theless for the oath's sake, and thera
which sat with him at meat, he com
manded it to be given her.
10 And he sent, and beheaded
John in the prison.

S. MATTHEW, XIV.

1 1 And his head was brought In a
charger, and given to the damsel:
and she brought it to her mother.
12 And his disciples came, and
took up the body, and buried it, and
went and told Jesus.
,• 13 If When Jesus heard of it, he
departed thence by ship Into a desert
place apart : and when the people had
heard thereof, they followed him on
foot out of the cities.
14 And [Jesus] went forth, and
saw a great multitude, and was moved
with compassion toward them, and
he healed their sick.
15 If And when it was evening,
his disciples came to him, saying.
This is a desert place, and the time
is now past; send \then'\ the multi
tude away, that they may go into the
villages, and buy themselves victuals.
16 But Jesus said unto them,
They need not depart; give ye them
to eat.
17 And they say unto him, We
have here but five loaves, and two
fishes. 18 He said. Bring them hither to
me. 1 9 And he commanded the multi
tude to sit down on the grass, and
took the five loaves, and the two
fishes, and looking up to heaven, he
blessed, and brake, and gave the
loaves to his disciples, and the dis-'
ciples to the multitude.
20 And they did all eat, and were
filled : and they took up of the frag
ments that remained twelve baskets
full, 21 And they that had eaten were
about five thousand men, beside
women and children.
22 If And straightway [Jesus] con
strained [his : the] disciples to get into

a ship, and to go before him unto the
other side, while he sent the multi
tudes away.
23 And when he had sent the
multitudes away, he went up into a
mountain apart to pray: and when
the evening, was come, he was there
alone. 24 But the ship was now in the
midst of the sea, tossed with waves:
for the wind was contrary.
25 And In the fourth watch of the
night [Jesus] went unto them, walk
ing on the sea.
26 And when the disciples saw
him walking on the sea, they were
troubled, saying, It is a spirit; and
th^y cried out for fear.
27 But straightway Jesus spake
unto them, saying, Be ofgood cheer;
it is I ; be not afraid.
28 And Peter answered him and
said. Lord, if it be thou, bid me come
unto thee on the water,
29 And he said. Come. And
when Peter was come down out of
the ship, he walked on the water, to
go to Jesus,
30 But when he saw the wind
boisterous, he was afraid ; and begin
ning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord,
save me.
31 And immediately Jesus stretch
ed forth his hand, and caught him,
and said unto him, 0 thou of little
faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?
32 And when they were come Into
the ship, the wind ceased.
33 Then they that were in the
ship came and worshipped him, saying,
Of a truth thou art the Son of God.
34 If And when they were gone
over, they came into the land of
Gennesaret. 35 And when the men of that

place had knowledge of him, they
sent out into all that country round
about, and brought unto him all that
were diseased;
36 And besought him that they
might only touch the hem of his gar

made perfectly whole.
CHAP. XV.
THEN came to Jesus scribes and
Pharisees, which were of Jeru
salem, saying,
2 Why do thy disciples transgress
the tradition of the elders? for they
wash not their hands when they eat
bread. 3 But he answered and said unto
them. Why do ye also transgress
the commandment of God by your
tradition ?
4 For God commanded, saying.
Honour thy father and mother: and.
He that curseth father or mother, let
him die the death.
5 But ye say. Whosoever shall say
to his father or his mother. It is a
gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be
profited by me ;
6 And honour not his father or his
mother, he shall be free. Thus have
ye made [the commandment: the law]
of God of none effect by your tradition.
7 Ye hypocrites, well did Esaias
prophesy of you, saying,
8 This people [draweth nigh unto
me with their mouth and] honoureth
me with their lips; but their heart is
far from me.
9 But in vain they do worship me,
teaching for doctrines the command
ments of men.

10 If And he called the multitude,
and said unto them, Hear, and un
derstand :
1 1 Not that which goeth into the
mouth defileth a man ; but that which
cometh out of the mouth, this defileth
a man. 1 2 Then came [his : the] disclples,and
said unto him, Knowest thou that the
Pharisees were offended, after they
heard this saying?
13 But he answered and said,
Every plant, which my heavenly
Father hath not planted, shall be
rooted up.
14 Let them alone: they be blind
leaders of the blind. And if the blind
lead the blind, both shall fall Into the
ditch. 15 Then answered Peter and said
unto him, Declare unto us [this: the]
parable. 16 And [Jesus] said. Are ye also
yet without understanding ?
17 Do not ye [yet] understand, that
whatsoever entereth in at the mouth
goeth into the belly, and is cast out
into the draught ?
18 But those things which proceed
out of the mouth come forth from
the heart ; and they defile the man,
19 For out ofthe heart proceed evil
thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornica
tions, thefts, false witness, blasphemies :
20 These are the things which
defile a man : but to eat with unwashen
hands defileth not a man,

mercy on me, 0 Lord, thou son of
David; my daughter is grievously
vexed with a devil.
23 But he answered her not a
word. And his disciples came and
besought him, saying. Send her away;
for she crieth after us.
24 But he answered and said, I
am not sent but unto the lost sheep
of the house of Israel.
25 Then came she and worshipped
him, saying. Lord, help me.
26 But he answered and said. It
is not [meet: allowed] to take the chil
dren's bread, and to cast It to dogs.
27 And she said. Truth, Lord:
yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which
fall from their masters' table.
28 Then Jesus answered and said
unto her, 0 woman, great is thy faith :
be It unto thee even as thou wilt.
And her daughter was made whole
from that very hour,
29 And Jesus departed from thence,
and came nigh unto the sea of Gali
lee; and went up into a mountain,
and sat down there,
30 And great multitudes came
unto him, having with them those
that were lame, blind, dumb, maimed,
and many others, and cast them
down at [Jesus': his] feet; and he
healed them :
31 Insomuch that the multitude
wondered, when they saw the dumb
to speak, the maimed to be whole,
the lame to walk, and the blind to
see: and they glorified the God of
Israel. 32 If Then Jesus called his dis
ciples unto him, and said, T have
compassion on the multitude, because
they continue with me now three
days, and have nothing to eat: and

33 And [his: the] disciples say unto
him, Whence should we have so much
bread in the wilderness, as to fill so
great a multitude?
34 And Jesus saith unto them,
How many loaves have ye? And
they said. Seven, and a few little
fishes. 35 And he commanded the mul
titude to sit down on the ground.
36 And he took the seven loaves
and the fishes, and gave thanks, and
brake them, and gave to [his] dis
ciples, and the disciples to the mul
titude. 37 And they did all eat, and were
filled: and they took up of the
broken meat that was left seven
baskets full.
38 And they that did eat were
four thousand men, beside women and
children, 39 And he sent away the multi
tude, and took ship, and came into

THE Pharisees also with the
Sadducees came, and tempting
desired him that he would shew them
a sign from heaven.
2 He answered and said unto them.
When it is evening, ye say, It will he
fair weather : for the sky is red,
3 And in the morning. It will he
foul weather to day : for the sky Is
red and lowring, [0 ye hypocrites],
ye can discern the face of the sky;
but can ye not discern the signs of
the times?
4 A wicked and adulterous gene
ration seeketh after a sign ; and there
shall no sign be given unto it, but

S. MATTHEW, XVI.

the sign of [the prophet] Jonas. And
he left them, and departed.
5 And when [his : ihe\ disciples were
come to the other side, they had for
gotten to take bread.
6 If Then Jesus said unto them,
Take heed and beware of the leaven
of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.
7 And they reasoned among them
selves, saying, It is because we have
taken no bread.
8 Which when Jesus perceived, he
said [unto them], 0 ye of little faith,
why reason ye among yourselves,
because ye have brought no bread?
9 Do ye not yet understand, nei
ther remember the five loaves of the
five thousand, and how many baskets
ye took up?
1 0 Neither the seven loaves of the
four thousand, and how many baskets
ye took up?
11 How is it that ye do not un
derstand that I spake it not to you
concerning bread, [that ye should : hut]
beware of the leaven of the Pharisees
and of the Sadducees ?
12 Then understood they how that
he bade them not beware of the lea
ven [of bread], but of the doctrine of
the Pharisees and of the Sadducees,
13 If When Jesus came into the
coasts of Gaesarea Philippi, he asked
his disciples, saying. Whom do men
say that [I the Son of man am: the
Bon of man is ] ?
14 And they said, Some say that
thou art John the Baptist: some,
Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one
of the prophets.

say ye that I am?

16 And Simon Peter answered and
said. Thou art the Christ, the Son of
the living God.
17 And Jesus answered and said
unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon
Bar-jona: for flesh and blood hath
not revealed it unto thee, but my
Father which is in heaven.
18 And I say also unto thee.
That thou art Peter, and upon this
rock I will build my church; and
the gates of hell shall not prevail
against it.
19 And I will give unto thee the
keys of the kingdom of heaven: and
whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth
shall be bound in heaven : and what
soever thou shalt loose on earth shall
be loosed in heaven.
20 Then charged he [his : the] dis
ciples that they should tell no man
that he was [Jesus] the Christ.
21 If From that time forth began
Jesus to shew unto his disciples, how
that he must go unto Jerusalem, and
suffer many things of the elders and
chief priests and scribes, and be killed,
and be raised again the third day.
22 Then Peter took him, and be
gan to rebuke him, saying. Be it far
from thee. Lord: this shall not be
unto thee.
23 But he turned, and said unto
Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan:
thou art an offence unto me : for thou
savourest not the things that be of
God, but those that be of men.
24 If Then said Jesus unto his
disciples. If any man will come after
me, let him deny himself, and ' take
up his cross, and follow me.
25 For whosoever will save his

S. MATTHEW, XVII,

life shall lose it : and whosoever will
lose his life for my sake shall find It.
26 For what [is a man: will a man
be I profited, if he shall gain the
whole world, and lose his own soul?
or what shall a man give in exchange
for his soul?
27 For the Son of man shall come
in the glory of his Father with his
angels; and then he shall reward
every man according to his works,
28 Verily I say unto you, There
be some standing here, which shall
not taste of death, till they see the
Son of man coming in his kingdom.

AND after six days Jesus taketh
Peter, James, and John his
brother, and bringeth them up into
an high mountain apart,
2 And was transfigured before
them : and his face did shine as the
sun, and his raiment was white as
the light.
3 And, behold, there appeared
unto them Moses and Elias talking
with him.
4 Then answered Peter, and said
unto Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to
be here : if thou wilt, [let us make :
/ will make] here three tabernacles ;
one for thee, and one for Moses, and
one for Ellas.
5 While he yet spake, behold, a
bright cloud overshadowed them:
and behold a voice out of the cloud,
which said, This is my beloved Son,
in whom I am well pleased; hear ye
him. 6 And when the disciples heard
it, they fell on their face, and were
sore afraid.

7 And Jesus came and touched
them, and said, Arise, and be not
afraid, 8 And when they had lifted up
their eyes, they saw no man, save
Jesus only,
9 And as they came down from
the mountain, Jesus charged them,
saying. Tell the vision to no man,
until the Son of man be risen again
from the dead.
10 And [his: the] disciples asked
him, saying. Why then say the scribes
that Ellas must first come?
1 1 And [Jesus] answered and said
[unto them], Ellas truly shall [first]
come, and restore all things.
12 But I say unto you, That
Ellas Is come already, and they knew
him not, but have done unto him
whatsoever they listed. Likewise
shall also the Son of man suffer of
them. 13 Then the disciples understood
that he spake unto them of John the
Baptist. 14 ^ And when they were come
to the multitude, there came to him
a certain man, kneeling down to him,
and saying,
15 Lord, have mercy on my son:
for he is lunatick, and sore vexed:
for ofttimes he falleth into the fire,
and oft into the water.
1 6 And I brought him to thy dis
ciples, and they could not cure
him. 17 Then Jesus answered and said,
0 faithless and perverse generation,
how long shall I be with you? how
long shall I suffer you? bring him
hither to me.
18 And Jesus rebuked the devil;

and he departed out of him : and the
child was cured from that very hour.
19 Then came the disciples to
Jesus apart, and said, Why could not
we cast him out?
20 And [Jesus] said unto them,
Because of your unbelief : for verily
I say unto you, If ye have faith as a
grain of mustard seed, ye shall say
unto this mountain. Remove hence to
yonder place ; and it shall remove ; and
nothing shall be impossible unto you.
21 Howbeit this kind goeth not
out but by prayer and fasting.
22 If And while they abode in
Galilee, Jesus said unto them. The
Son of man shall be betrayed into
the hands of men :
23 And they shall kill him, and
the third day he shall be raised agaia.
And they were exceeding sorry.
24 If And when they were come
to Capernaum, they that received tri
bute money came to Peter, and said.
Doth not your master pay tribute ? >
25 He saith. Yes. And when he
was come into the house, Jesus pre
vented him, saying. What thinkest
thou, Simon ? of whom do the kings
of the earth take custom or tribute?
of their own children, or of strangers ?
26 [Peter] saith unto him, Of
strangers. Jesus saith unto him,
Then are the children free,
27 Notwithstanding, lest we should
offend them, go thou to the sea, and
cast an hook, and take up the fish
that first cometh up ; and when thou
hast opened his mouth, thou shalt
find a piece of money: that take,
and give unto thera for me and thee.
CHAP. XVIIL
T the same time came the dis
ciples unto Jesus, saying, Who

is the greatest in the kingdom of
heaven ?
2 And Jesus called a little child
unto him, and set him in the midst
of them,3 And said, Verily I say unto you.
Except ye be converted, and becorae
as little children, ye shall not enter
into the kingdom of heaven.
4 Whosoever therefore shall hum
ble himself as this little child, the
same is greatest in the kingdom of
heaven. 5 And whoso shall receive one
such little child in my name receiv
eth me.
6 But whoso shall offend one of
these little ones which believe in me,
it were better for him that a mill
stone were hanged about his neck,
and that he were drowned in the
depth of the sea.
7 If Woe unto the world because
of offences ! for it must needs be that
offences come; but woe to [that: the]
man by whom the offence cometh !
8 Wherefore if thy hand or thy
foot offend thee, cut them off', and
cast them from thee : it is better for
thee to enter into life halt or maimed,
rather than having two hands or two
feet to be cast into everlasting fire.
9 And if thine eye offend thee,
pluck it out, and cast it from thee :
it is better for thee to enter into life
with one eye, rather than having two
eyes to be cast into hell fire.
10 Take heed that ye despise not
one of these little ones ; for I say
unto you, That in heaven their angels
do always behold the face of my
Father which is In heaven.
1 1 [For the Son of man is come
to save that which was lost.]

an hundred sheep, and one of them
be gone astray, doth he not leave the
ninety and nine, and goeth into the
mountains, and seeketh that which is
gone astray?
13 And if so be that he find it,
verily I say unto you, he rejoiceth
more of that sheep, than of the ninety
and nine which went not astray.
14 Even so it is not the will of
your Father which is in heaven, that
one of these little ones should perish.
15 If Moreover if thy brother shall
trespass against thee, go and tell him
his fault between thee and him alone :
if he shall hear thee, thou hast gained
thy brother.
16 But if he will not hear thee,
then take with thee one or two more,
that in the mouth of two or three
witnesses every word may be estab
lished. 17 And if he shall neglect to hear
them, tell it unto the church : but if
he neglect to hear the church, let him
be unto thee as an heathen man and
a publican. 18 Verily I say unto you, What
soever ye shall bind on earth shall be
bound in heaven : and whatsoever ye
shall loose on earth shall be loosed in
heaven. 19 Again I say unto you. That If
two of you shall agree on earth as
touching anything that they shall ask,
It shall be done for them of my Father
which Is in heaven.
20 For where two or three are
gathered together in my name, there
am I In the midst of them.
21 If Then came Peter to him, and
said, Lord, how oft shall my brother
sin against me, and I forgive him ?
till seven times?

22 Jesus saith unto him, I say not
unto thee. Until seven times : but.
Until seventy times seven.
23 If Therefore is the kingdom of
heaven likened unto a certain king,
which would take account of his
servants. 24 And when he had begun to
reckon, one was brought unto him,
which owed him ten thousand talents,
25 But forasmuch as he had not to
pay, [his: the] lord commanded him
to be sold, and his wife, and children,
and all that he had, and payment to
be made.
26 The servant therefore fell down,
and worshipped him, saying, [Lord],
have patience with me, and I will
pay thee all.
27 Then the lord of that servant
was moved with compassion, and
loosed him, and forgave him the debt.
28 But the same servant went out,
and found one of his fellowservants,
which owed him an hundred pence :
and he laid hands on him, and took
hira by the throat, saying, Pay [me]
that thou owest.
29 And his fellowservant fell down
[at his feet], and besought him, say
ing, Have patience with me, and I will
pay thee [all].
30 And he would not : but went
and cast him into prison, till he should
pay the debt.
31 So when his fellowservants saw
what was done, they were very sorry,
and came and told unto their lord all
that was done.
32 Then his lord, after that he had
called him, said unto him, 0 thou
wicked servant, I forgave thee all
that debt, because thou desiredst me:

even as I had pity on thee ?
34 And his lord was wroth, and de
livered him to the tormentors, till he
should pay all that was due unto him.

Father do also unto you, if ye from
your hearts forgive not every one
his brother [their trespasses].

AND it came to pass, that when
Jesus had finished these say
ings, he departed from Galilee, and
came into the coasts of Judsea bteyond
Jordan ;
2 And great multitudes followed
him ; and he healed them there,
3 If The Pharisees also came unto
him, tempting him, and saying [unto
him], Is it lawful for a man to put
away his wife for every cause ?
4 And he answered and said [unto
them], Have ye not read, that he
which made them at the beginning
made them male and female,
5 And said, For this cause shall a
man leave father and mother, and
shall cleave to his wife : and they
twain shall be one flesh?

twain, but one flesh. What there
fore God hath joined together, let not
man put asunder,

writing of divorcement, and to put
[her] away?

suffered you to put away your wives :
but from the beginning it was not so.
9 And I say unto you. Whosoever
shall put away his wife, except it be
for fornication, and shall marry an
other, committeth adultery : and
whoso marrieth her which is put
away doth commit adultery.
10 If [His: the] disciples say unto
?him, If the case of the man be so with
his wife, it is not good to marry.
11 But he said unto them, All
men cannot receive this saying, save
they to whom it is given.
12 For there are some eunuchs,
which were so born from their
mother's womb : and there are some
eunuchs, which were made eunuchs
of men : and there be eunuchs, which
have made themselves eunuchs for
the kingdom of heaven's sake. He
that Is able to receive it, let him
receive it.
13 If Then were there brought
unto him little children, that he
should put his hands on them, and
pray: and the disciples rebuked them.
14 But Jesus said. Suffer little
children, and forbid them not, to
come unto me : for of such is the
kingdom of heaven.
15 And he laid his hands on them,
and departed thence.
16 If And, behold, one came and
said unto him, [Goo'd] Master, what
good thing shall I do, that I may
have eternal life ?
17 And he said unto him, [Why
callest thou me good : fVhy dost
thou ask me about that which is yood]?

S. MATTHEW, XX.

[there is none good but one, that is,

but if
Jieep the

God : the good Being is one
thou wilt enter into life,
commandments. 18 He saith unto him. Which?
Jesus said. Thou shalt do no murder,
Thou shalt not commit adultery.
Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not
bear false witness,
19 Honour thy father and thy
mother : and, Thou shalt love thy
neighbour as thyself.
20 The young man saith unto him,
All these things have I kept [from
my youth up] : what lack I yet ?
21 Jesus said unto him. If thou
wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou
hast, and give to the poor, and thou
shalt have treasure in heaven : and
come and follow me.
22 But when the young man heard
that saying, he went away sorrowful :
for he had great possessions.
23 1^ Then said Jesus unto his
disciples. Verily I say unto you. That
a rich man shall hardly enter into the
kingdom of heaven.
24 And again I say unto you, It
is easier for a camel [to go: to make
entrance] through the eye of a needle,
than for a rich man [to enter] into the
kingdom [of God : of heaven].
25 When [his: the] disciples heard
It, they were exceedingly amazed, say
ing. Who then can be saved ?
26 But Jesus beheld them, and
said unto thera. With men this Is
impossible ; but with God all things
are possible.

27 If Then answered Peter and
said unto him, Behold, we have for
saken all, and followed thee ; what
shall we have therefore ?
28 And Jesus said unto them,
Verily I say unto you, That ye which
have followed me, in the regeneration
when the Son of man shall sit in the
throne of his glory, ye also shall sit
upon twelve thrones, judging the
twelve tribes of Israel.
29 And every one that hath for
saken houses, or brethren, or sisters,
or father, or mother, [or wife], or
children, or lands, for my name's
sake, shall receive [an hundredfold:
manifold], and shall inherit everlasting
life. 30 But many that are first shall be
last ; and the last shall be first.

FOR the kingdom of heaven Is
like unto a man that is an
householder, which went out early
in the morning to hire labourers into
his vineyard.
2 And when he had agreed with
the labourers for a penny a day, he
sent them into his vineyard,
3 And he went out about the third
hour, and saw others standing Idle in
the market-place,
4 And said unto them ; Go ye
also into the vineyard, and whatso
ever is right I will give you. And
they went their way.

6 And about the eleventh hour he
went out, and found others standing
[idle], and saith unto them, Why
stand ye here all the day idle ?
7 They say unto him. Because no
man hath hired us. He saith unto
them, Go ye also into the vineyard ;
[and whatsoever is right, that shall
ye receive].
8 So when even was come, the
lord of the vineyard saith unto his
steward. Call the labourers, and give
them their hire, beginning from the
last unto the first.
9 And when they came that were
hired about the eleventh hour, they
received every man a penny.
10 But when the first came, they
supposed that they should have re
ceived more ; and they likewise re
ceived every man a penny,
11 And when they had received
it, they murmured against the good-
man of the house,
12 Saying, These last have wrought
but one hour, and thou hast made
them equal unto us, which have
borne the burden and heat of the day.
13 But he answered one of thera,
and said, Friend, I do thee no wrong :
didst not thou agree with me for a
penny ?
14 Take that thine is, and go thy
way : I will give unto this last, even
as ,unto thee,
15 Is it not lawful for me to do
what I will with mine own ? Is
thine eye evil, because I am good?
16 So the last shall be first, and
the first last : for many be called, but
few chosen,
17 If And Jesus going up to Jeru

salem took the twelve disciples apart
in the way, and said unto them,
18 Behold, we go up to Jerusa
lem ; and the Son of man shall be
betrayed unto the chief priests and
unto the scribes, and they shall con
demn him to death,
19 And shall deliver him to the
Gentiles to mock, and to scourge, and
to crucify him : and the third day he
shall rise again,
20 If Then came to him the mother
of Zebedee's children with her sons,
worshipping him, and desiring a cer
tain thing of him.
21 And he said unto her, What
wilt thou ? She saith unto him.
Grant that these my two sons may
sit, the one on thy right hand, and
the other on the left. In thy kingdom.
22 But Jesus answered and said,
Ye know not what ye ask. Are ye
able to drink of the cup that I shall
drink of [and to be baptized with
the baptism that I am baptized with] ?
They say unto hira, We are able.
23 [And] he saith unto them. Ye
shall drink indeed of my cup [and be
baptized with the baptism that I am
baptized with] : but to sit on my right
hand, and on my left, is not mine
to give, but it shall be given to them
for whom it is prepared of ray Father.
24 And when the ten heard it,
they were moved with indignation
against the two brethren.
25 But Jesus called them unto
hira, and said, Ye know that the prin
ces of the Gentiles exercise dominion
over them, and they that are great
exercise authority upon them.

among you, let him be your minister ;
27 And whosoever will be chief
among you, let him be your servant :
28 Even as the Son of man came
not to be ministered unto, but to
minister, and to give his life a ransom
for many.
29 Aild as they departed from Je
richo, a great multitude followed him.
30 If And, behold, two blind men
sitting by the way side, when they
heard that Jesus passed by, cried out,
saying, Have mercy on us, 0 Lord,
thou son of David.
31 And the multitude rebuked
them, because they should hold their
peace : but they cried the more, say
ing, Have mercy on us, 0 Lord, tkou
son of David.
32 And Jesus stood still, and called
them, and said, What will ye that I
shall do unto you ?
33 They say unto him. Lord, that
our eyes may be opened.
34 So Jesus had compassion on
them, and touched their eyes : and
immediately [their eyes: ^/ie?/[ received
sight, and they followed him.
CHAP. XXI.
A ND when they drew nigh unto
-Cl- Jerusalem, and were come to
Bethphage, unto the mount of Olives,
then sent Jesus two disciples,
2 Saying unto them. Go into the
village over against you, and straight
way ye shall find an ass tied, and a
colt with her : loose them, and bring
them unto me.

3 And if any man say ought unto
you, ye shall say, The Lord hath
need of them ; and straightway he
will send them.
4 [All] this was done, that it might
be fulfilled which was spoken by the
prophet, saying,
5 Tell ye the daughter of Sion,
Behold, thy King cometh unto thee,
meek, [and] sitting upon an ass, and
[ok] a colt the foal of an ass.
6 And the disciples went, and did
as Jesus [commanded : appointed ] them,
7 And brought the ass, and the
colt, and put on them their clothes,
and they set him thereon.
8 And a very great multitude
spread their garments in the way;
others cut dovrai branches from the
trees, and strawed thera in the way.
9 And the multitudes that went
before \Jiini\, and that followed, cried,
saying, Hosanna to the son of David :
Blessed is he that cometh In the name
of the Lord ; Hosanna In the highest.
10 And when he was come Into
Jerusalem, all the city was moved,
saying. Who Is this ?
1 1 And the multitude said. This is
Jesus the prophetof Nazareth of Galilee,
12 If And Jesus went into the
temple [of God], and cast out all them
that sold and bought in the temple,
and overthrew the tables of the
moneychangers, and the seats of them
that sold doves,
13 And said unto them. It is
written, My house shall be called the
house of prayer ; but ye have made:
are making] it a den of thieves.

14 And the blind and the lame
came to him in the temple; and he
healed them.
15 And when the chief priests and
scribes saw the wonderful things that
he did, and the children crying in
the temple, and saying, Hosanna to
the son of David ; they were sore
displeased, 16 And said unto him, Hearest
thou what these say ? And Jesus
saith unto them. Yea; have ye never
read. Out of the mouth of babes and
sucklings thou hast perfected praise ?
17 If And he left them, and went
out of the city into Bethany ; and he
lodged there.
18 Now in the morning as he re
turned into the city, he hungered.
19 And when he saw a fig tree in
the way, he came to it, and found
nothing thereon, but leaves only, and
said unto it, Let no fruit grow on
thee henceforward for ever. And
presently the fig tree withered away.
20 And when the disciples saw it,
they marvelled, saying, How soon is
the fig tree withered away !
21 Jesus answered and said unto
them, Verily I say unto you, If ye
have faith, and doubt not, ye shall
not only do this which Is done to the
fig tree, but also if ye shall say unto
this mountain. Be thou removed, and
be thou cast into the sea ; it shall be
done. 22 And all things, whatsoever ye
shall ask in prayer, believing, ye
shall receive.
23 If And when he was come into
the temple, the chief priests and the
elders of the people came unto him
as he was teaching, and said, By what
authority doest thou these things ?
and who gave thee this authority ?
24 And Jesus answered and said

unto them, I also will ask you one'
thing, which if ye tell me, I in like
wise will tell you by what authority
I do these things.
25 _ The baptism of John, whence
was It ? from heaven, or of men ?
And they reasoned with themselves,
saying, If we shall say. From hea
ven ; he will say unto us, Why did
ye not then believe him?
26 But if we shall say. Of men ;
we fear the people ; for all hbld John
as a prophet.
27 And they answered Jesus, and
said, We cannot tell. And he said
unto them. Neither tell I you by
what authority I do these things.
28 If But what think ye ? A cer
tain man had two sons ; and he came
to the first, and said, Son, go work
to day in |my: the] vineyard.
29 He answered and said, I will
not : but afterward he repented, and
went. 30 And he came to the second,
and said likewise. And he answered
and said, I go, sir : and went not.
31 Whether of them twain did
the will of his father ? They say
[unto him], The first. Jesus saith
unto them. Verily I say unto you.
That the publicans and the harlots
go into the kingdom of God before
you. 32 For John came unto you in
the way of righteousness, and ye
believed him not : but the publicans
and the harlots believed him : and
ye, when ye had seen it, repented
not afterward, that ye might believe
him. 33 If Hear another parable : There
was a [certain] householder, which

In it, and built a tower, and let it out

to husbandmen, and went into a far
country :
34 And when the time of the
fruit drew near, he sent his servants
to the husbandmen, that they might
receive the fruits of it.
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 did
unto them likewise.
37 But last of all he sent unto
them his son, saying. They will rever
ence my son.
38 But when the husbandmen saw
the son, they said among themselves.
This Is the heir; come, let us kill
him, and let us seize on his inherit
ance. 39 And they caught him, and cast
him out ofthe vineyard, and slew him.
40 When the lord therefore of the
vineyard coraeth, what will he do
unto those husbandmen?
41 They say unto him. He will
miserably destroy those wicked men,
and will let out his vineyard unto
other husbandmen, which shall ren
der him the fruits In their seasons.
42 Jesus saith unto them. Did ye
never read In the scriptures, The
stone which the builders rejected, the
same Is become the head of the cor
ner : this is the Lord's doing, and it
is marvellous In our eyes?
43 Therefore say I unto you, The
kingdom of God shall be taken from
you, and given to a nation bringing
forth the fruits thereof
¦44 And whosoever shall fall on
this stone shall be broken : but on
whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind
hira to powder.
45 And when the chief priests and
Pharisees had heard his parables, they
perceived that he spake of them.

46 But when they sought to kj
hands on him, they feared the militi
tude, because they took him for i
prophet.
CHAP. XXIL
AND Jesus answered and spak(
unto them again by parables
and said,
2 The kingdom of heaven is like
unto a certain king, which made i
marriage for his son,
3 And sent forth his servants ix:
call them that were bidden to the
wedding : and they would not come.
4 Again, he sent forth other ser
vants, saying. Tell them which are
bidden. Behold, I have prepared my
dinner : my oxen and ray fatllngs are
killed, and all things are ready: come
unto the raarriage.
5 But they made light of It, and
went their ways, one to his farm,
another to his merchandise :
6 And the remnant took his ser
vants, and entreated them spItefuUy,
and slew them.
7 But [when the king heard there
of, he : the king] was wroth : and he
sent forth his armies, and destroyed
those murderers, and burned up their
city. 8 Then saith he to his servants,
The wedding Is ready, but they
which were bidden were not worthy.
9 Go ye therefore into the high
ways, and as many as ye shall find,
bid to the marriage.
10 So those servants went out into
the highways, and gathered together
all as many as they found, both bad
and good : and the wedding was fur
nished with guests.
11 If And when the king came in
to see the guests, he saw there a man
which had not on a wedding gar
ment :
12 And he saith unto him, Friend,

S. MATTHEW, XXIL

how camest thou in hither not having
a wedding garment? And he was
speechless. 13 Then said the king to the ser
vants. Bind him hand and foot, [and
take him away,] and cast hira into
outer darkness ; there shall be weep
ing and gnashing of teeth,
14 For many are called, but few
are chosen.
15 If Then went the Pharisees, and
took counsel how they might entangle
him in his talk,
16 And they sent out unto him
their disciples with the Herodians, say
ing, Master, we know that thouarttrue,
and teachest the way of God in truth,
neither carest thou for any man : for
thou regardest not the person of men.
17 Tell us therefore, What think
est thou ? Is it lawful to give tribute
unto Csesar, or not ?
18 But Jesus perceived their
wickedness, and said. Why tempt ye
me, ye hypocrites ?
19 Shew me the tribute money.
And they brought unto him a penny.
20 Andhesaithunto them, Whose
is this image and superscription?
21 They say unto him, Csesar's.
Then saith he unto them, Kender
therefore unto Cssar the things which
axe Caesar's ; and unto God the things
that are God's.
22 When they had heard these
words, they marvelled, and left him,
and went their way.
23 If The same day came to him
the Sadducees, which say that there
is no resurrection, and asked him,
24 Saying, Master, Moses said, If
a man die, having no children, his
brother shall marry his wife, and raise
up seed#unto his brother.
25 Now there were with us seven

brethren : and the first, when he had
married a wife, deceased, and, having
no issue, left his wife unto his brother :
26 Likewise the second also, and
the third, unto the seventh,
27 And last of all the woman died
also. 28 Therefore in the resurrection
whose wife shall she be of the seven ?
for they all had her.
29 Jesus answered and said unto
them. Ye do err, not knowing the'
scriptures, nor the power of God.
30 For in the resurrection they
neither marry, nor are given in mar
riage, but are as the angels [of God]
in heaven.
31 But as touching the resurrec
tion of the dead, have ye not read
that which was spoken unto you by
God, saying,
32 I am the God of Abraham, and
the God of Isaac, and the God of
Jacob ? God is not the God of the
dead, but of the living.
33 And when the multitude heard
this, they were astonished at his doc
trine. 34 If But when the Pharisees had
heard that he had put the Sadducees
to silence, they were gathered together.
35 Then one of them, which was
a lawyer, asked him a question,
tempting him, [and saying,]
36 Master, which Is the great com
mandment in the law ?
37 Jesus said unto him, Thou
shalt love the Lord thy God with all
thy heart, and with all thy soul, and
with all thy mind.
38 This is the first and great com-
raandraent. 39 And the second is like unto it.
Thou shalt love thy neighbour as
thyself.

40 On these two commandments
hang all the law and the prophets.
41 If While the Pharisees were
gathered together, Jesus asked them,
42 Saying, What think ye of
Christ ? whose son is he ? They say
unto him, The son of David.
43 He saith unto them. How then
doth David in spirit call him Lord,
sayirig, 44 The Lord said unto my Lord,
¦ Sit thou on my right hand, till I
I make thine enemies thy footstool :
shall have put thine enemies beneath

46 And no man was able to answer
him a word, neither durst any man
from that day forth ask him any more
questions.
CHAP. XXIIL
THEN spake Jesus to the multi
tude, and to his disciples,
2 Saying, The scribes and the
Pharisees sit in Moses' seat :
3 All therefore whatsoever they
bid you [observe], that observe and
do ; but do not ye after their works :
for they say, and do not.
4 [For : And] they bind heavy
burdens and grievous to be borne,
and lay them on men's shoulders ;
but they themselves will not move
them with one of their fingers.
5 But all their works they do for
to be seen of men : they make broad
their phylacteries, and enlarge the
borders [of their garments].

6 And love the uppermost rooms
at feasts, and the chief seats in the
synagogues, 7 And greetings in the markets, and
to be called of men, Kabbi, KabbI,
8 But be not ye called EabbI : for
one is your Master, [even Christ];
and all ye are brethren,
9 And call no man your father
upon the earth : for one Is your
Father, which is in heaven.
10 Neither be ye called masters :
for one Is your Master, even Christ.
11 But he that Is greatest among
you shall be your servant,
12 And whosoever shall exalt
himself shall be abased ; and he that
shall humble himself shall be exalted.
13 1 But woe unto you, scribes
and Pharisees, hypocrites ! for ye
shut up the kingdom of heaven
against men : for ye neither go in
yourselves, neither suffer ye them
that are entering to go in.
[14 Woe unto you, scribes and
Pharisees, hypocrites ! for ye devour
widows' houses, and for a pretence
make long prayer : therefore ye shall
receive the greater damnation.]
15 Woe unto you, scribes and
Pharisees, hypocrites ! for ye com
pass sea and land to make one prose
lyte, and when he is made, ye make
him twofold more the child of hell
than yourselves,
1 6 Woe unto you, ye blind guides,

26 Thou blind Pharisee, cleanse
first that which is within the cup [and

may be clean also.
27 Woe unto you, scribes and

appear beautiful outward, but are
within full of dead raen's bones, and
of all uncleanness.
28 Even so ye also outwardly

appear righteous unto men, but
within ye are full of hypocrisy and
iniquity. 29 "Woe unto you, scribes and

build the tombs of the prophets, and
garnish the sepulchres of the right
eous, 30 And say, If we had been in the
days of our fathers, we would not

AND Jesus went out, and departed
from the temple : and his dis
ciples came to him for to shew him
the buildings of the temple.
2 And [Jesus: he answering] said
unto them, See ye not all these things?
verily I say unto you, There shall not
be left here one stone upon another,
that shall not be thrown down.
3 If And as he sat upon the mount
of Olives, the disciples came unto
him privately, saying. Tell us, when
shall these .things be ? and what shall
be the sign of thy coming, and of
the end of the world ?
4 And Jesus answered and said
unto them. Take heed that no man
deceive you.
5 For many shall come in my
name, saying, I am Christ ; and shall
deceive many.
6 And ye shall hear of wars and
rumours of wars : see that ye be not
troubled: for [all these things: they]
must come to pass, but the end Is not
yet. 7 For nation shall rise against
nation, and kingdom against king
dom : and there shall be famines,
and pestilences, and earthquakes, In
divers places,
8 All these are the beginning of
sorrows, 9 Then shall they deliver you up
to be afflicted, and shall kill you :
and ye shall be hated of all nations
for my name's sake.
10 And then shall many be offen
ded, and shall betray one another,
and shall hate one another.

1 1 And many false prophets shall
rise, and shall deceive many.
12 And because iniquity shall
abound, the love of many shall wax
cold. 13 But he that shall endure unto
the end, the same shall be saved.
14 And this gospel of the kmg-
dora shall be preached In all the
world for a witness unto all nations ;
and then shall the end come,
15 When ye therefore shall see
the abomination of desolation, spoken
of by Daniel the prophet, stand In
the holy place, (whoso readeth, let
hira understand :)
16 Then let them which be in
Judaea flee Into the mountains :
17 Let him which Is on the house
top not come down to take [any thing:
the things] out of his house :
18 Neither let him which Is in
the field return back to take his
clothes. 19 And woe unto them that are
with child, and to them that give
suck in those days !
20 But pray ye that your flight he
not in the winter, neither- on the
sabbath day :
21 For then shall be great tribu
lation, such as was not since the be
ginning of the world to this time, no,
nor ever shall be.
22 And except those days should
be shortened, there should no fiesh be
saved : but for the elect's sake those
days shall be shortened.
23 Then if any man shall say unto
you, Lo, here Is Christ, or there;
believe it not.
24 For there shall arise false
Christs, and false prophets, and shall
shew great signs and wonders ; inso

shall deceive the very elect.

S. MATTHEW, XXIV,

25 Behold, I have told you before.
26 Wherefore if they shall say
unto you. Behold, he is in the desert ;
go not forth : behold, he is in the
secret chambers ; believe it not.
27 For as the lightning cometh
out of the east, and shineth even
unto the west ; so shall [also] the
coming of the Son of man be.
28 [For] wheresoever the carcase
is, there will the eagles be gathered
together. 29 If Immediately after the tribu
lation of those days shall the sun be
darkened, and the moon shall not
give her light, and the stars shall fall
from heaven, and the powers of the
heavens shall be shaken :
30 And then shall appear the sign
of the Son of man in heaven : and
then shall all the tribes of the earth
mourn, and they shall see the Son of
man coming In the clouds of heaven
with power and great glory.
31 And he shall send his angels
with a great sound of a trumpet, and
they shall gather together his elect
from the four winds, from one end of
heaven to the other.
32 Now learn a parable of the fig
tree ; When his branch is yet tender,
and putteth forth leaves, ye know
that summer Is nigh :
33 So likewise ye, when ye shall
see all these things, know that it is
near, even at the doors.
34 Verily I say unto you. This
generation shall not pass, till all these
things be fulfilled.
35 Heaven and earth shall pass
away, but my words shall not pass
away, 36 If But of that day and hour

knoweth no man, no, not the angels
of heaven, but [my: the] Father only,
37 But as the days of Noe were,
so shall also the coming of the Son
of man be.
38 I For as in the days that were
before the flood : As in the days of the
flood [ they were eating and drinking,
marrying and giving in marriage,
until the day that Noe entered Into
the ark,
39 And knew not until the flood
came, and took them all away ; so
shall [also] the coming of the Son of
man be.
40 Then shall two be in the field ;
the one shall be taken, and the other
left. 41 Two women shall be grinding
at the mill ; the one shall be taken,
and the other left.
42 If Watch therefore : for ye know
not what [ hour : day [ your Lord doth
come. 43 But know this, that If the
goodman of the house had known In
what watch the thief would come, he
would have watched, and would not
have suffered his house to be broken
up. 44 Therefore be ye also ready :
for in such an hour as ye think not
the Son of man cometh.
45 Who then is a faithful and wise
servant, whom his lord hath made
ruler over his household, to give them
meat in due season?
46 Blessed is that servant, whom
his lord when he cometh shall find so
doing. 47 Verily I say unto you, That
he shall make him ruler over all his
goods.

48 But and If that evil servant
shall say in his heart. My lord de-
layeth [his coming] ;
49 And shall begin to smite his
fellowservants, and to eat and drink
with the drunken ;
50 The lord of that servant shall
come in a day when he looketh not
for him, and in an hour that he is
not aware of,
51 And shall cut him asunder, and
appoint him his portion with the
hypocrites : there shall be weeping
and gnashing of teeth.
CHAP. XXV,
THEN shall the kingdom of hea
ven be likened unto ten virgins,
which took their lamps, and went
forth to meet the bridegroom.
2 And five of them were wise,
and five were foolish.
3 They that were foolish took their
lamps, and took no oil with them :
4 But the wise took oil In their
vessels with their lamps.
5 While the bridegroom tarried,
they all slumbered and slept.
6 And at midnight there was a
cry made, Behold, the bridegroom
[cometh] ; go ye out to meet hira.
7 Then all those virgins arose, and
trimmed their lamps.
8 And the foolish said unto the
wise. Give us of your oil ; for our
lamps are gone out.
9 But the wise answered, saying,
Not so ; lest there be not enough for
us and you : but go ye rather to them
that sell, and buy for yourselves.

10 And while they went to buy,
the bridegroom came ; and they that
were ready went in with him to the
marriage : and the door was shut.
11 Afterward came also the other
virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open tous.
12 But he answered and said,
Verily I say unto you, 1 know you
not. 13 Watch therefore, for ye know
neither the day nor the hour [wherein
the Son of man cometh].
14 If For the kingdom of heaven
Is as a man travelling into a far
country, who called his own servants,
and delivered unto them his goods.
15 And unto one he gave five
talents, to another two, and to an
other one ; to every man according
to his several ability; and straight
way took his journey.
16 Then he that had received the
five talents went and traded with the
same, and made them other five
[talents]. 17 And likewise he that had re
ceived two, [he also] gained other
two. 18 But he that had received one
went and digged In the earth, and
hid his lord's money.
19 After a long time the lord of
those servants cometh, and reckoneth
with them.
20 And so he that had received five
talents came and brought other five
talents, saying. Lord, thou deliveredst
unto me five talents : behold, I have
gained [beside them] five talents
more.

21 His lord said unto him, Well
done, thou good and faithful servant :
thou hast been faithful over a few
things, I will make thee ruler over
many things: enter thou into the joy
of thy lord,
22 He also that had received two
talents came and said, Lord, thou
deliveredst unto rae two talents : be
hold, I have gained two other talents
[beside them],
23 His lord said unto hira, Well
done, good and faithful servant ; thou
hast been faithful over a few things,
I will make thee ruler over many
things: enter thou into the joy of
thy lord.
24 Then he which had received
the one talent came and said, Lord,
I knew thee that thou art an hard
man, reaping where thou hast not
sown, and gathering where thou hast
not strawed :
25 And I was afraid, and went
and hid thy talent. In the earth: lo,
there thou hast that is thine.
26 His lord answered and said
unto him. Thou wicked and slothful
servant, thou knewest that I reap
where I sowed not, and gather where
I have not strawed :
27 Thou oughtest therefore to have
put my money to the exchangers,
and then at my coming I should have
received mine own with usury.
28 Take therefore the talent from
him, and give it unto him which
hath ten talents.
29 For unto every one that hath
shall be given, and he shall have
abundance : but from him that hath
not shall be taken away even that
which he hath.
30 And cast ye the unprofitable
servant into outer darkness : there

shall be weeping and gnashing of
teeth. 31 ^ When the Son of man shall
come in his glory, and all the [holy]
angels with him, then shall he sit
upon the throne of his glory :
32 And before him shall be ga
thered all nations : and he shall sepa
rate them one from another, as a
shepherd divideth his sheep from the
goats :
33 And he shall set the sheep on
his right hand, but the goats on the
left. 34 Then shall the King say unto
them on his right hand. Come, ye
blessed of my Father, inherit the
kingdom prepared for you from the
foundation of the world :
35 For I was an hungred, and ye
gave me meat : I was thirsty, and ye
gave me drink : I was a stranger,
and ye took me in :
36 Naked, and ye clothed me : I
was sick, and ye visited me : I was
in prison, and ye came unto me.
37 Then shall the righteous answer
him, saying. Lord, when saw we thee
an hungred, and fed thee ? or thirsty,
and gave thee drink ?
38 When saw we thee a stranger,
and took thee in ? or naked, and
clothed thee ?
39 Or when saw we thee sick, or
in prison, and came unto thee ?
40 And the King shall answer and
say ' unto them, Verily I say unto
you, Inasmuch as ye have done it
unto one of the least of these my
brethren, ye have done it unto me.
41 Then shall he say also unto
them on the left hand, Depart from
me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire,
prepared for the devil and his angels :

gave me no meat : I was thirsty, and
ye gave me no drink :
43 I was a stranger, and ye took
me not In : naked, and ye clothed
me not : sick, and in prison, and ye
visited me not.
44 Then shall they also answer
[him], saying, Lord, when saw we
thee an hungred, or athirst, or a
stranger, or naked, or sick, or in
prison, and did not minister unto
thee? 45 Then shall he answer them,
saying. Verily I say unto you. Inas
much as ye did it not to one of the
least of these, ye did it not to me.
46 And these shall go away itno

righteous Into life eternal.
CHAP. XXVI,
AND it came to pass, when Jesus
had finished all these sayings,
he said unto his disciples,
2 Ye know that after two days is
the feast of the passover, and the
Son of man Is betrayed to be cruci
fied. 3 Then assembled together the
chief priests, [and the scribes], and
the elders of the people, unto the
palace of the high priest, who was
called Caiaphas,
4 And consulted that they might
take Jesus by subtilty, and kill him.
5 But they said. Not on the feast
day, lest there be an uproar among
the people.
6 If Now when Jesus was in
Bethany, in the house of Simon the
leper, 7 There came unto him a woman
having an alabaster box of very pre

cious ointment, and poured it on his
head, as he sat at meat.
8 But when [his: the] disciples saw
it, they had Indignation, saying, To
what purpose is this waste ?
9 For this [ointment] might have
been sold for much, and given to the
poor. 10 When Jesus understood It, he
said unto them, Why trouble ye the
woman ? for she hath wrought a good
work upon rae.
11 For ye have the poor always
with you ; but rae ye have not al
ways, 12 For in that she hath poured
this ointraent on my body, she did it
for ray burial,
13 Verily I say unto you. Where
soever this gospel shall be preached
In the whole world, there shall also
this, that this woman hath done, be
told for a memorial of her.
14 If Then one of the twelve, called
Judas Iscariot, went unto the chief
priests, 15 And said unto them. What
will ye give me, and I will deHver
him unto you ? And they covenanted
with him for thirty pieces of silver,
16 And from that time he sought
opportunity to betray him.
17 If Now the first day of the feast
of unleavened bread the disciples
came to Jesus, saying [unto him],
Where wilt thou that we prepare for
thee to eat the passover ?
18 And he said, Go Into the city
to such a raan, and say unto hun,
The Master saith, My time Is at hand;
I will keep the passover at thy house
with my disciples.

had appointed them ; and they made
ready the passover.
20 Now when the even was come,
he sat down with the twelve [dis-
ciplesl. 21 And as they did eat, he said.
Verily I say unto you, that one of
you shall betray me.
22 And they were exceeding sor
rowful, and began every one of them
to say unto him. Lord, is it I ?
23 And he answered and said. He
that dippeth his hand with me in the
dish, the same shall betray me,
24 The Son of man goeth as it is
written of him : but woe unto that
man by whom the Son of man is
betrayed ! it had been good for that
man if he had not been born.
25 Then Judas, which betrayed
him, answered and said, Master, is it
I ? He said unto him. Thou hast said.
26 If And as they were eating,
Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and
brake it, and gave it to the disciples,
and said. Take, eat ; this is my body.
27 And he took the cup, and gave
thanks, and gave it to them, saying,
Drink ye all of it ;
28 For this is my blood of the
[new] testament, which is shed for
many for the remission of sins.
29 But I say unto you, I will not
drink henceforth of this fruit of the
vine, until that day when I drink it
new with you in my Father's kingdom.
30 And when they had sung an
hyran, they went out into the mount
of OUves.
31 Then saith Jesus unto them.
All ye shall be offended because of
me this night : for it is written, I will
smite the shepherd, and the sheep of
the flock shall be scattered abroad.

32 But after I am risen again, I
will go before you into Galilee.
_ 33 Peter answered and said unto
him, Though all men shall be offended
because of thee, yet will I never be
offended. 34 Jesus said unto him. Verily I
say unto thee. That this night, before
the cock crow, thou shalt deny me
thrice. 35 Peter said unto him, Though I
should die with thee, yet will I not
deny thee. Likewise also said all the
disciples, 36 If Then cometh Jesus with
them unto a place called Gethsemane,
and saith unto the disciples. Sit ye
here, while I go and pray yonder,
37 And he took with him Peter
and the two sons of Zebedee, and
began to be sorrowful and very
heavy, 38 Then saith [he : Jesus] unto
them. My soul Is exceeding sorrow
ful, even unto death : tarry ye here,
and watch with me.
39 And he went a little farther,
and fell on his face, and prayed, say
ing, 0 my Father, if it be possible,
let this cup pass from me : neverthe
less not as I will, but as thou wilt,
40 And he cometh unto the dis
ciples, and findeth them asleep, and
saith unto Peter, What, could ye not
watch with me one hour ?
41 Watch and pray, that ye enter
not into temptation : the spirit indeed
is willing, but the flesh Is weak.
42 He went away again the second
time, and prayed, saying, 0 my
Father, if this [cup] may not pass
away [from me , except I drink it,
thy will be done.
43 And he came and found them

asleep again : for their eyes were
heavy. 44 And he left thera, and went
away again, and prayed the third
time, saying the same words.
45 Then cometh he to [his : tlie\ dis
ciples, and saith unto them. Sleep on
now, and take your rest : behold, the
hour is at hand, and the Son of man
is betrayed into the hands of sinners.
46 Rise, let us be going : behold,
he is at hand that doth betray me.
47 If And while he yet spake, lo,
Judas, one of the twelve, came, and
with him a great multitude with
swords and staves, from the chief
priests and elders of the people.
48 Now he that betrayed him gave
them a sign, saying, Whomsoever I
shall kiss, that same Is he : hold him
fast. 49 And forthwith he came to
Jesus, and said, Hail, master ; and
kissed him.
50 And Jesus said unto him.
Friend, wherefore art thou come ?
Then came they, and laid hands on
Jesus, and took him.
51 And, behold, one of them
which were with Jesus stretched out
his hand, and drew his sword, and
struck a servant of the high priest's,
and smote off his ear.
52 Then said Jesus unto him. Put
up again thy sword into his place:
for all they that take the sword shall
perish with the sword.
53 Thinkest thou that I cannot
now pray to my Father, and he shall
presently give me more than twelve
legions of angels ?
54 But how then shall the scrip

tures be fulfilled, that thus it must
be? 55 In that same hour said Jesus to
the multitudes, Are ye come out as
against a thief with swords and staves
for to take me? I sat daily [with
you] teaching in the temple, and ye
laid no hold on me.
56 But all this was done, that the
scriptures of the prophets might he
fulfilled. Then all the disciples for
sook him, and fled.
57 If And they that had laid hold
on Jesus led him away to Caiaphas
the high priest, where the scribes and
the elders were assembled.
58 But Peter followed him afar
off unto the high priest's palace, and
went in, and sat with the servants,
to see the end.
59 Now the chief priests, [and
elders,] and all the council, sought
false witness against Jesus, to put
him to death ;
60 But found none [ : yea] , though
many false witnesses came [, yet found
they none]. At the last came two
[false witnesses],
61 And said. This fellow said, I
am able to destroy the temple of
God, and to build it in three days.
62 And the high priest arose,
and said unto him, Answerest thou
nothing ? what is it which these wit
ness against thee ?
63 But Jesus held his peace. And
the high priest answered and said
unto him, I adjure thee by the living
God, that thou tell us whether thou
be the Christ, the Son of God.

hast said : nevertheless I say unto

you, Hereafter shall ye see the Son
of man sitting on the right hand of
power, and coming in the clouds of
heaven. 65 Then the high priest rent his
clothes, saying, He hath spoken blas
phemy ; what further need have we
of witnesses ? behold, now ye have
heard |his: the] blasphemy.
66 What think ye? They an
swered and said, He is guilty of death.
67 Then did they spit in his face,
and buffeted him ; and others smote
him with the palms of their hands,
68 Saying, Prophesy unto us, thou
Christ, Who is he that smote thee ?
69 If Now Peter sat without in
the palace : and a damsel came unto
him, saying. Thou also wast with
Jesus of Gahlee.
70 But he denied before them all,
saying, I know not what thou sayest.
71 And when he was gone out
into the porch, another maid saw
him, and said unto them that were
there. This fellow was also with Jesus
of Nazareth.
72 And again he denied with an
oath, I do not know the man.
73 And after a while came unto
him they that stood by, and said to
Peter, Surely thou also art one of
them ; for thy speech bewrayeth thee,
74 Then began he to curse and to
swear, saying, I know not the raan.
And immediately the cock crew.
75 And Peter remembered the
word of Jesus, which said [unto
him], Before the cock crow, thou
shalt deny me thrice. And he went
out, and wept bitterly.

2 And when they had bound him,
they led him away, and dehvered
him to Pontius Pilate the governor.
3 If Then Judas, which had be
trayed him, when he saw that he was
condemned, repented himself, and
brought again the thirty pieces of
silver to the chief priests and elders,
4 Saying, I have sinned in that I
have betrayed the innocent blood.
And they said. What is that to us ?
see thou to that.
5 And he cast down the pieces of
silver in the temple, and departed,
and went and hanged himself
6 And the chief priests took the
silver pieces, and said. It Is not
lawful for to put them into the
treasury, because it is the price of
blood. 7 And they took counsel, and
bought with them the potter's field,
to bury strangers in.
8 Wherefore that field was called.
The field of blood, unto this day.
9 Then was fulfilled that which
was spoken by Jeremy the prophet,
saying. And they took the thirty
pieces of silver, the price of him that
was valued, whoAi they of the chil
dren of Israel did value ;
10 And gave thera for the potter's
field, as the Lord appointed rae.
11 And Jesus stood before the
governor : and the governor asked
him, saying, Art thou the King of
the Jews ? And Jesus said unto
him. Thou sayest.
12 And when he was accused of
the chief priests and elders, he an
swered nothing.
13 Then said Pilate unto him,
Hearest thou not how many things
they witness against thee ?
14 And he answered him to never
a word ; Insomuch that the governor
marvelled greatly.

S. MATTHEW, XXVII.

15 Now at that feast the governor
was wont to release unto the people
a prisoner, whom they would.
16 And they had then a notable
prisoner, called Barabbas.
17 Therefore when they were
gathered together, Pilate said unto
them. Whom will ye that I release
unto you ? Barabbas, or Jesus which
Is called Christ ?
18 For he knew that for envy
they had delivered him.
19 Tf When he was set down on
the judgment seat, his wife sent unto
him, saying, Have thou, nothing to
do with that just man : for I have
suffered many things this day in a
dream because of him.
20 But the chief priests and elders
persuaded the multitude that they
should ask Barabbas, and destroy
Jesus. 21 The governor answered and
said unto them, Whether of the twain
will ye that I release unto you ? They
said, Barabbas.
22 Pilate saith unto thera. What
shall I do then with Jesus which is
called Christ ? They all say [unto
him], Let him be crucified,
23 And [the governor: he] said.
Why, what evil hath he done ? But
they cried out the more, saying. Let
him be crucified.
24 If When Pilate saw that he
could prevail nothing, but that rather
a tumult was made, he took water,
and washed his hands before the mul
titude, saying, I am innocent of [the
blood of this just person: this blood] :
see ye to it
25 Then answered all the people.

and said. His blood be on us, and on
our children.
26 1" Then released he Barabbas
unto them : and when he had scourged
Jesus,' he delivered him'to be crucified,
27 Then the soldiers of the
governor took Jesus into the common
hall, and gathered unto him the
whole band of soldiers.
28 And they stripped him, and
put on him a scarlet robe.
29 1 And when they had platted
a crown of thorns, they put it upon
his head, and a reed in his right hand:
and they bowed the knee before him,
and mocked him, saying. Hail, King
of the Jews !
30 And they spit upon him, and
took the reed, and smote him on the
head. 31 And after that they had mocked
him, they took the robe off from
him, and put his own ralnaent on
him, and led him away to crucify
him. 32 And as they came out, they
found a man of Cyrene, Simon by
name: him they compelled to bear
his cross.
33 And when they were come
unto a place called Golgotha, that is
to say, a place of a skull,
34 If They gave hira vinegar to
drink mingled with gall: and when
he had tasted thereof, he would not
drink. 35 And they crucified him, and
parted his garments, casting lots:
[that it might be fulfilled which was

36 And sitting down they watched
him there;
37 And set up over his head his
accusation written, THIS IS JESUS
THE KING OF THE JEWS,
38 Then were there two thieves
crucified with him, one on the right
hand, and another on the left,
39 If And they that passed by re
viled him, wagging their heads,
40 And saying, Thou that de-
stroyest the temple, and buildest it
in three days, save thyself If thou
be the Son of God, come down from
the cross.
41 Likevnse also the chief priests
mocking him, with the scribes and
elders, said,
42 He saved others ; himself he
cannot save, jlf he be: He is] the
King of Israel, let him now come
down from the cross, and we will be
lieve \o7i\ him.
43 He trusted in God ; let him
deliver him now, if he will have
him : for he said, I am the Son of God.
44 The thieves also, which were
crucified with him, cast the same in
his teeth.
45 Now from the sixth hour there
was darkness over all the land unto
the ninth hour.
46 And about the ninth hour
Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying,
Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to
say. My God, ray God, why hast thou
forsaken me?
47 Some of them that stood there,
when they heard that, said, This man
calleth for Elias.
48 And straightway one of them
ran, and took a, spunge, and filled It
with vinegar, and put it on a reed,
and gave him to drink.
49 The rest said, Let be, let us see
whether Elias will come to save him.

50 If Jesus, when he had cried
again with a loud voice, yielded- up
the ghost.
51 And, behold, the veil of the
temple was rent in twain from the
top to the bottom ; and the earth did
quake, and the rocks rent;
52 And the graves were opened;
and many bodies of the saints which
slept arose,
53 And came out of the graves
after his resurrection, and went into
the holy city, and appeared unto
many. 54 Now when the centurion, and
they that were with him, watching
Jesus, saw the earthquake, and those
things that were done, they feared
greatly, saying, Truly this was the
Son of God.
55 And many women were there
beholding afar off, which followed
Jesus from Galilee, ministering unto
him: 56 Among which was Mary
Magdalene, and Mary the mother of
James and Joses, and the mother of
Zebedee's children.
57 When the even was come, there
came a rich man of Ailmathsea,
naraed Joseph, who also himself was
Jesus' disciple:
58 He went to Pilate, and begged
the body of Jesus. Then Pilate com
manded the body to be delivered.
59 And when Joseph had taken
the body, he wrapped it in a clean
linen cloth,
60 And laid it in his own new
tomb, which he had hewn out in the
rock : and he rolled a great stone to
the door of the sepulchre, and de
parted. 61 And there was Mary Magda
lene, and the other Mary, sitting over
against the sepulchre.

62 If Now the next day, that fol
lowed the day of the preparation, the
chief priests and Pharisees came to
gether unto Pilate,
63 Saying, Sir, we remember that
that deceiver said, while he was yet
alive, After three days I will rise

64 Command therefore that the
sepulchre be made sure until the
third day, lest his disciples come [by
night], and steal hira away, and say
unto the people. He is risen from the
dead : so the last error shall be worse
than the first.
65 Pilate said unto them. Ye have
a watch: go your way, make it as
sure as ye can.
66 So they went, and made the
sepulchre sure, sealing the stone, and
setting a watch. CHAP. XXVIII.
N the end of the sabbath, as it
began to dawn toward the first
day of the week, came Mary Mag
dalene and the other Mary to see the
sepulchre. 2 And, behold, there was a great
earthquake : for the angel of the Lord
descended from heaven, and came
and rolled back the stone [from the
door] , and sat upon it.
3 His countenance was like light
ning, and his raiment white as snow:
4 And for fear of him the keepers
did shake, and became as dead men.
5 And the angel answered and
said unto the women. Fear not ye :
for I know that ye seek Jesus, which
was crucified.
6 He is not here : for he Is risen,

as he said. Come, see the place
where [the Lord: he] lay,
7 And go quickly, and tell his
disciples that he is risen from the
dead ; and, behold, he goeth before
you into Galilee; there shall ye see
hira : lo, I have told you,
8 And they departed quickly from
the sepulchre with fear and great
joy; and did run to bring his dis
ciples word.
9 If And [as they went to tell his
disciples], behold, Jesus met them,
saying, Alt hail. And they came
and held him by the feet, and wor
shipped him.
10 Then said Jesus unto them,
Be not afraid : go tell my brethren
that they go into Galilee, and there
shall they see me,
1 1 If Now when they were going, ,
behold, some of the watch came into
the city, and shewed unto the chief
priests all the things that were done.
12 And when they were assembled
with the elders, and had taken coun
sel, they gave large money unto the
soldiers, 13 Saying, Say ye, His disciples
came by night, and stole him away
while we slept,
14 And if this come to the gover
nor's ears, we will persuade him, and
secure you.
15 So they took the money, and
did as they were taught: and this
saying is commonly reported among
the Jews until this day.
16 If Then the eleven disciples
went away into Galilee, Into a moun
tain where Jesus had appointed
them.

out of the water, he saw the "heavens
opened, and the Spirit like a dove de
scending upon him :
1 1 And there came a voice from
heaven, saying. Thou art my beloved
Son, In [whom : thee] I am well pleased.
12 And Immediately the spirit
driveth him into the wilderness.
13 And he was [there] in the
wilderness forty days, tempted of
Satan; and was with the wild

beasts ; and
unto him,
14 Now after that John was put
in prison, Jesus came Into Galilee,
preaching the gospel [ofthe kingdom]
of God,
15 [And] saying. The time is ful
filled, and the kingdom of God is at
hand: repent ye, and believe the
gospel. 16 Now as he walked by the sea
of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew
his brother casting a net into the sea :
for they were fishers.
17 And Jesus said unto them.
Come ye after me, and I will make
you to become fishers of men.
18 And straightway they forsook
their nets, and followed him.
19 And when he had gone a
little farther [thence], he saw James
the son of Zebedee, and John his
brother, who also were in the ship
mending their nets.
20 And straightway he called
them: and they left their father

Zebedee in the ship with the hired
servants, and went after him.
21 And they went Into Capernaum-
and straightway on the sabbath day
[he entered into the synagogue, and
taught : he taught in the synagogue].
22 And they were astonished at
his doctrine: for he taught them as
one that had authority, and not as
the scribes.
23 And there was in their syna
gogue a man with an unclean spirit;
and he cried out,
24 Saying, [Let us alone ;] what
have we to do with thee, thou Jesus
of Nazareth? art thou come to de

the Holy One of God.
25 And Jesus rebuked him, saying,
Hold thy peace, and come out of him.

had torn him, and cried with a loud
voice, he came out of hira.
27 And they were all amazed, in
somuch that they questioned among

spread abroad throughout all the

31 And he carae and took her by
the hand, and lifted her up ; and [Im
mediately] the fever left her, and she
ministered unto them.
32 And at even, when the sun did
set, they brought unto him all that
were diseased, and them that were
possessed with devils.
33 And all the city was gathered
together at the door.
34 And he healed many that were
sick of divers diseases, and cast out
many devils; and suffered not the

offer for thy cleansing those things
which Moses commanded, for a testi

perceived In his spirit that they so
reasoned within themselves, he said
unto them, Why reason ye these
things in your hearts?
9 Whether is it easier to say to
the sick of the palsy, Thy sins be for
given thee; or to say, Arise, [and]
take up thy bed, and walk?

the Son of man hath power on earth
to forgive sins, (he saith to the sick

resorted unto him, and he taught them.
14 And as he passed by, he saw
Levi the son of Alphseus sitting at
the receipt of custom, and said unto
him. Follow me. And he arose and
followed him.
15 And it came to pass, that, as
Jesus sat at meat in his house, many
publicans and sinners sat also together
with Jesus and his disciples : for there
were many, and they followed him.
16 And when the scribes and

Pharisees saw him eat with publicans
and sinners, they said unto his dis
ciples, How is it that he eateth and
drinketh with publicans and sinners?

no need of the physician, but they
that are sick : I carae not to call the
righteous, but sinners [to repentance],
18 And the disciples of John and
of the Pharisees used to fast: and
they come and say unto him, Why

Pharisees fast, but thy disciples fastnot?

as long as they have the bridegroom

AND he began again to teach by
the sea side: and there was
gathered unto him a great multitude,
so that he entered into a ship, and
sat in the sea; and the whole multi
tude was by the sea on the land.
2 And he taught them many things
by parables, and said unto them in
his doctrine,
3 Hearken; Behold, there went
out a sower to sow :
4 And it came to pass, as he sowed,
some fell by the way side, and the
fowls [of the air] came and devoured
it up. 5 And some fell on stony ground,
where it had not much earth: and
immediately it sprang up, because it
had no depth of earth :
6 But when the sun was up, it
was scorched ; and because it had no
root, it withered away.

7 And some fell among thorns,
and the thorns grew up, and choked
it, and it yielded no fruit.
8 And other fell On good ground,
and did yield fruit that sprang up
and increased; and brought forth,
[some: as much as] thirty, and [some:
as much as] sixty, and [some : as much
as] an hundred.
9 And he said unto them. He that
hath ears to hear, let him hear.
10 And when he was alone, they
that were about him with the twelve
asked of him the [parable: parables].
11 And he said [unto thera]. Un
to you it is given to know: has been
granted theraystery of the kingdom of
God: but unto them that are without,
all these things are done in parables ;
12 That seeing they may see, and
not perceive ; and hearing they may
hear, and not understand ; lest at any
time they should be converted, and
[their sins: it] shouldbe forgiven thera.
13 And he said unto them. Know
ye not this parable? and how then
will ye know all parables?
14 If The sower soweth the word.
15 And these are they by the way
side, where the word is sown; but
when they have heard, Satan cometh
immediately, and taketh away the
word that was sown [in their hearts:
on them].
16 And these are they likewise
which are sown on stony ground;
who, when they have heard the word,
immediately receive it with gladness;
17 And have no root in them
selves, and so endure but for a time :

afterward, when afiaiction or persecu
tion ariseth for the word's sake, im
mediately they are offended.
18 And [these are they: there are
others] which are sown among thorns;
such as hear the word,
19 And the cares of this world,
and the deceitfulness of riches, and the
lusts of other things entering in, choke
the word, and it becometh unfruitful,
20 And these are they which are
sown on good ground; such as hear
the word, and receive it, and bring
forth fruit, some thirtyfold, some
sixty, and some an hundred,
21 If And he said unto them, Is a
candle brought to be put under a
bushel, or under a bed ? and not to
be set on a candlestick?
22 For there Is nothing hid, which
shall not be manifested : neither was
any thing kept secret, but that it
should come abroad,
23 If any man have ears to hear,
let him hear,
24 And he said unto them, Take
heed what ye hear : with what mea
sure ye mete, it shall be measured to
you : and unto you [that hear] shall
more be given,
25 For he that hath, to him shall
be given : and he that hath not, from
him shall be taken even that which
he hath.
26 If And he said, So is the king
dom of God, as if a man should cast
seed into the ground ;
27 And should sleep, and rise night
and day, and the seed should spring
and grow up, he knoweth not how.

28 [For] the earth bringeth forth
fruit of herself ; £rst the blade, then the
ear, after that the full corn in the ear.
29 But when the fruit is brought
forth, immediately he putteth in the
sickle, because the harvest is come.
30 If And he said, [Whereunto:
How] shall we liken the kingdom of
God? or [with what comparison shall
we compare it : under what semblance
are we to set it] ?
31 It is like a grain of mustard
seed, which, when it Is sown in the
earth, is less than all the seeds that
be in the earth :
32 But when it is sown, it groweth
up, and becometh greater than all
herbs, and shooteth out great branches ;
so that the fowls of the air may
lodge under the shadow of it.
33 And with many such parables
spake he the word unto them, as they
were able to hear it.
34 But without a parable spake he
not unto them : and when they were
alone, he expounded all things to his
[oww] disciples.
35 And the same day, when the
even was come, he saith unto thera,
Let us pass over unto the other side.
36 And when they had sent away
the multitude, they took him even as
he was in the ship. And there were
also with him other little ships.
37 And there arose a great storm
of wind, and the waves beat into the
ship, so that it was now full.
38 And he was in the hinder part
of the ship, asleep on a pillow: and
they awake hira, and say unto hira.
Master, carest thou not that we perish ?
39 And he arose, and rebuked the

wind, and said unto the sea, Peace,
be still. And the wind ceased, and
there was a great calm.
40 And he said unto them. Why
are ye [so fearful? how is it that ye
have : fearful ? have ye yet] no faith ?
41 And they feared exceedingly,
and said one to another, What man
ner of man is this, that even the wind
and the sea obey him?
CHAP. V.
AND they came over unto the
other side of the sea, into the
country of the jGadarenes : Gera-
senes]. 2 And when he was come out of
the ship, imraediately there met him
out of the tombs a man with an un
clean spirit,
3 Who had his dwelling among
the tombs ; and no man could bind
him, no, not with chains:
4 Because that he had been often
bound with fetters and chains, and
the chains had been plucked asunder
by hira, and the fetters broken In
pieces : neither could any man tame
him. 5 And always, night and day, he
was in the mountains, and in the
tombs, crying, and cutting himself
with stones.
6 But when he saw Jesus afar off,
he ran and worshipped him,
7 And cried with a loud voice,
and said. What have I to do with
thee, Jesus, thou Son of the most
high God? I adjure thee by God,
that thou torment me not.
8 For he said unto him, Come out
of the raan, thou unclean spirit.

9 And he asked .him, What is thy
name? And he answered, saying.
My name is Legion : for we are
many, 10 And he besought hirii much
that he would not send, them away
out of the country.
1 1 Now there was there nigh unto
the mountains a great herd of swine
feeding. 12 And [aU the devils: they] be
sought him, saying, Send us into
the swine, that we may enter into
them, 13 And [forthwith Jesus : he] gave
them leave. And the unclean spirits
went out, and entered into the swine :
and the herd ran violently down a
steep place into the sea, ( [they were]
about two thousand;) and were
choked in the sea.
14 And they that fed the swine
fled, and told it in the city, and in
the country. And they went out to
see what it was that was done,
15 And they come to Jesus, and
see him that was possessed with the
devil, and had the. legion, sitting,
[and] clothed, and in his right mind :
and they were afraid,
16 And they that saw it told them
how it befell to hira that was possessed
with the devil, and also concerning
the swine,
17 And they began to pray hira
to depart out of their coasts.
18 And when he was come into
the ship, he that had been possessed
with the devil prayed him that he
might be with him,
19 Howbeit [Jesus: he] suffered
him not, but saith unto him. Go

home to thy friends, and tell them
how great things the Lord hath done
for thee, and hath had compassion on
thee, 20 And he departed, and began to
publish in Decapolis how great things
Jesus had done for him : and all men
did marvel,
21 And when Jesus was passed
over again by ship unto the other
side, much people gathered unto him :
and he was nigh unto the sea,
22 And, [behold,] there cometh
one of the rulers of the synagogue,
Jairus by name ; and when he saw
him, he fell at his feet,
23 And besought him greatly,
saying. My little daughter lieth at
the point of death: I pray thee, come
and lay thy hands on her, that she
may be healed; and she shall live.
24 And Jesus went with him ; and
much people followed him, and
thronged him.
25 And a certain woman, which
had an issue of blood twelve years,
26 And had suffered many things
of many physicians, and had spent
all that she had, and was nothing
bettered, but rather grew worse,
27 When she had heard of Jesus,
came in the press behind, and touched
his garment.
28 For she said, If I may touch
but his clothes, I shall be whole.
29 And straightway the fountain
of her blood was dried up ; and she
felt in her body that she was healed
of that plague.
30 And Jesus, imraediately know
ing in himself that virtue had gone
out of hira, turned hira about in the

press, and said, Who touched my
clothes? 31 And his disciples said unto him,
Thou seest the multitude thronging
thee, and sayest thou, Who touched
me? 32 And he looked round about to
see her that had done this thing.
33 But the woman fearing and
trembling, knowing what was done
in her, carae and fell down before
him, and told him all the truth.
34 And he said unto her. Daugh
ter, thy faith hath made thee whole;
go in peace, and be whole of thy
plague. 35 While he yet spake, there came
from the ruler of the synagogue's
house certain which said, Thy daugh
ter is dead: why troublest thou the
Master any further?
36 [As soon as Jesus heard: But
Jesus, overhearing] the word that was
spoken, he saith unto the ruler of the
synagogue, Be not afraid, only be
lieve. 37 And he suffered no man to fol
low him, save Peter, and James, and
John the brother of James.
38 And he cometh to the house of
the ruler of the synagogue, and seeth
the tumult, and thera that wept and
wailed greatly.
39 And when he was come In, he
saith unto them, Why make ye this
ado, and weep ? the damsel is not
dead, but sleepeth.
40 And they laughed him to scorn.
But when he had put them all out,
he taketh the father and the mother
of the damsel, and them that were
with him, and entereth in where the
damsel was [lying],
41 And he took the damsel by the
hand, and said unto her, Talitha cumi ;

which is, being interpreted, Damsel,
I say unto thee, arise.
42 And straightway the damsel
arose, and walked; for she was of
the age of twelve years. And they
were astonished with a great astonish-
raent. 43 And he charged them straitly
that no raan should know it; and
commanded that something should be
given her to eat.

AND he went out from thence,
and came into his own country;
and his disciples follow him.
2 And when the sabbath day was
come, he began to teach in the syna
gogue : and many hearing him were
astonished, saying, From whence hath
this man these things? and what wis
dom is this which is given unto him,
that even such mighty works are
wrought by his hands?
3 Is not this the carpenter, the son
of Mary, the brother of James, and
Joses, and of Juda, and Simon? and
are not his sisters here with us ? And
they were offended at him.
4 But Jesus said unto them, A
prophet is not without honour, but
in his own country, and among his
own kin, and In his own house.
5 And he could there do no mighty
work, save that he laid his hands upon
a few sick folk, and healed them.
6 And he marvelled because of
their unbelief. And he went round
about the villages, teaching.
7 If And he called unto him the
twelve, and began to send them forth
by two and two ; and gave them
power over unclean spirits ;
8 And commanded them that they
should take nothing for their journey,

save a staff only ; no scrip, no bread,
no money in their purse:
9 But be shod with sandals; and
not put on two coats.
10 And he said unto them, In
what place soever ye enter into an
house, there abide till ye depart from
that place.
11 And [whosoever: whatsoever
place] shall not receive you, nor hear
you, when ye depart thence, shake
off the dust under your feet for a
testimony against them. [Verily I
say unto you. It shall be more toler
able for Sodom and Gomorrha In
the day of judgment, than for that
city.] 12 And they went out, and preach
ed that men should repent.
13 And they cast out many devils,
and anointed with oil raany that were
sick, and healed thera.
14 And king Herod heard of hira ;
(for his name was spread abroad:)
and he said. That John the Baptist
was risen frora the dead, and there
fore mighty works do shew forth
themselves in him.
15 Others said, That it is Elias.
And others said, [That it is a pro
phet, or as one of the prophets:
That it was a prophet as one of the
prophets]. 16 But when Herod heard thereof,
he said, [It is John, whom I beheaded :
he is risen from the dead: John
whom I beheaded, he is risen].
17 For Herod himself had sent
forth and laid hold upon John, and
bound him in prison for Herodias'

sake, his brother Philip's wife: for he
had married her.
18 For John had said unto Herod,
It is not lawful for thee to have thy
brother's wife.
19 Therefore Herodias had a quar
rel against him, and would have
killed him ; but she could not :
20 For Herod feared John, know
ing that he was a just man and an
holy, and observed him; and when
he heard him, he did many things,
and heard him gladly,
21 And when a convenient day
was come, that Herod on his birth
day made a supper to his lords,
high captains, and chief estates of
Galilee ;
22 And when the daughter of the
said Herodias came in, and danced,
[and pleased Herod and them that sat
with him, the king : she pleased Herod
and . . . and the king] said unto the
damsel. Ask of me whatsoever thou
wilt, and I will give it thee,
23 And he sware unto her, What
soever thou shalt ask of me, I will
give it thee, unto the half of my
kingdom. 24 And she went forth, and said
unto her mother. What shall I ask?
And she said. The head of John the
Baptist. 25 And she came in straightway
with haste unto the king, and asked,
saying, I will that thou give me by
and by in a charger the head of John
the Baptist.

sorry; yet for his oath's sake, and for

would not reject her,
27 And immediately the king sent
an executioner, and commanded his
head to be brought : and he went and
beheaded him In the prison,
28 And brought his head in a
charger, and gave it to the damsel:
and the damsel gave it to her mother.
29 And when his disciples heard
of it, they came and took up his
corpse, and laid it in a tomb.
30 And the apostles gathered them
selves together unto Jesus, and told
him all things, [both] what they had
done, and what they had taught.
31 And he said unto them. Come
ye yourselves apart into a desert
place, and rest a while : for there were
many coming and going, and they
had no leisure so much as to eat.
32 And they departed into a desert
place by ship privately.
33 And the people saw thera de
parting, and many knew him : many
saw them departing and knew them],
and ran afoot thither out of all cities,
and outwent them, [and came to
gether unto hira].
34 And [Jesus], when he came
out, saw much people, and was moved
with compassion toward them, be
cause they were as sheep not having
a shepherd: and he began to teach
them many things.
35 And when the day was now
far spent, his disciples came unto
him, and said. This is a desert place,
and now the time is far passed :

36 Send them away, that they
may go into the country round about,
and Into the villages, and buy them
selves [bread: for they have nothing
to eat: something to eat].
37 He answered and said unto
them. Give ye thera to eat. And
they say unto hira. Shall we go and
buy two hundred pennyworth of
bread, and give them to eat?
38 He saith unto them, How many
loaves have ye? go [and] see. And
when they knew, they say. Five, and
two fishes.
39 And he commanded them to
make all sit down by companies upon
the green grass.
40 And they sat down in ranks,
by hundreds, and by fifties.
41 And when he had taken the
five loaves and the two fishes, he
looked up to heaven, and blessed, and
brake the loaves, and gave them to
[his: the] disciples to set before them;
and the two fishes divided he among
them all.
42 And they did all eat, and were
filled. 43 And they took up [twelve bas
kets full of the fragments: broken
pieces enough to Jill twelve baskets], and
of the fishes.
44 And they that did eat of the
loaves were [about] five thousand men.
45 And straightway he constrained
his disciples to get into the ship, and
to go to the other side before unto
Bethsaida, while he sent away the
people.

46 And when he had sent them
away, he departed into a mountain to
pray, 47 And when even was come, the
ship was in the midst of the sea, and
he alone on the land,
48 And [he saw: seeing] them toll
ing in rowing ; for the wind was
contrary unto them : [and] about the
fourth watch of the night he cometh
unto them, walking upon the sea, and
would have passed by them,
49 But when they saw him walk
ing upon the sea, they supposed it
had been a spirit, and cried out :
50 For they all saw him, and were
troubled. And immediately he talk
ed with them, and saith unto thera.
Be of good cheer: it is I; be not afraid.
51 And he went up unto them
into the ship ; and the wind ceased :
and they were sore amazed in them
selves beyond measure [and won
dered], 52 For they considered not the
miracle of the loaves : for their heart
was hardened,
53 And when they had passed
over, they came into the land of
Gennesaret, and drew to the shore,
54 And when they were come out
of the ship , straightway they knew hira ,
55 And ran through that whole
region round about, and began to
carry about in beds those that were
sick, where they heard he was.
56 And whithersoever he entered,
into villages, or cities, or country,
they laid the sick in the streets, and
besought him that they might touch

THEN came together unto him the
Pharisees, and certain of the
scribes, which came from Jerusalem.
2 And when they saw some of his
disciples eat bread with defiled, that
Is to say, with unwashen, hands, [they
found fault].
3 For the Pharisees, and all the
Jews, except they wash their hands
oft, eat not, holding the tradition of
the elders.
4 And when they come from the
market, except they wash, they eat
not. And many other things there
be, which they have received to hold,
as the washing of cups, and pots,
brasen vessels, and of tables.
5 [Then: And] the Pharisees and
scribes asked him, Why walk not thy
disciples according to the tradition of
the elders, but eat bread with [un

6 He [answered and] said unto
them. Well hath Esaias prophesied of
you hypocrites, as it is written. This
people honoureth me with their lips,
but their heart is far from me.
7 Howbeit In vain do they wor
ship me, teaching for doctrines the
comraandments of men.

ment of God, ye hold the tradition of
men [as the washing of pots and cups :

ye do].

9 And he said unto them. Full
well ye reject the commandment of
God, that ye may keep your own
tradition. 10 For Moses said, Honour thy
father and thy mother; and, Whoso
curseth father or mother, let him die
the death:
11 But ye say, If a man shall say
to his fathe'r or mother, It is Corban,
that is to say, a gift, by whatsoever
thou mightest be profited by me ; he
shall be free.
12 And ye suffer him no more
to do ought for his father or his
mother ;
13 Making the word of God of
none effect through your tradition,
which ye have delivered : and many
such like things do ye.
14 If And when he had [again']
called [all] the people unto him,
he said unto them. Hearken unto
me every one of you, and under
stand :
15 There is nothing from without
a man, that entering Into hira can
defile him: but the things which
come out of him, those are they that
defile the man.
16 [If any man have ears to hear,
let him hear.]
17 And when he was entered into
the house from the people, his dis
ciples asked hini concerning the
parable. 18 And he saith unto them, Are
ye so without understanding also?
Do ye not perceive, that whatsoever
thing from without entereth Into the
man, it cannot defile him;
19 Because it entereth not into his
heart, but Into the belly, and goeth

out Into the draught, purging all
meats ?
20 And he said. That which com
eth out of the man, that defileth the
man. 21 For from within, out of the
heart of men, proceed evil thoughts,
adulteries, fornications, murders,
22 Thefts, covetousness, wicked
ness, deceit, lasciviousness, an eril
eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness:
23 All these evil things come from
within, and defile the man.
24 If And from thence he arose,
and went Into the borders of Tyre
[and Sidon], and entered into an
house, and would have no man know
it : but he could not be hid.
25 [For: But forthwith] a, ceitaia
woman, whose young daughter had
an unclean spirit, heard of him, and
came and fell at his feet :
26 The woman was a Greek, a
Syrophenician by nation; and she
besought him that he would cast
forth the devil out of her daugh
ter. 27 [But Jesus: And he] said unto
her, Let the children first be filled:
for it is not meet to take the chil
dren's bread, and to cast it unto the
dogs. 28 And she answered and said
unto him, Yes, Lord: yet the dogs
under the table eat of the children's
crumbs. 29 And he said unto her. For this
saying go thy way; the devil is gone
out of thy daughter.
30 And when she was come to
her house, she found the devil gone
out, and her daughter laid upon the
bed.

31 If And again, departing from
the coasts of Tyre [and Sidon, he
came: he came through Sidon] unto
the sea of Galilee, through the midst
of the coasts of Decapolis.
32 And they bring unto him one
that was deaf, and had an impediment
in his speech; and they beseech hira
to put his hand upon him,
33 And he took him aside from
the multitude, and put his fingers
into his ears, and he spit, and touched
his tongue ;
34 And looking up to heaven, he
sighed, and saith unto him, Ephpha-
tha, that is, Be opened,
35 And [straightway] his ears
were opened, and the string of his
tongue was loosed, and he spake
plain, 36 And he charged them that
they should tell no man: but the
more he charged them, so much the
more a great deal they published it;
37 And were beyond measure
astonished, saying. He hath done all

CHAP, VIIL
IN those days the multitude being
[very: again] great, and having
nothing to eat, Jesus called [his: the]
disciples unto him, and saith unto
them, 2 I have compassion on the multi
tude, because they have now been
with me three days, and have nothing
to eat:
3 And if I send them away fasting
to their own houses, they will faint

by the way : [for divers of them came :
and some of them are] from far.
4 And his disciples answered him,
From whence can a man satisfy these
men with bread here in the wil
derness? 5 And he asked them. How many
loaves have ye ? And they Said,
Seven. 6 And he commanded the people
to sit down on the ground : and he
took the seven loaves, and gave
thanks, and brake, and gave to his
disciples to set before them ; and they
did set them before the people.
7 And they had a few small fishes :
and he blessed, and [commanded to
set them also: set them] before them.
8 So they did eat, and were filled :
and they took up of the broken meat
that was left seven baskets.
9 And they [that had eaten] were
about four thousand: and he sent
them away.
10 If And straightway he entered
into a ship with his disciples, and
came into the parts of Dalmanutha.
1 1 And the Pharisees came forth,
and began to question with him,
seeking of him a sign from heaven,
tempting him.
12 And he sighed deeply in his
spirit, and saith, Why doth this
generation seek after a sign? verily I
say unto you. There shall no sign be
given unto this generation.
13 And he left them, and [entering
into the ship: going aboard] again
departed to the other side.

gotten to take bread, neither had they

in the ship with them more than one
loaf. 15 And he charged them, saying,
Take heed, beware of the leaven of
the Pharisees, and of the leaven of
Herod. 16 And they reasoned among them
selves, [saying. It is because we have :
because they had ] no bread.
_17 And when [Jesus] knew it, he
saith unto them. Why reason ye, be
cause ye have no bread? perceive ye
not yet, neither understand? have ye
your heart [yet] hardened?
18 Having eyes, see ye not? and
having ears, hear ye not? and do ye
not remember?
19 When I brake the five loaves
among five thousand, how many bas
kets full of fragments took ye up?
They say unto him. Twelve.
20 And when the seven among
four thousand, how many baskets full
of fragments took ye up? And they
said, Seven.
21 And he said unto them, [How
is it that ye do not : Do you not yet]
understand? 22 If And [he cometh : they come]
to Bethsaida; and they bring a blind
man unto him, and besought him to
touch him.
23 And he took the blind man by
the hand, and led hira out of the
town; and when he had spit on his
eyes, and put his hands upon him, he
.asked him If he saw ought.
24 And he looked up, and said, I
see men as trees, walking.

25 After that he put his hands
again upon his eyes, and [made him
look up : he saw clearly] ; and he was
restored, and saw [every man: all
things] clearly.
26 And he sent him away to his
house, saying. Neither go into the
town, nor tell it to any in the town.
27 1 And Jesus went out, and his
disciples, into the towns of Cassarea
Philippi: and by the way he asked
his disciples, saying unto them, Whom
do men say that I am?
28 And they [answered: told him,
saying] John the Baptist: but some
say, Elias; and others. One of the
prophets. 29 And he saith unto them. But
whom say ye that I am? [And]
Peter answereth and saith unto him,
Thou art the Christ.
30 And he charged them that they
should tell no man of him.
31 And he began to teach them,
that the Son of man must suffer
raany things, and be rejected of the
elders, and of the chief priests, and
scribes, and be killed, and after three
days rise again.
32 And he spake that saying
openly. And Peter took him, ahd
began to rebuke him.
33 But when he had turned about
and looked on his disciples, he re
buked Peter, saying. Get thee behind
rae, Satan : for thou savourest not the
things that be of God, but the things
that be of raen.

also, he said unto them. Whosoever
will come after me, let him deny
himself, and take up his cross, and
follow me.
35 For whosoever will save his
life shall lose it; but whosoever shall
lose his life for my sake and the gos
pel's, [the same] shall save it.
36 For what shall it profit a man,
if he shall gain the whole world, and
lose his own soul?
37 [Or what shall a man give in
exchange : For what is an exchange]
for his soul?
38 Whosoever therefore shall be
ashamed of me and of my words in
this adulterous and sinful generation :
of him also shall the Son of man be
ashamed, when he cometh in the
glory of his Father with the holy
ansrels.
CHAP. IX.
AND he said unto them. Verily I
say unto you. That there be
some of them that stand here, which
shall not taste of death, till they have
seen the kingdom of God corae with
power. 2 If And after six days Jesus taketh
with him Peter, and Jaraes, and John,
and leadeth them up into an high
mountain apart by themselves: and
he was transfigured before them.
3 And his raiment became shining,
exceeding white [as snow] ; so as no
fiiller on earth can white them.
4 And there appeared unto them
Elias with Moses: and they were
talking with Jesus.
5 And Peter answered and said to
Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be

here: and let us make three taber
nacles; one for thee, and one for
Moses, and one for EHas.
6 For he wist not what to say;
for they were sore afraid.
7 And there was a cloud that
overshadowed them: and a voice
came out ofthe cloud, [saying,] This
is ray beloved Son : hear him.
8 And suddenly, when they had
looked round about, they saw no man
any more, save Jesus only with them
selves. 9 And as they came down from
the mountain, he charged them that
they should tell no man what things
they had seen, till the Son of man
were risen from the dead.
10 And they kept that saying with
themselves, questioning one with
another what the rising from the
dead should mean.
11 If And they asked him, saying,
Why say the scribes that Elias must
first come?
12 And he answered and told
them, Elias verily cometh first, and
restoreth all things ; and how It is
written of the Son of man, that he
must suffer many things, and be set
at nought. 13 But I say unto you. That Elias
is indeed come, and they have done
unto him whatsoever they listed, as
it is written of him.
14 If And when he came to his
disciples, he saw a great multitude
about them, and the scribes question
ing with them.
15 And straightway all the people,
when they beheld him, were greatly
amazed, and running to him saluted
him.

16 And he asked [the scribes:
them], What question ye with them?
17 And one of the multitude an
swered [and said: him]. Master, I
have brought unto thee my son,
which hath a dumb spirit ;
18 And wheresoever he taketh
him, he teareth hira: and he foam-
eth, and gnasheth with his teeth, and
pineth away: and I spake to thy
disciples that they should cast him
out; and they could not.
19 He answereth him, and saith,
0 faithless generation, how long shall
I be with you? how long shall I
suffer you ? bring him unto me.
20 And they brought him unto
him : and when he saw him, straight
way the spirit tare him; and he
fell on the ground, and wallowed
foaming. 21 And he asked his father, How
long is it ago since this came unto
him? And he said, Of a child.
22 And ofttimes it hath cast him
into the fire, and into the waters, to
destroy him: but if thou canst do
any thing, have compassion on us,
and help us.
23 Jesus said unto him, [If thou
canst believe: If thou canst?], all
things are possible to him that be
lieveth. 24 [And] straightway the father
of the child cried out, and said [with
tears], [Lord,] I believe; help thou
mine unbelief
25 When Jesus saw that the
people came running together, he

rebuked the foul spirit, saying unto'
him, Thou dumb and deaf spirit, I
charge thee, come out of him, and
enter no raore into him.
26 And the spirit cried, and rent
him sore, and came out of him: and
he was as one dead; insomuch that
many said, He is dead.
27 But Jesus took him by the
hand, and lifted him up; and he
arose. 28 And when he was come into
the house, his disciples asked bim
privately, Why could not we oast
him out ?
29 And he said unto them. This
kind can come forth by nothing, but
by prayer [and fasting].
30 If And they departed thence,
and passed through Galilee ; and he
would not that any raan should
know it.
31 For he taught his disciples,
and said unto them. The Son of man
is delivered Into the hands of men,
and they shall kill him ; and after
that he is killed, he shall rise [the
third day: after three days].
32 But they understood not that
saying, and were afraid to ask him.
33 If And he came to Capernaum :
and being in the house he asked
thera, What was it that ye disputed
[among yourselves] by the way ?
34 But they held their peace:
for by the way they had disputed
among themselves, who should be
the greatest.

any man desire to be first, the
same shall be last of all, and servant

he had taken him in his arms, he said
unto them,
37 Whosoever shall receive one of
such children in my name, receiveth
me : and whosoever shall receive me,
receiveth not me, but him that sent
me. 38 If And John answered him,
saying. Master, we saw one casting
out devils In thy name, [and he fol-
loweth not us:] and we forbad him,
because he followeth not us.
39 But Jesus said, Forbid him
not : for there is no man which shall
do a miracle in my name, that can
hghtly speak evil of me.
40 For he that is not against us
is on our part.
41 For whosoever shall give you
a cup of water to drink [in my name,
because: on the score that] ye belong
to Christ, verily I say unto you, he
shall not lose his reward.
42 And whosoever shall offend
one of these little ones that believe
[in me], it is better for him that a
millstone were hanged about his neck,
and he were cast into the sea.
43 And if thy hand offend thee,
cut it off: it is better for thee to
enter into life maimed, than having
two hands to go into hell, into the
fire that never shall be quenched :

44 [Where their worm dieth not,
and the fire is not quenched.]
45 And If thy foot offend thee,
cut it off : it Is better for thee to
enter halt into life, than having two
feet to be cast into hell, [Into the
fire that never shall be quenched :]
46 [Where their worm dieth not,
and the fire is not quenched.]
47 And if thine eye offend thee,
pluck it out : it is better for thee to
enter into the kingdom of God with
one eye, than having two eyes to bo
cast into hell fire :
48 Where their worm dieth not,
and the fire Is not quenched.
49 For every one shall be salted

4 And they said, Moses suffered
to write a bill of divorcement, and to
put her away.
5 And Jesus answered and said
unto them. For the hardness of your
heart he wrote you this precept.
6 But from the beginning of the
creation [God: He] made them male
and female.
7 For this cause shall a man leave
his father and mother, and cleave to
his wife ;
8 And they twain shall be one
flesh: so then they are no raore
twain, but one flesh.
9 What therefore God hath joined
together, let not man put asunder.
10 And In the house [his : the] dis
ciples asked him again of the same
matter. 11 And he saith unto them, Who-
s6ever shall put away his wife, and
marry another, committeth adultery
against her.
12 And if [a woman: she] shall
put away her husband, and [be mar
ried to: marry] another, she commit
teth adultery,
13 If And they brought young
children to him, that he should touch
them : and his disciples rebuked those
that brought them.
14 But when Jesus saw it, he was
much displeased, and said unto them,
Sufier the little children to come
unto me, [and] forbid them not :
for of such is the kingdom of God.
15 Verily I say unto you. Whoso
ever shall not receive the kingdom of
God as a little child, he shall not
enter therein.
16 And he took thera up in his

arms, put his hands upon them, and
blessed them.
17 If And when he was gone forth
into the way, there came one running,
and kneeled to him, and asked him.
Good Master, what shall I do that I
may inherit eternal life ?
18 And Jesus said unto him.
Why callest thou me good ? there
Is none good but one, that is, God.
19 Thou knowest the command
ments. Do not commit adultery. Do
not kill, Do not steal. Do not bear
false witness, Defraud not. Honour
thy father and mother.
20 And he answered and said
unto hira. Master, all these have I
observed frora my youth.
21 Then Jesus beholding him,
loved him, and said unto him. One
thing thou kckest : go thy way, sell
whatsoever thou hast, and give to
the poor, and thou shalt have trea
sure in heaven : and come, [take up
the cross, and] follow me.
22 And he was sad at that saying,
and went away grieved : for he had
great possessions.
23 If And Jesus looked round
about, and saith unto his disciples,
How hardly shall they that have
riches enter Into the kingdom of God !
24 And the disciples were aston
ished at his words. But Jesus
answereth again, and saith unto them,
Children, how hard is It for them
that trust in riches to enter into the
kingdom of God !
25 It is easier for a camel to go
through the eye of a needle, than for
a rich man to enter into the kingdom
of God.

of measure, saying among themselves.
Who then can be saved ?
27 And Jesus looking upon them
saith, With men it is impossible,
but not with God : for with God all
things are possible.
28 % [Then] Peter began to say
unto him, Lo, we have left all, and

46 If And they came to Jericho :
and as he went out of Jericho with
his disciples and a great number of
people, blind Bartimaus, the son of
Tlmseus, sat by the highway side
begging. 47 And when he heard that it was
Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry
out, and say, Jesus, thou son of
David, have mercy on me.
48 And many charged him that
he should hold his peace : but he
cried the more a great deal. Thou
son of David, have mercy on me.
49 And Jesus stood still, and
commanded him to be called. And
they call the blind man, saying unto

50 And he, casting away his gar

passed by, they saw the fig tree dried
up from the roots.

AND he began to speak unto
them by parables. A certain
man planted a vineyard, and set an
hedge about it, and digged a place
for the winefat, and built a tower,
and let it out to husbandmen, and
went Into a far country.
2 And at the season he sent to
the husbandmen a servant, that he
might receive from the husbandmen
of the fruit of the vineyard.
3 And they caught him, and beat
hira, and sent him away empty.
4 And again he sent unto them
another servant ; and |at him tbey

reverence ray son.
7 But those husbandraen said
among themselves. This is the heir ;
corae, let us kill him, and the in
heritance shall be our's.
8 And they took hira, and killed
him, and cast him out of the vine

that his brother should take his wife,

25 For when they shall rise from
the dead, they neither marry, nor are
given in marriage ; but are as the
angels which are in heaven,
26 And as touching the dead, that

and for a pretence make long prayers :

widow, and she threw in two mites,

8 She hath done what she could :
she is come aforehand to anoint my
body to the burying.

Wheresoever this gospel shall be
preached throughout the whole world,
this also that she hath done shall be
spoken of for a memorial of her.
10 If And Judas Iscariot, one of
the twelve, went unto the chief
priests, to betray him unto them.
11 And when they heard it, they
were glad, and promised to give him
money. And he sought how he
might conveniently betray him.
12 If And the first day of unleav
ened bread, when they killed the
passover, his disciples said unto him.
Where wilt thou that we go and
prepare that thou mayest eat the
passover ?
13 And he sendeth forth two of
his disciples, and saith unto them,
Go ye into the city, and there shall
meet you a man bearing a pitcher of
water: follow him.
14 And wheresoever he shall go
in, say ye to the goodman of the
house, The Master saith. Where is
[the: my] guestchamber, where I
shall eat the passover with my dis
ciples ?
15 And he will shew you a large
upper room furnished and prepared :
[and] there make ready for us.

16 And his disciples went forth,
and came into the city, and found as
he had said unto them: and they
made ready the passover.
17 And In the evening he cometh
with the twelve.
18 And as they sat and did eat,
Jesus said, Verily I say unto you.
One of you which eateth with me
shall betray rae.
19 [And] they began to be'sorrow-
ful, and to say unto him one by one,
Is it I ? [and another said, Is it I?]
20 And he [answered and] said
unto them. It is one of the twelve,
that dippeth with me in the dish.
21 The Son of raan indeed goeth,
as it is written of him: but woe to
that man by whom the Son, of raan
is betrayed ! good [were it] for that
man If he had never been born.
22 1 And as they did eat, [Jesus]
took bread, and blessed, and brake it,
and gave to them, and said, Take,
[eat :] this is my body.
23 And he took [the: a cup,
and when he bad given thanks, he
gave it to them : and they all drank
of It.
24 And he said unto them. This
is my blood of the [new] testament,
which Is shed for raany.
25 Verily I say unto you, I will
drink no more of the fruit of the
vine, until that day that I drink it
new in the kingdom of God.
26 If And when they had sung an
hymn, they went out into the mount
of Olives.

27 And Jesus saith unto them,
All ye shall be offended [because of
me] [this night] : for it is written, I
will smite the shepherd, and the
sheep shall be scattered.
28 But after that I am risen, I
will go before you Into Galilee.
29 But Peter said unto him. Al
though all shall be ofiended, yet will
not I.
30 And Jesus saith unto him,
Verily I say unto thee. That this day,
even in this night, before the cock
crow twice, , thou shalt deny me
thrice. 31 But he spake [the more]
vehemently. If I should die with
thee, I will not deny thee in any wise.
Likewise also said they all.
32 And they came to a place
which was named Gethsemane: and
he saith to his disciples. Sit ye here,
while I shall pray.
33 And he taketh with him Peter
and Jaraes and John, and began
to be sore araazed, and to be very
heavy ;
34 And saith unto thera. My soul
is exceeding sorrowful unto death:
tarry ye here, and watch.
35 And he went forward a little,
and fell on the ground, and prayed
that, If it were possible, the hour
might pass from him.
36 And he said, Abba, Father, all
things are possible unto thee; take
away this cup from me : nevertheless
not what I will, but what thou wilt.
37 And he cometh, and findeth
them sleeping, and saith unto Peter,
Simon, sleepest thou ? couldest not
thou watch one hour?

38 Watch ye and pray, lest ye
enter into temptation. The spirit
truly Is ready, but the flesh is ^ak,
39 And again he went away, and
prayed, and spake the same words.
40 And when he returned, he
found them asleep again, (for then-
eyes were heavy,) neither wist they
what to answer him.
41 And he cometh the third time,
and saith unto them. Sleep on now,
and take your rest: it Is enough,
the hour is come; behold, the Son
of man is betrayed into the hands of
sinners. 42 Else up, let us go; lo, he that
betrayeth me is at hand.
43 If And imraediately, while he
yet spake, cometh Judas [Iscariot],
one of the twelve, and with him a
[great] raultltude with swords and
staves, from the chief priests and the
scribes and the elders.
44 And he that betrayed him
had given them a token, saying.
Whomsoever I shall kiss, that same
is he; take hira, and lead him away
safely. 45 And as " soon as he was come,
he goeth straightway to him, and
saith. Master, raaster ; and kissed
him. 46 If And they laid their hands
on him, and took him.
47 And one of them that stood
by drew a sword, and smote a ser
vant of the high priest, and cut off
his ear.
48 And Jesus answered and said
unto them, Are ye come out, as
against a thief, with swords and with
staves to take me ?

certain young man, having a linen

the right hand of power, and coming
In the clouds of heaven.

64 Ye have heard the blasphemy :
what think ye? And they all con

65 And some began to spit on
him, and to cover his face, and to

Prophesy: and the servants did
strike hira with the palms of their
hands. 66 If And as Peter was beneath
in the palace, there cometh one of the
maids of the high priest :
67 And when she saw Peter
warming himself, she looked upon
hira, and said. And thou also wast
with [Jesus of Nazareth: with the
Nazarene, with Jesus].
68 But he denied, saying, I know
not, neither understand I what thou
sayest. And he went out into the
porch; and the cock crew.
69 And a maid saw him again,
and began to say to them that stood
by, This is one of them.
70 And he denied it again. And
a little after, they that stood by said
again to Peter, Surely thou art one
of them : for thou art a Galilsean, [and
thy speech agreeth thereto.]
71 But he began to curse and to
swear, saying, I know not this man
of whora ye speak.

AND straightway In the morning
the chief priests held a con
sultation with the elders and scribes
and the whole council, and bound
Jesus, and carried him away, and
delivered him to Pilate.
2 And Pilate asked him , Art thou
the King ofthe Jews? And he an
swering said unto him. Thou sayest it.
3 And the chief priests accused
him of many things : but he answered
nothing. 4 And Pilate asked him again,
saying, Answerest thou nothing? be
hold how many things they [witness:
lay in charge] against thee.
5 But Jesus yet answered nothing ;
so that Pilate marvelled.
6 Now at that feast he released
unto them one prisoner, whomsoever
they desired.
7 And there was one named
Barabbas, which lay bound with
them that had made insurrection
[with him] , who had comraitted mur
der In the insurrection.
8 And the multitude [crying
aloud: going up] began to desire him
to do as he had ever done unto them.
9 But Pilate answered them, say
ing, Will ye that I release unto you
the King ofthe Jews?
10 For he knew that the chief
priests had delivered hira for envy.

1 1 But the chief priests moved the
people, that he should rather release
Barabbas unto them.
12 And Pilate answered and said
again unto them. What will ye then
that I shall do unto [him whom ye
call] the King ofthe Jews?
13 And they cried out again,
Crucify him.
14 Then Pilate said unto them.
Why, what evil hath he done? And
they cried out the more exceedingly.
Crucify him.
15 1 And so Pilate, willing to
content the people, released Barab
bas unto them, and delivered Jesus,
when he had scourged him, to be
crucified. 16 And the soldiers led him away
Into the hall, called Prastorlum; and
they call together the whole band.
17 And they clothed him with
purple, and platted a crown of thorns,
and put it about his head,
18 And began to salute him. Hail,
King of the Jews !
19 And they smote him on the
head with a reed, and did spit upon
him, and bowing their knees wor
shipped him.
20 And when they had mocked
him, they took off the purple from
him, and put his own clothes on him,
and led him out to crucify him.
21 And they compel one Simon
a Cyrenian, who passed by, coming
out of the country, the father of
Alexander and Eufus, to bear his cross.
22 And they bring him unto the
place Golgotha, which is, being in
terpreted. The place of a skull.
23 And they gave him [to drink]

S, MAEK, XV,

wine mingled with myrrh: but he
received it not,
24 And when they had crucified
him, they parted his garments, cast
ing lots upon them, what every man
should take,
25 And it was the third hour, and
they crucified him.
26 And the superscription of his
accusation was written over, THE
KING OF THE JEWS,
27 And with him they crucify
two thieves; the one on his right
hand, and the other on his left.
28 [And the scripture was ful
filled, which saith. And he was num
bered with the transgressors.]
29 And they that passed by railed
on him, wagging their heads, and
saying, Ah, thou that, destroyest
the temple, and buildest it in three
days, 30 Save thyself, and corae down
frora the cross.
31 Likewise also the chief priests
mocking said among themselves with
the scribes. He saved others; himself
he cannot save.
32 Let Christ the King of Israel
descend now from the cross, that we
may see and believe. And they that
were crucified with him reviled him.
33 And when the sixth hour was
corae, there was darkness over the
whole land until the ninth hour.
34 And at the ninth hour Jesus
cried with a loud voice, [saying,]
Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani ? which
is, being interpreted, My God, my
God, why hast thou forsaken me ?
35 And some of thera that stood
by, when they heard it, said, Behold,
he calleth Elias.

36 And one ran [and] filled a
spunge full of vinegar, [and] put it
on a reed, and gave hira to drink,
saying, Let alone ; let us see whether
Elias will come to take him down.
37 And Jesus cried with a loud
voice, and gave up the ghost.
38 And the veil of the temple
was rent in twain from the top to the
bottom. 39 If And when the centurion,
which stood over against him, saw
that he so cried out, and gave up the
ghost, he said. Truly this raan was
the Son of God.
40 There were also woraen looking
on afar ofl": among whom was Mary
Magdalene, and Mary the mother of
Jaraes the less and of Joses, and
Salome ;
41 (Who also, when he was in
Galilee, followed him, and ministered
unto him ;) and many other woraen
which came up with him unto Jeru
salem. 42 If And now when the even
was corae, because it was the pre
paration, that is,- the day before the
sabbath, 43 Joseph of Arimathaa, an
honourable counsellor, which also
waited for the kingdom of God, came,
and went in boldly unto Pilate, and
craved the body of Jesus.
44 And Pilate marvelled if he
were already dead: and calling unto
him the centurion, he asked hira
whether he had been any while
dead. 45 And when he knew it of the
centurion, he gave the [body : corpse]
to Joseph.
46 And he bought fine linen, [and]

took him down, and wrapped him in
the linen, and laid him in a sepulchre
which was hewn out of a, rock, and
rolled a stone unto the door of the
sepulchre. 47 And Mary Magdalene and Mary
the mother of Joses beheld where he
was laid.
CHAP. XVI.
AND when the sabbath was past,
Mary Magdalene, and Mary the
mother of James, and Salome, had
bought sweet spices, that they might
come and anoint him.
2 And very early in the morning
the first day of the week, they came
unto the sepulchre at the rising of the
sun. 3 And they said among them
selves, Who shall roll us away the
stone from the door of the sepulchre ?
4 And when they looked, they
saw that the stone was rolled [away:
back] : for it was very great.
5 And [entering into: coming to]
the sepulchre, they saw a young man
sitting on the right side, clothed in a
long white garment; and they were
affrighted. 6 And he saith unto them. Be not
aflfrlghted: Ye seek Jesus of Naza
reth, which was crucified: he is
risen; he is not here: behold the
place where they laid him.
7 But go your way, tell his dis
ciples and Peter that he goeth before
you into Galilee: there shall ye see
him, as he said unto you.
8 And they went out [quickly],
and fled from the sepulchre ; for they
trembled and were amazed : neither
said they any thing to any man; for
they were afraid,
9 If [Now when ' Jesus was risen

early the first day of the week, he
appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out
of whom he had cast seven devils,
10 And she went and told them
that had been with him, as they
mourned and wept,
1 1 And they, when they had heard
that he was alive, and had been seen
of her, believed not,
12 If After that he appeared in
another form unto two of them, as
they walked, and went into the
country. 13 And they went and told it un
to the residue: neither believed they
them. 14 If Afterward he appeared unto
the eleven as they sat at meat, and
upbraided them with their unbelief
and hardness of heart, because they
believed not them which had seen him
after he was risen.
15 And he said unto them. Go ye
Into all the world, and preach the
gospel to every creature.
16 He that believeth and is bap
tized shall be saved; but he that
believeth not shall be damned.
17 And these signs shall follow
them that believe ; In my name shall
they cast out devils; they shall speak
with new tongues;
18 They shall take up serpents;
and if they drink any deadly thing,
it shall not hurt them ; they shall lay
hands on the sick, and they shall re
cover. 19 If So then after the Lord had
spoken unto them, he was received
up into heaven, and sat on the right
hand of God.
20 And they went forth, and
preached every where, the Lord work
ing with them, and confirming the
word with signs following. Amen.]

THE GOSPEL
. ACCOEDING TO
SAINT LUKE.

FOEASMUCH as many have
taken in hand to set forth in
order a declaration of those things
which are most surely believed among
us, 2 Even as they delivered them
unto us, which from the beginning
were eyewitnesses, and ministers of
the word;
3 It seemed good to me also, having
had perfect understanding of all things
from the very first, to write unto thee
in order, most exceUent Theophilus,
4 That thou mightest know the
certainty of those things, wherein
thou hast been instructed.
5 1 nnHEEE was in the days of
-L Herod, the king of Judaea,
a certain priest named Zacharias, of
the course of Abia : and his wife was
of the daughters of Aaron, and her
name was Elisabeth.
6 And they were both righteous
before God, walking in all the com
mandments and ordinances of the
Lord blameless.
7 And they had no chUd, because
that Elisabeth was barren, and they
both were now well stricken in years.
8 And it came to pass, that while
he executed the priest's oflice before
God in the order of his course,
9 According to the custom of the
priest's office, his lot was to burn in
cense when he went into the temple
ofthe Lord.
10 And the whole multitude of
the people were praying without at
the time of incense.

11 And there appeared unto him
an angel of the Lord standing on the
right side of the altar of incense.
12 And when Zacharias saw him,
he was troubled, and fear fell upon
him. 13 But the angel said unto him,
Fear not, Zacharias: for thy prayer
is heard ; and thy wife Elisabeth shall
bear thee a son, and thou shalt call
his name John.
14 And thou shalt have joy and
gladness ; and many shall rejoice at
his birth.
15 For he shall be great in the
sight of the Lord, and shall drink
neither wine nor strong drink; and
he shall be filled with the Holy Ghost,
even from his mother's womb.
16 And many of the children of
Israel shall he turn to the Lord their
God. 17 And he shall go before him in
the spirit and power of Ellas, to turn
the hearts of the fathers to the
children, and the disobedient to the
wisdom of the just; to make ready
a people prepared for the Lord.
18 And Zacharias said unto the
angel, Whereby shall I know this?
for I am an old raan, and my wife well
stricken in years. ,
19 And the angel answering said
uuto hira, I am Gabriel, that stand in
the presence of God; and am sent to
speak unto thee, and to shew thee
these glad tidings.
20 And, behold, thou shalt be
dumb, and not able to speak, until
the day that these things shall be
performed, because thou believest not .

S. LUKE, L

my words, which shall be fulfilled in
their season.
21 And the people waited for
Zacharias, and marvelled that he tar
ried so long in the temple.
22 And when he came out, he
could not speak unto them : and they
perceived that he had seen a vision
In the temple : for he beckoned unto
them, and remained speechless.
23 And it came to pass, that, as
soon as the days of his ministration
were accomplished, he departed to
his own house.
24 And after those days his wife
Elisabeth conceived, and hid herself
five months, saying,
25 Thus hath the Lord dealt with
me in the days wherein he looked on
me, to take away my reproach among
men. 26 And in the sixth month the
angel Gabriel was sent from God un
to a city of Galilee, named Nazareth,
27 To a virgin espoused to a man
whose name was Joseph, of the house
of David ; and the Aargin's name was
Mary. 28 And [the angel] came in unto
her, and said. Hall, thou that art highly
favoured, the Lord is with thee:
[blessed art thou among women.]
29 And [when she saw him,] she
was troubled at [his : the] saying, and
cast in her mind what raanner of
salutation this should be.
30 And the angel said unto her,
Fear not, Mary : for thou hast found
favour with God.
31 And, behold, thou shalt con
ceive in thy worab, and bring forth a
son, and shalt call his name JESUS.
32 He shall be great, and shall be
called the Son of the Highest : and

the Lord God shall give unto him
the throne of his father David:
33 And he shall reign over the
house of Jacob for ever ; and of his
kingdom there shall be no end.
34 Then said Mary unto the angel.
How shall this be, seeing I know not
a man? 35 And the angel answered and
said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall
come upon thee, and the power of
the Highest shall overshadow thee:
therefore also that holy thing which
shall be born of thee shall be called
the Son of God.
36 And, behold, thy cousin Elisa
beth, she hath also conceived a son in
her old age : and this Is the sixth month
with her, who was called barren.
37 For with God nothing shall be
impossible. 38 And Mary said. Behold the
handmaid ofthe Lord; belt unto me
according to thy word. And the
angel departed from her.
39 And Mary arose in those days,
and went into the hill country with
haste, into a city of Juda;
40 And entered into the house of
Zacharias, and saluted Elisabeth.
41 And it came to pass, that, when
Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary,
the babe leaped in her womb; and
Elisabeth was filled with the Holy
Ghost: 42 And she spake out with a loud
voice, and said, Blessed art thou
among woraen, and blessed is the
fruit of thy womb.
43 And whence is this to me, that

the babe leaped in my womb for
joy-
45 And blessed is she that believed :
for there shall be a performance of
those things which were told her from
the Lord.
46 And Mary said. My soul doth
magnify the Lord,
47 And my spirit hath rejoiced in
God my Saviour.
48 For he hath regarded the low
estate of his handmaiden : for, behold,
from henceforth all generations shall
call me blessed.
49 For he that is mighty hath done
to rae great things ; and holy Is his
name. 50 And his mercy is on them that
fear him frora generation to genera
tion. 51 He hath shewed strength with
his arra ; he hath scattered the proud
in the iraagination of their hearts.
52 He hath put down the raighty
from their seats, and exalted them of
low degree.
53 He hath filled the hungry with
good things; and the rich he hath
sent empty away,
54 He hath holpen his servant
Israel, in remembrance of his mercy ;
55 As he spake to our fathers, to
Abraham, and to his seed for ever,
56 And Mary abode with her about
three months, and returned to her
own house,
57 Now Elisabeth's full time came
that she should be delivered; and
she brought forth a son.
58 And her neighbours and her
cousins heard how the Lord had
shewed great mercy upon her; and
they rejoiced with her,
59 And it came to pass, that on
the eighth day they came to circum
cise the child ; and they called him
Zacharias, after the name of his father.

60 And his mother answered and
said, Not so; but he shall be called
John. 61 And they said unto her, There
is none of thy kindred that Is called
by this name.
62 And they made signs to his
father, how he would have him called.
63 And he asked for a writing-
table, and wrote, saying. His name
is John. And they marvelled all.
64 And his mouth was opened im
mediately, and his tongue loosed, and
he spake, and praised God.
65 And fear came on all that dwelt
round about them : and all these say
ings were noised abroad throughout
all the hill country of Judjea.
66 And all they that heard thera
laid thera up in their hearts, saying.
What manner of child shall this be !
And the hand of the Lord was with
him. 67 And his father Zacharias was
filled with the Holy Ghost, and pro
phesied, saying,
68 Blessed be the Lord God of
Israel; for he hath visited and re
deemed his people,
69 And hath raised up an hom of
salvation for us in the house of his
servant David;
70 As he spake by the mouth of
his holy prophets, which have been
since the world began :
71 That we should be saved from
our enemies, and from the hand of
all that hate us ;
72 To perform the mercy pro
mised to our fathers, and to remember
his holy covenant;
73 The oath which he sware to
our father Abraham,
74 That he would grant unto us,
that we being delivered out of the
hand of [our] enemies might serve
him without fear.

before him, all [the days of our life:
our days].
76 And thou, child, shalt be called
the prophet of the Highest : for thou
shalt go before the face of the Lord
to prepare his ways;
77 To give knowledge of salvation
unto his people by the remission of
their sins,
78 Through the tender mercy of
our God ; whereby the dayspring from
on high hath visited us,
79 To give light to them that sit
in darkness and in the shadow of
death, to guide our feet into the way
of peace.
80 And the child grew, and waxed
strong in spirit, and was in the de
serts till the day of his shewing unto
Israel.
CHAP. IL
AND it came to pass in those days,
that there went out a decree
from Csesar Augustus, that all the
world should be taxed.
2 (And this taxing was first made
when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.)
3 And all went to be taxed, every
one into his own city.
4 And Joseph also went up frora
Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth,
into Judaea, unto the city of David,
which is called Bethlehem ; (because
he was of the house and lineage of
David:) 5 To be taxed with Mary his es
poused [wife] , being great with child.
6 And so it was, that, while they
were there, the days were accom
plished that she should be delivered.
7 And she brought forth her first
born son, and wrapped him in swad

dling clothes, and laid him in a man
ger; because there was no room for
them in the inn.
8 And there were in the same
country shepherds abiding in the
field, keeping watch over their flock
by night.
9 And, lo, the angel of the Lord
came upon them, and the glory of
the Lord shone round about them:
and they were sore afraid.
10 And the angel said unto them.
Fear not : for, behold, I bring you
good tidings of great joy, which shall
be to all people.
11 For unto you is born this day
in the city of David a Saviour, which
is Christ the Lord.
12 And this shall be a sign unto
you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped
In swaddling clothes, lying in a
manger. 13 And suddenly there was with
the angel a multitude of the heavenly
host praising God, and saying,
14 Glory to God in the highest,
and on earth peace, [good will toward
men: among men of good pleasure].
15 And it came to pass, as the
angels were gone away frora thera
into heaven, the shepherds said one
to another, Let us now go even unto
Bethlehem, and see this thing which
is corae to pass, which the Lord hath
made known unto us.
16 And they came with haste, and
found Mary, and Joseph, and the
babe lying in a manger.
1 7 And when they had seen it, they
made known abroad the saying which
was told them concerning this child.
18 And all they that heard it
wondered at those things which were
told them by the shepherds.

19 But Mary kept all these things,
and pondered them in her heart.
20 And the shepherds returned,
glorifying and praising God for iall
the things that they had heard and
seen, as it was told unto them.
21 And when eight days were ac
complished for the circumcising of
[the child: him], his name was called
JESUS, which was so named of the
angel before he was conceived in the
womb. 22 And when the days of her
purification according to the law of
Moses were accomplished, they brought
him to Jerusalem, to present him to
the Lord;
23 (As it is written In the law of
the Lord, Every male that openeth
the womb shall be called holy to the
Lord;) 24 And to offer a sacrifice accord
ing to that which is said in the law
of the Lord, A pair of turtledoves, or
two young pigeons.
25 And, behold, there was a man
in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon ;
and the same man was just and devout,
waiting for the consolation of Israel :
and the Holy Ghost was upon him.
26 And it was revealed unto him
by the Holy Ghost, that he should
not see death, before he had seen the
Lord's Christ.
27 And he came by the Spirit
into the temple: and when the
parents brought in the child Jesus,
to do for him after the custom of the
law, 28 Then took he him up in his
arms, and blessed God, and said,
29 Lord, now lettest thou thy

servant depart in peace, according to
thy word:
30 For mine eyes have seen thy
salvation, 31 Which thou hast prepared be
fore the face of all people ;
_ 32 A light to lighten the Gen
tiles, and the glory of thy people
Israel, 33 And [Joseph: his father] and
his mother marvelled at those things
which were spoken of him.
34 And Simeon blessed them, and
said unto Mary his mother. Behold,
this child is set for the fall and rising
again of many in Israel; and for a
sign which shall be spoken against;
35 (Yea, a sword shall pierce
through thy own soul also,) that the
thoughts of many hearts may be re
vealed. 36 And there was one Anna, a
prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel,
of the tribe of Aser: she was of a
great age, and had lived with an hus
band seven years from her virginity ;
37 And she was a widow of [about:
as much as] fourscore and four years,
which departed not from the temple,
but served God with fastings and
prayers night and day.
38 And she coming in that instant
gave thanks likewise unto the Lord,
and spake of him to all them that
looked for redemption [In: of] Jeru
salem, 39 And when they had performed
all things according to the law of the
Lord", they returned into Galilee, to
their own city Nazareth.
40 And the child grew, and waxed
strong [in spirit] , filled with wisdom :

him. 41 Now his parents went to Jeru
salem every year at the feast of the
passover. 42 And when he was twelve years
old, they went up [to Jerusalem] after
the custom of the feast.
43 And when they had fulfilled
the days, as they returned, the child
Jesus tarried behind in Jerusalem;
and [Joseph and his mother : his
parents] knew not of it.
44 But they, supposing him to have
been in the company, went a day's
journey ; and they sought him among
their kinsfolk and acquaintance.
45 And when they found him not,
they turned back again to Jerusalem,
seeking hira.
46 And it came to pass, that after
three days they found him in the
.temple, sitting in the raidst of the
doctors, both hearing thera, and ask
ing them questions.
47 And all that heard him were
astonished at his understanding and
answers. 48 And when they saw him, they
were amazed: and his mother said
unto him. Son, why hast thou thus
dealt with us ? behold, thy father and
I have sought thee sorrowing.
49 And he said unto them, How
is it that ye sought me? wist ye not
that I must be about my Father's
business ?
50 And they understood not the
saying which he spake unto them.
51 And he went down with them,
and came to Nazareth, and was sub
ject unto them : but his mother kept
all these sayings in her heart.
52 And Jesus increased in wisdom

and stature, and in favour with God
and man. CHAP. IIL
lyrOW in the fifteenth year of the
-i-l reign of Tiberius Csesar, Pontius
Pilate being governor of Judaea, and
Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and
his brother Philip tetrarch of Ituraea
and of the region of Trachonitis, and
Lysanlas the tetrarch of Abilene,
2 Annas and Caiaphas being the
high priests, the word of God carae
unto John the son of Zacharias in the
wilderness. 3 And he came into all the coun

tism of repentance for the remission
of sins ;

the words of Esaias the prophet, [say
ing,] The voice of one crying In the
wilderness. Prepare ye the way of the

5 Every valley shall be filled, and
every mountain and hill shall be
brought low ; and the crooked shall
be made straight, and the rough ways
shall be made smooth;
6 And all flesh shall see the sal
vation of God.
7 Then said he to the multitude
that came forth to be baptized of him,
0 generation of vipers, who hath
warned you to flee from the wrath to
come? 8 Bring forth therefore fruits wor

to raise up children unto Abraham.

10 And the people asked him, say
ing, What shall we do then?
11 He answereth and saith unto
them. He that hath two coats, let him
impart to him that hath none ; and he
that hath meat, let him do likewise.
12 Then came also publicans to be
baptized, and said unto him, Master,
what shall we do?
13 And he said unto them, Exact
no more than that which is appointed
you. 14 And the soldiers likewise de
manded of him, saying. And what
shall we do ? And he said unto thera.
Do violence to no man, neither accuse
any falsely ; and be content with your
wages. 15 And as the people were in
expectation, and all men mused in
their hearts of John, whether he were
the Christ, or not ;
16 John answered, saying unto
them all, I indeed baptize you with
water; but one mightier than I com
eth, the latchet of whose shoes I am
not worthy to unloose : he shall bap
tize you with the Holy Ghost and
with fire :
17 Whose fan is in his hand, and
he will throughly purge his floor, and
will gather the wheat into his garner ;
but the chafi" he wiU burn with fire
unquenchable. 18 And raany other things in his
exhortation preached he unto the
people. 19 But Herod the tetrarch, being
reproved by him for Herodias his
brother [Philip's] wife, and for all
the evils which Herod had done,
20 Added yet this above all, that
he shut up John in prison.
21 Now when all the people were

baptized, it came to pass, that Jesus
also being baptized, and praying, the
heaven was opened,
22 And the Holy Ghost descended
in a bodily shape like a dove upon
him, and a voice came from heaven,
which said. Thou art my beloved
Son ; in thee I am well pleased.

all the temptation, he departed from

where he had been brought up : and,
as his custom was, he went into the
synagogue on the sabbath day, and
stood up for to read.
17 And there was delivered unto
him the book of the prophet Esaias.
And when he had opened the book,
he found the place where it was
written, 18 The Spirit of the Lord is upon
me, because he hath anointed me to
preach the gospel to the poor; he
hath sent me [to heal the broken
hearted,] to preach deliverance to the
captives, and recovering of sight to
the blind, to set at liberty them that
are bruised,
19 To preach the acceptable year
ofthe Lord.
20 And he closed the book, and
he gave it again to the minister, and
sat down. And the eyes of all them
that were in the synagogue were
fastened on hira.
21 And he began to say unto
them, This day is this scripture ful
filled in your ears.
22 And all bare him witness, and
wondered at the gracious words which

proceeded out of his mouth. And
they said. Is not this Joseph's son?
23 And he said unto them. Ye
will surely say unto me this proverb,
Physician, heal thyself : whatsoever
we have heard done in Capernaum,
do also here in thy country.
24 And he said. Verily I say unto
you. No prophet Is accepted In his
own country.
25 But I tell you of a truth, raany
widows were in Israel in the days of
Elias, when the heaven was shut up
three years and six months, when
great famine was throughout all the
land; 26 But unto none of them was
Elias sent, save unto Sarepta, a city
of Sidon, unto a woman that was a
widow. 27 And many lepers were in
Israel in the time of Eliseus the pro
phet; and none of them was cleansed,
saving Naaman the Syrian.

when they heard these things, were
filled with wrath,

out of the city, and led him unto the
brow of the hill whereon their city
was built, that they might cast him
down headlong.

thrown him in the midst, he came
out of him, and hurt him not.

spake among theraselves, saying.

into every place of the country round
about. 38 If And he arose out of the
synagogue, and entered into Simon's
house. And Simon's wife's mother
was taken with a great fever; and
they besought him for her.

rebuked the fever; and it left her:

many, crying out, and saying, Thou

ships, which was Simon's, and prayed
him that he would thrust out a little

ship. 4 Now when he had left speaking,
he said unto Simon, Launch out into
the deep, and let down your nets for
a draught. 5 And Simon answering said unto
hira. Master, we have toiled all the
night, and have taken nothing:
nevertheless at thy word I will let
down the net.
6 And when they had this done,
they inclosed a great multitude of
fishes: and their net brake.

partners, which were in the other
ship, that they should come and help
them. And they came, and filled
both the ships, so that they began to
sink. 8 When Simon Peter saw it, he

make me clean.
13 And he put forth his hand, and
touched him, saying, I will: be thou
clean. And immediately the leprosy
departed from him.
14 And he charged him to tell no
man: but go, and shew thyself to
the priest, and oflfer for thy cleansing,
according as Moses commanded, for
a testimony unto them.
15 But so much the more went
there a fame abroad of hira : and
great raultitudes came together to
hear, and to be healed [by him] of
their infirmities.
16 If And he withdrew hiraself
into the wilderness, and prayed.
17 And it came to pass on a cer
tain day, as he was teaching, that
there were Pharisees and doctors of
the law sitting by, which were come
out of every town of Galilee, and
Judaea, and Jerusalem : and the power
of the Lord was present to heal them.
18 If And, behold, men brought
in a bed a raan which was taken with
a palsy: and they sought means to
bring him in, and to lay him before
him. 19 And when they could not find
by what way they might bring him in
because of the multitude, they went
upon the housetop, and let hira down
through the tiling with his couch
into the midst before Jesus.
20 And when he saw their faith,
he said [unto him], Man, thy sins
are forgiven thee.
21 And the scribes and the Phari
sees began to reason, saying, Who is
this which speaketh blasphemies?
Who can forgive sins, but God alone ?
22 But when Jesus perceived their

thoughts, he answering said unto
them, What reason ye in your hearts?
23 Whether is easier, to say, Thy
sins be forgiven thee; or to say.
Else up and walk?
24 But that ye may know that
the Son of man hath power upon
earth to forgive sins, (he said unto
the sick of the palsy,) I say unto thee.
Arise, and take up thy couch, and
go into thine house.
25 And immediately he rose up
before them, and took up that where
on he lay, and departed to his own
house, glorifying God.
26 And they were all araazed, and
they glorified God, and were filled
with fear, saying. We have seen
strange things to day.
27 If And after these things he
went forth, and saw a publican,
naraed Levi, sitting at the receipt
of custom: and he said unto him.
Follow me.
28 And he left all, rose up, and
followed him.
29 And Levi made him a great
feast in his own house: and there
was a great company of publicans
and of others that sat down with
them. 30 But their scribes and Pharisees
murmured against his disciples, say
ing. Why do ye eat and drink with
publicans [and sinners] ?
31 And Jesus answering said unto
them. They that are whole need not
a physician ; but they that are sick.
32 I came not to call the righteous,
but sinners to repentance.
33 If And they said unto him,
[Why do] the disciples of John fast
often, and make prayers, and likewise
the disciples of the Pharisees; but
thine eat and drink?

that was taken out of the new agreeth

AND it came to pass on [the
second sabbath after the first:
a sabbath], that he went through the
corn fields; and his disciples plucked
the ears of corn, and did eat, rubbing
them in their hands.

2 And certain of the Pharisees
said [unto them], Why do ye that
which. is not lawful [to do] on the
sabbath days?
3 And Jesus answering them said.
Have ye not read so much as this,
what David did, when himself was
an hungred, and they which were
with him ;
4 How he went into the house of
God, and did take and eat the shew
bread, and gave [also] to them that
were with him ; which it is not lawful
to eat but for the priests alone?
5 And he said unto thera. That the
Son of raan is Lord also of the sabbath.
6 And it came to pass [also] on
another sabbath, that he entered into
the synagogue and taught : and there
was a man whose right hand was
withered. 7 And the scribes and Pharisees
watched [him], whether he would
heal on the sabbath day; that they
might find an accusation against him.
8 But he knew their thoughts,
and said to the man which had the
withered hand. Rise up, and stand
forth in the midst. And he arose
and stood forth.
9 Then said Jesus unto them, I
will ask you one thing; Is it lawful
on the sabbath days to do good, or
to do evil? to save life, or to destroy it?

10 And looking roundabout upon
them all, he said unto the man. Stretch
forth thy hand. And he did so : and
his hand was restored [whole] [as
the other].
11 And they were filled with
madness; and communed one with
another what they might do to Jesus.
12 And it came to pass in those
days, that he went out into a moun
tain to pray, and continued all night
in prayer to God.
13 If And when it was day, he
called unto him his disciples : and of
thera he chose twelve, whora also he
naraed apostles ;
14 Simon, (whom he also named
Peter,) and Andrew his brother,
James and John, Philip and Bartho
lomew, 15 Matthew and Thomas, James
the son of Alphaeus, and Simon called
Zelotes, 16 And Judas the brother of
James, and Judas Iscariot, which
[also] was the traitor.
17 If And he came down with
them, and stood in the plain, and the
company of his disciples, and a great
multitude of people out of all Judsa
and Jerusalem, and from the sea coast
of Tyre and Sidon, which came to
hear him, and to be healed of their
diseases ;
18 And they that were vexed
with unclean spirits [: and they]
were healed.
19 And the whole multitude sought
to touch him: for there went virtue
out of him, and healed them all.
20 If And he lifted up his eyes on
his disciples, and said. Blessed be ye
poor: for your's is the kipgdom of
God.

21 Blessed are ye that hunger
now : for ye shall be filled. Blessed
are ye that weep now: for ye shall
laugh, 22 Blessed are ye, when men shall
hate you, and when they shall sepa
rate you from their company, and
shall reproach you, and cast out your
name as evil, for the Son of man's
sake. 23 Eejolce ye in that day, and
leap for joy : for, behold, your reward
is great in heaven : for in the like
manner did their fathers unto the
prophets, 24 But woe unto you that are
rich ! for ye have received your con
solation. 25 Woe unto you that are full!
for ye shall hunger. Woe unto you
that laugh now ! for ye shall mourn
and weep,
26 Woe unto you, when all men
shall speak well of you ! for so did
their fathers to the false prophets,
27 If But I say unto you which
hear. Love your enemies, do good to
them which hate you,
28 Bless them that curse you,
[and] pray for them which despite
fully use you,
29 And unto hira that smiteth
thee on the one cheek oflTer also the

30 Give to every man that asketh
of thee ; and of him that taketh away
thy goods ask them not again,
31 And as ye would that men
should do to you, do ye also to them
likewise, 32 For if ye love them which love
you, what thank have ye? for sinners-

33 And if ye do good to them
which do good to you, what thank
have ye? for sinners also do even the
same. 34 And if ye lend to them of
whom ye hope to receive, what thank
have ye ? [for] sinners also lend to
sinners, to receive as much again.
35 But love ye your enemies, and
do good, and lend, hoping for nothing
again ; and your reward shall be
great, and ye shall be the children of
the Highest : for he is kind unto the
unthankful and to the evil.
36 Be ye [therefore] merciful, as
your Father also is merciful.
37 Judge not, and ye shall not be
judged: conderan not, and ye shall
not be condemned : forgive, and ye
shall be forgiven :
38 Give, and it shall be given unto
you; good measure, pressed down,
and shaken together, and running
over, shall men give into your bosom.
For with the same measure that ye
mete withal it shall be measured to
you again.
39 And he spake a parable unto
them. Can the blind lead the blind?
shall they not both fall into the
ditch? 40 The disciple is not above his
raaster : but every one that is perfect
shall be as his raaster.
41 And why beholdest thou the
mote that is in thy brother's eye, but
perceivest not the beam that is in
thine own eye?
42 [Either] how canst thou say
to thy brother, Brother, let rae pull
out the mote that is in thine eye, [

when thou thyself beholdest not the
beam that is in thine own eye ? Thou
hypocrite, cast out first the beara out
of thine own eye, and then shalt thou
see clearly to pull out the mote that
is in thy brother's eye.
43 For a good tree bringeth not
forth corrupt fruit; neither [again,]
doth a corrupt tree bring forth good
fruit. 44 For every tree is known by his
own fruit. For of thorns men do not
gather figs, nor of a bramble bush
gather they grapes.
45 A good man out of the good
treasure of his heart bringeth forth
that which is good ; and an evil [man]
out of the evil [treasure of his heartj
bringeth forth that which is evil : for
of the abundance of the heart his
mouth speaketh.
46 If And why call ye me, Lord,
Lord, and do not the things which I
say? 47 Whosoever cometh to me, and
heareth my sayings, and doeth them,
I will shew you to whora he is like:
48 He is like a man which built
an house, and digged deep, and laid
the foundation on a rock : and when
the fiood arose, the stream beat vehe
mently upon that house, and could
not shake it: [for it was founded upon
a rock : through its being well built].
49 But he that heareth, and doeth
not, is like a man that without a
foundation built an house upon the
earth; against which the stream did
beat vehemently, and immediately it
fell; and the ruin of that house was
great.

IVrOW when he had ended all his
-Ll sayings in the audience of the
people, he entered into Capernaum.
2 And a certain centurion's ser
vant, who was dear unto him, was
sick, and ready to die,
3 And when he heard of Jesus,
he sent unto him the elders of the
Jews, beseeching him that he would
come and heal his servant.
4 And when they came to Jesus,
they besought him instantly, saying.
That he was worthy for whom he
should do this:
5 For he loveth our nation, and he
hath built us a synagogue.
6 Then Jesus went with them.
And when he was now not far from

trouble not thyself : for I am not

eth ; and to ray servant, Do this, and

1 1 If And it came to pass the day
after, that he went into a city called
Nain ; and many of his disciples went
with him, and rauch people.
12 Now when he came nigh to
the gate of the city, behold, there
was a dead raan carried out, the only
son of his mother, and she was a
widow : and much people of the city
was with her.
13 And when the Lord saw her, he
had compassion on her, and said unto
her, Weep not.
14 And he came and touched the
bier : and they that bare him stood
still. And he said. Young man, I
say unto thee. Arise.
15 And he that was dead sat up,
and began to speak. And he deliver
ed hira to his mother.
16 And there came a fear on all:
and they glorified God, saying. That
a great prophet is risen up among
us; and. That God hath visited his
people. 17 And this rumour of him went
forth throughout all Judaaa, and
throughout all the region round about.
18 And the disciples of John
shewed him of all these things.
19 If And John calling unto him
two of his disciples sent them to
[Jesus: the Lord], sa.ying. Art thou
he that should come? or look Ave for
another? 20 When the men were come unto
him, they said, John Baptist hath
sent us unto thee, saying. Art thou
he that should come? or look we for
another? 21 [And] in that same hour he
cured many of their infirmities and
plagues, and of evil spirits; and unto
many that were blind he gave sight.

S. LUKE, VIL

22 Then [Jesus] answering said
unto them. Go your way, and tell
John what things ye have seen and
heard; how that the blind see, the
lame walk, the lepers are cleansed,
the deaf hear, the dead are raised, to
the poor the gospel is preached.
23 And blessed is he, whosoever
shall not be offended in rae.
24 If And when the raessengers
of John were departed, he began to
speak unto the people concerning
John, What went ye out into the
wilderness for to see? A reed shaken
with the wind?
25 But what went ye out for to
see? A raan clothed in soft rairaent?
Behold, they which are gorgeously
apparelled, and live delicately, are in
kings' courts.
26 But what went ye out for to
see? A prophet? Yea, I say unto you,
and much more than a prophet.
27 This is he, of whom it is writ
ten. Behold, I send my messenger
before thy face, which shall prepare
thy way before thee.
28 For I say unto you. Among
those that are born of women there
is not a greater [prophet] than John
[the Baptist] : but he that is least
in the kingdom of God is greater
than he.
29 And all the people that heard
him, and the publicans, justified God,
being baptized with the baptism of
John. 30 But the Pharisees and lawyers
rejected the counsel of God against
theraselves, being not baptized of
him. 31 If [And the Lord said,] Where
unto then shall I liken the men of

this generation? and to what are they
like? 32 They are like unto children
sitting in the marketplace, and calling
one to another, and saying, We have
piped unto you, and ye have not
danced; we have mourned to you,
and ye have not wept.
33 For John the Baptist came nei
ther eating bread nor drinking wine ;
and ye say. He hath a devil.
34 The Son of man is corae eating
and drinking; and ye say, Behold a
gluttonous raan, and a winebibber, a
friend of publicans and sinners !
35 But wisdom is justified of all
her children.
36 If And one of the Pharisees
desired him that he would eat with
hira. And he went into the Phari
see's house, and sat down to raeat.
37 And, behold, a woman in the
city, which was a sinner, when she
knew that Jesus sat at meat in the
Pharisee's house, brought an alabaster
box of ointment,
38 And stood at his feet behind
him weeping, and began to wash his
feet with tears, and did wipe them
with the hairs of her head, and kissed
his feet, and anointed them with the
ointment. 39 Now when the Pharisee which
had bidden him saw it, he spake
within himself, saying, This man, if
he were a prophet, would have known
who and what manner of woman this
is that toiicheth him: for she is a

sinner.

him, SIraon, I have somewhat to say

43 Simon answered and said, I

and sprang up, and bare fruit an hun
dredfold. And when he had said
these things, he cried. He that hath
ears to hear, let hira hear.
9 And his disciples asked him,
[saying,] What might this parable
be? 10 And he said, Unto you it is
given to know the mysteries of the
kingdom of God: but to others in
parables ; that seeing they might not
see, and hearing they might not un
derstand. 1 1 Now the parable is this : The
seed is the word of God.

be saved.
13 They on the rock are they,
which, when they hear, receive the
word with joy; and these have no
root, which for a while believe, and
in time of temptation fall away.
14 And that which fell among
thorns are they, which, when they
have heard, go forth, and are choked
with cares and riches and pleasures
of this life, and bring no fruit to per
fection. 15 But that on the good ground
are they, which in an honest and
good heart, having heard the word,
keep it, and bring forth fruit with
patience. 16 If No raan, when he hath light
ed a candle, covereth it with a vessel,
or putteth it under a bed ; but setteth
it on a candlestick, that they which
enter In may see the light.
17 For nothing is secret, that

18 Take heed therefore how ye

19 If Then came to him his mother
and his brethren, and could not corae

20 And it was told him [by cer

22 If Now it came to pass on a
certain day, that he went into a ship
with his disciples: and he said unto
them, Let us go over unto the other
side of the lake. And they launched
forth, 23 But as they sailed he fell
asleep: and there carae down a
storm of wind on the lake ; and they
were filled with water, and were in
jeopardy. 24 And they carae to him, and
awoke him, saying, Master, master,
we perish. Then he arose, and re
buked the wind and the raging of the
water: and they ceased, and there
was a calm.
25 And he said unto them. Where
is your faith ? And they being afraid
wondered, saying one to another,
What raanner of raan is this ! for he
commandeth even the winds and
water, and they obey him,
26 If And they arrived at the
country of the [Gadarenes: Gerasenes],
which is over against Galilee.

land, there met him out of the city a
certain man, which had devils long
time, and ware no clothes, neither
abode in any house, but in the tombs,
28 When he saw Jesus, he cried
out, and fell down before him, and
with a loud voice said, What have I
to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of

29 (For he had commanded the
unclean spirit to come out of the man.
For oftentimes it had caught him:
and he was kept bound with chains
and in fetters ; and he brake the bands,
and was driven of the devil into the
wilderness.) .

What is thy name? And he said,
Legion: because many devils were
entered into him.
31 And they besought him that
he would not command them to go
out into the deep.
32 And there was there an herd
of many swine feeding on the moun
tain : and they besought him that he
would sufier them to enter into them.
And he suflfered them.
33 Then went the devils out of the
man, and entered into the swine : and
the herd ran violently down a steep
place into the lake, and were choked.
34 When they that fed them saw
what was done, they 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 which saw it told
them by what means he that was
possessed of the devils was healed,
37 If 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 up into the ship,
and returned back again,
38 Now the raan out of whom the
devils were departed besought him
that he might be with hira: but
[Jesus] sent him away, saying,
39 Eeturn to thine own house,
and shew how great things God hath
done unto thee. And he went his
way, and published throughout the
whole city how great things Jesus
had done unto hira.

40 And it came to pass, that, when
Jesus was returned, the people gladly
received him : for they were all wait

ing

for him.

41 If And, behold, there came a
man named Jairus, and he was a ruler
of the synagogue : and he fell down
at Jesus' feet, and besought him that
he would come into his house :
42 For he had one only daughter,
about twelve years of age, and she
lay a dying. But as he went the
people thronged him.
43 If And a woman having an
issue of blood twelve years, which had
spent all her living upon physicians,
neither could be healed of any,
44 Came behind him, and touched
the border of his garment : and im
mediately 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. Somebody
hath touched me : for I perceive that
virtue Is gone out of me.
47 ' And when the woman saw that
she was not hid, she came trembling,
and falling down before him, she
declared unto him before all the peo
ple for what cause she had touched
hira, and how she was healed irame-
diately. 48 And he said unto her, Daughter,
[be of good comfort :] thy faith hath
made thee whole ; go in peace.
49 If While he yet spake, there
coraeth one from the ruler of the
synagogue's house, saying to him,
Thy daughter is dead; trouble not
the Master.

50 But when Jesus heard it, he
answered him, [saying,] Fear not :
believe only, and she shall be made
whole, 51 And when he came Into the
house, he sufiered no man to go In,
save Peter, and James, and John,
and the father and the 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]
took her by the hand, and called,
saying, Maid, arise,
55 And her spirit carae again, and
she arose straightway: and he com
manded to give her meat,
56 And her parents were astonish
ed: but he charged them that they
should tell no man what was done.
CHAP. IX.
THEN he called [his twelve dis
ciples: the twelve] together, and
gave them power and authority over
all devils, and to cure diseases.
2 And he sent them to preach the
kingdom of God, and to heal [the sick] .
3 And he said unto them. Take
nothing for your journey, neither
staves, nor scrip, neither bread, nei
ther money ; neither have two coats
apiece. 4 And whatsoever house ye enter
into, there abide, and thence depart.
5 And whosoever will not receive
you, when ye go out of that city,
shake off the very dust from your
feet for a testimony against thera.

6 And they departed, and went
through the towns, preaching the
gospel, and healing every where.
7 If Now Herod the tetrarch heard
of all that was done [by him] : and
he was perplexed, because that it was
said of some, that John was risen
from the dead ;
8 And of sorae, that Elias had
appeared; and of others, that one of
the old prophets was risen again,
9 And Herod said, John have I
beheaded : but who is this, of whom
I hear such things? And he desired
to see him.
10 If And the apostles, when they
were returned, told him all that they
had done. And he took them, and
went aside privately [into a desert
place belonging to the : to a] city
called Bethsaida,
11 And the people, when they
knew it, followed him: and he re
ceived thera, and spake unto them of
the kingdom of" God, and healed
them that had need of healing,
12 And when the day began to
wear away, then came the twelve,
and said unto him. Send the multi
tude away, that they may go into the
towns and country round about, and
lodge, and get victuals: for we are
here in a desert place,
13 But he said unto them, Give
ye them to eat. And they said, We
have no more but five loaves and two
fishes ; except we should go and buy
meat for all this people.
14 For they were about five thou
sand men. And he said to his dis
ciples, Make them sit down by fifties
in a company.

S. LUKE, IX.

15 And they did so, and made
them all sit down.
16 Then he took the five loaves
and the two fishes ; and looking up. to
heaven, he blessed them, and brake,
and gave to the disciples to set before
the multitude.
17 And they did eat, and were all
filled : and there was taken up of frag
ments that remained to them twelve
baskets. 18 If And it came to pass, as he
was alone praying, his disciples were
with him: and he asked them, saying,
Whora say the people that I ara?
19 They answering said, John the
Baptist; but some say, Elias; and
others say, that one of the old pro
phets is risen again.
20 He said unto them, But whom
say ye that I ara? Peter answering
said, the Christ of God.
21 And he straitly charged them,
and commanded them to tell no raan
that thing;
22 Saying, the Son of raan must
suffer many things, and be rejected
of the elders and chief priests and
scribes, and be slain, and be raised
the third day.
23 If And he said to them all. If
any man will come after me, let hira
deny hiraself, and take up his cross
daily, and follow me.
24 For whosoever will save his life
shall lose it : but whosoever will lose
his life for my sake, the same shall
save it.
25 For what is a raan advantaged,
if he gain the whole world, and lose
himself, or be cast away?
26 Forwhosoever shall be ashamed
of me and of my words, of him shall
the Son of man be ashamed, when
he shall come in his own glory, and
in his Father's, and of the holy
angels.

27 But I tell you of a truth, there
be some standing here, which shall
not taste of death, till they see the
kingdom of God.
28 If And it came to pass about
an eight days after these sayings, he
took Peter and John and James, and
went up into a mountain to pray.
29 And as he prayed, the fashion
of his countenance was altered, and
his raiment was white and glistering.
30 And, behold, there talked with
him two men, which were Moses and
Ellas :
31 Who appeared in glory, and
spake of his decease which he should
accomplish at Jerusalem.
32 But Peter and they that were
with hira were heavy with sleep:
and when they were awake, they saw
his glory, and the two men that stood
with him.
33 And it came to pass, as they
departed from him, Peter said unto
Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be
here: and let us make three taber
nacles ; one for thee, and one for
Moses, and one for Elias: not know
ing what he said.
34 While he thus spake, there
came a cloud, and overshadowed
thera : and they feared as they enter
ed into the cloud.
35 And there came a voice out of
the cloud, saying. This is my [be
loved: chosen] Son: hear him.
36 And when the voice was past,
Jesus was found alone. And they
kept it close, and told no man in,
those days any of those things which
they had seen.
37 If And it came to pass, that on
the next day, when they were corae
down from the hill, rauch people met
him. 38 And, behold, a man of the com
pany cried out, saying. Master, I

beseech thee, look upon my son: for
he is mine only child.
39 And, lo, a spirit taketh him,
and he suddenly crieth out; and it
teareth him that he foameth again,
and bruising him hardly departeth
from him.
40 And I besought thy disciples
to cast him out ; and they could not.
41 And Jesus answering said, 0
faithless and perverse generation, how
long shall I be with you, and suffer
you ? Bring thy son hither.
42 And as he was yet a coming,
the devil threw him down, and tare
him. And Jesus rebuked the un
clean spirit, and healed the child, and
delivered hira again to his father.
43 If And they were all amazed
at the mighty power of God, But
while they wondered every one at all
things which [Jesus] did, he said
unto his disciples,
44 Let these sayings sink down
into your ears: for the Son of raan
shall be delivered Into the hands of
men. 45 But they understood not this
saying, and it was hid from them,
that they perceived It not : and they
feared to ask him of that saying.
46 If Then there arose a reasoning
araong them, which of them should
be greatest.
47 And Jesus, perceiving the
thought of their heart, took a child,
and set him by him,
48 And said unto them. Whoso
ever shall receive this child in my
name receiveth me: and whosoever
shall receive me, receiveth him that

sent me : for he that is least among
you all, the same shall be great.
49 If And John answered and
said, Master, we saw one casting out
devils in thy name ; and we forbad
him , because he followeth not with us.
50 And Jesus said unto him. For
bid him not : for he that is not against
[us: you] is for [us: you].
51 If And it came to pass, when
the time was come that he should be
received up, he stedfastly set his face
to go to Jerusalem,
52 And sent messengers before his
face : and they went, and entered into
a village of the Samaritans, to make
ready for him.
53 And they did not receive him,
because his face was as though he
would go to Jerusalem.
54 And when his disciples James
and John saw this, they said. Lord,
wilt thou that we command fire to
come down from heaven, and consume
them, [even as Ellas did] ?
55 But he turned, and rebuked
them, [and said. Ye know not what
manner of spirit ye are of.
56 For the Son of man is not
come to destroy men's lives, but to
save them.] And they went to an
other village.
57 If And it carae to pass, that,
as they went in the way, a certain
man said unto him, [Lord,] I will
follow thee whithersoever thou goest.
58 And [Jesus] said unto him.
Foxes have holes, and birds of the
air have nests; but the Son of man
hath not where to lay his head.
59 And he said unto another.

dead bury their dead: but go thou
and preach the kingdom of God.
61 And another also said. Lord, I
will follow thee ; but let me first go
bid them farewell, which are at home
at my house.

man, having put his hand to the
plough, and looking back, is fit for

CHAP. X.
AFTEE these things the Lord
appointed other seventy also,
and sent them two and two before
his face into every city and place,
whither he himself would come.
2 [Therefore: And] said he unto
them. The harvest truly is great, but
the labourers are few : pray ye there
fore the Lord of the harvest, that he
would send forth labourers into his
harvest. 3 Go your ways : behold, I send
you forth as larabs among wolves.
4 Carry neither purse, nor scrip,
nor shoes : and salute no man by the
way. 5 And into whatsoever house ye
enter, first say, Peace be to this
house. 6 And if the son of peace be there,
your peace shall rest upon it : if not,
it shall turn to you again.
7 And in the same house remain,
eating and drinking such things as
they give: for the labourer is wor
thy of his hire. Go not from house
to house.

8 And into whatsoever city ye
enter, and they receive you, eat such
things as are set before you :
9 And heal the sick that are therein,
and say unto them. The kingdom of
God is come nigh unto you.
10 But Into whatsoever city yo
enter, and they receive you not, go
your ways out into the streets of the
same, and say,
11 Even the very dust of your
city, which cleaveth on us [to our
feet], we do wipe off against you:
notwithstanding be ye sure of this,
that the kingdom of God is come nigh
[unto you].
12 [But] I say unto you, that it
shall be more tolerable in that day for
Sodom, than for that city.
13 Woe unto thee, Chorazln ! woe
unto thee, " Bethsaida ! for if the
mighty works had been done in Tyre
and SIdon, which have been done in
you, they had a great while ago re
pented, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.
14 But it shall be more tolerable
for Tyre and SIdon at the judgment,
than for you.
15 And thou, Capernaum, [which
art : shalt thou be] exalted to heaven,
shalt be thrust down to hell.
16 He that heareth you heareth
me; and he that despiseth you de
spiseth me ; and he that despiseth me
despiseth him that sent rae.
17 If And the seventy returned
again with joy, saying. Lord, even
the devils are subject unto us through
thy narae.

beheld Satan as lightning fall from
heaven.

19 Behold, I give unto you power
to tread on serpents and scorpions,
and over all the power of the enemy :
and nothing shall by any means hurt
you. 20 Notwithstanding in this rejoice
not, that the spirits are subject unto
you; but [rather] rejoice, because
your names are written in heaven.
21 If In that hour [Jesus] rejoiced
in spirit, and said, I thank thee, 0
Father, Lord of heaven and earth,
that thou hast hid these things from
the wise and prudent, and hast re
vealed them unto babes: even so,
Father; for so it seemed good in thy
sight. 22 All things are delivered to me
of my Father: and no man knoweth
who the Son is, but the Father; and
who the Father is, but the Son, and
he to whom the Son will reveal him,
23 If And he turned him unto his
disciples, and said privately, Blessed
are the eyes which see the things that
ye see:
24 For I tell you, that many pro
phets and kings have desired to see
those things which ye see, and have
not seen them; and to hear those
things which ye hear, and have not
heard them,
25 If And, behold, a certain lawyer
stood up, and tempted him, saying,
Master, what shall I do to Inherit
eternal life?
26 He said unto him. What is
written in the law? how readest
thou? 27 And he answering said. Thou
shalt love the Lord thy God with all
thy heart, and with all thy soul, and
with all thy strength, and with all

thy mind; and thy neighbour as
thyself, 28 And he said unto him. Thou
hast answered right : this do, and
thou shalt live.
29 But he, willing to justify him
self, said unto Jesus, And who is my
neighbour? 30 And Jesus answering said, A
certain man went down from Jerusa
lem to Jericho, and fell among thieves,
which stripped him of his raiment,
and wounded him, and departed,
leaving him half dead.
31 And by chance there came
down a certain priest that way: and
when he saw him, he passed by on
the other side.
32 And likewise a Levite, when
he was at the place, came and looked
on him, and passed by on the other side.
33 But a certain Samaritan, as he
journeyed, came where he was: and
when he saw him, he had compassion
on him,
34 And went to hira, and |bound
up his wounds, pouring in oil and
wine, and set him on his own beast,
and brought him to an inn, and took
care of him.
35 And on the morrow [when he
departed,] he took out two pence,
and gave them to the host, and said
[unto him], Take care of him; and
whatsoever thou spendest more, when
I corae again, I will repay thee.
36 Which [now] of these three,
thinkest thou, was neighbour unto
hira that fell among the thieves?
37 And he said, He that shewed
mercy on him. [Then: And] said.
Jesus unto him, Go, and do thou
likewise.

38 If Now it, came to pass, as they
went, that he entered into a certain
village : and a certain woman named
Martha received him into her house.
39 And she had a sister called
Mary, which also sat at [Jesus': the
Lord's] feet, and heard his word.
40 But Martha was cumbered
about much serving, and came to
him, and said, Lord, dost thou not
care that my sister hath left me to
serve alone? bid her therefore that
she help me.
41 And I Jesus: i/te Zorc^[ answered
and said unto her, Martha, Martha,
thou art careful and troubled about
many things:
42 But one thing is needful: and
Mary hath chosen that good part,
which shall not be taken away from
her.
CHAP. XI.
AND it came to pass, that, as he
was praying in a certain place,
when he ceased, one of his disciples
said unto him, Lord, teach us to
pray, as John also taught his dis
ciples. 2 And he said unto them. When
ye pray, say, [Our] Father [which
art in heaven], Hallowed be thy
name. Thy kingdom come. [Thy
will be done, as in heaven, so in
earth.] 3 Give us day by day our daily
bread. 4 And forgive us our sins; for we
also forgive every one that is indebt
ed to us. And lead us not into
temptation ; [but deliver us from
evil.]

5 And he said unto them, Which
of you shall have a friend, and shall
go unto him at midnight, and say
unto him. Friend, lend me three
loaves; 6 For a friend of mine in his
journey Is dbme to me, and I have
nothing to set before him?
7 And he from within shall answer
and say. Trouble me not: the door
is now shut, and my children are
with me in bed; I cannot rise and
give thee.
8 I say unto you. Though he will
not rise and give him, because he is
his friend, yet because of his impor
tunity he will rise and give him as
many as he needeth.
9 And I say unto you, Ask, and
it shall be given you ; seek, and ye
shall find; knock, and it shall be
opened unto you.
10 For every one that asketh re
ceiveth; and he that seeketh findeth;
and to him that knocketh it shall be
opened. 11 If a son shall ask bread of any
of you that is a father, will he give
him a stone? or if he ask a fish, will
he for a fish give him a serpent ?
12 Or if he shall ask an egg, will
he offer him a scorpion ?
13 If ye then, being evil, know
how to give good gifts unto your
children : how much more shall your
heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit
to them that ask him?
14 If And he was casting out a
devil, and it was dumb. And it
came to pass, "when the devil was
gone out, the dumb spake; and the
people wondered.

15 But some of them said. He
casteth out devils through Beelzebub
the chief of the devils.
16 And others, tempting him,
sought of him a sign from heaven.
1 7 But he, knowing their thoughts,
said unto them. Every kingdom
divided against itself is brought to
desolation ; and a house divided
against a house falleth.
18 If Satan also be divided against
himself, how shall his kingdom stand?
because ye say that I cast out devils
through Beelzebub.
19 And if I by Beelzebub cast
out devils, by whom do your sons
cast them out ? therefore shall they
be your judges.
20 But if I with the finger of God
cast out devils, no doubt the kingdom
of God is come upon you.
21 When a strong man armed
keepeth his palace, his goods are in
peace :
22 But when a stronger than he
shall corae upon him, and overcome
him, he taketh from him all his
armour wherein he trusted, and
divideth his spoils.
23 He that is not with me is
against rae: and he that gathereth
not with me scattereth.
24 When the unclean spirit is
gone out of a man, he walketh
through dry places, seeking rest ;
and finding none, he saith, I will
return unto my house whence I came
out. 25 And when he cometh, he find
eth it swept and garnished.
26 Then goeth he, and taketh to
hira seven other spirits more wicked
than himself; and they enter in, and
dwell there : and the last state of that
man is worse than the first.

27 If And it came to pass, as he
spake these things, a certain woman
of the company lifted up her voice,
and said unto him. Blessed is the
womb that bare thee, and the paps

28 But he said. Yea rather, blessed
are they that hear the word of God,
and keep it.
29 If And when the people were
gathered thick together, he began to
say. This is an evil generation : they
seek a sign; and there shall no sign
be given it, but the sign of Jonas
[the prophet].
30 For as Jonas was a sign unto
the Ninevites, so shall also the Son
of man be to this generation.
31 The queen of the south shall
rise up in the judgment with the
men of this generation, and condemn
them : for she came from the utmost
parts of the earth to hear the wisdom
of Solomon; and, behold, a greater
than Solomon is here.
32 The raen of Nineve shall rise
up in the judgment with this gene
ration, and shall condemn it : for
they repented at the preaching of
Jonas ; and, behold, a greater than
Jonas is here.
33 No man, when he hath lighted
a candle, putteth it in a secret place,
neither under a bushel, but on a can
dlestick, that they which come in
may see the light.
34 The light of the body is [the:
thy] eye: [therefore] when thine eye
is single, thy whole body also is full
of light; but when thine eye is evil,
thy body also Is full of darkness.
35 Take heed therefore that the-
light which is in thee be not dark

whole shall be full of light, as when
the bright shining of a candle doth
give thee light.
37 If And as he spake, a [certain]
Pharisee besought him to dine with
him : and he went in, and sat down
to meat.
38 And when the Pharisee saw it,
he marvelled that he had not first
washed before dinner.
39 And the Lord said unto him.
Now do ye Pharisees make clean the
outside of the cup and the platter;
but your inward part is full of raven
ing and wickedness.
40 Ye fools, did not he ihat made
that which is without make that
which is within also ?
41 But rather give alms of such
things as ye have; and, behold, all
things are clean unto you.
42 But woe unto you, Pharisees !
for ye tithe mint and rue and all
manner of herbs, and pass over judg
ment and the love of God: these
ought ye to have done, and not to
leave the other undone.
43 Woe unto you, Pharisees ! for ye
love the uppermost seats in the syna
gogues, and greetings in the markets.
44 Woe unto you, [scribes and
Pharisees, hypocrites !] for ye are as
graves which appear not, and the
men that walk over them are not
aware of them.
45 If Then answered one of the
lawyers, and said unto him, Master,
thus saying' thou reproachest us also.

46 And he said. Woe unto you
also, ye lawyers! for ye lade men
with burdens grievous to be borne,
and ye yourselves touch not the bur
dens with one of your fingers.
47 Woe unto you! for ye build
the sepulchres of the prophets, and
your fathers killed them.
48 Truly ye bear witness that ye
allow the deeds of your fathers : for
they indeed killed them, and ye build
[their sepulchres].
49 Therefore also said the wisdom
of God, I will send them prophets
and apostles, and some of them they
shall slay and persecute :
50 That the blood of all the
prophets, which was shed from the
foundation of the world, may be re
quired of this generation ;
51 From the blood of Abel unto
the blood of Zacharias, which perish
ed between the altar and the temple :
verily I say unto you, It shall be
required of this generation.
52 Woe unto you, lawyers ! for ye
have taken away the key of know
ledge: ye entered not in yourselves,
and them that were entering in ye
hindered. 53 And [as he said these things
unto thera: on his going out thence],
the scribes and the Pharisees began
to urge him vehemently, and to pro
voke him to spealc of many things :
54 Laying wait for him, [and
seeking] to catch something out of
his mouth, [that they might accuse
him.]

IN the mean time, when there were
gathered together an innumerable
multitude of people, insomuch that
they trode one upon another, he
began to say unto his disciples first
of all, Beware ye of the leaven of the
Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.
2 For there is nothing covered,
that shall not be revealed; neither
hid, that shall not be known.
3 Therefore whatsoever ye have
spoken In darkness shall be heard In
the light; and that which ye have
spoken in the ear in closets shall be
proclaimed upon the housetops.
4 And I say unto you my friends.
Be not afraid of them that kill the
body, and after that have no more
that they can do.
5 But I will forewarn you whom
ye shall fear: Fear him, which after
he hath killed hath power to cast
into hell; yea, I say unto you. Fear
him. 6 Are not five sparrows sold for
two farthings, and not one of them Is
forgotten before God?
7 But even the very hairs of your
head are all numbered. Fear not
[therefore] : ye are of more value
than many sparrows.
8 Also I say unto you, Whosoever
shall confess me before men, him shall
the Son of man also confess before
the angels of God :
9 But he that denieth me before
men shall be denied before the angels
of God.
10 And whosoever shall speak a
word against the Son of man, it shall
be forgiven him : but unto him that
blasphemeth against the Holy Ghost
It shall not be forgiven.
11 And when they bring you

unto the synagogues, and unto magis
trates, and powers, take ye no thought
how or what thing ye shall answer,
or what ye shall say :
12 For the Holy Ghost shall teach
you in the same hour what ye ought
to say.
13 If And one of the company
said unto hira. Master, speak to ray
brother, that he divide the inherit
ance with me.
14 And he said unto hira, Man,
who made me a judge or a divider
over you?
15 And he said unto them. Take
heed, and beware of [all] covetous
ness: for a man's life consisteth not
in the abundance of the things which
he possesseth.
16 And he spake a parable unto
them, saying, The ground of a cer
tain rich man brought forth plenti-
fully: 17 And he thought within hira
self, saying. What shall I do, because
I have no roora where to bestow my
fruits? 18 And he said. This will I do:
I will pull down my bams, and build
greater; and there will I bestow all
my fruits and my goods.
19 And I will say to my soul,
Soul, thou hast much goods laid up
for many years ; take thine ease, eat,
drink, and be merry.
20 But God said unto him, Thou
fool, this night thy soul shall be re
quired of thee: then whose shall
those things be, which thou hast pro
vided? 21 So is he that lay eth up trea
sure for himself, and is not rich toward
God. 22 If And he said unto his dis
ciples, Therefore I say unto you,
Take no thought for your life, what

ye shall eat; neither for the body,
what ye shall put on.
23 The life is more than meat, and
the body is more than raiment.
24 Consider the ravens : for they
neither sow nor reap ; which neither
have storehouse nor barn; and God
feedeth them: how much more are
ye better than the fowls ?
25 And which of you [with taking-
thought] can add to his stature [one : a]
cubit? 26 If ye then be not able to do
that thing which is least, why take
ye thought for the rest?
27 Consider the lilies how they
[grow : they toil not, they spin not :
neither spin nor weave] ; and yet I say
unto you, that Solomon in all his
glory was not arrayed like one of
these. 28 If then God so clothe the grass,
which is to day in the field, and to
morrow is cast into the oven; how
much raore will he clothe you, 0 ye
of little faith?
29 And seek not ye what ye shall
eat, or what ye shall drink, neither
be ye of doubtful mind.
30 For all these things do the
nations of the world seek after: and
your Father knoweth that ye have
need of these things.
31 If But rather seek ye [the king
dom of God: his kingdom]; and [all]
these things shall be added unto you.
32 Fear not, little flock; for it is
your Father's good pleasure to give
you the kingdom.
33 Sell that ye have, and give

alms; provide yourselves bags which
wax not old, a treasure in the hea
vens that falleth not, where no thief
approacheth, neither mothcorrupteth.
34 For where your treasure is,
there will your heart be also.
35 Let your loins be girded about,
and your lights burning ;
36 And ye yourselves like unto
men that wait for their lord, when he
will return from the wedding; that
when he cometh and knocketh, they
may open unto him immediately.
37 Blessed are those servants,
whom the lord when he * cometh
shall find watching : verily I say unto
you, that he shall gird hiraself, and
raake them to sit down to meat, and
will corae forth and serve thera.
38 And if he shall come in the
second watch, or come In the third
watch, and find them so, blessed are
[those servants: they].
39 And this know, that if the
goodman of the house had known
what hour the thief would come, he
would have watched, and not have
suffered his house to be broken.
through. 40 Be ye [therefore] ready also;
for the Son of man cometh at an
hour when ye think not.
41 If Then Peter said [unto him].
Lord, speakest thou this parable unto
us', or even to all?
42 And the Lord said, Who then
Is that faithful [and] wise steward,
whom his lord shall make ruler over
his household, to give them their por
tion of meat in due season ?

43 Blessed is that servant, whom
his lord when he cometh shall find so
doing, 44 Of a truth I say unto you, that
he will make him ruler over all that
he hath,
45 But and if that servant say in
his heart, My lord delayeth his com
ing ; and shall begin to beat the men-
servants and maidens, and to eat and
drink, and to be drunken ;
46 The lord of that servant will
come in a day when he looketh not
for him, and at an hour when he is
not aware, and will cut him in sunder,
and will appoint him his portion with
the unbelievers.
47 And that servant, which knew
his lord's will, and prepared not
hiraself, neither did according to his
will, shall be beaten with many stripes.
48 But he that knew not, and did
commit things worthy of stripes,
shall be beaten with few stripes.
For unto whomsoever much is given,
of him shall be much required: and
to whora raen have comraitted much,
of him they will ask the more.
49 If I am corae to send fire on
the earth ; and what will I, If it be
already kindled ?
50 But I have a baptism to be
baptized with; and how am I strait
ened till it be accomplished !
51 Suppose ye that I am come to
give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay;
but rather division:
52 For from henceforth there shall
be five in one house divided, three
against two, and two against three,
53 The father shall be divided
against the son, and the son against
the father; the mother against the
daughter, and the daughter against
the mother ; the mother in law against
her daughter in law, and the daughter
in law against her mother in law.

54 If And he said also to the
people, When ye see a cloud rise out
of the west, straightway ye say, There
cometh a shower; and so it is.
55 And when ye see the south
wind blow, ye say, There will be
heat ; and it cometh to pass.
56 Ye hypocrites, ye can discern
the face of the sky and of the earth;
but how Is It that ye do not discern
this time?
57 Yea, and why even of your
selves judge ye not what is right?
58 If When thou goest with thine
adversary to the magistrate, as thou
art in the way, give diligence that
thou mayest be delivered from him ;
lest he hale thee to the judge, and

and the officer cast thee into prison.

THEEE were present at that
season some that told him of the
Galllaeans, whose blood Pilate had
mingled with their sacrifices.
2 And [Jesus] answering said
unto them. Suppose ye that these
Galileeans were sinners above all the
GalilEeans, because they suffered such
things? 3 I tell you, Nay: but, except ye
repent, ye shall all likewise perish.
4 Or those eighteen, upon whom
the tower in Siloam fell, and slew
them, think ye that they were sin
ners above all men that dwelt in
Jerusalem ?
5 I tell you. Nay: but, except ye
repent, ye shall all likewise perish.

in his vineyard; and he came and
sought fruit thereon, and found none.

7 Then said he unto the dresser
of his vineyard, Behold, these three
years I come seeking fruit on this
fig tree, and find none : cut it down ;
why cumbereth it the ground?
8 And he answering said unto
him, Lord, let it alone this year also,
till I shall dig about it, and dung it:
9 And if it bear fruit, well: and
if not, then after that thou shalt cut
it down, 10 And he was teaching in one of
the synagogues on the sabbath.
11. If And, behold, [there was] a
woman which had a spirit of infirmity
eighteen years, and was bowed to
gether, and could in no wise lift up
herself. 12 And when Jesus saw her, he
called her to him, and said unto her.
Woman, thou art loosed from thine
infirmity. 13 And he laid his hands on her:
and immediately she was made straight,
and glorified God.
14 And the ruler of the syna
gogue answered with indignation,
because that Jesus had healed on the
sabbath day, and said unto the peo
pie. There are six days in which men
ought to work: in them therefore
come and be healed, and not on the
sabbath day.
15 [The Lord then: But the Lord]
answered him, and said, [Thou hypo
crite: Hypocrites,] doth not each one
of you on the sabbath loose his ox
or his ass from the stall, and lead him
away to watering?
16 And ought not this woman,
being a daughter of Abraham, whom
Satan hath bound, lo, these eighteen
years, be loosed from this bond on
the sabbath day?
17 And when he had said these

things, all his adversaries were
ashamed : and all the people rejoiced
for all the glorious things thafwere
done by hira.
18 if Then said he. Unto what is
the kingdora of God like ? and where
unto shall I reserable it ?
19 It is like a grain of mustard
seed, which a man took, and cast
into his garden ; and it grew, and
waxed a great tree ; and the fowls of
the air lodged in the branches of it.
20 And again he said, Whereunto
shall I liken the kingdom of God?
21 It is like leaven, which a wo
man took and hid in three measures
of meal, till the whole was leavened,
22 And he went through the cities
and villages, teaching, and journeying
toward Jerusalem,

unto him. Get thee out, and depart
hence : for Herod will kill thee.

devils, and I do cures to day and to
morrow, and the third day I shall be

AND it came to pass, as he went
into the house of one of the
chief Pharisees to eat bread on the
sabbath day, that they watched him.

2 And, behold, there was a cer
tain man before him which had the
dropsy. 3 And Jesus answering spake unto
the lawyers and Pharisees, saying.
Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath
day [or not] ?
4 And they held their peace.
And he took hira, and healed him,
and let him go ;
5 And answered them, saying,

will not straightway pull him out on

6 And they could not answer him
again to these things.

marked how they chose out the chief
rooms ; saying unto them,
8 When thou art bidden of any
raan to a wedding, sit not down in

ourable man than thou be bidden of
him ;

come and say to thee, Give this man
place ; and thou begin with shame to
take the lowest room.

and sit down in the lowest room ;
that when he that bade thee cometh,
he may say unto thee. Friend, go up
higher: then shalt thou have wor
ship in the presence of [all] them

a dinner or a supper, call not thy
friends, nor thy brethren, neither thy
kinsmen, nor thy rich neighbours ;
lest they also bid thee again, and a
recompence be made thee.
13 But when thou makest a feast,
call the poor, the mairaed, the lame,
the blind :
14 And thou shalt be blessed ; for
they cannot recompense thee : for
thou shalt be recorapensed at the
resurrection of the just.
15 If And when one of thera that
sat at meat with hirf heard these
things, he said unto him. Blessed is
he that shall eat bread in the king
dom of God.
16 Then said he unto him, A cer
tain man made a great supper, and
bade raany :
17 And sent his servant at supper
time to say to them that were bidden.
Come ; for all things are now ready.
18 And they all with one consent
began to make excuse. The first
said unto him, I have bought a piece
of ground, and I must needs go
[and] see it : I pray thee have me
excused. 19 And another said, I have
bought five yoke of oxen, and I go
to prove them : I pray thee have me
excused. 20 And another said, I have mar
ried a wife, and therefore I cannot
corae. 21 So [that : tlie] servant came,
and shewed his lord these things.
Then the master of the house being
angry said to his servant,' Go out
quickly into the streets and lanes of
the city, and bring in hither the
poor, and the maimed, and the halt,
and the blind.

22 And the servant said. Lord, it
is done as thou hast commanded, and
yet there is room.
23 And the lord said unto the
servant, Go out into the highways
and hedges, and compel them to
come In, that ray house may be filled,
24 For I say unto you. That none
of those men which were bidden
shall taste of my supper,
25 If And there went great multi
tudes with him : and he turned, and
said unto thera,
26 If any man come to me, and
hate not his father, and mother, and
wife, and children, and brethren, and
sisters, yea, and his own life also, he
cannot be my disciple,
27 And whosoever doth not bear
his cross, and come after rae, cannot
be ray disciple.
28 For which of you, intending to
build a tower, sitteth not down first,
and counteth the cost, whether he
have sufficient to finish It ?
29 Lest haply, after he hath laid
the foundation, and is not able to
finish it, all that behold it begin to
mock him,
30 Saying, This man began to
build, and was not able to finish,
31 Or what king, going to make
war against another king, sitteth not
down first, and consulteth whether
he be able with ten thousand to meet
him that cometh against him with
twenty thousand ?
32 Or else, while the other is yet
a great way off, he sendeth an am-
bassage, and desireth conditions of
peace. 33 So likewise, whosoever he be
of you that forsaketh not all that he
hath, he cannot be my disciple.

10 Likewise, I say unto you, there
is joy in the presence of the angels of
God over one sinner that repenteth.
11 If And he said, A certain man
had two sons :
12 And the younger of them said
to his father, Father, give me the
portion of goods that falleth to me.
Aild he divided unto thera his living.
13 And not many days after the
younger son gathered all together,
and took his journey into a far
country, and there wasted his sub
stance with riotous living.
14 And when he had spent all,
there arose a mighty famine in that
land ; and he began to be in want.
15 And he went and joined him
self to a citizen of that country; and
he sent him into his fields to feed
swine. 16 And he would fain have filled
his belly with the husks that the
swine did eat : and no man gave
unto him.
17 And when he came to himself,
he said. How many hired servants of
my father's have bread enough and
to spare, and I perish [here] with
hunger !
18 I will arise and go to my
father, and will say unto him. Father,
I have sinned against heaven, and
before thee,
19 [And] ara no more worthy to
be called thy son : raake me as one
of thy hired servants.
20 And he arose, and came to his
father. But when he was yet a great
way off, his father saw him, and had
compassion, and ran, and fell on his
neck, and kissed him.

THEN drew near unto him all the
publicans and sinners for to hear
him. 2 And [botli] the Pharisees and
scribes murmured, saying. This man
receiveth sinners, and eateth with
them. 3 If And he spake this parable
unto thera, saying,
4 What raan of you, having an
hundred sheep. If he lose one of
thera, doth not leave the ninety and
nine in the wilderness, and go after
that which Is lost, until he find it ?
5 And when he hath found it, he
layeth it on his shoulders, rejoicing.
6 And when he cometh home,
he calleth together his friends and
neighbours, saying unto thent, Ee
jolce with me ; for I have found my
sheep which was lost.
7 I say unto you, that likewise
joy shall be in heaven over one sin
ner that repenteth, more than over
ninety and nine just persons, which
need no repentance.
8 If Either what woman having
ten pieces of silver, if she lose one
piece, doth not light a candle, and
sweep the house, and seek diligently
till she find it ?
9 And when she hath found it,
she calleth her friends and her neigh
bours together, saying, Eejolce with
me ; for I have found the piece
which I had lost.

and in thy sight, [and] am no more
worthy to be called thy son.
22 But the father said to his ser
vants, Bring forth the best robe, and
put it on him ; and put a ring on his
hand, and shoes on his feet :
23 And bring hither the fatted
calf, and kill it ; and let us eat, and
be merry :
24 For this my son was dead, and
is alive again ; he was lost, and is
found. And they began to be merry.
25 Now his elder son was in the
field : and as he came and. drew nigh
to the house, he heard musick and
dancing. 26 And he called one of the ser
vants, and asked what these things
meant. 27 And he said unto him, Thy
brother is come ; and thy father hath
killed the fatted calf, because he hath
received him safe and sound.
28 And he was angry, and would
not go in : [therefore : hut] carae his
father out, and intreated him.
29 And he answering said to his
father, Lo, these many years do I
serve thee, neither transgressed I at
any time thy commandraent : and yet
thou never gavest me a kid, that I
might make merry with my friends :
30 But as soon as this thy son
was come, which hath devoured thy
living with harlots, thou hast killed
for him the fatted calf
31 And he said unto him. Son,
thou art ever with me, and all that
I have is thine.
32 It was meet that we should
make merry, and be glad : for this
thy brother was dead, and is alive
again ; and was lost, and is found.

CHAP. XVI.

A ND he said also unto [his: the]
-iJ- disciples. There was a certain
rich man, which had a steward ; and
the same was accused unto him that
he had wasted his goods.
2 And he called him, and said
unto him. How is it that I hear this
of thee ? give an account of thy
stewardship; for thou mayest be no
longer steward.
3 Then the steward said within
himself, What shall I do ? for my
lord taketh away from me the
stewardship : I cannot dig ; to beg
I am ashamed.
4 I am resolved what to do, that,
when I am put out ofthe stewardship,
they may receive me into their houses.
5 So he called every one of his
lord's debtors unto him, and said
unto the first. How much owest thou
unto my lord ?
6 And he said, An hundred mea
sures of oil. And he said unto him,
Take thy bill, and sit down quickly,
and write fifty.
7 Then said he to another, And
how much owest thou ? And he'
said, An hundred measures of wheat.
[And] he said unto him, Take thy
bill, and write fourscore.
8 And the lord commended the
unjust steward, because he had done
wisely : for the children of this world
are in their generation wiser than the
children of light.
9 And I say unto you, Make to
yourselves friends of the mammon of
unrighteousness ; that, when | ye fail :
it shall have failed] they may receive
you into everlasting habitations.

10 He that is faithful in that
which is least Is faithful also in
much: and he that is unjust in the
least Is unjust also in rauch.
11 If therefore ye have not been
faithful in the unrighteous mammon,
who win commit to your trust the
true riclies ?
12 And if ye have not been faith
ful in that which is another man's,
who shall give you that which Is
your own ?
13 If No servant can serve two
masters : for either he will hate the
one, and love the other ; or else he
will hold to the one, and despise the
other. Ye cannot serve God and
mammon. 14 And the Pharisees also, who
were covetous, heard all these things :
and they derided him.
15 And he said unto them. Ye are
they which justify yourselves before
men ; but God knoweth your hearts :
for that which is highly esteemed
among men is abomination in the
sight of God.
16 The law and the prophets were
until John : since that time the king

17 And it is easier for heaven and
earth to pass, than one tittle of the
law to fail.

rieth her that is put away from her
husband committeth adultery.

20 And [there was] a certain
beggar named Lazarus, [which] was
laid at his gate full of sores,
21 And desiring to be fed with
(the crumbs which: what] fell from
the rich man's table : moreover the
dogs came and licked his sores.
22 And it came to pass, that the
beggar died, and was carried by
the angels into Abraham's bosom :
the rich man also died, and was
buried ;
23 And in hell he lift up his eyes,
being in torments, and seeth Abra
ham afar off, and Lazarus in his
bosom. 24 And he cried and said, Father
Abraham, have mercy on rae, and
send Lazarus, that he may dip the
tip of his finger in water, and cool
my tongue ; for I am tormented in
this fiame.
25 But Abraham said, Son, re
member that thou in thy lifetime
receivedst thy good things, and like
wise Lazarus evil things : but now
he is [here] comforted, and thou art
tormented. 26 And beside all this, between
us and you there is a great gulf
fixed : so that they which would
pass from hence to you cannot;
neither can they pass to us, that
would come from thence.
27 Then he said, I pray thee
therefore, father, that thou wouldest
send him to my father's house :
28 For I have five brethren ; that
he may testify unto them, lest they
also come into this place of torment.

him]. They have Moses and the pro
phets ; let them hear them.

S. LUKE, XVII.

ham : but if one went unto them
from the dead, they will repent.
31 And he said unto him, If they
hear not Moses and the prophets, nei
ther will they be persuaded, though
one rose from the dead,
CHAP, XVII.
THEN said he unto the disciples.
It is impossible but that offences
will come : but woe unto him,
through whom they come !
2 It were better for him that a
millstone were hanged about his neck,
and he cast into the sea, than that he
should offend one of these little ones.
3 If Take heed to yourselves : If
thy brother trespass [against thee],
rebuke him ; and if he repent, for
give him.
4 And if he trespass against thee
seven 'times in a day, and seven times
[in a day] turn again [to thee], say
ing, I repent; thou shalt forgive him.
5 And the apostles said unto the
Lord, Increase our faith.
6 And the Lord said. If ye had
faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye
might say unto this sycamine tree.
Be thou plucked up by the root, and
be thou planted In the sea ; and it
should obey you.
7 But which of you, having a
servant plowing or feeding cattle,
will say unto him by and by, when
he is come from the field, Go and sit
down to meat ?
8 And will not rather say unto
him, Make ready wherewith I may
sup, and gird thyself, and serve me,
till I have eaten and drunken ; and
afterward thou shalt eat and drink ?

9 Doth he thank [that : the] servant
because he did the things that were
commanded [him] ? [I trow not.]
10 So likewise ye, when ye shall
have done all those things which are
commanded you, say, We are unpro
fitable servants : we have done that
which was our duty to do.
11 If And it came to pass, as he
went to Jerusalem, that he passed
through the midst of Samaria and
Galilee. 12 And as he entered into a cer
tain village, there met him ten men
that were lepers, which stood afar off:
13 And they lifted up their voices,
and said, Jesus, Master, have mercy
on us.
14 And when he saw them, he
said unto them. Go shew yourselves
unto the priests. And it carae to
pass, that, as they went, they were
cleansed. 15 And one of them, when he saw
that he was healed, turned back, and
with a loud voice glorified God,
16 And fell down on his face at
his feet, giving him thanks : and he
was a Samaritan.

Were there not ten cleansed? but
where are the nine ?
18 There are not found that re
turned to give glory to God, save
this stranger.

go thy way : thy faith hath made
thee whole.

21 Neither shall they say, Lo
here ! or, [lo] there ! for, behold, the
kingdom of God is within you.
22 And he said unto the disciples.
The days will come, when ye shall
desire to see one of the days of the
Son of man, and ye shall not see it.
23 And they shall say to you,
See here ; or, see there : go not after
them, nor follow em.
24 For as the lightning, that
lighteneth out of the one part under
heaven, shineth unto the other part
under heaven ; so shall [also] the Son
of raan be in his day.
25 But first must he suffer many
things, and be rejected of this gene
ration. 26 And as it was in the days of
Noe, so shall it be also in the days of
the Son of man.
27 They did eat, they drank, they
married wives, they were given in
marriage, until the day that Noe
entered into the ark, and the flood
came, and destroyed them all.
28 Likewise also as it was in the
days of Lot ; they did eat, they
drank, they bought, they sold, they
planted, they buUded ;
29 But the same day that Lot
went out of Sodom it rained fire
and brimstone from heaven, and de
stroyed them all.
30 Even thus shall it be In the
day when the Son of man Is revealed.
31 In that day, he which shall be
upon the housetop, and his stuff in
the house, let him not come down to
take it away : and he that is in the
field, let him likewise not return

AND he spake a parable
them to this end, that [men :
they] ought always to pray, and not
to faint ;
2 Saying, There was in a city a
judge, which feared not God, neither
regarded man :
3 And there was a widow in that
city; and she carae unto hira, saying.
Avenge me of mine adversary.
4 And he would not for a while :
but afterward he said within himself.
Though I fear not God, nor regard
man ;
5 Yet because this widow troubleth
me, I will avenge her, lest by her
continual coming she weary me.
6 And the Lord said. Hear what
the unjust judge saith.
7 And shall not God avenge his
own elect, which cry day and night
unto him, [though: and does] he bear
long with them?
8 I tell you that he will avenge
them speedily. Nevertheless when,

the Son of man cometh, shall he
find faith on the earth ?
9 And he spake this parable unto
certain which trusted in theraselves
that they were righteous, and de
spised others :
10 Two men went up into the
temple to pray ; the one a Pharisee,
and the other a publican,
11 The Pharisee stood and prayed
thus with himself, God, I thank thee,
that I am not as other men are, ex
tortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even
as this publican.
12 I fast twice in the week, I give
tithes of all that I possess.
13 And the pubHcan, standing
afar off, would not lift up so much as
his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon
his breast, saying, God be merciful to
me a sinner.
14 I tell you, this man went down
to his house justified rather than the
other: for every one that exalteth
himself shall be abased; and he that
humbleth himself shall be exalted.
15 And they brought unto him
also infants, that he would touch
them : but when his disciples saw it,
they rebuked them.
16 But Jesus called thera unto
him, and said, Suffer little children
to corae unto me, and forbid them
not : for of such is the kingdom of God.
17 Verily I say unto you, Whoso
ever shall not receive the kingdom
of God as a little child shall in no
wise enter therein.
18 And a certain ruler asked him,
saying. Good Master, what shall I do
to inherit eternal life?
19 And Jesus said unto him, Why
callest thou me good? none is good,
save one, that is, God.
20 Thou knowest the command
ments. Do not commit adultery, Do

not kill. Do not steal, Do not bear
false witness, Honour thy father and
thy mother.
21 And he said, All these have I
kept from [my] youth up.
22 Now when Jesus heard these
things, he said unto him, Yet lackest
thou one thing : sell all that thou
hast, and distribute unto the poor,
and thou shalt have treasure in hea
ven : and come, foUow me.
23 And when he heard this, he was
very sorrowful : for he was very rich.
24 And when Jesus saw that he
was very sorrowful, he said. How
hardly shall they that have riches
enter into the kingdom of God !
25 For it is easier for a camel to
go through a needle's eye, than for
a rich man to enter into the kingdom
of God.
26 And they that heard it said,
Who then can be saved ?
27 And he said. The things which
are impossible with men are possible
with God.
28 Then Peter said, Lo, we have
left [all: our oivn], and followed thee.
29 And he said unto them. Verily
I say unto you, There is no man that
hath left house, or parents, or bre
thren, or wife, or children, for the
kingdom of God's sake,
30 Who shall not receive raanifold
more in this present time, and in the
world to come life everlasting.
31 If Then he took unto hira the
twelve, and said unto thera, Behold,
we go up to Jerusalem, and all things
that are written by the prophets
concerning the Son of man shall be
accomplished. 32 For he shall be delivered unto
the Gentiles, and shall be mocked,
and spitefully entreated, and spitted

on:

S. LUKE, XIX.

33 And they shall scourge him,
and put him to death : and the third
day he shall rise again.
34 And they understood none of
these things : and this saying was hid
from them, neither knew they the
things which were spoken,
35 If And it came to pass, that as
he was come nigh unto Jericho, a
certain blind man sat by the way side
begging: 36 And hearing the multitude
pass by, he asked what it meant.
37 And they told him, that Jesus
of Nazareth passeth by.
38 And he cried, saying, Jesus,
thou son of David, have mercy on me.
39 And they which went before
rebuked him, that he should hold
his peace: but he cried so much the
more. Thou son of David, have mercy
on me.
40 And Jesus stood, and com
manded him to be brought unto him :
and when he was come near, he
asked him,
41 [Saying,] What wilt thou that
I shall do unto thee? And he said,
Lord, that I may receive my sight.
42 And Jesus said unto him,
Eeceive thy sight: thy faith hath
saved thee.
43 And immediately he received
his sight, and followed him, glorify
ing God: and all the people, when
they saw it, gave praise unto God.
CHAP. XIX.
ND Jesus entered and passed
through Jericho.
2 And, behold, there was a man
named Zaccheus, -^hlch was the chief
among the publicans, and he was
rich. 3 And he sought to see Jesus who
he was; and could not for the press,
because he was little of stature,
4 And he ran before, and climbed

A

up into a sycomore tree to see him:
for he was to pass that way,
5 And when Jesus came to the
place, he looked up, and saw him,
and said unto him, Zacchceus, make
haste, and come down; for to day I
must abide at thy house,
6 And he made haste, and came
down, and received him joyfuUy,
7 And when they saw it, they
all murmured, saying, That he was
gone to be guest with a man that is a
sinner, 8 And Zacchseus stood, and said
unto the Lord; Behold, Lord, the
half of my goods I give to the poor;
and if I have taken any thing from
any man by false accusation, I restore
him fourfold.
9 And Jesus said unto him. This
day is salvation come to this house,
forsorauch as he also is a son of
Abraham. 10 For the Son of man is come
to seek and to save that which was
lost. 11 And as they heard these things,
he added and spake a parable, be
cause he was nigh to Jerusalem, and
because they thought that the king
dom of God should immediately
appear. 12 He said therefore, A certain
nobleman went into a far country to
receive for himself a kingdom, and to
return. 13 And he called his ten servants,
and delivered thera ten pounds, and
said unto them, Occupy till I come.
14 But his citizens hated him, and
sent a message after him, saying,
We will not have this man to reign
over us.
15 And it came to pass, that when
he was returned, having received the
kingdora, then he commanded these
servants to be called unto hira, to
whom he had given the money, that

he might know how much every man
had gained by trading.
16 Then carae the first, saying,
Lord, thy pound hath gained ten
pounds. 17 And he said unto him, Well,
thou good servant : because thou hast
been faithful in a very little, have
thou authority over ten cities.
18 And the second came, saying,
Lord, thy pound hath gained five
pounds. 19 And he said likewise to him,
Be thou also over five cities,
20 And another came, saying,
Lord, behold, here is thy pound,
which I have kept laid up in a
napkin :
21 For I feared thee, because thou
art an austere man : thou takest up
that thou layedst not down, andreap-
est that thou didst not sow.
22 [And] he saith unto him. Out
of thine own mouth will I judge thee,
thou wicked servant. Thou knewest
that I was an austere man, taking up
that I laid not down, and reaping
that I did not sow :
23 Wherefore then gavest not thou
my money into the bank, that at my
coming I might have required mine
own with usury?
24 And he said unto them that
stood by. Take from him the pound,
and give it to him that hath ten
pounds. 25 (Andtheysaidunto him, Lord,
he hath ten pounds.)
26 For I say unto you, That unto
every one which hath shall be given ;
and frora hira that hath not, even
that he hath shall be taken away
from him.
27 But those mine enemies, which
would not that I should reign over
them, bring hither, and slay them
before me.

28 *if And when he had thus
spoken, he went before, ascending up
to Jerusalem.
29 And it came to pass, when he
was come nigh to Bethphage and
Bethany, at the mount called the
mount of Olives, he sent two of his
disciples, 30 Saying, Go ye into the village
over against you; in the which at
your entering ye shall find a colt
tied, whereon yet never man sat :
loose him, and bring him hither.
31 And if any man ask you, Why
do ye loose hira ? thus shall ye say
unto him, Because the Lord hath
need of him.
32 And they that were sent went
their way, and found even as he had
said unto them.
33 And as they were loosing the
colt, the owners thereof said unto
them. Why loose ye the colt?
34 And they said, The Lord hath
need of him.
35 And they brought him to Jesus :
and they cast their garments upon
the colt, and they set Jesus thereon.
36 And as he went, they spread
their clothes in the way.
37 And when he was come nigh,
even now at the descent of the mount
of Olives, the whole multitude of the
disciples began to rejoice and praise
God with a loud voice for all the
mighty works that they had seen;
38 Saying, Blessed be the King
that cometh in the name of the Lord :
peace in heaven, and glory in the
highest. 39 And some of the Pharisees
from among the multitude said unto
hira. Master, rebuke thy disciples.
40 And he answered and said
[unto them], I tell you that, if these
should hold their peace, the stones
would immediately cry out.

41 If And when he was come
near, he beheld the city, and wept
over it,
42 Saying, If thou hadst known,
even thou, at least in this thy day,
the things which belong unto thy
peace ! but now they are hid from
thine eyes.
43 For the days shall come upon
thee, that thine enemies shall cast
a trench about thee, and compass
thee round, and keep thee in on every
side, 44 And shall lay thee even with
the ground, and thy children within
thee ; and they shall not leave in thee
one stone upon another ; because thou
knewest not the time of thy visita
tion, 45 And he went into the temple,
and began to cast out them that sold
[therein, and them that bought] ;
46 Saying unto them. It is written,
[My house is : Aiid my house shall be]
the house of prayer : but ye have
made it a den of thieves.
47 And he taught daily in the
temple. But the chief priests and the
scribes and the chief of the people
sought to destroy hira,
48 And could not find what they
might do: for all the people were
very attentive to hear him.

AND it came to pass, that on one
of [those: the] days, as he taught
the people in the temple, and preach
ed the gospel, the chief priests and
the scribes came upon him with the
elders,

2 And spake unto him, saying,
Tell us, by what authority doest thou
these things? or who is he that gave
thee this authority?
3 And he answered and said unto
them, I will also ask you [one: a]
thing ; and answer me :
4 The baptism of John, was it
from heaven, or of men ?
5 And they reasoned with them
selves, saying. If we shall say, From
heaven; he will say, Why [then]
believed ye him not ?
6 But and if we say, Of raen ; all
the people will stone us: for they
be persuaded that John was a pro
phet. 7 And they answered, that they
could not tell whence it was.
8 And Jesus said unto them.
Neither tell I you by what authority
I do these things.
9 Then began he to speak to the
people this parable ; A [certain] man
planted a vineyard, and let it forth to
husbandmen, and went into a far
country for a long time.
10 And at the season he sent a
servant to the husbandmen, that they
should give him of the fruit of the
vineyard : but the husbandmen beat
him, and sent him away empty.
11 And again he sent another
servant : and they beat him also, and
entreated him shamefully, and sent
him away empty.
12 And again he sent a third:
and they wounded him also, and cast
him out.
13 Then said the lord of the vine
yard, What shall I do? I will send

my beloved son : it may be they will
reverence him [when they see
him]. 14 But when the husbandmen saw
him, they reasoned among themselves,
saying, This is the heir: [come,] let
us kill him, that the inheritance may
be our's.
15 So they cast hira out of the
vineyard, and killed him. What
therefore shall the lord of the vine
yard do unto them?
16 He shall come and destroy
these husbandmen, and shall give
the vineyard to others. And when
they heard it, they said, God for
bid. 17 And he beheld them, and said.
What is this then that is written,
The stone which the builders rejected,
the same is become the head of the
corner? 18 Whosoever shall fall upon that
stone shall be broken ; but on whom
soever it shall fall, it will grind him
to powder.
19 If And the chief priests and
the scribes the same hour sought to
lay hands on him; and they feared
the 'people : for they perceived that
he had spoken this parable against
them. 20 And they watched him, and
sent forth spies, which should feign
themselves just men, that they might
take hold of his words, that so they
might deliver him unto the power
and authority of the governor.
21 And they asked him, saying,
Master, we know that thou sayest
and teachest rightly, neither acceptest

thou the person of any, but teachest
the way of God truly :
22 Is it lawful for us to give
tribute unto Csesar, or no?
23 But he perceived their crafti
ness, and said unto them, [Why
tempt ye me?]
24 Shew me a penny. Whose
image and superscription hath it ?
They answered and said, Cesar's.
25 And he said unto them, Een
der therefore unto Cassar the things
which be Csesar's, and unto God the
things which be God's.
26 And they could not take hold
of his words before the people : and
they marvelled at his answer, and
held their peace.
27 T Then came to him certain of
the Sadducees, which deny that there
is any resurrection; and they asked
hira, 28 Saying, Master, Moses wrote
unto us. If any man's brother die,
having a wife, and he die without
children, that his brother should take
his wife, and raise up seed unto his
brother. ^9 There were therefore seven
brethren : and the first took a wife,
and died without children.
30 And the second [took her to
wife, and he died childless.]
31 And the third took her; and
in like manner the seven also: and
they left no children, and died.
32 Last [of all] the woman died
also. 33 Therefore in the resurrection
whose wife of them is she ? for seven
had her to wife.

34 And Jesus [answering] said
unto them. The children of this world
marry, and are given in marriage :
35 But they which shall be ac
counted worthy to obtain that world,
and the resurrection from the dead,
neither marry, nor are given in mar
riage :
36 Neither can they die any more :
for they are equal unto the angels;
and are the children of God, being
the children of the resurrection.
37 Now that the dead are raised,
even Moses shewed at the bush, when
he calleth the Lord the God of Abra
ham, and the God of Isaac, and the
God of Jacob.
38 For he is not a God of the
dead, but of the living : for all live
unto him,
39 If Then certain of the scribes
answering said, Master, thou hast
well said.
40 [And: For] after that they
durst not ask him any question at all.
41 And he said unto them, How
say they that Christ is David's son?
42 And David himself saith In the
book of Psalms, The Loed said uijto
my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,
43 Till I make thine enemies thy
footstool. 44 David therefore calleth him
Lord, how is he then his son?
45 % Then in the audience of all
the people he said unto [his disciples :
them], 46 Beware of the scribes, which
desire to walk In long robes, and love
greetings in the markets, and the
highest seats in the synagogues, and
the chief rooms at feasts;
47 Which devour widows' houses,
and for a shew make long prayers:

the same shall receive greater dam
nation.

AND he looked up, and saw the
rich men casting their gifts into
the treasury.
2 And he saw also a certain poor
widow casting in thither two mites.
3 And he said, Of a truth I say
unto you, that this poor widow hath
cast in more than they all :
4 For all these have of their
abundance cast in unto the offerings
[of God] : but she of her penury hath
cast in all the living that she had.
5 If And as some spake of the
temple, how it was adorned with
goodly stones and gifts, he said,
6 As for these things which ye
behold, the days will come, in the
which there shall not be left one
stone upon another, that shall not be
thrown down.
7 And they asked him, saying.
Master, but when shall these things
be ? and what sign will there be
when these things shall come to pass?
8 And he said, Take heed that ye
be not deceived : for many shall come
In my name, saying, I am Christ?
and the time draweth near : go ye
not [therefore] after them.
9 But when ye shall hear of wars
and commotions, be not terrified : for
these things must first come to pass;
but the end Is not by and by.
10 Then said he unto them,
Nation shall rise against nation, and
kingdom against kingdom :
11 And great earthquakes shall be
in divers places, and famines, and
pestilences; and fearful sights and
great signs shall there be from heaven.

"VrOW the feast of unleavened
-Ll bread drew nigh, which is
called the Passover.
2 And the chief priests and scribes

opportunity to betray him unto them

saying. Go and prepare us the pass-

was at Jerusalem at that time.

desirous to see him for a long season,

some miracle done by him.

many words ; but he answered him
nothing. 10 And the chief priests and scribes
stood and vehemently accused hira.

war set him at nought, and mocked
hira, and arrayed hira in a gorgeous
robe, and sent him again to Pilate.

Herod were made friends together:

this man unto me, as one that per-
verteth the people: and, behold, I,
having examined him before you,
have found no fault in this man

touching those things whereof ye
accuse him:
15 No, nor yet Herod: for I sent
you to him ; and, lo, nothing worthy
of death is done unto him,
16 I will therefore chastise him',
and release him.
17 [(For of necessity he must re
lease one unto them at the feast.)]
18 And they cried out all at once,
saying. Away with this man, and re
lease unto us Barabbas :
19 (Who for a certain sedition
made in the city, and for murder,, waa
cast into prison.)
20 Pilate therefore, willing to- re
lease Jesus, spake again to them.

him, crucify him.

third time. Why, what evil hath he
done ? I have found no cause of
death in him : I will therefore chastise
him, and let him go.
23 And they were Instant with
loud voices, requiring that he might
be crucified. And the voices of them

it should be as they required.

him that for sedition and murder was
cast into prison, whom they had de
sired ; but he delivered Jesus to their
will. 26 And as they led him away,

Cyrenian, coming out of the country,

receive the due reward of our deeds:

44 And it was about the sixth
hour, and there was a darkness over
all the earth until the ninth hour.
45 And the sun was darkened, and
the veil of the temple was rent in the
midst. 46 If And when Jesus had cried
with a loud voice, he said, Father,
Into thy hands I commend my spirit:
and having said thus, he gave up the
ghost. 47 Now when the centurion saw
what was done, he glorified God,
saying, Certainly this was a righteous
man. 48 And all the people that came
together to that sight, beholding the
things which were done, sraote their
breasts, and returned.
49 And all his acquaintance, and
the women that followed him from
Galilee, stood afar off, beholding these
things. 50 T And, behold, there was a man
named Joseph, a counsellor ; and he
was a good man, and a just:

51 (The same had not consented
to the counsel and deed of them ;) he
was of Arimathasa, a city of the Jews :
who [also himself] waited for the
kingdom of God.
52 This man went unto Pilate,
and begged the body of Jesus.
53 And he took it down, and
wrapped it iu linen, and laid [it: him]
in a sepulchre that was hewn in stone,
wherein never man before was laid.
54 And that day was the prepara
tion, and the sabbath drew on.
55 And the women also, which
came with him from Galilee, followed
after, and beheld the sepulchre, and
how his body was laid,
56 And they returned, and pre
pared spices and ointments; and rest

they came unto the sepulchre, bring

away from the sepulchre,
3 And they entered in, and found
not the body [ofthe Lord Jesus].
4 And it came to pass, as they
were much perplexed thereabout, be
hold, two men stood by them In
shining garments.
5 And as they were afraid, and
bowed down their faces to the earth,
they said unto them, Why seek ye
the living among the dead?

remember how he spake unto you
when he was yet in Galilee,

8 And they remembered his words,
9 And returned from the sepul
chre, and told all these things unto
the el-even, and to all the rest.
10 It was Mary Magdalene, and
Joanna, and Mary the mother of
Jaraes, and other women that were
with thera, which told these things
unto the apostles.
1 1 And their words seemed to them
as Idle tales, and they believed them not.
12 [Then arose Peter, and ran un
to the sepulchre ; and stooping down,
he beheld the linen clothes laid by
themselves, and departed, wondering
in himself at that which was come to
pass.] 13 If And, behold, two of them
went that same day to a village called
Eramaus, which was from Jerusalem
about threescore furlongs.
14 And they talked together of all
these things which had happened.
15 And it came to pass, that, while
they communed together and reasoned,
Jesus himself drew near, and went
with them.
16 But their eyes were holden that
they should not know him.
17 And he said unto them, What
manner of communications are these
that ye have one to another, as ye
walk, and are sad ?
18 And the one of them, whose
name was Cleopas, answering said
unto him, Art thou only a stranger
in Jerusalem, and hast not known the
things which are come to pass there
in these days ?

S. LUKE, XXIV.

19 And he said unto them, What
things ? And they said unto him.
Concerning Jesus of Nazareth, which
was a prophet mighty in deed and
word before God and all the people :
20 And how the chief priests and
our rulers delivered him to be con
demned ts ideath, and have crucified
him. 21 But we trusted that it had
been he wbich should have redeemed
Israel : and beside all this, to day is
the third day since these things were
done. 22 Yea, and certain women also
of our company made us astonished,
wlilch were early at the sepulchre ;
23 And when they found not his
body, they came, saying, that they
had also seen a vision of angels,
which said that he was alive.
24 And certain of them which
were with us went to the sepulchre,
and found it even so as the women
had said : but hira they saw not.
25 Then he said unto thera, 0
fools, and slow of heart to believe all
that the prophets have spoken :
26 Ought not Christ to have suf
fered these things, and to enter into
his glory ?
27 And beginning at Moses and
all the prophets, he expounded unto
thera in all the scriptures the things
concerning himself,
28 And they drew nigh unto the
village, whither they went : and he
made as though he would have gone
further, 29 But they constrained him, say
ing, Abide with us: for it is toward
evening, and the day Is far spent.
And he went in to tarry with them.
30 And it came to pass, as he sat

at raeat with them, he took bread,
and blessed it, and brake, and gave
to them.
31 And their eyes were opened,
and they knew him ; and he vanished
out of their sight.
32 And they said one to another.
Did not our heart burn within us,
while he talked with us by the way,
[and] while he opened to us the
scriptures ?
33 And they rose up the same
hour, and returned to Jerusalem, and
found the eleven gathered together,
and them that were with them,
34 Saying, The Lord is risen in
deed, and hath appeared to Simon,
35 And they told what things
were done in the way, and how he
was known of thera in breaking of
bread. 36 If And as they thus spake,
[Jesus] himself stood in the midst of
them, [and saith unto thera, Peace
be unto you.]
37 But they were terrified and
affrighted, and supposed that they
had seen a spirit.
38 And he said unto them. Why
are ye troubled? and why do thoughts
arise in your hearts ?
39 Behold my hands and my feet,
that it is I myself : handle rae, and
see: for a spirit hath not fiesh and
bones, as ye see me have,
[40 And when he had thus spoken,
he she wed them his hands and his feet._
41 And while they yet believec
not for joy, and wondered, he sale,
unto them, Havo ye here any meat?

broiled fish, [and of an honeycomb]

S. JOHN, L

9 That was the true Light, w^Ich
lighteth every man that cometh into
the world.
10 He was In the world, and the
world was made by him, and the
world knew him not.
11 He came unto his own, and
his own received him not,
12 But as many as received hira,
to them gave he power to become the
sons of God, even to thera that be
lieve on his name :
13 Which were born, not of blood,
nor of the will of the flesh, nor ofthe
will of man, but of God,
14 And the Word was made fiesh,
and dwelt among us, (and we beheld
his glory, the glory as of the only
begotten ofthe Father,) full of grace
and truth,
15 1 John bare witness of him,
and cried, saying. This was he of
whom I spake, He that coraeth after
meis preferred before me : for he was
before me.
16 [And: because] of his fulness
have all we received, and grace for
grace. 17 For the law was given by
Moses, but grace and truth came by
Jesus Christ.
18 No man hath seen God at any
time; the only begotten Son, which
is In the bosom of the Father, he hath
declared him.
19 1 And this is the record of
John, when the Jews sent priests and
Levites from Jerusalem to ask him,
Who art thou?
20 And he confessed, and denied
not; but confessed, I am not the Christ.

21 And they asked him, What
then? Art thou Elias? And he saith,
I am not. Art thou that prophet?
And he answered, No.
22 Then said they unto him.
Who art thou? that we may give an
answer to them that sent us. What
sayest thou of thyself ?
23 He said, I am the voice of one
cryinginthewlldemess, Make straight
the way of the Lord, as said the
prophet Esaias,
24 And they which were sent were
ofthe Pharisees.
25 And they asked hira, and said
unto hira. Why baptlzest thou then,
If thou be not that Christ, nor Ellas,
neither that prophet ?
26 John answered them, saying,
I baptize with water: [but] there
standeth one among you, whom ye
know not ;
27 He jit is, who coming after me
is preferred before me: that comes
after me] whose shoe's latchet I am
not worthy to unloose,
28 These things were done In
[Bethabara: Bethany] beyond Jordan,
where John was baptizing.
29 If The next day [John] seeth
Jesus coming unto him, and saith,
Behold the Lamb of God, which
taketh away the sin of the world.
30 This is he of whom I said,
After me cometh a man which is
preferred before me : for he was
before me.
31 And I knew hira not : but that
he should be made manifest to Israel,
therefore ara I corae baptizing with
water.

32 And John bare record, saying,
I saw the Spirit descending from
heaven like a dove, and it abode upon
him, 33 And I knew him not: but he
that sent me to baptize with water,
the same said nnto me, Upon whom
thou shalt see the Spirit descending,
and remaining on him, the sarae is he
which baptizeth with the Holy Ghost.
34 And I saw, and bare record
that this is the Son of God.
35 If Again the next day after
John stood, and two of his disciples ;
36 And looking upon Jesus as he
walked, he saith, Behold the Lamb
of God!
37 And the two disciples heard
him speak, and they followed Jesus.
38 Then Jesus turned, and saw
them following, and saith unto them,
What seek ye ? They said unto him,
Eabbi, (which is to say, being inter
preted, Master,) where dwellest thou?
39 He saith unto thera, Come and
see. They came and saw where he
dwelt, and abode with him that day :
[for] it was about the tenth hour,
40 One of the two which heard
John speak, and followed him, was
Andrew, Simon Peter's brother,
41 He first findeth his own brother
Simon,- and saith unto him. We have
found the Messlas, which is, being
interpreted, the Christ,
42 [And] he brought him to
Jesus. [And] when Jesus beheld him,
he said. Thou art Simon the son of
Jona: thou shalt be called Cephas,
which is by interpretation, A stone.
43 If The day following [Jesus]
would go forth into Galilee, and

findeth Philip, and [Jesus] saith unto
him, Follow me.
44 Now Philip was of Bethsaida,
the city of Andrew and Peter,
45 PhiHp findeth Nathanael, and
saith unto him. We have found him,
of whom Moses in the law, and the
prophets, did write, Jesus of Nazareth,
the son of Joseph,
46 And Nathanael said unto him,
Can there any good thing come out
of Nazareth ? Philip saith unto him,
Come and sec,
47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming to
him, and saith of him, Behold an
Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile !
48 Nathanael saith unto him,
Whence knowest thou me ? Jesus
answered and said unto him. Before
that Philip called thee, when thou
wast under the fig tree, I saw thee.
49 Nathanael answered [and saith
unto him], Eabbi, thou art the Son
of God ; thou art the King of Israel.
50 Jesus answered and said unto
him, Because I said unto thee, I saw
thee under the fig tree, believest
thou? thou shalt see greater things
than these.
51 And he saith unto him. Verily,
verily, I say unto you, [Hereafter]
ye shall see heaven open, and the
angels of God ascending and descend
ing upon the Son of man.

the mother of Jesus saith unto him.
They have no wine.
4 Jesus saith unto her, Woman,
what have I to do with thee ? mine
hour is not yet come.
5 His mother saith unto the ser
vants, Whatsoever he saith unto you,
do it
6 And there were set there six
waterpots of stone, after the manner
of the purifying of the Jews, con
taining two or three firkins apiece.
7 Jesus saith unto them. Fill the
waterpots with water. And they
filled thera up to the brim.
8 And he saith unto them. Draw
out now, and bear unto the governor
of the feast. And they bare it.
9 When the ruler of the feast had
tasted the water that was made wine,
and knew not whence It was : (but
the servants which drew the water
knew ;) the governor of the feast call

man at the beginning doth set forth
good wine ; and when men have well
drunk, then that which is worse:
but thou hast kept the good wine

1 1 This beginning of miracles did
Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and mani

12 If After this he went down to
Capernaum, he, and his mother, and
his brethren, and his disciples: and
they continued there not many days.

all out of the temple, and the sheep,
and the oxen; and poured out the
changers' money, and ovetrhrew the
tables ;
16 And said unto them that sold
doves. Take these things hence;
make not my Father's house an house
of merchandise.
1 7 [And] his disciples remembered
that it was written. The zeal of thine
house [hath eaten : will eat] me up.
18 if Then answered the Jews and
said , unto him, What sign shewest
thou unto us, seeing that thou doest
these things?
19 Jesus answered and said unto
them. Destroy this temple, and in
three days I will raise it up.
20 Then said the Jews, Forty and
six years was this temple in building,
and wilt thou rear it up in three days?
21 But he spake of the temple of
his body.
22 AVhen therefore he was risen
from the dead, his disciples remem
bered that he had said this [unto
them] ; and they believed the scrip
ture, and the word which Jesus had
said. 23 If Now when he was in Jeru
salem at the passover, in the feast
day, many believed In his name, when
they saw the miracles which he did.
24 But Jesus did not coraralt him
self unto them, because he knew all
men, 25 And needed not that any should
testify of man : for he knew what was
in man. CHAP. III.
THERE was a man of the Pharisees,
named NIcoderaus, a ruler of
the Jews:
2 The same came to Jesus by night,
and said unto him, KabbI, we know

S.JOHN, IIL

that thou art a teacher come from
God : for no man can do these mira
cles that thou doest, except God be
with him.
3 Jesus answered and said unto
him. Verily, verily, I say unto thee,
Except a man be born again, he can
not see the kingdom of God.
4 Nicodemus saith unto him, How
can a man be born when he is old ?
can he enter the second time into his
mother's womb, and be born?
5 Jesus answered. Verily, verily,
I say unto thee. Except a man be
bom of water and of the Spirit, he
cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
6 That which is born of the fiesh
is fiesh; and that which is born of
the Spirit is spirit.
7 Marvel not that I said unto thee,
Ye must be born again.
8 The wind bloweth where it list
eth, and thou hearest the sound
thereof, but canst not tell whence it
cometh, and whither it goeth: so is
every one that Is born of the Spirit.
9 Nicodemus answered and said
unto him. How can these things be ?
10 Jesus answered and said unto
him. Art thou a master of Israel, and
knowest not these things ?
11 Verily, verily, I say unto thee.
We speak that we do know, and tes
tify that we have seen; and ye re
ceive nqt our witness.
12 If I have told you earthly
things, and ye believe not, how shall
ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly
things ?
13 And no man hath ascended up
to heaven, but he that came down
from heaven, even the Son of man
which is in heaven.
14 If And as Moses lifted up the
serpent in the wilderness, even so
must the Son of man be lifted up :

15 That whosoever believeth in
him should [not perish, but] have
eternal life.
16 If For God so loved the world,
that he gave his only begotten Son,
that whosoever believeth In him
should not perish, but have everlasting
life. 17 For God sent not his Son Into
the world to conderan the world ; but
that the world through him might
be saved.
18 If He that believeth on him is
not condemned : but he that believeth
not is condemned already, because he
hath not believed in the name of the
only begotten Son of God.
19 And this is the condemnation,
that light Is come Into the world, and
men loved darkness rather than light,
because their deeds were evil.
20 For every one that doeth evil
hateth the light, neither cometh to the
light, lest his deeds shouldbe reproved.
21 But he that doeth truth cometh
to the light, that his deeds may be
made manifest, that they are wrought
in God.
22 If After these things came
Jesus and his disciples ' Into the land
of Judsea ; and there he tarried with
them, and baptized.
23 If And John also was baptizing
in ^non near to Salim, because
there was much water there : and '
they came, and were baptized.
24 For John was not yet cast into
prison. 25 If Then there arose a question
between some of John's disciples and
[the Jews: a J"ew[ about purifying.
26 And they came unto John, and
said unto him, Eabbi, he that was
with thee beyond Jordan, to whom
thou barest witness, behold, the same
baptizeth, and all men come to him.

27 John answered and said, A man
can receive nothing, except it he given
him from heaven,
28 Ye yourselves bear me witness,
that I said, I am not the Christ, but
that I am sent before him.
29 He that hath the bride is the
bridegroom : but the friend of the
bridegroom, which standeth and hear

the bridegroom's voice: this my joy
therefore is fulfilled.
30 He must increase, but I must
decrease. 31 He that cometh from above is
above all: he that is of the earth is
earthly, and speaketh of the earth : he
that coraeth from heaven is above all.
32 [And] what he hath seen and
heard, that he testlfieth; and no man
receiveth his testimony,
33 He that hath received his testi
mony hath set to his seal that God is
true, 34 For he whom God hath sent
speaketh the words of God : for [God :
He ] giveth not the Spirit by measure
unto him.
35 The Father loveth the Son, and
hath given all things into his hand.

hath everlasting life : and he that
believeth not the Son shall not see

Samaria, 5 Then cometh he to a city of
Samaria, which is called Sychar, near
to the parcel of ground that Jacob
gave to his son Joseph.
6 Now Jacob's well was there.
Jesus therefore, being wearied with
his journey, sat thus on the well: and
it was about the sixth hour.
7 There cometh a woman of
Samaria to draw water : Jesus saith
unto her. Give me to drink.
8 (For his disciples were gone away
unto the city to buy meat.)
9 Then saith the woman of Samaria
qnto hjm, How Is It that thou, being
a Jew, askest drink of me, which am
a woman of Samaria? for the Jews
have no dealings with the Samaritans.
10 Jesus answered and said unto
her, If thou knewest the gift of God,
and who it is that saith to thee, Give
me to drink ; thou wouldest have asked
of him, and he would have given thee
living water.
1 1 The woman saith unto him. Sir,
thou hast nothing to draw with, and
the well is deep : from whence then
hast thou that living water?
1 2 Art thou greater than our father
Jacob, which gave us the well, and
drank thereof himself, and his chil
dren, and his cattle ?
13 Jesus answered and said unto
her. Whosoever drinketh of this
water shall thirst again :
14 But whosoever drinketh of the
water that I shall give hira shall never
thirst ; but the water that I shall give
hira shall be in him a well of water
springing up into everlasting life.
15 The woman saith unto him. Sir,
give rae this water, that I thirst not
neither corae hither, to draw.

16 [Jesus] saith unto her. Go, call
thy husband, and corae hither,
17 The woraan answered and said, I
have no husband, Jesus said unto her,
Thou hast well said, I have nohusband :
18 For thou hast had five husbands ;
and he whom thou now hast is not thy
husband : in that saidst thou truly,
19 The woman saith unto hira. Sir,
I perceive that thou art a prophet,
20 Ouc fathers worshipped in this
mountain ; and ye say, that in Jeru
salem is the place where men ought
to worship.
21 Jesus saith unto her, Woraan,
believe me, the hour cometh, when ye
shall neither in this mountain, nor yet
at Jerusalem, worship the Father.
22 Ye worship ye know not what :
we know what we worship : for salva
tion is of the Jews,
23 But the hour cometh, and now
is, when the true worshippers shall
worship the Father in spirit and in
truth : for the Father seeketh such to
worship him,
24 God is a Spirit: and they that
worship him must worship him in
spirit and in truth.
25 The woman saith unto him, I
know that Messlas cometh, which is
called Christ: when he is corae, he
will tell us all things.
26 Jesus said unto her, I that speak
unto thee am he.
27 If And upon this came his dis
ciples, and marvelled that he talked
with the woman: yet no man said.
What seekest thou? or, Why talkest
thou with her?
28 The woman then left her water-
pot, and went her way into the city,
and saith to the men,
29 Come, see a man, which told

me all things that ever I did: is not
this the Christ?
_ 30 [Then] they went out of the
city, and came unto him.
31 f Tn the mean while his disciples
prayed him, saying, Master, eat.
32 But he said unto them, I have
raeat to eat that ye know not of.
33 Therefore said the disciples one
to another, Llath any man brought
him ought to eat ?
34 Jesus saith unto them. My meat
Is to do the will of him that sent me,
and to finish his work.
35 Say not ye. There are yet four
months, and then cometh harvest?
behold, I say unto you. Lift up your
eyes, and look on the fields ; for they
are white already to harvest.
36 [And] he that reapeth receiveth
wages, and gathereth fruit unto life
eternal : that both he that soweth and
he that reapeth may rejoice together.
37 And herein is that saying true.
One soweth, and another reapeth.
38 I sent you to reap that whereon
ye bestowed no labour: other men
laboured, and ye are entered into their
labours. 39 If And many of the Samaritans
of that city believed on him for the
saying of the woman, which testified.
He told me all that ever I did.
40 So when the Samaritans were
corae unto him, they besought hira
that he would tarry with them : and
he abode there two days.
41 And many more believed be
cause of his own word ;
42 And said unto the woman. Now
we believe, not because of thy saying:
for we have heard him ourselves, and
know that this is indeed [the Christ,]
the Saviour of the world.

43 H Now after two days he de
parted thence[, and went] into Galilee.
44 For Jesus himself testified, that
a prophet hath no honour in his own
country. 45 Then when he was come into
Galilee, the Galilseans received him,
having seen all the things that he
did at Jerusalem at the feast : for they
also went unto the feast.
46 So [Jesus] came again into
Cana of Galilee, where he made the
water wine. And there was a certain
nobleman, whose son was sick at
Capernaum. 47 When he heard that Jesus was
come out of Judsea into Galilee, he
went unto him, and besought [hira]
that he would corae down, and heal
his son : for he was at the point of
death. 48 Then said Jesus unto him.
Except ye see signs and wonders, ye
will not believe.
49 The nobleman saith unto him,
Sir, corae down ere my child die.
50 Jesus saith unto him, Go thy
way; thy son liveth. [And] the man
believed the word that Jesus had
spoken unto him, and he went his way.
51 And as he was now going down,
his servants raet him, and told him,
saying. Thy son liveth.
52 Then enquired he of them the
hour when he began to amend. And
they said unto him. Yesterday at the
seventh hour the fever left him.
53 So the father knew that it was
at the same hour, in the which Jesus
said unto him. Thy son liveth : and
himself believed, and his whole house.

54 This is again the second mira
cle that Jesus did, when he was come
out of Judsea Into Galilee.
CHAP. V,
AFTEE this there was a feast of
the Jews ; and Jesus went up to
Jerusalera. 2 Now there is at Jerusalem by the
sheep market a pool, which is called
In the Hebrew tongue Bethesda, hav
ing five porches.
3 In these lay a [great] multitude
of impotent folk, of blind, halt,
withered [waiting for the moving of
the water],
4 [For an angel went down at a
certain season into the pool, and
troubled the water : whosoever then
first after the troubling of the water
stepped in was made whole of what
soever disease he had.]
5 And a certain man was there,
which had an infirmity thirty and
eight years.
6 When Jesus saw him lie, and
knew that he had been now a long
time in that case, he saith unto him,
Wilt thou be made whole?
7 The impotent man answered
him, Sir, I have no man, when the
water is troubled, to put me into
the pool: but while I am coming,
another steppeth down before me,
8 Jesus saith unto him, Else, take
up thy bed, and walk,
9 And Immediately the man was
made whole, and took up his bed,
and walked: and on the same day
was the sabbath,

unto him that was cured, It is the
sabbath day : it is not lawful for thee
to carry thy bed.
11 He answered them, He that
made me whole, the same said unto
me. Take up thy bed, and walk.
12 [Then] asked they him, W'hat
man is that which said unto thee,
Take up [thy bed], and walk?
13 And he that was [healed: sick
wist not who it was: for Jesus hac
conveyed himself away, a multitude
being in that place.
14 Afterward Jesus findeth him
in the temple, and said unto him.
Behold, thou art made whole : sin no
more, lest a wprse thing corae unto
thee. 15 The raan departed, and told
the Jews that it was Jesus, which
had made him whole.
16 And therefore did the Jews
persecute Jesus, [and sought to slay
hira,] because he had done these
things on the sabbath day.
17 If But Jesus answered them,
My Father worketh hitherto, and I
work. 18 Therefore the Jews sought the
more to kill him, because he not only
had broken the sabbath, but said also
that God was his Father, making
himself equal with God.
19 Then answered Jesus and said
unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto
you, The Son can do nothing of him
self, but what he seeth the Father
do : for what things soever he doeth,
these also doeth the Son likewise.
20 For the Father loveth the Son,
and sheweth him all things that him
self doeth: and he will shew him

greater works than these, that ye may
marvel. 21 For as the Father raiseth up
the dead, and quickeneth them; even
so the Son quickeneth whom he will.
22 For the Father judgeth no
man, but hath committed all judg
ment unto the Son :
23 That all men should honour
the Son, even as they honour the
Father. He that honoureth not the
Son honoureth not the Father which
hath sent him.
24 Verily, verily, I say unto you.
He that heareth my word, and be
lieveth on hira that sent me, hath
everlasting life, and shall not come
Into condemnation; but is passed
from death unto life.
25 Verily, verily, I say unto you,
The hour Is coraing, and now is,
when the dead shall hear the voice of
the Son of God : and they that hear
shall live.
26 For as the Father hath life in
himself; so hath he given to the Son
to have life in himself;
27 And hath given hira authority
to execute judgment [also], because
he is the Son of man.
28 Marvel not at this: for the hour
Is coming, in the which all that are
In the graves shall hear his voice,
29 And shall come forth ; they that
have done good, unto the resurrection
of life ; [and] they that have done evil,
unto the resurrection of damnation.
30 I can of mine own self do no
thing: as I hear, I judge: and my
judgment is just; because I seek not
mine own will, but the will of [the
Father : Him] which hath sent rae.

31 If I bear witness of myself, my
witness is not true.
32 If There is another that beareth
witness of me ; and I know that the
witness which he witnesseth of me Is
true. 33 Ye sent unto John, and he bare
witness unto the truth.
34 But I receive not testlraony
from man: but these things I say,
that ye might be saved.
35 He was a burning and a shining
light: and ye were willing for a sea
son to rejoice in his light.
36 If But I have greater witness
than that of John: for the works
which the Father hath given me to
finish, the same works that I do, bear
witness of me, that the Father hath
sent me.
37 And the Father himself, which
hath seilt me, hath borne witness of
me. Ye have neither heard his voice
at any time, nor seen his shape.
38 And ye have not his word
abiding in you: for whom he hath
sent, him ye believe not.
39 If Search the scriptures; for in
thera ye think ye have eternal life :
and they are they which testify of rae.
40 And ye will not come to me,
that ye might have life.
41 I receive not honour from men.
42 But I know you, that ye have
not the love of God in you,
43 I am come in my Father's
name, and you receive me not : if
another shall come in his own name,
him ye will receive.
44 How can ye believe, which re
ceive honour one of another, and seek
not the honour that coraeth frora God
only? 45 Do not think that I will accuse
you to the Father : there is one that

accuseth you, even Moses, in whom
ye trust.
46 For had ye believed Moses, ye
would have believed me : for he wrote
of me,
47 But if ye believe not his writ
ings, how shall ye believe my words?
CHAP. VL
AFTEE these things Jesus went
over the sea of Galilee, which
is the sea of Tiberias.
2 And a great multitude followed
him, because they saw [his: the]
miracles which he did on them that
were diseased.
3 And Jesus went up into a moun
tain, and there he sat with his disciples,
4 And the passover, a feast of the
Jews, was nigh,
5 If When Jesus then lifted up his
eyes, and saw a great company come
unto him, he saith unto Philip,
Whence shall we buy bread, that
these may eat?
6 And this he said to prove him :
for he himself knew what he would
do. 7 Philip answered him. Two hun
dred pennyworth of bread is not
suflS.cient for them, that every one
[of thera] may take a little.
8 One of his disciples, Andrew,
Simon Peter's brother, saith unto
hira, 9 There is a lad here, which hath
five barley loaves, and two small
fishes : but what are they among so
raany? 10 [And] Jesus said. Make the
raen sit down. Now there was much
grass in the place. So the men sat
down, in number about five thousand,
11 And Jesus took the loaves;
and when he had given thanks, he

distributed [to the disciples, and the
disciples] to them that were set
down ; and likewise of the fishes as
much as they would.
12 When they were filled, he said
unto his disciples. Gather up the frag
ments that remain, thatnothingbe lost.
13 Therefore they gathered them
together, and filled twelve baskets
with the fragments of the five barley
loaves, which remained over and above
unto them that had eaten.
14 Then those men, when they
had seen the miracle that [Jesus] did,
said, This is of a truth that prophet
that should come into the world.
15 If ^Vhen Jesus therefore per
ceived that they would- come and
take him by force, to raake hira a
king, he departed again into a moun
tain himself alone.
16 And when even was now come,
his disciples went down unto the sea,
17 And entered into a ship, and
went over the sea toward Capernaura.
And it was now dark, and Jesus was
not come to thera,
18 And the sea arose by reason of
a great wind that blew,
19 So when they had rowed about
five and twenty or thirty furlongs,
they see Jesus walking on the sea,
and drawing nigh unto the ship : and
they were afraid,
20 But he saith unto them, It is
I ; be not afraid.
21 Then they willingly received him
into the ship: and imraediately the
ship was at the land whither they went.
22 If The day following, when the
people which stood on the other side
of the sea saw that there was none
other boat there, save [that one where-
into his disciples were entered: one],

and that Jesus went not with his dis
ciples into the boat, but that his dis
ciples were gone away alone;
23 (Howbeit there came other
boats from Tiberias nigh unto the
place where they did eat bread, after
that the Lord had given thanks :)
24 When the people therefore saw
that Jesus was not there, neither his
disciples, they [also] took shipping,
and came to Capernaum, seeking for
Jesus. 25 And when they had found him
on the other side of the sea, they said
unto him, Eabbi, when camest thou
hither ?
26 Jesus answered them and said.
Verily, verily, I say unto you. Ye
seek me, not because ye saw tho
miracles, but because ye did eat of
the loaves, and were filled.
27 Labour not for the meat which
perisheth, but for that meat which
endureth unto everlasting life, which
the Son of man shall give unto you :
for him hath God the Father sealed.
28 Then said they unto him, What
shall we do, that we might work the
works of God?
29 Jesus answered and said unto
them. This is the work of God, that
ye believe on hira whom he hath sent.
30 They said therefore unto him,
What sign shewest thou then, that
we may see, and believe thee? what
dost thou work ?
31 Our fathers did eat manna in
the desert; as it is written, He gave
them bread from heaven to eat.
32 Then Jesus said unto them.
Verily, verily, I say unto you, Moses
gave you not that bread from heaven ;
but my Father giveth you the true
bread from heaven.

the Father which hath sent me draw
him : and I will raise him up at the
last day,
45 It is written in the prophets,
And they shall be all taught of
God, Every man [therefore] that
hath heard, and hath learned of the
Father, cometh unto me.
46 Not that any man hath seen
the Father, save he which is of God,
he hath seen the Father,
47 Verily, verily, I say unto you.
He that believeth [on me] hath ever
lasting life,
48 I am that bread of life,
49 Your fathers did eat manna In
the wilderness, and are dead.

down from heaven, that a man may
eat thereof, and not die.
51 I am the living bread which
came down from heaven : If any man
eat of this bread, he shall live for ever:
and the bread that I will give is my
flesh, [which I will give] for the hfe
of the world.
52 The Jews therefore strove
among theraselves, saying. How can
this raan give us his flesh to eat ?
53 Then Jesus said unto them, _
Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except
ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and
drink his blood, ye have no life In you.
54 Whoso eateth my flesh, and
drinketh my blood, hath eternal
life; and I will raise him up at the

33 For the bread of God is he
which cometh down from heaven,
and giveth life unto the world.
34 Then said they unto him. Lord,
evermore give. us this bread,
35 [And] Jesus said unto them, I
am the bread of life : he that cometh
to me shall never hunger; and he that
believeth on rae shall never thirst.
36 But I said unto you. That ye
also have seen me, and believe not.
37 All that the Father giveth me
shall come to me ; and him that
cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.
38 For I came down from heaven,
not to do mine own will, but the will
of him that sent rae.
39 And this is the [Father's will:
will of Him] which hath sent me,
that of all which he hath given me I
should lose nothing, but should raise
it up again at the last day.
40 [And : For] this is the will of [him
that sent me : my Father], that every
one which seeth the Son, and believeth
on him, may have everlasting life : and
I will raise him up at the last day.
41 The Jews then murmured at
hira, because he said, I am the bread
which came down from heaven.
42 And they said. Is not this
Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father
and mother we know ? how is it
[then that he: that he tiow] saith, I
came down from heaven ?
43 Jesus [therefore] answered and
said unto them, Murmur not among
yourselves. 44 No man can come to me, except

S. JOHN, VIL

56 He that eateth my fiesh, and
drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me,
and I in him.
57 As the living Father hath sent
me, and I live by the Father: so he
that eateth me, even he shall live by
me. 58 This is that bread which came
down from heaven : not as [your :
ihe] fathers did eat [manna], and are
dead : he that eateth of this bread
shall live for ever.
59 These things said he in the
synagogue, as he taught in Caper
naum. 60 Many therefore of his disciples,
when they had heard this, said. This
is an hard saying ; who can hear it ?
61 When Jesus knew in himself
that his disciples murraured at it, he
said unto thera. Doth this offend you?
62 What and if ye shall see the
Son of raan ascend up where he was
before ?
63 It is the spirit that quickeneth ;
the flesh profiteth nothing : the words
that I speak unto you, they are spirit,
and they are life.
64 But there are some of you that
believe not. For Jesus knew from
the beginning who they were that
believed not, and who should betray
hira. 65 And he said. Therefore said I
unto you, that no man can come un
to me, except it Avere given unto him
of [my: iAe[ Father.
66 If From that time many of his
disciples went back, and walked no
more with him.

67 Then said Jesus unto the
twelve. Will ye also go away ?
68 [Then] Simon Peter answered
him, Lord, to whom shall we go ?
thou hast the words of eternal life.
69 And we believe and are sure
that thou art [that Christ, the Son of
the living : the Holy One of] God.
70 [Jesus] answered them. Have
not I chosen you twelve, and one of
you Is a devil ?
71 He spake of Judas Iscariot the
son of SIraon : for he it was that should
betray him, being one of the twelve.
CHAP. VII.
AFTEE these things Jesus walked
in Galilee: for he would not
walk in Jewry, because the Jews
sought to kill him.
2 Now the Jews' feast of, taber
nacles was at hand.
3 His brethren therefore said unto
him. Depart hence, and go Into
Judsea, that thy disciples also may
see the works that thou doest.
4 For there is no man that doeth
any thing in secret, and he himself
seeketh to be known openly. If
thou do these things, shew thyself to
the world.
5 For neither did his brethren
believe in him.
6 Then Jesus said unto them. My
time Is not yet come : but your time
Is alway ready.
7 The worid cannot hate you; but
me it hateth, because I testify of it,
that the works thereof are evil.

8 Go ye up unto [this : th^ feast :
I go not up [yet] unto this feast ; for
ray time is not yet full come.
9 When he had said these words
[unto them, he : he himself] abode
still In Galilee.
10 If But when his brethren were
gone up, then went he also up unto
the feast, not openly, but as it were
in secret.
11 Then the Jews sought him at
the feast, and said, Where is he?
12 And there was much murmur
ing among the people concerning
him : for some said. He Is a good
man : others said. Nay ; .but he de-
celveth the people.
13 Howbeit no man spake openly
of him for fear of the Jews.
14 If Now about the midst of the
feast Jesus went up Into the temple,
and taught.
15 [And the Jews: Tlie Jews thev]
marvelled, saying. How knoweth this
man letters, having never learned ?
16 Jesus [then] answered thera,
and said, My doctrine is not mine,
but his that sent me.
17 If any man will do his will, he
shall know of the doctrine, whether
it be of God, or whether I speak of
myself. 18 He that speaketh of himself
seeketh his own glory: but he that
seeketh his glory that sent him, the
same is true, and no unrighteousness
is in him.
19 Did not Moses give you the
law, and yet none of you keepeth the
law ? Why go ye about to kill me ?

20 The people answered [and
said], Thou hast a devil: who goeth
about to kill thee ?
21 Jesus answered and said unto
them, I have done one work, and ye
all marvel.
22 Moses therefore gave unto you
circumcision; (not because it is of
Moses, but of the fathers;) and ye on
the sabbath day circumcise a man.
23 If a man cyi the sabbath day
receive circumcision, that the law of
Moses should not be broken ; are ye
angry at rae, because I have made a
man every whit whole on the sabbath
day? 24 Judge not according to the
appearance, but judge righteous judg
ment. 25 Then said some of them of
Jerusalem, Is not this he, whom they
seek to kill?
26 But, lo, he speaketh boldly,
and they say nothing unto him. Do
the rulers know indeed that this Is
the [very] Christ ?
27 Howbeit we know this man
whence he is : but when Christ
cometh, no man knoweth whence
he is.
28 Then cried Jesus In the temple
as he taught, saying,. Ye both know
me, and ye know whence I am: and
I am not come of myself, but he that
sent me is true, whom ye know not.
29 [But] I know him: fori am
from him, and he hath sent me.
30 Then they sought to take him:
but no man laid handson him, because
his hour was not yet come.

31 And many of the people
believed on him, and said, When
Christ cometh, will he do more
miracles than these which this man
hath done ?
32 If The Pharisees heard that the
people murmured such things con
cerning him; and the Pharisees and
the chief priests sent officers to take
him. 33 Then said Jesus [unto them].
Yet a little while ara I with you, and
then I go unto him that sent me.
34 Ye shall seek me, and shall not
find me: and where I am, thither ye
cannot come.
35 Then said the Jews among
themselves, Whither will he go, that
we shall not find him ? will he go
unto the dispersed among the Gen
tiles, and teach the Gentiles ?
36 What manner of saying is this
that he said, Ye shall seek me, and
shall not find me: and where I am,
thither ye cannot come ?
37 In the last day, that great day
of the feast, Jesus stood and cried,
saying, If any raan thirst, let hira
come unto me, and drink.
38 He that believeth on me, as
the scripture hath said, out of his
belly shall flow rivers of living water,
39 (But this spake he of the Spirit,
which they that believe on him should
receive : for the [Holy] Ghost was not
yet given; because that Jesus was
not yet glorified.)
40 % Many of the people there
fore, when they heard this saying,
said, Of a truth this is the Prophet.
41 Others said. This is the Christ.

But some said. Shall Christ come out
of Galilee ?
42 Hath not the scripture said,
That Christ cometh of the seed of
David, and out of the town of Beth
lehem, where David was ?
43 So there was a division among
the people because of him.
44 And some of them would have
taken him; but no man laid hands
on him.
45 If Then came the officers to the
chief priests and Pharisees ; and they
said unto them. Why have ye not
brought him ?
46 The officers answered. Never
man spake [like this man: thus].
47 [Then] answered thera the
Pharisees, Are ye also deceived ?
48 Have any of the rulers or of
the Pharisees believed on him ?
49 But this people who knoweth
not the law are cursed.
50 Nicodemus saith unto thera,
(he that carae to Jesus [by night]
[beforetime], being one of them,)
51 Doth our law judge any man,
before it hear him, and know what
he doeth ?
52 They answered and said unto
him, Art thou also of Galilee ? Search,
and look: for out of Galilee ariseth
no prophet.

his own house. CHAP. VIII.

the people came unto him ; and he
sat down, and taught them.
3 And the scribes and Pharisees
brought unto hira a woman taken m
adultery ; and when they had set
her in the midst,
4 They say unto him. Master, this
woman was taken in adultery, in the
very act.
5 Now Moses in the law com
manded us, that such should be stoned :
but what sayest thou ?
6 This they said, tempting him,
that they might have to accuse him.
But Jesus stooped down, and with
his finger wrote upon the ground, as
though he heard them not.
7 So when they continued asking
him, he lifted up himself, and said
unto them, He that is without sin
among you, let him first cast a stone
at her.
8 And again he stooped down, and
wrote on the ground.
9 And they which heard it, being
convicted by their own conscience,
went out one by one, beginning at
the eldest, even unto the last: and
Jesus was left alone, and the woman
standing in the midst.
10 When Jesus had lifted up him
self, and saw none but the woman,
he said unto her. Woman, where are
those thine accusers? hath no man
condemned thee ?
11 She said. No man. Lord. And
Jesus said unto her. Neither do I
condemn thee: go, and sin no more.]
12 If Then spake Jesus again unto
them, saying, I am the light of the
world : he that followeth me shall
not walk in darkness, but shall have
the light of life.
13 The Pharisees therefore said
unto hira, Thou bearest record of thy
self; thy record is not true.

14 Jesus answered and said unto
them, Though I bear record of my
self, . yet my record is true : for I know
whence I came, and whither I go ;
but ye cannot tell whence I come,
and whither I go.
15 Ye judge after the flesh ; I
judge no mai^i.
16 And yet if I judge, my judg-
raent is true : for I am not alone, but
I and the Father that sent me.
17 It is also written in your law,
that the testimony of two men is true.
18 I am one that bear witness of
myself, and the Father that sent me
beareth witness of me.
19 Then said they unto him,
Where Is thy Father ? Jesus an
swered, Ye neither know me, nor
my Father: if ye had known me,
ye should have known my Father
also. 20 These words spake Jesus in
the treasury, as he taught In the
temple: and no man laid hands on
hira ; for his hour was not yet come.
21 Then said [Jesus] again unto
them, I go my way, and ye shall
seek me, and shall die In your sins:
whither I go, ye cannot come.
22 Then said the Jews, Will he
kill himself? because he saith, Whi
ther I go, ye cannot come.
23 And he said unto them, Ye
are from beneath ; I ara from above :
ye are of this world ; I am not of
this world.
24 I said therefore unto you, that
ye shall die in your sins : for if ye
believe not that I am he, ye shall die
in your sins.
25 Then said they unto him, Who
art thou ? [And] Jesus saith unto
them. Even the same that I said unto
you from the beginning.
26 I have many things to say and

to judge of you: but he that sent me
is true ; and I speak to the world
those things which I have heard of
him. 27 They understood not that he
spake to them of the Father.
28 Then said Jesus [unto them],
When ye have lifted up the Son of
man, then shall ye know that I am
he, and that I do nothing of myself;
but as [my : the] Father hath taught
me, I speak these things.
29 And he that sent me is with
me: [the Father: he] hath not left me
alone; for I do always those things
that please him.
30 As he spake these words, many
believed on him.
31 Then said Jesus to those Jews
which believed on him, If ye con
tinue in my word, then are ye my
disciples indeed ;
32 And ye shall know the truth,
and the truth shall make you free.
33 If They answered him, We be
Abraham's seed, and were never in
bondage to any man: how sayest
thou. Ye shall be made free ?
34 Jesus answered them. Verily,
verily, I say unto you, Whosoever
comraltteth sin is the servant of sin.
35 And the servant abideth not
in the house for ever : but the Son
abideth ever.
36 If the Son therefore shall make
you free, ye shall be free Indeed.
37 I know that ye are Abraham's
seed ; but ye seek to kill me, because
my word hath no place in you.
38 I speak that which I have seen
with [my : the] Father : and ye do

that which ye have [seen with: heard
from] your father.
39 They answered and said unto
him, Abraham is our father. Jesus
saith unto them. If ye were Abraham's
children, ye would do the works of
Abraham. 40 But now ye seek to kill me, a
man that hath told you the truth,
which I have heard of God : this did
not Abraham.
41 Ye do the deeds of your father.
[Then] said they to hira, We be not
born of fornication; we have one
Father, even God,
42 Jesus said unto them, If God
were your Father, ye would love
me: for I proceeded forth and came
frora God; neither came I of myself,
but he sent rae.
43 Why do ye not understand my
speech ? even because ye cannot hear
ray word.
44 Ye are of your father the
devil, and the lusts of your father
ye will do. He was a murderer from
the beginning, and abode not in the
truth, because there is no truth in
him. When he speaketh a lie, he
speaketh of his own : for he is a liar,
and the father of it.
45 And because I tell you the
truth, ye believe me not.
46 Which of you convinceth me
of sin ? [And] if I say the truth, why
do ye not believe me?
47 He that is of God heareth
God's words: ye therefore hear them
not, because ye are not of God.
48 [Then] answered the Jews,
and said unto him, Say we not well

that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a
devil. 49 Jesus answered, I have not a
devil ; but I honour my Father, and
ye do dishonour me.
50 And I seek not mine own
glory : there is one that seeketh and
judgeth. 51 Verily, verily, I say unto you.
If a man keep my saying, he shall
never see death.
52 [Then] said the Jews unto him.
Now we know that thou hast a devil.
Abraham is dead, and the prophets;
and thou sayest, If a man keep ray
Saying, he shall never taste of death.
53 Art tliou greater than our
father Abraham, which is dead? and
the prophets are dead : whom makest
thou thyself?
54 Jesus answered. If I honour
myself, my. honour is nothing : it is
my Father that honoureth me; of
whom ye say, that he is your God:
55 Yet ye have not known him ;
but I know him : and if I should say,
I know him not, I shall be a liar like
unto you: but I know him, and keep
his saying.
56 Your father Abraham rejoiced
to see my day: and he saw it, and
was glad.
57 Then said the Jews unto him,
Thou art not yet fifty years old, and
hast thou seen Abraham?
58 Jesus said unto them. Verily,
verily, I say unto you, Before Abra
ham was, I am.
59 Then took they up stones to
cast at him: but Jesus hid himself,
and went out of the temple, [going
through the midst of them, and so
passed by].

CHAP. IX.
AND as Jesus passed by, he saw a
¦ man which was blind from his
birth. 2 And his disciples asked him,
saying. Master, who did sin, this
man, or his parents, that he was born
blind? 3 Jesus answered, Neither hath
this man sinned, nor his parents : but
that the works of God should be
made manifest In hira.
4 I must work the works of him
that sent me, while It Is day: tlie
night cometh, when no man can
work. 5 As long as I am in the world, I
am the light of the world.
6 When he had thus spoken, he
spat on the ground, and made clay
of the spittle, and he anointed the
eyes of the blind man with the clay,
7 And said unto him. Go, wash
in the pool of Siloam, (which Is by
interpretation, Sent.) He went his
way therefore, and washed, and came
seeing. 8 If The neighbours therefore, and
they which before had seen him that
he was [blind: a beggar], said, Is not
this he that sat and begged?
9 Some said. This Is he: others
said, [He: No; but he] Is like him:
but he said, I am he.
10 Therefore said they unto him,
How were thine eyes opened?
11 He answered [and said], A
raan that is called Jesus made clay,
and anointed mine eyes, and said
unto me, Go to [the pool of] Siloam,
and wash : and 1 went and washed,
and I received sight.

12 [Then] said they unto him.
Where is he? He said, I know not,
13 If They brought to the Phari
sees hira that aforetime was blind.
14 And it was the sabbath [day
when : on the day when] Jesus made
the clay, and opened his eyes.
15 Then again the Pharisees also
asked him how he had received his
sight. He said unto them. He put
clay upon mine eyes, and I washed,
and do see.
16 Therefore said sorae of the
Pharisees, This man is not of God,
because he keepeth not the sabbath
day. Others said. How can a man
that is a sinner do such miracles?
And there was a division among
them. 17 They say unto the blind man
again, What sayest thou of him, that
he hath opened thine eyes? He said.
He is a prophet.
18 But the Jews did not believe
concerning him, that he had been
blind, and received his sight, until
they called the parents of hira that
had received his sight.
19 And they asked them, saying,
Is this your son, who ye say was
born blind? how then doth he now
see? 20 His parents answered [them]
and said. We know that this Is our
son, and that he was born blind:
21 But by what means he now
seeth, we know not; or who hath
opened his eyes, we know not : he is
of age; ask him: he shall speak for
himself. 22 These words spake his parents,
because they feared the Jews : for the

Jews had agreed already, that if any
man did confess that he was Christ,
he should be put out of the syna
gogue. 23 Therefore said his parents. He
is of age ; ask him.
24 Then again called they the
man that was blind, and said unto
hira. Give God the praise: we know
that this raan is a sinner.
25 He answered [and said].
Whether he be a sinner or no, I
know not: one thing I know, that,
whereas I was blind, now I see.
26 Then said they to him [again],
What did he to thee ? how opened
he thine eyes?
27 He answered them, I have told
you already, and ye did not hear:
wherefore would ye hear it again?
will ye also be his disciples?
28 [Then] they reviled him, and
said. Thou art his disciple; but we
are Moses' disciples.
29 We know that God spake unto
Moses: as for this fellow, we know
not from whence he is.
30 The man answered and said
unto them, Why herein is a marvel
lous thing, that ye know not from
whence he is, and yet he hath opened
raine eyes.
31 [Now] we know that God
heareth not sinners : but if any man
be a worshipper of God, and doeth
his will, him he heareth.
32 Since the world began was it
not heard that any man opened the
eyes of one that was born blind.
33 If this man were not of God, he
could do nothing.

him. Thou wast altogether bom in
sins, and dost thou teach us ? And
they cast him out.
35 Jesus heard that they had cast
hira out ; and when he had found
him, he said unto hira, Dost thou
believe on the Son of God ?
36 He answered and said. Who Is
he, Lord, that I might believe on
him ?
37 [And] Jesus said unto him.
Thou hast both seen hira, and It is
he that talketh with thee.
38 And he said. Lord, I believe.
And he worshipped him.
39 If And Jesus said. For judg
ment I am corae into this world, that
they which see not might see ; and
that they which see might be made
bHnd. 40 [And] some of the Pharisees
which were with him heard these
words, and said unto him, Are we
blind also?
41 Jesus said unto thera, If ye
were blind, ye should have no sin:
but now ye say, We see; [therefore]
your sin remalneth.
CHAP. X.
YEEILY, verily, I say unto you,
he that entereth not, by the door
into the sheepfold, but climbeth up
some other way, the same is a thief
and a robber.
2 But he that entereth in by the
door is the shepherd of the sheep.
3 To hira the porter openeth ; and
the sheep hear his voice: and he
calleth his own sheep by name, and
leadeth them out.

4 [And] when he putteth forth
[his own sheep : all his own], he goeth
before them, and the sheep follow
him : for they know his voice.
5 And a stranger will they not
follow, but will flee from him: for
they know not the voice of strangers.
6 This parable spake Jesus unto
them : but they understood not what
things they were which he spake
unto them.
7 Then said Jesus unto thera
again. Verily, verily, I say unto you,
I am the door of the sheep.
8 All that ever came before me
are thieves and robbers: but the
sheep did not hear them.
9 I am the door : by me if any
raan enter in, he shall be saved, and
shall go in and out, and find pasture.
10 The thief cometh not, but for
to steal, and to kill, and to destroy:
I am come that they might have life,
and that they might have it more
abundantly. 11 I am the good shepherd: the
good shepherd giveth his life for the
sheep. 12 But he that is an hireling, and
not the shepherd, whose own the
sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming,
and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth:
and the wolf catcheth thera, and scat
tereth [the sheep].
13 [The hireling fieeth,] because
he Is an hireling, and careth not for
the sheep.
14 I am the good shepherd, and
know my sheep, and am known of
mine. 15 As the Father knoweth me,

even so know I the Father : and I
lay down my life for the sheep,
16 And other sheep I have, which
are not of this fold : them also I must
bring, and they shall hear my voice ;
and there shall be one fold, and one
shepherd. 17 Therefore doth my Father love
me, because I lay down my life, that
I might take it again.
18 No man taketh it from me, but
I lay it down of myself, I have
power to lay It down, and I have
power to take it again. This com
mandment have I received of my
Father. 19 If There was a division [there
fore] again among the Jews for these
sayings, 20 And many of thera said. He
hath a devil, and is mad ; why hear
ye him?
21 Others said. These are not the
words of him that hath a devil. Can
a devil open the eyes ofthe blind?
22 If And it was at Jerusalem the
feast of the dedication, [and] it was
winter. 23 And Jesus walked in the
temple in Solomon's porch.
24 Then came the Jews round
about him, and said unto him. How
long dost thou make us to doubt? If
thou be the Christ, tell us plainly.
25 Jesus answered them, I told
you, and ye believed not : the works
that I do in ray Father's name, they
bear witness of me.
26 But ye believe not, because ye
are not of my sheep[, as I said unto
you].

27 My sheep hear my voice, and
I know them, and they follow me:
28 And I give unto them eternal
Hfe; and they shall never perish,
neither shall any man pluck them out
of my hand.
29 My Father, which gave them
me, is greater than all; and no man
is able to pluck thera out of [my : the]
Father's hand.
30 I and my Father are one.
31 Then the Jews took up stones
again to stone him.
32 Jesus answered them, Many
good works have I shewed you from
[my: the] Father; for which of those
works do ye stone me?
33 The Jews answered him, [say
ing,] For a good work we stone thee
not; but for blasphemy; and because
that thou, being a man, makest thy
self God.
34 Jesus answered them. Is it not
written in your law, I said. Ye are
gods? 35 If he called them gods, unto
whom the word of God came, and
the scripture cannot be broken ;
36 Say ye of him, whom the
Father hath sanctified, and sent into
the world. Thou blasphemest; because
I said, I am the Son of God ?
37 If I do not the works of my
Father, believe rae not.
38 But if I do, though ye believe
not me, believe the works: that ye may
[know, and believe: mark, and knoiv]
that the Father is In me, and I in hiiji.
39 Therefore they sought again
to take him: but he escaped out of
their hand,

40 And went away again beyond
Jordan into the place where John at
first baptized; and there he abode.
41 And many resorted unto him,
and said, John did no miracle: but

man are true,

there.
CHAP. XL
"IVrOW a certain man was sick,
-L^ named Lazarus, of Bethany,
the town of Mary and her sister
Martha. 2 (It was that Mary which anoint
ed the Lord with ointment, and wiped
his feet with her hair, whose brother
Lazarus was sick.)
3 Therefore his sisters sent unto
him, saying. Lord, behold, he whom
thou lovest is sick.
4 When Jesus heard that, he said,
This sickness Is not unto death, but
for the glory of God, that the Son of
God might be glorified thereby.
5 Now Jesus loved Martha, and
her sister, and Lazarus.
6 When he had heard therefore
that he • was sick, he abode two days
still in the same place where he was.
7 Then after that saith he to his
disciples. Let us go into Judsea again.
8 His disciples say unto him,
Master, the Jews of late sought to
stone thee ; and goest thou thither
again ?
.9 Jesus answered. Are there not
twelve hours in the day ? If any roan
walk in the day, he stumbleth not,
because he seeth the light of this
world. 10 But if a man walk in the night,
he stumbleth, because there Is no
light in hira.
1 1 These things said he : and after

that he saith unto them. Our friend
Lazarus sleepeth; but I go, that I
may awake him out of sleep.
12 Then said [his disciples: they
to him], Lord, if he sleep, he shall do
well. 13 Howbeit Jesus spake of his
death : but they thought that he had
spoken of taking of rest in sleep,
14 Then said Jesus unto them
plainly, Lazarus is dead.
15 And I am glad for your sakes
that I was not there, to the intent ye
may believe ; nevertheless let us go
unto him.
16 Then said Thomas, which is
called DIdyraus, unto his fellow-
disciples, Let us also go, that we may
die with hira,
17 Then when Jesus came, he
found that he had lain in the grave
four days [already],
18 Now Bethany was nigh unto
Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs off:
19 And many of the Jews came
to Martha and Mary, to comfort them
concerning their brother.
20 Then Martha, as soon as she
heard that Jesus was coming, went
and met him : but Mary sat still In
the house.
21 Then said Martha unto .Jesus,
Lord, if thou hadst been here, my
brother had not died,
22 But I know, that even now,
whatsoever thou wilt ask of God,
God will give it thee.
23 Jesus saith unto her. Thy
brother shall rise again,
24 Martha saith unto hira, I know
that he shall rise again in the resur
rection at the last day,
25 Jesus said unto her, I am the
resurrection, and the life: he that
believeth in me, though he were dead,
yet shall he live :

S. JOHN, XI.

26 And whosoever liveth and
believeth in me shall never die.
Believest thou this ?
27 She saith unto hira, Yea, Lord:
I believe that thou art the Christ, the
Son of God, which should come into
the world.
28 And when she had so said, she
went her way, and called Mary her
sister secretly, saying, The Master is
come, and calleth for thee.
29 As soon as she heard that, she
arose quickly, and came unto him.
30 Now Jesus was not yet corae
into the town, but was in that place
where Martha met hira.
31 The Jews then which were
with her in the house, and comforted
her, when they saw Mary, that she
rose up hastily and went out, followed
her, saying, Slie goeth unto the grave
to weep there.
32 Then when Mary was come
where Jesus was, and saw him, she
fell down at his feet, saying unto him.
Lord, if thou hadst been here, my
brother had not died.
33 When Jesus therefore saw her
weeping, and the Jews also weeping
which came with her, he groaned in
the spirit, and was troubled.
34 And said. Where have ye laid
him? They said unto hira. Lord,
come and see.
35 Jesus wept.
36 Then said the Jews, Behold
how he loved him !
37 And some of them said. Could
not this raan, which opened the eyes
of the blind, have caused that even
this man should not have died ?
38 Jesus therefore again groaning
in hiraself coraeth to the grave. It
was a cave, and a stone lay upon it.
39 Jesus said, Take ye away the

stone. Martha, the sister of hira that
was dead, saith unto him. Lord, by
this time he stinketh: for he hath
been dead four days.
40 Jesus saith unto her. Said I not
unto thee, that, if thou wouldest be
lieve, thou shouldest see the srlorv of
God? 41 Then they took away the stone
[from the place where the dead was
laid]. And Jesus lifted up his eyes,
and said, Father, I thank thee that
thou hast heard me.
42 And I knew that thou hearest
me always : but because of the people
which stand by I said it, that they
may believe that thou hast sent me.
43 And when he thus had spoken,
he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus,
come forth.
44 [And] he that was dead came
forth, bound hand and foot witli
graveclothes : and his face was bound
about with a napkin. Jesus saith
unto them. Loose hira, and let hira
go. 45 Then many of the Jews which
came to Mary, and had seen the
things which [Jesus] did, believed
on him.
46 But some of them went their
ways to the Pharisees, and told them
what things Jesus had done.
47 If Then gathered the chief
priests and the Pharisees a council,
and said, What do we? for this man
doeth raany miracles.
48 If we let him thus alone, all
raen will believe on him: and the
Eomans shall come and take away
both our place and nation.
49 And one of them, named
Caiaphas, being the high priest that
sarae year, said unto them, Ye know
nothing at all,

50 Nor consider that it is ex
pedient for [us: you], that one man
should die for the people, and that
the whole nation perish not.
5 1 And this spake he not of him
self: but being high priest that year,
he prophesied that Jesus should die
for that nation ;
52 And not for that nation only,
but that also he should gather to
gether in one the children of God
that were scattered abroad.
53 Then frora that day forth they
took counsel together for to put him
to death.
54 Jesus therefore walked no more
openly among the Jews ; but went
thence unto a country near to the
wilderness, into a city called Ephraim,
and there continued with [his : the]
disciples. 55 If And the Jews' passover was
nigh at hand : and many went out of
the country up to Jerusalem before
the passover, to purify themselves.
56 Then sought they for Jesus,
and spake among themselves, as they
stood In the temple. What think ye,
that he will not come to the feast ?
57 Now [both] the chief priests
and the Pharisees had given [a com
mandment: commands], that if any
man knew where he where, he should
shew it, that they might take hira.
CHAP. XII.
THEN Jesus six days before the
passover came to Bethany,
where Lazarus was [which had been
dead], whom [he: Jesus] raised from
the dead.
2 There they made him a supper;
and Martha served: but Lazarus was

one of them that sat at the table with
him. 3 Then took Mary a pound of
ointraent of spikenard, very costly,
and anointed the feet of Jesus, and
wiped his feet with her hair : and the
house was filled with the odour of the
ointraent. 4 Then saith one of his disciples,
Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, which
should betray him,
5 Why was not this ointment sold
for three hundred pence, and given
to the poor ?
6 This he said, not that he cared
for the poor ; but because he was a
thief, and had the bag, and bare what
was put therein.
7 Then said Jesus, Let her alone:
against the day of my burying hath
she kept this.
8 For the poor always ye have
with you ; but me ye have not always.
9 Much people of the Jews there
fore knew that he was there: and •
they came not for Jesus' sake only,
but that they might see Lazarus also,
whora he had raised from the dead.
10 If But the chief priests consulted
that they might put Lazarus also to
death ;
11 Because that by reason of hira
many of the Jews went away, and
believed on Jesus.
12 If On the next day much
people that were come to the feast,
when they heard that Jesus was
coming to Jerusalem,
13 Took branches of palm trees,
and went forth to meet him, and
cried, Hosanna: Blessed is the King
of Israel that cometh in the name of
the Lord.

14 And Jesus, when he had found
a young ass, sat thereon ; as it is
written, 15 Fear not, daughter of Sion:
behold, thy King cometh, sitting on
an ass's colt.
16 These things understood not
his disciples at the first: but when
Jesus was glorified, then remembered
they that these things were written
of him, and that they had done these
things unto him.
17 The people therefore that was
with him when he called Lazarus out
of his grave, and raised hira from the
dead, bare record.
18 For this cause the people also
met him, for that they heard that he
had done this miracle.
19 The Pharisees therefore said
among themselves, Perceive ye how
ye prevail nothing? behold the world
is gone after him.
20 % And there were certain
Greeks among them that carae up to
worship at the feast :
21 The same came therefore to
Philip, which was of Bethsaida of
Galilee, and desired hira, saying. Sir,
we would see Jesus.
22 Philip cometh and telleth
Andrew: [and again] Andrew and
Philip [come and] tell Jesus,
23 T And Jesus answered them,
saying. The hour is come, that the
Son of man should be glorified,
24 Verily, verily, I say unto you.
Except a com of wheat fall Into the
ground and die, it abideth alone:
but if it die, it bringeth forth much
fruit, 25 He that loveth his life shall
lose it ; aiid he that hateth his life in
this world shall keep it unto Hfe
eternal, 26 If any man serve me, let hira
follow me; and where I am, there

shall also my servant be : if any man
serve me, him will my Father honour,
27 Now is my soul troubled"; and
what shall I say? Father, save rae
from this hour: but for this cause
came I unto this hour.
28 Father, glorify thy name. Then
came there a voice from heaven,
saying, I have both glorified it, and
will glorify it again.
29 The people therefore, that
stood by, and heard it, said that it
thundered : others said. An angel
spake to him.
30 Jesus answered and said, This
voice came not because of me, but
for your sakes.
31 Now is the judgment of this
world: now shall the prince of this
world be cast out.
32 And I, if I be lifted up from
the earth, will draw all men unto
me. 33 This he said, signifying what
death he should die.
34 The people answered hira, We
have heard out of the law that Christ
abideth for ever : and how sayest
thou, The Son of man must be lifted
up ? Who is this Son of man ?
35 Then Jesus said unto them,
Yet a little while is the light with
you. Walk while ye have the light,
lest darkness come upon you: for
he that walketh in darkness knoweth
not whither he goeth.
36 While ye have light, believe in
the light, that ye may be the children
of light. These things spake Jesus,
and departed, and did hide himself
from them.
37 If But though he had done so
many miracles before them, yet they
believed not on him :

prophet might be fulfilled, which he
spake, Lord, who hath believed our

his hour was come that he should
depart out of this world unto the
Father, having loved his own whicli
were in the world, he loved them
unto the end,
2 And [supper being ended: as
supper was going on], the devil having
now put into the heart of Judas
Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray him;

had given all things into his hands,

went to God ;

aside his garments ; and took a towel,
and girded himself.

a bason, and began to wash the dis

the towel wherewith he was girded.
6 Then cometh he to SIraon Peter:

dost thou wash my feet ?
7 Jesus answered and said unto
hira. What I do thou knowest not

8 Peter saith unto him. Thou shalt
never wash my feet. Jesus answered
him. If I wash thee not, thou hast

ofthe Lord been revealed?
39 Therefore they could not be
lieve, because that Esaias said again,
40 He hath blinded their eyes,
and hardened their heart; that they
should not see with their eyes, nor
understand with their heart, and be
converted, and I should heal them.
4 1 These things said Esaias, [ when :
because] he saw his glory, and spake
of him.
42 If Nevertheless araong the chief
rulers also many believed on him ;
but because of the Pharisees they did
not confess hira, lest they should be
put out of the synagogue :
43 For they loved the praise of
men more than the praise of God.
44 If Jesus cried and said. He that
believeth on me, believeth not on me,
but on him that sent me.
45 And he that seeth me seeth
him that sent me.
46 I am come a light into the
world, that whosoever believeth on
me should not abide in darkness.

came not to judge the world, but to
save the world.

ceiveth not my words, hath one that
judgeth him: the word that I have
spoken, the same shall judge him in
the last day.

self; but the Father which sent me,
he gave me a coramandment, what I
should say, and what I should speak.

11 For he knew who should
betray him ; therefore said he. Ye
are not all clean.
12 So after he had washed their
feet, and had taken his garments, and
was set down again, he said unto
thera, Know ye what I have done to
you? 13 Ye call me Master and Lord :
and ye say well ; for so I am.
14 If I then, your Lord and Master,
have washed your feet ; ye also ought
to wash one another's feet.
15 For I have given you an
example, that ye should do as I have
done to you.
16 Verily, verily, I say unto you.
The servant is not greater than his
lord ; neither he that is sent greater
than he that sent him.
17 If ye know these things, happy
are ye if ye do them.
18 If I speak not of you all : I
know whom I have chosen : but that
the scripture may be fulfilled, He
that eateth bread with me hath Hfted
up his heel against rae.
19 Now I tell you before it come,
that, when it is come to pass, ye may
believe that I am he.
20 Verily, verily, I say unto you.
He that receiveth whomsoever I send
receiveth me; and he that receiveth
me receiveth him that sent me.
21 When Jesus had thus said, he
was troubled In spirit, and testified,
and said, Verily, verily, I say unto
you, that one of you shall betray
me. 22 [Then] the disciples looked one
on another, doubting of whom he
spake.

23 [Now]' there was leaning on
Jesus' bosom one of his disciples,
whom Jesus loved.
24 Simon Peter therefore beckoned
to hiin, [that he should ask who it
shouldbe: and says to him, TeU us
who it is] of whom he spake.
25 He [then] [lying: leaning thus
back on Jesus' breast saith unto him,.
Lord, who is it ?
26 Jesus answered, He it Is,, tO'
whom I shall give a sop, when I hav®
dipped It. And when he had dipped
the sop, he gave it to Judas Iscariot,
the son of Simon.
27 And after the sop Satan entered
into him. Then said Jesus unto him,
That thou doest, do quickly.
28 Now no man at the table knew
for what intent he. spake this unto
hira. 29 For some of thera thought,
because Judas had the bag, that
Jesus had said unto him. Buy those
things that we have need of against
the feast ; or, that he should give
something to the poor.
30 He then having received the sop
went immediately out : and it was
night. 31 If Therefore, when he was gone
out, Jesus said. Now is the Son of
man glorified, and God is glorified
in him.

God shall also glorify him In himself,
and shall straightway glorify him.

not my sayings : and the word which
ye hear Is not mine, but the Father's
which sent me.
25 These things have I spoken
unto you, being yet present with you.
26. But the Comforter, which is
the Holy Ghost, whom the Father
will send in my name, he shall teach
you all things, and bring all things
to your remembrance, whatsoever I
have said unto you,
27 Peace I leave with you, my
peace I give unto you: not as the
world giveth, give I unto you. Let
not your heart be troubled, neither
let it be afraid.

28 Ye have heard how I said
unto you, I go away, and come again
unto you. If ye loved me, ye would
rejoice, because [I said,] I go unto
the Father: for |my: the] Father is
greater than I,
29 And now I have told you
before it come to pass, that, when it
is come to pass, ye might believe,
30 Hereafter I will not talk much
with you: for the prince of [this:
the] world cometh, and hath nothing
in rae,
31 But that the world may know
that I love the Father ; and as the
Father gave me comraandment, even
so I do. Arise, let us go hence.
CHAP. XV.
I AM the true vine, and my Father
is the husbandman.
2 Every branch in me that beareth
not fruit He taketh away : and every
branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth
it, that it may bring forth more fruit.
3 Now ye are clean through the
word which I have spoken unto you.
4 Abide in rae, and I in you. As
the branch cannot bear fruit of itself,
except it abide in the vine ; no raore
can ye, except ye abide in me.
5 I am the vine, ye are the
branches : He that abideth in me,
and I in him, the same bringeth
forth much fruit : for without me ye
can do nothing.
6 If a man abide not in me, he is
cast forth as a branch, andis withered ;
and men gather them, and cast them
into the fire, and they are burned.
7 If ye abide In me, and my words
abide in you, [ye shall] ask what ye
will, and it shall be done unto you.
8 Herein is my Father glorified,

that ye bear much fruit; [so shall ye
be : and become] my disciples.
9 As the. Father hath loved me,
so have I loved you: continue ye In
my love.
10 If ye keep my commandments,
ye shall abide In my love ; even as I
have kept [my: the] Father's com
mandments, and abide in his love.
11 These things have I spoken
unto you, that my joy [might remain :
may be] in you, and that your joy
might be full.
12 This is my comraandraent.
That ye love one another, as I have
loved you,
13 Greater love hath no man than
this, that a raan lay down his life
for his friends,
14 Ye are my friends, if ye do
whatsoever I comraand you.
15 Henceforth I call you not
servants ; for the servant knoweth
not what his lord doeth : but I have
called you friends ; for all things
that I have heard of my Father I
have made known unto you.
16 Ye have not chosen me, but I
have chosen you, and ordained you,
that ye should go and bring forth
fruit, and that your fruit should
remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask
of the Father in my name, he may
give it you.
17 These things I command you,
that ye love one another,
18 If the world hate you, ye know
that it hated me before it hated
you. 19 If ye were of the world, the
world would love his own : but be
cause ye are not of the world, but I
have chosen you out of the world,
therefore the world hateth you.
20 Eemember the word that I

said unto you, The servant is not
greater than his lord. If they have
persecuted me, they will also perse
cute you ; if they have kept my
saying, they will keep your's also.
21 But all these things will they
do unto you for my name's sake, be
cause they know not him that sent
me. 22 If I had not come and spoken
unto them, they had not had sin:
but now they have no cloke for their
sin. 23 He that hateth me hateth my
Father also.
24 If I had not done araong them
the works which none other man did,
they had not had sin : but now have
they both seen and hated both me
and my Father,
25 But this cometh to pass, that
the word might be fulfilled that Is
written in their law, They hated me
without a cause,
26 But when the Comforter Is
come, whom I will send unto you
from the Father, even the Spirit of
truth, which proceedeth from the
Father, he shall testify of me :
27 And ye also shall bear witness,
because ye have been with me from
the beginning.
CHAP. XVI.

THESE things have I spoken unto
you, that ye should not' be
ofiended, 2 They shall put you out of the
synagogues: yea, the time cometh,
that whosoever killeth you will think
that he doeth God service.
3 And these things will they do
[unto you], because they have not
known the Father, nor me,

you, that when the time shall come,
ye may remember that I told you of
them. And these things I said not
unto you at the beginning, because I
was with you,
5 But now I go my way to him
that sent rae ; and none of you asketh
me, Whither goest thou?
6 But because I have said these
things unto you, sorrow hath filled
your heart.
7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth ;
It is expedient for you that I go
away: for if I go not away, the
Comforter will not come unto you;
but if I depart, I will send hira unto
you. 8 And when he Is come, he will
reprove the world of sin, and of
righteousness, and of judgment:
9 Of sin, because they believe not
on me;
10 Of righteousness, because I go
to |my: the] Father, and ye see me
no. raore;
11 Of judgment, because the prince
of this world is judged.
12 I have yet many things to say
unto you, but ye cannot bear them now.
13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit
of truth, Is come, he will guide you
into all truth: in all the truth]: for
le shall not speak of himself; but
whatsoever he shall hear, that shall
he speak : and he will shew you
things to come,
14 He shall glorify me: for he
shall receive of mine, and shall shew
it unto you,
15 All things that the Father hath
are mine: therefore said I, that he
shall take of mine, and shall shew it
unto you.

16 A little while, and ye shall not
see me : and again, a little while, and
ye shall see me[, because I go to the
Father]. 17 Then said some of his disciples
araong theraselves. What Is this that
he saith unto us, A little while, and
ye shall not see me: and again, a
Httle while, and ye shall see me : and,
Because I go to the Father?
18 They said therefore, What is
this that he saith, A little while? we
cannot tell what he saith.
19 [Now] Jesus knew that they
were desirous to ask him, and said
unto them, Do ye enquire among
yourselves of that I said, A little
while, and ye shall not see me: and
again, a little while, and ye shall see
me? 20 Verily, verily, I say unto you.
That ye shall weep and lament, but
the world shall rejoice: [and] ye
shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow
shall be turned into joy.
21 A woman when she is In travail
hath sorrow, because her hour is
come: but as soon as she is delivered
of the child, she remembereth no
more the anguish, for joy that a man
Is born Into the world.
22 And ye now therefore have
sorrow: but I will see you again,
and your heart shall rejoice, and your
joy no man taketh from you.
23 And in that day ye shall ask
rae nothing. Verily, verily, I .say
unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask
the Father In ray name, he will give
it you. 24 Hitherto have ye asked nothing
in ray name: ask, and ye shall re
ceive, that your joy may be full.

25 These things have I spoken
unto you in proverbs: [but] the
time cometh, when I shall no more
speak unto you In proverbs, but I
shall shew you plainly of the Father.
26 At that day ye shall ask in my
narae: and I say not unto you, that
I will pray the Father for you :
27 For the Father himself loveth
you, because ye have loved rae, and
have believed that I came out frora
God. 28 I carae forth from the Father,
and ara corae into the world : again,
I leave the world, and go to the
Father. 29 His disciples said [unto hira]
Lo, now speakest thou plainly, and
speakest no proverb.
" 30 Now are we sure that thou
knowest all things, and needest not
that any man should ask thee: by
this we believe that thou camest forth
frora God.
31 Jesus answered them. Do ye
now believe?
32 Behold, the hour cometh, yea,
is [now] come, that ye shall be
scattered, every man to his own, and
shall leave me alone: and yet I am
not alone, because the Father is with
me. 33 These things I have spoken
unto you, that in me ye might have
peace. In the world ye shall have
tribulation : but be of good cheer ; I
have overcome the world.
CHAP. XVII.
THESE words spake Jesus, and
lifted up his eyes to heaven,
and said,'^ Father, the hour is come ;

glorify thy Son, that thy Son [also]
may glorify thee :
2 As thou hast given him power
over all flesh, that he should give
eternal life to as many as thou hast
given hira.
3 And this is life eternal, that they
might know thee the only true God,
and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast
sent. 4 I have glorified thee on the
earth : I have finished the work which
thou gavest me to do.
5 And now, 0 Father, glorify
thou me with thine own self with
the glory which I had with thee
before the world was.
6 I have manifested thy name
unto the men which thou gavest me
out of the world: thine they were,
and thou gavest them rae ; and they
have kept thy word.
7 Now they have known that all
things whatsoever thou hast given
me are of thee.
8 For I have given unto them the
words which thou gavest me; and
they have received them, and have
known surely that I came out from
thee, and they have believed that
thou didst send me.
9 I pray for them : I pray not for
the world, but for thera which thou
hast given me; for they are thine.
10 And all mine are thine, and
thine are raine ; and I am glorified In
them. 1 1 And now I am no more in the
world, but these are in the world,
and I come to thee. Holy Father,

hast given me, that they may be one,
as we are.
12 While I was with them [in the
world], I kept thera in thy narae [:
those that thou gavest me: which
thou hast given me: and] I have
kept, and none of them ia lost, but
the son of perdition; that the scrip
ture might be fulfilled.
13 And now come I to thee; and
these things T speak in the world,
that they might have my joy fulfilled
in themselves.14 I have given them thy word;
and the world hath hated them, be
cause they are not of the world, even
as I ara not of the world.
15 I pray not that thou shouldest
take them out of the world, but that
thou shouldest keep them from the
evil. 16 They are not of the world, even
as I am not of the world.
17 Sanctify them through [thy:
the] truth : thy word is truth.
18 As thou hast sent rae into the
world, even so have I also sent them
into the world.
19 And for their sakes I sanctify
myself, that they also might be sanc
tified through the truth.
20 Neither pray I for these alone,
but for them also which [shall] be
lieve on me through their word;
21 That they all may be one; as
thou, Father, art in me, and I in
thee, that they also may be [one] in
us : that the world may believe that
thou hast sent me.
22 And the glory which thou
gavest me I have given thera; that

they may be one, even as we are
one: 23 I in them, and thou in me,
that they may be made perfect in
one ; [and] that the world may know
that thou hast sent me, and hast
loved them, as thou hast loved me.
24 Father, I will that [they also,
whora : what] thou hast given rae, be*
with me where I am ; that they may
behold my glory, which thou hast
given me : for thou lovedst me before
the foundation of the world.
25 0 righteous Father, the world
hath not known thee: but I have
known thee, and these have known
that thou hast sent me.
26 And I have declared unto them
thy name, and will declare it: that the
love wherewith thou hast loved me
raay be in them, and I in them.
[CHAP. XVIII.
WHEN Jesus had spoken these
words, he weiit forth with his
disciples over the brook Cedron,
where was a garden, into the which
he entered, and his disciples.
2 And Judas also, which betrayed
him, knew the place: for Jesus oft-
times resorted thither with his dis
ciples. 3 Judas then, having received a
band of men and oflScers from the
chief priests and Pharisees, cometh
thither with lanterns and torches and
weapons. 4 Jesus therefore, knowing all
things that should come upon him,
went forth, and said unto them.
Whom seek ye?

5 They answered him, Jesus of
Nazareth. [Jesus] saith unto them,
I am he. And Judas also, which
betrayed hira, stood with thera.
6 As soon then as he had said
unto them, I am he, they went back-
' ward, and fell to the ground.
7 Then asked he them again,
' Whom seek ye ? And they said,
Jesus of Nazareth.
8 Jesus answered, I have told you
that I am he : if therefore ye seek me,
let these go their way :
9 That the saying might be ful
filled, which he spake. Of them which
thou gavest me have I lost none.
10 Then Simon Peter having a
sword drew it, and smote the high
priest's servant, and cut off his right
ear. The servant's name was Malchus.
11 Then said Jesus unto Peter,
Put up [thy: the] sword into the
sheath: the cup which my Father
hath given me, shall I not drink it?
12 Then the band and the captain
and ofiicers of the Jews took Jesus,
and bound him,
13 And led hira away to Annas
first ; for he was father in law to
Caiaphas, which was the high priest
that same year.
14 Now Caiaphas was he, which
gave counsel to the Jews, that it was
expedient that one man should die
for the people.
15 If And Simon Peter followed
Jesus, and so did another disciple:
that disciple was known unto the
high priest, and went in with Jesus
into the palace of the high priest.
16 But Peter stood at the door
without. Then went out that other
disciple, which was known unto the
high priest, and spake unto her that
kept the door, and brought in Peter.

17 Then saith the damsel that
kept the door unto Peter, Art not
thou also one of this man's disciples?
He saith, I ara not.
18 And the servants and officers
stood there, who had made a fire of-
coals ; for it was cold : and they
warmed themselves : and Peter stood
with them, and warmed himself
19 If The high priest then ashed
Jesus of his disciples, and of his doc^
trine. 20 Jesus answered him, I spake
openly to the world ; I ever taught In
the synagogue, and in the temple,
whither [the Jews always: all the
Jews] resort ; and in secret have I
said nothing.
21 Why askest thou me? ask them
which heard me, what I have said
unto them : behold, they know what
I said. 22 And when he had thus spoljen,
one of the officers which stood by
struck Jesus with the palm of his
hand, saying, Answerest thou the
high priest so?
23 Jesus answered him, If I have
spoken evil, bear witness of the evil :
but if well, why smitest thou me?
24 Now Annas had sent him
bound unto Caiaphas the high priest.
25 And Simon Peter stood and
warmed hiraself. They said there
fore unto him, Art not thou also one
of his disciples? He denied it, and
said, I am not. :
26 One of the servants of the high
priest, being his kinsman whose ear
Peter cut off, saith. Did not I see
thee In the garden with him?
27 Peter then denied again: and
immediately the cock crew.
28 If Then led they Jesus from
Caiaphas unto the hall of judgment :

and it was early; and they them
selves went not into the judgment
hall, lest they should be defiled ; but
that they might eat the passover,
29 Pilate then went out unto them,
and said, What accusation bring ye
against this man?
30 They answered and said unto
him, If he were not a malefactor, we
would not have delivered him up
unto thee,
31 Then said Pilate unto them.
Take ye him, and judge him accord
ing to your law. The Jews [there
fore] said unto him. It is not lawful
for us to put any man to death :
32 That the saying of Jesus might
be fulfilled, which he spake, signify
ing what deatli he should die.
33 Then Pilate entered into the
judgment hall again, and called Jesus,
and said unto him, Art thou the
King ofthe Jews?
34 Jesus answered [him], Sayest
thou this thing of thyself, or did
others tell it thee of me ?
35 Pilate answered, Am I a Jew?
Thine own nation and the chief
priests have delivered thee unto rae :
what hast thou done ?
36 Jesus answered. My kingdora
is not of this world : if my kingdom
were of this world, then would ray
servants fight, that I should not be
delivered to the Jews: but now is
my kingdom not from hence.
37 Pilate, therefore said unto him.
Art thou a king then? Jesus an
swered. Thou sayest that I am a king.
To this end was I born, and for this
cause came I into the world, that I
should bear witness unto the truth.

Every one that is of the truth heareth
my voice.
38 Pilate saith unto him. What is
truth ? And when he had said this,
he went out again unto the Jews, and
saith iinto them, I find in him no
fault at all.
39 But ye have a custom, that I
should release unto you one at the
passover: will ye therefore that I
release unto you the King of the
Jews? 40 Then cried they all again, say
ing. Not this man, but Barabbas.
Now Barabbas was a robber.
CHAP. XIX.
THEN Pilate therefore took Jesus,
and scourged him.
2 And the soldiers platted a crown
of thorns, and put it on his head, and
they put on him a purple robe, [a?id
were coming to him]
3 And said, Hail, King of the
Jews ! and they smote him with their
hands.
¦ 4 Pilate [therefore] went forth
again, and saith unto thera. Behold,
I bring hira forth to you, that ye
may know that I find no fault in him.
5 Then carae Jesus forth, wearing
the crown of thorns, and the purple
robe. And Pilate saith unto them.
Behold the man !
6 When the chief priests therefore
and officers saw him, they cried out,
saying, Crucify hira, crucify hira,
Pilate saith unto them, Take ye him,
and crucify hira : for I find no fault
in him.

ought to die, because he made him
self the Son of God,
8 If When Pilate therefore heard
that saying, he was the more afraid ;
9 And went again into the judg
ment hall, and saith unto Jesus,
Whence art thou? But Jesus gave
him no answer,
10 [Then] saith Pilate unto him,
Speakest thou not unto me? knowest
thou not that I have power to crucify
thee, and have power to release thee?
11 Jesus answered. Thou couldest
have no power at all against me,
except It were given thee from above :
therefore he that delivered me unto
thee hath the greater sin,
12 And frora thenceforth Pilate
sought to release him : but the Jews
cried out, saying, If thou let this
man go, thou art not Cassar's friend :
whosoever maketh himself a king
speaketh against Csesar.
13 If When Pilate therefore heard
[that saying: these Mor(^«[, he brought
Jesus forth, and sat down in the
judgment seat in a place that is called
the Pavement, but in the Hebrew,
Gabbatha, 14 And it was the preparation of
the passover, and about the sixth
hour: and he saith unto the Jews,
Behold your King !
15 But they cried out, Away with
him, away with him, crucify him,
Pilate saith unto them. Shall I crucify
your King ? The chief priests an
swered, We have no king but Cassar,
16 Then delivered he him there
fore unto them to be crucified. And
they took Jesus[, and led him] away,
17 And he bearing his cross went
forth into a place called the place
of a skull, which is called in the
Hebrew Golgotha:

18 Where they crucified him, and
two other with him, on either side
one, and Jesus in the raidst,
19 If And Pilate wrote a title, and
put it on the cross. And the writing
was, JESUS OF NAZAEETH
THE KING OF THE JEWS,
20 This title then read many of
the Jews: for the place where Jesus
was crucified was nigh to the city:
and it was written in Hebrew, and
Greek, and Latin,
21 Then said the chief priests of
the Jews to Pilate, Write not, The
King of the Jews; but that he said,
I am King of the Jews,
22 Pilate answered. What I have
written I have written.
23 H Then the soldiers, when they
had crucified Jesus, took his gar
ments, and raade four parts, to every
soldier a part ; and also his coat:
now the coat was without seam,
woven frora the top throughout.
24 They said therefore among
themselves. Let us not rend it, but
cast lots for it, whose it shall be:
that the scripture might be fulfilled,
[which saith,] They parted my rai
ment among them, and for my vesture
they did cast lots. These things
therefore the soldiers did.
25 If Now there stood by the cross
of Jesus his mother, and his mother's
sister, Mary the wife of Cleophas, and
Mary Magdalene,
26 When Jesus therefore saw his
mother, and the disciple standing by,
whom he loved, he saith unto his
mother, Woman, behold thy son !
27 Then saith he to the disciple,
Behold thy mother ! And from that
hour that disciple took her unto his
own home.

that all thingswere now accomplished,
that the scripture might be fulfilled,
saith, I thirst.
29 Now there was set a vessel full
of vinegar : and they filled a spunge
with vinegar, and put it upon hyssop,
and put it to his mouth.
30 When Jesus therefore had re
ceived the vinegar, he said, It is
finished : and he bowed his head, and
gave up the ghost.
31 The Jews therefore, because it
was the preparation, that the bodies
should not remain upon the cross on
the sabbath day, (for that sabbath
day was an high day,) besought Pilate
that their legs might be broken, and
that they might be taken away.
32 Then came the soldiers, and
brake the legs of the first, and of
the other which was crucified with
him. 33 But when they came to Jesus,
and saw that he was dead already,
they brake not his legs :
34 But one of the soldiers with a
spear pierced his side, and forthwith
came there out blood and water.
35 And he that saw it bare record,
and his record is true : and he know
eth that he saith true, that ye [too]
might believe.
36 For these things were done,
that the scripture should be fulfilled,
A bone of him shall not be broken,
37 And again another scripture
saith, They shall look on him whom
they pierced.
38 1^ [And] after this Joseph of
Ariraathaea, being a disciple of Jesus,
but secretly for fear of the Jews, be
sought Pilate that he raight take away
the body of Jesus: and Pilate gave
him leave. He came therefore, and
took [the body of Jesus: his body].

39 And there came also Nicode
mus, which at the first came to [Jesus :
him] by night, and brought a mixture
of myrrh and aloes, about an hundred
pound weight.
40 Then took they the body of
Jesus, and wound It in linen clothes
with the spices, as the manner of the
Jews is to bury.
41 Now in the place where he was
crucified there was a garden ; and in
the gardeh a new sepulchre, wherein
was never man yet laid.
42 There laid they Jesus therefore
because of the Jews' preparation day ;
for the sepulchre was nigh at hand.
CHAP. XX.
THE first day of the wdek cometh
Mary Magdalene early, when it
was yet dark, unto the sepulchre, and
seeth the stone taken away frora the
sepulchre. 2 Then she runneth, and cometh
to Simon Peter, and to the other dis
ciple, whom Jesus loved, and saith
unto them. They have taken away
the Lord out of the sepulchre, and
we know not where they have laid
him. 3 Peter therefore went forth, and
that other disciple, and came to the
sepulchre. 4 So they ran both together : and
the other disciple did outrun Peter,
and came first to the sepulchre.
5 And he stooping down, and
looking in, saw the linen clothes
lying ; yet went he not in.

told the disciples that she had seen
the Lord, and that he had spoken
these things unto her,
1 9 If Then the same day at even
ing, being the first day of the weele,
when the doors were shut where the
disciples were [assembled] for fear of
the Jews, came Jesus and stood in
the midst, and saith unto thera. Peace
be unto you,
20 And when he had so said, he
shewed unto them his hands and his
side. Then were the disciples glad,
when they saw the Lord.
21 Then said [Jesus] to them
again, Peace be unto you : as my
Father hath sent me, even so send I
you. 22 And when he had said this,
he breathed on them, and saith unto
them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost:
23 Whose soever sins ye remit,
they are remitted unto them; and
whose soever sins ye retain, they are
retained, 24 If But Thomas, one of the
twelve, called Didymus, was not
with them when Jesus came,
25 The other disciples therefore
said unto him. We have seen the
Lord, But he said unto them, Ex

the [print : place] of the nails, and
thrust my hand into his side, I will
not believe.

8 Then went In also that other
disciple, which came first to the
sepulchre, and he saw, and believed.
9 For as yet they knew not the
scripture, that he must rise again
from the dead.
10 Then the disciples went away
again unto their own home.
11 1 But Mary stood [without]
at the sepulchre weeping : *and as she
wept, she stooped down, and looked
into the sepulchre,
12 And seeth two angels in white
sitting, the one at the head, and the
other at the feet, where the body of
Jesus had lain.
13 And they say unto her. Woman,
why weepest thou ? She saith unto
them. Because they have taken away
my Lord, and I know not where
they have laid him.
14 [And] when she had thus said,
she turned herself back, and saw
Jesus standing, and knew not that it
was Jesus,
15 Jesus saith unto her. Woman,

gardener, saith unto him. Sir, if thou
have borne him hence, tell me where

She turned herself, and saith unto
him, Kabboni ; which is to say.

doors being shut, and stood in the
midst, and said, Peace be unto you.
27 Then saith he to Thomas, Reach
hither thy finger, and behold my
hands ; and reach hither thy hand,
and thrust it into my side : and be
not faithless, but believing.
28 [And] Thomas answered and
said unto him, My Lord and my
God. 29 Jesus saith unto him, [Tho
mas,] because thou hast seen me,
thou hast believed: blessed are they
that have not seen, and yet have
believed. 30 If And many other signs truly
did Jesus In the presence of [his : the]

Peter, and Thomas called DIdyraus,
and Nathanael of Cana in Galilee,
and the sons of Zebedee, and two
other of his disciples.

We also go with thee. They went
forth, and entered into a ship [im

caught nothing.

4 But when the morning was now
come, Jesus stood on the shore: but
the disciples knew not that it was
Jesus. 5 Then Jesus saith unto them,
Children, have ye any meat ? They
answered him, No.
6 And he said unto them, Cast
the net on the right side of the ship,
and ye shall find. They cast there
fore, and now they were not able to
draw it for the multitude of fishes.
7 Therefore that disciple whom
Jesus loved saith unto Peter, It is
the Lord. Now when Simon Peter
heard that it was the Lord, he girt
his fisher's coat unto him, (for he
was naked,) and did cast himself into
the sea.
8 And the other disciples came In
a little ship; (for they were not far
from land, but as it were two hun
dred cubits,) dragging the net with
fishes. 9 As soon then as they were come
to la'nd, they saw a fire of coals there,
and fish laid thereon, and bread.
10 Jesus saith unto them, Bring
of the fish which ye have now
caught. 11 Simon Peter went up, and
drew the net to land full of great
fishes, an hundred and fifty and
three: and for all there were so
many, yet was not the net broken.
12 Jesus saith unto them, Corae
and dine. [And] none of the dis
ciples durst ask him. Who art thou?
knowing that it was the Lord.
13 Jesus [then] cometh, and taketh
bread, and giveth them, and fish
likewise.

S. JOHN, XXL

14 This Is now tho third time that
Jesus shewed himself to [his: the]
disciples, after that he was risen from
the dead,
15 If So when they had dined,
Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon,
son of Jonas, lovest thou me more
than these ? He saith unto hira.
Yea, Lord ; thou knowest that I
love thee. He saith unto hira, Feed
my lambs.
16 He saith to him again the
second time, Simon, son of Jonas,
lovest thou rae? He saith unto him,
Yea, Lord ; thou knowest that I love
thee. He saith unto hira. Feed my
sheep. 17 He saith unto him the third
time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest
thou me? Peter was grieved because
he said unto him the third time,
Lovest thou me ? And he said
unto hira. Lord, thou knowest all
things ; thou knowest that I love
thee, Jesus saith unto him, Feed my
sheep. 18 Verily, verily, I say unto thee.
When thou wast young, thou girdedst
thyself, and waljjedst whither thou
wouldest: but when thou shalt be
old, thou shalt stretch forth thy
hands, and another shall gird thee.

and carry thee whither thou would
est not,
19 This spake he, signifying by
what death he should glorify God,
And when he had spoken this, he
saith unto him. Follow me.
20 [Then] Peter, turning about,
seeth the disciple whora Jesus loved
following; which also leaned on his
breast at supper, and said. Lord,
which is he that betrayeth thee?
21 Peter seeing him saith to Jesus,
Lord, and what shall this man do?
22 Jesus saith unto him. If I will
that he tarry till I come, what is that
to thee? follow thou rae.
23 Then went this saying abroad
among the brethren, that that dis
ciple should not die : yet Jesus said
not unto him, He shall not die; but,
If I will that he tarry till I come,
what is that to thee?
24 This is the disciple which tes
tlfieth of these things, and wrote
these things: and we know that his
testimony Is true.
25 And there are also many other
things which Jesus did, the which, if
they should be written every one, I
suppose that even the world itself
could not contain the books that
should be written, [Amen,]

THE

ACTS OF THE APOSTLES.

CHAP. L
THE former treatise have I made,
0 Theophilus, of all that Jesus
began both to do and teach,
2 Until the day in which he was
taken up, after that he through the
Holy Ghost had given command
ments unto the apostles whom he
had chosen:
3 To whom also he shewed him
self alive after his passion by many
infallible proofs, being seen of thera
forty days, and speaking of the
things pertaining to^ the kingdom of
God: 4 And, being assembled together
with them, commanded them that
they should not depart from Jeru
salem, but wait for the promise of
the Father, which, saith he, ye have
heard of me.
5 For John truly baptized with
water; but ye shall be baptized with
the Holy Ghost not many days hence,
6 When they therefore were come
together, they asked of him, saying.
Lord, wilt thou at this time restore
again the kingdom to Israel ?
7 And he said unto them. It is
not for you to know the times or
the seasons, which the Father hath
put in his own power,
8 But ye shall receive power, after
that the Holy Ghost is come upon
you: and ye shall be witnesses unto
me both In Jerusalem, and in all

Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the
uttermost part of the earth.
9 And when he had spoken these
things, while they beheld, he was
taken up ; and a cloud received him
out of their sight.
10 And while they looked sted
fastly toward heaven as he went up,
behold, two men stood by them in
white apparel ;
11 Which also said, Ye men of
Galilee, why stand ye gazing up Into
heaven ? this same Jesus, which is
taken up frora you into heaven, shall
so come in like manner as ye have
seen him go into heaven,
12 Then returned they unto Jeru
salem from the mount called Olivet,
which is from Jerusalem a sabbath
day's journey.
13 And when they were corae in,
they went up into an upper roora,
where abode both Peter, and Jaraes,
and John, and Andrew, Philip, and
Thomas, Bartholomew, and Matthew,
James the son of Alphasus, and
Simon Zelotes, and Judas the brother
of James.14 These all continued with one
accord in prayer [and supplication],
with the women, and Mary the mother
of Jesus, and with his brethren.
15 1 And in those days Peter
stood up in the midst of the [dis
ciples: brethren], and said, (the num
ber of names together were about an
hundred and twenty,)

16 Men and brethren, [this : the]
scripture must needs have been ful
filled, which the Holy Ghost by the
mouth of David spake before con
cerning Judas, which was guide to
them that took Jesus.
17 For he was numbered with us,
and ha-d obtained part of this ministry.
18 Now this man purchased a
field with the reward of iniquity;
and falling headlong, he burst a-
sunder in the midst, and all his
bowels gushed out.
19 And it was known unto all the
dwellers at Jerusalem ; Insomuch as
that field is called in their proper
tongue, Aceldama, that is to say,
The field of blood.
20 For It Is written in the book of
Psalms, Let his habitation be deso
late, and let no man dwell therein:
and his bishopric let another take.
21 Wherefore of these men which
have companied with us all the time
that the Lord Jesus went in and out
among us,
22 Beginning from the baptism of
John, unto that same day that he
was taken up from us, must one be
ordained to be a witness with us of
his resurrection.
23 And they appointed two,
Joseph called Barsabas, who was
sumamed Justus, and Matthias.
24 And they prayed, and said,
Thou, Lord, which knowest the
hearts of all men, shew whether of
these two thou hast chosen,
25 That they may take [part: the

sound from heaven as of a rushing

3 And there appeared unto them
cloven tongues like as of fire, and It
sat upon each of them,

were in doubt, saying one to another.
What meaneth this ?
13 Others raocklng said, These
men are full of new wine.
14 If But Peter, standing up with
the eleven, lifted up his voice, and
said unto them, Ye men of Judsea,
and all ye that dwell at Jerusalem,
be this known unto you, and hearken
to my words:
15 For these are not drunken, as
ye suppose, seeing it is but the third
hour of the day.
16 But this is that which was
spoken by the prophet [Joel] ;
17 [And] it shall come to pass in
the last days, saith God, I will pour
out of my Spirit upon all fiesh: and
your sons and your daughters shall
prophesy, and your young men shall
see visions, and your old men shall
dream dreams:
18 And on my servants and on
my handmaidens I will pour out in
those days of my Spirit ; and they
shall prophesy :
19 And I will shew wonders in
heaven above, and signs in the earth
beneath ; blood, and fire, and vapour
of smoke :
20 The sun shall be turned into
darkness, and the moon into blood,
before that great and notable day of
the Lord come :

2l And it shall come to pass, that
whosoever shall call on the name of
the Lord shaU be saved.
22 Ye men of Israel, hear these
words ; Jesus of Nazareth, a man
approved of God among you by
miracles and wonders and signs,
which God did by him in the midst
of you, as ye yourselves [also] know :
23 Him, being delivered by the
determinate counsel and foreknow
ledge of God, ye [have taken, and]
[ by wicked hands :• by hand of wicked
men ] have crucified and slain :
24 Whora God hath raised up,
having loosed the pains of death:
because it was not possible that he
should be holden of it.
25 For David speaketh concern
ing him, I foresaw the Lord always
before my face, for he Is on my right
hand, that I should not be moved:
26 Therefore did my heart rejoice,
and my tongue was glad ; moreover
also my fiesh shall rest in hope:
27 Because thou wilt not leave my
soul in hell, neither wilt thou suffer
thine Holy One to see corruption,
28 Thou hast made known to me
the ways of life ; thou shalt raake me
full of joy with thy countenance,
29 Men and brethren, let me
freely speak unto you of the patri
arch David, that he is both dead and
buried, and his sepulchre Is with us
unto this day.

knowing that God had sworn with
an oath to him, that of the fruit of
his loins [, according to the flesh, he
would raise up Christ to sit: he
would seat one] on his throne ;

31 He seeing this before spake of
the resurrection of Christ, that [his
soul : he] was not left in hell, neither
his flesh did see corruption.
32 This Jesus hath God raised
up, whereof we all are witnesses.
33 Therefore being by the right
hand of God exalted, and having
received of the Father the promise
of the Holy Ghost, he hath shed
forth this, which ye [now] see and
hear. 34 For David ie not ascended into
the heavens : but he saith himself.
The LoKD said unto my Lord, Sit
thou on my right hand,
. 35 Until I make thy foes thy
footstool. 36 Therefore let all the house of
Israel know assuredly, that God hath
made that same Jesue, whom ye
have crucified, both Lord and Christ.
37 If Now when they heard this,
they were pricked in their heart, and
said nnto Peter and to the rest of
the apostles. Men and brethren, what
shall we do ?
38 Then Peter said unto them,
Repent, and be baptized every one of
you in the name of Jesus Christ for
the remission of sins, and ye shall
receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
39 For the promise Is unto you,
and to your children, and to all that
are afar off", even as many as the
Lord our God shall call.
40 And with many other words
did he testify and exhort, saying.
Save yourselves from this untoward
generation. 41 If Then they that [gladly] re
ceived his word were baptized : and

the same day there were added unto
them about three thousand souls.
42 And they continued stedfastly
in the apostles' doctrine and fellow
ship, [and] in breaking of bread, and
in prayers.
43 And fear came upon every
soul : and raany wonders and signs
were done by the apostles.
44 And all that believed Were
together, and had all things common;
45 And sold their possessions and
goods, and parted thera to all men,
as every raan had need.
46 And they, continuing daily
with one accord in the temple, and
breaking bread from house to house,
did eat their raeat with gladness aiid
singleness of heart,

6 Then Peter said, Silver and gold
have I none ; but such as I have give
I thee : In the name of Jesus Christ
of Nazareth [rise up and] walk.
7 And he took him by the right
hand, and Hfted him up : and im
mediately his feet and ancle bones
received strength.
8 And he leaping up stood, and
walked, and entered with them intcf

greatly wondering.
12 And when Peter saw it, he
answered unto the people. Ye men
of Israel, why marvel ye at this ? or
why look ye so earnestly on us, as
though by our own power or holiness
we had made this raan to walk ?

Isaac, and of Jacob, the God of our
fathers, hath glorified his Son Jesus ;

whom God hath raised from the
dead ; whereof we are witnesses.
16 And his name through faith in
his name hath made this man strong,
whom ye see and know : yea, the
faith which Is by him hath given
him this perfect soundness in the
presence of you all.
17 And now, brethren, I wot that
through Ignorance ye did it, as did
also your rulers.
18 But those things, which God
before had shewed by the mouth of
all [his: the] prophets, that [his] Christ
should suffer; he hath so fulfilled.
19 If Kepent ye therefore, and be
converted, that your sins may be
blotted out, when the times of re
freshing shall come from the presence
of the Lord ;
20 And he shall send Jesus Christ,
which [before was preached: has been
ordained] unto you:
21 Whora the heaven must re
ceive until the times of restitution of
all things, which God hath spoken
by the mouth of [all] his holy pro
phets since the world began.
22 [For] Moses truly said [unto
the fathers], A prophet shall the
Lord your God raise up unto you of
your brethren, like unto rae ; him
shall ye hear in all things whatsoever
he shall say unto you,
23 And it shall come to pass, that
every soul, which will not hear that
prophet, shall be destroyed from
among the people.

24 Yea, and all the prophets from
Samuel and those that follow after,
as many as have spoken, have like
wise [foretold : told] of these days.
25 Ye are the children of the
prophets, and of the covenant which
God made with our fathers, saying
unto Abraham, And in thy seed
shall all the kindreds of the earth be
blessed, 26 Unto you first God, having
raised up his Son [Jesus], sent hira
to bless you, in turning away every
one of you from his iniquities,
CHAP, IV.
AND as they spake unto the
people, the priests, and the
captain of the temple, and the Sad
ducees, came upon them,
2 Being grieved that they taught
the people, and preached through
Jesus the resurrection from the
dead, 3 And they laid hands on them,
and put thera in hold until the next
day : for it was now eventide,
4 Howbeit raany of them which
heard the word believed ; and the
number of the men was [about] five
thousand, 5 % And it came to pass on the
morrow, that their rulers, and elders,
and scribes,
6 And Annas the high priest, and
Caiaphas, and John, and Alexander,
and as many as were of the kindred
of the high priest, were gathered
together at Jerusalem.
7 And when they had set them
in the midst, they asked, By what
power, or by what narae, have ye
done this ?

8 Then Peter, filled with the Holy
Ghost, said unto them. Ye rulers of
the people, and elders [of Israel],
9 If we this day be examined of
the good deed done to the Impotent
man, by what means he Is made
whole ;
10 Be it known unto you all, and
to all the people of Israel, that by
\he narae of Jesus Christ of Nazareth,
whom ye crucified, whom God raised
from the dead, even by him doth
this man stand here before you
whole. 11 This is the stone which was
set at nought of you builders, which
is become the head of the corner.
12 Neither is there salvation in
any other : for there is none other
name under heaven given among
men, whereby we must be saved.
13 If Now when they saw the
boldness of Peter and John, and per
ceived that they were unlearned and
ignorant men, they marvelled ; and
they took knowledge of them, that
they had been with Jesus.
14 And beholding the man which
was healed standing with them, they
could say nothing against it.
1 5 But when they had commanded
them to go aside out of the council,
they conferred among themselves,
16 Saying, What shall we do to
these men ? for that Indeed a notable
miracle hath been done by them is
manifest to all them that dwell in
Jerusalem ; and we cannot deny it.
17 But that it spread no further
among the people, let us straitly
threaten them, that they speak hence
forth to no man in this name.

commanded [them] not to speak at
all nor teach In the name of Jesus.
19 But Peter and John answered
and said unto them, Whether it be
right in the sight of God to hearken
unto you more than unto God, judge
ye- 20 For we cannot but speak the
things which we have seen and heard.
21 So when they had further
threatened them, they let them go,
finding nothing how they might
punish them, because of the people :
for all men glorified God for that
which was done.
22 For the man was above forty
years old, on whom this miracle of
healing was shewed.
23 % And being let go, they went
to their own company, and reported
all that the chief priests and elders
had said unto them.
24 And when they heard that,
they lifted up their voice to God
with one accord, and said. Lord,
thou art [God, which hast: he that]
made heaven, and earth, and the sea,
and all that in them is :
25 Who by the mouth of thy
servant David hast said, Why did
the heathen rage, and the people
imagine vain things ?
26 The kings of the earth stood
up, and the rulers were gathered to
gether against the Lord, .and against
his Christ.
27 For of a truth [in this city]
against thy holy child Jesus, whom
thou hast anointed, both Herod, and
Pontius Plkte, with the Gentiles,
and the people of Israel, were
gathered together.
28 For to do whatsoever thy

hand and thy counsel determined
before to be done.
29 And now, Lord, behold their
threatenings : and grant unto thy
servants, that with all boldness they
may speak thy word,
30 By stretching forth thine hand
to heal ; and that signs and wonders
may be done by the name of thy
holy child Jesus.
31 If And when they had prayed,
the place was shaken where they
were assembled together ; and they
were all filled with the Holy Ghost,
and they spake the word of God
with boldness.
32 And the multitude of them
that believed were of one heart and
of one soul : neither said any of thera
that ought of the things which he
possessed was his own ; but they had
all things common.
33 And with great power gave
the apostles witness of the resurrec
tion of the Lord Jesus : and great
grace was upon them all.
34 Neither was there any among
them that lacked : for as many as
were possessors of lands or houses
sold them, and brought the prices of
the things that were sold,
35 And laid them . down at the
apostles' feet : and distribution was
made unto every man according as
he had need.
36 And [Joses: Joseph], who by
the apostles was surnamed Barnabas,
(which is, being interpreted. The son
of consolation,) a Levite, and of the
country of Cyprus,
37 Having land, sold it, and
brought the money, and laid it at
the apostles' feet.

>UT a certain man named Ana
nias, with Sapphira his wife,
sold a possession,
2 And kept back part of the
price, his wife also being privy to it,
and brought a certain part, and laid
it at the apostles' feet.
3 But Peter said, Ananias, why
hath Satan filled thine heart to He
to the Holy Ghost, and to keep back
part of the price of the land ?
4 Whiles it remained, was It not
thine own ? and after it was sold,
was it not in thine own power ? why
hast thou conceived this thing in
thine heart ? thou hast not lied unto
men, but unto God,
5 And Ananias hearing these words
fell down, and gave up the ghost :
and great fear came on all them that
heard [these things],
6 And the young men arose,
wound him up, and carried him out,
and burled hira.
7 And it was about the space of
three hours after, when his wife, not
knowing what was done, came in.
8 [And] Peter answered unto her.
Tell me whether ye sold the land for
so much? And she said. Yea, for
so much.
9 Then Peter said unto her. How
is It that ye have agreed together to
tempt the Spirit of the Lord? be
hold, the feet of them which have
buried thy husband are at the door,
and shall carry thee out.
10 Then fell she down straight
way at his feet, and yielded up the
ghost: and the young men came in,

the church, and upon as many as
heard these things,
12 If And by the hands of the
apostles were many signs and wonders
wrought among the people; (and
they were all with one accord in
Solomon's porch.
13 And of the rest durst no man
join himself to them : but the people
magnified them.
14 And believers were the more
added to the Lord, multitudes both
of men and women.)
15 Insomuch that they brought
forth the sick into the streets, and
laid thera on beds and couches, that
at the least the shadow of Peter
passing by might overshadow some
of them.
16 There came also a multitude
out of the cities round about [unto]
Jerusalem, bringing sick folks, and
them which were vexed with unclean
spirits : and they were healed every
one. 17 If Then the high priest rose up,
and all they that were with him,
(which is the sect of the Sadducees,)
and were filled with indignation,
18 And laid their hands on the
apostles, and put them in the com
mon prison.
19 But the angel of the Lord by
night opened the prison doors, and
brought them forth, and said,
20 Go, stand and speak In the
temple to the people all the words of
this life.
21 And when they heard that,
they entered into the temple early in
the morning, and taught. But the
high priest came, and they that were
with him, and called the council
together, and all the senate of the
children of Israel, and sent to the
prison to have them brought.

THE ACTS, V.

22 But when the ofEcers came,
and found them not in the prison,
they returned, and told,
23 Saying, The prison truly found
we shut with all safety, and the
keepers standing [without] before
the doors: but when we had opened,
we found no man within,
24 Now when the [high priest
and the] captain of the temple and
the chief priests heard these things,
they doubted of them whereunto
this would grow,
25 Then came one and told them,
[saying,] Behold, the men whom ye
put in prison are standing in the
temple, and teaching the people.
26 Then went the captain with
the ofEcers, and brought them with
out violence : for they feared the
people, lest they should have been
stoned, 27 And when they had brought
thera, they set them before the
council: and the high priest asked
them, 28 Saying, [Did not we: We did]
straitly command you that ye should
not teach in this name? and, behold,
ye have filled Jerusalem with your
doctrine, and intend to bring this
man's blood upon us,
29 If Then Peter and the other
apostles answered and said, We ought
to obey God rather than men,
30 The God of our fathers raised
up Jesus, whom ye slew and hanged
on a tree.
31 Him hath God exalted with
his right hand to be a Prince and a

Saviour, for to give repentance to
Israel, and forgiveness of sins,
32 And we are his witnesses of
these things ; and so Is also the Holy
Ghost, whom God hath given to
thera that obey him.
33 f When they heard that, they
were cut to the heart, and took
counsel to slay them.
34 Then stood there up one in the
council, a Pharisee, naraed Gamaliel,
a doctor of the law, had in reputa
tion among all the people, and com
manded to put the [apostles : men\
forth a little space ;
35 And said unto them, Ye men
of Israel, take heed to yourselves
what ye intend to do as touching
these men.
36 For before these days rose up
Theudas, boasting himself to be some
body; to whora a number of men,
about four hundred, joined them
selves: who was slain; and all, as
many as obeyed hira, were scattered,
and brought to nought.
37 After this man rose up Judas
of Galilee in the days of the
taxing, and drew away [much]
people after him: he also perished;
and all, even as many as obeyed him,
were dispersed.
38 And now I say unto you, Re
frain from these men, and let thera
alone : for if this counsel or this work
be of men, it will come to nought:
39 But If it be of God, ye cannot
overthrow [ it : them] ; lest haply ye be
found even to fight against God.

AND in those days, when the
number of the disciples was
multiplied, there arose a murmuring
of the Grecians against the Hebrews,
because their widows were neglected
in the daily ministration.
2 Then the twelve called the mul
titude ofthe disciples unto thera, and
said, It is -not reason that we should
leave the word of God, and serve tables.
3 Wherefore, brethren, look ye
out among you seven men of honest
report, full of the | Holy Ghost :
Spirit] and wisdom, whom we may
appoint over this business.
4 But we will give ourselves
continually to prayer, and to the
ministry of the word.
5 If And the saying pleased the
whole multitude ,: and they chose
Stephen, a man full of faith and of
the Holy Ghost, and Philip, and
Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Tiraon,
and Parmenas, and Nicolas a pro
selyte of Antioch:
6 Whom they set before the
apostles : and when they had prayed,
they laid their hands on them.

7 And the word of God Increased;
and the number of the disciples mul
tiplied in Jerusalera greatly; and a
great company of the priests were
obedient to the faith.
8 And Stephen, full of [faith:
grace] and power, did great wonders
and miracles among the people.
9 If Then there arose certain of
the synagogue, which Is called the
synagogue of the Libertines, and
Cyrenians, and Alexandrians, and of
them of Cillcia and of Asia, dis
puting with Stephen,
10 And they were not able to
resist the wisdom and the spirit by
which he spake.
11 Then they suborned men, which
said. We have heard him speak blas
phemous words against Moses, and
against God.
1 2 And they stirred up the people,
and the elders, and the scribes, and
came upon hira, and caught him, and
brought him to the council,
13 And set up false witnesses,
which said, This man ceaseth not to
speak [blasphemous] words against
[this: the] holy place, and the law:
14 For we have heard him say,
that this Jesus of Nazareth shall
destroy this place, and shall change
the customs which Moses delivered us,

2 And he said. Men, brethren,
and fathers, hearken; The God of
glory appeared unto our father Abra
ham, when he was in Mesopotamia,
before he dwelt in Charran,
3 And said unto him. Get thee
out of thy country, and frora thy
kindred, and come into the land
which I shall shew thee,
4 Then came he out of the land
of the Chaldseans, and dwelt in
Charran : and from thence, when his
father was dead, he removed him
into this land, wherein ye now dwell.
5 And he gave hira none inherit
ance in it, no, not so much as to set
his foot on : yet he promised that he
would give it to him for a possession,
and to his seed after him, when as
yet he had no child.
6 And God spake on this wise.
That his seed should sojourn in a
strange land ; and that they should
bring thera into bondage, and entreat
them evil four hundred years.
7 And the nation to whora they
shall be in bondage will I judge, said
God : and after that shall they come
forth, and serve rae in this place.
8 And he gave him the covenant
of circumcision: and so Abraham
begat Isaac, and circumcised hira
the eighth day ; and Isaac begat
Jacob; and Jacob begat the twelve
patriarchs. 9 And the patriarchs, raoved with
envy, sold Joseph into Egypt : but
God was with hira,
10 And delivered him out of all
his afflictions, and gave him favour
and wisdom in the sight of Pharaoh
king of Egypt; and he made him
governor over Egypt and all his
house. 1 1 Now there came a dearth over

all the land of Egypt and Chanaan,
and great afiiiction : and our fathers
found no sustenance.
12 But when Jacob heard that
there was corn in Egypt, he sent out
our fathers first.
13 And at the second time Joseph
was made known to his brethren;
and Joseph's kindred was made
known unto Pharaoh.
14 Then sent Joseph, and called
his father Jacob to him, and all his
kindred, threescore and fifteen souls,
15 So Jacob went down [into
Egypt], and died, he, and our
fathers, 16 And were carried over into
Sychem, and laid in the sepulchre
that Abraham bought for a sum of
money of the sons of Emmor the
father of Sychem.
17 But when the time of the
promise drew nigh, which God had
[sworn: engaged] to Abraham, the
people grew and multiplied in Egypt,
18 Till another king arose, which
knew not Joseph.
19 The sarae dealt subtilly with
our kindred, and evil entreated our
fathers, so that they cast out their
young children, to the end they
might not live.
20 In which time Moses was born,
and was exceeding fair, and nourished
up in his father's house three months :
21 And when he was cast out,
Pharaoh's daughter took him up, and
nourished him for her own son.
22 And Moses was learned in all
the 'v^isdora of the Egyptians, and
was mighty in [liis] words and [in]
deeds. 23 And when he was full forty
years old, it came into his heart to
visit his brethren the children of Israel.

24 And seeing one of them sufiPer
wrong, he defended him, and avenged
him that was oppressed, and smote

25 For he supposed his brethren
would have understood how that
God by his hand would deliver
them : but they understood not.
26 And the next day he shewed
himself unto them as they strove,
and would have set them at one
again, saying, Sirs, ye are brethren;
why do ye wrong one to another?
27 But he that did his neighbour
wrong thrust him away, saying, Who
raade thee a ruler and a judge over us?

diddest the Egyptian yesterday ?
29 Then fied Moses at this saying,

Madian, where he begat two sons.
30 And when forty years were
expired, there appeared to him in
the wilderness of mount Sina an
angel [of the Lord] in a fiame of
fire in a biisli.
31 When Moses saw it, he won
dered at the sight: and as he drew
near to behold it, the voice of the
Lord came [unto hira],
32 Saying, I ara the God of thy
fathers, the God of Abraham, and
[the God] of Isaac, and [the God] of
Jacob. 'Then Moses trembled, and
durst not behold.

house. 48 Howbeit the most High dwell
eth not [in temples made with hands :
in handwrought places] ; as saith the
prophet, 49 Heaven is my throne, and earth
is my footstool: what house will ye
build me ? saith the Lord : or what
is the place of my rest ?
50 Hath not my hand made all
these things?
51 If Ye stiffnecked and unclrcum
clsed in heart and ears, ye do always
resist the Holy Ghost : as your fathers
did, so do ye.
52 Which of the prophets have
not your fathers persecuted? and they
have slain them which shewed before
of the coming of the Just One; of
whom ye have been now the be
trayers and murderers :

53 Who have received the law by
the disposition of angels, and have
not kept it.
54 If When they heard these things,
they were cut to the heart, and they
gnashed on him with their teeth.
55 But he, being full of the Holy
Ghost, looked up stedfastly Into hea
ven, and 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 Then they cried out with a
loud voice, and stopped their ears,
and ran upon him with one accord,
58 And cast him out of the city,
and stoned him: and the witnesses
laid down their clothes at a young
man's feet, whose name was SauL
59 And they stoned 'Stephen, call
ing upon God, and saying. Lord
Jesus, receive my spirit.
60 And he kneeled down, and
cried with a loud voice. Lord, lay
not this sin to their charge. And
when he had said this, he fell asleep.
CHAP. VIIL
A ND Saul was consenting unto
-lA. his death. And at that time
there was a great persecution against
the church which was at Jerusalem;
and they were all scattered abroad
throughout the regions of Judasa and
Samaria, except the apostles.
2 And devout men carried Stephen
to his burial, and raade great laraenta-
tlon over him.
3 As for Saul, he made havoc of
the church, entering into every house,
and haling men and women com
mitted them to prison.

THE ACTS, VIIL

4 Therefore they that were scat
tered abroad went every where
preaching the word.
5 Then Philip went down to the
city of Samaria, and preached Christ
unto them.
6 And the people with one accord
gave heed unto those things which
Philip spake, hearing and seeing the
miracles which he did.
7 For unclean spirits, crying with
loud voice, carae out of many that
were possessed with thera : and many
taken with palsies, and that were
lame, were healed.
8 And there was great joy in that
city. 9 But there was a certain man,
called Simon, which beforetime in
the same city used sorcery, and
bewitched the people of Samaria,
giving out that himself was some
great one :
10 To whora they [all] gave heed,
from the least to the greatest, saying,
This man is the great [so called]
power of God.
11 And to him they had regard,
because that of long time he had
bewitched them with sorceries.
12 But when they believed Philip
preaching the things concerning the
kingdom of God, and the name of
Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both
men and women.
13 Then Simon himself believed
also: and when he was baptized, he
continued with Philip, and wondered,
beholding the miracles and signs
which were done.
14 Now when the apostles which
were at Jerusalera heard that Samaria
had received the word of God, they
sent unto them Peter and John :

15 Who, when they were come
down, prayed for them, that they
might receive the Holy Ghost :
16 (For as yet he was fallen upon
none of them: only they were bap
tized In the narae of the Lord Jesus.)
17 Then laid they their hands on
thera, and they received the Holy
Ghost. 18 And when Siraon saw that
through laying on of the apostles'
hands the [Holy Ghost: Spirit] was
given, he offered them money,
1 9 Saying, Give me also this power,
that on whomsoever I lay hands, he
may receive the Holy Ghost.
20 But Peter said unto him. Thy
money perish with thee, because thou
hast thought that the gift of God
may be purchased with money.
21 Thou hast neither part nor lot
in this matter : for thy heart is not
right in the sight of God.
22 Kepent therefore of this thy
wickedness, and pray [God : the
Lord], if perhaps the thought of
thine heart may be forgiven thee.
23 For I perceive that thou art in
the gall of bitterness, and in the bond
of iniquity.
24 Then answered Siraon, and said,
Pray ye to the Lord for me, that ^
none of these things which ye have
spoken come upon me.
25 And they, when they had testi
fied and preached the word of the
Lord, returned to Jerusalem, and
preached the gospel in many villages
of the Samaritans.
26 And the angel of the Lord
spake unto Philip, saying. Arise, and
go toward the south unto the way
that goeth down frora Jerusalem unto
Gaza, which is desert.

27 And he arose and went: and,
behold, a man of Ethiopia, an eunuch
of great authority under Candace
queen of the Ethiopians, who had
the charge of all her treasure, and had
come to Jerusalem for to worship,
28 Was returning, and sitting in
his chariot read Esaias the prophet,
29 Then the Spirit said unto
Philip, Go near, and join thyself to
this chariot.
30 And Philip ran thither to hira,
and heard him read the prophet
Esaias, and said, Understandest thou
what thou readest ?
31 And he said. How can I,
except sorae man should guide me?
And he desired Philip that he would
come up and sit with him.
32 The place of the scripture
which he read was this, He was led
as a sheep to the slaughter; and like
a lamb dumb before his shearer, so
opened he not his mouth :
33 In his humiliation his judg
ment was taken away : and who shall
declare his generation? for his life is
taken from the earth,
34 And the eunuch answered
Philip, and said, I pray thee, of
whom speaketh the prophet this ? of
himself, or of some other man ?
35 'Then Philip opened his mouth,
and began at the same scripture, and
preached unto him Jesus,
36 And as they went on their way,
they came unto a certain water: and
the eunuch said, See, here is water;
what doth hinder me to be baptized ?
37 [And Philip said. If thou be
lievest with all thine heart, thou
mayest. 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 went down
both into the water, both PhiHp and
the eunuch ; and he baptized him.
39 And when they were come up
out of the water, the Spirit of the
Lord caught away Philip, that the
eunuch saw him no raore : and he
went on his way rejoicing.
40 But Philip was found at
Azotus : and passing through he
preached in all the cities, till he came
to Ceesarea.
CHAP. IX.
AND Saul, yet breathing out
threatenings and slaughter
against the disciples of the Lord,
went unto the high priest,
2 And desired of him letters to
Damascus to the synagogues, that
if he found any of this way, whether
they were men or women, he might
bring them bound unto Jerusalem.
3 And as he journeyed, he came
near Damascus : and suddenly there
shined round about him a light from
heaven :
4 And he fell to the earth, and
heard a voice saying unto hira, Saul,
Saul, why persecutest thou rae?
5 And he said, Who art thou.
Lord? And the Lord said, I ara Jesus
whora thou persecutest : [it is hard
for thee to kick against the pricks.
6 And he trerabllng and aston
ished said, Lord, what wilt thou
have me to do? And the Lord said
unto him,] [But] Arise, and go into
the city, and it shall be told thee
what thou must do.
7 And the men which journeyed
with hira stood speechless, hearing a
voice, but seeing no man.

8 And Saul arose from the earth ;
and when his eyes were opened, he
saw no man: but they led hira by
the hand, and brought him into
Damascus. 9 And he was three days with
out sight, and neither did eat nor
drink. 10 1 And there was a certain
disciple at Damascus, named Ananias ;
and to him said the Lord in a vision,
Ananias. And he said, Behold, I
am here. Lord.
11 And the Lord said unto him.
Arise, and go into the street which
is called Straight, and enquire in the
house of Judas for one called Saul,
of Tarsus : for, behold, he prayeth,
12 And hath seen [in a vision] a
man named Ananias coming in, and
putting his hand on hira, that he
might receive his sight.
13 Then Ananias answered, Lord,
I have heard by raany of this man,
how much evil he hath done to thy
saints at Jerusalem :
14 And here he hath authority
from the chief priests to bind all that
call on thy name.
15 But the Lord said unto hira,
Go thy way : for he is a chosen vessel
unto me, to bear my name before the
Gentiles, and kings, and the children
of Israel :
16 For I will shew him how great
things he must suffer for my name's
sake. 17 And Ananias went his way,
and entered into the house; and
putting his hands on him said.
Brother Saul, the Lord, even Jesus,
that appeared unto thee In the way
as thou camest, hath sent rae, that

thou mightest receive thy sight, and
be filled with the Holy Ghost.
18 And immediately there fell
from his eyes as it had been scales :
and he received sight [forthwith],
and arose, and was baptized.
19 And when he had received
meat, he was strengthened. Then
was [Saul] certain days with the
disciples which were at Damascus,
20 And straightway he preached
[Christ: Jesus] in the synagogues,
that he is the Son of God.
21 But all that heard him were
amazed, and said ; Is not this he that
destroyed thera which called on this
name In Jerusalem, and came hither
for that intent, that he might bring
them bound unto the chief priests ?
22 But Saul increased the more in
strength, and confounded the Jews
which dwelt at Damascus, proving
that this Is very Christ,
23 If And after that raany days
were fulfilled, the Jews took counsel
to kill him :
24 But their laying await was
known of Saul, And they watched
the gates day and night to kill
him, 25 Then the disciples took him by
night, and let hira down by the wall
in a basket,
26 And when [Saul] was come to
Jerusalem, he assayed to join himself
to the disciples: but they were all
afraid of him, and believed not that
he was a disciple.
27 But Barnabas took him, and
brought him to the apostles, and
declared unto them how he had' seen
the Lord in the way, and that he had
spoken to him, and how he had

preached baldly at Damascus in the
name of Jesus.
28 And he was with them coming
in and going out at Jerusalem.
29 And he spake boldly in the
name of the Lord [Jesus], and dis
puted against the Grecians : but they
went about to slay him.
30 Which when the brethren
knew, they brought him down to
Csesarea, and sent him forth to
Tarsus. 31 Then had the [churches: church]
rest throughout all Judsea and Galilee
and Samaria, and [were: was] edified;
and walking in the fear of the Lord,
and in the comfort of the Holy Ghost,
[were: was] multiplied.
32 If And it came to pass, as Peter
passed throughout all quarters, he
came down also to the saints which
dwelt at Lydda.
33 And there he found a certain
man named .^neas, which had kept
his bed eight years, and was sick of
the palsy.
34 And Peter said unto him,
-32neas, Jesus Christ maketh thee
whole: arise, and make thy bed.
And he arose immediately.
35 And all that dwelt at Lydda
and Saron saw him, and turned to
the Lord.
36 If Now there was at Joppa a
certain disciple naraed Tabitha, which
by interpretation Is called Dorcas :
this woman was full of good works
and almsdceds which she did.
37 And it came to pass in those
days, that she was sick, and died :
whom when they had washed, they
laid her in an upper chamber.
38 And forasmuch as Lydda was

nigh to Joppa, and the disciples had
heard that Peter was there, they sent
unto him two men, desiring him that
he would not delay to come to them.
39 Then Peter arose and went
with them. When he was come,
they brought hira into the upper
chamber: and all the widows stood
by him weeping, and shewing the
coats and garments which Dorcas
made, while she was with them.
40 But Peter put them all forth,
and kneeled down, and prayed; and
turning him to the body said, Tabitha,
arise. And she opened her eyes : and
when she saw Peter, she sat up.
41 And he gave her his hand, and
lifted her up, and when he had called
the saints and widows, presented her
alive. 42 And it was known throughout
all Joppa; and raany believed in the
Lord. 43 And it came to pass, that he
tarried many days in Joppa with one
Simon a tanner.

9 If On the morrow, as they went
on their joumey, and drew nigh unto
the city, Peter went up upon the
housetop to pray about the sixth
hour :
10 And he became very hungry,
and would have eaten: but while
they made ready, he fell into a trance,
11 And saw heaven opened, and
a certain vessel descending [unto

earth :
12 Wherein were all manner of

for I have never eaten any thing that'

15 And the voice spake unto hira
again the second tlrae, What God
hath cleansed, that call not thou
common. 16 This was done thrice: and the
vessel was received up [again: straight
way] into heaven.
I'T Now while Peter doubted in
himself what this vision which he
had seen should mean, behold, the
raen which were sent from CorneHus
had made enquiry for Simon's house,
and stood before the gate,
18 And called, and asked whether
Siraon, which was surnamed Peter,
were lodged there.
19 1 While Peter thought on the
vision, the Spirit said unto him,
Behold, [three] raen seek thee.
20 Arise therefore, and get thee
down, and go with them, doubting
nothing: for I have sent them.
21 Then Peter went down to the
men [which were sent unto him frora
Cornelius]; and said, Behold, I ara
he whom ye seek : what is the cause
wherefore ye are come ?
22 And they said, Comelius the
centurion, a just man, and one that
feareth God, and of good report
among all the nation of the Jews,
was warned from God by an holy
angel to send for thee into his house,
and to hear words of thee.

together his kinsmen and near friends,
. 25 And as Peter was coming in,
Cornelius met him, and fell down at
Ids feet, f.nd worshipped him,
26 But Peter took him up, saying,
Stand up ; I myself also am a man,
27 And as he talked with him,
he went in, and found raany that
were come together,
28 And he said unto them, Ye
know how that it is an unlawful
thing for a man that is a Jew to keep
company, or come unto one of another
nation; but God hath shewed me
that I should not call any man com
mon or unclean.
29 Therefore came I unto you
•without gainsaying, as soon as I was
sent for: I ask therefore for what
intent ye have sent for me ?
30 And CorneHus said, Four days
ago 1 1 was fasting until this hour ; and
at the ninth hour I prayed : until this
hour I was making the ninth-hour
prayer] in my house, and, behold, a
man stood before me in bright clothing,
31 And said, Cornelius, thy prayer
is heard, and thine alms are had in
leraembrance in the sight of God.
32 Send therefore to Joppa, and
call hither Simon, whose surname Is
Peter ; he is lodged In tbe house of
one Simon a tanner by the sea side[:
-who, when he cometh, shall speak

33 Immediately therefore I sent
to thee; and thou hast well done
that thou art corae. Now therefore
are we all here present before God,
to hear all things that are comniaride4
thee [of God: from the Lord].
34 If Then Peter opened his mouth,
and said. Of a truth I perceive that
God is no respecter of persons :
35 But in every nation he that
feareth him, and worketh righteous
ness, is accepted with him.
36 The word which God sent

2 And when Peter was come up
to Jerusalem, they that were of the
circumcision contended with hira,
3 Saying, Thou wentest in to
men unclrcumclsed, and didst eat
with thera,
4 But Peter rehearsed the matter
from the beginning, and expounded
it by order unto thera, saying,
5 I was in the city of Joppa
praying: and in a trance I saw a
vision, A certain vessel descend, as
it had been a great sheet, let down
from heaven by four corners ; and it
came even to me :
6 Upon the which when I had
fastened mine eyes, I considered, and
saw fourfooted beasts of the earth.

and wild beasts, and creeping things,
and fowls ofthe air,
7 And I heard a voice saying
unto me, Arise, Peter; slay and eat.
8 But I said, Not so. Lord : for
nothing comraon or unclean hath at
any tlrae entered Into my mouth,
9 But the voice answered [me],
again from heaven. What God hath
cleansed, that call not thou common.
10 And this was done three times:
and all were drawn up again into
heaven, 1 1 And, behold, immediately there
were three men already come unto
the house where I was, sent from
Csesarea unto me.
12 And the spirit bade me go with
them[, nothing doubting]. More
over these six brethren accompanied ]
me, and we entered into the man's
house, 13 And he shewe'd us how he had
seen an angel in his house, which
stood and said [unto him], Send
[men] to Joppa, and call for Simon,
whose surname is Peter ;
14 Who shall tell thee weirds,
whereby thou and all thy house shall
be saved,
15 And as I began to speak, the
Holy Ghost fell on thera, as on us at
the beginning.
16 Then remerabered I the word
of the Lord, how that he said, John
indeed baptized with water ; but ye
shall be baptized with the Holy
Ghost. 17 Forasmuch then as God gave

came unto the ears of the church
which was in Jerusalera: and they
sent forth Barnabas, that he should go
as far as Antioch.
23 Who, when he came, and had
seen the grace of God, was glad, and
exhorted thera all, that with purpose
of heart they would cleave unto the
Lord. 24 For he was a good man, and
full of the Holy Ghost and of faith :
and much people was added unto the
Lord. 25 Then departed [Barnabas] to
Tarsus, for to seek Saul:
26 And when he had found him,
he brought him unto Antioch. And
it came to pass, that a whole year
they assembled theraselves with the
church, and taught much people.
And the disciples were called Chris
tians first in Antioch.
27 If And in these days came pro
phets froin Jerusalem unto Antioch.
28 And there stood up one of
them named Agabus, and signified
by the spirit that there should be

great dearth throughout all the
world: which came to pass in the
days of Claudius [Caesar].
29 Then the disciples, every man
according to his ability, determined
to send relief unto the brethren which
dwelt in Judsea:
30 Which also they did, and sent
it to the elders by the hands of Bar
nabas and Saul.

IVrOW about that time Herod the
-L^ king stretched forth his hands
to vex certain of the church,
2 And he killed James the brother
of John with the sword.
3 And because he saw it pleased
the Jews, he proceeded further to
take Peter also, (Then were the days
of unleavened bread,)
4 And when he had apprehended
hira, he put hira in prison, and de
livered him to four quaternions of
soldiers to keep him ; intending after
Easter to bring him forth to the
people, 5 Peter therefore was kept in
prison: but prayer was made with
out ceasing of the church unto God
for hira.
6 And when Herod would have
brought him fortl^ the same night
Peter was sleeping between two sol
diers, bound with two chains: and
the keepers before the door kept the
prison. 7 And, behold, the angel of the
Lord came upon him, and a light
shined in the prison: and he smote
Peter on the side, and raised hira up,
saying. Arise up quickly. And his
chains fell off from his hands,
8 And the angel said unto him,
Gird thyself, and bind on thy sandals.

And so he did. And he saith unto
him. Cast thy garment about thee,
and follow rae.
9 And he went out, and followed
[hira] ; and wist not that it was true
which was done by the angel ; but
thought he saw a vision.
10 When they were past the first
and the second ward, they carae unto
the Iron gate that leadeth unto the
city; which opened to thera of his
own accord : and they went out, and
passed on through one street ; and
forthwith the angel departed from
hira. 1 1 And when Peter was corae to
himself, he said. Now I know of a
surety, that the Lord hath sent his
angel, and hath delivered me out of
the hand of Herod, and from all the
expectation of the people of the Jews.
12 And when he had considered
the thing, he carae to the house of
Mary the mother of John, whose sur
name was Mark; where many were
gathered together praying.
13 And as Peter knocked at the
door of the gate, a damsel came to
hearken, naraed Ehoda.
14 And when she knew Peter's
voice, she opened not the gate for
gladness, but ran in, and told how
Peter stood before the gate.
15 And they said unto her. Thou
art mad. But she constantly affirmed
that it was even so. Then said they.
It is his angel.
16 But Peter continued knocking :
and when they had opened the door,
and saw him, they were astonished.
17 But he, beckoning unto them
with the hand to hold their peace,
declared [unto them] how the Lord
had brought him out of the prison.
And he said, Go shew these things

And he departed, and went into
another place.
18 Now as soon as it was day,
there was no small stir among the
soldiers, what was become of Peter,
19 And when Herod had sought
for him, and found him not, he ex
amined the keepers, and commanded
that they should be put to death.
And he went down Sfrom Judaea to
Csesarea, and there abode,
20 If And [Herod] was highly
displeased with thera of T3Te and
SIdon : but they came with one
accord to him, and, having made
Blastus the king's chamberlain their
friend, desired peace ; because their
country was nourished by the king's
country, 21 And upon a set day Herod,
arrayed in royal apparel, sat upon his
throne, and made an oration unto
thera, 22 And the people gave a shout,
saying, It is the voice of a god, and
not of a man,

not God the glory: and he was eaten

which had been brought up with
Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.
2 As they ministered to the Lord,
and fasted, the Holy Ghost said,
Separate me Barnabas and Saul for
the work whereunto I have called
them. 3 And when they had fasted and
prayed, and laid their hands on thera,
they sent them away.
4 If So they, being sent forth by the
Holy Ghost, departed unto Seleucia ;
and from thence they sailed to Cyprus,
5 And when they were at Salamis,
they preached the word of God in
the synagogues of the Jews : and
they had "also John to their minister,
6 And when they had gone through
the [entire] isle unto Paphos, they
found a certain sorcerer, a false pro
phet, a Jew, whose name was Bar-
jesus: 7 Which was with the deputy of
the country, Sergius Paulus, a pru
dent man ; who called for Bamabas
and Saul, and desired to hear the word
of God.
8 But Elymas the sorcerer (for so
is his name by interpretation) with
stood them, seeking to turn away
the deputy from the faith.
9 Then Saul, (who also is called
Paul,) filled with the Holy Ghost,
set his eyes on him,
10 And said, 0 full of all subtilty
and all mischief, thou child of the
devil, thou enemy of all righteousness,
wilt thou not cease to pervert the
right ways of the Lord ?
11 And now, behold, the hand of
the Lord is upon thee, and thou shalt
be blind, not seeing the sun for a
season. And immediately there fell
on him a mist and a darkness ; and

he went about seeking some to lead
him by the hand.
12 Then the deputy, when he saw
what was done, believed, being as
tonished at the doctrine of the Lord.
13 Now when Paul and his com
pany loosed from Paphos, they came
to Perga in Pamphylia: and John
departing from them returned to
Jerusalem. 14 If But when they departed
from Perga, they came to Antioch
in Pisidia, and went into the syna
gogue on the sabbath day, and sat
down. 15 And after the reading of the
law and the prophets the rulers of the
synagogue sent unto them, saying,
Ye men and brethren, if ye have any
word of exhortation for the people,
say on.
16 Then Paul stood up, and
beckoning with his hand said. Men
of Israel, and ye that fear God, give
audience. 17 The God of this people [of
Israel] chose our fathers, and exalted
the people when they dwelt as
strangers in the land of Egypt, and
with an high arra brought he them
out of it.
18 And about the time of forty
years [suffered he their manners: he
bore them as a nurse] in the wilderness.
19 And when he had destroyed
seven nations in the land of Chanaan,

21 And afterward they desired a
king : and God gave unto them Saul
the son of Cis, a man of the tribe of
Benjamin, by the space of forty years.
22 And when he had reraoved
him, he raised up unto them David to
be their king; to whom also he gave
testimony, and said, I have found
David the son of Jesse, a man after
mine own heart, which shall fulfil all
my will,
23 Of this man's seed hath God
according to his promise [raised:
brought] unto Israel a Saviour, Jesus :
24 When John had first preached
before his coraing the baptism of
repentance to all the people of Israel,
25 And as John fulfilled his course,
he said, Whom think ye that I am ?
I ara not he. But, behold, there
cometh one after me, whose shoes of
his feet I am not worthy to loose.
26 Men and brethren, children of
the stock of Abraham, and whosoever
among you feareth God, to you is
the word of this salvation sent.
27 For they that dwell at Jeru
salem, and their rulers, because they
knew him not, nor yet the voices of
the prophets which are read every
sabbath day, they have fulfilled them
in condemning him.
28 And though they found no
cause of death in him, yet desired
they Pilate that he should be slain.
29 And when they had fulfiUed
all that was written of him, they took
him down from the tree, and laid
him in a sepulchre.
30 But God raised him from the
dead :
31 And he was seen many days

of them which came up with him
from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are
[now] his witnesses unto the people.
32 And we declare unto you glad
tidings, how that the promise which
was raade unto the fathers,
33 God hath fulfiUed the same
[unto us their: for our] children, In
that he hath raised up Jesus again ;
as it Is also written in the [second;
first] psalm. Thou art my Son, this
day have I begotten thee.
34 And as concerning that he
raised him up frora the dead, now no
raore to retum to corruption, he said
on this wise, I will give you the sure
mercies of David.
35 Wherefore he saith also in
another psalm, Thou shalt not sufier
thine Holy One to see corruption.
36 For David, after he had served
his own generation by the will of
God, fell on sleep, and was laid unto
his fathers, and saw corruption:
37 But he, whom God raised again,
saw no corruption.
38 If Be it known unto you there-.
fore, men and brethren, that through

forgiveness of sins :

are justified from all things, from
which ye could not be justified by
the law of Moses.

42 And wlien [the Jews were gone
out of the synagogue : they had gone
out], [the Gentiles] besought that
these words might be preached to
them the next sabbath,
43 Now when the congregation
was broken up, many of the Jews
and religious proselytes followed Paul
and Barnabas: who, speaking to
them, persuaded them to continue in
the grace of God.
44 If And the next sabbath day
came almost the whole city together
to hear the word of [God: the Lord].
45 But when the Jews saw the
multitudes, they were filled with
envy, and spake against those things
which were spoken by Paul, [contra
dicting and] blaspheming.
46 Then Paul and Bamabas waxed
bold, and said. It was necessary that
the word of God should first have
been spoken to you: but seeing ye
put it from you, and judge yourselves
unworthy of everlasting life, lo, we
turn to the Gentiles.
47 For so hath the Lord com
manded us, saying, I have set thee
to be a light of the Gentiles, that
thou shouldest be for salvation unto
the ends of the earth.
, 48 And when the Gentiles heard
this, they were glad, and glorified the
word of the Lord: and as many as
were ordained to eternal life believed.
49 And the word of the Lord
was published throughout all the
region. 50 But the Jews stirred up the
devout [and] honourable women,

and the chief men of the city, and
raised persecution against Paul, and
Barnabas, and expelled them out of
their coasts.
51 But they shook off the dust of
their feet against them, and came
unto Iconium.
52 And the disciples were filled
with joy, and with the Holy Ghost.
CHAP. XIV.
A ND it came to pass in Iconium,
-lA. that they went both together
into the synagogue of the Jews, and
so spake, that a great multitude both
of the Jews and also of the Greeks
believed. 2 But the unbelieving Jews stirred
up the Gentiles, and made their minds
evil affected against the brethren.
3 Long time therefore abode they
speaking boldly in the Lord, which
gave testimony unto the word of his
grace, [and granted: granting] signs
and wonders to be done by their
hands. 4 But the multitude of the city
was divided: and part held with the
Jews, and part with the apostles.
5 And when there was an assault
made both of the Gentiles, and also
of the Jews with their rulers, to use
them despitefully, and to stone them,
6 They were ware of it, and fied
unto Lystra and Derbe, cities of
Lycaonia, and unto the region that
lieth round about:
7 And there they preached the
gospel.

8 If And there sat a certain man
at Lystra, impotent in his feet, [being]
a cripple from his mother's womb,
who never had walked :
9 The same heard Paul speak:
who stedfastly beholding him, and
perceiving that he had faith to be
healed, 10 Said with a loud voice, Stand
upright on thy feet. And he leaped
and walked.
1 1 And when the people saw what
Paul had done, they Hfted up their
voices, saying In the speech of Ly
caonia, The gods are come down
to us in the likeness of men.
12 And they called Barnabas,
Jupiter ; and Paul, Mercurlus, be
cause he was the chief speaker.
13 Then the priest of Jupiter,
which was before [their : the] city,
brought oxen and garlands unto the
gates, and would have done sacrifice
with the people.
14 Which when the apostles, Bar
nabas and Paul, heard of, they rent
their clothes, and ran in among the
people, crying out,
15 And saying, Sirs, why do ye
these things? We also are men of
like passions with you, and preach
unto you that ye should turn frora
these vanities unto the living God,
which made heaven, and earth,- and
the sea, and all things that are therein :
16 Who in times past suffered all
nations to walk in their own ways.
17 Nevertheless he left not hira
self without witness, in that he did
good, and gave [us] rain from heaven,
and fruitful seasons, filling [our: your]
hearts with food and gladness.
18 And with these sayings scarce

restrained they the people, that they
had not done sacrifice unto them.
19 If And there came thither cer
tain Jews from Antioch and Iconium,
who persuaded the people, and, having
stoned Paul, drew hira out of the
city, supposing he had been dead.
20 Howbeit, as the disciples stood
round about him, he rose up, and
came into the city : and the next day
he departed with Bamabas to Derbe.,
21 And when they had preached
the gospel to that city, and had
taught raany, they returned again to
Lystra, and to Iconium, and Antioch,
22 Confirming the souls of the
disciples, and exhorting them to con-.
tinue in the faith, and that we must
through much tribulation enter into
the kingdom of God.
23 And when they had ordained
thera elders in every church, and had
prayed with fasting, they commended
thera to the Lord, on whom they
believed. 24 And after they had passed
throughout Pisidia, they came to
Pamphylia, 25 And when they had preached
the word in Perga, they went down
into Attalia:
26 And thence sailed to Antioch,
from whence they had been recom
mended to the grace of God for the
work which they fulfilled,
27 And when they were come,
and had gathered the church to
gether, they rehearsed all that God
had done with them, and how he had
opened the door of faith unto the
Gentiles, 28 And [there] they abode long
time with the disciples.

AND certain men which came
down from Judsea taught the
brethren, and said. Except ye be cir
cumcised after the manner of Moses,
ye cannot be saved.
2 When therefore Paul and Bar
nabas had no sraall dissension and
disputation with them, they deter
mined that Paul and Barnabas, and
certain other of them, should go up
to Jerusalem unto the apostles and
elders about this question.
3 And being brought on their way
by the church, they passed through
Phenice and Samaria, declaring the
conversion of the Gentiles : and they
caused great joy unto all the brethren.
4 And when they were come to
Jerusalem, they were received of the
church, and of the apostles and
elders, and they declared all things
that God had done with them.
5 But there rose up certain of the
sect of the Pharisees which believed,
saying, That it was needful to cir
cumcise them, and to command them
to keep the law of Moses.
6 If And the apostles and elders
came together for to consider of this
matter. 7 And when there had been much
disputing, Peter rose up, and said
unto them. Men and brethren, ye
know how that a good while ago
God made choice among [us: you
that the Gentiles by my mout
should hear the word of the gospe
and believe.
8 And God, which knoweth the
hearts, bare them witness, giving

[them] the Holy Ghost, even as he
did unto us ;
9 And he put no difference be
tween us and them, purifying their
hearts by faith.
10 Now therefore why tempt ye
God, to put a yoke upon the neck
of the disciples, which neither our
fathers nor we were able to bear?
11 But we believe that through
the grace of the Lord Jesus [Christ]
we shall be saved, even as they.
12 If Then all the multitude kept
silence, and gave audience to Barna
bas and Paul, declaring what miracles
and wonders God had wrought among
the Gentiles by them.
13 If And after they had held their
peace, James answered, saying, Men
and brethren, hearken unto rae :
14 Siraon hath declared how God
at the first did visit the Gentiles, to
take out of thera a people for his
name. 15 And to this agree the words of
the prophets; as it is written,
16 After this I will retum, and
will build again the tabernacle of
David, which is fallen down; and I
will build again the ruins thereof,
and I will set it up :
17 That the residue of raen might
seek after the Lord, and all the
Gentiles, upon whora my name is'
called, saith the Lord, who doeth
[ all these things.
18 Known unto God are all his
works: these things, known] from the
beginning of the world.
19 Wherefore my sentence is, that
we trouble not them, which from
among the Gentiles are turned to God :

20 But that we write unto them,
that they abstain from pollutions of
idols, and from fornication, and from
things strangled, and from blood,
21 For Moses of old time hath in
every city them that preach him,
being read in the synagogues every
sabbath day,
22 Then pleased it the apostles
and elders, with the whole church,
to send chosen raen of their own
company to Antioch with Paul and
Barnabas; namely, Judas surnamed
Barsabas, and Silas, chief men among
the brethren:
23 And they wrote letters by them
[after this manner] ; The apostles and
elders and brethren send greeting
unto the brethren which are of the
Gentiles in Antioch and Syria and
Cilicia :
24 Forasmuch as we have heard,
that certain which went out from us
have troubled you with words, sub
verting your souls, [saying, Ye must
be circumcised, and keep the law :] to
whom we gave no such commandment :
25 It seemed good unto us, being
assembled with one accord, to send
chosen men unto you with our be
loved Barnabas and Paul,
26 Men that have hazarded their
lives for the name of our Lord Jesus
Christ, 27 We have sent therefore Judas
and Silas, who shall also tell you the
same things by mouth.
28 For it seemed good to the Holy
Ghost, and to us, to lay upon you no
greater burden than [these : the] neces
sary things;

29 That ye abstain from meats
offered to idols, and from blood, and
from things strangled, and from for
nication : from which if ye keep your
selves, ye shall do well. Fare ye well,
30 So when they were dismissed,
they came to Antioch: and when
they had gathered the multitude to
gether, they delivered the epistle:
31 Which when they had read,
they rejoiced for the consolation,
32 And Judas and Silas, being
prophets also themselves, exhorted
the brethren with many words, and
confirmed thera,
33 And after they had tarried
there a space, they were let go In
peace from the brethren unto [the
apostles: those that had sent them
forth]. 34 [Notwithstanding it pleased
Silas to abide there still,]
35 Paul also and Barnabas con
tinued in Antioch, teaching and
preaching the word of the Lord,
with many others also,
36 If And sorae days after Paul
said unto Barnabas, Let us go again
and visit [our: the] brethren in every
city where we have preached the
word of the Lord, and see how
they do.
37 And Barnabas determined to
take with them John, whose sur
name was Mark.
38 But Paul thought not good to
take hira with them, who departed
frora thpm from Pamphylia, and
went not with them to the work.

THEN came he to Derbe and
Lystra: and, behold, a certain
disciple was there, naraed TImotheus,
the son of a [certain] woman, which
was a Jewess, and believed; but his
father was a Greek :
2 Which was well reported of by
the brethren that were at Lystra and
Iconium. 3 Him would Paul have to go
forth with him; and took and cir

which were in those quarters: for
they knew all that his father was a

citie^, they delivered them the de
crees for to keep, that were ordained
of the apostles and elders which were
at Jerusalem.
5 And so were the churches es
tablished in the faith, and increased
in number daily.
6 Now when they had gone
throughout Phrygia and the region
of Galatia, and were forbidden of the
Holy Ghost to preach the word in
Asia, 7 After they were come to Mysia,
they assayed to go into Bithynia:
but the Spirit [of Jesus] suffered
them not.

8 And they passing by Mysia
came down to Troas,
9 And a vision appeared to Paul
in the night; There stood a man of
Macedonia, and prayed him, saying.
Come over into Macedonia, and help
us. 10 And after he had seen the
vision, immediately we endeavoured
to go into Macedonia, assuredly
gathering that the Lord had called
us for to preach the gospel unto them,
11 Therefore loosing from Troas,
we came with a straight course to
Samothracia, and the next day to
Neapolls ;
12 And from thence to Philippi,
which is the chief city of that part of
Macedonia, and a colony: and we
were in that city abiding certain days,
13 And on the sabbath we went
out of the [city: gate] by a river
side, where prayer was wont to be
made; and we sat down, and spake
unto the women which resorted
thither, 14 If And a certain woman named
Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city
of Thyatira, which worshipped God,
heard us : whose heart the Lord
opened, that she attended unto the
things which were spoken of Paul,
15 And when she was baptized,
and her household, she besought us,
saying, If ye have judged rae to be
faithful to the Lord, corae into my
house, and abide there. And she
constrained us.
16 If And it came to pass, as we
went to prayer, a certain damsel pos
sessed with a spirit of divination met
us, which brought her masters much
gain by soothsaying:

THE ACTS, XVL

17 The same followed Paul and
us, and cried, saying. These raen are
the servants of the most high God,
which shew unto [us : you] the way
of salvation.18 And this did she many days.
But Paul, being grieved, turned and
said to the spirit, I command thee in
the narae of Jesus Christ to come
out of her. And he came out the
same hour,
19 If And when her masters saw
that the hope of their gains was
gone, they caught Paul and Silas,
and drew them into the marketplace
unto the rulers,
20 And brought them to the
magistrates, saying. These men,
being Jews, do exceedingly trouble
our city,
21 And teach customs, which are
hot lawful for us to receive, neither
to observe, being Romans.
22 And the multitude rose up to
gether against them : and the magis
trates rent off their clothes, and com
manded to beat them.
23 And when they had laid raany
stripes upon them, they cast them
into prison, charging the jailor to
keep them safely:
24 Who, having received such a
charge, thrust them into the inner
prison, and raade their feet fast in
the stocks.
25 If And at midnight Paul and
Silas prayed, and sang praises unto
God : and the prisoners heard them.
26 And suddenly there was a great
earthquake, so that the "foundations
of the prison were shaken: and im
mediately all the doors were opened,
and every one's bands were loosed.
27 And the keeper of the prison
awaking out of his sleep, and seeing
the prison doors open, he drew out
his sword, and would have killed

himself, supposing that the prisoners
had been fled.
28 But Paul cried with a loud
voice, • saying, Do thyself no harm:
for we are au here,
29 Then he called for a light, and
sprang in, and came trembling, and
fell down before Paul and Silas,
30 And brought them out, and
said, Sirs, what must I do to be
saved ?
31 And they said, Believe on the
Lord Jesus [Christ], and thou shalt
be saved, and thy house,
32 And they spake unto him the
word of the Lord, and to all that
were in his house,
33 And he took them the same
hour of the night, and washed their
stripes ; and was baptized, he and all
his, straightway,
34 And when he had brought
them into his house, he set meat
before them, and rejoiced, beheving
In God with all his house.
35 And when it was day, the
magistrates sent the Serjeants, saying,
Let those raen go.
36 And the keeper of the prison
told this saying to Paul, The magis
trates have sent to let you go : now
therefore depart, and go in peace.
37 But Paul said unto them, TheJ
have beaten us openly unconderaned,
being Romans, and have cast us into
prison; and now do they thrust us
out privily ? nay verily ; but let
them come themselves and fetch us
out. 38 And the Serjeants told these
words unto the magistrates : and
they feared, when they heard that
they were Romans.
39 And they came and besought
them, and brought them out, and
desired them to depart out of the
city.

.THE 'ACTS, XVIL

40 And they went out of the
prison, and entered into the house of
Lydia: and when they had seen the
brethren, they comforted them, and
departed,
CHAP, XVII.
"IVpOW when they had passed
-1-^ through Amphipolls and Apol-
lonia, they came to Thessalonica,
where was a synagogue of the Jews :
2 And Paul, as his manner was,
went in unto them, and three sabbath
days reasoned with them out of the
scriptures, 3 Opening and alleging, that Christ
must needs have suffered, and risen
again from the dead; and that this
Jesus, whom I preach unto you, is
Christ. 4 And some of them beHeved, and
consorted with Paul and Silas ; and of
the devout Greeks a great multitude,
and of the chief women not a few.
5 If But the Jews [which believed
not,] [moved with envy,] took unto
them certain lewd fellows of the
baser sort, and gathered a company,
and set all the city on an uproar, and
assaulted the house of Jason, and
sought to bring them out to the
people. 6 And when they found them not,
they drew Jason and certain brethren
unto the rulers of the city, crying,
These that have turned the world
upside down are corae hither also ;
7 Whom Jason hath received:
and these all do contrary to the de
crees of Csesar, saying that there is
another king, one Jesus.
8 And they troubled the people
and the rulers of the city, when they
heard these things.

security of Jason, and of the other,
they let them go,
10 If And the brethren immediately
sent away Paul and Silas by night
unto Berea; who coming thither went
Into the synagogue of the Jews.
11 These were more noble than
those in Thessalonica, in that they
received the word with all readiness
of mind, and searched the scriptures
daily, whether those things were so.
12 Therefore many of thera be
lieved; also of honourable women
which were Greeks, and of men, not
a few. 13 But when the Jews of Thessa
lonica had knowledge that the word
of God was preached of Paul at
Berea, they came thither also, and
stirred up the people.
14 And then immediately the
brethren sent away Paul to go as it
were to the sea : but Silas and
TImotheus abode there still.
15 And they that conducted Paul
brought him unto Athens: and re
ceiving a comraandment unto Silas
and TImotheus for to come to hini
with all speed, they departed.
16 If Now while Paul waited for
them at Athens, his spirit was stirred
In him, when he saw the city wholly
given to idolatry,
17 Therefore disputed he in the
synagogue with the Jews, and with
the devout persons, and in the market
daily with them that met with him,
18 Then certain philosophers of
the Epicureans, and of the Stoics,
encountered him. And some said,
What will this babbler say? other
some, He seemeth to be a setter forth
of strange gods : because he preached
[unto them] Jesus, and the resurrec
tion.

THE ACTS, XVIIL

29 Forasmuch then as we are the
offspring of God, we ought not to
think that the Godhead is Hke unto
gold, or silver, or stone, graven by
art and man's device,
30 And the times of this ignorance
God winked at ; but now commandeth
all men every where to repent:
31 Because he hath appointed a
day, in the which he will judge the
world in righteousness by that man
whom he hath ordained; whereof he
hath given assurance unto all men,
in that he hath raised him from the
dead. 32 If And when they heard of
the resurrection of the dead, some
mocked: and others said. We will
hear thee again of this matter,
33 So Paul departed from among
thera. 34 Howbeit certain men clave
unto him, and believed: among the
which was Dionysius the Areopagite,
and a woraan named Damaris, and
others with them.
CHAP. XVIIL
AFTER these things [Paul] de
parted from Athens, and came
to Corinth;
2 And found a certain Jew named
Aquila, born in Pontus, lately come
frora Italy, with his wife Priscilla;
(because that Claudius had com
manded all Jews to depart from
Rome:) and came unto them.
3 And because he was of the same
craft, he abode with them, and
wrought : for by their occupation
they were tentmakers.

1 9 And they took him , and brought
him unto Areopagus, saying, May we
know what this new doctrine, whereof
thou speakest, is?
20 For thou bringest certain strange
things to our ears: we would know
therefore what these things mean.
21 (For all the Athenians and
strangers which were there spent
their time In nothing else, but either
to tell, or to hear some new thing.)
22 If Then Paul stood in the midst
of Mars' hill, and said. Ye men of
Athens, I perceive that in all things
ye are too superstitious.
23 For as I passed by, and beheld
your devotions, I found an altar with
this inscription, TO THE UN
KNOWN GOD. |Whora:_ What]
therefore ye Ignorantly worship, [hira :
this] declare I unto you.
24 God that made the world and
all things therein, seeing that he is
Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth
not in temples made with hands ;
25 Neither Is worshipped with
men's hands, as though he needed
any thing, seeing he giveth to all
Hfe, and breath, and all things;
26 And hath made of one [blood]
all nations of men for to dwell on all
the face of the earth, and hath deter
mined the times [before] appointed,
and the bounds of their habitation ;
27 That they should seek [the
Lord: God], if haply they might
feel after him, and find hira, though
he be not far frora every one of us :
28 For in him we live, and move,
and have our being; as certain also
of your own poets have said, For we
are also his offspring.

THE ACTS, XVIII.

4 And he reasoned in the syna
gogue every sabbath, and persuaded
the Jews and the Greeks.
5 And when Silas and TImotheus
were come from Macedonia, Paul
was pressed in 'the [spirit: word], and
testified to the Jews that Jesus was
Christ. 6 And when they opposed them
selves, and blasphemed, he shook his
raiment, and said unto them, Your
blood be upon your own heads; I
am clean : from henceforth I will go
unto the Gentiles.
7 If And he departed thence, and
entered into a certain man's house,
named Justus, one that worshipped
God, whose house joined hard to the
synagogue. 8 And Crispus, the chief ruler of
the synagogue, believed on the Lord
¦with all his house; and many of the
Corinthians hearing believed, and
were baptized.
9 Then spake the Lord to Paul in
the night by a vision. Be not afraid,
but speak, and hold not thy peace :
10 For I am with thee, and no
man shall set on thee to hurt thee:
for I have much people in this city.
1 1 And he continued there a year
and six months, teaching the word of
God among them.
12 If And when Galllo was the
deputy of Achaia, the Jews made
insurrection with one accord against
Paul, and brought him to the judg
ment seat,
13 Saying, This fellow persuadeth
men to worship God contrary to the
law.

14 And when Paul was now
about to open his mouth, GalHo said
unto the Jews, If it were a matter of
wrong or wicked lewdness, 0 ye
Jews, reason would that I should
bear with you:
15 But if it be [a question : ques
tions] of words and names, and of
your law, look ye to it; [for] I will
be no judge of such matters.
16 And he drave them from the
judgment seat.
17 Then [all the Greeks: tliey all]
took Sosthenes, the chief ruler of the
synagogue, and beat him before the
judgment seat. And GalHo cared
for none of those things.
18 If And Paul after this tarried
there yet a good while, and then
took his leave of the brethren, and
sailed thence into Syria, and with
hira Priscilla and Aquila; having
shorn his head in Cenchrea : for he
had a vow.
19 And he came to Ephesus, and
left them there: but he himself
entered into the . synagogue, and reai-
soned with the Jews.
20 When they desired him to
tarry longer time [with thera], he
consented not ;
21 But bade them farewell, sayirig,
[I raust by all means keep this feast
that coraeth in Jerusalem: but] I
will return again unto you, if God
will. And he sailed frora Ephesus. •
22 And when he had landed at
Csesarea, and gone up, and saluted
the church, he went down to Antioch.

what then were ye baptized? And
they said. Unto John's baptism.

baptized with the baptism of repent

they should believe on him which
should come after hira, that is, on

over all the country of Galatia and
Phrygia in order, strengthening aU
the disciples.
24 If And a certain Jew naraed
Apollos, born at Alexandria, an
eloquent man, and mighty in the
scriptures, came to Ephesus.
25 This man was Instructed in
the way of the Lord ; and being
fervent in the spirit, he spake and
taught diligently the things of [the
Lord : Jesus] knowing only the bap
tism of John.
26 And he began to speak boldly
in the synagogue : whom when
Aquila and Priscilla had heard, they
took him unto them, and expounded
unto hira the way of God more
perfectly. 27 And when he was disposed to
pass into Achaia, the brethren wrote,
exhorting the disciples to receive
him : who, when he was corae, helped
them much which had believed
through grace :
28 For he mightily convinced the
Jews, and that publicly, shewing
by the scriptures that Jesus was
Christ.
CHAP. XIX.
AND it came to pass, that, while
Apollos was at Corinth, Paul
having passed through the upper
coasts carae to Ephesus: and finding
certain disciples,

believed ? And they said unto him,
We have not so much as heard
whether there be any Holy Ghost.

Jesus.
len they heard this, they were
baptized in the narae of the Lord
Jesus. 6 And when Paul had laid his
hands upon thera, the Holy Ghost
came on them ; and they spake with
tongues, and prophesied.
7 And all the men were about
twelve. 8 And he went Into the synagogue)
and spake boldly for the space of ¦
three months, disputing and per
suading [the things] concerning the
kingdom of God.
9 But when divers were hardened,
and believed not, but spake evil of
that way before the multitude, he
departed from them, and separated
the disciples, disputing daily in the
school of [one] Tyrannus.
10 And this continued by the
space of two years ; so that all they
which dwelt in Asia heard the word
of the Lord [Jesus], both Jews and
Greeks. 11 And God wrought special
miracles by the hands of Paul :
12 So that from his body were
brought unto the sick handkerchiefs
or aprons, and the diseases departed
from them, and the evil spirits
went out [of them] .

THE ACTS, XIX;

1 3 IT Then certain of the vagabond
Jews, exorcists, [afeo] took upon
them to call over them which had
evil spirits the name of the Lord
Jesus I saying. We adjure you by
Jesus whom Paul preacheth.
• 14 And there were seven sons of
one Sceva, p, Jew, and chief of the
priests, which did so.
' 15 And the evil spirit answered
and said, Jesus I know, and Paul I
know; but who are ye ?
16 And the man in whom the evil
spirit was leaped on them, and over
came [them : both], and prevailed
against them, so that they fled out of
that house naked and wounded,
• 17 And this was known to all the
Jews and Greeks also dwelling at
Ephesus; and fear fell on thera all,
and the name of the Lord Jesus was
magnified, - 18 And many that believed came,
and confessed, and shewed their deeds.
19 Many of them also which used
curious arts brought their books
together, and burned thera before all
men : and they counted the price of
them, and found it fifty thousand
pieces of silver.
20 So mightily grew the word of
God and prevailed.
, 21 If After these things were ended,
Paul purposed in the spirit, when he
had passed through Macedonia and
Achaia, to go to Jerusalem, saying,
After I have been there, I must also
see Rome.
22 So he sent into Macedonia two
of them that ministered unto him,
TImotheus and Erastus; but he him
self stayed in Asia for a season,
23 And the same time there arose
no small stir about that way.
24 For a certain man named

Demetrius, a silversmith, which made
silver shrines for Diana, brought no
small gain unto the craftsmen ;
25 Whom he called together with
the workmen of like occupation, and
said. Sirs, ye know that by this craft
we ,have our wealth.
26 Moreover ye see and hear, that ;
not alone at Ephesus, but almost
throughout all Asia, this Paul hath
persuaded and turned away much
people, saying, that they be no gods,
which are made with hands :
27 So that not only this our craft
is in danger to be set at nought ; but
also that the temple of the great
goddess Diana should be despised,
and her magnificence should be de
stroyed, whom all Asia and the world
worshippeth. 28 Arid when they heard these
sayings, they were full of wrath, and
cried out, saying, Great is Diana of
the Ephesians,
29 And the [whole] city was
filled with confusion: and having
caught Gaius and Aristarchus, men
of Macedonia, Paul's companions In
travel, they rushed with one accord
into the theatre,
30 And when Paul would have
entered in unto the people, the dis-
ciples sufiered him not,
31 And certain of the chief of
Asia, which were his friends, sent
unto him, desiring hira that he would
not adventure himself into the theatre.
32 Some therefore cried one thing,
and sorae another : for the assembly
was confused ; and the more part
knew not wherefore they were come
together. 33 And they drew Alexander out
of the multitude, the Jews puttinghim
forward. And Alexander beckoned

with the hand, and would have
made his defence unto the people.
34 But when they knew that he
was a Jew, all with one voice about
the space of two hours cried out,
Great is Diana of the Ephesians.
35 And when the townclerk had
appeased the people, he said. Ye men
of Ephesus, what man is there that
knoweth not how that the city of
the Ephesians is a worshipper of the
great [goddess] Diana, and of the
image which fell down from Jupiter?
36 Seeing then that these things
cannot be spoken against, ye ought
to be quiet, and to do nothing rashly.
37 For ye have brought hither
these men, which are neither robbers
of churches, nor yet blasphemers of
your goddess.
38 Wherefore if Demetrius, and
the craftsmen which are with hira,
have a matter against any man, the
law is open, and there are deputies:
let them implead one another.
39 But if ye enquire any thing
[concerning other matters: further]
it shall be determined in a lawful
assembly. 40 For we are in danger to be
called in question for this day's
uproar, there being no cause whereby
we raay give an account of this con
course. 41 And when he had thus spoken,
he dismissed the assembly.

Paul called unto him the dis

2 And when He had gone over
those parts, and had given them
much exhortation, he came into
Greece, 3 And there abode three months.
And when the. Jews laid wait for
hira, as he was about to sail into
Syria, he purposed to retum through
Macedonia. 4 And there accompanied him
Into Asia Sopater [son of Pyrrhus]
of Berea; and of the Thessalonians,
Aristarchus and Secundus; and
Gaius of Derbe, and TImotheus; and
of Asia, Tychicus and Trophimus.
5 These going before tarried for

6 And we sailed away from Phi
lippi after the days of unleavened
bread, and carae unto thera to Troas
in five days; where we abode seven
days. 7 And upon the first day of the
week, when [the disciples: we] came
together to break bread, Paul preach
ed unto them, ready to depart on the
morrow; and continued his speech
until midnight.
8 And there were many lights in
the upper chamber, where [they; we]
were gathered together.
9 And there sat in a window a
certain young man named Eutychus,
being fallen into a deep sleep: and
as Paul was long preaching, he sunk
down with sleep, and fell down from
the third loft, and was taken up dead,
10 And Paul went: down, and fell
on hira, and embracing him said,
Trouble not yourselves; for his life
is in hira.
11 When he therefore was come
up again, and had broken bread, and

eaten, and talked a long while, even
tiU break of day, so he departed,
12 And they brought the young
man alive, and were not a little
comforted, 13 If And we went before to ship,
and sailed unto Assos, there intending
to take in Paul: for so had he ap
pointed, minding himself to go afoot.
14 And when he met with us at
Assos, we took him in, and came to
Mitylene. 15 And we sailed thence, and
came the next day over against
Chios ; and the next day we arrived
at Samos, and tarried at Trogyllium ;
and the next day we carae to Miletus.
16 For Paul had deterrained to
sail by Ephesus, because he would
not spend the time in Asia : for he
hasted, if it were possible for him, to
be at Jerusalera the day of Pentecost,
17 If Aud from Miletus he sent to
Ephesus, and called the elders of
the church,
18 And when they were come to
him, he said unto them. Ye know,
from the first day that I carae into
Asia, after what raanner I have been
with you at all seasons,
19 Serving the Lord "with all
humility of mind, and with [many]
tears, and temptations, which befell
rae by the lying in wait of the Jews :
20 And how I kept back nothing
that was profitable unto you, but
have shewed you, and have taught

you pubHcly, and from house to
house, 21 Testifying both to the Jews,
and also to the Greeks, repentance
toward God, and faith toward our
Lord Jesus [Christ],
22 And now, behold, I go bound
in the spirit unto Jerusalem, not
knowing the things that shall befall
rae there:
23 Save that the Holy Ghost wit
nesseth [to me] in every city, saying
that bonds and afflictions abide me.
24 But [none of these things move
me, neither count I ray life dear:
/ count my We of no value] unto my
self, so that I might finish ray course
[with joy], and the ministry, which
I have received of the Lord Jesus,
to testify the gospel of the grace of
God. e
25 And now, behold, I know that
ye all, araong whom I have gone
preaching the kingdom [of God],
shall see my face no more,
26 Wherefore I take you to record
this day, that I am pure from the
blood of aU men.
27 For I have not shunned to
declare unto you all the counsel of
God. 28 If Take heed therefore unto
yourselves, and to all the flock, over
the which the Holy Ghost hath made
you overseers, to feed the church of
[God: the Lord], which he hath
purchased with his own blood.

lowing unto Ehodes, and from thence
unto Patara:
2 And finding a ship sailing over
unto Phenicia, we went aboard, and
set forth,
3 Now when we had discovered
Cyprus, we left it on the left hand,
and sailed into Syria, and landed at
Tyre : for there the ship was to unlade
her burden,
4 And finding disciples, we tarried
there seven days: who said to Paul
through the Spirit, that he should
not go up to Jerusalem,
5 And when we had accomplished
those days, we departed and went
our way ; and they all brought us on
our way, with wives and children,
till we were out of the city: and we
kneeled down on the shore, and
prayed, 6 And when we had taken our
leave one of another, we took ship ;
and they returned home again,
7 And when we had finished our
course frora Tyre, we carae to Ptole-
mais, and saluted the brethren, and
abode with them one day.
8 And the next, day we [that were
of PS-ul's company] departed, and
came unto Csesarea : and we entered
into the house of PhiHp the evangelist,
which was one of the seven ; and
abode with him.
9 And the same man had four
daughters, virgins, which did pro
phesy. 10 And as we tarried there many
days, there came down from Judsa a
certain prophet, named Agabus.
11 And when he was come unto
us, he took Paul's girdle, and bound
his own hands and feet, and said,
Thus saith the Holy Ghost, So shall

THE ACTS, XXI.

the Jews at Jerusalem bind the man
that owneth this girdle, and shall
deliver him into the hands of the
Gentiles. 12 And when we heard these
things, both we, and they of that
place, besought him not to go up to
Jerusalem. 13 Then Paul answered. What
mean ye to weep and to break mine
heart ? for I am ready not to be
bound only, but also to die at Jeru
salem for the name of the Lord
Jesus. 14 And when he would not be
persuaded, we ceased, saying. The
will of the Lord be done.
15 And after those days we took
up our carriages, and went up to
Jerusalem. 16 There went with us also cer
tain of the disciples of Csesarea, and
brought with them one Mnason of
Cyprus, an old disciple, with whom
we should lodge.
17 And when we were come to
Jerusalem, the brethren received us
gladly, 18 And the day following Paul
went in with us unto James ;• and
all the elders were present.
19 And when he had saluted
them, he declared particularly what
things God had wrought among the
Gentiles by his ministry.
20 And when they heard it, they
glorified [the Lord : God], and said,
unto him, Thou seest, brother, how
many thousands of Jews there are
which believe; and they are all
zealous of the law :
21 And they are informed of thee,
that thou teachest all the Jews which
are among the Gentiles to forsake

Moses, saying that they ought not to
circumcise their children, neither to
walk after the customs.
22 What Is it therefore? [the
multitude must needs corae together:
for they will : they will surely] hear
that thou art come.
23 Do therefore this that we say
to thee: We have four men which
have a vow on them ;
24 Thera take, and purify thyself
with them, and be at charges with
thera, that they may shave their
heads : and all may know that those
things, whereof they were informed
concerning thee, are nothing ; but
that thou thyself also walkest orderly,
and keepest the law.
25 As touching the Gentiles which
believe, we have written and con
cluded that they [observe no such
thing, save only that they] keep
themselves from things offered to
idols, and from blood, and from
strangled, and from fornication.
26 Then Paul took the men, and
the next day purifying himself with
them entered into the temple, to
signify the accompHshment of the
days of purification, until that an
offering should be offered for every
one of them,
27 And when the seven days were
almost ended, the Jews which were
of Asia, when they saw him in the
temple, stirred up all the people, and
laid hands on him,
28 Crying out, Men of Israel,
help : This is the man, that teacheth
all men every where against the
people, and the law, and this place:
and further brought Greeks also into
the temple, and hath polluted this
holy place.

THE ACTS, XXII.

29 (For they had seen before with
him in the city Trophimus an Ephe
sian, whom they supposed that Paul
had brought into the temple.)
30 And all the city was moved,
and the people ran together: and
they took Paul, and drew him out of
the temple: and forthwith the doors
were shut.
31 And as they went about to kill
him, tidings came unto the chief cap
tain of the band, that all Jerusalem
was in an uproar.
32 Who immediately took soldiers
and centurions, and ran down unto
them : and when they saw the chief
captain and the soldiers, they left
beating of Paul.
33 'Then the chief captain came
near, and took hira, and coraraanded
him to be bound with two chains;
and demanded who he was, and what
he had done.
34 And some cried one thing,
some another, among the multitude:
and when he could not know the
certainty for the tumult, he com
manded him to be carried into the
castle. 35 And when he came upon the
stairs, so it was^, that he was borne
of the soldiers for the violence of the
people. 36 For the multitude of the people
followed after, crying, Away with
him. 37 And as Paul was to be led
into the castle, he said unto the
chief captain. May I speak unto
thee ? Who said. Canst thou speak
Greek ?
38 Art not thou that Egyptian,
which before these days madest an
uproar, and leddest out into the wil
derness four thousand men that were
murderers? 39 But Paul said, I am a man
which am a Jew of Tarsus, a city in
Cilicia, a citizen of no mean city:

and, I beseech thee, suffer me to
speak unto the people.
40 And when he had. given him
licence, Paul stood on the stairs, and
beckoned with the hand unto the
people. And when there was made
a great silence, he spake unto them
in the Hebrew tongue, saying,
CHAP. XXII.
MEN, brethren, and fathers, hear
ye my defence which I make
now unto you.
2 (And when they heard that he
spake in the Hebrew tongue to them,
they kept the more silence : and he
saith,) 3 1 am verily a man which am a
Jew, born in Tarsus, a city in Cilicia,
yet brought up in this city at the
feet of GamaHel, and taught accord
ing to the perfect raanner of the law
of the fathers, and was zealous toward
God, as ye aU are this day.
4 And I persecuted this way unto
the death, binding and delivering
into prisons both men and women.
5 As also the high priest doth
bear me witness, and all the estate
of the elders: from whom also I
received letters unto the brethren,
and went to Damascus, to bring
them which were there bound unto
Jerusalem, for to be punished.
6 And it came to pass, that, as I
piade my journey, and was come
nigh unto Damascus about noon,
suddenly there shone frora heaven
a great Hght round about me.
7 And I fell unto the ground,
and heard a voice saying unto me,
Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou
me? 8 And I answered. Who art thou.
Lord ? And he said unto me, I am
Jesus of Nazareth, whom thou per
secutest. 9 And they that were with me

THE ACTS, XXIL

saw indeed the Ught, [and were'
afraid ;] but they heard not the voice
of bim that spake to me.
10 And I said. What shaU I do,
Lord ? And the Lord said unto me,
Arise, and go into Damascus; and
there it shall be told thee of all
things which are appointed for thee
to do.
11 And when I could not see for
the glory of that Hght, being led by
the hand of them that were with me,
I came into Damascus.
12 And one Ananias, a devout
man according to the law, having a
food report of aU the Jews which
welt there,
13 Came unto me, and stood, and
said unto me, Brother Saul, receive
thy sight. And the same hour I
looked up upon him.
14 And he said. The God of our
fathers hath chosen thee, that thou
shouldest know his will, and see that
Just One, and shouldest hear the
voice of his mouth.
15 For thou shalt be his witness
unto all men of what thou hast seen
and heard.
16 And now why tarriest thou ?
arise, and be baptized, and wash
away thy sins, calling on [the name
ofthe Lord: His name].
17 And it came to pass, that, when
I was come again to Jerusalem, even
while I prayed in the temple, I was
in a trance ;
18 And saw him saying unto me,
Make haste, and get thee quickly out
of Jerusalem: for they will not
receive thy testimony concerning
me.

19 And I said. Lord, they know
that I imprisoned and beat in every
synagogue them that believed on
thee :
20 And when the blood of thy
martyr Stephen was shed, I also was
standing by, and consenting [unto his
death], and kept the raiment of them
that slew hira.
21 And he said unto me. Depart :
for I will send thee far hence unto
the Gentiles.
22 And they gave him audience
unto this word, and then lifted up
their voices, and said. Away with
such a fellow from the earth : for it
is not fit that he should live.
23 And as they cried out, and cast
off their clothes, and threw dust into
the air,
24 The chief captain coraraanded
him to be brought into the castle, and
bade that he should be exarained by
scourging ; that he might know
wherefore they cried so against him.
25 And as they bound him with'
thongs, Paul said unto the centurion
that stood by. Is it lawful for you to
scourge a man that is a Roman, and
unconderaned ?
26 When the centurion heard that,
he went and told the chief captain
saying, [Take heed what thou doest
What art thou going to do?] for this
man is a Eoman,
27 Then the chief captain came,
and said unto him. Tell me, art thou
a Eoman ? He said. Yea.
28 And the chief captain answered.
With a great sum obtained I this
freedom. And Paul said. But I was
free born.

29 Then straightway they departed
from hira which should have examined
him : and the chief captain also was
afraid, after he knew that he was a
Eoman, and because he had bound
him. 30 On the morrow, because he
would have known the certainty
wherefore he was accused of the
Jews, he loosed hira [from his bands],
and commanded the chief priests and
all [their : the] council to appear, and
brought Paul down, and set him be
fore them. CHAP. XXIIL
AND Paul, earnestly beholding
the council, said. Men and
brethren, I have liVed in all good
conscience before God until this day.
2 And the high priest Ananias
coraraanded thera that stood by hira
to smite hira on the mouth.
3 Then said Paul unto him, God
shall smite thee, thou whited wall :
for sittest thou to judge rae after the
law, and coramandest me to be smit
ten contrary to the law ?
4 And they that stood by said,
Eevilest thou God's high priest ?
5 Then said Paul, I wist not,
brethren, that he was the high priest:
for it is written, Thou shalt not speak
evil of the ruler of thy people.
6 But when Paul perceived that
the one part were Sadducees, and the
other Pharisees, he cried out in the
council, Men and brethren, I am a
Pharisee, the son of [a Pharisee
Pharisees] : of the hope and resur

rection of the dead I am called in
question. 7 And when he had so said, there
arose a dissension between the Phari
sees and the Sadducees : and the mul
titude was divided.
8 For the Sadducees say that there
is no resurrection, neither angel, nor
spirit : but the Pharisees confess
both. 9 And there arose a great crys
and the scribes that were of the
Pharisees' part arose, and strove, say^
Ing, We find no evil in this man :
but if a spirit or an angel hath spoken
to him, [let us not fight against God,]
10 And when there arose a great
dissension, the chief captain, fearing
lest Paul should have been pulled in
pieces of them, coraraanded the sol
diers to go down, and to take him by
force frora among them, and to bring
him into the castle,
11 And the night following the
Lord stood by him, and said, Be of
good cheer, [Paul :] for as thou hast
testified of me in Jerusalem, so must
thou bear witness also at Eome,
12 And when it was day, [certain
of] the Jews banded together, and
bound theraselves under a curse, say
ing that they would neither eat nor
drink till they had killed Paul,
13 And they were raore than forty
which had made this conspiracy,
14 And they came to the chief
priests and elders, and said. We have
bound ourselves under a great curse,
that we will eat nothing until we
have slain Paul.

THE ACTS, XXIII.

, 15 Now therefore ye with the
council signify to the chief captain
that he bring him down unto you [to
morrow], as though ye would enquire
something more perfectly concerning
him : and we, or ever he come near,
are ready to kill him,
16 And when Paul's sister's son
heard of their lying in wait, he went
and entered into the castle, and told
Paul, 17 Then Paul caUed one of the
centurions unto him, and said, Bring
this young man unto the chief cap
tain : for he hath a certain thing to
tell him,
18 So he took him, and brought
him to the chief captain, and said,
Paul the prisoner called me unto him,
and prayed me to bring this young
man unto thee, who hath something
to say unto thee.
19 Then the chief captain took
him by the hand, and went with hira
aside privately, and asked him. What
is that thou hast to tell me?
20 And he said. The Jews have
¦agreed to desire thee that thou
wouldest bring down Paul to morrow
into the council, as though they
would enquire somewhat of him more
perfectly. 21 But do not thou yield unto
them : for there lie in wait for him
rof thera more than forty men, which
.have bound theraselves with an oath,
that they will neither eat nor drink
till they have kiUed hira : and now
are they ready, looking for a promise
from thee.
22 So the chief captain then let
the young man depart, and charged
him. See thou tell no man that thou
hast shewed these things to me. |

23 And he called unto him two
centurions, saying, Make ready two
hundred soldiers to go to Csesarea,
and horsemen threescore and ten,
and spearmen two hundred, at the
third hour of the night ;
24 And provide them beasts, that
they may set Paul on, and bring him
safe unto Felix the governor.
25 And he wrote a letter after this
raanner :
26 Claudius Lyslas unto the most
excellent governor Felix sendeth
greeting. 27 'Ihis man was taken of the
Jews, and should have been killed of
them: then came I with an army,
and rescued him, having understood
that he was a Eoman.
28 And when I would have known
the cause wherefore they accused him,
I brought .him forth into their coun
cil :
29 Whom I perceived to be ac
cused of questions of their law, but.
to have nothing laid to his charge
worthy of death or of bonds,
30 And when it was told me [how
that the Jews laid wait : that a plot
was about to be laid] for the man, I
sent straightway to thee, and gave
commandment to his accusers also to
say before thee what they had against
him, [Farewell.]
31 Then the soldiers, as it was
commanded thera, took Paul, and
brought hira by night to Antipatris.
32 On the morrow they left the
horsemen to go with him, and re^
turned to the castle :
33 Who, when they came to
Csesarea, and delivered the epistle to
the governor, presented Paul also
before him.

THE ACTS, XXIV.

' 34 And when [the governor] had
read the letter, he asked of what pro
vince he was. And when he under
stood that he was of CiUcia ;
35 I will hear thee, said he, when
thine accusers are also come. And
he coraraanded hira to be kept in
Herod's judgment hall.
CHAP. XXIV.
AND after five days Ananias the
high priest descended with the
elders, and with a certain orator
named TertuUus, who informed the
governor against Paul.
2 And when he was called forth,
TertuUus began to accuse him, saying.
Seeing that by thee we enjoy great
quietness, and that very worthy deeds
are done unto this nation by thy pro
vidence, 3 We accept it always, and in all
places, most noble Felix, with all
thankfulness, 4 Notwithstanding, that I be not
further tedious unto thee, I pray thee
that thou wouldest hear us of thy
clemency a few words,
5 For we have found this man a
pestilent fellow, and a mover of
sedition araong all the Jews through
out the world, and a ringleader of
the sect of the Nazarenes :
6 Who also hath gone about to
profane the temple: whom we'took,
.[and would have judged according to
our law,
7 But the chief captain Lyslas
came upon us, and with great violence
took him away out of our hands,
8 Commanding his accusers to
come unto thee:] by examining of
whom thyself mayest take knowledge
of all these things, whereof we accuse
hira.

9 And the Jews also assented,
saying that these things were so.
10 Then Paul, after that the gover
nor had beckoned unto him to speak,
answered. Forasmuch as I know that
thou hast been of many years a judge
unto this nation, I do the more cheer
fully answer for myself:
1 1 Because that thou mayest un
derstand, that there are yet but twelve
days since I went up to Jerusalem
for to worship,
12 And they neither found me In
the temple disputing with any man,
neither raising up the people, neither
in the synagogues, nor in the city:
13 Neither can they prove the
things whereof they now accuse me,
14 But this I confess unto thee,
that after the way which they call
heresy, so worship I the God of my
fathers, believing all things which are
written in the law and in the prophets:
15 And have hope toward God,
which they themselves also allow, that
there shall be a resurrection [of the
dead], both of the just and unjust,
16 And herein do I exercise my
self, to have always a conscience void ,
of offence toward God, and toward

men.

17 Now after many years I came
to bring alms to ray nation, and
offerings. 18 Whereupon certain Jews from
Asia found rae purified in the temple,
neither with multitude, nor with
tumult. 19 Who ought to have been here
before thee, and object, if they hai,
ought against me.
20 Or else let these same here
say, if they have found any evil
doing in me, while I stood before the
council.

21 Except it be for this one voice,
that I cried standing, among them.
Touching the resurrection of the dead
I am caUed in question by you this
day. 22 And [when] Felix [heard these
things], having more perfect know
ledge of that way, [he] deferred
them, and said. When Lysias the
chief captain shall come down, I will
know the uttermost of your matter,
23 And he coraraanded a cen
turion to keep [Paul: him], and to
let him have liberty, and that he
should forbid none of his acquaintance
to minister [or come] unto him.
24 And after certain days, when
Felix came with his wife Drusilla,
which was a Jewess, he sent for
Paul, and heard him concerning the
faith in Christ.
25 And as he reasoned of righteous
ness, temperance, and judgment to
come, FeHx trembled, and answered,

have a convenient season, I will call

26 He hoped also that money
should have been given him of Paul,
[that he might loose him :] wherefore
he sent for him the oftener, and com
muned with him.
27 But after two years Porcius
Festus came into Felix' room: and
Felix, willing to shew the Jews a
pleasure, left Paul bound.
CHAP. XXV,
IVTOW when Festus was come into
-L 1 the province, after three days he
ascended from Csesarea to Jerusalera.

2 Then the [high priest: chief
priests] and the chief of the Jews
informed him against Paul, and
besought him,
3 And desired favour against him,
that he would send for him to Jeru
salem, laying wait in the way to kill
him, 4 But Festus answered, that Paul
should be kept at Csesarea, and that
he himself would depart shortly
thither, 5 Let them therefore, said he,
which araong you are able, go down
with rae, and accuse this man, if
there be any wickedness in him,
6 And when he had tarried among
them [raore than : not m.ore than eight
or] ten days, he went down unto
Csesarea ; and the next day sitting on
the judgment seat commanded Paul
to be brought.
7 And when he was come, the
Jews which came down from Jerusa
lem stood round about, and laid
many and grievous complaints
[against Paul] , which they could not
prove. 8 While he answered for himself.
Neither against the law of the Jews,
neither against the temple, nor yet
against Csesar, have I offended any
thing at all.
9 But Festus, willing to do the
Jews a pleasure, answered Paul, and
said. Wilt thou go up to Jerusalem,
and there be judged of these things
before me?
10 Then said Paul, I stand at
Csesar's judgment seat, where I ought
to be judged: to the Jews have I

knowest.
11 [For if: If then] I be an
offender, or have committed any
thing worthy of death, I refuse not
to die : but if there be none of these.
things whereof these accuse me, no
man may deliver me unto them. I
appeal unto Caesar.
12 Then Festus, when he had
conferred with the council, answered,
Hast thou appealed unto Caesar? unto
Csesar shalt thou go.
13 And after certain days king
Agrippa and Bernlce came unto
Csesarea to salute Festus.
14 And when they had been there
many days, Festus declared Paul's
cause unto the king, saying. There
is a certain man left in bonds by
Felix: 15 About whom, when I was at
Jerusalem, the chief priests and the
elders of the Jews informed me,
desiring to have judgment against
hira. 16 To whom I answered. It is not
the manner of the Eomans to deliver
any man [to die], before that he
which is accused have the accusers
face to face, and have licence to
answer for himself concerning the
crime laid against him.
17 Therefore, when they were
come hither, without any delay on the
morrow I sat on the judgment seat,
and commanded the man to be brought
forth. 18 Against whom when the
accusers stood up, they brought none
accusation of such things as I sup
posed: ,
19 But had certain questions
against him of their own superstition,
^nd of one Jesus, which was dead,
whom Paul affirmed to be alive.

20 And because I doubted of such
manner of questions, I asked him
whether he would go to Jerusalem,
and there be judged of these matters,
21 But when Paul had appealed
to be reserved unto the hearing of
Augustus, I commanded him to be
kept till I might send him to Csesar.
22 Then Agrippa said unto Festus,
I would also hear the man myself.
To morrow, said he, thou shalt hear
him. 23 And on the morrow, when
Agrippa was come, and Bernlce, with
great pomp, and was entered into the
place of hearing, with the chief cap
tains, and principal men of the city,
at Festus' commandment Paul was
brought forth.
24 And Festus said, King Agrippa,
and all men which are here present
with us, ye see this man, about
whom all the raultltude of the Jews
have dealt with me, both at Jerusa
lem, and also here, crying that he
ought not to live any longer.
25 But when I found that he had
committed nothing worthy of death,
and that he himself hath appealed to
Augustus, I have deterrained to send
him. 26 Of whora I have no certain
thing to write unto ray lord. Where
fore I have brought hira forth before
you, and specially before thee, 0
king Agrippa, that, after examination
had, I might have somewhat to write.
27 For It seemeth to me unreason
able to send a prisoner, and not withal
to signify the crimes laid against him,

Thou art permitted to speak for

2 I think myself, happy, king
Agrippa, because I shall answer for
myself this day before thee touching
all the things whereof I am accused
ofthe Jews:
3 Especially because I know thee
to be expert in all customs and ques
tions which are among the Jews:
wherefore I beseech thee to hear me
patiently. 4 My manner of life from my
youth, which was at the first among
mine own nation at Jerusalem, know
all the Jews;
5 Which knew me frora the be
ginning, if they would testify, that
after the raost straitest sect of our
religion I lived a Pharisee.
6 And now I stand and am judged
for the hope of the promise raade of
God unto our fathers :
7 Unto which proraise our twelve
tribes, instantly serving God day and
night, hope to come. For which
hope's sake, [king Agrippa,] I am
accused of the Jews.
8 Why should it be thought a
thing incredible with you, that God
should raise the dead ?
9 I verily thought with myself,
that I ought to do many things con
trary to the name of Jesus of Nazareth.
10 Which thing I also did in
Jerusalem : and many of the saints
did I shut up in prison, having re
ceived authority from the chief priests ;
and when they were put to death, I
gave my voice against them.
11 And I punished thera oft in
every synagogue, and compeUed them
to blaspheme; and being exceedingly
mad against them, I persecuted them
even unto strange cities.
12 Whereupon as I went to Da
mascus with authority and commission
from the chief priests.

13 At midday, O king, I saw in
the way a Hght from heaven, above
the brightness of the sun, shining
round about me and thera which
journeyed with me.
14 And when we were all fallen
to the earth, I heard a voice speaking
unto me, [and saying] In the Hebrew-
tongue, Saul, Saul, why persecutest
thou me? it is hard for thee to kick
against the pricks.
15 And I said. Who art thou.
Lord? And [he: the Lord] said, I ara
Jesus whom thou persecutest.
16 But rise, and stand upon thy
feet: for I have appeared unto thee
for this purpose, to make thee a
minister and a witness both of these
things which thou hast seen, and of
those things in the which I will
appear unto thee;
17 Delivering thee from the peo
ple, and from the Gentiles, unto whom
now I send thee,
18 To open their eyes, and to turn
them from darkness to light, and
from the power of Satan unto God,
that they may receive forgiveness of
sins, and inheritance among them
which are sanctified by faith that is
in me.
19 Whereupon, 0 king Agrippa,
I was not disobedient unto the hea
venly vision :
20 But shewed first unto them of
Damascus, and at Jerusalem, and
throughout all the coasts of Judsea,
and then to the Gentiles, that they
should repent and turn to God, and
do works meet for repentance.
21 For these causes the Jews
caught me in the temple, and went
about to kill me.
22 Having therefore obtained help
of God, I continue unto this day,
witnessing both to small and great.

saying none other things than those
which the prophets and Moses did
say should come :
23 That Christ should suffer, and
that he should be the first that should
rise from the dead, and should shew
light [both I unto the people, and to
the Gentiles,
24 And as he thus spake for
himself, Festus said with a loud
voice, Paul, thou art beside thy
self; much learning doth make thee
mad, 25 But he said, I am not
Inad, most noble Festus; but speak
forth the words of truth and sober
ness, 26 For the king knoweth of these
things, before whom also I speak
freely : for I am persuaded that none
of these things are hidden from hira ;
for this thing was not done in a
corner, 27 King Agrippa, believest thou
the prophets? I know that thou
believest. 28 Then Agrippa said unto Paul,
Almost thou persuadest me to be a
Christian, 29 And Paul said, I would to God,
that not only thou, but also all that
hear me this day, were both almost,
and altogether such as I am, except
these bonds.
30 [And when he had thus spoken,]
the king rose up, and the governor,
and Bernlce, and they that sat with
them: 31 And when they were gone aside,
they talked between theraselves, say
ing, This man doeth nothing worthy
of death or of bonds,
32 Then said Agrippa unto Festus,
This man might have been set at
liberty, if he had not appealed unto
Csesar.

CHAP. XXVII.
AND when ..it was determined
that we should sail into Italy,
they delivered Paul and certain other
prisoners unto one named Julius, a
centurion of Augustus' band,
2 And entering into a ship of
Adramyttium, we launched, meaning
to sail by the coasts of Asia; one
Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessa
lonica, being with us.
3 And the next day we touched
at Sidon. And Julius courteously
entreated Paul, and gave him liberty
to go unto his friends to refresh him
self. 4 And when we had launched
from thence, we sailed under Cyprus,
because the winds were contrary.
5 And when we had sailed over
the sea of Cilicia and Pamphylia, we
came to Myra, a city of Lycia.
6 And there the centurion found
a ship of Alexandria sailing into Italy;
and he put us therein.
7 And when we had sailed slowly
many days, and scarce were come
over against Cnidus, the wind not
suffering us, we sailed under Crete,
over against Salmone;
8 And, hardly passing it, came
unto a place which is called The fair
havens ; nigh whereunto was the city
of Lasea.
9 Now when much time was
spent, and when sailing was now
dangerous, because the fast was now
already past, Paul admonished them,
10 And said unto them, Sirs, I
perceive that this voyage will be with
hurt and much damage, not only
of the lading and ship, but also of
our lives.
11 Nevertheless the centurion be
lieved the master and the owner of

the ship, more than those things
which were spoken by Paul.
12 And because the haven was
not commodious to winter in, the
more part advised to depart thence
also, if by any means they raight
attain to Phenice, and there to winter;
which is an haven of Crete, and lieth
toward the south west and north west.
13 And when the south wind
blew softly, supposing that they had
obtained their purpose, loosing thence,
they sailed close by Crete.
14 But not long after there arose
against it a tempestuous wind, called
[Euroclydon: Euroaquilo],
15 And when th6 ship was caught,
and could not bear up into the wind,
we let her drive.
16 And running under a certain
island which is called Clauda, we had
BQuch work to corae by the boat :
17 Which when they had taken
up, they used helps, underglrding the
ship; and, fearing lest they should
faU into the quicksands, strake sail,
and so were driven,
18 And we being exceedingly
tossed with a tempest, the next day
they lightened the ship ;
19 And the third day we cast out
with our own hands the tackling of
the ship,
20 And when neither sun nor
stars in many days appeared, and no
small tempest lay on us, all hope that
we should be saved was then taken
away. 21 But after long abstinence Paul
stood forth in the midst of them, and
said, Sirs, ye should have hearkened
unto me, and not have loosed from
Crete, and to have gained this harm
and loss.
22 And now I exhort you to be of
good cheer: for there shaU be no loss

of an;^ man's Ufe among you, but of
the ship,
23 For there stood by me this
night the angel of God, whose I am,
and whom I serve,
24 Saying, Fear not, Paul; thou
must be brought before Csesar: and,
lo, God hath given thee all thera that
sail with thee,
25 Wherefore, sirs, be of good
cheer: for I believe God, that it shall
be even as it was told me,
26 Howbeit we must be cast upon
a certain island,
27 But when the fourteenth night
was come, as we were driven up and
down in Adria, about midnight the
shipmen deemed that they drew near
to sorae country;
28 And sounded, and found it
twenty fathoras : and when they had
gone a little further, they sounded
again, and found it fifteen fathoms,
29 Then fearing lest we should
have fallen upon rocks, they cast four
anchors out of the stem, and wished
for the day.
30 And as the shipmen were about
to flee out of the ship, when they had
let down the boat into the sea, under
colour as though they would have
cast anchors out of the foreship,
31 Paul said to the centurion and
to the soldiers. Except these abide in
the ship, ye cannot be saved.
32 'Then the soldiers cut off the
ropes of the boat, and let her fall off.
33 And while the day was coming
on, Paul besought them all to take
raeat, saying. This day Is the fourteenth
day that ye have tarried and continued
fasting, having taken nothing,
34 Wherefore I pray you to take ,
some meat : for this is for your health :
for there shall not an hair [fall: he
lost] from the head of any of you.

35 And when he had thus spoken,
he took bread, and gave thanks to
God in presence of them all: and
when he had broken it, he began to
eat. 36 Then were they all of good
cheer, and they also took some meat.
37 And we were in all in the ship
two hundred threescore and sixteen
souls. 38 And when they had eaten
enough, they lightened the ship, and
cast out the wheat into the sea.
39 And when it was day, they
knew not the land: but they dis
covered a certain creek with a shore,
into the which they were minded, if
it were possible, to thrust in the ship.
40 And when they had taken up
the anchors, they comraitted thera
selves unto the sea, and loosed the
rudder bands, and hoisted up the
mainsail to the wind, and raade toward
shore. 41 And falling into a place where
two seas met, they ran the ship
aground ; and the forepart stuck fast,
and remained unmoveable, but the
hinder part was broken with the
"violence [ofthe waves].
42 And the soldiers' counsel was
to kill the prisoners, lest any of them
should swim out, and escape.
43 But the centurion, willing to
save Paul, kept them from their pur
pose; and coraraanded that they
which could swim should cast them
selves first into the sea, and get to land :
44 And the rest, some on boards,
and some on broken pieces of the
ship. And so it came to pass, that
they escaped all safe to land.
CHAP. XXVIIL
ND when [they: we] were escap-
^ ed, then [they: we] knew that
the island was called Melita.

2 And the barbarous people shewed
us no little kindness : for they kindled
a fire, and received us every one, be
cause of the present rain, and because
of the cold.
3 And when Paul had gathered a
bundle of sticks, and laid them on the
fire, there came a viper out of the
heat, and fastened on his hand.
4 And when the barbarians saw
the venomous beast hang on hij
hand, they said among themselvesj,.
No doubt this man is a murderer,
whom, though he hath escaped the
sea, yet vengeance suffereth not to live,
5 And he shook off the beast into
the fire, and felt no harm,
6 Howbeit they looked when he
should have swollen, or fallen down
dead suddenly : but after • they had
looked a great while, and saw no
harm come to him, they changed
their minds, and said that he was a
god. 7 In the same quarters were pos
sessions of the chief man of the
Island, who narae was Publlus; who
received us, and lodged us three days
courteously. 8 And it came to pass, that the
father of Publlus lay sick of a fever
and of a bloody flux : to whom Paul
entered in, and prayed, and laid his
hands on hira, and healed him.
9 So when this was done, others
also, which had diseases in the Island,
carae, and were healed :
10 Who also honoured us with
many honours; and when we de
parted, they laded us with such
things as were necessary.
1 1 And after three months we de
parted in a ship of Alexandria, which
had wintered in the isle, whose sign
was Castor and Pollux.
12 And landing at Syracuse, we
tarried there three days.

13 And from thence we fetched a
compass, and came to Ehegium: and
after one day the south wind blew,
and we came the next day to Puteoli :
14 Where we found brethren, and
were desired to tarry with them seven
days : and so we went toward Eome.
15 And from thence, when the
brethren heard of us, they came to
meet us as far as Appii forum, and The
three taverns : whom when Paul saw,
he thanked God, and took courage.
16 And when we came to Eome,
[the centurion delivered the prisoners
to the captain of the guard : but] Paul
was suffered to dwell by himself with
a soldier that kept him.
17 And it came to pass, that after
three days [Paul: he] caUed the chief
of the Jews together : and when they
were come together, he said unto
them. Men and brethren, though I
have committed nothing against the
people, or customs of our fathers, yet
was I delivered prisoner from Jerusa
lem into the hands of the Eomans.
18 Who, when they had exarained
me, would have let me go, because
there was no cause of death in me.
' 19 But when the Jews spake
against it, I was constrained to ap
peal unto Caesar; not that I had ought
to accuse my nation of.
20 For this cause therefore have I
called for you, to see you, and to speak
with you: because that for the hope
of Israel I ara bound with this chain.
21 And they said unto hira, We
neither received letters out of Judsea
concerning thee, neither any of the
brethren that carae shewed or spake
any harra of thee.
22 But we desire to hear of thee
what thou thinkest : for as concerning

this sect, we know that every where
it is spoken against.
23 And when they had appointed
him a day, there came many to him
into his lodging; to whom he ex
pounded and testified the kingdom of
God, persuading them concerning
Jesus, both out of the law of Moses,
and out of the prophets, from morn
ing till evening.
24 And some beHeved the things
which were spoken, and some beHeved
not. 25 And when they agreed not
among themselves, they departed,
after that Paul had spoken one word,
Well spake the Holy Ghost by Esaias
the prophet unto our fathers,
26 Saying, Go unto this people,
and say, Hearing ye shaU hear, and
shall not understand ; and seeing ye
shall see, and not perceive :
27 For the heart of this people is
waxed gross, and their ears are dull
of hearing, and their eyes have they
closed; lest they should see with
their eyes, and hear with their .ears,
and understand with their heart, and
should be converted, and I should
heal them.
28 Be it known therefore unto
you, that the salvation of God is sent
unto the GentUes, and that they will
hear it.
29 [And when he had said these
words, the Jews departed, and had
great reasoning among themselves.]
30 And [Paul] dwelt two whole
years in his own hired house, and
received all that came in unto him.
31 Preaching the kingdom of
God, and teaching those things which
concern the Lord Jesus Christ, with
all confidence, no man forbidding him.

THE EPISTLE OF PAUL THE APOSTLE

TO THB

ROMANS.

CHAP, I,
PAUL, a servant of Jesus Christ,
called to be an apostle, separated
unto the gospel of God,
2 (Which he had promised afore
by his prophets In the holy scriptures,)
3 Concerning his Son Jesus Christ
our Lord, which was made of the
seed of David according to the fiesh ;
4 And declared to be the Son of
God with power, according to the
spirit of hoUness, by the resurrection
from the dead :
5 By whom we have received
grace and apostleship, for obedience
to the faith among all nations, for
his name:
6 Araong whora are ye also the
called of Jesus Christ:
. 7 To all that be In Eorae, beloved
of God, called to be saints: Grace to
you and peace from God our Father,
and the Lord Jesus Christ,
8 First I thank my God through
Jesus Christ for you all, that your
faith is spoken of throughout the
whole world.
9 For God is my witness, whom I
serve with ray spirit In the gospel of
his Son, that without ceasing I make
mention of you always in my prayers ;
10 Making request, if by any
means now at length I might have a
prosperous journey by the will of God
to come unto you.
11 For I long to see you, that
I raay irapart unto you some spiritual
gift, to the end ye may be estabUshed;

12 That is, that I may be com
forted together with you by the
mutual faith both of you and me,
13 Now I would not have you
ignorant, brethren, that oftentimes
I purposed to come unto you, (but
was let hitherto,) that I niight have
sorae fruit among you also, even as
among other Gentiles,
14 I am debtor both to the Greeks,
and to the Barbarians; both to the
wise, and to the unwise.
15 So, as rauch as in me is, I am
ready to preach the gospel to you that
are at Eome also.
16 For I am not ashamed of the
gospel of [Christ] : for it is the
power of God unto salvation to every
one that believeth; to the Jew first,
and also to the Greek.
17 For therein is the righteousness
of God revealed from faith to faith:
as it is written, The just shall live by
faith. 18 For the wrath of God is re
vealed from heaven against all un
godliness and unrighteousness of men,
who hold the truth in unrighteous
ness; 19 Because that which may be
known of God is manifest in them;
for God hath shewed it unto them.
20 For the invisible things of him
from the creation of the world are
clearly seen, being understood by the
things that are made, even his eternal
power and Godhead; so that they are
without excuse:
21 Because that, when they knew

God, they glorified him not as God,
neither were thankful; but became
vain in their imaginations, and their
foolish heart was darkened,
22 Professing themselves to be
wise, they became fools,
23 And changed the glory of the
uncorruptible God into an linage
made like to corruptible raan, and to
birds, and fourfooted beasts, and
creeping things,
24 Wherefore God [also] gave
them up to uncleanness through the
lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour
their own bodies between themselves :
25 Who changed the truth of God
into a lie, and worshipped and served
the creature more than the Creator,
who is blessed for ever. Amen.
26 For this cause God gave them
up unto vile affections : for even their
women did change the natural use
into that which is against nature :
27 And likewise also the men,
leaving the natural use of the
woman, burned in their lust one
toward another; men with men
working that which is unseemly,
and receiving in themselves that
recompence of their error which was

to "retain God in their knowledge,
God gave them over to a reprobate

25 For circumcision verily profiteth ,

a breaker of the law, thy circumcision

27 And shall not uncircumcision
which is by nature, if it fulfil the law,
judge thee, who by the letter and
circumcision dost transgress the law?
28 For he is not a Jew, which is
one outwardly; neither is that cir
cumcision, which is outward In the

5 But if our unrighteousness com
mend the righteousness of God, what
shall we say? Is God unrighteous
who taketh vengeance? (I speak as a
man) 6 God forbid: for then how shall
God judge the world?
7 For if the truth of God hath'
more abounded through my lie unto
his glory; why yet am I also judged
as a sinner?
8 And not rather, (as we be slan
derously reported, and as some affirm
that we say,) Let us do evil, that
good may corae? whose damnation
is just. 9 What then? are we better than
they? No, in no wise: for we have
before proved both Jews and Gentiles,
that they are aU under sin;
10 As it is written, There is none
righteous, no, not one:
11 There is none that under
standeth, there is none that seeketh
after God.
12 They are all gone out of the
way, they are together becorae un
profitable; there is none that doeth
good, no, not one.
13 Their throat is an open sepul
chre; with their tongues they have
used deceit; the poison of asps is
imder their lips:
14 Whose mouth is full of cursing
and bitterness :
15 Their feet are swift to shed
blood :
16 Destruction and misery are in
their ways :
17 And the way of peace have
they not known :
18 There is no fear of God before
their eyes.
19 Now we know that what things
soever the law saith, it saith to them
who are under the law: that every

mouth may be stopped, and all the
world may become guilty before
God. 20 Therefore by the deeds of the
law there shall no flesh be justified in
his sight : for by the law is the know
ledge of sin.
21 But now the righteousness of
God without the law is manifested,
being witnessed by the law and the
prophets; 22 Even the righteousness of God
which is by faith of Jesus Christ
unto all and upon all them that
believe : for there is no difference :
23 For aU have sinned, and come
short of the glory of God ;
24 Being justified freely by his
grace through the redemption that is
ia Christ Jesus :
25 Whom God hath set forth to
be a propitiation through faith, in his
blood, to declare his righteousness
for the remission of sins that are
past, through the forbearance of
God; 26 To declare, I say, at this time
his righteousness : that he might be
just, and the justifier of him which
believeth [in Jesus].
27 Where is boasting then? It is
excluded. By what law ? of works?
Nay: but by the law of faith.
28 [Therefore: For] we conclude
that a man is justified by faith with
out the deeds of the law.
29 Is he the God of the Jews
only? is he not also of the Gentiles?
Yes, of the Gentiles also :
30 Seeing it is one God, which
shall justify the circumcision by
faith, and uncircuracision through
faith. 31 Do we then make void the law
through faith? God forbid : yea, we
establish the law.

WHAT shall we say then that
Abraham our father, as per
taining to the flesh, hath found?
2 ForifAbrahara were justified by
works, he hath whereof to glory; but
not before God.
3 For what saith the scripture?
Abraham beHeved God, and it was
counted unto him for righteousness.
4 Now to him that worketh is the
reward not reckoned of grace, but of
debt. 5 But to him that worketh not,
but believeth on him that justlfieth
the ungodly, his faith is counted for
righteousn.ess. 6 Even as David also descrlbeth
the blessedness ofthe man, unto whom
God Iraputeth righteousness without
works, 7 Saying, Blessed are they whose
iniquities are forgiven, and whose
sins are covered.
8 Blessed is the man to whom the
Lord will not impute sin.
9 Cometh this blessedness then
upon the circumcision only, or upon
the uncircumcision also ? for we say
that faith was reckoned to Abraham
for righteousness.
10 How was it then reckoned ?
when he was in circumcision, or in
uncircumcision? Not In circumci
sion, but In uncircumcision.
11 And he received the slo-n of
circumcision, a seal of the righteous
ness of the faith which he had yet
being uncircumcised : that he might
be the father of all them that believe,
though they be not circumcised; that
righteousness might be imputed unto
them also:

cislon only, but who also walk in the
steps of that faith of our father Abra-
hara, which he had being yet uncir
cumcised.
. 13 For the promise, that he should
be the heir of the world, was not to
Abraham, or to his seed, through the
law, but through the righteousness of
faith. 14 For if they which are of the
law be heirs, faith is made void, and
the promise made of none effect:
15 Because the law worketh wrath :
for where no law is, there is no trans
gression. 16 Therefore it is of faith, that it
might be by grace; to the end the
promise might be sure to all the seed:
not to that only which Is of the law,
but to that also which is of the faith
of Abraham; who is the father of
us all.
17 (As it is written, I have made
thee a father of many nations,) before
hira whom he believed, even God,
who quickeneth the dead, and calleth
those things which be not as though
they were.
18 Who against hope believed in
hope, that he might become the father
of raany nations, according to that
which was spoken. So shall thy seed be.
19 And being not weak In faith,
he considered [not] his own body
now dead, when he was about an
hundred years old, [neither yet: and]
the deadness of Sarah's womb:
20 He staggered not at the pro
mise of God through unbelief; but
was strong in faith, giving glory to
God; 21 [And] being fuUy persuaded
that, what he had promised, he was
able also to perform.
22 And therefore it was imputed
to him for righteousness.

EOMANS, V.

23 Now it was not written for
his sake alone, that it was imputed to
him; 24 But for us also, to whom it
shall be imputed, if we believe on
him that raised up Jesus our Lord
from the dead ;
25 Who was delivered for our
offences, and was raised again for our
justification,
CHAP. V.
THEEEFOEE being justified by
faith, [we : let us] have peace
with God through our Lord Jesus
Christ: 2 By whom also we have access
[by faith] into this grace wherein we
stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory
of God.
3 And not only so, but we glory
in tribulations also: knowing that
tribulation worketh patience;
4 And patience, experience; and
experience, hope:
5 And hope maketh not ashamed ;
because the love of God is shed abroad
in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which
is given unto us.
6 For when we were yet without
strength, in due time Christ died for
the ungodly.
7 For scarcely for a righteous man
will one die : yet peradventure for a
good man some would even dare to
die, 8 But God commendeth his love
toward us, in that, while we were yet
sinners, Christ died for us,
9 Much more then, being now
justified by his blood, we shall be
saved from wrath through him,

we were reconciled to God by the

death of his Son, much more, being
reconciled, we shall be saved by his
Ufe. 1 1 And not only so, but we also
joy in God through our Lord Jesus
Christ, by whom we have now re
ceived the atonement.
12 Wherefore, as by one man sin
entered into the world, and death by
sin; and so [death] passed upon all
raen, for that all have sinned :
13 (For until the law sin was in
the world: but sin is not iinputed
when there is no law.
14 Nevertheless death reigned from
Adam to Moses, even over thera that
had not sinned after the similitude of
Adam's transgression, who is the
figure of him that was to corae,
15 But not as the offence, so also
is the free gift. For if through the
offence of one many be dead, much
raore the grace of God, and the gift
by grace, which is by one man, Jesus
Christ, hath abounded unto many,
16 And not as it was by one that
sinned, so is the gift: for the judg
ment was by one to condemnation,
but the free gift is of raany offences
unto justification,
17 For if by one [man's] offence
death reigned by one; much more
they which receive abundance of
grace and of the gift of righteousness
shall reign in life by one, Jesus
Christ.) 18 Therefore as by the offence of
one judgment came upon all men to
condemnation; even so by the right
eousness of one the free gift came
upon all men unto justification of
life, 19 For as by one man's disobedience
many were made sinners, so by the

EOMANS, VI.

obedience of one shall many be made
righteous, 20 Moreover the law entered, that
the offence might abound. But
where sin abounded, grace did much
more abound:
21 That as sin hath reigned unto
death, even so might grace reign
through righteousness unto eternal
life by Jesus Christ our Lord.
CHAP. VI,
WHAT shaU we say then ? ShaU
we continue in sin, that grace
may abound?
2 God forbid. How shaU we, that
are dead to sin, live any longer
therein ?
3 Know ye not, that so many of
us as were baptized into Jesus Christ
were baptized into his death?
4 Therefore we are buried with
him by baptism into death : that like
as Christ was raised up from the dead
by the glory of the Father, even so
we also should walk in newness of life.
5 For if we have been planted to
gether in the likeness of his death, we
shall be also in the likeness of his
resurrection :
6 Knowing this, that our old raan
is crucified with him, that the body
of sin might be destroyed, that hence
forth we should not serve sin.
7 For he that is dead is freed from
sin. 8 Now if we be dead with Christ,
we believe that we shall also live with,
him: 9 Knowing that Christ being raised
from the dead dieth no more; death
hath no more dominion over him.
10 For in that he died, he died
unto sin once : but in that he liveth,
he liveth unto God.

11 Likewise reckon ye also your
selves [to be] dead indeed unto sin,
but alive unto God, through Jesus
Christ [our Lord].
12 Let not sin therefore reign in
your mortal body, that ye should
obey [it In] the lusts thereof.
13 Neither yield ye your members
as instruments of unrighteousness unto
sin: but yield yourselves unto God,
as those that are aUve from the dead,
and your members as instruments of
righteousness unto God.
14 For sin shall not have dominion
over you : for ye are not under the
law, but under grace.
15 W^hat then? shall we sin, be
cause we are not under the law, but
under grace ? God forbid.
16 Know ye not, that to whom ye
yield yourselves servants to obey, his
servants ye are to whom ye obey;
whether of sin unto death, or of
obedience unto righteousness?
17 But God be thanked, that ye
were the servants of sin, but ye have
obeyed from the heart that form of
doctrine which was delivered you.
18 Being then made free from
sin, ye became the servants of righte
ousness. 19 I speak after the manner of
men because of the infirmity of your
fiesh: for as ye have yielded your
merabers servants to uncleanness and
to iniquity unto iniquity; even so
now yield your members servants to
righteousness unto holiness.
20 For when ye were the servants
of sin, ye were free from righteous
ness. 21 What fruit had ye then In
those things whereof ye are now
ashamed? for the end of those things
death.

22 But now being made free from

CHAP. VII.
KNOW ye not, brethren, (for I
speak to them that know the
law,) how that the law hath dominion
over a man as long as he liveth?
2 For the woman which hath an
husband is bound by the law to her
husband so long as he liveth ; but if
the husband be dead, she is loosed
from the law of her husband.
3 So then if, while her husband
liveth, she be married to another
man, she shall be called an adulteress :
but if her husband be dead, she is
free from that law ; so that she is no
adulteress, though she be married to
another man.
4 Wherefore, my brethren, ye also
are become dead to the law by the
body of Christ; that ye should be
married to another, even to him who
is raised from the dead, that we should
bring forth fruit unto God.
5 For when we were in the fiesh,
the motions of sins, which were by
the law, did work in our members to
bring forth fruit unto death.
6 But now we are delivered from
the law, that being dead wherein we
were held ; that we should serve in
newness of spirit, and not in the old-
ness of the letter.
7 What shall we say then? Is the
law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had
not known sin, but by the law: for I
had not known lust, except the law
had said, Thou shalt not covet.

commandment, wrought in me all
manner of concupiscence. For with
out the law sin was dead,
9 For I was aUve without the law
once: but when the coramandment
carae, sin revived, and I died.
10 And the commandment, which
was ordained to life, I found to be
unto death.
11 For sin, taking occasion by the
commandment, deceived me, and by
it slew me.
12 Wherefore the law is holy, and
the commandment holy, and just, and
good. 13 Was then that which is good
made death unto rae? God forbid.
But sin, that it might appear sin,
working death in me by that which
is good ; that sin by the command
ment might become exceeding sinful.
14 For we know that the law is
spiritual : but I am carnal, sold under
sin. 15 For that which I do I allow
not: for what I would, [that] do I
not; but what I hate, that do I.
16 If then I do that which I would
not, I consent unto the law that it Is
good. ' 17 Now then it is no more I that
do it, but sin that dwelleth in rae.
18 For I know that In me (that is,-
in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing:
for to will is present with me ; but
how to perform that which is good [I
find: is] not.
19 For the good that I would I
do not : but the evil which I would
not, that I do.
20 Now if I do that I would not,
it is no more I that do it, but sin
that dwelleth in me.
21 I find then a law, that, when I
would do good, evil is present with
me.

22 For I deUght in the law of
God after the inward man :
23 But I see another law in my
members, warring against the law of
my mind, and bringing me into cap
tivity to the law of sin which is in
my merabers.
24 0 wretched man that I ara!
who shall deliver me from the body
of this death?
25 [I thank: Thanks to God
through Jesus Christ our Lord. So
then with the mind I myself serve the
law of God; but with the fiesh the
law of sin. CHAP. VIII.
THEEE is therefore now no con
demnation to them which are In
Christ Jesus, [who walk not after the
flesh, but after the Spirit.]
2 For the law of the Spirit of life
in Christ Jesus hath made me free
from the law of sin and death,
3 For what the law could not do,
in that it was weak through the
flesh, God sending his own Son In
the likeness of sinful flesh, and for
sin, condemned sin In the flesh :
4 That the righteousness of the
law might be fulfilled in us, who walk
not after the fiesh, but after the Spirit.
5 For they that are after the fiesh
do mind the things of the flesh; but
they that are after the Spirit the
things ofthe Spirit.
6 For to be carnally minded is
death ; but to be spiritually minded
is life and peace.
7 Because the carnal mind is
enmity against God: for it is not
subject to the law of God, neither
indeed can be.
8 So then they that are m the
flesh cannot please God.

9 But ye are not in the flesh, but
in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit
of God dwell in you. Now if any
man have not the Spirit of Christ, he
is none of his.
10 And if Christ be in you, the
body Is dead because of sin; but
the Spirit is life because of righteous
ness. 11 But if the Spirit of him that
raised up Jesus from the dead dwell
In you, he that raised up Christ from
the dead shall also quicken your mor
tal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth
in you.
12 Therefore, brethren, we are
debtors, not to the flesh, to live after
the flesh.
13 For if ye live after the flesh, ye
shall die: but if ye through the
Spirit do mortify the deeds of the
body, ye shall live.
14 For as many as are led by
the Spirit of God, they are the sons
of God.
15 For ye have not received the
spirit of bondage again to fear; but
ye have received the Spirit of adop
tion, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.
16 The Spirit itself beareth witness
with our spirit, that we are the
children of God:
17 And if children, then heirs;
heirs of God, and joint-heirs with
Christ ; if so be that we suffer with
him, that we may be also glorified
together. 18 For I reckon that the suffer
ings of this present time are not,
worthy to be compared with the
glory which shall be revealed In
us. 19 Forthe earnest expectation of
the creature waiteth for the manifes
tation of the sons of God.

20 For the creature was made
subject to vanity, not willingly, but
by reason of him who hath subjected
the same in hope,
2 1 Because the creature itself also
shall be delivered from the bondage
of corruption into the glorious Hberty
of the children of God.
22 For we know that the whole
creation groaneth and travaileth in
pain together until now.
23 And not only they, but our
selves also, which have the firstfruits
of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan
within ourselves, waiting for the
adoption, to wit, the redemption of
our body.
24 For we are saved by hope : but
hope that is seen is not hope: for
what a man seeth, why doth he yet
hope for?
25 But if we hope for that we see
not, then do we with patience wait
for it,
26 Likewise the Spirit also help-
eth our [infirmities : irifirmity\ : for
we know not what we should pray
for as we ought : but the Spirit itself
maketh intercession [for us] with
groanings which cannot be uttered.
27 And he that searcheth the
hearts knoweth what is the mind of
the Spirit, because he maketh inter
cession for the saints according to
the will of God.
28 And we know that all things
work together for good to them that
love God, to thera who are the called
according to his purpose.
29 For whora he did foreknow,
he also did predestinate to be con
formed to the image of his Son, that
he might be the firstborn among
many brethren.

30 Moreover whom he did pre
destinate, thera he also caUed: and
whora he called, them he also justified :
and whom he justified, them he also
glorified. 31 What shall we then say to
these things? If God be for us, who
can be against us?
32 He that spared not his own
Son, but delivered him up for us all,
how shall he not with him also freely
give us all things?
33 Who shall lay any thing to the
charge of God's elect? It is God that
justlfieth. 34 Who is he that condemneth?
It Is Christ that died, yea rather,
that is risen again, who is [even] at
the right hand of God, who also
maketh intercession for us.
35 Who shall separate us from the
love of Christ? shall tribulation, or
distress, or persecution, or famine, or
nakedness, or peril, or sword?
36 As it is written. For thy sake
we are killed all the day long; we
are accounted as sheep for the slaugh
ter. 37 Nay, in all these things we are
more than conquerors through hira
that loved us.
38 For I ara persuaded, that nei
ther death, nor life, nor angels, nor
principalities, nor powers, nor things
present, nor things to come,
39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any
other creature, shall be able to separate

2 That I have great heaviness and
continual sorrow in roj heart.
3 For I could wish that myself
were accursed from Christ for my
brethren, my kinsmen according to
the flesh :
4 Who are Israelites; to whom
pertalneth the adoption, and the
glory, and the covenants, and the
giving of the law, and the service of
God, and the proraises;
5 Whose are the fathers, and of
whom as concerning the flesh Christ
came, who Is over all, God blessed
for ever. Amen.
6 Not as though the word of God
hath taken none effect. For they
are not all Israel, which are of Israel :
7 Neither, because they are the
seed of Abraham, are they all chil
dren: but, In. Isaac shall thy seed be
called. 8 That is. They which are the
children of the flesh, these are not
the children of God: but the chil
dren of the promise are counted for
the seed.
9 For this is the word of promise.
At this time will I come, and Sarah
shall have a son.
10 And not only this; but when
Eebecca also had conceived by one,
even by our father Isaac;
11 (For the children being not
yet born, neither having done any
good or evil, that the purpose of God
according to election might stand,
not of works, but of hira that calleth;)
12 It was said unto her. The elder
shall serve the younger.
13 As it is written, Jacob have I
loved, but Esau have I hated.
14 WTiat shall we say then? Is
there unrighteousness with God? God
forbid, 15 For he saith to Moses, I will
have mercy on whom I will have
mercy, and I will have compassion
on whom I will have compassion.

16 So then it is not of him that
willeth, nor of him that runneth, but
of God that sheweth mercy,
17 For the scripture saith unto
Pharaoh, Even for this same purpose
have I raised thee up, that I might
shew my power in thee, and that my
name might be deckred throughout
all the earth.
18 Therefore hath he mercy on
whora he will have mercy, and whom
he will he hardeneth,
19 Thou wilt say then ,unto me.
Why doth he yet find fault? For
who hath resisted his will?
20 Nay but, 0 man, who art thou
that repHest against God ? Shall
the thing formed say to him that
forraed It, Why hast thou made me
thu^? .
21 Hath not the potter power
over the clay, of the same lump to
make one vessel unto honour, and
another unto dishonour?
22 What if God, willing to shew
his wrath, and to make his power
known, endured with rauch long-
suffering the vessels of wrath fitted
to destruction:
23 And that he might raake known
the riches of his glory on the vessels
of mercy, which he had afore pre
pared unto glory,
24 Even us, whom he hath called,
not of the Jews only, but also of the
Gentiles ?
25 As he saith also in Osee, I will
call them my people, which were not
my people; and her beloved, which
was not beloved,
26 And it shall corae to pass, that
in the place where it was said unto
thera. Ye are not my people; there
shall they be called the children of
the living God,
27 Esaias also crieth concerning
Israel, Though the number of the
children of Israel be as the sand of
the sea, a remnant shaU be saved:

EOMANS, X.

. 28 For [he will finish the work,
and cut it short in righteousness:
because a short work: an account,
despatching and cutting short] will
the Lord make upon the earth.
29 And as Esaias said before.
Except the Lord of Sabaoth had left
us a seed, we had been as Sodoma,
and been made Uke unto Gomorrha.
.. 30 What shaU we say then? That
the Gentiles, which followed not after
righteousness, have attained to right
eousness, even the righteousness which
is of faith.
31 But Israel, which foUowed
after the law of righteousness, hath
not attained to the law [of righteous
ness]. 32 Wherefore? Because they sought
it not by faith, but as it were by [the
works of the law: works]. [For]
they stumbled at that stumbling-stone ;
33 As it is writte'n, Behold, I lay
in Sion a stumblingstone and rock of
ofience: and [whosoever: he that] be
lieveth on him shall not be ashamed.
CHAP. X.
BEETHEEN, my heart's desire
and prayer to God for [Israel:
them] is, that they might be saved.
2 For I bear them record tlftkt
they have a zeal of God, but not
according to knowledge.
3 For they being ignorant of
God's righteousness, and going about
to establish their own [righteousness],
have not submitted themselves unto
the righteousness of God.

4 For Christ Is the end of the law
for righteousness to every one that
believeth. 5 For Moses describeth the right
eousness which is of the law. That
the man which doeth those things
shall live by [them: it].
6 But the righteousness which is
of faith speaketh on this wise. Say
not in thine heart, Who shall ascend
into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ
down from above :)
7 Or, Who shall descend into the
deep? (that is, to bring up Christ
again from the dead.)
8 But what saith it? The word is
nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and
In thy heart: that isy the word of
faith, which we preach;
, 9 That if thou shalt confess with
thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt
believe in thine heart that God hath
raised him from the dead, thou shalt
be saved.
10 For with the heart man be
lieveth unto righteousness; and with
the mouth confession is made unto
salvation. 1 1 For the scripture saith. Whoso
ever believeth on him shall not be
ashamed. 12 For there is no difference
between the Jew and the Greek : for
the same Lord over all is rich unto
all that call upon him.
13 For whosoever shall call upon
the name of the Lord shall be saved.
14 How then shall they call on
him in whom they have not believed?

EOMANS, XL

and how shall they believe in hira of
whom they have not heard? and how
shall they hear without a preacher?
15 And how shall they preach,
except they be sent? as it is written.
How beautiful are the feet of them
that preach the gospel of peace, and
bring glad tidings of good things !
16 But they have not all obeyed
the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord,
who hath believed our report?
17 So then faith cometh by hear
ing, and hearing by the word of God.
18 But I say. Have they not
heard? Yes verily, their sound went
into all the earth, and their words
unto the ends of the world.
19 But I say, Did not Israel know ?
First Moses saith, I will provoke you
to jealousy by thera that are no peo
ple, and by a foolish nation I will
anger you.
20 But Esaias is very bold, and
saith, I was found of thera that
sought rae not; I was raade manifest
unto them that asked not after me.
21 But to Israel he saith. All day
long I have stretched forth ray hands
unto a disobedient and gainsaying
people.
CHAP. XI.
I SAY then. Hath God cast away
his people? God forbid. For I
also am an Israelite, of the seed of
Abraham, ofthe tribe of Benjamin.
2 God hath not cast away his
people which he foreknew. Wot ye
not what the scripture saith of Elias ?
how he maketh intercession to God
against Israel, [saying,]
3 Lord, they have killed thy pro
phets, [and] digged down thine
altars; and I am left alone, and they
seek my life.

4 But what saith the answer of
God unto hira? I have reserved to
myself seven thousand men, who have
not bowed the knee to the image of
Baal. 5 Even so then at this present
time also there is a remnant according
to the election of grace.
6 And if by grace, then is it no
more of works : otherwise grace is no
more grace. [But if it be of works,
then is it no raore grace: otherwise
work is no raore work.]
7 What then? Israel hath not
obtained that which he seeketh for;
but the election hath obtained it, and
the rest were blinded.
8 (According as it is written, God
hath given them the spirit of slumber,
eyes that they should not see, and
ears that they should not hear;) unto
this day.
9 And David saith. Let their table
be made a snare, and a trap, and a
stumblingblock, and a ^recompence
unto them:
10 Let their eyes be darkened,
that they may not see, and bow down
their back alway.
Ill say then. Have they stumbled
that they should fall? God forbid:
Imt rather through their fall salvation
Is corae unto the Gentiles, for to pro
voke them to jealousy.
12 Now if the faU of them be the
riches of the world, and the diminish
ing of thera the riches of the Gentilesj
how much more their fulness?
13 For I speak to you Gentiles,
inasmuch as I ara the apostle of the
Gentiles, I magnify mine office:
14 If by any means I may pro
voke to emulation thera which are
my fiesh, and might save some of
them.

15 For if the casting away of
them be the reconciling of the world,
what shall the receiving of them be,
but life from the dead?
16 For if the firstfruit be holy,
the lump is also holy: and if the
root be holy, so are the branches.
17 And if some of the branches
be broken off, and thou, being a wild
olive tree, wert graffed in among
them, and with them partakest of the
root and fatness of the olive tree ;
18 Boast not against the branches.
But if thou boast, thou bearest not
the root, but the root thee.
19 Thou wilt say then. The
branches were broken off, that I
might be graffed In.
20 Well ; because of unbelief they
were broken off, and thou standest
by faith. Be not highminded, but
fear :
21 For if God spared not the
natural branches, take heed lest he
also spare not thee,
22 Behold therefore the goodness
and severity of God : on them which
fell, severity; but toward thee, good
ness [of God] , if thou , continue in
his goodness : otherwise thou also
shalt be cut off,
23 And they also, if they abide
not still in unbelief, shall be graffed
in: for God is able to graff them in
again, 24 For if thou wert cut out of the
olive tree which is wild by nature,
and wert graffed contrary to nature
into a good olive tree: how much
more shall these, which be the na
tural branches, be graffed into their
own olive tree?
25 For I would not, brethren, that
ye should be ignorant of this mys
tery, lest ye should be wise in your
own conceits; that blindness in part

is happened to Israel, untU the ful
ness of the Gentiles be come in.
26 And so aU Israel shaU. be
saved; as it is written. There shall
come out of Sion the Deliverer, [and :
he] shall turn away ungodliness from
Jacob :
27 For this is my covenant unto
thera, when I shall take away their
sins, 28 As concerning the gospel, they
are enemies for your sakes; but as
touching the election, they are be
loved for the fathers' sakes,
29 For the gifts and calUng of
God are without repentance.
30 For as ye in times past have
not believed God, yet have now ob
tained mercy through their unbelief :
31 Even so have these also now
not believed, that through your
mercy they also may obtain mercy,
32 For God hath concluded them
all in unbelief, that he might have
mercy upon all.
33 0 the depth of the riches
both of the wisdom and knowledge
of God! how unsearchable are his
judgments, and his ways past finding
out! 34 For who hath known the mind
of the Lord? or who hath been his
counseUor ?
35 Or who hath first given to him,
and it shall be recompensed unto him
again? 36 For of him, and through him,
and to him, are all things: to whom
be glory for ever. Amen.

2 And be riot conformed to this
world: but be ye transformed by the
renewing of [your mind: the], that
ye may prove what is that good, and
acceptable, and perfect, wIU of God.
3 For I say, through the grace
given unto me, to every man that is
among you, not to think of himself
more highly than he ought to think ;
but to think soberly, according as
God hath dealt to every raan the
raeasure of faith.
4 For as we have many members
in one body, and all members have
not the same ofi&ce:
5 So we, being many, are one
body in Christ, and every one mem
bers one of another.
6 Having then gifts differing ac
cording to the grace that is given to
us, whether prophecy, let us pro
phesy according to the proportion of
faith ;
7 Or ministry, let us wait on our
ministering; or he that teacheth, on
teaching; 8 Or he that exhorteth, on exhor
tation: he that giveth, let him do it
with simplicity; he that ruleth, with
diligence; he that sheweth mercy,
with cheerfulness,
9 Let love be without dlssimula-
tlouk Abhor that which is evil ;
cleave to that which is good.
10 Be kindly affectloned one to
another with brotherly love; in
honour preferring one another;
11 Not slothful In business ; fervent
in spirit; serving the Lord;
12 Eejolcing in hope; patient In
tribulation; continuing instant in
prayer ;
13 Distributing to the necessity of
saints; given to hospitality.

14 Bless them which persecute
[you] ; bless, and curse not.
.15 Eejolce with them that do
rejoice, [and] weep with them that
weep. 16 Be of the same mind one to
ward another. Mind not high things,
but condescend to men of low estate.
Be not wise in your own conceits.
17 Eecorapense to no man evil for
evil. Provide things honest in the
sight of all men.
18 If it be possible, as much as
lieth in you, live peaceably with all
raen, 19 Dearly beloved, avenge not
yourselves, but rather give place unto
wrath: for it Is written, Vengeance
is raine ; I will repay, saith the Lord.
20 [Therefore] if thine enemy
hunger, feed him ; if he thirst, give
him drink: for in so doing thou
shalt heap coals of fire on his head.
21 Be not overcome of evil, but
overcome evil with good.
CHAP. XHL
LET every soul be subject unto
the higher powers. For there

ceive to themselves damnation.
3 For rulers are not a terror to
good works, but to the evil. Wilt
thou then not be afraid ofthe power?
do that which is good, and thou shalt
have praise of the sarae :

5 Wherefore ye must needs be

for conscience sake.
6 For for this cause pay ye tribute
also: for they are God's ministers,
attending continually upon this very
thing. 7 Eender [therefore] to all their
dues: tribute to whora tribute is due;
custom to whom custom ; fear to whora
fear; honour to whom honour.
8 Owe no man any thing, but to
love one another: for he that loveth
another hath fulfilled the law.
9 For this. Thou shalt not commit
adultery. Thou shalt not kill. Thou
shalt not steal, [Thou shalt not
bear false witness,] Thou shalt not

comraandraent, it is briefiy cora-

Thou shalt love thy neighbour as

neighbour ; therefore love is the ful-

11 And that, knowing the time,
that now it is high time to awake out

12 The night is far spent, the day

that he might be Lord both of the

10 But why dost thou judge thy

nought thy brother? for we shall all

[Christ: God].
11 For it is written. As I live,
saith the Lord, every knee shall bow

12 So then every one of us shall
give account of himself to God,
13 Let us not therefore judge one

rather, that no raan put a stumbling-

brother's way,
14 I know, and ara persuaded by
the Lord Jesus, that there is nothing
unclean of itself: but to him that
esteemeth any thing to be unclean,
to hira it is unclean.
15 [But; For] if thy brother be
grieved with thy meat, now walkest
thou not charitably. Destroy not him
with thy meat, for whom Christ died,
16 Let not then your good be evil
spoken of:
17 For the kingdom of God is not
meat and drink ; but righteousness,
and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.
18 For he that in [these things;
this thing] serveth Christ is acceptable
to God, and approved of men,
19 Let us therefore follow after
the things which make for peace,
and things wherewith one raay edify
another. 20 For raeat destroy not the work
of God. All things indeed are pure ;

but it is evil for that man who eateth
with offence.
21 It is good neither to eat flesh,
nor to drink wine, nor any thing
whereby thy brother stumbleth, or
is offended, or is made weak.
22 Hast thou faith? have it to
thyself before God. Happy Is he
that condemneth not himself In that
thing which he alloweth.
23 And he that doubteth is damned
if he eat, because he eateth not of
faith : for whatsoever is not of faith

is sin.

firm the promises made unto the
fathers :
9 And that the Gentiles might
glorify God for his mercy; as it is
written, For this cause I will confess
to thee among the Gentiles, and sing

10 And again he saith, Eejolce,

aU ye Gentiles; and laud him, all ye
people, 12 And again, Esaias saith. There
shall be a root of Jesse, and he that

in him shall the Gentiles trust,
13 Now the God of hope fill you
with aU joy and peace in believing,
that ye may abound in hope, through

14 And I myself also ara persuaded

full of goodness, filled with all know

another, 15 Nevertheless, [brethren,] I have
written the more boldly unto you in
some sort, as putting you in mind,
because of the grace that is given to
me of God,
16 That I should be the minister
of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles, min
istering the gospel of God, that the
offering up of the Gentiles might be
acceptable, being sanctified by the
Holy. Ghost,
17 I have therefore whereof I may
glory through Jesus Christ in those
things which pertain to God,
18 For I will not dare to speak of
any of those things which Christ hath
not wrought by me, to make the
Gentiles obedient, by word and deed,

19 Through mighty signs and
wonders, by the power of the Spirit
[of God]; so that from Jerusalem,
and round about unto Illyrlcum, I
have fully preached the gospel of
Christ, 20 Yea, so have I strived to preach
the gospel, not where Christ was
named, lest I should build upon
another man's foundation :
21 But as it Is written. To whom
he was not spoken of, they shall see:
and they that have not hpard shall
understand, 22 For which cause also I have
been much hindered from coming to

in these parts, and having a great
desire these many years to come unto
you; 24 Whensoever I take my journey
into Spain, [I will come to you:]
for I trust to see you in my journey,
and to be brought on my way thither
ward by you, if first I be some
what filled with your company,

to minister unto the saints,
26 For it hath pleased them of
Macedonia and Achaia to make a
certain contribution for the poor
saints which are at Jerusalem,
27 It hath pleased them verily;
and their debtors they are. For if
the Gentiles have been made partakers
of their spiritual things, their duty is
also to minister unto them in carnal
things, 28 When therefore I have per

THE FIEST EPISTLE OF PAUL THE APOSTLE

TO THE

COEINTHIANS.

CHAP. I.
PAUL, called to be an apostle of
Jesus Christ through the will of
God, and Sosthenes our brother,
2 Unto the church of God which
is at Corinth, to thera that are sanc
tified in Christ Jesus, called to be
saints, with aU that in every place call
upon the narae of Jesus Christ our
Lord, both their's and our's :
3 Grace be unto you, and peace,
from God our Father, and from the
Lord Jesus Christ,
4 I thank my God always on your
behalf, for the grace of God which is
given you by Jesus Christ;
5 That in every thing ye are
enriched by him, in aU utterance,
and in all knowledge;
6 Even as the testimony of Christ
was confirmed in you:

7 So that ye come behind in no
gift; waiting for the coming of our
Lord Jesus Christ;
8 Who shall also confirm you unto
the end, that ye may be blameless in
the day of our Lord Jesus Christ,
9 God is faithful, by whom ye
were called unto the fellowship of
his Son Jesus Christ our Lord,
10 Now I beseech you, brethren,
by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ,
that ye all speak the sarae thing, and
that there be no divisions araong you;
but that ye be perfectly joined to
gether in the same mind and in the
same judgment.
11 For it hath been declared unto
me of you, my brethren, by them
which are of the house of Chloe, that
there are contentions among you.
12 Now this I say, that every one
of you saith, I am of Paul ; and I of

I. COEINTHIANS, II.

Apollos ; and I of Cephas ; and I of
Christ. 13 Is Christ divided? was Paul
crucified for yOu? or were ye bap
tized in the name of Paul ?
14 I thank God that I baptized
none of you, but Crispus and Gaius?
15 Lest any should say that [I had
baptized; ye were baptized] in mine
own name.
16 And I baptized also the house
hold of Stephanas: besides, I know
not whether I baptized any other.
17 For Christ sent me not to bap
tize, but to preach the gospel: not
with wisdom of words, lest the cross
of Christ should be made of none
effect. 18 For the preaching of the cross
Is to them that perish foolishness;
but unto us which are saved it is the
power of God.
1 9 For it is written, I will destroy
the wisdom of the wise, and will
bring to nothing the understanding
of the prudent.
20 Where is the wise? where is
the scribe? where is the disputer of
this world ? hath not God made fool
ish the wisdom of [this: the] world?
21 For after that in the wisdom
of God the world by wisdom knew
not God, it pleased God by the fool
ishness of preaching to save thera
that beHeve.
22 For the Jews require a sign,
and the Greeks seek after wisdora :
23 But we preach Christ crucified,
unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and
unto the [Greeks: Gentiles] foolish
ness;

24 But unto them which are called,
both Jews and Greeks, Christ the
power of God, and the wisdom of
God. 25 Because the foolishness of God
Is wiser than men ; and the weakness
of God is stronger than men.
26 For ye see your calling, bre
thren, how that not many wise men
after the flesh, not raany raighty, not
raany noble, are called :
27 But God hath chosen the fool
ish things of the world to confound
the wise; and God hath chosen the
weak things of the world to confound
the things which are mighty;
28 And base things of the world,
and things which are despised, hath
God chosen, [yea, and] things which
are not, to bring to nought things
that are :
29 That no flesh should glory in
[his: God's] presence.
30 But of him are ye in Christ
Jesus, who of God is made unto us
wisdom, and righteousness, and sanc
tification, and redemption:
31 That, according as it is written,
He that glorieth, let him glory in
the Lord,
CHAP, II,
AND I, brethren, when I came
to you, came not with excellency
of speech or of wisdom, declaring
unto you the testimony of God.
2 For I determined not to know
any thing araong you, save Jesus
Christ, and him crucified.
3 And I was with you in weakness,
and in fear, and in much trembling.

I, COEINTHIANS, III.

4 And my speech and my preach
ing was not with enticing words of
[man's] wisdom, but in demonstra
tion ofthe Spirit and of power;
5 That your faith should not stand
in the wisdora of raen, but in the
power of God,
6 Howbeit we speak wisdom among
them that are perfect ; yet not the wis
dom of this world, nor of the princes
of this world, that come to nought;
7 But we speak the wisdom of
God in a mystery, even the hidden
wisdom, which God. ordained before
the world unto our glory ;
8 Which none of the princes of
this world knew ; for had they known
it, they would not have crucified the
Lord of glory,
9 But as it is written, Eye hath
not seen, nor ear heard, neither have
entered into the heart of man, the
things which God hath prepared for
them that love him.
10 But God hath revealed them
unto us by [his: the] Spirit; for the
Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the
deep things of God.
11 For what man knoweth the
things of a man, save the spirit of
man which is in him? even so the
things of God knoweth no man, but
the Spirit of God.
12 Now we have received, not the
spirit of the world, but the spirit
which is of God ; that we might know
the things that are freely given to us
of God.

13 Which things also we speak,
not in the words which man's wisdom
teacheth, but which the [Holy Ghost:
Spirit] teacheth; comparing spiritual
things with spiritual.
14 But the natural man receiveth
not the things of the Spirit of God :
for they are foolishness unto him:
neither can he know them, because
they are spiritually discerned.
15 But he that is spiritual judgeth
all things, yet he himself is judged of
no man.
16 For who hath known the mind
of the Lord, that l;e may instruct
hira? But we have the mind of
Christ. CHAP. IIL
AND I, brethren, could not speak
unto you as unto spiritual, but
as unto carnal, even as unto babes in
Christ. 2 I have fed you with milk, [and]
not with raeat: for hitherto ye were
not able to bear it, neither yet now
are ye able.
3 For ye are yet carnal : for where
as there is araong you envying, and
strife, [and divisions,] are ye not
carnal, and walk as men?
4 For while one saith, I am of
Paul ; and another, I am of Apollos ;
are ye not [carnal: men]l
5 Who then is Paul, and who is
[Apollos, but: Apollos?] ministers by
whom ye believed, even as the Lord
gave to every raan ?

6 I have planted, Apollos watered ;
but God gave the increase.
7 So then neither is he that plant-
eth any thing, neither he that water-
eth ; but God that giveth the increase.
8 Now he that planteth and he
that watereth are one: and every
man shall receive his own reward
according to his own labour.
9 For we are labourers together
with God: ye are God's husbandry,
ye are God's building.
10 According to the grace of God
which is given unto rae, as a wise
masterbuilder, I have laid the foun
dation, and another buildeth thereon.
But let every man take heed how he
buildeth thereupon.
11 For other foundation can no
raan lay than that is laid, which is
Jesus Christ.
12 Now if any raan build upon
[this: the] foundation gold, silver,
precious stones, wood, hay, stubble;
13 Every raan's work shall be
made manifest: for the day shall
declare it, because it shall be revealed
by fire; and the fire [itself] shall try
every man's work of what sort it is.
14 If any man's work abide which
he hath built thereupon, he shall
receive a reward.
15 If any man's work shaU be
burned, he shall suffer loss: but he
himself shall be saved; yet so as by
fire. 16 Know ye not that ye are the
temple of God, and that the Spirit of
God dwelleth in you?
17 If any man defile the temple
of God, him shall God destroy; for
the temple of God is holy, which
temple ye are.
18 Let no raan deceive himself
If any man among you seemeth to be

wise in this world, let him become a
fool, that he may be wise.
19 For the wisdora of this -world
is foolishness with God. For it is
written, He taketh the wise in their
own craftiness.
20 And again, The Lord knoweth
the thoughts of the wise, that they
are vain.
21 Therefore let no man glory in
men. For all things are your's ;
22 Whether Paul, or Apollos, or
Cephas, or the world, or life, or death,
or things present, or things to come;
all are your's;
23 And ye are Christ's ; and
Christ is God's.
CHAP. IV.
LET a man so account of us, as of
the ministers of Christ, and
stewards of the mysteries of God.
2 Moreover it is required in
.stewards, that a man be found faithful.
3 But with me it is a very sraall
thing that I should be judged of you,
or of man's judgment: yea, I judge
not mine own self.
4 For I know nothing by myself;
yet am I not hereby justified : but he
that judgeth me is the Lord.
5 Therefore judge nothing before
the time, until the Lord come, who
both will bring to light the hidden,^
things of darkness, and will make
manifest the counsels of the hearts:
and then shall every man have praise
of God,
6 And these things, brethren, I
have in a figure transferred to myself
and to Apollos for your sakes; that
ye might learn in us not to [think of
men above : overreach] that which is
written, that no one of you be
up for one against another.

7 For who maketh thee to differ
from another? and what hast thou
that thou didst not receive? now if
thou didst receive It, why dost thou
glory, as if thou hadst not received it?
8 Now ye are full, now ye are
rich, ye have reigned as kings with
out us; and I would to God ye
did reign, that we also might reign
with you.
9 For I think that God hath set
forth us the apostles last, as it were
appointed to death ; for we are made
a spectacle unto the world, and to
angels, and to men.
10 We are fools for Christ's sake,
but ye are wise in Christ ; we are
weak, but ye are strong ; ye are
honourable, but we are despised.
11 Even unto this present hour
we both hunger, and thirst, and are
naked, and are buffeted, and have no
certain dweUingplace ;
12 And labour, working with our
own hands: being reviled, we bless;
being persecuted, we suffer it ;
13 Being defamed, we intreat ; we
are made as the filth of the world,
and are the offscouring of aU things
unto this day.
14 I write not these things to
shame you, but as my beloved sons I
warn you.
15 For though ye have ten thou
sand instructers in Christ, yet have ye
not many fathers: for in Christ Jesus
I have begotten you through the
gospel. 16 Wherefore I beseech you, be ye
followers of me.
17 For this cause have I sent unto
you TImotheus, who is my beloved
son, and faithful in the Lord, who

shall bring you into remembrance of
my ways which be In Christ, as I
teach every where in every church;
18 Now some are puffed up, as
though I would not come to you.
19 But I will come to you shortly,
if the Lord will, and will know, not
the speech of them which are puffed
up, but the power,
20 For the kingdom of God is not
In word, but in power.
21 What will ye? shall I come
unto you with a rod, or in love, and
in the spirit of meekness?
CHAP. V.
IT is reported commonly that there
is fornication among you, and
such fornication as is not [so much as
named; even] among the Gentiles,
that one should have his father's wife.
2 And ye are puffed up, and have
not rather mourned, that he that hath
done this deed might be taken away
from among you.
3 For I verily, as absent in body,
but present in spirit, have judged
already, as though I were present,
concerning him that hath so done
this deed,
4 In the name of our Lord Jesus
[Christ], when ye are gathered to
gether, and my spirit, with the power
of our Lord Jesus [Christ],
5 To deliver such an one unto
Satan for the destruction of the flesh,
that the spirit may be saved in the
day ofthe Lord [Jesus].
6 Your glorying is not good.
Know ye not that a little leaven lea-
veneth the whole lump ?
7 Purge out [therefore] the old
leaven, that ye may be a new lump.

as ye are unleavened. For even
Christ our passover is sacrificed [for
us]; 8 Therefore let us keep the feast,
not with old leaven, neither with the
leaven of malice and wickedness ; but
with the unleavened bread of sincerity
and truth.
9 I wrote unto you in an epistle
not to company with fornicators:
10 [Yet] not altogether with the
fornicators of this world, or with the
covetous, [or. and] extortioners, or
with idolaters ; for then must ye
needs go out of the world.
11 But now I have written unto
you not to keep company, if any man
that is called a brother be a fornicator,
or covetous, or an idolater, or a raller,
or a drunkard, or an extortioner ;
with sudh an one no not to eat,
12 For what have I to do to
judge them [also] that are without?
do not ye judge them that are within?
13 But them that are without
God judgeth. Therefore put away
from among yourselves that wicked
person.
CHAP, VI,
DAEE any of you, having a
matter against another, go to
law before the unjust, and not before
the saints ?
2 Do ye not know that the saints
shall judge the world? and if the
world shall be judged by you, are ye
unworthy to judge the smallest mat
ters? 3 Know ye not that we shall
judge angels? how much more things
that pertain to this life ?
4 If then ye have judgments' of
things pertaining to this life, set thera

to judge who are least esteemed in
the church.
5 I speak to your shame. Is it so,
that there is not a wise man among
you? no, not one that shall be able
to judge between his brethren ?
6 But brother goeth to law with
brother, and that before the unbe
lievers. 7 Now therefore there is utterly
a fault among you, because ye go to
law one with another. Why do ye
not rather take wrong ? why do ye
not rather suffer yourselves to be
defrauded ?
8 Nay, ye do wrong, and defraud,
and that your brethren,
9 Know ye not that the unright
eous shall not inherit the kingdom of
God ? Be not deceived : neither for
nicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers,
nor effeminate, nor abusers of them
selves with mankind,
10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor
drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortion- •
ers, shall Inherit the kingdom of God.
1 1 And such were some of you :
but ye are washed, but ye are sancti
fied, but ye are justified In the name
of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit
of our God.
12 All things are lawful unto me,
but all things are not expedient: all
things are lawful for me, but I will
not be brought under the power of
any. 13 Meats for the belly, and the
belly for meats ; but God shall destroj
both it and them. Now the body is
not for fornication, but for the Lord;
and the Lord for the body.
14 And God hath both raised up
the Lord, and will also raise up us by
his own power.

L COEINTHIANS, VIL

15 Know ye not that your bodies
are the members of Christ? shaU I
then take the members of Christ, and
make them the members of an harlot?
God forbid,
16 What ? know ye not that he
which is joined to an harlot is one
body? for two, saith he, shall be one
flesh, 17 But he that is joined unto the
Lord is one spirit,
18 Flee fornication. Every sin
that a man doeth is without the
body ; but he that committeth forni
cation sinneth against his own body.
19 What ? know ye not that your
body is the temple of the Holy
Ghost which is in you, which ye h'ave
of God, and ye are not your own ?
20 For ye are bought with a price :
therefore glorify God in your body[,
and in your spirit, which are' God's],
CHAP. VIL
NOW concerning the things where
of ye wrote [unto me] : It
is good for a man not to touch a
woman. 2 Nevertheless, to avoid fornica
tion, let every man have his own wife,
and let every woman have her own
husband. 3 Let the husband render unto
the wife [due benevolence : her due] :
and likewise also the wife unto the
husband. 4 The wife hath not power of her
own body, but the husband : and like
wise also the husband hath not power
of his own body, but the wife.

except it be with consent for a time,
that ye may give yourselves to [fast
ing and] prayer ; and corae together
again, that Satan tempt you not for
your incontinency,
6 But I speak this by permission,
and not of comraandment.
7 For I would that all men were
even as I myself But every man
hath his proper gift of God, one after
this manner, and another after that.
8 I say therefore to the unmarried
and widows. It is good for them If
they abide even as I,
9 But if they cannot contain, let
them marry ; for it is better to marry
than to burn.
10 And unto the married I com
mand, yet not I, but the Lord, Let
not the wife depart frora her husband ;
1 1 But and if she depart, let her
reraainunraarried,or be reconciled to
her husband ; and let not the husband
put away his wife.
1 2 But to the rest speak I, not the
Lord ; If any brother hath a wife
that believeth not, and she be pleased
to dwell with hira, let him not put
her away.
13 And the woman which hath
an husband that believeth not, and
if he be pleased to dwell with her,
let her not leave [him: her husband].
14 For the unbelieving husband
Is sanctified by the wife, and the un
believing wife " is sanctified by the
[husband; brother]: else were your
children unclean; but now are they
holy.

L COEINTHIANS, VIL

15 But if the unbelieving depart,
let him depart. A brother or a sister
is not under bondage in such cases ;
but God hath called us to peace,
16 For what knowest thou, 0
wife, whether thou shalt save thy
husband? or how knowest thou,
0 raan, whether thou shalt save thy
wife? 17 But as God hath distributed
to every man, as the Lord hath called
every one, so let him walk. And so
ordain I in all churches,
18 Is any man called being cir
cumcised? let hira not becorae uncir
cumcised. Is any called in uncircum
cision? let him not be circumcised.
19 Circumcision is nothing, and
uncircumcision is nothing, but the
keeping ofthe comraandraents of God.
20 Let every man abide in the
same calling wherein he was called.
21 Art thou called being a ser
vant ? care not for it ; but if thou
mayest be made free, use it rather.
22 For he that is called in the
Lord, being a servant, is the Lord's
freeman; likewise [also] he that is
called, being free, is Christ's servant.
23 Ye are bought with a price; be
not ye the servants of men.
24 Brethren, let every man, where
in he is called, therein abide with God.
25 Now concerning virgins I have
no commandment of the Lord : yet I
give my judgment, as one that hath
obtained mercy of the Lord to be
faithful. 26 I suppose therefore that this is
good for the present distress, I say,
that it is good for a man so to be.
27 Art thou bound unto a wife?
seek not to be loosed. Art thou
loosed from a wife? seek not a wife.
28 But and if thou marry, thou
hast not sinned; and if a virgin
marry, she hath not sinned. Never

theless such shall have trouble in the
flesh : but I spare you.
29 But this I say, brethren, the
time is short : it remalneth, that both
they that have wives be as though
they had none ;
30 And they that weep, as though
they wept not ; and they that rejoice,
as though they rejoiced not; and
they that buy, as though they pos
sessed not ;
31 And they that use this world,
as not abusing it ; for the fashion of
this world passeth away.
32 But I would have you without
carefulness. He that Is unmarried
careth for the things that belong to
the Lord, how he may please .the
Lord :
¦33 But he that is married careth
for the things that are of the world,
how he may please his wife.
34 There Is difference also between
a wife and a virgin. The unmarried
woraan careth for the things of the
Lord, that she may be holy both in
body and in spirit; but she that is
married careth for the things of the
world, how she may please her hus
band. 35 And this I speak for your own
profit; not that I may cast a snare
upon you, but for that which Is
comely, and that ye raay attend upon
the Lord without distraction.
36 But If any raan think that he
behaveth himself uncomely toward
his virgin, if she pass the flower of
her age, and need so require, let him
do what he wiU, he sinneth not: let
them marry.
37 Nevertheless he that standeth
stedfast in his heart, having no ne
cessity, but hath power over his own
wiU, and hath so decreed in his heart
that he will keep his virgin, doeth
well.

38 So then he that giveth her in
marriage doeth weU ; but he that
giveth her not in marriage doeth
better. 39 The wife is bound [by the
law] as long as her husband liveth ;
but if her husband be dead, she is at
liberty to be married to whom she
will ; only in the Lord.
40 But she is happier if she so
abide, after my judgment: and I
think also that I have the Spirit of
God, CHAP, VIII.

IVrOW as touching things offered
-L 1 unto idols, we know that we
all have knowledge. Knowledge
puffeth up, but charity edifieth.
2 [And] if any man think that he
cnoweth any thing, he knoweth
nothing: not] yet as he ought to
'. snow. 3 But if any man love God, the
same is known of him,
4 As concerning therefore the
eating of those things that are
offered in sacrifice unto idols, we
know that an idol is nothing in the
world, and that there is [none other:
no] God but one.
5 For though there be that are
called gods, whether in heaven or in
earth, (as there be gods many, and
lords many,)
6 But to ua there is but one God,

the Father, of whom are all things,
and we in him ; and one Lord Jesus
Christ, by whom are all things, and
we by him,
7 Howbeit there is not in every
man that knowledge ; for some [ with
conscience: by their habitual know
ledge ] of the idol unto this hour eat
it as a thing offered unto an idol;
and their conscience being weak is
defiled. 8 But meat [commendeth us not;
ivill not commend] to God ; [for]
neither, if we eat, are we the better ;
neither, if we eat not, are we the

worse.

9 But take heed lest by any
means this liberty of your's become a
stumblingblock to thera that are weak.
10 For if any raan see thee which
hast knowledge sit at meat in the
idol's temple, shaU not the conscience
of him which Is weak be emboldened
to eat those things which are offered
to idols;
11 [And: For] through thy know
ledge [shall the weak brother perish ;
is the weak one perishing, the brother]
for whom Christ died?
12 But when ye sin so against the
brethren, and wound their weak con
science, ye sin against Christ.
13 Wherefore, if meat make my
brother to offend, I will eat no fiesh
while the world standeth, lest I make
my brother to offend.

CHAP, IX,
AM I not an apostle? ara I not
free? have I not seen Jesus
[Christ] our Lord? are not ye my
work in the Lord ?
2 If I be not an apostle unto
others, yet doubtless I am to you;
for the seal of mine apostleship are
ye in the Lord,
3 Mine answer to them that do
examine me is this,
4 Have we not power to eat and
to drink?
5 Have we not power to lead
about a sister, a wife, as well as other
apostles, and as the brethren of the
Lord, and Cephas?
6 Or I only and Barnabas, have
not we power to forbear working?
7 Who goeth a warfare any time
at his own charges? who planteth a
vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit
thereof ? or who feedeth a flock, and
eateth not of the milk of the flock?
8 Say I these things as a raan? or
saith not the law the sarae also?
9 For it is written in the law of
Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the
mouth of the ox that treadeth out the
corn. Doth God take care for oxen ?
10 Or saith he it altogether for
our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt,
this is written; that he that ploweth
should plow in hope; and [that he
that thresheth in hope should be
partaker of his hope; he that thresh
eth in hope of partaking].
11 If we have sown unto you
spiritual things, is it a great thing if
we shall reap your carnal things?
12 If others be partakers of this
power oyer you, are not we rather?

Nevertheless we have not used this
power; but suflfer all things, lest we
should hinder the gospel of Christ,
13 Do ye not know that they
which minister about holy things
live ofthe things ofthe temple? and
they which wait at the altar are
partakers with the altar?
14 Even so hath the Lord ordained
that they which preach the gospel
should live of the gospel.
15 But I have used none of these
things; neither have I written, these
things, that it should be so done unto
me; for it were better for me to die,
than that any man should make my
glorying void,
16 For though I preach the gospel,
I have nothing to glory of: for neces
sity is laid upon rae; [yea; for], woe
is unto me, if I preach not the gospel !
17 For if I do this thing willingly,
I have a reward: but if against my
will, a dispensation of the gospel Is
committed unto me.
18 What is my reward then?
Verily that, when I preach the
gospel, I may make the gospel [of
Christ] without charge, that I abuse
not my power in the gospel,
19 For though I be free from 'all
men, yet have I made myself servant
unto all, that I might gain the more.
20 And unto the Jews I became
as a Jew, that I might gain the
Jews; to them that are under the
law, as under the law, that I might
gain thera that are under the law;
21 To them that are without law,
as without law, (being not without
law to God, but under the law to
Christ,) that I might gain them that
are without law.

beateth the air:
27 But I keep under my body,
and bring it into subjection: lest that
by any means, when I have preached
to others, I myself should be a cast
away,
CHAP. X.
MOEEOVEE; For], brethren, I
would not that ye should be
ignorant, how that all our fathers
were under the cloud, and aU passed
through the sea;
2 And were all baptized unto
Moses in the cloud and in the sea;
3 • And did all eat the same spirit
ual meat;
4 And did all drink the same
spiritual drink: for they drank of
that spiritual Eock that followed
them : and that Eock was Christ.
5 But with many of them God
was riot well pleased : for they were
overthrown in the wilderness.

6 Now these things were our ex
amples, to the intent we should not lust
after evil things, as they also lusted.
7 Neither be ye idolaters, as were
some of them; as it is written. The
people sat down to eat and (irink,
and rose up to play.
8 Neither let us commit fornica
tion, as some of them committed,
and fell in one day three and twenty
thousand. 9 Neither let us tempt [Christ:
the Lord], as some of them [also]
tempted, and were destroyed of ser
pents. 10 Neither murmur ye, as some of
them [also] raurmured, and were
destroyed of the destroyer.
11 Now [all] these things hap
pened unto them for ensamples ; and
they are written 'for our admoni
tion, upon whom the ends of the
world are come.
12 Wherefore let him that think-
eth he standeth take heed lest he fall.
13 There hath no temptation
taken you but such as is coraraon to
man: but God is faithful, who will
not suffer you to be tempted above
that ye are able; but will with the
temptation also make a way to es
cape, that ye may be able to bear it.
14 Wherefore, my dearly beloved,
flee from idolatry,
15 I speak as to wise men; judge
ye what I say,
16 The cup of blessing which we
bless, is it not the communion of the
blood of Christ? The bread which
we break, is it not the communion of
the body of Christ?

17 For we being many are one
bread, and one body ; for we are all
partakers of that one bread.
18 Behold Israel after the flesh:
are not they which eat of the sacri
fices partakers of the altar?
19 What say I then ? that the
idol is any thing, or that which is
offered in sacrifice to Idols is any
thing? 20 But I say, that the things which
[the Gentiles; they] sacrifice, they
sacrifice to devils, and not to God:
and I would not that ye should have
fellowship with devils.
21 Ye cannot drink the cup ofthe
Lord, and the cup of devils: ye
cannot be partakers of the Lord's
table, and of the table of devils.

6 For if the woman be not covered,
let her also be shorn; but if it be a
shame for a woman to be shorn or
shaven, let her be covered.
7 For a man indeed ought not to
cover his head, forasmuch as he is the
image and glory of God: but the
woman is the glory of the man.
8 For the man is not of the
woman ; but the woman of the raan.
9 Neither was the raan created for
the woman; but the woman for the
man. 10 For this cause ought the woman
to have power on her head because of
the angels.
11 Nevertheless neither is the
man without the woman, neither the
woman without the man, in the
Lord. 12 For as the woman is of the
raan, .even so is the man also by the
woman; but all things of God.
13 Judge in yourselves; is it
comely that a woman pray unto God
uncovered? 14 Doth not even nature itself
teach you, that, if a man have long
hair, it is a shame unto him ?
15 But if a woman have long hair,,
it is a glory to her; for her hair is
given [her] for a covering.
16 But if any man seem to be
contentious, we have no such custom,,
neither the churches of God.
17 Now [in this that I declare
unto you I praise you not; this order
I give, not praising], that ye corae to
gether not for the better, but for the
worse.

18 For first of aU, when ye come
together in the church, I hear that
there be divisions among you; and I
partly believe it.
19 For there raust be also heresies
among you, that they which are
approved may be made manifest
among you.
20 When ye come together there
fore into one place, this is not to eat
the. Lord's supper.
21 For in eating every one taketh
before other his own supper ; and one
is hungry, and another is drunken.
22 What? have ye not houses to
eat and to drink in ? or despise ye the
church of God, and shame thera that
have not? What shall I say to you?
¦shall I praise you in this? I praise
you not.
23 For I have received of the
Lord that which also I delivered
unto you. That the Lord Jesus the
same night in which he was betrayed
took bread :
24 And when he had given thanks,
he brake it, and said, [Take, eat :] this
is my body, which is [broken] for
you : this do in remenibrance of me.
25 After the same manner also he
took the cup, when he had supped,
saying. This cup is the new testament
In my blood ; this do ye, as oft as ye
drink It, in reraerabrance of me.
26 For as often as ye eat this
bread, and drink [this: the] cup, ye
do shew the Lord's death till he
come. 27 Wherefore whosoever shall eat
[this: the] bread, and drink this cup

of the Lord, unworthily, shall be
guilty of the body and blood of the

and so let hira eat of that bread, and
drink of that cup.
29 For he that eateth and drinketh
[unworthily], eateth and drinketh
damnation to himself, not discerning
the [Lord's] body.
30 For this cause many are weak
and sickly among you, and many
sleep. 31 [For: But] if we would judge
ourselves, we should not be judged.
32 But when we are judged, we
are chastened of the Lord, that we
should not be condemned with the
world. 33 Wherefore, my brethren, when
ye come together to eat, tarry one for
another. 34 [And] if any man hunger, let
him eat at home; that ye come not
together unto condemnation. And
the rest will I set in order when I
come. CHAP. XII.
NOW concerning spiritual gifts,
brethren, I would not have
you Ignorant.
2 Ye know that [when] ye were
Gentiles, [ye were] carried away unto
these dumb idols, even as ye were
led, 3 Wherefore I give you to under
stand, that no man speaking by the

Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed;
and that no man can say that Jesus
is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost,
4 Now there are diversities of
gifts, but the same Spirit,
5 And there are differences of
administrations, but the same Lord,
6 And there are diversities of
operations, but it Is the same God
which worketh all In alL
7 But the manifestation of the
Spirit is given to every man to profit
withal, 8 For to one Is given by the Spirit
the word of wisdom ; to another the
word of knowledge by the same
Spirit ;
9 To another faith by the same
Spirit ; to another the gifts of healing
by the [same: one] Spirit;
10 To another the working of
miracles ; to another prophecy ; to
another discerning of spirits; to
another divers kinds of tongues; to
another the interpretation of tongues;
1 1 But all these worketh that one
and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to
every man severally as he wiU.
12 For as the body Is one, and
hath many members, and all the
members of that [one] body, bemg
many, are one body; so also Is
Christ.
. 13 For by one Spirit are we all
baptized into one body, whether we
be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be
bond or free; and have been all
made to drink [into] one Spirit.

18 But now hath God set the
members every one of them in the
body, as it hath pleased hira.
19 And if they were all one
merhber, where were the body?
20 But now are they many mem
bers, yet but one body.
21 And the eye cannot say unto
the hand, I have no need of thee:
nor again the head to the feet, I
have no need of you.
22 Nay, much raore those mem
bers of the body, which seem to be
more feeble, are necessary:
23 And those members of the
body, which we think to be less
honourable, upon these we biestow
more abundant honour; and our un
comely parts have more abundant
coraeliness. 24 For our comely parts have no
need; but God hath tempered the
body - together, having given more
abundant honour to that part which
lacked :
25 That there should be no schism
in the body; but that the members
should have the same care one for
another. 26 . And whether one member
suffer, all the members suffer with it;
or one member be honoured, all the
members rejoice with it.
27 Now ye are the body of Christ,
and members in particular.
28 And God hath set some in the

church, first apostles, secondarily
prophets, thirdly teachers, after that
miracles, then gifts of healings,
helps, governments, diversities of
tongues. 29 Are all apostles? are all pro
phets ? are all teachers ? are all
workers of miracles ? i
30 Have all the gifts of healing?
do all speak with tongues? do all
interpret? 31 But covet earnestly the best
gifts: and yet shew I unto you a
more excellent way.
CHAP. XHL
THOUGH I speak with the
tongues of men and of angels,
and have not charity, I ara become
as sounding brass, or a tinkling
cymbal. 2 And though I have the gift of
prophecy, and understand all mys
teries, and all knowledge ; and though
I have all faith, so that I could
remove mountains, and have not
charity, I ara nothing.
3 And though I bestow all my
goods to feed the poor, and though
I give my body to be burned, and
have not charity, it profiteth me
nothing. 4 Charity suffereth long, and is
kind; charity envleth not; charity
vaunteth not itself. Is not puffed up,
5 Doth not behave itself unseemly,
seeketh not her own, is not easily
provoked, thinketh no evil;
6 Eejolceth not in iniquity, but
rejoiceth in the truth;
7 Beareth all things, believeth all
things, hopeth all things, endureth
all things.
8 Charity never falleth : but
whether there be prophecies, they
shall fail; whether there be tongues,
they shall cease; whether there be
knowledge, it shall vanish away.

L COEINTHIANS, XIV.

9 For we know in part, and we
prophesy in part.
10 But when that which is per
fect is come, [then] that which is in
part shall be done away.
11 When I was a child, I spake
as a child, I understood as a child, I
thought as a child: [but] when I
became a man, I put away childish
things. 12 For now we see through a
glass, darkly ; but then face to face :
now I know in part; but then shall
I know even as also I am known.
13 And now abideth faith, hope,
charity, these' three; but the greatest
of these is charity.
CHAP, XIV.
EOLLOW after charity, and desire
spiritual gifts, but rather that
ye may prophesy.
2 For he that speaketh in an un
known tongue speaketh not unto
men, but unto God; for no man
understandeth hira; howbeit in the
spirit he speaketh mysteries.
3 But he that prophesieth speaketh
unto men to edification, and exhorta
tion, and comfort.
4 He that speaketh in an unknown
tongue edifieth himself; but he that
prophesieth edifieth the church.
5 I would that ye all spake with
tongues, but rather that ye pro
phesied: [for; but] greater is he that
prophesieth than he that speaketh
with tongues, except he interpret,
that the church may receive edifying.
6 Now,brethren,if Icomeuntoyou
speaking with tongues, what shall I
profit you, except I shall speak to you
either by revelation, or by knowledge,
or by prophesying, or by doctrine?

7 And even things without life
giving sound, whether pipe or harp,'
except they give a distinction In the
sounds, how shall it be known what
is piped or harped?
8 For if the trumpet give an
uncertain sound, who shall prepare
himself to the battle?
9 So likewise ye, except ye utter
by the tongue words easy to be
understood, how shall it be known
what is spoken? for ye shall speak
into the air.
10 There are, it may be, so many
kinds of voices in the world, and
none [of them is] without significa
tion. 11 Therefore if I know not the
meaning of the voice, I shall be unto
hira that speaketh a barbarian, and
he that speaketh shall be a barbarian
unto rae.
12 Even so ye, forasrauch as ye
are zealous of spiritual gifts, seek
that ye may excel to the edifying of
the church.
13 Wherefore let him that speaketh
In an unknown tongue pray that he
may interpret.
14 For if I pray in an unknown
tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my
understanding Is unfruitful.
15 What Is it then? I will pray
with the spirit, and I will pray with
the understanding also: I will sing
with the spirit, [and] I will sing
with the understanding also.
16 Else when thou shalt bless with
the spirit, how shall he that occupieth
the room of the unlearned say Amen
at thy giving of thanks, seeing he
understandeth not what thou sayest;?
17 For thou verily givest .thanks
well, but the other is not edified.

L COEINTHIANS, XIV.

18 I thank [my] God, I speak
with [tongues: a tongue] more than
ye all :
19 Yet in the church I had rather
speak five words with my under
standing, that by my voice I raight
teach others also, than ten thousand
words in an unknown tongue.
20 Brethren, be not children in
understanding; howbeit In raallce be
ye children, but in understanding be
men. 21 In the law it is written. With
men of other tongues and other lips
will I speak unto this people; and
yet for all that will they not hear me,
saith the Lord.
22 Wherefore tongues are for a
sign, not to thera that believe, but
to them that believe not: but pro
phesying serveth not for thera that
believe not, but for them which
believe. 23 If therefore the whole church
be come together into one place, and
all speak with tongues, and there
corae in those that are unlearned, or
unbelievers, will they not say that ye
are mad?
24 But if all prophesy, and there
come in one that believeth not, or
one unlearned, he is convinced of all,
he is judged of all ;
25 [And thus] are the secrets of
his heart made manifest; and so fall
ing down on his face he will worship
God, and report that God is in you
of a truth.
26 How is it then, brethren? when
ye come together, every one [of you]
hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath

a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an
interpretation. Let all things be
done unto edifying.
27 If any raan speak in an un
known tongue, let it be by two, or
at the raost by three, and that by
course ; and let one Interpret.
28 But if there be no interpreter,
let him keep silence in the church;
and let him speak to himself, and to
God. 29 Let the prophets speak two or
three, and let the other judge.
30 If any thing be revealed to
another that sitteth by, let the first
hold his peace.
31 For ye may all prophesy one
by one, that all may learn, and all
may be comforted.
32 And the spirits of the prophets
are subject to the prophets.
33 For God is not the author of
confusion, but of peace, as in all
churches of the saints.
34 Let [your: the] women keep
silence in the churches; for it is not
permitted unto thera to speak; but
they are coraraanded to be under
obedience, as also saith the law.
35 And if they will learn any
thing, let thera ask their husbands
at home : for It is a shame for women
to speak in the church.
36 What? came the word of God
out from you? or came it unto you
only? 37 If any man think hiraself to
be a prophet, or spiritual, let hira
acknowledge that the things that I
write unto you are [the comraand
raents] of the Lord.

CHAP, XV,
MOEEOVEE, brethren, I declare
unto you the gospel which I
preached unto you, which also ye
have received, and wherein ye stand;
2 By which also ye are saved, if
ye keep in memory what I preached
unto you, unless ye have believed In
vain, 3 For I delivered unto you first
of all that which I also received,
how that Christ died for our sins
according to the scriptures;
4 And that he was buried, and
that he rose again the third day
according to the scriptures :
5 And that he was seen of Cephas,'
then of the twelve:
6 After that, he was seen of above
five hundred brethren at once; of
whom the greater part remain unto
this present, but some are fallen
asleep. 7 After that, he was seen of James;
then of all the apostles,
8 And last of all he was seen of rae
also, as of one born out of due tlrae.
9 For I am the least of the
apostles, that am not meet to be
called an apostle, because I perse
cuted the church of God,
10 But by the grace of God I am
what I am : and his grace which was
bestowed upon me was not in vain;
but I laboured raore abundantly than
they all : yet not I, but the grace of
God which was with me.

11 Therefore whether it were I
or they, so we preach, and so ye
beHeved, 12 Now if Christ be preached that
he rose from the dead, how say some
among you that there Is no resurrec
tion of the dead?
13 But If there be no resurrection
of the dead, then is Christ not risen:
14 And if Christ be not risen, then
Is our preaching vain, [and] your
faith is also vain.
15 Yea, and we are found false
witnesses of God; because we have
testified of God that he raised up
Christ : whom he raised not up, If so
be that the dead rise not.
16 For if the dead rise not, then
is not Christ raised:
17 And if Christ be not raised,
your faith is vain; ye are yet In
your sins.
18 Then they also which are fallen
asleep in Christ are perished.
19 If in this life only we have-
hope in Christ, we are of all men
most miserable.
20 But now is Christ risen from
the dead, [and become] the firstfruits
of them that slept.
21 For since by man came death,
by man came also the resurrection of
the dead.
22 For as in Adam all die, even
so in Christ shall all be made aUve.
23 But every man in his own
order : Christ the firstfruits ; afterward
they that are Christ's at his coming.
24 Then cometh the end, when he
shall have delivered up the kingdom
to God, even the Father; when he
shall have put down all rule and
all authority and power,
25 For he must reign, tlU he hath
put all enemies under his feet.

26 The last enemy that shall be
destroyed is death.
27 For he hath put all things
under his feet. But when he saith
all things are put under him, it Is
manifest that he is excepted, which
did put all things under him,
28 And when all things shall be
subdued unto him, then shall the
Son also himself be subject unto him
that put all things under him, that
God may be all In all.
29 Else what shall they do which
are baptized for the dead, if the dead
rise not at all ? why are they then
baptized for [the dead: them]?
30 And '^'hy stand we in jeopardy
every hour? '
31 I protest by your rejoicing
which I have in Christ Jesus our
Lord, I die daily.
32 If after the manner of men I
have fought with beasts at Ephesus,
what advantageth it me, if the dead
rise not? let us eat and drink; for to
morrow we die.
33 Be not deceived ; evil com
munications corrupt good manners.
34 Awake to righteousness, and
sin not; for some have not the know
ledge of God; I speak this to your
shame. 35 But some man will say. How
are the dead raised up? and with
what body do they corae?
36 Thou fool, that which thou
sowest is not quickened, except it
die: 37 And that which thou sowest,
thou sowest not that body that shall
be, but bare grain, it may chance
of wheat, or of some other grain :

38 But God giveth It a body as it
hath pleased him, and to every seed
his own body.
39 All flesh is not the same flesh ;
but there is one kind of fiesh of men,
another flesh of beasts, another of
fishes, and another of birds.
40 There afS' also celestial bodies,
and bodies terrestrial : but the glory
of the celestial is one, and the glory
of the terrestrial is another.
41 There is one glory of the sun,
and another glory of the moon, and
another glory of the stars: for one
star differeth from another star in
glory. 42 So also is the resurrection of
the dead. It is sown In corruption;
it is raised In incorruptlon :
43 It is sown in dishonour; it is
raised in glory : it is sown in weak
ness; it is raised in power:
44 It is sown a natural body; it is
raised a spiritual body. [There Is a
natural body, and there is: If t^ere
is a natural body, there is, also] a
spiritual body.
45 And so it is written. The first
man Adam was raade a living soul;
the last Adam was raade a quicken
ing spirit.
46 Howbeit that was not first
which is spiritual, but that which is
natural; and afterward that which Is
spiritual, 47 The first man Is of the earth,
earthy : the second man Is [the Lord]
from heaven,
48 As is the earthy, such are they
also that are earthy :' and as Is the
heavenly, such are they also that are
heavenly.

49 And as we have borne the
image of the earthy, [we shall: let
us] also bear the image . of the
heavenly. 50 Now this I say, brethren, that
fiesh and blood cannot inherit the
kingdom of God; neither doth cor
ruption inherit incorruptlon.
51 Behold, I shew you a mystery;
We shall not aU sleep, but we shall
all be changed,
52 In a moment, in the twinkling
of an eye, at the last trump : for the
trumpet shall sound, and the dead
shall be raised incorruptible, and we
shall be changed.
53 For this corruptible must put
on-Incorruption, and this mortal must
put on immortality.
54 So when this corruptible shall
have put on incorruptlon, and this
mortal shall have put on immortality,
then shall be brought to pass the
saying that Is written. Death is
swallowed up in victory.
o6 0 death, where is thy sting?
0 [grave : death], where is thy victory ?
56 The sting of death is sin; and
the strength of sin is the law.
57 But thanks be to God, which
giveth us the victory through our
Lord Jesus Christ.
58 Therefore, ray beloved brethren,
be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always
abounding in the work of the Lord,
forasrauch as ye know that your
labour is not in vain in the Lord.

order to the churches of Galatia,
even so do ye.

let every one of you lay by him in
store, as God hath prospered him,
that there be no gatherings when I

them will I send to bring your
liberality unto Jerusalera.
4 And if it be meet that I go also,
they shall go with rae.
5 Now 1 will come unto you, when
I shall pass through Macedonia: for
I do pass through Macedonia,
6 And it may be that I will abide,
yea, and winter with you, that ye
may bring me on my journey whither
soever I go,
7 For I will not see you now by
the way; [but: for] I trust to tarry a
while with you, if the Lord permit. '
8 But I will tarry at Ephesus
until Pentecost.
9 For a great door and effectual is
opened unto rae, and there are many
adversaries, 10 Now if TImotheus come, see
that he may be with you without
fear : for he worketh the work of the
Lord, as I also do,
11 Let no man therefore despise
him : but conduct him forth in peace,
that he may come unto me: for I
look for him with the brethren,
12 As touching our brother
Apollos, I greatly desired him to
corae unto you with the brethren:
but his will was not at all to come at
this time; but he will come when he
shall have convenient time,

7 And our hope of you is stedfast,
knowing, that as ye are partakers of
the sufierlngs, so shall ye be' also of
the consolation.
8 For we would not, brethren,
have you ignorant of our trouble
which came [to us] in Asia, that we
were pressed out of measure, above
strength, insomuch that we despaired
even of life :
9 But we had the sentence of
death In ourselves, that we should
not trust in ourselves,, but in God
which raiseth the dead :
10 Who delivered us from so great
a death, and doth deliver: In whom
we trust that he will yet deliver us;
11 Ye also helping together by
prayer for us, that for the gift
bestowed upon us by the means of
many persons thanks may be given
by many on our behalf
12 For our rejoicing is this, the
testimony of our conscience, that In
[sImpHcity: holiness] and godly sin
cerity, not with fleshly wisdom, but
by the grace of God, we have had
our conversation in the world, and
more abundantly to you-ward.
13 For we write none other things
unto you, than what ye read or
acknowledge ; and I trust ye shall
acknowledge [even] to the end;
14 As also ye have acknowledged
us in part, that we are your rejoicing,
even as ye also are our's in the day
of the Lord Jesus.
15 And in this confidence I was
rainded to corae unto you before,
that ye might have a second benefit ;

4 For out of much aflBiction and
anguish of heart I wrote unto you
with many tears; not that ye should
be grieved, but that ye might know
the love which I have more abun
dantly unto you.
5 But if any have caused grief, he
hath not grieved me, but in part:
that I may not overcharge you all.-
6 SuflScient to such a raan is this
punishment, which was inflicted of
many. 7 So that contrariwise ye ought
rather to forgive him, and comfort
him, lest perhaps such a one should be
swallowed up with overmuch sorrow.
8 Wherefore I beseech you that
ye would confirm your love toward
him. 9 For to this end also did I write,
that I might know the proof of you,
whether ye be obedient in all things.
10 To whom ye forgive any thing,
I forgive also: for [if I forgave any
thing, to whora I forgave it: what I
forgave, if I forgave any thing], for
your sakes forgave I it In the person
of Christ ;
11 Lest Satan should get an ad
vantage of us: for we are not igno
rant of his devices.
12 Furtherraore, when I came to
Troas to preach Christ's gospel, and
a door was opened unto me of the
Lord, 13 I had no rest in my spirit,
because I found not Titus my bro
ther: but taking my leave of them,
I went from thence into Macedonia.
14 Now thanks be unto God, which
always causeth us to triumph in
Christ, and maketh manifest the
savour of his knowledge by us in
every place.

15 For we are unto God a sweet
savour of Christ, in thera that are
saved, and in them that perish :
16 To the one we are the savour
]o?: from] death unto death; and to
the other the savour [of: from] life
unto life. And who Is sufficient for
these things?
17 For we are not as many, which
corrupt the word of God : but as of
sincerity, but as of God, in the sight
of God speak we in Christ.
CHAP. III.
DO we begin again to commend
ourselves ? or need we, as some
others, epistles of commendation to
you, or [letters of commendation]
from you?
2 Ye are our epistle written in our
hearts, known and read of all men :
3 Forasmuch as ye are manifestly
declared to be the epistle of Christ
ministered by us, written not with
ink, but with the Spirit of the living
God; not in tables of stone, but in
fieshy tables of the heart.
4 And such trust have we through
Christ to God- ward :
5 Not that we are sufficient of
ourselves to think any thing as of our
selves ; but our sufficiency is of God ;
6 Who also hath made us able
ministers of the new testament; not
of the letter, but of the spirit: for
the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth
life. 7 But if the ministration of death,
written and engraven in stones, was
glorious, so that the children of Israel
could not stedfastly behold the face
of Moses for the glory of his counte
nance; which glory was to be done
away:

8 How shall not the ministration
of the spirit be rather glorious?
9 For if the ministration of con
demnation be glory, much more doth
the ministration of righteousness ex
ceed In glory.
10 For even that which was made
glorious had no glory in this respect,
by reason of the glory that excelleth,
1 1 For if that which Is done away
was glorious, much more that which
remalneth is glorious.
12 Seeing then that we have such
hope, we use great plainness of
speech ;
13 And not as Moses, which put a
veil over his face, that the children
of Israel could not stedfastly look- to
the end of that which is abolished:
14 But their minds were blinded ;
for until this day remalneth the same
veil untaken away in the reading bf
the old testament ; which vail is done
away in Christ,
15 But even unto this day, when
Moses is read, the veil is upon their
heart, 16 Nevertheless when it shall turn
to the Lord, the veil shall be taken
away, 17 Now the Lord is that Spirit:
and where the Spirit of the Lord is,
[there] is liberty,
18 But we all, with open face be
holding as in a glass the glory of the
Lord, are changed into the same
image from glory to glory, even as
by the Spirit of the Lord.

things of dishonesty, not walking in
craftiness, nor handling the word of
God deceitfully; but by manifesta
tion of the truth commending our
selves to every raan's conscience In
the sight of God.
3 But if our gospel be hid. It Is
hid to thera that are lost :
4 In whora the god of this world
hath blinded the minds of them which
believe not, lest the light of the glori
ous gospel of Christ, who is the image
of God, should shine [unto them].
5 For we preach not ourselves, but
Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves
your servants for Jesus' sake.
6 For God, who commanded the
light to shine out of darkness,' hath
shined in our hearts, to give the light
of the knowledge of the glory of God
in the face of [Jesus] Christ.
7 But we have this treasure In
earthen vessels, that the excellency
of the power may be of God, and
not of us.
8 We are troubled on every side,
yet not distressed ; we are perplexed,
but not in despair;
9 Persecuted, but not forsaken;
cast down, but not destroyed;
10 Always bearing about In the
body the dying of [the Lord] Jesus,
that the life also of Jesus might be
made manifest in our body.
11 For we which live are alway
delivered unto death for Jesus' sake,
that the life also of Jesus might be
raade manifest in our mortal flesh,

but life in you,

we also beHeve, and therefore speak ;
14 Knowing that he which raised
up the Lord Jesus shaU raise up us
also [by; with] Jesus, and shall pre
sent us with you. .
15 For all things are for your
sakes, that the abundant grace might
through the thanksgiving of many
redound to the glory of God.
16 For which cause we faint not ;
but though our outward man perish,
yet the inward man is renewed day
by day.
17 For our light affliction, which
is but for a moment, worketh for us
a far more exceeding and eternal
weight of glory ;
18- While we look not at the
things which are seen, but at the
things which are not seen: for the
things .which are seen are temporal;
but the things which are not seen are
eternal.

|i"^OE we know that if our earthly
J- house of this tabernacle were
dissolved, we have a building of God,
an house not made with hands,
eternal in the heaven's.
2 For in this we groan, earnestly
desiring to be clothed upon with our
house which is from heaven :
3 If so be that being clothed we
shall not be found naked.
• 4 For we that are in this tabernacle
do groan, being burdened: not for
that we would be unclothed, but
clothed upon, that mortality might
be swallowed up of life.
5 Now he that hath wrought us

for the selfsame thing is God, who
[also] hath given unto us the earnest
of the Spirit.
6 Therefore we are always con
fident, knowing that, whilst we are
at home in the body, we are absent
from the Lord ;
_ 7 (For we walk by faith, not by
sight : )
8 We are confident, I say, and
willing rather to be absent frora the
body, and to be present with the
Lord. 9 Wherefore we labour, that,
whether present or absent, we raay
be accepted of him.
10_ For we must all appear before
the judgment seat of Christ; that
every one may receive, the things
done In his body, according to that
he hath done, whether it be good or
bad. 11 Knowing therefore the terror
of the Lord, we persuade men; but
we are made manifest unto God;
and I trust also are made manifest
in your consciences.
12 [For] we commend not our
selves again unto you, but give you
occasion to glory on our behaU, that
ye may have somewhat to answer
them which glory in appearance, arfd
not In heart. ,
13 For whether we be beside our
selves, it is to God; or whether we
be sober, it is for your cause.

stralneth us; because we thus judge,

all dead:

again. 16 Wherefore henceforth know we
no raan after the fiesh: yea, though
we have known Christ after the fiesh,
yet now henceforth know we him
no more,
17 Therefore if any man be in
Christ, he is a new creature: old
things are passed away; behold, [all
things: they] are become new,
18 And all things are of God,
who hath reconciled us to hiraself by
[Jesus] Christ, and hath given to us
the ministry of reconciliation ;
19 To wit, that God was in Christ,
reconciling the world unto himself,
not imputing their trespasses unto
them; and hath committed -unto us
the word of reconciliation,

for Christ, as though God did beseech
you by us : we pray you in Christ's

might be made the righteousness of
God in him.

HAVING therefore these pro

cleanse ourselves frora all filthiness of
the flesh and spirit, perfecting holi
ness In the fear of God.
2 Eeceive us ; we have wronged
no man, we have corrupted no man,
we have defrauded no man.
3 I speak not this to condemn
you: for I have said before, that ye
are in our hearts to die and live with
you. 4 Great is my boldness of speech
toward you, great is my glorying of
you: I ara filled with comfort, I am
exceeding joyful in all our tribulation.
5 For, when we were come into
Macedonia, our flesh had no rest, but
we were troubled on every side ;
without were fightings, within were
fears. 6 Nevertheless God, that com
forteth those that are cast down,
comforted us by the coming of 'Titus ;
7 And not by his coming only,
but by the consolation wherewith he
was comforted In you, when he told
us your earnest desire, your mourn
ing, your fervent mind toward me;
so that I rejoiced the more.

you sorry

8 For though I made
with a letter, I do not repent, though
I did repent: for I perceive that the
same epistle hath made you sorry,
though it were but for a season.
9 Now I rejoice, not that ye were
made sorry, but that ye sorrowed to
repentance; for ye were made sorry
after a godly manner, that ye might
receive- damage by us in nothing.
10 For godly sorrow worketh re
pentance to salvation not to be
repented of: but the sorrow of the
world worketh death.
11 For behold this selfsame thing,
that ye sorrowed after a godly sort,
what carefulness it wrought in you,
yea, what clearing of yourselves, yea,
what indignation, yea, what fear,
yea, what vehement desire, yea, what
zeal, yea, what revenge ! In all
things ye have approved yourselves
to be clear In this matter.
12 Wherefore, though I wrote
unto you, I did It not for his cause
that had done the wrong, nor for his
cause that suffered wrong, but that
[our care for you: your care for ws[
in the sight of God might appear
unto you.
13 Therefore we were comforted
[in your comfort: yea, and; and on
our comfort] ex;ceedingly the more
joyed we for the joy of Titus, because
his spirit was refreshed by you all.
14 For if I have boasted any
thing to him of you, I am not
ashamed; but as we spake all things
to you in truth, even so lour boast
ing: the boasting of you], whibh I
made before Titus, is found a
truth.

CHAP, VIIL
MOEEOVEE, brethren, we do
you to wit of the grace of God
bestowed on the churches of Mace
donia ;
2 How that in a great trial of
affliction the abundance of their joy
and their deep poverty abounded
unto the riches of their liberality.
3 For to their power, I bear
record, yea, and beyond their power
they were willing of themselves;
¦4 Praying [us with rauch intreaty
that we would receive the gift, and
take upon us : of us ivith much intreaty
the gift and] the fellowship of the
ministering 'to the saints.
5 And this they did, not as we
hoped, but first gave their own selves
to the Lord, and unto us by the will
of God.
6 Insomuch that we desired Titus,
that as he had begun, so he would
also finish In you the same grace also.
7 Therefore, as ye abound in every
thing, in faith, and utterance, and
knowledge, and in all diligence, and
in your love to us, see that ye abound
in this grace also.
8 I speak not by coramandment,
but by occasion of the forwardness of
others, and to prove the sincerity of
your love.
9 For ye know the grace of our
Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he
was rich, yet for your sakes he

became poor, that ye through his
poverty might be rich.
10 And herein I give my advice:
for this is expedient for you, who
have begun before, not only to do
but also to be forward a year ago.
11 Now therefore perform the
doing of it ; that as there was a
readiness to will, so there may be
a performance also out of that which
ye have.
12 For if there be first a willing
mind, it Is accepted according to that
a man hath, and not according to
that he hath not.
13 For I mean not that other
men be eased, and ye burdened :
14 But by an equality, that now
at this time your abundance may be
a supply for their want, that their '
abundance also raay be a supply for
your want : that there may be
equality :
15 As it is written. He that had
gathered much had nothing over ; '
and he that had gathered Httle had
no lack.
16 But thanks be to God, which
put the sarae earnest care Into the
heart of Titus for you,
17 For indeed he accepted the
exhortation ; but being raore forward,
of his own accord he went unto you.
18 And we have sent with him
the brother, whose praise is in the
gospel throughout all the churches;
19 And not that only, but -who
was also chosen of the churches to
travel with us with this grace, which
is administered by us to the glory of
the same Lord, and declaration of
[your; our] ready mind,
20 Avoiding this, that no man
should blame us in this abundance
which is administered by us :

21 Providing for honest things,
not only in the sight of the Lord,
but also in the sight of men.
22 And we have sent with them
our brother, whom we have often
times proved diligent In many things,
but now rauch more diligent, upon the
great confidence which I have in you.
23 Whether any do enquire of
Titus, he is my partner and fellow-
helper concerning' you: or our
brethren be enquired of, they are the
messengers of the churches, and the
glory of Christ.
24 Wherefore shew ye to them,
[and] before the churches, the proof
of your love, and of our boststing on
your behalf.
CHAP. IX.
EOE as touching the ministering
to the saints, it is superfluous
for me to write to you :
2 For I know the forwardness of
your mind, for which I boast of you
to them of Macedonia, that Achaia
was ready a year ago ; and your zeal
hath provoked very many.
3 Yet have I sent the brethren,
lest our boasting of you should be in
vain in this behalf; that, as I said,
ye may be ready :
4 Lest haply if they of Macedonia
come -with ttie, and find you unpre
pared, we (that we say not, ye) should
be ashamed in this [same confident
boasting: confidence].
5 Therefore I thought it necessary
to exhort the brethren, that they
would go before unto you, and make
up beforehand your bounty, whereof
ye had notice before,. that the same
might be ready, as a matter of bounty,
and not as of covetousness.

6 _ But this I say. He which soweth
sparingly shall reap also sparingly ;
and he which soweth bountifully shall
reap also bountifully.
7 Every man according as he pur-
poseth in his heart, so let him give ;
not grudgingly, or of necessity: for
God loveth a cheerful giver.
8 And God is able to make all
grace abound toward you ; that ye,
always, having all sufficiency In all
things, may abound to every good
work: 9 (As it is written, He hath dis
persed abroad ; he hath given to the
poor ; his righteousness remalneth for
ever. 10 Now he that minlstereth seed
to the sower [wilX] both minister
bread for your food, and multiply
your seed sown, and increase the
fruits of your righteousness ;)
11 Being enriched in every thing
to all bountifulness, which causeth
through us thanksgiving to God.
12 For the administration of this
service not only supplieth the want
of the saints, but is abundant also
by many thanksgivings unto God;
13 Whiles by the experiment of
this ministration they glorify God
for your professed subjection unto
the gospel of Christ, and for your
liberal distribution unto them, and
unto all men ;
14 And by their prayer for you,
which long after you for the ex
ceeding grace of God in you.
15 Thanks be unto God for his
unspeakable gift.

of Christ, who in presence am base
among you, but being absent am bold
toward you:
2 But I beseech you, that I may
not be bold when I am present with
that confidence, wherewith I think
to be bold against some, which think
of us as if we walked according to
the fiesh.
3 For though we walk in the flesh,
we do not war after the flesh:
4 (For the weapons of our warfare
are not carnal, but mighty, through
God to the pulling down of strong
holds;) 5 Casting down imaginations, and
every high thing that exalteth itself
against the knowledge of God, and
bringing into captivity every thought
to the obedience of Christ ;
6 And having in a readiness to
revenge all disobedience, when your
obedience is fulfilled.
7 Do ye look on things after the
outward appearance? If any man
trust to himself that he is Christ's,
let him of himself think this again,
that, as he Is Christ's, even so are we
[Christ's]. 8 For though I should boast some
what more of our authority, which
the Lord hath given [us] for edifica
tion, and not for your destruction, I
should not be asharaed :
.9 That I raay not seera as if I
would terrify you by letters.
10 For his letters, -say they, are
weighty and powerful ; but his bodily
presence is weak, and his speech con
temptible. 11 Let such an one think this,
that, such as we are in word by letters
when we are absent, such will we be
also In deed when we are present.

12 For we dare not make our
selves of the number, or compare
ourselves with some that commend
themselves : but they measuring them
selves by themselves, and comparing
theraselves among themselves, are not
wise. 13 But we will not boast of things
without our measure, but according
to the measure ofthe rule which God
hath distributed to us, a measure to
reach even unto you.
14 For we stretch not ourselves
beyond our measure, as though we
reached not unto you: for we are
come as far as to you also in preach
ing the gospel of Christ:
15 Not boasting of things without
our measure, that Is, of other men's
labours ; but having hope, when your
faith is increased, that we shall he
enlarged by you according to out
rule abundantly,
16 To preach the gospel in the
regions beyond you, and not to boast
In another man's line of things made
ready to our hand.
17 But he that glorieth, let him
glory in the Lord.
18 For not he that commendeth
himself is approved, but whom the
Lord commendeth.

his subtilty, [so] your minds should
be corrupted from the simplicity that
is in Christ.
4 For if he that cometh preacheth
another Jesus, whom we have not
preached, or if ye receive another
spirit, which ye have not received,
or another gospel, which ye have not
accepted, ye might well bear with
him. 5 For I suppose I was not a whit
behind the very chiefest apostles.
6 But though I be' rude in speech,
yet not in knowledge ; but we [ have
been throughly made: throughout
made, things] manifest among you in
all things.
7 Have I committed an offence in
abasing myself that ye might be ex
alted, because I have preached to
you the gospel of God freely?
8 I robbed other churches, taking
wages of thera, to do you service.
9 And when I was present with
you, and wanted, I was chargeable
to no man: for that 'vfhich was lack
ing to me the brethren which came
from Macedonia supplied: and in all
things I have kept myself from being
burdensome unto you, and so will I
keep myself.
10 As the truth of Christ is in
me, no man shall stop me of this
boasting in the regions of Achaia.
11 Wherefore? because I love you
not? God knoweth.
12 But what I do, that I will do,
that I may cut off occasion from
them which desire occasion; that
wherein they glory, they may be
found even as we.
13 For such are false apostles,
deceitful workers, transforming thera
selves into the apostles of Christ.
14 And no marvel; for Satan

himself is transformed into an angel
of light.
15 Therefore it is no great thing
if his ministers also be transformed
as the ministers of righteousness;
whose end shall be according to their
works. 16 I say again, Let no raan think
me a fool ; if otherwise, yet as a fool
receive rae, that I may boast myself
a little. 1 7 That which I speak, I speak it
not after the Lord, but as it were
fooUshly, in this confidence of boast
ing. 18 Seeing that many glory after
the flesh, I will glory also.
19 For ye suffer fools gladly, see
ing ye yourselves are wise.
20 For ye suffer, if a man bring
you Into bondage, if a man devour
you, if a raan take of you, if a raan
exalt himself, if a man smite you on
the face.
21 I speak as concerning reproach,
as though we had been weak. How
beit whereinsoever any is bold, (I
speak foolishly,) I am bold also.
22 Are they Hebrews ? so am I.
Are they Israelites ? so am I. Are
they the seed of Abraham? so am I.
23 Are they ministers of Christ ?
(I speak as a fool) I am more; in
labours more abundant, in stripes
above measure, in prisons more fre
quent, in deaths oft.
24 Of the Jews five times received
I forty stripes save one.
25 Thrice was I beaten with rods,
once was I stoned, thrice I suffered

4 How that he was caught up
Into paradise, and heard unspeakable
words, whicli it is not lawful for a
man to utter.
6 Of such an one will I glory: yet
of myself I will not glory, but In
mine infirmities.
6 For though I would desire to
glory, I shaU not be a fool ; for I
will say the truth ; but now I for
bear, lest any man should think of
me above that which he seeth me to
be, or that he heareth of me.
7 And lest I should be exalted
above measure through the abun
dance of the revelations, there was
given to me a thorn in the flesh, the
messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest
I should be exalted above measure.
8 For this thing I besought the Lord
thrice, that it might depart from me.
9 And he said unto me. My grace
is sufficient for thee : for my strength
is made perfect in weakness. Most
gladly therefore will I rather glory
in my infirmities, that the power of
Christ may rest upon me.
10 Therefore I take pleasure in
infirmities, in reproaches, in neces
sities, in persecutions. In distresses
for Christ's sake : for when I am
weak, then am I strong.
1 1 I am become a fool [in glory
ing] ; ye have compelled me : for I
ought to have been commended of
you : for in nothing am I behind the
very chiefest apostles, though I he
nothing. 12 Truly the signs of an apostle
were wrought among you in all
patience, in signs, and wonders, and
mighty deeds.

13 For what is it wherein ye were
inferior to other churches, except
it be that I myself was not burden
some to you ? forgive me this wrong.
14 Behold, the third time I am
ready to come to you; and I will not
be burdensome [to you] : for I seek
not your's, but you : for the children
ought not to lay up for the parents,
but the parents for the children.
15 And I will very gladly spend
and be spent for you; though the
more abundantly I love you, the less
I be loved.
16 But be it so, I did not burden
you: nevertheless, being crafty, I
caught you -with guile.
17 Did I make a gain of you by
any of thera whom I sent unto you ?
18 I desired Titus, and with him
I sent a brother. Did Titus raake a
gain of you ? walked we not in the
same spirit ? walked we not in the
same steps ?
19 [Again, think ye; You liave
heen long thinking] that we excuse
ourselves unto you? we speak before
God in Christ : but we do all things,
dearly beloved, for your edifying.
20 For I fear, lest, when I come,
I shall not find you such as I would,
and that I shall be found unto you
such as ye would not ; lest there be
debates, envyings, wraths, strifes,
backbitings, whisperings, swellings,
tumults: 21 And lest, when I come again,
my God will humble me among you,
and that I shall bewail many which
have sinned already, and have not
repented of the uncleanness and forni
cation and lasciviousness which they
have committed.

CHAP. XIIL
THIS is the third time I am com
ing to you. In the mouth of
two or three witnesses shall every
word be established.
2 I told you before, and foretell
you, as if I were present, the second
time ; and being absent now [I write]
to them which heretofore have sinned,
and to all other, that, if I come again,
I will not spare :
3 Since ye seek a proof of Christ
speaking in me, which to you-ward
is not weak, but is mighty in you.
4 For though he was crucified
through weakness, yet he liveth by
the power of God. For we also are
weak in him, but we shall live with
him by the power of God toward you.
5 Examine yourselves, whether ye
be in the faith ; prove your own
selves. Know ye not your own
selves, how that Jesus Christ is in
you, except ye be reprobates?
6 But I trust that ye shall know
that we are not reprobates.
7 Now I pray to God that ye do
no evil ; not that we should appear
approved, but that ye should do that
which is honest, though we be as re
probates. 8 For we can do nothing against
the truth, but for the truth.
9 For we are glad, when we are
weak, and ye are strong ; [and] this
also we wish, even your perfection.
10 Therefore I write these things
being absent, lest being present I
should use sharpness, according to
the power which the Lord hath
given me to edification, and not to
destruction.

PAUL, an apostle, (not of men,
neither by man, but by Jesus
Christ, and God the Father, who
raised him frora the dead ;)
2 And all the brethren which
are with me, unto the churches of
Galatia :
3 Grace be to you and peace from
God the Father, and from our Lord
Jesus Christ,

that he might deliver us from this
present evil world, according to the
will of God and our Father ;
5 To whom be glory for ever and
ever. Amen.

8 But though we, or an angel
from heaven, preach any other gospel
unto you than that which we have
preached unto you, let him be ac
cursed. 9 As we said before, so say I now
again. If any raan preach any other
gospel unto you than that ye have
received, let hira be accursed.
10 For do I now persuade men,
or God ? or do I seek to please men?
[for] if I yet pleased men, I should
not be the servant of Christ.
11 But I certify you, brethren,
that the gospel which was preached
of me Is not after man.
12 For I neither received It of
man, neither was I taught it, but by
the revelation of Jesus Christ.
13 For ye have heard of my con
versation in time past in the Jews
reUgion, how that beyond measure I
persecuted the church of God, and
wasted it :
14 And profited in the Jews'

religion above many my equals in
mine own nation, being more exceed
ingly zealous of the traditions of my
fathers. 15 But when it pleased [God:
Him] who separated rae from my
mother's womb^ and called me b;f his
grace, 16 To reveal his Son in me, that
I might preach him among the hea
then; immediately I conferred not
with fiesh and blood :
17 Neither went I up to Jeru
salem to them which were apostles
before me; but I went into Arabia,
and returned again unto Damascus.
18 Then after three years I went
up to Jerusalem to see [Peter : Ce
phas], and abode with him fifteen
days. 19 But other of the apostles saw
I none, save James the Lord's brother.
20 Now the things which I write
unto you, behold, before God, I lie
not. 21 Afterwards I came into the
regions of Syria and CiUcia ;
22 And was unknown by face un
to the churches of Judsea which were
in Christ:
23 But they had heard only. That
he which persecuted us in times past
now preacheth the faith which once
he destroyed.
24 And they glorified God in me.

I should run, or had run, in vain.
3 But neither Titus, who was with
me, being a Greek, was compeUed to
be circumcised ;
4 And that because of false breth-
"ren unawares brought in, who came
in privily to spy out our liberty
which we have in Christ Jesus, that
they might bring us into bondage ;
5 To whom we gave place by sub
jection, no, not for an hour ; that the
truth of the gospel might continue
with you.
6 But of these who seemed to be
somewhat, (whatsoever they were, it
maketh no matter to me: God ac
cepteth no man's person :) for they
who seemed to be somewhat in con
ference added nothing to me:
7 But contrariwise, when they
saw that the gospel of the uncircum
cision was committed unto me, as the
gospel of the circumcision was unto
Peter; ' 8 (For he that wrought effectually
in Peter to the apostleship of the
circumcision, the sarae was raighty in
me toward the Gentiles :)
9 And when James, Cephas, and
John, who seemed to be pillars, per
ceived the grace that was given unto
me, they gave to rae and Barnabas
the right hands of fellowship; that
we should go unto the heathen, and
they unto the circuracision.
10 Only they would that we should
reraember the poor; the same which
I also was forward to do.
11 But when [Peter: Cephas] was
come to Antioch, I withstood hira to
the face, because he was to be
blamed. 12 For before that certain came
from James, he did eat with the

also. 2 And I went up by revelation,

Gentiles, but privately to them which

Gentiles : but when they were come,
he withdrew and separated himself,
fearing them which were of the
circumcision. •
13 And the other Jews dissembled
likewise with him; insomuch that
Barnabas also was carried away with'
their dissimulation,
14 Biit when I saw that they
walked not uprightly according to
the truth of the gospel, I said unto
[Peter: Cephas] before them all, If
thou, being a Jew, livest after the
raanner of Gentiles, and not as do
the Jews, [why ; how] corapellest
thou the Gentiles to live as do the
Jews? 15 We who are Jews by nature,
and not sinners of the Gentiles,
16 [i?M^] Knowing that a raan is
not justified by the works of the law,
but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even
we have believed in Jesus Christ, that
we raight be justified by the faith of
Chrjst, and not by the works of the
law: for by the works of the law
shall no flesh be justified,
17 But if, while we seek to be
justified by Christ, we ourselves also
are found sinners. Is therefore Christ
the minister of sin ? God forbid,
18 For if I build again the things
which I destroyed, I make myself a
transgressor. 19 For I through the law am
dead to the law, that I might live
unto God,
20 I ara crucified with Christ :
nevertheless I live; yet not I, but
Christ liveth in me; and the life
which I now live in the fiesh I live
by the faith of the Son of God, who
loved me, and gave himself for me.

21 I do not frustrate the grace of
God : for if righteousness come by
the law, then Christ is dead in vain.
CHAP. III.
O FOOLISH Galatians, who hath
" bewitched you, [that ye should
not obey the truth,] before whose
eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently
set forth, crucified [among you] ?
2 This only would I learn of you,
Eeceived ye the Spirit by the works
of the law, or by the hearing of
faith? 3 Are ye so foolish? having begun
in the Spirit, are ye no'w made per
fect by the fiesh?
4 Have ye suffered so many things
in vain ? if it be yet in vain.
5 He therefore that rainistereth to
you the Spirit, and worketh miracles
araong you, doeth he it by the works
of the law, or by the hearing of
faith ?
6 Even as Abraham believed God,
and it was accounted to him for
righteousness. 7 Know ye therefore that they
which are of faith, the same are the
children of Abraham.
8 And the scripture, foreseeing
that God would justify the heathen
through faith, preached before the
gospel unto Abraham, saying. In thee
shall all nations be blessed,
9 So then they which be of faith
are blessed with faithful Abraham.
10 For as raany as are of the
works of the law are under the curse:
for it is written. Cursed is every one
that continueth not in aU things which
are written in the book of the law to
do them.

11 But that no man is justified by
the law in the sight of God, it is
evident: for. The just shall live by
faith. 12 And the law is not of faith:
but, [The man: He] that doeth them
shall live in them.
13 Christ hath redeemed us from
the curse of the law, being made a
curse for us; for it is written. Cursed
is every one that hangeth on a tree ;
14 That the blessing of Abraham
might come on the Gentiles through
Jesus Christ ; that we might receive
the promise of the Spirit through
faith. 15 Brethren, I speak after the
manner of men; Though it be but
a man's covenant, yet if it be con
firmed, no man disannuUeth, or
addeth thereto.
16 Now to Abraham and his seed
were the proraises made. He saith
not. And to seeds, as of many; but
as of one. And to thy seed, which is
Christ. 17 And this I say, that the cove
nant, that was confirmed before of
God [In Christ], the law, which was
four hundred and thirty years after,
cannot disannul, that it should make
the promise of none effect.
18 For if the inheritance be of the
law, it is no more of promise; but
God gave it to Abraham by promise.
19 Wherefore then serveth the
law? It was added because of trans
gressions, till the seed should come to
whom the promise was made; and it
was ordained by angels in the hand
of a mediator.
20 Now a mediator is not a media
tor of one, but God is one.
21 Is the law then against the
promises of God ? God forbid : for if

there had been a law given which
could have given life, verily righteous
ness should have been by the law.
22 But the scripture hath con
cluded all under sin, that the promise
by faith of Jesus Christ might be
given to them that believe.
23 But before faith came, we were
kept under the law, shut up unto
the faith which should afterwards be
revealed. 24 Wherefore the law was our
schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, .
that we might be justified by faith.
25 But after that faith is come,
we are no longer under a school
master. 26 For ye are all the children of
God by faith in Christ Jesus.
27 For as many of you as have
been baptized into Christ have put
on Christ.
28 There is neither Jew nor
Greek, there is neither bond nor
free, there is neither male nor female :
for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.
29 , And if ye be Christ's, then are
ye Abraham's seed, [and] heirs ac
cording to the promise.
CHAP. IV.
nVrOW I say. That the heir, as
-L^ long as he is a child, differeth
nothing from a servant, though he
be lord of all;
2 But is under tutors and gover
nors until the time appointed of the
father. 3 Even so we, when we were
children, were in bondage under the
elements of the world;
4 But when the fulness of the
time was come, God sent forth his
Son, made of a woman, made under
the law.

adoption of sons.
6 And because ye are sons, God
hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son
Into J your : our ] hearts, crying,
Abba, Father.
7 Wherefore thou art no more a
servant, but a son; and if a son, then
an heir [ of God through Christ :
through God].
8 Howbeit then, when ye knew
.not God, ye did service unto them
which by nature are no gods.
9 But now, after that ye have
known God, or rather are known of
God, how turn ye again to the weak
and beggarly elements, whereunto ye
desire again to be in bondage?
10 Ye observe days, and months,
and times, and years.
Ill ara afraid of you, lest I have
bestowed upon you labour in vain.
12 Brethren, I beseech you, be as
I ara; for I am as ye are: ye have
not injured me at all.
1 3 Ye know how through infi.rralty
of the fiesh I preached the gospel unto
you at the first.
14 Aild [ray : the] teraptatlon which
was In ray flesh ye despised not, nor
rejected; but received rae as an angel
of God, even as Christ Jesus.
15 Where Is then the blessedness
ye spake of? for I bear you record,
that, if it had been possible, ye would
have plucked out your own eyes, and
have given thera to me.

16 Ara I therefore become your
enemy, because I tell you the truth?
17 They zealously affect you, but
not well; yea, they would exclude
you, that ye might affect them.
18 But it is good to be zealously
affected always in a good thing, and
not only when I am present with you.
19 My little children, of whom I
travail in birth again until Christ
be formed in you,
20 I desire to be present with you
now, and to change my voice; for I
stand in doubt of you.
21 Tell me, ye that desire to be
under the law, do ye not hear the law?
22 For it is written, that Abra
ham had two sons, the one by a
bondmaid, the other by a freewoman.
23 But he who was of the bond
woman was bom after the flesh; but
he of the freewoman was by promise.
24 Which things are an allegory:
for these "are [the] two covenants;
the one frora the raount Sinai, which
gendereth to bondage, which is Agar.
25 For [this Agar is mount Sinai:
mount Sinai is] in Arabia, and an
swereth to Jerusalera which now Is,
[and : for she] is in bondage with her
children, 26 But Jerusalera which Is above
is free, which is the raother of us [all].
27 For it is written, Eejolce, thou
barren that bearest not ; break forth
and cry, thou that travailest not: for
the desolate hath raany more children
than she which hath an husband.

28 Now [we; you], brethren, as
Isaac was, are the children of promise.
29 But as then he that was born
after the flesh persecuted him that
was born after the Spirit, even so it
is now. 30 Nevertheless what saith the
scripture? Cast out the bondwoman
and her son ; for the son of the bond-
woraan shall not be heir with the son
of the freewoman.
31 So then, brethren, we are not
children of the bondworaan, but of
the free.
CHAP. V.
STAND fast therefore in the liberty
wherewith Christ hath raade us
free, and be not entangled again with
the yoke of bondage.
2 Behold, I Paul say unto you,
that if ye be circuracised, Christ shall
profit you nothing.
3 For I testify again to every man
that is circumcised, that he is a debtor
to do the whole law.
4 Christ is become of no effect unto
you, whosoever of you are justified by
the law ; ye are fallen from grace.
5 For we through the Spirit wait
for the hope of righteousness by faith.
6 For in Jesus Christ neither cir
cumcision availeth any thing, nor un
circumcision ; but faith which worketh
by love.
7 Ye did run well; who did hinder
you that ye should not obey the truth ?
8 This persuasion cometh not of
him that calleth you.
9 A Uttle leaven leaveneth the
whole lump.
10 I have confidence in you
through the Lord, that ye will be
none otherwise minded : but he that

troubleth you shall bear his judg
ment, whosoever he be.
11 And I, brethren, if I yet preach
circuracision, why do I yet suffer per
secution? then is the offence of the
cross ceased.
12,1 would they were even cut ofl
which trouble you.
13 For, brethren, ye have been
called unto liberty ; only use not
liberty for an occasion to the flesh,
but by love serve one another.
14 For all the law is fulfilled in
one word, even in this ; Thou shalt
love thy-neighbour as thyself.
15 But if ye bite and devour one
another, take heed that ye be not
consumed one of another.
16 This I say then. Walk in the
Spirit, and ye shaU not fulfil the lust
of the fiesh.
17 For the flesh lusteth against
the Spirit, and the Spirit against the
flesh : and these are contrary the one
to the other ; so that ye cannot do
the things that ye would.
18 But if ye be led of the Spirit,
ye are not under the law.
19 Now the works ofthe flesh are
manifest, which are these ; [Adultery,]
fornication, uncleanness, lascivious
ness, 20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred,
variance, emulatlqps, wrath, strife,
seditions, heresies,
21 Envyings, [murders,] drunken
ness, revellings, and such like : of the
which I tell you before, as I have also
told you in time past, that they which
do such things shall not inherit the
kingdom of God.
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is
love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentle
ness, goodness, faith,

23 Meekness, temperance : against
such there is no law.
24 And they that are [Jesus]
Christ's have crucified the flesh with
the affections and lusts.
25 If we live in the Spirit, let us
also walk in the Spirit.
26 Let us not be desirous of vain
glory, provoking one another, envy

CHAP. VI.
BEETHEEN, if a man be over
taken In a fault, ye which are
spiritual, restore such an one in the
spirit of meekness; considering thy
self, lest thou also be tempted.
2 Bear ye one another's burdens,
and so fulfil the law of Christ.
• 3 For if a man think himself to be
something, when he is nothing, he
deceiveth himself.
4 But let every man prove his
own work, and then shall he have re
joicing in himself alone, and not in
another. 5 For every man shall bear his
own burden.
6 Let hira that is taught in the
word coraraunicate unto him that
teacheth in all good things.
7 Be not deceived ; God is not
mocked : for whatsoever a man
soweth, that shall he also reap.

shall of the flesh reap corruption ;
but he that soweth to the Spirit shall
of the Spirit reap life everlasting.

10 As we have therefore oppor

especially unto them who are of the
household of faith.
11 Ye see how large a letter I
have written unto you with mine
own hand.
12 As many as desire to make a
fair shew in the flesh, they constrain
you to be circumcised; only lest they
should suffer persecution for the cross
of Christ.
13 For neither they themselves
who are circumcised keep the law;
but desire to have you circumcised,
that they may glory in your flesh.
14 But God forbid that I should
glory, save in the cross of our Lord
Jesus Christ, by whom the world is
crucified unto me, and I unto the
world, 15 For [in Christ Jesus] neither
circumcision [availeth : is] any thing,
nor uncircumcision, but a new
creature, 16 And as raany as walk accord

and mercy, and upon the Israel of
God, 17 From henceforth let no man
trouble me: for I bear in my body
the marks of the [Lord] Jesus.

CHAP, I,
PAUL, an apostle of Jesus Christ
by the will of God, to the'saints
which are at Ephesus, and to the
faithful In Christ Jesus :
2 Grace be to you, and peace,
from God our Father, and frora the
Lord Jesus Christ.
3 Blessed be the God and Father
of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath
blessed us with all spiritual blessings
in heavenly places in Christ :
4 According as he hath chosen us
in him before the foundation of the
world, that we should be holy and
without blame before him in love :
5 Having predestinated us unto
the adoption of children by Jesus
Christ to himself, according to the
good pleasure of his will,
6 To the praise of the glory of his
grace, [wherein: wherewith] he hath
made us accepted in the beloved.
7 In whom we have redemption
through his blood, the forgiveness of
sins, according to the riches of his
grace'; 8 Wherein he hath abounded to
ward us in all wisdom and- prudence ;
9 Having made known unto us the
mystery of his will, according to his
good pleasure which he hath pur
posed in himself:

10 That in the dispensation of the
fulness of times he might gather to
gether in one all things in Christ,
[both] which are in . heaven, and
which are on earth ; even in him ;
1 1 In whom also we have obtained
an inheritance, being predestinated
according to the purpose of him who
worketh all things after the counsel
of his own will:
12_ That we should be to the praise
of his glory, who first trusted in
Christ. 13 In whom ye also trusted, after
that ye heard the word of truth, the
gospel of your salvation ; in whom
also after that ye believed, ye were
sealed with that holy Spirit of pro
mise, 14 _ Which Is the earnest of our
Inheritance untU the redemption of
the_ purchased possession, unto the
praise of his glory.
15 Wherefore I also, after I heard
of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and
love unto all the saints,
16 Cease not to give thanks for
you, making mention [of you] in my
prayers; 17 That the God of our Lord
Jesus Christ, the Father of glory,
may give unto you the spirit of
wisdom and revelation in' the know
ledge of him :

18 The eyes of your [understand

ye may know what is the hope of his
calling, [and] what the riches of the
glory of his inheritance in the saints,
19 And what is the exceeding
greatness of his power to us- ward who
believe, according to the working of
his mighty power,
20 Which he wrought In Christ,
when he raised hira from the dead,
and set hira at his own right hand in
the heavenly places,
21 Far above all principality, and
power, and might, and dominion, and
every name that Is named, not only
in this world, but also in that which
is to come :
22 And hath put all things under
his feet, and gave him to be the
head over all things to the church,
23 Which Is his body, the fulness
of him that filleth all in all.
CHAP. IL
AND you hath he quickened, who
were dead In trespasses and sins ;
2 Wherein in time past ye walked
according to the course of this world,
according to the prince of the power
of the air, the spirit that now work
eth in the children of disobedience :
3 Among whom also we all had our
conversation In times past in the lusts
of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of
the flesh and of the mind; and were
by nature the children of wrath, even
as others.
4 But God,, who Is rich in raercy,
for his great love wherewith he loved
us, 5 Even when we were dead in
sins, hath quickened us together with
Christ, (by grace ye are saved ;)

6 And hath raised us up together,
and made us sit together in heavenly
places in Christ Jesus :
7 That in the ages to come he
might shew the exceeding riches of
his grace in his kindness toward us
through Christ Jesus.
8 For by grace are ye saved
through faith ; and that not of your
selves : it is the gift of God ;
9 Not of works, lest any man
should boast.
10 For we are his workmanship,
created in Christ Jesus unto good
works, which God hath before orj
dained that we should walk in them.
11 Wherefore reraember, that ye
being in time past Gentiles in the
fiesh, who are called Uncircumcision
by that which is called the Circum
cision In the flesh made by hands ;
1 2 That at that time ye were with
out Christ, being aliens from the com-
raonwealth of Israel, and strangers
from the covenants of promise, having
no hope, and without God in the world :
1 3 But now in Christ Jesus ye who
sometimes were far off are made nigh
by the blood of Christ.
14 For he Is our peace, who hath
made both one, and hath broken
down the middle waU of partition
between us ;
15 Having abolished in his flesh
the enmity, even the law of com
mandments contained in ordinances ;
for to make in himself of twain one
new man, so making peace;
16 And that he might reconcile
both unto God In one body by the
cross, having slain the enmity thereby :
17 And came and preached peace
to you which were afar off, and
[peace] to them that were nigh.

CHAP, III.
FOE this cause I Paul, the prisoner
of Jesus Christ for you Gentiles,
2 If ye have heard of the dispen
sation of the grace of God which is
given rae to you-ward :
3 How that by revelation [he:
was] made known unto me the
mystery; (as I wrote afore in few
words, 4 Whereby, when ye read, ye raay
understand my knowledge in the
mystery of Christ)
5 Which in other ages was not
made known unto the sons of raen,
as it is now revealed unto his holy
apostles and prophets by the Spirit ;
6 That the Gentiles should be
fellowheirs, and of the same body,
and partakers of [his ; the] promise in
Christ [Jesus] by the gospel ;
7 Whereof I was made a minister,
according to the gift of the grace of
God given unto me by the effectual
working of his power.

8 Unto me, who am less than the ¦
least of all saints, is this grace given,
that I should preach among the
Gentiles the unsearchable riches of
Christ ;
9 And to make all men see what
is the fellowship of the mystery,
which frora the beginning of the
world hath been hid in God, who
created all things [by Jesus Christ] :
10 To the intent that now unto the
principalities and powers in heavenly
places might be known by the church
the manifold wisdom of God,
11 According to the eternal pur
pose which he purposed in Christ
Jesus our Lord :
12 In whom we have boldness
and access with confidence by the
faith of hira.
13 Wherefore I desire that ye
faint not at my tribulations for you,
which is your glory.
14 For this cause I bow my knees
unto the Father [of our Lord Jesus
Christ,] 15 Of whom the whole family In
heaven and earth is named,
16 That he would grant you, ac
cording to the riches of his glory, to
be strengthened with might by his
Spirit in the inner man ;
17 That Christ may dwell in your
hearts by faith ; that ye, being rooted
and grounded in love,
18 May be able to comprehend
with all saints what is the breadth,
and length, and depth, and height ;
19 And to know the love of Christ,
which passeth knowledge, that ye
might be filled with all the fulness of
God.

CHAP, IV.
I THEEEFOEE, the prisoner of
the Lord, beseech you that ye
walk worthy of the vocation where-
¦with ye are called,
2 With all lowliness and meekness,
with longsuffering, forbearing one
another in love;
3 Endeavouring to keep the unity
of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
4 There is one body, and one
Spirit, even as ye are called in one
hope of your caUing ;
5 One Lord, one faith, one bap
tism, 6 One God and Father of all, who
is above all, and through all, and In
[you] aU.
7 But unto every one of us is given
grace according to the measure of the
gift of Christ.
8 Wherefore he saith. When he
ascended up on high, he led cap
tivity captive, [and] gave gifts unto
men. 9 (Now that he ascended, what is
it but that he also descended [first]
into the lower parts of the earth ?
10 He that descended is the same
also that ascended up far above all
heavens, that he raight fill all things.)
11 And he gave some, apostles;
and some, prophets; and some, evan
gelists ; and some, pastors and teachers ;

12 For the perfecting of the saints,
for the work of the ministry, for the
edifying of the body of Christ :
13 Till we all come in the unify
of the faith, and of the knowledge of
the Son of God, unto a perfect man,
unto the measure of the stature of the
fulness of Christ :
14 That we henceforth be no more
children, tossed to and fro, and car
ried about with every wind of doc
trine, by the sleight of men, and
cunning craftiness, whereby they lie
in wait to deceive;
15 But speaking the truth In love,
may grow up into him in all things,
which is the head, even Christ;
16 From whom the whole body
fitly joined together and compacted
by that which every joint supplieth j
according to the effectual working in
the measure of every part, maketh
increase of the body unto the edifying
of itself in love.
17 This I say therefore, and testify
In the Lord, that ye henceforth walk
not as [other] Gentiles walk. In thei
vanity of their mind,
18 Having the understanding
darkened, being alienated from the
life of God through the Ignorance
that is in them, because of tha blind"
ness of their heart :
19 Who being past feeling have
given themselves over unto lascivious
ness, to work all uncleanness 'with
greediness. 20 But ye have not so learned
Christ ;
21 If so be that ye have heard
him, and have been taught by him,
as the truth is in Jesus :

proceed out of your mouth, but that
which is good to the use of edifying,
that it may minister grace unto the

of God, whereby ye are sealed unto
the day of redemption,
31 Let all bitterness, and wrath,
and anger, and clamour, and evil

E ye therefore followers of God,
as dear children ;
2 And walk In love, as Christ also
us: you], and hath given
us: you] an offering and

hath loved
himself for

a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling
savour. 3 But fornication, and all unclean
ness, or covetousness, let it not be
once named among you, as becometh
saints ;
4 Neither filthiness, nor fooUsh
talking, nor jesting, which are not
convenient ; but rather giving of
thanks. 5 For this ye know, that no whore
monger, nor unclean person, nor covet
ous man, who is an idolater, hath any
inheritance in the kingdom of Christ
and of God.
6 Let no man deceive you with
vain words: for because of these
things cometh the wrath of God upon
the children of disobedience,
7 Be not ye therefore partakers
with them,
8 For ye were sometimes darkness,
but now are ye light in the Lord :
walk as children of Ught ;
9 (For the fruit of the [Spirit: -j-^
light] is in all goodness and righteous
ness and truth ;)
10 Proving what is acceptable un
to the Lord,
11 And have no fellowship with
the unfruitful works of darkness, but
rather reprove them,
12 For it is a shame even to speak
of those things which are done of
them in secret,
13 But all things that are reproved
are made manifest by the light: for
whatsoever doth make manifest is
light. 14 Wherefore he saith, Awake
thou that sleepest, and arise from the
dead, and Christ shall give thee
light, 15 See then that ye walk circum
spectly, not as fools, but as wise.

the wife, even as Christ is the head
of the church : [and he is the ; him

24 Therefore as the church is
subject unto Christ, so let the wives
be to their [own] husbands in every
thing. 25 Husbands, love your wives,
even as Christ also loved the church,
and gave himself for it;
26 That he might sanctify and
cleanse it with the washing of water
by the word,
27 That he might [present it to
himself a glorious church; himself
present the church to himself glorious].

not having spot, or wrinkle, or any
such thing; but that it should be
holy and without blemish.
28 So ought men [too] to love
their wives as their own bodies. He
that loveth his wife loveth himself
29 For no man ever yet hated
his own flesh ; but nourlsheth and
cherisheth it, even as the [Lord:
Christ ] the church :
~ 30 For we are members of his
body[, of his flesh, and of his bones]^'
31 For this cause shall a man leave
his father and mother, and shaU be
joined unto his wife, and they two
shall be one flesh.
32 This is a great mystery: but I
speak concerning Christ and the
church. 33 Nevertheless let every one of
you in particular so love his wife even
as himself ; and the wife see that she
reverence her husband.

THE EPISTLE OF PAUL THE APOSTLE

PHILIPPIANS,

CHAP, L
PAUL and TImotheus, the ser
vants of Jesus Christ, to all the
saints in Christ Jesus which are at
Philippi, with the bishops and deacons :
2 Grace be unto you, and peace,
from God our Father, and from the
Lord Jesus Christ.
3 I thank my God upon every re
membrance of you,
4 Always in every prayer of mine
for you all making request with joy,
5 For your fellowship in the gospel
from the first day until now;
6 Being confident of this very
thing, that he which hath begun a
good work In you will perform it
until the day of Jesus Christ:
7 Even as it is meet for rae to
think this of you all, because I have
you in my heart; inasmuch as both
in ray bonds, and in the defence and
confirraation of the gospel, ye all are
partakers of my grace.
8 For God is my record, how
greatly I long after you aU in the
bowels of Jesus Christ.
9 And this I pray, that your love
may abound yet more and more in
knowledge and in all judgment;
10 That ye may approve things
that are excellent; that ye may be
sincere and without offence till the
day of Christ;
1 1 Being filled with the fruits of
righteousness, which are by Jesus
Christ, unto theglory andpralseof God.

12 But I would ye should under
stand, brethren, that the things which
happened unto me have fallen out
rather unto the furtherance of the
gospel ;
13 So that my bonds in Christ are
manifest in all the palace, and In all
other places;
14 And many of the brethren in
the Lord, waxing confident by my
bonds, are much more bold to speak
the word without fear.
15 Some indeed preach Christ even
of envy and strife ; and some also of
good will :
16 The one preach Christ of con
tention, not sincerely, supposing to
[add: raise up] affliction to my bonds:
17 But the other of love, knowing
that I am set for the defence of the
gospel. 18 What then? notwithstanding,
every way, whether in pretence, or in
truth, Christ is preached; and I
therein do rejoice, yea, and 'wHl
rejoice, 19 For I know that this shaU turn
to ray salvation through your prayer,
and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus
Christ, 20 According to my earnest ex
pectation and my hope, that in no
thing I shall be ashamed, but that
with all boldness, as always, so no'w
also Christ shall be magnified in my
body, whether it be by life, or by
death.

PHILIPPIANS, IL

21 For to me to live is Christ, and
to die is gain.
22 But if I Uve in the flesh this is
the fruit of my labour; yet what I
shaU choose I wot not.
23 For I am in a strait betwixt
two, having a desire to depart, and
to be with Christ; [which; for it] is
far better;
24 Nevertheless to abide in the
flesh is more needful for you.
25 And having this confidence, I
know that I shall abide and continue
with you all for your furtherance and
joy of faith;
26 That your rejoicing may be
more abundant in Jesus Christ for me
by my coming to you again.
27 Only let your conversation be
as it becometh the gospel of Christ :
that whether I come and see you, or
else be absent, I may hear of your
affairs, that ye stand fast in one spirit,
with one mind striving together for
the faith of the gospel ;
28- And in nothing terrified by
your adversaries: which is to them
an evident token of perdition, but
to you of salvation, and that of God.
29 For unto you it is given in the
behalf of Christ, not only to beUeve
on him, but also to suffer for his sake;
30 Having the sarae conflict which
ye saw in me, and now hear to be in
me. CHAP. IL
IF there be therefore any consola
tion in Christ, if any comfort of
love, if any feUowship of the Spirit,
if any bowels and mercies,
2 Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be
likeminded, having the same love,
being of one accord, of one mind.
3 Let nothing be done through
strife or vainglory ; but in lowliness
of mind let each esteem other better
than themselves.

4 Look not every man on his own
things, but every man also on the
things of others.
5 Let this mind be in you, which
was also in Christ Jesus ;
6 Who, being in the form of God,
thought it not robbery to be equal
with God:
7 But made himself of no reputa
tion, and took upon him the form of
a servant, and was made in the Uke-
ness of men :
8 And being found in fashion as a
man, he humbled himself, and became
obedient unto death, even the death
ofthe cross.
9 Wherefore God also hath highly
exalted him, and given him a name
which is above every narae ;
10 That at the name of Jesus every
knee should bow, of things in heaven,
and things in earth, and things under
the earth;
11 And that every tongue should
confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to
the glory of God the Father,
12 Wherefore, ray beloved, as ye
have always obeyed, not as in my
presence only, but now much more
in ray absence, work out your own
salvation with fear and trerabling.
13 For it is God which worketh
in you both to wiU and to do of his
good pleasure.
14 Do all things without murmur-
ings and disputlngs :
15 That ye may be blameless and
harmless, the sons of God, without
rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and
perverse nation, among whom ye
shine as lights in the world ;
16 Holding forth the word of life ;
that I may rejoice in the day of
Christ, that I have not run in vain,
neither laboured in vain.
17 Yea, and if I be offered upon
the sacrifice and service of your faith,
I joy, and rejoice with you all.

PHILIPPIANS, III.

18 For the same cause also do ye
joy, and rejoice with me,
19 But I trust in the Lord Jesus
to send TImotheus shortly unto you,
that I also may be of good comfort,
when I know your state,
20 For I have no man likeminded,
who will naturally care for your state.
21 For all seek their own, not the
things which are Jesus Christ's.
22 But ye know the proof of him,
that, as a son with the father, he hath
served with me in the gospel.
23 Him therefore I hope to send
presently, so soon as I shall see how
it will go with me.
24 But I trust In the Lord that I
also myself shall come shortly.
25 Yet I supposed it necessary to
send to you Epaphrodltus, my bro
ther, and companion in labour, and
feUowsoldier, but your messenger,
and he that ministered to ray wants.
26 For he longed after you all,
and was full of heaviness, because
that ye had heard that he had been
sick. 27 For indeed he was sick nigh
unto death: but God had raercy on
hira; and not on him only, but on
me also, lest I should have sorrow
upon sorrow.
28 I sent him therefore the raore
, carefully, that, when ye see him again,
ye may rejoice, and that I may be
the less sorrowful.
29 Eeceive hiin therefore in the
Lord with all gladness; and hold such
in reputation ;
30 Because for the work [of Christ]
he was nigh unto death, [not regard
ing: hazarding] his life, to supply
your lack of service toward me.

CHAP. IIL
FINALLY, my brethren, rejoice
in the Lord. To write the same
things to you, to rae indeed is not
grievous, but for you it is safe.
2 Beware of dogs, beware of evil
workers, beware of the concision.
3 For we are the circumcision,
which worship [God in the spirit: with
(ro<f's*S;3zVzi[,and rejoice inChnst Jesus,
and have no confidence in the flesh.
4 Though I might also have con
fidence in the fiesh. If any other
raan thinketh that he hath whereof
he might trust in the fiesh, I more:
5 Circuracised the eighth day, of
the stock of Israel, of the tribe of
Benjarain, an Hebrew of the Hebrews;
as touching the law, a Pharisee;
6 Concerning zeal, persecuting the
church; touching the righteousness
which is in the law, blameless.
7 But what things were gain to
me, those I counted loss for Christ.
8 Yea doubtless, and I count all
things but loss for the excellency of
the knowledge of Christ Jesus my
Lord : for whom I have suffered the
loss of all things, and do count them
but dung, that I raay win Christ,
9 And be found in him, not having
mine own righteousness, which Is of
the law, but that which is through
the faith of Christ, the righteousness
which is of God by faith :
10 That I may know hira, and the
power of his resurrection, and the
fellowship of his sufferings, being
made conformable unto his death;
11 If by any means I might attain
unto the resurrection [of : from] the
dead.

PHILIPPIANS, IV.

12 Not as though I had already
attained, either were already perfect :
but I foUow after, if that I may ap
prehend that for which also I am
apprehended of Christ [Jesus].
13 Brethren, I count not myself
to have apprehended ; but this one
thing I do, forgetting those things
which are behind, and reaching
forth' unto those things which are
before, 14 I press toward the mark for
the prize of the high calling of God
in Christ Jesus.
15 Let us therefore, as many as
be perfect, be thus minded: and if
in any thing ye be other'wise minded,
God shaU reveal even this unto you.
16 Nevertheless, whereto we have
already attained, let us walk [by the
same rule, let us mind the same thing ;
in the same line].
17 Brethren, be foUowers together
of me, and mark them which walk
so as ye have us for an ensample.
18 (For many walk, of whom I
have told you ofien, and now tell you
even weeping, that they are the ene
mies of the cross of Christ :
19 Whose end is destruction,
whose God is their belly, and whose
glory is in their shame, who mind
earthly things.)
20 For our conversation is in
heaven; from whence also we look
for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus
Christ :
21 Who shall change our vile
body, [that it may be] fashioned like
unto his glorious body, according to
the working whereby he is able
even to subdue all things unto him
seU".

CHAP. IV. ¦

THEEEFOEE, my brethren dearly
beloved and longed for, my joy
and crown, so stand fast in the Lord,
my dearly beloved.
2 I beseecSh Euodlas, and beseech
Syntyche, that they be of the same
mind in the Lord.
3 [And; Yea,] I intreat thee also,
true yokefeUow, help those women
which laboured with me in the gos
pel, with Cleraent also, and with
other my fellowlabourers, whose
names are in the book of life.
4 Eejoice in the Lord alway: and
again I say, Eejoice.
5 Let your moderation be known
unto all men. The Lord is at
hand. 6 Be careful for nothing ; but in
every thing by prayer and suppli
cation ¦with thanksgiving let your
requests be made known unto God.
7 And the peace of God, which
passeth all understanding, shall keep
your hearts and minds through Christ
Jesus. 8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever
things are true, whatsoever things
are honest, whatsoever things are
just, whatsoever things are pure,
whatsoever things are lovely, what
soever things are of good report; if
there be any virtue, and if there be
any praise, think on these things.
9 Those things, which ye have
both learned, and received, and heard,
and seen in me, do : and the God of
peace shall be with you.
10 But I rejoiced in the Lord
greatly, that now at the last your
care of me hath flourished again;

wherein ye were also careful, but ye
lacked opportunity.
11 Not that I speak in respect of
want : for I have learned, in whatso
ever state I am, therewith to be
content. 12 I know both how to be abased,
and I know how to abound : every
where and in aU things lam instructed
both to be full and to be hungry,
both to abound and to suffer need.
13 I can do all things through
[Christ: Him] which strengtheneth
me. 14 Notwithstanding ye have well
done, that ye did communicate with
my affliction.
15 Now ye Philippians know also,
that in the beginning of the gospel,
when I departed from Macedonia, no
church communicated with me as
concerning giving and receiving, but
ye only.
16 For even in Thessalonica ye
sent once and again unto my necessity.

17 Not because I desire a gift;
but I desire fruit that may abound to
your account.
18 But I have all, and abound:
I am full, having received of Epaph
rodltus the things which were sent
from you, an odour of a sweet smell,
a sacrifice acceptable, wellpleasing to
God. 19 But my God shall supply aU
your need according to his riches in
glory by Christ Jesus.
20 Now unto God and our Father
be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
21 Salute every saint in Christ

me greet you.

3 We give thanks to God [and]
the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
praying always for you,
4 Since we heard of your faith in
Christ Jesus, and of the love which
ye have to all the saints,
5 For the hope which is laid up
for you in heaven, whereof ye heard

our dear feUowservant, who is for you
a faithful minister of Christ ;
8 Who also declared unto us your
love in the Spirit.
9 For this cause we also, since the

derstanding ;
10 That ye might walk worthy of
the Lord unto all pleasing, being
fruitful in every good work, and
increasing [in: by] the knowledge of

which hath made us meet to be par

in light :
13 Who hath delivered us from

the power of darkness, and hath
translated us into the kingdom of his
dear Son :
14 In whom we have redemption
[through his blood], even the for
giveness of sins :
15 Who is the image of the in

creature ;
16 For by him were all things
created, that are in heaven, and that
are in earth, visible and invisible,
whether they be thrones, or do
minions, or principalities, or powers:
all things were created by him, and
for him :
17 And he is before all things,
and by hira aU things consist.
18 And he is the head of the body,
the church; who is the beginning,
the firstborn frora the dead ; that in
all things he might have the pre
eminence. 19 For it pleased the Father that
in him should all fulness dwell ;
20 And, having made peace through
the blood of his cross, by him to
reconcile all things unto hiraself; by
hira, I say, whether they be things
in earth, or things in heaven.
21 And you, that were sometirae

reconciled 22 In the body of his flesh through

5 For our gospel came not unto
you in word only, but also in power,
and in the Holy Ghost, and in much
assurance ; as ye know what manner
of men we were among you for your
sake. 6 And ye became followers of us,
and of the Lord, having received the
word in much aflBiction, with joy of
the Holy Ghost :
7' So that ye were [ensamples: an-
ensample] to all that believe in Ma
cedonia and Achaia.
8 For from you sounded out the
word of the Lord not only in Mace
donia and Achaia, but also In every
place your faith to God-ward is spread
abroad ; so that we need not to speak
any thing.
9 For they themselves shew of us
what manner of entering in we had
unto you, and how ye turned to God
from idols to serve the living and
true God ;
10 And to wait for his Son from
heaven, whom he raised from the
dead, even Jesus, which delivered us
from the wrath to come.
CHAP. II.
FOE yourselves, brethren, know
our entrance in unto you, that it
was not in vain :
2 But even after that we had
suffered before, and were shamefully
entreated, as ye know, at Philippi,
we were bold in our God to speak
unto you the gospel of God with
much contention.'
3 For our exhortation was not of
deceit, or of uncleanness, nor in
guile :
4 But as we were allowed of God
to be put in trust with the gospel,
even so we speak ; not as pleasing

men, but God, which trieth our
hearts. 5 For neither at any time used we
flattering words, as ye know, nor a
cloke of covetousness; God is wit
ness: 6 Nor of men sought we glory,
neither of you, nor yet of others,
when we might have been burden
some, as the apostles of Christ.
1- 7 But we were [gentle: child-like]
araong you, even as a nurse cherisheth
her children;
8 So being affectionately desirous
of you, we were willing to have im
parted unto you, not the gospel of
God only, but also our own souls,
because ye were dear unto us.
9 For ye remember, brethren, our
labour and travail: [for] labouring
night and day, because we would not
be chargeable . unto any of you, we
preached unto you the gospel of
God. 10 Ye are witnesses, and God also,
how holily and justly and unblame-
ably we behaved ourselves among
you that believe :
11 As ye know how we exhorted
and comforted and charged every
one of you, as a father doth his chil
dren, 12 That ye would walk worthy of
God, who hath called you unto his
kingdom and glory.
13 For this cause also' thank we
God without ceasing, because, when
ye received the word of God which
ye heard of us, ye received it not as
the word of men, but as it is in truth,
the word of God, which effectuaUy
worketh also in you that believe.
14 For ye, brethren, became fol
lowers of the churches of God which
in Judsea are in Christ Jesus : for ye

also have suffered like things of your
own countrymen, even as they have
of the Jews :
15 Who both klUed the Lord
Jesus, and [their own; the] prophets,
and have persecuted us; and they
please not God, and are contrary to
all men :
16 Forbidding us to speak to the
Gentiles that they might be saved,
to fill up their sins alway: for the
wrath is come upon them to the
uttermost. 17 But we, brethren, being taken
from you for a short time in presence,
not in heart, endeavoured the more
abundantly to see your face with
great desire.
18 Wherefore we would have come
unto you, even I Paul, once and
again ; but Satan hindered us.
19 For what is our hope, or joy,
or crown of rejoicing? Are not even
ye in the presence of our Lord Jesus
[Christ] at his coming?
20 For ye are our glory and joy.
CHAP. IIL
WHEEEFOEE when we could
no longer forbear, we thought
it good to be left at Athens alone ;
2 Ahd sent TImotheus, our bro
ther, and [minister of God, and our]
fellowlabourer in the gospel of Christ,
to estabUsh you, and to comfort you
concerning your faith :
3 That no man should be moved
by these afflictions: for yourselves
know that we are appointed there
unto. 4 For verily, when we were with
you, we told you before that we

should suffer tribulation; even as it
carae to pass, and ye know.
5 For this cause, when I could no
longer forbear, I sent to know your
faith, lest by sorae raeans the tempter
have tempted you, and our labour be
in vain.6 But now when TImotheus came
from you unto us, and brought us
good tidings of your faith and charity,
and that ye have good remembrance
of us always, desiring greatly to see
us, as we also to see you :
7 Therefore, brethren, we were
comforted over you in all our afflic
tion and distress by your faith :
8 For now we live, if ye stand fast
in the Lord.
9 For what thanks can we render
to God again for you, for all the joy
wherewith we joy for your sakes be
fore our God ;
10 Night and day praying exceed
ingly that we might see your face,
and might perfect that which Is lack
ing in your faith?
11 Now God hiraself and our
Father, and our Lord Jesus [Christ],
direct our way unto you.
12 And the Lord make you to in^
crease and abound in love one toward
another, and toward all raen, even as
we do toward you:
13 To the end he may stablish
your hearts unblameable in holiness
before God, even our Father, at the
coming of our Lord Jesus [Christ]
with all his saints.

you by the Lord Jesus, that as ye
have received of us how ye ought to
walk and to please God, [as you are
even walking^ so ye would abound
more and more.
2 For ye know what comraand
raents we gave you by the Lord
Jesus. 3 For this is the will of God, even
your sanctification, that ye should
abstain from fornication :
4 That every one of you should
know how to possess his vessel in
sanctification and honour;
5 Not in the lust of concupiscence,
even as the Gentiles which know not
God; 6 That no man go beyond and
defraud his brother in any matter:
because that the Lord is the avenger
of all such, as we also have forewarned
you and testified.
7 For God hath not called us unto
uncleanness, but unto holiness.
8 He therefore that despiseth, de
spiseth not 'man, but God, who hath
also given unto [us; you] his holy
Spirit. 9 But as touching brotherly love
ye need not that I write unto you:
for ye yourselves are taught of God to
love one another.
10 And indeed ye do it toward all
the brethren which are in all Mace
donia: but we beseech you, brethren,
that ye increase raore and raore;
11 And that ye study to be quiet,
and to do your own business, and to
work with your [own] hands, as we
commanded you ;
12 That ye may walk honestly to
ward thera that are without, and that
ye may have lack of nothing.

13 But I would not have you to
be ignorant, brethren, concerning
them which are asleep, that ye sorrow
not, even as others which have no
hope. 14 For if we believe that Jesus
died and rose again, even so them
also which sleep in Jesus will God
bring with hira.
15 For this we say unto you by
the word of the Lord, that we which
are alive and reraain unto the coming
of the Lord shall not prevent them
which are asleep.
16 For the Lord himself shall de
scend from heaven with a shout, with
the voice of the archangel, and with
the trurap of God : and the dead in
Christ shaU rise first :
17 Then we which are alive and
reraain shall be caught up together
with them in the clouds, to meet the
Lord in the air : and so shall we ever
be with the Lord.
18 Wherefore comfort one another
with these words.
CHAP. V.
BUT of the times and the seasons,
brethren, ye have no need that
I write unto you.
2 For yourselves know perfectly
that the day of the Lord so cometh
as a thief in the night.
3 [For] when they shall say. Peace
and safety; then sudden destruction
cometh upon them, as travail upon a
woman with child; and they shall
not escape.
4 But ye, brethren, are not in dark
ness, that that day should overtake
you as a thief.

I. THESSALONIANS, V.

5 [For] Ye are aU the children of
Ught, and the children of the day : we
are not of the night, nor of darkness.
6 Therefore let us not sleep, as do
others; but let us watch and be sober.
7 For they that sleep sleep in the
night; and they that be drunken are
drunken in the night.
8 But let us, who are of the day,
be sober, putting on the breastplate
of faith and love; and for an helmet,
the hope of salvation.
9 For God hath not appointed us
to wrath, but to obtain salvation by
our Lord Jesus Christ,
10 Who died for us, that, whether
we wake or sleep, we should live to
gether with him.
11 Wherefore corafort yourselves
together, and edify one another, even
as also ye do.
12 And we beseech you, brethren,
to know them which labour among
you, and are over you ia the Lord,
and admonish you;
13 And to esteem them very high
ly in love for their work's sake. And
be at peace among yourselves.
14 Now we exhort you, brethren,
warn them that are unruly, comfort
the feebleminded, support the weak,
be patient toward all men.

15 See that none render evil for
evil unto any man; but ever follow
that which is good, [both] among
yourselves, and to all men,
16 Eejoice evermore.
17 Pray without ceasing.
18 In everything give thanks; fi>r
this is the will of God in Christ Jesus
concerning you.
19 Quench not the Spirit.
20 Despise not prophesyings.
21 [But] Prove aU things; hold
fast that which is good.
22 Abstain from all appearance of
evil. 23 And the very God of peace
sanctify you wholly ; and I pray God
your whole spirit and soul and body
be preserved blameless unto the com
ing of our Lord Jesus Christ,
24 Faithful is he that calleth you,
who also will do it,
25 Brethren, pray for us.

CHAP. I.
PAUL, and Sllvanus, and TImo
theus, unto the church of the
Thessalonians in God our Father and
the Lord Jesus Christ :
2 Grace unto you, and peace, from
God our Father and the Lord Jesus
Christ. 3 We are bound to thank God
always for you, brethren, as it is
meet, because that your faith groweth
exceedingly, and the charity of every
one of you all toward each other
aboundeth ;
4 So that we ourselves glory in
you in the churches of God for your
patience and faith in all your persecu
tions and tribulations that ye endure :
5 Which is a manifest token of the
righteous judgment of God, that ye
may be counted worthy of the king
dom of God, for which ye also suffer ;
6 Seeing it is a righteous thing
with God to recompense tribulation
to thera that trouble you ;
7 And to you who are troubled
rest with us, when the Lord Jesus
shall be revealed from heaven with
his mighty angels,
8 In flaming fire taking vengeance
on them that know not God, and that
obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus
[Christ] ;

9 Who shall be punished with
everlasting destruction frora the pre
sence of the Lord, and from the glory
of his power;
10 When he shall come to be
glorified in his saints, and to be ad
mired in all thera that believe (be
cause our testimony among you was
believed) in that day.
11 Wherefore also we pray always
for you, that our God would count
you worthy of this calling, and fulfil
all the good pleasure of his goodness,
and the work of faith with power ;
12 That the name of our Lord
Jesus [Christ] may be glorified in you,
and ye in him, according to the grace
of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.

2 That ye be not soon shaken In

except there come a falling away

15 Therefore, brethren, stand fast,
and hold the traditions which ye have
been taught, whether by word, or our
epistle. 16 Now our Lord Jesus Christ
himself, and God, even our Father,
which hath loved us, and hath given
us everlasting consolation and good
hope through grace,
17 Comfort your hearts, and sta
blish you in every good word and
work. CHAP. IIL
FINALLY, brethren, pray for us,
that the word of the Lord may
have free course, and be glorified,
even as it is with you ;
2 And that we may be delivered
from unreasonable and wicked men :
for all men have not faith.
3 But the Lord is faithful, who
shall stabUsh you, and keep you from
evil. 4 And we have confidence in the
Lord touching you, that ye both do
and will do the things which we com
raand [you].
5 And the Lord direct your hearts
into the love of God, and into the
patient waiting for Christ.
6 Now we command you, brethren,
in the narae of [our : the] Lord Jesus
Christ, that ye withdraw yourselves
from every brother that walketh dis
orderly, and not after the tradition
which he received of us.
7 For yourselves know how ye
ought to follow us : for we behaved
not ourselves disorderly among you ;

bread for nought; but wrought with
labour and travail night and day,

THIS is a true saying, If a man
desire the ofiice of a bishop, he
desireth a good work,
2 A bishop then must be blame
less, the husband of one wife, vigilant,
sober, of good behaviour, given to
hospitality, apt to teach ;
3 Not given to wine, no striker,
[not greedy of filthy lucre;] but
patient, not a brawler, not covetous;
4 One that ruleth well his own
house, having his children in subjec
tion with all gravity;
5 (For if a man know not how to
rule his own house, how shall he take
care of the church of God ?)
6 Not a novice, lest being Hfted
up with pride he fall into the con
demnation of the devil.
7 Moreover he must have a good
report of them which are without ;
lest he fall into reproach and the
snare of the devil.
8 Likewise raust the deacons be
grave, not doubletongued, not given
to much wine, not greedy of filthy
lucre ;

9 Holding the mystery of the
faith in a pure conscience.
10 And let these also first be
proved ; then let them use the oflS.ce
of a deacon, being found blameless.
11 Even so must their wives be
grave, not slanderers, sober, faithful
in all things.
12 Let the deacons be the hus
bands of one wife, ruling their chil
dren and their own houses well.
13 For they that have used the
office of a deacon well purchase to
themselves a good degree, and great
boldness in the faith which is in
Christ Jesus.
14 These things write I unto thee,
hoping to come unto thee shortly;
15 But if I tarry long, that thou
mayest know how thou oughtest to
behave thyself in the house of God,
which is the church of the living
God, the pillar and ground of the
truth. ^

is the mystery of godliness: [God:

on in the world, received up into
glory.
CHAP. IV,
NOW the Spirit speaketh expressly,
that in the latter times some

good, and nothing to be refused, if it
be received with thanksgiving ;
5 For it is sanctified by the word
of God and prayer,
6 If thou put the brethren in re
membrance of these things, thou shalt
be a good minister of Jesus Christ,
nourished up in the words of faith
and of good doctrine, whereunto thou
hast attained,
7 But refuse profane and old wives'
fables, and exercise thyself rather
unto godliness.
8 For bodily exercise profiteth
Uttle: but godliness is profitable unto
all things, having promise of the life
that now is, and of that which is to
come. 9 This is a faithful saying and
worthy of aU acceptation.

in the living God, who is the Saviour
of all men, specially of those that
believe, 11 These things command and
teach, 12 Let no man despise thy youth ;

charity, [in spirit,] in faith, in
purity, 13 Till I come, give attendance
to reading, to exhortation, to doc
trine, 14 Neglect not the gift that is in
thee, which was given thee by pro
phecy, with the laying on of the
hands of the presbytery.
15 Meditate upon these things ;
give thyself wholly to them; that thy

they have cast off their first faith.
13 And withal they learn to be
idle, wandering about from house to
hoiise ; and not only idle, but tat
tlers also and busybodies, speaking
things which they ought not.
14 I will therefore that the younger
women marry, bear children, guide
the house, give none occasion to the
adversary to speak reproachfully.
15 For some are already turned
aside after Satan.
16 If any man or woraan that
believeth have widows, let them
reUeve them, and let not the church
be charged ; that It may relieve them
that are widows indeed.
17 Let the elders that rule well
be counted worthy of double honour,
especially they who labour in the
word and doctrine.
18 For the scripture saith, Thou
shalt not muzzle the ox that treadeth
out the corn. And, The labourer is
worthy of his reward.
19 Against an elder receive not
an accusation, but before two or three
witnesses. 20 Them that sin rebuke before
all, that others also may fear.
211 charge thee before God, and
[the Lord] Jesus Christ, and the
elect angels, that thou observe these
things without preferring one before
another, doing nothing by partiality.

neither be partaker of other men's
sins : keep thyself pure.
23 Drink no longer water, but use
a little wine for thy stomach's sake
and thine often infirmities.

forehand, going before to judgment ;
and some men they follow after.

of some are manifest beforehand; and
they that are otherwise cannot be hid,
CHAP. VI.
LET as many servants as are under
the yoke count their own mas-
tersi worthy of all honour, that the
name of God and his doctrine be not
blasphemed. 2 And they that have believing
masters, let them not despise them,
because they are brethren; but
rather do them service, because they
are faithful and beloved, partakers of
the benefit. These things teach and
exhort. 3 If any man teach otherwise, and
consent not to wholesome words, even
the words of our Lord Jesus Christ,
and to the doctrine which is accord
ing to godliness ;
4 He is proud, knowing nothing,
but doting about questions and strifes
of words, whereof coraeth envy, strife,
railings, evil surralslngs,
5 Perverse disputlngs of men of
corrupt minds, and destitute of the
truth, supposing that gain is godli
ness [: from such withdraw thyself].
6 But godliness with contentment
is great gain.
7 For we brought nothing into
this world, and It is certain we can
carry nothing out.
8 And having food and raiment
let us be therewith content.
9 But they that will be rich fall
into temptation and a snare, and into
many foolish and hurtful lusts, which
drown men in destruction and per
dition. 10 For the love of money is the
root of all evil : which while some
coveted after, they have erred frora
the faith, and pierced themselves
through with many sorrows.

which dwelt first In thy grandmother
Lois, and thy mother Eunice ; and I
am persuaded that in thee also,
6 Wherefore I put thee in re

8 Eemember that Jesus Christ of
the seed of David was raised from the
dead according to my gospel :
9 Wherein I suffer trouble, as an
evil doer, even unto bonds ; but the
word of God is not bound.
10 Therefore I endure , all things
for the elect's sakes, that they may
also obtain the salvation which is in
Christ Jesus with eternal glory.
11 It is a faithful saying : For if
we be dead with him, we shall also
Uve with him :
12 If we suffer, we shall also reign
•with him: if we deny him, he also
wUl deny us :
13 If we believe not, yet he abid
eth faithful : he cannot deny him
self. 14 Of these things put them in
remembrance, charging them before
the Lord that they strive not about
words to no profit, but to the sub
verting of the hearers.
15 Study to shew thyself approved
unto God, a workman that needeth
not to be asharaed, rightly dividing
the word of truth.
16 But shun profane and vain
babblings : for they will increase
unto more ungodliness.
17 And their word will eat as doth
a canker : of whom is Hymen^us and
Philetus ;
18 Who concerning the truth have
erred, saying that the resurrection is
past already; and overthrow the faith
of some.19 Nevertheless the foundation of
God standeth sure, having this seal.
The Lord knoweth thera that are
his. And, Let every one that nameth
the name of [Christ; the Lord] de
part fi:om iniquity.
20 But in a great house there are
not only vessels of gold and of silver,
but also of wood and of earth; and

some to honour, and some to dis
honour. 21 If a m'an therefore purge him
self from these, he shall be a vessel
unto honour, sanctified, [and] meet
for the master's use, and prepared
unto every good work.
22 Flee also youthful lusts: but
foUow righteousness, faith, charity,
peace, with them that call on the
Lord out of a pure heart.
23 But foolish and unlearned
questions avoid, knowing that they
do gender strifes.
24 And the servant of the Lord
must not strive ; but be gentle unto
all men, apt to teach, patient,
25 In meekness instructing those
that oppose themselves ; if God
peradventure will give them repent
ance to the acknowledging of the
truth ;
26 And that they may recover
themselves out of the snare of the
devil, who are taken captive by him
at his will. ¦• CHAP. IIL
THIS know also, thai; in the last
days perilous times shall come.

own selves, covetous, boasters, proud,
blasphemers, disobedient to parents,
unthankful, unholy,
3 Without natural affection, truce-
breakers, false accusers, incontinent,
fierce, despisers of those that are good,
4 Traitors, heady, highminded,
lovers of pleasures more than lovers
of God ;
5 Having a form of godliness, but
denying the power thereof: from
such turn away.

creep into houses, and lead captive
silly woraen laden with sins, led away

itching ears;
4 And they shall turn away their
ears from the truth, and shall be

5 But watch thou in all things,
endure afflictions, do the work of an

7 I have fought a good fight, I
have finished ray course, I have kept

rae a crown of righteousness, which
the Lord, the righteous judge, shall
give me at that day : and not to me

5 For this cause left I thee in
Crete, that thou shouldest set in
order the things that are wanting,
and ordain elders in every city, as I
had appointed thee :
6 If any be blameless, the husband
of one wife, having faithful chUdren
not accused of riot or unruly.
7 For a bishop must be blameless,
as the steward of God; not selfwilled,
not soon angry, not given to wine,
no striker, not given to filthy lucre ;
8 But a lover of hospitality, a
lover of good men, sober, just, holy,
temperate ;
9 Holding fast the faithful word as
he hath been taught, that he may be
able by sound doctrine both to exhort
and to convince the gainsayers.
10 For there are raany unruly and
vain talkers and deceivers, specially
they of the circuracision :
1 1 Whose mouths must be stopped,
who subvert whole houses, teaching
things which they ought not, for filthy
lucre's sake.
12 One of theraselves, even a pro
phet of their own, said. The Cretlans
are alway liars, evil beasts, slow
bellies. 13 This witness is true. Where
fore rebuke them sharply, that they
may be sound in the faith ;
14 Not giving heed to Jewish
fables, and commandments of men,
that turn from the truth.
15 Unto the pure all things are
pure : but unto them that are defiled
and unbelieving is nothing pure; but
even their mind and conscience is
defiled. 16 They profess that they know
God ; but in works they deny hira,
being abominable, and disobedient,
and unto every good work repro
bate.

CHAP. II.
BUT speak thou the things which
become sound doctrine:
2 That the aged men be sober,
grave, temperate, sound in faith, in
charity, in patience.
3 The aged women likewise, that
they be in behaviour as becometh
holiness, not false accusers, not given
to much wine, teachers of good
things ;
4 That they may teach the young
women to be sober, to love their hus
bands, to love their children,
5 To be discreet, chaste, [keepers
at home: home-busied], good, obe
dient to their own husbands, that the
word of God be not blaspheraed.
¦ 6 Young raen likewise exhort to
be sober ralnded.
7 In all things shewing thyself a
pattern of good works; in doctrine
shewing uncorruptness, gravity, [sin
cerity,] 8 Sound speech, that cannot be
conderaned; that he that is of the
contrary part raay be ashamed, hav
ing no evil thing to say of you.
9 Exhort servants to be obedient
unto their own masters, and to please
them well in all things; not answer
ing again;
10 Not purloining, but shewing
all good fidelity ; that they may adorn
the doctrine of God our Saviour in all
things. 11 For the grace of God that
bringeth salvation hath appeared to
all men,
12 Teaching us that, denying un
godliness and worldly lusts, we should
live soberly, righteously, and godly,
in this present world ;

Christ; 14 Who gave himself for us, that
he might redeem us from all iniquity,
and purify unto himself a pecuUar

15 These things speak, and exhort,
and rebuke with all authority. Let
no man despise thee.
CHAP. III.
PUT them in mind to be subject
to principaUties [and] powers, to
obey magistrates, to be ready to every
good work,
2 To speak evil of no man, to be
no brawlers, but gentle, shewing all
meekness unto all men.
3 For we ourselves also were some
times foolish, disobedient, deceived,
serving divers lusts and pleasures,
Uving in maUce and envy, hateful,
and hating one another.
4 But after that the kindness and
love of God our Saviour toward man
appeared, 5 Not by works of righteousness
which we have done, but according
to his mercy he saved us, by the
washing of regeneration, and renew
ing ofthe Holy Ghost;
6 Which he shed on us abundantly
through Jesus Christ our Saviour;
7 That being justified by his grace,
we should be made heirs according to
the hope of eternal Ufe.

8 This is a faithful saying, and
these things I will that thou affirm
constantly, that they which have be
lieved in God might be careful to
maintain good works. These things
are good and profitable unto men.
9 But avoid foolish questions, and
genealogies, and contentions, and
strivings about the law; for they are
unprofitable and vain.
10 A man that is an heretic^ after
the first and second admonition re
ject; 11 Knowing that he that is such
is subverted, and sinneth, being con
demned of himself.

have determined there to winter.
13 Bring Zenas the lawyer and

PAUL, a prisoner of Jesus Christ,
and Timothy our brother, unto
Philemon our dearly beloved, and

Apphia the sister], and Archippus our
feUowsoldier, and to the church in
thy house :
3 Grace to you, and peace, frora
God our Father and the Lord Jesus
Christ, 4 I thank ray God, making men
tion of thee always in my prayers,
5 Hearing of thy love and faith,
which thou hast toward the Lord
Jesus, and toward all saints ;
6 That the communication of thy
faith may becorae effectual by the
acknowledging of every good thing
which Is In [you: us] in Christ [Jesus],
7 For we have great joy and con
solation in thy love, because the
bowels of the saints are refreshed by

8 Wherefore, though I raight be
much bold in Christ to enjoin thee
that which is convenient,
9 Yet for love's sake I rather be
seech thee, being such an one as
Paul the aged, and now also a pri-
• soner of Jesus Christ.
10 I beseech thee for my son
Onesimus, whom I have begotten in
my bonds ;

1 1 Which in time past was to thee
unprofitable, but now profitable to
thee and to me:
12 Whom I have sent again: thou
therefore receive him, that is, mine
own bowels;
13 Whora I would have retained
with me, that in thy stead he raight
have ministered unto me in the bonds
of the gospel :
14 But without thy mind would
I do nothing ; that thy benefit should
not be as it were of necessity, but
willingly. 15 For perhaps he therefore de
parted for a season, that thou should
est receive hira for ever;
16 Not now as a servant, but
above a servant, a brother beloved,
specially to rae, but how much more
unto thee, both in the flesh, and in
the Lord ?
17 If thou count me therefore a
partner, receive him as myself.
18 If he hath wronged thee, or
oweth thee ought, put that on mine
account ;
19 I Paul have written it with
mine own hand, I will repay it: albeit
I do not say to thee how thou owest

Son, this day have I begotten thee?
And again, I will be to him a Father,
and he shall be to me a Son?
6 And again, when he bringeth
in the firstbegotten into the world,
he saith. And let aU the angels of
God worship hira.
7 And of the angels he saith. Who
maketh his angels spirits, and his
ministers a flame of fire.
8 But unto the Son he saith. Thy
throne, 0 God, is for ever and ever :
[aw(^,] a sceptre of righteousness is
the sceptre of thy kingdom.
9 Thou hast loved righteousness,
and hated iniquity; therefore God,
even thy God, hath anointed thee
with the oU. of gladness above thy
fellows. 10 And, Thou, Lord, in the be
ginning hast laid the foundation of
the earth; and the heavens are the
works of thine hands :

MEBEEWb, IL

11 They shall perish; but thou
remainest ; and they all shaU wax old
as doth a garment;
12 And as a vesture shalt thou
fold them up, and they shall be
changed: but thou art the same, and
thy years shall not fail.
13 But to which of the angels said
he at any time. Sit on my right hand,
until I make thine enemies thy foot
stool ?
14 Are they not all ministering
spirits, sent forth to minister for thera
who shall be heirs of salvation ?
CHAP. II.
THEEEFOEE we ought to give
the raore earnest heed to the
things which we have heard, lest at
any tlrae we should let them slip.
2 For if the word spoken by angels
was stedfast, and every transgression
and disobedience received a just re
compence of reward ;
3 How shall we escape, if we neg
lect so great salvation; which at the
first began to be spoken by the Lord,
and was confirmed unto us by them
that heard hira ;
4 God also bearing them witness,
both with signs and wonders, and
with divers miracles, and gifts of the
Holy Ghost, according to his own
win? 5 For unto the angels hath he not
put in subjection the world to come,
whereof we speak.
6 But one in a certain place testi
fied, saying, What is man, that thou
art mindful of him? or the son of
man, that thou visltest hira?
7 Thou madest him a little lower
than the angels; thou crownedst him
with glory and honour, [and didst
set hira over the works of thy hands :]
8 Thou hast put all things in sub
jection under his feet. For in that

he put all in subjection under hira,
he left nothing that is not put under
him. But now we see not yet all
things put under him.
9 But we see Jesus, who was made
a little lower than the angels for the
suffering of death, crowned with
glory and honour; that he by the
grace of God should taste death for
every raan.
10 For it became him, for whora
are all things, and by whom are all
things, in bringing many sons unto
glory, to make the captain of their
salvation perfect through sufferings.
1 1 For both he that sanctifieth and
they who are sanctified are all of one:
for which cause he Is not ashamed to
call them brethren,
12 Saying, I will declare thy name
unto my brethren, in the midst of
the church will I sing praise unto thee.
13 And again, I will put my trust
in him. And again, Behold I and
the children which God hath given
me. 14 Forasmuch then as the children
are partakers of flesh and blood, he
also himself likewise took part of the
same; that through death he might
destroy him that had the po.wer of
death, that is, the devil ;
15 And deliver them who through
fear of death were aU their lifetime
subject to bondage.
16 For verily he took not on hira
the nature of angels ; but he took on
him the seed of Abraham.
17 Wherefore In all things it be
hoved hira to be made like unto his
brethren, that he raight be a merciful
and faithful high priest in things
pertaining to God, to make recon
ciliation for the sins of the people.
18 For in that he himself hath
suffered being tempted, he is able to
succour them that are tempted.

CHAP. IIL
WHEEEFOEE, holy brethren,
partakers ofthe heavenly call
ing, consider the Apostle and High
Priest of our profession, [Christ]
Jesus ;
2 Who was faithful to hira that
appointed hira, as also Moses was
faithful in all his house.
3 For this raan was counted wor
thy of raore glory than Moses, inas
much as he who hath builded the
house hath more honour than the
house. 4 For every house is builded by
some man ; but he that built all
things is God.
5 And Moses verily was faithful
in all his house, as a servant, for a
testimony of those things which were
to be spoken after ;
6 But Christ as a son over his own
house; whose house are we, if we
hold fast the confidence and the re
joicing of the hope [firm unto the end].
7 Wherefore (as the Holy Ghost
saith. To day if ye will hear his voice,
'8 Harden not your hearts, as in
the provocation, in the day of tempta
tion in the wilderness :
9 When your fathers tempted
[me] [proved rae; by proof ], and saw
my works forty years.
10 Wherefore I was grieved with
that generation, and said. They do
alway err in their heart; and they
have not known my ways.
11 So I sware in my wrath. They
shaU not enter into my rest.)
12 Take heed, brethren, lest there
be in any of you an evil heart of un-
beUef, in departingfrom the Uving God.

while it is called To day; lest any of
you be hardened through the deceit
fulness of sin.
14 For we are raade partakers of
Christ, if we hold the beginning of
our confidence stedfast unto the end ;
15 While it is said. To day if ye
will hear his voice, harden not your
hearts, as In the provocation.
16 For some, when they had heard,
did provoke: howbeit not all that
carae out of Egypt by Moses.
17 But with whom was he grieved
forty years ? was it not with them
that had sinned, whose carcases fell
in the wilderness ?
18 And to whom sware he that
they should not enter into his rest,
but to them that believed not ?
19 So we see that they could not
enter in because of unbelief
CHAP. IV.
LET us therefore fear, lest, a pro
mise being left us of entering
into his rest, any of you should seem
to come short of it.
2 For unto us was the gospel
preached, as well as unto them: but
the word preached did not profit
them, not being mixed with faith in
thera that heard it.
3 For we which have believed do
enter into rest, as he said. As I have
sworn In ray wrath, if they shall
enter into ray rest : although the
works were finished from the foun
dation of the world.
4«For he spake in a certain place
of the seventh day on this wise. And
God did rest the seventh day frora
all his works,
5 And in this place again, If they

13 But exhort one another daily, | shall enter into my rest.

6 Seeing therefore it remalneth
that some must enter therein, and
they to whom it was first preached
entered not in because of unbelief :
7 Again, he limlteth a certain day,
saying in David, To day, after so
long a time ; as [it is said : has been
said before]. To day if ye will hear
his voice, harden not your hearts.
8 For if Jesus had given thera
rest, then would he not afterward
have spoken of another day.
9 There remalneth therefore a rest
to the people of God.
10 For he that is entered into his
rest, he also hath ceased from his
own works, as God did from his.
11 Let us labour therefore to
enter into that rest, lest any man
fall after the sarae example of un
belief 12 For the word of God is quick,
and powerful, and sharper than any
twoedged sword, piercing even to the
dividing asunder of soul and spirit,
and ofthe joints and marrow, and Is
a dlscemer of the thoughts and Intents
of the heart.
13 Neither is there any creature
that is not manifest in his sight : but
all things are naked and opened unto
the eyes of him with whom we have
to do. 14 Seeing then that we have a
great high priest, that is passed into
the heavens, Jesus the Son of God,
let us hold fast our profession.
1 5 For we have not an high priest
which cannot be touched with the
feeling of our infirmities ; but was In
all points tempted like as we are, yet
without sin.
16 Let us therefore come boldly
unto the throne of grace, that we
may obtain mercy, and find grace to
help in time of need.

CHAP. V.
FOE every high priest taken from
among men is ordained for men in
things pertaining to God, that he may
offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins :
2 Who can have compassion on
the ignorant, and on thera that are
out of the way ; for that he hiraself
also is compassed with infirmity.
3 And by reason hereof he ought,
as for the people, so also for hiraself,
to offer for sins.
4 And no man taketh this honour
unto himself, but he that is called of
God, as was Aaron.
5 So also Christ glorified not him
self to be made an high priest ; but
he that said unto him, Thou art ray
Son, to day have I begotten thee.
6 As he saith also in another place.
Thou art a priest for ever after the
order of Melchisedec.
7 Who In the days of his flesh,
when he had offered up prayers and
suppUcatlons with strong crying and
tears unto him that was able to save
him from death, and was heard in
that he feared ;
8 Though he were a Son, yet
learned he obedience by the things
which he suffered ;
9 And being made perfect, he be
came the author of eternal salvation
unto all them that obey him ;
10 Called of God an high priest
after the order of Melchisedec.
11 Of whora we have many things
to say, and hard to be uttered, seeing
ye are dull of hearing.
12 For when for the time ye ought
to be teachers, ye have need that one
teach you again which be the first
principles of the oracles of God ; and
are become such as have need of milk,
[and] not of strong meat.

CHAP, VL
THEEEFOEE leaving the princi
ples of the doctrine of Christ, let
us go on unto perfection; not laying
again the foundation of repentance
frora dead works, and of faith toward
God, 2 Of the doctrine of baptlsras, and
of laying on of hands, and of resur
rection of the dead, and of eternal
judgment, 3 And this will we do, if God
permit. 4 For it Is impossible for those
who were once enlightened, and have
tasted of the heavenly gift, and were
made partakers of the Holy Ghost,
5 And have tasted the good word
of God, and the powers of the world
to come,
6 If they shall fall away, to renew
them again unto repentance; seeing
they crucify to themselves the Son
of God afi:esh, and put him to an
open shame.
7 For the earth which drinketh
in the rain that cometh oft upon it,
and bringeth forth herbs meet for
them by whom it is dressed, receiveth
blessing from God :
8 But that which beareth thorns
and briers is rejected, and is nigh
unto cursing; whose end is to be
burned. 9 But, beloved, we are persuaded
better things of you, and things that
accompany salvation, though we thus
speak.

10 For God is not unrighteous to
forget your work and [labour of]
love, which ye have shewed toward
his name, in that ye have ministered
to the saints, and do minister,
11 And we desire that every one
of you do shew the sarae diligence
to the full assurance of hope unto
the end ;
12 That ye be not slothful, but
followers of thera who through faith
and patience inherit the promises,
13 For when God made promise
to Abraham, because he could swear
by no greater, he sware by hiraself,
14 Saying, Surely blessing I will
bless thee, and raultiplying I will
multiply thee.
15 And so, after he had patiently
endured, he obtained the promise.
16 For men verily swear by the
greater ; and an oath for confirmation
is to thera an end of all strife.
17 Wherein God, willing raore
abundantly to shew unto the heirs of
promise the immutability of his
counsel, confirmed it by an oath :
18 That by two imrautable things,
in which it was impossible for God
to lie, we might have a strong con
solation, who have fled for refuge to
lay hold upon the hope set before us :
19 Which hope we have as an
anchor of the soul, both sure and
stedfast, and which entereth into that
within the veil ;
20 Whither the forerunner is for
us entered, even Jesus, made an high
priest for ever after the order of
Melchisedec.
CHAP. VIL
EOE this Melchisedec, king of
Salem, priest of the most high
God, who met Abraham returning
from the slaughter of the kings, and
blessed him ;

HEBEEWS, VIL

2 To whom also Abraham gave a
tenth part of all ; first being by
interpretation King of righteousness,
and after that also King of Salem,
which is, King of peace ;
3 Without father, without mother,
without descent, having neither be
ginning of days, nor end of life ; but
made like unto the Son of God ;
abideth a priest continually.
4 Now consider how great this
man was, unto whom [even] the
patriarch Abraham gave the tenth of
the spoils.
5 And verily they that are of the
sons of Levi, who receive the office
of the priesthood, have a command
ment to take tithes of the people
according to the law, that Is, of their
brethren, though they come out of
the loins of Abraham ;
6 But he whose descent is not
counted from them received tithes of
Abraham, and blessed hira that had
the promises,
7 And without all contradiction
the less is blessed of the better.
8 And here men that die receive
tithes; but there he receiveth them,
of whom It is witnessed that he
Hveth. 9 And as I raay so say, Levi also,
who receiveth tithes, payed tithes in
Abrahara, 10 For he was yet in the loins
of his father, when Melchisedec met
him. 1 1 If therefore perfection were by
the Levitical priesthood, (for under
it the people received the law,) what
further need was there that another
priest should rise after the order of
Melchisedec, and not be called after
the order of Aaron ?

12 For the priesthood being
changed, there is raade of necessity a
change also of the law.
13 For he of whora these things
are spoken pertalneth to another
tribe, of which no man gave attend
ance at the altar.
14 For it is evident that our Lord
sprang out of Juda; of which tribe
Moses spake nothing concerning
[priesthood: priests].
15 And it is yet far more evident :
for that after the similitude of Mel

16 Who is made, not after the
law of a carnal commandraent, but
after the power of an endless life.
17 For [he testlfieth : it is testified],
Thou art a priest for ever after the
order of Melchisedec.
18 For there is verily a disan
nulling of the commandraent going
before for the weakness and unpro
fitableness thereof.
19 For the law made nothing per
fect, but the bringing in of a better
hope did ; by the which we draw
nigh unto God.
20 And inasmuch as not without
an oath he was made priest ;
21 (For those priests were raade
without an oath; but this with an
oath by him that said unto him. The
Lord sware and will not repent. Thou
art a priest for ever [after the order
of Melchisedec] :)
22 By so much was Jesus made a
surety of a better testament.
23 And they truly were many
priests, because they were not suffered
to continue by reason of death :
24 But this man, because he con
tinueth ever, hath an , unchangeable
priesthood.

more excellent ministry, by how
much also he is the mediator of a
better covenant, which was estabUshed
upon better promises.
7 For if that first covenant had
been faultless, then should no place
have been sought for the second.
8 For finding fault with them, he
saith. Behold, the days come, saith
the Lord, when I will make a new
covenant with the house of Israel and
with the house of Judah :
9 Not according to the covenant
that I made with their fathers in the
day when I took thera by the hand'
to lead them out of the land of Egypt;
because they continued not in my
covenant, and I regarded them not,
saith the Lord.
10 For this is the covenant that
I will make with the house of Israel
after those days, saith the Lord ; I
will put my laws into their mind,
and write them in their hearts : and
I will be to them a God, and they
shall be' to me a people:
11 And they shall not teach every
man his [neighbour: townsman], and
every man his brother, saying. Know
the Lord : for all shall know me,
from the least to the greatest.
12 For I will be merciful to their
unrighteousness, and their sins and
their iniquities wiU I reraember no
more. 13 In that he saith, A new cove
nant, he hath made the first old.
Now that which decayeth and wax-
eth old is ready to vanish away.

also ordinances of divine service,

those high priests, to offer up sacrifice,

when he offered up himself
28 For the law maketh men high
priests which have infirmity ; but the
word of the oath, which was since

consecrated for evermore,
CHAP, VIIL
IVrOW of the things which we
-i-l have spoken this is the sum;
We have such an high priest, who is
set on the right hand of the throne
ofthe Majesty in the heavens;
2 A minister of the sanctuary,
and of the true tabernacle, which the
Lord pitched, [and] not man,
3 For every high priest is ordained
to offer gifts and sacrifices : wherefore
it is of necessity that this man have
somewhat also to offer.
4 [For if; If then] he were on
earth, he should not be a priest, seeing
that there are [priests] that offer gifts
according to the law :
5 Who serve unto the example
and shadow of heavenly things, as
Moses was admonished of God when
he was about to make the tabernacle :
for, See, saith he, that thou make all
things according to the pattern shewed
to thee in the mount.
6 But now hath he obtained a

jrLIUDSXIh VV O, JLA.

2 For there was a tabernacle made ;
the first, wherein was the candlestick,
and the table, and the shewbread ;
which is called the sanctuary.
3 And after the second veil, the
tabernacle which is called the Holiest
of aU ;
4 Which had the golden censer,
and the ark of the covenant overlaid
round about with gold, wherein was
the golden pot that had manna, and
Aaron's rod that budded, and the
tables of the covenant ;
5 And over it the cherubims of
glory shadowing the raercy seat ; of
which we cannot now speak particu
larly. 6 Now when these things were
thus ordained, the priests went always
into the first tabernacle, accomplish
ing the service of God.
7 But into the second went the
high priest alone once every year,
not without blood, which he offered
for himself, and for the errors of the
people :
8 The Holy Ghost this signifying,
that the way into the holiest of all
was not yet made manifest, while as
the first tabernacle was yet standing :
9 Which was a figure for the time
then present, [in : according to] which
were offered both gifts and sacrifices,
that could not make him that did the
service perfect, as pertaining to the
conscience ;
10 Which stood only In meats and
drinks, and divers washings, [and]
carnal ordinances. Imposed on them
until the time of reformation.
11 But Christ being come an
high priest of good things to corae,
by a greater and more perfect taber
nacle, not made with hands, that is
to say, not of this building ;
12 Neither by the blood of goats

and calves, but by his own blood he
entered in once into the holy place,
having obtained eternal redemption
for us.
13 For if the blood of bulls and
of goats, and the ashes of an heifer
sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth
to the purifying of the flesh ;
14 How much raore shall the
blood of Christ, who through the
eternal Spirit offered hiraself without
spot to God, purge your conscience
frora dead works to serve the living
God ?
15 And for this cause he is the
mediator of the new testament, that
by means of death, for the redemp
tion of the transgressions that were
under the first testament, they which
are called might receive the promise
of eternal inheritance,
16 For where a testament is, there
must also of necessity be the death of
the testator.
17 For a testament is of force
after men are dead : otherwise it is
of no strength at all while the testator
liveth. 18 Whereupon neither the first
testament was dedicated without
blood. 19 For when Moses had spoken
every precept to all the people ac
cording to the law, he took the blood
of calves and of goats, with water,
and scarlet wool, and hyssop, and
sprinkled both the book, and aU the
people, 20 Saying, This is the blood of
the testament which God hath en
joined unto you.
21 Moreover he sprinkled with
blood both the tabernacle, and all
the vessels of the ministry.
22 And almost all things are by
the law purged with blood ; and

without shedding of blood is no re
mission. 23 It was therefore necessary that
the patterns of things in the heavens
should be purified with these; but
the heavenly things themselves with
better sacrifices than these.
24 For Christ is not entered into
the holy places made with hands,
which are the figures of the true;
but into heaven itself, now to appear
in the presence of God for us :
25 Nor yet that he should offer
himself often, as the high priest en
tereth into the holy place every year
with blood of others ;
26 For then must he often have
sufiered since the foundation of the
world : but now once in the end of
the world hath he appeared to put
away sin by the sacrifice of himself.
27 And as it is appointed unto men
once todIe,butafter this the judgment :
28 So Christ [also] was once
offered to bear the sins of many ; and
unto them that look for him shall he
appear the second time without sin
unto salvation. CHAP. X.
FOE the law having a shadow of
good things to come, and not
the very image of the things, can
never with those sacrifices which
they offered year by year continuaUy
make the comers thereunto perfect,
2 For then would they not have
ceased to be offered? because that
the worshippers once purged should
have had no more conscience of sins.
3 But in those sacrifices there is a
remembrance again made of sins
every year.
4 For it is not possible that the
blood of buUs and of goats should
take away sins.

8 Above when he said, Sacrifice

neither hadst pleasure therein ; which
are offered by the law ;
9 Then said he, Lo, I corae to do

second. 10 By the which will we are sanc
tified through the offering of the body
of Jesus Christ once for all.
11 And every priest standeth daily
ministering and offering oftentimes
the same sacrifices, which can never
take away sins :
12 But this man, after he had
offered one sacrifice for sins for ever,
sat down on the right hand of God ;
13 From henceforth expecting
till his enemies be raade his foot

perfected for ever them that are
sanctified. 15 Whereof the Holy Ghost also
Is a witness to us ; for after that he
had said before,

make with them after those days,
saith the Lord, I will put my laws
into their hearts, and in their minds
will I write them ;
17 And their sins and iniquities
will I remember no more.
18 Now where remission of these
is, there is no more offering for sin.

19 Having therefore, brethren,
boldness to enter into the holiest by
the blood of Jesus,
20 By a new and living way,
which he hath consecrated for us,
through the veil, that is to say, his
flesh; 21 And having an high priest
over the house of God ;
22 Let us draw near with a true
heart in full assurance of faith, having
our hearts sprinkled from an evil
conscience, and our bodies washed
¦with pure water,
23 Let us hold fast the profession
of our faith without wavering ; (for
he is faithful that proraised;)
24 And let us consider one another
to provoke unto love and to good
works ;
25 Not forsaking the assembling
of ourselves together, as the manner
of some Is ; but exhorting one another :
and so much the more, as ye see the
day approaching,
26 For if iwe sin wilfully after
that we have received the knowledge
of the truth, there remalneth no more
sacrifice for sins,
27 But a certain fearful looking
for of judgment and fiery indignation,
which shaU devour the adversaries,
28 He that despised Moses' law
died without raercy under two or
three witnesses:
29 Of how much sorer punish
ment, suppose ye, shall he be thought
worthy, who hath trodden under
foot the Son of God, and hath counted
the blood of the covenant, wherewith
he was sanctified, an unholy thing,
and hath done despite unto the Spirit
of grace ?
30 For we know him that hath

said, Vengeance belongeth unto me,
I will recompense, saith the Lord.
And again. The Lord shall judge his
people. 31 It is a fearful thing to fall into
the hands of the living God.

3 Through faith we understand
that the worlds were framed by the
word of God, so that [things which
are seen were : that which is seen,
was] not made of things which do
appear. 4 By faith Abel offered unto God
a more excellent sacrifice than Cain,
by which he obtained witness that
he was righteous, God testifying of
his gifts: and by it he being dead
yet speaketh.
5 By faith Enoch was translated
that he should not see death; and
was not found, because God had
translated him ; for before his trans
lation he had this testimony, that he
pleased God.
6 But without faith it Is impossible
to please him ; for he that cometh to
God must believe that he is, and that
he is a rewarder of them that dili
gently seek him.
7 By faith Noah, being warned
of God of things not seen as yet,
moved with fear, prepared an ark to
the saving of his house ; by the which
he condemned the world, and became
heir of the righteousness which is by
faith. 8 By faith Abrahara, when he was
caUed to go out into a place which
he should after receive for an inheri
tance, obeyed; and he went out, not
knowing whither he went.
9 By faith he sojourned in the
land of promise, as in a strange
country, dwelUng in tabernacles with
Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him
of the same promise :
10 For he looked for a city which
hath foundations, whose buUder and
.maker is God.
11 Through faith also Sara herself

received strength to conceive seed,
[and was delivered of a child: even]
when she was past age, because she
judged him faithful who had pro
mised. 12 Therefore sprang there even of
one, and him as good as dead, so
many as the stars of the sky in mul
titude, and as the sand which is by
the sea shore innumerable.
13 These all died in faith, not
having received the promises, but
having seen them afar off, [and were
persuaded of them,] and embraced
them, and confessed that they were
strangers and pilgrims on the earth.
14 For they that say such things
declare plainly that they seek a
country. 15 And truly, if they had been
mindful of that country from whence
they came out, they might have had
opportunity to have returned.
16 But now they desire a better
country, that is, an heavenly : where
fore God is not ashamed to be called
their God : for he hath prepared for
them a city.
17 By faith Abraham, when he
was tried, offered up Isaac: and he
that had received the promises offered
up his only begotten son,
18 Of whom it was said. That in
Isaac shall thy seed be called ;
19_ Accounting that God was able
to raise him up, even from the dead ;
from whence also he received him in
a figure. 20 By faith Isaac blessed Jacob
and Esau concerning things to come,
21 By faith Jacob, when he was
a dying, blessed both the sons of
Joseph ; and worshipped, leaning
upon the top of his staff.

23 By faith Moses, when he was

parents, because they saw he was a
proper child ; and they were not
afraid of the king's commandment.
24 By faith Moses, when he was
come to years, refused to be called the
son of Pharaoh's daughter ;
25 Choosing rather to suffer afflic
tion with the people of God, than to
enjoy the pleasures of sin for a
season ;
26 Esteeming the reproach of
Christ greater riches than the trea
sures in Egypt : for he had respect
unto the recompence of the reward.
27 By faith he forsook Egypt, not
fearing the wrath of the king : for
he endured, as seeing him who is
invisible. 28 Through faith he kept the
passover, and the sprinkling of blood,
lest he that destroyed the firstborn
should touch them.
29 By faith they passed through
the Eed sea as by dry land ; which
the Egyptians assaying to do were
drowned. 30 By faith the walls of Jericho
fell down, after they were compassed

31 By faith the harlot Eahab
perished not with them that believed
not, when she had received the spies
with peace.
32 And what shall I more say?
for the time would fail me to tell of
Gedeon, and of Barak, and of Sam
son, and of Jephthae; of David also,
and Samuel, and of the prophets :
33 Who through faith subdued
kingdoms, wrought righteousness,
obtained promises, stopped the mouths
of lions,
34 Quenched the violence of fire,

escaped the edge of the sword, out of
weakness were made strong, waxed
valiant in fight, turned to flight the
armies of the aliens.
35 Women received their dead
raised to life again ; and others were
tortured, not accepting deliverance;
that they might obtain a better re
surrection ;
36 And others had trial of cruel
mockings and scourglngs, yea, more
over of bonds and imprisonment :
37 They were stoned, they were
sawn asunder, were tempted, were
slain with the sword : they wandered
about in sheepskins and goatskins;
being destitute, afflicted, tormented ;
38 (Of whora the world was not
worthy :) they wandered in deserts,
and in raountains, and in dens and
caves of the earth.

20 Now the God of peace, that
brought again from the dead our
Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of
the sheep, through the blood of the
everlasting covenant,
21 Make you perfect in every good
work to do his wiU, working in you
that which is wellpleasing in his
sight, through Jesus Christ ; to
whom be glory for ever and ever.
Amen. 22 And I beseech you, brethren,
suffer the word of exhortation: for I

have written a letter unto you in few
words. 23 Know ye that our brother
Timothy is set at liberty; with
whom, if he come shortly, I will see
you. 24 Salute all them that have the
rule over you, and all the saints.
They of Italy salute you.
25 Grace be with you all. Amen.

THE GENEEAL EPISTLE

JAMES

CHAP. L^
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 faU into divers temptations ;
3 Knowing this, that the trying of
your faith worketh patience.
4 But let patience have her perfect
work, that ye may be perfect and
entire, wanting nothing.
5 If any of you lack wisdom, let
him ask of God, that giveth to all
men HberaUy, and upbraideth not ;
and it shaU be given him.
6 But let him ask in faith, nothing
wavering. For he that wavereth is
like a wave of the sea driven "mth
the wind and tossed.

7 For let not that man think
that he shall receive any thing of the
Lord. 8 A double minded man is un
stable in all his ways.
& 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.
1 1 For the sun is no sooner risen
with a burning heat, but it withereth
the grass, and the flower thereof fall
eth, and the grace of the fashion of
it perisheth: so also shall the rich
man fade away in his ways.
12 Blessed is the man that endur
eth temptation ; for when he is tried,
he shall receive the crown of life,
which [the Lord: He] hath promised
to them that love him.

hearer, but a doer of the work, this
man shall be blessed in his deed,
26 If any man [among you] seem
to be religious, and bridleth not his
tongue, but deceiveth his own heart,
this man's religion is vain,
27 Pure religion and undefiled

CHAP, IL
MY brethren, have not the faith
of our Lord Jesus Christ, the
Lord of glory, with respect of persons,
2 For if there come unto your
assembly a man with a gold ring,
in goodly apparel, and there corae in
also a poor raan in vile raiment;
3 And ye have respect to him that
weareth the gay clothing, and say
[unto him]. Sit thou here in a good
place; and say to the poor. Stand
thou there, or sit [here] under my
footstool :
4 Are ye not then partial in your
selves, and are become judges of evil
thoughts ?
5 Hearken, my beloved brethren.
Hath not God chosen the poor [of
this world : as regards the world ]
rich in faith, and heirs of the king
dora which he hath promised to them
that love him ?
6 But ye have despised the poor.
Do not rich men oppress you, and
draw you before the judgment seats ?
7 Do not they blaspheme that
worthy name by the which ye are
called ?
8 If ye fulfil the royal law accord
ing to the scripture, "TKou shalt love
thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well :

13 Let no man say when he is
tempted, I ara tempted of God : for
God cannot be tempted with evil,
neither terapteth he any man :
14 But every man is tempted,
when he is drawn away of his own
lust, and enticed,
15 Then when lust hath conceived,
it bringeth' forth sin ; and sin, when
it is finished, bringeth forth death.
16 Do not err, my beloved breth
ren. 17 Every good gift and every
perfect gift is from above, and cora
eth down from the Father of lights,
with whom is no variableness, nei
ther shadow of turning.
18 Of his own will begat he us
with the word of truth, that we
should be a kind of firstfruits of his
creatures. 19 Wherefore, my beloved breth
ren, let every raan be swift to hear,
slow to speak, slow to wrath :
20 For the wrath of raan worketh
not the righteousness of God.
21 Wherefore lay apart all filthi
ness and superfluity of naughtiness,
and receive with meekness the en
grafted word, which is able to save
your souls.
22 But be ye doers of the word,
and not hearers only, deceiving your
own selves.
23 For if any be a hearer of the
word, and not a doer, he is like unto
a man beholding his natural face in
a glass: 24 For he beholdeth himself, and
goeth his way, and straightway for-
getteth what manner of man he was.
25 But whoso looketh into the
perfect law of liberty, and continueth
therein, he being not a forgetful

JAMES, IIL

9 But if ye have respect to per
sons, ye commit sin, and are convinced
of the law as transgressors.
10 For whosoever shall keep the
whole law, and yet offend in one
point, he is guilty of all.
11 For he that said, Do not com
mit adultery, said also, Do not kiU.
Now if thou commit no adultery, yet
if thou kill, thou art become a trans
gressor of the law.
12 So speak ye, and so do, as they
that shaU be judged by the law of
liberty. 13 For he shall have judgment
without mercy, that hath shewed no
mercy; [and] mercy rejoiceth' against
judgment. 14 What doth it profit, my breth
ren, though a man say he hath faith,
and have not works ? can faith save
him? 15 If a brother or sister be naked,
and destitute of daily food,
16 And one of you say unto them.
Depart in peace, be ye warmed and
filled ; notwithstanding ye give them
not those things ^'which are needful
to the body; what doth it profit ?
17 Even so faith, if it hath not
works. Is dead, being alone.
18 Yea, a man may say, Thou
hast faith, and I have works : shew
me thy faith without [thy ; the] works,
and I will shew thee my faith by my
works. 19 Thou believest that there is
one God ; thou doest well : the devils
also believe, and tremble.
20 But wilt thou know, 0 vain
man, that faith without works
[dead: idle]?

21 Was not Abraham our father
justified by works, when he had
offered Isaac his sqp. upon the
altar ?
22 Seest thou how faith wrought
with his works, and by works was
faith made perfect ?
23 And the scripture was fulfilled
which saith, Abrahara believed God,
and it was imputed unto him for
righteousness: and he was called the
Friend of God.
24 Ye see [then] how that by
works a man is justified, and not by
faith only.
25 Likewise also was not Eahab
the harlot justified by works, when
she had received the messengers,
and had sent them out another
way? 26 For as the body without the
spirit is dead, so faith without works
is dead also.

CHAP. III.
MY brethren, be not many mas
ters, knowing that we shall
receive the greater condemnation.
* 2 For in many things we offend
all. If any man offend not in word,
the same is a perfect man, and able
also to bridle the whole body.
3 [Behold: And if] we put bits in
the horses' mouths, that they may
obey us ; [and we turn about : we
turn about also] their whole body.
4 Behold also the sliips, which
though they be so great, and are
driven of fierce winds, yet are they
turned about with a very smaU
helm, whithersoever the governor
listeth.

15 This wisdom deScendeth not

devilish. 16 For where envying and strife
is, there is confusion and every evil
work. 17 But the wisdora that is from
above is first pure, then peaceable,

5 Even so the tongue is a little
member, and boasteth great things.
Behold, how great a matter [a little :
how small a] fire kindleth !
6 And the tongue Is a fire, a world
of iniquity [: so] is the tongue among
our members, that it defileth the
whole body, and setteth on fire the
course of nature; and it is set on fire
ofheU. 7 For every kind of beasts, and
of birds, and of serpents, and of
things In the sea, is tamed, and hath
been tamed of mankind ;
8 But the tongue can no raan
tarae; It is [an unruly; a restless]
evil, full of deadly poison.
9 Therewith bless we [God; the
Lord], even the Father; and there
with curse we men, which are made
after the similitude of God.
10 Out of the same raouth pro

brethren, these things ought not so
to be.

at the sarae place sweet water and
bitter ?

fresh. 13 Who is a wise man and endued
with knowledge among you ? let him
shew out of a good conversation his
works with meekness of wisdora.

and strife in your hearts, glory not,
and lie not against the truth.

8 Draw nigh to God, ahd he wiU
draw nigh to you. Cleanse your
hands, ye sinners; and purify your
hearts, ye double minded.
9 Be afflicted, and mourn, and
weep: let your laughter be. turned to
mourning, and your joy to heavi
ness. 10 Humble yourselves In the sight
of the Lord, and he shaU lift you
up. 11 Speak not evil one of another,
brethren. He that speaketh evU of
his brother, [and: or] judgeth his
brother, speaketh evU of the law, and
judgeth the law: but if thou judge
the law, thou art not a doer of the
law, but a judge.
12 There is one lawgiver [and
judge], who is able to save and to
destroy: [but] who art thou that
judgest [another : thy neighbour] ?
13 Go to now, ye that say. To
day or to morrow we will go into
such a city, and continue there a year,
and buy and sell, and get gain :
14 Whereas ye know not what
shaU be on the morrow. [For] what
Is your life? [It Is: you are] even a
vapour, that appeareth for a little
time, and then vanisheth away.
15 For that ye ought to say. If
the Lord will, we shall live, and do
this, or that.
16 But now ye rejoice in your
boastings; all such rejoicing is evil.

17 Therefore to him that knoweth
to do good, and doeth it not, to him
it is sin.
CHAP. V.
GO to now, ye rich men, weep and
howl for your miseries that shall
come upon you.
2 Your riches are corrupted, and
your garments are raotheaten.
3 Your gold and silver is cankered ;
and the rust of them shall be a wit
ness against you, and shall eat your
flesh as it were fire. Ye have heap
ed treasure together for the last days.
4. Behold, the hire ofthe labourers
who have reaped down your fields,
which is of you kept back by fraud,
crieth; and the cries of thera which
have reaped are entered into the ears
of the Lord of sabaoth.
5 Ye have lived in pleasure on the
earth, and been wanton; ye have
nourished your hearts, [as] in a day
of slaughter.
6 Ye have condemned and killed
the just ; and he doth not resist you.
7 Be patient therefore, brethren,
unto the coming of the Lord. Be

precious fruit of the earth, and hath
long patience for it, until he receive
the early and latter rain,

10 Take, [my] brethren, the pro

of the Lord, for an example of suffer
ing affliction, and Of patience.
11 Behold, we count them happy
which endure. Ye have heard of
the patience of Job, and have seen
the end ofthe Lord ; that [the Lord:
He] is very pitiful, and of tender
mercy. 12 But above all things, my breth
ren, swear not, neither by heaven,
neither by the earth, neither by any
other oath : but let your yea be yea ;
and your nay, nay; lest ye fall into
condemnation. 13 Is any among you afflicted?
let him pray. Is any merry? let
him sing psalms,

any

and let them pray over him, anointing
him with oil in the name of the
Lord;

15 And the prayer of faith shall
save the sick, and the Lord shall raise
him up; and if he have committed
sins, they shall be forgiven him.
16 Confess your faults one to
another, and pray^ one for another,
that ye may be healed. The effectual
fervent prayer of a righteous man
availeth much.
17 Ellas was a man subject to like
passions as we are, and he prayed
earnestly that it might not rain ;
and it rained not on the earth by
the space of three years and six
months. 18 And he prayed again, and the
heaven gave rain, and the earth
brought forth her fruit.
19 Brethren, if any of you do err
from the truth, and one convert
him ;
20 Let him know, that he which
converteth the sinner from the error
of his way shall save a soul from
death, and shall hide a raultltude of
sins.

19 For this is thankworthy, if
a man for conscience toward God
endure grief, suffering wrongfully.
20 For what glory Is it, if, when
ye be buffeted for your faults, ye
shaU take it patiently? but if, wheq
ye do weU, and suffer for it, ye take it
patiently, this is acceptable with God.
21 For even hereunto were ye
caUed : because Christ also suffered
for [us: you], leaving [us: you] an
example, that ye should follow his
steps :
22 Who did no sin, neither was
guile found in his mouth :
23 Who, when he was reviled,
reviled' not again ; when he suffered,
he threatened not; but committed
himself to hira that judgeth right
eously :
24 Who his own self bare our sins
in his own body on the tree, that we,
being dead to sins, should live unto
righteousness: by whosa stripes ye
were healed.
25 For ye were [as sheep going
astray : going astray, as sheep] ; but
are now returned unto the Shepherd
and Bishop of your souls;
CHAP. III.
LIKEWISE, ye wives, be in sub
jection to your own husbands;
that, if any obey not the word, they
also may without the word be won
by the conversation of the wives ;
2 While they behold your chaste
conversation coupled with fear.
3 Whose adorning let it not be
that outward adorning of plaiting the
hair, and of wearing of gold, or of,
putting on of apparel ;

4 But let it be the hidden man of
the heart, in that which is not cor
ruptible, even the ornament of a meek
and quiet spirit, which is in the sight
of God of great price.
5 For after this raanner in the old
time the holy women also, who trusted
in God, adorned theraselves, being in
subjection unto their own husbands :
6 Even as Sara obeyed Abraham,
caUing him lord ; whose daughters
ye are, as long as ye do well, and are
not afraid with any amazeraent.
7 Likewise, ye husbands, dwell
with thera according to knowledge,
giving honour unto the wife, as unto
the weaker vessel, and as being heirs
together of the grace of life; that
your prayers be not hindered.
8 Finally, be ye all of one mind,
having compassion one of another,
love as brethren, be pitiful, be
[courteous : humble minded] :
9 Not rendering evil for evil, or
railing for ralHng ; but contrariwise
blessing ; [knowing that : because] ye
are thereunto called, that ye should
inherit a blessing.
10 For he that will love life, and
see good days, let him refrain his
tongue frora evil, and his lips that
they speak no guile :
11 [^Kc?] Let him eschew evil,
and do good ; let him seek peace,
and ensue it.
12 For the eyes of the Lord are
over the righteous, and his ears are
open unto their prayers : but the face
of the Lord is against them that do evil.
13 And who is he that will harm
you, If ye be followers of that which
is good ?

FOEASMUCH then as Christ hath
suffered [for us] in the flesh, arm
yourselves likewise with the same
mind ; for he that hath suffered in
the flesh hath ceased from sin ;
2 That he no longer should live
the rest of his time in the flesh to the
lusts of men, but to the will of God.
3 For the time past [of our life]
may suffice [us] to have wrought the
will of the Gentiles, when we walked
in lasciviousness, lusts, excess of wine,
revellings, banquetings, and abomin
able idolatries :
4 Wherein they think it strange
that ye run not with them to the
same excess of riot, speaking evil of
you: 5 Who shall give account to him
that is ready to judge the quick and
the dead.
6 For for this cause was the gos
pel preached also to them that are
dead, that they might be judged
according to men in the flesh, but
live according to God in the spirit.
7 But the end of all things is at
hand: be ye therefore sober, and
watch unto prayer.

14 But and if ye suffer for right
eousness' sake, happy are ye: and be
not afraid of their terror, neither be
troubled ;
15 But sanctify [the Lord God:
Christ as Lord] in your hearts: and
be ready always to give an answer to
every man that asketh you a reason
of the hope that Is in you with meek
ness and fear :
16 Having a good conscience ;
that, whereas [they speak evil of
you, as of evildoers : you are spoken
against], they may be asharaed that
falsely accuse your good conversation
in Christ.
17 For it is better, if the will of
God be so, that ye suffer for well
doing, than for evil doing.
18 For Christ also hath once
suffered for sins, the just for the
unjust, that he might bring us to
God, being put to death in the flesh,

9 Use hospitahty one to another
without grudging,
10 As every man hath received
the' gift, even so minister the same
one to another, as good stewards of
the manifold grace of God.
11 If any man speak, let him
speak as the oracles of God ; if any
man minister, let him do it as of the

in all things may be glorified through
Jesus Christ, to whora be praise

Amen. 12 Beloved, think it not strange
concerning the fiery trial which is to
try you, as though some strange thing
happened unto you ;
13 But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are
partakers of Christ's sufferings; that,
when his glory shall be revealed, ye
may be glad also with exceeding
joy- 14 If ye be reproached for the
name of Christ, happy are ye; for
the spirit of glory and of God resteth
upon you[: on their part he is evil
spoken of, but on your part he is
glorified]. 15 But let none of you suffer as a
murderer, or as a thief, or as an evil
doer, or as a busybody in other men's
matters. 16 Yet if any man suffer as a
Christian, let hira not be asharaed ;
but let him glorify God on this
behalf 17 For the time is come that

judgment must begin at the house
of God : and if it first begin at us,
what shaU the end be of them that
obey not the gospel of God ?
18 And if the righteous scarcely
be saved, where shall the ungodly

19 Wherefore let them that suffer

the keeping of their souls to him in
well doing, [as] unto a faithful

THE elders which are among you
I exhort, who am also an elder,
and a witness of the sufferings of
Christ, and also a partaker of the
glory that shall be revealed :
2 Feed the fiock of God which Is
among you, taking the oversight
thereof, not by constraint, but will
ingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a
ready mind ;
3 Neither as being lords over God's
heritage, but being ensamples to the
flock, 4 And when the chief Shepherd
shall appear, ye shall receive a
crown of glory that fadeth not
away. 5 Likewise, ye younger, submit
yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all
of you [be subject] one to another,
and be clothed with humility: for
God reslsteth the proud, and giveth
grace to the humble,
6 Humble yourselves therefore
under the mighty hand of God, that
he may exalt you in due time :
7 Casting all your care upon hira ;
for he careth for you.

hath called us [to: by his own] glory
and virtue :
4 Whereby are given unto us
exceeding great and precious pro
mises: that by these ye might be
partakers of the divine nature, having
escaped the corruption that is in the
world through lust.
5 And beside this, giving all dili
gence, add to your faith virtue; and
to virtue knowledge;
6 And to knowledge temperance;
and to temperance patience; and to
patience godliness ;

IL PETEE, IL

7 And to godliness brotherly kind
ness; and to brotherly kindness
charity. 8 For if these things be in you,
and abound, they make you that ye
shaU neither be barren nor unfruitful
in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus
Christ. 9 But he that lacketh these -things
is blind, and cannot see afar off, and
hath forgotten that he was purged
frora his old sins.
10 Wherefore the rather, brethren,
give dUigence to make your calHng
and election sure : for if ye do these
things, ye shall never fall ;
11 For so an entrance shall be
ministered unto you abundantly into
the everlasting kingdom of our Lord
and Saviour Jesus Christ.
12 Wherefore [I will not be neg
ligent: / shall be ever sure] to put
you always in remembrance of these
things, though ye know them, and be
established in the present truth.
13 Yea, I think it meet, as long
as I am in this tabernacle, to stir
you up by putting you in remem
brance; 14 Knowing that shortly I must
put off this ray tabernacle, even as
our Lord Jesus Christ hath shewed
me. 15 Moreover I will endeavour that
ye raay be able after ray decease to
have these things always in remem
brance. 16 For we have not followed cun
ningly devised fables, when we made
known unto you the power and
coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but
were eyewitnesses of his majesty.
17 For he received from God the
Father honour and glory, when there

came such a voice to him from the
excellent glory. This is my beloved
Son, in whom I am well pleased.
18 And this voice which came from
heaven we heard, when we were with
him in the holy mount.
19 We have also a more sure word
of prophecy; whereunto ye do well
that ye take heed, as unto a light that
shineth in a dark place, untU the day
dawn, and the day star arise in your
hearts :
20 Knowing this first, that no
prophecy of the scripture is of any
private interpretation.
21 For the prophecy came not in
old time by the will of man; but
[holy men of God spake : men spake
from God] as they were moved by
the Holy Ghost. CHAP. IL
BUT there were false prophets
also among the people, even as
there shall be false teachers araong
you, who privily shall bring in
daranable heresies, even denying
the Lord that bought them, and
bring upon themselves swift destruc
tion, 2 And many shall follow their
[pernicious: wanton] yjsys; by reason
of whom the way of truth shall be
evil spoken of.
3 And through covetousness shaU
they with feigned words make mer
chandise of you: whose judgment
now of a long time Hngereth not, and
their damnation slumbereth not.
4 For If God spared not the angels
that sinned, but cast thera down to
hell, and delivered them into [chains :
pits] of darkness, to be reserved unto
judgment ;

preacher of righteousness, bringing
in the fiood upon the world of the
ungodly; 6 And turning the cities of Sodom
and Gomorrha into ashes conderaned
thera with an overthrow, making
thera an ensample unto those that
after should live ungodly;
7 And delivered just Lot, vexed
with the filthy conversation of the
wicked :
8 (For that righteous man dwelling
among thera, in seeing and hearing,
vexed his righteous soul frora day to
day with their unlawful deeds;)
9 The Lord knoweth how to de
Hver the godly out of temptations,
and to reserve the unjust unto the
day of judgment to be punished :
10 But chiefly them that walk
after the flesh in the lust of unclean
ness, and despise government. Pre
sumptuous are they, selfwilled, they
are not afraid to speak evil of digni
ties. 11 Whereas angels, which are
greater in power and raight, bring
not railing accusation against thera
[before the Lord].
12 But these, as natural brute
beasts, made to be taken and de
stroyed, speak evil of the things that
they understand not ; and shall
[utterly: even] perish in their own
corruption ;
13 And shall receive the reward

of unrighteousness, as they that count
it pleasure to riot in the day time.
Spots they are and blemishes, sporting
themselves [with their own deceiv-
ings: in their love-feasts] while they
feast with you;
14 Having eyes full of adultery,
and that cannot cease frora sin ; be
guiling unstable souls : an heart they
have exercised with covetous prac
tices; cursed children;
15 Which have forsaken the right
way, and are gone astray, following
the way of Balaam the son of Bosor,
who loved the wages of unright
eousness ; It

quity: the dumb ass speaking with
man's voice forbad the madness of the
prophet. 17 These are wells without water,
[clouds: and mists] that are carried
with a tempest; to whom the mist of
darkness is reserved [for ever].
18 For when they speak great
swelling words of vanity, they allure
through the lusts of the flesh, through
rauch wantonness, those that [were
clean escaped : are a little way escap
ing] from thera who live in error.
19 While they proraise them
liberty, they themselves are the ser
vants of corruption: for of whora a

brought in bondage.

THIS second epistle, beloved, I
now write unto you ; In both
which I stir up your pure rainds by
way of remembrance :
2 That ye may be mindful of the
words which were spoken before by
the holy prophets, and of the com
mandment of [us the apostles: your
apostles, that] ofthe Lord and Saviour :
3 Knowing this first, that there
shall come in the last days scoffers,
walking after their own lusts, •
4 And saying, Where is the pro
mise of his coming ? for since the
fathers fell asleep, all things continue
as they were from the beginning of
the creation.
5 For this they willingly are
ignorant of, that by the word of God
the heavens were of old, and the
earth standing out of the water and
in the water :
6 Whereby the world that then
was, being overflowed with water,
perished :

7 But the heavens and the earth,
which are now, by [the same: his\
word are kept in store, reserved unto
fire against the day of judgment and
perdition of ungodly men.
8 But, beloved, be not Ignorant of
this one thing, tliat one day is with
the Lord as a thousand years, and a
thousand years as one day.
9 The Lord is not slack concern
ing his promise, as some men count
slackness; but is longsuffering to [us-
ward ; you-ward\, not wiUing that any
should perish, but that all should
come to repentance.
10 But the day of the Lord wUl
come as a thief [iu the night] ; in the
which the heavens shaU pass away
with a great noise, and the elements
shaU melt with fervent heat, the earth
also and the works that are therein
shall be burned up.
11 Seeing [then] that aU these
things shall be [<Azis] dissolved, what
manner of persons ought ye to be in
all holy conversation and godUness,
12 Looking for and hasting unto
the coming of the day of God, where
in the heavens being on fire shaU be
dissolved, and the elements shaU melt
with fervent heat ?
13 Nevertheless we, according to
his promise, look for new heavens
and a new earth, wherein dweUeth
righteousness. 14 Wherefore, beloved, seeing that
ye look for such things, be diligent
that ye may be found of him in peace,
without spot, and blameless.

suffering of our Lord is salvation;

3 And every man that hath this
hope in him purifieth himself, even
as he is pure.
4 Whosoever committeth sin,
transgresseth also the law: for sin Is
the transgression of the law.
5 And ye know that he was mani
fested to take away [our] sins; and
in hira is no sin.
6 Whosoever abideth In him sin
neth not: whosoever sinneth hath
not seen him, neither known him,
7 Little children, let no man de
ceive you: he that doeth righteous
ness is righteous, even as he is
righteous. 8 He that committeth sin is of
the devil ; for the devil sinneth from
the beginning. For this purpose the
Son of God was manifested, that he
might destroy the works of the devil.
9 Whosoever is born of God doth
not coramit sin; for his seed remaln
eth In him : and he cannot sin, be
cause he Is born of God.

I. JOHN, IV.

10 In this the children of God are
manifest, and the children of the
devU: whosoever doeth not right
eousness is not of God, neither he that
loveth not his brother.
11 For this is the message that ye
heard from the beginning, that we
should love one another,
12 Not as Cain, who was of that
wicked one, and slew his brother.
And wherefore slew he him? Be
cause his own works were evil, and
his brother's righteous,
13 Marvel not, [my] brethren, if
the world hate you.
14 We know that we have passed
from death unto Ufe, because we love
the brethren. He that loveth not
[his brother] abideth in death.
15 Whosoever hateth his brother is
a murderer : and ye knowthat no mur
derer hath eternal life abiding in him.
16 Hereby perceive we the love of
God, because he laid down his life for
us: and we ought to lay down our
Uves for the brethren.
17 But whoso hath this world's
good, and seeth his brother have
need, and shutteth up his bowels of
compassion from him, how dwelleth
the love of God in him ?
18 My little children, let us not
love in word, neither in tongue; but
in deed and in truth,
19 [And] hereby we [shall] know
that we are of the truth, and shaU
assure our hearts before him.
20 For if our heart condemn us,
God Is greater than our heart, and
knoweth all things.
21 Beloved, if our heart condemn

us not, then have we confidence to
ward God.
22 And whatsoever we ask, we
receive of him, because we keep_ his
commandments, and do those things
that are pleasing in his sight,
23 And this is his commandment.
That we should believe on the name of
his Son Jesus Christ, and love one an
other, as he gave [us] comraandraent.
24 And he that keepeth his com
mandments dwelleth in hira, and he
In him. And hereby we know that
he abideth in us, by the Spirit which
he hath given us,
CHAP, IV.
BELOVED, believe not every
spirit, but try the spirits whether
they are of God : because many false
prophets are gone out into the world.
2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of
God : Every spirit that confesseth
that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh
Is of God :
3 And every spirit that confesseth
not [that Jesus Christ is come in the
flesh ; Jesus] Is not of God : and this
Is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye
have heard that it should corae ; and
even now already is it In the world.
4 Ye are of God, Httle children,
and have overcorae them : because
greater is he that is in you, than he
that is in the world.

fore speak they of the world, and the
world heareth them,

we the spirit of truth, and the spirit
of error.
7 Beloved, let us love one another :
for love is of God ; and every one
that loveth is born of God, and know
eth God.
8 He that loveth not knoweth not
God ; for God is love.
9 In this was manifested the love
of God toward us, because that God
sent his only begotten Son Into the
world, that we might live through
hira. 10 Herein Is love, not that we
loved God, but that he loved us, and
sent his Son to be the propitiation for
our sins.
11 Beloved, if God so loved us,
we ought also to love one another.
12 No raan hath seen God at any
time. If we love one another, God
dwelleth in us, and his love is per
fected in us.
13 Hereby know we that we dwell
in him, and he in us, because he hath
given us of his Spirit.
14 And we have seen and do
testify that the Father sent the Son
to be the Saviour of the world.
15 Whosoever shall confess that
Jesus is the Son of God, God dwell
eth in him, and he in God.
16 And we have known and be
lieved the love that God hath to us.
God is love ; and he that dwelleth in
love dwelleth in God, and God in
hira. 17 Herein is our love made per
fect, that we raay have boldness in
the day of judgment : because as he
is, so are we in this world,
18 There is no fear in love; but
perfect love casteth out fear: because
fear hath torment. He that feareth
Is ndt made perfect in love.

19 We love [him], because he first
loved us.
20 If a man say, I love God, and
hateth his brother, he is a liar: for
he that loveth not his brother whom
he hath seen, how can he love God
whom he hath not seen ?
21 And this comraandment have
we from hira. That he who loveth
God love his brother also.
CHAP. V.
WHO SO EVE E believeth that
Jesus is the Christ Is born of
God : and every one that loveth him
that begat loveth hira also that Is
begotten of hira.
2 By this we know that we love
the children of God, when we love
God, and [keep: do] his coraraand-
ments. 3 For this is the love of God, that
we keep his coraraandments : and his
commandments are not grievous.
4 For whatsoever is born of God
overcometh the world : and this Is
the victory that overcometh the world,
even our faith.
5 Who Is he that overcometh the
world, but he that believeth that
Jesus is the Son of God ?
6 This is he that came by water
and blood, even Jesus Christ ; not
by water only, but by water and
blood. And it is the Spirit that
beareth witness,- because the Spirit is
truth. 7 For there are three that bear
record [in heaven, the Father, the
Word, and the Holy Ghost: and
these three are one.
8 And there are three that bear
witness in earth], the spirit, and the
water, and the blood ; and these
three agree in one.

II, JOHN,

9 If we receive the witness of
men, the witness of God is greater:
for this is the witness of God {which :
in that] he hath testified of his Son,
10 He that beUeveth on the Son
of God hath the witness In himself :
he that beUeveth not God hath made
him a Har; because he beUeveth not
lie record- that God gave of his Son,
11 And this is the record, that
God hath given to us eternal life,
and this Hfe is in his Son,
12 He that hath the Son hath
Hfe; and he that hath not the Son of
God hath not life.
13 These things have I written
unto you [that believe on the name
of the Son of God] ; that ,ye raay
know that ye have eternal life, [and
that ye may : you that] believe on the
name of the Son of God.
14 And this is the confidence that
we have in him, that, if we ask any
thing according to his will, he hear
eth us :
15 And if we know that he hear
us, whatsoever we ask, we know that

we have the petitions that we desired
of him.
16 If any man see his brother sia
a sin which is not unto death, he
shall ask, and he shall give him life
for them that sin 'not unto death.
There is a sin unto death : I do not
say that he shall pray for it.
17 AU unrighteousness is sin : and
there is a sin not unto death.
18 We know that whosoever is
born of God sinneth not; but he
that is begotten of God keepeth him
self, and that wicked one toucheth
him not.
19 And we know that we are of
God, and the whole world Heth in
wickedness. 20 And we know that the Son of
God is come, and hath given us an
understanding, that we raay know
hira that is true, and we are in him
that is true, even in his Son Jesus
Christ. This is the true God, and
eternal life.

from idols. Amen.

from God the Father, and
[the Lord] Jesus Christ, the
Son of the Father, in truth and love.
4 I rejoiced greatly that I found
of thy children walking in truth, as
we have received a commandment
from the Father.
5 And now I beseech thee, lady,
not as though I wrote a new com
mandment unto thee, but that which
we had from the beginning, that we
love one another.
6 And this Is love, that we walk
after his commandments. This Is
the commandment. That, as ye have
heard frora the beginning, ye should
walk in it.
7 For raany deceivers are entered
into the world, who confess not that
Jesus Christ is corae in the fiesh.
This is a deceiver and an antichrist.
8 Look to yourselves, that [we : ye]

lose not those things which [we: ye]
have wrought, but that [we: ye] re
ceive a full reward.
9 Whosoever [transgresseth; goeth
in advance], and abideth not in the
doctrine of Christ, hath not God.
He that abideth In the doctrine [of
Christ], he hath both the Father and
the Son.
10 If there corae any unto you,
and bring not this doctrine, receive
hira not into your house, neither bid
hira God speed :
11 For he that biddeth him God
speed is partaker of his evil deeds.
12 Having many things to write
unto you, I would not write with
paper and ink : but I trust to corae
unto you, and speak face to face, that
our joy may be full.

greet thee. [Amen.]

7 Because that for his name's sake

words: and not content therewith,
neither doth he himself receive the

brethren, and forbiddeth them that
would, and casteth them out of the
church. 11 Beloved, follow not that which
Is evil, but that which is good. He
that doeth good is of God ; [but] he
that doeth evil hath not seen God..
12 Demetrius hath good report of
all men, and of the truth itself: yea,

membrance, though ye once knew
[this: all things], how that the Lord,
having saved the people out of the
land of Egypt, afterward destroyed
them that believed not.
6 And the angels which kept not
their first estate, but left their own
habitation, he hath reserved In ever
lasting chains under darkness unto
the judgment of the great day.
7 Even as Sodom and Gomorrha,
and the cities about them in like
manner, giving theraselves over to
fornication, and going after strange
flesh, are set forth for an example,
suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.
8 Likewise also these filthydreamers
defile the flesh, despise dominion, and
speak evil of dignities.
9 Yet Michael the archangel, when
contending with the devil he dis
puted about the body of Moses, durst
not bring against him a railing accu
sation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee.
10 But these speak evil of those
things which they know not : but
what they know naturally, as brute
beasts, in those things they corrupt
themselves. 1 1 Woe unto them ! for they have
gone in the way of Cain, and ran
greedily after the error of Balaam for
reward, and perished In the gainsay
ing of Core.
12 These are spots in your feasts
of charity, when they feast with you,
feeding themselves without fear :
clouds they are without water, car
ried [about: along] of winds; trees
whose fruit withereth, without fruit,
twice dead, plucked up by the roots ;
13 Eaging waves ofthe sea, foam

ing out their own shame; wandering
stars, to whom is reserved the black
ness of darkness for ever.
14 And Enoch also, the seventh
from Adam, prophesied of these, say
ing, Behold, the Lord coraeth with
ten thousands of his saints,
15 To execute judgraent upon all,
and to convince all that are ungodly
[araong thera] of all their ungodly
deeds which they have ungodly cora-
raitted, and of all their hard speeches
which ungodly sinners have spoken
against hira.
16 These are murmurers, com-
plainers, walking after their own lusts ;
and their mouth speaketh great swell
ing words, having men's persons in
admiration because of advantage.
17 But, beloved, remeraber ye the
words which were spoken before of
the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ;
18 How that they told you there
should be raockers in the last time,
who should walk after their own un
godly lusts,
19 These be they who separate
theraselves, sensual, having not the
Spirit. 20 But ye, beloved, building up
yourselves on your most holy faith,
praying in the Holy Ghost,
21 Keep yourselves in the love of
God, looking for the mercy of our
Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.
22 And [of some have compassion,
making a difference ; some rebut when
contending] :
23 And others save [with fear],
pulling them out of the fire; [and
others pity in fear] hating even the
garment spotted by the fiesh.

13 I know [thy works, and]

Satan's seat is: and thou boldest
fast my name, and hast not denied
my faith, even in* those days wherein
Antipas was ray faithful martyr, who
was slain among you, where Satan
dwelleth. 14 But I have a few things against
thee, [because] thou hast there them
that hold the doctrine of Balaam,
who taught Balac to cast a stumbling-
block before the children of Israel, to
eat things sacrificed unto idols, and
to commit fornication.
15 So hast thou also them_ tha,t

written, which no man knoweth
saving he that receiveth It.
18 And unto the angel of the

20 Notwithstanding I have [a few
things] against thee, [because: that]
thou sufferest thaU woman -Jezebel,
which calleth herself a prophetess,
[to teach and to seduce : and she
teaches and seduces] my servants to
commit fornication, and to eat things
sacrificed unto idols.
21 And I gave her space to repent
[of her fornication; and she repented
not : and she does not choose to repent
of her fornication].
22 Behold, I will cast her into a
bed, and thera that commit adultery
with her into great tribulation, ex
cept they repent of their : her] deeds.
23 And I wUl kill her children
with death ; and all the churches
shall know that I am he which
searcheth the reins and hearts: and
I will give unto every one of you
according to your works.
24 But unto you I say, [and unto]

not this doctrine, [and] which have
not known the depths of Satan, as
they speak ; I wiU put upon you
none other burden.
25 But that which ye have already

26 And he that overcometh, and
keepeth my works unto the end, to him
will I give power over the nations:.
27 And he shall rule them with a
rod of iron ; as the vessels of a potter
shall they be broken to shivers : even
as I received of my Father.

7 And to the angel of the church
In Philadelphia write; These things
saith he that is holy, he that Is true,
he that hath the key of David, he
that openeth, and no man [shutteth :
will shut] ; and shutteth, and no man
[openeth : will open] ;
8 I know thy works ; behold, I
have set before thee, an open door,
and no man can shut it : for thou
hast a little strength, and hast kept
my word, and hast not denied my
name. 9 Behold, I will make thera ofthe
synagogue of Satan, which say they
are Jews, and are not, but do lie;
behold, I will make them to come
and worship before thy feet, and to
know that 1 have loved thee.
10 Because thou hast kept the
word of my patience, I also will keep
thee from the hour of temptation,
which shall come upon all the world,
to try them that dwell upon the earth.
1 1 [Behold,] I come quickly ; hold
that fast which thou hast, that no

12 Him that overcometh will I
make a pillar in the teraple of my

and I will write upon him the name
of my God, and the name of the city
of my God, which is new Jerusalem,
which cometh down out of heaven
from my God : and I will write upon
him my new name.

15 I know thy works, that thou
art neither cold nor hot : I Would
thou wert cold or hot,
16 So then because thou art luke
warm, and neither cold nor hot, I
will spue thee out of my mouth.
17 Because thou sayest, I am rich,
and increased with goods, and have
need of nothing ; and knowest not
that thou art wretched, and miserable,
and poor, and blind, and naked:
18 I counsel thee to buy of me
gold tried In the fire, that thou
mayest be rich ; and white raiment,
that thou mayest be clothed, and that
the shame of thy nakedness do not
appear; and anoint thine eyes with
eyesalve, that thou mayest see.
19 As many as I love, I rebuke
and chasten : be zealous therefore,
and repent.
20 Behold, I stand at the door,
and knock : if any man hear my
voice, and open the door, I will
come in to him, and will sup with
him, and he with me.
21 To him that overcometh will
I grant to sit with me In ray throne,

upon like a jasper and a sardine

round about the throne, in sight like

4 And round about the throne
were four and twenty seats : and
upon the seats [I saw] four and
twenty elders sitting, clothed in
white raiment ; and [they had] on
their heads crowns of gold.
5 And out of the throne proceeded
lightnings and thunderings and voices :
and there were seven lamps of fire
burning before the throne, which are
the, seven Spirits of God.
6 And before the throne there was
[as it were] a sea of glass like unto
crystal : and in the midst of the
throne, and round about the throne,
were four beasts full of eyes before
and behind.
7 And the first beast was like a
lion, and the second beast like a calf,
and the third beast had a face as a

flying eagle.
8 And the four beasts had each of
thera six wings about hira; and they
were full of eyes within: and they
rest not day and night, saying. Holy,

book written within and on the back

2 And I saw a strong angel pro
claiming with a loud voice, Who is
worthy to open the book, and to
loose the seals thereof?
3 And no man in heaven, nor in
earth, neither under the earth, was
able to open the book, neither to
look thereon.
4 And I wept much, because no
man was found worthy to open [and
to read] the book, neither to look
thereon. 5 And one of the elders saith
unto me. Weep not ; behold, the
Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Eoot
of David, hath prevailed to open the
book, and [to loose] the seven seals
thereof 6 And I beheld [, and, lo,] in the
midst of the throne and of the four
beasts, and In the midst of the elders,
stood a Larab as it had been slain,
having seven horns and seven eyes,

which are the seven Spirits of God
sent forth into all the earth.
7 ' And he came and took [the
book; it] out of the right hand of
him that sat upon the throne.
8 And when he had taken the
book, the four beasts and four and
twenty elders fell down before the
Lamb, having every one of them
harps, and golden vials full of odours,
which are the prayers of saints,
9 And they sung a new song, say
ing. Thou art worthy to take the
book, and to open the seals thereof:
for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed
[us] to God by thy blood out of every
kindred, and tongue, and people, and
nation; 10 And hast made [us: them] [unto
our God] [kings ; a kingdom] and
priests: and [we shaU: they] reign on
the earth.
11 And I beheld, and I heard the
voice of raany angels round about the
throne and the beasts and the elders :
and the number of them was ten
thousand times ten thousand, and
thousands of thousands ;
12 Saying with a loud voice.
Worthy is the Lamb that was slain
to receive power, and riches, and
wisdom, and strength, and honour,
and glory, and blessing,
13 And every creature which is In
heaven, and on the earth, and under
the earth, and such as are in the sea,

I saw when the

Lamb

A J opened one of the [seven] seals,
and I heard, as it were the noise of
thunder, one of the four beasts say
ing. Come [and see].
2 And I saw, and behold a white
horse ; and he that sat on hira had a
bow; and a crown was given unto
him : and he went forth conquering,
and to conquer.
3 And when he had opened the
second seal, I heard the second beast,
say. Come [and see].
4 And there went out another
horse that was red : and power was
given to him that sat thereon to take
peace from the earth, and that they
should kill one another ; and there
was given unto him a great sword.
5 And when he had opened the
third seal, I heard the third beast
say. Come [and see]. And I beheld,
and lo a black horse ; and he that sat
on him had a pair of balances in his
hand. 6 And I heard [, as it were,] a
voice in the midst of the four beasts
say, A measure of wheat for a penny,
and three measures of barley for a
penny; and see thou hurt not the oil
and the wine.

fourth seal, I heard [the voice of] the
fourth beast say. Come [and see].
8 And I looked, and behold a pale
horse : and his narae that sat on him
was Death, and Hell followed with
him. And power was given unto
thera over the fourth part of the
earth, to kill with sword, and with
hunger, and ¦vrith death, and with the
beasts of the earth.
9 And when he had opened the
fifth seal, I saw under the altar the
souls of them that were slain for the
word of God, and for the testimony
which they held :
10 And they cried with a loud
voice, saying. How long, 0 Lord,
holy and true, dost thou not judge
and avenge our blood on them that
dwell on the earth?
11 And white robes were given
unto every one of thera ; and it was
said unto them, that they should rest
yet for a [little] season, until their
fellow-servants also and their bre
thren, that should be killed as they
were, should be fulfilled.
12 And I beheld when he had
opened the sixth seal, and, [lo,] there
was a great earthquake; and the sun
became black as sackcloth of hair, and
the moon became [altogether] as
blood; 13 And the stars of heaven fell
unto the earth, even as a fig tree cast
eth her untimely figs, when she is
shaken of a mighty wind.
14 And the heaven departed as a
scroll when it is rolled together; and
every mountain and island were raov
ed out of their places.
15 And the kings of the' earth,
and the great men, and the rich men,

and the chief captains, and the
mighty men, and every bondman,
and [every] free man, hid themselves
in the dens and in the rocks of the'
mountains ;
16 And said to the mountains and
rOcks, Fall on us, and hide us from
the face of him that sitteth on the
throne, and from the wrath of the
Larab: 17 For the great day of his wrath
is come ; and who shall be able to

AND when he had opened the
seventh seal, there was silence
in heaven about the space of half an
hour. 2 And I saw the seven angels
which stood before God ; and to
them were given seven trumpets.
3 And another angel came and
stood at the altar, having a golden
censer ; and there was given unto
him much incense, that he should
offer it with the . prayers of all saints

4 And the smoke of the incense,
which came with the prayers of the
saints, ascended up before God out of
the angel's hand.
5 And the angel took the censer,
and filled it with fire of the altar,
and cast it Into the earth ; and there
were voices, and thunderings, and
Hghtnings, and an earthquake.
6 And the seven angels which had
the seven trumpets prepared them
selves to sound.
7 The first [angel] sounded, and

EEVELATION, IX.

there followed hail and fire mingled
with blood, and they were cast upon
the earth : [and the third part of the
earth was burnt up] and the third
part of trees was burnt up, and all
green grass was burnt up.
8 And the second angel sounded,
and as it were a great mountain burn
ing with fire was cast into the sea:
and the third part of the sea became
blood; 9 And the third part of the crea
tures which were in the sea, and had
life, died ; and the third part of the
ships were destroyed.
10 And the third angel sounded,
and there fell a great star frora
heaven, burning as it were a larap,
and it fell upon the third part of the
rivers, and upon the fountains of
waters ;
11 And the narae of the star is
called Worrawood : and the third
part of the waters became worm
wood ; and many men died of the
waters, because they were made
bitter. 12 And the fourth angel sounded,
and the third part of the sun was
smitten, and the third part of the
moon, and the third part of the stars ;
so as the third part of thera was
darkened, and the day shone not for
a third part of it, and the night like
wise. 13 And I beheld, and heard an
[angel : eagle [ fiying through the
midst of heaven, saying with a loud
voice. Woe, woe, woe, to the in-

the other voices of the trumpet of

AND the fifth angel sounded, and
I saw a star fall from heaven
unto the earth : and to him was given
the key of the bottomless pit.
2 And he opened the bottomless
pit; and there arose a smoke out of
the pit, as the smoke of a great fur
nace ; and the sun and the air were
darkened by reason of the smoke
of the pit.
3 And there carae out of the
sraoke locusts upon the earth : and
unto thera was given power, as the
scorpions ol the earth have power.
4 And it was commanded them
that they should not hurt the grass
of the earth, neither any green thing,
neither any tree ; but [[only] those
men which have not the seal of God
in their foreheads. ,
5 And to them it was given that
they should not kill thera, but that
they should be tormented five months :
and their torment was as the torment
of a scorpion, when he striketb a
man. 6 And in those days shall men
seek death, and shall not find it; and
shall desire to die, and death [shall
flee: flees] from them.
7 And the shapes of the locusts
were Uke unto horses prepared unto
battle; and on their heads were as it
were crowns Hke gold, and their
faces were as the faces of men.
8 And they had hair as the hair of
women, and their teeth were as the
teeth of lions.
9 And they had breastplates, as it

two wings of a great eagle, that she
might fly into the wilderness, into

9 And men were scorched with
great heat, and blasphemed the narae

plagues: and they repented not to

10 And the fifth [angel] poured
out his vial upon the seat of the beast ;
and his kingdom was full of darkness ;
and they gnawed their tongues for pain,
11 And blaspheraed. the God of
heaven, because of their pains and
their sores, and repented not of their

out his vial upon the great river
Euphrates ; and the water thereof was
dried up, that the way of the kings
of the east might be prepared.
13 And I saw three unclean spirits
like frogs come out of the mouth of
the dragon, and out of the mouth of

15 Behold, I come as a thief.
Blessed is he that watcheth, and keep

1 9 And the great city was divided
Into three parts, and the cities ofthe
nations fell: and great Babylon came
in remembrance before God, to give
unto her the cup of the wine of the
fierceness of his wrath.
20 And every island fled away,
and the mountains were not found.
2 1 And there fell upon men a great
hall out of heaven, every stone about
the weight of a talent : and men blas
pheraed God because of the plague of
the hail ; for the plague thereof was
exceeding great.

AND there came one of the seven
angels which had the seven vials,
and talked with rae, saying [unto
me], Come hither; I will shew unto
thee the judgment of the great whore
that sitteth upon many waters :
2 With whom the kings of the
earth have committed fornication, and
the inhabitants of the earth have been
made drunk with the wine of her for

a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured
beast, full of names of blasphemy,

ness of her fornication ;
5 And upon her forehead was a name
written, MYSTEEY, BABYLON
THE GEEAT, THE MOTHEE
OF HAELOTS AND ABOMINA
TIONS OF THE EAETH,
6 And I saw the woman drunken
with the blood of the saints, and with
the blood of the martyrs of Jesus:
and when I saw her, I wondered with
great admiration.
7 And the angel said unto me.
Wherefore didst thou marvel ? I will
tell thee the mystery of the woraan,
and of the beast that carrieth her,
which hath the seven heads and ten
horns. 8 The beast that thou sawest was,
and is not ; and shall ascend out
of the bottomless pit, and [go: goes]
into perdition ; and they that dwell
on the earth shall wonder, whose
names were not written in the book
of life from the foundation of the
world, when they behold the beast
that was, and is not, and [ yet is : will
be present].9 And here is the mind which hath
wisdom. The seven heads are seven
mountains,on which the woman sitteth.
10 And there are seven kings : five
are fallen, [and] one is, and the other
is not yet come ; and when he cometh,
he must continue a short space.
11 And the beast that was, and Is

not, even he Is the eighth, and is of
the seven, and goeth into perdition.
12 And the ten horns which thou
sawest are ten kings, which have re
ceived no kingdora [as yet] ; but re
ceive power as kings one hour with
the beast,
13 These have one mind, and
[shall] give their power and strength
unto the beast.
14 These shall make war with the
Lamb, and the Larab shall overcorae
them : for he is Lord of lords, and
King of kings: and they that are
with him are called, and chosen, and
faithful. 15 And he saith unto me, The
waters which thou sawest, where the
whore sitteth, are peoples, and multi
tudes, and nations, and tongues,
16 And the ten horns which thou
sawest [ upon ; and ] the beast, these
shall hate the whore, and shall make
her desolate and naked, and shall eat
her flesh, and burn her with fire,
17 For God hath put In their hearts
to fulfil his will, and to agree, and
give their kingdom unto the beast,
until the words of God shall be fulfilled,

sawest is that great city, which reign-

3 For all nations have drunk [of

heaven, and God hath remerabered
her iniquities.

herself, and lived deliciously, so much
torment and sorrow give her : for she
saith in her heart, 1 sit a queen, and

8 Therefore shall her plagues come

of her torment, saying, Alas, alas

11 And the merchants of the earth
shall weep and mourn over her ; for

behold a white horse ; and he that
sat upon him was called Faithful and
True, and in righteousness he doth
judge and raake war.
12 His eyes were [as] a flame of
fire, and on his head were many
crowns ; and he had a name written,
that no man knew, but he himself
13 And he was clothed with a
vesture dipped in blood ; and his
narae is called The Word of God.
14 And the arrales which were in
heaven followed hira upon white
horses, clothed in fine linen, white
[and] clean.
15 And out of his mouth goeth a
sharp sword, that with it he should
smite the nations: and he shall rule
them with a rod of iron : and he tread
eth the winepress of the fierceness
[and : of the] wrath of Almighty God.
16 And he hath on his vesture
and on his thigh a name written,
KING OF KINGS, AND LOED
OF LOEDS.
17 And I saw an angel standing
in the sun; and he cried with a loud
voice, saying to all the fowls that fly

God;

18 That ye may eat the flesh of
kings, and the flesh of captains, and
the flesh of mighty men, and the
flesh of horses, and of them that sit on
them, and the flesh of all men, both^
free and bond, both sraall and great.
19 And I saw the beast, and the
kings of the earth, and their arrales,
gathered together to make war against
him that sat on the horse, and against
his army.
20 And the beast was taken, and
with hira the false prophet that
wrought miracles before him, with
which he deceived thera that had
received the raark of the beast, and
thera that worshipped his image.
These both were cast alive into a

out of his raouth : and all the fowls

had received his mark upon their

they lived and reigned with Christ a

5 [But] the rest of the dead lived
not again until the thousand years
were finished. This is the first resur

part in the first resurrection ; on such
the second death hath no power, but
they shall be priests of God and of
Christ, and shall reign with him a

7 And when the thousand years
are expired, Satan shall be loosed out
of his prison,
8 And shall go out to deceive the
nations which are in the four quarters
of the earth, Gog and Magog, to
gather them together to battle: the
number of whom is as the sand of

9 And they went up on the
breadth of the earth, and compassed
the carap of the saints about, and the
beloved city : and fire carae down

10 And the devil that deceived

the earth and the heaven fled away;

great, stand before [God: the throne];
and the books were opened ; and
another book was opened, which Is
the book of life : and the dead were
judged out of those things which
were written in the books, according

13 And the sea gave up the dead
which were In It; and death and hell
delivered up the dead which were in

raan according to their works.
14 And death and hell were cast

north three gates; on the south three
gates; and on the west three gates.
14 And the wall of the city had

measure the city, and the gates there
of, and the wall thereof
16 And the city lieth foursquare,
and the length is as large as the
breadth : and he measured the city

and the height of it are equal.
17 And he measured the wall

four cubits, according to the measure
of a raan, that is, of the angel.
18 And the building of the wall of
it was of jasper : and the city was
pure gold, like unto clear glass.
19 [And] the foundations of the

12 [And,] behold, I come quickly;
and my reward is with me, to give
every man according as his work
shall be.
13 I am Alpha and Omega, the
beginning and the end, the first and
the last.
14 Blessed are they that [do his

clean], that they may have right to
the tree of life, and may enter in

murderers, and Idolaters, and whoso
ever loveth and maketh a He.
16 I Jesus have sent mine angel
to testify unto you these things in

17 And the Spirit and the bride

let him take the water of life freely.
